Hearted Youtube comments on Oriental Pearl (@OrientalPearl) channel.

  1. Turning a potentially awkward situation into something fun and making a change in other people’s behavior down the road. 🤘

  2. I remember on my first trip to Japan. I came across a class of kids who were out practicing their English on foreign tourists, reading off scripts and giving out paper cranes. It was probably the most adorable thing I have ever seen
    36000
  3. When I once stood in an elevator in Shibuya109 two school girls started talking about how beautiful I was and how cute I dressed. I wanted to thank them but when I did they were more shocked than happy haha :D
    25000
  4. Kids have no "filter" - they say and do whatever pops into their head. Years ago, (after finishing my meal) a small kid came out of the restaurant to grab my hand and said "Hey Chinese man, come home with us." His mom came running out to stop him, and scolded him that you can't do that with a stranger. That's when I realized that small children are inhabiting a parallel universe in which ALL things are possible.

  5. My friend and I were at a nail salon and the people working were talking about her in another language. So she said "I know what you said" even though she didn't. They apologized for talking about her dried up cuticles. HAHA
    18000
  6. It’s nice seeing a potential negative turned into a positive.
    18000
  7. When the woman tried to change to Japanese and then you told her that you know Japanese as well. I completely lost it
    14000
  8. I’m Japanese and I’m letting y’all know this toxic appropriation shit is mainly in America , us Japanese people are happy when foreigners wants to learn our culture and respects it.
    13000
  9. “Your tummy is different from mine” That kid was going for it 💀
    12000
  10. I was in China for about a year in 2016, and traveled all over the country. As a tall white guy, so many people talked about me…and they didn’t know I spoke Chinese. It was so fun eavesdropping on them. Same thing happened in Peru, it’s quite fun to call people out if they say mean things. Otherwise I’d just smile at them.
    11000
  11. I like how, after the students got caught commenting about you, the teacher turned the tables and went full throttle in talking about them.
    11000
  12. Thank you so much for interviewing me and thank you for making this video. There are so many homeless individuals out there who are in worse situations than I am, and I hope that they receive more support. I am glad that I was able to help make this video even just a little. By the way, that steak made me really happy😊 Arigato gozaimasu!!

  13. "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart." - Nelson Mandela

  14. "I don't even know what languages i should speak at this point" i wish i had that kind of struggle
    10000
  15. "They're all bad. Nobody's feelings are hurt, they're just all bad" ah yes, true equality
    10000
  16. I love when people pass their native tongue down to their children. It’s so important
    9200
  17. Reminds me of that video where an afican kid was scared of a guy because he "looked like a ghost" that was hilarious
    8600
  18. You’re single handedly helping Americans seem smarter and nicer then we actually are
    8400
  19. Just a reminder to the rest of us: Even if you do not speak the language fluently, people will appreciate it and smile even if you are able to use just a few words.
    8000
  20. Japanese kids are really polite and friendly
    7900
  21. Hi!!! Thanks for riding my Rickshaw. 😍 Also I am looking forward to see next video.✨✨✨ I am going to be your 🐴 from now. hahahaha!!!
    7800
  22. “Can YOU speak to girls in Japan?” I can’t speak to girls normally.
    7700
  23. Actually I quite like how Japan is so high tech, but yet so old school at the same time
    7200
  24. Hahaha, died when the kid said your tummy is different from mine 😂
    7100
  25. The man that said "please carry on living in Japan" literally made me cry. As a foreigner I've heard the opposite sentence so many times in the place I was born and raised. "go back to your country". It was very wholesome to hear someone say something like that, and quite surprising too. I hope to meet people with this kind of mindset now that I moved to Japan. thanks for the great content.
    7100
  26. I don't know why but seeing those women doing American style dances in kimonos was pretty damn dope!
    6500
  27. Love people who are mixed. Best of both worlds.
    6400
  28. Honestly, I'm glad that Japanese natives are getting exposed to foreigners at such an early age. There will come a time where seeing someone THAT different from you will not be a big deal and it would be a moment of coexistence that we should strive for.
    6100
  29. I’m a Japanese high school students who learning English. I have a strong feeling to want to create peace as many countries as possible, so I started studying English! and your voice is so beautiful✨ clear and easy to catch!! also your Japanese is so wonderful and perfect! I’m really happy you like Japanese! also the video was so much fun!! Thank you so much! 👍 And I love America! also all nations💫 I love you guys!!
    6000
  30. This girl looks like a strong tuff baddie from a cool anime. So yeah. They're blind!!! You're stunning <3
    6000
  31. "Are u with the Olympics" Lol
    5700
  32. Best memory of kids in Japan was walking near an elementary school baseball field in Naha and the entire team surrounded me and asked me to make a muscle. Talk about making you feel like Arnold.
    5400
  33. As Bruce Lee said:"I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times."
    5300
  34. Rickshaw guy seemed like a good bloke, funny and well informed.
    5300
  35. As a Japanese person who was born and raised in Brazil, then moved to the USA, earned a USA citizenship through the military, then moved to Japan, I can say it firsthand that this is common around the world. In Brazil, I was never referred to as "Brasileiro" was "Japonês". In the USA, I was never Brazilian, I was Japanese. I finally gave up on trying to convince people that I was Brazilian and moved to Japan (Joking about this, but I did move to Japan). Regardless, in Japan, they don't refer to me as Brazilian or American, they just assume I am Japanese. I guess I ended up just coming full circle in the circle of ethnicity/nationality.
    5200
  36. This is a classic example of “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” (Quote by Nelson Mandela)! I’m happy for you, Anming 😊
    5100
  37. My experience with speaking Chinese/Japanese: When you start learning/speaking with natives they will compliment you a lot. Once you actually reach a decent level, your native friends will start to tell you how shit you actually are.
    5100
  38. Kids are very fascinated with foreigners for sure. Keep in mind, about 90% of the population is Japanese and the rest are foreigners. When kids or even elderly see foreigners, they are sometimes surprised. I've even had times where an old woman will start randomly speaking to me in Japanese, it's pretty interesting haha. (keep in mind, I said about 90%. You don't need to message me telling me it's more, I was just estimating lol.)
    4900
  39. I am Japanese. I respect your activities. I live in Tokyo and I did not know about these homeless people. Thank you for sharing. I want to support your activities.
    4600
  40. At first I thought things had changed in Japan when it came to mixed race people, I guess not. Although the young people you spoke to seemed pretty cool. When I was a child in Japan in 1955 my parents and I would take the bus into town, once in a while a man would ride that sat in a corner all by himself and looked scared. I asked my dad why that was and dad told me he was a child of a black service man and a Japanese lady and therefore was considered a social outcast. I felt so bad for the man.
    4500
  41. As a Japanese person I can 100% agree it's surprising seeing foreigners speak Japanese very fluently!
    4500
  42. She is so beautiful! <333333
    4400
  43. I speak Tagalog, Bisaya and Waray. I’ve seen a few prank videos of white people speaking 12 or so different languages and whenever they speak to Filipinos I could barely understand them because they’re accent was so bad. It was painfully obvious they had only memorized a few sentences.
    4400
  44. That guy's English is phenomenal.
    4300
  45. The black girl is so beautiful, I couldn‘t even focus on your conversation haha
    4300
  46. No way!!! Is that Aju? One of the kindest Japanese woman I have met during my travels in Japan. I met her last year at Weerasakrack Muay Thai gym in Tokyo, September 2023 during our Muay Thai training session and she acted as a translator for me to a tradesperson working at the gym which then led onto having a really great unforgettable conversation with her before I had to dash to DisneySea. I was thinking about her before YouTube algorithm recommended me this videos and instantly recognised her on the thumbnail. If you're are reading this Aju, many greetings from your Australian friend, Z
    4300
  47. I like how appreciative people are because learning a foreign language is really really hard.
    4300
  48. I like how Japanese people don't seem to mind but western people are an a uproar lol they need a life. Keep it up girl love your videos and God bless. Also you and your soon to be husband are a wonderful couple I hope you have a great life together
    4200
  49. "eeeeEEEEE.." I love that expression words so much 🤣
    4100
  50. You’re in Japan and all these Japanese people are speaking Chinese? Wow
    4100
  51. The little Japanese children encouraging each other to speak English was adorable.
    4000
  52. You can tell she's half Japanese. Her facial features says it all! Also, she's really gorgeous
    4000
  53. I'm Japanese American and lived in Japan a few years ago. American tourists would assume that I'm Japanese and talk about me. It was funny to see their reaction when I spoke to them in English. One time I ran into an older couple that was lost. The wife, exasperated, exclaimed, "I wish somebody around here spoke English!" When I answered, "how can I be of assistance?", she jumped back like she saw a ghost. Good times. :D
    3900
  54. I love how polite she is about all of these situations. It takes a certain kind of nice person to be able to have fun rather than get offended.
    3900
  55. You are so amazing! Such an inspiration to learn a new language! 🤩♥️
    3900
  56. Your Japanese kinda sounds like a Chinese person speaking Japanese I guess it makes sense since you became fluent in Chinese
    3900
  57. I’m Japanese.This video gave me the confidence and courage to speak to random foreigners. Thank you 🙏
    3800
  58. rickshaw driver: speaks while running and pulling rickshaw me: panting hella hard tryna catch my breath after climbing one flight of stairs
    3800
  59. SHE DID IT GUYS, SHE JUST REVERSE THAT "NIHONGO JYOZU" TO JAPANESE PERSON XD
    3800
  60. People living in a country side in japan are actually really kind and friendly. They just don’t know how to communicate with foreigners. Nobody criticized you because of the nationality or that kind of things for sure.
    3700
  61. From my experience, Japanese was the least surprised when you're speaking their language BUT they showed the most respect for you for trying to speak in their language.
    3600
  62. Dude running while speaking, and didn't eve lose his breathe. He called me weak in japanese
    3600
  63. The only reason why i want to learn the japanese language is prolly to watch animes without subtitles
    3600
  64. The people say they are scared because they are so comfortable saying bad things about others without any recourse. When I was teaching, I had 2 Iranian students say awful things, including derogatory words, about a patient that was gracious enough to allow students to learn from his suffering. I hauled them out and told them to never speak anything but English in front of a patient. They told me they didn't say anything bad (in Farsi). Then I repeated what they said. They went a little pale. It's a massive sign of disrespect in this situation
    3500
  65. When I was in Japan a few years ago, absolutely no Japanese people paid attention to me, which, as a afro American, kinda surprised me. The Chinese tourists, however, wanted me to pose for pictures with them for no reason. One guy put his arm around me and said "Kobe!" Lmao I look like Kobe Bryant the same way Paul Rudd looks like Charlie Sheen. 😂
    3500
  66. You not only mastered the language, but you understand the cultural talking points and expressions. You would be the ultimate tour guide.
    3400
  67. This is for all the introverts out there who are afraid of talking to strangers , I mean it gave me courage🤣
    3400
  68. Imagine going to a tourist attraction and becoming the attraction.
    3300
  69. I feel bad for the lady in 3:51 her posture looks really painful
    3300
  70. "Cultural appropriation" has become a buzzword, detached from the problem it originally described. Originally it expressed a phenomenon where people of the dominant ethnicity "appropriate" clothes and hairstyles from minority ethnicities, but at the same time shame minority ethnicities for dressing in an "ethnic way". Like White Americans who use Native American accessories for fashion, but would laugh at a Native for doing the same. That's why it was called "appropriation"- "taking away" by shaming, while simultaneously making a fashion statement. A person doesn't "appropriate" Japanese culture just by virtue of dressing Japanese or eating Japanese food. Because the word isn't about hobbies, it's about social dynamics between majority and minority. When said person even lives in Japan and IS part of the minority ethnicity, accusing her of "appropriation" is nonsensical.
    3300
  71. I cant have conversations this good even in English.
    3300
  72. I love how kids often are basically like, you are fat or sometimes might even say you are ugly or something that might seem harsh, but they will still want to get to know you, they will still be your friend. They accept you the way you are unconditionally. They arent subjective yet, they see you as is AND take you as is. (Which ironically is how you develop your subjective views you have later in life)
    3300
  73. i think the paranoia of other people talking bad about you mainly only happens when you are monolingual i've lived in a country where foreigners stand out so much and i've yet to hear anyone around me criticize them openly in public or when i travel and i hear people speak spanish, japanese, etc. i highly doubt they're talking bad about me you can easily tell from body language the way how they do gestures when talking is a telling sign its very common in america, you meet a lot of monolingual americans and they're obsessed with the ideology that the whole world revolves around them (one time i was asking my mom on the phone what type of napkins she wants in tagalog and it so happens i made eye contact with someone at target, this karen started screaming at me and told a worker i was harassing her wild isn't it lol)
    3200
  74. Idk if it’s my social anxiety but every time she starts talking to someone I’m like “omg they don’t want to talk pls leave” and then they turn out to have nice convos AHAHA
    3200
  75. the "im good" when he asked if you wanted to see his work got me dead 🤣🤣🤣
    3200
  76. Doing this in Germany is always fun. You can speak perfect German to someone and they'll respond in perfect English, almost completely ignoring the fact that you're speaking German. It's either due to wanting to be a good host, or that many Germans are quite confident that their English is better than your German lol
    3100
  77. in most asian countries, if a foreigner make the effort to learn the local language and get very into the local cultures, they will be very appreciating for the love and effort you have for their country.
    3100
  78. I admire the way you immerge yourself in Chinese and Japanese languages. We Asians love to see Westerners who make an effort in speaking our language. I myself discovered the magic of language learning and dedicated myself to learning Spanish. Travel becomes so much more exciting and was well rewarded by smiles and friendship. The locals of Latin America love to see a Chino who trying hard to speak their language.

  79. When I worked as a cashier at an Express clothing store, this mother and daughter weren't talking about me, but about the clothes the daughter was going to purchase (she looked like she was in her late teens). They were speaking in Spanish, thinking I couldn't understand them. In Spanish the mom says, "Vas a comprar esos? (You're going to buy those?!)" The daughter responds "Si? (yeah?)" To which the mom asks while kinda gesturing towards me, "Que? Quieres enseñar lo tus chichis? (What? You want to show him your titties?)" That caught me so off guard that I started laughing. They both look at me, and the mom asks me in English, "Oh you speak spanish?" So I respond in Spanish, "Si, mi mama ere de Guatemala. (Yeah, my mom is from Guatemala)." The mom does this little chuckle and says "oops" to her daughter while her daughter hung her head in embarrassment. That will forever be one of my favorite interactions with customers.
    3000
  80. The guy is bragging to others about like you’re his A student daughter omg couldn’t be me
    3000
  81. Universal truth: village people are more homie and friendly than city people
    3000
  82. welp, its a fact that Japanese ppl can wear anything and still look cool af
    3000
  83. Yes, Japanese, Korean, and other east asians have a reputation of being unfriendly toward foreigners. From personal experiences, I do agree that they are friendlier but it depends on who you are and what you look like too. That's the same in the US or anywhere else in the world. Being a tall and attractive blond female who can speak Japanese will definitely get strangers to open up quickly to you. Others who don't quite fit this profile won't get the same kind of reception, unfortunately.
    3000
  84. Your code-switching is incredible. I've been able to speak German, Spanish, and Mandarin to different degrees at various points in my life, but I get "stuck" in whatever I've been speaking recently. Flowing from one language to another across three languages is really impressive. Such an agile brain.
    2900
  85. Green eyes common? ain't green like one of the rarest eye colors in the world???lol
    2800
  86. 2:21 "Whatever country you live in, you should study the local language". Absolutely! Respect the ways and customs wherever you live, and learn to communicate in their language. Arigato!
    2800
  87. Those kids don't seem any different than....well...any kids. They don't see the world through any political or socioeconomically inspired lens, they are just exploratory and honest. God bless them.
    2800
  88. How to learn Japanese. Say something then say “ehhhhh”
    2800
  89. Her entire face looks Japanese to me! Her features are very telling imo. She’s very beautiful.
    2700
  90. Homeless people in Japan are more respectful and way more chill than most non-homeless in America. Its crazy.
    2600
  91. “Studying foreign languages is my hobby.” You’re better at your hobby than I am at my life. 🤣😂
    2600
  92. "Don't worry about the american soldier, he got a really hot wife" lmao that got me laughing
    2400
  93. Oh god, those boys at the beach probably thought: "just like the simulations"
    2400
  94. My son grew up as a bilingual (Chinese/German). Nevertheless as an infant it was difficult for him to switch quickly between these two languages and it was impossible for him to translate. That changed when he was around 6 years old. A funny experience was a visit to the U.S. when he was five. He tried to speak German to his US/Chinese cousin and she tried to speak English to him. It took me quite a while to convince both children that they need to speak Chinese to each other. Finally they switched to Chinese and I was no longer part of this conversation.
    2400
  95. Rural Japan is often missed out on by tourists when it has lots of hidden gems to be found! The people you meet along the way are some of the best friends you could find :)
    2400
  96. I went to Tokai University and it’s hilarious when people in Japan are freaked out by a Relative Big Black American guy speaking Japanese especially in the country. It’s fun to surprise the elderly.
    2400
  97. Haha no one seemed so surprised really. I like that though. You speak japanese? Oh cool. Blablabla. Youre good at keeping the conversation flowing. Well done!
    2300
  98. The way you effortlessly switch between Chinese and Japanese is amazing
    2300
  99. Of all the ‘American in Asia’ channels, this one is the best at blending real education with a truly fun and quirky sense of humor. Always look forward to the latest!
    2300
  100. Your mom and in-laws efforts to speak each other’s languages to each other was so sweet and heartwarming 🥰
    2300
  101. I'm now deep into multilingual YouTube and I'm addicted.
    2300
  102. I think it's you the one responsible for curing depression with your contagious personality, your happiness just translates so well to other languages!! Indeed awesome :D
    2300
  103. Some days ago I was in the subway and there were two japanese boys who sit next to me and talked to me in my language. But sometimes they talked to each other in japanese and they talked about ME. When I exited the subway I told them in japanese that I understood everything and wished them a good day but that was so awkward 😂😩
    2200
  104. I had an interesting experience. I had been in Japan for about 2 years and was visiting Tokyo to renew my Visa. I had to stay in a hostel in Ikebukuro. In the evening I was sitting with some tourists. One guy was from the US with his Japanese American girlfriend (nisei) and there was this girl from Europe. She had basic Japanese down but was claiming to know more than me. I didn't call her out on it. I let it slide. So I asked her how many languages do you speak? She said that in Europe most people can speak multiple languages. I speak French, English, Swiss and German. The American guy asks "You speak German?" looking surprised. The girl was so proud of the fact she is a polygot and said yes. And he asked, at what level? She said, University level. Then the American guy started speaking absolutely fluent German... and it sounded so cool. Apparently he was from a military family and he had lived in Germany for about 10 years as a child. He was just so excited to be able to speak with someone in German. And the so called Polygot girl from Europe couldn't understand a word of what he said (because he spoke so fluently and at a natural speed, it was too quick for her to pick up) and she had to admit her German was that of a 4 year old. She thought she was safe boasting among us simple Americans and Australians... no way did she expect that the American guy spoke fluent German. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen. So you never know. Best policy is to be honest about your abilities.
    2200
  105. Omg this Japanese-Chinese gurl was so kind! So adorable !
    2200
  106. Lady: look how close this cars are... We Indians: are we joke to you....
    2200
  107. I like how she said "if you can speak up its not that bad" if that isn't the truth... yea I hear so much horrible things. However if you guys notice they are often coming from people that didn't speak up for themselves. People tried to bully me in China for being a black foreigner , LOL I showed them and became a popular local Chinese folk dancer lmao. When you are different or even if you aren't different, you need to have confidence, don't let the sour lemons of life constantly put you down.
    2100
  108. "I study Chinese for a boy, but now I have a Japanese boyfriend , and I study Japanese." All you Indian and Spanish boys..you might have a chance in the future if she enjoys your language !!!! 🤣🤣🤣
    2100
  109. the lady in black wanted to dance so badly!!!
    2100
  110. 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.
    2000
  111. It’s sad when people judge you based on your looks rather than who you truly are, which can make one feel alienated. It just goes to show as a harsh reminder of how hollow and narrow-minded society can be
    2000
  112. I speak 3 Asian languages, Mandarin, Japanese, and Thai, at a conversational level. One time, ONE TIME, I was at a beach party in eastern Taiwan and I found myself talking with a group that included a local (Chinese speaker), a Japanese, and a Thai visitor. That I could speak to all 3 of them in their languages, telling a little about myself, where I studied their languages, and what I was doing in Taiwan probably made me look unreal. That there were speakers of all 3 languages I speak, and no native speakers of anything I didn't speak, probably made it look like I was some kind of language master. That exact combo has never happened since.
    2000
  113. Yeah, besides his perfect Japanese it's apparent he grew up in Japan because he really knows how to be "silly" with Japanese school children. IMHO one of the most beautiful things about Japanese children is that they still retain some of their immaturity without being forced to grow up too soon like in the West.
    2000
  114. It’s incredible how much admiration foreigners have for us when we take the time to learn their language, and yet all we do is make fun of them when they try to speak English. Sad
    2000
  115. "You have a boyfriend?" "I have a husband." AAAHHHHHH!!! lol That was too funny.
    2000
  116. That looked really fun, and the kids will probably remember this experience the rest of their lives.
    2000
  117. The best reaction me and my friends got EVERYTIME we came across schoolchildren in Japan, was about our height. We are all around 190cm, which meant we pretty much towered over everyone there. The kids would look up to us in awe and start saying 'Woah, se ga takai!!', which was the funniest thing.
    2000
  118. I loved how they allowed all of us to go inside their living room and share a new year celebration with them!
    2000
  119. 6:54 "I like how quiet it is here...". Meanwhile, the super loud cicadas at the background are having a party haha.
    2000
  120. As anothe half Japanese raised in Japan, I never ever want to move back. It was hard watching this, but thank you for filming and being so vulnerable! Loved the video.
    2000
  121. Kids are seriously the best. Haha 😂 I love their reactions the most.
    1900
  122. "How dare you not take an interest in other cultures! That's racist!" takes an interest in other cultures "How dare you take an interest in other cultures! That's racist!" You're damned if you do, damned if you don't with these people. It's cultural APPRECIATION not "appropriation".
    1900
  123. The way he was standing near the piano to wait to play was SO relatable. That would be 100%
    1900
  124. When I was traveling in Xi'an with my mom, she overheard a woman speaking German and so started speaking German with them and through the conversation learned that she actually had stayed with the woman's family 40 years before in Germany when was an exchange student.
    1900
  125. As a black person looking at his facial features it's immediately apparent that he's mixed race. lol Lots of non mixed black people have an Asiatic eye shape, but for him it's not just the eye shape, it's almost all of his facial features that strongly hint at Asian ancestry.
    1900
  126. It's the pronunciation that does it. Some people are just naturally good at pronouncing sounds that don't exist in their native language. Other people aren't. I remember watching an American diplomat speak German on German TV and his pronunciation was horrible... but he knew all sorts of words I had never heard before. Having knowledge on that level shows the amount of effort that was put into learning the language.

  127. Congrats from a stranger on the internet! I'm sorry you didn't have your family there for the big day but it looked like a beautiful ceremony anyway. My little sister got married to a Japanese guy a few years back and the mixture of Scottish and Japanese customs was great fun, He wore a kilt for the ceremony and she wore a ceremonial kimono for the reception, whole thing was really cute. Two countries with a strong drinking culture though so got a bit messy after that!

  128. The best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do.

  129. The funny thing is for me as an Australian, I can easily see and hear that this man is Japanese, even though I don't speak Japanese. His posture, hand gestures, mannerisms are all very much the same as Japanese tourists/students I have met here in Australia or seen on t.v/movies. His English also has a slight Japanese accent to it.

  130. I really love how confident you are especially in situations that might be a little uncomfortable, you laugh it off or take hold of it and turn it into something positive! I guess you have to grow a certain level of confidence living in a different country and learning new languages, being amongst locals where you stand out. It’s really fascinating

  131. I've been loving these videos and seeing their reactions.
    1800
  132. Hahah "I live with 6 Chinese people in Japan, I don't know why, I just do!" I love you. Skating was so fun! <3 I hope we can hang out soon before you head back to China!

  133. Best eye colour I have seen in my life was a family where the kids where half pakistani and half dutch, they had yellowish/golden eyes and before seeing it I was not even sure that was possible.
    1800
  134. I don't think it's that odd, you're very extroverted, caucasian, blonde and speak fluently. You are novel, people are attracted to novel things.

  135. My wife was born in the Philippines. She had a filipina friend who was married to a Japanese guy that was temporarily working at a car parts plant here in the USA. One day we were helping them move and her friend was spinning in circles talking to her husband in japanese, my wife in tagalog and me in english. I was just in awe that she could do that. I really envy people like this that can speak multiple languages. Very impressive! Congratulations on your hard work.
    1800
  136. It was super sweet how you handled those highschool kids, even giving that guy several chances to muster the courage for a photo together. As a former teenage boy, I can tell you that you definitely made his day lol
    1800
  137. She is sooo right about parents needing their own time and hobbies. A well rounded happy parent is a better parent. Also devoting your every waking moment and existence to your child is just setting them up to be a maladapted adult.
    1800
  138. Funny how we always admire others but never ourselves. While that lady is in admiration in front of you, all I'm thinking is wow, this lady (the japanese girl) is soooo beautiful!!!
    1800
  139. That old man was so nice.
    1700
  140. Americans: you should learn our ways and assimilate to our society if you come here! Also Americans: you can't do that in another country! CualTuRe ApPrOpRiAtIoN durrhurr 🙄

  141. It's interesting when she switches to a different language she takes on the speaking mannerisms of the people who speak that language.
    1700
  142. At 0:36 covered in sand running to the water: "No, I'm not with the Olympics, I just swam here from America and now I'm swimming back."

  143. “If you were shy, you wouldn’t be wearing clothes different to everyone else” That actually boosted my confidence a bit, thank you for that, haha
    1700
  144. For those wanting to go to Japan to teach English, being a native doesn't make you a teacher. It's not the lazy way into a foreign country. If you are serious about teaching English at least get some books on how to teach EFL and particularly on the differences between the language your pupils will speak and the one you will be teaching cause that changes the approach.
    1700
  145. I laughed really hard when she pulls you over to her almost like a mom does when she is trying to get a family picture.
    1700
  146. It's quite nice to see this gentleman inviting you to see his home. He's actually telling us: "Please, dont treat us like nothing just because we are here, we are kind, clean and humans as you are".
    1600
  147. This is what "journalism" used to be before it got owned by govt and big corporations. Real stories where real people get seen. Thank you for trying to make a difference.
    1600
  148. Anming, there are many YouTubers speaking different languages, but NOBODY comes off as more natural and real as you. You impress everyone because you are not "trying". You actually speak the languages.
    1600
  149. Japan: “People fighting over the bill” The Netherlands: “You are gonna pay for this by yourself right?”
    1600
  150. It must be so hard to have to deal with that from everyone she meets, but she handles it so gracefully.
    1600
  151. My late boyfriend was born in Japan, he was Japanese/hispanic and his mom's side of the family actually completely disowned him. He said they hated him. His mother was buried in the family site and he was not allowed to even visit. I'm very glad Jesse has a good attitude about it because from what I've experienced even as an outsider it can be awful. He said the general people would be very judgmental as well especially the older generations.
    1600
  152. The day of the entrance ceremony at the school I'm working at, a 1st grader came to me and asked "外国人ですか？" (which means "are you a foreigner?"). Didn't expect that one 😂😂 Also, because I'm overweighted, some 1st graders used to run to me to touch my tummy 🤣🤣🤣 But my funniest experience was about 1 year ago, when I was living in Otsu (a small city in Shiga prefectura, near Kyoto). It was raining, so I was using an umbrella. A kid (maybe 8 years old?) passed by while I was waiting to cross the street, and then he looked up and realized I looked different. His face suddenly changed and he opened his eyes wide, and he kept staring directly at me with that shocked expression while he walked away (yeah, he was walking backwards so he could keep looking at me) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    1600
  153. His family is so sweet!!! His mom saying there were lots of embarrassing photos and his dad saying he might get teased on YouTube. Omg. So adorable!!! This looks like an amazing way to spend new years!! 🥰🥰

  154. I had a Japanese roommate in college for something like 3 years. He had come to the US originally on some sort of agricultural exchange and then learned enough English to enroll in college. I grew up on a farm so he would come stay with my family on holidays and over summer vacation. He invited me to come with him to visit his family in rural Japan in 1974 or 1975 (don't remember). His family had some land with sheds for raising chickens and for gathering eggs for sale. His uncle had a rice farm in the neighborhood. So, being a farm boy, I helped out gathering eggs, vaccinating chickens, and other farm chores after I studied Japanese in the morning. One day I was helping harvest rice. My friend would run a small combine to pick the rice and I would carry the bags full of rice to the edge of the country lane to be hauled away by a truck. One afternoon, I just happened to be at the edge of the lane putting down a bag of rice when a woman walked right by me down the lane. I said "konnichiwa" to be polite. When I got back to the house , his sisters were howling with laughter because the woman had called all over the neighborhood to find out where the "woman with a mustache" was staying. It was because I was wearing a Pendleton wool shirt against the chilly weather (October) and the color was mostly blue with thin yellow and red stripes. To her only a woman would wear those colors. At the train station when classes of kids would get off the train and see me, they would start jumping up and down yelling "gaijin, gaijin, gaijin" and shooting me with imaginary rifles. I really liked 99% of the people I met. They were thrilled to talk to a foreigner and I was invited out to dinner all the time. The people who had studied English at the university were ecstatic to be able to practice. I did get tired of being taken for some sort of non-human by some people who would tug my hair and pull down my eyelids to see my green eyes. The retired school teacher who tutored me in Japanese was one of my favorite people in my life in the world.

  155. The more you know a language, the more humble you become about it. Some real polyglots won’t even tell you because even though they’re almost at a native level they will still be insecure about it.
    1600
  156. My pet peeve: polyglots claiming "I learned language X in 15 days!", when they should actually say that they studied it FOR 15 days. Subtle difference in a cheap shot.
    1500
  157. That kimono/American fusion dancing was amazing. I literally started laughing it was so good. I've never seen anything like it. Gonna have to watch that over and over.
    1500
  158. When I was a kid, seeing and talking to a foreigner in my hometown was a reminder that there's a bigger world out there. It did not seem much, but Im very sure you just made their day 😊
    1500
  159. It was weird hearing you speak English after all that Chinese and Japanese.
    1500
  160. The lady when you said "Thank you for your hard work." was a delight! She cracked me up laughing too, it was contagieous like her good food. Everyone must try. I liked how even people from Canada visited her shop that made me feel happy (I'm from Canada as well).
    1500
  161. I think you studying at Fudan University was a great decision because every time you mention it to Chinese people even those not in China their faces light up with surprise and admiration! :D
    1500
  162. "Funny, I just got complimented by an American" for speaking accent free chinese in japan kek world is small
    1400
  163. She got moves. That was a fun watch and I completely lost track of time (always a good sign).
    1400
  164. When we visited Vietnam, we stayed mainly in rural areas. Everyday children would come up to us and practice their English. They were so polite and respectful
    1400
  165. My son is a 6'8" American of European descent and when he went to Japan he was like a child magnet in the streets. They crowded around to get their photos taken with him!
    1400
  166. I loved the relief in Tommy's parent's faces when they saw she put some effort into learning Japanese, and seeing that they learned some English was really heartwarming. It looked like such fun, I love it 😭😭
    1400
  167. In I believe 1993 when I was about 20 years old I was walking through the parking lot at Tokyo Disneyland. I noticed far off in the distance a few girls coming towards me but they were pretty far away. As the gap closed I could tell they were probably high school age or possibly college age and they seemed oddly focused on me for some reason. As the distance began to close even more between us I kind of naturally and subconsciously shifted my path to avoid a head on collision between us but I noticed as I moved left or right they moved with me. After doing this for several minutes across the very long parking lot they were finally coming very close and I could see by the look on their faces that they were simply amazed to be seeing me up close. Why exactly I had no idea. I mean I was a fairly handsome 20 year old, sure, but it was Tokyo Disneyland not the middle of Saga Prefecture or something like that. Anyway as they apparently had a tractor beam locked on me we finally ended up literally face to face and so feeling a little awkward by the situation I said, "hello" in English and they literally started jumping up and down screaming like I was Tom Cruise or something. It's the only brief moment in my life that I experienced ever so slightly what it might feel like to be famous. lol PS. You ladies were rocking those bikinis. Yes, I'm old now but I'm not dead. :)
    1400
  168. This is so sweet!!! So happy for you xoxoxoxo
    1400
  169. We have a similar situation in my own extended family. My elder son fell in love with a beautiful Korean lady and was initially timid about going to meet her very conservative/traditional parents in Koreatown, Los Angeles. This is where the language connection comes in -- my son studied Japanese as his foreign language in high school, and her father spoke 5 languages, including Japanese. My son and his future father-in-law struck up a conversation in Japanese, and when my future daughter-in-law left the house at the end of the evening, her father confided to her, "I like him." My wife and I are now blessed with two delightful little grandsons, age 4 and 6. Life is good.
    1400
  170. Your ability to walk up and interact with strangers is well beyond my capabilities at the moment. You inspire me to be more sociable
    1400
  171. Omg. “He’s a Frenchman. And we are drinking sangrias... at a German festival... in Japan.” 🤣 I TOTALLY had a moment like that once! I won a competition for foreigners singing in Japanese in Japan at a Chinese festival once. 😂 Every time I explained it to people I sounded like that hahaha.
    1400
  172. That taxi driver was so sweet. He just really wanted you to enjoy the place no matter what.
    1300
  173. Learning Japanese to your level and living there... goals 🥰🇯🇵
    1300
  174. Alyssa, thank you so much for everything you do for the homeless in Japan. Your video was awesome this time too! I'm really grateful that you let me share my story. Your help and kindness mean a lot to us. Arigatogozaimasu🙏🙌
    1300
  175. When you realize the average 5 year old has a vocabulary of 10,000 words in their native language, you realize how little you know and how far you have to go.
    1300
  176. Most of the faces are probably a reflection of "If she knows that many of MY languages, what have I been doing with my life?!?" Simply brilliant, I wish I was fluent in at least ONE of those languages...
    1300
  177. Alyissa….. I owe you an apology…… I commented a while back on the first video you made with Nomad…. You were interviewing him on the topic of his homelessness…. After watching I began to think you were doing this for content….. I believe I said that in my comment… I now see how wrong I was…. What you really did is use your influence to help someone out…… Nomad has hit 100K now and I’m sure the exposure you gave him was a huge part in getting there….Thank you for proving me wrong……. I sincerely apologize….. Us Michiganders gotta stick together…… Take care…..☮️

  178. 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.
    1300
  179. Hello everyone. First of all I want to thank Anming, It was awesome to join her video project. I also want to tell everyone that you are more than welcome to ciriticize me. I always try to improve the languages and videos where I make grammar and pronunciation mistakes are part of the process. I also want to wish everyone the best, keep learning and never give up! Cheers
    1300
  180. She's more sociable than me having the ability to breathe without anxiety around people
    1300
  181. I remember when I traveled to Japan as part of a special credit system for a month and we visited a children’s elementary school and I got up in front of the class and introduced myself in Japanese, and they asked me about my favorite movie (I said it was The Lion King) and the teacher gave me a ball game - the one with the wooden post with multiple sides that are shaped to hold a ball, which is attached by a string, and the goal is to flip the ball up by force and land it on top without it falling off. I flipped it over [it was my first time playing with this toy] and it landed perfectly on top, and the entire class was a singular chorus of “OOOOOOHHHHH”. They asked me if I’d ever done that before and I said no, and they were amazed, lol. Then as I was leaving a group of kids ran out and asked me if I was coming back. They are such adorable beings.)
    1300
  182. She reminds me of Rachel from Rachel and Jun’s adventures
    1300
  183. “700,000 Chinese people living in japan, that means 700,000 opportunities to make a friend!” I love that positivity 😭💖 that type of attitude is so lovely ✨
    1200
  184. "I know a little Japanese" continues to speak paragraphs of collegiate graduate level Japanese to a native speaker
    1200
  185. This girl is a class act. Very kind, cheerful and skilled with languages. 10/10 vid.
    1200
  186. My mother was in hospital in Kunming China for heart surgery. The nurses were examining her as she came awake after surgery. My mother had her belly button/navel removed in surgery decades earlier. The nurses thought as a westerner she did not speak good Mandarin. So they gossiped. They said "Look at that Canadian. She has no belly button. I guess all Canadians have no belly button."
    1200
  187. repeating "your japanese is also good" back to them is such a POWER MOVE! 🤣🤣😂
    1200
  188. I lived in Japan for 22 years. Within a given week I would always be asked, (in Japanese) Where are you from? How long have you been in Japan? And when are you going back to your country? Do you like living in Japan? I got tired of answering the same questions. I was always polite and friendly... but it did make me feel, that no matter how long I lived there, I would always be seen as a foriegner that had just arrived in Japan and was just visiting for a short time and would go back to my country in the near future. And the looks I got from arguing with my children in Japanese in the street. My kids look more Japanese than foriegn and can you imagine me a grown man dragging a crying two year old down the street - with them screaming at me in Japanese. Someone must of thought I was kidnapping a child LOL.
    1200
  189. lol they casually ask "do you like Japan because of anime?" , id probably get embarrassed if I heard that and say "....yeah…"
    1200
  190. Wow, there are people who just walk around in BDSM fetish gear at train stations, while I spend my time second guessing what colour shirt I should wear. 😂
    1200
  191. Those young rickshaw pullers certainly work hard for their money, and such friendly chap! I have never taken a ride with them when I was in Japan as I noticed they always approach woman, or a dating couple.
    1200
  192. ''foreigner living in japan'' half of the video: speaking chinese and about cakes nice
    1200
  193. That lady looks like an assassin what is she clutching in her shirt?!?
    1200
  194. So this also explains why the Japanese are so disciplined and orderly. It's been instilled in them since childhood. It's a good and bad thing at the same time.
    1200
  195. Her: "i just started being a youtuber this february" Also her : has 111k Subscribers
    1100
  196. 1:39 such a confusing moment, she speak Chinese in Japan while holding Korean ramen and Taiwanese cookie
    1100
  197. It's pretty wild how some people just have no idea about how potentially dangerous this place could be, if you're not really street savvy. Being a New Yorker, this doesn't look nearly as bad as to what it COULD really be, but I think the appeal of the affordability and easy access to tourist attractions is what's bringing foreigners to the area. I hope Japan will see this as an opportunity to assist these people instead of ignoring them.
    1100
  198. I appreciate the effort you put into this video
    1100
  199. Her and her brothers mannerisms are very culturally Japanese. She did seem so much more comfortable speaking Japanese ❤ What an interesting video 😊
    1100
  200. Great video. Poor Tommy. It's always his wife getting hugged by other people lol
    1100
  201. Even the homeless in Japan can still maintain their personal dignity. Wonderful people.
    1100
  202. all her videos is full of positive vibes
    1100
  203. Worse than that are videos like "I learned italian in 7 days". Bruh, not even a native could do this, how did you do that?
    1100
  204. and better dressed.
    1100
  205. so no one is going to talk about the guy said he ran through the entire route 66?
    1100
  206. If a little girl from halfway around the world gave me a hug as a total stranger, it would make my entire month. So adorable.
    1100
  207. How sweet that you say "my dear"
    1000
  208. The problem I found in Japan: Unless you speak PERFECT Japanese they are somewhat put off. FIRST they are in shock that you can speak ANY Japanese. THEN they think you might be a dummy unless you can speak it with no mistakes.
    1000
  209. OOh they're Beyblading ^^
    1000
  210. The lady who got you to go in the restaurant is a really good sales person. Haha.
    1000
  211. I speak 700 languages and learn them all in 700 days take that haters troll grin hola bonjour namaste nihao . I just killed the language game
    1000
  212. Thank you very much young lady for representing Americans & America in a positive light!
    1000
  213. Her hair lord 🤦🏿‍♀️ your friend has a beautiful afro 😍 such a vibe such a mood.
    1000
  214. Everybody suddenly forgets directions when a stranger asks.
    1000
  215. Learning a new language would be fun but the problem for me is that, I'll have a hard time learning it. I'm not a fast learner. I've always wanted to learn Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Those 3 countries are my favorite destinations I wish visit one day. :)
    1000
  216. Everyone is gangsta until she starts speaking Chinese.
    1000
  217. I must admit i'm totally jealous of your fabulous language skills. I love that you are so kind and respectful to everyone. You are a great ambassador for America. Keep the videos coming.
    1000
  218. I want to mention that when Japanese ask「何で日本に来たの？」”Why did you come to Japan?” , they want to say “What brought you to Japan?”. It may sound offensive if you directly translated into English but they’re not trying to be rude.
    1000
  219. when they talked in chinese then casually proceed to talk in japanese got me 👁👄👁
    1000
  220. That guy just fell in love with you when you spoke his language 😂
    1000
  221. The carriage guy was really cool
    1000
  222. weirdly the most interesting thing to me is how her New Zealand accent is almost completely gone, she speaks almost entirely with American English pronunciation apart from the word “saw”. I guess being in Japan for so long, the only English she would be regularly exposed to is American.
    1000
  223. As a person that works with high schoolers in the US (specifically NY) it's so cool to see similarities in behaviors and wittiness around the world in other cultures. The rapport with kids is so important and you could tell there was good bond between the adults and the kids. I loved this video!
    982
  224. LOL at Asian Karen stalking you. That's definitely next level cringe.
    977
  225. America is crying for Tommy are the best words to describe everything. I'm overjoyed he got to experience all of this especially with all of your family. It warms my heart and Tommy's stomach ❤
    973
  226. 😂 My matrix glitched when I saw you eating and chatting with Kevin Woo. Small world. 😂
    968
  227. That old lady is the exact opposite of what japan is looking for in a citizen 😂😂 I love her
    967
  228. I love how something so basic as a common language brings people together so easily. I'm trying to learn some Korean but I seriously need to stick to a schedule lol
    966
  229. Ok that first guy was so cute and adorable, he was so happy, you all made his day and so many others smile. this was awesome to watch : )
    962
  230. Japanese people are like a double edged sword. On one hand they won't usually approach you and might even try avoid you. However, on the other side if you approach for a conversation or for advice/help let's say directions. Then they're very friendly and willing to help and you might even end up having a lengthy conversation. Helped me big time while I was living in Japan :P
    958
  231. The guy who was listening to their conversation looked cute imo
    945
  232. i love that laughter is a universal language. I’m just learning Japanese so I heavily rely on the subtitles but hearing people laugh is something that anyone can enjoy and relate to
    944
  233. I love how happy everyone is to hear you speak their language. The best part is you know they went home and told everyone about this blonde lady who spoke so fluently. You gave them all a great story!
    940
  234. Can’t wait til I’m at this level of understanding and speaking languages, it must be so fun chatting with others
    939
  235. Kids. Are. SAVAGE. My favorite was a student of mine around 6 years old who pointed to a drawing of a queen with curly hair and her say “ew, she has weird hair like sensei ” 😅😅😅
    933
  236. I doubt anyone actually believes they are polyglots. Wouter Corduwener usually knows how to say Hi and that he learned the language on his own. Tries to take over the conversation and say his "lines". When he tried to speak Romanian in an amusement park with some employees, he didn't understand anything the girls were saying and it was obvious he only knew a few sentences. I don't blame him, Romanian is hard to learn, because of the slavic+latin grammar combo that would mess up your logic. He is the only one I watched and I've never heard of Matt (will check him out). I'm Romanian, btw, that's why I gave my opinion on his Romanian skills only, but I believe it's the same with most of those 20+ languages.
    932
  237. I hope you had one of the best Christmas :) Really happy for your channel's exponential growth :)
    922
  238. This girl be laughing at everything its cute and unsettling at the same time 🤗
    920
  239. Thank you for showing us it IS possible for native English speakers to get a grasp on Asian languages.
    919
  240. He should tell the Japanese he's an American Sumo wrestler... They may view him differently.
    918
  241. This warmed my heart so much, I actually had tears haha. I met a Japanese girl on a language learning app and I was focusing to learn Chinese, but when she came into my inbox, she said she came on because she was lonely, so to cheer her up I was googling Japanese and speaking for her. They are so kind, I hope nobody feels lonely. Thank you Oriental Pearl. Everyone I have spoken to on the app, I always say your channel as motivation.
    918
  242. All of these people had mini heart attacks when she spoke English 😂
    913
  243. Her: "If you're wearing clothes that are different then you're not shy." Me: OH HOHO CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!
    909
  244. My own limited experience with Japanese, in Japan, was that whenever I showed interest in their culture, history, or manners, they very enthusiastically welcomed me and helped me to better understand. I was never accused of being disrespectful. Quite the opposite. Thank you, Anming, for dealing with the question in such a graceful way. . . as usual^^
    906
  245. He needs a shirt that says: "I look like a foreigner but I am Japanese" writen in both languages Japanese and English. I have a Mexican friend living in America who did this but he wrote in his shirt: "I look illegal but I am not" 😅🤣 and it works, people giggled and stopped judging or asking him things.
    903
  246. For Anming's archery, the safest place to stand is in front of the target.

  247. My wife is Korean and when I met her dad he was mind blown just because I use the proper formal version of the few words I spoke instead of informal… it’s amazing how the appreciate even the slightest amount of effort in your trying their language it saddens me that here in America so man people will hate on bilingual people here just for speaking their first language with family or friends when all I do is envy them for knowing two languages well
    903
  248. It’s fascinating how our voices change based on the language we speak.
    901
  249. I only recently found your channel, but I am so glad that I did. Your positivity and joy is much welcome and such a great thing to be able to sit back and watch. Those that hurl such nasty comments know nothing about building, only about tearing down. It's easier to break what others have built than create something wonderful to add to the world, which is what you and people like Lisa do. You build and create. Never stop.

  250. I love what you said about learning some of the language helps to break the ice. We English speakers are used to people learning our language, so it doesn't surprise or impress us as much, even though it SHOULD. I think most people feel more warmly towards someone who has taken the time to learn language and customs of the places they visit. It shows respect.
    887
  251. When she said: "English doesn't count" my bilingual pride were torn 🤣🤣🤣. I guess I have to learn a third language so I can become a real bilingual person 😢

  252. 0:16 Mans going to a fetish party wasn't prepared to be questioned about his life choices by some blonde American. 😆
    876
  253. I fully agree with the thing about foreigners who come to Japan and don't interact with Japanese are dissapointing
    871
  254. You've absolutely made that high school student's day. I really appreciate your kind and thoughtful gesture. You even insisted he would take a picture with you knowing he was too shy to accept it in the beginning. Thank you so much!
    868
  255. She is beautiful. Im biracial black/white and my wife is Korean. We have two teens who have a wonderful mix of all three. I wish her the best

  256. 0:54 Hi!! I’m the guy at this time!! Thank you for interviewing! It was a very good time at Christmas 😆 Hope your channel will be more greater and bigger💪💪💪 Let’s go Japan （立ち上がれ日本🇯🇵）
    863
  257. I LOVE THESE LANGUAGES BUT THEY'RE HARD TO LEARN! 😢

  261. Pearl, I’m Catholic too and that was cool to see a part of Mass sung in Japanese. Your in-laws are really rolling out the red carpet for you. Thanks for sharing. ⛪️🍣🍱
    851
  262. I think speaking a lot of languages at a basic level for the sake of making anyone that you run into feel human (especially in the and UK where there are a lot of immigrants but mostly english speaking white people) has a lot of value. I speak several languages kind of poorly, but I find that people really enjoy being able to communicate in their own tongue even if you don't speak fluently. So where I would not qualify as a true polyglot, I think being able to communicate with anyone is a valuable skill as well.
    849
  263. "Its all about perspective" - You can choose to feel complimented or you can choose to feel insulted. Exactly! Go, Marintia. You've got a beautiful life ahead of you. 😊

  265. I spent 22 years in Japan. I also taught myself Japanese - just from an English to Japanese dictionary and then I used some text books. I was working full time for banks. Also many Japanese didn't understand the Australian accent, so I purposefully changed my English accent to sound more American. After a while of speaking mainly Japanese at home and with my family - I started to forget English words, but I could remember the Japanese word for that same thing.
    833
  266. This format of jumping back and forth between the interview and regular day trip works really well. 👍🏼 P.S. I love Katie's voice.
    828
  267. I studied Chinese at Fudan University 1989 to 1990. Later I taught English at universities in China for 16 years.
    828
  268. Ah, isn’t globalism a beautiful thing? Now even an American can speak Japanese.
    824
  269. Despite its ancient Irish roots, Halloween is considered an American holiday by much of the world. It's nice to see Japan embracing the Halloween tradition, and having fun with it.
    820
  270. There's also a difference between fluency and proficiency. "Fluency" usually refers to how automatically you are able to produce language, relatively free of internal translation or native language interference. In this sense, a toddler is "fluent". "Proficiency" refers to a depth of knowledge (that high-level vocabulary, for instance) and nimbleness with the language--responding to native speakers, noticing and correcting one's own mistakes, mastering intonation, etc. You can speak a bunch of stuff fluently and not have anywhere near native-level proficiency (I have an MA in applied linguistics, btw).
    817
  271. I love how everyone seems to be getting along even when they’re complete strangers. It’s like one big party!
    813
  272. I love her boldness! I'm always inspired to leave my comfort zone! I hate being so shy.

  275. Oh man, visiting the in-laws takes lots of care even in a shared native language. It seems like it went great! Your Japanese sounds more and more natural as the years go by, and I think his parents must be very happy to speak with you in Japanese. It's really cool of them to go to church for you! They seem really nice. Future FIL has such classic adorable Japanese Dad vibes
    799
  276. I said one sentance in japanese at a japanese restaurant today in Australia and they all were shocked
    799
  277. When you can speak another language, you open a door to another world.
    798
  278. There are 3 Japanese language school Near my house in Tokyo. This is so accurate. Most of the students pass level 1 JPlT in 2 years or less. However, I haven’t met any students who could hold a conversation or understand basic conversation. They pass the test and get the certificate, but it really lacks meaning. Go to the county side and learn Japanese far from Tokyo.
    794
  279. Well that escalated quickly hahaha
    792
  280. Daammm, Pearl! This is the best type of content on your channel. You have been places and done things that very few have accomplished. Thank you for sharing this piece of your life.
    791
  281. My American mom had to learn a lot of things and take Japanese cooking classes before she married my Japanese dad. She knows how stressful in can be to meet Japanese in laws. Glad it went well for your mom.
    785
  282. "Why tape it?" Well it’s motivational for people learning the language. If i see another German speaking fluent Japanese, it shows that it’s possible and that it’s worth pursuing. I also think that it’s ok to flex sometimes. Learning a langue to fluency is hard work, so why shouldn’t you be allowed to demonstrate your skills? You wouldn't tell a musician to not play for an audience and only keep it to himself either right? But then there certainly are youtubers who make cringy "White guy speaks fluent %$§& and SHOCKS locals"-type videos. They often seem to only learn some basic phrases or like a script for the specific situation they're trying to make a video of. This creates a false image and no one needs that.
    785
  283. Who saw this in recommended
    781
  284. I could literally listen to that guy singing for hours what a beautiful sounding song 🥺
    780
  285. is it just me who can't stop grinning while watching? It's so cute, their reactions and you handle those situations so well
    776
  286. I get this reaction when I speak Lithuanian to their locals. It’s so amazing that you can separate the languages and remember them.
    772
  287. She proves that humanity exists, she said says things happily which make them feel awkward and talk to us friendly too. You deserve a subscribe, Good luck.
    766
  288. I'm Brazilian, every time some polyglot speaks in Portuguese we understand because in our culture there is a huge ability to deduce things, even speaking wrong we will know what you want to speak, people speak Spanish we understand what they want to say even don't knowing Spanish, if you speak in a broke Portuguese missing The conjugation and words we will say "you spoke well" because we are happy only to have someone speak our language and we support the person in learning
    763
  289. I took 2 years of Spanish in High School and 2 semesters in college. I finally was able to test my proficiency in Spain and i was able to hold basic conversations and translate for my friends at a restaurant, but I realized how inadequate my learning experience was. Learning a language requires a lot of time, practice, devotion, and certainly a certain degree of immersion in the culture. These 30-min exercises are maybe enough for you to get by on a weekend trip, but certainly not for fluency.
    763
  290. Just FYI The law in Japan states that you will make an active effort to choose 1 nationality after 22 years old, however, there is no set penalty if you do not. You can just claim that you are "making an effort" to choose. I am 29 and have both US and Japanese citizenships (and passports) without a problem. Airport customs don't care (they may be confused how to deal with your ticket tho) and for the most part, you can openly tell them you have another passport. I renewed my passport for 10 years right before I turned 22 (no issue) but a few of my other dual citizen friends have renewed both passports after 22 and also just openly stated they have dual. The only downside to having dual citizenship is that you would have to file taxes, etc for both countries. As long as you are not using your other citizenship to evade taxes, the govt has no real motivation to pursue your decision. Unless you are like Naomi Osaka, or some other celebrity whom is (was) publicly known to have dual citizenship.
    763
  291. Congratulations on 1 million subs 🎉
    762
  292. Oh the jealously of small minded people. Let it go and laugh at their ignorance! You have an awesome channel.
    760
  293. I never realized that I'm a polyglot 🤔 I can speak Dutch, Turkish, English and Japanese. I can't speak German fluently but it's similar to Dutch so I can understand some German.
    759
  294. He said 'some Japanese features', his face is mostly Japanese-looking imo. I hope he can feel more comfy in Japan, his country, and i hope Japanese people can be more exposed to and speak with non-Japanese people, and accept them. And from what i see in your videos, obviously you are really helping with that as much as you can, which is awesome.
    757
  295. As the old man was saying, he's more concerned about his health and well-being. It is certainly harder for some people to lose weight than others, and just like smokers, some obese people live long and healthy lives, but the odds are against it. Obesity is also on the rise in Japan. Not judging him, and he seems like a great guy, but If he can, he should try to lose weight for the sake of his health.
    750
  296. In defence of non-fluency: I just want to greet my girlfriend's parents in Japanese, I would like to be involved with my French coworkers' conversations, I want to understand the Latin phrases we use in English. For none of these things is fluency relevant.
    748
  297. So whenever a society says we have no (insert thing here) it is instantly a red flag of people being disingenuous. Truthfully it’s gaslighting because people know there are homeless people. When your first guest said he got depressed and sort of gave up, I really do get it. My friends from Japan have told me there really isn’t mental health services at the same level as in the west (not that we do an amazing job) and it’s looked down upon to get help. I have had friends confronting problems and when I’ve sometimes repeated things I learned in therapy over the years, it was shocking. Like being told you don’t owe people things and it is okay to cut people out of your life if they are toxic. That there are things that might be “selfish” but in a good way.
    742
  298. You are repairing the bad juju that Asians have with Americans just by speaking THEIR languages and putting yourself out there the way you do! You’re an excellent ambassador because you’re so friendly and you look like Barbie! Thank you!
    739
  299. Alyssa-san, thank you so much for having me. I really want everyone to know how hard Alyssa-san worked on this video, I saw it firsthand. Massive respect. Legend!
    736
  300. I have seen a chinese person speak my language which is afrikaans. I was blown away by it. I appreciated it.
    730
  301. Person: "Hi, I'm a polyglot. I speak 10 languages!" That same person: Only speaks one language fluently, has basic conversational skill in one, and knows how to say "hi, how are you" and "thank you" in 8 languages and "read" badly Google translated phrases.
    729
  302. All these "Polyglots" who know so many ways to say "hello", "how are you", "I'm fine", "thank you", and "I know a little ____"
    726
  303. when i was in japan i only spoke very minimal japanese but i remember one girl coming up to me at the mall to try and give me a napkin thing for a company and speaking rough english and i said that i was ok, but thanks in japanese and she lit up like a puppy, i felt really bad after she excitedly asked me if i spoke japanese and i had to tell her not really. So next time i go, i plan to be much better at it
    723
  304. My favorite interaction with a kid in Japan was during a trip with some friends. We were talking to the 10-year-old daughter of the owner of the inn we were staying at. One of my friends, who is Slovenian, was pretending he was Japanese. The girl, of course, wasn't buying it. When he asked her why she thought he wasn't Japanese, she said, "because your nose is too big." That was apparently a bigger clue than his skin, or his hair, or anything else. 😂
    723
  305. Omg, his family are literally learning english for you and your family, my god, that's so beautiful.
    722
  306. That first rickshaw guy was FINE. Like damn. He should be modeling. Or maybe that's how he keeps in shape for his modeling gig?
    722
  307. Kindness flows like water while hatred spreads like fire, let's keep our kindness flowing as it will eventually extinguish the hate fire.

  308. when she grabbed her arm at 1:28 I almost died!
    714
  309. When that man told you to please live in Japan forever, my heart melted. So welcoming.
    708
  310. I've been poking away very slowly at Japanese for a few years and always love the reactions people give when you surprise them. I work at a cancer centre in Canada and my Japanese patients always say how happpy and at ease it makes them feel to hear someone speak Japanese with them when they're here for a stressful appointment. Always inspires me to keep working at it more! Thanks for the great videos, がんばってね！
    706
  311. It’s such a foreign concept to me. I was raised in the military and now live in a huge city with a lot of ethnicities so I wouldn’t think twice if I met these folks. It’s got to be super tough for them. Educating people with your videos is great. I’m enjoying this.
    701
  312. You look like Annie Leonheart from Attack on Titan❤
    699
  313. The best "foreigner who speaks Chinese" channel there is, by a long shot
    691
  314. Later on back in Shanghai: "So you all got back from Burma...did you take any pictures?" "Yes...here are some pictures of the trees, the river, and a blonde white girl" lol
    688
  315. My favourite part about the two boys (the one with the blue jacket and the longish blonde hair) was the blonde one said “ask him what he wants to buy” and you responded with what you wanted to buy in English, in spite of them not having translated it for you- should have been the biggest giveaway 😂
    688
  316. I once had to translate English to English. My friend was from Texas and the tourist couple were from England. Texan said "So wur yall frum" lol.
    688
  317. I like hamburgers and freedom 😂😂 that is so American
    683
  318. I really love those street videos! They are the only videos that appeal to masses and encourage people to interact with foreigners without shame.
    680
  319. Technically, those "polyglots" do speak many languages....at a beginner level. No, you are not gonna learn Spanish in 6 months. No, you didn't learn Portuguese in 7 days.
    677
  320. She literally looks like a cool anime character.
    676
  321. Thank you for featuring this story! Only you bring this kind of content about Japan. I love that you are brave enough to feature the good, the bad, and the ugly.
    675
  322. Absolutely loved your place. Thank you for inviting me and for the mention about me and my situation 🙏🙏🙏 Truly appreciate you Alyssa and your community ❤️👍🌟
    674
  323. As a Japanese, I think it's a very realistic and fun video. Nishinari is the largest slum in western Japan, and many Japanese do not bother to visit. But it's not because it's dangerous, it's just not necessary. It's not even a hidden town. It is difficult to narrow the gap between rich and poor, but improvement is progressing.
    674
  324. Girl: *speaks perfect Chinese and Japanese* The people: *shocked happiness noises*
    671
  325. Unfortunately most English speaking tourists put absolutely zero effort in this stuff. So much respect to whoever can travel to a foreign country and speak their language with the locals.
    667
  326. It was the “whyyyyy” that had me in tears when he discovered you were enrolled in cram school in Japan 😭😂
    660
  327. You make friends with people so easily, really admire you, not everyone is able to do it. Cheers
    659
  328. We need a Tommy acoss America series! Loved seeing his reactions, lol
    657
  329. Even more respect for Lisa because she pursued a profession that showed others her disability is not a hindrance.
    653
  330. daaaamn she's considered a bad mom for having a hobby? her kids seemed just fine to me
    650
  331. I've recently been obsessed with laoshu50500 & xiaomanyc videos, then you popped up, now I have a 3rd YouTuber, yay! Subscribed 🎉
    645
  332. Love the positive aspect of this and the speaking several languages didn't come off as a "flex" like some other videos. Awesome video!
    644
  333. thank GOD for this video. these “polyglots” got me feeling real insecure for struggling at a language for 6 years and still feeling like i suck
    642
  334. You really got me on the "approaching a good-looking Man" part🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    639
  335. Many foreigners and Japanese locals are surprised/impressed with your four language speaking, Miss Alyssa, which feels comfortable to be part of the community.

  337. Thank you for telling part of their stories. The only way to work on these problems is to talk about them
    635
  338. I’m watching this at my friends house who learned Japanese years ago… I had no idea he knew Japanese and he was writing stuff down and he just laughed and went ‘yeah America’s pretty messed up’. And I looked up at him and was like ‘wa… how… what?’…. Umm so he’s gonna teach me Japanese now 😬 guess you learn something new everyday…
    632
  339. You talking to those people on the train is like a chess grandmaster playing multiple games at once! :D
    632
  340. Awww everybody was so nice😭 the "hello!" from across the road was hilarious😆
    627
  341. Don’t be embarrassed to ride alone.. that always bothered me when I heard my friends say “oh I could never go to the movie theatre alone”... but why ? I enjoy being by myself, I love myself and honestly enjoy life enough to want to experience everything, especially on my own. There’s this peaceful but enlightening feeling being able to be one with yourself and your thoughts. I enjoy being in my own head, getting my thoughts and creativity out.
    626
  342. Absolutely wonderful to see people having fun and spreading peace and love with a simple walk through town. Wish you both and all who find the way here a Merry Christmas.
    625
  343. Happy New Year and congrats on getting engaged! Such a touching video! Reminds me of my time with my host family in Japan. 😊
    624
  344. I have little sisters growing up like Katie in Japan. I'm going to share this video with them so they can see someone who looks like them in hopes that it will inspire them. That guide was great 👍.
    623
  345. 4 million views in 6 days? I don't think you need that job anymore.
    621
  346. There is definitely a language barrier there, when I was there I learned the basics, I didn't get in depth in the language as you did BUT if I would ask a question they would try there best to give me an answer and a lot of times that would break the ice and somehow we could communicate. The Japanese were so helpful and friendly, I remember I got on the wrong train in Tokyo and ended up in the country somewhere and I asked a lady on the train "how do I get too Yokohama?" We got off of the train, we both went back to Tokyo and she physically showed me the line too Yokohama. It was probably after a very long work day for her too! I was very grateful bowing and saying thank you over and over, domo arigato gozaimasu... Amazing!!
    619
  347. This is the weirdest shit ever. Like any time I watch someone speaking another language outside of their own culture I'm mesmerized because it shows the light of a what could be a fun encounter with someone and see some out of the box results. Screw these haters
    617
  348. I'm sooo jealous that you speak Chinese, Japanese and English but I only speak Greek and English
    616
  349. The little girl saying “Don’t eat it!” was hilarious and adorable
    615
  350. I don't think enough people realize that there is great pride to be found in acknowledging that you are still learning and practicing. Rather than needing to look like the smartest and trendiest polyglot (who can't speak beyond the first chapter of a Rick Steve's pocket phrasebook), there's a lot of merit to be found in foregoing the show-off video and, instead, uploading your real-life practice sessions. I would love to find more channels with "Mandarin Speaking Practice, Day 39" or "Japanese Shadowing Practice, Week 12" because it's a far more realistic guide to what someone can expect to achieve in that same amount of time. These weird exhibitions of people rapidly cycling through 14 different languages in one video feels like the linguistic equivalent of trying to be the prettiest and richest girl on the first day of school :')

    611
  353. You're so polite to every one and I love how you turn around any kind of awkward situations(:
    611
  354. Wow so interesting. I feel so bad for the elderly in Japan. It breaks my heart. They are so humble and grateful for what they have. That man was so kind to let you into his home.
    607
  355. a friend of my dad’s was on a flight to Japan, and these two Japanese men fought over who would have to sit next to him. One lost and his friend laughed saying “haha you have to sit next to the fat American man”. my dad’s friend was pretty upset, and these Japanese men obviously thought he couldnt understand them. then when an air hostess came round with food, he ordered in perfect Japanese, and the rude man next to him just sunk into his seat and was silent for the rest of the flight. apparently it was reallyyyy awkward

  357. That is exactly how my American born and raised niece met her eventual husband in Spain. She was there teaching English to elementary school children and wanted to practice her Spanish with someone who wanted to practice their English skills. They met up in a cafe and the rest is history. It has been 4 years since they met and they now have an adorable 6 month old son.

  358. As a person living with a disability, I just want to point this out: there’s no such thing as “overcoming” a disability. You simply do your best to live with it.
    604
  359. I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! Y’all are so inspiring as I learn Japanese myself!!
    604
  360. It looks like his parents were very inviting and you all seem to have a great time. It has to be a huge help that there isn't a language barrier and your fiance isn't having to interpret everything for you. You can form your own relationship with your future in-laws, which is amazing. Also as a fellow Catholic it was beautiful to see that even in Tokyo I would be able to follow the Mass without knowing Japanese. Great Video!
    600
  361. You’re not doing street magic but the people are just as stunned! :D
    599
  362. Hello. I was the one that awkwardly waved to you. I only knew your channel but I didn't know your name so I didn't know what to say after the wave. hehehe. Anyways, good capture of that day. I was in the middle of doing a photo shoot.
    597
  363. This is the kind of video that makes your channel stand out from the other language/polygot speakers. A lot of them are about shock value etc but this is a lot more organic, it's like an example of using the language skills you have learned in a proper setting.

    592
  366. I've seen a lot of shocked reactions when I spoke Chinese but my favorite moment was in the airport in Moscow for transfer to Beijing.I didn't know how to get to the gate for Beijing flight, so I just asked 2 Chinese girls in their language if they were going to Beijing too, and then there were like 10 other Chinese people who suddenly gathered around me to talk to me.
    587
  367. As a New Zealander I find that typically we only get upset when people dont want to be part of our culture when they move here. We celebrate people wanting to be part of our country and get a little grumpy if someone wants to live here and not be part of it. I would be surprised if that wasnt the case for most countries. Not investing time and energy in being involved with the local customs, dress, food and activities of a country you are living in sounds rude to me.
    585
  368. I love how polite you are to the locals, and I love their response when you speak their language. Just fun
    585
  369. I think these people calling relating this to “colonialism” and saying it’s cringe are ridiculously ignorant and attention-seeking. I think it’s a beautiful thing to spread positivity and conversation with strangers. If anything, I think it lets people who aren’t exposed to cultures they can’t communicate with form understanding and empathy toward what is unfamiliar. I love your videos Anming

  370. Your mom shocked me with her Japanese! 😆 I guess her lessons are paying off.

    578
  374. i can’t imagine what you are having to go through with this whole pandemic. it’s really a shame. but you are staying so positive and that really sets an example to everyone else! thank you!
    577
  375. I am a senior citizen living in Scotland. I have been following other youtubers doing videos of and about Japan, but none have been to the areas you have. As has been said by yourself, most are unaware of the "other side of Japan", thank you for enlightening us. Excellent coverage.
    576
  376. I admire your courage in life. The fact that you went to china and then japan is amazing. Also opening up a youtube channel to show your experience and humor. I hope more people were like you. Thank you. I mean it.
    574
  377. This is heartbreaking. He literally has a Japanese accent when he speaks English. I hate that so many people don't understand the concept of nationality vs. ethnicity.
    572
  378. A wise man once said, "speak to someone in their language and you speak to their heart"
    571
  379. That little girl was so adorable, she even knew some English at such a young age. That's very impressive and the fact that your interaction happened near Fuji-san was a stroke of luck. I also admired the pinwheels made from paper, I wonder if that's considered origami? 🤔
    567
  380. Darn, you're hilarious!! That was an impressive conversation, going between Chinese and Japanese back and forth. It was like a sparring session! Dodging compliments right and left. I'm hooked, man. I'm hooked! You're such a natural conversationalist. I'm really enjoying your channel. Thank you so much!
    565
  381. I’m actually trying to learn Japanese though it’s hard knowing I’ve just become a freshman in high school! I plan to be fluent and visit Japan often! This really inspires me, thank you ❤️
    564
  382. The more I think about this topic, the more I see parallels with virtually any discussion on Twitter or in the media. People who upload videos are an easy target, and make for a kind of virtual playground for anyone to be vocal about their own pet peeves, insecurities, or feelings about the world, politics, or society. It’s almost like a microcosm of the entire world seen through the prism of languages. Languages are also something people get very personally attached to. We all have our identities wrapped up in languages and language learning. So when it comes to YouTube, it only takes a YouTuber to diverge very slightly from someone’s own views, to suddenly have a whole litany of commentary or accusations to make about them. When I see the comments here, there are generally far more positive and inspired comments than anything else, and I think we get distracted by a vocal minority who usually seem to be more interested in virtue signalling than anything else. In the end, like the rest of life, I don’t think there’s any resolution to this. People are different, YouTube is weird, c’est la vie! Nice video!

  383. First time I went to Seoul, Korea I had a big bushy beard. Checked into a low / mid price hotel there were a male & female receptionists. Both fascinated by my beard (sort of a golden / ginger colour). Both wanted to touch, feel it, I let them, clearly it was something new, strange & different. They giggled like school children.
    562
  384. I’m currently studying Japanese and I just realized how much progress I’ve made since I first began. I was able to understand most of the Japanese conversations in this video!
    560
  385. The ladies in the store loved you. I'm sure you made their day. You are very honest and open. Not reserved at all so it takes them by surprise. They start to react to you like a daughter in a caring way. I enjoy each one of your videos. It shows life from many angles. The best are when you are with females. They really take to you when you speak their language. Even when they have a mask on I can tell by their eyes they are smiling at you.
    560
  386. And I can't even start a conversation in my native language
    559
  387. Please more japanese speaking vids. For those of us that are ONLY learning japanese it helps us a whole lot. Thnx
    558
  388. My first time in Kyoto, I was standing next to a group of school kids and a few of them shouted "Hello" at me and asked where I was from. It was obvious how cool they felt, speaking to a foreigner in English.
    557
  389. "Are the ducks real?" must be the best icebreaker ever!
    551
  390. I would love to see more of her dancing and choreography! I especially liked the juxtaposition of traditional Kimono and contemporary dance, really cool.
    548
  391. When did learning different languages and immersing yourself in different cultures become a bad thing? That's broadening your horizons. Not to be so narrow minded and open and understanding with more than yourself and where your from. This world is full of beauty.
    548
  392. The homeless and the poor do indeed exist in Japan. But they are hidden from the eyes of society. It's important to show the dark side of Japanese society. If we are really interested in Japan we must also know its excesses and its social problems. Thank you for sharing and please keep on your investigation.
    544
  393. I feel like getting mad about people wanting to learn about cultures would be the same as including "cultural appropriation" to food as well. The reason or foods styles evolved is because people shared their culture. Imagine if a British person weren't allowed to eat Tacos, or sushi, pho, or curry, because it were considered "cultural appropriation" because those are the origins of those foods. Someone could say eating Ramen is "cultural appropriation" because your culture didn't invent it. So... wearing a Kimono is wrong but eating sushi is fine even though it is from the same culture.🤔 and unless as an American you are going to stop eating Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Korean, Friench, Italian, food etc and never watch foreign movies, cartoons or TV shows... then you should shut up about "cultural appropriation."
    543
  394. "I could make a whole series out of this." Please do! I love learning about what it's like for foreigners to work in Japan.
    538
  395. 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!
    536
  396. I think what the guy at the beginning was trying to say was, "I hate them all equally". Lol To a Japanese, that's probably more polite than just naming one. 🤣
    534
  397. You neglected to mention Royce’s 5th language proficiency: That of music and piano.
    534
  398. At this point you just gotta learn Russian and just be Russian. It’s your identity now.
    533
  399. I moved to Germany from Ireland and married a German girl. That was 13 years ago and i'm still here but I still remember the culture shock. It took 2 years to learn how to navigate the culture and feel comfortable. I Consider it one of my greatest achievments.
    533
  400. RIP Laoshu, I found about this channel and other "foreigners speaking foreign language" channels because of him 😢
    532
  401. Japanese folk in cities and big towns don't even bat an eye when they hear you speak Japanese. The first thing they asked me whenever I approached them for help was if I spoke Japanese. If you go to the more rural communities, those places are mostly inhabited by older retirees and even they don't react like they stumbled across a gold mine when you communicate in Japanese with them. If anything, you just see mild relief on their faces, because for some reason they think they're letting you down if they're unable to speak English properly.
    530
  402. I need to start doing those business cards. Keep it up! I always look forward to these vids
    529
  403. Side note: Japan normalizes clothes which are bold and unique and contains Harajuku style but in other countries, it would be odd and people would just stare at you and it just doesnt seem right, Japan is so kawaii
    527
  404. Me understanding everything he said in french: yeah, I’m sort of a polyglot myself
    526
  405. The hugs are so precious. I know Tommy's not accustomed to them, but it's lovely that he's embraced American hug-culture :)
    526
  406. Wow, even Japan's slum area is remarkably clean and organized.
    523
  407. Japan is such a cool looking place. The natural scenery and the architecture.
    522
  408. With how the world is nowadays, I love just seeing a married couple who clearly love eachother have such a good time!
    522
  409. Little things the Japanese do better - clear masks so that hearing impaired people can read lips 👏🏼👏🏼
    521
  410. "There is no rule not to do it". Yeah, because nobody expected someone is coming up with those crazy ideas. But to be honest, the world would be less colorful without people like him. 😂
    520
  411. I am an American living in Taipei and my son deals with this and gets really frustrated about it. He is in junior high now and was born and raised in Taipei. He speaks fluent Chinese without a foreign accent. His preferences and behaviors are mostly Taiwanese, not much American influence. He goes to local school and is always the only "foreigner" in the whole school. He hates getting called "foreigner" and new people he meets acting so shocked and amazed when he speaks Chinese. He has gotten to the point where he won't talk at all unless required to and he wears black hoodies to school to try to hide his pale skin and blonde hair. 😢 The only reason he doesn't have a Taiwanese passport is because they don't allow kids born here to get one unless they have a Taiwanese parent. When we visit America, he feels awkward and more like a tourist. I wish people could be more open and accepting. It is a rough road sometimes for children born and raised outside their parents' home country.
    520
  412. Your parents must be lonely. That is such a rural reaction. I spend a lot of time in Thailand and many of the rural thais say the same thing to me. Taking care of parents is a priority in many cultures
    518
  413. I really like Tommy's dad, he seems like a nice guy. I know from experience that older Japanese men tend to have difficulty expressing their feelings, so it kinda warms my heart seeing how open minded and welcoming he is.
    515
  414. It’s satisfying to hear “Toukyou”, instead of “Tokio”
    514
  415. They may not go around saying “I love you” but it’s obvious that the love is there. His parents are precious. 💖
    513
  416. i gasp everytime she initiates conversation, then breathes deep when it goes ok
    512
  417. I wish all homeless are as respectful, clean, and full of dignity as the Japanese Homeless.
    511
  418. 3:21 OMG! I’m a foreigner living and studying in Japan and i was shocked to see my classmate posing,that was our little trip from 2019 in Asakusa!
    511
  419. “Want to watch my stuff?” “Nah im good.” Real talk thats what trying to walk anywhere is like in vegas. Its all mix tapes and hooker cards and strip club barkers and street art and hobos asking for stuff.
    511
  420. What's interesting is you have a Chinese accent when you speak Japanese.
    508
  421. Wow. Youtube drama really exists in EVERY branch of this site. You guys are awesome and I love what you do! You inspired me and many others to pick up languages that I never would've even thought about learning and you can be proud of that, as I am also very thankful for the inspiration you give!
    508
  422. You assert the dominance in speaking Chinese, Korean and Japanese as a foreigner . 😂❤
    508
  423. This definitely makes me want to live with others when I go study in Japan. Usually I’m very introverted so I was drawn to just living by myself but, seeing your study makes me see the other side of living with others abroad!
    507
  424. When I was in high school I used to be so impressed by the Youtubers claiming to speak 12 different languages but now that I have gotten to a high intermediate/ advanced level in 2 languages I realize that I would personally much rather learn 3-4 languages over the course of my life and speak those really well rather than speak 10 or 12 languages poorly or at a very low level. Maybe that's just a personal preference.
    507
  425. When I watch polyglot channels, I don’t expect them to actually know the language. It’s just for entertainment purposes. I don’t take them seriously.
    504
  426. They're all so friendly. So nice to see them pop out of their shops to say hello.
    503
  427. The Taxi driver must be a father! I bet he has daughters, and hopes that strangers treat his children the same way ❤ You’re really helping me to stay motivated to learn Chinese and Japanese! 🙏🏼
    501
  428. "Yeah, I'll drink a lot of water" you say, with a Red Bull in your hand. 😆
    501
  429. I must get out my Christmas banana outfit, now that they are back in fashion!!!
    500
  430. Its very odd to see people be so openly discriminatory in this day of age. I guess it will always exist in every country due to history but still wild. Wish it wasn't the case but that's life i suppose. Like you said not everyone is like that though. Very interesting video though!
    499
  431. This was actually much more interesting that your "surprise, blondie can speak Mandarin and Japanese" videos. Thanks!
    498
  432. I'm very impressed by Matt's Japanese speech. He sounds like a native Japanese speaker. I can say this since I grew up in Japan.
    497
  433. "Throw some Engish in there just to keep it spicy" lol I loved that part
    496
  434. That was very interesting that her brain actually tricked her into not hearing foreign Chinese and instead assumed it was foreign English..all from your appearance. I have seen this happen before...where someone will be speaking fluently even in THEIR native language, but they can't compute it because their brain is expecting English. It then takes a few seconds, when suddenly a light bulb comes on and they understand. Amazing how this happens..
    496
  435. I am a Spanish teen watching an American girl living in Japan. Noice
    495
  436. Japan's "worst" neighborhood is far cleaner and safer than the most expensive areas I've seen in New York. As an American.. what the hell are we doing wrong.
    494
  437. Joshua is one of those people who’s life is already guaranteed to be interesting even from the moment he was born! :D
    493
  438. that was just wholesome and how both parents were willing to learn each others language (even if limited) to communicate was nice
    489
  439. Kids really know how to keep you humble with the reality check. I'm very glad to see another upload, I hope all is well. Best of luck with the job hunt as I know times are tricky right now.
    489
  440. The problem with being a pretend polyglot is that you may initially inspire people to learn other languages but because you were basically lying to them you, in the end, end up totally turning them off due to the hard work that one needs to put in. I feel it does a huge disservice to those who honestly want to learn.
    488
  441. Its funny, Alecia has some of the Japanese face expressions and gestures 😄 She seems very nice and polite, just as you would expect from a japanese person 🙂 Very sweet
    482
  442. I like the editing of this video! Switching between the interview, the rickshaw and the vlog-type clips. I find that much more engaging compared to if it were to be the whole interview in one go etc. Awesome vid! :D
    481
  443. Honestly his parents seem quite welcoming.
    479
  444. God, it kills me when polyglots claim they speak Mandarin and their Mandarin is absolutely TERRIBLE. Idk, I had to do an hour long presentation about the differences between Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism totally in Mandarin so it’s like hearing someone say a few basic sentences then claiming fluency just... bothers me lmao.
    479
  445. omg why were those youtubers so mean… those “men” sounded so misogynistic and miserable. dont take it personally you are amazing and so talented ♥️
    477
  446. Pearl: "I'm not an American celebrity, I'm just a normal person." Her viewers: 😏
    475
  447. My sister and I were riding the train to a festival wearing yukata, and a mom and daughter behind us were talking about us…”Wow, look at how dressed up they are! I wonder where they’re going? Do you think they live around here?” It was all very innocent and just simple curiosity. I think it’s a normal human response to be curious when you see something out of the ordinary, even if it’s another person. I’ve never heard anyone talking about me in Japanese who was saying anything rude or unkind.
    474
  448. I like to see your daily interactions with people. It’s a lot more interesting than a monologue.
    474
  449. That half black half Japanese girl. Oh my lord 😍
    473
  450. Aaliyah and Takeshi should come to Hawaii. Most everyone is mixed with some sort of Asian or other Pacific Islander. I am biased because it is home, but come here, it's great!
    472
  451. The Korean locals are surprised and impressed with your Korean language speaking, Miss Alyssa, being part of the community is heartwarming.
    472
  452. I died of laughter when the guy said "Dang. Your Chinese is freaking fluent." 🤣
    472
  453. I always feel a lot better when I remember that even Japanese people forget kanji, it makes it not as stressful when I forget a reading
    471
  454. Music is a universal language. Royce got spicy in that improv with all those chromatic notes on top of a major rhythm.
    471
  455. INCREDIBLE IDEA for supporting the MENTAL HEALTH of Japanese people!! your kind gesture had a much bigger impact than you can imagine 👏 ❤️ 🇯🇵
    469
  456. I think the taxi driver adopted you as a granddaughter ... be safe .. don't stay out late ...
    468
  457. Thanks for the wonderful chat, Anming! We seriously need to do an in person collab when borders are finally opened again! And thanks to everyone watching for your support! We hope you enjoyed our discussion! 💕🙌
    465
  458. Am I the only one who thinks that Orientalpearl and Katie look like the live-action version of Carole&Tuesday?
    463
  459. I learned how to say "Good day my friend. How are you?" in 7 languages. Am I a polyglot yet??
    461
  460. To be fluent in two very difficult languages, incredible.
    461
  461. You inspired me to learn a new language! Amazing video.
    460
  462. Pearl's overall content are unqiue. They showcase different sides of every Asian country she would travel to. Her humbleness and and passion for making these types of videos is definitely something everyone should look up to.
    459
  463. The guy in the pig suit is such a legend lol. I wonder why he was wearing that suit? Where was he going? These questions will forever be left unanswered.
    458
  464. "I have lived abroad for 9 years". "Your parents must be lonely, then". I'm sure your parents are not lonely, but I'm curious how you answered her. :) I understand how her pov would be so different. I love the "wall of fame" offerings at the restaurant! LOL - the R2D2 encounter with the two young men was so fun!
    456
  465. That looked like a fantastic experience! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
    455
  466. It appears you made him uncomfortable talking about the wrath of your boyfriend - he would not walk beside you afterwards lol
    454
  467. As a fat guy who has lives in Japan for a few years, I absolutely lost it when that kid patted the guy's stomach. I understand that pain. XD Also, yeah. My Japanese is like a preschool level and the kids are still SUPER psyched when I say something in Japanese. Blows their minds.
    454
  468. Basically Japan is a giant convention with adults cosplaying with Halloween costume parties. Unlike US and Canada, where the kids go from door to door receiving candies from neighbours. Glad you had fun Black Mamba!
    453
  469. Love these interviews, and congrat's on your 1M Subscribers ...
    448
  470. “She’s smart”. “No, that’s not true” I love your humbleness even though you unlocked the trifecta of Asian languages (Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese). To put it into perspective, you can speak to 35% of the population in Asia (China, Japan, South Korea).
    447
  471. Japanese people are by far the most educated and respectful people in the whole world
    447
  472. My experience (in that we visited for two weeks in 2019) was that the Japanese are used to foreigners in tourist areas. However, they were not used to seeing foreigners like my daughter who was 5 years old and has bright red hair. She would get noticed, but the locals were very polite and wouldn't stare or make a big fuss. The only exception to the non-staring was teenage girls, who would giggle and whisper 'kawaii' to each other. My daughter picked up on that quickly and would be playful for them.
    446
  473. I remember being in japan and we went to Hiroshima memorial park and there was a group of Japanese elementary kids and they were so excited to see us. They all waved hi and wanted to talk and speak with us, sadly we didn’t get to but it was very cute.
    445
  474. The way I would get tripped by all the leashes now he’s what I call talent😂
    445
  475. You and Xiaoma should do a collab :D
    444
  476. The food though… looks おいしい😍
    444
  477. I had a moment of realization about this polyglot fakeness a few weeks ago.. I speak Greek fluently and saw a “polyglot” video claiming they learned Greek among other languages in a short time. Needless to say this was my face when he started speaking in my mother-tongue... 😐
    442
  478. Him; give me a hug Friend zone level: 99 💀💀💀💀💀 I’m deaaaad 🤣
    440
  479. Thanks for allowing us another glimpse into your personal life. This was a fun vid and glad to see you relaxed and happy. 😃
    440
  480. My asian mom is going to show me this and be like: "this white women speaks better chinese than you"
    440
  481. I am gonna be honest with you guys. As someone that has been socially awkward all my life, introvert, etc, I have to say that being social is not difficult, you just got to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice. Yes, I said it many times, because we introverts keep overthinking sh*'t. Get out of your head, just a simple "hello" once a day will give you more confidence.
    439
  482. When she shook your hand and said you're going to be the next president I almost died. 😂😂
    437
  483. I feel like one of the reasons you couldn't control the kids was cuz you're so empathetic and easy-going, they seemed to see you more as a loving friend rather than just a teacher :3
    436
  484. It's incredible to see a society with that much order. Even on the subway everything looks clean and people behave nicely.
    436
  485. The girl with the red shirt has a perfect American accent. I would never guess that she had not lived in the US all her live. It's amazing how some kids can learn two (or more) languages perfectly.
    435
  486. The mom’s face on the train was priceless! People were so thrilled you could speak to them in their language❤️. How amazing to be able to speak multiple languages!
    431
  487. Can’t wait to see how the video turned out! I remember the. Videographer guy haha. Thanks for having me on such an important day. I held back so many tears it was beautiful.
    431
  488. They are turning their heads because they can hear that you are a foreigner.
    431
  489. This series is so interesting. People seem to be very friendly, even if they're a little unfiltered. It's a nice history lesson too! Thank you :)
    430
  490. I am Japanese, and I am not gonna lie. His Japanese is better than my grampa’s.
    428
  491. I think a lot of people who go to Japan, the reason why they get the impression Japanese people are cold is because the people visiting aren't actually interested in interacting with Japan and Japanese people, but rather just interacting with the Japan they see online aka harajuku, shibuya, etc. The visitors don't want to conform their life, I know a lot of visitors who go to Japan and end up eating and McDonalds and I am like huh! There is all that good food there but you aren't interested? Such a waste.... Just because the food or language scares them they stick to what they know thus resulting in an incorrect perspective, in my opinion at least.
    428
  492. Being Asian American, I got approached for directions when I traveled in Taipei by Chinese tourists and in Japan by Japanese elderly inside train stations. A third of a time, I'm lost too in those huge train stations. During those times, I wish I could speak Mandarin and Japanese. Kudos to you for knowing both.
    425
  493. What kind of film maker? Seemed to put his mask on quick when he appeared on your camera...👀🤔😷
    425
  494. The reason this content is popular is because its heartwarming, entertaining and connecting. It's hard to top the rection when someones day is made because you speak their language. Angry polygots are angry beceause they didnt think to do it first, or have no social charisma/confidence
    420
  495. I know what you said in Japanese! Yay! I feel like my language learning is actually making progress for the first time.
    420
  496. One time when visiting Japan about 10 years ago, I got left together in a house with a Japanese guy ( I think maybe my wife's second cousin or something like that) who was told that I spoke Japanese, so not to worry. I guess he just assumed that I could maybe say "Hello", "goodbye" and "please" and "thank you" in Japanese. So, later he was standing looking out a window and I struck up a conversation with him...speaking his language. It shocked the heck out of him and his reaction was pretty funny. Now, looking back at that incident, I'd guess that I was living in Japan teaching English and speaking Japanese on a daily basis LLOOOONNG before he was even born!! And back in those days (late 1960s and early 70s) Americans in Japan that spoke pretty fluent conversational Japanese were pretty rare, so I was quite accustomed to seeing funny reactions...especially from teen aged and on down kids!!
    420
  497. Congrats you two! It only gets more fun from here!!! 🔥🥳
    420
  498. You know you master a language well when you can interpret from one language to the other. Even more impressive when it's from Japanese to Chinese!
    419
  499. I've had 3 trips to Japan and never got any weird stares. The only time was at the Kansai airport where an huge group of Korean guys stared at me. Staring is a thing in Korea, or so I've heard. So I wasn't suprised. In Japan, people would come up to me and ask if I needed any help (directions), suprisingly all of them were older people who didn't even speak English. They were so nice! And one time me and my friend took a bus to a not-so-touristy location and the buss driver looked as us and asked "are you sure you're on the right bus?" He was concerned and it was adorable. I know there are gaijin haters in Japan, but as a tourist I've personally never felt that.
    417
  500. Usually, Japanese speak English with a strong Japanese accent. The Japanese girl spoke perfect English today.
    416
  501. "Anybody who speaks Chinese is part of the family" Hahahaha That family is about 1,200,000,000!! Pretty big family!!
    415
  502. All the women serving you were lovely, I felt genuine warmth there and they wanted to converse too which is not always the case. Once again you are a star, many of us are watching your clips and thinking bloody heck, I would not be able to start up a chat with an English speaker with such effortless charm.

  503. 3:47 "Japanese 101: deny compliments from strangers" As a British person I suddenly feel a great swell of kinship with the Japanese
    412
  504. OMG I just realized she was on Black Experience Japan giving her story there as a Black and Japanese person living in Japan hahah she’s pretty dope. You go Katie!
    409
  505. I thought because of their respect for sumo wrestlers things would be different.
    403
  506. His rap was so bad I started crying .

  507. When I was 18, I was part of a sister-city trip to Nagaoka, but we spent several days in Tokyo. I had an ulterior motive as I wanted to work for an anime studio as a mecha designer, specifically for Studio Nue and apprentice under the great Shōji Kawamori. Well...I went, took my sketchbooks with me, and they were actually so impressed with what I had done as a teenager that they actually offered me my dream! A job as an apprentice to Kawamori-san, they would help me get situated in Tokyo, help with my Visa....everything. Then my dad told them no, that I wasn't there to get a job (but I was), and since they were mostly older gentlemen who were very "traditional" Japanese men, they respected my fathers words over my own. Had the opposite been the case, II would have been living in Japan for over 30 years now and be quite happy in my life there instead of miserable in America.
    402
  508. This happened to me a lot while living in Germany! I'm Canadian, and it was always entertaining to hear things when someone didn't think I knew what they were saying. This video was such a fun watch! Generally though - a lot of places/people are excited when foreigners can speak their language, or even try!
    402
  509. Hearing an American and Australian speak Mandarin is like music to my ears. What a logical discussion! :D
    401
  510. I like how you get into character when speaking Japanese. Bowing and nodding constantly.
    401
  511. I love watching your videos :)). I wish I could be as sociable as you, but I'm a hard core introvert and just talking to random strangers like that makes me feel instant anxiety. You're so lovely and genuine though. I really can't stand videos of those western guys who walk around and instead of making some nice conversations in foreign language, their only goal is to catch on camera how some asian people are impressed by them. Honestly makes me cringe.
    400
  512. I love the Japanese culture and watching videos of Japan but it was awesome seeing Tommy's experience here! I am from Chicago and love Michigan. I am glad he had a good time. It's important to learn and appreciate other cultures!
    399
  513. She’s gifted. It’s not easy to learn a new language and say it fluently and switch back and forth between languages. But don’t stop yourself from learning a few words to speak with the locals. People are always amazed when you try to speak with them.
    397
  514. She's gorgeous but the fantastic positive attitude really is the cherry on top. Her parents have done a fantastic job.
    396
  515. What I love about your personality, is that you maintain you inner child alive and happy, sadly most of the people either hide it in public or simply let die. Hope nothing ever sour your happy and lively spirit. Keep up the good work girl! We need more cheerful hearts in this earth.
    395
  516. My daughter is learning Spanish ,French, Portugese and also korean. It makes me feel real proud. It's not just the language you also learn about the culture which is very beautiful and confirms that under all these languages and cultures we are all human beings , part of an equally great creation.
    395
  517. These videos never fail to put a smile in my face. That little chat with the old lady was truly wholesome, and those guys asking if you have a boyfriend cracked me up.
    394
  518. The demon slayer opening gurenge is just so immaculate when it comes to piano
    393
  519. Welcome to the club. I am a Japanese guy married to an Indonesian woman. We had our wedding in 2006 in Indonesia, and now we are family of three, we have a daughter, she was born two years after our marriage and now she's a teenager. International/intercultural marriage is fun. It's not always easy, but y'all will figure out. God bless you. :)
    392
  520. "No, she's with us. She's not holding us hostage"
    392
  521. You're a beast! That looked pretty brutal but hope you had fun!
    391
  522. In my country if it rains in your wedding it means that you'll have a very long and nice life together! Congratulations 💖
    391
  523. “Yankee” is a insult in the American South. You do not want to be called a Yankee!
    387
  524. I love your videos. I'm currently learning mandarin. I'm a total beginner. 42 years old mechanic from england. And you inspire me. Thank you.
    387
  525. Its so beautiful how people open their heart and began to be friendly when the language barrier is broken. It's a mental fear of unknown persons and words.
    386
  526. Anming caught red-handed telling a white lie to those two Chinese ladies. We totally knew what that cute cake was for...a very important and legit anniversary! :D
    384
  527. People are just jealous of your success sweetheart, don’t let their insecurities bring you down.. I have the same with my channel at times. Your channel is amazing and you speak their languages beautifully and respect their culture so much. There will always be sad trolls and people who hate you because of their own insecurities. Keep doing your thing, Aim high, it’s the best revenge, they want you to feel down and question yourself, Don’t! Much love 💕
    384
  528. "Your Chinese is really good." -"It's ok." "Modest" I laughed 😄
    384
  529. I’ve been working at a hotel in Okinawa and honestly the best part about this job is that I can meet and talk with the kids. At first they are a little bit reluctant, but after they notice that I can speak Japanese, they would be so excited about it and start talking with me. Whenever they would see me in the lobby, they would greet me and high-five me and it is just so motivating man.
    382
  530. I went to Japan and managed to learn just enough to make sure I could be polite and respectful (I'm bad at languages so I did my best). And they praised me SO MUCH and I definitely didn't deserve it 😭
    381
  531. Congrats on 1 million!
    381
  532. I'm Japanese, but I'm half Chinese, so I can understand you speaking in three languages in the video. Greetings from Hamamatsu, Japan
    381
  533. I'm just so amazed at the depth of your vocabulary and the way you can easily construct sentences on the fly with both languages! People say you're smart, and of course, there's no doubt about that; I believ, however, that your hard work and persistence make 90% of your fluency. And these traits are evident in your videos! Keep up the good work and hopefully we'll see you in Japan when we visit in October-November :)
    379
  534. I am Korean and whenever I visit Japan, I am always amazed at the hospitality and kindness of Japanese people (when I try to communicate in Japanese, that is). They are such thoughtful and friendly people. Japan has delicious foods and beautiful culture, but it is those nice people that make me love the country the most.
    377
  535. Hater breakdown: That Asian girl saying you suggest that knowing a second language means you understand the culture is completely wrong, you never insinuated or stated that, but there is credit to the idea that knowing and speaking a person's native language that isn't your own opens them up to sharing their culture with you because that are encouraged. So, she is like some Asian people raised in an asian culture in that she is racist without even recognizing it or seeing it as a problem. It's not necessarily a malevolent racism, but it's definitely discriminatory and the thought that others are inferior for being different in any way and not uniform or conformist. She is a fool and ignorant of her own shortcomings. Those guys voices, whatever their "podcast" or channel is I don't know them, but they seem like loud morons. What kind of an idiot gets mad about someone else simply showing their own interactions and perspectives and lightly encouraging others to pursue learning a language if they want to? He gets mad, and starts ranting about it while simultaneously swearing and saying that he does care about it/ you etc. If he didn't care about it he'd stop watching it and commenting on it and getting mad about it. I don't care about the Kardashians, and because I don't care about them at all I have never once watched anything involving them or their drama. I don't go ranting about them etc. saying I don't care. Those guys sound like "nice guy" incels who like to b**ch and moan about how women don't appreciate them etc. Pearl, you have very small teeth as far as your front incisors. Not a bad thing or a good thing, just something unique about you. Assuming it's not something caused by grinding like in your sleep etc. It makes you look interesting, like literally it catches your eye but not in a bad way, and I think part of it is because it accentuates your canines more, makes them look longer, which is actually a beauty thing in some cultures. People like the haters are pathetic and weak and filled with self disgust that instead of coming to terms with, they hyperfocus on other people and criticizing others makes them feel temporarily better about themselves. It's ok to disagree or dislike someone based on their thoughts or views etc., but to focus on their physical traits is just stupid. Keep doing what makes you happy. As you've seen great growth with your channel lately, unfortunately for many YouTube creators that also means at least temporary increase in negative attention as well, though hopefully they will move on to the next topic or target soon enough.
    377
  536. This looked so much fun everyday should be Halloween. Anming ‘killed’ all the competition with her outfit! :D
    375
  537. Absolutely fascinating to watch you greet and talk with all these different languages. I'm so proud that you can represent the U.S. and so many other countries. Enjoy your travels.
    375
  538. It's quite funny that people said that you are from Russia, when you are American because when I've been to Japan not even a single person said that I am from Europe but from America. When I told them I am from Poland (and explained where it is located) they thought I am German :D
    374
  539. That older guy was so nice 😭 He bought so much!
    373
  540. I really enjoyed the discussion on the topic. Nothing worth learning is easy IMO. I'm glad you're not afraid to speak out on issues like this. It's one of the reasons why I'm subbed to your channel. Not just for the funny reaction videos 😉
    372
  541. wow, the Japanese people are so polite and not only the older but the younger age group as well.
    370
  542. I'd rather be 'not marketable' than be an 'A$$hole'. Keep doing you, Anming, you're authentic and likable.
    369
  543. What a beautiful couple. Congratulations! I have a 23 year old daughter who has been studying Japanese and has had her dreams to go to Japan crushed twice by this stupid pandemic. I hope she can still go someday and if she met a Japanese guy as wonderful as Tommy seems to be I would be thrilled- even if she stayed in Japan!!
    368
  544. His dad was worried if you were hot or cold, I could tell he cares about you and you will fit in with the family :)
    366
  545. I too am a catholic and married to a Japanese man We are quite a blend both racially and in religion My husband is a buddhist monk Yet I remain strong in my catholic faith I am from Sydney Australia My husbands hometown is Hiroshima We have been married now for 40 years and although I have spent times feeling homesick for my country Our marriage remains strong Our families have been very supportive to us We were very lucky I wish you both the best in everything. Have a wonderful future together You are a lovely couple
    366
  546. I just love how chill Katie is, she had such a chill vibe, I definitely have a girl crush on her. She seems like someone who you could be friends with instantly, if I ever come to Japan It would be so dope to meet up and tour around!
    366
  547. I love how the lady at the stand got comfortable and casual with you. You made her genuinely laugh and that was SO cute! And your bestie the little kid!!! Its amazing to see how comfortable people get immediate when they see you speaking their language and sometimes they rven joke with you or are genuinely sweet and almost vulnerable.
    365
  548. Nothing wrong with talking to random girls on the street, filming it on the other hand for content is pretty weird.
    364
  549. love these videos
    363
  550. This is so wholesome and inspiring. The people you encounter are so genuinely shocked and then appreciative of your skill with their language. I'm glad you've never heard anyone say anything negative. You have such a nice, friendly energy. I think they sense that!
    362
  551. This polygot flexing is just narcissistic and people use it to boost their egos. Its not cool. Where's the humility?
    362
  552. Why does your bgm sound like you're about to drop the most fire trilingual rhymes of 2020
    361
  553. My grandmother was Japanese and chose to marry an American man stationed in Japan during the height of US/Japanese conflict. She was disowned by her family and moved to the US, never speaking with them again. I often wonder with the time passed and new generations since, how I would be perceived by those who’re blood relatives and technically family but I’ve never talked to— especially the older generations. Great to see the elderly of Japan exude such kindness and lightheartedness towards foreigners! As always, the content is appreciated Anming.
    361
  554. thank you for interviewing me 💕💕
    359
  555. The images from the countryside were indeed very interesting, those places seem to be so relaxing! It reminded me of the time when I used to visit my grandpa in the interior, I would sit on the sidewalk on sunny days and simply watch the streets.
    358
  556. This was so wholesome and cute, especially when people open up more and are willing to talk because you're clearly interested and they probably haven't spoken to real life Americans or Europeans before. I hope to do this one day but there are barely any Japanese or Korean people in the UK I can practice with.
    358
  557. Thanks for sharing. As an introvert, I find it very scary and difficult to start conversations with strangers like that. You inspire me to try doing that even if my foreign language skills are no where near as good as yours. Love your videos!
    358
  558. schools upgrading as soon as you leave is the story of my life. It always made me mad lol
    358
  559. It looks like they scared you a little. 🤓
    357
  560. The boys are so genki and so funny!😂It reminds me of the English class when I was in highschool. I hope many kids enjoy learing English and not afraid of making mistakes😊✨
    356
  561. "Switch to a new one" lol! I lost at this part, I really find it funny how people "suggest" a boyfriend/girlfriend from their country when a foreign person speak their native language.
    354
  562. I love how friendly people are with you. It's a real gift learning a language!
    352
  563. I'm White, I speak Chinese with a decent accent. On two occasions, I've had conversations with folks where they didn't realize we were speaking in Chinese, because they were preoccupied by something else. In one case, an old woman on the subway looked confused. I correctly guessed that she was Chinese, and asked her where she was trying to go. She told me, and I told her what stop she wanted. This conversation was entirely in Chinese, and she never seemed to register she was talking to a White guy in Chinese, because she was really concerned about what stop to get off. In another instance, two women were trying to figure out a pay barrier. I knew they spoke Chinese as I could hear them talking it. I explained to them how the barrier worked, and they thanked me -- again, never registering that I was speaking in Chinese. However their husbands, who were nearby, were cracking up.
    350
  564. Tommys parents are extra nice to let you film them looks like everybody had fun
    349
  565. I love seeing stuff like this, when two people from entirely different cultures and parts of the world and even more two countries who used to be at war (one of the worst i know of) and can still find ways despite all of our complexity as humans, boil it all down to something simple. I hope you guys have a great life together, and grow old together. Your channel has been great from what i watched so far, good luck guys.
    349
  566. "Our American friend's Chinese is even more fluent than us Chinese people" studying did that😂
    347
  567. Very compassionate to make this video. It takes a lot of courage, too. Great post ❤
    347
  568. Hey your editing is getting better and I love your stories! 💕💕
    347
  569. The guy is like "Why am I learning US history during this walk?!" Such amazing Japanese for a Russian lady!
    347
  570. What a wonderful video!!❣️My husband is Japanese and we live in Italy. I have never met his family due to covid. 10 days ago his mother and grandmother came to visit us and I met them for the first time. Today we told them goodbye as they were going back to Tokyo! I hope to visit them in Japan soon!
    347
  571. If I had the chance to go to Japan I think the last place I'd visit is somewhere like Tokyo, but I'm not a big fan of cities in general. I'd be happier in smaller communities like I am here in the UK, the dog attack was so cute.
    346
  572. at 6:36, the girl jumping around and clapping her hands because they gave the answer away, had me rolling LOLLLLL
    346
  573. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees this. I can’t stand those “polyglots” who only know beginner level phrases. It’s so easy to tell if someone is actually proficient in a language. It makes me appreciate true polyglots even more.
    345
  574. We went to Japan 2019 and while we took photos from the Temple in Nara some kids popped up out of nowhere and asked my husband to take photos with them because he looks so cool (he is Vietnamese/Chinese but was born and raised in Germany) 🤣 that was so cute. He also got a little present from them 🤗 wonderful memories
    344
  575. Part of why you haven't heard negative things is that you're attractive. I have a sister who is fluent in French and German as well as English and ASL. She'd sometimes catch French women commenting in insulting terms about her weight. She lived in Washington D.C. and she once approached a couple of them. She simply said that they shouldn't assume others don't speak French in a cosmopolitan city like D.C.
    343
  576. Actually, most people watch till the end, but your audience retention is like 40% or lower because some people click away after 1 second (misclick or spooked by Japanese language on an English title). Your 85% viewers that are not subscribed is a great sign! It means YouTube is recommending your videos to people other than your subscribers and they are interested and click the thumbnail :) Just remind people to like the video and ask a question, so people can write a comment under the video. Comments and likes are the most important tools that the YouTube bot uses to decide if your video rocks or sucks. I'm going to move to France soon (not really, in 1 year) and I need to learn the language. I will apply your techniques to learn the basics.
    341
  577. The little girl hugging the coronavirus cat absolutely made my day! Everything is happier and brighter now. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
    341
  578. The interaction at the Chinese shop at 8:00 was my favourite in the video. The woman seems beaming with happiness and surprise that you speak not only her language but her husbands. It’s unbelievably sweet.
    341
  579. Respect to this man for following his dream and not giving up.
    341
  580. That Rickshaw guy was very charming. I really like this channel.
    340
  581. The lady talking about her experiences in the 80s seemed so sweet. Must have been a very unique way to grow up.
    340
  582. I’m not sure what I am more impressed by, your astounding skills at both Chinese and Japanese, or your personality, the way you interact with people. You seem to have the knack of bringing out the best in people.
    339
  583. The dudes asking if you had a boyfriend but actually have a husband is my favorite part. Their reaction is perfect
    339
  584. Interesting how the attitude changes with language
    338
  585. i loved what he said "Whatever country you live in you should study the local language" RESPECT
    338
  586. I've been a watcher for a few years now and somehow this feels personal and important to me. Thanks for giving us a window into your life and adventures. You're a beautiful person in so many ways and I'm so happy for both of you. It's such a pleasure to watch smart people making progress in whatever they apply themselves to and I wish you and your husband the best in whatever adventures your married life brings you on.
    337
  587. I learned Japanese while watching anime.
    337
  588. 4:46 idk anything about body language but it looks like you stole this guy’s heart 😂 the way he grabbed his chest, smiled and emediately stood up!
    337
  589. A westerner speaking chinese fluently is amazing. A westerner speaking chinese and japanese fluently - now that's literally out of this world.
    337
  590. i really love how you’re bringing attention to the invisible cities in japan & the more poor or unexpected areas. the more attention, the more help there can be <3
    337
  591. I've decided that I'm gonna teach english in Japan when I'm older, and seeing your experience makes me so excited to actually do it, helps relieve a lot of my unnecessary anxiety
    334
  592. Hey there , Me and R2 said thank you for the time and the trip, We gotta do it again. Rei and hiro can't wait to seeing you again. lots of love and respect (Anming) , your the man , well your the lady .
    333
  593. I think the fact that your inlaws took you to church is a very kind act on their part.
    333
  594. I'm glad you're both taking a stand against this type of predatory language learning. It can make it really confusing especially when you're just starting out with a language that you can easily be taken advantage of because you just don't know any better. Stick to your morals and keep them people, c'mon!
    332
  595. Wahhhhhhhhh so good
    332
  596. She knows Japanese so well she even laughs like Japanese girls, covering her mouth.
    332
  597. I am sorry, but people that say stupid shit like that are just jealous they don't speak several languages or experience the real world like you do! Keep up the good work! Its fun seeing reactions and making people's day!
    331
  598. Two families are becoming one, I love to see it. Both are so open and willing to respect each others cultures and backgrounds, it's wonderful to see. Here's to a perfect marriage to come! :)
    330
  599. I found that younger people, spoke English more often to me when I was in Tokyo. But some were a little nervous to speak it, thinking it was not very good but I was so proud of them for trying. Then I was amazed when older people would spark up conversations with me in grocery stores, speaking excellent English. I used to visit Japan for work every summer. I miss it.
    328
  600. As an American of Japanese descent, I can say your Japanese is excellent young lady and you'll fit in like a new member of their family. The Japanese are very accepting of those who "marry outside" and your sweet personality and beautiful blonde hair will be loved by all of your new family. Like all proud parents all they want is their new family member to love and cherish them which will most certainly be reciprocated. This is AWESOME!! Congratulations!!!!
    327
  601. That hat is from Nepal. That's a nepali hat called "Dhaka topi" Finally something Nepali on your video!! Your fan from Nepal jiayou jiayou!!
    325
  602. I’ve never seen the Japanese fashion subculture of Lolitas get called out for “appropriating” French culture before, they simply see something they think is beautiful and want to emulate it, even if they don’t know a thing about the christian influence on most of the aesthetic. It’s sad that you, someone who clearly loves Japanese culture, respects it, and knows a lot about it, will still get called out for participating in it simply based on your skin tone. You literally live in Japan, so wouldn’t it be better that you try to fit in instead of you being that typical foreigner who refuses to adapt?? Keep doing what you love!
    325
  603. I love the way the kids just fell right into being schooled. Beautiful to see.
    325
  604. Another in the fine documentary style videos that you have made bring the plight of Japan's homeless to light. I have followed your lead and donated to this cause. I am always impressed by the dignity and strength that the individuals you highlight display. I know I could not cope as well as many of these individuals have and do in their challenging situations. I like all your content, you continue to inspire in so many ways.
    324
  605. 1:35 ok ik nobody cares and nobody asked but the dood wearing the coat is cute ash
    323
  606. VERY FUN YOU DID THIS IN KOBE!! Finding Japanese speakers in China is WAAYYY HARDER in my experience as someone who has lived in both China and Japan. Happy New Year and excited for your upcoming 2022 videos!! 🎊 😊 Love from Okinawa ❤️ 🐠 🌊
    323
  607. 100% true. I went to a japanese language school in Tokyo and I am not going to repeat it anymore 😆 I learned more by myself than in "the school". The same happened to me when I wanted to drink water haha 😂 And the thing is studying languages you can know how's the culture, is an importan tool when you're in another country. But I totally agree no one needs to justify "why", everyone has their own reason.
    322
  608. Love watching different cultures and experiences.
    322
  609. Congrats you two. This is awesome! I know you have worked your ass off and its all paying off. Keep inspiring others!
    320
  610. I really like how your Chinese sounds. Maybe it's a combination of your pronunciation and voice
    319
  611. Wow, you speak both Chinese and Japanese. That's so impressive! How long have you been learning Japanese?
    318
  612. bruh when she was asking for a recommendation and that lady went Ohh おすすめ i felt that
    318
  613. Japan seems like such a wonderful country to visit. Even the way most people interact with each other on the street, there is a lot of respect there.
    317
  614. My first years in US, I was saying "I don't care." when I wanted to mean "I don't mind." Also I once said to my friend about his mother, "She looks good." when I wanted to mean "She seems nice." Your episode remined me so much of my days in the US. I enjoyed your story. Thank you.
    317
  615. Literally, wtf? Hadn't it been for those recordings I'd never believe that someone said those things about you. Thanks to your channel (and the YT algorithm) I've made a second attempt at learning Chinese. I used to believe I'm too stupid and that I'll never get it, but your videos, specifically you speaking fluently, motivated me so much that I thought: wow, I want to be like her! Since I watched your first video a month ago I've been learning everyday. And your videos are so positive that they make me want to meet people even though I'm socially awkward and have low self esteem. At the end of the day you're the one who brings positivity, motivates and makes others feel good, while all they do is talk shit and bring others down.
    316
  616. I use three rules while speaking with strangers: A. There is an specific goal on the conversation. B. The interaction can not take more than 1.5 minutes. C. If an "ending" statement is said by the other person the interaction must end. Most of the people will keep answering your questions because they can not express they don't want to speak. Also, most of the people is busy with something. Thats wht I think speaking with people is not bad, but it is to retain them for a long time.
    315
  617. That's really cool your mother came all the way to Japan! I was expecting more awkwardness but it went well in my opinion. That was an exceptional amount of Japanese your mom used and his parents they did pretty well with their english too.
    312
  618. Thank you for uploading such uplifting content. The world really needs all the positivity it can get, and your videos are always so much fun!

  619. Not speaking a language fluently is perfectly fine. What irks me is that so many polyglots are stretching the term speaking beyond belief and they seem to be in such a hurry to add a language to ' The list'.
    310
  620. I really enjoyed learning about your college education in China and what you achieved. Well done! You are brave, open-minded, and a pleasure to watch.
    309
  621. I just married my Japanese language partner in September! We knew each other for over 4 years but never thought we would end up being each other's partner at first. Best decision of my life. I hope you two have a long and happy life together! Congrats on the engagement!

  622. I had to laugh when the lady was stroking your hair. As a kid my grandparents would take me on holiday to Spain, when walking down the street or at the beach elderly Spanish ladies/men would stop and stare at me, they would point to my blonde hair, pale skin and green/blue eyes they would ask my grandparents to touch my hair. They would give me praise and hard boiled sweets out of their bags they had for their grandchildren, it was something so little but it was funny.

  623. As an adoptee from Korea growing up in Sweden I can totally relate to his experiences. Story of my life and many other adoptees.
    307
  624. How many times can the matrix be broken? And whoever is in charge of fixing it needs a raise.
    307
  625. i love how everyone has somewhat different experiences in japan i lived in japan when i was little (i’m japanese btw) and in my class there were i think at least three kids who ethnically weren’t japanese (you could tell just by looking) but they weren’t treated any differently, in fact when a kid from okinawa (different prefecture, we were in tokyo) everyone treated him more like a foreigner and it was funny (as a joke though, we all become friends cuz we’re kids lmao) if the kids who weren’t japanese were having trouble during class and stuff, no one would make fun of them and always help, i hope older generations will be like that as well so when ppl say japan’s very xenophobic, it really depends on the area and the ppl themselves plus they’re slowly becoming more accepting towards foreigners and i love that
    305
  626. When I visited Japan in a home stay program, my host explained when people were talking about me, but it didn’t happen often as I come off as racially ambiguous and blended in relatively easily, or so she told me. There was only one instance where she didn’t translate what the man was saying because he was drunk and saying some really mean things about foreigners in Japan after hearing us speaking English. I picked up a few words and phrases but not enough to get the full context of what he was saying. My blonde classmate, though, got a lot more comments and was most often asked by strangers if her hair was real and if they could touch it. 😅
    305
  627. I'm African American and I learned Spanish in High-school. It's been several years and I haven't practiced any of it since graduating: however I do remember a time at a football game I started singing a Spanish song for giggles, and a passing Spanish family stopped and asked me to keep singing. It was a really feeling to actually be encouraged to do so.
    303
  628. I like Yokohama very much. I was glad that I decided to go there. I was literally in Kawasaki only 15 minutes by train but only went to Tokyo 30 minutes away. It's totally different, a lot more relaxed. Ice Skating there was fun with people chatting to me. I am also learning Chinese so it's probably a good place to stay next time I go.
    302
  629. Her: The only way to learn is to make mistakes. Teacher: Why are your grades are so low? Me:The only way to learn is to make mistakes 😎
    302
  630. The thing to be careful of is misinterpreting cultural cues, which is a problem I have with these videos. The polyglot pitches the videos as impressing native speakers, but they can't read the room. Instead of being impressed, they are politely tolerating the guy who is holding a camera grappling with a few lines in their language. It's why these videos can sometimes come off as arrogant, especially when there is a mix of cultures that are verbally expressive versus people who are more inclined to be stoic.
    302
  631. This was a fun video. It seemed much better than what I would have imagined. It had me anxious that you said it was a Yakuza slum though, I hope you take care not to get too involved in showing us
    302
  632. Wow!!! When you said Royce was French I was blown away with his English. Not the slightest hint of sounding anything other than American. That is seriously impressive!
    300
  633. You’re a bridge between China and the West...a zip line between the Chinese and Japanese communities. :D
    296
  634. I still can't believe I was kicked out of the hospital for telling the Covid 19 patients to stay positive
    296
  635. How beautiful to cross so seamlessly between so many cultures and their languages. You are an inspiration and I wish I could be like you. I do speak English, French, Spanish and German but your skill is so very special. Thank you for making the world a better place.
    296
  636. "Welcome to my dark depressing room" A description of my soul
    295
  637. Reason why I like japanese: Waifu
    295
  638. I'm actually curious how these obviously group of strangers just started playing spinning tops in the middle of the street
    293
  639. I feel like I'm running out of oxygen just listening to the amount spoken lol.
    292
  640. "the countryside is so quiet!" /cicadas going WILD in the background/
    292
  641. You make me want to dive into my books and study my Japanese harder. Lol
    291
  642. "Just put yourself out there like many things in life." - great quote and also very true.
    290
  643. Can you imagine going up to a Japanese person in the states and start telling them that they will never be American? That would be insane. Its Ironic how they say someone experience another culture first hand is the racist.
    290
  644. "Who is reading this?!" Well...me?😂Actually a lot of them have a pretty decent plot
    287
  645. I laughed at the part about Katie still having to take English classes in Japanese school. When I was in school in the USA I was still made to take Spanish classes haha. XD
    287
  646. When i tell you i got SO excited when he started playing Gurenge from Kimetsu no Yaiba. I really liked this video! Your 'collabs' with other people are always so interesting to watch b/c they're all so different and cool :D
    287
  647. Question: How did I learn Chinese?? Answer: I worked hard, like really hard, like all day hard.
    286
  648. Love this. Ps. My real name is Goku. Born and raised with it since 88. Also a linguist and love your videos. My partner is Japanese and she told me we can name our son Gohan. (I'm proposing to her secretly tomorrow in our Goku and Chi Chi costumes at dinner!) And we are expecting our first child in June 🙏♥️
    286
  649. Aww Lisa seems like such a sweet person. Just gave her band a sub.
    285
  650. I knew so little Japanese when I stayed there and it was enough to get some conversation going. It was so funny because there’s this stereotype right like you said that they are cold etc but to be honest sometimes I felt like they were way more talkative than me because I never start a conversation with strangers 😂 Like you said, they’re curious, and when they saw I could understand a little they’d start talking more and more. Ah I miss Tokyo now
    285
  651. This is probably your most personal video to date. Love it.
    282
  652. This reminds me of a high school friend who studied all sorts of languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) in High School, he was from El Salvador and was living in the US, so add Spanish and English) and majored in Japanese at UCLA. We all lost contact with him after he graduated though. I imagine he went to Japan to escape family expectations of some sort. He hid a lot of stress, and I don't think it was from studying so many languages (successfully) at once.
    282
  653. He has so much confidence in himself I LOVE HIM. He is the sticky type of person you like to listen to.
    281
  654. Non-Japanese who say they can speak the language tend to mean they can order food in a restaurant, or hold a simple conversation. People who have got much further along the road than that tend to be more cautious, less likely to claim fluency, more aware that, despite all that they know, there is still more that they don’t know.
    281
  655. To be honest as someone who has lived in Japan for five years, I would think most Japanese would particularly see you, Oriental Pearl, as a novelty. Not everyone will get the same experience you have.
    280
  656. If we treated a British person of Japanese background like that here in the UK it would just be called racism.
    280
  657. Well, it's been 1 month since I started learning Ukrainian on Duolingo. I study 1h to 1h and half everyday. I speak loudly and write down all new sentences and practice them on the app, on which lessons are very repetitive. I have memorized all of the vocabulary so far. For me it's all about determination and commitment. Apps are the first step you want to take, talking to natives comes after when you are in a 6 months marks, for example. You can't engage in an actual conversation when you have basic knowledge.
    280
  658. She’s very pretty and cool.
    279
  659. I actually also like the not shocked reactions. You get great authentic regular conversations from them and I enjoy watching those as well!
    279
  660. I like how when you get complimented "oh your chinese is so good," and your like "oh, its alright" in such a "it's not a big deal" tone, lol.
    279
  661. I've been homeless, or as I called it, car camping. So that makes this interesting to me. My family hosted Japanese exchange students for about 25 years.
    279
  662. These YT clips can also have a positive effect on people's inherent xenophobia. They may see familiar banter between two separate cultures, the appreciation expressed by those native speakers and, perhaps ever so slightly, broaden their horizons.
    278
  663. I can confirm that Japanese elderly feel curious about foreigners! I traveled to Japan on 2019 and I was trying to figure out how to use Tokyo's subway; then, an old woman approached to me and helped me understand how subway works, and suddenly she started to speak in spanish! I'm from México and absolutely fell in love with the gesture of that lady <3
    278
  664. Thanks for having me again!! Thank you everyone for the lovely comments xx
    277
  665. I asked a group of children for directions when I was in Suzhou, as soon as they understood where I wanted to go they grabbed my hands and pulled me along. They really seemed to enjoy meeting a westerner.
    277
  666. Me in my mind : thinking in fluent japanese Me when i try to speak to others:.... Err.. (brain breaks down)
    276
  667. Congratulations on reaching 1M subscribers!!!
    276
  668. I'm Japanese-Filipina and I'm fluent in Tagalog, Japanese, and a little Spanish and Cantonese. Everytime I visit Oahu (my moms hometown) my relatives are always so surprised that I'm able to switch languages whenever I'm interacting with tourists. My aunt even joke that I should've been a diplomat lool. I love seeing your videos!
    273
  669. That’s wonderful that your mom was there for Halloween. It looks like she had a lot of fun.
    272
  670. “Looking for friends” I do that all the time but never succeed
    271
  671. Lol, I remember that when I was talking to my friends with Chinese saying a lot of “nage (that)”, a Jamaican girl came asked us were we talking about her, we were like “what????” By the time, we didn’t even know there was a racist ‘N’-word.
    271
  672. You deserve more than a million, Pearl. 🎉 Thanks for showing us these beautiful places and peoples.
    271
  673. When I first found your channel, I was stuck in the U.S. trying to get back to Japan for my job. Your videos kept me connected to Japan. Then after finally returning to Japan I met you in person in 2021. You’ve learned so many other languages since then. You’ve become like a diplomat.
    270
  674. Those nail salon ladies were so sweet. I wish i could go there
    268
  675. Yours is one of the channels I watch to be uplifted and happy. No arguments, no complaining, just you talking to people in their language and exposing others to another culture. Thank you!
    268
  676. Watching from Mexico. Wonderful that you are bringing awareness to these forgotten people
    267
  677. That coastal scenery looked amazing! I've never seen those kind of views in Japan before. It reminds me a bit of the South Coast of England.
    267
  678. Everyone else: Merry Christmas! Pearl: Merry ChristmasUUUUU! I just randomly tell people to have a good day when I pass them. xD Never know when someone needs even a small sliver of kindness.
    266
  679. The puppy with sunglasses was something unique :))
    266
  680. What a high quality video about something different. I can imagine someone in the future interviewing an American lady living in Japan called Anming a.k.a ‘The Yankee With a Camera’. :D
    265
  681. Katie really could be a model though like... frickin' gorgeous I got distracted every minute. The conversation with Rickshaw man was funny though. I love his vibe ahaha
    264
  682. As a Chicagoan, I approve of this modern Ferris Buehlers Day Off. 🇺🇲🏆😎
    263
  683. I'm not afraid to talk to people but I never know what to talk about.
    262
  684. I'm in love with katie's hair and eyes. She has such a nice aesthethic, kinda makes me wanna draw her, or draw a character based on her looks haha xoxo
    262
  685. Being able to experience parts of Japan through your videos is always an enjoyable experience! I am glad you and Tommy had fun and that Tommy is now a king!
    262
  686. Bummed to see you treated like this in my motherland. I definitely saw quite a few homeless guys wandering about the alleyways in Kawasaki when I last visited, and they were just as rude. While understandably so, this is a problem that requires a better solution than just hiding it away. Thanks for showing this side of Japan, Anming.
    262
  687. Your next mission: LEARN RUSSIAN 😅
    261
  688. Robin and Oriental Pearl make an awesome combo for reporting on the homeless and helping their cause.
    260
  689. I just met a new friend from Tokyo and I already miss her, It was nice having you here in Fukuoka and I look forward for us meeting again. R2 says Beep Beep!
    260
  690. Senior citizen at 3:57. I wonder how much of this may be western younger people not able to make small talk with Japanese. If you practice with strangers you might be surprised. This older person probably is secretly lonely and would love to talk if given the chance. That may be one strategy, to approach seniors. They love to ask questions and will tell you a lot of information if given an opportunity. This is true in other countries. My mother was able to practice her Mandarin on older people. They also have an abundance of time to socialize. It was common to to sit in a Chinese home and talk for three hours over tea and snacks.
    260
  691. Your vids are so much more tolerable than most of the "foreigners abroad in asia" genre. Most are weirdly arrogant, or social outcasts in their home country and running from something etc You're pretty normal and your perspective is refreshing compared to the usual (usually a male) obdervstions of life abroad in asia which often degenerate into some axe grinding about the new culture
    260
  692. So Anming, how are we supposed to believe you're an introvert/shy person, when you walk up to random Santas and doggies and strike up conversations?! Perhaps that was your persona in Michigan but you've definitely blossomed in Asia. What I would like to see is what traditions the Japanese observe for New Years. And also, perhaps you can make a tutorial about the most useful phrases to learn when visting Japan for the 1st time. Congratulations on your continued march towards higher subscriber counts!
    259
  693. Exactly! I speak English and Spanish, in an educational teacher level, I'm a teacher and even have dual certification to teach using both languages. Currently, I'm learning Japanese , learned it back in college in my early 20's, and it feels new. I'm picking basic grammar stuff faster, because it's a review for me. But I'm progressing fast. I'm still in the basic range. Anyways! I remember seeing some young lady, who apparently speaks 8 languages. I heard her Spanish, happened to be one of the languages, and I notice that it was basic. No slang, no Native speakers vocabulary usage, it was text book Spanish with some advance Spanish words. Later in the video she used Japanese, a language she also said she knew as well. Ok...I understood 80% of it! I'm a beginner, I talk in the toddler stage. I realized that her Japanese was basic enough for me to understand. I pointed it out, and got attacked by her followers. Anyways, I knew there that she wasn't really multi lingual. When I hear you go around the city using Japanese, I can barely understand 40% of what you say. That's how I know that you are advance. That's how I can tell who is a fake poly.
    258
  694. It's so unifying to see Chinese and Japanese in the same place, people talking to each other past the language barrier because of you :)
    257
  695. when you said "don't use apps" i was like omg pls dont say pimsleur, then you said u recommend pimsleur and i was so hyped (i definitely need to reinforce it with people tho)
    256
  696. As a Clevelander, I kind of figured that compared to our hometowns it was going to seem pretty tame. The gentleman from Nagasaki was very interesting - if you can find him again that would make for a good interview. And your tour guide needs his own channel, he seems very cool. Nice of him to take you around :) Another gem, keep it up!
    256
  697. I love how Japanese and America have such a great relationship today.
    255
  698. Great video showing the other side of Japan no one talks about. Homelessness is a major issue in every part of the world and seeing how other countries are tackling it inspires others to find ways to help the homeless.
    255
  699. I feel you're pain, born and raised in Australia, but not considered by some as Australian because I'm not white. It was until I was overseas speaking English in my Aussie accent until another Aussie asked where I was from, so I answered as if it was asked whilst in Australia, they looked at me confused, but you have an Aussie accent, then I realised she was asking where I'm from in Australia. Didn't feel Australian until that point.
    253
  700. Her hair makes Takeshi6ix9ine look like an amatuer.
    253
  701. The level of dedication you have to learn these languages is incredible.👍
    252
  702. He is seriously living his best life. He was so excited about everything 😊
    251
  703. LOL, fortune cookie. An American invention based on Japanese concept, used in American Chinese restaurant.
    251
  704. Oh man, this is exciting, im happy your mom and dad are in Japan.
    251
  705. I have trouble talk to strangers even in my own language, amazing social skill and Japanese skill
    249
  706. Marintia's experience is uniquely her own and I like how she stays authentically herself no matter what happened in her life! 💜
    249
  707. “Let’s see who we can make smile today” - love your efforts to be a greater energy in life. ✨
    249
  708. I'm studying Japanese for close to a year now. This video gave me a lot of hope, because I was totally able to follow the conversations and interactions. I still got a lot to learn tho. I'd love to visit Japan's countryside some day.
    248
  709. Tommy is such a good sport. He's teased relentlessly about his choice of pillow, his ability to throw and drive, and even his birthday suit but he always seems to take it in stride. This was such a fun and wholesome adventure. Thanks for sharing.
    248
  710. Anming, This was very well done. Eye opening experience for certain. These type of areas have a certain amount of people with mental health issues because, those contribute to why some are homeless. You were mostly ignored and treated better than I expected to be honest. Your Japanese language skills made an impact, even in this area. Most of the people are just trying to get by as best they can, and are not bad or inherently dangerous. However, a dangerous element will be present due to substance and mental health issues. I like to see more on this issue, but only if you can do so in relative safety. I want to continue to enjoy the content of the Oriental Pearl channel for a long time to come.
    248
  711. I cried so many happy tears for you! I got married during quarantine while my husband was going through military training and we had our ceremony during his lunch break. I hope you guys get to one day celebrate with your family soon! I will always remember your anniversary as weird as that sounds because my birthday is 5/20, Congratulations again!! Here’s to love ❤️
    247
  712. I love how the people compliment your language skills. You studied hard, you deserve the compliments. Not sure I could live up to a fraction of your skills. I really enjoy your videos 💕
    246
  713. This is truly one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen. John is a breath of fresh air(you too) and his emersion into the Japanese culture is informative, enjoyable and fun to watch. I look forward to Oriental Pearl and John traveling, interacting with people in China. Thank you!
    246
  714. As a Japanese-Brazilian I can totally relate, my family has been in Brazil for 4 generations, and yet, I'm still seen as a foreigner in my Own Country as well, one of my Wife's relatives even asked "jokingly" in a family reunion, if I knew how to speak portuguese.
    245
  715. Growing up trilingual these "polyglotts" just made me feel like crap and I was ashamed that I could not speak/read/write one language 100%😂
    244
  716. I admire the ability of this girl to have such a fluid conversation with a stranger and in another language.
    244
  717. Taking the time and effort to understand others' languages is such an expression of love and respect!
    244
  718. From my experience with Japanese people, ‘cultural appropriation’ isn’t even a notion that enters their minds. They love people who have an interest in their culture and language.
    244
  719. 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.
    243
  720. Great video. I studied French for years and lived in France but still cringe hearing myself speak French. I went to a restaurant with friends and was perfectly happy ordering but I was the last person to order and the person before me ordered exactly what I wanted. They all ordered in broken French or English. I said “bah...même choses pour moi.” The waiter assumed then that I was French and everyone was impressed. I basically said “same thing.” It’s very easy to appear much more fluent than you are in the right situation with the right phrase. Luckily, I could keep up with the rapid fire conversation that followed, but at the end of it he did say “sorry, I just assumed that you were French due to your eye rolling and ease with saying ‘I will have what he had.’ 😂
    243
  721. Inconsiderate “friend” on the effort you took. not right. You still had a positive outlook afterwards. You’re a good person 👍
    242
  722. i love the rickshaw guys energy and the way he said "im japanese" was so cute❤ love the video~
    242
  723. "Gweilo or gwailou is a common Cantonese slang term for Westerners"
    242
  724. I love their reactions whenever you start talking! It’s amazing how you can just fluently speak their language and have a normal conversation!!
    242
  725. This is one of the best, honest, straightforward language channels I've seen. No bs, no sugar coating, but you're still so motivating at the same time!! Thank you so much 🙏
    242
  726. Heeeeeeeeeeeey I know that guy! That was a fun collab😎. I’ll be releasing my version of the collab within a couple days. Thanks for being fun to hang out with Pearl❤️. Also doing a 24 hour livestream on Twitch this Wednesday and should be fun. Come on over if you get some free time that day👍
    241
  727. That one woman looked terrified when you told her you'd been to every prefecture in Japan. The Asians seem like very nice people. As someone who has been here from almost the beginning, I want to say to those passing throuugh, "Please subscribe and like.!" Alyssa works harrd bringing us these wonderful videos showing us these Asian cultures and their reactions to an American who speaks their languages.
    240
  728. Goes to show how incredibly impactful it is to learn the local language =) It connects you!
    240
  729. The answer to the question why do we choose to watch you has a simple answer: your personality is authentic.
    239
  730. “Not ready to fully let the inner otaku out” 🤣 subtitle commentary was pretty funny tho.
    239
  731. My experience when traveling in Japan was that kids they are very inquisitive, funny and I even got a free lunch when a group teenagers in Osaka asked if they could talk / have a conversation with me in English during their lunch break so they could practice.
    239
  732. 0:39 I love how you precise that it’s not the other word😂😂
    239
  733. I've been living here in the Kanto area for 5 years now and this is the first time I have heard about this area. Thank you for making this informative video. Stay safe! お疲れ様でした
    239
  734. 😂 the shocked expression on the men’s faces when you started talking to them!
    238
  735. I respect people of obesity but healthy life is always important
    238
  736. Its really funny how her voice and "personality" change when she change languages. This made my wish to learn mandarin even bigger.
    238
  737. I appreciate the fact when you switch from speaking Japanese to Chinese, you change your tone and cadence. That's a sign of mastery. Lol you even changed your personality a bit when switching from the two languages.
    237
  738. I can't tell you how happy I am you visited China town in NY and showed what it is really like to speak Chinese there. This is where the most "shocking Chinese speaking" videos are coming from. You are helping undo those misconceptions. NY is a very diverse place and they have heard and seen it all. They treated you like a regular customer with respect and courtesy. 💜 I hope your parents enjoyed the trip as well!💙
    237
  739. Some genuine polyglots : Lindie Botes and Luca Lampariello.
    236
  740. “Sound issues: please read the subtitles”... errr I only ever read the subtitles.. haven’t got a clue what your saying otherwise 🤣👍🏻
    235
  741. When you speak Chinese the people are very nice and warm, lovely.
    234
  742. Japon es increible , incluso de niños tienen mas educados que algunos adultos.
    233
  743. I think japanese people say that to encourage people and not sound rude, since they're so polite. But I think it would be better if they complimented and then sugested some corrections, not all of them at once. That would be great. Maybe teachers have that perception. Great vid, btw. Love the subjects you bring here.
    233
  744. I didn't see Alyssa getting grilled by Tommy's parents. I did however, see Tommy getting roasted by both his parents and his wife during the trip. Tommy just mans up and takes it all with a smile. Nice video.
    233
  745. Rachel from "Jun and Rachel" calls it the Unicorn Effect. She has bright red hair (natural) and she says she gets stares all the time.
    233
  746. Having a nice fulfilling conversation, exchanging ideas and culture, I FEEL CHEATED! I WANTED CLICKBAITY CONTENT
    233
  747. Shout out to your future father in law!
    232
  748. Watching at 3am this vlog really made me hungry 😭😭
    232
  749. I think the ability to speak many languages is a sign of intelligence and empathy. The way you bring smiles to so many faces is a blessing. Keep doing what you do!!!
    231
  750. The Japanese reputation for politeness is vastly overrated.
    231
  751. I just got hired to teach in Osaka and will be moving to Japan in just a few months. Just wanted to pop over here and say thank you. Your videos greatly influenced me to finally go for it! Appreciate what you do on here ♡
    231
  752. Whenever you’re going back to China, fly any airlines from China and speak chinese with the flight attendants. See their reaction.
    230
  753. I followed your channel since I'm trying to learn Japanese. But I've also done archery for many years (the western version like in the olympics). I've never tried Kyudo, but it looks pretty cool. All I can say is that those targets look REALLY small to be hitting with that type of bow! Respect to the guys who can hit them 👍
    230
  754. It's funny how you speak so softly in Japanese while you speak without reserve in Chinese. You truly understand the cultural differences!
    230
  755. "This is my pantry, I don't have a pantry" I feel you
    230
  756. One common thing I find in xiaoma's and anming's video is: Chinese person: Your Chinese is so good Them: Hai xin ba. Hai xin ba.
    229
  757. Hey people, there's nothing wrong being an introvert. You could always just wait for an extrovert to talk to you, you don't have to force yourself to become one :) hehe xD
    227
  758. 1:52 One dog tried to piss on another dog! That dog sure knows how to assert his dominance lmao
    227
  759. Yeah ghosting is kind of a thing here in Japan because people don’t like direct confrontation, and for the same reason, people on the receiving end also kind of accept it in some cases. But that thing (not showing up after hours of train ride) happened to you in this video is whole on another level! That is so disrespectful and unacceptable even in Japanese standards! (because wasting someone’s time is viewed as one of the biggest sins in Japan) Probably that person is just a scumbag.
    227
  760. congrats!
    226
  761. I love the side that you're showing of Japan, the "warm" (welcoming) side of Japan since there are a lot of videos discussing the "cold" (lonely) side of Japan. While I'm here I'll wish you an Early Happy New Years, I hope 2021 treats you very well and for all the content you've provided for us thus far? All the way from California, just want to say arigato gozaimasu.. 🙏
    226
  762. You are so fluent in speaking East Asian languages ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    226
  763. That little kid with the bat is going to remember that experience for the rest of his life. He may even come to be more interested in foreign language, culture, and foreigners because of you! This is why connecting with others is such a beautiful experience <3
    226
  764. The Japanese lady was thinking. These two foreigners speaking Japanese, lollll
    225
  765. If they want a selfie with you then they respect you. They want to remember you because Americans speaking Asian languages is rare.
    225
  766. Fun fact: Brazil is the country with most japanese people outside of Japan, there's about 2 million of descendants, this migration started in 1908, there's a Japanese town in São Paulo called "Bairro da Liberdade".
    224
  767. I feel that I can typically tell when a youtube "polyglot" is fake. 1) I can sometimes hear that the pronunciation is awkward and horribly off from native or proficient speakers (even while I don't know the language well myself..some of them are just quite bad). 2) People they interact with in this other language sometimes look as though they're thinking "what the hell is this person saying?" 3) There are a lot of edits throughout these conversations (there's usually an edit every time they're about to give a response in the language) 4) The person converses with all people at the most basic level "My name is...what is your name...where are you from...I would like some food.." If they're upfront about just learning the language and we're seeing their process of learning, great, no problem. As far as language learning channels, I typically just follow people that are native speakers of the language I want to learn: Piece of French, innerFrench, etc. Question: Do you ever miss living in the US?
    223
  768. She's obviously in search of the mysterious toilet roll.
    223
  769. An American who has worked to learn and understand another language and culture is powerful! Who would not appreciate such respect?
    223
  770. Your YouTube ‘sagginess’ lately is forgiven because you’re spending more precious time with your boyfriend. :D
    223
  771. Belonging is a powerful two edged sword that cuts both ways unlike a Katana. When the Culture that gave you your childhood rejects you it leaves you homeless because when you travel to other cultures you still eventually miss the familiarity of home. It makes you seek that more enlightened part of yourself and appreciate that aspect in others all the more.💟☯️🕉️
    222
  772. Tbh when I see Katie face, she does have features that make her look Japanese but of course mix. People with mix blood are always gorgeous to me. I wish I have mix blood sometimes too. 😆
    221
  773. The fun you can have teaching English! It makes me want to try out teaching sometime in the future. The kids make it seem worthwhile and I'm sure you learn lots of life skills in doing so.
    220
  774. I've learnt Korean in Korea for about 3 years now and because I lived and studied in places where there aren't many foreigners I always heard people talking about me. But usually not negative. Usually they see me and start talking about how many more foreigners there are lately or how they want to learn english or they'll talk about my hair (cos I have curly blonde hair) and random stuff like that. I've also had the silent situation where people just stop talking to listen to me when I'm speaking korean haha it's pretty funny
    219
  775. When I traveled to tokyo I had more conversations with people than in my country😂 and I'll never forget a women who worked at a coffeshop. She wrote something like "you're so pretty" in japanese on my cup cause she was too shy (and didn't speak english) to say it directly to me. Japanese people are so kind🥰
    219
  776. In my opinion, people aren't impressed when you're extremely good at Chinese, and that's a compliment! You're considered one of them. They seem more impressed at people that speak so so. Try making a phone call in Chinese, if no one compliments you, then you just passed as a fluent speaker! If they say you're very good...you need to improve
    218
  777. This is exactly what it said on the tin...10 minutes, funny and wholesome! :D R.I.P. Laoshu and your capable channel moderator.
    218
  778. Oh it's that girl from that other episode!
    218
  779. His parents are amazing and really putting an effort to integrate into the family more easily. It was really cool to see the dad browsing YouTube. Happy New Year and my best wishes to you and your family!
    218
  780. I dated a Japanese girl and I was lucky enough to go to Japan and meet her lovely parents. She also came to my house and met my parents many times. Unfortunately our parents never got the chance to meet but I think it would have been an amazing experience had they been able to. We are broken up now but those memories live fondly in my heart. This video made me happy 😊 ❤️ blessings to you guys. I wish you a long and prosperous marriage and life together.
    218
  781. I’m glad you raised the subject of religion, most people are so excited to marry Japanese people and ignore their own cultural background at times. I’m a rather strict orthodox myself and religion plays a huge part in my country and in my life, so it’s nice to see other people in similar situations.
    218
  782. You should’ve taught him the traditional western Beigoma saying: “LeT iT RiPpp!!”
    218
  783. Ah, the most difficult language of all, the language of love 😬. Congratulations to you Anming and Tommy on your engagement. Wishing you many happy years together 🇺🇸+🇯🇵=💜
    217
  784. Thank you for shedding more light on this topic
    217
  785. Im still tryna understand what I just watched 😂😂😂
    216
  786. I really love this documentary style intro/video. Your ability to talk to strangers so openly really helps, I like hearing perspectives from locals. With how much Japan is romanticized, it is so important to show the not so glamorous and realistic side of life there. 元気でいてください <3
    216
  787. 2:45 my favorite part! The girls thanking you in unison is so wholesome to me. I’m glad you spread kindness everywhere ❤️
    215
  788. Thank you for this fun look at Japanese culture. It's sad that so many countries are against people embracing their culture if they aren't born to it. I think as long as people are honoring it and showing respect and not stomping all over marginalized groups, it's a good thing. Going to watch part one now. I didn't get the notification... better check my settings😉 💕💕💕💕 Was the language school part 1?? I don't see another video between that one & this one.
    215
  789. As an American Born Chinese (ABC) from NYC, I always loved it when other nationalities speak any Asian language , makes me feel proud of my heritage especially I was raised in a mixed culture household, some British and American along with Chinese traditions
    215
  790. Am I the only one who starts coughing uncontrollably once anything goes into my ear? Totally rules me out for ear cleaning, especially during covid 😂
    214
  791. You have studied Chinese 6 hours a day and memorized 50 words each day? That's a lot of work....!!
    214
  792. “Dang, your Chinese is freaking fluent!” Had me laughing so hard. The way you flipped back and forth was making me react the same! Stay safe!
    214
  793. I grew up in China and have since moved to primarily english speaking countries, it was bittersweet to see you speaking Chinese so fluently with others, because I was able to see how much I lost my ability to speak Chinese. But, I was also happy that I was able to understand most of what you were saying without subtitles! It was very nostalgic. Love your videos.❤️
    214
  794. I'm bi-racial (half Korean), but people have a hard time figuring out my ethnicity. My American dad and I were at a Korean restaurant in Texas, and just listened to the women complaining about customers and tips. As we were leaving we spoke to the women in Korean, to let them know we knew what they were talking about, and we did leave them a tip. Our very own Seinfeld moment!😉
    214
  795. When you mingled with those colourfully dressed ladies...it’s amazing that you’re actually the one who stood out! :D
    213
  796. I'm an introvert guy. Last year when I went to Tokyo, I spoke a broken Nihongo to the taxi driver, end up we both become friends☺
    212
  797. Hey Alyssa, maybe it’s just me, and that’s ok if it is, but Tommie seemed the most authentically and openly Japanese in this video than any other. I think maybe the excitement of being in America, with you just turned him back into a little boy that couldn’t hold his excitement in at all. It made me happy. ❤
    212
  798. it's best to ignore it all. it's called jealously they wish they could do what you do. they want it but fail to get it. keep up the good work much ❤️
    212
  799. My weight was one of the biggest reasons I didn't want to travel... I was 389 pounds (175kg) just last year. I'm 210 pounds (95kg) now. I'm much more confident about my weight now and I'm only 30 pounds away from my ideal weight. I'm more open to the idea of travel now... if not for Corona lol. I don't have such thick skin. Comments hurt. And I didn't like the way people used to stare at me...
    212
  800. A beautiful blasian exists: Me: Waifu? 👉🏽👈🏽
    211
  801. Here in the U.S, my cousin is mixed with being part Korean he was judged when he was on a baseball team that they were playing against and that got him really upset which he felt like it was 100% personal but his dad told him to be proud of where he's from and not let negativity bring you down. I understand that some generations want the bloodline to be very traditional but here we are very progressive in interracial relationships and more people can be accepting of it. I dated someone from India and got a huge cultural experience from her and knowing how strict Indian families could be, I was shocked that her parents were fine with her dating someone outside her community.
    211
  802. 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.
    210
  803. Those kids adore you. They'll always remember you.
    210
  804. 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
    210
  805. Amazing... to be so musically inclined as to be able to just jump into this with a stranger and make it flow so beautifully ❤
    209
  806. Spreading joy and smiles at Christmas is the best. Everyone looked so happy. Those people will be talking about meeting you for some time.
    209
  807. I'm Hispanic but my main language is English. I understand Spanish because my parents spoke to us in Spanish all the time while growing up. It wasn't until I got into school that I started speaking mainly English. I guess I don't look Hispanic to most folks. I always feel like the proverbial "Fly On The Wall" when I hear people talking good, bad or indifferent about me. It makes for good anecdotal humor when I'm at family get togethers.
    209
  808. would be interested to know the roommates' stories
    209
  809. Oriental Pearl: "That's how you make friends." My Anxiety: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
    208
  810. "I'm not considered to be that pretty in my country." I respectfully disagree. You're beautiful inside and out!
    207
  811. Anming: “A simple introduction isn’t a lot” Mandarin learners: 👁👄👁
    207
  812. "people just lose their sh*t!" 😳😂😂😂😂 I'm dying! Much love from Arizona ❤️
    207
  813. I just love Tommy! He's not afraid to express himself and experiment with new things.
    206
  814. I love how you overcome the cultural gaps and make people feel comfortable to talk with you ❤️ I hope to emulate this attitude when I finally get overseas 😊
    206
  815. No, don't listen to them. Your videos are so entertaining and I learn so much!
    206
  816. Tommy is so sweet. You're a wonderful couple. His parents are amazing ❤
    206
  817. I can’t believe your Korean got this good already. You never cease to amaze me.
    205
  818. Beautiful video! I went to the Philippines for the first time in January 2020, and as always children are the best (anywhere in the world) especially in the province where not alot of foreigners visit. So many smiles and some confusion of a pasty white person was walking their streets. A beautiful people the Filipinos ❤
    205
  819. You are so open minded, that is one of the main reasons I watch your shows. I dislike how some people don't want to learn and understand other cultures.
    205
  820. The truth is that these people are trying to capitalize on your fame. They see you shooting up like the star you are, and they want to ride the wave, using your name/channel to garner more views. Please don’t underestimate how loved you are! It’s good to see that you’re turning around and transforming hate into such wholesome content. Thank you!
    204
  821. I love how proud you are of where you came from. You don't hesitate to show all sides of your hometown
    203
  822. "The positive about these polyglot channels is that it encourages people to learn another language." As long as they're not telling you how to learn, I like this
    203
  823. I started to speak a little Mandarin to a Chinese lady in London, she was so pleased to hear an Englishman learn a little bit of her language. I think Chinese people will warm to you more, if you can speak a little Mandarin. She became more friendly and trusting with me when I spoke Chinese.
    202
  824. Your mother is a Spark plug energizer. I was surprised by the number of non native Japanese persons visible in the video. I guess while Japan was closed to most foreigners and tourists for last two years, I had gotten use to seeing mostly Japanese people in videos. Although I knew Japan had now reopened to foreigners, the number of visibly foreigners was much higher than I expected. Looks like you, and your entire crew had a good time. Your treat giving made for a Happy Halloween for many people. Interactions in multiple languages was on full display.
    201
  825. Prof. Arguelles does not get the recognition he deserves, because he is not focused on speaking like most fake polyglots, but rather learning to read and listen in order to consume literature, movies and other works of culture and the sciences etc. in their native language. The material he reads in a lot of languages is pretty advanced (I can vouch for my native German, as well as Russian and French that I both learned for a long time). He does not claim to speak all languages he studies, he just wants to create more access points to cultural and scientific knowledge for himself.
    201
  826. There's a story behind Detroit's Coney dogs (for those who don't know): Despite the name Coney dog being named after Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY, the Coney dog originates from the Midwest. But why? In the early 1900s, many Greeks came to the US through Ellis Island to escape the Balkan Wars. Before moving to the Midwest, they stopped at Coney Island and had Nathan's world-famous hot dogs. They were so impressed that they wanted to spread it wherever they went and came up with their own recipes. In Detroit, there's a tense rivalry between American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island right next door on which one has the better Coney dog. In fact, Lafayette Coney Island was actually founded by the BROTHER of the founder of American Coney Island! Like how Mister Donut became a thing because its founder Harry Winokur chose to no longer work with his brother-in-law, William Rosenberg the founder of Dunkin' Donuts.
    201
  827. In ‘Murica “bye bye” is something that you would say to a really small child or that they may say to you. It may also be a cutesy way for girls to say goodbye.
    201
  828. I've noticed, you do like hanging out with those Rickshaw boys!
    201
  829. She got you with a reverse uno card 😂
    200
  830. I actually had the same thing with Thai. In the beginning, I got compliments. After several years, I could pass as native over the phone - and NO ONE compliments me on it anymore. I went to Thailand with my Japanese girlfriend and she asked "why is NO ONE impressed with your Thai?" The reality is that they all assume that my mother must be Thai.
    200
  831. i like you to learn russian since everyone assuming you're russian ...lol
    200
  832. My daughter makes and sells her digital art online..and it is a VERY hard and competitive industry here in the US. Hours and hours of work and only pennies and dollars because someone is always willing to do it for less.😔 I can't even imagine what the animators go through in Japan. 🥺 Their art is worth so much more than what they get, but I understand the dilemma 💔
    199
  833. Not showing up...is the worst feeling! It's called: "Flaking!!" Sorry, but those people are not friends, they are simply JERKS!!!!
    198
  834. I'd love to say the kids had the most wholesome reactions, but the group of guys and the lady wearing white were so great, you could just tell it made their day. Thank you for showing us this, and the guy who made it for his kids is a great dad 😌🙌
    198
  835. Much respect Aaliyah for speaking so honestly about the struggles that mixed kids go through. Our kids experienced so much of this in the US. I’m American and my wife is Persian. And even though the boys grew up in Seattle they were often seen as “other”. Lack of knowledge, lack of humanity. Stay strong and hopefully avenues like this video may open up and more people in both places will become more open to you and others like you.
    198
  836. It's always a fun day out with Oriental Pearl! This video was so much fun!
    197
  837. I really enjoyed hearing Alicia's story. You always learn something new from her viewpoint. Her unique experience is something anyone could learn from. It's great she got to have a rickshaw ride for the first time. A new memory formed! 💜
    197
  838. US passport is only good if you live in the US, otherwise you get double taxed anywhere abroad and that's a huge burden. So even keeping the US passport as a second one might not be so great in the end. Ps. Foreigners can invest in the US stock market, there is no citizenship requirement. Also anyone can buy a property in the US, not just Americans. I should not forget to mention that Katie is beautiful.
    196
  839. "I don't think you should use language exchange just for dating..." Well now, you've given me a fantastic idea, ma'am. Here I thought my Русский (Russian) would only be useful for work. 😋 So excited for you two, though! May you have a long and fulfilling marriage, and many well-behaved children! 🙏
    196
  840. Please no more rapping.
    195
  841. That beginning section was the best in a while! Really cool to see a traditional game being played by young people together with the older ones out in the open. That's what continues to fascinate me about Japan. The ancient and the modern coexist add they seem to really strive to preserve this connection, which makes them unique and attractive.
    195
  842. I loved that conversation with the Chinese guy that's been living in Japan for 30 years.
    195
  843. As a fellow Michigander, I am glad you spoke well of Detroit. Michigan as a whole is beautiful.
    195
  844. Conclusion after watching this. Tips in learning a new language 恋をする！Find a partner of the language you're learning 😆 Jackson Wang said this too you know. He said, because when in arguments, you desperately want them to know what you're saying so you study harder.
    195
  845. You damn smooth, lol. You use compliments so effectively to lower peoples guards.
    195
  846. "but don't feel bad for him he has a really hot wife" 😂😂
    194
  847. So satisfying to watch two intelligent people have an eye-opening discussion!
    194
  848. anming thank you for inviting me again that was sooooo fun💕
    194
  849. I love how you can tell she’s an awkward girl but she jus keeps going and getting better super powerful to see 💯🌟
    193
  850. I know how to play that, I played that in my childhood in small town in Mexico.
    193
  851. This is sooooo interesting! I wanna meet this dude!! Haha
    193
  852. That's gotta be so tiring to ALWAYS have to deal with people assuming you're foreign. On the flip-side I have a friend who's Korean-American and English is his first language. However, his elementary forced him into ESL classes in kindergarten! So he knows the same feeling a little bit!
    191
  853. All locals have one thing in common - "you're Chinese/Japanese is so good". Indeed, that's really good!
    191
  854. In Japan I rarely get asked why I speak Japanese. It's like, "You're here. Of course you do."
    191
  855. Here’s some tips for beginners (I use these): 1. Watch Children’s shows: When your starting out Japanese don’t watch Japanese news for more learning. They will use very complex words that will be difficult. Instead watch educational shows for kids. They talk more basically then things made for older people. 2. Label Objects: labeling objects is really fun and helps you out. Get index cards and go around the house and start labeling things like door, window, bed, bookshelf, television, etc. Trust me, it’s a HUGE help. Put a romaji translation on the bottom also. 3. Japanese Dictionary: personally at night I like to go to the Japanese dictionary and created sentences. Then I say them out loud. It’s really fun, I also like recording myself.
    190
  856. Actually came over from Nomad Push's channel to yours; you've got some great videos, subbed.
    190
  857. Achievement unlocked: being American living in Japan making a living teaching English to little kids in China while living with Chinese roommates.
    188
  858. This is a very interesting channel. I appreciate your ability to easily engage with strangers. Practice, practice, practice! :-)
    188
  859. You guys had so much fun! Tommy seems much more relaxed now and enjoying his visits more.
    187
  860. I’m Chinese, and I learned English from school and Japanese by watching 9 years of anime 😂
    187
  861. I love your balance between humor and humanity.
    187
  862. Be YOU. Those who dwell on hate are only reflecting what is in their heart.
    187
  863. We will always support you no matter what. Keep working hard as always.
    187
  864. As a Michigander, THANK YOU for showing Detroit in it's brightest light. Everyone associates Detroit with crime/danger, and I'm sure that keeps a lot of tourists away. It's really a fun town and state and you won't find a better orchard south of the Ohio border.
    186
  865. A few years ago my wife and I were visiting Kyoto. As we had a few hours to kill before our flight, so we went to the outlets "across the street". My wife was in the changing room of a shop, and my phone along with EVERY phone in the shop were going off with the warning bell. I took a look and figured out it was an earthquake warning. Before I could tell my wife about it, the whole shop was shaking for about five seconds. Meanwhile, the Japanese in the shop just kept going without missing a beat. My wife actually thought it was a plane flew by.
    186
  866. I live it how Chinese people always react so positively to a western person speaking their language, they really seem to love it.
    186
  867. I know exactly who the podcast guys are. One is the head teacher at an English school in Tokyo. One of the Aussies is a really short dude that works out all the time to compensate for his insecurities from being like 5’5 and shorter than most western women. The other was also an English teacher. Loser people stuck in their sucky lives with no way out. That’s why they criticize others.
    185
  868. So happy to see there was no compromise between a Western and Japanese-style wedding. Everything was so beautifully done. Wishing you two forever happiness and togetherness! :D
    185
  869. This happens to me too. I’m a Juban (Jewish-Cuban) when I speak Spanish to People of Latin America or Spain they sometimes look at me twice and answer in Bad English, and I double down and answer them in Spanish. It also happens when I do that in Portuguese to Brazilians or when in Portugal. This is why I love your posts I understand and feel what you feel. ❤❤❤
    185
  870. The girl she complemented in English looked a lot like German YouTuber Kathy Kat who also lives in Japan.
    185
  871. That taxi driver reminded me of an elderly crossing guard I knew in Daegu. I lived in Korea for 4 years and saw him every morning. We’d have conversations in Korean while I waited for the light to change on my way to work. On my last day of work, I told him I’d be leaving going back to America and he cried and we talked for almost an hour. The parting words he gave still make me cry to this day. I had never received such kind words of praise… It was as if he were a father sending off his child. The elderly really do adopt you as your own, even if it just for a little while. That taxi driver really reminded me of my ajusshi.
    185
  872. Naughty naughty sneaking in the men's pool.. happy you and Tommy get to take some time together and have a little fun . Hope you both have a great week ❤❤

  873. I started to get into K-pop and asian dramas, probably like 2years ago and so, I wanted to start to learn Korean, so I can start to have some understanding and I like watching your channel and your interaction with native speakers in all languages. I'm trying not to be shy with even speaking and went to a local beauty supply store run by Koreans and tried my very, very basic intro convo and the lady just made such a big deal, 😆, telling everyone in the store, I knew Korean 😂, I'm not fluent, but she understood, and I was nervous, shy and proud at the same time, by the compliments and she couldn't get over my native sounding pronunciation😅 so you definitely inspire me✊🏾.

  874. I'm french, and whenever a "polyglot" speaks french, their accent and grammar are so bad that I can barely understand them, makes me so angry, as I am learning a language (german) and I see that it's quite long and needs hard work..
    183
  875. The SPEED with which his mom said there are a lot of embarrassing photos! Hahah I love it! Your family seems very sweet. Please thank them for sharing a look inside New Year's Day with us!
    183
  876. This brought back happy memories except I was the 19 year old American that moved to Japan. I was amazingly fascinated, especially when I had to learn to drive the Japanese roads!😊
    183
  877. I love how she mixes Chinese & Japanese when talking to you!!!! L O V E it! AND YOUR BRAVERY IS LIKE AWESOMEEE!
    183
  878. Found you from Nomad Push's channel! He is growing fast and I support him so much so thank you for sharing his story!
    181
  879. Y-your... tonality and... the pitch of your voice are so Japanese tears in Japanese
    181
  880. I just wanted to tell you that-I am hooked on your content, not just for the whole "westerner speaks Chinese" schtick, but for your personality. You seem like a genuinely kind-hearted person, you make people smile wherever you go. keep up the great content and stay safe. God bless.
    181
  881. the sad part is that theres a big lot of homeless people that I've talked to in Osaka/Kansai (specicially Shin Imamiya) that became homeless after they moved to the city (most came from the countryside) after being promised work and jobs to build the city especially during/after the bubble in Japan. But as soon as the work was finished, they were the first to be fired and they ended up just losing their jobs and becoming homeless. That's at least what alot of the older generation homeless people I talked to have said. And now with new hotels and tourism in areas like shin imaimya, they're being pushed out of those areas as well. really sad
    181
  882. The good thing about you is that you don't just "order" in Chinese/Japanese, you actually have a cool convo with them! Props to you! #CantWaitForLockdownToFinish!
    181
  883. Everyone you speak with in your videos just lights up when they discover that you speak their language. You've made a lot of people very happy!
    180
  884. This looks too cool!! Japanese go so hard! Its a little disappointing here in the US that it’s either for kids for trick or treating or just getting messed up for adults. It looks so much fun there and just enjoying it. Thank you for showing your life there! ☺️
    180
  885. Daaaaaaammmmmm! When she switched to Japanese it was like watching terrace house 😳👏
    180
  886. The hairdresser at the salon did a marvellous job! Your hair looks beautiful with a little curl at the bottom! And I love the dog peeing figuring, I have a Shiba inu at home and dogs doing their business seem natural and endearing to me!
    179
  887. This was so interesting. I'm American all the way but can see the different mannerisms that come with each language. That was so cool to finally hear someone else pointing that out. It's fascinating how each language is comprised of not only the verbiage but the entire culture and mannerisms of that geological area. Communication is fantastic! I've seen how people will change their posture when trying to imitate another language...it's subtle but it's sure there. Lol! Oh...and congrats on the 1Million subscribers...YAY!!!!
    179
  888. There's an American pretending to speak Indonesians. He was speaking to some Indonesians in a restaurant and he claimed to amaze Indonesian people there. Well, the truth is that he didn't speak a good Indonesian. And the Indonesians he was talking to, were pretending to get amazed for saving his face!
    179
  889. It’s great to be able to speak multiple languages and seeing these reactions from other people is such a wholesome experience! I fee like if you’re a westerner traveling to an asian country and striking up a conversation with them in their language, you will receive far more reactions from them than an asian traveling to the west. Also, I totally agree that Pimsleur is great if you’re looking to learn another language. I purchased a basic Japanese course many years back and to this day I still remember most of the content that was on that CD. Sadly it never took off for me, because there were no Japanese in my community that I can put it to use.
    179
  890. They're so stylish... oh well that's harajuku for you
    178
  891. My wife is from Hong Kong and speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, but also speaks impeccable English. She can do a proper British accent, but since knowing me her English now has this weird southern twang. I always say she’s a spy😂
    178
  892. Honestly, I find this way more interesting than a lot of the other content from ex-pats who focus on sensationalist stuff. This really gives you an insight into the culture - the ordinary lives of working people in Japan. Hope you do more stuff like this!
    178
  893. I love this video. My skepticism meter goes up when I hear "you can learn a language in a month." Really bro? I speak fluent Spanish, and I'm still learning, and that didn't come easy.
    178
  894. It's great to see someone showing real people who struggle in Japan. It seems that asia in general makes little provision for the elderly, retired people. I suspect that it's expected that their children will provide but often that's not an option. Although I'm enjoying the content don't put yourself in danger for us.
    178
  895. "Honestly this stereotype of monkey tricks by Western people speaking exotic languages...I don't know it just smacks of this colonial mentality" I think he has never visited Europe. It's completely normal here to speak multiple languages (even exotic ones because of Asian tourism), and it has nothing to do with colonial mentality.
    178
  896. Part of the reason why I started learning Japanese (first self-taught/with help of my Japanese friends but now at my Uni) was because when I worked at Disney, the nicest guests were the ones from Japan. They were so kind when the first words I learned in Japanese were おめでとう and おたんじょうびおめでとう. I eventually learned basic phrases/sentences for my work position, and even though they might not have 100% made sense in Japanese, they were so grateful that I was at least trying! ❤️
    177
  897. I've been to Japan twice, and I found one of the many wonderful things about Japan is even though my Japanese is very limited; everyone I interacted with was so friendly and willing to communicate with me despite my limited knowledge of the language. It's a beautiful country with a fascinating culture! Your videos are great to watch, thank you!
    177
  898. I'm learning Japanese right now and your videos are such an inspiration! Thank you for everything you do! Much love from Romania <3
    177
  899. She has no japanese accent. It's so cool how it turns on and off depending on the language. I'm in awe.
    176
  900. She is so pretty!
    175
  901. When you spoke about your old apartment, that was also tiny, you mentioned that there was no window in the bedroom. Here, in Canada, it is illegal to have a bedroom without a window. It is considered a safety violation, because if there were a fire, you wouldn't be able to escape out of a window if you were trapped in the bedroom.
    175
  902. OH Lord, being a foreign teacher... another thing that you did not mention is that on top of feeling often like a clown in class, you also have A LOT of pressure from the school management to get results... it is VERY difficult to make lessons entertaining and fun but also make sure that the kids are really learning and that at some point they will be able to speak the language and have good results in whatever official exam they will be taking (IGCSE...). And management and parents want results, no matter what. Also the struggle is even worse for MFL teachers because at least the students know that English will eventually be useful... but most of the time they have no idea why they are learning MFL... and Spanish and French can be way more difficult to learn than English in Asia... oh well.
    174
  903. I like how you changed the title from prank because it isn’t necessarily a prank. I love your videos! Thanks for the content 😀
    174
  904. It’s such a different feel than to Canada is. It’s so multi-cultural in many places you can never look at someone and assume they’re not a Canadian, because we all look so different. This is a really intriguing perspective to learn about. Thanks for bringing this topic up! 😀
    174
  905. Thank you! Just because you can order coffee in 20 languages and find your way around airports does not mean that you are fluent in 20 languages.
    173
  906. It's almost the ultimate compliment. I moved to a new country, learned the language as good as I could before moving. After 2,5 years I can manage perfectly, I understand everybody and everybody understands me, but... to sound like a native, and be able to express yourself as a native... that's really something else!
    173
  907. This is great she knows more than just the language she understands the culture and how to socialize. It's really impressive how knowledgeable you are.
    171
  908. I loved this video! Would love to see you interview more mixed Japanese people.
    171
  909. Couldn't help thinking of Fear and Trembling by Amélie Nothomb, a novel about the author's experience working at a company in Japan. Can't wait to see this video about yours!
    170
  910. Your husband made me laugh with is “why not me? ». Lollll give him a hug Alysa loll

  911. Imagine haveing to run around like that as ur job My noodle legs could never
    170
  912. I needed this video. You guys are living the life surrounded by such beauty. Sending vibes to you love birds from Denmark 💗
    170
  913. she must have elite genetics, she's so pretty 😭
    170
  914. “The fluency illusion”… thank you. I’ve always thought about this but never put it into words. The less someone knows the easier they are to impress and the more someone knows the more they realize they don’t know much. That’s why I’ve always been more impressed by those who learn 2 or 3 languages to fluency as opposed to those who “learn” many languages as a cheap parlor trick. Not saying that parlor tricks are bad when treated as such, so long as the person is honest and doesn’t claim fluency. I think most people coming to YouTube just want to be entertained, so they’d rather see something entertaining as opposed to something educational.

  915. I was in Japan two years ago with my fiancee, then girlfriend (she's japanese). She came into a convenience store and I was waiting in the street. In that moment many children were coming back from the school, all together. The little bag of one of them, a girl, fell down I picked it up and I gave her; maybe she didn't expect that from a foreigner, so she felt embarrassed, and I told her in japanese "Don't worry, here is, be careful next time". She bowed several times while her classmates were a little bit surprised and stopped and started looking at me, like, so....surprised Two of the teachers were smiling and thanked me too, in english (even they turned around to look at me sometimes while walking.......). A beautiful and a little bit strange moment to remember.....and my fiancee didn't see anything of that....goddammit
    170
  916. Your English is amazing! Top notch! Slight hint of Windsor...
    169
  917. Charlemagne: “To have another language is to possess a second soul.” Polyglots: Why can't I hold all these souls?
    168
  918. That lady is so charismatic. Made everyone around her smile.
    167
  919. I'm proud to be Japanese😻Enjoy your trip! I will continue to cheer people who study Japanese!
    167
  920. It’s great: after 2 months of learning I can understand a few words and sentences! 太好了！
    166
  921. This was so fun to watch. Both of you brought so many smiles to others even the dour looking salarymen and policeman. I couldn't help smiling through the video. Here's to a better year for all of us!
    166
  922. The reaction of the kids are great but the woman in white and the group of guys at the end of the video was just the BEST!
    166
  923. The Kyudo outfits are so elegant, wow!
    165
  924. Finnish is easy.. I've been speaking it almost my whole life so it can't be that hard :D
    165
  925. I've been a little worried about my seeming lack of progress in my Japanese lessons, because it's hard to learn new stuff every day. But I was a bit shocked that I actually understood most of your Japanese conversations. Thanks for the small boost of confidence!
    165
  926. I heard that In Japanese there are at least ten different words that mean "foreigner," and all of them are pejorative. Most are antique and littleused, and many translate literally as "barbarian." Others have more specific meanings, such as "southern barbarian," "hairy barbarian," or "blue-eyed barbarian." The least offensive and most commonly used is the familiar gaijin, which means "outsider." During the feudal period the word meant "enemy." Have you ever been called "Gaijin" ?
    165
  927. 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
    165
  928. I learned Spanish as an adult and am now fluent (which does NOT mean perfect or native-level). People reading this: The years will go by whether you choose to learn anything or not. Being able to speak 2 languages (or more !) will expand your horizons. That's for sure. Fun video! Subscribed.
    165
  929. Ok, I am now proud of myself, because I detected his Finnish accent in Japanese before being told he is Finnish.
    165
  930. I also think that this kind of content can be really discouraging to beginners. People will produce videos like “I learned x language in a week!” and beginners might hold themselves up to a standard that’s not realistic. Edit- they touched on this :)
    164
  931. Katie's has a strong voice. She can sing. She is beautiful too.
    164
  932. I would add to this and argue that the word “perfect” is too subjective to be able to be honestly used for something as ever-changing as language. I’m a native English speaker whose always done very very well with English grammar. Ive had the highest possible score in my hs and college English classes. But I make mistakes all the time, especially nowadays. I make the their they’re and your you’re mistake more now than I ever did in school. So clearly my English isn’t perfect, even as a native speaker who has (more like had) an above average proficiency in the grammar. I come from the land (and educational level) of “I seen” and “yous guys” and mispronouncing words like “creek” as “crick” being totally normal fluent English, even though it’s technically incorrect grammar. I just think language is too bendy and moldable and subjective for “perfect” to ever be able to be used.
    163
  933. As soon as I read the title, I had to watch this😂
    163
  934. Breaching the language barrier was HUGE for connecting with the inlaws. It allows your personality to connect with them directly. Congratulations. On another note, in the catholic church, Jan 1 is the solemnity Mass for Holy Mary, Mother of God. As always, you don't need to be in a specific place to pray to God, just do it. I'm praying for many blessings and success on your channel in the upcoming Year! Koun o inoru! 幸運を祈る！
    163
  935. 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!
    162
  936. Once in Japan on a high school field trip a bunch of elementary school kids just pointed to our group and shouted "外国人！！"* I wanted to yell back "日本人！！"* so bad haha. But sometimes it depends on how much those kids have been exposed to foreigners and possibly their age/stage in development. Because once I visited Aomori, a northern prefecture where foreigners rarely go. The kids there weren't used to seeing foreigners, but added to that, I think most of them were so young that they hadn't even formed perceptions about foreigners yet. They had no stereotypes; we were just people, which is nice for a change. (I'm talking like two or three year olds.) They just went right up to us and started saying random stuff, like "Let's play shiritori!* Do you have any dogs? Hey do you know what, I take the bus to school everyday!!" It was adorable. ❤ *for those learning! 外国人 = がいこくじん, gaikokujin, foreigner 日本人 = にほんじん, nihonjin, Japanese person/people shiritori = Japanese game where you take the last letter of one word and it has to be the first letter of the next word (literally "taking the butt" 😊) ~:~
    162
  937. “CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?!” “YES, LOUD AND CLEAR!” This is like gold dust mining. :D
    162
  938. My husbands family live in a really rural place in Japan. Whenever I walk around town people stop what they are doing and full on stare. A few times at the train station everyone stopped talking and watched my every move. A guy riding a bike fell off as he was gawking at me. It really is unnerving. This has been the past 20 years I've personally experienced it. Now I say konnichiwa when they stare to let them know I see them staring. Most of them are shocked when I do.
    162
  939. When Americans make the effort to learn other languages, it shows SO MUCH respect for other cultures!
    162
  940. Katie is lovely. More of Katie, please! I wish I had friends.
    161
  941. Congrats on your upcoming marriage. I met my gf on Hellotalk two yrs ago. She actually asked me out. I flew to Japan twice to see her in 2019 and she came to see me in Alaska. Sadly the pandemic and closed borders have prevented us from seeing each other since then. Next month will mark 2 years since we saw each other in person.
    161
  942. They should be considered supplemental and be used along with a class or a language learning book.
    161
  943. : ( that's too bad that you have been followed I know that vibe and it's so gross, makes you feel vulnerable Please always remember that it's just one person, and everyone around you would defend you if you reach out for help
    161
  944. Girl: I don't know much Japanese. Anming: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) My time to shine.
    161
  945. "Welcome to Detroit! You're running, why are you running?!" The transition between those two clips in the intro is the perfect way to describe what the typical person thinks when they hear Detroit 💀😂 I've had the opportunity to go to Detroit back in Spring Break 2019 for a robotics world championship and honestly had a blast! Hot dogs and pizza are two things Detroit does right. The crust of a Detroit-style pizza is absolutely perfect, especially a corner piece! Though I'm sure through this Detroit visit, Tommy's realizing he's been taking Japanese trains for granted when noticing how American cities are compared to Japanese ones. And love the fact even your father knows Japanese!
    161
  946. Upon hearing Jessica's comment that mothers in Japan are expected to be totally devoted to their children I am reminded that the Japanese word for Mum/Mom is 'haha'.
    161
  947. The girl at the right was so cute clapping her hands haha
    161
  948. Aaah it reminds me when I lived in Japan, I'm a tall Spanish girl and really stood out. I loved how people were always kinda reluctant to help me when I approached then but when I spoke Japanese, they would feel relived and talk to me asking me a lot of questions ahah
    160
  949. "If you study a language don't be shy" Very encouraging thoughts
    160
  950. Americans: Ohhh, they're playing beyblade Mexicans: NO MAMES, EN JAPÓN HAY TROMPOS
    160
  951. Thank you for showing this with love and respect. My family is currently living in a hotel in California and can't save any money for a deposit to get a home. The struggle is everywhere. My husband is a trucker and works 14 hour days and all our money goes to paying our room and food to take care of our 2 children. Sending prayers for all the homeless
    160
  952. I'm amazed by your ability and the courage it takes to embed yourself in those cultures. Don't sweat the trolls
    160
  953. Your communication skills are so good! Of course the number of languages you speak is amazing but I also mean the way you word things and steer conversations to make the other person open up for a brief conversation :)
    160
  954. I feel like that person you thought was following you just walked into the wrong store, you might just be looking for patterns when it's coincidence. Anyway it was a nice video seeing genuine interaction and laughter
    159
  955. Loved this!
    159
  956. I'm korean but I was born and raised in Britain, I'm a naturally quiet person so people just assume I dont speak english. And whenever I do talk, people look at me like I have a 3rd eye.
    159
  957. When you learn new languages you are forced to leave your comfort zone. It can turn your personality upside down! I learned German living in Germany and so I relate to this very much. I love seeing your travels, thanks for sharing!
    159
  958. When I visited Japan I was told they weren’t very welcoming towards foreigners, but even in more remote cities everyone was so kind and helpful. Of course politeness and respect goes a long way and we try to adapt wherever we can, but I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly people were, even if we didn’t speak Japanese.
    159
  959. Ha ha - the - 'being amazed at fauna!!' I can definitely relate! When I lived in South Korea, none of my Korean friends, or other locals I spoke to could really understand why I chose to live out in the countryside. It seems they all fought tooth and nail to get into cities for better paying jobs, meanwhile I spent my days enjoying the mountainous views from my apartment, overlooking the Han River. I spent a lot of time motorcycling, cycling, hiking, exploring and working there for 5 years, avoiding the cities as much as possible. I think these days rural Korea has become more appreciated compared to even 10 years ago, in the circles I knew at least.
    158
  960. My wife and I got married in Michigan, but since her parents couldn’t come, when we visited them in Japan after we got married we rented the traditional outfits and had pictures taken with them.
    158
  961. Congrats on one million subs. Great video again. I like the story of the two British-Japanese siblings.
    158
  962. Um, this was very interesting indeed. I’m an Asian American living in Japan, and whenever a Japanese guy approaches, I just speak English and they back off. Works everytime lol
    158
  963. I waited 2 weeks for this!! 😱❤️❤️ Thank you for making the effort to make this video! 🌻✨ Please don’t get discouraged by the your subscribing quote! You are already shining and more lovely people will come soon to support you and grow big with you! ❤️
    158
  964. Even though you were stuck in Japan during the pandemic (I remember watching a video of you talking about how you couldn’t return to China at that time), you were able to find the love of your life during the most unexpected time. How cute and congratulations!
    158
  965. My first time to China I was very confused when the locals asked for a photo, I thought they wanted me to take a photo of them not wanting a photo with me. I always took pictures with everybody who wanted one.
    158
  966. "of course, I only know chinese and japanese" guys comment in english she wont understand >:)
    158
  967. 4:15 Holy crap, that level of customer service though! :O
    158
  968. Your mom is so cute! I Love when mothers and daughters do things like this!❤️🥰
    157
  969. People who learn a foreign language during adulthood and manage to reach fluency are super impressive. Kudos! Sometimes I come across videos of foreigners who were born/raised in a certain country and people are so amazed when they speak the language fluently. But what else do they expect...? It's their first language! People like you, however, who reach fluency through hard work and dedication are so inspiring to see. Much love!
    157
  970. The vending machines in Japan are great, though I once accidentally bought a can of tiny orange flavoured jello cubes. It was quite a surprise when I took a big sip! Stay safe, thanks for the videos!
    157
  971. I am a youtuber from China. Yes it’s really impressive when a foreigner can speak Chinese fluently like you...
    157
  972. "Are you a spy?" "No." That's exactly what a spy would say 🤨😉
    157
  973. Almost everyone goes "surprised Pikachu face" when you start talking to them 😂
    157
  974. Living in Belgium as an asian has many benefits (in Belgium we have 3 official languages: french, dutch and german -> we learn them all at school) and we also learn english, for the reason that it’s an international language: so I can fluently write speak and read dutch, french, german, english, vietnamese and japanese. ° ^ °
    157
  975. A strange transition happened in Japan near the end of 1900's. When I, a Finnish man, visited Japan in 1980's, it was inconceivable to the Japanese how a person like me could speak Japanese. When I visited in 2000's, the Japanese came to me and addressed me in Japanese, obviously taking it for granted that I understand and reply in Japanese.
    156
  976. Imagine if you taught at an American school. lol
    156
  977. Thanks so much for having me 🩵 this was so fun!!
    156
  978. some people isn't even fluent, or "eloquent" in their own language, even a second language that you use everyday will have a point where you don't know a word or make a grammar mistake. Legit language learners all agree on this: Learning a language is hard, it requires a lot of dedication, motivation and lots of time and effort.
    155
  979. the discipline and hard-work required to have these skills is second to none. Really amazing!
    155
  980. The guy at the elevator was not reacting to your language, he was stunned by that beautiful American girl. He was thinking the Chinese version of "Damn, that girl is the cat's meow!" 👀
    155
  981. I love that everyone is just having fun...
    153
  982. I honestly thought the guy would be just a small time animator, working for some small studio with a couple of animes (and even that would've been amazing, considering how tough it is to get into the anime industry) but lo and behold, works for TOEI..... And then....... Boom!! Is an animator for arguably one of the most popular Anime series, ONE PIECE. Mind = blown Props to the guy, the dude is literally winning at life. 👍👍👍
    153
  983. I love how you can just compliment someone on the street and it turns into a full out conversation. Here in America, you compliment someone on the street and they'd probably either ignore you or do something rude. Not all places and most of the time they are nice, it's just amazing that you can make friends with someone you met while walking down a street.
    153
  984. “How many years have you studied Chinese” “Hmm Oishi”
    153
  985. I fell in love with the older gentleman who was speaking Turkish, he was so passionate and proud to share his language skills, thanks for sharing Alyssa 💜🤘
    153
  986. As an aspiring Japanese language learner, who sometimes feel to old to learn a new language. Thank you for these videos!! I would love to go to Kagoshima.
    153
  987. Just stopping by. I don't comment on many other creator videos (aside from some language channels like yours), but wanted to say thanks for the videos you provide. My senior camera operator and I are both studying Chinese and we find your videos helpful for listening practice. We're in TW right now to make factory tour videos. Keep it up! Jiayou! It is a long fight to the top of YouTube, but it is very rewarding.
    153
  988. The hug was my favorite part.❣ It's amazing how children are so drawn to sweet 'foreigners". I think it's because in that moment, they are learning that although we may look different, we're all just humans.
    153
  989. Chinese people appreciate your ability to CHITCHAT in Chinese. They feel extremely comfortable talking to you
    152
  990. As a slav. When I see videos like “how i learned Russian in just 5 months!!”. I always doubt it cause slavic languages have HARD grammar; and hard pronunciation especially for english speakers. Like as a native Macedonian speaker, even I make mistakes when i speak sometimes And I remember how much I doubted my abilities in Korean when i saw videos titled “how i became fluent in Korean in 6 months!”. It was really discouraging lol
    152
  991. I'm German living in Japan. When I lived in a bigger city, people also asked me everywhere where I'm from etc. but after I moved to the country side, I had to tell everybody only ONCE, and now I'm part of the community and feel accepted! I was worried before moving to the countryside that the opposite will happen, but no, I feel free-er here than in the big city! Maybe moving to a small town would make Joshua feel more at home???
    152
  992. This was a fun location to film at for me (hehe) I’m glad I was useful with the Spanish and attempted Portuguese! .. usually it’s the other way round .. let’s find more Spanish speakers in Japan haha
    152
  993. You are definitely a woman of culture, Dragon Ball is a 10/10 on my list 🔥🚀 It's always amazing how Sapiens Sapiens (Humans, the only one race) connect so easily to each other once the language barrier is broken ❤ Have a great weekend and keep on enjoying Life to the fullest 💪🏽
    152
  994. Poor Tommy. Bro just wants hugs.
    152
  995. Standards of beauty may differ from place to place, but wherever you are, nothing is more attractive than a beautiful spirit. You have been blessed with both inner and outer beauty My sister was always hating her "big nose" and then was upset when she got it "fixed" and no one noticed We are our worst critic. Easier to ignore haters than our inner voice
    152
  996. I can order a coffee in Polish. Got me a "Wow, you speak Polish!" from my German friend. I can't speak shit but I passed as nearly fluent in his opinion lol
    151
  997. This was great. Thanks for making this from the local perspective. I love how the mood changes when you bring out the nihongo. I wish my Japanese was as good as yours already!
    150
  998. Right now, I am learning Japanese. I wanted to be fluent at languages.Japanese language is the 2nd language I learned that I enjoy, so I am studying that one. I do know friends who speak Japanese fluently, so I practice with them. It's fun and I love the look on their faces that I can speak their other language. :)

  999. when I first saw the thumbnail I thought Matt was being called out as a fake polyglot lol. I think one of the negative aspects of youtube language learning videos is that so much of the draw is seeing people get that extrinsic validation and not necessarily being inspired to learn a language because of interest in the language itself but a desire to receive that same kind of extrinsic validation. Early on when I was getting into chatting with native speakers in Japanese I was often thinking about what fancy words or expressions I could use to impress them and it pushed me towards learning those sorts of things rather than developing my overall ability to communicate and exchange ideas clearly. It turns language learning into a parlor trick instead of a means to get to know people and their culture better. I think that's one of the reasons why although I have a pretty decent vocabulary and know a lot of somewhat obscure or specialized words, there are a lot of holes in my Japanese ability where I struggle to say even really simple things. When it comes to youtube polyglots, they do something similar where the goal is to get a reaction, and maybe they learn some idioms and more traditional sayings to make their level seem higher than it actually is, not because they're bad people but because the way the youtube algorithm creates a financial incentive to make this sort of content.
    150
  1000. It's sad that these people are kind of forgotten and placed in a certain area of town. The gentleman who showed you his apartment was very kind and wanted to dispel the stereotype. Thank you for opening our eyes to this, everyone should be treated with humanity
    150
  1001. When I need a break from hardcore studying, I switch to Japanese songs, movies, or YouTube lessons. That way I can give my brain a rest without feeling too bad about it 😂
    149
  1002. It's definitely not easy when English is the only language you've been speaking your whole life, but I'm going to stick with it and I hope to someday visit Japan.
    149
  1003. Curious, have you ever caught out Chinese people in Japan speaking about you ? I also speak Chinese, although barely pushing intermediate, and it happened to me. I stepped into an elevator and there were 3 or 4 students in there and when they saw me they stopped their convo, and one of them said to the others "外国人" (in Chinese), and they were looking me up and down. I then said in Chinese "actually you're also foreigners here" - and they almost fell over in embrassment. We all then laughed it off and they threw the usual "how do you know Chinese" etc. questions at me, but it was a rather interesting experience (actually one of them was a Japanese guy who knew Chinese). Obviously it would have happened to you in China, but how about here ?
    148
  1004. The first time I spoke Vietnamese in public, with a person on a bus, they bought me lunch. I couldn't even reject because my language was so bad I didn't understand what was going on 😂❤
    148
  1005. So cool knowing her family can speak japanese to make Tommy feel at home
    148
  1006. The foot bath ‘side-eye’ girl is hilarious! 😂
    148
  1007. You even know the chinese way to reply to complements: be humble and say "just a little bit" rather than "thank you"
    147
  1008. I experienced the opposite. I am Japanese and when I visit Japan I can talk a little Japanese and then the Japanese go full blast in Japanese and I have that blank look. I was born and raised in Hawaii so Nihongo sukoshi dake hanashimasu. People in Hawaii love visiting Japan. That half Nigerian guy should visit Hawaii.
    147
  1009. I identify so much with Joshua's experience. I'm a white American but moved to Tokyo at age 4 and grew up there, and went to Japanese schools. So I don't have any memories to speak of, of living in the US before then. Like, I remember playing in the neighbor's yard, drawing on the wall in my bedroom, and packing up our house to move and that's about it. I ate, slept, breathed, and dreamed in Japanese. My sister and I spoke Japanese together all the time, and I would get frustrated when I would come home from school, spilled out a whole story in Japanese, and my mom would ask me to repeat it in English because she couldn't catch half of what I was saying. One of my best sources of entertainment was walking to and from school, and the middle and high schoolers would come up to me (little kid with platinum blond hair and wearing a randoseru which they never seemed to notice) and try to practice their English on me. I would politely listen, try to figure out what in the world they were saying (usually I couldn't make heads or tails of it), smile sweetly and answer them in perfect Japanese. Usually something along the lines of ”あーごめん、よく分からなかった。もう一回言ってくれる？” ("Sorry, I couldn't really understand you. Could you say that again?") And their eyes would get as big as saucers and they would sputter about "bikkuri" and this "gaijin no ko" speaking flawless Japanese, and usually the phrase "Nihonjin mitai!!" would get thrown in there too. My sister and I got a lot of good chuckles out of those poor big kids lol. We also grew up together with kids from another American family that had lived in Japan for 3 generations, just like Joshua. Guess what language we spoke together- yep, Japanese. They were some of a very, very small handful of kids we knew who truly shared every aspect of our cultural experience. There were some hard times and I did get bullied in school, I hated being told "go back to your country" because my passport country was a foreign country to me. Japan was my home (and is still my heart home although I've lived in the States for over 20 years now) and it was all I knew, and I did build my own sense of belonging there. It was awful when my family moved to the Midwest when I was in high school. I looked like I belonged here, but my insides were anything but Midwestern American. There was so much I didn't understand culturally. I spoke English, but I was not as comfortable using it day to day as I was with Japanese. People around me had no way to understand my Third Culture Kid experience of being caught between worlds and not fully fitting in with either. It took a lot of years to finally feel comfortable. My baby brother (who was born in Tokyo but was only 5 when we moved here) just moved back there last year! I'm super proud of him and hoping he finds a nice Japanese girl to marry so I can have Japanese family members. :D
    147
  1010. This was so nice to see someone else who went through some of my struggles and there’s not so many videos on mixed Japanese kids especially black and Japanese so this was refreshing lol
    146
  1011. "You are so sexy" HAHAHA musta been dying laughing during editing😭🤣
    146
  1012. I love her positive attitude. This video is another interesting insight into life in Japan, thanks!
    146
  1013. 6:43 Omg hahaha it’s the “whyyyyyyy” for me. So freaking precious 😂
    146
  1014. That's the one thing that really confused me too. People that live in Japan but only hang out with other foreigners. I don't really understand the point.
    145
  1015. So much YES to this . . . Without mentioning chanel names, most 'Polyglots' I've seen on YouTube are far from fluent in the languages they 'speak', they're usually saying the same basic phrases to different people, as if they've just memorised a set vocabulary to surprise those they speak to; actual conversation doesn't seem to take place. That's why I admire you and your channel; it's nice to see you conversing with others in their native tongue and showcasing the hard work you've put in to learn the languages you are using! Thank you for the interesting videos! :)
    145
  1016. The way you interact with those outrageously cool girls comes naturally with you because you're such a engaging bubbly person. Thanks for bringing a smile to my day. Your cat mask is pretty rad too like you.
    145
  1017. You are so friendly towards the two Chinese guys at the eatery shop that they were overwhelmed! One of them was very keen to talk to you but couldn’t dare look at you. I think Chinese are not very comfortable being polite over friendly. Nevertheless, anyone would have enjoyed talking to you,! 😊 Cheers
    145
  1018. That man was so nice and I’m so happy that he was gracious enough to let you into his home! So wonderful ☺️
    144
  1019. damn, pearl is just straight up making documentaries now, love your content girl!!! ✌❤❤
    144
  1020. I lived in a foreign country for over 4 years and it happened to me three or four times that people from my country walked by me (on the street or in a supermarket) while making observations about me. I was so surprised I never said anything.
    144
  1021. Absolutely loved the piano work, Royce is amazing! Also love how the lady with the "Vitro." bag was totally vibing to the music
    144
  1022. Kinda nice the awareness of the homeless in Japan has found a home on your channel!🙏
    144
  1023. I really liked the interactions in Hawaii. The Vietnamese woman was really sweet. You're one of the few humans on Earth who can communicate with such ease from language to language. Maybe in later years you can hit on some of the other major Chinese dialects like Cantonese and Shangheae, or Fuzhounese just for kicks.
    144
  1024. What a great video!! I'm Brazilian, living in Japan for 20 year now but still struglle with my Japanese! Your video gave me new motivation to improve my Japanese!! thanks a lot!! Hugs from B razil!! :)
    144
  1025. While this is sad to see, I definitely appreciate how informational your videos always are and how much I am able to learn. Keep up the wonderful work! 💯❤️
    143
  1026. "I have to explain my life story to every single person I interact with." MAN did that resonate. I love Japan, but it gets tiring to do every time.
    143
  1027. This is so surreal. It's a literal joy activation. 😁
    142
  1028. Pearl "everyone who sees me automatically assumes I'm Russian!" Also Pearl to Blonde "You must be Russian!"
    142
  1029. I'm a native English speaker who is very impressed (and a bit envious) when people can speak many languages. I've picked up a few words and phrases here and there over the years, but my brain doesn't seem to be able to handle the grammatical structure and flow of other languages. It always makes me laugh when some people think Anming is Russian 😁
    142
  1030. to recommending this channel too much to people here in Brazil who want to learn English, Japanese or Mandarin, it serves as an inspiration
    142
  1031. Pearl just have the city all by herself
    142
  1032. It’s so convenient to speak a language that others can’t speak in the country you live in, you can always feel safe talking about anything and maintain your privacy.
    142
  1033. there are really two sides to this argument. There are a lot of bullshitters in the polyglot community. And you can pick them out quickly. I'm cautious anytime I see a twenty year old that claims to speak six languages. The immediate question is how well do you speak? You can discount the more extravagant claims. But several of the polyglot youtubers I watch are quite clear that they want to speak a lot of languages at B1/B2 level. they are mostly just interested in communicating with lots of people from different cultures at a low level. there is nothing wrong with having a specific goal like this. The problem comes when you begin to mislead people. But not everyone does this.
    142
  1034. I'm truly impressed that you can speak Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean. These are really difficult languages to speak well. I am Singaporean Chinese, and I speak can English, Mandarin, and Cantonese (my mother tongue). To a lesser extent I can speak Hokkien and Spanish, but that doesn't detract from your far superior achievement. Bravo, 安明！我不知道您的"明"是不是这个"明"，因为您说 "intelligence", 但是我找不出对的字，那就用“明”来代表了。 如果错，请多多原谅.
    141
  1035. This is your Best Video of life for some in Japan. A Home run mini-documentary! Thank you for putting in the effort and work to provide info on the homeless in Japan!
    141
  1036. Wow, you have a real talent for interviewing. You added nicely to the video without competing with your subject for attention. Very well done.
    141
  1037. Take a shot every time Pearl says ''MERRY CHRISTMASUUUU'' Dead... These videos are great. You and Sam have good chemistry.
    141
  1038. Love watching your videos, your husband must be so proud of you to speak the Asian languages so well and say all the right words to make people happy.
    141
  1039. Keep practicing your English. You’re getting good at it 😜
    141
  1040. The odds of meeting someone in a foreign city who's from the other side of the world, speaks your native language fluently and has also been to your hometown. Those two gents should buy a lottery ticket!
    141
  1041. I thought it was kind frowned upon to eat food while walking on the streets or am I mistaken?
    140
  1042. Sounds like a good business opportunity for you. I’m sure you could start a school in Tokyo that would appeal more to westerners trying to learn Japanese.
    140
  1043. Who else like Anming's "aaaaaaa" sound imitation? 😂🤣
    140
  1044. She’s so nice that she didn’t even link the rude commenters! That’s really cool. I think she knows we’d go after them and she’s too nice to let that happen.
    140
  1045. I realize it's a cross-sell, but I wouldn't have the heart to reject that - she seemed so polite and ernest and my heart is just too soft for that. I need to learn not to fall for these things too easily. I'm a prime target. Haha.
    139
  1046. chinese man hears white girl speaking chinese: so... you wanna get married?
    139
  1047. my parents ever said that the japanese never break any rules, and whenever I said there’s some of them break the rules, they just told me like “it’s probably not the japanese, it might be the chinese”. Now I know that’s just a basic lie, because I’ve been in Japan roughly for 8 months.
    139
  1048. This is so funny. “I’m not an American celebrity” 😂 I had my photo taken by some Chinese tourists once and one time I went for Chinese food with my dad and brother and they got everyone out of the kitchen to come look at me. I guess I was a curiosity as a little blonde kid. ☺️
    139
  1049. They weren’t scared, you were 😂
    139
  1050. Nice to see you're still enjoying your time in Japan! Congrats on the master's degree too! :D
    139
  1051. Cicadas in the background is actually relaxing for me and never sound like noise. You hear different species during the day and in the evening around the sunset, during mid-summer and beginning of autumn. Those tones make the Japanese seasonal transitions and remind me of different scenes in my childhood.
    139
  1052. I met my wife of 3 years on Hello Talk.. What started as just a language learning experience, turned into a wonderful experience and a life long partner. All thanks to learning something new! I can't agree more. Thanks for the video.
    139
  1053. I can ONLY speak English ... however I'm so bad at it that many people think it must be my second language lol. I am fascinated by people that are good with different languages so thank you for your videos.
    138
  1054. This was so interesting. My husband’s family left Spain 3 generations ago and ended up in Puerto Rico. Since his family line is Caucasian, he is tall with pale skin, dark hair and blue/green eyes. He was raised in US and Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico, he is considered Spanish, since he doesn’t have African or Taino blood. In the US he is Hispanic/Puerto Rican, even though he is Caucasian. If he ever went to Spain, he would probably be American Puerto Rican, as his accent and mannerisms are not Spanish. The blurring of race/ethnicity/and homeland to form identity makes everything confusing.
    138
  1055. When I was a boy growing up in Japan I heard my grandmother, aunts and uncles talking about Sanya I really didn't know what they were talking about. My second aunt and uncle lived near Yokohama and I wants wanted to go through a neighborhood they said that neighborhood you don't walk through. Breaks my heart when I see homelessness on the street here in the US.
    138
  1056. You didn't appear to have trouble controlling them but then again we only saw bits. Here in America, parents would fire a teacher the second they placed a hand on them. Like that video where you were teaching Charlie and he was trying to grab at your face so you grabbed his hand and moved it away from your face...some Americans (actually an annoyingly large amount of Americans...) would get upset and be like OMG HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY CHILD 😂😂 I legit dont even feel okay taking pictures of my son when hes in a public space where other kids are, such as a park, because GOD FORBID their kid is in the background in the photo! "Omg you pervert why are you taking photos of my kid!? 911! 911!" 😩😩😂😂 it's very sad and annoying. I'll just ask my husband to take the photos instead. Americans are craaaaaaay.
    137
  1057. These interactions are just MAGICAL. They immediately break the ice for having a friendly conversation!
    137
  1058. I lived in Japan twice as a young woman and was often mistaken as Japanese and Black, and although I caught some discrimination sometimes as a gaijin, I actually was treated better than some of the half-white and white gaijin who lived and worked there as well. Some restaurants wouldn't let them in but would let me in, etc. I know some things have changed and maybe gotten worse, and I plan to see for myself soon after over 30 years away, but these old Japanese looking at you that way are about my age now, and I know I still have some really good friends from the 70s, 80s and 90s, so I think we need to dig some more into their attitudes, what's going on, and all of that. The young woman you interviewed hurt my heart. I hate seeing people go through these things anywhere, here in the States, over there, anywhere. Her pain was palpable. It's past time for her heart - for their hearts - to be given space to feel like they belong in their own country, and maybe some of that is just a generation gap in understanding (which we have here as well.) Experiences will be different individually no matter where you are, but I think things can be improved. Thank you for a very real video, and sending Love. You girls make me think of my daughters. 🥰
    137
  1059. With a foreigner’s face, it would be natural for people to make assumptions the first instance they meet you. As someone from Hong Kong, I remember staying at my friend’s place during Easter holiday in Northern Ireland over 30 years back. My friend’s parents asked me super slowly in English, “Doooo yooou eeeeeat choc-co-late?” I was a bit shocked but also found it funny. I think most people on Earth likes chocolate. 😂
    136
  1060. 4:00 It's funny to see two foreigners speaking to each other in perfect Japanese 😂
    136
  1061. Those rickshaw men are fit af. I guess you hv to be for that profession but still
    136
  1062. I remember that it wasn’t fun for you when you taught in CHINA 🇨🇳 but they were young and didn’t listen 😅, made fun of your CHINESE 😢and some of them clung to you like a MOMMA😊. These older ones have hormonal tendencies but they seem eager to succeed… it sounds promising👌🏽👏🏽. I hope they ARE MOTIVATED ENOUGH to become proficient. The language journey is AMAZING 🙆🏻‍♀️ to watch. Thanks for taking the time to share this inspirational episode.
    136
  1063. These people are the “fake natty’s” of the language world
    136
  1064. I really loved you interacting with and playing with the kids 🤣🤣 They seemed to enjoy playing so much! ❤❤
    136
  1065. In China: Foreigners who says any random word in Chinese with inaccurate pronunciation and tone = Wow!! Your Chinese is Amazing In Italy: A Native speaker who makes accidentally a grammar or spelling mistake in their native language = You're illiterate!
    136
  1066. Wow! It's a beautifully appointed and well laid out home. Plus you have arranged it brilliantly. Touches like the diagonal rug and the color palate you have chosen make all the difference. So long as you stay in minimalist mind, I think you will be very comfortable in your new home. Congratulations!
    136
  1067. Kinda feel like he just wanted to get something off the shelf without interrupting but who knows 😂
    136
  1068. I'm no expert, but I think the best way to learn a language is total immersion. In their culture and their ways. Just saying
    135
  1069. 1:27 Hey, that's Lisa 13 (musician, "Harajuku girl" model, etc.)! I've met her a couple of times, and she's really personable and friendly, as is her friend/bandmate NaluchaRos. Great people, and perfect examples of how Tokyo folks can be just as cool and kind as anywhere.
    135
  1070. I’ve had my fair share of strict adults in my life, but Adults and teachers elsewhere like Japan is on another level. I’m American so it’s kinda hard for understand how that strict environment feels.
    134
  1071. I think if everyone would take the effort into learning a bit about other cultures, we'd all realize that we're all the same and there's no need for xenophobia.
    134
  1072. That was so interesting. Thanks for making and sharing and well done on achieving your first million subs. Here's to the next million.
    134
  1073. It's nice to hear someone learned from TV because that's how I learned English when I was a child in Japan. I lived close to American base so I used to get USA programs like The Simpsons. I used to watch them all the time and whenever I get the chance, I used to borrow Disney movies as well. That's how I learned how to speak English for the most part.
    134
  1074. You’re channel is going to blow up ... people love this kind of stuff! Lol keep it up
    134
  1075. 2:38 - i love "eggrats" too!
    133
  1076. I can definitely see he has some Japanese mannerisms. I would believe him if I ever met him that he's from Japan. It seems he's trying to live his best life 😊
    133
  1077. When I was learning English, your videos motivated me a lot to continue learning; Today I'm learning Japanese and again your videos are helping me a lot. thank you very much for this channel
    133
  1078. bro this video made me laugh "there was a anime about a murder in this town could this farmer be the killer" omg I love her so much.😂😂🤣
    132
  1079. Maybe one day I could be fluent like you if I work hard. Maybe it will take 10 years! You speak as good as a native Japanese!
    132
  1080. My favorite part was at the end, he was just happy getting to hug her and she was just happy getting to eat her cake 😆 too cute! 🎂🍰
    132
  1081. I remember we got laughed at by students at my exchange high school in Osaka because we spoke so formally but my Japanese teacher always told us that it’s important to know how and when to use formal and casual phrases because of situations like your email! The students later asked us how often we use the word “scrumptious” because they had just learned it and we all shared a laugh at the fact that no one actually uses this word but it is fun to say. 😅
    131
  1082. I found on my two week holiday with my family that Japanese who spoke English would happily talk to us. We had a little Japanese (Are o, kudasai/doko desuka/watashi no namae...) but not enough for conversation. I've been learning Japanese for the last two years and practice at restaurants and our towns' Daisu store, plus taking classes through a high school night class. We're aiming for next April to go back for another holiday! The kids really want to see the new Super Mario World at Universal Studios, but we will also explore the northern part of Japan.
    131
  1083. I am completely baffled by how he managed to create such a great functioning robot! Btw, how is it in Kagoshima?
    131
  1084. tf ancient beyblade looks lit
    131
  1085. I literally screamed when you said you were Catholic! That’s so great that you want to get married in a Catholic Church. I’ve always loved your videos, been following for for a while. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. You will make such a wonderful family 💖
    131
  1086. I love how friendly she is! She instantly made friends and they were very friendly, too! Love it!
    131
  1087. Black and Japanese, you are gorgeous! Awesome video, thank you for sharing your stories.
    131
  1088. I get tired of seeing people hate on others for no other reason than to make them feel miserable. It's basic schoolground bullying, picking on others who are different so the aggressor feels better about themselves. Skin tone doesn't demonstrate everything, neither does religion or ethnicity. People who discriminate against others who enjoy (or participate in) cultures different from their own should re-evaluate themselves. What position are they in to judge someone with a completely different lifestyle? I think the core is that everyone should let other people enjoy what they want to enjoy. People are passionate about different things. That doesn't make them lesser.
    130
  1089. I had no idea that there was so much hate out there about you, and I can’t understand it at all. You are such an inspiration to me, you’ve made me curious about other countries and people. Honestly I just… I absolutely love you and your channel so so much. As a fellow white, Catholic, American girl I can relate to you so much and the fact that you can live abroad and learn languages makes me truly believe that it’s possible for me too. When you update I get excited, because you and your channel have a way of making me (and other views I’m sure) feel like I’m going on an adventure with a friend. Thank you so much for not backing down to hate, YouTube should be a fun experience and I’m glad that you are having fun making videos regardless if some people don’t like what you’re making. Thank you for giving us Oriental Pearl!!! 💗
    130
  1090. Just following along with your adventures is enough. Unfortunately too many of us have the attentionspan of a goldfish, all thanks to fast media. I find your videos to be informative, relaxed and genuine. I hope you get to 1 million subscribers by the end of this year, you certainly deserve it!
    130
  1091. I absolutely love these types of interactions with ppl 'cuz their reactions are PRICELESS!!
    130
  1092. It's hard not to compliment it. You are so cheerful and we just want to encourage you and make sure your day is good :) Keep it up!
    130
  1093. I'm in awe, that her english is so on pointe and that she's unique in the fact that she's not mixed, but still Japanese.
    130
  1094. When the Cantonese compliment your Mandarin is better than theirs they really mean it. Otherwise they are just "saying it".
    129
  1095. So great to see the whole family together. Tommy's enthusiasm to get to the US of A is really cool 😎.
    129
  1096. I know you've been doing videos of your trips to highlight your cultural backgrounds while visiting your family, but have you considered going somewhere together that's new to both of you and comparing your reactions? That would be an interesting video.
    129
  1097. I am Canadian and have been living in France for 32 years. I remember when l got married no one from my family came either. In your case they could not due to the pandemic but in my case it was because no one in my crazy disfunctional family felt it was worth the bother. It did not stop me from having fun. I stayed married 14 years and although we are no longer together as husband and wife, we have remained good friends. I wish you a life time of happiness.
    129
  1098. It's so cute seeing how close Tommy is to your mom! Having a partner that has a good relationship with your family is SOO important!! 💜
    129
  1099. The world is full of nice ppl. We are blessed to have them be a part of our journey. I appreciate their kindness and try to do the same for others. God bless and be safe. Praying 2021 will be a better year.💕
    129
  1100. Love the intro. I can see how this took a long time to edit -- the quality is so good. We missed you!
    128
  1101. Pearl, congratulations on 1 millions subscribers! I'm happy that you reached this huge mile stone!! <3
    128
  1102. Excellent choice "Kill Bill", that`s badass! I really admire people who have the Cahonas to move to a foreign country, learn the language and engage with the locals, I`m especially liking the Japanese videos so far as I have a great admiration for that country and culture, my primary school in the UK used to have a partnership with a Japanese primary school and we used to share our cultures, keep up the great work, looks like you had a blast, happy Halloween!
    128
  1103. "Welcome to my dark, depressing room" Lol. Same
    128
  1104. Your husband is adorably cute and he enjoys everything. I want to go to Michigan. Lovely to watch!
    128
  1105. You are living my dream. Please cherish these moments that you have with these people, all your hard work turns into this. Someday I wish I could have this moment with my Japanese. All I can do is to believe :D Love your videos! <3
    128
  1106. What the Chinese TV show business are simply rude lol I'm sorry you went through that experience but look at the plus side YOU WERE GLOWING IN THAT STAGE 😍
    128
  1107. I love how supportive Tommy is of your channel and adventures. Another great video. Thanks for sharing 🙃
    127
  1108. Drew, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Prayers for you.🙏🙏
    127
  1109. Her saying hello to everyone who stares at her is hilarious, but it’s probably uncomfortable being stared at alllllllll the time.
    127
  1110. There is so much of this I want to comment on because I loved every minute of it. From the Michigan welcome basket to Frankenmuth, to Campus Martius Park to Red Wings game to apple and pumpkin pie, it was so wholesome. I am excited for his adventures to continue in the summer. You two are adorable together.
    127
  1111. hearing a conversation like this in my mother tongue in japan is so heartwarming. thanks for sharing, you have a beautiful spirit
    127
  1112. Learning another language and learning about other cultures, I believe, is so important. I study German and am currently visiting Germany. It’s something American education is lacking, i.e., broadening your mind, your outlook, and seeing America from another perspective. Thank you for this video. So enlightening!!
    127
  1113. The sound effect of breaking glass on the shot made me laugh out loud, thanks.
    126
  1114. no boyfriend? she makes me wish i lived in japan. she is gorgeous.
    126
  1115. i enjoy your conversations with people, but i noticed the most American thing about you, or rather the most American trait about any of us is small talk. Its surprises alot of people who aren't from the states. We "Muricans" can be friendly .
    125
  1116. Since Japan has survived a large earthquake for many years, its buildings and public institutions are reliable
    125
  1117. I’m addicted to this channel ❤️
    125
  1118. I got frustrated in Korea as well. Anytime I spoke even the smallest bit of Korean the main reaction was "wow your Korean is so good!" And at first it's great because you love getting complimented as you're learning but after a while you get tired of hearing it and just want people to treat you as a local. But it's also because they appreciate that you took the time to learn their language while most foreigners dont so I cant get mad either ^^
    124
  1119. Wow, he even speaks Chinese with a Taiwanese accent 😆 I really enjoy watching videos like this, thanks Pearl! and congrats on 1mil subs! I hope you are able to see how many people see themselves in you by what you do 🥰
    124
  1120. So, your Japanese is also very good. That is amazing. I am currently learning Spanish. I will eventually learn Mandarin and Cantonese. I hope to one day be as fluent as you are
    124
  1121. You have such a comforting and kind presence, but somehow manage to be so bold and brave all at the same time. You freaking go, girl! I'm a woman from Chicago and watching this makes me want to get out there and explore, safely. Great content! ❤
    124
  1122. Oh myyy, in the end when he was hugging her and said that that is his best birthday he ever had, THAT WAS SO CUTE OMGGGGG!!!
    124
  1123. It’s like RuPaul (and others) has said, “if they ain’t paying your bills, pay those bitches no mind”
    124
  1124. She looks like a spy! Only a spy would put Christmas lights in November! I bet she listens to jingles as well! Traitor... I hit the like button again when you told me to. See, it actually works :) P.S: JJ, your gestures make the camera go out of focus. Hands on your knees ;)
    124
  1125. In my experience the Japanese get surprised and show it when you speak their language without any foreign accents in it. they get even more surprised when you speak to them in distinct dialect like kyoto or hakata. gets even funnier when they learn you actually are born in Japan but have mixed blood and they just assumed you were from elsewhere.
    124
  1126. I am a Chinese person. After watching this video you posted, I am very grateful for your help in promoting our traditional Chinese culture to the world. I wish you a happy life in Taiwan and you always a beautiful ambassador for the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture!
    124
  1127. I am bron and raised in The Netherlands. My parents are afro-Surinamese and even though they are born in Surinam, they still were born as Dutch citizens. To make a long story short it is because of the colonial history. i feel dutch, i love the culture and i never expierence blatanly racism in my life. So people saying that beni isn't japanese is totally wrong. She is 100% Japanese. even here if you say that you are Dutch nobody is going to look weird at you, since so many foreigners were born and raised here.
    124
  1128. Marintia is sooo level headed, what an amazing lady! She has a bright future.
    123
  1129. Even more the reason to start studying a language now! I'm glad to see you back. Your message of not letting the anxiety hold you back and just go for it was just what I needed today.
    123
  1130. Like most things, you gotta keep at it or you'll be Finnished.
    123
  1131. Shibuya and Shinjuku never disappoint when it comes to dressing up for Halloween. I love all the great costumes everyone wears. 🎃👻🧙‍♀💜
    123
  1132. I stumbled upon one of your videos today and went down a rabbit hole. You have inspired me, a fellow American (NYC), to really pursue these languages. What you are sharing with the world is truly beautiful! ❤️
    123
  1133. >Anming takes the first flight ever to Mars >Martians walk up to her >Anming: "grblzrd!" >Martians: "Wow your martian is amazing!"
    123
  1134. I like the message that everyone can do it. Sometimes the hardest thing is to begin, and once you did it, the rest is much easier.
    123
  1135. I find that as a person gets older, one worries much less about "where do I fit in?", "What is my 'identity'?" and is simply thankful for each additional day gifted to be on Earth.
    123
  1136. You are such a positive representative of America. I love seeing everyone chat with you, and your speech is so kind and encouraging to everyone. I wish that everyone in the world could chat like this with each other. ❤️
    123
  1137. Katie is the coolest 😎😎she's so pretty n talented !! And the rickshaw guy was the nicest honestly he was super nice n very entertaining 🤗
    123
  1138. 03:43 So sweet she is. She would like to give you a mask.😊
    123
  1139. You have no idea how much you've inspired me and thousands of other people around the world. I know it's easier said than done but just ignore those haters. Their insecurity is so deep-rooted and putting others down is what they need to do to feel confident. Keep being you because to me (and to so many others I'm sure), you're extremely talented, intelligent, kind and beautiful the way you are.
    123
  1140. Needs a better term than a prank but I enjoy them a lot.
    122
  1141. My money's on the blond - she has the reach. Plus, she looks a bit like Uma Thermon's character in 'Kill Bill'.
    122
  1142. I'm so sad your family was unable to attend your wedding, I'm so happy for you and Tommy being able to find each other and form the relationship that's strong enough for marriage, arigatou gozimasou for allowing us to be there with you on your special day Anming, Ganbatte kudisai in your future and I look forward to seeing you in the future of YouTube.
    122
  1143. There is just something endearing about this young lady...she seems to have a bright view of the world, and boy she's smart as a whips sting. Came to find her through xiamonyc. I was immediately drawn by her love of other languages and cultures. Plus there is something in her smile and demeanor that is magnetic. You just can't stop watching her vids!!
    122
  1144. Shout out to Katie for standing up for herself in Japan. Japan has a lot of counterproductive rules that need to go away. They make things unnecessarily inefficient and stressful for no good reason. Hopefully, as foreign influence increases in Japan this will change.
    122
  1145. Bro you literally haven’t done anything wrong keep doing what you’re doing we enjoy it
    122
  1146. What an incredible guest! I learned so much this video. His demeanour and insight into his experience I found very valuable. It was great when he turned into the teacher for the students on a field trip. They definitely won’t ever forget that and will tell the rest of their class what happened, I wonder if they’ll believe them? 😅💜
    122
  1147. Always great to see a carefree elder with a youthful heart having a bit of fun! :D
    122
  1148. Sending love and praying for a healthy marriage for anming and tomi. May God direct both of you together until death do you part. Congratulations ♡
    121
  1149. I don't understand why skin color makes people assume different things. I never have. There is beauty in all humans, no matter what the skintone is. We all look the same inside, it doesn't matter what color the first layer is. I love your channel, keep up the good work and show people that being different is not a bad thing.
    121
  1150. You speak three languages. I feel like that definitely fits into the description of a polyglot.
    121
  1151. The humour and bubbliness of you two definitely lightened the load for that rickshaw puller. :D
    121
  1152. I don’t now how and I don’t when but I will learn Japanese and Chinese (I’ll have to do it after I finish medschool). You’re such an inspiration! I subscribed and I hope you get even more subscribers ✨ Thank you for your entertaining videos :)
    121
  1153. Japanese people: It's incredibly important to learn our language thoroughly so that you absolutely never under any circumstances end up being accidentally rude by using too informal word forms to a stranger. Also Japanese people: OMG Y U SO FAT LOL!?!?!
    121
  1154. The editing of your beyblade fail killed me 😂😂
    121
  1155. Always watch to the end. I think it's disrespectful not to. Love your videos. They feel so much more real than others.
    121
  1156. You two are real ambassadors in this divided world.
    121
  1157. I love these videos—I’m American of Japanese and Filipino heritage but I don’t speak either language. My family was pressured to assimilate so sadly I didn’t learn the languages growing up. I’d love to learn Japanese as an adult and visit where my grandparents are from one day!
    121
  1158. I am a Chinese born in China. I have to say something. 1, when you say Thank you to a Chinese who complimented your Chinese, he/she won't be offended or think you're rude. It's a expected reply. We Chinese ourselves talk this way all the time nowadays. 2, when we say your Chinese is good, we mean it. I have watched several of your videos. Your Chinese IS good and I mean it, believe me. When we see a Westerner who speaks Chinese, we expect them to speak it with hard time on tones. But you managed them pretty well, not perfect, sure, but so well that we feel pretty comfortable. It's like hearing a Chinese who speaks Mandarin with a hint of his/her dialect. 3, I have a feeling that the Chinese culture your perceived is Chinese culture 50 years ago. Forgive my bluntness.
    121
  1159. Being a very passionate person about learning languages to a high level and discovering the culture along with it. When I see a fake polyglot speaking one of "my languages" poorly pretending to be fluent, it really upsets me, because theres so much that a language can teach you and allow you to discover, it aint just a party trick
    120
  1160. I didn't know GORGEOUS DONNA SUMMER had a daughter in Japan...
    120
  1161. She reminds me of Naomi Osaka, except she can speak Japanese 🤣😅
    120
  1162. As a bilingual in Japan, I can also confirm that as far as I've met, elderly Japanese people are super interested in foreigners and very welcoming! For some, nothing makes them happier than seeing foreigners with an interest in their country. They won't approach foreigners before they know whether they speak Japanese or not, but if you get to know them they will open up to you. Younger people are always much more impressed or shocked to hear foreigners speak Japanese- this is partly because learning English is compulsory in schools now, so they probably remember struggling to learn it when they were younger before they inevitably gave up, making it seem more impressive to them when a foreigner speaks Japanese to them.
    120
  1163. I’ve only ever been to Japan once and I’ve never felt so happy and free in a different country ever it’s a great experience I think everyone should take a trip to Japan it’s a beautiful country
    120
  1164. This is because your channel is growing. When people throw you stones, it's because you are a good tree full of fruits. They see a lot of harvest in you.
    120
  1165. Aww I am so happy for you guys, you look so adorable together, infact would love to see you both together in future videos. And I hope you will record the wedding as well :))
    120
  1166. There is a picture in one of our newspapers (The National Post - Toronto - Saturday edition, Page A2) of this guy walking his dogs. I saw it this morning, before seeing this video. The picture is taken from the front and you are clearly standing behind him with your camera, but looking to your right. I recognized you instantly! Small world! 😎
    120
  1167. Ngl, it's a bit weird to see these folks being so surprised about foreigners knowing their language. Maybe it's bc we've had so much immigration over the past decades here in Germany but it's just really normal to see foreigners speak a variety of levels of German. It's extremely rare that I go "your german is so good". Usually only when I know for a fact that someone is actively learning German an I wish to encourage them. 😄
    119
  1168. I love that people start coming from all over when they hear something beautiful.
    119
  1169. This is not a unique situation in Japan. My daughter had a similar experience in HS when she was pulled out by the School Principal and asked her to take the ESL test, when she was born and raised in the US, but she is Hispanic. Sad that stereotypes and biases are hard to to get rid off. Great content by the way.
    119
  1170. You are such independent, open minded and courageous girl to live the life you see fit, didn’t know you started recording your traveling journey so many year’s ago! It’s not easy to master a foreign language and you manage both Chinese and Japanese, you have my respect! You go girl! And thanks for sharing! Thanks 😊
    119
  1171. I would stay in Japan (or Singapore) at this moment, but keeping a duo citizenship permanently would be nice. The divisive atmosphere back in the states is saddening right now, but I am expecting this will change after the elections in November.
    119
  1172. The hat that the Japanese elderly lady was wearing looks like it was from Nepal, I remember seeing Nepalese man wearing it when I was in Kathmandu years ago.
    119
  1173. Am a fan of yours. Learning a language isn’t easy. Your ability to speak in English, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese fluently speaks for itself. Thanks for keeping it real. Anyone who gives the impression that language learning is easy is simply deceptive. Btw I am a Singaporean. Many of us here speak English, Chinese, and Chinese dialects like Cantonese and hokkien. For you to pick up these languages you are speaking through hard work - kudos to u! We need u to speak up!
    119
  1174. This is gonna be such a good one! You're so brave to make this kind of content!!! I'm so nervous to!!! 😂😂😂
    118
  1175. The title should be, “Cutie pie eating strawberry”
    118
  1176. When I think the world is going to sh*it, I watch one or two of your videos.
    118
  1177. The problem with the internet is that it gives people a voice that isn't always nice. Sure people can be critical, but being personal about somebody shows your true character and doing it online seems to be a way for people to think it's acceptable. Keep doing what your doing girl, you've got alot of supporters and I love seeing your content. We get this isn't a full time thing for you and why shouldn't you be able to have a bit of fun and create nice videos for people! Stay strong, ignore the haters x
    118
  1178. You can tell that she's very confident in who she is. She embraces being different. A lot of half Japanese kids try so hard to fit in to Japanese society, and this girl is like "I'm gonna be myself, whether you like it or not".
    118
  1179. Thanks for interviewing me, it was so much fun;)
    117
  1180. In my beginning years in Germany I worked for a German moving company that did moving and transporting for the US military. I barely spoke German when I first started at the job. However having to communicate between German co-workers and American customers helped tremendously to improve my language capabilities and allow me to become fluid in speaking and understanding German. That along with reading and writting as much as possible in the language one wants to learn will increase ones vocabulary automatically. The brain is truely amazing with the speed at which it can function without mistakes when it has been trained properly. I must say Anming makes me a bit jealous with her Chinese & Japanese abilities though. I guess When she has mastered Korean she will move on to Thai or Vietnamese. 🤔
    117
  1181. During your time in Japan have you ever attended, or have an interest in attending a baseball game? I know the Japanese are very enthusiastic about their teams. I watch a game most days on tv. Now that COVID restrictions are lifting it is a great time to experience the excitement and people. All the best to you on your life’s journey. Love your posts.
    117
  1182. its time for you to level up by learning korean. its easier since you know chinese and japanese. nice video btw
    117
  1183. Jesus Christ... I can't fathom why anyone would waste their time, saying those horrible things about you. I've been watching your videos a while, just enjoying the fun glimpses into your life and I appreciate your efforts in showing me a world many thousands of miles away. You're living a fun, happy life, and that's what is probably bothering them so much: They're miserable or find fun in trying to make other people miserable (which means they're twisted). It's easy for me to say to ignore them, and I know no matter what brave face you put on it hurts - and that's OK, Pearl. It should and will hurt because you have a heart. Focus on what's before you, a fun future that will manifest no matter what hate they regurgitate. You're getting married, and the fact is, very few people in this world have had the guts or temerity to accomplish what you have. I honestly, and sincerely, hope the best for you and your future husband.
    117
  1184. Had mad fun filming today and yesterday 😊🙏🏻 the lady that rushed back was so nice,god bless her.
    117
  1185. As a Japanese-American, I recall having a Jewish-American history teacher while we were learning about the atomic bombs. He was especially attentive to me during that time & I will never forget him for it. We even spent time after class playing catch & talking about baseball. I wonder if teachers like that exist anymore. Obviously, John's 4th grade teacher was not even close.
    116
  1186. This is such an npc comment but I love your content sm
    116
  1187. This is fantastic info, thank you so much Anming. I'm trying to collect as much useful, exciting and interesting info as I can for my nephew. He loves everything Japanese, and we really want him to go and live there and experience life before he gets to stuck into 'adult' life and constraints. Your videos are great. Thanks 😊
    116
  1188. Germans already think Americans are not direct enough :D
    116
  1189. "People of the world unite." Most important message nowadays. Thanks for doing this!
    116
  1190. Our favorite Russian, back again with another hit!
    116
  1191. I really love this girl's attitude toward language studies. I have to learn from her!
    116
  1192. Love that they were willing to respect your religion as well. Mutual respect is awe-inspiring. With that said, I was a bit confused about stating, "sorry to bother you" when leaving the parent's home, especially for the New Year.
    116
  1193. yes omg when she switched to japanese she sounded like a native speaker, not americanised japanese, and i was like !!?? ??
    115
  1194. I love these new traveling journalist style videos. I would like to see more in various topics such as doing groceries, commuting, basic everyday tasks that are unique to Japan or very different in Japan. Maybe some interviews? Keep up the great work Anming!
    115
  1195. Hello!!! I am Thai. My family​ loves to vacation​ in Japan. We find the​ Japanese​ people​ the most hospitable we've ever experience​d. The​ people​ in Japan are proud people, and they have lots to be proud of. We support Japanese people​ in their endeavours and are very thankful for so much they have done to support our own country for many decades. Arigato gozaimas, Nihon.
    115
  1196. That was so cruel when the host was like, just introduce yourself. As if to say, I have no idea who you are or what you're doing here but go ahead...
    114
  1197. I left my phone on a table at a restaurant in Osaka, I started walking down the road and suddenly there is a worker running down the road after me saying I left my phone. I was so greatful. Also once I accidently dropped 5 1,000 yen notes from my pocket and 2 japanese guys helped to pick them up before they blew away and gave them all back to me I was so greatful for it. If that was the UK (where I'm from) that money would've been long gone xD
    114
  1198. I've been to Japan and that was so typical of the Japanese! They are very kind and so funny!
    114
  1199. Really enjoy watching Tommy in the videos. He's so easy going and has a humorous side to him. Also, he really seems to have a more comfortable and positive view of America than most coming to visit from out of country.
    114
  1200. When we said we wanted to see more of you, we weren't expecting the beach scenes :-) There was a TV show in the 60s with Art Linkletter called "Kids Say the Darnedest Things" which was all about the honest unfiltered speech of kids, and it was quite popular (albeit, there were only 3 channels back then).
    114
  1201. When I first came into the state I didn't speak a single word of English but after 1 month of living with Americans and going to school I started speaking basic English. After living in America for 3 years I forgot my own language so I went back to Philippines for 2 weeks I was able to speak it again, I guess the best way to learn a language is to be surrounded to a community that's speaking the language you want to learn
    113
  1202. "Learn for yourself" is great advice. I have no desire to learn a bunch of languages to a native-like fluency, and I know that I don't have the time or resources to do that. But I do like being able to read the news in other countries with the help of a dictionary. I also just love learning about different grammatical structures.
    113
  1203. I also forgot to add that I was put in ESL for 4 years because I was just a quiet kid so they assumed I didn't know English because of how I looked and my last name. I actually took Spanish classes because I was tired of people assuming I knew Spanish, but I didn't. I had to take a Spanish test to prove that I didn't know any Spanish. 🙃
    113
  1204. Title correction: I Went To Buy Some Snacks But Ended Up At The Immigration Office.
    113
  1205. I'm now a member of the pearl family! Whooooooo!!! Keep doing what you're doing Alyssa! <3

  1206. Ancient Chinese proverb: When you throw cherry blossoms into the wind, they come back and hit you in the face.
    112
  1207. I had to watch the video again to catch the few minutes I missed and it was worth the rewatch. University is an experience no matter where you go. In many ways Fudan sounds like it was very open learning experience. I remember taking courses where was required to purchase expensive text books written buy the courses professor. So orthodoxy in university is more of an educational thing, than solely a function of where the university is located. I have a strong Don Quixote streak that is core to my belief system. By that I mean, I will tilt at windmills knowing that my lance will get tangled in the arms of the windmill. Ultimately, I was smashed into the ground, exactly as I knew would be. However, as you said you have to know your limits on pushing against group think. I wrote papers that I didn't believe, in order to get the grade. Again that is a factor of the system. I believe I gained, because being the devils advocate prepared me to see all sides of an argument, but it didn't change my core beliefs. It did challenge those beliefs and modified how I viewed them in an overall context. You taking your degree in Mandarin Chinese, put a whole other level on just succeeding academically. The subtleties and nuances of language add an inherently degree of difficulty that you obviously mastered in order to succeed. I enjoyed you showing this slice of your alma mater. It definitely gave off that university vibe. A very fancy and far updated facility to any that I attended, but even I went, damn I'd like to take a few classes in that place.
    112
  1208. Your in-laws are so respectful and it’s mutual! Love this interaction🤩
    112
  1209. I like the honesty and authenticity in your videos. The difference is that you are living this every moment of every day. You're giving us snapshots of your real life whereas the US based guys use a "hold my beer" approach when they visit Chinese businesses in their own hometowns. Keep it real. :)

  1210. My mom was Korean, so I grew up learning the basics from her, and just from eavesdropping when she'd talk to friends and her family😆 I've always liked learning different languages and am learning ASL. It can be mentally draining trying to communicate in another language because it definitely requires extra attention to listening and remembering the formalities and correct pronunciation, but it is fun. I always enjoy your videos, Happy New Year!
    111
  1211. It’s so awesome to see how impressed they are and hear them compliment you

  1212. My Japanese instructor in college actually knew 11 languages, and he said of taking decades for them all to learn and be fluent in them. He also said he only considered himself a small linguist. A problem I have is of when trying to learn a language that no one around me knows, and so it just disappears as fast as I learn it, regrettably.
    111
  1213. I'll take these engaging insightful conversations over the crazy reactions!
    110
  1214. you know what I enjoy most about these episodes? It's how fast you effortlessly switch between languages while having a good time, and you are such a lovely person. not exactly the same as code switching (my mother did that sometimes between German and English, as well as my family between English and Japanese ), but close. Korean and Vietnamese are significantly different from Japanese and Chinese (speaking and written). That's quite a challenge. I have a difficult time learning both Japanese and French and then maintaining some level of fluency. 日本語は覚えられるけどフランス語なら難しい。ドイツ語も。。。母はドイツ人だけどさ。本当にえらいですね！　５か国語を話せる。

  1215. You’re so amazing and inspirational. I’ve been living in Fukushima now for three years and have found it tough to learn Japanese! To see you speaking it so fluently and then speak Chinese too!! A true master of language you are 😱 You’ve inspired me to study harder!! I was thinking maybe Japanese is beyond me, not now he he Thank you so much 😊
    110
  1216. That's pretty amazing that your friend made this for his kids. He should get a dad of the year award. Is he an engineer?
    110
  1217. Your comment about the difference between Tokyo and the countryside reminds me of watching videos of people visiting places like New York City and Los Angeles and thinking they represent America
    110
  1218. You have a warm and easy going nature, which definitely seems to translate well. One day i hope to be fluent enough to explore Japan like this. Keep the informative vids coming!
    110
  1219. I haven't really met anyone in real life than identifies as a polyglot, even though most people in Belgium speak about 2/4 languages (dutch, french, english and perhaps german). For some reason I've always thought that in order to be one, you'd have to exclude your natives tongues, so languages you've learned and not languages you've been born into.
    109
  1220. I'm learning Japanese to watch anime😭
    109
  1221. "Speak" and "master" are different things. A person can speak a language without having mastered it yet, as you do in Chinese. You've got Bradley Copper, he speaks French, and he's pretty good at it in certain subjects, but he has not mastered it whatsoever. I think it is important to point out that difference. People have the right to upload videos while they are still learning the language they want to show. Criticizing people just for not being masters in the language they're speaking on their videos is pointless; nobody starts learning a language from advanced level. I love Wouter's channel for that, just because he's full of motivation and willing to learn more, not because he speaks perfectly all the languages he uses on his videos.
    109
  1222. I hope Anming’s children will live, grow up and work in a Japan with even more acceptance and even less discrimination.
    109
  1223. This happened to me one time. I was on a train in China. I’m a Chinese trilingual and I speak French. So when a group of French tourists found out, they all came toward me and asked me a bunch of questions. It was like an interview and everyone was trying to speak so I tried hard to turn around and answer everyone’s question. This lasted for half an hour! One of them even took a photo with me. It was fun when you are the only one speaking other people’s native language! You become the attraction haha
    109
  1224. I remember my dad was in Japan for the big 2011 earthquake. He told us that although the building was swaying, everybody stayed completely calm and followed orders. Amazing, it would have been a free for all in America
    109
  1225. How sweet of them to take you to church knowing you're Catholic aww 💕 they are adorable
    109
  1226. Glad to see your channel growing! 🎉 Keep up the good work. I love watching your videos! 😁👍
    108
  1227. Yes, this lady does look Russian; very beautiful.

  1228. Two points. (one you kinda already mentioned) - Language exchange only works if both are intermediate+ else it's annoying for both and conversation will end after a few lines. And honestly, it's the zero>intermediate that is the toughest hurdle. When you're at the point where you can go solo through that N1 book showed in your video or just google the meaning of something in your target language, you don't really need anything else. (material-wise) After that it's just about tons of reading or listening stuff. (or talking if you're a social person) No more 'language learning materials', just plain material in that language. Second: you might not be aware, but unless you're American (which you are) or British, chances you'll find a conversation partner is really low. While HelloTalk has the option of putting any language and flag as your native, 99% of non-English speakers want native English speakers to talk to. Be from anywhere that's not the G7, and you're royally screwed. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's significantly harder, the Japanese are just too interested in just the G7 countries and their cultures. Ultimately, anything works, as long as you put the hours in. No shortcuts. Some get there faster, some get there slower. Some study, some absorb naturally. Some live there and never speak a word, some close themselves off for a few years and come out speaking like natives (while never actually being there). I don't think there's a right or wrong here, if it's no fun, don't do it is my opinion :D

  1229. 2:57 rickshaw dude's legs are pure muscle.

  1230. "We all think we are special" pretty much sums up the attitude for the majority of North and South America! I don't personally think that way, therefore I'm in the minority of thinkers which makes me unique and special! Wait... dammit!!!
    108
  1231. IM ETHNICALLY CHINESE BUT SHE SPEAKS WAY BETTER THAN ME OMG
    108
  1232. Great video , I subscribed to that young homeless guy with skateboard and his YouTube channel has really exploded after you had him on, thank you
    107
  1233. I've seen this not just in 'foreign' language but in a rather unexpected place, sign language. People take a year of sign language then jump on social media and YouTube and make bank spreading misinformation. Deaf people easily find these videos and clearly see the signs are sloppy or straight up incorrect so they point it out. The most infuriating part, they say it's their own interpretation of ASL as if it's up for debate. They block the native speakers of ASL and continue with their misinformation. They claim they're all for awareness and giving deaf people a voice but shut them down at the first criticism. They have merch specifically designed around ASL and sell paid lessons but they're not even able to speak it right themselves. Anyway, that's my thoughts on this from a different perspective.
    107
  1234. Love your videos! This one was especially interesting, because it revealed so much about both you and Chinese University life and teaching. You're also one smart cookie!
    107
  1235. Loving the new format your testing out, interviewing interesting people you meet in your travels. You've been picking some great ones lately.
    107
  1236. OMG, it was like an alien had just landed and started to speak to them in there mother tongue.
    107
  1237. I'm realy enjoying this "mini-series" you've done of Japanese slums. So incredibly eye opening & sad to see many elderly living in such conditions. The man was so friendy & kind to show you his apartment!
    107
  1238. 12:34 Tell the dad he won't be laughed at. Most of our generation are thirty-something-year-old kids. That's how we are. Congratulations. Live long and prosper.🎇🎆🎉🎊

  1240. As someone currently learning Korean after perfecting Tagalog-and I am sure Pearl never intended to imply otherwise- this is an extremely intensive and straining way of learning a language. I won't speak to the effectiveness of this particular method as I am sure the only way I'd know is if I tried it myself, and as Pearl is really exceptional at learning languages this may be more effective for her than others. But for anyone who wants to learn Korean, the language is all about steady retention. Grammar in Korean is wildly tough to get a grasp of. Now, this is rather ironic, but as an example, in Korea there are academies that have children getting as little as 4 hours of sleep a day because they do almost nothing but studying. This is all done for pure memorisation so they can pass a series of exams. But the actual learning retention is really poor, because they just don't actually absorb most of what they're remembering. This is the same problem when trying to fast-track a language, especially one like Korean. Repetitiveness is definitely the key for me so far. Pearl is absolutely right with her concluding thoughts at the end of the video. There is no 30-day or 60-day or 100-day railroad to learning languages like this. Good luck, everyone!
    106
  1241. This was one of my favorite episodes. I loved your interaction and their responses. So willing to engage with you.
    106
  1242. I haven't been everywhere but without a doubt the most 'stares' had to be Changchun, Jilin China where I don't suppose they got a lot of foreigners and ohhhh boy did they stare, stalk, hide around corners staring and sometimes I'd look at the reflection in a large window and see locals standing behind me just staring away. So, ya, it's a strange phenom depending on where.
    106
  1243. I love how you break down barriers and open up opportunities to make connections 💕💕💕 I’m learning Korean and you inspire me!
    106
  1244. Only 0.8% subscribe? That's nuts. Come on people, this is such a great channel. Keep up the good work guys, love seeing the places you go and hearing you speak with people. It's so great to see their faces light up when you speak so fluently with them.
    106
  1245. Imagine a world where everyone could understand each other.
    106
  1246. I feel like whenever I watch you/her I'm actually there
    106
  1247. I’ve been studying Japanese since I was 15... and I’m 25 now. If you aren’t 100% committed it’ll take years hahaha I have not 100% committed for years and have found ive stayed at the same N4 level. You have to be dedicated and put in effort
    106
  1248. Absolutely loved Tommy's appreciation for the US. Broke my heart when he had to leave, even more so seeing him so emotional. Thank you for sharing.
    106
  1249. I do have a question, but I will telefax it over later.
    106
  1250. Really liked how you mixed in USA home footage with the house cleaning footage. Eerie and hauntingly beautiful at the same time.
    106
  1251. Foreigners: 你好.. Chinese: 哇塞，中文说得太好了
    106
  1252. As a German, I have a very special feeling about Japan: as long as Japan is impossible for tourists to visit, I feel like an East German before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Only through Western German television it was possible to make a trip to Western germany. Therefore your videos are now my Western German Televison and my memories of my trips to Japan in the Kansai region come alive again. Thank you very much!
    106
  1253. I thought she was gonna start speaking fluent Meowinese to the kitty at the beginning of the video LMFAO
    106
  1254. You guys are so adorable and everyone is so respectful of each other. It’s nice to see in-laws like that. Just a wonderful family all around. Many blessings and much luck to you all!
    106
  1255. 8:30 leave the camera behind to film yourself walking away and goes back to retrieve the camera
    106
  1256. So cool!! My girlfriend and I dream of going to Japan for our honeymoon. Staying at a ryokan like this would be amazing.
    105
  1257. I would love to be you and talk to everyone 😂 Going to rural japan alone has been a dream of mine but still too shy to go travel alone especially when my Japanese is at elementary level
    105
  1258. This was wholesome. He looks like a fun guy to hang around. Really positive. 😌 I was kinda surprised that there were people saying he was Japanese. But hell, he does look Japanese. He has immersed in it so deep that he's one of them.
    104
  1259. I love that you’re actually talking to the locals, which is what a lot of J bloggers I feel like don’t do! It really highlights what Japan is truly like! Hope you keep doing these type of vids!! Subbed!
    104
  1260. "It's really worth it to get out where it's a little quieter" Cicadas: Am I a joke to you ?

  1261. Haha...American and Chinese politicians fighting each other. American and Chinese working class support each other in Japan.
    104
  1262. All you need is spanish and you can communicate with 8/10 people.
    104
  1263. i love how u explain the music saying Na Ga
    104
  1264. I've just started my journey into learning Japanese, which lead me to finding your channel. I really enjoy your content and binge watched all your videos in a day! ❤️
    104
  1265. this was just 17:40 minutes of me vicariously falling in love with your rickshaw driver wtf.
    104
  1266. You two had such a great vibe in this video and you both looked so lovely walking around chatting. Fun video!
    104
  1267. This kind of attack comes from a place of inadequacy. Tearing someone down so you can feel better about yourself, is a cheap trick. It’s amazing that you are multilingual and you’ve moved across the world to start a new life. People are jealous of your popularity and success; the way look and your intelligence. Listen to the people who love you!
    103
  1268. Oh they're so friendly, and get along so well, and behave I'm surprised
    103
  1269. Anming always creates the best Halloween videos because mostly everyone is happy because they're being given free candy. Tommy was lying down on the job as he was being continually defeated in battle. But, no this was a faint he was saving his strength to battle a dinosaur and win. Some monkey showed up in costume, and was green with envy at some the great costumes that walked by. The Chinese visitors were not only impressed by Anming's costume, as they should be, but when she also converses effortlessly in Mandarin. A large presence was missing as no sign of TkyoSam this year. An enjoyable little video.
    103
  1270. My parents were from the India subcontinent, but I was born and raised in the U.K. I have brown skin and probably ‘Indian features’ and what you report is similar to the experiences of my parents here in the early 60s when the U.K. had to attract Indian doctors into the NHS. I felt very British, followed the local music, fashions and of course, language and outwardly was always treated as a British person. I have no idea what British people think about me when we meet, but they seem to behave toward me in just the same way as they do everyone else. It seems Japanese attitudes are simply 40yrs behind that of the UK’s and they will eventually catch up. Also I’m not hung up on personal identity as I’ve realised it’s an artificial, geopolitical construct that other’s like to apply to one another: it’s of no consequence as we’ll realise when we make ‘first contact’ - we are all Earthlings!
    103
  1271. Your husband seems like a really easy going person. I like seeing the videos of you two together
    103
  1272. Thank you for caring about those kind people. The difference is night and day between homeless here in America and there in Japan. They are so gracious and graceful where as many over here are violent, demanding and ungrateful and entitled.
    102
  1273. 12:35 "If we didn't speak Chinese they would take us to the doctor." haha! You must be ill if you can't speak Chinese.
    102
  1274. This was an uplifting video about China. Very different than many other videos depicting china at the moment.
    102
  1275. I love how easily you code-switch between say, Mandarin and Japanese, or Korean and Japanese. It's clearly a sign of how comfortable you are with each language. My bilingual friends do it all the time. (BTW I just noticed around 7:20 that you almost even started haggling like my Cantonese friends, LoL)
    102
  1276. I just realized that I didn’t even notice everyone wearing masks.. this is a crazy time man..
    102
  1277. “This is a South Korean uniform “ me being Korean: :>
    101
  1278. Thank you for visiting Homeless San.
    101
  1279. I can’t imagine the number of cultural faux pas you must have made in the past. But they are all part of the learning curve I guess. :D
    101
  1280. I noticed this a long time ago while watching numerous polyglot videos; many of the conversations were basically the same format - man orders food, locals are surprised, ask him where he learned their language, he compliments their culture, language and the people, then he tosses in a polite good bye, and then off to the next country with a different language and same conversation. YouTube polyglot after YouTube polyglot, it's the same thing again and again. I never really thought about it until a few years ago when some people were claiming insane numbers of known languages. Those who claimed 5 or 6, maybe 7 or 8, I could believe. I met a girl who spoke 8 languages while in the military and I know she was legitimate because she had been tested by the military to work in the intelligence field and as an interpreter for high ranking officials. However, when we were in school she admitted that several of her languages were very similar to each other and therefore quite easy to make the transition. For example, Spanish and Italian, and Russian (her first language) and Ukrainian. She also spoke English and German, again two languages with similar vocabulary even if the grammar is different. Yes, she was a very talented polyglot but when you compare several of the languages, you could see how she learned some of the others so quickly. But then YouTube polyglots started making claims of 20, 30, 50 and it just got unbelievable. That's when I started paying more attention to what they were actually talking about and that's when the patterns spoke for themselves. Learn 30 or 40 key phrases in a languages, and bingo, you're a polyglot.
    101
  1281. I'm Finnish and when I heard him speaking Japanese I said he must be Finnish. It is easy for Finns to pronounce Japanese. I know several Finnish person who speaks Japanese like locals. At least Japanese have said so. I can't judge, I'm just a beginner in Japanese.
    101
  1282. Was not expecting to see BTS's mic drop 5:28 hahah

  1283. I got born in polend but my father is from japan and my mom is from poland and i speak polish and japanese.idc what people are saying about me i know that i have a japanese dad and a polish mom.And no one have to say it's real or not. 🎀
    101
  1284. I'm quite fascinated about your fast switching between the languages. I would stare at you, too - as European
    101
  1285. The usual russian, now ukraine. Although, your American, your face looks more like someone from a european country. I don't blame them. Lol

  1286. My teenage daughter speaking Korean (self taught) to a Korean lady in Cape Town, South Africa and her reaction was the best thing I've ever experienced ;)
    100
  1287. I feel like I might be too insensitive. While I have nothing against larger persons, he does very well dealing with Japan/Asian culture, where fat shaming is beyond normal acceptance. I think he's brave to deal with it and as long as he's comfortable with who he is. So mad props.
    100
  1288. Japanese girls are cute.specially their voice
    100
  1289. He speaks Japanese exactly like an intelligent native. He must be a very logical thinker.
    100
  1290. I once read: "The only way to avoid criticism is to say nothing, do nothing, be nothing." My take on that is who cares what anyone else thinks. Say what you want to say, do what you want to do, be what you want to be.
    100
  1291. This is the most wholesome thing I've seen on youtube in a long time. My heart swells with how amazing and nice everyone is towards you . It makes me have faith in humanity.
    100
  1292. It's amazing how much you can connect with people when you can speak their language! They are not only happy and more friendly, but impressed as well!
    100
  1293. Glad to see you with Toby again Anming. The older man who sold you the cucumber, and the woman getting a massage was a nice scene, very friendly elders.
    100
  1294. It was a pleasure helping you improve your Korean in Seoul with us Alyssa. We hope you keep studying hard, you made some amazing progress and we've no doubt you'll be fluent in no time. See you in Vietnam 😉
    99
  1295. 6:00 haha I guarantee that was not only a word the class hadn't learned yet, but also a word the teacher didn't know!
    99
  1296. I’m really in love with this kind of video these days, it gives me motivation to learn more; keep working with your YouTube channel 💪

  1298. I don't think I'd be able to handle the amount of quakes they get. However, they seem unfazed and ready for emergencies! Stay safe over there!
    99
  1299. When she said "Zenzen wakarimasen kedo", I felt that.
    99
  1300. "I send messages to 40 people a day" This is good advice for these apps. I found most people download it for fun and ain't serious about learning. But when you find the few people who are willing to practice weekly, it's very rewarding. My success rate is about 1/50 for French-English! Also, I found that starting my first message with a small introduction about myself and my language goals helps gets more responses than just "hello, how are you?"
    98
  1301. I only found your channel a couple days ago and I’m glad I did the energy in this video is great, I hope you’ve had a good Christmas and will have a good new year as well!
    98
  1302. I absolutely love how those high schoolers reacted to you saying that you are married to a Japanese man & the way the Korean woman near the end couldn't stop laughing with joy. My heart can't take the cuteness! ❤❤❤
    98
  1303. The way Tommy is flexing his muscles when you said he’s sad 😂. I hope they all subscribe now😂
    98
  1304. That guy was so nice and friendly!
    97
  1305. I'm an American who's been self-studying Japanese for years with very little to show for it. It's really just become a hobby for me now and I don't believe I'll ever be able to speak it. The biggest thing I got out of it, though, is that English is HARD to learn. I've gotten a deeper appreciation for non-English people who are trying to learn it. lol I think you know that you are fluent in Japanese when native speakers stop telling you that your Japanese is good. :)
    97
  1306. "What do you like about Japan? Anime?" got hit by an arrow in the back
    97
  1307. Hello from Sweden! I must say that Tommys reactions to everything seemed so pure. He seems to be a really nice person and you both seem to be a really sweet couple :) I would love to visit both USA and Japan sometime in the future and both have been on my to-visit-wishlist for a long time. My GF has lived in Japan a few years ago and she loved it there and she speaks japanese aswell but she is swedish. Can't wait until the day i can afford to travel to Japan and USA :)
    97
  1308. Aww, i felt the sadness in your eyes when you got stood up. Unfortunately that kind of things happens everywhere, even here in Europe.
    97
  1309. I like the person stranger hug and photobombing so special when people come together like that 😩
    96
  1310. I remember the first time I visited my girlfriend's parents( I'm iranian and she's italian)... this really shows how people are the same all over the world. Full of love, joy to live and care for each other... keep up the good work! You're doing great.😊🎄🥳
    96
  1311. Your citizen journalism is of exceptional quality. Thanks so much.
    96
  1312. I love this. Just goes to further prove that beneath the language barrier, we are all really the same.
    96
  1313. I've been a subscriber since you had 20 000 subs. Congratulations on reaching 1 million, and also congrats on the new apartment.
    96
  1314. Weebs be like... "DETROIT SMASH"
    96
  1315. notice how she is doing just fine with a mask on
    95
  1316. When i start a conversation with someone in Thailand in English i will get shot down like 80% of the time. When i start a conversation with someone in Thailand in Thai. Almost all people want to talk to me. People LOVE the fact you took the effort to learn their language and even get somewhat proud that a foreigner would do such a thing. I shouldv made my own youtube channel and be your Thai Equivalent... Unfortunately for me i look like a potato and have absolutely zero camera presence. Ey... It is what it is i guess. ^^
    95
  1317. Yes! More Tommy, just what I needed. Can you teach Tommy some more slang and funny English sometime?
    95
  1318. It’s so interesting to see a day in the work life in a foreign country like Japan. This are great content, you can mix your fun public interactions with these types of videos and be just fine! Don’t get too crazy over the unsubscribes, some are going to leave after a look. As long as you hold most of your subscribers? You’ll be fine. Thank you for all of the fun and informative content!
    95
  1319. My day is happier when i watch your videos thanks for making me happy 💐
    95
  1320. hello im from philippines, I admire the Japanese people because they are very disciplined.
    95
  1321. Absolutely splendid ceremony! Your dress was so pretty as if it came out of a bridal magazine, it suited you perfectly. You both looked so happy here. The joining of two families and traditions was great to see. I hope you both live happily ever after like a fairytale, congratulations! Save me some cake :P
    95
  1322. At this point, you should try learning Russian
    95
  1323. That intro was hilarious! It's always nice though, seeing how people react when they hear you speaking. Especially in their own language which must make them really happy. The ractions are just pure joy from the others and it's always nice to see.
    95
  1324. The sirens, tsunami warning, and voices are poignant reminders of what happened. It gave me an uneasy feeling of what it would be like to have a tsunami bearing down. Even a practice warning must cause anxiety among people living there.
    95
  1325. I didn’t want this to end, I was really enjoying it. I actually felt sad when you both said goodbye to each other.
    94
  1326. The kids interaction was so cute!! I bet you inspired them to get more acquainted with English

  1327. Korean watching white girl's Vietnamese Chinese restaurant prank in Japan. lol. Love your channel, keep up the good work!!
    94
  1328. your just an interesting person and a lot of fun.
    93
  1329. This place is beautiful! But 200$ per person isn't cheap. Considering how high the salaries are where I'm from... AnMing, please do more videos about rural and provincial Japan. It's so stunning there.
    93
  1330. Just do whatever you want with your channel! I personally like all of your videos
    93
  1331. Mannerisms are a fun thing, for myself and people I know working/living in Japan it's a common topic that comes up. We all picked up certain social mannerisms you get used to, you notice it more when you visit family and realise people around you don't do those things.
    93
  1332. I really like how you made the effort to make sure nobody would be too embarassed and could enjoy the meeting. As far as I know, japanese are well aware of how difficult their culture can be for foreigners and they tolerate a lot, but teaching your mom things surely helped her to feel more comfortable before meeting your in-laws and also "break the ice" faster and more easily when they realize she knows a lot more than they would expect from a foreign person. Your thoughtfulness is really wholesome and should be an example of how to behave when dealing with different cultures. It makes things so much easier when you embrace the differences and try to learn about each other.
    93
  1333. the language he used with his stream and the chat in particular just made me so uncomfortable. It just really seemed like a game to them, but I'm not a toy
    93
  1334. His Japanese is amazing, sounds totally native!!
    93
  1335. Note to western women: you can have colorful hair and still act feminine
    92
  1336. i thought for sure it was a skit or something when you walked by Cathy Cat and complimented her, thought we were getting a crossover episode!
    92
  1337. Wow 😯 I can’t believe people criticize you for learning Japanese and Chinese, and embracing their cultures. I am Mexican born and raised in Mexico til I was 13. Then I came to the United States, learned the language, embraced the culture. No, I don’t identify as American and neither am I white washed. I am proud of my country but also consider United States my home. I love to learn about different cultures and all. I guess you could say I am international lol 😆. Nothing is wrong with that
    92
  1338. completely random and off topic but i luv your skirt! it is so cute! 🥰
    92
  1339. I appreciate the effort you're putting into showing the part of Japan everybody try to hide. The only time I've ever seen this part of Japan being showed before was in the latest Yakuza game I believe. Every country has its benefits and bad sides no country is perfect and people outside Japan that idolize the country should look into this kind of content, especially since some of them decide to move in without ever visiting even a bit before.
    92
  1340. I actually cried when your mom spoke to them for the first time in Japanese and they were so happy they clapped.🥺🥰 It was like a wonderful mix of two worlds, full of love and respect. 💜💜💜 **cried even harder when Tommy's mom spoke in English. So much love and connecting here.💞
    92
  1341. I will never get tired of these videos! Please keep them coming! Hearing people speak different languages is absolutely beautiful!!
    92
  1342. I have been trying to learn Chinese for about two years, and to be honest there were many times I felt like quitting. However, it was thanks to the content of Oriental Pearl and other Youtubers I decided to continue. I am far from fluent, but whenever I meet Chinese people or go to my local Chinese restaurant, I get genuine smiles and appreciation for going out of my way to learn how to better communicate with them - and that's gold for one who struggles to learn. Ultimately I practice Chinese because I love reading Chinese history, culture and just meeting more people on a personal level.
    91
  1343. gweilo means foreigner , normally referring to white foreigners in cantonese. i heard it all the time when living in hong kong .
    91
  1344. 7:52 lol that is not the typical type of interaction that I could see Japanese doing, I thought that was a Western thing, haha. But I'm sure they where cool about it and just being silly. Anyway I hope you and your Husband is doing well! Glad to see you still posting videos!
    91
  1345. So wholesome! That’s so sweet his parents took you to church for new year’s. I hope this year brings you many blessings, Anming!
    91
  1346. I admire you more and more An Ming, you are a very brave and levelheaded young woman. Going alone to China, Enrolling in difficult classes, teaching, moving to Japan, making sure you meet new people, making YouTube videos (with aplomb) and now taking all the virus complications in stride (seemingly at least, I guess you get a little scared sometimes, but that don't show on your channel). Your parents must be very proud of you, and said levelheadedness means they can feel reasonably sure you will be safe, I'm sure they are very grateful for that, especially in these times. Finally, I agree with you, if I'm gonna eat a cow, I wouldn't start with the tounge... LOL!
    91
  1347. Everyone in Japan is more stylish than me, and that includes the dogs! I'm really enjoying this type of video and the editing style. Looking forward to the further "Adventures of Ambassador Anming"
    91
  1348. eehhhhh. So Japanese are basically the Canadians of the East, eh? XD
    91
  1349. I get mocked by my in-laws when I try to pronounce Spanish words. For 4 generations at least, my family was born and raised in Southern California so we don’t speak Spanish, but we have Mexican heritage. So when people see me they assume I speak Spanish and are surprised when I tell them I don’t. I don’t try to learn cuz when I speak, I don’t pronounce the words correctly. And thus I get made fun of, so I don’t bother trying.
    91
  1350. I love your videos and approach to them. You also have a very likable personality. Thanks for sharing!
    91
  1351. But your Japanese is so well Anming please focus more on the praises you get cause we all really mean it and all those haters are just jealous of you like seriously cause you are doing great !!!! Lots of love ❤
    91
  1352. I loovveed seeing the kids take turns introducing themselves and practicing speaking English. That was hilarious and so much fun!! 🤣💜💜
    91
  1353. If I go to Japan, I want that rickshaw driver lol. Great video!!
    91
  1354. Congradulations to your official marriage and being able to introduce Tommy and your parents. May your trip into the future be a beautiful one for all of you filled with meaningful endeavors. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
    91
  1355. Research the dunning kruger effect, this is common in pretty much any skill.
    91
  1356. Waseda University is one of the most difficult universities in Japan. So the facility is very nice and comfortable
    91
  1357. I'm in my early teens, and I'm leaning, Spanish, German, japanese, and Chinese at the moment. I'm hoping to get as good as you
    91
  1358. This is so good, I'm at a loss for words. You must not make a part three. You must make a whole regular series "A New Zealander and an American experience Japan as only those speak Japanese can." It always makes my day better when I get content from either of you. It helps me power through the issues I have in my Japanese studies. If and when I'm able to travel to Japan, I will find a Japanese language school that suits my needs for three or four months or so. Someone told me if I want to succeed in learning Japanese, you have disregard naysayers, and the obstacles that will inevitably present themselves. I wish I could remember who told that. I'm sure it must have been a strong determined woman who told me that. Sounds like something only a woman would say, cause a man would say if you can't learn in fifteen minutes a day for a month don't bother, it's not for you. I was impressed with Jessica when you first introduced her to all your viewers. As I've learned more about her, I stand in awe of all she accomplishes in a day, and what she has already accomplished. She is truly a remarkable individual.
    90
  1359. It's incredible how many different people you can connect and relate to simply by learning there language. I enjoyed you teaming up and becoming a dynamic duo to suprise unsuspecting people and putting a smile on their face in the process. When Anming speaks everyone stops to listen. 😄 That was very kind of the man to clean your luggage and expect nothing in return. I'm glad you insisted on him taking the tip for his hard work, he deserves it! 💜
    90
  1360. Don't listen. There will always be people complaining about something. A complaint without a polite suggestion next to it is not worth it. Besides, I don't think your videos have low quality, they are nice, we can see your integration and interaction within society, we see some Japanese (or Chinese) culture, and we are able to hear natural and colloquial expressions.
    90
  1361. She seems to be getting prettier in every video.

  1363. Thanks for making videos like this. It helps me wade through the bullshit of YouTube. I recently retired and in order to keep my mind active I decided to learn Japanese. I’ve chosen Pimsleur to get me started on your recommendation. I look forward to seeing your work in the future. Thank you.
    90
  1364. That 何が起こるを知らない "survival mode" feeling is one of my favorite parts about traveling to countries where I don't know the language or culture well, but I don't think I'd want to live in a place where I felt like that full time.
    90
  1365. I would be interested to know how important formal education is when it comes to getting a high level job in Japan (Hear from them and what they think since I know their views are different), personally I dont have a formal education, but I managed to get a very good job in a major european bank
    90
  1366. I love how Asians give freebies for doing surveys I was so shocked the first time I got a gift for something that I usually do for free.
    90
  1367. i really admire you speaking chinese n japanese so fluently. From your previous videos seeing you speak to strangers, I have plucked up the courage to do so. And you are right, it’s not that bad and people are usually nice! You are the best!
    90
  1368. It never ceases to amaze me - the respect, kindness and humbleness of the Japanese people, particularly the homeless that you've just shown us in your video. I was in Japan about 4 years ago and in Tokyo. It humbles me to know that people like those in your video were probably right under my feet. Best wishes to one and all.
    90
  1369. i’m so proud of Tommy! his english is getting so good!
    89
  1370. They become so friendly when they know you speak their language, It’s a huge sign of respect
    89
  1371. Yes, you speak each language so well. However, it's really impressive how seamlessly you transition from one to another. Hopefully I can be like that one day.
    89
  1372. Shibuya looks packed. Seems like everyone had a good time. Thanks for giving us content. More power to you and this channel.
    89
  1373. The visual climbing metaphor was great. :)
    89
  1374. I like how you easily make friends with anybody you talk to. I need to learn that kind of power.
    89
  1375. My sister-in-law is Japanese. I would love to learn Japanese because it’s a beautiful language. I was able to take about a semester before I had to drop classes due to a surgery. But it would be nice to learn to also use it with my sister-in-law and my niece as she gets older! And travel of course
    89
  1376. I see what you mean and I share the same feeling whenever one of those videos pops up in my feed. I speak Italian as a native language and I’m actually fluent only in English and Spanish. Although I can put together a couple of phrases in several other languages, I don’t consider myself to be a polyglot. I only ever met 2/3 true polyglots in business environment. In my experience, most multilingual people/polyglots are people with highly multicultural backgrounds or coming from multilingual countries.
    88
  1377. Thanks for the theme of "do you need Japanese" and showing the reactions of using pure English in these interactions. It might be interesting to follow up with the same idea and show that even terrible sub-N5 level Japanese is more effective than you expect, since while it doesn't communicate well, it "breaks the language tension" and relaxes the Japanese person, losing the awkwardness. I've found my own embarassingly poor Japanese helps a LOT. Anming, thanks for your confident inspiring demonstrations!
    88
  1378. "if you wanna talk to someone, just do it!" ,depends though lol if youre a girl and guys randomly talk to you, not always you feel very happy about it lol but I have to say that the way the japanese people approached me on the streets was more nice than in europe. in here its just annoying catcalling and in japan one guy was commenting on my great camera and the other boy (he looked young I dunno lol) he was standing beside me for a while and looked at me while I was waiting for my friend, and then he was checking his phone for a while until he approached me and showed a picture of his favourite french actress? and told me I look like her and started talking to me hahaha.. but there were also these kind of old guys that just wanted to talk to foreign girls .. waiting for your friends in front of starbucks at shibuya crossing is quite an experience sometimes.. lol oh maybe you should go there and just record a youtube video haha
    88
  1379. Too true, I often get these videos in my recommended where it's like: Title: Foreigner SHOCKS native speakers by being FLUENT in their OWN LANGUAGE! Video: "Hi how are you!? So I, uh, like, uh, I, uhm, hang on, err, I, uh, I wood leek be order some hungry?"
    88
  1380. After I discovered this channel chinese sounds more nice.
    88
  1381. anming: "hit the books! why are you watching youtube?" me: "......'
    88
  1382. I believe it’s your accent when speaking the languages that amazes everyone ❤️
    88
  1383. I'm really enjoying this series of interviews. I'm fascinated hearing about Aaliyah's experiences in the US as well as in Japan. As someone who lived in Hawaii for more than 20 years, I wonder what her reaction would be to spending time there as opposed to the mainland US. There are so many people of mixed ancestry in Hawaii that I believe her experience would be so much better there. I suspect she would find greater acceptance, not only as someone of mixed heritage, but also as a Japanese. People there would celebrate her unique life experience, and she would feel more like it was a place that she could fit in.🗾🎎👘⛩🏝🌺
    88
  1384. I watched your videos, but I don't think I can learn Chinese or Japanese. Maybe I can learn a few phrases for fun, but it's so hard to learn these languages. I mean, as a Romanian, I can speak Italian and Spanish (I sometimes speak Spanitalian, because they are so similar), but Japanese and Chinese...a whole new level. I really enjoy your videos, you are a true professional.
    88
  1385. When I went to Japan on a school trip I went to the Kaminari gate with my host family. Soo many memories. It's bittersweet.
    88
  1386. 3:29 -- amazing some random person in Japan knows more about US states than many Americans.
    88
  1387. I've messed around with Kendamas a bit and can say those were some nice moves she did in front of the store after buying it... She definitely level 5!😊👏🏾
    88
  1388. Things have changed a lot from my first time in Japan in the late 1980's. Back then I could board a train in the countryside and send the elementary school kids sitting in the car into Beatlemania-like hysteria just by my being there. On my first visit to Nikko in 1989 middle-school girls were asking me for my autograph and having their photos taken with me. These days, on the other hand, I can walk down a village street somewhere in rural Japan and the local kids will barely register my presence. I think the JET program has done to lot to de-mystify the foreigner among Japanese children, many of whom have grown accustomed to having Westerners working in their schools and living in their towns.
    88
  1389. Dang her dad must have the strongest genes on Earth, she literally took everything from him lol She must have been trough some of the toughest and weirdest situations but she clearly made her peace with it 👍🏽 Where are you finding all these amazing and fascinating people, it's incredible lol
    87
  1390. People who speak other languages Very cool The number of Japanese people who speak various languages ​​has increased.🤔 thank you for this awesome video anming❤️❤️❤️
    87
  1391. She: saitama Me: One punch man!!!!!!!!
    87
  1392. It gives me hope in humanity every time I see people respond so well to hearing a foreigner speak their language. They truly open up and feel proud and happy. Amazing stuff!
    87
  1393. The people respond so well because: 1. You're nice and friendly 2. They're amazed that you speak their language 3. You're a young female and not threatening 4. The older people instantly associate you as one of their kids (you're like a daughter to me) Very sweet interactions! Such positivity! Way to go
    87
  1394. Damn, that ojisan is a real Beyblade master 0_o
    87
  1395. Many, many congratulations Anming. You are a special person and Tommy looks like the ideal match!
    87
  1396. I cannot imagine how special it feels to connect with people like you do! It's like magic, I hope I can learn Spanish soon!
    86
  1397. I remember getting my ear syringed at the dr's (they don't use a syringe, it's like a special water pump) and it's amazing, like taking a bath with the water cleaning your head out (or at least your ear). I've also had ear cleaning done on the beach in Goa where supposedly it's a con and the huge brown lumps they show you are secreted on the ear cleaner's person in advance... but whatever, that was really nice too.
    86
  1398. When you started speaking Japanese your gestures and everything became Japanese 😂😂😂 That shock and not shock perimeter is pretty interesting tho hhahaahhahahaha
    86
  1399. Congratulations, and best wishes! I was just looking at St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo online to see if it's worth a trip to see in person while in Tokyo. It looks amazing!
    86
  1400. I usually am shy when approaching strangers cause I had encounters where they look at me like I'm a weirdo so now I get anxiety whenever approaching someone. This was in the USA. Maybe the Japanese are friendlier.
    86
  1401. She is a really good dancer. Good interview and a great vlog.....as always.
    86
  1402. Your hair is beautiful! The stylist did an awesome job.
    86
  1403. Absolutely beautiful to see and hear. Music knows no strangers , no barriers, only commonality despite any differences. Love this!
    86
  1404. I love seeing people’s reactions. Hopefully I get a reaction like that when I go to Japan.
    86
  1405. Happened to my asian looking husband who was born and raised in Switzerland. Quite a few people assume he is a asian tourist or expat and speak English when meeting him for the first time. Their jaws drop in shock when he speaks fluent Swiss German.
    86
  1406. us preventing corona virus: social distancing anti corona virus-chan: huggies
    86
  1407. They also might be trying to practice their English with you.
    85
  1408. My mom is half French and half Lao. I heard many stories from her growing up in Laos and how people treated her and her siblings. The majority from what she told me was positive. The funny thing is, she only speaks Lao...and basic English since moving to America. I remember going to some stores and people asked if I was adopted since I didn't look like my mom 😂
    85
  1409. Facts. Someone needs to culture this woman. She gotta take full advantage of living in the dream country for weebs
    85
  1410. I’m even struggling with my English =))), English is my second language and I’ve studied it for years, but still, not as fluent as this girl with her second and third language. So jealous =)))
    85
  1411. Oriental Pearl: White belt in Karate, Black belt in polyglot 🥋
    85
  1412. Thank you for sharing, such a personal thing. I see this as very private and it was nice of his family to be so willing to partake.
    85
  1413. A MOST JOYOUS DAY FOR THE HAPPY COUPLE! BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH!
    85
  1414. I am looking forward to you speaking Korean fluently in a few years.
    85
  1415. When I lived in Nagoya, I actually loved the kids. They aren't shocked you speak Japanese, they take it as a given. The lack of a filter means they'll tell you anything (I had one kid tell me how much he loved the movie The Ring, even though the teacher didn't want him to say that). I love Japanese, the culture and the people, but sometimes getting into the "in group" is difficult to westerners...especially in a place like Nagoya, where westerners aren't as common. Kids, though, they just said anything and asked you anything. I even had a kid get surprised by me when he ran around the corner at the grocery and screamed for a second and then asked "what are you buying?". So yeah, I really enjoyed when I got to teach classes (as a part time job, I went to school, as well).
    85
  1416. it's hard to get straight answers from adults because they try their best to answer something which doesn't offend you, while kids just say whatever that pops in their head, because well, they're kids. 😂
    84
  1417. London and the rest of Britain are different. I wouldn't recommend anyone live in London unless they had to for work. Also British people are reserved and don't really interact with strangers (unless drunk), we are friendly once you get to know us, we have weird sense of humour, we like to form a queue, we like to talk about the weather, we like roast dinner and fish & chips, we are accepting of other cultures, we like to be polite and say sorry a lot
    84
  1418. It's amazing how people open up to you when you speak their language. I'm Dutch and I've been living in Peru for the last two years, learning some Spanish. When you're in another country, the locals will respect you more (and scam you less) if you speak their language, for sure. ¡Buenas noches desde Perú!
    84
  1419. When she learned that our elder son was engaged to a Korean lady, one of our friends proudly showed pictures of her Chinese-American grandchildren and said, "See what great-looking grandkids you're going to get!" One of my students told me that my grandsons were the cutest little boys she had seen. My future second daughter-in-law is Lebanese, and we are enjoying those cross-cultural enrichments, as well. Best wishes to you both!
    84
  1420. I wonder how many times he's heard キモい from Japanese girls...
    84
  1421. My fave part was when you were hanging out in the kitchen with your roommates and chilling with them.
    84
  1422. I didn't know the Japanese people could dance 'till today 🙃
    84
  1423. Your mom rocks, to me, she’s looks like your older sister!❤️
    84
  1424. Yes!...Anming finally got reverse-pranked! :D
    84
  1425. You are always so cute and adorable. Calms my heart watching people like you.
    84
  1426. I'm English and learning Spanish and finding it difficult. The Spanish use the Roman alphabet and many of the words are very similar in English because of a lot of Latin in both languages. This lady is I suspect not just a hard worker when it comes to learning languages but also very gifted. Also very watchable 🥰
    84
  1427. Chinese is not my target language but I watched the whole damn thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is IT!! you and JJ are lang goals for sure 🥺❤️
    84
  1428. Aww the lady’s at the nail shop were so sweet
    84
  1429. You'd almost start studying Mandarin just by seeing this.
    83
  1430. I’ve been “studying” Japanese for 22 years. I watch anime, movies and read and listen to books in Japanese. But I can’t keep up with a normal conversation in Japanese. I’m sure that’ll change quick if I could stay in Japan for a while. But I can’t afford that. I can get by in many languages but I’m not the definition of a polyglot. These YouTubers are cute to watch but I feel so bad for their “victims” lol 😅
    83
  1431. Respect the Japanese for taking pride with whatever jobs they undertake, for example, their sale personal appear much more professional compare to my home country. These rickshaw riders are such enthusiastic lots, Will give it a ride from them next time when I visit Japan. Thanks
    83
  1432. Wow, John absolutely needs to make a YouTube channel! I would love to learn more from him and see him interact with more people in such a positive way!
    83
  1433. I love your videos! I can relate with you as a fellow polyglot being fluent in English, German, Italian, and Swedish. Switching between languages is so fun and always brings a smile to those who least expect it.
    83
  1434. Popsicle I would say is American English. In the UK we'd say "Ice Lolly" - with "Lolly" being short for "Lollipop". :) Popsicle sounds very American to me. :) Not sure if "Lolly" would cause some amusement... being the same pronunciation as "Loli" i.e. "Lolita" in Japan. :) Also, a stroller in British English would probably be "pushchair" for a sit-down style stroller and "pram" (short for "perambulator") for the "laying down" style. I can understand the packaging... It's to stop the murder-hornets getting inside. :D
    83
  1435. Andre: She was cool. She was cool. Me: Of course she was cool! That’s *Anming*!
    83
  1436. 4:22 spreading peace. "people of the world unite" Just beautiful.!
    83
  1437. My experience after three months living in Japan is that when I go to bigger cities people will just ignore me. However, I live in a small city and I do get some stares which don't bother me at all. As you mentioned in the video, I feel that the more rural the area the more attention I will get.
    82
  1438. 2:57 that boy totally wanted to talk to you guys but he just never had the timing 😔✊🏼 f in the chat
    82
  1439. It's so great watching him, I'm in stiches he is adorable. I'm so happy you kept going with your channel. You deserve all the success and happiness. Congratulations again ‼️
    82
  1440. Here’s to 1 Million Subscribers before the end of the year! We can do it, anything is possible. It’s a joy you were able to go to Taiwan. I never knew so many Japanese visited and even went to University in Taiwan. I hope he’s successful on his studies and the girl too in Seattle. It’s interesting how you always seem to find language learners like you wherever you go. The law of attraction I suppose? 😅 I hope you enjoyed your trip and all the memories you made along the way 💜
    82
  1441. I thought, "Is Anming really complementing a Japanese women on her Chinese language skills?" The whole exchanged seemed so amusing because of the circumstances. Fun video.
    82
  1442. AnMing is always such an easy-going, nice and friendly lady, never take things too hard; there will always be some nice people out there. Take care and stay safe!
    82
  1443. Hello, random comment about the history of the word Yankee. Yankee originally comes from the dutch name Janke or a combination of the names Jan and Kees. Originally used as a term for dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (now New York), later also became used for people from that area. Depending on your views of the city, this might be interpreted positively or negatively. The Japanese took over this term, applying it to people from the US at first, but later skewed the meaning of the word to associate with freedom, and thereby in a way misbehaving by not considering for others.
    82
  1444. I'm probably a quintessential IT person. Long time ago I worked at a very traditional/successful Japanese IT company: NTT Data. I even lived in a company dormitory (6 tatami mat room) In the US - I had several IT related jobs - e.g. worked at Microsoft - got an MBA - and did some intense things. Now I work at a fortune 100 company doing Azure transformations in b2b stock/bond/derivative trading platform. Get sanity working as a part-time yoga teacher :-) Yes - salary is a big difference between Japan/US (but in Japan a company can pay living expenses - but it still does not compare). You are correct - given Japan's demand for IT resources - foreigners must come on. I'd say Indians can fill the gap. But as you know, there is cultural stigma. One thing I hope Japan can open itself for - is the creation of a culture where innovative companies can flourish. However, in this regard: USA > China > Japan. Perhaps after WW2 Japan threw away all cultural barriers in the trash, put their noses to the grindstone, and became the second largest economy in the world. What happened? This is a good question - and I have my theories. Japan's economy is still quite large (3rd) - but MITI should consider turning some knobs to unleash the potential that is within the Japanese heart. We witnessed this after WW2. But I think they are too comfortable to do this today.

  1445. I'm honestly surprised by her English because when you are born and raised in another country you tend not to use another language much. I'm glad she learned it though, being bilingual opens up a lot doors.
    82
  1446. You should hang out with that guy more often, when you have time, he brings a different perspective than most others. Keep up the good work 👍👍 ☮️
    82
  1447. with your knowledge of the language and culture this channel has unlimited potential! i love the different aspects of Japan.
    82
  1448. Kudos to you Anming You’re really a beam of sunshine in this ever dividing world. You show us that we are capable of getting along together no matter of our origin or culture.
    82
  1449. as someone who speaks cantonese, i'm so happy that you're learning! excited to see your progress 😊
    82
  1450. What an awesome message. "We're all kind of saying the same things." I don't know why but that really affected me. 😅
    81
  1451. Welcome back! You and your boyfriend are so adorable together and what a beautiful village. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
    81
  1452. it’s really refreshing to see you learn the languages of places you visit. in recent years korea has become extremely popular with english speaking tourists and on a couple of occasions i’ve heard them complain that no one speaks english .. in korea .. and my friend works at a store where she’s had quite rude interactions because she couldn’t understand what the foreign customer wanted and they got kinda mad at her! so it’s nice to hear you put the effort in to be able to communicate with the people who’s country that you are in
    81
  1453. Anming makes another journey into the unseen world of Japan's homeless, but this time in Osaka. As usual your attitude and style combined with your proficiency in Japanese, cause people to willing interact with you. Thus you are able to gain access to a world that most people simply don't notice. As you indicated it is not really hidden, but the average tourist would walk past it not realizing what they are actually seeing. I only spent a couple days in Osaka and I may have been one of oblivious tourists who didn't comprehend, what they were really seeing. Quite bluntly hidden in plain sight. Your ability to interpret what you are viewing and learning about an issue that most cities and governments never really want to confront, and definitely don't advertise. Thanks for this peak behind the curtain of another aspect of life in Japan.
    81
  1454. "NEXT HUSBAND IS ME" got my dying
    81
  1455. I'm not big on Chistmas stuff, but this was really cool. So fun & light-hearted. Thank You! 😊❤
    81
  1456. How do you know for sure she was following you? All she did was get on the same elevator but didn’t follow you after that
    81
  1457. 1:06 😂😂😂 “Don’t you see?” “No I don’t see”
    81
  1458. AOMORI PRINCESS-- OMG THATS SO ADORABL 😭
    81
  1459. Friend zone level: 99 LOLOLOL
    81
  1460. Your Mandarin is quite good. I tried to learn but let’s just say I’m not a very good learner lol I like the dumpling making moment. Seems very therapeutic and relaxing to me. 🙌💯🥟😋
    81
  1461. Watching this is so cool for me. About 8 years ago I went to Japan and travelled from Tokyo to Osaka by bike, only knowing a little Japanese. It was the best time of my life and I met so many nice people. Everybody offered me their help wherever I went, even if it was on the countryside and even though I couldn't really talk Japanese and English wasn't an option, either. Thanks for giving me this nostalgic feeling! :D
    81
  1462. I love how even though you're American, you've been in East Asia for so long, submerged in their languages, that you've developed a bit of an accent :)
    81
  1463. This was so cool and interesting too watch, and it’s awesome that they did this just to make people smile
    80
  1464. It's always interesting to see interactions like this or even experience them. I'm glad you can share these moments with us as well. Were those two women mention something negative? Your confidence too when you stood your ground in three different languages and I am sure they will never forget that. Haha It's definitely apart of their long term memory for sure. also, love your makeup! The mascara and eyeliner really make your eyes pop.
    80
  1465. As a polyglot myself, fluent in 6 languages I don't like people who claim to speak a certain language when they only learn some sentences by heart and then spit them out to people on the street without any context. I've heard Walter saying things like "burrito, guacamole, fiesta, yo hablo poquito espanol" and then pretending he knows how to speak spanish.
    80
  1466. I really enjoy seeing the "behind the scenes" aspect of making an entertaining and informative video. You do an awesome job! I feel as if most people will hold a reserve to thier reaction because they have been taught to remain respectful and silent. No matter how impressed they are with you.
    80
  1467. Thanks so much for having me on!
    80
  1468. I admire your bravery just walking up to people and chatting. Thanks for the videos and inspiration to learn an Asian language
    80
  1469. (1:07) Your friend said "Gwai Lou 鬼佬" that is Cantonese.
    80
  1470. It's been my experience that Turks tend to be absolutely flabbergasted when a foreigner speaks to them in fluent Turkish (I'm American, but grew up in Turkey). There were times when I thought my interlocutor was having a stroke.
    80
  1471. Bro all those haters are literally SO jealous. They see a person who can speak multiple languages and get extremely jealous that they can’t do what you do! YOURE ALSO SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE OML HOW COULD SOMEONE EVEN THINK THAT?? The haters are so funny lol. Just continue doing your thing queen!!!
    80
  1472. I'm shocked that the homeless population of Japan is as tiny as it is. And aren't there many older people who are more 'familyless' than homeless and suffering from severe social isolation? Thank you for the video!
    80
  1473. So glad you interviewed Robin for this. I instantly subscribed to his channel and I've been going through all of his videos. With your help his subscriptions skyrocketed and he's on his way to monetization. Thank you so much!
    80
  1474. He's referring to a slang used in China that is a derogatory term for White people. Gweilo. You'll chime in here saying it's not an offensive word because the people sponsoring your channel wouldn't want that...but you know what the word is and what it means.
    80
  1475. It is sad that people are not allowed to share their cultures anymore without somebody slinging this buzzword. As long nobody is mocking the culture there is no problem. But you have a problem when people use "cultural appropriation" as a tool to abuse people with it and shame them. These acts are cruel and seperate people instead of uniting them and lead only to more hate and friction between people.
    80
  1476. I think it's a good thing both parents spoke their original languages to her as she was growing up. That is one of the best and easiest ways to become bi-lingual, in my opinion.
    80
  1477. You both look like models, I am not kidding. Such a beautiful wedding! Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us :) Edit: You should talk Tommy into doing modeling or acting (if he isn't already)!
    79
  1478. Fun fact: Getting the spinning top to bounce onto the ground is like ten times more difficult than just keeping it in the container. So well done! :D
    79
  1479. I really enjoyed your honest, informed conversation. There is that predatory gurus problem in many fields, not just in languages teaching.
    79
  1480. I love how you even have the "no, no, im not." That is such an Asian reaction... I think in the states if someone compliments us we say thank you and don't dispute. So impressive! Thanks for showing us!
    79
  1481. It didn’t seem like the old lady was trying to follow you from my view. Maybe she was a little bit attracted by your tremendous Chinese.
    79
  1482. Ambassador Anming introducing us to new and interesting people. Katie is lovely and I hope we get to see more of her in the future. Nice editing on the opening dance sequence as well. You are really progressing as a vlogger/ambassador. Looking forward to the next video.
    79
  1483. My literal neighbor!!! I would have absolutely been beaming with joy to have seen you guys!! I am so happy that you were able to come home and able to bring your husband with you! Vernors and Frankenmuth are so Michigan it is no joke!!! Thank you so so much for this video, it was such a treat!!! It gave me ear to ear smiles knowing that a fellow Michigander was able to bring her Japanese husband here to experience this beautiful state!!! Thank you for it!!!
    79
  1484. Amazing video Oriental Pearl and finally we get to see your parents can't wait for the next video when both of the parents meet each other👍😃
    79
  1485. I had the biggest smile on my face watching this! His excitement and awe was so wholesome! It’s so fun watching people experience where you’re from or things you grew up with and enjoy it. 🥰🥰
    79
  1486. dude your pure evil setting his mum on him like that it's funny though🤣🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈🤣🤣🤣
    79
  1487. I am going to Waseda Uni to start my master program this September after I graduate from my current university in the UK. I am really looking forward to life in Waseda!
    79
  1488. This was an interesting video. You often find area's of Japanese culture that don't usually get reported. This guy has his own style and doesn't try to conform to meet peoples expectations. Based on this video, I don't think he would be any different in the states than he is in Japan. He does his thing, and projects a take it or leave it persona. Another great episode, your content doesn't disappoint.
    78
  1489. You can tell that obaasan wanted to talk to you - she seemed so happy to share information with you. Something I loved in Japan was when people wanted to teach me something, like about a place, or an event, or food or whatever I was unfamiliar with or unaware of! I will say the vast majority of my experiences and interactions in Japan were positive. I think youtubers who share about negative interactions do so because maybe those experience stood out really strongly to them because it might’ve caught them off guard/become an unsettling memory BUT it is sad that we sometimes let a couple negative experiences overshadow the vast majority of really wonderful, positive experiences or interactions we have had, or we allow it to take up any space in our head at all. Anyway, I always admire how bold, open, and friendly you are! I’m shy, even at 35 😅😅😅 I live in the US now where most people speak English and I STILL have trouble just going up to people and talking to them! I have no excuse…
    78
  1490. I’m Japanese here and have recently tried western traditional archery! It’s interesting to see how different they are, yet there are some similarities (from my noob perspective ). Great video!
    78
  1491. The other thing is: he's too chatty and smiley to be a real Finn. Imposter!! ;^> If you guys were jabbering like that on Helsinki public transport you'd get a lot of icy glares. LOL!
    78
  1492. It's really cool how people seem to gather around you in honest curiosity! It's so nice to see how positive people are about others learning their language. I hadn't seen one of my Japanese friends for a while, and when I said like one word in Japanese, she jumped and gasped. She said she hadn't heard my Japanese for a while, and was very happy to hear it again. It was really touching, especially since she's been helping me learn :)
    78
  1493. I love her positivity. She has such a cute personality! :D
    78
  1494. I am tremendously impressed by this young lady's linguistic achievements. Oh, and she is also so utterly, irresistibly nice!
    78
  1495. Wow, you should be working for the US Department of State, not just because of your awesome language skills, but because of your ability to connect to the individuals in these nations. I speak three languages myself, but it is not an easy process. You make it seem effortless with your excellent rapport and grasp of dialects.
    78
  1496. In Kyudo, it is actually very normal for even highly trained practitioners to miss the target. The bow and arrow used in Kyudo are not actually made with accuracy/hitting a target in mind because it is more about your form and the action of shooting the bow than "I must hit the target". Anyone who can hit a target even fairly consistently is very good at it.
    78
  1497. If someone was talking about me or someone I knew in another language thinking I couldn’t understand , I would engage them in conversation and let them know I understand. I wouldn’t be rude about it of course, but I do think it’s a bit rude to talk about people in this way. Hopefully it would teach then a lesson for next time. This happens to me quite often as a bilingual African American woman. I learned Spanish on my own and I’m fluent now after 6 years of constant studying. I’ve caught people speaking about me, thankfully nothing bad, but still , it always rubs me the wrong way. I just politely say “I understand that” and we have a laugh about it Thank you for all you do. You’ve inspired me to start learning Japanese and seeing your dedication keeps me going. Good luck in your Vietnamese studies. I’m sure you will do great .
    78
  1498. No se como llegue aca pero le dejo mi like
    78
  1499. “I hope everyone will study Chinese together and work hard. And understand our Country’s wonderful culture” my favorite part. Awesome video and great idea for the intro and context! Loved this one.
    77
  1500. "Do you have a Boyfriend?" "I have a Husband" "NAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" that was epic!!
    77
  1501. I'm British and live in the UK. If a Chinese person walked up to me and started speaking fluent English I probably wouldn't even think twice about it. No one would be shocked and amazed because so many countries speak English as a second language, it isn't unusual and it is taken for granted. I love this connection over languages though, I have noticed a lot of Ukrainians moving to my town since the war started so I'm thinking of starting to learn a little bit to make them feel more welcome and perhaps brighten their day!
    77
  1502. You got free food cause you scared her... LOL.!!! 😂😂😂 SO HILARIOUS... Personally speaking, I think you got free food because you have such a fabulous personality and positive vibes... You are so awesome... 👍👍👍
    77
  1503. nice video! I like the "shock" videos, mainly for the reaction people get. I don't expect those speakers to be good at the language though, it appears to me they have just enough to impress people that were expecting them to have none. Neither do I believe they have limited skills. What impresses me is the engagement you get talking to strangers on the street. That is the best demonstration.
    77
  1504. I am not interested in Japanese or overly interested in Japanese culture, but your videos keep me coming back. Love the channel, love every collab with tkosam. Just keep up the awesomeness Anming!
    77
  1505. CONGRATS!!! Getting married was the second best moment of my life. Right behind my little boy being born about 9 months later :)
    77
  1506. Some US companies could do with being a little more strict. Can't even get all my coworkers to wash their hands after using the restroom, geez! This was an awesome video, thank you! I really enjoy learning the day to day things about Japan!
    77
  1507. I haven't played archery for years since fourth grade of elementary school, it does need lots of patience and accuracy to make a perfect aim. Besides, I can see that you have tried your best to do it right, as well as Miss Jessica, she is a great teacher and mother.🏹 🎯
    77
  1508. Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I'm so glad this video was in my recommendations. So mesmerizing. (Here I go down the rabbit hole again)👍
    77
  1509. A very poignant reminder of the tsunami - thanks for giving us a sense of how it was.
    77
  1510. About 3 months ago, you uploaded a video surprising Japanese people by speaking Japanese to them. The video was on my recommendation and after watching that video I started to learn Japanese by myself. With the motivation I get from your videos, I'm doing really great so far. :D
    77
  1511. Love it when you speak Mandarin and got those reactions. It is fun to watch.
    77
  1512. Im so happy for this girl that she gets everything and is lucky that the parents like her And your japanese is good I wish you the best❤
    76
  1513. I found this video so moving. I really did. It touched my heart. What an extraordinary life you are living. I feel so grateful that you are taking us all along to experience so much of this journey with you. Seeing his family and their new year celebration is so incredibly amazing. This is the most unique experience I’ve ever had on YouTube. Your content is truly amazing. My parents lived in Japan for the first two or three years if their marriage so I appreciate this from such a personal sense. It somehow makes me feel closer to them. God bless you. You are doing such a great job of documenting everything. Just truly awesome!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
    76
  1514. It's always fun to surprise people with language! Being a native HKer that grew up in the US, I blend in completely in Hong Kong appearance-wise. So whenever I strike up conversation with tourists and foreigners or when they ask me for directions or something, they're always surprised at how fluent my English is 😆
    76
  1515. it looks like you live in the moment, without a single minute wasted. what a great attitude and lifestyle you've got. suki da yo!
    76
  1516. For every one of those trolls, there's a thousand of us who enjoy and appreciate your videos. I can only speak English, but your videos always inspire me to learn more and expand my horizons. You are a very passionate and wonderful person, so keep doing what you do. The world would be much better off with more people like you.
    76
  1517. With the advent of modern technology, the world is getting smaller, and as a result, biracial marriages are happening somewhere, which is a good thing. May you and your man succeed!
    76
  1518. I’m really impressed with Tommy’s ENGLISH. Congrats on 1 million subscribers!! Dear DREW …praying for quick healing ❤️‍🩹 recovery. Sending you encouragement and strength. Thank you Anming for highlighting your new apartment. I appreciate you sharing your episode with DREW. 🙆🏻‍♀️🤍🙏🏽
    76
  1519. I signed up for JapanesePod101 years ago upon your suggestion and it’s the only program that I use everyday and enjoy! While I’m not improving as quickly as I’d like, that’s more about me than the program. I like the material they produce. 👍 The bit about eating Japanese food in Chinatown in Korea was hilarious, BTW 😂
    76
  1520. Why is everything so spotless?? Just wondering... I do appreciate how environment-conscious the Japanese are, especially the guy who took the candy sticks away from you. Then, he proudly goes: "the atmosphere of the city will suffer!" What a superb culture!!! WOW!!! Love your material! Keep it up! Christian/NYC
    76
  1521. Countryside Japanese don’t “stare” and aren’t curious. They’re just friendlier and less guarded than city people. This is from 13 years of experience of living in both very rural and urban places as an Aussie. Also it’s rare to see someone say “Are you American?” They normally ask “Where are you from?” Your accent probably gave it away as I’ve never been asked if I was American.
    76
  1522. Yeah I also cringe every time someone pretend they "speak 20 languages" and all they can is to say few phrases in those languages, I was always like "come on, whom are trying to fool"
    76
  1523. Okay, I don't know how this showed up in my feed, but I was SO impressed by your language skills and overall personality that I was forced to subscribe. Keep up the good work, hope you hit your one million soon.
    76
  1524. using almost hello talk for 2 years, i can say that my japanese fluency comes from there, so i support the video, but yes, you have to speak every single day or at least do your best to use it somehow every day
    76
  1525. The only challenge for me to start a conversation with strangers is: My fear of them judging me in their minds, like what if they think I’m a creep/freak or something. So that’s a main drawback for me
    76
  1526. Earthquakes are common just in the center of the country. In my side, we only have hurricanes. Thanks for the video ☺️
    76
  1527. Japanese was my first language at home because of my mother. I became fluent as a child growing up in Japan. In the states when seeing Japanese people struggling or lost trying to speak English. I first approached them in English then switch to Japanese. They are taken aback for a moment. They usually ask where I learned to speak such good Japanese. I ask them what they are looking for then give them instructions in Japanese sometimes a mixture because not speaking the language very much except with my mother on the phone some of my vocabulary has become a bit weak. I remember speaking to a Japanese person here in the United States. Who was offended I spoke such good Japanese using conjugations and terms that only native speakers use. This is not a typical reaction. But I later realized for this person their identity as a Japanese person was challenged by my perfect Tokyoben.
    76
  1528. Wow, a whole episode of Tommy getting thrown under the bus! I liked it. His parents seem really sweet.
    76
  1529. I live in hokkaido. Getting stares is pretty normal for me as a 6'2" big muscular guy. I'm pretty sure my size scares people too. It can feel strange, but there are also plenty of very friendly and kind people here. I've lived here a while and only ever see a foreigner maybe once or twice a month while walking around on the daily so how can I fault them for being shocked seeing a foreigner when I get shocked seeing one too lol. Sending good thoughts your way pearl.
    76
  1530. Glad ur doing well. Hope everything goes well and your able to settle down soon.
    75
  1531. I'm Japanese-American, I follow several foreigners in Japan on youtube, u showed up in my feed yesterday and now I'm a fan! So beautiful, talented, intelligent, yet respectful and humble! U have such a bright future!
    75
  1532. Omg your Japanese is AMAZING! I’m Chinese, so I really shouldn’t be speaking, but since I watch anime and understand only a few words, I think it’s really great! I also really want to learn Japanese 🥰🥰
    75
  1533. It must feel so good being able to converse in 2 more languages. You are an inspiration to a lot of people I am sure. I look forward to your next video. Many thanks
    75
  1534. Charles is an awesome student and you're a great teacher! I have a feeling you might be a university professor some day!
    75
  1535. Translation is tricky. Although she asked why you can speak in literal terms, the more accurate translation is “what circumstances led you to learn Chinese?” and possible answers expected are “I am studying abroad”, “my parents are long term expats and I grew up here”, etc. That’s why she was like “no no” when you said “why others don’t?”, she meant she was asking a different question. A more extreme version of such translation issues is when asked how old you are, it gets translated to “why is it always you?” Hope this helps!
    75
  1536. I'm a much more engaged teacher than I'm a student. Why is that, because I was a guest instructor for one or two classes which made my material different. As a student, I had to learn, my way. It depended on the course and my personal inclinations as to what kind of student I was. I'm sure my teachers in the past, and those that I have now would still say Jim is intelligent, but does not properly apply himself to the curriculum. So nope I'll not be teaching English in Japan. Japan is a country and a culture that has attracted my interest. I'm going to continue visiting and trying to improve my Japanese language skills and usage. Hey those of you who view this channel, but aren't subscribed - WHY NOT. You get entertained, Anming 7 is very entertaining as Tommy Sensei. You'll see and learn things about China and Japan that you didn't know. In spite of yourself, you'll learn stuff. Most of all Anming 7 won't sugar coat things for you. She'll tell it like it is, and as long as you don't give up on yourself, she won't give up on you. So Subscribe and if you want more, become a Patreon like I have. I benefit and consider it monies well spent.
    75
  1537. I love how she doesn’t care. I wish I could have the iDGAFness to dance in the street like that.
    75
  1538. This is one of my favorites from you. It's amazing when a person can connect with people and make them feel the world is small and that we are all the same. Please do more of these small town/city videos. It inspires me to make more connections on my next visit abroad!
    75
  1539. Your good at Japanese 'No i'm not' ... wut
    75
  1540. the way you do your videos reminds me of the old old days of youtube before everything was monetized so heavily, so genuine and honest, it really looks like you make these videos because you enjoy making them and not to please your crowd and that's a super rare trait among today's content creators :)
    75
  1541. As a Michigander who's been to Detroit it's quite sad what happened, but the city has actually gotten quite a bit nicer in recent years. Still, I am grateful to be from the west side of the state!
    75
  1542. We all admire how well you bond and connect as a family. May God bless you all.
    75
  1543. We appreciate your hard work and consistency on this channel. God bless you.
    75
  1544. I've got a lot of respect for the Sensei for giving up the salaryman job for something more meaningful to him. Great video that made me laugh and smile many times.
    75
  1545. I love how clean and neat everything is there. Even the graffiti seems to be in order
    74
  1546. Welcome back from China! I hope you had a great time and by the looks of the video you definitely have. The kids are so kind and just wanted to connect with you. I bet their day was made and they told all their friends that they talked to an American. You're such an anomaly to them they just can't resist finding out what you're all about with a friendly conversation 💜
    74
  1547. I’m so glad that you are transparent on these videos and that if your looking for a wild reaction that it’s not going to be like that everywhere you go. Not a lot of you-tubers would give this “secret” away. ❤
    74
  1548. Because they think you’re a spy, gurl! Watch your back!
    74
  1549. No It's not creepy at all. It is magical. Everything looks like someone spent countless years shaping it and multiple people and generations left their mark too. It gives me chills and makes me mystified and feel happy seeing places like that.
    74
  1550. Yus, took Chinese classes in uni and I understood everything, I can even hear her accent ☺️
    74
  1551. I repeat what I said before…great to know the issue of homelessness has found a warm home in your big heart!🙏
    74
  1552. You dealt with the man at the end well. I'm a woman and an introvert and also American and seeing someone a bit aggressively push for a conversation when you try to make it clear that you don't want one (like you turning away from him to keep walking) would make me super nervous, it even made me anxious watching it. He might not have meant anything by it and was only curious and meant well, but still I feel like you dealt with him in the best possible way! Love your videos.
    74
  1553. Fortune cookies were invented in Japan and called “tsujiura senbei” 辻占煎餅. They were served with tea. A Japanese immigrant in San Francisco started baking them and it made its way into Chinese restaurants during WW2, when the Japanese were ostracized and sent to prison camps. The bakery that made them was called Benkyodo and the man who made them first in the US was Makoto Hagiwara. You can still find them in Kyoto and Kanazawa.

  1554. Another truly amazing video Anming. The experiences you have as a visibly non Japanese person, is somewhat different than that of Jesse who was born and raised in Japan and first language is Japanese. I admit that because his English is spoken with an American accent, I would have incorrectly assumed he was an American, whom like you is very comfortable speaking Japanese. This episode brought to mind a video I saw with an American and a Canadian who were born and raised in their respective countries to Japanese emigrants. Neither spoke and both had limited understanding of Japanese, despite appearing to be visually Japanese. Along with them was a visibly non Japanese looking Japanese citizen having been born, raised and schooled in Japan. Like Jesse this individuals first language was Japanese. They went to few restaurants where the wait staff continued to try to converse to the Japanese looking individuals who indicated they did not speak or understand Japanese. At the same time the wait staff couldn't seem to comprehend that the non Japanese looking individual was speaking fluently to them in Japanese. It was an obviously a case of visual assumptions over riding what was actually occurring. I don't know if this would still be the case, as the video was at least ten years old, but I can imagine that Jesse has experienced similar situations.

  1555. To be honest, other languages never make me feel paranoid and I always make an effort to speak as much of the local language as I can manage. No matter how badly I muck it up, I think its better to try.
    74
  1556. I’m just bilingual 😞 need to get that trilingual status.
    74
  1557. I am from Finland and moved to Germany a little over a year ago and I've tried to learn the language and I actually can have a conversation in German these days. I can speak English almost fluently and always had the skill to learn a new language quite easily, but still I have met a few people who have said to me: You can not learn this language, it is too hard or whatnot..And that is why I love these videos about languages. I have surprised a few people, when they realize, that I have only been here a year, BUT can speak with them. I my friend said to me just the otherday; "Well, you are now trilingual.. you can speak Finnish, English AND German, so there you go." Ps. Sorry for the long msg..
    74
  1558. The Rickshaw workers are so friendly! Loved this video! Stay safe out there!
    73
  1559. Your Chinese is good !! The students love you. Good or bad, you've seen more of the reality than people who just stay at one place.
    73
  1560. One thing I have found a couple of times in Japan, even with not-so-good Japanese, is that the Japanese could understand my slow and bad Japanese, and I could understand their slow and bad English, even though they could not understand my English or I their Japanese. ;-)
    73
  1561. Your understanding of all the differences in cultures is equally impressive, maybe even more so. --- Thanks for the great upload. ---
    73
  1562. This right there its social distancing at is best !! This is how you serve noodles now 😂🤣🤣 amazing! no contact at all
    73
  1563. Nice to see you... Glade you decided to go out and celebrate this year. Everyone looks like their having a great time. Your character was spot on. Happy Halloween 🎃👻
    73
  1564. I think my Japanese lessons are paying off as I understood every single thing you said to those Japanese children and everything they said back! I'm just WAY too shy to approach anyone and strike up a conversation. I love your videos! Thank you!
    73
  1565. There's a HUGE difference between ethnicity (your bloodlines), your nationality (where you were born) and your cultural identity (where you were raised / the culture you feel most at home in). I speak multiple languages, as do all of my friends... and we all experience this, in some way, depending on what country/ countries we are in.
    72
  1566. We still can’t travel, thanks for showing us around, giving us a sense of what it is like now in Japan. As usual, you are always being so bubbly and friendly, nice! 😊
    72
  1567. Looks like you both had a wonderful romantic getaway! This is what life is all about, sharing your life with the one you love.
    72
  1568. You are a great teacher. Charles' English is better than mine.
    72
  1569. The difference between you and other channels in japan is that you actually take part in their culture and not just watch over.
    72
  1570. I saw your short about the out-of-order bathroom for the first time and I was wondering "Did I miss a new upload from Oriental Pearl or something?!" and it appears I was just a bit early. Thanks for all your videos - I watch 'em all! Also, I'd love to see more Tommy! I didn't even recognize him earlier in the video until you put your hand on his chest LOL - thanks again for all the videos!!
    72
  1571. I can admire people who found a job that they really enjoy doing because most office employees basically stare at spreadsheets or attend pointless meetings until they die. However, we all have responsibilities like paying bills, paying off student loans (looking at us Americans here), buying cars and houses, saving for retirement and for kids, etc. These are all things that our "passions" alone cannot pay for. If you find a job you really like doing and it pays for everything, then you have found the "dream" job, but I don't think we should be glorifying working ourselves to the bones when only the people at the top keep pocketing all the profits. I hope this industry improves working conditions for its employees. I do enjoy some anime/manga, but it would be more enjoyable if I knew it wasn't made using slave labor.
    72
  1572. Good discussion. Yeah, living somewhere for 5 years and not learning the native language is something that SHOULD be frowned upon. People saying "white priv" when it comes to language are literally stupid. Not sure how that has ANYTHING to do with learning a language, and the people talking smack about the videos are just jealous. If they are so great, then why don't they do something informative instead of just bashing everything? Lol. Anyways... I still like your videos, and also, I'm pretty sure you are technically a polyglot lol. Keep it up! One day I want my Japanese to be as good as yours, Matt's or Dogen's.
    72
  1573. To everyone that says "whoah it's amazing how you can just switch between languages". Yes it is, but that's what she focussed on learning. She went to language schools. She invested a lot of time into it. Anyone with a bit of talent in language acquisition and enough time can do it. It's literally just a matter of time you're willing to invest. Say you study business. You know a shitton about business, that she probably doesn't. Say you study history. You know a shitton about history that she probably doesn't. Say you study engineering. You know a shitton about engineering that she probably doesn't. Basically, she decided to devote a lot of her time to language learning, and that's why she's able to switch freely. Moneywise, it's not even that great a decision. You earn a lot more in business, engineering or other fields. Basically all you can do with extensive language skills not combined with other education is translate or interprete. Unless you're one of the top dogs in those businesses, the pay is pretty shit. But hey, it's livable, and if someone has a passion for it, it's cool af to do it, even if you won't be living a money-rich life.
    72
  1574. She is adorable! Such radiant positivity! You can tell she loves her occupations. Good on her for leaning in to her high pitched voice and turning it into a career as a voice actress and teacher! Working with kids brings loads of fulfillment and joy!
    72
  1575. You're a good person always looking to build ties across all countries and cultures in the best way!
    72
  1576. Almost 94,000......so proud of all your hard work. Visiting my son at his college and watched more videos!
    72
  1577. Dark side was very refreshing and your friend handled his situation gracefully and with a good sense of humor.
    72
  1578. People hating online are unhappy losers, nothing to waste any time or energy on. Good video as always I love them all!
    72
  1579. I'm interessted in Japanese because of Manga, so in core, because of Manga I'm watching your channel xD Nice Video, thank you <3
    72
  1580. I lived in Brazil for a few years and that's how I knew I'd gotten a handle on the language too. When I realized the kids weren't laughing the moment I opened my mouth. When you can talk with the kids and joke and have fun, you're doing pretty good.
    72
  1581. I find it great that she doesn't look bothered by how she was born, I have a cousin with the same condition and even today they are ashamed of showing it
    71
  1582. All Americans who travel should take a cue from you! You are a wonderful ambassador for the USA! We wish you well!
    71
  1583. Thank you for interviewing with Jesse. This was a very interesting social experiment (and funny as well) 😁!
    71
  1584. 4:31 Eating Japanese food in Korea in Chinatown. That sounds like a meme I heard not long again; it was something like: 'Speaking Chinese to the French waiter while eating Italian food in Spain' or something like that
    71
  1585. I don’t really agree on this one. I’ve learned Spanish on my own by watching tv shows and with the help of an app. I feel like it gave me everything I needed to start talking to strangers and feeling comfortable doing it. And I’ve been complimented several times by locals because they thought I had great Spanish. I really think that you just have to be motivated and keep things interesting by using different ways of learning (radio, tvshows, apps, books and so on...)
    71
  1586. I would not even acknowledge the dislikes. They do it to get attention. I love all your videos!
    71
  1587. You two are so unique and special ! What a super interesting video. I feel jealous that I can't speak so many languages ! I'm so impressed by you two. More videos please. ❤
    71
  1588. .....”it’s ok, I’m Catholic...” 🤣🤣🤣 same, girl, same
    71
  1589. "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul"
    71
  1590. I subconsciously smile at these videos and don’t realize it after looking away from the screen.
    71
  1591. The part about the I.T. jobs are facts. Glad someone finally said something, well at least i finally found someone who is saying it.
    71
  1592. It's amazing how random encounters can produce situations like this! Another great video! 💖
    71
  1593. I remembered when I visited Japan there was a huge group of preschoolers walking to school the same way as we are and then one tripped and fell, then me and my cousin was like "OMG ARE YOU OKAY!? (Literally English🤧)" And then the little kid was like "eh? Daijoubo desu..." in other words, they were cute
    70
  1594. Very well done video on an issue that doesn't get a lot of spotlight even in Japan. It's not a place to go as a tourist and not a people to exploit for content but I think you did a good job of highlighting the issues homeless people are facing without harassing them or exploiting it. The main issue Japan has is that people work for a very long time, in most companies you have quite elderly people still working every day at the office or they have random jobs where they hold a light stick and stand somewhere to mark construction areas or parking areas. If you can no longer work for medical reasons it becomes a problem and often people get divorced, lose their homes and end up on the streets alone. Physical and mental disabilities can often be the course but becoming elderly and struggling to make money is another. I've heard stories of some who were ashamed they couldn't work and left to become alienated from their family because they felt they were better off without a man who can't work. I can see why tourists might look at it as a cheap option, but really don't recommend staying in an area like this or even going here to see it because it's not very safe. Japan is often hailed as a safe country and people take a lot of risks they wouldn't in a place like Thailand or even China for example and then they get robbed or scammed. Certain types of crime are not as low as you think they are. A lot of crime statistics are squashed by the fact many crimes are solved without a criminal conviction through mediation and compensation. My buddy got his phone stolen by a student at the school he worked at and tracked it down with GPS and when he got the police involved the school stepped in and if he pressed charges he probably would have lost his job because reputation is more important than punishment. Anyway my point is just because it's Japan doesn't mean you won't get robbed or sexually assaulted by taking risks to save a few bucks on a place to stay.
    70
  1595. Bro those guys that pull the kart must be in excellent shape. My man got QUADS.
    70
  1596. The streets are so clean, and everyone is so polite, that is nice.
    70
  1597. I have been calling people out for this for some time now. Everyone called me a hater. Its not that I'm a hater, but I don't like being lied to. It is impressive to know very basic level of multiple languages, however it isn't cool to pretend you're fluent. (To profit from illusion)
    70
  1598. Man, people are so horrible - I’m glad it doesn’t get to you, it must be very hard though. I’ve just started learning Japanese on Pimsleur after watching your videos - so please don’t stop, you have a really positive impact!!
    70
  1599. lmao the kid running in circles at 00:48
    70
  1600. You should not care one percent what any of these fools say....anyone who is critical of another's appearance is VERY insecure in themselves and it spurns from jealousy as well.I think you very intelligent and it's is interesting to me that you have built a life for yourself in another country as I did for years in Europe coming from a Danish mom raised in America....keep going and let the haters be in thier own misery.Everything you and Lisa were talking about is so true about bullying etc.🙂💌
    70
  1601. 3:20 that's so frickin' weird how she turned away from you and didn't respond just cause you were speaking English to her.
    70
  1602. I haven't heard skype sound in like 6 years o,o
    70
  1603. I was like “noooo don’t do the handshake because of the you already know what”
    70
  1604. Amazing how I can even feel the huge sighs of relief from the servers when you started speaking Japanese. :D
    70
  1605. Chris lived in China for eight years and has a Chinese wife. No doubt his Mandarin is fluent. His mother is from Honduras so of course he speaks Spanish. His father is German, that's where he got his German skills from. I think I heard him say he also speaks Italian, but have no idea how fluent he is with it. Chris is one of the real deals, just like Anming.
    70
  1606. I love to see people’s reactions! I bet they are so impressed with you! You are such a friendly person. I am glad I found your channel! Best of luck to you in your studies 🙏🏼🥰
    69
  1607. That おばあさん was so sweet omg 🥺 Watching this made me realize how badly I crave the ability to connect with people like this. I can hardly talk to strangers here in the US, but I feel like being a foreigner elsewhere makes for a really good icebreaker lol. This gave me fresh motivation to keep up my studying. I might aim for the N3 this year!
    69
  1608. I speak English and German, and have become familiar with several other languages when I lived in those regions, but never became conversational in them. They were Arabic, Dari, Croatian and Pashto. I learned enough phrases to get by and do my job, but once the locals started talking at a hundred miles per hour, I was completely lost. Listening to people like you who can instantly transition seamlessly from one language to another and back again simply amazes me. I don't have any plans to ever learn an Asian language so I don't remember how I found your channel, (probably YouTube recommended vids) but once I heard you speaking, I was hooked because, like you, I think languages are just incredibly interesting and fun to learn.
    69
  1609. Wow. With a little confidence, I've talked to girls over 50 girls in Japan today. Although, I wish they'd respond to my direct messages too...
    69
  1610. Loving the editing, you’ve really stepped it up, the filming and voice overs are great!
    69
  1611. This is better quality than some others I watch. Do more in this area! Seems you found a good spot for it...and food too 😊
    69
  1612. I've been speaking English in America for eight years now as a Chinese person. To this day no one's shown the slightest sign of surprise.
    69
  1613. I attempted Chinese yesterday and butchered it 😭 but like you said, don’t be afraid and learn from your mistakes! thanks for encouragement ❤️ Anming, the convo w the woman was so sweet. Your Chinese is so eloquent.
    69
  1614. I know the feeling. I traveled to some small towns in northern California in the early 1990's and people would stare at me for no reason other than me being Asian. It still happens today I recently traveled to Georgia, Arkansas, and Mississippi. I lost count of how many times I got stared at simply for being Asian.
    69
  1615. these videos make me so happy! Ive always been a little nervous about traveling to different countries and wanting to learn new languages. (Im kind of scary looking and i dont wanna freak people out) But now I really want to try to learn more!
    69
  1616. 2:47 - 2:56 For those who interested to know :- Asian lady : Russian girls have great body figure. When they stripped off, wow......that.......unlike us (Asian woman), all sag down.
    69
  1617. Seriously, you're having way too much fun. Oh, and as the friendly lady said welcome to our big Chinese family! :D
    69
  1618. The higher your proficiency in a non-native language, the less likely you are to claim perfect fluency in it..is my experience.
    69
  1619. the you know what problem!?!?! "VOLDEMORT!?"
    69
  1620. I really love how u are t afraid to talk with strangers I love your personality ❤❤
    69
  1621. "I didn't hit anything for the first 6 months.". That takes some dedication....
    69
  1622. Thanks for the collaboration. ✨😍🍺 I want to see you guys. I will be back to Route66 next March. When you find me, Let's ride!!!! 🍺🇺🇸🌍
    68
  1623. Asian speaks English: Normal White Person Speaks Chinese: Oh my god, you are so so good.
    68
  1624. It’s very true, here in Ireland we wouldn’t compliment someone on their English in case they grew up here too and you would offend them. It’s very interesting watching your videos, I love that you continuously provide meaningful content. Thank you!
    68
  1625. If you can read like 10 kanji people will freak out how "advanced" your Japanese is. Matt I showed your talking to my native Japanese friends and they say you sound like a native Japanese from outside Tokyo.
    68
  1626. I can see that she likes Chinese more than Japanese. Hahaha I understand. I have studied in china too. I am Japanese myself, but Chinese people are easier to strike up a conversation.
    68
  1627. Me to korean/ Chinese friends: Yah I don't really speak English that well Their reply: WHAT??? BuT YoU'rE AmErIcAn ??
    68
  1628. Haters gonna hate. Typically they're insecure people with low self esteem that have to tear down others to build themselves up.
    68
  1629. I believe when they are telling you it sounds perfect, they're sincere and mean it. I also understand the proper response is to be modest. I asked Chinesewith-Xiaoluto if she was going to analyze your Chinese and "Blondie in China". Here was her reply: "Oriental Pearl is great. Blondie in China is ok" It's a lot of fun to see and hear these interactions.
    68
  1630. So inspirational. Now I'm motivated to go back to my Czech language lessons. It's so complicated - but logical - but complicated. But less tenses than English, and you pronounce every letter ( well, almost every one ). Practice, practice, practice !
    68
  1631. Language scammers are flourishing on YouTube. I unsubscribed from someone who started teaching Chinese after having learned it for 4 months themselves and claimed it was easy. Of course the only concentrated on speaking. Then I stumbled on their channel again and now they’re into German ( butchering the language because they lack the necessary foundation).
    68
  1632. I feel like a native speakers reaction is not an accurate representation of ones level in a language. Instead it can be very wholesome as they are proud/grateful that you have taken time to learn about their language and culture. That’s mostly why their reactions appear to be exaggerated.
    68
  1633. If Finnish language and in Finland people usually can say "Moi" or "Hei" when they meet people and when they are leaving they say "Moi moi" or "Hei hei" so they repeat it two times when leaving.
    68
  1634. This just got me thinking how important it would be to have a good teacher for w/e language you are trying to learn. Its kinda scary to think that if I taught someone English theyd end up sounding like me lol
    68
  1635. “Introduce yourself”. The more lines you get, the better.
    68
  1636. The girls are all so beautiful and their reactions are priceless and sincere.
    68
  1637. So many of our students want to learn classroom-related Chinese to be able to better control and manage their classrooms. I think you did better than you give yourself credit and they will always cherish their time learning from you.
    67
  1638. This is why I show my husband (武汉人) all these videos and he’s like, “Ummm... sweetheart, you speak Chinese better than that person.” To give you some perspective, my Chinese is VERY elementary. I admit it openly. These people are frauds. Still entertaining... but frauds for sure.
    67
  1639. You two are lovely. You make an effort explore and express yourself. Much love towards you all day everyday.❤🥋
    67
  1640. When those friendly folks were praising your good Japanese I was thinking 🤔 if only they knew you speak fluent Chinese as well! :D
    67
  1641. Just finished session 1 with Pimsleur! I am writing down all the sentences so I can practice on my own. But I'd like a tutor a few times a month. I think it would help. Also, I avoid big cities. Smaller rural communities are wonderful, from my experience in Japan! A fellow at the ticket office was trying to tell us which train not to get on. One that stops at all the small towns. Ya, we got on it. The fellow in line behind us watched us and saw our mistake and got us on the right train. So grateful for him!
    67
  1642. Thank you so much for sharing my story and bringing more awareness to people like me. Love your work ❤ I had so much fun 🎉
    67
  1643. The first salary man is adorable.
    67
  1644. That's a nice definition of a grey area from Richard, there's no rule that says you can't take R2D2 for a walk through your local Mall. Everyone loves Star Wars :-)
    67
  1645. "Make the move first" "Put yourself out there" "Sent messages to 40 people a day" sounds like a dating app lol
    67
  1646. Good on you for educating and debunking this idea of shock value videos. It's like any sort of entertainment and it's not always reality. I find the gossiping while you were away was an interesting trait I had never seen or heard of before.
    67
  1647. Written on her grave. Choked on Blowfish during an earthquake. Permanently uploaded.
    67
  1648. Yes we do! I speak for me and my cat.
    67
  1649. Story time! I once was a paid extra in a Japanese chorus singing in Paris. They were so friendly, smiling and polite! A Japanese-speaking extra (French-born), who was there with me, told me they were saying many compliments about me and all of us when talking to each other (the Japanese singers had no idea my French colleague understood Japanese). Beautiful people, it was a wonderful experience.
    67
  1650. Also, can I just say, not at all meaning to be creepy OR objectifying—I’m a gay man, and I generally never comment on a woman’s (or anyone’s) appearance, out of respect, but I was really upset to hear those comments (which would also bother me said about anyone)…I can tell you are the kind of person who knows herself well, and certainly doesn’t need the approval or even a supportive gesture from some rando like me in a YouTube comments section, but good grief, for what it’s worth, you’re a very beautiful person, and those haters have absolutely NO footing whatsoever.
    67
  1651. here comes my favorite Russian YouTuber.
    67
  1652. I love how you have slowly improved your editing and video quality over the past few months as your channel has grown while also not trying to change your personality to appeal to anyone. Your videos are some of the most motivational I have ever watched and it really pushes me to improve my Chinese every day :)
    67
  1653. You were a beautiful bride and he was a handsome groom! Having been married over 30 years myself, I wish you and your new husband nothing but joy and prosperity (and children). May you both be blessed with a happy life. Had to laugh at the 2:17 mark. I'm pretty sure they were carrying a bag with the wedding dress, but it looked a lot like a body bag. Caught me off guard for a second.
    67
  1654. Surprised people or not surprised, I enjoy seeing you talking to the locals and seeing around these places, the food, the sights etc, Great videos!
    66
  1655. Ive always wanted to learn either spanish or an asian language. It just seems so cool to be able to communicate with other countries.
    66
  1656. That was fun! You've said that your 'language surprise' videos have the most views, but I'm here to watch you interact with people, in general. I'll probably never travel to Japan--much less live there--so my adventures must go through you. 😁
    66
  1657. These are so wholesome!! you're so clever and inclusive!! Go girl, languages are an amazing skill
    66
  1658. How unfortunate😢It would be nice to show interest in other cultures. A missed opportunity. Now it comes off as a boycott towards Japan.
    66
  1659. Actually, I feel like the Japanese sized Red Bull is likely the closest to the amount a person should be drinking. People in the US consume way more Caffeine than they should.
    66
  1660. Thank you for exploring the streets of Nishinari. Its one of the most dangerous places in Japan, definitely not a night city to go alone but during the day its not that bad you will see friendly faces almost everywhere. 5:58 That park (Haginochayaminami or Triangle Park) is one of the greater areas in Nishinari, that guy was definitely a good person bringing you there to meet new people. it's pretty close to where I worked in Abeno and honestly it never gave me bad vibes in general. Glad you could spread information about Japans ups and downs :)
    66
  1661. What’s it like to watch anime without subtitles
    66
  1662. OMG you can speak both Japanese and Chinese~ great!
    66
  1663. You mastered Chinese!!!!! The 4th tone is flawless, that’s incredible.
    66
  1664. People are different. While I love to meet new people and hang out with friends as much as I can, I could never live with roommates (I mean, if the situation demands it, I would probably do it, but I would hate it). I mean, you get along just fine, but you are a girl...isn't privacy an issue in there?
    65
  1665. katie's hair is just gorgeous omg i can't i can't,
    65
  1666. I freaking died when the narration came to "people just lose their s#!+"😄😄🤣🤣🤣 I really needed that laugh ❤
    65
  1667. Aw this was so fun to watch. I'm doing christmas alone this year in Toronto, my family is spread out all over the world. This made my day. It's nice to know that even in a pandemic the world is still turning. Anming, you should do one for great ways to visit Japan! should I get a guide? What city is great for a 2 week stint? What restaurants are good for tourists?
    65
  1668. The acoustics in that church! The architecture is different than what I've seen, but still beautiful in a sleek, modern way. I grew up Catholic as well so it warms my heart that your future inlaws brought you to church to worship and pray in your own way on New Years. So happy to see how well you and your future japanese family fit together here! Love your videos and happy new year to you!

  1669. i just read "men who hit random women ..." and i was like "nani??!" edit: i was expecting some detective conan sht to happen
    65
  1670. I came for Pearl, stayed for Tommy, LIKED for the Rickshaw man. Overall great video. Would rate again.
    65
  1671. The look on the face of the Vietnamese vendor when you started speaking Vietnamese to him was priceless. It was also funny when you started speaking Mandarin, Korean and Japanese at the restaurant and almost shocked the people you were sitting with.
    65
  1672. This girl is incredible... the way she speaks is so calming and passionate .. so humble ...she makes you want to be nice amd just go talk to a stranger.. love her !
    65
  1673. My goal is to get where you are: just fit in. At the moment, since I’m still a beginner, I truly enjoy the “You speak Chinese!!” or the “Your Chinese is good”, but you’re right, it’ll get old pretty soon. Most commenting for support really, wasn’t sure what to say.
    65
  1674. Honestly, I really like your energy, made me smile through the whole video, gave me motivation to start Japanese again. You really deserve the attention you're getting now on YouTube. Keep doing what you love! And we'll love it too. 😄
    65
  1675. It reminds me of the time when I had an exchange in Osaka University. I'm from Taiwan, and I also speak Mandarin,English, and Japanese. :)
    65
  1676. Unless you’re near B2 in most of your languages I don’t really think ppl actually KNOW the languages.
    65
  1677. I felt like I needed this video. I’ve been on and off with my target language and it’s been frustrating. I also like to note that the Genki series for Japanese language learners is a good book/audio to buy for those who speak English. Youtuber, Aboard in Japan, recommends the two-series books as it focuses on conversational Japanese that’s used often in Japan
    65
  1678. You're video encouraged me a lot. You said, "You're gonna be an idiot for a whilie." I totally agree with that. I learned English in the states 8 years ago, and I'm still an idiot, but that's okay. I'm foreigner just an asian. I hesitated to work in the foreign based company, but your video encouraged me so much haha thanks! I'm in the educational field, by the way, so hope I can grow international people in Japan. Wish me luck! haha
    64
  1679. The fact the step folks took you to the Catholic church says a LOT!!! That is huge respect toward you. And, the fact you've learned Nihongo so well earns you a lot of respect.
    64
  1680. Please stay safe, your well-being and health is very important to us ❤❤❤
    64
  1681. I think it's pretty amazing that your camera has become a part of you in ways. Like your shots are always so well framed. Your subconscious knows exactly how to hold it and move it in busy situations, even when you're not looking at the camera.
    64
  1682. Congratulations on your engagement. Life is full of surprises. Did you ever imagine, you would end up in Japan planning a wedding? When is the big day? I truly hope you give us a glimpse of the ceremony and reception.
    64
  1683. What a great video Anming. Interesting video, most of them seem to think nothing of it as much as 20 years ago where we were less common frequently going to other countries
    64
  1684. Those kids were so cute! It's amazing how you get to use your Cantonese! great video again great shots too 😉
    64
  1685. the guy from peru is so cute, i looove his accent ♥ the rickshaw guy was very fun too, i hope you succeed in finding him again for an interview
    64
  1686. Now I'm nervous, didn't know you were a big celebrity, that venue looked sold out!! =-)
    64
  1687. My Korean skills are very basic and mostly for survival, my mom and others tried teaching me but their patience only lasted for small stretches. No matter how much I tried to learn, their strict demands were never satisfied. So I can relate to the brain fart moments trying to communicate with native speakers, the pressure, ugh!
    64
  1688. I really liked what you said about using your downtime. I've noticed lately how much time I spend just waiting for things, waiting to get to a destination, waiting in line, etc. I definitely want to make that time more productive.
    64
  1689. Foreigner: Is that Yakuza Japan:
    64
  1690. Thank you all for your charity ❣
    64
  1691. Your commitment is very admirable, not many people have that kind of commitment, wish you well in Korean!
    64
  1692. Chinese, Japanese and now going for Korean and Vietnamese... amazing love for language and no doubt a gift! Congrats!
    63
  1693. Wonder how they would react to my really curly fluffy red hair😂
    63
  1694. The duel-citizenship situation is an interesting one, technically you're supposed to pick when you're like 20 but it's somewhat of a don't ask,don't tell thing. If you use the right passport when entering the right country nobody will stop you lol. Japan is definitely not high tech lol, because of certain things people get the impression that Japan is all modern but it's really not. A lot of stuff we take for granted now in the west as far as convenience doesn't exist in Japan. It took me years to get some of my friends into Paypal as a way of sending and getting money when somebody is buying tickets for a show or something. It's coming into Japan now a bit more but people would be horrified and not trust it as a service.
    63
  1695. I forgot Japan is a day ahead of us lol. Nice video!
    63
  1696. This is why I started learning Japanese. If I ever get to visit Japan, I want to be able to get around and communicate on my own.
    63
  1697. Love the Pikachu cake! It’s great that you’re protecting yourself in public and sanitizing your hands. Have a fabulous week ahead and stay safe always 🙌💯☀️🇯🇵
    63
  1698. Speaking Japanese AND Chinese, I'm so jealous 😥😪😭
    63
  1699. Years ago I would have said “sure, you can study Korean and Japanese together, no problems” but now being a much higher level in Korean, I would strongly recommend only focusing on one and perhaps never studying the other seriously. They are very easy to mix up and it will be detrimental to whichever one you’re more focused on. Only once you’re a very advanced level in one would I say it’s all good to learn the other one. I’m sure there are other languages like that too where it’s easy to get confused and mix them up which is why learning one at a time is by far the best way.
    63
  1700. 2:52 ughh what were these two sayingg, my social anxiety wouldve made me think that they were making fun of me :')
    63
  1701. The most important tip that you gave to your audience was the need of a tutor to help with pronunciation and structuring. To many of us are secure in our smugness, and refuse, or feel we have no need for correction. When any well educated student will tell you they have been helped by a mentor correcting their viewpoint, or their pronunciation. Thank-you for the great video, and hope you find a rainy day friend.
    63
  1702. I'm Norwegian who's lived in Bolivia. I remember one kid staring at me in the minibus, before telling his mom that my blue eyes made me look like a cat. I should have said "meow!"
    63
  1703. It would be funny to see how many heads you can get to turn at once when you speak their language. I saw 3 in one shot. It is fun to watch.
    63
  1704. Thank you for showing that these homeless people are sweet human beings and not just a word or a problem to be solved. Thank you for loving on them some much 😊
    63
  1705. I live on a fault line in America and we are all used to it too. If Earthquakes are common, people get desensitized and the city, infrastructure, buildings and people are better prepared for one. People still get shocked sometimes but it’s not a big deal to many as well.
    63
  1706. Wow, this has to be one of my favorite videos of yours! Tommy really had a blast in America whether it was losing his passport after his flight to America (tell him the lost and found isn’t like Japan), seeing how big Chicago rooms are in comparison, losing some money and then going on a (dirty) train, singing at the Baseball game and eating a hotdog, shooting a gun at a firing range, riding a Sea-Doo, catching a fish, and most importantly… Making memories with family! Your mom and dad were so wholesome and welcoming too. What a successful trip you both had. Thank you for making videos like this and bringing us viewers along for the ride. I wish you safe travels returning to Japan! 💜💜💜
    62
  1707. This is another great video! Seeing the hospitality of the gentleman earlier in the video was heart warming to see, and his willingness to share his home with everyone was very educational. I'm glad he shared the inside of his home, because it absolutely shattered and pre-conceived ideas of what I would have had of a low-income home.
    62
  1708. The ghosting is rather common in asia. people would rather disappear than confront and solving the issues at hand
    62
  1709. I am half Japanese. My mom is from Kobe Japan. My grandfather lives in a small town called Tarumi. Everytime we go back we always get stared at or if I speak Japanese its a huge shock. My grandfathers new neighbor acts like a huge karen towards us due to us being foreigners. I always love these videos cause I dont feel alone
    62
  1710. The characteristics of homeless people in Japan are a little different from those in other countries. The difference is that most homeless people want to be homeless. This is because Japan has a system that guarantees a minimum standard of living for everyone. However, even though they are eligible for this system, most homeless people do not want to take advantage of it because they think it is shameful to do so. Most of them feel that the overly serious life of Japanese people is very cramped, and most of them enjoy a free homeless life of their own choice.
    62
  1711. I'm pretty sure sorry in Finnish is PERKELE。
    62
  1712. I'm really impressed by your work to make everyone's time better from watching your videos🤗
    62
  1713. OP needs to win an award for best and most interesting/relevant YouTube'er of the year. Thank God I have the notification on and can watch a new one. You are such an asset to humanity. Well done OP.
    62
  1714. My baby girl is half Japanese, I want to learn and have her learn the language too, how cuuuute were those girls in the store!!!!!
    62
  1715. I love how you always bring a smile to people's faces.
    62
  1716. "Chatting with a tough Japanese biker guy..." The first thing I see next is Doraemon.
    62
  1717. Hi, I'm in awe! I'm in my 70''s from Ireland, trying to learn Spanish for the 1st time! Finding it incredibly hard! So, seeing how you can master such complex languages gives me hope. Also, I follow other sites giving an insight into typical Japanese culture and everyday life! It is so different to Irish and Western culture and endlessly fascinating! To my eternal shame I can't speak Irish! I love the reaction videos. They are humourous and heart-warming. Remember what the lady said. You ARE still young😂! If you ever decide to visit Ireland, check out the Irish Language & if you ever do come I'd love to be able to shake your hand like the pleasantly shocked people you meet. Best wishes and may your site continue to flourish! Cead mile failte!
    62
  1718. Your videos are so real and "normal" compared to most of the other travel/language channels out there. That's why I love them! Thanks for letting us be part of your (and your family's) interesting life! Greetings from Germany! 🙂🌻
    62
  1719. I actually attempted to learn Finnish with other foreigners in a drinking game, the person who doesn't pronunce properly have to drink alcool... the outcome? I don't have any idea what happened that day.
    61
  1720. Going slightly off subject, but I was really surprised to find out how few Japanese people even own passports a couple of years ago, wasn't it like 25% or something? I suppose a lot of it has to do with the work culture and the emphasis on civic/familial/etc responsibility.
    61
  1721. The reality is, you're somewhat of a unicorn. I can't imagine they encounter too many Americans or foreigners that have such a command or fluency of their language, it's super impressive. I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks for posting. 🙂
    61
  1722. Because of you and your inspiration I’ve learned Spanish AND Chinese and now I’m also studying other languages.💫
    61
  1723. Amazing that they can do this without the need for any sheet music!
    61
  1724. I live in rural Kyushuu and anywhere I go, I automatically get stared at. Then when im at, say, a restaurant, then order in Japanese, everyone starts staring again lol.
    61
  1725. This is the kind of quality content I'm subscribed for. Thank you!
    61
  1726. The variety of interactions are truly special. Everyone was so friendly to you and your friend once you started a conversation with them. They were blown away especially that older gentleman repaying the favor going to the konbini! I love to see all the precious memories made such as these. 💜
    61
  1727. It makes me think, "How about a japanese person walking around an random city of NY talking in japanese with sellers?!"
    61
  1728. Oriental Pearl tysm for replying haha, i’d never be able to approach people lol. Stay safe queen 💕
    61
  1729. i have depression and your videos makes me feel better 🖤
    61
  1730. Next Anming is going to learn Italian, go to Italy, find a place with a lot of Korean people and speak Korean there instead of Italian lol. Just kidding, I love your videos and think you are awesome, especially because you approach people and speak their native language when they least expect it. I would be way too anxious to do that!
    61
  1731. Regarding homelessness, compared to LA and other big cities in the USA, I think Japan is doing a great job
    61
  1732. I think you discovered a great niche to cover. Japan isn't always the land of milk and honey, just like everywhere else. Kind of like "Bald & Bankrupt", going where few others tread. Cool! Do more in more areas!
    60
  1733. Learning Japanese is hard, but learning how to be sociable and nice is even harder and she nailed both. Good work girl
    60
  1734. You're becoming famous in Japan. Only a matter of time before you're on television, again.
    60
  1735. The dedication it must have taken to learn multiple foreign languages is amazing
    60
  1736. I also studied Chinese in my undergrad and went to China but I lost most of it, I did understood these basic interaction in Chinese though, I should re-polish my Chinese a bit as well :) Loved the video, as a polyglot myself this was very motivating! xx
    60
  1737. Loved the convo. She seemed so delighted that someone complimented her and was so eager to speak with you! You make it look so easy lol
    60
  1738. The goal of language learning is NOT to focus on fluency and how native-like you sound, but rather on the journey and the process of gradually getting better each day. Counterintuitively you’ll end up reaching a level far beyond what you expected with this mindset. Also like what she mentioned , try to somehow make it fun and enjoyable for yourself that way you can continue doing it without burning out or giving up.
    60
  1739. Loved seeing Lisa 13 with you! She's such a telented girl!
    60
  1740. Everyone was very kind, and it was amazing hearing all the laughter, and respect in the conversations.
    60
  1741. I’ve noticed Tommy’s English proficiency seems a lot better from earlier videos. Does he he practice a lot on English at home?
    60
  1742. Same! I’ve watched a few of her vids and she has so much courage making small talk with people I could never do that hahaha
    60
  1743. Im glad I got to see this! after all our chats I see how hard you've worked! Can't wait to hear all about it in more detail soon!!
    60
  1744. Nice, cool to get an origin story for the name lol. I wish we had better vending machines here. So little variety in the UK. P.S food looks delicious!
    59
  1745. We found the Japanese to be very friendly and welcoming to us, visiting Japan 2 years ago as a Welsh couple.
    59
  1746. "D E B T - Debt..... Your teacher has a lot of debt." Hahahaha 🤣 I'd marry you
    59
  1747. Love the culture shock between both country.
    59
  1748. the 3/4 Peruvian guy was funny. I wanna be his friend.
    59
  1749. For me it's a complete non issue. Knowing other languages is a marvelous thing. You guys are great. I love these videos. Avoid clickbait obviously. The critics are likely monolingual English.
    59
  1750. There is something about the Japanese people....their cleanliness, attention to detail, their humility...their devotion to tradition. I think they are my favourite nation. I'd love to visit, and if I had my time again...as a young man it would have been awesome to have worked and studied there...and maybe found a Japanese wife. Oriental Pearl has a heart the size of a planet....her husband has found an absolute babe of a wife there.
    59
  1751. That happens sometimes. While living in China, sometimes I was pretending that I don't know how to speak Chinese after being approached in a strange manner
    59
  1752. I’ve only taken four years of Japan in college, but Matt’s pronunciation is ridiculously good. I don’t think I’ve heard another foreign speaker of Japanese sound so much like a native speaker. I’m sure that took a lot of time and dedication with very small and nuanced aspects of the language to achieve the level he has reached.
    59
  1753. Thanks for being as direct as you could be, the message is so simple too. It took 5 minutes and you nailed some really important points most people don't address in their entire channel of content.
    59
  1754. I love how everyone's faces light up when you speak to them in their own language! They are so eager to talk to the pretty blonde girl who speaks so well. I so enjoy seeing how polite and friendly they all are!
    59
  1755. Jealous people criticize on “attention seeking YouTube channels”. That is how the generate their YouTube revenue and you can ignore them, for they are not reflecting the truth. You are projecting only beauty in your mannerism, social interaction, and a true inspiration for other multilingual persons like myself who are just too shy to interact. Keep on smiling and making everyone smile with you. Your fiancé is a lucky man!
    59
  1756. The American woman's pronunciation is actually pretty good!
    59
  1757. I found it heartbreaking that she had to win the mask at a raffle.😞 Your videos are so eye opening. We are all at risk around the world..but some countries and situations are so much worse 😔 and the one girl was willing to share with you💓
    59
  1758. I really, really like your videos and narration! You give us US state-bound folks a small glimpse of what the world has to offer. Language, love, life, and so much joy. Thank you always for all your content! You were the first person/channel to get me into videos regarding new languages, culture, etc and I've truly enjoyed all of the content shoved my way ever since!
    59
  1759. Since Chinese is my mother tongue,, seeing all the videos of people claiming to have perfect or fluent chinese when they dont is sad 🥺
    59
  1760. That school was the most surreal thing that I have seen in long while. It's very heartwarming to see things like this during these troubled times when Sinophobia is being normalized by the media.
    59
  1761. Japanese sees two blond white people speaking in fluent Japanese. "Haiya, another two Japanese gone to Korea for plastic surgery."
    59
  1762. It looks like that you recognized the lady in front of the hairdressing shop. You immediately spoke to her in Mandarin instead of Japanese.
    59
  1763. In swedish "hi" is "hej" and we often say "hej hej" to greet someone.
    59
  1764. Woah you've been getting this kind of hate?! Why?!! I don't get why people just gotta find a problem with everythingggg🤬😤 Love you Oriental Pearl and your content - keep shining!
    59
  1765. Hai....hai......hai .... uhmm.....uhmm....ey?....Hai, Hai, Hai ....... (commenting on Anming´s video ^^) So funny: "Hai" means "shark" in German so it would be really agonizing/frightening for a German swimming in the ocean with a nice Japanese person that affirms you by saying "Hai Hai Hai!!!" ^^ =) ....)
    59
  1766. watching his reactions to all this makes me feel like a kid again when i saw all this stuff for the first time. i grew up in metro detroit and this video warms my heart. wish you both the best
    59
  1767. Japan my dream Country. I would be happy to go there someday, but surely not this lifetime. Only after I get Isekaid by Truck-kun.
    59
  1768. That was something refreshingly different. His ‘make people happy’ reply when asked if he would do this job forever could easily be your reply to being a YouTuber forever. :D
    59
  1769. I have a similar situation but in reverse. I’m second-generation Japanese born in the UK, and I was brought up in Kent but now live in Tokyo. My Japanese is OK, having learnt it from my family but I don’t have any academic qualifications in Japanese. I went to university in Edinburgh, and I feel 100% English, and my Japanese background hasn’t made a dent in my identity. In England I’ve never had anyone doubting I’m British, so the situation with Joshua is obviously very different because Japan is a much less diverse country. Sometimes in Europe (especially Germany) I’ve had people questioning that I’m English and suggesting I may be from Hong Kong or something like that. In all fairness to the Japanese, sometimes they panic when they see a gaijin because they have the experience of gaijins ordering in Japanese first but then if they follow the conversation in Japanese it comes to an abrupt end. So the Japanese often think they’re on safe ground speaking in English, especially if they don’t know who you are. I recently met someone on Tinder here in Tokyo and this Greek-looking person showed up, so I asked him “where are you from?” And he got all offended saying he was born and raised in Saitama of German parents blah blah. Honestly I shouldn’t feel guilty for assuming a European-looking person is not Japanese!! That’s a bit too much to expect. My advice to Joshua is that he starts talking first, to make sure the person knows you’re fluent. If you let it get under your skin it starts to define you, and I think that’s not good. I would have an issue of course if people at the workplace treat you like your Japanese is not up to scratch or you’re an outsider. I’d have a quiet word with them and nip it in the bud.
    58
  1770. I had learned to exchange pleasantries like hello, good bye, please, thank you, etc. in about a dozen languages back when I did more traveling, though I never deluded myself into thinking I “knew” those languages. It helped put smiles on people’s faces when I could exchange pleasantries and make smalltalk with native speakers on my travels. Friends sometimes asked how many languages I “knew”. I would tell them that in about a dozen languages, I had learned enough to exchange pleasantries, ask directions, order a beer, and to possibly get myself in trouble.
    58
  1771. I don't watch Youtube for Hollywood level production quality, it's about the content! Haters will always hate. Keep doing what you're doing!
    58
  1772. I want to go to Japan and many other places in Asia some day. I'm currently learning Japanese at school in hopes to become fluent in the language and reach my dream of becoming am interpreter. Love your videos, such an inspiration to continue my studies.
    58
  1773. My wife is Japanese I met her parents for the first time in 2006. They have always been very accepting of me. Even with our 10 year age difference. I am younger. I have always hugged them every time I’ve seen them over the years. Glad things went well with you 🎉
    58
  1774. Japanese people seems so friendly and polite. Japan must be an amazing country to visit.
    58
  1775. The fact you got engaged and are getting married in less than 2 years really means you hit it off, anyway congrats.
    58
  1776. Even if one's foreign language knowledge ist very limited, it shows that you are interested in this country and its culture. That gives local people a good feeling.
    58
  1777. Is it just me, or was it really satisfying to see the teacher fold his uniform into a perfect square at the end!? 😄😃⬜
    58
  1778. Japan looks like a beautiful country. From everything I see, the Japanese people are extremely appreciative of the fact that you can converse with them as if you had lived there all of your life.
    58
  1779. Me: “How do you have time to study 6 hrs a day?!” Right after thinking that, I get a notification from Facebook saying I’ve spent an average of 3 hrs/day on FB over the past month. Well...bye bye FB lol
    58
  1780. As a Polish I can agree that we like when foreigner tryes to speak our language and we often love it a bit too much xD
    58
  1781. What a great quote! "You've gotta get in where you fit in" He seems like a cool person!!
    58
  1782. I’m learning Chinese now but I really want to learn Japonese too
    58
  1783. I personally have a problem with channels like Wouter's because their videos go beyond just clickbait into actually lying. His most popular videos are all scripted and even then the quality of his language is very low in almost all languages he speaks in his videos, yet the title will be something like "Polyglot speaks over 20 languages fluently with natives". Clickbait channels like yours or xiaoma's whose videos are all "white people speaks fluent X" are perfectly fine in my opinion as your level is very high and it is impressive.
    58
  1784. It's interactions like these that makes life worth living. I've been so stressed lately but this made me happy. The joy of recieveing complements by a stranger in your own language is always special. It's a shame Nathan didn't have any luck with that Chinese lady. Better luck next time, eh? 😄
    58
  1785. I’ve started my language learning journey way back in 2007 with Portuguese which eventually lead me to learn Spanish and Italian. By the mid to late 2010s I’ve become competent enough to consume media and interact with natives on social media but to this day I still feel like I’m not done learning those languages. And now in this new decade I’ve started a new language journey with Turkish, Farsi and Swahili. My goals for becoming a polyglot were never to show off instead it was curiosity about the regions where the languages are spoken and of course the people who live in those said regions of the world.
    57
  1786. All those kids will remember that day very well. It s wild how schools in Japan are a completely different experience than here in the US. The Uniforms,school chores, etc.. reminds me of my own way back Catholic school days but more fun.
    57
  1787. Loved your “prank” videos, although I personally don’t see them as pranks. Your just surprising people speaking in their native languages. What’s also interesting is just seeing the real life interactions and environment of people in your videos that as Americans we might not be used to. Please keep these type of videos coming. I think you can really grow your channel with them if that’s your goal. Thanks :)
    57
  1788. I SO much want to go to Japan someday and just have those little conversations and hear people's stories. I just feel like I won't know enough vocab to really understand the full gist of what they'd say. One of my favorite things in English is to hear people's stories and learn little things. I remember going on trips just around the states or in different cities and my mom would ask what I did and I'd share the 8000 stories I learned from people while in those states and cities.
    57
  1789. Unfortunately there are people like this people dont'be discouraged you are a warrior 🙏
    57
  1790. Came here from Nomad Push channel and thank You for trying to make this world a better place. Donated 25$ to the AKIRAMENAI. LET'S GOOOO!!! 🔥❤

  1791. that goes to show we need to humble regardless where we are…learning a language is one thing but most importantly learn the culture of that country…nontherless gambate kudasai 💪🏼
    57
  1792. Crashing people's dreams at its finest lol Her:"To learn Chinese i think you need formal education" Employee: "Damm"
    57
  1793. She is just so likable as a human being. Yes she is also attractive and intelligent.
    57
  1794. Wow! I'm having a panic attack watching you in these crowds. I love this video. It is just such fun to watch and see all the American characters that people dress as. Thank you for sharing!
    57
  1795. The lady’s laugh at 6:02 is so intoxicating. Love it😄
    57
  1796. You transitioned so well from your 'hidden camera' style language video to this travel genre. Way better than some others that I've seen who have been doing it for years. Looking forward to seeing more! 😃
    57
  1797. I was just waiting for a collab between you and Matt Vs. Japan! And thank you for calling this stuff out, this has been my biggest frustration with these "polyglots" on Youtube.
    57
  1798. This young lady is absolutely beautiful, so stunning! Obviously very smart too, she is fluent in three languages, and because her mum lives in France, if she went to stay with her, who knows, maybe she would learn French too! Your Peruvian dude was the sweetest young man too!! Great video, thank you so much 🙏🌸🌺
    57
  1799. This was very insightful. Robin shows that there is a way out of poverty. He is technically homeless but more a nomad now…a successful nomad. The homeless issue in the Los Angeles area is complex. Each one has a story and each one has value. It’s a problem with no easy solution.
    57
  1800. MDR “Il faut juste apprendre les 10000 mots” 😂😂 this guy is too funny
    57
  1801. Thank you for showing this part of Japan. People have a really romantic view of so many cities/countries across the world and forget that almost everywhere has these areas. I’m sorry you had to be treated the way you did though
    57
  1802. So jealous. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese and would love to know an Asian language as I love their culture. Asian languages sound so intimidating to me. But listening to her interact with the natural speakers feels so comforting.
    57
  1803. Your Tommy is such a good sport, and his English is getting so good. You 2 make me smile....😊😊😊
    56
  1804. Funjamjapan is such an underrated channel. I'm so glad his wife let him walk his R2D2 again, he needs to see the world and make everybody smile!
    56
  1805. I was normally watching the video and then, by the end of it, I was almost crying in happiness. Everything is possible, thank you for reminding it to us :)
    56
  1806. When you're so proficient in both Chinese and Japanese you start to teach your Japanese boyfriend Chinese, then you proceed talking to your Chinese roommates making him feel like the foreigner. It's hilarious. 🤣 I'm very impressed!
    56
  1807. It’s just a routine check up. Speak to them sometimes. I like how the elderly are able to work in an important capacity and aren’t just sent off to FLORIDA or something 😂❤️ like the US
    56
  1808. The situation of speaking about others in a foreign language was handled very well in the video. Your viewers are now better educated in conduct, if they weren’t all ready.
    56
  1809. Big, big love to that taxi driver. Really made me smile :D
    56
  1810. The truth is learning language is hard... Anyone telling you otherwise is eitheir 1. has close friends/family members that can speak their target language or 2. Someone who jusr want to boast how talented he/she is (like youtuber who just want views) or 3. Someone who are trying to sell you their program I am just n5-n4 level and most of the time I study japanese by my own. It has been about one year,and I still cant read newspaper or 90% tv shows. But its okay, as I have other more important commitment (i am working full time). I really respect to those people who have spent thousand of hours,and have gone through lot of mistakes, embarassment, reading, listening , repetition... and finally achieve fluency level. Sorry for my bad english, english is not my first language.
    56
  1811. The different between your videos and so many others is that you're so down-to-earth; and as a Michigan native myself, you remind me of half the women and girls I've ever known.
    56
  1812. I don't know what to say, but seeing you both embrace each other's culture and just trying everything while being so cute with each other is really wholesome. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us! I really do wish you and both of your families the best of luck and a happy future. :) Your editing and music choice is also really good and entertaining!
    56
  1813. Glad to see both your and Tommy's parents were so accepting. Wonderful to see, wishing you both continued happiness together!
    56
  1814. I like his attitude. I'm a fellow giant at 6 foot 5 350 lbs and deep red hair I've stood out most of my life. I've never been to Japan but I grew up in hoods where I was the minority so catching problems cause of being different is expected. That being said i've learned to not care what people think. I always follow three pieces of wisdom. A. If the person doesn't matter to me why should their words. B. We cannot control the world we can only control our reaction to it. And C. Be like water, don't let negativity and obstacles block your path just veer around it, a fallen tree doesn't stop a river it merely changes its direction. If you can learn to understand that everything is pretty much like water on a ducks back, slides right off.
    56
  1815. Your confidence and enthusiasm is something I envy on such an emotional level. I am Nepalese and Caribbean mix and always wondered why my grandparents never taught our languages down the line, by the time I was born they were too old and now I will never know why..Learning a language when you're more grown as opposed to growing up with it is so different and I just don't have the motivation to learn my native languages. I know it's never too late to start something but I really resent my grandparents for it..
    56
  1816. I once had to have earwax removed at a walk-in clinic. I asked if anybody else had this problem. She said, "Only for middle-aged guys using Q-Tips." (Zing!) I never used Q-Tips in my ears since then. It just pushes wax further in.
    56
  1817. She can't believe that you speak Japanese so fluently 🤭
    56
  1818. You've both struck gold. Congrats, and I hope you two have life-long happiness together.
    56
  1819. Just stumbled upon your channel and it seems life has brought you to an unexpected journey in Japan! I just want to say please do not get pressured by all the new subs and feeling that people are expecting more china or more japan from you. I'm a Chinese expat living in Canada and having a plan to move to Japan soon, and a mixture of both Chinese and Japanese element makes your channel a fresh face in the sea of youtubers. So do what you truly want and I believe there will always be people like me who would find your content interesting!
    56
  1820. super awesome video! so informative and thanks for including donation info for the elderly people!
    55
  1821. That´s a neat shop and his owner is smart. It´s free advertising! I would go there after watching your videos if I were in Japan. Keep making videos with Rody from time to time; you team well (he is a good listener! :D) Be safe! Thanks for sharing.
    55
  1822. No...you'll never fit in. And that's great. Especially in a culture where everyone is expected to "fit in". Having the diversity is great. People will eventually warm up to it.
    55
  1823. I love to see how you interact with chinese people. I would pay money to see hours of content like this, for practicing my Mandarin and because it's so beautiful to see these interactions. <3
    55
  1824. I am impressed when someone speaks more then one language but to speak Japanese and chines is super cool
    55
  1825. Glad to see the video back. This was a really inspiring profile. It's not about money, it's about the passion of the work.
    55
  1826. Call your pants, “loungewear”, and you’re good. No one questions loungewear. Geez, every decent spy knows this.
    55
  1827. I suffer from autism so I can't really get the right words I want to speak and you did better than me and can sing kpop songs fluently and i'm half japanises and half american. not evn 1% korean at all well lova ya bye.
    55
  1828. Greetings from Hong Kong. Hello, Miss Anming. I found your YouTube channel as a suggestion from Miss Amy's channel, Blondie in China. And congratulations on graduating in university, so that you can have more time make videos since the last video in 2 months ago, or once everything are settled. Anyway, it is interesting to see the reaction from Japanese kids, when they see foreigners, this helps them broadening their curiosity about culture from other countries.
    55
  1829. This interaction was pretty funny! “Complimented by an American” 🤣. It’s a weird situation. An American that speaks Chinese to a Japanese woman that speaks Chinese, in Japan. Lol!
    55
  1830. I had a mentor who asked at the beginning of a session to all the students -"What is your ultimate goal in life ?" Most of the students replied with some career choices, being financially independent etc etc. But at last he told "It's good to have goals but ultimately what everyone should strive for is to be happy at present." Happiness is a simple thing that most of us forget to pursue.
    55
  1831. Magnus Carlsen said his chess was ok.
    55
  1832. His passion toward anime is hilarious! I think working in a foreign country is not as easy, you need to understand the culture and of course language barrier is inevitable and now he is doing what he loves! I can see how much he enjoys his work😍✨
    55
  1833. During nearly 38 years in Airport Security in the UK, part of my job was Supervising my Search Team carrying out searches of Air Crew as they pass into the airport to operate their flights. The German and Austrian crews were regulars, passing through our Control Posts. Sometimes it was chit-chat, but often it was critiscm of the security process and discussions about why they should not be doing this - and sometimes harsh words about my Team. So, because I speak German, I used to just wait at the exit door and say goodbye in german (adding a few bits and pieces so they knew I could actually speak the language!) and just to see the look on their faces !! But mostly, I used to learn just a few words of various languages (Japanese being one of them!) in order to just say hello and how are you to the crew as they came in - just to be friendly and helpful and break the ice. Mostly it worked. Although when I asked the crew girls from JAL or ANA if I could look inside their bags (in Japanese), they used to giggle ! :-)
    55
  1834. "I don't think I can use that bathroom..." Well, not with that attitude! 😂
    55
  1835. You have lived a very fascinating life (and you are still so young!), and you are making a valuable contribution to our world - thank you for sharing your experiences and for your hard work 🙏🌺
    55
  1836. My impression is that people are mostly surprised to encounter a complete stranger confidently initiating a conversation as this is not a common thing (especially from a lady) in Asia.
    54
  1837. Fishing is engrained in Japanese culture, it makes sense he caught it so fast. It's the Asian blood.
    54
  1838. She may have an accent, but she's comfortable around Chinese people when speaking Chinese. It's one thing to learn a language and quite another to emerge into another culture like she has. Great job!
    54
  1839. I love getting to see such a personal level of Japanese culture. Amazing how things can be so similar and so different. Eating together with special foods. Saying prayers, sharing embarrassing stories, your parents telling you politely to get your crap off the floor. So nice.
    54
  1840. As always I enjoy your video's for the language interactions primarily, but a very close second is the very human interactions you have with people. Some very brief and some that turn into much more involved conversations. The fact you can do this makes these interactions more impactful not only for you, but for the people whom are happy to learn that a foreign person was willing to take the time to learn their language. Most are happy that visible foreign looking people take the time to learn polite tourist phrases, but when they can interact in their own language their comfort level to interact becomes obvious. Why don't people subscribe? How is it possible to not watch each entire video from start to finish. Anming 7 is an amazing creator of unique content. Her and this channel deserve much more support. I want the longer more involved videos to happen regularly and so should you.
    54
  1841. Congratulations to you both of you! :) It was pouring rain when I got married too - at the time it made me sad when people pointed it out on the day, but so far I have to say that the "rainy wedding, lucky marriage" things has held true, and I wish all the luck and happiness to you too! You looked absolutely gorgeous in both dresses, wow!
    54
  1842. This dude seems kinda funny..people are saying he's creepy and they were disgusted but he's not really harassing anyone he's just talking to random women, i don't see anything wrong with starting conversations ya know?
    54
  1843. Male Japan love blonde girls with Blue ayes animes show this a lot😗
    54
  1844. I’m SO happy to see the rickshaw workers back in your videos! I love how friendly and talkative they are; they seem like they would be so fun to hang out and visit with. Plus they aren’t bad to look at either wink wink 😉. Thank you for another amazing video!
    54
  1845. Samurai Sanders is going to hit you with his 11 herbs and spices.
    54
  1846. Proof that their fashion is great
    54
  1847. That's amazing how you made such wonderful friends!!! 😊
    54
  1848. This is so random but I LOVE all your clothes 😭
    54
  1849. You're part French? 😳 I like how he says, "that's my Island".
    54
  1850. This is great! One suggestion, maybe make the subtitles different colors for the different people talking. Then it's easier to see who said what. I know that it's self-explanatory most of the time, but it's still nice to have a visual clue.
    54
  1851. Ugh, you can just tell this guy is a genius.
    54
  1852. I had a Filipino family come into a Target in Australia, where I was working. I was serving them and spoke a little bit of tagalog with them and they were amazed haha they asked for a photo, and I said yes haha I always thought it was sort of funny and cute that now they have a photo of me working at Target in their holiday photos haha :)
    54
  1853. Omg!! That audience! They look like government officials! You’re a celebrity :D
    54
  1854. Half black half Japanese people are the most beautiful people to me, I find them filled with unearthly beauty, it’s not a type thing it’s an aesthetic attraction
    54
  1855. This makes me feel so relieved. I have been studying Korean, and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve had to do as an adult. I have a science brain, never really had a natural talent for languages, but I’m slowly improving every day.
    54
  1856. Your videos always brighten my day ...thanks for all the hard work. Have a great week 😊
    54
  1857. To be perfectly honest, Wouter is precisely one of those people who make me question the validity of some of these channels. As a fellow Dutchman, I've bumped into his channel and i can't help but notice that he navigates conversations by sticking to a script of very few basic phrases, occasionally throwing in arguments he's prepared, kind of out of the blue, with people he talks to often clearly bemused as to why the telling them that specific thing. And if they start talking beyond the basics, he is often utterly lost. Since it occurs in languages I often don't know myself, it's hard to judge if this is an attempt at giving an impression of fluency when it isn't there or just a personal take on things. Hearing him claim that he speaks 29 languages.. To then clarify that he is fluent in six.. I have to wonder if most of those others aren't just "known" at a very, very basic level, in a "my name is.. where is the toilet?" kind of way. I speak 4 languages fluently and have a pretty good understanding/chance of understanding Spanish and German on top of those 4. I would never claim to speak either of those 2 languages even if i can get around and follow conversations in both. To me, when I see it happen, it smacks of gimmicky grandstanding. Likewise I've seen videos of the departed Moses McCormick talking in the languages I do speak and doing this at a very basic level. Which didn't help fostering trust in what these people are saying, Especially if they happen to be promoting a sponsor who happens to peddle a language learning tool. That said, I do appreciate the social impact and relevance of what they are doing, and understand that they have to make a living. I appreciate that to speak to someone in their own language is always a step in the right direction towards a multicultural society.. And i get the entertainment value, or I wouldn't be watching these videos to begin with. I also understand how the YouTube algorithms work.. And that these channels do foster curiosity towards learning languages. I just wish that some of these people, including Wouter were a little less sensationalistic in their titles, and a little bit more honest and transparent with their fluency in the various languages.
    54
  1858. I do have to admit when someone is at work and they hear their native language, it is kinda of off guard
    54
  1859. Everlasting battle between mom-in-law vs daughter-in-law... scary 😔
    54
  1860. JJ’s mom speaks MORE than “a little bit Chinese”
    54
  1861. This is so neat. I’m just starting to learn a new language and it is refreshing to see people who study other cultures and live all over the world. This channel is so wholesome.
    54
  1862. It sounds like it was beneficial and thought provoking for everyone to have contrasting ideologies discussed.
    53
  1863. Plot twist, this is the first time when chitoge kirisaki come to japan
    53
  1864. This is was really interesting. Thanks for doing the interview
    53
  1865. I feel many people in Japan can subconsciously say things or phrase words in a way that makes "non-Japanese" people feel like outsiders. Even if they don't mean it, even if they've known you for so long, it feels inevitable. Seeing Joshua in commercials and media in Japan gives me hope that at least some people are trying to show what real modern Japan looks like.
    53
  1866. Congratulations! I'm Australian and my wife is Japanese, and we've been happily married for over 20 years.
    53
  1867. So I'm so pleased to know that you are happy and enjoying a personal life :)
    53
  1868. Thank you Pearl for all your knowledgable videos...
    53
  1869. Beautiful wedding, I cried. I'm from Hawaii, and my wife is from Colombia. We both live in Alaska and have been married 26 years, with one daughter. We have bought two homes in Colombia, where we plan on living on our retirement years. My wife is also a very dedicated Catholic and I'm not religious, but believe in God. Congrats to you both. I am 3rd generation Japanese as well, and my family comes from Hiroshima, survivors from the bombing there. Last name Japanese: Takahashi. I really enjoy your channel. I must learn better Spanish, as we are planning to move in a few years to Colombia, but I'm not so talented with learning. I will try my best. Thanks for your efforts, and quality videos.
    53
  1870. As someone who speaks 3 languages, French, Italian and English l can say by personal experience that it takes alot of practice and immersion to become totally fluent. I agree with the video completely. The grammar is important and although some people may have a natural talent for it, perseverance and alot of practice are necessary. Bravo to Matt and Annming for this clarification.
    53
  1871. I totally agree with the learning of local languages. It makes a huge difference. My personal cheat code is to learn the local equivalent of "bro" wherever I go, and use it with a disappointed face when someone tries to scam me on my travels. Usually triggers embarassment and release of withheld return change. "Hello" helps a lot too!
    53
  1872. I'd say china because most of everyone speaks English wants to know japan so they grew more used to it
    53
  1873. He’s living the life and turned himself into a tourist attraction 😂
    53
  1874. "That's exactly what a spy would say"
    53
  1875. I'm always in envy of you when I see your videos.. speaking other languages and mixing socially .. so good to see.. keep up the great videos.. inspiring
    53
  1876. You always demonstrate the power of speaking someone's native tongue. It's great seeing how open people are to chatting with you. It definitely helps when your personality is as radiant as yours. :D You're conquering the Korean language fairly quick, keep it up! Thanks for sharing.
    53
  1877. Finally I see someone promoting Pimsleur, absolute masterclass i language breakdown and understanding
    53
  1878. I feel like Halloween in Shibuya is the best Halloween around.
    53
  1879. Most polite, considerate culture I’ve ever experienced, I fit right in and had nothing but positive interactions with lovely people always willing to help or interact with someone who returns that same consideration. I felt as though I could trust a stranger in Japan more than many star belly sneetches I actually know personally here in the narcissistic west. That trust, honesty and respect are still regarded as inner STRENGTH there was my experience.
    53
  1880. Talk about close to home - no exaggeration, you were actually no more than 20 metres from my front door at 3:05 (and a few other times after that, I hope that was just your editing and you weren't going around in circles haha), and that Coke vending machine under the blue awning is pretty much my daily go-to, I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for you racing past next time ...... I know you make efforts to say hi to strangers yourself, but I find it quite interesting that they make the first approach/talk to you as well, it very rarely happens to me, even in the countryside. On the other hand, in China it happened to me all the time (annoyingly so), so the old pretend not to understand/"ting bu dong" came in very useful. Cool video too with the music, dare I say I enjoyed it a bit more than you just talking to people (which is of course also interesting).
    52
  1881. Lived in Taiwan for two years, learned the language, made lots of friends, lived and respected the people and culture. I wanted to buy a traditional overcoat, the kind with the ties across the front and the long sleeves. Every last one of my Taiwanese friends was happy to take me around to different shops to find one that fit me. Typically the only problematic behavior derives from whether or not there is genuine appreciation or love of the culture versus using it as a joke. It's all about your attitude.
    52
  1882. It depends on the context. 1. If you can have basic conversations, “your Japanese is good” means something like, “Your Japanese is a lot better than average foreigners who cant even say hello in Japanese. I know learning a foreign language takes time and effort so I really admire you ” 2. If you are conversationally fluent, it means “Wow I really admire your effort. It must take so much time to reach that level.” 3. If your Japanese is at a native level, I wouldn’t say “your Japanese is good.” I would say “Is your parent Japanese? OMG what’s going on. How did you study?”
    52
  1883. That was the perfect costume for you! And it doubles as a Bruce Lee costume too if you change the sword to nunchucks. :)
    52
  1884. Living in Hawaii I've learned to tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc. from their clothes, mannerisms and hearing them speak. But as you say, I never assume I will always ask.
    52
  1885. We always think of Japan as these huge and densely populated cities. This is an awesome little dive into something we rarely get to see. And the people are so kind.
    52
  1886. A tall beautiful blond American woman who speaks the native Japanese/Chinese/Korean is literally a unicorn!! Great content.
    52
  1887. I live in Japan and I’ve been struggling to find motivation to keep studying Japanese because it can be so frustrating. Recently at my work one costumer asked me if she could “talk to someone who could understand Japanese” (honestly she wasn’t even rude or anything, I actually couldn’t understand what she was saying). Anyway that made me think what am I even doing here, almost five years and still having so much trouble. But your videos do make me want to keep trying! Thank you so much :)
    52
  1888. The cleaning guy was amazing, so kind and polite. Makes the world look a better place.
    52
  1889. Wow! Definitely never cease to amaze. I don't speak Korean but for a few phrases and words, but I can tell your Korean is improving so rapidly. On a change of topic, tonight's baseball classic game between the US and Japan should really be great. There's like a huge Japanese contingent in the states that really take great pride in their national team, and Japanese fans seem to travel well whenever their team plays overseas.
    52
  1890. Every time it rains something awesome happens to you and Tommy. More downpours please! :D
    52
  1891. Gotta try to watch while I get dressed for dialysis.
    52
  1892. The moment at 5:35 has got to be the most family wholesome thing I've seen all day. Truly warmed my heart seeing this.
    52
  1893. Here i can't play the guitar with 2 hands. I'm not worthy.
    52
  1894. "Please keep living in Japan." What a hecking wholesome statement! \(^o^)/ <3
    52
  1895. I love how you turn a negative into a positive, it’s inspired me to do the same, that way there’s no disappointments! We can enjoy what life throws at us! Thame care, good to see you still ok xx
    52
  1896. Japan was crazy when I moved there. Especially events like Halloween in Shibuya. But as soon as you begin speaking their language they open up sooo much
    52
  1897. Well the dryer question answer is: It's just a huge waste of energy for sth that happens just on it's own.
    52
  1898. No guy with that behaviour comes off as "normal". It's creepy and many of them can't take the hint when the girl isn't interested.
    52
  1899. My sister in law is Japanese and we are British and her and her parents were nothing but incredibly warming to my brother and also our side of the family. At their wedding my sister in law's father did a speech and afterwards did it again in English which we found out he had been practising for months so we felt included.
    52
  1900. congrats , i wish you the best in your rest of your life
    52
  1901. You are like a diplomat, an ambassador, the best one ever! When I was in Africa, I remember getting a lot of attention but not always loving it. I remember the reaction of kids, mostly curiosity but sometimes even fear. But when I felt overwhelmed at times, I would stop myself to remind myself, YOU ARE HERE. I was blessed to be there and see the world from a new perspective and learn other languages. We don't need to be afraid, even with huge differences in culture, we find our common ground. We're all people doing our best and wanting the best for our children.
    52
  1902. Oriental pearl when you learned japanese/chinese is it just like understanding english? Like you hear a word and it's just like you understand it without thinking or?
    52
  1903. Japan is an introvert paradise. But I'm 6ft3. I'll probably get the stares a lot. I hope someday to be able to live in Japan.
    52
  1904. As someone who studied abroad, I really loved watching this. C'était magnifique!
    52
  1905. 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.
    52
  1906. Your Mandarin is very good. The best part is that when you speak Mandarin, you just sound like a regular nice Chinese girl. Language is really the most important bridge for us to understand each other. Thank you for sharing this.

  1907. "Oh, poor thing. Its ears are gone" The tiger: Why are we still here....just to suffer? I'm an atheist but I still respect those who do practice religion because that's freedom of religion. That being said, hearing that hymn in Japanese is beautiful and makes me appreciate the diversity that religion brings. But ah yes, a panda, from China, at a Shinto shrine, celebrating the Year of the Tiger ....like that makes perfect sense
    52
  1908. „We don‘t have much control over what‘s going on in our governments“ laughs in swiss democracy
    52
  1909. Katie's slaying every aspect: looks, vibe, dance moves, fashion, wit...Girl, you slay! YOU.SLAY. ya hear me? ❤❤❤
    52
  1910. I think most of us know this, if you watch those videoes it's always the same conversation over and over again (bad parts are probably cut). when I was living in Japan, I got really good at introduction because it was the questions and sentences were the same lol
    52
  1911. As a person who lives in Livonia, I think you did a great job planning Michigan activities. Hope he comes back in the summer to visit the Great Lakes, maybe go tubing down the Au Sable, visit the sand dunes, watch fireworks (if around 4th of July), visit Mackinac, and take him to one of the "mystery spots". There's one in Irish Hills but there are a couple others too. It was so great to see him light up with each new experience.
    51
  1912. When I took my Japanese classes in college, my friend had spent over a year in Japan already. He also used words we weren't "supposed to know yet" and always got Bs on his quizzes. This is totally a thing.
    51
  1913. I watched a lot of your YouTube programs, but this is by far the best ! Very interesting ! I like when you said you can not change a country... but learn to see the world through your eyes. Bravo... good report !
    51
  1914. I can't get over the fact, I'm so impressed by your videos. The conversation with the fellow youtuber was informative, that is to say, you guys talked about real world everyday use language learning. Man... I love your channel. I'm a loyal subscriber!!!
    51
  1915. Happy Anniversary. You deserve all the success that comes your way. It's so easy to like you and everything that you do. Love you OP. Be well!!
    51
  1916. I love how Korean sounds I was just in seoul
    51
  1917. Traditional Japanese dress is so beautiful as shown by the ladies in the video in places, i really love the look of Yukata and Kimono.
    51
  1918. The little boy was like "yeah that's what I'm talkin bout."
    51
  1919. “ I can stay” lady I teared up 😢. Such real emotional statement !
    51
  1920. Japanese people are so wholesome
    51
  1921. Y’all are so cute ! Tommy’s parents are so sweet and gracious. I love how playful the dad is ! I guess like any other ignorant American, I always thought of the Asian culture as, generally speaking, rather serious folks !🤷‍♀️😁 what a wonderful trip for your mom !!! I can’t wait for part 2, to see what Tommy thinks of America. Thanks so much for your great videos. I’m going to Vietnam in April for the first time. I can’t speak a word of Vietnamese but I’m so excited to go. Keep the videos coming ! I always love to see what you’re up to !
    51
  1922. Ah, I'm so excited to watch the video! ^^ I think it's so cool that you can speak both Chinese and Japanese :D
    51
  1923. One of the funniest episode so far 😂😂😂
    51
  1924. I think it's amazing that you travel between China and Japan.💕 I wish I could do that someday😁😁💕💕
    51
  1925. I'm glad I was sent to English classes after all the kids went home. It was always so stressful because the class started on the exact time that my school ended so I had to rush and be late. But looking back I don't mind because I assume most of the kids that got to go home early can't watch anything in English. And to know English makes learning anything 100 times easier because you can just tap into all the resources that might not exist in many other languages. I can learn Japanese easier because of the good textbooks that are written in English and many good YouTubers teaching Japanese in English.
    51
  1926. As someone who is currently learning both Mandarin and Japanese at the same time, this is very encouraging.
    51
  1927. She's right you are unique. And amazing. This is great. :-)
    51
  1928. love your kind spirit and intelligence! keep it up, and thank you for sharing your adventures.
    51
  1929. I lived in Japan for many years in the late 80's and early 90's, and I was stared at everywhere I went. I'm American and I think I was only called 'Gaijin'. I stood out because I'm a white guy, I'm over 6' tall, with dark blonde hair and blue eyes. I felt like I was Brad Pitt. lol. I was awfully self-conscious of being stared it. I never got used to it. I'm fairly shy, which is why I think it affected me. Sometimes I preferred to stay at home for dinner instead of going out to avoid creating a scene. I majored in Japanese in college and got very fluent after living there for many years. I still speak it every day to my wife at home. What's strange is Japanese people's assumption was that I spoke or understood nothing, and would talk about me right in front of me. I'm much more reserved than you are, so I would just remain quiet. Even now, when we go to sushi bars here in So. Cal., I avoid speaking Japanese to the sushi chef because it creates a scene. They freak out at my fluency level, and then I have to answer the same 20 questions. lol
    51
  1930. It’s all relative. It’s like telling a little kid they did a good job on something… Even if they did a horrible job by adult standards,…
    51
  1931. Damn, this girl rips the guitar with a disability, while I can‘t play any instrument besides mayonnaise...
    51
  1932. Thank you so much for bringing a camera to this area to give them your platform. Your friend you made and the people you greeted all seemed so friendly and courteous. I really hope that this will help them get the proper assistance so they can all have basic needs met. I really hope they are not all homeless. They're all such nice people.
    50
  1933. I really don't think she was following you to be honest. You seem a little paranoid...
    50
  1934. I love the humanity in the videos. It is so heartwarming to see people getting along and enjoying chance interactions between strangers.
    50
  1935. What an interesting and fun video. I'm sure Japan has more 'strangeness' for you to make another one or two of these videos. :D
    50
  1936. American in Japan eating Korean BBQ with Chinese roomates. Do I have that correct? Love that this great cultural mix is treated with normalcy here. We need more of that.
    50
  1937. I have had really positive experiences on HelloTalk. I feel like I've cultivated meaningful relationships with a variety of people from all over the world. I would encourage anyone to join, even if you don't have the time to study consistently. It's a very culturally rich platform. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I love your channel. You're such a joy to watch. I was in China last October. The people are amazing, it's beautiful and honestly... the food is the best I have ever had. I hope to visit Japan in the future. I've only been studying for a year, and I don't feel like I have made much progress. Your videos motivate me.
    50
  1938. It’s impressive how good you are at learning and speaking several different languages! And your social skills when meeting all those people are great too!
    50
  1939. Damn Pearl, I love this channel so so much. It really doesn't matter how shitty my day went; when I'm watching you traveling, interacting and just in general having a fun time, everything just vanishes in an instant. Thank you so much, take care <3
    50
  1940. I can relate this video 🤧 Though I am an Indian, I also love China . Many people ask me why do you love China . They don't understand how much I like Chinese culture and language .
    50
  1941. You getting haters shows that you are doing something right. Haters are people who have problems from within so they lash out at others. Don't give them any attention. Just keep doing your thing. Your youtube channel is amazing!
    50
  1942. It was so hard for me to follow the text, Chinese is so distracting when you try to read :) I used to play the clarinet (and saxophone, same thing) and at every contest, the Chinese were the best. Every single time! Followed by Russians, ofc. So keep practicing the violin in China and you might start a violin youtube channel. How about you play the violin on the channel one day? (I just hope you didn't already and I made a fool of my self)
    50
  1943. I love how open you are to connecting with everyone you meet. Such a wonderful outlook. Thanks for all the enjoyable videos :D
    50
  1944. I'm so amazed by your language talent and how effortlessly you shift back and forth from Chinese to Japanese. No doubt, you have a very high functioning intellect!!
    50
  1945. I was SO excited to watch this, I missed these kind of videos
    50
  1946. how come you only have a few subs? lets make it at least a million :D
    50
  1947. Another winner of an interview. Lisa just making the best of it and doing stuff her own way. I think she'll do well, cause she has the attitude of I'm going to find a way. You keep showing what I guess you could call the other side of Japan. I even understood some of the simpler parts of your conversation. Looking forward to your next livestream.
    50
  1948. You always offer such a unique glimpse of what learning another language can really do. Looked like some great memories were made (:
    50
  1949. Ur so polite and humble, that shop looks amazing
    50
  1950. This was really well put together, you did an amazing job. This is a side that people will rarely see, you are doing the homeless community a great service 🙏💜 Always wonderful to see you and Robin together 🥰
    50
  1951. I enjoyed how you incorporated different viewpoints on this question. Where some people said they were being genuine with their compliments, others were just being polite. Leaving that in allows the viewers to come to their own conclusions but it was also clear that more than likely, someone is complimenting you on your efforts not your ability haha. Which is still worth something!
    49
  1952. Visited Japan and Hong Kong when I was in the Navy during the late 60's. What a difference now in both countries. Enjoy all your videos. Please keep them coming.
    49
  1953. She looks so rad she could be in any commercial.
    49
  1954. Curing depression, one step at a time
    49
  1955. I knew that you were holding back more dog walking footage. HaHa!
    49
  1956. I thought the samurai was real at the beginning! 😃🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
    49
  1957. Are you ‘kidding’ me, Anming’s back! Your absence is now an alternative definition of ‘an eternity’. :D
    49
  1958. I don't understand why people have to point out that if you randomly meet someone on the street he is not your friend .As a youtuber shooting this Video clip with him , you can very well call him casually a friend and who knows maybe some day it turns into a real friendship .Is it just me ? I feel like people turn a non issue into an issue.
    49
  1959. It’s so nice that you are friends with your roommates, hearing you all laugh and having fun is good for the soul....thanks Michigan girl😎
    49
  1960. So happy for you the fact that you’re an American who fell in love with a Japanese guy and adapted so quickly to both Chinese and Japanese culture and language. Very impressive. I think a lot of Americans can learn from this!
    49
  1961. They really just went on with their business like nothing lol
    49
  1962. Your students seem bright and happy. :) You can tell the staff are a good team. Being a teen is hard and kids deserve to enjoy their learning experience!
    49
  1963. You have worked so hard Anming, and should be so proud of what you've achieved. I bet ur parents are very proud too. Stay safe n well please and ty for another great stream.😘
    49
  1964. As a Chicagoan, I was really hoping you were going to bring Tommy here when you were home. Chicago is kind of the Osaka to New York City being Tokyo. I hope he loved it!
    49
  1965. Im glad that you have your channel which enlightens the world about culture language and location. What is unfortunate is the world has a portion of people who will criticize no matter what content that you upload. Years ago I asked a psychology professor about the possibility of a utopian society without crime, his reply is that it will never exist because a few individuals due to human nature shall commit those crimes.
    49
  1966. Hi oriental pearl I know it’s not Halloween 🎃anymore but happy Halloween 🎃 we love your videos keep up the good work
    49
  1967. My goal (and definition of knowing a language) for the languages I learn is comfortable comprehension of books and movies with subtitles with occasional noting down of new words. Not because it constitutes fluency or mastery, but because once you reach that level, it will be fun enough not only to maintain it but to steadily improve going forward.
    49
  1968. Funny how in China, it's polite to say "thank you!" to a compliment, but in Japan you have to say "nah, I'm not that good"
    49
  1969. It's really interesting seeing people's reactions to this kind of thing. It was nice to see that they were positive, but it's still a shame that bullying is still so prominent in schools. I think some of the stares Jesse receives are more out of curiosity. After all, being different from nearly the whole population is bound to have that effect. I'm 6 ft 10, and the amount of stares I get is crazy. If I meet an American, their first question is "do you play basketball?" I just smile through it (people asking my height doesn't bother me, but assuming I have to play specifically bball does get old), and all of my actual conversations have been positive. :)
    49
  1970. I really love how you share your life in Japan and sharing all your journey. It's really inspiring thank you.
    49
  1971. Wow, out of all the videos I have watched, this one really stood out for me. Why? Because it explained to me how you got involved studying first in China then Japan. Worked for the Swire Group in the USA and spent limited time in Hong Kong, but the history of the Swire Group in Asia since the early 1800’s and how they grew to a world wide company is impressive. Your outlook and prospective of the US, China and Japan is one reason I watch your videos. Retired now, but thanks for helping me and others see another side of the world and its views. Again thanks.
    49
  1972. Hey! I definitely scoured for your channel.. I'm the girl in the plaid flannel! I had actually never known about this place until you talked to us and I'm definitely glad you did! On the way to the station we saw some really cool wall murals. We were on the way to our next train so we barely even stopped to look around us, but if we did I'm sure we would have noticed something! Thank you for teaching us about it!🥰
    49
  1973. Hot springs are very incredible. I really love the rain.
    49
  1974. I like the little inside you give after each clip, i think it's a great way of giving your touch to the videos
    49
  1975. Thank you so much for making this video and getting this message out. Sometimes I feel discouraged from my own language learning process when I see these “polyglots” creating this fantasy of cherry picking reality. Even though I know it’s not real. They are kind of the Tv-shop of language learning
    48
  1976. The issue I feel here is more that YouTube allows people to use the platform to create “commentary” content that is controversial and baseless. You are an inspiration to my daughter to learn Japanese like I did in high school and now I am re-learning it again to get my skills back. Thank you for being you - your content is refreshing.
    48
  1977. Have to admit this shocked me about Japan. It was humbling to see the gentleman show us his home, and his desire to assure us of its cleanliness. And upsetting that he even felt the need to do that. God bless him.
    48
  1978. Watching this from the hospital room and it felt like I was there! Love that your mom participated! I was princess peach my first Halloween in Japan :)
    48
  1979.  @OrientalPearl  Right? He mostly spends time in Chinatown NYC and nearby areas. Right now he's learning spanish very quickly and that's been a welcome break from his "White Man shocks Chinese people at the market" type videos. Both are fun. I like watching people interact in different languages. The joys of being understood.
    48
  1980. I've seen a lot of polyglot videos but I've never seen anyone claim to know the language well. What I've seen is, when they're speaking to the native language speakers, they tend to apologize or mention they don't speak it well. Thanks for the video.
    48
  1981. The way how his parents were so kind to her,it was so amazing to see,they are soo kind!!
    48
  1982. Sup! What happened to my brave woman?? but good to see u wearing a mask!! Be safe girl! mUcH lOvE
    48
  1983. I think these kinds of places with bad reputations are interesting. I lived many years in the heart of what is considered basically the ghetto or the wrong side of the tracks. Lots of gangs, and crime. I've heard so many bombs go off that I don't even react to one anymore. I was never scared. The same with my brother who lives in a house that was bombed, raided and shot at. Being afraid is a valid emotion, but it's also pointless. Nishinari is propably safer than most places around the world. You still need to be weary of your surroundings, especially at night. But that goes to every place. Just be observant of your surroundings and be smart and you'll be safe, regardless if it's downtown Detroit or Nishinari or the suburbs of Stockholm. These documentary style videos really show the real side of Japan and are important. Stay safe and give Tommy a hug, poor guy has been worried sick.
    48
  1984. I learned Chinese out of necessity. It still shocks the Chinese that I can speak thier language and its easier to pick up Chinese Gals : )
    48
  1985. That’s an eternity compared to how quick you got from zero to 136K+ subscribers! :D
    48
  1986. I've been to Japan one time and I have seen the kind of people like this before in Tokyo area... Can't remember where. Tried helping them, tried giving them something but they refused mainly because of pride. They said if you want something, you have to earn yourself. It's sad but amazing to see even 80 years old men carry cardboards in the rain.
    48
  1987. 5:15 The way she looked at Yuki it's like she says " Help! "
    48
  1988. I watch Your videos while eating otherwise you just make me hungry in 3 languages 😂❤️
    48
  1989. Damn sis. I just watched your first video earlier today and went down a rabbit hole. And now I’m crying 😂 As my dad tells me and my husband, “Take good care of each other!” ❤️
    48
  1990. It's so cool watching how their personalities change when they speak in Japanese.
    48
  1991. Totally different situation, but it reminds me of one time when my friend and I, (both American), went into a small crowded restaurant in Paris. At first we were speaking French, but the second we switched to English every single person in the joint shut up and you could have heard a pin drop! 😅 It was so weird! Eventually I said something about it, and they must have felt embarrassed so they started talking again. I guess the French are really desperate to know what Americans really think of them! 😂🤣🤣
    48
  1992. Bring plastic bag. “Oh look, a teenager mutant ninja turtle behind you!” Pour stuff into bag :D
    48
  1993. 2:08 lol this actually happened to my friend when he moved to japan, he also said they constantly wanted to touch his tummy 😭😂
    47
  1994. Seems to me as a nice guy. But what he's doing is ... really ... so sad :-)
    47
  1995. I think it feels relaxed and able to hear clearly after the traditional Japanese ear cleaning treatment, isn't it, Miss Anming? And I would love to watch some the interesting activities in Akihabara, since Tokyo is my favorite prefecture of all.
    47
  1996. I live in S. Florida, so I have definitely gotten "Why do you study Japanese, it is better you learn Spanish" quite a few times. It is discouraging to hear that, but it is just like Anming says, I learn Japanese because I want to. My favorite singer is Japanese, and I want to understand what she says myself, so that is my inspiration to learn
    47
  1997. I never understood why people are so attached to a piece of land. Whenever I am asked where I am from I always say, Earth. When I die it won't matter where I came from just who I was. Jessica, I am so sorry for your children being bullied. That is a fear of mine with my own children. Spirit hug. :)
    47
  1998. it's impressive how you can switch between multiple languages in no time without malfunctioning
    47
  1999. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air within the Japanese living and language community , I love how personable you are and encourage learning small talk and conversation skills to actually be able to connect in small but nice to ways with locals . God bless you anming! Stay awesome :^)
    47
  2000. She looks like an anime girl that transferred to japan for vacation.
    47
  2001. You have such a wonderful life experiences in China and Japan. I've known so many Americans at home who never traveled abroad in their lifetime and not knowing what is out there in other lands. I can say U.S. military members like myself are blessed to experienced these type of cultural experiences. Thank you for sharing!
    47
  2002. That was fun. How dare you tell them my secret!😡🤯
    47
  2003. Japanese are totally different from foreighers when it comes to spirits, it is so sacred
    47
  2004. I’m taking Japanese studies later in the year and was super concerned about my third year where I’m living there for a year, I’ve seen so many people say it’s bad and lonely but it seems it’s literally just the opposite. If you make an effort; so will they. It makes a change for someone to post something positive for once!
    47
  2005. I agree, the 'shock' isn't really there when I speak to Koreans. Being half Korean I don't really look Korean, and there isn't a 'shock', but more of a compliment on my Korean language skills. My daughter (1/4 Korean), looks more Korean than I do and doesn't get much of a reaction at all when she speaks Korean. Another great experience you shared with us 😊
    47
  2006. What a good video........I love Japan and many things Japanese, architecture, customs, food and history. Even in poverty they are an appealing people with there politeness and manners intact. Thank you so much.
    47
  2007. I went to Japan with my wife. We were treated very kindly and loved every minute of our trip.
    47
  2008. Well, the only way to learn is by correcting those mistakes😂
    47
  2009. I’m actually proud of you for expressing some of the things your going through while helping others who can relate.
    47
  2010. Amazing vid and Japan is lovely country as always. 🇯🇵💜
    47
  2011. Everyone's panicking and buying toilet roles while Anming is flexing on the trolls by speaking fluent Chinese and Japanese in a video to pass the time :D. In all seriousness though, even though I speak absolutely no Mandarin, I have been learning Japanese for 6 years and I'm at a high intermediate level. I think that your Japanese is actually really good! I hope you do more videos like this or videos where you speak to Japanese people in Japanese. The ONLY thing I noticed that could be improved on was your American accent still showed a little bit when you were speaking, but that was just minor because it was small and Japanese speakers, including myself, can understand you. I'm sure that you'll be able to get used to pronouncing Japanese 100% accurately like a Japanese speakers eventually. I'll admit I've only recently started getting better at my Japanese accent and speaking Japanese at a normal pace because I've been practising it more with friends and speaking to myself in Japanese. You're doing great, so again please ignore trolls who are clearly just bitter and jealous. I've come across some pretty dumb trolls like that myself. Also you're one of the first small channels I'm subscribed to and genuinely excited to see grow.
    46
  2012. You two should do some social experiments together more often when it comes to communication and languages in front of others for example just having random conversations with each other that is none English at random tea shops or restaurants in China and Japan and to get the reactions. That would be awesome.
    46
  2013. Wow, that hair though 😂 I love their style
    46
  2014. Thank you for capturing life's beautiful moments and sharing it with us. You are keeping us sane in these times! 🌹
    46
  2015. I think you both are very academic and love to learn. That’s the attraction that brought you two together. I’m very happy you are devoted to wanting your marriage through the church. Hopefully you will bring your future children up in the faith. Thank you for your videos on language learning and answering the questions about learning that most of us have.
    46
  2016. Flipped the script on him lol. He must have been thinking WTF the entire time
    46
  2017. Omg I can't watch a wedding video because I cry a lot😭😭😭😭 this is so amazing, you guys deserve all the best in this world!
    46
  2018. I am by no means a Japanese etiquette expert, but in my travels in Asia, I found it cuts both ways. I've had people both move away from me and move beside me, because I was a obviously foreign person. I've never taken it personally, because I'll move if it gives me a clearer view of train display so I don't miss my station. On my last trip I was on a train when I saw a guy clock me where I was sitting at the far end of the car from him. He made a bee line for me and I thought what going to happen. He simply wanted to shake my hand, and welcome me to Japan. After this polite exchange he went back to the spot he had at the far end of the car from me. Although I don't take public transportation much in my home country because it is mostly in cities. I've got to drive to get to the city so unless it's really inconvenient I'm taking my vehicle. However, even here people move to get more room, better views, or disinclination to interact with other people. People are people, and there are many reasons why they do what they do. Great video as always.
    46
  2019. I'm impressed how quick you spoke Korean, while still in the process of studying! Is there any tips, how to become comfortable in speaking? How to practice it with people? Or even without? I really need to improve my speaking, cuz I have no confidence at all 😢
    46
  2020. I want to exchange to japan for high school but I don’t know what company is good 😂
    46
  2021. It’s really tough for western looking person to be in Japanese community even if he/she is fluent in Japanese. I am half Japanese and half Western, living in Japan since I was born and my first language is Japanese but still it’s difficult to be seen as Japanese even I am half Japanese. They have to be more open minded to people from various backgrounds.
    46
  2022. When u absorbed the culture and language .. people will look at you as part of them no matter what skin or where you are from .. by the way I love you how enjoy holidays and new year ! Happy new year to you❤️
    46
  2023. This was my first time seeing a video of you and your husband together! He seems like such a kind and thoughtful person, it was heart warming seeing his reactions and happiness being there with everyone. I hope Tommy can visit again and make more great memories with you all!
    46
  2024. So this is what the bride ended up doing after killing Bill…
    46
  2025. Nice to see you linked up with Marinthia❤
    46
  2026. Katie's natural hair is levels. So jealous.My god.
    46
  2027. Dang. Hearing you guys speak Japanese and Chinese are so fun to watch. I’m so jealous. ❤️❤️❤️
    46
  2028. Do you feel like sometimes they don't feel like having a conversation? Can you read that immediately and move on?
    46
  2029. I laughed hard on how you responded to his pick up line, there are literally a bajillion starbucks here in tokyo ahaha
    46
  2030. I opened up a fortune cookie and it says Oriental Pearl channel is going to do very great! Your lucky number is 1,000,000 subscribers :p
    46
  2031. Look at this channel growing. Very cool to be here in the very beginning. Looking forward to the continued growth of this channel as well as the knowledge gained from watching!
    46
  2032. 2:18 she can speaks English, Japanese and Chinese. Amazing. Oh wait, me too...
    46
  2033. If one of your ears actually is blocked, I'd recommend consulting an ENT specialist. It happened to me once (where I couldn't hear from one ear for about a week or so), and it turned out to be some sort of Infection. A mild antibiotic and an eardrop for a couple days after consulting the doctor, made everything go back normal. The relief I felt can't be described in words, makes you realize how the simplest things we take for granted can actually feel like a luxury once you're deprived of it. Nice video, more videos from Akihabara please 👍👍
    46
  2034. This was a really good feature video and on an interesting topic. The United States had and may still have...from the early 20th century in to the 1990s, being an Asian American born in the States, every now and then one would encounter, "wow"! you're English is so good" one would reply or in this case, I would just say, I hope so. I was born here. I'm an American. It's gotten better as we've gotten in to the 21st century, and the US has become really more diverse.

  2035. I love that he tries to make a statement with the dogs too, hes a real one enjoying the little things like walking so lovely
    46
  2036. its so strange that about a year ago i started watching your videos before i even knew i was moving to japan and now in watching them from japan😂
    46
  2037. Nomad - sans 👇
    46
  2038. "Day in the Life of..." videos have always been my favorite.
    46
  2039. This young woman always acts very Japanese in her conversations, being polite and apologizing and being self-effacing. I'm sure it helps her a lot in Japan, that she's absorbed so much about how to interact in the socially correct manner.
    46
  2040. You’re honestly amazing. You’re fluent in so many languages and i just find it amazing how you go around, have conversations, go into the most intense classes, and live you’re life in Asia. You’re amazing.
    46
  2041. We dont have good music shops like that in the US anymore......all those pedals!!! Great video!!
    45
  2042. out of the select Chinese speakers/polyglots on Youtube, you're my new favorite and the one I'm clueing into the most. Your conversational skills are beyond advanced, and it's more entertaining to hear a thoughtful and personal exchange in lieu of the typical "Oh wow you speak Chinese, where did you learn that, how long have you studied" wash rinse repeat crap you see here. Don't collaborate with anyone just to get more subscribers and attention. You would embarrass them with your superior understanding of the language anyway
    45
  2043. I speak a few languages, but mostly there is hardly any reaction when I speak to people in their native language. The best thing for me is when people continue speaking to me only in their native language and try to help me to improve my skills at that language.
    45
  2044. Years ago Anming bought a piece of arid land in a foreign country against other people’s opinions and planted wheat. Today she is on a combine harvester happily reaping her labour of love. :D
    45
  2045. I found the video early today. This is an interesting look into parts of Japanese culture we would otherwise miss out on.
    45
  2046. As an Indigenous Native of course I can relate, Anming people are drawn to your positivity and non-judgmental aura. I’m praying 🙏🏽 for your new family. May you and your husband be abundantly blessed and enjoy your journey in life together. I was 😢touched by your determination to show us every side of JAPAN and I enjoy every post. Your absolutely a breath of fresh air and it’s Great 😊. Keep showing us new experiences and new places. Thanks for sharing this.
    45
  2047. Your husband is so happy to be with you ; Congrats to both of you and to life long happiness :)
    45
  2048. that guy was like what the hell is this white girl saying?
    45
  2049. Bless her, your mum looked like she was having a good time! You're a really wholesome bunch.
    45
  2050. Yeah!!! 1.25M subs. Alyssa and Tommy, you both produced great videos!!!
    45
  2051. Very informative and great video. Thank you so much for making the effort to show us this hidden community. Its so sad they write this place off, hopefully more ppl will come to know and help this community out.
    45
  2052. Yes I love this and I wish more Americans were this open minded about it. I think alot of people are very interested in you there and like it when you start conversing with them.
    45
  2053. Thanks for the video. The effort you put in to keep us entertained is much appreciated 🙂🖖
    45
  2054. 日本の人気観光地ばかりではなく、こういった場所を紹介するのも良いですね。
    45
  2055. Congratulations, and absolutely I’d like to see an update every now and then into your personal lives like a monthly or weekly thing. I mean I think you have a successful formula with what you’ve been doing, and I personally don’t mind seeing more of your personal lives, but don’t turn into one of those sell-out family vlog channels (not that you’re that kind of person anyway).
    45
  2056. Im bilingual myself, but only with English and my native language Afrikaans, and youve inspired me to start learning other languages! Im currently able to speak a little bit of French, and im able to understand most of German, and i can fully understand Dutch, since Afrikaans originated from Dutch. Do you have any tips for me in learning a new language and staying motivated? Much love from South Africa😁🌻
    45
  2057. I used to want to speak 10 languages, but I think that was just "my ego" and too stressfull or difficult to integrate in my daily life. So I decided to stop for now at 7 (5 of them are at a B2 or more, Italian and Russian ares still A2-B1). My goal is to bring them all to a B2 level at least, then I will see if I add more or not, depending on time, motivation... I would rather keep them all at a good level than adding new ones and "forgetting the old ones" 😊. I also realised I should not compare myself to others and should just have fun while learning 😄
    45
  2058. He keeps what little he has so well and he is so proud of his daughter. 💗I appreciate him letting you in and to take video. This is the only we can break stereotypes and learn the truth ❤❤
    45
  2059. Enjoy the remarks of those Chinese. They are just surprised.
    45
  2060. I wonder how many times she's caught people talking about her lol. Would be Such a cool super power to have😅
    45
  2061. Some people just prefer being able to say the basics in 20 languages rather than be native-like in 2. If they're honest about their intentions, I don't see any harm!
    45
  2062. This was such a unique thing to see, thank you for sharing this it was definitely an experience. Considering how many amazing things we all see in Japan through streams and videos, it’s good to also see the sides people don’t usually show. Thanks for keeping me safe too 😅
    45
  2063. I don’t think it would be boring at all.
    45
  2064. Who is Tommy ?!!😁😁
    45
  2065. Subscribed to Drew, praying for complete healing for him 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🫶
    45
  2066. Now that he knows and approves...you can take an entire filming crew next time! :D
    45
  2067. Finally someone said it. I'm so tired of people saying they speak something when all they know is a few phrases or small talk. I speak a few languages but I also say clearly that I speak 3 fluently, one intermediate level and one I can understand but can't speak. The whole "I speak a language" when they cant is so annoying. I always tell people to say "I need to run upstairs real quick to get bread that grandma gave me for my friend". If they can't say it, they can't speak the language. It's a lie. As someone who speaks french fluently, I always find these polyglots bad at it. However I do disagree with the writing part. I knew someone who lived in Japan for 5 years and was totally fluent but couldn't write. Some people focus so much on writing 400 kanji, but don't know the sentence structure, or basic adjective. My kanji isn't great but I can ask for help reading it.
    45
  2068. "your tummy is different then mine" so young yet so savage.
    45
  2069. If I had to choose between the US and Japan, I'd choose Japan. They have health care. In the US, you'd end up in debt if you get sick.
    45
  2070. Thanks for doing great field work, Anming! ❤
    45
  2071. I think it’s also the Dunning-Krueger effect. I’m not a polyglot at all. I speak Gujarati (an Indian language) at home to about a B2 level and I’m fluent in English. Other than that, I speak French and Hindi at an A2 level and I can say a few phrases in Japanese and Korean. When I first started a French, I was convinced I was fluent! It was like the fact that I could say those sentences without hesitating or doubting myself made me believe that I had achieved fluency. Plus, I didn’t know enough French to know how little I knew. Until I actually spoke to some French people and realised I know nothing. 😂 I think a lot of these polyglots surround themselves with people affirming that they’re so awesome that they don’t hesitate when they speak and so they don’t realise they’re not actually anywhere near fluent.
    44
  2072. I just found your channel. You and your friend are keeping the culture alive. I'm indigenous. It does not bother me when other races wear my cultures textiles etc. Because when people wear it they keep it alive! Plus jerks saying, "you'll never be japanese" just reminds me of when women started doing more traditionally male dominated roles like working. We're they trying to be men? No, you are just being yourself and doing what you love. End of story. "You are who you choose to be" -the iron giant
    44
  2073. Well done Alyssa! I’ve been doing monthly homeless outreach in Tokyo with Akiramenai (Don’t Give Up!) for a year and a half. Sadly in the last two months we’ve noticed a spike in the population. Our hope is to open a safe place to supply their basic human needs and guide those that want to get off the street into public housing. Thank you so much for showing the world that even in Japan people fall through societies cracks and need a little lovingkindness so they can have hope. Of course there is no one solution to this issue. But love is the answer to many problems. Thank you and bless you:)
    44
  2074. Congratulations 🎊 In my tradition, rain on wedding days represent the many blessings to come in life, and I pray that it is for the both of you too😊😊 Wishing you both lots of happiness in your married life ahead
    44
  2075. You took him to all the best places, exactly where I’d take a foreigner!! Yates is a 10/10 in the fall and Frankenmuth makes me SO excited for Christmas!!!
    44
  2076. as a foreigner who dreams of working in japan, I'm soo happy i got to see this video and i would absolutely love to see more of these! ❤
    44
  2077. Man this video was so heartwarming. It's awesome that he had an amazing time in America and even wants to visit again in the Summer! Felt super sad when you were seeing him off at the aiport, since I can totally relate doing that with my gf.
    44
  2078. She and her brother look so much alike, it's awesome! I hope that they never forget what an amazing situation they're in, despite all the challenges with people that assume things because of how they look.
    44
  2079. Oh gosh, seeing your father-in-law walk you to the train reminded me of my visit in ‘87. A bank manager walked me to his bank so I could change $ and then walked me to the train station and helped me buy a ticket.
    44
  2080. When they all clapped when she said she can understand a little was the best. Both sides taking the time to learn each other's language even if limited was so great, and reflected one of your points you often talk about, learning a little can open new doors. You and your mom looked so happy!
    44
  2081. Your channel is unique and much more interactive / educational than the others I've seen. Here's to hoping you get those 1 million subscribers and others donate to help you keep going as well.
    44
  2082. Seriously, whenever I am stressed out and watch some YT to calm down and have fun I always check your channel to make sure there is still positivity in the world. Your videos are really wholesome and I enjoy watching them very much. Thanks for your effort to make great content!
    44
  2083. Beyond cool that he didn't mind your video. I mean, it's free real estate!
    44
  2084. Love how pops forgets about it being a new house I’d be the same. “Look at our new house, come and see your giant new bedroom with a glass roof that shows the stars and has a balcony with a spiral staircase and a slide all the way down into a heated swimming pool” Me “What’s in the package? Open the package!!”
    44
  2085. Such a naturally pretty and graceful young woman you are.
    44
  2086. With japanese having so many "homophones", I wonder how someone who doesn't read kanji or katakana for example can have a mental image to differenciate both words sounding the same.
    44
  2087. Haha, that kind-hearted Usain Bolt lady chasing after you! @10:15
    44
  2088. Wow! 😮 You are incredibly talented speaking so many languages so well! ❤️
    44
  2089. I always think that people who blindly shout cultural appropriation at everything is harmful. Do they not realize by labelling everything as cultural appropriation they are creating a close cultural society. Thus widening the gap in understanding, learning and appreciating one another's customs and cultures.
    44
  2090. Love is love, I don't care about race or sexual preference as a bisexual man myself. I think most of our family, loved ones and their family just want to see us happy. I'm happy for your marriage coming up and bonding with his parents.
    44
  2091. I really enjoy these glimpses into other cultures.
    44
  2092. You are one person that I hope every good thing happens to.
    44
  2093. Bringing people together and making others smile because you cannot only speak their language, but have explored their culture is simply beautiful.
    44
  2094. Being positive, respectful, and funny is something almost everybody likes. Doggies attract a lot of interaction, too.
    44
  2095. こんにちは ! Ha ha ha, I’m learning Japanese so I can do this one day, I really wanna go to Japan cause I’m very interested in there culture, language, street fashion, shows, and basically everything about them is very fascinating! :)
    44
  2096. After finding this channel, I realized I’ve never met a foreigner who can speak Chinese. Though I can speak english so that’s fine for me, but for someone like my mother, I feel like she is wary of non Asian people because she never really communicated with them much successfully before, language barriers can be difficult like that where it can alienate or divide people.. I’m not sure if I explained my feelings correctly lol
    44
  2097. I think she's incredible and her vibes are great. I'd enjoy learning more about her experiences. Those Kendama skills of her's were absolutely incredible! She even taught Anming how to do it. I can only imagine how much practise that would take to learn that. People could learn a thing or two from her. I'll definitely be checking out her Instagram 💜
    44
  2098. I’m not learning Japanese anytime soon but always great to see you advancing in your pursuit for excellence. Improving my subtitle reading is a bonus! :D
    44
  2099. If you are watching a polyglot on YouTube, you are probably doing it for entertainment purposes and not to learn a language. Their skill in whatever language they are speaking is irrelevant compared to the entertainment (depending on your reason for watching). Dr. Mike has only been a doctor for about five years. He is not a super genius-experienced doctor but his YouTube channel is number one because of his personality and his content. I like watching Oriental Pearl for Anming’s personality. The channel is interesting. I’m not trying to learn Chinese or Japanese from her. If she studied Korean for a week and then went to Koreatown and had a simple two minute conversation with a few different people, I’d be impressed. It’s more than what I could do. If she said I learned Korean in one week, that’s marketing to get the clicks and likes and money. I’m smart enough to know she didn’t conquer the entire language in one week. If the video is entertaining, it’ll get me watching and smashing that like button. LOL
    44
  2100. ▓▒░  It isn't easy for a native English speaker to master those tones (pitches) in  Mandarin. The fact that you've mastered them tells me that you're a genius. ░▒▓ `
    44
  2101. Rain on your wedding day means your marriage will last a long time! Such good fortune for you! Congratulations and much happiness to you both! 💘💖💘💖💘💖
    44
  2102. The only person I'm trying to shock by learning or mastering a foreign language is myself...I'd be really shocked if I did that. And I look forward to this shock. Thank you for inspiring us English speakers to learn a foreign language.
    44
  2103. i truly wish one day to have your Chinese language skill, I admire you and well done you do amazing videos!😃
    44
  2104. "you ready to die?" nods head 🤣
    43
  2105. This video allowed you to do what you do so well, have real interactions with people in their languages. Heck you even got that Gibraltarian Nathan speaking Mandarin. Damn it looked like you guys were having such a good time. Envious and Jealous I am
    43
  2106. Alyssa, you have an amazing spirit and I'm pretty sure those who you come into contact with benefit, whether that be in a small or great way. Really hope this appeal makes a difference to a very worthy cause. Well done! XXX
    43
  2107. "I'm gonna cut this footage!" makes the intro
    43
  2108. I've learned a couple Japanese words reading subtitles in anime lol
    43
  2109. This is the reason I love living in Japan. I feel very safe everywhere I go.
    43
  2110. This is pretty inspiring. Truly shows how a good support system and hard work can help make wonders.
    43
  2111. I love how you just go and talk 😂 when I can finally travel I will put in that mindset for sure.
    43
  2112. "Why would you even want to study Japanese, you know English?" Hmm...Now I'm wondering if my ex was your teacher because I definitely recognize that tone. hehe I used to call it "unnecessary rhetorical sarcasm" and I eventually learned that she definitely learned it from her mom. 😏
    43
  2113. This is one hell of an interesting video, congratulations Oriental Pearl! 🏆
    43
  2114. Congrats on getting a home in Tokyo! It does look much better than your previous dorm. Your new residence in Tokyo is really nice and luxurious. I'm planning to study abroad in Kyoto or Tokyo but my parents insist I continue further studies in Canada since I don't know much Japanese.
    43
  2115. When someone is being nasty towards you it speaks far more about themselves and their own inadequacy than it is anything about you. You’re brilliant and keep doing you and be your own authentic self.
    43
  2116. My eyes rolled so far back in my head, I watched my own birth. You guys are all awesome. Do your thing, show folks the world, and make your money. There are some people that are far to butthurt about everything. Professional outrage is gross.
    43
  2117. Idk but watching you with those kids around I felt like you are a natural at this and teaching is your true calling. Maybe you're conflicted by people telling you to "get a real job" but honestly teachers, doctors and law enforcement workers are the most vital of all professions and the pandemic only drove that further home.
    43
  2118. I’m from the Netherlands, a small country in Europe. And because our country is so small, most people speak multiple languages. For us abroad is very close! Almost everyone speaks English, most people in the east speak German as well. After that French is spoken by a lot of people.
    43
  2119. I had teachers like that in high school almost but it became quite relaxed in college. it was a shock in one of my classes to see my professor dressed completely casually with long hair and beard and addressing the class in street talk and slang.
    43
  2120. They didn't seem scared at all! hehehe! When they each started pulling you to their side at the same time, wow THAT was scary. They each wanted a "solo" pic with you. Still and all, nice video.
    43
  2121. Yesssss QUEEN
    43
  2122. As a Catholic myself I always wondered what a Japanese mass looked/sounded like. Very reverent and beautiful! And your in laws are so cute haha Happy New Year!
    43
  2123. I love these videos Anming. Sometimes the media portrays Japan as hostile to foreigners and you start to believe it's like that for everybody. But my own country has been hostile to me from time to time. I hope I can study in Japan soon <3
    43
  2124. Thank you for this! I was feeling really nervous because I'm moving to Japan in a few months as an ALT (hopefully), but you showed me it IS possible to have fun conversations with the locals if you make an effort to speak the language!
    43
  2125. Great video as always!! I feel like Japanese people always judge foreigners, but not necessarily in a bad way!! Life in Japan is a unique experience for sure!! Much Love from America!! 🇺🇸💙 P.S. CAN'T WAIT for the honeymoon video to come out!! Very excited to see more of Japan through your eyes!!
    43
  2126. I met my in-laws for the first time last year in Yokota. Even with the language barrier, they welcomed me with open arms and have been truly wonderful.
    43
  2127. I'm sure Japanese people would never have guessed my nationality lol I'm Russian, but some people from other countries have a certain idea about Russians - that we all have straight blonde hair, blue or gray eyes. And I have wavy almost black hair and brown eyes :D
    43
  2128. I just loved seeing everyone gather. Very special times. People are so polite in Japan. I crave some kindness, and Japan is on my bucket list.
    43
  2129. I know poly means “many”, so technically as long as you are fluent in 2 languages, I guess you can be called a polygot. For me, most ppl are either monolingual, bilingual, or trilingual. So I use the term polygot for ppl with fluency in 4 or more languages. You have English, Japanese, Mandarin, and now you are learning Korean. In my book that def makes you a polygot or you are on your way to becoming a polygot once you achieve fluency in Korean. I guess the issue is when can you say you “know” a language, considering they are various levels of fluency. Based on my experience growing up in a multilingual family, I will say if you can’t at least understand a movie in your target language without subtitles, you don’t know that language and can’t claim to “speak” that language. With that said, I also feel ppl greatly underestimate what it means to speak 20+ languages on an A1-A2 level. There is more to A1-A2 then saying “hello my name is damacx” lol. I know too many ppl who took French or Spanish for 5-6 years, and still STRUGGLE to understand a basic conversation in real time scenarios, yet they will tell me they are at a strong B1 level lol. There is nothing wrong with being a language dabbler, I love the concept of wanting to expose yourself to as many different cultures and groups of people as possible. As this video said, ppl have different goals of learning a language. At the same time, just like language dabblers should be equally respected (it is not as easy as ppl in the comments section like to say), the term polygot shouldn’t be abused and should be equally respected for the ppl that put in the work to achieve full fluency (can watch movies without subtitles, listen to music albums, read literature, etc). I mean at this point you got ppl calling themselves “hyperpolygots” lol, like really? To each their own. Hops off soap box
    43
  2130. I love that you shared a meal together at the end. Thank you for discussing hard and hidden subjects. ❤
    43
  2131. 3:14 this needs to be on a loop
    43
  2132. I live in Sweden and used to take Spanish classes in school. One class our Spanish teacher was absent and so my Swedish teacher, who was definitely not the language learning type, was going to act as his substitute. We were all sitting quiet when he walked into the classroom and suddenly said three sentences in what we thought was rapid and fluent Spanish. Everyone was stunned and couldn’t believe what they had just heard until someone asked: “Wow! Do you speak Spanish?” It really seemed like he did but the he told thus that he had learnt three sentences fluently in every language taught at the school to make a good first impression when he had to be a substitute. The sentences were completely unrelated and kinda weird which just made it even more funny. He could have not told us this though and everyone would have believed that he spoke Spanish because there was no one to verify it.
    43
  2133. Congrats! I was born in Asia, got married in the US this year. I was fully expecting to not have my parents there for my wedding, but my mom did some magic in the very last moment and flew all the way here. It’s been such a blessing!
    43
  2134. Looks like you are having the time of your life, I feel if you show Japan respect and like you said learn their language and culture they will respect you in return.
    42
  2135. Wow, what a truly decent man and how great that he allowed you into his space that way!❤ There was nothing wrong with the way that man was living...being poor isn't a crime! He's clean, polite, living his life without harm to anyone!❤🙏❤
    42
  2136. I lived in Okinawa as an Airman in the USAF back in 2003. My experience was a little different, I think mainly because of all the American Military there. We had a decent amount of businesses that wouln't let American's in the door. As far as I know this was usually only nearish around the bases. American's have a pretty bad rap there, the only crime there was committed by Americans. The few times I went to mainland Japan, I don't recall seeing anything like that. Yet for the most part the Okinawans and mainland Japanese peoples were extremely friendly. I can't wait to go back someday.
    42
  2137. I'm happy to see a new video! Your content inspired me to start learning Chinese 6 months ago and that was one of the best decisions in my life. So, I just want to say thank you. Keep up the good work!
    42
  2138. I lost it when she threw up the peace fingers for the picture!🤣🤣🤣
    42
  2139. That's so sweet that your hubby was worried about your safety ❤ Detroit is deffinatly way worse but, Wow all that trash just piled up and left there by the Welfare office😢 Looks like madness. Loved seeing you with a friend who showed you around. I think most homeless people from my own personal experience of being homeless in the States for a few years (always sleeping outside, never in a shelter) are some of the most giving and generous ppl. They would go without something just to help your situation. Much love to the homeless community of Japan.❤🙏💌
    42
  2140. Talks to strangers as easily as breathing. Truly admirable! Hope I can do this one day.
    42
  2141. Places outside of Tokyo look relaxing
    42
  2142. I'm still making my way through Pimsleur Japanese 1 lessons. Already can understand much more Japanese in shows I watch. Progress! Thanks for helping to keep me inspired to stay at it. Also, those kids are super cute.
    42
  2143. 結婚しておめでとうございます！　When I married in Japan (near Enoshima), it was a traditional Japanese Shinto ceremony. I had to memorize my vows in Japanese even though at the time I did not know what the words meant. その時は今年４０年前ですね！　She is still my sweet heart today ... you'll have a great life together ... both of you looked perfect together... beautiful.
    42
  2144. Congratulations, Miss Alyssa.👏🏻 Even your family from America is not present, but it is a wonderul day.💖
    42
  2145. I love that Japan is embracing Halloween more!

  2146. Oriental Pearl brings energy and joy to the family. As an Asian parent, I would like that.
    42
  2147. This must be really difficult for you; keep your head up, keep smiling and remember these hard times will pass.
    42
  2148. If I could go back in time I’d love to do what you’re doing, living in Japan & speaking Chinese & Japanese languages....keep ‘em videos coming..! 👌
    42
  2149. When my fly is undone, I am ready! 🤐
    42
  2150. Maybe she followed you because she's never seen a Russian before. lol You should have made another video of you trying to eat the food you dropped in the puddle. That would be some real youtube shock content! Second channel, perhaps?
    42
  2151. he doesn't look like he will ghost you, but who knows XD
    42
  2152. My mum got asked to have a photo with a woman, my mum thought they wanted to take a photo of the castle. Nope, she has tattoos on her arms and legs and they wanted to have a photo with her because of it lol, very sweet and super nice to disabled people
    42
  2153. It's true studying in an academic setting keeps you motivated because of the competition and investment. Sadly because of the pandemic many of the video classes are failing many of our young students. Your channel has been awesome to encourage me to reach the next level probably level 2 to your level 10.
    42
  2154. That was an amazing interaction with those kids. It was a heart warming experience for me to see this. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. .
    42
  2155. This looked like such a fun night!! I love that your Mom went out with you guys. So glad everyone had a good time and stayed safe!
    42
  2156. This isn't cosplay, it's everyday wear. Harajuku is that kind of town.
    42
  2157. This video warms the heart and makes you smile. You met so many friendly people.
    41
  2158. I can see the title of a future video "White girl rides off with someone she just met on the back of a motorcycle." In these hard times with too much bad news it is important to find some rays of happiness. Thank you for bringing us joy in your videos.
    41
  2159. Knowing a different language is like having super powers in real life. Alyssa is killing the game and motivates me sooooooo much everytime to keep going with my own language learning. We as the public NEED more of these korean type vids. In the words of the famous conor mcgregor - Alyssa is not here to take part. Shes here to take over!!!!
    41
  2160. Congrats on the engagement! This video was a feel good time. All the best to you two
    41
  2161. My latin teacher is at the age of 40 and is able to speak 7 languages including Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Latin and Ancient Greek. He has been learning these languages through most of his life to get to this point as a true polyglot.
    41
  2162. I'm from Scotland and have been learning Korean for 4 years now. I don't have any specific interests in Japan or Japanese but I still love watching your content regardless, and how cool is it that you are now learning Korean too. 화이팅 !
    41
  2163. I thought his Japanese accent was so natural as same as native Japanese!!すごい
    41
  2164. When a girl tells you she doesn't have a cell phone when you ask for her number, as Anming did in 5:42, that's as big a rejection as can be. At this point you need a serious makeover. A deep soul-searching. Lol.
    41
  2165. "Murica, hi 🤣
    41
  2166. Parts of California have some very diverse people, such as San Diego and San Francisco. I grew up in San Diego, and I was always surrounded by and friends with many mixed raced people, and it was not much of an issue for them, maybe because it's just more accepted there? Many of my childhood friends also spoke other languages such as French, German, Spanish, and Persian. It's interesting though how different parts of the states are as far as diversity.
    41
  2167. The editing in this with the dreamy sound effect and random clips tripped me the hell out. Like a fever dream edit. I think.. I loved it though?
    41
  2168. When I’m listening to there japanese conversation my ears feel really peaced
    41
  2169. Sounds like a lot of jealousy. The one guy says that girls that use their body to get subscribers??? That doesn't happen on this channel. So much hate out there. It's a MAJOR achievement to have a youtube channel with almost 500K subs. The blood, sweat, and tears. Look at all the positive from this channel!
    41
  2170. It's so neat to see you go through the same thing I have been going through for many years now. (17 years married) I have known and been a part of my in-laws family since 1994 (28 years, WOW) when I first met my wife. Our daughter is now old enough to respect the customs of her maternal family. It is also neat to see her learn the culture. My mother-in-law was born in Japan, my father-in-law is third generation Japanese American. My daughter is able to understand the language a little more than I can and I am no where near your comprehension. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
    41
  2171. Please don’t ever doubt yourself...your language skills are amazing. Am in ore how you go between Japanese and Chinese. What amazing skill. 🇬🇧
    41
  2172. 6:37 She's not a woman of culture :( :'( "Who is reading this?" oooohhh, so so many people are reading that ;d There, here in Europe, in the West, and just around the world ... like i got bored with live action stuff and i liked american cartoons so i just switched to japanese ones, and mostly because they are for teens and adults too. And mostly for something more serious not these pervy ones. But as japanese comic i have read bunch of these specific ones. First one - Hajimete no Gal - haven't read and haven't watched the anime adaptation - it's comedy, some romance and some sexual stuff. But us i understand that one isn't that good. Second one - Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! - i have read it and will watch anime adaptation - comedy, slice of life, with some sexual stuff, but not really that much - this one is good, fine. Not that funny but it's fine.
    41
  2173. Meeting a person whose name sounds like his occupation. What are the odds of that, eh? Does 'gump' have a Japanese meaning or is it a reference to 'Forest Gump' running around the USA?
    41
  2174. At the end of the video when you started speaking English again was very strange. You speaking English seems somehow out of place.
    41
  2175. You inspire me so much I’m only 10 and I’m trying to learn Japanese because I am going to Tokyo japan next year. I am only doing 30 minute lessons and I try my hardest but you are one of my biggest inspirations. I love Japan so much because it is so interesting and I love anime.
    41
  2176. I feel patriotically American seeing him, no lie.
    41
  2177. I am so happy for you. He seems to be a great guy.
    41
  2178. You completely got him. Like straight up.
    41
  2179. Omg how do you always meet awesome people 😳🥰. The amount of talent in this video is stunning 😭🥰
    41
  2180. 西成のそばの浪速区に学生時代住んでいました。数十年前の西成区のホームレスの人とか日本全国からなんらかの諸事情で 西成に来られた訳アリなホームレスの人だと聞いていました。 数十年前までは大阪の地下鉄構内でも明らかにホームレスらしき人が雨風を忍んでいられたのを毎日見かけていました。アルコール中毒のかたが多いのか1杯のワンカップ酒と煙草だけが楽しみだと聞いたことがあります。西成は日本最後の弱者を受け止めていた優しい街でもあると言われています。
    41
  2181. Xiaoma is good but it is nothing compared to the her level of Chinese
    40
  2182. I really enjoy when your husband is in your videos. I love the whole vibe when you two are together on-screen.
    40
  2183. You should be idolised for showcasing your talent and inspiring other people. Any praise you get is well deserved. I really enjoy your videos
    40
  2184. I'd like to know if her close friends and japanese people in general treat her as Japanese citizen once they realize she's a haafu, and fluent in the language, and that she actually was raised in Japan, despite of her physical appearance.
    40
  2185. Congrats! Looking forward to seeing the parents and Tommy’s first visit to the US. I agree with your choices regarding job and citizenship.
    40
  2186. I been cheating on you been watching JJ seduced by her singing along with her amazing mom. You are still my favorite Pearl and always will be. Forgive me.
    40
  2187. What an awesome, positive guy! I thought I had a difficult identity struggle being a Mexican raised in the U.S. and now struggling to adapt in Mexico. Moving to a different country is definitely an experience! Wishing him all the best! 😄
    40
  2188. As a michigander i'd say you took him to all the right spots! looks like he loved it.
    40
  2189. Japanese homes are so cosy! I love those little tables with the warming underneath and how they are the centre of the room. Seeing a Japanse Catholic church is surreal though.
    40
  2190. That green guy is literally green from head to toe 😂
    40
  2191. I love how the locals think you are russian !! Its the blonde hair and blue eyes! Love your content! 🤘🇺🇸🇷🇺
    40
  2192. I believe you will have over 1 million subs before summer of 2022. You can't be stopped now. You are a locomotive that is plowing ahead. Be safe and be well!! Dan D.
    40
  2193. Great and amazing video. 😂 you sure breaking the matrix with your languages skills.
    40
  2194. culturally speaking videos like these are so damn important It shows REAL actual life because Japan isnt just takoyaki, maids, internet cafes, and anime it's full of real people with lives and many stories similar to our own countries Thank you for putting this video out there
    40
  2195. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and needless to say I find you so inspiring. I'm 30, and started learning Japanese right as the pandemic hit. I'm not the greatest but I've seen improvements which makes me happy. Seeing you be REAL with your language learning journey is so appreciated (ex: you studying while you're on the train, taking those small moments to show when it is you get your language learning in). Thank you. Keep doing what you're doing :) Much love!
    40
  2196. One thing that a friend of mine said once, is that those restaurants REALLY wants a foreign to enter in their establishment The reason is because this calls locals attention, and the restaurant gets full easier. He said that sometimes he would get food for free, just to eat there.
    40
  2197. There are many videos of people visiting Japan and seeing everything for the first time, but it’s very rare to see it the other way around! Was so excited for him to see everything! Love the videos, enjoy your time back stateside
    40
  2198. You can’t fix stupid people, you just exposed a large number of them. The race divide unfortunately is pushed by media and governments for control. People can’t come together if we are divided. I love your channel and what you do. Love from the 🇺🇸
    40
  2199. I love that you are trying things to get out of your comfort zone. I really want to go to an onsen now!!
    40
  2200. Route 66 with a Ruckshaw?! Ganbatte savage mode
    40
  2201. Thank you for providing subtitles. It really helps my learning process.🙏
    40
  2202. Man, you have found such a great balance between informative, exploration videos and your classic reaction, surprising locals speaking their language type videos. I have seen nothing but growth from you and this channel since day 1... can't wait for the next chapter, lets gooooo.
    40
  2203. Best way to learn the language, go out with someone from the country! Love the channel, keep up the good work x
    40
  2204. Thank you cause I’m actually wanting to brush up on Japanese again I’m more better at Thai but I’m wanting to study in japan
    40
  2205. Home is where you lay your head, laugh with your family and company, break bread, and enjoy your time on earth. The Time Zone, Language you speak, Culture you follow or how you get to work is irrelevant. I truly believe if most people had the ability to go around the world and learn about other cultures the world would be a even more beautiful place. Keep up the great work, and Easy with the bad jokes lmao!!
    40
  2206. The Japanese make incredible handicrafts with bamboo, they have found endless uses for it, I have even read that they eat certain parts of the bamboo.
    40
  2207. I'm 16 right now and I'm learning Japanese I have a bright future ahead
    40
  2208. I love watching all the old local people walking around the neighborhood , there’s something so comforting in that
    39
  2209. Going to japan and not interacting with the japanese is like going to a pizzeria and asking for a hamburguer
    39
  2210. こんにちは:hand-pink-waving: We enjoy all you videos, keep them coming. Thank you for representing the US in such a positive way. ありがとう
    39
  2211. Man I love Japan. Just randomly meeting up with an old school beyblade master like that 😂
    39
  2212. OMG I am speechless and in a way embarrassed to give up learning Japanese! You are just sooo awesome! Glad I ran into this video.
    39
  2213. I think it’s great and respectfully to other cultures to know their language and their cultures and never to insult because of ignorance. Waaa this is just wrong, I’m so sorry you are getting backlash for being smart. Ignore the stupid men comments, ignorance is no excuse on all sides, I’m proud of you and don’t be bullied by stupid people.
    39
  2214. You speak so fluently, I'm jealous! Right now I'm learning Japanese, any tips for learning the language? It was a really nice video, thanks for sharing it!
    39
  2215. Living in Japan wouldn’t be a problem since I’m Chilean and it’s pretty much the same with the earthquakes hahaha. I love your videos!
    39
  2216. Anming always gonna keep it real. That's why I like her channel. 🙂
    39
  2217. I love to see relaxed conversation no defensiveness or prejudice, just ppl opening up to you because you understands them & you're real with them.
    39
  2218. Hi Matt, your "Fluency illusion" effect theory is basically the "Dunning-Kruger" effect, there is a lot of info on this effect on the internet if you were interested in knowing more. If nothing else, increased vocabulary is never a bad thing.
    39
  2219. As a Hispanic-American that loves Asian cultures, your videos bring so much positive energy. I have met a few Chinese, Japanese, and Korean families in my line of work, and truly have loved them. They are wonderful people.
    39
  2220. So lovely, interesting and beautiful people you had here again. I really enjoy your videos. Not only your amazing language skills but also the way you interact with people is great.
    39
  2221. Yuki san seems pretty awesome and his outgoing personality mixes pretty well with yours! You should do more videos with him for sure!
    39
  2222. Thank you for bringing this topic up. I really had no idea there was such a seedy underworld of language videos out there. However, I do hate clickbait and misleading thumbnails. I’ve learned to stay away from what is obviously deceitful content (not to mention a waste of time). Love your videos Anming!
    39
  2223. its your blue eyes....and chinese skills :-x
    39
  2224. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in ur own powers u cannot be successful or happy. Money can't buy happiness but neither can poverty. What brings you real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever your doing! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
    39
  2225. You did such a great job on this. Most people may not know just how clean Japan is and how surprising it is to see trash like that just piled up all over. Sorry that guy decided to be so crude, but thanks for shedding light on this side of Japan.
    39
  2226. I remember the "cow" mix up from a few episodes ago, I guess I am retaining some this after all.
    39
  2227. would seriously love to see a series. literally just listening to what life is like and the differences between modern American and Japanese culture is so intriguing. also, missing the chinese.. but really lovely to watch any video you post.
    39
  2228. Mrs. Gerrity is really a beautiful woman, her kids are very lucky to have mom like this.
    39
  2229. Another great video! I love seeing those random interactions (like with the dog) and those flowers were really, really pretty. I wonder how acceptable that lady with the cart is in Japan? Is that normal? In my country such people are looked down upon, as no one wants to usually be bothered when outside, it even makes it really hard to get to know new people..
    39
  2230. I’m blown away not only by the ease in which you speak Chinese and Japanese, both very difficult languages for English speakers, but also by your humility when you constantly tell folks your Japanese or Chinese is “ok”. I’m sure it’s a whole lot better than ok. You’re awesome!
    39
  2231. You are getting popular so one have to comment early to be able to catch your eye :)
    39
  2232. Very interesting the perspective with other countries and how they react to us in their culture. Keep safe and thanks for the informative content
    39
  2233. I love how humble that little store was, good to see hard working Japanese people doing what they can to make an honest living ❤️
    39
  2234. I, an original Chinese, went to college in Japan, now live in Canada, want to say a sincere thank you to you all for being bridges between Chinese, Japanese and North Americans.
    39
  2235. In general there are many guys everywhere that simp, he's pretty weird tbh..
    39
  2236. I love it when it looks like they just spotted a leprechaun
    39
  2237. Ha ha! You tricked the Japanese interviewers! 😂 You should definitely do a lot more of those! 👍 ✨Happy New Year💫 Pearl, and everyone watching. 🇬🇧
    39
  2238. At 7:46. Those kids are so cute! I wish them all the best as they study English.
    39
  2239. So very true. Put aside the politics and most people would get along just fine Be safe and whatever you post, whenever you post, we will be here for you :) Your outfit is adorable btw (My granddaughter is a fan of yours too, we watch you together)
    39
  2240. yay it's been so long, glad to see you again by the way, you got a good figure 😄👍
    39
  2241. I'm part french too, and I'm so sad that I can't speak French. I love the sound of the language; it's so elegant.
    39
  2242. I picked your channel because of your character, personality and your incredeble kills of peaking languages. You inspired me to do the same 😎🤙🤙🦸🦸
    39
  2243. You have always been one of the most respectful YouTubers here. Keep doing what you've always done, I love your videos and apparently a whole lotta other people too.
    39
  2244. Damn if this isn't the cutest video I've seen today. Always love seeing such wholesome videos. Congrats on the marriage
    39
  2245. All though it is a plus to speak the same language, what is most important is that both parties decide to accept each other. Even when the in-laws speak the same language and have the same cultural traditions, if either side is not open or worse dismissive of the other side, issues will arise. Your in-laws are obviously aware that you are not Japanese, but they have accepted you as their sons choice. The fact that you can communicate in their language is a plus, but you are also aware of and honor each others cultural and religious traditions. The very openness displayed in this video, bodes well the future. Probably the weirdest thing to deal with, is you being a YouTube creator, and videoing your interactions. That is not yet a everyday thing, although it's becoming more of a reality, because technology has improved, so that more people are recording their lives. This was truly a beautiful interaction to view. Many thanks to your in-laws, Tommy, and you for taking us along. An auspicious Year of Tiger has been ordained for Tommy and by extension you. Happy New Year looking forward to watching, and hearing the Tiger roar.
    39
  2246. 12:46 “I really don’t like attention... said no YouTuber ever!!!” Haha 😂! At least you recognize that but stay humble! Great video as always!!! United States 🇺🇸, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵 Give yourself credit goodlookin!!!
    39
  2247. I miss Aaliyah (the famous singer), she's gone way too soon, RIP babygirl ❤ Back to the video, what an incredible struggle these two people are going through, they are completely stuck between two worlds and it must be so hard for them to be denied of their roots 🥲
    39
  2248. i really want to learn Japanese language
    39
  2249. Halloween looks so fun and active in Japan 🤩 honestly, your journey inspires me to keep going! がんばります
    39
  2250. Congratulations! Everything was so beautiful including your dress, the after dress, the cake, the church, and the view from the honeymoon suite. You both look so happy! It's sad that your family couldn't be there, but I am glad that your friend was. So happy for such a sweet and funny couple!
    39
  2251. As always your interactions with 人力車 always are fun. Pia also has an open, friendly personality and she explains her experiences in a mature and measured way. Being born and partially raised in Japan, then Sweden, and now living and working in London, gives her a multicultural point of view. She is very bubbly and I'm sure she fits in where ever she is.
    38
  2252. So I interesting! I get sad to hear about small communities “dying” out and homes being left empty. I guess that’s called progress? Thank you for your videos… and Tommy’s English is getting so good 😃
    38
  2253. My Chinese was never as good as yours despite living in Taiwan for 5 years. But when I got back to the 'States I'd frequently surprise people. My favorite was in the bookstorre one time a mother was chastising her son for bumping me or getting in my way or something in Chinese and I just said 没关系 (méi guānxi) (no problem/don't worry about it) and at first the mother didn't realize we were speaking Chinese and started to apologize to me directly in Chinese. So i repeated myself and realization came across her face as either my horrible accent or my western features finally made it through to her.
    38
  2254. I love it, I’m married to Japanese too (20+years) It reminds me of my youth when I set my foot in Japan for the very firs time.
    38
  2255. Thank you for making these kind of videos. And good luck to the homeless man you featured, I hope he can get back on his feet. You said a few times that the official homeless rate in Japan is 0% and people like those in your video don't exist. I really wish you had gone further and explained how the 0% official figure is justified and how they manipulate things to exclude those homeless people in your video. I love your content, thank you.
    38
  2256. Maybe I’d like to study in California in the US, because I want to live like “Full house “ family.
    38
  2257. After all is said and done, You have gained a very nice life experience! Thanks for the video!
    38
  2258. I went to this Brazilian city in 2011 and it is completely different from Japan. I have been to several cities before, and it is so good to look at people and see that they do not look like robots, they are direct descendants of the Japanese, but the simple fact of receiving a good morning and speaking Japanese with such a high level of friendliness makes it clear that they are different.
    38
  2259. Beyblade memories from the first clip! Had a lot of fun back in the day!
    38
  2260. Such a sweet video! I just love the genuine reactions from people when you speak their language with such skill! As a life-long language learner, myself, I've enjoyed watching your channel grow. Congrats on one and a quarter million subs! Warm regards from Atlanta, GA. USA!
    38
  2261. when the guy said "What do you like about Japan? Anime?" i got soo embarrased lmfaoo T-T
    38
  2262. Thank you for what you both are doing to help the homeless
    38
  2263. The code-switching is strong in this one. I love it!
    38
  2264. "You just called me a cow" :D
    38
  2265. I get stared at pretty much all the time in Korea. I lived in Seoul and there are a lot of foreigners but because I have blonde hair and tattoos I tend to stick out more. I wore shorts the other day because its so hot and it was insane, like old guys who literally stopped and stared at me the entire time I walked past them and beyond... But its only because its different from what they are used to. and yes, I definitely get more stares once I start speaking korean!
    38
  2266. How her parents spoke to her in both languages is how my parents raised me too. And I speak both languages! I'm always so impressed they followed through looking back, it must have been such hard work.
    38
  2267. Hi Anming. It's good you show both sides of Japan, from this beautiful hotel, to the jobless and homeless. You and Tommy have a good connection with eachother and you should still be having fun and adventures for decades to come. Enjoy the rest of your day from here in London.
    38
  2268. Waoooo this girl is my role model, I love her. 🥰
    38
  2269. hello dear. The heaviest burdens that we carry, are the thoughts in our head.
    38
  2270. I work for a Lego Discovery Center here in America and videos like yours inspiree to use the extremely basic Japanese I've picked up over the years to make small talk with the wonderful Japanese folk that visit my work Just simple things like thanking them for coming or saying the more informal friendly version of goodbye or saying like "here a gift for you friend" Once I simply counted down in Japanese before snapping a family photo and the shock and happiness that a foreigner in America was making effort to speak a little Japanese I don't think I'll ever forget <3 long time sub keep up the good work <3
    38
  2271. "Big in Japan" is a song by Tom Waits, but it has nothing to do with weight. I know this isn't always the case but, they seemed more curious than cruel.
    38
  2272. He’s a friendly guy that’s never made a girl feel uncomfortable, as soon as he feels their vibe is off he stops. I suggest you watch the clip where he confronts other “nanpas” for trying to hit on a vulnerable girl
    38
  2273. You both are so silly and hilarious... 😂😂😂 Tell your boy friend jealousy is immature and unbecoming...
    38
  2274. 5:13 the biggest WTF face i've ever seen LMAO
    38
  2275. Loved her appearances & such good questions/answers. You both have a good, natural flow together. Keep it up!
    38
  2276. I just love 🥰watching your videos--it's so awesome to see how everyone interacts with one another when they find out you know their language! Big smiles on their faces! It also inspires me to continue learning all the languages I've taken up. I'll check out Pimsleur as soon as I can afford to do so.
    38
  2277. 15:33 Matt describes the 上手 curve perfectly lol
    38
  2278. Interesting! I'm in a similar situation right now. I'm in South Korea right now and I kind of agree with the results. I sometimes also use Chinese instead of Korean when I go to Chinese shops or restaurants. Sometimes people comment on my Chinese (I have befriended some shop owners because I speak Chinese lol), but many also often just take my order normally without any comments. Perhaps reactions are more extreme in Western countries where it is less likely that a "foreigner" will speak Chinese. Interesting topic regardless. Makes me want to test it out even more here in Korea.
    38

  2280. I've been keeping an eye on your subs for the past wee while and have just noticed that your on 1.3 M. Well done, you go girl.
    38
  2281. That bring cash to is useful, honestly I would never have known that!
    38
  2282. Nothing shakes the smiling of Anming’s heart.
    38
  2283. I am Asian. Thank you for liking both China and Japan! There's no comparison of which is better! You are out to learn culture! Thank you for being open-minded and understanding Asian culture! I wish there were more people like you!
    38
  2284. I also love learning languages. Currently, I speak 5. Dutch (native), English and German (school), Turkish and Polish (self study).
    38
  2285. These guys are getting pay to get themselves fit. Actually Anming is the sexy one. Hope to see you soon in your next video.
    38
  2286. I could've watched an hour of this! Thank you for taking us along for the ride! I really enjoy you and your videos. Stay safe.
    38
  2287. I discovered your channel around 2 weeks ago and watched some of your older videos too. And I must say, that I really like your channel, your positivity. Since I'm learning Japanese for around 7 years now (passed JLPT N2 a few months ago) and also strongly interested in starting chinese soon, I see you kinda as a role model now and you make me want to study more and raise my motivation. I wanna speak chinese on high level too someday :) Anyway, thanks for all your work and keep going! :)
    38
  2288. I like how the guy elicited a response from you in English at the end of the video to make sure you’re not a Russian student!
    38
  2289. Anming is like playing Pokemon Go around Chinatown. Definitely caught a few valuable ones today! :D

  2290. Sam is my favorite youtuber period. I just like his personality and think he's funny. Anybody who listens two him for more than five minutes will realize he is a very intelligent, charismatic guy. He is also my Dad so I am a bit biased.
    37
  2291. Such a wholesome vid! You did all the things I would have suggested visiting here. Love you both! ♥
    37
  2292. you finally got your shirt. I helped!
    37
  2293. I love how when someone is giving you flyers in the street, they bow to you as they're offering it to you.
    37
  2294. I love these kind of exploration videos.
    37
  2295. Me: Ah that's Hajimete no... Anming: Who is reading this? Me: ... not me!
    37
  2296. I love the politeness overload. Let's hope it rubs off to your viewers!
    37
  2297. Japanese English: "High Tension" - used positively meaning "exciting". First heard it in the chorus of a Japanese song, I thought they were singing about life being stressful.
    37
  2298. I think I need to go to Japan cause I have really bright blue eyes and dark hair lol.
    37
  2299. Very interesting! I heard that working in Japan may be stressful due to the long hours but I would like to see what the actual experience is like! Have you ever felt overworked?
    37
  2300. This is pretty late but i am a language ethuasist that is currently learning Japanese and Spanish at the same time. I am personally a victim of watching these polyglot videos and i have compared myself to negatively to these people to the point where it had acutally significantly affected my mental health. I already struggle with anxiety and clinical depression and it didnt help the fact the inferiority by looking at those polyglot videos made me feel like i was not learning the languages fast enough or i am not talented enough to learn a language. Now that i seen this video. i realize how much foolish i was to be believing them and comparing myself to them. Now thanks to your video and words, i will continue to learn the language and i will never feel inferior or give up on them again.
    37
  2301. I have never actually thought about it before. I'm happy I've now been shown this now, I've always just been amazed when they speak in different languages but never question if they can actually can speak it properly. I think a lot of people who actually watch those videos don't even know the language itself. Thank you so much !
    37
  2302. Glad you decided to post on YouTube though! Loving your channel! I totally agree: If you currently feel stuck doing something you don't like in your life: You always have options for a happy future if you make the change! You don't even have to move half-way around the world for a positive life change experience, sometimes it's just about changing jobs or making new friends!

  2304. Imagine doing something you enjoy and entertaining, at time of writing, at least 476 thousand people just to have someone criticize you on things that are irrelevant to your content. My guess, this is mostly boys who desperately want to simp so are angrily pushing the feeling down and lashing out. Keep up the great work!
    37
  2305. Personally, I can only speak two languages at an advanced level. English and French. all the other languages I might try to speak are not conversational, not even "introduction" level worthy... Aaaaand... some of my friends are like "woah, you're so good with languages! you can speak like... 20 languages ! or even more !" and i'm always like "Nah dude... I only speak two... I just know how to say Hello in 20 languages, which is really not the same thing" I really don't like to have people viewing me speaking in an another language as being a polyglot, because... well, I really ain't one. To me, advanced level is really the goal anyone who wants to learn a language would be something they should try to reach, not only the "conversational level" (roughly 3000 words known in the language, and indeed I consider this to be kind of a useless measurement because : if you have vocab but the way you speak is s**t, then it's as good as useless.) I'm currently starting (for the past 2 months, lol) to learn russian, however I struggle a lot to learn it, and those "fake polyglots" youtube channels are really a thing that can "break" someone's view of themselves, thinking they're just worthless in comparison to them. To anyone learning a language : Do NOT compare yourself to someone else.... It really isn't good. Btw, I can tell that a lot of those so-called "polyglots"... they mostly suck when it comes to speaking French, like... there are always hints when i'm thinking : "This one is a fake".
    37
  2306. I'm studying Japanese since 2 years and I don't understand the whole meaning when she is speaking with them, I have a long way to go....
    37
  2307. When people hate on you for doing good things, it generally means you're doing something right. Keep doing you.
    37
  2308. Congratulations on your 1 million subscribers. Your new home is beautiful. So sorry Drew on your diagnosis. Praying for you!
    37
  2309. You have inspired me sooooo much I am now studying Japanese after I get better with my Japanese I’m studying Chinese! </3
    37
  2310. Late reply but just seen this after watching Xiaoma and Laoshu videos. Your mandarin sounds really good, hope you take off and good luck in your studies!
    37
  2311. You looked amazing in that Kimono!
    37
  2312. Anming, thanks for being real. I've always wanted to go to a little place like this and it was fun! Here in Hawaii, we had/have some Japanese TV programming called Soka Ga Japan and/or Soka Ga Shiritai. It is so much fun to watch as these people go to different places in Japan and interject themselves into the lives of the local people to see what their life is about. This kinda had that vibe to it and I can see you doing more exploratory videos in the future. It would be awesome if you could do that for Japan and China!
    37
  2313. Your humility and your amazing ability to speak so many languages (Hard languages for westerners at that) just blows me away every single time! Even my son overheard your Cantonese and had to come and look at what I was watching and was shocked to see that you're a blond haired, blue-eyed woman! You're just out of this world!
    37
  2314. Yusuke sensei! He is an amazing instructor! I love watching his channel and training with him. Also I am a HUGE martial arts nerd so thank you for the video!
    37
  2315. Another banger here! I must say (from first hand experience) You are so friendly and approachable and the fact you can communicate in their native language makes it all the more special.. The free food tour looked good haha
    37
  2316. As much of a proficient asset to the country Jessica is, I sometimes wonder if Japanese society truly see legal citizen Gaijins as Nihonjins ,even if they might be vehemently immersed in their culture, possibly more than even Japanese themselves?
    37
  2317. You are so awesome. Not just for your language abilities, but also the way you interact with people. I live in Thailand, visit Japan often, and I love your videos
    37
  2318. omg this is such a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I have so much respect for you and what you are doing. This is so amazing!
    37
  2319. Wow! So glad to see this side of your life. Hope you have a happy and blessed life ahead ❤️
    37
  2320. Omg! This is exactly what I experienced in college with a native Japanese teacher, in my country!! Our class even had to bow in the beginning and at the end of the class!! After one year of learning by that japanese method I can say that I can do the tests ( from 0 to 20 I finished that year with 19) and I can catch some simple conversations and words but if you ask me to talk, I can't!! And my will to go again to college for the second year with the the same teacher is zero! 😅 I'm glad you shared your experience here, I'm feeling better!! Thank you!! 🙏💖😊
    37
  2321. Dude…. I love this girl? How fluent is your japanese compared to Mandarin?
    37
  2322. I totally agree people in tokyo may be cold compared to other places. But as i grew up in countryside of japan, i just want to share my opinion. When we live in the urban side, the countryside is always nice to ''visit'' though it doesn't always mean it is also nice to ''live'' in. People in countryside is more conservative and may not be tolerant to foreign culture and way of behavior. Tourists are always welcome but it is because its temporary. It is different story when we try to be part of their community. People in cities, somehow is indifferent about others. They don't wanna(or they can't) mind business of others. That makes them seem cold in general. People in city adores countryside and vice versa. They both have positive and negative side. So lets balance them. Guess Fukuoka may be a good place for that
    37
  2323. Anming, This experience is so precious for others to experience and read about! If you share these encounters of others who have broken through the cultural barriers of learning a language, you are doing a great service to others! The kendo, the archery, Chado, etc, that others outside of Japan have come to experience and love and have internalized for themselves represent a form of internal mastery that, to me, are the keys to learning and loving a language and the people who speak it.❤️💝🙏
    37
  2324. These two seem like perfect friends. Slightly awkward and slightly not.
    36
  2325. That's cool 😊 I love hearing people play on public pianos.
    36
  2326. 5:29 haha this guy is a legend he made the mic drop dance from BTS
    36
  2327. Congrats on 1 million subs! Well deserved. Being a tourist in your own hometown is weird but also so much fun. I've discovered so many cool places and things to do as a tourist in my on hometown. I highly reccomend people to do that, even if it feels silly.
    36
  2328. That would be amazing to take a month and just immerse yourself in a language. Need to save up my vacation time and try it out! Been watching Korean dramas lately like Attorney Woo. It's fun when you finally start to pick out words and phrases. It's like opening up a whole new world.
    36
  2329. No wonder no one in Chinatown can understand me half the time and I was a translator for the US Census.
    36
  2330. Just discovered you channel and love your vids. I studied “abroad” (Quebec and France) but it pales in comparison to your studying in China and Japan. What a great ambassador you are. Impressive.
    36
  2331. How did you memorized chinese radicals and characters in general Iam a bigginer 😊
    36
  2332. Damn. You meet so many cute girls ... and I live on the other side of the world :(
    36
  2333. That song what should be from anime I was like: "I know that one, Lisa sang it! But I know nothing about the anime which it is from."
    36
  2334. The 2 boys and R2 are the most random encounter anyone could've imagined. Even an AI wouldn't be able to generate such a random encounter. It's literally unbelievable. Moreover it's in a rural area and it really opens a question, why is there a Droid in the first place? Hah this video was amazing and hilarious!
    36
  2335. I love how you can switch from one language to another so seamlessly. :)
    36
  2336. It’s nice to hear you’re Catholic! Congratulations on getting married!
    36
  2337. This kinda gave me some confidence to travel. I used to be like "OMG im fat etc" but I realize I'll never be Japanese Korean etc so I don't have to worry about fitting their standards of beauty but I still have overall anxiety etc.
    36
  2338. I can't count how many people I heard saying "there are no slums in Tokyo/Japan". I didn't know this place, but working around Shinjuku every now and then, it's quite hard to miss that there are quite a few homeless people here. When I mentioned that I saw a slum in Osaka people usually look at me as if I were lying (because, apparently, that's impossible in Japan) 🙄
    36
  2339. Famous last words: "I wanna fight the teacher!" 😁🤺
    36
  2340. Wow you are having interesting conversations. This sets you apart from many other youtubers. really nice
    36
  2341. I really liked this kind of content, I would love to see more! Keep up the good work, you've inspired me to start taking japanese seriously.
    36
  2342. It really feels good that Japan has always been supportive of building a strong infrastructures in Bhutan to counter earthquakes...😊😊
    36
  2343. I loved a lot of these interactions, something I didn't think would happen when I first went. I do agree, that as an American, we are typically way over self conscious. What I think is very unique is when you meet Chinese people in Japan and there is like this mutual happiness to see each other and speak Chinese. I wish Japanese were always that warm. Hahahah I love the "classic" ehhhh, got that a lot when I went to Mishima-Kita.
    36
  2344. So funny! I team-taught English with a Japanese man who could understand English but couldn’t speak it. I could understand some Japanese but wasn’t proficient at speaking it. We had whole conversations with him speaking Japanese and me speaking English. The other teachers thought we were crazy!😂
    36
  2345. I'm moving to Seoul, Korea in January to teach English so this video is super timely for me! I'll definitely use this as a reference for my own language learning. Your content really motivates me!
    36
  2346. Japanese Children are adorable. 🥰
    36
  2347. Tommy is just the coolest guy in Japan now!
    36
  2348. Ah,yes,people around the world are inherently good people. I speak English,when I am around someone that does not,I don’t start saying horrible things! I love how you surprise them,they are always happy and HONORED that you have taken the time,and discipline to honor them. You are one of the masters🥰
    36
  2349. I think living by yourself is in part a western or American thing.
    36
  2350. i just started learning Japanese:) i’m 14 and i live in the netherlands so i just speak dutch and english
    36
  2351. These old men and women where the ones who built Japan to its greatness❤❤❤
    36
  2352. You two are very well spoken, honest, and intelligent. I appreciated a lot of the points made in this video. It’s fantastic to see educators with such passion.
    36
  2353. Your family should love hubby.
    36
  2354. Congrats on the masters degree . Hope you find work you enjoy. And make allot of money. But most of all stay happy and healthy. I always enjoy your vids. Thank you.
    35
  2355. 8:02 man, you should learn Japanese first.
    35
  2356. what u guys do is absolutely respectable. haters are just jealous, if you have jealous haters then you're doing something right. keep sticking to it. my only criticism for wouter is that he rambles too much when he speaks different languages without getting answers to those questions first. lol
    35
  2357. I like your Chinese/Japanese Culture Conversation Project in Tokyo. Thanks a lot for your Work and stay healthy. Your Voice is pretty. I would pay if you make Teaching Chinese Language, because in past I learned Japanese, but want to learn Chinese too. It's possible or you are not interested to make Teaching others Chinese Language? Best greetings straight outta Europe/Germany at Time. Aaron
    35
  2358. The multiple cultural aspect in this video, Japanese, Chinese and American English, makes me like the world more every day! I'm loving the mix of different backgrounds in here along with the Japanese sites, shows how the Japanese are much more accepting of different cultures than they are stereotypically portrayed on tv.
    35
  2359. Me! I would cringe everytime in class, even though I knew what it meant 😅
    35
  2360. A friend and I went to Japan a few years ago. Before the trip, we started learning some of the language and about basic customs. We didn’t want to be rude or inadvertently offend someone. I feel like it went a long way for us. We traveled with a group, all of whom are were strangers and seemed to know nothing about the culture: they were surprised when they kept having to take their shoes off indoors and got tired of drinking tea. On a day when we were going to have the afternoon to ourselves and then meet back up for a Japanese dinner, one of the other tourists yelled out, “everybody make sure to have a good lunch since we’re gonna be having a terrible dinner!” My friend and I were beyond appalled at that remark. I found the Japanese to be very nice and amused by my attempts to speak their language. I like to think they appreciated the effort. I was by no means fluent but I made sure to learn a few key words and phrases. Some of the food was a challenge for me but I put on my game face and treated it like mother’s milk. I have maintained my interest in Japanese culture long after my trip and I would love to go back.
    35
  2361. This is so wholesome 😭 ! Omg I would've been so stressed with the language barrier
    35
  2362. I wonder if that Australian girl has seen this video yet lol, hope she's okay. Based off her body language she seemed super shy.
    35
  2363. It's amazing how international Pia truly is. I liked hearing about her upbringing in different schools and how each country taught her different things. Those gentleman you met on the street were fun to hear their stories as well. 💜
    35
  2364. I am in a fb group for learners of my target language and as much as I want to give that community a chance it does worry me how big the pie chart number of members there are that struggle to even begin because they have this notion that there's a "fastest way to learn a language" so they fear to even start in case they get the "slow outdated way". I also have seen some toxicity of looking down upon people behind themselves in their journey. Today a person asked "why is this the way you write this instead of this way, I don't understand?" And I saw a bunch of gifs and memes and emojis doing facepalms or similar, and one person only responded "I am so glad I know this answer" without offering the beginner any answers. Some helped but they got so drowned out that I felt so bad for the author of the post. So many people in that group will eventually hate either the language or language learning altogether because of these mentalities making it harder to plant your seed and watch it grow into an adult strong tree.
    35
  2365. Ive been to japan more than once and when i talk to elderly about my dream of living in japan or being in japan for a very long time they tell me 'please live in japan forever' it always WARMS my heart or makes me cry and i have to explain to them i just love that they are ao inviting and welcoming it makes japan feel like home.
    35
  2366. The Philippines is different when it comes to mixed race. I have said it many times before. Centuries of Inter-racial marriages have produced a very mixed race Filipino. In fact many of our local and even International Celebrities are of mixed race and proud of it.
    35
  2367. If you say "I can speak X language", most people take that to mean you are reasonably fluent in that language like high B or C level. I know how to greet someone in probably about 20 languages, I would never dream of saying I "speak" 20 languages. This is where it makes the entire thing feel cheap. If people that claim to be polyglots were more up front about this, I wouldn't have so much of a problem with it, but they're generally not. They mislead and play the YouTube clickbait game, fooling people that don't really know much about the process of language learning. It's lying by omission, so I personally choose not to engage with that type of content.
    35
  2368. What shocked me during the economic bubble of the 1980s were the number of homeless people. These people were invisible in the daytime but would congregate at the west end of Shinjuku station from around 10:00 pm, living in their makeshift cardboard boxes for a good night sleep. Mostly they were older Japanese men and I never saw any women. Come daybreak, the homeless became invisible again. Sometimes you would see volunteers from the Shibuya Baptist Church bringing meal packs. I wonder if they still do it today. However, the way it looks now in the video, it seems a lot worse.
    35
  2369. Sweetheart you're just fine the way you are, don't change to accommodate anyone you made this channel from being yourself and the people were with you, you can't change to fit them they have to change to fit you it is your Channel!
    35
  2370. Finnish has always been appealing to me, and it's cool you're taking advantage of having multilingual friends for opportunities like this. Although finnish isn't spoken by many people and it's not related at all to the Scandinavian languages, it has a certain appeal. Maybe soon you'll be making videos in Finland!
    35
  2371. When you become a YouTube it’s like your back in school with the same bullies that you got away from when you graduated. The bullying still affects you viscerally though. Just stay with people who support you.
    35
  2372. I smiled the whole way through. My cheeks hurt. Epic.
    35
  2373. 1.15 "he is a master at training dogs" - He is also a master at not getting their leads tangled.
    35
  2374. For a slum area it still looks pretty good. Sweden has some slum areas, but they are filled with crime and drugs (it's also a no go zone), so I usually do not recommend tourists to go there for their own safety. But I'm surprised they are so friendly in Japan in the slums.
    35
  2375. 50 words a day is honestly pretty insane... That's a 1000 words in 20 days :O What was your retention rate overloading your brain like that?
    35
  2376. The people who claim your channel is only “shocking people with languages!” Clearly haven’t watched most the videos on your channel. You very clearly state that a lot of the time people do not even have strong reactions. You help break down stigma a lot of people have from places outside! Keep at it girl (:
    35
  2377. I really like rickshaw guy. He's a lot more charismatic and especially casual and genuine than you usually expect from a japanese street vendor (or whatever generic term you wanna use for "person who sells good or services by talking to people in public"). In everything I've seen they are usually less reserved, but still very billboard professional in their language and vibe. This guy has big "normal dude" vibes and i fuck with it.
    35
  2378. As a Finnish person learning Japanese, after reading some of the comments, I can really agree to both comments about him. As soon as he started to speak, I instantly recognized he's Finnish😂🇫🇮 but also his Japanese just flows from his mouth like a native. 💁🏻‍♂️ For me it seems like he can produce speech just as good as native Japanese people, but there are some sounds that just sound so Finnish to me, awesome video!
    35
  2379. 6:13 I’m doing that dance move once I hit the clubs after this pandemic 😂 old lady is full of energy 💪🏻
    35
  2380. Before I was in Japan this is exactly the type of thing I would watch on repeat. P.S. Give the dude a break we are in quarantine. Noon is the new 9 pm imo. lol
    35
  2381. I have been playing Duolingo for months now and I can already say フォークをください Hey, I am not going to die of hunger.
    35
  2382. I've realized getting a partner who speaks the language you wanna learn is the fastest way to master it, so I'm currently going to the gym to build muscle first for learning the language
    35
  2383. I'm an Earthling. We're all Earthlings. Crazy world views!
    35
  2384. The network you are building is amazing! You are doing such a wonderful thing bringing awareness to an "attitude" or "behavior" that someone may not even think about. For each of the people who treat her different, they only might have seen her once.... but, its everyday and everybody she meets for her... Your videos are full of beautiful and interesting people.. Please keep them coming... smiles abound! From Tennessee, USA
    34
  2385. i love their outfits so much. they look so nice omg. also i was dying when the 'confused eh' came on the screen lol. but damn the amount of japanese u know 😭 ur practically fluent
    34
  2386. Imagine subconsciously hating your life so much that you have to FIND something to hate about someone else that doesn't directly affect you... so that you can feel any semblance of superiority no matter how hollow it is... Ignore the haters.. they crave attention to fill their void more than anything else. Don't give them the satisfaction.
    34
  2387. Congrats finding a life partner. It's really an amazing experience
    34
  2388. You two are very cute together...Reminds me of my "younger days".
    34
  2389. Seen a lot of these polyglot video's and noticed that some of them claiming to speak a language, but they only can have a two minute chat about some city's, a popular sportsteam and the local food. And there it ends. This way I also can claim to speak ten languages, but speaking only three languages fluent.
    34
  2390. “It which must not be named” 😅😂
    34
  2391. The Japanese people are so heartwarming and gracious and their smiles light up my lounge! Thank you for your amazing videos!
    34
  2392. ...and that's how we achieved world peace.
    34
  2393. Love to see that they are also laughing with you, because making little jokes is, I think, another level. It seems that you've mastered it very well. Still loving the surprised faces. I've also noticed that you often walk away and then say goodbye (without looking back). Is that also a cultural thing in Japan/China?
    34
  2394. So does she feel more Japanese or does she feel more American? I personally got more an American vibe from her. But admittedly that's only partly because she speaks perfect American accented English and partly because she seems to exude confidence and social openness (not what I take to be typical Japanese traits). But I'd rather hear from her though. Thanks for sharing btw.
    34
  2395. That was a blast! So much fun. The fact you gave out candy is even better. Quickly everyone subscribe and get free candy. Tokyo treat for everyone! Your mom joining in on the fun on Halloween night was sweet. It's crazy all the types of costumes you see in Shibuya on Halloween!
    34
  2396. Man, at the beginning of my language journey those YT polyglots with their 10 languages really intimidated me, until I realised that they speak their languages only at an A1-A2 level. Crazy how knowing four languages to a high degree still made me feel like I was lagging behind. -.- Most language learners online only seem to flex their speaking abilities (that usually just revolve around very basic daily topics), they probably cannot even read news articles in Chinese, let alone books. While girls like us soon have master’s degrees from programmes taught entirely in Mandarin. 😎 keep that quality content coming! 🤗

  2397. Glade to see you and another inspiring video. Many years ago I lived in Germany and was lost speaking no German. I took the time just to learn the basics and what a difference. I wasn't lost and enjoyed my time much better. I think it's beneficial to learn different languages it can help. Take care till next time 😇

  2398. @orientalpearl this is so wholesome. I enjoy these family clips alot more than anything on YT. Tiny cars just keep everyone so close literally and figuratively ❤ Here’s to no fighting between you and the inlaws ever 🎊

  2399. anming is a cheerful person. She sometimes sings and dances.

  2402. These are the following reasons why I am learning Japanese: 1. To flex in front of my friends and family 2. I love Japan and its culture 3. I might go there in future 4. I only know Urdu and English, so it is good to learn an extra language 5. I always wondered as a little kid how Japanese characters worked 6. There is a game called Dai Gyakuten Saiban. It was never localized, only released in Japan. So I really wanna play it. Also, please give me some tips to learn Kanji!
    34
  2403. I'm in love with this channel! It's like watching one of the top travel shows on tv. (Better tbh since this feels more personal) Amazing content! Keep it up!
    34
  2404. A non anime fan in Japan is so refreshing to see 🤣😁
    34
  2405. Another good interesting video with interesting characters that delves deeper into the real world. I like it.
    34
  2406. what an incredible guest! I've loved your previous ones already but this one takes the cake! the way he interacted with the kids was so fun and natural :D I hope you get to do more videos like this. And I'll definitely check out John's videos/documentaries
    34
  2407. My friends sometimes make fun of me for trying to learn Japanese, saying I'm just doing it to understand anime without subs (but that's how you know you reached your goal lol), but I want to be able to make friends that also speak the language! Sometimes the only thing that keeps a friendship from happening is a language barrier c:
    34
  2408. Another HelloTalk happy ending!! Congratulations! My wife and I met first on HT as well! We have been married now for 4 years. Best of wishes to you and your wonderful new life!
    34
  2409. Not a big fan of recording those kind of interactions but in this day and age it apparently takes "courage" to talk to people face to face
    34
  2410. Forget the languages I'm here enjoying her gorgeous voice and laugh
    34
  2411. 3:28 WHATTT SHE IS A YOUTUBER VERY FAMOUS!
    34
  2412. That is one depressing room. No windows :(.
    34
  2413. This is actually how we were taught English at school in my country (Spain), especially the recorded tape exercises... 😭😅
    34
  2414. I'm Blackanese too! But I came out looking mexican w straight hair n everything lol 😂 It's always cool seeing other blasians
    34
  2415. Never respond to haters or even acknowledge them. They will use it against you to troll you. What they said about you is really shitty and it's a natural human reaction to be defensive, but that's a bad idea on the internet. (I'm talking about the second part of your video, not the hacking part) That automated comment was not an actual ransom, just a joke meant to cause a reaction so they can make fun of you. There is no elaborate scheme to ransom or hurt you, it's just trolling. I think the guy on instagram was just alerting you about the site, I don't think he had any involvement or bad intentions. I really like your videos btw, I don't want you to get bullied :(
    34
  2416. And then girls wonder why there are so many "Vegetarians" Looking at these makes me kinda cringe
    34
  2417. me : learning both is too hard and i will never get there. you : exists. me : i have found my inspiration.
    34
  2418. So you don`t think it is embarrassing to talk to strangers in the street, but if they have watch your videos on youtube it is :D
    34
  2419. I really enjoy your videos. It’s so refreshing to see wholesome content during these unusual times. Thank you for taking time to give us a glimpse of your life overseas, and that you flawlessly merge English, Chinese, and Japanese together. I took one year of Chinese at University my senior year, and I’m amazed at how much of your conversations I can understand. I’ve never formally studied Japanese, but I grew up around it because my older sister studied it, yet I’m surprised how much I understand. (Chinese is easier to learn for me lol) It’s fun to see how much people light up when you speak to them in their native languages, and when you are genuinely having fun appreciating their culture!^^ May you continue to stay safe and healthy this year. ^^
    34
  2420. Happy Valentine's Day! The chocolates looked divine. That was such a lovely place to stay with a private onsen. I hope to try out the onsen experience one day. You both looked like you had so much fun together. Just a little slip here and there to watch out for, the ice can be deceptively hidden under the snow lol!
    34
  2421. This is awesome touring around with you. Your way of connecting with everyone individually, no matter the language never ceases to amaze me 💜
    34
  2422. Wishing you both happiness, love and success in all that you do together.
    34
  2423. All the very best for your job hunt. 👍Hope you get a job soon 😇🙏
    33
  2424. That's the progression I've often had described, too: "Your Japanese is really good!" when it's dreadful but at least you're trying. Then you'll hear "how long have you been in Japan?" added, once your Japanese is still pretty primitive but isn't entirely cringeworthy. Then once it's actually good, you'll never hear another compliment. lol I'm still at the "Your Japanese is really good!" stage... =/ I'll get better.
    33
  2425. The thing that always reminds me of Japan: "Relaxing Cicada Noises"
    33
  2426. the fluency illusion is so real - i watched one of those videos and was so impressed until the minute they started speaking french "fluently" and suddenly the whole illusion just crumbled and i realised how basic most of their language knowledge must be...
    33
  2427. I love these people who reacted as if they had found their lost daughter :-), you should meet this nice people again back in Shanghai
    33
  2428. I was so excited for this video as a Michigander!! Most of the time when influencers come to America, they go to the big cities or come from the big cities so it's nice to be like, "Oh! I know exactly where they are" Thank you for making this video, Anming <3
    33
  2429. 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.
    33
  2430. They recently added Finnish to Duolingo!
    33
  2431. I love how You speak all these foreign languages, which are indeed so difficult for people from English speaking or European countries, because they are so different. I know only two foreign languages, namely English and German (and some words in French). But would like to learn some more foreign languages in future. It's interesting but of course it's also hard work, especially when You start with a completely new language.
    33
  2432. I'm not crying, who left this bowl of cut onions here? I just have to say on a serious note though, I want to send you a big congratulations! I will definitely try Hello Talk now for sure. P.S. The kimono suits you so well.
    33
  2433. I love how you're so relaxed around his parents, very natural. No wonder they like you.
    33
  2434. I love this new series, can’t wait for the video to go live! 💜
    33
  2435. your ability to just randomly grab strangers for a conversation is pretty amazing. no fear
    33
  2436. The same applies usually to the countryside of many countries in the world, where international languages are not usually spoken. Many people are nervous to start a conversation in "fear" that you won't be abe to communicate. It always help if you're able to at least have a basic conversation, especially if you're able to speak a little of the local language. This is what I love to do (when possible) and learn more about the local culture.
    33
  2437. We lived in 台東区 for five years. I have a cute little story to share: we went to Sensouji in the morning, my waters broke in the afternoon, and my son was born at 10 pm 😀😀 on September the 8th, 2009. Had he been born two hours later, his birthday would be 9/9/9 😀
    33
  2438. Japanese is so difficult to grasp, but it's really rewarding when you finally understand how a new phrase or word works in a sentence. It's also extremely fulfilling to understand not just spoken Japanese but to be able to recognize Kanji when reading something in Japanese. I hope I am able to learn Japanese well enough and am lucky enough to be able to afford to travel to Japan one day and try out everything that I've learned in a practical setting.
    33
  2439. When it comes to learning new languages, one shouldn't have to justify themselves to anyone for their reasons to do so. It promotes the mentality that one should act their own race instead of entering into another foreign culture and being seen as some kind of intruder/poser. English being the official international language of the world and the many people that speaks it proves just how versatile and easy it is to learn compared to the many other major languages of the world, so it's not surprising that the locals aren't shocked when a foreigner who's first language is not English manages to speak it But other languages, especially Chinese and Japanese are some of the hardest languages in the world to learn. So it's understandable that the locals might feel impressed, even proud that a foreigner managed to take an interest in their language and culture, but it's not meant to make others feel uncomfortable. I don't get how anyone could view learning a complex language as some kind of liability instead of an advantage. Official translators for example, especially those that work under the head of state is a high paying top level career, they don't just let anyone do it, one needs to have a general affinity for learning languages to even have a shot One cannot curb their desire to learn just to placate societal norms or for vanity sake
    33
  2440. Those young ladies were so sweet and I loved how much fun you all had talking ❤ Thise moments are super special 💓
    33
  2441. I had no idea it was so common there to know Chinese and Japanese. I love how surprised they are that you speak both so well! Unfortunately we never have that response in America, we expect someone to speak English…
    33
  2442. Love TkyoSam, I don't agree with everything he says but he really has taught me how to live a better life.
    33
  2443. Since I started watching your videos everything has gotten better, nice edit nice background music, and great topic. Your videos are the reason why I started learning chinese😃.
    33
  2444. I was laughing at the "Hao chi" because if you don´t listen too closely it sounds like our german "Hau zu" which basically means "Strike them down!" (aka encouring someone to slap someone else XD)
    33
  2445. I love her self-awareness and focus, what a cool woman! When she was talking about taking “me time” (totally normal expectation for a western mom) as a mom in Japanese society, she showed such backbone yet also grace and cultural understanding, you can see her deep love of Japan right there, also her strong identity as a western woman. Her glint in her eye reminded me of the great line in Hello Dolly, when Irene says to Minnie, “Minnie, we’ve been respectable our whole lives… now that we’re living in disgrace, we might as well make the most of it!” Very cool person✌️😎 Love this channel, keep up the awesomeness!
    33
  2446. I remember when I was traveling on a train in Germany (in the early '80s when there was still compartment seating). I was talking in German to my compartment mates. Two more people got on at a station and came into our compartment. They tuned into our conversation which was related to their observations of the 'average' American - USA, that is. One of the newly installed occupants leapt into the conversation and began venting her ire and frustration with American attitudes. Haha - the other occupants were horrified and tried to shut her down before she got too far down that rosy path. When the new occupant realized I also lived in the USA, I think she wanted to drop through the floor. I quickly assured her that I agreed with her assessment and was able to turn the conversation to the whys of how we Americans might behave in other countries. (imo, fear and uncertainty due to sheer lack of exposure to other cultures, as well as the shock of not understanding the surrounding language). They assured me that I did not act like "an American". And they actually seemed relieved, as well as cheerfully helpful, when the conversation would get beyond my German language skills, so I would make mistakes, or not have a word I needed. At least, they learned that not all Americans are alike...no more than any other cultural group, really.
    33
  2447. Don’t ever admit to a bad person that you’re scared or nervous bc then they have one up on you. Never never do that. And be confident and speak the truth on what you know is wrong. Always. Don’t let anything stop you
    33
  2448. I can't wait to see your photos? Just curious did your family not want to be included love...or was it because covid restrictions prevented them from attending? I am sorry it rained that day..but you both look so happy and in love ..you already got through your first hurdles together as a couple...you will have many lovely years ahead of you...I have been married almost 24 years now..to a man I adore more every single day..I pray that for you both
    33
  2449. Aw i love how happy everyone is when you take the time to learn their language
    33
  2450. It was so much fun Anming ありがとう😌 The next one would be Kendo?:)
    33
  2451. I love your conversations with the young ladies. Their kimonos were beautiful.
    33
  2452. Even if you were bragging, you have all the rights to do so! You are a great Japanese speaker who must have put so much effort in their studies and I admire you. Do not let others tell you what you can do and what you can't do. See you in your next video!
    33
  2453. Just gonna say that I've watched many of your vids and I really admire you for being so brave talking to strangers. I can't even send messages online to strangers, and you said you sent 40 a day AND met up with some of them hahaha
    33
  2454. Tropical people are more direct and looking into each other's eyes. Northern people are more indirect and avoiding eye contact in general. "An introverted Finn looks at his shoes when talking to you; an extroverted Finn looks at your shoes”. Typical.
    33
  2455. Sort of reminds me of the Vegas tunnels. Its close to popular tourist attractions but yet there isn't exactly a easy solution to getting homeless people help either. In many cases homeless people don't even want the help that is available to them because they don't actually want to integrate back into society because they have rejected society as a whole and they are content with little. The ones that do make it out usually just decide to make the change one day but it seems its few and far between. Its a sad tough situation for sure but this was a great video!
    33
  2456. Oriental Pearl, you truly are an inspiration for children and adults to be open to new cultures and languages. Well done again. Love your content.
    32
  2457. The hug from that young girl brought a tear to my eye two or three in fact, it was as if you just got vindicated for doing what you do so wonderfully with all the people you meet. It was one of the best things I have witnessed on youtube, and the fact that it made you absolutely thrilled too was great to see, even to the slight mock misery of your beloved hubby, HA!.
    32
  2458. Them dudes have some serious quad strength from doing that all day
    32
  2459. Visited Japan for a few weeks on a homestay several years ago. I didn't get any weird stares. Although, I didn't speak loud Mandarin in a convenience store without a mask on during a pandemic (as there was none). When I speak my native language in the US, I'll get noticed there as well, and asked where I come from or what language it is. Being different or behaving differently just makes one interesting, I guess, in any country. I don't think this is specific to Japan.
    32
  2460. "You scared the heck out of us as soon as you spoke..." That has to be the highest compliment anyone can receive.
    32
  2461. I’m a long-time subscriber and have the 🔔 turned on. Love, love your channel! I can’t believe that so many people don’t watch your videos to the end. I don’t WANT them to end. 😘
    32
  2462. Very interesting how you’ve changed your body language as soon as you’ve started speaking japanese! Sugoi!
    32
  2463. So you can watch animes without reading the subtitles, lucky you :(
    32
  2464. I remember when you only had 500k subscribers. You've come SO FAR! Keep up the great work! <3
    32
  2465. i just know a word “ arigato“ arigato “ “ arigato “ and i told my friend that i really good at speak in japanese 🤣
    32
  2466. She is so cute/pretty. She has a beautiful voice.
    32
  2467. 6:52 Never stick your tongue out in a fight. If you get hit in the jaw, you’ll bite your tongue off.
    32
  2468. Kindness and humility. You figured it out at a young age. I’m learning Hindi now so I can honor and pay respect to some local Indians. It’s awesome.
    32
  2469. sometimes you need to immerse yourself in another culture and language to be able to see your own culture from a completely new viewpoint and truly understand yourself and your culture.
    32
  2470. those people are so polite and gentle! I'm always impressed at videos like this one. Your language skill is top notch!
    32
  2471. Foreigner that speaks Mandarin better than me. Nice. -A Jealous Native From Shanghai
    32
  2472. My heart sank when she said "We normally use TikToK" :( TikTok... I just don't get it
    32
  2473. The most interesting thing is that you really know their customs and family issues! That chinese man was took by surprise when you talked about Mother-in-laws!
    32
  2474. You'd be lucky to meet one person like her in a lifetime
    32
  2475. 5:38 the hat is from Nepal. We call them "Dhaka Topi" here
    32
  2476. You inspire me so much to keep learning Japanese, I’m 15 right now but i hope when i get older i can come to Japan and be able to speak fluently.
    32
  2477. Wow , I Did Not know you went to Northwood University !! I was Born and Raised in Midland , and lived there for my first 43 years of life !!!

  2478. You've come a long way, I remember subbing back when you were just starting out. I feel like a proud mother rn for some reason hahaha
    32
  2479. OMG, hearing you speak Vietnamese at 1:00 makes me smile. Your content is always amazing!!
    32
  2480. I love how she let them touch her hair cause they were curious. Not many black women don't like it and feel like they are being treated as a petting zoo. As a black woman if anyone is curious about my hair I would let them touch ONLY IF THEY ASK FIRST❤🌟
    32
  2481. i could buy my whole village with the hills and forests in bosnia with that money :D i hope you and your husband will have a lot of beautiful memories and happy moments in your new appartment <3
    32
  2482. U deserve all the success… such a beautiful soul. Japan is lucky to have you… keep up the great work!!!
    32
  2483. I think traveling a lot growing up, made me realize very early on that these kind of setbacks are simply a part of the traveling experience. Seriously, every single trip I've gone on to went wrong in one way or another and I've just accepted it. It’s all a part of the thrill, but I am fortunate that nothing seriously bad has happened to me, not yet at least. I always remain calm when I'm in a sticky situation, that's how I keep my sanity. I definitely agree with you on the fact that traveling in the media(especially youtube and instagram) is very glamorized, and it gets tiring real fast, you are a breath of fresh air. Really enjoying your content!
    32
  2484. I have a friend who speaks fluent Mandarin and we went to a Chinese restaurant here in the United States and the guy had his back to us as we came and and they started talking, then when the employee finished what he was doing he turned around and asked where the Chinese guy went. lol.
    32
  2485. That’s sad when the young people don’t like tradition or culture .
    32
  2486. I hope to learn Japanese one day to communicate to people like this, the world is full of amazing people. Right now I'm learning German, so I can't wait to go to Germany and speak with locals. :) Good video! Ps, the kids were so cute
    32
  2487. Jessica is so cool, to see someone wear & love our culture is very heart warming, i welcome others who also "appreciate" our culture and other cultures ❤🌍
    32
  2488. She straight up grabbed your arm...
    32
  2489. Believe it or not, what helped me a ton moving my japanese forward was watching Terrace House...
    32
  2490. Absurd. Nobody said anything about people learning karate, kung fu, judo. Why should a more niche traditional sports make a difference and suddenly become cultural appropriation if anybody not from the original country wants to practice it?
    32
  2491. "Jōzu desu ne..." (usual response)
    32
  2492. I'm so glad you're getting more subscribers! You're almost at 100k! Also I've found myself saying "haii" and "unn" in my English conversations ever since I started studying Japanese more 😅🤣 Thank you for another video Anming!
    32
  2493. It’s nice that you keep yourself busy while being stuck in Japan. Looking forward to what’s next.
    32
  2494. It’s amazing how music brings people together 🙌🏻
    32
  2495. This was a really interesting video, with someone I'd never heard. On my journey to learn different languages my motive to learn some of these languages was very different. In school in junior high we were all required to learn French, and for two weeks Iwas eager, and learned a lot of terms which I still remember. Then the school was chosen for a pilot project, and only one class was to learn French, and I wasn't in that class. In high school I was again required to learn French, but I was no longer motivated, and only learned how to mimic phrases with no understanding of the words. After two years I got out of class having learned nothing. Because at one point I worked a Canadian Government job where I was required to answer phone in both of the Official Languages of English and French. I'm a contrarian, and the greeting was the full Departmental name in ones primary language and just hello in other language, So after my indicating I thought it was a stupid policy to give a greeting in a language I could not function. I complied but in my own fashion. I learned to mimic the pacing and pronunciation to answer in French, a language I could not speak, and say hello in English I was theoretical fluent in, as it was my first language. Apparently my French language greeting was so good that my friends whose first language was French said, I sounded like my first language was French. Since most people wanted wanted to engage in English it confused some people initially, until they realized I could fully converse in English. Where it was really fun was when I dealt with other Government employees usually in same department whom wished to converse in French and found I could only greet them and then say I didn't speak French in French. These individuals who could usually also speak English would become upset that I couldn't converse in French. I would point out policy was to greet in both official languages which I always did. Policy did not say anything about being able to communicate in both official languages or that most of the greeting had to be in the language of greatest fluency. However, in travelling to non English fluent language countries I always learned basic greetings and phrases, because I thought it was the polite thing to do. I never really had a problem learning these snippets of languages. When a friend wanted to go into a government paid French immersion training course, he convinced me go and take the language learning aptitude test. My friend had aptitude to learn a second language and I apparently didn't. I never tried to really learn a second language for years, until I went to visit a friend whom lived in a country where Mandarin was primary language so I though I would try to learn Mandarin. I crashed and burned, learning only a few greetings, because I didn't have a real drive to learn Mandarin. However, I found that being a fan of Japanese history, I wanted to learn Japanese. However, being basically lazy. I tried a few of those YouTube learn Japanese in 15 minutes a day, or 7 days, or thirty days and reached a plateau and didn't improve. I got a Japanese teacher who I could only see one day week for an hour. I improved a little but like Stuart said, because I only did a couple hours a week of homework I was progressing very slowly. I found I improved when I was in Japan, but didn't get to retain most of the improvement upon returning to Canada. Then the last two an a half years happened, and after no classes for six months, my instructor told me that she didn't think she was helping me, and dropped me as a student. I know what she said but really I still wasn't putting in the effort. I purchased a few courses, books, and because for the first time I really enjoyed the language and culture of Japan, I was finally ready to put in the required effort. About this time I discovered the Oriental Pearl Channel hosted by Anming and she spoke directly to my growing realisation of the effort required to become functional in Japanese. After viewing a couple of her video's I immediately subscribed. She said that when she was learning Chinese and Japanese, she spent six to 8 hours a day, every day. I've occasionally spent more time, but I always spend a minimum of four hours every day on Japanese language studies. My Japanese has improved from horrible to bad. I draw inspiration from Anming, and I enjoy all of the content on her channel. Another long winded post, but it's what I've learned and why I enjoy Anming and the Oriental Pearl channel.
    32
  2496. I've heard that they still use notbooks to memorize and practice how to write characters because you forget when you don't do that.
    32
  2497. Re: 1:06 , I use my poor N5 Japanese every day in Tokyo, and my frequent errors are never corrected by anyone. It's still good practice, but I wish I got feedback and corrections. Is this different in China?
    32
  2498. Brilliant. I'm along for the ride. Keep jumping on rope bridges. Looks like fun.
    32
  2499. Pigs ears are sold in the USA ... they are yummy....
    31
  2500. This really brings back memories of a few similar experiences I had. When I was just turning 21 I lived in Okinawa for 2 years. I eventually made friends with people and they would take me out to town, all while trying to teach me the language and everything. Me being an American that could barely speak any Japanese, everyone was still so polite and fun! I never went out during Christmas much, but Halloween was where it was at. I remember Strangers coming up to take photos and try to speak with me, as well as just hang out and have a good time. The atmosphere is completely different from the States. My heart aches knowing that those times of me being there are past. But seeing videos like this one gives me the motivation to try and learn Japanese once more, and to find myself back over there in the future. Thanks for the great vids!
    31
  2501. Hanzo mains unite! lol Also, kinda interesting how she has almost an American accent now.
    31
  2502. "I don't even know what language i should speak at this point" .Klingon is always good, adds to the spiciness of life.
    31
  2503. It's so wonderful when someone learns a language to develop friendships across the globe.

  2504. Its really cool to see interactions with Japanese people, especially when there is R2-D2 lol. They seem to be really friendly and amazing to have a conversation with!
    31
  2505. I'm really tired of all these so called polyglots and the conversations they show on their video is pretty much the same over and over like why not talk about something different in those languages.
    31
  2506. 你好 Oriental Pearl！Thank you for having the courage to do this! Let the haters hate, because at the end of the day, you are helping a lot more people than those haters. For one, You inspire and motivate me to challenge myself to continue learning Mandarin and to go out meeting new people to make friends with! 谢谢你！keep up the amazing work! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻

  2507. In Beijing, the poor were hidden by huge walls in hutongs. The last time I was there ,there were major reconstruction projects of these areas to be gentrified. It is sad how even here in Canada we move the homeless from one place to another for the sake of land owners wanting to improve the value of their properties. No compassion. So sad. Thank you for continuing the conversation about poor and what still needs to be done.
    31
  2508. Listening to you speaking both English and Chinese really relax, i can hear all :))). I love it, could you do more video like this? Very helpful, thank you <3
    31
  2509. lol I recognized the Japanese pianist guy, like his videos
    31
  2510. This girl is so likeable! Your adventures always make me smile. You've come so far and are on a path for even greater things. God Bless Anming!
    31
  2511. Hope I can enjoy Halloween in Tokyo someday, it looks so cool!
    31
  2512. Her vids are always awesome. Lot’s of culture being discussed. People think just because you can communicate in a foreign language that you will have no problem. But you gotta understand the culture, values & traditions of those people to really communicate well & be taken seriously.
    31
  2513. I’m trying to learn 3 languages Korean Japanese Thai And Mandarin Chinese🤍 But Chinese and Thai is really difficult. I recommend Korean though, it’s easy and pretty fun to learn! I learned a lot by watching kdramas and listening to kpop But if you want to learn Korean please don’t just watch Korean dramas and listen to kpop I also am studying it.
    31
  2514. I love the mask, very cute! And hey, someone finally didn't guess you were Russian right off the bat
    31
  2515. I like how Anming exactly knows her "value" when it comes toward High School boys. After a moment's hesitation, everybody wants a picture so badly. 🤣
    31
  2516. Japanese is truly a beautiful language which was one of the reasons why I wanted to learn it years ago. Before the pandemic I used to refresh my Japanese when we had flight attendants from JAL stop by the grocery store I work at to pick up lunch and supplies. I actually impressed a few of them with my small knowledge of basic Japanese. I hope I get to see them again soon but I feel like it will be some time before the flight attendants can safely return to the US.
    31
  2517. Take care of yourself and other people. -wear a mask -avoid physical contact
    31
  2518. Congrats on your marriage. Love your videos
    31
  2519. I can relate in a certain way. I am Brazilian with Japanese background. I was born and grew up in Brazil, BUT, there are a lot of Asians (Japanese ) in Brazil. Brazil has the larges Japanese population outside of Japan, so people are very used to people like me that look like Asian but speaks perfect Portuguese. There are a lot of Chinese and Koreans too. Now I live in Canada and I go through what Joshua goes through here. When people ask me where I'm from and I tell them I'm Brazilian, they all look surprised and I explain... ☺
    31
  2520. Definitely easier to learn now with the internet language courses are a dime a dozen. Just getting the right quality of teaching and at a pace that's right for you.
    31
  2521. I spent a few years in the Far East. I discovered the people are amazing. They are polite. They are genuine. They are courteous. And they are willing to experience new things from a foreigner. I’d go back if I could. Good luck in your travels… And yes, I subscribed.
    31
  2522. You’re moving on up in the business world. The hotel looks great with a youthful feel to it. Now just don’t let those honorifics take you down! 😂
    31
  2523. Well that wasn't too awkward considering the circumstances.. Both sets of parents handled it well. Good people. Loved the deer. I'd love to hear your husbands first impressions of the US and whether or not it matched his expectations.
    31
  2524. Instantly becoming one of my fav youtubers lol love u
    31
  2525. Sometimes the smallest of words and encounters really means a lot. If hypothetically every single person was like this on earth we would be living in an entirely different world.
    31
  2526. You are so pretty!!! It’s still hilarious to me to see everyone’s faces when you speak Japanese. It’s so perfect! I’m still getting better myself. I used to study an online class with a teacher from Kyoto. Very short but I’m still finding more things to learn from
    31
  2527. Their looks are amazing! Wish I'd experimented with crazy fashion was younger. A bit too old for it now. Oh well, maybe in another life. ☺️
    31
  2528. Fame at last... be asking for your autograph next lol 😂 excuse me we brits are watching too, not just the Americans lol 😂 take care be safe 💕🇬🇧
    31
  2529. Poor thing!!! Glad he found his passport!!!! ❤️👍Have fun kids!!! ✌️Blessings, from a jersey mom in athens!!! 🙏💋🗽
    31
  2530. She's so nice. What a great personality, and makes a great film.
    31
  2531. It was sad to see those who are struggling in Japan but uplifting to see the fellowship and support they share in their struggles. Also, it may have been editing but I don't think so, SO MANY SMILING FACES!
    31
  2532. I think you haven’t introduced Taiwanese people 🇹🇼 in Japan, yet. Would you show us Taiwanese community in Japan ? 🇯🇵 That would be nice.👍 Thank you.😇🧚‍♀️
    31
  2533. Periodt as you should queen!!!!
    31
  2534. I know you're busy with many other things but to take the time to send us content is greatly appreciated as always. You and Tommy have a great weekend ❤
    31
  2535. He seems to be so nice to talk and hangout with. Nice perspective and video.
    31
  2536. The stark differences between Tokyo and the countryside are astounding!
    31
  2537. I am always impressed by people who can speak more than one language. I have a 10-year old granddaughter who is teaching herself Russian. Her motivation for doing that, is that it builds her confidence even if she has no one to converse with. I myself speak 3 and it has helped a lot travelling to many countries. Keep up with your inspiring videos Oriental Pearl and Wouter.
    30
  2538. Even when you show us a poorer part of Tokyo the experience still enrich our knowledge of Japan.🙏
    30
  2539. I am American and my wife is from Viet Nam. Of course our cultures are so different and it takes some extra compromising, but when it comes to goals and values we are very copacetic, and that is huge when you have a partner. Chúng tôi rất hạnh phúc!
    30
  2540. 3:26 - I run into this constantly - the students have questions to ask foreigners to practice their English. Most Japanese kids are shy so you can tell they are uncomfortable, but once they get started the really enjoy it!
    30
  2541. My number 1 pet peeve is when you're supposed to meet someone and they turn up late. I can't imagine not turning up at all. All hell breaks loose. I'm sorry for you. Really.
    30
  2542. I'm from Detroit and always like to see what others think of the city, instead of hearing folks bash it on a regular. I've lived all over the metro Detroit area throughout Wayne and Oakland county. My wife and I just bought a house in Detroit 3 years ago. Folks think we're insane but I don't care what people think about my choice. Glad to see other Detroiters come back and visit. Home is home.
    30
  2543. this looked like a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed it!
    30
  2544. Thank you for bringing this up. I'm Indonesian, and there's a youtuber that claim to know how to speak my language and everytime they did it, I jusy cringe so hard. And Matt was right!, as they speaks something else, I thought they were fluent.
    30
  2545. Very proud of all your accomplishments and always bringing us amazing content...take care Tommy too ❤
    30
  2546.  @scathach2815  she’s definitely a polyglot.
    30
  2547. i read when this video was published and my brain cannot comprehend that it’s august already😭
    30
  2548. Your family is grateful to meet him in Japan, as well as enjoying their vacation while you are in a honeymoon, Miss Alyssa.
    30
  2549. Loving the collabs! This was very informative 😄 P.S. Katie’s dance skills are to be applauded 👏🏻
    30
  2550. This woman is an absolute diamond. She gets a great response because she is so genuine and a very beautiful person.....of course people want to help a genuine and well meaning person. I find I watch these videos with a big smile.....she gets the best out of people....and there are many many good people in this world who just love to help other good people.
    30
  2551. I never really thought about how hard it must be to switch between them especially since the sentence structures can be so different. The way anyone can do that is remarkable but also goes to show how talented we all can be. I loved how you were able to connect with others and relate to their own stories as well and yet stay very humble. Many props!
    30
  2552. As an American I understand our need for individuality. But the U.S. makes up less than 5% of this beautiful world we all share! Knowledge and understanding of diveristy in other countries, cultures and ideologies brings us all closer together. It’s so important. Thank you Anming and JJ. Very appreciated😊
    30
  2553. Sanya, Nishinari in Osaka, and Kotobukicho in Yokohama are said to be Japan's three largest yoseba. I am a Japanese who has visited those areas several times, and they are surprisingly interesting. Above all, the food is cheap. Before Corona, there were many foreign backpackers due to the low cost of accommodation. I think it takes a lot of courage to go there at night alone as a woman, but it might be surprisingly fun for foreigners to go there!
    30
  2554. Oriental Pearl is a mind reader. I’ve been wondering what you thought about the Akita Language School. I really like how they do things differently
    30
  2555. 6:25 What a great interaction! I'm sure they will remember that forever!
    30
  2556. 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. 🥰
    30
  2557. So cool that you can speak so many languages! I’m learning Japanese right now and it’s quite hard but also so much fun. Keep up the good work :)
    30
  2558. Whoah, what interesting timing finding this video! I've been studying Russian for about two years for seven days a week/1-3 hours a day. And even after this I feel like I still suck at it and have a very elementary level of speaking it. Anyways, I found a girl on YouTube claiming Polyglot and one of her supposed languages was Russian. Yet she was getting super simple pronunciations wrong and something just felt awry. So thank you for making this because I was feeling dumb for feeling much slower at learning than some of these YouTube polyglots.
    30
  2559. I took Japanese for my winter semester. I've been wanting to learn for over a decade and knew a few phrases. I learned a lot but I still forget because I get confused in how to structure a sentence and I forget because my memory isn't not as well as it use to. I love Japanese culture and food. I'm always learning to bake and cook it since I can't afford to go there.
    30
  2560. Thanks for introducing me to something new in Japanese culture. After looking more into this I found out that when Japanese women pursue men in a fashion similar to nanpa, it is called gyakunan. Great job picking different and interesting topics lately.
    30
  2561. Came here from JJ’s channel, this was a great colab!
    30
  2562. You're so inspirational! I've always wondered how it feels to know so many languages well as I only know my native (Russian), English (and even if I know it well, my English seems too formal/polite or modest as people would say to me), a bit of Italian and only a few sentences in Japanese. You inspired me to learn something new, thank you!
    30
  2563. "Isn't that just makeup?" Not if you're pale and ethically Irish or Scottish, apparently!
    30
  2564. You don’t know how jealous I am right now. That looked like an awesome time and good vibes. I went to Japan in 01/2020 and it was awesome too, but plus Halloween is 2x AWESOME!!! I miss Japan! I look forward to going back again and working on my Japanese and Mandarin so I can talk to people there. 😁 Also, PERFECT OUTFIT! You nailed it!
    30
  2565. It's awesome to be able to hear their stories about living and growing up there. I never would have known this place existed in Japan. What incredible hospitality they have to travellers in their town. It was great you had Ninja Monkey with you too, his Spanish speaking skills came in handy in Japan of all places. Who would have thought? 💜💜💜
    30
  2566. Alecia's reaction to the UK is interesting. I've only lived in one other state, briefly, but it does make you appreciate things you were never aware of. Same with my home town. As a kid, it was small and dull, but now I realize that being on Lake Michigan was way more interesting than being landlocked. Like The Wizard of Oz sometimes - there's no place like home.
    30
  2567. “Don’t feel too sorry for him - he’s got a really hot wife” 😆😆😆😂🤣🤣🤣 also cute friend who likes otaku girls with rosy cheeks, bless you sir. On another note, this video was very beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story and congrats to you both!
    30
  2568. Amazing videos as a 14 year old American I used to Travel all over Japan on the weekends by myself Tokyo Shibuya & Shinjuku & Ginza were my favorite places to explore. I lived in Hayama location the Emperor's summer palace on Sagami Bay. Would love to see you take a trip to Kamakura, Zushi Hayama or Enoshima. Brings back many great memories watching your videos. I loved Japan so much I really didn't want to move back to America
    30
  2569. weirdo. How are guys like this living in Japan, how does he make a living? thx for the videos!
    30
  2570. Loved this entire video. What great scenery and activities!
    30
  2571. I'm so happy for you two. I wish both of you the best in life. Your videos always make my days better. They're both enlightening and fun to watch. Keep up the good work. 👍
    30
  2572. I've been learning Mandarin for almost 8 months now, and my level is still very basic. But I was watching "polyglot" videos yesterday and when they got to the point of speaking Mandarin I was shocked... I even showed my brother and told him that I understood all the Chinese because it was so basic, I pointed out the grammar mistakes and also pointed out that the pronunciation sounded awful. But when my brother watches it, it just sounds like a couple people chatting fluently in Chinese.... I'm glad you uploaded this video
    29
  2573. Your energy is simply outstanding! Your commitment to growth, to live with the uncertainty and your thirst for knowledge. I love your content and what you stand for!
    29
  2574. I am a youtube-r from China and I admire your talent.
    29
  2575. I recomend everyone to search a discord group and talk with people. Its great, i did that and I love it. People can put questions and usually natives answer.
    29
  2576. Lisa not only strummed a guitar but also our respect for her.
    29
  2577. 9:30 haha her Chinese is so on point that she complimented a Chinese guy's Mandarin skill. That's great
    29
  2578. Hope you are doing well today, Hear is my quote for the day. “If you think education is expensive, try estimating the cost of ignorance.” ~ Howard Gardner
    29
  2579. So proud of myself as I could understand some Chinese! I love languages and when I surprise others some are shocked some are only relieved as they were struggling to explain themselves and I came to the rescue! I love your videos as they represent me very much!
    29
  2580. The authentic nature of your content is extremely satisfying and makes you incredibly likable. I studied in France when I was young and it was maybe the biggest single influence of my life. If you study abroad it changes you indelibly. Keep up the brilliant posts. I fear for your future in political science as you might have another calling...
    29
  2581. I really learned a lot in this kind of content, this is the most interesting socializing video. I'm happy that I can understand a few sentences. :) keep goin. :)
    29
  2582. I just found your channel, but I've sort of been binging them! Not in order. You're so sweet! You really are just a kind soul. This was such a fun video!
    29
  2583. Seriously love watching you guys have so much fun together! And thank you for giving us a glimpse into your honeymoon!!
    29
  2584. I've always wondered if Mandarin is a Chinese language, or a Chinese dialect? There's conflicting information on this all over the place, including on Chinese websites.
    29
  2585. Every encounter with someone is like you’ve dropped down from heaven to make their day! :D
    29
  2586. honestly, at this point if freaked me out more when she started speaking fluent english.
    29
  2587. As an old fella the only advice I've give you is not to listen to ignorant people.
    29
  2588. This Proves how thru ignorance we can ISOLATE ourselves. Language is truly an antidote to Separatism and Racism. I wish I too had earlier in life learned to be multilingual as is this "Pearl" of a lady.
    29
  2589. Orient pearl you are my inspirational woman ❤
    29
  2590. I'm a very shy person and I can't stand making mistakes, but I've been speaking to online tutors for spanish. My hands shake every time and my stomach hurts because I'm so nervous, but I still do it. I use speakly and busuu when I have any downtime and don't have an online class with a tutor, just to keep my brain in spanish mode
    29
  2591. The fact that I watched this video 4 years ago, dreaming with studying in Japan... and now is a reality. I've been here for two and half years and it's been wonderful. Looking back at this video makes me realized how far I've come. Thank you for inspiring me~
    29
  2592. Chinese people really respect you when you can speak Chinese as a foreigner. My western friends speaks Chinese and Japanese as well, when I came to Japan to visit him, nobody in Japan compliment him for speaking Japanese. In China lots of people compliment him for speaking Chinese.
    29
  2593. I know 4 languages too. French, English, kirundi, kinyarwanda. When you live in a country in Africa, it’s easy to multiple languages.
    29
  2594. the streets are so clean in Japan, its like a heaven
    29
  2595. I have always been interested in Chinese and Japanese people. I think they are absolutely amazing but I always thought they never wanted to speak out with. But your videos have really educated me and you do an amazing job. I admire your language skills and wish I could speak like that. Thank you for your hard work making vlogs. ❤️ xx
    29
  2596. I enjoy your videos I could watch longer.
    29
  2597. There was a lot of Japanese characters in those Chinese characters you were studying ;)
    28
  2598. This was so wholesome to watch!! Super interesting to see so many parts of your everyday life put into one video, i like the divided portions, it's awesome!
    28
  2599. So many well wishes to you both!! So happy for you!
    28
  2600. Very good! I liked the middle school girls in the sailor outfits. They were a bit nervous at first and then warmed up!
    28
  2601. I wish my parents had passed down their language to us. It's great to know multiple languages.
    28
  2602. This motivates me to learn Mandarin even more...I'm currently learning Mandarin...I have my motivation but now I even have more motivation. Thank you ~
    28
  2603. Thnx for entertaining us while in quarantine ❤️
    28
  2604. I really loved this video! Felt so wholesome and warm. Everyone was so connected and just a really pleasant video, thanks so much for sharing! I was confused slightly at end, why did you say "Sorry to bother you." Sorry if silly question, just was curious! I very much look forward to the next upload, Oh and congrats to you two! <3 *Edit- Actually I just saw you reply to someone with a similar question below! "a set phrase" Very interesting!
    28
  2605. I've been disappointed by mostly everyone in my life. So, I've just learned that being my best self is all the friendship I need. I'll always be kind, but I won't seek that feeling of yearning for a friend anymore. People sometimes just simply don't know how to be honest. I'm very blunt and I see things for what they are, one can articulate that without hiding the truth and making someone feel worthless or "less-than". Sorry you had to experience this. You helped me recently on some Kanji, you have a good heart. Don't let others bad hearts stain yours. - A fellow supporter of your channel and all your endeavors.
    28
  2606. I'm so glad you actually talk about real issues on your channel. This is a very interesting subject, its too bad for half Japanese that dont present as Japanese getting the standard foreigner treatment. I'm a non-Japanese Asian foreigner but I think the way I dress and style myself looks almost the same, and I present pretty much Japanese in Japan, I don't speak that great Japanese so they have a tendency to think I'm a half Japanese or raised abroad.
    28
  2607. You’re doing a great job, don’t listen to those negative people. They are jealous and have a sad life!
    28
  2608. Dangerous for sure, don't mess with Oriental Pearl or you'll get a smack down :P
    28
  2609. Thank you Anming for another tour to show us another Japanese slum. I’m really glad that the people you met in this area were a lot more nicer compared to that gentleman from the first area & that you made unexpected friends which is really great. Super sweet that your husband was just messaging you for your safety. I am from a ghetto area in Los Angeles so I know I have seen my shares of interesting stories happening in my area though, it has gotten better here & there past couple of years. For sure those areas look really tamed compared to where I live at in the States. Nice touch in letting foreign tourists about this place that they mostly have no idea about
    28
  2610. It was nice to hear your insights about studying at Fudan! I'm planning to apply for my masters there in 2025 to study Public Policy! 🌟
    28
  2611. The world needs more people like you ❤
    28
  2612. He seems like so much fun. We all need that “fly by the seat of our pants” friend in our lives.
    28
  2613. 4:23 Japan, Let me in.... LET ME IN! grabs fence
    28
  2614. I’m glad he seems that he isn’t too bothered about being called fat. I would get tired of it easily. Also your content is getting much deeper. It would interesting to see what your channel would be like in a year’s time.
    28
  2615. One question - How do we get an invite to Tommy's parents for lunch? That looked very, very tasty! They must really like you to put on such a good meal.
    28
  2616. It's so much fun seeing Tommy's mind get blown every other second and being like a kid in a toystore on Christmas. Michigan looks lovely and that pumpkinpie looks sooo good! Happy Hollidays from Sweden!
    28
  2617. Love these videos I hope to see more just traveling now you’re over 1mil❤
    28
  2618. their ancestors watching them play Beyblade : "why are they not killing eachother ?"
    28
  2619. 12:42 Honestly this video makes me feel so much better about my language learning experience. I watch YouTube videos and people would be like “I learned X amount of languages really quickly” and I always thought I was slow because I couldn’t pull it off too. I totally understand that language learning takes tons of dedication. Even if I did learn 4 other languages in my lifetime I would never claim to be a polyglot or even “know” these languages. Thank you for this video, you made a language enthusiast happy!
    28
  2620. Also in Canada, because of housing prices, we have developers/people selling homes "try" to label an apartment as 3 bedrooms 2 bath instead of 2 bedrooms, 1 den, 2 bath. (which sells for less). With the rule where you must have a window in the bedroom, ive seen places actually put a giant glass door/window and call it a "bedroom" and throw in a closet. ==
    28
  2621. His family is so sweet. It was a delight to see that they even went to Mass (that was also a treat to see). Thanks for sharing this! God Bless you all this New Year.
    28
  2622. Next video title - ' How I've Improved My Package Opening Skills ' lol, just kidding. Another great video, thank you. The ' no ceiling car ' was so funny, lol. Your haircut looks stunning too.
    28
  2623. Wow. Thanks so much for this fascinating video! Your knowledge of languages and insights into culture make for wonderful videos. I think you have a very bright future.
    28
  2624. Im always amaze to see people who can speak different languages
    28
  2625. These are my favourite video's of the various content that you produce. Part of me enjoys how you subvert the expectations of the people you interact with, by being able effectively communicate in their native languages. The other part of me likes how the interactions change, because of your abilities in the dominant languages spoken in Japan, China and Korea. My Japanese language ability is improving, slowly, but never the less improving. Your and Tommy's Patreon Lessons give directly applicable words and phrases used in day to day conversations and interactions. This is an added benefit to being able to support a brilliant content creator. Your content, inspires my language journey, informs me of interesting people and places that you meet and go to. Explain things that confuse or confound me in the Japanese language and culture, and finally entertain the heck out of me. Any day Anming 7 uploads a new video on the Oriental Pearl Channel, is a good day made better.
    28
  2626. Hmm interesting, I have always thought that people know these “polyglots” speak only basic conversations in several languages and are only kind of fluent in maybe 2-3 of them. But then again, I have never thought of buying their products. I do think it’s a good thing that people are motivated to learn languages more though.
    28
  2627. Funny to hear Michigan pronounced in a Japanese way: meeshee-gan'.
    28
  2628. Every language: Bye byeeeee 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤣
    28
  2629. I'm glad you enjoy living in Japan. It's a very good country. These are 'strange' times for everyone so things will most likely be different (maybe change back to normal) after this pandemic is over. Stay positive. Looking forward to your videos.
    28
  2630. I always like the look of amazement when Anming speaks a fluent language to the unexpected.
    28
  2631. Your homestay teacher was a real treat! 💜
    28
  2632. Of course the ladies remembered you because you leave a great impression with whom ever you meet. You’re so friendly & relatable 😊
    28
  2633. That emoji bag girl's fashion style is aaaamazing.
    28
  2634. I am doing my best to learn Japanese and later maybe Chinese and spanish, I wanna travel the world (when the world gets better if u know what I mean). My wish is to travel and live nowhere 😊👏
    28
  2635. This was really sweet! This is something that I've tried stressing to parents for a long time that people who speak a different language aren't always saying something negative. My parents have always been the 'you're in 'murica, speak 'murican." I started teaching myself different languages. Nothing fancy, just super basic. It's really helped me gain a better perspective because of my parents ignorance. If I ever go to another country, I want to be able to have some knowledge of the language.
    28
  2636. Was so funny seeing your mom role playing getting captured ahah 😂
    28
  2637. Congratulations
    27
  2638. I also live in Japan and recently picked up Karate. I really enjoy being able to practice a martial art alongside Japanese people. It's for me a way to immerse myself a bit more, while keeping healthy.
    27
  2639. Such a great video. Thank you for bringing this to light. Nomad seems like such a cool dude! Very well-spoken and smart. I hope he goes far ❤
    27
  2640. Well, I hope that anyone that "breaks harmony with you" realizes that they have lost an amazing friend! You seem like such a wonderful, amazing person that in a short amount of time that I consider a friend, because I feel harmony with you! I hope you continue to share your positive energy and love around Japan and thank you for giving us some of that energy & love through your videos!!! Love ya, doll!
    27
  2641. i LOOOVE this video cuz it reminds me of my time in Japan! I grew up as a old school farmer, so when i go to rural japan and talk to the locals I always wind up helping them out and staying the night at someones house or their whole family takes me out to eat at a local restaurant. I find rural areas remind me more of american friendliness than in cities. especially if you grew up similarly.
    27
  2642. The packaging drives me nuts. There have been so many times I've bought snacks from the convini for myself and then have to individually unwrap them all and sit in front of a pile of wrappers... Hahaha thanks for the shout out! Was fun filming and chatting with you! :)
    27
  2643. After of being learning japanese for two years and half , just recently i came to actually being able to starting to undertand the conversions after SO much study almost every day, i have learning it though many websites and of course much more recently through youtube channels (of some native japanese teachers) and to being honest after putting all this effort and hours(and continuing doing it) , now i have more willing to actually keep learning it because all the hardships that i went though worth, being able to actually starting to understand more intermediate conversations gives me an so rewarding feeling.
    27
  2644. i bet right after you walked away, you appeared in many people's wechat moments.
    27
  2645. Wow you are so amazing and give great advice! I'm definitely considering learning Japanese
    27
  2646. Yeah in America or at least from my perspective it's considered rude to say "Your English is super good", cause 9 times outta 10 they're actually from America 😅
    27
  2647. OMG....this video had me smiling from ear to ear...you two are soooooo meant for each other!!! Tommy looked so sad to leave, I was sad for him, but I think he really enjoyed himself while in America. I love how you wrap your arm around his neck, he is "your man for life!", and it shows! It's nice that your stepfather knows Japanese also, it makes Tommy feel so much more comfortable. I absolutely adore your videos, I wish you so much joy in your life, you deserve it! 💯❤❤❤
    27
  2648. the big reactions can be heartwarming but i really just love the subtitled conversations. even boring 'how much does this cost' conversations. basically i hate the language barrier and i love watching you kick its ass.
    27
  2649. Oh wow, a truly great video on a very interesting person and subject. Archery is difficult to master and like every Japanese martial art Kyudo has much more to it than just using a bow and arrow. Jessica Gerrity's accent really surprised me when she spoke English as I didn't detect any hint of a New Zealand accent. I was thinking American Western or Northwestern States or Western Canada but not New Zealand. The older video where her accent was very noticeable and identifiable showed how much of a change has occurred. Her Japanese mannerisms are a product of living and functioning in the society and her willingness to engage in Japanese culture. It is very impressive that she has attained such a level of fluency in Japanese through self study and watching Japanese TV. Anming 7 as a Kyudo practitioner is both fascinating and a little scary. As always your channels content always interests and entertains me.
    27
  2650. I felt soo overwhelmed at each moment of the video just by how cute she is !! just unreal! WOWWW. Amazing video from start to finish.
    27
  2651. @10:37 - yes, he really is handsome! lol! Is it normal to say that there?
    27
  2652. Also...maybe the house with the trapdoors and such was a legit ninja house at some point? 😄👍🏼
    27
  2653. It's interesting, but at the same time, if this and the last videos shows some of the biggest "slums" in Japan, then I have to say that it's really not as bad as Europe or North America, which have comparative economies.
    27
  2654. Haha its hilarious when they don't think you can speak their language but bust it out & they look confused
    27
  2655. I love how we don't even need to elaborate on the difficulty in traveling right now. We can just say The Situation and everyone understands.
    27
  2656. Hope your bf doesn't see this stream, hearing you talk about how "sexy" the rickshaw guy looked!😁
    27
  2657. Traveler X americans like to create fake food like Alfredo pasta or spaghetti meatball which nobody here in Italy knows what they are but apparently in America they think they are famouos italian dishes
    27
  2658. Loved your video as usual! Pretty interesting seeing the behind the scenes of filming Chinese TV shows. Definitely agree with making learning fun! When I was still in China I took yoga and Korean language classes in Chinese, great way to practice and also meet locals! Now that I'm not in China I try to read a lot and watch a lot of content that I already enjoy in Chinese. 功夫不负有心人！
    27
  2659. The little girl hyping up her friend to speak english...it was so precious 😭 help my heart 😭😭
    27
  2660. I got the duolingo 'legendary' achievement for achieving #1 in the final league and I don't even feel all that rewarded from it...
    27
  2661. It's so dry here in Texas! Send us your rain!
    27
  2662. Keep it up don't let anyone stop you.👍
    27
  2663. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed Tommy experiencing America. The gun place was super funny. He is such a great guy and your family really showed him so many different things.
    27
  2664. Oh hey I know enough Japanese to hold a basic conversation it turns out. I know my mind would just blank the moment I tried though 😂
    27
  2665. You killed that interview.....so glad it was with your hero too.....you rock, Michigan girl, keep it up!
    27
  2666. I just wanna say, as an American teenager who is looking to learn Japanese and soon visit…thank you. You’ve been a light in my studies when it sometimes seems useless to learn the language when I think of trying to talk to people. When I see your videos, laughing at your jokes and being intrigued by your conversations, it makes me so excited to learn and be in the environment! Please stay safe and know that we love you. You are awesome and I can’t wait to see your future videos!
    27
  2667. There's a huge difference between appreciation and appropriation. You always respect the culture and history and you live in Japan, so it's not "racist appropriation" to participate in the culture.
    27
  2668. This is so cool. Such a unique kind of person he should be proud of who he is! Not just accept himself 😂 im literally crying, this is beautiful.
    27
  2669. When the young lady said that Japanese kids did even more homework in the summer away from school, I immediately thought, no wonder Japan is flying with Intelligence. To say she did 3 hours a day homework normally as if it were nothing was just crazy to witness. I guess Japanese culture is very much work very hard orientated. I think they have the balance of living and working to the max slightly wrong, but that their success sticks a middle finger back at me for even thinking such a thing.
    27
  2670. Japanese people are more kind and welcoming than any other countries in asia ,
    27
  2671. My man on the 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝟲𝟲 w/ his Rickshaw... Now that's motivation! 💪
    27
  2672. OMG, that 'fro is EVERYTHING!!!
    27
  2673. Pretty interesting video, had no clue what nanpa was
    27
  2674. Anming is the absolute defition of G.O.A.T! Her abilitiy to flawlessly connect, break down barriers, and most importantly have fun is what makes my soul overjoyed. 🥰
    27
  2675. I'm so glad for you! Especially because he agreed on getting married in the Catholic Church :) May God bless your union!
    27
  2676. Bruh that guy just slammed that beyblade and it started spinning like beast
    27
  2677. Wow! Miki seams to be a amazing person! Keep interviewing people like her! All the best to both of you!
    27
  2678. As she is saying "it just goes to show you can meet nice people randomly " 8:19 A truck basically slams on it's brakes in a polite gesture for the biker that was slowing down and most likely in any other country would have had to wait. Amazing timing 👏🙌👌
    27
  2679. Scientisits : "we didnt think it was possible that a wave could form to the size it did on March 11th, 2011" Mother Nature : "you think you smart huh?"
    27
  2680. I'm afraid of studying abroad because when you leave home you're leaving your support system behind and have to get used to relying on yourself a lot. You're basically on your own for a while and that terrifies me sometimes. However, I still want to study abroad someday after I finish my undergraduate. Thank you for your videos. They always inspire me😊💕
    27
  2681. Yes, I love longer videos. 25+ minutes is a good length.
    27
  2682. I wish my Japanese was as good as yours. How did you learn Japanese? And how did you make Japanese friends?
    27
  2683. It really is very strange what expectations our societies place on us, no matter where we are. I know she said, as a New Zealander, some alone time is considered normal whereas in Japan it's not, but I feel that pressure even as a woman in the U.S. I constantly have to fight people to respect that I need me time, and I'm not even a mother! We really have a weird mindset on what constitutes worthwhile endeavors for adults in society, and how the occasional me time is just that--an occasional treat and nothing more. I really think it's destructive to present it that way, and am working hard to put some time like that into my schedule at least once a week. Societal expectations are so burdensome.
    27
  2684. Love how you can speak Chinese and then Japanese without pausing. I enjoy watching your videos.
    27
  2685. I've literally just found you on YouTube in the last week. Thank you for making Americans look smart. Lol or at least me. Congratulations on finding the right man. I'm America and my husband is from Honduras. I ask myself why did God put my husband so far away from me. But it all worked out. We found each other.
    26
  2686. I just liked 👈👈👈
    26
  2687. I never really thought there was an issue with people talking in many languages. People that have an issue with other people knowing too many languages are just jealous. I know 4 languages and speak them fluently.
    26
  2688. Am I the only one who finds it satisfying when she switches from Chinese to Japanese?
    26
  2689. I think it's important to know the difference of cultural "Appropriation" and "Appreciation". This is definitely Appreciation to our culture <3
    26
  2690. It's so scary when you show the screaming voice... We just have 4,5 mg earthquake here in Ambon, Indonesia.. I'm so scared remember the same thing happened last year. 6,8 mg earthquake hit us. Luckily there were no tsunami but still it was so traumatizing
    26
  2691. JJ and her mom can have their regular singing shows at the Las Vegas of China in Macau. They are that good!!!
    26
  2692. Your ability to transition from language to language so effortlessly is amazing. 😲👍
    26
  2693. She can speak BOTH Japanese and Mandarin! THAT'S dedication!
    26
  2694. Kind heart. Be thankful for everything you’re given in life.
    26
  2695. This comment was so validating that tears immediately came out of my eyes. I seriously wish to live in Japan one day, despite hearing more negatives than positives. I always retract and ask myself "why am I doing this", "I already understand the language and processes of my country, why am I wasting time reading books on Japanese business and taking the hardest language course at my college", "I can just take it east and stay here", "what kind of job will you have there anyway", "what kind of life will you have there anyway", etc. Then I remember how much stronger and more beautiful the positives are. This comment reminded me. Anming, you seriously give me the courage to keep going!! Thank you!!!
    26
  2696. Truly impressive how well you speak each language and how quickly you can interchange them. I've been trying to learn Korean for about a year and my brain is just not having it lol.
    26
  2697. I used to believe those people, and it was the opposite of inspiring. I was all like... I’ve been studying German for a year. Why aren’t I as good at it as this 19 year old is at Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean 😂
    26
  2698. Sangrias at a German beer festival in Japan with polyglots. Cultural diversity is well and alive! Appreciate the content Anming!
    26
  2699. Her speaking chinese sounds more like a first language, it's so natural
    26
  2700. This is awesome! An experience that Tommy will never forget.
    26
  2701. You both are great. Finishing my sixth language (French) on Duolingo, I'm not nearly as proficient in my foreign tongues, but the amount of joy I get from speaking with locals in their languages can't be compared to anything else and legal.
    26
  2702. What a fun video! Happiness and long life to you both.
    26
  2703. One of the main goals I’m shooting for is to interact with more rural areas when I travel to Japan finally. From what I’ve seen In popular media, even ethnic Japanese people are easily spotted and singled out if they’re not from the area. Nuances in dialects, clothing and mannerisms are immediately obvious to close knit communities. City mouse vs Country mouse I guess, which is the same all over the world. But let me watch the video and shut up already!
    26
  2704. I Finally managed to comment! .. I'm surprised she was talking about me! .. Those Fuji views were amazing, and that little girl was so cute too! It was a fun day out :)
    26
  2705. Happiness is not attained through self gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.. Be safe n happy!!
    26
  2706. Interesting! I used to be cheated when I was travel with my mom and aunties(Even if we are Chinese!!) ...... You are not alone XD That's why the Chinese youngsters they prefer to travel themselves rather than go out with a Tour Company Package !
    26
  2707. That's a really nice video. The trouble with us westerners is that we always assume that other countries will display arrogance and rudeness to foreigners because that's how they're sometimes treated by us when they visit. We in the West can certainly learn how lovely the Japanese people are. Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for the new year. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
    26
  2708. It’s my dream to go to Japan and am struggling to learn Japanese by myself with no Japanese speaking friends. Your videos really motivate people like me wish to see more of this everyday
    26
  2709. It is absolutely amazing how well the customers are being treated in Japan! They treat them like royalties, 1:51!!! I was blown away by how many times they apologized for making you wait for your cake!! I always admire their ultimate level of hospitality! It looks like being polite and cordial, it's not only a necessity for their business, IT'S a culture!!!! Love your videos! Keep it up and STAY SAFE!!!!!!
    26
  2710. Damn, you have missed the opportunity being part of Yakuza, that's sad.
    26
  2711. Greetings from your home State of Michigan. I admire these people,making the most with what they have. Cast aside as they are, they are not whining or lowering themselves to the depths as those in the US.
    26
  2712. Good to see Robin-san supporting you. He's excellent!
    26
  2713. Wow. Really heartbreaking. Thanks for showing a side of Japan most of us don't know about.
    26
  2714. "This is Germany and they like to drink Beer!" hahahaha And in Ireland we drink beer and eat Potatoes. lol
    26
  2715. My daughter who taught in Tokyo for 6 yrs but still can't speak Japanese. Her husband who worked 3yrs for one channel of Tokyo TV and he could speak Japanese very well. I used to work in English speaking environment for more than 35 yrs but still can't speak properly. 've got a friend, he is a Parish priest, he can speak English very well with his parishioners. Well, not all people can speak other languages well.
    26
  2716. My daughter in law is Japanese. She is teaching me and husband how to speak in Japanese. Our son is learning also. Its not easy but we need to communicate with our grandson in English and Japanese. 😃
    26
  2717. Your personality is why I enjoy your channel and why iam here. Cheers!🤘
    26
  2718. You look like a Russian. What is more amazing, to meet an American, who can speak a foreign language let alone several languages like Japanese and Chinese, this is truly amazing. 👍
    26
  2719. Another fun introduction to a lovely Japanese person with some uniqueness. With her English accent she can easily mingle with us Londoners! :D
    26
  2720. Finally someone I can relate to. Imagine trying to speak English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Bahasa. If my vocabulary isn't butchered after picking up these languages from my mates, I would have gone to be a translator.
    26
  2721. The amount of courage to switch to Korean like that... 대박이다 진짜요. I didn't have that sort of bravery at all my first years learning Korean lol. I'm pivoting to Chinese right now, so I hope to be even half as fluent as you this year! 화이팅! 저도 노력할겁니다!
    26
  2722. Beni is so lovely. She has a wonderful spirit and outlook. Thank you for introducing the world to such inspiring people. Keep up the good work!🌹
    26
  2723. Lots of great advice here, and the best piece is “just have fun!” Also: not enough credit is given to the Pimsleur materials. I used them for German a while back and found them to be excellent to get people speaking and thinking in their target language quickly.
    26
  2724. Notice that no one even bats an eye at the man in the pleather S and M pig costume 😂😂😂❤❤❤ I have a feeling I could dress how I always dreamed to dress while in Japan..even at 41. Like Rainbow Bright!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
    26
  2725. Keep going do more videos I'm fan
    26
  2726. American speaking Japanese in America vs in Japan could be a variable to consider
    26
  2727. Welcome back!
    26
  2728. That's so cool that your husband is going to experience America for the first time. I'm so for both of you and hope that you two have a blast in the best state in the lower 48!
    26
  2729. I just love the happy look's and great smiles you get when you speak in their native language, wonderful !!
    26
  2730. Honestly, keep doing what you do - both of you. As long as the interviewee/subjects agree with being filmed, fun interactions where people can connect make for great memories and learning experiences. And it’s inspiring too. Languages are like riding bikes - if you’re very academic and private at it, but never go out and ride? You’ll fall and fail.
    26
  2731. BRINGS SO MANY MEMORIES, i've walked all of those lanes and been in all of those shops
    26
  2732. 自分が、他の人のチャンネルの中にいるのが面白いw Your video is always cool x)
    26
  2733. These personal vlogs are so wholesome. I love it!
    26
  2734. I like his attitude on the whole situation! Thank you as always Anming for sharing cool / interesting videos & bringing us along for the ride! :D I'll have to check out his page as well. Always nice to see people's reactions.
    26
  2735. I’m very similar to you, I’m born and raised in China for 10 years, and then came to the states at age 10, and I’ve lived here for 7 years now. I’ve studied Japanese along the way, 3 years now, and I’m taking AP Japanese next.
    26
  2736. Glad you're able to handle these situations so nicely but I wish you didn't have to :( !! Love your videos
    26
  2737. I'm so happy for you, Anming! The ceremony looked beautiful. Thank you for inviting us into your personal moments. You really did not have to share this, especially in such detail.
    26
  2738. nice to see michigan girl interact beautifully with chinese kids - it's wonderful. they stare at u bc u have a rare facial structure - looks awesome w that hello kitty mask. that japan toby guy is lucky. why dont u put up a patreon account?
    26
  2739. LOL 😂 I love how that guy was so real, "I think everywhere sucks." Too true my man. Too true.
    26
  2740. I think that guy at the elevator was only 30% amazed by your Chinese but 70% astounded by your prettiness! :D
    26
  2741. Hah! You’re almost at a half million subscribers, and losers are trying to take you down. You’re just proof of the opposite of whatever they criticize you of. You’re outgoing, the epitome of positivity in all your videos, you are engaging, interesting, helpful, friendly to a fault, and just gorgeous. I’ll be here for a long time, and although we don’t see the negative comments, I won’t be any more affected by them than you should. Thanks for all you do, Anming. By the way, I didn’t notice Lisa had a disability until 8 minutes into the video. I liked your interaction with her.
    26
  2742. Charge them 10 bucks a picture
    26
  2743. You remind me of the actor Leelee Sobieski and she is of Polish descent. You do have an Eastern European look to you more than American, in my opinion. Also, there’s the generalisation that a lot of English and Americans don’t learn other languages as much as Europeans so that might also be why as well as the geographical distance from America. Regardless though, you’re very gifted. I’m struggling with just learning one foreign language!
    26
  2744. ok but i really never thought about this, i’m glad your shedding light on the topic
    26
  2745. I've been studying korean for 5 years now (alongside work and other stuff that I do) and I admire your dedication !! I know that with your determination you'll be able to achieve being proficient 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
    26
  2746. I like the fact that you have a lot of varied content. Very interesting video. I know this goes without saying, but please, please be careful when going to anywhere like this. There was a video game I played that took place in Japan and had an area much like this. It's strange to see it in real life even though we know places like this actually exist.
    26
  2747. Call me old fashioned but it’s nice to know someone still wears skirts
    25
  2748. I love this! I'm feeling motivated to make similar videos as I'm learning Chinese and living on an island where almost speaks English, so I'm forced to learn Mandarin to get by. Maybe when I get good enough I'll score some free goods too heheh ❤️ thanks for the inspiration.
    25
  2749. Chineese are good hearted people, love from pakistan!! 我爱中国
    25
  2750. What does a polyglot even mean in the first place? It can be so many different things. I mean I speak Croatian conversationally, can understand intermediate German, am able to follow French news, speak and read English/Dutch on a native level and am now about as good as a toddler is in Japanese/Spanish. How many languages and at what level? Am I a polyglot? No idea. Each language can have so many different functions and skillsets depending what you want to get out of them and where you're from
    25
  2751. Very interesting documentary, I love people who go out there and explore beyond the fabulous tourist attractions! Great idea!
    25
  2752. Thanks for the insights into the Fudan University and your curriculum.
    25
  2753. Thnak you for the video! I have met some Japanese people and since I am learning some Japanese, they really open up when you try to speak to them, and they really don't know much English, but you being able to approach them helps them a lot because they are human too and like you said don't want to get rejected. There is a lot of video on why you shouldn't go to Japan and loneliness seems to be the major reason, but I think if everyone reached out to one another like you are doing then it wouldn't be a big problem, everyone is shy now and then. I hope one day I can visit Japan! This video is very helpful! Thank you! Looking forward to the next! xx.
    25
  2754. I've been wanting to learn a language for a while now and I've settled on Korean. There are so many videos about getting fluent in a short amount of time, it can definitely set unrealistic expectations. So I've been trying to follow people who do videos on different studying methods, what they do in a study session, how to structure a language study sessions, how to study/learn vocab to speaking to writing etc without the promises of getting proficient in a short amount of time. Which I don't know if you've done videos like that, I just started watching your vids, but I would be interested in videos like that. I appreciate this discussion because often when watching videos of polyglots conversing in another language and promising to give you a quick an easy method to learn another language. They make it seem like its super easy, but then you actually try and it's not that easy, and people give up because it's not easy like the polyglot promised it would be. I really wish I could just stick a book on learning Korean under my pillow every night and learn by osmosis in 4 minutes or whatever but it just doesn't work like that lol. ... unfortunately.
    25
  2755. Love how you are introducing him to American apple pie stuff- so cute! You guys seem more exuberant on American turf!
    25
  2756. 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! 🖤
    25
  2757. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel way back at the beginning of the year. This was genuinely entertaining and informative as always. And you're editing work improves every single video. Sugoi!
    25
  2758. This was really interesting, I like these kinds of videos where we get to see real conversations with local people. Btw Yuki San seems like a good friend!
    25
  2759. Now for him to make a character inspired off of Anming The anime we never knew we all needed!
    25
  2760. When you speak Chinese and can understand but read the translation captions anyway.
    25
  2761. And here I was just proud of myself in the airport this week, recognizing Chinese and Korean being spoken around me and being able to differentiate them 😅 I’ve got a long way to go!
    25
  2762. It never ceases to amaze me how many wonderful people we can meet on the street. Amazing video as always <3
    25
  2763. I've been on 2 tours to China to accompany my aging father and every time there was some kind of scam going on, including unwanted stops at Chinese medicine and souvenir shops, etc. We learned that the kickbacks may not necessarily go to the tour company but rather to the guide and bus driver who make the call on where to stop based on time and traffic. So on my 3rd time when I took my daughter, we arrived at the desired city and had the hotel set up a private car and guide. It's actually not that much more expensive and you have the freedom to take as long (or as short) as you want and make whatever stops you wanted. Well worth the extra cost for the flexibility and freedom. Also, I have learned that, much like the Italians, the Chinese have no concept of what a queue is.

  2764. It's far better to try something and realise it doesn't work out than to not try and have regrets later on. Keep doing what you're doing, Miss. Authentic!

  2765. You girls are so cute, and funny. Welcome…greetings from a Chinese in Africa. Lol
    25
  2766. Ah nice, the village that inspired Hinamizawa fictional town ! Awesome !
    25
  2767. When I was in Japan, school girls came up to me on the street and asked me if they could practice their English. I said "Sure, go ahead." They had no idea what I said. I had to say "Yes, you may practice English with me." They understood that, but then realized they didn't know what to talk about. I tried to help by telling them my name, asking their name, things like that. Mostly they just giggled. They were cute. I also met a very old Japanese lady. She was adorable, and tiny. I asked if I could take her picture, with a lot of gesturing. She excitedly said yes (actually はい！) Afterward, we bowed and moved on.
    25
  2768. Love this, and awesome seeing you learn so many languages. I want to learn Japanese as well. I'll start eventually, still learning Mandarin :)
    25
  2769. "A fat middle-aged man who keeps trolling n my channel"...oh no!, I'm in trouble...."who works in an English..."...oh, whew...somebody else. You attract only the best fans, Anming.
    25
  2770. After studying in Tokyo for a year, I literally wanted to give up on Japanese because I felt so alone in such a big city 😭 I was also extremely KY and didn’t understand how to 空気を読む at all 🥺 buuuut after studying in Shanghai, I made friends with Japanese classmates from kansai and gave Japanese another try~~ and fell in love all over again by experiencing the countryside communities!! 💕💕 Japan is really beautifully diverse like you said, and I really wish I’d seen this video 5 years ago and knew that Tokyo isn’t the only part of Japan!! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for this!! ✨✨
    25
  2771. I notice when that music you use in the opening minutes of this video is playing, you get really deep and philosophical, and those are your best videos.
    25
  2772. Deer: ‘I like this Russian girl coz she has a really soft touch.’ Next language…Deerish, maybe. :D
    25
  2773. Another enjoyable video. You have allowed your personality to become a more visible part of the more recent video's. I like the direction your channel is evolving in. I get to learn language and interaction tips and see stuff both touristy and not on the usual tourist agenda's. I see you have finally stopped flighting and have a Patreon. I'll be joining.
    25
  2774. I’m an Australian married to an American. I am still trying to learn to speak her language even after 20 years. 😁
    25
  2775. The picturesque scenery, the adorable couple, trying to teach language while on adventures, and lovely music. What a fun video! You need some comfortable sneakers for your next adventure! 😁 I really enjoy your videos. 👍
    25
  2776. 私は日本人なので、英語の勉強をここでしています！ここのチャンネルは日本語、英語を学びたい人にぴったりのコンテンツがそろっていますね。
    25
  2777. This is super inspiring! Can't wait until I can switch between languages this fluidly.
    25
  2778. When I was in Japan, the Japanese females were so courteous towards me, it made me uncomfortable and eventually getting used to it. Then when I returned to NA, I missed the special treatment.
    25
  2779. Well that was entertaining. Working 15 hour days during protests, riots, looting and this brings a little positivity to my day. Thank you Anming!
    25
  2780. This is funny bc I’m learning chinese and I’m going through the same struggles 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
    25
  2781. ITS-A-ME, LUIGI! Thanks so much for letting me join your Shibuya adventure!! the video turned out awesome! 💚 Will the man who confessed his love for me please step forward? 😂
    25
  2782. Lovely. This is going to be me in a few years. I'm inspired to continue learning.
    25
  2783. This was so wholesome!! I was so excited for Tommy! It was like seeing a kid in a candy store falling in love with everything he sees. This is awesome. I love your videos
    25
  2784. When I watched the beginning of the video I was so shocked and saddened for the fact people were saying those things about you. You are such an inspiration to us your subscribers and the people around you to encorange us to learn new languages and embrace other cultures to have better connection with other people. That allow for doors of opportunity and personal growth to open! You are so inteligente and inspirational. So I would like to thank you on the behalf of me and other subscribers.
    25
  2785. That was a pretty area you guys were visiting. It was great to see Tommy again in one of the videos.
    25
  2786. 00:33 Low key, that beat go hard though. 🔥🔥
    25
  2787. I'm gonna show this video to those that cry "East Asians (in general) are all too shy". My experience in China, Japan and Korea is that those same people are usually too lazy and entitled to try socialise with them. Cool video!
    25
  2788. Oh my gosh I love the taxi driver so much. He just adopted you for the day 😂 all you have to do is speak his language??
    25
  2789. That guy on the bike, was he drunk? When I went to the osaka aquarium last year, while i was taking photos of the fish, this old man (60s?) tried to steal something from my bag (it had a flap and no zip) but I saw quickly and pushed him. Then he walked off really fast to the exit. I saw him next sitting on a bench inside the shopping centre next to the aquarium 😐 It’s just weird because people say that Japan is really safe and no one steals, but now I’m thinking that it might just be like any other country lol (ie watch your stuff at all times).
    25
  2790. I have been to Japan and it is such a wonderful, inspiring and organized country. The people are also polite and disciplined. My only wish is for it to open up a little more and export its values and soft power abroad. The world can learn a lot from therm. The Olympics was a great opportunity for that and I hope more is done in the future.
    25
  2791. see? THIS is interesting content... content that is hard to find anywhere else... so much better than "SHOCKING!!!" and "UNBELIEVABLE!!!" and "OMG did I mention it's SHOCKING!!!"... you are a fantastic person who has so much more to give than "SHOCKING!!!" videos ;o) keep up the great job ;o)
    25
  2792. "Peace" ✌🏽*also means "Victory"*
    25
  2793. YAY! So happy for you. Everything looks perfect! How much you two love each other is inspiring and encouraging
    25
  2794. I'm an Aussie who lived in Chicago for 2 years. Love that city. Great video.🎉🎉
    25
  2795. Those quakes are so scary. They seem to be happening more frequently. Stay safe and have an amazing day ❤️
    25
  2796. I had a brother who recently passed that spoke Korean. He was in the US Army, and they sent him to learn Korean and then stationed him there. When he came home, he got a job where he met many people visiting America. He always enjoyed speaking to visiting Koreans in their own language. They were always so surprised and grateful. He was able to help many people with directions and other things. My son was also stationed in Korea, and my wife and I visited him there. I enjoyed the visit and seeing the sites. We visited Chinatown there. Enjoying your videos. How to Asian people react to your long blonde hair? My granddaughter had long blonde hair as a young girl living in Korea, and all the young girls called her princess and wanted their pictures taken with her.
    25
  2797. I love everything about Japan, i love japanese people, I love Japanese songs especially AKB48's song and definitely anime. I'm one of your big fans and i just wanna say omedeto congrats. I'm so happy for you. Greetings from Indonesia I'm so sorry my english so bad 🙏🙏🙏
    25
  2798. I miss Japan and the Japanese people
    25
  2799. I think you just enunciate well and that’s what people are hearing.
    25
  2800. I was watching JJs videos yesterday, wasn't expecting you two to collab at all lmao
    25
  2801. You’re actually pretty cool and I love it whenever you switch so seamlessly to Japanese. I came across your channel randomly and I love it. Consider me subbed. I look forward to your future content
    24
  2802. That’s kind of creepy, right? Old man on bike especially. こわい!
    24
  2803. This was so wholesome. Thank you (and your in-laws) for sharing your new years with us As someone who lives alone and spent this time alone, it made me feel less lonely x
    24
  2804. Nobody is going to point out that reaction at 5:07?: "EEEEHHHHHHH?".
    24
  2805. Nice way, nice memories. Congrats!
    24
  2806. This was great!! I worked in Tokyo in the late 1990's with Nippon Steel and I really enjoyed the experience. Your video brought back all kinds of memories, especially the trip to work and back every day. Your very right about office culture and the does and don't and how you get trapped between North American ways and Japanese ways. Please do more about the mandatory after work socializing and the short, but fun lunch breaks.
    24
  2807. Tommy looks like he had a great time in Michigan! Thank you for sharing this experience with us!
    24
  2808. Congratulations on getting married!!! I hope you guys have a beautiful future! Also you have encouraged me to learn Japanese. I hope to visit Japan in a few years after saving some money. Practicing Japanese is challenge ing, but fun. I do have a question would you recommend flash cards to write down words and phrases?
    24
  2809. "Look at how close these cars are" Laughs in indonesian streets

  2810. Please stay safe, hope you are ok. ❤ from Germany
    24
  2811. I am glad that you made this video. I was really interested in learning Korean a while back and like you said I fell into the trap that some of the polyglot channels made. I got into it for awhile and thought I was making good progress, but I kept seeing all of their videos on how fast they were progressing and just got discouraged. I wanted to learn the language the right way, so I was working on grammar books, the script, and pronunciation. I just felt I was progressing so very slowly compared to what it seemed like everyone else was. I unfortunately gave up on it due to this 3 years ago and now have forgotten most everything except for a few phrases. This video gave me hope though and maybe I’ll pick the textbook back up again soon and give it another try. I am just fascinated by Korean history (I am a huge history buff in general), and I just thought by knowing the language that it could help me understand more. Sorry for the wall of text. Keep up the amazing content, you are a wonderful person.
    24
  2812. Love this type of journalistic content!
    24
  2813. The Japanese people sure have endured a lot of hardship to survive on their island nation. Tsunami's, Fukushima, in recent years.
    24
  2814. It’s great to learn that Japanese society is not so strict. I did have the impression that there were lots of rules. However, I still here from other YouTube channels that document life in Japan that there are still “customs” in the workplace that foreigners working in Japan have to adjust to: like asking your “senpai” out to lunch, bringing gifts back from your vacation for your work group, not leaving work until your boss, or co worker, is ready to leave, etc.
    24
  2815. It’s happened to me in Japan too. I feel embarrassed every single time when I visit the shops. Mostly, they don’t have my size stocked up. Normally they do have XS, S and M, not even L! Their measurements are also much smaller than the normal standard.
    24
  2816. You keep repeating that you also eat "regular" food, as if you're trying to convince yourself that you do!
    24
  2817. When I started watching you, you immediately made me shock about the languages you speak because they are really hard to learn. And after seeing a couple of your videos, I started to become a fan! You are so motivating and you make me want to work hard on learning languages.
    24
  2818. Of course, I didn't realize you were having a premiere. So saw it was live, as it ended. I find these recreations of other countries very interesting. The fact that China has copies of Japanese areas is something I wouldn't have thought existed. China towns have been literally in every country I've ever been in, but not so much Japanese towns. I know Japan has sort of theme park places of Europe and the US. So I guess if you can't actually do foreign travel this is the next best thing. This is a light on a part of the Chinese experience that only you give in your videos. It would be very interesting to understand the roots of why this area is failing. Was it ever supper popular, or just another failed concept. Any way great video. I arrived too late to superchat. I look forward to more of these and will try to be online when they actually happen.
    24
  2819. Thanks Anming for everything. I have a decent level in russian now after a year. I got a teacher now after finishing the pimsleur lessons and some russian pod. I started to learn chinese in this January. English is not my first language. 😄 i started this journey thanks to you. P.S: i miss your videos. Hope to see more soon.
    24
  2820. I’ve been interested in Japan ever since I was little. I really want to move there and become a Mangaka someday. Your videos always help me think about how my experience will be over there.
    24
  2821. OMG YAY❤️ im so happy for both of you!! congratulations! and best of wishes for you as you start a new chapter of life together❤️✨
    24
  2822. The edits with the dudes in the background "hi" are so humorous!
    24
  2823. I'll never understand people who waste their energy being hateful. Especially towards things that have no effect on their daily lives. You're doing a great job Anming!!!!
    24
  2824. Nice to see you and your husband in the US♥️
    24
  2825.  @OrientalPearl  love the channel! been lurking for a while :)
    24
  2826. PEARL!!! I started following you when you had 98,000 subs, and here you are at 589K! Congrats on your marriage, learning Japanese, and all your adventures....it sucked that your family couldn't come, but maybe they will some day. Again, CONGRATS!!
    24
  2827. I admire these people sincerely! to go through all this and stay in the country 😢. Love the video ❤
    24
  2828. I've always wanted to learn Japanese since I watched the mini series "Shogun" as a child. Right now I speak English & Spanish and am learning Italian. I would like to learn Mandarin & Japanese too. Thanks for your videos. You should visit Yoyoka the incredible 10 Y.O. Japanese drummer & YouTube star while you are over there.
    24
  2829. Genuine question here: Is the beef here with polyglots who claim to be fluent? Or who generally claim to be able to speak multiple languages (regardless of level)?
    24
  2830. The woman in the black dress (Which was beautiful), I thought her jaw was going to drop when you started speaking lol
    24
  2831. Thanks for shouting out my THICCC DADDY DREW 🎉❤ I LOVE YOU DAD!!!❤ ❤❤❤
    24
  2832. Love this video! You’re doing exactly what I dream of doing one day so I would love to hear more about your job and how you’ve gotten to this point. You’ve talked pretty sparingly about how you learned Japanese but you haven’t really made much content on your education or what it was like finding a job in Japan. Getting a job is a very important part of getting to live in Japan and there’s not a lot of information out there for foreigners. Your insight is perfect for me because I want to go into marketing and graphic design but also live in Japan one day! Some possible topics I’d be interested in hearing about: how you researched jobs, what getting your visa was like(I’m assuming you have a work visa?), what jobs are available to foreigners(and how competitive they are), the location of most jobs, what you do at your job(more in depth), tips for getting a job in Japan, an in depth look at your educational career that got you to where you are now, and how being a foreigner aids/hinders your work marketing for a Japanese company. I’m super excited to see what you have planned!
    24
  2833. Congratulations to you both! But going from a $300 apartment to a $2300 apartment is quite a leap! I hope it does not stretch you both too hard. And a wedding coming too ! I wish you both all the best. This week is a turning point for me too. My ex-wife buys me out of our former home and I have to plan where I want to be to continue my life! All the best to you both. Lee (UK)
    24
  2834. Things are encapsulated here also. When I get a Sandisk memory card, what a struggle, lol. I think geez, you need an engineering degree, or a stick of dynamite to get this thing out of its package.
    24
  2835. I'll be satisfied when I can be truly conversational in Japanese, which I'm still very far from. But when I was in France and Belgium, I used my very limited and I thought almost forgotten French. Surprised myself by how much I remembered, and how much came back as I used it. Was able to use my almost non existent German in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I learned very minimal Italian for my time there. Just using the little bits of the language of the country I was in always provoked a positive response. The funniest thing was when I was trying to recall an word or phrase in response, I often ended up responding unconsciously in Japanese. That truly surprised me, and happened often enough that is noticeable to the people I was with. They kept asking me why I was speaking Japanese. That's why I marvel at your ability to coherently carry on a conversation in multiple languages and keeping it all straight. Another great video, and whenever I need to gain inspiration for what is possible I only have to watch one of your videos. However, it helps that so many people know, can understand, and speak some English. Like in Asia, most know more English than I know their native language. They may be embarrassed by what they perceive as a lack of ability in English, which they are more willing to use when I have spoken to them in my poor imitations of their native tongues. Enjoyed this video.
    24
  2836. Wow! You are getting really good at editing! The transitions between segments are excellent and the flashbacks to your youth superb! I can see you are using music to establish new segments in the storyline...and don't think I did not recognize the crows in the end...Ha! The "timeless eerie tone" which, is a good use of beta sounds to direct our attention to the past. Oh, and because of these production capabilities of yours, you have an edge above Bald and Bankrupt and many other Youtube channels. Of course, you may have more time on your hands these days to take the time to edit but, it should pay off. Well done!
    24
  2837. Hopefully later this year we’ll see you on the streets of Hong Kong again. This time surprising the locals with your acquired Cantonese! :D
    24
  2838. Thanks for bringing us and showing us this place. They have such great hospitality.
    24
  2839. You speak both languages so well!
    24
  2840. "Was this place creepy?" I'd answer that "No, It looks very normal as usual. But yes a little when you're alone."
    24
  2841. Thank you for sharing your story with us! I'm a brazilian who just got to learn English, and now, my goal is to study, and gradually, speak, understand the Japanese language! I've watched many of your videos and I'm excited to watch a lot more! Keep the good work 先生!
    24
  2842. In other words, nothing beat hard work.
    24
  2843. Lol my family mixes our language with eng too 😂
    24
  2844. I really love these Japanese Vlogs , you're doing a fantastic job 😀🦊🦊
    24
  2845. I've just turned 60, is it still possible for me to learn to "speak" and " understand" Japanese?.....I don't think I could ever read or write Japanese...
    24
  2846. Aloha I’m a realtor in Hawaii and love Japan. I go there annually, during my last holiday I asked a rickshaw driver if I could pull the wagon. I got a LOL🙅‍♂️
    24
  2847. I love these little glimpses of your life and how optimistic you are in these videos. I am in awe at your intellect and social compatibility in the world. Cheers friend!
    24
  2848. Nice Job! Fantastic! I taught english in a Nova school in Kashiwa, north of Tokyo. I asked why there was no fire sprinkler system in our 7 story office building and they said it was because a fire sprinkler system would stiffen the building too much in order for it to be earthquake proof. When a quake would hit my students would look at me for instruction and I was looking back "you're the Japanese people who should know what to do! haha" This video is fun and entertaining and reminded me of that. thanks @Oriental Pearl
    24
  2849. The amount of EEEEeeeeeee in this episode is really underwhelming
    24
  2850. I personally never saw your videos as too commercial or whatever, they always seemed more personal to you than what a lot of other content creators do (which I always thought makes your channel unique). Yours are more like vlogs than anything but they are still entertaining. If you want to get any more personal, that's cool, I will watch! Just remember, it's your channel to do with as you like or whatever seems the most logical to you at the moment, whatever works. You're awesome! Tommy is a lucky man! Congratulations! Luv ya! <3
    24
  2851. Im Japanese...But I Love Philippen !!!
    24
  2852. I liked it when you and Alecia spoke Japanese. All the Japanese words sound the same to me but I can see from the English subtitles they really do form complete, complex sentences. It's fascinating how kids pick up the local language perfectly, not matter what their ancestry. Alecia does have a good American accent when speaking English.
    24
  2853. I love these videos. The reactions to an American speaking their language. Bridges so many gaps!
    24
  2854. Your channel is really inspiring me! I’ve officially finished one week of Mandarin lol it’s funny because when I listened to you speak Chinese, it unintentionally helped me with my pronunciation of the word “hé”
    24
  2855. It’s so much more fun when you can just volunteer for a couple of days. I taught as well in Japan and it’s not for everyone! So glad you could just chill with them and have fun. 😊
    24
  2856. Really appreciate you making this video. Whilst I enjoy the entertainment value of these polyglot channels, they've always felt very inauthentic to me. I wish more language-based youtubers talked about this deceptive side of the community.
    24
  2857. Well I was surprised at how many encounters you had with nanpas but there were more of them than the normal people you talk to? Dude make a vid dedicated to only nanpas! XD
    24
  2858. “How else do you think I do two videos a week?” Lol
    24
  2859. American girl speaking Chinese with Japanese person, while speaking Japanese with Chinese person... was this at a language school? No, it was while waiting for Portuguese pasteis de Nata. 🤯 There’s a glitch in The Matrix.
    24
  2860. I really enjoyed this video. You're so adorable!
    24
  2861. I’m a 2XL size-wearing American and I had only one fat-shaming experience when I was studying abroad in Japan. I was in Yokohama hanging out with my friends. We went to Cosmoworld (a well-known amusement park) and I wanted to go on this VR roller coaster ride. It wasn’t until after I bought the ticket and got in line to later learn that there was a 100kg (220lbs)weight limit. When I got in front of the line, the staff pulled me to the side and made me step on a scale. I weighed 120kg (265 lbs). I was denied entrance and felt completely embarrassed 🙈
    24

  2864. Didn't know this was a thing in Japan: "walking street vendors".
    23
  2865. I've been self learning Japanese now for 1 year and 2 months now. While its kinda sad that she said that you will need to seek some sort of formal education, she has a point. I plan on taking a Japanese college course later on in life as well as going for the JLPT N3 exam at the end of this year. Honestly, there are times where i don't have the intrinsic motivation to do it. Having the extrinsic motivation of a teacher or deadlines to help push you are really nice even though they may seem like hell. Piece of advice to anyone learning Japanese, kanji is unavoidable, no matter what anyone else says. Without kanji, Japanese is just a blob of sounds on paper. Please drill the basics in your head because they will really save you when you have a difficult time. When it comes to conversation, you don’t have the luxury of typing it out, rereading it, making corrections and remembering a grammar rule. Everything has to come out whether its right or wrong. And don't worry if its wrong, you WILL make mistakes, they are a しないといけません. Just set little goals for your self and don't think of this huge language because it will intimidate you as it did me. Don't cram hiragana in the beginning if this is your first foreign language you are learning, do a 5-15 a week and just read stuff in romaji before that. Your vocabulary base in the beginning doesn't really need kanji because they are very distinct words. And keep at it even though it will seem like such a pain. You will ask yourself "why tf am i learning this?"(I assume you are self studying at this point.) and continuing will seem like an endless battle so here is my best piece of advice. Make yourself a system, it doesn't have to be a strict "study 6 hours everyday" system but make sure you do something everyday. By something, I mean something productive like watching an anime with Japanese subtitles or making a vocabulary deck on anki and doing it, you will build something that seems like a normal everyday thing and then just expand from there. As a lazy bum that never studies in school for tests and just did my best in class, this was a nightmare at first. Just remember, you are you, even though there are soooo many people out there that are better than you, you have your own life and they have theirs. You can do it.　この句を読んでくれて感謝しています。全部の常用漢字を読めるようになるために僕はがんばらければなりません。諦めないで！

  2866. This is top-notch content. Super insightful and very unique to see Japan shown in this light. Awesome work!
    23
  2867. Good for Henry! I'm so glad he was able to pursue a career that he is so passionate about and succeeded
    23
  2868. “So, he taught us how to throw throwing stars, how to use a katana, how to juggle the sickles... However, we were not allowed to juggle the sickles. Because, those are real sickles” I remember that one from JLPT N2.
    23
  2869. I just love your videos because you are such a genuinely nice and kind person. People react positively to you because they sense this. I am sure that you will get to one million subscribers in no time! Your content is always so interesting and professionally done.
    23
  2870. when he cancelled the meet,,,u almost cried out
    23
  2871. I went to Japan around 5 years back, and my japanese was really broken and bad back then but the people were so appreciative of me trying to learn japanese and japanese culture. I was in Osaka and kyoto
    23
  2872. That lady played the Uno reverse card on you lol

  2873. Nine year veteran of teaching English in Japan here (late 90s and most of the 2000s). It seems that nothing has really changed apart from the bad parts getting worse. If anyone asked me about going over to work in Japan, especially as a teacher, I would say: Plan to do it for only a year. If you love it you can stay, but if you hate it you'll be home soon-ish!

  2874. I really loved this video, Japan is really an amazing country!! People are so sweet!! Thank you for making these videos!!
    23
  2875. My partner had fun when we were in Japan with just subtly letting someone know he understood their Japanese eg we were in a sushi bar and the sushi chef said something with innuendo as he threw a cucumber at a waiter. The sushi chef was impressed with his understanding and with our appreciation of the joke so he gave us extra free sushi.

  2876. Is it ok if I say this? Every foreign man in the comments: YES, PLEASE.
    23
  2877. Hi, subscribed thanx to the "Oriental Pearl". God bless from Poland.
    23
  2878. I've been following your journey since the pandemic and have enjoyed and learned so much! Congratulations on over 1 million subs! I know this took a lot of persistence and hard work!
    23
  2879. These are actually really good videos on spreading awareness on these certain social issues because I presume not a lot of people are aware of this situation in homogenous countries. This can help others be more informed, open and understanding vs unknowingly judging another based on their appearance, and not giving the person the chance to know them first. Makes me thankful I was born in a hetrogeno country like America cause here, you’re raised at a young age by others of many races who speak the same language, so you don’t have preconceived notions or thoughts beforehand. This is why if you’re a foreigner and you come the States and speak English, native speakers aren’t normally impressed or shocked because they’d assume you were a native in the first place 😅🤣 (unless you had an strong accent )
    23
  2880. JJ is a great choice to do a collab with...smooth interaction and fun discussion topics. If only you shared her passion for singing! :D
    23
  2881. I'm so happy that after 1,5 of studying japanese I can understand everything what you and Japanese people say without subtitles! I'm going to Japan in winter and can't wait to speak with Japanese!

  2882. I lived in China and became fairly proficient in Chinese, I mastered a fair amount of the local dialect as well. When I went outside of the city people were just amazed to see a Westerner, but you are correct speaking Chinese caused utter amazement. Learning the language opens the country up to you to. I was staggered that some westerners who had been there for decades could barely speak a word of the language, it was such a waste of an opportunity. Learning Chinese has enriched me no end and allowed interactions and connections, both in China and back home, that I would never be able to have otherwise. Chinese is not a complicated language though some of the sounds can be tough at first, the writing does take more time though. Going to China or Japan can be a brave move, but for some returning home can be even more difficult. I met too many western English teachers, both in China and Japan, who had been there way too long and had become trapped. Having a return plan is important. My years in China were some of the most rewarding of my life. Returning for me was easy as I was working for an outside tech company. Although done in a stealth manner, older Chinese women are the most forward women I have met in any culture. I have never had so many invitations for lunch etc in my life. Much of this is just inquisitiveness and about making connection, sometimes it was most certainly not. There were some hidden away restaurants were women would usually take me, mostly to show me off to other women doing the same I think. Frankly, I enjoyed the attention I would not get back in the West; I also enjoy the company of women. Some western men do not have the maturity to deal with this attention and make a mess of it. Upon returning home, retaining the language can be really difficult unless you have someone to speak to on a regular basis. Fortunately I have many Chinese co-workers.

  2883. It's cool to hear you're from the Detroit area. I grew up in Royal Oak myself! It's awesome that your husband's first experience of America was Detroit, and his reactions to everything were so heartwarming. Bringing him to Michigan in the summertime should be an amazing experience, especially if you could bring him up north. Anywho, I just recently discovered your videos and I love your channel. Keep it up! 💜
    23
  2884. It takes hours and hours of complete immersion into a language to get it. Speaking with native speakers is the way and most of said native speakers are happy to help. What I've learned is this: you don't have time to translate, so learn to think in that language.
    23
  2885. 哇，谢谢你们! 你们都是我为什么开始学外语! Thank you so much for shedding light on this topic. As a person who discovered his passion for foreign languages becuase of these sorts of channels, at first I thought It was the coolest thing ever. Now after a year of chinese, I noticed that many of these channels are just showing off basic language just to get a reaction. I'm not judging though becuase I guess it's just a different type of content and it's kinda fun to see the reaction. But I'm super glad that people like you and Matt exist in the language community, giving real tips for genuine language learners. Keep doing what you do! I hope your channels grows even more and your content can reach 我们真正的语言爱的人!

  2886. Nothing wrong with being mixed. My mom is Bosnian & dad Croatian, Im somewhat of a hybrid myself. I would take her out on a date in a heart beat 😏
    23
  2887. Editing was spot on. Especially love the drone shots of Michigan. Love the videos and wishing you continued safety. What a privilege it must be to see so much of the world. Cant wait to see what's next!
    23
  2888. I remember visiting Japan, and it was young people who were very interested in me because of my height and shoe size. It was fun at first but it got old after awhile.
    23
  2889. If you had a nickel for every time somebody said, "Your Chinese is really good"....
    23
  2890. It pelted down on my sister's wedding day here in England. It's actually a sign of good luck. You looked absolutely amazing. Belated congratulations.
    23
  2891. This was an interesting video, I remember watching Katie’s interview here on YouTube called the Black experience Japan!! ❤️❤️
    23
  2892. I'm finnish and that guy may give a wrong impression of Finland 😅 we do say sorry, it's true that not as much as in Japan but that guy makes us sound a bit rude 😬 I really enjoy watching your videos, I started to learn Japanese too thanks to your videos ^^ Lots of love from 🇫🇮
    23
  2893. I believe that the language learning community should also enjoy culture learning. I like how learning a language and the culture ties in together. With your upcoming marriage I believe it will be very interesting to show the traditions that you two combine when you combine your lives together.
    23
  2894. Tommy is so adorable, like a kid in a Toy store. Its refreshing to film outside of Japan but still with Japanese culture . Looking forward to more videos from you both
    23
  2895. MORE MORE MORE of theese your vids!! You deserves millions of subscribers! :D :D
    23
  2896. First, please ignore the critics. I started watching YouTube because of the pandemic. I started watching you and then subscribed because I admire your language skills. I have always wanted to learn two languages, but because I don't travel there is no way of becoming fluent. So keep up the good work and good vlogs. From Pennsylvania.
    23
  2897. Love hot springs. Glad you got to enjoy such a nice vacation. You always show every side of the places you go. Thanks for your compassion.
    23
  2898. 12:30 awww omg those two boys swaying is so adorable
    23
  2899. I was waiting for you to post about this! Thank you for exposing and educating us all. <3
    23
  2900. Think about it...even Popeye didn't eat his spinach until he absolutely had to!
    23
  2901. Nice to see you been awhile... Congratulations on your masters wish you all the luck. Great video thanks for all the hard work 😇
    23
  2902. I really appreciate how open Japanese people appear, as I am looking forward to visit Japan. Already learning Japanese since 2 years. ビデオ本当楽しいです。
    23
  2903. There's a lot we can learn from Japan! I really love their calmness in situations. Had it been in America, everyone would be out of control.
    23
  2904. That’s so funny and kinda scary. Ughh I wish I lived there too.
    23
  2905. That was one of your best videos! Beautifully filmed and little Yuna was really cute! I was in Tokyo in 2000 and only saw Mt. Fuji very briefly. With such a wonderful weather day, your film was so much better! I am subscribed. Really enjoy the videos. Take care. All the best from the UK. Lee
    23
  2906. It is kind of a luxury in Tokyo! Apartment price is not bad for such a metro city. It is twice that in Hong Kong. I wonder how much a small house on the outer skirt of Tokyo would cost? I see tv show on remodeling of old home in Japan and the cost is about ¥1M+. The result was amazing. It would give you more space and style flexibility.
    23
  2907. Oh wow, it seems like your channel is becoming so popular! I'm so happy for you :D
    23
  2908. From now on im rolling my eyes any time an American restaurant says theyre giving me "jumbo shrimp".
    23
  2909. OMG! Congrats!! And hey! if your channel keeps growing, I'm sure you will be able to finance a place like that one day! The new place looks AMAZING!!!!
    23
  2910. I've no idea how I ended up in your channel, but I like it. 頑張ってね！
    23
  2911. Wow.. what a difference no drugs make. They build literal tiny homes. Wow amazing
    23
  2912. Poor Tommy, give him a hug 😂
    23
  2913. The very 1st person I started watching speak mandarin was Moses aka Laoshu. He became a reeeeaaallll piece of work imo. Lost a lot of his viewers due to making titles like "black man fingers asian womans mind with amazing mouth skills" and things of the like. It really made a lot of people cringe. And in one particular video where he was harassing a small asian woman in a library, he KEPT asking her about if she was married and if she was still happy in her marriage. TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR AND RUDE. Yes, she couldve just ignored him or walked away, but if you're a woman like I am, you have most likely dealt with this same behavior personally and you know the man will start to be nasty and rude if you ignore the harrassment. So that's probably why she sat there and tried to be nice. In any case, I definitely had to unsubscribe from his channel after those nasty titles kept flooding my feed.
    23
  2914. Great to see you back in China. Learning any language is not child's play but surprising people is once you've mastered it.! :D
    23
  2915. What a brilliant man! I loved watching John quiz the kids on history. Great episode!🙌🏻🙏🏻
    23
  2916. I know you have said in the past you don’t like making language reaction videos as much... but when I saw you posted another reaction video it did bring a smile to my face :)
    23
  2917. If you enjoy the vid then like it, if you don't then move on... Why dislike it tho : /
    23
  2918. I’m sure they’re not shocked he’s American🙄 It’s just not a big deal here. See it everyday so... live & let live I say.
    23
  2919. I love your energy. Keep up the great work!
    23
  2920. That uncle at the beginning of the video is radiating some real life goals energy. Also, that English on the hoodie of the guy briefly glimpsed near the end of the video made me laugh. I wonder if he knows what it means.
    23
  2921. The “not working out” bit... lol that’s happened when I try to explain to my Spanish speaking friends. Cute ☺️
    23
  2922. I love that I feel like I'm walking around with you in and around the city speaking with people and buying things and food. I feel like i'm right there with you! thank you sooooo much!
    23
  2923. Tell me why the Chinese boy has the same voice as V from BTS 😂
    23
  2924. 10:30 America is the opposite? yo f that. i love your nose!
    23
  2925. I wish I could actually know how well he speaks, but I don't speak Japanese. This motivates me to keep studying Mandarin though!
    23
  2926. I moved to Osaka 2 years ago. Right before the pandemic, it was a fun time talking to random people. But now, it's so difficult to have moments like this because of the pandemic.
    23
  2927. The two dudes at 6:58 were so eyeballing you.
    23
  2928. I love the way the old guy said "Japanese JUNK FOODO" 😂😂 Incredibly nice guys
    23
  2929. I really love that elderly woman! She is so funny and sociable. I could tell you had fun talking with her lol
    23
  2930. Your vlogs are so easy to watch and calming. I also love learning about other cultures. Looking forward to the next one!
    23
  2931. Oh, I could hear the disappointment in your voice when your friend didn't show up.😕I had a trip back to Japan planned for this month (I had to cancel it) and my friend wanted me to get an international drivers license to drive one of their family cars. When I lived in Japan, I didn't drive at all so I was a bit worried about it. I'm used to wide roads over here, and pulling forward into parking spots. People here can also spend a lot on their fur babies. As far as crowded trains, I once got on a train after a fireworks show in Yokohama and it was so packed that I could not move at all!
    23
  2932. Nice video <3 I have been nominated for an exchange programme at Waseda for the spring 2021 semester, but I am nervous about the entry ban in Japan, and also just the closed universities - do you have any idea if the universities are going to open before then? And for how long do you think the entry ban will be enforced? TIA!
    23
  2933. You're literally the nicest person ‼️lol😂 I love how youre teaching your friends the English lingos lolz please be safe much love and respect your friend Eddie 🙏❤️💯
    23
  2934. Congratulations on your master's degree graduation and good luck for your job hunting <3 Is it hard for a foreigner to open a business in Japan because i could easily see you as a successful entrepreneur with that fearless spirit of yours :) Have a great weekend and take care :)
    23
  2935. This kinda reminds me of when I took a creative writing class in college. It was a similar experience to what was described here right down to the cult-like enviroment and gatekeeping. Only difference is that language gurus, as far as I'm aware, don't make fighting riot police as a prerequisite to participate further into their lessons.
    23
  2936. Twenty years ago the reaction would have been much more intense. Star Wars isn't in the media as much as it was, and some of the younger kids probably only knew it was a robot which in itself was neat. The kids were always much more excited when their parents were also excited. R2 provoked quite the response so that yourself, and Richard were kind of relegated to side show status. This was a cute video.
    22
  2937. I love seeing the quiet people open up immediately as soon as you speak their language.
    22
  2938. I immidiately identified him as Finnish. That hint of an accent (actually Finnish and Japanese is kinda similar) plus the way he looks :)
    22
  2939. I loved every second of the video. Thanks for taking us there with you!!!❤❤❤❤
    22
  2940. I feel myself embarrassed for being a Japanese descendant and having almost zero knowledge in the language. I was born in Brazil, and my grandparents of both sides, father and mother, are Japanese, but came to this country because of the war. Now this is very interesting, it's amazing to see people from other countries that have no bonds with your people, speaking your language fluently like it's just natural. I can't imagine myself speaking japanese or reading kanji, although being a descendant...
    22
  2941. ▓▒░   What an interesting  video. That scene of   the panda (6:18) is really something. I didn't realize pandas could grow that large. ░ Watching this video... ...I am reminded to pray for her. In fact, if there are any sincere believers in the Lord Jesus Christ reading this, remember to pray for her - and her family in Michigan. And never forget what kind of world we live in. ░▒▓ `
    22
  2942. Oh my god when they synced it was like a scene from an anime!!! ほんとね　すごい　めちゃすごい！！！！
    22
  2943. This was fun to watch
    22
  2944. YOU GOT THE MILLION PLAQUE!!! Been a follower a while now, so happy to see you hit a million! ❤❤❤ Praying for Drew. I hope we can raise some funds to help!
    22
  2945. Everybody: sam is a good guy. Me: * visits Sams page* Sams page: my top 5 favorite Japanese pornstars.. xD
    22
  2946. I love the reaction i get in Guangzhou for me it relax's them and makes them feel proud that you went all the way to learn the language, In HK English is spoken more often now buy the young folk but its still a buzz for them and for me when we can relax and talk in their native tongue. Keep up the videos love them.
    22
  2947. Alyssa, CONGRATS!!!! I am now a subscriber to Tokyodrew, and sending love, light, and prayers to him. I myself am a Cancer "sur"thrivore, and even though every battle is a personal one, he will not be alone in his fight! Blessing to you all!🙏👍👍
    22
  2948. Been going Japan annually since 2013 till Feb 2020…really hope they open up to tourist by end 2022… definitely my favourite country to visit
    22
  2949. 0:22 Sumimasen is not enough of an excuse for THAT amount of damage. 土下座 would have been necessary! 😆😉
    22
  2950. Shoot, those noodles really came down a chute! In terms of entertainment this video absolutely hit the nail on the/your head. :D
    22
  2951. I have been following your channel for so long but this video with your interaction with the Chinese/Japanese couple in the supermarket was special. Never stop creating amazing content like this it is so inspiring and great to watch it always makes me smile!!
    22
  2952. She's cute, "I didn't understand a word you said." I don't know anything about the other guy from the Netherlands but you sure didn't seem intimidated by his performance. Good show you killed it.
    22
  2953. Also...wearing open-toed heels on a bicycle is like a rite of passage in Japan.
    22
  2954. 4:07 that kid is totally dressed up as kiki from kiki delivery service
    22
  2955. I love how, when learning a new language you are conquering barriers. Everyone seems so nice. I would be nervous already meeting new people even before I spoke a different language
    22
  2956. This was a really cute episode love seeing you and Tommy together, that couple you visited at the end seemed very sweet and kind, though I was unsure of if they took in guests as a courtesy for staying nearby or it was arranged to visit them? You both looked amazing in your yukatas as well, thanks for the code as well Anming!
    22
  2957. No “lock-down” in effect in Japan? last I saw on the news there health service is on the brink of collapse.....stay safe 🤞🏻
    22
  2958. Anming, I’ve. Even a fan of yours since 5k subscribers. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful moment in your life, I’m so happy for you! Just know that you’re living my absolute dream and you inspire me every day. I’m planning on going back to school for international relations this spring :)
    22
  2959. The rain and the miso soup, the shinkansen...aah, nastukashii ne! Welcome back! It’s always good to see you in a video!
    22
  2960. My wife is from Japan and it is the same family dynamic as you saw in this video. I think it is a cultural thing, but teasing shows closeness. You are part of the inner family circle and can be honest about each other’s faults in a fun way. And I think it is usually the husbands who bear the brunt of it from what I have seen. My interpretation of the traditional Japanese family is that the father in law is the honoured retired man who has supported the family for years and is too tired for any more teasing - he has performed his role and is exempt. The mother in law has been the backbone of the family and is in high regard, the wife is the patient rock who supports her husband and runs the household, and therefore the husband is the lowest in the hierarchy and is under close scrutiny to ensure he does his duty to keep the home and family successful by not spending frivolously, drinking too much, eating junk food, being on time for work etc. just my observations. I don”t think the teasing was simply because Tommy is the child, because I get it too as a foreigner as do all the other husbands I have seen. But it is a good kind of teasing.
    22
  2961. You're so mature for your age. Being in many different countries would've made you learn a lot more about the world. Your parents must be proud of you. I hope they are. I feel inspired. I'd love to go to Japan (and America) someday. Beautiful countries.
    22
  2962. my sister spent time in japan in the late 60ties--she was 5'10" tall with long white blond hair--she could not go anywhere with out a crowd back then--they always wanted to touch her hair which she thought was rude but oh well--japan was way different 55 years ago...
    22
  2963. I'm so glad you're reunited at last. Your beautiful outfits together were stunning to see! I really loved that waterfall you found in nature, it looked out of a nature documentary or something. Congrats on your marriage, getting married is the easy part... Now here comes the hard work :) I hope all goes well with the in-laws. I look forward to the next honeymoon episode!!
    22
  2964. Here in Portugal it's the opposite 😅 when you want to move out, you're being the smart, brave one 😂 we always loved traveling eheheh
    22
  2965. I love your videos anming! One of my favorite youtubers! ❤
    22
  2966. Sharing of culture is one thing, but some countries still have scars from the atrocities of the war. While we love everything Japan these days, we still haven't got the apology that we deserved from their war crimes. I'm from the Philippines, and we're a forgetful country. I think, China's not so forgetful like us, thus, the current state of that street.
    22
  2967. When I lived in Japan I went to get my hair cut. The entire barbershop was shocked to learn that blond hair becomes blonder when exposed to light. Dark Japanese hair apparently isn't affected by the sun.
    22
  2968. Just wanted to say thank you to your partner and his family for letting us in on their culture and this important holiday! Thankful Xx
    22
  2969. You're developing into a documentarian, with history involved, which I think is very interesting in itself and intriguing in what you show us. Japan at another level of observation. Do keep this up. Robert, UK.
    22
  2970. Moving to another continent, learning the language and settling there even if only for few months require a strong will and ability to adapt: you are really to be admired! I am curious to see which country are you going to choose in the medium term, whether Japan or China. P.S. Your eyes color is enchanting!
    22
  2971. I love that you turned that guy hitting on you into a subscriber. You are my hero.
    22
  2972. You know you have 'mastered' a language or are confident enought in it when you can actually pick up on accents. I feel that's the tipping point for being comfortable with a language. Sadly my Japanese is still at anime level so everyone sounds the same to me ... perfect fluent Japanese XD
    22
  2973. It really is "way to fun" . I can't wait for the video you both plan on doing. Thank you for sharing !!
    22
  2974. Pearl, you’re really awesome. As if mastering Mandarin, Japanese and Korean is not hard enough, you are going to learn Cantonese and Vietnamese as well. That’s beyond me. Pearl 加油, 加油, 加油!
    22
  2975. Woah Alyssa! What a tremendous investigative journalistic undertaking. Thank you for giving the 0% a fair chance at sharing their words with the world, the kind of attention their own country cannot afford them. This is important work not only because you humanize that demographic, but you're doing well to teach your audience about the pros and cons about a country. We're seeing a trend in America glamorizing expat lifestyles, but it's important to remember that the struggle is universal - even in seemingly superb societies!
    22
  2976. 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
    22
  2977. I really love seeing Sam💗 He reminds me of my son. His long hair, personality..also his sarcasm 😄 I also loved that little character. It makes me smile when I see it!
    22
  2978. 1:30 OMG. Why they hold your left arm like this? 😳😳😳
    22
  2979. I speak, read and write in 4 languages and I am still not a polyglot.
    22
  2980. Getting interviewed by you and possibly a trip with you to China kinda softens what he’s been through! :D
    22
  2981. I think it largely depends on the purposes of learning the language. Sometimes, people just want to be able to communicate with native speakers on a conversational level. Sometimes, even people fall in love with the language sounds and just want to dive a little deeper without actually the need to be absolute fluents.
    22
  2982. You are my inspiration for learning Japanese, love from Philippines.
    22
  2983. I absolutely love this video! You bring so much joy, not only to the people you interact with on the streets, but your audience as well. I feel completely comfortable watching the conversation unfold as if I'm a participant. You do a great job with this channel!
    22
  2984. That kitchen table must have witnessed many great occasions, happy times, fun conversations and delicious food. Oh, and the murder of that Pikachu cake too! :D
    22
  2985. Anyone dont comment things like: Anyone still watching 2030? Because we still keep rewatching this awesome vlogs as many times we want
    22
  2986. How inspiring! All I really want is to keep learning japanese and maybe get to live my dream to visit this wonderful country.. Thank you so much for showing us all of this, it motivates me a lot!
    22
  2987. You have a very nice charisma, to connect with people. And that's difficult in Asia, especially with the Japanese!
    22
  2988. How to make 12 friends in a second, speak their mother tongue.
    22
  2989. Man this video really put a smile on my face. Despite all the obstacles you faced, different cultures /customs/ rain/ and especially your family not being able to attend or despite not having the typical traditional type of celebration...you two both had smiles on your faces since you two were able to be with one and other and get married. I really love your videos! You and your husband are so cute together!
    22
  2990. The lady behind the counter said "She speaks in a Fujian dialect." That's like a lonely Martian hiding on earth saying: "Hey, check this out - she's one of us!"
    22
  2991. I'm honestly more impressed with her English. She sounds 100% American, having never lived in the US
    22
  2992. When I was a tourist in Taiwan in 2004 I was frequently told how beautiful my skin was (because I'm pale). My (ex) husband and I got stared at a lot because we are both pale and he is (very) tall (6 feet). I don't recall anyone asking for photos. It was a notable experience because where I live has a high asian population and nobody at home would ever stare at me or comment on these characteristics. I've also noticed that asian tourists have different priorities when taking photos. Westerners want a photo of the thing/place they are visiting and asian tourists want photos of people in front of the thing they are visiting. My family would often wonder why they are blocking the photos of thing they are visiting by standing in front of it in the photo.
    22
  2993. Thanks for sharing your journey.
    22
  2994. Never clicked so fast lol Keep up the good work ❤️
    22
  2995. The two students swaying together to the music was so cute lol. Great video, as always, and loved your new friend, Royce, as well! Amazing talent! 👏🎹🎶
    22
  2996. As someone who studied abroad in Taiwan for three months this was incredibly nostalgic ❤
    22
  2997. 7:57 you teach him the important stuff I guess... 😆
    22
  2998. The irony of learning Japanese... I understood ‘わかりました’ 😅
    22
  2999. The young man's English is excellent. I can see how he would feel more comfortable in the US. Enjoyed the video.
    22
  3000. 7:44 Having a feeling for the language . Absolutely agreed
    22
  3001. You have so beautiful eyes color blue look like ocean water
    22
  3002. I’m looking forward to watching this! Get to see a possibility of what can be by studying Japanese 👀
    22
  3003. knowledge of many languages ​​opened many doors in the world, especially in my profession - symphonic conductor…I speak: English,Deutsch, 日本語, polski, русский and українською🇺🇦my native… just those people who criticize polyglots - envy.
    22
  3004. I'm fascinated by Japan and it's culture, it's people seem so nice too. I have the impression that it's extremely expensive to just get by there compared to life in Western Europe.
    22
  3005. Loved your interaction with people and their friendly responses. However, my favorite part was the first minute. You enjoying one of the simple pleasures of life. And, you looking for an invisible treat in the box and then on the ground.
    22
  3006. This channel is so underrated! Keep posting =)
    22
  3007. This is so true, as a spanish native speaker whenever I hear these people speak the language it's so awful, it is like they literally translate word per word ignoring false cognites and other stuff that advanced language learners are aware of
    22
  3008. I like the variety.
    22
  3009. Tbh i kinda want to learn korean since ive been learning Japanese for 2.5 years and its been awesome. I watch a lot of art videos on YouTube and ive seen a lot of korean art videos, and listening to their voices it sounds like a really aesthetically pleasing language, plus i like the way the text looks. Ive never listened to kpop or watched kdramas but if i start learning, what better way to get into it? Plus, speaking it to a native puts a smile on their face, and you cant complain about that
    22
  3010. Miss Japan so much! Had the friendliest encounters while being in Japan.... hoped to be back 2020 but You-Know-What changed my plans... try to make the best out of it but feeling homesick? for Japan so it's great to watch your video. Nice work 😊
    22
  3011. Halloween in Shibuya is the stuff of dreams! Mega fun!!! Thanks for covering it Anming!
    22
  3012. Impressive that you only studied Japanese for 5 years and you're fluent.
    22
  3013. Aw Anming this was such a nice video! I remember subbing to you on my old account when you had just 15k followers. Glad you’re getting the recognition you deserve :)
    22
  3014. I've heard some of the most hardcore goths are in Japan. Thanks for the video Oriental Pearl! It was fun! Plus I got the bell notification so I only had to wait until I got home from work instead of finding the video in my feeds three days later. Have a great day everyone!
    21
  3015. I would love to go visit Japan. Looks so beautiful but first I should probably learn the language 😬
    21
  3016. Two foreigners speaking Japanese to each other, interesting 😂❤️
    21
  3017. “I want to show them it’s okay to eat Chinese food.”
    21
  3018. Keep glitching Pearl , make Neo proud
    21
  3019. So happy to see that uncle was able to amaze someone from afar with his life long passion.
    21
  3020. I hope you know how jealous I am of you and your amazing life experiences, I sincerely thank you for sharing them with us all, you absolute babe ❤
    21
  3021. The ones that can't, please pray for Tokyo Drew. 🙏🏽
    21
  3022. You're right..I've never seen anything like that bamboo in Michigan either.
    21
  3023. The lady who said she'd wait for you to show up to speak Vietnamese to her looks like she's sharp enough to remember you. I guess we'll wait for the follow-up video in a couple of years. It's nice to see that you're still surprising the hell out of people by speaking multiple languages. And you don't look Russian at all to me, so that's funny that they assume that is where you're from. But I guess that it would not be a stretch for a Russian woman from say, Vladivostok to learn several other languages. Looking forward to more videos in the future!
    21
  3024. You can insert the "its a trap" meme next time...
    21
  3025. In the beginning it's all fun and not so hard, but then you continue and you hit a wall. And it's hard getting over that wall. (i'm learning russian)
    21
  3026. I predict that Anming will dress like an anime character within months lol !
    21
  3027. That Mandarin speaking Japanese girl is as surprised as you in finding out that you speak Mandarin too. It’s cool to hear both you of you speaking Mandarin to each other.
    21
  3028. Learning languages is interesting, it opens your mind a lot. Though they're useless I can't imagine using only one language anymore. When you learn something interesting you can't imagine thinking the way you thought before, it happens with languages, physics, psychology, and many other subjects.
    21
  3029. I'm learning so much about Japan from your videos. This one was educational and you met some very entertaining people. Thumbs up ! Dave in the UK.
    21
  3030. Your videos are good cuz of the content. Sure a better camera would give you a better image but I don't think it would add that much value at the moment. New cameras are not cheap! they might not be as durable or compact as a Go Pro. If you want to improve on image quality, you could try Davinci Resolve (free version) and play around with the color and sharpening settings. Works wonders for my action camera footage.
    21
  3031. Wow her dancing is amazing! She makes some almost illusion-like moves! I love it!
    21
  3032. I wanna learn japanese too. Im impressed how you are so good. I WAS THE FIRST LIKE OMG
    21
  3033. Finally someone said it!!! I was so pissed when I saw a video with a title that said sth like "I learned a certain language in a week" ... like wtf i've been studying languages since i was little and i know for a fact that's impossible. It takes years to become fluent and even if i have some kind of certificate that proves my fluency i wouldn't necessarily consider myself fluent if i haven't rly been exposed to an environment where that language is spoken for a longer period of time. I was rly angry because youtubers like this are very misleading and I think most people would end up giving up. Another good point you made was studying multiple languages at the same time... if you really want to reach a level of proficiency that's the worst thing you could do because you'll end up mixing the languages and eventually you'll sound average speaking all of them. I guess that's fine if it is the persons goal but still those youtubers should't be that misleading. People should know that learning a language takes a lot of effort and time and if you're not persistent throughout the whole learning process, you won't be able to master it to a level close to that of a native speaker.
    21
  3034. Sometimes, after a long day full of encounters with rude people, I like to come to this channel to be uplifted by the warm, friendly, and confident interactions in your videos. thank you :3
    21
  3035. Funny , you mentioned fighting them for the bill , back in 2017 when I went with my friend, our Japanese friend wanted to play for our meals and we told her that we'd pay the next one , she ended up lying to us saying she got up to go to the toilet when I asked the waitress for the bill and paid it before we even knew what was happening. Such a funny memory 😂
    21
  3036. Did you know that it says "do not put in your ears" on a lot of cotton swabs. I'm 41 years young and I have never put anything in my ears except for earbuds, and I never had trouble with them, also my doctor strongly recommended too never clean them with anything as ears clean themselves. Love videos on Akihabara, thank you.
    21
  3037. PLEASE folks- Anming works so hard on this channel and making great content!! She even takes the time out of her day to speak with her fans on here AND through her social media, because she CARES! She is a humble, sweet woman who deserve our support...PLEASE get the word out to your friends and family and introduce them to one of the sweetest people I know!
    21
  3038. Damn you’ve grown a lot since you started back making.. congrats mama
    21
  3039. 6:22 watch his eyebrows when you mention Fudan University, he's impressed!
    21
  3040. Another great video 👍 … as someone who comes from a mixed background myself, Puerto Rican-German-Italian, I can empathize with others in similar situations in how to trying to figure out where they fit in and if they will be accepted. I just eventually learned overtime that worrying about what others think of me was a waste of time and just live life because in the end you’ll meet all kinds of people, good and bad and everything in between.
    21
  3041. Some of your best content. Well done.
    21
  3042. Congrats to the both of you. Wishing you a very happy, healthy long life together! :)
    21
  3043. Weeb living their dream.. proud fellow seen moment for all of us
    21
  3044. Thats very easy japanese me : NANI!!!
    21
  3045. One of my favorite videos. All the laughing and just enjoying the day was infectious. Aju is going to have to start knocking the boys away now.
    21
  3046. I love how the first woman switches to Japanese sometimes, saying stuff like “sugoi” Also her English accent is definitely Japanese!
    21
  3047. Absolutely love this video. The way you handled this was perfect. Also, cultures are typically open minded to other cultures. Especially when people are learning about one or sharing information . As human beings we should not combat cultural appropriation with the argument of skin color or physical appearance. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
    21
  3048. The half black half Japanese girl is SOP PRETTY! kinda remind me of singer Miho Furukawa
    21
  3049. Richard's perspective of how to observe people to gain a sense of if/how to approach people is really insightful! I agree, people conflate making friends or new acquaintances much harder than it actually is. Not everyone needs to end up being a friend but you can end up having lovely interactions and even potentially some lifelong friends. You never know if you don't try! Such a fun and interesting video. Thanks Anming!
    21
  3050. You inspire me to learn Mandarin! Have you already learned or plan to learn Cantonese and perhaps a southeast asian language like Vietnamese?
    21
  3051. This is definitely the kind of content I'd like to see more of on YouTube! Genuine chats and interactions with Japanese people in Japanese. Great video, I hope to be seeing more in the future!
    21
  3052. This may very well be my favorite video of yours. It filled me with the joy of childhood curiosity. The adventurous part of wonder. I can not help but smile to the point my facial muscles start to hurt... You know? Like when we were kids 😁
    21
  3053. Hey Pearl, I've watched a few of your videos and really enjoy your channel but I will say after watching this video I have decided to become a subscriber. I think that it's very strong of a person to stand up for themselves and speak out against the trolls and haters just because they are too afraid and unconfident with themselves to share their life experience, I hope you get a chance to read this comment and it lifts your spirits and brings you strength. I look forward to watching more of your content and seeing a glimpse of your life experience life experience in Japan !!!!
    21
  3054. This video is a joy. We saw a motorcycle that could only exist in Japan. We shopped with you in the "What is it? Why is it? shop. And share your elation after your interview. You're right. It was a good day.
    21
  3055. When I was living in Hokkaido I can't take one step without being the center of attention. Blond curly hair and a height of 1,91 metres always gathered the japanese around me like I was giving away instant noodles for free. I miss this sh*t. See you again, Japan. 😂
    21
  3056.  @OrientalPearl  I watch almost every video of yours. They are so fun and inspirational. I'm also studying Japanese and videos like yours always get me back into the process of studying. They are like a reminder. Also, one of the goals of my language learning is also Showing off. 😊 Because why shouldn't we enjoy our hard work :) Anyway, Thanks for making such videos! I really appreciate it. I hope I can interview you on my channel so that more people get interested in the language learning 😊 Arigatou
    21
  3057. There was this girl she made a video knowing over ten languages. Im Vietnamese and i was exited when Vietnamese came up but she lterally counted to five with a BAD accent 🤣🤣🤣 and called it a day
    21
  3058. This was so pleasant! Y'all were so friendly with everyone and there were smiles all around. I find this channel always reminds me to have confidence and to give others a chance. You made a lot of peoples day with this and the laughter and happiness were infectious!
    21
  3059. What I like about Japan is the fact that, as they grow older, they don't outgrow their childhood hobbies.
    21
  3060. Great interview. I'm mixed race just like Sachiko. I grew up in California. I spoke Japanese first, but my Mom stopped speaking to me in Japanese when there was some confusion with an adult who was watching me. Sadly I lost the language but when I hear it continuously I get the gist of the conversation. When I went to Japan my Obachan was surprised I could understand T.V. 🥰
    21
  3061. Thank you for your insights into this difficult topic!
    21
  3062. When she said she was from Detroi I yelled Detroit smash ;~;
    21
  3063. I would love to live in rural Japan. Dunno whether I would like the city or the countryside more though. Thanks for the video! I'm learning more and more everyday :D
    21
  3064. I love how your 50th 'Happy Halloween!" is just as enthusiastic as the first! 😋 You are so awesome! Happy Halloween! 🎃
    21
  3065. Wonderful the way you can joke with people. Flows like water in a river. Absolute proof of how fluent you are. BTW...When you're so fluent you can pick any title you like. It can only make people jealous 😉I hope you and Tommy had a pleasent Christmas and wish both of you the very best in the up coming year 🥂
    21
  3066. Cultural appropriation, really? This is absolutely no problem with anyone who loves Japanese culture. Some foreigners who live in Japan should have love both cultures and approaches to love any aspects of Japan. Cultural appreciation is a term where people love all kind of culture and traditions. There is absolutely no problem with the people who loves Japanese culture and speaking the language. Just let them love any culture if they want.
    21
  3067. You are a favourite of mine, I wish more people watched your content keep it up!
    21
  3068. Such a wholesome video, Tommy's dad seeing you off at the station really melted my heart haha 🥰 Lovely to see how both cultures can connect, all you need is to be willing to understand the other 💓 Can't wait to see how Tommy's first trip to the US goes!
    21
  3069. I almost spit out my drink laughing so hard at 7:56
    21
  3070. I subscribed a couple of years ago (and I always like the videos), you are entertaining and informative. I've always known you as Anming, I've watched all of this content and today discovered your name. It took me long enough 😁
    21
  3071. the hardest part to travel to other countries is the " language barrier ".
    21
  3072. Absolutely love the energy you put out into the world it’s intoxicating! Can’t wait to see more
    21
  3073. i love your shows, they make me laugh so much, its nice to see someone enjoying themselves when out exploring.
    21
  3074. Another great little video!🥰 I've never lived in Japan, but have been there numerous times on short holiday and the main thing I noticed was that, if I spoke Japanese to someone, ofcourse their was positive surprise from them! However, they would then reply in English! 😅😅 I would put this down to their, being back handedly respectful (I make the effort to speak Japanese, so they then make the effort to speak my language in response). The exception to this was, younger kids 😅🥰
    21
  3075. I wish I could go to Japan and making friends too 🥺 I've studied Japanese language years back and now I'm completely forgotten most of it (well, I do remember just the basic things lol) Loved your videos Anming! I wish we could make any friends everywhere in the world and explore the beauty of how vast the cultures is. I always love it when I could have a conversation around foreigners using some of their language that I learnt, made me so happy that nothing can stop people building friendship! <3
    21
  3076. 🚨Wait this is #5... Yah that means I get to watch 4,3,2,&1 ... Cereal and language it's going to be a good morning!🚨
    21
  3077. Yay i was hoping to see more collabs with Richard and R2
    21
  3078. As a Swede this gave me tears of joy, I just know Avicii would love this ❤️✨
    21
  3079. The analogy with music is a good one, since there really are people who do "I LEARNED VIOLIN IN 1 WEEK" type videos! In a lot of where they pretend to have less starting knowledge of the instrument than they actually do. It's the same annoying sensationalism...
    21
  3080. Ok this one made me cry tears of joy!!!! I'm so in love with Japan even though I love China so much. Japan has a certain grasp that pulls you in. This channel and Rion Ishida have taken my soul to a whole new level with the Japanese culture. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I LOVE YOU 🇯🇵!!!!!
    21
  3081. Very happy to see you hit the million subscribers mark. Lots of hardwork on your part. Always having great content. You've come a long way. Congratulations!
    21
  3082. 3:10 Oops, he scanned you, now you're married, that's how it works
    21
  3083. Pearl, as always, can't stay without liking your video. 👍👍👍👍
    20
  3084. I studied Japanese, then subsequently lived there, many years ago. It’s so true that if you don’t use it, you lose it. I enjoy listening to your videos and re-learning Japanese. Thank you for the subtitles!
    20
  3085. I once thought about working in the anime industry and discovred how tough it would be and kinda gave up
    20
  3086. CONGRATULATIONS! May you have a joyous life together! Cheers.
    20
  3087. "Looking for friends" 💔feel that one🤣
    20
  3088. This was fascinating! I’d love to see more interviews like this.
    20
  3089. You know me, I say your look stands out even in America. You must really stand out in Japan. I love your videos. Reaching across cultures helps build bridges. You are our unpaid diplomat.
    20
  3090. This was so much fun! I miss Japan. You really got people to come out of their shells. Wow!
    20
  3091.  @OrientalPearl  indeed, people like to be entertained rather then educated. But giving your Chinese language skill you will be able to create a great following on YouTube. (Eventough I think that education is more important then YouTube cloud)
    20
  3092. If katie does a YouTube channel ID WATCH for sure !!!!
    20
  3093. I was in Tokyo in 2018 for a couple of months, when I felt two earthquakes. I live in the UK - so I've never experienced one before. I freaked out, both times! I can't remember the origin, but it was a few hundred Km out to sea. I went to report it on some quake website - only to find out that I was one of 3 people who thought it was worth mentioning. The millions of Tokyians probably never noticed it. Great video - but I felt sorry for those poor pigeons.
    20
  3094. “How else do you think I do two videos a week?” 😂 he’s such a cool dude! the fluidity between your convos in Japanese is very entertaining, even if I can only read the captions lol Do you study international relations only in Chinese or also in Japanese? Because it seems pretty difficult to learn the in-depth concepts of business and to do it in another language!
    20
  3095. 5:28 Mic drop 😅
    20
  3096. Man, that sticker was holding on by a thread. My anxiety went 📈📈
    20
  3097. Speaking one Asian language is hard, speaking Japanese, Korean and Chinese is amazing, almost like a superpower!
    20
  3098. Thank you so much for your videos! My parents can't travel anymore but I still wish they could meet my in-laws.
    20
  3099. These videos are so fun!!! I can't get enough of them!! Great Job!!
    20
  3100. currently studying to read manga, watch anime and go to japan without looking for translation i love your channel I'm from PH
    20
  3101. Chinese: your Chinese is so good! Japanese: i’ve always wanted to touch a foreigners hair.
    20
  3102. it's always so much fun to see you switch between languages so seamlessly. That transition between japanese, english and chinese was really impressive :D love your videos
    20
  3103. Its amazing how you are willing to open up and speak up too. Things like praising strangers for their clothing sense, striking up conversations. All these may seem simple when you know the language but having the courage and willingness to initiate a conversation is really tough and hard to do so kudos to you for showing us all these content through your videos!!!
    20
  3104. I speak 9 languages and I honestly believe I'm fluent in only one of them, so I'm shocked by how poorly these 'polyglots' speak the languages that I can understand. They brag about their skills when they can barely speak a sentence. That's why I like your channel so much! I know enough Japanese and Chinese to see your skill and knowledge that seeing you converse in those languages helps me learn and see the mistakes I make.
    20
  3105. You two are cute together 😂
    20
  3106. Lol, I agree with you, the trolls are something else. Stay healthy and encouraged, many of us love what you do!
    20
  3107. I hope you continue to do more of these, they're really interesting! The only downside I guess is the videos aren't long enough like Xiaoma's videos where he speaks to people in their language lol. I would happily watch a 20+ minute video from you.
    20
  3108. I appreciate the take, but I do feel it is important to make a distinction between different reasons for learning languages. In teaching ESL, the preferred approach is a actually a communicative one. If you are a graduate student studying a language abroad, that is beautiful, but it is not comparable. I feel that is being glossed over a bit here. Learning to communicate basically in a language foreign to you is also beautiful. I worry when you say it takes fluency to be considered a "human being" by Japanese and Chinese speakers. I think it is great to hold yourself to a high standard, but I would hope that you would not consider someone speaking to you in English as a second language without the ability to ponder the existence of god as just a foreigner as opposed to a human being. I don't think you do, but the reverence for levels other than those you have personally attained is not present in the language used here. That being said, your dedication is commendable, and it is ok to acknowledge that you are better than most at something. Much respect.
    20
  3109. You truly are an inspiration! Haha you're kinda like my role model when it comes to learning Japanese. I can't give up if I want results 😊
    20
  3110. Happiness = Reality - Expectations Stay strong wherever you are!!!
    20
  3111. Anyone that thinks that doing YouTube isn't a real job, needs to watch a few of your videos and see the level of professionalism you put into your content and editing. The only thing that I dislike about the videos is that they're so short - I'm sure that myself and a lot of others would like them to be an hour long. Perhaps it's because they are edited as professionally as most real TV shows, that we expect them to be of a similar length. Anyway, good luck, and please don't make us wait too long for the next instalment.
    20
  3112. This video was so fun!!! Talking to kids can be brutal, but it's worth it because they're so adorable! Can't wait for the next video!
    20

  3114. What a fun and lovely taxi driver 😂❤
    20
  3115. No respect at all, being obese isn't healthy but no need to judge people like this.
    20
  3116. she is absolutely beautiful!!! I am just struck in awe every time she is on camera!
    20
  3117. Latin American hospitality is the most beautiful thing we have to share with the world. What an interesting town and people
    20
  3118. 6:47 that's literally how the saloon goes silent in movies when the baddest cowboy enters LMAOO you're a legend!
    20
  3119. So happy to get my morning dose of Anming before I head off to work at the hospital! I liked the way that you cut back and forth from Japan to America throughout! Stay safe and keep posting! ^_^
    20
  3120. Wooohooo, I can see that you reached 500K subscribers on your YouTube channel, Miss Alyssa, Stupendous effort.👏🏻😄 I am pretty sure that working in a Japanese office as a foreigner could be satisfying with an excellent opportunity to experience an international environment and pushing your abilities in new directions, even/despite English isn't the official language in Japan. 🏢
    20
  3121. I was actually curious to see if they would react differently when Yuki-san would talk to them in english since he does not look like a tourist but could very well be.
    20
  3122. i find it really cute, it makes foreigners to be not afraid of speak japanese.
    20
  3123. 好笑，好開心。You are the Friendly neighbourhood trilingual. Thanks for the content. There seems to be a consistent pattern in that there are a lot of North Easterners in Tokyo and greater Japan, maybe that's due to close geography ? I don't know. Anyways, keep up the good work. 謝謝！
    20
  3124. "Why do I live with Chinese people?...IN JAPAN"......IDK if its the way she said it..but that sentence cracks me up LOL
    20
  3125. I love your videos!! I don't know why more people don't subscribe to your channel and watch to the end of the videos. You're my favorite Youtuber!
    20
  3126. Yeah the rural towns and mountain towns are wonderful. My fav town outside of Tokyo is Nikko. It's not the smallest but very friendly people still.
    20
  3127. Loved all your stories, Thanks.
    20
  3128. the mashup we've been waiting for. such an interesting convo. thank you ladies!!! you guys make me want to learn chinese so bad lol
    20
  3129. Japan looks sooo nostalgic and gives me the lofi chill hip pop vibes. specially when it rains at night time in japan 😍😍😅😅
    20
  3130. Congradulations to all of you for knowing how to enjoy yourselves. Tommy's a honorary gunslinging fisherman now. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
    20
  3131. Early gang
    20
  3132. Being a Michigander and familiar with all the places you visited, this video made me happy. It’s great you were able to share Michigan with your husband. :)
    20
  3133. Yep, spending a few days memorizing enough linguistic chunks to have very basic conversations and make small purchases does not qualify as speaking a language. The worst is when these "polyglots" have zero sociocultural competence or understanding of the identity politics connected to the target language (or to the regions where the language is spoken) like one would if one really studied the language, and they walk around attempting to talk to people who are clearly not speakers of that language. Pure cringe.
    20
  3134. That was a beautiful moment!! It’s heartwarming to see videos like this when everything here (US) feels rather hectic right now. It’s so pure 🥰
    20
  3135. Even though she’s mixed she still looks half Japanese to me. I love her hair😍😍
    20
  3136. When a beutiful american girl from detroit walks pass speaking in chinese she immediately becomes the tourist's paparazzi Attraction lol😍📸😍📷😍📷😍📸
    20
  3137. You're so fun, Anming. I would think you'd stand out anywhere you go in Japan and China. There can't be that many blonde women who are fluently trilingual and make youtube videos there.
    20
  3138. Love your videos :) They bring me joy :)
    20
  3139. Their reactions are so funny lol, plan more like this, I am Chinese living in Japan and also planing to share something funny from here.
    20
  3140. I'm moving to Japan in less than 2 months (to Niigata to be exact, so really close to were you are in this video!) after studying it at university for 4 years, I really hope I will be able to talk to people like you do, you're a really big motivation for me! I also studied Chinese for 2 years now but I am even less confident with that...
    20
  3141. Anming's glitches in the matrix never fail to impress! With all the different languages and demographics of people she communicates with, it's always fun to see the friendly banter between them. 💜
    20
  3142. Oriental Pearl - You inspire me so much to learn korean! Thank you!! Also - Its REALLY cool to see one of my favorite youtubers who are also Catholic! :D
    20
  3143. She is the prettiest Japanese woman in Japan! I wish her the best luck and luck is a skill as well and she’s got skills! Even though all the oddities she deals with. She still loves the culture and country. That’s awesome. I wish her health wealth and happiness! And Ebisu, rid her of all trolls and give her good fortune.
    20
  3144. You'll definitely get to 1 million soon, Anming! Thank you for all your hard work on all of the videos.
    20
  3145. it’s my dream to go to shibuya on halloween one day
    20
  3146. I think the ear wax actually protects the ears just that someone itches the ears making someone feels relaxing
    20
  3147. Oriental Pearl 謝謝，我是一名高中生，我現在不能和您做視訊，但是我會支持您的頻道，我寫的中文您能看懂嗎
    20
  3148. Good luck on your Korean studies on this coming April, Miss Alyssa, love to see videos from there, and Happy Valentine's Day. 💖 On the contrary, instead of being shocked, Chinese foreigners from both New York and Yokohama Chinatown are surprised and impressed with your Chinese language speaking, which gives a feeling of a community. Come to think of it, I had only been to Chinatown with my BFF (elementary school classmate) during our graduation vacation in Singapore, Summer 2019. We felt like we were part of the community too, as we understand both culture and language.
    20
  3149. Yes, kids are both shy and bold at the same time when they meet people who are obviously different from those they regularly encounter. You being a blond stand out in countries where blonds are a rarity. This was a fun video. Cuteness on overload.
    20
  3150. I love to see the excitemvnt in people's faces when you speak to them in their mother tongues. It's so awesome how you're able to switch between Mandarin and Japanese.
    20
  3151. People barely answer me on discord or PUBG when I try to practice Japanese. Can't imagine what would happen irl 😬 Imagine an Indian boi comin up starting a conversation.
    20
  3152. 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.
    20
  3153. I never knew this place existed 😢it’s so heartbreaking to see the elderly here forgotten and left to fend for themselves. Thank you for sharing this ❤ I’m glad you didn’t go alone!
    20
  3154. Can confirm: Speaking the language is EVERY thing. I've been here 20 years and a lot of the complaints I see are, in my opinion, based on their lack of communication skills. It's not perfect by any means, but it's pretty darn good over here. Even if you can just learn the basics (Hello: konnichi wa; Thank you: Arigato gozaimasu, etc.), it will make your trip a lot better.
    20
  3155. Im obsessed with piano music i wouldve probably start dancing too, especially at the demon slayer part. 😂 Thx for sharing this moment :)
    20
  3156. it has a lot to do with attitude, i was born missing half an arm, tbh i hardly ever thought about it and neither (or precisely because of that) did any of my surroundings. i have the best friends, a wonderful wife, i teach at a great uni, i have my own tech company, i do all the things i want, and no one ever really noticed, including myself....
    20
  3157. Congratulations you deserve it!❤️ marriage makes life easier, it did for me! I wish you all the happiness for you two! 🙏🏻
    20
  3158. Finnish has always been my favorite language. coolest sounding language in the world by far and my opinion on that will never change
    20
  3159. I wanna learn this language so bad
    20
  3160. "I prefer the dark side of [YT] because the light side will never accept me." 💕... convinced me to follow.
    20
  3161. This in not a bad thing actually. Even here in Indonesia we will say that your "Bahasa is Good" to foreigners 🙂 To whom who learn language other countries please dont give up because you are genius 😊 (sorry for my English)
    20
  3162. Just moved back to Japan to head a department in Fujitsu and I was doing 6 hours a day of reading/writing practice from Nov 'til February. ✊🤕 Upside is I can finally read Murakami in its original version.
    20
  3163. Tommy needs a Hug 🥺
    20
  3164. ▓▒░  My prayer for her is pretty straightforward  and  simple: “O,   Lord Jesus, bless and protect her and   also   her  family   in Michigan, even if  they don't know You  personally. Please watch  over them. A-men.”   ░▒▓ `
    20
  3165. This was super wholesome and looked like a lot of fun. Loved it. Merry Christmas from Texas, y'all!
    20
  3166. Wow the anko looks super yummy! Definitely my style. Also loving the chill spring vibes in this video. Stay safe and happy spring 🙌💯🌸😷
    20
  3167. I’m a Chinese, so I understand what Japanese is talking about like baby car, open car. In Chinese, we say it in the same way, 婴儿车，童车，敞篷车…
    19
  3168. Loving how shock but they are enjoying being able to converse with you in their native language.
    19
  3169. 2:50 the girl in the red shirt is absolutely gorgeous
    19
  3170. With that Kill Bill music, I keep thinking you're going to pull out a samurai sword.
    19
  3171. Not only is Matt native sounding, which I've never heard from someone who hasn't grown up in Japan, but he's also cute.
    19
  3172. Thank you for the fun videos you do! I love Japan so much! I cant wait to go back there! I lived in Okinawa for four years! It was amazing! Also thank you for representing Americans so well!! Even though it might not seem like it, you being so nice and great leaves a super good lasting image of America :)
    19
  3173. Katie is gorgeous, holy hell. Also, whether it’s easier or harder to work in japan depends on the job. Some jobs demand much more from foreigners than Japanese. I agree that you’re better off to work in America or at a foreign company though, they’re right about that.
    19
  3174. You captivated those ladies more with your charm, natural humility and authenticity more than your language skills! That's what sets you apart from others doing videos like this. You take us along for your experiences which is very pleasant. When you get back to the states you really need to setup a "Meet Anming" event!
    19
  3175. Makes my heart sing when people are so friendly ... But it is you that brings it out in them...... Looking forward to your next video... Thanks
    19
  3176. This was so much fun! Thank you! I really enjoyed this. As always you are inspiring and show if I overcome my shyness I can make more friends. I immigrated to another country (that speaks the same language so with the exception of a few phrases and some slang it really is the same) but I have become more introverted than when I was in my country. I am working on trying to overcome this. Thank you!
    19
  3177. I felt the young woman really wanted to let herself go!
    19
  3178. Very interesting topic.There might have been some copyright issues or loss of interest as people can travel again. Anyhow, the street seemed to be amazing when it was opened.
    19
  3179. I don't know how to tell my mom I'm in love with a random girl just casually breakdancing while wearing kimono on the internet
    19
  3180. This video is honestly curing my loneliness and depression lol I jst want to marry a nice Japanese girl
    19
  3181. I watched this with my one year old son. We love it. Greetings from South Texas! 💚
    19
  3182. I live in a small tourist village here on the coast of Oregon, and a few years ago a Japanese woman with a tiny daughter holding her hand passed me as I was entering our only store. Im 6'4" and the little girl came up to my knee. As we passed, she stopped looking at my knee, tugging at her mom to stop as well. The mother became embarassed but I quickly motioned "No no no Its Ok" . This adorable little girl started looking up and up and up until she was looking at my face. She broke into a smile that could melt all the ice on earth as if to say " Oh it IS a person". I carry that smile with me to this day. Children can be our greatest teachers.
    19
  3183. Oof. Anming, I have a degree in Video Production and I find the quality of your videos impressive for someone who is not from that background. It's better than a lot of student-shot content I saw while in school. I don't think you need to pay those critics any heed. It's a content-focused channel in a sea of trendy samey-looking slow-mo/speed-up drone and rail shots. I prefer your engaging the audience more to watching flashy images. You can see those on all of Youtube for any topic from the people who are more aesthetically driven. Everyone doesn't have to conform to the style. Besides, there are bigger channels than yours who literally just sit in front of a webcam and talk, and I don't see people complaining about their production values (though I'm sure they're out there). Keep on keepin' on!
    19
  3184. I love seeing Tommy’s English get better and better each vlog 🤗
    19
  3185. I love her reaction! Someday I'll do the same. Currently I'm fluent enough in english, next stop french and after that japanese, korean and chinese. #wishfulthinking
    19
  3186. Very underrated channel. You have skills and will blow up. Just keep up the videos. Aririgato gozaimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas. :)
    19
  3187. This was a really cool watch. I’ve never been to Detroit and I’m from California and I honestly had a similar view of what it was like as Tommy did. I’ve been to other places in Michigan that were very different but I liked learning about a part of my own country I’ve never been to. And Tommy’s culture shock was a cool thing to witness
    19
  3188. As an American living in Idaho in the United States I have always had the utmost respect for the Japanese and their culture, their respect for their surroundings and their industrious and perfecting nature of wanting to make things that are good, and perfecting them or at least making them better! With respect to the culture that those products came from, big respect and all the best to the Japanese people you are always welcome in my country!
    19
  3189. I love watching you interact with people, and the people you chat with are so welcoming and at ease with you, it is so uplifting to see everyone enjoy your company and it renews my faith in mankind, keep doing what you do Oriental Pearl, looking forward to your next video ❤
    19
  3190. Pearl, go to those video game stores selling Nintendo old skool handhelds! Especially Game & Watch
    19
  3191. Happy Halloween 🎃 🎃👻👻 Everyone had great costumes! Fun video!!
    19
  3192. In all of my 42 years and my travels, living in three different continents, i must tell you how impressive your language acquisition is and your ability to engage with strangers. You break all the negative stereotypes of the ugly American. You represent us so well! Finally a female who aces it!
    19
  3193. You're respecting and honoring the Japanese culture by becoming fully immersed in it. It's now a part of who you are. Good for you👍
    19
  3194. 日本語上手ですね/Your Japanese is so good🤣 Biggest Cap phrase in Japan. 🤣
    19
  3195. You know, I chose to do arts in a top university in Ireland to do Chinese and Spanish, and it looks like I will get in. Most people would probably laugh at me for just studying languages in a university but honestly I'm happy with my choice and I'm sure if I work hard I'll will get to do a lot from just knowing languages, even when I don't even want to do teaching/translating.
    19
  3196. 9:40 -- Wow, you are so beautiful. (*insert sound of glass breaking and fade away*)
    19
  3197. At 6:24 that was so cute omg
    19
  3198. Lisa san is a great inspiration and has a colourful personality. I would love to see more collabs with her, this was fun! 😁
    19
  3199. I love your videos, they are so cool and I love seeing them!
    19
  3200. Your videos are always so well done. The music, the directing of editing, everything. Very engaging!
    19
  3201. I've actually clicked "Do not recommend this channel" on many wanna be polyglots. A fake Doctor is a quack. Is there a term for this? If not we should make up one. Many people and people groups reach a plateau then stop improving.
    19
  3202. Hi Anming! Glad to see you ❤️
    19
  3203. Wtf? Seriously there are that many toxic people out there trying to bring others down? Well I I already knew this and jealousy stinks. Keep doing your thing small people shall remain as such. Peace out!
    19
  3204. It's horrible that you're facing trolling. It's ridiculous because your channel is just heartwarming and talking about language and culture. Keep up with the fantastic videos-fan from India
    19
  3205. That was brave well done Pearl . I knew there was a touch of extrovert about you, but you went quite a bit further with that crazy jump.
    19
  3206. It doesn't matter how many times I have seen your videos. I am surprised at the ease you have to express yourself in both languages Chinese and Japanese.
    19
  3207. they seem thrilled to have you in their lives!!! 💕
    19
  3208. It's really cute how they're all just playing Beyblade on the street. They're so friendly and welcoming.
    19
  3209. I always enjoy watching you interact with the locals and seeing their surprise at how well you converse. Please continue with these kinds of videos. Thank you. 😀
    19
  3210. I’m half Japanese so my mom took me to Japan on summer vacation, and I was able to get into an elementary school in Tokyo for about a week. It was super fun, but they all got a kick outta me being able to speak Japanese fluently lmao. They asked me to say Saturday in English and when I did, a lot of the girls in my class started squealing- 💀😭 I had fun though, the classes were awesome. Totally different from the curriculum in NY 🗿
    19
  3211. YASSSS! The Queen of YT is Back
    19
  3212. There's a great Mr. Bean episode that tackles this very dilemma.
    19
  3213. Never clicked so fast in my life
    19
  3214. I think it’s still surprising for westerners to be fluent in Asian languages, but have been living in East Asia for awhile too and it’s not uncommon that people are fluent in 2-3 Asian languages plus English...just took these immigrants in Japan, became fluent in Japanese and English because of the business purposes, that’s very admirable.
    19
  3215. I'm glad that you brought up non-western youtubers making the exact same type of videos. Being able to speak multiple languages is such a beautiful thing. I would absolutely love to have the ability to connect with people in their own language, because I am so interested in other people and other cultures. There will always be people who look down on this type of content, but they have no place to dictate your actions. Keep up the great work.
    19
  3216. I am a Japanese living in Yokohama. I've lived in this area for about 30 years. Now it's a quiet town with only elderly people, but in the past it was a more dangerous area than it is now, and I've put myself in danger a few times... 私は横浜在住の日本人です。 この付近に三十数年前、暮らしていました。 今は高齢者ばかりの静かな町ですが、昔は今よりも危険な地域で、私自身も身の危険にさらされることが何回かありました・・・。
    19
  3217. The only thing I'm scared of in Japan 😂
    19
  3218. These kinda guys make women feel so freaking uncomfortable. Ugh so gross. He needs to grow up and get a life....”not the first time I got maced” that’s not something to be proud of.
    19
  3219. Great video! You've inspired me to start studying Spanish and Japanese again!
    19
  3220. Your languages skills are amazing 🎉❤
    19
  3221. It just looks so calm and peaceful there! I hope you and everyone are safe!
    19
  3222. I'm a Japanese started English but have to smile at this Video. Japanese speak Chinese, Chinese speak Japanese in the same way. And American speaks Chinese and Japanese. My head started to get confused, but the world want to be like this. Everyone smiles when spoken in their home language. A smile carries happiness. Humans are nice! Highly recommended !!
    19
  3223. USA-born Japanese here - not sure if this comment will reach you, but just wanted to congratulate you both on this very joyful occasion!! & thank you so, so much for the content you create and put out there. I have been following your videos for some time now and you've inspired me to finally take that step towards moving to Japan. I was putting off moving to Japan for many reasons throughout my life (possible culture&language barriers especially in the workplace, life eventually taking me to Europe instead, pandemic etc) but after my dad recently passing away I think it is time for me to just go for it. Hopefully one day I will be able to find someone as wonderful as your Tommy and work towards those life milestones as well. Wishing you both all the best :)
    19
  3224. Omg - I cannot believe the Japan is hiding the homelessness and poverty! You are a true angel to the world!!! I hope the Japanese authorities and government do not look towards you… no one EVER hears about homelessness and poverty in Japan! Wow, you are perfection xx
    19
  3225. I love to communicate with people from all over the world. Amazing how many people you are able to talk to with East Asian languages.
    19
  3226. if i speak to someone, im afraid their eyes might drill a hole into me
    19
  3227. I have too admit Alyssa..You made me cry how you try to help where and when you can. You are AWESOME and have my TOTAL respect. Thank you for being the loving heart you are.
    19
  3228. You have a very positive and joyous outlook on life and that is what causes miserable people to do that. Ignore it... move on... keep posting! We enjoy your vids. : )
    19
  3229. I think he said (4:03) ``昭和``（Shouwa） 25 年, which is =1950, is when he started working for this, so he's been doing it for about 70 years.
    19
  3230. As I started getting better at Japanese, I’ve been able to spot a lot more fakes within the polyglot community. Also, I’m a native Spanish speaker so ESPECIALLY regarding that. It’s kind of sad how people will stoop that low just to make income. I mean if you’re genuinely making an effort to learn the language, props to you. However, doing it for the sake of income and attention is straight pretentious. On a side note, I’m still trying to get past the “日本語が上手です” phase 😂💀
    19
  3231. Congratulations ☺️🎉!!! I would love to see more about your personal lives 😄! But only if you want to share it with us 😉☺️.
    19
  3232. I always see how people's hearts open up once you talk in their native language. How they become so much nicer and calmer and happy to speak with you once you're talking in their vernacular. I now teach my kids (they're 10 and 6) Italian and English (we speak Hebrew at home). I know Hebrew, Arabic, English and Italian. and a tiny bit of Spanish. I started learning French. I hope to know as many languages I will be able to. I love languages so much. They bring people together.
    19
  3233. They say that when you speak to someone in their language, you speak to their heart. I think that's what you see when someone remembers you a year later after just one conversation. You're so memorable- the pretty blonde girl who spoke their language so well- that it has to be a wonderfully positive thing to recall for many years. Just my little bits of pidgin Mandarin made me memorable enough that months after visiting Shihlin night market, on my return visit people remembered me enough to pull me into booths to show me off to their friends. And I'm a big hairy dude, way less striking than you. You're making cool content for us, but you're also making lots of cool memories for the people you talk to. Just such a great channel. Cheers.
    19
  3234. Advice taken... Make a video titled: “Polyglot of Polyglots” and proceed to say: “Hi” and “Bye” perfectly in every language.
    19
  3235. Any foreigner: could speak 3 sentences Native speakers: YOUR language IS BETTER THAN MINE
    19
  3236. I really love how you're going into all parts of the culture rather than what is trending. Just watching the rickshaw go through the buildings was so amazing to me. I'd love to draw some of those views in all honesty.
    19
  3237. Back to the beginning of the formal together. Your Mom was finally able to gain access to Japan and a striking remarriage takes place. Your Kimono's were well chosen and colorful. Laughs were had, and now both sets of in-laws will meet. Since both sets of parents have embraced their offsprings choice, I suspect the meeting to go very well. Thanks for taking us along as you share your life.
    19
  3238. She has an awesome mindset and she's funny as well, haha. Definitely subscribing to her! Great video once again! <3
    19
  3239. It's amazing how positively everyone reacts to you. The ability and desire to communicate and make a connection with other cultures gives me hope for the future of humanity. Thanks!
    19
  3240. It really puts into perspective what so many of us take for granted, and how much character and inner strength those with disabilities display to live life on their own terms. Definitely one of your most inspiring videos 🙂
    19
  3241. After this video right away i started learning Japanese
    19
  3242. I like this vid. Good insight.
    19
  3243. Dear Anming, You are back, and wow! You make it look like entertain ment, but it is a story of truth, of observation and a demonstration what communication with the world around you can do for you. How artistic and aesthetic you demonstrate to us what communication can do. An eye opener that one should communicate more. It is a masterpiece, it communicates straight into the heart that one should learn and be able to do what you do. That production tops the top of your videos. Thank you for being there.
    19
  3244. I was really thinking hard about visiting Japan but I am an overweight female and I can’t even imagine what it would be like for me to go. I love Japan so much but I wouldn’t want them to hate me. That would crush me
    19
  3245. Laoshu: If you're watching, this is how it's done.
    19
  3246. I felt this. Back in 2007 I was at the Osaka aquarium and there was some sort of primary school field trip there too. It was a herd of kids in colored galoshes and hats. What was hilarious was at one point I was next to an exhibit and the kids were staring at me rather than the fish.
    19
  3247. My partner and I have been together for 4 years we met on a dating app actually. He's Japanese and I'm an American hapa. He's been the most amazing a supportive partner and an even more amazing step father to my son. Hopefully next year travel will be more open and we can go visit family in Japan together.
    19
  3248. 😃in Michigan if so I'll be moving to northern Indiana soon we need to meet and do something fun
    19
  3249. I hope your boyfriend takes care of you,as I felt u was struggling with camera and holding the umbrella for him as well. You deserve the best 🖤💜
    19
  3250. Anming is the only person who can cosplay, be a weeb and speak fluent Japanese all at the same time.
    19
  3251. 1:49 '"although admittedly it's much more common in China' no shit the Chinese would be surprised if a random white girl start speakling Japanese
    19
  3252. Poor doesn't make a person bad, it is just that they don't have much money or have gone through something that set them back. I'm glad this nice gentleman welcomed you into his home. So sad to see this side of Japan. Homelessness is on the rise everywhere. I live in California and I see it every day in just about every city and town. There are homeless encampments along the freeways, behind shopping centers, by the river, at most public city parks. They walk around the city pulling or pushing their carts filled with misc mounds of "stuff" and sometimes pets too. People live in their cars, or run down older model camper RV's parked in the industrial areas or behind shopping strips throughout every city everywhere. Something must be done, it's just getting worse every single day
    19
  3253. I genuinely love your content. Keep it up🙏🏾
    19
  3254. As a middle-aged nondescript, average height, dark-haired white guy, I got twice as much staring in downtown Shanghai than rural (Takahashi) Japan. Blondes have more ... fun?
    19
  3255. I love these kinds of videos, the reactions of speaking in thier native language are always great and fun.
    19
  3256. That piano had it's ivories tickled and we enjoyed the sweet music as a result. Happiness all around!
    19
  3257. I'm always here early to give a like to your video before watching it 😅
    18
  3258. It's "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" until someone says "Cultural appropriation"
    18
  3259. Amazing story and congratulations. This made me smile as maybe I could be in a similar experience . I've met someone special from hellotalk and we video talk for hours upon hours for the last two years and still have conversation and smiles. Wish the pandemic didn't restrict me seeing her but I know we will meet soon in japan
    18
  3260. I'm going to geek out here. Bottled coke vs coke in a can Some bottled coke contains cane sugar  (Mexican coke) Canned coke contains high-fructose corn syrup I researched this before because I noticed the difference and wondered why. I prefer coke from sugar cane

  3261. Thank you for highlighting this and helping improve their lives. It’s so important to help others when your own life is good.
    18
  3262. "I'm not considered to be that pretty in my country" I think you're absolutely stunning!
    18
  3263. 2:03 LOL you killed me there xD Welp, all these mangas I read where they mention natto did not make me want to try it and your reaction just reinforced this feeling 😂 But curiosity will surely get me some day lol
    18
  3264. Keep glitching the matrix, Anming. You are doing GREAT! You always put a smile on my face.
    18
  3265. 09:26 - She: That's why my life is a little bit strange. Me: 30-year-old, never been abroad, monolingual, struggling to learn English. I gotta do something, I want that strangeness of your life, haha.
    18
  3266. We don’t blame you, the taste of foreign food takes time to acquire. When I was learning Japanese many years ago, our Japanese teacher brought in natto for us to try, expecting us to freak out, all my classmates hated it except me, who voiced out that it was nice, my classmates rolled their eyes and felt angry with the fact that I didn’t think like them. Since then, I always have natto in my fridge, it tastes almost like Chinese fermented soybeans that I love.
    18
  3267. Very nice! Two beautiful women with good, friendly chemistry between you two. You should team up and do a channel together.
    18
  3268. The only useful thing he said was when he spoke about Japanese grammar in Finnish :D But yeah... we don't ask for people's names because we don't really use them. It was shocking for me when I lived in the UK and people would keep saying my name, it felt like getting scolded by my mum. This was a fun video! And thank you for that little Chinese listening comprehension in the middle~
    18
  3269. You guys seem so cool!
    18
  3270. ❤️ you’re awesome! Please rest as soon as you’re off 😭❤️
    18
  3271. That dance in the beginning though! When you're getting it so hard even your hair can't hold it together anymore. xDDD
    18
  3272. I love how everyone is amazed by your japanese :) You are really inspiration for me
    18
  3273. That packaging is beyond excessive – it's utterly eco-blind. Where do people think all the plastic will end up? In Montreal where I live, it's possible to buy most of your staple foods out of bins, and you can take it home in your own reusable bags. Tell me Pearl (may I call you Pearl? :^), do they have such thing as bulk food stores in Japan? And is there any consciousness of the environment, and climate change? Any green businesses? Recycling?
    18
  3274. Thank you for “going there” Please be careful, the Japanese people/government are such a proud country.. I know, I’m Japanese American, so are my parents but my father attended college in Japan staying with his father. You’re doing such good works for the people less fortunate but I worry for you, not from the homeless but the government. Take care Sue
    18
  3275. Him: What do you like about japan? Anime? Me: anime and the whole country 😁👍. Including food, clothes, etc.
    18
  3276. This was soooo fun. Only wish I could be there with You. I Love Tokyo and the people !!❣️
    18
  3277. Is it just me, or do you sometimes have a slight Chinese accent when you speak English? :D
    18
  3278. I found your channel because I am learning Thai and the algorithm put you in my feed. I continue to watch your channel because you are genuinely such a nice person. You are so caring and open to others it's so refreshing. Its nice to see someone so good and not negative. Keep up the great work
    18
  3279. Japanese people: gaijin hunters Anming: Nihonjin hunter!
    18
  3280. You are such an inspiration, and you're literally bringing cultures together. Well done!
    18
  3281. Yea the GOAT Anming aka Princess Anming is back with another masterpiece
    18
  3282. ha ha ha , good and honest advise.
    18
  3283. Great interview. Good to learn about other parts of Japanese culture, Lisa's band has a great sound, very 80s.
    18
  3284. You’ve always had such a knack and talent for creating good and interesting content, Anming. Thank you for this one.
    18
  3285. The human connections you make are so wonderful and unique Anming. I hope you channel continues to grow and inspire others like it does me.
    18
  3286. Youtube started the reviews on your channel (that is a good sign). Asker me twice what I think about your videos :)
    18
  3287. The LAST thing you are is nerdy! 🙂👍
    18
  3288. I heard women still get treated poorly there. Have you seen any of that?
    18
  3289. 6:10 the guys behind her are waving 😂
    18
  3290. 04:37 Just seeing that woman's reaction, made watching this worthwhile.... That was brilliant.
    18
  3291. Tommy’s parents are so cool ❤❤❤❤
    18
  3292. This is the same way with the Polish. Complaining is polite, otherwise it's considered bragging and is rude. Whenever I asked my Polish grandma if she was having a bad day she would always complain about something. I thought she was just always very unhappy but when I met other Polish decedents and immigrants I learned it's the polite thing to do.
    18
  3293. i love seeing peoples reaction to the unexpected connection when you speak their language. Loved the vid!
    18
  3294. just terrific. You connect with people instantly in a shockingly pleasant way that is just so appealing to everyone. Your exchanges with them are just so sweet I just love it.
    18
  3295. I've been doing the "n, n, n, n" sounds since I was like 15 because of watching too much anime as a kid, and Americans were really weirded out by it, but it's stuck in the way I talk. I live in Korea now and I still make that sound at work and I probably shouldn't, because it translates as pretty informal here.
    18
  3296. This is really informative. I like her take on life as a mixed ethnicity in Japan or Ghana.
    18
  3297. You're doing great work! 🙂
    18
  3298. I was cheering for Emi every time 😂
    18
  3299. Really great video! It’s nice to see everyone actually wearing a mask! I guess that’s why Japan has a handle on the virus! Wish all Americans could see this! Be well!
    18
  3300. You get looks from them and views from us because you are skilled! I hope you find ways to battle discouragement; we have all been there at some time and it can be difficult to climb out. I'm slowly learning Japanese and have a dream of living in Japan some day. While my job situation would allow it, the thought alone seems a bit daunting when I have three kids...and two cats haha. Thank you for your videos!
    18
  3301. Nothing to see here peeps..just a badass foreigner 💪 who became a legend archerer 💯
    18
  3302. If you get no reaction and just have friendly conversation = fluent .
    18
  3303. Well, what can one say about TkyoSam Santa, and Oriental Pearl as Santa's Elf, performing a Christmas miracle on the Streets of Tokyo, but Sugoi. I mean you even got a big smile from the Keikan. The collaborations between you two always shows that you are both shrinking violets, when out and about in Tokyo. As always I enjoyed the reactions, when you interact in Japanese and Mandarin. Although this whole video had me smiling, I really enjoyed when you asked "Are you Russian?" to the Ukrainians. Instead of it being you, who is asked this question. Your content is finally getting the recognition it has always deserved, and it's meteoric rise just shows that putting in the effort to create quality videos will gain your content a wider audience. At this rate half a million subscribers will occur by the end January. This wider viewership will allow you to continue to demonstrate the benefits, while providing straight talk, about learning a foreign language. Educating, and inspiring those who are interested in becoming functional in Mandarin, Japanese, and soon in Korean, that you are now learning. This video was truly a Christmas present for your viewers both long term subscribers or new viewers, soon to be subscribers. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your fiancée, and many collaborators.
    18
  3304. Aww I really love that you reunited with that woman 😊 Also I'm a chocoholic so that Eevee cake sounds perfect omg
    18
  3305. I love Japan! But I´m so shy and introvert that I´m dying a little thinking of being so social as you are in your videos. I can't even go up to some strangers in my own country and start a conversation.. But I have started learning a little Japanese, and I hope I can visit some day! To see Babymetal live in Tokyo would be a dream come true!
    18
  3306. I love the different languages and cultures. I only speak 2 languages right now I would definitely love to learn more. I like the joy on peoples faces when you can communicate with them. They have a look of appreciation.
    18
  3307. You have inspired me to keep learning Japanese and Mandarin. Thanks! When I watch your VDOs, I can review three languages at the same time,
    18
  3308. She is a Bad Ass. A Strong Woman like her always makes weak people insecure. Dont feed the Trollz.
    18
  3309. Once I get my Japanese where I want it, I'd love to learn Mandarin next. Thanks for the video! Edit: Ikebukuro looks so different now! And that crepe is so nostalgic. I really hope I can move back to Japan this fall.
    18
  3310. I love the way you do these videos. They’re so wholesome and it really shows the cultural and social benefits of traveling and learning other languages. I wont be able to afford to leave my country any time soon, so i get to live vicariously through you a little bit lol
    18
  3311. Another fantastic video! It’s always so inspiring seeing you transition between these two languages that to me are so foreign and seem very difficult to master. Also I love your business card! It’s so cute 😃
    18
  3312. I'm Japanese, living in the US for over 10 years (mostly in the south), this is somehow relatable. And also I wish I will get to spend the last few years of my life in the countryside of Shikoku island. Not sure why (I've lived in Shikoku for a while, that's probably why).
    18
  3313. As you know, we Japanese are so bad at English in general, thus we praise people who are fluent in English. The fluent means one can speak more than “How are you? I’m fine, thank you. And you?” with a foreigner. For example, if one give directions to foreign tourists in English, definitely he or she will be a hero. “Your English is good” often happens among Japanese people. Just like that, we praise foreigners who can speak some Japanese. Like some guys said in the video, if your Japanese is really good, we will ask you how long you have lived in Japan or how long you have studied Japanese.
    18
  3314. This was a lo of fun. I'm also multi-lingual so I've overheard people speaking about me sometimes and it always startles them when you answer back.
    18
  3315. I’m loving these interviews!
    18
  3316. this is probably one of the best ways i've seen people become friends. Also Sayaka seems like the coolest person ever!
    18
  3317. I find it hilarious honestly how you're like "Halloween, it's so crowded!" because that was NOTHING. Thanks to covid no where near as many were out this year nor did as many dress up. My first time to Japan was in 2015, I went to Tokyo and arrived on All Hallows Eve, and was so excited for Halloween the next night. I wore Mickey Mouse PJs as my costume as my luggage was stuck in Russia until that night, and went to Harajuku (Takeshita Street first) and then to Shibuya at the crossings. Everywhere you went was a sea of people in costumes and was so jam packed full of people it was like being in a crowd at a concert lol. You're lucky it was actually so thinned out this year cause if you don't like crowds those are not the places to be on Halloween. XD But it looked like just as much fun as when I went, I cannot wait to get back. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love that everyone seems to go all out with it there unlike where I'm living. even stores gave out stuff for 'trick-or'treat'! Japan really is a special place lol.
    18
  3318. I like listening to her talking to herself. It's weird.
    18
  3319. This was the most wholesome video I've seen!!
    18
  3320. You’re doing a great work, this is so touching.
    18
  3321. Nicely put together video as usual 💯 As someone who works with the homeless regularly I find this especially an interesting topic. Keep up the good work 💯
    18
  3322. 2:00 This is what you do when you wanna talking with strangers. Pretending to buy something. 😉
    18
  3323. It's awsome that you let us take a look at not so nice and touristy places in Japan. Being the biggest slum in Japan, I expected it to look much worse Great to see that not only were able to walk alone through Nishinari, but also nbe friendly welcomed by some of the of the people who actually live there.
    18
  3324. You are actually really pretty, people are just insecure within themselves projecting on you. You have a a talent with languages too- makes you seem threatening and very smart in a good way. People cant handle pretty and smart together. Keep doing you! Dont give up
    18
  3325. Everyone you met were kind hearted souls. They stay happy even with hard circumstance. I just wish the government would do more to help!
    18
  3326. According to my experience city people are nice and like foreigns ... but village people don’t want foreign come to there land and live there 😅
    18
  3327. it doesnt matter your family could not be there, what more important is making sure you two now have a wonderful life together and and live a life of love
    18
  3328. Hello from the Detroit area! Things are getting bad here! Stay safe! Love your videos.
    18
  3329. great video.. this year was insane I’m glad we went to Shinjuku for a change!
    18
  3330. I enjoy the mix, both are super interesting
    18
  3331. It's not strange, pharmacy is usually inside a store or standalone one.
    18
  3332. Another delightful and captivating episode. Your respect and warmth in chatting with more "senior" people is wonderful to behold. As always 👏🏽 🤗
    18
  3333. I'm learning Japanese for a little over a year now and was totally able to follow the conversations. I just wish to be as fast and quippy with the responses one day, hehe. I'm very encouraged to keep going.
    18
  3334. Holy cow!! This is the coolest video ever💜 I really love your friend Katie's vision to combine cultures with dance. Absolute chills!🤗 Thank you for bringing this to light on your channel 💓 Another lovely video🌸
    18
  3335. It is so happy to see that the Japanese locals in agricultural areas are friendly to foreigners, Miss Anming.💖
    18
  3336. You are my american passion 🇺🇸😍❤
    18
  3337. I’m sooo early commenting on your video hope you have a great day.
    18
  3338. Plus, I feel cringed when everyone starts staring at you.... Lol
    18
  3339. I'm Brazilian, I've been speaking english since I was 15 and I'm still learning a lot, I'm studying spanish too and every time I have contact with the language I learn a lot. I don't know how someone can just consider themselves fluent so fast. For me as an English teacher for Brazilians and as a speaker of 2 languages I think fluency is only achieved once you can have any conversation about anything, understand and be understood. This takes years or maybe a lifetime...
    17
  3340. ▓▒░ I can understand like one out of twenty words in Mandarin; and one out of about thirty-five words in Japanese.   And that's about it. I've never really studied these languages in depth. But then again, I've never been to China or Japan, before. `   I've never been into the U.S.A. either. Speaking of the U.S.A... ...when I first got on the internet at the end of 1999, I was shocked to discover just how many Americans couldn't spell basic English words. At first, I figured they were lying about being from the U.S.A.  ` But months later in Yahoo Chat, I realized that many who are born and raised in U.S.A. are really that poor in English. Example: - there / they're / their. It's kinda sad, really. If that's the one and only language you know; and after thirty years, you still cannot get it right . . .  well. ` Today is Sunday, the twenty-fourth day of the year two thousand and twenty-one. ░▒▓ `
    17
  3341. Had a childhood friend who's parents used to badmouth me in Cantonese. i always had the suspicion but eventually my came out and outright said this was the case. Not upset to be honest but it felt relieving to find out I was right, their mom did hate my guts for ridiculous reasons. Eventually it got to the point where even my friend just laughed it off because nothing they could do about how irrational their mom was becoming whenever i was the subject of conversation. Don't get me wrong I've had friends parents who speak other languages I never felt that way about... except one whose parents spoke sign language. Took me many years to find out that in ASL, facial expressions are used to indicate tone. I always thought she was angry at me, but mostly she was trying to be stern to my friend who always liked getting into trouble.
    17
  3342. You definitely look like Steffi Graf.
    17
  3343. Now this is something I need to learn😂
    17
  3344. Instantly clicked after notification!
    17
  3345. Once my neighbour and I were on an hour-long train and we were chatting in English, and two young ladies sat across from us and started talking about us. Nothing bad. Just curious about where we are from etc. After like 3 minutes, they wondered where we got our ice creams. My neighbour was like "Baskin Robbins had a special" and they turned like 59 shades of red. The best part is that they were just stuck there in seats facing us.
    17
  3346. Aside from the obvious things like your good nature and friendliness, the thing that makes these videos really outstanding is the top notch editing. Your slightly sarcastic humor and humble/polite manners while also being confident are a rarity these days. Great work! Best wishes and good luck!
    17
  3347. Do not take it badly when you get that reaction. I take it as a huge compliment when people say my English is so good. My mother tongue is Spanish but I went to a full-time English private school. I was able to learn English like an English native speaker. Actually one time on a layover in the U.S. a CBP officer was incredibly intrigued by my lack of "Spanish accent". He thought I was illegally living in the U.S. and completely breaching my tourist visa. Asking a LOT of questions and being incredibly suspicious. Then I told him how I learned English, we both had a good laugh and he said "good job" while stamping my passport and letting me do my layover :)
    17
  3348. There is this Dutchman on YouTube living in Amsterdam, I think. As I have first seen his channel I thought he had a nice content bcs he could speak all these different languages, right? And then, as I continued to watch his other videos, he kept saying the same stuff all the time, like, “I can communicate in Spanish freely, you can understand me, right?”, and so on. I’ve started to doubt his language skills, and then I’ve heard him speak Polish, which I am a native speaker of, and didn’t understand a thing. It sounded more like Russian or Ukrainian to me, than Polish. He also talked in German in this video, which I know fair amount of to consider myself fluent, and It just didn’t sound good. It was for sure better than Polish but wasn’t great either. I think now that he’s just learning those introductions, or kind of “standard” phrases to appear smart. Idk 🤷‍♂️
    17
  3349. It's great to see you receive such positive reactions in Japan. My 100% Japanese appearance but not quite fluent Meiji-era influenced Nihongo caused only confused stares. "Hmmm, not a gaijin. Maybe he's from some ultra-remote, old fashioned island." It would've made for interesting YouTubing. But that was 50 years ago. I need to update & prepare with Pimsleur before I ever go back. 😀 Thanks for the recommendation!
    17
  3350. It's so much fun to watch your videos as they ( people) can't believe what just happened 😄
    17
  3351. 日本語上手いっすね！ 僕も中国語と英語を話せるようにがんばります〜
    17
  3352. Good gosh, now that's a Halloween celebration. I definitely want to go to Shibuya for Halloween now. Amongst other reasons to visit Japan.
    17
  3353. I just realized that you have a long arm 😁
    17
  3354. To speak so many languages fluently is truly amazing….I think maybe if we could speak different languages as a whole, the world might be a better place….
    17
  3355. You live the experience abroad 100%. It is amazing and very inspiring !
    17
  3356. When I travelled to Japan many years ago a young Japanese lady was sitting besides me in the plane. She told me that I must be able to use chopsticks in Japan. So she just exchanged the food: She took my western food, gave me her Japanese food and taught me how to use the chopsticks. When we arrived in Japan after this long distance flight, I had my lesson learned - thanks to this lady!
    17
  3357. You looked absolutely stunning and I am so beyond happy for you both! I’m so sorry your family couldn’t attend. I understand how hard these border closures have been. Lots of love and wishes of happiness to you and Tomi! 💖💖💖
    17
  3358. I’ve been learning Japanese this past year, and you’ve inspired me to add Chinese to my studies! I’m also American x3 I’m from Texas. Tysm for your content. This has been my dream, to travel and communicate with those in a culture so incredibly different from my own. To share culture x) thank you, again
    17
  3359. :) .. ended with you wearing that pretty dress
    17
  3360. Yay a new Video~! Glad you're Doing okay and spending time with someone special! Thank you for showing us japan! ^^
    17
  3361. It was so sweet seeing both families take effort to learn something in the other language ❤

    17
  3364. Nice seeing more half Japanese people! plus her hair is so nice! I love it.
    17
  3365. Greetings from Ecuador, South America. Thanks for this series 🙏❤️ Let's spread love and kindness everywhere.
    17
  3366. She wasn't sure what to do when Santa was getting so much attention!! Lol.... So good to see Santa & his elf spreading joy and peace in the Land of the Rising Sun. Hope he comes again next year and does it on an even bigger scale!! He represents so much.
    17
  3367. Sounds not a concern for me since I'm deaf anyway 😂
    17
  3368. You're adorable and spontaneous. Be safe out there
    17
  3369. Pets are fun to have but a lot of responsibility. Much love towards you oriental pearl muah.❤💋
    17
  3370. Hi Anming, That’s an excellent piece of work on Sanya! I lived and worked in Tokyo for 2 years in the early 80s and have never heard of it until now. It’s shocking to see the homeless area and to learn the welfare system does exist in Japan. I hope the government has reasonable plan to manage the aging population. Thanks for sharing ❤.
    17
  3371. I'm not a major fan of the decora style but their personalities are super sweet, they seem soooo nice
    17
  3372. Yay!! Robin San!! Been watching for this episode
    17
  3373. I am Brazilian, and your videos help me a lot to learn Japanese and English. Thank you so much.
    17
  3374. I appreciate showing the dual reaction from the same person, interacting with both English and Japanese. I've seen videos before where they showed different people with each language and you don't really get a feel for the actual contrast from the individual's reactions. Having visited Japan last year for a few weeks before things got crazy... Even just having a limited vocabulary or some general phrases and politeness can smooth over so, so many interactions and get such a warmer experience with a broader group of locals. I saw first-hand how even that simple "osusume desu ka?" (What is [your] recommendation?) can get you leagues further than crudely pointing or JUST speaking English like it's assumed they can help you. The old "kore wa, nandesu ka?" (What is this?) and some vague gesturing can also at least get you started when browsing or sparking interest/seeking help. The locals aren't being rude or necessarily against foreigners---often the opposite. They avoid the confrontation because they aren't comfortable speaking in English and would rather not 'deal' with you than to be rude or misunderstanding with little to no English fluency. A few phrases, a lot of courtesy and maybe a Google Translate or two to help with specific topics shows a conscious effort to interact, and people do tend to show more respect for that. :)
    17
  3375. It's been forever since I had a crepe. I might have to go out and eat one sometime
    17
  3376. I learn a lot of incredible information from their life experiences. It makes me view things differently and empathize with their everyday struggles. I think if Japanese people were exposed to more of these stories in the media perhaps that would help change the sentiment and how they behave towards them 💜
    17
  3377. when you learn a language, learn it properly, when i was a kid, i do my calculation and speak out the number loud in cantonese, 1.4, 2.4, 3.5, 4.8 ... then somebody asked me if im cursing them, cause they only know the number 4.
    17
  3378. Pretty cool technology can still help us earn money these days quite easily.
    17
  3379. 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.
    17
  3380. These videos need more views, they're the most important videos on your channel. Nomad Push is always a welcome sight ☺
    17
  3381. After watching 100+ hours of similar Chinese / Japanese videos, I can already understand a few words as well. :)
    17
  3382. I've seen a noodle slide once before in a foodie anime, but I wasn't sure it was a real thing in Japan. Now I know.
    17
  3383. Rock star response to your detractors. Nice. Thanks for all your hard work. Keep it up. Thanks.
    17
  3384. I love seeing how language-learning runs in the family... and I really really loved the heavy Detroit-style beats you dropped for the music in parts of it... speaking of, can I mention your usual Zorba the Greek-style outro music is one of my favorite themes on youtube. It's not very Japanese, but it does match your personal character well.
    17
  3385. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" - she you learned this first hand and spent a month on basically a bedspread and a blanket on the floor for a month. (What's funny, Anming, is we forget all the times we slept on little pallets on the floor on in sleeping bags on the floor as kids and it NEVER bothered us- he get older and we forget all those childhood years...LOL). Another wonderful video! Thanks for all the hard work on the editing and the filming...much love & respect to you, my dear friend!
    17
  3386. I think that sometimes it feels like they’re degrading you a little, like with Japanese people they’ll be like “日本語が上手だ” when ALL you said was こんにちわ but then sometimes people are just really impressed because they think that foreigners won’t be bothered to learn as they think that we think everyone speaks English so it’s 50/50 for me

  3387. Here I am it's 3am watching beautiful Japanese people that I need to find my wife in Tokyo
    17
  3388. You should learn ‘Tagalog’ which is language from the Philippines and you will get alot of crazy reactions from Filipinos and you surely will get tons of fans from the Philippines
    17
  3389. first time being early here, cant wait to see what you’re up to this time!
    17
  3390. super super super super! love your videos! wow and congrats on the 500k! it was like yesterday when you were just starting! super happy to see your success and growth! you're awesome blossom
    17
  3391. Prayers for Drew as well ❤
    17
  3392. I love these everyday natural interactions, one of the best things of travelling abroad is making friends!
    17
  3393. If I met you on Halloween, I would have definitely talked to you! コロナの事もあり今年のハロウィンは行きませんでしたが、画面越しでも楽しめました😊いつもありがとうございます！ support from Japan!
    17
  3394. Looks like you're having lots of fun!
    17
  3395. Even knowing a little of the language in the country you are in is super helpful. I'm not very good, but my limited Japanese helped immensely when at ordering food and shopping, especially at the Japanese convenience stores.
    17
  3396. I wanted to visit Yokohama天后宫拜妈祖 this year, but I couldn’t. ☹️ The prayers sound so beautiful. Also, it’s not a Buddhist temple. It’s Taoist.
    17
  3397. You look like a northern russian girl, those who live near finland
    17
  3398. Just started following a purple weeks ago. Every video is great. I think how you learned these languages and speak it so well is just amazing. Thanks for taking the time to do so. I love watching them
    17
  3399. The best escape place is the escape from one's own mind.
    17
  3400. Anming the professional Rickshaw driver! They were so accommodating and nice to you. I really liked this behind the scenes look at Rickshaw.
    17
  3401. It was nice of him to share his footage with you. 👍😊 I think it was great to see this interaction from both perspectives 💗 I think it’s wonderful to meet new people and get to know someone. It’s so rare now a days to speak face to face..everything is online😔
    17
  3402. Very cool to see how Halloween is in Japan. I went out for Halloween in Washington DC this year. It was just as crazy lol I think people are itching to do something fun because of COVID
    17
  3403. Or this "你用筷子很好" i get it all the time..lol and yes i agree us westerners get the compliments when speaking way to much but i understand their feelings in the way that you have taken the time to learn their lingo so praise is a natural reaction no?
    17
  3404. Even I can't believe that he is raised in Japan as a foreigner from America until watching the video. And I think Mr. John can live with both cultural practices (American and Japanese), so that he could be in the same community. Happy (late) Chinese New Year (Year of the Dragon) and Valentine's Day, Miss Alyssa.❤
    17
  3405. A lot of the staring you get is because of your speaking voice, not just the language being spoken. You have a very nice sounding speaking voice and that in itself gets you a lot of attention.
    17
  3406. I can’t believe it never occurred to me that most people aren’t shocked or phased..I just never really thought about it. I really appreciate you showing us the truth and making this video. I’m sure a lot of viewers probably realized this but not me LOL
    17
  3407. Hello Anming, I've been studying Japanese for 6(?) years now. Finally last year I got the opportunity to study abroad in Tokyo, my first time in Japan. I ended up in an apartment where I lived alone, and I can say quite honestly it was one of the loneliest experiences I've ever had. I wish that I had the advice to live with other people before because I think it would have changed my experience greatly. I will definitely try to live with other people in the future, and thank you for sharing your journey with us!
    17
  3408. omg if you started streaming that would be so cool like just streaming walking through tokyo or walking through the countryside!! 😯
    17
  3409. Nice, we all need confidence to speak to people. You never know how a conversation can make a friend or make their day. Enjoy your week Ann, enjoying my birthday at work rn.
    17
  3410. I love the simple walking neighborhood interaction videos. I usually go to japan every few months but this lockdown is killing me, Maybe do some day trips for us to some cool spots. Thx from Hawaii.
    17
  3411. That was such a sweet way to start the day - you and Tommy are such a cute couple. Glad your Mom could get into Japan, I love following your Instagram as you travel around with her (and a little jealous of all the cool places you are going.)
    17
  3412. I have a feeling that when you said "they speak a little in Indonesia" and they said it's difficult for them to understand tho...that maybe it's like the difference between high and low German. My German friend speaks high German and works in a hospital where most speak low German and they can not understand her. Great video! So proud of your studies!!❤❤
    17
  3413. This video was so insightful and gave me different things to think about before traveling. The friendship ending suddenly part was sad... you are too nice!
    17
  3414. Wow. Studying one language is hard enough and you are going for three?! What a dedication!
    17
  3415. 8:47 that sound I only heard in anime 😅 first time hearing in a video
    17
  3416. For some reason I’m not surprised he learned Japanese’s from anime and manga 😂😂 Love how you had to pretty much censor his whole conversation 😆😆
    17
  3417. Firstly, you need to be congratulated on the insane number of views on your previous video. Secondly, this is another great video! :D
    17
  3418. Language is SO powerful. This shows how gaps can be bridged.
    17
  3419. Being poor and being messy and dirty is two different things.. the correct term is minimalist😎the less things we have the less things we have to deal with🖤
    17
  3420. That The Bride costume was spot-on! Nice job, Anming! There were far fewer Squid Game costumes than I totally expected.
    17
  3421. I would love to be able to impress Japanese people with my ability to speak their language as it should be, but even before beginning, it is a very daunting task to undertake. For me, it is extremely hard to retrain a brain to learn a language at all, let alone, Japanese, with its different contextual differences in sentence structure. I have yet to find a quality system to learn from. But if I ever got the chance to go to an Asian country, I would be very respectful and friendly. It's just the way I am. Good video!
    17
  3422. That was really cute and wholesome. Thanks for giving us a little look into your new year celebration. I hope all is well for you across the water. Happy New year from MA, USA!
    17
  3423. Awww, watching you two from Chicago! Looks like a BLAST and I'm so HAPPY that your mom and step-dad were able to visit you! ❤😁😄😃😃😀Much love from Chicago! P.S. I'm the lady who's brother has lived in Tokyo for 12 years and he just came here last month and I met his girlfriend for the first time!
    17
  3424. Men who do this are kind of scary 😭 But he seems like a nice guy in general tho
    17
  3425. TYKOSAM! A collaboration I did not expect but hope to see again.
    17
  3426. Thank you for showing us the parts of Japan that people rarely see or talk about
    17
  3427. I think Matt's point is excellent in regards to the more fluent you become in a particular language the less impressed the native speakers are . I am currently learning the Thai language and someone once told me that when you stop getting compliments about how well you speak thai from Thai people then you'll know you are fluent. On the other hand I think people need to decide what they really want out of language learning. a question I used to pose to people is if you could speak 10 languages fluently but not be able to read or write or speak five languages fluently and also be able to read and write which would you choose. Personally I would like to be able to speak the ten languages verse 5 but you gain and lose different things with that scenario. I have no issues with people on YouTube making money claiming they are polygots but I do see how it could be discouraging for those who are learning languages and feel they are not good enough because they can't learn as quickly as these people
    17
  3428. Awesome! Congrats on the 1M subs. Well deserved. Thanks for sharing your experience with renting in Tokyo. You kids look so great together. You should be happy where ever you go. Also, thanks for introducing Drew. Sending good vibes his way. My daughter rents in Petaluma, CA at about $2300 a month for a 2 bedroom apt.
    17
  3429. I wish I had started to learn other languages many years ago when I was in high school. I taught myself Spanish with the help of many friends who were Latino. I have lost much of the skills I used to have now that I am no longer around those people. I have been trying to learn Italian these last few years because I met an Italian woman on Babbel who needed someone to practice English with. Since July 2014 I have been trying to learn Italian but keep getting it confused with Spanish.
    17
  3430. I think even for people who like Nattou, いなごの佃煮 is a true test of bravery. Would you still try them?
    17
  3431. We ask; Anming delivers. The man is right: Happiness is more important than anything in this world.
    17
  3432. Your parents must be so proud of you! Please try to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables! You’re supposed to have 5 servings a day. Also, Japanese have good health from eating pickles like takuan, sea food, and natto is good for you.
    17
  3433. I really enjoy this video! The informative nature on the clashing cultures is very fascinating! I'd love to see more content like this
    17
  3434. as a vietnamese person, I've seen some "polyglots" show off their vietnamese, and at best they can only speak a couple sentences at a subpar level. their accent is just horrible, and I get that they may be still learning, but to say they're fluent at it is really far off.
    17
  3435. Nice video! People often forget with all of the travel vloggers and multilinguals that picking up another language for work is different from casual speaking of that language! I know that I have a long way to go with the language I am working on (French). Thank you for showing us Moxy!
    17
  3436. I honestly think that being able to learn any language is incredibly impressive! Not only do you have to speak, but you also have to be able to know how to read, write, and listen! I am currently a Japanese major studying in Japan and I'm learning Korean on the side as well just for fun! Hopefully in the near future I can learn mandarin and cantonese! I also think that it's crazy how some polyglots have beef on youtube. We are all just trying to learn languages here so it would be helpful to actually have some constructive criticism!
    17
  3437. Correction to one thing - when it is hot is when you should be eating spicy food. It makes you sweat more which cools you off 😂
    17
  3438. Oh man you are getting GOOD!! Loved the editing!! Regards from hungary 🤗
    17
  3439. I just moved to South Korea. Hopefully I can visit Tokyo again soon! I had such a good time there last year. Even though I ate at several Michelin star restaurants there I still think back to those egg salad sandwiches from 7/11 lol....So good. It would be cool to see a video going over the different districts in Tokyo and how COVID has changed things for the restaurant/bar/club scene as well!
    17
  3440. Welcome back to America Tommy! You guys are a great couple. Thanks for the visit.
    17
  3441. It's unfortunate that a lot of YouTubers like to create their own narratives. Thank you for sharing your experiences (genuinely). Learning from each other's experiences is important to the development of society and totally underrated these days.
    17
  3442. its so sweet how impressed they can be when they see you understand & speak their language, i’m learning mandarin and i’d hope to study abroad (and get a few free treats…^^)
    17
  3443. I smile as a single tear roles down my eye
    17
  3444. Would sub again if I could! Really love your work in democratizing asian languages and promoting culture
    17
  3445. When you said he was going to play some Japanese music, I was like there is no way he is going to play some classic Japanese tune, I bet it is going to be an Anime song and sure enough. Good show.
    17
  3446. When the side character drops that he ran all of route 66 in the US 😳
    17
  3447. When you said harassed.....I still wasn't prepared 😣 Edit: Thank you for giving time to this issue, I was homeless in my teens and early 20's, so the homeless population, regardless of Race/Nationality, is always important and dear to me.
    17
  3448. You’re so outgoing and out there :( that’s something I really admire about you’re videos. Since I’m very shy and definitely not outgoing it’s amazing and interesting to see people that are. Also this is very motivational. I’m currently learning Japanese and this is just very motivating. Haha 😅
    17
  3449. 1:58 i love how he tapped the tummy of the man. so cute^^ 😂❤️❤️
    17
  3450. This gives me Motivation to become fluent in Korean and also start learning Japanese. I gave up on chinese tho, too hard for me...ㅠㅠㅠ
    17
  3451. Chinese are very lovely and friendly when they discover you took the time to learn the language.
    17
  3452. Congratulations!!! I wish you nothing but luck and the best in your relationship. I hope for the both of you to thrive and love each other more with each passing day. Congrats once again!
    17
  3453. The apartment is so beautiful, you have great style! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, I can’t wait to see the videos and or pictures!
    17
  3454. japan is literally so cool and i love how the language sounds
    17
  3455. You have led such an interesting life, keep it up
    17
  3456. AWESOME!!! A million subs! You've worked hard and certainly earned it. What a great episode. I really enjoyed the talk with Alecia, and have enjoyed the past ones with Joshua.
    17
  3457. awe the way you made friends so quickly is so wholesome
    17
  3458. Pearl and Tommy, I swear I was just thinking about y'all two earlier today, especially this specific video. I'm so happy for you two. 👫👩‍❤️‍👨 🇺🇸♥️🇯🇵 Thank-you for publishing this video, Pearl. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Edit: I just had this thought: Tommy is now American because he's now married to you, Pearl! 🎉
    17
  3459. Oh man... I can feel this man heart because I've been fat too not long time ago at my Asia school days. People always talking about you, behind your head, when you are gone, gossiping, it's just succ... but the worst case of them all I have ADHD that is the worst but I learn how to lived with it and how to overcome it. I really hope from the bottom of my heart this guy is strong from inside, because to me I found the most manliest man is the one who have a strong patient inside of his heart.
    17
  3460. this is amazing!! when i first started learning french last year.. i was under the impression that i will be pretty fluent in 6 months, 6 months came by and i wasnt where i wanted to be.. then i rewatched the original video that inspired me to learn in the first place, i realized that this person was making mistakes all over when i initially thought "wow this person really did it!!!" now that i am, i can maybe say pretty low intermediate in french i can now hear the mistakes this person was making. these videos saying being fluent in 3 months can be very misleading and be very discouraging for people just getting into language learning. thank you for sharing your input on this topic!!!! because i can truly say that i felt like i didnt have it in me because i kept comparing myself with all these youtubers and their scripted videos.
    17
  3461. I've started learning Chinese, you inspired me.
    17
  3462. Really fun video, would love to see you visiting more places in Japan. Would also love to see Emi back again. She is super fun and cute.
    16
  3463. Crazy fun! Shibuya was so crowded!
    16
  3464. Such fun vibes, hope you all enjoy and appreciate the time with friends and family!❤
    16
  3465. I just know a few Japanese and i really wanna learn japanese because i want to go to japan an to not look lost an be able to ask for direction in japanese although I'm learning alittle from anime
    16
  3466. Artificial compliments flow like the wind in japan.
    16
  3467. Cuz chile. Ppl be out here saying "hi how are you" in 50 languages and say they're fluent. Like stfu it takes more effort than not even trying to actually learn a language, just learning for clout and flexing
    16
  3468. His reactions are so awesome!!! This dude is just living his best life right now hah Have a great holiday guys!!!
    16
  3469. i don’t know why but the fact that your boyfriend wears toe socks made my day🤣
    16
  3470. This was super fascinating to watch in contrast to a regular touristy video. Keep it up and hope to see more of these! 頑張ってくださいね~
    16
  3471. I lol'd at the twitch chat: "Ask for her only fans"
    16
  3472. Happy Halloween, Miss Alyssa. 🎃 You look gorgeous in the Princess Peach costume, for a Super Mario fan. And the locals are pretty surprised with your Japanese language speaking, too. Let’s Get Wicked
    16
  3473. NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE
    16
  3474. Congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers, Miss Alyssa. I am sure Mr. Joshua and Miss Alecia could be part of the same community in Japan, along with snack box too.
    16
  3475. You are one of my favorite YouTubers. Please never stop making videos <3
    16
  3476. I just found your channel. I am going to subscribe. Thank you for representing Americans in a positive way abroad. Learning each other’s languages is a great show of respect and admiration for a culture.
    16
  3477. It's always a good day. When you upload! Thanks ad always, for bringing us along for the ride. 🙏🏽😊 It's so nice to see you learning Korean too! Over the past few years. I've really grown to love all 3 languages, and you speak all 3 of them so nicely. Your Korean is coming along nicely.
    16
  3478. This was such a great interview‼️I’m looking for John’s movie. I hope I can find it. You two have a great collaborative energy. 🇺🇸🇯🇵🇹🇼🇨🇳🤝
    16
  3479. Yes, I watched till the very end. It was worth it for the motivational tips. :) And "Just do the thing"....that should be your language learning catch phrase!
    16
  3480. Great video Anming. I’m really glad you’re doing these types of interview videos. I know they’re probably not pulling in the numbers of the shocked Japanese reactions. I really do hope others enjoy this type of content too. You have a knack for getting some wonderful people to talk to on camera.
    16
  3481. It's been a revelation for me finding your channel! I think your language talent coupled with your personality and imagination make these clips great! Keep up the great work and stay safe. Peace and love from Scotland! 😎😷😷
    16
  3482. "Go all in or just go home" Girl, you're so inspiring!
    16
  3483. Loved this!! I didn't know they celebrated Halloween in Japan. Do they go trick or treating, too? I live in Sweden, and we've only had minor Halloween festivities for about 20 years, but only now it's more common to see kids go trick or treating, but only to houses that are decorated, so that kids know it's ok to knock on their door. Many here are not into Halloween. But I love Halloween! 🎃👻😁👍🏼💕
    16
  3484. I always really love seeing the co-existence and mutual respect between different cultures. Never ceases to give me hope for the compassion of humanity.
    16
  3485. At least they make non-English speakers to feel welcome. People appreciate if you learn their language.
    16
  3486. I find it way more impressive to learn one or two languages on a very high level instead of learning 20 or 30 languages on a basis level
    16
  3487. Like your friend said in the last video, he felt better when people stopped pointing it out and just accepted him as one them. 09:07 That just gave me a flashback to the "Patty Hype" episode of Spongebob...
    16
  3488. Well shot, well edited, very good work. You could be a segment producer or on air reporter.
    16
  3489. I’m only on my second semester of learning Japanese so i’m pretty much still a beginner but this made me really excited to continue and major in!! Right now we’re on chapter 8, which is all about shopping and prices. I’m at the point where I can understand select words and phrases, but i still have trouble speaking instead of writing :) thank you for motivating me!!
    16
  3490. If the rickshaw driver was in America, I would think he's working it for a big tip. Do they take tips in Japan, or is it a flat rate..?
    16
  3491. its lovely to see how people who have never met before can come together and make the most out of a night like this making it truly special
    16
  3492. I envy you for your life in Japan. I wish i can go there and stay for couple of years myself. I would probably choose southern part of the country for my visit, but nonetheless. I really do enjoy your videos and i want to say thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
    16
  3493. Those people need to open up their mind and start to understand that having a citizenship and a culture aren’t depending of their looks.
    16
  3494. Hooray hooray hooray!. This is the most awesome video that I've watched of yours. I saw this and my face lit up immediately! I am so very pleased for you both. I wish you both a long healthy and happy lifetime together. Woohoo!
    16
  3495. We have the same situation in Austria (also Germany). Especially after WW2 there were many children from relationships between Austrian women und US (POC) soldiers. Those who had darker skin were often bullied - not only as children. In Austria we have a football (soccer) national team player, David Alaba, who is very successful. His father is originally from Nigeria and his mother from the Phillipines. He was born and raised in Vienna. Once the Austrian national team held a team camp in Tyrol (a province in the west of Austria). The governor of Tyrol, also former minister of defence in the Austrian government, approached Alaba and asked him in English: "How do you do?" because of his darker skin. Alaba reples to him in German and said: "you can talk to me in German, I'm Viennese!".
    16
  3496. Your japanese lessons are paying off good for me! Great video!! 👍🏼🇨🇦
    16
  3497. I felt this sooo much. My mom is Japanese and dad is from South America and spoke English so I just know both languages. I currently am not fluent in Japanese. I cause understand it but can't speak it well so I'm working on it. I live on America so English is my first language. My mom only speaks Japanese with me same with my dad only speaking English so I relate with Katie soooo much.
    16
  3498. Lmao in the beginning of youre video you're like I got a cake I GOT A CAKE ! I was prepared & already knew what was coming I was thinking oh no ! R.I.P MY BELOVED FRIEND PIKACHU 😭😭😭LOL ahahaha
    16
  3499. I guess the next language to learn is Russian 😂
    16
  3500. I love this channel! Been following Pearl since she had few followers. It’s amazing to see the growth! This episode was so intriguing and insightful.
    16
  3501. 你的中文不错! 加油 Good job Michigander! 😉
    16
  3502. OMG! This was the first video on my homepage when I opened the YouTube app and I gasped when I read the headline! I’m thrilled for you, congratulations! I wish you and your fiancée a long, healthy, happy life together. For a feel good, marrying your Japanese love story, watch the music video by 5 Seconds of Summer called Youngblood 🥰
    16
  3503. Oriental Pearl: 你叫我牛！ Japanese dude: ??? Context switching is hard 😄. Your American friend did really well! I think it's a smaller gap to bridge (pronunciation-wise) going from English to Mandarin than from Japanese to Mandarin. The tones are probably the hardest thing to get used to. At least it was for me...
    16
  3504. Nice one. The guy saying "Bruce Lee" wasn't wrong, after all, "Kill Bill" is just a big collection of scenes, settings and characters that Tarantino was a fan of. A lot of it (even the Shaw Bros. intro) is taken more or less blatantly from older movies and characters, a lot of it from classic Hong Kong kung fu / martial arts movies. He does a lot of "mix and match" though, so for example he takes Bruce Lee's iconic yellow jumpsuit from the movie "Game of Death" (which came out 5 years after Bruce's passing and was cobbled together from his available scenes and some added scenes with doubles), but then he puts it in a scene that's reminiscent of another movie he liked, and the style of filming of that scene is from yet another movie he liked. So the entire Kill Bill is a collection of citations, of hommages, of bits and pieces Tarantino liked, picked from here and there and made into a new movie. Most of it goes right over people's heads when they don't know the original, akin to a boy band covering a classic song and the kids not being aware of the original song. In both cases, it doesn't mean that the new movie or song is bad necessarily. It can be quite good. But ideally you should be aware of the original ;)
    16
  3505. About 7:06 - well you really looks like a typical Russian girl )
    16
  3506. Here before you blow up to tons of subscribers. Starting to learn chinese thru a program now and finding inspiration from youtube. Glad I found your channel. Keep it up! :)
    16
  3507. The first time was shook my weekend nap. I jumped, went outside, still shirtless (peak summer), realized only me who looked weird. People like 'business as usual'. The second and third, got my lesson and chilled. Went to izakaya instead.
    16
  3508. Those screams underwater 😂
    16
  3509. I can tell you have a good soul.
    16
  3510. Happy new year to you too! Hope you a great year!
    16
  3511. Same I was super upset to hear the news about Moses (Laoshu)....just makes us aware of how we can go from fine one day to gone so quickly...
    16
  3512. I had started learning a couple of months ago and due to the difficulties of pronouncing some words, I finally gave up. But thanks Pearl. Your videos encourage me to learn Chinese again 👍👍👍
    16
  3513. something about the cicadas is so relaxing also so close to 100k, your channel is blowing up!!!
    16
  3514. I used to live in Ikebukuro and this is 100% accurate LOL
    16
  3515. Your parents are so cute!! I love that everyone finally got to meet💜
    16
  3516. Ok if Anming is telling you this dude is amazing, he must be insanely legit!
    16
  3517. Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover. JJ & Anming: Hold our tea.
    16
  3518. I love the gunshots sound effects!! You really got them! I love seeing their faces when they realize you speak Chinese fluently! Keep up these great videos!!
    16
  3519. Stay safe💜
    16
  3520. It's our favorite Russian woman with another video lmao
    16
  3521. i saw JJ in one of Xiama's videos,wow. btw was learning japanese easier because you already knew chinese?
    16
  3522. You two look very happy together! i wish you both lots of good adventures and beautiful memories. :) did you experience an earthquake for the first time? its insane how the aftershock came after 10 years! 🤯
    16
  3523. Your in laws are adorable. Good luck on your coming nuptial. I wish you all the best. Also. Have a wonderful new year
    16
  3524. "They know my weak spot" Well, now we all do 😂
    16
  3525. Wow your subscribers have increased astronomically!! Congratulations!
    16
  3526. me and my indonesian homie talk with 5 languages + dialect : "this is fine"
    16
  3527. I've been learning Mandarin at home for a few months now, 我 自学的. Every time I get a lull, your videos fill me with inspiration! 谢谢！
    16
  3528. The gardener lady has such a gentle, bright spirit! The first thing she mentioned was the local willow trees, and the small space in front of her home was filled with thriving greenery. I would love to listen and learn about plants from her!🙏💚💛
    16
  3529. So, I'm watching this and looking on the right at the up next videos and there's one - "Oriental Pearl - Shocking People for 10 Straight Minutes Switching Languages".... The irony nearly split my cheeks :) But I can still see your growth, laugh at some moments and call it "a day in the life of..." and also realise that this is just a small, but heated, step in your journey. <3
    16
  3530. Hey, I know that this video is about Japanese. So I apologise for my question not being related, but.... I just found your channel, and I wanted to know, how did you pick your Chinese name? I've been in China for four years, and I still don't have a Chinese name. I don't want it to be phonetically similar to my English name... It just doesn't sit right with me. I'm super early to this video, so hopefully you'll see this. Keep up the great content!!!~
    16
  3531. I learned so much French from a Primsleur video series on PBS that when I was in Montreal, an older women came up to me in a metro station and asked directions to where she wanted to go and I was able to tell her.
    16
  3532. An American taking their Japanese husband to a German restaurant... Mrs. Worldwide. Japanese guy at a German restaurant? All we need is an Italian and the gang's all back together! Tommy's reactions to everything are so wholesome. He's realizing how much he's been missing by not traveling to the United States before! Let's be honest, the Red Wings won because they wanted to put on a show for Tommy! Also, he doesn't like 40 degrees Fahrenheit/4 degrees Celsius? Wait until he discovers the existence of winter in Hokkaido 😂
    16
  3533. You handled that with your friend perfectly. 😊
    16
  3534. "So I've to eat it, because it's not an organ" - Mike opens Wikipedia: "The ear is the organ of hearing" ... Bruh xD
    16
  3535. I love watching stories like this. I also got married to my language partner, met him on Italki in 2012. Moved country, married him and now we have 2 children :)
    16
  3536. I'm currently in my first year of uni, and just starting my journey of learning Chinese. However, I recently lost basically all my passion and wasn't able to focus on anything for all my semesters. However, i'm slowly getting back into a better and healthier mentality, and part of that is because of these videos. They're super inspirational to someone like me
    16
  3537. No , I want your channel to grow in record time 🥳
    16
  3538. I'm a 15 year old currently studying Japanese for about 3 years. I love your videos and the best way for me to test my learning abilities is by asking our Japanese foreign exchange student for a sentence such as "今から食べます" We are going to eat now and she's been a great help on me personally learning Japanese. Lol idk why I said all this but it was like a Sumimasen moment 😂
    16
  3539. 2 conspiracy theorists walk into a bar, can't tell me that's a coincidence!! Got to stay aware of your surroundings, she was definitely shifty eyed.
    16
  3540. You’ve become a master at secretly capturing peoples expressions 😄. I would assume at this day & age that the Japanese people would be used to seeing foreigners.
    16
  3541. At 0:31. That comment says a lot about Japanese and American cultures. American are obsessed about differences including skin color. Japan was historically a homogenous society with a recent small portion of the population being foreigners. The Japanese guy was speaking to you without a race filter.
    16
  3542. As a proud Chinese man myself it's good to see Americans talking to us in our own language. Also for anybody who didn't subscribe to this Youtube channel, your ancestors are very dishonoredaraburu!
    16
  3543. Awesome video. Being a plus sized person, I couldn’t imagine how or where to find clothes in Japan. Love your videos 💖
    16
  3544. Crazy how racists these ppl sound towards the language and the ppl that speak it be it native or foreigners. Sound like jealous douche canoes. Keep on doing what your doing i found your content a few weeks ago and I find it all pleasant and entertaining.
    16
  3545. I get tired of how the term 'cultural appropriation' is used nowadays. People such as yourself are embracing a culture and showing to the world how great it is. What on earth is so bad about that?
    16
  3546. You're doing the right thing talking about this....putting it out in the open and making people aware. There are crooks around every corner, and they're always working hard trying to figure out ways to put their hands in your pockets. Your channel is becoming more successful by the day, and that brings out the worms....unfortunately.
    16
  3547. When I read the title I thought "please don't let it be Nishinari..." 😂 I ended up there at midnight during my first month in Japan... Didn't even know the name or what it was. I just took a detour with my bicycle going home and got slightly lost. I thought it was interesting, felt a bit uncomfortable, mainly due to how the prostitution was carried out in Tobita Shinchi, but that is all. Never would have thought that was "the worst in Japan" 😂 Funny fact, years later I realised that I had stayed twice in Nishinari as a tourist before that. Just not in the dodgiest area 😂
    16
  3548. The ways they prepare foods are amazing, it's like eating in high class Japanese restaurant.
    16
  3549. The only words that I know is “Kimochi” & “Yamite oni chan”
    16
  3550. This was absolutely beautiful♡♡♡
    16
  3551. Like others said; its nice how people open up when you speak to them.
    16
  3552. Wow, I was curious about Asia and enjoyed your ability to speak with people in their native languages. Now you are bringing us this reality content. Well done. This could help us all understand the nature of human society everywhere. I am worried for the elderly and poor people who suffer. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. This depravation is everywhere in our world. I support and protect my elderly family, also physically and mentally ill people in my life. I try to make small differences where I can. To look at this is overwhelming but it needs to be shown.
    16
  3553. 대박!! Wow you must have to be million youtuber If China open youtube 하하
    16
  3554. Aww hun he look so sweet as a child you picked the right man to marry and I send my happy blessings to you and your future husband and long life with him. I’m German too.
    16
  3555. This is why this is the one of the best multi language channel. You not only learned the language but the culture itself. I really hate people that learn languages just to get the views but doesn't even have a clue about the cultures.
    16
  3556. Can't wait to be fluent in Japanese!! Started studying a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying the challenge. I speak English and Tagalog fluently. I just can't for that moment when I go to Japan and being able to read everything around me. 😁😁😁.. maybe after a few years, I will start learning korean too!:)
    16
  3557. Glad I found your channel. It was in my YouTube recommendations. Binge watching your videos now! Hopefully your channel grows leaps & bounds.
    16
  3558. I’ve loved the Chinese culture since I was a small child. Once a month we would have a family dinner in Chinatown, and now Chinese food is my favorite, especially the Szechuan style of mala cooking. There’s good and bad in every country, but if we looked at all the good more often the bad would diminish.
    16
  3559. Wow 😳 Now that's a Halloween to remember...Live near Chicago,but have never seen a Halloween like that.... Looks like you guys had a great time...like before ❤️❤️all your hard work on the vids
    16
  3560. What a lovely vid. It feels like its so relaxing there and the beach looked amazing! You are such a natural at teaching as well i must say.
    16
  3561. "Sometimes the packaging is so pretty, you don't want to open it." I can relate to this haha. Just put it on display. Lol. But that box has some wicked spell on it. XD Why didn't you break the kitkat!!! I'm reporting you to the police. HAHAHA.
    16
  3562. There's one guy who claims to be learning a new language every time he goes someplace, but his speaking never goes beyond basic pleasantries. I don't think there is anything wrong with just learning the basics of speech and etiquette in a whole bunch of languages; anything you learn about a different culture is good. But people shouldn't go around bragging about a skill level they don't actually possess. I can hold a decent conversation in Spanish, can read Old English, and know the basic words and phrases in maybe up to 6 more languages. That doesn't make me a "polyglot", but I would claim to be well educated.
    16
  3563. i just honestly love that this amazing woman is breaking down stereotypes and raising awareness!!!! Keep spreading awareness it'll help a lot of communities in Japan!!! Love from the UK x
    16
  3564. when it comes to these sorts of things, just take it as cosmonauts pride; because you and your attitude is awesome. Just as they will be screaming humans can't be born on mars one day when it comes to pass. You and your parents are extremely accomplished and nothing can take that away from you!
    16
  3565. Its actually very encouraging to show ppl able to speak other languages. Without ppl like you showing this skills ppl wont have the push they need to pickup other languages.
    16
  3566. Ask him to say, "Where can I get a cup of coffee?" in Finnish. That is a phrase I'm sure no Finn would be without. Although, if he's from Finland, he probably already knows where all the good coffee shops are anyways lol (AKAKI: "We don't need to ask where we can get a cup of coffee in Finland.") 😂
    16
  3567. We enjoy watching the reactions. So like it or not..you are stuck with it, and us.
    16
  3568. I relate to her so much. I also have not ever had a bf/gf and I’m almost 28. I kinda have social anxiety in a way and feel like everyone is judging me. Probably stems from childhood trauma and past experiences. So I isolate myself and to feel at peace. But it gets real lonely. I’m going to try to make some friends but it’s hard at 25-30 age range.
    16
  3569. That gifu 田舎 part reminded me of our swiss mountains, a place so far away but super similar, atleast from a distance. Man I can't wait to visit the whole of japan once DA RONA is more or less fought off.
    16
  3570. absolutely love these videos! Congrats on 1 mill Pearl you absolutely deserve it (:
    16
  3571. Your channel is so calming to me because it is a reminder that we're all human. All day long we are bombarded with articles about our differences, and it is nice to come here for a change of pace. It makes me want to travel and find the good in people. Thanks!
    16
  3572. I loved every minute of this video. Tommy's open mindedness, was incredible. He was so eager to explore everything and experience and soak in all of American and Michigan culture. I think he has fallen in love with the USA. Also, I remember that Coney Island diner was featured in an Anthony Bourdain cultural show several years back. It was pretty moving at the end when Tommy was flying back. I'd like to see him come back to the States very soon.
    16
  3573. "I made Japanese friends in Korean Chinatown" One of the sentences of all time. Amazing!
    16
  3574. Absolutely wonderful video. Fascinating culturally. So very interesting. And two great beauties in the rickshaw! ! !
    16
  3575. I'm here!! Dude, I'm so bored and bummed about tonight. Anyway, this was a great subject to discuss with another content creator who makes similar content. I love how you two bounced off of each other. I know you've brought this topic up a few times, but it was great to hear the opinions of someone else too. Btw, I completely agree with him about the criticisms when you speak a foreign language and people criticize that it's not good. Lol. From my other multilingual friends, myself included, that was never the intention unless we're planning to work in the language. The intention for most people learning another language is just to communicate. "Can you understand what I'm saying?! Perfect!" That's all. lol
    16
  3576.  @OrientalPearl  🤣🤣🤣
    15
  3577. This was the best most balanced/comprehensive video I've seen on this. Great job
    15
  3578. I’m honestly so beyond impressed at your Mandarin pronunciation. as someone who has worked with second generation kids who still don’t speak with proper tones and are hesitant to learn about their ancestry, I admire the effort and time you’ve put in to get to know other languages and cultures that may not be inherently your own. take care!
    15
  3579. When is Japan opening back up I just got my passports TT☹️
    15
  3580. Almost 1 million subscribers, wow.. Congratulations 🙂🙂
    15
  3581. Brings back memories... In 1965 I was a young Marine stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. I remember several interesting free bar snacks that I suppose by being salty were meant to get you to drink more beer. I remember some salty tasting dry squid snack that I didn't much care for but would make a meal out of these chocolate covered balls of seaweed - or maybe it was kelp. I seem to remember us Marines referring to it as "okaka" but don't know now if that is what they were actually named or what we Marines called it just to be wise asses.
    15
  3582. I was once on a committee studying how different countries taught mathematics to their students. The Asian students who were excellent at math always thought they were poor, while the American students who were bad at math a;ways thought they were excellent.
    15
  3583. Oriental Pearl Minority: Why are copying so and so? Majority: We love it...please continue!
    15
  3584. Your reaction when you got "exposed" was so funny。Now I want to go to my local chinese shops and talk with the owners so much maby I get as popular as you are :)))
    15
  3585. I'M A SIMPLE MAN. I SEE ORIENTAL PEARL POST, I CLICK
    15
  3586. This was so much fun following you and your mom and your husband and friends, around while you celebrate Halloween💜💜 Such great costumes from so many people 🧡🧡
    15
  3587. Your friend is a class act, dressing up for the video like you always do. Love it!!
    15
  3588. I just love this women, the way she’s so nice to people.. is amazing. I hope the best for you if you see this.♥️ btw I have watched every video you made.
    15
  3589. Donated. I hope it helps. Thank you for telling us about this important issue. You are very good at news reporting and could be a journalist.
    15
  3590. I’m on the same boat with “people think I look Russian”. All the time!!! 🤣
    15
  3591. I think I learned from this video that a person can learn to say "hi, where's the bathroom?" in 15 days but it takes years to learn how to have a conversation about anything truly meaningful
    15
  3592. You're the ONLY talking about this shit in the language learning community! And it's so important! And these cult-like fandoms... I don't get it. Thank you Anming for being raw. We need that here.
    15
  3593. Marintia looks like she could be from Okinawa though. But then again, the racial bias Japanese have against anyone with anything but snow white skin is well known. It isn't just the forigners, it's the native people too. Sure, some are truly racists, but I think most just lack the awareness and introduction to others. It's also a cultural thing of "everyone must be the same", so if you stick out in any way you'll be judged as a disturber of the peace. It would be interesting to hear what the Japanese say about this. MAybe interview Japanese relatives of halfs and see if their biases have changed.
    15
  3594. I always had been an introvert when I was in Japan. I've changed a lot over the years though. Getting to know new people is fun. Now I work in retail. Love this video.
    15
  3595. Lots of failed conversation... just like when guys tries to pick up girls... lots of failure. But if you don't try you'll have 0.
    15
  3596. Have this video be a warning to those who wanna move to japan with no plan or set goals. It ain't the "utopia" people think it is or what insta/tik tok vloggers says it is.
    15
  3597. Haters gonna hate Anming, I love that you share your experiences with us.
    15
  3598. Dang your beautiful! Your legs were sculpted by the gods
    15
  3599. This is wonderful content! Thanks so much for sharing this unique and educational experience at Fudan University. Hi Tommy!
    15
  3600. I have, and I like that you show the different slices of your life on Instagram as well. I really need to use Instagram more often, but I don't always tend to have time for those social media, and I just hate to miss out on those peaceful and harmonious slices you've shown me. I do like the interaction you do with random people on the streets, and would like to make the acquaintance of various people too. If only I had the chance and skills.
    15
  3601. ▓▒░  The longer she remains in Japan, the  more  Japanese she  looks.   ` What?  `   You  don't  think  so? ?   ` I'm  tellin'  you.  `  If  she  tints  her  hair   black  and  speaks  Japanese  like  that, she'll   look   and   sound   just   like  them. As it is,  her skin color is close to theirs. _l.o.l._  `  ☻     ` Peace and blessings be upon her. ░▒▓ `
    15
  3602. Parents from Ghana, born and raised in Japan yet speaks perfect American style English. I am impressed. Where did Beni learn English? In Japan, in America or self taught? Just curious. Love these videos. Very interesting to see how other people live. 😁
    15
  3603. The Canto at the end was a nice touch. Good to see that there's a Cantonese speaker and establishment in Japan.
    15
  3604. You could make bank working for the United Nations!
    15
  3605. Tommy's enthusiasm throughout the video was so great! He was so excited, it was adorable!
    15
  3606. Dear Oriental Pearl: You will soon go back “ home” to China, Fudan University & your young man- all of whom you must miss greatly! You deserve the Best always! Regards & Hugs! Geti Kasper!
    15
  3607. Growth takes time.
    15
  3608. this is the kind of superpower i wish i had..to be able to speak in so many languages is something else.
    15
  3609. 5:05 「お茶濁してる」なんてフレーズを知ってるんですか！凄いですね
    15
  3610. Great video. Everyone was so happy and smiling. Guess as long as there is a rule that states you cant do it, you could probably do it 😉
    15
  3611. Thank you for making your videos! I started learning Japanese in university and you really give me confidence that it is still possible to learn languages as an adult. Your videos really help keep me going
    15
  3612. Fun family video! I was laughing so hard when Tommy said, "I love you" to his father 😅 His parents are so nice. Thanks for sharing the family trip.
    15
  3613. Sweep the leg, no mercy! 😄
    15
  3614. How would you describe language schools in Osaka in comparison? Heading out this month and pretty anxious tbh now that I waited a few years just to get started. Thanks for the video Oriental Pearl :)
    15
  3615. This is SOOO amazing 🤩!! IF you gonna get engaged 💍👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️ Tell USs I been watching your video and learn a lot about Japanese 😁👍😌 and it so amazing having a parent in law😌😊
    15
  3616. My family in Michigan are all social distancing. Some of them are very extroverted, so it's hard for them. I didn't know Japan drives on the left side....I learned something.
    15
  3617. Ew - "I'm a filmmaker. Do you want to watch my work?" Creeper...
    15
  3618. as a fellow American. you are pretty amazing learning all these eastern asian languages. it's pretty hard from my perspective, but anyhow i give you my sub and like. thanks for the great content. I love to see the native people's reaction seeing a westerner speak their language. it's priceless
    15
  3619. I admire folks who're multilingual SO much! Congrats for studying and learning these languages - reading/speaking/writing - which is so much harder and more complicated than just speaking them. I do find it amusing and fun when folks are stunned that you speak the language, but you know how most Westerners are when abroad, so I can't entirely blame them for the assumption. However, most of the folks you showed seemed to be very gracious and cheery about the surprise. Nice video, thanks for sharing! Think I'm going to subscribe, too. 😁👍🏻
    15
  3620. OMG the interview part just cracked me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    15
  3621. got recommended some "foreigner speaks perfect chinese" videos from time to time and this is the first one I've seen that actually speaks decent Chinese, I was like FINALLY lol
    15
  3622. It's such a blessing to at least have your friends there while you're stuck in Japan. I hope you can get back to China very quickly! But when you do you have to keep making videos on the regular!!! 😁
    15
  3623. As a fellow Michigander this makes my heart warm (As a UMich student I feel even happier seeing Tommy with the jersey hahaha) ❤ Happy holidays to you all!
    15
  3624. Alex really? That rubs you off? As a Chinese, I’ll be very happy to hear that a foreigner not only goes to a university in my country but goes to one of the top universities. That just shows how much hard work she must’ve putting in. People like to be around with people who works hard. Don’t you?
    15
  3625. Anming, if you aren't a polyglot no one here is. By any reasonable standard you are. And one of the best ones here on YouTube. We all have a limited amount of time and resources, therefore of course one cannot acquire a perfect level in every language in the world, it's just physically impossible. And while some polyglots (like Wouter or the sadly deceased Laoshu) decide to invest their time in a lot of language but learnt only in a very basic level, others (like Mattvsjapan or you) decide to focus instead on very few languages, but learnt deeply. It's just a matter of choices. In my opinion you are all polyglots.
    15
  3626. Loved the video. Hope to see more of Japan. It's one of my favorite destination I'd like to see one day. I especially love the kimonos. I'm obviously obsessed over them. So many colors and patterns. :)
    15
  3627. With him being bilingual and knowing the Japanese culture , I'd say he's a well rounded individual.  At work i'm sure he's a ton of help.  I'm glad he doesn't get upset when people comment about his weight; he's bigger than that. :-)  Okay okay, I'm leaving the building now.
    15
  3628. I'm from Minnesota, seeing your journey is kinda crazy. Its like "wowzer thats someone like me doing all this stuff"
    15
  3629. I've graduated Russian high school, I've studied and worked in Hungary for 15 years ,after Europe I got a job in US, now I live in China. I never considered myself as a polyglot whatsoever. You guys right, when I hear some polyglot speak Hungarian or Russian not to mention chinese, I just giggle and feel sorry for them. I'm mongolian by the way, thank God, not many polyglot dares f... with my mother tongue.
    15
  3630. It's all fun and games until she learns karate 100% and she protect her subscribers with no help
    15
  3631. I learned French and Dutch with apps
    15
  3632. This is such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
    15
  3633. I recently bought that lifetime $1500 subscription on chinesecalss101. I hope you got the affiliate commission for it! Your channel has reinvigorated my interest in Chinese (I almost gave up). I love both the Chinese and Japanese content because I'm interested in both languages.
    15
  3634. I personally enjoy her content so much, I really don’t get why some people hating on her.
    15
  3635. Well said Anming.😔 Its truly sad and I pray their families have comfort. 💗
    15
  3636. I'm glad you brought up that when you speak different languages, you also take on the mannerisms and the speech patterns. I know when I'm in the United States there's a part of me that I cannot share because it is lost in translation. And when I'm speaking with Japanese or in Japan, there's a part of me that can't be shared because it's also lost in translation. Like John I just had to accept it is what it is. Some Japanese will accept me knowing that I grew up in Japan and much of my personality or kokoro is Japanese. Although you translate kokoro as heart, it also means the mind and soul. So when John said his kokoro is Japanese. It's more than just as heart. It's a much greater part of him. I'll have to look up his documentary on Tubi.
    15
  3637. Bless you Oriental Pearl. You are doing good. Thank you for helping those in need. You rock!
    15
  3638. Loved this - when I went to live in Japan for 6 years back in 1990 there were even fewer foreigners like maybe a quarter of the number now. I moved to the countryside after a couple of years and one of my best stories was the taxi driver who kept looking at me through the rear-view mirror instead of watching what was ahead of him. We rear-ended the car in front of us and I had to walk to complete my journey. Or the time a guy was so intent at looking at me that he rode his bicycle off the road and straight into a water filled rice field. Or the time two drunk guys were fighting on the Joban-Sen and everyone was pretending not to notice but when I told them to shut up, they stopped fighting and apologized and I had to leave the train at the next stop because it was too hard not to laugh and if I laughed they would lose face and probably end up dismembering me. Ah, glad to see Japan hasn't changed one bit in 30 years when it comes to gawking at foreigners. It is kinds neat though, isn't it?!😂😂👍
    15
  3639. I consider my level of Japanese about on par with a toddler. Can't form sentences the correct way, only know maybe a few tens of kanji, and really only have a limited vocabulary which consists of words borrowed from other languages, but regardless, when i was in Nagoya for a few months, people always said i spoke very well and had good pronunciation. Even if they didn't know much english we could still communicate. Just goes to show when it comes to languages, nobody is asking you master them, but just make an effort.
    15
  3640. Wow, I would love ❤️ to have a vending machine in my neighborhood...instead we have possums, wild turkeys 🦃 and a few skunks. I use to feed the possum but my mother cat attacked him so he hasn’t returned. I love animals and we have some wild life here. God Bless, Stay Adventurous and Happy 😊.

  3641. being raised in a catholic environment where i’ve visited many churches, the church looks absolutely beautiful and everything looks so elegant, even the interior design

  3642. I have watched a couple of people posting videos showing how "fluent" they are in multiple languages, but very quickly it is clear they have simply, yes skillfully but still simply, memorised a few lines, as their responses in "conversations" do not match what the other person says to them. 👏🏽 For covering this.
    15
  3643. Glad to see you and Tommy made it back safe after your adventure on bicycles! No chinese may of been learned but at least you got exercise lol
    15
  3644. I’m a Japanese high school student! I was doing Kyudo . I’m glad you tried the Kyudo☺️☺️
    15
  3645. The video is really amazing. I love how you so easily get into a conversation, ask questions about where they are from and talk about the surroundings. I really like your positive attitude.
    15
  3646. You should learn Russian so when people guess that you are Russian you respond in Russian.
    15
  3647. I love how you were teaching English just for fun. 😊
    15
  3648. 1M! Let's gooooo!!!!
    15
  3649. Your Mum: “Travelling to a foreign country and get trained like the Karate Kid was hard work and embarrassing at times. But to make Anming so happy and also gain such a wonderful son-in-law I was willing to do even more.” :D
    15
  3650. The manga with the grey short hair girl is about a girl going places with her friend every day, it’s not about things that you think just story’s of peoples lives and what they do.
    15
  3651. You have the cutest laugh ever!! 🙃
    15
  3652. I'm glad that you showed that the "shocked," reactions are in the minority, and that you have to keep trying to find someone to give you a youtube-worthy reaction haha. I felt like a lot of the "(insert nationality here) people are SHOCKED when I speak their language," videos have cherry-picked reactions to make it look as if every single person that they talked to were surprised. Don't get me wrong, it is still entertaining content, but I respect you showing the "not shocked," counter as well
    15
  3653. No I'm not jealous really I'm not jealous Believe me....
    15
  3654. I'm so glad I found this channel. It's a gem. Keep it up! :)
    15
  3655. Marriage is not competition it should be cooperation ! It can end up badly when you use weapons to see who is the boss ! 😁
    15
  3656. I love your opinions on this matter and I love the fact you even make videos about this. I honestly believe that the next step is to have a conversation WITH the people that you are talking about. why don't you actually get some of these guys on and ask them "how do you feel about the impact you're making on your audience when you say you learned this language overnight?" "do you ever think about how you're huge following is affecting how people view learning languages?" I would love to hear from the horse's mouth, so to speak, what goes through their minds when they make these videos. I think it would be a really healthy and honest conversation and I think you're ability to speak freely whilst not trying to cancel others makes you the perfect person to have this kind of up-front conversation. I've learned way more about language learning from your channel that some of these other "gurus". I am learning Spanish now because I watched your videos and you made me feel like I could actually achieve this. another YouTuber made a "I learned Spanish in 30 days" video and that just put me off, but you inspired me that- no, I can achieve this and it doesn't matter how long it takes. if I have passion for a language like you do then I can push myself to learn. Huge fan, keep going and making awesome and honest videos:)
    15
  3657. I like how you just adopted dragon ball guy and took him along for the ride
    15
  3658. JAPAN IS AWESOME!!!!! I LOVE IT BECAUSE ITS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM MY COUNTRY (GREECE). CONTINUE THE VIDEOS YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
    15
  3659. I literally can’t watch any of your videos without smiling, i love how friendly you are to everyone :’)
    15
  3660. Now that's mildly funny: a young lady who speaks four (five?) languages needs a translator.😎 (no mocking here, just pointing out the humor of the situation)
    15
  3661. It’s surprising that they’re okay with the video without asking their permission first. Because you can’t do that with the people in the prefecture I live in. Anyway, I found Tokyo as a bewildering and fascinating place. It never fails to amaze me. 東京 に また 行きたい な... Thank you for sharing.
    15
  3662. So beautiful to see how much fun the students had with you as their teacher.
    15
  3663. The guy that always says, "Hi, your [insert language] is great. Let's be friends and practice together."
    15
  3664. Giving free English lessons, to housemates, and keeping them engaged!👍
    15
  3665. I used to commute into Melbourne and it was up to a 90 minute journey each way. Assuming something didn't go wrong with the trains. I did this for almost 30 years and my health suffered as a result. Then five years ago, I picked up part-time work much closer to home. My health is so much better. Working full-time with a crazy commute is all very well, but some things are more important.
    15
  3666. A true inspiration to all. I wish you lots of subscribers and fortune. Thank you x
    15
  3667. I'm at the 7:30 mark and wow, you're really amazing. Not many people can juggle fluently between two languages they've studied/isn't their native tongue. Literally you started speaking to one person in Chinese and another in Japanese, that's so awesome.
    15
  3668. I'm so sorry, Drew. I know it doesn't seem like much, but I pray everything will get better. Sending you all my love :virtualhug:
    15
  3669. I’m Japanese and I grew up learning more English than Japanese so when I see someone from other country’s I want to talk to them- And I hope people will stop making fun of my country and we don’t learn much English in Japanese schools most people has an Japanese accent when they learn new languages as an adult and yeah I love your videos and I don’t think Japanese people stare at people in an offensive way but yes when I speak English to my friends at the mall or somewhere they stare at me- I’m sorry that some people stare at you in a weird way. But even when you’re Japanese they stare at you so there’s not much of an difference
    15
  3670. Always happy to see a new video from you, Alyssa! 😊 One of my favorite hairstylists is trying to teach me common Mandarin phrases. Wish me luck! Currently I'm studying German on Duolingo and Pimsleur, and I just started a job where one of my workers speaks better German than I, and we also have a common colleague who is from Austria. I'm also studying Scottish Gaelic. Been doing that since the late 90's. I lucked out that my bestie has also studied it and is much better at it. Otherwise, I don't really come across any Scottish Gaelic speakers! I also need to work on my Spanish (Mexican) and Tagalog (my parents are Filipino). Thanks for your language learning inspiration! ✌🏾😎
    15
  3671. Your cinematography is getting so good! Also, kind of sad that everyone was like, "Ditch your current guy," haha 😭谢谢!
    15
  3672. I love how you speak confidence into your viewers. I literally know no Chinese or Japanese and you make me feel like even I could do it lol.
    15
  3673. We rode with the same guy at 3:05 couple years ago 😄
    15
  3674. Your videos are getting better day by day, specially your editing skills. And I LOVE that opening! Doing an amazing work as always! Keep it up! You'll get real big soon.
    15
  3675. Fantastic interview!! I really appreciate your work. One of the best journalists and field reporting I have ever seen.
    15
  3676. 2 lovely ladies and a charismatic energetic guy on the street corner. Nice video!
    15
  3677. Miki is such a sweet person. Her voice acting sounds amazing, what a cool career to be in. I’m glad you interviewed her and am thankful that she said things are improving for half Japanese kids in school and they would be more accepting. 💜💜
    15
  3678. Great job putting this profession in the spotlight. Would have love to see Henry do an anime drawing of Anming! :D
    15
  3679. Your effort to learn languages and interact with people inspires me. I'm only 17 but I too want to learn Manadrin, plus Thai and Korean. Great video! 😇💙
    15
  3680. I thought you were going to sing "I got bubble tea" Blue's Clues "We just got a letter" style and then say... Wonder where it's from? 😜
    15
  3681. こういう誰も傷つけない、不幸にしないドッキリ大好きです。最高
    15
  3682. Your videos are always so uplifting and positive. Please keep making them.
    15
  3683. 3:15 is one of my favorite clips so far. I love seeing farmers.
    15
  3684. Just a bubbly fun woman to watch
    15
  3685. Had the same experience with my Korean wife! We also explored Nishinari in Osaka, and then brought her to visit Michigan for the first time, saw the Heidelberg Project. My parents' sub looks just like yours too, on 22 mile 😄
    15
  3686. man i cant appreciate enough how he is able to take this stuff daily so well living in japan
    15
  3687. Congrats to you both!!! Ur vlogs are so inspiring and made me start learning japanese <3
    15
  3688. i like how she also mixed some japanese inside her sentences 0:57
    15
  3689. Do more of these vids if you can please, that was one of the most genuine reactions you've seen on youtube. Loved it
    15
  3690. I think it's true that Americans are a little arrogant in that they want you to speak English, but don't want to learn other languages or cultures. There are a lot of video's of people here going off on someone in line, or other places, speaking Spanish, or Chinese, or Korean, for example. I think it's pretty disgusting, small minded, and arrogant. Where I live in southern New Mexico, I dare anyone to tell someone to stop speaking Spanish, and talk English. Lol, that wouldn't end well. If people would take the time to try and learn about other cultures, it really is fascinating. On the other YT channels the white guys are always getting complimented on their Chinese. They do the exact same thing as you, they reply it's ok, or I'm still learning. It was funny to me because the titles of the video's are usually "white guy speaks perfect Chinese to ......." But thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea it's customary to deny compliments.
    15
  3691. Gift! Thank you for showing the whole picture. We are all more connected than we give ourselves credit for.
    15
  3692. I'm learning Japanese and Korean as a Pole. I love both cultures. I hope I can visit those amazing countries in the future. ♥ 🇯🇵 🇰🇷♥
    15
  3693. Shibuya seems like a fun place, I would love to go there.
    15
  3694. I absolutely suck at different languages, but seeing videos like this cheers me up, seeing people bridge the language barrier if even to make a few days better for just a small number of people. Keep it up!
    15
  3695. You're an amazing woman. So authentic and a wonderful personality. So linguistically talented. Such an interesting combination to know Chinese and Japanese.
    15
  3696. Keep going .. new fans from malaysia 🇲🇾😁
    15
  3697. I didn't learn much language this video, but the way Richard and you spread joy around. 🙂 So wholesome.
    15
  3698. It's much easier to be a critic than a performer. You have nearly half a million subscribers! With a number like that, you can laugh at the haters all you want.
    15
  3699. Same here, I enjoy your videos I can probably watch much longer videos 🤗🤗
    15
  3700. My dream is to live in Japan, im learning Japansese now and i love to watch your videos becuase they inspire me💞⛩
    15
  3701. I can see why he asked that, he could probably see that you guys are really close, but at the same time, he could probably see that there's no romance between you guys, so he maybe assumed that since you came all the way from America together, you must be brother and sister...😅
    15
  3702. Im using Pimsleur, N5 tango book, anki for kanji, and random YouTube vids. Been on hello talk for a while but 99% of the time im just correcting others english lol...finally recorded an introduction in Japanese.
    14
  3703. Thank you i discovered how to write nü in the pinyin keyboard😂😂😂
    14
  3704. I am currently living in Taiwan and can speak Chinese. I have experiences like this all the time. It just amazes me that I even though I live in their country they still don’t expect people that don’t look like them to be able to understand them.
    14
  3705. I love the rain. It's beautiful.
    14
  3706. We will always support you no matter what. Just know that things will get easy gradually.
    14
  3707. Reddit is a toxic wasteland. Those people are mentally disturbed.
    14
  3708. Your conversations are so smooth, I want to strive to get to your level in Japanese.
    14
  3709. How I wish I could be stuck in Japan eating all of those hehe. Btw you look utterly gorgeous! I mean always but in this vid specially :) great vid!
    14
  3710. The world is your buffet Pearl, I love how you fill your plate, top off your drink, and stuff a few rolls in your pocket! You live a Beautiful Life, may all your and your husband's days be filled with such radiant joy and laughter!
    14
  3711. ive been watching a tonnn of japanese videos and what it’s like to live there. i’m only 13 but i am pretty determined to learn Japanese and visit Japan someday when im older!!
    14
  3712. Having been to Japan a lot and interacting with Japanese people for over 20 years, I can say it's rare to get a direct answer, especially a negative one. There's a joke that goes something like "If a Japanese person says "yes" they mean "maybe", if they say "maybe" they mean "no" and if they say "no" they aren't Japanese ;). You can extrapolate a lot from there...
    14
  3713. Your a genius. Learning korean, japanese, and chinese. Your number 1. Much love towards you muah.
    14
  3714. I am envious and so impressed with your ability to learn the Asian languages. They sound so difficult to me. You are right about people suddenly becoming quite friendly when you speak their language. It's really amazing. Your interactions with them when you translate the words for us on the screen, show me a "humorous" side of people that we might not realize without seeing those interactions in their own language. Many have a good sense of humor that otherwise might not be realized. Great fun.
    14
  3715. I agree with @Ian McCausland. I do enjoy the first reactions of some of the folks, but the discussion with the woman about East vs West cultures at 7:56 was really excellent. I've subbed for more of this type of content. =)
    14
  3716. This makes me want to learn Chinese cause like one day I wanna go to other places and just talk to them .like it's really cool to understand them and talk to them more it's actually really interesting and fun.😊👍🏻
    14
  3717. I really love the respect you show to people. That’s what’s missing in the world today.
    14
  3718. Fun video. I'm always so amazing at how you're not just able to speak multiple languages, but how good you are at having random conversations with strangers. They often seem not just impressed by your language skills but excited to speak it with you. I think thats because you are so genuinely friendly and respectful.
    14
  3719. AAAAHH THIS WAS SO SWEET, kinda thought it was going to be a bit awkward at first but the whole vibe of this video was very wholesome and welcoming, thank you for sharing your experience 😊✨😎🤩
    14
  3720. Really loving this types of creepish and exploring darker area videos please keep on making more of these ! ❤ These are like small documentaries ❤❤
    14
  3721. Great video, very interesting to see the Japanese guys' curious interactions with you. Sam seems like a lovely guy and Pearl you are doing great work with these videos. My story: An old lady in the swimming pool that I recently joined zoned in on me (gaijin) one day, began speaking semi-good English and after asking where I was from and commenting how bad the coronavirus was in my country (thanks! :( but truthful), she expressed to me that I was 'wow, so white' (I have pale, Irish decent skin) and I thought I misheard her. It seemed a random comment. She was very sweet while saying all of this, however, and has said hello a couple of times since but I was both surprised (in the moment) and then unsurprised, on reflection. From my experience, they do comment quite directly on appearance here and yes, a lot of the older generation are not afraid to say it if they feel safe in approaching you (Sam's friendly greeting, for example). It's a bit jarring at times because I wouldn't dream of commenting on a stranger's weight or skin tone. Also, I have seen an increasing number of plus-size Japanese people about than people outside of Japan would perhaps expect.
    14
  3722. Those shots from inside the music store had me hooked, Japanese music stores are a dream destinations! haha
    14
  3723. At first part she said that it will be difficult for guys to talk girls. I want to assure you to proceed in that direction after loking in the mirror. If you are good looking you are flirting but if not then you are harrassing
    14
  3724. Your substance and authenticity are refreshing!
    14
  3725. I really loved Pimsleur but its such a bummer they only offer one level of Cantonese and not all five like they do with other languages
    14
  3726. the girl who is japanese and speaks chinese- honestly wow, you won’t even notice that she’s japanese- (coming from a chinese person!)
    14
  3727. This video brought back fond memories of my time living in Japan. Enjoying all your videos!
    14
  3728. I subscribed when you 'only' had 40k, now you allready have 1 million! Amazing and congratulations!
    14
  3729. Their language and dialects are so many and you taking the time to learn them with nuance and grace humbles and makes them proud. You capture their hearts because of baring yours and testament to how beautifly you do it. Well done. Subbed up straight away
    14
  3730. The moment you realise that you can understand their words even without the subtitles. Damn, i watched too much anime lmao.
    14
  3731. Wow nice :D. I live in Vietnam and have been learning for almost 4 years. It's not bad but it's a slow process. Looking forward to videos in vietnamese. Good luck!
    14
  3732. I think for a lot of people lack of confidence can be traced to fear of screwing up/making mistakes. Getting over that fear by knowing that you ARE going to make mistakes, and that you will learn from them, is one key to happiness as a human being. You embody that well, Anming!
    14
  3733. "Zhan Men" is such a lao bai xing way to say "You and I" or "We Are" I am really impressed by your Northern Chinese skills. Respect!
    14
  3734. I know everyone says to ignore it, but if people tell you all the time that you're worthless or not normal and wish you didn't exist you can't unhear it. I'm glad you're able to mostly ignore it, but remember nearly 500,000 people are subscribed to your channel so you must be doing something worthy. Concentrate on all of us who are sending you internet love. I love your channel, and I'm jealous at your language skills. I went to Japan with my wife and kids in 2019 and we all loved it. We'd be back this year if it wasn't for the pandemic keep both the Japan and New Zealand borders closed. I learnt you can manage being a tourist in Japan with no Japanese, but I saw that even a little language would make the experience very different. I watch so I can listen to spoken Japanese as part of my learning and see your experiences at different locations. Keep making these videos, I'll be watching.
    14
  3735. What a cool person with such a unique life experience. I hope in the future the presence of non-ethnically Japanese people in Japan becomes normalized.
    14
  3736. Damn I should learn Korean too, then I’d be able to talk to my grandparents. It’s hard honestly.
    14
  3737. "Don't recommend self teaching" Pearl: Pointy stick go zoom :D Whether you hit the target or not, you look great in that gear.
    14
  3738. Thanks for this segment. Unfortunately Japan is very class and image conscious where it's not only the homeless problem that is kept out of the public eye. The term "meiwaku" keeps most people from acting outside of what is considered the norm but for those that violate the norm society frowns upon the individual and family. A heavy price to pay. Maybe you can do segment on this term and its impact on the average Japanese citizen?
    14
  3739. You are such a lovely and positive couple, please keep going) Best wishes from Kiev, Ukraine.
    14
  3740. hey anming, I'm very happy for both of you, probably more excited than i should be .....cuz i just love your content? lol... thank you for sharing your journey in a way that's endearing, much love
    14
  3741. Merry Christmas Anming! And an early happy new years to you, from New Jersey. Keep on putting out wholesome content.
    14
  3742. U r very intelligent that u learn Japanese🇯🇵 in some time.... After seeing ur videos I also interested in speaking Japanese 🥰... So I hope I also talk in Japanese like u 🥺💕
    14
  3743. I wished Baskin Robins had cute cakes like they do ;C
    14
  3744. Amazing that you’re in Taiwan! I went in may and june of this year and found that the people are one of the nicest I’ve encountered! Love Taiwan 🇹🇼
    14
  3745. That's AMAZING that your little cousin is learning Chinese early on! I think that's amazing that they have multi-lingual programs and I hope it only becomes more mainstream ^.^
    14
  3746. From Monterey California. An Ming, you are a True Polyglot. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your videos!
    14
  3747. Isn't that hanging clothes dry ecofriendly?
    14
  3748. It made me nervous to see you eating noodles in kimono.
    14
  3749. the guy who said "you look sexy" looked so sad.. :( he's not bad looking either!
    14
  3750. Hell if I could speak either of those tongues I'd be bragging all day long!!
    14
  3751. People are just subconsciously unhappy with themselves with the fact that they are unable to be as positive as you, that's all. Keep spreading the positive vibes. ✌️♥️
    14
  3752. Don't ever feel bad for trying to learn a new language or show your progress. There are always going to be those people who can sit on their couch and criticize others to make them selves feel better! Love both your videos! Never give up! Never surrender!
    14
  3753. Your Mandarin is so good that your slight accent is almost “non foreign”. It’s almost as it’s a some kind of provincial accent.
    14
  3754. I sure miss walking down Harajuku for the electric atmosphere. Omotesando nearby has some great cafes and restaurants tucked away if you want to take a breather somewhere quieter.
    14
  3755. Honestly it's exactly how I imagine Ireland. Hahaha!
    14
  3756. Man I HAVE to go back to Vietnam. Nothing like waking up to the constant honking and nearly dying when crossing the road. The Vietnamese are some of the kindest people I met, like this taxi driver, he seemed to like your guys' company. Keep it up~
    14
  3757. Katie is so cool ..love that y’all met ❤️
    14
  3758. Anming is so powerful that she can break out of every matrix in every language.
    14
  3759. The polyglot videos have been extremely important to my experience learning language and practicing with people. Being able to connect with people who I otherwise never would know existed is a lovely idea, and seeing how comfortable many polyglots like Wouter have become speaking with strangers in their language has played an integral role in my confidence and language learning
    14
  3760. I never lost my smile throughout this whole video. This whole video made me happy. Thank you, Anming.
    14
  3761. I’ve been there! So happy for you that you got an extension. I’m from Singapore and I lived 11 years in the States and 3 years in the Netherlands. The worst was when I had to spend 2 months apart from my husband - the Netherlands took that long to process my spousal visa and I was stuck in San Francisco with no passport. Thank universe I had great friends who let me stay with them in exchange for me cooking lunches and dinners for them. Take care, you got this. ❤️
    14
  3762. I haven't seen someone cooking at a public place with a cigarette hanging out of their mouth since a bar in Detroit.
    14
  3763. I could never imagine, in the US, commenting on a non-native speakers English skills without them bringing up the topic first.
    14
  3764. I absolutely adore you already. You’re so respectful and watching you communicate with someone in their native language is living peace. ❤
    14
  3765. You are so quirky and personable, I love it.
    14
  3766. As a black gaijin struggling weather I should fit in or be myself, I loved his pure positive energy and his attitude towards life. Enjoyed it a lot.
    14
  3767. haven't watched one of your videos in a while but i still love them! sorry i havent supported you by watching your videos but you really do have good content! keep on going!
    14
  3768. Why is it that almost everyone that is biracial from non English speaking countries also speak English fluently?! This woman is half Ghana and half Japanese, grew up in Ghana but she is speaking perfect American english! I see this in so many videos like this.
    14
  3769. An unforgettable experience indeed
    14
  3770. You are awesome. I taught computers and internet etiquette back in the early 2000's and that's how I done it as well. If people have fun while learning they will enjoy learning.
    14
  3771. This was very intriguing. It's a shame you were even asked such a thing but I guess it comes with the territory. It's a real eye opener to me as I've never really thought of this subject in Japan before.
    14
  3772. 3:28 it's Ask japanese wtf, you guys should've discussed a lot more xD
    14
  3773. I find it hilarious when people do this in Spanish (the only other language I speak). Like they have an undecipherable secret code... um, no, sorry, that's actually the fourth-most spoken language in the world you're using there.
    14
  3774. (06:38) Well, manga as a graphic novel has multiple literary genres; some more serious than others. Clearly some of us are consuming them, because the global market and sales of manga (and anime) keeps growing. Yes, there’s multiple sub genres that focus heavily in female body characteristics, but you’d be surprised that there’s plenty with a decent story plot within those genres.
    14
  3775. I would love to teach you American Sign Language
    14
  3776. 6:22 That man was basically jealous about your blond hair! 😆
    14
  3777. What you did for nomad push's Robin as really kind of you. Your simple act of kindness changed his life! Highest blessings.
    14
  3778. Eternal happiness to you two. Japan just re-opened, Pearl. A billion yen say that your parents are already on their way. 🛫🇯🇵🇺🇸
    14
  3779. I went for ear cleaning last year.. I wouldn't hear anything out of my left ear anymore, i was literally going insane. After the cleaning, it was like my ear was hearing for the very first time, all sounds were overpowering. If you have issues with your ears, go get them cleaned up, you will NOT regret it!

  3780. 😂 I’ve been to Japan a few times and I know Kabukicho is safer than where I live in sunny San Diego 😂.
    14
  3781. This was such a boost of positivity to my day! I couldn't stop myself from grinning while watching this and am so happy for you two! Congratulations :)

  3782. Everytime you release a new video I get new motivation to keep studying japanese. とても感謝しております。

  3783. Great to have new Oriental Pearl video. As always your production value's and topics are of the highest value. I enjoyed this video immensely. Your point on children was driven home on my first trip to Japan and first morning in Tokyo. My friends had lived in Asia for years and all spoke Mandarin to greater or lesser degrees. However, I was the only one who spoke any Japanese and that was very very basic. We decided to go for breakfast at an American style restaurant that was on second floor of a building. The only way to restaurant was via elevator. The four us were joined by a mother and her three or four year old son. I dress the same way I do every day western from my hat to my boots. My friends dress like any North American or Western European. So basically one these was not like any of the others. The young boy held tightly to his mother hand and tried to sneak looks at the strange looking guy in the hat, My friends wife asked if I knew how to say good morning in Japanese and I told her おはようございます or more informal おはよう. The young boys mouth fell wide open and he pointed at me and said he can speak Japanese to his mother. Basically, it was I can't believe any of these foreigners can speak Japanese, but it is the weirdest looking one who does. I said hello and how are you to young boy in Japanese, but he just shyly hide his face in his mothers skirt. We all exited the elevator and I said Goodbye in Japanese to mother and her son. The boy shyly waved goodbye and we all went on our ways. The encounter did indicate that my poor Japanese could be understood. Hope you find a position that suits your abilities, and I look forward to more of your content in near future.

  3784. Ive been subscribed to you for years, since the beginning of your channel. Watching your progress has been wonderful.
    14
  3785. Haters gonna hate. Much love to you and your awesome guests.
    14
  3786. I just wanted to thank you Ori Pearl for encouraging people like myself and many others learning into new languages during this Coronavirus pandemic. Keep thriving!
    14
  3787. I can't help but be put off by the choice of words in your channel name. 'Oriental' is largely outdated and historically inaccurate term, and it seems tone deaf that you as an American (from the "occident") would use such a Euro/ethnocentric term that has historically been used to otherise and exotify people from eastern asia in the US, defining 'the east' in relation to the default of the west (notice how absolutely no one uses the word Occident?). I'm not hating your content, just that the word feels cosmically wrong for such an international-oriented channel. I also speak both your three languages as my native tongues, and it kinda sucks for it to be under the banner of antiquated and politically incorrect language.

  3788. 満洲国雖日本人既忘之也甚久 因東北到于日本者頗多之未尽 It is so regret that most of Japanese almost forgot about the northeast while even normal Japanese have occasions to meet somebody from Taiwan and South Korea or to visit theｍ. The majority of people from China in Japan is still from the northeast but most of Japanese don’t notice about that. I am sure that most of american have never even heard of the northeast. But the history of northeast in modern era was so rich. China used to be opener to the foreigner and more cosmopolitan until the first half of 20th century than now. The cosmopolitanism was not only in Shanghai, but also, for example in Harbin where Manchurian, Mongolian, Han Chinese, Hui-Muslim, Japanese, Korean, Russian and refugees like Jewish from Europe used to live in the same city and the different cultures influenced each other like in NY or Berlin. Few people from the rest of world travel there and never considered it as travel destination although it is culturally and historically very interesting area on earth. Watching your videos reminds me of the first half of 20th century in the far east where people used to be more cosmopolitan than now, which I didn’t experience and know only from knowledge. In those days it seemed that everyone could make fool of each other‘s culture without hating each other.

  3789. Funny video. That dude is cool and easy going. Nice if people being themselves, and not try to fit in.
    14
  3790. This happens in other countries too, heck even in USA I've seen American's born in raised in America still treated like a foreigner even though they are 100% American but just because of genes are treated differently. The thing I'm happy about is he seems to have embraced it and doesn't seem to shy away from talking to everyone because it only helps the situation. I been binge watching another channel Karl Rock lately, he's from New Zealand living in India for many years now, married into an Indian family, embraced the culture, speaks Hindi well, and yet everywhere he goes people still think he's a foreigner and try to give him free stuff and all and he's like, no I'm not a foreigner! But yea it's not just a Japan thing. I just hope if I was in that situation that i would be cool about it and embrace it instead of letting it bother or annoy me.
    14
  3791. Thanks for raising awareness! It makes your channel even greater! Of course it's nice to see all the wonderful areas but every country, no matter how great it is and how much you love it, has its problems and it's important to talk about them as well to get the full picture. So thanks for doing this! ❤️🌻
    14
  3792. Grade A clip, excellent content and editing.
    14
  3793. Yes. They call it saving face." We always feign modesty; We're always fighting over the check after the meal for this reason.
    14
  3794. I like how they covered up the street markings exactly so you can still easily read them vs blocking them out :)
    14
  3795. Regardless of the difficulty and challenges of learning Korean, you still are amazing and extremely focus. Not anyone can do what you do. keep it up and have fun abroad. Charlton
    14
  3796. This was your best video yet, that I have seen. IMHO Because of how "comfortable" you were communicating with these men. They sensed it too which is why they invited you back. I'm kind of a new subscriber because I respect how brave you are to leave America and go to live in non-English speaking countries (for the most part), learn their language, eat their food etc. Keep up the great work as I am a big fan of yours. Steve and keep just being you!
    14
  3797. You were at Waseda University?! No wonder I keep getting ads for that school 😂
    14
  3798. And an another point, I'm pretty sure most of these guys don't actually "speak" these languages, they just learned a bunch of phrases and grammar rules along with some pronunciation. Nothing else. Just to show themselves they can actually speak with someone in a very exotic language. A thing that everyone can do in just 1 month or less. It doesn't encourage you, it doesn't show you how language learning changes you.
    14
  3799. That was a good video tbh And it’s so true when we just make one mistake we give up a whole dream I hope I won’t give up mine :”D Thank u for the great video!!
    14
  3800. she is so pretty and has so much charisma, no wonder shes a dancer. Perhaps im in love...
    14
  3801. Thanks for the great collaboration video! I’m glad you enjoyed karate!
    14
  3802. Charles is so cute , You can tell he really likes you 😀
    14
  3803. 4:06 This man instantly deserves respect.
    14
  3804. Gwailou or gweilo actually is a Cantonese terminology to refer to westerners. Its typically a derogatory term, however in this day and age I think its impact has subsided drastically. Source - I'm of Cantonese descent
    14
  3805. Knowing so much and speaking so easily, nevertheless ,with all of this, you remain so modest and meek ... I admire your personality . You show deep respect to Chinese people , we all must do the same .
    14
  3806. Love this! It is such a difference maker when you can learn a different language and get to interact with those kids! They will remember this for a long time!😁❤️
    14
  3807. I've often thought that. When they're speaking languages I don't speak, it seems impressive. But once they speak a language that I am proficient in - they are INCREDIBLY bad.
    14
  3808. Your videos and the fact that you are fluent in Chinese and Japanese after eight years, is a good example of why it is important for all young people to understand that it takes time to be successful in any endeavor. Start early, never quit, keep going, and lay up one brick at a time each day of your life. That's how you succeed at anything. You will reach your goals no matter how many bad days you have. The bad days will pass into obscurity, and you will achieve goals you never imagined when you started. The more effort, the better your success.
    14
  3809. When I heard you doing Vietnamese lessons at the beginning, I about freaked out...lol. I have no doubt you'll surpass my Cantonese and probably even my Taishanese speaking skills someday very soon. Enjoyed this video.
    14
  3810. ​ @ElectroMonkE do what I did, get my kids and wife cell phone and subscribed to her lol.
    14
  3811. The noises Tony makes when excited are so cute. ☺️🥰
    14
  3812. I envy you in a good way 😭. I love Japan and their culture. The Japanese seem so chill and nice.
    14
  3813. The "are you still watching" line at the end just told me you are definitely a beautiful soul inside out :) Have a nice day!
    14
  3814. I watch almost all your new videos from start to finish because your content makes me happy and gives me a smile.
    14
  3815. First I am subscribed my absolute favorite part of your videos is how grateful thankful and kind the people are when they hear you speaking their native language. And not only just speaking it but speaking it fluently. Makes me smile everytime I watch your videos. And I watch all your videos till the end.
    14
  3816. I really admire you. The fact that you're independent, out of your own country into foreign land, making new relationships, learning languages and speaking them fluently. You really are remarkable. Period.
    14
  3817. Myanmar looked beautiful. The temples and the statue of Buddha looked amazing. Thanks for filming that trip.
    14
  3818. Dang girl, you ROCK! You can just flip those two “hardest languages” like a flick of a switch. Sheesh! 😯 You’re def a polyglot. Coz if you can master Chinese & Japanese, the rest of the languages is just a walk in the park for you. Mamma mia!...Bravo chica! We’re def not worthy 😂🙇🏻... When I grow up, I wanna be like you 😝 Keep ‘em coming & stay safe out there, Michigan! 🙏🏼
    14
  3819. We knew you know three languages, if you get a chance to learn forth language what would you prefer??🤹🤹
    14
  3820. Thanks! I really enjoyed the video. I know the reactions are rare, but it’s always fun seeing their astonishment.
    14
  3821. Love your videos! I started learning Japanese on Pimsleur recently inspired by you! Hearing the conversations you have with good captions is great practice
    14
  3822. "Do you want to see my film?" GOTTA BLAST
    14
  3823. You are blessed to return home to a yummy treat!
    14
  3824. Some of these polyglots make me laugh. I can speak phrases from at least 10 languages; does that make me a polyglot? Nope... it just means I can find the bathroom in many different places. I speak English, Spanish, and Swedish fluently(ish).
    14
  3825. "The main goals of this channel are to entertain and educate." Done and done.
    14
  3826. Great video! I subscribed awhile back before you talked about learning Korean. I had started learning some basic Korean back then & continue to dabble. I like your style of videos & commentary which have given me tips in my language learning journey. I look forward to your Korea trip as well as continuing to watch your interactions and pleasant demeanor while chatting with people. 😊
    14
  3827. Iv been living in Japan for about 2 months now and it’s definitely different. Being a American living in Japan is quite challenging.
    14
  3828. 日本語は本当に面白いですね！でも、漢字はちょっと難しいです。ですから私は毎日勉強しています
    14
  3829. I have travelled a lot in the far east and i know that if you make the effort to learn the basics of their languages and respect their culture they are wonderful people, in fact i am more comfortable and feel safer in their cities than i do in london, trying to talk in loud pidgin english will earn you the utter contempt you deserve.
    14
  3830. "Only 29 languages," holy moly. Yes, speaking foreign languages should begin to be normalised. Great lipstick by the way!!
    14
  3831. i'm really impressed by how well you understand someone without asking to repeat, and immediately know what to respond with (i.e. you don't need time to process) and how to say it. did you study a lot before going to school there?
    14
  3832. This is like social, wholesome nanpa. I need to do more of this instead of sleazy nanpa XD
    14
  3833. You two "kids" are Exceptional!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for your videos!!

  3834. My favourite countryside memory was a solo train ride from Kanazawa where I was visiting friends to Wakura Onsen in Ishikawa because it was a filthy, rainy day and sitting on the train for a couple of hours to enjoy countryside views instead of walking in the rain seemed a much better idea. When I got there the train back left in 2 hours and much as I love onsens I was simply not in the mood to bother with a bath, so I opted for a coffee shop near the station to enjoy lunch and writing in my journal to pass the time. A group of men my age were at the other end of the shop and one of them worked up the nerve to satisfy his curiosity about me and "practice his English" with this only foreign lady. In turn I practiced my very limited Japanese. Surprisingly, we had a very nice chat and his buddies who could hear everything were visibly jealous. Well, he was a charmer. I'm sure it wasn't the first time they'd sat by and watched his game. After a while he reached over to pull out a glossy brochure about a wedding train that was "famous" in the area. I couldn't resist teasing him. "Is this a proposal?" I asked all deadpan. He blushed deep red and his buddies laughed like crazy. Of course, noting his shock as that's not what he was expecting I immediately said, "Joke, joke," and he looked immensely relieved. But it was a great laugh all around and I'm sure his buddies didn't let him forget it. You just have to open yourself to whatever happens and try to make other people feel good about who they are and where they live. It's not difficult. Not most of the time.
    14
  3835. I'd watch the 30min conversations. :)
    14
  3836. I’m first omg finally I know nobody cares but it’s my first time sorry
    14
  3837. Absolutely agree with Stuart and you. If you're not a native speaker, you'll never be perfect, but also native speakers aren't always perfect. I speak a few languages (German, English, Hebrew, Norwegian and French) on different levels of fluency. It's not in my intention to shock anyone. but to be able to hold some kind of conversation with people from different countries. I admire people who are able to hold such conversations, because it connects people and that's the fun of it. That's why I also watch your channel because of your ability to connect with people and in that way build bridges to other cultures.
    14
  3838. I found this very fascinating... Many people live a life this way, with a different background and born in another country. I myself have a duel citizenship. Thank you for sharing, as I would enjoy more like this seeing the surprised reactions like those in the video. (Congrats on the 1M)💕
    14
  3839. I can’t wait to go there when I’m older I’m leaving everything behind in America
    14
  3840. I’m getting my certificate in Japanese Language and Culture and this is the sort of job I want for a little if I get the chance to live in Japan. I would love more videos about this!
    14
  3841. I went to London with my mom some years ago, we stayed in a hostel and were having breakfast at the moment. We were speaking to each other to look for some food, then, when I was about to seat on the table, a guy spoke in português "vocês são brasileiras?/are you brazilian?" I was like omg who said that and started looking for that person. He then continued " Eu também sou./So am I" i finally looked in front of me, tô a Japanese man greeting me. He just started talking to me telling all his lifestory about his japanese Family that went to Brazil, he went back to Japan, now was travelling in London, and a lot of things about japanese language, everything in perfect portuguese and the other people around us were just staring like "wtf is happening" hahaha was too good.
    14
  3842. Learning Japanese: exist Anime watchers: I don't need subtitles anymore
    14
  3843. Yes, I am sure many language Youtubers are not submitting "non - reactions" which is fine in many regards, media like Youtube only works with the sensational dopamine stimulating material. These channels are certainly stimulating more Americans to learn foreign languages, it is so much easier now with all these better modes of communication.
    14
  3844. I’m convinced your part of the brain that controls language is so much more advanced than that of the average person like me. To be able to speak and understand Korean in such a short time is really remarkable. Safe travels.
    14
  3845. You've become a legit youtuber now, Hitting the 10 minute mark to perfection. The editing, the video length, all thats missing is an intro and outtro for the video. Glad to see so many more subscribers, keep 'em coming Anming
    14
  3846. Just started watching your channel and your husband seems sooo sweet, kind and a wonderful human being. Wish you both good health and endless happiness.
    14
  3847. Well done for highlighting these conditions. It’s sad to see elderly people ending their days like this, and such lovely people. The Japanese are proud of their country. Let’s hope somebody with the power to change things sees your videos and does something about it.
    13
  3848. That lady so funny! Is what I'm feeling...btw the japanesepod101 is really great just wish it wasn't so much for a month subscription but I understand why
    13
  3849. Omg that oji-san who sells cucumbers was sooooooo freaking adorable! 😍😍 He even gave you freebies 😊
    13
  3850. 저는 한국어를 배우고 있어요. Its been 2 months and I've covered a large amount of grammar. I'm determined to not give up and was further inspired by your video. Korean is quite a tough language but we all can learn it. Thanks for the inspiration ❤ Wishing you a wholesome journey in learning this language
    13
  3851. I love Richard. Been watching him for a while now. His father in law is a fantastic builder as well. Has some really cool miniatures he's done.
    13
  3852. Ive notice that the farther out i go from the US Bases here, the more interesting it gets.haha especially when i go travelling by Car seems like they've never seen a foreigner drive a car before.hehe Kids are incredible throughout Japan. Especially me being a private high school English Teacher and cram school. I also work at a Japanese tea shop with my wife's family business and they all surprise to see a foreigner working there.😅 especially when they try to speak English to me and admire my long nose.hahaha Awesome place. Hello from Saga.😊🗾
    13
  3853. You are a ray of sunshine, you know that? Your laugh is contagious, and I enjoy your videos- you're absolutely LOVELY! ❤
    13
  3854. Fascinating. A glimpse into literally a different world and culture: ‘Japan world.’ More please. Arigato.🙏🌞🇬🇧👊🙏
    13
  3855. Just goes to show that achievements are limitless when you put your mind (body and spirit) to it. And you made a new friend too❤️
    13
  3856. Absolutely great way to expand your channel to other aspects of Japan beyond reactions and food. When my son was taking karate I was involved as a prop holding on to the cushion shield while the master demonstrated a side kick. Although I thought I was braced for the kick, I was sent sprawling backwards knocking down a screen on my way down. Quite an embarrassing moment for sure. You look like a fighter that should get a colored belt soon.
    13
  3857. Thank you for showing us beautiful Taiwan. What a place!❤
    13
  3858. It was a treat seeing you on your Halloween stroll among the revelers.
    13
  3859. Just watched nomad push now you’re channel today is a great day!!!!thank you!!!
    13
  3860. I am so happy your parents were able to visit you!
    13
  3861. This video was very wholesome, I absolutely loved seeing everyone complimenting each other, hugging and wishing a Merry Christmas 😊🎄
    13
  3862. This clip is a little heavy! The recorded announcement and siren made me feeling sad. I have been to Sendai before and it’s a beautiful city, wondering how it looks now. And the tunnel venture is quite scary for me, you are brave indeed!
    13
  3863. Look forward to it!!!
    13
  3864. Congratulations! May all your differences bring you closer together and your new life as one be full of happiness!🥰
    13
  3865. puts pikachus eye on cake slice me: “wow it......*LOOKS* delicious”
    13
  3866. I love your positive attitude. I would love it it you could make a video to help those of us who are studying Chinese on our own. Some tips, etc.
    13
  3867. Very well done video as always, very informative as well.
    13
  3868. Oh this is amazing! I own three horses and I have always wanted to try horseback archery! Another super interesting video about Japanese culture. ❤️
    13
  3869. Loved this video so much, nice to see something out of the ordinary in a japan vlog, was lovely to see you so accepted and integrated into the family and learnt something new today that some Japanese are catholic awesome stuff ,Covid pending I may finally get to come and backpack at the grand old age of 49 in japan next year and these videos are truly enlightening ,thank you :)
    13
  3870. I just found your channel! Love to see another female solo content creator. Greetings! Is Anming your name?
    13
  3871. 2:22 Detective Pearl using her observational powers for good
    13
  3872. Congrats!! I am so happy for you, he's a lucky man and I wish you all the best in your life together 💯 It would be cool to see some more personal videos, especially with you and your future husband together, those won't be boring either 💯
    13
  3873. are you from the states your Chinese is great am going to be learning Japanese and have a disablity but I know I can do it :)
    13
  3874. 9:32 today's episode: "keeping it real" with Oriental Pearl
    13
  3875. You & your channel are so underrated. It astonishes me that real polyglots don't get nearly the amount of views as the "I can s̶a̶y̶ ̶h̶i̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶e̶ speak 15 languages" 'polyglots'. Keep up the amazing work!
    13
  3876. I never really thought kids were cute but holy shit some of the ones on this video are straight up adorable. This makes me want to learn the language and go there even more honestly! There were some cute guys in this video too, heh
    13
  3877. i hope you enjoyed your stay in korea! your korean doesn’t sound bad either it’s so impressive all the languages you know
    13
  3878. Hi Pearl, nice video. Love it. Your video is amazing. It is introducing different nationalities and unique cultures. For the guy, I give him a lot of respect. Same respect as yours. ☺️😊. His English accent is American,does not have a British one. A British guy speaking Japanese and American English. 😄😃👍👍👍... Keep up the good work...
    13
  3879. Some very visually impressive costumes in Tokyo. The people really get in to it there.Very enjoyable coverage here.
    13
  3880. Great video, very eye opening. That's a huge homeless encampment for no one to know. Hopefully with this videos ppl would know about it. I realize that most of this places the ppl are so friendly. Thank you for showing it this places.
    13
  3881. +Good content +Good editing +Listening practice for japanese learners Keep up the great work!
    13
  3882. I speak 4 languages including Japanese and Mandarin, and most of the time ppl just thought I am Japanese/Chinese because I do look like the locals, so I never really get the "your Japanese/Chinese is very good" lol. The only time I get that kind of phrase was when I visited Los Angeles, they said my English was very good, wtf. Blame my chinese heritage while being an Indonesian and married to a Japanese.
    13
  3883. Happy Birthday Alyssa 🌹
    13
  3884. Apps are good when used in addition to everything else
    13
  3885. You are so sweet, natural and honest. I really love your videos. You are an inspiration for everyone who wants to learn more languages. Your videos are so good for our current international state of affairs. We really need to celebrate diversity through mutual respect and appreciation. Every nation has its beauty through its people, language, food and culture. Much love from Romania, Bucharest <3
    13
  3886. It hurts me to think this could have been my grandparents or parents. The way they strive each day to survive and live with dignity and respect. It's impressive how self-sufficent they have become due to circumstance. The elderly couple absolutely warmed my heart. They're people just like you and I trying to make the best of what they have. It's a shame the other older gentleman had some bad luck. It's amazing how he said he was the first one living there and he's still out there doing the best he can, with stray cats to keep him company. I worry that another Typhoon may pass through, I really hope you're able to raise the funds for the homeless shelter in Shinjuku and it can possibly be of some solace to the great people you have shown today. 💜
    13
  3887. Now I understand why you go out to talk to people every day after viewing your Tokyo house tour
    13
  3888. It's funny how people perceive culture or language as something static, something that is finished in itself. Which is completely wrong, every culture, every language is constantly evolving and changing becoming more. With globalization we get intermingled cultures, languages, people 💖 we are all evolving.
    13
  3889. If I was in place of you, I would've already lost my appetite just by hearing the name, 'Tofu Brain'. 😖
    13
  3890. I find all of your interactions so adorable 😊
    13
  3891. You definitely already knew how to throw hands. But, like, you've been hella lowkey about it this whole time.
    13
  3892. I think it's because people expect someone who speaks a foreign language to have a high level of fluency and not basic level or know a few words or greetings. I love languages ❤
    13
  3893. I love how respectful everybody is in Japan. We sure could learn a lot from their culture in the U.S. Our political disagreements are no excuse to have turned into such a disrespectful society. Thank you for showing us these videos
    13
  3894. What a wealth of knowledge. You two are incredible.
    13
  3895. You are doing great with all these videos coming out. Love the content!!!!!
    13
  3896. Who the hell in their "right mind" is hating on this sweet, kind, adorable woman. Some people are just miserable human beings. Please know that I love you and so many others love what you are doing. You make me smile and I look forward to all your cool adventures. You are such a quality human being and are a vibrant spirit. Be well OP. xo
    13
  3897. Hey Anming love the video. I found your channel while I was quarantining with covid and I loved them. I am currently in my fourth year studying Japanese at my high school. While I’m not amazing it’s still lots of fun and seeing your videos only encourage me to work even harder. Seeing cool stuff of foreigners in Japan keeps my hopes up on learning my self. And with you being from the Detroit area just like me, it gives me even more hope! Lots of love, thanks
    13
  3898. This video is really very interesting 🤍🦋 You put so many efforts in this video for make us happy and glad how breifly you introduced about Japanese culture :D Jessica is really so cute and talented 🥀

  3899. You're amazing to follow "Anming"...your streams are always so interesting and inspiring. Thankyou once again. And stay safe.😘
    13
  3900. Ahh i started wanting to speak Japanese, but then I wanted to do Chinese instead! This video somehow is inspiring me to study both 😄
    13
  3901. Wow. You were very brave. Especially as a woman. I am 50 and I would have not taken the risk to take a look inside. Maybe it is the japanese culture. In other countries it would have been a lot more risky to do something like that. Be careful. Greetings from Thuringia, Germany.
    13
  3902. Been a fan of your channel from the beginning! Don't take a second thought about what others say. I truly believe the people you connect with and however you met them, are happy they got to have a conversation with you and get to know you!
    13
  3903. It’s that tribal thinking. All based in lack of knowledge....that bums me out to hear the things people ask you. Americans are taught that chinas the boogie man 🤦‍♀️
    13
  3904. Look how excited everyone is! This is so thoughtful of you two I can't help but smile myself! I hope you and your family and friends have a great new years
    13
  3905. I like that she even moves her hands and arms the same way Chinese ladies do when speaking Chinese. Talking about Chinese ladies riding the bus here in the US. You all know what I'm talking about.
    13
  3906. Hi I watched a lot of your videos now I find them very interesting and informative. I lived in Spain and spoke Spanish ok I think but wow Japanese and Chinese seems hard.
    13
  3907. 6:04 is the reason I keep coming back. What a pure soul. 😇
    13
  3908. This is going to be fun :p
    13
  3909. The thing is, sometimes people are surprised when someone speaks English. It all just depends on the audience and the context. For example, in the Korean entertainment world, fans often make a big deal out of a Korean celebrity speaking English when they weren't expected to. But if it's a celebrity who was born in and/or studied in an English-speaking country, it's not that big of a deal.
    13
  3910. Hilarious, enjoy the humor ♥️
    13
  3911. Looks like Halloween is larger celebrated than Australia sometimes. Looks amazing though.
    13
  3912. I'm so happy you were able to have your wedding at a church 😊 God bless you & Tommy 🙏🏼
    13
  3913. It was strange to see, knowing how things have changed behind the scenes. Your stress came through. Stay well our Eastern social reporter. Fingers crossed for Toby too.
    13
  3914. Keep it up and nobody will stop you yes I am right because we love your content and we watch your contents
    13
  3915. Thanks for sharing this with us! We forget that learning a language & the culture that interests us can help us know the beauty of a country. The more sincerity I think people see a foreigner’s authenticity in wanting to learn the people’s language we see that harsh picture being taken off little by little
    13
  3916. lol the way the guy in the suit & tie at 10:13 came up for a closer look XD
    13
  3917. I'm studying the Georgian language. It's difficult, but I'm doing it because I will move there soon. Your videos are inspiring. Keep up the hard work and I hope your thesis gets approved soon. Take care.
    13
  3918. When you started to check out the shops I was kind of sure Sayaka san would dress you up in Harajuku fashion. That'd be kind of cool and it sure would look... outstanding I'd dare to say 😉
    13
  3919. Stay open minded and you will grow......
    13
  3920. People lay their guards down, when you speak their language. Automatically, they start seeing you, as a "friend' and very relatable. You start seeing the glimpses💫 of smiles, and the twinkle😀 in their eyes. Globally, we; humans all the same, regardless of your ethnicity, religion, culture, race, or socioeconomic backgrounds 🌏
    13
  3921. To all the haters, just one word : jealousy. Personally I find it awesome to be so deeply invest in the culture of the country you decided to live in
    13
  3922. I love Japanese culture So much🥰
    13
  3923. My best memory of Halloween was me catching the last train and getting off at my station (Nishi Kasai) and a lady chased after me, tapped me on the shoulder and said "May the force be with you"... I was dressed as Obi-wan Kenobi.
    13
  3924. In 2018 and 2019, I was in Yokohama during their annual Oktoberfest. I was surrounded by Japanese people eating German food, while listening to an oompah band. It was surreal. The highlight was when the entire (mostly buzzed or drunk) Japanese crowd did the YMCA. The most unique cultural mashup I ever experienced in my two trips to Japan.
    13
  3925. All gorgeous people. Wish them all success despite the hardships and challenges.
    13
  3926. I was fascinated by the bamboo forest too! Another interesting video Anming.
    13
  3927. This was very interesting. Thanks for bringing us along! 💜
    13
  3928. I want to be like you not to be scared of communication with strangers. And I hope I will be You are my inspiration 🥰
    13
  3929. Watching from Australia :) chilling before I have to wash my dishes and go to bed.
    13
  3930. Your gorgeous footage of Miyajima and Kurashiki brought back great memories... despite studying Japanese on and off for 20 years and living in Japan for the last five, sadly I'm still not able to catch most conversations... but I refuse to give up!
    13
  3931. They aren't surprised because you use the mannerisms of the language you use I think
    13
  3932. Tommy is so supportive and AWESOME. I’m so happy 😊❤ that you have a partner who is SUPPORTIVE in your linguistic endeavors. You’re even risking your KOREAN now..I’m so PROUD. I am a loyal SUBSCRIBER Since the QUARANTINE and you use to teach CHARLES ENGLISH from home. Love your new adventures. I pray 🙏🏽 you and TOMMY have a blessed NEW YEAR 2023’.
    13
  3933. Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia and all the way down to New Zealand are located along the West side of the Pacific Ring of Fire of earthquake-prone area. So, Japanese and Taiwanese are used to frequent earthquakes, hence the indifference displayed by some people there.
    13
  3934. The reason why I want to stay living in the USA because that's where my family lives. I would like to visit Eastern Asia years after the corona virus pandemic is over.
    13
  3935. a lot of people say that you were paranoid but it’s still good to be safe 💝.
    13
  3936. Always a treat when I find time to watch one of your videos.
    13
  3937. Minnesota guy here, but happy to see you showing the improvement that's been happening in Detroit. Sure, there are problems, but that's never the whole story. I had a great weekend there years ago, and of course the UP is right up there with northern MN for beautiful landscapes.
    13
  3938. My love congratulations for taking care of you i love you 🇺🇸😍❤
    13
  3939. stage anxiety intensifies
    13
  3940. The editing is getting outrageously good. I love watching your channel and xiaoma. Thank you for doing YouTube. Love you 🥰
    13
  3941. Congratulations. You guys are so precious together.
    13
  3942. I think it's more about the failure of commercial result , not only political things... So many friends of mine went to Japan for travelling since the boarder was opened this year.
    13
  3943. and you truly are amazing at these languages, don't ever think you aren't!!
    13
  3944. Congratulations! I love these vlogs. Seeing little parts of Japan and learning how different somethings are is great!
    13
  3945. I guess complimenting someone is free and also gives a ‘jiayou’ effect. :D
    13
  3946. I agree. I really like TkyoSam. I found him one day and thought he was cool, despite not being as popular as.. other youtubers. Really like that you did a collab with him. I'm finding great youtubers thanks to you! Thanks for the content.
    13
  3947. When I was on my first non-bullet train ride to Shibuya from Haneda airport there were some preteens headed out for the weekend. They saw me and one pulled out his tablet and started googling tall white goofy-looking characters (the Michelin Man, the Stay Puft marshmallow man, etc.) then pointed at me and laughed.
    13
  3948. I will never be bored of these reactions 😀
    13
  3949. I agree with half of the argument and disagree with the other part. It's true that there are indeed fake polyglots and they definitely shouldn't claim they speak fluently this or that language. It is also wrong to mislead people and let them believe that they'll master those 5 languages in 3 months. However, the people you're talking about are really doing entertainment. At least that was crystal clear to me. Also I disagree with the fact that people to claim fluency should take years of language school, absolutely learn the writing system etc.I personally invest time and effort into the purely speaking aspect of languages because most of the time I'm more interested in the ability to use what I've learned in real-life situations when I travel or when I need to learn about a culture. I absolutely agree that learning the writing system gets you to another dimension, but to my opinion, it shouldn't be the stamp of fluency. I take evidence in my own native language, Wolof: it's mainly spoken, not written. I know many foreigners who achieved fluency in this language just by speaking it and bonding with natives, not by writing it or going to a school. In the same way, some native speakers might have great trouble discussing the 9/11 event academically (like from a sociological or international security point of view), not out of lack of fluency, but more because of the fact they're foreign to the academic discipline. All this to say that it really depends on the initial goals, levers, motivation and determination of the person. Frauds will be frauds!
    13
  3950. 9.05 I like how the guy behind you puts on his mask when he saw you're filming LOL Thanks for the vid and for sharing what New Year is like in Japan!
    13
  3951. The background music in this video is so effective.
    13
  3952. I guess first time people seeing you speak or doing something they probably didn't expect make them shock but once they know you on general basis,they will probably gonna make it casual and will not be surprised,the thing is that language learning is not that popular which is not right, by the way I learn many things from you videos 😃ありがとうございます
    13
  3953. I just want to learn Japanese and interact to japanese ppl. I love how they are very approachable and not racist :3
    13
  3954. You experienced a lot and I like your positive mind:)
    13
  3955. I tried archery before and even hit a bullseye but was mostly off target but your videos are informative and entertaining.
    13
  3956. I was so excited to hear that you started with Pimsleur! すごい! It feels so "old fashioned" to me, but at the same time it's the only audio course that actually feels like it teaches in the way that my brain wants to learn.
    13
  3957. My mom would clean out my ears every few weeks with the ear cleaning stick or bobby pin (eek!). As a kid I thought it was torture, but I'd love to have that done now. I guess Q tips will have to do, hope you got those chunky bits out!
    13
  3958. The only time you should be offended, is when you care about what the other person thinks... I feel that's mostly lost on the younger generation...
    13
  3959. I've just started my very slow journey to learning Japanese! I've been slowly working my way through learning hiragana and want to have both hiragana and katakana memorized before I take my first class this summer at my university. Things like this really motivate and inspire me! It's so cool seeing their reactions. I love how happy everyone looks when you can communicate with them in a language they're comfortable with!
    13
  3960. 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
    13
  3961. Happy Halloween! Shibuya seems so much fun this time of year. I guess they "cancel" it to avoid huge crowds like in Itaewon last year when people were crushed to death. Stay safe everyone!
    13
  3962. Don’t join any group tour~ That’s horrible!
    13
  3963. First of all, hanging clothes outside is not unique in east Asia, e.g. you can see that also in Italy. Secondly, those who offer a ride at the subway station actually had much better business years ago. It is exactly the thing you don't like - the shared bikes - that killed most of the rider's business. There used to be many more riders than you can see today.
    13
  3964. Anming- promoting a more inclusive and diverse Japan on a daily basis. Thank you!🙌
    13
  3965. "Imagine feeling like a foreigner in the country you were born and raised in" That's pretty much the case for many people everywhere in that situation who look different. And definitely not just westerners.
    13
  3966. I love your videos! I have been learning/teaching myself Japanese for a couple of years now. I love the culture, the food, the language, and country, everything! Thanks for such cool and helpful content! Keep em' coming!
    13
  3967. Looked like you all had an amazing time, and some cool treat boxes
    13
  3968. you and the other language content creators really inspire me to pursue learning another language!
    13
  3969. You should learn Arabic. It's also a very rich and difficult language to learn, like Chinese. It would be very surreal if you could speak Arabic fluently without an accent.
    13
  3970. Cool dude. Definitely need that carefree mentality in more people. Biggest issue with a lot of people, including myself sometimes, is caring too much what others think.
    13
  3971. Congrats to you and your man... great news so happy for you... onwards to life!
    13
  3972. You're a total babe anming.
    13
  3973. "Do you know boogie woogie?" Dr.K
    13
  3974. Always expect the unexpected. Even more important to respect them. :D
    13
  3975.  @OrientalPearl  You saying you learned Japanese in bars reminded me of a funny author bio in a comedy book about Japan. He said he mistakenly bought an airplane ticket to Japan and ended up stuck there until he had learned enough Japanese to ask for a ticket home. He learned by talking to hostesses in bars, but did not realise that men and women speak differently and he spoke like a women. So he switched to learning from sarariman in the bars, and now when he speaks Japanese he sounds permanently drunk.
    13
  3976. Thank you for the video! Looking forward to the series.! And I am sure that this is also helping you to keep speaking Japanese. 💕
    13
  3977. This is just such cool stuff LIKE ALWAYS. I am from Portugal, I learned some Japanese, I was never so insanely good as you are but I understand the feeling of not being asian yet being able to understand the local languages. My dream is to not have to work so I can have time to learn Mandarin. The world is so big, why limit oneself to their native language.... THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS. Please keep it up! You just can totally tell from people how nice it is for foreigners to speak their language. The smiles... so nice :)
    13
  3978. Awesome (as usual). Your personality is so honest and straightforward that I think you'd fit in with whatever culture you decided to live in. I sincerely wish you both all the best. (P.S. Being from the USA, you do realize we're expecting some Van Halen "licks" on the GUZHENG in the future).
    13
  3979. Here in the States, I have quite a different experience. I'll hear people speaking Thai, my second language. Since I don't look at all Thai, they don't know I might understand them. (Usually I don't tbh. My speaking ability is better than my listening comprehension). It's very awkward to go up and speak Thai to them, because they'll think I was eavesdropping. I usually just don't say anything, even though I would love to have a conversation in Thai. It frustrates me. If you ever come to the US to visit, I'd love to see how you handle that situation with Mandarin and Japanese speakers.
    13
  3980. That bark / bite prank was really funny 🤣
    13
  3981. mhmm love me some spicy content. 辛いですね ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉)
    13
  3982. I wonder if you saw my message about giving a gift to friend at their company by mail. i was shocked about that as it backfired and the boss was annoyed. So many culture things i need to learn.
    13
  3983. Is funny to see her going around scaring/surprising people with their language where they did not expect her to speak. 😂 It really open up a new world when you speak their local language.
    13
  3984. exactly the same in germany "Sauna"
    13
  3985. Thanks! I always enjoy interviews like this one.
    13
  3986. Honestly feel inspired by you to learn Japanese and Mandarin
    13
  3987. This must have been a fun experience! When I visited Korea, I hung out with another foreigner and we both spoke Korean to each other, lol. But it made sense that we spoke Korean since we had different native languages.
    13
  3988. This is different from your usual stuff. I love it. He seems like a good guy, he’s not disrespectful to anyone. What he does is a little on the peculiar side, but I don’t think he’s horrible. Edit: rap was cringe. Lol
    13
  3989. Love how personal your videos feel! Great friendly vibes
    13
  3990. I can get locals not being into old traditional stuff. I'm Romanian. If you ask most people about wearing traditional clothing and doing some ceremony stuff, they'll look at you like an alien. lol. There's also the "local effect". I lived in Toronto 15 years. It took me 14 years to finally go visit the CN Tower (Sky Tree equivalent). If you're a local, you dont wanna do touristy stuff, and since traditional Japanese things like kimonos are heavily advertised to tourists, the locals probably treat them as such (tourist attractions).
    13
  3991. I am so happy for you!
    13
  3992. I was always curious to hear this tale! ^_^
    13
  3993. I've always heard it said... "Keep the south beautiful, put a yankee on a bus"
    13
  3994. Another Homerun Interview Pearl, thank you 👍
    13
  3995. It must be fantastic speaking the 'local' language. Big respect.
    13
  3996. Hello there! I thought I would never comment anything on your channel but I’ve been watching you for a couple of days and really like your content and your uplifting personality. Thought it was the right time to send some love and appreciation! It must be hard being away from your love. I am currently away from my grand mother who is basically dying in the hospital and quarantined...this is heartbreaking. But I chose to smile and keep being positive. The world definitely needs happy people and some good energy! More than ever! Wishing you all the best and thanks for making your videos. They really have a great impact. Take care of yourself sunshine! 🧡
    13
  3997. Obviously it’s amazing that you learned Japanese and Chinese so well, but it’s also awesome how flawlessly you code switch between them! I don’t speak any other language fluently, but I know Spanish and Hebrew conversationally. Any time I try to speak in one, I inevitably mix the 2.
    13
  3998. People in Japan… Intrigued about foreigners. Appreciate pretty ladies. Curious to see non-natives speaking their language. So Anming is the perfect combo for people to 👀 at! :D
    13
  3999. You said don't just hang out with English speakers when you are in another country. When I was a student in Toronto, an Iranian guy arrived from Iran, and he decided not to spend his time within the Iranian community but to hang out with us English speaking Americans and Canadians. We became best friends while we were there, so it turned out to be a great choice he made for both of us.
    13
  4000. I grew up speaking Arabic and whenever i see those polyglots speak it im always confused because none of it sounds Arabic and the people spoken to they freeze and just nod along.
    13
  4001. I'm really enjoying the crossover. It's got elements of a travel vlog, tales of romance, a little bit of everything. 🙂
    13
  4002. I watched this because my kids are born and raised in Italy, although because I'm British and my husband's Irish they are a linguistic and cultural mix. I think this is going to become more and more common and it's good to hear people discussing their experiences. Listening to you speak English, you do have a Japanese accent, but not very much at all.
    13
  4003. love these video. I love when ppl want to learn how to communicate with ppl from different cultures. U bring the world together 1 video at a time 🥰... Love from Arizona, USA ❤
    13
  4004. Celebrating Christmas in Japan means being in an inexplicable parallel world 🤔🇯🇵😂🎅 And I love your hair 😍😉
    13
  4005. Are you Yakuza? Such a great comeback. Love it. Maybe next time when a dirty old man offer his help and says I can fix anything for you...just tell him that's fine I am being cared for by the Emperor
    13
  4006. Great video! I found this channel some time ago while looking for Japanese language content, but the thing I like the most is your positivity and your ability to integrate, to share the moment with people around you, and to get lots of smiles from all these people.
    13
  4007. Seeing you at the beginning of your Korean journey is honestly so inspiring. I want to keep seeing updates over the years until you’re fluent 🥰 hopefully I can keep up as I continue learning Japanese!
    13
  4008. Thank you for a charming interview and tourist tour. Can't wait to visit Japan.
    13
  4009. I live in Japan for 3 year and yeah everyone is very funny and kind i always respectful to them
    13
  4010. You're wearing a lovely outfit!
    13
  4011. Damn! You can't go anywhere in Japan without seeing a ninja! Oh, that's just a dust mask...nevermind.
    13
  4012. Lately...when I hear Japanese being spoken, I literally start crying because of how badly I want to go to Japan and become fluent once and for all. I definitely cried tears of inspiration during this video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! 🙏 (PS: I subscribed as soon as I found you!)
    13
  4013. I dont see an ad. Did the youtube bots pick up the you know what problem 😂
    13
  4014. I became a member on Japanese pod because of your videos and encouragement! Not only that but you gave me that push to enroll in a language school in Japan to study and learn Japanese! I’ll be heading to Japan this upcoming January, you’re content is amazing
    13
  4015. thats why we're here! You keep doing you! :-)
    13
  4016. Im so happy you posted this! You in general, really inspire me to speak and learn japanese <3
    13
  4017. This is so cool.. a bit of China, a Bit of Japan and still a whole heap of Detroit.
    13
  4018. Was surprised to see her accept the tip on camera. I've seen employees chase after foreign customers to return tips several times in Japan... imagine that happening in the US lol. I just assumed tipping is not accepted anywhere there after that. Are there certain establishments where tipping is more openly accepted in Japan?
    13
  4019. Everyone is having FUN , love it 😀
    13
  4020. You have enough edits to keep it interesting until the end.
    13
  4021. You’re so inspiring I love youuu
    13
  4022. Omg belated congrats to you guys! I wish this video had been longer, but it also made me happy that it was just snippets, because it seems like you were enjoying your time more than focusing on filming every moment. I can't wait to see part 2! Watching your wedding story and new years with your in-laws has made me feel so warm and fuzzy! 💖😊💖
    13
  4023. Hell yeah new vid
    13
  4024. I have been to Osaka many years ago and worked for a large Japanese company in the United States. I never knew about this problem. I am a fan of Mr Nomad San. I’m subscribing to your Channel from his recommendation. Nice report.
    13
  4025. I'm a British guy living in Japan and speak Japanese. Yeah Japanese people are just really nice and friendly and normal, you know, like other humans lol. Elderly neighbors sometimes just randomly give you gifts such as fruit. 🌞 (also your Japanese internation is amazing!)
    13
  4026. 7:48 that manhole cover activated my OCD instantly 🤣
    13
  4027. I use OP as an effective balm to treat the unsettling results of reading the morning news.
    13
  4028. when the kid slapped his friend i died ahhahaha i mean honestly i would too
    13
  4029. Hell yeah! I love your Halloween videos every year!
    13
  4030. Your flat mates are so accepting and encouraging!!
    13
  4031. The reaction from those guys outside at the end was the best! That's how I thought everyone would react! Those guys at the end were amazed!
    12
  4032. You make a lovely couple. Congratulations on your (legal) marriage!
    12
  4033. Tommy is so Lucky that she find so beautiful nd adorable life partner... Stay blessed both of u 💕💜💜
    12
  4034. I went to Finland and I was really impressed on how effortlessly they speak English. You don’t really notice an accent. Finnish seems very difficult.
    12
  4035. フレンドリーに話しかけてくれる方はとても好きです！そしてめっちゃ嬉しい(●︎´▽︎`●︎) 外人の方はカッコよくてついつい目で追ってしまいます…😊👍
    12
  4036. i love your channel!! and thats sad that theyre so strict😂😂😂
    12
  4037. "half people" 👎double people! 👍
    12
  4038. 😂Anming, you really did a great job at capturing the energy of that night!! It was so much fun!! My video is coming out in the next hour!
    12
  4039. This Polyglot lifestyle is so cool!! i don't understand how people can hate on it? if you have this sort of talent you have every right to show off, but I understand how you shouldn't brag about it use it as a chance to improve instead... but it's a lifestyle myself and i'm sure many other people dream of. Good luck to any other people chasing this aswell
    12
  4040. This is all one big bruh moment.
    12
  4041. I've seen less photos taken at a wedding :D
    12
  4042. Why has my listening and comprehension increased by 100% when I started watching you? I’ve only been learning Chinese for 4 years and I am in AP Chinese in high schools right nowz
    12
  4043. Wow that YouTuber dude was really friendly, your conversation put a smile on my face hahaha anyways, your videos are awesome and an insiparation for myself. This year I plan to take the JLPT N3 (passed N5 in 2017 and N4 in 2018), but in my country the virus situation is critical so I hope that the exam won't be postoponed to next year. In any case, thank you for the wonderful video!
    12
  4044. Your channel is growing so fast! Please keep making these videos, they're really good. By the way, I think it'd be cool to do a video on how you study Chinese and Japanese.

  4045. Bless you both for doing this. You're absolutely amazing. ❤
    12
  4046. Very interesting. I remember meeting homeless people in Fukuoka and one person in particular who collapsed inside the launderette. After myself and another lady got him back up and he’d drunk some coffee, I found out he lived in the local park near my home in Fukuoka. And that he’d become displaced after the 2nd world war. There were many ex-military that became homeless too.

  4047. いつも楽しみにしてます！ 中国語と日本語とても上手で尊敬してます！
    12
  4048. You guys are adorable ❤ Tommy is braver than I am taking the L!!
    12
  4049. Thanks for sharing the cultural nuances to us foreigners! Another great video!
    12
  4050. I think people take their mother's language. For example my father can speak Mandarin but my mother only knows Chinese dialect Teochew Cantonese and little Mandarin. But i have heard Mandarin Is not the actual Chinese language used in ancient and medieval times. Actually Hokkien (Fujianese dialect) was the Chinese dialect that was used during the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court when Japan had contact with China diplomatically. They still borrow some loan words from it in japanese. So mandarin was simply used during the Republic of China decided to be used as the official language of China so that there was a common language people throught all China could share and use. So overseas Chinese diaspora would miss out on learning Mandarin unless they were dedicated to Studying in chinese school, or they used it with neighbours or was their mother tongue by chance (taiwanese mother or something ) .
    12
  4051. imagine japanese meeting the germans or dutch!
    12
  4052. Finally Mario and Peach married. Makes sense. 😂
    12
  4053. I'm so fascinated by ppl like yourself that are so good at learning and educating people about other languages so definitely good for you and you definitely have a new subscriber I've always wanted to learn Japanese as I love the culture but it seems like it would be so difficult.
    12
  4054. "2 blondes walk into a bar speaking fluent Japanese." You know where I'm going with that. I love the concept of the public piano
    12
  4055. I’m really impressed with the spoken Mandarin of the Japanese cashier at that convenient store you went to. I would’ve just assumed she was a native Chinese working there.
    12
  4056. You do make me laugh. My wife and I love your vids. Bless you. 😘
    12
  4057. life is damn short，so be happy everyday！let by gones be by gones，you are the most energetic american girl l have ever met in my life！
    12
  4058. There is the reason why food packaging in Japan is so complicated. In 1984, there was an extortion case directed at confectionery manufacturers by contaminating with potassium cyanide in their products. Since then, manufacturers have tightened up their packaging. Criticizing them for excessive packaging is missing the point, as it's necessary to protect the safety of consumers.
    12
  4059. I want that rainbow piano more than I've ever wanted anything else.
    12
  4060. Anming heartiest congratulations 💛 YK I am so happy for you 💗 Can't wait for this video
    12
  4061. You were brave getting in amongst that crowd, it looked so packed.
    12
  4062. This was wholesome! I had this experience MANY times in Korea and Japan. I got better in both languages thanks to the kids being brutally honest. They also took photos and video with me, too, to practice their English. I miss those days.
    12
  4063. omg so cool! i'll be in south korea this April! are you planning on doing fan meeting maybe? :)
    12
  4064. Riding a bike in a skirt , that’s class , another fabulous video by the oriental pearl :))
    12
  4065. You are incredible. I could never remember the phrases even with tutoring! You do realize that you are the cause for the glitch in the matrix. 😊
    12
  4066. hi pearl, for some reason seeing you can memorize all kinds of languages makes me jealous oh yeah maybe you should also visit places in other parts of asia like my country Indonesia. Pearl fans 💕
    12
  4067. I'm happy for you guys ❤❤❤
    12
  4068. This video makes me speak Japanese confidently now because before I wasnt sure if I was speaking it correctly this video also helps people boost up your confidence on speaking to different people! 🥰
    12
  4069. Girl own who YOU are! ♥️
    12
  4070. I love how your parents try to communicate with each other. Also the last sentence of this video made me laugh so much
    12
  4071. Honestly since you hear so many comments about people thinking you’re from Russia, you should learn Russian and trick them into believing it at first and then being like no I’m American 😂
    12
  4072. He seems like such a cool guy, I'll definately subscribe to his channel
    12
  4073. After watching about a half dozen of your videos, I finally realized who you reminded me of... the lovely tennis champion Steffi Graf..
    12
  4074. If it was me in the case of the earthquake, i would panic, like: "Oh my god, the earth is moving, okay, breath breath, why doesn't this stop? This is normal... Just stay still, like the other people" ahaha
    12
  4075. I wish that lady was my grandma. She’s so CUTE ☺️
    12
  4076. Merry Christmas!✝️❤️
    12
  4077. I get the opposite reaction. Born in Japan, look Japanese,raised in America, don’t speak Japanese well, living in Tokyo and people give me this weird look. Why doesn’t he speak and understand Japanese?
    12
  4078. I love the face you give to Americans. Other countries see us in such a bad light, a few ppl deserve it, but all-in-all, we too, are a good people
    12
  4079. Another great vid! Keep up the korean practice, you got this!
    12
  4080. The guy who was born in Peru, his grandmother is Japanese and he is one quarter Japanese, he is funny! It was interesting to hear about the mixed race girl Pia, whose mother is Japanese and father is Swedish. I enjoyed the video!
    12
  4081. Question: The school system there; how would she compare it to the American system?
    12
  4082. 希望你在台灣玩的很開心!!!
    12
  4083. Your videos just make me happy. Japan and it’s people make me happy. Thank you for making these!
    12
  4084. “I’m not considered to be that pretty in my country” omg lol she’s awesome that made me laugh.
    12
  4085. A trip down memory lane. The katana kill bill action on the street is still one of the best moments! What a great way to connect and have fun with others 😅⚔️ Also, on the title topic I would like to say it’s normal to be curious about things different than you and try not to get discouraged by the 1% of bad experience if you have it. Try to see the bright side of the 99% 😇
    12
  4086. As someone who physically can’t eat a lot, Japanese portions look perfect! I always feel guilty when I leave food behind in restaurants in Ireland
    12
  4087. The dog attack was ADORABLE!
    12
  4088. I just want to watch your videos all day long.😭😭😭 Love u from Israel🇮🇱💜
    12
  4089. I love you guys' energy and personality. That Chinese shared apt was a good deal but looked like a daily struggle. I am trying to figure out a way to live there for a year or two myself with my girlfriend after I graduate. Been to Japan four times, but have never lived there.
    12
  4090. Truly impressive you can speak all those languages fluently. I studied Chinese and made no progress. Have been studying Japanese for almost 10 years and married a Japanese woman in 2018. Despite daily listening/reading, and weekly lessons, I am nowhere near fluent. So frustrating! How have you managed to master so many languages?
    12
  4091. I like how you have actual honest-to-goodness conversations. Talking about where you learned a language and how long you have been learning get a bit dull after a while, but's that mostly all you we from some of the other YouTube channels. I found the thing about the lack of trash cans genuinely interesting.
    12
  4092. Congrats Anming!! So happy for you! Much love and abundance in your new life together!
    12
  4093. Glad to see some more reaction videos. I don't know why. Somehow they're just a lot of fun.
    12
  4094. Just started watching your videos. Love the content! Keep it up!
    12
  4095. Congratulations and best wishes for the future. Love the tiny apartment!. Living in England, it sickens me how wasteful we are of living space, space equals status so bigger is automatically better to most people. Design-and-build dreamhouse TV shows emphasize this. With energy price hikes the cost of heating them must be huge, never mind the environmental impact. And councils or housing associations who design and build small living spaces in cities are criticised for creating 'substandard' accommodation.
    12
  4096. This video was so lovely, I'm glad your parents got to come to Japan! I'm looking forward to the continuation, thanks as always :)
    12
  4097. Haha, you get invited by a homeless guy in a poor slums inside and you accept, your crazy. I'm just kidding though, again this is something that because of Japanese culture is far less risky. Despite their circumstances is very nice and I love how the guy knew why you were filming and wanted to show you it's not as bad as people may believe. Like always Media tends to cherry pick the worst of the worst situations and images and to make things seem worst then they really are and Social media tends to only show worst images because that's the ones who get peoples attention and go viral. I really enjoy these type of videos, when youtubers show the "real" places without all the filtering and cherry picking. I think problem with media is they focus on extremes for ratings but there are a ton of us who want to see the real situation and experiences, without focusing on the .01% of most extremes that isn't the norm.
    12
  4098. It's heartwarming watching this: love and respect for one another breaking barriers. Hope our friends from America can watch this channel and see the reactions of the Chinese people towards Americans. Your hatred will thaw like ice.
    12
  4099. This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all week. I loved how happy he was. It really made me happy too. This video was exceptional!
    12
  4100. "Anytime is fine for me" vs "It doesn't matter what time" This kind of comparison is real in any language, holy heck. Loved this emphasis
    12
  4101. Hey Anming. I always enjoy how easily you interact with people from all backgrounds. Show us a little more of Seoul why don'tcha? You need to be on our screens more often!
    12
  4102. When you said on a previous video that you'd be posting an interview with another language YouTuber, I knew it was going to be Matt vs Japan because of the discussion about early output. I agree with you on that btw. You have to train your mouth for a new language. As long as you stay aware of the pitfalls of developing bad habits, it's best to practice right away. Very stoked to see this video once I get a break today 😻
    12
  4103. Videos comes and goes but Safety is number 1.. Hope You and Tommy are Ok since the Earthquake.. Continue Success From NYC Manhattan ❤️💋
    12
  4104. I’m so happy for you guys!! Let your marriage be happy and blessed.
    12
  4105. It would be interesting to see how Charles’ progress has been from the first weeks he was your student to now
    12
  4106. Thanks for making this video and I loved it. Thank you
    12
  4107. I think everyone should be at a healthy weight and take care of their body, but shaming someone is never the way. It still is their own choice at the end of the day.
    12
  4108. I love your videos. It keeps me inspired to keep learning Korean. I’d like to talk to locals when I go visit Korea… that would be so much fun.
    12
  4109. Stay safe and its all gonna end soon . if you have time and you feel bored there is a streaming app called Younow people can come and talk but not many of them really taking the virus thing seriously. Just I thought this may help you kill time and talk to people. I made some friends from there.
    12
  4110. 0:32 as soon as he opened his mouth, i knew he was finnish :D Finnish people know what i mean...
    12
  4111. Omg, both of you speak perfect Mandarin even better than me
    12
  4112. I love it! You’ve done a great job with the space.
    12
  4113. Looks like the YouTuber community in Japan is quite small, you guys know almost everyone and seem to get along pretty well, that’s nice! 😊
    12
  4114. what is meaning of anming?
    12
  4115. You go girl!! You’ve definitely got me beat. I lived in Suzhou about 3 years and my Chinese is no where near as good as yours. However, like you, I received many compliments on my pronunciation. Over the phone, people didn’t even know I was American. But for some reason in person they all of a sudden couldn’t understand me lol. They seem to automatically assume you cannot speak Chinese. I had to laugh at the silence in the restaurant. I had that happen many times when I picked up chopsticks with my left hand and ate my meal like any normal Asian. God I miss China!!
    12
  4116. You’re a good multilinguistic person and I’m actually wowed at how good you are at speaking Japanese and Chinese
    12
  4117. I love watching inter marriage videos because I learn more about the exchange of cultures, habits, and personality in it. This reminds me of Jun and Rachel (another Youtuber in Japan) and Joey and Akidearest.
    12
  4118. I’ve been following your channel for a while now, and I love it ❤❤❤❤❤ How you present different situations in Japan that you take me into your heart of Japanese life, truly beautiful. Thank you so much ❤
    12
  4119. Congratulations to both of you! And just a side note. I wouldn't say your approx. 62 sqm apartment is a tiny one. Of course, everything is a point of view, but wherever I would be in the world that apartment is a decent size even with a child too. But if you could afford a bigger one why not. :) But I love it. Enjoy your time there.
    12
  4120. All these food shops are making me hungry and craving Chinese food. 😋 Self quarantined in California- need to find some place that delivers! 🍲🥟🍙🥮
    12
  4121. Things are looking better then other parts of the world 😀
    12
  4122. Many congratulations on making a match made in heaven come true in Japan! 👰🤵
    12
  4123. This is probably my favorite video that I've seen of you so far. It really shows how strong of a person you are and how strong your Independence has made you. That really shines out in almost every video I've seen you make is that you are a very strong person and you always seem to find a positive from a negative. I admire that in you. It can be overwhelming to be in a place that you're not familiar with or to be alone in a place that you're not familiar with and have to deal with every situation as it arises. I admire your strength in that. By the way tell your boyfriend I said hi I enjoy seeing him in the videos as well. I have heard that Japan has an extreme problem with its people dealing with loneliness and depression. So I am happy for you that you have someone. have a great day and I look forward to more videos from you.
    12
  4124. Love you so much, you have a such big heart and charming personality, always down to earth.
    12
  4125. We had a family friend from Hong Kong who raised me off and on whenever we weren’t stationed anywhere else so I would speak Cantonese/Mandarin a lot. I moved away for good when I was 6 and because spoke it so often I got put into a class for English conversion on accident! I will say tho, I made a lot of friends in the Chinese to English group
    12
  4126. Such an adorable couple! So lovely to see Tommy experiencing Detroit for the first time!
    12
  4127. Wowww this brings back memories of playing with beyblades when i was a kid 😍
    12
  4128. That’s it... you’ve officially inspired me to learn Chinese. Wish me luck y’all 😣✨
    12
  4129. Very interesting to see the specific details needed to work in Japan. I’d be too afraid to make mistakes and get fired 🙁
    12
  4130. It looks like a lot of fun! Kill Bill is such a classic.
    12
  4131. I heard a story of an American, fluent in Chinese, who worked with a Chinese company in China for a year. He had interpreters and pretended to not speak the language. During the course of his stay there was plenty of snark and insults directed his way (in Chinese) and when his time there was up they had a going away dinner for him and he gave a nice speech in perfect Chinese. Apparently, there were a few downcast faces in the crowd as they tried to remember what had been said in front of him. Great video. Just subscribed!
    12
  4132. It's not just your language abilities, your attitude makes people want to know you. Friendly and polite means a lot in Asia. I speak Thai everyday, not perfectly, but Thais love it. And they always do nice things for me, but I don't ask them or expect them to. I learned "one sentence" when I was in Japan, and people would talk to me.
    12
  4133. This actually IS amazing. Good job! Very inspiring as well. Keep it up!!
    12
  4134. This channel deserves more subs. A real legit of high level in 3 languages. 💪🏻 It always motivates me to strive learning にほんご
    12
  4135. Another fantastic video - so interesting.
    12
  4136. Honestly think your language can be such a great bridge for promoting cultures in an engaging and fun way using “language surprise” as the catalyst
    12
  4137. This is in stark contrast to your usual videos, but I appreciate what you've shown us, as this is something that I think few people know about. I'm no exception! Thank you!
    12
  4138. I ended up with a silly grin on my face 😂😂. That was just sooooooo good ! 🖖
    12
  4139. 4:43 I cant stop laughing lol. That kid lol Plot twist: that lady heard what you said and is grateful, but Japanese standards she turns those thoughts away and says she isnt great
    12
  4140. Awesome advice Anming. I never liked classroom learning like that. I had a lot strict teachers in my day. I don’t think I could put up with that now. Love your videos!
    12
  4141. I found from my time living in the PRC that it's relatively easy to get them to think you know more Mandarin than you do. If you're using roughly the right tones and using any correct measure words, you're probably going to have a relatively tough time convincing them that you're a low level speaker. And if you're mostly using the same phrases over and over again, it gets even harder.
    12
  4142. Im not a japanese, or living in japan, im not even speaking japanese but i really can relate to japanese way of communication with saying "hi hi hi" thing when talking because it shows that im listening because i know its disrespectful if you ignore them and i dont want them to feel it.
    12
  4143. Thanks Anming, this is a very interesting day in your working life. It's good you are in a company who tolerate the occasional mistake and allow you to learn from it, it's also good you have a short commute. Most of the jobs I've had over the years took 30-45 minutes to get to the office. You are often packed in a London Underground train so tightly you can barely move.
    12
  4144. Girl PLEASE, the hater’s are a minority and everyone has them so don’t waste precious minutes of your life on them. The majority loves you and appreciates you❤️
    12
  4145. Stoooop you’re going to make me cry 😭 I’m so happy for you! The wedding looked beautiful, and it looked like the 2 of you had a blast! Looking forward to the next video ☺️
    12
  4146. "Frog on Cow Action." Good name for a rock band.
    12
  4147. Incredible life. You stay in Japan but speak Chinese everyday with your roommate 🤣
    12
  4148. I always catch people speaking about me… In English though.
    12
  4149. And for the record oriental pearl you are really beautiful just going by your looks easily a 10, as far as your personality I can’t speak on that because I don’t know you personally but on Channel you seem pretty nice and normal lol
    12
  4150. Probably the most owesome video in the whole series. Breaking down the stereotypes of Japanses being unfriendly to foreigners. All you need to do is speal a little of their language (or anyones language for that matter). It seems to open doors to peoples hearts as if it were magic.
    12
  4151. Ughhh I would love to go to that store she took you to!
    12
  4152. Both of them make me want to study more and more🥺
    12
  4153. I'm so impressed! I really want to learn chinese and japanese😊I'm only fluent in 3 languages swedish,english and german but those are easy to learn,asian languages are much harder. But I do respect your impressive talent with languages👍
    12
  4154. damn the streets are so clean! u could sleep on them
    12
  4155. My mother was like you in reverse. She grew up in Java Jakarta around the time of WWll. Her Family were ethnic Chinese merchant class so she grew up with servants and of course spoke Mandarin and Indonesian but was taught English by British nuns from a very early age. Also because Indonesia was a Dutch Colony she learned Dutch and it was spoken a lot around her. It was expected from her class within the society. She could really speak Dutch well. When my ex-wife and I took her to the Netherlands to visit family she was excitedly speaking Dutch to everyone who'd converse with her! I should point out that my mom is one of the smartest people I've known in my life. Constantly voraciously reading retaining everything huge vocabularies and perfect pronunciation. My mom never sounded Asian (not that that's bad when she arived in America in 1954 never to return to Asia she spoke English with an English accent because of the British Nuns. What's funny though is that she always had these ingrained mannerisms and way of laughing that I heard Dutch women replicating 🤷 funny. So I'm 63 and my Mom died in 2010.
    12
  4156. Love watching your videos , I'm from Michigan too 😀
    12
  4157. I really want to congratulate you for your courage. It is really not easy to talk to random people on the streets in such difficult languages. We do the same in China for our channel, but only in Chinese haha you are great!!
    12
  4158. I’m catholic myself too, I was very impressed with that church and structure. Also grateful to be part of your journey, thanks A lot🙏🏼💙
    12
  4159. loving the good vibes from the natives hanging out with the foreigners, pure joy.
    12
  4160. My first trip to Japan was in Fukuoka. I visited all the places such as Yufuin , Kumamoto, Oita, Hakata City and many more. Cant wait to re visit them. I love Fukuoka. Btw great vid again 😁😁
    12
  4161. Ive been a subscriber for a while now and decided I will make a comment on how much I enjoy your videos. This one especially is wholesome and it gives you an insight to what its like for a foreign family to grow up in a foreign country and live like a native. Keep up the great work. Much love from South Australia
    12
  4162. 0:55 the cashier's voice is the cutest thing i've ever heard
    12
  4163. Oh okey i thought u were standing on the street with a sign so they can talk to you and give money for it like a street artist. 🤣 i am not joking i thought this from the thumbnail. 😆
    12
  4164. Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate.. love one another!! 𝕃𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕝 𝕒𝕤 𝕒𝕝𝕨𝕒𝕪𝕤!!
    12
  4165. I love how you make things look simple, that you talk about reality that most of the times spiced up on YouTube for entertainment 🔥Your simplicity and honesty makes me inspired to learn languages and not get disappointed if I’m not as good as some person on internet 🙏
    12
  4166. Congrats on the upgrade!!!
    12
  4167. That was beautiful! I loved the blending of the cultures and how honored the parents must of felt.
    12
  4168. Not gonna lie. Finnish looks like it would be really difficult to learn 🤭😱🤯.
    12
  4169. Suomi🇫🇮
    12
  4170. Awesome video. What a peek into a unique situation.
    12
  4171. The "Normal day In Tokyo" killed me 😂😂😂 i love your sense of humor and thank you for another great video!
    12
  4172. You have very gorgeous bright shining angel eyes
    12
  4173. really enjoy your channel, please keep doing what you do!
    12
  4174. It's so strange... I'm 60 years old and went to dance school when I was young. Ballroom, square dancing, that whole thing. While I'm not a so called rap fan, I absolutely love hip hop dancing! I appreciate so much the transfer of music to movement to express your enjoyment of music. Your friend gets after it Man!! I love it! Your friend Blondie has a vid in Harbin and this very old man started dancing for her and it was absolutely precious! There's a video out on YT also of an oriental grandfather dancing with his granddaughters... it is inspiring. I hope your friend stays with it because until it's taken away by physical ailments it is the most enjoyable expression in life! I miss it so. What a great video once again Anming. Keep 'em coming!
    12
  4175. I really enjoy the overall positive energy of this video. More please!
    12
  4176. this is 9 minutes of pure wholesome fun. This makes me happy, I need to move to Japan
    12
  4177. So many people go to japan or korea expecting easy asian girls. It’s unfortunate. Lots of my friends in korea mention that they’re often hit on or assumed that they’re easy. They’re human too.Another friend of mine in the Philippines experiences it often too
    12
  4178. Congratulations on your 30 day challenge... you're the best at what you do ❤
    12
  4179. 🎃That looked like it was so much fun Anming ! Your Cosplay was so kawaii, and your Moms too 🌸🌸😊
    12
  4180. If one can speak to someone's brain, they will act towards you with reason, if you speak to someone's heart they will act towards you with love.
    12
  4181. Thailand is similar. They will ask your weight, tell you that I are too fat and ask how much you make
    12
  4182. Now i need to buy mangosteen
    12
  4183. I'm always really happy when a foreigner or visitor chooses to adopt or share parts of Australian culture. It's probably the ultimate form of flattery -- that someone from another country loves your culture so much that they want to make it a part of who they are. The Japanese certainly adopt a lot of Western culture, and I've had the most fun travelling around Japan and going to crazy terebi game shows, or J-pop concerts, or following the travels of my favourite Japanese historical stories or doing hanami or other matsuri, or dressing in kimono and geta and clomping around an onsen town checking out all the public baths. In doing so, I have tried to learn the language and rules and manners of locals, and have been happy to share my own, and I think that is a valuable cultural exchange. This current tendency, certainly seeming to come out of the US education and college system primarily, to say "that thing is mine and you can't have it", strikes me as very childish and selfish. I understand that some people copy without understanding the significance of a thing, and maybe the practice of Halloween dressup is somewhat to blame, but surely that presents an opportunity to share and educate, rather than snipe and attack. I think you guys have paid the ultimate respect to the Japanese people by studying their language and adopting Japanese manners and cultures, and marrying Japanese men :)

  4184. Mom from Japan, dad from Nigeria? He speaks perfect English tho. Sounds like he's from the west coast or Hawaii. On the other hand when he's in the states noone would guess he's Japanese.
    12
  4185. Congratulations to both of you! A new chapter of exciting adventures for you to share with us.
    12
  4186. A cross over that I didn't expect! So cool to see Matt on this channel. It's definitely a controversial subject to be discussing when people's livelihoods are at stake, so I'm just going to support you both and not name anybody 🙂 Edit: I think it's also great that you're talking about that what is sensational, doesn't necessarily translate (haha) to meaningful
    12
  4187. You literally seem like the nicest girl I've ever seen and ily lmao 👀

  4189. What a unexpected surprise to the Japanese locals, and entertaining/fun, too.🎵🎶 Merry Christmas, Miss Alyssa/Anming.❄🎄

  4190. Went to Japan with my wife and kid, my kid had taken Japanese language classes for a few years and we had a great time, but I must say I think it might be harder without somebody who spoke the language. Even though some Japanese people appear to come off as formal most Japanese people are very friendly and really try with English especially compared to my ability to speak Japanese [nil]
    12
  4191. I guess it's time for you to add Russian to your list of languages? lol
    12
  4192. There is just nothing in this world which connect random strangers in a way music does.
    12
  4193. This guy is Mr. Desperation.
    12
  4194. I’ve always loved language since I was a kid. My grandparents came from Thailand and my father spoke Spanish (having spent early childhood in Columbia). I didn’t learn those languages until I was older, but it was through conversations like I saw on those YT videos (but struggling way more myself) that I was able to really get to know the language, people, and culture. People can feel offended, but in my personal experience it’s these three minute rough conversations that open the door to cultures! Nowadays I want to learn more languages even if just to say hello and share a compliment
    12
  4195. Your husband is adorable. I'm so glad he had a good time. But take him to a Pistons game next time! Especially when they are playing the New Jersey Nets. They have a Japanese player!
    12
  4196. Congratulations 🎊 🥂 (You've been together less time than I realised!) So pleased for you both, glad you sounded so positive though your family wasn't there. I look forward to the day when you can all catch up again. And the honeymoon vlog is coming, yay! Hope you have a lovely time. Ps you both looked stunning in the matching blue!! 😍
    12
  4197. During my freshman year of highschool I took a trip to japan and when visiting a shrine I passed by a class of middle schoolers on a field trip. When they saw me they all got so excited and kept saying "hello!" as I passed by them lol I thought it was so cute and I still remember it years later
    12
  4198. Of all the Asian countries I've visited I found Japan was the easiest for a North American meat eater to get good food. The food in Japan was overall amazing and only a few things weren't to my taste. The suggestion to just eat less not to offend your host is my universal go to.
    12
  4199. I love the first interaction with the old woman. "Your parents must be lonely" made me laugh out loud. LOL! I love it!
    12
  4200. Always inspiring! Thanks again for these videos. I really miss living in Japan 😩. ぼくは日本語の学生です。その日本のビデオはすごいでした。
    12
  4201. Agree that we should learn other languages. This will broaden our perspective of the world.
    12
  4202. This was really great! I love how you handled each situation! ❤️
    12
  4203. you are magnificent.. I went to Germany and learned to speak German many ppl were happy that I could speak German. However, it was not a hard language to learn like the Asian languages...👍👍👍👍
    12
  4204. Watching right now. Here to support . Please dont skip ads guys :)
    12
  4205. I’m so shy and awkward this video made me anxious 😂 but I’m very amazed by it all! I’d love to be able to talk to strangers without being nervous 😬
    12
  4206. Thank you so much for the eye opening video. I live in the US and give what I can locally. I’m happy to learn about the organization linked and made a donation to help the beautiful people you introduced us to here. I appreciate so much that their dignity and self respect seem to be undiminished.
    12
  4207. Yay! Happy to see you again! Also LOL I was just thinking about studying Japanese 😂😂😂
    12
  4208. the whole videos i'm having anime scenes play in my head because the locations she is in i've already seen in anime
    12
  4209. Lookout!!! Their trying to get you a new boyfriend 🤣🤣🤣.
    12
  4210. Nice video 'Black Mamba'. It looked like you'd been practicing Aido with those katana poses. I think the premise of the video though may be a bit misleading (can you talk to Japanese girls). By that I mean that it was probably a lot easier for you to get to talk to them with you being an attractive girl yourself. If it were a middle aged man however, which I suggest is probably the majority of your audience demographic, I'm sure it would have gone down very differently - with comments like 'get lost creep' and 'go and pick out a spot in the Suicide Forest'.
    12
  4211. Here in South Korea, "language exchange" is a euphemism for friends with benefits. Be careful LOL
    12
  4212. This was the cutest karate fight i seen lol
    12
  4213. Cool! I came to know about Waseda University because of famous Japanese athlete Yuzuru Hanyu. Really a nice University. Thank you for the tour.
    12
  4214. Loved this one . Smiled all the way through it! Thank you 😊
    12
  4215. One day when your channel will be huge you’ll remember all the struggles with fake channels and not doing the videos you really love but it will be worth it in the end. Just keep going and being real and you’ll achieve what you really strive for!
    12
  4216. I don't need to go on vacation when I have your videos. Your editing makes me feel like I'm there.
    12
  4217. Having traveled all over the world, I have seen such poor examples of American tourists. What a great representation you are ♥️
    12
  4218. This is the content everyone loves. Especially the academically inclined ones like me. BTW your eyes seem bluer than ever!
    12
  4219. You’re right we aren’t Japanese or look it either, but if we are willing to learn your culture and embrace a language that is not easy then we wear Japan on our sleeves. Please love one another we are the only ones who make barriers and if we just look through your eyes we can be in harmony. Isnt that what the Japanese culture teach to harmonize
    12
  4220. ▓▒░  Oh, goodness.   `   Now  there's two of  them ! !   L.O.L. `   ☻   This video is hilarious.   ░▒▓ `
    12
  4221. actually she has very Japanese face :) she's beautiful
    12
  4222. “Are you on Instagram? Can we exchange?” Mans got right to the point 😭😭
    12
  4223. I loved "Why are you a banana santa?" XD That was great!
    12
  4224. I stumbled onto your video for the first time, I am amazed. My wife is Icelandic, I am Japanese. She speaks about 4 Nordic languages fluently and ended adding Japanese with ease. Myself, I struggle learning Icelandic and gave up. I don't know if it's a gender thing or perhaps geo-cultural but some people find languages easier than others. You however are on a different level, almost witchcraft!
    12
  4225. I'm half Japanese and the Japanese still treat me like that 😭 Even after I tell them that I can speak Japanese, they are impressed when I say one sentence in Japanese and when they talk to me, they use the simplest words but expect me not to understand 😭The frustration is so big, but as you mentioned, there really is nothing we can do about it. Japan is a sexist, racist, and homophobic country, from my experience and from what I've seen, and I really hope that it will open up more in the future, for our future generations.
    12
  4226. Appreciate you & Robin-San showcasing Japan the way you guys do 🙏🏾👍🏾
    12
  4227. Honestly probably needed this pep talk. Thank you! ❤❤😊😊
    12
  4228. Maybe in Tokyo, it is expected that most foreigners know how to speak a little Japanese, the more the better. So, compliments may be nice but not over exaggerated, unless your fluency is very high. I am not sure what it is like in Korea. However, I would imagine that in China, I feel they have more appreciate of foreigners who speak a little Chinese far more than at the same level in Japan. Not that Japanese are not appreciative of foreigners trying poorly spoken Japanese. But in China, I feel that it comes more of a delightful shock and surprise to them to hear a foreigner speak their language, even if it is broken a bit. For example, when I spoke a bit in Japanese in a local shop here in L.A., I never got a positive response but a look of indifference. However, in my area here in the San Gabriel Valley, east of Los Angeles, when I spoke in horrible broken Mandarin in a local grocery store, two of the lady clerks at the store where openly delighted and full of big smiles and compliments. My Japanese is far better than my Mandarin, but not really good; not conversationally good. However, the difference in response that I got was remarkably different; one neutral and one very positive.
    12
  4229. I'd love to see you learning and speaking Hangul next. Your language skills are mind blowing!!!
    12
  4230. I relate to Tommy a fair bit, visited Illinois and Wisconsin to see some friends a few years ago and it was the second time I'd visited the US since I visited Cali as a child and the only time outside of Europe since before I was a teen, and I had the same excitement, even as a Brit it was a culture shock.
    12
  4231. This is honestly my favorite type of content from you boo and I’ve been a subscriber from damn near day one. Happy to see more of this!!
    12
  4232. Loved this video. I am from Brazil but live in Canada. My wife is also from Brazil but her parents are Japanese. I also worked for a Japanese company in Brazil so I see a lot of similarities on the culture. Please keep the videos coming.
    12
  4233. If I had access to these kind of videos when I was getting out of school . I would have moved to Japan instead of going to work. Met a nice Japanese or hafu girl married and made a happy family .
    12
  4234. I picked your video because you're a cutie !
    12
  4235. Maybe if I follow these tips my Japanese will sound less gaijin 🤣🤓
    12
  4236. I actually love your channel, I recently came across it and I absolutely LOVE the content. U inspired me to learn Japanese. U're so nice towards everyone. keep up the great work and I wish u all the luck in the world.
    12
  4237. If I was at the store here in America and saw a Chinese man speaking Wolof to a Senegalese man I would be surprised too. It probably just the fixated notion that as a white foreigner in Japan you might only speak Japanese and your native tongue. It’s hopefully not anything other than mild surprise and curiosity.
    12
  4238. Thanks for uploading daily! 🙏🏼 Gives everyone something good to watch during quarantine so thank u
    12
  4239. Thanks for this! I hope to go to Japan soon and I was wondering if people won’t like me as a foreigner
    12
  4240. Im a russian guy living in Germany and I swear, those kind of videos make my English skills better and better 😘 Btw, you are really cute, smart an I like you!
    12
  4241. I love Tommy’s parents!! It was the icing on the cake to see your father in law ask for a hug! Sweet and wonderful video! You guys make such an awesome couple!
    12
  4242. So happy i started learning the japanese language! This looks like so much fun, i cant wait for my 1st trip to japan 🙂 might have to go for halloween time!
    12
  4243. VERY COOL!! thanks for giving us a peak into the beginning of your wonderful new life together 💕 🙏
    11
  4244. You are hilariously funny trying to open box... 😂😂😂 Actually, this whole VLOG is sooooooo funny...
    11
  4245. Congratulations, I’m so happy for you, I love watching your videos, you are so optimistic and enthusiastic about life. My nationality is Chinese but I grew up in South Africa, I am planning to move to Japan, your videos has just showed me a more realistic yet humble side of Japanese culture, it is easy to just like any country but to deeply respect a culture it’s totally different. I think I need to speed up in my Japanese learning, thank you so much for all your inspiring videos.
    11
  4246. It must be very fun to celebrate Halloween in Japan. And your costume looks very beautifull.
    11
  4247. Congratulations Anming ! So I am guessing that you do not plan to return to China? I know that you were supposed to be in Japan temporarily but COVID prevented you from returning to China . Anyways, I’m so proud of you!
    11
  4248. Since you respect asian cultures, your videos are so enjoyable and educational. It is not so easy because foreign cultures sometimes look strange. You did it such an important thing however. I am sure it's the biggest reason why your videos are enjoyable and educational. Thank you for making excellent videos!
    11
  4249. 4:00 how cute is that kid in front wearing a dark blue dress with her hands folded like that 🥰
    11
  4250. I remember when I was in Fukuoka in 2016 and this young girl just stood and looked up at me with gaping mouth in total disbelief. I was likely the first foreigner she ever saw, I though it was hilarious. :)
    11
  4251. Another good video! You do a great job letting the images tell most of the story and your comments are just the right mix of depth and cuteness!
    11
  4252. Despite the fact I don’t have any association with Japan, I started watching and enjoying your video’s on almost daily base 😄 love your reactions, love their reactions on cultural things, language. Love how two cultures accept and learn from each other.
    11
  4253. I would love to travel to Japan 🇯🇵 in the future and I have a invisible disability and it makes it much interesting for me when I find out there are more vulnerable people in other countries.
    11
  4254. I'm glad YouTube recommended this video to me. I'm so glad to see visitors enjoy America, especially during the holidays!
    11
  4255. Best channel on the internet.
    11
  4256. It's so weird to me that people would try to bring you down because they think your language skills aren't impressive. It's so obvious in your videos that the people you interact with have such a great time talking to you. Not only are your language skills impressive, your social skills are amazing! It's so cool to see how you can have friendly conversations with strangers, and it's really cool to see that they enjoy it! People are gonna be surprised that you speak their language, I don't understand why people hate on that so much. You are not just shocking them, you have genuine conversations with them, and that is so awesome and charming to watch. Anyway, love your videos, keep being you!
    11
  4257. I just discovered your channel and your content is entertaining , plus I like your whimsical flair , keep the videos coming ! Be safe out there btw 🙏🏽
    11
  4258. OMG.....this was such a wonderful video Anming!!!! Your and Tommy's personalities give so much joy to your followers...you are the nucleus to both of your family's union. You have so much to show Tommy about America, what a wonderful full life you two have ahead of you. Your inlaws seem very happy to interact with your mom, and your mom with your inlaws, how wonderful!!! I am so happy for you, and I can't wait to see videos of Tommy in America. You ROCK GIRL!!! 🥰🥰🥰
    11
  4259. Well oriental pearl just make sure the right languages are taught and respected. I know a lot of countries use different dialects it could be sound or vowels. Great job doing this, it’s very important especially being a foreigner that you don’t disrespect them. And I believe they will respect you back more for doing it right. Love what you do and keep going you got my support.
    11
  4260. I feel the most challenged and accomplished when I am thrown into a new country and I must learn a new language to make it. That's where I thrive. This has led me on many solo travel epics over the year, but still it's hard for other people to understand. Like you said, people always assume you're moving for a love interest or because you're running from something. Normal people can't imagine thriving like this, but for some of us, it's our element.
    11
  4261. I'm going to Tokyo from Chicago in a few weeks! Happy to see the reverse :)
    11
  4262. Wow 👌 Great video. Kids are the same the world over. And that is the best school dinner ever 😋
    11
  4263. And that’s why I always loved eastern Asian countries/cultures : Japan, Korea, China… they are so friendly, so welcoming, so developed, such a nice vibe ❤️💯✨👌
    11
  4264. Beautiful Lady, Intelligent, and interesting, + I am interested in learning Mandarin, so, here you go
    11
  4265. When you were asking that lady at about 5 minutes in if she could speak English as well as Japanese and Mandarin, I was hoping she would start speaking Korean to take you by surprise :-)
    11
  4266. His parents were so nice! I forgot how much fun New Years in Japan was. At my share house we typically didn’t go to the big 神社’s because a three hour+ wait is too much but we went to a small neighborhood one at midnight. It was so much fun. They had a huge bell you could ring and other stuff like drums you could play.
    11
  4267. Lot's of facts, I suggest a full interview (45 minute) to truly see if someone is fluent is not.
    11
  4268. Wow! Your American friend did the best! This was hilarious... especially the Uber guys.
    11
  4269. I can't believe you're at 714k subscribers. I remember when you were barely at 100k.
    11
  4270. I would have thought if you frequent the same stores and venues in an area you'd get known pretty quickly as that foreigner that speaks Chinese very well and then rapidly you just become someone who they speak to every day who just happens to be a foreigner. This was my experience anyway.
    11
  4271. Well, what to say. The intellect of 80% of worlds population is equal to the one of a fly, Japanese people are no different. Therefore I am not surprised you get so many hateful comments. Ignore them. Keep on with your great channel and I really love your „new“ content. Race, color of your skin does not matter. It does not. Period. It’s only how you behave and how you are. This lady with parents from Ghana is really great.
    11
  4272. What a nice wedding! Tommy looked mighty pleased after the ceremony in the church. God Bless you both and May you two have an amazing life 💞
    11
  4273. There are some Youtube channels with video titles that say, "I surprise the locals with perfect Chinese" or "I surprise my friends with fluent Spanish". I'm never fooled by that. Sometimes, they film a video with only a few weeks of learning. How can you say after a few weeks of learning that you are perfect and fluent? I mean, native speakers in their first language will never be "perfect" themselves, really. Even people speaking their first language sometimes make grammar mistakes that they don't even know to be incorrect. You may be able to say that after a few weeks of studying a language that you are "learning" to speak in that language. After a few weeks, you may know some of the new language to get by in a broken, conversational way. But, no one currently studying a language has the right to say they are fluent and perfect. That's ridiculous.
    11
  4274. Homeless is all over the world. Sharing and caring! More success to your advocacy! Thank you for sharing your blessings! More power from BKK!❤
    11
  4275. @1:56 that kid is cute 😂😂❤️ And the sceneries captured in this video are really beautiful.😍😍
    11
  4276. Aw when you said “Maybe I’ll bring my mom here and wear matching outfits with her,” I had to subscribe! You present yourself in such a radiating & positive light 💖 Thank you for your content!
    11
  4277. Just love this video, how you interacted with his family, you can see the love is there, I would be on my nerves if it was the first time meeting them, but I’m pretty sure you have already won their hearts over, they seem very lovely…glad your happy🤗🌸💗
    11
  4278. It's another world, a fantasy land. Is there another place like it on this planet? Doubt it. Thanks for the ride.
    11
  4279. When we lived in Japan we would visit the USA every 2 years and OMG it was always scary first arriving because everything and everyone was bigger! But after a day of relaxing it would feel good again. Both the USA and Japan have such incredible cultures and places :) its hard to say which is better overall, but I really take the low crime in Japan as probably the best part.
    11
  4280. His Japanese has a Finnish accent, or the first part sounds really Finnish in a way, it's so interesting!
    11
  4281. I really love the new place ❤❤ I'm super excited for your wedding!! I can see why you love Tommy..his humor is great! You both can be silly and fun together 💓💓
    11
  4282. in a world where OnlyFans exists...the biggest controversy is white guys shocking foreigners by speaking their native language for Youtube ad revenue...LOL
    11
  4283. Your videos have kinda moved me to learn japanese. (Along with the Spanish I'm already learning bc its an actual school option lol) Seeing someone (especially someone from my state lol) living in Japan and speaking it pretty well is so cool to me. I just hope once school starts i still feel like studying often. Im still young so i hope I'll get a whole lot better by the time im in my twenties. Have a nice day!
    11
  4284. The billion dollar question is, do Nanpas hit on guys as well? Otherwise they'd be limiting their choices. 2:35, when you were asked if you speak English. It would have been a way better answer if you said, "No I don't."
    11
  4285. "In my country it's common" Girl brown is more common in America considering indigenous were the original Americans-
    11
  4286. Besides the amazing video you have just posted we have to all appreciate, again, just how beautiful you are! I am not attracted to women but I would 100% turn my head around if you went by me at the beach :))
    11
  4287. I want to learn Japanese because I think it will give me a richer experience when I visit. I’m planning more visits to Japan. I have been to Tokyo but want to see more of the country. Learning foreign languages enriches your life I think. I’m currently studying French.
    11
  4288. 4:47 This dude was just playing along with your question... he doesn't hate any countries Lol
    11
  4289. The real question is how did she walk around in those wedges all day keeping up with the pack. I bet her feet were dying by the end of the day.
    11
  4290. Dam their houses are literally built in the desert !
    11
  4291. It's great to see another video! I hope you've been well. Your mom is just like you. Both have a great sense of humor. The deer of Nara reminded me of a dog trying to eat your homework. The shock of suprise meeting the in-laws when your mom spoke Japanese was priceless. It was definitely the perfect way to break the ice. Parents embarrassing there children as usual, what a good time! LOL It went excellent I think, the fact he hugged her goodbye was priceless! To be continued... This J-Drama is getting intense. I want to binge watch all the episodes right now!
    11
  4292. I am so glad i found your channel, you motivate me to learn the lenguages i've been wanting to learn but haven't had the actual motivation to! Ty!
    11
  4293. I never get tired the interactions you make I love how friendly you are with everyone is so fun and heartwarming I like that, and Im studying and learning korean too each time I fall more in love with korean and japanese culture have a nice day.
    11
  4294. I was an exchange student in a very rural area on Shikoku and never felt more awkward. The kids nearly fell over themselves when I walked by, all red haired 173 cm of me. I was such an oddity the local camera club hired me as a model a couple of times and I was definitely not model material, just unusual. I both loved it and hated it simultaneously.
    11
  4295. Really love your editing, your going to the next level. keep up the great work.
    11
  4296. Loved this! I think more of these conversations need to be had -- people who are multicultural or culturally something else and look differently. I've had this conversation with many Asian Americans as well. And, this is actually how I felt in the US being a Black person but since I was always around Koreans or Russians, it felt like I never really had anything to talk about with my other American counterparts who were always around culturally American people. Of course, it's not 100% the same though. I think I was just a weird teenager too though. 🤣
    11
  4297. Very honest video. So needed
    11
  4298. Oof, I think I would go crazy in a room without at least one, no matter how small, window, sounds super depressing 😨
    11
  4299. No, Oriental Pearl, you are not just an "average American" as you stated at 4:36. You understate yourself. Most average native-born Americans including diplomats do not know a second language, let alone a third one. Your videos are inspiring. Keep up the good work!!
    11
  4300. Don't worry too much about people talking crap, at the moment 476k people love what you are doing and I'm pretty sure in time that number will grow even larger. ✌🤘
    11
  4301. Personally I would rather be a jack of all trades as it gives me more people to connect with, I don't think that's a negative at all. Matt's Japanese pronunciation is excellent, also.
    11
  4302. How you'd think you would sound like speaking Japanese: You actually speaking it: sugoi.
    11
  4303. Never for a second did I think people would think learning other languages and polyglots are dumb and showing off, never even crossed my mind. We’ve reached a new low as humans😂😂
    11
  4304. Why this aggression against someone simply living an honorable life and give value to things around them? Maybe they are the one who need to check their own life and path 🤔
    11
  4305. Loved this collab! Both of you delve deeper into the smaller things in Japan no big guys cover and it's really cool to see this happen! Maybe you two should do a collab on teaching in Japan, it's a popular topic and both of you have extensive XP. Everyone should learn to be like Sam :D You're quite assertive and direct yourself Anming, but Sam is on a whole new level! Many of us viewers are just shy observers but turns out one needs to kill their own shyness to truly enjoy Japan!
    11
  4306.  @OrientalPearl  Thank you! My family is half french, half American so I grew up speaking English and French. I learned Spanish in school (it’s easy once you speak french and english because of the latin roots) and Mandarin over the years, in college and living in Shanghai in 2016.
    11
  4307. im from philippines,thankyou for helping and reaching out to the poor🙏🏻❤️
    11
  4308. Holy Cow! People open up when you speak there language!
    11
  4309. There was a fantasy event in my country and I was dressed up as sailor moon. Two Japanese girls wanted to take a picture with me. They thanked me and I said: 'dou itashimashte' and they reacted with: ehhhhh!? 😆 it made my day

  4310. about a year ago I went into a local Japanese grocery store here in Atlanta, Georgia, and I asked one of the store clerks some questions about ingredients for okonomiyaki and explained that I was looking for a particular kind of Japanese flour for making udon noodles, all in Japanese. My friend who was with me was expecting me to blow their minds with my Japanese but I already kind of knew what the reaction was going to be. The ladies working in the store simply answered my questions and didn't even really acknowledge that there was anything unusual or interesting about me speaking Japanese. I will say, the times when I got the most reaction from Japanese people about me speaking Japanese were when I was clearly a novice/beginner. They would act so impressed that I was learning Japanese. Sometimes I will get a comment about my Japanese, but not nearly as much or seemingly as excitedly as when I spoke more たどたどしい片言日本語

  4311. Awesome video as usual.💖👍 You being you encourages me a lot. いろいろありがとうございます Anming さん 🙏🙇‍♀️。 Even I have noticed in Hellotalk that young people or old people are more eager to talk 😊🙏👍 Well learning new things and making new friends 😇🤝 Be You 😊👍 Hope to meet you someday in person 😇🙏. Anming 会いたいなー 😇 またねー

  4312. Your ‘secret power’, knowing their language🥰 So satisfying to watch❣️
    11
  4313. People should always be happy that someone want to take part and embrace their culture
    11
  4314. I thought this was a re-upload to start with because I'm sure I've seen this before, but I do enjoy your content and it has pushed me to do more 1-1 Mandarin lessons. I will eventually get to your level of Mandarin. I did also study Japanese for 4 years in night classes, but didn't put in the effort like I should have done. Yourself and Xiaoma reignited my love for learning and have now got the dosh to do it
    11
  4315. May your life be full of Joy & Happiness, Congratulations 🎊 💐
    11
  4316. Now I've seen it all. An American who speaks Japanese with a Chinese accent.
    11
  4317. thanks for these videos!! I love watching youtube vloggers in japan (I'm a sucker for japanese food and old buildings like kyo-machiya, aesthetic scenery, and drone shots haha) but at the end of the day a country is its people, and a lot of vloggers are really lacking in these sorts of (extremely charming and heartwarming) daily interactions. so yeah, i think you bring something really important to the table and i hope your channel goes well :)
    11
  4318. If they ask me how i learned japenese i'll say i got 10 years experience with anime
    11
  4319. Wow, I'd have been really angry about the guy trying to hold me up for the extra $130.
    11
  4320. I love how you edited this video.
    11
  4321. You have such a wholesome friendship. :3 I'm not good with other people or even being around others for certain periods of time, but I can definitely see the appeal of living with other people; Makes the stay more enjoyable and there's never a dull moment! It's less isolating.
    11
  4322. You guys are too nice. Personally, I wouldn't be so subtle when calling out textbook western ignorance lol
    11
  4323. The Maid Café is based on the Maid Latté, where the protagonist in the anime "Kaichou wa Maid-sama" worked as a maid-waitress after school (Fact: She was also the class president and it's her secret that she worked in that café).
    11
  4324. What a nice video. I really enjoyed it. And, yes, it's okay to have 2 homes and to have your heart in 2 places.
    11
  4325. You are show off speaking all of these hard to learn languages but well done.
    11
  4326. 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.
    11
  4327. The "fluency illusion" is called the Dunning-Kruger effect
    11
  4328. Very cool to see Japanese Halloween! So friendly and happy celebrations ❤🎉
    11
  4329. Aren't you a sensation just walking down the street? I would imagine with your hair color and blue eyes people probably look at you all the time. I agree with you, if you were in Moscow and started speaking Russian, no one would be that impressed because they would assume you are Russian.
    11
  4330. So amazed at your ability to switch languages on the fly! Wish I could learn Japanese and have conversations so fluently! Great videos def sub!
    11
  4331. Yes, get out there and see new things! Meet new people! I love your content and you just are so good at speaking on camera. I lived in Michigan for a big portion of my life too and I definitely agree that of any state, Michigan has the least amount of accent! Now in Cincinnati!
    11
  4332. I love everything what you do. You're so kawaii. Greetings from Mexico, city.
    11
  4333. Ok, “ who took a dump on your birthday cake?” translated into chinese or japanese on tshirts please. Great Macklemore references.
    11
  4334. Life is too short to waste time & energy on negative people! You have fans around the world who 💙 & care about you 👏👍🤗
    11
  4335. People always say that i'm ''so good at Japanese'' and that i sound ''so Japanese'' and i'm like.......... no, i'm a beginner, i sound so bad😂 but they don't know the language so
    11
  4336. I love these videos so much, I was so excited when I saw you had uploaded another! That lady was so sweet, I noticed she kept looking at you even after you had walked away. Thank you for the video, your videos inspire me to visit Japan as soon as I can!
    11
  4337. Yuki-San! Yuki means snow and that’s the first word I learned! I’ll never forget that!
    11
  4338. take a shot for everytime you hear "merry christmas " in this one video alone lol
    11
  4339. sweetpotato actually isn't a sweetened potato, but a vegetable type in itself. It's barely related to potato and has much more things in common with carrots.
    11
  4340. Just say, 'Read Finnish with a Hungarian accent', and voila, done, perfect, kanpeki.
    11
  4341. This young man is too good looking to be “acting desperate “. So, CHILL...lest he finds EXACTLY what he’s Not L👀KING for. 😟🤭 It’s Amazing though that these two met must be that in the future they can be friends or acquaintances for future reference. 😉👍🏽😊 Oriental Pearl is a “Diamond” 🌟💎🌟💎🌟💎 with Beautiful 🥇❤️🙇🏻‍♀️. I know that My Prayers are sincere and effective so I will continuously ask the Holy Spirit 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🕊😉 protect both these beautiful young people and direct their path. Everyone needs a support system and encouragement wherever they find themselves. Stay Safe and Positive. 🏃🏼‍♀️🕺🏽👣👣🙏🏽😘💨
    11
  4342. Always so fun to watch people's reactions to you speaking their language!
    11
  4343. 昭和25年からって言ってるから70年前ですね
    11
  4344. 3:05 I dint know they carry them around like that! I thought they used bikes!😧😭
    11
  4345. Congratulations 🍾
    11
  4346. My goodness, it had never occurred to me that this kind of place existed in Japan–tents on the streets with piles of garbage around, and I certainly missed it when I was there. But I am glad people are nice and they don't look like they are on drug seen in some advanced countries. Since you mentioned China, I can easily say that of all the places I visited there I had never seen someone sleeping on the street or streets littered with garbage. You can verify this, Anming, since you have lived in China for many years.
    11
  4347. It would be better if we all just accepted each other for who we are and not our skin color
    11
  4348. "Dark days always pass"! ... Yes!! ☀️🌻😎
    11
  4349. Funnily enough I get the double take and suprised Picatchu from a lot of Finns whenever I speak Finnish. It's usually due to the lack of accent when speaking Swedish first. You can tell very easily if someone is Finnish by they way they speak, but I was was born and raised in Sweden so I don't have that accent nor the speech pattern. But I do speak fluent Finnish. It's always hillarious. It blows their minds. I've also impressed a few by switching between various languages (4 at one time), the perks of working in a store downtown. I've been mostly mistaken for Spanish or Russian. They won't even believe me when I tell them I'm Swedish. "Not Spanish?" I don't know what makes them think that, since I'm pasty white with blue eyes. Perhaps my brown hair? It's kinda funny that everyone assumes you're Russian, when Finland has the most blonds in the world.
    11
  4350. We tend to brand them as life failures, but when I look at them they seem to be enjoying life. I realized that the definition of happiness is not having a lot of money or a house.
    11
  4351. I honestly really want to become an animator in Japan, and I’m doing a lot of research and it’s going to be extremely hard and competitive but, I’ll tbh just keep on trying until I get there.❤️
    11
  4352. My beautiful half-Black SIL has a very WASP/Germanic name...when she applies for a job there is often a moment of shock when they see her. Peoples' pre-conceptions are so strong!
    11
  4353. This video was really interesting! I feel like a big stereotype or general view of Japan is that it's serious all the time, so it was really cool to see such a huge party :) Thank you for showing us this, and your costume is great!
    11
  4354. This is absolutely adorable, tommys reactions are everything. Can’t wait to see more travel vlogs ❤
    11
  4355. Wholesomeness off the charts. What a legend of a man. Thanks for sharing his story.
    11
  4356. I think coming across as a Nanpa is one of my biggest concerns if I ever were to visit Japan to try speaking with locals, purely because as a gay guy I find women more comfortable to converse with, but then I know explaining that would be culturally taboo. For the same reason, guys are intimidating to talk to haha, a truly triple edged sword </3
    11
  4357. Thanks for showing the other side of this. I honestly believed that everyone was just shocked. It's interesting to know you don't constantly get stopped and asked about it.
    11
  4358. You made me want to go to Michigan.
    11
  4359. 8:15 in Mexico we have cow tongue tacos!! lool
    11
  4360. I prefer Reality over Show. Thanks for taking your Time to show us your Life!
    11
  4361. affection, contentment, patience - 3 things i wish for you both til the end of your days.. congratulations from the philippines ♥
    11
  4362. Always love your content!!!!
    11
  4363. so awesome that you're able to communicate so fluently in Chinese (I suppose Mandarin), Japanese and Korean and how it is appreciated by the people you talk to. Do people try to correct you in these languages? Do you also speak Cantonese? How difficult is it for you to study Vietnamese, because it's very different to your other languages.
    11
  4364. Learning different languages are so fun and unforgettable experience love your videos so much are so fun and the interactions are so nice have a nice day.
    11
  4365. OMG, THIS IS EPIC.
    11
  4366. Thanks for the very good documentation. Homelessnes and crime are increasing in Japan. Japan is getting poorer and poorer,but gavernment gives a lot of aid overseas that's the problem.
    11
  4367. imo speaking chinese is very difficult. My boyfriend speaks it and when he tried to teach me words I found that it was really hard because of the change of tone that you have to use
    11
  4368. I can't believe you did this! It's a must do for me when I visit. Don't ask me why but things like this don't gross me out. I would define it as Oddly Satisfying! I also heard that Japanese grow up having their mothers clean their ears so maybe that's why it's so popular? Reminds them of their childhood or something like that. I hope you hear better at least. I also hear it's very enjoyable for some, but others not so much hahaha. Anything for the content is your motto ;)
    11
  4369. I enjoyed the skating. I want to see the bamboo forest—I would be like “Ooooo.” 😊
    11
  4370. This video shows exactly how people should treat each other regardless of ethnicity or location. Richard in his T-shirt…’King Richard’! :D
    11
  4371. I’m a student of Waseda Univ. I respect you from my heart,先輩！
    11
  4372. As a Canadian the only real barriers created between people is language. But as long as the person speaks english clearly we wouldn't even notice their appearance because the diversity in the country has almost reached a level where there really isn't considered a majority race any more.
    11
  4373. Thank you for this! I am a linguist and a teacher who has spent my entire life mastering languages and have recently opened my language centre to combat these INSANE trends in language learning where business are lying to their learners with crash courses for the sake of high turnover, and fake online polyglots telling people they can be fluent in 3 months. Also, the biggest learning centres advertise their courses differently in the Western Europe and differently in the Eastern Europe (apparently, same courses last 3 months in the UK and a year in Eastern Europe where we learn languages more realistically and are usually more proficient...). In addition, standards for fluency really need to be discussed, because what is considered fluent these days varies too much! Thank you for exposing this and telling the truth!
    11
  4374. Exactly what i thought! It's nice seeing the language exchange but if you add culture and daily ordinary stuff as you said, it makes it a lot more unique and fun.
    11
  4375. I just love this kind of video. It's hard to stay focused and motivated while learning a language, especially if it's a tonal language. To see the reaction of native speakers motivates me to keep learning.
    11
  4376. Love your videos. Thank you for posting. I’m Australian and studied Chinese at Uni and then spent a year in Taiwan living with a local family. It was the best experience for a young student and taught me so much about other cultures and languages. I loved learning Mandarin (and a little bit of Taiwan hua) and I found your observations so interesting yet scary about why people think you’ve abandoned your mother country - you’re so right - you can appreciate another culture and country without having to “become it” !
    11
  4377. 2:57 - he looks like a guy i saw went route 66 USA with his rickshaw... hope I'm not wrong 🤔
    11
  4378. I would understand if you can get too me my first time replying late I was scared lol you're always busy and respect that commenting on you're fans it's hard work so I commend you on that youre truly an amazing person 😁❤️
    11
  4379. You're doing a great job with your video productions. You must make a decision to make what you want to make, or, what will possibly make more money. I say keep up with the good work!
    11
  4380. YouTube is very click batey. Don’t loose faith. You are still building your true fan base. Please continue to share all the sides of your journey. The good and bad. They will come around. 🤗
    11
  4381. Yes Madam, i´ve Sub´d! And no, you don´t look Russian, clearly German Roots ;-) Cheers from Germany! ;-)
    11
  4382. you speak the truth ahahaha! I'm an american and barely spoke japanese.. just enough to get by, but because of how my culture is all about being open and very friendly it kind of pushed me into constantly meeting people and making friends. Good example is my first friend I ever made we didnt understand each other AT ALL!! But mainly because i was constantly pushing what i wanted to say with body language and putting in as much effort to get my points across we were able to connect. only times we ever used translations was when it was something very intricate but overall this experience made it so i had someone that could feel comfortable with correcting my broken japanese & eventually helped me become fluent.
    11
  4383. I guess this shows how “closed” and “not diverse” Japan is. If someone spoke to me in Swedish when they look like a foreigner, I wouldn’t be surprised.
    11
  4384. Seems like they were so accommodating for you. What a sweet exchange between everyone. Thank you for sharing 🙏 and congratulations on your engagement
    11
  4385. This could apply to the Chinese too
    11
  4386. Congrats Anming on your masters degree. Haven’t been back to your channel in a while. You’re almost up to 200K subscribers. Yay!
    11
  4387. Is it just me, or does anyone else think the guy on the bike was hitting on Anming?
    11
  4388. Novel idea... should be done every year. Your Santa suit goes good 似合います。
    11
  4389. 🚨Nothing makes me 😁 smile more than Anming in Japan. It feels like watching a RPG and she is player one!🚨
    11
  4390. 5:10 ... thats is when you know you have language on lock lol
    11
  4391. I wanted to do like a semester of exchange in Japan in uni but like I’m literally only around an N4
    11
  4392. By the way I really love your outfit!
    11
  4393. Let’s see how many people I can make smile today! I like that so much!厉害！厉害！👏👏👏👍☺️✨💚
    11
  4394. I really enjoyed all the laughter and relaxed environment you created. Looked like a lot of fun was had. I'm watching language videos on Japanese. Hope to be half as good as you and I'll be ok.
    11
  4395. 🎆🎇Happy New Year🎇🎆 Akemashite omedetō あけましておめでとう🎆 新年快樂🎇 Xīnnián kuàilè 새해 복 많이 받으세요🎇 saehae bog manh-i bad-euseyo Feliz año nuevo🎇🎆 You have a wonderful way of bringing out the best in others, and making everyone smile, with your languages! Impressive indeed! 👍🏻🇯🇵🇰🇷🇨🇳You inspire me, continue doing what you are doing! ☺️☺️🙇🏻‍♀️🙏I’m trying to improve my Spanish, atm! 🇪🇸
    11
  4396. I love seeing you two having such a great time! His excitement is adorable!
    11
  4397. That’s cool he got to experience shooting some guns! 😎🙌🏽
    11
  4398. This reminds me of when Steve Kauffman studied Korean.It seemed like he was expecting his knowledge of Japanese and Chinese to help him progresss faster, but he didn't seem sastisfied at the end of his studies. I still would love to go to another country and intensively study for a month, although in my case it would probably be to study to improve my Cantonese or Vietnamese, but I may learn Korean someday.
    11
  4399. "and this is my teacher Alyssa" at 05:35...... I watched this again and realized only now that this was revealing your name even before the Birthday party. thank you for doing these lovely and entertaining educational videos. stay well.
    11
  4400. Kick-ass Anming Roughed up A Tiny Emi!
    11
  4401. I'm going to be living in a hostel in Nishinari-ku. Lots of people were warning me about the area. But I think everywhere has a potential to be dangerous. You just have to keep an open mind and stay alert at all times. Thank you for showing us this less glamorous side of Japan!
    11
  4402. EARLY! WAAAAAHHHHH SO AMAYZINGGGGG ILYY
    11
  4403. Thank you so much for this! My mother loves watching you and also because of your videos she wants to start learning Mandarin Chinese! I have been wanted to learn Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin too) to go to college in Japan ! I can't wait for what the future holds for me. You inspired me to be less anti-social! Thank you :D
    11
  4404. You two have such fresh personalities. You both have beautiful skin. Must be the climate.
    11
  4405. When they're talking about the trash cans filling up: would you rather have people litter?
    11
  4406. It's so important to not look away from this kind of things, and It's such a cool Combo between you two, super entertaining to watch. I love Robin san ♥
    11
  4407. Oriental Pearl taking us on her field trips and teaching us along the way 😊
    11
  4408. I really enjoy your videos!! thx for bringing china/japan closer to us!! this year im going to start and learn mandarin at the uni. Cant wait im rlly excited! 😁🤣
    11
  4409. "Leave the city" O....... where literally no one speaks English at ALL😅 I get to go to Tokyo for study abroad architecture. Wish me luck all 😬 It was already delayed to this coming semester due to Corona V. Sucks.... but... it'll be worth it.
    11
  4410. I taught in Japan for 13 years, mostly adults and adult volunteers (Peace Corps type) so it was easier. Also taught in Thailand, Kenya and Honduras, so I understand your frustration.
    11
  4411. congratulations
    11
  4412. Once again, congratulations to the both of you! That was really nice of you and Tommy to hold another wedding so your mom can take part in it. Looking forward to the next few videos!
    11
  4413. Me: Why do I hear boss music? Anming: This is for not watching my latest video!!!!
    11
  4414. Congratulations for your wedding Tears in my eye from start to finish Wish you both a happy life
    11
  4415. the way he left riding the bike was kinda cool lol
    11
  4416. Even just the first 30 seconds of this is hilarious.
    11
  4417. I speak Hindi, English and Spanish at native level. I'll learn Swedish, Japanese and German after high school ,not now as I have to crack JEE and I need to focus a lot on STEM for two years right now.
    11
  4418. The ghosting issue is a problem here in America as well. Especially in the dating scene. At least he told you he wasn't showing up instead of just not showing up, leaving you wondering if something happened to him.
    11
  4419. You're SOOOO close to 1m subs. I've been watching you for awhle and I'm getting so excited for you!
    11
  4420. Just recently discovered your videos, and I have to say I love them, listening to you speak makes me happy. Thank you for making them and please keep them coming. : )
    11
  4421. I just watched it, i wish i could live there it’s so beautiful!
    11
  4422. Im Japanese. Im envious that you did this. Keep going! Thank you for loving our culture ❤
    11
  4423. It really gets me pumped up to work harder at my Japanese lessons after watching your videos. 😁❤ After my first trip to Japan just before the pandemic hit the world I didn't know enough Japanese so I couldn't really talk to people. I did know about 200 words but you don't start up conversations with something random like that. 😋 I memorized some phrases I knew could be handy traveling in the country by myself for a month and yes, they broke the ice every time I needed to ask something. Starting with fluent English makes people clam up and hesitate, but if you start of in Japanese and ask them politely if they speak English there were never any problem to find a way to communicate. Even if their English was really poor. You never get tired of the appreciering smiles you get when you try speaking Japanese. One idea for a video maybe is asking Japanese people about their view on foreigners who at least try and those who don't bother and expect everyone to understand English. Keep up the good work! 👍
    11
  4424. Might pick up chinese as a third language since I do medicine. channels like this inspire me
    11
  4425. I love your videos. You spread so much joy, so inspiring.
    11
  4426. Normal people: Ooh~ Yokohama is very pretty Me: oNE, TWO, THREE. YOKOHAMA DIVISION. HOMIES WE ARE MAD TRIGGER CREW I'm, sorry. I'm not that cringey actually
    11
  4427. I am Canadian and spent a year in Windsor while in teacher's college. I didn't have a car in those days (didn't feel safe using public transportation alone, across the border), so I didn't get to see Michigan. Thanks for posting this (and Frankenmuth earlier). Your husband has a great attitude and good English skills. I had an exchange student from Japan who took my Drama class and she experienced huge culture shock, but was always so sweet and polite as well.
    11
  4428. Cute outfit from Kill Bill 💕👻
    11
  4429. I'm very excited to see this video, i have always been interested in work life over there in japan, and seeing this from someone I love to watch is even more amazing!
    11
  4430. Woah ! That looks pretty awesome! It’s a slide for noodles lol, The noodles look super good too!
    11
  4431. Yankee or yank can be an insult, probably ok to call a friend that. Do it to a stranger and your putting yourself into bad position.
    11
  4432. We had a peek, now you can chew chew chew.
    11
  4433. I loved that taxi driver so much! ❤ I hope he becomes very successful
    11
  4434. Miss Miki is happy to herself and her life as a mixed in Japan.
    11
  4435. This is so coooollll🔥🔥 Rarely do we see an American speaking good about China. Hope you become an ambassador for China to America and other western countries and thaw the hatred away. Wo ai ni Amning ❤️
    11
  4436. Tommy seemed genuinely excited to see the place where you were born and raised. Too bad he only had a short visit, but you definitely packed a lot into it. When will you return to Japan? I'm looking forward to your next video. As I've said before...Keep them coming. ❤
    11
  4437. The street interview and the kids were great segments! Loved those parts of the video 😁
    11
  4438. She's so cute. At the beginning the guy was like a dad trying to get his child to finish her breakfast lol
    11
  4439. the most beautiful voice ive heard :)
    11
  4440. I'm not so much interested in seeing the "reaction" videos (they're cute, but they get old after a while). What I like is when you take the time to talk with someone and find out something about them. For example, when you talk to the Chinese immigrants in Japan and get their back story on how they came to be in Japan. Or the videos you did with Katie.
    11
  4441. Phew, thought you're fleeing from the FBI! :D Your journey of language learning has been full of interesting conflicts. But great to know things worked out pretty well so far and no doubt even better in the future.
    11
  4442. Next, get him to try walking 14 cats. Lol. That would be quality entertainment.
    11
  4443. When I finish boot camp I'm hoping to get stationed in japan, I feel like it would be a wonderful experience since I've never actually been outside my state
    11
  4444. I wanted to learn Chinese and Japanese too. But I'm having a hard time especially on proper pronunciation. But still, I wanted to learn 🤗
    11
  4445. Glad to see you weren't seriously hurt.
    11
  4446. Anming,you are amazing. There are no words to describe how well you have mastered several languages. I could see you as a interpreter at the UN . I am from Louisiana,my mother spoke fluent French as her first language,English as her second language. She never taught it to myself or my brother or sisters. Back then it was discouraged,now it is taught some,but Spanish is in the fore front as a foreign language taught in school. Southern Louisiana roots are French, but Spanish leads in school language taught,blows my mind. At 65,I am trying to learn French and speak some. People who hear me speak French,say I speak it naturally,that I must have picked up on some listening to my mother speak it all those years.

  4447. Agree! I’ve said before: all that time perfecting Guitar Hero, they could had learn an actual guitar. Same goes for language.

  4448. Good luck 🍀 on figuring out what works best for you and your channel! Hopefully you have fun on the journey regardless!! THANK YOU 🙏 ORIENTAL PEARL FOR ALL THE AWESOME VIDEOS!!! 👏🔥🥊

  4450. My wife went to Western Michigan University to be an English teacher, she taught at Battle Creek, Michigan High school, a real challenge in an inner-city school. Even with impeccable classroom management skills, she quit, returned to school to study ASL/interpreting which is what she does now in colleges, hospitals, etc...She had to cut her own path which is what seems to be what you are doing. I enjoy you channel...great job!
    11
  4451. Wow! I know exactly how you feel! I still have a lot of friends all over MICHIGAN! Don't give up your dreams. Stay safe! Toby is a lucky man and you're a lucky woman to have him. You guys are wonderful together. I imagine how hard was for you in the beginning. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. I appreciate. I just love your videos. Stay safe you and Toby.
    11
  4452. Wonderful that you have worked so diligently to learn several languages, and discipline yourself to do it. Happy, safe travels and I look forward to watching more of your episodes.

  4453. Im from Venezuela so I speak spanish, spanish has thevsame roots as Italian, Portugués and French and I dont really know why we dont learn lenguages in Latín América...

  4454. You really is amazing 新居ちゃん
    11
  4455. i love your content a lot, it brings me a lot of insight into Japan as a country and its provided me inspiration to start learning Japanese as my third language, thank you so much for your channel darling ^^
    11
  4456. That’s cool. I love the Tokyo music scene and catching one of her shows has been on my radar for awhile. Just so many acts . Maybe you can catch one of her shows .
    11
  4457. Great video, it was in my recommendations because I watch xiaoma. Do you not sort rubbish/recycling in Detroit or China too? :0
    11
  4458. What a blessing!! Beautiful!!
    11
  4459.  @OrientalPearl  it'll just take you one day to read Korean. I'm sure you'll learn fast!!
    11
  4460. I was in rural Japan in the 70's. believe me reactions then were interesting.. today not as much. I've been studying Japanese for over 40 years with out a drop of Japnese blood in me. Never lived in Tokyo.. I lived in small towns and cities.
    11
  4461. Good luck in Lisa's career and her band!
    11
  4462. If someone just heard matt's japanese voice and his normal voice. People would think that they are voices of two different people
    11
  4463. Like him or hate him Bald and Bankrupt is an example of how to COMMUNICATE with people in another language. He doesn’t speak gramatically correct russian sometimes but is not afraid to engage everyday people in day to day situations. If you’re so stuck on speaking without error to the point of being afraid to open your mouth, you’ve missed the point of learning the language.
    11
  4464. Walking with a beverage down the street  in Japan?!?!!?? How foreign of you! ;-)
    11
  4465. I subscribe to his channel, his wife Naomi hates walking around with R2D2 so it looks like you have yourself a new job. 😂😂😂 “This gentleman has two small kids, he made it for them”. Is that what he told you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    11
  4466. You and Tommy are a great couple! It's good to see two families of different cultures getting along so well! That's how it should be 😁
    11
  4467. It's more interesting that I'm a Chinese studying in Australia watching a video about a American language genius keeps talking in Japanese and Chinese HaHa
    11
  4468. It's crazy compared to I guess like america. Where we know places like this exist, Japan tries to write them off or completely hide / remove these areas. From their maps and what not. It's wild, a video like this though I feel is important. To show people like this stuff exists in Japan too. Since I'm sure plenty would think it doesn't. When they see all the other usual scenery of Tokyo. Thanks as always for bringing us along. Stay safe out there! That ojiisan was super shady too with what he was saying to you.
    11
  4469. I realized my Korean had gotten better when my students could all understand me decently, even if I always defaulting to my wife's regional dialect (we live in a different city now).
    11
  4470. I wouldn't consider my self a professional in teaching but one of the reasons to loose control is the number.... But i think to teach kids English as a foreign language while you have advanced Chinese skills is very useful at least you can communicate and understand their needs properly, and remember there is no experience meaningless in your life so enjoy every moment, build your personality and don't look only to the negative side of it 😊😊😊
    11
  4471. really interesting, thanks for sharing 😊
    11
  4472. I've learned English since I was in 3rd grade, French from 7th until 10. Learned a few sentences in Spanish and currently beginner level in Japanese. I feel like these people now say they are Polyglots which "No. You aren't."
    11
  4473. I’m glad to learn about these different areas that I would have never heard of. It’s interesting to see all different types of Japan. It’s awesome to spread awareness and do mini interviews like a journalist! Reminds me a little of Sabbatical or Indigo Traveler if you’ve ever seen those YouTubers. I liked that you educated some of the other foreigners about the area as well! Your husbands concern was sweet 💜
    11
  4474. Congratulations! This is AWESOME. You just gave Hellotalk a big marketing boost. Now the company could double as a dating app. 🤣 Both your families also trying to learn languages on top of everything to communicate, goes to show how worlds come together. Amazing how things work out, when you least expect it.
    11
  4475. This video is very wholesome, you made me want to visit Michigan ! No wonder he thinks your house is big, this is big from an european point of view, it must be a real shock for a Tokyoïte I'd love a video of Tommy's parents visiting America so much, I hope this is a project of yours!
    11
  4476. Hey Keep posting video we are in Lock down in Denmark too, and Looking forword to Keep seeing you smiling, this is a hard time but you are Making it better and easyer to get tru ;) ;)
    11
  4477. I never been to Japan myself, but there's a japanese family who do business with my father and they are crazy to talk to me since since I can speak to a certain degree. They constantly bug me saying I should run to Japan, that people will love me. Its always enjoyable being with them🥰
    11
  4478. This series is really great.
    10
  4479. ahhh that was the reason for the break. Congratulations for your master degree, you hardworking pearl. what is the subject of the master degree?
    10
  4480. Pearl Time flies so fast because it’s now oct 31 now that means Halloween is going to be over love watching Halloween movies But usually watching Japanese anime I wish there were more Japanese monsters movies like vampires or something
    10
  4481. What a fantastically interesting path you have walked. Thanks for sharing.
    10
  4482. I just saw one of your videos for the first time and enjoyed it so I looked for more and here I am! You look to be my daughter’s age. How wonderful that you are experiencing life, really experiencing it, living and loving your way through, and you’re so joyous and positive! It’s very refreshing. Best of luck and happiness in your lives together. You both look very happy.

  4483. Man. Lisa is cooler than I'll ever be - and I enjoyed BBB's song, Summer 1990. Loved this one, Anming!

  4484. Gracias por motivarme a seguir estudiando Japones. Saludos
    10
  4485. im japanese .i love china. i love japan. i love each difference!! be excellent to each other!!! party on dudes
    10
  4486. I'm literally dying at the guy screaming out the window that he'll be your next husband. 😂
    10
  4487. Dang!! just the beginning alone made me smile so much!! and proud to be American! :)
    10
  4488. If they say “your chinese is so good” instead of “你的中文好好喔” that’s a sign that they don’t actually think your chinese is good and that they’re just being polite
    10
  4489. My daughter loves your clothes 😍 The snacks looked so good! I love bean paste 💗
    10
  4490. Great video! Also, know what it's like to be judged on your appearance when it comes to ethnicity, etc. I have a Spanish name based on a Central American Indian Father so lots of people assume (and attempt to chat with me in Spanish which I don't speak). My ex is half Japanese and half American (of Scots and Irish heritage) but looks mostly Asian (with freckles) so I used to see how folks treated her in the US. Looking "different" than expected can definitely affect attitudes toward you - so I truly understand what Miki-san feels. Personally, I think she's amazing and I'm glad you both had this discussion.
    10
  4491. When I lose motivation in my Japanese studies I listen to Band-Maid and I am charged again! 😁 btw thank you for sharing 😊
    10
  4492. Dude it's not a surprise that they misinterpret your intentions, it is fairly weird for anyone to be rammed like that in public... twice in a row. xDD
    10
  4493. Congratulations for the new home guys, it's absolutely beautiful <3 However, this will not change my standpoint about how much housing sucks in most big cities all around the planet :( Have a great week and take care guys <3
    10
  4494. Fascinating story, thanks for that)
    10
  4495. This was a wholesome video. I was wanting to see the reactions they had to you speaking Japanese, but instead I left this video seeing how happily the people talked you after complimenting them. Love it.
    10
  4496. Her facial structure,nose,corner of her eyes, and her teeth have STRONG Japanese features
    10
  4497. Her mandarin is extremely great! The pronunciations is flawless
    10
  4498. 7:35 everybody wear glasses

  4499. Chinese don’t very often express their emotions explicitly. It might the case that they Calmly answered your questions yet was like (omg this foreign lady speaks such GOOD CHINESE )
    10
  4500. We're blessed to have you here. It's hot summer so stay healthy.
    10
  4501. Thank you for this remarkably informative documentary!❤️
    10
  4502. Wow she's super cool. I would totally jam with her.
    10
  4503. Your language skills are amazing! Just shows that people would rather make friends than make enemies.
    10
  4504. There's something adorable about putting a smile on an older person's face
    10
  4505. It's not only you speak their languages perfectly but your smile and the positive energy you radiate makes people loving you so much!
    10
  4506. YOU GUYS ARE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE!! I love you so much :’) glad i stumbled upon your channel!
    10
  4507. Anyone could be confused after seen that toilets😂😂😂

  4508. The music got me thinking the phantom troupe gunna attack any minute 😂

  4509. I am way too conservative for some costumes lol

  4510. Once again Anming produces a superior video about being able to speak the language of the country that you're in. Of course, she is better at it than most. I am always in awe that she can effortlessly switch between four languages in one conversation. She doesn't just speak language lesson phrases, but uses the everyday vernacular used by people. I'm one of those foreigners who can parrot basic phases and expected text book responses, but unlike her contractions and phraseology used by native speakers can confuse me easily. Everything she has about how most people react is on point. Most don't react, but children usually do. Even more so when based on how you look when they have predetermined that you won't be able to communicate in their language. I've been working on my admittedly poor Japanese for years, and only within the last month have I been able to start extrapolating what is being said when it is a variation from text book Japanese. The only way to truly get better is to be immersed in the language and the environment, which for me means being in Japan. Why did I get better and continue studying. Well I challenged myself to accomplish proficiency in the language. I have Anming as an inspiration. She doesn't sugar coat the fact that it'll take hard work to achieve the goals, as many do. Join her Patreon it's well worth the minor cost and she will interact with you. But be prepared to hear the cold hard truth about the journey to learn another language. The Patreon content is similar to the main channels but different also. Sometimes it's more relaxed, other times it's more in depth. I benefit from being one of her Patreon's and in fact have told her that she should raise the price. She hasn't, Great video but they all are. I look forward to each and every video and am never disappointed because her content always exceeds my expectations, and entertains me, greatly.

  4511. I’m married to a Third Culture Kid. There are wonderful aspects of it, special gifts of navigating all the worlds—but it is also relentless and exhausting explaining one’s self continuously.
    10
  4512. it warms my heart seeing others spread joy I smiled so much during this video.
    10
  4513. Great video Anming. It's important to show, discuss, and bring awareness to the real even if it's not glamorous. Glad you weren't alone, although most people are harmless, you never know.
    10
  4514. Já cheguei deixando o like!😃❤️

  4515. The Japanese grandfather lovingly wore the hat of our country very well We, the Nepalese, are proud of our Dhaka hat. Thank you very much to everyone who made this video Jai Nepal
    10
  4516. This was really fun, I'm over in Lansing but have been to Detroit countless times. You really aren't lying with how far the city has come. Detroit still has a bit of a stigma but it's doing progressively better.
    10
  4517. I really liked the interaction at this supermarket!
    10
  4518. I recently self learned a few words and phrases in Mandarin, and went to the local Chinese buffet to try them out. I either failed miserably, or they just wanted to sell me. The waiter always asks what you want to drink (in English of course). I answered san shui. (there were three of us). Imagine my shock when he brought us three ice teas. I was pretty sure I didn't say ice tea but I was too embarrassed to say anything. I've found out since that he probably knew I ordered water, but I should have said "san bei shui" . (or san ping shui). But at the cash register, wow did they brighten up when I took my change and said "Xièxiè", and "Zàijiàn". That made me feel a lot better despite paying for three ice teas at $2 ea. that we didn't really want. lol
    10
  4519. "Western people speaking "exotic" languages is expressing colonialism" How about it's people appreciating another culture? How warped are people now-a-days? Sad.
    10
  4520. this is an example of a perfect video, just showing random stuff and everyday life in japan. if you're a fan of japan there's nothing more you can ask for. keep making these Anming!
    10
  4521. That hat belongs to Nepal, the country of lord buddha and Mt. Everest. Proud to be the Nepali.

  4522. I could listen to her and her sister Katie speak about their experiences all day!$!! I want there voices out there
    10
  4523. I love this video ! I’m a Chinese American guy who speaks Spanish with a Spanish accent. I feel like folks are getting more used to the inherent diversity of the world we live in - what May have shocked ten years ago is normal now. I welcome it, it’s awesome not to be treated differently :)
    10
  4524. They were probably just mad because they felt they had to wait too long 🌷
    10
  4525. Usually bots are what dislike or comment videos before they are even up. So be careful to even interact with them.
    10
  4526. Haters gonna hate, don´t sweat it. :) It was a great video . You are a natural for exploring and storytelling , keep up the good work.
    10
  4527. Girl. I was so relieved to know you weren't traveling alone when the clip of the man rolled. Stay safe. I love your content!
    10
  4528. congrats for the wedding. You two look amazing together.
    10
  4529. I’d love to see these friendships grow and hear more about these people’s journey. I’ve watched many of your videos and understand how you got to where you are. But how does a woman from Shanghai end up selling food in Japan? Love yer videos! Thanks 🙏🏻
    10
  4530. Anyways you can speak Chinese like a native so they do really mean it. They were just surprised seeing a foreign girl speaking their language. Great support from me Pearl. 💪💪👏👏Your Channel is really worth to watch. May be you might probably know Xiaomanyc. A guy from nyc who can speak Chinese like a native. His channel is also fun to watch
    10
  4531. I always enjoy watching your videos! So much positive energy ❤️
    10
  4532. The travel scam by some Chinese travel agencies has been a common practice for ages. They usually get customers by seemingly low fare, and then it will play out as you experrienced - going to useless sourvenir shops almost everyday, and extra payment, etc. They don't care how you feel about it, and they bascially assume you will never come again. But nowadays it's not difficult to find decent tourism packages that offer good experience. That being said, going yourself (自助游) is more common among young people.
    10
  4533. Thank you for your empathy toward some of the most vulnerable people all over the world. In a just society, we should make certain that everyone has access to the basic needs: adequate shelter, safe water, healthy food, medical care. In Japan, I would add the ability to dispose of their trash without being charged, or just paying a few yen. In so many countries, when you add up all the money spent on providing services, I think the more reasonable option is to provide them with micro-apartments with very basic amenities in their rooms, and community showers. They don't need to build it in the most expensive areas of Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto, but in some of the most reasonably priced areas. There can be solutions and compromise is possible. If Finland can do it, every first-world nation can do it. It requires a commitment to solving the problem...NOT just covering it up...and it also requires empathy for those who are less fortunate. Subscribed.

  4534. It’s interesting that anyone would be that critical about your videos, and it’s intriguing that you mentioned it. I think a lot of YouTubers would be happy to be at your production level. Just as this video shows, you can’t hit everyone’s target at the same time. Perhaps YouTube comments are like learning a language, filtering out unfamiliar sounds and focusing your attention on individual pieces of information to grow and develop? Ultimately it’s about being able to communicate and you easily achieved that in this video. Thanks for sharing, entertaining and inspiring us. 😁👍
    10
  4535. Hi. Interesting video. Most of the videos about japanese out there call them "racists" , that they hate foreigners, etc. I'm glad you are bringing a different point of view. Thanks.
    10
  4536. 4:07 Accomplished everything in life right there, he can now die happy

  4538. Emi’s COURAGE Level was so High 🤦🏻‍♀️🔍💪🏽❤️👍🏽🥰! Anming, your Vlogs are always Interesting 🤔 and fun ! Loved this and I enjoyed watching new people who are just adorable and open to new challenges ! Stay Strong, Safe and Positive.
    10
  4539. I was the one that suggested this though kendo was my idea but this is gonna be great now I get to enjoy this video series whoop whoop
    10
  4540. Hah.. I guess I had never truly seen a majestic walk until now. So thanks for that.
    10
  4541. YouTube being the platform for language learning could be part of the problem here. You have to draw people in by posting entertaining videos with pretty good editing and production. But to actually educate people and help them in some way, it requires deeper understanding of the skill, which can't be faked and actually takes TIME. Unfortunately, it's harder to show true expertise and you have to be keen enough or have other's perspective to spot what's real or fake.
    10
  4542. The instant replays are 🔥 😂🤣😂
    10
  4543. Alright. You got me. I’m going to give Pimsleur a try with Korean. I agree with a lot of what you said regarding Tokyo schools. I first went to Genki JACs which is actually meant for westerners and doesn’t fit what you described but they only go to a low intermediate level. If you want to go higher it’s not a touristy school but one just like you talked about. I was the only the western person in my class (learning JLPT N2 level). Chinese students everywhere. Not the ones that speak English either. They were friendly but we had a real language barrier and they weren’t so serious about Japanese that they would switch to Japanese just for me. A lot of them did sleep in class or play on their phones instead of participating. I thought they were rude and it made me not want to go to class. The kid sitting next to me in class paid no attention and I assumed his Japanese was bad but in fact although he didn’t speak it he was quite literate and able to answer any test question perfectly I later found out. Still not a good environment at all. I would rather go to the country where you filmed this video. The sledding and skiing looks great.
    10
  4544. Aww, you guys are cute together; you look so happy :D
    10
  4545. Awesome production quality, Pearl
    10
  4546. Omgs congratulations! finding your one and true soul mate is wonderful! I found mine 15 years ago we've been married for six years and have two children!( that are 14, and 4☺) Congratulations and many blessings for your bright future!
    10
  4547. I don’t celebrate Halloween anymore but it’s cool to see all the costumes that everyone dresses up as and it’s great that your mom got to be there! She definitely had a lot of fun and I was really surprised seeing a lot of more foreigners in Japan but then again since the borders are open it makes sense so looks like it was a nice safe day to celebrate
    10
  4548. your pronunciation in chinese is awesome
    10
  4549. I love different culture
    10
  4550. You are a good content creator generally, but I especially love the videos with you and Tommy together. I like to see you happy and exploring.
    10
  4551. I don't speak a word of "Chinese" or Japanese and even I'm blow away by her fluency.. interesting vid.
    10
  4552. I love the Japanese culture of "wrapping" =). Soooooo important to look nice, safe and clean ^^
    10
  4553. Loved your conversation with shanghai girl haha 5:01 that view is amazing,i bet nobody noticed! when i speak hindi in indian restaurant sometimes i get free Lassi,15% chance! thumbs up :D

  4554. It´s great to know you are living the life with your boyfriend. Just enjoy it, thanks for sharing. :)
    10
  4555. I just saw your wedding and it was beautiful. I cried for you even though it's well past the time. I'm so glad you found the love of your life. May you both have a wonderful marriage

  4556. 我的天 is really really Northeastern. They always say that interjection.

  4557. Great video and She is beautiful too, greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
    10
  4558. Loved loved love seeing these different scenarios. Keep smiling and laughing. You have such great energy. I enjoyed exploring another culture with you and can’t wait for the next vid.
    10
  4559. Great ideas! Shortly after I married my husband 27 years ago, I could not find ANY written or recorded instruction or classes or even tutors or guidebooks in Cantonese. There was no internet at that time. The problem was my husband only knew spoken (family only) Cantonese but no Mandarin. My in-laws knew both. We tried learning Mandarin together but couldn’t stick with it. On the other hand, my in-laws went to Panama when they left HK, so my husband and his sister grew up speaking Spanish as well. We always went to Spanish-speaking countries for vacation and since I took Spanish in school, I think I’m closest to becoming fluent in this. I recently had renovations done in my house that took a month, and had the same 4 or 5 guys in and out all day, and I practiced my Spanish with them, all day long. Two did not know English, so we both used google translate and kept going back and forth practicing. It really helped me but I can still understand way faster than I can speak, so I get frustrated. Listening to kid shows in the language you want to know is def a good way like you said - much slower
    10
  4560. I've been self studying for around 3 years now and recently, I was wondering what it was like to study in the big cities like Tokyo and Osaka and becoming somewhat jealous of people who got the chance to go and do that. However after watching this video I feel glad that I have self studied. I think I pictured such a wonderful image in my head but this video has made me feel more confident not worrying when I do eventually go there. I think many people forget that language is there in order communicate, not to "look good" for tests. Thank you for making video's like this. ✨ありがとうございます🙏
    10
  4561. These kids are so cute!! 💜I really love when you and other youtubers get together to spread the smiles😁😁
    10
  4562. Japan is very beautiful place to visit.
    10
  4563. My toddler took over the TV and I just love your channel. This lockdown is insane especially in such a small island like Faroe islands. Enjoy your food and safe travels to all places you go❤.
    10
  4564. In Japan the Chinese workers are so friendly. I only wish I had learnt some Chinese so I could have spoken Chinese with them. A lot of Chinese in Japan speak good English too.
    10
  4565. Very cool interview 😊👾🍻👍🏻 She sounds more American in some ways with her accent. I could barely hear her New Zealand English accent at times.
    10
  4566. A relic left from the past.. yep, it happens every now and then but it doesn’t bother me .. I hadn’t thought about it much until you asked :)
    10
  4567. As a Vietnamese, im happy to see you trying to learn Vietnamese. I heard from foreigner that Vietnamese is a very hard langauge to learn and as a Vietnamese who returned from abroad, i also find learning vietnamese to be difficult task. I wish you luck on your learning journey
    10
  4568. Tell the guys with the short shorts 🤣 Anming really read my mind! Lmfao The guy “driving” you two was so funny and sweet lol Great questions by the way! Really letting us know the culture in Japan!
    10
  4569. Haha you two trying outflex the other's mandarin. On a serious note. I have been following your channel almost since the beginning and I have to say how amazing it is how you and the channel have grown. Back then you were on 13k subs and I remember you worrying about how you were going to reach out to more viewers but look at you now!. You kept with it and now you are on 134k
    10
  4570. Always wanted to go to Japan, now I'm most definitely going and finding people to beyblade with lmao
    10
  4571. Good job trying new foods! If we thought about what sausage, nuggets and hot dogs are made out of, we'd realize we eat all the same things that we consider "unusual "in other cultures. You've eaten pigs ear and organs in other forms probably without realizing. The texture might be a little different but meat is meat.
    10
  4572. 5:32 I like hot men Ah i see your a man of culture as well.

  4573. It's this kind of stuff that makes your content so unique. You show stuff that many foreigners don't know about, and therefore unless they happened to walk down the right street or alley wouldn't discover. I had heard of beyblades, but until I saw your video I didn't really know what they were. Every country has it's touristy things that are all worth seeing, but that is only a sliver of the country and culture. When people are able communicate, automatically the interactions change how individuals perceive what they just experienced. I'm looking forward to your livestream and hearing about your life updates.
    10
  4574. its true lol, I went to japan 6 years ago and every kid I met on the street said hello to me and were really ecstatic when I spoke Japanese back, its so wholesome and adorable. Same with the elderly, its so cute
    10
  4575. You're both so pretty omg. And she's so lovely 🥺💕
    10
  4576. I didn’t know that Japan celebrated Halloween. That’s very cool. Love your videos.
    10
  4577. A touch?? This lady went moved across the world to a foreign country, and approaches strangers in said foreign country to speak to them in their native language, and is a Youtuber, and skydives... more than a touch of extrovert id say.
    10
  4578. Extrañaba este tipo de videos. Un abrazo desde Perú 🇵🇪
    10
  4579. Your sense of humor and positivity shine through in every video. Even the sad ones. I hope you keep making these videos for a long time. Somehow I feel like I know you. Maybe in another lifetime in China. In any case I will keep watching.
    10
  4580. A few years ago I found someone ftom the UK doing live videos as he walked around Hong Kong and became fascinated with learning about that area. I finally got my courage up and tried saying ni hau in a Chinese restaurant. Since rhen I've been given a few short lessons and a few additional phrases so have clicked on your class link and will explore it. Thank you for encouraging people to learn.
    10
  4581. Finally a new video. I’m a Chinese learning Japanese recently. I liked your video. Hopefully one day I can speak Japanese as fluent as you.
    10
  4582. This was great, Anming! Would definitely like to see more of these "Day in the life" type of videos about Japan.
    10
  4583. WoW! This is impressive. I never thought something like this existed in Japan. I guess, Japan is hiding its slums behind the facade of its wealth. But for some reason, I find these 'slum people' kinder than in any other wealthier cities. Also, is it just me or do they speak, and understand more English than in other big cities? 😅 Nevertheless, I respect you Pearl for raising awareness. This is mindblowing. 🙏 P.s. 11:57 - for a second I thought that was a corps under the tree but that's just my first illusion 😅
    10
  4584. Nice to see you again Michigan girl....love your videos.😎
    10
  4585. Xie Xie is the only chinese word I can understand HAHAHAHA

  4586. "It's raining noodles today" that's my kind of heaven 🤣🤣 thank you for this beautiful video ❤️

  4587. 9:20 the poor guy has no arms. He needs twigs as arms to wave to you and the passerbys.
    10
  4588. Your videos are awesome Ann. Don't listen to the snobs! I really like it when you interview people that are not Asian living in Asia. I live vicariously through you and them. It's a tragedy that she lot her accent. (Ausie and Kiwi accents are so cool) I do understand her losing her accent though. I'm from Canada, but I've lived in the US for 18 years. Although people still can tell I'm Canadian, they tell me I don't have much of an accent.
    10
  4589. The 3 shrimps in the middle were so cute :) I am glad you had a beautiful and cozy New Year celebration with the family.
    10
  4590. What a trip, in many ways!!!!! Liked seeing our country thru Tommy’s eyes. Forget what a land of abundance we are. Lots of things are supersized (for better or worse) and I take it for granted. Subbed to your channel after seeing the first video, enjoy it immensely. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
    10
  4591. the Instagramer was really cool! I couldn't stop looking at her look, amazing!
    10
  4592. おめでとうございます！
    10
  4593. I just want to say thank you for uploading the content that you you do to YouTube! AS a person who been trying to self teach herself Japanese since middle school listening to your videos help me I recognize for recognize the language better by ear with the occasional I can pick out a few words and translate them in my head. I can't wait for some things to open back and because I'm hoping my college will start back up japanese classes , it's been my dream to take a trip to Japan. Anyways long rant aside I hope you and your family and friends have a great holiday!
    10
  4594. Thanks for sharing intimate moments like this one that really pulls us in and makes us feel like we are experiencing it ourselves! Congrats on your upcoming marriage!
    10
  4595. Oh my gosh your stories bring back so many memories when I was travelling the world =) I stayed 1 year in Peru and we went weekly to the markets to buy our food stuff. They had little street food shops there were we always stopped and had a hot dog (very Peruvian ^^) and a milk shake. The owner often prepared a very delicious meal with meat, potatoes and garlic and herbs that smelled wonderful. I always said next time I will order that. One day it was that "next time" ^^ and I ordered it. It tasted as great as it smelled. After 3 or 4 swoops with my fork I noticed that the meat was unusually shaped and asked what animal that meat was from. Chicken was the answer and I was glad and took another great tasting bite but kept inspecting the food. I saw suddenly that the odd shapes were lots of "rings" and although it already dawned on me I asked "What part of chicken??" He answered with a "small intestines"....... From one second to the next I couldnt eat that stuff anymore (I just eat muscle meat). To be not offensive to the chef I just stumbled an excuse that came to my mind "Ohhhh I am so sorry but I can not eat that. My religion prohibits me to eat intestines!". My ex-wife then no ex-wife but just wife fell laughing from the stool as she knows I am agnostic and blew my whole cover story. But the chef was very cool and was laughing tears with my ex-wife while I stood there befuddled and ashamed ^^ But it is a wonderful story to remember =)

  4596. “Your Chinese is good”because your a novelty to those you meet, a blonde goddess with a effervescent personality and mad language skills ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    10
  4597. 3:36 is what my parents did with us too. Up until primary we strictly only spoke one language with each parent. Somewhere down the line we also started mixing them up. It is the most hilarious thing if you speak to your sis in a group of friends and don't even realize you switch between languages all the time and your friends thus can't catch the context
    10
  4598. I think he is a very well adjusted person. He is an excellent example of someone able to deal with hardships and have a wonderful attitude. 😊 And what he faced is understandable considering his unusual circumstances. His parents should be commended as well. I have no criticism for his fellow Japanese.
    10
  4599. My father taught himself English when he moved to the states from Canada by mostly watching TV.
    10
  4600. When I saw Shuri castle on fire, albeit not being a Japanese, my heart broke into pieces! Watching the scene on NHK world left me speechless! I visited Shuri castle a few years ago and kept thinking about those precious artefacts that are all gone! You must be glad to capture Shuri castle on video!
    10
  4601. Those chocolates look so delish 😋
    10
  4602. Isn't it hard to sit with the obi on?! 😅 I find it hard sometimes haha
    10
  4603. When I was 20, was stationed in Japan in 1988-1990. As a tall, blonde haired blue eyed female, I did get quite a few stares. Everyone was very polite and kept to themselves, unless I initiated the conversation, particularly with people my age — they often seemed excited to practice conversational English and I loved to practice my Japanese! My American friends and I would go to Tokyo Disneyland and the school kids would ask to take pictures and sign their autograph books. Such a wonderful place to live and an amazing culture of kind hearted people!
    10
  4604. Note to self: if I ever visit a packaging-oriented country like Japan, I will invest in a good pair of scissors.
    10
  4605. I want to know about the cart lady. I wonder if she has a family, kids, what her husband or boyfriend does, and how he feels about her work pushing a cart. It seems probing to ask, probably impolite -- but she was happy to ask about you about your situation so I'm sure she couldn't have been upset if you had asked her about hers, would she? I know Chinese street vendors are happy to talk about their circumstances.
    10
  4606. Absolutely the Philippines! :) Japan is also very naturally beautiful and is more convenient in many ways, but you have a lot of different environments in the Ph, from cool pine highlands and ancient rice terraces in Baguio, Sagada and Banaue, to high paced urban Metro Manila, to idyllic tropical islands in the Visayans and Palawan, and even an area that looks like the spitting image of Ireland called Batanes, and all of it much lighter on the wallet and without having to learn anotber language just to get around. I used to live and work in Japan, so it will always be a country close to my heart, but as a Brit-Fil the Philippines is my 2nd home and can't speak highly enough for it :)

  4607. ▓▒░  Thank  goodness  I  wasn't  eating  when I  watched the  skydiving in this video. I would have choked and struggled to breathe and  and . . . I would have fallen over dea this chair.  ░▒▓ `

  4608. Dryers normally need 240V and consumes a lot of electrical power compare to a washer plus hanging clothes to dry in the sunlight offers benefits such as your clothes smells sunkissed and all germs are killed with the UV light ...even Celine Dion says she missed her clothes being hung outside like her mom used to do. Also most water heaters are solar powered in China because again water heaters are energy hogs.
    10
  4609. I'm always envious about Japanese school uniforms, they are so freaking stylish. Unlike here in my country where you'll look like a potato when you wear school uniforms.
    10
  4610. You look so beautiful in your wedding dress. I'm so sorry that your parents couldn't be with you both on your special day. I hope you both have a wonderful happy marriage together and look forward to more happiness and love in the future.

  4613. Hi Anming! You showed up in the [Shibuya Walk in Tokyo] Halloween Night video by Japan Walk [Together Walk] from 58:15 to 58:35 and from 1:01:30 to end of the video. Very cool how you guys were taking YouTube videos at the same time for Halloween in the same place.
    10
  4614. Great stuff! What an incredible insight combining Eastern-Western insight, some of your best content yet!
    10
  4615. A Dutch who can speak 29 languages? That’s awesome! I think he is hardworking to learn how to speak the languages and cultures from each country, which can increase his interaction skills with the locals. (mind blown🤯)👏🏻😮
    10
  4616. I love the style of this video. No need to do reaction videos every single time. People appreciate real content not just slapstick humor.
    10
  4617. I already said it before but, you will go very far and I will continue supporting you because you have a great talent in what you do and love 🍷
    10
  4618. Gratz on 1 Mill Pearl...Been great watching and subbing to you for all these years.
    10
  4619. I LOVE THE 13 STEP. INTL' DATING. 😂
    10
  4620. Wow the anti polyglot videos are so absurd. I love watching genuine reactions of people speaking a native language unexpectedly. Some people are so cringe inducing. Walter is awesome.
    10
  4621. I definitely want to visit one of the earthquake simulation places that Japan has once I’m there. I’m not familiar with earthquakes at all being from Canada. I want to learn more! The non reaction to the shaking is definitely a shocker to my point of view.
    10
  4622. It seems if a person doesn’t watch consistently You Tube decides what a person should watch ...I have missed some new videos because I didn’t get a notification and only knew when a different video popped up days later and noticed I missed some .
    10
  4623. Just keep doing what you like, people will come...They need to find you first ;)
    10
  4624. I thought I left hunter x hunter playing in the background, I know I am not the only one.

  4625. He's so cute
    10
  4626. You are so beautiful ❤️
    10
  4627. I am touched by how beautifully you two have joined cultures. It truly gives people hope that humans can embrace each others differences. I don't mean to be rude but as you two are from a younger generation I was surprised to see shark fin soup in your menu. I am not a tree hugger, save the world person but I do have empathy for animals. I have hope the younger generation will pave the way to a kinder treatment of both humans and animals 😢 🙏
    10
  4628. That feeling when you're a Finn and a polyglot (Fin, Swe, Eng, Dutch). Somehow I could guess that he was a fellow Finn by his appearance and expressions alone. You can leave Finland but Finland will never leave you.
    10
  4629. We are glad you are ok and can continue living your life. Great update, keep it up!
    10
  4630. You made a lot of effort to show Tommy many US American clichees. He really seems to have enjoyed them. As fas as I know baseball is quite popular also in Japan. Luckily Tommy managed to retrieve his passport.
    10
  4631. I really liked how happy and excited they were to talk to you.
    10
  4632. maybe you know this, maybe you don't; but just in case you don't ... that Torii gate you were standing in front of @7:25 leads to one of the most beautiful Shinto shrines in Tokyo . it's also super secret , or at least it was until Instagramers found out about it a few years ago. anyways, it's still an awesome place to check out. photo i took from the side/back exit a while back: https://www.alihajipour.com/Portfolio/i-tRJwjPr/A

  4636. After watching this it made me realise in Japan u can use the word 'sughoi' = 'amazing' again and again and again and it's normal
    10
  4637. This brought me so much Christmas cheer! All the interactions and the little boy Santa was priceless. You both were like carollers going around that was so festive. I like how you can bring people together and Tkyosam was a big magnet, haha. I'm wishing you a late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here's to another year of channel growth.
    10
  4638. Cool videos It's interesting to see another perspective of Japan. Maybe you could visit historical place next. Just a suggestion 🙂
    10
  4639. hey i liked the style of this video, well done. and the slow-mo replay moments were hilarious :p also the guy you got buried with looked so thrilled to meet you and exchange socials with you
    10
  4640. Im glad to learn why they eat basashi. It shows the meaning behind it since in America it is illegal to eat horse. Just knowing how other cultures see it, it makes you feel differently and look at a different perspective. That's one of the reasons why I love watching your channel. I wouldn't be afraid to try it either. I want to travel to Japan and many other places to learn and try new things without being afraid or nervous of offending them.
    10
  4641. Happy Halloween! Great to see you interacting with so many people. Hope you had lots of fun.
    10
  4642. I never get tired of watching your videos it's honestly addictive 💕💒🌟⚜️👑🥝🥰💖🌷🤭🌸✨😊🍓📌🎂🎉❤😊❤😊

  4644. Two beautiful women with great personalities and speaking japanese at the same time. I love it. Kisses towards you oriental pearl muah.
    10
  4645. you are inspiring! Your courage to interact with different people: I guess when they say you have a Chinese accent, it probably means you sound like china’s Chinese? For example, Taiwanese sounds more gentle, Singapore chinese sounds quite flat. And Malaysian Chinese has a different tone as well.
    10
  4646. The gentleman was absolutely lovely. He has all that is required for a comfortable living. Thank you for allowing me to see another side.
    10
  4647. I don’t feel identity problem when I speak English. I don’t understand why speaking Chinese become a problem.
    10
  4648. Obrigada !

  4649. ▓▒░  When you eat something NEW for the very first time, you'll become like an infant tasting solid food for the very first time.

    10
  4650. Me again lol My granddaughter (very young) had some comments on your video. She likes your mask. Thinks you a pretty, But most importantly she said "Wow! They are just like us ... mostly, because I can't read their signs or understand them when they talk" It gave me a chance to talk to her about her having the ability to understand it, but told her it is up to her. Now all I hear is "Kon'nichiwa" lol but it is a start ... thank you
    10
  4651. imagine how many peoples' days u made just by doing this. You're such a kind soul dude. Can't wait to move to japan when the country opens up and I'm done my degree
    10
  4652. I am learning Korean but with a full time job + I decided to go back to studying, it goes slow. But every week I am learning something new. Good for you that you had time to learn more languages. :)

    10
  4660. I stayed in the area on my last trip to Japan. I liked it. It felt more real and authentic than the other areas I visited on my six week trip. It was a friendly area, and at no time did I feel unsafe. Minami senju is also well connected to public transport, and you can easily walk to the Tokyo Tower.
    10
  4661. You've inspired me to start learning Chinese and Japanese, thank you! Watching these videos makes me want to study so hard lol

  4663. Well said and v timely, Jessica has taken the time and effort to learn the language and culture, deserves respect not bashing from internet trolls! This whole 'cultural appropriation' thing is a fake issue
    10
  4664. You both looked like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing.
    10
  4665. Great vid Pearl! Keep the content coming, it's always super interesting learning about Japan and the people. Looking forward to the next one :)
    10
  4666. You're always so entertaining.

  4667. Love the beautiful architecture there😍 I’m so excited that you already submitted your thesis..fingers crossed for you!! Can’t wait until you get to go back to China and get your Masters. That was a lot of work ❤️
    10
  4668. Your job seems very progressive and such a fun environment, almost casual! I love casual classy spots. Not too formal that you can be your unique personality but still be professional! Definitely seems like a great place to practice Japanese to tweak all those mistakes and for formality practice! Stumbled across your videos a couple weeks back and I absolutely love them! Especially want you to know, After your video and post last week, just keep making your content. It’s always going to be great to have and this little niche loves your vids, I promise 😉

    10
  4692. It's really unfortunate to see so much mutual hate from each country... as much as I understand how complicated their histories are it shouldn't be taken out on the people, especially people that weren't even alive during the major conflicts. Also, did that guy take a photo of you at 3:35?

  4699. If you do a Q&A with Katie, I actually had a question maybe BOTH of you can talk about since it would provide the perspective of someone who grew up there versus someone (relatively) new to Japan. I've seen videos of Japan in terms of "making friends" where people, especially foreigners that move there (but locals too), say they make a lot of friendly/cordial friendships, but not a lot of deep PERSONAL friendships (in terms of people sharing a lot of themselves with each other). I just wanted to know if you guys have heard people express the same (that you don't make a whole lot of deep connections)? And or whether not you guys feel or have experienced the same?

  4706. Massive respect in your efforts to give honor to your fiance's parents , I can see in their subconscious actions they appreciate you without trying to say it too much. They clearly acknowledge and accept your presence into the family by visiting the church instead of the temple on New Year . . . Respect received from the respect thatwas given

  4707. That was lovely! Everybody put a smile on my face all the way though. Thanks for the great video!

  4709. "because I love people so much I want to have coffee with the whole world"... that's why i watch your channel :)

  4710. Hi Anming, I just wanted to say I'm loving your content recently and I'm so happy to hear you have a lineup of content coming up. I started watching your channel around last year when it was mostly just videos of you speaking to locals, and seeing how far the channel's evolved warms my heart. I love this down-to-earth tone and you motivate me to keep working hard as I attempt to learn Japanese and the culture. Sending lots of love!
    10
  4711. This is very nice. Being Asian myself if you just have one son. Parents tend to want to stay within race. I'm glad they accepted you very well. They love their son to be open minded and are happy as long as he's happy.

  4712. The perfect couple home 😊 a bit more space, but cosy and intimate, I love it! I know you'll want to buy something bigger someday, but I hope you have some beautiful years in this home first, as husband and wife 😲😁

  4715. The reactions of the other people are priceless. The pause edits made all of that so much better!

  4716. i really love Japan, Friendly and Polite people🇯🇵🎌🇯🇵 Love from Philippines🇵🇭

  4717. Why can't they do that here in the States? 🤔 I needed to go to a local Japanese grocery store to find myself a mimi-kaki
    10
  4718. Nothing beats japan in the entire world. Japan is amazing! its because japanese people are caring and disciplined tho lonely. On the other hand, filipinos are easy go lucky-just happy-free spirited people tho majority are devoid from material wealth so they tend to be abusive and dishonest in terms of money handling. am half japanese-half filipino and i love both countries. honestly speaking, if you only filipinos are as honest & are as disciplined as japanese, then philippines is best place on earth... But i can't complain-There's nothing perfect in this world.

  4719. The “recalibration” thing is so real! I learned Greek in Greece in my late teens, and went back and lived there for four years - my tone of voice is different in Greek, my humor, my gestures. (Sometimes I have to filter them when I’m in the US because they make no sense here). After that I spent 14 years in Turkey, another language, another personality. Actually they have an expression for that in Turkish - Yeni lisan, yeni insan / New language, new person. (Actually I think it’s from Arabic but it translates perfectly - Lisaan jadid, insaan jadid). Actually what I miss most about living in Turkey is the kind of linguistic humor you can do with people who speak both languages. Throwing Turkish particles and English for extra meaning, (Of course ki!), using a Turkish reported or inferential past tense in English. “He’ll be here at four, muş.” And the other way around as well, in monstrosities like “İnanılfuckingmaz” - Unfuckingbelievable. :-)

  4720. Congratulations . Have a wonderful , life together.

  4721. I lived on Oahu for 22 years and completely embraced the multi cultural lifestyle. I love languages and try to at least learn polite phrases in the language of each country that I travel to. So far I have learned some Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian,Bahasa , Thai, and Swahili and a few more. My dream is to achieve fluency in at least one. Swahili is my favorite. I’m really inspired by your wonderful videos.

  4722. What a great start to my Monday morning! About to make some breakfast and watch this alongside. :D

  4723. Thank you for making this video, Oriental Pearl! You continue to give us westerners some strength. So many gatekeepers when I speak Chinese to my 中国人 husband or try to learn Japanese...

  4724. I like your videos, perfect for learn japanese culture and have a good time with you !

  4725. Well, it was a dog gone good day to be walking around Tokyo. Now a word from our Sponsor Anming's Patreon - Oriental Pearl. Really good content and it would be cheap at twice the price. It would be a dog gone shame if you don't join. Great relaxed video. how he keeps the dogs from getting all tangled up is a mystery. Thanks for another side of life in Tokyo.

  4726. kick ass tattoos, great smile and awesome personality! them boys are missing out! stay strong and positive ladies!

  4727. Good advice Anming, I use Hello Talk and Tandem to find Tagalog language partners. sadly as I'm in the UK I can't find anyone close to me, but I sometimes speak to people who work night shifts etc in the Philippines, theres also a few hours each day when we can text / talk. Just be aware that some people try to use them as dating apps rather than the intended use!
    9
  4728. I love these videos and I love languages. Japanese is a favorite, but I have only mastered two ( Eng/Span). I have to fully immerse myself because I have Asbergers syndrome and it slows my learning curve.
    9
  4729. My dad was also a polyglot, knew five languages, initially, German, Hungarian, Rumanian, Italian and the last he learnt was English. He taught me NONE OF THEM because he didn't want me to be "out of place" in an English school. I suppose he wanted me to blend in as much as possible.
    9
  4730. You meet the most interesting people.
    9
  4731. Another way of learning language which my tutor told me many many years ago. If you can, stay at the country the language is spoken. For at least good few years. That way, you are forced to communicate with local people with their own language. I'm talking of experience. Born in Hong Kong, moved to Sweden when I was 5. Lived there for 15 years before moving to UK. So I speak, Cantonese, Swedish and English. If you really want to learn. Go out and see this world. It definitely helps.
    9
  4732. I don't like when they put "perfect" in the title when they had just barely learned the language

  4733. May I ask what is a bigfoot in that area 7:00 ? Is it monior lizard, Gozilla's cousin ?

  4738. Here's our girl, bringing us another interesting video complete with smiles and laughs! The conversation with the guy on the scooter was another page of a good book, Anming.

  4739. I live in Osaka, and this is so true! I’m a hāfu, so I knew Japanese from birth, and it’s hilarious at times
    9
  4740.  @OrientalPearl  you sure did brought it upon yourself LUL paid a lot of money to maybe see new places only do stand and pose. let's hope they don't keep you for hours signing autographs and posing, that's itself is a costly holiday

  4741. 美女你这中文说的真好啊、

  4742. I love watching these videos! Not everything has to be loud and exciting. Sometimes, a fun and calm conversation is best! It really helps people like me who are trying to learn the language. I find your videos to be relaxing and entertaining!
    9
  4743. I am very grateful for your videos. They're a lot of fun and intriguing to watch. I'm still learning Japanese. Probably at kindergarten level though 😂

  4744. Glad to see you post again, I was just thinking about you the other day! Also, what a compliment asking if you are from the Olympics. you are so confident and cool. 👍

  4747. I just discovered your channel today and it has been a joy watching you. I hope you hit 1 million subscribers!!! I think I would react with astonishment as well if I met and American speaking Chinese or Japanese. It's quite the novelty and its very impressive considering the amount of dedication it must have taken. Thanks again...
    9
  4748. These sorts of videos are really great. It's wonderful to see how much friendlier people seem to become when they realise you can speak their language. Imagine a world where everyone could do that; I reckon there'd be far fewer conflicts.
    9
  4749. Hi, I'm also an American living in Japan currently. (Came for 3 months originally, but given the current situation, will be staying for 6 months now and am trying to find a way to get a long-term visa). I'm curious how you found your roommates and place to live? I haven't heard you describe that process in any of your videos. Thanks!

  4750. wooow great video! So cool to see this collab, I love both of your channels! You guys are crushing it 💪

  4757. Loved this! the passion and dedication you have for your target languages is extremely motivating. I’ve been studying korean on and off for some while now but I realize I haven’t been taking it seriously enough. Will you ever do a video on how you approach language learning? I’m so curious to hear it from your perspective 😀 thanks for all the new content🤟

  4758. wow , It's accually an interesting topic for language learners , and I like how you cover every thing .

  4777. I just love how ur able to interact with the locals, and their so kind to you, that’s one thing I wish I could do when I traveled to Tokyo in 2016 and 2019🌸💗 hehe my Japanese was the bare basics😂

  4778. So amazing to see that the people living in this forgotten part ofJapan are so friendly and even willing to show you their homes. I was surprised by how clean the apartment was. So sad though to learn how many elderly have to live in such a slum. The situation on the other side of the river is really horrific. Do many people actully live in such terrible housing or are these mainly the remains of the big flood?

  4785. The population of Japan puts so much emphasis on education and work and being productive. Yet when they get too old to be "useful" it's like they are pushed away..hidden and forgotten. For all the time and effort they put into making their country better they should be rewarded and treated better. 🥺💜

  4787. It always amazes me how you do the language switch. I can switch between English and Japanese but any other language I keep switching to Japanese or freeze up trying to get my mind into the language I'm learning. It's amazing how you flick between them so well. And I love how real you are.

  4788. Speaking from a lucky married mans point of view - You have no idea how much he loves you! ❤️ I absolutely love your future together. Trust me he's thinking before he goes to sleep every night how lucky he is to have you. ❤️

  4789. I started studying chinese about 5 months ago, but I've started slacking... the harder it got, the more I started to forget my motivation. It's good to see other people who did achieve their goals to use as motivation that, if I put in more effort, I will eventually get there! so, thank you for sharing your story with us. It helps us people that are getting doubts about whether they can actually do it.
    9
  4790. And that's why I love Japan... as long he's doing his own thing without harming anyone, I don't care what he's up to... besides it gives some uniqueness to your surroundings..

  4791. Pearl and Tommy, thank you both so much. I feel so happy and am still smiling. How beautiful everything is were you were and I'm so happy that you both got to relax and enjoy your special journey. Much happiness for you both and your family. ❤ Thank you from Ohio in the USA.

  4793. You could hear that lady's disappointment when she learned you were married to a Japanese guy instead of to a Chinese one HAHAHAHAH xDD
    9
  4794. You speak at a set pace and I find it easy to pick out individual words in japanese and follow the conversation rather than the fast conversations of cathy cat or nobita. Currently hannah also speaks at a slower pace which I find easier to comprehend. Keep the video's coming as they are much appreciated , for when this horrible pandemic is over , my family and I will be on the first plane to Tokyo.
    9
  4795. I'm hoping to just get to talk to people when I finally get to travel to Japan and I know I don't need to be close to fluent to do that. It's so exciting the prospect of opening up an entire culture and people for myself to experience and show them that I am interested enough in their culture to take the time to learn and become proficient enough to speak with them in their native language.

  4796. Congratulations on 1M🎉😊 I love your videos ❤

  4812. Katie should start a YouTube channel, she’s beautiful, unique in culture and interesting and people world over are hungry to travel to little known worlds and places through other people’s life experiences, especially if they are quite different to their own.

  4814. Thanks for introducing me to Japanese culture. Always interesting to learn new things. Would love to try out such an onsen. The breakfast looked so absolutely delicious.

  4815. In spite of the poverty in this area and its inhabitants, it still feels and looks like a normal middle class community. This video simply highlights the disparity between a developed and a third-world country. In any case, your host was very admirable. His positive outlook really showed character. Thank you just the same for giving us a glimpse of how people (in Japan) live in different sectors of society. 👍

  4816. Damn, i envy them. I never had such courage even when i was a kid.

  4818. I love this channel. It’s always so positive, and interesting. I love it when people open their minds and explore. I have to admit you’re one of the best spokespersons for travel, Japan and language learning. Pimsleur would be well advised to hire you as a full time spokesperson. You are the best example of successful language learning! Keep up the good work and all the best! Brian in Toronto Canada! 🇨🇦

  4822. Would be cool to try this out, since I’m a few months in learning japanese. Shame is nobody near me knows anything besides myself (living in a small town in northern Spain). Oh well, at least there is Italki.

  4823. It's nice to see fellow Finn in your channel. I'm finn myself and I've been following you since you got 1500 followers and damn girl! Now you've got 64thousand! Nice work and hope you try to learn our language in future. I'd be knee!

  4825. Brilliant! When i first seen the title i thought she's not going there that's not her style.. then I thought maybe she's curious to see what the reaction would be. But then your brilliant mind came through. I'm glad you made this video. I agree most of the negative thoughts we think others might be saying is most of the time in our head. Great content ❤️ keep up the good work.

  4826. My friend and I were just talking about taking a 40 day seclusion challenge where we only speak, read, listen and watch things in Spanish. I went to Spanish schools, but have lost a lot of it somehow. So, it is great to find your 30 day challenge video. First I am going to get my Chinese up to A1 or A2 before bringing back my Spanish.

  4830. When did you start learning Japanese? I'm interested because I'm 13 and learning hiragana so I think it would be interesting to hear from a foreigner with fluency.

  4831. Congratulations to you both! Thanks for sharing your life with us. Living in Japan was one of the best experiences in my life. Glad I can peek into your world a little an reminisce about the beautiful culture of Japan.

  4837. I'll tell you my travel fail story Anming. 20 years ago I was travelling in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on my way back to the airport to leave Russia, 3 police officers in an underground metro station stopped me and used a metal detector on me, they said I had to follow them to the underground office. There I was put against the wall with my hands up, they searched everything, and my travel bag was behind me on the table so had no sight on it. The told me to go, and when I arrived at the airport to wait for my flight, I wanted to shoot one more movie. But noticed my camera and some other stuff was not in my bag anymore. Then I realized my things where stolen by corrupt police officers. And on the camera tap was a movie of my girlfriend, so very memorable things. I went to the police office in the airport. And an older friendly police officers made sure I received my things back. But he told me that "I had lost my things, not stolen". Police in Russia earned only 150 a 200€ each month at that time and is therefore corrupt as hell and making money wherever possible. For me it was very frustrating and I cried at the airport. If you even can't trust the police, the system is real sick! It was my last time in Russia.

  4838. that is absolutely insane level of study. 1 week at 10 hours is hard enough let alone 30. I was trying for 100 hours of 1 on 1 tutoring in a month and thought that goal was huge... I might have to rethink it. How much of your 10 hours was interaction vs study?

  4842. I love Japanese and other languages that are similar because there is just so much enthusiasm In everything they say. When you call his mom cute she really is just because her mannerisms are so kind and genuine. Plus the fact that some phrases have short words for Them such as “that was good” like if I said that after something in English it sound so awkward, Wish I could explain better
    9
  4843. thank you for interesting video
    9
  4844. Maybe content about getting a job in Japan would be interesting too! My half year of job hunting experience was hell and I'm sure most Japanese think about it in a similar way 😩 Also the process itself is completely different to Germany for example. (Btw I also only just started at a Japanese company here 3 months ago! 頑張ろう❗😊)

  4845. "The flavor is relatively good" Just because of her honesty, I would eat there!

  4846. I wish I could study Japanese but my stupid studies won't let me to do so >:( Also Oriental Pearl, do they teach how to write hiragana, katakana and kanji in japanesepod101 ?
    9
  4847. You make me miss Chinatown in Yokohama. I see there's a lot of new shops and places in your videos. It would be nice to go my old neighborhood. I really miss walking down by the harbor towards rainbow bridge. On Sundays it was always so busy, like carnival time. Thanks for the video! 🇺🇸⚘

  4848. I would like to meet this talented women, she's inspiring, humble and very cute!. Not to mention that I also play guitar and her genre of music. I also like her style of appearance, pretty cool. Keep it up with these vids! You too are awesome @Oriental Pearl :D

  4849. I have met people randomly on the street, at a bar, at a supermarket, or at a park here in America. It is amazing that people will know you the second time or third time around by a simple conversation. People that comment are either jealous that your channel have grown fast; some prefer to be a bully; or others love to continue to hate. Do not mind them, in which it does not bother you. At least, there are people like me that like to watch your channel.

  4851. I’ve always had an interest in learning Japanese, so I bought a kanji textbook a couple of years back that I recently looked at for the first time. I know I won’t learn the entire language from it, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to learn kanji as a hobby/for fun. Going to hit the book now and get off YouTube (yes, I was still watching 😆). Thank you for sharing your experience and providing guidance/motivation in this video!

  4852. I'm always so fascinated and in love with their immaculate packaging but also very curious about their plastic consumption haha

  4853. It's always so nice to tell random people that they look pretty. I like that positive energy.

  4854. Witness this first-hand, I had the same experience xD Everytime I switched to Japanese, no matter how bad it was, people would feel more at ease
    9
  4855. I love how open to conversation some people seem

  4856. As someone who natively speaks one germanic language and two latin languages, I can say most of these "polyglots" have super bad pronounciation. Also, im learning slavic language and can notice if people don't pronounce correctly.
    9
  4857. Beautiful wedding congratulations too you both. ♥️
    9
  4858. 7:06 I was waiting for it!!! hahaha... It's so fascinating at this point. You could learn some Russian and then really get everyone perplexed.

  4859. Love your channel. Back in 1971, I went to the University of Minnesota (USA). I met a Chinese girl in the student center and we started dating. Her parents had a Chinese restaurant and after class we would go there and come in the back door. Her parents didn't speak english, but her dad would wave a big knife at me as we walked through the kitchen along with yelling in Chinese at me. When I asked Joy what he was saying, she said you don't want to know. Joy would get in shouting matches with her mom over me. I got a lot of free food. Her siblings and cousins were Americanized and spoke english well, but the parents didn't. I should have married her, but was young and dumb. Maybe you should start up a "Learn Chinese for Beginners" class to support yourself.

  4860. I honestly had no idea that a place like this was in Tokyo, thank you for showing this!

  4861. Japanese people: Earthquake, smerthquake.

  4862. i am more of a dilettante in learning thai. i listen to xiaomanyc and oriental pearl because i enjoy their experiences and draw some motivation/inspiration from them in learning a new language despite my geezer status. i have raj’s book , cracking thai fundamentals,and am working my way through it. not many real shortcuts in this life. work at it steadily, immerse yourself if you can, listen to experts such as raj. take inspiration from some youtubers such as oriental pearl, raj, thai talk with paddy, xiaomnyc, , and tune out marketing/clickbait. above all, be polite and respectful and disregard the vitriol. xiaomanyc did the clueless white guy video that has a clickbait title. still his videos are fun and don’t ovepromise imho. love oriental pearl and stuart jay raj

  4863. Im still learning japanese and chinese but im glad your having fun enjoying yourself. Wish i could hang out with you but they banned foreigners from japan because of covid 19. Muah, much love and kisses towards you. We love you oriental pearl always.

  4864. Damn you had me tearing up at the end of this video.. it's good to see that you're safe and you're okay .keep making videos there's a lot of people that love your content. CHEERS EH

  4865. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you so much for inspiring me to start learning Japanese.

  4866. You guys are such a lovely couple. I wish you all the happiness in the world
    9
  4867. Hauntingly beautiful start to your best video by far brings back emotions of lost of people I knew and the good times we shared together will always remain as long as I remember them. The celebration and segment with Rody brings out the joy of engaging with people and the birthday celebration brings it all to a crescendo. The cake, pizza, and long noodles symbolizing longevity for you may just as well be a celebration at a 3* restaurant in Paris. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. We are blessed.
    9
  4868. I'd imagine a lot of people are jealous too. I hope they never sway you from what you're doing, it's great.
    9
  4869. I completely agree. I'm trilingual, but even though I learned Spanish and Italian at home FIRST before learning English I don't consider myself "fluent" completely, because I can't express myself technically (I'm a nurse, and I couldn't talk sciences, or philosophy, or anything highly technical) My comprehension is about 99% in both these languages, and I can make myself understood, but it still feels limited. It kind of makes me laugh when I hear people say they're fluent and then I hear their skills and they're barely comprehendible, and it sounds odd, memorized and phonetically a bit off.
    9
  4870. This was a great video. I liked being able to see the different, and more importantly candid, perspectives.
    9
  4871. well, you can always hit them with the reverse uno card: 英語上手ですねぇぇぇぇ。。。
    9
  4872. Can’t wait! I love the people’s reactions when they hear you speak Japanese and Chinese to them! ❤️ If you are up for a challenge, you should learn some Finnish next. 😉😄
    9
  4873. What a riot! 🤣🤣🤣 Always a great laugh! And no Russian comments this time?
    9
  4874. I really want to learn Japanese to a level where I can have little chats with people when I'm there - this is super motivational! :)
    9
  4875. Loved the British Royal Guard's impassivity!:D
    9
  4876. The stuff about you on Reddit had a lot of sexist crap on there too, which just goes to show how "moral" these people really are! For some reason they were also being transphobic. Why? I have no idea. I guess some people just want to find so called "excuses" to spread hate. You should just ignore them, they're ridiculous. I was tempted to comment, but I don't want to make things worse and argue with people who think trolling and sexism is somehow "moral" and probably live in their mother's basement. Anyway, in some ways trolls are good, because it shows you're getting bigger and have a lot of fans, so more people become jealous and hate on you but your fans always defend you. You're growing as a YouTuber, so be proud. :) Edit: Oh boy these comments are so cringe. Why are non-Japanese people trying to say your Japanese is bad? lol. I should stop looking now.
    9
  4877. Great video! It was nice to see a linear timeline of events. Hang in there, girlie... Loved your dress at the end!

  4878. Really enjoyed this, very personal and gives us a glimpse of your personal life.

  4879. ナンパ禁止😂 Indeed, there are "No Nanpa" signs in some places. Foreigners who can't read Japanese might not notice them though, as they are mostly in Japanese.
    9
  4880. I lived in Japan in the 1980’s and I enjoyed it so much. The people were so warm and loving. I have nothing but love and respect for the Japanese and have so many precious memories.
    9
  4881. I have been studying for Japanese for about half a year now and i really notice I’m getting better at it each day. I recommend learning Japanese to everyone
    9
  4882. Great advice! I need to approach people more, most of my Japanese friends initiated conversation with me... at izakayas 🍻. Starting with basic phrases/pronunciation then moving to particle usage/sentence structure worked well for me (for three years I could only read Roumaji, but illiteracy caught up to me after moving to Japan... "Osusume onegaishimasu" every time I couldn't read a menu got old fast)
    9
  4883. Japanese-American here and I can confirm. When I visit my relatives in Japan, I switch english to japanese almost effortlessly and I look more on my moms side (filipino/korean). So I get a lot of compliments, head turns, and friendly gestures like restaurant recommendations and local activities.
    9
  4884. Nose si hablas español pero... te admiro bastante y yo tambien aprenderé y dominare japones algun dia, por ahora estoy estudiando ingles... y tambien viajaré a Japon y disfrutar de todo alla. ES UNA PROMESA (a mi mismo :v)

  4886. Can't wait to see the video of Tommy at the shooting range! I was at the LAX Shooting Range once and a Japanese tour group came in. One of the employees of the gun range was a Japanese speaker and he had really cool assortment black powder pistols, revolvers, and modern handguns to demo to the group. The Japanese tour group was in awe! Would love to see how Tommy reacts.
    9
  4887. Great comparison between your Spanish learning and Chinese learning experiences. Arguably Spanish is much closer to English than Chinese is to English, so you're showing a living proof on putting your mind and efforts into what you want. Good going girl!

  4888. 这个老男人真的不会尊重你。 安明 你很棒啊！继续加油 继续出好的作品！

  4889. You are so awesome and are helping to give (frequently) mono-linguistic Americans a good reputation. Love your videos and sparkling personality and seeing Japan through your eyes.

  4890. That looks like the best Hostel I've seen and I've been to many. I did Hong Kong 12 bed once. I recommend "Oneday Sukhumvit" Hostel if you go to Bangkok. Meander Hostel if you go to Taipei

  4891. Anming roamed around that area like a breath of fresh air!
    9
  4892. I love it when she tricks someone 😂
    9
  4893. To add to this, street musicians and artists over there are also less shy. It's really easy to meet them! Japan is great for shy people, it makes a person less shy and more open. At least from my experience :)
    9
  4894. Awesome video. Nice to see other cultural habits. Culture is a feeling. Being at work with different people create a new cultural feeling. Talking about culture online creates a new culture. Living in another country creates a new culture. Only weird thing is that cultural differences, or basically experience other or new feelings with other people is still a topic in the 21st century. Should be outdated. Sticking to your own "culture" is a form of egocentrism. Egocentrism stands in the way of respect. "respect" .... Our highest and most fundamental universal norm and value. Respect , being a norm and value that comes naturally from the day we were born, is at the base of all our other norms and values Iike freedom, freedom of speech, equality, justice, religion etc. But beside of that I like to see these videos. It's a source of knowledge and love.... You've gotta to love it... 🙂
    9
  4895. I hope you reach one million subscribers by the end of the year, I always watch the videos to the end. I'm sure most people don't have a shocked reaction to a foreigner speaking their language, but I guess the few who do make good YouTube content.

  4896. 是

  4897. I saw a Japanese man snacking something inside the subway train, we in Singapore are not allowed to consume any food in the train, not even drinking water as you will get fine for up to S$500. My country is well known as a ‘ fine’ city, have said that, getting fined is a very rare occurrence, and the good thing is that our trains are always clean. Cheers!

  4898. I have started to learn Dutch many years ago becaue of a girl I fell in love with. A few years ago I moved to a City next to the Dutch Border. So I drove many times across the Border to go for shopping ans sightseeing in the Netherlands. Every time I started speaking in Dutch, the people most like ly were answering in german, espacially close to the border. The further you drive inwards the more the people are sometimes shocked hearing a german speaking dutch. Even though we are Neighbours by country, Dutch is not a common language to learn in school except for schools close to the dutch Border.
    9
  4899. Content creators must make videos because they study languages, and not study languages because they need content for their videos lol. I know who you guys are talking about. Learning to say some words in 1 week to then make a video saying they speak "perfect" or "fluent", whatever... One thing is using clickbait and another thing is straight up lying... O.o

  4900. Another super insightful and thought provoking episode, loving this interview series.

  4901. You both smart girls are happy to learn and accept Chinese culture，language , food and all sort of things . Sharing all the true things / stories about China . Thanks for sharing:)

  4902. Lol you showed japanese writing as you talked about learning Chinese characters. nice flex.

  4903. Recently your videos became my daily dose of internet. No overacting just good contents. You are such a genius. I'm also planning to come to Japan to do my PhD.
    9
  4904. 3:41 Try switching from Japanese and Mandarin with such fluidity that you can only sit back in awe and respect considering she is not a native. Also one of Pearls recent vids has over 19 million views in two weeks! While the haters keep hating you just keep creating!!!!
    9
  4905. I just love the way she shows the cultures of different countries. She is an absolute gem doing these podcasts. Please, please, please keep them coming ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  4906. You are so talented. Not sure I could hang in the hostels for more than a few days. Love your videos
    9
  4907. you know how to bring the funny to your videos, especially this one...really entertaining to watch and a lot of fun. both of you are great together...at times pretty hilarious😆
    9
  4908. First of all, Pearl great videos, you come across so genuine. For me, mostly Laoshu and Xiaoma inspired me to try to learn a language myself (Turkish), even though I have never enjoyed language in highschool and having dyslexia. It is fun to surprise native speakers but in the end I also learned to enjoy grammar and all those things I used to hate. Just saying, these type of vids DID inspire me to learn a new language that is not close to my native speach.
    9
  4909. "Your tummy is different from mine" Brutal honesty packed in cotton candy, draped with a pink bow and handed over with a smile. Welcome to Japan :-) But as someone born and living in Europe i'm used to it and i like it that way tbh. No blind-guessing what the other person might mean. Clear, direct communication that (most of the time) leads to no misunderstandings
    9
  4910. I remember that when I spoke Korean in Korea, people were staring at me and some asked how can I speak Korean so well lol.
    9
  4911. Thank you for the time you put into these videos. My wife and i love seeing Japan through you and your husbands eyes. one day we wish we to visit Japan, the hard part i feel will be wanting to leave. Keep up the good work, and Blessed be!
    9
  4912. Congratulations... He's one lucky guy. I hope you many years of happiness together. Although I'm jealous I'll continue being a loyal fan...hehe. Have a great week 😁

  4913. Thank you for making this video! I am a beginner in Japanese and I appreciate your tips!

  4914. I like that there are tourist attractions alive, walking around and interactive. :)

  4915. Ah, back to a language inspirational video and cultural video. Although language proficiency immediately puts visibly foreign people into different categories depending each individuals ability to speak and understand the language. However naturally blond hair is unique and unusual. People want to touch it to see what it feels like and often want pictures with what they view as exotic. So Anming you are truly a rarity because of your high degree of proficiency in Chinese, Japanese, and soon to be Korean, with Blond hair. This combination is going to surprise most people because they don't expect to find someone with your look, who can communicate highly effectively in their language. Hopefully, after the new year, Japan will reopen to individual travellers as closely monitored group tours won't meet my needs. The only plus is more time to improve my Japanese, until I can study in Japanese and be fully immersed in the language and culture. As always a great video. Looking forward to your Korean update video.

  4917. I thought you were gonna talk about stuff like “tension” or whatever the use sometimes.

  4918. Bingo! finally, someone talks about this! ^_^ Yes, it is, and this is the special thing which I believe not every country has the same culture as the culture in China, Taiwan, Korea, and all other Eastern Asia Countries, which have the same way to respond to complementary such as your Chinese or Japanese is good. After a long time, I am thinking why do they do such that way? I finally come to a conclusion, that we are foreigner, we don't speak like a native, I mean even though we are good at it, but there must be occurring some mistakes, there still are some flaws, that's why we response it by saying 哪裏？哪裏？ or 不會. Why do they say we speak very well? First of all, they feel happy when we talk in their language, I believe it happens also in a country like Mexico, when we speak Spanish they feel surprised about it. secondly, when they feel excited, they also want to give supports or encouraging us to keep study. so they always give us that good complimentary. 給我們加油！It's just my personal understanding and from my experience as well when I was in Taiwan studying Mandarin.

  4921. What a beautiful ceremony. 🙏🏻❤️Thank you so much for sharing. It was only marred by the “shark fin soup”. Especially cruel practice of how they harvest the fins😂. Some traditions I will never agree with, but I can only hope you are unaware. Love, life and happiness to you both. Your smiles are infectious.

  4941. Love this. I always wanted to speak Mandarin. Right now I am working on my japanese language to speak to my japanese friends. I have done that before, and they knew what I said in japanese when we were at a ramen restaurant. The cook at the restaurant was really surprised I speak Japanese. The look on his face was priceless and so I am thankful I got to use my japanese. It's very hard here finding people who could. Awesome video! Always loved your videos. :)

  4942. 08:45 I can't help but think about what if that would be the other way around gender-wise.... if 2 foreign young adult men approached a group of 3 high school japanese girls it's just insane to realize how it'd be seen in a completely different way

  4947. Omg sometimes you just gotta get shit done and you don’t have time for amazed reactions!like when I was staying at my friend’s house in China and I asked his Chinese wife in Cantonese if she knew if it might rain tomorrow because I wanted to hang my wet clothes outside, and she was like “哗！好标准！” but never actually answered my question!! 🤦🏼‍♂️ 😂 😭

  4950. It’s amazing. My mom spent some time in Japan back in the 70’s/80’s and she told me the same thing, how if you leave your bag somewhere, you’ll most likely find it sitting at the same spot. Still hasn’t changed:)
    9
  4951. Your out here speaking 3 languages when I can't even speak 1 properly😞

  4952. I love eating new things but I had the same reaction the first time I tried nattō!! The flavor is fine, it’s just the texture that makes me gag.

  4953. omg i love her videos sm theyre so wholesome

  4954. How could people not subscribe to the Oriental Pearl Channel featuring the amazing Anming, and her equally amazing friends. We can't leave out Tommy, her exceptional husband, whose proficiency in English is expanding greatly. Anming made me a insta subscriber when I saw how she interacted with people in their languages when possible. Switching between Mandarin, Japanese and English in the same conversation. Sometimes in the same sentence, even. Her advice on languages learning brought me to her channel, and continues to inspire me daily, to work hard on my Japanese proficiency and not slack off, or give up when it gets hard or frustrating. It will happen, it's a part of the process. So that's what initially brought me to the channel, but it's Anming's personality, warmth, spirit, inquisitiveness and yes her intelligence, that makes me a loyal and maybe a bit of an enthusiastic subscriber. This statement was not sponsored or remunerated in any way by the Oriental Pearl Channel. ( YouTube disclaimer). Her content has informed me in so many ways on the culture of Japan and the people she interacts with. Everyone one of her videos are an entertaining opportunity to learn and explore wherever her travels take her. Even New York City. Her proficiency in multiple languages changes the nature of her interactions with the people she meets. It opens doors that would be closed. Anming says she is surprised that a year and a half later she is remembered! I say in lifetime, how could one possibly forget meeting her.

  4955. wow, there is a church! and it is so big. I thought churches in japan looked like little wooden sheds hidden somewhere on the edge of town. And here is such a surprise. However for me personaly, it looks a little bit too modernist. But! The main thing is that there is an altar and a tabernacle. Honestly, I really enjoy seeing a church in japan, also I am glad that you, being far from your homeland, do not forget about the values in which you grew up (e.g. about the Catholic faith). Happy New Year!

  4957. Even if i understand very welI english and have a lot of vocabulary, I barely claim to speak english at all because my accent is too big. Can't imagine claiming to know more than 5 languages fluently.
    9
  4958. I would say your typical Finnish guy, not very cooperable. Much easier with Finnish women. ;-) Btw, good music in the background, totally fitting cuz it's something funny about the whole situation. I must say I didn't find the word Saippuakivikauppias very hard to prounounce. Must be cuz I've heard the language quite a lot in elementary school.
    9
  4959. I like the fact that you are such friendly and vivacious lady, always never fail to say some niceties to anyone you meet, being a girl of cause need to be careful, nevertheless always remember not to be nasty to people, I like the way you treat people! Cheers

  4960. Hi Ms. Pearl, Wow I truly enjoyed this video. It really made me feel good to see & hear you to ladies say what you did. I was so proud of you both. I'm near 70y.o. & it makes my heart glad to see that all is not lost with youth such as you two. I've only discovered you (2) in the last couple of day's thru a video you made with Xiamanye (in N.Y.) Hence I tagged onto you thru him, & JJsay's thru you. I"m amazed @ the courage you took locating to China; my hat's off to you. I wished I could speak every language so I also could break down the barrier's that we people have. God love all of you people who create content like this. Thank you so much for expanding my knowledge. Have a blessed day!! Illinois, USA

  4962. Your Channel is like Learning about asian culture but without traveling, makes me want to learn Chinese and Japanese too!! Greetings from México!! Wey!!! Saludos.

  4963. Once you have the confidence to use another language it is a wonderful feeling. Embarassment about making mistakes shouldn't stop you, it is part of the process. Although some care should be taken to avoid offence.

  4964. This was wholesome, fun and inspiring. I am trying to learn Japanese and Korean but I still have a long way to go lol
    9
  4965. Gotta say I love that you're trying out new and different videos, your presence really makes all kinds of content enjoyable haha. It's really interesting to watch you struggle in this one, since I'm Estonian and Finnish and Estonian are really similar. In the summer a lot of Finnish speakers come here and they'll talk to me in Finnish and I'll respond in Estonian. We usually understand each other perfectly well. It's quite surreal lol. I think they're really nice languages since everything is pronounced as it's written, but Estonian sounds a bit crisper in my opinion. Anyways keep up the good work!

  4968. I think it’s disingenuous to the point where someone is claiming to be able to do something they can’t. I agree there is a problem with a general lack of nuance. —> I only watch a select few language YouTubers due to that reason (because I can’t stand content low in nuance). When it comes to comprehension, in Romance/Germanic languages you can get to a good level of comprehension in a matter of months. But it requires a good level of metalearning ability and lots of activity (60-100 hours of efficient reading, 100-300 hours of passive listening to what you have read). Japanese would be another matter, maybe 10-20x or more that activity + the metalearning requirements are higher. After that (in Romance/Germanic languages) you can get to a conversational level of spoken fluency in a short period of time. That’s not to say your speech will be high in correctness. I think it is a matter of preference, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves about the opportunity cost. Learning more languages will give you less time to focus on each language. That’s fine for me. I love getting to high levels of comprehension in my languages (being able to read textbooks, listening to audiobooks etc.) but I don’t care so much about production ability due to the opportunity cost. But getting to high levels of comprehension in multiple languages is very much doable. Getting to similar levels of production and maintaining that ability is going to be a lot harder (the opportunity cost of building and maintaining that ability is going to be a lot higher). I agree with the impressing people part, it’s gotten to the point where I am aversive to people’s compliments, cringe at the showy off type of videos etc. E.g. the guy with the hat polyglot, his method is literally to go outside and find native speakers, say what you can, get motivated by their validation and keep going... I don’t want to be motivated by that sort of thing. I want the reward to be intrinsic in the process. But basically I prefer understanding lots of languages at a high level + being able to produce them at an intermediate level then having 1-3 languages that I can produce at a very advanced level. I simply don’t extract that much meaning from production. There are more meaningful contexts for me where just comprehension is more meaningful. Now if I moved to a country where they speak language X I would find speaking language X more meaningful and therefore invest more.

  4972. This video is kinda interesting. It shows some faces of 🇯🇵 which no tourist book ever shows. Like videos about the pop culture. But how is the video game related and whats the goal of nanpas? It is about film many women or kind of sexual thing?
    9
  4973. It's probably the first time ever, i saw you intimated by something, since i started watching your videos lol To put thing on perspective, in Thailand where i'm living currently, if a foreigner wants to become a Thai citizen, he needs to get approval by the king of Thailand himself and only a minority of "wealthy" foreigners succeeded so far. Great episode, come on where is your "i'm never scared" spirit, let it shine again ;) Have a great week and keep it up the great job <3

  4974. How many years have you been studying Japanese? You're so inspirational! 私の日本語はもっと努力が必要です。😂

  4975. I was in Kushiro-shi in Hokkaido because my wife was from there. I spoke little to no Japanese and them no English. They were so excited and curious I felt like a celebrity or maybe like a science project. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. I'll never forget that.

  4976. so talented

  4977. Fun video! So glad you were able to take Tommy fishing! My Japanese wife never took to fishing, although our son did! 🙂 I'd love to see you guys do an Asian baseball tour sometime. Perhaps take in one game at the home of an iconic team in each of the Japan, Korea and Taiwan Leagues. I would nominate the Yomiuri Giants (Japan), Kia Tigers (Korea), and Rakuten Monkeys (Taiwan). I think you would find differences between each baseball culture, which reflect some of the cultural differences between countries. Certainly I think you will be surprised by the energy levels in the stands - especially Taiwan!

  4978. Well, this tells me how bad my Japanese really is because I think only one person ever told me my Nihongo was good. I knew it wasn't, so polite was was that individuals response. The rest just tried to not cringe.

  4986. I'm a member of the Japan Association of Educational Psychology and regularly attend their study meetings at Waseda. Beautiful campus. I attended grad school in Japan but with one big catch. It was an online program through Capella University in Minneapolis. Graduated in 2014 and the rest is history. Really enjoying your vids.

  4988. Same here, I was living in Hong Kong for nearly 7 years when I found out my dependant visa expired after turning 21(applicable age for getting a dependent visa cause my parents have permanent residency in Hong Kong). I broke the law and went to court last year from June till December, luckily I was pardoned and now I have a 12 month period where if I commit any crime I will be instantly sent to jail for ignoring my pardon, added with period based on the crime committed. And with the current situation in Hong Kong I want to support the Hong Kong people but at the same time I would be commuting a crime. My last visa lasted till March, which I renewed and now it expires on July 21. I don’t know what I’m gonna do, I can’t leave Hong Kong as my family is here. I can’t move back to US(US passport holder) due to the situation there and I don’t know what I’d do. I don’t know if the immigration can renew my visa, or if I try to renew via leaving and reentering Hong Kong. I’ve never had experience with immigration in my life, and I don’t know if they would accept me back into Hong Kong. Life really freaking sucks right now, and honestly I’m scared shitless. I can’t sleep, honestly feels like life’s just a big slap in the face...... Even had times consider self harm, or even worse.........

  4989. Glad I caught this immediately! It's always very interesting to see these types of videos! I may not be able to travel very much at the moment, but I love studying langauges, and people even online are quite surprised when they don't expect a foreigner to know a lick of their language. 😜
    9
  4990. It's always crazy. That the first thing they think, is Russia when assuming where a foreigner is from lol. Always nice to see your videos pop up! Hope you're well. 🙏🏽 I bet these days too, not as many people have a huge reaction as much as people would think on YT. Especially if you're living in that country, they'll probably assume you speak the language if you're there. I definitely wouldn't visit if I can't speak it 😅 I'd be lost but hopefully one day.

  4992. Honestly, this is YouTube. There is no prerequisite as to what content should be provided or if it needs to be deemed to have relevancy or value. In that respect, you can and should be able to produce whatever you find interesting. If they have an issue, they have a choice to not watch…

  4994. First trip to Japan, my wife and I went to Kamakura. We got off the train one station before because the hike down to town had a lot of shrines and temples to visit. At one point, we were unsure of the route. An older gentleman walking in the opposite direction from us stopped and we managed to get through where we were trying to go. He turned around and walked with us, probably about half a mile, to show us the best way to get where we were going. We’ve had experiences like that in Kagoshima, in Tokyo and in Kyoto also. We’ve found the Japanese people to be reserved, but incredibly friendly and helpful.
    9
  4995. How have you been? Welcome back!
    9
  4996. This is great video, from your choice of location in framing appealing backgrounds. Of course the standout is Marintia who has great way of seeing and interacting with whatever environment she is in. Her personality just radiates positive vibes. The interactions you both had with various people showed how differently situations can be viewed, even by those involved. There were some truly comedic moments and profound operations and interactions. Moisturized hands is not a phrase one hears often. I really liked how this video show cased how interaction and engagement change when language abilities allow one to go beyond surface level communication.

  4997. i love your videos so much! im trying to learn korean right now and your videos are always super fun and interesting to watch and help me stay motivated!

  5002. Wow, this was an great video. And you're a very amazing person. BTW, I lived 54 years in Flint before moving to New Mexico in 2008, ( I hate Michigan's winters.!). Before I moved here, it seemed Detroit was making something of a recovery. (Fingers crossed) Again, thanks for a wonderful video, I loved every bit of it.

  5003. Just an honest question, are you getting tired always hearing that you are good in japanese?
    9

  5007. Tkyo Sam was the first Japanese youtuber I ever watched but his “online” personality was a bit too much for my taste. I bet as you said he’s a nice guy in real life but a bit too crazy... nice to see that you do collabs with all kinds of people though!
    9
  5008. I think a large part of the problem is that there are two types of people. Those that have no interest in travel, or just travel in the manner that is basically the same as the life bubble they were raised in. The others want to travel and experience the true culture including the language of other parts of the world. The media tends to highlight disputes between governments which colors the knowledge that those who have never traveled to those countries. They understand that they are different unique individuals, but view others as basically monolithic clones who are all identical. It makes it easy to have flawed ideas of what is like to live in a different country. This is not a limited to North Americans but to a lesser extent every different environment. This is no different that an individual who was raised and lived in an urban environment and one living and raised in rural Wyoming or Montana. Their views of the life are formed by the images presented in the media, and not real world experience. When you add the learning of a language that is not directly related to their day to day existence it increases the skepticism. Why are you learning Japanese? What good will it do you? Are you going to live in Japan? What's the point? When I say I find the language unique, challenging and fun to learn, some just can't comprehend that type of thought process. The But Why's just never end because the general idea is just such a foreign concept, that it holds little or no interest to them, so their must be something wrong with you. There must be hidden, unstated reasons why anyone would engage in this sort of endeavor. Another thought provoking video.

  5009. You really are great with changing languages so easily. I lived in Asia for 7 years, and mine stinks. Everyone wanted me to speak English all the time due to I am from the South and they wanted to hear my accent.

  5016. The hardest thing to understand is how Matt when he could have taken a break or learned a different language, he kept improving his Japanese. Pushing through those higher levels is so hard because of how much more of a time sink it is and how relatively small the rewards are.
    9
  5017. Some of them are exploitative but for the most part they seem like fairly harmless videos. Sure you’re not going to get very advanced level conversations but it shows how it easy it can be to communicate with someone you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. The ones I really dislike are those where they start filming people without asking/behaving generally creepy and then when those people eventually comment on them, they respond in the local language. Then pass off their weird behaviour as “Clueless white guy shocks locals with FLUENT [Insert Language].” They seem a ton more exploitative by comparison.
    9
  5018. More of such videos An Ming. Interesting to see the country side of Japan.

  5019. At the beginning of the Video I was like "Dang what a small new apartment" as the video progressed I eventually thought "Dang that new apartment is an upgrade". Wish you two the best in your future endeavors.

  5021. I loved how you got into a pretty deep conversation with the waitress from Harbin! It's really nice how you can just chat them up with such ease! I was thinking other than chatting with locals that you can introduce some Chinese food to your audience! Considering how many Japanese people are watching it, I think it's a great way to get them to know about some street food and other great finds in Chinatown!

  5031. It’s so neat to learn about where you studied and very admirable you went to Fudan University. You definitely learned a lot by going there and having classmates that think very differently than you do. I liked hearing what you thought about it and learned along the way. It’s wonderful how upgraded the campus is now even after little time passing and even the new train station! Thank you for sharing 💜💜💜

  5034. Back about 55 years ago I was twice, as a Marine, stationed in Japan. One of the things I found very curious is how the civilian Japanese cashiers working in the base PX would ring up your purchases on the register and then total them again on their abacus before making your change. I don't ever remember the register not totaling properly or a Josan that didn't check it against her abacus.

  5056. What you said is absolutely the truth. In some previous real cases, the tour guide will force these tourists in a tour group to buy some souvenirs in the shop of this scenic spot, and if some tourists refuse to buy, then the tour guide will say something very rude to them, even insult them. In some very extreme cases, the tour guide and some tourists were involved into fighting and quarreling. In addition, it is really not a good idea to go to travel in the national holidays in China because there are so many people in these popular tourist attractions, and it will spoil your mood of your entire trip.
    9
  5057. I think you're beautiful and put out amazing content! I wish I could speak different languages like you and had the courage to go to another country where no body looks like me. Keep doing what you love, and you'll find fulfillment. Ignore the hate. Its usually rooted in trauma and/or a form of jealousy.

I hope you do a video about what it's like visiting after being gone for so long and how things have changed/stayed the same, etc. Have fun! My husband and I had a blast last time he took me to his old stomping grounds in Detroit. We ate Bengalese food probably 3 times in just a few days. Saw lots of amazing art.

I also like them dark tanned😝 I never rode one when I was in Japan last summer. I’m too heavy probably😭 Ironically everyone spoke Japanese to me, tho not fluent, I can fake my way through a conversation and I understand most of the basics. She’s hilarious tho: “English and dance. They where 3 years old!”🤣

  5085. I lived in China for a year, and I had a good friend from Italy who'd been in China for a number of years who would wear a shirt that said on the front "老外来了" (the foreigner's here) and on the back it said "老外走了" (the foreigner's gone)

  5086. I like the fact that she's fluent, yet there's no way I'd confuse her with a native Japanese person even if I didn't know what she looked like. She speaks fluently, but you can tell she's a foreigner speaking Japanese. I like that a lot and that's what I want to strive for in my Japanese learning. "Sound just like a native!" Why? No matter how much I sound Japanese, one look at me will show that I'm not. I understand you want to sound as close as possible so you can be understood, but I don't understand the emphasis on it.

  5089. She is kinda cute and i respect her for being able to pursue a passion despite a disability, that's a great soul right here...

  5090. People are so dumb. When you move to LIVE in a place, you become part of the culture of that place, and its culture becomes a part of you. That's how it's SUPPOSED to be. "White people appropriating everything, boo hoo!" How stupid. It's not appropriating. It's APPRECIATING. Big, BIG difference there. Anyone that cries about it is just some woke snowflake loser. Ignore them. It's clear to your subscribers that you have a real passion and appreciation for these cultures, and you want to make them a part of your life in a genuine and authentic way. Best wishes to you and your fiance, and to Jessica.

  5091. That smile! No wonder everyone loves Anming :)

  5092. Honestly this seems like semantics. I think it's about reframing. These folks aren't looking to learn languages at an academic level, rather enough to communicate simple things to help one get around in a country. I can do this in about ten languages (only "fluency" in Japanese and Korean), lord knows my pronunciation is probably awful, but knowledge in basic grammar + 500 or so vocab words can go a long way.

  5093. She's so pretty! ❤❤❤ I love her facial features, her style, her mixed ethnicity😭 Also, I want some Starbucks now lol... I'm mixed too... 1/2 Mexican, 3/8 Filipino, 1/8 Japanese

  5094. This has inspired me to start learning more and really focussing. My wife is chinese and I want to learn more to speak with her parents. Do you recommend any books to help study? Also, love your videos 👍.

  5096. I was so happy to see you guys go to the Catholic Church for Mass on New Year's, the church was so beautiful, and for you staying faithful to the teachings of the Church. God bless you all

  5097. This was so interesting to see! As a Mexican girl, seeing this kinda business culture is a whole new grip for me. So thanks for sharing it!

  5098. I love your channel. It reminds me of non Navajo speakers who come to the reservation and speak such great Navajo. Kudos to you.

  5099. I think your bi-cultural marriage journey will make many fascinating videos! I hope you can find a balance between your and his privacy, being vulnerable, and sharing your ups and downs. Good luck! I wish you guys happiness and success! Remember, no pain, no gain!

  5100. In other words no replacement for hard work and the language and its difficulty needs to be respected.... a reminder for me with my Arabic, thank you :)
    9
  5101. You meet some of the sweetest people ❤ I love how you are so open and share and they return the kindness❤
    9
  5102. You didn’t do the double handed good-bye wave at the end like she did. So she’s definitely more Japanese than you… 😁
    9
  5103. Wow. I am really appreciating these videos. More and more people need to SEE the state of the world that everyone turns a blind eye to.
    9
  5104. Lovely interactions. Being able to communicate in a foreign country is beautiful and rewarding. I’m envious right now of these conversations!

  5105. this brought a big smile to my face, i really loved it!! happy halloween

  5106.  @adammichael811  She's super new to the YouTube world. It's most definitely her.

  5107. I like this girl because she's just spreading good vibes to everyone. I hope the world would be nice as her.

  5110. Lovely Video Anming, 🦊 I'm so fascinated by all the wonderful places you are visiting in Japan , your friends seem really nice too 😀 Always looking forward to your videos 🐶 As for the Toilet Paper hording situation in Michigan after about 3 weeks its finally being stocked in our stores now too 👍
    8
  5111. It's incredibly admirable that you have shared this cruelty/resistance to your presence and aim to make a conversation of it. Thank you for your strength and vigilance!! <3

  5112. Rain is good luck 🎉🎉❤❤

  5113. I seen this on your Instagram page , which was short , and I left a nice comment there. This is awesome to relate and get the reactions of these youths.❤
    8
  5114. Amazing! I spent two years in Vietnam + can only say "Thank You" "Hello" "Beautiful"+ you are having conversations.

  5117. 6 hours a day! At times like this, I wish I didn’t have ADHD. (Or I wish my ADHD loved to hyperfocus on my target lang) Still, I appreciate the logical argument and you not hiding what truly is involved. Now I just need to figure out a way for me to actually do it 😩 (or accept it will take me 36 years at best)
    8
  5118. Looking forward to this you make interesting videos ❤️
    8
  5119. Wow I’ve never been so early for a new vid !

  5120. I've been scared to use hellotalk, but maybe this is a sign that I should go for it 😅

  5122. Japan is so underrated to be honest!
    8
  5123. I just want to say how much I like the edits and camera shots.
    8
  5124. I love your videos, they have inspired me to get back into studying Spanish! I have always been interested in linguistics and took intro classes in Spanish, Arabic, and Japanese but never got beyond the basics. I think you are definitely right about focusing on one language but it can also be very interesting to dip your toe in a bunch of languages if you like linguistics. Greetings from Texas :)

  5128. We have seen this area and were shocked because nobody talks about it. Asagya has a district very similar we walked through it in 2011 while staying in Asagya for a karate seminar. People have this illusion of Japan being all wealth and beauty but the cities reveal a different story and in the country you get to see a certain amount of poverty also.
    8
  5129. Congrats to you both, may you live long and prosper <3
    8
  5130. Such a fantastic video! I need this to blow up in the language community because many people do not see the facade. That name drop was scary I was nervous lol since you never have done that. Your platform that you have is amazing and I hope many people realize you do marketing, so your opinion has a strong knowledge in it.
    8
  5131. I love your videos. Thank you for spreading the awareness this world needs in these times. I pray for all them kind souls. It is unfortunate that most of the kindest ones are the ones in need of help, yet most of them seem so kind and positive. I love seeing these wholesome interactions with strangers, you are brave, i have social anxiety a lot of times so seeing your videos gets me closer to joy of life. Thank you.
    8
  5132. I'm not here cause I want to learn Chinese per se. I just like seeing and hearing you speak it. I guess you could say I have a crush on you :)
    8
  5133. Whoa, this is such a fun idea! I learned quite a lot from watching you talk in Japanese. It doesn't seem as intimidating now, to speak to people in Japanese!
    8
  5134. lol... I get the same reactions every summer when I stay with my grandparent in-law in a tiny village in Niigata prefecture. I've bumped into old rice farmers in the middle of the forest while fishing on streams who almost fell into the water when they realized I was a foreigner. I spend every summer in Japan, and I love being in those spots where I'm the only gaijin for miles. lol
    8
  5135. I love how kind Japanese people are. I went there once and it was so nice and would love to go back again.
    8
  5136. Thank you for showing us this, i wish more people would learn of the crimes and poverty rate in all other countries instead of seeing it as some playground paradise
    8
  5137. Your conversation with the other young girl reminded me of this> "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship..." (CASABLANCA) :)
    8
  5138. You’re like a unicorn amongst the people, or maybe it just looks like it from here :) entertaining and makes me want to learn both languages. Gd luck...
    8
  5139. Anming, my head was spinning from all of the language switching, but I LOVED IT!! PLEASE go back to Yokohama more, because it seems like such a cool place!! Love the video! You need to find someone that speaks, Chinese, Japanese, AND English and then just flip between the three languages...LOL

  5140. Lisa is such a cool, talented, and inspirational musician. It's been quite some time since I was fortunate enough to catch her perform live in her previous band, Moth in Lilac. Once the pandemic calms, I look forward to seeing Bad Baby Bomb in the future.

  5141. I feel like there are different levels to intelligence and i know i can japanese but i struggle to save money so i can buy the stuff i need
    8
  5142. What an amazing video! I loved you showed how wrong those stereotypes are, if you speak the local language and you're a friendly person, it shouldn't be that difficult to interact with people around you.
    8
  5143. Thank you so much for making this channel - I am now learning my 2nd language for the first time and it's so thrilling! Pearl <3
    8
  5144. Do you ever feel unsafe when starting conversations with strangers? Maybe you are just good at reading people and Japan seems pretty safe. Just curious :)
    8
  5145. You really inspire me to go out and learn the languages I want to learn.
    8
  5146. Thanks a lot for your videos🙏 I agree that it's very important to show authentic situations and reactions of people. Also it's great that you share how much work and effort you've put into learning the languages you speak now. It allows people to adequately evaluate things and at the same time be inspired by your videos. I'm Russian (I grew up near China, in the Far East of Russia) and when I first saw your videos (shot 2-3 years ago), just like some of those Chinese, I thought you were Russian too:) Keep going, you're doing a great job!🌺🌺🌺

  5148. I've been watching your video for a year or so. Really cool that you share different perspectives of learning a foreign language. And congratulations 🌸🌸🌸

  5149. I love hearing people tell you where they are from, and hear you both discuss Chinese locales from Chinese perspective! Glad you can use your extended uni break to improve your Japanese even further. Thank you, Enjoy 💚🐦💚johanna

  5150. I had a clothesline growing up in Los Angeles in the 70s. We had a washer but no dryer. Actually, I have fond memories of those days. Helping my mom hang up the clothes, the cats hanging out watching, and nothing beat the smell of clothes hung out to dry. It is hard to explain.... I asked my coworker who came from Korean and she said most apts didn't have room for both a washer/dryer.....and electricity costs a lot too. I guess a lot of the new appliances are washer/dryers combos and still don't dry all the way.

  5151. I’m just entranced with the dancing, never seen someone dance like that

  5152. As a guitar player I applaud her truly extraordinary .

  5153. When you said Lisa, I thought of the pop singer and started freaking out. This Lisa is amazing and wonderful and I'm sorry that there is hatred going around the internet about you because you're a beautiful and amazing woman. I love your Japanese! It's fluent and perfect in every way. I want to speak Japanese so bad!

  5154. 1 million !! congrats from France

  5155. Haven't been on YT in a while as I've been studying in Madagascar so I missed トミーさん (still learning! have a ways to go! please excuse poor characters) first visit to America but he looks like he thoroughly enjoyed himself! It's so interesting how foreigners want to move to America when they come to visit & yet American's want to move to foreign lands once they visit. Will be playing catch-up on your videos. So enjoyable & relatable as always.

  5156. I need to find me a Toby. Lol He's cute!
    8
  5157. I know english at about b1-b2 level but i can't speak that well because i mostly listen english as i don't have any foreign friends and i am pretty sure i would fail if i have to use it fluently.. So i can say i speak some english but i am not that fluent.. xD and those youtubers act like they know the languages yet they only talk about an A-1 A-2 level as i "speak" german... i wouldn't say i can speak german i only know the basics.. xD so i am not a polyglot yet :D
    8
  5158. It’s funny cuz if Jesse was in America we’d all know he has Asian ancestry in him

  5159. Literally waiting to walk into you whilst in Tokyo, just to say "aren't you that YouTuber?"

  5160. I like the way u approach them ❤️ U r so confident, I can’t relate lol
    8
  5161. Great video, thx for sharing with us.
    8
  5162. It's amazing what can happen when people actually speak to one another, instead of talking past each other. Keep up the great work ❤From Detroit as always
    8
  5163. Happy birthday! I lived the 4 seasons in Japan and kinda miss it. Have faith... you'll be back with your man in China soon!
    8
  5164. This was the best video! Thank you for co-creating such rich content. Great code switching and story telling. 😊🌏🙏🏼
    8
  5165. Stick with those who love and appreciate you, everybody else means nothing. Block them, in time they will go away. The only reason they are there is because there is someone out there listening to them, making them think their opinion matters. And as always, "misery loves company." Keep doing what you are doing. I think it is amazing, not only since I am a Japanese language learner, teacher but also an admirer of the culture and architecture, and history. You are helping many people who can't visit there and dream of doing so by showing us sites, letting us experience the culture and great food places/foods of course.
    8
  5166. It's like my experience growing up in the UK as 2nd generation Chinese except his is ramped up by a factor of 10. As I have a scottish accent, when I visit other parts of the UK people's mouths drop. Every encounter you need to explain and then they imitate your accent. When it is Americans they will speak like the leprecaun from Lucky Charms. I cannot even imagine what it is like for him since white people speaking fluent non-european languages is much rarer.
    8
  5167. 自分の国なのに、こんな風になっていたのかと知り、驚きました😔✨ 配信に感謝です😊✨
    8
  5168. You seem like a really nice person and that's one reason I watch your videos. Also I'm amazed you can speak Chinese. I'm from the USA and I only speak English, with a little French from high school, and like 30 words in Spanish. This might sound corny, but I think that by you speaking other languages actually helps increase world peace, because when barriers are broken down, people start to trust each other more and also feel more equal. So I thank you for making these videos and helping out humanity. I hope others will take your lead and study other languages too. Ten days ago I was your 834th subscriber, now you're up to 7,320 subscribers. So before you blow up on YouTube, I want to thank you for the entertainment! Best of luck to you Oriental Pearl! Sincerely, Galaxy2

  5171. Going to a university abroad to learn a language seems intimidating. I would rather go to a small language school.
    8
  5172. Myth 7 is SO TRUE. I once went to Japan and needed to buy some medicine for sore throat. I went up to the clerk behind the counter at the clinic and gestured to my throat, kept on repeating the word “throat” in both English and Chinese but I just got a head shake and ended up asking a Chinese worker in a pharmacy nearby instead 😅 but I’m happy that they’re patient with someone who doesn’t speak their language
    8
  5173. Amazing video. Such a great interactions and the little is so cute with the hug.
    8
  5174. China is a great place to visit on vacation or over the holidays.

  5175. Your dress looks beautiful and the evening dress is also stunning! You both look very happy congrautlations!! <3

  5176. "i don't like crowded places" says the Oriental Pearl living in the most crowded country on the planet lol :)
    8
  5177. That is why I want to get my Japanese up to working level, so that I can converse easily in Nihongo as I'm able to in English. That was one of best things about finding your channel about a year ago. It inspired me to work harder and longer everyday on my studies, even the days when my brain, eyes, and mouth, decide they no longer wish to collaborate on the language learning goal. You've also helped me to accept that I'm not going to be, and don't have to be perfect in my Japanese usage. I'm not in my first language so unrealistic expectations no longer factor in my thinking. Greg's unexpected passing is a blow because he was such a positive, enthusiastic presence on your live streams. He presence will be missed and I had very limited interactions with him. Because I am only on the easy side of this relationship, as a consumer/viewer of your content, I selfishly hope that the livestream you were planning will still occur. Thanks for the weekly tours. I look forward to Japan reopening boarders so I can resume planning a four month approximately, language learning trip. Immersion improves my abilities, and I really enjoy being in Japan.
    8
  5178. Crazy how you are often mistaken for Russian....but....I also laughed wondering what Russian's would say if you asked them where they think you might be from! Certainly not from Japan! LOLOL Pretty sure the majority would assume America and it wouldn't surprise me at all if many also said Sweden! Getting closer to ONE MILLION SUBS! Cheers and Blessings From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO

  5179. I love that your mom is there celebrating with you! Looks like fun!!!
    8
  5180. This is what I was wondering too! I'm learning Japanese and recently now learning Chinese! Love the video! こんにちは! 你好！
    8
  5181. So freaking wholesome 💛 You look so happy! Watching your mom interact with your in-laws was amazing and I was smiling the whole time! Her Japanese is getting so good already! She seems pretty motivated 😊 Now that the borders are open again, she must be pretty stoked to go back soon, even though she was just there. I can't wait to see the next video of you guys in the US! おめでとう！
    8
  5182. This is my first time on her channel and she's sooooo talkative (like me). I would love to have a never-ending conversation with this woman 🥰
    8
  5183. It's so great seeing people's reaction's to you speaking their language.

  5184. Congratulations on being engaged!

  5185. Love you both in Jesus' name ❤❤❤

  5186. 菊池さんの動画から来ました！！あなたもこんなに上手だったんですねw すごい👏
    8
  5187. Your channel is gold - you definitely deserve MILLIONS of subscribers, I don't get it, speaking multiple languages, and very difficult ones, this is amazing, I hope you get your millionth sub soon or even better several millions !
    8
  5188. I've just subscribed to your channel a few days ago. It's interesting that you can speak both Japanese and Mandarin. Your videos are very nice and interesting. I was surprised to find that you even visited my country, Myanmar (Burma). You stayed at Chinatown in Yangon (Rangoon). I lived in Japan during the 60s through 70s when I was young and also studied in Hong Kong in the 80s. Keep up with your good work.
    8
  5189. You are actually one of my inspirations to learn chinese. I'm struggle with tones as an english and spanish speaker though. I love that you share your experience abroad. Do you/ anyone know any good Chinese music playlists? Thanks
    8
  5190. Yep, I’m one of those special people that watched till the end. Love your channel
    8
  5191. I can't believe its been a year already since the last time you did this. It feels like just yesterday........
    8
  5192.  @OrientalPearl  People just program them to dislike videos with certain tags, and then you can get in the cross fire. The ones that comment are ones usually trying to either spam their channels or get into your account, like when your Facebook friend suddenly starts sending you ads. That's because they interacted with a sketchy account.

  5193. I love the hairdresser trying out English words. That shelf of Redbull 10:24 was half empty Anming!!!! No explanation needed, I know who did it, I know who did buy them.😄

  5195. Congratulations on your official marriage and happy birthday! おめでとう！I'm going to Japan in less than 3 months and I'll be an exchange student and I'm soo excited, watching your videos Anming gets me even more excited about Japan. ワクワクしています！
    8
  5196. Thank you for putting in the time and effort. Have a nice rest now. 🙏

  5197. This is super hilarious. I learned a new word, sea cucumber. Actually, Dalian is famous for it as all the sea cucumbers my family eat are from Dalian. It is very delicious and a bit expensive and good for health!
    8
  5198. Im really loving your content. I wish to see much more and more from you.

  5199. I find the girl calling her uncle having a cute voice and so funny.😂

  5200. Congratulations Anming 🎊💐 おめでとうございます💐

  5201. I once came over from Xiaomanyc's Channel because Pearl was recommended to me. I don't watch him anymore, her Videos are far more natural and interesting as his. He seems like a cool guy though

  5202. The love for dogs is universal 🐕 Super cute video ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ！

  5205. You don't owe anyone any damn explanation, your videos are awesome and keep up the good work
    8
  5206. awe makes me sad seeing the deserted street! I cant imagine how beautiful it must have been when it was busy! what a shame!
    8
  5207. This is actually my first time seeing an interaction between a foreigner and kids. It's pretty cool tbh.
    8
  5208. What a lovely couple. The Japanese have a pleasant way about themselves.
    8
  5209. Another awesome video! Being the new employee is always hard at the beginning. Looks like you’re definitely an asset to them. Love your content always. And Congratulations on 500k!!! Soon you’ll be at one million!
    8
  5210. I love these kinds of videos! So interesting to see Japanese office culture from your perspective. Would love to see more videos like this! ❤️❤️
    8
  5211. As some one who hopes to visit Japan for the first time ," hopefully November 2022" I love watching your videos and your enthusiasm for Japan and the languages you speak is infectious. Best wishes for your future and congratulations, may you both be very happy
    8
  5212. Loved this! I recently started learning Japanese and I feel so good about it! I left university like 6 years ago and feel my brain degrading 😂😭✌️ thank you for the great videos! You’re so inspiring
    8
  5213. I know I’m late to the party. I have been self teaching myself Japanese for about two weeks. Still struggling with the writing systems to a degree and barely know any of the language it self out side of greetings. As I was seeing all the YouTube’s as you described “mastering languages in 30 days” I really started to get discouraged. I’m passionate about the culture, it’s customs, it’s food it’s people; but it started to feel like learning another language was not something I was going to be able to do. I stumbled upon this video and it really gave me some perspective. And YouTube is flashy. Most people want instant results, and what’s a better way to target new learners than “in 30 days will seemingly little effort (30 minutes a day) have what you want”. Plus they all seem to be self taught which also made me feel inadequate. I think this video was really important and I am very grateful that you made it despite the possible repercussions!
    8
  5214. 8:46 I have a feeling high-school boys would be way more willing to talk to you than to most other people! 😏
    8
  5215. Pearl i love your Halloween costume it’s awesome

  5216. Her: They are Not Shy My Brain: ITTTTZZZZZZZZZYYYYY!!! Sorry 😅

  5220. People are unhappy with themselves and take it out on you. You are very intelligent and beautiful... some people can't handle that. Keep doing you, you are a gift.
    8
  5221. 6:00 in Im loving the high speed duck :)

  5222. Another great video, thank you!

  5223. Wow! What an experience! It looked like so much fun!
    8
  5224. 730k! My goodness your channel has grown. It seems like not long ago we were celebrating 2k lol. I'm glad you stuck with it and wish you and Tommy all the best!
    8
  5225. Her frame (her body shape, how thin she is, her posture, etc) is very "asian culture" imo. The only thing that might stand out is her height, but it's not too drastic. Her mannerisms as well, as said in the video. She fits right in and its very cute.
    8
  5226. What a true gentleman,honour and respect to him, great video again.

  5227. They really liked your company so much they didn't want you to go home. 😂

  5228. I love those kids ❤️❤️❤️💓 Japanese people are so warm, kind, and all around amazing! Agree 100%~ you’ll find friends for life if you make the effort 😅
    8
  5229. Learning one extra language means you are very smart. Being able to talk in two means you’re a genius!
    8
  5230. These are 'strange' times. Stay alert. Stay safe. I agree, people can still be friends no matter which country they're from.
    8
  5231. Wow, that was some test and experience but you showed great composure and passed with flying colours! :D
    8
  5232. Hey! So happy to see your channel is growing so much!
    8
  5233. It is so refreshing that some people acknowledged he was 'Japanese' fabulous small steps of progress.
    8
  5234. I love seeing your videos! They always remind me to go and practice my Japanese so I can have fun experiences like this!
    8
  5235. A lot of them are probably just being nice or motivational. And some probably genuinely mean it. All depends on your own Nihongo-levels, of course. :) But I think you could tell the difference after a while, after having talked to many Japanese people. It's just something I'll have to make out for myself, once I get there. If you do a jikoshoukai VS having an actual conversation, I think stuff like that makes a lot of difference.
    8
  5236. CONGRATULATIONS!! You both looked fabulous! What a beautiful bride, you are. Looking forward to more excellent video. Best wishes for a wonderful life together! 🥂
    8
  5237. We have been waiting for your video anming chann💕💕💕 Alnd and and congratulations❤️❤️
    8
  5238. My native language is Spanish, my biggest dream is talk English and Chinese fluently 😭✨
    8
  5239. This video made me feel so much better! Thank you. I've seen thumbnails from the Youtubers that you're talking about and I always felt kind of bad that I'm not yet fluent after learning German for 2 years now. But after you said you've been learning Japanese/Chinese for 5+ years and when Matt said it takes years to get good at a language, I felt much better. I've always preferred intensive styles of learning so 5 hours a day, 5 days a week which is what I did at the University in Oldenburg, Germany, and that seemed to be the quickest way for me, but I still struggle with grammar.. So ya, an hour a day on an app I can't imagine being as helpful besides vocabulary building and reviewing knowledge though :)

  5240. The Demon Slayer movie is number one worldwide right now....

  5241. Housing costs are getting out of control. Average rent is $2000 in the Worcester, MA. area. Plus to buy a small house that was $120,000 15 years ago, would now cost over $400,000!!!! Though I am lucky to live in a nearby small town, in a house I inherited. I would struggle to afford rent or a mortgage on my monthly income. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers! Glad I could be a part of your wonderful accomplishment. Love the new apartment. Hope you are comfortable and happy in your new living quarters. Off to help out Drew. 😁
    8
  5242. I very much enjoy your videos, Anming. I find them to be much more honest and compelling to watch than those of the "polyglots" who learn the same 5 "getting to know you" phrases in dozens of languages. I set myself the goal of fluency in German, since it is my heritage (northern Wisconsin), and after 20+ years, I am still learning the nuances of the language. (Will I EVER be able to be "casually funny" in German, without causing an awkward silence in the room???!!!) To me, this is much more satisfying than being able to say, "Hi. Where are you from?" in 20 different languages. I know, to each their own. Keep up the good work!
    8
  5243. I speak Cantonese and when white people approach me and start to speak Chinese (mandarin or Cantonese) I found it rude not to over react. Because I think my “surprised reaction” was expected. Hmm... or was it?
    8
  5244. 😂 Thanks for the fun challenge! Maybe I'll study Chinese someday 🤔
    8
  5245. Tommy's English is much better than before. He seems to understand all of your comments 😮
    8
  5246. From 2011-2019 I lived three years in Shanghai, a year and a half in the US, and three and a half years in Japan. Except for the bicycle fraud thing that wasn't around at the time, I feel every piece of your video haha. I thought nobody had a similar experience as I had in the last ten years but here you are lol. And what's crazier is that I lived in Harbin the whole summer in 2014 with my uncle at Harbin Institute of Technology and I love that city too!
    8
  5247. Your channel is the end all, be all of language videos for me. You’re genuine and passionate about what you do and it comes across in your work ✨ With that said, I appreciate this video so much. I’ve seen other channels and I always wondered how accurate/honest they are with their subtitles, and also, who learns a language that fast? It’s impossible to be fluent in the time span they claim haha 😆
    8
  5248. These are my favorite kind of videos,not you getting propositioned 😂 but rather you on a walkabout looking at interesting things and talking to interesting people. Well done as usual👍
    8
  5249. I've recently picked up Japanese again, and sometimes it feels challenging juggling that with two other languages (one advanced, one intermediate), but when I see how you've learned what... four languages now? It reminds me that I can also do it! Great video!!! Always watch your videos all the way to the end :)
    8
  5250. I 100% agree with your 'rivalry' comment, and i've been saying this for yeeaaarrrsss. Everyone just wants to live their life, i have chinese friends here in the u.s and i'll know for a fact if i was fluent in chinese to have full conversations (like you) & i take a trip to china, it'll be super easy to make friends. Its the ppl who sit down at their desk trying to fight the other countries and use their militaries for their dirty work are the reasons why there's 'rivalry'. Most of us just want to live in peace 🤷‍♀️

  5251. You should do some “try” episodes to stretch your palate. As a chef, the general rule was 29. If you hadn’t tried a particular food type or dish by that age, chances are you won’t ever. Also, that’s algae, not seaweed. All of it looked delish! Or not. 🤓
    8
  5252. Your videos are always fun. I've been subscribed to you for a long time. Like maybe a couple of years. I always look forward to your videos.
    8
  5253. Your videos always motivate me more in my self learning journey! We appreciate your hard work.
    8
  5254. The lady doing impressions of traditional dancing made my day.
    8
  5255. OMG...Japanese language very unic.I hope I can go to Japan once in my life because I want to try speak Japanese 😅
    8
  5256. Dayumn, 日本語上手 yo
    8
  5257. 1:30 I'm still in awe that Richard has a lifesize moving R2-D2 🤯🤯👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I don't suppose he knows the local Rebel Legion or 501st Legion.
    8
  5258. Wow looks nice to see a rural place where some Japanese junior high school kids can speak abit English not shyly.... Teaching English is quite fun especially the students try their best to participate and be active 😸
    8
  5259. So that’s why my food came 10 minutes late😭
    8
  5260. me at 11:15 Noooo! It can't be over yet! Lovely as always!
    8
  5261. So happy and excited for you! Congratulations, Anming and Tommy! 🥳
    8
  5262. Your videos are so inspiring! It’s great to be able to have that kind of insight into other cultures ☺️💞 keep up the hard work!! ✨ lots of love from Canada
    8
  5263. You had conversations with some interesting people.
    8
  5264. Actually I would like to see more you speak Chinese and Japanese language video..
    8
  5265. Love your motorcycle-passenger big eyes at 1:06. Even with a face mask it says, "not in my comfort zone but doing it anyway". P.S. Your hair looks great after the salon treatment.
    8
  5266. The ccp is keeping a eye on you keep yourself safe 🙂
    8
  5267. Oh my gosh. This group's excitement and their high on life makes me smile. They taking pics and smiling every second lol!
    8
  5268. After watching the banal reactions, I miss our Chinese friends soooooo much. It seems Chinese people are either super excited to learn that foreigners love them/ they are not used to being shown love by the western world unlike Japan, which has a stellar reputation in the west.
    8
  5269. I love how E. Asian culture deals with this similarly to the Midwestern US. Giving compliments is a social gesture moreso than an evaluation (:
    8
  5270. I'm always amazed at how authentic your videos look. You are truly a great representative of America.
    8
  5271. What the hell😲. I never expected Sri Lankan in your video. I am also from Sri Lanka 😂😂. Love ya thanks for your videos 😍😍
    8
  5272. That game that the old man in the street is showing to people reminds me a lot like Crossfire, a game that I still remember from the late 80s.
    8
  5273. I really love the diversity in Japan’s dress culture ~ makes me happy to see all the colourful clothing and things people be ~ whether it’s the darker colours or the bright happy ones . They be themselves and it’s nice 💗
    8
  5274. Your videos motivate me to keep going so that I can walk around and do this one day😂😂😂❤❤It looks like so much fun!
    8
  5275. Your hair looks literally so good also i don’t understand why that hair stylist was so attractive 😍
    8
  5276. wow, in a Japnese skate rink, that is one experience I unfortunately missed, besides a round One trip or two, one more reason to go back.Most of your videos are on Japan, do you think you will ever do some more China videos? I'm fluent in Japanese and have been studying Chinese for over a few years now but living and working back in America. Love your videos!
    8
  5277. Love the "Living the Red Bull Lifestyle" ad
    8
  5278. Great video! This was the video that my heart needed as my Dad passed away 2 days ago. Vernors, Coney Dogs, Frankenmuth, Yates Cider Mill, Faygo, Bronner's, Sanders, Better Made, Red Wings game, Cherry Jam (Traverse City Cherries?) Ren Cen, The Christmas Tree at Campus Martius. So many great things about this area all in one video. All those things my Dad loved and would talk about to his friends in Florida. Thank you for sharing and giving my day a boost. ~Be Blessed
    8
  5279. I think you "know" a language when you can think in this language or even dream in it.. it is possible just at an advanced leven when you study many years and have daily contact with the language.. you have to feel free using it.. and confident using it, not in panic.. I always shake my head when ppl claim to speak so many languages and tell they can prove it.. and they say like.. hi my name is blah blah and i like dogs.. and they count from 1 to 10... thats not speaking a language.. I strugle years by now with korean XD sometime si study more.. sometimes less.. some things just wont move further, some things get lost in my head, some i learn new and remember coz somehow they stuck in my causiosuness... aaaaah... how i wanna be advanced haha... just as a hobby... i wanna add an asian language to my brain... but it takes yearsssss over years and im still a zero haha... and it is just 1 language o.O not learning 2 langauges every year
    8
  5280. Yay! I saw your YT shorts from this and am glad I can now watch it in its entirety! 🥳
    8
  5281. You inspired me to take Chinese classes 😊 so far I love it
    8
  5282. And yeah curious about the old lady, I don’t know, maybe you’re followed by Chinese spies 💀
    8
  5283. Love these kinda videos. You are going to earn a lot of subscribers very quickly, mark my words!
    8
  5284. Because of all gour videos, it’s motivating me to to persist in my studying and really pursue going to Japan.
    8
  5285. Your mastery of languages is impressive Pearl, I wish you and your husband happiness and prosperity for the new year!
    8
  5286. There are so many mannerisms you are accustomed to that we don't do in the US. Is it completely natural for you, or do you stay conscious of everything? like covering your mouth when you laugh would be really different and strange for me to remember. How long have you lived there?
    8
  5287. Want to get everyone out of your hostel room fast, start recording a youtube video. It was funny how he was desperate to get out. Love your videos
    8
  5288. Happy Halloween - looked like you had a good time even if a bit crowded. I've stayed up to 5 AM and had to be at work at 8 AM. Then I worked a 24 hour shift as a firefighter. It was one of our busy days. I learned my lesson and didn't do that again. Take care - nice to see you out and about. Be safe.
    8
  5289. Most importantly though, how was the 5 color xiaolongbao?
    8
  5290. nostalgic editing @the end......good work! it's totally fine to feel home sick sometimes 😘💕
    8
  5291. I visited Japan for the first time in October. I agree that you have to talk to people. I was totally lost in shibuya and a wonderful couple overheard my worry in English. They took the time to walk me to my destination. I learn a lot about their hopes to travel to the states and how they worked for American companies. Also my Japanese is very limited to basic words and I loved that they where very patient while I used google translator or attempted to communicate in English themselves. I had a great experience. Take the time to talk to people. I can’t wait to go back.
    8
  5292. 07:47 that food on the sticks looks delicious, what is it?
    8
  5293. I'd love to learn Japanese and visit Japan!! Such a great culture.. The people are so nice, everything is so organized and clean..
    8
  5294. Sometimes I talk in chinese, Japanese, Italian and English mixed together with my roommate hahaha
    8
  5295. Love it, love it, love it!!! All their reactions are so great! You switching between all those languages is just awesome. Even if you walk around in Japanese cities, I still watch and am just as amazed. Keep up the great stuff.
    8
  5296. Hey Anming! I discovered your channel almost a week ago, and I've been watching all your videos since then. I want to let you know that I love your content, your personality, and your adventurous spirit. You're living life to its fullest, and that's always very inspiring to see. Please don't stop making these videos anytime soon, I'm having a blast learning about Japan and China through this window you're opening for us. You're amazing!
    8
  5297. I am a Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Chinese 🇨🇳, and I can also speak Mandarin as well as Cantonese. I had lived and studied in an English speaking international school in Tokyo for 11 years, so I also speak some Japanese as well. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    8
  5298. Home is, where your heart is ... one's social identity is a bond with people and not a flag. Seeing how easily John made those human connections showed that.
    8
  5299. I signed up for the Pimsleur languge app yesterday. I'm liking it. Obviously as an European American, Mandarin is very foreign to me, no pun intended, but I have found I'm picking up the nuances in the Chinese dramas which I absolutely love. Thanks for the tip Pearl.
    8
  5300. You're a truly a gem! I love the attitude you treat the kids with and it's so wholesome, also your dedication of blending youself with the culture and learning the language really touched me, amazing! Subscribed!
    8
  5301. Fascinating.
    8
  5302. Nice to see you two doing a collab! more! Onegaishimasu
    8
  5303. Your comments are so good! How long have you been on Youtube?
    8
  5304. Japan is an amazing country. Be proud of it and work hard to keep it so.
    8
  5305. Aaahh! You are so inspirational! Thank you for existing😊❤🎉
    8
  5306. I'm learning 4 languages and I don't consider myself a "polyglot". I genuinely love to learn them, and I know I'm not nearest to the perfection than I was when I started. More simply I respect theses languages and what they represent. I wouldn't dare use them as this level and claim I'm a " polyglot". What a joke
    8
  5307. I’m studying Korean 😌 I pretty good at it
    8
  5308. Wow! can't believe you've been to PH before! Hope you've had fun in our country and for me as a Filipino, I'd rather go to Japan cause obviously I've never been there before haha
    8
  5309. This whole tatemae thing will be difficult for me to couple with when I move to Japan in the future. Here in Brazil we are always honest with what we think or feel, sometimes even more than we should. If a Japan were to compliment me with a "Your Japanese is good" after a mere greeting or a simple conversation I would feel kinda bad tbh lol
    8
  5310. What a cool perspective. I just love the respect in and of the culture and all the little, but significant, nuiances.
    8
  5311. Found you a while back and thoroughly enjoyed the language learning stuff. Videos started popping up again about a year or so later and caught up on the stuff I missed. Now I'm enjoying the Vlog stuff as well!
    8
  5312. 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.
    8
  5313. Always fun to see the surpried faces of people when you speak their languages.
    8
  5314. I can't believe how amazing you are at speaking Japanese, I really want to learn it and speak fluently but I'm afraid it'll be too hard for me lol. Keep making more vids❤️
    8
  5315. I hope everyone in Tokyo enjoyed Halloween!
    8
  5316. YesSiRr!! It looks like You guys definately been doing it for 15 years! Lol!! Your Language speaking skills!! Hehe! Those kids were SO HAPPY to play with you & your friend.. and there's a lot of positive vibes going on there. Thankz for sharing Anming... Thank you very much for sharing and spreading positive vibes there in Japan. Really Appreciate the Videos and entertainment. Take Care and as alwayz Stay Safe out there...
    8
  5317. Hahahaha i got a lot of stares once. I fell backwards into a wall because i didn't see a car coming on an island feeding deer. Everyone noticed me if they hadn't seen the lost person already and after shock they offered me bandaids asking if i was hurt. It was really sweet....i told them it was just my pride in broken Japanese 😆 and they laughed 😅 hoping they remember that
    8
  5318. I Really love this channel it makes me wanna learn new languages like japanese or mandarin continue the good work !
    8
  5319. My Japanese friend was crazy with the bill she was always running to the cashier to pay for us
    8
  5320. Thank you for speaking out.
    8
  5321. I really like that you're breaking down stereotypes and showing more in depth reactions, because I feel a lot of channels feed stereotypes instead, which doesn't foster good relations.
    8
  5322. Looking forward to the next video from Taiwan!
    8
  5323. This has to be my favorite video of yours so far! Really creative and unique!
    8
  5324. Michigan set the standard for English? Not England? LOL. It's alright. Most Americans think this way. I threw most Americans for a loop when I told them people can tell them they are Americans by their accent.
    8
  5325. The way you both share your cultures is so positive and beautiful
    8
  5326. Another great one!! Loved the snow scenes 😜
    8
  5327. Make da friendz
    8
  5328. Finally someone said it, yes! :) I completely agree with you: language learning isn't about facing a screen and exercises alone, but it's more about talking to real people even though it might sometimes prove embarrassing.
    8
  5329. Most of my family is at least bilingual, and some of my cousins and uncles/aunts speak up to 5 languages fluently, and they had actually brought this topic up in passing and made fun of these guys... they probably didn't know they were making bank.
    8
  5330. From what I've seen so far Anming,you seem to turn everything into a positive. Your dedication and hard work(studies) shines through.😘
    8
  5331. I love that part. 'I'm not Russian, I'm AMERICAN' ! You go girl lol
    8
  5332. In China I get stared at all the time. So many people take photos of me, last week a woman in the metro tried to be subtle (usually they aren’t) but I could see the reflection of her phone screen in the window 😂 I also have people point and sometimes come to touch my hair because it’s blond. And this is in central Shanghai where there are loads of foreigners! I’m interested to see what it would be like when I travel to other cities or the countryside with less tourists 😂
    8
  5333. Love you Anming, thank you for encouraging others to interact with other languages and learn about places beyond our own borders.
    8
  5334. Such a fun video..looks fun
    8
  5335. I recently was in a lesson with my Japanese teacher and I knew she was getting flustered because I kept forgetting 'wa' after a persons name in practice. Thank you for reminding us language learners and mistakes are how you learn! Thank you for another video An Ming 🌸
    8
  5336. This video reminds me of myself quite a lot. A Chinese student who studies in Sweden but speaks English with a group of international students. The funny part is, usually, here I ask people for guessing my age, instead of my nationality and they always got wrong. XD. Although no doubt what you are doing is surely the next level. Really really impressive seeing you speaking both Chinese and Japanese so well! Really like what you are doing, please keep it up!
    8
  5337. She's seriously cool🔥😍
    8
  5338. Well, you made that young man's wish come true by not cutting out his footage, so kudos 😁
    8
  5339. Lets get married. Please come to me in Stockholm
    8
  5340. 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. 💗💗 .
    8
  5341. I guess there's creeps all around no matter where, huh.
    8
  5342. The difference between urban and rural is so true. In Tokyo people were polite but of course you are just another stranger and they understandibly don't care that much, but on the countryside people would sometimes stop and greet me from across the street and be very happy that I at least attempted speaking some Japanese despite being poor at it. Two very different experiences!
    8
  5343. I have friends who have lived for years in Asia for years who can pick up on the visual cues and usually tell which country they are from. I cannot make the subtle distinctions. This video just shows and confirms what you always stress. Hard work on language skills will open up world of possible interactions.

    8
  5345. God bless you young lady. You are very genuine and kind hearted.
    8
  5346. Yes that's the right way of doing things ... appreciate your openness here ... hope others follow this.... That guy following you could be CIA agent ... they even try to hack your laptop, be safe dont show your house where you live ... it's easy to track you and hack wifi network If they know your home Just kidding ..we are just average humans no one should fight over US china japan all people are just same and can be friends and not fight over imaginary conflicts created by boundaries and politics to their own benefits and way to manipulate people by dividing them But.. as a precaution use VPN and dont show where you live ... make USA house and japan hostel videos private .... stay safe ... Xie xie

  5347. Pearl is catching languages like some kind of pokemons. And than slay and attack, attack and slay. Catching next.
    8
  5348. I love watching these videos.
    8
  5349. This video is amazing Anming 🙏. Yes, life is fragile... May everyone find happiness and good times in thier life 🙏
    8
  5350. I’m taking Chinese classes in college because of your videos I’m minoring in Chinese :) I wanna go so bad lol
    8
  5351. it is incredible how even your personality change when you speak japanese or english. In japanese you seem very humble, but in english you seem like an ironic and even a little rude person. Maybe it`s just my appreciation. Saludos!
    8
  5352. Dude filming that night was sooooooooo 🤩 Merry Christmas you lovely people you!!!!🎅🏿 🎄 People don’t realize that Japan is basically Valentines Day part 2 here. All about commercialism and people don’t even spend time with their families during Christmas. Which was was why we had to show them what’s what!!! Ain’t that right ANMING?! Ain’t that right?!!
    8
  5353. I literally laughed when you were saying "welcome to my dark depressing room" 🤪🤪😁 and i like your cat mask 🐱🐱
    8
  5354. I actually been to Okinawa. Its a nice place . Like a hawaii vibe . Including food . But its not as accessible compare to Philippines. Its hard to go around okinawa if you dont own a car. And hanchos (taxis) there are expensive. And communicating with locals would be tough too . And was surprised that Okinawa can get really traffic too.
    8
  5355. 8:30 that dog is extraordinary
    8
  5356. I believe learning someones language is a huge sign of respect. Reading bad intent into someones reason for posting sounds like petty jealousy. It brings discord to something that is unifying and Good. The world has enough turmoil. If you don't like it, don't watch. If you feel you can do better, get out there and do it.
    8
  5357. I love the way u approach them! I could never 😂😂😂
    8
  5358. I'm taking japanese in college right now, and it's actually so cool to see stuff like this
    8
  5359. Congratulations to you and Tommy !
    8
  5360. Absolutely beautiful. May the two of you have an amazing and adventurous marriage
    8
  5361. YES. Would love to see more on this!!! Especially from a foreigner's perspective.
    8
  5362. I just love how clean everything is !!
    8
  5363. You are a true inspiration! I would love to learn other languages and perhaps teach in other countries! I just loved the way they lit up when they realized how well you spoke their native tongue!
    8
  5364. That part where the little girl was crying and the dad carried her and when she saw you girls, she stopped crying lol it was sooo cute, gave me a tear. :')
    8
  5365. Incredible message. Thank You for sharing this
    8
  5366. Been to Tokyo. Very CLEAN city. They say Singapore is clean, but I've been there. Japan is the CLEANEST of all the 25+ countries that I've been to.
    8
  5367. You’re always interesting, Anming. You truly are an oriental pearl.
    8
  5368. "In the US people don't judge me for how I look" wish he was here to say that to sooooo many people here in America
    8
  5369. I’m so jealous. 6 months of duo lingo Spanish and I can say “I have a big cat”. I want to learn so many languages but Japanese is definitely high on the list because I hope to visit…if the world ever goes back to normal.

  5370. When i saw you speaking Cantonese, I was like "Oh this must be one of those practice in person" days. And I was right! I admittingly haven't started Pimsleur but I truly think watching your videos over the last 4 years has given me strangely the courage to start therapy and figure out how to be more outgoing and do social activities outside of my comfort zone. AND to speak more in Spanish when I have a customer (I took so many years, I still cant reply back well, but I understand it LOL).

  5371. Looks like a great time. Such a vibrant atmosphere .I noticed the real police were all business though.

  5372. I'm a recent subscriber and I love your channel! Congratulations on your new apartment and reaching 1 million subscribers. Also, it was wonderful of you to invite Drew over to tell your followers about his situation. I love his channel as well!

  5373. High quality content! I loved the insight thank you Anming. It’s great to see how work is. It almost seems not so foreign from your eyes. Anyone reading this comment subscribe! Please we need this series haha. This woman has prime content you won’t get on other channels. 😄

  5375. There is a BR a couple of miles from my house, but I haven't been there in a long time. It's amazing how they've survived with all of the premium ice cream places and frozen yogurt shops that have sprung up over the years. I first went to a BR in 1957.

  5379. It's also possible that the head turning may have to do with the foreign accent arousing curiosity (as opposed to specifically a foreigner speaking the language). A bit of an anecdote: I'm ethnically Chinese, though having grown up in the US I do have a slight accent... When I went to China, as soon as I opened my mouth to speak I'd see a few people turn their heads. It was admittedly a little embarrassing, but I was pleasantly surprised that people generally just went back to going about their business

  5380. "I felt a bit anxious driving my car in America, I had a few car crashes so I decided to leave and go to China on my own", said no woman feeling anxious ever, HA !. You are a bit of a trailblazer young lady. You already have more exciting storys to tell when older in just a few years of living than most have in a lifetime, and all because of travel . Wondeful watching you and the children interacting so warmly, you might not like teaching much as a profession, but those children would never know. Your like a beautiful kind chamelion, you blend in perfectly with your surroundings and become one with anyone around you . Girl power never came from a pop group it has always existed, and you are proof of this. You are very inspirational to girls/women, although i can imagine many parents not unlike yours thinking I'm not sure about that, my child living in a foreign country, well they're different to us aren't they?. Although you once again prove that basically we are actually quite similar, much more than we think anyway.

  5381. Amazing channels like yours hopefully will fill that void of language learning togetherness that a lot of us have with Laoshu's passing. Keep up the joyful work!

  5382. Congrats！I've been following you since you just uploaded videos on YT, it's been a fantastic ride with you since the beginning, wish you the best!

  5383. Amazing video. Glad he had a great time in US.

  5385. You have the cutest laugh ever! 🙃🙌🏽

  5386. Man, I especially love your videos recently!!! They are a unique mix of sociology, anthropology, modern culture, spirituality, and comedy/entertainment. You really are finding your identity and groove here on YouTube by exploring these new topics. Wonderfully done! I will in tokyo on Friday for 2 weeks and would love to connect if you are around

  5387. Omg the kids telling you not to eat the salt - so cute 🥰 I wonder what the salt is for....there most be a reason known to some locals....

  5389. I didnt realize how much I missed the Detroit area since joining the military. this video really brought me back, seeing his reactions made me realize I've failed to appreciate my hometown when I was a kid. Back then I could only think of leaving, now I feel a longing to return with little or any opportunity to go back. Detroit and Michigan in general has a lot to offer that I took for granted. Thank you both for this video showing the awsome things I remember from my childhood.

  5390. The only true polyglot I’ve ever known spoke 6 languages: English, Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish, Hebrew. He also spoke some Slovak. He grew up in Eastern Europe before WWII and said it wasn’t uncommon at the time to speak multiple languages. (He learned English last, after the war).
    8
  5391. 哇哇 我以为你只会说日语, 但是你都会说中文！很厉害！ Yea, it is extremely easy to pretend you are fluent, specially in front of monolinguals who don't know about language learning. And also it's true that it is super easy to get Chinese people to react positively I have an old video about that phenomenon. but one thing I gotta say, not being perfect is no reason to say to someone they are not "real" polyglots. For example, I speak 8+ languages, and I make mistakes even in the languages I know the best (C1-C2). Also, deciding not to study handwriting is nothing to be ashamed of, people have different ways to go about learning a language and not everyone needs to write essays or be able to handwrite in Chinese or any other language. Looking down on people for focusing more on conversational skills rather than on writing... that's just an elitist attitude in my opinion. But sure, when you see YT polyglots saying they speak a lot of languages but they know them all at a poor A1/A2 level... it is obvious they are trying to appear something they are not. So yea, some YouTubers lie in people faces and that's terrible. But we don't have to be perfect in all our languages to be considered "real" polyglots. Some polyglots are better than others, sure; but perfection doesn't exist! I think that as long as we are honest about what we know and what we don't know, we can be ethical YouTube polyglots.
    8
  5392. Wow... this is powerful. Thank you for sharing your experience. And raising awareness.
    8
  5393. It so funny to me seeing people's reaction when I explain to them that I'm Filipino living in the South (Alabama). They think either I'm a l'm a mixed Mexican or a just a very tanned Caucasian. My funniest memory was when I was stationed in Okinawa and the people I encountered that were from the Philippine Consulate were talking in Tugalog about my white friends in the Marine Corps and I translated to my friends what they were saying. The ladies were quite embarrassed, but I assured then in Tugalog that I wouldn't tell them. We all laughed while my Marine buddies looked on. 😂

  5394. Hey, look at that Oriental Pearl, your channel has grown to 1000+ subs in no time! Good luck with your continued success. I really enjoy your content, looking forward to more videos!

  5395. I'm watching this while getting ready for my 4th Christmas... And I stopped everything and laughed when she asked if someone was from Russia. Typically she's the one getting confused for the Russian, not the other way around. 😂
    8
  5396. Man... this is literally bringing tears to my eyes. I visited Sensoji Castle this time last year. I was supposed to go back this year. Damn Covid!
    8
  5397. Great discussion, and I'm really enjoying these conversations you're having with other language learners. Keep up the great work!

  5398. I am going to have my daughter watch this as she is trying to learn Japanese.

  5399. You and your family are cute as heck! 🌈🌷

  5400. Oriental Pearl I don't care what these clowns say about you I have the utmost love & respect for what you do. I've watched Japanese Anime since 1996 & since then Japanese language has been one of my 3 favorites. Stay strong & keep doing what you love best. Domo Ariagato 😎✌

  5401. The user of this computer has logged out. So my close companion, the monitor, and I, the keyboard, would like to take this rare opportunity to praise your awesome Mandarin skills. Oh, we have to shut down now, bye...

  5405. ナツカシス。お元気そうで。

  5406. I don’t know if it is cultural or not🤔, but your Finnish friend seems a bit standoffish about the whole teaching you language thing. I wish he had picked simple words and phrases for you both to try and seemed to enjoy it more.👍
    8
  5407. Anming I’m so proud of your diversity in languages. You’re S. KOREN pronunciation is improving. Keep making friends by approaching others and speaking their language seems to demonstrate friendship and respect. Have lots of fun and great adventures in S.KOREA. Please show us more of these outside clips. Stay Blessed, Positive and Encouraged. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏽❤️

  5408. when they're taking a picture with the elder lady (5:02), the song that's been played is one of the most famous songs of Brazil ! it's called "Garota de Ipanema", there is also an english version of it, but in brazilian portuguese it is just amazing!

  5415. You should show him Ann Arbor or Royal Oak. Those are pretty nice areas of Michigan
    8
  5416. Anming is the coolest person on youtube that I know because she really cares about her audience. She reads every single comment, and even interacts with us! Thanks for being my favorite Japanese Youtuber, always a pleasure to see your videos come across my feed :-)
    8
  5417. Well deserved! We love you two

  5418. Another nice video 👍 you should link up with Chris from abroad in Japan!

  5425. "Learn one language at the same time!" My high school: "so let's start with one hour of English and then French and how about German at the end of the day?"

  5429. 💕That was just amazing Anming 😍👍👏👏. Your mother is so adorable 😊🤗. Such a sweet smile ☺️👍 and they way she takes things in a positive way with a laugh is inspiring😍👍. Hope the bond between the new family stay strong and grow stronger each year 😊🙏😇. 💕Like always ✨stay you ❤️Be You✨ Anming 😍🤗💕

  5430. "Hallo Talk" felt like an international dating app to me personally. everyone wanted to know how old you are, how tall and how heavy, whether you are single ..... what are such questions doing first? everyone just wants to learn. I've received several offers from men for more
    8
  5431. My boyfriend is like that friend it’s easier for them then having to deal with anything they think may lead to a confrontation
    8
  5432. I love your content, and haven’t been watching too much YouTube lately but I’m really happy that I can come here and just find you living your life. Japan is so interesting.
    8
  5433. your mandarin are so perfect!!!

  5434. “I started eating those kit-kat and then on, it was game over” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5435. This is something within Japanese culture that I have always been attracted to, well archery in general and the underlying "zen" aspects of archery (as it stopped being a "Bushido" after the mass import of guns afaik), the horse riding aspect is icing on the cake as I've a long held respect for the animals. Whilst it is awesome that women are able to get involved with this, however I didn't know that it was open to westerners in general so thanks for that. Interesting concept of the video, it isn't something that I personally care about (I am the "judge what's inside" type of person and don't hold any close affinity for my own nationality, more so my regional history/family history, which is East London if you are curious) but I can understand why it would be a big deal for some people. I would like to see more videos on these sorts of societal issues (not exclusively on the foreigner/native issues) as I feel that you are in a unique position to be able to showcase and explain the issues to a western audience and be able to get frank discussion on them with the Japanese natives. Thanks for the content, if only for letting me know that horseback archery is open to westerners, it's going to be something that I am going to be looking at seriously when I am finally able to travel to Japan.
    8
  5436. People in some countries are very curious about things like life in Canada, my family, how easy is it to find housing or work there. The odd older woman will play matchmaker, telling me they have a fine woman in their family for me to marry. In some African countries it was common for people to tell me I should be married by age 22. They then offered some examples of women to marry.
    8
  5437. Oddly enough, when Weird Al released his "I'm Fat" video I started questioning my biases. People are different. Vive la difference!
    8
  5438. I swear as soon as I start my new semester‘s student job, supporting you is one of the first things on my bucket list. You have been one of my biggest motivations when it comes to learning languages since Covid began, I‘m so thankful for the experiences you share 🙏🏼:)

  5439. As I said “ you are a breath of fresh air “. I just love the actual conversations 🖖

  5440. Not relevant to Japan but I'm Half thai and half Scottish and was raised in thailand. People would be so surprised when I spoke thai, I really understand how this guy feels

  5441. Anyone who says "stop showing off" has some deep insecurities. The healthy reaction would be "that's so cool/awesome/fantastic" which it is.

  5442. OMG thank u so much for this amazing video ❤ I was eagerly waiting for this video ♡ Tommy's reaction is precious . I am so happy for both of u 😚😚

  5443. 面白かった人そうたじ。 I personally don't like hitting on random people but the one thing that I admire about this guy is his confidence. It's on another level.

  5444. These types of video are wholesome and weird at the same time 😂😂😩😂😂
    8
  5445. The only time i tried to do archery, was in a kermesse (back in the city of Nice) where the bow string was way too hard (probably made on purpose to make people fail their shots), then the shot went like 1m under the target, not hitting 1 aluminum can... therefore my kid's mind, immediately abandoned such endeavour.

  5446. I can speak 10 languages: Portuguese, Brazilian, American, Australian, English, Canadian, New Zealander, South African, etc :-)

  5449. YES, MUSCLE lol 4:53 YES MACHO
    8
  5450. I fiddle with languages for fun. I've been going back and forth with Mandarin and Japanese but nothing serious. My boss is native Chinese but I like Japanese entertainment. Both have great history, architecture, food, and landscapes. Your channel is encouragement to do both. I've become less shy over the years and seeing you on adventures makes me want to travel for the first time and live it up :D But I feel ya on the cow tounge. I whouldnt either (I also developed an intolerance to red meat when I was 21. Thats gonna be a fun obstacle to navigate during travels lol)
    8
  5451. I love your videos! As a Japanese who did not grow up in Japan, I find it very interesting to learn about the culture. People clearly need to re-educate themselves on cultural appropriation.
    8
  5452. This was brilliant and awesome. Japan truly is the best country on earth!!!!🇯🇵😉😊🥰😍😎👉👌👏🙌👍

  5453. The rickshaw driver was really awesome! His energy was so bright and fun! Much love to all my mixed people all over the world! 💖

  5457. That dude was Yakuza! Watch out!!!

  5458. Learning is a lifelong process and you're setting a fantastic example. If I was to start learning a new language now I'll forever be looking at those bottom shelf basic textbooks.
    8
  5459. Very interesting and informative video. While you may not be working as hard as some of these animators, I can see the thought and effort that went into editing this video. Excellent job. I also appreciate you finding new and interesting topics for vids. I always look forward to new vids from you because I know it will be high effort and high quality. And I'd love to see more of your art work. That Dracula drawing from "Van Helsing" was great!
    8
  5460. "You should share." "No!" 😂🤣 You guys are great. Hopefully the trip itself was a fun one. Thankfully you didn't fall there either at the end. 😁👍🏽

  5461. Watching right now from the Philippines.cant wait to taste that flying noodles soon!so much fun how they served it. Kioskete ne☺️
    8
  5462. as a "true polyglot," the only way I earned fluency in these languages was by full immersion in multiple languages as a child. I actually have dissociative identity disorder, which is complicated, but it enables me to be able to be immersed in many languages as the same time, because of the way I can seclude myself in my mind while still being present in the real world.
    8
  5463. How is it bad when you are respectful and have pure love for a culture. I say love is always good in all its forms.
    8
  5464. Its sad that some people have a lot of negative energy and take it out on every one. I truly believe that mental illness is real and this is a good example. You guys are awesome and Lisa is super talented . Be safe friends
    8
  5465. Great video! I'm learning 日本語 right now and I feel like this was the first video I've ever watched were I felt like I understood most of what was said. I don't have a huge vocabulary, but I heard a lot of words I've learned recently. It was very encouraging for me! Thanks for making great videos!
    8
  5466. So, Anming, as an older American male, if I tried to speak with a younger Asian woman there, it would be considered "Nanpa" ("hitting on them"), even if I was just making friendly conversation? I would certainly not trying to hit on a woman, unless we have been talking for a very long time and I saw there was mutual interest, body language, etc. I typically wont discuss, unless brought up, at a later stage in the conversation. Most people are very surprised when I reveal that I'm 53 and think I'm in my mid-30's. I think my having discussions about hobbies, interests about music, etc., a lot of times will show that I hang with a much younger crowd that my age group. To me- age is only a number....I love staying younger in my interests, in my hobbies, my music, and my lifestyle, in general...it certainly brings up the the interesting point if a conversation is considered "nanpa" or just "friendly"
    8
  5467. Nice to hear pure honesty for an uncomfortable subject and told in a positive sweet way somehow!
    8
  5468. I know this is off topic but I love his phone case!
    8
  5469. Thank you for such an adorable video, your family is precious!❤
    8
  5470. I’m trying to learn a language right now and your channel has been a good motivator for me, I’m glad youre honest with your approach, it gives your videos substance. Channels that use clickbait and exaggerate their skills are fine for entertainment but have no real substance and are more of a time waster.
    8
  5471. Good video, if I saw a mixed person or a foreign looking person in my school, work, or university! I would be intrigued and would want to be friends! I see people like that as unique and different! I see different as a good thing! Many people seem to have a very narrow minded view and aren't open minded at all! Come on, it's the 21st Centuary! Not the Medieval Times!❤
    8
  5472. I appreciate your channel a lot as I am missing Japan after visiting there right before Corona Virus hit the US. Thank you for the joyful interactions!

  5475. Thanks for sharing. As a 3rd generation Canadian Japanese, it's cool to see this. Unfortunately my native tongue was not passed down to me out of fear, due to the poor treatment of Canadian Japanese in the internment camps. Maybe one day I will aspire to learn my native tongue and also learn about my native culture/traditions. Keep doing what you do.
    8
  5476. Another inspiring and interesting video! Well done Robyn and Oriental Pearl!
    8
  5477. Right now, this is the motivation I needed to hear. I'm learning Mandarin and literally struggling with tones of new characters while constantly wondering why I pick it when I can probably learn Japanese in less time. It's gonna be tough be I will keep on learning till I reach proficiency. 加油中文
    8
  5478. Today is the first day in over a year that I sat down and spent an hour studying Korean vocab. Felt so good! Sometimes you just have to stop putting off things for the next day and just sit down with the language and go for it. I've found that once you get started with a study session it's a lot easier to continue to go strong, the hardest part is simply GETTING STARTED ^^
    8
  5479. If I can't push a button to cook something, it doesn't get cooked.

  5481. I hope to meet you someday. Love the shock on their faces after you speak their languages.

  5482. There is absolutely no way to please everyone. You'll have to learn to not worry about pleasing everyone. I think YouTube is all about just doing what you like, and not what everyone else likes. I would just post what I like. Those who would like my content will continue to watch. Whoever doesn't like my content will move on.
    8
  5483. I remember long ago I taught English conversation in Japan. I'm Japanese-American so I understand the Japanese language to a large degree. (I'm Nisei.) I came back to California and there is this Japanese grocery store down my street. I went there one day to buy my elderly mother some food and met this white girl that over a few months developed into a relationship. I brought her home to meet my mum and to my UTTER SHOCK she started speaking to her in nearly spotless Japanese. I'll never forget it. My mum was so thrilled.
    8
  5484. Este video fue igual de nostálgico que el anterior. Sigue creciendo!! :D
    8
  5485. Would you personally say you’re more comfortable in speaking Japanese or Chinese? (In terms of fluency)
    8
  5486. I'm so impressed! Although I can hear a (slight) accent in your Japanese, your mandarin is spot on! I'm half Hong-Kongese and half-Japanese myself. Living in Scandinavia =)
    8
  5487. Amazing video. Thank you for that. I think you are one of the smartest persons I've ever seen on screen.
    8
  5488. Hii I know I forgot to introduce myself on Instagram I'm sorry for that😅 Love the interactions with you and Japanese and Chinese people of all genders
    8
  5489. Need to drop the “prank”. Sounds a little tasteless and beneath a very impressive woman that you are.

  5490. I seriously couldn't tell time... Keep making awesome contents 👍. I love your videos 😍👍

  5491. Get 'em

  5493. I do it all! Duo lingo paired with Pimsleur audiobooks and I try to immerse myself by watching anime and following Japanese Twitch streamers. Love you videosssss <3
    8
  5494. My daughter takes French in school and does Duolingo. She and her friends that do the same are at the top of the class. It is always about that little extra commitment that goes a long way. Love your videos, I feel like it makes the world a happier place!
    8
  5495. I laughed so hard at this. Here she is saying how they like to take selfies and they start taking her into their selfies hahaha
    8
  5496. I love what you are doing with your videos. The message you are sending to the world is amazing!! Bringing light to these topics and situations thats us, the japan enthusiasts, never thought actually exist!. Thank you very very much! Muchisimas gracias por tus videos!

  5497. Love it! Thanks for spreading some Christmas joy! 😊

    8
  5499. I loved this! It is so interesting to hear about the small things (like needing to learn a different version of Japanese for office life) that make up your life there! It is also so cool that you've found what seems like a more laid back or progressive company to work for!
    8
  5500. it's crazy how hearing cicadas in Japan will always nostalgically remind me of the anime Neon Genisis
    8
  5501. Amazing how language changes the barriers of knowing a person. How nice people can be is wonderful.
    8
  5502. It’s always fun when Oriental Pearls on her journeys around Asia 😊❤ And everyone’s shocked that she knows the language lol 😂
    8
  5503. I am a youtube-r from China. Honestly I wonder how long it takes for you to command mandarin so fluently, did you live in mandarin speaking environment for a long time, your language skill is really something that I admire.

  5512. 👏🏻What a wonderful experience sharing! And How could you be a expat teacher for 8 years?😱 I have been a teacher👩🏻‍🏫 for 4 years (two years in China🇨🇳 as an English teacher and 2 years in Thailand 🇹🇭as a Chinese teacher)I could totally understand you. I love my kids but class management is a real problem for me. 🤭Class management in an international school is even harder.

  5515. haha, what I experienced is that Japanese are afraid of foreigner at first because they’re shy to speak English,...^^ And when they figure that you speak Japanese they’re very friendly! :)

  5516. Beautiful ceremony. You both look stunning and very happy. God bless you both 🥰

  5521. Underground churches ? I'm catholic , I visited China and when to church above ground in an open public church. Christianity and Islam is not prohibited at all unless it's unregistered as I know. Many cults goes underground as they are prohibited in China and so is many other countries that prohibit them. Love you both , Keep up the good vibes and spread love 👍🙏

  5522. Oh you use HelloTalk too?! I use it for years now haha! It's a really good app!!! :)

  5523. Cool video; really interesting to see everyone's reactions. Since I'm in the states, I wonder if Jesse surprised people here by not being African-American, but actually having a Nigerian dad. Really interesting to hear that in Indiana you felt less judged on how you look; that conveyed to me how homogeneous Japan still is. Kudos for a really great collab, both of you.

  5524. Why do I feel like watching "Inception" in the introductory minutes reverse clips and your subsequent life (story) in China and Japan older clips "dream within a dream"?

  5525. Another great one, I've been watching your videos for some time now, always enjoy them... Thanks again and please keep posting ❤❤

  5532. My mother was a dressmaker, a teacher of dressmaking and design and a student of history of fashion. She taught me that the design of the kimono has been very constant for many centuries. There was/is still fashion in Japanese formal women's clothes, but it is expressed in the colours and the patterns on the fabrics; the cut of the garments hardly changes.
    7
  5533. I love this! So much talent and hard work; can you recommend an excellent online French course?
    7
  5534. From a language geek, I find your videos so motivating to keep learning Mandarin, especially seeing the positive reaction of native speakers! I can't get enough of these interactions! My Mandarin skills are nowhere near as proficient as yours, but it's a fun and interesting learning experience so far.

  5536. At my company's Christmas party years ago, we got fortune cookies. Mine said, "You are soon going to change your present line of work." More like a mis-fortune cookie. A few years later, the company sold off part of the business and my job went bye-bye.

  5537. Hi Anming! I'm happy to see you two together.😊

  5538. Facts! You do meet the coolest people on the street 😆

  5539. This was equally heartbreaking as they are decent people with dignity, as it is inspiring and a testament to the human spirit and survival.

  5540. I am an introvert too but when i am traveling and i am depending on people it's pretty easy for me to ask information from them. And sometimes i had some decent conversations from these things. 😂 Oh and we were in a market with colleagues but i was the only one who spoke a little german but we still managed to have some fun time with the vendors. 😁

  5541. I dont know what it is but you just send out those amazing happy vibrations! Everyone you interact with and even the ones in the backround are so bloomin happy. Keep being you 頑張れ

  5543.  @OrientalPearl  Have as much fun as you can, you deserve it. And in the mean time I'll be following and liking the videos to come. (Also I'm in Germany right now awaiting my first day of my new job tomorrow and with Dutch being my native language you inspire me to learn German as well because why not 😁)
    7
  5544. I live in Canada and there's people from so many backgrounds here that are canadian citizens and that I consider canadian as well regardless of ethnicity. I feel there's a difference between belonging to a culture and ancestry. When your parents or grand parents have relocated from X to Y and you're born and raised in Y, you're definitely culturally Y but have X ancestry. And we can go way back too; I'm not Native Canadian so I'm Canadian but I have French ancestry
    7
  5545. He's a very positive guy and the way he views this shows it. I think it will change over a few decades once Japan has more foreigners come in and settle. I was taken back a bit by the statistic of 98% ethnically Japanese! One would imagine maybe 80%. Thanks for the great content as always Anming :D
    7
  5546. Always a enjoyable moment watching you guys. Keep up the fantastic content!
    7
  5547. I actually like this video, wish it was longer. More of what you do, how people interact with you more and stuff like that. Keep up the good job
    7
  5548. Finally somebody has the courage to made this video about all this fake polyglots that all they do it’s to set unrealistic goals.

  5549. That’s so sweet that you got her a gift! 💕

  5550. Happy 1 year anniversary Anming! ❤️🌸🌹I really like this channel and I'll keep watching your videos! Btw, that Pikachu cake looked soooo cute and delicious! 😁😋😍

  5553. Nice video. Do you ever miss China? I lived in Chengdu for 6 years and i find myself feeling like i really miss the sichuan culture and cuisine. It's just so difficult to live under that communist government now.. i would love to live there again one day if the situation in China became good. Now however i am enjoying Thailand instead. Better weather, cleaner lifestyle but still i miss China !

  5554. I’m glad you’re ok snd nothing serious happened from the earthquake. Nice video with your new boyfriend hope to see more of you him in your videos

  5561. Congratulations on the million subscribers. I used to watch you many many years ago and then when I moved to Japan in 2021 you had around 230,000 subscribers. You’ve come a long way 🎉

  5562. Yes we southern Chinese may sometimes mis-pronounce "zh", "ch", "sh" as "z", "c", "s", so-called "lazy pronounciation"? "懒音"? "司书不分：在一些吴语中，比如中派和新派上海话，读音上“斯”=“书”，发生了“书”并入“斯”的过程。在普通话里，这两组字读音是有区别的，在很多吴语中也是。有些吴语则是把“书”并入了“虚”中，即“书”=“虚”，如江阴话。这里要讲的所谓“斯书”之分就是指以“斯”、“书”为代表的这两类字的区别。是以苏州话和老派上海话为蓝本的，区分这两组字的方法，即立足于这两组字韵母的不同。 “斯”这类字的发音，跟普通话一样，韵母是吴语拼音的y，没有韵母一样。 “书”的韵母用吴语拼音表示就是yu，是y的圆唇音。先发“斯”，然后慢慢把嘴唇收拢，就是“书”的音。"

  5564. I remember getting a similar reaction from my Grandma when I first decided to move abroad to Japan. She'd grown up during the second world war so she had Japan = bad in her head ever since and thought it would be dangerous. It was interesting getting her to visit before she passed away and she actually really enjoyed it, probably healed some old prejudices and stereotypes she had from way back. People tend to have an idea in their head about a country and also feel you can only be part of one country and culture. I'm very proud of being English and that culture, I also enjoy being part of Japanese culture. There are plenty of things I like and dislike about living in either country and didn't leave England because I hated it or had no friends or whatever. I think I'm like most people and just hit a point where I felt if I don't go experience what's out there soon I never will. Seeing life from other perspectives is a really good thing. There are probably plenty of negative China Youtubers as much as there are Japan ones. I grew tired of English speaking Youtubers in Japan for a long time because they were either miserable or just batshit crazy, only so much negativity you can take before you're asking "If you hate it why not leave?" but they never want to. I guess it's more because negativity and sensationalism gets more views lol. As far as stereotypes and people questioning you're a spy or being paid by the Chinese government, I guess you didn't help matters by showing footage of yourself in university doing a presentation on how evil American media is and how they are wrong about China lol, even I laughed a little at that. I guess if you're a positive person and don't act like all these super negative expats people make assumptions that you're a shill.
    7
  5565. People will be negative and judge anything. The fact that you are able to live in Japan and appreciate their culture is amazing. It shows a form of respect.

  5570. I am amazed that I’m one of only 0.8% of people who have subscribed to this channel. It’s been both entertaining and educational. I had planned for a 50th wedding anniversary visit to Japan. Had tickets booked, itinerary sorted and unfortunately Covid-19 struck. The plan is still there but with a revised itinerary due to watching some of these videos. We have been attempting to learn some Japanese. Keep up with the good work on the channel.

  5576. Welcome to Vietnam!

  5577. Great video. At the 8 minute mark, your conversation with the staff about the difference between people in the west compare to people in Asia was spot on. Being an Asian American, I know exactly what you are talking about.
    7
  5578. I think you Chinese is absolutely brilliant, native speaker level just like me. I was born in Beijing and moved to Australia at 12. So I am also fluent in English.
    7
  5579. I see by the subtitles you "didn't have a nag" for languages. So I need somebody to keep badgering me until I master it? YES! Makes perfect sense now. 🤣 Great video, by the way, thanks! You have a knack for them. 🙂

  5587. As a CNA, this is touching and wonderful. I love Lisa's story! On another point, the 4 people steeped in the deep addle of misery who've chosen to dislike such an inspiring video need to go buy some GLAD force-flex but pronto. Another wonderful video, my dear! <3

  5592. Just stumbled upon your videos, it's pretty impressive to see someone speak chinese, japanese and english without troubles and switch between them so easily. I am studying korean for years and I get nowhere. At least I don't really realize my progress. It's quite frustrating, but watching you definitely motivates.
    7
  5593. Its beautiful that in life two people can have such great experiences, that many other people will never get the chance to experience. Im American and recently moved to Japan, its really interesting to see things from a different cultural perspective. These are definitely life long memories and this video has so much happiness.
    7
  5594. Hey just came across your channel and I'm in love already. Going to binge watch all of them. I really would love to learn Japanese but also to teach or run a community club in Japan. All the best on your adventures x

  5595. anming, you are so buoyant and ebullient. i appreciate your embrace of the Japanese culture and bringing it to us. you go gajin girl.

  5600. Or, if they turn their heads away, like I would, it could mean that they have Asperger's Syndrome - like myself - and have trouble with eye contact. We aren't always able to correlate thinking and eye contact. I have to look away - down, usually to my right - process, and then come back again. That's because communication is all loaded into the intellectual/frontal lobes. So we have to 'recharge' frequently., sometimes for great duration.

  5601. What I like the best is "You being you" 😍👍... It makes the video more natural and watching a worthwhile 👍👏👏👏 You wearing your heart on your sleeves is really amazing👍🙏💐

  5603. I was born in a Russian Polish family raised in Montreal Canada. I literally grew up with 4 native languages. In addition, I had Spanish in school for 12 years, and Spanish is pretty easy for native speakers of French. So I grew up in a very fortunate environment. Then I spent another 5 years learning German and Norwegian because I moved to Europe and finally lived in China, Jinan for a solid 5 years where I took my HSK5. Now what people don't understand is because I know French and Spanish I can easily fake Portuguese and Italian, Catalan and other romance languages. Once on a vacation to Italy decided to study like 25 hours of Italian. I could literally get around and understood 90% and could speak on a decent level enough to sound communicative, but in reality I was using my other languages and mimicking them into Italian. A few months later, Obviously I forgot everything. Look for polyglots who tend to know languages from a similar family, then you will know that they are just "Fake Speaking" using some other language as the foundation. In my opinion, it doesn't count. Once while visiting Ukraine, I met a Ukrainian teacher who was teaching Polish university students in Lviv and she said that it's easier to teach an Indian guy how to speak Ukrainian than Polish people, because poles just use their own language and change up the words without using the proper cases, because its less effort since the words are so similar. Its like Americans putting "o" and "a" at the end of English words to sound Spanish. I did the same when visiting the Czech Republic in a few years back. Czech is similar to Polish and Russian, so I decided to study 25 hours by myself and I could have pretty decent conversations with people (nothing too fancy.) Officially, I speak 5 languages C1 and the rest are like B1.. I can also speak like 5-6 languages A-1A2 level by copying from other languages and changing up the endings. My Chinese and, Norwegian German alone took like 5 years. Its true. Languages take a really huge amount of time, and those who claim to speak 10 languages C1 level, is a bit far-fetched. I mean I haven't spoken German in years, my current level is like A2 now... Right now it would be the easiest thing in the world for me to make a video w here I speak 15 languages. I would just line up the languages from the same language family of the languages I already know and change up some words and endings. French-Spanish-Portuguese-Italian-Catalan English-German-Norwegian-Swedish-Danish Russian-Polish-Ukrainian-Belarussian-Czech-Slovak Don't get fooled guys and take it from a guy who was fortunate to be born in a multilingual family.

  5604. Married status at 8:04. In some countries people will be very forward and ask about your marital status. This is especially true in countries where no wedding rings are worn by married people. Once they determine your single status all of a sudden matchmakers appear wanting to set you up with a grand daughter or next door neighbor. I even had a friend on a vacation whose father was approached by a farmer and offered livestock in exchange for his two daughters. The farmer had two young sons who needed brides. Even in Canada this will happen. Some of the older European women at my local deli would try and set me up with their daughter or granddaughters. One stated her daughter "was a nice girl. Very smart and educated. She will also make a great wife and bear you children." In Sicily a woman wanted to fix me up with her granddaughter so I could take her back to Canada. She tried to sell me on the value of traditional Sicilian women as wives and they were also "good breeding stock."

  5605. Omg!! This was so beautiful I cried tears of joy for you both!! So happy guys!!

  5607. I studied Japanese way back in the 90s, and it was way harder than now. You have so many resources today that I didn't have access to back then. This is why I lost the language completely. I just had no one to practice with. The only ones I could speak to were the Japanese tourists that came by my work, but that's more simple, polite phrases than actual conversations. Today, I wish I had persisted. And also studied Chinese, which was the other option I was toying with. I find mandarin a beautiful language and would love to learn it. But with my health being so poor, I can't afford to spend energy on stuff that aren't vital. I do binge a lot of Cdrama and have picked up words here and there, but nothing I can use. I regret not choosing Chinese first. I guess I just couldn't choose between Cantonese and Mandarin (I had many friends from Hong Kong back then). Are you planing on learning Cantonese at some point? You're currently studying both Korean and Vietnamese? Just out of curiosity, why Vietnamese? This going to the market to talk various languages sees to be an effective way to get more subscribers. You got 2-3 just in this video. You deserve way more.

  5613. Well Anming, I know we have talked about my plans privately, but I'll share them here for others to see. I am presently committed & enrolled at The Language House in Prague. I traveled to the Czech Republic and was actually in Prague when the pandemic started. But I realize by speaking with Czech and Russian people there that there was a definite need for native English speakers to teach English. I will be studying to get my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification, whenever the travel ban and the borders reopen and the school officially reopens. So, in the meantime to prepare, I have been taking formal Czech AND Russian language lessons, with 4 different instructors (2 Czech and 2 Russian), sometime 6-8 lessons a week, minimum of 60-90 minute sessions each. I also speak Spanish and German, but at A2 levels on both. In two months of study, I'm at an A2 level in Czech and I've improved my Russian from a B1 to a B2 level. I also have a gal that I am interested in that lives near Krakow, Poland, so I'm already learning some Polish from her too!! The main thing is you have to have a passion for languages and culture and be willing to go outside your comfort zone. You have to set goals for learning, have a passion and study with a purpose, and put in the time & effort! You also have to immerse yourself in the target language (s) you are studying. Watch You Tube videos, music videos, TV shows, read dual language "mirror" books, use online resources like Pimsleur, the language101 or pod101 sites, or italki.com, where I have 3 of my 4 instructors from doing video call classes. I am a bit of a perfectionist and was afraid to make mistakes, because I always want to do well, but the more I relaxed, the more I started listening & comprehending my target languages and was speaking better too. Anming, you are a MAJOR inspiration for my language journey, even though I do not know Japanese or Chinese, one day I want to learn them and I will. Thank you for being such a great person, you are a pillar of the You Tube and world communities and I am grateful to call you my friend!! Lots of love & respect, dear!

  5619. Good for Katie's parents sticking to their language at home. You have to do this, especially for the parent in the country that doesn't speak their language. My 3 year old learns English only from me as we do not live in an English speaking country. Without me he would struggle to talk to the maternal side of his family.

  5620. I have a question: How long did it take before you felt relatively fluent in Japanese and Chinese? Six months? Two years? Thanks for inspiring me to learn Japanese sooner

  5624. I’m not Korean but I have been learning it. I’m so amazed by your progress and confidence to speak it already with others. Rather than actively studying (cause I get bored easily), I consume a lot of Korean content. This means I can understand a lot of the language, I’ve done the listening tests on TTMIK and I can understand about 80-90% up to level 10. However I find speaking difficult cause I know phrases but not necessarily the structure to form larger sentences. It’s okay though, I’ll soon get there, practice makes perfect! That was a long paragraph about me, but I do really want to say how proud I am of you. I have been following for a year now and your skills never cease to amaze me. Keep up the good work!

  5627. Wow, how ridiculous are these guys. You come off as nothing less than authentic. Both of you are awesome and haters will be pathetic haters. You really gotta question what is going on in their lives that they choose to pick on others.

  5628. About a month ago I tried to eat a cupcake at work forgetting I was wearing a mask.....#awkward!

  5629. Congratulations! What a beautiful ceremony! Your dress was beautiful and you looked so gorgeous!

  5630. I live near the Syro-African Rift. It runs the entire length of Israel. But starts north, and heads down into Africa. Overdo for a major quake. A way of life for tens of millions! Japan is better prepared than most countries... I'd guess. Cheers!

  5631. There was the keyword „a little bir of japanese“....

  5632. Keep being you Pearl! Appreciate the fact that you have knowledge deep into the roots of Japan as well. Knowledge is power!

  5633. This theme never gets old. 😂
    7
  5634. this is literally so adorable! wishing well for the both of you! 💞
    7
  5635. I think since you went in to the rougher areas or projects of some of Japan's major cities, it is only fair that Tommy does the same in the States. Very understandable.This was a fun interaction.
    7
  5636. 'Low production quality?' Who would even say that, I never once thought her videos were anything but great quality.
    7
  5637. ❤️❤️❤️ I love this channel
    7
  5638. These are great fun to watch, we would like more, please! Currently living in Vietnam and starting to learn the language. Subscribed.
    7
  5639. For an intelligent person like you who did a great job at Mandarin / Chinese, I'm not surprised that you'd be good at Japanese too. Still very impressive.
    7
  5640. Wow, your mandarin is just amazing fluent
    7
  5641. Just the shot of wholesome that I needed today! Thanks!

  5642. I enjoy your content, and I enjoyed listening to Miki. Also, I’m still enjoying Pimsleur 😊

  5643. kinda living for lisas fashion, tell her i said she's so pretty and inspirational!! <3

  5644. Beijing has those Gingko trees though that turn yellow.
    7
  5645. I hope you uploaded this interesting video now because you can’t wait for us to enjoy it and not because of a sleepless night.
    7
  5646. I don’t have an urge to learn a new language but I still watch/am subscribed to your channel. Your vid’s are entertaining/knowledgeable. If I took up learning another language it would definitely be an Asian language like you probably Japanese. TY 4 the content🙂
    7
  5647. Another great seasonal video Alisa. It's good to see you and Tommie enjoying Halloween like that. When we can no longer be silly and act like a kid for the day, we might as well be already dead - and I guess Halloween is one of those occasions that lets us lose our inhibitions and do just that. Best of luck. From Steve in England.

  5648. Learning a language is kind of like learning to play a musical instrument. You can learn how to play Smoke on the Water on one string and then tell everyone you play guitar. If that’s as far as you want to go with it then great, but it’s kind of limiting. If you want to learn 10 more songs on five more strings it’s going to take a little more time and effort.

  5649. When I'm learning chinese I feel annoyed with the writing order what's the difference? Writing 口 can't just do it one way why 3 stroke?
    7
  5650. First here!!

  5651. Wow - $1,000,000.00. It’s crazy. Am so happy for you both!!!!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!!! Congrats on reaching 1 million subscribers.
    7
  5652. Totally fell for that "approaching a good-looking guy" part!😃 Honestly thought you would approach a random stranger. Anming and Tommy make a great couple though. Why are you wearing a yukatta? Is it a special occasion or a holiday?
    7
  5653. Wow! I couldn't have agreed with this video more! I cringe when people brag about how they're polyglots because, being able to speak multiple languages myself, I don't ever think I'll be able to call myself fluent in any of the languages. My language abilities mirror what I have had to use them for and what I needed/wanted to learn (making friends, explaining basic points, getting food and required needs, going to government agencies for BASIC things, responding to people (but not necessarily starting the conversation), etc). Anytime I had to dive outside of those areas, I had to study beforehand -- but this to me is stepping out of my comfort zone which I LIVE for! It's so fun and new! I think there is a lot of pressure for people to be fluent for "fluent's" sake. The part about connecting to other cultures and people gets lost. My thoughts: While more than basic language skill is indeed required, I personally don't think one has to be fluent in a language to really connect to the culture or the people within that culture. It all depends on what you need the other language for. This has been my personal experience traveling to 6 of the 7 continents and living in communities where English was not spoken. I think fluency is best for people who must work in that language (which also requires technical language skills in that field). This is actually a topic I'm very interested in, as I have these discussions with others too. I loved this video!!! Btw, sorry if I took the topic too personally. It bothers me when people do what I just did in this comment. Hahaha. Sorry about that.
    7
  5654. I always get excited whenever you post 😂
    7
  5655. I think what YOU are doing is really cool .. and you have beautiful hair! :)
    7
  5656. Your laugh is infectious!! How long did it take for you to get used to eating Chinese and Japanese cuisine?? Well done.
    7
  5657. i’ve been studying mandarin for three years now! it’s shockingly easy to pick up on, but pronunciation and speed is SO DIFFICULT. i hope to study abroad in china for a bit or teach there to really solidify some speaking skills. i aspire to reach your level of fluency— it’s incredible 🤩
    7
  5658. Loved this, again it was cool to see something a big more personal. I saw your comment and a mix of vlogging and language is definitely good. Best of both worlds. Though I came here for the language I actually love vlogs too, so win win and I'm sure there are others that feel the same! Keep it up
    7
  5659. That food looked really good. Here in the south, pickled pigs feet are a thing, not my thing though!
    7
  5660. Love this vlog only wished it was longer. Looking forward to the next one😊
    7
  5661. I could hear very well, no problems. These reactions are the best. If you have any language learning tips it would be nice to hear you to talk about them.
    7
  5662. Of course I made it to the end of the video - that's just what your #1 fan in Seattle does! 🤗
    7
  5663. You guys look so cute together. I'm so happy for both of you. 💖
    7
  5664. Pia is beautiful. Great video. Love the guy from Peru. He was funny.
    7
  5665. I saw your post on HelloTalk. This was hilarious!
    7
  5666. Your comments about being an introvert, and basically just getting out of your comfort zone, and then...welll... making it your comfort zone, are things everyone needs to pay attention to. Get comfortable, being uncomfortable is a thing. You seem super ballsy now, and it's great to watch.
    7
  5667. that's nice, sharing joy onto others!
    7
  5668. This was so interesting. Thank you for your video.

  5669. Tochigi Prefecture is my home town! I was surprised when you said the word Utsunomiya！ I'm looking forward to your video！

  5670. I swear, these never get old!
    7
  5671. Ahhh you are so pretty 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ Congrats on the marriage!!! You look like a supermodel in that dress. So beautiful and elegant. Hopefully your family can visit soon! Wish you and tommy the best!!!
    7
  5672. So happy for you guys! Beautiful setting and beautiful scenery! All the best! ps. I got married 2 months ago 😄😄.
    7
  5673. Great message at the end 😊 Love to everybody ❤️
    7
  5674. The truth is plenty of foreigners in SKorea & Japan speak the respective local languages so it's not that big of a deal anymore. SKorea for example, there are a lot of foreigners who don't even live there can understand even read & write korean/hangul because of the popularity of kpop & kdrama (especially in the Asia continent). Even I self taught hangul. It's not very difficult or complicated like the chinese characters/japanese kanji.
    7
  5675. This was so beautiful Congrats, I wish you guys the best !
    7
  5676. Anming, I missed your videos. Keep posting, we love the content.
    7
  5677. Aaah I have always wanted to try Kyudo~ This is one of the bucket list I need to do before I die. I'm currently living in Tokyo and I've been looking for a dojo for a year already. But I'm still not confident with my Japanese so I'm still looking for a dojo where the instructor can at least teach me in basic English. I think I want to try this place, may I know where this is located, and how much money/equipment do I need to prepare beforehand? Thank you so muuchh! <3
    7
  5678. Woah I’m early
    7
  5679. Thank you for making these videos with the focus to educate Westerners about the Japanese and Chinese culture. I wish there are more people like you taking the time and efforts to produce these quality educational videos! The Western media likes to portray that Chinese and Japanese hate each other; however, your videos definitely prove them wrong 👍
    7
  5680. This warmed my heart so much. Congratulations to you both!!💞👏🏻 I would really love to learn Japanese and maybe find a significant other from Japan since I just love the culture and how respectful they are.
    7
  5681. Aiming, I appreciate your willingness to put yourself out there and your ability to make friends with complete strangers. I’m sure after all those hard years of study, it’s really enjoyable to communicate freely with the locals. Another great video! I can’t wait for your next release.
    7
  5682. The way I see it, videos like Wouter's have their own value, specially to people who are afraid of making mistakes. I have taught Spanish and English to a number of people, even though I don't have a major in teaching languages, and the number one barrier that they need to cross is the fear or shame to speak in public, make mistakes and not being understood. My only criticism is to youtubers who claim that you can become fluent in any language in a month, to promote and sell their own courses, just to get people disapointed. Yes, you can learn a language in 1 month, or 2 months, or 3 months, I have seen it first hand, but the level you reach varies due to many factors like what languages you already know, what these languages have in common with the language you are trying to learn, how much time and effort you put into achieving your goal. Also, what do you mean by fluency? Does it mean you can speak about anything? I consider myself fluent in English but don't talk to me about economics, there might be a good amount of words that I don't know. At last, it all comes down to what level of a language you want to achieve or need, and what you want to do with it, be it for work or just for the fun of learning.
    7
  5683. Beyblades! LET IT RIP
    7
  5684. I feel like this video really made me reflect on why I should start making more friends.
    7
  5685. Even though I've not been studying mandarin for very long at all, now listening and being able to catch out even just a few words or couple phrases without looking at subtitles straight away gives me so much motivation to keep going! The ChineseClass101 lessons have been awesome along with my boyfriend who's Chinese helping me practice. I'll also be spending a few months with him in China next year to decide if I like it enough there to ultimately move, whatever happens it's gonna be an awesome experience!
    7
  5686. I love this video so much, it's so heartwarming..🥺 Thank you so much for sharing, may this beautiful family and your marriage be full of everlasting joy!❤️ I'm also a Catholic (who currently lives in Tokyo), I hope I'll able to find my significant other during my stay here and (hopefully) follow your path to get married in St. Mary's Cathedral, Tokyo. <3 Anw, once again congrats on your marriage, and Happy New Year!💕 God bless you and your new family. ❤️❤️

  5688. ▓▒░   I  would   like   to   hear  how they pronounce  the  word:    Karaoke.   If  they pronounce  it with the four syllables:  Car - Rah - Oh - Kay, then  you'll need to   inform the    idio  intelligent ones back home   in   all   fifty   states   to   quit   saying:   carry - oh - kee.   ░▒▓ `

  5689. I loved hearing your conversation with the Taiwanese lady even if it wasn't really a surprise for her. It was insightful and really sweetly pleasant to watch.
    7
  5690. I've heard that my Swedish is amazing my whole life even though I was born here almost some 50 years ago. Edit: Love your videos! :D
    7
  5691. Fun to see this channel grow, when i subscribed there was like 20k subscribers, and now 1 million. Congratulations!
    7
  5692. Congratulations! How wonderful your future in laws respect your Catholic Faith and went to Mass! Awesome!
    7
  5693. I can see where the idea for beyblade came from
    7
  5694. “I don’t know what language to speak anymore” omg as someone who’s mother tongue is spanish and learned English, yes me too😭 (although my spanish is very rusty, and I’m not that confident in it anymore)
    7
  5695. I love this channel so much and I’m so happy for you and your husband. :)
    7
  5696. Oh my gosh! You are an absolute riot. We just have to collab.
    7
  5697. Love her confidence and it's good she can speak multiple languages.
    7
  5698. Wow! Charles is amazing!! Does he watch western TV or media? You can tell he wasn't searching for words..he knew the rights words to say and what they meant!
    7
  5699. First of all, congrats on your wedding! Second, I still think someone will end up making an anime sometime soon about meeting two American women in Japan as heroes! Third, awesome to still see you having fun in Japan! Much love from USA!

  5700. what could be done by an introvert like me in such a busy place
    7
  5701. Congratulations! I hope you and Tommy have a great marriage and married life together!
    7
  5702. I am seriously considering buying a house in Japan. In a rural area. The real estate prices in rural Japan are unbelievable cheap and you get a great value for your money. But I have to admit, that the city view from a higher floor is breathtaking. Maybe I should buy a small studio apartment as well. 😅
    7
  5703. Anming, terrific video. Hopefully I can one day speak Chinese as a well as you--and I am Chinese!
    7
  5704. I was hoping to hear Anming7 drop some bars. 😔
    7
  5705. What a wonderful family. And the most surprising thing of the year is that the dad is watching Big Daws TV (that is absolutely brilliant and I love his channel as well). Best wishes from Sweden!
    7
  5706. So cool 💚🇯🇵
    7
  5707. Great video! I hope you do more like this, showing the different sides of Japan!
    7
  5708. The elderly will always have a special place in my heart <3
    7
  5709. I agree! I used Hello Talk in Japan, it was a great tool to meet native speakers! I think the only useful function of apps is maybe if you were going on a trip to a foreign country and you wanted to learn some helpful phrases....that’s about it 😅
    7
  5710. Wow. Thanks for sharing this. I'm subscribed and on discord. Great experience.
    7
  5711. She’s so pretty 😮. Part of me gets mad when people have a super positive attitude and don’t let being stereotyped bother them. And of course part of me realizes I need to make adjustments so I’m the same way. She has a great attitude towards being a minority in Japan. I want to be more like that.
    7
  5712. Please do some prank videos they are so enjoyable 🤭👍
    7
  5713. Great video, thank you for spreading awareness, keep up the good work 🙏🏼❤️
    7
  5714. This is a great topic! I'm bilingual and fluent in both English and Japanese but I know that my Japanese is not university level so I would struggle to write a thesis or read classical text. For that reason I usually tell people I don't speak Japanese well enough although I'm a native speaker. I think it's difficult to truly claim that you can 'speak' a language until we can express opinions beyond the every day needs.
    7
  5715. It’s so interesting and fun too knowing another language, had several encounters in France and Germany in particular, surprising people like you’ve done 🙏🏻🕊
    7
  5716. I always enjoy your videos. I wish you and Tommy the very best.
    7
  5717. I've been subscribed for a while now, so the only thing I have left to do is to wait for more of your addictive videos.
    7
  5718. Pimsleur is my holy grail at the moment for mandarin. I only care about listening, speaking, and communication focus. Why? because, before i got into learning languages, in this case mandarin, i would completely be unmotivated to even start with all the overwhelming "i have to learn to read, write, listen, and speak in order to know Chinese", thus not even starting at all. So i decide to stick with social communication-based only because that's more of my priority than reading, writing. That's my advice to absolute beginners.
    7
  5719. Thank you for another fun and feel good video. I don't care what they say. I believe there is a God given ability for those who can speak multiple languages with equal fluency and proficiency. If everyone could do it, there'd be so many that could, but many can't, especially in America. The lady selling strawberries that you were speaking Mandarin to seemed to prefer speaking in Korean when replying back to you.
    7
  5720. Now that I've heard some of these sound bites 😧 I'm sorry I haven't been a bigger fan! I like your videos. I learn a lot, I've always taken it at face value I didn't realize that people were so evil to you,😥 you do a great job and the rest of us "white people"...... at least myself, I really appreciate what you do! keep up the great work! This video is the perfect example I've never heard of your guest before, now I'll feel like I know who she is when I hear her music, and that's going to be very important because I only listen to Japanese music! 😊
    7
  5721. ::: what a wonderful video 😊. I'm never disappointed with your stories. Big fan/follower since quite a while and am happy to say that i finally made it to Tokyo. Thank you for all that you both do, even when it rains 😊😅.
    7
  5722. Absolutely love your videos!! I left a complimentary comment on your last video and wanted to expound a bit more. So many videos are "in your face" with a lot of phony preening, lots of annoying edits and cuts, and just coming across as shallow. I know xiaomanyc has brought you many new viewers. There is something refreshingly different about you, and the authenticity is a major part of it. Your speaking mannerisms and your style is so enjoyable, you have a certain grace about you. Superficial phoniness is found everywhere on social media, you come across as authentic and a human being of good character. You're definitely a throwback. I'd love to know how you got this way. I'm guessing you have good parents with a good value system.
    7
  5723. Everyone....make sure you let the ads run all the way through please. It will help ensure we keep getting these video's. I thoroughly enjoy them, as I'm sure you do too.
    7
  5724. I always think nowadays that I wish I had the confidence of age with the looks of my youth. Lol. The older I get the more self confident I am but the more aged I look. When I was young I had looks but no confidence.
    7
  5725. 😂 the manga section when you said you are seeing a theme... overall this video was enjoyable and funny! Also the editing was good. Omg you went to Denny’s! I wanted so much to eat there JUST FOR FUN when in Tokyo. Never made it.
    7
  5726. I would be happy to hear more about this on your channel. Thank you for the kindness you have shown. May you reach your goal. A place that is not unsafe in a typhoon would be such a relief for them to have.
    7
  5727. Omg, I love this womans reaction. It was the best of all the reactions I've seen on this channel so far!
    7
  5728. Chinese prefer to utilize sunlight to dry up their clothing in a more natural way instead of using the dryer. It's somehow killing bacteria as I heard. As for your shoeshop question. I assume some they probably own these places, they just live on ground floor so they did some little modifications of their home to make extra money.Most of them doing this are probably elderly retired people. Interesting story the government wouldn't interfere with any sort of commercial use in their own properties. In terms of that Chinese has more freedom than Americans. I live in Montreal Canada. I have a huge massive balcony which is about 250sqft. I'm not allowed to sleep on it, hanging up any clothes or stuffs on it or any modifications on it. What a waste ! Considering your 2rd question. I totally agree with you. And another reason is that the traffic wasn't an issue at all back in 10, 15 years because private cars were not popularized in china at that time. As china is developing so fast during the past few decades, the car has become more affordable to them. Somehow during a short period of time a great demand of cars has occured in China. In consequence heavy traffic has become a massive problem but the thing is no one would just get rid of his car so easily that he has just bought. I've heard a lot more of them nowadays are going back to the traditional ways to commute in their daily life like what they did back in 2000. Like scooters public transport bicycles instead of cars. However, still u cannot blame on them due to the great population density in China.

  5729. It's so rare to see wholesome content like yours. It's thoroughly enjoyable to see. Keep doing you and congratulations to yall :)
    7
  5730. I'm loving these vids my sister, you are literally my hero and giving me so much courage to study chinese! Stay safe and well sweets.
    7
  5731. I don't think I've ever seen such an adorable girl, ever! Her husband must not have any idea how fortunate he is. You really are 'Oriental Pearl'.

  5732. What a beautiful family. Such a wonderful celebration, everyone is so sweet! Best wishes to all of you ❤
    7
  5733. Hiii Started learning Japanese. Its my dream to visit Japan. Soon as I'm done with school. Enjoying the content from South Africa.✌️ Do you maybe have a video on what camera/editing tools you use?? Thanks
    7
  5734. Seriously, that target 🎯 is really small. It’s amazing that someone can hit it from that distance.
    7
  5735. I began studying japanese 2 weeks ago because of the quarentine and I love your videos, I'm beginning to hear some vocab that I've learned during your encounters with locals and it makes me so happy
    7
  5736. Not sure why your channel is being trolled/bullied =/ such a nice channel! Talking with the locals in Chinese and Japanese! Which many foreigners do not do. I can follow the Japanese parts but not the Chinese haha. Thanks for the subtitles for that!
    7
  5737. I love going through the journey with you and finding something new and exciting. 😊
    7
  5738. Great great video Anming. Though not exactly portraying the homeless, have you seen the film 万引き家族 or “Shoplifters”? Directed by Hirozaku Kore-eda, it does a great job of telling a heart-wrenching story of poverty in Tokyo. Thank you for showing us this side of the city.
    7
  5739. Congrats on earning your Masters! What a great accomplishment. ❤️
    7
  5740. Of all the videos I've seen in the past few weeks, this one put a huge smile on my face! 😁🎄👍🤟
    7
  5741. The Japanese or Chinese will love you 100% as you speak their language, that is for sure!
    7
  5742. Oh wow, I didn't know these places were around. I heard about "bad areas" but I didn't know. I have been in Japan for almost 4 months now and haven't had any bad experiences. The hardest part is the language barrier as I haven't been able to start a language class yet and have only done self teaching for reading and basic words. Then japanese friends will teach me a few words, but that is it. I wish I knew someone who could do weird stuff like this with me. I would go and do something like this with a friend, but I couldn't ever do this alone.
    7
  5743. That was great OP. You always light up their faces.
    7
  5744. Gross! But my curiosity won out, so I viewed the whole episode as an educational process. You are a brave woman! Thank you!
    7
  5745. When people ask me where I can speak sum Japanese words or sentences I would say: I LEARNED IT FROM ANIME UWU
    7
  5746. People takes years of education training to control early years children! You did very well!
    7
  5747. Anming is actually like one of those octopuses in this video with her tentacles spread to so many different parts of Japan. :D
    7
  5748. Good thing you didn't see Sukuna.
    7
  5749. The quality of this video is fucking incredible! 3:31分のお前誰だよはワロータっすw
    7
  5750. Don't be discouraged by a small percentage! Keep the videos coming! The people that love this channel and admire you outnumber the criticism!
    7
  5751. Looks like y’all had s great time, but I would imagine that these types of Halloween celebrations are mostly found only in Tokyo and Osaka and maybe some of the other big cities. Or is Halloween now popular all throughout Japan? Does kids go trick or treating at all there?
    7
  5752. This girl: *visit japan *speak japan Weebs: "She is one of us, and she achieved our dream"
    7
  5753. You're amazing. I admire your passion and talent. Asian languages seem so hard to me.
    7
  5754. I agree! That's how I learn English. By playing video games and talking to people. lol.
    7
  5755. From Germany 🇩🇪 with Love ❤️
    7
  5756. Imagine criticizing anyone recording a skill on YouTube… Kid shows off 5 years of trick-biking talent at park = attention seeking, narcissistic, primitive? Languages REQUIRE you to interact with people to improve. It’s almost like it’s what they were made for. How is practice and progress any of these things??

  5757. I'm glad to hear you're following Catholic tradition. Congratulations on your marriage, all the best for you and your hubby.

  5758. Great vlog! Lots of ppl look down on these people but probably some of the kindest and giving you will come across. My prayers go out to all of them and it’s great your breaking stereotypes

  5764. Omg... I'm from Dominican Republic and I really enjoy your videos sooooo so so much, please keep it up, once i finish college I'll start with mandarin lessons, you inspire me a lot, plus you know Japanese!!!!! I watch anime all day for about 3 years and haven't learn much xd!!!! I will follow you on ig <3
    7
  5765. I understand your frustration as you’ve spent such a long time studying and learning the languages and your dedication to it shows in all your videos! We love to see it. Your feelings are understandable. I think it’s difficult because there isn’t a huge population of western foreigners going to those countries with fluent Chinese or Japanese like yourself. One positive thing about all of this, is you’re the fun one that stands out and just your presence is a conversation starter to most! 😁
    7
  5766. What a fantastic feeling must be, by experiencing so many different cultures. One thing I learned: ACCEPTANCE/TOLERANCE!!!! How beautiful and perfect this world could be, if everyone would be exposed to this! Good job! Amazing shots! Keep uploading and keep illuminating us! Cristian/NYC

  5773. That is such an amazing life. Traveling, studying and teaching. I speak English, Mandarin and French (I am a Chinese Canadian) and I am planning to study and travel in Chinese, English and French speaking countries. I might learn Spanish as well because there are many Spanish speaking countries and it is relatively easy for me due to my French. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to teach English in China due to my Asian appearance.

  5777. I have been studying chinese by myself for almost a year, and it has been very hard to get immersed into it. I can't travel now, but I'm saving money because I want to go to China to study Chinese, you are such an inspiration, 谢谢 Anming ❤️

  5778. I love how they light up when they hear you speaking their native tongue. Such a joyous smile. Sub'ed.

  5779. Absolutely amazing what you have already seen! I'm ready to see you experience new things and hope that u will do this for a long time <3
    7
  5780. Oh wow! The unseen "dark" side of Osaka. The people there seemed pretty friendly and show loads of heart, even though they are considered "poor". It was heartwarming to see the interaction. People are people, and just want to be treated with respect and dignity. I wish them well! Tourist that don't know, end up going there, and it seems... ...ok?  Yea, undeniable it looks sketchy.   People gravitated due to the cheap stay, food? Not surprising since they don't know the "slum" moniker. Agreed, seemed pretty tame slum, coming from a US compared perspective. If many are old and aged out of work force... they're gonna have to have govt help... But the area can be revitalized with new investment. It's a major city... So looking at US California Los Angeles Downtown arts district as a blueprint what can happen.

  5783. Would you rather live in Japan or China? And is it hard learning those languages? Just curious because you are living the life I want soooo bad but I don’t know where to start🤔
    7
  5784. Oriental Pearl why u worry about what other ppl do? Just do ur thing.

  5787. i remember seeing Nagano from Paolo's video, so it's nice seeing him again :)
    7
  5788. Outstanding video! Would like to see more of this sort of thing alongside your normal content. Please be safe though. Wouldn't want you putting yourself at risk for views. Glad you had someone with you in this one. It's sad that Japan tries to hide this sort of thing away from the public, instead of actually trying to solve the issue and make things better for everyone.
    7
  5789. I liked how the first ones were about you, adapting at your own time to all these new things for you. I'm sorry about the ghosting though 🥺 you seemed so upset about it! 😔 and about fashion, when are we seeing Harajuku Oriental Pearl? 🤣 Thank you for sharing with us and keep it up 🙌🏽

  5790. Finally, mastering a language is to communicate with people. Jumping around the world, and have fun is a dream of any people. I understand your desire. ^^
    7
  5791. What a bitter sweet video, the candid reactions were a lot of fun, it's a shame to hear about the bullying. Just be excellent to each other, life is much more fun that way.

Thank you!!! You’ve brought me a piece of my fave place on earth. And your Japanese is awesome.

  5808. Anming: My wife and I were watching your new video. It's really good and I always enjoy watching you. It's so cool how you can switch between English, Chinese and Japanese immediately. I'm learning Spanish and if I have been speaking English all day, it takes a few minutes to get into the swing of a different language but you can do it instantly. Thanks for making your videos. I hope you and your husband are well. KB
    7
  5809. These scenes and communication made me smile, and I enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to more of your upcoming videos!
    7
  5810. damn i wish i have your confident

  5811. Their reaction when they knew you were actually fluent in chinese instead of knowing just a few words was hilarious

  5825. Im 21 and you’re an inspiration to me for learning languages! Thank you for all your videos
    7
  5826. Genuinely love seeing you interact with everyone in their native languages it’s so impressive. I speak a few languages but none of them confidently but watching you speak like this made me revisit language studies
    7
  5827. So glad someone is doing this. You see the videos of 'learn a language in a week bs' and it makes me angry. I am an English language teacher and I speak 3 languages and currently in Moscow and having a hard time with Russian. A week is not enough - you need years of serious study!
    7
  5828. At this point, should try learning your homecountry's language, Russian 😭

    7
  5831. It's good to see a video about Japan that shows some of the more troublesome aspects of life there that isn't talked about much. There's certainly no shortage of youtube videos about gaikokujin complaining about the negative parts of living in Japan, but so much of that is really focused on stuff that relates to the foreign experience in Japan, and not so much on the darker aspects of it experienced by native Japanese, such as this. I had the unfortunate experience of being in emotionally abusive workplace in Japan during my time there. It was hellish and humiliating, far worse than anything I experienced at home. My Japanese co-workers were like "Yeah, it sucks, but eh, I've worked worse jobs." A lot of my clients would often gripe about their jobs as well, either the ridiculous hours they put in, or just how their bosses were gigantic assholes (not that they said that, but I mean, that's what we'd call it here). They just kind of sucked it up and endured it for years, decades even, at the cost of their own and their family's mental health and happiness. That's certainly something people don't talk about publicly, just after work with people you know over beers and tempura.
    7
  5832. I love how everyone instantly smiles!

  5843. Second! Woahhhhh pakistanssss kooolll
    7
  5844. i really wanna learn Japanese, would you suggest learning Chinese first as Japanese has kanji which comes from Chinese....?
    7
  5845. I was curious how old you were when you started learning Chinese or Japanese. I've always wanted to learn another language, but sometimes it feels like I'm too old, it's too difficult now, or I just generally struggle to find motivation to study. But I would love to be able to travel one day, and I hate the idea of not learning at least a decent chunk of the native language before going. It just doesn't feel right to me to expect people to speak English, even if a lot of people do.
    7
  5846. Great video. Sad her kids cant attend normal Japanese school. Thanks for sharing on this topic.
    7
  5847. Plot twist is all of them wanted her to marry their unwed son/nephew

    7
  5850. This was such a sweet, wholesome video. Made me all warm n' fuzzy. Best of luck and happiness to the two of you! ❤️
    7
  5851. Damn seeing people speak another language makes me jealous because I can never learn and speak a different language.
    7
  5852. I love your videos. They are shook when hearing you. So funny.

I live in Kansas and have nobody to practice with :( the Chinese students at my university really don’t want to hang out with me so I’m slowly forgetting all that I leaned ... I’m not sure if they don’t like us or if they are scared of us or what it is all I know is they don’t want to have anything to do with me lol
    7
  5856. You two look so happy ! It was such a heartwarming video, I wish you two the best and I am looking forward to your next videos <3

    7
  5861. Hey, I really like your channel! I've found it fascinating the way you speak so fluently in Japanese and Chinese. The dogs were very cool in this video too! Im bi lingual myself, speaking English and Welsh ✌️ I hope to visit Japan one day. I'm a big fan of Gundam and the culture in general x
    7
  5862. I've seen Kill Bill a few times over the years, mostly when traveling. It's something special that's for sure lol
    7
  5863. Thank you so much for discussing this issue, Anming. It's a problem that I've come across trying to find another language to learn (my Spanish is conversational at best because U.S. high schools are terrible to learn languages in. 😅) It's so overwhelming with all the apps and programs that are out there. I keep hearing that the Pimsleur method is definitely more efficient than some other apps that are available. I'm leaning more towards that, as well as a robust way to learn at least 3 languages. I'd love to be able to speak in all the languages the world has, but that's so many. 😅Maybe if I was a secret agent or a vampire I could learn more than a handful of languages. (I'm still in the planning stage, I'll need to be able to dedicate time to at least one language first).
    7
  5864. Thank you for using your platform for change!

  5868. When I started class in New York, around 11-12 grade, some American kids are so disrespectful. I mean like my math teacher cares about my classmate sitting in front of me and she always asking why didn't he do his homework. Instead of saying sorry or I can't do it because I didn't understand it in a humble way, he just straight shout some nonsense (I'm not good picking up English at that time yet. So, I'll just call it nonsense) or sometimes she'll just ignore her. I mean he is not a kid anymore he is a teen already and if he needs help why not just go to after class free tutoring? I mean I'm not a native English speaker but I manage to go to math tutoring every Monday to Thursday. Lots of students here keep saying that the class was so hard but they never really think I feel the same way as they do. They've got an advantage here cause they have a free lunch here in New York, native English speaker, no need to have a uniform just to go get in public school, free public transportation and most of all the tutoring are free. So, if you messed up in a particular class you can made it up with your teacher. There's no need for them to say that the school is a crap because this they've got everything that most students around the world most probably don't. There is lots of thing I hate about the Philippines schooling system and Filipino personality of course but nonetheless I only met few that had no interest in school but if they were asked by a teacher to do as they've said they will still do it. No questions, they must. It's like what they've said is true? That there's always an Asian better than you? So, when I look back at my classmates who doesn't care about the class or teacher and disrespect them, I would just say it in my thoughts "dude, you have all the opportunities that other kids doesn't. It's not for the teachers sake, it's for your own benefits!". I really want to say that words to them but my English skills aren't that quite good. So, I just let it slide but now I had more knowledge about the language I might be able to say it in college if I got a chance to getting into one. Your scenario it's because you're teaching children and no matter where you go they're gonna be spoiled at a point. Children are fragile. So, you'll gonna take care of them as if you were holding your brand new phone. Be patient, I know you're doing your best and loved your job. Children is still exploring the ethics of life and you can't force it to them but an alternative you can inspire them. -Best luck of you Ms. (Name) Oriental Pearl! Sorry, I'm new to the channel😅

  5869. Coming soon 150k subs! By 200k you should have full time earning from patreon or gofundme or similar and sufficient ad money from you tube. Stary pushing a gofundme and maybe doing classes or teaching or writing conversations in another channel .? Happy christmas.

  5875. This guy must be super intresting to be around Loved the vid!! (Feel sorry for the cut out parts tho must have been some jucceyy stuff 😉)
    7
  5876. I loved this video! The conversations are definitely the best part. My husband speaks Mandarin from living in Taiwan for 3 years (30 years ago) and in our 28 years of marriage, I have seen MANY shocked reactions. My favorite is when the person keeps trying to speak to him in very broken English until they realize that he is a white guy that is actually speaking Mandarin. I started learning Japanese 2 years ago but came across your YouTube channel about one year ago and loved that you spoke both Chinese and Japanese. You helped me find Pimsleur which has helped tremendously to get me to actually practice speaking Japanese out loud. Now, my husband and I will be coming to Japan at the end of April and living in Kobe for 2 years. We are beyond excited! If you ever find yourself in the Kobe Chinatown, it would be so fun to meet up with you and have TWO people who can speak Chinese. :)

  5877. Good on Tommy for repping the Red Wings!

  5883. These interviews are always so interesting! It was sad to hear about Aliah's feelings of not belonging. I hope she has close friends that make her feel like she belongs!
    7
  5884. When I went to japan the first time, I went with my friend to visit her family who lives in a farming region. Whenever I would go to stores I could see the fear in the employees eyes before I even started speaking to them and when I would speak in Japanese, I loved to see the instant relief on their faces lol. Also when my friend would ditch me all of a sudden I could go up to her family and ask them where she was without having to worry about communication. Also best way to practice my Japanese.
    7
  5885. I love japanese people ♥️

  5891. Well, my father could speak five languages, but I can only speak English - for reasons of diplomacy, within an English speaking community, within living memory of WW2, he was sensitive about engaging me to speak German from an infant, wanting me to blend in. As it was, there was enough difficulty at school with just a Germanic name! I often wish that I could be multi-lingual. To an extent, I believe that being borderline dyslexic when stressed - which is too easily accomplished when one is Aspie - has something to do with an ineptitude towards trying to speak in a different language now - being 60 - than I am comfortable with. Who knows how different it may have been had my father decided to make me stand out more by teaching me to, at least, be bi-lingual? Being multi-lingual was a natural part of living where he was brought up, Sighisoara, as the languages were being used all round him. I find that the more communication is enabled the better and have nothing but admiration for those that can do it. Barriers that can be pierced - and the arrogances that can come with them - should be. My father believed that all have far more in common than divides us.

  5893. As a pluviophile, I think I would actually quite like a rainy wedding day, especially leaving the church to be surrounded by the petrichor. Congratulations to you both! I wish you both all the best on your upcoming adventures. P.s It's also very interesting to hear about some of the cultural differences pertaining to weddings.

  5894. The staring has been something that I’m having trouble getting used to. Been living in Japan for only a month, but it’s definitely hard not to feel self conscious when all these eyes are glancing my way.

    7
  5898. You should see all the beaches and mountains of the Philippines.Siargao,El Nido,Coron,Boracay,Bohol among other stuffs.You will spend less if you have a native person with you.And the people speaks english something that Japan doesnt have.

  5900. I talk to strangers all the time. But I often find they can’t be bothered to reciprocate. It’s usually a one sided conversation. I need to try it in Japan... they seem a lot friendlier.

  5902. We definitely don't say it unless it's true. My favorite time was when this coworker asked where I learned english. I pointed at the hospital, "I started learning there." "Oh were you a doctor?" "... I was a ... baby"

  5907. I remember when I was going into my very first year of high school here in america I saw that the school offered chinese (mandarin and cantonese) as an elective class that you could enroll into and take. I was very fortunate enough to have such an opportunity and immediately enrolled to take all four years of chinese language class. It was hands down my most favorite and loved class to attend as it was something I was genuinely passionate and determined to learn. It's truly a shame that the bigger schools in bigger cities like tokyo have that bad policy of not allowing teachers to engage more with their students and it comes off as disconnecting and robotic. To have that extra engagement and getting to know your teachers really helps so much in the learning process more than I can express. My chinese teacher was very laid back, awesome, and overall just a cool person to talk to about all sorts of nerd stuff and chinese culture as a whole. Whenever anyone had trouble with traditional characters or pronunciation he would take time to help people one on one and was extremely patient with folks learning speed. He commanded great respect in the classroom from everyone and when he had to get serious and firm he'd do it and explained to us that it was time to stop goofing off and focus and learn so we can understand the material at hand. He was genuinely a great teacher and I can attest that what pearl says is true. When teachers engage more with their students, get to know them more and put more personal investment as a whole into helping their students learn another language it just hits differently and helps you as the student in the long term. Sadly my lao-shi had to retire and I still thank him to this day for all that he taught me and for never giving up on me and kept helping me to learn chinese. I'm very much looking forward to the day soon when I go to japan myself to attend language school and keep working hard on and learning and improving my japanese language skills.

  5910. I am super excited actually. You are such a lovely couple and it would be great to live your life a little 😻Its always the personal stuff that gets to me. I am sure your channel would become huge if you showed the pair of you interacting and discussing Japan vs USA etc.

  5914. Very different from your normal type of video but just as informative, if not more so. Once again this reinforces the idea of how safe Japan is, especially compared to any big US city. 👍

  5915. That rising tone at 2:12 sounds like a Japanese commercial. (Based on The Simpsons' Mr. Sparkle episode. It's the only one I know).

  5916. As a tourist in Japan and having been in both Osaka and Kyoto in 2018, I was unaware of this issue. I can't recall seeing the concentration of impoverished peoples in those cities. If I did, I did what most people do and looked past it, as simply a run down part of town waiting to be cleaned up. Having watched your series on Japan's homeless population, I became aware that I was one of those tourists who didn't understand what they were exactly seeing. Since you educated me, on subsequent Japanese trips I recognize the signs of homeless habitation. What had previously been invisible, is now obvious. Governments in every country go through stages of ignoring and trying to contain these issues. They do the bare minimum until their city is going to hold an event, and then they try to present a glowing facade to visitors, by razing slum areas. Displacing and dispersing the former residents. Gentrifying the slum area's so it is suitable for new business's to occupy. Every country has issues with the a subset of their population, whom for a myriad reasons end up homeless and in poverty. Japan has just done a better job of disguising the problem. For some the issues can be resolved by providing suitable accommodation, opportunities, and motivation. For others with mental health, addiction problems, there are no easy fixes. Your reporting on this issue begs the question now that their former communities no longer exist, where have former residents gone. Have they been helped, or has the government just recreated and hidden, the undesirables in a less visible location. As always a well reported and explained video by yourself with Robin's assistance. I followed your suggestion and made a donation in the Oriental Pearls Channel name to Kingdom Builders. I hope some of your other viewers choose to make the same choice.

  5919. Just the whole polyglot thing... blech. My Spanish teacher asked me, "oh, tú eres polígloto?" and upon that term leaving her lips I had to fight down the cringe as I responded, "no sé, maybe?" No matter what the definition of that word is, I do not want to ever be associated with it.

  5920. Thank you for the nice video. I appreciate being able to see other countries and the people who live there. Give Tommy lots of hugs…he seemed sad that he missed out!

  5927. Hi Anming, I was in awe this was happening in Japan! But I guess this is prevalent all over the world. I'm not sure you might have given this some thought, but what about investigative reporting on cultural issues? What do Japanese people think about world issues? Your reporting about the homeless was GREAT!

  5928. I love how you light up every activity. Everybody is drawn to you because you're awesome personality and beauty. You're definitely an amazing young lady and so is your mother. Waiting for more videos to come. I love your videos.

  5941. Great video! It's definitely easier to get into universities as a foreigner in Asian countries. I studied in Busan, South Korea and they have discounts for foreigners and special application criteria whereas it's so competitive for koreans. They are usually screaming out for diversity so will usually accept you. I find scholarships can be hard to get these days though because everyone seems to want to study in korea cos of kpop...
    7
  5942. @oriental Pearl Have You thought of showing some of the lesser-known neighborhoods in Tokyo? Every vlogger seems to show the same most popular neighborhoods all the time like Shinjuku, Akihabara etc I always had a lot of fun going to the lesser known hoods stuff that is not written about in tourist books and just exploring. Sometimes the locals will really tell you cool stuff. They don't have to be secret neighborhoods just less visited neighborhoods. Places like Yanesen because everyone assumes it is residential only, or yanaka ginza gets overlooked for some reason. Ueno had some really interesting little neighborhoods when I was there that nobody talks about
    7
  5943. Your Japanese friends didn't get it that you were so enthused about a Bambo forest, but you should see their enthusiasum when they come to Germany and see all the Pine trees. 😉 Taking things we are used to for granted is international.

  5944. Loved this video so much! The docu-vlog style was refreshing and the dogs are adorable. Happiness truly is the only meaning in life! Also, your outfit is so pretty and that shot of you with the flowers was serving disney princess 😭💕
    7
  5945. I'm sure you've said before but I don't remember it. Did you ever take any language classes at all in high school in America? This is so cool and inspiring to see you out and interacting with so many people. Thank you so much for all your work on all your videos! :)

  5952. Lol I love how effortlessly you switch between Chinese and Japanese.
    7
  5953. Wow, I really enjoyed your discussion here, and greatly admire both of you for your fluency in Mandarin Chinese! As a native speaker of Hindi and English, and someone who is fluent in Korean (I am a professional translator), I am learning Japanese, and even though there are a lot of similarities in terms of nouns sounding similar between Korean and Japanese, the kanji constitute a battlefield of their own. It's nice to have someone trying to counter the misinformation and predatory tactics that some "language gurus" will employ to try and sell people on their miracle language learning programmes, and for the most part I agree with your view that language learning is hard and requires hours and hours of hard work both regularly and consistently.
    7
  5954. That was so much fun! I wondered what was going to happen once I heard it was cancelled in Shibuya. People will make it a fun time regardless, you can't stop Halloween in Shibuya! I absolutely loved your matching Dragonball Z costumes with Tommy. Not only that but finding Frieza and having a duel. The effects you made with your battles had me laughing. 😂That was very nice of you to hand out Tokyo Treat and Sakuraco treats, they looked delicious. It's so cool lots of people still dressed up. Japan definitely knows how to do Halloween! Happy Halloween 🎃🧡
    7
  5955. I think we are just human beings!!! Things like nationality just make us fight for something that's not logical! We live in a global world, if you can go to another country in a few hours, so why is the problem if you learn and use another culture? Learn another culture don't mean you forgot you own culture. It's an addition and turns people more receptive and understanding! We must hate less and love and to respect more. Thank you for share all this culture and made this world better!!!
    7
  5956. I wish you both a happy new life together. After the war, many japanese spirits went to the US, and many Americans spirits went to Japan to start a new carnal life, as Americans or as Japanese in reverse. That’s the way it works, when it comes to nation versus nation.

  5969. So great you're doing this! Xiaomanyc has become a YouTube star for his chinese speaking videos and has developed a massive following. I think this will be your path too! Arieh Smith, a.k.a. Xiaomany, has a great personality and I think that is the real key to his success, the same can be said for you. You have a gentle yet humorous personality. You exude depth, character and a talent with languages! What an inspiration for people! I wish you fantastic success on your YouTube videos/adventures

  5970. I've been studying for two years (year 7 and 8) to prepare for the year 10 or 11 (depending on what year the italian class goes to italy) Japanese trip. I've only learnt the Katakana and Hiragana alphabet, some greetings, how to say and write names and most numbers numbers (Around to 1,000 is what I can do so far since its really easy) but year 9 is the year we have to learn grammer and form proper sentences, I'm excited

  5971. “IDK I’m a YouTuber yeah, what’s up?!” Oriental Pearl

  5972. It's so inspiring to hear other talk about the hard work they put into learning a foreign language. I hear so often from strangers that "oh, I could never learn a language like that", or "you're so lucky that you're good at languages", but they don't see the hours that are poured into learning vocabulary and grammar, practicing with natives, refining pronunciation... I just started learning Chinese, and I hope one day I can become as good at it as you are!
    7
  5973. "...and this is Germany. They like to drink beer and sausages" Man! On the spot, so adorable 🤣
    7
  5974. 51k subscribers?!?! I remember watching one of your videos about three months ago and I don't think you had as many as you do now. You blew up! I'm sure you'll have a million soon since you always post such great videos plus it's so unique and cool to see someone who you'd never guess speak Chinese and Japanese as fluent as you do.
    7
  5975. You are very intelligent.
    7
  5976. Nice, entertainig, fast, interesting. Love the fast forward winding and love the music. Thank you for doing this video. About adapting: I think it is the other way around Anming: you change the environment and you dont adapt to it, you causatively arrange it so it works for you. I can see that you are cause all the way. You still live. Luckily, so we see some more videos of yours. :) Much Love, Yves

  5987. This is so interesting and informative video for the students who wanna to study in Japan like me ✋😊 The teachers are so serious and I think this is the main reason why students are so disciplined :)

  5988. I’m soooo jealous. I’m finally fluent in korean after learning it for 5 years. And you can speak Japanese after living in Japan for only 2 years. Damnnn SOO coolll

  5991. The secret is out on YouTube. For the record I was a subscriber at the 6,000 mark. This was an aweosme video. I've been so busy at work and it takes me awhile to catch up on videos. Happy to see how great you are doing. It's fantastic that so many people enjoy your videos. Be well!! Dan Dahill

  5992. Interesting to see foreigner interaction with kids in Japan vs China。 When you have the opportunity, please visit Taiwan; it has a Mandarin-speaking Chinese culture, with significant Japanese and Western influences。
    7
  5993. so I'll be that guy in the room. speaking 2 or 3 languages well is probably a worthwhile effort. HOWEVER, that all depends upon your goals in life. Will you move to another country and live/work there? Do you already live in an country where it is quite common to interact with people speaking multiple languages? Would speaking another language enhance your career in your chosen profession in the place you want to live....not some hypothetical thing where ...well if I moved here and did this or that. If you want to be a professional translator or a language teacher (or apparently a YTer fooling people into thinking you know 10 languages fluently) then ok...there is a reason. However..... there is only so much time in a day, a week, a year.......a decade. What other opportunities are you giving up by spending all your time for years learning language after language simply to show off at parties or get likes on social media? There are places where....even learning a second language just isn't particularly high on the list of things which can greatly impact your life. People from the US catch shit from europeans non-stop about the fact that the majority of people here only speak english. However..... they only see the world through their own lens. If you live in Switzerland.....and you catch a flight and flying two hours north, or south, or east or west....how many different countries can you travel to and each speak their own language? Quite a few. In the US, if you catch a flight from San Diego and fly to Boston, (this is not even CLOSE to the furthest distance in the 48 contiguous states..... your flight will take about 5.5 hours. So... Lets take a flight from Lisbon and draw an arch across europe that is the radius of a 5.5 hour flight. Holy cow...how many different countries will you potentially cross? My point is that there is far less of a reason to learn another language in the US based on nothing more than geography and the languages you'd encounter. A person in the US can literally live years without hearing a person speak another language even if they often fly around the US. It is not simply a matter of bad education. If the entirety of europe spoke only French....i HIGHLY doubt that even 1/10th as many people in europe would know any language other than french. However, some people like to believe they are much smarter based on country of origin rather than individual factors and they completely ignore any valid points that offer an explanation that runs counter to their desired belief of their own superiority. all done...you can flame me now, lol

  5994. The village is incredible! When I saw it it thought immediately of Hinamizawa. Also, am I the only one who feels like he is always looking at his phone? I felt a bit uncomfortable to watch him behave like that when he has such a pretty girl near him :D
    7
  5995. It feels especially weird to be a black guy in Japan lmao. I was drawing in public, and a kid came up to me and just looked at me for a bit before asking to see my drawing. I even ended up giving the drawing to her.
    7
  5996. I need my ears cleaned my right ear is clogged this seems like the perfect place to go to to remove ear wax unfortunately I'm not in Japan right now
    7
  5997. Then: Quality vs Quantity. Nobody needs to learn a language for increase a number.
    7
  5998. Interesting but this seems predicated on the assumption that the Anime industry could not possibly be profitable if they paid their artists fairly. Is that true?
    7
  5999. I only used apps when I was thinking I could get fluent on Duolingo two years ago. It didn’t help me get fluent but it helped me understand Kana, Sentence Structure, and how to read kanji. I started using HelloTalk and I made friends with a Foreign Japanese student at my school. Then I started watching videos like these and bought text books almost every month and then I went to Japan for the first time and had to only speak Japanese to my mom and others for the whole week. Apps don’t make you fluent but it helps you understand and if you just want to learn how to go around and not doing what you do. I’m not disagreeing but it is beneficial when people can’t go to Japan or for some reason can’t use apps that help you speak to locals.

  6009. Anming is literally the most respected language YouTuber of mine. Others are fun to watch as well, of course, but what Anming opines about language learning, I take to heart. You do not learn Japanese and Chinese like her without being an absolute professional, dedicated to her craft. Plus, she has a wonderful way of thinking and talking, and even reads her Bible. This Anming person is basically my favorite person on YouTube.
    7
  6010. Ah found another (great) one I’ve missed. Gotta love the recommended part of youtube. Really liked these tips. I started a Japanese lesson today. A really basic one but a very great introduction. Not that I achieve to be super saiyan fluent but I want to manage a bit when I’ll be able to go to Japan. I’m also very interested in learning Chinese so...all on the age of 38. Challenging times. :)

  6011. Great news! Safe travels and have fun!
    7
  6012. She is so super cute and talented too❤ I love when you interact with others and we get to see all the fun😊👍 **I always appreciate the diversity of the people you interact with. Living with and adapting to life, while having a disability is close to my heart. All of my children have multiple disabilities.❤

  6014. Your forgetting your audience are foreigners we used to things like that 😂😂
    7
  6015. You can study for years, but it will never prepare you for his kind of spontaneous interaction. You need to go to the country, and just listen and attempt to speak. You will start off awful, no matter how much you studied, but necessity will help you improve :D
    7
  6016. Shes the best speaker I've seen so far, alot of videos people only speak the very basics
    7
  6017. I'm crying cause this is exactly how my aunt, my cousin, and her husband reacted when they visited us in Bay Area, California from Japan! We took them to their first Warriors game, Giants game, Sharks game, 49er game, their first In-n-Out Burger, first legit Mexican food, first legit BBQ in Santa Cruz, first jazz band concert in San Jose, and the obvious iconic tourist places to visit (Facebook, Google, Apple, Golden Gate, Ghirardelli). It was so fun seeing their eyes sparkle at every place we went and all the people we met along the way that were able to make their first visit to America so much more memorable! I'm so happy to see Tommy got the same experience and you can totally see how happy he was!

  6018. One more thing. Japanese spaghetti. I lived in Tokyo for a long time. This pasta is the best on earth.
    7
  6019. Pretty profound you are mastering not only a 3rd language (considered by many including myself significantly more challenging than Chinese for English speakers) and also working in Tokyo using that language to market to Japanese people. I think you are officially a ninja warriors. Ganbatte! Thank you for sharing your adventures. And yes more work life content - it's amazing!
    7
  6020. Hey good advice Ann. I always fear about injuries so hopefully you added it to travel insurance as you might not get help from local healthcare. Stranded abroad when coronavirus hit must have been really stressful. Well done in persevering!

  6021. That was a great video. Your mother is so cute! What a nice holiday in Japan for her. Hope you enjoy your visit back in America. I can’t wait to see the continuation, part 2. thank you for sharing🙋🏾‍♀️.

  6022. Everyday conversation, I'm not sure why I find that so entertaining, but I do. Here's a question. In the videos you've posted of you at home, you seemed to have a different way of dressing. To me, when you're at home (in the U.S.), you seem to dress like every other American ....very casual. On the other hand, when you're in Japan or China you seem to dress-up more. Is that me or is that something that actually happens?

  6023. After watching this, Pearl, I am 'finish" learning Finnish!

  6024. I'm so happy for you! 100k plaque coming soon. Your content is quickly becoming some of my favorite. There's no travel blog so intimate around Tokyo (Hopefully soon Shanghai or another city) like this. We get to see how Chinese immigrants live and work in Japan with commentary on cultural differences. I love listening for the pronounciations and tonal differences of both languages and comparing it between all these these speakers. Through your blog, I learned I like the sound of Mandarin above all the Asian languages and probably would want to learn that one first. Also, the novelty of a Westerner speaking Mandarin fluently has not wore off. Th novelty of their reaction will take a while to wear off. You're also a great ambassador for the U.S, keeping up with international relations 😆 Keep up the good work!!

  6025. At this point you are my Depression Cure 💝

  6026. I really enjoy your videos. I'm bad at cooking and you're right I don't put any effort to learn and my mom is so good at it, I think that, for today, my Japanese lessons can wait and I should go downstairs and help my mom and grandma with the cooking. D:! The last time I overcooked the rice xD

  6031. 7:51 Lmao I miss heard this a “Really” in Korean.😂 Ack I want to learn Korean and I’m picking it up from music, dramas, and even interviews. I remember words and I can translate it in my head, it’s pretty cool.

  6032. I hit the subscribe button and you are not cheesy! Thanks for inspiring me to learn Japanese! Keep making videos because your genuine. You should think about starting a patreon page.

  6033. "you have a boyfriend?" "I have a husband". That part killed me. lol it was so funny!

  6034. Watching this makes me want to do archery again. It was my favorite part of P.E. in middle and high school. I have to look into it and see if there's an archery club where I live, here in western Japan.

  6035. 2 of my fave Japan vloggers, nice to see you together.
    7
  6036. Thank you for being persistent to keep us so happy. I laugh every time !
    7
  6037. Yeah i'm still watching! You really are inspiring. I'm studying, getting frustrated many many times, but like you said just keep going!

  6038. I think people being friendlier in the country side as opposed to big cities is the norm in a lot of places. It's like that in the US too. As an American and Japanese hafu, I had a very strange experience when I was in 2nd grade going to a Japanese school in Tokyo. The teacher was teaching the class basic English words (which obviously I knew). She knew I spoke English and wanted me to correct her if she mispronounced or misspelled any words.
    7
  6039. it was my birthday when you posted his 😅 I've been learning basic japanese words, and i've been trying to learse since I was 10-11 years old, I only know the basics though
    7
  6040. When I got to Korea I loved the subway, even when it was crowded. I also just wanted to buy all the clothes i could😂
    7
  6041. I love your energy and the way you can connect with others! ❤You can just say hello or start a conversation, I’m like that also but depends where I am or if people are friendly! Sometimes can be awkward but others very rewarding!❤
    7
  6042. Up late here and luckily caught your latest. Now I can head off to the land of Nod in a more cheerful mood. Truly your efforts are not only informative and interesting but the best antidepressant there is. Thanks lovely lady.
    7
  6043. This is so true! Way too many think they can learn a language by staring at an app on their phone - you need natural experiences with real people. Children don't learn from Duolingo, why should you?
    7
  6044. Love it! I am so fascinated to learn the daily culture you interact in while living in Japan!!

  6045. Congratulations to you both. I wish the best for you now and always. Sending my love and respect, from Pennsylvania in the U.S.A.

  6048. Love your videos!! You are my inspiration❤

  6049. I started watching these videos last October! Trying to improve my mandarin listening. You just seem so genuine and smart!

  6050. Well, you ended up doing what you enjoy. That's always the best.

  6051. Our first stop when visiting the US from the UK was to visit an American, 50's style, diner. I went very movie culture by having a burger and a root beer. Also I brought Baby ruths and Hershey's chocolate, very disappointing after growing up on Cadbury's. After British house's I really understood Tommy's reaction though. I also found the small towns so open and the people in them so friendly. Tommy has wonderful memories to take home and video evidence to show his friends and family😁

  6052. In 1954 as a child of 4 I lived over in Japan, I had platinum blonde hair and blue eyes and we lived in Okayama. The Japanese people would follow my parents and I and touch my hair with a look of wonderment on their face. They called out Kimpotsu (I am sure the spelling is wrong) and my dad said that meant blonde. I was always stared at. When we went back to visit our friends in 1965 I was a teen still with blonde hair and I was mistaken for Sylvie Vartan (a French singer) lots of stares and comments.
    7
  6053. Your Chinese is so good I am impressed Americans usually are bad in second language they assume we all speak English. Respect to you I was a spanish teacher in China so respect. Cannot wait to hear your Japanese
    7
  6054. Oriental Pearl I think people are enthralled by any activity that seems like it requires superhuman ability. Not only polyglots but street musicians, skateboarders, parkour, breakdancers, et al. We know intellectually that those performers got so good through many hours of study. But, they make it look so easy that it appears that they were born with those abilities. That is most everyone’s superhero fantasy. Power bestowed without personal effort.
    7
  6055. Don't give up! Looking forward to your next adventure.
    7
  6056. Wow, very nice day, well done. Beautiful dress!! You both looked so good. Wishing you the best for your future together. I just started following you a month ago and so happy to have discovered your content. So excited to see how you guys build a life together. Many, many congratulations and best wishes!!
    7
  6057. I saw one of your Japanese videos first and didn't realise you also spoke Chinese. That's incredibly impressive and also motivational. I hope others can learn to just display their skills in a positive manner and reach an audience that way.
    7
  6058. that is really strange, taking a picture of someone you don´t know from vacation. anyhow, your channel is awesome
    7
  6059. Some people feel very protective of their own traditional culture and therefore make it exclusive. I think that is sad. Jessica is showing her love of Japanese culture by embracing it, she takes it seriously. I hope others take her example and do the same.

  6062. I'm Japanese. Japanese. "Be-goma" is not something that children do these days. Be-goma is a Koma for fighting, so the basic rule is to spin it more violently. In the old days, children used to customize the weight to be lower and heavier by themselves.

  6063. Congrats. So many people would love to find the person to spend the rest of their life with, yours is truely a unique story. I hope the two of you live happily ever after.

  6064. American communication culture which I don’t like is that they have social pressure onto each other so that nobody can say anything negative. They are so obsessed with converting anything negative into positive in their conversations like, for example. ‘ Poverty makes you humble in best way and notice your true sense of value in your life.” Poverty is bad thing originally but when they see somebody poor, they are always obsessed with covering up the negativity in your life you have to face right directly without those fake positive attitudes and words. Another American culture of conversation I don’t like is that they use too many supreme expressions like ‘ You are the best’ You are the most beautiful. or whatever. How many best friends do they have for example? All of their friends are their bests friends but they have no best friend in fact.

  6067. It's truly inspiring that you make such a great effort to talk to people and break the culture barrier. I plan to be the same way when I go to Japan.

  6068. Such a great video. It's good to see a less than touristy side of Japan. The people seemed normal. Bad reputation of an area that was no more. Thank you.

  6069. I liked your comment about being on the middle. I am a US citizen teaching Japanese and Chinese for a living in Japan. I sometimes feel pulled in three.

  6073. I loved the message in this vid. I've just finished first level Korean on Pimsleur, definitely the last few lessons went over my head a bit so I'm refreshing before I move onto the next level. I love how you're constantly assumed Russian 😆, I have similar problems as I'm super pale with dark hair everyone assumes I'm Scottish 😅

  6079. How many languages does one have to know to be a polyglot? I came across this word for the first time via through this video. Please help me with this. I am fluent in reading, writing understanding and speaking in 3 languages, English Hindi Marathi, I can fully understand and speak Telugu but I can't read and write in it. I am learning German and Dutch. I am at intermediate level in German. How many languages should I be fluent at to be a polyglot.
    6
  6080. You're such a cutie. Your laugh is contagious.
    6
  6081. This looks delicious! It reminds me of having breakfast in South Korea. We would have a tofu based soup, some rice, and many banchan- strangely, one of my favorites was this dish that was made with dried anchovies and fish cakes, and acorn jelly salad. To Americans, it would be like a dinner, but it was designed to keep you full and healthy. That soup looks so good today! I wish there were more options like this in the American Midwest. Thank you for sharing your experiences! 加油！^^
    6
  6082. It's always fun to see how caught off guard people are to see a foreigner who knows their language. I never thought it would be such a novelty. Seeing people that are so genuinely appreciative that a foreigner would learn their language encourages me to keep up my own studying.
    6
  6083. 2:30 5 sec rule, that's fine.

  6084. Great video 👍. I’ve seen footage of the tsunami. It’s hard to watch. I know if I had been there & experienced it firsthand I would’ve been frozen with fear. That is a cool & fun idea for a restaurant. I’m gonna steal that idea 🤣. You had to be a Hobbit to comfortably make your way through that cave. Glad you all wore helmets ⛑👍😃.
    6
  6085. Hey! Can you do a video where you explain how to start living in Japan? I mean should i go to a Japanese School before or take a job? And i don’t know where to start 😅 I'm afraid of becoming homeless there haha
    6
  6086. Constant fun! Thank you for another great video!
    6
  6087. Reminds me of how we treat bushfires in Australia hahaha. Main concern is 'is the freeway closed?'
    6
  6088. honestly, i follow you for the Japanese content! thanks!
    6
  6089. This is getting crazy. I'm binge watching all these videos during work, after work, during my lunch break. Your personality is magnetic. Great job on the videos and the editing. Thank you for being such a kind human being
    6
  6090. If you grew up in Southern California, you would develop the same attitude towards earthquakes as the Japanese. Anything under a 7 is very mundane, and we just carry on our normal business.
    6
  6091. Thank you for showing this part of Japan. People have a really romantic view of so many cities/countries across the world and forget that almost everywhere has these areas. I’m sorry you had to be treated the way you did though
    6
  6092. Wow you’re the 2nd YouTuber who knows Japanese that went to Akira and gave us a snippet of a different language school atmosphere. That looks fun & you get to know the people there as you mentioned & Japanese people living in that beautiful city. I love that you showed the difference of Akira compare to the other school you went to that you were mentioning. As someone who doesn’t mind strict teachers but like the challenge, I don’t know if I can survive no drinking water for a hour and a half 😅 As a friend says I’m a fish I need to drink water very often.
    6
  6093. Thanks to your videos I've been learning about the country! At the age of 13, I fell in love with it and I hope to go travel and study to Japan to study the language. I'm very amazed that you live in Tokyo and you're feeling like at home (I think), even though it's a different country. I hope to go study there when I finish high school (I live in Belgium).

  6094. "Your parents must be lonely" must be the cutest most japanese mom thing ever said
    6
  6095. Interesting thoughts. I can speak/read/write 3 human languages fluently (working on my 4th). I can also code in 8 computer languages at an expert level. Aside from my primary human language (English), all of that is self-taught. Then again, I also spent over 20 years as an engineer but I dropped out of high school my junior year and never went back to school. I guess the experience is different for everyone. A guy I used to work with once told me, "You're a jack of all trades, master of none." My response was, "I'm a master of many trades, not just one."

  6096. This was an enjoyable video! Thanks for taking us on a tour of your day!

  6097. Anming, you inspire others to educate themselves and learn something new, I love your content and as long as you love what you're doing nothing else matters, you're awesome keep it up!

  6098. It's always good if you speak several languages, then you can have a better conversation. I'm Dutch and speak German, English, Danish, Swedish and some Indonesian because my mother was born there. but she is also Dutch. It's great how well you speak these languages. I'm currently learning Spanish because we're going on vacation soon. PS: i subscribet:hand-pink-waving:

  6101. and still the streets stay clean. incredible!

  6102. Thank you for another great video. I just finished a summer job as a Leader for groups of Japanese students (there was a Chinese group, but they couldn't make it), and it was a dream job. I got to work on my Japanese, make friends from all around Japan, and show them what Vancouver and the surrounding area has to offer. We even got a free week of Japanese lessons! All the agents and students were really kind, and were really impressed with my Japanese (and height, of course 😂) to the point that one of the agents started talking to me a lot in Japanese (I could understand what she said most of the time, but I can hardly form sentences, so it was interesting). I felt really encouraged, and it forced me to talk to people and get out of some of my comfort zones. It was a beautiful experience. I'm so grateful for all of the culture they shared. Rambling aside, that, combined with your videos, have helped me stay determined with my plan to go to Japan. Thank you :)

  6103. Hi I randomly discovered this channel, so you work at japanesepod101 ? I am studying japanese there for almost 1 1/2 years and I love it :) , I am a premium member there where can I find your content there? And it would be awesome if you could get Naomi-sensei, Peter-sensei or all the other awesome hosts and voice actors that work there on a video, like a meet and greet in the studio for their listeners. All the people that work on japanesepod101 are awesome and I really really enjoy all the lessons. Greetings from Germany

  6104. Thank you, Anming! As someone trying to learn Japanese, I appreciate your insights. Japanese grammar and vocabulary can be difficult to learn for English speakers, but I will keep trying. Your videos are inspiring! あリガとございました。

  6105. Hey I knew her 107,000 subscribers ago so back off everyone!!! Kidding....she is a much needed voice in a chaotic world. We all love you OP.

  6107. So wholesome 🥰. As usual I’m impressed by your ability to strike up convos so naturally and connect 🥲

  6109. 你说中文很好听，娇滴滴，很甜美。

  6110. Great to see how friendly people were when you strike conversations with them.

  6111. Thanks for the description about “friends”. I had a Japanese friend for 27 years. I went to her wedding in the US 2 weeks after September 11! She came to Australia (where I live) for a conference and then said she didn’t have wifi and then ghosted me and blocked me on LinkedIn.
    6
  6112. I speaks Chinese and currently I'm studying English, Japanese and Korean because your videos give me much motivation of learning languages! Thank you, Anming! It's nice to get to know you on YouTube!

  6113. Looks like so much fun out there
    6
  6114. i live in Kagoshima but i remember my dad used to bring me to Okinawa during summer i really had a great fun there and he used to tell me a lot about my grandfather who was stationed in the Phillipines during WW2 and he used to say that the sunset in the Philippines is the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. I wish i could go there and experience this amazing beauty of the Philippines just like may grandfather did. I just feel sorry for the Filipinos who were tortured/ killed during the war. 本当にごめんなさい

  6115. Im impressedhwo much you have learned and still going hard at it! Enjoy the stay!

  6116. The way Tommy was walking around the house with his hands on his hips killed me 🤣

  6117. I love when people just changed when they speak their native or second language, it just turn into different personalities 😀
    6
  6118. I started being interested in Japanese because of Anime 😊☺
    6
  6119. My cousin also worked for Toei animation as an in between animator, he would certainly confirm that it's completely true, but he loves it and he now does high quality art commissions that enables him to afford his Gundam kit collection on the side. It also helps that he lives in the Philippines, where that similar amount of pay puts his salary range around what an office worker would make there, iirc.
    6
  6120. I like the occasional change from your usual format. I know it’s not easy to find the people to be interviewed. Well done Pearl on achieving 1M subscribers. Hope you would not mind showing us your gold plague in a special episode of your journey of learning Asian Languages from China to Japan and to Korea and finally settling down in Japan. Congratulations!
    6
  6121. Im so excited for you! I dont know how you do it haha
    6
  6122. ah yes, i love going to japan just to go to a chinese book store to find a book talking to people in chinese and then ending up buying an american book translated from english to chinese
    6
  6123. I didn't know (and it's been a while) that there were guys doing Nampa at Starbucks... 🤔
    6
  6124. I’ve always had a lot of respect for the Asians. I would not mind opening myself up to learn difficult skills.not to mention the culture, morals ,etc. are all sophisticated and tends to have richness and strong manners along with it. I love it. I could be wrong about Japan in person. But everything I hear and see begs me to differ. Even the language gathers my attention. The cherry blossoms. Swordsmanship, the food and all the neat activities as well. Can’t wait to go one day.
    6
  6125. The clapping stayed so on beat during the singing - I am so used to groups of people rushing when they clap, so good job everyone!

  6126. When the ear wax is that bad, I think you should get a nurse to flush the ear for you. Drip some olive oil into the ear once or twice a day before the flushing, so that it get to soften a bit before the flushing.

  6127. As a native Chinese speaker, BRO, you GOT THEM SKILLLLLLL applaud

  6128. The "Kill Bill" outfit is perfect for you, with your long blonde hair! Next year find somebody with a Gogo Yubari costume to duel with.

  6129. 4:17 that ringtone omg i never heard that almost 6yrs... Wow... Hahaha
    6
  6130. Haha I love all of their reactions!
    6
  6131. It's certainly an eye opening experience for many outsiders who aren't aware that Japan have slums. I've stayed in this area twice in an inn just 5 minutes walk from Minami-Senju station. It was a nice inn, very clean, and cost much more than 2,250 yen a night. I didn't know any better back then, but could see that the area is run down vs other areas like Taito, Shibuya, Shinjuku and certainly Poles apart from Minato.
    6
  6132. Smart lady keeping your go pro handy for this footage! I’ve never experienced an earthquake before, I bet the first time is really a different experience but I suppose if you’re a child growing up you just normalize it somewhat and learn to live with it right? It’s definitely a culture shock to me though. You summarized my thoughts with “It’s just an earthquake?!” 😨
    6
  6133. damn you had a really good time with that guy riding u guys around 😂😂😂
    6
  6134. Muah, much love towards you oriental pearl. This video is very interesting and it help me relax and confident you have to be.👄
    6
  6135. i really like your video's. I started with Chris Broad's channel and I've been studying Japanese (not as much and i should or would like too.. self discipline issues heh). I've only recently found your videos and i've liked each of them a lot. I guess im saying keep it up and i look forward to the next.
    6
  6136. Oh my, this takes me back to my childhood when I used to go to the karate course. Even I passed to the I think 9th kyu (white belt with yellow ends) but that was my biggest achievement :D Later on I quit and focused myself to other things...
    6
  6137. If your husband was worried, there probably was good reason for him to feel that way. I once owned a loft (quite a few years ago and not in Japan). Lofts were generally in older industrial areas. During the day it was fine, but at night...well, let's just say that I moved a year later. It wasn't the worst place in the city, but it definitely wasn't the best and now it has been completely gentrified. I wonder where they put all the homeless? Goes to show that every country has their dirty little secrets. Thanks for the insight. You are brave to be going into these areas to show us a different side of Japan that most people don't realize exists.
    6
  6138. You can really talk to such shy japanese and make friends with.
    6
  6139. its so good so many people took you on and chatted in various languages,Travelling Japan in recent times with my family there were so many studying English who would come and sit with our family and interact just to speak a little English with us,Beautiful people.
    6
  6140. Oriental Pearl I loved it. I felt like a movie star! 🥰
    6
  6141. I love the variety of environments and the inside look at the nature of Japan in your videos. Looking forward to seeing the next one.
    6
  6142. So that’s how beyblade happened 🤯

  6143. Great job on the Korean. It takes guts to try your new language the first few times outside of a classroom environment.

  6144. If I didn’t like it I would have a hard time keeping the expression off of my face my daughter likes seaweed and kimchi I’ve never tried either one

  6146. For me the saddest part about eating sweets is working out after eating a lot😄😄😄 I love making dumplings, but usually it takes sooooooo much time😋

  6147. Hi, I am 16 years old and I started to learn Japanese recently, I would like to say that you are a big inspiration for me and I look up to you. It's fascinating how fluent you are speaking Japanese and it makes me look forward and work harder to achieve my goal (which is speaking Japanese). I appreciate your YouTube videos they are entertaining and somehow it helps me to learn about life in Japan. Thank you for being an inspiration for my dreams, love u :)
    6
  6148. Could of watched those interactions for hours:) it’s a beautiful thing to be able to speak different languages, it breaks down so many barriers, I had the biggest smile on my face watching this:)
    6
  6149. You're my favorite Russian Youtuber.😁 Everytime I flounder on my language learning for the day I watch videos like yours to get motivated. Even though they arnt related to my current languages I'm learning (Italian and Persian/Farsi) it is still a boost.

  6152. hi ms pearl i'm always waiting for the new video of your😊

  6153. The background music is from Bali!
    6
  6154. This is such an inspiration -- what a pleasure to watch
    6
  6155. Been watching your videos for a few weeks now. I felt like this one (a “real” one) earned my subscription. Thanks, and good luck.
    6
  6156. I appreciate you both being able to go deeper on this subject. I personally find it fascinating how people from different cultures think on these kinds of topics. There’s definitely a spectrum of views on extremist views on something but, ultimately they need to happen or we can never progress as societies. ✌🏻
    6
  6157. Amazing video. Thank you for sharing with us your experience.

  6158. a literal POLYGLOT

  6159. Your husband is so funny. He really enjoyed himself. Great video.

  6161. Omg her accent is super good tho I'm Canadian Cantonese Chinese and she speaks better than me lol

  6162. Japan & every large city in the world face the same problems. Just like here in the states so many homeless encampments, opening liquor stores in low socio economic areas, the aging population, (the Baby Boomers) etc. Every large city has areas they wished no one would see. Blessings to the people who are so unfortunate & live in such conditions.

  6163. That piano playing was so dope!!
    6
  6164. Love this video 🙂
    6
  6165. 確かに、日本のことを紹介するチャンネルなのに日本人が全く出てこない動画って多いですよね そういう動画見ると、日本の文化には興味あっても日本人には興味無いのかなぁって思ってしまいます　 日本人あっての日本なのに
    6
  6166. I watched kid shows in Finnish every Saturday all childhood and did a tag-along to a Finnish class with a new classmate plus have 2 close Finnish friends and I absorbed how to say 1, 2, 3, a cuss word, Finnish Lapphund and nothing else. :p I am less intimidated to learn Mandarin than I am to learn Finnish because of how little my brain can wrap around it despite being near it for a big part of my life but I agree that it's a cool sounding language. :) It's also unique enough that it makes me happy to see people have interest in it. :)
    6
  6167. This made me cry😢 for some reason. There is something just too painfully beautiful about it.
    6
  6168. First off, it's absolutely NUTS you're taking time to respond to all these comments! That's a LOT of work. Don't burn yourself out! Second, Detroit is my hometown, too :) - Living here currently, making plans myself to have an extended stay in Japan. It's so fascinating to see your husband being amazed by how things work here in America. You took him to some of the nicer spots. Sadly, he didn't get to see the riverwalk, which is SOOOO nice in the summer. Yet, Downtown is beautiful during Christmas. You and your husband warm my heart and soul. You deserve all the success you have and more. I wish I'd bumbed into you when you were here. I have so many questions. God Bless you! And merry christmas!
    6
  6169. I had some cute interactions with kids in Japan and also encountered some really rude kids. Kids there are just like kids anywhere - brutally honest, will say whatever they're thinking, and prove that we're all human regardless of the language we speak. :)
    6
  6170. I love this video so much. Lately I've been seeing tons of videos of young people like me on here who are studying 3+ languages and that messed up my mentality so much (which is my fault- not theirs). I basically wrack my brain everyday trying to figure out which language I should learn first and how quickly I can become fluent in it so I can move on to the next. And I literally have 4 on my list of languages that I want to learn. I'm literally only 18 but I always felt like I was being too slow. I know that I don't need to be fluent in every single language before I turn 25 lmao but it definitely feels like it sometimes. I'm so glad I watched this because I really want to enjoy the process of learning a language and its culture slowly. And its so refreshing to hear that you took the time to learn both Chinese and Japanese for over 5 years each instead of 6 months lmaoo (tired of those "Polygots" who claim to be fluent in a language after 6 months) PS: I know that many people like to scale the level of fluency based on accents which i'm not a fan of. For example, a Japanese foreigner could study English for years and be able to keep up with the language academically. They understand grammar, some slang, etc. But they could still have a very strong accent whenever they speak English. All countries have various accents so it'd be pretty ignorant to pick and choose who isn't fluent. As a native speaker, our brains are wired to understand what point a person is trying to get across based on the words they choose to piece together. Also, many regions across the US (and other countries) have different accents, different ways of pronunciation, and slang that other Americans don't understand at all. Yet we don't question their level of fluency in the English language.

  6171. Great interview with Lisa. I didn't notice that SHE had any disability.
    6
  6172. over 35! :D That second dude at the restaurant SAVED the conversation! lol its really amazing how "empty" it all is, as far as people go. more english colabs would be great!

  6173. really love the living room! it looks sooo good 😊 but the rent is scary though..

  6176. Congratulations! I’m happy for you both.
    6
  6177. Here in AZ I remember when I felt the one in California. That was a while ago and to me that was a lil scary to feel everything move even a little.
    6
  6178. I'm officially quarantined. Two people from my office are positive. I'll find out soon. Perfect time to learn Chinese!!

  6180. Might have been raining almost 24/7 but that didn't seem to dampen your obvious happiness being together! Also, the village could be considered creepy at night, but probably not during the day.
    6
  6181. Well, well, talk about opening doors by speaking someone‘s native language! That is so quick, a few phrases and kind words or compliments or even a joke here and there, and all of a sudden you are in a completely different position to their souls. I adore you and your skills, Pearl. You are absolutely fear and ruthless, love it. 😂 Hugs to you both from Uruguay ♥️👍🇺🇾
    6
  6182. Congratulations!! 👏👏❤❤ The fruit of all your hard work. I wish you more subscribers. I love your videos and I am a subscriber. ❤❤ 🇵🇭
    6
  6183. Amazing production quality! And of course I'm always impressed by your language skills
    6
  6184. Buta chan is giving zero f**k to everyone around...
    6
  6185. They are all surprised when hearing you speaking in their respective language. Korean, Japanese and Mandarin. And even though it is hard to communicate in Korean, the locals are nice too. Oh my god! I wish I could meet you in Hong Kong next week.
    6
  6186. Hah... that’s funny! Unfortunately, nobody lives like Full House. 🤣😂
    6
  6187. dont know how hard it would be but look for Chris Broad from Abroad in japan. And I think yuki san can hook you up with connection's in tokyo creative.
    6
  6188. I really enjoyed this video. I am a fan of snakes and have never heard of a place like this before. Thanks for doing this one.you were very brave for holding them.
    6
  6189. So happy for this new vlog. Your video popped up a week ago & been binge watching since. You are truly amazing! I know you put a lot of time into studying but your dedication & hard work has paid off. Love your videos, keep up the good work😊
    6
  6190. This is totally cool. The sound of the locust, even the sound of the footsteps, and stone fences with moss growing on them, all of it is so nostalgic. Seeing your fascination with even bamboo really seems like working really hard to learn two very difficult languages seems like it was totally worth it for you. That hairdresser lady seems like she was slowly working her way to finally being able to politely touch your hair. Having worked in hair, she probably couldn't resist the temptation. It's also really nice to see you've adopted the local culture of being ultra-polite and humble. I also saw a lot of skill level: Asian in the skating ring :D
    6
  6191. Honestly I have been trying to learn Spanish on my own for 2 years it’s not easy learning a language I’m conversational but there is so much more to know
    6
  6192. When I was in Tokyo, I left my shopping bag full of things I bought outside a venue after the show there. My friends and I walked away for about 30 mins until I realized it was not in my hand. I ran back and the staff of the venue had it! I really miss Japan and I hope I get to come back again soon

Yall r so cute i love it❤❤❤❤❤ keep it up lmao i love that yall are pushing the envelope of international marital relationships and feeling so comfortable with eachother😁😁 keep doing dope content, we love seeing tour husband w you lol will you ever do more content w your inlaws in america? Id love to see it😊
    6
  6195. Another great video as always, inspiring!
    6
  6196. Another great video. I find this true in every nation I've visited. The further away you get from the big city, the more down to earth friendly people you find that are just as curious about you as you are about them. Every port we visited in the military, my friends and I would always head to the most remote locations to truly experience the people. As a side benefit, meals and such are much cheaper also lol My only caution is to use common sense and place safety first and read up on an area before you go there.
    6
  6197. You are absolutely amazing Anming. Just love to watch the latest from your posts. So nice to be able to hear, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese all in one video. I send you peace, 💙 and harmony.

  6199. If you go to Nigata or Hokkaido, Russian is the biggest foreigner group and in the realm of Japanese youtube, , surprisingly, they are the biggest foreigners in japan youtuber group. They look so western but act so eastern.
    6
  6200. Lol. My English level has improved so much just by seeing you. ILve this channel 🙃
    6
  6201. was most of this footage "current"? iman, its so weird to see so many people congregating during these times. its refreshing to see! thank you as always, for making these videos for us! :) Stay Safe, Eric
    6
  6202. I'm almost done catching up on all of the previous videos from this channel. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the American episodes!
    6
  6203. i'm here because i just like seeing the stuff you do. we get to see japan (and maybe china in the future too!) through your videos. you make it enjoyable and funny no matter what topic you choose to focus on so really just do whatever u want!
    6
  6204. wow, that is the 2nd J Vlog video in 12 hours where Mac and Cheese was mentioned. Maybe it is going to overtake the country (lol). Thanks for the new video. Did the subway start up right away or did you have to walk home? Wasn't it late a night? Take Care!
    6
  6205. I always love your content Oriental Pearl. 😊 Especially this type of content. They are my favorite ones. Thanks for sharing it. 💗👍
    6
  6206. I hope i find you in japan when this covid 19 is over. We can talk in person. Much love though towards you.❤💋😍😘😗😚☺🙂🤗
    6
  6207. 3:25 It doesn’t stop you from walking through in Japan 😯
    6
  6208. I think the takeaway here is that viewers should keep in mind going in that "speaking" a language doesn't demand fluency. The point where I think it becomes an real issue is when people are teaching others when they themselves aren't fluent. That being said, people shouldn't be dismissed so easily just for having practiced for a small amount of time. Xiaoma started learning Spanish like a couple months ago and hearing his Spanish now, I can confirm that he's fairly conversational and I was really surprised by it.
    6
  6209. As a Detroiter, this is pretty cool, just seeing his amazement is pretty fun to watch
    6
  6210. Why is it rude? It's spreading awareness about a serious issue that many people have no clue about.
    6
  6211. I watched this awesome documentary called Miso Hungry and its about an over weight guy going to japan and losing weight eating the standard Japanese diet. Super cool to watch
    6
  6212. Congratulations I’m really happy for you 🙏❤️❤️
    6
  6213. Congratulations on your beautiful marriage! :) May you both share a beautiful wedded life together always sharing your cultures together, continue to grow in your shared vision, and create a beautiful family together. :) Sending you both lots of love and light! :) Amen!

  6214. I lived in Guam for 3 years with my sister. Love the snorkeling but most of the time I was booney stomping out to Talofofo Falls and Inarajan Falls. Coconut Crabs in Guam are pretty big. Found lots of old World War II artifacts in several caves the Soldiers dug out. I even found some live hand grenades that explosive ordinance disposal hand to come get and dispose of. There was one Japanese Soldier still alive in Guam some thirty years after the war ended. I think it was 1972. I lived their from 1979 thru 1981. I remember watching on television a Naval Officer who swam all the way around Guam and during his swim several sharks swam along with him. There are caves out in the middle of the island that most tourist don't ever hike.

  6215. Wow that's really nice one 😊 They can't believe you speak Japanese so fluently 😅Love your contents 😀

  6232. You always pop up on HelloTalk and now you're in my YouTube recommendations...I WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL!

  6233. It's funny seeing you use mainland Chinese in Taiwan For example, one difference is the word for taxi which in China is 出租車 but in Taiwan is 計程車 So cool tho
    6
  6234. And you speak both languages so authentically!!!
    6
  6235. Xin Chao! Viet is hard...:)

  6236. Always looking forward to see your vids, always interesting.
    6
  6237. This was awesome! You are so positive.
    6
  6238. I feel like you'd be able to pick up Korean very quick since you already know Chinese and Japanese at a professional level.
    6
  6239. Me trying to understand the conversations : 🧐😯🤯 Oriental Pearl: For people as you it’s why the subtitles exists xdd Thanks

  6240. the guys at the end <3 i love when guys geek out and turn into kids

  6241. great, lighthearted video watching yours when I get up starts my day off good EDIT: btw (coming from a grandma) when someone says your pretty, just say thank you, because you are
    6
  6242. So nothing to fear, a green light for you and Tommy to have kids! :D
    6
  6243. I have been watching your videos for over two years now; I found your channel back in 2020 during the pandemic and all that. It's crazy how much have you progressed over these years! Congratulations, and may you two have a blessed life together <3
    6
  6244. 5:08 I love the chuckle after “for one it’s cheap, hehe”
    6
  6245. I've been thinking about taking a trip to Japan for a few years now, but I'm not going until I have a basic understanding of the language. I personally feel that it would be more respectful to use their language to communicate since I am a visitor to their homeland. I would not want them to possibly feel uncomfortable trying to communicate with me in a different language. I also feel like it will help me properly immerse myself in the environment, and to help me explore everything easier.

  6247. When nobody compliments you on your language it means that you have reached native speaker level and people do not go around congratulating native speakers, they just talk to you.
    6
  6248. If this is your new style I’m loving it. Merry Christmas to you and Tommy. ❤️❤️🎄🎄💋
    6
  6249. Gorgeous ladies. I love listening to you converse in different languages. I find it fascinating. Wishing you both a peaceful holiday season. ❤

  6255. Aww what a wholesome video! It was very entertaining watching him be so surprised by everything lol
    6
  6256. Not sure why anybody would feel the need to publicly announce their distaste for the channel... it's an interesting human being living an interesting lifestyle and doing us all a favor by uploading videos of the experience to share with people around the world!
    6
  6257. Well I can tell right away she isn't American (despite her English with an American accent) because when she didnt like something she was still super kind about it and wasnt harsh in judgment even when others were to her. Americans will just dish it right back and not care. She is soft spoken and kind and really thinks about the impact of her words before she speaks. I noticed that about all the people you interviewed ❤
    6
  6258. I feel you, I was also supposed to have been in China now studying :( Our classes are online now instead so I have 'met' our Chinese students but not in person and would really just like to goo.... and I wanted to visit Japan and South Korea too while I was there. Sucks
    6
  6259. This Channel is Awesome!!! And, she presents other Channel Hosts/ influencers, as well, to help them out!
    6
  6260. I love ur videos oriental pearl!!! Arigatō! Thanks for being here never give up!! :)

  6261. I think being friendly sometimes is a talent..hahaha.I admired you for speaking japanese and chinese fluently..that friendly experience with the guy on bike is really awesome, you really know how to get with locals and go mingle, it makes travel more exciting.👍💙
    6
  6262. I'm interested in the culture of other countries, and your interaction with the locals is the best parts. Your channel popped up while following ADV China, and Only in Japan. Keep following your dreams!

  6263. Why torture me with such delicious morsels of food :-)

  6264. I love this video. I live in Howell Michigan. Having a blended family, my kids are half white half Asian I can relate so much with this video and my life story moving from the Philippines to the US. Thanks for sharing! Hope I can learn how to vlog here in Michigan. I was so inspired with all your pretty cool and amazing videos and your life story. Godbless

  6267. Honestly language learning isn’t glamorous and I think that’s why these types of predatory things appeal to people Language learning takes A LOT of time and dedication. It also means that you’re never quite “fluent” if you understand what I mean. People always have the goal of wanting to be fluent but it’s the journey that’s really the beauty of learning a language imo. And fluency is so subjective and usually takes many MANY years. When I started learning Japanese I didn’t realize just how much time and effort it would take. It took so much time and effort that it added to me being exhausted and I had to stop temporarily so I can continue when I don’t have as much “regular” schoolwork. It’s unfortunate but it’s a reality we have to face - that language learning takes a lot and if you truly want to learn a language you can’t just go to one class a week and expect to know the language, like you said.
    6
  6268. I love you slow-mo editing especially when someone wows haha. I admire your dedication & commitment to learning languages Anming & it’s beautiful that the impact it leaves on the people you meet. Even though I haven’t done much Japanese studying but recognizing kanji it’s a step & I want to touch those books I bought few years ago. So much languages I want to learn but I don’t want to overwhelm myself.
    6
  6269. When you were home last time and posted the video I though it would have been nice for you to introduce your parents and their feeling about you traveling abroad. Keep up the good work. To me the Japanese feel good that you take the time to learn their culture and language.
    6
  6270. I really admire your determination to challenge and conquer something so difficult as learning a new language in a foreign country. Also, thank you for sharing the links/code to Sakura and TokyoTreat. I've been meaning to look for a service like this. I just got back from a trip to Japan/Korea and brought back a lot of snacks, but I know they won't last too long! I'll need to replenish my supply of snacks before I can get to go back! 😅
    6
  6271. Hi, it's the first time I see you and I want to tell you that I am learning English, I can understand other people but I cannot express myself

  6272. Man this really hits 😢😢 i am from Arkansas moves cold turkey to Barrow, Alaska most northern town in US where -30 is typical temperature...no family and I had to make the best of it...seeing you like that? Really hits a soft bone..I really hope everything goes back to normal in Asia...so you may return back to ur Bf in China!! 😔...hope nothing but guidance, protection and good fortune and the best! Much love!

  6273. So fun and satisfying to watch you guys fight each other but then united to devour those tasty ramens.

  6274. This was awesome! Great video
    6
  6275. You bring a good perspective and insight into the subject matter of. your videos. That's' why I like watching them. Glad I discovered you. As for the video length: as long as the content is good like your other videos -- longer is just fine.
    6
  6276. Thanks for not sugar coating it.
    6
  6277. Yes release more videos on Japanese and chinese too, more importantly we need your videos in America especially in china town like xiaomanyc and chris style
    6
  6278. Finally, Tommy visit the US.. I've been waiting to see this and love his facial expressions taking it all in! He really enjoyed his visit, you can tell he was sad to leave especially with you staying! I'm glad he experienced our Thanksgiving, a very American tradition, especially with your family!!! Can't wait for your next video! I thought I had the notification bell on, but it was not on, now it is!!!

  6279. So close to 1 million subs

  6280.  @MrLakers1991  I agree with you, it's not a prank because she doesn't pretend she doesn't speak or understand Chinese, she just speaks to people in Chinese right off the bat! I think it's great!
    6
  6281. It’s nice to see that mug again.. hope all is safe lady

  6282. Congrats on the engagement! You guys make a cute couple. I loved Japan when my husband and I were stationed there in 2003. They have the nicest people and really good food.

  6288. I could seriously listen to you switch off between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean all day. Your language skills are amazing! What new language are you studying?
    6
  6289. Looks like a fun place to explore!
    6
  6290. I JUST FREAKIN' finished the live stream you did earlier (yesterday??) and as if on cue, here's another video! This one looks really interesting, and as it's 2:30am here in Australia, I'll watch it later on!

  6291. Happy Birthday!! Or as my wife would say, Selamat Hari Ulang Tahun! I wanted to send you a picture but I see you can't put a picture in the comments. I'll try Instagram.
    6
  6292. It's amazing how someone's pleasure can be someone else's fear and vice versa. I bet your Mum would rather do 100 dives than learn Chinese for a week.
    6
  6293. That is very nice to hear that. I can't wait when you mastered it with Japanese language! BTW, I couldn't to learn anything other language due to my limited time :D (Maybe duolingo.... maybe not.)
    6
  6294. Quick question would you learn Japanese first or Korean? I've been stuck with deciding between them. I would like to be able to live abroad in either Japan or south Korea if possible. Thanks :)
    6
  6295. I've got some Finnish friends and they operate on another level.
    6
  6296. When you walk around with your Westerner friends, you are just a tourist, when you walk around with your chinese friends you are more than that
    6
  6297. I love watching your videos. Hope you can share more every week! You and Tommy are wonderful people to follow.

  6298. Hi Pearl, I don’t speak Chinese or Japanese but I love your videos!! You’re an inspiration to anyone learning a new language and I love that you have meaningful conversations rather than just trying to “shock” native speakers. It adds another dimension to your videos that I haven’t really found elsewhere. I’m not sure why you get hate on some of your videos, I think what you’re doing is awesome. Keep doing you, girl!
    6
  6299. You two are adorable. The way he looks at you, so much love in his eyes. God Bless you both.

  6300. I LOVE this content. I always loved that Seinfeld episode and it must feel so empowering to be able to bridge that gap and let them know you are not so foreign after all 😉💜

  6301. Fako Idrizovic You’re so obsessed of being stupid, racist and jealous I hope your parents are proud of you!

  6302. A very interesting video how to see the situation we never see 👏
    6
  6303. It’s awesome seeing how much your channel has grown in subscribers and viewers over the past couple years. Happy for you!
    6
  6304. You inspired me to start learning Japanese and Mandarin. Thank you so much for these kinds of videos! Really goes a long way for so many. A real language learning inspiration!
    6
  6305. Natto seems to be the sort of food that u have to grow up with since young to love eating it’s really rare for people who eat it out of a whim to like it 😅
    6
  6306. Yes!!!! I love when your videos drop! I started learning Japanese a few months ago and they really help!
    6
  6307. I honestly love your channel! It’s so interesting and I learn something new every time.😁🥰🤩
    6
  6308. Of course when you start learning another language the first words we learn are bad words 😂.nice videos
    6
  6309. I've been learning some words in mandarin and now I start recognizing them when Oriental Pearl talks in Chinese.😱😱😱😱😆😀😅😀😅😀😅😀

  6310. Yay!!! Thrift store shopping!!! That’s my favorite pastime 😂. I dig finding cool inexpensive stuff 👍.

  6311. Hi sunshine you're right when you get to a certain age you don't care. She was amazing 🌷💕🙏🇺🇸😷🇺🇸
    6
  6312. I don’t usually tear up watching YouTube…that was so cute and beautiful. Congratulations 🎊 I wish you a joyous life together. 💕
    6
  6313. @Oriental Pearl When the shop lady said you were friends at 5:40, you replied, "差不多吧." I haven't studied Chinese for long and I only just learned "差不多", so my basic understanding is that it means "almost". My question being, does "吧" change the meaning into an agreement? Sorry if this is a silly question. Thanks for the new vid!

  6314. the charisma of language learning is talking to people.
    6
  6315. Wow! The costumes were insane and the amount of people too!❤ I thought only Americans wore such skimpy Halloween costumes, but they got us beat by the look of your censor emojis😁😁
    6
  6316. To be honest I have wanted to learn some archery lately. I'm really good at rifles, side arms and shotguns, but I never limit what I can learn and if I can learn to use bows, I would love to do that too. Odds knowing myself, I would probably learn not just how to fire it, but also how much is needed to hit my target and not just to fire at it. Mostly learning all the intricate details doing it. Like there was a time a while back where I shooting a .22 caliber rifle at a 5 inch target at 100 yards and after learning on how the bullet was hitting the target through the scope, I started hitting my target in the center after that despite the scope being of a tick. That being said, learning how to use a bow will be fun.
    6
  6317. So fun! Love how fluent you're getting in Japanese!
    6
  6318. Hi Pearl, Great vid. Much depends on having realistic expectations, good ESL teacher training and an abundance of flexibility. Also, as in most of life, knowing yourself is essential in making good choices of where to teach. Those choices can lead to disaster or fulfillment. Thanks for your insightful pros and cons of teaching middle school. I taught there for over 20 years and experienced the full range of results :)

  6320. To be honest i don't watch a lot of these youtubers and to be more honest i only watch your channel and one german channel. 😂 But i can share my experience with learning japanese. I tried it a couple times in the past, but i never really gotten into it and i would say it was most likely because of the wrong materials and way too high expectations. After i discovered your channel on january 25th the fire reignited and i was more passionated then ever before, but also more patient. So i'm now past day 16 and i can only do a basic selfintroduction with name, age, origin and job. I just finished the lesson about ます and hammered hiragana ,katakana and a few kanji in my head. I'm still super excited and motivated, but i want to point out that i've learned 8 hours straight on some days. If i a had to guess i did like 4 hours on average every day. I don't know if i did big progress or not and i don't really care, cause i enjoy learning it rather then seeking for the miracle solution. So that was a lot of words for a simple thing: Just have fun learning languages!

  6321. Anming really speaking all ASIAN langs so fluently and switching it up fast🤭😌 side note: Wish more videos from you love them!!
    6
  6322. Great video Anming. 6:00 - Happened to both my sons more than once. Both challenged their teacher and didn't end well. But the errors were egregious.
    6
  6323. Great video!! Looks like a lot of fun! Those mature comics stories are amazing btw.🤣 I can't wait to go back to Tokyo. Also thank you for the vlog making tips. Really helped me a lot in improving my video making quality. 📹🙏

  6325. If he's happy with his languages why take that joy away from him/them? In the end, it won't matter anyway.
    6
  6326. From my experience (I'm Japanese and I have a white wife), Japanese people nowadays don't stare at normal foreigners that much since foreigners are not that rare anymore. I'm sure they stared at you simply because you looked very beautiful/kawaii to them. Even if you're Japanese, if you're beautiful or super handsome, people would love to stare at you, haha.
    6
  6327. She speak both language fluently..
    6
  6328. HI How can you speak Japanese and Chinese so good...? Have you lived there for a long time?
    6
  6329. I love your content, as someone interested in learning Japanese. Chinese seems too hard to me. But your videos make it seem less daunting. Plus you are so personable, the little awkward moments are precious.
    6
  6330. if i ever build a house i want it to look classic japanese damn your hotel looked so nice
    6
  6331. She is so cool, it would be rad to see her incorporate some elements of Japanese odori into her dancing too, that would be dope AF. Mix the traditional and the modern. 😁
    6
  6332. 2:53 🤣🤣🤣 the laugh is real .
    6
  6333. You remind a lot of a co-worker I had that left to Europe a few years ago, she was so intelligent, very beautiful and brave! keep it up you inspire us all around the world!
    6
  6334. Nice video, love seeing all the positive reactions to your language skills & geographical knowledge!
    6
  6335. I remember went to Japan and there is local people suddenly helping me and my family to show us the way to go somewhere. We even didn't ask, but he just randomly came to help us🥰 Thank you Anming for this video, love it!
    6
  6336. I miss Japan.. the best time in my life
    6
  6337. 冷死宝宝了，哈哈so funny.
    6
  6338. Your Chinese is so good.
    6
  6339. What a fun and cute vlog! I'm always engaged by your content but it was especially fun just following along a few days in your life as you travel with your boyfriend. Yes, I am part of the 2% of subscribers who saw this video pop up in my feed!! But I also regularly (triweekly) check your page for updates as well.
    6
  6340. I did Kyudo in Japan and it was a great experience! I took the first level test and got my name on a wooden plaque in the kyudo-jo. It’s not about hitting the targets - kyudo is about the stances, being calm, breathing, going slowly, and releasing the arrow correctly. If it hits, that’s great and obviously something people practice and aim for (haha) but Kyudo is still fun even when you don’t hit the targets all the time. And I always loved putting on my hakama and glove!
    6
  6341. And to think I knew this amazing woman at 6,000 subscribers...well I don't really know her but her channel is really cool and entertaining. Great job....Be proud of all your accomplishments.
    6
  6342. Every video of this channel put a smile to my face, cant wait for more. Really really really love this video and i know everyone else enjoyed it too
    6
  6343. I have to show my daughters your channel - my 13 year old really wants to learn Japanese and her nine year old sister wants to do everything she wants to do lol they’ll love you!
    6
  6344. Love the “hmmm” then the shudder hahaha..
    6
  6345. Very very close to 50k subscribers....way to go. I remember when it was 6,000 and knew you would explode. YOU deserve all the success that comes your way. All your followers love you!! Much love from Illinois. Be safe and be well.

  6346. Poor Tommy, having to work, not getting hugs

  6347. I found your channel because for about two years I have been studying how to speak Japanese. My first trip to Japan I could basically only say a few phrases, and words that I couldn't link into coherent sentence. My second trip, I could hold short basic conversations. If it got technical or specific, then I needed google translate ie: insurance when renting a car. However, I live in a part of Canada where there are no Japanese speakers within a couple hours. Without being surrounded by the language, I find it hard to think in the language. You seem to be able to think in three language simultaneously, as when you converse in all three you switch seamlessly between them. There doesn't appear to be a lag to translate in your mind before speaking in the appropriate language. Can you make any suggestions that can help in just hearing and understanding, as opposed to hearing, translating to English and formulating a response, translating to Japanese. I find this makes conversation sluggish. I have a couple language programs and numerous books, and when world was old drove a 3 hour round trip for 1 hour with a tutor. Because of your recommendation I purchased Japanesepod101 but when I was signing up, all it seemed to want to do was up sell me rather than inspire me by getting me learning and practicing. Basically, I'm in a lack of motivation stage due to Covid depression, but want to get back enjoying the process. I believe I have the ability to think in Japanese, since one night in Japan I had a dream in Japanese, and was able to function with far more fluidity, than I can when awake and alert in the real world. Your videos just make me want to get back to Asia, having been to Taiwan multiple times, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, as well as Japan, I long to be back strolling the streets you are traversing, and enjoying the varied cultures of Asia.

  6352. I can see why people are walking against traffic. I would too! Thanks for another vid, Pearl!

  6353. The kid in the end mocks and misses you leaving.

  6354. Some one completely missed the point of this video lol
    6
  6355. What I’ve learned is that Japan and Japanese people have more respect for people that are new or different to them vs Americans tend to jump to categorizing and judging and assuming they know more than the person they are speaking to. Thanks for these videos as always Anming! I love seeing you bring the perspectives of all sorts of people and experiences in Japan.
    6
  6356. yes, please! More videos like this. So much more interesting than the reaction videos. I hope a lot more people agree so you'll make more.
    6
  6357. You’re one of my favorite YouTubers and you’re such an inspiration! You make learning languages look easy, but you’ve made it clear it takes lots of hard work to achieve what you have. It’s your authentic, down-to-earth and non-pretentious attitude that makes you so loved by many. I’m also from Detroit (Oakland county area) and studied briefly in Taiwan, Korea and Japan, but it wasn’t enough to become fluent. Now I moved to Germany for work, and I miss Asia SOO much. I really felt at home there. I feel like I’m too old to change my life path and move permanently to Asia (early 40’s), yet Asian languages will forever remain one of my main passions in life. Thank you for sharing your life and love of languages with us!

  6358. Best thing to do is let them keep watching (earns you money😁) and NEVER respond ..because if you respond directly to them(you can mention it as a whole..just not individually), it teaches them they can get attention if they keep it up. 😑It also teaches others that if they too become mean or say hateful things..they will get attention. Most of the trolls dont actually think or believe the things they post. They truly do it to feel special when youtubers give them attention. So give them none😊👍💓

  6359. Cancel culture is a real problem... Hope you are doing well nontheless. :) Greetings from Austria!

  6360. Some people just can’t wrap around their head not everything’s about white supremacy and it’s their choice to watch the video in the first place🙄
    6
  6361. 🚨If you think about it. In America if you divided it into 4. The people in the north East (or what we call the midwest) are the best people too. We are used to the cold and it makes us tougher!🚨
    6
  6362. Thanks for another great vid. It might be interesting showing a comparison of the Orient vs. Occident work ethic. Many firms in Japan still start the work day with exercises designed to create a bond between the staff as well as creating a mindset conducive with a hard days work. Getting workers in the US or UK (especially construction or metal workers), to do the same, would be I believe impossible. In this regard, I believe that the oriental method is superior.
    6
  6363. It’s funny that everyone thinks your Russian. 😂

  6364. Vocabulary and phrases I learn today: 1. Popping tags 2. Skate around 3. The jig is up 4. Gullible 5. Security overhaul

  6365. Ooooo, no no no. Kudos to you for calling attention to this. The only thing not cringe worthy was when he said you were a cool chick. Saying he knows what’s up with a girls vibes in 5 seconds, showing the clip of the girl ignoring him and saying “See? This is what I’m dealing with...” so creepy. Then flirting with a “little girl” on a game, he says she’s too young until she calls him “daddy” then he perks up. You never know who’s on the other end of the internet. I can hear Chris Hansen pitting on his hazmat suit to catch a flight to Japan.
    6
  6366. Thanks so much for the inclusiveness. Often times, Japan, is portrayed as a very nice and friendly country on the surface, but as you dig deeper you find that there are many deficiencies. I love the direction you are going with your videos now. Keep it up!
    6
  6367. Okay when I found your channel I was so happy. Here is someone doing exactly what I wish I could do. I think what you do is extremely interesting. I started out wanting to learn Chinese but for some reason felt like learning Japanese was easier for me. Anyway, I think you're great and much love to you and yours.
    6
  6368. Nice to see Rody styling, and you cracked me up with that line, "cooking stuff". Really sweet getting your wallet returned, and I would go back and do a bit of advertising for that restaurant as a compliment. Thank-you for the tour.
    6
  6369. Wow Holloween is wild on there!!!! Cool!!! The effects are really cool you put in the video. I find Japanese people to very beautiful. Your video's are so wonderful, you need 1 million views. I have been watching you since the beginning about language.
    6
  6370. Hey my friend! Awesome video! You're crushing it! Found you through Nick Nimmin's comments and thought I'd stop by and say hi! Keep it up!! :D
    6
  6371. I've been a subscriber of Wouter's for years. He's like the perfect ambassador for polyglots, always very honest about his ability and fun too, not egotistical or cocky. I was lucky to be exposed to many languages and cultures as a child, so always fantasized about being able to talk with anyone. More of it

  6375. Thanks for that video. When I was speaking mandarine to some cinese people, they weren't surprised at all. So I was wondering why I didn't get the same reaction you always get in your videos. Now I understand ))
    6
  6376. Love this video you're awesome my wife is chinese and she doesn't even eat natto I love natto yummy
    6
  6377. I adore your videos! Watching your interactions with others is great! You seem like such a genuine person! You’ve made me more interested in learning another language! I wish I would have been more motivated to learn when I was younger!

  6378. When u can be at one place and use both of your skills at the same time..

  6381. If you're Western then you're Western, if you're Japanese then you're Japanese. You can't switch nationalities/cultures by studying/copying them, it's the luck of the draw the moment you're born. Before all of the fans start typing away replies, I am not a hater I think the video was great, just the title is false.
    6
  6382. Happy New Year and best wishes! You are a lovely couple.

  6383. if you have a baby together, I bet your baby will be very beautiful or handsome !!!

  6384. The mountains around Yufuin are amazing. Great place to tour with a convertible. At 6'4" I was considered a giant when I lived nearby :) But the people all over Kyushu are lovely. The only reason they don't talk to you is they don't want their poor English to be displayed. The film of obachan in the small restaurant is what they are like when they're not scared of the language barrier - nicely done.
    6
  6385. I just discovered your channel and I think you're amazing!!! Love your content. You are always respectful and friendly, even in the face of behavior that could be considered less than polite. Anyone who spends time bullying you for views is a sad human being!
    6
  6386. I feel like growing up with Finnish just primes your brain to learn other languages easier since that language is such a clusterf*ck.

  6387. "i wanna visit ur parent's home town" woah slow down gurl :P

  6389. In Mexico, dryers are also not very common. My grandma has a dryer and a washing machine that we bought for her and she still washes her clothes by hand and puts her clothes outside to dry 😂

  6390. Your videos are so much fun to watch. Hope you and your new husband are doing well. I miss Japan. Can’t wait to go back very soon . 🙏🏼❤️
    6
  6391. I think sharing a photo would be lovely to think I'd touched their lives and shared a smile. Bless you poppet ❤
    6
  6392. Im studying Korean but you always inspire me to go forward because you have a very realistic approach to language learning and i like and appreciate the honesty a lot. Many people make it seem so easy, because they don't want to appear vulnerable and show their mistakes while learning. That really twists the whole experience of language learning. No one is born a master. It is really difficult but sulking about it won't change anything. Love your videos!
    6
  6393. Looks fun :) My husband, son and I dressed as Mario, Luigi and Peach last night 🎉

  6394. I'm looking forward to this!

  6396. I really like japan more vlogs

  6397. You're amazing! Great motivation to continue learning Japanese. I've also change teams in my job and had a lot to learn. I reminded me that I can't improve without hard work, consistency, making sacrifices and commitment!

  6401. I was actually trying to find videos on the slums of Japan and surprisingly it's hard to find. I knew Japan was not perfect, but after my initial research, I almost believed it was. My friend use to be a missionary (lived in Japan for 2 years) and he said he only found one homeless person, so felt they were basically nonexistent. Goes to show you how much Japan really covers this up. Thank you for sharing!

  6402. Such a beautiful culture and language.

  6403. 11:06 could Tommy be any cuter? I love him!!!

  6404. Please do more with this dude. Favorite video by far

  6405. Oriental Pearl I am watching from Scotland.

  6406. You're right, being able to strike up a conversation is fun and rewarding. Very worth it. The thing I would caution is to be psychologically strong enough to handle rejection. I think that unless you're prepared to deal with it, at least initially, there's real pain associated with rejection, and you must prepare to take a hit on your self-esteem w/o letting it damage you. You certainly seem to have succeeded in that aspect!

  6412. Did you check out if they actually feature you on Japanese TV? "Kill Bill" is a fantastic movie, definitely a classic <3 Happy halloween guys even it's not something we are celebrating in France <3

  6413. For juggling Start with 1 bean bag. Practice over a bed so when one drops it is easy to puck up. Toss at eye height from right to left. Pause. Toss back. Soon you will be ready for 2. With the 1st at its high point start the 2nd one. Catch both. Start the next toss with the oppisite hand so you do not develop a directional bias. 3 is just 2 but faster. If my clumsy sister could learn to juggle you can, too.
    6
  6414. I agree wholehardedly with this. I speak a few languages and we all know that learning a language at a high level takes a lot of time and hard work. I don't like these videos with titles like "learning French in a week". I could do it too, but don't, because its no use

  6418. Ay! Shout out from a fellow Michigander in Japan. Im from a city not too far from Detroit. Thank you for making this video and showing such kindness.
    6
  6419. I liked your comment about the elderly in Japan being so friendly. That is definition what I found when I visited Osaka. Perhaps it is because I have gray hair myself. They even helped me grocery shop. I loved Japan and if you go to a foreign country I think you should try to enjoy the culture and learn what you can. The Japanese people made me feel very welcome and I can’t wait to go back
    6
  6420. Well this is something different. Your channel feels approachable and 'real'. I feel like I can agree with all of those myths based on a 1 month visit there last year. However it's definitely easy to make friends in Japan, they're super curious, and even if you approach them in terrible Japanese (like mine i know only a couple hundred words and no grammar), their curiosity will keep them interested. I met more people during that 1 month than in 10 years back home. As soon as this corona situation is fixed, I'm hoping to come again, this time for at least a year! Good luck with this channel, however bear in mind that if you grow too big, the charm of this community you have now will disappear :D

  6422. Welcome to Detroit Michigan, Tommy. I’m glad he was able to experience many of Detroit and Michigan specialties like better maid, mackinaw fudge and apple cider. Y’all had great seats at the Red wings game. Was he able to Comerica park and Ford field.
    6
  6423. Well I hate hot and humid so I guess Beijing wins but I would rather go to Harbin and Hokkaido.
    6
  6424. I just found you on YT today.. you're really cool and kawaii! I listen to many J Rock bands, maybe that's why YT suggested you. Keep it up!
    6
  6425. Of course you'd be Ino... Already got the hair done! 😂
    6
  6426. The Princess is back !
    6
  6427. She really said “You get the beeeessstt of both worlds”
    6
  6428. Your mom is hilarious! lol
    6
  6429. This is an eye opening.. thanks Pearl for being so brave and jumping into the actual scene and share with us but please always exercise caution (despite of people you encountered are so far friendly)!
    6
  6430. He is so cute and so excited. Adorable
    6
  6431. the decora girl looks so cute :D

  6432. I have to say right away that Matt sounded totally different the JP when they were speaking. Not saying she knows more, but her dialect sounded more pronounced. I speak fluent Spanish but I don't have a specific dialect because I learned here in the US. I do hang around Mexicans the most so I sound more like them, but if I went to Mexico or another Spanish speaking country I would definitely pick up a dialect if I stayed long enough.

  6433. The Japanese lady knew what type of man she wants and was open about it.
    6
  6434. Great video Oriental Pearl you truly are an inspiration to all to break barriers in language and cultures. Love you be safe❤
    6
  6435. Omg, you and your husband are just adorable! I love subscribing and following your videos. I get excited when you upload them and very nostalgic for my days of living in Japan! 🌸

  6436. ▓▒░  Why ? ? Because it's entertaining ! That's why. Yes, really.   ` I just enjoy watching the reaction of people when they realize that you are able to speak their native language. And even if you don't speak it real well, at least it shows that you're attempting to communicate with them. ░ ( Given the  fact that  YouTube tends to not display my comments / replies, perhaps no one will see this one. But IF you see  it, give it a Thumbs Up. ) Today is Saturday where I'm at, the two  hundred seventy-fifth  day of the  year  two  thousand and twenty-one.

  6437. Just a style opinion: Your hair looks GREAT in this video! It commands attention from every angle.
    6
  6438. I have been waiting for you to post love you so much hope you are doing well 🥰
    6
  6439. God bless you Anming! You are a special person, I just love your enthusiasm!
    6
  6440. i literally love this. i myself stay in detroit, much love back from the city 313 💖💖💖
    6
  6441. I was born in America and i can say if she was born and raised in Japan then she was born and raised in Japan. Why all the hate and disrespect? We are sharing this planet. I get disrespect all the time for being mixed so i get it. Thank you Oriental Pearl. For everything. Also. Try not to get so offended about people not believing you about that. Your parents are African and you from Japan. You have soooo much history and culture to share with your children. ❤❤
    6
  6442. i am so happy that is randomly found your chanle even though im from norway this is the best youtube chanle i have sen in a while
    6
  6443. Such a amazing woman and mom 🤩☺️ it gives me power 💪
    6
  6444. anming thank you for that language exchange💕 N1is difficult than I though 😂😂
    6
  6445. your channel is one of my all time fav and it inspires me to learn chinese and japanese and i sure love your confidence and perseverance to live in a different country and to survive and thrive there.
    6
  6446. This is truly inspirational, Congratulations to both of you ! Have a great journey together.
    6
  6447. I’ve never got complimented on my japanese... Does that mean I’m good 🤨:)
    6
  6448. I wonder if there are some Russian villages that are across the border into China, and someone may be ethnic Russian and be natural Chinese citizens and be fluent. Anyway, I've loved your videos for so long you are such a kind decent person.
    6
  6449. Love your videos Anming! Keep up the great work and hope your marriage is long and happy!
    6
  6450. Great video as always
    6
  6451. sir you MUST REMOVE THE HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT POKEMON LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    6
  6452. This was really cool!!! Can you do a video where you go to a restaurant in a rural area or something?
    6
  6453. such great coverage of halloween happy alloween guys!! much loves from guam!!!!
    6
  6454. Omg you did so much in a short time. I've lived in Michigan my whole life and haven't been to a Red Wings game
    6
  6455. OMG! Jessica looks like a REAL LIFE Jenny Doll!! She literally look like she was pulled out of a Shoujo Manga!
    6
  6456. wow, I love these! you breaking stereotypes of what they would expect you to speak is amazing!
    6
  6457. I am really impressed by this channel. You come across as super genuine and authentic. 🥰
    6
  6458. I’m fascinated with your videos! So informative. Keep them coming! 🎥
    6
  6459. I live in metro Detroit and it was fun to watch Tommys excitement doing the normal things I do around here! And eating all that brown and white healthy food. 😂
    6
  6460. I loved this video! The horses and archery were particularly interesting but I really like the discussion about cultural appropriation.It's so sad because I feel like this is only an issue for the people making negative comments because of the fact that the people of the 2 different countries look 'different'-for example I don't think this is as big of an issue for someone who was American but living in Sweden or Italy-for example. I think it's a sad commentary on racism, really. Does that make sense?
    6
  6461. Anming,how do you retain the Chinese and Japanese vocabulary as you speak it ? Myself trying to learn French at 65 years old (my mother spoke fluent - Cajun Louisiana French) is difficult to retain. I would look strange walking around with CHEAT sheet of French. You are a strong inspiration of people learning languages. You living in China for 6 years and using it every day, I can see how you mastered it. It rolls off your tongue like drinking water. Every episode of your video's out does the previous one. You represent America in so many ways through videos of getting along with many cultures as you speak their language. American ambassador of culture speaking. The videos you show,you are also teaching many different lessons of life also. Thank you for what you do.
    6
  6462. Love the videos! Keep up the great work! You have inspired me to live in Japan now. = )
    6
  6463. The way you interact with people is so authentic and honestly perfect. It's no wonder you learn languages so well because you have a talent for making friends and engaging people.
    6
  6464. My son is a Marine stationed in Okinawa loves it there. Thank you for showing me Japan
    6
  6465. You're such an inspiration! 🌸
    6
  6466. Its marketing. Sometimes, dishonest marketing. The key thing is to remember that people are often trying to sell you something, and be skeptical about ridiculous and over the top claims. Some language learning methods might work well for some but not as well for others, but no matter which its almost always time consuming and difficult.
    6
  6467. I love your videos ❤ and while watching them I realized how little attention we who learn English as second or third language get, even though we put so much work into becoming fluent in it. I'm really impressed with everyone who manages to know any kind of language and interacts with locals.
    6
  6468. What a lovely video. I hope he enjoyed himself - I imagine there was plenty of culture shock but he seemed to handle it all so well! Sad he had to leave you, though! I hope you’re doing well. ❤ Sending love from KY 😊
    6
  6469. Lmao pink guy from Filthy Frank 😁 1:19 Man that looks so fun out there.
    6
  6470. What’s insane is at 9:17 you can see the 2nd tallest building in Japan in the background, recently constructed in 2023…it highlights the wealth inequality. Not as bad as other western countries but still bad.
    6
  6471. Loved this vid, brings back good memories, I visited Nishinari in 2019 with my family, decided to show my kids (son 9yrs & daughter 12yrs) a different side of Japan, my wife's japanese so had no problem communicating, we had no drama's and didn't feel unsafe. I have travelled a lot in africa and asia & visited many poor areas such as soweto in south africa, I never got the same vibe as in other places I visited (didn't need eyes in the back of my head) but was still careful. The street art graffiti was good to see. There were the odd drunk's around but I didn't feel threatened, My wife would not have gone there without me though and her cousin's were a bit worried. We enjoyed our time in that area and got some great pictures. It's not hard to get to and you can visit the tallest building in Osaka Abeno Harukas which is pretty close and also Tennoji area which is a must see within in walking distance.
    6
  6472. You and Tommy are so wholesome. I love seeing vlogs with you together!
    6
  6473. Lol all the kids touching the camera. XD You did really well teaching kids considering you started in a different field in marketing. I can relate, kids can drive you mad sometimes even if they're cute and you been foreign teacher.
    6
  6474. My goal is to be a polyglot. I just can't imagine leaving this world without being able to communicate with so many people. Thank you for this video!
    6
  6475. Thank you for not showing Japan as a paradise and showing that like every country, it’s not a perfect paradise of cherry blossoms and sushi
    6
  6476. 😂 “my name is Anming, and I’m marrying Tommy” This was a funny video. The Japanese room is my favorite! I wanna go back!
    6
  6477. Well, what was your thesis about? I'd actually enjoy a video about it!
    6
  6478. Ahhaaa you both look so good 💗 BEST COUPLE 🌸 Really your house is quite pretty ♡
    6
  6479. I’d rather hang out with someone like him because it’s much more fun when you are carefree and don’t care what others think about you. He’s just living his best life lol. Instead of other ppl who are stuck up and too conservative
    6
  6480. I studied Korean and Japanese for 4 years in college as a major & minor but I still think I’m not fluent in both languages. I learned by book and a little experience because my teachers are natives of both languages. I think maybe it’s time to do learning by experience too. I wanted to be a FL teacher. I became more inspired to learn more languages because of you 😊 Thank you for sharing your experiences.
    6
  6481. Yup, I won't even click on links from emails from my bank. Nope, I just head on over to the bank site itself. I try to do that with everything that I can. Thanks for the vid.
    6
  6482. I really enjoyed this video. The editing and filming also seems to be of a higher level. MOST of all, you really seemed to be enjoying yourself! Good Luck with the job hunting!!!
    6
  6483. I'm so happy for you! ~ both the editing and the message were beautiful
    6
  6484. It's so nice to see Japan from another perspective and your language skills are admirable!
    6
  6485. Tommy's face after he tells his dad he loves him 🤣
    6
  6486. Loving all the new content but I personally need more Tommy. " Gotta have more Cowbell!!" Gotta have more Tommy❤😂😊!
    6
  6487. I really enjoy your videos ty, I get the same reaction when I speak Japanese when I am in country. Keep it up
    6
  6488. Congratulations to the both of you! You're such a lovely couple. May your marriage be blessed! 🥰

  6489. Oriental Pearl これを楽しんだ。

  6490. I was bullied a lot in school. Now I make fun about myself and don´t care what others think about me. I´m fat so what? I know that and I´m doing something about it. Even though I won´t have a sixpack or anything I don´t care. As long as I´m healthy and can walk up the stairs without the need to catch my breath it´s okay for me. Greetings from Germany :)
    6
  6491. Dude you can literally make an anime from this guy's life
    6
  6492. This was so different from a lot of videos Youtubers do about Japan, and I really appreciate being able to see another side. It is sad to see so many elderly people living the way they do. Homelessness doesn't seem to just be an issue in the U.S.A.
    6
  6493. i thought he really shock, when your face is an american and you change the language from japanese to chinese lol xD
    6
  6494. You are a cute Russian lady. That's why they want your picture. Also I think it's great you are getting Tommy to do his howling thing again. 8:27 I love it when he cuts loose with that!
    6
  6495. Hi, I'm from hellotalk. Thank you for welcoming me, you just got a new subscriber 😄
    6
  6496. This was such a beautiful video portraying a beautiful message. Thank you for sharing.
    6
  6497. I think it's just the recommendation algorithm working in favor of the reaction videos because other reaction videos are popular. You can learn more about how it works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2SscdSVzE8
    6
  6498. Hang in there. Best wishes from australia as we head in stronger lockdown
    6
  6499. In many cases channels get few views for a long time (well thousands is not few, but to some it is), and then one day suddenly some video just happens to be recommended by YT or someone somewhere and it takes off. It's better to do it for your own enjoyment, do what you enjoy, and not worry about view count, people who watch enjoy the videos :)
    6
  6500. omg id be glued to that comics store!
    6
  6501. The Mass is so beautiful. His family seem so kind. Happy New Year! Peace be with you.
    6
  6502. speaking fluent Chinese definitely help you easier to communicate with Chinese and they love you more.
    6
  6503. Wooow that perspective was so interesting, I hope more tourists go and visit that place to help the locals~
    6
  6504. I really enjoy these simple videos of you interacting with friends and strangers. Unlike the stuffy and robotic nature that can come with some language learning programs, you get to hear how ordinary people speak the language naturally. It's only a pity that I really struggle to make sense of unfamiliar words that I hear, so I don't really get to learn much (but I have this problem in my own language when listening to song lyrics, or drunken Scotsmen.)
    6
  6505. I think many people missed the point of those remarks. She is making that clear so that viewers do not expect her to do as other do out of ignorance of the culture. Moreover, I do not see any problem of criticising others behaviors that natives do not advocate. Why do people misinterpret her message in a weird way to suggest that she is trying to devaluate other channels or to climb to fame at their expense or worse to suggest that she does that only to sound better than them for her own end. I think we are not used the persons being genuine. That being said, I think there is another factor why the message is missed: the viewers come from different cultures who are not Natives of English nor of the asian languages.
    6
  6506. 9:03 Didn’t she used to be in Yuta’s videos?!!! Oh & awesome videos as usual!!!
    6
  6507. See I told you, people are always very impressed when they learn that you can speak three languages fluently! And they will grow to like you when you speak their language.cheers!
    6
  6508. I don't understand why that woman was so scared when you spoke Chinese to her the first time. Surprise I understand, but why fear?
    6
  6509. This is honestly so cool. I admit that I do watch anime. But that didn’t start my interest for Japan, honestly. I’ve loved and been interested in Japan since I was really little (before I even started watching anime). And I’ve always wanted to go there with my Dad. It’s such an interesting country.
    6
  6510. I think the reason many western european and northern european / Scandinavian countries learn new languages easily is because they are almost all raised bilingual/trilingual. I was raised Dutch but started learning English in school by the age of 6. And german aswell by the age of 10. So i was 14 when i was basicly 'fluent' in 3 languages. And that's not to pat myself on the back. It's just how most western european countries are raised at school. And i think we tend to pick up languages easier because of it.
    6
  6511. I’M NOT CRYING!!! YOU’RE CRYING 😭
    6
  6512. 16:00 This is so true! I'm Brazilian and back when I was in Canada to study English I met a Japanese boy and I told him I could introduce myself in his language. He said he didn't believe me so I introduced myself and he was SO IMPRESSED, he literally yelled "You are Japanese!!!" excitedly lol. He was surprised with every little piece of information I knew about Japan, it was funny. To be fair he barely knew anything about Brazil 😄
    6
  6513. I have black hair, brown eyes and also usually wear a mask so I've only had like 2 or 3 people get surprised with my perfect accent. There were other times I was mistaken for a Japanese person. Most of the time no one cared.
    6
  6514. Such a cute and great video. Happy Halloween! Great Princess Peach costume.
    6
  6515. Lots of laughing and good times. What a wonderful place!
    6
  6516. Why don't they just take the money and exchange it by themselves.. it's still money right, and it's their own currency 😄
    6
  6517. > That's literally the entire bathroom > The toilet is seperate cries in student apartment in Germany (I wish my bathroom had been as big. The toilet was integrated next to the shower in one big monolithic plastic 10-16 square feet bathroom. And no bath tub, just a little shower. Lived there for 6 years)
    6
  6518. I loved watching this video! I love how you have obviously adapted the culture and mannerisms into the way you speak Mandarin and Japanese. Currently, I speak English, Spanish, and French, but I would like to learn both Japanese and Chinese in the near future. Your video just gave me some motivation!
    6
  6519. I got nervous for you when the girl asked you why you came to Japan. They didn't seem like they were going to be very friendly at first so I thought they were about to gang up on the "American girl" but that went very well! I'm always amazed at your ability to just walk up and chit chat with people! Not everyone has that built in them
    6
  6520. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and I can tell how much your videos have improved in both editing and content. You’re amazing!!!
    6
  6521. When I wanted to learn a language I first thought about downloading duolingo... I used it for two days and frankly found it terrible. It’s so inefficient for learning because it literally gives you a single drop of knowledge at a time. Pimsleur is helping me make so much more progress, so much quicker AND it’s not giving me robot pronunciation. Duolingo is a fun game but it’s so false when they say it’s the best way to learn a language.
    6
  6522. "I just want to keep it real" - Oriental Pearl, 2020. Remember that quote along your journey.
    6
  6523. I lived in japan for a year.. the people were for the most part absolutely beautiful to me... I had never seen anything like it! The kindness made me fall in love with the place!!
    6
  6524. I agree with everyone else I enjoy all your videos. They are very interesting and entertaining. I hope you do a video or two while you're back here in the United States. Keep these awesome videos coming.
    6
  6525. Over 10k! Congratulations!
    6
  6526. Dude, my wife and I love your videos and especially enjoy you showing so much of the everyday life in Japan! We haven't been able to travel due to family commitments and live vicariously through you for now, so please keep posting. I'm a sign language interpreter here in the states and am a huge linguistics nerd, but English is my only spoken language. Just my experience growing up in the American Deaf community, going to university to learn how to be an interpreter and spending the last twenty years working with the Deaf and Deaf/Blind in Seattle has totally fed my soul. I really wanted to say keep up the good work with your language acquisition and picking up on the cultural norms, values and mores in Japan. Don't pay any attention to the idiots who don't have the guts to do what you have done. Congratulations on your engagement!!
    6
  6527. These videos are so cool.....hope you realise you're doing more than just making youtube content, you are in fact connecting people, bringing them closer together by breaking down barriers and stereotypes. Awesome, love it. ✊️
    6
  6528. youtube just recommended me your video so here I am 😃 this is such a special vlog! Great narrative and conceptual thought process and I especially love that time travelling part 👍 thanks for sharing your story
    6
  6529. "That's Japanese where we repeat the same thing." Me: hold my halo-halo.
    6
  6530. That was a great experiment. I always wondered about the authenticity of those types of videos. Do you think it's the same with laoshu50500? I think Chinese people may be surprised that he speaks Chinese since he's black, and that's often the first time they've talked to a black person in Chinese.
    6
  6531. i'm literally on the floor with laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣 from South Africa
    6
  6532. Very cool video Anming-chan. I really like the colab videos you have with Richard. He has a great attitude on life and seems like a ton of fun to be around. Hoping its not off base, but I suppose you could have told the volunteer guide that Richard is your Brother from another Mother. That might confuse him a bit. Now back to my Japanese studies. Arigatōgozaimasu! ! !
    6
  6533. That is so cool they are going to have you film them cook!! I’m very excited 💓💓
    6
  6534. Honestly, I really envy your boyfriend for having such a beautiful woman like you. I really hope you love each other a lot.
    6
  6535. I love the ‘not so subtle’ difference in your two answers to the question why you’re in Japan.
    6
  6536. as someone that's studied Japanese for 8 years, I'm no where near your level :( I attempted Chinese once and quit straight away. Its so hard. Props to you!
    6
  6537. We're an international couple so we're quite interested in the topic of mixed kids (is there a better concept for that?) Please do more interviews with her ☺️ 🇨🇳💚🇨🇱
    6
  6538. I like this video.
    6
  6539. I’ve always befriended people with disabilities because I know what it’s like to be different thanks to being paranormal. She seems so awesome ! I just wanna hug her ! People like this inspire me to keep being authentic and encouraging! Never stop playing! Music is the ultimate healer and universal language !
    6
  6540. Fun fact, my native language is Spanish and I also speak English .... but Italian and Portuguese are so similar to Spanish, that, without being polyglot, I can understand most of a conversation ..... in four different languages .😀
    6
  6541. I loved this video!!! It was so funny and cool!!! 😂 I really want to go to japan one day😭
    6
  6542. Love your videos! I also live in Shanghai and am trying to get to HSK 5 so I can attend a grad programme here. Inspiring to see someone who is doing it! X
    6
  6543. I've never seen a Japanese wedding before!! This was absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing this with us!!! 💕 (And I'm sure, just like anywhere else, there's different kinds of ceremonies depending on what you and your partner want!)
    6
  6544. How wonderful that you would share such a special day with so many of us. Many blessings to both of you!
    6
  6545. Yes! Most people don't realize how much time and effort is necessary for language learning. A friend of mine at university was concentrating on early modern European history. For research, she had to have a reading knowledge of French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, not just in their modern forms but those of the 15th-17th centuries. She said once, "I'm always studying," even during breaks and vacations. But she loved it, so it didn't seem like a chore.
    6
  6546. Really like your Honest Reporting 🙏
    6
  6547. 😀 Peeeeee Kaaa Chuuu ⚡⚡ , Congrats on the 1 Year Anming 😸✨✨
    6
  6548. You’re such a friendly person, the kids are so cute reacting to the R2D2 🤩 Your friend is very skilled making such a true to the original robot. Well done to you all 👍🏼
    6
  6549. I thought you were an extrovert
    6
  6550. Wow you went alone this time? Braver then me, however if there is any country to do it in it would be Japan, even in an area like this! Love your videos as always and glad your showing a real part of Japan we don't normally see. Stay safe and hope you and your husband the best!
    6
  6551. Great video
    6
  6552. I think it is important to learn the Japanese mannerism as well.
    6
  6553. They don’t have dramatic reactions, but I think they were still surprised. I envy you speaking Japanese and Chinese so well. I was fun to watch.
    6
  6554. Wow wow..she sounds amazing just like you when speaking Chinese ❤ It was really nice hearing you both speak back and forth.
    6
  6555. YES! See this guy all the time at Yoyogi koen or Omotesando. Thank you for solving that mystery 😂 Love the philosophizing on the go there: we should all get along, like these dogs haha. DEEP!
    6
  6556. when im watching this/your vlogs it gives me inspiration to learn 日本語。
    6
  6557. Thinking language is more about communication and less about perfection. I wish there would be less critiquing language skills but more corrections without fuss.
    6
  6558. Ive always felt uncomfortable using the word for “yours” in canto, similar to mandarin “that” and even korean has a word that sounds like that 😂
    6
  6559. Sou apaixonada pela Cultura do Japão 🇯🇵 ainda terei o prazer de conhecer 🥰
    6
  6560. Thanks so much for the premiere, loved it!

  6561. Omg you just met my idol, love her outfits.

  6563. Tall, blonde, fair-skinned, beautiful, outgoing and friendly, English plus fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, even some Fuzhounese (Min Dong)...visited EVERY prefecture in Japan, know the local idioms, customs, gracious (你真好)...a glowing radiant spirit. The iridescence of the Pearl of your Heart is reflected in the smiles and laughter of each of your encounters with natives who celebrate you (and themselves) in delightful awe at your skills in their difficult languages and dialects. They understand the work, the time, the dedication, and the personal interest YOU invested in THEM to become fluent, to maintain those skills, and to grow in them. It is easy from where I sit to say "One million subscribers is only a number," but I understand how important it is to you, and to us. Remain true to who you are, and one million is just around the corner. You are a Pearl in any language.

  6564. Keep putting out good videos and ignore the idiocy of culture cry babies. If they actually traveled the world, they would see western culture in Asia, Middle East and many other places. Being worn by non westerners as I have seen when working in China and other Asian nations.

  6565. Congratulations! You both are adorable! I hope you many, many great times together in your new place!
    6
  6566. Well I agree with your views and opinions your a very smart intelligent young beautiful lady and to learn these languages are very hard to some and you got both under your belt.
    6
  6567. I’m only a minute and a half in, but I’m already crying because you’re so brave and so kind hearted to cover this topic! This video is so meaningful!
    6
  6568. I’m still envious of your language skills. Of course I haven’t practised as much as you. I don’t know why people think there should be so much surprise that you speak the languages there. When foreigners come here, we aren’t surprised when they speak our language!

  6569. FELIZ ANIVERSARIO ORIENTAL PEARL!!! Es el mejor canal que he podido encontrar en ytb. A lo largo de mi vida académica y profesional he conocido a extraordinarias mujeres en diversos campos de la ciencia. Es un honor verte en tus vídeos, te admiro mucho como mujer y como ser humano. Oriental Pearl no acabará nunca, vivirá siempre en los recuerdos de quienes amamos tus videos.

  6570. For those that are too young, Kill Bill (2003) was a Quentin Tarantino film.

  6571. Can’t wait for the video to premier. Although I already know it’ll be great 😀

  6572. I love your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing these recordings.

  6573. I made it home after the magic three years (four in my case) in Japan! In pursuit of a creer, of all things. Now I have the dreaded office job in my home country and unrealistic dreams of retiring very early. I'll probably end up quitting in a couple years and go teach English again. Paid way less (especially in Japan like you said), but it was a better life. I'd love trying to teach in China actually, though I don't think my (Japanese) fiance would appreciate that idea very much. Thanks for sharing these. Wish I was as open as you interacting with people. What do you do now?
    6
  6574. The same thing happened to me when I went to Korea. I'm not shy, but I'm an introvert who doesn't like socializing; I find it unfun and tiring. In Korea, I made so many friends and accepted all invitations. I even went to karaoke even though my singing voice destroys planets. I guess when you find the right culture, you become reborn into who you really are deep down. Or something.
    6
  6575. I remember when there was a couple who lived in my street from Hong Kong, I think I must’ve only been between 6 - 8. I walked up to them when they were standing outside their house one time and I just started asking them a million questions about where they were from, then they gave me sweets. They were so kind
    6
  6576. I wish I can become as fluent in speaking Japanese as you are. I am currently self-learning myself simple Japanese words and phrases and then repeat them 100x over in my mind for it to stick. Also, I love how you can switch from Japanese to Chinese in an instant. Maybe one day, with a lot of studying and practicing. I can become like you and have an open conversation with Japanese people when I go visit Japan
    6
  6577. Such a beautiful ceremony and reception afterward many happy returns on the day, may your marriage be long and fruitful together.

  6578. Can we stop and appreciate the way this was edited - it was beautifully put together!

  6579. I found you in my recommended about a year ago because of Laoshu505000. It could have been longer. I'm not sure. Either way. I instantly subbed. Your accents are so good. RIP Laoshu.
    6
  6580. A great video with great guest stars. It's been too long but so worth waiting for. You are quite svelte Alyssa.
    6
  6581. I was completely swept away by the music and the image of you pedaling through the streets. It’s mesmerizing sometimes, the way you edit your videos. Thanks again for that sensation of being “taken away”.
    6
  6582. Thank you so much for making video... Now M so inspired for learn Javanese by u 💪❤😘
    6
  6583. Really interesting. I wonder what kind of reaction you would get as you get further from a cosmopolitan area. I've notice that you eat from the food stalls. Have you ever had issues with the food from these venues after the fact? Several of my friends that were raised in Laos and Thailand would go back to their native countries and immediately get very sick from the local cuisine they grew up with.
    6
  6584. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work, Nathan!
    6
  6585. Great video as always Anming! I've never seen this side of Japan. As a long time subscriber, I don't think I've met Tommy yet?!? LOL I look forward to your next video.

  6588. when she said that mascot looks like a cactus and then the guy replied with an Arizona cactus? I just kinda stopped and said I live in Arizona. Yeah idk I just thought that was cool
    6
  6589. It's more likely to happen in a school, because it's very neat to them. Though when it comes to being in public, they don't say anything cause they don't want to be rude. In schools, they get excited cause it's new to them.
    6
  6590. I'd been wondering where you were! Your videos had disappeared from my timeline for nearly a year! Then I saw your post about scammers so I went to your channel... don't give up, you'll get to 1 million. You're such a positive influence. Your dedication and hard work in regards to learning languages is quite inspiring. You're such a lovely girl, so much fun! I wish you all the best.
    6
  6591. This was so wonderful! I am happy for the both of you.

  6592. halloween just seams like a japanese thing more than american, dressing up is what japanese do best, love it....
    6
  6593. Omg you two are so cute together! She's like you little sister!!
    6
  6594. You have a fun energy. And your vids are informative with your intros or just when you’re exploring and talking to people you meet. Maybe there are other polyglots but they usually only show pranks and reactions
    6
  6595. Yes!!! I enjoy watching and learning!! Congratulations to you both! So happy for you two!!
    6
  6596. I am so happy for you!!! Congratulations!!!
    6
  6597. Of course! I'd appericate that a tons.
    6
  6598. Congratulations, wish you and Tommy much happiness! Please don’t stop your videos ❤️ Oh, btw, you look beautiful in your kimono ❤️
    6
  6599. Personal life absolutely adds interest. And since you're both alternately speaking your respective 2nd (or 3rd?) languages, it never strays too far from the pretext for your channel. :^} Also, the aspect of the meeting of cultures (and therefore, ways of thinking) is a third point of interest.
    6
  6600. Happy news is not boring news! What wonderful news. You both will live a long, happy and loving life together. Congratulations Dan D.
    6
  6601. I made it to the end of video bcause i really like Japanese accent and i want to learn speaking Japanese too
    6
  6602. Nice video thank you. You can't win either way. If Americans go to another country and don't make an effort to learn the culture they are labeled typical rude Americans. If you try to honor other cultures then its the backlash you showed.
    6
  6603. Those wide angle shots of the station/streets were beautiful! I feel like your videos transport me into another world every time I watch. Can’t wait til the next one!
    6
  6604. Congratulations! 💮

  6605. He needs to learn Japanese ! I bet a lot of girls would talk to him lol if they knew what he was saying ..
    6
  6606. It's so fun watching everything through Tomi's eyes. You guys are so cute... and Anming's Japanese is improving rapidly. He was clearly sad when he had to leave 😢
    6
  6607. Omg I was so happy when you said you're in Utsunomiya! I spent one year there studying as an exchange student 2 years ago, I really miss the place TT I hope you've tried gyouza in Utsu! :) Really the best!
    6
  6608. That's so cool lol...it's the first time I've seen food served like that...
    6
  6609. When I was there, I learned how to say AHHHHH 5 different ways. I loved the Harajuku and the park! Good language learning points. I always told my friends to please correct me when I am wrong.
    6
  6610. Once I watch your videos, happiness and positive energy come to me🌻love u 🇮🇶
    6
  6611. Its amazing how ur down to kick it with anyone! Love how your channel's growing! U should always mention your location and the business name. I doubt they mind free publicity. I'm sure Chinese people want to know where the best Chinese spots r in JPN. U can do ranking videos, budget challenge videos, and polls in multiple languages. U should also put multiple languages in the title to appeal to different demographics. Lastly, I recommend "Appreciate the effort!" as a translation for "otsukaresan!". Love all your vids, where can your fans support/donate to your channel?

  6612. I've been in that boat before and filled my pockets with napkins full of uneaten foods secretly.

  6616. I've been squashed during rush hour in Tokyo. I'm always amazed with how many people can cram in those subway cars.
    6
  6617. You made a valid point about hearing "Your Chinese is Amazing" so often. People with good hearts (as you know) are eager to compliment "foreigners" that speak as well as you do. They are always smiling :)

  6621. +Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making these videos. I'd love it if you and Tommy went to a Sumo Basho sometime and showed us what that's like. I'd also love to hear Japanese peoples thoughts on Sumo, the scandals and its place in Japanese society through its Shinto and Samurai traditions. Not sure if that's up your alley or if Tommy even likes sumo but I though I'd ask!
    6
  6622. Loved this, congratulations! 🥳🍾 It was cool to see something of your personal life. I get that privacy is important, so never expected an insight! 😊
    6
  6623. Congratulations on reaching this amazing milestone, as a subscriber I can finally say 'I'm one in a Million' :)
    6
  6624. The best thing about your video's is that you use and speak Japanese and Chinese in the way that native speakers actually speak during daily interactions. It is nice to hear language as it is really used. Although because I had planned not to visit Japan due to Olympic crowds, now covid has made Tokyo seem almost empty. I enjoy the real day in life views that you provide. Thanks
    6
  6625. I am so proud of you for posting this video. It was a subject I wasn't able to get any answers to when I lived in Japan in the 80s.
    6
  6626. Thank you for showing. Nice impressions. I didn't know about this place. : )

  6627. I'll be honest I was very surprised by the sight of homelessness in Japan. My first trip to Japan I stayed at my in-laws. They we're living in an iffy part of Osaka at the time. I decided to go for a morning run. Well, I ended up running through a homeless camp. It was a strange experience. They seen me coming and would get out of the way. I felt kind of bad for them. I never felt like they were threatening. Now the homeless in Detroit is another story.
    6
  6628. This was very nice to see you both enjoy such a special day in your lives. I hope you have many fruitful years ahead of you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience in life with us. Have fun on your honeymoon.
    6
  6629. His reaction is so pure and joyful! Glad you could travel home and be w your family for Xmas. お帰り。

  6630. Wow! So amazing that you can speak 2 of the hardest languages for native monolingual english speakers. Do you speak Cantonese? Spanish? French?
    6
  6631. 7:02 and the korean lady is saying "Wait a second" it sounds like she's leading a group

  6632. So cute. My dog has to wear the wrap diapers when in the house. He's 16 and cant hold it as well. Lol
    6
  6633. Cute!!! You and Tommy seemed to have had a great day! Besides getting lost 😅 never fun.

  6634. This was truly wholesome 💜me wishing I was in Japan for Christmas or any holiday

  6635. “You look a little like a Russian.” Have you taken a dna ancestry test? I’m really curious now that I see so many people comment that.

  6636. it’s informative at the time it’s fun to watch
    6
  6637. So short! I want more and more!

  6640. My cheeks hurt from smiling but I also have to hold back tears watching Tommy leave 😢 So many heartfelt emotions. I can not express enough my love for your videos. God Bless you both 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

  6641. My brother and I visited Japan in early 2020 before Covid closed everything down. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was. Our first night in Tokyo we ended up at a bar just before midnight near Kabukichō and a couple of guys come in and we start talking about music for a bit. Later, they tell us the bar is actually a members only bar after midnight. We look at the time, and realize it is just pass midnight. We apologize for staying past midnight and are about to leave when they ask us to stay and buy us a round of drinks. after a bit they asked us if we wanted to get sushi with them and the owner of the bar. We have a very late sushi dinner, and then my brothers and I asked the waiter for the tab because we wanted to pay. Turns out the guys who brought us there payed for everything. The next day we wanted a Japanese style breakfast, so we found a cool place and when we sat down, we noticed the menu was entirely in Japanese and I was going to just choose something at random, luckily the man sitting next to me offered to help us order, and I began talking to him. He then asks if we like beer, and orders us all beers. He finishes his meal and leaves, saying, "welcome to Japan, I hope you have a great vacation". We are gonna leave a few minutes later and when we ask for the bill, it turns out the man bought all of our meals. Everyone was always so nice and very helpful. And I didn't have to pay for my first two meals there.
    6
  6642. It saddens me that Japan has over a thousand people living like this. If you find homeless problems interesting and something people need to know more of. Go to LA California. More then 100,000 homeless just in that one city. All big cities in America is the same. Homeless as far as the eye can see. Even though there is allot of homeless in Japan. They are doing better then most countries with their homeless problem.
    6
  6643. you provide much info and education. i don't nor intend to speak any oriental language, but i love your teaching ways. keep up the marvelous work!
    6
  6644. That how you make friend ? Me : but how ? I'm anxiety ..
    6
  6645. With all people now being instructed not to leave their homes for a while in some countries: It's good that you guys went on a trip together while you still can! Keep posting from home and stay safe! ^_^ I work in health services and I'm starting to get a bit concerned now with how many people have been hospitalized here in Canada! We still have to go to work every day!
    6
  6646. I do not know how I found your channel and am not currently a foreign language student but I am fascinated by your content and experiences. This was a really informative episode. Keep on doing your thing!

  6647. "Just go out and make friends. No need to be shy." Ah, yes, extroverts.

  6648. You 2 together at last... i guess dreams do come true. Ive waited a loooong time for this 👀

  6650. 你太牛逼了吧！會説中文和日文

  6651. Amazing to see the love between the two of you growing so strong. It's a beautiful thing. Wishing you both all the joy and happiness in the world 🙏
    6
  6652. It would be funny if they were actually being paid by the Chinese government. Lol I'm glad they collabed. I love both of their channels💙💜
    6
  6653. I seriously think not only are they shocked but I think in some weird way they appreciate you for learning their language , I think this is so awesome
    6
  6654. Super fun video. I love to see how other cultures celebrate and what their traditions are. Your future in-laws seem great.
    6
  6655. Wow! You are so amazing! Watching people stare at you in awe....with their mouths open....when you speak their language is so fascinating! I'm so jealous! What a wonderful power to have when interacting with other humans! You've definitely earned a subscriber here! 👏🙏

  6656. You forgot to mention Detroit's greatest contribution to the world, Little Caesars. 🍕

  6658. Thank you for this video definitely better treatment in Japan for some homeless then in the USA Blessings ✌️🍀❤️🙏👐❤️💚💜💙
    6
  6659. I hope to see more of him too, it's a shame you don't do any streaming, would love to see you guys all hang out and just talk and answer questions from chat and all that one day, that would be so cool since it's so rare to see a situation like this in Japan where two "Non Japanese" can fluently speak English, Chinese, and Japanese and can talk about these various topics easily that not many other people can.
    6
  6660. I can't speak Japanese to save my life but I understood the elderly conversations without subtitles. I think I watched too much anime...
    6
  6661. She's more rock n roll and confidence than I do ☺️ big up for Lisaaaaa!!! 🔥
    6
  6662. I remember climbing Mt. Tsukuba when a field trip full of children kept telling their teacher about the "gaikokujin" they saw. So for fun I got them to start cheering "Gaikokujin! Gaikokujin!" as I ran up the mountain. Interacting with kids over there was always fun.
    6
  6663. Wow you are levelling up, you make Moses happy with that
    6
  6664. I think that’s pretty awesome ❤️❤️🎉

  6665. Very impressive.

  6666. Pretty cool the fact that you can really enjoy JP culture a lil bit every single day and feel like a part of it. Good luck for you,nice videos!

  6669. All your awesome videos make me smile and ultimately I realized I really want to go to Japan. Everyone should go to a foreign country and experience the culture, the food and immerse themselves in everyday life. Great video. Dan Dahill
    6
  6670. Assuming we continue to advance and enter the “space age” in which we travel planet to planet like Star Wars. English is currently at the top of the list (with Mandarin probably being second place) of being our planetary language.
    6
  6671. Watching you speak Mandarin is so inspiring to watch. I am Chinese-American but I can't speak mandarin and I always feel it is too late for me to learn. I am studying French and Korean, and when I watch your videos I see you have learned so many languages I get motivated to start learning Mandarin again!
    6
  6672. Like your honesty in your videos, it's very refreshing!
    6
  6673. +10 for more vids about working in a Japanese marketing firm! (I was kinda amazed by how uncrowded the trains were. Is that because of COVID? I’ve been there many times and have almost never seen train cars that empty unless I was pretty far out from the main part of Tokyo. But it seemed they were pretty empty even close to your work location.)
    6
  6674. I have being your fan since day one
    6
  6675. This is probably irrelevant, but I'm currently studying Japanese, and not gonna lie, I'm a little proud of myself for being able to pick up on words and phrases from your conversation at the beginning of the video! Progress is progress, even if it's only a little! :)
    6
  6676. I learned Japanese over the last 15 or so years, so I'm comfortable with that language, but this is the first time I started to understand some of the Chinese as well. Funny how much you pick up from just being exposed to the language a lot.
    6
  6677. Nice seeing kids being kids.
    6
  6678. When I go to Japan, I often like to go far off the beaten path to visit very rural parts of Japan where foreigners are rarely seen. Having grown up in Tokyo during the 1960s, I speak Japanese like a native which really elicits a puzzled look at first. But once they realize that the Japanese culture was also ingrained in me from that experience, they quickly feel "safe" and open up. Such interactions with people in the rural areas are always a highlight on my visits there.
    6
  6679. I was the one who pointed out first your Japanese has a “more” Chinese accent than American accent. Interestingly, your Chinese sounds like an overseas Chinese (namely Shanghainese) who stayed in Japan for many years.
    6
  6680. I thought you were the coolest girl in Japan?It's easy to walk up to people and talk.Even more so if you speak the language.
    6
  6681. Anming: "He wants me to eat pig ear" Michigan girl coming out: "Oh my Gawd" 😂😂 No worries, YouTube's mid-stream ads should bring you $$$.
    6
  6682. The social distancing on the trains was brilliant, I doubt London will ever see that level of caution although it would be almost impossible to police, if only they could.
    6
  6683. Also your guide is fantastic! 😊素晴らしかった🥳
    6
  6684. Happy new year. Looking forward for another wonderful year ahead... ❤️❤️

  6690. Dunno about China but in Japan I just accepted that if I ever want to use a dryer then I'm going to a coin laundry lol. I think it's more of an American thing to always use them for convenience, my mother in England would always hang clothes out in summer because running a dryer is expensive she said lol. Dryer was for rainy days and for drying sheets but when I moved out I basically always used one because I had no back yard for hanging clothes. Do now but we have a coin laundry round the corner and I'm lazy so I just go there. I'm probably not saving money by doing my clothes there but it's convenient and the nice old lady even irons your shirts for you when they are done. Asia has a lot of older people who don't bother with retirement unless they are super rich. They are probably able to live in a state of semi retirement and earn an extra bit of money to keep themselves busy. In China seems people will offer random services, in Japan we have a lot of old people who hold a glowing stick or work as token security where they don't actually have to do anything but sit in a booth. Everyone needs something so it's good if there is somebody willing to do it.
    6
  6691. I've had that experience with a rural restaurant- all the staff came and sat with us, and even tried giving us our order on the house. Some of the older guys wanted to practice their English on us. I don't think I've ever laughed so much.

  6692. Yasss a new video!!! ❤️

  6693. When I lived in Japan, we always built a snowman with 3 levels...what changed in Japan!? At any rate, good video, great roommates... stay safe.
    6
  6694. Loved this video, especially seeing how happy you made those kids, that's what it's all about. As for your "real talk" I totally agree you should do YOU, don't worry about other YouTubers and whatever content they are putting out there. Yes, on YouTube a lot of people go for the "shock" factor and it will get them views and subs, but so will great videos & stories like this. Waiting for you to hit 10k subs...so happy I was here when you just passed 1k! Keep up the good content.
    6
  6695. Being Belgian.....knowing at least 3 languages is the standard..... i didn’t realise that makes me a polyglot. Dutch, french and English are taught in all schools.... German is an option, but since it’s so similar to Dutch I understand a lot and I know some basic phrases.
    6
  6696. Hi I love your japanese skills to interact with others I'm studying japanese too to visit someday soon.
    6
  6697. In my experience, they usually have more of a reaction if they're traveling outside of Japan and they meet a foreigner who speaks Japanese.

  6703. How impressed you were with the Japanese lady speaking Chinese so well Pearl, now you know how we feel when we watch you doing it, the only difference being that we cannot understand Chinese.
    6
  6704. Pretty sure we drank 2-3 bottles of sparkling wine for breakfast that day too.

  6705. 10:43 that is the most relatable thing i've heard in a while.

  6707. Yasss! Love JJ's channel! <3 Very happy to see this collab! And so many great points brought up. I'm sure my parents question my love of languages like some of your family did. I hate things about my country and a lot of stuff I like to change, but I don't hate it entirely. All countries have their flaws. Being interested in languages doesn't mean "Fuck America". I just like learning them. I wish I had the means to be more dedicated to them, tbh.

  6708. Aww, i caught myself smiling throughout, so wholesome
    6
  6709. So happy for you both congratulations.
    6
  6710. Why are you downplaying yourself? So glad your doing your own thing. Maybe get rid of the background music while you’re reading. I found it too distracting. Thanks!
    6
  6711. Kids are just so precious! It’s really funny and cute when they get all curious about people
    6
  6712. Never clicked so fast Ur absolutely amazing! Greetings from Yemen 🇾🇪
    6
  6713. Never seen serving food this way. A wild imagination. 😄
    6
  6714. Two of my goals are properly learning japanese and overcoming my social anxiety, you´re inspiring me to pursue both of them, thank you very much!
    6
  6715. Well honestly if there is a reason for me to live in Japan, it's because I love Anime and would love to enhance my skills in drawing.
    6
  6716. I remember talking with you on hellotalk once! Your videos are great! I wanted to ask in Japanese one word can have different meanings based on the context. How did you overcome this for listening.
    6
  6717.  @OrientalPearl  This. Most people might feel that you may be offended if they corrected you. OP, I suggest you tell them straight up to feel free to correct your mistakes. Only then would they generally feel more comfortable to do this.
    6
  6718. I love how we're able to have a glimpse of your casual and personal life and at the same time learn more about the little things in Japan. Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️ keep it up 👍👍👍
    6
  6719. I'm an Indonesian who likes languages and Japanese is one of my favourite one. Learning Mandarin a while back but quite struggling with the tones and all of those kanji letters. Now I'm into German and it's been wonderful. I've been watching Laoshu's and other poliglot's videos for quite some time now and find yours interesting. Would love to see more videos like this and in longer duration. Stay safe and healthy anywhere you are Pearl!
    6
  6720. The only one reason why No one talk bad is..because you're genuinely awesome
    6
  6721. My daughter is also half Japanese and looks completely western, we have a similar experience when we are in Japan.
    6
  6722. Earthquakes are normal here in California, just like the japanese people there.
    6
  6723. Congratulations!! Being married is awesome! I wish you both many years of happiness together. <3
    6
  6724. Both "elements" are great! Keep up the good work, I love your channel!
    6
  6725. I originally subscribed so I could listen to your Japanese language to help with mine, but your sunny personality kept me coming back. I enjoy seeing your travels around Japan and the culture (which is why I'm learning, once the borders on New Zealand and Japan are wide open I'm coming over.) I don't have a problem with the content becoming less language heavy. P.S. Tommy's so nice, he should feature in all your videos.
    6
  6726. Can we just say how in shape and strong he is to carry them and talk??💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
    6
  6727. Speaking all these languages also open doors when you meet fellow speakers of a language. I travelled with a friend in the US and Canada who speaks fluent Spanish. We would be in the most remote places where we ran into the rare person who spoke Spanish. They hooked us up with free food at restaurants, free ice for our coolers, help if we got stranded, and even invites for home cooked meals and BBQs.
    6
  6728. Japanese are one of the most intelligent people in this world. Systematic, methodical, and future oriented.
    6
  6729. I remember venturing through these very places on my adventure in Japan last fall. It's so nice to see everyone/thing doing well. Cheers!
    6
  6730. Whoa! That’s cool!
    6
  6731. Safe travels! If you ever hit Tennessee, wave as you pass thru!
    6
  6732. I love these videos, it's interesting to see the range of reactions people can have, and their personalities! I'm excited for the expansion you mentioned, it sounds like fun :)
    6
  6733. In Finland too, everyone says “bye bye” instead of “bye” in English, and to say goodbye in Finnish they often say “hei hei”...the double words is in other places as well!
    6
  6734. I want to jump from an airplane 😝✈️ maybe when is summer here. I know my father has jump a lot of times but that's because he was in the airforce. Hello 👋 from Paraguay
    6
  6735. I am smiling for the whole video. Thanks!
    6
  6736. I like anime and manga and all that, but I want to go to Japan because it’s genuinely beautiful. I also want to learn Japanese because I think it’s a fascinating language. I hope to live there someday too. Their culture is also very interesting and pretty.
    6
  6737. I'm soo envious of you. I'm trying to learn Chinese and Japanese. I know Korean and English well. I understand Tamil and Hindi too. I know a bit of Spanish and French too.
    6
  6738. You are so outgoing and friendly to all, keep up the great work!
    6
  6739. Your video made me happy, I love the reaction of the people is very funny love always the interactions have a nice day I enjoyed this one so much.
    6
  6740. Even someone working in a peaceful temple can't escape from our amazing walking translator! :D
    6
  6741. Does anyone else get sore cheeks from smiling thru these videos?
    6
  6742. You two balance eachother out very well - always nice to see and live vicariously through you both in the beauty of Japan : ) Glad you've both met each others parents now. Is the trip to America going to be a road trip or a particular city/state? Have fun :D
    6
  6743. Someone tell me the part she wouldn’t translate lol
    6
  6744. If you're ever looking for a career change, I feel like you'd be an amazing Foreign Service Officer!
    6
  6745. Another great video ❤️ I hardly ever miss one...Thank you for still keeping your channel open. From your fan in Indiana 😊
    6
  6746. Yall hilarious! Love these vlogs with Tommy! Glad Tommy had a good time in my home-town. YAAAAAY 👏👏lulz. Note: 3:50 yes, Chicago's subway experience has degraded a looot, especially since Covid... Redline is literally the least upkept unfortunately, especially downtown. Constantly smells like piss >.<
    6
  6747. Keep it up!! Love watching these videos. I speak English and Cantonese, and can speak conversational mandarin and really enjoy the work you put into this channel.
    6
  6748. I am so glad that your mother got to visit Japan. She looked so happy to see you and it was so nice that she learned some Japanese and your father in law learned some English. I hope your husband has a good time in America.
    6
  6749. Love love love Katie's hair. I'm almost there with mine. Love it! Her fro is killin' it. Wow
    6
  6750. Yes Japan has so much to give but it's too expensive while in the Philippines you can get it so much cheaper.......
    6
  6751. DOPE! I really love your pronunciation! thank you for this!
    6
  6752. To be honest i found this channel because I had just started learning Japanese during lockdown! I am going to give Japanesepod a look. P.s another great video!
    6
  6753. Thank you for giving us a peek into your life! Congratulations to you both. watching your journey has been amazing, I cant wait to continue watching ❤
    6
  6754. I love the interactions you share. So real, pure, and beautiful.
    6
  6755. Ur editing is rlly good!!
    6
  6756. Great channel! ❤️ Keep up the good work! 😊
    6
  6757. Call it the "Mexican Beer-virus" and wink.. 😉
    6
  6758. "Fluency illusion." Great description. The quest to become a polyglot causes much stress. Studying for fun and interest is the key. Checklists, tallies, competition to have more languages may cause the goal to be winning, not mastery of your craft. Good job bringing this up. Thank you. Love of a language is a long term marathon. The learning "quickly" attitude is a reflection of a society bent on instant gratification, superficiality and "money can fix everything" mentality. Enjoying the journey can be enjoyable if not tainted by the stress of "quick" and perfect correct.
    6
  6759. 3:06 the moment you started speaking English, she abruptly became freaky and nervous and acted like as if you were invisible. Like duh! She was not gonna eaten by you! 😓
    6
  6760. Thank you so much for sharing this. We have the same problem in Tasmania Australia. I can’t donate but I can at least follow his YouTube channel. The world is failing its young people.
    6
  6761. i love watching your videos. i'm going to start studying mandarin soon because of this lol also really want some of those snacks and food you're always buying 👀 it makes me so hungry
    6
  6762. You'd feel like a celebrity in China, everyone wants a picture with Anming! It was so cool to see the Yi people performing in those outfits by happenstance. Those vehicles looked so cool all decorated driving through Malaysia.💜 Poor Tommy, he felt left out wanting a hug too. You said it right "You don't speak Cantonese no hug for you." LOL 😂 The cab driver was shocked and impressed by your language-speaking skills, he wasn't expecting you to speak Mandarin at all! I'm interested in trying a Mangosteen after you say they're so good, I still want to try one. I can't find them in my grocery store perhaps an asian market would sell them? Now we're talking, free merch from the rickshaw. Now you have the drip and style to represent 😎
    6
  6763. Even though it may be his native language, but Finnish is one the most hardest languages in the world and he is a polyglot who has a job rather learning languages all day. I am absolutely baffled
    6
  6764. What an amazing woman! An amazing timing for this video as well as I myself intend in a couple of months to go and build my life in Japan. I've learned their language and cultural differences so that I know what I'm doing right or wrong. I hope I can finally find a good woman that I can marry and hopefully have children.
    6
  6765. 17 min is fine. I personally can't go too long without breaks and maybe skimming through. I'm sure you have done some research but the typical 3-5 min clips on YouTube is the norm, but I don't think it fits your channel and content. But overall I feel your team has done a great job with the content.
    6
  6766. i really love how talkative and friendly you're (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧
    6
  6767. Everyday i Write in Engrish on Youtube...
    6
  6768. I'm learning Danish right now and I will have my final exam in a few months! I'm so excited and a little nervous, but my teachers are amazing. In my free time, I read the news in Danish, watch some Danish TV and sometimes even Duolingo haha
    6
  6769. Working on Arabic. My teacher says she's very impressed with my progress so far. !ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
    6
  6770. I been learning Japanese for close to a year now, I don't give up, it is said to be one of the hardest languages to learn, but my love for it keep me going. You inspire me to keep going. By the way, I am subscribed and I watch all the way to the end.
    6
  6771. I studied mandarin in university, then did Duolingo for years, even lived in China for six years - but still never became “conversational” just basically functional. Never tried Pimsler though. Sometimes I think my brain just won’t do this languages thing… I know just a little bit of so many languages but not enough of any languages to make real connections with people

  6773. An Ming got picked up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    6
  6774. I started learning Japanese for a few months and honestly thought I wasn’t making any progress, however I watched this video and it turns out I was impressed at how much I can understand based from your conversations. I am strongly motivated to keep studying now, ありはとう！:) 🙏
    6
  6775. Love your videos! I can’t wait to visit Japan one day. I learn so much!
    6
  6776. I've been learning Japanese for two years, and I definitely agree reading is HARD. The writing isn't so bad (maybe because I like writing in general), but reading (especially the kanji) is a struggle. There's always a little delay between reading Japanese & my brain translating it. I read like a 6 year old LOL word by word. But speaking is pretty fun and much easier than it first was.
    6
  6777. So excited for you both!! God bless you both abundantly ❤❤❤🥳🥳🥳
    6
  6778. Watching from Greece. Love your videos im obsessed !!!
    6
  6779. Thanks!
    6
  6780. I’m so happy for you guys! You deserve this long-standing happiness
    6
  6781. I met a couple of kids when going to Japan they were giving presentations to foreigners about their country and they handed out pine cones as goodie bags they were so cute!! I still keep it too
    6
  6782. Funny, I don't feel like your videos are low quality. I feel like the editing is quite good and you do an amazing job with what you have. PS - I also think the reason you've been so successful is that your quality is good enough and your content is amazing and you get out your videos quite quickly. So don't listen to the negative comments. Keep doing what you're doing.
    6
  6783. When I hear someone is a "polyglot" I expect the person to speak a language fluently with a NATIVE territorial accent or with an almost extremely non-existent foreign accent. Not someone who speaks fluently yet their accent is so strong you can tell they are a foreigner the moment the say ah. The very definition of being a polyglot should be someone being able to speak at least 3 languages at a mothertongue level. Not bragging about 20+ languages and then finding out... that their pronunciation is often at an elementary level, or plainly bad.
    6
  6784. The view from the balcony is insane. I feel like jumping if I live there 😌 You lived in the share house alone when the rest moved back to China?
    6
  6785. Literally translated things sometimes sound so amusing in our language haha Good job for trying it. Our Chinese language students found it amusing.
    6
  6786. can you make a video on how to apply to fudan university? I‘m a bit confuesd 😅
    6
  6787. Curious, as an English speaker did you find Mandarin or Japanese harder to learn? Or is it hard to answer since you knew a lot of the Chinese characters in Japanese from your knowledge of Mandarin? I'd kill to understand Mandarin but I'm currently self-studying Japanese and that's plenty hard already. Maybe one day if I ever get good at JP I'll give Mandarin a shot though. Must have taken forever to learn to pick out the tones in Mandarin.
    6
  6788. Anming thanks for showing the Halloween at Shibuya in Tokyo. Got to say many more excellent well made costumes than I think you'd see in North America. The cameraman for Japanese television eyes lit up when he found a Beatrix Kiddo lookalike who can give Uma Thurman a run for her money, and was fluent in Japanese. You'll have to let us know if you actually make it to broadcast. They will shoot a lot of B roll for things like this and only show maybe sixty to ninety seconds. Was as usual a great slice of life in Japan, and you all looked like you were enjoying yourself.
    6
  6789. Everyone was blown away by your linguistic skills.:) Amazing! I think the Chinese sign you held in the beginning of the video reads from right to left, thus 五福临门 or "five happiness arrive at the door." When you lived in China, you might have seen this kind of signs written this way on public gates/walls–an ancient way. But once the writing becomes an article, it would go from top to bottom and right to left. Only modern Chinese reads from left to right. Great video!
    6
  6790. Wow we are really enjoying your life’s journey Joe n Christina
    6
  6791. You have a great heart, and no many people will do that. You're an angel .
    6
  6792. When Anming said she was a student of Waseda Uni, aii Japanese kids said "Wow!" or "So cool!".👍🥂😍❤🌟🎉🐪😊
    6
  6793. Love coming back from school and seeing that you posted! I admire you! Knowing multiple languages is amazing! ❤️
    6
  6794. I find that the vast majority of Youtube celebrities speaking Chinese have a very strong accent. I was very surprised that her pronunciation is extremely good and often indistinguishable from native speakers. She's the real deal.
    6
  6795. Fantastic ! You and your family were the perfect hosts! This trip for Tommy should give him a deeper understanding of your love for him and his family. I've been waiting for this video when you first announced you two were coming back to Michigan. I'm sure he gained some weight after Frankenmuth famous chicken dinners. Thank you so much for allowing us to travel along with you and Tommy.
    6
  6796. I have watched many utubers so far telling they can speak like 10,11,12,13.... language but all their Chinese are not good . So,you are the first one am satisfied with .加油 !
    6
  6797. I love your vlogs. So raw and energetic
    6
  6798. I am Dutch. One day I want to go to Japan as a tourist. And for that reason alone one day I want to learn the actual language. I think that will make my holiday there much more pleasant.
    6
  6799. Japan looks so fun on halloween im must go sometime!
    6
  6800. Your vids are literally part of my "Vim goes to Japan" Starter pack. I've learnt so much already LOL
    6
  6801. Detroit does have a bad reputation globally so I'm glad it's getting back on it's feet. Heidelberg project seems fun and colourful. To me Detroit seems like Chicago. I used to spend a lot of time there, in the more poor neighbourhoods, where my ex is from.
    6
  6802. 外国の人が謙遜するのは可愛い😇
    6
  6803. Your mom looks so young!! The parents meeting from different cultures is very interesting to see.
    6
  6804. Loved this especially the piano duet that had that women swaying to the music.
    6
  6805. I really enjoyed this discussion! The one about fluency really hit home. I went to a Francophone school and speak French as a second language (as much as I want to say I'm fluent, I'm far from perfect, so I'll just say I'm good), and when some people find out they say "oh I can too!" When I try to engage in a conversation, I find out that they only know certain phrases, and have a hard time understanding. This disappoints me, especially when they say they're fluent. We learn it in regular school here in Canada, but from what I've heard it's basic and everybody just forgets everything they've learned. It honestly makes me sad when people pretend that they're so good, because speaking to others is the main way I upkeep my French. If someone wants to show what they've learned, by all means, I'd love to hear it! But saying they can speak it makes me feel like I can't help them learn (it's hard to explain...)

  6806. I live in Ohio. My only Chinese connection was a trip to Hong Kong in the early 70's. However, I usually have at least 20 to 30 types of ramen in my cupboard from a local chinese store. SO many flavors, SO easy to fix. I understand your choices completely.
    5
  6807. If u ever get the chance, try the apple pie kit kats, if they still have them. They are my favorite, haha.
    5
  6808. Warning. For some reason Oriental Pearl videos are addicting. Don't know why but they are.
    5
  6809. You just swallowed the whole egg tart in one go!🤣🤤
    5
  6810. I don't know why, but I'm becoming addicted to your channel. Maybe because you are down to Earth and have a goofy sense of humor like me. I also enjoy seeing just day-to-day stuff which a lot of other people don't focus on. That's the stuff I get a kick out of when I travel -- like what's different in a grocery store and what do they sell? Anyway, keep them coming. 😊
    5
  6811. awww I am SO happy for you! Finally after all of this time he can meet your family! I:m sure he will enjoy! and CONGRATULATIONS
    5
  6812. I've seen a lot of cringe in my day, but this is something truly special.
    5
  6813. Those are some nasty ears, but your long, flowing hair is amazing!
    5
  6814. nice editing and sound effects. :yt:
    5
  6815. 9:17 no... it's not enough... it's really esay to make friends when you are friendly and communicative...)))
    5
  6816. I heard that teaching Chinese kids is difficult because they have a "little prince" entitlement mentality.
    5
  6817. I’m a little unclear: does he speak advanced level Finish, English and Japanese and less advanced Mandarin only? I somehow got the impression he also spoke other languages (even those 4 are amazing) but did I misunderstand? And if he DOES speak other languages, even at just intermediate level, what are they? I’m curious how he came to chose Japanese and then Mandarin, the reasons. I’m assuming he learned English in Europe.
    5
  6818. Congratulations! 🍾🎉

  6819. Im gald i found this channel ❤❤❤

  6821. I live in the UK, and we have a Sri Lankan national working on site with us to be a liaison with his company. He should have left 2 months ago and is stuck here. His company is trying to get a flight home for him, but when he does return back to Sri Lanka he needs to go into quarantine for 21 days, in a hotel that he has to pay half for (His company is paying the other half). His working Visa has expired already and he is very stressed. His family is also very worried about him as the UK is one of the worst hit places in the world for Covid.
    5
  6822. Glad to hear you want to learn Vietnamese! I'm a native speaker myself and I can barely speak it lol. Personally I think it's an extremely difficult language but you're already so talented that I don't think it'll be much of a challenge for you!
    5
  6823. Oh heck yeah new video!
    5
  6824. Ahhh, loved this video! Lisa is so stylish and cute! Love the questions you made too! とにかく、僕は独身です(笑) LOL

  6825. Mixed race people are truly beautiful. Nice video this was very interesting
    5
  6826. most anime and manga are set on high school, because most readers/viewers are high schoolers (or somewhere near) and NO, highschool is not that amazing, that is why they read/watch it.
    5
  6827. When i traveled to Japan i accidentally meet with a buch of kids of elementary school, i just stuck my tongue out at them and made them a funny face, they just laughed. Kids are very similar no caring the country.
    5
  6828. I’ m from Japan and got a private license of teaching Japanese. In China, there are a lot of Japanese teaching jobs and I want to live there for one or two year to learn and experience the completely different culture. But if I do it, my career will be over and I don’t think teaching Japanese to foreigners is a proper career even though I found a job in a national university over there.
    5
  6829. LOL!!! is there an age limit for drinking alcohol over there? Congrats on 5K SUBS!

  6830. Both are such beautiful languages Love their melodies

  6831. Thanks for the videos. My grandmother is Japanese

  6832. Congrats on finishing your master's degree! That must have been extra difficult with all of the covid-related curveballs you had to deal with. Best of luck with the job hunt!
    5
  6833. I always wanted to go to China, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and still do. By me being 55 years old and this Damn Virus, probably going to take a little longer haha. BTW congrats the Degree :)
    5
  6834. Great video! I only saw a few homeless during my short stay but I was in the heavily tourist locations. The police in those areas seemed very on top of getting them out of the public eye or preventing them from panhandling.
    5
  6835. My chinese teacher speaks 4 languages (Mandarin, Hokkien, Filipino and English) while teaching shuo hua. And I'm like what 0.0...?
    5
  6836. Awesome video, reason why I don't assume anyone's ethnicity. People assume about me an It does get frustrating sometimes having to explain but watching this keeps my head up higher. Thank's Anming & JJ
    5
  6837. You’re so amazing! I would definitely like to learn Chinese or another language!!

  6838. 🥰I'm late but you look stunning and I really like this style of video. :D I love you guys together so much!!

  6842. fyi in japan and china the word fat is not meant as an insult or to make fun of people of bigger weight, unlike in america people react to being called fat totally different because it's mostly used as an insult or to make fun of a person.
    5
  6843. This video looks different from your usual ones. Very interesting edit as it is from his point of view first. Only comment is “dude needs to level up his rap skills”.
    5
  6844. "subscribing makes trolls cry" XD love it
    5
  6845. Good pep talk at the end. I am learning Finnish, and about to embark on Japanese 😍
    5
  6846. You are a linguist! Such difficult languages to learn but it’s so nice to be able to speak to different people in their own language, you can really immerse yourself in the culture that way.
    5
  6847. Just stumbled across this video and I love your energy she editing style. Looking forward to more! Btw both of you are so grorgous. I honestly never knew that jobs like it techs and engineering were actually Lower paying jobs to have in Japan compared to other countries for foreigners which is crazy
    5
  6848. Encountering a foreigner in a land far away from home who actually speaks the same language is always a delightful surprise. Another accomplished mission!...
    5
  6849. We woke up to 5 inches of snow and a stay-at-home order from Gov. Whitmer here in Kalamazoo.

  6850. OK now I want to go there!

  6851. You look beautiful in A Kimono Anming 🦊 Glad you had a nice day there 😀

  6852. Anming💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 so glad you are back 💯💯

  6853. I was not expecting a new video for a couple of weeks, because like you have been going full tilt boogie on Korean for the last month. How foolish of me to doubt the amazing Anming, who can always accomplish a little more. This video just left me grinning like an idiot, as you lived your day to day in Korea mixing and matching languages. Your experience was so much fuller because you were able to really able interact with people. You're fearless just do it attitude pays dividends, because real life is never as scary as you expect it to be. Not being as accomplished as you would like to be in a second or multiple languages shouldn't make one reluctant to try to use the language, because that's how you improve, by doing. However at least in my case it make me hesitant because of my belief that I'll sound stupid and embarass myself. However, when I've tried people are usually very encouraging and polite. It's a me problem that I'm working on overcoming. A great video, as always. It is damn inspiring, and greatly entertaining to view. I already want more of your content.

  6854. Well, according to all the likes you’re getting on this vid, watching all of your vids I can make the assessment that your skills on both languages is next level I think? 😄 I gotta say; it really shines in this video though. Very dope!
    5
  6855. Just been fishing through your videos, starting with your newer Japan stuff. Really enjoy your take, fun and engaging. Cheers.
    5
  6856. Anming, Super Cool video! Hope you get to 150K and then 200K. I'll be watching and learning.
    5
  6857. Even Halfu such as myself gets this kind of treatment even though I was born and raised there.
    5
  6858. This was a fun video! I've only experienced one earthquake while visiting Japan. I woke up at 5 am in my Airbnb to what I thought was strong wind. I didn't realize it was an earthquake until my friends in the US asked me if I was ok. 😅
    5
  6859. I’m excited for the next episode!!! You guys make such a great couple!
    5
  6860. Love your fake laughter at 3:09! 🙃😂
    5
  6861. The kids and teens reactions are cute to see them how happy they are. You know how it feels that you see their natural reaction because of their 1st time seeing it even me if I see it in person I'll be shock and excited to get a picture of an amazing robot maker. 🤩🥰🤖 💁‍♀️ By the way I enjoy watching your video! 👌 I'll be looking forward to your exciting more videos😁. Hello from Philippines 🇵🇭 👋🙋‍♀️
    5
  6862. I'm learning English, Japanese and Chinese at the same time. I'm not an advanced english learner and just a beginner in Chinese and Japanese. Your videos are really amazing and exactly what i'm looking for. Your videos not only help me improve my english but they also offer a lot of super useful tips for my Chinese and Japanese learning process. Furthermore, you motivate me a lot. Thank you very much for the videos. Wish you have a wonderful day and i always support other new videos from you. <3
    5
  6863. Those people were so sweet, they all complimented you, and the Japanese ladies seemed genuinely interested in learning Chinese!😆😆
    5
  6864. There are a lot more to do and to see in Beijing comparing to Tokyo.
    5
  6865. Oooh, the dictation suggestion is one I hadn’t thought of! Thanks for the tips :)))
    5
  6866. I love how you caught them off guard. They were genuinely surprised! I'm pretty sure they really meant it when they said your Chinese was good.
    5
  6867. Thank you loved this episode. @oriental pearl
    5
  6868. Just a short train ride north of Nagoya is Inuyama-jo, which is one of the 12 castles in Japan that still has its original keep and is very impressive.
    5
  6869. Congratulations, and wish you both the best of everything and much prosperity!
    5
  6870. im chinese, but im not japanese, but i still think its great that you're loving the culture of japan
    5
  6871. Strong and inspirational video today Anming. Thank You!
    5
  6872. Sometimes if I really like some bag/skirt/jacket I wanna ask where I can buy the same but I never do it😂
    5
  6873. What i really enjoy is not only your language skill, but the cultural lessons. No one else provides that. Which is extremely useful 👍👍
    5
  6874. Ohayou 🇯🇵😍❤ my love , you is beautiful
    5
  6875. Anming, watching your videos is like opening a door to experience. What will life present next? Love how you encounter life, and share it with viewers. Your editing doesn't process out the energy. Enjoyed watching you and Andre(?) and your dueling cams lol. Thank you both🌻💛🌟
    5
  6876. ah i've been waiting for this! :D nostalgic seeing your old apartment from your older vids. nonetheless, onto bigger and better things as you stated! congrats to you both and your new journey together.
    5
  6877. Love your vids!
    5
  6878. Ah good a new video. Will check it later when i have more time.
    5
  6879. I learnt okinawan dialect now im studying the mainland dialect so i can travel to the places i want to go to and know the dialect in the place in which karate originated
    5
  6880. What an EXQUISITE shirt! Is she wearing silk? I am delighted, truly so!
    5
  6881. Oriental Pearl how are you doing? I had to hold out & take my break from studying you're right jumping from Arabic to Japanese back and forth it turned out to be very difficult for me but I am not willing to give up that easy 😔 I'm not a quitter I'm a doer lmao that's just an update
    5
  6882. I literally watched a video from her yesterday and I already see you making a collab with her, lol. That was FAST
    5
  6883. I love ur accent 😂💔 R u really from Michigan?!
    5
  6884. You should be the President big America. The the world will be.more understanding and peaceful
    5
  6885. The people from Harbin in your videos seem very warm and charismatic. Always a treat when you find someone from the NE. Though at the moment other languages are priority for me, i'm enjoying picking up Chinese words from your videos like "thank you" and all the variations of agreement sounds like yeah, uh-huh, mmhm, etc. Thanks for another video and lots of health to you and yours!
    5
  6886. i couldn’t stop smiling this video! it makes me happy to see you together, and congrats on your engagement! i love your content, keep it up.
    5
  6887. Wow, that was certainly good!
    5
  6888. To not being able hit the target for a whooping 6 months and still continue is a great dedication. I'm self taught on archery and its been 5 years since i last practiced. Even after a week when i first started I was able to hit targets as far as the targets in this video so it feels weird. to hear that.
    5
  6889. Its lovely to see japan is back to normal, while here in my country we're back to quarantine.
    5
  6890. Wowowow, your multilingual skills and your channel are amazing. Brought tears to my eyes. Subscribed.
    5
  6891. Great video and you both are amazing people
    5
  6892. Detroit girls know how to scrap lol
    5
  6893. 英語上手いね！His English is really amazing, given that his parents only speak Japanese to him. He sounds like a native English speaker. No accent at all, good grammar.
    5
  6894. Awesome video 👌👏👏👏. Was it really 17 mins? I really couldn't tell time. I felt like video ended early 🙃... Small suggestion : Next time add some bloopers as well... Got your facebook link will subscribe there as well 🙏 Be safe 👍
    5
  6895. Keep your positive attitude. Times like these really show peoples’ character, and reveal the heroes and villains that have been hidden amongst us this whole time.
    5
  6896. Cover for bullying or hostility, and the dumbest movement ive seen, It’s the culture in a country and if they like the country enough to move there actually should blend a bit It’s borderline disrespectful to go there and reject all the culture food ways of life not even try learn the language
    5
  6897. This is late but you're awesome, love your channel, keep it up! You inspire me to keep learning languages and I really appreciate the little pep talks that you give encouraging us to be our authentic selves. 👍❤
    5
  6898. Happy Valentines Day!!! I always enjoy your videos and Tommy content is super appreciated. I really enjoyed seeing you play the instrument.
    5
  6899. I LOVE YOUR VIDEO 📹 Flawlees person=Flawlees Video
    5
  6900. This is crazy. Next year my goal is defo going to japan.
    5
  6901. Oh that was way too funny 😂😂😂 But also makes you think about certain things. Very good job as always. 👏👏👏
    5
  6902. For me its the other way around, i become super introvert when i talk to the people in the country were i live.
    5
  6903. I wonder what you think about immersion programs. There's a language immersion summer program near me, and I'm wondering if it would be a great way to learn, or a frustrating experience (once on campus, you're not allowed to utter a single non-taught language word). Currently, I'm working on the Michel Thomas course, and it feels right for me. Oh, and Pimsleur too. And I gotta say, when you said "Don't be afraid to make mistakes", I felt you were one crumbly rocky misstep away from a disaster falling off a cliff. Glad you made it.
    5
  6904. I hope it's good stuff and not bad 🥺 but even if it's bad. I womder if it's a good or a bad thing to know, because at least if you don't know you won't really care but if you do know.... You can go up to them and scare them by telling them in the language taht you know what they said 🤣 I'm actually pretty exited for this video to see what happens!
    5
  6905. What a coincidence I'm also from Michigan and we both lived in Harbin that's cool. Lockdown starts tomorrow so that's gonna suck though. My only real option is to periodically get care packages from my family because a lot of the necessities I need are constantly being sold out where I live :( I miss all my friends a lot.
    5
  6906. Longtime subscriber here - this is amazing, and thank you for sharing your life's journey with us all! You inspire us to reach beyond our perceived limitations. All the best to You & Tommy!
    5
  6907. This is one of your best videos for knowledge, listening practice, and motivation. But to master HSK 6 in three years many people I know who did just that lived in China. I do plan on making the move once the borders open up.
    5
  6908. What’s the best vacation spot in Japan?
    5
  6909. Well now I'd say, Chinese people are so friendly if you speak Chinese to them....
    5
  6910. See, this is why it's different for guys. Girls can go up to strangers and make conversation easily. For guys, a good chunk of people will assume you've got some kind of nefarious intent. Guilty until proven innocent. 🙄
    5
  6911. Very well edited, thank you.
    5
  6912. youtube儿 哈哈哈
    5
  6913. You're life is so inspiring to me. I was lucky to work in Hong Kong for 8 weeks and ever since then I've been dying to explore more of Asia. Japan in particular.
    5
  6914. I remember being served one of those Anko snacks when I went to a tea ceremony in Kyoto. It was very tasty :)
    5
  6915. I am studying japanese currently, and I've studied other languages very minimally. I have to say that learning to read/write a new language is the most important component to learning. Having the ability to read from many sources really solidifies your understanding of more complicated aspects of the grammar or homonyms. Skipping the reading/writing lessons is very detrimental to the whole experience!
    5
  6916. Cool video! Ann ming(hope I spelled that right😅...) is so amiable- she seems to get along with everyone🤙
    5
  6917. I enjoy your videos very much!
    5
  6918. Love your videos! I hope to see more videos about the food in Japan!
    5
  6919. They must think you’re extremely outgoing.
    5
  6920. Your friend is gorgeous with a mask,gets a whole lot better when she takes it off.
    5
  6921. Wow, John's accent is really good.
    5
  6922. Wow! Jess is just amazing! I am fascinated by you and her both adapting to Japanese language and culture. It blows me away that she is self-taught with Japanese language. Thanks for showing us 弓道. It looks like it takes years of practice to become good with those huge bows! Jess's Kiwi accent has completely disappeared. Being an ex-pat Kiwi myself, I understand how easy it is to lose your NZ English accent. If you don't hang out with Kiwis, the accent is hard to do naturally.
    5
  6923. It’s amazing how you switch between different languages. I’m a big fan !
    5
  6924. this made me want to pick up welsh again :) i’m learning french in school since all my siblings did it and im french canadian somewhere on my dad’s side but im learning welsh bc it’s so fun lol
    5
  6925. I do prefer these interview videos! Well done!!!
    5
  6926. Congratulations on one million 👍❤️
    5
  6927. Hello, I love watching your videos, it is a great experience and funny that different cultures can get along with each other I love your videos.
    5
  6928. The way they can be donating all those bikes to a different country in need of something like that😩😩
    5
  6929. Your Back. Glad to see you again.
    5
  6930. That looks really fun. My mom used to do archery and fencing when she was younger, but never talks about it. I should go ask her how to start learning.
    5
  6931. i'm just here for the claustrophobic setups
    5
  6932. あけましておめでとう。What a cool video, thanks for sharing this amazing insight, and congrats on the engagement.
    5
  6933. the storytelling is amazing. i love to see how you're improving with each video you upload
    5
  6934. I'm dying of mixed countries together relationship cuteness I hope you guys's children turns out to be adorable little smol babies softly toes.
    5
  6935. That almost looked like something from YakFilms, pretty dope imo.
    5
  6936. Omg so many polyglots are lying its hilarious.
    5
  6937. I found your channel through Xiaoma and love you both as the main languages you speak are at a super high level and I love watching your genuine conversations with locals. It inspires me to keep going with Korean when it gets hard. I love seeing how people light up when they hear you speak their language. It's wholesome. I don't watch the ones where people claim they learnt a language in 2 days or where they only know tiny bits of random languages but are claiming to be fluent. Those aren't interesting. I like the one Wouter did with the free tea if he didn't speak their language. You can tell it was also helping him practise and I love seeing the process. I feel if everyone got interested in other languages and cultures the world would become a better place.
    5
  6938. I've heard that alcohol is cheap there as well as widely available, is that true?
    5
  6939. That was wholesome. Such nice people. My dad went to Japan once (I think it was Kyoto) and he said that the Japanese were one of the nicest people he met. They tried their best to assist him even though there's a language barrier. But Tokyo though, not really he said, maybe because people were busy since it was the main city. So it's quite understandable.
    5
  6940. I got that overwhelming feeling as if I was actually there doing what you where doing 😳 But the more people you encountered the less nervous I got haha I’m not learning japanese atm but other 2 languages and talking to people like this looks so exciting~
    5
  6941. Love your videos!
    5
  6942. This really is a very interesting video in focusing on how the local people feel when spoken to in English by tourists, rather than only focusing on ourselves on how we as tourist feel in trying to communicate with the locals. I think you clearly made a good point here. Yet, moreover, I also wonder how people would react if you would try to speak in basic and broken Japanese to them, since most of us don't speak the language fluently as you do. Would they again cheer up and engage in an entire conversation with you? Or will they still feel discomfortable, as they would know your Japanese is limited and they will have to be considerate. I can imagine that some sort of subconscious worrying about being considerate enough towards foreigners/tourists because of their lack of (good) Japanese, can restrain locals a lot and can cause a feeling of serious discomfort in them.
    5
  6943. You say you don't have a gift for languages (using Spanish as an example), which is a good point. What you do have is a strong motivation to learn Chinese and Japanese. Motivation is the key, especially when you get a chance to use it daily in China or Japan. Your second gift is that you are willing to make mistakes (which you've mentioned before). Those two traits are crucial for success in any endeavor.
    5
  6944. They may be just starring because you are very pretty 😍
    5
  6945. 3:36 Canto like a boss
    5
  6946. Baby Car, funny. Conversely, I just learned that the Chinese "Lǎo sījī" (old driver) has an alternate meaning! Arrrrgh, cultural pitfalls. And Anming, you just mistakenly wandered into the manga section full of "exaggerated" female characters...riiiiight. Ok, excuse me while I go lose myself in my nearest bookstore...ha!
    5
  6947. Super love this interview! You guys are amazing and such inspiration ❤
    5
  6948. This I've enjoyed the most. It's fun to see you (Anming) in awe of another Japanese speaking foreigner, since I already considered you being at a high level. Your desire to learn shines through. Nice video, looking forward to more.
    5
  6949. I wish all these apps were available when I studied Japanese. It would have made it a lot easier, I think.
    5
  6950. rip ebisu :( this earthquake ruined one of the best drift compounds in the world!!!
    5
  6951. Another great video. It’s cool Tommy is enjoying Chicago. I take the train from Dearborn to there a couple times a year.
    5
  6952. This is so badass 😂❤🎉
    5
  6953. This is so cool. I already love seeing people from other countries experience the US for the first time, but I never would’ve guessed I’d get to see it happen somewhere so close to my own home! And Tommy had such an amazing guide too 🙏🏻 thank you for showing him such a fun side of the US and also thanks to your family for being so great too.
    5
  6954. Wow, this video was so entertaining and hilarious! I loved seeing the reactions of the unsuspecting strangers in Tokyo to the Halloween pranks. It's amazing how people from different cultures react to the same situations. Great job capturing these priceless moments. Keep up the good work!
    5
  6955. In Chinatown here (USA), they always sell out of my favorite, coconut tarts, and I always settle for the egg tarts...lol keep goin'..always fun!
    5
  6956. In the 1970s, I watched part of an episode of "Shogun" so I know that hai means yes. Nice to know my Japanese language skills are still there.
    5
  6957. For poor people they are super friendly and welcoming. I don't think you would get the same treatment in a poor section of Detroit. Great video. Thank you for sharing. 💖💖😁😁
    5
  6958. You look so happy!!! Really enjoy your videos, I signed up to learn Mandarin a few months ago after watching your channel 🥰
    5
  6959. This video was really wholesome and had a great vibe
    5
  6960. I know what I have to do now, and that makes me a very happy man. It's time to get a Chinese boyfriend.
    5
  6961. Happy Chinese New Year, Miss Alyssa/Anming, 祝你新年快樂，身體健康，心想事成，萬事如意。🏮🐅🧧 No matter which is right or wrong, the method of learning a language can be various and effective. 📚 Apart from it, you look glorious in the cheongsam (旗袍). 🌸
    5
  6962. I really enjoyed this video. The whole video seemed a different quality...well done you! Being engaged seems to suit you well, your energy and spirit is lighter and more at ease. You seem so happy! Lovely to see.
    5
  6963. We do like fish and chips in the UK :) (and vindaloo).
    5
  6964. Those people are projecting their insecurities and racism onto you! Keep growing and keep learning, you’re doing great
    5
  6965. I just found your channel! I live in Okinawa, and my husband is Okinawan so it's nice to see Okinawa from a fresh perspective !
    5
  6966. 不错不错！阿明笑起来的声音太灿烂了。
    5
  6967. Your Chinese is really fantastic for a person who learns the language when you’re an adult.
    5
  6968. Yes, Asian languages are much more difficult than European languages
    5
  6969. Great video! I hope you can do another video with him in the future. I know you have been very busy, but I always look forward to your videos. Hope all is going well with you and your husband!
    5
  6970. 🦊Honestly I like all the styles of your videos , especially when you film pretty areas of Japan , or meet a really nice Person there and talk to them 😀
    5
  6971. I appreciate all of the time you must spend both editing and adding subtitles to your videos.
    5
  6972. Perhaps, my only request would be having Japanese subtitles here. :-)
    5
  6973. Like Jessica, I’m from New Zealand too! I thought that was really cool when I heard that, and not to mention she’s amazing at kyudo!
    5
  6974. how many years of studying Japanese to get to this level?
    5
  6975. And I agree that most people with strong abilities don't boast about it... they are more interested in using it to dive deeper into the culture and understand more of the land, country and people. They want to connect in a real way and don't go around boasting about their abilities. Both of your Japanese is pretty good - very easy to understand. But Japanese is far more complicated than most people know. If someone from Hokkaido travelled to Tokyo and another person travelled from Kyushu and met in Tokyo and they spoke in their local dialect - they wouldn't understand each other. And there is also Keigo, Teineigo, futsugo and Jishokei... then each Kanji has multiple pronunciations - kunyomi and onyomi and sometimes another pronunciation related to a kanji being adopted to the local dialect. So it can be a life time struggle - not just for a foriegner learning Japanese, but for Japanese wanting to improve their Japanese.
    5
  6976. It is weird. I may have started watching for the shock street videos, but I continue to watch Oriental Pearl because I am interested in Anming. All the videos you post say more about what Anming thinks or how Anming's life is progressing.
    5
  6977. Excuse me, do you can speak slow 😅😅 i am learning english ((soy de México))
    5
  6978. I am not half Japanese, but I am half Russian and half German and this is so relatable
    5
  6979. this is about the dopest thing i have ever seen...
    5
  6980. That would be surprising if there was an opposite gender in a male or female gender only hot spring/onsen, that’s a heavy rain. (Lots of damages after a hurricane two weeks ago, big rain last Thursday and Friday in Hong Kong) Also, the local family are looking healthy and strong, as well as heartwarming to welcome you and Tommy. What a fantastic baseball match, even I have not seen one physically. Hope you would have a fabulous time for Christmas in China this coming December, Miss Alyssa, as well as in America. (I can read, speak, and write Chinese, since it is what we do every day.)
    5
  6981. Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for inviting us into your life! ❤I am so happy for you guys. Congratulations for the hundredth time!! 😂💕
    5
  6982. Was it shot today? I mean, local Monday? It was 成人の日. Hope the pandemic didn't ruin new seijins' spirit. I understand some prefectures held the coming-of age ceremony online but the afterparties are still fun?
    5
  6983. Congratulations 🎉 ❤🧡💛💙💚💟💕💞💜😍💜
    5
  6984. God bless you both in Jesus' name amen
    5
  6985. @Orienal Pearl Congratulations.... that was an amazing Video. You both look soo great and happy!!!
    5
  6986. Congratulations 👏🎉 I'm sorry that I didn't have the time to watch your video but I try keeping up 🤠🤠
    5
  6987. 500 views in just 5 minutes. Way cool, hey 😊
    5
  6988. Flattery will get you everywhere. Blessings
    5
  6989. That was a surprising outcome. Thanks for sharing this video, I really enjoyed the conversation at the end. Keep up the good work! ✌🏽

  6990. You are a Master Of Languages Pearl, you are Mighty 💪

  6992. I don't think I've ever seen a large Red Bull in real life, only the tiny ones. But then again, I don't drink energy drinks.

  6993. Hello ^^ I apologize in advance for my English it's not very good but I still hope that you can understand me I wanted to ask you if japan is expensive like is it expensive to live there? i am a student in germany and i love Japan (and i already learn the language a bit) when I'm older or studying abroad, I really want to go to Japan but I am afraid that I may not have enough money for it I love the Japanese culture the most I like kimonos they look so beautiful and there are so many of them (I even have four) but also the normal style of the Japanese I find great! And then there's their food culture ( is it called like that? I don't think so) ramen and all the other stuff, it all sounds so delicious!Also all Japanese look so beautiful I love their eyes and just everything😻🛐 I think when you go out in Japan it certainly looks adorable..i would love to be there <3 I'm sorry if i wrote too much :')
    5
  6994. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You inspire me so much! Thank you :D
    5
  6995. Spring is my most favorite time of the year!
    5
  6996. Sorry for your friend. He’s such a nice guy. Love your channel. 👍 Keep it up.
    5
  6997. The part where you're at the restaurant with the blonde guy, is that full video out yet?
    5
  6998. I want to learn Japanese!! I love Japan. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese
    5
  6999. Love your vids... Still watching 👍
    5
  7000. very inspirational just because you have a disability doesn't mean you can't do certain things anything is possible if you just focus and work hard at what you want to do and accomplish and this girl is a perfect example of this never give up cause you can overcome any obstacle in life
    5
  7001. Those who have hardly ever shoot arrows should practice with a bundle of straws for at least a few hour. When shooting an arrow, take off the chord with your finger like "yubi-patchin".
    5
  7002. Another valuable video, loved both you and Jay in this. I appreciate when language learning YouTubers have no method to push or product to sell but rather just try to pursue their personal goals that aren't centered upon impressing fellow polyglots or push a product. Which isn't shameful by itself, but it's been done to death and it's not my own passion to pursue. People here in the comments have been criticizing you for criticizing others and accusing you for hypocrisy. We all have a right to criticize; to pretend otherwise is to preach subservience. It would be odd if making popular videos made one immune to criticism, disrespectful even, as we would no longer be treating them as our peers. There are many people and powers working to divide ourselves into us and them. Criticism from the viewpoint of equals is one thing we have to keep doing to work against that. Though, lastly I think you could have talked more about what we should replace the charlatanism with. 30 days to conversational fluency is of course unrealistic, but what would more realistic expectations be like instead? I just notice how my skills improve with daily practice over time and I get to do things in my target languages while I'm not yet fluent enough to be easily able to follow a talk show without exhaustion, but I don't know how to spin that into a story that others could see as motivating. Yet these scams are so prevalent we can parody them with ease. Also, cool 😎 dress Anming! And thanks for your videos in general.

  7003. It warms my heart to see you do happy. It was nerve-wracking when I met my future in-laws for the first time but soon after you are just family. Congrats and blessed the two of you.

  7004. That is very true, kids don't have filters and will tell it like it is. I can vouch for a fact that when I taught preschool they would say what they saw and what they heard and are very curious. One time I had a kindergartner several years ago ask me if I was married and I said no and then my students asked if I had kids and I said no and then one student piped in "well you need a husband to have kids!" omg I was dying from laughter. I always tell parents not to under estimate little ones, they are far more observant then one thinks.

  7007. As always, another amazing video! Thank you for the hard work you put into making these!

  7008. Great to be back here Anming,, I followed your channel years ago - lost all my the links when my last laptop was probably taken to a foreign land. So back to this vid with Pia - wonderful to share both of your stories a bit. When I think of both of you probably feeling like a fish out of water a lot of the time, reminds me of the great author Ruth Ozeki, who I want to recommend to both of you and all your viewers. Ruth grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and is the daughter of the American linguist, anthropologist and Mayanist scholar Floyd Lounsbury and the linguist Masako Yokoyama. Her book, Tale for the Time Being, specifically looks at a girl (styled after her own experiences) who did part of her schooling in the US, and part in Tokyo.

  7011. Amazing!!! I love Japan's countryside!

  7012. Wow I envy you ,,so much fun I love Japan & everything about it

  7013. I thought that since the beginning of time, cultures have always 'appropriated' each other and evolved over time to become what they are today. Maybe there was an expiration for appropriation that I was unaware of. Ride On !!

  7014. I think your children will be beautiful!❤

  7015. Thanks for adding Vietnamese! I've been meaning to relearn my first language 😅
    5
  7016. I might look into it! Just started Vietnamese too (my family in-law is originally from Vietnam), it’s hard ! I also want to find proper courses near where I live. Thanks for sharing this!

  7017. "Please come more often from now on" So wholesome and sweet. That person and their community are wonderful. <3

  7019. If only I hadn't had low serotonin and dopamine problems, I could have pushed myself to study Japanese properly, how unlucky that I can only speak 3 languages without Japanese 😞 it's already challenging maintaining all of them with concentration problems, but I will never give up! Your videos are giving me some motivation to overcome these problems that I got, thanks for giving us your positivity and enthusiasm. You don't even realize how much goodness you're transmitting to us!
    5
  7020. Hahahaha, I don’t know you like dongbei cuisine. They’re all big in portions!
    5
  7021. Happy belated Valentine's day! Looks like you both had a wonderful time. I love staying at ryokan. And the onsens are amazing! Definitely the way to go if on the Shikoku henro michi. Dont worry, in public onsen, you'll probably never see the same people again. Just act like no one is looking at eachother. It's all good!
    5
  7022. Thank you for keeping your heads up, and continuing to share your awesomeness with the world! 💖
    5
  7023. There are many Westerners speaking Mandarin on YouTube channel, some of them are engaging and some are not. I keep watching your clips and subscribed to your channel as I find you a very affable lady that I can relate to. To be honest, some of your contents are not strong, eg going around talking to people you met, but I find them interesting, may be it’s your way of engaging with people. I also find you looking a typical Western lady, but inside very much has an oriental soul.
    5
  7024. I grew up Catholic and even though I’m no longer Catholic, it was so cool to hear the Gregorian chant in Japanese, thank you for including that!
    5
  7025. The rickshaw looks fun!. I’ll be glad when we can visit Japan once this virus things over with. Look forward to your next video. Take care
    5
  7026. The old lady breaks every stereotype of any elderly Japanese people.

  7027. I’m glad that Lisa has her style and knows what she wants in life ^^🎸

  7028. I love the people in Japan they are so nice❤️ I am currently learning Japanese
    5
  7029. The two of you in the receiving line bouncing with joy and constantly peaking at each other melts my heart!! Congratulations on this first big step towards your future. May it be full of joy and adventure!!! Also, I got married May 20!!! We almost have the same anniversary and that was just fun to see!

  7030. Hi Alissa,for my self i think it is very important to speak the language when you life in a country that is not your country of birth.For sure when you 24/7/356 with people around you they not speak your native language you had to learn as fast as possible that this human accept you better in ther culture.But it is very difficult to learn and speak daily a language when you have nobody to talk and to practice for a better expression.For my self i would like to speak so fluend japanese or chinese as you could and i wish you the best i could for you that your way of life never ends and all the best to you your husband an family.Thank you for these kind of videos.(sorry for my bad bad english)
    5
  7031. 5:57 Do people walk on the right in Japan even though they drive on the left?
    5
  7032. I’m loving it! I’ve already blown past a few lessons and I guess because I spent the past year learning on my own so I’m excited to see how far I can get this year.
    5
  7033. "My boyfriend is in Yakuza" hahaha cute.... wait what?
    5
  7034. I’ve always enjoyed your content. The quality is great. Both material and editing!
    5
  7035. I’m half Japanese half American and let me tell you people are shocked when I say I’m Japanese and when I fluently speak Japanese
    5
  7036. For someone who has been self learning since 2020, I'm glad I didn't ever go to language classes, mostly because I like self learning not just in languages, so I have a lot more fun like this. Of course, I never really get chances to speak but I know I won't have to struggle too much when I do.
    5
  7037. When Charles is an adult, I'll watch his videos.
    5
  7038. Aaaaa, this feeling when my Japanese is 'barely' and I can understand a bit of what people say but unable to speak anything other than self introduction XD
    5
  7039. wow, your Japanese is good as well. how amazing your language ability. so admirable.
    5
  7040. U r my favourite youtuber ..lots of luv from India🥰🥰
    5
  7041. I would love to go to Tokyo and see Babymetal!
    5
  7042. Personality is what keeps me going back to certain content creators channels. Aside from you, there's only two other polyglot channels I dig and quiet Frankly. That's more than enough for me. All my favorites 🙏🏼 stay safe.
    5
  7043. In the early days, fluency illusion was what made solo learning enjoyable and gave me the confidence to push on. I wasn’t a YouTuber etc, but it was a real positive in terms of my eventual progress- sort of fake it til you make it.
    5
  7044. omg I'm half Japanese too and I know the feels 😂😂😂
    5
  7045. Oriental Pearl good luck 👍 From Kerala, India
    5
  7046. Really nice video. Thanks for the intro, I just found your channel recently and look forward to watching all of the videos. BTW, don't let the haters get you down, I guess it's part of the internet, but as you say in one of your videos, there are lots of great people out there. People are people. Keep making great videos and don't sweat the stupid stuff.
    5
  7047. Midnight CET, works for me 👍 Lisa is very cute by the way. I'll check her videos.
    5
  7048. this is so cool and inspiring to see! I love videos of people doing stuff like this, It makes me want to start learning another language so bad.
    5
  7049. been studying alot for the last 4/5 months now and god damn its hard, its my first time learning another language but i wont give up
    5
  7050. Hi! I love your video! I am an Chinese international student who studied in Grand Rapid for two years for my high school. I definitely agree with you about “you don’t have to have a boat, all you need is know someone who have a boat”. Lol, I use my neighbor’s boat all the time!
    5
  7051. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this concept. Yes, a series on business work culture, dos/don'ts, etc ..

  7052. The moment he started his French spiel for me...so hot...
    5
  7053. OMG I love ur art too ❤ You're very talented and ur videos are very informative 🖤
    5
  7054. How is it that these people don't see your camera? Or do you have something small/discreet like an osmo pocket, and they don't realize it?
    5
  7055. Lovely Video as always. But im curious about the little facts i know about Japan. Was your Hotel a traditional Ryokan with authentic Keiseki-Kitchen? It looked very comfy ant the dishes looked delicious.
    5
  7056. Great video anming :( I hope you’re reunited with China soon! Your positivity always radiates joy and I appreciate your content a lot! I love to take walks just like you did watching and studying nature to take in the beauty of it all.
    5
  7057. I live in Madrid and I try to engage with people who speaks Japanese. The other day in the subway I heard Japanese so I talked to them and we ended drinking some beers and speaking English, Spanish and Japanese and sharing our favorite JAV actresses. XD
    5
  7058. As a dual citizen, there is a loophole. Just don’t tell the government that you’re a citizen of both lol. They rarely if ever make sure to see if you’ve given one of your citizenships up
    5
  7059. I love the Kill Bill movies and you dressing up as Beatrix Kiddo made me day! Great video! Thank you for the dedication and always making great videos!!! Happy Halloween from yesterday! lol
    5
  7060. I had a japanese teacher in high school, he told this funny story when he used to live in japan for a bit, he was riding a train and lady and him got into a conversation. She showed him pictures of her kid and he said "Kowaii desu nee" and she looked at him like "wtf" hahaha. He meant to say "kawaii" instead.
    5
  7061. Looked like everyone had fun & enjoyed themselves. Always nice to see the positivity. 😊
    5
  7062. Can you include the 汉子 with your English translations please? Thanks so much!
    5
  7063. This girl is AWESOME!!! She switched from Mandarin to Japanese without blinking. It takes me about 5 minutes to say Hello in either language.
    5
  7064. 10:29 I was asking myself the same thing, you need some veggies, rice and some fresh meat or it will not last more than a week without you having to go buying groceries agains
    5
  7065. It's so cool how amazed people are when you speak their foreign language and they're very impressed and pleased that you can communicate with them in their native tongue. It's made me realize we as English speaking people need to show the same support and encouragement when we hear people that don't have English as their first language using English. I think watching these videos help me to understand that. Thank you
    5
  7066. Pearl I love ur videos, and you inspired me to practice Japanese tysm </3
    5
  7067. Great story and another wonderful video!
    5
  7068. This would go viral if it was a popular American YouTuber doing it... May the algorithm be with you haha
    5
  7069. Your skills at Chinese are better than mine. Big respect. And also you should try to speak Indonesian.🇮🇩
    5
  7070. I know it's weird but hearing chinese conversation sounds like a music to my ears. It sound so fluid to me, so smooth.
    5
  7071. I love your approach to Japanese people and especially catching the surprised faces.
    5
  7072. Language is truly the only barrier between Good Humans. Showing it and sharing is better. TY so much Human for doing it and sharing the Knowledge. Illiteracy is not World Wide for all of us. You can do it. She can help chat.
    5
  7073. I would have guessed you had German ethnicity only because you have a resemblance to Steffi Graf, the tennis player in her younger years.
    5
  7074. I've never heard "Merry Christmas" so often in my life in just 15 minutes xDDD It's a wonderful video - seeing these people being so happy!
    5
  7075. Incredible channel. Subscribed! I went to a boarding school in AZ and lived with Japanese exchange students for several years in my dorm (early 90's). It was fun learning a new language and culture. Keep up the amazing work.
    5
  7076. I'm 196cm tall so I stick out a lot in Japan, and often I caught people (usually kids and highschoolers) saying that I'm tall, thinking I don't know Japanese. I never minded it tho, it always makes me smile, and sometimes it's fun to drop a little "otsukaresama desu" just to see the reaction 😂
    5
  7077. There's a white guy in nyc NYC doing the same kind of pranking. Forget his YouTube
    5
  7078. I have made some friends on HelloTalk that I am able to Call/Video chat with everyday. It has been a great learning experience. Also it is nice to see their English improve as well.
    5
  7079. IM CRYING SHES STUNNING I WISH I LOOKED LIKE THAT
    5
  7080. For breakfast perhaps they eat noodles? man tao? steamed bun filled with meat or red/green bean paste? even fried rice? writing this makes me 😋
    5
  7081. When I'm complimented on my ability to use chopsticks - which is not great - I know it's not sincere. The more profusely they apologize, the better an actor they are. I think it begins to affect mental health: "what is the real me?"
    5
  7082. This comment is not about this video in particular but I've been inspired by you and I've used Chinese in the two establishments I'm a regular at despite being studying it for just one month. The owners of both places have seen me many times (to the point one prepares my lunch order without me saying anything and the other remembers my hair dye colour code) and their reactions have been totally positive. They seemed delighted I've started learning their language and they've offered tips and help with practice. I don't know if I would have had the courage to do it had I not been a regular, but in my case it has been a great experiment and something that will keep me motivated to learn more (because I know they will ask about my progress when I return!). Thank you for your videos!
    5
  7083. YOU ARE AMAZING PEOPLE , WHEN YOU WANT MEET YAKUZA IN JAPAN ☺️😂
    5
  7084. Just caught this video clip now. I am half white American, half Japanese, and raised in Canada. I often get mistaken for many different ethnic groups (Afghan, Iranian, indigenous Canadian, Latin American, etc.) Very few have ever guessed my true ethnicity. So I can identify with her experiences as someone multiracial. Although when she speaks English, I immediately think of her as just another Londoner! It's also worth noting that "Latinos/Latinas" are themselves mostly multiracial, of varying degrees of mixed European, indigenous American, and African ancestry (with some Asian ancestry mixed in as well).
    5
  7085. This was a really interesting and great video! Thank you Anming for showing us different sides to Japan and China!
    5
  7086. @7:26 that's the body language of "what can I say, I'm a badass" lol
    5
  7087. Such an inspired teacher =))) it’s would be my luck if I have a teacher like u =)))
    5
  7088. Have watched a lot of your videos so far and this is one of my favorites. I really love seeing everyday insights like this. Thanks -- and more more more please! :-)
    5
  7089. I hope you and Toby are reunited soon!
    5
  7090. What we're you eating at the end? It looks delicious 😋
    5
  7091. Funny episode today. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you
    5
  7092. I love kids they are just pure and they say what's on their minds and I'm like that hahahha stay safe girl 🫂🤗
    5
  7093. Whats that weird sound at the last part while she was wiping switch and handles that was so creepy. Its like sound from japanese horror movie.
    5
  7094. Greetings from Finland. I reserved a trip to Japan with my friends over half a year ago, but things aren't looking too good :/ We were supposed to go there this June. I'll just watch your vlogs to fill the void left by this unsuccessful trip :D
    5
  7095. Very interesting video!♥♥I'm a new fan! Oriental Pearl, Where are your ancestry from?? Germany?? UK?? Scandinavia? I wish the best for you & your husband! Love from a Korean Guy in Norway!♥ God Bless you!
    5
  7096. my cousin is white, but was born and raised in japan and she hates when this happens too because it underscores her difference from those around her. sometimes people just want to blend! but anyone who "looks foreign" and speaks the language fluently isn't the norm, so it's hard to blame them for pointing it out or being surprised. tough situation though for sure!
    5
  7097. Great Vid Pearl!
    5
  7098. So what you're telling me is... HelloTalk doubles as a dating app
    5
  7099. Your Japanese voice sounds totally different from your English voice. It’s like it was another person’s. Amazing!
    5
  7100. Okay! I wasn't expecting this! very cool! There's so much to see in Japan, can't wait to visit again and go out exploring! great content Alyssa!
    5
  7101. I am trying to learn Japanese. I am going to Japan in 2023, and I want to know enough to talk to people in hotels and restaurants, mainly. I think visiting a country, and not at least knowing a bit of the language is disrespectful to the people in that country. You can't expect them to speak English, and even if they do, I think it is just common sense to know some of the basics of the language of the company I am speaking.
    5
  7102. Wow just one month and already monetized wooow huhuhu
    5
  7103. When I was in Japan, sometimes I Japanizing (is it a correct words? lol) the English words to Japan, like "boteru/bottle, miruku/milk, purei/play, and etc". And some of them will understand hahaha. Of course, the body language is also important
    5
  7104. Lol Tinder is NOT considered a language training app!!! 😅
    5
  7105. Ahhhh, the most dangerous fight in Martial Arts...two white belts! They can injure their opponents and themselves both on purpose and by accident! /;p
    5
  7106. THIS WAS SO FUN AND FUNNY TO WATCH 😂😂😂❤️
    5
  7107. I’m also a black asian and I wish I could be this confident as Katie... But watching this video made me less insecure somehow. I always wanted to look asian when I was young because I was so complexed about my hair, hand, face and especially my high while I had a cousin who was the completely opposite of me (I’m aware that it’s weird to think like that but sometimes I can’t help it... or maybe it’s also because now I’m cosplaying myself, and things are getting worst). Sorry for my bad english
    5
  7108. I've seen this a lot, people have a script with all the sentences in one's language and they don't deviate from that script. If they don't lead the conversation then it's over for them and you end up speaking to a toddler.
    5
  7109. My wife left her passport on the plane at Hanedakuko in February this year. We waited about an hour for the plane crew to cleanup and find it. I know the feeling of leaving a place you love.
    5
  7110. Whereeee is the heart bag from!!!! so cute!
    5
  7111. I don't know how your friend was not excited. That looks so cool and I want to try those noodles! Thanks for that crazy history lesson. But I'll probably get the chills going there. And that cave looks so cool!!! Temperatures drop when you're inside one especially with water flowing
    5
  7112. Eu não converso com garotas nem em portugues ... Imagina em japones(-´-)
    5
  7113. Love your vids! I am normally introverted but when I was in Japan for about 4/5 years and picking up the language I found myself becoming more and more outgoing.. I think it's because people are so curious about gaijin and want to talk.
    5
  7114. Such a great video! Wonderful message and incredible editing ❤
    5
  7115. Welcome to America Tommy and take care of that beautiful family and God bless you sir!
    5
  7116. I love your videos and adventures! Keep them coming! Thank you.
    5
  7117. My dad is from Detroit! He has alot of memories!
    5
  7118. As always, she never fails to amaze us❤
    5
  7119. Oriental Pearl, amazing content it was really good
    5
  7120. The guide is so cool, I love him!
    5
  7121. You deserve all of the followers! I really enjoy your videos in other countries and sharing cultures!
    5
  7122. It's good that you clarified the East culture for your viewers. In your case, your Chinese is really good, no flattery. Every region has their own accent. A lot of native people can tell you are not from their region, but they won't know you are a foreigner to the country without looking at you.
    5
  7123. Great vid Anming, as usual. I find Jessica's life interesting. It's also odd to me that some people have a problem with her (and your) life. Pfff...they need to get over it. As if it's a problem.
    5
  7124. Very interesting, didn't know that Halloween was even a thing there. Is it just Tokyo and/ or the big cities?
    5
  7125. Anyone ever told you look like anie from attack on titan?
    5
  7126. Beautiful work you do on the other side of the world. These people need a friendly chat and empathy and you are giving them that. God bless you all.
    5
  7127. 6:30 Carefull ! Here they are, the real Yakuza ! I recognize them immediatly !
    5
  7128. omg, that is so weird to see two white people speaking Japanese to each other!
    5
  7129. Considering we have almost a million and they have 13,000 the situation over there is very different
    5
  7130. Congratulations to you both on this incredible journey in Life together. May your receive the fullness of Love, Joy, Happiness and Blessings.
    5
  7131. Great to see you and another video. People are awesome in Japan very cool. Thank You for being you. Stay Safe
    5
  7132. I love the mix of her "asian facial" like the eyes, teethand other parts of face mixed with da black-ish skin and other vibes like her hair etc and many more, actually its really hard to dont look at her lmao shes stunning and beautiful person
    5
  7133. I lived in Michigan for 3 years. So many people like you who have never left the state, they go Up North for every vacation, and to Grand Rapids when they want culture. Very nice to see someone who actually left.
    5
  7134. Corn snake are frequently found in corn cribs (where corns are stored) feeding on rodents.
    5
  7135. I think the "polyglots" that complain about this are the ones that are jealous and read off scripts in other languages to try and impress people of their "abilities".
    5
  7136. Because in M'sia ,we have great 🌞 Can kill the gems and even people 😏
    5
  7137. So good to see another video😊😊 The last two guys were so chill and respectful, I thought you knew them from long ago
    5
  7138. Wow killin it! But also killin it …for fostering world peace!
    5
  7139. 9:50 That could really send a first date in the wrong direction..
    5
  7140. Looking cute lol ty for the video 🙂
    5
  7141. Love the insight into your Japanese life. The laws must be lax around rooms without windows. Serious fire safety issue.
    5
  7142. Breakfast....red bull. 😏 I love this set up though! Your job seems pretty laid back and fun! 😃Btw, I dominate at foosball. heh heh heh
    5
  7143. I haven't watched for a while been busy with school, glad you're still doing these videos!
    5
  7144. I've never been this early before, haha. Your videos are always great to watch and are both very informative and interesting!
    5
  7145. wow I didn't know that you were from Madigan (sorry bad spelling) am from Green Bay, WI am looking to move to Japan soon but you have a great video I like the hair cutting and snakes and the gotcha pon nice video - CyberGod :)
    5
  7146. Imagine Samurai Sanders entering a battle, like the battle of sekigahara
    5
  7147. 5:20 the pikachu is way too adorable to eat ❤️
    5
  7148. If I ever got to go to Japan, meeting Jessica Gerrity san and seeing all of the different dojo’s and martial arts she practices would be a wonderful experience. Also I feel wearing the appropriate uniform is showing that the person respects and honors the history and traditions of the martial arts.
    5
  7149. I read about the earthquake recently. Glad to see you guys are okay out there tho! Video is great as always! <3
    5
  7150. Like before watching gang checking in! I'm sure this will be another awesome video 🙏🏻
    5
  7151. You are a gem Anming! The “I love cringe” saying you said haha. I had a small conversation with a Japanese worker at a restaurant in Little Tokyo near where I live & I went for it though I was terrified but glad I caught a small mistake I said when speaking! Small improvement yay!
    5
  7152. So many happy people fabulous to see and hear.👍🥰
    5
  7153. Yes, Thank you for this REFRESHING Kind of controversial Debate. =) I feel, it´s important and enrichening to sometimes stop, and take a Look on oneself from a critical Point of View, too. :"> Since these Aspects tend to be easily OVERLOOKED, when it´s a LOT about Fame, Clicks, Likes and ultimately MONEY. 8-/ It´s not about claiming "THE ONE and only Truth" the OTHER Way round. It´s more about preventing (allways subjective) Truths from becoming TOO one-sided and TOO free of any different or conflicting Aspects. :">

  7155. That is a hilariously weird way of delivering food! 😂 🙈 Can't help imagining the next evolution of that system - customers seated under the pipes, waiting for the food to plop directly into their mouths.

  7156. cow tongue is so good when it’s prepared in tacos. Definitely try Mexican tacos de lengua (cow tongue tacos) they’re so delicious!

  7157. btw if you're really having issues with your ear you can get a water irrigation kit from amazon for less than $20. It's amazing and not at all scary like sticking a q tip in your ear. Although I was a bit shocked at some of the stuff that came out. The ears are very clean now.

  7158. I understood "su goi", you know, from all the anime i watch.
    5
  7159. I didn't even know it had a name. My grandad has learnt many a language over the years and even in retirement is a translator for many languages. In fact it's mostly in retirement this has been a thing. He studies most days and nights even languages he knows well because we're never done learning.

  7161. Wisdom, thank you. Even in video you are good company.
    5
  7162. You're so loveable as a person, i watch for the language of course but also because you're giving pretty useful lessons for life ( maybe you're unaware of it but you do) and the lightness of your personality, you're candid and you go on in life just wanting to be yourself, authentic, your desire to communicate with other human beings and make friends...That's very heart warming to see. Your kindness radiates truly. Please don't change no matter how popular you may get.

  7163. When the beyblade failed all I could think of is “in the arms of the angels”

  7164. Its amazing to speak in 4 different languages. Good video and switching between languages is difficult. Nice video. Your korean was good too. Your learning Vietnamese too. Good to see you speaking with Vietnamese too.
    5
  7165. Whaaaat? How come you don’t have 1M subscribers? Guy let’s share this girls’ channel, she deserves much more attention!

  7166. I loved his reactions. Must have been a culture shock for him lol But I love how you guys enjoyed your time. 😊
    5
  7167. Thank you for sharing your story and the process of learning a language. This gave me motivation to work harder and study more! :D
    5
  7168. Anming, you really are an inspiration. You inspired me to learn Japanese, and i’ve been at it for a year now. Thanks for your awesome content ❤❤ ありがとう

  7169. soooo nice loving this vlog!!!!

  7170. If there's one thing I like about you OP, it's that you're not a narcissist. Luca Lampariello and Steve Kaufmann are others.

  7171. Thank you for visiting Phillipines, hope you enjoy here. Godbless you and kept safe. Happy new year....:)

  7172. Admire you anming thank you for learning these languages ❤❤
    5
  7173. This made me so happy to watch ☺️❤️ congratulations!
    5
  7174. That was cool. I'm studying Spanish, and your dedication and passion for the time necessary to put in to for learning Chinese inspires my own studies that much more! Thanks!
    5
  7175. Good ending/editing 👍 No one wants to stay at areas that were hit by the tsunami or you went during non a busy time? No one else walking around that town

  7176. Am I the only one that thinks an office job would be fun?
    5
  7177. Great video as usual. I'd like to try traditional weapons again, but i'm more a swordsman than an archer. Somehow, i may end up arrowed by myself rather than hitting any targets :D

  7178. Great content! He seems so humble and likeable

  7179. Next video: "I could not afford the rickshaw ride and this is what they made me do" Loved this one btw.

  7180. "Yeah dummy what else would I be speaking?" LMAOOOOO

  7181. 🤣🤣🤣 I love the part at 6:00 when he says nice when you are like old dudes hit on random girls around where i live etcetera. You definitely caught him though.

  7182. Congrats on 1 Million your amazing Pearl helping Drew out as well super cool of you thank you for brining us great content

  7183. I would consider someone who can have a decent conversation to be a polyglot. The polyglots I've seen on YouTube can have a pretty good conversation with people. Santiglot is one of them. He can have a fairly thorough conversation in English (not his native language), Spanish (his native language), Portuguese, Italian, French, Tagalog, Chinese (I think Mandarin), and even speaks dialects from Catalan and Naples. Plus he's learning Hindi and Russian. And speaks a little Arabic. But he even claims he's not fluent in the latter 3. The previous 9 he is fairly fluent in and can have a conversation. That's what it means to be fluent and a polyglot. It doesn't mean to know the language perfectly. No one knows a language perfectly. Hell, I don't even know English perfectly.
    5
  7184. good morning my beautiful❤❤❤

  7185. I just got back from Japan and didn't even know there were homeless areas. Thank you making the video and showing these places.

  7186.  @OrientalPearl  a law against shipping wood products?? What?? Like matches, paper, things with wood handles?? No right?

  7187. Okay I was smiling the entire video. You're a light to this world ✨✨✨

  7188. Congratulations on the completion of your master’s degree!

  7190. Very impressive Anming. ❤

  7191. Interesting they celebrate Holloween in Tokyo, the adults celebrate! Lots of people wearing costumes, enjoying themselves while celebrating the holiday.
    5
  7192. Thanks for contiuously introducing Japanese culture. So beautiful to always being able to learn something new. Hope that it will be sunnier the next time.

  7193. When I drink soup from the bowl, mom frowns at my uncivilized behavior. But it's so convenient!
    5
  7194. I can definitely understand the different reactions, or at least a second look. Where I am in the US there is a lot of overlap between the Mexican community and the Chinese community. When I first came to the city, I had a few instances where the common language between a Chinese man and an Italian(me) in America was Spanish. It's got to be surprising, people are so used to seeing certain faces speaking certain languages.
    5
  7195. Hey pearl I’ve recently seen your YouTube videos and I really love them. I plan on moving to Japan in a year to do my college education over there, hopefully under the MEXT scholarship, and I’ve recently started learning Japanese, while watching your videos to better understand the environment in Japan. How long did it take you to become conversationally fluent in Japanese because I hope by the time I get to Japan I can at least hold a conversation since I would like to make some friends over at the college, as the transition would be easier. Also do you think if your Japanese skills are limited at the time it would be difficult to make Japanese friends (As a note I will surely take language classes at the college in order to make sure that my Japanese skills can reach a high level and I can properly communicate with whoever I’d like while obtaining a native fluency in the language, in aspects like reading, speaking, and listening). Thank You! Edit: Do you think when I start college there within two years of being at the college I can reach a high level of Japanese and for the next two years basically not have to worry about continuously studying, as I’ll be constantly applying those skills in my daily life.
    5
  7196. Thank you for sharing this part of your life Anming! I wish the two of you the best.
    5
  7197. 6:19 i had trouble with this too but for french! I grew up learning french first, and went to a french only school in canada. My parents moved and i had to go to an english public school but had to take their french class. The teacher would mark me wrong on my french assignments because i used words they hadnt learned or used yet. very frustrating.
    5
  7198. No, I'm sorry but I'm astounded, oh my god! I'm a Chinese language student at university while having Japanese as a minor and you're truly what I'd love to become. You're so inspiring! I am lucky to already master English and French but, damn, it's gonna be long before I can speak like you! You're amazing, truly amazing!
    5
  7199. I feel like once korean is fluent enough. Tagalog should be the next language as the Filipino population is more widely populated all over the world. More so than Vietnamese and Thai
    5
  7200. 你日语和中文都好厉害👍🏼
    5
  7201. I like how you called that guy out for not getting pumped up about the noodle chute.
    5
  7202. To me learning a language by karaoke and talking to a natives are the fastest ways
    5
  7203. Naaaaah he was lying, he was just stunneb how u shine. Looolll. Almost lost control of the steer.
    5
  7204. DAMN I LOVE IT HELL YEAH. 😎 Lets go deeper, your gonna blow up as a youtuber If you keep doing this because no one else is.
    5
  7205. I know you are trying to come off as “humble,” but the truth is you are a GENIUS!
    5
  7206. Happy New Year Oriental Pearl, I kinda stumbled onto your site from a mad you tube spiral, but I am very glad I did. It is so refreashing to see an honest down to eath, no clickbait site . You come across as very entertaining, aformative and adorable and I look forward to watching more of your adventures. Just one more thing if I may ask, in your opinion what would be the best Chinese language to learn, Cantonese or Mandarin?
    5
  7207. That was a cool intro with the girls dancing. It's funny how a Japanese treats darker Japanese are mixed Japanese people because they've been in history before the beginning of time in Japan.
    5
  7208. Can't wait to this pandemic to end so that I can visti Japan :( I wanna meet the beyblade old man!!!
    5
  7209. I myself amazed at your ability to toggle languages just like that.
    5
  7210. Congratulations! There is nothing more beautiful than finding love and sealing it. I hope that the love you feel now helps you in difficult times and comforts you and the laughter, kisses and hugs are memorable in the ears of your children.
    5
  7211. Man I'm so happy for you guys!! Wow, It's been a wild ride watching your videos for so long. Really happy to see your parents got to fly out to Japan, and spend time with you and Tommy as well. Wonder how the in-laws part went down lol, Congrats to you and Tommy again!! Wishing you guys nothing but the best. 😃
    5
  7212. I loved this video! Whenever i get to Japan, I'm gonna look for these Rickshaws! 😍
    5
  7213. Happy marriage ! Good luck for your life long journey with your partner! You sound like more japanese ! You speak Japanese well and you are so accustomed Japanese culture !😍🥳
    5
  7214. For all we know that old lady might just be a curious one. Great content! Love from Norway

  7215. I made a chinese native smile with a simple Xie Xie once.
    5
  7216. The salary is not important, what it truly matters is you have the passion and interest on what you pursue. Also, I didn’t know that the anime industry can be tough, luckily some foreigners survive the difficulty.
    5
  7217. This makes me so homesick for Japan. Having honeymooned at the base of Mt Fuji with all the same things shown here I can’t wait to return. A beautiful country. Thank you Anming for all your amazing videos!
    5
  7218. He doesn't look like a bad guy but streaming yourself hitting on girls could already be considered weird in my opinion. I could say this would be weird as fuck in Argentina and you have to take in consideration this country isn't nearly as conservative as Japan. It surprises me though that he seems so awkward even after trying this SO many times haha
    5
  7219. You should start a Speak Chinese or Japanese challenge for us Subscribers, Like make it official, we have to record ourselves for a bit speaking these langauges we are learning Chinese or Japanese with natives on the streets and send them to you lol Idk I think it would be something really inspirational, as you have inspired us your followers to speak out even if we are learning :)
    5
  7220. i like trying to speak different languages.where can i buy the books you used to teach you different languages?
    5
  7221. Linguist here. For me, online content is online content. Some people are impressive, some are just hustling, sometimes a mix. I learn a bit from each type and as long as nobody is stealing anything from me, I'm ok with it all. Btw I've been learning languages for longer than Youtube has existed so I had the chance to just enjoy it for a while before polyglots were even really a thing.
    5
  7222. You really are something else. Finally got your videos
    5
  7223. I love your videos! You always bring a smile to my face. I sometimes laugh at my boys when I see them smiling at their phone, and then I find myself doing that while watching your videos. 😆
    5
  7224. Americans would love the neat, clean, polite society of Japan.
    5
  7225. Hi Pearl, Interesting video & i understand the situation perfectly & also the comments. Japan is what it is. I have lived there & will visit for my 50th time next month. My kids were born in Australia but went to school in Japan. They have dual citizenship until 22 years of age & then make their own decision about what citizenship to keep.Of course i envy your japanese ability but my lack of Japanese ability has never been a liability for me. Anyway all the best & maybe we will cross paths in Kyoto.
    5
  7226. Your happiness and laughter are so infectious ! I loved this video, it felt so comfortable but I also learned a lot! Thank you so much for the content you make:)
    5
  7227. What a great way to capture your guy's trip! Loved the gun range with your Mom and Tommy's reactions
    5
  7228. Thanks for the message 😻❤️💞💘
    5
  7229. Your boyfriend/fiancé and his family are so cool! Wish you a happy life together. Happy new year!
    5
  7230. Shirakawago seems to me a village from a thousand of years. The gables are steep and tall. I believe the original people who lived there were not the same as we find there today. The architectural design were from a long gone civilization.
    5
  7231. Have not seen your clip for a while, happy to receive it today! Anyway, I can see those staffs standing at the salon looking at you with envy when you started the conversation with the lady in Chinese, there after in Japanese. 😳 And you make speaking Chinese sound so glamorous, haha 😛
    5
  7232. Richard is new to being on your channel? I would love to hear what brought him to Japan for a 20yr stay and how he speaks/learned Japanese! Could you tell us more?
    5
  7233. Me: wondering How I understood most of that Also me: realizes I’m a weeb who watched over 800 anime’s Also me: ooh now it makes sense why
    5
  7234. Such excitement in his eyes at all new places, food and experiences. It was so much fun to experience this trip through his eyes. ❤️ So excited for him to come to America. I suppose we take a lot for granted.
    5
  7235. What do you mean with "business level" in a language? I think you can find many of "real" polyglots on YouTube doing coaching or sort of. That's a business as well (as you said). It is just about personality (again, as you said ;) ). Nice video and interesting fact about "sauna" ... I hadn't realised it :o
    5
  7236. Ayyy, that song from Kimetsu no Yaiba. I love it
    5
  7237. I love his reaction to a new place. Please we need a series you and him traveling to some place in states.
    5
  7238. You made thousands of mistakes, me too. 哎，亲！我学英文也好不容易嘞！ 学日语的话，一点都不想学，一听到日语我也不知道全身都鸡皮疙瘩。很不习惯，嘻嘻~
    5
  7239. Do you know the name of this guy's website? It's great how your channel has grown! Have a happy new year! :D
    5
  7240. Thank you for talking about how shy people can become more extroverted, it means a lot to me (especially because I stand out due to my height)!
    5
  7241. Must be a routine for most of them, but unfortunately it seems that they are just subsisting, living thru their phones.
    5
  7242. I even thought Lisa was a foreigner. She´s so kind and sweet, love her outfit. Thanks again for another video :)
    5
  7243. 私は亀が好きです
    5
  7244. Not many foreigners in Japan could speak the language that well especially Europeans
    5
  7245. This is adorable and so wholesome!!! Looking forward to seeing the wedding ♥
    5
  7246. I really admire your tenacious work ethic. Working in Japan can be extremely frustrating and difficult for gaijin.
    5
  7247. This is the funniest thing ever for a Finnish person such as myself! :D
    5
  7248. You won't stop me from trying! You're having all the fun! I'M GOING TO GET MINE!
    5
  7249. I don't care what the world thinks of China's government. Their people at least are so nice and polite! I wish to meet some Chinese whenever I go to Japan, which might be probably in 2023.
    5
  7250. "You want to be corrected" 💯💯
    5
  7251. Japan looks very interesting although it is kind of old-schooled , I would like to visit it someday . i like katie’s personality so much!!!
    5
  7252. Funny you should go here... I have been working on a film about the homeless here for years, I never finished it due to fears of yakuza retribution. Do you know the history of the Jizo you showed at the end? He is known as neck-chop Jizo, close to 250,000 people were executed under him. The Namidabashi is called the bridge of tears because the heads of the executed were put on pikes along the road and family would come and visit them, hence the tears.
    5
  7253. lol thats very creative way to drink xD definitely trying that next time :) i am just having dinner now so gonna watch your video.
    5
  7254. I'm really impressed and admire your ability to speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. I'm currently an Asian American and studying Japanese hoping to become fluent as you one day.
    5
  7255. Wow.... your channel is growing so well! I’m gladly impressed! I enjoy all the Japanese videos you make and hopefully I can meet you some day. Stay safe and healthy! ~Nyx
    5
  7256. Lollll that gag! 🤣 I mostly hear vegetarians freak out about on how great it is and thats very usable as a meat replacement. Gonna try once I’m in Japan. I love seaweed crisps! I have a bag that’s prawn flavoured. SO good! I can appreciate a good cup of miso nowadays but i didn’t like it before.
    5
  7257. Here before this goes viral
    5
  7258. Videos like this need millions of views. not random girls twearking in music videos
    5
  7259. It must feel really satisfy 🧖😁
    5
  7260. I've lived in Japan and I must say you have phonetically mastered the language. It's one thing to speak Japanese but it's another to sound Japanese.
    5
  7261. Study study...
    5
  7262. This is not for Reading... its a Eye Test😜👍👍👍😂😂😂
    5
  7263. I’ve been learning Chinese for 6 years, and recently started Japanese! It’s so cool how you’re able to switch through the different languages so naturally><
    5
  7264. Seeing you trying to open that box was hilarious.🤣
    5
  7265. Vietnamese will definitely be interesting to learn in the future. A lot of ppl don't know that there's a huge borrowing of Chinese vocabulary in the language. Lots of traditions are also similar such as giving out red envelopes on Lunar New Year and eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.
    5
  7266. This painted smile in my face without i realized, so i choose to click the Subcribe button ^^ thank you.
    5
  7267. Videos like yours give me that interest in learning another language <3
    5
  7268. Always to tier content, tysm
    5
  7269. Language fluency other than English was not a gift I was given. I have tried to learn German but I can never get above C1 even after 10 years. If I could have been given that gift to pick up a language with ease, I would have picked that as my super power. Love your vids!
    5
  7270. Yes, I would allow them to take my picture with them! They have very likely never seen a foreigner and might not have the ability to travel abroad. And it seems they are genuinely friendly and curious about meeting someone from other places. I enjoy your channel!
    5
  7271. Hello, I would like to address your commentary about reactions from native-speaking Chinese and Japanese, particularly concerning most do not react at all. What I don't understand is why none of the successful Youtubers like yourself ever focus on full-blooded all-American English speakers like me (born in Indiana and lives in Washington state) and the complete shock and awe I have always had watching you, a blond blue-eyed Michigan women speak Chinese!! I like to watch the interchange between you and the Asian community but, why not try a different twist. Find out how English native speakers react to a blond-haired blue-eyed individual who speaks Chinese. Scenario: Walk into a someplace in Michigan, asked in broken heavily accented English for help, then start speaking to them in Chinese. HA! Social experiment!!!! In summary, I watch your videos because I am amazed at your skill in languages that are not the norm for someone of your background and heritage.
    5
  7272. I was really waiting for this and I hope to see more from your trip 🥰
    5
  7273. I wish this was every halloween
    5
  7274. +1 Shocked here. So fascinating to watch people's reactions. Keep these videos coming. So entertaining to watch!
    5
  7275. I'm curious,have you ever been to or have ever wanted to visit South Korea?
    5
  7276. I love how genuinely interested the guy in the navy shirt was in the conversation
    5
  7277. I wheezed at "they see you as a human being" once you get completely immersed and fluent with the language. I think it's the third time I heard that line 😭
    5
  7278. I love your videos! I am an ABC (my mom is from Taiwan) and I know hardly any Chinese. Your videos inspire me to learn Chinese. Thank you!
    5
  7279. I tend to agree with your observation about Dongbei people. They’re tough and kind of humble and like to make fun of themselves. “HuYou”.Hahahaha
    5
  7280. Lmao! This was literally the first recommended video on...one of the fake Mandarin/Cantonese speaker’s latest videos. I think that means...you have emerged victorious! 🥳
    5
  7281. I'm just shocked that people have a problem with you speaking a foreign language or other polyglots.... I watch people like you and I'm always excited you all give me a lot of confidence and courage to learn and get interested in the culture, hearing and enjoying all this beautiful encounters with wonderful people in amazing places Thank you so much, hope you never stop!
    5
  7282. Thank you, learning Japanese language :) 😊❤️️ also i'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina my first language is Castilian and English second😆
    5
  7283. Dear, don’t let those people bother you, they don’t know how hard is to study an oriental language. I’ve been studying japanese since I was 18 and even now, 12 years later, there are some words I don’t know even I consider myself fluent in japanese. Don’t listen to that trash and keep being great👍
    5
  7284. TkyoSam kicks ass, you should interview him about his time working for a Japanese company.
    5
  7285. Where the hell did that guy on the bike in the orange jacket appear from at the start 0:04?😳. Weird 🤔
    5
  7286. I’ve been watching in and out on some of your videos and now just subscribed and honestly I think it’s amazing that you took the time to learn another countries language and are willing to show what each country is like. It makes me mad that people hate on the fact you are living your best life and are willing to show it to people! I believe that they are secretly jealous that they haven’t put the time and efforts to learn another language! You keep doing you and count me now as a new supporter! Thank you for your videos and motivating me into learning new languages 😂
    5
  7287. Lovely that Tommy got to meet your parents, and your marriage is officially (legally) registered! Hope you had a lovely honeymoon, and looking forward to seeing how the meeting of in-laws goes!
    5
  7288. You inspired me to start learning Japanese. I’ve tried a few times in the past but never really stuck with it, but your videos show how fun it can be to interact with people from other cultures. It gives me the motivation to keep going.
    5
  7289. ANMING! How are you? Just so you know, I made a Chinese friend... that’s amazing, I can learn so much. Cheers 😀
    5
  7290. your vlogs are my escape from stress, by watching your vlogs I feel like I'm also in japan.
    5
  7291. 6:02 I’m just contributing
    5
  7292. good content thx
    5
  7293. This was so useful! I'm traveling abroad for the first time this summer :)
    5
  7294. I'm really glad you guys ended up getting together. What a fun video! Told ya she was sweet and cool... ;)
    5
  7295. Your stories are really interesting and I was wondering what kind of program you were on and how did you find out about it?
    5
  7296. ooooo. I'm here!!!! :D Anming's out here asking the real questions! 😂 Btw, that countryside shot around the 3 minute mark is GORGEOUS! The colors are popping. I also liked how you show the "you have to do something out of the ordinary....like this!" 🤣🤣🤣
    5
  7297. Love you and your vids. Genuine interactions and it's so impressive what you've accomplished to learn as an adult. I can't even learn how to use my smart phone properly haha...
    5
  7298. Thanks for the bringing this to our attention. Interesting for me too, being a Chinese Canadian married to a Japanese wife.
    5
  7299. I live in Spain and you can get pig ears as tapas when you order a drink in some places. I never liked it though. Not really my thing because of the texture, but it tastes good.
    5
  7300. Hi, I'm a new subscriber and I wanted to tell you something... THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Because I'm studying Japanese as my third language (Spanish is my mother language) and I was insecure about studying Chinese because I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it studying Japanese at the same time, or after finishing it, idk it was like something was blocking my mind, but after seeing your videos, I got courage and finally made up my mind and decided to go for it, so thank you so much!!

    5
  7311. Ah, looks like you had a lovely trip away together!
    5
  7312. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this, at the moment I’m learning Japanese, and this was inspirational
    5
  7313. How lovely! I’m happy you embraced the culture, it’s so heartwarming that you appreciate the place you live and how they live. Celebrating a new culture and still holding onto your own. Your Japanese is great. Happy new year !

  7314. I love your videos, so I hope you can continue. You are very inspirational and I’m very impressed by you. You are so pleasant and friendly, your videos are so fun to watch. I love how people are so surprised by your language skills. I only speak English, and wish I could speak more. Thank you for your show.
    5
  7315. It's a genuine compliment tbh
    5
  7316. I love these videos! 😁 Just out of curiosity I wonder if the Chinese man seriously meant for you to come back and hang out or is it like in America when you go to leave and ppl say don't run off but of course they don't mean it they are just being "polite" 😁
    5
  7317. omg, 3 years for HSK 6 is fast af
    5
  7318. I like your channel. Objective, interesting, well balanced, calm reporting. A rare gem in this world of chaotic OTT self serving, ignorant YouTubers: Well done!
    5
  7319. 7:17 hahahahaha that story was recently adapted into an anime. Yeah, it has a girl with big boobs, but it's a funny story about a guy and a girl's relationship xD. Uzaki chan wants to hang out - is the name. It really is fun!
    5
  7320. so happy for you!! Congrats and enjoy your new place together!! can't wait to see how it transforms over time
    5
  7321. I have 1 more year of high school left and then im done i love dance kpop history and want to be able to speak 3 languages but i have so much that i must do now so i can get to that point
    5
  7322. Its so glad to see you know how to speak japanese and chinese, both languages are hard to learn especially chinese even writing in chinese are hard, so you are definitely so so good!
    5
  7323. Really enjoyed the documentary-type vibe on this video.
    5
  7324. Nice to see you back with more great videos thanks! You are so talented and great with Asain Languages.
    5
  7325. This is it!!! A video with equal amounts of the big 3 asian languages. By far my favorite language channel. We seriously cant wait for more korean content to come out.
    5
  7326. You both are beautiful ! I am Romanian, Moroccan, Russian it’s a crazy mix.
    5
  7327. This is gonna be fun one 😅😂😂 They didn't expect this 😂😂
    5
  7328. The people in Tokyo are very happy and lively overcoming the isolation and depression
    5
  7329. you can not help but smile when you watch your videos they are so amazing and you are a wonderful person
    5
  7330. Nice video sister. I really love today video 😍. Really appreciate your hardwork. Keep it up. . Lot's of ❤️ and huge respect from my side 🙏 and India 🙏
    5
  7331. I'm always curious, is it hard to buy a house there especially in rural area? It's pretty peaceful I see..
    5
  7332. Hopefully the pig ears will improve your hearing and the tofu brains will be good for your skin. But nothing better than gaining that new subscriber!
    5
  7333. I'd say not only changes, but rather makes the experience if you know some local language where you go. (for myself it's thai and tagalog though).
    5
  7334. Just subscribed. Excellent language skills, I also study Mandarin. Cheers from Taiwan 🇹🇼
    5
  7335. This was awesome. Such a fun thing to do to brighten people's day
    5
  7336. Im so sad, i dont get ur notification even tho i turned on the bell.... :((
    5
  7337. So so talented, I’m amazed just how good you are
    5
  7338. I'd love to go there, everyone seems so nice and happy.
    5
  7339. I get what you mean and I agree with almost everything you commented on but when you complained about everything having railings and then showed an absolutely precipitous drop where the railings were clearly preventing accidental death I disagreed. The railings didn't affect the view and what do you think would happen to all those jostling Chinese without them?!!?
    5
  7340. Anming, I have a question for Katie- "I am bi-racial (black Hispanic/Anglo mix), which is fairly common in the US. But in Japan, are bi-racial people less common to find? Has being bi-racial caused any issues with acceptance from others?"
    5
  7341. 6:30 Hey! I've seen this one I've seen this one! This is a classic!
    5
  7342. If you can speak Chinese, Chinese people will respect you and become their friends or family
    5
  7343. You've got such a great personality! Loving your videos!
    5
  7344. I was in Japan more than forty years ago. At that time, most people would say "so deska" or "honto ne" instead of "eehh". Just to confirm that you are listening.
    5
  7345. My mom said if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all!
    5
  7346. I found this video very moving. When you create videos, it is like writing a diary. You are capturing the things around you to share with others for posterity. It is best to have no expectation other than your own fulfillment. If you like making the videos, if you find it cathartic, then make them. If not, then you should feel no compulsion to make them to satisfy other people, or YouTube.
    5
  7347. Winners are grinners and the rest can suit themselves! You are a winner ! I love you vids ,ok they are a very different place than the mainstream but it is what you set out to do and you have achieved! Keep the faith of cheering people up ! You successfully do that for a lot of us , live long and prosper 🖖
    5
  7348. Wow… I never even gave it a thought that such a place could exist in such a modern country. 😢 Thank you for sharing young lady.
    5
  7349. You speak Japanese so beautifully that we forget that you are a non-Japanese
    5
  7350. thank you so much for your videos! I am French and I talk a lot about you to my entourage because your videos are really incredible :) thank you for making us dream and laugh in these beautiful countries! and congratulations for mastering Japanese and Chinese! congratulations and keep it up 🤭!
    5
  7351. Just so you know, I'm on a marathon on watching your vids since last week when one of your vids popped up on the recommended part of YouTube, and am not regretting every single one I've watched because i find it educational for me as a foreigner too; to learn a different language and seeing you use it in actual daily life is just outstanding. Lets all stay safe in these trying times.
    5
  7352. I loved the thematic of this video, the editing, the landscapes and the script 😍😍 everything was amazing
    5
  7353. Happy New Year!! Hajimemashite~ Oriental Pearl wa genki desu ka~ I am speaking Japanese language because of video Thumbnail.

  7354. Congrats, Alyssa and Tommy on your new home and the 1M subs. Your home is gorgeous. I am heading over to sub to Tokyo Drew right now. May Drew receive the very best care for his illness and I hope he reaches his target goal to pay for his treatment of his health condition very quickly.
    5
  7355. Japan is such an interesting place, even their garbage and slums looks like organized garbage and slums, and even the homeless people are polite! Try doing this in the US and you'd be lucky to get out alive.
    5
  7356. It seems "woke" critics are unable to see the fun in anything anymore. In their worldview every aspect of human behavior can/must only be interpreted as one person oppressing another person, and in the US that means white people oppressing everyone else. So a white person showing off his Chinese language skills is not interesting or inspiring, but problematic. But it's just someone making a fun video. Those videos are not meant to make fun of Chinese/Japanese people, they do the exact opposite. Speaking other languages bring people together, they bring down cultural barriers. In your case I'm getting a better feel of what it's like to live in a completely different culture, it's interesting to hear someone speak about learning new languages who's mastered two languages that are really difficult for speakers of Germanic languages.

  7357. This is my fav channel, we want more vids Greetings from Yemen 🇾🇪

  7358. Fascinating video. The younger Japanese seemed more chilled out after the first shock and surprise. ✌️👍👏

  7359. 菊地さんの動画から来ました！

  7360. I was worried about you after not seeing anything new for a while, now I see those concerns were justified. Earthquakes, blowfish and killer French fry pigeons. Kampai 🍷
    5
  7361. I lived in Japan for 20 years. When I first came I was in Kyodo Tsushin (like the BBC!) and the people there were a little reserved. (What is this Gaijin!) Over 7 years I have made friends with my Japanese colleagues. I keep in touch with them as much as I can. I even married a Japanese. I lived in Jiyugaoka. When I went into the supermarket and came to the tills I would smile and try and use my Japanese. There was Andersen's and the people behind the tills always smiled... I have to go back to Japan after the Coronavirus... I love the Japanese....
    5
  7362. I loved how you switch from chinesse to japanesse during a conversation. You and Xiaomanyc are very inspirational. Keep on doing these videos.
    5
  7363. Anming don’t stop with Chinese and Japanese....you can master Korean too...,especially with your experience with those two. Even though they are linguistically unrelated, they have so much in common that they can pave the way for Korean, both written and spoken. Written Korean, with its 24 letter alphabet, would be apiece of cake for you. In a matter of hours, not days, you would get a handle on it, some pronunciation hurdles not withstanding. Sentence word order is the same as Japanese, with a little more emphasis on honorifics. No question that this third fascinating language would round out and enrich your East Asian experience.
    5
  7364. No way! I didn’t know there were actual people who are mad at her for speaking other languages, people are actually that jealous it’s crazy. Much love from me! I love these videos and I wanna see more!!!
    5
  7365. That second encounter had me smiling ear-to-ear. Now my face hurts. Thanks.
    5
  7366. Not shocked no one is reacting Japanese would be use to it by now same in Cali, for the most part (depends on the level and your location) we don't react when an earthquake happens.
    5
  7367. Amazing American accent!!! Would have expected your guest as being American!
    5
  7368. How's it going Anming. New subscriber here. By the way. Don't sell yourself short when it comes to speaking Chinese or Japanese. You kicked ass in this interview :-)
    5
  7369. I have always wanted to visit Japan, I pray that one day I can go there and try lots of foods. Thank you for sharing this with the world, it was fun to watch your interactions with locals and their reactions to you speaking the language.
    5
  7370. Great video! It shows that the only way to learn a language is to speak it.
    5
  7371. Do they really mean it Nobudy will ever know👁️👄👁️ (First)
    5
  7372. I personally,am utterly amazed by your videos. I think those complaining about the videos would complain about anything,just whining. Its amazing to be able to communicate with people of the world
    5
  7373. The pushback is crazy! Anming, I'm rather envious of you and Jessica. Both of you are so fortunate to live through this magnificent journey., where the rest of us can only do so vicariously through your videos. I know that being there as a foreigner is not easy, but both of you ladies have done everything you could do to bridge the cultural and language gap. I'm not entirely certain what it is that you are supposed to do to pacify the haters....I just don't get it.
    5
  7374. This is amazing video 🫶🏻
    5
  7375. Keep up the good work oriental pearl :)
    5
  7376. Thats Super Amazing You can talk to Japanese People Fluently Im Very Impressed and iwant to Speak There Language Gambate!
    5
  7377. Her : those people are not shy Me: NOT SHY NOT ME ITZYYYYY
    5
  7378. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Chinese also sleep on hard surfaces. Technically they have beds, yeah, but they are almost as hard as a floor, so I have to put two thick blankets to make mine usable for a non-Asian.
    5
  7379. Congrats on the master's degree. Been wondering why I haven't seen much lately. Hope you are doing well and am safe. Take care. Spin
    5
  7380. randomly touches dried bag. LOL
    5
  7381. This video was just randomly recommended to me but I am a half Japanese half white girl and I lived in Japan for most of my life and that first scene was such a familiar experience to me. Although I don't have blonde hair or green eyes, I have mostly european looking features I guess (like deeper set eyes and naturally curled up lashes, high nose, lighter brown hair etc.) So I got a lot of people being so facinated by the way I look, probably also because I am mixed and maybe it was hard to tell my race, but I think it's so interesting how being slightly different in Japan will intrigue people since Japanese society tend to be like everyone want to fit in with eachother and don't want to stand out too much and so when you look even a little different, it is easy to catch. Anyways I really enjoyed this video and how you are able to speak 3 languages, that's amazing!!
    5
  7382. Those haters are right. Anming looks like the worst type of aristocratic british colonizer in her equestrian fashion. 🤣
    5
  7383. Loved the reactions . All are so happy .

  7384. Now it's time to grab some Nepali people and talk with them and learn some Nepali words, I bet that would be fun! Your fan from Nepal 加油！爱你！！
    5
  7385. I wonder how many people got interested in learning another language because of the polyglots channels? At least got to learn some words to surprise my Korean hairdresser! It was beautiful to see them smiling. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  7386. How can people not watch till the end? It always sneaks up on me. Awww over already. ❤😊

    5
  7396. I love how you balance being respectful of people plus making informative and entertaining videos!!!
    5
  7397. Holy Smokes your videos are ticking all the boxes for the activities and Japanese culture that I want to take part in when I get to Japan. I've been super interested in Kyudo for years, the elegance, tradition, meditation, skill, and art form are bound together in this Japanese tradition screams Japan in every way. Super happy I stumbled upon your videos, and I love the passion you have for Japan. Your goober laugh :P and positive personality makes touring Japan with you a real treat! Can only imagine you walking the streets of Tokyo pointing... " That's Cool! Uh that's cool! Oh soo cool! That's cool too!" :) Keep it up!
    5
  7398. I’m probably the only one who got your Kill Bill costume but Dragon Ball went right over my head. Dragon Ball is like One Piece for me - too long and intimidating to get started. But I felt so guilty tonight I bought the first 50 volumes of One Piece in Japanese for Kindle so now I have to read it.
    5
  7399. Love this! What a talented girl! Language really brings people of different cultures together. Peace & Love
    5
  7400. My granddaughter and I, snuggle down and watch you Love you for giving us this "good" time One YT video suitable for her, educational and I thank you
    5
  7401. Anming, I love your channel. I became fluent in Chinese using many of the methods you described from 2003 to 2005. I too had a Ms word document of Chinese of over two hundred pages. I even used the same Chinese textbooks you used. It’s very interesting how similar our methods were. I also wrote a lot in a blog and would “自言自语” intensely in preparation of my speaking sessions and did a homestay in China. I would recommend this in addition to what you mentioned. I too met my partner this way and we have been happily married ever since. For the last 5 years I have been learning Japanese on my own, but now I have a family and career and like you said finding the time has become difficult as I don’t have time to enroll in a language school. Having a bf/gf/so is such a game changer too. I spoke only Chinese to my partner for 5 years straight, but this is not option for Japanese for me now. I am interested in understanding how much do you attribute your fluency due to having a bf in Japanese? And if you have any additional specific tips for people like me who are learning languages while juggling careers and family life.

    5
  7410. 7:50, " I didn't know sauna", he, " SAU NAN DESU", a hilarious moment!
    5
  7411. It's pretty even. I think with Chinese folks you get a more demonstrative reaction than the others. It's like you said it is probably not as prevalent to see reactions like that on YouTube as you get in reality. Overall, reactions are more likely for a Westerner speaking an Asian language than for a non native person speaking English. It's probably because English is a universal language or lingua franca for the planet. Thus there are hardly any reactions for foreigners speaking English in the US or Canada. Maybe a place like Mexico or in South America you might get some surprised looks for the non native Spanish speakers. Sorry for being a little long winded. It does seem like an interesting topic to do a poll or study on.
    5
  7412. 私は日本人で、中国語を学習しています。また、英語も学習中ですので、その全てを話すことができるあなたのチャンネルを見つけたのでチャンネル登録しました！これからも楽しく見させていただきます。

  7413. Man, try putting those vending machine (Japan has a lot of them) in my country, they will be broken and empty the next days
    5
  7414. God I wish I could move to japan but I’ve got tattoos on my arms and have heard that would limit my chances of employment A LOT. I’ll just live vicariously through YouTubers :)
    5
  7415. It has a lot more cases (a lot of them locative), and uses agglutination to add details about the subject (which is why words can become so long). Also, it has vowel harmony, and the genitive and partitive always trip me up. On the positive side, there is no feminine/masculine in the language, so you gotta rely on context, and Finns tend to leave subjects like I/you/they(him/her) out of the sentence altogether when the context is obvious, kinda like Japanese. So, the grammar is doable once you get the hang of it, but the vocabulary... Oh man, that's a mindf*ck. Ugric is so damn different from germanic/latin languages if you're used to those...
    5
  7416. It happened to me yesterday! hahaha! I was eating in a restaurant here in Taiwan when a stranger tried to chat with me in Tagalog (Philippine language), then he cannot understand some words, so I spoke in Chinese, then another person (from their table) talked to me in English, and he was translating to a Japanese (also on that table). To make it easier, I talked to them in 4 languages. It caught a lot of attention and people stopped and started watching us. It was very funny
    5
  7417. i've been told that everything in japan was SMALL but i was not expeting things to be really THAT SMALL wow. it must have been a tough 6 months for you. I'd love to study abroad (whether in china or japan i don't know yet) but now i realise that beside studying abroad you also get to LIVE abroad and i don't know if i'm ready for an experience like that yet !
    5
  7418. Nice! Do they still call them "mansions?" 😎
    5
  7419. The way I see it is that you can see something as positive or negative. There are times when I've seen "cultural appropriation" in the sense someone is ignorantly using something from another culture. I agree that's a problem. But now it's become hating on people for appreciating a different culture whatsoever, AND based on someone's skin colour. There's a huge difference between someone, say, wearing a kimono to look cool to other people and wearing one because you appreciate and admire the history/culture/etc. It's like people are saying we need to respect other cultures more but we're not allowed to appreciate it or immerse ourselves in it. In my opinion they are putting people down because of their heritage rather than looking at the individual and how they are interacting with another culture. When it comes down to it, you have the choice for how you interpret that interaction. People can do something ignorant with a good intention as well. It's people's hearts that should matter above everything else, if someone makes a mistake in innocence then we shouldn't hold it against them. And above all, it isn't that productive to complain and criticize and shame others, if you truly want to solve the problem then you need empathy and patience. Instead of allowing people to learn about cultures and come to appreciate it, they end up deterring people completely by being hostile and gatekeeping.
    5
  7420. in my experience, speak a little of japanese really make a big difference. They will get comfortable to talk to and getting warmer.
    5
  7421. Omg... I cant speak mandarin as good as you. And im Chinese lol
    5
  7422. i've decided to spend my retirement in japan (im still a freshman in college lol ) it looks really peaceful
    5
  7423. I'm telling people right now I say 50,000 by July 1st...probably much earlier. I was late to her wonderful channel at the 6,000 subscriber mark. I'm telling you others should follow you just to see your interactions with people. It's just awesome. I don't need a YouTube channel of jackass kids with uninteresting content. And I got notified about this video earlier but just watched in now which is 3:50pm Chicago time. Good Stuff. We all love you. 💘
    5
  7424. thats really wonderful i plan on moving to japan when ill get my diploma 2 years left :°)

    5
  7432. I don’t comment a lot on videos, but I absolutely love Tommy, and have to say that you two are so perfectly matched. I am here visiting my son who lives in Tokyo, and my feelings for Japan are demonstrated by Tommy’s reaction to America. I have been here many times, but never for Christmas, so I am super stoked for this visit. Can’t wait for your next video!

  7437. ▓▒░ @Oriental Pearl ▬ I have a question about your April  09th, 2020 video  titled: Speaking Chinese in America! Plus: Doing Chinese TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HJ7DS0coTI&t=567s&gl=US Does that Mandarin Bible actually translate John chapter fourteen verse six as “the way, the truth, and the life” with the SAME meaning as in the King James Version? ░ I know certain words don't always translate the same  way  in a different language. ░▒▓ `

  7438. This video was so beautiful - I enjoyed watching it after work and it soothed my heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
    5
  7439. I speak Spanish Italian and French. And it’s an amazing reaction when you switch from one to another. 😅 the most beautiful thing is to be able to communicate properly with people. Love the Chinese Japanese culture and people seem so friendly. Let’s see what I can pick up 👍
    5
  7440. I liked the background music, Anming. That was different.

  7445. At end when he left was so dramatic. And You said "and their he for another adventure" loved it.
    5
  7446. Lmao a lot of creative people out in Japan but also a lot of people just throwing on random stuff on their heads as costumes
    5
  7447. I really miss Japan. I'm glad I found your channel. It's nice to see everyday life in Japan again. Your Japanese is amazing too!
    5
  7448. I seriously find Japanese people so wholesome and sweet.
    5
  7449. Excellent interview! Both informative and fun. Looking forward to more!
    5
  7450. Hello Sister. How are you? Good to see you after long days ❤️❤️❤️. Really appreciate your hardwork. Your videos always amazing and u are one of my favourite youtuber ❤️. Keep it up 🙏
    5
  7451. You and Tommy will have to travel back to Detroit again soon, the Lions won their division and are having the first playoff game at Ford field in thirty years. The city has exploded with pride for the team. Even if sports is not your thing just seeing the way it's made the people of Detroit feel has been amazing. I hope after I retire to visit Japan, and very much enjoy watching your videos, especially when you visit the more rural prefectures, I think those people are even more surprised at your language abilities. Best wishes from MIchigan!

  7452. How long did it take to learn Chinese/Japanese? Had you been learning it before you left the US. So 8 years or more
    5
  7453. Awesome street moments like always. But be careful out there.
    5
  7454. I respect everyone playing rock/metal
    5
  7455. Please do more of full japanese speaking videos. I really like it when you speak only japanese and no english. I've been looking for such kind of videos for a long time.
    5
  7456. Can you please do video where you speak to random Japanese Guys in Japan??
    5
  7457. They surrounded her quick! They were happy hearing there native language
    5
  7458. You both have such positive attitudes. Beautiful vlog😊
    5
  7459. Yeah, it's good that you've made peace with the constant questions about your Chinese. That's never going to end! So making the best of it is a good thing.
    5
  7460. I love watching people learn new things, and experience new things. Culture, food, lifestyle. I love every aspect of it. Doesn't matter what color you are. I love it when people embrace things from my culture. I wish people saw it that way.
    5
  7461. So interesting to see you as the "aggressor/instigator" in the Chinese meets westerner exchange, normally it's very much the other way around with Chinese people's curiousity (or whatever it is) about us when we're in China. It must be some kind of alternative reality experience for them haha (the guy doing the cooking seemed a bit like "wtf?" at first). My "tall nose" was always a fascination in China too (not always in positive sense though), I never even heard the term until I went there.
    5
  7462. Wow you switch your langauge channel so quickly😆 Sometimes I will get lost if i switch between Cantonese, Mandarin, English🤯
    5
  7463. Lol that person was flapping their arms like a chicken how funny. Much love towards the video and oriental pearl. Muah love and kisses.
    5
  7464. I name your friend "Mr shy guy" he seems quite nervous and shy it's cute!
    5
  7465. I'm gonna have to agree with the railing part.
    5
  7466. Seeing the excitement in Tommy’s eyes as he experiences new things, warms my heart 🤩❤️
    5
  7467. You definitely missed a golden opportunity to pinch his cheek to see whether he really has thick skin! :D
    5
  7468. When I open YouTube and see some content and immediately notice your new upload video....Without second thought I open and watch it...
    5
  7469. I love language related videos. Katie is so awesome. Can't wait to start seeing her videos on YouTube. The length is not an issue for me. Thanks
    5
  7470. youtube推荐了这个视频给我 ，太好笑了
    5
  7471. Love these videos!!! You’re always wonderful, authentic in your presentation. Keep them coming!
    5
  7472. Very interesting glimpse into the homeless problem in another country. Thank you for caring and sharing
    5
  7473. Refreshing content! Another enjoyable video. Thank you
    5
  7474. After the current situation I will go to Japan for sure!
    5
  7475. Greetings from Germany ☺️
    5
  7476. Great video and such an interesting topic. 💕
    5
  7477. Japanese is such a beautiful language, I just love hear it.
    5
  7478. This is awe-inspiring. I wish I have at least the confidence to come and talk to people using my own language. 😂 😂 😂 I wish you can speak Tagalog too. I know there's not much people learning it but we can at least support you. Filipinos love people who appreciate our culture.
    5
  7479. The kill bill was sick lmao. My friend whose "light skin" said he got stares a lot in japan, but when he stared back they turned away. Apparently he said in South Korea when he caught them staring they would just keep staring. Has it been hard making Japanese friends in Japan?
    5
  7480. I watch your channel and it makes me feel better every time. People's reactions when you answer them in their language are hilarious :) You are an amazing person and you should be a role model. You show how to be open to other people with respect for their culture and language. I wish you all the best.
    5
  7481. Hai! Congratulations!
    5
  7482. Congratulations!!!🎊🎉🎈
    5
  7483. I am so happy for you. I loved the video. It would be great if you shared more videos about your personal lives; especially your journey to marriage.
    5
  7484. God bless you both. Much happiness and love
    5
  7485. Congrats! Yes, more content about you guys! It won’t bore us, that’s why we’re subs!
    5
  7486. Congratulations Anming!!! You will certainly level up your Japanese AND life happiness!!
    5
  7487. You can’t do this…I was wanting to meet you and get to know you! Aw shucks….congrats!
    5
  7488. おめでとう❣️
    5
  7489. I'd love to see more about your life with him! You two are adorable! You should make a separate channel that's for both of you and just document random stuff you get up to!! And I'd love to see some clips from your wedding if you are willing to share it!
    5
  7490. What a wonderful possibility 2 months ago... Deciding on Okinawa or Philippines... 😁😁😁 I Okinawa myself but never been to Japan nor Okinawa. I had a chance to go with my family when I was a child but I made some pretty bad choices as a youth and, unfortunately, missed that opportunity. 😭😭😭 Fortunately, I get to go travelling with you... 👏👏👏 Such a beautiful place... Wow..!!! Those Filipino boat drivers have skills.
    5
  7491. Hey great job! I'm trying to learn Japanese. Funny but little difficult. I'm from Brazil and there are so many people from Japan here. Have a awesome day!
    5
  7492. Tommy is very, very patient...it must be love 💕
    5
  7493. Well, the whole time watching this, i was asking myself what is a native langage level? actually as a french woman i can't tell what would be the normal level of a french native speaker. It really depend on education, social class, curiosity, loving to read or not... and some french poeple, despite the fact they are french would actually fail really fast in having a deep conversation beeing at lose of word easily to express their toughts and fellings, its even worth if you look at grammar or orthograph level... So when you can't tell what should be the level of a native in is own langage how could you tell what it should be for a foreigner? ... In my opinion, langage is a tool, you should just make sure it can make what you want to. And with that mindset, I will let my comment that way (without google translate it to correct it, that i usually do), if you understand what i mean then my goal is reach, it's enough to me for today^^ if not maybe iam wrong XD
    5
  7494. "You've got a friend in me"
    5
  7495. "You shouldn't either." Anming, your videos are always so inspiring and energising. Thank you for making them!❤
    5
  7496. I used your code last month for a 3 month supply of Sakura co box as a gift for my friend who is obsessed with Japan. Should be getting here tomorrow I think! So excited to give it to them.
    5
  7497. Should tell them you’re from Russia, China’s friend not enemy lmao 😂
    5
  7498. 5:10 OMG LOL I seen that person back in January singing out loud outside Harajuku station!
    5
  7499. The Catholic singing in Japanese was really interesting. It has exactly the same kind of traditional Catholic feel as in English or Latin but it's of course being sung in an Eastern language here.
    5
  7500. I would like to see more videos like this. Maybe you could explain to us Gaijins how we can stay in Japan for a few months or so and what are the options the country allows to foreigners.
    5
  7501. Your "Japanese noises" are so convincing! I mean like ano... or 嗯嗯 in Chinese ...
    5
  7502. Thank you for sharing your experience! It's a nice inside look at what being a teacher abroad might look like, and it seemed to be a lot of fun :)
    5
  7503. 5:38 Yeah I feel the same as this guy. You are not of this realm.
    5
  7504. Two of the most difficult languages to learn. It takes a smart person to master even one. You're so humble. Hats off.
    5
  7505. Walk like an American🎶🎵🚶🏼🚶🏽‍♂️ えええええ
    5
  7506. dear anming, you just up'ed the level of presentation 100 %. you are so right about what you know and say. sharing it for others to follow is commendable. no shrink influence as education often is being infiltrated with. we don't want'm. thank you for the efforts to help to make this a better place.
    5
  7507. The guys at the end were so funny with their reactions! 😂 I don't blame them, though! He did a great job building him!! 🤩🎊🏆
    5
  7508. I agree with you about a lot of videos being arrogant! Whenever my boyfriend puts on a J-Vlogger I tell him to turn it off, hahaha. It's nice to hear you talk positively and welcoming about your experiences :)
    5
  7509. Binge watching all your vids :D
    5
  7510. I think when that said "日本語上手ですね" is not a true is not a lie neither, is just a compliment for making the effort to speak their language.
    5
  7511. All the small packaging is probably due to お土産 culture.
    5
  7512. I envy you. I wanna learn Japanese so bad
    5
  7513. 7:29 introducing Japan's country side with.... The European Union's hymn 😅
    5
  7514. This is the real Japan! 😍Please make more videos like this!🙂👍
    5
  7515. Wow, I just wanted to tell you how inspiring you and your videos are!!! I started learning Chinese at a language school nearby in December, but the class has been suspended since Corona came to the EU. I am still new to Chinese so I just practice the stuff I already now because I don’t want to get anything wrong, I‘m kinda waiting to be able to see our teacher again. Meanwhile, I started studying Japanese 3 months ago just for fun, and I‘ve come so far already!!! Idk why, but whenever I see your videos I am getting such a big confidence boost!!!!
    5
  7516. Haha was so fun hanging with you on Halloween! Glad to see you handing out candy and keeping the spirit of Halloween alive in Shibuya and Shinjuku!❤🎃
    5
  7517. 2:23 ummmm I think your are super pretty
    5
  7518. Question: did learning another language make you such a great conversationalist? Or do you have a list of things you wanna break the ice with while making these videos?
    5
  7519. Actually the word Yankee originally was a negative word that the British used to rever to the Dutch settlers and comes from the Dutch names Jan and Kees.
    5
  7520. Been studying Japanese for 4 years and moving there next month - I’m honestly pretty worried that people will have those big reactions when I speak Japanese to them, since when I speak Japanese to my Japanese friends in the states they act shocked a lot and think it’s really cute and it’s kinda hard not to think of it as condescending.
    5
  7521. But you'll also notice in a numerous videos that Anming has stated that she isn't special, and with dedication and willingness, proficiency in new languages is something available to anyone. We do need to get out of the habit of assuming these things about others, because we internalize them too and feel we can't reach our own language goals.
    5
  7522. This was so adorable, it almost made me cry!
    5
  7523. It's the same all around the world. The poorest people are usually way more generous, polite and "happy". It's a shame that they get treated like subhumans, sure there are bad apples, but stereotyping is a major human problem. Love these new kind of videos, thanks for shedding some light on these places that we usually don't get to see! God bless.

  7524. 在日外国人の多くが新型コロナに感染しているけどどう思います？あなたの周りに陽性判明後に逃げ回ってる輩がいるでしょ。

  7525. I've spent over 30 years now in Japan. While I still retain my upbringing, I have adopted many traits that Japanese don't expect from me.
    5
  7526. Beijing for me. I would like the conversion rate better🙂👍
    5
  7527. Both those guys wanted you to drop the Japanese guy for them.
    5
  7528. 0:26 well, rejection exists for a reason — it’s a means to keep people apart who are not good for each other.
    5
  7529. That's ain't Yakuza lady, the whole comment sections is the real Yakuza.
    5
  7530. Omg props to you for being able to just start conversations w random people and in another language!! Girl I could never 😭😭 I wanna learn japanese I currently know simple phrases and ik how to count in japanese
    5
  7531. I will use that too along with rosetta stone the website. You are talented. God blessed you alot. Continue your journey. Love and kisses all day to you and eveyday.😍😘😗😙😚☺🙂🤗.
    5
  7532. The editing style brought a different kind of vibe this time... kinda eerie, kinda cool... Thanks for the great content. Keep it up!
    5
  7533. Omg!! This was the best video yet! Every video is so interesting but this one showed his really unique perspective. Great job. Can’t wait to see the movie he made. 👏👏💯💜 Also congrats on 1 mil subscribers! 🙌 Added: I’ve just watched the documentary. It’s wonderful. Such awesome work by that organization and volunteers to help reconnect children of divorce with their non-custodial parent. Heartbreaking that currently Japan awards one parent with the child and the other loses all rights and sometimes all contact. Hopefully the laws will change soon. Great documentary. 👏👏💯
    5
  7534. I am on day 17 of Pimsleur Japanese. You are one of the reasons I started to become interested in Japan and their culture, so thanks :)
    5
  7535. 中国語ペラペラですね！XD 面白かったです^^
    5
  7536. Sorry to hear that you've been hacked. And yes some people will do anything for the almighty dollar. Wish you luck and much prosperity. And thank you for your videos in Japan. I'm half Japanese and it warms my heart very much to see videos of Japan.
    5
  7537. Wow, the part when you talk about wanting to pass the "wow" reactions and have a meaningful conversation got me. I moved out from my country at 16, to another country that spoke the same language but very different accent. I remember that first 3 years, The people got excited to hear me talk in another accent, but nobody really listened to what I said. So I felt lonely at first, and force myself to get the same accent so I could have a conversation instead of "That a nice accent, say something else". I can't even imagine it being a whole different language. You made me understand why I felt bad when all I got was "wow" reactions, and nothing else pass that.
    5
  7538. Need more bloopers 🤣 Love your content and how the channel is growing. It’s rare to find a girl like you in Michigan
    5
  7539. Congratulations on 1M! This was a great video. I can't wait to see both of you blowing the minds of mainland China!
    5
  7540. I love your interactions with your Chinese roommates!

    5
  7544. I liked that little subliminal "subscribe".
    5
  7545. The saying "doesn't last longer than 3 days" what does it look like in wording, in Japanese?
    5
  7546. Lisa is Beautiful!!! 😜 I really love her Hair and Outfits!

  7547. Now I’m really on your Mum’s side...do 100 skydives than learn a difficult language (like Finnish)! :D
    5
  7548. Whenever you come back to America I’ll buy you a beer 🤗
    5
  7549. Chinese here, I personally think there is a translation wrong with what the host was saying by"zi ji jie shao ba", which was translated as "introduce yourself" by this lady, and this makes the host sound like he was giving an order while the truth is if you have a knowledge of Chinese grammars, you would simply notice there is a translation miss of the line. The last word of the line "ba" works to express a speaker's mood of uncertainty or suggestion without real meaning. That is why I believe "you d better do a self-introduction" that is a more proper way of translation for the above line.
    5
  7550. I really enjoyed these rickshaw drivers! What a fun video. I want some tabi shoes!! I think I could rock them.
    5
  7551. Congratulations! I’m so happy for you guys

  7552. I wish we had fashion like that in the UK I would definitely wear Japanese clothing 😍😍😍
    5
  7553. You really never disappoint me to continue learn a language!! 谢谢 감사해요~ ありがとうございます!　Salamat~ Thank you ❤
    5
  7554. Think the maid café saw you coming
    5
  7555. I love how you incorporate your fashion sense into your videos. You know, you could ask the companies that you love if they’d sponsor your videos too!
    5
  7556. I think if you worked at a "regular" Japanese office, you wouldn't have been able to film. But it's still fun to see what your job is! So jelly of your Japanese skills :)
    5
  7557. I’m getting the impression that you have one massive sweet tooth. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
    5
  7558. Welcome to USA again!!! Come to New England

  7559. Earlyyy And what a lovely friend :)

  7560. No reason to live in fear

  7561. Congratulations!!!🎉
    5
  7562. Shoot, people make mistakes in their own native language. I don’t know how many times I have had to slow down while speaking in English because I was stumbling and breaking the language.
    5
  7563. ▓▒░  Body  language. _ I  don't know about Koreans, but  I've noticed that when Chinese  and Japanese people refer to themselves, they point at  their  noses instead of at  their chest. I wonder if anyone else has  noticed that, too.  ░▒▓ `

  7564. That was really a lot of fun for you!!! 🎉

  7567. So glad you made a video on this. Now I can say all my favorite language YouTubers have made a video about these "recent events".

  7569. i really like this content! Especially since it's hard to go outside, unless it's for essentials
    5
  7570. 4:06 That guy... Can you tell me what were his real intentions?
    5
  7571. These type of videos are fun ♥️♥️♥️♥️ plz upload more like this...
    5
  7572. Wow congratulations to you both! May you live an happy life^^
    5
  7573. This episode was disgustingly funny! Haha. The aesthetician was digging for gold. Nice!
    5
  7574. I'm happy for the 1 million subs. But wouldn't it be better do get a private house for that amount outside of Tokyo? 🤔 Surely, it's cheaper, right? I could be wrong. Correct me on that. For 1 mil $, I could build 10x houses for that amount where I'm from. 😀
    5
  7575. You just kicked my motivation back into gear! You’re so inspiring and persistent. More videos on this new language journey. I would love to learn more about your techniques and approaches to learning.
    5
  7576. Amen to that! (Your message that is)
    5
  7577. He was so adorable!
    5
  7578. I love when someone from another race participate in another culture!! That's what spreading love is all about! 😍🤩🤩
    5
  7579. So fun!!! I am from singapore and if i ever get to the US i also want to see muscle cars in action and fire a gun!!
    5
  7580. my dream to speak Japanese, Mandarin (Chinese) and Korean, I can speak a little English and I am studying Japanese and improving my English, I am Brazilian My native language is Portuguese ;_;
    5
  7581. Your videos always give me motivation to pick up my Korean books again. I'd love to get to a level where I could shock people! I loved the way the restaurant went so quiet 🤣🤣. As always, love your vids and hope you're well
    5
  7582. I love archery
    5
  7583. "Your parents must be lonely then" HAHAHA true, because in Asian culture we value our parents, unlike the west, they "leave the nest" and mostly forget about their parents. Not all, but that's the culture of the West. That's why the Japanese lady said to her (after she explained where she was going/living) that "Your parents must be lonely".
    5
  7584. Really, really nice shots of the city. Thanks.
    5
  7585. Yo, thank you so much!!!!! I just started learning the japanese langauge quite a few weeks ago... You have no idea how discouraged I was yesterday, but now I felt better. I also managed to understand some words here and there😁, am proud of my self! 😅 Edit: thanks! ✌️
    5
  7586. One uncomfortable thing I noticed about my time in Tokyo was people moving away from me and my French, German, and British colleagues when we entered the subway. We noticed sometimes when we took a seat (alone or with eachother), people next to us would get up and chose a new seat away from us. We were all mostly based out of Shanghai, and it was never the case there nor our respective hometowns. Not something necessarily bad, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make us feel unwelcome. Any insight on this?
    5
  7587. A 7.1 earthquake is far from common ... 😳 in Los Angeles that would be considered life threatening.. glad to see that you guys are alright

  7590. Hi I'm from Chile I really like your videos!!!, I love learning about new lenguajes. English was the first lenguaje that i try to learn (i speak spanish) and now i really enjoy listening japonese or Chinese. Love you !
    5
  7591. Wow never knew such thing existed in Japan, learned something new today. Thanks Anming, love watching your content.😃
    5
  7592. Love Tommy’s reactions 😂
    5
  7593. We miss Japan soooo much! We would love to be back this Christmas . . . . but . . . . My wife is a MK and born and raised in Japan. We have been married 40 years (Oregon USA) and periodically visit Friends and Relatives in Japan. Every time we go, she gets a reaction many times. My translation is the Japanese reacts with surprise and says, "Your accent is perfect!!!" It doesn't matter where we go in Japan - we get the same reaction. And then the friendliness and surprising familiarity opens up!!! We love Japan, with the last time being in January at the Sapporo Winter Festival, and then Sendai with Friends like Family, and then Nara with Family.
    5
  7594. "Just go out and make friends." That's the truth, ain't it?
    5
  7595. No matter what you do, you can’t please everyone. You should always do what you want to do, not what others want you to do. Once you learn that, then you start to make yourself even happier
    5
  7596. I would go back to being straight just because of Katie, she's extremely beautiful not even kidding rn!! One reason I watched the whole video was because of her, the other one is because of how much I love Japan and it's culture, and I guess a third one could be hearing y'all speak 😅. Arigatou gozaimasu!!!
    5
  7597. Thank you for making these videos, i love seeing these little glimpses of life in Japan and i love seeing the old style houses. Thank you for sharing.
    5
  7598. Wow Amazing? You really are something else my friend
    5
  7599. I actually have many friends in Japan from HelloTalk! I can't wait to travel to Japan one day and meet them 🥺💓

  7600. The curse of the good-looking woman. 👩‍🦳
    5
  7601. I think the Korean content will definitely be a novelty on this channel! I'm really liking the variation you have been trying to bring to the channel. Your last documentary-type video of that Japanese slum in Osaka was really great to watch.
    5
  7602. I'm from germany and I love to see all these videos where people are able to speak different languages and try to talk to native speakers. For me it's not like "showing off" it's more like enjoying to watch the progress they made and I often can relate to the surprised reactions of the native speakers because german is not a language that many foreigners learn and if I see a refugee, a soldier, a tourist or whoever who tries to speak in German to me then I'm always happy to see people being interested in my culture. I personally think that making these videos of speaking to native speakers will actually help to motivate people to keep learning. I started to learn my girlfriends native language too a while ago and seeing a positive reaction of a native speakers is like a good feedback to me. So keep up the good work 🤍
    5
  7603. I looks more like they who scare you.

  7604. Love this :)

  7605. Great personality, insane language skills,just great human being - keep it up,im glad i found this channel,just be yourself and be happy...I wish you the best.
    5
  7606. as a central european, i'd also be surprised by foreigners speaking my language fluently, though i probably wouldn't make it very obvious
    5
  7607. Aye anming💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

  7614. Everybody like and subscribe! She gives us so much of herself and only asks for a few little clicks and it's the least you can do so get on it people!

  7615. Love the variety! This was very interesting. He seemed pretty chill for the most part just kinda interesting🧐. I’d rather deal with that then the super pushy Nigerian guys in Shinjuku where I stayed last time. 😫 I think the direction your going with the channel is great! There are a lot of things people don’t know that happen in Japan before visiting! I felt safe when I was in shinjuku with my boyfriend that one time cause those guys were so over the top!

  7622. Kill Bill!? I love it!!! 😆😆
    5
  7623. What a peach of a video! :D
    5
  7624. He seemed really cool, I was like oh no another creep, but he seemed like a chill dude. Would like to see vids with you both 😊
    5
  7625. When did you start to learn Japanese? I'm trying to learn it by myself but it's pretty hard 😅
    5
  7626. I laughed when I first saw you in that Kill Bill outfit. I knew the reference right away. Who better to play the part, you got the blonde hair and blue eyes. Plus, you speak Japanese just like Beatrix Kiddo. 😸
    5
  7627. Love the bike riding footage!! Such great editing 💗
    5
  7628. I love how when I watch your channel I never know what languages will be spoken.
    5
  7629. I'm not little. When I was living in Japan I had many eyes staring at me daily! Being 6'2" 200lbs with 52" shoulders and a 34" waist, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Men look down on me, some would try to mess with me at work. Even tried to fight with me. They knew I was stronger than them so they tested me. I was there to teach these people, not fight. They were jealous of me. But I didn't care. I just did my job. I would never have a problem getting a girlfriend. But I already had one and wasn't interested in destroying my relationship with the woman who later became my wife.
    5
  7630. These people are so cheerful you can’t help but smile with them
    5
  7631. This was really nice of you to just talk to them I'd feel more comfortable for sure if I was in a foreign country.
    5
  7632. It's funny, I have the same mentality as you: what's the worst that can happen, ignore you? My native language is Spanish, grew up learning English in elementary school, and then took Italian in high school. Then I studied German on my own. I used my Italian in Italy every single time I traveled there. No one knew I wasn't Italian lol. My German is not as good, but again, even the basic elementary German I know, made me blend in (I think it's the skin tone and knowing the proper pronunciation). I am now learning Japanese.

  7634. Wow! Japan is a beautiful country specially there bullet train but its too expensive to travel there so i just spend my vacation in my home country 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 in just 45 days.Well travel safe pretty and Happy New Year ⚘♥️ Fr.Doha,Qatar 🇶🇦

  7635. I started laughing when you said you were scared repeatedly 🤣 the snakes were so cute 🥺 but i would be a little scared too 👉👈
    5
  7636. This is so beautiful to watch! Congratulations pearl, and keep up the amazing videos, love your material! :))
    5
  7637. As someone who is also mixed race, I 100% agree with fitting in best in the US. Nobody asks you what you are or where you come from in the states. You just belong. I still wouldn't move there, but it was incredibly refreshing hahaha
    5
  7638. Canada isn’t allowing most country’s to come either last I heard Americans were still allowed though
    5
  7639. This is awesome and why I also started to learn Japanese and Korean! I'm thinking of adding ASL to the bunch 😆😆😆😆, the one who got me into this was Laoshu505000, sucks he had passed away 😭💔. But what a break joy it brings me to see videos like this! Breaking the language barrier! Not only that but to keep on learning is amazing!
    5
  7640. Congrats on 1 million, i'm new here but this channel is awesome!
    5
  7641. That was really fun and interesting, thanks for giving us this insight. I am happy for him that he is able to enjoy both cultures without any problems.
    5
  7642. The production/editing of this video was top notch. The music choice was on point. This was top tier quality, I enjoyed it very much. Kudos to you for the hard work. :D
    5
  7643. I will watch it :D sounds like a very interesting video subject!
    5
  7644. Two things: Teaching English. It took me like a year to get the hang of it when I was in Taiwan. But having a topic makes it more fun and easy IMO. I never spoke any Chinese in class. Lots of hand motions, picture books and pointing with each word. It takes a lot of imagination and effort, but with the little ones they don't really know that you are speaking a foreign language, and they usually want to play, which requires paying attention. I missed teaching for like 5 years after I came back. But I have my own kids now, so I got to get back into it in a way. As for working over there, the people I know who got their job while they were in 'States always got paid WAY more than those that got the job while over there. Way more than if they did the same job in the 'States, or got the job after they got over there. I've got a friend in Japan that actually works in the 'States from Japan. (IT job, and an adult student of mine when I was teaching MCSE and CCNA courses in the 'States) He's tried to get into Google and a few other places, but despite having darned good spoken Japanese, he hasn't passed the highest fluency exam or something and always loses out if he can even get an interview. Darned shame for those companies, because on a technical level there isn't a better person out there on VMWare and Microsoft topics. To the point I cal him on those now more than he calls me nowadays.
    5
  7645. Not only is it amazing how she switches between Chinese and Japanese, for as far as I heard she didn’t stutter/ stammer much or say uh. Very impressive!

  7646. For an island nation that heavily relies on the ocean for feeding their population, they sure do make, manufacture and use lots of plastics.

  7647. One guy is intoxicated by alcohol and the other high on flirtiness. Both seems friendly though! :D

  7648. Yeah this is new for me xD. Interesting!
    5
  7649. Never stop making these videos please, so good :)
    5
  7650. Wait till you come to the Philippines. It's totally different here. Kids will be the one to approach you and ask you a lot of questions and wants to get to know you more while speaking in English.
    5
  7651. I love this! You guys are great and both have amazing Chinese levels! As someone who makes street interview videos about China, I am hoping to never get accused of being like a Chinese spy or something, like a shill for the government! IDK, I look at your guys' channels and it makes me wanna change up what I am doing to be more focused on like... a western perspective, I'm not really sure if it would be better for getting an audience or something. I watched your video with Matt and it seems that people are only interested in sensationalism and things of that nature here on YouTube, which is kind of disappointing!
    5
  7652. It is interesting hearing him talk about how he felt more welcome in America while Americans feel it is an extremely racist place. They have absolutely no outside perspective when they talk about that. Foreigners are far more appreciative of America than Americans themselves.
    5
  7653. The milk tea giving me memories of Japan. I miss it so much 😭
    5
  7654. I love what you said about how people are just people and we should put politics aside. I wish more people would just look at each other as human beings instead of judging them for their skin color, nationality, ethnicity, etc. because at the end of the day, we're all just people! And languages are great way to bring people together!
    5
  7655. your Japanese is awesome!!
    5
  7656. Your mother is so kind and heartwarming to meet your in-laws/his parents, Miss Alyssa, even though she is still learning how to speak Japanese.
    5
  7657. I’m definitely trying the tasty box
    5
  7658. She is the cutest old lady ever! :D lmao
    5
  7659. Love your running commentary. Very entertaining. And, your boyfriend's ineffective "shutup." Very funny. Yeah, it's made for kids, but adults can enjoy it. Like they can't drink Mai Tais for example. Like you had I think. Or they shouldn't, anyway. It would've been funny if Picachu got you kicked out of the park. Great video excursion.. Thanks.
    5
  7660. As a half German half Brazilian, this dude looks exactly 50/50 you can tell he looks like his mom but also has African features. Though not that much in his facial area. Great video btw 👌🏻🙏🏻
    5
  7661. Damnnnnn! This lady is GOOD no, fantastic. Definitely the best one I've seen on YouTube so far. I wish her all the luck and happiness in her endeavours.
    5
  7662. I’m subscribed, love your videos.
    5
  7663. How do you speak so well japanese?😭😭...I just started learning and it's to hard...how many days it took you for learning japanese??....❤️
    5
  7664. Absolutely brilliant 🤩 so interesting..What a wonderful life.
    5
  7665. Holy smokes, Michigan! Looks like the best time to visit again is during Halloween week instead of Sakura month? 😝 Awesome vid btw…Thanks chica! & keep ‘em comin’! 🤙🏼

  7666. You ladies are both so cool. I love it, I love Japan . I am also six years in China and now eight in Japan. Originally from Australia. Thanks for sharing.
    5
  7667. Will you continue your amazing and unique language learning train by learning Vietnamese via Korean as you are doing Korean via Japanese previously Japanese via Mandarin? So mind blowing! ++Aloha from Hawaii
    5
  7668. You're doing amazing, love your content !!!! Sadly, i won't be able to travel to Tokyo yet, but i will visit Moxy as soon as i get there some time this or next year !!!! :DDD
    5
  7669. I think the reason why so many people are guessing European countries is cause of her facial features. Aside from Native Americans, America doesn’t really have a specific ethnicity like that since it’s a land of immigrants. Plus, she talked about how she has German ancestry in another video. Nonetheless, another great video!
    5
  7670. I am from Uruguay, but have lived in the United States for just about 20 years now. It's definitely okay to appreciate more than just your originating culture. People who do not agree, are close-minded. I believe it's more important to understand different cultures, whether that means doing research or engaging in that culture's traditions. We don't get to choose where we are born, but we can take steps to lead us to where we want to end up.
    5
  7671. Impressive video as always ❤
    5
  7672. Gosh! I am SO happy for the both of you! You’ve received so many Graces by marrying in the Catholic Church (it is a Sacrament) Thank you for sharing your special day with us! For me, as a faithful, practicing Catholic it was so neat to see that the Catholic wedding liturgy is the same around the world. May God shower you both abundantly with His Graces
    5
  7673. It is interesting that almost all Japanese knows 一石二鳥 as a proverb but only a few people know that it is originally from Chinese. It is also funny that the pronunciation is totally different between Chinese and Japanese.
    5
  7674. Thank u for your hard work! Your videos bring me joy. But u should definitely get some rest. U stayed up so late getting these up so fast, haha
    5
  7675. New here from your collaboration 😊
    5
  7676. Good to see your interest to relearn chinese dialect that your forgotten, more language that your learn, more easy for your to learn next targeting language. stay happy and safe out there!!!
    5
  7677. I’m so happy to have found your channel. I went to Japan in year 11 for about a month. It’s been over ten years now and I yearn to go back, to see the mountains behind Nikko, to hang with the deers on miyajima and all the places I didn’t get to visit. Thank you for sharing your life and travels. Hopefully I will make it back one day!

  7680. Your mom must be protected at all costs with how precious she is. I loved when she met your husband and got sick of the nodding and just threw her arms around him 😂

  7681. The dancing and interview...first rate. Next video...can't wait!

  7682. Dang It! I wanted to be that lucky guy. Although I'm 4 years younger. Sheeesh. I wish you a happy married life ahead.😁

  7685. I went on a holiday with my partner on the Swiss alps a few years ago and beside us in the lodging up in the mountain, there was a Japanese man . We met every morning for breakfast and soon stated greeting each other, and before long, I could converse with him in basic Japanese, I was a little surprised that with a little effort, things can fall into place.
    5
  7686. yes, it seems easy, but I've been learning Japanese for 4 years, unfortunately beginners courses. I also started with (手 話) to use sign expressions to memorize Japanese, finally, I don't want to exclude people because of a disability. But (手 話) does need (敬 語), otherwise, what I read on the lips, doesn't fit with what they show with theyr Hand's. Honestly. Is the learning aid at pod101.com really that good, or will I be disappointed with courses for beginners? Thank you for your helpfull time.
    5
  7687. Your friends are so lucky to have you there to show them around. With your local knowledge and understanding of the culture, they see a side most ordinary tourist dont. Love all the content in this.... you make a great guide 🙏✌
    5
  7688. Your great don't get discouraged your'e channel will blow up soon!

  7689. Yeah I like that and think many others too. Stay original and true to yourself :)

  7696. 想起了自己当时在美国留学，和中国同学住在一起的日子。一起吃饭，一起出去玩，整天说着中文。我知道这不利于学习英语，但是真的感觉很温暖。
    5
  7697. I love the reaction at 10:10 the most. That sense of extreme excitement in a group of grown people just makes you feel happy for some reason.
    5
  7698. 🎄🎄🎄 Yohohoho Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays Yay 🙌🙌🙌

  7699. This is so heartwarming.I really needed that, it made feel a little better.You see new year didn't start for me well (i lost my mother in law because of alzheimer's disease) Thank you for your beautiful videos and i wish you a very happy life with your soon to be husband.

  7702. Wow. you should be covered by this youtube channel! 和之梦 - 官方频道 He is a Japanese guy who documents lives of foreigners in both China and Japan. I think mostly in China. It would be awesome!

  7703. This was just great! Not too long and you picked a nice day to do it. Keep up the good work. I'm so proud of you. Anming Meet and Greet 2021!

  7704. I'm learning Spanish currently as my boyfriend is from Peru! It definitely helps the motivation when you love someone who speaks another language 🎉

  7706. I loved that video content. And Royce's so talented

  7707. my daughter (Canadian) is doing a masters in Finland and learning Finnish and Swedish. Its amazing to learn new languages and learn the culture

  7708. I so look forward to your mom appearing and saying a few words in Japanese
    5
  7709. Everyone looks so cute.

  7710. I once went to a cat cafe in Seoul. I think that i’d just pass on the snake cafe though xD...Anayway; nice content! :D
    5
  7711. Do you edit the videos yourself?
    5
  7712. I was thinking today about quitting my language learning because I’m in a rough spot… but your videos are so inspiring that it reinvigorated me to keep going.
    5
  7713. I love how tan his skin is😍
    5
  7714. I love your videos. The guy from Beijing who said “wahh” made me laugh the most! I am from London, England and I have a British Born Cinese friend who have the same exact expression/reaction! For years, I always thought it was just my friend who does that 🤣
    5
  7715. Nice vid! Thanks for sharing! I'll get back to Japan someday, spent some time at Kadena Air Force Base and the surrounding area...loved it!!
    5
  7716. You and Xiaoma are the reason I started learning to speak Chinese! You are soooooo cute! And you speak so well!
    5
  7717. Intelligent,personable, Multi lingual and beautiful. You got it going on lady! I Enjoy your vids
    5
  7718. I LOVE glitch in the matrix episodes!
    5
  7719. This is the only reason why I would be terrified to go to parts of Asia. They care too much about looks. I am short and chubby and like I would mind if people start talking 🤣 I am comfortable with myself tho, but I never have people in the USA judge me for how I look, so it would be new for me...
    5
  7720. In many many cases those polyglots speak at a very basic level. Speaking A1/2 doesn't mean that sb really knows some language cos good level starts from B2 where a guy can truly communicate with foreign speakers.

  7721. "没有" haha

  7724. I'm so happy that you were able to reunite with your family. That's great that your mother got to wear that kimono, too. Your mom is so cute.
    5
  7725. I’m not sure how I stumbled on your videos and some of the other multi-linguists, but I find them incredibly interesting. I wish I would’ve put in the time when I was younger to start learning Mandarin/Cantonese from a couple of my old friends from Taiwan.
    5
  7726. Lisa is babe! 🖤👀 I would start a band with her. 🤘🏽

  7728. So cute🥺 Love to see people coming together just having fun! I was really surprised that so many people came out on Monday night also
    5
  7729. Go to the Philippines, learn Filipino, upload a video about it, watch your view count explode. - a Filipino
    5
  7730. Your videos always make me forget for a while what we are living through, and bring so much joy to the world. I'm getting better each time watching your videos and understanding you without subs on but I still mess up thank you for the videos during this time
    5
  7731. Gives me encouragement to keep going with my Chinese self-study. Eventually I’ll need to find a teacher to speak with.
    5
  7732. Congrats on the 1 million subscribers and on the new house! Subscribed to Drew as well, best wishes and hope things improve.
    5
  7733. I love your travel videos especially this one! I’ve never been to either but I’m Half Okinawa and half Filipino currently living in Shizuoka Japan. I want to visit both so hopefully I will soon!
    5
  7734. “I don’t know why, I just do” that cracked me up lol. Thanks for your videos, I love them for Japanese listening practice. I like how you are always out and about and interacting with people, it’s really enjoyable to watch!

  7735. You are a great Ambassador for America

    5
  7739. Damn you're good
    5
  7740. You guys are telling facts✨✨ love this video !!!
    5
  7741. wow the queen is back! it’s been a while. i love you’re videos they are so fun to watch! also good luck fining an office job!
    5
  7742. Wow you can get a lot off frends in japan good for you😃
    5
  7743. Hahaha...great topic! When I was in Taiwan, I thought I was being polite by eating the food given to me at a night market stand by my host. They asked me, "What do you think? Did you like it?" I said, "Yes" (though I really didn't). They gave me MORE!!🤪
    5
  7744. Thanks again for the great content, I will try pinsleur, to learnJapanese, you are inspirational, and your camera work ,puts the audience right along with you, like we're in your pocket 😀 ,thanks anming
    5
  7745. You've had a really interesting journey. Could be a book one day. Nice to hear not everyone goes to teach and party. What's the plan for when you graduate.
    5
  7746. i so much support this video! i lived in vietnam for a year as student exchange and learned the language in a few months. by a few i mean like 4. in the exam i even reached B1 = "intermediate". the thing is, i am only fluent in the learned topics and only for reading and writing. grammar and vokabulary is an easy thing for me. i write good texts. BUT when it comes to hearing and talking its really shit. i cant follow the news, childrens tv or other peoples normal conversation on the streets. when i would see the script i would understand like 60-80% i guess. so i wouldnt have anything spectacular to proof to people on the spot that i am (kinda) able in that language. when i get introduced to a new coworker with the sentence "yeah you two can speak vietnamese together", i actually couldnt without much time and pain hahaha but i would perform nicely in a chat at least... learning a new language the progress in the first times is huge! you feel like you can spot words in a spoken text, you can understand some written sentences up until kindergarden texts. but then would come the hard part, when things get professional and fluent. by that point most people already stopped learnng and claiming theyre polyglots XD
    5
  7747. You two will have tall, beautiful, intelligent polyglot offspring. 💓
    5
  7748. I remember blade blades except it was a bit different! This brings back so many memories of me and my brothers playing it late at night and our parents yelling at us!
    5
  7749. This is so wholesome! Japanese people seem very sweet 💕
    5
  7750. Can't agree more. I'm a non-native English speaker but I understand 99% of the spoken and written English, only because I continued to learning it. I would want to be a fluent speaker of 2 or 3 languages than a good speaker of 7 or 8 languages. I'm currently learning French and I also want to learn Japanese. I know Hiragana, Katakana and some Kanji.
    5
  7751. this lady is literally like quadri-lingual in asian languages and speaks most of them FLUENTLY!!!! amazing!!! Cantonese Mandarin Japanese Korean Vietnamese she’s learning now, last I checked English
    5
  7752. Awesome video! Thanks for the journey....
    5
  7753. I just discovered you and I like your channel, you actually speak Japanese to others . . . you highlight Japanese culture and I like that. Thanks.
    5
  7754. Koro-Sensei approves this 👍🏻
    5
  7755. I can confirm that even knowing a little Japanese helps.When I visited Tokyo back in February, just knowing basics like"chotto sumimasen"(Pardon me a moment) and "doko" (where?) definitely comes in handy.
    5
  7756. 3:43 That's pretty interesting actually because I've noticed Chinese girls and women do that. British girls and women tend to be quite "touchy" too, such as kissing on the cheek as a greeting, hugging, touching hair etc. However, they don't hold hands unless of course they're lovers. Men don't usually do it with each other though.
    5
  7757. Don't be afraid to name drop.
    5
  7758. Before I begin with japanesepod101 I need to be clear about something. Do you need to have Premium account to learn hiragana, katakana or kanji? Also, is it recommended to only use the free version?
    5
  7759. Wow. I lived in Japan for six years and never saw this.

  7761. I've thought about teaching English abroad to be able to travel but I don't think I'd do well controlling kids either. About the content, just make the videos you want to make.

  7762. The happiest thing I got from this fun video is you my friend still speaks Chinese awesomely even though you now live in Japan! :D

  7763. 3:37 How to abduct a cute japanese kid STEP 1: BE A FOREIGNER STEP 2 : SPEAK JAPANESE 🧐 .well that's really easy 😁
    5
  7764. Well done. You're fun to watch and as a former Nova english teacher living on the outskirts of Tokyo I think you present a very realistic, accurate and honest picture of Japan.

  7765. Ouu just the intro got me all exited 😂

  7766. It's sad that mixed kids get bullied. Kids can just be so mean anyway☹️ but they can also be very friendly and curious. Thanks for a fun video! And he does look Japanese... it's in the eyes and forehead...more pronounced with a mask 😷

  7771. As an Asian, i don't find it offensive. Besides, many asian businesses in the usa have oriental in their name, like oriental trading. I'm not PC, so i could careless.

  7772. I have been studying Japanese since I was 15, I am almost 18 and I am working on N2 now! Even though I have made a lot of progress my grammar leaves a lot to be desired (the JLPT doesn't test really that much). I also think people don't know how hard it is, this is why you need a fantastic motivation to do it. 😊

  7776. This video was so beautiful, congratulations! I hope you two are happy for years to come. Sending love from Canada ❤❤

  7777. I loove this video!!! The way you effortlessly switch from language to language is impressive. I appreciate the links :) along with you telling locals you should be speaking their language when they were surprised. I agree, if you are going to visit or live somewhere, it is respectful to learn the culture and easier to feel one with the environment.

  7778. Loved the video Anming! Also is that guy your new boyfriend? (Not the old guy haha)

  7784. "Bigfoot can't swim" I dont know why I found that so funny 😂 looks like you're making the most of where you are, thanks for sharing!

  7785. American English and Chinese share the guttural R sound. It’s one of the hardest sounds to emulate in language. Due to the weird acrobatics your mouth has to do (touching the sides of your tongue to your back teeth and speaking from low in the throat) it’s one of the hardest to pronounce physically, after the African click languages. Americans and Chinese share a similar sound, so it makes sense why she got it down so quickly.
    4
  7786. So cool! I’d love to be able to try kyudo sometime. I’m afraid of heights so I’ll probably pass on the yabusame lol. As far as the negative comments, i think people should just get a life! It’s funny how one of the “trolls” have a cobra kai profile pic, which is all about karate(kinda), which is…a Japanese martial art? (Technically okinawan but I’m trying to make a point). You’d think they’d be more supportive, but no. What a hypocrite! What’s wrong with loving a culture you’re not born with? If the Japanese local populace have no problem with it, why should everybody else? I think it’s a beautiful thing! I think having lived there for 20yrs, marrying a local and starting a family, learning the language and customs, I think she deserves a little bit (or a lot!) of respect. She clearly has a lot more credibility than the posers who’s bashing her. People should just mind their own business. What she chooses to do with her life and where she lives is nobody else’s business. And if you don’t have anything nice or encouraging to say, please just keep it to yourself.

  7790. Anming, I was trying to do a Super Chat but for some reason YouTube decided that I live in the USA. Since I have no zip code it wouldn't let me complete transaction. I'm glad you made this a premiere livestream. My luddite tech abilities got me kicked out of stream trying to correct address. Your new aparto is sugoi. I enjoyed this very much and will be in touch,

  7798. I'm a 6ft tall female and I'm scared to go to japan. I already took me so long to accept myself where I live now i dont know whats gonna happen when i move to japan. But this video does motivated me to not care what people think

  7799. Japan has best Halloween.

  7800. Quite a change at the end, from rural Japan to a bullet train. Though I noticed the couple you talked to had a baseball game playing on their TV. Rural people still want some entertainment, and urban people want some relaxation.
    4
  7801.  @OrientalPearl  Yep I wasn't joking when I said we were neighbours, although given your other vids I'm guessing you live closer to 中xxxxx. It is pretty amazing, given how big Tokyo is and it's not exactly a booming expat part of the city here - yet there I see my every day well-trodden streets and literally almost my front door on Youtube lol. Well you never know, you might just get recognised around here, there are a handful of other foreigners around (although I guess people from overseas are more your audience).
    4
  7802. Hi Anming! What a great YouTube series! I am Okinawan. I lost the language when we moved to Alabama when I was 4. The Okinawan’s have their own language. I believe it is predicted to be lost since the younger generations only speak Japanese. Thanks for all your vids.
    4
  7803. Underrated channel just binge watched all your videos
    4
  7804. I remember on my trip to Japan we were at the Silver Pavilion and the school field trip assignment must have been: find a foreigner, ask if you can talk to them, say this speech, take a picture with them and give them a packet of green tea. I must be in a dozen kids assignment journals. It was pretty cute.

  7805. oh my god! i didn't know! Hi, I'm Tao. glad you didn't get injured. btw seems most of people who living in okinawa believe okinawa belongs to China...

  7807. I didn't know you also learned Spanish ahah, are you studying IR in English or Chinese at Fudan?

  7808. I'm learning japanese, but it's pretty tricky. I'm not giving up though.
    4
  7809. I felt so bad for you...5 hours of travel to see a friend that decided at the last minute not to be friends anymore...despite the mask, I could see the hurt and disappointment in your eyes. I must compliment your brave and positive attitude though. I've always loved Japanese culture, and your sincere depiction of life in Japan as an American is very refreshing. Keep up the great work.

  7811. Hehheheheh! I’m first wow!

  7812. 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.

  7813. Just love It ❤️💯🤙🏻, Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹

  7814. I'm glad to hear you say your heart can be in two places I've felt very split when I moved away from my state. Thank you for always sharing your experience but others please more content with Jessica I love her perspective on life and growth.

  7815. Hello fellow earthling lol. Great video as always, It's nice to see you walking around china again! How'd it feel to be back again after a bit? 😊

  7816. So cool to see you switch from Chinese to Japanese so easily!

  7818. Great work keep it up. Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

  7819. It's so weird and at the same time inspiring to see and hear prayers/ceremony in a japanese church. On top it looked like a cozy festive atmosphere you all had and it actually made me jealous. Japan is a big dream of mine, maybe one day i can fulfill it..or go even further. Living the dream. :3 Happy New Year.

  7820. The introvert in me would never be able to talk to others like that. I have no issue if someone else starts the conversation, but I just can't. I don't want to bother others. You've got guts!
    4
  7821. @OrientalPearl This video touched on something that would make for an interesting topic in the future. I would love to see a video on your perspectives & thoughts on the aging population in Japan and what impact that will have on the future of Japanese society.

  7822. I wanna learn 大阪弁. It sounds so different from standard Japanese.

  7825. This video is interesting. Youtube surely suggests me multiple polyglots' videos every once in a while, but I've only ever been interested in watching Lindie's because she says herself she cannot say whether she's a polyglot and she's always talking about how much time (years) she's dedicated to a language such as Korean, which she is quite (more than) fluent at, and then Japanese & Chinese, that she had less difficulties learning because it's true it helps to already know one of the two, even when the grammar of Chinese is not the same as the other two and Korean barely uses Chinese characters. I like that she's honest with the advice she gives, it is based on her own experience & mistakes she came to learn from, and is the point of view of someone that dedicates hours to study just one language, even thought she eventually started branching out to learning others. The I also like to watch Paul's channel, because he gives a fun perspective as a linguist (not sure he actually majored in it, but he is working as one with his videos) and he doesn't claim to speak all the languages he talks about in his channel. It is not a polyglot channel but it is a channel about languages and it can also encourage viewers to learn those.

  7826. Back in August 26, 2011 the east coast of the USA had an magnitude 5.8 earthquake. My first one I ever experienced. Yes I ran around my building like a chicken with it's head chopped off. I was married at the time and I didn't want my ex-wife (at the time we were still married) alone. I had to cancel my doctors appointment.

  7829. In my view of a Chinese, "your Chinese is quite standard" means that your Chinese is really excellent.

  7830. Thank you for making this kind of content! I'm so tired of youtubers fantasming about Japan, picking up only the flowers and never talk about the weed. I love your channel, it's one of the best of it's kind in my opinion. You are fun to follow and your topics are always so unique!

  7836. I have never been to Asia but have talked with people who have been to both Japan and Taiwan both for pleasure and business, and they have all said that both countries citizen's are incredibly helpful and friendly with foreigners. Despite the "You will not believe what happened" tag in the video name, I was not surprised and actually would have been shocked if anyone had been unfriendly or rude.

  7837. 🚨@ 0:48 Kids run circles around you no matter what country your from!🚨

  7838. I can also attest to kids being so interested when you speak their language. They get so surprised and show more interest in you! 😆

  7839. I don’t usually comment on YouTube videos, but I had to let you know how much I enjoy your channel! You always motivate me to work hard studying Chinese and I always look forward to watching your videos.

  7846. She’s adorable!! <3
    4
  7847. I agree if they're impressed they keep it inside while in your presence from my experience. Speaking another language fluently when not your native language in any country is appreciated because it shows you've put in the effort to communicate. I watched your videos because you're so genuine and breezy and don't show off like other You Tubers who seem to learn a language a week just to elicit that shocked response.

  7848. Would like to have a partner with this talent for languages. my former partner spoke perfect Italian. Unfortunately I have no talent for languages. You are real Pearl. 🙏🏻

  7854. Jessica's accent in English sounds more American than Kiwi, now – imho. Maybe it's from 18 years of TV & YouTube being her main sources of English media.

    4
  7861. I always wondered that actually. When i originally subbed to your channel, like do they stare at Foreigners these days? If they see one walking around & stuff. Also Hello Anming, nice to see you again. Hope you & Tommy are doing well! :D

  7869. Yessss finally 3:20 - I watched all of his videos. Found him on TikTok and Glad to see him again with you 😄🎉
    4
  7870. Have you ever thought about walking around and asking the local Japanese population what there opinions are for what makes a person Japanese. You should try that and see what they say.
    4
  7871. Well done for being honest. We don't get much of that on the Tube today. Usually if it is the truth it is blocked. Thank you

  7875. Great to see this. I lived in Osaka for 16 years, have spent time in Nishinari as well as associated ares like Shin-Imamiya and Shinsekai, and there are lots of misperceptions about Nishinari. I don't know if I'd call it a "yakuza slum". It's primarily a day laborer area and has been for over a century. It expanded a great deal right after WWII, as the place for laborers to live while rebuilding after the destruction caused by the USAAF bombings. And then as a place for those same day laborers as the Japanese "economic miracle" happened in the 60s and 70s. It's also the place where societies unwanted go - people like mikaiho-buraku (the descendants of the old untouchable caste) and hibakusha. It's also a refuge for those who can't make it elsewhere. There have been riots, yes, but they weren't "day laborers trying to burn down the city"! The riots have been more similar to the BLM protests - protests against police corruption and brutality. The first one happened in 1961 and was a response to police leaving a dying elderly day laborer lying in the street. The most recent one, in 2008, was a response to police arresting and torturing day labor as part of a crack down on the unhoused in the lead up to the G8 summit in Osaka. Rioters Yes, there's a tourist information center. It's part of the gentrification of the neighborhood. Yes, part of it is the aging of the community, but it's also a result of the doya (cheap hostels that catered to the day laborers) deciding that foreign "backpacker" tourism is more profitable. Backpackers discovered the area's cheap lodgings and as it became more well known, more places have turned to that trade, leaving fewer places for the day laborers and other poor. Glad you went and discovered how welcoming the people here are! Personally, I've never been scared of the area, even back in the "bad old days" in the 90s.

  7881. I love this! I never knew how amazing Japan could be!
    4
  7882. As you would know, Japanese don't generally strike up conversations with strangers, they very much keep to themselves - as opposed to being in China, or even Australia where I'm from where it's a rather common thing to talk to anyone. Your videos have me wondering, do you ever get "rejected" (for a lack of a better word), ignored, cold stares, WTF looks, "what are you trying to sell me?" etc. when you approach people? The willingness of the Chinese ppl doesn't surprise me at all, but surely the Japanese ppl must be taken aback? In fact, I'm generally very wary of the motives behind strangers approaches and if I didn't know who you were I would most likely say "no thanks" and walk away. I wonder if the camera makes them even more hesitant, or does that somehow actually make some people let their guard down ?
    4
  7883. Love your attitude. I lived in several Asian countries from 2003-2009; Japan, China, India, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, all of them vastly different cultures and yet I had a great time in each country, and you are 100% correct, learning a little bit of their language goes a very long way.
    4
  7884. I’ve loved how you are an introvert like me I really want to go to Japan at least to visit but I’m so scared to talking to strangers this video gave me so much hope and confidence 🥰
    4
  7885. This was great, I've just started learning Japanese and I really worried about getting to the immersion stage but I'm going to start with your videos. I could follow about 20% of it which for me is such a win. Thank you for the content!
    4
  7886. It’s important to know as many languages as possible. With that you can teach yourself how to connect others from all around . This can also teach children to be more wise and caring of others when witnessing a culture dispute. I love your videos, keep up the hard work ....peace&Love from California 🥂🐲🌻

  7887. most people in greece hang their clothes as well, and i dont think it has to do with living like the 1700s, its more of a habit each country has. also not everyone can afford a drier lol.

  7888. I really enjoy watching your videos :)

  7889. You and your fiance are so cute. Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness. ❤️

  7890. Wow. That Japanese guy was more cheeky than I ever was in any foreign language class introduction. I remember in college one guy said he was learning Spanish to talk to girls. That made me laugh but this guy was way over the top.
    4
  7891. Your new family is absolutely charming! I'm learning a lot about Japanese culture by watching your videos! Looking forward to more vids on your channel, no rush though!! Take your time & just keep up the good work & 2022 should be a great year for you 😁

  7892. Your mom at the airport was like, Enough with the bowing, Give me a hug! LoL I love it 🫂
    4
  7893. THANK. YOU. It drives me nuts when videos come up with “speaking perfect Spanish” and there’s a ton of stuttering and honestly a lot of them I wouldn’t understand much of anything they say without their subtitles. And then when they speak “10 languages” and in all of them they are just saying the same 5 sentences. Or “learning a language in 1 week” like... no. Lol. I’m really glad someone said something about it though
    4
  7894. I don't understand why these videos are so addictive.

  7895. really enjoy your videos!

  7898. In Italy it's the same because tourists usually speaks their language or English, and in Italy we speak very little a foreign language. When we heard a foreigner speaking Italian we say " omg, you are really good" and we kinda fell more comfortable even in speaking English. But we are incline to correct the pronunciation, especially whit food words that were used in everyday English completely wrong. It really drives me crazy😅 I use hello talk to, but I prefer another app with pronunciation exercises because sometimes native speaker can't explain me very well how to use verbs and they don't correct me so often

  7899. Hii. I want to learn Japanese can u help me how to study Japanese effectively and easily
    4
  7900. SUCH GREAT FOOTAGE!! Freaking Tokyo, sooo uptight. They need to chill and get over themselves. The countryside is waaaayyy better in Japan to live, work and study in
    4
  7901. I see this all the time. As a language learner it is frustrating to see someone with a very low comprehension of a language claim mastery and give "proven methods" for you. They make it seem like language learning is effortless; when in reality it takes time, effort, and dedication.

  7902. I see lisa13 and i click like. Band's pretty damn good too.

  7915. You are my heroine, Pearl. I have followed your youtube postings and am totally impressed with your polyglot skills and taking that giant leap of faith to make Asia your home! You are the greatest ambassador of the USA to China and Japan. I hope the usa department of foreign affairs take note of people like you and use your talents to be the bridge between US and Asia, specifically China and Japan

  7919. Japan and South Korea are my two favorite East Asian countries, but I would be scared to live there, even if I learned the languages. These two countries are a bit unique in that there is so much adherence and observance to traditional rules. For example, South Korea has its honorifics, and Japan has its bloodlines. I've never been to either country, but I would love to visit them someday for the experience and their cuisine. 😁

  7926. Can you do a video in Spanish some time, just for the giggles please? :)

  7927. Since returning to Japan a second time to live permanently, Im more committed to learning Japanese than my first stint. My first 4 years were spent in a very English bubble at work and social circles, sadly I didn't learn much Japanese at all, which I regret. Now Im back to stay (wife is Japanese) and want to have a much better/deeper/enriching experience than the first time, so Im really focused on my Japanese. Several of my closest friends (expats) that have been here for 20+ years and sound very fluent to me, however they are always downplaying their skills and say "I'm conversational". My business partner last time is Aussie, but has been here for a long time, speaks very well in business settings and can read a Japanese newspaper, but even he says "Im not fluent". I know I have a long way to go, and will always have more to learn, important to break through the self imposed roadblocks and inevitable plateaus.

  7928. Love your interactions ❤

  7929. I was recommended this channel and saw this video. I am pleased to know there are actually snake cafes. Why can't America have the things Japan and China get, minus corona virus.

  7934. Thanks for all of the tips! I'm learning Spanish and agree Pimsleur is great. From absolute beginner to feeling like I'm well on my way in just the first month. Now I'm in the process of looking for a tutor (or two). I'm missing the real time language exchange and won't get too far until I find a way to get it. I speak German from having lived there a decade. That was relatively easy with full immersion. I'm finding, with Spanish, it's much more difficult to learn without full immersion. Stay safe and healthy out there.

  7935. Omg, I love your patio and your staircase. Congrats on the new digs.

  7939. So much great energy in this Video. Love the positive vibes. I think also a lot of that comes from you being positive open-minded, respectful, and just sharing and giving to others. Love it.

  7946. In the area I live ( Western Washington) scientists said we are overdue for a super-quake, So naturally when watching the shaking start that you felt it gives me anxiety. I instantly started thinking about the monster lurking below us waiting to unleash mass destruction. Knowing it could happen at any moment is really quite terrifying.

  7947.  @OrientalPearl  jeez I'm so sorry that is so wierd!! The f*** is wrong with people.

  7948. One thing I learned in middle school has helped me through high school and the rest. People are afraid of other people. No matter how nervous you are about starting the conversation, some people are thinking about starting the conversation but think they are nervous too
    4
  7949. Please make these kind of videos more! I like to imagine that I am in your shoes, talking to them. It is always fun watching their reactions!
    4
  7950. I think that I will buy the course if it's 50% off! When Japan will open Its borders again i want to come to Japan and do a 1 month intensive course to see if I really can pursue my dream, teaching English and Italian in Japan. I wanted to go to Tokyo because I went there in 2019 and it was pretty cool but now I'm doubting it might be not a good idea in the long run. Maybe I should try to stay there 1 month and see how it works with me. After that I can take the 6 months visa and change location. My goal is to take a n3 certificate to be able to study and live in Japan. I'm studying Japanese since the beginning of 2020 (currently a2)

  7955. Good video I feel better already. :-)

  7956. Yes, I will continue watching you and after 10 years I can comment how you have change with your mannerism and speech. I hope not, I love your quirkiness, your humor and everything about you, and the way you present your videos. If you change, you'll just might be another regular Japanese you tuber.

  7957. I love going to western food chains in Asian countries lol sometimes they have really interesting items and in your case, decor! 😂

  7958. This was such a heart warming video ❤. There was so much excitement in Tommy's eyes and you could see the culture shock for him coming to America. You guys make such an adorable couple too! Looking forward to his return to America video. 😎

  7959. I''ve been learning hiragana and katakana slowly. I use a lot of apps to memorize them. I learn to write it, recognize, and others. It came as a surprise that this helps SO MUCH! When you learn to pronounce Japanese words. Because a lot of words sound like EM or EN, so knowing which one helps a lot.
    4
  7960. Bilingual and Trilingual, relatable?😔✋🏻🤣🤍
    4
  7961. Thank you for your honesty. It is very disheartening when you don't acquire a new language in 30 days or 90 days as advertised. I'm glad finally someone is putting the truth out there. It should seem like common sense but there are so many people saying otherwise a person can start to feel like they're the only pariah of language learning.
    4
  7962. I love your videos, I've literally been binging them haha! This one is really motivational, I wish I'd used my lockdown time more productively and studied a language. But there's always time, and I won't be afraid to make mistakes!
    4
  7963. It is amazing how by just being able to communicate in their language made this bond instantaneous. Awesome video and a great lesson on how finding a common thread can help create and maintain friendships/relationships.
    4
  7964. 4:00 Akita fluff attack! 🤣 Anyway, not being allowed to drink anything in class was all the schools I went to. And even in highschool, that was also 90 minute classes. And as for tests and such, the school was also pretty strict, so none of those are really a problem.
    4
  7965. What a great, inspirational vid. And I'm super happy that you're getting more exposure and views in Japan! It's an awesome thing!
    4
  7966. Thanks for the video again. I have a curious question. Another channel I watch from Mrs. Eats posted a video "How Tourists FRUSTRATE Japanese (Unintentionally)" and I was surprised of several things, most notably she was saying things foreigners shouldn't do, for example in Japan unlike USA it's not legal to record video in public, only with permission or in certain places. She went into detail on how it's incredibly rude to record or take pics of people without their permission in Japan. But yet i see countless videos from youtubers as well as twitch streamers recording in public in Japan all the time and i never heard of them being fined for it or being told to even turn off the camera. She also said it's not legal to even record in stores, or at least stores do not allow filming in stores. Have you had to pay fines for recording in public often? Have you been told often to stop recording and just kept it out of videos? or is this a rule that just isn't actually enforced at all in Japan. I was just surprised when I heard this because all these youtubers I follow never mentioned getting permission to film or warning foreigners to not film in public or stores. 2nd really shocking thing is, it's illegal to sell Pokémon cards in Japan according to her, i never heard this as well, that's crazy.

  7973. Question: so should I learn basic Japanese and move on or advanced. I don’t want to waste a majority of my life on Japanese. I love Japan and want to learn the language. But I don’t want to constantly learn random junk.
    4
  7974. no offence, I love Japan and China.. but China for the people, and Japan for the country I suppose
    4
  7975. I just stumbled over your channel and I am so envious 😩 🥺 I’ve always wanted to learn the language especially since I am always watching Anime lol. You just pushed me to really look into learning as much as possible 🤍 i hope to visit one day! Thank you for the amazing content!

  7976. This video was adorable so excited for you both! Hope to see lots of cooking videos in your new kitchen!! 🥰❤️

  7977. Aha I love this! I'm learning mandarin (grew up with broken Cantonese) and it's so inspirational to see other people become fluent in Mandarin and converse with locals! Thanks for sharing Pearl!

  7978. I’m glad you talk about how hard it is to learn a new language. Some of are blessed with multiple in the household, but it’s still just as hard for the next languages. Your husband, I bet, is really proud of you. ❤ cute vids

  7979. WOW, YOUR FACE MASK IS SO CUTE..

  7980. I like your channel because of your energy I can feel the passion in every word when you speak in Chinese. You speak with so much confidence your accent and delivery is great. If I close my eyes I would believe that you were Chinese. All your video’s are upbeat and entertaining plus I feel like I’m learning alot from your videos

  7987. It’s amazing how many people’s minds you blow when you glitch the matrix. The day when you speak Vietnamese, Khmer, and TeoChew. My jaw would DROP!
    4
  7988. Recently, I found this channel and watched several clips. I guess speaking both Chinese and Japanese is really cool. So, I decided to start to study Japanese sometime next year. Actually, I learned Chinese for a few years and got HSK4 last year. Maybe, studying Chinese more and get HSK5 and start Japanese next. This channel really made me make that decision. I really appreciate it and I will keep learning languages on and on. In a few years, I can travel to China and Japan to check my language ability and progress. I have not seen any person who speaks those languages here in Korea.

  7989. I'm impatient to see how Oriental Pearl's kids would look like and how many languages they gonna speak.

    4
  8015. Oriental Pearl, I recently discovered your channel and I just identify myself with you. I am a bit shy but the magnetic taste to learn Japanese is driving me to the unavoidable... Do what I thought I couldn't... Start speaking Japanese... Please, keep on making any kind of videos, they are a spectacular source of inspiration for more than one.
    4
  8016. Your videos are great Anming. New places new people and very entertaining! Great Job! ☺👍

  8018. Ah, I miss doing summer camp and actually going somewhere with my students. Sigh, maybe this year. This video is awesome, and looks insanely fun.

  8019. This was my experience too. I was in the suburbs in Tokyo with a friend of mine who looks very classically Western who speaks Japanese, and a sweet old lady stopped during her walk to tell her that she speaks beautiful Japanese. Many times in Tokyo people didn't bat an eye, except with elderly folk in "older" parts of the city, like Asakusa, where they became very interested and wanted to talk. Even at an izakaya under Skytree (that makes excellent liver skewers, wish I could remember the name so I could go back), they were really enthusiastic that she could speak it so well. But outside Tokyo, people (especially older) became very curious and eager to have conversations about how she learned the language. It's a real ice-breaker!
    4
  8020. It’s seem clear to me that you’re definitely at home in other beautiful countries in Asia. You’re understanding of culture and sharing the little idiosyncrasies are Great 👍🏽. Thanks for sharing. 😊💗👏🏽☝🏽🔍🌏

  8023. Like so many of us, I've been left with little to do in these weird times. I randomly found your videos and having studied Japanese some time ago I was interested. It has to be said the way you've handled your situation is admirable. So much so your adventures have tickled me. In light of your encouragement I'm now looking to study Mandarin (yes with class101!) , so thank you for being you. Stay well and keep smiling. 🙏

  8029. Dear Pearl: I used to love getting to eat red bean paste filled hard cookies - as a snack when we lived in Japan when I was a little girl of 3-4 years old! But when I was a “bad girl” there was No Such Cookie for Me! I recall the taste and it was a shocker even for such a young person to transition from American junk food cookies & treats to those of Japanese origin! Plus we had no KitKats when I was a small child (too many years ago!) I am 60 now!! But I remember my times & adventures in Japan quite vividly! The tsunami that hit our small town of O-Misowa-she & seeing 30-40 foot long squids hanging from the deep sea fishing ships; seeing the ground liquify & open up to swallow a big cow as the earthquakes ravaged & shook up our shoji screened, tatame floored, rolling construction, small home “in town”; the sand pit where the jumbo sized Sumo wrestled in & sent gritty sand bits flying into my eyes as I sat in my dad’s lap to get a better view of the “contest”; the tiny stone Shinto shrines that we stumbled across as we traversed the countryside; the wild tasting Soba stew/soup my mom would “order” delivered by a balancing wizard riding a bike to our humble home from the restaurant! I recall cherry red colored frogs hopping about in our garden and giant bright colored Koi nibbling our toes as we dangled barefoot in our small pond outside our home! So many memories. Now I hear the old Air Force Station is a Giant Military Base! Things were very different: roaming packs of feral dogs attacking our pets & even biting my brother who then had to get Rabies shots in his belly! It was magical in the winter with all the MAJOR SNOWFALL! We had a trapdoor in the top of our roof to get out of the house when the front door of 6-7 feet tall was snowed in by all that cold white fluff! Quite magical & even a bit of the supernatural it seemed! Geti

  8030. After watching your whole video, just some things to comment on: I got tired of the men in suits who speak poor Chinese with their video titles sooo clickbaity that the only truth to them is where the incident took place. Once in a while they’ll pop up again and I’ll be ready to click that “do not recommend channel” option Sadly, even some well educated westerners think that China is still living in the Qing Dynasty 😂 Rigid, black&white thinking is not conducive for mental growth, and people need to learn that rarely (if ever) is something 100% good, bad, mediocre, neutral or whatever. Totally unrelated: When JJ said “Latin” languages it reminded me of a Chinese friend who thought 拉丁文 was like 中文 and 法西意语等 were like dialects, but I was happy that my Chinese was at a level where I could explain to him the differences, and similarities 😃 Take care, and great video(s)! 赞！bravo!

  8031. OMG she's from Aomori? Nyango Star is from that prefecture. You should ask her if she knows him. Well, many japanese knows him :)

  8032. I bought this and literally all my dreams came true. But Only when I used the PEARL promo code!

  8033. When you speak Japanese,it sounds like a chinese girl is speaking Japanese.Cute >o<
    4
  8034. I pressed the like button when you asked: „Did you press the like button, by the way?”. So yeah, that actually works. Your channel was a suggestion for me because I was doing some Netflix translations about a boy band named ARASHI (en-ro I am from Romania) and I did some google research about them. So your channel is not all about similar YouTubers and their viewers, it is about Google searches in the first place. And don't bother too much with tags (like yt:cc=on), the only 3 things that are important for youtube and google search are the Thumbnail, The Title, and The Description (the first 3 lines of the description, actually). And just so you know, I subscribed because of your personality. You are fun to watch and the japanese+chinese language is just a bonus. P.S (the communist music in the background is distracting, lower it by 2DB)

  8043. One thing that surprised me is the largest size many stores carry in Japan is a medium. I went into a Banana Republic and the salesman looked at me like I was huge and I’m a healthy size.

  8046. I'm also an English teacher in Asia, in Taiwan to be exact. I also learned Chinese in a classroom environment and I can't tell you how jealous I am when I observe my Chinese teacher never needing to shout at us to get back at our seat, to focus, don't kick, don't run, don't do this, don't do that, etc. I thought, yes, teaching adults would be a lot more relaxing, but I'm the same as you. When I'm done with this teaching job next year, I'm never going back to teaching. Teaching is just not for me.

  8047. Wow, I really liked hearing about Henry's experience. I always knew entering the mangaka route was difficult, but holy hell! He's been through it!

  8048. It's impressive how clean an orderly the outdoor environment is. Is it typically like this everywhere inTokyo?

  8049. @ 4:22 You can tell that the female server in the background (on the right) was stunned and delighted to witness 2 Westerners conversing in Japanese. Man, I was trying so hard to detect a hint of a foreign accent from the Finnish guy (Akaki?) - but ultimately failed.

  8054. As someone who isn't fluent in anything other than their mother tongue I feel like a justice has been done here for me in reference to all the hard work I've put into learning to read and write Chinese, Japanese and Korean + before just learning how to speak. When I say I'm learning and it's been so many years nobody takes me seriously they just think I'm trying to be cool or show off, but I've worked so hard and I'm just now able to start speaking, but at least I can read and write. I've been working for Chinese people for a few years and they've seen how hard I've studied and I'm just now starting to speak with them... I'm so proud of myself because it's hard work so many sighs and so much discipline. But it's been so worth it.
    4
  8055. You're so right about people just knowing enough of a language to chat vs really being able to speak without editing. I can easily convince someone on video that I am fluent in Greek, especially with a perfect accent, but I am far away from understanding and communicating the details of the grammar. I caught one person claiming he spoke Greek while speaking off a tele-prompter in a studio=fake.

  8056. That child's English is so good. He's a little touchy though. You're a great teacher!

  8057. God bless you for spreading awareness, and these elderly folk seem charming. <3
    4
  8058. Between chinese, japanese, and korean, I have always found korean to be the most difficult. However, I also think it's the most fun of the 3.

  8059. WHEN SHE STARTED RANDOMLY SPEAKING CHINESE?!!!!1

  8060. Wow - another fantastic video. I’m so happy to be able to share in these experiences that you post for us! Thank you!

  8064. Happy Valentine's Day 💐 my dream trip to Japan 🇯🇵

  8065. I think it's the same in Denmark where I come from actually. But maybe when you talk a little danish we wouldn't say that you're good but just think that When you talk fluently danish then we wouldn't compliment you. Thanks for this video. It made me think about some stuff of how we complement each other here in my country and maybe we should change it a little hehe But for my Japanese friends, I'm sorry for them because danish is soooo hard to learn.. god bless them. - I would always think that they are cool just because they even started learning danish and complement them and mean it!! :-D

  8066. You're doing something Right when you have Haters!!
    4
  8067. I have been learning Korean with a teacher for a year now, but having an app or another tool to use is helpful as well! Thank you for your videos 🙏🏼🤗
    4
  8068. woow , you can speak chinese,,,,nice
    4
  8069. YAYY love your uploads. This was a fun one!!! I love seeing how so many people open up to you when you speak their language. Bringin people together!!! :) <3
    4
  8070. the accent at the beginning made it sound like sim-lish and i couldnt stop laughing after realising that.. lol sorry, great video!!
    4
  8071. I've learned a lot from your videos. Please continue making them. Very awesome job!
    4
  8072. 6:26 got me laughing! Basically how my parents are 😂
    4
  8073. It seems that the virus that shall not be named has a very bizarre effect on the Japanese elderly. The chicken dance is a scary thing! In all seriousness, I absolutely love your videos. They are always very interesting and authentic. Really motivates me to learn Japanese more seriously!
    4
  8074. Never clicked so fast lol ❤️ Amazing
    4
  8075. Wow I love the interaction with you and your in laws, I love your raw authentic videos they never cease to amaze me 💜

  8076. Happy halloween 🎃 I really enjoyed this video, thanks for staying up late just to upload this, おつかれさま !
    4
  8077. Perfect costume for you! :D
    4
  8078. Why did you leave us on a cliffhanger! How could you! lol. You and Tommy are a beautiful couple, by the way! I like your parents and I can't wait to see how it went for them to meet Tommy's parents!
    4
  8079. 5:56 hard to graduate and easy to get into? I guess it depends on the school. But since you say it's the opposite in China, how easy? Like what kind of grades? or you just need the money and that's it?
    4
  8080. First, Royce’s talent is AMAZING!!! Second, did you ever find out who the cutie was that was playing with him? Third, does Royce give piano and language lessons? Love it!!!

  8081. I love ❤ your videos and your views on culture plus also life. 👏👍👍💖🙏

  8082. Any tips on getting into Waseda as an American Student? Waseda is my dream university, but nobody ever talks about how to apply to a college out of country. Thank you:)

  8083. "gui lou" is a word, it's "foreigner" in Cantonese:) "鬼佬“

  8084. Thanks!

  8085. Your way of speaking is pure freshness))))
    4
  8086. Such a nice video! If you don't want an honest answer don't ask the question to a kid! My husband used to have red beard when he was with the US Navy in Japan years ago (just before they inforced clean shaved). When he was waiting for the bus little kids challenge each other to pull the hair out of his arm. Once in a while he will turn around and growl. The kids will run scared and laughing but they come back in a few minutes. 😂🤣

  8087. Coiming up rsrsrs.... Take care and keep up with these amazing vlog
    4
  8088. The link to the Rickshawgump Youtube Channel it doesn't take to it. Sorry English not my first language. This is the right link to his channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWaQLNLRc2DjrSXINqKwC_g

  8089. He definitely has Japanese facial features Great video!

  8090. They are so curious hehehe😂
    4
  8091. Great video, very informative. Congrats on 1mil subs, lets go 🎉
    4
  8092. Well if you're into always trying to find the positive no matter the situation I guess you could say coronavirus put a stop to the butt to butt 😀
    4
  8093. this was really cute! Looks like you both had a really fun time and met some cool people!
    4
  8094. I find it funny at 4:08 they all go, "Ooooh!" just like a bunch of Americans :)
    4
  8095. Congraulations again. Nice video. With your English, Japanese and Chinese language skills, plus your masters degree I think you could make a lot of money and a great buisness in your home country the USA. Either in shipping, broking, import/export. Or at an embassy etc. Lecturer. Your skills would be well sought after.
    4
  8096. Pick interesting people and everything flows naturally.
    4
  8097. Just found this video, was wondering if I should pursue learning Japanese culture and language and this solidified it. Thank you for the great video, glad I found another great content creator to sub to!
    4
  8098. This was so fun! Thank you for sharing!
    4
  8099. Well, those jerks are not you-tubers themselves or they would know better; ignore them. Anybody not satisfied with what you do with your own content is really not thinking about how or why you are the way you are or what the channel entails and what it means for your life. There are only so many hours in a day to get everything done. You personally should also be aware by now that you cannot possibly please EVERYBODY. That is absolutely futile, so do not try to please everybody. Just do what you want with your channel. Those haters or overly-critical people should realize all of this same stuff. I know that you are constantly making strides to improve, I have seen your improvement in the couple of years that I have been watching your videos. I also realize that you are pulled in multiple directions with so much going on. You have work, you have school, you have a significant other; yt should be your HOBBY but it also lets other people know abut Japan at the moment. You are AMAZING and AWESOME and I am very glad that I found your channel! I love to watch all of your content. I find it interesting and endearing so I will keep watching. Wishing you only the best of everything that you want in your life. Luv ya! <3

  8100. are there really people who complain about free videos on youtube? c'mon
    4
  8101. What in the world🤔 Your videos and editing look great to me! Maybe they need new devices to watch it on, to see it more clearly 😄
    4
  8102. Ignore them, they are still probably coming to terms with that their smartphone is smarter than them. Love the vids and as a Brit would say, sod them!
    4
  8103. So, I guess this is her naxt band after Moth in Lilac? Yeah, I heard of Lisa a few years ago.
    4
  8104. Ahhh I love that you’re meeting people and studying from HelloTalk! I always wondered how that would be like but I’m too much of an introvert. This video however made me feel like it was not as intimidating as I thought so thank you.
    4
  8105. みなさん ありがとうございます🥳 arigato sooo much🕊💓
    4
  8106. So now Pearl are you planning to be a comedian?☺☺☺☺☺☺
    4
  8107. 'low production quality' criers are just envious of your life as an observer and story teller. you do you, ma'am... It's 'you' that the subs are here for... i never understood how some content creators get bashed for low quality. if the camera is steady for most of the product, and in focus, you have a video. Personally, I would rather have a great story over a great camera. The haters have embraced being trolls hidden behind a computer for most of their lives.This video has a great story and a modern, bright perspective. It will be good for the world. Thank you for this.
    4
  8108. I can speak a lil Japanese. Where I learned it from -Animes.
    4
  8109. What an adorable couple. Michigan pearl looks like the boyfriend. Tommy looks like the impressed girlfriend.
    4
  8110. Not gonna Lie Pearl, Your videos are pretty fkin awesome
    4
  8111. Thank you for doing this , I really enjoy it!
    4
  8112. Good luck, I like your videos! Have you thought about what type of videos you’d like to make? Food or walking (touristy), or utilising your mad linguist skills to teach us a few phrases? Or whatever makes you happy.
    4
  8113. Wow you're very courageous to expose yourself to both the positive comments and the negative criticisms of the people on the internet. I already love your channel, and can't wait to see what else you have in store! 💙
    4
  8114. I miss dryers, and dish washers that actually work! Ugh, here in S Korea these don't exist much either. It's definitely more inconvenient, especially as in America most ppl grow up with them their entire life. What I found especially weird is that half of American appliances are Samsung, yet most Korean homes don't even have or use them. I just don't get that....lol but I'm used to it now. I just miss them.
    4
  8115. Man.. I can only dream I could be half as happy and enthusiastic for life as that elderly lady when I am her age. This was incredibly uplifting to watch. Some younger people can't get enough energy to go outside nowadays let alone wander around with strangers , dance and marvel at everything around them when most people her age are sitting at home just passing time.
    4
  8116. But I really impressed see your videos my friend
    4
  8117. Take care of yourself my friend. And keep uploads many videos for me my friend. My dreams is I want to work in Japanese country
    4
  8118. She’s beautiful but her nose is what makes her look Ukrainian or Russian. Not many people look like her in America.
    4
  8119. Wow, I give you credit! I think if I was underground when an earthquake happened I would've freaked out! And did I read right that it was an aftershock from an earthquake that happened 10 years ago?! I didn't know that was possible. I'm really glad you and your boyfriend and friends are safe. Thanks for sharing this cute video of your day. :)
    4
  8120. That was a, 🤪 night out. Hugely entertaining
    4
  8121. You are probably the nicest American these people have ever met,that's why they remember you. You are too good of a person not to remember.
    4
  8122. Lots of laughter makes for a great relationship me thinks <3 nice to see you so happy x
    4
  8123. I have a question. How much time do you recommend learning Japanese or Chinese every day.
    4
  8124. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to hear about your future Korean studies <3 笑
    4
  8125. Girl in the yellow is my dream wife😂
    4
  8126. Okay, that kid was adorable lol
    4
  8127. I think the negative things that are said about the people from Tokyo come from experiences of people who don't speak japanese well or not at all
    4
  8128. OMG that is probably the best video I've ever seen 🖤🖇 This is kinda lookin so fun 😂
    4
  8129. This video is great! Great advice too thanks! Loved it! Can't wait to visit Japan someday!
    4
  8130. Very sensitively done but also very enjoyable to watch. Well done to you both. ❤
    4
  8131. Very inspirational stuff. I can only imagine the frustration you had at the beginning and then you moved to Japan?! Kudos. I feel your strength! I’m Greek by the way so English is not my mother language but ever since I watched your videos I really want to invest into Japanese. Ja na!! P.s. totally agree on paying for lessons. It sets the mood for some serious learning.
    4
  8132. this video was the perfect Christmas present. Thank you so very much.....still smiling ear to ear.

  8133. Hi Anming, I am not a Chinese by nationality, but I'm a Chinese by race, and I can speak and write in both English and Mandarin pretty ok. I think your Mandarin is really good! However I reckoned that, for someone who is willing to put in that much effort into learning a language, maybe you will be interested in perfecting it even more, and maybe I should point out a couple of words which pronunciation you might want to improve on, since I think people in general just tells you "Ah, her mandarin is good enough" or "她中文已经够好了". I hope I don't come across as presumptuous. Anyway, I was referring to that short section in Mandarin about the 9-11 incident, I'm assuming u know 汉语拼音, so here goes, 1, 2, 3, 4 and I shall use 0 to denote 轻声: 1. Jiu3 Yao1 Yao1 Shi4 Jian4 Da4 Gai4 Shi4 Zhe4 (Yi) Ge4 Yang2/3 (should be Yang4 here) Zi0 2. Kong3 Bu4 Fen2/3 (should be Fen4) Zi0 3. Mei3 Guo4 (Should be Guo2) 4. Zhuan4 (Should be Zhuang4) Dao4 Le0 5. Shi4 Mao3 (Should be Mao4) Zhong1 Xin1 6.Si3 Le0 Hao3 (Usually 好 on it's own is hao3, over here should pronounce as hao2) ji3 ge0 ren3 (should be ren2) Those are really very minor, and you already did an excellent job! I think where I am from, we often say things differently, partly due to accent, or to concatenate words together in a simpler way, so do point out if I made any mistakes with my 汉语拼音, it may differ from 标准中文/华语. Good luck and enjoy learning languages!

  8134. Every Large city has a RED DISTRICT area. If you ever film that, bring Tommy if he has had some martial arts training. Yeah,little Tommy with martial arts training is like a small stick of dynamite, and could make a explosion on someone if they mess with you filming. 🤔But you have had some martial arts too. Anming,you and Tommy stay safe keep filming,you are doing a awesome job. I think you could do Journalism/communication extremely well. Your personality shows it. Keep that on the back burner,could become your calling in life.
    4
  8135. The Japanese countryside is lovely! That's why "My Neighbor Totoro" is one of my favorite Ghibli films, Miyazaki wanted to bring the rural countryside he grew up in into film. Thank you for sharing! Can't wait for more videos :)
    4
  8136. The Peru guy was so funny 😂. He looks like an anime character 😂😂
    4
  8137. So, where are the bloopers of the snacks falling off the window edge? :p

  8138. Her personality is so chill it’s great actually
    4
  8139. How do you feel when you're with your friends and you know all eyes are on you?
    4
  8140. You both nailed hauska tavata :) Please make another video in which he actually teaches you Finnish lol
    4
  8141. I’ve been following you for awhile & still amazed at how natural you are with the different languages. I know you worked hard at it but you’re awesome!😊
    4
  8142. Never clicked so fast. The reaction of people are making me so happy. I can just imagine myself in those chinese guys boots when you start speaking their language so well. You allways make my day no matter how much I struggle with university projects In a year I will thank you in Japanese because your content keeps my morale and dedication up to learn japanese.
    4
  8143. Miss onsen in Japan, especially in Winter time. But from my experience, onsen ryokan are usually busier in summer time, it is kind of strange since the water is so hot, I found it more enjoyable in Winter time! So your onsen package only include breakfast with $200 ? Nice video!
    4
  8144. omg kiddo's so cute singing chinese song tee-hee-hee
    4
  8145. Very well-edited and entertaining video. お幸せに。

  8146. Omggg ive learned korean ever since i was born because my mother would teach me it growing up, god i remember the pain of sitting at the table. BUT YOU GOT THIS!!

  8147. The best youtuber 😂😂💜

  8148. Congrats again on the engagement and you two are going to have a beautiful church for your wedding day! This was a great one. I loved getting insight on the traditional Japanese family and seeing how inviting they were with you. It's incredible what barriers languages break. Happy New Year to you and your family!
    4
  8149. Wow, I didn't know you were a local. I went to Saginaw Valley St. and live in Midland.

  8150. R2D2 is genius
    4
  8151. Good tips here! When teaching English, I always used to tell my students "you learn by doing". I encouraged them to just try, even with their fellow English learners, on their own time so as to improve. I was doing 4 classes a week, 1-on-1, for Mandarin and it has really helped but I really want to try speaking Chiense outside of a "lesson" format. So I'll definitely check out language exchange programs. I'm a little afraid of Ageism, though, for anyone over 30.

  8152. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Detroit It's Eminem.😂

  8153. The editing was really satisfying

  8154. Thank you for highlighting this. I do what i can for Homeless in japan when i am there. Food/Drinks , big issue etc.
    4
  8155. Nice to see you back again !

  8156. "Made new Japanese friends in Korea China town" eating Japanese Food in China town.. Haha. classic! Great video!! Catch up soon!
    4
  8157. Who's caught on you ? YAKUZA ? YAKUZA ? OR YAKUZA ? 😵
    4
  8158. I’m not exactly sure how I stumbled into your channel, but I’m glad I did. I really enjoy your videos and admire your independence. I wish I would have been more adventurous when I was younger.
    4
  8159. Love the energy in this one.
    4
  8160. The home of sumo wrestlers where people judging someone on their weight? Ok then...
    4
  8161. I'm so excited for you two! I would love to try that breakfast. This was a fun video and a nice diversion from the usual content. I think that was a shogi board and those were Go tiles. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
    4
  8162. I just love the style of your videos, you’re super friendly and so cool. Your editing is crisp and easy to follow. Huge fan ❤
    4
  8163. That's something I couldn't do and be on my guard, especially being a U.S. Air Force servicemember stationed in Japan -- representing yourself as ambassador of goodwill to the people of Japan. I still enjoyed watching your video and very informative.
    4
  8164. You don't have to keep showing off your chinese. I'd like to see you speaking to Japanese people and not in Chinatown 😃
    4
  8165. I love that (generally) when you compliment someone's clothes and their bottom part specifically (shoes, socks, pants) they do that little pose where you can tell they're shy but very flattered. So adorable
    4
  8166. I love the variety in your videos. The language and business portions are great. I especially love today’s video! So much fun and so much learning - thank you for sharing your life and experiences with us. It makes my own life much richer and broader. Keep up the good work!!
    4
  8167. My goodness, I thought that bullseye was a lot larger due to the camera angle. With that said, I’m more impressed with the guest’s skill in the commentator's video. I would also like to request that the commentator do a video related to the subject matter. There are a few people who were African American who changed their citizenship to Japan. I would love for you to please interview these individuals because it would be an informative video. Thank you.
    4
  8168. the way you said "daaaang" lol <3 Glad you're able to get supplies. Thanks for another video and stay safe!
    4
  8169. Blessed all right to live in a state I admire and want to visit. I've set short stories there and wish my nation to be like this one!
    4
  8170. Ha! Did you see his face after all that grubbin’? 🤣 Brilliant! I was waiting for this one and it was everything I expected! 😄 Tommy really had that ‘kid in a candy store’ vibe. Loved it! I remember my first real thanksgiving with my uncle and his family in Ohio. It’s the best experience and introduction to the culture for someone who isn’t an American. Sorry that Tommy had to leave without you though but he clearly had fun right? I hope that you guys are doing well!
    4
  8171. You are so good because you are loaded with variety (like this video) in your videos and you talk to us, not yell or set snares for people to be captured in. That Midwest humility makes you a princess!
    4
  8172. This was a pretty cool video, loved the trip and the fun conversation with the people both in the store and in your dorm. Hope to see more of your content! Have a nice day, and please stay safe! :D
    4
  8173. I've taught conversational English in Vietnam in Da Nang. . So fun.
    4
  8174. My best holiday experience in Japan was talking to a group of very little kids on the train. They were on a school trip. They wanted to know things "do you like pineapple", "do you like apples?" LOL. So cute
    4
  8175. I'm one of your subscriber, and i really like your videos... Stay safe and more power to your channel..... Love from the Philippines.......
    4
  8176. You almost made me cry, I miss Christmas up north, but I lived in the UP.
    4
  8177. Another immensely enjoyable video that made my day, thank you. I don't know that standards of beauty are so different from East to West, though your own perception may be. You have a lovely face, complimented by every sweet feature. The fact is the more I see you the more beautiful you become, of course your nature, character and speech enhances your loveliness. You should be aware of this as you wander through life enchanting everyone - those Chinese guys in the restaurant are a perfect example.
    4
  8178. My first time seeing him and I feel like it's impossible not to have fun around him! 😅 The waitress bit was my favorite part, you can tell it made her day haha
    4
  8179. You should interacted with the kids, it would probably have made their day.
    4
  8180. Everybody loves PUPPETS!! Ahaha, those had me laughing. It's amazing how a little bit of another language can open you up to so many more friends and new experiences!
    4
  8181. Another great video! 👍❤️ Great message behind it as well! As an introvert sometimes it’s hard even to break the ice 😓 But you’re right, a simple hello can be enough to start a lifelong friendship 👍😊
    4
  8182. It was really interesting to get such a unique view of Michigan, thank you! I'm glad things are getting better.
    4
  8183. It's so fun seeing the reactions of those workers and how quick they open up and are friendly. How do you meet Japanese people in Japan? Through school/work I assume?
    4
  8184. For all the nerds out there (I was one myself) - watch Anming's videos carefully. She skillfully approaches people in the right context, the right environment, and knows exactly when to break off the conversation. This is a high level of social intelligence that you can only learn from experience. Don't be afraid - learn, learn, learn!
    4
  8185. i m Rich !!! marry me :-)
    4
  8186. Love this!!
    4
  8187. Great video. Thank you for this video.
    4
  8188. You are just a really likeable person... Wouldn't matter what country you went to, people would want to chat with you.
    4
  8189. I so love your videos. The barriers one can break down when you can converse with others in their language is awesome! I can see how some can be intimidated at first by you. Blonde, tall, and pretty in a foreign country will make the foreign nationals shy from you initially. Keep up these vids!
    4
  8190. Thank you for this video. My son is mixed race and sometimes i worry about how his childhood would be like, that's why for now, i choose to live in a densely diverse city.
    4
  8191. Great new intro Anming! 👍👍👍 Loved that little old lady, she's Hilarious just by being herself! 😀
    4
  8192. First xiaoma getting me in to mandarin I actually am learning it and I’m pretty good and now you making me want to learn Japanese 😭
    4
  8193. Hey this was amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️
    4
  8194. This is so wonderful. I want to move to Japan one day, hopefully I can convince my fiancée!! How can I go about learning the Japanese language?
    4
  8195. i wish i was there that chocolate looks good
    4
  8196. Tommi definitely a Chad
    4
  8197. The fact that you can switch between languages (and that you know so many this well) is so cool but honestly, I find your confidence and social ease even more impressive! You're so comfortable chatting with everyone, you don't seem to have any trouble finding something to talk about with anyone you meet (the movie guy doesn't count, lol, he was kinda weird and felt a bit creepy especially since you were alone!) Keep studying and practicing, you'll no doubt be as fluent as a native speaker in Japanese and Chinese one day! Keep meeting folks and chatting, your confidence is really inspiring to a shy introvert like me!

  8201. I'm amazed how quick u recognize the language or accent of a person when you speak in Mandarin and the lady speaks Cantonese.

  8202. It’s always so amazing and so cool to see foreigners speak Japanese! It’s kinda why I was inspired to learn english and spanish! (Along with my parents helping me learn english) It’s always surprising and I’m curious to learn how much they speak.

  8203. Him: I feel like I don't fit in. Her: I see that you don't dress or style your hair as Japanese people . Him: No I go to H&M and style my hair as other British people.
    4
  8204. I've heard people in Japan talking about me and saying that I was American, so I had to explain that I was Australian. It's a bit rude to talk about someone when they are in earshot, just because you think that they don't speak your language. But in Japan it's really not surprising. Japanese people just assume that no foreigners speak Japanese.

  8205. 4:30 Loved this conversation between you and the friendly Chinese lady. Also,lovely music just before the conversation started. Anming, because of your ability to confidently speak Chinese and Japanese and the graceful clothes you wear,you have a very admirable personality. You look very beautiful too!😍 I love your channel,I think you'll eventually have at least a million subscribers! 👍🏻👍🏻

  8208. Wow that’s great they celebrate this culture

  8209. Im Korean , finally hear you speak it!! I hear a mix of American and Japanese accent, but still absolutely awesome! No brainer w your ability talent if you immersed and lived Korea for year your accent mannerisms fillers and inflection would most definitely be Korean

  8210. Always a pleasure to see your videos LITTLE ONE ❤️❤️

  8212. Awesome vid. It reminds me of Yoel and Mari's videos where her Cuban husband see's parts of America for the first time. Culture shock videos are some of the best!

  8214. Oh the little kids are so freaking ADORABLE!

  8215. Good video and I thought it was handled respectfully from both sides. He's not doing much different from what you do, to be honest. You also film random people on the street and chat with them and upload it for money and occasionally make friends from it. Ok, he's looking for more, but in the main, it's the same. I feel the guys complaining in the comments are just jealous that they don't have the confidence to do it.

  8216. Charles is a great student. His geography is better than my 7 yearolds😳 and my son only speaks 1 language. Great job Charles.👏

  8217. Love this video. So true once ppl know you can speak their language they do open up to you. The interaction with the kids are so kawaii.

  8218. Language ability can be surprising. When I went to Osaka I didn't find many people in that cosmopolitan international city that could speak understandable English. But when I went to Sakurai in the back country of southern Nara prefecture I met 4 very good English speakers while visiting the temple.

  8229. I don't think any fat person ever really gets happy with being obese, it's just such a huge handicap in so many regards, not unlike disability. You might eventually give in and accept it but to "embrace" something so negative seems impossible. For starters, how could you embrace that you're sexually attractive to zero people, that no matter how much you lower your standards, the best you can hope for is sex out of pity or some oddball fetish freak. Fortunately, it's possible to lose weight, you can't grow a new leg but you can lose weight and it doesn't take long to establish new, healthier habit patterns and in no time you actually enjoy them. So fat "shaming" is a good thing, puts societal pressure on people to be mature and responsible. Granted, there might exist a tiny little minority who genuinely can't lose weight but hey, society is for the benefit of the group.

  8234. An Ming, these "language flexing" type of videos are really empowering. It isn't just the language (which is cool) but it is the interpersonal engagement that is so stimulating, and I think that is something that comes more easily to Americans. When I was in Greece in 1984, on the first night on Paros island, we had together 3 Brits from the Midlands, 2 Welsh lads 3 Irish girls, a Canadienne, (who I will love forever) and a couple of Aussie girls. We were thick as thieves for two weeks, doing everything together in a seemingly spontaneously manner, but in reality (in retrospect) it was because I (as the sole American) said "do you wanna do x?" and they said "Sure!" Doing something is better than doing nothing.

  8239. I've seen the "thumbnails" for so many supposedly polyglot videos, and one thing that has struck me is that some people seem obsessed with trying to learn languages without any concrete reason for learning them--either for "utilitarian" purposes, such as business, or because of the culture associated with that language, such as literature, etc.

  8240. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing there stories and their struggles. Hopefully it get better.

  8245. Omg people get off her back, it's not cultural appropriation, it's blending in with your surroundings....I mean I'm Italian and I don't say that people eating pizza is cultural appropriation! It's just not a thing.

  8246. I would love more videos exactly like this. Lots of Japanese language videos are either too fast or too slow. This feels far more comfortable for me to follow.

  8251. Bald is a pretty cool guy. I admire how relaxed and adaptive he is in various situations, it's a skill to be that good with people of different cultures and backgrounds and handle some tense situations when he's alone in a new place. Sometimes he pushes himself to the point of stupidity and I wonder how he's not been killed or kidnapped but a lot can be learned from somebody like him who sees the best in everyone. I don't really compare channels so much either, I'm mostly just drawn to people who are interesting in how they adapt to new languages and cultures and are positive. I avoid the negative expat channels with all those "dispelling the dream about living in Japan/where they moved to!" nonsense where they are just whining about their own experience. It's most likely their own inability to adapt and learn to do things a different way than they are used to.
    4
  8252. If i rewatch pretending it's a bald and bankrupt episode.. you wore a soviet mask, held a soviet banana phone, had soviet bbq..spotted the soviet snowman.. but no vodka, babushkas, statues (well maybe the snowman counts), abandoned places or hitchhiking or taxis.. I guess one good thing you got going on is you both skip stupid intros and go straight into awesome content. If you like bald, you might also find shiey interesting, but he's more a stupidly crazy soviet urbex explorer

  8253. Thank you for your great video. I always encourage my children to learn other languages. I don't really think other people are talking about me. In fact the older I get I have found people go out of their way to be helpful. Thank you for sharing ❣️

  8254. My honest opinion, there’s a difference in enjoying life with a few extra kilos, and weighting 180 kilo. But that’s just me.

  8255. Thanks for making this video! I definitely find videos like xiaomanyc entertaining but I like the realness of this.

  8256. It's impressive that she can speak chinese and japanese so fluently anyways those two language aren't that easy to learn though

  8257. Why is he controversial? What did he do? He is super hot tho!

  8258. Thank you for posting this - certainly a side of Japan that is not often shown. I wondered why the slum is inhabited by the elderly, so I looked up the Government Old Age Pension in Japan - it works out to just US$6,000 per year. It looks like the expectation is you are meant to have an employer scheme and the Government provides a basic income to those who couldn't take advantage of one, but it's set so low. I couldn't imagine trying to survive on such a small income when you are no longer able to work.

  8259. Another great video .. it really is amazing to see these reactions in real life! language really opens people up(Especially when you speak it as well as you do!)

  8264. Fear mongering on the news. It's against the Japanese constitution to order a lockdown.

  8265. Tommy might be a rain man, for the first time I saw raining in your video. It may sometimes happen to be rain, it'd also be good, because viewers are under the roof. The reminder of the nostalgic guitar sound would always tempt me to watch this site. I would like to hear guitar sound from start to end through the video as BGM. I referred to dictionary, 'ほうずき' is Chinese lantern-plant, write '鬼灯、鬼燈' (Devil's lantern) in kanji. In English 'children's noise-making toy', but lady plays it, it would be tempting sound not be 'noisy', I suppose.

  8266. That's why I work with security! People HAVE to do as I say regardless of their social status or make me company all the way to the EXIT! Comfortably if necessary! I'm just an invisible part of the decor in the side of the property and pays better xD maybe I'm not a people person... Nah maybe I've just met the wrong ones xD

Please dont stop as sometimes feel you are a bit down hearted with how hard it is to get more likes comments subs etc. Keep going your doing great 🌹🌷🌻

  8278. I live in Tucson, Arizona and many people like to learn Chinese here too.
    4
  8279. I am naturally motivated in studying Chinese, but watching your videos definitely makes me want to study more. Being able to understand what someone is saying is wonderful, replying them like you do is sick. I can't wait for the next videos. By the way, ChineseClass101 is REALLY cool, Thanks a billion for your recommendation!

  8280. Such great insight on the lives of native Japanese people! You’ve been giving us quality content and funny stuff. Lol Huge congrats on the 100k Anming! Well deserved and a big milestone for your channel!

  8285. Ha, I've been studying Japanese for a couple of years and speaking is by far more difficult to me than reading it. Don't get me wrong, pronunciation is easy, but making sentences on the fly is difficult. I think this is due to lack of immersion and I was pretty anal about learning kanji and vocabulary early on.
    4
  8286. Thank you Anming 🙏🏻 always fun hanging out with you 😁

  8287. I would like to know what would be a good recommendation to study both japanese and chinese, i feel really amazed by your fluency

  8295. Your experience with Spanish is so much like mine! And yet unfortunately I continued it through college when I studied Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin 😂 I'll check out your guides, I just hope I can pick one language to focus this time!! Thanks for your inspiration!

  8301. I’m lucky to have found your channel early on, instead of one of these fake jokers. Your hard work and skill is amazing and inspiring. Keep on learning and guiding others!

  8304. Oh how fun! Since I'll likely never get to Hallowe'en in Japan, watching Oriental Pearl is surely the next best thing!

  8306. The earthquake was just cool promo for the upcoming Godzilla vs King Kong movie 🦖🦧🍿🎥 lol. I’m so silly. I was watching one of my favorite anime series earlier today again and I haven’t seen it since 2004 called Neon Genesis Evangelion and that series never gets old.
    4
  8307. Thank you for this video. I knew this problem existed but not to this extent.
    4
  8308. Honestly, the languages I try to learn are more just to understand when reading more than hearing and speaking. I don't practice speaking or listening with other people so I'm not great at either. My short term memory is pretty bad these days and it feels like ages for it to stick from repetition. When it does and I understand the gist of what's being said or written, I'm glad. I don't expect to be fluent enough to have full conversations.
    4
  8309. Feliz Navidad!! Desde 🇵🇪

  8312. Glad to see you posting more these days! Somebody else mentioned your sense of humor emerging more. I think I've been noticing that for a while now, so I hope you keep doing that. Thank you for the nice video!
    4
  8313. Love the videos, Anming. I've shared your videos with my language nerd mates to get you to 1 million. I have a suggestion. It would be nice if your videos opened with a small overlay in the corner showing where you are. i.e. Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan; Gongguan, Taipei, Taiwan. Keep it up!
    4
  8314. I went to Japan some months ago but actually I didn't enjoy that much. At first I was kinda sad bc I thought I had high expectations but seeing your videos helped me realizing that it would be better if I spoke Japanese. I'm trying my best to learn Japanese and maybe one day go back there to really enjoy Japan and their people (they are so nice but sadly I couldn't make more friends)! Thank you!
    4
  8315. What a fun day that must have been! That’s a really amazing thing to be able to make for your kids. Then to go out and share it with other people is awesome.
    4
  8316. I Enjoy watching your videos when I have a chance so keep up the good work
    4
  8317. From personal experience. The number one reason peoples fail for learning a new language isn't because it is hard bit because they are lazy. There is no such thing as learning at your own pace.
    4
  8318. Keep making videos like this and the YouTube money will start rolling in!
    4
  8319.  @JapaneseHistory  While I was scrolling, there was your video and under the video was a survey with smiley faces and sad faces...5, I think. Don't worry, I picked the smiliest one :P

  8322. Oh the setting, the accommodations really nice, the food looks so good, my favorite Japanese dish is Sukiyaki, I've been eating it since I was a little girl, my parents and I frequently went to a Japanese restaurant in Washington, DC, the Sakura it's not there anymore, we sat on the floor in a private room, and were served by lovely ladies dressed in kimonos, the owner gave me as a gift a beautiful Japanese doll that I still have displayed in a doll case

  8323. Great job in learning these hard languages specially since E Asia uses different approach to how to say phrases
    4
  8324. Congratulations I smiled so hard because of how happy it made me
    4
  8325. You have made me fall more in love with the Chinese and Japanese culture then I ever thought I could. I am ready to learn their languages. Even thought I might be too old to retain it. I would just like to learn so bad.
    4
  8326. Really u look so pretty in Japanese dress 😚😚.. Nd its little horriby earthquake
    4
  8327. You should be getting your 100,000 subscribers award from YouTube. Maybe you could do a video showing it to us, assuming they send it to you there in Japan. Congratulations, and thanks for all your hard work...!

  8330. Wow! Just...WOW!!! Both Chinese and Japanese???!!! You seem to be equally proficient in both, so much so, that you can help Japanese people with learning Chinese and able to help Chinese people with learning Japanese as second languages! I hope you pursue a career in education, obviously in language instruction! You've already have inspired me to perfect my Spanish and to go on to learn German next! You've learned the best kept "secret" of language learning; don't be afraid of making mistakes and cast aside your timidity. When I first met my wife (who is from Ecuador) she spoke no English. NONE! I knew just the raw basics of Spanish but I needed badly to improve. Well, we both seeking to learn, so I attempted to teach her English. Her pronunciation was so bad, I swore that she'd NEVER learn. Turns out, I had no patience and I was just a terrible teacher! She began practicing (actually SPEAKING) every day. Fending off smirks and laughter at her mistakes, but advancing until 2 and 1/2 years later she had virtually no problems making herself understood anywhere. :) A common trait among her detractors was that they only spoke ONE language and that one poorly! Meanwhile, she continues to improve her English while the English proficiency of those insensitive clowns who smirked at her, remain STAGNANT! It's all because she doesn't have any fear! It only took myself about 30 years to learn Spanish because of my timidity and fear of making mistakes. Most of my advances came because my wife broke-down complicated Spanish into simplified Spanish for me. You're 100% correct about abandoning one's apprehensions about making errors when learning another language. LOSE YOUR FEAR! ¡PIERDE TU MEIDO!

  8331. Hi Pearl: Detroit here as well. I travel to China often myself. I have to agree 100% with your assessments thus far. 1) Automobiles are a status symbol, not necessity. 2) Chinese people are rude when in a crowd: tourist, airport, subway. 3) Motor bike Taxis are common throughout Asia. Most Asians do not have (what I call) a Purpose Driven Life. They live for today and live day to day. It is nothing for Taxis to sit on their bikes for hours, chatting with others, waiting for one, single customer. Then they HOPE it is a foreigner to charge them more. Thailand is very similar as many do not have a Purpose Driven Life. It is the difference in culture and societal norms. Americans, especially Detroiters, love our cars. Most refuse to take public transportation. Think about this, Detroit is the only major metro area in the USA that does not have a mass transit system (New York, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, LA, Dallas, etc) all have mass transportation (The People Mover is not Mass Transportation)

  8333. Do not give these people the attention they are clearly seeking Anming. Just continue with your videos. They are informative,enlightening,funny,and interesting....unlike the trolls!

  8334. Oriental Pearl I guess trolls have nothing better to do.....they have a sad life. Carry on, we love you.

  8335. It's fairly easy, just don't be a creep and you can talk to anyone. You saw it with Sam. He did not give off vibes that turn you away, he was fun and they had smalltalk. People smiled. Mission accomplished. I just found your channel and can't stop binge watching. Have a wonderful day!

  8336. AW I missed your videos so muchh!! i hope you're doing well and thanks for awesome eduactional videos ^_^

  8337. Wow😍 amazing as always 😍👍... Katie is also amazing. Thank you Anming for introducing her. The starting music🎵 is so addictive 🎶. Even I feel like dancing to the beats 💃. I don't have any questions for her but just want to say "You rock girl 👍. Keep on dancing 🎶💃🎶. Really loved your moves ❤️" There is a small typo in the beginning 0.01 sec it reads brining instead of bringing. Just wanted to let you know. Anyways I like to look at the bigger picture. It was a cool video which encouraged me to be more open and enjoy life 😎👍... Also a small request could you please let me the facebook link/name you posted a few days back? It wasn't a video. I saw but I missed copying the link 🙏. Thanks 🙇‍♀️. Thank you once again 🙏. Please take care of yourself 🙏 Love your videos ❤️😍

  8339. When I speak to ppl in general, I realise alot of ppl say they speak a language regardless of what their level is. This is weird for me because when I say I speak a language I mean I'm fluent.
    4
  8340. Your language skills are truly good! And believe me, I know how difficult it is to speak chinese, japanese or korean! You're amazing!👍👍👍

  8341. Thanks for the encouragement! Now to go back to it.

  8342. Was that Baskin Robbins? U should just mention what store ur at before u walk in. And put multiple languages in the title, especially Chinese since there's probably 2 billion of them worldwide and kanji is pretty much the same thing. Maybe even throw in "anming7" in chinese characters into your channel name. It's all about keywords and tags girl! I'm a coach of the youtubes trust me. You're headed for great super happy success!

  8343. You two ladies sisters?

  8344. I liked this. I’ve been learning Chinese for a few years, and I’m at an intermediate level. Listening to you two talk about what it’s like when you’re at a near-native level in a language, I am more motivated to study more and raise my Chinese to that level.

  8345. . Those women grabbing your arm for a picture was hilarious , well maybe not so funny for you. You are like a rock star for them .

  8346. I think you're doing a great job satisfying both the language learning side and the cultural, travel vlogger of Japan. The language learner enjoys hints and seeing you using the language in everyday life. The traveler part of me enjoys that you show things in Japan that I either didn't know existed, or didn't have time to see. I was wanted to visit some traditional onsen's in Japan but time, location and price must align and it didn't happen. I really want to go to Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan which is the oldest onsen in Japan and the oldest hotel in world run for over 50 generations by the same family. As expected it not the cheapest accommodation, it takes effort to get to it's location, and my travel partners voted me down. So, this was a fun video as you and Tommy baste or poach your selves in your own private bath. The onsen ryokan you spent the night at would suit my esthetic. So liked the language school Instagram posts, your interests seem either align with, or anticipate my interests. Your posts are insta clicks and worthy of a view or two. Glad you and Tommy had a good time. Great video.

  8347. I don't even know these people and I'd love to hang out with them. Teach me things, me teach them things, learn, have a great time. That girl in the middle seems like a lot of fun to hang out with! And the other guys seem really cool too! I love how they are just chilling and playing beyblade basically. Such an authentic video!

  8359. Don't listen to your critics!! You are doing extremely well 👏 Some people just have to get a life and enjoy it and stop being negative about people like you who bring much joy through your positive videos. 👏

  8376. Thank you for sharing such candid moments with us. It’s beautiful to see you connect with others in a way we all need to… and want to. When we learn another language it shows we care and respect the people and their culture. Can I ask why this thumbnail here though? It was a positive meeting and visit.. but the thumbnail does not speak to that. ❤️

  8382. 0:39 I'm dying because this is a surprisingly relatable problem 😭 My father once told me an anecdote where he saw a little girl saying "那个那个!" while excitedly pointing at something. Meanwhile the person standing next to little girl just looked in complete horror.

  8383. These videos are so warming. Chinese people are incredible. I love how happy they are when they see people speaking their language.
    4
  8384. Seeing this kind of videos is so inspiring. I can speak German ( native) and English (fluent). I am content with knowing stuff like hello, thanks, yes and no in some more languages, but I really want to reach fluidity with Korean. So seeing you rocking much more difficult languages after learning them in adulthood is really motivating.

  8385. Alyssa, you are very talented in Japanese and Chinese languages now Korean wow, I can see one day possibly Vietnamese language too.

  8412. Love the new direction of your content. As a Canadian (and we also have to be mindful about erroneous assumptions regarding people's origins), being quite accustomed to many accents and proficiency levels with spoken English I don't worry much about people's sincerity when receiving jozu compliments. First, in my interactions with people who hesitate to speak in English (because it's not perfect), I often tell them their English is very good. Why? I think it's human instinct. They are beginners and need encouragement. Second, without being condescending, I think we need to think of language learners as language toddlers. Do we heap toddlers with scorn because they cannot walk or speak? No. We gush all over their imperfect efforts. Adult language learners are not that different in needing a little gush-love-reward for their attempts. When they become more proficient we dial it back. Which is exactly what the people you interviewed pointed out. The words used and the questions asked change. What's important to understand, however, is that Japanese people will find you more endearing if you recognize your limitations and demur--ie, ie.

  8420. That's it, they speak a few sentences and they claim to speak the language. No, they claim to speak 10 or 20 languages.

  8428. Thank you for video. You are amazing and inspire me in mastering English. Good luck
    4
  8429. I doubt that just being able to have basic conversations in a language, in a general sense, makes you fluent in that language. When I hear "polyglots" try to speak other languages, they sound like they have a lot to learn and native speakers are usually not very impressed either. I speak 3 other languages (besides English) fluently btw
    4
  8430. Great video - it’s nice to see real issues that people are struggling with

  8431. 6:40 the koreans were saying "micheo bwa igeo" or "This is crazy!" and "micheo bwa" which means "Its crazy" lol in case anyone was wondering

  8446. i used to think about it a few months ago, i always thought "wow they speak so many languages BUT the more i watched their videos, the more i came to the conclusion that they're just used to repeat the same 3 sentences" and it gives off the impression that they speak fluent turkish/korean/cambodian... and i'm so happy that you're speaking up about this issue cuz it really made me feel bad cuz i saw lots of so called "polyglots" speaking 10 languages with random people and i really thought that they worked more than me but at the end of the day most of them get away with daily/basic conversations and make it seem "advanced"

  8447. Hi! 😊 Just found your channel and followed! Can I ask - what is an “Assassination Class”? 🙏🫣

  8452. I want to visit both cities some day. I’ve been to Hong Kong but I heard that Bejing is way different. Probably the next destination after Covid would be Japan because our trip was actually planned for this year but yeah... You know why that didn’t happen. :)

  8453. Lovely outfit you’re wearing at the end of the video, it matched the blossom on the beautiful tree! Stay safe x

  8454. I’m happy that you were able to extend your stay in Japan. As for my own personal horror story, I was in Thessaloniki in Oct 2016 w a few friends. I was scheduled to fly out of ‘Solun in 24hrs but got word that the airports in Greece were going to go on strike. We were able to reach our travel agent and reschedule the flight out from Skopje but we would have to drive the 6hrs overnight to get there. Soo long story short, got back to Skopje but the Greek airports somehow overrode the ticket changes and rescheduled our flight out of ‘Solun! The airport ppl in Skopje said they couldn’t change it. I ended up missing the flight. Fortunately enough, we had a friend in Skopje that we were able to stay the night at and were able to reschedule a flight out from Skopje the next day thru the travel agent at no additional cost. I swear, it’s never fun going thru stuff like that but it’s always a story that adds to all the grand experiences in life! 😅😣😏

  8455. I love watching your videos. Just like you l am trilingual, but not in Asian languages. I speak French, English and am entering my 3rd year of Italian. I could not agree with you more when you speak about practice and making mistakes. I live in the French Alpes on the Italian border and am able to practice daily. Between my interaction with the ltalian natives and constantly practicing my pronunciation on YouTube and with my professor l am getting there. I even speak to my cats in ltalian! Bravo for your progress.

  8456. That noodle service was so cool!💜 I too have a fear of tsunami sirens. As a little girl living in Hawaii, we had a tsunami heading toward the island and I was at dance class after school. The dance teacher was trying to get ahold of eveyones parents but this was way before cell phones. We were all scared, crying and wanted out parents. I remember every tv was on that warning screen. All the radios had sirens and shouting "this is not a drill!" and the blaring sirens all over the island. My parents gathered important papers and we were allowed to take only 1 doll with us. I chose my ET doll. We sat in traffic with others fleeing..I asked my mom if I was going to die I remember the sad look in her eyes and that she just touched my leg and told me she would be with me and make sure I was ok. We were all trying to get to higher ground in the mountains, inland. Thankfully by the time it reached the shore it was not nearly as big as predicted. But I have old home videos of that day and the fear I had as a 5 year old child has not left me when I hear those sirens. I truly hope Japan can heal not just from the devastation of their land but from the emotional scars as well. 💕

  8458. I've always noticed that once you reach a certain level people stop commenting on your language. I don't know about how it is in China though. Only lived in Japan

  8459. Great video. Brings back memories. Due to circumstance, I was married in Japan in beautiful Karuizawa with only my Japanese wife and myself. It was wonderful. Then about one year later we had a huge family wedding at a Japanese hotel where over 200 guests attended. It was also great. Immediately after the wedding the had our "2nd Party" in Shinjuku where our close friends treated us to a great time. The next day we flew to American for an awesome 2 week honeymoon. If you want you can have a bigger wedding when things get better. You are so lucky to live in Japan. Good luck and happiness.

  8473. I think it is OK if you want to learn just a little bit of a language so that you can do some "daily business". But I agree it is silly the way these scammers are flexing their "skills" and then raking in big bucks and on top of that giving people false hope. I was lucky enough to have been grown up 3-ish lingual with Finnish, German, and Swiss Dialect and then we started to learn French quite early in school. I understand Dutch because my wife is from the Netherlands and obviously I picked up some English along the way. I would never consider myself a polyglot in any way shape or form, but I would say I am "used to" switching between different grammar structures and vocabulary pools. A year ago I started learning Japanese just because it was fun to me, I truly enjoy the process and I invested a lot of time into it. Yet after a year of intense on and off study, I would say I am barely at the point where I would dare to have small conversations and miles away from claiming "I speak Japanese". So I think people should do what they enjoy and whether it is mastering languages to an insane degree like both of you, or if it's just a basis for daily casual talk, but the deliberate spread of misinformation for personal benefit is ba - in every case - and should be called out. You have no reason to be hesitant or even apologize for making this video! Well done (I love both your channels).

  8474. I really love your channel, I hope I can someday live in Japan :)

  8478. I'm curious, do people always assume that you're Russian because they're used to seeing people from Russia visiting?
    4
  8479. You've totally reignited my desire to continue learning new languages, it was so cool to watch you naturally switching between talking with everyone

  8480. If you want to be really Chinese you gotta bargain them to a “朋友价” friend price.

  8482. I loved the dining part in the end. Reminded me of my own roommates from University, We used to cook together and eat the same way you do in this video, sitting around a big table, sharing food and laughs. The nostalgia....

  8485. Hey Oriental Pearl! I absolutley LOVE you’re videos and they motivate me to want to study Japanese, Chinese, and Korean more! I just have a few questions. What apps can I use that are free to keep me motivated and study Japanese in a productive way? What’s a good way to learn the hiragana and katakana and kanji more frequently? How long did it take you to get fluent in Japanese, Chinese and Korean? And do you have a video or how was it moving from America to Japan? (Sorry if this was too long lol)

  8486. It's so hard to image your old parents would live in such circumstances. It's heartbreaking. Very interesting footage though.

  8489. Cool video as always! It is a bit sad see these areas, l have spent a couple of months in Detroit in early 80s in a place called Taylor, nice places.

  8490. great vid, actually i am moving to japan on january to learn the language, i wonder if i am already too old for this at my 33years

  8491. Because of you I am trying to (slowly) learn Japanese, so thank you.

  8492. ​Do you feel you can streamline editing the more you do vids? 15 hrs , I never knew was so time consuming . Great job , have enjoyed all your vids. Thank you.

  8493. So about your question regarding how we feel when someone is talking in a foreign language around us. I honestly don’t care, what are the chances of all the other people around me that someone would focus on talking about me when I’m just another human they’ve probably walked past or sat near. I’m just another passerby. If anything I think it’s cool or something that Someone being able to speak another language. Sometimes I’m curious about what language it is so I listen and can guess the language. Sometimes I instantly recognize it and be like I wish I spoke it lol It also depends on the setting, If I’m in a foreign country and I get stares for being black or something and people are talking/whispering? Maybe they are talking about me? But I usually give them the benefit of the doubt. How would I know for sure? So I just go about my day unbothered. I remember in high school some kids would get mad b/c X group would speak in another language and be laughing but they would think they were being made fun of. But personally I would imagine they would just be cracking jokes with eachother and it has nothing to do with me. It’s a pretty cool question but yeah at the end of the day I just don’t feel bothered by it for the most part.

  8495. I really enjoyed getting a sense of how Japanese families experience the new year. Thanks for sharing!

  8496. Your mandarin didn’t surprise me but your Japanese is so goood...... from a chinese. The pronunciation and phrases you use is almost perfect.

  8497. it's KTea !!! (the stunningly gorgeous half-Black, half-Japanese lady @0:10 ) she's really well known in the "street wear" fashion scene. i think she's also a model/dancer/fashionista/etc. some photos of her from last month/year ... https://tokyofashion.com/harajuku-dancer-street-style-cardigan-skinny-jeans-mossimo-dr-martens/ https://tokyofashion.com/harajuku-dancers-streetwear-styles-w-turban-headband-colored-hairstyles-face-paints-cutout-sweater-pleated-skirt-shirt-dress-tabi-boots/ edit : the moment the sister's said "Can you see where it says 6%?" i knew they were taking you to 6%DokiDoki that spot is one of those iconic "Tokyo Fashion" clothing/accessory stores in Harajuku

  8498. As I grew up in Hong Kong, we were always taught to be 謙虛 and that attitude remained even after I came to US around 8 years ago. People always either assume I'm not confident or fishing for more compliments, but when I receive compliments me my first thought is "okay what do you want from me?" Haha. Goes to show how important understanding culture is when learning a new language!
    4
  8499. I’ve studied Japanese for 8.5 years and love it. But I still have a lot to learn. I am happy I decided to learn the language or else I wouldn’t have met some of my best friends.

  8500. This is new to me. Very special what you are doing. Keep up the good spirit. God Bless from the Netherlands.

  8504. It is always fun to watch their reactions when you speak to them in their native tongue. Hope you are doing well. Take care and be safe. 'Spin'
    4
  8505. I love this video! A lot of language channels make it seem like you can be fluent in a month or two. Even you who’s already learned several languages can’t that quickly. It really makes me more dedicated and determined than ever to continue my language journeys! 😊
    4
  8506. Looks like you both had a wonderful time together, I hope to trip to the hotel was pleasant.

  8507. I’m surprised they didn’t start constructing a statue of you, before proceeding to take selfies with you in front of said statue 😂.

  8508. I do enjoy your videos. I really like how you use your language skills. If you want to see some good day in life videos in Japan check out the Youtuber Paolo from Tokyo. I have learned so much about Japan from watching both of your channels. Thank you.

  8509. Best wishes for you all from the Netherlands

  8512. ♥️ U Anming. Been with you from the beginning. I almost gave up on you during the time you were being so analytical of your channel and critical of your fans. I knew you weren't working, you were trying to go back to China and you were under alot of stress. I forgave you. I've always been happy for you and proud of you. I hoped you would return to the States someday, to teach and inspire us. America's loss is Japan's gain. Praying for your continued success in all that you do. 😊😘

  8513. If i have a chance, can i see you in Tokyo during Srping break? I'm a oversea student came from Vietnam. Now I living in Osaka city.

  8514. When u speak Chinese, Me: Fluent despite a little foreign accent. When u speak Japanese which I can't understand at all, Me: Perfect! No problem at all. Conclusion: What u don't know is flawless.

  8515. I went to see an autopsy once, when I was a neuropsychologist trainee at a hospital and I can tell you that human brains are softer and squishier than you'd probably think.
    4
  8516. I always thought when I moved to another country that I would live alone. That's because, I have bad social anxiety. I'm comfortable being alone because the only people I talk to(when they are here) are my mom and my brother. Most of the time I'm by myself. You make living with people sound fun. Though I get scared of not being liked. I really like your videos, I wish you spoke Korean because I am learning Korean first. Your videos are in a style I enjoy. There aren't many foreign Korean speaking vloggers that I know of.🤟💜

  8525. There were Cantonese people out there saying wow the girl can speak Japanese, I think they were referring to you.
    4
  8526. I’m going for the first time in April. So excited! I picked up Pimsleur and hope to be able to communicate at least a little bit.
    4
  8527. Always enjoy your videos and that you introduce culture as well as language.
    4
  8528. I am glad to see you speaking Korean. Do a special video on all the great food Korea has during your next trip.

  8529. The most disrespectful thing to any culture is telling people not to participate in it.

  8532. Wow, Halloween in Japan looks like a cosplay session. It looks really fun.
    4
  8533. This was so wholesome! I loved it, especially the cute おばあちゃん! I can't wait to go back to Japan, now studying Japanese at university. I'll take your advice on approaching people and making friends, for sure!
    4
  8534. I’m glad you guys got to have fun (even though it was rainy). And don’t worry about taking a break, everyone needs breaks to relax and enjoy life.

  8535. Thank you for making such an informative video.

  8536. The rickshaw driver was so funny when he said "... I'm from Ishikawa prefecture. I'm a sh*t hillbilly." He has a terrific sense of humor and so much personality. I was blown away by how much a rickshaw costs, and that doesn't even include an engine!
    4
  8537. When you look foreign you have to deal with the same questions again and again, like you were fresh of the boat. That is the price we have to pay for living the best life in Japan. 😉
    4
  8538. Very nicely done, Anming. Good on you recommending ways to help at the end.
    4
  8539. It looks like the same woman who followed me in Kalamazoo a few years ago.

  8540. This is eye opening exposure. I never expected Tokyo (Japan) has such thing. Btw, you are also good news anchors..
    4
  8541. being english and never having learnt any other language i am always amazed how native english speakers can learn and speak so fluintly in foreign languages. huge respect to you. :-)
    4
  8542. Been studying Japanese for 3 weeks and pausing occasionally to watch your videos for motivation. Unfortunately, I've now watched them all! Maybe I'll have to rewatch everything again! Keep it up. I love that you switch it up and give us a little of everything in these videos. I feel like I'm seeing the real Japan and meeting real Chinese/Japanese people.

  8543. The best, your fans from Indonesia.

  8544. Great video, loved seeing the US through Tommy's eyes. It was fun. Thanks for sharing.

  8545. nice video!

  8546. I loved Tommy's reaction to trying American food! It's incredible how your husband is willing to give your culture a try, just like you gave his a try! <3
    4
  8547. I have been learning Japanese for about a year. Recently, I have been talking with native Japanese speakers online. Almost all of them said their English is "bad" when it's actually quite good. I was really baffled by this until I watched this video. Very insightful!
    4
  8548. Hey our gorg Anming ❤ another good video some Japanese people can be a little judgemental but the ones that are not has a place in my heart ❤

  8549. Glad it worked out.Just stay in Japan, its better there. Keep up the videos . Thx from Hawaii

  8550. Hello from Saga, Japan. Yes, even me I've experienced earthquakes down here including 2 in Kumamoto Prefecture. I still think the Earthquake alarm on your phones are scary.haha😄😅🙏🗾

  8551. Well ear cleaning in Japan. Not quite what comes to the top of my mind when I think of things to do in Tokyo. I used to work outdoors in a windy, dusty, area. Hadn't had a hearing test in a while and the audiologist was training a new graduate and when the trainee did my ear exam he immediately got the audiologist who said I needed to have my ears cleaned at clinic or hospital, before they could do the test. The clinic told me to put olive oil in my ear for three days before attending for cleaning. Then they used a warm mineral water solution and pulled stuff out of my ears that made your haul look pristine and minimal. I honestly wondered how I could hear anything with the load they pulled out. Liked that I understood more words and phrases, so I guess I am learning, slowly. It may have been unusual but in a weird way I enjoyed it. Now I need to book a hearing test.
    4
  8552. Good vid. Good to know Japan is as allegedly a far safer country than any other in the world.

  8553. Anming…you look 👀 so pretty in the (hanbok) the pink color is beautiful. I’m so excited and happy that you got the opportunity to visit S. KOREA and the lady serving the grilled meat reminded me of my mother…I’m Indigenous Native American but her sense of humor was Great. Sending you blessings and encouragement Always. Yes…your Korean is improving. It’s very different than Japanese to me the vowels and words are not as hard …kind of like Spanish from Mexico 🇲🇽 vs. Spanish from Spain 🇪🇸. Great interactions and episode…I’ve been a SUBSCRIBER for years and I love your videos. 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️‍🔥🙏🏽

  8560. Hey! I am student that is planning to go to Waseda in my 3rd year (undergrad), since it's our only partner university in Japan. I was wondering if I could ask you or someone else going there some more questions? I would really really appreciate it!
    4
  8561. Tommy (Boyfriend) - WHHHAAAAT! You two are very cute together!! Also, I am happy to hear that you're safe. It's funny to see everyone carry on as if it was nothing. We pretty much function the same way in California. "Oh, another earthquake?"

  8562. Never knew karate was this fun

  8564. Tommy’s YELLOW HAIR is AMAZING 🙆🏻‍♀️🔥🥰🙌🏽. I loved seeing him hoard his candy. The SPIDER-MAN looked GREAT 👍🏽 too. I’m happy to see all the interactions and your Chinese- Mongolian ex-roommate (HE’s so HANDSOME). I loved 🥰 NATHAN’s costume and I appreciate his calm and friendly personality. Everything was exciting and fun once again. I hope you try to make a Thanksgiving Dinner 🍽️ for Tommy but if it’s not your thing…it’s alright. Being a “GENIUS” is sufficient. Sending you blessings and encouragement. 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️‍🔥 N. California

  8566. I enjoyed this fun video. Anming at play, a rarely seen phenomena in the wild. So with all this combat training, I guess you'll be challenging Jessica Gerrity to a blood match. I'm far from experienced with only twenty days spent in Japan, but always found they were basically as friendly as anywhere else I've been. Many times the interactions were to offer assistance because I looked confused, but they didn't realize I always look confused. I've been told my basic demeaner is intimidating, so no matter where I am it is something I am conscious of and have to work to dispel that impression. However situationally, even with my atrocious Japanese, I found that it helped to make connections.
    4
  8567. If someone had told me that I was watching a shopping trip video a year ago, I'd have told them they're crazy. I initially came for the language skills. Now I stay for your personality, and the interactions between you and whomever in three languages. I really enjoy these glimpses a day in your life in Tokyo. Thanks.

  8568. Such an inspiration. Gonna check her band out now

  8569. OMG Anming my favorite candy at 8:37 lol. You’re too funny and awesome!
    4
  8570. Cool video. I think you both nailed it on the dot. As a language learner, I'm looking for inspiration and a realistic outlook. The obstacles and challenges that await. Not fluff or false promises, simply because the " host " or influencer, wants to come out smelling like a rose. Appreciate the both of you coming to this point and keeping language learners interest at heart.
    4
  8571. I've been binge watching your channel recently and I LMAO when you played the "Hallelujah" soundtrack after she said you looked American. It's true though, I didn't remember anyone else saying you looked American. Italy was a new one too. I love your channel BTW. I have been wanting to learn Japanese for a while now and you've motivated me to start. I'm on Lesson 4 on Pimsleur and I was able to understand some of your conversations! Keep the great content coming!

  8572. OMG that little girl was ssssoooo excited to meet some foreigners! Adorable :)

  8576. Hey Anming! Have faith in yourself! You're doing a great job , just hang in there. May be good things takes some time think in that aspect. Please the way you express yourself is so refreshing and also bold when you are starightforward. Suggestion of increasing subscriber: catchy clickthroughrate which will cater you to further reach to subscriber, you can do collab with other YouTubers, I remember you did with YuKi And positive comments such as this one and from many other will come in recommendation.
    4
  8577. I am a sub and I watch pretty much all your videos after you post them. You just need to build up your sub count. 14k is still pretty small by youtube standard these days. But don't give up, your content has a viewer group and that group is quite large. So good luck and keep up the good work.
    4
  8578. You know who your real fans are.
    4
  8579. I love your videos! Don't get discouraged! Keep them coming! I already can't wait for the next and I know there are many more that feel the same as me
    4
  8580. You and your videos make a difference in my day. You make me smile, you give me hope, you lift my heart. You also increase my knowledge not only of these places but also of the people and their culture. I hope you continue with your channel but most of all, do what brings you happiness. Likes and views come and go but never forget that you're making a difference. Stay safe!
    4
  8581. This was a fantastic video. Please continue. You are reaching many corners of the globe.
    4
  8582. If you are in it for the view count and to make money then yeah you are gonna have a tough road to travel on youtube without the funny faces and reactions etc... If you are in it to bring hope and love and tears to a smaller audience, then you already won the war because you just did that with me. This video was amazing. You are amazing!
    4
  8583. Be patience , don't let viewers number discourage what you do. We are rooting for you!

  8584. You have to keep up the videos. You are so chill you make me relax when I watch.

  8586. i just love this country,everytime i see hose videos my heartbeat goes crazy, ill be in japan someday no matter what. inshallah :)
    4
  8587. It feels really good to see people appreciate the effort you take to learn their language. I remember speaking Chinese in Taiwan with another foreigner (I'm Dutch, he's Portuguese), and so many people were suprised we didn't communicate in English but in Chinese haha. One of my best memories, so much fun.

  8588. A system is broken if a relatively rich country is unable, or is it unwilling to find a solution? Did you say this location isn't on maps? Is that a governmental decision? Shocking. Stay safe 🙏 ❤️
    4
  8589. Woah is that actually from tower records? I miss that store it was sooo cool as a kid 😱 The last one by me was shut down over 15 years ago! Is it a popular store in Japan?
    4
  8590. "Japan is all about rules. If rules are broken, they don't know what to do." Well I'm pretty sure they know how to solve many things -with rules or without rules. That's why Japan is one of the most advanced countries in the world

  8591. Lol my son took a picture with that lady at harajuku :48sec. Man I love Japan, endless things to do. Keep up videos.

  8592. So exited for the video!

  8593. What you’ve accomplished is like my dream. I want to get married to in Japan to a Japanese wife someday 😭Congratulations, I hope you have a great life with your husband. 🎉🎊🍾🥳
    4
  8594. When he talked about his family being atomic bomb survivors it broke my heart. 😢 Sometimes this world and its mentality makes me so sad. This group.of men who.welcomed you and shared with you, made me believe good can come through anywhere💜
    4
  8595. You must truly love learning new languages and are willing to put in the effort to take on a new and daunting challenge. Finnish is tough! And you have all of my sincere respect for taking it on. Hoping it goes well in the future. Though I love studying a new language, I'm a linguistic idiot, and had to take first year Japanese three times. Thankfully, my head sort of transitioned into a space where the sounds and structure were beginning to make sense. However, when I began looking at Icelandic and Norwegian, it was really hard to get my brain to absorb the new sounds. I keep wanting Icelandic to sound like Japanese, and its not going to change for my benefit.

  8598. Just amazing 😊 Anming. Tommy san I started learning Japanese because of my love for Japan and Japanese people 🇯🇵🙏. Anming's channel has been of huge help to know more about Japan and her videos are not only entertaining but encouraging as well to know and learn different languages and culture 😊🙏. I can't thank you enough for that Anming 🙏. 本当にありがとうございます🙏🙇‍♀️。 Lots of love ❤️🤗

  8601. I've been to Japan 4 times. I was very lucky and was in a famous band out there. I loved Japan so much it is the most beautiful place on earth (well Russia Siberia as well).... love from the US 🇺🇸 AMAZING CONTENT. I'll be following your journeys now thank you.

  8604. Two years ago, I had for free in a Chinese store near here something for Christmas and a smile from the Chinese woman. The Chinese people here always smile when I speak to them in Chinese mandarin, I like that and I normally when I watch Chinese dramas on YouTube I always disable the English subtitles. I write my diary in Chinese mandarin and I am thinking writing a song in Chinese one day...

  8610. Love the fact of dressing with the correct attire to shoot arrows.

  8611. I love watching your videos! It's fun to see how excited people are simply to converse with you. The fact that you're just as kind to everyone you meet makes it that much better. Keep up the great content!
    4
  8612. Hope you are doing well.

  8613. The little village/town did give a spooky vibe when it started raining LOL. Kind of a similar feeling with what a English medieval village during rainfall would feel like I could imagine. I guess old village architecture gives kind of a unique "isolating" energy 😹 very beautiful though!
    4
  8614. I love these kind of videos. I studied Japanese really heavily from about age 15 through 23 but after graduating college had almost zero chance to speak it. At almost 40 I can still watch TV and movies and stuff without translation but I basically never get to speak unless I'm in Japan. Every time I go I feel inadequate for the first day or two until I remember that I am a relatively giant gaijin and as long as I'm intelligible and gracious it's gonna be fine, people are nice. Talk to kids and old folks, they have enough social leeway to shoot the breeze. One of my favorite memories is sitting by the river with three 80something old dudes drinking cans of beer and talking about what the area looked like when they were kids and then adults after the war. I think wherever people go they need to spend more time talking with the elderly. Their insight and experience makes travel so much richer.
    4
  8615. I have a flight booked to Tokyo at the end of March for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Planning on going to Osaka and Kyoto also. If I don't get to go this year, I will go next year. Hope to see you out and about.
    4
  8616. As a fellow Michigander I want to convey to you how much I appreciate your videos, I live vicariously through you, and also work on my social anxiety through your videos by imagining myself in the same scenarios you put yourself in. It also helps with my social anxiety to see you put yourself out there and nothing bad happens. so it helps me build up my courage. So thank you for your videos! I also love languages and have learned some in high school, and small amount through Anime, K--dramas , J-dramas, and their T.V. shows that I can find on YouTube ( like love letter). My husband and I had planned years ago to visit Japan, but I got sick and started to have seizures, then after taking meds and them helping me I found out I was pregnant. After having our son I stopped having seizures and am slowly getting back to health, So maybe we will be able to visit Japan in the future. With all that said, What would you recommend for us to do in Japan, or really any of Asia, with a child. I worry our son won't find culture as interesting as we do. Thank you again! I Will see you in your next video!

  8617. Love your videos 💖how many languages do you speak?

  8618. Hey girl love your videos! Just wondering, will you still be posting when you return to China? I know that they don’t have youtube there :(

  8619. I’m so glad he got to visit. I’m getting all choked up cuz he had to leave. 😩

  8620. The first step is to try and you already have done that so I have no doubt you will be successful. Best of luck to you.

  8623. I've actually seen videos like this where they switch from one language to another in a conversation, and when they speak my language, they just say the equivalence of "How are you? Good morning. You are beautiful." Like whut? That's elementary. Thanks for taking interest in my language but taking pride in your "fluency" is kinda weird.

  8624. Thank you for the video 🙏 I am a linguist and a qualified EFL teacher (although I’ve moved away from teaching). So this subject is close to my heart, but I after this video I was left a bit confused. Yes, people claiming to be experts and creating ineffective products using personal hype are annoying in any area, not just language learning. You are saying that you don’t necessarily think their products are bad. So what is the problem then? The marketing techniques they use? Well, lots if marketing trends are informed by human behaviour and behavioural economics research. The fact that they dare create something without a degree in the subject and get money for that? I’d say well done, because potential customers would be taking their money to someone anyway and these people managed to attract customers. Psychologically we will always believe in a miracle, so clickbait-y lines will always attract people, not everyone, but still a lot. I used to be surrounded mostly by linguists and language enthusiasts, so talking about languages was easy and enjoyable. Then I started meeting people from different backgrounds and realised that the standards of fluency are very subjective (what people put into the meaning of the word “fluent”). Not everyone wants or needs to keep digging for more cultural detail. Every learner has their own goals, standards and requirements for themselves. So whatever makes them feel like they achieved their goals has the right to exist 🤷‍♀️ The discussion here could have been about what actually works in language learning and what products are good examples of that. Don’t get me wrong, I used to feel so angry if I came across a bad quality language learning product, but actually, people buy what they want to buy. If you want to contribute to a change in the market, create a good product or educate the audience on how to choose a good language learning strategy and tools. Some learners (with particular backgrounds) actually can get fluent in a different language in 3 months. Again, thank you for your video, I really enjoy your channel (not planning to unsubscribe 😁), it’s good to keep the discussion going. Take care 🙏😊

  8627. You have the most good-natured comment section of any YouTube channel, which shows you that the world is like a mirror. Put out positive energy and receive it back :) ありがとうございます、アンミングさん。

  8628. It's not just your well spoken Chinese that gets you noticed....its your lovely nature too. You are soooo talented and gorgeous with it.😘

  8629. Just watched THIS, (Great job! Never watched your channel before so, good on you for doing this!) kinda guess, I should watch part one first but, nah. I'll comment now and watch part one after. Was wondering, (No idea what your take is on this is.) what are your feelings about the global pandemic in Japan, and assuming your viewing/identifying your "daily actions" as Japan normal or do you view yourself from a foreign perspective being not Japanese. 👍 good content. Cheers!

  8630. I learned my first sentence in Mandarin "Excuse me, can you speak Chinese?" I'm excited to learn more, I'll be fluent when I'm 44 (I'm 34 now lol...)

  8631. The biggest thing I would say about any language - is to get the sounds correct. for example Kirei = pretty and Kirai = hate. The sound difference is only a little, but if you get it wrong it could be difference between saying "You are pretty" and "I hate you". So practice the a i u e o, ka ki ku ke ko, etc. practice the tones in Chinese... just get the sounds correct, then little by little expand your vocab. This will get you much further than trying to remember lots of phrases. And when you practice the sounds your ear becomes used to how the language sounds and you will be able to pick out the words you know and the words you don't know. So train your tounge and your ear first. This is my advice for any beginner.

  8632. Growing up in the Intermountain Northwest, I remember seeing abandoned homes in the rural areas I lived in. I always found them quite sad, like a dog waiting for a master who was never coming home. And others just looked plain creepy, like they were haunted. In time I found out local families owned the land where these houses sat, they just used the land as a Tax Write Off. pearl, you should take your husband to one of the local haunted attractions, they should be starting up there soon, in honor of Halloween 🎃

  8633. There's a bamboo thicket at the Huntington Library in Pasadena, CA - I used to go there on my lunches and sit in it and listen to the wind blow through it. Immensely peaceful.

  8634. 4:30 in my country if there are no trash cans, people just litter on the floor. This make me realised that, Japanese people were on whole different level, that they are not even think people will litter the trash if there are no trash cans.
    4
  8635. I find it odd how foreigners seem to be more upset and angry about this than Japanese people are. Everyone you interacted with in the video were so friendly to both of you 💜

  8640. I went on a tour in China back in 2014 and it was a fun experience (I don’t remember too much but it was still an adventure) A lot of the time some locals would talk to me in Mandarin and then realize quickly I wasn’t a local 😅 which was a bit awkward but still fun (public toilets there shocked me at first but it’s okay)

  8643. @ 2:30. I agree, I have had a Yumi for well over a year now as a present for myself on my last trip to Japan, and I only had one hours practice with a Kyudo instructor whilst over there. My local archery club in the UK haven't got a clue about how I could improve my technique with it. I still don't know how they make the bow spin anticlockwise in the hand after the release. So far I have discovered that I need to turn my right thumb towards my chin when drawing the bowstring to stop the arrow flying off to the right of target. It is however fun to use one of the longest bow types in the world, the Yumi is even longer than the English Longbow.

  8644. You are smart

  8645. Hello Pearl, if you are looking for subtitle software, since you understand Chinese, I would like to recommend you to watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ath3BX9DBRs and download some programs, when you've done the subtitle file just directly upload it to Youtube.

  8660. I find it impressive when you master such a difficult language so perfectly. I stay tuned 😘
    4
  8661. Your dedication is absolutely awesome! It taks so much effort to learn Eastern Asian languages, especially because of the pronounciation. Do you ever get confused between Chinese, Japanese and Korean?
    4
  8662. If only you started vlogging way back 2012. I would've been your biggest supporter since then. I've been following you for over 2 months now. I never get bored watching your vlogs.

  8663. Hey Anming! 我问你一下 Where did you do your bachelor and what was it? Was your bachelor also in International Relations? I think in some video you said you studied business, is it possible to have masters IR after undergraduate business? PS. I am a China/Japan enthusiast high schooler, trying to figure out the right university path for me. I completely adore your channel! Btw since I am learning Simplified Chinese and would love to learn Japanese in the future, I am very curious about how you managed, learning both Simplified Hanzi and Kanji. Did you already know the traditional characters before learning Japanese? Did you ever use to mix up the two? Sorry if that's too many questions :)

  8664. I really wanna go to Taïwan, personnaly, one day ! There are good videos on Asian Boss channel about what chinese people think about democracy, and so on

  8673. I have challenge for: You mentioned about direction. Challenge is to take taxi ride but you not allowed to speak Chinese or Japanese only English,see if the taxi drive takes you the shortest route or rips you off, then at the end of the journey hit with your Japanese or Chinese lol 😂🇬🇧.

  8674. Just wanna say I appreciate you as an inspiration! I just made it past 3k subs this week and your channel is one of the reasons I can work hard and continue so thanks 🙏🏽

  8677. LMAOOO Of course the weather was beyond terrible in your Ireland visit ahahaha.. I've lived here most of my life and I'm struggling more and more every winter because of the ridiculous constant heavy winds and rain, especially the last month where we've been having 2/3 storms a week. Even today where it was considered calm I had to have a full day of filming for my film class and not only did the weather change like 10 times but the cold wind literally makes things impossible and is slowly killing my body LOL

  8681. It's cool you talked with that Chinese woman and made her feel welcome in Japan. Awesome kindness.
    4
  8682. That was epic! People's reactions to that were adorable - the intense focus.
    4
  8683. What are your thoughts on focusing on a language as one of your main aspects? Like for example I just submitted my applications for University and my focus was Chinese studies as honestly I am not a really good person when it comes to studying and education so I had to stop pursuing my other choices. Now obviously the 2 main career paths are teaching and translating, for me I just couldn't be a teacher and I don't enjoy translating but at the same time i want to use my multiple languages as an advantage :/ Also keep going with your channel the content and quality gets better each video! 加油 :D

  8684. This is video is very funny 😁.. You look freakin pretty✨

  8685. Here in Pakistan, earthquakes are also common. This is because the Eurasian and Indian Tectonic plate border runs through our mainland. Besides, there was also an earthquake here just last week! It was so scary... Mind you, I have seismophobia. Dude, that one back in October 26 2015 was so damn violent and destructive. In fact, it was the most destructive quake since that infamous one in 2005. Anyways, I hope you stay safe Anming!

  8686. today i discovered your channel .. it’s increíble how you speak 2 of the must difficult languages in the world .. i would like to know how it’s the method you used for being easy to learn? i know that the time you dedicate and the disciple could be the key 🔑.. thanks since El Salvador 🇸🇻

  8714. I think exactly these reactions of people are the reason why watching videos like yours. Its not common. Otherwise i understand why you didnt like before. But i like your attitude just keep up your work. Im a big fan . Greetings from Germany

  8715. I am so glad you have your channel back❤

  8716. Nice change up. It is interesting how you present mostly raw footage without boring the viewer. I feel like I just took a trip to Vietnam! Thank you, as always, for sharing.
    4
  8717. With your language skills, I'm sure you'd fit right in any business in Japan! The vocabulary you don't have, you'd pick up really fast, and you can always revert to English or Chinese if you need to say something you don't know how to say in Japanese! I don't think this is something that would really shut down doors on you! I am trying to learn both Mandarin and Japanese right now. I have a few basics in Japanese (can't hold a conversation) and I'm a total beginner with Mandarin... I wish I could a be third as fluent as you are! If I can become fluent and Mandarin and Japanese, I would speak 4 languages (French being my mother tongue). I would LOVE that!

  8718. I love how this fashion is somewhat coming back!!

  8723. 0:30 can you please don't smile... I really can't... you're too cute. When I showed your video to my mom, Mom: is she Chinese tho? Me: NO! She's American! Mom: I don't believe you... What should I do?
    4
  8724. Hi, Anming! Your content is one of my inspirations for learning Nihongo (and later on Mandarin/Cantonese). I was wondering if you could dedicate some videos to speaking pure Japanese as well.
    4
  8725. Even in my mother tongue I don’t think I could small talk so well 😂 I’m impressed how you are never out of conversation subject !
    4
  8726. Random observation but I'm surprised at how well maintained the rural roads are (cycling heaven). Perhaps my bar is low coming from the UK. Great video as usual the more of the same ... "kudasai!"

  8728. I’m eating vegan Vietnamese food while you are getting your ears clean! Kinda odd yea?! 😅

  8729. Its actually interesting how much variation there is for saying "bye" or "hi" in some languages. In Brazil, we often say "Oi" which means "Hi" but in informal speech we rarely say "Olá" which is slightly more formal and could be translated as "Hello". I myself like to use "Opa, como vai?" that can be understood to "Hey, how are you?" It seems to be a little more polite instead of a simple "Oi". As for when leaving, we almost universally say "Tchau" that is equivalent to a single "Bye". Since my way of speaking Portuguese is more formal, I tend to say "Até mais" which means "See you later". However, since Brazil is huge and there is a vast quantity of regionalism, a lot of slang/informal speech exist troughout the country, which is great in my opinion.

  8737. Learning about the age of the woman around 4:15 reminded me of a similar story I have to tell from Japan. When I was there in 2019 with very little japanese vocabulary, I went to a small town called Kamikawa in Hyogo, north of Himeji and it was off-season really. We sat down in one of the very few places that were open during that time of the year and ate something, while being the only ones there. The owner had a very basic English conversation with us and she was also the one preparing and serving our meal. Shortly before we've finished eating, this older-ish looking woman with an appearance unlike anyone I've ever seen before enters the place and sits opposite of us and starts to talk with the owner. The old lady's English actually was not too bad and we could understand each other fairly well. Still, more than Hi, How are you, Where are you from and weird looks, there was nothing more really. The old lady was very small, had pink hair and laughed about every word we've said with the widest smile I've ever witnessed. In the end and to our shock, she told us she was 93 years old. I don't have any words for this except wow.

  8738. I love that beat you play in the background. Is so suits Japan. Where did you get it?

  8742. YOWZA!!! I've been busy at work and started to catch up on some of your videos and see that you are over 172k subs. YOU are a damn rock star. I ALWAYS knew you were destined for greatness.

  8752. @Oriental Pearl I'm sure you've already found out, but Yankee originated even before the Revolutionary War! :) It was actually a derivative name of the first settlers to New England which were the Dutch from the Netherlands. The name, Jan Kees was a very common surname and used as a generally derisive term by the English toward the Dutch that had settled in the region known as Nieuw Netherlands and the city, New Amsterdam--which later became New York after the English forcefully took it. Jan Kees was anglicized and turned into "Yan-kees" and stuck around to modern day. :D

  8753. Your my new favorite youtuber showing japan and language learning, I love how authentic you are, I hope you never change 💕 and I admire how smart you are for learning multiple languages and being in college in there countries. I look forward to seeing Japan someday and You encourage me to start learning Japanese again
    4
  8754. You are very rare in good way. I have never seen any other foreigners from English speaking countries hanging out with Chinese in Japan. Of course I have never seen that English speaking foreigner youtuber based in Japan collaborated with Chinese either.
    4
  8755. I got so excited right along with Tommy whsn he got to experience so many new things!! 💜I loved your childhood pictures and your home. I was sad he left and you stayed 🥺 I can't wait to see more!!❤

  8756. Cool cool cool, I love how much editing and production you put on your videos, they are shiny
    4
  8757. When I was stationed in Germany, I went out of my way to be able to learn to speak German on a very basic conversational level when I would go into an Italian restaurant there I would end up ordering and talking to then in a mixture of spanish and german since it was rare that they understood any english and my german was not good enough to hold an indepth conversation.
    4
  8758. When I first watched LangJones' video, I thought of you for so many reasons, chief among them that you exposed this trend to me. Seeing you react to this video is a real full-circle moment.

  8760. Thank you Anming, this is a very informative video! I think it highlights the need for people learning Japanese to find and talk with native Japanese speakers, or to get a Japanese tutor who can correct mistakes. I am always impressed with how fluently you speak Japanese (and Chinese)!
    4
  8761. Love seeing ur videos! Thanks for continuing to make them :)

  8762. This is so true. Even my twitter account description says “people are people are people”, cos if you spend decent time anywhere (not on holiday) eventually you find that people are the same everywhere. The difference between you and me is that you learned that at a much younger age than me. The stereotypes that the media and propaganda puts out is immorally misrepresenting our fellow humans. And I LOVED the supermarket with all the little books and separate rooms. It looked clean and well stocked. Watching the video was kinda like watching someone play a first person labyrinth adventure game.

  8763. One of your best yet!!! Have been married to a Filipina for 25 years and am still learning family dynamics. PDA is still a no-no and outward affection is not normal. But I still huge the kids!!!

  8764. Great video. Breaking the matrix again 😂
    4
  8765. Life is not easy for those who are the indigenous elderly in such a metropolis, a lot of outsiders there, elites there, talents over the country there. It's a competitive city, I feel oppressed.
    4
  8766. This was interesting!
    4
  8767. What an enjoyable video! And now I have some great ideas for my own visit to Japan
    4
  8768. They use those sturdy school bags for 6 years. It’s a good investment and ergonomically designed.

  8769. I really loved this video and you all are such good people!!
    4
  8770. Loved your vlog! Can’t wait to go for a hike there🙌

  8771. Sometimes I say that I'm from Anhui too, spent 4 years living there!

  8772. I'd like to ask Katie if she would marry an American or Japanese person.

  8773. Your friend is so respectful and gracious. I love his positivity and sharing your adventures. I’m very impressed with your language skills once AGAIN. I love the little boat ride excursion. The Japanese men were really surprised with your language skill. The seaside 🙆🏻‍♀️🌊🐚 is beautiful. As always love ❤ your ability to switch up with your newfound acquaintances.

  8774. Nice to see everyone pulled their weight in this fun video. You guys having a great time at the eatery was well-deserved. :D

  8775. Tommy's facial expression after shooting priceless.

  8776. Congrats, sound like a manga story tbh XD

  8777. nice mask OP. No one is fooled
    4
  8778. I really enjoyed this video. Japan is highly placed among my favorite locals in the world. James Clavell's Shogun first activated my interest in the country. Then the mini series cemented my belief that I had to visit. I visited most of sites of William Adams life and journeys in Japan, and as a result experienced most of the issues you highlighted in this video. I have driven in many countries but except for the highways in Japan, I'm afraid of many of the town roads, because a two way road isn't wide enough for one vehicle and a bicycle. Thank god for the efficient train/subway/tram system. I look forward to your future adventures.

  8779. Variety is the spice of life.

  8781. I think it’s good to have native languages conversations. The sudden friendliness shown

  8782. Eric Lee 她学的是简体，看繁体字可能会有点吃力

  8783. Man! He gets in a muscle car, runs the streets of 8 Mile, shoots a gun and his woman is from Detroit! Tommy is fast becoming a true American OG!!!!😂
    4
  8784. She's still so skinny after 3 kids. I am envious. I feel like I will turn into a whale once I have one. 😂😂
    4
  8785. The most recent Japanese lesson my wife and I did was about how to ask what something is and ask which one something is so was cool to see them used in your videos and understanding what was being said 😊 Taking it slow and steady but always great to see some progress and understanding! Great video as always!
    4
  8786. I’m new to your channel but watched older ones first cause of algorithm stuff. Anyway, this format with his parents is A1, you should do more cute stuff like this! I’ll tune in to watch every week
    4
  8787. Those flower pedals really look like snow! And speaking of snow, it snowed in michigan last night! At least in my area around Lansing!
    4
  8788. You picked excellent activities for Tommy's visit!
    4
  8789. That was fun to watch and you're pretty athletic with a good throwing arm.
    4
  8790. I love your videos, I want to learn Japanese but I just can’t push myself to sit and learn. Any tips? Also my favorite part is at 9:28 their reaction to you telling them how long you’ve studied Chinese. That’s why I love your content, so genuine with everyone you meet ❤
    4
  8791. wow the creepy comments i dont get it. just a dude trying to talk to girls, whats wrong with that? people do that every day how do you think people meet other people? idk good vid tho no worries
    4
  8792. Interesting how the one gentleman asked if you were Russian. :) You do have kind of Russian or eastern European cheekbones. :) Thank you for so bravely taking us with you on this exploration!
    4
  8793. i've been binge your videos and i caught myself smiling while you interacting with these people, sometimes i feel like i'm the one who interacting with them XD i wish to be as socially as you, thank you for your hardwork!
    4
  8794. you put smiles on so many faces 🥺i just found your channel and i already love it! just subbed
    4
  8795. im a recent viewer to this channel after coming from "xiaomanyc". I have no idea what is going on, as these two channels are primarily my exposure to language learning (there was one more, Dogen, but I havent watched many videos unfortunately). I think its good for this to be spoken sbout without making it a complete calling out/"slandering" video. This was a healthy discussion.
    4
  8796. A lot of Youtubers who live in Japan like to show the stereotypical view, really enjoying these vids.
    4
  8797. Japanese have such a pleasant culture based on respect ❤️
    4
  8798. I love the variety you bring to your videos - part vlog, part travelogue, part language showcase, but entirely interesting!
    4
  8799. I really want to know how u learn japanese??💛💛🌸🌸i love u
    4
  8800. Tbh i am really getting a bit fluent at Chinese by watching these conversations. I kinda started three to four months ago and i can speak quite a lot. But except learning Chinese i do enjoy your videos a lot
    4
  8801. What people see on main stream media is connected to consumerism. Asakusa, Odaiba, Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc. those places have something fun and attractive, however amid the system of capitalism, there are relatively rich and poor. In the context of re-urbanism and tourlism (the gov. self-advertise "cool Japan"), those side of lives are made less obvious on the surface but still, it continues to exist. As a Japanese living in Tokyo, and also having majored in sociology, I deeply appreciate your work.
    4
  8802. Great video! And I fully agree, learning new languages is among the most rewarding things one can do!
    4
  8803. I loved this video! Can't wait to see you expand to Korean. I'm so happy for you and how much your channel has blown up since you first started!
    4
  8804. Love you channel. If I was younger I’d take you up on those lessons! Keep up the great vids!
    4
  8805. This video makes it sound like finnish people don't say anything at all lmao they just communicate with telepathy
    4
  8806. Thanks for promoting and embracing multiple cultures and languages. I have my fair share of fun too when abroad.
    4
  8807. Always fun to watch Pearl. Hard work and circumstances pay off.

  8808. Congratulations hard work pays off in the end!!!❤

  8809. I think most culture is like that...I know both of my parents language and culture..mom is Marshallese and dads Tongan and I tell you what...humble yourself is on my fathers culture..u can’t flatter urself..as if your putting urself down but to other it’s not like that it’s being humble..this is amazing!👌🏼👌🏼
    4
  8810. Thanks!
    4
  8811. Anming - another great video. I just love how you can speak Chinese, Japanese and English so easily. Again, also how you could leave the Mid-West and go East. Did you study Chinese language here in the States before you went overseas? And you have good karma to get your wallet back. It happens - sometimes we forget- not the end of the world, i know it feels like it at the time. :-) And so cool that the merchant wants you to come back to his store. I hope it is close to your house. Be well. Bye for now from Calif. Steve

  8812. Keep plugging away and don't ever get discouraged by what other may say about you. You will never get negative feedback from people who are actually doing something with their own lives.

  8814. Ah your videos premiere at midnight here in 🇦🇺, I’ll have to watch when I wake up! Cannot wait, love your content! Also payday is next week I think i might treat myself with a sakuraco box as I’ve had a tokyotreat before

  8815. YesSiRr! Congratulations on the new apartment.. and all the Best Moving in together... you guys are so funny! You definately suit each other!! Lol! Thankz for sharing...

  8819. Looks like you had a fun Christmas Anming! A happy new year beforehand!

  8820. this is wholesome on a whole other level

  8821. Looks like fun. Thank you for the tour.

  8822. Ooh that cake looks very nice 🍰 She's very chill.
    4
  8823. I really enjoyed the first part of the video with the Japanese-English and English-Japanese words! I was so into it that I forgot that it was just #1 and not the point of the entire video. 😝 If you have enough content to do so, I would love to see a full length episode about it. I think the hairdresser’s amusement really contributed towards making it entertaining, but I bet going over the differences with your other Japanese friends would still be interesting!
    4
  8824. Get more chocolates 😜😜😜😜
    4
  8825. Funny interesting video. Specially the Dog Walker in the park where there are strange looking people. Thank you
    4
  8826. Thanks! for you to get a nice coffee or pop because of your Support for Nomad Push Robin San. I am a devoted fan of yall both now. Much respect Ms Pearl!

  8827. You two are both beautiful and intelligent ladies. Thanks for showing to the world the truth of China.

  8828. All the best in your new place together. Hope you make many happy memories there.
    4
  8829. I've had friends stationed in Japan most where treated great for the most some people don't like foreigners happens in every country and some Japanese don't like our base there great videos the country side is beautiful
    4
  8830. As always a great video. I think John's personality remained very similar thoughout the video. Anming 7 your body stance and vocal tone changed with each language. I was aware that there.were Japanese people who felt that Japan should be for racially Japanese only. There are individuals in every county whom feel that way. I didn't realize that these individuals were sort of organized along a paramilitary style. I didn't know that broadcast on the streets of Japan. I thought they only protested in a group once or twice a year.
    4
  8831. 6:07 It's worth coming out here where it's a little quieter. Meanwhile in the background: CRICKET CIVIL WAR AT FULL THROTTLE

  8832. thats quite a job. I admire the spirit og this guy. thank you
    4
  8833. Fun times Tommy was like a big kid having a blast. However Iiving in the US he'd likely miss Japanese Healthcare and safety. Sorry I didn't mean to get serious/negative. On a happy note You and Tommy are awesome
    4
  8834. This was a great video, I’m so sorry for your friend to have to experience culture barriers. He’s a sweet person and this was a great way to show that you can’t always judge a book by its cover.
    4
  8835. 12.6 thousand subscribers...it was less than 10,000 a few days ago. Oriental Pearl, you are such a kind soul. The world is lucky to have you.....bigger and better things are coming for you.
    4
  8836. Like wow, you’re really impressed me with your trilingual languages.
    4
  8837. Yeah, I’ve seen a couple of viral videos of Japanese girls “making friends” with others to avoid stalkers. Seems like a very caring environment and truly appreciate it!
    4
  8838. It’s amazing how our voice tone changes when we speak diff languages..
    4
  8839. Wow very good video 👍 Haven't seen this side of Japan, but I know it's there.
    4
  8840. "this is an eyeball" lol you're killing me!
    4
  8841. 7:22 Don’t worry as I have seen in the anime Uzagi-Chan Wants To Hang Out isn’t any hentai anime , even it has some pervy jokes.
    4
  8842. I think your videos are so amazing and helpful! One thing I have to say without sounding rude, I think if you get a nice mic it will be a lot better!! Sometimes it is difficult to hear, but keep up the good work!
    4
  8843. Happy Halloween 🎃 I love when I see you have posted a new video❤ and I really enjoyed this one! So awesome to see Halloween in another country.. and everyone's costumes were great looking❤ thank you for endless positive vibes 😊 Stay blessed 🙏✨
    4
  8844. Hearty congratulations to both of you have a great life ahead. God bless you 😇😇
    4
  8845. So heartwarming and wholesome. I could tell everyone enjoyed meeting and getting to know each other. I loved the outing to feed the deer. I’ve never seen anyone get goosed by a deer before. That was cute. Welcome back to the US! Have a safe and fun visit.
    4
  8846. appreciate the sensitivity and intelligence entered in this interview. Love John's exchange with Japanese students. You are born teacher.
    4
  8847. Beautiful video of you girls meeting! I always wondered for Japanese people living with a disability. So much props to Lisa for still going for her dream & not letting her disability bring her down! As a musician myself who gets self cautious on my music abilities this was uplifting to watch!
    4
  8848. I'm sure there are still many Chinese people who love Japan and vice versa! People are generally good <3 Love your channel!
    4
  8849. Nothing replaces being there in the country of the language you want to learn.
    4
  8850. I’m so glad people make more and more videos about real Japan, not this anime kawaii life. It’s my 2nd time watching real tapes from Nishiyama. And I’ve actually learned about this from YouTuber like you, who shows real parts of China, and Japan. I would be afraid to go there by myself to be honest, even thou America is way dangerous than Nishiyama. Thank you for being brave, and showing us real life!
    4
  8851. That was very generous of them to respect your faith in that way.I'm happy for you have a good start and experience with your future in laws.Happy New Year's... I so enjoy your videos.😊
    4
  8852. The people that have such tough lives and yet are super friendly. It's a sad epidemic even here in the U.S. Detroit alone has nearly 7,500 homeless which is actually down 3,000 from a few years before. Numbers are difficult to track but the USA has had estimates of 553,000 to 1.5 million homeless depending on who is doing the counting. It's sad that we are the richest country in the world and we struggle to take care of our own citizens. Great video, very enlightening. Stay safe. ❤
    4
  8853. I'm learning Russian and people are always surprised when they find out I'm learning the language. I'm also trying to learn Mongolian. But I dabble with the latin and romance languages because they're so simple for english speakers. I find them very fun to goof around with, but I'm not really trying to achieve any fluency or anything like that right now with the western European languages.
    4
  8854. the little girl hugging you was so cute
    4
  8855. Thank you for this video! As someone with a disability and a lover of Japan, it is awesome to see a glimpse of real Japanese people and their struggles and wins. Arigatou Gozamaisu!

  8856. It's funny how their mannerisms are also Japanese.

  8857. "日本語上手ですね"

  8858. I swear, the first five seconds, I see Jessica I thought she just came out of an anime. And all it's missing are the sparkles in the eyes.

  8859. I Always Saport You.. keep it up
    4
  8860. You are cute
    4
  8861. Undoubtedly one of the biggest reason I love Japanese culture, is their politeness in day to day life. Like, "thank you for your help", "please take care of me", "thank you for your hard work" are thrown around so much on a daily basis, and also those were said to the people of the same level. I mean, I can understand if it's said to a teacher, or your boss, or something, but to the people of the same level? Who does that anywhere else??
    4
  8862. My wife and I found ourselves at a small izakaya near Aomori a couple of years ago. It was very much a locals’ place and, although everyone was scrupulously polite, we were a bit unexpected. Foreigners were rare visitors. Our Japanese is limited, but as always we made the effort and from that point our experience was the same as your own. Everyone joined us and once our Japanese was exhausted, phones with translator apps did the rest. It turned out that many there were All Black fans (we’re from New Zealand). It had been noted that during the Rugby World Cup the All Blacks made a point of bowing to the home crowd after each game. That helped break the ice even further. A lot of sake was drunk, there was much laughter and we had the best time. I greatly look forward to returning. Thank you Japan.
    4
  8863. I'm actually amaze by people like you guys, who can dedicated their lives to something you passionate about, I'm actually mixed, balinese, dutch, japanese and korean, and grew up in bali indonesia, but i only can speak bahasa, balinese fluently, my english, japanese, korean, dutch are broken haha, even when i have their heritage and blood in me and lived with someone who fluent with those language. So salute to you guys for the dedication 😊
    4
  8864. As always you knocked it out of the park with this video. Not looking the part can obviously effect how locals expect you to interact with them. Many foreigners in any country want local natives to interact with them in their foreign native tongue for their convenience. This channel has shown that with work (the hard part) you can learn second and third languages. Then your able to interact in the local language rather than speaking loudly and slowly in hopes that understanding will magically occur. I've heard traveler's say that they should learn how to speak (insert language here) if they want my tourist dollars. However, these same individuals seem shocked if you ask them why they don't learn the language of the place they're going to. You show what you can do with Chinese, Japanese and I'm sure in Korean soon. I enjoyed this video very much. I'm sure Joshua has a life time experience dealing with one of these does not look like the others despite being at one with the others. Thanks Anming for another jewel. Hope you and your mother enjoy your adventures.
    4
  8865. It's cool! even tho you're all fluent in japanese, you guys use english hahahaha
    4
  8866. So glad to see you back with new videos! Congrats on your master's degree. I am in the process of learning Chinese myself and want to do learning abroad in the future. You've been really inspiring. I'm trying to make sure I watch videos from people who actually speak excellent solid Mandarin. I absolutely hate all the clickbaity views/youtuber language BS. I came across PKU Lila and she seems to have excellent Mandarin, but I obviously can't accurately assess how fluent she actually is since I myself am just a beginner. Is she considered someone who has proper/great Mandarin language skills? Or is she another clickbaity youtuber with poor pronunciation/grammar? I value your opinion and trust you more than others. You tell it how it is and that's something I respect so much.

  8867. 9:28 Your accent is still different from Eminem. Granted, he lived in poverty, still...

  8868. Wow, epic wind in Ireland! Looks like a blast! haha! :D .........[Note to self: Don't plan vacation during whatever country I'm visiting during national vacation time.] I'm really happy for you to be able to stay. :)

  8869. Btw... U ever Tourist to Malaysia..? Over here so many Chinese also like Japanese and Korean live here... Malaysia is Truly Amazing Asia... Thank 4your upload here... Thanks from Malaysia..

  8871. 4:50 "Kind of a shame, I'm doing it at the end" -- seven months later, still there! Life can be pretty weird at times.

  8872. Happy Birthday to your Youtube channel! When I travel I love going away from the tourist traps and seeing what the place really is, so it's great that you show what things are actually like. Super cute Pikachu cake too! :)
    4
  8873. It's funny how I, spending my whole life in America, can see my country as mundane and not that exciting compared to others, and then I see Tommy's reaction to everything and realize that it's actually something pretty special if you've never been here.
    4
  8874. i amazed the way you speak chinese & japanese, very fluent. btw i'm from Indonesia i like watching your videos.
    4
  8875. Very cool and different... I LOVE IT!
    4
  8876. Haha nice. I love your old editing style and it would be nice if you can mesh up some old style in2 your future videos.😄😆Creativity without boundaries. Hahahaha.
    4
  8877. WOW! Fudan university is a top university in China, you must be a pro at subjects!

  8878. You seem very friendly, and your Japanese is pretty great. - from someone learning 日本語
    4
  8879. Your videos are so enjoyable I end up watching them more than one time while I wait for new ones. Thanks for all you do to make it happen. Your efforts are appreciated.
    4
  8880. Speaking with new people can always be a little scary for sure. I most enjoy trying my Japanese at a bar where people gather and chat often with strangers to begin with. Keep up the good work!

  8881. 9:20. Looks really nice outside with umbrella in hands :). Very funny. But sorry u got ghosted. :(
    4
  8882. Congratulations for your wedding, I'm so grateful that you shared your precious moments with us, and showed us how wedding ceremonies are usually held in Japan. In fact, rain in my culture is a sign of good fortune and wealth, that I genuinely wish for you and your partner.

  8885. Once you're done learning korean... Try filipino... Itd be awesome...
    4
  8886. Listening to you speak these two difficult languages is somehow so beautiful and also very motivating! I am German and can only speak english so far, but I started with japanese one year ago. But it´s a struggle to remember all these Kanjis, sometimes it feels as if my head can´t fit more than 100 of them, haha. It´s really a matter of constant repeating and I of course it´s easier to learn if you live in the country and you are surrounded by the language. Anyways, you sounded very fluent and confident in this interview!
    4
  8887. Anming, you showing us the slums in Tokyo is real bad. There are areas in the U S that are bad too. I live in Louisiana and have seen Homeless slums in New Orleans under raised highways. In Lafayette near where I live, there are great amount of homeless. I belong to a religious organization,where we have cooked food to feed the homeless. I feel humbled feeding them. We also had a RED DISTRICT area that has been transformed,cleaned up. Seedy motel torn down and transformed into apartment housing for the lower income with strict rules,regulations. Taken eye sores and replaced with upbeat newer buildings,businesses. One small step in a positive direction. Homeless is world wide,but kept under wraps. They don't want us to see that negativeness.

  8888. What lovely parents! This was an absolute joy to view, thank you for sharing such a personal experience. All the best in the New Year :)
    4
  8889. man you are living the dream. I wish I was you! haha. I just started studying japanese after years of being scared to learn a new language. ill be visiting japan in june. maybe some day I can live there too!
    4
  8890. That's why i love learning foreign languages. People feel more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue
    4
  8891. This was so amazing! I loved seeing the kids get excited haha
    4
  8892. You're so cool! That's awesome. I want to learn chinese. Love your positivity. I will start my Chinese again!

  8893. @4:45 Tommy is a bomb disposal expert approaching a blonde bombshell! :D

  8894. That's how I'm treated as a 3rd generation from Hispanic decent who was raised only speaking English. People can be so rude or ignorant and it can be very annoying. They always ask where are you from then ask no where are your parents from. I would get that from Caucasian Americans and African Americans. Anyone else wouldn't care to ask because they probably get treated the same way too. I also hate the Race vs Ethnicity choices on documents. Idk what Race I am because I'm just tan from Hispanic decent. There's no option for that. It's so dumb.

  8895. There was an exchange student from Finland in my class in high school for a year. Combined with a love of a Finnish metal band I am ok with pronunciation. But it is still too complicated.

  8896. 英語上手ですね😂
    4
  8897. I can't thank you enough for mentioning Pimsleur in a previous video!! Until then I'd been learning Korean with LingoDeer and the TTMIK books. Since downloading Pimsleur I've come on SO much from the audio lessons!! I do each lesson twice and I'm on 26 now. I'm going to keep doing this til I can get a one on one, in-person tutor (kinda hard at the mo!). Watching your videos reminds me to keep going! 👊 Loved this vid as always
    4
  8898. Nice wholesome video. Only thing missing was catching fireflies and confessing to each other after fireworks 😇
    4
  8899. 久しぶりに動画を見ました。楽しかったです。また次回の動画も楽しみにしています。
    4
  8900. I’m learning Danish and Norwegian right now, and I’ve entertained also learning Finnish. This video inspires/worries me 😂😳
    4
  8901. Wow, you meet the coolest people! Thanks for making such high-quality videos and showing us really interesting sides of the countries you visit. Lisa is definitely an inspiration in a country that's so rigid in many ways about conformity. (Not dissing Japan, btw.

  8903. Woow...your house was what we called Banglow...you were so happiness in USA. Your life in other country really different that what u had in USA. NICE to see your lifestyle, you should explore your lifestyle more and more so I can know about you

  8904. I have run into a few of them. Luckily, I googled them before purchasing their products. Just a bunch of common phases. Unorganized and nothing that can lead to fluency.

  8905. I love this.

  8906. Speaking mandarin is already astonishing and speaking Japanese at the same time is incredibly rare😂 ☺️

  8907. As always a great video is assured on this channel. Did I see you say that you and Tommy will be doing a live stream this weekend? I'm sure that will be a 元気 stream, Anming 7. Another event to look forward to.

  8908. When you speak to him in Japanese and he responds in English reminds me of when I speak Vietnamese to another and they respond in English (but then speak Vietnamese to their friend/companion). And I'm not mixed!

  8909. I'd love to go to Japan sometime

  8913. Hey Anming, do you do your own editing? Really impressed! I love your videos and your channel will be a huge success.

  8914. Okay, the Sensei has it figured out. Bye to corporate life! Is it possible to make a respectable living as an artist or artisan in Japan? Of course, we must assume that you must be very good at it.

  8915. yeh i get what you are saying, most polyglots on youtube know maybe enough to order food with mistakes, and chat about introductions, names, day of the week month maybe some money or numbers, basically first year language lvl for anyone studying a language, but that's about their lvl, they can do this with 11 languages, but couldn't buy a house, pay their taxes, or fill in an application for anything, not even a library, and that's why most videos are 60 seconds long, at most they are proficient in 2 or 3 second languages plus their own language, but it is entertaining for the internet :)

  8917. We feel like aliens here in america all the time, when people say to us, wow you're english is so good.. like umm ok, i hope it is as i was born here........ so now you know how it feels like. Being in a totally different country and having people say that to you.

  8919. The Japanese People are so beautiful and have a great respect for many things in life . My dad traveled there for business in the 50s , 60s and told such awesome experiences with his hosts that even I speak about to this day.🙏🇯🇵Kaiju🥰

  8925. Can be a fun sport, archery. Haven't played it in 23 years though. Just curious, have you ever known of cases of people getting injured in this sport?

  8926. It's quite hard to find your loved one even in your own country with familiar culture... with different culture, traditions and religion I think it's near impossible. I'm really happy for you and your fiance! Congratulations on getting engaged! Seeing so many comments and replies to your videos about being Catholic makes me really happy. I believe you know that religion can't be one-sided or on the surface level, or just from respect - from what I've seen it leads towards divorce, mostly because of different moral values, pride and putting God to the last place. It doesn't matter if you both like/dislike different foods or have different hobbies - these things will change a lot with time, so you must have the One that never changes. There is a saying: "The closer we move toward God the closer we move toward each other." I wish you both to overcome all the challenges, find each other in a different light and a Happy New Year!

  8927. If their livelihood is a lie it needs to be called out. Edit: You are the most legit that I have ever seen and originally, I didn't get into language channels but your modesty sold me considering how amazing you are at what you do. Also a thought as far as technicality goes with the natives...I as an American, wouldn't necessarily want to discuss the meaning of life with a foreigner on the street just because they learned how.

  8928. When you join a low fee tour group in China, almost everybody in China knows you will have to pay some extra money beyond the group tour fee, it's just like you go to a restaurant in US, tips is unavoidable - the best way is to go there by yoursel or with a few friends together, and do not go there in tour season.
    4
  8929. Quite amazing to see the journey of your Language learning Journey. I can't even retain the German I took in school/my Grandmother tutored me on when I was 20 years younger. Props! Hope ya'll are doing well!

  8930. Social anxiety is terrified of this woman

  8931. Anming, you are always so friendly and humble with people you encounter. They think highly of you because you are speaking their language with the fluency of a native speaker and it shows your years of study and experience, so naturally it instantly brings for mutual respect between you and the other Chinese or Japanese speaker. Because of these skills & gifts, you are going to have great success in your career of international affairs between China, Japan, and the US. I think that, post-COVID, there will be a greater need for relations to improve and I think you will be a mover and a shaker one day, well beyond your success on YT. You are such an amazing person and I'm honored to be your fan & friend, Anming!!

  8932. @Oriental Peral what part of Japan you in when this virus end I love to meet you I was wearing a masked in Seoul now I’n May I be in Japan have a Twitter or Ig I message you if you don’t mind to collaborate with you 😘🇯🇵🇰🇷

  8933. Love the video(s). Restaurant: Why would they forget you? You are a famous in their world. It blows many, including me how you pick up the languages so easily. You really make the mood with people and bring together. People get curious and make them think what they can do and what other people are like. What a gift! I found it interesting that you found Japanese the most difficult. Chinese always seemed to be a turn off on unlimited Kanji and tone/pronunciation; but honorifics so difficult. Cultural differences still alive at the end .. neon green jacket guy needs to work on conversation openings lool Super professional interaction retort. Love it. Polyglot going to mood make.

  8936. You know what? I've been watching your videos pop up more often in my feed and watched you every once in a while. But I never even thought about subscribing until you mentioned it at the end of the video. No joke. That was all it took for me. You have good content and are not afraid to talk to people. It's fun watching you walk around, find new food, and meet new people. Being able to see a different culture is fun too. ~From: A random American

  8946. Because you’re studying Korean, do you think you will go there anytime soon? I’ve always been fascinated with their culture and think that you could introduce so many others to their ways and lifestyle

  8947. I could almost see the Rickshaw driver at 0:25 thinking "Gaijin". Although to be fair to Anming I wouldn't be 100% sure where to sit :-)

  8948. Oddly when I talk to foreigners speaking English well, I admire their language skills but never complement them on it. I guess it's unexpected in Asian countries to hear an American so fluent as you are.
    4
  8949. as a linguist, i love such vids that encourage people to learn foreign languages

  8950. Yeah, you might not die from taking your mask off for 10 minutes, but if you're infected and don't have symptoms yet you might infect other people who then maybe die. Wearing a mask also protects others from yourself.

  8954. Just stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago, and I’m loving the content. Hoping to get my HSK-4 soon. Studying Chinese outside of China is a bit tricky. Is there any channels or shows you’d recommend in improving ones Chinese ?

  8955. Thank you for this, i have seen very well kept places in japan, in pictures of corse, and i was wondering how the bad side of japan looks like. This is social aspect. Good job on dealing with those creeps!

  8958. As always your videos are all worth watching right to the very end. Do people react when you speak their language, yes some do. If there is surprise it's because they clocked you as an obvious foreigner, and don't expect you to be able to communicate in their language. The more competent you are, and the more natural and expansive your vocabulary is the more likely someone is to be impressed. Life is mostly transactional in any language, and people just want to do their job. If they speak your language, they'll do it to facilitate the transaction. If you can speak their language it is easier when they understand exactly what you want. Learning a language is more than gathering a large number of words and their meanings. You must be able be able put the words into meaningful sentences and comprehend what is being said back to you. That means interactions must occur in the target language until it begins to become more natural in execution. I'm in the I've got a base knowledge of Japanese, now I've got put that knowledge to use with people who live in that language. Will I, and do I make mistakes, yes I do. Do I get lost in conversations when people use words and terms that I'm not familiar with. Yes all the time. Trial and error are a natural part of the process. Do I want to be perfect in my target language, Yes. Am I embarrassed when I get misunderstood or can't understand what I'm being told, sure. However, that also happens occasionally in my native language, and you just work through the issue and forget it. Where Anming 7 stands out is that she can mix and match multiple languages in the flow of a conservation naturally. She makes it look effortless, but she doesn't hide the fact that it took many hours of work and effort to achieve the ability to interact in non native languages to her. That's why her content is superior and her videos make my day better. She models what I hope to be able to do one day, and tells me what I have to do to make that happen. Subscribe and the support this channel and creator if you can. You won't regret it, I consider it an essential part of my language learning journey. The plus is not only is her content inspirational, and educational, it's also highly entertaining as well. She and her content are the complete package.

  8961. I thought the camera has been good (I've been watching your latest videos from a month or two ago, but they weren't cropped like this one). I think the only thing you need is a dedicated mic, most people have it on their collars 😃
    4
  8962. i think its up to debate how u define " speaking " i know basic japanese and as a tourist i would probably pass by with simple interactions but im not " speaking " it in that sense. when i was watching some polys they spoke my german mother lang, even tho they have an accent and arent fluent i understood what they were saying and he could understand and respond to others as well. so credit where credit belongs, respect to learn the basics of so many languages thats an accomplishment by itself but doesnt make you automatically a Polyglot in my eyes
    4
  8963. WOW✨ The emotional pronounciation is totally mindblowing.
    4
  8964. Hey Anming! I'm a French Canadian trying to learn Mandarin. I had a class on Sunday and we used your video in the class. My teacher said your Mandarin is pretty much at the level of a native speaker! I knew your Mandarin was awesome but I didn't expect a native speaker say you sound native!!!
    4
  8965. Because of my interest in Japanese history I ended up in a lot of rural area's in, Japan and I found that when I looked at maps to work out my route of seeing the area. Someone would come up and ask in what they thought was bad English, if they could help. What they considered bad English was usually much better then my poor Japanese, but we were able to have very basic conversations. I found most Japanese friendly and helpful. That is why I want to improve my poor Japanese to a conversational level, so that I could really communicate, and hold real conversations with native Japanese. Of course, part of my language journey was checking YouTube video's which led me to finding your channel. You confirmed my awakening realization that I wasn't putting enough effort in my studies to make a real improvement. Then, I found there was so much more to your channel then just kicking my butt to put proper effort into learning Japanese. I learned about aspects of Japanese culture and locals that were not on the regular tourist tours of Japanese sites. I still consider my Japanese poor but it's improved markedly from what it was when I found your channel, but my goal is to spend three to four months studying the language and living in Japan once it reopens to Canadians. It is your interactions and travels that continue to inspire and educate. So I'm a subscriber for as long as you're a content producer.

  8966. I studied English when I was at university but for reasons of my work I stopped practicing it and there are many things that I have forgotten. Now with your advices I have decided to study a master's degree in English to perfect it and speak it perfectly.

  8968. Wow thank you for that pep talk about not being afraid of making mistakes!! I am currently learning Spanish and am always sooooo scared to talk because I have this unrealistic standard i set for myself that i need to speak perfectly. In reality, i'm still a beginner! Youre right, the people who are the best at learning languages are the ones who arent afraid to make mistakes. Love your videos :)

  8975. You hit on some really great points. ❤The first one that stood out to me was when you talked about speaking up against these "gurus". It brings so much hate upon you and your channel and sometimes changes nothing that the audience believes. Humans like to believe what they believe and if anyone questions that, they get upset. 😒It's like a shoot the messenger type of situation..even if it is truth. The other thing you said hit close to home. The part about making people believe you can learn languages overnight or easily, and then when they can't or don't, they feel defeated and get down on themselves.😔 Reminds me of reality TV shows like The Biggest Loser who made you believe people were losing 11 lbs a week when it wasn't true..and instead of the show being encouraging, it was having the opposite effect and people were getting down on themselves for not being as good..or doing as well. It's the same with the languages. Very good video💜 Someone had to say it.

  8980. I feel that in China and Japan there are stares. Korea ...I'm not sure. seems like there's not as much staring. At least not as much when it gets to the level of obvious. I think it's a human thing. Whenever we humans notice any slight differences in anything such as personal and physical appearances, we just gawk. I think people in rural towns in the US do as much staring as anywhere else if the people there were to come across an Asian or a black person. I know from experience.

  8981. damn, that japanese accent is nice

  8982. How about we can speak a little bit a japanese? Can we still be understood by them?

  8983. You are absolutly amazing being able to switch from one to another. Im very fascinated by language. I know Russian and German and a bit of Spanish. It would be awesome to know japanese or chinese

  8985. My life is pretty gloomy right now and watching your videos make me happy, even if it’s just for 10 minutes :)
    4
  8986. I think it comes down to intentions. A more positive intention to learn a language is wanting to genuninely connect with others. But if your intention is to impress people, get validation and boost your ego, then that's not a positive intention in my books.
    4
  8987. I subscribed twice! I don’t know how, but your channel – and four others – had dropped from my subscriptions. I assumed you’d stopped posting. But now I’m back!

  8988. How did you end up on the back of a motorcycle and who were you with? Are you going to ride out on adventure tours and make videos of those trips?
    4
  8989. I feel you, Anming. Just like you, I have a base in Chinese (Mandarin) when I started Japanese (self learning) last year. At least 50 hours workweek, the mind is already tired to stay motivated to study after dinner; hours of isolating myself having to decline all the fun social activities. Saluted your discipline to master two extremely difficult languages.

  8990. Congrats to you both. Love to see you’re living your happiness

  8991. What a cool video and concept. You definitely encountered some interesting people on your bike ride. The man wanting to fix everything for you seems nice lol 🚲😎😀☀️

  8994. This was just the motivation I needed today! After spending 8 months learning Greek I'm finding myself spending less time every day learning and that initial excitement has gone and frustration has overtaken at how slow it's going.

  8998. HEY! thank you for your bravery going up to strangers!!!! i was looking for this kind of foreign-foreign contact with no common language! You are doing a great service to humanity and your videos could be up for years! centuries? millennia? Will you be one of the internet's "Spoken Ancients"?
    4
  8999. Hey Anming, just wanna say you're incredible, I found out your channel a couple days ago and I'm obsessed with your videos already. I love learning languages as well, I'm almost fluent in english, and Japanese is one of my target language, which I started learning in the age of 12 I guess, but then stopped 😔. Hope to be able to speak Japanese/Chinese one day too, just like you. Congrats! ❤

  9000. Anming I'm so proud of you and glad seeing you're happy with what you have achieved! Just please please and please find a way to keep up with your Mandarin because I don't want you to forget the language! I'm sure you don't get to use Chinese at all living in Japan but do find a way to keep up :D Keep up the good work polyglot! PS：希望你有空可以回台灣看看和玩玩~~

  9001. Its extremists who have nothing better to do than make up garbage and then give it a name like 'appropriation'. There is a difference of liking another culture and adapting versus someone making fun of another culture.

  9002. That honestly was the cutest moment. Encouraging the Chinese woman who has been living in Japan for the same amount of time you lived in China to learn a little. Get out and mingle lady, you called her out politely. Woops X 2 Didn't know that was going to happen again!

  9007. Thanks Alyssa and the team for producing this inside video!

  9008. Great video! I think it's fantastic that you both appreciate Japanese culture, language, and customs to the extent you do. My issue though is the desire to change Japan's culture to suit Western sensibilities (e.g. this cultural practice is outdated, or I can't wait to get citizenship so I can vote), as it's the nose under the tent. Japan is so interesting and unique due to their isolation and insular cultural practices, not in spite of it. It would be lovely to preserve all the beautiful varieties in the world instead of preferring the cultural homogeneity that has swept through the West (mostly the US) that starts with wanting to change a people in small ways, then ultimately larger ways. Perhaps the Japanese cannot imagine such an occurrence considering their current cultural and ethnic hegemony within Japan, but they are being targeted just as those in the West have been for decades. I love people that are proud of and work to protect their heritage while they still have it. I hope Japan continues to do so.

  9014. It is very true. Chances are that the native speaker will understand what you’re saying even if you make some grammar mistakes or uses a phrase incorrectly, and i doubt that they will point it out. I am a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese and some of those “polyglots” made me doubt my skills in my mother tongue. It sounds like they are just reading out whatever they typed into Google Translate and hoped that it was correct. It’s like someone coming up to you and talk to you like this:” hello, I need go and eating lunch, you know where place are?”

  9015. I HAVE TIME THE THING I DONT HAVE IS MONEY IM AN AMERICAN 15 YO GIRL WHO LEARNED SPANISH GERMAN FRENCH RUSSIAN AND IM COMING FOR JAPANESE

  9026. I'm here for both!!
    4
  9027. Please continue doing so! Always remember: People stay where they feel 'at home' so to speak. For example I came to your channel because of - obviously - Japan and the language part of it. But I stayed for the content around YOU and your experiences in this beautiful country! It's great to have someone you can relate to and therefore the interest switched from languages & Japan to YOU and YOUR experience in this country! It's both entertaining and educating to watch and this special mix is exactly what defines YOUR channel. Long story short: Just keep doing what you're doing! All the best from Germany =)

  9032. Very 懐かしい。First time I came to Japan 15 years ago, I landed in Nishinari not knowing it was a slum area at the time until many years later! Miss the cheap food and accommodation.

  9040. After my first tour to Japan on 2015, I fell in love with the people, the culture, the cuisine, the land. Been back for two month long tours since and I've really enjoyed learning from the expat community on YouTube over the years. Been following your videos for a long time, but never realized you're a fellow Michigander! How wonderful to see you two enjoy family time over Thanksgiving and explore Detroit and Frankenmuth together. It put a big smile on my face to see Tommy wolfing down a coney in a U of M hoodie and washing it down with a Vernor's. Doesn't get much more Michigan than that!

  9041. Unbelievable video. Amazing content. What a way to start my weekend... Dan D.
    4
  9042. Stay strong.. we’re all going through this together! 😢 Korean instant ramen is my fave!
    4
  9043. The thing I see is there are lots of videos where people are promoting the notion that you can become fluent in a foreign language in 1 or 2 months if you take their course. It's ridiculous! I like that you say you have been studying Japanese and Chinese for many years. It's a more realistic representation of the time needed to learn a new language. I really like your videos. Good luck going forward and congratulations on your somewhat recent wedding. KB
    4
  9044. This is so cool! I actually understood a few words of your Chinese as spoken simultaneously with the subtitles - but I realized that my mind was actually just validating the subtitles!
    4
  9045. I don't like to wait in the lines either. You scored! Plus you had good company to share the moment with🙂
    4
  9046. "U.S. Girls" in the thumbnail, I see what you did there 😁 lovely video thanks so much!

  9047. dope collab, keep up the fun content!🔥

  9048. **YOURE SO FUNNY ENDING??*😃😂😂😂😅
    4
  9049. They seem very nice and seemed to enjoy spending time with you both for New Years. Will your wedding ceremony be conducted in English, Japanese, or both?
    4
  9050. This kind of videos are interesting because they provide double content. First a walk through Yokohama chinatown where i have been myself before and then the surprise of the people noticing your chinese. They open up at the same time feel a little bit flustered while talking to you non chinese blond woman. I always enjoy.

  9051. You are such an inspiration.I am young but I am learning another language.Thank you for helping me through
    4
  9052. You’re amazing and beautiful 😍
    4
  9053. wow!!! You are a treasure to all people. A true inspiration. Don't be afraid of what others may think. There are so many haters out there. You're better than an of that. I feel so lucky to have found you and your channel. My wife and kids adore you.

  9054. I can relate to the junk food snacks instead of a meal lol! also I love the skirt and mustard color of it, it’s so cute!

  9055. Welcome to the internet , where trolls exist . Dislikes are to be expected unfortunately
    4
  9056. What a great collaboration. Really uplifting video, has Royce got his channel up?
    4
  9057. I feel like in Japanese you're very hesitant but your confidence comes out in your Chinese. There's a notable shift. It's cool to watch. The banter seems a lot easier in Chinese too.
    4
  9058. Love the cutting style! The change between the riding in the carriage and the actual interview is amazing. Keep things up

  9059. congratulations for the 1 year channel!!! love the ladys reaction!!!

  9060. Love watching your videos! Huge Congratulations on 1 Million subs!! Awesomeness!!🤩🤩🥳🥳
    4
  9061. I am so happy about your being able to stay in Japan In the US stores still limit how much you can get. There are shortages. A majority of people are not wearing masks anymore and ridicule you if you do. They are not following social distancing. I am concerned the virus will resurge because of this. The people have been of 2 minds 1) It's just like the flu 2) It's worse than we are being told. As many children are now showing very deadly, new symptoms ... I tend to believe the latter. Stay safe. We adore you

  9062. He’s American already drinking Labatt Blue lol
    4
  9063. Thank you for making this video. I started off uncertain of whether I was interested, but I'm glad I watched it all because it opened my mind to a different perspective. There was something relatable about seeing a family who looks like me being treated as foreigners in their country.....and to an extent, as foreigners in the country they are expected to be native.
    4
  9064. This is amazing... I wish I could do the same as you: speaking Chinese, Japanese and English fluently. Best luck!
    4
  9065. Japanese people are literally nice and open-minded when being approached and talked to.
    4
  9066. I can't believe the coincidence, but when I worked in Japan my co-worker and a good friend was a Tamil from Sri Lanka as well. I greet you Vithi! 😄

  9067. I have been listening to the two somgs they have on Spotify! I hope they release more as I quite enjoy them!

  9077. Just 2 things to comment on, 1st, I agree with EVERYTHING Matt said. And secondly.....YOU are definitely not fake, your hard work shows through in every stream. Thankyou "Anming".

  9078. Anming, I loved your friend, Katie! She is so adorable and pretty! I also loved seeing her dance moves at the beginning of the video.

  9079. Heya! I lived in Japan in 2019 for the entire year, my Japanese isn’t quite as good as yours, I went to a school in Takadanobaba, I lived in Shinjuku-Ku and I have to admit It’s nice to see you had similar experience to me, I’m from the U.K. and it’s very obvious to tell I’m not from Asia, so whenever I spoke ‘fluent’ ( I’m not fluent but sometimes I sounded it if I was lucky enough. x) ) they would be blown away. I used to enter pubs in local area’s and talk to the locals, it was great to better understand how Japanese people lived day to day. I’ve been really enjoying your videos and they’re making me miss living in Japan. Keep up the videos! And if you ever have like an online session of talking to people with like an AMA or something, I’d gladly come by and attempt to use my conversational level of Japanese to ask you some questions ^-^ I do occasionally refresh my Japanese でも 日本語はちょっと難しいですね-
    4
  9080. learned Japanese from anime and dramas , then started translating events and started to get the grasp of real speech ( since anime speech is rather different /not usuable irl ) ( minus ghibli movies which are in terms of language the most normal everyday like out of the anime category ) i would advise people to go on vrchat , mostly when people fluent in the language you want to learn gather , and just talk to them their interactions with you will expand your vocabulary
    4
  9081. Really good collab! Great content, pace and editing.
    4
  9082. I am proud of you. I don’t know you but I admire you!! Learning new languages is amazing!
    4
  9083. Yea congratulations I'm so happy for you!! I know it's a tiny luxury apartment but my definition of luxury has a little bit more space. Definitely when I'm eating at a table I don't have to eat up against a fridge😂
    4
  9084. This looked like so much fun, and the food looked wonderful! Which is great, because you're meeting the in-laws, which is always stressful!
    4
  9085. I am so very impressed with your abilities speaking Chinese and Japanese fluently. Thank you for sharing your journey and you bring me a lot of memories I had when I was stationed in Japan with the U.S. Air Force (Yokota Air Base) -- U.S. Forces Japan.
    4
  9086. All those interactions looked like so much fun! Quick question, how do they handle tall people in Japan? I'm 6ft10, so I imagine it'd be plenty of stares 😅
    4
  9087. God, thanks for this video. I speak 3 languages but my 2nd and 3rd language are only at the upper intermediate or lower advanced level. I can understand another handful of languages at a low level. I have seen so many videos where it is painfully obvious the person doesn't know even what you would learn in a single semester at university.
    4
  9088. You guys are so cute ❤

  9089. Keep pushing through, you seem resilient. Glad everything fell into place. 💜

  9104. I wish I had done this when I was young and had focused on my love of languages. At that time I wanted to be a French major. Now I am 70 and trying to learn about 4 languages, but slowly. You have done really done well. Live the dream life now and then settle down.
    4
  9105. Funny enough, after watching your previous video, I was met with a new opportunity to speak my target language with someone. That's pretty rare in this small town. It's like the energy your video gave me summoned this new friendship. I challenged myself to speak to them, and now I have a new language partner :)

  9110. - I stayed in a share house in East London for 2 weeks until I could move into a place I sign a lease for. Unfortunately share house had bed bugs and I brought them with me 😢. - In a hostel in Ireland I got accused on stealing a girls phone. Even though it had nothing to do with me! - My mate walked in on a girl having a shower in a hostel in Barcelona! 😁
    4
  9111. It was fun to see your studies and visit to Korea, An Min. Though, I have to ask, was one of the male performers at the cultural village break dancing? Cuz it really looked like it. Also, I've been teetering on studying Old English, and been a bit shy about committing to it. After seeing how dedicated you are to Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, I'm encouraged to just go for it. Thank you so much for sharing our adventures.
    4
  9112. It's people like you that have motivated me to start studying mandarin. I got a good amount of Japanese under my belt, now I wanna tackle another one. After I get a good foothold in mandarin I want to learn cantonese and korean.

  9126. Your videos are so inspirational for me to keep persistent with my Japanese learning. The way peoples attitudes change as soon as you speak there native language is amazing. Great videos. Cheers.

  9139. Anming 7 and Tommy, your new apartment looks great. That two story layout is unique, and makes it look even larger than it really is. Congrats on the 1 million subscribers. A lot of effort and hard work went into it. Can't wait to see where you take it from here.
    4
  9140. Is it just my imagination or Japanese are becoming taller?
    4
  9141. Hi Anming! With your relationship with Toby, who pursued who first? I ask because Japanese men have the reputation of being shy when it comes to women. Many AMWF relationships were initiated by the women. Just curious! BTW...this vlog was beautifully made. You have great editing skills. Take care!
    4
  9142. Thanks so much for sharing all of these wonderful stories!!!! The scene where the boat ' driver ' is singing that beautiful song really got me! :) So lovely

  9151. As a Swede, it's easy to pick up the Finnish tone from anyone from Finland in the voice if they talk Swedish, I can hear a bit of Finnish still, but other than that, it's perfect.
    4
  9152. When ever I see you going to these Supermarkets it is always very entertaining and I think, this poor girl is doing this because she knows we all love it so much . This one was particularly good because the man in the store was just as impressed if not more than we are when you switch so effortlessly between Chinese and Japanese, and he truly seemed amazed by your Chinese Mandarin being Chinese himself . Once again Thank you for your sacrifice it can't be easy but you make it look like nothing. Respect Pearl , wishing you continued good health and mental strength and happiness.

  9153. Have an awesome holiday season and a great New Year! Thanks for your amazing content - has often cheered me up during quarantine and motivated me to continue studying Japanese. ( ◠‿◠ ) 頑張って！🎇

  9156. I also got really worn out by japanese having big reactions to me speaking Japnese, it insired me to study chinese and travel there. I really regret my time being upset therebecause i was really having such a great time and its a wonderful place. try not to get hung up on those things. I enjoy your videos and refreshing my chinese

  9157. Omfg i really love those kids!!😀😄😄Holy Sh- 🇯🇵Japan is has really nice people...✨💕:D

  9158. I love your videos. I have been following you for almost a year now and I have to say, aside from being interesting and educational, you are one of the most charming people I have seen and follow. Keep us educated and interested in other cultures. You are doing a great job.

  9162. We’re friends! We talk on Instagram sometimes! Hahah ☺️
    4
  9163. During that first conversation, I stopped looking at the subtitles and just listened to you all talk, I didn't know what you were saying, I just enjoyed listening to the sounds of the language and it sounds so rich and interesting. Currently I am learning my wife's language of Finnish 🇫🇮 and I am beginning to dip my toe into learning Japanese, but I am now thinking that maybe Mandarin could be a language to start with, and then move onto Japanese. You said in a recent video that for English speakers which I am, I'm from the UK, that a simpler route into Japanese is through Mandarin. I am going to give it some thought, and in the meantime I will carry on with some basic learning of Japanese 😀

  9164. Funny you used the word arrogant, that is exactly what I feel about a lot of those other foreigners in Asia videos.
    4
  9165. You are so beautiful 😍
    4
  9166. Maybe you should have worn your yellow Black Mamba Halloween costume instead of the Hakama - it may have helped you focus with the archery. Even if it didn't, it might have intimidated some of the other archers. Lol 😎

  9167. England is exactly the same if you want to see the real English people and countryside stay well away from the capital city London.

  9168. Those were some beautiful Temples Anming 🦊
    4
  9169. I asked a German friend who spoke Spanish, Portuguese and English, low long it would take to learn Spanish. He said the main factor is how much you put yourself out there and speak to other people. Basically, if you don’t try, make mistakes, then try again, you won’t learn
    4
  9170. Your journey of a thousand miles has began with one step. Mind if we tag along...looking forward to it.
    4
  9171. I'm kinda obsessed with your videos recently lol I've been binge watching pretty much all your videos. There have been a couple of languages I've wanted to learn for the longest time, but I've always put them off cause I'd get discouraged. But your videos are definitely inspiring me to be persistent and confident.
    4
  9172. Ah Lisa is so cute. This shows that it doesn't matter how you look. Great video Anming

  9173. It's a little strange to see a discussion about a town with 20% immigration when I live in New Zealand where the entire population is 30% foreign born. You see and hear so many languages every day just walking about. In the 90s and 00s there was a big immigration of Chinese to New Zealand, More recently there's been a big influx of Filipino and Indian migrants, so that about 15% of New Zealand's population is Asian, making them the third largest ethnicity behind those of European descent and Māori.

  9174. Congratulations!! I wish you many years of joy and happiness

  9175. Y'all look badass as some Japanese warriors

  9176. The eye contact thing suprised me when i discussed with a German for the first time. Where I am from prolonged eye contact during a discussion isnt really necessary. It just feels creepy after a few seconds. I've been living here for a few years now and am getting used to it, but it still feels a little uncomfortable. Good to know it's not just a german thing
    4
  9177. I’m from MI as well, but haven’t been there in a couple years. This was so lovely to watch! So many quintessential MI experiences 💙

  9182. In high-school I wanted to learn Japanese but I gave up lol. I might try again thanks to you. Btw That place was beautiful 😍 I want to visit a place like that and see the snow ❄. I've never seen snow before heh 🤷🏾‍♀️ Edit: Congratulations 🎊 👏🏾 💐 On getting engaged 💍. I'm new to your channel 😀 so this is big news to me. Bless you both and your future marriage.

  9186. As always, your video's are always enjoyable to watch, especially the people's reaction when you speak something other than English! It is also very enjoyable to see you going to the different parts of Japan. Keep up the great work you are doing!!

  9187. Congrats Pearl! Always enjoy your content!🙌🏻💕

  9188. I get scams too. I think eventually we all do. The most common type for me is claiming my videos are awesome, going under the channel name for example of 'TIM' and claiming they can increase the viewing audience! My channel is just 'OK' not awesome. Just alert the YouTube REPORT option. They have other names they use and are similar to ROBO calls. I even had complete videos copied off my channel and getting more hits than me. Criminals are everywhere, not just YouTube. The YouTube world is as crazy as the real one, we just have to learn to be aware and learn to ignore them.

  9189. After all this time, I am still stunned !!!!! It always seems so easy for you but in reality it is so difficult to learn properly. So let's follow your suggestions. BTW you can notice people are so proud and happy you speak their language. A kind of acknowledgement for culture is so important !

  9190. This is so true. As a European I speak Hindi fluently and hardly anyone in India finds that strange. Someone who only speaks a few words is looked at strangely. Namaste = wow!

  9191. I would be as amazed as all of them if a foreigner would speak my language with that speed and accent... their reactions are so heart warming indeed. As for your accent in both JP and CN: awesome - congrats.

  9194. Firstly, I'm so proud your cousin can speak mandarin well. Secondly, I saw you become emcee in China, and have to introduce yourself by asking for,the face so shock..haha. 3rdly,I long time didn't saw cactus since last saw in National Geographic when I'm still young. Finally you did well in Violin too, nice to see your YouTube...very fun and funny. But hopefully you can put some special words subtitle ...make more clear....may be tire for typing.Hope to see your more coming video...Anming

  9197. Everytime I do research on Japan (so I can full-fill my future life residing there), I keep seeing "Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners" type of videos, but when I watch your videos, they seem to absolutely LOVE you! Is just the way foreigners act in Japan or do they actually hate foreigners; because I've been studying Japan for awhile now just to make sure I know their culture and don't mess up anything in my future because I want to make sure I respect them for welcoming me to their country. ---ありがとうございました！

  9198. 0:53 completely understandable. I GET CRAZY AROUND FISHES TOO.

  9199. Honestly, I am learning Japanese and watching polyglots making interesting videos keep me inspired to keep learning more. It is comforting to see that someone else has gotten to level you are moving towards. PS: Just my toughts on this video: Adressing other's unhappiness becomes important only when the public gives importance to it, but I hope you don't give them haters importance and keep making nice videos :) Zayonara !

  9201. This is great! I’ve been following you for quite some time and you really are an inspiration and encouraged me to learn more languages and become a language teacher ! Thanks to you I’m studying mandarin chinese and japanese and really want to get to korean and vietnamese as well 🤗 keep up the good work and the great videos 🎉

  9202. Wow Halloween is so well celebrated in Japan with so many ppl in costumes/cosplay/outfits. And great Kill Bill outfit.

  9203. wow, two of the most difficult languages out there - respect!

  9204. How was the tip accepted, as it is not customary to tip? Normally it looks pretty relaxing, I found out about it several months ago, when 十四代目トイレの花子さん had it done. She was pretty giggly about it, too.

  9205. Very fantastic.

  9206. I really enjoy your videos during this pandemic time. I have been Japan few times. It is a beautiful country and a great place to visit. I hope you can back to China soon .thks!

  9207. Please more on this. To remember us that dreams has no boundaries..

  9208. "You're so freaking japanese" lmao. Love it!

  9209. I've been watching your videos for a few days now. Really makes me want to visit Japan. I actually started learning Japanese like a week ago :D Definitely gonna do it once travel becomes safer again. It's so great to see all these impressions, and really motivating! =)

  9210. I plan on going to Japan in the future so I am learning Japanese at the moment to get prepared 🤩👍🏻

  9211. 50K!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU Anming! As someone that spent most of their life living in NYC, i am totally numb to crowds! haha I have to ask, has your metabolism always been so amazing? You seemingly eat anything! LOL man, 5 hours of travel and he does THAT to you? that is F'D UP! Sounds like "friend" wasnt enough for that guy. i really enjoy Farmers Markets! Well done and congrats again on 50K (half way to your YT Button!)

  9212. Scared to do this ? Me : Hi Strangers : [ what this boy want ] [ Why he looks like that ] [ Who is he ] [ He He He ] Me : Understand that I am s*** for not having anything but still want to have some friends

  9213. Thanks for brightening my day!

  9214. From '70-'72 I was with the U. S. Army at Naha. Left just as the island was being handed over to the Japanese.. From the little I saw from your photos it sure has changed from a sleepy island to some thing else. The mainland Japanese considered the Okinawans as backward farmers. From the Okinawans I worked with they were not thrilled to have the Japanese take control.
    3
  9215. I glad you did another video here, last year's (Kill Bill right?) was so much fun! You and your mother had great costumes, and it was really cool to see all sorts of other characters!
    3
  9216. Ok. I’ll learn Japanese... but I will never jump out of a plane ✈️😬🤭. EVER!!! 🤣.

  9217. Damn this makes me miss Japan so much
    3
  9218. Great video! I get these comments a tiny bit too, in a very small way, because of my interest in Asian culture and and because I'm prepared to identify and talk about Australia's weaknesses. But, when I was living in the US, Australians never assumed that my residence there implied that I hated Australia, but they did assume that I was a yanky-phile (which is not true). These problems of perception are why the US should be encouraging their kids to travel OS, do a working-holiday gap year, study abroad.

  9224. Hi! I like these videos that you make especially speaking with people. You are 😎! Pretty too ☺️

  9225. I am not Youtuber like you. But I use to live four years in Singapore. All of my roommate are coming from China. They don't speak English. They can speak only a little bit of English. I speak a little bit of Chinese. Now I can speak a lot. I am confident to speak Chinese now. I learnt Japanese for one year and stopped learning it. I hope one day I can speak Japanese also. Your life are amazing. By the way you look like missing your home so much. Thanks for your wonderful video.

  9226. second summer just broke and its looking like actual fall weather is happening in MI :D . . . have a good one!

  9228. Just say: thank you when someone compliments your japanese!😂😂

  9229. You'd think Japan would be one of the better places to be a fat man. Seeing as you could just say your an aspiring Sumo wrestler.
    3
  9230. A foreigner in any country will never truly fit in. So as this wise man has shown us, just take what makes you different and run with it. In Japan, they expect you to be different. You have more freedom as a foreigner to express yourself than any Japanese person can.
    3
  9231. US : "She is Traitor!" China : "She is Spy!" Damn, politics is really destroy human nowadays

  9232. Hi Pearl, just to let you know - I'm a recent subscriber and I must say I am currently binging all of your videos, so do keep them coming!! I'm studying Japanese at university and am supposed to come for a year this fall, which I am really worried about but still, hoping for the best... Anyways, hearing authentic Japanese being spoken and seeing your interactions with the locals (both Chinese and Japanese) is simply amazing, I enjoy your videos a lot!
    3
  9233. I noticed in YouTube videos the polyglot conversation with others in the public are very basic and short. So I see it as they’ve learned a few sentences only.❤️
    3
  9234. I am still amazed at your ability to master both Japanese and Chinese , cause they are both very different language!! And why are you able to spot a Chinese amongst the Japanese crowd!? 真 厉 害 Cheers! You are getting more viewers, congrats!

  9235. めっちゃいい動画から、頑張れください。

  9236. It's funny that sport you guys are playing I have seen that in an anime It's pretty interesting to see reality in this video.

  9238. 会多国语言，厉害！

  9239. If someone speaks a few sentences in a foreign language, people will say "He is fluent". Like... People are so clueless!

  9240. Take your time, vloging is not easy as well as balancing your real life! I am happy to wait and I am sure most of your other subscribers are too! I appreciate your videos and look forward to them :)

  9241. Hi Anming. Super congrats on your Masters. I'm very proud of you!!!!!!!! Blessings to you and your future. 😘😊😎👍🏻✌🏻
    3
  9242. You provide inspiration for many language learners. As for me, I dabbled only in Indo-European languages. My tries as foreign languages are (yeah, I know, one is classical): French, German, Latin, English, Italian and Armenian. And I can have fluent dialogues only in Romanian (native language) , French, English and Italian. And I understand a bit of Spanish, which I never tried to learn…
    3
  9243. My French is terrible but here's a super rough translation: 1:36 "Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Royce, and um... So, to study languages, there is a rather simple method. [?*] You must learn a certain number of words in order to master speech. Even if Korean and Japanese have tens of thousands of words, you learn, and you're fluent. It's perfect." *I didn't get this part at 1:46, s'il y a des francophones ici, s'il vous plaît dites-moi qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, merci !

  9244. 1:17 did you say "scared the baby" for the slang?

  9249. I love videos of Americans speaking foreign languages fluently. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to more.

  9250. Once again sending loads of Positivity your way.. another great video, also awesome to see some Korean in there too!!

  9251. Entertaining as always. Your doing just great. Thankyou for another stream😘

  9252. The scenery looked so beautiful. I love both styles of content!! So I'm happy either way 😊

  9253. Where is Eminem's house😀

  9254. I never like Japanese foods (a bit strange in my opinion) even though I was from South East Asia. Love Chinese foods though. So you have made a great effort in trying out new food in Japan.
    3
  9255. happy you told your story but i think there may be much more to tell
    3
  9256. Congrats on 1m! 🎉 I’ve been subscribed for a long time and very happy to see the progress. Would love to see some izakaya interactions and maybe you can film some food comparisons (ie trying different types of sushi and other Japanese foods in USA and then cutting to Japan and trying their equivalent and seeing if they hold up). I mean next time you’re back of course, not immediately, that’s one expensive video 😂 Keep it up and all the best from New Zealand!
    3
  9257. I hear hesitation words like "anou" and "eeto" a lot too. Also if you're a good listener I think back-channeling would come pretty easy.
    3
  9258. Thank-you for the early morning entertainment with that infectious laugh and enjoyable content. Your motivational pep talk should inspire people to get out and practice, perhaps you might want to tell your viewers to state that they are trying to learn a foreign language when they broach a conversation with other people. Waiting to see if you put out a second part of this as you had alluded you have enough footage for a second video. Have a great day, and wash your hands.

  9261. An elderly lady once spoke to me (an obviously American foreigner) at a crosswalk, but my Japanese is not good and I couldn’t understand what she said. I felt bad but nodded my head and as we parted ways I thanked her in Japanese. Bless her.

  9262. Sometimes when I say "Hello, I need a bag" in a supermarket, they tell me that my Chinese is very good))

  9263. Polyglot channels are for entertaining purpose atleast in my case and for my person and to me. I don't really take them seriously even tho there's some ppl who are killing with languages, so ye.

  9264. You have seriously made my life the past month. Even before this worldly issue you have lighten my day! keep up the good work and stay safe :) don't know you but I feel I do ;)

  9271. Great video. It's people like Lisa that make Japan fun... Being different. As for the Aussie girl, lucky her for being in Japan. Aussies are not allowed to travel overseas at the moment for holidays (unless you have some exemption-obviously she could of come from another country into Japan as well), so good on her for traveling at the moment.
    3
  9272. I love this series of interviews with non-Japanese living in Japan. More, please!

  9274. Looking forward for that China trip video

  9275. This was well put together. Textbook structurally. Did you do any journalism in college? You do have a career as an investigative journalist, although I wouldn't imagine that your efforts will be as well received by the Japanese authorities or what passes for their Chamber of Commerce. You should have told the old lecher that this wasn't your corner. LOL!
    3
  9276. I love how happy people look when you speak their language, it inspires me to learn more! I've had a few encounters like that with French, it's so nice. My Japanese friends have been helping me with my Japanese, and they've been so kind and supportive. I'm teaching a bit of ASL in return (a lot of my friends have been asking about it, and while I'm not fluent, it's nice to be able to teach them sign and some Deaf culture)! :)

  9277. I enjoyed that so much I watched it twice.

  9278. These are the moments that stand out. They may be bizarre but they are fun and you remember them always.

  9279. You were very good at handling that man at the end. Otherwise, everyone else was lovely.

  9280. I’ve been learning chinese since 2018. Watch your videos just encouraged me going on. I hope one day I could speak as good as you do. Bests regards from Brazil!!!

  9289. It was so sweet of them to allow you to film this in their home. What a wonderful family! It was also so considerate of them to take you to church! That was so amazing. It looks like you all had a wonderful time! I love how Dad lit up when you talked about the YouTube guy, and how Mom was like, "Oh. We've got embarrassing photos. Don't you worry." xD I smiled through this whole thing. Thank you!!! PS: Taco is octopus. <3 :P

  9294. Wow how devastating to see the conditions of encampments in Kawasaki by the Tama river. That's the city I spent first 19 years of my life. I was born in 1947 just 2 years after the end of war so I'd seen a lots of piles of building material garbage still being cleared to make ways to rebuilt but still nothing like this video. It's possible I just didn't see it because I was a kid. I moved to US in 1975 and been living here since and now a citizen of US. As in every nations and cultures there will always be homeless problems and it's due to economy, political and religions to name a few causes. Governments can only do so much as long as social programs / assistance are depended on taxes. Except we could do more if we can tax more on millionaires as ways to help these social issues. I'm surprised that many of these people live in Kotobuki Cho spoke English well. That's much more than in general populations. That goes to show what their education level is before they fell into their predicaments. What's more they seemed to be happy there.

  9295. Eyeopening,... Reality on all countries in the world...japan is not exempted...thanks for showing.... Japan is probably the most modern in the world.. now im worried about the future of the world..looks failure..

  9297. Thank you Anming for your report on a subject that is more prevalent in some places than others, but can be found all over. Your videos are always first hand informative reports that are too the point. What I enjoy is the clarity of your voice and no unnecessary bothering music as in many other similar videos that distract from the subject. Most devestating for me would be to be old and only live among and have contact with old people that are in the same unfortunate situationan. To have no or only mimimal connection to the younger generations must be like darkness during the day time. Always remain the Oriental Peal that you are and greetings to Tommy.👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

  9301. I've had a few interactions with East Asians when I was abroad. In Thailand,this young South Korean couple approached me and asked my dad whether they could take a photo with me :) and my dad said yes and took the photo for them. I was only 11 back then. And in 2019,when were in Vietnam,a Chinese lady asked my mom to take a photo of her with me and my sister hehe My mom had a cute interaction too with two Japanese grandmas at Bangkok Airport. They were praising my moms outfit continuously. She was wearing a silk skirt and blouse with a floral pattern🤗🤗
    3
  9302. Wow this is news to me, I mean most documentaries and youtubers show the bright side of Japan and the neighborhoods that are "nice" and clean. I've never thought of this side of Japan before, thanks for the video
    3
  9303. You know why I've become a fan of your channel? Unlike other vloggers, you don't spend every episode in a restaurant talking about food. It's far more slice of life. This is how to discuss food, making it with locals. What's going to happen when the quarantine is lifted? I prefer your Japanese content, will that come to an end?
    3
  9304. I talked to my Japanese friend all night and they say i must move to japan, bc i am very similar to Japanese culture. I am part native american and i spent many years living in native american culture, even though i look like a typical american white guy. But i am far more humble and considerate of others because of my experience. I have inherited some land here in america, which i want to sell and use this money to travel abroad and make a new life for myself. I see Japan as one of a few places that could be good for me, as a lower class American who suddenly will have upper class money. Could you explain the cost of your life in Japan for me?
    3
  9305. I just found out your channel and got inspired by you, a kind-hearted angelic woman... I am also learning japanese through apps and websites and I dreamt of goimg there when I grow up. Thank you so much for inspiring me more...Arigatou gozaimasu...Daisuki desu

  9318. I had to do an internet search for the definition of the word "Nampa" so I could figure out if I was jealous or not. Good news; I'm not jealous. My ears are still kind of stinging a little from listening to that guy trying to sing but, I'm not jealous. I recall watching one of your videos where you played the violin. Maybe you can give this guy some pointers on what music sounds like.
    3
  9319. Thank you for debunking this. I know for a YouTube video you need to have those big reactions for the purpose of having an engaging video that makes people want to return for more. What concerns me is when you see people who advertise themselves as fully fluent and speak like a native when that is really far from the truth. There are certain linguistic patterns and ways to pronounce words that are developed as a small child. By certain ages your comprehension and accent there are limits you can attain. It’s why, for instance, a family member of ours born in the US is “near native” but he will always have a slight accent and certain grammar he can’t grasp because his first language until kindergarten was Cantonese. As someone who has started Japanese only really in earnest over the last few years, I know I can only get so good whereas if I decided to ever take back up German or Hebrew, I have the potential to attain a much higher fluency because of my age of exposure.

  9324. I’m giggling. I just finish 12 Genki lessons today and I can say I understood what you were talking about even without the subs. God I’m excited to go to Japan.

  9325. Awesome video !! I always look forward to watching you’re new videos !

  9326. My listening skills are really good, currently listening to a "just talking" stream with obviously no translation or subtitles and I get like 90% of what is said. But I suck at constructing sentences, especially bending verbs and confusing past and present tense. The rules in Swedish, english and japanese are all different.
    3
  9327. I just came back from a Japan trip a few days ago. I obviously only went to touristy places in Osaka and other cities but this video was so eye opening. I honestly had no idea these places exist. 😅

Seems they not reading comments on youtube- love the 2 songs they put out there ). Sad to hear people with disabilities are not treated equally. She can help to change that in japanese society.

  9336. Keep going!! Haters are apart of success

  9337. In Japan there is no such thing as "FAT ACCEPTANCE" because Japanese knows what wrong with that and not being denial

  9338. Hello miss Pearl. ❤😆❤
    3
  9339. I believe you'll reach it before 2021! I always look forward to these videos where you interact with other Japanese people, simply can't get enough of it!
    3
  9340. Great news. I subbed a long while ago. You deserve the attention. Start organising funding streams and promoting educational and cultural content not just entertainment. Get arts funding and interest.

  9341. Great video. It's interesting to see what these workers do in a day. Kinda reminds me if Paolo's day in a life video. We are still waiting on him to do day in a life of a Yakuza.

  9342. You should have shirts that say, "No, I'm not Russian" in different languages.

  9343. living in Arizona, for some reason it was odd hearing him say "Arizona Cactus" lol. i guess I just assume people in other countries dont really know the different states

  9346. I love these videos, could listen to your chinese for hours, it's so good! I hope there'll be a vietnamese video in the future!

  9347. Noo stop it, don't make me want to go to japan even more.
    3
  9348. love the vids!

  9349. Polyglot videos can make me feel so insecure sometimes - it took me 10+years of English to get to a fluent level - how can I achieve that in 30 days while studying other languages at the same time 😂
    3
  9350. trust me, if you're a pretty and well-mannered and intelligent girl (like you are), no one will EVER say anything bad about you anyway in any country you go to......😅

  9351. When does it stop coming? That's a lot of noodles, I know you gotta be like damn that's a lot of noodles.

  9354. Love love love this video. Seeing all those smiles made my day.

  9355. In Japan at least you can always hope that an earthquake will shake the pigeons off your french fries.
    3
  9356. Ma'am, please keep doing what you love. I look forward to your videos because they offer me a window to a place I've never been before! Keep up the awesome work!
    3
  9357. Wait did she say economic powerhouse and with a high foreigner population X'D ok👌. Also the head turns are probably because of your accent. I agree with Kevin that the most flattering reaction is someone asking you how long you have lived in Japan for? Also if you look at how Kevin sounds when he speaks english vs when he speaks Japanese it's almost entirely different.

  9358. Bathing is something that has always fascinated me about Japanese culture. It seems to me that the concept of ‘shame’ for siblings is far less than America. I’m a male born in the 1980s btw. I was very comfortable being naked in front of my mother, father and cousins all the way up until I was about five or six. It wasn’t a daily routine or anything but I have the specific memory of being naked on a large toy rocking horse with my 2-years-old younger female cousin (her mom is my mom’s sister), and her father (my uncle) came home and was laughing along with our moms as they took a picture of us and I dismounting the toy horse. I die of embarrassment until this day but I really shouldn’t because in reality the human form isn’t something to be ashamed of. Yet I am incredibly bashful and embarrassed and probably always will be. There’s so much genitalia comparison and competition amongst men in America that it would be horrifying for me to take a public bath with other guys in Japan even if it’s a part of the onsen culture. What I’m trying to say is that I feel your pain 😂

  9359. I love the way you say “Bye Bye” in English with an Asian accent. So cute!!!

  9360. I was a teacher at a kids eikaiwa school in Shiga for 3 years with toddlers to teenagers and this video is accurate

  9362. What a great video! I know you just started, so the musical/visual editing style isn't as flashy, but the content is really really great! Keep up the great work-- I can totally see you becoming a huge Japan lifestyle YouTuber as your editing skills improve!

  9363. Thumbs up for sharing your Tokyo Treat👍

  9364. Y’all are so cute together aaaa

  9365. How do you hide the camera? Btw I’m using your videos to learn Chinese when I’m not studying it directly, it works(: thank you!

  9366. I would have loved to hear something from. World order especially one called singularity on piano.

  9374. It's always been a problem with the "polyglot" community and people claiming to be polyglots. Whenever someone asks me how many languages I know (not counting the context of getting a job lmao) I say 0, but I can talk about some things in 4

  9375. Congrats on your wedding, you are so inspiring. 🎉☺️❤️ p/s I am your new fan 👋

  9376. subscribed. what a badass…

  9377. This is your best and nicest video ever. And my daughter loves the cinemathography , so do i. Dan.
    3
  9378. you "get a grip" on a language somewhere around 1000 words, so i've been told. i can (somewhat) follow several languages, but my speaking ability is about kindergarten level, or worse. "masla" is butter in one slav language, but small in another. so fun. keep it up, you're having fun and entertaining the web!!
    3
  9379. I’m also in China now and have been here for more a year. I’ve already passed HSK-5 and plan on taking HSK-6 next year while also keeping up with my major i.e 汉语国际教育, in midst of all this I still am trying my best to learn Japanese myself. Whenever I feel like I’m about to give up I just watch your videos to keep myself motivated because it’s my dream to go to Japan.
    3
  9380. Your “I suck at cooking” remark already sets you up for failure. Instead, try “I’m learning how to cook,” or “I’m growing in my understanding of cooking methods.”
    3
  9381. When you don't know what to talk about or how to start it. You just say that everything is good . Lol I used be like it . When I start a conversation I was like say anything or clothes and say it preety 😂.btw Nice video

  9382. As always a great video. Preconceptions are the hardest to overcome and deal with. People everywhere jump to conclusions based on their notions of what is correct or normal, in their experience, or their belief in what they think they know. This.happens for many reasons, but it must be particularly difficult when it's your skin colour that first others you. Manner of dress, language abilities, and profession cause people to assume things that may not be true. When they learn their preconceptions are incorrect, they have only two course of actions. Have a paradigm shift that shatters their previously held beliefs, or deny reality to maintain their beliefs intact. Unfortunately ever country has people in this latter category. Beni has made a truce with this reality, and has learned to deal with issues as they happen, but there was clear indications that she was unhappy that she has had to deal with these issues. I enjoy subverting expectations when I can, but also know that I'm a product of my upbringing and experiences. Being able to communicate effectively in the language or languages of the area you are in causes paradigms to be shifted quicker than would otherwise occur. That is why Anming 7's languages skills, and this channel are shifting paradigms. She models what can be accomplished with effort and diligence, providing inspiration to those who want and need it.

  9383. Im gonna start learning Japanese soon! Im going to travel to Japan in 2-3 years! I know it’s a small donation, but I hope you respond!

  9388. Watching your posts as each month goes by, revealing how natural you are in conversation on camera. Superb.
    3
  9389. People are lame. Honestly if you went to another country and didn’t experience at least some of the culture then why are you there. For someone who plans to live in Japan someday I want to experience as much as I can. And I’m American.

    3
  9394. Man that's amazing that's shes so fluent in different languages, I definitely don't have the brain power for this
    3
  9395. When you speak to natives in their language it's universally taken as a compliment, specially if it's a complex language. It shows you appreciate them and their culture.
    3
  9396. These types of videos makes me wanna learn Japanese so one day I can visits but currently I learning Spanish so until then I love these videos :)

  9404. What a great video!! ❤
    3
  9405. You're going out during this massive chaos and making videos to help people who are depressed. I love how openly you talk with people. I had thought asian are scared to talk to foreigners and won't talk with them, your videos changed my views on that. There are always gonna be dirtbags out there, but here there's plenty more people who love your work. Thank you for your great work. Jiayou!
    3
  9406. You can't believe how happy I was to see a video of OrientalPearl an JJSays! Being a fan of both of your channels, this was wonderful to see! Now all you need to do is snag that infamous Aussie "BlondieInChina" and then you three can you do some serious magic! :-)
    3
  9407. Tommy's English is getting so much better! I remember in older videos where he could hardly understand anything you said it's cool seeing him improve.

  9409. Great to see this. I never ever imagined Japanese were so kind once you talk to them in their language. Life is easier there if you arrive speaking their language.
    3
  9410. Haters gonna hate... I'm happy to see how well life seems to have treated you so far and may it continue to do so.

  9411. When I buy Japanese snacks here in the US, I always get Royal Milk Tea. They are so good! That and creamy melon soda.

  9412. Your be surprized at how fast you pickup Vietnamese as it is very similar to Mandarin in the tones.. that utuber Chris Lewis learnt Vietnamese incredibly fast after learning Mandarin
    3
  9413. I love how you handled the last situation I probably would’ve done it the same if I were you
    3
  9414. Russian in China’s is also one of the 56 ethnic groups, so maybe they thought you are from inner Mongolian or northern China area that near Russia border. You talented , can speak Mandarin and Japanese.

  9415. How does taking interest in another culture = you want to change your race?I'll never understand ignorant people 🤦 Horse archery looks fun!!!

    3
  9428. Great video that motivates people ! Still learning Mandarin. I began learning it 10 years ago, but dropped it a few years later and had a break of many years. Picked it up for a while, then and dropped it again. Now, recently, I'm back more motivated.
    3
  9429. Awesome vid wonderful costumes nice to see people making such an effort 👌
    3
  9430. With your personality and positivity you will endear anyone you meet.
    3
  9431. I love that you showed a more realistic and authentic side to people’s reactions. Sometimes I feel like those “shocked that an American can speak another language” videos are just a slideshow to show off. People all around the world learn languages!
    3
  9432. Happy New Year everyone! What a wonderful video to begin the year.
    3
  9433. I really enjoy it when everyone smiles !!!

  9434. Awesome, I loved it, more videos like this, please.

  9435. Cool guy! Fun interview.

  9436. At least he has the courage to talk to women.
    3
  9437. You must be around 30 or over now, after 8 years in Asia, don't you think about settling in one of these countries one day or are you still excited by these back and forth? I really like your videos, we always learn something interesting out of your stories wandering around town. Your energy is contagious!
    3
  9438. The broken glasses sound effects surprised me while I was staring at these persons reaction😅😂

  9439. "Did you know only 20% of people make it this far in the video and youre one of them?" Y-you make me feel so special Pearl sensei!! 😭

  9440. I've heard of her. I've watched her live. I've met her. She's very nice and supercool.
    3
  9441. thanks Nathan... love the vid today as always Pearlie girl!
    3
  9442. 1:37 it sounds like you say Fudan too-shoo and she says Fudan too-soo. Is that because of a regional pronunciation?
    3
  9443. I started learning Chinese in the second grade (22 now), which has made pronunciation so much easier, but I'm honestly still around HSK4 since I stopped taking classes. Having been in that environment as a child definitely helps me feel more comfortable with how different the sounds are compared to American English though.

  9445. IT Tech here. Download Malwarebytes, I'm running it all the time. It stops all the internet trash. It's 100% necessary with Windows PCs 👍
    3
  9446. Thank you for not dumping on yourself for being white or American. Keep making cool, positive videos that display a part of our world.
    3
  9447. This was an amazing short film! I love how you were able to convey the emotional journey you are having so far. The way you edited the film really communicates the idea that the coronavirus situation was sudden and caught everyone off guard and I can really empathise with your situation. By the way, a tip for monetisation: Don't release your video publicly as soon as possible. Release it as unlisted and give it a few hours. YouTube will then tell you whether your video can be monetised or whether it has been demonetised. You can then adjust accordingly. YouTube is blanket targeting anything with coronavirus in it, so people have to rephrase their words carefully. In regards to the YouTube algorithm and YouTube recommendations, yeah, not getting the same amount of views can be incredibly disappointing. I suspect your "Japanese prank" videos did a lot more well because that's generally more clickbaity than other style of videos like this one. You can spend all the time in the world, but if your thumbnail and title is not catchy, people won't click and even give a chance. There are still people that will watch your videos (I just began binge watching your content!) and numbers aren't everything. But if you really need higher numbers, you may need to stick to what has worked for you for a while. If you produce those kinds of content, you will grow a lot bigger. Bigger channels generally can diversify their content and produce what they actually want to produce and still have people to watch them. But those are my two cents. 加油！
    3
  9448. Future plans, pursuing career in US Japanese relations , or monetized YouTube channel .. my vote is YouTube !! Like and Subscribe
    3
  9449. All your interactions are so positive. I love watching you speak with Nihon-jin!
    3
  9450. Great video! I always watching your channel!
    3
  9451. It’s enjoyable to see your history. Your travels and interactions have added so much to your wisdom.
    3
  9452. Women in Japan seem to wear dresses/skirts quite frequently. Showing off their legs. I assumed it was because Japanese males(at least most) don't generally make women feel uncomfortable. In America, women have been catcalled and harassed into wearing jeans/t-shirts ALL THE TIME.
    3
  9453. I don't know any other languages, but I watch a lot of anime!! It's interesting how much you must learn the culture to translate properly. Like, do you really know Chinese without knowing A Journey to the West? Can you appreciate anime if you didn't realize all the names are Japanese terms in cooking!?
    3
  9454. Honestly, I loved what you said in the ending. Growing up as an Asian American in NYC, I've seen way too many incidents where people assume that anyone who looks remotely east asian is Chinese and must speak Chinese. Like, just ask ! lol
    3
  9455. You are ambassador-loving, cheerful, beautiful, and a peacemaker.
    3
  9456. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us, Anming! ❤
    3
  9457. Fascinating to see a Japanese man consider fleeing to America where a Black Asian can fit in and feel free— not the dominant narrative these days.
    3
  9458. Wow ベイブレード/ beyblade ☺️.

  9459. You’ve got great roommates and I appreciate your closeness. Stay Healthy and Positive. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🔍💎❤️🙏🏽🇺🇸

  9460. Hello from Denmark. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them very much. I also just started the Journey of selfstudying Japanese and are in my second month of doing this. I do it bacause I've always been fascinated with the culture and Karate. Also I want to go there someday and maybe live there. Arigato gozaimasu!
    3
  9461. Thanks for showing the other side of Japan...I'm fascinated by the highs & of different cultures...Please stay safe with what you do...

  9465. Tommy went blonde! 10/10❤🎉
    3
  9466. Just a friendly comment I somehow feel Mark Zuckerberg's accent would sound very similar to hers if he didn't give up mandarin after his China debacle. By all means this level in 3 years is impressive.
    3
  9467. wow! i wish i could easily talk japanese language like you 😍 Soooo prouddd😘 fan from Philippines here 🖐
    3
  9468. My day is brighter whenever you post and the day is coming when I will come back to Tokyo and hopefully run into Sam and you.

  9469. I had no idea this was going on so thank you. They are so friendly and grateful. I wish them all the very best, Even grow their own vegs
    3
  9470. That was really neat! I'd love to see a series of work life videos! I, for one, appreciate anything you on YouTube... so no matter what, I'm Not unsubscribing🥰😘
    3
  9471. So much fun in Shanghai Disneyland! I like the way you move ear pinnas of pokemon cap! When you think of the total population of China, 1000 million over, it makes me feel strange that there are not many audiences there!
    3
  9472. Wow your Chinese is immaculate! It's also amazing how the lady chased after you to give you back your wallet. Subscribed!
    3
  9473. Can't wait to see the video
    3
  9474. Another fun video! It would be great if you described your filming locations so that we can learn more about these areas.
    3
  9475. Love ur videos
    3
  9476. Thank you for doing a video on this subject. I knew somewhere, somehow there was a slum, but kept hushed up.
    3
  9477. It’s fun watching the delight on their faces when they hear native languages.
    3
  9478. Watching with my family this time! :)
    3
  9479. I love your voice overs in these videos ❤
    3
  9480. wow! that was interesting! I usually don't find it interesting about people filming themselves on tour but this was interesting!
    3
  9481. Have you had a sit down with dogen yet? Could be a pretty good video.
    3
  9482. Beautiful place with beautiful couple! Be happy 😊
    3
  9483. Since when did it became unusual to talk to people. There is no other way to make friends. I hate people who act like someone is a creep just because he is trying to make contact.
    3
  9484. You meet the coolest people
    3
  9485. That was a fun video! Happy to see smiles from the children and adults.
    3
  9486. Love your videos ❤️ sending hugs from Dubai UAE 🤗
    3
  9487. I love seeing the kids smile and it's really cute but the guys at 10:10 made me laugh so hard, it was pretty funny.
    3
  9488. About the dual passport thing. I have a Japanese friend who is married to a Swedish man and who lives here. She applied for a Swedish passport because they wanted to travel somewhere specific where the Japanese one wouldn't work as well. She apparently lost her Japanese one when she got the Swedish one. Because Japan does not allow dual citizenship or something like that? It might be different depending on if your parents are from two different countries tho, but it is definitely worth looking into properly.
    3
  9489. 😀Funny he saw your You Tube Channel , i would be like him too ~ free advertising for his store 🌸🌺🦊
    3
  9490. It’s interesting to see this side of Osaka- thanks Anming! Definitely different from Detroit’s red zone lol
    3
  9491. Love her! Thanks!

  9492. 😍😍😍You videos are soo good that you never disappoints me.
    3
  9493. How does he keep track of all those dogs….lol
    3
  9494. I just stumbled on your vids and subscribed. I've heard you say in the past your dislike of Youtube, but your authenticity is what makes your channel wonderfully refreshing. Please do what makes you happy and feel best, but I love your content! You definitely will receive the best from what you do. How hard you work is an inspiration!
    3
  9495. For me I think I would enjoy Okinawa more.
    3
  9496. oh snap!! I never knew this place existed and i went all over the place in Tokyo. Wow! Business hotels for 2300? You can easily stay in a net room that comes with a key for pretty much the same price and those come with free drink bars.
    3
  9497. I thought they’d be surprised and ask when you started learning Japanese and you’d find yourself In a long conversation XD
    3
  9498. Great video! Many thanks :)
    3
  9499. A very simple truth, one sees it all over the world, everywhere you go: People from different places have much more in common with one another, than they do with their own political leaders and governments.
    3
  9500. You are totally amazing! You are so fluent in mandarin and Japanese! Tokyo is a wonderful city. Have you done any vlogs in Eueno ? I miss that place!
    3
  9501. I feel like Im watching a documentary on discovery channel lmao
    3
  9502. Imagine if you did this all year round. 12 new languages in 1 year! You have to do this before you both start having kids. It's much easier.

  9505. I've watched a lot of videos on YouTube giving advice about learning a new language. This is probably the best one I've seen. Straight to the point and very down to earth. Thank you.

  9527. It always makes me laugh when forien people try to speak English words for me chocolate is a funny one. but to be honest foreign words in English useally sound better than the English version. Nice hair. Man I hate box's you struggle to get into its like this isn't a puzzle 😁
    3
  9528. This is the right side of Youtube . The sane side of Youtube . This channel is a snapshot of genuine and sincere interaction between fellow human beings ..Youtube is increasingly becoming a cesspool of lunatics and conspiracy theorist .. Thank you Anming for what you do !
    3
  9529. I'm learning both English and japanese with you 😊 and your voice as a narrator is just perfect 😎😍
    3
  9530. Their national sport literally being fat men running into each other is likely a big factor in the different attitude there

  9531. So sweet....I love your videos

  9532. Woohoo looking forward for part 2 !! Love the clashing of the cultures ❤

  9533. It sounds like Akaki is a perfectionist. I would think he'd be in demand, and could make a good income with his abilities.

  9534. Wow! What a great topic! It’s eye opening and refreshing to see something that shows the other side of the postcard.
    3
  9535. I've been to Japan many times ,and I don't speak very much Japanese. I'm not very social either ,so I tend to keep to myself. I absolutely love jogging ,and Japan is a runners paradise. Old people in Japan are always out and about. A lot of the parks I run at have a decent amount of older people. I'm surprise how many of them try and talk. Middle age people keep their distance. Not in a rude way ,but they're just busy or don't want to deal with the hassle of a foreigner. Teenagers are the same everywhere in the world. Young kids are really cool. I'm not tall at just shy of 6'2" ,but they love to ask how tall I am , where I'm from ect. Nobody can butcher the Japanese language better than me ,and even then the kids compliment my speaking ability.
    3
  9536. The downside of being tall in a low cave: 5 head bonks. Excellent video, Anming!
    3
  9537. I think the best thing foreigners can do… speak and read the language. Understand and respect the culture. And that’s no easy thing to do…
    3
  9538. Your videos are very good and interesting, keep them coming. If I had to leave my home country, I would probably pick Japan to start over.
    3
  9539. I think we should learn a language from its root and phonetics, also its difficult to learn in a few months, minimum a year. I can speak 9 languages but only 5 are really fluent, because I learned them over the years and communicating with natives etc.
    3
  9540. A great vibe 😃
    3
  9541. Quite enjoyable!
    3
  9542. Hi Anming, I've watched many of your videos and I've noticed that you've been mistaken for Russian many times. I know you're American but what exactly is your ethnic background that makes you look Russian? I love your frequent uploads!
    3
  9543. Whoa! A million subscribers! So happy for you, I think I found you at about 15k. I'm near San Francisco and wanted to learn Chinese because so many there are from China so I watched your videos for inspiration and I am always amazed at how well you speak. When I speak Chinese no one seems to care, lol. Best wishes for continued success.
    3
  9544. I had a dream recently that I was speaking fluent chinese, and you were in the dream-- So interesting!! I've always wanted to learn, maybe this is my sign!
    3
  9545. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE~!!!!! I JUST LOVE YOU!!!!
    3
  9546. these videos look just fine to me...... not everyone makes enough effort to get all the good angles and footage so the effort and intention can be seen here. As for the archery.....i always wanted to try traditional longbow or recurve.....

  9547. Me everytime I think about using my spare time to study japanese: 9DwzBICPhdM
    3
  9548. I really like how you represent America with your knowledge of many languages. Not many Americans learn a foreign language as I believe that they think most foreigners know English, which isn't always true. I've been to several countries (Okinawa, Egypt, and Germany) and the majority do in fact speak at least a little English. I studied German and French but have only been to Germany once and have never been to France. Making even a small effort shows the country you're visiting that you have an interest in them, because they really appreciate even the smallest of efforts. Keep up the great vids!
    3
  9549. How the heck does Xiaomanyc have 2.2 million subscribers and you are only at 20k? You are just as good (maybe better), funnier, more entertaining and far prettier? I don't understand Youtube. Lets get your subscribers up. You deserve it.
    3
  9550. I Love your vídeo.
    3
  9551. I love your videos, Pearl. You are what I aspired to be. One of my choices for career in high school was a translator for NATO. I was fluent in Spanish, but my depression got so bad I basically stopped it all. I did take beginning French and Japanese and I am working on Korean, but I didn't finish German...too hard 😂
    3
  9552. You are really amazing wow .......w... Wow
    3
  9553. Thanks for your video's, they are so informative. Thanks keep up your great work. Watching from Southern California 💖
    3
  9554. I think that really the best thing to do if you want to learn a language is really to learn it and not to watch other people learning it. I totally agree with you
    3
  9555. It's nice to see a video again !
    3
  9556. 🦊 Anming I love your videos , I'm from Michigan so i understand what your are feeling . It must of been scary not knowing where you would go. Yesterday our Governor called for stay at home quarantine (Today is my first day of it ~ I'm at home as are many others in our State ) Its a scary time in the world right now . I'm glad you got your visa issues handled 😀Can I just say your filming skills are amazing and editing too , The Cherry Blossoms look so nice there .
    3
  9557. She is amazing! Truly an inspiration to me.
    3
  9558. im not from north america but its really cool that she leaned so many languages , i often see people from US thinking they don't need to learn other languages they think the other coutries should know english instead and thats not really cool.
    3
  9559. The teacher has a very calming voice and demeanor. Very peaceful being.
    3
  9560. Wow I would love to try this whenever japan opens up for tourists where was this located at?
    3
  9561. As much as I want to learn Japanese I would have so much trouble speaking it. English isn't my native language and there are a lot of words that I struggle saying and I've been living in the U.S for more than 20 years. Some people are just gifted and some struggle a lil bit and there are the other people that only learn 1 language and struggle with the others.
    3
  9562. Wow the teaching/education approach is so different. Akita looks like such a beautiful and great place to go learn Japanese language.
    3
  9563. This was so lovely. Cultural differences didn’t hinder this first interaction and it was so wholesome 🥹
    3
  9564. This how I feel, I was born in Romania, learn when I was a kid d English but because of that, I can think in those languages, which me bilingual. Then start to have this idea to learn other languages, I start to learn Russian by myself after when I was 24 old. My take on leagues is the words that I know I fully understand but some of them can't write them, I could learn how to spell the words but I don't think that worth my time for that. ( Give an example In Russian words are in Cyrillic and makes it harder for me if read a text will take me hours to translate and understand) I wanted to learn German to be fluent because I want to move out of my country, Swedish and Russian are my fun languages, still will learn them to some level, I hope! I have my daily motivation is to listen to a song that I enjoy or find a video explaining the culture of that country. Learning phrases vs learning the grammar = Grammer wins every time!
    3
  9565. I saw you using the force to stop R2D2 from killing himself on the escalator. You thought nobody would notice but we did! lol
    3
  9566. okay a lot of people seem to have a very negative/awkward/weird impression of this dude. in my opinion there are a few too many keyboard warriors hating behind their screens and labeling him as disgusting, while trying to distance themselves from him (while beeing worse than him behind closed doors). i mean it is true its sad, that he walks alone through the streets with a cam hitting On women, but would he have been that way, if the locals would have been at least a little opener and less racist/patriarchal/right winged conservatives?? i havent watched his videos but Ive seen him literally asking a local where the starbucks was and she didnt even answer. i mean yeah they dont know english and are ashamed and shit but common you must be blind, if you couldnt tell that they were turnt off and afraid because of his skincolour. and those are adult people acting like this in japan??? i dont wanna generalize but common grow up japan you make your country seem like a bunch of antisocial autists. ironic that one of the most advanced countries with an especially high gdp act like that. this society really is dystopian af. dont get me wrong I loveee japan but loving japan doesnt make me blind to whats going on there. you cant argue that something is wrong there (materialsim/ discrimination and racism (even against half japanese people)/ they quick to judge you/highest suicide rate/ the list can goes on....... )but what im tryna say is that if the people there were just a little opener and sociable to him and regarded him as human, he wouldnt have had this "weird" online twitch community in the first place, he wouldnt be filming this shit and trying to prove his point and wouldnt spend the time to film and point out how badly he was treated. yes his rap woulda been trash anyways but at least he would be a tryhard trash juice wrld with friendsss. he wouldnt feel so lonely like juice wrld if he had actual friends to hang out with. oriental pearl your channel lacks emotionally intelligent watchers and i rather watch this video than your kinda forced 100th foreigner perfect chinese in japan speaking video but it is what it isss pardon my fench, pardon my facts 2020 better be over soon
    3
  9567. 5:41 that "sugoi to omowanai?" melted my heart :)
    3
  9568. I've watched quite a few of your videos and I find them all really encouraging, friendly and warm!! I'm currently learning Japanese by myself and as you said, the only way to learn a language better is just to be brave to make mistakes and talk to the native speakers! Thanks so much for your videos!! これからもずっと見ていますから、頑張ってください！応援します！！
    3
  9569. Can not love your videos anymore! I absolutely love how you interact and are culturally sensitive. You are absolutely amazing and your parents must be so proud of the outstanding woman you are.❤

  9573. Me literally voice chatting with english in game and chatting with english everywhere. But when i came to reality conversation with foreigners, my mind go blank and all i can say is gu gu ga ga
    3
  9574. a translation if you want to understand. i’m not sure if someone has already translated it but oh well LOL 1:35 hello mss and mr my name is royce and um so to study languages there’s a method it seems languages are a closed environment you have to learn a certain amount of words to master a language like korean or japanese, you learn 10 000 words and you’re fluent!
    3
  9575. Love your videos girls😁 我去年开始了学习中文，中国文化有趣。😍 I hope I can learn more and more about Chinese culture and language.
    3
  9576. Great interview with a a great guy. ❤🇯🇵🇪🇺🇺🇸
    3
  9577. Bottom line is that your videos are entertaining please keep making them. Apart from the entertainment aspect I also find it very interesting to see how people's attitude towards you changes as soon as you speak their language and in my opinion is an excellent reason to learn another language rather than use a translation app.
    3
  9578. Great video. I've never heard "fish" said with such disdain. But, after your fish "attack," I can see why. Very funny.
    3
  9579. I loved this video. I was cracking up at Tommy’s dad being silly and embarrassing him. I can’t wait for the next video.
    3
  9580. 3:20 what song is that playing in the background from one of the shops? it sounds familiar, like one I heard in an anime recently
    3
  9581. Don't worry I'm gonna love this video actually because im really curious about the office work environment and what not
    3
  9582. I only knew a few greeting phrases and such when i went there but as she says in the video, if you break the ice by just greeting someone, you might actually start talking to a person who really wants to test their own vocabulary in english or even talk fluently with you. it happend from time to time
    3
  9583. I know very little Japanese but I like to go on VRChat late at night and meet Japanese people there and try to talk to them, it's a lot of fun. But I still need to use an app to help expand my vocabulary (and learn to read it) hehe
    3
  9584. Your frequent uploads have become my faaaave part of the day, honestly just love you 😭😭

  9585. Wow....what a country....my dream is one time visit japan............

  9588. This worms my heard on so many levels. Thanks a lot.

  9589. I've been using HelloTalk for a few months. It's really a hit or miss. I've talked to some Japanese people that refuse to speak Japanese and will only speak English. I've tried to make the first move, but I'm normally left on read (I was even blocked a few times). I've chatted with some Japanese people over the phone, but when I want to chat with them again they reply really late or never reply at all. It's honestly a dating app, but for language exchange.

  9595. My fiancé wants to travel to japan after Hes doing serving the country. I do want to learn the language however i slur even english words.. is it possible to learn something without it coming out wrong?

  9601. Another great video Anming. The food looks amazing. I need your motivation if I want to learn Japanese. Best of luck with Korean.

  9602. Remember the Tsunami happening. Watched most of the videos of what happened. Never underestimate the power of water. Am glad you had a helmet on - clunk ouch. Been in the Mammoth Cave in KY years back. If you ever get back and get a chance to do that one. It's huge - like all caves cool. Walking toward it in 90+F weather - when you get near it you hit cool / cold air within 300 ft (100 meters) of the opening. Take care - be safe and thank you for the video. Spin

  9603. Congratulations!!!

  9604. anming quick question! are u interested in korea or the korean language? would be interesting if you started learning or would tell us about that?? :)

  9607. I'm from Brasil, I love when I see a gringo speaks portuguese almost perfectly, it really nice. I see a video from a Korean girl and other from a Russian speaking my language and i think it's great, because this people like my culture, my country. And there are Brazilians doing this kind of videos too, speaking others languages in another countries. There is no colonialism in this. Sorry my english, I'm still learning. XD
    3
  9608. fantastic video and conversation, always enjoy watching your videos.
    3
  9609. I am really confused. Some people here said that he spoke Japanese with a Finnish accent. Some said that his Japanese sounded native. Can a native Japanese person confirm which was correct???
    3
  9610. You know i actually appreciate every kind of people who gets people to learn languages. I am not a polyglot but i love to learn languages. My biggest problem is only one, when they talk shit about Duolingo or language learning app. I hate that and it's not cool to actually do that. Sure they are not a good stand alone app, but it's accessible and Duolingo made language learning mainstream by basically being a meme. And duolingo is free too I usually watch them as an entertainment and not gonna lie i got some new insight in rare occassion. But other than that, i'm more comfortable in my way of study. They gotta do what they gotta do though... to make money out of it, i was like "go secure the bag sis". But please pleaseee don't make a video that make people think they learn the wrong way. It sets an unrealistic standard and if people who is new to the language watched it and followed the tips, and failed, they would feel bad and give up. That is the last thing that the polyglots wanted.
    3
  9611. Love your videos you are amazing!
    3
  9612. You're amazing. A humble lady, unlike most of the famous vloggers. Your accent is spot on. You're not even "trying" too hard and, it flows effortlessly. Your attitude and humility has gained a new subscriber, me. Keep it up. I can't wait for your next upload. In the meantime, stay healthy, and safe.

  9613. Thank you for your. Japan and China has changed for the better economically with modern cities and buildings -- during my time there in Asia in the 1970s and 1980s as a U.S. military servicemember in Japan things were different then. 非常感謝您分享您的視頻。

  9634. Merry Christmas Pearl! I used to be shy and then I took a drama class in middle school where I can be anything in the script. Your videos have definitely motivated me and brought entertainment throughout this lost year. Best to you as you hit 150,000 and upward.

  9635. How do I find talking entertaining but when I put hella effort in video everyone hates it 😂

  9636. The ガチャ balls can have the strangest things in them. I remember two of the strangest things I saw: (1) "Tempura Tanks" -- which are deep fried tanks of war, and then (2) faucets. Like, little tiny faucets, that have a suction cup at the end, so that you can attach them to anything. In the illustration, the faucets were attached to glasses. Japan is Weird.
    3
  9637. Definitely an American girl. One of our best representatives. Love to see all the interactions.

  9638. I find Chinese language prank videos to be much more fun and entertaining than Japanese ones. Their reactions are heartwarming.

  9639. I'm a New Zealander. My ancestors are a mix of Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English migrants over the last 200 years, including a Grandparent. I have no real connection or desire to live in any of those places. (Although, because I have a Welsh surname I support Wales when they play in the Six Nations Rugby Championship.) No one challenges that I'm a New Zealander even though I burn easily in our summer sun. Migration is a thing. New New Zealanders make a great contribution to our country - our health system without the foreign born doctors and nurses would be barely existent, our world class broadband network is built by a largely foreign born workforce, and there are many examples of our country being better because people choose to live here. Even our Parliament has many migrants and the children of migrants - one blue collar area elected a Filipino as their MP in our elections last year. Of course there are people who can't appreciate the simple fact that New Zealand is a multi-cultural society and better for it - but they're generally a small minority who are widely condemned by the majority.

  9644. Nice vid' ! I miss Japan. But it's not about shyness, it's that you can't see true emotions/face from a Japanese person. They show a "fake face" in general : tatemae. My Japanese friends are Europeanized, so it's ok, in my case.

  9645. Come to Malaysia! Tou will definitely hit a million subscribers if you do videos here! Everyone is a polygot here in Malaysia!

  9649. This is such a fun video. Tommy looks like a kid in a candy store.

  9650. Those 1950s-style dancers at 1:49 look interesting. Love your swordplay with Jasmine. You two will be the talk of the second grade.

  9652. This is BLADE BLADE anime in REAL LIFE🤣😍

  9653. This was so informative and fun to watch! Definitely makes me want to, at the very least, visit the area some day.
    3
  9654. I'm just back from going around my neighbourhood with my daughter - lots of superheroes in our street. Our street has become known as the place to Trick or Treat in our local area, so it's 7pm and we're just about out of candy to hand out. Our neighbour ran out an hour ago, they've gone out to buy some more.

  9655. When I watch this kind of videos of people speaking a bunch of languages, it all sounds pretty impressive until they get to the ones that I speak fluently (Norwegian and Spanish); curiously, they always speak those two at a really rudimentary level with an awful pronunciation.
    3
  9656. Don’t pay these idiots any mind. You’re a beautiful person, a very talented linguist, and are inspiration to many people. I enjoy your channel and always look forward to you sharing your life experience.

  9657. wow the expression on that womans face was priceless @ 1:14.

  9660. To the question 'is there anywhere safe right now..?' the answer would be obvious... in your contagious laughter, your swift intelligence and generosity, keen eye for detail, combined with your charming smile, ditsy forgetfulness, lovely hair and dress sense, mixed with your drop-dead-gorgeous eyes and, who knows, maybe-one-day-hug-you YOU! Surely, there's no safer harbor in all this world right now...
    3
  9661. I love how sweet they are when they know you take the time to learn their language they are so happy and welcoming such nice people:D
    3
  9662. Anming, I see married life is agreeing with you. You look fantastic and happy.... Where is tommy???? I'm shure hes happy too Vietnamese....very hard language to learn Good luck
    3
  9663. Your Korean is so good already! I started studying halfway through 2020 and studied hard for about a year, but have actually been doing very little to maintain it since then. From the little I've heard you speak in this video I'd say my pronunciation is a bit better but I'm guessing that won't last very long, and you're already surpassing my vocab, lol. Great work and very excited to hear you improve!
    3
  9664. you found the ultimate concept. It's always the same title but it always work 😍 road to 1M

  9665. I think we are going to need a number of cruise ships to take everybody along for the ride.

  9666. Thanks for the good advise, I just started language lessons with the Confucius Institute and when I have some basic vocabulary I will definitely do some language exchange- thanks for the pep talk!
    3
  9667. I honestly feel you strike a perfect balance. Some people only focus on one shock value aspect. Love from Detroit as always, you know me by now.
    3
  9668. Another stellar video. Well Done!! You are awesome!!!!
    3
  9669. More videos with the Japanese Culture, POI, Japanese conversations etc. Greetings from Greece ✌🏻
    3
  9670. you should try Europe. So many mixed guys. so many languages. so many challenges. Honestly, the Japanese surprised me too. She spoke beautiful Chinese. And nice to see you again

  9671. and there it is! 5.5K Subs! Congrats Kiddo! :D

  9672. Dear Oriental Pearl, yes please, that would be very interesting to see some advanced Chinese and Japanese videos on this channel. Absopositively liked!

  9673. Tyler is a bot...you hearted him...
    3
  9674. I realized a few videos ago that your music is either from, or evocative of, Orson Welles spy movie "The Third Man". Ha! Proof you are a spy :-) Nice reflections on your experiences! Travelling when young shapes the rest of your life, for the better. It certainly did mine. I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say that every university student should have a gap year in a foreign (language) country before matriculating. If that were so, our GDP and total happiness would soar.

  9675. 真厲害！每天學習六個小時！佩服，佩服！

  9676. " Nerd " ?? That must be a totally subjective creation on your part , Because you are miles away from being a nerd . I would say more like a super hot language expert . Brains and beauty.

  9677. I enjoy the content. Very cool.
    3
  9678. Anming ... the conversation when the woman guessed your nationality correct and the conversation where you had the woman who served you chicken and started laughing hard .... those were two really AWESOME moments .... the one was so like honorific .... I really love watching this stuff .... you are so awesome LOL .... I never realized how awesome Korean is .... I've been watching a channel called Ringrang on Air .... its a camping channel ..... its all in Korean .... I love the way she speaks

  9679. Full respect!

  9680. This happens in uk but when your skinny instead of big. They’ll say your so skinny and your just like um okay.
    3
  9681. Thank you so much for sharing. While most of my time in Japan I've stayed in Minami alps-ci, Yamanashi prefecture, I've been to Tokyo a number of times and never heard of Sanya. Most enlightening.
    3
  9682. I'm an introvert as well and can be really shy to approach people, especially strangers, sometimes. But I admire how you randomly approach people there and then they'll greet or response nicely... I want to do that often too once I'm in Japan. 😊
    3
  9683. People like her are gonna almost singlehandedly unite the world. lol.
    3
  9684. Wish I can believe that it is never too late....My life has passed just about and now I would have loved to learn to speak Chinese. So all of you out there if you have the chance go for it...don't be sorry one day like me.

  9687. 我祝你生日快乐！I'm trapped too, but in my case in England. I let my visa lapse when the virus seemed more serious in China, now I've come to regret my decision ... but as it says on my fridge door 没有办法！just have to wait... I find your videos very comforting.
    3
  9688. Thanks!

  9689. I think it’s cool to be half Japanese and I am interested to learn Japanese culture and that’s not wrong that’s just knowledge
    3
  9690. Some of the manga have really good plot so many people who love "those kinds of genres" love I also have read some them but did not like so match😁😁. BTW love the contents you make keep posting 😃😃

  9691. Good luck dear 😊😊😊

  9695. I enjoyed the chit chat, banter & enjoyment you all had eating together. That’s a comfortable household which is lovely during a time like this 😊

  9704. How a beautiful thank you for sharing this lovely msg ❤️

  9705. That’s not hard to me anyway cause i’m finnish , sound terrible but even i loose my vocabulary some times so good effort 👍
    3
  9706. What a coincidence. You mentioned Haidiliao Hot Pot in Japan. I have a referesher towel from Haidiliao Hot Pot in Box Hill melbourne Australia in front of me next to the computer!
    3
  9707. An old lady in a restaurant in the inaka once was so impressed with my usage of とりあえず, that she repeated it loudly in the restaurant. I vividly remember that. TBH my Japanese isn’t that great. My vocab is limited only to basics (N4 level) and the the words I use at work but talking daily helps in pronunciation and understanding minor nuances.

  9708. Wow, after the elderly woman left the piano someone started to play Garota de Ipanema haha. It always gets me how Tom Jobim is famous even outside Brazil.

  9713. Tokyo is better because I like anime and Japanese culture :)

  9714. 学习外语是一件好事。 我们所有人都在学校学习第二语言。 没什么大不了的。 如何利用语言是另一个问题。 就像您的国务院马修·波廷格（Matthew Pottinger）一样，他会流利的汉语和对中国很好的理解,敦促中国改善人权。 我在youtube上观看了他的视频。
    3
  9715. I've literally watched so many of these, to the extent where I can understand it without the subtitles 😂 this is the best way to learn Chinese
    3
  9716. This makes me more inspired to do archery
    3
  9717. I really enjoy your vids. You seem like a genuinely nice person. I'm also American (living in America) and trying to learn Spanish for my second language. Thanks for inspiring me to keep with it! :)

  9718. Really interesting. I can’t imagine traveling 2 hours to work, one way!

  9719. Eu amo seu canal, voce é uma da Inspirações pra eu aprender outras linguas, gostaria muito que vc aprendesse uma lingua Latina como o Portugues 😍😍😍😍

  9721. Great video, like it a lot. Make more of these 😆😆

  9722. I have been there 5 times through the years and its one of the best countries i have ever been to , super nice people .
    3
  9723. Please continue your videos. You're my inspiration to learn Japanese!
    3
  9724. I just barely found your channel today and I love it! I have always wanted to study somewhere foreign because it sounds like so much fun!
    3
  9725. Thanks!
    3
  9726. I love your channel! I hope you can return to your studies swiftly and safely 保持良好的工作
    3
  9727. Your use of subtitles made it easy snd fun to follow
    3
  9728. I still find it amazing that you can speak Chinese and Japanese so well, my wife of 30 years is from Japan and i`ve visited many times but I still would`nt be able to hold a conversation with anyone, maybe its a memory thing and mine is absolutely terrible, although I never stay any longer than 3 months at a time.
    3
  9729. The reactions of the guy with the hat made my day.
    3
  9730. One thought I have with learning a second language - in some ways the better you get, the more you realise you don’t know (yet)!
    3
  9731. Love your videos and keep it up. The Yankee term....mmmmmm ...have to disagree with you on that one and not picking on you. Growing up in the South and being much older than you, we are familiar with family loss of ranches, cattle and businesses of what was termed carpetbaggers after the civil war with stories told by our grandparents. There still does exist Southern pride and I do not mean that in any negative sense. I use to travel the globe on business. In the U.K., they loved calling me a Yank which is what they applied to all Americans obviously. I would quietly reply that I am an American and from the South. Yank or Yankee means something different to us.

  9732. Girl, you're making me crave boba in quarantine...

  9733. It is very beautiful how people are impressed and happy to see how you speak their same language 🥰🥰
    3
  9734. That was outstanding.! They all wanted to take a picture.
    3
  9735. Without someone else to point out my mistakes and guide me as I speak, I would definitely be paranoid about my pronunciation and tone. ALL the time! >.<
    3
  9736. i wish u the very very best🎉🎉 love from germany 😊

  9737. If you have memorized 50 words per day for 3 years, does that mean you know almost 50000 characters?😵
    3
  9738. I'm currently focusing on 理解 & 文法 right now because my reading speed has been the bane of my JLPT exams. For me, speaking is much easier to learn than reading and there's no one good way of learning but I agree that you have to use it daily in whatever way you can to be proficient at it.
    3
  9739. thank you for doing this! i've been studying mandarin for 3 years now for my degree and i still lack confidence to have a conversation with chinese people here in Malaysia. your videos gave me some confidence and i will definitely try harder to speak mandarin here!! keep doing this kind of videosss
    3
  9740. You guys are cool.
    3
  9741. Wow, you looked stunning Anming!!! ♥️ So so happy for you both. Thank you for sharing this special moment with us x

  9743. Very interesting this video.
    3
  9744. I've on and off struggled with trying to learn japanese, but of all the programs I've tried I completely 100% agree that Pimsleur is leagues above all others when it comes to learning. I'll literally do one lesson and remember it vividly for the rest of the year without even opening it up again once (admittedly awful practice but the point is it's an incredibly good way to learn the language)
    3
  9745. これは最高にクールなビデオだよ 👍🏼🇨🇦
    3
  9746. Anming, they probably give horrible yelp reviews to restaurants that aren't open yet, too lol Some ppl just live for the hate and drama
    3
  9747. Cant get rid of haters. SOMEONE has to play the idiot who cant read or understand how these videos are made. You cant expect everyone to have sense :P
    3
  9748. Just say when my friend! :)
    3
  9749. Haters have nothing better to do before the crisis. Cant say I'm surprised they started hating before the video is even out. Not like they can do much more in the first place XD
    3
  9750. lol why you reviewed your name last time you said you wanna remain private😂😂🤣🤣
    3
  9751.  @szewei85  who says that's her real name? She's always given her Chinese name so wouldn't have thought she was trying to hide it.
    3
  9752. I honestly want to learn chinese and Japanese so i can enjoy my kungfu movies or manga anime and shows without subtitles. I don't know what shows have accurate enough subtitles to learn from them.
    3
  9753. I couldn't stop smiling. this was so wholesome. I want to visit Japan even more now
    3
  9754. Some possible caveats: 1) I'd still say that even a fairly low level of proficiency in foreign languages can be quite impressive (if not necessarily very useful) if the number of languages is high enough. If someone is trying to learn 10+ languages, that becomes impressive in my book far before they reach the level of, say, Matt's Japanese. But I agree that it's probably not quite as impressive as it may seem to people who don't know these languages. Also, they shouldn't mislead people about their level of proficiency. 2) I think that part about "skipping half the work" (e.g. not learning to read hanzi/kanji) can be just fine depending on your goal. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with attaining e.g. the basic conversational level you mentioned and not going beyond that. It can still be fun and even useful. For some, the extra effort for a higher level of proficiency might not be worth it. Many things that are worth doing are worth half-assing. I think Matt's comparison to learning to just play the guitar a little bit is apt. Nothing wrong with learning to play badly and then playing occasionally for fun. You don't always need to strive for excellence because realistically you're not going to achieve that for most of your skills.
    3
  9755. WOW...I am absolutely speechless and surprised. 😮😮😮. In many of the States in the US, teachers usually teaches Spanish, not Mandarin, to their students, as a second language. It’s about damn time schools in America are starting to teach our language and culture to non Asians. Kudos and respect to Phoenix for actually teaching Mandarin to kids. And, kudos to your 6 year old cousin. Her Mandarin is pretty good. 👏👏👏

  9760. Brilliant. Your accent sounds so fluent to me and I honestly cannot tell if you're speaking 'good or bad' Japanese! It sounds fantastic to me. It was so cool how you managed to speak to that lady from the podcast, too. Keep up the great content 🔥

  9767. Awesome video, love it, keep posting your adventures!❤️
    3
  9768. I stayed in Matsudo in a house for a week with my family and the locals around the neighbourhood were all so friendly. Not just polite, but really welcoming and friendly in a way I hadn't expected. My wife and I had learnt some basic Japanese so we would practice it with them, and my kids have bright red hair so they got a bit of attention as I expect children with red hair is not common. I thought it was a far more interesting experience than a central hotel room that we could have paid much more for and found a lot of cool little shops and food places while we were there.

  9783. I have a German friend and I'm from the Philippines. Our only communication is English, but sometimes we teach each other German and Filipino (I'm actually secretly learning German without him knowing😎). 0:29 Sometimes we get confused on what language to speak-💀 and sometimes we even forget how to speak our native language after continously speaking english😭😭
    3
  9784. 僕は同じだよ～ i was also born with a similar condition, Im missing my right hand as well. Always hoping to do something amazing like her as well. For now i just make youtube videos sometimes and stream on twitch! Inspiring.
    3
  9785. I don't speak Japanese but it seems you're very comfortable speaking Japanese Oriental Pearl. Doing great girl. I'd love to visit Japan one day.
    3
  9786. YOU ARE AMAZING AND A HUGE INSPIRATION. YOU SHOW PEOPLE THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, IF YOU WORK HARD.
    3
  9787. I was impressed when you spoke one language not your own. I was and am still amazed that you can mix and match different languages in the same conversation, and move the conversation forward while seamlessly switching languages. That is mastery in each language. I think you're going to have to get a tee shirt made saying I'm not Russian in multiple asian languages. That seems to be the default nationality that you're assumed to be. Either that or add Russian to the mix and just go the the flow. Hope this video goes viral so you reach the million subscribers that this channel deserves. Happy New Year Anming 7 to you and Tommy.

  9788. Thanks for your videos, I hope you keep enjoying your “quarantine” in Japan 🇯🇵

  9790. I love your videos I just found out about you yesterday. I love your videos you've given me so much happiness, and to be someone in Michigan seeing how everything is being taken care of I realy feel stress free when I watch your videos and stuff! So thank you so much♥♥♥ I'm studying Korean with my friend and I feel like your videos help me not give up on my dream of going to Asia and seeing the world outside of the US it's realy realy inspiring and awsome for me to have you as such an awsome example for me!
    3
  9791. Anming, I think you dress really well. I've asked girls like you out before and they usually retort: 'why the f**k are you asking me out', or 'get away from me before I call the Police'; and as a follow up: 'go jump off a bridge' if I dare say goodbye. So I stay at home now!
    3
  9792. Been to Japan...really friendly ppl.
    3
  9793. you're so inspiring! I speak four languages fluently, Chinese included but yours omg, I think I've never heard a non-chinese person talk the way you do! This motivates me even more to study harder and to reach this level!

  9794. wrestling in the mud seems a better idea. I'm not a perv.

    3
  9796. Fantastic interview ❤
    3
  9797. For me, just from observation, the Chinese seem to be impressed more easily. Or may be in Japanese culture, they don't want to overreact? Out of politeness. I'm just guessing, of course.
    3
  9798. OMG, I love going to the store with you, so fun! I love how people react to your language skills.

  9809. I am not a polyglot. I’m monolingual, I can only speak English fluently. No hablen español muy bien. Me gustaría aprender español. Me gustaría visitar España. Yeah my Spanish isn’t good I can introduce myself, ask for directions, a few greetings and goodbyes, and order a few basic food items but that’s pretty much my extent in Spanish.

  9810. I just gotta say. You’re so freaking cool.. I love your Chinese and Japanese. One day I’ll probably bump into you in Japan. 👍🏽
    3
  9811. Nice video I like the way how you show Japan and help by showing us how to get into a small talk with the people. Thank you for that 😊

  9818. Started watching your videos a few days ago and been binge watching them. They are so captavating. Love them. My dream since i was a child was to go to Japan. Had a trip set for 2020 but because of Covid had to cancel. Well for now i am eating up everything you show. I speak Spanish fluently so i know how great it is to have more people to talk to. Keep them coming

  9819. Loved the "reverse editing" at the beginning! 👍 I think your Soul is intertwined with the Chinese & Japanese cultures & you're a true global citizen & good storyteller who's able to genuinely share your travel experiences. I can totally relate with you in your living abroad experience cos I myself had set a goal just before graduating from high school in S'pore. I wanted to see the world outside "The Little Red Dot" (nickname for tiny S'pore - that's what it looks like on the map) & not as a tourist. My goal was to "collect Life experiences" & to live long-term in several countries, so that I can better understand a country's culture & its people. I managed to stay in the US (8 years for undergrad, grad school & work), then back to S'pore a bit before plunging into my first non-English country, Thailand (without knowing anyone or the Thai language, taught in various capacities for 5 years). Went back to S'pore when Thailand was in the thick of the "Red Shirts-Yellow Shirts" protests & demonstrations. Then met my Japanese wife in S'pore & after we got married, decided to live in Osaka for 3 years before making a final move to S'pore after our son was born. IF... I was still single, I would have included the Gulf States (UAE/Bahrain/Oman/Qatar/etc.) for another sojourn, & maybe Central America (Costa Rica/Panama) as a retirement option. But after getting married & having a kid, it's not easy to make major Life decisions like relocating to a country cos it's not just about me but I have to consider how it affects the Life choices of 2-3 other people. I'm still holding the thought of a Central American retirement, if that's still a feasible option... we'll see... 😉

  9820. I’m learning so much from these videos. Impressive the information intertwined with normal interactions with the people.
    3
  9821. You always bring up really interesting topics and your videos have a lot of variety! Since you guys are not willing to mention names, understandably since you are on the youtube space, I was hoping some of the viewers would be less shy about it. I've watched a few polyglot channels here and there in the past and was really hoping to catch some names so I can revisit and take a look. Does anyone suspect someone of being a fake polyglot? I'd like to check out their videos and see for myself, especially if they claim to speak Japanese. Thanks!
    3
  9822. I wonder what reverse culture shocks you'll experience being back, what you feel has changed or any new perspectives on America. Let us know!
    3
  9823. Thanks for sharing! I am always afraid to speak a foreign language fearing that I may say something wrong. So I avoid speaking with people whenever I travel to Japan.
    3
  9824. Keep going GUR’LLLL like I said in my other post your inspiring people like myself and others keep going! YouTube is free and the fact that your taking the time to do all this yourself is amazing. YOU ROCK! Cheers New Yorker Down Under
    3
  9825. Low quality is 480p ya know 🤣 I didn't even once think your videos are "low production quality". As far as I can see, the quality is actually improving bit by bit. So no qualms on that!
    3
  9826. It's nice to watch your video😀 I'm from the Philippines and i recommend you to study a Tagalog our language, in return I'm sure your going to 1M subscribers. Filipinos are very supportive. Good luck to your channel and please make a shout out for me🙏 thank you!

  9827. Just wanted to say hello, Anming! Hope you have a nice weekend (from Southern California)

  9828. Clicked 👍 - question, how many native English speakers learn Japanese from their love of Anime?

  9829. have you ve been in portugal? eggtarts = pastel de nata

  9830. Loved this video - love learning from you! 🤗

  9831. Great video!
    3
  9832. I love your videos! They keep me motivated to learn languages! Ive mostly been learning German, but also a bit of Japanese on the side! I hope to be able to speak either of those and meet new people like You eventually!
    3
  9833. I'm really surprised how many words I recognized in this video just from taking japanese for 2 years in highschool.
    3
  9834. I would be a 7 language polyglot if I went by the standards of most youtube polyglot videos. In reality I can only speak 2 languages including english xd

  9835. One of your best comedic moments is this video 🤣

  9838. Are you coming home lady?

  9839. Anming, I was so happy to see you well, beautiful as ever, and seemingly happy too! I'm so happy you got to collab with JJ, as I have always enjoyed her energy and spirit and she always seemed super skilled at Chinese. You are both humble and I thank you so much for all of the hard work you put in to bring us such wonderful content to expand our minds and our borders...love ya!
    3
  9840. I find it interesting that, although English is your native language, you speak Japanese with a NE Chinese accent. Not super strong but you can hear it at times (which I particularly understand if you're used to switching). It's pretty cool actually!
    3
  9841. This was so wholesome! 🥺☺️
    3
  9842. I go by a treat others as you would treat yourself approach. I do not react when non-Chinese people speak Chinese to me because when I put myself in their shoes, I would rather people not be surprised when they notice that I can speak English. Now, I know there is a mismatch between the expectations of global English fluency vs global Mandarin fluency, but still, that's how I would react. Although, I would probably be curious and ask if I came across someone whose Mandarin fluency matches yours Anming.

  9843. These videos are so good! This was so wholesome.

  9844. The "old 90s fashion" reminds me of the "Fresh Prince". If you're old enough to know, hit LIKE. 😂

  9846. I have so much respect for Lisa! Even though she was given something different from the norm, she still Pursued her dreams! They are such an inspiration, not mention the amazing hair ( ＾∀＾)
    3
  9847. Your bemusement belies your enthuasiasm. Bravo! I went to school abroad and recommend highly to everyone. It is an eye-opener. You quickly realize the things you take for granted but more importantly, you also realize the things that are really important and that although people do things differently, it all works.
    3
  9848. I am always fascinated by your language skills. Even if you have certainly learned intensively for this, I think it's so great. 😘 You are a great woman. 🥰
    3
  9849. When did you go to japan for the first time? I am going to go to a language school for the first time at 25! Worried :(

  9850. You do a great job, you are genuine.... :)

  9854. You have the most interesting friends. The fact that I'm saying this proves that I am a geek at heart.

  9855. There’s something so satisfying in the way you say “...ですよ〜〜” You sound so engaged it would make me never want to end a conversation with you haha am I making any sense here? 😂

  9868. Great video as always! Really enjoy your channel and the different video types. Keep it up!
    3
  9869. Oh God, the cacophony! They should have discussed the chord progression and key of the song before hand. The playing, later in the video, is pretty good. First song is Wake me up by Avicii. Second song is Gurenge by LiSA (Opening track to the anime, Demon-Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba).
    3
  9870. Always knew Anming is a Badassassinator! :D
    3
  9871. awesome video just keep up the good work there is always going to be negative comment I wish I could learn japenese but its too hard im struggles learning korean
    3
  9872. This was a great video. It had something of everything I love. Anming front and centre interacting with people in different languages and having real conversations, rather than just basic transactional phrases and greetings. You interact in their language and don't require them to speak English. Second you had Ninja Monkey one of my favourite YouTubers and a really nice guy as a guest in this video. Third you show me places and things in Japan that I rarely if ever see anywhere else. Fourth you talk about how to go about learning a language like Japanese in my case, or like Mandarin, Japanese, Korean and now Vietnamese in your case, can enrich your interaction. You provide tools that can assist language learners, if you have the drive to work hard and the persistence to continue through the inevitable rough patches. On top of that, you model the work required to obtain proficiency in a second or fifth language. Thereby inspiring those of us who are working on becoming proficient in a second language. I highly recommend subscribing to the Oriental Pearl Channel for her superior content that is truly unique in scope. I also recommend her Patreon and consider it one of my best monthly investments in Anming continuing to grow and expand her channel, while she inspires and educates me. It is money well spent.

  9873. I loved these guys. They seem so friendly. Also amazing dancers :))
    3
  9874. Absolutly true! I was following this youtuber speaking chinese in lots of videos and I was really impressed with his chinese skills ( and other oriental languages) tricking even the natives.... then , for my sorrow, I discover at the end of a few videos that he always always, says the same sentences. the same words. he has always the same conversation .. kkkkk over and over.... changing just a few words here and there and I´ve noticed that too many questions out of the basic , he couldnt understand... So why tricking the audience and selling classes. Ive Stop following him.

  9877. One of my trips I was walking along harijuku and Omotosando and saw a huge number of blue tarp structures under some kind of concrete structure. I thought it was maybe construction materials but after a while it was clear it was a homeless community. But very well constructed and shored up by wooden slats. Quite the contrast to the opulence one street over. The enigmatic Tokyo.

  9878. Its so awesome that his parents are so loving and accepting of your engagement! I already know you two will have a long lasting marriage filled with love and happiness. Wishing you a happy new year and all the best <3

  9879. When I watched your videos, I think chinese people are very kind and friendly :)
    3
  9880. Great video! Different from your others, as in "apple vs. oranges". I haven't smoked weed since 1979 but for some reason this video has had a similar effect on me; very trippy! I mean that in a good way!
    3
  9881. XIE XEI,DOMO,THANK YOU 🙏🙏🤗, I LOVE ❤️ WHAT YOU ARE DOING,KEEP UP ⬆️ THE GOOD WORK… I am retired on a budget, and just the other day I shared your video with a Japanese American I just met 💚💚💚

  9887. yaayy, that was a fun watch!
    3
  9888. Great video and insightful comments. A polyglot will typically sound impressive until they speak a language that is either native to you or that you know very well, which then makes you wonder about the ones you don't understand. Speaking and basic conversation is something you can control through practice so it doesn't veer into unknown territory. A better test would be to ask polyglots to listen to native speech on any random topic or say a news broadcast (no video cues either) and ask them to translate the key points to their own language and then that's compared to a "proper" translation. Less reaction-worthy but really tests whether you actually know a language or are just using it for likes.

    3
  9899. He probably felt embarrassed after asking if you were siblings lol. Maybe he thought you two had that dynamic and that it was an adoption. That was pretty funny though

  9908. Your Chinese and Japanese are awesome!! I was a missionary in Taiwan many years ago, and people were always shocked when I spoke Chinese to them because back then it was very uncommon for a white person to speak their language, but it made them so happy! ☺️ I can still understand a little, and I'm hoping to brush up as I follow you along! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

  9909. I love that your channel is blowing up. You deserve it. Hope you can go back to China soon Ma'am.

  9911. This video is amazing!! I love to see you interacting with japanese people.
    3
  9912. I agree. Every one i have seen says upfront that they are not fluent in all the languages they have studied. But they do have a main language they put a lot time into and can speak that more fluently.

  9913. Bro lol u so western you challenge your sensei xD would have done the same ^^ , by any chance you going to upload the ninja Cafe looks dope . ✌🏼

I've been obsessed with Japanese culture since I was a kid and one of my biggest dream are visit Japan and went solo trip there. So it's a lovely thing to watch your videos.. Keep all the good work. :hand-purple-blue-peace:

  9918. With all the dark stuff going on in the world; it's really nice to a break and go back to the wholesome content like this.
    3
  9919. Thanks for sharing this video. This reminds me a lot of my experiences when I was stationed in Japan some 21-18 years ago, and I've actually been to some of the places shown in this video. I really want to go back sometime soon...

  9920. This was so much fun to watch! You really inspire me to ”break out of my shell” and meet people. Thank you!!👍😊

  9925. Congrats 80k! Can u do a live session when u hit 100k? Onegai? And where else can we support/donate? And u should def include more chinese and japanese in your titles and subtitles. =billions of potential viewers. And U really do get along with anyone! What a sweet girl!

  9926. Wow, people is so friendly and wishing each other joyful greeting. Sometimes we couldn't even do it here anymore with people freaking when we greet them "Merry Christmas" or something else. Awesome video!

  9929. In Merry Christmas a person should be Santa claus but apparently it was Buta-no-hi for that person. LOL0:22
    3
  9930. Hey! A fan here :). I've wanted to point out something for some time. It seems the audio on your videos may be too loud, as some clipping can be heard. While I doubt everyone has noticed it, this can degrade the perceived quality of the audio itself or even the quality of the video. Try using a compressor instead of increasing the gain/volume of the audio. All editing programs should have it. Anyways, keep up the good work!

  9931. Anming is gonna be a harajuku girl

  9938. Charlie B I also wish I did something like this when I was younger. Lol. Is it too late!?

  9939. I am glad you spoke with sam. I love his channel, and it is good that you were fair with him, and not harsh. as many insults are probably always thrown his way, like fat, loser, sexpat, stupid gaijin, gives foreigners a bad name, etc... I honestly feel bad for him, after hearing his stories about his childhood, and it makes me grateful for how good I have it in life.

  9952. I love your channel. It's fascinating. Thank you for sharing part of your real-life adventures with us, and I sincerely wish you and your family a safe, healthy, and prosperous 2022.

  9953. I LOVED this!! I had to record myself saying these words for you and sent them to your IG...I guess I'll see if I pass for a non-Chinese, non-student firs-timer saying them! Let me know how I did hun!

  9954. there is an actual official name for what Matt said "the fluency illusion" I believe it is called the Dunning-Kruger effect check it out^^

  9955. Japanese people are understandably impressed when you speak so fluently, but I'm wondering if you ever get the opposite effect? Do you ever feel people pulling away from you because they find it upsetting that you are so much less 'foreign' than the typical foreigner they are used to seeing? Maybe that's not the case now-a-days but I remember hearing about this sort of thing in the 90's and 2000's. There was even a really good Japanese movie that touched on the theme. The plot involved a western woman who worked at a large Japanese firm and was very popular while she remained a 'token' foreigner, but once she turned on the really authentic Japanese speech and mannerisms her co-workers found it too unsettling and started to reject/sabotage her efforts at friendship.

  9956. Inspired by you, I decided to spaek in English in my vlog to improve my spoken English.

  9957. wow respect how good you speak such difficult languages like japanese & korean! 😮 🤩

  9961. Love this video! Please keep visiting the different slums and off the beaten path kind of areas... As for the old guy, just tell him "You can't afford me" next time and chuckle in the most Detroit girl way possible. 🙂 If you need a +1 to feel safer, see if your hubby will go along or other YouTubers. I like these types of videos much more than the "I caught them talking about me" ones. 🙂

  9962. She was so cool. I love interacting with people like her! Wish there were more in the world, so open. I think it shows, that they don't expect Americans to be so cultural, which saddens me :(

  9963. For once in my life, I'm early to something lol

  9964. Your Japanese sounds amazing, too. But I believe you are speaking with a Chinese, not English, accent.

  9965. It’s nice, so continue upload I love all culture

  9966. Keep up the awesome vids :D

  9967.  @OrientalPearl  I've just subscribed. I find your videos awe inspiring, your Chinese language is outstanding. Love your content.

  9968. Who would have thought an American showing a Japanese around China town teaching him Chinese. Awesome!
    3
  9969. Omg I'm even more inspired to learn Japanese. I go to this bookstore in L.A. and they have Japanese manga. I felt so lost and confused because I could not read Japanese! It gave me a reason to start learning but it's so dang hard. Knowing that Japan has some friendly people there is very encouraging. Being in America, we don't see all of that friendliness unfortunately.

  9970. There wasn't anything stuck in your teeth this time! And I've learned, through you, that if you did have something stuck, nobody would tell you :(

  9971. 日本語お上手ですね！
    3
  9972. Knowing how long took me to learn English, I never fall for any click bate that claims you can master a language in less than a year.

  9976. As a child my wife was taken to her family doctor as her parents thought she had a hearing problem. It was wax build-up that was really compacted. For several days after the cleaning she would be startled by normal sounds till she started "hearing right" again.

  9977. When you chat to men at random in the street you have to realise that men are generally quite stupid and will think you are chatting them up. Thus the invitation to eat out sometime!! I think this relates to most cultures. So be aware and keep safe. Sorry to sound like your dad :-)

  9978. Music really does bring people together. Love this ❤️

  9979. Nice touch with the camcorder view edit... very fitting for an earthquake. Tommy looked like he was about to break out in hives lol

  9980. This was so funny, you have to do more.. Icelandic has some words, I can't even start to pronounce.. This was a great idea..

  9981. 6:39 nice music

  9982. Exactly, this makes me think too that in America when people comment on people's English if they look foreign as well could be something disliked. In fact, here in the US where it's a real melting pot making statements about minorities who speak great English can be seen as a microagression or a subtle dig at the person. We also have people that have no tolerance for people with accents here in the US; so people saying you shouldn't speak your native language or any other language aside from English. This has always been something I was curious about. I've seen other people comment as well about how these videos of caucasian people speaking the language of the places they live shouldn't be so weird and unique when so many ethnic minorities do the exact same thing. I think it's just a weird type of novelty if they view you as a foreigner and you speak the language--they don't know you've been there for so many years.

  9983. Thanks! I’ve loved your channel since the beginning. Great interview!
    3
  9984. I've never been this early😁 nice video😊😍 I subscribed to your channel, not because of a guy in a thumbnail, but because when I heard you're so good at Chinese and Japanese, I thought it's so fascinating 😍
    3
  9985. I remember one time I visited Japan, Tommy Lee Jones pic was literally on every vending machine 😄. Btw, I still don’t agree that 牛逼 is a bad word 😄. It’s like you don’t categorize the word cocky as a bad word, right? 😄
    3
  9986. I'm so glad to see you and Tommy got engaged 💍❤ Congratulations!! I know COVID threw a wrench in the works for awhile and you didn't even know where you and he stood in your relationship because COVID kept you apart. I love knowing more about you and your life. 💗💗
    3
  9987. As a western style archer, I'm fascinated by Jessica's stance and form. I would maybe want to learn Kyudo some day. Although, some people say it's more difficult to learn something that's close to a thing you know, sometimes, because you might mix them up, like speaking Dutch and German. It was a lot of fun to watch Anming give it a try, and I wanted to rush into the video and correct her posture. 🤣
    3
  9988. I'm learning Chinese currently (with a private tutor), but depression can get the best of me some times which unfortunately makes it that I don't always put the time into learning that I would like. Your videos are really motivating; thanks!

  9989. When she laughs in Detroit you know she’s real lol
    3
  9990. My understanding is that employers in Japan require you to have a residential address in order to get a job, which means these homeless people would never be able to get employed, except for those menial, extremely laborious, and low-paying jobs. This effectively keeps them poor forever! I don't see how people who are stuck being homeless can ever get out of it like this 😥
    3
  9991. I saw your post! Came to see your video! Awesome video!
    3
  9992. Great video. Love their reactions when they know you understand and know their language 😊
    3
  9993. First off, I think it's a mammoth effort to actually learn languages and to put yourself out there, filming street conversations and then uploading it to YouTube. Well done. I can understand from a native speakers point of view when they cringe from viewing: "X person shocks locals in their native language" that it comes as very showy and boastful. Not taking away the effort you've put in the effort though. While you're not claiming you're fluent, the end goal (or one of them) to get viewers is still the same (would you keep producing content if you were unsuccessful with the same titles)? People will continue to comment because they just can and I guess at the same time when you upload you're always open to judgement. The YouTuber is still the "winner" in the end, sharing their story, providing entertainment, inspiring others and getting some reward
    3
  9994. the music swell and queue to cry had me laughing so hard, great content!
    3
  9995. You are amazing, as the lady said. Very enjoyable. Like how the Chinese are so blown away that anyone can speak Chinese as fluently as you do.
    3
  9996. Haha wow. Finally you did the video essay. My lousy phone will lose 10% battery each time i watch any video above 13 minutes.😄😄Guess TV stream will be an option then.😆😆Keep it up. Video essay can be fascinating sometimes.
    3
  9997. Oh wow you're like a female Chris Broad except prettier and less grumpy.
    3
  9998. Your videos motivated me to start speaking Japanese where I can. Thanks--keep it up!
    3
  9999. Wow, your hometown looks just like the wild west! Great to see more kids are learning about the Chinese culture and I remember even Donald Trump's granddaughter once sang that song.

  10000. Wow im so proud seeing ur sub from 20+ to 80 i hope u success someday... ❤

  10001. Hello Anming, good to see you enjoying life while studying hard. The velocity at which you speak is amazing. At this rate by time you go into retirement you should be fluent in all Asian languages. Respect! 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍
    3
  10002. I love how the guy asks if she likes japan because of anime, and me being a damn weeb myself I’d probably say “Yeah that’s one of them” xD
    3
  10003. I love the atmosphere on your videos, everyone is so nice and friendly.
    3
  10004. I'm a new subscriber from the Philippines 🇵🇭 You're amazing! I always wanted to learn and speak Japanese. I'm having fun watching your videos. Happy New Year!
    3
  10005. Lol my mom and dad speak in chinese and they were born in China I bet you can speak to them if you had met them and I'm chinese but I don't know how to speak chinese
    3
  10006. I notice you're speaking very formal Japanese. You're using the polite form, right?
    3
  10007. Thanks for another great video….thoroughly enjoyed it😊
    3
  10008. I don't even speak Chinese or Japanese, but I do love your videos. The quality is amazing, you have real conversations, not just bs. Keep going (: Kudos!

  10009. Haribin accent is not the most standard, the accent of mandrin is mainly from Luanping county, Chengde city in Hebei Province.
    3
  10010. I agree that it's nice to learn the local language, and it is indeed obnoxious of expats (especially anglophones) not to make an effort. My frustration with the "polyglot videos" is that they seem fake. They usually just say a few basic words, sometimes with poor vocabulary and grammar. As a language teacher, I encourage my students to learn ONE language well, with immersion and understanding of the people, culture, and nuances. And then perhaps another, if they are interested and capable. Speaking a few basic things for travel is respectful, but the shallow meddling in a culture just for show / making a video seems much more disrespectful ("Hey, how are you? I like to make mizo soup! How be is your cattle are?"), sort of like masturbation, really. I liked your earlier video you made with that other guy, criticizing this slew of fake polyglot videos.
    3
  10011. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. Dalian seems like an interesting place including its cool beach. And what an "interesting" day you had. First, you find a guy swimming on a freezing cold day wearing shorts with the American flag. Second, you find a valuable sea cucumber (which you thought was a sea booger and threw in the sea). Oh well. Now you know :-)
    3
  10012. I’m a new subscriber and I love your videos, I have always been interested in China and Japan, so I’m very happy that I found your YouTube page.

  10015. You bring a pleasant light to an uncomfortable subject when you went down 8 mile & the park. But you balanced it nicely with your glimpses of the renewals.

  10017. Disney Orlando is great. I’d really wanna visit the Japanese one. Ps Wait, you were on 5K subs 3 months ago? By this time you’re at 51K :O :O Congrats!

  10025. Thank u for speaking out sjsksjs i’m korean and i’m sick of it. . . . Actually korean and japanese and chinese kind of relatively “major” languages are more recognizable when they’re speaking really crappily RIP to the all the native tongues ear ,except major european and english speaking people

  10026. This was awesome. Brings back memories of childhood. Thank you for this. Hats off to you Tommy and Jessica.

  10027. I was an exchange student in Japan nearly 40 years ago, in Showa58, in a very small SMALL-town in Niigata. The kids did NOT have the curiosity of foreigners back then that we see in this video. People, of all ages, would stare but no one spoke!! As part of the exchange I visited several junior high and high schools. Usually visiting the English teacher's class and watching some presentation by the music department w/the English Club kids. Those kids would open up a little bit. The other exchange student from my city to that town was a blond girl like yourself... she got a lot more attention than I did!! All the girls wanted to touch her hair! The boys didn't (seem to) have the courage. lol

  10028. Ong, Ive been following channels of you two for a long time, im so excited to see this video now 💚💚💚

  10029. @2:08 GET THE NEKO! Its literally raising its hand and waving in anticipation like most animals found inside a box of a shelter XD

  10030. TY. This is so much more refreshing than "Black/white man shocks so and so by speaking chinese".
    3
  10031. the editorial approach felt different in this video and I loved it. You really shone through in this blog style format
    3
  10032. I've ridden in hot air balloons and hand glided in Napa and zip lined on Haleakala but jumping out of a plane would test my fear factor. I did have a nice conversation in Chinatown with locals over when it will ever open up. 95% of businesses are still shuttered ad the pandemic continues. Many people still don't wear face masks or distance incredibly but that's the cost of living in a free country.

  10033. I was so surprised when I saw Kelly!!

  10034. Omg I’m big fannn

  10035. Very good video, love the subtitle very useful I don't speak chinese.

  10036. Tommy had that look on his face that my wife wouldn't take me someplace really dangerous, would she? Anming then cackles maniacally. Sure, maybe not so sure. I never seen anything about that district, but you could pickup cheap real-estate. I also noted that she didn't take him to inner city Detroit after dark. That may have just a little bit to RoboCop for a nice middle class Japanese boy. I can see you're going to have to take him to a test track, to get a little bit of the need for speed out of his system. Well, the tease for the firearms video showed that Anming is definitely not a rootin tootin Annie Oakley style shootin American girl. This was a fun video.

  10037. Your friend was right, Gwai Lo is cantonese for "ghost person" means foreigner.

  10046. Thank you so much for your videos. You have no idea how much they mean to me. I came from an extremely rural background in the US where my family and I were the only ones to speak a different language. My dad had traveled a lot when he was young and was really good at picking up languages. I found a fascination in languages as a child but found it hard to express. I took French in College and was very passionate in learning it but I lacked the self-esteem to practice it in public when I had the chance. In my small hometown, there is a small population that has been growing of African French speakers and Latino Spanish speakers. Over the years I’ve gotten better and my speaking skills in French and Spanish have increased beyond belief just by speaking in brief conversations. Seeing people light up when you converse to them in their language is one of the best feelings. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to share how much your videos impact my views and confidence in speaking languages. (I’m learning Japanese now. Hopefully I can practice in public when I get the opportunity.)

  10047. Hello … 👋 I just joined your channel in the last month or so and I have traveled and lived in Latin America and my wife is Filipina🙏 Please tune out the people who hate on you… I can see that you have a beautiful spirit… don’t let them break your spirit… Attraction is relative since everyone has their own idea of what they call beautiful …You bring joy to a lot of people who wish that they could leave there space and travel and some people feel stuck so they are probably envious of you… Don’t worry about what they say and just remember what they always say about the haters… Hurt people always try to hurt other people 🤷‍♂️Again love your channel… love ❤️ your sprit and your teeth are perfect whatever that means… They only hate you because they love you … Blessings👍👋🙏

  10048. It's shocking how this is happening and everyone is none the wiser. I truly hope the best for the people affected. Big props for bringing Robin with you to get his perspective on all of this. 🙏💜

  10062. Living with six other people must bring extra responsibilities these days. If one of you become ill then peril for all. But I'm certain the collective friendship and team spirit of you guys will fend off anything! :D

  10063. Thought provoking video from a unique perspective 🤔 You really are filling out the spectrum of cultural differences. Very well done 👏

  10064. Why do you have to be an American in China or a Chinese in America why not just a human on earth😂
    3
  10065. Hey my friend! Stopping by from Nick Nimmin's comments section to say hi and show some support! Wishing you tons of success on YouTube ^_^
    3
  10066. Obviously, it helps to have good social skills but not everyone can be an extrovert unless there is something that can tear down social anxiety like maybe alcohol.
    3
  10067. Great job!! 👏 I think you’re a good representation of America, proving that we can put our mind to something and do it just as their cultures.

  10071. thank you for this! i downloaded Hellotalk a few weeks ago to practice japanese and I'm loving the community there. I'm still a beginner so I'm not using the app to its fullest potential, but it definitely gave me the confidence to form sentences. side note: thanks for the chinese textbook recommendation! I'm more comfortable reading english but i figured it makes much more sense learning Japanese using chinese textbooks.
    3
  10072. You are so authentic, real, very intelligent, i admire you...from Québec
    3
  10073. Im actually planning on teaching English to Japanese students and this video proves i wish to do that job

  10074. I’m using Pimsleur right now to learn Japanese. Is there any guesses as to when they’ll start letting foreigners into the country again?

  10088. In your own words, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to get famous. I immensely enjoy learning more about the far east through your videos. I like your positive attitude. Thanks a lot.
    3
  10089. Wow Tokyo is actually normal now kinda 🤪😂
    3
  10090. Why don't you upload your videos onto Bilibili? I'm really impressed by your Chinese speaking skills! And I'm pretty sure you'll become more and more famous in China!!! Good luck Anming!!!
    3
  10091. Very inspirational!! Our son is only 6 years old and obsessed with Japanese culture. I'm going to show him your video.
    3
  10092. I got so much inspiration watching this video today! What she said was really humble and encouraging. I'm from Brazil and I just have studied Japanese today but after I have watched this video I think I'm going to study a bit more! Thank you!
    3
  10093. 有空來臺灣走走...

  10094. I love that channel too! There is something so satisfying about seeing someone competently speak a foreign language in a foreign country. I'm still about N4-N5 Japanese but practice every day, thanks for the inspiration!
    3
  10095. Thankfully, you're not like anybody. You're simply you. With a refreshing perspective. That's why I'm here.
    3
  10096. Something I love about your videos is that you're here to educate us not just surprise us You ask people about their lives & what they're doing out there & the conversations are so friendly & casual. It's perfect listening exercise & it's really inspiring to someone who struggles with social anxiety. It's also really inspiring for an aspiring language learner. Especially the fact that you didn't just stop at learning 1 more language, or 2, no. You're on your third now (not including your mother tongue) w/ plans to learn more! There are people I've met in my life who told me doing something like that is impossible but you are living proof that it's not! I admire you & your hard work & dedication in getting to where you are now. Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have accrued over the years with us now! ❤
    3
  10097.  @OrientalPearl  I very much envy your language skills, you've inspired me to dust off my old Chinese and Japanese text books and to get back into learning again! Stay Awesome!

  10098. I bet there are some amazing hole in the wall restaurants that only the locals know about! I would love to see a restaurant tour of the "yakuza slum".

  10100. I am so appreciative about Japanese culture and society and i am really grateful for the insight you give us of everyday life and tradition that otherwise would be impossible!!! Keep up the amazing work you do! Thank you ✌️😽

  10101. It's so fascinating to hear you speak Chinese and Japanese

  10102. As a big person, the self-humor for being large makes me smile hehe

  10103. Another great one! good luck on your Korean journey! can't wait to see what's next! :)

  10104. I would love to go to japan. I want to actually live there. Its so pretty, unique and the best thing about it is that theres so many nice people and a lot of anime related things. I want to mostly go there because of the cute things and shops. I think that if I were go to japan it would help me make friends and to stop being an introvert. Also, I can literally wear any type of style I please because they most definitely don’t judge. It seems peaceful and nice there.
    3
  10105. Your videos inspire me to learn a new language. I’m not very good at language. I got kicked out of my French class in junior high. He said I was destroying the language.😂
    3
  10106. Hi Anming! I learn Japanese myself. Thanks for your language learning advice/tips, I liked the idea of Post-it notes in the house. Going to give that a try. I feel more motivated again after I saw your advice and how you write and speak Japanese.😊 By the way, what was that rock monument that you where climbing?
    3
  10107. This can just motivate you more, and more. That's a great way to keep up with the language you are learning. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
    3
  10108. I love all your videos! I feel like we're connected just a wee bit with being from Det and wanting to learn languages (I am trying to learn Chinese, and I guess Spanish too since I'm surrounded by Hispanic friends). I was in China for 2 weeks and absolutely loved it. It was hot summer weather but it was so much fun exploring the town in pure sweat. :D pure Chineae food was even more amazing, it's not the same here in USA
    3
  10109. You were a very lovely bride! You really are a sweetheart the way you deal with adversity. The dinner looked amazing! Best wishes to you and Tommy! PS if you wouldn’t have said that was a Catholic Cathedral, I wouldn’t have believed you! Are there any pre Vatican 2 looking Catholic Churches left in Tokyo? I admire the brave Japanese Catholics who kept the Faith alive for hundreds of years in the catacombs and also love the Japanese martyrs. Orate pro nobis! Thank you for sharing! Lovely lovely bride!

  10110. Am a Tanzanian(EAST AFRICA) Your Amazing! I Love to travel and the ability to speak multiple languages is indispensable, i think! WOW!

  10111. Yes! I noticed that you have embraced the fashion. I’d love to see you go shopping for clothes but I know when you’re broke, at least you can justify fancy food 😂
    3

  10113. I am so happy that folks there are starting to recognize you as well, Anming! You are such a sweet person and amazing with your command of English, Japanese, AND Chinese and how you seamlessly flow between each is absolutely amazing! I am so happy you got your wallet back too! Thanks for sharing your videos with us, as it is especially inspiring for me, a current multiple language learner myself...

  10115. Oh yes. Japanese are very nice people. 6 years ago when I got lost in a small city of Toyama which is about 300km from Tokyo, a Japanese man helped put me back on the right track. Even though I couldnt speak Japanese and he couldnt speak English, a little smile and a little bow can go a long way. Just cant wait for this pandemic to end to visit Japan again. 💚💙❤️💜

  10116. I always enjoy your videos. I find them heartwarming & fun. Your personality & interaction with people is why I watch them.

  10122. Very cool, @OrientalPearl, as in my college years (early 80's) when I first went to Japan, there was always someone in Harajuku just like your new friends, and they were all pretty chill and liked to talk to others, in Japanese and some English as well. As a male, it was not hard to chat with females there, but you had to be respectful and polite when chatting otherwise some younger Japanese girls will walk away, thinking you might be wanting something else...lol Surprised that Tokyo still has more people roaming around, as here in San Francisco, its like a "ghost town", not many people in the streets due to the virus, but the city laws here are more strict than in Tokyo right now. Anyway, love the video and will wait for your next one..お気をつけて、ね!! :-)

  10123. The #2 I can definitely hear that in all your videos when you talk with the locals! I heard it a lot also when you spoke with Sayaka, she was very consistent with it making sure you knew she was paying attention. 😁
    3
  10124. These are my favorite types of videos, the real talk. i appreciate your content, so i watch. There are only so many hours in the day, and there is only so much time one can dedicate to watching YouTube, so we have to choose wisely. Thank you for continuing to "keep it real", even with your recent onset of YouTube "success"

  10125. The thing is homelessness, poverty, and drug use is in every country whether we like it or not. Even if it doesn’t look like it on the outside. Also to those thinking it’s more for clicks and stuff, I see this more as a a way to bring light to the issue. also if you think about it as a person travelling to Japan who might not of know about this issue happens to find themselves moving towards these areas can leave if they feel uncomfortable around this kind of stuff. Some people just don’t know how to navigate around these situations. or maybe not take up a bed that a person on hard times might need knowing they’re this cheap for this reason and not for tourist. This is more of a learning video then anything.

  10126. It’s always fun hanging out with you,thank you for showing me that awesome thrift store 🙏🏻 Hope you had an awesome birthday. Dislikes even before upload means they are jealous of your success. Almost 40k. Congrats 🥳🙌🏻

  10141. I got my BA from a university in India (I'm canadian). It was an awesome experience. Wish I was young again and could go back to university days. Now I'm a mom of 3 trying to raise them to be fluent in chinese even though I'm learning with them. It's a lot of effort and expense but fun too.

  10142. That guy was rude but on the bright side your hair looked amazing. I'm very jealous of those kids early start in Arizona and I hope they all keep it up in the future. Looks like a great program.

  10145. That's so cool you were here in Hawaii!! Wish we had run into you while you were here so we could've shown you some of our favorite spots. You're multilingualism is very impressive. I'm newly subscribed to your channel. Lived in Taiwan when I was younger and would love to get my Mandarin skills as good as yours.

  10157. Fantastic video. Another very interesting interview. However I didn't realize Japan has its own annoying right wing groups.

  10171. I’ve been so excited to see this!! Thank you so much for you’re inside view of this world. It’s so interesting. Thank you for taking us into your life. 😊 PS - it would be awesome if this is a series!!

  10172. I find Japanese girls attractive and you made me realize that a American girl that speaks Japanese is alot more attractive to me 😉 Awesome video 👍
    3
  10173. I had a Vietnamese roommate, and she hardly talked to me for the first week. But as we brushed our teeth every night, she stared at me the whole time. At the end of the week, she apologized for staring and said she'd been trying to figure out my eye color and felt embarrassed that she couldn't tell. I had to answer like you did! Blue-ish? Green? Grey? Haha eye color really isn't as straight forward as some people think.
    3
  10174. Your channel is one of those "just 1 more video then I'll stop".... and I never stop. It's too addictive to watch. I think knowing Chinese/Japanese is probably one of the best mixtures of languages since it opens up a lot of communications
    3
  10175. So relieved for you. Thank you for this video!
    3
  10176. You're too lovable! I hope you can make more videos in other parts of Japan where they haven't seen foreigners.

  10182. In the last video, you informed me that only research students can take part in part-time jobs at Waseda University. As an undergraduate student, is there any way to make some bucks, or else I would be a beggar roaming the streets of Tokyo?
    3
  10183. hello dear friend, now that you are located in japan, why dont u inform us of the tokyo time, most of us may not be familiar with u.s. eastern time and thus miss out on your rare company
    3
  10184. As much as I love Japanese. They are famous for the honne and tatemae real and the facade Most are warm to foreigners. Some that aren't take time to get to that point. It's hard to know what a Japanese person is really thinking, takes time to know them. :D Japanese can be quite friendly. example in the non busier areas, there are groups that go out in the evening and walk the streets to patrol You have to get away from the major city areas to see the everyday Japanese life. It's there all around you.
    3
  10185. Realistically, actual and true polyglots are extremely rare. Most people are generally bilingual or trilingual. This is because its extremely difficult to be fluent in another language besides your own mother tongue at a near or native level. So the claims that these so-called "polyglots" are fluent in more than 5 languages (ridiculous numbers like 10, 15, 20 languages) at a near native or native level should be taken with a huge handful of salt.

  10189. The mandarin that is being considered as the official language by all chinese was actually how non chinese rulers such as the mongols n the manchurian would speak the han chinese language...but since they were ruling class, their altaic accented pronunciation became official pronunciation of the chinese language. Most chinese probably dont even know this fact.

  10193. Great video. Worth watching 👀. No dumb blonde here.

  10194. 08:11 My favorite part of your videos is that you know every prefecture in Japan, so everyone is always surprised that you know where they are from 🤣

  10195. 僕も日本語を勉強しているけどまだ上手じゃありませんが、ペラペラになるといいです. 🎌
    3
  10196. Yeah they can inspire a lot of people to get excited about learning a language, and that's why their sponsors love them, because that's when people buy all the books and other materials. Language publishers have no interest in helping you learn a language in the same way that exercise bike manufacturers don't really care whether you get fit or not.

  10197. Haters are gonna hate because of their own insecurities, it has nothing to do with you. I think you’re doing a great job. Thank you 🙏🏻

  10198. can u speak Chinese

  10199. I just stumbled upon your videos they’re very interesting specially the way you speak Japanese I’m subscribing to your channel looks like you’re a really nice person 👌🏻👌🏻
    3
  10200. What is so wonderful to hear from the Chinese people you meet is not only that they think your Chinese is amazing, but that many of them notice immediately that you speak with a certain Chinese dialect. I have heard many foreigners who speak Turkish quite fluently but they always have the accent of their origin, which i guess is very normal or easy to do. You obviously have a good ear or can adapt with more ease than others, this obviously has a lot to do with your ability and level of speaking the Chinese language, which is obviously very good.
    3
  10201. I never been to Japan before, and I am not very good at learning a new language either. But now I am starting to like Japanese things because of samurai jack and the Japanese urban legend creatures from Japanese mythology .

  10207. I am 51. I speak English at near-native level and two further European languages at C2 level. The only language I feel confident about is English. As for the other two, I could live and work in the country but I might need help in very complicated situations such as bureaucracy, legal dealings and fine literature. Beside constantly practicing the three languages I'm already fluent in, I'm currently studying my fourth European language and I can honestly say I've achieved a solid A2 level. I've also been studying Japanese for the last few months and I feel like a toddler trying to say his first few words. This is to say that learning languages to a decent level takes years. Especially if you have a day job and family obligations. Especially if you're born in a monolingual area to monolingual parents. I love languages, all of them. My list of "languages I want to learn" is endless and yet I can only manage a few and only imperfectly. This is why I am always a little skeptical about people insisting they speak 7, 9, 14 languages. Yes, you can say a few sentences, that's remarkable. But can you watch the news? Can you read a contract? Can you read poetry? Could you do a university exam in the language? p.s. I believe you can study more than one language at the same time.
    3
  10208. FROM the start of video, how come your room no window??How to breathe since that's was no air coming in? And what is your English name since your Chinese name were Anming,Oriental Pearl also not the real name rite? Anyway I really shock when an American can speak Japanese and Chinese well. Recently I'm also saw many foreigner youtuber doing well in Chinese spoken. Hope can see more about your video in the future...cheers..
    3
  10209. There is one channel that I saw where he met another "polyglot" and they introduced themselves and said I have friends in 16 languages. Like that's not knowing a language...... and I "know" 3 languages and in each of these languages it was very bad....

  10211. Oh this video brings back memories from when I was younger! I used to practice Karate when I was in my early teens. I haven't done it in years, but I totally wanna do this again now! It was so awesome, especially the fights we did once a week. It was so amazing to me how with skill, I as a 14 year old could compete against people that where 20+ year old. I always went all out on those days and came back home completely tired with a LOT of pain on my body, but it was such an amazing feeling of accomplishment. My sensei was a second dan black belt. (if I remember correctly) . I learned so much there, it was amazing. Every Wednesday, we would train kata and kihon. I'm in my early 20s now, as a sallary worker, but I so wish to have the time for things like this again! Great video, I really liked it.

  10212. When you look like a foreigner and people "get too close" its because they are pickpockets. Anytime someone gets that close to me, i will check my bag and look at them like the thief they are. Nobody wants to be that close to strangers unless they are thieves or perverts. That guy that passed by you in the beginning saw the camera and immediately changed direction. If he were just a weirdo, he wouldnt have walked so fast to catch up to you on an empty street to just walk a completely different direction. (Tldr; clues hes a pickpocket: his fast pace to catch up, his sudden direction change, walking so close to someone on an empty street.) On top of that, youre speaking english. You looked like a perfect target. Im honestly so glad you had the camera because the mafia probably does have a lot of control there.

  10213. I love how people are so amazed that you speak their language! 😮 Great job, young lady….your doing a wonderful thing, so admire you!

  10214. I am the owner of the restaurant. Very happy that you like our food. I lived in Canada for 7 years before I came to Japan. I almost eated 7 years Tim Hortons sausage breakfast with double double. In Japan, there is no breakfast in the morning except restaurants like McDonald's those open 24 hours and ... us. :) Please subscribe this channel if you watch this video. I will offer you a special discount if you can say the name of channel when you come to my restaurant. 😁😁😁

  10215. My life changed @0:17 seconds. Hip hop kimono dancers. I’ve loved this idea since an anime called Samurai Champloo. I grew up going to raves during the late 90’s - 00’s with my best friends who happened to be members of the best breakdancers in the southeast United States. So if I had seen kimono dance squad roll out into a breakdancing circle.... well it would’ve completely won! I absolutely love this fusion of dance and must have more. Please bring more joy into this world. <3<3<3

  10252. I think moving to a country for no major reasons and having no expectations is the best way to do it. Most of the friends I have that have lived in Japan a long time didn't have strong reasons to want to be there in the first place, they just fit in when they did. Japan attracts a lot of different people for different reasons, the ones who are majorly into anime and Japanese culture tend to run into problems if the country doesn't live up to expectations. It can be a lonely place for people who don't make friends easily. There are also a lot of crazies that somehow manage to move to Japan lol. They turn up in funny videos online now and again or I run into them because weird expats love me for some reason. Had a Danish guy tell me proudly that he's always getting drunk and has had the police called on him 9 times in a month. He's sort of a friend of a friend so hard to avoid unfortunately lol.

  10262. Yeah it’s terrible shame that all these trolls are trying to bully people on any channel that has any kind favourable view towards China. I don’t know if they think their bullying will convince people to become anti China.

  10264. Yeah fuck them, as you said all the hate brings views and therefore more exposure on Youtube. You keep doing you!

  10265. Must be nice to have someone in your life that you share so much chemistry with. 🙂

  10266. I watch your channel because I am fascinated by the insight into ordinary people's lives through your interaction with them, no I don't speak or intend to learn Japanese or Chinese ....at 72 I'm just thankful that I remember my name in the morning 😂. . ....I enjoy watching. ❤️

  10267. Fun video. I always liked Japanese culture and wanted to learn Japanese.
    3
  10268. I feel like the real issue here is the definition of fluency. Most of these "Polyglots" are making the term fit into a category that I would say is often, intermediate level or lower. I mean, on their definition I could say I'm fluent in german, I can read it and speak, and understand it pretty well. But if I said that to my teacher at the time she would've laughed so hard at my face ! Fluent has become a term that defines "People who have basic understanding of a language and are able to converse", at least in the youtube environment

  10269. It’s amazing how you can bring joy this way
    3
  10270. Such a cool ability, being able to speak so many languages is extremely impressive. I will be showing off all the time once I'm able to speak more than English. Also Utah, my home state, is clearly the best and I hope you enjoyed it.

  10276. Japanese is a language that is difficult to learn outside of Japan. Like Korean, Finnish, Basque and Welsh it is a language isolate despite the Chinese influence in the writing. The same is not true of French, German, Dutch, Swedish and Italian all of which I learned in school. I have been studying Japanese for some time but I am no good at it. I suppose it is because I am very old. Since Japanese is so difficult I would have thought the Japanese would be good at languages but they are as bad as British or Americans. My father who was a Sanskrit Scholar said all Westerners should learn Latin and Ancient Greek so all languages would come easily but he was not thinking of Japanese. Sic Loquitur.

  10277. the more videos i see of chinese people,the more i realize what genuinely kind people they are

  10278. Your art is amazing! You need to do a speed draw video of you practicing your craft..and also playing your instrument again too❤ Keeps your mind and soul going to bring on the arts💜

  10279. LOL!! FKING A MAN!!!! I really thought I was going crazy for a second..I swear I thought I saw this video earlier, but thought maybe I'm going crazy and just needed some sleep🥶🥶😂😂😂🤣🤣

  10280. This video is more up your alley! Well done! 👏🏼 👍
    3
  10281. This was another great video. It did a good job of dispelling some of the stigma has by simply seeing first hand account of folks in the area. Keep up the great work.
    3
  10282. i really love learning other languages the problem is i don't know where to start but because of your videos I am now motivated to pursue learning languages. Thanks for the vids

  10283. You are really so nice and kind, it's a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you !

  10285. If you ever learn Korean, I think it'd also be really interesting to start conversations with Koreans in Japan, Chinese in Korea, or Koreans in China.

  10286. Its beautiful when 2 different cultures come together to examine eachother and communicate successfully.

  10291. Fellow Michigander here. I so want to visit Japan. I need to learn the language though so I have somewhat of an understanding. I find it amazing you know both Japanese and Chinese
    3
  10292. Well done, straw-haired warrior. This is literally the best costume you could have possibly chosen for this scenario, aaaaaaaah. The Bruce Lee guess was a good one at least, since Beatrix/Uma's outfit in that scene is based on an iconic outfit from a Bruce Lee film. I've heard Kill Bill is not that popular in Japan. This video seems to confirm that. 😂 Maybe they don't like the bad Japanese from the non Japanese actors. Though Julie Drefyus sounds native to me, or at least very good. I looked it up and apparently she has lived in Japan for many years of her life and taught there.

  10293. finally you uploaded a new video🥴 they are surprised because you are beautiful✨🤪❤️ awww love that county side😏

  10294. In 2011-13 my daughter was an ALT leader in Ehime Prefecture...we spent 2 weeks with her in Imabari, (after 3 days in Kyoto),,,including teaching a whole day with 14-16 yr olds in her high school. We liked just being in a rural city ,,about 160 000 people,.,,, which was free of tourists so that we could see life in ordinary day to day settings.,,, eg speaking to local fishermen,,, and an old lady setting out her vegetables for sale... My daughter's big compliment was .." Oh gosh-- you used perfect imabari-ben," :-)) People were so pleased that I could speak some Japanese,, and that we were from NZ... ,,,,,,Having some of their language has helped a lot with Japanese and Chinese high school/ young adult homestay "daughters".

  10299. That's a form of Soma cube. I used to manufacture them from wood back in the late 1970s. His Japanese may be very polished and deliberate but yours sounds natural. You get compliments because you are doing touristy things and striking up conversations where people don't expect it. You often ask people about where they are from which encourages them to break the barriers. He also dresses in a business like fashion so the naturally polite Japanese people would not comment on his skill good or bad in most circumstances. I class you as a polyglot because you think in the language you are speaking. I am a polynot. I love Japanese but I am crap! 勉強します

  10300. That is so cool. Going to France next year. Going to use Pimsleur to learn some French before I go. 😁

  10302. Nice video ! I’m in Japan as well and hope to be able to communicate to the locals as well as you … but also realize any effort goes a long way… I “attempt” to communicate but the speaking part seems difficult.. but will continue on! I really like the evolution of your videos recently it seems you are finding your stride ! Kudos !

  10304. We first found this channel, with you exposing others in a sense, knowing how to speak their language, with that being said, this video is a change of pace, but it's good, great channel.

  10305. I liked the story about her dad taking her to the hardware store to get the materials for her sleeve. ❤
    3
  10306. Thanks for making the video I subscribed. I think my brain would melt if I tried to learn 5 languages like you. I don't know how you keep it all straight in your mind. I live in Canada and have always been fascinated by Japanese culture because my great grandfather was Japanese. He came to Canada many decades ago and he married my English great grandmother way back in 1917. I often wonder about the discrimination they faced as a mixed couple. Especially back then. I hope to vist Japan and would really like to know more about my Japanese side of the family.

  10315. I was just curious, when you're speaking in Japanese, do you ever get self conscious of Japanese people looking at you?? Haha I was just wondering cause I would be so self worried 😅😅 How do you work through the looks?
    3
  10316. Truly enjoy your videos 🙂
    3
  10317. I had no desire to ask the question of why you stayed abroad for so long. I already knew the answer. It was just obvious to me from all your vids.

  10318. Enjoyed video
    3
  10319. Dang that's some good Chinese...lol. I really enjoyed the street and building shots and the dragon looked great. I think a collaboration would boost your channel and garner greater exposure, so why not have a "kick at the can". Interesting side note, whilst watching your video up pops and ad for italki, does this mean you have hit the big times? Lol. As always, stay safe and wash your hands.

  10326. I think it's sad you can't have all citizenship's. That would be amazing, be born and grow up in one country, then as an adult you move to another that you love just as much and see it as home too. If their in your heart and you love them it's home!🥰💜🌎

  10329. Thanks for the balanced take on this topic. So much content around China feels very politically biased and intense, but your level-headed and straightforward coverage of it feels trustworthy, and makes it feel like we’re getting a glimpse of how things really are. Keep it up!

  10337. I respect Lisa so much there needs to be more videos like this. More over coming disabilities. Although I don’t see her as disabled at all she so strong and cute! I’m sure she has good days and bad days just like everyone else. It’s so sad she has been made to feel like she can’t have a job or function in society. Of course she can! I hope she sees this comment! Keep being you! Thank you for the video!

  10372. Sam is from Hebrew, Shmu'el. Samuel in many languages. It mean God Hears. For us, all names have meanings, mostly related to God or his attributes. People use Hebrew names all over the world without knowing that they're Hebrew. Johnathan, Benjamin, Abraham, Isaac, Adam, Gideon, Phineas, Saul, David, Samuel, Rachel, Rebekah, Deborah, Elizabeth, Simon, Hannah, Susanna, Shirley. Sharon. Etc. All have known meanings. Maybe some time you could talk about Chinese and Japanese naming traditions. Cheers from western Asia (Israel)!

I speak several European languages already, and currently I am using Duolingo to study Irish, Hawaiian, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian and Japanese. Particularly in countries with a relatively small population, locals are pleased when you speak a little bit of their language.

  10394. When I visited Japan in 2003 it seemed there was significantly less English on signs, and far fewer foreigners. I stayed in Ikebukuro, and went all over Tokyo and rarely saw any other non Japanese folks. It's awesome that Japan seems to be opening up a lot more to tourism now.

  10395. Great video thx 🤘

  10402. I'm so happy I've just discovered ypur channel! It's nice to see daily life in japan as a lot of youtubers tend to focus on just the bigger things. I'm also happily surprised as I'm currently attempting to learn mandaring (I'm only on the basics right now) so it's cool to see you having casual everyday conversations with your friends - and I'm in awe of how easily you make it seem to flip between the three languages.

  10415. Most people don't realise international trading keeps moving between the West and East. Asian people invest in Western products and Western people buy Eastern products and made in China like consoles, iphones, macbooks, pc parts etc. A modern car most of the parts are from all over the world. If you go to a grocery store most foods are from different countries. People are always supporting each others country without realising it. Sometimes i like mcdonalds, burger king, but i like kfc the best. There is the real KFC, McDonalds in China, so don't worry about that :3

  10416. Thanks for the insightful video. As a former student who spent six years learning English in Japanese schools, I can relate. Having native English teachers, I never really thought about why they chose to teach in Japan. Once I started working at a Japanese company, I realized how rare it was to encounter native English speakers. I almost forgot everything I had learned! However, when I started working with Vietnamese colleagues, I was motivated to learn Vietnamese to build a stronger team. One of them told me he came to Japan to experience the country, so I made him a Vietnamese language guidebook and took him skiing. Teaching English to Japanese kids who are more interested in playing might be frustrating for some. If you're considering teaching English in Japan just to experience the country, I'd suggest looking into something like Akita Inaka School, where you can learn about Japanese culture and language. This kind of interaction could foster a genuine interest in English among Japanese people.

  10417. I come from a fairly small town in California. I always felt overwhelmed by the population of San Francisco when I used to visit relatives there when I was a child. It always took me about three days to get accustomed to the increase in the number of people around me & the closeness of the homes. I can imagine how it must feel in Japan.

  10418. I'm Filipina and I stayed in Japan pre covid and I hardly feel this friendliness in Tokyo. I speak some Japanese but I felt some expectation to act just like them. Maybe because I could pass off as Japanese? I actually don't like Tokyo as I felt claustrophobic and there's a feeling of never ending anxiety despite how beautiful it looks like. I prefer the Kansai area as they mirror my hometown in the Philippines (Cebu). They are more laid back and approachable. One thing I want to note, it is a bit tough to have deep friendships in Japan because of tatemae and honne.

  10419. You are so right about making mistakes. I believe the whole issue with perfection is embedded into Chinese and Japanese culture, so they are really reluctant to speak or make any conversations with other people in a foreign language. Usually it isn't until you engage with them that they might start to speak with you. I can't imagine how many times you must have been made fun of before you got the hang of it!

  10420. When I was studying abroad in Japan, my university was near a daycare and an elementary school. All of the kids would stare at me with dinner plate sized eyes. I found it funny. I was kind of sad when they got used to seeing me.

  10421. Girl, I wish my videos would receive the amount of support yours receive :'). I really do hope people continue to support your channel because your videos are so amazing!!!! When I watch your videos, which is almost 100% of the time, I always watch them until the end. The content you share is amazing, and bringing more awareness on such topics is wonderful! I hope someday people are able to wake up and look beyond the outer shell of a human being.

  10422. You are absolutely right about that. I always try to make an effort to talk as much as I can in any language I know and I’m not afraid or shy to make mistakes at all. My advice is just like yours exactly! Don’t be shy or afraid to communicate at all. Every time I walk into any store I try my best to speak their language even with just a hello, thank you & goodbye. Practice makes progress. Anming, if I may, I have a suggestion for you. You know how you mentioned that YouTube videos are longer than TikTok videos. Well if you have free time, like 15 more minutes a day, could you kindly extend your videos even more. Not for bloopers, but for reading out each conversation you had and breaking it down for us. Like sounding out the conversations word per word if you don’t mind. Explaining what it means. It would really help us practice and learn what we hear. This will make all your videos a combination of entertainment and educational language learning. Anming aka “A”dvanced “N”orturing M”otivational “I”nstructor “N”arrating “G”enerosity 💝

  10441. It could be quite interesting as a setting. If somebody approaches you with a decent enough pitch that could create some good content then it's worthwhile. It's all how you feel about it really, no point doing a collab when it's not really what you want to do just to get somebody some views.

  10442. I think it also has something to do with pyschology. I think I've seen something about this somewhere, but I forgot. Basically, there's a type of people that won't say they're good at something, even when they are perfectly capable of it, until they are comfortable with their knowledge level. There's also some people that will say they're good at something even when they're only at the basic level.

  10453. I guess one big reason for those reactions was that two non Japanese persons were talking to each other in Japanese. 😅

  10454. Sorry for long post. Can I ask an important question (for me!)?. I was married to a Chinese lady (we are now separated). I seriously wanted to learn Chinese, she tried to teach me. Firstly, its maybe a mistake to do that as it puts a strain on the relationship especially if the teacher is not a professional. But one thing really bugged me. I wanted to learn the writing, the chinese characters. I am a very visual person, I was a designer and typographer by career, I am sure I could get to grips with this. But she insisted that I just learn it orally. OK learning speech is useful. But so is reading a sign or notice even if I cant speak the words. Is this normal? is that really the best way? whats your advice - for Chinese or Japanese.

  10461. Im currently taking japanese courses online and on my own.. And i find it easier to learn the alphabet characters first... for some reason it makes it easier for me.. How long did it take you to be fluent in japanese..?

  10462. I lived nearby Utsunomiya in 2013. For visitors don't worry, you don't have to go all the way to Tochigi for the countryside. There's countryside's in Tokyo, Kanagawa just a short distance South of Tokyo, Saitama West of Tokyo, and in Chiba. Love to meet up with you in my area of Kanagawa next to the beach!

  10470. My husband is 6'4. When we went to visit Japan in 2019 people definitely seemed intimidated by him. 🤣 I understood enough to know that some would comment on his size. Not in a bad way. They were just shocked by his height. We didn't have any interactions with children except for my friend's daughter. She was definitely terrified of him the first day but then loved him the rest of the time we were there once she realized how much of a gentle teddy bear he actually is.

  10471. Thank you for this wholesome video, i have watched it til the end. I have poor english skill but Im inspired just by watching your videos so i'll keep trying my best 😂. im a filipino, hope you can visit philippines too. Praying for your safety always.

  10472. Asking direction in Korea was amazing, in my experience. Many people pull out their smart phone for me to find direction, because I didn’t buy data for Korea. There’s once I asked a staff, she didn’t know, so I left the store kept looking, but suddenly a Korean left the store after me and pull out her smart phone to find me the way. That was amazing

  10473. Holy shit I'm so happy you don't have an abundance of pounding music in your videos and when you do the levels are turned down. Keep up the good work!

  10483. U need about 200 words to speak basics in any language. But then again, who is learning foreigner language to talk about politics. If u want to be really good at the target language u have to go and live there to rise the lvl of the language. So what if someone speak japanese and they skiped learning how to write it. It is okay by me. But what I agree with u both is, that u can not say that u speak the languages and that u are poliglot if u can only say 10 sentances in 10 different languages.

  10487. Love this.. I was just sharing with a friend that back when I was a kid, and we used to talk about “what would be the super power you’d want if you could choose?”.... Being that I was sort of a Star Trek kid....My super power would be to have the ability to speak all languages... It was tough competition in the ‘hood between flying & being invisible!

  10490. Me, a german girl, once visited London and I was standing in a queue for some ice cream with my ex bf. He was british so ofc we talked english and my german accent is like gone at this point. And there were two apparently german (bavarian) guys behind me talking about my ass and overall look. When we got our icecreams and were about to head off, I looked at them and said "oh excuse me" in english with the kindest smile I could've givin them, and finished my sentence in german saying "I'm german btw" and walked off. Didnt see their faces tho but I overheard stuff like "what" and "sksksksks" and "woooaahahh" 😅

  10494. When I went to Japan in the 90's as a high school student, I forcibly engaged in conversation and had a blast! Maybe because I didn't know any better and lacked a filter, but I shared chocolate with a man on the bullet train. He looked tired and when I offered him the chocolate, he was so excited. My friend was irritated that I did that because he didn't stop talking, but I I thought he was wonderful. I found out he spends 2 hours on the train each day. One hour to get to work and another to get back. Knowing what I know now, I wonder if he was a ghost worker, someone without a job but still pretends to work. I visited the countryside and they actually wanted me to go into a hot spring with them. I was really shy about my body back then so I declined. They had no problems wanting to share a tub or pool with me. I don't remember much of my experience on the subway though. I just remember the toilets were....different and a little terrifying.

  10497. I speak Dutch, Turkish, English a little bit of German and trying to learn Korean and Japanese. Maybe because I am part Turkish, but Japanese and Korean seem to be easy to learn for Turkish people and vice versa (as far as I was told by others). EDIT: Seeing your first time getting exposed was kind of heartwarming, though! Haha, that was great! I am sure it must be nice to also meet people whom watch your content by chance.

  10505. People getting discouraged because they don't speak languages as well as these "polyglots" is a bad thing. Glad you called them out. I also like what the guy said about real polyglots wanting to immerse in the culture and not just impress people. That's really what learning a second, third or more foreign language is all about - becoming immersed in a culture.

  10511. I have watched many of your videos, your personality and attitude is so positive and inspiring, you also have really powerful social and conversational skills. It is so wholesome to see people lighten up when you talk to them. I like this much more than pranking people by pretending not to know their language and then "wowing" them for clickbait. If you do not mind me asking, is communication something you have to do a lot in your daytime job? It sure seems so, because you make it seem effortless.
    3
  10512. Great video loads of fun. That's the Japan I like to learn about. Thanks .😄
    3
  10513. I'm loving every bit of your videos. I found your channel a few days ago and I'm totally addicted to your content... You're so bright and cheerful I just love the way you approach people and just casually chit chat with them. Makes me wanna do that too lol
    3
  10514. I can relate to so many topics you have touched. I have been learning Chinese for 8 years now and still don't see myself as fluent. I can have conversations about many everyday life topics and someone who doesn't know the language would probably think I am fluent, but there are so many situations where I am cannot understand or express something. Just today I tried to have a deeper conversation in Chinese and I was struggling with my too limited vocabulary. I'm not saying that it takes necessarily 8 years or more to become fluent - it also depends how much time you invest. But fluency in a sense to be able to have deep meaningful conversations about any topic in 30 days - I cannot believe that is realistic and I also somehow dislike such claims. I see how it discourages people around me because they know exactly they cannot do it - and then think they just don't have the talent for languages. I'm still getting reactions like "your Chinese is so good", even if I only say a simple sentence. If they really think my Chinese is so good, why do they tell me that in English and not in Chinese? So, I hope I will at some time get to the point that people don't tell me anymore that my Chinese is good, but just start a normal conversation in Chinese. What you say about skipping half the effort if you don't learn to write, i think it is true. But I kind of took the middle road. I learn to read, but not writing by hand. And I realize how much deeper the experience is being able to read Chinese characters.

  10521. It's a matter of delivering shallow content or content with substance. Have you ever watched the Youtube channel Bald and Bankrupt? Bald is an English guy (Speaks good Russian) who hides nothing about the perils of travels. Or, maybe you have watched his channel and you feel it's contrived, I don't know:)

  10524. Keep making what you make. Real life video is more informative I get see the behind the scenes of your life aboard. I get to see things otherwise I would probably never get the chance to. Plus your videos fun to watch 😁. I have a friend that was all about Japanese anime. She learn some Japanese words and went to Japan think it Disneyland but reality hit her and came back disappointed. She fell for the fantasy of YouTube and anime.🤔

  10537. I don't know if you will read this, after all it's an old video already, but I just wanted to tell you that you were my inspiration to grab some valor and finally start to learn Mandarin in my country (Argentina). First I started by myself and now if everything goes well now that the country is kinda opened again, I'll start with university courses on the language itself. Thank you for being like you are and I wish you the best.

  10538. That seems like an amazing train system. I can't get over how clean everything is. Were you in the same space as the engineer or was there a partition between you? Are those treats that you get sweetened with cane sugar or are they using other forms of sweetness? So many questions! :-)

  10539. Yay!! 1m subs 💓💓🎉 Well deserved ❤ *Im a bit sad about how John's heart feels, yet conflicts with his looks. I am ethnically Japanese but look more mixed ethnicity(due to the mixture I am..Japanese, Irish, Chamorro). Yet they would consider me more accepted due to my blood roots. It isn't fair to him...because this man is more Japanese then I will ever be 😢❤

  10546. I pretty sure every country has its bad spots. I was not expecting to this digree in Japan. You have been to China and although I'm a Chinese fan you will most probably tell me that the bad spots exist there as well. I have seen some on YouTube but overall it seems ok. The rural areas where the poorer people live seems oddly civilized. Thanks for the video. Your Japanese aswell as your Chinese Mandarin is very good. I wish you well with you Japanese husband.

  10547. I realize I'm late to this video but I'd still like to thank you and Matt. This is a really interesting topic and as a person who studies both Japanese and Chinese (why I decided to study both at the same time i don't know tbh) I can really relate. I sometimes get discouraged when I see polyglot videos talking about how they learned a language in a certain amount of time and always wondered if I was doing something wrong. I realized I don't have the same amount of time to spend on studying when working full time but still. My Japanese is rusty but during my peak study time I could have those simple and easy short everyday conversation which made travelling around Japan much easier. I want to take more time to study next year because it is that much fun imo. Thank you again Anming for inspiring me to keep going. I also think your videos gives good tips for things to see and do :)

  10553. Just came across this video and I can't agree more. I always find the "question" how many languages do you speak extremely difficult to answer, like are we talking about how many languages can I chat about the weather in or how many languages can I explain Bitcoin in?
    3
  10554. You are AMAZING and continue to encourage me becoming fluent in German!
    3
  10555. I watch your videos often and I really enjoy them. I've been waiting to see you reach one million subscribers and I want to say congratulations and keep up the good work!

  10556. Another interesting video. You actually showed how language bubbles can imprison people from fully experiencing the dominant culture of the country they are living in. Until you told me that it just wasn't Western issue, but an all native language groups issue, I was unaware of how prevalent it was. After you pointed that out, I realized I should have known better,because I've known people whose first language was not English, also grouped in there native language bubbles in primarily English language dominant countries. I guess it just shocked me that I met people in Asia who couldn't understand why I would want to learn an Asian language, when I could get by in my own language in Asia. It is individuals like you who choose to not get by, but actually become involved in where they live by learning to speak dominant language. Your channel is so unique in that you just don't show that you can learn to speak a second or third language, but that it enriches your experiences and changes your understanding of the both culture and individual people, when you can converse in their language. You don't sugar coat the difficulties and work that is required to learn a second language, but then you demonstrate what is possible once you have put in the work. Thanks for the inspiration. I eagerly await your next video.

  10560. Very impressive! It looked like you had fun with it as well. I do wonder about the Dutch guy. Does he have a channel of some sort? (Im dutch too..xD)
    3
  10561. Boo,nice clip young girl,l must admit my youth comes back to me when watching you mix with the public. I remember some old timer saying to me why do you chat with the young ones,l said because their better looking than you.😁😁

  10571. 03:57 - 03:59 i think there's a fly in your hair :^)

  10572. I think one of the big draws of the language schools is that they're one of the easier ways to get the student visa...probably the easiest "gateway" visa for someone looking to be in Japan long term. Probably my gateway, for that matter (if I don't have problems relating to being awfully old for this path)...but I'm certainly not expecting it to really do the job in terms of getting me to a fluency level I desire. Thanks for the info!

  10573. Imagine being Asian American and being told your English is amazing all your life
    3
  10574. Love you and your husband's videos. I'm also trilingual with English, Spanish and French, but feel in a past life, I was a linguist or translator, that I wanna learn all the Asian languages too. I'm slowly learning Mandarin and Cantonese and definitely, like you want to learn Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese someday. Very enjoyable your videos. Hope you keep making them and I'm subscribed :)

  10575. Her: It's kind of one of those gloomy days right now The sky is overcast, crows cawing in the background, a black cat crosses the street Me: I see that now

  10576. Good info and Katie interesting lady with a heartbreaking grin 😆

  10577. I liked the video so much, I'm happy to have seen a longer video and you two are so cool together. Thank you!

  10578. Is your home in New Zealand or Japan? No your home is wherever your heart is whether it's in New Zealand or Japan or wherever you choose to be, as long your heart is in it that's where home is.

  10581. Great video thank you 🙂It was fun to watch 🙂
    3
  10582. Good job with the itinerary. You worked in a lot. Frankenmuth, Red Wings, Coney Dogs, and of course family time. If he likes music, you should try to schedule his summer trip to catch a concert at Hart plaza (if they still have those, i haven't been there for a while). Just an idea.
    3
  10583. 9:48 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU'VE EVER SAID. Thank you..... it is worth the focus, the dedication, the purpose and vision and ambition.....when you later reap the rewards of your effort. You are an inspiration to others and it is well deserved.
    3
  10584. 10:28 what a cutie pie! He loved you!

  10588. You’re an amazing and beautiful person

  10589. I saw a thumbnail showing Chinese person speaks perfect English shocks McDonald’s employee and it made me think can we all just delete all these “shocking” foreign language videos now? It’s too embarrassing.
    3
  10590. You should make a whole video montage of all the nanpa interactions you’ve had while filming
    3
  10591. What a happy and comfortable home. I hope you both enjoy it to the fullest! The YouTube play button is the cherry on top of your new house. All your hard work has come to fruition. Thank you for using your platform for the greater good of others too. It's great what you're doing for Tokyo Drew and now he has over 10k subscribers! 💜
    3
  10592. That’s so amazing. To think, in a time where things are so challenging and more unpredictable than ever, you’re still able to reach people on such a human level. It gave me goosebumps when you said she was going to do another video with you. This is the beginning of a whole new journey within a journey for you. Thank you for sharing!
    3
  10593. Awesome you made a video with him, following him for a couple of videos and he brings some fresh air to the game 💪

  10594. this is hot🔥🔥🔥 I subscribed to both :)

  10595. These videos are so fun! Those kids are adorable, and the whole thing was really wholesome and interesting to watch! Thank you :)

  10602. I am really touch how the old lady wanted to talk to foreigners but unable to do so because she can't speak english...
    3
  10603. Great video of Hot Spring looks like so relaxing place to be.
    3
  10604. Ehh it’s not too much of a shock in Asian countries , it’s respectful to speak the language of where you visit and not expect English from people outside of America
    3
  10605. Your amazing! I love your videos, showing no fear and exploring the unknown...this was a good one, you reminded me of Laura Croft TOMB RAIDER exploring that cave and overcoming it 💪🏽
    3
  10606. I wanted so say something here. Then started thinking. Then thought too much. Thank You so much for this video. I like Japan and Korea. I just don't know how to say what I wish. Arigato gozaimasu.

  10613. I really like your videos and recently just discovered your channel! I want to study abroad and live in China one day and your videos give me a lot of insight. Thank you!
    3
  10614. That’s great. You are special and really fun. I am from Hong Kong. It will be even more impressive if you add Cantonese to your repertoire.
    3
  10615. Impressive. Keep up the good work. I hope you enjoy living in Japan. It's a very nice country.
    3
  10616. Maybe because I’m almost in my 30s, I take dating more seriously, but I know some people are more casual and that’s alright as well. But streaming it as a game doesn’t sit right with me
    3
  10617. I am a white guy born in New York probably 15 years older than these two. Had the luck to learn Mandarin & Cantonese by doing in Chinatown - never studied and then lived 20 years in China and Hong Kong. That made my whole life what it is now and those are great countries. The politics are unfortunate but the people and opportunities are amazing. People said there is gold in the streets of New York. The gold was in China. The ice sculptures in Harbin are amazing and great skiing there at Yabuli!.
    3
  10618. 4:37 I had one of those sent to me from Japan thanks to someone i know. Years back, it was so good! I wish i had more of those ;_; & wish i would of kept the box lol 10:22 So much candy! Especially japanese candy, i'd like to try! Wow that's a lot lol, i'd give you my $ to buy & send some, if there wasn't a pandemic going on ;_;
    3
  10619. 7:56 hahaha another manga i recognised. Just above the shelf from which you took the manga, there's a manga about a girl who sees ghosts and various very creepy spirits that nobody else does xD yet another funny, but creepy story xD
    3
  10620. Cool
    3
  10621. Very impressive. I have watched a few of your videos and really enjoy the. I am a 73 year old South African - my wife and I visited Japan for 1 month a few years ago and loved the place, not really expecting too much before we arrived but we were blown away by the places, customs and people.
    3
  10622. The Japanese have got to be the most stylishly dressed people on the planet.
    3
  10623. As an American who’s been to Japan, this is very true. Tokyo in fact is pretty busy and usually nobody will stop to have a conversation, but go anywhere outside the cities, and everything changes. I would highly recommend the Kansai Region 😆❤️(Osaka especially)!! OR if you’re stuck in Tokyo, try going to hangout spots or anywhere that people go to unwind and relax. Japanese people can be A LOT more social than you think 😁. Very beautiful culture overall 🇯🇵
    3
  10624. Your japanese sounds great. On a side note: you got very beautiful eyes
    3
  10625. My Love my life 🇺🇸😍❤ always beautiful I love you so much 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
    3
  10626. My family loves to watch your videos. You have given my daughter confidence to just talk to people here in Japan. Thank you for making them.
    3
  10627. I have to be honest, I'm really mixed on all these 'polyglots' and whether what they do is positive for the language learning community. On one hand it's good to promote learning languages, on the other it's wrong to say you speak loads of languages when you know a handful of phrases and are probably not quite at even A1 level. I know it's not about names but I love Richard Simcott as he is so honest and open about his levels in different languages and is clearly not into learning languages purely for the fame. That can't be said about others and it takes a lot of time and effort to be able to 'speak' a language, which is why when people ask me how many languages I speak I always say exactly what my level is, opposed to if I 'speak' or not. Fair play for making this video all those months ago - it did need making and I think it will be positive for many people put off the process by people claiming to be polyglots who in fact know very little of their foreign language!
    3
  10628. What is his channel? I missed it. Thanks!
    3
  10629. I love watching these videos😂to me its so funny how surprised most people are when they see that you understand and can speak their language
    3
  10630. That's not really a Chinese issue lol. Expat communities in general will do this sort of thing for a bunch of different reasons but mostly because people are more comfortable around others of their own culture and language. There are people from all over living in Japan that don't speak Japanese or very little some that have lived there for a long time. This includes many Westerners.
    3
  10631. Have you considered working in early years? If you enjoy being with children, teaching, and playing together, and can speak multiple languages... Contemporary early years is child led, play based and holistic. Much more fun ☺️ I don't think people will ever give teachers the respect they deserve, but it's so rewarding ❤️
    3
  10632. Yo sachin is from my country. you gotta do more vids with him!
    3
  10633. I promise to never let the algorithm decide if I would come back to your channel, this already feels home to me everyday! 🥳
    3
  10634. Yep. I remember some guy giving a TED talk on (supposedly) how to learn a language in six months, but it was largely about how this particular guy was able to pick up all kinds of stuff by immersing himself in the environment. I do not share his ability and - despite living in Japan for three decades - seem to have the skill of picking up very little. I certainly have not acquired very much this way. What I do understand is mostly based on what I studied in a language class and then built on through interacting in society. OK. Maybe I am thick, but I suspect many of these claims are simply false OR are the experience of those who are particularly adept at second-language learning.

  10635. She is really cool

  10636. I want an outfit like Tommy. RIP Laoshu. I found this channel because of him. Also RIP to your video editor I’m truthfully so sorry about that.

  10637. This is what I love about your channel. It's pretty interesting, different things and you're very authentic ❤

  10638. Congratulations, from New Mexico USA.!

  10639. That Kit Kat bite was blasphemous! I'm with teacher on this one, you snap, then eat individually. I hope Korea is fun though - I hear Issac's Toast is something not to be missed.
    3
  10640. LoL poor Tommy gets teased so much 😂
    3
  10641. I discovered your channel not long ago and immediately subscribed. I am really enjoying the content!❤
    3
  10642. Charming as per usual! This is why you are so good - you don't need outside shots to make your videos attractive. Just be you! By the way, young lady, have you seen your subscriber numbers?! You have like tripled them within a month! Annming Meet & Greet 2021!

  10643. omg I think I just fell in love with Katie. She is so beautiful!

  10644. Incredible

  10645. I’m fluent in 3 languages, and I can hold basic conversation in Chinese but I dont claim it as a 4th language just yet. Feels disingenuous

  10646. your friend is great ,he is doing what he likes,more important he is happy, charming and handsome ,do what u like , cheers if u travel to Singapore,we have different local authentic cuisine besides international cuisine, best beers.., always be happy , happy bring u Lucky 🇸🇬fans

  10647. Learning foreign languages is a great talent. Chinese and Japanese especially. I can dip into French and German quite well, but Asian languages seem unfathomable to me. Love your videos.
    3
  10648. Nice. The American is surprised because the Japanese guy pronounces Chinese words perfectly ಠ_ಠ This type of stuff never had any logic in this YT channel, and that's what I love!⭐ 4:05 Also, that's why I like Chinese, it sounds so harmonious. It sounds like a language from another world that we have to perfect to be with the angels🙃 10:03 And that kind of made me happy, 'cause I know I'm not one of those Americans and that's that you are also viewed in Europe. Girl. You're literally an international star! (Guess you already knew it) :D 11:10 And this minute is for personal reasons ._ .
    3
  10649. Makes me wanna learn Nihongo and go to Japan moreeee!

  10654. Amazing video. Loved the reactions

  10655. Have a blessed week my love 🇺🇸😍❤

  10659. Fell in love with your channel subbed
    3
  10660. You really inspire others to learn japanese and chinese, Anming. Above that, you are verry beautiful. Greedings from Romania(East of Europe). :)
    3
  10661. What I'm calling all these people who are sharing hate with their videos is "idiots". I really like your videos, keep growing!! And of course, don't give a damn about what others say, they will never stop, just do your thing!!
    3
  10662. She Kinda looks like Annie from AOT 😍
    3
  10663. Thank you for this video! It’s good to see it from your perspective and the people that you were with seeing how Japanese people react foreigners. It’s been a struggle for me studying Japanese again but I’m slowly putting into it after recovering from a burnout. I am very very looking forward to going to Japan one day soon in the future.
    3
  10664. I don‘t think she followed you tho. There‘s a really high chance that it was just a coincidence
    3
  10665. This was one of my fav videos from you so far! You were cranking out the Japanese at the end! So very cool!! I have a question, is your camera always visible or is it sometimes hidden?
    3
  10666. 私も善逸好き💕

  10667. 4:08 Tommy is soooooooo sooooooo enjoying this! 😂🛀

  10670. Beautiful flirting, beautiful Couple. Thank you for sharing.
    3
  10671. Hi guys I will travel to Japan is it a good country
    3
  10672. For some reason I enjoy these videos of Americans that speak Chinese or Japanese and there's quite a few of them at this point. However I really like your personality and the way you make conversation and you're probably my new favorite at this point. Looking forward for videos to come.
    3
  10673. Hey, you visited my home island! I'm glad you had a great time, though I got to say, the area around Nuuanu Stream and Aala Park where you filmed parts of the video can be pretty sketchy even during the daytime. It's better to park your rental car in the Chinatown municipal lot the next time you come. Also, as I mentioned in a reply, if you want to practice Korean in Honolulu, the Keeaumoku neighborhood is the place to go. As for Japanese, the Japanese-Americans are fully assimilated for generations already, so Waikiki is the best bet to practice there with other visitors.
    3
  10674. Hello! Just found your channel, and I am subscribing at this moment because I am learning so much! As someone who is physically disabled and uses a wheelchair to get around, I've always wondered how accessible Japan is?
    3
  10675. Just keep doing it. I think it's amazing! I'm a self-taught english speaker from a small city in Brazil, I'm studying dutch and chinese and I feel inspired to learn more and experience other cultures when I watch your videos.
    3
  10676. 2:30 screams in american
    3
  10677. I speak Taiwanese, Chinese, English and Japanese. As a language learner, I always feel that I still have many things to learn. Though I think study linguistic could help a lot, and that is the reason why those youtuber can master pronounciation so fast.
    3
  10678. Oh my gosh!! I am so incredibly happy for you. You two are the sweetest. 🌸 ご婚約おめでとうございます。❤️ お二人もさぞかし幸せそうなことでしょう。

  10679. Your voice is so cute!

  10680. Man, I really want to visit Japan
    3
  10681. 4:53 Look at how aware they are of their street trash situation and how it will affect them. Seems like a totally different mindset there
    3
  10682. Thanks for raising awareness, hopefully you don't get too much backlash from the gov
    3
  10683. Maybe they think Japanese is super difficult to us for the amount of people that don’t event try to speak, or the amount of tourists that make them think we are also here for kankou
    3
  10684. You have a real talent!!
    3
  10685. This was very informative, thank you Anming! **Also ~please vote~ if you're in the US guys!!

  10686. Your multiliengual queen

  10687. Lol she has a chinese accent when speaking japanese xD

  10688. And this is where I start to learn Japanese :’)
    3
  10689. I'm impressed by your ease. It makes you feel like learning Japanese to make knowledge.
    3
  10690. I was in Sasayama & other little towns around the area, which are quite different from Osaka & Tokyo. The people were so warm & welcoming, it floored my heart. I’m glad I got to experience that too, as it’s really different from the big cities (which are basically “western-ized”, imo), & gave me a broader perspective of Japan, & our humanity as a whole. Nice video too, my friend. 🙏🏻👍🤗

  10694. How is your boyfriend doing? Maybe you can film an update from him on what it's like in his part of China?
    3
  10695. I’m actually surprised with how far I’ve gotten- I’m learning 6 and can speak basic sentences and get around rlly well- to anyone wanting to learn, you got thisss
    3
  10696. Loved this different type of video! Fun to see a review. Love everything about this channel, thank you!
    3
  10697. I'm really sorry this is happening, Anming. I've been a fan of your channel for a while now, and you're clearly such a sweet, positive, and wonderful person! Wishing you all the best in this new year!!

  10698. When I was on a business trip last November, me and my wife went to a Japanese bath hot springs and it was amazing.
    3
  10699. I personally always used a dryer when I was still living at my parents' but I never bought one for myself because I started to live more eco-friendly. It might seem a bit old-fashioned to hang up clothes but especially in the sun they dry so quickly there is no point in using up electricity for them. Although admittedly I do miss the softness you get from using a dryer (I don't use any fabric softener either).
    3
  10700. I get really inspired to learn Chinese from watching your videos! Thank you for all of the hard work and effort you put into making every video!!
    3
  10701. I guess it’s official, you’re now a part of the family 😅 I’m amazed at everyone you met that day.
    3
  10702. Oof 50 new words a day, that's a lot of passion i'd say... xD I can barely manage to get 10 new Words/Day in Japanese! xD (I guess i am kinda lazy) Nevertheless i respect- no admire your passion and work you put in getting your language skills, which motivates to do more by myself and not just laze arround watching youtube videos! ^^
    3
  10703. I'm enjoying this so much. There is a lot you can do with what you have learned. Maybe you can assist travelers that are visiting and do specific tours.

  10704. It was natsukashii to see Meiji jingu: I went there the first day I was ever in Japan.

  10705. Congrats on the 1 mil and the new apartment. Love and prayers for Tokyo Drew!!!!
    3
  10706. Great job!!! Amazing, really nice to see someone, especially an English speaker take on the challenge of learning mandarin, there are only a few of them especially on this platform. Although I do have to say at 1:41, 怪不得, the 怪 sounds more like the second tone instead of fourth, and some other small details like one very common theme is switching out the fourth accent for the 2nd or 3rd, but still, super impressed, your grammar is better than mine lol.
    3
  10707. LOVE SAM and glad you collabed with him! Met him at a random TV shooting we did together and he was one of the only people in our group who was real and himself. I am glad to know him even today, SAM is one of the most realest people you can follow on youtube. LOVE THAT GUY.

  10711. Thank you for the videos! Would love to see more of rural Japan 😁

  10712. Great video once again. I love the way you took us to a place where I would not have normally seen. Japan has a lot of different qualities about it that you show and I like that. Good luck to you and good health to you and your friends and family back in the United states.

No one ever pegs me as mix cultured 😤 other Mexicans think I’m white and white people just know I’m not white 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

  10718. Wow... Anming San. I take my Hut of for you.👍 You ask't them about their job and Dream's. Their personal Good and bad stuff in their life. You ignore somhow the Coulture, but not the Coulture-keeper's, With personalised Fine questions.👍 They are verry Proud to become the Chance to tell something about themselves. You Hit the Target. 👍 One of the best Social Behaving video i ever Saw. 👍👍👍👍👍

  10721. I laughed 🤭 a lot throughout the video 😂 I really enjoyed it! I have a job here in japan and I only work 8 hours a day and five days a week making ¥1,867 an hour. I’m half Japanese too so I can see where she was coming from 😊 but I am Japanese resident cause I was born here but I’m also American citizen too 😆 I have my SSN and all 😂

  10737. You would make an exceptional ambassador, perhaps even bring peace to the Far East Nations that's on high alert bracing for the "Imminent Chinese Aggressions" that the Western Medias portray daily. The commonality of the obsession of taking Selfies among these nations could be the Key to break any hostile agression against each other... Imagine PLA soldiers taking Selfies with the Taiwanese or Japanese Defense Force during a military conflict and all weapons dropped on both sides...Peace on Earth :)

  10738. The shock 🫨 of some of the people's faces listening to you speak is hilarious.

  10739. Reminds me of a family gathering and auntie dragging you everywhere to meet everyone. You handled it so well!

  10754. Wow I like how your always the one who starts the conversations
    3
  10755. Thanks, Anming, another enjoyabe video! I like the longer format. Maybe you and Katie could do a few videos exploring Tokyo or other parts of Japan together? You seem like a good team.
    3
  10756. Wow, this really inspires me to keep going in my language studies. Keep up the good content!

  10763. I am sorry that your love of culture and language has led you to defend yourself over and over. I am half japanese but I get a lot of similar statements becuase I don't look it at all. My moms american genes were just too overpowering haha. Bullying can be hard to deal with, but if you make sure kids know its never their fault I think they will grow up well adjusted. Imo putting them into international school could give them a natural sense of 'otherness' just as I have.
    3
  10764. Aaah congratulations! You both have a similar sense of humour, always a good basis for a successful relationship...
    3
  10765. I discovered your channel because my daughter is fascinated in Japan and I wanted to share her fascination with her. I had to smile the whole video because you look so happy. Congratulations and I wish you both all the best.
    3
  10766. Lovely to hear and see you every time I do, especially when I'm feeling down. I can honestly say you fill my heart with joy...

  10767. Love your videos!! What section of a Tokyo are you in when you are talking with the sisters? There are so many trees on the street. Beautiful area.

  10770. It is cool to see a visible minority person in an Asian country face the same problem as the Asian person who was born and raised in North America... 🤣🤣🤣 Generation after generation, Asians are still being asked "Where are you really from" or being called "FOBS" in the US EVERY SINGLE DAY... Let's preach into the choir 🤣🤣🤣

  10779. Love how well you can speak the Japanese and Chinese language 😮. I had ordered some books to learn how to read and write and speak korean but I haven’t been able to get a head start 😏 definitely will push on it tomorrow.

  10780. even as a japanese it takes time to fit in kimono

  10783. I love foreign language roadrunning. you're doing great! I wonder what/where to study when I grow up.. moving far away sounds scaaary, but also very exciting ^^ Greetings From Germany, keep going :)
    3
  10784. As a language student I always enjoy watching multilingual Youtubers. You are the first one that I’ve seen that I get to see a natural conversation and really see the usage of the languages. Not the superficial I can speak it but rather I am communicating and connecting which is the essence of any language. Great video.
    3
  10785. This is really accurate and needed to be said. Especially the writing part, took a Czech class last spring at Uni level and it was once I starts to study it properly I realised how bad I was. Semi conversational language skill is around 8% of what you need to know, there is so much left to learn until you could even dream of proclaiming yourself polygot. 👍👊
    3
  10786. The way Tommy got excited about all the food haha, I salute a fellow foodie! Also the way his dad is trying so hard to learn English is just adorable. I'm happy for you that you get to be a part of this sweet family girl, all the best to you both!

  10787. Oh, if approaching strangers in Tokio can make you meet as pretty girls as those 2 half-Japanese ladies, I am in. (1 year of intense Japanese learning here) EDIT: OH NO, I STUPIDLY EDITED AND NOW THE HEART IS GONE ;_;

  10792. In a world of 2 second sound bites, 1 line headlines and news that drives hidden agenda's, it's nice to hear different cultures, languages and day-to-day conversations where it seems possible to connect and have a little fun at the same time. Thank you for recording these, l think its time to learn another language. Cheers
    3
  10793. I can't believe the hatred of someone trying to absorb a countries heritage and culture so as to feel more part of their country. Surely that's what people should do? To live in another country, is to experience it in the eyes of their own people. You're not on holiday, you're actually living there for the long term. It's as if they treat you like a holiday maker than a serious immigrant wishing to live in another country's way of life.
    3
  10794. I know i'm late but I have to say.. so one main take away I got from this 2 parter was how strong and unapologetic Katie was. Not once was she ashamed of who she was during this video and based off her stories, she wasn't growing up either. She didn't play anything up for the camera either, was just herself to the core.. Very powerful stuff. I admire people like her. Especially with how divided things are in America right now and people are scared to speak up for what they actually feel or think incase it will alienate them. . Dope stuff!
    3
  10795. Yes please, more of Anming exploring the dark side.

  10796. Hi, you mentioned once in a video that your ancestors were German. Are you also able to speak german? Cheers

  10797. Tommy was like a little kid in a candy store! 😂 You two are such a beautiful couple! ❤ Thank you for sharing! 👍

  10798. Very enjoyable. I studied linguistics in college back in the day and learned japanese as my main. I have since forgotten most of it, but loved the people's reactions in Japan when I'd speak it.

  10799. 😍😍 Quiero tocar el piano también pero no se jaja me encantó que tierno toca 😊😂😂

  10800. Right now I am learning german mostly because my grandma and papa speak it when there angry at me 😂 but I look to this channel as inspiration to learn new languages and I love it, don't lose sight and keep working towards your goal. I also like the culture in japan but I hate how people are picking at you but I think they are just jealous. Stay strong!💪

  10801. is that boy the person from daily life of a college student???? HAHAHAHAHAHA I KNEW IT< IT IS YUSUKE

  10804. I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and they are compelling viewing. Your style is refreshingly honest, especially your prank ones. You don't make exaggerated claims about the reactions of ordinary folk you meet and they seem to respond positively to you. You've obviously understood and embraced their cultures as well as their languages and they appreciate that about you. Please don't give up. Checkout the Endless Adventure channel. It took them a couple of years to get off the ground but their engaging style eventually built up a loyal following and they now make a living from their channel. Don't give up please! If you start a patreon I'd like to support you.

  10805. Donno what to say to you. I watch every video you publish because you make me smile watching them

  10806. You don’t need to care about other people’s thoughts. Just do whatever you want.
    3
  10807. This content and channel are Great!! Please dont give up!! Just need to give it sometime. Your Positivity will Prevail. Thanks for the Videos.
    3
  10808. I’ve never posted on a you tube before but will do today to say I love your content, not for the click bate reactions but for the way you tell the stories and insight into culture. I’ve just started learning mandarin and love just listing to the real conversation your having. Please keep it up!
    3
  10809. Thanks for introducing this guy, I just subscribed to him, after this video and I watched a few of his videos, it was exciting and different. Then came back here to thank you, it really breaks my heart because homelessness isn't just in Japan, it's in the US and Hawaii. I see them almost every day and it's growing worse. It's the government, high taxes, high cost of living, difficult to find jobs, and drug problems. I hope everyone donates or helps. This guy is a nice person but he speaks English very well, I understand he's scared but he will be successful soon.

  10810. Yes finally New Video I love it

    3
  10813. Katie sure can dance. This was interesting. I love your interviews. You bring different aspects to your channel than other bloggers. There's more to the Oriental Pearl than surprising natives by conversing in their language. Please let us know what Katie decides about citizenship, and why she decided that.
    3
  10814. I have tried studying mandarin and Japanese. both are pretty challenging and interesting,if I hav time to study, but I had to stick with Japanese. For me doing both at same time was not at all a good idea. I love your videos and super impressed how you pronounce the “ur” sounds. Please keep making videos! Definitely encourage me to keep going with my studies ! I am going to start classes soon to get better 1:1 directions. Thank so much for your positive attitude! Makes my day!

  10815. I’m not a foreigner, I’m from Hong Kong and I’ve only been to Canada and America. Nth I wanna say is about the content of the vdo, but seeing the kids having the courage to talk w foreigner has given me so much bravery 🥲🥲 I’ve been living under stresses recently. I’m happy to see peace around 😃

  10824. Is really nc and education for me to watch your content.. 😁 stay safe and gambatee!! 🤘 Btw can you recommend some place if foreigner going first time to japan but only have english languange to depend on? Or wish some hand gesture to point what to do? Is that effective.. Thanks
    3
  10825. Amazing video, thank you so much for both your perspectives.
    3
  10826. Hi Anming! I am lower intermediate in Chinese, and my Japanese is just enough to get me in trouble, but your videos will help get me prepared for my trip to Japan and China next year. Have you considered short videos for language learners who are still gathering vocabulary in their own country? Chinesepod 101 has at least three levels of "free" videos that really help you to hear the new words - beginner, intermediate and advanced Chinese. Native English speaking teachers like you and Yang Yang (Yoyo Chinese) are really great because you can compare the two languages and make learning easier! But, as JJ has pointed out in her videos, the best way to learn the quickest is to learn as much vocabulary as possible! Do you agree? I know providing vocabulary graphics makes editing a lot harder, but I wanted to let you know my viewpoint! Thank you for all the videos! 快乐！
    3
  10827. This is really common in Japan, people will get super nervous when they need to speak in English to the point of shutting down completely. Learning the language does open a lot of doors and makes experiences a lot more comfortable. As soon as people see you can understand them or at least be competent in Japanese they lighten up a lot.
    3
  10828. CONGRATULATIONS ABD THE CAKE LOOKS GOOD
    3
  10829. Awesome. I find it crazy that he just decided to build this thing so accurately for his kids. But I'm in same boat as you were, I'm shocked he didn't get thrown out. Despite Japan being rule based and all It seems you were less likely to get kicked out there then in other countries. I am not sure but i feel like in America there is probably a 50/50 chance of being kicked out, you'd probably have to get permission up front to ensure everyone is on the same page, people here love to use their power when can to tell people what they can or cannot do and aren't shy about it. I think in America it doesn't matter if there is a rule for or against this type of thing, here if some security card feels it's inappropriate would just ask you to leave regardless of the rules. Japan i guess they are like; um is this in a rule book? No one knows? Ok let's pretend it's not happening... lol.

  10830. Congratulations Funny that in her last video before this, she was saying omg what if my life became like the archer New Zealand girl.. And now she's getting married to a Japanese guy just like her
    3
  10831. Wow Japan really knows how to make the most of Halloween. I remember when it used to be somewhat similar in Hollywood CA on Hollywood/Sunset Blvd but things have changed here in the states.
    3
  10832. The best news in this video is the perspective of seeing you one day switching between chinese, japanese AND korean in the same footage
    3
  10833. I am currently learning Japanese with Pimsleur!! And I could understand most of what she said in Japanese! I’m soooo glad she recommended Pimsleur it is sooooo worth it
    3
  10834. Wow, Anning, these children will be polygot like you and research has found that polygot has a higher Intelligence Quotient as they need to switch and change between languages thus providing them with a good mastery of cognitive skills. Keep it up and you stay safe and out of harms way.

  10835. Good enough. Now, do it with a blindfold.

  10849. "buggy" for strollers is pretty popular in the south, interestingly that's also what we call shopping carts/trolleys. dude had the right idea
    3
  10850. I really want to go and live in Japan at least once in my life....I think that is the reason I am dedicating myself to studying Japanese. But sometimes balancing schoolwork and Japanese becomes a real task. Nevertheless, her videos give me an insight into the rich Japanese culture which keeps me going. どうも ありがとうございます！

    3
  10861. I can't believe there's drama about this. I personally love the videos where foreigners shock people by knowing their language. I think it's so cool to see that people know other people's languages so well and the surprise from the other people is cool to see.

  10870. I was on a new computer and searching for Matt's channel. This video came up in the search results with the title "Exposing YouTube's FAKE POLYGLOTS and their Lies" with a picture of Matt in the thumbnail. I was like "what the...", I thought you were going to expose Matt. I'm glad I misunderstood, and I'm glad I found your channel. Great video! Thanks!

  10872. I remember the first time I went to another country, I believe it was Russia or Norway, (I forget things things easily but this was when I was like, 13) but I think it was Russia because I don’t speak Norwegian, anyways I went there and the people there were really nice. I know that because Russian was my 2nd Language (but I already forgot it somehow) and there was a group of kids and they were walking, and Russian and German people look somewhat different, and I was going down from my hotel to get something to drink, and they noticed me and remarked that they were wondering why I was there, and I responded by telling them I was on a vacation to go skiing with my family. And we started talking and that’s how I met a majority of my friends, that I still speak to, until this day.

  10880. I found your channel randomly. I watched a huge portion of videos inna huge binge watch. All the shock videos were great. I loved 'em all. I am not a language student or anything like that. I just really really enjoy your vibes, your story, your life, your achievements. I will always watch your vids and support you and tha hubbz!! I have had so much fun right here!! 🤗

  10881. I love your Chinese voice. As an American it helps me with listening as your accent is very good, but very clear. I can hear you. Great job on your hard work.
    3
  10882. "Yankee" does have negative connotations in America. For instance: here in the 'south' when we meet people who are turse or very matter of fact, devoid of southern manners, we call them Yankees. Not to be rude, most times, but to let other people in the south know that they are not being 'rude' on purpose. Also, people in the UK refer to Americans as Yankees, and it's not really a flattering statement. Love your videos!

  10895. Nice video! Anming, I have a question. Do you recommend studying two languages at the same time? I have a very basic japanese (I know basic phrases and around 50 kanjis), but I want to study chinese too. Do I have to improve my japanese first to start chinese or I can start Chinese now? Greetings from Argentina!

  10900. This is only gonna happen with east Asian languages. From my experience,any non east Asian person speaking Chinese will instantly earn them celebrity like status. Unlike Germans which will refuse to understand and even become somewhat annoyed with you unless you speak perfectly with a perfect accent and grammar.

  10901. 1:00 /sunglasses in the morning ! especially if I was getting up at 8am (too early)! you're making my eyes cry... How much did the breakfast of champions run you?! lol I know Tokyo is expensive. although I guess 191 yen isn't that pricey for a red bull if I read that right Kind of interesting about the sanitizing, almost sounds like the cleaning they do at school at the end of the day where they rotated students on a cleaning schedule. How was traffic? Kind of skipped to the subway at the end, or is it mostly just subway congestion? Is it less crowded because you left so late (7pm)? for example, US is normally peaking commute around 5pm (typically 9-5pm day). Also do you find yourself wanting to be the last one to leave, or waiting for your boss to leave? I wasn't sure how much pressure you felt as a foreigner to 'go the extra mile'.

  10911. Hey this was a fun little video. I'm expecting this will show up in the episode titled " Anming wearing cute but inappropriate shoes for activities in Japan" I think your footwear choices don't match whatever adventure your on, but you don't let that stop you from soldiering on. I only experienced one small earth quake while in Japan and wouldn't even have known if we hadn't been stopped from going into an elevator. Then my friend who lived in Asia for fifteen years pointed out all the signs swaying in the hotel and explained that an earthquake was occurring. Clueless Gaijin in Nippon, my story.

  10930. I’ve been to Palawan. It’s a lovely island but you should be prepared that the tourism part is a lot different in comparison with other countries/islands. Japan is probably next level when it comes to paying for things xD.. * Oh and I’d rather go to Japan. I liked Palawan but Japan has been my bucketlist thing for like, forever.

  10935. If I ever get a chance to live in Japan for part of my life, or maybe even for the rest of it, I'm going to be living in the suburbs. It looks so peaceful there, I'd love to just sit down, have a good cup of tea, and listen to those cicadas. I'd probably be going to Tokyo a lot, but on the days I don't I'd just relax at home. I'll be working on my Japanese over the summer!
    3
  10936. I'm half Japanese, half white (I look more white). The funniest experience I had was when I went to an onsen (hot pool) with my mom (in the countryside) and these older ladies kept on doing that thing where they would stare at my face but when I'd look at them they would look away- but they made sure to only look at my face and not my naked body! Polite staring! Anming, can I ask what you do in Japan for work? I am thinking of moving back to Japan but I haven't lived there since I was a child, and I'd like to do something other than teaching English! I work in corporate :) Just subscribed to you, love your videos!

  10937. I admire you

  10938. This is just awesome. I wish the best for you guys, y’all seem like very salutary and wholesome people. 😌😉 by the way my grandfather was from Marquette.

  10939. Congrats to you both Tommy and Anming, very happy for you two. Your videos continue to get more motivational and I love it! Started watching/subscribed to your channel a few months ago, when I decided that my 12yo Daughter and I are going to take an epic vacation to Japan during the Spring of 2023. Your videos have helped us to understand Japanese customs, ways of life, and just the awesomeness (for lack of a better term) of all things Japan! Thank you for the educational, motivational, fun, goofy, inspirational, and loving content that you produce! Sending you Good Vibez from Sunny San Diego!

  10950. wow, after all the youtube channels I follow and everything, I didn't know this existed as well. I have wondered on occasion however how poor people or homeless lived in Japan. This was a very good video. Different then the typical reaction videos to speaking their language and look forward to more videos like this!
    3
  10951. Hi Anming，今天第一次看到你的视频，一口气看了很多，太巧了我也会说日文和中文而且我就住在板橋区！看过很多介绍日本的主播，你是最有亲切感的，不仅因为你中文说得好(不得不说用中文介绍日本的美国人可能就你一个了)，日语也棒，还因为你真的很了解中国文化，看你和中国阿姨聊天我都自叹不如。祝你开开心心度过在东京剩下的清闲的日子，你的频道一定会越来越火的。顺便好奇你的英语听起来很舒服，不知道在美国算是哪儿的口音？

  10966. Again with the AWESOMENESS in your videos!!! This is really cool! I have personally met a Guitarist who is missing his right forearm (since before he was born). He duct-tapes the guitar pick to his arm in order to play. He's good. It's been YEARS since I saw him last and I hope he's okay. Shout-out to Haywood! I LOVE that you make friends so easily nowadays! And I thought this interview was very well done. It broaches a sensitive topic and it gets awareness out there. Well done!!! Luv ya! <3

  10969. Loved this ladies reaction. Really surprised but recovers quickly.
    3
  10970. I enjoyed watching this. Watching you speak English, then Chinese, then Japanese is fun to watch. I enjoy watching the reactions of the people also. The supermarket is so tiny! It’s so different from here in the states so naturally I found that pretty interesting too. If I told my friends I had fun watching somebody shop for groceries today they would think I finally lost my marbles. Lol 🤣🤣

  10971. This genuinely makes me so happy

  10972. I wish my mom taught me her native language. I live in America and I would have learned English no matter what. It didn't make sense not to teach me.

  10974. Did you get a chance to grab gold leaf ice cream while in Kanazawa?When the Hokuriku Shinkansen line opened up from Tokyo, I went to Kanazawa to find some golden treasures :)
    3
  10975. Ik this has nothing to do with the (amazing) video, but are there any differences with setting up necessities in japan vs a country like America? (Doctors appointments, bank accounts, insurance, dentistry stuff, etc) does it all work similarly? Someone told me there’s heaps of paperwork all in Japanese😬
    3
  10976. I truly enjoy your videos....love seeing the cultures this way. And I started using Duo Lingo for Chinese :)

  10977. lol at the old man passing by xD awww he wanted a hug,you cold for turning it down xD savage level 999. but understandable..social distancing! :)

  10978. You inspired me to literally spend more time working on Greek (after seven years of scatty efforts). In one video you mentioned getting out of it what you put in (or something to that effect). So it’s at least two hours daily and wow—I’m making progress! Slow but steady! Thank you for the wise advice!
    3
  10979. New video !!!!! Good to see you !!!
    3
  10980. First time stumbling on your videos and channel. I must say that I'm impressed. I will definitely check out more of your work. I have lived in Japan back and forth for over a 15 years and I still get surprised by how nice the people are. Although I do get stared at a lot regardless. Helps keep me aware tho. 😁😉💯
    3
  10981. I'm loving how you're killing time in Tokyo! Also I'm going to ignore your story and stick to my long-held belief that your Chinese name was derived from the word 'Amazing'. :D

  10982. 10:38 all those sizes are available in the US as well. My husband used to drink those, and would buy the smallest usually, and only resort to the larger sizes on long road trips.

  10984. I cracked up whe you asked "Where's my money?" Tommy replied in Mandarin "None for you" then everyone busted up laughing. ☠☠ Then you said to your roommates, " that's the only thing he has learned". I am so appreciative that your still making videos Anming, thank you!

  10988. My cousins daughter had on her English test how to spell redsox like the sports team and she wrote red socks. She said the teacher didn’t make it clear and was really sad she didn’t get 100% on her test 😂 she speaks English fluently

  11004. The reason why people are surprised is because they start by speaking English to make them assume that they don't speak Chinese, so when they start speaking it, they're shocked.
    3
  11005. You speak two more languages than me, so feel proud that you speak fluent Chines and Japanese. You have a perky personality and narrate well, and I like Pearls, so that got my attention at first, I thought it was a video about pearls.... :D

  11006. Oh man. My entire childhood in one video. Only thing missing from the Michigan basket was Faygo Rock n' Rye. I grew up and worked in and around Detroit from the 70's until 2007. Haven't been back since but there's a lot I miss. Especially there being a White Castle within 5 miles everywhere in the state. If you ever get a chance, feed that young man a bag full of sliders with extra onions.
    3
  11007. I subscribed to your channel near the beginning of the pandemic when you were "stuck" in Japan for the time being. Everything was so unsure but now you're engaged and seem so happy. Just goes to show where life will take you. Congratulations 🎉🎉

  11012. I’ll be danged if I know how your husband retrieved his passport after leaving it on the plane. I left my wallet. They would not let me get it, they did not look. They just said the cleaning crew would get it and turn it into lost and found. By that evening, it was found all right. Someone started using my credit cards. No telling what’s being done with my I D. Tommy, your a lucky guy. Sorry bout the Apple Watch.

  11013. I'm half too. I can totally understand. Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in. Not Japanese enough, not American enough. I'm just me

  11021. I enjoy your content and I am going to give the language a try. Thank you

  11022. Lovely to see you engage with so many people. I wish that I had your language learning talent. This year will be my year to finally visit Japan. Your Korean language skills are improving at a very impressive rate. Very nice to see. I’ve been watching a lot of Kdramas lately so I do notice some small things jn pronouncing some of the words but what do I know 😂 that’s purely based on Kdrama lines! I did wish that I’ve watched those when I visited Seoul back then. So many things that I could apply when attempting to engage with people. Korean people are lovely though and very helpful and understanding. 😄
    3
  11023. I went to the Yamasa Institute in Okazaki. Very friendly teachers and great staff. I was attending for a month every summer during vacation until the pandemic. It was great fun. I hope I can return once more someday soon.

  11024. Congratulations! Wish you both well! ❤️

  11025. Excellent video, Anming!! Please do more about your life in China, studying at a Chinese university, how you got along (and didn't) with your classmates, dealing with the Communist majority, etc.

  11026. Damn, you are unstoppable! I see myself speaking & surprising people very soon, I guess that is coming soon:) Thank you Anming:)

  11030. Well that was amusing. Where do I begin? Let's go with the weird experience in the bathroom. I can totally see a mistake happening with other users for that one! Also, always great to have sarcasm in narration. One of the things that I thrive on!

  11031. Thank you for uploading such a touching video, Ma’am! I live in SOUTH Korea and I miss Osaka and my Japanese Friends. Your video reminds me of my good moments in Japan. Thanks again and best wishes from SOUTH Korea!

  11032. this is the experience I'm looking for!!! I'd love some day I can go to Japan and live those kind of experiences You're lucky ^^ And I love your videos very much <33
    3
  11033. Love what you're doing, and I've watched you for some time. It is indicative of the weak to trash someone on looks, what their trying to accomplish, telling their story, etc. I recognized some of their voices too. They are not even as linguistically proficient as you...just hating.
    3
  11034. You’re doing a great service to society. I love your videos on China as well. You are no White Monkey CCP Shill like so many western travel bloggers have become.

  11035. So, I'm unfamiliar with the ranking system for fluency. What level am I if I can speak Spanish like a brain damaged baboon who knows only the present tense and must always apologize for my lack of "ustedes training?" Fun fact: I was raised at the San Diego border, and my accent is astonishingly good. It's always fun to get into a misguided conversation with a native hispanoblante who quickly learns I was serious when I asked to be spoken to "como un niña con cuatro años." I'm guessing I'm an F-3 or something. Roast me.

  11036. I'd rather live in Japan then China bc I love Japanese foods 😁

  11040. Aw man, just watching you do this made me feel a little tense, might've even blushed a little. Need to put myself out there more so I can improve my social skills, but it's hard to start.

  11041. I love your asian name Anming. It’s cute and elegant like yourself.😍

  11051. Yabusame in my opinion are the best horseback riders in the world. They come to Hawaii every year and once back in the late 1990's as a testament to this, the ranch famous for weddings (Kualoa) provided the horses and the management decided as a joke even if someone got hurt to have the Yabusame ride the worst group of horses they had that the regular ranch hands couldn't deal with. To their embarrassment the Japanese riders having never rode these horses before, made the horses do everything they're supposed to do in only a few minutes right in front of a big crowd. Now here's the clincher...these riders were not your everyday ranch hand cowboys. They were the typical looking mild mannered Japanese suit wearing office workers with no time for riding horses everyday! They're focus could be seen in the horses eyes at a full speed gallop and the archer office workers were incredible! These office workers only ride horses "once a year!"I wonder if this gentleman long since retired were one of them...they were awesome! "Cultural appropriation" Hawaiians have participated and became part of and accepted in representing the Japanese community in SUMO Wrestling. And there are many Japanese that have taken in the Hawaiian Culture in teaching Hawaiian Hula Schools.

  11060. To reiterate the impact you have. This is not about showing off your language skills even if some people might consider it that way. You're smiling, the people you are interacting with are smiling, and you're showing.. Good language study can bring people together via language. I think it's fantastic you are sharing this publicly and it might encourage more of the same. I subscribed to you today, but I really do encourage you to make more of these videos, surprise more people how a born American took the time to learn their language. It brings the world together and brings down walls. Keep up the great work and keep doing what you do, regardless of what anyone thinks.

  11061. Four languages. Leaving the question hanging: English, French, Japanese and......?

  11062. You are awesome

  11063. so beautiful wheb you're able to communicate wih people in their own languages.
    3
  11064. Nice work! It’s a pleasure to see your “minimovies” I have also noticed that there is a “style” emerging. Keep always this Anming point of view! I like it. It is culture with a smile, brava! (Italian word) I couldn’t resist to use it 😉
    3
  11065. I both admire your directness and I am scared by it too. Awkwardness is definitely a barrier to language learning for me.
    3
  11066. I think it's funny how Finnish really doesn't have a word for please. For example: " Please let me (go)" Would be " *ole kiltti*, päästä mut" Ole kiltti just means be kind (ole - be, kiltti - kind) Or "Can I have a glass of water *please*. " "Voinko saada lasin vettä, *kiitos*" Kiitos just means thank you. These days especially teens can use "pliis" though. It sounds basically the same as pleace but that's just the way we would write it. Even then when like for example begging for something (like in English you just repeat the word please). Kids and teens might say "pliis pliis oo kiltti" which is please please be kind. I don't know why be kind is our version of please hahaha. Also as a Finn I'm very guilty of teaching my foreign friends useless Finnish words. Like the only word one of my friends remembers is holy potato (Pyhä peruna) hahaha

  11067. Congrats on pushing past your fear and enjoying that time with your Fiancé. This is still something I haven't done and plan to do, the next time I'm ever in Japan. Being in the military, I well got over any insecurities in public bathing, don't have much choice :D.

  11083. Have you seen the movie “The Memoirs of a Geisha”?❤️ (I think you would love it) great movie. With being quarantined I have been binge watching your videos they are really informative and entertaining to watch😊💕.The man pulling the ride looked very friendly and talkative which I find to be very nice and comforting. 👍
    3
  11084. I use to watch an spanish youtuber that lives in japan she talked about that and if some nanpa approaches to her she just speaks spanish or english 😂
    3
  11085. meanwhile the husband speaks some chinese an no one notices 😂 😋 i love how much fun you two have travelling and dpeaking different languages its great
    3
  11086. I've only ever met one polyglot. I used to have a Dutch gf years ago and her mum could speak 7 languages, 6 fluently. I can honestly say she was a polyglot because she was employed by the police as an interpreter, and I guess that to be an interpreter you need a certain level as you could end up in court giving evidence. At the moment I'm really trying (very badly) to acquire Polish. It's going to be a long journey.
    3
  11087. This is fascinating to watch, and impressive that you have conquered conversational Chinese and Japanese! I love to travel and love languages - I learned conversational Spanish from scratch backpacking through Mexico and Guatemala for about a year. I have considered the idea of retiring to a non-English speaking country (still many years away), and you’ve reinforced the idea that it is doable.
    3
  11088. This made me smile. You’re energy is infectious. Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

  11092. Thank you for telling this. So very very very interesting. Love to you all.
    3
  11093. Thank you for covering this. My takeaway: besides all the excellent points already made, I'm starting to wonder if this hype with digital language learning tools is doing more harm than good. I'm rather old, and had to learn three foreign languages simply due to my biography, and I'm on native speaker level in one of them, and C2 level in the other two - not because I'm such a genius, but because I had to live and work in those countries. I learned all of them at a time when the internet either did not yet exist, or was still at its early stages. Today, I'm a bit puzzled by this over-the-top psychologization and overcomplication of language learning. Just bloody get on with it, but be aware that it'll take you years to get good at a language - no magic app or online course is going to change that fact.

  11094. great video

  11095. ❤ you are my favorite multilingual youtuber! Because you spread joy to everyone you speak to!

  11096. I am in California trying to re-learn all 3 languages - which I took in high school, but basically forgot 90% of it. I still am able to do a wicked "imitation" where my pronunciation was so good that I fooled a Chinese camera crew into thinking I was fluent, and impressed 6 different young traveling girls who were here for English studies - evenly divided into Chinese, Korean. and Japanese. The Chinese girl, who was very attractive (as were the others) was also unexpectedly very bold. She basically did a cold approach to me at a bus stop. I was so surprised because I didn't expect this kind of behavior from an Asian girl! I remember she said once: "I am very proud to be Chinese." I spent several enjoyable weeks with all of them - wonderful memories.
    3
  11097. Omg i watched all your videos and now im in love with all your videos🤩. They are soo great!!
    3
  11098. I went through those experiences tasting and trying various foods in foriegn countries, and know how you feel. I tried Japanese natto and it was awful at first, but later got used to the taste -- it is an acquired taste that you learn to get used to. Natto has a very unique smell, taste and texture. It has a strong pungent smell, somewhat like old cheese or old socks. ... however, though the smell and texture may put you off, the taste of natto is really good! It tastes best when eaten with hot rice, a tinge of soy sauce and chopped green onions.

  11099. "I'm not considered to be that pretty in my country" YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

  11100. Great video! I would love to hear the Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese own thoughts and feelings though about what it’s like for them living in Japan and what they think the relationships between them and Japan is like. I know it’s a very broad topic but that’s where I thought this video was heading lol, I thought you were going to interview some of your foreign friends. Anyways keep on bringing the quality content :) <3

For the most part, as always stay safe out there! :)

    3
  11132. You and your sister are so beautiful funny and talented, thanks for doing the interview!
    3
  11133. Oriental Pearl, you are such a motivation for me and many language learners. Every time I watch your videos I feel so motivated and relaxed. I’ve been studying Japanese for 1 year and of course make many mistakes while speaking or writing. I really enjoy how you just get out there and speak with natives. It’s so inspirational! 🙏 whenever I feel stressed out or I feel like I don’t want to study. Your videos encourage me to continue forward and let me know that everything is a learning process while learning a language or anything💪
    3
  11134. Yea I watched a video of a guy on omegle speaking 12 different languages. But he really only knew a couple phrases in most of the languages. But he advertised it like he was having conversations with people so I was disappointed when I clicked on the video
    3
  11135. Congratulations! It is so exciting to see a new family to be born! We are an international couple driving to this point for over 2 years now. Pandemic really messed up our life and immigration process so we have to stay far away from both of our native countries, but at least together! We really feel for you guys. In our channel, we hopefully will speak about having our own wedding soon!!!
    3
  11136. Question, when is a good time to start and how long does it usually take to learn Japanese?
    3
  11137. "bunch of guys that don''t want to go home" lol soooo funny! you are more than likely right! hehe
    3
  11138. Love how when the Indian guy looks up your channel U press the sub 💯
    3
  11139. As a sansei American of Japanese Ancestry, I appreciate these videos as they allow me to see modern Japan as contrasted to the Japan I heard about in my youth from my parents and grandparents. As for cultural appropriation, my impression is that Japanese culture is treated and portrayed with respect, humility, and in the spirit of learning. My wife is haku-jin and has the same attitude towards not only Japanese culture, but towards the rather old-fashioned Japanese culture my family retains. These videos are enjoyable and interesting. Gambatte kudasai!

  11140. This was adorable 😍
    3
  11141. Hi Angming! Now that I have seen this video of you on stage, It started to ring a bell, It makes you more known in China. Isn't it possible that Chinese Communist party members or spies follow you inside and outside China to check if you are not criticizing the Chinese government somehow? You mentioned being followed a few times in your former video. Have you thought about this?
    3
  11142. Very nice video, and nice conversation between you guys! I however think that you missed a point: many people simply want to achieve a conversational level during their learning experience. And their could be many reason to that: lack of time, not the occasion of practicing often, or even just a general appreciation of the culture. Not everyone learn a language targetting a full fluency or polyglot level.
    3
  11143. What a beautiful creature you both are..
    3
  11144. I'm not sure if i can ever be friendly as you but I'm sure i will say at least hello to you if we ever cross our path. Arigatou for the great vid ;)

  11152. You are absolutely amazing with your 4 languages! Are you going to learn cantonese? Love your vlogs.
    3
  11153. Totally agree. I learned the most Japanese while I was visiting Japan during a few summers I spent there while growing up.
    3
  11154. So cool to have learnt all them languages by now. I'll be happy just being able to say 'hello' in 4 other languages.

  11157. LMAO the Russian comment always gets me
    3
  11158. I noticed that Chinese people are far more impressed when you talk in their language than Japanese people when you talk in their language, quite interesting honestly.
    3
  11159. Wow, the young folks there LOVE wearing very colorful clothes with lots of different patterns! Thanks for all of the tips you provided in the video- its always great to learn about cultural differences....

  11160. You would make a great ambassador. You should consider it someday. 12,000 to go pearl. Your channel is my favorite. Brings genuine smiles.
    3
  11161. So much stuff to learn in just one really really short video, thank uuu!!
    3
  11162. With Anming's charm and un-forced friendliness, this channel will soon be far more popular. I watch just to cancel out the madness that I see in the news everyday. Not as an escape but as an effective, temporary, tonic. May her subs proliferate! She deserves it.
    3
  11163. Fascinating!
    3
  11164. I hate when i go to America and they say "you speak great American" and i turn around and say " but i am speaking English" and it totally confuses the hell out of them. Considering that i come from England i think i know what language i speak. Its even more fun when i speak Cockney which is a form of London speech they just swoon all over me.

  11165. Adorable beyond words.

  11167. Spy! hahaha ha. From Kindergarten through about 3rd grade I was teased and harassed for being born in Bremerhaven Germany. I was born on a Army base, my dad was stationed there. So of course the kids would yell at me that I was a Nazi spy. ... But when that didn't work, they would say I was Ozzy's daughter and ate the heads off of bats and puppies for breakfast :( based on my last name, which isn't even spelled or pronounced like his lol. But sure...we're spy's lol
    3
  11168. Love this episode very much. The story telling, the editing and the music! Nice job!

  11177. Learning multiple languages Vs Mastering few languages, I choose the latter one because: 伤其十指，不如断其一指 😎

  11178. The intro is perfect when it comes to the idea of learning new language, not just words. He didn't understand what she said, but he heard the tone. It could be a mannerism or gesture that translates. The more we get to know each other the better everything for everyone will be. "People fear what they don't understand." X-Men taught me that as a child. Learn don't fear. P.S. I LOVE the Home Improvement! That was one show we watched together as a family 💙 As always from Detroit
    3
  11179. Love to see she takes the time and effort to speak to the locals and they are very friendly

  11180. Keep on going girl ! It is your channel. You rock.

  11181. Happy birthday! I love all your videos, they make me happy!

  11182. Please make your videos at least ten minutes long, or longer.

  11183. I've been going to Japan frequently as of late. Just last year, I went thrice. Around 3 weeks each. The language barrier has always been the problem. I know some Japanese, enough for conversation. The most difficult time I had was probably when my friend accidentally left his bag with his passport and belongings on the train close to midnight. I had to talk to the police and explain everything since I was the only one among us who knew any Japanese. They were very helpful and we managed to recover everything the next day. But anytime the conversation goes deep with a Japanese, I always run out of vocabulary to express more complex ideas. And I think that's why it's hard to make Japanese friends, unless you've devoted enough time to learn Japanese since the Japanese definitely aren't as open as other nationalities from experience.

  11184. I want to go to China so bad.. i am still waiting. I just don’t have the funds :(

  11185. That guy at 7:55 offering to be your next husband is pretty funny. The Japanese really do play the long game.

  11186. I think you begin to be fluent in a language when you are able to think in that particular language.

  11188. I learned english and turkish just by myself and no one cares about that 😂😂

  11189. Do you speak Cantonese? My friends from HK used to take me to their church and they had Cantonese to Mandarin translation. Then they would tell me in English. I read that Cantonese is more ancient and complex than Mandarin. So keeping it is important.

  11198. That was absolutely incredible when you used all the different languages in one conversation. Way to go! My brain would be so confused trying to jump from all those different languages. 💜

  11201. People care far too much about appearance no matter where in the world you are...
    3
  11202. Nah, right now there's hyperfocus on China/ Asia because of the current admin's politics, but the broader political problem is this idea of "globalism" as a substitute label, and justification for xenophobia.

  11206. ive been learning japanese for a couple months now. although im not as conversational as i’d like, i know im also still a highschool student which takes up a lot of my time. u and ur channel inspired me to start learning the language and with every video i watch i get a new boost of motivation so thank you for that!

  11210. You forgot one point. It's not because you're actually good at the local language but that you look completely different. That's why the endless compliments keep coming. You just stand out between them. I'm Korean, been living in Guangzhou China since the late 90's. I speak Japanese, Mandarin, Teochew, Cantonese and Vietnamese. As we look almost the same like them Chinese or Japanese, so nobody makes any compliments about my Chinese or Japanese unless you're still in the beginners level and can only stutter a few words. The same case happens in Korea and Japan and any other east Asian country. Nobody gives a shit no matter how fluent you are in the local language as long as it is hard for the local to tell the difference, especially from the outer looks. But when it comes to White or Black people, they all love to do that. America is like a melting pot where all kinds of different races and colors coexist, but that's mostly not the case in Asia.
    3
  11211. I would just appreciate the fact that you took the time to learn the language. we have people in the states that have been living here for 20 years, and cant speak a lick of english

  11212. She is absolutely beautiful. 😊

  11213. I love these nice conversations with people. I wish I wasn't so introverted and self conscious, it really hindered my language learning process.

  11222. I love japanese culture..and japan is my choice if i had a chance to travel abroad

  11223. I recognized you right away and was telling chat I have been waiting for this video because I wanted to see the comments. LOL
    3
  11224. I love to watch your videos. I am from Brazil living in US since 2005! Since I live in Florida, I speak portuñol a mix of Spanish and Portuguese. I would love to learn Japanese, French but don’t have a lot of time for it😅 I started Duolingo But is kind boring. Beijos, xoxo from me to you ❤
    3
  11225. That "stop showing off" comment at 5:50 may sum up the debate. You are genuinely interested in the culture of China and Japan, but others who are merely out to impress the locals have a selfish motive. Your motive shows respect, but the second - not so much.
    3
  11226. I totally agree with you! I am a native speaker of American English but practiced Spanish until fluency and in all of my MANY years (24, yikes!) of approaching Latinx people in public as a way to practice, I have never ONCE had a negative reaction. They are always so excited and at first, they ask where I am from. When they hear that I speak Spanish just from studying they get even more excited, just like the Chinese people in your videos. Typically, they tell me how cute it is. They always use that word "cute"/"lindo". Hahaha. People usually just really appreciate that a foreigner to their language and culture has an interest. It's a great way to make friends. I encourage any of you who are reluctant to please try and if you happen to meet someone rude please don't let that change your mind.
    3
  11227. I hope to be like you someday!! 💗 I’d love to become fluent in japanese and be able to have conversations
    3
  11228. Who are the 9 jackasses who give this a thumbs down? Anming (sp?) is the epitome of a genuine and kind human being. Her parents should be so proud to have raised such a great person. Every YouTube start up should have to consult with her before even thinking of starting a channel. You make a lot of people happy and being joy to many lives. Keep being yourself!!!

  11234. How did your cousin tackle the tones? I always thought they were one of the hardest parts of Mandarin
    3
  11235. Oh cool you've taken that hop, skip, and jump to Asaka. I've wandered around those parts a bit too, the canals/rivers are nice and it's refreshing to know that being just 15-20 minutes out of Tokyo can provide such a different feel and escape from the concrete jungle. Not the most comfortable weather to be out and about right now though.

  11236. I know you don't care much to hear it, you are really killing it lately! You are in the zone, it is amazing to watch! Your confidence level is just pouring through the screen :) 50K this week!!! :D

  11237. This is my daughter in Japan. She’s three. We have people breaking their necks to look at her because she’s the typical “blonde hair blue eyed” American but can speak Japanese phrases. It’s so cool. People here are so friendly and accepting. I wish America was more like this.

  11238. How sweet and considerate of them to take you to church instead. Instead of them expecting you to adjust to all their things, they seem open to working around their differences. Awesome to see

  11245. Nishinari is not scary at all compared to most countries in the world. Yes it is a poor district and quite dirty and messy by Japanese standards but still way safer than most cities in the world. It has become a very popular spot for backpackers and low budget tourists as the area provides lots of choices of cheap and westerner-friendly accommodation, and it is just one or two metro stations aways from the main tourist and shopping districts of Namba, Shimsaibashi and Tennoji. And by the way, the most famous+traditional red light district in Japan, Tobita Shinchi, is right in the neighbourhood. An absolutely amazing place to see in Osaka even though few or no tourist guidebooks mention it.
    3
  11246. Such a nice wholesome video! I am learning japanese, it was nice to see I was able to really easily distinguish when you were speaking it and even understand some of what you said in japanese. Btw, the original version of the portuguese styled eggtarts are called "Pasteis de Nata". Crazy to see how popular they've gotten!

  11248. I've really enjoyed a number of your videos! One thing I noticed is that the focus often leans towards your perspective in the conversation. It would be great to hear more from the other person and have the conversation be a bit more balanced and reciprocal. Keep up the great work!

  11278. I feel that it is a decent expectation that people should learn the local language when coming over to live long-term or permanently in a country. Obviously tourism is different, but I just think it a practical courtesy to learn the language either before, or as soon as possible after, moving to a foreign state.

  11303. I have been learning Japanese for about 3 months using Duolingo - I liked it initially as it was easier to digest and learn the basics than other learning tools and since I literally knew nothing at the time I started it was helpful. The leaderboard helped me get my practice from 5 mins a day to about 45 minutes a day, which meant I was learning at a fast rate. However, I soon found I was actually just trying to get to the top of the leaderboards instead of doing ACTUAL practice. So I agree, the apps might be a good easy starting place, but to get anywhere near fluency you have to talk to native speakers :) Now I participate in a livestream learning Japanese with a small group and Im going to challenge myself this year and start using HelloTalk - Thanks again OrientalPearl - this is a pearl of wisdom here :)

  11307.  @SarthorS  This is a common problem for all language learners when they learn from their foreign spouse. It's usually just cute. Some languages (especially middle eastern ones like Assyrian and Arabic) have more genderized language and its easy to mislearn parts of the language and it's a bigger problem. Japanese has more genderized differences than English but it's pretty minor compared to say Arabic.

  11308. She is so pretty. I wish I could have a girl like her.

  11309. I've just recently found your channel and honestly I'm enjoying all your videos. Please keep them coming as they are sometimes funny, and extremely entertaining and I'm learning alot about Japan.

  11326. First of all Anming. I can't believe your "friend" stood you up because it was "raining". Anyway...  Whoa! Coronel Sanders looks good as a Samurai. Ha!   Interesting fashion (for people and dogs).  The food looks tasty, and I knew that there was green tea Kit Kats but not ice cream.  Another interesting thing is the indoor Farmer's Market.  I already knew that Tokyo was crowded but dang! Those subways are REALLY crowded. Nothing feels better than to be butt to butt with someone else right? Not!  Cool straw hat.  By the way. How cool are the bonsai trees?  And finally, nice job filming in the mamachari. You're a pro :-)

  11327. I love learning about these experiences. I have always been fascinated since Shogun aired on national TV in the states around 1979. I am an Army brat and have lived in Europe. I greatly appreciate other cultures, languages, and especially the food. Thanks for making these vids.

  11328. 150K! 😻 すごい!! You work hard and you deserve it. I would love to see a video about your future plans once travel restrictions are lifted or maybe a "day in the life" type video. Congratulations! I love to see you doing so well 😄

  11350. I've studied 3 languages academically and 2 in my own time. But I'm not fluent in any of these languages, I've all but forgotten all the Greek, German and Spanish that I spent years learning. But I can adequately read, write and understand French, however I struggle to speak it due to a lack of practice in my 10 years if studying it and I regret all those years of dedicated study only to not be able to hold actual spoken conversation with other people. However I am much more proficient in Norwegian speaking, but nowhere near fluent in it due to my lack of vocab and not having learnt all the tenses yet. But I really hope to improve this over the next year as I'm finally finishing school and will have an entire year and a half for focusing on Norwegian. Unfortunately its the end of my French studies at a dedicated institute, but my main focus will always be Norwegian as it is necessary for my dream to live there

  11364. I used to go to a Mandarin school back then, but I left the Mandarin program because it was too hard and I wasn't learning very much. However this year I've started learning again!

  11365. As an American living in another Country (Portugal) I agree entirely that learning the language of where you live is so important. It is not easy though, no matter the language. Everyone learns differently and at a slower pace such as myself. Even after 4 years I do not speak Portuguese fluently but I always try and learn more and when outside I always have spoken in Portuguese never in English. To everyone learning just keep trying, its not easy task to learn another language and we are all different, some will learn faster at learning a language while others such as myself will take a long time but it will be worth it in the end.

  11367. I've watched an insane amount of content where Americans/brits travel to japan and China etc. Twitch streams and youtube videos- and none of them catch the heart and personability of the people that live in these areas. I love your videos so so so much! please keep making them

  11368. It's fun to watch someone with a positive like you. Thx.

  11369. I've been subscribed to you for a while now Pearl and your videos always cheer me up and are very fun to watch! You deserve way more than 1 million subscribers, you're AMAZING!! Speaking that many languages is a great achievement and seeing the reactions was great, thanks so much for your entertaining videos 💗

  11370. Honestly, at first I felt like giving up on Japanese at first after trying so many times and unable to really learn Japanese on my own. I’m now engaged to a half japanese man whose dad only could speak in Portugese and Japanese. Now i’m very motivated to make a good impression to be able to communicate with him and somehow my fiancé decided to learn Japanese after years of not studying Japanese (he grew up in Japan at first then move to US at 4.) He have forgotten how to speak Japanese so it’s very nostalgic for him to learn Japanese again and being able to bond with him through a language I never thought I’d go back to. This really makes me happy and change my life as well. Thanks for sharing the video, An Ming!

  11373. As a previous expat living in Thailand, I thought it was respectful to learn the language. Though far from your abilities I saw too spectrums. One was appreciation of speaking Thai when interacting with locals and them knowing I was trying my best. This was especially true outside the large cities. The other was speaking Thai and the local looking at me as to what was I doing and saying even though I was correctly conversing as Thai is a very tonal language. I knew I was a ‘farang’ (foreigner) but still enjoyed the language challenge. Continue what you’re doing and stay safe. We are hoping to get back to SE Asia next year, including Japan, if travel opens up from the US again.

  11375. Admittedly, clickbait can get very nasty in subtle ways (it can be racy, sexualizing, misleading about one's actual level or how fast one learns, etc.). But then again, that's clickbait... its purpose is to make people click the video, not to educate. But yea, I understand the criticism and I've already started trying to make my titles more objective/neutral. What I don't like about the criticism we usually get tho is when people take content that is created as mere entertainment way too seriously. Like, I never say I speak perfectly anything, yet people still say to me "you always say the same basic things"... and I'm like... "I can discuss philosophy and politics in Chinese but the people I meet in Omegle are not particularly interested in deep conversations haha, what do you want from me???". In general, the word "polyglot" is something people feel strongly about, some wanna become one, others just resent the whole idea of it. If you claim yourself to be a polyglot there will be an army of armchair linguists who will try to put you down lol. I don't know where all that visceral outrage is coming from, but probably not from a very nice place. We YouTubers need to reflect on what we do and take responsibility for our mistakes. Also, viewers need to take responsibility for what they consume and what messages they choose to believe... we all have a lot to learn from this controversy. P.S. I totally agree with you @Oriental Pearl, it feels sooo good not sharing everything that happens to us. The best reactions I've gotten from native speakers are reactions I will never share :)

  11391. Reminds me of an incident that occurred here in my hometown of Abu Dhabi back in 2014. I was 25, dressed in my traditional Arab attire, one that we wear here everyday. I was visiting a foreign friend living in a skyscraper in Al Reem Island, went into an elevator with two French ladies. Given that the whole of Arabia was never a French colony or protectorate, unlike the Arab states of the Levant, like Syria or Lebanon to the north, or the Arab-Berber states of North Africa, being Algeria, Tunisia or Morocco. They assumed this Young Emirati wouldn’t understand a word of French, let alone their private conversation to one another in French. One of them was nagging to the other, how her husband was no longer boinking her properly, but still asked to be pegged!! Mind you, I had my back to them, and was just holding myself really hard not to laugh. Suddenly, the sexually frustrated wife, turns her conversation to me, by uttering the following “I bet if I took one of those young local bedouins, I would be submerged with nothing short of orgasmic galore. But noooo, God forbid I do that, and Jean Baptiste finds out, he’s gonna take my kids away .” 😂😅 Anyway, as I left the elevator on the 36th floor I think it was, I parted the ladies with a few words in French, signifying to them that I understood perfectly well, every single word they spoke during our short elevator ride, and my God, I can still vividly see their faces 😅😋 I just couldn’t help it, I couldn’t resist not doing that at the very end, as I left that elevator, never to see them again in my life.

  11396. Hello, I'm a recent subscriber who started watching your channel a few days ago on a Youtube recommendation. I've now watched all of your videos, and I appreciate you trying to make the world a happier place in these dark times. I have a friend who lives in Portugal, and you've inspired me to learn at least a bit of conversational Portuguse for the next time I visit him :-)

  11397. “It would be a lot easier here...but then I might buy too much stuff, or eat too much.” 😂 True, there are some that have fallen into that trap.

  11412.  @OrientalPearl  That's true, you seem to travel a lot more than he does and go more in depth about Japanese culture and stuff, which i really like, while Xiaoma tends to just walk around his hometown surprising Chinese people. Don't get me wrong, I like Xiaoma too and what he does is cool, but I can definitely see the differences. I think some people compare you both because you approach Japanese people and surprise them with your fluent Japanese, as well as also talking to Chinese people in Chinese, so you're like Xiaoma but better (in my opinion anyway, I'm not hating on Xiaoma or anything, I quite like him).

If anybody can tell me the name & location I'd really appreciate adding it to my map so I can pay them a visit when travel restrictions are lifted, hopefully next year. Thank you all, hope you're well and happy! :)

  11419. I've only spent a couple weeks in Japan and everyone was very accommodating with my almost nil Japanese. I still tried to learn a few survival phrases so I didn't make it hard for the locals though. I think when it comes to getting directions from others, one runs the risk of getting the wrong information no matter what country one is in. Including ones own haha.

  11420. I've been to Martinique and Guadeloupe!! Beautiful islands with incredibly kind people :D

  11421. I really want to learn Japanese and go to Japan someday! The dream is to live in rural Japan, but for now... Visiting Tokyo and Harajuku are top of the list.

  11422. Thank you so so much! I have just only started to learn Chinese for the past 3 weeks and I have struggled to bring myself to say a phrase or two in Chinese because I was afarid of saying something wrong and getting embarrassed. But your videos really give me more motivation to learn and actually try to speak it with natives. And it's true, there is no need to be scared or anxious and seeing how easily you make conversation and interact with natives really makes me want to try too! Sorry for this long essay lol, but I just wanted you to know, thank you so much! 谢谢! Ps. Love from Belize!😆 🇧🇿❤

  11423. I LOVE your videos! So jealous, wish I could speak multiple languages but would never use them. l live in the Midwest USA and can't afford to travel. So I can live vicariously through you.

  11424. There must be 10's of thousands of people all around the world in travel limbo. We had people that were stuck on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in isolation for two weeks, then flown by our government to Christmas Island for another two weeks of isolation. I know of at least three passengers that tested positive to the coronavirus (but only had mild symptoms) and were flown to the hospital I work at and held in isolation for an additional two weeks. They are all fine now however my questions are; who can afford to not be at work earning a wage for an additional 6 weeks on top of a holiday? I hope our government paid for the flights and picked up the substantial hospital bill!

  11428. I've been brainwashed by decades of Anime and Japanese movies that Japanese kids are magical. I think I would be afraid of them. You'll be walking on a street and see a kid 10 foot in front of you and suddenly he is behind you, pushing his glasses up and saying, "ohmirah."

It means the stranger respect their language that much. So happy if you can speak several different languages at the same time. And switch the language that fast. Keep improve your skill.

My family doesn't really like the fact that I love learning Korean and love the culture and they don't really want to saport me with learning about it so when I watch your videos they make me so so happy. I feel like you shine a light one my dreams when no one wants to see them instead of feeling alone. Thank you so much you're so amazing and you've got such a gift. I am never gonna give up.

  11461. In my personal opinion, apps are good for brushing up, reinforcing, AND (very important here) if the language is close to your native language; my native language is Spanish and apps helped revive forgotten French, another Romance language. I know this will make you cringe, but I have been using apps for Japanese, though I am not expecting fluency from them. And you're right, talking to people is a killer for shy people like myself, and to me, its one step below in scariness level as bungee jumping, but I agree I'll need to do it eventually
    3
  11462. You are a good Soul!

  11468. One of your best videos, Anming!! I absolutely agree with everything. You all make such great points about why it’s okay to have two cultures as long as you’re respectful and not ignorant. Oh, and Tommy’s leather jacket was on point 👌🏻✨

  11469. Very excellent…keep up the good work - in the face of ‘haters’ I enjoyed the candor regarding passports; both of you ladies are correct about loving another culture as much as that which one was born into.

  11473. Konnichiwa!! I love your videos so much because it is a very genuine, informational, interesting, and I can feel that you love Chinese and Japanese culture.❤ I only know Spanish originally from NYC but you inspire me to learn Japanese and one day visit the country. I hope one day I get to meet you. I will be using Pimsleur to learn. Congratulations on your marriage! ❤💕

  11478. I was approached several times at that very same spot on Miyajima Island! I'm very Caucasian and was visiting with my Japanese American wife and our kids who are obviously mixed. I had quite a few Japanese citizens, as young as preschoolers and all the way to senior citizens, approach me while were in Japan. I unfortunately know little Japanese so it was really nice to communicate with them in English. Most would just say hello whenever we passed, but many took the time to talk. Many had visited where I live in Hawaii so it made for some really nice conversations. My family laughed because they always approached me, and never them! Everyone was so friendly that I don't think anyone was speaking poorly about us.
    3
  11479. I love watching videos like this! Thank You for sharing.

  11480. I have discovered your channel few month ago and been watching all of your videos, i really love your energy! I enjoy following through your journey with your friends and family and can"t wait to see what's happening next! take care! 🥰 (Hi from France!)

  11481. I notice that the fluency illusion as he calls it, gets completely destroyed when they try to speak swedish. It's just very basic fumbling introductory phrases said with the vowels and pronounciations messed up but it's barely intelligable that a polite swede who understand the gist of what is said will answer politely in simple language. But i also kind of think being a jack of all trades who does a handful of sentences and can communicate on a basic level casually is completely fine and impressive when extended to 50 (not to name names) languages say. the one i'm thinking of has been asked both by viewers and in videos by people he talks to why he doesn't go deeper into a language. And if your goal isn't to learn the language but to learn enough of as many you can so you can have rewarding interactions with people from all over the world. That's fine by me and if it's honestly admitted i don't feel like they are trying to fool anyone or doing it with bad intent staying with the same unnamed. Teaching "how to learn" so and so, can be perfectly fine as a start to offer students who are excited about starting and progressing fast in the beginning with their "quick half-fake learning" to quickly have conversations. Because those people are likely not gonna jump languages but want to learn specific languages and will only get their start from that fake polyglot, and will most likely study more deeply once they realize that the method is just a quick way to being barely basic in your proficiency.

  11483. Enjoy these series. I am glad you showing the rough parts of Japan. I love to visit Japan.
    3
  11484. Another very entertaining and cute video, please keep it up! I love content like this where you just go around speaking Japanese and show how Japanese people act.
    3
  11485. I will continue say it: You show and reveal your life in a foreign land and TALK to us while others put ON a show and PERFORM for us. That's just a portion of what makes you and your videos adorable and interesting!

  11486. I once wanted to meet a Taiwanese guy in Germany and it took me 2 hours to get to the town he was living in. He didn't show up at the station he told me to come to and he didn't text me for like 30 minutes. I was standing around and didn't know what to do because it took me so long to get there. Eventually he told me he overslept and that he would get ready. I had to wait another 30 minutes until he came to the station and he just took me back to his shared flat because he wasn't ready. The flatmate wasn't pleased, I was in the apartment. I just sat around for like 30 more minutes waiting for him to get ready and when he finally got ready he wanted to work out at the local gym (seriously). I didn't have any work out clothes with me and I had enough anyway. I just left without saying anything when he went to the toilet. I was so disappointed and I just felt super weird, I had to get outta there. One of the weirdest experiences of my life.

  11489. What a fun video! Well edited too. Glad you are doing well!
    3
  11490. I love your videos. They make me feel so proud of myself, because I poured so much work in speaking English fluently (my native language is Slovenian) and you remind me that learning languages can be magical.
    3
  11491. Looking good! Jessica's awesome hat and An MIng's horse-riding attire are a great combination. The "posture lesson" was pretty cool, too.
    3
  11492. Thank you so much Anming for all these videos that you're posting especially in these very difficult times! Really hope that your family is safe in Michigan and I just read that Japan has officially declared a state of emergency :( Stay safe and take care of yourself Sending you lots of positive energy and good vibes ^_^

  11493. Yours is probably one of the best youtube channel if not the best for japan enthusiasts❤️ Please don’t go back to China. 😁

  11494. This is the most American video lol and so cute . God bless you and your family .
    3
  11495. I feel like alot of people don't like to make a big deal out of it. Its the same reason I don't go around to every foreigner and say "oh wow your english sounds so great". To some, it might be a great compliment that makes them feel like their time/effort to learn a language was worth it and an affirmation that they are speaking correctly, but others might take offense as its rude to assume that a foreigner wouldn't speak well. On the other hand, my one friend from Japan constantly asks if his english is okay, heck its better than mine sometimes and its my first language
    3
  11496. That was awesome and you guys always make it funny. I would have probably had some difficulty in the swarm too, so that's helpful info. Thanks! Well done and hilarious.

  11497. Natto is just one of those foods where people either love it or hate it. New camera image looks great. Good lighting despite dim restaurant environment. Nowhere to go but up!

  11502. i know im reaching here, is there a possibility of romaji in the subs? sometimes its hard to pick out the individual words when theres alot of background noise.

  11503. I wanted to learn Chinese by myself, but I often lose motivation. Your videos motivate me!

  11504. 👍 Job on the archery 🏹 and Horse 🐎 back riding. Don’t let the Negative YouTube Comments about wearing other People Countries Clothing they wear ours to. As well as sell them in 🇯🇵 as well . They are just people who live where they are and not go anywhere with their own problems and take it on someone else who’s doing something and living somewhere else to. And they are hot 🥵 air to on social media as well. Hope you do a video in Osaka with the foreign residents who live there or do a local high school or elementary school talking to the students including in Chinese to. 👍⛩🌸🇯🇵🏹📸

  11505. Emi is sooooo adorable,!!🥰. Great job you guys

  11506. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on the Internet. I need to learn. They say it’s never too late. 🙏🏽❤️

  11507. Happy 1yr Birthday to you and your channel. This vid made laugh so much!! I love when you freeze the frame on a random person and quietly say ‘hi’ ‘hello’
    3
  11508. wow, i hope to meet her someday. Seems like an awesome person - Japanese archery (and how wildly different it is from western styles) has always fascinated me. Good luck with your youtuber career! I am hoping to get into streaming once I leave the hospital.
    3
  11509. But, But I am subscribed. You are right, I fully watch every one of your videos as you know, cause they are brilliant. I remember some of these hits from back when you initially released them. Well you accomplish one of your travel goals that you mentioned in this video, since you and Tommy finally made it to Hawaii for a vacation. This less structured view of Japanese students showed that the same types of students are in every class, no matter where in world. Additional footage made everything new.
    3
  11510. Everyone should go back to where they came from. They should never leave their own countries. Never experience another culture. Never understand another perspective on life. Nothing bad will happen... Right? 😉 I think people who say and think such reductive things, don't actually realise how much they themselves will miss out on. All because another person with the "wrong skincolour" dares to absorb themselves in a culture. It's quite sad really.
    3
  11511. I really enjoy your channel. So much fun. Keep up the great work..

  11512. Bringing them good vibes again :hand-purple-blue-peace:

  11515. 2:44 - You really do look Russian. Maybe your Ancestry is Russian or Eastern European? I mean all but Native Americans came from elsewhere.

  11517. The Jojo stickers on the motorcycle girl’s helmet, すご~い!

  11518. Bucket List - Go to Japan.... it's where my Geek self belongs - and it looks gorgeous. I am confused by how foreigners are perceived though. I guess if I learned Japanese (no easy task at my age) it would help I guess. Probably better to make friends with someone who lives in Japan and have them show you round. Anyway - Love your Vids. Subscribed.

  11519. Thank you for choosing to share this happy moment in your life with us! 🇺🇸🇯🇵 💖 You deserve the best of the best. You've shown that by staying on your own unique path in life, you eventually find the perfect mate. Much, much love to you both!

  11523. I just want to say that you have a wonderful bright personality, and obviously incredible language talent. But Anming you are certainly not the first to express feeling burnt out as a YouTube creator, so I just hope that you give yourself permission to stop if it ever gets to a point where your well-being is really on the line. Your fans love you, but please don’t force yourself to continue for us or anyone else.
    3
  11524. You’re video’s always make the worst of days better! Luv this channel and you definitely inspire people in so many ways. You definitely inspired me. Great this is such a great channel and so fun watching you’re journey as well as learning so much about 2 countries I want so badly to go to especially Japan! Thank you for sharing you’re journey with us and teaching people that the people in these two countries don’t hate foreigners…that they are so kind, respectful, and very much sociable. ❤️👏🏼

  11525. You have such a warm light about you Pearl, you should be doing interviews with the different kinds of people of Japan, today it's Rickshaw workers tommorow it could be Japanese Sumo wrestlers or welders sushi chefs sports people etc etc , although Rickshaw workers are truly lovely and quite fun too I doubt every vocation will have such warmth, although that has a lot to do with how you hold yourself too, as your character is quite infectious .

  11526. ive been to every place shown in this video, that makes it so interesting to see his reaction

  11528. Easy conversion. Just drop the last two zeroes. Roughly. So $36 usd

  11529. It's a compliment, because you made the effort to learn Chinese so well. And a surprise because you are a foreigner in Japan speaking Chinese. You will always stand out. (Opposite situation: "German Girl in America" on YouTube looks completely American and sounds that way too. If she didn't mention it, people would never know.)
    3
  11530. Woah she has amazing dancing skills! She looks so cool. I love how it always takes a little more time to figure out what ethnicities are in the mix of a person. It creates unique features and makes someone look a little different. This world can need more diversity and colour.
    3
  11531. Wow you speak japanase very good 😀🖒🖒

  11532. That Chinese lady should learn from Japanese on how to say thank you for buying her 油条! Wish you have a wonderful trip in Japan

  11540. Thank you both for this video! I smiled through the entire thing!!
    3
  11541. I am Chinese and remember being there with white people. I walked behind them sometimes or was just close, it was funny noticing the sneaky peeks and stares at them when my white friends walked past. It was interesting as it happened even in big cities like Tokyo and Osaka.

  11542. You’re so generous and sweet!

  11543. Your videos are very inspiring and informative. Thank you for making this content as it can be applied anywhere!

  11544. I'd like study in japan, because I love japan so much.
    3
  11545. I discovered your channel just a few month ago...and i think you're awesome! and the way you show the world how you manage to learn Japanese and Chinese, face obstacles encourage people to get on learning any language. I'm a big fan of your videos, please continue! I tried other "polyglot" videos and they are terrible.
    3
  11546. Oriental Pearl You have a lot potential~ I’ll keep supporting you!

  11552. I always love your outfits! I am very introverted and find it hard to speak Spanish to native speakers. So I love watching your videos and hearing you talk about how you built up your confidence because it inspires me to do the same. ❤❤
    3
  11553. Hi I’m Russian! I can see why they thought you’re Russian. :) I noticed that when I speak Russian here in America people always stare haha. Aside from the comment “What language are you speaking in?” I do occasionally get the comment “are you saying something about me?” And 99% percent of the time I am not lol.

  11554. Papa tkyo really does have a fun channel I would definitely reccomend it.

  11555. woow, you have no worried for toilet paper here. stay cheers and happy.

  11556. YOU have been missed Big Time Anming! It's is always such a pleasure to see the genuine surprise AND happiness of a person hearing and seeing a foreigner speak to them in their native language! That never gets old as it shows people of differences connecting and appreciating one another! That Taxi Driver no doubt is now Tattooed on your Memory Wall! What a sweet man! I truly hope "down the road" that you two hook up again and we get to see his pure joy when this happens! Getting ever close to a MILLION Subs in here! I hope those who cannot help in Patreon at least support you in here! Cheers to You and your Husband! Keep Smiling and Strutting AND Speaking The Languages! Cheers From Columbus, Ohio...Neighbor to your Detroit!

  11557. Hi Anming, thanks for sharing this moments with us. I could feel how happy you were in Arizona or maybe how you miss that in this moment, but you are following your goals and dreams, and carry on your life. Strong! I have to say no matter what you already succeed in so many aspects of your life for sure and also because you speak fluenty 2 of the most difficult languages in the world. Thanks for the tips, I am also watching kids cartoons at first. All the best for you

  11558. I don’t know why but hearing you speak Chinese makes me want to learn so bad and I love how it sounds. I’ve been watching you for a while but then stopped and came back today and omg 🥹💛💛💛👍

  11561. How can I find you on HelloTalk ?!

  11562. It's kinda of a funny thing, you understand why because nearly all of Japan is ethnicity Japanese so it's only natural when they see a British looking guy speaking C1 Japanese they lose their minds but that's got to be tiring to get that all the time can't imagine living your life in a place than some dude treats you like a tourist when youre culturally as Japanese as him, that's the big part of identity people always forget about its not the ethnicity that matters in these situations it is the culture you have engraved into your daily life
    3
  11563. seeing the two of you having so much fun makes me so happy. 😁
    3
  11564. This was so awesome to watch! I loved seeing this young woman's (and her family's) experience as a foreigner who is in so many ways more Japanese than British. Pearl, it's always so fascinating and enjoyable to watch you speaking in Japanese as someone who is a proficient non-native speaker of the language, but it is enthralling to see a westerner, who grew up speaking the language and living the culture as an ethnic native would. I hope you'll continue to do these videos, and, to help out, I am subscribing instead of being just an occasional, casual viewer of your videos.❤
    3
  11565. Your an inspiration to learn new languages ,my first Japanese lesson was a guy teaching on yt with a tiny white board on the front of his fridge,everytime a lesson was finished he'd have a beer and say Kanpai. Best wishes from Eire.

  11579. While it is surprising to see these homeless in Japan as it's something you just don't think about or see when you visit or think about Japan, I still don't think it's anywhere near as bad as in the USA or other countries. I was watching another youtuber who toured USA and isn't from USA recently talk about one of things he was surprised about the most is how much homeless there was, no matter where he went in the country during tour he encountered homeless people everywhere and didn't know USA had such a homeless problem but yea.. it's pretty bad if you actually look for it. There is also problem of a lot of homeless people claiming to be homeless/poor but aren't and actually make a ton of money panhandling. They put out a sign pretending to be homeless, collect a ton of money, then walk around corner to jump in their BMW and drive off. So they put a bad reputation on homeless here and I think most of us ignore them because there no way to know if they actually are homeless or not. for example if you try to give food to a homeless person they usually get angry with you and only want money, ether so they can buy drugs/alcohol or because aren't actually homeless they are just trying to make more money.

  11582. i'm actually wondering if polyglots help the the language learning community or not. the way i see things, most people start looking up to them after they realize the traditional method doesn't work. and, i don't think the vast majority of people want to learn 10 languages. everyone i ever met only wanted to learn one, maybe 2 languages. now, the problem is that, if you combine these 2 things, you get to the point where the goals of language learners change from wanting to learn just those couple of languages they actually have an emotional bond with to let's learn 10 languages i don't even want to learn just cause some polyglot said it's cool to do so.

  11583. Congratulations on the move and an even bigger CONGRATULATIONS on the 1mil sub button. Keep the content coming Pearl, Kind regards to Tommy xo

  11584. I wish i could travel and confuse people while talking either french english or japanese (well japanese i'm quite a newbie for now but soon i'll actively learn vocabulary and grammar... Gots some bases already), it sounds fun

  11589. It is nice to see that you volunteered yourself in nuturing these young Japanese. They are very dffierent from the teenagers some 20 years ago. When I was in Japan as a teenager for a exchange programme, teens were alot more reserved and shy, just like my countrymen. Too bad none of wants to visit my country. But the people from my country would die to visit Japan. I hope you'd visit Singapore one day. Cheers

  11591. When you hear the government announcement over the tannoy at the train station. It Sounded and looked like something out of a movie. You seem headstrong about it. At least you could distract yourself with browsing and buying some snacks. Purple Sweet potato kit-kats? They sound interesting? Don’t knock it, til you try it I suppose. Do you miss food from your homeland?

  11592. I used to like watching (RETROSPECT) man but also sorta disliked him for the same reasons. It's nice to see more channels with similar content minus the harassment ( if anyone can recall the time (RETROSPECT) man followed a group of people out of a store into the street trying to show off his skills while the group appeared to just want to leave from shopping )

  11597. Last year I used to arrive in Japan as exchanged student. At that time, I really wanted to go to Hakone because my uni is in Tokyo, not far from there. But generally, I had a great time in Japan. Now I want to come back soon and have a plan to apply for a Japanese graduate school. I think Waseda university is also a good choice. Thank you for sharing your story, I'm looking forward to watching more videos from you soon.

I know its probably far fetch you won't even see this comment but I will be traveling throughout East asia around May, it would be so awesome to be able to meet you and have another like minded and American who can actually speak the language to hang out with for a day. Either way keep being awesome girl!!!😁

  11610. Learning Japanese is something I’ve been thinking about doing for a number of years. This video has pushed me to finally do it 👍😃. My sister introduced to me to the Japanese culture when I was a child-she taught English there for two years back in the ‘70’s. She brought me Japanese children’s books when she returned home. I also studied Karate for a few years when I was younger as well. Studying the language is the next step for me.

  11618. That is so awesome! Congrats on your Korean! Rooting for you! I am so glad I found your channel. The biggest reason I watch your videos is because of your personality. You remind of me of my family friend who passed away two years ago. She also was married to someone of Japanese descent and was one of my biggest role models. You both have some similarities and lots of traveling vacations. I miss her! Thank you for your videos. You are amazing

  11619. Looks like a great trip.

  11620. Interesting the shots of the commute. Half empty trains. Never my experience on my pre covid visits. Is this due to people Working from home due to the Pandemic or is that more a Western thing?

  11621. I really appreciate you saying that these small transactions are not a good gauge of proficiency! It's really rare to hear someone admit that. And I'm glad that you also mention your accent isn't perfect. It helps put language learning in perspective for those learning. 😊 so they know they don't have to be perfect.

  11625. Very nice video! I think getting engrossed in two cultures is great. I've always thought that dual citizenship is a good thing. I wished China would offer the opportunity for overseas Chinese.

  11626. If you're a foreigner from a different country you should go Philippines it's the cheapest and absolute fun people can speak english everywhere you go friendliest people on earth try it

  11627. I knew a girl with this same disability in elementary school. I remember seeing her riding a bike and thinking it was impressive, because she only gripped one handle bar. I tried riding my bike with 1 hand and it was a lot harder then I first thought it would be. She was riding around completely normally, like it was nothing. It's amazing how human's adapt to living with disabilities, they can live life as normal as everyone else. Major props to this guitarist though, this is on another level.

  11628. Yes, she is lucky she had the camera running..

  11631. Not only is there love for y’all as kids, but your MIL is lowkey proud of you. I could sense it. No need for it to be said.

  11632. Move to small island to escape pandemic. Old houses in shirakawago were moved there from other places. Rain == good opportunity to run up nearest muddy hill.

  11651. hmm I think many Asians still have a feeling of admiring westerners, and feel a bit inferior. They used to have to speak English to get to know foreign cultures. What's more, because of years of inappropriate learning method, they are not so confident to speak foreign languages (only from a perspective of Chinese, I can't speak for other asian nationality). They are curious about westerners. So if a foreigner speaks their native language, they would be glad and even a bit honored? But in western world, many expect that you speak the language if you live here. What is the big deal! For example, in Germany I haven't experienced so much of a surprising reaction, when they say oh your German is good. They would even seem annoyed if you don't speak fast enough because they have no patience to hear what you have to say, let's say, in supermarkets.

  11652. I found your channel and subscribed during the first quarantine period here in MI. I remember watching this during that time. I'm glad I rewatched it today.

  11657. Hell yeaaaaaah

  11658. I'm sorry but the sound of you screaming while in the water with the fish, had me dying laughing. then you said " but that might be my own personal problem" hilarious
    3
  11659. Saw your recent post about subscriber struggles. Selfishly I hope you will keep at it. I am learning Persian and one day hope to be as fluent as you are in Japanese. You inspire people, don’t give up!
    3
  11660. Such a great sociology experiment.❤ Here in the USA we don't even bat an eye at anyone who looks from another country because it's so common to see differnt faces and hear different languages. Thy could easily be from here too..not necessarily from another place. I guess we should be more grateful here in America we are a mash up of so many faces languages and cultures. ❤

  11661. I love pigs ears, the color in my country (lithuania) of it is a bit different. But hell, it's delicious and crunchy. Altrought a lot of ppl dont like it :D

  11662. I like when you take me around town, looking a different things, and talking to people.
    3
  11663. I’m so happy for you. This was wholesome ❤️.
    3
  11664. Can't believe that you are still stuck in Japan... I remembered seeing one of the your video uploaded like 3 months ago you said you could get back to China... So it is May now... hahaha
    3
  11665. Ultimately, I love the collectivist culture in Asia. Everyone takes care of each other and is very respectful. That being said, don't agree with putting yourself down or not believing in yourself. I feel like it subliminally instills depression.

  11672. Man this looks so fun! You're so joyous and goofy its great! I've been learning German for years now but I think I may need to add Japanese to the mix and start traveling!

  11673. lol, "what's the worst that could happen, you might eat something you like, or you might get very very sick" lol you're sooo funny!

  11674. When she went to that "strawberry" stall and said "these are plastic" I was like 🙄 You were and been in China (for 8yrs like she said...) yet they gave her free. Foreigner/Caucasian really can "foreign scam" a lot in (SouthEast) Asia for sure 😆 Stay safe in JP. P.S. I miss that place - Garden Necklace - Yamashita Park & Chinatown - was there too last year when everything was normal 😔
    3
  11675. it will be so intresting ! pls do it !
    3
  11676. I'll be honest. Japanese people are overall nicer than Chinese. Maybe it's just me, most likely is. I also notice in my exp Japanese roommates like to keep where they live clean. My Chinese roommates don't seem to mind a semi dirty kitchen/bathroom. One roomie even complained to the weekly cleaning lady that she didn't do a good job when she came. o.O I bought a squigie for the bathroom floor to clean the water on the floor. Aside from me and my gf that uses it sometimes, the other 3 roomies never use it. They just let the floor be wet after using the shower. :(
    3
  11677. The American's I know don't respond like that. They might say "Thank you", or "you are very kind for saying that". Even if someone says you are very good at something, it can be very hard to accept. But, depending on the culture it might be kinder to simply say thank you. Any gifts you may have have been given to you by God, with the expectation that you will share these gifts with others. God deserves the credit, not you. This is a hard concept to explain, so we may avoid explaining that whole bit.

  11678. I'm from one of the southeast Asian countries. If I speak Japanese in Japan, I won't get as much compliments as you do. Not a racist comment, it pretty much a fact.

  11682. I've been learning Thai for a few years and Stuart is a legend. He just started doing an interesting video series using my friend David Martins 4000 Thai sentences. Great interview
    3
  11683. Wow it's been a long journey! I remember, when it was just chinese spoken and when you got stuck in Japan and learned Japanese, and now you go between five different languages these days. What a wild ride it's been! Always nice to see some wholesome moments too. Like when the Japanese uncle, went and got you guys some snacks. I'm also a big fan of how Cantonese sounds, the same way I love how the Kansai-ben is too. Hope you & Tommy are well friend! :D
    3
  11684. Good old American ear irrigation may be the fastest way, but the Japanese and Chinese traditional methods seem pretty similar. Interesting video!
    3
  11685. I'm so happy that I joined your channel. Hello Talk would be helpful if you want to make international friends and improve your language skill:)

  11689. Thank you for clearing that up. That was a learning moment for me. I still think you are awesome. Really enjoy your videos.

  11697. This is only one reason( out of many)why I want to learn how to speak Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
    3
  11698. I was at a language school in Sapporo learning Japanese one summer. My Japanese isn’t the best, but when I ordered beer and food at the summer beer garden festival in Odori Koen, I used the word onigishimasu after ordering. The Japanese guys behind me appreciated it so much, they bought my meal and beer. I feel when visiting a foreign country it’s always good to know the basics. You get to make allot more friends this way. I have so many great memories now of my trips. 👍🏻👍🏻
    3
  11699. Very happy to see your video after a long time 😊👍👏👏👏. Glad to see you and Tommy doing videos together. See you (viewer also after watching this video) got to know Tommy knows a little bit of Vietnamese 😄👍. Good luck on your Korean 🍀👍 Happy to see your mom as well 😃👍 ❤️As always Be You 😊👍 💕Lots of love 💕💖🤗

  11700. Just keep it balanced...but most importantly, keep a good work/life balance, too. As long as you enjoy your channel, and it shows in your content, your subscribers will continue to enjoy it, too. :) Wishing you and Tommy the best!
    3
  11701. Japan vids are popular now. Even more so due to the borders being closed and people wanting to see more about Japan I guess. I keep telling my buddy in Japan to make a nice scenic video or Japanese experience vid. He's got a family so he doesn't want to travel much to make videos..he's worried about getting covid

  11705. Very interesting. You're a natural, very talented but also authentic & genuine in your communication style, regardless of language. After you've learned Korean & Vietnamese maybe try Thai. Supposedly quite difficult but it's a very interesting & friendly culture. They always go crazy for foreigners speaking their language too so good for more You Tube vids. : )

  11709. Very interesting observation, I am a Chinese. Many people in China do work very hard only to earn a minimum wage. Considering how many people are there, the competition is just too intense. Unlike other countries, it is difficult to move abroad to seek a high pay labour job in other country for Chinese. But the good side of this is you can get by everything with a cheap price.
    3
  11710. I love seeing Tommy expericing all these things. I'm looking forward to more videos!

  11711. I really love your videos. I have been trying to learn Japanese 😅

  11712. God, you are so damn likeable! 🙂 This video was really interesting and explained a lot! Thanks. 😊
    3
  11713. To "Oriental Pearl": Some of the Youtube videos on Westerners living in China are a bit arrogant and shallow. I won't name them but I stopped watching them because they always made me feel miserable. It's not only you that thinks that. Keep up the good work. Your video is refreshing and honest.

  11716. at this poing there will always be people trying hard to find anything they can hate on something. I get if some people don't like those videos, but then the content is just not made for them i guess and i don't see a reason for them telling others "how bad it is"... but on the other hand there will always be people trying to push their opinions onto others.

  11717. Since the lockdown in England, Been trying to find some good content on youtube. Came accross your channel 2 weeks ago. Enjoying the videos so far.

  11723. Wow your amazing being able to do this! I am very shy and have social anxiety so just watching this makes my hands sweat....

  11724. This is your latest video at the time I'm writing, and it's really well put together. I think you can make a complete TV show.
    3
  11725. Well, I believe that the two you put together a very impressive bicultural ceremony. The Japanese and American elements of this day were obviously well thought out, and blended seamlessly which is analogistic to your relationship. I'm sure many bridal publications would have loved to use you both as models. Very stylish. The choices of your wedding attire were inspired and really picture perfect. Here I thought katana, yoga, and workout video's were just for content variety, when they were really wedding training. Your camera person got all the best shots. I'm sure that neither you or Kelly back in High School thought you would married to Japanese men when you planned to spend time in Asia. すごい, 美しい儀式.

  11726. Wow Yokohama is such a pretty place I love it!!😍❤️.. anyway, that could be a good idea to run away from these people who know you’re channel. as you mentioned in the previous video Lol😂😂😂

  11727. Possible reason for a Polar Bear on the maple kitkat: an attempt to connect both to Canada (Je suis Canadien). We're well known for maple syrup, and Polar Bears are on the two dollar coin (the Toonie). That would be my best guess.

  11728. What a refreshing and authentic take on life abroad as an American and the sometimes nonsense that it entails. I was asked once in the States when I went back "Oh...you have braces, where did you get them from, Mexico?" "They have braces in Mexico? How much were they? 20 bucks?" lol

  11730. This channel is so unique and genuine. I don't have any interest in learning Chinese or Japanese, but I find most of your vids entertaining. I really liked the intimate view of your house tour and friends, and I of course like the interactions, food and culture. You are very pleasant to watch and I appreciate how honest and genuine you are. You are a weirdo, and I love it...lol. You got a Subscriber in me. Also, patreon and merch... get it going!

  11731. I am Chinese American and I envy your fluency! I feel that when people tell you well you speak the language of the land, they are impressed to find that you are so intelligent and hardworking to learn!

  11733. Asians cant produce some kind of earwax molecule... that fact makes their ear wax completely dry. She is not used to European/American ears that have wet earwax... so its completely normal you don't need to visit a hospital... Visit the doctor just in case you have trouble hearing.

  11734. If anyone wants to learn Japanese I would recommend Marai Japanese <3 Duolingo is good for starts but will not help you in speaking the language well or understanding the japanese language :D I’m learning Japanese and through mirai Japanese I’ve learnt a lot! You can try other apps too! If you have any other good tips to learn Japanese comment them in this comment :D

  11736. You should look into a 2fa usb key, such as a yubikey. This means whenever you log into gmail for example on new device, the password isnt enough, you need the usb key too. You can also use this for password managers - I store my password database on google drive, so it's still protected by 2fa and look up a password manager. Im using keeweb, open source, multiplatform eg on laptop and phone. but feel free to do your own research

  11741. Toby is very handsome 💓and I love how free and happy you seem in his presence. My heart hurt watching you at the immigration office.😢 It made me so sad and scared for you. I’m so glad you stayed in Japan..I feel like that was the best choice.💕

  11742. Your Korean is at a good start so far, I think you mainly need work on differentiating the 어 (eo) and 오 (o) sounds

  11744. Amazing! You speak Mandarin fluently. You speak Japanese too ? That would be awesome.

  11745. Interesting to hear about your story! I've found myself living in China 5 years ago, though it wasn't back and forth from China to another place. Just entirely China with short trips around other Asian countries. By the way, agree that Chinese language helps to understand a bit of Japanese. Just recently got chance to see it myself

  11757. I love these videos!
    3
  11758. Oh that was interesting, when I visited Japan everyone was super kind and immediately used Japanese with me, and when they noticed I was struggling they went out of their way to try to use whatever English they knew. I try not to ask anything questions though lol. I would never ever ask for recommendations in English, actually I guess I wouldn't even ask for recommendations even if I was fluent in Japanese.

  11759. Im curious of the parks (athletic, state, walking) great video :))

  11767. You took the time to learn how they speak so they probably feel grateful. The older kids and adults anyway.

  11768. You definitely inspired me and I'm learning and trying to put myself out there more to practice a new language.
    3
  11769. I don’t know if you'll see this, but I just found your channel today. I'm so glad that I did! I’m currently learning Japanese (self-taught) and I hit a standstill. My brain just stopped absorbing the information I was studying. All of a sudden the kanji would get all mixed around and I lost motivation. I mention this because this video inspired me to continue!

  11771. Japanese are not sensitive about Weight(For men) they dont see anything wrong about asking that kind of thing and even make a joke out of it. I mean they are also people who love Sexual jokes you know.

  11777. Anming, I have been looking forward to today's live stream all week, and was even hoping to contribute to it in the chat. Unfortunately, work commitments meant that I wasn't able to catch the stream live (9 hours difference between UK and Japan), but I thought at least I'd watch it as a repeat when I got in. Whenever I try to play it though, it says 'removed by the user'. Please, please will you put it back up so I can enjoy it - even if you just put it back up temporarily and then remove it again. From, Steve in England, UK.

  11778. I love this kind of content <3 I can't wait to go there with a holiday working Visa and practice my japanese just like that, even if it sucks! Thank you for encouraging us :)

  11779. Seriously, I speak Spanish and Arabic and many of these people have super terrible Arabic. Imagine, some of these people even have awful Spanish. I am intermediate at Polish and they're worse than me. I'm a beginner in German and Turkish, so I can't comment on those, but I can imagine that it could be a disaster.

  11783. This is a fun video. I am 65 years old, but my English level is about the same as this junior high school student. If I talk to a foreigner I meet on the street, will they feel uncomfortable if I speak only words with gestures like they do? Japanese people are said to be shy, but I think it's because they don't speak English and don't want to make others feel uncomfortable.

  11784. Not only are you absolutely fluent in Chinese and Japanese, you have the skill to be fluent in Korean too. Switching between 3 difficult Asian languages is masterful.

  11785. Sound advice from an expert must be very helpful for learners. My feeble attempt to learn Bahasa involved a pocket dictionary and daily mingling with fellow workers. But as they all came from various islands their dialects confused the task. My motivation was mostly to be able to converse with women with the intention of "dating them" (a powerful motivator lol). After three years I was able to speak only at a low level of conversation. I've been told that I speak well enough but like that of a child (not exactly high praise).
    3
  11786. you don't have to look for "not shy" people to talk to. As you were shy before, you probably know that most of them would love to talk to you but are just too shy to talk first.

  11787. Big Big congratulations for reaching 100k. 150k before December. I bet $100. 😁 The work and time you put into your videos is unmatched. Keep Going 💪🏻

  11788. I swear when she switched to Chinese I thought I was listening to the 9/11 report on the news.

  11789. Thank you so much for this video. I hate the idea that to not be targeted for cultural appropriation you have to do everything according to where you personally come from. If I can't experience other cultures, won't that just makes things worse and divide us? It's always fun when your husband is in these videos. He's funny, and the laughter when he missed made me laugh as well 🤣 Thank you :)

  11790. I was shocked when I saw Steve Kauffman speaking Spanish and Portuguese. I know you can’t maintain a good level in 20 languages and remember the grammar after years of little practice, and I know he just learns languages for fun. I’m not judging. I just think his marketing is misleading. I can’t judge his other languages because I only speak those two, but I saw people say his Italian and German were also at very low levels. At what point is it wrong or misleading to market a business off of speaking 20 languages if a lot of them are at beginner level? (without clearly stating a lot of them are at beginner level) I also don’t believe in judging people with lower levels, because it’s not about perfectionism or gate-keeping the community for those with higher proficiency. Making mistakes is normal. Not speaking perfectly is normal. Poor pronunciation is not the end of the world. People can do fun week-long language-learning challenges or learn a bunch at the same time and it’s okay! I think some of the comments here are being too harsh or expecting that everyone have a C1 in 6 languages but some people genuinely just like to learn languages without that perfectionist mentalities. It’s just confusing when people aren’t humble or they get really hyped up for speaking tons of languages and it turns out they have an A2 level in them.

  11791. I like your vids being both a language and culture sharing channel, very fun and and interesting to watch. Especially the food part, I was having my dinner while watching haha Btw, I've read some other view's comments about teaching Tommy - perhaps you could like a compilation vids of you using random American slangs on Tommy and film his reactions lol... I've even thought of a title for you: '' White girl SHOCKS Japanese guy with American slangs'' 😆

  11792. Ok, Now Thats weird! Two white female talking to each other In Japanese.. Damn, thats awesome..

  11793. I'm nor Russian, I'm taking my time....

  11794. There's something so special about the Japanese/West interaction. So much respect for Japan and the Japanese people, and it's fantastic to see the adapting and communication across culture. Great channel, well done.

  11795. I say enjoy your new home and respect your birth home too. Don’t throw away your roots and who you are, but also embrace parts of your new home that you like. Don’t bash where you came from, ever! Be proud, be yourself.

  11796. I hope someday after 2-3-4 years, to be able to speak myself Japanese relatively easy. You obviously speak excellent and bravo to you for trying to learn this language up to this level. I just started, but you gave me more motivation....so... ありがとう for this lady 😋😊
    3
  11797. Japanese have few opportunities to interact with foreigners, so they are confused about what to do. Really just that.

  11798. You can try making omelette rice. I think it is easier to make than dumplings. Crack 3 eggs, whisk then cook omelette in butter and some milk. For the fried rice, use chicken strips, scallions, green onions, soy sauce. It's was tough to learn cooking at first but I got interested in doing it after watching Masterchef. A passive recipe (like you just throw everything chopped up in a pot) you can try is chicken soup: whole chicken, ginger, vegetables of your choice, salt and soy sauce. Bring up to boil and turn down to low heat to let it simmer for 50 min.

  11799. Japan deserves major respect , apparently some friends in my current school who are koreans and they just have issues when i mention japan or anyone mentiond japan in front of them , apparently its cuz of history they say

  11801. As one of your viewers I originally thought that the film maker guy was just nice, but watching it now.. OH NO. haha
    3
  11802. Thanks for this video! I’ve assumed I’m just bad at languages. I’ve been working on Greek for several years now with slow progress. I suppose language videos with false claims and clickbait have influenced me into thinking I should be faster when listening to you I realize what I need is to put more time in! It’s kind of obvious in retrospect! :)
    3
  11803. Absolutely. I've learned a bunch of languages and looked into lots myself. Barely can I claim to be fluent in any but English and my mother tongue, German. Most others I can recognize well, and I can still understand Latin because I spent years on it in school, though the ones I got into later - I am rated B1 in Swedish and Dutch, which I learned at university, and had a bit of French, Russian and Spanish - are on a very basic level. It takes years to reach a level of just medium even. So all those claims are crap. Same thing in my profession btw, which is software development. Creating a little website with a little hello in it is also nice, but surely not what you need to develop an actual application.

  11804. Nice video putting a lie to that all statement that all Japanese are too shy to talk to foreigners. I had never found that to be the case, and my Japanese is far less functional than yours. I really enjoyed this little sojourn of your and your brothers trip. Do you see the family resemblance, that would be a definite no. Really enjoyed this, as I do all your videos. Thanks.

  11805. Jess is such a doll!

  11810. Not sure if you know but you should always make the video at least 10 mins minimum.. it’s better for growth and more ads to help support you through this time.. if you care or not.. blessings lady

  11814. 6:49 "Reaally?!?" Loved it! Indeed, the manga culture can sometimes go a bit too far. P.S. gorgeous hair. For a Japanese hair stylist it should truly look like gold!
    3
  11815. I was almost about to give up today or learning Japanese but then I saw your video and I'm like damn I'm going to push myself now lol 😂 .... But I love following your Instagram because I get to see first what you go through and then you put it on the video which is 20 x kaio ken better!!! 💙

    3
  11820. I love watching your videos. Not because I want to learn Japanese but because of your English is easy for me to understand and I like how you always provides English subtitles in every videos. I know there are many English video tutorials but they're boring😂

  11827. i can’t believe these people are saying such horrible things as if your hurting anyone or doing anything wrong. it’s ok to want to learn about japanese culture, at this point their jealous of your success. keep doing what your doing !

  11830. Your videos are awesome. Have you ever come across a child that is lost,you speak to the child in their language and watch their anxiety melt? This adult can help me ! Do you ever confuse yourself ,changing from one language to another? Do you only use Japanese in the Advertising industry in the work you do ? When you speak English,it's almost like I can detect a little German accent in certain words, possibly Russian.

  11836. In from Mexico, in a frontier city, so I'm used to seeing my fair share of foreigners and people of all races and nationalities. But my little cousins from another state are not. Only exception are Chinese immigrants, because a ton migrated to Mexico, so much so my last name is Yin🤭 Long story short, my dad's old friends were an African American family and my uncle had a gf from Lithuania, she was so white and her hair color was a natural white blonde. My cousins were shocked. And we were MORTIFIED when they asked if they ate too much chocolate and vanilla ice cream respectively!😫

  11837. Hey Pearl 🦪 I always love your videos 🧋 Japan always amazed me and I'm definitely going to visit it in the coming Time. I hope to meet for a moment, for Sure 😁 Keeps showing us some Good places around. Take Care 🤗 God Bless You 🍀

  11852. Stayed at an Aloft a few months ago, was pretty cool actually
    3
  11853. My goodness. Keigo melted my brain when I was learning Japanese in college. I've pretty much decided that it's almost impossible to learn without being in Japan in the context of needing to use it. Amazing video, Anming! I would love to see more videos about business life in Japan!

  11854. Katie is such a beautiful girl, and I loved the kimono dance. Very cool!

  11855. A country that has SUMO wrestlers being rude about oversized people -pathetic

  11856. I love HelloTalk! Using it is difficult for me because I don't have much spare time, but I do connect with real people there. I haven't found native speakers available near me but the chat feature is a good fill in for that until I do. Also, the record feature works for me to talk to people if we can't meet up in real time. There is always a way.

  11862. My cousins are half Japanese half American. ( American half being Swedish, Irish, and Spanish. Yes, I know, we're a crazy mix). My aunt is from Okinawa. She only spoke a little English, of course she has become fluent over 48 years, but we learned a few phrases and words to help her when I was growing up.

  11863. Im so happy for you, greetings from germany :)

  11864. i just found you on my youtube recommended page and i've been binging a lot of your videos and have subscribed! even though I don't speak chinese or japanese, i live in singapore and listen to a lot of chinese and dialect (i understand a lot of bad words LOLOL) and this content feels very familiar to me. the whole multiculturalism of your videos draws me in and is familiar to my home country. :')

  11865. I was always impressed with how nicely the people are dressed on the scooters when I visited Saigon. Also all the taxi drivers wear white button up shirts and tie. 👔

  11866. Exceptional abilities appear to be a superpower to some and then are willing to pay someone to acquire those skills as a shortcut to mastery. Here is an example from 2000 years ago: Acts 8:17-24 KJV [17] Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. [18] And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, [19] Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. [20] But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. [21] Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. [22] Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. [23] For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. [24] Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

  11867. There's a saying in my culture "kian berisi kian merunduk" basically means "The more knowledgeable you are the more humble you be". I think that what reflects on the guy. Perhaps he doesn't wanna show off or simply doesn't want anyone to realize the he is a polyglot.

  11868. Maybe interesting. . I have been wondering for quite some time whether mathematics is a language. . All languages move from reality to speech to writing. To learn to write in any language, you first have to learn how to speak it. This is why there are several languages we have the writing of, but we cannot decode it, because we do not know either what sounds the tokens of writing stand for, or we do know the sounds, but we do not know the meaning of the sounds. . In any case, all languages code reality in the following manner: . Reality -> Spoken Language -> Written Language. . With mathematics this is different. There the order is: . Reality -> Symbolic (written) Language -> Spoken Language. . Moreover, you have many fields in mathematics. You have number theory, field theory, algebra, geometry, group theory, linear algebra, differential geometry, combinatorics, geometrical algebra, Minkowski Geometry, Tensor Calculus, propositional logic, predicate logic, Riemann Integration theory, Lebesgue Integration Theory, linear differential equation theory, partial differential equation theory, set theory, measure theory, .... . Each of these different fields has its own symbols, and these symbols are spoken with their own words. Each is therefore a language. In group theory, for example, you have terms like commutativity, which stands for ab = ba or a+b = b+a. Or associativity a(b+c) = ab + ac. You first learn to write the symbols, and only when you are skilled in that, you learn to name the formulas by the patterns encoded in them. . The reason why mathematics is so difficult, is that you have to learn to make a switch. Instead of starting with reality, then going to words and sentences having meaning, and then writing it down, you must start with reality, then translate that what you see directly into written symbols, and then invent words that stand for the formulas, or the patterns in formulas. . If somebody has difficulties with mathematics, then not having made this switch is the reason. . It is much like chimpanzees. When investigators tried to teach chimpanzees to speak in sign language, the biggest hurdle was to make clear to a monkey the difference of: 'John sees Mary' and 'Mary sees John'. In other words, two sentences consisting of the exact same sounds have different meaning because the meaning is not just in the sounds, but also in the order of the sound. That is, in the rules of grammar. Chimpanzees were used to connect things in reality directly to sounds. To learn sign language, they had to sever this direct connection of sounds to reality, and only then they were able, with great difficulty, to express meaning in the order of sounds. . The same happens with mathematics, You can only learn mathematics, if you can break the connection between spoken language and reality, and put symbols in its place, and only then connect the symbols to sounds. . I have mentioned all of these various mathematical subjects above. Each is its own language. A typical student of mathematics studies about 8 to 10 of them. This means that every mathematician on a graduate level is a symbolic polyglot.

  11873. I've been leaning French for a year and a half now and I love it, I'm taking it slow and not putting any pressure on myself. I would love to learn Japanese one day and it's amazing watching you guys speak it!

  11874. I love seeing the delayed reaction. Especially, AFTER they've already responded to your question.🙃. Or they get toungue-tied coz they've already prepared to answer in Japanese/English.😆

  11875. thats it. I'm going next year!

    3
  11887. i’m still watching but kinda loose hope of being fluent in the language...time is my biggest hurdle i should say. Everyday i think of ways to study but i do end up halting because i need to go to work. If only there is a way that i can work in Japan so that everyday i get to live the language. i hope you do get what i mean. By the way I wish nothing but the best to your channel 👍
    3
  11888. Anming san. This video is absolutely incredible for me to watch but the Japanese people are versatile and much more impressed. The reason why i want to learn Japanese is to learn the difference between Japan and UK which is where im from. But to me Japan is a country where I have to go to learn the culture and traditions there. I really love Japan so much!
    3
  11889. I've been studying Japanese more seriously over the last few months and it's been great. I've watched a lot of anime over the years and none of it was in English so I think that's helped but even in studying Japanese I've learned a lot about english grammar as well.

  11890. 😂 she is doing Nepali dance and the instrument she was talking is called “benayo” it’s like a mouth harmony. Maybe she got invited to nepali restaurant cause nepali people had festival last week. And she is also wearing Nepali hat 🎩.

  11896. Your question about the coca cola tasting different when it’s in a glass bottle reminds me of one time I was staying in a hostel in South-Korea. I really like collecting unique looking things and at that time there was a collaboration going on between Coca Cola and BTS where there were really cool designs of the different members on separate cans, so you could collect them all by going through random konbini in alleyways. Though at first I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to take them back home without damaging them on the flight back, so I decided to only take them home if I managed to find all of them. I wasn’t sure if it would be better If the Cola was kept in the cans for transporting, so I just left them unopened on the floor of our hostel as we found some more every other day. In the end on the last day of my trip I somehow managed to find the last two and so I decided to take them home anyways, but then I thought it might be best to empty them just in case they might break and leak everywhere. Not wanting to waste all the drinks I decided to drink one... quickly realizing it tasted like straight up metal 😅 Shortly after realizing that those cans had been standing on the Korean heated floor for almost an entire month 😆😂 So maybe the can changes the taste from the Coca Cola in that way as well after some time 🤔 Unlike the glass bottles~ 😊 That was a long story to get back to your point so sorry about that 😊😅 but I loved this video and I totally agree with your point on staying at a place with roommates vs. staying somewhere all alone ^^ sure, having your own place to stay at gives you some freedom, but staying with roommates gives you new opportunities to meet cool people and go to places with them which you otherwise would have never visited maybe~💫

  11915. This is why u never talk about someone in a different language assuming they can't understand everywhere I go even tho I'm chinese but because they hear me speak perfect English they assume I can't understand so I can hear everything people say when they assume that
    3
  11916. I work as an English teacher in Japan, and part of the fun of that is meeting the 1st graders. They don't seem to have realized that it's possible to learn to speak a language other than the one used in your birth country, so their little minds get blown the first time I speak Japanese to them. Their rational is usually that I must be half Japanese. After that, they speak to you like they would any other adult, which can be a bit troublesome when it comes to those kids that ramble on and on and you have no idea what they're getting at!

  11921. Japan. Quality over quantity my friend. Food safety is very commonly overlooked and, even if you have travel insurance, getting sick means less energy and time to enjoy your trip. I have eaten from both street vendors and restaurants in Japan and never had any issues. Cant say the same elsewhere in the world but I also find that street food in Japan is actually quite expensive compared to restaurants.

  11922. After WW2, there were many American Military men in Japan. I'd like to hear some stories from that time.

  11923. Excellent video thanks for sharing.

  11924. I think the true difficulty of finnish lies in the translation. I can see that u all r very intelligent and beautiful ppl, fun to watch! ☺️💕
    3
  11925. Excellent points that you both make. I've spent many years on and off learning German. I'm not fluent. I can be "fluid" in holding a conversation where I tell new Germans I meet, the same story about myself that I tell everyone - in German. But, beyond that, it becomes apparent rather quickly that I am not fluent. However, to a non-German speaking person, I may sound fluent. I've also spent lots of time, in and out of classrooms, learning Spanish, American Sign Language, and Japanese (which I've forgotten almost completely!). It's incredibly hard and time consuming just to become proficient with my native language English and one foreign language. A difficulty I had learning German, after having had 3 years of classroom-only experience, was that most Germans under the age of 30 (I was 18 back in 1973 when I was living and working in Germany/Switzerland) were really good at speaking English and wanted to practice their English with me, without giving me much of a chance to use my German. So, I really liked running into "old Germans" who preferred speaking German with me even though they knew some English. Another difficulty was that I spent about 7 months working in southern Germany and Switzerland where they spoke heavy German dialects (not an "accent", which many Americans tend to confuse) which I could NOT understand, guess at maybe. They could understand my "High German" though, and would usually try to converse with me that way if they chose. The other problem, and something I never hear mentioned about learning any foreign language, is the assumption that just because a person speaks their native language, that they are speaking it correctly! It's just like when I speak with native English speakers here in California. I hear so many incorrect terms, bad grammar, bad conjugations, and just sloppy speech. If you , as a foreign language learner, are mimicking the native speaker's poor rendition of their own language, it just makes it more difficult to learn to speak a foreign language correctly, and later to unlearn the "mistakes" you pick up along the way.

  11926. It was good seeing somewhere that was a non major glitz and glam city in Japan.
    3
  11927. Allright, I will teach you a finnish tongue twister. it goes like this: "Appilan pappilan apupapin papupata pankolla kiehuu ja kuohuu. Pappilan paksuposki piski pisti paksun papukeiton poskeensa." and a rough translation of that: Appila vicarage's assistant pastor's beanpot is boiling on the stove. The vicarage's fat mongrel ate up the thick bean soup. kuohuu = kiehuu, 'boil' paksuposki 'fat', literally 'thick-cheeked' pisti poskeensa 'ate up', literally 'stuck in its cheek'
    3
  11928. What's fascinating is that Katie's English has a Black American accent. She really picked it up from her father. Her inflections sound 'black'. Not 100% I've heard white or other races speak with that urban accent when they live in certain areas, but close your eyes, and you suspect that she is a black girl. So HOW does Oriental pearl go looking for someone who speaks great American accented English like her and is both young and PRETTY! ;) Apparently only youtubers know where all the young pretty girls are ;) I walk around and all I see are gruff and dour middle aged people glaring at me. hahahaha
    3
  11929. When I have been travelling, it's always been easier to have conversations in rural villages than big cities. I think countryside people are friendlier to strangers than city people. Plus if you are abroad, there is a greater chance that a city person will want to practice English, and a greater chance that a country person won't know any English.

  11930. Bruhhhhhhhh I’m in middle school in japan and whenever there’s a test I feel like I could get a 100 in my English test but yeah I only got like 45 or 38 because my teacher only follow his google translator I don’t even talk to him because I already argue about my test for like many times but he doesn’t listen so I’ll just take the lower grade 😭😭 and so I talk to my friend in Chiba about why my test is low she gave me an advice and told me to answer like a elementary student who knows a little English to get a 100 or 98 and yeah I tried to do that but the habit of knowing English fluently is just aaaaa and I get bullied in my school I don’t know why??, my japanese is decent I can speak the language I just can’t read or write I mean I’m trying my best to memorize kanji and read it I just don’t get why they would bully me and call me a “BAKA GAIJIN” bruhhh I don’t even look like a gaijin I’m literally Japanese I just wasn’t born in japan lmfao anyways idk how many years I’m gonna stay here lol......

  11934. It's nice to see you interacting with people and having conversations and it's nice to see what's in the shops and restaurants. But make no mistake you are the star of your show and it is your personality and the way you display it in your conversation that keeps us coming back for more

  11939. You learned Japanese and Chinese, it shouldn’t be hard
    3
  11940. The language learning gripe I have, if people who are like "oh, I just studied at home." But then you find out they actually lived in the target language country for 10 years. Like, ya. You should definitely have a good grasp of the language then.
    3
  11941. I again would like to speak about it, that this video is just amazing as the other videos.
    3
  11942. If i were in other country and someone came up to me and speak perfect with perfect accent Finnish I probably be in shock and if they weren´t from Finland i probably praise their Finnish for 30 minutes straight.

  11943. I had tears watching the whole video it makes me realized that no matter how much money you have and once you ended up living in a place like this makes me realised that we have to value our life while we can and avoid gambling addiction etc..I pray for those people out there who have to suffered but still they needed to be happy and to keep themselves safe and sound 🙏🙏🙏

  11947. It's always very interesting for me to lern more about different cultures and your videos give me beautiful introduction and insight into the Japanese culture. I'm very thankful for you putting in so much effort to make these videos. I think that there is a fear, for certain westners, about people "losing" themselves in foreign cultures and thus turning away from the "supreme" western culture. I'm so detested by such a nationalism. At the end of the day we are all humans on this planet and it's a beautiful thing to take a step towards each other.

  11948. I agree!

  11957. im French lived in Japan for a while, the day that I arrived in Osaka, it was an evening and I looked for a small traditional yet affordable sushi place to have my first dinner. as in entered ready to eat alone I had the most lovely meal with 2 elder academic professors and their spouses who offered my sake and invited my before wishing me good luck. they were the nicest I will always remember this feeling of warmth and welcoming energy.

  11958. I have been learning English more than 12 years, and I never get that level of perfect like a native speaker. You spoke multiple languages all at once, and that is incredible performance. You spoke very well in those foreign languages, Its awesome. Great skills. I envy to your foreign language skills . Perhaps you need another foreign language. Bahasa Indonesia. Indonesian language. Keep up the good work Greetings from INDONESIA

  11961. Well, from the looks of things it went well, but I had little doubt that it would go well. Your mother is very outgoing, and like her offspring has an engaging and outgoing personality. Funny how that happened. Tommy and his parents are in turn willing to engage with non Japanese. There is that doubt that both sets of parents relish embarrassing their children. Noodles and chopsticks are a true joy to master and until that day when it just works. Looking forward to future episodes.

  11962. I want to do that as well 🤩🤩🤩

  11978. i appreciate the packages within package in food. i wish its the same here in our country. because most of the time i couldn't finish the whole box of crackers so what happened is the rest of the crackers becomes soft or the freshness or the crisp is gone after a day or two (btw my place is in tropical part - hot weather plus humidity - like 75% humidity) although sometimes i do use the food package clip but not all the time because most food packaging has an inappropriate shape and hard to properly seal the clip 😅

  11982. I'm studying Korean in university and although I've been to Seoul (which is great, don't get me wrong), I can't wait to travel to more rural areas to see the hidden gems that most foreigners (who don't speak Korean) never get to see. You inspire me to keep going and you show me that it will be worth it to learn a foreign language that few non-native people master ^^ Great video!

  11983. woah this is just wonderful! i wish you a happy and blessed life :D

  11984. So glad to see your new video! My daughter and I signed up for Japanese lessons on Pimsleur at your recommendation! So I listen intently when you speak Japanese. Now I have to look up otsukaresama desu.

  11985. This guy is super cool. Glad you got the chance to spend some time with him. Keep up the fascinating work!

  11998. 3:24. OMG. THAT LITTIRALLY HAPPENED TO OUR FAMILY. we got interviewed by a group of students. we didn't speak japanese to them, though. another time, news people came up to us, and started to speak English, but soon relisted we spoke japanse. I still wonder is that got itself on tv.
    3
  11999. My Japanese was very limited the last time I was in Japan but even so I found that elderly Japanese people were very welcoming. There was one time I was sitting in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and an elderly man cane over and struck up a conversation with me in English. His English wasn’t perfect but it was a lot better than my Japanese. Every time someone started a conversation with me outside in Japan it was always someone elderly

  12011. I admit that I still struggle with kanji, but when college ends, I will start studying it a lot harder. I find it easier to recognise kanji when I read them, but actually trying to write them down is hard. I think kanji recognition is definitely good.
    3
  12012. Yea it's definitely a incredibly overlooked subject. I do think there can be a benefit in primarily learning speaking/listening at first depending on how you learn, but you eventually need to put your focus into the writing and reading as it's equally as important.
    3
  12013. I love watching these videos the way people light up when you speak to them in their language and they had no idea you can speak Japanese or Chinese is awesome
    3
  12014. Good for you. You like great coming down to solid ground. The comedy commentary was gold....loved it. How old were you when you decided to study abroad and were you surprised you seemed to enjoy it so much? Put your tray tables up...gets me every time. Another job well done!!

  12020. I was so impressed with your video, and it is truly amazing when a non-Japanese person speak the language, especially when you and your friend are speaking Japanese. It was so funny the looks on the Japanese's faces when they hear you both speaking Japanese. Thanks again for sharing your video. 皆様のご活躍をお祈りしています！

  12021. I lived in Zimbabwe for 13 years. You find most people will do anything to make money. If they have a minibus, it becomes a taxi. Have a scooter, it’s transportation too. Have soap stone, you make curios for tourists. It doesn’t matter how but that they and the family can eat. I’m sure that the bike business made sense for the first 3 months, until it didn’t. Being in the states makes sense in the states, but being in China, Japan, Zimbabwe, it all makes sense after some time.

  12036. I love videos like this! Anming, u have a very old soul that lives for adventure. It’s one of the greatest things to watch ur enthusiasm about ur life. I appreciate the archer’s story as u can see how much she respects the culture which is key. It separates appropriation and appreciation
    3
  12037. I can appreciate that true linguists may get frustrated with outlandish claims of linguistic ability when it has been exaggerated. However, even if they are not as they may seem it still encourages people to think about learning a language and that has to be a good thing. For me, it is more annoying when youtubers use a certain style of language to attract viewers. It cheapens their abilities although i guess for many its about the $ and not really about the language. Ego and $. I admire linguists like yourself and Matt. There are a handful of true linguists with varying skills. Even Youtubers like JJsays who "only" speaks Mandarin has singing abilities in Mandarin which has attracted praise. Not really sure why it upsets you though as Youtube has room for everyone, shine with your own abilities and forget the rest!

  12040. What a talented and intelligent guy! And what a treat that was so dope. Felt like I was actually there watching it. Anming has a knack for finding the most intriguing people in Japan!

  12041. Anming, you certainly have an Amazing way with others who no doubt become excellent friends like Rody and Sam. I admire that not only do you get to be in a Beautiful Country but you’ve met very inspiring and unique people like the Rickshaw 🛺 Guy who was just adorable and very hardworking. I hope he can return to the States and finish his destination goals. Now, Lisa who has the determination to be in a Band and also play guitar. I have a favorite guitarist who I personally believe is a Young Prodigy from Poland 🇵🇱...His name is Marcin P. If you take the time to view this Amazing Musician..it will blow your mind. YT (Salt) He was accepted last year to a very prestigious Art School in the US. I have several guitars that my father owned and it takes a lot of resources just to maintain them as they are not only sentimental to me, but they’re very pricy. I believe that musicians can become popular but many don’t. Nevertheless, I can see that this is not just Lisa’s ambition but playing helps her esteem, Independence and she enjoys it. Which I can see the “Same” with your unique language skills but now you’ve become an Extrovert. Stay Safe and Positive. Happy 2021’ from N. California. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏽❤️🇺🇸. Please keep these Amazing Vlogs Coming.

  12050. Hi! Your channel is so cool
    2
  12051. My whole life kids would just flok towards me at parks. And the parents sometimes would say "Can you look him up while I go to the restroom or grab something to eat?" That happens a lot at pools 🙄 People I just met there, but kids seems to have a good time around me... I'm a bit childish myself maybe that's why. Babies always smile when they see my face, so it seems I have a children-friendly face 🤣
    2
  12052. Wow, it's shocking to see how many subscribers you have now. Keep up the great work young lady, you're amazing.
    2
  12053. I don't really know these communities but the whole time I'm watching this, I'm thinking about my friends who have used duolingo for years and years and years and basically have ZERO PROGRESS WITH THE LANGUAGE THEY WANT TO LEARN. It's a "fun app" and you can compete with your friends! W0w. When I mentioned how bad the courses they were taking were, they would get defensive. Lately, I think a lot about this statement... "People can't be swayed by facts". 🧐
    2
  12054. I learnt french by myself, and my way of learning really didn't make any sense but for me. I speak spanish and english, so having spanish as my native language was a big key in my study. I ended up loving it, i've always had the accent but i needed the vocabulary, learning everything i know now is something i didn't even know i was able to do, c'était incroyable. Some months ago, being really confident with my french i started learning italian. I know, and i always have in mind that my grammar sucks because i just started learning how the grammar works, so i don't go around telling people i speak italian. In the other hand, i speak a little with my mom. My mom is the nicest person, we both suck at italian but we try to support each other because both of us love the language. So everytime we're able to speak with each other, we do. Most of the time is just to say "é ridicolo" JAKAJA.

  12055. 1:33 lmfao 😂 the dude was like Whaaat 🤣
    2
  12056. Anming, you’re a breath of fresh air in the language-learning community. I watched so many “language learning videos” and ended up feeling like a complete failure for not accomplishing my goals quickly, but you’ve restored my faith in my self. Thank you 😊
    2
  12057. Well, all I can add is that someone intelligent enough to genuinely investigate learning another language, can surely read the writing on the wall when doing the research. I mean, any of the kind of marketing schemes you see online or otherwise, promising any sort of relative level of "fluency" within a prescribed short term time limit, are probably best to be avoided right away, depending on how your past learning experiences went. It's like any other consumer product if you want to look at it that way. Buyer beware, right ? As for me, I speak 2 languages with a native level of fluency, and am relearning a third I used to speak a long time ago. Used to speak 2 others as well back as a kid in the 70's that I forgot, except for the swear words ;<) I can legitimately regard someone who potentially could school you up to a "tourist" level of basic communicability in 90 days as a language guru, as much as I could the university prof giving me a medical textbook ability over a degree period of 4 years. Cost benefit ratio vs budget and basic needs.
    2
  12058. I almost skipped your channel entirely when I read the title because I assumed it would be just another "how I learned x language in x (way too short) amount of time." Im so glad I didn't! Getting a solid command of a language takes such serious time and effort, I'm glad you're actually showing people the REAL results of study and dedication. I'm at the very beginning of my Chinese journey after spending the last 4 years focusing on French. It's going to be a long road, but these inspirational videos really help to stay motivated!

  12066. Sometimes language is just about communication. I learned how to speak another language after a year of living with natives that didn't speak English. Was my language perfect? Nope, but I could communicate effectively and understand. On the other hand I learned Spanish in school for 8 years and still can't put a sentence together. There are people learning new languages and recording the journey while trying to make a buck sharing different techniques.
    2
  12067. I remember when my Japanese cousin came to visit me in New Orleans. We went from the airport to a Saints game in the Superdome. Between his jetlag and the football game, he slept for almost 2 days straight. I really thought I killed him!!!!

  12068. The Chinese crowd was very impressed, they applauded you for answering the question.

  12081. Why would so called polyglots learn 10, 14 20, 29 or 35 languages to a very half arsed low level over their life time and when they actually could put that effort into afew languages of their interest to a much higher level (near fluency) when starting from scratch.
    2
  12082. I've been living in Japan for like 4 years and some change. Many of my American friends only want to hang out with other Americans, but interacting with Japanese people has truly improved my experience.
    2
  12083. Smile all the way through your content. So good, so wholesome, so educational and so cute!!!

  12084. Haha I wish I met you when I was living in japan

  12085. We haven't gotten that much snow this year here in the thumb of Michigan so far. however the Upper Peninsula has gotten 219.5inches or 557.53cm so far this season.

  12086. How am I just seeing this video now 😂😂i have been saying this for the longest 😂😂I speak mandarín Spanish and Portuguese and I see so many people claiming to be fluent and I’m saying to myself noooooo you are not. I watched this guy Frankie light talk about he’s fluent in Chinese and to me his Chinese sucks. I’m so glad I’m not the only person to notice these fake polyglots. They always need to do reaction videos because they know the people will usually say or ask them the same thing over and over again.
    2
  12087. Oh, absolutely! Just from my own experience - before I traveled to Germany and Austria, I took a year of evening conversational German at my local college. Once I got to the German speaking countries, I very quickly picked up the vocabulary and ability to have casual conversations with people in, say, my train compartment. (This was in the early '80s). But once the conversation settled on a particular topic, I began to flounder. I was kind of stuck in the present tense, and with only so much vocabulary. That is when I really appreciated the difference between a basic knowledge and language fluency. I agree that it is cool when someone picks up the basics in many different languages. But, no, it's not the same thing at all.
    2
  12088. Have a happy New year!

  12089. Haha. That last part of the video got me rolling! Definitely well timed and placed. Thanks Anming for another bodacious video!

  12093. I’ve come to this video long after you posted it, but I just wanted to appreciate your videos again for their content: interesting, informative, sometimes quirky, witty, silly, but always entertaining. I think you strike a good balance of all the above, and I hope you continue for a long time. Thank you.

  12094. One of my favorite restaurants is owned by an older Korean couple. The man does not speak much English, so I’ve always wanted to learn Korean to communicate better with him and make him feel more comfortable. Thank you so much for your encouragement that anyone can learn from home! It really gave me the push I needed to start learning. :)

  12103. The visit to that German town brought back a memory when I visted Japan. I was at the fish market having a cigarette when a Japanese worker joined me. We traded cigarettes and while we were talking, a German gentleman joined us. To my surprise, the Japanese worker spoke fluent German. What a mashup of cultures at a fish market. Japanese, German and American men just enjoying a nice smoke break. Good times.

    2
  12108. I came across your channel hoping to find help in finding resources in learning Japanese for my two boys (ages 8 and 13.). You have helped my overwhelming fear to help my boys learn Japanese dissipate. What an incredible gift you have! Thank you for your courage, confidence, talent, and beauty (inside and out) to share with outlets. I have yet to find anyone else with your kindness and gift for inspiring learning and loving a culture. You are incredible! Reality is, everyone is criticized no matter what! I am really so surprised on the weirdness of people's comments. I was instantly drawn to your channel because you are real, genuine, and GENIUS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are incredible!!! That's just the truth. Critics have tragically been blinded by their hate and opposition to truth. They physically and mentally cannot handle beauty and truth. Such a tragic place to be. You are beauty personified in every sense!!!!❤️

  12109. I live in Indonesia and it's true. Indonesians are always super impressed with my Indonesian even though it's probably A1 or maybe early A2 if I'm generous with myself. The reason is because here in Bali, locals are constantly surrounded by Westerners who know absolutely no Indonesian or just the simple things like "Hello, how much, thank you". I've heard foreigners who've clearly lived here for years greet staff in (heavily accented) Indonesian just to switch to English in order to make a simple request. In this context, my half-way decent Indonesian stands out. If I lived in Germany/France, they'd not be impressed at all simply because more foreigners are learning those languages so they've heard way better. The other factor is that some cultures, like Indonesia, are very polite and will compliment you to be nice even if it's a bit disingenuous. In Germany you will not likely get so much empty praise.

  12110. Intro is like you were describing the group of Chinese people like Steve Erwin 😂

  12121. I just wonder how long it takes to fully speak and understand a new language?
    2
  12122. I speak Thai (I am Caucasian) and on various trips to Thailand, I found that my "Caught you" experiences are much like yours. People are usually nice and happy/excited to talk. Only once in my life I've been "slandered" by a open market seller that accused me of not buying her stuff as a "rich foreigner" and pretty nasty about it. They were probably having a bad day. For the most part, my experiences are that people usually feel flattered that you took the time to learn their language and culture.

  12123. We have "pig's ears" here in the states, but it's not a real pigs ear. It's a deep fried pastry, and they're pretty good.

  12129. It looks quite suburban to me and doesn't seem rural or "countryside" more like a small city and quite close to the city center at that. In the US I like to use the number of stoplights as a measuring tool, 1 - 5, Rural Boondocks, 5- 10, developed town. I bet you could use the train stop frequency to measure how rural the area is. If you are still getting a train every hour than it's probably not Rural yet just a suburban commuter town.

  12130. Woow...actually you can eat it all 豆沙馅饼,look not bad... I like the convenient of Japan,all the street have a machine for you to buy a drink,that's cool place. I should visit once available.. nice video ,Anming

  12133. I really regret not studying abroad. I have too many commitments to do it now 😭

  12134. I remember going to the Ghibli museum and a kid pointed and laughed at me. Her parents were so embarrassed but I just started laughing and making the kid laugh and told them it was ok. About 6 feet tall, with an arm tattoo, muscle, not Asian, is going to make you standout but it’s ok. Only time I felt bad in Japan was not being let into a restaurant/bar and getting called a derogatory remark at a 7/11 by a not so polite Japanese cashier for not speaking Japanese. I guess she assumed I was a foreigner actually living in Japan, rather than a tourist because it was in a residential area. No other person treated me like this and everyone was very friendly, maybe a bit shy but that’s just a barrier.

  12168. Inspiring. I've been studying chinese by my own for about two years. I've also done a few japanese lessons. I can recognize and read the characters i've learned in chinese. I'm from Venezuela and speak spanish and I'm not planning or have any specific need to learn those languages, I just fell in love with them, specially with mandarin.

  12169. Congratulations! As a proud father of three, may your life be filled with love, laughter and many precious moments.

  12170. I have lost my wallet a few times. Easy to do if your doing something out of the ordinary. Or are in possession of a new or different wallet/bag than normal. People can be really amazing anywhere. I’ve lose my wallet on a train in NYC and got it back. I really enjoy your videos! Thank you! I feel like I am able to live a bit vicariously through your experiences! Exactly the types of adventures I love having. I am also from Michigan, near Saginaw. I have been lucky to live in Orlando, Jackson Hole, Wyoming and most recently, NYC. I am always fascinated with the bounty of culture, especially Asian culture, available in these places. I am a performer and am looking for opportunities to make it to Japan on a contract sometime soon. Let me know if you spy any Americans performing over there. The main opportunity I am aware of now is Tokyo Disney.

  12171. I Really miss My Home Town. Hello From California!!

  12172. Anmig! I have only just discovered your channel and I very rarely comment on anything. I am in awe with your intelligence, your energy and how integrated you are in Asia. It certainly isn't easy. I think you offer something so rare and precious in the youtube space, your videos are enjoyable and inspiring. Please keep going! I am officially a fan x
    2
  12173. Wow, I'm so impressed looking at this reality. For me, I study in the US and appreciate large space even at home. I see how much you sacrifice as American to get new, exciting experiences in Japan. But for sure it'll help you make your own story in life. I hope that you visit South Korea and share what you think because I'm so curious as Korean.
    2
  12174. Love your language adventure vids. So interesting. Im soo envious and mega impressed. Would make a good mini TV documentary. With a Chinese gf I should make more effort. I have similar experiences in Europe as an Englishman speaking other languages, but mine cannot compete with the shock value of yours! Plus now more shock to see you buying my favourite "Pastel de nata" Portuguese egg custard tarts.....in Japan ! Omg too much !!

  12179. Glad that you are doing ok, and congratulations on your achievement! To be completely honest, I'd been wondering what was going on with all the Japan-connected accounts I follow, as it seemed that nobody posted in a while. Good luck with your job search!

  12188. FWIW your videos have a unique take because you have unique opinions. In my experience, people drawn to cities do so because they want / need to be entertained, saying there is "nothing to do" in the country. I suppose that is true if you're used to urban life, which makes it more difficult to form meaningful connections, so you need entertainment to appease your emotional needs. I think a rewarding life comes from depth, not variety. People who choose to live in more rural areas tend to agree with that. Of course, the hard part is then making money, because the money is in the cities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  12189. I’m from Michigan too 😊 I’m Ojibwe, Native American. I’ve always wanted to go to Japan and China in full traditional regalia and see what everyone thinks of it over there 😂 Thanks for the new videos! I always love watching 😊

  12190. That was a very interesting conversation you had about differences.I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    2
  12191. In my limited experience a real compliment in Japan is rarely (if ever) verbal. Being given a responsibility is a real compliment, especially if failing at this responsibility would embarrass the person who gave it to you. If they tell you your Japanese is amazing but never leave you alone with the students, take it for what it is (a rebuke). But if your sensei says "wake me up before we reach the train station", well you've just been given a compliment (which you must never embarrassingly acknowledge of course).

  12194. Congratulations! I always wanted to go see the catholic cathedral in Japan. I would like to see Akita too. I been married for over 31 years and the best advice I can give you-- is to have great perseverance. It's not easy a lot of times but hang in there. One rule we try to keep is don't let the Sunset on your anger. Never go to bed mad at it each other. If someone has to give in--do it. You can talk about it again later. Don't expect 50:50 some times 110:0 or even 0:0 holdfast you will get past the storm.

  12214. From the videos earlier this year I thought you were only staying in Japan for a short time and because the pandemic you couldn't get back to China. Is that still the case or you are planning to stay in Japan long term? In any case, great video! . Greetings from Argentina!

  12230. Good video 📹 👍. Your Mandarin is great 👍 You can speak that if you travel to Malaysia 🇲🇾 or Singapore 🇸🇬, where I was this year, in early 2023. I traveled to Asia 🌏, mostly The Philippines 🇵🇭. Chinese is the majority of minorities there. Many of them speak Fukien, Cantonese or Hainanese. Some speak Mandarin. I am a beginner in Tagalog. Most of the Chinese words in that language are from Fukien. I am better off with Chavacano. I do not speak it, but I speak Spanish 🇪🇸. Both are mutually intelligible 😃😃. Mamy Filipinos are polyglots: Tagalog, English and a local language. There is a boy there who speaks 20 languages. Wouter and Xiaomanyc speak Tagalog.

  12238. I went to Korea last year like an exchange student , there’s some Koreans that are really good at English ( my mother tongue is Spanish because I am Mexican, I am not fluent at English but at least I can communicate well) so I was lost, a really kind woman helped me , she was around 26 maybe, and she showed me everything and how to go to that place even she helped to carry my luggage.

  12244. She doesn’t have to pick a citizenship. On paper you’re supposed to, but it’s not enforced at all if you don’t. Tell her just to ignore it unless in the extremely unlikely chance someone contacts her about it.

  12255. I am European and i speak 3 languages more or less fluent and now i started to learn Japanese literally few weeks ago, loving it so far
    2
  12256. I've done this numerous times. The best was many years ago I was in Best Buy playing a racing game demo on xbox. Racing games are tough if you don't know the track, thus I wasn't faring well... There were two older Japanese men behind me talking about how the xbox wasn't popular in Japan. Then they said, "This guy isn't very good." Once the game was over I turned to them with a huge smile and in polite Japanese said, "The game is pretty difficult but fun. Here, you try!" They were stunned and had no choice but to play. =)

  12269. My dream is definitely to explore Japan and being able to interact with the locals and read all the billboards. I’ve been using JapanesePod101 for about 3 months now, and liked it do much that I signed up for a 2 year subscription. I’m still trying to work up the courage to reach out to a Japanese speaker or make inroads in the community. I know I’ll never get better unless I take that step.
    2
  12270. Congratulations!!! May your marriage be filled with happiness and blissful joy!

  12272. That's funny on some of the comments you mentioned.Being an American myself and having spoken American English since the age of 3, I can attest that your American English accent is still very much intact. You definitely still sound like a Michigander.:)

  12280. I love this so much! Funny that he says “the longest word in the world”.. my brother & I took great pride as middle-schoolers knowing the real longest word & spelling it. I hadn’t thought about it in decades until I started listening to The Disappearing Spoon the other day. It’s pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis ☺️

  12282. Basically, you have to be OCD about everything you see and hear. I wrote down everything that I saw on signs after I moved to Asia. I also watched a lot of TV including Sponge Bob Squarepants in Mandarin. I never once stepped into any classroom until years later when I really wanted to know what my level is which made the people at the university astonished that I was sitting in an intermediate class. You really don't see immediate rewards when learning languages. I guess that's why most people seem to give up after a short time.
    2
  12283. Hi Anming, sorry I don’t remember your American name. I enjoy watching your channel. it’s very entertaining. You are amazing with Asian languages. Have you thought of learning to speak Thai? It’s a tonal language and I’m sure you would be great with it. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  12284. Congratulations!!!!
    2
  12285. Wow! That was awesome! What was the tv thing about anyway?? You are so amazing that you were even able to do that. Quite an accomplishment

  12286. "Dragon", so I think he does Kaido. Awesome. =) Even if I'm wrong, hats off to him. I've always wanted to be better at drawing and animating, but I'm just bad at it. My mind is always 1000mph so I get frustrated easily and end up giving up.

  12293. 6:18 I used to live in Nishinari and this was a daily thing, I was punched walking down the street twice, my neighbors would pound on the walls, there's a super creepy christian church in nishinari thats basically predatory towards the mentally ill and poor population there and spreads conspiracies and the city doesn't shut it down. That welfare center helped addicts as well. Nishinari is super sketchy you don't walk around at night there just like in america.

  12298. I am from Nepal and I am learning Chinese. I love your videos！ 加油！
    2
  12299. i think that learning languages to a basic level is really cool, i respect your approach of wanting to learn fewer languages to a high level but it's not me, i like to learn about languages from a standpoint of linguistic interest. I've only watched a few of these "shocking native speakers" videos but i have the same knee jerk reaction as a lot of people that they're sometimes rude to the native speakers in the video even when the whole point is to make connections. I've seen videos where the native speaker being "shocked by perfect chinese/vietnamese/swahili/whatever" and you can tell they're actually just struggling to figure out what the person is trying to say. i think the real problem comes from people taking learning languages "for connections" and just making it about themself! like when people only learn a couple of phrases and steer the conversation that way so they can use what they know but they basically ignore what the person they're talking to is actually saying.

  12300. American spending habits in a Japanese video 😅😂

    2
  12309. I enjoy watching your videos!, I've subbed for awhile now and gotta say I want to learn more Japanese. My lil nephew is a hafu and will be learning both Japanese and English. So for that reason and the fact I want to learn it just for myself, is a good enough reason to learn!. I just wish I had someone like you to learn from, face to face. But I'll start with the basics for now lol.
    2
  12310. Great discussion :) Many thanks :)

  12311. Wow .. you GO Girl! Keep forging through the Cultural Fences ... I have a huge amount of admiration for you.

  12312. closing yourself off to others closes you off to so much. i really wish i could do as you do my body won't let me traffic accident took my agility/ ability to do a lot of that but small blessings thanks to the internet the world is a bit smaller and we can talk easier to people all over the world. now if we the people can just convince our leaders to play nice lol. OH yeah have you gone to Yokohama yet to see the Giant Gundam yet?? Anyway keep up the great work thank you for all your hard work.

  12317. I tried to get into the manga scene a few times. Had a few meetings with Kodansha's editor. Told me to find an illustrator to work with. 2 times i found female mangakas...and just got ignored after awhile. T.T I'm going to try and get my Momotaro remake manga published once i get back to Japan. :D

  12318. Aw when Tommy rubbed his eye 😢 and says “I’ll be back” I cried!!

  12319. Oh!!! I love Sakuraco!!! I have been subscribed to them since last April - I love trying different sweets and snacks made from local businesses around Japan - it’s always a fun surprise to see what region of Japan they’re coming from each month! I also share it with my mom and introduce her to flavors of Japan - she is always so impressed by the beautiful packaging and loves the tea each month…I also have collected a bunch of dishes they’ve sent - they’re great for using for dipping. Hey I think Sakuraco should sponsor me - oh wait, I don’t post videos lol. They did include my Instagram picture at the back of one of their booklets over summer tho 😆 proud moment there…
    2
  12320. Good Video thank you for sharing it
    2
  12321. It`s that thing called "fluency illusion"....For instance to my friends who don`t really speak chinese, my chinese sounds very fluent. But in my mind i still need ALOOOOOOT of work!

    2
  12328. PERIOD!!!! Speak on it girl!

  12329. I think both of you, are amazing people, love your video’s

    2
  12331. I first came into this video thinking, "Ok, an American made it in the anime industry. That's pretty cool". I left thinking, "Wth, this guy made it big by animating Japan's most popular anime and manga. That's living the dream".
    2
  12332. 4:38 that old man's outfit resembles one of the outfit in ghost of tsushima , which is in fact my fav one. Love from Germany 🇩🇪

  12334. This video proves that japanese people are nice (I am definitely gonna go there and no video which tells me they are not good won't stop me)
    2
  12335. Love her attitude and energy. Very likable person. If I had the choice, I think I'd want to stay in Japan (regarding the passport question). Here in the US, things are just nuts. Take care, Katie & Oriental Pearl
    2
  12336. Thank you for opening my eyes to this! Wow!
    2
  12337. Japan is definately at the top of my list of places to go to. You do not know how much I learn from you videos. Thank you. Domo arigato gozaimasu.

  12338. All I will say is this "If there is a will there will be a way.Thank you again for these great videos.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
    2
  12339. Making friends in Japan is VERY VERY VERY easy. It's making really close good friends that is hard.
    2
  12340. Lol...I'm subscribed to both
    2
  12341.  @OrientalPearl  I actually just follow them on YouTube. I'm learning a few different languages. So I can't commit to either of the two right now.
    2
  12342. As a plus sized person, I always wondered if I would be mistreated or judged in Japan. But then again I have to remind myself that not everyone does, and some people will judge you on anything they can find. I recently found your channel and find it so interesting. You're making me wanna start learning japanese again!
    2

  12345. When I was in Japan I always had like a pound of freak'n coins in my pocket because everything from $0.01-$5 were all coins; and everything was paid in cash. I also made lots of calls on the payphones because to have your own phone cost a lot of money. I had to tighten my pants so they didn't fall down from the weight, ha ha.

  12346. 1:16 anming u are so inspiring I love ur videos!!! But as a Chinese speaker, I wanted to share small fyi for you, at the time stamp you say 别这么客气 which is a perfectly authentic phrase but in this context it is strange. It literally means “don’t be a stranger” and is intended to be used with family or friends to mean you’re welcome or don’t mention it. But given that these ladies are actual strangers, it is not really appropriate to tell them to not be strangers. Hopefully this will be somewhat helpful to you to become even more native ❤

  12350. I made a comment on your channel from a time back about a time in the late 70s of when my roomie and I were in Japan in OgakiGifu visiting the parents of our college dorm-mate (Japanese) when I was in college in Ashland, Oregon. I made a comment about the neighbor farm ladies in Ogaki pulling my eyelids down to check out the colors of my pupils. I can't believe it has been so long. Anyhow, my point today is that it's so nice to see people today living in Japan who don't surprise me. I had a similar experience with my roommate's unmet fiance's parents in Japan (long story). Their daughter was in the US and invited me and my roommate from Ogaki living in Oregon to visit them while we were on our way driving through her home while we were driving along the North Sea. Their hospitality and joviality was boundless. It made me chuckle and feel warm and sure sent the memories shooting back.

  12351. Oh my god,thank you for sharing this! I am certainly not a polyglot,but it seems comparable to street magic. A trick! Wooow To all the TRUE polyglot people,I salute you. To the fakes,I have been educated. Thank you,Pearl,because I was very close to donating with Patreon. Clever panhandlers,eh?🙄

  12354. I had the pleasure of living in Japan & the people there are like no other :).

  12355. Love the way you connect intellectually and socially with the people you speak to. Communication is key to every relationship.
    2
  12356. This video was so interesting. You can kind of notice little hints of her Kiwi accent here and there, but she's also developed a bit of a... say Japanese accent for lack of a better term. I have something similar. I was born in Canada, but due to my British parents I had a British accent which has slowly faded over time. Fascinating video, thank you!
    2
  12357. Great episode. Love your unique point-of-view. You have fun friends. I understand the celebration cigars. I smoked cigars for a long time. And no, you can't go wrong with cigars and alcohol.
    2
  12358. I just found this channel, and this is already one of the best discussions I've seen, so far, in any comment section. My language learning endeavors have been made more effective and realistic by just by reading it and listening to this honest conversation.

  12359. Love it! 👍

  12366. It's so refreshing to see that there are still so many nice people there.
    2
  12367. Aww, I like her! She's so cool and innovative. -_- Anming, did you really just recommend Gusto?!
    2
  12368. Now that you've been in Japan for a minute - do you prefer living and loving Japan over China?
    2
  12369. As usual, great video and reactions. I will be happy if you make a video on how to learn the languages. Is it just hard work or do you use any specific technique?
    2
  12370. I don’t get how people can call her a weebo which was originally an insult towards people who watched anime. What’re we going to call people who are into other cultures such as Latin cultures, European cultures and African cultures do we need to make a insult for each of these cultures when someone doesn’t originate from there extremely idiotic to keep this stance.

  12371. I spent much of the Thanksgiving break practicing Chinese.
    2
  12372. I literally just watched Kelly for the first time right before going to your channel's video section and selecting this particular video not knowing she was in this one as well! Nice coincidence!

  12373. If you go down to West LA, it's not uncommon to see very blonde girls walking around speaking Russian. So yeah, I'd think you were Russian too in Los Angeles.

  12374. I love this video! 我正在学习中文！很高兴看到有人也说中文！
    2
  12375. This is very interesting! I also think that I know who you mean with ‘China specialists in suits that speak poor Chinese 🤣. It’s really nice to see how your stories started and how your stories have similar situations in some parts. I also started with following JJ because if your content is kind of alike I will enjoy her content as well. Thanks for your stories!
    2
  12376. Its been a while since I've practiced my Chinese skills, writing mainly. I can speak Mandarin fluently but as I learnt a dialect first I sometimes have a dialect twang lol. But seeing you being able to speak Chinese AND Japanese gives me hope that one day I will be able to learn how to speak Japanese fluently ^ . ^
    2
  12377. It's like the Dunning–Kruger effect is never mentioned when it comes to learning a language. Suddenly knowing a few dozen sentences means you are fluent. I don't know how many years I'd have to study Spanish or Mandarin for before claiming that I've come anywhere close to mastering the languages. (Spanish a lot less time than Mandarin, which has seemingly infinite numbers of idioms)
    2
  12378. oh yeah i love foreigners they are inetersting and have cool storys i am japanese to

  12385. For you guys watching this - this is an absolutely crucial instructional video. Anming's impeccable sense of timing; i.e., when and how to approach, and when to break off a conversation with women at the right time. If you master this skill, you will gain a tremendous advantage, no matter where you are in the world.
    2
  12386. hey there from Australia, perhaps you could enter some live streaming japanese/chinese speaking rooms in apps like bigo etc. and prank them -as a quarantine friendly, yet intriguing video idea :) Love your videos! :)
    2
  12387. Yayyyy new video, I'm so thankful that you make these : ) keep it up!
    2
  12388. Another fun adventure/shelter in place therapy lol Beautiful Kingfisher! Love that you share experience instead of "packaged product" - the creativity keeps the flow. Also, very interesting when you add sociolinguistic notes (regional, gender slang, etc) and appreciate all your careful production work. Thanks for all this good energy, Anming! 💚🐦💚

  12391. Some good and genuine thoughts and observations here. I was endlessly fascinated and bewildered by my sabbatical year in Japan. You've captured some of that feeling well.

  12392. Dan Brawn is my favourite Author Once I read his novel I couldn't read for someone else! As his level is way ahead of other novel writers !
    2
  12393. Living in a place where Tohsaka is projected in public places (see 4:38) would be a dream come true :) Back to serious matter, great video! Positive about japan is also the cleaness of public spaces and the very high standard of professionalism in customer service! I was also pretty surprised during my holidays in Tokyo that cashless payment is pretty much nowhere accepted. Kind of awkward for a country that is stereotipized as being super-technological and futuristic.

  12394. I subscribed because of the shoutout you put :] How were the coloured dumplings?

  12395. I don't have an interest in learning Japanese, but the cultural differences is what interests me most.

  12396. Some stories of your travels would be a nice theme. Like some scary things that have happened or surprisingly kind acts of strangers in other countries you have experienced

  12404. I’m cant be the only one who has a huge crush on her? 😍
    2
  12405. When I was last in Japan, my grandparents continued to ignore my pleas and kept going up to random Japanese people and asking them questions in English. As a result I got to watch the reactions of a lot of Japanese people panicking at the sudden English exam, and the complete and utter relief wash over their faces when I ran over and translated into Japanese. This especially was the case in cities like Kanazawa that while it does have pretty decent domestic tourism, didn't have hardly any foreigners; I don't think I saw any non-Japanese there outside of my family.
    2
  12406. Something about this video was so cozy. Kind of makes me feel the same way as when I watch a quiet let's play with a good presenter. Just like sitting with a friend!
    2
  12407. I’m hopelessly in love with her, learning Japanese to win her over 😂

  12412. Another great video. I always look forward to them. I just saw your pinned comment about going to Korean host family. Thats so exciting! Bring on the videos 🤣
    2
  12413. I'm loving your channel so much. Your adventures are super fun to watch.
    2
  12414. This was really interesting - thank you for sharing. I love Japan but it seems they have a long way to go with accepting mixed ethnic Japanese. My biggest shock when staying in Tokyo for two months was seeing a sign outside a Ramen shop - written in English - saying 'Sorry, Japanese only'. Perhaps they meant - the staff only speak Japanese and this sign was poorly translated?
    2
  12415. What I've noticed watching polyglot videos is they're not that good at picking up LANGUAGE it's picking up ACCENT and TONE. Since those parts are tricky for a lot of people, it sounds like they have some incredible language ability, when what they're actually doing is more similar to an impressionist. Being able to talk perfectly in Goofy's voice doesn't mean you can make up new lines for him.
    2
  12416. How sweet. Teaching the old lady English. ✌️👍😁Looks like you have a lot of fun.
    2
  12417. THROWN AT THE DEEP END LEARN FINNISH!🤣🤣🤣HULU! KIITOS!😉
    2
  12418. Woah, Controversy! Hey I like the folk walking around having small talk with people because it's a human connection. Language creates barriers, some folks appreciate the attempt. It's not so much about being "fluent" but connecting with someone who didn't expect to make a friend or a friendly connection. Is there a big difference with saying someone is fluent VS being able to fully express one's self? What is fluency?
    2
  12419. I've always been impressed to hear English speakers speaking a foreign language well. I was kicked out of French lessons at the end of my first year at secondary school. I spoke the language well, could read it 'fairly' well, but could hardly write it at all —weird words spelt weirdly. I understand that English speakers don't need to try hard at learning foreign languages, because in most places in the world an English speaker can be found. This tends to make English speakers lazy when it comes to learning another language. These haters looking for an excuse to hate on somebody putting a video up on YouTube of themselves interacting with someone in a different country/culture fluently in that person's own language, are more than likely going to be the one's asking for an English speaker when something goes wrong when they're on holiday abroad. I've lived in Croatia for 29 years, apart from close to three years that I spent in Bosnia, and I haven't had one single Croatian language lesson, yet I speak the language well, read it fairly well, and at times I've actually written Croatian to a much higher standard than I spoke it . . . so there! 🤪 Mr French teacher (😉). Over the years I've helped many English speakers improve their Croatian, and not only English speakers; yet I've never thought about opening a YouTube channel because there are plenty of people who already do that, people who understand the Croatian language, Croatia and the Croatian culture better than me. So why would I? But this is one of the benefits of social media —rather that's how it used to be touted— the bringing together of people from all parts of the world so that we can learn about each other, about each other's cultures, customs, languages, etc. And now Cancel Culture wants to cancel this. Because its no doubt racist, sexist, Islamophobic, cultural appropriation, white supremacist, white privilege, etc, etc, etc . . . because . . . well . . . Cancel Culture! One thing I've learned in my years on this world is that "haters is gonna hate!" And cancel culturists are experts at hating —and expressing their hate for— others.
    2
  12420. I've been watching and collecting asian films and TV shows (mostly Japanese, Hong Kong, South Korean and Taiwanese) nearly 20 years so I'm familiar with culture and languages although I haven't tried to learn the languages. It's nice to see videos like these exploring the country and culture. I also love Dorayaki lol but can only get prepackaged ones here in Florida. Try it if you haven't. I'm sure it would taste way better fresh.

  12421. omG this was lovely <3

  12430. you're a very pretty young lady.
    2
  12431. Huh, this is a wierd one for me. I went to a language school in Tokyo for about a year and my experience is completely the opposite. Teachers were superchill and great. We could definitely drink in the classrooms. Teachers would organise after school activites regularly. We went to Izakayas and Karaokes with teachers. I made life long friends there and even video call with one of the teachers about once a year to catch up. I guess i got lucky? That said I would love to try a less crowded city aswell to get another perspective. Just wanted to note that Tokyo language schools can be great aswell!
    2
  12432. After watching this, I was just wondering if there's a certain number of languages you have to know (on a B2 or higher level) to consider yourself a polyglot?
    2
  12433. Even if they are aliens, if you try to communicate just then lots of people will open up to you!
    2
  12434. Omg she’s so cool
    2
  12435. I really loved watching this, those reactions were both cute and funny!! 😂 I'm actually learning Chinese, still in the basics tho but loving it so far, and my mother language is Spanish (Panamanian girl) and even though english us a general language as someone said here, there's a lot of people I know who doesn't want to learn any other language. Still can't umderstand them! I really enjoy your videos 💕
    2
  12436. Ah I'm so jealous of your ability to switch effortless between the languages! When learning your third language did you find that you consistently mixed up words from your second language? When I started learning Spanish after learning Korean I had trouble remembering what order the sentences went in and always randomly mixed Korean in with my spanish sentences haha
    2
  12437. I watch the channel frequently. I love seeing equally good people together! Congrats!
    2
  12438. Yay for my Chinese video fix for today. Keep it up. Hope you get many more subs coming your way.

  12444. Can't speak Finnish but I can make an old cassette tape sound Finnish.

  12445. Can confirm that the same expectations on a foreign teacher apply in Taiwan also.
    2
  12446. Hey I'm studying exactly Mandarin and Japanese too haha (I'm Danish though), hope I get to your level at some point. I'm going to China in August if the borders open, then I'll be studying science there for two years, I hope to be able to get to a conversational level at some point :) Thanks for the inspiration.

  12447. You would make a wonderful diplomat! Love your channel!

  12448. I love the video❤❤ hello from guam

  12449. Congratulations on your 1 million subscribers, Alyssa! I just returned last night from a 3 week visit to Japan and loved it. Your videos helped me understand more of the culture before my vacation there. Love your new home too! Arigato gozaimasu! ♥

  12451. Everyone has their own definition of what is considered fluent.
    2
  12452. Great video!! I could never drive there or in Chinese cities. Respect to those who do. Anming, knowing Canto and Mandarin, how did you experience hearing all the tones in Vietnamese and any other SE languages that you heard there? Thank you 🌸johanna
    2
  12453. I've been watching some of your videos and this one kind of reminds me of the first time of my trip to Germany it was a culture shock I never experienced a lot of different things. And the natives were like why you acting this way LOL so I totally get what you were saying at the end of the video.
    2
  12454. 9:01 This is very true. The downside of the internet is that people no longer limit comparing themselves to their local community or even at a national level. The internet enables people to compare themselves to the absolute best people currently alive in the entire world for any given subject / category / etc, and because it is the internet, nobody wants to hear about "average" stories because they're not exciting.
    2
  12455. You’re so practical about it all. I’m having sooo much fun
    2
  12456. We have that kind of place in Indonesia too. Like in my town we have chinesse village, Bali Village, And Arabic village

  12457. You're too adorable! LOL SCOOTERS EVERYWHERE!!!! Thank You for this, enjoyed it! :D

  12458. I am currently living on Okinawa. Once the flight restrictions are lifted... mainland Japan, here I come!
    2
  12459. Theres a difference tho! I am Brazilian, son of Japanese with Brazilian, and there’s a difference of what type of foreigner you are too! Example, they are very hostile towards latin foreigners, but I heard they love Americans! I watch your videos all the time, as I see myself in similar shoes, as I live in America. I follow other foreigners that lives in Japan, and it is in fact a different reality tho! But yes they are very systematic!
    2
  12460. She’s so adorable

  12461. 3:34 this is reason why I always bring pocket knife anywhere XD

  12466. It's all about the orange Thai tea in a can 😻
    2
  12467. I'm pretty proud of being able to tell that the guy was from Finland before being told that just based on how he pronounces his japanese (partly because I am from Finland and I am interested in learning japanese and korean)
    2
  12468. I really enjoyed this video. When I started my language learning process 13 years ago I was somehow seduced by the idea of learning multiple languages very fast and the result was a disaster. The situation only changed when I decided to dedicate myself to one single language, but I had to study for several years to start to feel comfortable with it even if this language (Italian) was similar to mine (Portuguese). Another important aspect is the existence of different grades of fluency. I have been working for a Canadian company for the last three years and most of my meetings are in English. Because of that, I had hundreds or even thousands of hours of practice and I feel pretty comfortable with the language now - even if I still make mistakes here and there. Although, I would never compare my English with my Spanish. I have been married to an Argentinian woman for almost a decade now and we always have used Spanish as our main domestic language. I also lived in Buenos Aires for some time working as a receptionist, so I had uncountable hours of practice in this language. The result of all that is today I almost consider myself as partially Argentinian. This is a completely different level of immersion not only in the language but also in their culture and worldview. It is simply impossible to have that in a huge number of languages because we do not have enough lifetime to do this immersion process several times.
    2
  12469. Hope I'll be able to meet you when I come to japan 😂 to study japanese in about 3-4 yrs cause first I gotta finish engineering and getta good job while preparing for jlpt exams side by side

  12471. you made so many people happy, its so sweet! I wanna become like you one day and you really motivate me to learn more about japanese and chinese i love your videos ♥ ♥
    2
  12472. 8:58 Is that “景德镇” a Chinese restaurant? looks funny and a little bit wired for a restaurant named after this. lol
    2
  12473. Yep its true i have been deceived of those kink of schemes and tricks back n the day i fall into conclusion that i can speak english in a short period of time like 6 months is enough for me to get an amazing fluency 😂😂😂 But luckily i came to realised that that was just a part of tricks to gain more followers and views.. so thank u for spreading the truth about language learning guys... As an english learner i truly appreciate your honesty...
    2
  12474. the fact that you are talking to strangers so confidently is admirable ... I struggle to do that, even in my native language lol
    2
  12475. Everytime I watch your videos you're always drinking a buble tea XD
    2
  12476. It is just very difficult to learn japanese! : )

  12479. Always Great Content. Don't Stop Uploading Videos Pearl.
    2
  12480. My goal in Japanese is to be able to watch TV shows in Japanese all the way through and knowing what they are saying. My motivation for learning japanese is it's a hard language for english speakers and if I'm able to make myself fluent i believe itll give me motivation in life to do so much more
    2
  12481. I don't think we Michganders have an accent do we..? I think we're accent neutral.

    2
  12501. I'm pretty sure it's edited footage, but I also wanted to add that just because someone doesn't visibly react doesnt mean that they aren't surprised.
    2
  12502. Yes, dont be so hard on yourself. To error is human, and to forgive is ______!
    2
  12503. i love your videos videos so much thanks for making them!
    2
  12504. I also understand the technical jargon thing, cause a good chunk of the Japanese vocab I do know is related to my grad studies (cultural psychology, education) and there are simple af phrases I still don't have a clue about lmao.

  12505. Are u a ROBOT??

  12508. I lived in Osaka for over 3 months and when we'd ride the subway to work, we'd always have some school kids (elementary grades) for a few stops. I'm almost 2 meters tall, so they would always stare at me. So one day I bent over and looked at them and pointed to myself and said "Aho gaigin". They laughed and agreed.....beautiful country! Very much enjoyed it.
    2
  12509. You guys are so sweet together and your parents are gorgeous beautiful inside out people ❤️😇❤️

  12510. 😲= My face when Mr. Beyblade flipped that cross thingy mid-spin and it landed perfectly. What an interesting and generous man! 🧡

  12511. For me personally i just love seeing people happy when they hear someone speaking their language.
    2
  12512. when I saw 鬱病 my pc froze, I think that's a sign
    2
  12513. Here is so close to my home!! So glad you came here :)
    2
  12514. I would have assumed you were of Ethnic Scandinavian stock.. I have come across many people from The Great Lakes area who are of Norwegian ancestry and more broadly Sweden and Denmark . At one time heavy migration came from those countries there.. The weather from both regions is similar . German , I never thought that !!
    2
  12515. and i quote "Dont feel too bad for the soldier.. hes got a really hot wife" me: eyyyy my guy!!!!

  12517. To me, you sound a bit "Canadian". I'm a expat in the Philippines, but native of California.

  12519. What happened Anming ? We were cheated out of five minutes of video ! This video is five minutes too short ! ! You owe us a fifteen minute video next time now ! J/K...
    2
  12520. that place is really beautiful
    2
  12521. Fun video! I especially loved the reaction of the girl who was hesitant at first, then jumped up and down excitedly after her photo. Very sweet! But a lot of the reactions were great and the robot is very cool, especially for a handmade one! 😮
    2
  12522. I am missing a lower left leg and she is my hero!! I have only lost my leg a few years ago, so I'm still in the adjustment phase...Anming, please tell her in Japanese that she is my new hero!!

  12526. Great vid, always love how positive you are (✿◠‿◠) What park did you meet the dog walker at? Looks so relaxing!!
    2
  12527. Awesome perspective on why we have to be brave in learning a new language, trying to be perfect can be discouraging. Its so multicultural here in Canada that there are different levels of english used to get by. Its probably the same around the world.
    2
  12528. ❤🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR'S 🎊🐲 STAY SAFE 💝💫 YOU ARE A MOVIE STAR 🌟 TO THEM 😂
    2
  12529. the crumbled "nori" flakes are missing. They make the soba meal complete - as for me
    2
  12530. Wow, the streets are so freaking clean!
    2
  12531. I Love your channel I’m an American, and I get to see Japan through your videos, I Really Like that, because I don’t think, I will ever get to travel there. So I really enjoy them. And I Love to hear you speak other languages, with the people there. And congratulations, to you and Tommy, you guys are so cute, and sweet together. 😊🥰
    2
  12532. That was awesome. Congrats.
    2
  12533. tokyo looks just like cyberpunk
    2
  12534. No idea how I stumbled on your channel but thank you! Brought back some great memories. Even if one mangles the local dialect the effort is usually appreciated. Thanks for the fun ride
    2
  12535. Looks like I came too early, no questions in the comments. Here's a few questions to get things started. How old is she? Coz she said that passport thing so I could only assume around 18, although she seems older If she studied middle and high school in japan, did she go to university in the states? How was that like? Shifting from one system to another, and where'd she go for uni.? If no university, how come she's retained her accent? Since she's a dancer does she have a youtube channel or anything of that sort apart from instagram? Does she have a boyfriend? (May not want to answer that) but has she had a japanese bf? What was it like? Basically asking how's dating life in japan? What's a few things in japan that makes it better to live in compared to the states? (Without considering the current covid situation and the crazy US elections)
    2
  12536. Great video! This kind of video always motives me to keep going learning chinese!!! Cheers from Brazil!
    2
  12537. Lol Shanghainese ladies love to gossip amongst themselves.
    2
  12538. I know you've been struggling recently but for me, as a Japanese learner, this is the content I like the best. Best of luck! がんばって下さい
    2
  12539. Aww Happy Birthday! ☆
    2
  12540. I would've thought the Japanese would be fascinated with his size, considering their appreciation of Sumo, like the Estonian wrestler, Baruto Kaito - who he slightly resembles..
    2
  12541. YouTube algorithm blessed me with this video. Yo!!!! Did I just see a Tower Records bag?! That use to be my spot! They got rid of the One here in Hollywood I basically grew up at. Tower Records 😥
    2
  12542. Great intro to your channel! I love your work!!
    2
  12543. Thank you for sharing, this is very Insightful though ^^
    2
  12544. She's so beautiful!
    2
  12545. All l can say in Japanese is thank you and yes so I'm screwed, but saying that the few times I've been abroad and eventually got over the explaining I'm English and willing to learn I've had loads of help off the locals as they looked at it as I learned they learned
    2
  12546. OMG I love your videos! Actually I started to learn Chinese and you motivated me so much! It's so nice that Chinese people react so positive if you are speaking Chinese :) That's the best motivation for me, because I really like Chinese people :))
    2
  12547. Tommy's reaction was too cute! 10/10 lol, I never really realized how different the U.S was from Japan, Everything's huge over here!
    2
  12548. I can speak korea
    2
  12549. Girl, you are AMAZING! so much work and effort.
    2
  12550. Your videos always have a "freshness" to them. Your teaching ability shines through as you narrate.
    2
  12551. I lived there for 6 years and I miss Japan. I wish someday I can go travel there.
    2
  12552. Funny when folks like the Japanese guys mention being fat but as long as the body is healthy it somehow registers as, OK. If you go to virtually any hospital on the planet, the vast majority of hospital patients are people who aren't fat. I'd venture to guess that the same would hold true for the vast majority of those who wind up as permanent residents of a cemetery.
    2
  12553. I always find hard times to approache people, scared that I might be annoyance. Even when I was visiting Japan, I missed so many opportunities to make friends. So most of the times, they (mostly locals) would approach me first, and I'm glad with it bcs I know that they would spare some time to talk to me and I can keep the conversation go. Anyway, thankyou for making this video! I learnt more ways to approach a stranger haha. Hope to see more of this kind of video from you!
    2
  12554. I was recommend by YouTube yo follow your channel so I'm newly subscribed. I'm also learning Japanese because I love anime but also love the culture. Your so lucky to live in Japan I'd love to live there but have ties here in England but if it was for that I'd be taking the next flight to Japan. Great video and very insightful ✌🏼🇯🇵
    2
  12555. 你的视频太棒了！我在学英语，你的英语字幕对我帮助很大。
    2
  12556. As a bilingual raised lover of cultures, I love your channel and mostly how you encourage that you are never too old to learn us new things like language or culture. Happy I found your channel because I've put Japanese language learning aside, but now I am encouraged again. In a few hours it will be New Years for you, so Happy 2022 🥳🥂
    2
  12557. What a great family. Very sweet they choose to share. 😊 Happy New Years from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  12558. ive always enjoyed being pulled into random photos while travelling, but absolutely hate anybody pointing a camera in my direction in my home country lol

    2
  12573. I've seen Akaki before. He did a series of discussion videos in Japanese with an Uzbekistan YouTuber called Anora. Nice to see him again.
    2
  12574. Fascinating. This is something I was always curious about. I figured such an area existed in Tokyo, but never saw it until now. Thanks for the informative content. I especially appreciate your inclusion of the demographics of the area.
    2
  12575. Always good to watch!

    2

  12594. This was so wholesome , I am so happy to see all the love ❤
    2
  12595. Why is nobody talking about how clean 6:00 is?!???!
    2
  12596. I'm more impressed how EASILY she moves between languages.
    2
  12597. Didn't know it's economy was that big, might look into learning Japanese then👍
    2
  12598. that reaction to him playing.... priceless! great video and daaaaaang he can play!
    2
  12599. I always check every day for your new video. When I saw you haven’t uploaded on the weekend I had a feeling something was wrong. I hope your family are doing okay. I pray this whole thing goes away soon. Btw The calm before the storm part gave me chills who knew that in a couple of weeks the world would be turned upside down.
    2
  12600. I was in Korean restaurant and one Korean kid came up to me and started singing song : 1 lil Indian 2 lil Indian 3 lil Indian 4 lil Indian ... With hand gestures ... It was so funny as I am Indian (not American, brown Asian Indian) 😂
    2
  12601. The time went so fast watching your video. I like these kind of videos. They are very entertaining. And your positive vibes makes your videos more interesting and more worthwhile.
    2
  12602. Hi Anming! I really like your videos, the freshness is on top, your self-mockery is hilarious. I'm planning to move abroad next year as soon as the global lockdown is lifted. Salutations depuis la France 😁
    2
  12603. I ❤ Pimsleur method
    2
  12604. amazing glimpse into Japanese culture! Awesome Anming!
    2
  12605. How much old footage are you hiding? I feel lied too 😂
    2
  12606. I love this! And the R2-D2 guy is your brother now! I'm looking forward to the next video!
    2
  12607. When you do not get any reaction at all to your Japanese, they just expect your level to be native and they might correct something you said, that is when you know you are doing ok with Japanese... the way a native English speakers do for each other. ^_^
    2
  12608. Thank you! Very interesting and informative!
    2
  12609. Congrats 🎉
    2
  12610. I feel like when I met japanese people they are careless about other person is it true?
    2
  12611. You can’t just lie to our faces like that! Coke is so much better than Pepsi!
    2
  12612. This is really sweet and wholesome. :D I wish I could speak other languages, but I have zero confidence and I tend to stumble on my words. lol You're awesome!
    2
  12613. Well, not the sort of interaction I was expecting, but unless you're on some sort of pickup/dating site. or set by friend relatives, it's still a way to meet members of opposite sex. Happen's in every country in world. I'm assuming the guy spoke some Japanese, but used English as part of the luring technique. In this video you spoke most of the Japanese. Following you on Instagram, but still debating the Facebook thing. I did check out the Facebook site, but can't comment since not on the platform. Liked the material I saw. As always, your content is interesting.
    2
  12614. I can’t wait to finish school so I can go work and live in Japan 🙈❤️
    2
  12615. Thank you for these videos. Whether you are speaking Japanese or Chinese, it's always fun to see people amazed at your fluency and their "relief" that you can converse and understand them. Thank you for sharing these amazing and entertaining videos. :-)
    2
  12616. These videos inspire me to learn languages all over the world! Thank you so much!
    2
  12617. I've noticed that the Japanese don't react as much surprised as the Chinese when you're speaking to them in their native language. Love you video.
    2
  12618. Congratulations to y’all! May God bless you both infinitely. 💙🙏🏻💙
    2
  12619. she can speak in so many language !!

    2
  12622. Such a nice video:) Such good advice! Just talk to someone and you'll learn something:)
    2
  12623. People are so friendly in Japan, even towards foreigners like me who are not very proficient in Japanese.
    2
  12624. So very Brave of you and it saddens me that society lets this happen
    2
  12625. What an interesting guy! Great interview! 😃
    2
  12626. My best friend is half Pakistani (right spelling?) living in Norway and he can relate to these for a lack of better word; scenarios. Thanks for making people more aware :)
    2
  12627. Miss your reaction video.
    2
  12628. Japan is the coolest country in the world.
    2
  12629. Thanks for being honest. I’m not shocked when foreigners can speak other languages. It’s nice but not really shocking.

  12630. Hi sunshine !! it all ways amazes me to see someone go after what they love no matter what kind of disability they have.tell Lisa to look up Toby Lee he is a Guitar player and he knows a man with a hook On one of his hands who plays Incredible.🌷🙏🎼🇺🇸

  12631.  @OrientalPearl  Thank you so much! Didn't know you were following my health situation, really appreciate the kind words! I just sent you a message on instagram

  12633. 🥳1st , Many years of happiness to you both. Please tell us what is enscribed on the right side of the ⛩enchanted entrance at 38seconds ❓🙏
    2
  12634. I commend you in your determination to learn Korean. I would have to say it is more difficult to learn both the Korean spoken and written language as opposed to transitioning from Chinese to Japanese. There are many similarities in the written characters and meaning between Simplified Chinese and Japanese that does not come close to the characters in Korean. My best in your endeavors!
    2
  12635. You guys seem perfect together!
    2
  12636. こういうビデオは大好きですよ！本当にありがとう！
    2
  12637. I'm glad you actually know how to pronounce anime.
    2
  12638. he should come to the UK and see that we dont react on looks at all and go from there. We also have a lot of ex pat nigerians here that he could look into
    2
  12639. That was outstanding.
    2
  12640. Wonderful video as always Pearl !!!!

  12641. You guys are an adorable couple, and you look like you live an awesome life. Thanks for sharing a bit of it with us, I’m really enjoying your videos. And Merry Christmas as well!
    2
  12642. I think it is an opportunity for Mr. Tommy to adapt the lifestyle in America.
    2
  12643. She was in a video on "the black experience in Japan" in late 2018 in a video titles "the beauty standards in Japan are very light skinned".
    2
  12644. I can't wait to seeanother video Oriental Pearl keep up the great work I know it's hard words responded to all your fans and editing videosI know the hard work and I much appreciate you so much much love and respect your Friend Eddie Barron ❤️💯 I'm sorry if I get annoying 😅

    2
  12646. This is very best vedio from yours vlog .Very beautiful video thanks
    2
  12647. I have a major dislike for all things seafood. Trying new restaurants in Japan has been a little difficult for me. I like trying new things, but when I’m not sure what’s in certain dishes I sometimes get a bad surprise, haha!
    2
  12648. Its good to see you happy, and your new apartment looks great :)
    2
  12649. She talked more than I did in a year im so jealous I wish I never had social anxiety it must be nice talking to strangers and making new friends
    2
  12650. I have been watching your videos and applying my language skills but don't pretend to be on your level. I can say that I understand your dialogue without reading the subtitles and you have made a difference.
    2
  12651. I really do enjoy watching your video, you are an amazing polyglot. あなたみたいな人になりたい！実は僕は中国人ですが 日本語もペラペラになりたいです！ 很佩服你，也很喜欢你！！
    2
  12652. This was fun, I used to live in Seoul. Love your dedication.
    2
  12653. お箸の使い方は私と同じ，本当に吃驚した。
    2
  12654. Please...Enjoy your gift. Your Chinese is amazing and it is such a joy to watch!!!!
    2
  12655. It sounds like all the major cities in Japan are as bad as London. No time for anyone else!
    2
  12656. I'm an old geezer, and if I could live my life over again I would immerse myself in the Japanese language and move to Japan. They are a fascinating people.
    2
  12657. The intro was actually really enlightening! I just came cause I like listening to Chinese and Japanese but that was rly interesting
    2
  12658. It's looks perfect for an intimate apartment for a couple. I can't believe how prices are outside the main cities. 300 a month for what you had before, is very expensive, especially when it's a share property. Have a wonderful time getting yourselves acquainted properly without others in the same house.
    2
  12659. 沖縄の座間味島おすすめです！！！
    2
  12660. Congrats on your new home and the 1 million subscribers. Hope the best for your friend Drew. Take care, enjoy it!

  12661. Speaking others languages is a sign of respect not just for youtube likes
    2
  12662. 卒業式の時、ほとんどの高校生が袴を着ないのは高校の制服があるからだと思われます。 (制服のない高校は袴を着るかもしれません) 一方で、大学には制服がないので、代わりに袴を着るんだと思います。
    2
  12663. I lived in Taiwan back in the 90s. I met a few black people there too. A person from the UK and another from the Dominion Republic. They got stares ALL the time. The police would stop them constantly to stare at them. It was pretty annoying I was told. I worked with the UK girl, and she was the best Teacher I'd ever met. And the kids loved her. After they got done touching her hair some insisted on braiding their own like hers. Over 5 years, I got stopped by the police ONCE. Riding my motor bike. Took my helmet off and the look on their faces was hilarious. Good time to pretend not to speak any Chinese and they just waved me on. (Actually, the old guy started busting up, the rookie looked super flustered and TRIED to speak English until he just gave up and waved me on while the old guy held his tummy from laughing so hard). Most of my experience with people staring were girls trying to get me to pick up on them. I was up in a richer area for what reason I can't remember. But a super well dressed girl and her friend kept sort of following me around and speaking English to each other saying things like "Which one should I buy, I can't decide. Does this look good on me?" And getting more and more flustered as I ignored her more and more.
    2
  12664. Great content, as always. It's fun to see you chatting with the locals.
    2
  12665. This is a collaboration I never expected to see, but I love it regardless.
    2
  12666. O.O Ok, you have some skill!
    2
  12667. Very inspiring. Thanks for making this video. I love going where no one speaks English and making friends. You make me want to travel again.
    2
  12668. Actually comparing to China, Japan is just amazing!
    2
  12669. I I speaking 6 languages🇯🇵🇰🇷🇧🇷🇺🇲🇬🇧🇨🇳

  12670. You prove that stereotypes are there to be broken. People often think it's the other person that's anti-social, when actually its more to do with your own attitude and expectations.
    2
  12671. Nice. I love this video. This is what I know about Americans. Not some old grumpy men wanting for war out there. I subscribe. This world needs more videos like this one. :)

  12672. I'm going to be learning Japanese in college and most likely studying abroad (hopefully for a semester or some extended period of time, not like a week) and my main fear is I won't like the food. I wouldn't say I'm terribly picky but I'm not a huge fan of fish and I'm definitely trying to increase my pallet in the time leading up to then

  12681. Omg she's so lovely and pretty , and Murderdolls!! I love that band. It's amazing to see people following what they like , even with some obstacles. I love this.
    2
  12682. Depends on where in Japan. Tokyo and Yokohama areas and some tourist areas, no problem. People are accustomed to foreigners. Out side of those areas any Japanese language ability can go a long ways . The more the better. It's the same in any country actually....

  12683. congratulations 🎊 🙏❤️🇺🇲

  12688. Hey girl :) have you considered doing more sponsorships? I want you to continue growing! Maybe that would make getting more viewers less stressful

  12689. I don’t think people are really angry at polyglots (the real ones, not the ones that say to be one, but isn’t), but they really cringe at people doing youtube videos with titles like: “white people speaking perfect Japanese/Chinese/Korean”, especially because it’s not perfect, it’s click bait and a way to just brag about themselves. And why the “white people” remark? Like, I have seen this in many Americans or Canadians videos… have you ever been to Europe?? Many Europeans are bilingual, like they really have two mother tongues, and they can speak a third one too, so…🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know, it’s like (white) Americans need some kind of validation or something? And yeah, I do cringe at those titles/youtube videos too🤷🏻‍♀️ and hey, I’m speaking as a white European, having two mother tongues, learning English and French at school, and then German and Japanese (currently living in Japan)🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ For example, I reeeeeally like Lindie Botes, she is a polyglot, but she doesn’t brag about it, you can tell she really likes learning about different languages and cultures

  12690. Sei fantastica ! Love from italy

  12691. I love japan so much❤️

  12692. Here's one: On the way to the Shanghai Pudong airport, I'd always see a whole buncha cars parked literally on the side of the fwy. I know they don't just all decide to break down at the same time at the same spot.. So I found out from my driver that they're just chillin hanging out and perhaps waiting for their next job. Hmm.. Ooohhh-kayy...? Just on the side of the Fwy..? And most of them if not all just kinda u know, like whip it out and piss and who know what else right there too. Now that's just the first thing that comes to my mind, but I'm sure I got more lol

  12693. Harbeeeeeeen

  12695. You guys are cute <3

  12696. For years I had wanted to learn Chinese but was always afraid and held back because of my fear of the tones! watching your videos really inspired me to kick myself into gear and just start! I have been taking 3 one on one classes a week online since september on Italki and after the first month and getting a good grip on Pinyin and LOTS of practice and coaching, that fear has completely disappeared and I have begun to develop a real love for this language. So thanks for that boost of inspo that made me take the plunge! :)
    2
  12697. She's been blessed by the YT algorithm . This video brought a smile to me. Very inspired to learn JPN, but I already have an Asian face so it probably wont change much how I'm preceived if I ever go to Jpn lol.

  12703. Chinese living in Yokohama Chinatown are more polite than Japanese.They are different from the native Chinese.

  12704. I was actually shocked that the kids were learning Chinese over Spanish in Phoenix then again I assumed Tucson is teaching Spanish, but I wouldn't know because I never visited one of the schools on my way to Flagstaff. ⛟🇺🇸

  12705. 5:48 Japan and their toilets 😹🚽

  12706. At the time I was too interested playing rugby at university to consider studying abroad 😂. I really wish I had though. So now I'm hoping my company will send me on short assignments to Tokyo. So at least now I'll be able to stay in a nice hotel and be able to afford lots of cool things!
    2
  12707. I’m from San Antonio Texas and Kumamoto is considered our sister city. So kumamon is the only one I know out of all the mascots 😭

  12720. Alexander Arguelles is the polyglot Matt was referring to. Definitely the real deal, I've personally spoken to him in several languages.
    2
  12721. The happy lady is a grandmother for the world, what a wonderful happy woman. I understand that Japanese society is not very animated in character or behaviour, but seeing someone so warm and funny was lovely to witness, and she represented Japan and people of a certain age beautifully.
    2
  12722. Her grandma collected pre-paid cards, meanwhile in Brazil our public phones used coins when I was a kid.

  12725. Cute husband
    2
  12726. What a great point: if you put yourself out there as a perfect speaker of a foreign language, this might discourage people by making them think they'll only get as fluent after many years of struggles.
    2
  12727. I miss japan! :(
    2
  12728. keep up the good content! thx
    2
  12729. Thanks, Anming! I'm currently learning Japanese and without a doubt, videos of Westerners speaking fluent Japanese (and specially your videos) always top up my motivation! So massive thanks for continuing to produce more and more videos, and on interesting topics and with interesting locals! Thanks also for the JapanesePod101 recommendation, which has been great - wish it had been my first resource. Although Duolingo has became revolutionary since I started typing my answers (rather than just ordering the 'word blocks'), especially since you get instant feedback. Hope to see you in Japan next year! :D
    2
  12730. I was there at Kadena 78-82 there use to be swarms of jellyfish along the sea walls but my filipina wife wasn't much into site seeing and water sports......lol she did like to bowl and play slot machines on base.....lol and she liked to party....dancing and stuff. Huge changes from my time there also been watching other peoples video of the island.......have fun cheers :)

  12733. This is very motivating, I have an older cousin currently teaching english in south korea and here you were teaching in both china and japan. I understand there are pros and cons of the teaching job but I want to look into a career like that too. Taiwan would be my country of choice since i did study abroad there for 3 months
    2
  12734. As an archer I approve! ☺️

  12735. hahaha "your tummy is different from mine" is a nice way to say you are fat

  12736. i am puerto rican from the island and by default an american citizen (we all are but many americans don't seem to know that somehow). my wife is wonderfully japanese and has for many years her german citizenship. we both live in germany by choice and are very happy with our decision of being here. of course we speak english, spanish, german and in her case only, also japanese. we are older, well traveled and i can say i really like the freshness and natural way your videos turn out. they are like a little trip somewhere, very casual, appealing and honest :-) like them!
    2
  12737. I’m in love
    2
  12738. I don't know why but finding out we're from the same area has got me motivated to pound Japanese into my head, if you can do it so can I!! I'm 23 and hoping it's not impossible to at least learn a baseline ❤
    2
  12739. That kill Bill costume is a keeper
    2
  12740. Thanks for your fascinating videos.
    2
  12741. You can add my shock count. I was actually more elated when you started speaking Japanese. Even though I do not understand either of the language, it is amazing to hear you speak it! All I know is English, Tagalog, and maybe 60-70% Spanish.
    2
  12742. Thanks for putting in the hard work to document your life. I get a level of authenticity and your videos just seem more "real" without all these generic stock intro music and minimalist low-fi themes.
    2
  12743. You are an inspiration 💯❣ Stay safe in your adventures 🇺🇲✌
    2
  12744. Hope you stay over there, the United states is getting p r e t t y bad over here
    2
  12745. LMAO, you were exposed Anming! What an understanding guy, I'm glad he enjoys you there and the free advertising is always a bonus ;) I wondered with all the uniquely Asian foods if you had a favourite veggie or fruit from Asia what would it be? Dragonfruit? I used to have Asian Pears in my lunchbox for school because I enjoyed them so much when I was younger. Another one I remember seeing is the big long beans that they have! Not anything like the usual ones I see in North America. Wow, that lady was the best for coming after you to give your wallet back!
    2
  12746. Nice to see you both having a good time. I mean if you already have your experience with rain how come you didn't have your boots and rubber ducky along for the trip 😂😂😂. Your channel quality is improving from video to video. Very colorful. Keep those Pearls coming.
    2
  12747. I read a little French, German, and Spanish every day. I wish I had more time for indepth study, but my primary research (in history) won't allow it. Nevertheless, I appreciate your videos. You're an enormous inspiration!
    2
  12748. I like it tho
    2
  12749. Good afternoon from 🇸🇬 fantastic video , bring back memories of Japan lifestyle ,U are the best youtuber , creative,brave , friendly Thanks

  12750. We need to sanitize our minds....and I love that I recognize your Chinese friend now. The vendor on the street, I should clarify. (Before you did the flashback)
    2
  12751. すごい

  12752. Chinese people are very genuine with reactions so they will turn their head more
    2
  12753. you really rocked the Kimono! just beautiful!
    2
  12754. I think you’ve been going long enough that maybe have a branded mask or something unique, as I’m sure the majority of people would love to be in your vids. Keep it up!
    2
  12755. This was really an interesting highlight! A very intelligent guy able to be an insider of about 4 cultures at least. He is able to be himself, albeit thats not easy, i assume. And he is funny like heck. He should be in diplomatic service or the like. But to be a movie artist counts as well. Very impressive.
    2
  12756. 好久不见 我喜欢看见你的频道 你身体保重 你在东京 c-19注意安全

  12757. Have you ever tried to master Cantonese?, my wife is from Hong Kong and i find Canto much easier than Mandarin for me its the pronounce its almost the same mouth and tongue movement as English. Anyway love your vids stay safe
    2
  12758. It's insane how you switch between languages like it's nothing 🤯 it's amazing

    2
  12760. Congratulations on the new home. It's looks amazing.

  12762. His reactions are so cute. My husband is a red wings fan.

Love your cute hubby , if I had my life to live all over again it definitely would be somewhere oriental.Cant wait to save up for my cruise to Japan next year xx
    2
  12764. It's really neat seeing you do all this and especially going back and forth to different languages Watching you really makes me wanna learn honestly I love anime and knowing Japanese I won't have to use subtitles anymore or I can see it anyways just so I can see the difference I will try to learn, but I'm a hard learner!

  12769. Wow,excellent dancer She is!
    2
  12770. my wish would be to talk all the asian languages, but unfortunately my talent does not lie in languages and i'm unable to put in the effort. jealeous and happy for you at the same time. chinese are funny. they don't mean it in a bad way, that's how they are. my wife is from Nanjing China. all the best. and happy new year to you. may you reach 1mio subs soon :)
    2
  12771. I am Chinese, 35 year old. I speak English and Japanese. Both are intermediate level. Nice to see you.
    2
  12772. Great to watch some serious stuff that gives more meaningful travel than merely pretty things and play.
    2
  12773. How does a woman get more gorgeous every new video? ! ? WoW ! 😍
    2
  12774. I would really love to see you take on Spanish again and show us how you can master it and how long it would take to reach a fluent level.
    2
  12775. Hi anming! Would love to hear your opinion on something. What do you think of each language’s usage of hanzi characters? Obviously Chinese is fully characters, Japanese is partially characters, and Korean abandoned characters completely. Is Korean truly “easier” without characters like some ppl might think? And do you wish Korean still used mixed script like Japanese? ❤❤❤
    2
  12776. I downloaded pimsleur 😃
    2
  12777. I love your videos so much!! You are always laughing and having fun!!❤ 🤩 I enjoy the talking in different languages no matter who it’s with, it is always impressive!! Keep up the great work!! ❤🙏❤️
    2
  12778. damn, your making me jealous... I've been living in Japan for the past 7ish months and I speak decent Japanese... but now you're making me want to learn Chinese too XD maybe ill get to meet you in Ikebukuro sometime if the virus situation calms down!
    2
  12779. Great video, thanks for promoting Pimsleurs. I have made so much progress with that compared to other ones.
    2
  12780. Ohhhhhh i like the reactions of the patreons! So glad to hear you are making friends. Crazy things are happening here in america right now. in all my years, ive never seen anything like it :(
    2
  12781. I'm Chinese and you put my Mandarin to shame. I can't even read or write!
    2
  12782. They are many people on here who don't really speak the languages on advanced levels to get ratings. You and the guy on the video speak very well on many levels 😊
    2
  12783. Always fun to see you having fun. I will never need antidepressants as long as I have you to cheer me up. If you could bottle it a fortune is yours to be made. (thanks)
    2
  12784. Hey Anming thank you for showing us around, much appreciated and this video restored some confidence in me to cut some slack to strangers, you have a big heart Anming, I would be very cautious like a scardy cat from people that I don't know in the slums.........
    2
  12785. these videos make me want to start learning mandarin again
    2
  12786. Great videos! Do you want some advice on making your videos a bit better?
    2
  12787. Loved how you used Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem. 😅
    2
  12788. I love seeing people’s reactions!!
    2
  12789. I would say you look Russian too.
    2
  12790. Wouldn't Westerners NOT learning other languages and expecting them to know English be the thing that smacked of Colonial mentality?
    2
  12791. Happy New Year party!! with 150k subs.
    2
  12792. How did you learn to speak japanese?😍
    2
  12793. 他真好棒啊！ I wish I could be a polyglot.
    2
  12794. It must be weird for Americans that go to Japan to go from Oversized to undersized portion sizes. Being European we get the one in between which I think is the best one and we don't get too overwhelmed going to US/JP lol
    2
  12795.  @OrientalPearl  TV and You Tube? They are synonymous now. YT has become network television. Ads infinitum.

  12800. Hi. I love watching your videos and I just subscribed.
    2
  12801. Please consider adding chinese/japanese subtitles to your video! It would be greatly appreciated for all of us learning said languages! Thank you so much for your videos!
    2
  12802. How long did you study mandarin? I'm currently self studying mandarin
    2
  12803. I've been trying to learn Chinese for ten years on and off, and I'm not consistant with it enough to really know much. I must say though that I'm very happy to see this video, because there are videos by Xiaoma that make me feel like I should just give up, BUT as a hobby, its pretty fun.
    2
  12804. They are in the show business. Do you get bothered by actors in The Man in the High Castle because many of the Asian actors in it don't speak fluent Japanese? Most people wouldn't be able to tell.
    2
  12805. Haters are simply projecting themselves. It comes from a place of insecurity, arrogance, inadequacy - the list goes on. You'll find that they are mostly faceless as well, ugliness inside and out. It takes a lot of confidence to put yourself out there on the internet, and being confident requires a realistic sense of one’s capabilities. This is something your haters don't have, they haven't got the skills to do so therefore feel the need to put others down just to make themselves feel better.
    2
  12806. cute :hand-pink-waving:
    2
  12807. Did you know the man on the plane where you were poking him then you put your head on his shoulder and he put his head on yours? Well that was really cute and kinda of an Adrianett moment

  12810. I was in Japan for 17 days in 2010. It was very interesting. Before going I thought I would love Kyoto the most, but after I got home it was Tokyo which stood out the most for some reason. I had learned some basics at evening school before going there but I have forgotten it all now :-(
    2
  12811. The same thing happens to Asian people living in the States. Americans will compliment Asians on their English even if they've been living in America for many years or sometimes their entire life.
    2
  12812. no, Beans Beans the musical fruit the more you eat the more YOU TOOT so lets have beans for every meal.

  12815. People who criticize you for living in China tend to be very narrow minded about a lot of things. They are not worth your time. They take civilization backwards.
    2
  12816. Thank you for sharing this beautiful day with us. It was really interesting to see how the catholic ceremony is held in Japan. I wish you a long and happy life together! 😊💖

    2
  12827. So three years ago, my wife and I when to Japan for our honeymoon. While there we also try Kyudo at the same gym in your video we had a different instructor, it was a lot of fun. Cool video btw!
    2
  12828. You're right about just throwing yourself out there and not being afraid of messing up. Every mess up is a learning process and improvement opportunity.
    2
  12829. You are amazing. Love the videos and the reactions. This is how we connect as humans by learning and doing what you do so with excellence. Thank you. 🙏🏾
    2

  12838. It's like they say Sis! When you get your first dislike you're on the way for some growth on Youtube! It may not be my place but I only wish to help in offering this advice that I'm sure you already know but I believe helps to be reminded from an outside source: Always remember and refer back to why you started this journey and then started this channel. It seems that it wasn't for other people, but to prove to yourself that you've grown and changed to be able to do something like this; and also to be proud to be able to look back and see how far you've come. Continue to focus on these intrinsic motivations and I promise you, we your fans will figure out how to act in the long run :P Remain unbothered and always forward gazing <3 (I would say add gas but I'm on my laptop so no Hanyu keyboard XD) Much Love Jie Jie.

  12839. YOU ARE LEGIT AF! POOP ON THOSE WHO ARE HATING ON YOU! PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS HATE WHAT THEY CAN'T DO THEMSELVES! KEEP STRIVING! KEEP PUSHING! KEEP DOING! I HOPE THIS YEAR GETS BETTER FOR YOU!!!!!

  12840. I think it would be interesting if you both could once a month meet up because the chemistry is undeniable you work well together. The rickshaw man was a star too, such a warm human being and a credit to Japan.

  12841. Awesome party 🥳

  12842. I love anime.. but i dont read manga's :)

  12843. How awesome that you are so young and living this life. Good for you. Such a blessing to be able to experience this now. Enjoy. Blessings from So. California, Lisa

  12844. 4:38 I got that Blue Clues reference. You really are a woman of culture.

  12845. It looks so beautiful! Is there a lot of hiking places in japan? Maybe that's an idea of filming yourself doing a hike in japan.
    2
  12846. Ooh I would love to visit China! The history, the food and pandas, and the people of course. I’m living vicariously through you little sister, can’t wait to see where we go next. Yes, I said we. Consider me new baggage lol💃
    2
  12847. Wow, just wow. I daily use English (although it's my third foreign language), and I hear Chinese and Japanese a lot. With this background, to my ears, her Chinese and Japanese are even somewhat better than her English. She is amazing.
    2
  12848. In going to Japan in Dec and watching this video had gotten me so excited for my trip
    2
  12849. Being multilingual/polyglot isn't the real hurdle. The real one is how one executes one's multilingual skills in public without being misunderstood. (Also having a camera recording people without looking suspicious.)
    2
  12850. Your laugh is so cute
    2
  12851. I think your videos show how much natives appreciate how well you speak. I think it means a lot to them and I already wanted to speak multiple languages, but watching your videos inspire me to do something about it. And right now one of the biggest topics in America “aka the melting pot” is racism. Encouraging people to learn other languages is breaking down those walls of racism. Isn’t that what we want? I don’t get how people could take this in a negative way.

  12852. that hat is from Nepal. We call it dhaka topi lol

  12853. This is peak living Very impressive
    2
  12854. Not sure why, but I find your videos mesmerizing 🐱
    2
  12855. I find the most impressive thing of all isnt that you know several languages (though that's very impressive itself) its your ability to seamlessly switch from one to another, id constantly be mixing them up.
    2
  12856. That guy with the shoulder length hair with bleached ends that said “I hate everybody” presumably half-jokingly absolutely cracked me up! No one is special! Lol

  12857. great video, the places you travel to looked amazing 👏
    2
  12858. If you visit indonesia you'll find more crowded houses almost in everywhere.

  12859. I have no idea why these videos are so addictive. Maybe Oriental Pearl's personality. Love watching her in various situations. She is always kind, polite and funny.
    2
  12860. Congratulations 🎊!
    2
  12861. Learning a language brings life to the people... I love your videos because they allow me to experience Japan without having to be there, such lovely videos, people, and most importantly the pearl in all of them thank you very much
    2
  12862. Fantastic Video... Sobering.... More like this Anming...
    2
  12863. The music and the clips of the outdoor really illustrate the strangeness and longing of the current situation across the world. The way you go from an active speaking clip to an Erie sounding clip from the past with no audio really looks to me exactly like reminiscing on past events in my own mind. I've never even thought of capturing this or doing so in such a way. Amazing. You are so bright and talented, friendly and loving soul. I'm sure we would be good friends. I'm Lauren, by the way. From Rhode Island. You're doing wonderfully (:

  12872. When you wiped the drops off the camera, I thought about Wett T-shirt Contest.😜 Have you really gone barefoot, on that pleace? I would have tummy pain now. 😫😭😫, it Hurts just Whatshing it. Aua.... The traffic is the best, no traffic jam. and the school children, quite easy through it. 👍👍👍. Its one of the expirience, i would like to do.
    2
  12873. Beautiful video. One of the best of its kind I've seen. I love visiting Japan and talking to people there. Your video brought back fond memories of my travels in Japan. The quality of your video is very good. Thank you.
    2
  12874. I really enjoy watching all of your videos. I wish you can organize a fans meeting and I will come with no doubt 😄
    2
  12875. As long as there's some transparency then I don't really think it's wrong to pretend to be able to speak many languages, being fake on the internet is how tons of youtubers make money and as long as people understand that a lot of it is fake then it's totally fine
    2
  12876. Wow, I was so shocked! it is so crazy to know that 1 teacher handle 60 kids, in my country, the limit has always be 1 teacher to 15 kids

  12885. Question is tuition expensive?in comparison to the U S
    2
  12886. Hmm my opinion as a chinese. I don’t think by replying thank you when being complimented is a rude thing to say.
    2
  12887. Finding your channel is the best I´ve found. I try being self-taught chinese, and I know japanese meaning by ear, even though, cant read kanji since its hard since i gotta study from english and I speak spanish.. , seeing you makes me dream about being in your place and really boosts me. You just showed me the finish line I needed:).
    2
  12888.  @OrientalPearl I'm not sure whey you aren't getting the views your videos are so so good. I prefer these videos to be honest 😀
    2
  12889. I love these videos anyway.I'm Way In the hills of Montana. and I don't believe dee hype but like the educated people. just enjoyed .. Playa z always play n h- 7+1..

  12891. What's crazy to me is her NZ English accent is all but gone and her English more resembles an American English accent!
    2
  12892. Don’t you get claustrophobic? I certainly would. Love your insight to Japanese and Chinese life , please keep on making videos.
    2
  12893. Bruhhhhhhh you're too cute for this world
    2
  12894. A real contrast between your current videos and the early ones. You have a good sense of humor, quite dry at times. "A bunch of guys that don't want to go home." :-D
    2
  12895. Gawd Damn you're fit!!

  12896. Side note: love the plaid skirt/red top/jacket combo~. Kawaii🤩

  12897. I am actually learning Japanese right know I watch you because you can show me different things about japan so thank you for making videos about a place that I love
    2
  12898. I could be wrong however I think that the only people that like Russians are Russian lol! I’m from Australia and love your videos…they have given me the motivation to learn Japanese at the age of 51. Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏🏼🫶🏼

  12899. The country side seems so peaceful, I might visit there instead of Tokyo. I don't know really still deciding

  12900. I’ve been studying for 9 months now (mandarin) and I’ve only spoken to like a total of 12 or 15 people in Chinese but my last conversation was alright the lady said that I was alright and understood what I was saying another guy said I was not bad for 9 months but Ima study for 3 hours today fuck it

  12901. Randomly chooses name from Chinese name book..ohh forgot to mention, was enjoying nice bottle of wine at same time !! Lol !!

  12904. I’m still praying 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🕊for your Safety, Future Endeavors and Academic Goals. When you return to China...I only hope you’ll continue to post your incredible journeys, these impromptu events and daily experiences. I feel that I’m traveling vicariously through you... Beautiful Anming. I’m certain your family is very proud of your accomplishments and exceptional character that you display throughout your posts. I absolutely love the Santa Clauses. May your New Year be even more Blessed. From your Indigenous Native American friend in Northern California. 🥳❤️👍🏽😉🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m also praying your roommates are doing well during this quarantine. They All seem like excellent friends to “live” with and I get the close family members vibe in the posts. I definitely prefer the extra highlighting in your hair. Both Hair Salons seem to provide 5STAR 👌🏽🌟 Customer Service..great advertising for Japan. Keep up the Great Content in your Adventurous Posts. 🙇🏻‍♀️🔍💕

  12910. I love your videos Really, they are awesome and so educative
    2
  12911. Gosh I can totally relate. I’m currently teaching Chinese in a private school in Spain. It’s actually my second year here but I still can not be able to control the kids. To be honest my first year was even worse. I went to work, had terrible classes and went back home crying like a baby... The thing is I couldn’t help bringing the feeling of frustration into my personal life. Fortunately things are getting better this year but class management is still a pain in the ass. I literally just talked about this with my colleague, a very professional English teacher today that I need to try different approaches. Idk how long can I take it like this but I will try haha
    2
  12912. Nice episode. Keep posting! I'm living through you since I'm stuck inside the house here in Toronto (2nd wave shutdown now). Wish I was back in Japan or Singapore :)

  12913. lmao when he started speaking french the subtitles stopped at Bonjour 🤣

  12914. よくわかんないけど中国の子供たちは外国人に抵抗ないけど 日本の子供たちは少し警戒してる それと観光が最高 みたいな感じ？
    2
  12915. I've been to France - I made a new friend and it's like we had a mutual non verbal agreement that I couldn't speak French well and she couldn't speak English well. We'd compliment and encourage each other every so often, but we would also laugh together at our pronunciation. (It depends on the person, people can feel embarrassed or hurt by laughter when trying different languages!) Regarding languages from Asia ~ Vietnamese. I am half Vietnamese and so I try my best to speak it as often as I can. I know for a fact that my pronunciations are off -- I can't pronounce the accents (practically non existent). But when I go to the Vietnamese market, order food at a Vietnamese restaurant, or speak to strangers... They would often say, "Oh, you speak well. You know Vietnamese? How? Is your mom or dad Vietnamese...?" and they would engage with me in a small talk convo to keep practicing my Vietnamese. I think it's really nice to hear the compliment even if they don't truly mean it because it gives me confidence to continue speaking and practicing out loud.
    2
  12916. Congrats on your 1million subscribers🎉 and your new home. Very well deserved. I hope to see more videos. You are super inspiring ❤
    2
  12917. Thank you for this video! I'd be so interested to hear more about your journey!!! You are an inspiration! I found your channel because I was looking for videos about working in China because I am currently waiting to see if I get a job in China soon! it'll be my first time in Asia, can't wait!!

  12918. That house you have is beautiful however the rent I pay for my Apt. in California would probably pay your houses mortgage.
    2
  12919. Great video!! Thanks for sharing. I'm jealous of your Mandarin skills! I like that you said you've never heard anyone say anything bad. I think we have to think of it like this: do we usually gossip and say bad things about people who look foreign in our own countries? I've never heard anyone say anything bad about someone who looks foreign in my country, so I can assume that most people in other countries also don't say anything bad about me or others who look foreign there. :) We're just paranoid, like you said. Thanks again for the great video!

  12920. Rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck 👍 Much happiness to the both of you 👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻💕
    2
  12921. Great camaraderie between you two. :D If someone is really proficient in their mother tongue plus another one or two other languages then they can make a living as an interpreter. But those who only have a basic understanding of ten or twenty different languages…I can’t see any use except making (shocking people) YouTube videos.
    2
  12922. LoL...I don't know what to say ...I think they compliment others as an encouragement 😁❤️
    2
  12923. Love this VLOG..!!! Something different, very interesting and super fun... 🤙😂🙋
    2
  12924. That was really lovely the people reminded you visiting their place. 😊
    2
  12925. I would love to travel like you do and learn new languages at the end of my studies :)
    2
  12926. If I could subscribe twice, I would. You being a polyglot in Asian languages being an American from Detroit is truly amazing.
    2
  12927. Great video. Maybe it’s just me but at first there seemed to be a tangible sense of guardedness on their part regarding your presence there, or maybe just curious that/since you are American. But it seemed they warmed up as you demonstrated that you clearly knew what you were talking about haha. And the GoPro dude was exceptional :) Nice to see.
    2
  12928. lol that guy was trying to hit on you
    2
  12929. I loved the stereotypical narration voice 😂 Good to see you're enjoying life to the fullest!

  12930. I speak fluently in 4 languages English, gibberish, bullshit and a language i use to talk to babies, cats and dogs... Am i a polyglot thot yet?
    2
  12931. Wouters, Lindie Bote ,Steve Kauffman,Gabriel poliglota,Lucas lampariello,Oriental Pearl,Laoshu,Ikena,Cole etc.they don't need to show to anybody that they re truly polyglots.the rest that criticize them .they are a bunch of losers and Haters.learn languages take time,sacrifice,and effort is not that easy.please give some credits to them.they deserve it. Pd:I love your videos Oriental Pearl.
    2
  12932. You're doing "on-the-ground" work of a future politician/diplomat, or maybe a humanitarian on a bigger scale. You're able to connect to people inter-culturally & bring s-m-i-l-e-s to their faces & their hearts! Keep it up. 😀👍
    2
  12933. Learning Chinese after watching Laoshu. I like how easy it is to follow your videos. Subscribed!

  12934. I always wanted to speak their language like Japanese,China,Korean,Mandarin,and many more<3..But I’ll forget how to say them😅
    2
  12935. You speak good Japanese, love your video and I will try to speak to them once I visit Japan
    2
  12936. Great video!👍🏾 That guy who carried guys was so sweet & funny! 😎 Katie is gorgeous, btw!🤗💜
    2
  12937. You are very inspirational. Just found your channel just recently. English-Spanish speaker here, learned Mandarin & Japanese in college. I'm feeling motivated now to pursue these languages again, thank you 😄
    2
  12938. Aww. I just caught the tail end of this live
    2
  12939. I'm from Detroit originally. I live in Clearwater, FL now. I loved this! Thanks.
    2
  12940. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I enjoy seeing the wonder & astonishment on their faces when you address them in their own language. How l wish.
    2
  12941. I've been waiting for what seemed like forever for a new video. Then you release this brilliant video. So worth the wait. I not only like the day in the life content of Tommy and Anming, but when you interact in multiple languages, mixing and matching it just takes the video to next level. I pity the fools who don't subscribe to your channel, they know not what they miss, and miss they do. I'm able to say a few phrases in multiple languages, but not competent in any. Still working about 4 hrs a day on my Japanese and because of this blond girl from Michigan, I don't have look far for inspiration. If she can use multiple languages effectively, shirley I can become somewhat competent in one. I go through days, sometimes weeks of frustration, and then one morning I get up, and what I couldn't comprehend just makes sense. I'm putting in the work, but I drawn so much inspiration from who told me it's hard work, and to succeed you'll have to put in months and years of work. So don't be lazy, just knuckle down, buckle down and do it. Then you give your viewers a gift like this, demonstrating in real time and real life, how the world open up. Happy year of the rabbit to you and Tommy.

  12942. Your videos crack me up. You are very smart and adorable. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.

  12943. I have learned the fact that some people are predisposed to being on the heavy side, I used to do long distance swimming and there was this guy who did the same as me but certainly look much heavier, nevertheless he looks fit. We can look big, but with discipline and consistent exercising, we still can look fit, like sumo wrestler.
    2
  12944. Beyblade is still big? My kids kind of lost interest already.
    2
  12945. I wish there was a laughing button for the first moments of the video!
    2
  12946. Always enjoy this channel and now want Korean food. 😃
    2
  12947. It is a bit difficult for me to listen to English (there are words that I do not understand), but I can read it perfectly, what a spectacular video, I hope to see many more
    2
  12948. I love, love, love reaction videos! It’s always interesting to see how people react to you speaking!

  12949. 0:37 Will that song offense the black community in US ?

  12950. your channel so good your so underrated
    2
  12951. Tommy in his sunglasses and Michigan hoodie!! Priceless. 😍 Also when he was saying "#1" at the USA themed tree. Hilarious!! And at the game when you turned around and he was standing there with all those drinks. 🤣He's adorable, what a good guy!! Also, why did I cry when the two of you approached that giant outdoor xmas tree?? 😅 ALSO... out of curiosity, where you live in Japan, what are winters like? I'm guessing not as cold as here? (I'm in Ohio, lol.) Ok, and finally!! I loved that he got to look at your pics from when you were a kid too!! I remember the video when you saw his pics. So that's really cute!! Thank you for sharing all of this with us!! I hope you both (and the rest of your family) had a great Thanksgiving time!!

  12952. staring like this is CRINGE. you are beautiful and suuuper respectful. love your channel

  12954. im the 100th like

  12955. Unrelated to the topic of the video but I love your style
    2
  12956. I love all your videos!! I'm learning English and Japanese so they're so motivating to me!!!! I'm going to do a Cambridge exam next week and I'm using your videos to practise my listening hahaha Thanks😋✌💖💖💖💖
    2
  12957. This was a good video because it was different but the core of who you are makes it so good.
    2
  12958. The way you pronounced "supermarket" in the beginning of this video makes me want to ask if you have noticed a change in your English? I am wondering if your fluency in Chinese is influencing your English?
    2
  12959. Am I the only one that thinks she looks Japanese? I've lived in Tokyo for over a year and her body language seems 100% Japanese, and that style of auburn-ish dyed hair isn't THAT rare. Also, kid's singer' being ' 歌のお姉さん/Utanōnēsan' I just learned now. For some reason I just thought it was kid's entertainer.

  12960. 老同学，你很优秀，哈哈哈！

  12961. Always love a nomad push collaboration

  12962. YT recommended this video and I'm glad that I clicked it! I've read the description and it's really refreshing to see a YouTuber providing helpful links to learn something new rather than the usual merch. Kudos! On another note, you speak Mandarin so well!
    2
  12963. Congrats... 4:19 Kōrakuen is an awesome gardens and castle that is well worth the visit.. Cheers.
    2
  12964. I’ve only been learning Japanese for two months on Rosetta Stone and Duolingo (these resources are free and my mom bought Rosetta Stone for my birthday so its all I got) and already understand a lot in this video.
    2
  12965. this is wonderful
    2
  12966. I get super paranoid when I’m driving and the same car has been behind me for more that 5 minutes. I can’t imagine how unsettling it would feel if someone was following me in person. Hope you stay safe and take care! ^_^
    2
  12967. happy bday! this was so sweet
    2
  12968. LOVE
    2
  12969. I've lived in Okinawa for over 10 years and my Japanese still sucks because everywhere I go, people want me to speak English so they can practice what they are learning with me. You've inspired me to make an honest effort to improve.
    2
  12970. in a 2021 world, this reaction and behavior makes me kind of sad. this is something i expected in the 70s, but not 50 years later

  12971. she didn't want to tell him what a gweilo is. LOL

  12973. New subscriber here! Greetings from Spain!
    2
  12974. One day I'd like to be able to speak Japanese on a conversational level. My listening skills are better than my speaking or reading skills though. But I recently got a dictionary app that breaks down kanji and has quizzes on sentences and stuff. Not to mention I can type anything in to the search bar and it will break it all down. It's such a good study tool ^_^
    2
  12975. Earlyyy! I've been binge watching all your vids lately, I am near to watching them all
    2
  12976. We have those "tricky" puzzles in Brazil as well, in the past my poder sister gave me one called "cruzeta" (idk if there is an equivalent term in English). Basically, you have two pieces of wood connected to each other forming a cross. Inside the two pieces there are little metal cilinders that stick out from the piece. So, when you connect the pieces and spin the cruzeta really fast clockwise, the metals will move due to the centrifugal force and "bolt" the two pieces into one. The only way to separate each other is, logically, to spin the cruzeta rapidly in the opposite direction. Well, that was not the quite the point of your video but I just remembered this the moment I saw the puzzle haha. Anyway, great video once again!
    2
  12977. Hahaha I love this episode! He's like a Chris Farley in Japan. I love it when he said you just gotta find where you fit in.. lol
    2
  12978. You have all the Japanese mannerisms it's so cool. Also Japanese, Korean and Spanish... I'm starting to think are the most beautiful sounding languages in the world. Love your content from Australia 🎌❤️🇦🇺
    2
  12979. Thank you for this very informative video. As someone who's working for the first time under a Japanese client I would love to see a video next time about writing business emails. It's a topic I'm having difficulty in spotting here on YouTube so I'm excited to see your take on it! Cheers from the Philippines

  12988. You have an amazing talend

  12989. We are living in a era of information bombardment. Many of the information providers keep reinforcing the stereotypes people already have because they like these, which eventually turns into a vicious circle. Being an open minded and rational person is important in this globalized world. Thanks for the in-depth discussion. Greetings from China. 👍

  12994. Hallo !!! was ist dein Lieblings Manga ??? Yo-Go-Oh oder Dragon Ball ???

  12995. I'm not sure if I would really count Japanese people as being rude for asking about someone's weight and being surprised when they see overweight people. On the one hand, tons of people will say it's taboo and outright rude to ask someone's weight. On the other hand, when did it become decided that that was taboo and rude? I know it's common in Asian countries for people to be direct about weight. I know that in Western society it was deemed "fat shaming" to even look at an obese person the wrong way. But in Japan it's so uncommon to see it. If you consider it rude to point that out, I could say it's rude when they point out that I'm a black guy in Japan with big hair. I don't find it rude. It's just something they're not used to seeing. It's all about looking at this from outside of society. American society: we have obese mannequins in Target because being obese is trendy Japanese society: you're lucky to find a shirt your size if you're a large. That's just how I see it.

  12996. Its a traditional nepali cap. That reflects Nepal.
    2
  12997. After spending more than a year on Okinawa, I was never aware of the interesting features of the adjoining and remote islands such as beaches and waterfalls.
    2
  12998. Your Chinese is so good!
    2
  12999. Those tabi sneakers were quite interesting. Doesn't seem like they would be that comfortable but I guess it's a way of blending traditional appearance with modern footwear technology.
    2
  13000. Wow, you are good at playing the guitar, by the way, I am a cancer fighter by watching your video I am excited to fight my disease, thank you
    2
  13001. You both are 100% a pleasure to learn from and you both are 100% human and that's all that really matters. Yes there are different cultures, but those are also interesting and not defining of who you are. Cultures are 99% interesting and we should embrace the differences.

  13002. Sado Island looks like a beautiful place to stop by if you're in Niigata 🙂

  13003. Just amazing!!! So inspirational and now Vietnamese.
    2
  13004. Wow! You do look like a traditional Japanese shogun (將軍), Miss Alyssa, welding sword shotgun, or bow. Shoot it with your best aim. 🏹 A fusion of American/Western and Japanese.

  13005. Some clean area.
    2
  13006. I had am amazing day walking around Osaka. But the highlight of my day was when going up station escalators and a six year old Japanese girl in front of me turned around and smiled at me in amazement the whole time. It made my day!
    2
  13007. Congratulations. Wow, that cathedrals just, wow! I’m catholic and haven’t been to mass in years but, I would go every week if that was my parish. Again, congratulations.

  13008. @ Oriental Pearl hope you are living life great and doing the great things you have always wanted to do you have made it very far in your life i can tell and that's what im planning on wanting to do badly and my dreams will come true.
    2
  13009. Everytime i watch your videos i wanna travel there so bad I love watching your videos! So much insight and intresting convos. Teach me the Japanese language!!!
    2
  13010. Thank you! Very enlightening!

  13011. That little girl in Starbucks was adorable; scared at first, then hoping when she said goodbye.

  13012. Hi Anming :) Video request! If possible, would love to hear if you'd ever felt lonely living abroad after so long! When I studied abroad, there were times I just felt really alone and there was something in Asian culture where I felt like there were walls in place--would love if you can make a sit down video describing some of your ups-downs mentally/emotionally abroad to help those who want to live abroad :)
    2
  13013. I miss Asia so much! I grew up in Thailand but if I move across the pond again I want to move to Japan! The vibe 🤗🤗🤗

  13014. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  13015. Only thing I know sugoi
    2
  13016. Why should you not be allowed to show your conversations to natives as a non native, it is always inspiring and amazing really. Why? When there are tons of channels just showing furry cute animals or what someone is having for breakfast. Like you said, if you don't want to watch it, click on something else, and why would you even throw down hate comments if you already knew you wouldn't like it before even clicking on it? The world is too diverse to like everything everybody does, even when tons of others do like it, but anyone is free to view any content that they like. I know I do....

  13017. One time I saw on TV that in the year 1997 there was polyglot, Ziad Fazah, who claimed that he could speak fluently and write in 59 languages and therefore was on the Record Guinness for it, so when he came to my country (Chile) they put him to the test on a local TV program. The production gathered some people who spoke one of the 59 languages, mostly native speakers. In the end the whole thing ended up with this man making a complete fool of himself and being called a fraud on live TV. So I think this thing happening on Youtube with this polyglots its kind of like the same thing.
    2
  13018. I like how she looks like Annie leonhart (from attack on Titan) In my opinion
    2
  13019. I speak Spanish from high school classes and around town but this video made me realize that I should give a language the time and respect it deserves if I want to claim any fluency. Just decided to add a Spanish minor to my university courses! Thank you as always for a rich video and for encouraging me to pursue what I love in depth!!
    2
  13020. Years ago my littel cousin , about 5-6 years old at the time (my family is from Thailand and of mixed Thai&South Chinese ethnicity) reacted with crying ,seeing my best friend for the first time and then ran to hide behind her mom... ^^' (my bf is german and has bright and big blue eyes + blonde hair, my cousin never saw someone like that before) She was always only used to people in Thailand who look either more east ,southeast or south asian, depends on the region really in thailand ,the north looks more chinese the south looks more south asian ,as several thais ppl in the south are mixed with south asian (either thai-indian or thai-pakistani mostly) the ppl in the north are much more mixed with chinese (same with bangkoks thai people) etc etc (or southeast asia ingeneral, as all of southeast asia is very asian mixed unlike east asia)

  13021. Hindi is a very funny language. But never try to learn it.
    2
  13022.  @OrientalPearl  你的汉语水平以达到7级👍
    2
  13023. I agree! I saw a lot of polyglot youtube films and they seem to speak so many languages but it's all so basic, and even then their pronunciation or grammar is not really good. The people who are real polyglots don't waste their time doing youtube stuff every day, they're too busy. Me as well I have been thinking about doing youtube because Arabs told me my Arabic is so perfect (which it's not, it's not bad but not THAT good), just to encourage other Arabic learners to not give up, it's possible to gain a reasonable level of knowledge...but then I do not feel like putting all that effort in thinking about a 'plot', filming, downloading, editing and putting it on youtube. I have more important things to do. I really like your youtube films, they're very natural, and you show the real Japanese/Chinese people, and the real polyglots like in this film. It's not one big promotion for yourself and boasting around that you are a true polyglot. Keep on doing your work, we're enjoying it a lot. Even my children have been watching your youtube films together with me and my 12 year old has become very interested in Chinese, she wants to become as fluent in Chinese as you
    2
  13024. I just enjoy watching this kind of videos when I have some free time and I admire you for not being shy ! I can't even speak to people in my own language (French) because I'm afraid of other people's opinion even though I know I should not worry about this.Anyway keep it up !
    2
  13025. Love the interaction with your roommates. The dumpling looks delicious 🤤
    2
  13026. The pillow conversation 🤣🤣🤣, omg this is sooooo funny lolol , just like everyone’s reaction

  13027. Seeing Them Play Tops Made me Miss The Old Days When You Can Still Play Tops With Friend

  13028. Nice vid. Made my day.
    2
  13029. How did u learn Chinese? And how long did it take to get to where u are?
    2
  13030. your videos are super dope!
    2
  13031. It’s the best of both worlds! (Insert Hannah Montana reference here)
    2
  13032. I seriously admire how you speak 3 languages so well your really amazing your video literally make me want to get up and start learning something new good luck to you
    2
  13033. Really interesting to see a bit of 'real' life in Japan during these times. Thanks for the upload, stay safe.
    2
  13034. Lol. I just have to laugh because this made me so happy at the amazing mix of cultures this video have. An American girl who studied in China now living and studying in Japan having a good time and posting videos in YouTube that have reggaetón music as background music for transitions. Amazingly cool! Keep up the good work!
    2
  13035. Another great video, thanks!
    2
  13036. Thanks Oriental Pearl! I've lived in/visited Japan off and on throughout my adult life and have seen this. There's a lot of things that go on in Japan that are hidden..... Maybe one day you could do a video on the still existent caste system, (supposedly made illegal in the 1800s) that still prevails in the hearts of many people..... and how they view, (and treat) the Buraku.....
    2
  13037. Lived there for 22 years and mostly friendly. But I will say one thing. They are more friendly to women with blonde hair and blue eyes. Men with Blonde hair and blue eyes also get a lot of friendliness. Women get treated with friendliness in general. So just be aware that you are getting treated well because of the way you look. But in general people are friendly even in Tokyo. The only place I got the cold shoulder was in Ginza... everyone was too busy to stop and talk.
    2
  13038. So glad you're uploading daily! Always look forward to these videos!!
    2
  13039. I enjoyed watching your fluent language abilities in Chinese and Japanese. I was stationed in Japan as a U.S. Air Force servicemember at Misawa Air Base, Japan. I really missed the Japanese culture and the food! Wishing you all the very best!
    2
  13040.  @OrientalPearl  Definitely a lot of work. Just getting content, editing and translating isn't easy. But you're such a refreshing personality and a joy to watch! I hope you continue to do these videos and can have them pay off for you monetarily, you deserve it.
    2
  13041. I just stumbled upon this video and I LOVE IT! I subscribed and will have to watch all of her videos!
    2
  13042. The images from the countryside were indeed very interesting, those places seem to be so relaxing! It reminded me of the time when I used to visit my grandpa in the interior, I would sit on the sidewalk on sunny days and simply watch the streets.
    2
  13043. Excelente señorita, "Toda oportunidad de aprender es un paso más hacia la superación y sí es impulsada por una necesidad o deseo aun más" XD.

  13045. Love the “bento boxes”

  13046. Seen all videos, look forward to more. They are so wonderful. There’s one thing I haven’t seen you do lol and that’s film yourself cooking Tommy a full fledged Japanese dinner. That would be fantastic. Thanks again and oh I can’t send any money for Drew but will go sub to his channel. Love all of you. Becky from USA.

  13047. I am a New Yorker who has lived in Detroit, Flushing and visited China, Hong Kong and Taiwan and married to a nice Chinese lady. But still a beginner in 中文 :( Retirement is coming up in a few years; plan to travel and work more on languages then. What language will Pearl learn next? Great videos!
    2
  13048. Another great video! Keep it up! The pink cat character was funny too! 😂 Obviously needed to uplift people during a difficult period globally 😊❤️😊

  13050. Super video O.Pearl . Thanks for sharing! Topic was very interesting, and joyful-made by you(as always you are bubbling with enthusiasm and funniness) :-) :-) ..Nevertheless, feel its a nice gesture by a hosting country to say that a visitor speaks good(as an impulsive feedback) :) ..It might be felt as a welcoming statement, possible IceBreaker, encouragement(as pointed out somewhere in video)... ,,,,Love your videos OP, and also the Japanese people and the culture(the small bits I know of). ---Have a nice upcoming week for you and your friends and surroundings ---br,from norway.

  13051. The French youtuber Japania, a guy, has no problem to stop japanese girls to interview them on the streets, they're like attracted by the foreign features. It shows how japanese people are quite friendly

  13059. I'm Brazilian and can assure you that I don't know all the words and expressions from my Own language,let Alone from foreign languages. People say portuguese and spanish is almost the same,theyre right ! We can understand a lot of spanish ,but not the fullness. I don't believe in poliglot unless at all ,unless they' ve llearned the language right from the sources( fonte ) from natives . That's It.

  13065. His rap is terrible, but he seems like a good guy. He offered to pay and is very respectful to other people. His chat needs some moderators though.
    2
  13066. Great video! This was a lot of fun! I love your content! 👍❤️
    2
  13067. I like really like that you see HIM , despite how his body looks! I think he is a cool friend to have! But as a biker myself & weight more than him I gotta say : I like him already! That was a fun episode! I wish I could deal with nasty &unfriendly folks like he does!

  13071. Welcome Home An Ming :)

  13072. I would love to see a collab with Xiaomanyc, Blondie in China, Laoshu505000, and you. Racism would be wiped out.
    2
  13073. The greatest thing about your video's is the natural interaction you have with people. Because you can communicate in their language, the interaction changes, and ceases to be purely transactional, and becomes more social. I went to visit friends in Taiwan, and tried to learn enough Mandarin to be polite, but failed as didn't connect with language. However, while traveling in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, I learned just enough to be polite, and found that just that slight usage changed the nature of the interaction. I had a different reaction when I tried to learn Japanese. Maybe because I was more interested in Japan's history and culture, the language seemed easier to relate to. My first trip to Japan I was able understand the odd word or phrase and could respond in kind but basically operated in English. I got a tutor and put more effort into learning Japanese. My second trip I was able to hold very basic conversations but my relation to the Japanese people and cultural practices changed. Operating chiisai in Nihongo made my experiences richer and more personal. My ability to speak and understand is still sukoshi. Your video's help inspire me to ignore the roller coaster lows of language learning. With the world hopefully reopening, I will soon be able to reconnect in person with my sensei, as I need the human interaction, or I become a parrot. Thanks for the inspiration.

  13074. Mamacharin's. Comfortable ride. But damn are they heavy.

    2
  13078. Wholesome 👍
    2
  13079. Well considering a large % of the American population has not travelled out of the Country, u wonder where all these ignorance is coming from. Not to mention the propaganda from the media.
    2
  13080. The Japanese folks seem to be nice people, also probably stating the obvious at this point that anming is cute as hell ✌️👍👍
    2
  13081. as a german i love to com in contact with random people from everywhere on the internet using the english language but i really want to lern japanese too i just find excuses why not to stard lol i know its ad but offten being an introvert and being afraid to make a fool out off my self in germany i really prefer chating over eye to eye talk but thats also because i made bad experiences with other germans everyone seams to have a set point of view and especially with covid going on and the political situation you knever know who are you really talking to so it could be that you think you make a friend but then as it is alsways politics come up and u realize u invested time and trustet someone who has been radicalized in one or an other direction but with foreginers politics arent that much off an issue so i feel at ease chatting with them and i only made one bad experience out off over 50 so fahr maybe japanese people feel the same the lightness of talking to a person from a diffrent backround not feeling that pressured to watch every word i mean especialy in japan with the age herachie that must be refreshing to not be that hyper aware off it in every sentence
    2
  13082. 5:22 This is what it's all about; this is why I'm learning Japanese.
    2
  13083. I'm new to your channel, but your social skills aren't just impressive, but very enjoyable. I find it impressive because I'm not that social.
    2
  13084. This looks like so much fun. Do you find nightlife and young people more outgoing than in China?
    2
  13085. WoW, stunning !
    2
  13086. I love all of your videos. I’m deaf and I rely on closed captioning on your videos. You are awesome!
    2
  13087. 1:26 man, have some self-compassion! you're beating yourself up
    2
  13088. This is so wholesome, Well done to you guys, this has made my day!

  13089. Very talented girl! Impressed!

  13090. Love ur videos gorgeous shout outs from Albuquerque NM

  13091. Well, you can speak Japanese fluently. 🔥

  13092. "your tummy is different than mine" lmao
    2
  13093. You have good parents.
    2
  13094. I am so happy there are people like yourself who can warned people like us to be aware of these fake polyglots. You are doing a good public service which is appreciated by me and others. Keep up the good work and I truly enjoy watching your videos. I am learning something new today. Wishing you all the very best!
    2
  13095. In my country ( Latvia) , people like that you even try to speak Latvian just like in Japan . Probably because both Japanese and Latvian are hard languages so it means there was effort involved .
    2
  13096. Pranks are a great way to network! You'll meet more new friends this way Ann!
    2
  13097. In western countries, the U.S. especially, due to diversity from decades of immigration, it is almost assumed that even if you don't look like a Caucasian, you will be able to speak some English. Doesn't have to a fluent form but enough for communication. That usually is enough for Americans, to not react or be surprised by the English speaking ability by foreigners. That said, I only speak English but have had someone "white" react with "Where did you learn to speak English?" after having a f*ing conversation with them for several minutes. It's usually followed by "Where are you from?" These are people who see my face, only my face and during the conversation, their mind is focused on "I wonder if he is Japanese or Korean?"
    2
  13098. Awesome. This video was so much fun!
    2
  13099. Awww the lady that offered to give you free dumplings is so sweet.

  13100. I love ur videos , however I’d like to show friend , they only speak Spanish 😢 , will be great to show them with subtitles in Spanish 😊😊

  13101. Maybe. Only thing i learned from YouTube was ecchi shiyou

  13102. Oriental Pearl has the voice of a dubbing actress pd: Happy halloween chala hed chala kame hame haaaaa! pdx2: min 04:25 I,m staaaaaarving! Ooonnnee puuuuunnccccchhhhh! Fuuaaaaaa!

  13103. I also just got married last January with a lovely German guy, even so I am still touched by happiness every time I see somebody’s wedding . Congratulation for both of you!
    2
  13104. The portion size in Japan is very normal--and it used to be in America as well. When McDonalds first appeared, a normal meal was a hamburger, small fries, and a small coke. What the hell happened to us?
    2
  13105. I have learned Russian and Turkish from watching movies and tv shows for a year in each. I don't need to leave my house for covid! However I do know English Chinese and French.
    2
  13106. If you go so far and closed , if unexpected things happen in my trip, I will take photo every edge of the castle and make sure I'm been there...lol
    2
  13107. Thank you for the advices you give I'm really glad and I really enjoy your videos 💙 and it's quit strqge when someone come to you and start talking and there are people who are shy and may get confused just like me 😅 I definitely hate that and want to be more friendly and confident 😄 your subscriber from Algeria with much love 💕
    2
  13108. Okay, but thats a sick naginata, spear and armor display 👍
    2
  13109. I love the way non-ethnic Japanese like John cover their mouth when they smile. It's so Japanese.

  13110. 今回も興味深い題材です素晴らしい。お世辞なしです。

  13111. Here in New Zealand we sort of get used to Earthquakes too. Thanks again for the video!

  13112. Sugoi. She is honto ni kawai desu ne, isn't she. Shinjerarenai. :P
    2
  13113. Congraturation on your moving!　It's so nice apartment. I hope you two can continue to be happy.
    2
  13114. Great video, thanks for the truth
    2
  13115. That didnt look fun. You are very patient.
    2
  13116. Honestly, I liked you from Kelly's content and just subbed because of that. I do like Vlogs more but I do enjoy your language content as well, you are much more outgoing than me hahaha
    2
  13117. I’ve been binge watching your videos for awhile now and i love how you sound when you speak and how easily you can keep a conversation going ❤️. Im learning chinese right now and i’m having a hard time, do you have any tips on how i can learn more effectively?🥺
    2
  13118. Wow. You're awesome. My primary language is Spanish and wanted to learn a third language but gave up too soon!
    2
  13119. its not that hard to notice half of these language videos people literally say three sentences about their name and the language theyre speaking, which you can do after 3 days of study
    2
  13120. Tell your friends with the short shorts to ride with me 🤣
    2
  13121. That was so wholesome. I love to see the dynamic between you all❤
    2
  13122. Agora eu sei de onde veio o desenho bayblade
    2
  13123. Omg chinese and Japanese and now Korean. That's so admirable
    2
  13124. My estimation of you rose considerably, and I had already thought you were pretty sharp.
    2
  13125. This is pretty standard! I am white British but speak Cantonese, (lived in Hong Kong for many years plus my wife is HK Chinese and my kids are mixed race, so speak Cantonese at home), i am so used to people being shocked and asking me about why i speak the lingo, or completely ignore me and try to speak back in English. You just get used to it.

  13132. A good person is likeable. Some people are only 'fluent' in one language and mediocre at best in a second language (can speak 'decently' but can't write and read at a high level) yet those people already think they're intelligent. I'm bilingual (should be trilingual over time) but I still feel 'ashamed' that I can't use more languages because all my other family members can use more languages (at a high level) than I do. As some of you can guess, English is my third language.

  13133. If watching polyglots isn't entertaining for you, so be it. But learning new things and learning about other cultures is always encouraging.
    2
  13134. This was so interesting and so much fun to watch! Well done! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  13135. Loved it, I really like how everything can be so natural even between two cultures! I'm 36 and still get my lucky pocket every lunar new year 🤣!

  13136. What? She totally looks Japanese! It amazes me how some people can't look past the curly hair and dark skin.

  13137. Was One Punch Man Tommy’s neighbor when he lived at his old place? Because it looks about the same size and similar layout. Lol

  13142. SandoMetal walks by Oriental Pearl: "Hi." (OP sexy voice) This is officially, now, your trademark.
    2
  13143. Solid advice @Oriental Pearl さん. Now I just need to find a cure for procrastination. I’ll get started on that tomorrow.
    2
  13144. Happy Birthday, Anming! New tradition is to pluck the candle from the cake before blowing it out so we don't blast germs onto a cake that's about to be shared with others. My how times have changed! 🤯
    2
  13145. Keep doing your fun videos. Also from Detroit suburbs.
    2
  13146. because I believe there's few blonde girls in both China and Japan you are a bit of a novelty and people will look but really look when you start speaking their native language fluently! I think it's because you're so pretty :)
    2
  13147. As a legitimate polyglot myself, the best thing to do is learn a language family because the grammar structures and vocab will be very similar. Personally, it was easy for me to learn all of the Romance languages except Romanian because I was raised in an English and Spanish household and then took Latin for all of high school. Since that time I took Arabic intensively and reached a very high intermediate level but have lost it since due to non use. The same goes for my Russian. However, in comparison I could come back to say Italian or Portuguese and it would take me a few days of speaking it to get back to my high level because it’s in the same family as one of my native tongues. The fact that language is very much a use it or lose it skill, it’s best to master a few really well than a lot. Otherwise, your whole daily routine will be focused on maintaining your languages.
    2
  13148. man i think you're really good at learning languages
    2
  13149. Perhaps you should interview a Rikishi sumo wrestler, and hear from the perspective of a Japanese person what's like to we overweight in Japan
    2
  13150. It should be common sense that not speaking Japanese in Japan will make things a little difficult lol.
    2
  13151. You always dress so cute!
    2
  13152. Love your content so much ❤
    2
  13153. Nice, I look forward to seeing them when released.
    2
  13154. Wow...can't wait to see the video and your interaction with the local Koreans. Your content are addictive...😄😁
    2
  13155. @Oriental Pearl thank you for this awesome video. Your channel is growing because you're smart, intelligent and fun to watch. These scammers are jealousy of you. Keep the good work. Stay safe.
    2
  13156. Your such a wonderful conversationalist in all languages. I really enjoyed this video💗
    2
  13157. I like videos that tell the truth. Thank You.....

  13158. I’ll admit, I love these videos for Tommy’s sweet ass 😮😂🎉

  13159. Nice video. Thanks, i subscribed to Nomad.
    2
  13160. Congratulations on 1 year! Truly enjoy watching your videos. Please keep up posting, it's so neat to see what daily life is like in Japan/China for those of us who have never been able to visit. Really enjoy your conversations with the locals especially when you transition from Japanese to Chinese back and forth. You really have a gift and talent for languages!

  13161. Sometimes when I go to the countryside in Japan, I see white men in suits riding bicycles, but they are Mormon recruiters. Lately we've had some refugee families from the Ukraine come to the countryside, apparently over 1,000 of them. When I go to Tokyo, there are white and black cab drivers. To become a cab driver in Tokyo, you have to pass a national exam, so foreign cab drivers have to study a lot to become a cab driver.

  13162. Useless fact: Hershey produces KitKat in the US and Nestlé for the rest of the world. That's why I suspect the US only has the boring, original flavor.

  13164. Lovely dress Anming! No comment on polyglot controversies for me. :).
    2
  13165. Hi! I’m from Brazil. I watch your videos because I want to practice my English and because I want to know more about Japanese culture and maybe learn Japanese in the future!
    2
  13166. I''m afraid you'll be disappointed by the book (but who knows). Interesting channel, thanks.
    2
  13167. Great video! Keep it up if you can! we love your content!
    2
  13168. Its refreshing to see 2 beautiful and smart women having a opened mind! Too many people nowadays think you have to pick a side with every topic, which is frustrating as though they're only using half their brain! Much respect to you 2 wonderful ladies and hope to see more of your contents!
    2
  13169. Your videos are always so interesting!

  13170. Congratulations!

  13171. When I was in Aomori, I went to a hot bath, there were cold showers surrounding the bath... very low on the wall. One was to sit on a small plastic seat while using it. I went from the bath to the shower many times.. the hot then cold was very relaxing. The snow was very deep in Aomori when I was there... Fun times. Safe travels guys, thanks for sharing!
    2
  13172. Well done Pearl ; never give up
    2
  13173. Dude, what is that green drink? I agree the motivation has to be there and I signed up for the 101PODS, I have College textbooks and attended in-person learning as well. I have to agree to look for people who speak Japanese is not easy in the states there are only a few hotspots but if HelloTalk helps I will signup for that.
    2
  13174. I shall do that
    2
  13175. Thanks for the info and the tips.
    2
  13176. Cool videos as always, I guess your focus is on language? And I respect that. But if you're chasing views food, anime, cars, girls, tourism is the way to go. And China. They have wayyy more people.
    2
  13177. I tried every language learning software imaginable and I have to say Pimsleur was by far the most effective, Granted it's not great for learning to read and write but for just learning basic conversation it's the best by far!
    2
  13178. Finnish is mostly unrelated to geographically nearby languages like Norwegian, Swedish and Danish (or even to the Germanic and Romance language families). I think there are some related languages further East in Europe. Young Children don't just learn their first language(s); they sort of reinvent them and this process drives the evolution of grammar in a language. When you learn languages subsequently you just learn the existing grammar and vocabulary but you no longer have the ability to make a deep connection to how the grammar ought to be. So the difficulty of learning a language for non-toddlers relates to how similar or different they are from languages they already know.
    2
  13179. I love the mix, and this video interested me because of the interesting people specifically.
    2
  13180. Added. All your videos are great, and we appreciate your hard work on all of them. I don't know of any, but if there are any naysayers, don't let them get you down. I had a friend from PA who used to tell me, Jack, "They're not your source." So I always took his words to heart.
    2
  13181. Keep it up. I support you
    2
  13182. Congratulations you two!!! You look so cute together. This will be such an interesting story to tell your kids about one day. Maybe I'll try out a language exchange app too 😆
    2
  13183. Man. This really makes me realize, if I wanna get better at Japanese, I gotta start getting into a schedule of some type of study system... AAAAAA SO HARD!
    2
  13184. The cave is pretty scary oh and I want to tell you a joke today I was practicing korean language and the words I was practicing was hello, good bye,I am sorry ☺️ and I did get them right as I talk in english I forgot every thing😂🤣😂 I did practice it is hard 😩but I am going to keep up ok you show me today any thing is possible 🙂☺️☺️
    2
  13185. Haha how come you speak the language? Uh I’m like. From here?
    2
  13186. I can relate a bit. My brother taught English in Japan and married a Japanese girl. Had triplets over there! My mom and an aunt flew over to help out, as well as her mom and family of course. Huge culture shock! My bro and family moved to Canada a few years later and the Japanese side came to visit rural Ontario. Huge culture shock!
    2
  13187. おめでとうございます！ You two are so cute! Thanks for sharing this personal stuff with us!
    2
  13188. That is nepals national hat
    2
  13189. How you learn Japanese language please tell me about that.😊
    2
  13190. You see?! This is a perfect way to start conversation in a polite and less intrusive/ egotistic way! This video is absolutely great and it follows someone who is actually more interested in connection. the very first part of the video in the garden, was a great example as to how simply by sincerely looking to help someone, you could inadvertently start up a conversation just because you happen to know the same language which you might be practicing. I think the message of the video is just to keep your mind open.being sincere with yourself, put you into places and paths in life, where you will meet people who will be open to your existence as well. Thank you for the video. Wish you well.
    2
  13191. I spent 10 years of my life learning English. I'll never be able to speak perfectly. Those guys did it it 7 days Or less😆 my a**
    2
  13192. Miss Pearl, it would be wonderful if you could create a video showcasing where and how you study, your learning journey, something about yourself and your life. As you're aware, your uniqueness sets you apart—while there might be others out there, sharing this on YouTube would be incredibly enjoyable and cool for viewers. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch!
    2
  13193. You know everyone always going to have something to say so why worry about stuff we can't control

  13194. japan is so nice hope to visit japan after this pandemic 😍😍😍😍

  13197. Great to see your channel grow! 😊

  13198. I love watching your videos because ironically I'm too lazy to learn another language.

  13199. 中文是好熟悉的台灣口音😅

  13200. You are such a happy positive woman. It's always fun to watch your channel. nice that there are such people. I stay loyal to your channel because I can also learn a lot. Greetings to my Pearl.

  13201. I went to language school for 1 year in japan, i loved it! So much fun! Most teachers were great and so fun, only one was scary xD We went to karaoke with our main teacher with the whole class. I miss the people at the school. I was in osaka :)
    2
  13202. You use to be so close to me. Lol I went to other states and people told me I have an accent.
    2
  13203. Calm down with all that Flour based food Pearl otherwise you will end up piling on the pounds although the amount of walking you do I doubt that will happen. By the way your monologues are fine you are very engaging and personable even alone in a room talking to a camera, the problem is us, we want to be entertained and constantly see interaction which is pathetic, but it;s 2020 n all that and our brains are some what screwed by fast movies and the internet, I'm middle aged but the youngsters of today maybe even you (doubt it) have a low concentration barrier, my children cannot sit and watch anything on tv even films from the 90's to 2000 because films back then moved a bit slower gave you enough time to breathe and think they want tons of action or 10 laughs a minute.
    2
  13204. Lots of people love to ‘problematize’ literally everything that they don’t or can’t do. Unsurprisingly, they never do that to their own bland lives. Keep learning whatever you want, and doing whatever you want. Screw these people. They only know how to criticize. It’s their only value, and it’s not with much.
    2
  13205. Why KOREAN uniform lol

  13206. I like Tommy videos!

  13212. I also want to learn japanese
    2
  13213. I'm learning Japanese and I still find it funny that a lot of words you can just swap out for what is basically english like "classmate" 4:22
    2
  13214. Not gonna lie.. hiphop in kimono is like pineapple on pizza.. not for me. 🙈 Looks like they’re having fun tho🤙🏼 I just know how uncomfortable kimono and those getas are.
    2
  13215. The adults were fascinated by R2 as the kids were..cool! Although I think the kids were freaked out when R2 was temporarily decapitated at McDonald's lol

  13216. Every Video got a big Smile on my Face :) You make it so great, and so openend to show us all the Sides. :)

  13217. The place is Melacca in Malaysia. Its a beautiful place. I have been there
    2
  13218. I suspect people are lonely in Japan and the rest of southeast Asia because they don't shake hands with acquaintances or hug or kiss friends. The bowing thing looks polite, but at the same time, it's very distant. Humans need human contact for mental health, and southeast Asians don't get enough of it because of the culture.

  13219. Too bad that I can't subscribe twice ;)

  13220. Congratulations!

  13223. I’m really interested about going to Japan, Im hoping I can learn Japanese and not just being a simple tourist. I want to enjoy the country side and the beautiful mountains ⛰. I want to try eat different food and meet with new people Thank you for sharing this, Some people said that Japan is really strict. Watching your videos is really helpful. Keep your content !!
    2
  13224. It always makes me sad to hear that in 20 or so years towns like this will be pretty much "dead". I know there's a lot of depopulated areas but sadly its only going to get worse.
    2
  13225. How do you finance your studies all these years? 100% from your teaching jobs?
    2
  13226. You have a really authentic personality Anming! take care (:

    2
  13234. Man, those guys have a TOUGH job. That has got to be exhausting running with all that weight and being socially adept. They definitely deserve some praise!

  13235. The amount of times Tommy said "oooh"😂Love your channel soo much!

  13236. Perfect costume idea.

  13254. This was one of my favorite videos from you. The humor!!💖😂💖

  13255. 😂Love you😍

  13256. I still want to nominate you as our cultural ambassador. You do look Russian. I'd love to see your 23 and me.

  13257. Hi!! Hope you have a successful 2021!! Saludos desde Asunción-Paraguay!!
    2
  13258. Most of polyglots I've seen are mostly into European languages so it's relatively easy to master them as long as they belong to the same family (Portuguese, Spanish, French for example) and in the other hand it's extremely rare to see a polyglot to speak perfectly Chinese, Russian, Japanese, French and German for example (unless they have a German father, a Chinese mon, have studied in Japan, with a boyfriend or girlfriend from Russia and living in France lol)
    2
  13259. Language is a tool at the end of the day and people forget that. Not something to impress people with.
    2
  13260. I love hearing foreign languages! I am trying so hard to learn the South Korean language but have learned Spanish through classes. Caught some girls who came into my clothing store talking Spanish and trashing us. Not nice but when one of the girls was wondering where our bathroom was I spoke to her in Spanish and told here where to find the bathroom and thanked them so very much for shopping with us! They looked at me like, oh crap I think she heard us!! It was really funny!!
    2
  13261. You are great!
    2
  13262. wow impressive
    2
  13263. You are so pretty Ahming!!

  13264. i'm brazilian and i'm trying to learn english and japanese, my english isn't very good yet but i'm gonna keep studying.

  13265. That last village in Japan was straight out of the Ghibli films 😍😍
    2
  13266. 13:20 "what the fuck?" LOL
    2
  13267. I love your videos and you are a inspiration to me, and I can't wait to visit Japan again after the Covid19 is over.
    2
  13268. Great video OP.
    2
  13269. I absolutely love this video I love all your videos with you and your hubby tommy it’s so awesome to watch the both of you embrace each other’s cultures. I can relate to the both of you because I’m from Mexican parents born and raised in Chicago and my husband is from China and it’s definitely a culture clash but we teach each other new things everyday. I can’t wait for the next video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2
  13270. What amazes me is that she has a Northeastern Chinese accent which is the hardest way to learn Mandarin comparing to Southern or Taiwanese. And there is also a differences between being fluent and losing her American accent. Loosing your native accent is nearly impossible for adults when speaking a different language!
    2
  13271. Oh wow that dude is amazing 😮 that’s so cool you get to hang out with him 😊 and Girl!! You had me dying laughing 🤣 in the beginning when you sat at the feet part 😂 I probably would had done the same 😆
    2
  13272. That looks so amazing! I would love to take my wife and I to something just like this. On our wedding day, she got us a hotel with a two person tub inside. (She knows how much I love soaking, but we’ve never done it together until that night).
    2
  13273. imagine you know everybody on the street and you have to spend 3 mins talking to each of them.
    2
  13274. I cant wait for the next video!!!
    2
  13275. Please Make dance video, at public,

  13276. Congrats OP I didn’t even know you were going steady. All the best!!! Be good to our gal Mr. OP.

  13277. Yay, another great video. 👍👍👍 Love from Vancouver B.C
    2
  13278. I am 70 years old, so came through the greater part of my life without the option to video in the way people can do now. I completely appreciate learning about the world through the skill sets of humans with cameras and editing software. :D And I appreciate languages. I try my best to learn at least, please, thank you, good day, etc. for unfamiliar languages If I am around native speakers. And I pay attention to them as they help me learn their language, even if it only ever amounts to a few phrases. I understand that the over the top titles to YouTube videos are a way to attract viewership. For me, either I enjoy and learn from the content...and continue watching. Or I don't click with the content...and stop watching. Why in the world would I turn myself wrong side out over someone's YouTube content? Good grief! That said, I really enjoyed seeing the "shock others by speaking their language" snippets between people where English was not involved at all! You are right. Native English speakers in the USA and England can easily forget it's a big world out there. And although English tends to be the common language of commerce, etc, it is not actually the bright center of the universe! And if we don't at least expose ourselves to other languages, even through watching the videos of those who do have those multi-skills, we miss some beautiful human music. And, I really enjoyed this video - both of you! Haha - at the end, I struggled to understand the Spanish, which I am trying to learn. I still understand most of the German, although I have so little opportunity to use it anymore, and I never took French, so only know please, thank you, hello, goodbye...and "I don't speak French - sorry". :D

  13280. This is so enjoyable. ❤ Today I sent my foreign exchange student back home to Hong Kong. 😢 he was here, in Kansas for the past 9 months for grade 12 in high school. 😊😊
    2
  13281. As a Japanese speaker, I wouldn’t to learn new languages to avoid being eavesdropped by this person, I just need to speak in the tsugaru or okinawin dilect.
    2
  13282. That was so cool , bring it on 🇯🇵
    2
  13283. Omg , you have such great energy! Keep up the great content, I can’t stop watching and I should be going to sleep by now. Thank you for sharing

  13284. You have to take him to Mexican town next time he comes in and Post bar

  13285. My Dad always told me if I want to learn a language, get a girlfriend who speaks it.
    2
  13286. This is so wholesome tbh. What was the lady who switched to Japanese saying about you? Was it a compliment? She seemed really amazed.

  13294. The Fluency Illusion is real. Worked with Americans who spoke minimal Mandarin and we all swapped stories with how we impressed unsuspecting Westerners with our supposed fluent Mandarin 😂
    2
  13295. Who was the pretty girl in the mirror?
    2
  13296. Wow what an awesome video! You are an amazing person and I'm so happy I found your channel recently! Stay strong and please keep the videos coming!
    2
  13297. I'd watch you reading from a Chinese phone book!! Ha
    2
  13298. I don't know. I live in America and I talk to and have friends who are not born here. In the process of trying to get to know them, they will try to speak English and I will try to speak what I know of their language and I have been surprised and said, "Wow! Your English is really good!" But, I also meant it. When I thought the husband of my friend did not know any English and so was trying to chat with him in his language and then he felt comfortable enough and started to talk to me in English and it was really not bad, I said that. And, I was even more impressed to learn he had only been studying for four months! As we talked, I learned he was able to make so much progress because he studied in school in his country. So, I kind of understand when a Japanese person says, "You speak well." Maybe it is better than they thought since you are just a beginner. Maybe they are really pleasantly surprised and although you are not perfect, you are doing pretty good for however long you have been studying. But, of course, could be they are just being polite like the video says. Nice information. It was a fun video to watch and reflect on.

  13299. Looking for reaction will make your interaction less real. Just be yourself and we'll enjoy.

  13300. Also, the 2 Osaka guys are cute 😳
    2
  13301. lol, this video is so funny, someday i wanna go to japan and be fluent

  13302. 那些小饼在美国🇺🇸所有中餐馆都有，一般是送给外国人，里面有张小纸条和一些小号码表示祝福的意思，我们中国人吃饭就没有，只给外国人，一般中国人不要，很感谢你分享中国人在国外生活！
    2
  13303. I lived in Japan (Hamamatsu, Shizuoka) for over a year and a half. I've also been offered money to "play". I was also being followed going home. Jerks are everywhere. I was also sexually harassed when I was walking in the streets of Chicago. I love that you are making your viewers see everything. 🤍 God bless you!

  13307. I've always been told you'll know you are fluent when natives stop saying you speak really well. It's definitely true
    2
  13308. Idk why people be trying to poop on other’s success. You are amazing and I am glad — as well as hope — their insecurities never affect you ! Because you are awesome and work super hard on your own things ! So for them to be like ‘ you shouldn’t do that ‘ or anything like that — no matter who they are , they should be quiet. It’s your own life , your own choices. Love you ! You inspire me to learn more about the Asian culture and language as well as many more ! Thank you !!!! ♥️
    2
  13309. You two are so made for each other, what a nice little getaway.
    2
  13310. Arigato Gozaimasu. Thank You. I love Japan!! ❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵❤️❤️

  13311. You are sooo talented girl.
    2
  13312. ive always been plucked out as American by how i dress and walk in europe and the middle east.. asian countries must not be as use to American tourists. i can spot Americans and most Europeans quite easy in public. its different asian cultures that i cant figure out from just looking at them.
    2
  13313. WE NEED MORE TOMMY!!!!!
    2
  13314. That was lovely. He was truly excited to see everything. I went through the same thing as I wandered through Japan back in the late 1970s.
    2
  13315. Now I want to know what ‘heck’ is in Chinese lol

  13322. 明珠说的很对，会中文的学习日语会好些，很多单词是相同的。我学日语也是这样想的。
    2
  13323. this made me cry, it was so beautiful watching them speak each others language.
    2
  13324. 6 hours a day? That's a full time job.
    2
  13325. Once You know their language, You are not a Foreigner
    2
  13326. They really are surprised and happy, when you speak their language(s) to them, Miss Alyssa, Vietnamese would be a challenge. Anyway, my family and I will be traveling after three years of the pandemic, which is Osaka from coming next Monday to Friday.
    2
  13327. Always beautiful my passion american 💙 I love you ❤ God bless you 🙌

  13328. As usual, I love your work!! Keep going.
    2
  13329. ¡Surely my daughter goes crazy with a pikachu cake!
    2
  13330. I am Chinese, I have an idea. You speak English first, then Japanese, and finally Chinese. This is more shocking
    2
  13331. Good journalism
    2
  13332. Have you ever thought of speaking Japanese in Gubei, Shanghai? There is a big Japanese community there. You don’t need to do this, just a suggestion in case you are lacking in video ideas! I love your channel!
    2
  13333. Back in the 70s my parents went to japan for a few months, my dad is Israeli but his parents are Moroccan so his skin is pretty brown and he is hairy. My mom told me that all of the Japanese people around him were always so fascinated by his body hair and skin they literally treated him like a celebrity they would also touch his long hair lol
    2
  13334. Missing being home. 🇬🇺 Glad you got to visit!
    2
  13335. Thanks for the motivation, I am studing Japanese and Chinese nowadays, Spanish is not difficult at all, it is mother tongue I know what I am talking about. If You're to speak so surprisingly chinese and japanese, Spanish is a piece of cake for you. (Subjuntivo tense is tricky even for spanish speakers) greetings from Spain! I could help you with Spanish if you have any doubt . See ya!
    2
  13336. So cooool! Keep up sharing these awesome interactions!
    2
  13337. i cant even approach people in English, let alone in other languages lol but i do admire your confidence and personality :)
    2
  13338. Your videos always put me in such a positive mood! Thank you so much for that!!!!
    2
  13339. What I love about these type videos is, we are all the same. I love seeing these people light up when you speak their language. You can see the instant ease in which you put them. Well done.!!!!
    2
  13340. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face every time you post! ☺️ I’m currently learning Japanese and even though I’m no where near basic understanding, I’m hoping to study abroad in Japan for a year next year. So thank you soo much for motivating me 🥺💛
    2
  13341. 3 months in Japanese class and Im having difficulties with particles; sentence structures hard to get used to as well.
    2
  13342. think of how Yoda speaks, its basically direct translation. difficult it is not. Its just the best puzzle you will ever play, enjoy.
    2
  13343. japanese people are so nice, aren't they! ^^ <3

  13344. 可愛い‼️

  13346. In the future I will say "I was here when she had 5k+ subs" :P
    2
  13347. Yup. That is the polyglot life. I love throwing people off guard.
    2
  13348. I want to thank you for these videos. They bring joy and most of all I start to recognize words here and there. You are the best! ❤
    2
  13349. Hi Anming, Great video as always. I've been watching your channel since you had a little over 1k subscribers. And look at you now. Almost at 100k in about 8 months. When one door closes another door opens. China is closed but because of that you're in Japan. Life does not always leads us to where we want, it sometimes forces us into a different path. Sit back and take stock of where you're at now and the situations that is out of your control. The place you're at now may be the best place to be. Your videos and your journeys now is the best examples of enjoying your journey while getting to your destination. God bless. By the way. I didn't realize my kids are using my YouTube account. Don't mind the strange user name, they picked it. I'm Vietnamese by the way.
    2
  13350. Cute outfit...I like it
    2
  13351. I have lived in Japan since1989. The claim made here that the Japanese are honest and even brutal only as long as they are kids is incorrect. I speak from experience :)
    2
  13352. Your Great ! Keep the good job!!
    2
  13353. Recently got into this trend of language capability as I find it inspiring, I like how you addressed the trend (questionable ‘tubers and all), along with your clear capability and talent of what you do for your channel and the hard work to achieve where you’re at. You are really strikingly beautiful also, just keep what your doing, good luck 🤞🏻 keep it up, I’m sure you’ll achieve what you want to!
    2
  13354. I subscribed a couple of years ago and always like your videos (I never skip through them). One of my friends has lived and worked in Portugal for almost 20 years, and he said it's fun to hear the locals talking about him assuming he can't understand them (he can) 😄
    2
  13355. Oh my goodness, Tommy is such a delight
    2
  13356. Both looks like characters from anime... sweett pretty too <3
    2
  13357. So interesting and insightful!
    2
  13358. Oh I love just watching your everyday conversations. I really love watching you speak & interact. I also love how you truly speak it. I guess that's part of those languages but I've always found it interesting. Great job.
    2
  13359. "Japanese 101: Deny compliments from strangers" 👍🤣 Same goes for Russians...or, is it just me?🤔😆
    2
  13360. Detroit is famous for cars? Maybe in USA. World knows Detroit because in Detroit mr Marshal Maters was born...
    2
  13361. amazing Video, keep up the good job 😉 SUB maybe
    2
  13362. I always love your videos Anming. Take care!
    2
  13363. Hey! Just come across your channel, Tokyo looks like such a cool place to ride. Would be cool if you did some videos just cycling around!
    2
  13364. 你的中文太好了！比我的都好！
    2
  13365. Even though speaking a similar language helps, we humans, like other species, will find a way to make friends. I know some Vietnamese Chinese friends here in the US, and just have to say that Vietnamese cuisine is some of the best in the world.
    2
  13366. Always great content OP.
    2
  13367. “I’m not an American celebrity”. Lol! Doesn’t matter! My classmates and I (all young females, mostly blondes, a couple brunettes, a redhead, and a girl of Hmong descent who did not get as much attention 😅) got treated similarly all over China in 2011. I was like “we are not Taylor Swift. We are just boring college students.”
    2
  13368. Riding a bike wherever you are is always fun. It allows you to discover how is around you and giving you a new perspective of your neighborhood
    2
  13369. This was a really great video. Showing the differences between how the language is taught and how it is really used can totally change interactions. This video really drives that home. I think this is my favorite of your video's to date as it showed much casual interaction.
    2
  13370. On 0:36, one girl turns away after the rickshaw guy says "pick me". I wonder if the reason is because the girl feels kind of shy standing next to the sexiest rickshaw man 🤔
    2
  13371. You know I’m right behind.. on this journey .. 👍👍 good luck
    2
  13372. The food that your friends were making looked so good and you said they tasted good too. After this whole Corona virus things, I would love to go to Japan or China. It looked so pretty outside too when you were walking with your friend.
    2
  13373. Perhaps part of why 安明 isn't freaked out by this, besides being desensitized to it now, is that Japan is an extremely safe country, and although weirdos approaching you in Japan may be annoying, the probability that they're going to harm you is extremely low, whereas in the US, there are lots of example videos of men getting rejected and getting really threatening. I'd be interested to hear from 安明 is there's any groping stories. That seems more prevalent in Japan, the subway groper, "ooops, the train turbulence caused me to accidentally grab your ass"
    2
  13374. that was amazing i like the reactions R2 got.
    2
  13375. YOU Rock!!!

  13378. Korean too?! Slow down😂😂
    2
  13379. Love your videos, i started watching you yesterday because i’m learning japanese and your video just popped up. Your videos are amazing cause they entertain me and educate me on japanese culture. Keep it up 😁💙
    2
  13380. Your videos are really helping me get used to switching back and forth between Chinese and Japanese! ありがとうございます! 非常感谢！😊🙏
    2
  13381. I miss payphones...someone burnt down our local one here a few years back...
    2
  13382. Wow.. her Chinese is really good.. better than her Japanese (she's good in Japanese too) haha.. She's amazing.
    2
  13383. Did you ever figure out the old woman that was stalking you?? Multiple times 😂

  13387. Thanks! Always very interesting. Sad that they aren’t accepted more.
    2
  13388. Yeah we got snow/sleet here today as well.
    2
  13389. Super insightful video on this topic, great content !
    2
  13390. Pretty awesome how many languages you can speak. I had a hard time with it in school. I took a test, for a job application, to determine my ability to learn a new language. Failed miserably and they rejected me. My grandmother spoke German. I can speak it a tiny bit. I couldn’t have a conversation with anyone, but I feel I could get by as a German speaking tourist if I went there. I have a hard time remembering things.
    2
  13391. Well done on reaching 1M. Love your work!!
    2
  13392. Haha cool. Been a while catching up with your travel blog. I keep remembering you as the girl that speaks chinese/japanese, not the girl that regularly travels.😂🤣I do hope 4 the rest of the world 2 open up travelling b4 xmas or by 2021.😄😆
    2
  13393. Love this channel ❤❤

  13394. lol "staring people dowwwwwnnnn"

  13395. Happy Hearts Day 💖

  13396. Hi Anming. I just wanted to thank you for your content. It has always been a dream of mine to learn Mandarin Chinese, and your videos have been a huge inspiration. I have been using Pimsleur to learn, and it has been so helpful. Within a few weeks, I was able to initiate small talks with Chinese people. They got so excited when they heard me speak Mandarin and would sometimes even treat me to their meals for that. Even many of my groupmates from China said I sounded like a native from Beijing (I am currently a student in London). I hope you'll see this comment. You are an amazing and kind person, and watching your videos brings me so much joy and motivation to further pursue my dream. Thank you!

  13397. The hat is from Nepal called "Dhaka Topi" National hat of Nepal

  13398. I can speak three languages and if I can speak all three at same time and still people didn't react because they also know three languages....lol
    2
  13399. I don't travel very much, but I am going to try and learn another language.

  13400. I am jealous of her free spirit..😔

  13401.  @OrientalPearl  TOYKO to HK $84 usd. hahaha
    2
  13402. Love the beautiful ending of this video! It's touching, the music is perfect, the Michigan video is cinematic (and wistful), and holding the blossoms looks pretty while hinting/hoping that springtime will lead to better things. Casual viewers might not appreciate the subject matter (much like when a comedian says, "If I could just get serious for a moment..." [cringe]), but I've grown fond of you and your videos. Be safe, stay positive (it could be worse), and keep up the good work. (P.S. Lockdown is a YouTuber's best friend right now.)
    2
  13403. :) You are a kid 2 :)
    2
  13404. I just love you! You have the most interesting life.
    2
  13405. It is just unbelievable, besides speaking Japanese language, you two folks behave the Japanese in manners during conference call too. Incredible!
    2
  13406. Your videos are popular because you sound like you are enjoying yourself, and having fun.
    2
  13407. As mentioned in a previous comment I found your channel and I’m watching all your content. I’ve just reached this video and I can see the love that went into it and your heart. I had tears in my eyes. I know this is a few months old now however I do hope you’re doing ok and thank you for your authenticity. ❤️ love from Ireland x
    2
  13408. Youtube and coffee should both be dark. Fun video and important for people who have insecurities about travelling. :))
    2
  13409. There's always going to be haters on every channel, but don't let it deter you! A lot of us love your videos and are there to support you!
    2
  13410. she almost had enough to make a candle. or 2.
    2
  13411. I all ways enjoy your videos, i work for a Japanese company and learned how to speak from different age groups in the company so just when you think you got it Someone corrects you ,but that's how you learn, keep making videos
    2
  13412. Alyssa, this was one of your best videos that I've seen. You're an inspiring young woman. I guess people say that natives appreciate the effort no matter what level you are at with learning their language.
    2
  13413. Awesome guy, I feel Japan sees this as a novelty obviously but would be more open to directly talking to him or having their uncomfortable laughs and just get it out of their system, I truly believe he would have a harder time being overweight in Korea as Koreans focus very very much on outward appearance. Being good looking is part of the Korean culture now (thanks to surgery/Kpop/Tv drama)wether they like it or not, it’s unfortunate but many of the youth there feel the pressure and have adapted (many don’t still) so I feel he would definitely feel and see the difference in the way the people in both countries would treat him BUT this guy knows himself and is comfortable with himself so it doesn’t even matter to him 👏awesome, this was just my observation :p
    2
  13414. Aaliyah and Katie are so lovely. All my best to you and all your guests.
    2
  13415. I can listen to you speak all day
    2
  13416. Great video ;) what's the background music in the end ?
    2
  13417. How to break the ice.....talk the language......
    2
  13418. Wow I'm jealous in a nice way haha. Gives me goosebumps when you can transition between English, mandarin, and Japanese. I wish I could speak like you my favorite place to visit is Japan.
    2
  13419. I hear you. You deserve the 1 million mark. And you learned a lot about people along the way. Most people never do.
    2
  13420. Wow that noodle slide was cool 😂 I wish we had that here in Hofu 😆 that’s really good to eat during summer cause it’s cold base noodles 😊 I believe the noodles are home made too. Yeah it’s sad 😔 that people didn’t take it seriously and I just wish they did. So many lives are gone that day. It really breaks my heart 😭
    2
  13421. 2:34 STOP!!!! I'm an American and I think you're drop-dead gorgeous!
    2
  13422. When she speaks Japanese and chineSe (I speak Chinese so I can tell) she definitely is the mannerisms and knows about the culture and intonation. For me that’s the best way to tell someone is fluent
    2
  13423. this vid really inspired me rn I'm studying japanese, korean, chinese ,russian,spanish y'know it's just a habit but i really want to learn it all edited: btw I'm a fil but I'm not fluent on my own language and secondary language lol , I'm thinking of givin' up but after i see this vid i got my hopes back
    2
  13424. I really enjoy your exuberance and sense of joy you have talking to as many people as possible. I commend you on moving to other countries to further you education. You being cute and funny also makes your vlogs enjoyable. Thanks for posting. Take care.
    2
  13425. This remind me a japanese friend in my Classroom (in Shanghai aswell) when we were learning chinese. It was difficult for her to pronounce "Ban" and she was saying "Bang" all the time ^^
    2
  13426. I dropped a like
    2
  13427. Hi!! Love the international family vids keep it up!
    2
  13428. Oh wow! Your lips 👄 I love that color
    2
  13429. I loved this video! Thank you for sharing!!! He’s soooo talented! Wow!!
    2
  13430. I absolutely love the background music on this video. You used one similar on a previous video (a walking tour-like video) Can you provide links???
    2
  13431. I'm with you on the arrogance of some of these language YouTubers. This is why you are so refreshing! I just started watching your videos and I love your authenticity. You're amazing!
    2
  13432. Your videos are the best!! Arigato 😊
    2
  13433. This is too cool for words! But wow, those hateful comments you showed in the video... Those sad people who are stuck in their boxes and programmed orthodoxy are so afraid of free spirits who don't stay in a box and just follow their dreams.
    2
  13434. 2 dislikes. One from Chris.
    2
  13435. It's always a fun morning in California when I wake up to one of your videos. Breakfast and watching an Anming video. Pretty good start to the day, I'd say.
    2
  13436. I observed this honesty and helpfulness in Hiroshima, also my peak Japanese speaking moment! In the tourist office at the train station I saw a cellphone left on a table, so I approached the staff and said: "Ohayui gozai masu. Sumimasen, are wa denwa desu" and pointed. (Good morning. Sorry, there is a phone.) The staff member spent five minutes running around the bus station trying to find the owner and found her on the JR Tourist Bus. (Coincidentially, sitting across the aisle from me - nice to see it returned.) My Japanese is heavily accented, so I think the pointing probably worked more than the words, but I'll take that as a win. I did find speaking the limited Japanese I had very helpful, the store staff appreciated me using it and being able to say "An-na wa go-sai desu" (Anna is 5 years old) meant we got her on the trains and into some attractions for free. Also saying saying "Watachi-tachi wa nuu jeeland-jin desu" was helpful, I think Japanese give New Zealanders a little more slack with the language barrier.
    2
  13437. so good that you shine light onto this and allow them a voice... I sometimes do wonder, what would happen if those who are pushed outside of society would try to build something together

  13439. My Japanese gf’s mom was kind of shocked that I insisted they sit together on trains and busses when we first met. It was definitely a little awkward at first but I could tell her mom really appreciated the gesture. Those cultural differences one has to deal with and find a polite way to overcome.

  13484. I went to Japan with my dad back in 2012. Now that I think about it, I didn't see too many kids that often, but it was late September-Early October when we were there, so it was likely that they were in school most of the time. The few times I do remember noticing any kids was once on a train where I assumed they'd only been pointing at me because I was wearing a Sonic the Hedgehog shirt at the time, a few times by a few groups of elementary school students who had an assignment they needed us to answer questions for while we were in Hiroshima and once time I had a VERY brief conversation with a little girl at Tokyo Disneyland during one of the parades. That last one's kinda embarrassing for me, actually. Despite my best efforts prior to the trip, I hadn't learned a lot of Japanese so, when I said hello and she replied back, the conversation had to end there because she didn't speak any English and I didn't have a clue what she was saying. I didn't even know how to ask "do you speak English?" or say "I don't speak much Japanese" at the time.😅

    2
  13493. Your housemates seem rather cool (You can see you all get along well)
    2
  13494. I love watching your videos, they are really entertaining! They also motivate me to study my fourth language (so far) which is Korean. I wanted to try something different and since I've always been interested in asian languages I chose the one with the easiest writing system haha

  13495. Joshua is such a nice guy. He seems very Canadian.

  13496. YOU ARE AWESOME! YOUR CHINESE LANGUAGE ABILITY IS GREAT. HOPE TO SEE YOUR NEXT VIDEO...THANKS.

  13497. Have you ever talked about Chinese politics with Chinese guys? I stayed in Thailand many days for these seven years before Covid. I had opportunities to talk with mainland Chinese, Taiwnese, Hongkong Chinese, Singaporean,Malaysan of Chinese origin, etc. I always had difficulties to talk about politics with Mainlanders. Other people of Chinese origin gave me very frank opinons. But not for Mainlanders. Maybe, talking politics would be taboo to them. I even met a young Chinese student who didn't know about 1989 Tiananmen Protest. I myself like to talk with Americans, my English is not as good as your Chinese, though. Because they are open-minded and I met many Good Samaritans when I studied at Illinois in 1976.

    2
  13509. I was supposed to be going back to Japan in 5 days 😔
    2
  13510. I think I always say this, but I really enjoy your language videos. My language skills are nowhere near as proficient as yours. I have always tried to learn a few basic phrases in the language of the country I'm in, because it's only polite. When I was first in Asia I found many expats lived in foreign language bubbles, and choose not to learn the local language for whatever reason. Japan was different for me personally, because I was interested in the history and culture, in a more than tourist language fashion. Having friends who lived in Asia long term, I got to experience some of these things in real life. My friends spoke some Mandarin, but before I first visited them in Taipei, I purchased a Pimsleur Mandarin course, and because I wanted to believe those you can learn X language in thirty days, spending only ten minutes a twice a week. I failed miserably. I did learn a few base phrases but my pronunciation and rhythm was off. Why, cause I was lazy and didn't put in the effort required to succeed. I had my friend who could communicate in Mandarin to speak for me, so I was able get by. I also found many people could speak and understand some English to greater or lesser degrees of proficiency. Many were shy, and felt their English was poor, and were reluctant to speak it until needed. Their poor English was leaps and bounds more proficient than my bad Mandarin. Prior to my first visited Japan I had purchased a language program called Rocket Japanese, and because my mindset was a little different, I worked a little harder, and knew a very very basic form of Japanese.I remember being thrilled that upon arrival that I understood some words and phrases. I was the Japanese expert (?) in the group, which in reality meant there was no one who had any proficiency in Japanese. I was forced to be the spokesperson, and although I was embarrassed by my lack of language skill and reluctant to speak, I was required to try. I continued studying Japanese in a poor but inefficient manner, and my skill improved minimally. On my second trip I was less afraid and used my poor Japanese whenever I could, and with Google translate got by. I even had some polite people lie about how good my abysmal Japanese was. I also found when back in Taipei that my limited Mandarin sounded more natural. I was asked, and this notable in English, if I spoke Mandarin because my accent and rhythm of speech had improved. I sounded more natural when speaking. I found a Japanese tutor and continued with different online programs until covid ended my tutoring sessions. My Japanese was improving minimally, cause I still wasn't fully committed, and was not studying efficiently and effectively. I knew this but hadn't acted upon this dawning knowledge. Then, I stumbled onto the Oriental Pearl YouTube Channel and discovered Anming who was effective in both Mandarin and Japanese. She seamlessly transitioned from English, Mandarin, and Japanese in the same sentence. I was and still am in awe of your abilities. I subscribed almost immediately, because you didn't try to sell the fairytale that learning a language was easy. You told me it would take daily effort, for years, be hard work, and I would be frustrated, but pushing through all that was only way to succeed. You still inspire me and I'm over 950 days of studying. I never miss a day, and will find a way carve out at least a hour, and often more to study and practice Japanese. This channel has become very important to me. I wait for each new video with anticipation. Anming is not only inspirational, her content is unlike any other in it's real world scope of Japan. It is so many wonderful things, that words in any language fail to fully comprehend what this amazingly gifted creator provides. If your not a subscriber, you should be. Not only that, you should become a Patreon member. Sorry for going off on a pontifical rant Anming. This truly is a great video that eloquently drives home my experiences, and beliefs on the benefits of learning a second or multiple languages. Anming proves it can be done.

  13511. I don't really understand how anyone could have a problem with your content. It's so innocent and fun lol.

  13512. 4 years of learning...4 to go and a basic conversation is definitely a possibility - easy! :P

  13516. Yankee was a Native American term for whites that meant something like "liar," so it predates the Civil War by a long time and was indeed a derogatory remark. In the Southern US they call anyone not southern a Yankee, and it's still a derogatory remark. Technically, Yankees are people from the six US states of New England; Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

    2
  13521. Actually I love these kinds of videos. I feel inspired because watching a person speaking what is considered a very difficult/impossible language to learn makes me feel it's possible to achieve it with hard work. And also, I enjoy seeing people's reaction
    2
  13522. that looks fun; I prefer fried dumplings, though. It's the less-healthy option but whatever haha!

  13526. let's pass the popcorn 🍿 while watching 😊

  13527. The two times I visited Japan on vacation we stayed in hostels. It was great and I'd never stay anywhere else. We all sat around the table one night just talking about stuff. It was like a United Nations. We had Americans, a Frenchman, an Israeli, a Russian, someone from the Netherlands (yeah, I forget what they are called) and one or two others. Strangely, no Japanese person. All of us sitting around the table chatting. Of course, we all went out drinking afterwards, but that's another story.
    2
  13528. You're so inspiring, thank you. I've learned a bit of Japanese, Korean and Mandarin, I start off very determined and excited to learn, then life waylays my studies and steals all of my energy and attention. In small pockets of calm I sometimes come across something that reminds me how much I love languages; tonight that was your videos😸
    2
  13529. I find this video really interesting and beautiful because I have just recently began to appreciate anime & manga! I love that the artist is so proud of his work yet very humble at the same time, I very much appreciate this part of Japanese culture and seek to implement that more into my own life! Love & support from Sweden
    2
  13530. What!??? No review of the dumplings? A big hype about them and we don't get to know how they are? I feel cheated. LOL😧😉😜😆😊

  13533. Have you been to Hikone in Shiga? If not you should visit - peaceful city with a small mountain-town vibe on Lake Biwa - they have a 15th century castle worth checking out and nice views. Anyway - it’s the town I worked in for a few years and I can attest that you will get stared at, lolz….especially with your blonde hair.

  13534. I love pearl and also the video lol

  13535. Absolutely! My mother teaches Dutch (our mother language) to non natives. The ones who are very shy speaking it outside of the classroom are the ones who go up to the higher levels very slowly (my mother teaches A1 beginners), and the ones who really don't care making mistakes and brawl to anyone they meet are just rocketing to the higher levels. I lived 3 years in Morocco, I just kept talking no matter how bad I was at the beginning. The first year they always asked me: Are you American? European? The second year they asked me: Are you Syrian? Iraqi? (So that was a huge improvement, they thought I was Arab at least). The third year they asked me: Are you from Casablanca (they call it ddar al bayda)? From Taroudant? Those are native Moroccon cities, so they thought I actually was Moroccon. Mostly they thought I was Berber, because Berbers have very European like colors. I got to know a group of European women living in Morocco as well. I was shocked hearing that some of them lived there for 12 years without even being able to form a normal sentence in that language. They prefered staying with their own people and were ashamed in making mistakes. Heck, some of them never even spoke to their moroccon neighbours. That's not ok.

  13536. Hey great video! I'm watching all your videos now 🤣, why do the dogs have diapers? Is that a law in Japan?

  13538. I'm currently learning HSK3 Mandarin, and just started Japanese, same as you, knowing some characters for both but it's the pronouncations that troubles me. But after seeing this vid of yours, I'm motivated again to just get going! And yes, I watched it until the end. Thank you so much for your wholesome vids. Maraming salamat po, from the Philippines! 😉🥰

    2
  13557. I think your video production is just fine. Don't see anything wrong with it. Your story telling and editing is what matters. You're doing great! Also, I lived in India for 10 years and most of my Hindi is from Indian commercials haha! "Hero Honda! Dak Dak Go!"

  13558. Japanese are famous for wasteful overpackaging.

  13576. I have the feeling that, 敬語 is similar to the 中国語、the only different ist the Voice Scallas. Honestly... im Folowing your Steps... i startet Korean reading, Training. I will be Flowles with Reading, in a half a year, i Belive. Chinese, the only experience i have, are the Information, from the (Users Manuals) from Imported products, of China. As long as they use Similar 漢字 with the Japanese, the U.M. is still understand-able. I see, Chinese, is more Romantic than Italian Lenguage. Look all this Girls, how their Eyes are Blinking, wen they hear 中国語. Whishing for Friendship with Randoms, except the Co-worckers Relationship. (A Day in the Life of Chinese Worckers in Japan?). Your next Titel? Some eyes are going to become wett. Could you plz, make some Vlogs about 空き家？ i need some better information. Where to Search, how to buy, who to Trust. We know both (日本人も嘘を言っています) Before i find more Trouble, than a nice pleace to Retire. The Angel Costume Fitted both of you Verry well. The big Guy looks like the Angel of love..(Eros). 👍👍👍
    2
  13577. I appreciate the time, effort and passion you put into your videos. You are showing the world the every day life of Japanese people, which I personally found interesting and different at the same time. It really feels like I am there on a tour with you. Thank you. Keep it up!!!!!!!

  13579. Once again, you’ve put out another very interesting video. Thanks!
    2
  13580. Very cool video,👍 I like alot! The way you went backwards into time it reminded me of the movie "retribution" resident evil movie intro without the action of course.keep the videos coming.
    2
  13581. I love this so much! I'm 9 months into learning Korean (with a private teacher) and I feel like I know nothing. Sometimes I get discouraged because I can't have a full fluid conversation, but I do know a lot of grammatical info and I have come a long way. I just feel like I'll never be fluent, but then I remember sometime it takes years, or even a decade to be 'fluent', especially if your older or it's not your native language, you may still be learning vocab forever and that's ok. ITS OK TO NOT BE PERFECT, AS LONG AS YOU TRY ♥️♥️♥️ 사랑해요!

  13582. As a non-Chinese Malaysian, i can vouch that Cantonese is used widely to curse people 😂😂😂

  13589. I'm very surprised to see two of the most famous pro-Chinese YouTubers talking together..because I'd thought you were rivals.. And you girls are actually so cute and fun! And about the reasons why many YouTubers videos about China/Japan are so flattering is..as far as I know..both Chinese and Japanese viewers are too childish to accept critical comments about their culture or politics..so for most YouTubers it would be better/safer for them to keep their mouths shut about controversial topics if they wanna keep earning $$$ from those simple-minded viewers. However I feel Anming is more neutral and not afraid of criticizing some parts of their cultures..which is why I enjoy her videos.

  13590. Nice video. But I had to stop watching it and turn up the volume to the max, because someone played The Lick in the background at 3:57. No place is safe from The Lick.

  13608. Apparently learning Chinese is (or is becoming) a thing here in Japan for locals. I worked in an eikaiwa in Saitama who were offering both English and Chinese lessons - surprisingly, to me at least, the Chinese lessons were far more popular and I was told that it's a recent trend which is on the rise. If you don't want to make the journey down to Yokohama (and yes it feels far!), you could try Jujo, Akabane, Kawaguchi - there is almost as much Chinese as Japanese spoken on the streets. I use Jujo station most days, and I hear Chinese on pretty much every walk to the station.

  13609. Yes please 🙏🏼😍 Make more videos I wish they were longer 🎉

  13619. I had very positive reactions from Nihonjin when I used my limited Nihongo. A simple "doko wa" and pointing to a hand map generally gets a lot of attention. "Dozo wa kudasai" when standing in line and and gesturing older people to proceed you also gets a very positive reaction.

The fact that thy are so proud of her distinct home and surrounding area was fantastic as she went on to tell you that’s “why” your Chinese language skills were 👌🏽❤️👏🏽. I’m praying 🙏🏽 about the flooding, earthquakes and other events that maybe the media has negatively portrayed for whatever reason. God Bless you and Remain cautious of TIGER 🐅 Mommas! Your dedication and cultural awareness is simply beautiful to me.

  13627. in korea a lot of foreigners either speak decent korean or don’t speak a word and expect you to speak to them in english but i was always too scared to speak to them in english so didn’t get the chance to practice my english with foreigners very often. when i first visited an english speaking country i was TERRIFIED and so afraid to use the language that i had been learning, i wish there were videos like this and people like you to make me more confident in my abilities back then. thank you for making an sharing these with us

  13632. In Japan, where there are few foreign-speaking people in the first place, they are not familiar with foreign languages. It seems natural to be impressed if the Japanese have the ability to speak Japanese somehow. There are few flattery

  13650. My roommate from college was Japanese. Instead of returning to Japan the first summer, she decided to take summer classes. For the 3 weeks between the summer and fall semester, she came to our home. My dad worked night shift at that time. Every day, my mom would kiss him goodbye and tell him to be safe. My roommate was so amazed by this. She had never seen her parent hug much less kiss. I have such wonderful memories of Etsuyo.
    2
  13651. Oh wow I remember watching one of her videos a long time ago, so this was a pleasant surprise!
    2
  13652. I think you are a very strong person beacuse what you did and keep doing, is really impressive. You decide to go to China not just to travell but to live, learn and teach, that`s very very awesome, i take off my hat for you =) Maybe i`m wrong but for a women, in a world like ours it can be more difficult. Like others said this channel is just in the beginning! \o/\o/\o/

I lived on Ton Son Nhut Airbase, which was on the west side of Saigon at the south side of the Saigon airport but worked at a communication site near downtown. It was quite an experience and I have no complaints or bad feelings toward the Vietnamese people. It will always be Saigon to me - not Ho Chi Minh City.

  13675. Very interesting video.

  13676. I think it depends on the situation and how condescending it comes across as. My worst experience in Japan was quite early on in my Japanese studies. I went to a gaming convention called 'Bitsummit' in Kyoto. A member of staff asked me why I was in Japan (unprovoked - I was watching a demonstration of a game at the booth) so I go to reply with 'I'm currently a student learning Japanese' But, before I even got 'watashi' out of my mouth all I heard was "sugoi, sugoi anata no japanese wa jyouzu desu" didn't even let me finish a sentnece, was quite an annoying situation. However I do understand that sometimes it's natural to get surprised responses especially in a country like japan which was a very isolated country until recent years. But this experience was just terrible for me.

  13677. The people are so nice and friendly that is one of the reasons why i love japan and i want to live in it

  13682. So, SO inspiring! I've been studying chinese for 9 months and still struggling to recall enough for a conversation. Nevertheless, it has been a lifelong goal to master, so I keep working on it daily.
    2
  13683. I feel like learning a second language is very smart, I wish I had learned at a young age, but to learn Mandarin or Japanese with completely different characters than English speaking languages seems like an impossible task because to me it seems like you would have to learn to speak the language which could be done verbally but to read it takes an entirely different level of learning. Also the mentality of accepting the culture around you and assimilating into said culture is the proper way to move to another country. This mentality many have in America of coming here and not learning the language or customs or assimilating to our societal standards and common practices does not help bring people together, in fact it does the opposite and just creates ghettos or areas in places that are completely devoid of the culture of the country they reside in. If you want to go live in Japan then assimilate to their rules and way of life and the same goes for the Americas, Europe, and Africa. It is sad to think my viewpoint would be considered bigoted to people I really don't understand how it is bigoted to respect the customs of the country in which you reside.

  13684. Another amazing video! 🤩

  13685. That looked like so much fun! I love how the guys geeked out in the end.
    2
  13686. I'm trying to learn Japanese but im still stuck in Katakana LOL! Im wondering what methods did you use to motivate yourself and learn it faster?
    2
  13687. I totally agree. I've used lots of different apps, but the real results always come from interacting with people. I've used HelloTalk and Tandem, and I'm very happy with both of them, and yep, you're right, the best way to use them is to start sending lots of messages and contact with lots of people. Many of them won't never answer, but a few do. I still use Duolingo, but it's by no means my main source of learning. I do language exchange, watch online videos and practice a lot.
    2
  13688. I guess that's a good point, just need to really understand the basics of any language and then solidify them by effort and consistency afterwards.
    2
  13689. That's funny 😁

  13690. For the Cherry blossoms....I knew it!!

  13692. I’ve heard Finnish is a very difficult language to learn and very few if any polyglots have Finnish in their armour. So kudos to him.

  13701. In the end, a lot of things come down to how many hours you put in. Especially [skills]. Any kinds of [skills]. Unfortunately, for asian languages, no shortcuts. Grind is needed. It's not for everyone.

  13703. Ooh I remember giving an Asian international student a compliment but they didn't see thankful. Maybe that was why 🤔
    2
  13704. I really love Japan too and I’m Chinese. Even though there is some bad history between Japan and China, but that doesn’t stop me from loving the Japanese culture. Most of the time when you guys say yall love China other people will assume “oh you must love the Chinese government” well that’s certainly not true cause y’all just loving the culture and that have nothing to do with the government.
    2
  13705. Ahh, I missed your live chat. 😢 Maybe next time. I was up all night & slept for about and hour & half this morning. Hi from Ohio.
    2
  13706. I don't want to downplay how useful it is to speak many languages at a basic level. So I agree with the fact that these Polyglots on YouTube don't speak the languages perfectly, but being able to speak a language at a basic level allows you to have genuine interactions if you go to another country or meet people from another country. It also helps you in an emergency to just know how to say basic things in a language. If we care about utility, there is plenty of benefit from knowing a lot of languages only at a basic conversational level, because of the people you will be able to connect with and interact with thanks to that language. It depends on your goals. Fluency in one language has its use, and a basic understanding of many languages has its use.

  13719. Question, what happens during rainy season in an Asian country when they don't have dryers? how do you hang clothes outside if it rains continuously for days or longer? or is this just not an issue? Can clothes still dry on rainy days if there is a cover blocking the rain i wonder? Not having a dryer in those situations seems crazy to me, lol.

  13722. I watched the video of things to never to do in Japan. It seems most of it is old school, respect the elders and how to act in social situations.. I honestly wanted to go one day but I am afraid of offending someone by placing my chopsticks wrong or not serving beverages to the right person first. Now I wonder how strict the standards are...
    2
  13723. I am 100% fluent in two languages and can understand 4. Really wanna learn Japanese, but it seems hard to master, without having someone to practice with.. I only know a few phrases. I admire you for knowing both Chinese and Japanese!

  13730. Your videos are always so cool, it's so nice to keep watching new videos over the years. I've learned a bit of japanese myself and there's something so joyful in using people's native language to talk to them. I feel like it's an earnest connection that just makes pretty much all social barriers disappear. Keep 'em coming :) PS: I'm subscribed!

  13757. Congrats
    2
  13758. What is his channel?
    2
  13759. This is my favorite video of yours so far. I loved the production and the chill music in the background. You didn't feel obligated to use Japanese music, and I like that free thinking. A strange thing happened to me at the very end, too. When I read "Kyushu Shinkansen", all these feelings came up and I began to cry uncontrollably. Sometimes I feel like I'm longing for something that has already happened in a parallel time dimension, and I'm just waiting for it to happen in this one. Occasionally, the dimensions cross over in waves of nostalgia...
    2
  13760. Awww, brings back a memory I had the one time I was in Japan and went up Mount Takao outside of Tokyo, on the route up was a whole line of school children that spotted me and my brother, they all had to wave and say 'Hello' in English as we passed, each and every one of them, they were so excited and cute.
    2
  13761. 半个老乡！You sure learned fast to connect with Chinese! That is so cool!
    2
  13762. She looks like a doll
    2
  13763. Id love to live in Japan and either work in IT / as a car mechanic or to teach German and English (german is my native languages and i speak English mostly fluent) <-- Sometimes ill forget some words but its the same in german.
    2
  13764. 😂 I have a hard time talking to people. In your videos you seem to be able to naturally talk with people and its not awkward. Its amazing seeing you using the languages youre learning with native speakers. I want to try pimsleur but I'm not sure how accurate they are with Japanese (and any other language). I've been learning on and off. Now keeping it daily. I think I would say something if I caught someone talking about myself or my friend. If it was something harmless like in your situation. Its a chance to speak it and possibly make friends or a good time. I'm glad you're almost at 1 million subscribers! As someone who had a similar dream or desire to travel to Japan and other countries while learning the language its impressive watching you achieve it.

  13765. 中国人讲话，老乡见老乡，两眼泪汪汪。Literally, fellow villager meets a fellow villager abroad, both of their eyes well up with tears because of the excitement。
    2
  13766. Geibikei Gorge! I was just there a couple weeks ago. My husband almost got his rock in the hole I was no where close. Hahaha
    2
  13767. Nice hahaha
    2
  13768. Lisa has razor blade as necklace. That reminded me of my old friend. He had the same & when he ran, onetime the blade cut his chin & blood dripped like water in closed tap.
    2
  13769. I just realized what I wanted my whole life. Play beyblabe!!!!
    2
  13770. Your Chinese sounds very natural and soothing.
    2
  13771. I can teach you cantonese.
    2
  13772. Amazing language skills. I lived in Japan and China and learned a bit about both languages but the skills are long gone. Congrats!
    2
  13773. awww nice video anming 💕your outfit is soo cute 🥰
    2
  13774. At least being big in Japan isn't a disadvantage..people may look at you sometimes, especially in lower town areas where people are more candid and friendly, but they will not despise you for being chubby--they are just curious. Some Japanese people even prefer chubby guys/girls... And he looks like a very nice guy with a generous heart just like you are😊
    2
  13775. Wow realy cool i wish i could do that aswell, going around beeing able to speak more than 1langueage. I can only Speak German and English but you are next Level =) Actually subscribed i love your content! thanks.
    2
  13776. Prior to my third trip to Japan I learnt Japanese for 3 months in Sydney. Greeting people, asking questions and directions (even when I knew where I was going) made my holiday completely amazing. Though it was a big crash when I got back home and it was all over. Made me wish I could do what Anming is doing, hence I live vicariously through her 😉
    2
  13777. "Pokemom" Pikachu is a great addition to your video. So many pretty and clever costumes. Love the jellyfish. And the song overlay "Oh no", originally done by the Shangri-La's in "Remember (Walking in the Sand)".
    2
  13778. Lisa is absolutely gorgeous-inside and out!
    2
  13779. I love the part where they're talking about "bye bye" being unusual to say in America. Ask an Irish person the same thing and they'll say we have to say it at least 8 times before hanging up on a phone call.
    2
  13780. Omg, i love your channel, you are so uplifting with your language skills i could watching you the whole Day talking to people and make them happy 😁. Best wishes from Austria 🇦🇹 🙏 😎 stay safe

  13781. You're living a dream. So happy for you and thoroughly enjoyed all your videos. 👍👍👍

  13788. Omg that old lady is so cute
    2
  13789. Another good video Anming.
    2
  13790. For me the effect watching polyglots have had is the following : That its inspirational to see these people speak all these different languages. It makes you think , if they can do it, there is a possibility, that i can do it to. And it inspired me to start to learn russian.. Thankyou to all the polyglots putting up videos. :-) Youre inspiring the rest of us, to learn new languages. :-)
    2
  13791. Haha nice. Definitely an old 2020 theme video with a twist. Glitch that Matrix. What a classic term that was.😄😆
    2
  13792. You and your future husband look so cute together!!
    2
  13793. Great video! Looking forward to the Japanese one.

  13796. Congratulations on the upcoming marriage. My wife and I were married in September and I spent my first New Years with her family in Okinawa. I hope this year is blessed for you both.
    2
  13797. This video makes me feel motivated to learn it!!!!! Thanks so much, I wanna get that level of fluency! I'm a Spanish speaker though <3
    2
  13798. Learning about Japanese culture must be very fun and awesome. And it's very amazing that your mother met the in laws for the first time. I really love the deer's they are so cute.
    2
  13799. O.P. You always make me smile...Your channel is getting bigger and bigger, its so great to see. Keep smiling 😊
    2
  13800. Please could you share a link to Katie's new YouTube channel? I'd like to subscribe to her in anticipation of these new videos! 😄 Hi from the UK! 👋
    2
  13801. I'm just disappointed you didn't try talk to the deer
    2
  13802. 的确，语言的产生是人类的进化的一个重要的催化剂；但“语言之间的隔阂”， 却又阻碍着人类的进步。这其实是一个有意思的哲学问题。所以，你所做的看似没什么意义，但对消除“隔阂”还是有一定的积极意义的。顺便说一句，北京人管你这样的叫“话密”，略带贬义，但“话密”确实对学习语言很有好处。
    2
  13803. ヤクザですか？ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ 超分かる. this isn't even 歌舞伎町 at night and you can meet these kinds of characters >.< Adapting to your surroundings is key~~ And it's totally normal to bike in a skirt in Japan lol
    2
  13804. Congrats have a great wedding
    2
  13805. 11:00 I was so tired during one of my travels in Japan that I accidentally left my Sony RX100 Mk V camera on the public bus. Thankfully, I managed to get it back the next day. That could've ruined the entire trip. Love Japan.
    2
  13806. What a nice follow-up to Part One. I applaud Jessica’s candidness and great to see a marked improvement in your archery skills. :D
    2
  13807. Good Stuff! I enjoyed this video.
    2
  13808. Always so excited to seeing your video. Such a fun and amazing video.

  13814. You are making us Americans proud.🥹
    2
  13815. Ran into your channel last week it was recommended since I watch a lot of China/Japan expats and so far I love it. Keep it up
    2
  13816. I know you and Toby will be okay! Just gotta get through this whole mess, I do hope that you guys stay safe. As well as your family in the states. It's a scary situation and all we can do is hope it gets better soon. Be safe. Don't give up 🙏🏼 things are probably the toughest right now but please keep in touch! With family and friends, even us subs. We're all in this one together. 🙏🏼

  13817. 你是在说虾片是中国的嘛 我幼儿园姥姥经常给炸 之后再也没吃过了 感觉外国都好喜欢卖虾片 法国家乐福都有生产哈哈哈

    2
  13820. Your videos have really inspired me and your so enjoyable to watch. Lots of love from Ireland ❤️
    2
  13821. Great video. Thanks! I always thought these poly's were a sham. I've been studying Russian for 8 years and I'm still far from fluent.
    2
  13822. You can tell uve put a lot of hard work and time into learning not only to speak Japanese and Chinese, but to read them too. Thankyou "Anming". Your "advice" is always taken onboard.😘👍
    2
  13823. I checked out her band since I am very big into Japanese rock/metal bands now. It was more cute metal which at some point I may get into one day but right now I listen to the more hard rock bands like Bridear, Lovebites, Mary's blood and so on.
    2
  13824. Your Japanese improves rocketly, like your free lifestyle
    2
  13825. I love ur laugh so muchhh😭😭❤️❤️🙏
    2
  13826. I live in Japan and wanted to live in the United States. A one of the reasons is because I love firearms.❤
    2
  13827. Hi Anming! Just wanted to leave a positive feedback here and also say that what you accomplished is wonderful! Takes discipline and love to speak a language so well, really amazing! 😁 I love seeing these random parts about a country (especially Japan 🇯🇵 ❤️),markets, short conversations with different people etc. it’s great to watch different things and also listen to the language. Also happy new year 🎊 ☺️
    2
  13828. Keep it up. its nice to see that Japan is doing its best to continue as normal.
    2
  13829. This is a great example to show that you can always catch up after falling behind for whatever reason. But it takes hard work and dedication to make it happen! It can be done and anyone can do it!
    2
  13830. I instantly wanna die multilingual Now I can speak 4 languages Japanese Hindi English nepali 😆 Starting Chinese but it's hard to me

    2
  13834. I saw this as recommended and I'm glad I've watched this~ Ypu two are amazing ~ Love it! 💕（*＾ワ＾*）💕 Edit: you* spelling error already :p
    2
  13835. Idk, I feel like completing the Duolingo course gave me a good foundation, a good starting point in my language, but the notion that you can get fluent from an app is pretty ridiculous. It has to be supplemented with a lot. But they are useful if someone has reasonable expectations and don’t just use it to try and be fluent.
    2
  13836. Please upload more love it ❤️
    2
  13837. Oriental Pearl you are so amazing speaking various asian languages. You are truly blessed. I enjoy watching your videos . You are special in my eyes & your husband is very fortunate to have you. Much love & blessings to you & yours in your daily walk in life.❤ :)
    2
  13838. They were so friendly!
    2
  13839. Shouldn't be hard for Indonesians to understand Malay, Malay lacks all the Dutch words, and has more English words, but for the rest... All the names of their foods are the same in Malay, Indonesian, and Dutch :)
    2
  13840. I really enjoy your videos. With the tensions between the world and China right now it's good to have people like you to bridge the gap between the cultures and show the Chinese people are just regular hard working folk no matter how bad their government is.
    2
  13841. I subscribed just because you tapped the dudes subscribe button at the end there lol.

  13844. one Japanese sichuan chef disliked this video ..........

  13852. "Are you Russian" seems to be a kind of running gag on this channel.
    2
  13853. I can speak 8 languages, still learning 3 of them

  13863. That was sick, thanks for that
    2
  13864. for today I watched your video one hour late I'm sorry, I'm like crazy! why, because I chuckle and smile at the reactions of people who are shocked by your fluency in Mandarin, thanks to today's video I can add little by little Mandarin vocabulary and correct and correct pronunciation. your student is from Indonesia🇮🇩 :)
    2
  13865. This is why I like the Japanese culture it's very respectful. Just like the simple interactions of saying what you've paid and asking you to count the change. Or the way business cards are intoduced And the level of trust like leaving vending machines in public
    2
  13866. If I were that restaurant owner, I would also turn down an offer of 1.7 dollars for a 3.5 dollar meal.
    2
  13867. why i hear carole and tuesday vibe im sure im not the only one who thinks it
    2
  13868. I'm late to this but congrats! You guys are cute together, I hope you have a happy life! Edit: You also look beautiful and I'm sorry your parents couldn't be there
    2
  13869. Prejudice and Myths are usually dispelled quickly. Plus if you're not in that culture, its easy to fall into stereotyping different cultures without context. Videos like this are good to show not everything you hear or presume follows that stereotype.
    2
  13870. Wishing you all Joyous Christmas and a Blessed New Year ahead! 🎄 💕 🍸
    2
  13871. ear cleaning feels weird asf who pays a stranger to stick smth into their ear might try it lol
    2
  13872. The work culture tidbits were so interesting! PS: that commute isn't bad. In LA it takes me more than 30 mins to drive 6 miles :-/
    2
  13873. LoL I love these "coming to America" fish outta water stories 😂 Awesome!
    2
  13874. Mom said don’t talk to strangers. Her: talk to strangers..
    2
  13875. Getting to live your dream and talk to your own personal hero one-on-one would be a great experience! Good for you! I guess if you're a girl travelling alone to Japan, first learn how to say: "No I do not want to go to a love hotel!" Haha.
    2
  13876. Those egg tarts were a plot twist to me: a native English speaker needed to speak in Mandarin and Japanese to find some Portuguese-style pastries (pastéis de nata) ... and they usually are worth the effort!
    2
  13877. Loved this video! I love your positive vibes and confidence. I have to say, visiting a country where one can't understand the language nor read anything is pretty daunting yet exciting. Japanese people seem very cheerful and polite. And Tokyo never looked so good! Two thumbs up.👍👍
    2
  13878. hello I follow you with pleasure, I am Italian but I study several languages ​​also Chinese and Cantonese. good continue so you are beautiful and intelligent. 😊

    2
  13884. you're so funny
    2
  13885. I’ve been to Detroit. It was a very long time ago. It wasn’t that bad, well, at least not where we (my cousins & I) were in downtown. My husband’s family live around there and he said when they went into Detroit, his uncle would drive with a weapon on the dashboard, all windows up and locked doors.
    2
  13886. You should do vlogs about Japan and your time there and also more Japanese/Chinese reaction videos
    2
  13887. Love 💕 that you didn’t get a ticket. Love the video. Love ❤️ the music at 11:08 👍🥰. “Tofu Brains 🧠!!!” The new name of my Rock band 😄.

  13888. I think there's one thing we can all agree on: that is the most awesome hat.

  13893. It’s so beautiful when Japanese people just immediately open up when you can speak their language. They will happily sit and talk with you for days
    2
  13894. CONGRATULATIONS,FROM GREAT MACEDONIA.❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️

  13895. You are simply delightful, Young Lady!

  13897. New video yayy 🤗👍
    2
  13898. thank you for sharing this, i dropped tears more than you i think
    2
  13899. Come to Kansai! Rural areas around Tokyo are very rural, everything focusing on Tokyo. But, in Kansai, it's well distributed among the big cities like Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. And, people are also different, maybe you can get a different reaction.
    2
  13900. Excellent, and well done!

  13901. Sos una chica fenomenal, me encanta su risa, muy natural un saludo desde Colombia.

    2
  13903. Wow, didn't expect to see Japan looking in this kind of condition. It was kind of a culture shock. My #1 place I always wanted to visit is Japan since alot Japanese # 1 spot to visit is Hawaii where I'm from. Japanese people is one nicest people. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing adventure. I learned alot by watching your utube channel. Aloha from Hawaii
    2
  13904. Very enjoyable to see you put a smile on peoples' faces with your talent. Hopefully you will gain subscribers who feel like me. I'm excited to see your Korean soon!

  13908. Can you do a video about your method of learning a foreign language?
    2
  13909. Wow Ang Galing! An-Ming You Never Cease To Amaze Us With Your Language Skills! Sana All Nakakasalita Ng Iba’t-Ibang Lengguahe Katulad Mo! ^^ I Hope To Hear You Speak Filipino Someday ^^
    2
  13910. Wow such hard work . I think you should look for work in a government position or a manufacturing consulting position. Japan is moving out of China and alot of USA will move out.

  13911. Thank you Alyssa for helping make us aware of what is happening with homeless population in some major metropolitan areas. Going to make a donation.

  13914. someone once told me that a teacher takes 5 years to control his class..so i stopped blaming myself, why i was starting my career .. i never thought that being a teacher of small children is the most beautiful profession in the world, but the only bad thing is the damn educational system that treats children just like numbers, why children are not robots, when you love your students, you are the happiest professional in the world..well, thanks for the video and sorry for the incorrect english , I got to know your channel today and I'm learning English. Automatic subtitles help a LOT.
    2
  13915. Very informative video. Yuki-san is great.
    2
  13916. negative/positive= reality!
    2
  13917. Hats off to you for another great video. And couldn't agree more! I know people who are so good at English but are afraid to approach tourists and talk to them. I myself always have to hold back. Once saw a backpacker from Spain and idk what happened but we ended up talking about orange blooms XD It was so random but I guess if they wanna talk they meet you halfway and make it very easy!
    2
  13918. Waaaay late to see this, but yeah, I started viewing some of these types of videos, and beyond the childishness of making 'white guy surprises Asian people by speaking their language/dialect' videos over and over and over, I noticed that a lot of these supposed 'fluent' X speakers really seemed to stumble over words, have to repeat themselves multiple times to be understood, and mostly keep saying the same sort of phrases over and over, as if they'd basically anticipated the sorts of convos they'd have, and practiced just the sorts of things they'd need to say in those specific situations. 'No, no, I don't speak X that well, you speak English better', 'I just like learning languages.', etc, etc.
    2
  13919. Some come for entertainment and that's ok but I know enough Chinese and Japanese to stay with you as you grow.
    2
  13920. All of your videos are awesome good job 👍
    2
  13921. That is very impressive your Chinese is excellent Japanese is absolutely acceptable and you have a great personality keep going girl your rock ✌🏻
    2
  13922. You should ask for some % of their sales for that advertisement 😂 great video!
    2
  13923. English name may be Alyssa, but you will always be Anming. Glad people can enjoy the finest of pizza toppings, salty ham and pineapple.
    2
  13924. Please tell us some of the good stories as well…..all of these people must have had some amazing story’s too. They looked happy and healthy during the interview, so there must be some joy to be had for a mixed race in Japan. Thank you for sharing, Michigan girl.
    2
  13925. 3:27 I died of tenderness and sadness with that working grandmother at that age and with that posture. She is so kind, god bless her. 😥

  13927. I hope you stay safe! 请注意安全。

  13931. What an adorable girl!
    2
  13932. It definitely inspired me to learn other languages? Lol that’s a extremely bold claim to say it doesn’t. Very arrogant of someone to speculate on 1000s of peoples motives to learn new languages

  13933. Love your channel. Greetings from The Netherlands.

  13934. Robin San. U have a good friend here.

  13939. I want to go to Japan so bad!! :O It looks amazing and would be so eye-opening
    2
  13940. You can't blame those young Japanese guys for trying to flirt with a tall, blonde, pretty girl.
    2
  13941. Holy shit, I think out of the many american youtubers, you might actually be one of those with a good grasp on the Chinese tones. I’m from south East Asia and your Chinese accent would pass pretty well. Other youtubers who speak mandarin or the rare dialects still have the some accents or miss the tones but you really nailed it for 95% of the time.
    2
  13942. I think you are more amazing for still responding to random comments than for speaking so many languages.... Dont respond to this one, just read it, dont waste time 😄
    2
  13943. Im self teaching Japanese and its so nice when i can understand full sentences you say! Your videos really help.
    2
  13944. Thanks ladies for what you are providing us some open minded views and great music which this world is lacking. Jealousy is always hate and with it nothing is beautiful to their soul. So keep up the good work when you have haters you know your doing something right.
    2
  13945. OMG can't believe this video hits 20 million 💖💖 Very congrats
    2
  13946. Thank you for the truth, Jesus bless you both. This has cleared a lot of doubt in my mind when it comes to languages, doy gracia.

  13947. What is Katie's YouTube channel?
    2
  13948. They were praising you so hatd I would be embarrassed 😂 you reacted well!
    2
  13949. I think Jesse had the right idea not wanting to risk upsetting the big guy. I've been watching some YT videos recently about people's experience who were born in Japan (with Japanese as their first language) but they are either mixed race or their families moved there before they were born. Very interesting.

  13953. I like the energy of the girl in black

  13954. The guy seems nice enough, but God damn if what he does for entertainment isn't annoying as all hell. What a lame pickup strategy, and the rap was cringe worthy.
    2
  13955. I was learning Japanese since 8, (currently 10) I intend on going to Japan a lot, and possibly moving there when I move out
    2
  13956. OK FINE, I'll subscribe, after lurking for 6 months. :D

  13957. A nice little taste of life in one American City. Tommy looked ready to stay, but he was adamant that he will be back sooner than later. It appears newly weds in bliss stage is still in full display. Looking forward to further instalments.
    2
  13958. I started watching this channel years ago when it was still fresh. I remember the view count per video was all over the place and the channel was just criminally underrated for a while. So glad to see the subscriber numbers and view counts now! Anming really deserves the recognition for great content!
    2
  13959. I always found the earthquake experience to be more strange than scary. The sensation of sitting at home and suddenly the whole apartment building starts wobbling and swaying is such a surreal feeling which is hard to describe unless you've been through it yourself. There's a footbridge over the Shakuji River near where I lived which was designed with so much "give" in it for earthquakes that it bounced like a trampoline when more than one person walked on it, it was more scary than an actual quake. Lucky you didn't get your train back from Kawagoe cancelled after the quake, they tend to cancel/ heavily delay those trains around there for lesser things like wind and rain (and of course the daily "human accident"), Saikyo and TobuTojo lines, it happened to me quite a few times.
    2
  13960. I’ve been really diving in to Japanese culture for a while and am studying the language. And would love to speak Japanese when I go. I just wanted to ask how you learned how to speak the language?
    2
  13961. Eu ti amo ❤ my love ❤
    2
  13962. yes im late but i didn't forget.
    2
  13963. Anming, ive got to say this was probably in my top 3 videos of yours. I really really enjoyed it! Those guys are cool man. And so are you
    2
  13964. I like this guy. So chill.
    2
  13965. Im curious of the courses you can take. I read you can take various courses many places especially if your fluent in Japanese you can go into any career. For people who are not theres a few english taught courses/career choices(id like to know those if you have any idea) and that you can go to a university in Japan for English degree easily which is what im very curious about how to go about that or what is needed for it. I backpacked japan june, july, & august 2013 and i put too much hope into my homeland and work that im not taken appreciated for, i went sweden year after, than from 2015 to now it spiral downed with many friends dying, getting illegally kicked out, getting abuse by family and abusive relationship(no longer in), dropping out of college because i have to work to survive and now living check to check barely.....its suffocating and i remember how easily and better i survived in Japan. I was accepted and appreciated more as well. It was life changing. I yearn for the Tokyo sunsets and the ocean bay city. It was easier to be healthy to get a bento for 3$ or ramen for 5$, in USA that be 20$ but ofc course theres mcdonalds and all the unhealthy cheap crap with chemicals🙄 I truly miss Japan. I stare at the sunset from my work SJC airport rooftop ony break everyday. Ive always felt pulled to it. I yearn to live in Japan one day.

  13966. I believe hiring companies look favourably on such voluntary activities denoted on one's resume. You answered my question at the end. I hoped per diem was offered if not Suckers, haha just kidding. Obnoxious boys and demurred girls. 16 years olds?
    2
  13967. Wow, THANK YOU for this invaluable insight!!! What a video!!!!! I would love to see more of these real sites of Japan - only if you don't have to risk your own safety or people's dignity living there. Thank you for being kind and respectful. <3

  13968. Hello my friend idol shout out hehe love you idol mwah ❤️

  13969. Actually I was introduced to Kelly's channel before getting on to this channel. I'm happy to know that you both are friends
    2
  13970. I wish I could live in Japan. But I need to learn the Japanese language and how to write.
    2
  13971. Im thinking, one of the reasons why his Japanese is so good, might be because of his Finnish accent, not that different from Japanese I reckon ?
    2
  13972. Awesome video! So funny when the guys asked if you had a boyfriend. Loved that you had a nice conversation with the older woman. The guys at the beach were nice and wanted a picture with you! So sweet.
    2
  13973. Congratulations to you and yours! Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!
    2
  13974. I really hope to get a chance to hang out with a polyglot one day. That looks so fun surprising foreign people with their own language! 😍 I live in a city with ”only” 100k population. There are not many restaurants here and therefore chances when I could enhance my skills and surprise the foreign people. 😕 I have to travel to Helsinki for a weekly held languge cafe. There I can do it properly! 😄 Thanks for the great video! ❤️
    2
  13975. Sweet. Congratulations to you both.

  13976. Great video!

  13983. Id like to believe you're a walking A.I😂
    2
  13984. Hey Anming! Just a thought on your editing. I think the musical parts with nice shots of the surroundings you might want to slow-mo the footage a little bit and add some video stabilization just to make it a little smoother. I am impressed with your videos getting more professional! Great job!
    2
  13985. Man is she gorgeous! Of course talented as well, anyone would be lucky to have her :)
    2
  13986. Sorry Anming I suscribed at this moment , when I read about the 70% of viewers that are not suscribed LOL , I think Your chinese is not amazing , What is really amazing its your attitude, humility , the calm that seeks to inspire those of us who want to learn other languages, and the search for warm smiles from people who must live abroad, away from their family and sharing other meals and custom. t I hope you return to you German roots and to my beloved Spanish that you learned in childhood, the amazing era when you forged that character that we and the 70% enjoy in your channel ! See you ASAP.
    2
  13987. I met my japonese husband in the same App! He was trying to learn spanish and me japanese. Now we have 10 years together. Congratulations, guys!
    2
  13988. I spent a year in the sticks, and a year in Tokyo, and yes, it was an absolutely different experience in rural Japan, compared to Urban Japan.
    2
  13989. T.L.D.W. Live in the country or region of the country where the language is spoken and get a boyfriend or girlfriend who speaks that language. For example. if you are trying to learn German live in Germany(or Austria) and get a german girlfriend pr boyfriend.
    2
  13990. please do not hit me from now on i will behave well hahahahahha I ALMOST DIED FROM LAUGHING A LOT IN THE MINUTE 6:52 HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  13991. Bless you for doing this work. So many of us just talk. You are doing! Great respect to you!
    2
  13992. "Cow-Tongue." Our mom used to cook that for us back in the day. I never could warm up to it. It tasted OK but I just wasn't comfortable with tasting a food dish that tasted you back. Does the KFC in Japan sell chicken-tongue? I ask because in central and south America they sell, cook and eat nearly every part of the chicken. Something off topic: I noticed in your video a Buddha statue that appeared to be wearing an orange life jacket. Are you guys expecting another tsunami?
    2
  13993. I enjoy watching your videos, you’re very talented. Keep it up 👍🏻

  14003. There is a sensational YouTuber polyglot in my country Indonesia named Fiki Naki with more than 4 million subscribers. I dunno if he is really polyglot because he said learning a very short time. "Shocking /impressed other people" I dunno if he is fake or not. But when I see this video, I think understand better about the "fluency illusion". I think what they did(fake polyglot) is become poison of language learner. Especially for people who has passion regarding LANGUAGE learner. The expectations that "I will fluent in short time" is more like double edge sword. Some people can hold it if they understand the essential thing of learning language that learning language is life time dedication. but many people will fail if they think that "they don't have the talent for it". And that is the biggest problem. Many people just will give up because they cannot do the same as their idol or not even close. The second problem are it makes language teacher look "stupid" and a failure and unnecessary in school. While in reality, we cannot progress without someone that giving an advice to us. Especially teacher at school or a book etc. some of Indonesian highschool, they make 1 year course to a language just for introduction. 1 year for Japan, 1 year for German(in my school). When many "fake polyglot" appears like you said in the video, it make teachers have a negative light. I don't defend a bad way of learning a language from school, but even if it's bad, it still have a progress and clear goal in the end of the course. And even with that, many people fails. Including me. I learn English passively trough the years of listening on YouTube and reading novel on internet. I don't even understand the tenses well even until now. I was learning at school but I never knew English that well. It just happen when I start watching YouTube and read novel . But the immersion that I have make me feel that I am really learning without knowing it. I think 10 years maybe when I starting it. Most of Indonesian people can talk 2 language, and the young generation can speak 3 language with English(1 local language, national language bahasa Indonesia and English). Some news said that Indonesia is 1 of the biggest trilingual people .Not everybody though. and some local can speak 2 local language so they can speak 4 language (IF their parents have different ethnicity from other provinces in indonesia) I can say in a class of 40 people, 5-15 people can understand English. But even with that, we learn it trough the years of practicing it.
    2
  14004. Oh, what a determined person you are! I came here to Japan 2 months ago, I can actually speak the language but here I realized that I need to study more if I want to get into this culture. Even we have the same difficulties, you are committed to study Korean while being in Japan, that’s so cool! Keep studying and you’ll fulfill all your goals 👏👏
    2
  14005. Great Video. I am interested in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean culture and these videos help me learn a little more. Thanks

  14007. This is such an interesting combo!!!
    2
  14008. Thanks Anming, I’ve been waiting for this video, it’s really good. I’m reassured by the fact, that you said you found Japanese difficult, I really do, especially listening, but you’ve reassured me, I’ll use hello talk and study more!
    2
  14009. I can watch these videos so many times, i dont know but it is so funny to see the reaction on people, and it is so fun to see when people around you try to pretend they dont look and listen to you 😄

  14035. I've really enjoyed watching your videos,so many thanks for them,and keep them coming. I have a question for you. I was married to an Indonesian woman for 20 years and learnt Bahasa Indonesian quickly. Now I am in a relationship with a Thai woman and wish to learn Thai,but am finding it a Hell of a lot trickier than Indonesian,as it's extremely tonal. Have you got any recommendations for certain language courses or books that make this particular problem easier? I understand that the best way to learn is to talk with native speakers,but am in the UK(a small town with no Thai's),and only spend about 4 months of the year in Thailand at the moment. Thank you

  14038. I understand why you had to film everything with the wide angle option. That looks cramped haha! Very nice to see how you live!
    2
  14039. I'd argue, that you need to be at least level B1 in at least 4 languages to be a polyglot. lol So if they ain't at least lvl B1, they aren't.
    2
  14040. Hi new subscriber here. Im amazed while you talking japanese. I hope someday I speak japanese like you. From Philippines here 🙂

  14043. Love the video interesting. How it was from before and how is changing? , but sad for the people who were there not Finding them permanent homes Having them scattered around And I remember Robin from the first video. I'm glad he's doing much better. I'm glad you keep on showing us the other side of Japan. That many people don't know about. All the best oriental pearl👍
    2
  14044. I feel you on this, since I've felt the same growing up in Japan as a foreigner. At some point, you'll get used to it and it won't even bother you at all.

  14049. Even if her New Zealand accent has been almost completely lost, you can't stop that old reliable of "pitching your voice up at the end of each sentence, when doing an explanation." Warms my heart that there's still a little bit of NZ left in her!

    2
  14053. You will always get people who will hate on you. Just like me and everyone else. I hope that you're ignoring the hate comments and focusing on the positive ones. Do not give your energy to them. You're beautiful, you found love, you're where you want to be and you're achieving more and that is something to envy. Keep up the good work, really.

  14064. Lmao anyone else noticed that she even changes her laugh to the respective laughing in language (if that makes sense)
    2
  14065. True polygots are pretty rare, you won't find many people who are fluent in multiple languages. Learning a business standard or fluency in a language is a whole other deal to basic and conversational levels. Youtube is like the movies a lot of the time and it's fine for entertainment but often skews reality for entertainment value. Learning some basic or conversational levels in a language and applying them with confidence looks good with some editing and I guess to the viewer the illusion of this amazing polygot who can speak to people in any language is fun viewing. The reality is probably nowhere near the case.

  14077. Japanese typically don’t realize that for cultures that values direct, open and honest communication, lack of communication actually has much more potential for damage. It is important to check the tendencies of the culture one is dealing with, using the scale provided. When dealing with more direct cultures, be proactive about communicating what is on your mind, even if it is something that you think the other person will not be happy hearing. When dealing with more indirect cultures, be careful to not overpower them, and create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable communicating.

  14078. great video<3

Most stuff ends up being handed to police, you just go to the nearest koban to where you lost something and maybe it'll be there or you can fill in a form to claim an item from their own holding center.

  14095. One thing I love about living in Tokyo is the assumption that I (as a caucasian, western, native English speaker) speak Japanese. Almost everywhere I go, people will speak to me in Japanese. I've heard a lot of westerners talk about how living in the countryside is the best for their Japanese, but from experience, the best Japanese speakers live in Tokyo. Of course there are always exceptions, but I think a lot of westerners in the countryside like to think that it's good for their Japanese, but it's not as good as they think. Also, because there are less westerners in the countryside, there are way less chances to compare your Japanese skills. You end up getting a false sense of being good at Japanese, but it's only because there are no other non-native-Japanese speakers around. Anyway, wherever you end up, use it to your advantage, because there are benefits to any situation.

  14096. いつも楽しみに見ています！中国語は全く分かりませんが、Oriental Pearl さんの動画を見たのがきっかけで中国語に興味を持ちました。中国語の学習は母国語で漢字を使っている日本人は有利と聞いたことがあります。しかし、Oriental Pearl さんが流暢に中国語を話しているのを見ると「継続は力なり」ということわざ（Japanese proverb）が強く心に感じました。おそらく最初から流暢に中国語を話していたのではなく、学習を始めた時はたくさんの困難を乗り越えてきたのではないかと私は思います。尊敬しています。 私は英語も苦手なので、あなたが伝えたいことは少ししか理解できないかもしれないけど今後も応援しています。つたない文章ですみません。

  14097. Maybe it rains for both of you to share umbrella... getting closer😊

  14098. I watch your videos but I’m learning ASL lol there is no correlation. But I love watching other language learners

  14100. I love your content

  14101. 1:51 that is so cringe that I love it xD

  14102. 你好 :) i love your videos and you just got a new subscriber
    2
  14103. There hasn't been anyone that can crack my conversations within my blood family on YouTube until now...we speak Taiwanese/Japanese/Chinese/English. You are most awesome 👍
    2
  14104. Learning to be fluent must be the goal but then also to fit into new community. I think it will only come when a person commits to a single place for a long time. It may change for you when you can graduate and put down roots. Thanks for your encouraging videos they really are inspirational.
    2
  14105. Personally, I'm bilingual (English & Hindi), and I don't want to learn another language. Time is really finite, and there's only so much you can pursue in this lifetime. I consider myself multi-talented, but I've had to give up many hobbies to be better at others, but I look at it this way. Variety gives diversity to my experiences. If I'm a little burned out with art, I have 10 other hobbies I can dabble with to change things up, like writing, guitar, game dev, sculpting, cooking, etc -- and that's a really valuable thing. Could you imagine eating the same food, with the same spices every day? I know many so called polyglots aren't masters at every language they try to learn, but I appreciate the variety. I also watch these channels for the reactions, because it reminds me that we're far more alike and human than our distinctions have us believe. I'm Canadian, but when I'm down in India it's so heartwarming to me to see foreigners try to speak my language / have a fondness for the culture, and I know in these polyglot channels the people reacting feel the same way. For me it's more about this pure human connection, then the technical competence of the speakers. All I'd say is be authentic, tell people how proficient you really are, if you do only speak a certain language to a point before stalling, just own it. Authenticity & self-awareness of the areas that need improvement is attractive. And the way I see it, if your heart is in the right place, ie: the hobby / language, rather than the views, many of you who are in your 20-30s will continue to develop your skills with time, provided you aren't complacent. Additionally, the views / comments isn't just encouraging to viewers, it's encouraging to the person learning them too. It's a symbiotic balance. I share my art, and I feed on the love I receive and channel it into my next piece of art. All that matters is that you are in love with the art, and the attention it gets you is secondary.

  14106. she is getting cute🤣

  14107. This channel is gonna blow up haha!
    2
  14108. Do you feel Japanese are more talkative and outgoing than Chinese?
    2
  14109. your videos are the best when u make Chinese speaking videos with native Chinese in japan, それ簡単じゃないし、独特な感じがする、it will be more interest if u do the same thing in china, speaking Japanese with Japanese natives in china、 u can find many culture 紹介動画 of Japanese culture or Chinese culture , so thats Little bit つまらない!!

  14110. I didn't mind the kids at most places, but I drew the line at the Hiroshima peace park, and they were everywhere there. Sensoji at sunrise, before the crowds came, was beautiful.

  14116. You probably know this already, but there's another immigration office in Tachikawa which is reputed to be a lot quiter than Shinagawa, and it certainly was for me. I was there last December - first visit to submit forms was one hour waiting, visa pickup visit a couple weeks later was just FIVE minutes in and out. Sure, it's not exactly next door, but nor is Shinagawa, and was well worth the extra travel.

  14117. You look like Sara Bareilles

  14118. One word that originated from Japan that the whole world use? Karaoke.
    2
  14119. Good reminders of this most critical aspect of language learning. At the end of the day, everyone has their own internal chatter. You can only live your own life. If we all go through life trying to please everyone, we can't find our own happiness. So it's good to be willing to make mistakes - but trying to do so with humility and kindness. If people can't see that - then - better to not befriend them anyway :-) 僕にとって、たくさん間違いことがあったんだけど、しょうがないね。こんな人生には一所懸命に生きたほうがいいでしょうね。。。笑。。。（この文章には見違ってしまったかなぁぁぁ）
    2
  14120. This is great lol, I hope they didn't come after you. My biggest issues with Chinese and Japanese (and why I like your videos because you speak my 2 focused languages) are actually speaking! My reading is pretty good (well Chinese anyways). I still, after 5 years, tend to translate Japanese readings by reading characters in Mandarin first and then translating to English and piecing it back into Japanese - which makes no sense and doesn't help linguistically, but does help with reading. Eventually I get irritated because Japanese messed up hanzi...enter Chinese nationalist frame of mind xD.... facepalm. BUT, I can't speak comfortably in either anymore at all being back in the US it just disappears (except when getting food and having people not understand in English and then ordering in Chinese lol). And writing I've probably forgotten because, typing. LOL I know damn well that I suck in both of them. You'd think being married to a Japanese would be beneficial with language, but no. He can speak English now, LOL, and my Japanese is in the toilet.

  14121. Congratulations 🎉

  14122. I dont think she is Polyglot. Just good in english, japanese and chinese from living there so long. I lived in China for 1 year and I couldnt wait to leave. I spoke mandarin and cantonese and english, so I guess Im a Polyglot too : )
    2
  14123. love your videos. always such a treat to see you interacting with people in social experiments. keep it up! 👍
    2
  14124. She looks like her mum and dad 😂 , like at the same time 😂. It’s cute . I like baby’s like this , like she couldn’t choose so she took from both sides 😂

  14125. 2:56 that's a cat apparently not a pig whoever see the mascot. Lol
    2
  14126. I think the type of reaction you were expecting would have happened if you had been speaking English, then switched to Japanese to talk to a bystander watching your conversation in English. If they can already see and hear you speaking Japanese, they are not going to be surprised.
    2
  14127. Omg I speak Chinese but I wanna learn japaneseee

  14128. I'm glad you gave him dinner... Nice touch

  14129. Beautiful, Anming!!! I just loved the scenery. 🤩
    2
  14130. Ive been learning for two weeks and while my speaking sucks, I’m happy that the way you speak is very clear and easy to understand. You’ve given me a lot of confidence in that I’m making progress. I hope to be in Japan in two years.
    2
  14131. it's so cool when you are in another country and you can understand what they are discussing about you😂
    2
  14132. Oh my gosh thank you for calling this out!! I've seen so many youtubers that say they're a polyglot but I just have that cringe moment that its not true 😅 This is why I won't ever say I'm fluent in Japanese 😅
    2
  14133. i want to learn japan but im a little bit confuse about watashi and boku in proper conversation

  14142. Well at least you can conviced them to get tax free in donki

  14143. I've managed to sleep through two earth tremors and actually experienced two others. Four in 60 years. Australia, like many parts of the world, does experience seismic activity. It's just not as powerful as the sort which affects other places like Japan and New Zealand. There was a 5.2 magnitude quake which affected Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia in 2010. And a 5.6 in Newcastle, New South Wales back in 1989. They're the most recent I can recall. So small beans compared to Christchurch (NZ).
    2
  14144. We had a 6.4 earthquake in december here in Croatia and we had a whole city destroyed while Japan handles 7.1 earthquake like its nothing, they should come renovate stuff here, their building skills are amazing😌

  14145. great video I like the KFC and the icecream I like eating kfc when I move to Japan will you be my friend just asking I subscribed to your channel :)

  14149. I love your life! Thank you for sharing 😀
    2
  14150. These channels are just trying to clickbait to get views. It is no different when you see a buff person in a Youtube video saying that anybody can get ripped abs in 30 days. When in reality the person on the video has spent many years working out and dieting.

  14151. 個性が全く正反対な２人・・・(*´▽｀*；)・・・面白い企画ですね。

  14159. 2:40 the way he says 面白い here has that rhotic 'R' which is a dead giveaway. I'm not saying he's not very skilled but that definitely sticks out.

  14160. Your accent is so amazing. Blows my mind everytime! Your content is so smooth and relaxing. Keep up the great work and watch this channel rapidly grow 👌🏻🔥

  14163. Always be aware of your things going through security in the airport. There have been many thefts by TSA workers in stealing belongings in the bins where you put your valuables like wallet, watch, etc. You ought to see if you could get footage from the airport to see if he left it in the bin or if someone picked it out of the bin...

  14164. One of my sisters went over and lived in China from 2010 to 2013. She,her husband, and daughter lived in Dalian to be there for his job. During that time they were able to travel over a large part of Asia. Most exciting of all, they were able to travel to my dad's and mom's home villages in Kaiping and Taishan. It was a great retrace of the family roots and history. Fortunately, it was a pretty good time to travel. There were no real world crises going on at the time. As for myself, I've mainly remained in the States and North America whereas travel is concerned. Very glad the visa issue worked out for you. Keep cranking out the great vids!

  14170. tnx buddy for sharing the beauties of japan. I've been to Tsukuba for one year. your videos remind me of those good days.

  14171. I use Pimsleur for Japanese and Spanish, and it is an amazing program.

  14172. 为什么不在哔哩哔哩建一个账户呢？
    2
  14173. I love your videos. You do a fantastic job explaining everything that goes on in the Japanese world as well as the Chinese world. Keep up the great work!
    2
  14174. I have never heard Japanese spoken with a Finnish accent. :) Quite interesting.
    2
  14175. I don't study Chinese but I really enjoyed this video. Reality is: you have to study 6 hours a day for 3 years to master most East Asian languages. Are you willing to do so, that's the question...
    2
  14176. Here in the UK I used to eat cow tongue sandwiches as a kid. You buy it from the butchers as a ready cooked cold meat. I haven’t had it for years, but it’s very nice with a strong English mustard.
    2
  14177. I travelled to Tokyo with no ability to speak anything but English to the locals and was welcomed by all that I came in touch with on the streets. The people of Tokyo were always very kind, friendly and went out there way to assist us. For example, my family and I must of been looking a little lost after arriving from the airport on a train and a group of people came over with one who spoke a bit of English and said, 'we will take you, follow' and so we did! They walked us 1km to our hotel. We had many good interactions like this. So friendly, so nice.
    2
  14178. Wow!! So beautiful! Nice video!
    2
  14179. Anming you really are a Chinese at heart.
    2
  14180. So sorry Drew about your diagnosis 😢.... I will send loads of prayers 💕 and good wishes 💕 to you.....

  14181. THATS SOME AUTHENTIC CHINESE RIGHT THERE. barely any accent at all.
    2
  14182. I was in Tianjin and ran into a hoard or tour agents. I took them up on it because they offered a room i couldn't get because of my visa. Tiananmen square Etrrnal city. Great wsll Olympics sites The scam was the buses all stopped at these stores that were like cattle shutes. You went back and forth past jade stuff. Foods and other must but stuff. Tere were about 5 of these before we got back to Tianjin. Only entertainment was the bus monitor fighting with one of the riders.
    2
  14183. Hey, OP. Say, have you put together a video on how you learned BOTH Chinese and Japanese? Would love to hear your story. Thanks.
    2
  14184. It's amazing how accurate the Yakuza game actually is. Thanks for the awesome video.

  14185. These are themed now! Tsukimi themed! I got my Sakuraco.

  14187. Lovely amazing one,
    2
  14188. You are amazing
    2
  14189. I really enjoy this video. I've seen both of your videos before. I came back to China 3 years ago and I was skeptical about it because I was in Guangzhou back in the early 90's. China then was just like what your father thinks. I enjoyed that trip so much that I returned to China again last year. And if wasn't for covid-19, I would be in China again in May this year. The quality of life in China is so much better now. It's even better than the US in some expects but at much more affordable. I think if Americans go there then will like China too.

  14190. If you speak 3 languages, you’re trilingual... if you speak 4 or more, you’re a polyglot

  14191. Watch japanese drama 😏

  14192. YOur subscribers base jump in the pass 2 month after you blew up in china, almost 50k subs.

  14193. This is amazing
    2
  14194. I was with a fluent speaker of Mandarin who was white. We were in the grocery store. An old couple in front of us were talking in Mardarin. The wife was griping about my friends nails and hair color. She then broke into fluent Mandarin and the old woman showed embarrassment. She heard the husband scold the wife and say "see. you should not gossip about other people. You can't judge a book by the cover."

  14199. I love the way that lady looked at your friend when you said "Recommendations?"
    2
  14200. I gotta learn from you to learn English. But I am a Chinese dude in China, so I don’t have that exposure environment, which really impedes my learning
    2
  14201. i love the part of their culture where you take things with two hands when you receive things! this video was so wholesome i’ll probably binge your channel soon HAHA
    2
  14202. I can guess how many boyfriend you had by knowing how many languages you know..😄👍✌
    2
  14203. You have beautiful hair! Do they have earwax removal kits available in Japan?
    2
  14204. One of my seniors from my uni always jokes whenever he goes to Japan. He would pretend that he’s a tourist that doesn’t understand Japanese and then suddenLy speak Japanese.

  14205. i learn japanese language just for watch anime without sub

  14206. this is awesome i did not notice the disability at first but i am glad she is able to do what she loves with the band she is unapologetically herself at all times and she is so nice and that is awesome i'm glad to have found you both and wish yall the best
    2
  14207. yeah this is perfectly true.
    2
  14208. This is refreshing content! Haven’t been in Japan in 11 years. There definitely weren’t tents in the city then, but Japan definitely puts up a big facade. I loved it though and plan on going back soon, even dreamed of living there, but the country is obviously facing difficulties like the rest of us. I learned about some of the aspects that contribute to it’s current economic distress, thanks.
    2
  14209. Omg how adorable was your fiance as a little boy?? So cuuute! So interesting to see the Japanese new year celebration. Thanks for taking us with you. Your in laws seem really sweet!

  14210. Yeaaaaah 🇫🇷✌🏻✌🏻
    2
  14211. Y’all keep doing what you’re doing! I’ve watched both of your channels and I always love the content you both post!

  14212. Un-tethered and liberated from teaching! This channel's gonna get crazy! XD Hope to see some new great content from ya. Cheers!
    2
  14213. Very cool vid. Your shooting and editing are absolutely improving. I am really enjoying seeing the growth of your channel. MUCH deserved.
    2
  14214. The fighting on Guam in 1944 was even scarier. US troops had to blast every bunker, cave and pillbox in order to clear out the Japanese defending them. They paid a heavy price in blood.
    2
  14215. The only better videos than these videos are kitten/cat vids.
    2
  14216. How much did language school cost when you learnt Japanese. I really want to learn Japanese in Japan but the costs are so high. Keep up the great work Anming! Love from the UK
    2
  14217. I love these very wholesome
    2
  14218. Another fun video, Anming. It must be fun as a western person to be so fluent in the Japanese language, especially in rural areas where English is less common. Great job (and look at you, almost 100K subscribers)!
    2
  14219. Just found you, amazing. You have a new sub.. thank you

  14223. dang your so fluent i like laoshu but you know so many words and your conversations are way more interesting some of his convos are so basic but not yours lol maybe cause he know too many languages lol
    2
  14224. Your language skills are amazing. You are an inspiration, we should all learn another language. I just spent a year teaching in China, and the limited Chinese I used got instant reactions. I never understood why, I would value your opinion next time you do a video.
    2
  14225. It is so cool be able to see these scenarios. Thank you for uploading this!
    2
  14226. I think....that, white people speaking Chinese on YouTube is the new ASMR. Its oddly satisfying. 🤷‍♂️
    2
  14227. Congrats on the 1 million subscribers, well deserving and love watching your videos.

  14228. While there may not be many Americans on Fudan University campus these days, thousands of Americans and other foreigners have studied at Fudan University over the last 40 years, including me.

    2
  14233. You look like a russian lol. Omg they say this everytime lol
    2
  14234. This video was really one of your best; sharing your experiences, but simulatneously teaching culture and language as you went! It's just as much fun as the "surprising people with my language skills" but DEEPER than those since we happy viewers learn more. Educational, not just entertaining! Thanks always for the vids, don't worry about uploading too often or "too short" or "not edited well".. we're all appreciating your experiences vicariously! [BTW, this from an American living in Tokyo too.. it's still a fun vicarious experience!]
    2
  14235. Soooo awesome! I am learning Japanese myself, and I love watching your vids! Keep it up = )
    2
  14236. Great video! Life is truly amazing!

  14237. You went back to the place where Lisa 13 stood (from the other video) & looked for her? 😁
    2
  14238. so, is the rest of japan is as expensive as tokyo?
    2
  14239. I also met my fiancé through HelloTalk! Literally changed my life 😍
    2
  14240. Wow to be half as fluent as you would be dreams fulfilled. Awesome.
    2
  14241. These memories last a lifetime I lived in Japan from 2005-2010 and still remember when my mother came to visit me! I had a house in ebina close to Atsugi at the time and she stayed at my house. So many memories
    2
  14242. Yes, there's a lot of polyglot channels.. it seems the super popular ones, they speak many languages but really they don't know these languages at all, they learn phrases, have poor pronounciation and try and force the conversation to stay within the phrases they know. There's also some others that might for example be fluent in mandarin, and they make great videos of interacting with people but it gets repeatitive after a while, at least for me. It's been great to watch yours where you're not only conversing with people, but also showing snippets of life, sometimes get analytical and you're always down to earth.
    2
  14243. I wish I could borrow your brain for a day. I would love to show off your language speaking ability and just blow everyone away. To see the locals absolutely flabbergasted when you are effortlessly carrying on conversations in whatever language you so desire has to be like the ultimate adrenaline high.

  14244. Sorry, I couldn't subscribe after watching this video ... because I was already subscribed! 😂😂

  14245. If you are a person who gets worked up over these videos, you really need to stop going out of your way to make up reasons to get mad about.
    2
  14246. How beautiful is Japan. I was amazed by this tree behind you at the beginning of the video. By the way do you think that it's easier to learn japanese if you have basic understanding of Chinese?

  14247. wow I always wanted to learn asian languages

  14253. That doorbell, I'm sorry that was NOT what I was expecting. Chuck is awesome. P.S. did you hear Wisconsin tried to claim itself as the "mitten state?" Really?
    2
  14254. It’s nice to see him get all excited as he’s experiencing a complete opposite culture to his. Almost like he’s hopping up and down and running just like a kid! :)
    2
  14255. The following is a bit odd. Who knows though? Also curse those dreaded puddles!
    2
  14256. Sounds like what I've been through, @OrientalPearl, as I am a full-blooded Native American, that loves Japanese culture/people/history, and growing up, I did have an "Asian" look to me, as many people thought I was from China or Japan...lol Of course, I still understand my own unique culture, but I just happen to like things Japanese since I was 7 years old, as I am now in my 50s. :-) Still, love the video from the best "spies" around...hahaha!! ;-)

  14257. Como sempre ótimos vídeos parabéns! 😘❤️

  14266. are people in the US able to travel to Japan now?

  14267. Another cool video, keep them coming. You're being modest. You would be considered pretty in America, or anywhere.
    2
  14268. This was so heartwarming. It truly made me tear up ❤ You are so kind and brought so much happiness to these young ladies 🤗

  14269. Love your videos from India 🇮🇳 😎😎😎😎😎😀😀😀🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

  14270. 日本語より、中国語の方がうまいですね。中文比日文好的多啊！
    2
  14271. I honestly lol at Tommys reactions! That had to be a culture shock for him. He looked like he had a great time. 👍
    2
  14272. Thank you for this video. We are currently travelling Japan and we actually questioned ourselves about poverty here in Japan, but we didn't know about this specific place.
    2
  14273. I’m glad you ventured into the unknown while visiting. Sorry you were sick before your vacation. Guam does have a lot ofJapanese tourist in that area as that is where the majority of the hotels are. There are military bases but you won’t find a large number of the military personnel in the area you were.
    2
  14274. "i would poke myself and die" lol you're so funny!
    2
  14275. Lets be honest, the real reason most of these guys do these reaction vídeos is because they know they will here the same thing over and over again. I’ve noticed that once they get past the same old bs questions like where are you from, how long you learn, how you learn, they hit a brick wall and I mean they hit it hard because that’s when memorization can’t help. I’ve seen that Frankie light guy tell the world he fluent and I’m listening to his Chinese and I’m like is it just me or does his Chinese suck and the sad thing is YouTube has no kind of community in place to prevent people from believing these people nonsense. I really feel like it should be a language community who views these videos and lets the audience know like uhhhh I don’t know who told him he fluent but he definitely isn’t fluent as a matter fact this person isn’t even on a second grade reading level
    2
  14276. So , that's where all the hot american women went .

  14277. When Tommy visits the USA he will love it there. It will be a great adventure for your honeymoon.

  14278. What is the name of Katie's YouTube channel? My mom is haafu. I cannot tell you how much I loved the video with the girls in traditional kimono doing Black American dances. That was 🔥🔥

  14281. Had a chance to be an exchange student in Italy for a semester after studying Italian at the University of Texas for two years. Still kicking myself for not doing that. :(
    2
  14282. I'm always amazed at how you speak without any hesitations! Amazing! That music was scary during the slo-mo scenes!!
    2
  14283. Wow, this was a very interesting video to watch. Thank you for sharing your story, Katie.
    2
  14284. You know many languages wow

  14285. Great editing, and photography. Loved the way you switch from one language to another. What I like to read about; a pretty women with swords! 👏. (Sigh. That’s so?🥺) Fantasy fan here.

  14286. Nice.. please take a good care of yourself always lovely..♥️♥️

  14287. being able to speak multiple languages look so fun omg
    2
  14288. I used to be blown away also by some of these people, until I started learning some languages. I have to admit I've started learning and dropped some languages, so I'm not fluent in any particular one of those, but I'm focusing on Russian and I do plan on reaching fluency. That insight, however, of me learning some things on these other languages made me realize that they didn't know much, yet they claimed to be fluent and it was disappointing in a way. I do plan on reaching fluency in the languages I'm interested in, but it takes time. One time I recognized some words in a language and a friend told me "wow! you're a polyglot!" Oh, no no no no no, I'll never say I know how to speak a language unless I can actually speak it without problem

  14289. you guys were married, on my birthday

  14290. First, the Guru issue aside, let's debunk the myth that native speakers are perfect in their language. They aren't. Not unless they are top-tier linguists or professors or editors of language with very deep experience. Even then (and I'll stick to English as that's my native language), currently on national radio and television and all levels of print media shocking errors are constant. That used to be uncommon, not anymore. Subject verb agreement, pronoun agreement, basic usage (less/fewer, number/amount) misappropriation of words (using surreal when the speaker means unreal), the list of errors goes on. Second, in a conversation with an esteemed linguist who received the Order of the Rising Sun from the Emperor of Japan (the highest honour a non-Japanese can receive), he made the following research-based point. A person's success in language acquisition is determined by these TWO elements: motivation to study and the opportunity to use the language--i.e. practice. That's it. As in the acquisition of any skill, there are those with more innate ability than others. If language learners can ACCEPT that perfection is impossible and focus on their ability to communicate, they'll be much happier with whatever skill level they acquire. I would also suggest that it's helpful if students can find a teacher who can adapt language learning to their needs and their learning styles. Frankly, I wasted $300 as well as the price of a textbook on a Japanese teacher who was unable to teach me a useful phrases that I could memorize prior to a trip to Japan. Without a textbook and a page to be on, she could not teach. I also tried Pimsleur (another $300) which I found useful in training my ear to pronunciation, but limiting. That offered no overview of the content and I was subjected to all sorts of useless stuff to learn. For example: Lesson 3 (before learning how to state my name or ask the other person's name) essentially focused on a pick up line--asking the other person to have a drink with me at my place or hotel. Nice. Another lesson was filling up with gas and which road to take to Yokohama when obviously, I would be making that journey by train. All in all, I found much better content on YouTube. However, the pacing left something to be desired and my motivation fell off fast. But I would play the loops while I took a shower or did household chores. Then again, I had no need to read or write the language. I merely needed some basic elements by which to observe some niceties at the most basic level. And that was most helpful. I could communicate and engage in very basic exchanges as I went out and about. It made my travels and later my short periods studying ikebana in Tokyo much richer.

  14291. Oriental Pearl 很讚餒！
    2
  14292.  @OrientalPearl  He does like to push his luck,particularly in Latin America where he's going to some remote places and being told to leave by men who look very much like cartel thugs and then tries to sneak around anyway. I don't know how he gets away with some stuff.

  14293. I am a subscriber of bank n bankrupt channel too. And yes you two do have something in common. No annoying longwinding intro’s for me to skip.
    2
  14294. I follow a bunch of YouTube channels where foreigners are speaking Chinese and interact with Chinese people and I think all of you are great! I'm learning Chinese myself now and you're an inspiration, 厉害!

  14295. If you like Bald, you will also like "Harald Baldr ". They were together a fiew times already in india, and other countries. That guy is great, with a BIG heart !

  14297. Hello, saw this video 14 hours ago though. I love you and the inspiration you give to all of us!♥️ A wave of young people will go to China and Japan inspired by you in just a few years, and all thanks to you. (I include myself) Thank uuuu!⭐

  14298. Here in Arizona we eat Chinese food prepared by Mexican immigrants and Mexican food made by Chinese immigrants. We also eat Subway Sandwiches made by Indian immigrants. Unless you happen to be from the countries that those foods originated in you generally can't tell the difference no matter who prepares the food.

  14299. To be honest,your chiese is perfect!

  14301. It does indeed take a lot of time! I have more time than I use to study and am always angry at myself for it. But we need breaks too, I guess x)How did you find the time to study 6h a day and what did you usually do in those 6h? :)

  14305. It's scarily quiet for Shinagawa station....It'll probably be a while before things get back to normal, the major entertainment hubs in central Tokyo are empty right now because a lot of stuff closed and there aren't many tourist attractions. My local shopping street is usually busy on weekends but it's pretty much busy daily now as people are shopping more locally. It's certainly less strict than it was getting in England before we were actually able to catch a flight. Know what you mean about burdening family lol, we ended up having to extend a stay for another few weeks and I think my parents were sick of us. Candy is popular lately, everyone is getting through it with comfort food. You're a lot like my wife when it comes to getting distracted by dango stands lol. Seeing the immigration office gave me terrible flashbacks of having to renew my visa every year, it actually used to be worse than it is now from what I remember for wait times (not including now!). I did actually meet one of my best non Japanese friends in Japan while doing that though while laughing about how miserable the experience of renewing is. Even the building itself looks super depressing.

  14312. Thank so very much for sharing the fun. I agree, a single person rickshaw ride does seem so lonely. You could not have picked a better companion for the tour. The interview was interesting. It's always good to learn about the rest of the world! Loved the video. Again, thank you for sharing!

  14319. I love your videos its so wholesome n beautiful to see people of different backgrounds speaking the same language having a genuine good time melts my heart whats best way to learn both Japanese and manderin?
    2
  14320. i don't need to be in japan to self loathe myself about my own looks. It's my dream to visit japan and i know how different the beauty standards are and i know how self conscious i am. I fear that going to japan would take a toll on my mental health for being judged, all the times, even as a tourist.
    2
  14321. Great video. She is such a lovely person.
    2
  14322. I want to learn Japanese so bad cause its hard to watch anime with subtitle (Ofcourse I hate Dub ver.)
    2
  14323. I mean, if walking around with an action cam on a handheld gimbal doesn't give it away... lol This is great!
    2
  14324. that girl is too freaking beautiful
    2
  14325. First, Bravo for getting out and learn a different culture. It's the same path I took, except in the opposite direction. LOL. Second, English teachers don't make much in China comparing to a regular job in the U.S. The agency takes most of it. Third, Fish & Chips in England is pretty underwhelming.
    2
  14326. That boy is like me when i was 5😂😂🤣🤣Back in the days English was the wholesomeness 4 learning but now more prefering Mandarin learning than English because of strong China presence in my country🤭🤭👻👻International companies was still non-existent in my city unless i cross over Singapore to hunt which i wont...my 10 years experience has always been the local chinese (not china) companies and i will say its culture still not my cup of tea hahahaha i am western mindset due 2 my strong English mastery
    2
  14327. My heart broke when he had to leave without you! My dad worked in other countries growing up and I remember the good byes and tears between my parents. Such a sacrifice when he did leave for work. He took us to live In Malaysia but other places were more short term (under 6months) but I would of loved to experience the world more. It is my heart to always embrace Asians. I have made a decision to learn some Chinese so when I visit places I can at least greet others in their language and hopefully learn more after that. Our family has a love for the owners of a Chinese restaurant in our town and have down some seafood business with them and it really opened the door to knowing them more personally. Such beautiful people just like you and yours! ❤
    2
  14328. You have totally embraced Japanese culture and the language. My wife is British and embracing your spouses culture is paramount to being accepted by the family in my opinion. Even with the British, learning some of the lingo helped.

  14329. I subscribed only for Tommy
    2
  14330. Anming new subscriber,you are a wonderful person with a great personality. You have very good presents on your videos, You are very intelligent speaking the languages. Always Best wishes to you! I have a suggested song for your channel it is called """ My Pearl""" by a group called "" Automatic Man"" please look it up on YouTube.well Goodbye for now Drohegda!
    2
  14331. This was probably your best video
    2
  14332. Which country do you prefer more between the two? Have you visited S. Korea or Taiwan ?
    2
  14333. Anming.... please do NOT get discouraged! Now, is not the time for that. :) I literally, accidentally, found you. And I can promise you others will do the same! I am older, by a LOT, insert severe eye roll and your videos are such a mixture of awesome. No two videos are exactly the same-of the same format which is like a breath of fresh air! And when I say I found you by accident? I truly did. I have always wanted to learn another language. So began checking out different videos. I even started with one on polyglots-I didn't even 'know' what a polyglot was-eye roll again THAT video sent me to videos of pranksters... the Black guy pranks people with many different languages. And, White guy pranks people with Chinese. And ... then... I saw you. I have watched at least 10 of your videos in one sitting. At. least. You are a mixture of so many emotions and characteristics that that side bar over there-----> is like a menu feeding the soul. Not being dramatic here just honest. I mean it's like okay which video do I want to see next? Pranks? Real life? Room mates? Something serious? Or.... something light? See what I mean yet? So don't sell yourself short or give up. There are a TON of people out there that will see your videos, just give them some time to find you. Now, I am getting the 'Recommended for you" option! How cool is THAT?! Kudos kiddo~because you rock. (I told ya I was old~er) :P

  14336. Your Chinese and Japanese are so point. 🔥 fk those crybabies. Gd damn whiners. I've actually had a great time watching yall Xioma and Chris I forgot his Chinese name. And the black guy who passed
    2
  14337. 嗯，我家孩子怼我的英语口音时，我常常回怼，比你的中文强。 其实，还是羡慕有语言天赋的人。你的中文比我的英语强多了，不光口音，连笑法都学的很象。 我中学自修，大学选修日语，结果也就是能读本专业的浅显出版物，不能写，不能读。 这几年用Pimsleur，果然很快就会说了，可是还是不大听得懂。影视或者视频上，大家都不照书上那么讲，你怎么能都听懂呢?
    2
  14338. 日本語、上手！
    2
  14339. Debate is a stroooong, word. I mean you are talking to people and making a video about it. I can see that it could be done wrong, but your videos in particular is all in good fun, people love talking especially given the chance to talk to extra ordinary people.
    2
  14340. You brought not only joy and amusement to the people you encountered, but also your viewers! Well done, Anming!
    2
  14341. @4:50 was interesting. Did you notice about 97% of people are wearing only black & white. A cool video would be to walk though a place like that wearing the brightest colored (but tasteful) clothing you can find. Then talk to people.
    2
  14342. I can speak german thai english and French. I'm learning korean , chinese and Japanese now
    2
  14343. Love your utube channel. I am from Hawaii and we have alot of Japanese tourists visiting our hawaiian island, we also have alot of Japanese living in Hawaii and alot of good Japanese food and culture. I always wanted to visit Japan, this is my dream to visit some day. I wish I knew how to speak the Japanese language like you. How can I learn, any suggestions. Thank you for sharing. Aloha.
    2
  14344. I look forward so much to watching your videos. I'm so happy I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work!

  14353. Extrañaba ver tus videos! Esta vez no me permitía poner los subtítulos en español, pero con los subtítulos en inglés que agregaste fue suficiente :)

  14354. What country are you a citizen of? Just curious Stay safe, we love you

  14355. awesome
    2
  14356. Any recommendations on how we can learn to speak Chinese? 🙏🏻
    2
  14357. I see where you're coming from, but I kind of disagree. Sure, many of these people aren't polyglots but I wouldn't assume that all these people have the same goals for language learning. I personally speak 4 languages to a high level, that was partially possible to me due to life circumstances (living in several countries etc.) but also a lot of effort on my part. The other thing is that you have learnt two of the hardest languages for english speakers, whereas for instance I know three romance languages and each language becomes easier to learn the more related languages you know. I don't speak portugese, but I can read it with about 85/90% accuracy due to its similarities to other languages and I can understand pretty well spoken Catalan simply due to my Spanish/French (but in this case mostly the Italian). I'm european so when I travel I have a real need to speak the very basics of different languages in order to be understood. I speak 4 languages very well but I can scrape by in a further 3/4 with some basic phrases/introductions etc. I don't want to be fluent in these languages, I just want to be able to say some basics in order to be respectful in these countries. Not everyone wants to be fluent, sometimes they just want to be able to communicate with people on a different level than would otherwise be possible
    2
  14358. Your accent while speaking japanese is cute haha
    2
  14359. She’s a cutie
    2
  14360. Oh to be a foreigner in japan..... 💫
    2
  14361. this so true, i definitively needed to hear this. i thought that i was really good at learning languages but when i actually began trying to get really fluent and wasn’t doing it as quickly as these youtubers, i got really discouraged because i thought they were so fluent, but now that i think about it, i spent 7 years learning spanish in school without making much of an effort and don’t claim to know it at all, but i can still see and point out misalignment with the subtitles and see how unnatural their speaking, in every phrase that some of these people who claim to have reached a somewhat good level really quickly, say 😕
    2
  14362. hi ! anming how are you. you are great to speaking japanese 😊
    2
  14363. Oriental Pearl i practiced kungfu because my high school in arab country was all males and i was not the guy who love violence or a a guy who have so powerful character but i can tell you i am so romantic kind of guy but my high school was close to bad people so i had to practice tai chi and wing chun but anyway violence is not my thing if it was up for me i would have choose karate wife girl instead of i practiced it 😂😂anyway i am happy to be civilized 😇😇😇
    2
  14364. You're amazing speaking 3 languages. I've been to Japan 10 times and only know simple vocabularies. Keep up the good vlogs!
    2
  14365. These videos are always fun! :)

  14366. He seems like a really chill guy to hang out with💜. Growing up with a Japanese grandfather I was judged by him for not being tiny. Not tiny enough in my body, feet and even height. He always made comments and would say things like "You big like your dad". (I wasn't even that big..just not Japanese tiny) He would have to make it clear my size must come from my American dad and not from my moms Japanese side. When I was pregnant it was so so bad. He was old and would forget I was pregnant..and say "oh you so fat now!". It was not easy..and the Japanese seem to be outspoken about size.....especially to family they feel is shaming them by how they look. I don't envy what he has to face submerged in Japan. 😥Even the toughest person can still get worn down by insults. 👍

  14367. I had enough..I’m subscribing

  14375. I am going to write something here. There aren’t any fake polyglots. Those polyglots who claim they speak 5-10 languages, and don’t speak at all those languages, they lie to themselves. If I tell you “ I am rich” and I am not as rich as a say, I lie to myself.

  14378. @1:16 “What does ‘Sam’ mean in English? It means【Sam】.” Samuel is the Anglicized name transliterated from the original Hebrew name Shemuel 【שְׁמוּאֵל】. Like most Biblical Hebrew names it is theophoric. This means that one of the names of GOD makes up a portion of the name. In this case it translates as “Heard by GOD”, “HIS name is EL”, or simply “Name of GOD”. Warn Sam to not make any vain jokes about GOD’s name when he hears about this. It’s one of the 10 Commandments.

  14381. I live in Germany and I really need a bicycle right now. But like here in Germany I can’t afford a bicycle at the moment cuz it’s to expensive.. So it would be great if China would get me one for free 😂 there are really so many of them crazy 😧 But girl you rock! I like your videos very much 🤗 keep doing them ❤️

  14384. Well, the room in Tokyo is better than a US Navy Ship. For three years on 6 month to 11 month deployments all I had was a bed and a locker in a berthing compartment with 100 other guys. This is temporary, and you have a bright future ahead. Not sure why I saw this video so late! 頑張ってね！　その家は大学生ばかり泊まっていますか。　外から普通家を見えるね。

  14390. It’s good to show this side of Japan. But it’s also important to note this is a very minuscule part of Japan. The number of homeless is less than 4000. That’s out of a population of around 125,000,000. To put that into perspective, in the USA there are around 582,000 homeless in a population of about 331,000,000. Of course the biggest factors are culture and the physical size of the country. I’m not minimizing the struggles of people who are homeless, but Japan really takes care of their people compared to all countries in the world. I wanted to add that the quality of homelessness in Japan is also incredibly different from other countries. Not that it’s a great time as it’s still terrible, but that’s also something to consider.

  14393. i agree with you about learning new languages. Speak it and learn from your mistakes. That is how we make improvement on our language skills.
    2
  14394. This is my first time seeing your videos and I really enjoyed it!! You and your friend seem so positive and happy, such a fun connection and vibe you got going on. I hope she has a YouTube too because she seems really fun! Anyway, keep up the awesome work, you got yourself a new subscriber! ❤️

  14395. I love East Idaho News, too.💖

  14396. i'm brazilian and growing up I've learned a little bit of english in a very natural way, so as i got older and started to have interest in learning japanese it was very frustrating because it's so difficult, i'm still suck in reading hiragana and katakana now but i hope I'll find the motivation to take it serious this time.
    2
  14397. It is the same in Chinese. The BETTER you are, the less they compliment you. When NO ONE compliments you, that's when you know you've gotten good.
    2
  14398. Can’t wait always great to see a vid release from you. From Las Vegas

  14399. I love that you speak mandarin and Japanese. Both are languages I would love to be fluent in also. But unfortunately at the moment I can only one language at a time, starting off with Chinese.
    2
  14400. As a persian who speaks farsi I can tell you I've never seen any youtuber speak farsi fluetly ,It's so easy to memorize a paragraph to say it in front of the camera

  14401. You amaze us Pearl! You are are having the life! Language and travel. What a gift!
    2
  14402. Have you ever got people saying DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS? ya bad idea right, well how do people meet and start dating, best of of all I ask these people, how you meet your husband or wife, pre arranged marriage? Making friends is easy even if you don't have anything in common, its about First contact and first impression, it doesn't cost you anything but is a lifetime of enjoyment. Best of all you now have a story to tell.
    2
  14403. Japan strikes me as a country where you can do anything you want as long as it doesn’t distress the harmony of people around you, and the challenge comes in knowing exactly what distresses people.

  14404. Congratulations on everything from your new home and the million!!!! Can’t wait to see even more growth form you 🫶🫶

  14411. Do you speak any German too?
    2
  14412. I agree with you! All the various times I lived in Tokyo I always had super great experiences! I do speak some nihongo which might have helped but I think as long as one is friendly it is a great place.
    2
  14413. nice legs those guys have :D

  14414. One have to smile while watching your videos! :)
    2
  14415. Great video! Thank you for sharing it with us! Everybody in the comment seem to worry about the mask. Who needs a mask when you are protected by everybody else wearing their masks? As for that old woman, maybe she thought you are a Russian spy disguising as an American lol. I am kidding. It is not far-fetched that she might be a secret agent. An old woman is the least suspected by the people spied on. We cannot know for sure but it might be a possibility especially that you speak fluently. Either way, it should not worry you as long as you are in safe environment. But a degree of caution is always recommendable. If the people who followed you are spies, you can easily figure them out. They would try to gather information about what you are doing and what ideas you are sharing and then, they would leave. It is very unlikely that someone in Japan would stalk you with a malicious intent because nobody have anything against you. Those are some of my speculations but you are the one who is aware from first hand experience of what is going on there.

  14416. she looks like a model<3

  14417. Sarcasm is one thing that Japanese don't get as I remember it from one of Chris Abroad videos when Chris said it so. And joking at your friend's expense. Probably a cultural thing. Greetings from Europe 🙋 All best to you 👍

  14420. 7:00 “our American friend’s Chinese is even more fluent that is Chinese people.” That’s so so cute, they met you just a bit ago and are calling you their friend. Love that.

  14421. Today at the park a little Muslim girl showed me her cartwheel, she then asked me if I can cartwheel. I replied, “I can try” as I proceed to do a somewhat cartwheel . Then she told me im too fat :’)

  14422. Your mandarin is impressive...I’m Chinese and can’t speak Mandarin. Just Cantonese. Go Wolverines! Go Blue!
    2
  14423. you are awesome for making this video. true for you is what you observe. you are not afraid to say what you observe. good for you. good for your choice of who is a friend and who is not. it is important to have the right people around you. the connection with the wrong people makes you sick, makes you feel stupid, and leads to making mistakes and even worse things. thus it is good to speak the language of your environment to find out ahead of time who you are dealing with before you are being hit with the problems and ups and downs the wrong people create for you.
    2
  14424. That is a classic coke bottle dated from the very beginning. Live in Michigan since 1969 when I was eighteen. Watching your videos make me feel like to live in Asia again. Someday you’ll be like me wanting to go back to your roots.
    2
  14425. I think your videos are amazing! They really have me developing a true interest in visiting Japan and China whenever all this craziness is over. I've always been interested in learning to speak another language, and have always been impressed with people that are fluent in multiple languages. Keep up the great work. Dont pay any attention to any of the negative trolls out there. There's always going to be haters.
    2
  14426. Great content. Thanks for this eye-opening video. Appreciate seeing all aspects of Japan.
    2
  14427. Soooooooooooooooooooooo who we talkin' bout?
    2
  14428. Also, your friend is being naughty. Like you can't learn to read chinese characters starting without learning about 'radicals'; the simpler parts from which complicated characters are built. So my guess is that you can't learn Finnish without learning the simple words from which complicated words are built.
    2
  14429. The buildings in japan are strong compared to the other nation.

  14430. Can't stop watching your videos...they are educational, entertaining and happy. study is made exciting! To make it in this world one must study. You are such a good example in all aspects of life. You did study a lot and are knowledgable in many areas and are surviving happy and well. I need to mention this: Thanks to you I found bald and bankrupt's videos. He is like you, such a lovable, productive, enthusiastic and electrifying person providing a sound message. I just watched his latest video now. Check it out, he has a serious message. We need to take care of each other in these difficult times and observe certain precautions to stay healthy. Check out: How to Keep Yourself & Others Well, a yellow booklet that provides precautious actions to stay well. For you, for all of us to study to stay well. it is translated into 21 Languages including Chinese and Japanese. (including Irish :) )

  14436. Very impressive! Which languages do you speak?
    2
  14437. Absolutely love your videos! Thank you for the explanations about cultural norms and when to use them. I want to move to Japan and teach English there once I graduate University. As someone who wants to learn many languages, you are inspiring. 😁
    2
  14438. Wow now i wanna learn and go there 😭
    2
  14439. 😮The same happens in the Spanish teaching niche. So many people who can hardly even speak Spanish are now selling courses and famteaching incorrect pronunciation and grammar. A student was asking people how many anuses do you have, instead if how old are you. He d been learning from a self proclaimed Spanish guru who had recently spent a month in Mexico. Unfortunately these unqualified teachers get promted the most. Thank you for introducing us to this professor. I'm going to follow him 😊😊

  14444. I love this video so much~ >< I have been a subscriber of your channel for only a short period of time but you have inspired me so much to learn Chinese language and the Chinese culture! You are so relatable. I studied in the U.S. for 5 years for college/high school and I can 100% testify that doing academic works in your target language requires a completely different skill sets from interacting with some random strangers in front a camera. After going to college, I actually realized that the skills that I have acquired from studying in-depth in another language can be applied to improving my writing in Japanese too (although I have been speaking/writing it my whole life lol), and now I feel like I am so much better at communicating with others in general, which I believe can be so important in one's life. これからも頑張ってください〜

  14450. Great video! Thanks for creating it and giving us that inside look! 🙂
    2
  14451. I appreciate what you are discussing. I think though that you have to remember everyone doesn't learn the same way. At the end of the day, it's great that people are encouraging others to LEARN other languages. You just have to find the best way that fits your learning curve! Thanks for your channel!
    2
  14452. 你突破盲點了..中國人吃東西盤子都要留下最後一個..這好像是一種不成文的假性禮貌!還有你有聽過請中國人分享東西或幫忙要禮貌性的問三次的不成文規定嗎? 不知道你們外國人剛開始是怎麼看待這些現象的? 呵!

  14453. ooohhhh be safe. We love you. Life is unpredictable, but this is not only earth-shaking but nerve shaking as well lol
    2
  14454. Why am I not surprised when the guy admitted he doesn't speak other languages. Theres such a lot of anti intellectualism going on. "Why would you want to learn another language" kind of mentality is strong here in the states. People get offended if you want to learn another language, especially if isn't not a "white language". I get asked fairly often why I'm learning japanese? Usually in an interested way but somethines like "if it's not for you job why woukd younwant to?" Kind of thing. It's frustrating.
    2
  14455. Is it your new spot Yokohama with Chinese Community.. lol
    2
  14456. The bubble tea shopkeeper actually caught me by surprise. I recognised her Shanghai accent as soon as she speaks Chinese. To be honest, I was born in Shanghai and I grew up in Shanghai, but I never really realise that Shanghainese also has some sort of accent. But when I heard her voice it kinda recalls my memory. I am studying in Singapore and I haven’t went back home for around 9 months (due to COVID situation and the upcoming graduation exam). Her voice actually made me homesick. Now I really miss my parents at home, miss the taste of meat moon cake (some how I just cannot find any in Singapore). Well hope the COVID can end quickly, everyone I know or not know can stay safe and finally hope myself that I can get a good score for a great university.

  14457. Yoooo I love Japan I always to go there I like the blossom trees and all of the stuff they make there ❤️❤️

  14458. Unlike some of the less fortunate people in this video your videos have found a lovely home in our hearts.
    2
  14459. Well, thanks for this. I've been suffering severe withdrawal with no Anming video's for over a month. Your Instagram's kept the shakes to a minimum thankfully. Despite the rain it looked like you were enjoying life in rural Japan. As your video's show it is pretty damn picturesque. I don't do the notification thing, cause I like to find your video like a present instead of a wake up alarm. I do think it was funny that as this video was dropping, I was thinking I should ask Anming why no Oriental Pearl video's via Instagram, but then my brain went, she doesn't owe me anything, so I'll wait for a while. Did a little benkyo shimasu and happy dance this video was available to view. I enjoyed this.
    2
  14460. I can so understand as an introvert, you learn to blend in, not to stand out but I guess you are a bit of a rarity and I think you just make people happy when they find out you can speak their language so well. I have watched some other channels too, I have noticed that especially with the Chinese when you speak their language instead of English you see a whole different side to them. Your videos are so wholesome, I love the conversations and not only just for the amusing shock reactions.
    2
  14461. Wow that guy built that himself? I'm blown away at the detail. It made so many people happy too!

    2
  14469. FIRST!!! Love videos!!
    2
  14470. I don't usually care too much for dance (more like I haven't looked into it), but there's something about the way your friend moves... I'm not talking about her looks, but her actual movement. I can't explain it. That, and the environment and casual atmosphere I think is what makes it so great. It feels natural, but again, I can't explain it. Your friend has a great vision and you and her are a great combination of culture and authenticity.

  14471. Very happy for you!

  14479. Heartbreaking for sure!

  14480. I'm already trying to learn Spanish because of my heritage, but I can't Imagine how my mind would feel trying to learn Japanese, Like Bruuuuhhh that's Hard😩 Also, If you learned Japanese after already knowing English, please Elaborate on what it took for you to finally Understand and come on of your shell to talk to others that speck Japanese?? (Just wondering..😗)

  14487. Beside English, how many languages can you Ms. Oriental Pear? In this video, when you speak Chinese you don't have any heavy accents. I'm not American, but I have been living in the US for 36 years. I just became naturalized 14 years ago. Beside English, I can speak three languages, Espanol, Khmer and Zhongwen. Khmer is my native language. I can speak, read and write. For Spanish, I can speak, read, and write. I can speak Chinese, but I can't read or write. Thanks for sharing. Mingtien jian!

  14504. The 2021 polyglot conference has just ended. Sadly it was virtual because of COVID, but still I had Zoom conversations in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Chinese. There were many of the same people in those groups having complex, random conversations for an hour or more in all those languages and more. There are indeed some fakers on YouTube, but people shouldn't think that speaking multiple languages well is impossible because of that.
    2
  14505. I started my own school. We were doing big money until the world lost its mind. Lost half my students because nobody wanted to bother to learn how to use zoom. And also lost the place we were renting, it's still closed and the geezers that run it are still terrified of the rona. But this is the only job that makes me happy every single day, so I'm not giving up yet. And if teaching in Japan is truly a passion for you, then the only way is to start your own business/school. It's a lot more difficult, but so much more rewarding.

  14506. Just say that you're a sumo.

    2
  14510. Well, if you are asking how long I could last in a hostel... I'll answer it this way.. I was given the option of staying in the dorms at my college or staying in my parent's house for another two years with super strict rules and curfews and whatnot. I chose to stay home because there would be four in a room like that while I get my own room at my parent's house and can mooch off some groceries and don't have to pay to live here (besides paying my bills). So... Yeah, I couldn't last in a hostel if I was given other options. I'd probably choose to live with a host family if I was elsewhere in the world.
    2
  14511. 10:49 "Where's blah blah blah place and they'll say there" 😂😂😂 Love it. Happy and lovely 2021 to everyone who sees this! PD: Lol. Never have I ever seen an entire video without skipping before

  14521. I once said konichiwa to a Japanese guy online. I was amazed that he even replied with hi. Little experience for me I guess. I'm just normally like g'day mate naturally. It's humourous when foreigners try so hard to say it but it's not natural. I'm just like hi. Wait a minute.

  14523. When I first arrived in Japan for student exchange we had to take the bullet train from Osaka to Okayama and there was a group of kids on the train behind us. Some of the boys turned their seats around and played card games with the kids for the whole trip lol.

  14524. Hello from NYC , Ang Ming 😊 ! I like all you videos, stay safe, !😊

  14525. Working within different languages I’ve found it best to learn “how do you say?” so that you can point to an object and then be able to ask for it. I’ve learned how to say “I don’t know” in Spanish out of necessity. I then learned it in multiple languages just to illustrate the point to someone who won’t accept I don’t know as an answer. To make a point, in multiple languages I DO NOT KNOW! It was a work thing that I fortunately lost the need and ability to do except for a couple of languages.
    2
  14526. I really like your honesty and authenticity. you can speak good Chinese and naturally. maybe you can share with us how you learned both Chinese and Japanese at the same time? can you also write? when do you find time to do so? thanks.
    2
  14527. えー日本語も話せるね I started to learn Chinese too last month, I like this kind of videos, do your best 🙌🏼 加油💪

  14528. Lol that’s a typical day in Japan I felt it too GOD I HATE EM

  14529. I am Japanese and his Japanese is better than mine. And I know for sure his English is better than mine. D:

  14530. Great video, I hope you and your house mates all get on well together. 8 people under one roof can get tense if there are people who don't get along. Considering you are in Tokyo I thought the rent was going to much higher, I guess your landlord has a heart.
    2
  14531. Yup, true dat. Don't forget spam, vienna sausage, slim jims (mechanically separated chicken), kielbasa, McNuggets (pink slime), hot dogs, sausages.

  14532. I went to Hanami yesterday day with foreign friends and a boy opened his mouth and started at him like 10 seconds..lol
    2
  14533. Nothing wrong with approaching girls, chatting them up, and asking for their number. Isn't Oriental Pearl kind of doing the same? But you should at least speak Japanese like she does. I don't think the "Nanpa" does.

  14534. i hacve learnd japenese for a cuple off days so wanted to do a coment in japanese whit youst using my notes i think everything is right correct me if im wrong Watashi ni shigeki o atae, nihongo o oshiete kurete arigato gozaimasu.

  14536. That was fascinating! Wow - so many wonderful adventures around the world pulled up short by Covid. I like their masks, too. Potential customers get to see their smile while knowing they are protected.

  14537. Nice video and great job teaching Charles!!
    2
  14538. 😄😄 I love how you sat in the wrong place..and your reaction to that. I too have done some very silly things when faced with attractive people 😁💕 Such a fun video!
    2
  14539. You have such a beautiful eyes 👀 and carisma love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻
    2
  14540. WHY do they think you are Russian?? And do many English teachers claim not to speak English? What is the beautiful city where you're walking along the riverbank? And finally, the name of the company - Pimssler? (Pimsleur shows up when I put it Pims...)

  14541. Love it proud of u

  14542. I'm glad he is at peace with him-self in Japan. Because living in other country is very challenging I know because I'm retired from the U.S. Army. When I lived in Okinawa I stand out a lot, plus I wore tons of Lakers Gear. When I was in Tokyo people would come up to me and take photos, but I have learned by living in other countries is that you adapt to the environment that you are living in or make a choice to leave that environment if you don't fit in or like it.
    2
  14543. So awesome. So much fun. I very much miss Hong Kong and wish I had had the opportunity to stay in Japan.

  14544. There's never a dull moment for you 🤣🤣🎃🎃❤❤

  14545. My husband is Korean so I have learned enough to understand but not fluent. I went for a pedicure at a Korean Nail Salon. The ladies there were talking about me. I shocked them when I confronted them. Then the rest of the time they were completely silent 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  14546. She speaks Japanese like an anime character 😂 (And I mean that as a compliment, it’s funny in that it’s unexpected, but cute). She definitely looks half Japanese to me, you can see it when you look closely enough. If her hair were black she’d probably look more Japanese to people.
    2
  14547.  @OrientalPearl  It has 3,600+ views at the moment, so certainly not "nobody!" Pranks are fun and everything but if people skip things like this, they're really missing out on the good stuff.

  14548. Been binge watching your channel for the past month!!! Keep up the great content!!!

  14549. Guam seems nice. I’m also curious what’s on Toby’s camera though :)

  14550. Want to visit Japan so badly - especially at Halloween... Is it a good idea to get a Hotel in Shibuya centre? Is it even possible without booking well in advance?
    2
  14551. I'm a big dude and people would call me "Oki" wherever I went in Japan and I thought it was hilarious. My first day there a lady in the elevator asked if I was 2 meters tall and I thought it was hilarious. Kids thought I was a monster until I said "konnichiwa" hahaha
    2
  14552. You are ALSO very skilled anming. Ty for another entertaining stream. Tc please 😘
    2
  14553. Wow , I am so jealous, you are so good , i love your video i let my students watch it they love you .

  14558. 33.3K subs!!! WOOT WOOT! man, that dude at the end was cringy!!! Would you say that the older Japanese men tend to have more confidence in approaching you?
    2
  14559. This video is pure joy from beginning to end 😄♥️
    2
  14560. You definitely nailed the hot teacher look lol
    2
  14561. Damn i am starting to be proud of myself, started learning Japanese 1 month ago and already understood about 10-15% of what you were saying in Japanese :)
    2
  14562. Two questions for you: 1.) Why do you live in Japan? 2.) How long did it take you to speak Japanese so fluently?
    2
  14563. If you want american friends in Japan, I'd like some too :p
    2
  14564. You are doing amazing! A video every day! Each morning I’m so happy to get a new video! Thank you!
    2
  14565. I feel like I know exactly who you are talking about...
    2
  14566. I am so impressed its crazy. You're unbelievable! Lots of hours of hard work I bet!
    2
  14567. Very good interview, thank you. It was interesting and entertaining 😁
    2
  14568. Good for you! Very cool and much appreciated. I was stationed there in the '80s.... married my wife from there 30 years ago... but I did not learn Japanese at all... maybe 5% of the skill that you have... maybe. Thank you for making such a good impression and representing us 'gaijin' so well.

  14569. ▓▒░   Goodness !    When  the  video  began, I  thought  she  was  singing: “ I've   gotta   kick.    I've   gotta   kick.” Yes,  seriously. I   was   like:  " what's she going  to kick? " L.O.L.  `  ☻ ░ Well, who says you cannot have your cake and   eat   it,  too.   ░▒▓ `

  14572. These motivational videos are great. I am learning Chinese and something technical at the same time. The key thing is the perseverance to acquire muscle memory. The effort needed in amount and duration is, to be honest, beyond overwhelming. But as you said it so WELL, the view at the top is beyond beautiful. Thanks.
    2
  14573. congratulations

  14574. Very interesting! No way I could handle the crowds. When I go on vacation I go to escape people. Lol

  14575. The Taxi cab driver was such a Sweetheart ❤
    2
  14576. got dang, your music cuts boppin' as hard as your language skills.
    2
  14577. Studying multiple languages at once, is very very difficult. I tried this when I was younger, I only learned a very small amount of Russian and Korean, despite studying every day. I switched to Spanish full time and now I can speak Spanish. If you are learning a language, STICK WITH ONE.
    2
  14578. i couldnot understand what he was singing but it was cool
    2
  14579. what a sweet chinese woman, she really does respect u u can see it in her eyes
    2
  14580. I loved your video. Making the smallest effort to converse with someone in their language goes such a long way. Just for starters, it's gotten me a no-charge rental car upgrade in France, a lovely lunch in a small Italian town when they had already closed to prep for dinner, and a huge discount from the original ripoff price that I was quoted for an unmetered Mexican taxi. Of course, a smile doesn't hurt, either.
    2
  14581. you speak japanese that is awesome.
    2
  14582. Very interesting 👍🏽more of that please.
    2
  14583. So true👍
    2
  14584. I’m glad you are showing this kind of stuff and homeless people in Japan. Japan is still struggling
    2
  14585. really nice collab xd
    2
  14586. Oh my god, I am Japanese and live in Germany now. When your videos show so many things about Japan...it just makes me miss Japan a lot
    2
  14587. she is incredibly good with this language. My respects 🤗🤗
    2
  14588. you are so amazing. and I'm from Russia, I can say that you look like a Russian girl)
    2
  14589. Oh wow , another fabulous video by the oriental pearl :))
    2
  14590. How genuine of you to react this way (without even specifically targeting the people doing it and just purely to inform & make people aware) instead of being like: I should do this too🤑 Much appreciated.
    2
  14591. Beautiful japan
    2
  14592. Wow ur chinese is so gud
    2
  14593. 你是很可爱 🥰

  14595. Typical American on his motorcycle rumbling freedom!

  14596. She was surprised, but your chinese is so good, and the subject you spoke of was so in-depth, she forgot you weren't chinese.
    2
  14597. I’m so happy for you both! Much Love and Many Blessings 🤗

  14598. Sam rules

  14599. It's unfortunate that in a place as "free" as America, someone (a Karen) would have some MAJOR issue with this, even though it's all harmless/for fun, whereas in Japan, EVERYONE is amazed by it. Keep up the good work!
    2
  14600. youre so amazing! different langauges speaking. by the way, where in japan is the location where you go talked to the students? thanks

  14601. So..how many guys hit on you/tried flirting with you? :D

  14604. Awesome video. Loved the amazement from him.

  14607. Tommy got the full on Michigander full court press 7 day experience. The US has him hugging up a storm. He almost became an American but one look at the subway and his disgust at it's condition was evident. Nobody does subways and trains as well as Japan. A fun filled slice of the USA.
    2
  14608. My goal is to become fluent in German and speak like this to locals . Such a naturally flowing conversation. It's great to see!
    2
  14609. your so nice ♥
    2
  14610. Thank you very much for that sincere video. I have been studying foreign languages for several years now and it took me >4 years to achieve decent conversational level in the primary language I focused on which was Latvian. Those 4 years included private lessons with professional teachers, conversation exchange, summer course at a university, joining a group from the diaspora at the local embassy to engage in cultural activities, reading articles, newspapers, books, learning on my own and so on. Still, I am far from fluent. Thus, I am a little pissed when I watch those crappy polyglot’s video pretending to achieve and maintain fluency above B2 level in more than 10 languages they learned in 3 or 6 months, whatever. And then I hear them babbling a couple of words in my native language (French) and 90% of the time, they struggle to pronounce correctly the 2 or 3 super easy sentences they picked-up in French for the show off video. So, it feels good to finally having somebody talking about the elephant in the room.
    2
  14611. U the best😊
    2
  14612. This is one of the greatest of your videos. In the major cities of Japan you can almost always find someone who speaks English to a greater or lesser degree in area's where they expect foreigners to be. However, this definitely not the case when you are out of tourist area's of major cities. Even at major tourist attractions, in order to function above minimal level one must be able to speak some Japanese. I know that my limited Japanese helped hint at things I knew I was missing, as I was only getting a very superficial information level in English. Many sites have some English signage, some excellent, and very thorough, some very basic, and some nonexistent. I want to be able to more fully communicate with the people you will interact with, beyond basic transactions. This is no different than what a uni-lingual Japanese speaker would encounter in any English speaking country. Anming you serve as an inspiration of what can be achieved with hard work. You don't have to just get by, you can get a fuller experience because the level of interaction is deeper than one achieves without speaking the indigenous language.I also found that even in Taiwan people showed more surprise when I broke out my limited Mandarin stock phrases that hinted, I might be able to speak Chinese, which I can't. The Japanese I met were more stoic usually in all my interactions. Just a cultural difference. Thanks for high lighting how ones experience changes when you can truly make yourself understood. The onus is on me to make the effort.
    2
  14613. I really enjoyed this one! It was great getting a different sort of view of a Japanese office.
    2
  14614. THIS MAN IS A LEGEND! thanks for this video!
    2
  14615. Pretty sure that wouldn't fly in the USA for a legal rental. No window it can't be a bedroom. Probably no big deal since you don't mind living in a closet temporarily. Life is an adventure. Invest in house slippers instead of tracking dirt though the share house. 8 people is a lot of dirt. Nice video thumbs up.

  14616. am i the ONLY one? i heard some off beats..😬 BUT☝🏼 that doesn't mean i didn't LOVE it😉💕keep it goinggggg

  14617. El amor abre fronteras, es un dicho global imagino, pero que usamos mucho aquí en España. Is really fun to watch this type of videos, very interesting and learning for me. Un saludo desde España :D

  14618. ur so hot 🙈 - FL, usa

  14619. Love from england
    2
  14620. I like the way you get used to people being interested and curious because rarely see other races. I don't know what it feels like to be stared at like that, but come to think of it it seems uncomfortable. but in the end you replied in kind.
    2
  14621. When pantry management is the road to Lego Master lol You need commission links on your phone (or mask lol) so you can direct the language curious whom you meet to your and Yuki-san's language school j/k Always fun to share your experiences, Anming - even though I really, REALLY am now craving Jasmine boba lol Thanks 🗻
    2
  14622. I am always excited about your videos and love that you teach us so much about kindness and understanding other cultures.
    2
  14623. I really enjoy watching your videos and I would love to visit Japan.

  14624. Do you recommend Pimsleur as the best for online language learning?
    2
  14625. Gaining 250K subscribers in 1 month!😳 Now that's something to applaud!!👏👏👏 Congrats for the 500K Anming!😎 Excited to see how your life as a PR coordinator is.😉

  14626. I have been learning Russian for just under 2 years now and have a pretty good grasp on the language. And with it being the first language I started to learn I was doing some research at the start and saw all these ‘polyglot’ videos and thought how cool and you’re right! At the time I had no idea if they were good or not but now I go and see these videos and it’s immediately obvious that these people only memorise set phrases with poor grammar and pronunciation to the point I don’t even understand most of them when they try to speak Russian when compared to actual teachers and natives. And another thing I notice is there’s always copious amounts of beginner materials on sale and videos about beginner things but a huge lack in intermediate and advanced material. Because it’s like a New Years resolution people do it for a few days get bored or just quit but everyone can make a fast buck off of flogging beginner materials which is why I think the simpler the video the more ‘beginner’ the bigger the audience. Not many of us reach intermediate let alone advanced. 😅 Glad someone is calling out the fakes.
    2
  14627. I think you need a certain type of personality to teach English in Japan. If you're not sociable and not be able to have a bit of a laugh you will find it hard and won't last long. You don't have to be a clown but just a little bit of an entertainer. Also if you're serious about learning Japanese, teaching English is not the way to go. Go to a language school or join a Japanese company. You'll learn much much faster!
    2
  14628. When me and my brother saw this vid in my moms phone i was shocked.... So i continued watching the vid though.... But when she said that she used the app HelloTalk i downloaded the app directly because i wanted to learn how to speak Japanese..... Im really impressed and jealous of you....
    2
  14629. I appreciate you sharing your ability to switch between languages and really enjoy watching your interaction with the people.
    2
  14630. that chocolate strawberry would be a 1-bite snack for me, and she takes it through half of Tokyo. crazy.
    2
  14631. Hello there love your channel! Language's fascinate me that's why I'm here. Anyway I've noticed you a couple times identify a "flaw" in your attitude and you deal with it the best you can! That is very admirable and shows your true character. Great channel keep it up! Cheers 🤘
    2
  14632. Every youtuber who does the “speaking Chinese in Chinatown” kind of videos always says they’re not that good in speaking it whenever they get a compliment from locals... lol come on, just take the compliment and say thank you! No need to be that humble. You guys already know the reaction they are going to give when you speak perfect Chinese lmao
    2
  14633. As a brit living in Yorkshire its disheartening that so many people visit london and that is their only reference to the uk!

  14634. Great video. Keep posting, we love it.

  14635. Omg you have a beautiful smile😍🥰

  14636. i find this youtube channel relevant to my scientific interests

  14637. What a fun video! Love the rickshaw workers!

  14638. One of your best vlogs. Really down to earth and personal. Happy New Year to you and your new family from Pennsylvania.

    2
  14640. Sounding scared as f***: ha…haha…ha...
    2
  14641. I enjoy all your videos, but especially your interviews where people don't "fit in." It's like a review of my own life, especially where they talk about not fitting in America or Japan. I was, and am, fortunate enough to have had friends that never judged me, and accepted me as just another human. They're friends to this day. I could go on and on, but your guests tell it well.
    2
  14642. 🦊🦊 I'm a picky eater too , so would have the same question as you Anming . Your friend gave good advise too, just eat less of it 🌸🌺
    2
  14643. They probably thought you were from Russia because Russia is noted for having the most beautiful women... as you are.
    2
  14644. Congratulations, Anming and Tommy! BTW, the fish looks like an 赤ちゃんゴジラ。

  14645. 中文说的太好了吧。。。

  14646. 子供の頃は外国人は大きくてかっこ良くて憧れでした。でも英語がわからなかったので自分たちとは違う存在だと思っていました。 今は高校生になって世界の広さを知り英語もちょっとずつわかってきて外国人はとても親しい存在になりました。 日本のことを発信してくれてありがとう!! 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸
    2
  14647. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with me. I really enjoy seeing other parts of the world. I am from southern Indiana.
    2
  14648. I love your videos,and you are super hot,keep making videos.
    2
  14649. Your so right, Japanese are open to friendships when you open up and talk to them. How long have you spoken Japanese for? Its great 😊
    2
  14650. I'm really enjoying this travelogue style of video - it really gives such a rich, well-informed picture of Japan. The only thing I'd say is to perhaps pace out the voiceovers a little bit more - some of them were a bit quick, which could make them more difficult to follow for non-native English speakers (as well as making cutting between sentences more difficult in the edit).
    2
  14651. Wow. You speak japanese so naturally. I don't care if it's just basic everyday japanese. After all, that's all you need for most things. The rest will come. Just as many people only know the basics or maybe a bit more on their own mother language. So, I guess it isn't that big of a deal. So, unless you're going to work for some technical area that you need to know specific stuff it's fine. I'm actually interested in learning japanese as well. But I mostly can't afford to go to school. I mean, the issue is not money. It's mostly time. I work during the day as a programmer. And most classes I've seen are right in the middle of work hours. lol But I do have some books here with me (Japanese From Zero! by George Trombley). I'm too lazy to pick them up a lot of the time, though. xD
    2
  14652. Thank you for these videos! I studied Japanese for a while but swapped over to Chinese because it somehow resonated with me more and I found the grammar easier ;) I'm now at about HSK3-4 level Chinese. I haven't taken any formal exams but all my mock exams indicate that I am at this level (intermediate). I have studied by myself and have found that listening to videos documenting everyday conversations on the street are a very powerful tool for learning. Once I feel that my Chinese is at an acceptable level and I am more confident, I will probably give Japanese another try.

  14653. 0:47 Buggy is British English for what you Americans call baby strollers. He probably had a British teacher.

  14654. Cool interview. Love how you edited it!🌻

  14655. I love you 🇺🇸😍❤ always beautiful, beautiful hair beautiful look ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  14656. Learning how to speak Chinese is very amazing.

  14658. Are you in kawagoe?
    2
  14659. Finnish really seems like a very difficult language to learn. They have a lot of letters in one word! I've heard that Polish is also very difficult to learn.
    2
  14660. I love these types of videos.
    2
  14661. Congratulations!!! You both looked wonderful and so happy to be getting married, wishing you the very best in this new life chapter!
    2
  14662. That sales attendant’s eyes at 3:06 made me sad. Well at least she cheered up when you spoke Japanese!
    2
  14663. God for bid you immerse yourself in other cultures 🙄 they see a glimpse of your hobbies and say it’s your entire personality…how ignorant. They say it’s white people doing this only but white people are the only ones complaining about it…. Stay in your lane haters
    2
  14664. Waiting for more collab with them .. they are like anime.. wow. M shock.. wow. I subscribed n also waitin -_-
    2
  14665. They keep saying you look Russian. I suspect you do have some Slavic ancestry. Perhaps you should get a DNA test.
    2
  14666. I appreciate your integrity in not exploiting the embarrassing moments of others. So good of you. It is also refreshing that you keep it "real" and largely unedited. This authenticates the experience and is very enjoyable as a viewer. I see that your subscribers are growing. Ten K, wow! May I offer some advice (if you have a chance to read this :)? Keep it real when replying to the comments. Not implying that you are not, and I know there are quite a bit to sift through. I'm sure there are statistically some "undesirables" as well. But in the ocean of comments, there is, perhaps, the opportunity to connect with others and receive life-enhancing interactions. As much as you give of yourself by sharing your life in vlogs, you can reap the benefit of connecting with all of us as time permits and as you feel led. It is more important to have a few quality interactions that many empty ones. Personally, I would rather not receive a "like" if you haven't had time to read or consider the comments. To get a "like" without a response is akin to being just another number... I am not offended in any way. I still enjoy your videos. Just consider, as you do with your vlogs, the opportunity, and quality of each interaction. What dilutes businesses and relationships is the lack of attention to detail. I hope that you keep the vlogs real and the interactions genuine. In all sincerity, Johnathan.

  14667. I hope that I can convince my gf to wear a Kimono for some pictures some time.. :) I actually don’t really have a place to go to, to relax I think? Except for the coffee house in my city centre but I relax a lot at home too.

  14668. This woman is amazing, as are her videos! A huge life lesson for us all! Love who you’re with, love where you are!

  14669. I'm portuguese and "tortas" (egg tarts) are really good. I learned a bit of japanese and I hope to learn chinese as well, but with work and everything else it's hard to find the time and energy. Anyway, the point is, it's so awesome to find this kind of videos. Different languages in the world are just so interesting. Also, and more importantly, I find the majority of people are just so grateful and interested in communicating in their language or the languages they learned to speak. Despite so much political conflict going on between countries, the truth is the common people are just happy to live and talk with each other. I wish more videos like yours bring this truth to light to many more people!

  14673. I'll learn Japanese after I'm done learning Sumerian and I'm to a point that I'm confident with my ability of that language.

  14674. Another great video. Thanks!

  14675. Who knew being a multi-lingual American was a super power. The way they all looked at her you'd think she was hovering a foot of the ground. 😂

  14679. if you can speaking English and Chinese ,you can go to Many country travel 🧳
    2
  14680. love you as always - great work!
    2
  14681. If you are a beginner, presenting yourself as a beginner, being honest about the work that is needed to learn a language, thats is not a problem. The problem here is people who in some way miss represent either their level in languages or how fast an average person can pick up a language. Edit: missing word
    2
  14682. Your laugh is so lovely 😍 I luved it 💘 You're so beautiful, and very smart too. 😊
    2
  14683. Dear Anming, I really love the positivity in your videos! Your “we are all friends” vibe is a nice change from the (it seems to me) often prevailing modern cynicism in our news, etc. :-) I have been struggling for weeks now to make a decision between learning either Mandarin Chinese or Japanese first (eventually both, but I guess I should focus on one first). I have dabbled in both a tiny bit, find both countries equally interesting, but just cannot make up my mind. Since you learned both, would you have any suggestion which of the two to start with? Did you find the start in any of the two countries a bit “easier”, e.g. when making friends as a newcomer on the one hand or settling in practically (accommodation search, “foreigner-friendly” infrastructure, etc.) on the other hand?
    2
  14684. Aww that grandma was so adorable
    2
  14685. your so amazing i hope i can speak japanese too so i cant talk to my husband😍 by the way im from philippines i hope u can visit here too and try to learn and speak tagalag language too. by the way your so cool and amazing, more Powers!🥰
    2
  14686. I start my day with your videos, and it reminds me of how much I miss Japan. Make them longer if you wish. You do good production -- editing, music, etc. Thank you sooooo much!
    2
  14687. Yay!!! New video, thoroughly enjoyed watching every one. I bet you’ll be just as great with Korean as with your Chinese & Japanese. Have fun with it😊
    2
  14688. You are truly the best!
    2
  14689. Ahh yes, the toe-edge into faceplant. Every beginner's first 'trick' on a snowboard. I did that once, except I didn't have my boots done up well and was moving even faster. My feet came out of the boots and twisted my ankles on the way out. Kinda ruined snowboarding for me lol. I've been mostly learning passively through subtitled anime and vtuber clips for years (I've also read up on the grammer online). Can't speak much, but I'm picking up more than I'd expect just from that. I read fast enough that I can actually listen to the Japanese pretty well.
    2
  14690. Hi I speak mandarin
    2
  14691. I can’t help to think how awful my Chinese is. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love your channel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
    2
  14692. This couldn't have gone better. Super funny.
    2
  14693. You both are Very Beautiful!!😍🥰 It’s a MAJOR PLUS that you both speak the Japanese language very well too!!☺️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    2
  14694. 0:04 to 0:35 The people of Detroit are proud of you.
    2
  14695. @3:55 'Don't touch' sounded like 'you punk'. :)
    2
  14696. Your videos are very inspiring. I really enjoy watching them!
    2
  14697. Maybe you could do a video speaking to boys in japanese? I would like to see their reaction to you Pearl. Great video tho!
    2
  14698. Lmaoo I dont think they would like me as a neighbor. I like to stay to myself and I'm kinda antisocial but if they speak I will be polite and speak back maybe make some small talk.
    2
  14699. I really despise people who turn something beautiful—people learning about other languages and cultures—and turn it into an excuse to moral grandstand and pretend it's somehow linked to racism or "colonialism". People like that are pretty pathetic and should be ignored.
    2
  14700. Services in Japan are number one in the world and they don't do it to get your tips but they sincerely serve you the best and they are proud of it that to make you happy and they feel happy consequently.
    2
  14701. I just cant get enough of your vids, just started watching you 2 days ago and Yes subbed. Everytime new hear you speaking their language and the shock makes me smile. Im 80 yrs old myself and would not even try to learn a new language . I have to write a list just to go to the grocery so I dont forget,, still loving your vids keep doing them,, please ,, Steve.
    2
  14702. You are so fun!! Love your videos!❤️
    2
  14703. Japanese kids are so smart & disciplined
    2
  14704. Your comments at 12:35 is so true. I really love Japan and Korean culture but the bitter arguments and propaganda over the past really turns me off, wish they would just "get over it". Great video. Cheers.
    2
  14705. Beautiful video, I missed you 💖😢
    2
  14706. this video makes me excited to learn japanese
    2
  14707. Very enjoyable videos, thank you. Your authenticity, humility, respect, and sincere friendly energy in interaction show us the fun and learning we can have in interpersonal international relations. Languages open many worlds and can build many bridges, it is inspiring to share your experiences. Enjoy 🌟💛🌟
    2
  14708. I can't imagine who or why or what they can be trolling you about..you're knowledgeable, authentic and likable. Do they have something against westerners learning their culture? Everyone I see interact with you is surprised and pleased. I wouldn't even attempt to crawl into septic minds.
    2
  14709. Trolls/bullies are miserable losers. Ignore them. You have a great channel!!
    2
  14710. Trolls, and even unintentional trolls (people with super-triggerable unreasonable “issues”), are everywhere. I noticed on twitter that people can be horrible. There is a trick to understanding that they are them and actually not about you....so I kinda view them - when they’re clearly being unreasonably demanding about how I run my own site/page/account - I view what they say from a third person position rather than a second person position...if you get what I mean. I’m watching them speak at me instead of listening to them. It’s helpful to me, anyway. Also, please remember that you have learned a flexibility of thinking, to adapt to and operate effectively in very different environments. People with narrow experience rarely have had the opportunity to learn that first hand, and they get all tied up in a knot about trivial differences in their experience from what you say about your experience. I’m really sorry to preach, and I know you probably know this stuff, but I’m gonna post this anyway so you know someone else knows at least some of what you mean. You’re working hart, creatively, and doing really well in a difficult situation. Go you!
    2
  14711. Another great stream 💖💖
    2
  14712. Don’t overthink things. The old lady prolly just a subscriber of you. She was shy to greet.
    2
  14713. Interesting people! 😄 I think that it was Trevor James who had a sea booger in his show once 😅.
    2
  14714. im sorry but why is the rickshaw driver so fine 🦥
    2
  14715. I just binged watched all your videos! Your personality is the reason for that. It's freaking addicting^^. It's an attitude that I aspire to be. People will just gravitate to you. Hopefully more positive ones and not like the one that ghosted you. That person needs to repent and give gifts of sweets haha. *PS* you inspire me to learn mandarin. And when that time comes. Expect a full sentence from me one day heh..
    2
  14716. I feel if I go to Okinawa I won't want to go back to cold Canada...
    2
  14717. Idk if it’s just me but, me having a Spanish speaking origin makes pronouncing Japanese words much easier...
    2
  14718. Yeah! Aside from pranks, i love Vlogs. I would love to see all the cool places you get to visit, the food you get to eat, and people you share interactions with. Keep it up! Love your channel!!
    2
  14719. Hello on from Indonesia 🙏🇲🇨
    2
  14720. Oh my gosh! You're amazing! I love your language prowess and your personality in general! Thank you for being so sweet!
    2
  14721. i love your good positive energy and vibe, so explorative and worldly. My brother teaches English in shanghai and has traveled a lot. I hope to do the same as both of you some time soon
    2
  14722. こにちわ　I hope I spelt that right. You haven't uploaded any new videos. I'm worried about you. Are you okay?
    2
  14723. Thank you for another great video. Now that Tokyo is open for those in Tokyo, O look forward to traveling around and seeing these amazing places.
    2
  14724. I like blonde hair but i love her blue mix in her hair so much that i can't keep my eyes from her hair 😍
    2
  14725. Damn the way you were pulled and given a warm welcome, i can totally see that happen in india a lot - although it depends on person and situation - but yes, i think there are many similarities in asian cultures, if we could keep our differences aside, we can see the person for who they are. Great work sis, keep it up!
    2
  14726. Japanese food is so "clean eating" those coney dogs are going to tear his stomach up.... lol glad he enjoyed.
    2
  14727. Man that dude is awesome! I hope he's able to resume his trip!
    2
  14728. This video had a bit of a foreboding vibe, with the music, I was expecting something bad to happen but glad it ended on a hopeful note!
    2
  14729. I’m all for being body positive and being happy in your own skin but there comes a point when the body will separate from the mind and things will unfold. I’m happy he’s happy. At the end of the day that’s all that matters.
    2
  14730. I'm 23 and decided in the last year to take Japanese lessons before I finally get to go on my trip there. I love it!
    2
  14731. love how you speak all three languages and the American personality is everywhere 😆 amazing
    2
  14732. When you are too good in life , people thought your using a cheat sheet
    2
  14733. Near perfect dignified and honourable response from your friend concerning his etiquette if he doesn't like a host's offering.
    2
  14734. Those that can babble on their own without anyone to converse with are suspect. I watch "polyglots" do monologues but really doubt if what they are parroting were not rehearsed or impromptu thoughts. At best they get the grammar and accent right but engaging them in casual and random conversation would expose their ability.
    2
  14735. You won a new sub. 👍🏻
    2
  14736. Exactly, you just need to show you're willing to respect the culture.
    2
  14737. I actually would love seeing more of this type video
    2
  14738. This is such a great YouTube channel, this reverse culture shock is very interesting.
    2
  14739. This was your best video! Great storytelling, excellent editing and pace, and a concise summary of the last few months. We love you in Toronto, Canada! If you ever do a meetup in Michigan, we will be there as you are only about a 4 hour ride from us.
    2
  14740. thanks for sharing the fish freak out. best part of the video by far!
    2
  14741. Wow amazing Piano Play. A german beer Festival in Japan? Well, as a german i would have been the Center of attention, maybe 😅
    2
  14742. I would love to do that.
    2
  14743. You are amazing!!! Better to be in Japan than a major city in the us!!!
    2
  14744. You're so damn cool! I adore you ❤
    2
  14745. I love your video, have a nice day ❤
    2
  14746. By strong greetings from Holland i watch your blog always i have also a friends in Japan his name is hiro sato hé was working in Holland for fuji trading marine and lives now in Kobe city
    2
  14747. Congratulations to both of you
    2
  14748. Watching from Alberta Canada and I was absolutely fascinated watching you’s yes for sure do more videos like this!! Thank you 😊
    2
  14749. I'm an american and I am learning japanese right in Hope's that after college I can move to japan.
    2
  14750. Lol lollll that intro! 😀😅 his outfit lol executor lol 😂
    2
  14751. I wonder what his limit is. Like is 20 too much?
    2
  14752. Insane! More of these type of videos. Very sad to see, but happy someone is exposing this.
    2
  14753. Woahhh wtf I'm from Michigan too!! Amazing! Ann Arbor
    2
  14754. Yess!!! I've waited for days to see a new vid🤩
    2
  14755. 5:30 is that part of the dance from BTS mic drop lol??
    2
  14756. You guys are doing something legit when you have haters, they are just jealous because they dont have anymore braincells left to learn a new language, imagine if they go to a country where not many people speaks English and suddenly a local guy or girl comes up to then and starts speaking English? I bet you they will get shocked too...
    2
  14757. That old lady is so sweet!
    2
  14758. thanks for shedding light on this situation i just donated
    2
  14759. tbh surprised only 85% are not subbed. Other channels I feel like are always 93% or something
    2
  14760. Watching your videos gets me in a positive mode always, change it up, but kindly do not change, Ainming. Interesting to see if my fellow nordic Akaki may teach us one or two other Finnish words each eposide, like aurinko, sounds Japanese does it not?
    2
  14761. They are so cute 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
    2
  14762. When Kubota said “He’s like ultra Asian.” 💀
    2
  14763. Best wishes to Drew🙏🙏🙏
    2
  14764. Do you speak any Korean? I found that language to be super interesting. Wonder how hard it would be to learn for someone who speaks both Chinese and Japanese.
    2
  14765. Your art is so impressive. If you could make extra time, it would be great if you would draw your favorite Chinese and Japanese memories.
    2
  14766. Please upload that drawings in Instagram! Those are really cool!
    2
  14767. As a person who's played a ton of guitar myself it's insane that she can play well. Without being able to properly use your wrist whilst picking makes it so much harder.
    2
  14768. Hye babe Yakuza ❤️
    2
  14769. Well done , great work ✅ I’m back learning mandarin again🇬🇧❤️
    2
  14770. Can you compare the humidity to any states in the US.? I have lived in TX, GA and now Missouri. Any info would be appreciated-thanks.
    2
  14771. Do you think people would act the same way if you didn't have a vid cam? People tend to act differently when they see a camera -- maybe more friendlier than usual.
    2
  14772. I really admire the self help attitude and dignity shown by the man who invited you into his home. I'm getting the impression that Japan is turning a blind eye to these people's predicament and, worse, allowing gambling companies and grocery stores to prey on both kinds of addiction. I'll seek out your other videos of slum areas and hope that, in some way, you can make a difference. You're a wonderful young person for trying to 🙏😊
    2
  14773. This is so cool! Last semester I took a Japanese class at uni for beginners and I although I can grasp languages and their structure quite easily, I always thought that what I learned in this class wasn't a lot. But I understood so much of what you said in this video, holy moly! Really proud of myself now
    2
  14774. Gosh Anming, you're so lucky 🍀. Wow! Yay! Also, you stand out like a sore thumb so.. 😂
    2
  14775. Taiwan bubble tea is the best
    2
  14776. First time watching your videos and now following. You Japanese is GREAT. I'm barely learning and will learn more from my Japanese gf. Kon'nichiwa, Arigato❤️❤️❤️👍.
    2
  14777. Congratulations! You look so good together. I'm wishing you two all the best <3
    2
  14778. Konichiwa....oriental pearl...😍
    2
  14779. There are underprivileged people in every society. They deserve a better life.
    2
  14780. Hello I can see why you have so many sub, I was just watching you on another YouTube's channel being interviewed by this guy about how you bottom over 30'000. Subscribers in four months!!! And as I was watching that video I looked up your name!!! YOU!!! seem to be a down to earth person!!!Genuine and then I subscribe!!! (Yeah!!! What ever!!! You do!!! Don't leave!!! I' have some friends who had left the country and know they wished that they didn't!!! They have to wait!!! I'm surely would have stayed!!! (YOU!!! Got this!!! Sorry for such a long comment!!! STAY BLESSED and have a nice day!!! And keep in keeping it real!!!!
    2
  14781. Super great video, the editing and you stepped up on the music really liking it. Obviously the content was fantastic including all the joking around with the rickshaw guys :D
    2
  14782. I love your channel. I watch it religiously. As for drew all I can offer are my prayers. He has them. God bless.
    2
  14783. While I’ve never been to a village with thatched roof houses before, one of the things I saw a lot of on bike rides through Shiga are little villages tucked into hillsides like this or along Lake Biwa (like little pop-up villages!). They always felt old and like a quieter way of life. My friend in Hiroshima moved to an island called Etajima that had a similar vibe in some parts of the island. I love inaka Japan life. There are areas tucked in Kyoto as well that don’t even have convenience stores (and locals look at you like “what is this lost gaijin doing here???”). I love Japanese cities but something about the countryside is magical.
    2
  14784. It's ktea
    2
  14785. There are definitely some people that only know the stuff you'd learn in a first day of a language class, and try to pass it off as fluency for clout. And that's scummy, or at least delusional. But it's also important to keep in mind that some people just want to be conversational in as many languages as possible, in order to connect with people. Laoshu is a great example of this. Others are more interested in mastering a language before moving on to another one. Both of these are totally valid approaches to language learning, they're just different.
    2
  14786. Excelente vídeo. Esse é um modo de viver muito intenso que constrói e compartilha conhecimento e isso tem muito valor! Super bacana.👍
    2
  14787. the girls wearing kimono's were so cool haha
    2
  14788. I just can't stop watching you videos you're doing an amazing job ❤❤
    2
  14789. I want to come back in another life as a male Oriental Pearl...! How I wish I knew a fraction of the langauges you speak, especially Japanese.....! Enjoy South Korea..!
    2
  14790. Oriental Pearl, please pass onto that guy that he seems like a lovely man who is living life well with a smile. I hope you both keep in touch with each other. Maybe do a full length video with each other too?
    2
  14791. Wow, you're just amazing.
    2
  14792. hopefully u have some more videos with him looks kinda fun tbh :D
    2
  14793. You are what is called a "third culture" child. I am one as well. We straddle 2 different cultures.
    2
  14794. Yes.... most conversations with strangers are totally predictable and can be steered into familiar territory! You speak "X" ...Really? Where/how did you learn? How long? Have you been to X? Do you have a friend from "X" etc!
    2
  14795. To bad you cant hang a painting of a portrait that shows a window looking outdoors for you to look at in your room, if I was a painter I would but my art lies in music than drawing :( but Anata wa subarashidesu ) my kanji might need work 😋
    2
  14796. You are amazing! I really like your videos. Thank you!
    2
  14797. Wow!!!我享受你的视频!!!我也想去练习在中国餐厅这里在美国!😁
    2
  14798. Haha a westerner speaking Chinese must have felt like a celebrity moment to them. I was surprised when they grabbed your arm and turned you. How does one politely ask to please not be pulled around?
    2
  14799. I really enjoyed this video. You seemed to be in your element with all those fit japanese guys :) I hope your japanese boyfriend in China wont get too jealous! It was really nice to listen to the guys, we got an insight into their lives, which was possible due to you. Thank You!

  14800. This Pearl fucks!

  14801. Beautiful, and lovely
    2
  14802. In my country when we see fat peoples in restaurant we don’t focus on them we focus on mostly in eating but we focus on foreign people we get excited that foreign is coming to our country and try to talk to them because we get excited to ask things even in my country I don’t live there anymore but in my country if foreign is fat or slim we my country people always treat them like god
    2
  14803. Thanks for letting us know about Drew's condition. I made a small donation today.
    2
  14804. We need more people like you in the world People that put smiles on other people's faces Thank you for cheering me up this morning CHEERS EH

  14805. Your Janpenese is perfect，too.....
    2
  14806. “半个老乡” 哈哈 太逗啦～
    2
  14807. Trying and succeeding to make us smile! Try not to worry about your family, everything will work out well I’m sure. Another great video :)
    2
  14808. I like alot of your other videos but mingling with the locals is the kind of thing I like seeing. It makes us come to the realization that other than the language difference we're all basically the same. Good job girlfriend.
    2
  14809. 💕💕💕💕💕 💕 I love your videos
    2
  14810. Keep posting. Go for 1M subs😃
    2
  14811. Entertaining video, but not the best solution to your problem. Get a syringe and squirt warm soapy water into your ears to flush out the wax. pushing q-tips into your ear compacts the wax and makes the problem worse.
    2
  14812. You should work at the UN or for the USA government because you are fluent in so many Asian languages. You are so pretty, smart, diplomatic & a fine example of a good American. I'm so impressed with your talent for learning languages. Look forward to all your future videos. Keep up the good work. Take care.
    2
  14813. Married life is looking good on you.
    2
  14814. Nothing breaksdown barriers like shared language fluency and a sense of humor 😉
    2
  14815. Congratulations! Happy for you both.
    2
  14816. It also helps that you are incredibly upbeat, vivacious and outgoing. Nicely done.
    2
  14817. She's pretty f@#%ing awesome and cute. Thankyou for for uploading this and indroducing me to her and bad baby bomb 🎸 🎶🤘
    2
  14818. The kids probably missed you a lot after you left. They looked like they were having lots of fun with you.
    2
  14819. Love these kinds of videos. People get so happy and friendly when you speak their language :)
    2
  14820. Please do not listen to the hate comments
    2
  14821. what a couple of sweet girls.
    2
  14822. 3:28 I almost thought you ran into that Ask Japanese girl
    2
  14823. She looks like a Japanese animation character!
    2
  14824. Wow that's funny I know Yuki San from a facebook Japanese learning group! I was so surprised when I saw him in this video
    2
  14825. You’ve got to laugh, else you’d cry!
    2
  14826. You have such an amazing life path ! It's very admirable ! Is it okay to ask you how old you were when you started the incredible life course in 2012? Actually I am planning to go to Japan next year for teachin and aim to learn Japanese as well. I'm just a bit worried since I'm 30 that it would be more difficult or something....

  14834. Basically, spend some time getting the basics, and then talk to people asap (while still studying and improving vocabulary on the side)

  14837. I think Laoshu50500 does actually know a lot of those languages fluently or is at least at an intermediate level. However, I do agree with you that many of them probably just speak some of them intermediately. I don't think that makes them not multilingual or polyglots, but it doesn't make them fluent. My Japanese is high intermediate but I believe I can pass off as bilingual.

  14846. It’s devastating to see that a fire 🔥 destroyed a historic place there. Last year we had many terrible fires in Northern California one ☝🏽 was the hometown of many friends and familiar area as my two daughters were delivered and born in Paradise, California. My youngest daughter will be assisting the archeological portion during the rebuilding of the town. I appreciate the videos as I’m uncertain if I’ll visit Japan, however I’d like to visit Ireland and Portugal. I don’t want to endure the part of Ireland where you seemed to endure with your family. God Bless and Stay Safe.

  14847. Yay!!! God bless your marriage forever 👏🏽👏🏽😍😍 May happiness never leave your life💐💐

  14859. It happens everywhere to many people. I (a Chinese) have lived in the USA and Canada more than 20 years. One time when I visited a store in New York state, the store staff said to me "Your English is very good." I had exactly same feeling as you. My son was born and grew up in Michigan, one day a local Michigan guy greeted him in Chinese "你好！". He told me he even felt offended. I agree with you that people want to fit in. This kind of situation rarely happens in immigrant cities such as Toronto where people won't praise your English no matter how good your English is. I think the situation you're experiencing will be getting better as more and more foreigners are living in China and even their children were born there. BTW, Many foreigners' Chinese are still not at a workable level even they have been living in China for many years. Your Chinese is REALLY REALLY good!. LOL
    2
  14860. I used to supervise some kids of different ages in a youth center for a while, and they will constantly try to challenge you, in the way of "how much can i get away with". When they see that you're a bit of a pushover, that's it, you'll never get your authority back. I found that although you can be friendly, you shouldn't be communicating on a "friend level". It should still be clear who has the authority and who has to listen. Then they give you the respect. And if they get praised by someone they really respect, that's what actually makes their day. I know, easier said than done, and it's a fine balance. In my opinion, those kinds of skills, like classroom teaching competency, didactic action or however it's called, are almost as important as knowledge of the actual topic you're teaching. That's why, if you have a shortage of teachers, newly hired "career changer" teachers who have knowledge about a topic, but no knowledge about teaching, tend to have a hard time in the classroom. But i also loved your interaction with the kids on the field trip! That might not be the textbook way, but it warmed my heart :)
    2
  14861. How did you learn Mandarin and Japanese? How long did it take you? I'm new to the channel and I'm pleasingly surprised 😃 Cool video
    2
  14862. Gross no socks and bare feet on the train. Loves the videos though
    2
  14863. One of my son's live in Japan, and has done for a long time, he can read and write and speak fluent Japanese, he lost his wallet, and panicked, phoned me to have blocked. I said don't worry, go to the local police station, and yes he got it back and with all it's contents. I doubt if that would happen in London. A nice video, thank you for sharing :)

  14864. I only really know Detroit from the game Detroit: Become human, so it’s pretty cool to see what it actually looks like

  14865. Asians certainly respect personal boundaries but the ones they respect are different. For instance, in the West you don't ask a woman who's above her 20s her age - but this isn't a bugaboo among Asians and an older Asian lady will announce her age very proudly, because older people are esteemed in Asia.

  14868. I went here last year to see how the school was a part of the town of Kosaka. They’ve a wonderful relationship. There are different environments and situations to study Japanese and this is a good one. Without tourists, I can imagine it’s been a tough time for the residents of Kosaka and the school and I was actually surprised and happy to see Alyssa make a video here. I don’t want to see the school have to close down and I think if you were to choose a language school, this is a good one not just for the school but for what they do to make the community a part of the experience.

  14871. Guailo is Cantonese...Laowai is mandarin Chinese. Both means the same, "foreigners". But the Cantonese version may sound rude if it's translated directly/literally.

"Boung Chaung Ha Sae Yo!" in place of just formal good byes .....basically , "Much success to your business!"...Please ask your Korean language coach about this phrase

  14880. The mechanism and methods of language learning is easy to understand, but the process itself is pretty difficult. There is immersion, study, cultural nuances and practice. What I would count as fluency is being able to amalgamate those altogether into comfortable understanding and ability. Even after getting basic fluency there’s whole other levels to the language like professional vocabulary, creative writing, and casual face to face interactions. The learning never stops in your second language and even in your own language. btw I’m not fluent
    2
  14881. Wonderful!

  14882. Yes you’re so cool!

  14887. i wish i can reach that level of japanese lol
    2
  14888. Anming, you are a sociable and friendly person. I think that helps with interacting well with rural and city people anywhere in Japan. It is interesting how the rural people were eagar to interact with the foreigners and start conversations. I am learning Japanese and would love to get at your comfort level with speaking to people in the language.🙂
    2
  14889. Now that you're YouTube famous I hope you don't forget me😞😥

  14906. Yes. Asian language mostly full of expression in their voice tone. I'm from malaysia and speak Malay. We commonly used .. A'ah.. Oooo ...emmm.. To verify or sign that u are listening.. I totally agree on eye contact. We got nervous.. We only use it to confront someone for a fight 😂

  14908. Thank you. Your prize, a fat like.

  14909. Anming is showing to us the world has many dimensions or rather flavors. Taste the world but there is always going to be some foods or 'fools' you don't like...and that's ok because you can always move onto something else.
    2
  14910. This will be exciting to see!
    2
  14911. You're lucky , you're very unique and easy to recognize among the crowd ,, otherwise you would of got your wallet lost for good ! lol ,, thanks for the great content ,, (watching from Algeria , northern Africa ,, since you're tracking your viewers now haha) ,

  14917. Thank you for sharing this side of Japan…..It is sad, many great minds found a way to get to the farthest point of our galaxy, to dive deep in our oceans, cure deadly diseases….and still we can’t solve the most simplistic of problems, hunger and homelessness! Stay well everyone!

  14926.  @OrientalPearl  dude, make more.. I mean ya, there's all kinds of bs corona travel restrictions now, but I'm sure ur creative enough to come up w sumpen catchie and fun to show the world. I mean ppl these days could use some boost of positive vibe, especially a lighter note of things from that red side of the world ur prolly at now.. im sure u know how to make it uh.. let's just say "none controversial.." so ya, plz keep up the good work girl!
    2
  14927. Cool to see Nobuaki Moribe-san again. That job must be rough, although I'm sure he's use to it now. As always too. Glad to see the videos and that you're doing well. 👍🏽😊 The message he tries to convey at the end too. Is really nice and agree.
    2
  14928. I have subscribe yesterday and I always want to learn Japanese but didn't start it becouse I think it is to hard to learn, but now my 2022 year goal is to start learning Japanese. This motivations is because of al the video's that I already watched in 2 days
    2
  14929. 😂 I only watch you, oriental pearl. So I dont really know or care about others. Thanks for the info as i tend to believe what people say, even on the internet 😅
    2
  14930. If I may be candid, it is nice to see people using language with the way it's supposed to be. Rather than oh here is a silly tourist, sure they're shocked but you break that barrier with each group of people. A friend of my went to study in France, the only bit of french he started with was, "I am sorry I do not speak French, I'm English". 90% of the time, people would accept that he was willing to learn the language. 20 years later, he still lives in Normandy.
    2
  14931. Your videos are trully awesome. Every time I watch it I feel motived to keep studying japanese!

  14932. Congratulations!!!

  14935. Nice music idea ... Beethoven ... "Alle Menschen werden Brüder..." Love it

  14936. Emiちゃん❗️
    2
  14937. I hope to see more discussions on topics like this! I love that you bring a realness to the language learning community. I can understand the criticism ppl have about ppl who profit off their foreignness/shock value but at the same time, it’s made ppl want to go outside of their comfort zone, learn a language and attempt to break cultural barriers which is so important.
    2
  14938. quick question! do you ever miss american snacks? or like any foods that are rare in japan and china?
    2
  14939. I’m trying to learn Japanese to befriend gamers online. Wish me luck!
    2
  14940. Girl I love your videos, It's great that for others to see. Japan isn't that quiet place they think it seems. People are friendly and will open up. Just have to make the first move haha.
    2
  14941. I love your approach to the vlogging thing. 화이팅!!

  14942. $1.40 for a single piece of strawberry, food in japan is expensive.

  14943. Great video . Not content you'll find in many places, but you get deeper into the rickshaw world than most would. It appears that you had a good time making the content. I'm sure the editing process was a challenge as there were a few jump cuts. Enjoyed listening to and trying get and understand all the Nihongo spoken. Very entertaining.
    2
  14944. I was like... "that´s a nice logic about the food´s flavour not being necessarily related with the length of the line you´re waiting in!" 🤙 30 seconds later... "we waited in the line we said we wouldn´t wait in" i died 😂😂😂👍<3 love your videos
    2
  14945. Amazing job on 1 million. Love you guys ❤
    2
  14946. I love this. I will probably use this vid to help me learn these words. Omg I just had a thought that I can teach my brother the word cow and tell him it means beautiful and the next time my family goes to the Chinese restaurant that we go to a lot he’s gonna try to impress them with his Chinese. I’m evil 😂 😂 😂!
    2
  14947. Love from england
    2
  14948. Ooh, I love all the movies you mentioned. It was actually quite difficult to find a cinema in the UK that was showing Weathering with you. It was double the price of other movies, and had to travel a bit to get to the cinema as it wasn't at a local one. Definitely worth it, though.
    2
  14949. 美女，好厉害，会说这多语言👍
    2
  14950. This is the best kind of language video content, catching them out talking about you is way more fun than just chatting to them in their languages.
    2
  14951. Seeing videos in Taiwan is a new one for me! So as always, thanks for bringing us Along for the ride Friend 🙏🏽🫶🏽
    2
  14952. Only Anming would eat strawberries with sauce on a stick.
    2
  14953. Have you ever tried to learn another language before. Even if you learned a little what other language's did you learn?
    2
  14954. This video was soooo cute! Their entire demeanor changed once you broke out the mandarin! These videos make me want to learn mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, etc so bad. I should just start somewhere.
    2
  14955. fully agree, i´ve lived in Tokyo 6 months and people have been extremely kind and warm.
    2
  14956. Great video! This is soooo true, usually it doesn't go like we plan it)))
    2
  14957. nice video ...
    2
  14958. Oriental Pearl thank you! Yes, I look forward to your videos - I have my notifications on! 👍🏻
    2
  14959. Breaking down the language barriers really opens up a whole new world for people and it’s nice to see
    2
  14960. Congratulations! I'm inspired by your strength in learning languages and adapting to cultures!
    2
  14961. I'm so excited you started learning Korean! Korean is the language that I fell in love with, so happy to see you're getting into it! I hope one day to be a bit conversational in Chinese and Japanese as well. I have to say I've never been a fan of the clickbaity titles, like Anming says, of like "stupid X foreigner speaks X language and BLOWS PEOPLES MINDS". It's a bit much and sometimes does come off a bit arrogant based on these titles, as well as furthers the "stupid foreigner" stereotype, which I think most passionate language learners don't appreciate. I love the wholesome speaking on the streets videos where people actually have conversations and people are genuinely warmed that that person speaks their mother tongue. But I don't like the "American person makes foreigners feel at home by speaking X language". To me these titles almost created a sense of an assumption that sometimes crappily speaking another person's native language is almost doing a "service" to other people, like that person is "lowering themselves" to speak that "non-english language". It feels like a superiority complex. As well as infantilizing non-natives living in other countries, assuming that they need to be made to feel "at home". I'm interested to hear other people's point of view on this and am really interested to discuss!
    2
  14962. I am an introvert and A LOT of times I really dislike talking to people, even though I believe it's easy. Still, you make it look FUN and it makes me WANT to do it because I like fun things hahaha
    2
  14963. I really really really want to go thru a bamboo forest like that (but on a larger scale) or like the ones you see in Chinese fantasies. I have hiked thru one in the northern mountainous region of Thailand but it had a really different vibe (although most of my attention was taken up with puffing cos the climb was steep). The coolest discoveries are, IMHO, the small differences that are so trivial that they don’t tend to be covered in movies. I miss travel so much!
    2
  14964. Children in Singapore would not dare touch the teacher's face. That's so disrespectful.
    2
  14965. You're an inspiration for learning and connecting to world culture.
    2
  14966. Like Japan earthquakes are a normal part of life in New Zealand, we just get on with it. A day out with your Chinese teacher would be great, Tommy is a lucky guy.🤭 great video.
    2
  14967. Please please make more videos like this I love your videos so much and love more the responding of people With Laoshu not with us anymore im gonna miss his videos so so much But atleast you are there
    2
  14968. lmfao omfg this kid I feel like his rap is parody, like he can't be serious 😅🤣😅😅🤣 ~can I be a female Napa? 😅😳👉👈
    2
  14969. Very relatable, fantastic interview!
    2
  14970. i feel like there is more old people steareing and not the yunger generation.
    2
  14971. Historically Honolulu Chinatown was mostly Cantonese. Older generations spoke Cantonese there. In the last maybe 20year or so, there has been a slow change to more Mandarin, as well as other languages becoming more common there such as Vietnamese. Lots of yummy things there now from many countries. I remember how we loved shopping there when we were kids with our Cantonese grandma. Yummy cakes, cookies, dried fruits, char siu bao, dim sum etc.
    2
  14972. Hello! Could you please post a video on must know Chinese expressions :) Love your channel
    2
  14973. That old man was a pro beyblade gamer.

  14974. In other words they just see tourists as cash-cows and try to fleece you for all you're worth.
    2
  14975. I'm so grateful that youtube recommend me this video.
    2
  14976. aww so sweet. congrats Anming!
    2
  14977. Congratulations! I saw this ping up when I was out so saved for later to watch, then just remembered!! So I'm up before everyone else here to watch it. 🥰 Congratulations 🎊 おめでとう~。I've watched all of your videos and I feel a bit emotional watching you get married. Despite your family not being able to attend you were both so positive. And you look absolutely beautiful!!
    2
  14978. 😤I wasn't notified for this video (checked my settings). The Beyblades looked like so much fun. I used to watch the anime in the U.S. before school.
    2
  14979. I've watched at least one channel like you describe. But I feel he is honest about the amount of time he's spent learning the language, and it's basics that would allow you minimal social interaction and the ability to buy items. I'm ok with it, sometimes it inspires me to want to continue my own language learning, it shows you don't need to be an expert to at least interact with others and get by in a foreign country.
    2
  14980. "Your Chinese is very good". "No, it's not". To people from other culture it may sound a bit fake, but I think it's easiest to understand if you compare it to in English when someone asks you 'How are you?' and you responding 'good' even when you're actually not good.
    2
  14981. That man liked you, he asked you out on a date. The streets are so clean, is there a big fine for littering or do the Japanese people just like them clean?
    2
  14982. I don't know why neither youtube recommended you, maybe you are my destiny hahaha
    2
  14983. It’s destiny indeed. It was meant to be.
    2
  14984. My dream is to study abroad in Japan. My parents tell me it’s too far or I won’t like it there, but I feel homesickness for Japan, even though I’ve never been. I plan to visit after the pandemic is over, and make my decision after that ❤️
    2
  14985. Very educational video whose significance might be underestimated by hasty viewers who focus only on one side namely the entertaining side of interactions. One need to pay attention to cultural side that you highlighted so as to get rid of many misconceptions that people have with regards to culture being embodied in the language. I think majority of people (even when they speak foreign languages) try to apply their culture (of what is rude and what is not; how to compliment and how not, and how to respond and how not etc) to foreign language speakers. This leads to many misunderstandings and hence people start forming misconceptions about other cultures by projecting their own. You have demonstrated this point vividly in this video. It cannot be better than that. As for one's mastery of language, I totally agree with you that it is not only about speaking fluently in casual conversation (e.g. one need only a thousand words to speak English in daily life and even natives of English need no more than 6000 words in all areas of their life) but it is about one's ability to understand academic vocabulary that might be used in interdisciplinary fields and being able to write in that language. Writing is another whole skill on its own that is different from speaking. For you to be able to write a thesis means you master the language on another level (formality of words and expression, coherence, style, moving smoothly from idea to another, employment of academic jargon with respect to your field, and so many other elements). Hence, I know where you are coming from. I think many people overlook the fact that writing is also a skill tested in language tests (in addition to the other three).

  14986. If it wasn’t for these types of videos, I wouldn’t of started to learn Mandarin. I am very thankful for them.
    2
  14987. Amazing, I am so impressed with your Japanese and Chinese language, so I liked and subscribed to your channel.
    2
  14988. Your energy is looking really high , すごいね。Because of you … 日本語で勉強してる。I have come so far in 1.5 years and I can speak half decent. 東京に行きたいです next year (hopefully) with my son … he is looking forward to it and I want to come because I want to see if I like it and it’s all because of you and the confidence you have given me to challenge myself to learn.
    2
  14989. Do you speak Portuguese
    2
  14990. You should do an update video on how your cousin is doing with her Chinese also nice video :3
    2
  14991. So, my story is that I’m Russian and my major is Chinese studies. I’ve spent many years studying English (lost count so far) and eight years with Mandarin. And about seven years ago I’ve seen some of that polyglot videos and I thought that I was no worse than these guys. Aaand I failed big time trying to study some other languages for no particular reason really. And I really needed some time to see how much time and effort it takes to learn HSK6 Chinese, and even after I keep learning something every single day. To be honest after graduation I wanted Japanese as well, but I think that Chinese still requires full commitment to be maintained, so by now I’ve given up all other languages besides English and Chinese. Although I would really like to give Japanese another try. Thank you, guys for all your thoughts!

  14992. Love the train view 👀❤ Thank you for the new video, i hope this channel can get 150k subcribers😉
    2
  14993. How fun!
    2
  14994. Amazing dear. good at Chinese and Japanese.... now you have one more east Asia to visit. I also speak Chinese and Japanese but not good as you. I hope to come across you in the future while I'm traveling. :)
    2
  14995. In an ideal world they should enjoy the best of both worlds. Sadly there’s only one world and it’s not ideal.
    2
  14996. Congrats on 100k! Next stop 1 million! U have such a wide variety of guests it keeps it interesting.
    2
  14997. you’re so cute, haha!
    2
  14998. Haha. Gweilo sounds like Gringo in spanish but it never was intended as degoratory term in my understanding. Then lastly glad you found your new love. Hopefully he will be THE ONE till inifinity.🤭🤭🤗🤗

  14999. 我也认为日语比中文难，迷之日语

  15000. Always wanted to try this
    2
  15001. ❤😅 Travelgeek said Japanese love fried chicken , Tommy tell us which one he prefers 🇯🇵🇺🇸
    2
  15002. You had me worried at the beginning! I thought for sure it was going to be that guy at the beginning of the video who was stalking you later on! Actually glad it ended up being an old curious woman with shifty eyes =p
    2
  15003. “Your teacher has a lot of debt”. 🤣🤣
    2
  15004. I've learned more Japanese by using Pimsleur than any other method.
    2
  15005. Oh my God! This meeting is so sweet! ❤
    2
  15006. 不知是在何处的感觉，哈哈哈哈
    2
  15007. While not Karate, I took a form of Korean Martial Arts for ~7 years. I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be (meaning I suck now), but there are similarities in Karate that reminded me of it. Good times!
    2
  15008. I'm studying Japanese right now. You've inspired me to learn Japanese. Thanks :)
    2
  15009. Wow this is the first time I come across your channel, you're so talented, and the girl with you also so pure, I wish all the best for you and for her, she deserve to be happy, obviously she doesn't know how talented she is. PS: You've inspired me to learn more languages, I speak only 4 languages (En, Ar, Fr, Tr) Thank you so much, you've got new subscriber.❤❤
    2
  15010. Beautiful video Anming. It was so nice seeing your Husband enjoy a slice of America, land of indulgence. You always present such wholesome videos and I was shocked to hear about the less than 1% viewers sub - SUB PEOPLE! It's a wonderful journey : )
    2
  15011. Dang , they pull those rides by running? In America they have a bike attached to the front. Instead of pulling it
    2
  15012. Actually, Japanese is quite popular, I'm sure people from Latvia, Poland or idk Hungary would be even more surprised to see a foreigner speaking their native language 😂
    2
  15013. Every shop you go to forces you to eat something because they love you. If you keep making videos in Yokohama they'll keep you super well fed for sure. Thank you for making all of your videos. When I open YouTube and don't see a new one from you a little piece of me dies because you make the days go by a little easier :(.
    2
  15014. Perfect outfit for you
    2
  15015. All right, I see you Annie Leonhart😏👌
    2
  15016. Ohhh i would love to learn the differences in the way they dress, mannerisms and all of that. Fascinates me. :-)
    2
  15017. So grateful to finally come across this type of content. Love your videos.
    2
  15018. Love it!❤

  15020. My two favourite youtubers of all time Queens👸🏼 indeed
    2
  15021. I was smiling the enitre video and u made me take up learning japanese again
    2
  15022. 「くるむ」と「包む」。。。 同じなんじゃないかな？と思ってしまった自分がいた。 日本語って曖昧な言語なんかなー。。。
    2
  15023. I can see why they all say they think you're Russian, because you do have an Eastern European shape and look to your face, blonde hair and tall. It's funny though that they all keep saying that in your videos. It's good for a laugh. lol 🤓
    2
  15024. I went into a restaurant with great ratings in Kyoto station and when I looked at the menu it was only cow tongue and I didn't want to just leave after I'd been seated Lol. So I ordered cow tongue curry so it was just all ground up so I didn't have to look at it or feel any unusual textures. Haha
    2
  15025. Anming, thank you very much for these videos! They are so fun! I am really inspired to try learning Japanese now! Your confidence and command of both languages is AMAZING to watch! Be safe and thank you, again!
    2
  15026. Katie is absolutely GORGEOUS. What a gift.

  15027. Thank you for sharing a small snippet of your neighborhood, very charming surroundings!

  15032. I recognize that song....I ❤️ it
    2
  15033. Pearl, congratulations on reaching one million subscribers. You've undoubtedly earned it. I never miss any of your videos. The video with John was simply phenomenal. It's such a rarity to encounter such vibrant individuals. I don't understand Japanese or Chinese, but he speaks with so much life and delves into certain imagery that it's impossible to stop watching. Thank you, it was a revelation. I just woke up and the first thing I did was watch this video. I believe my day is already made. Thank you very much.
    2
  15034. Love this lady, great channel😎😎
    2
  15035. Don't know how I found your channel, but I am so glad I did. You have a really natural style and I like it a lot. Looking forward to more videos.
    2
  15036. So I'm multi lingual and I talk alot in my sleep and my mom told me that I switch and she cant understand what Im saying half the time lmao
    2
  15037. This was 4 months ago, has the Japanese African American sister uploaded any videos yet? what is the name of her channel?
    2
  15038. I've always thought of "nihongo jozu" as encouragement. Nice vid!
    2
  15039. I love culture appropriation. It’s what allows me to enjoy hamburgers and sandwiches even though I’m not from Hamburg or the Sandwich islands or have any connection to those places. 🙌🔥
    2
  15040. Congrats on 1 million and you're so sweet getting your followers to support Drew. A true friend. Why do they make foreigners be in a private room? 😢
    2
  15041. 我是第一次看你的视频，感觉你的的性格很好👍我很喜欢
    2
  15042. Haha what a great 1 million special that was🥰🥰😘😘
    2
  15043. "This is supposed to be seen" Not because to be ashamed or disgusted by them but to be reflected and grateful of what little things we have that they dont The kids and teens nowadays have lost their humanity and gave their souls to their social media on how good and rich they look
    2
  15044. Never clicked on a notification this fast lol. Another Great video, Pearl! It is nice to see people's reaction to your speaking their native language. Forget about the prank, it is your genuine and nice conversations and interactions with natives that stand out. P.S. I gave it a thumbs up before watching. Keep these videos coming, plz!
    2
  15045. I prefer this lady be my teacher..
    2
  15046. What a cool looking person.
    2
  15047. Detroit?! I grew up in Birmingham, mi! Small world😊
    2
  15048. I totally agree with the point that doing 1 hour lessons in a week does not work I'm trying to learn Vietnamese and yess it's difficult if you don't keep going with it
    2
  15049. We lived in Hong Kong for two years when I was a kid. My dad picked up a lot of Cantonese while we lived there because of his job. We're from Toronto Canada, where there is a very large Chinese community, and a lot of Cantonese speakers. He definitely caught a couple old ladies talking smack about him on the bus here once. Turned around and spoke to them in Cantonese to shock them. I think it's honestly more common for people to use different languages to talk rudely behind your back in predominantly English speaking countries because they really don't expect you to speak or understand anything other than English. I have friends who are "ABC"s who have had this happen to them as well, because native Chinese speakers just expect them to be so westernized that they don't even speak Chinese any more.
    2
  15050. I love you and this channel. Also tell papa tkyo i said hi
    2
  15051. 我是也门人，但是我好喜欢中国🇨🇳🇾🇪

  15052. Happy anniversary! Many more to come, I hope.

  15053. Great tribute to Aviicii as well, may he rest in peace
    2
  15054. That Taiwanese lady is so cute! What a sweet person
    2
  15055. Great video! You clearly have a talent for learning languages and speaking them perfectly. Would you think normal mortals like myself would ever be able to speak as fluently as you without spending all my life studying? (I’m a native English and Spanish speaker and 15 btw)
    2
  15056. You and Matt are my mentors. Thanks for the inspiration and have an awesome life !
    2
  15057. It's tiny yes, but not super tiny. 62 square meters is perfectly doable with 2 people. I do wonder why you'd want to live in such a big city in the first place. I live in a rather small city and I'd love to move to the country side. Less people, more nature, fresh air. If I had the means I'd move today.
    2
  15058. Hello from above the arctic circle here in Norway! I have seen most of your videos her on Youtube, I love them! They are very inspiring and funny. Take care and come visit Norway some time!
    2
  15059. 2:08 you have it wrong. Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot. 8:48 kind of a long flight for an eraser.
    2
  15060. why did this make me cry?? im so happy for you two you make a really good pair <333
    2
  15061. wow i wish i could do this :( i only speak English

  15062. Hi Oriental Pearl, I've been following you for some time now, and I love your content. Thanks for sharing this video. I am now following Nomad Push as well.
    2
  15063. So jealous of the retreat! That breakfast looked amazing!
    2
  15064. You both are so adorable omg i cant
    2
  15065. I have never heard about the “no filming” issue. Have any Japanese people told you that on the streets or do you just get comments about it here on YouTube? What is their reasoning behind that? I’m assuming it’s for privacy reasons and the lack of permission from those captured in your filming...?
    2
  15066. Love the video sis 🤗
    2
  15067. Th-this is a bit extreme Miss Pearl! 😂
    2
  15068. 什么意思？你的频道被黑客攻击？
    2
  15069. You are so fortunate! I would love to visit an onsen during the winter! so nice! By the way, the game is Go not Shogi.
    2
  15070. I would have similar thoughts as Mr. Tommy's, very fascinated to everything in your child hometown of Detroit, Miss Alyssa. Hoping to be in America in the future, after being influenced from its culture. Firstly, very curious of the diner, which is more vintage and modern American style. Then, a bathtub is definitely one of the households is needed in a bathroom of American homes. Next, not just a lover of cheese, but also the roasted turkey turkey looks fluffy and crispy for the Thanksgiving or pre-Christmas dinner.
    2
  15071. sitting on my couch in florida in lockdown, you seem to enjoy the daily life so much i wish i was able to walk around here, from growing up in houston to living in philly fl is one of the most boring places compared to a big city lol. love your videos i hope you have a great night
    2
  15072. Thanks for sharing your life experience with the public
    2
  15073. It's funny. Anytime these go up, you're out buying food and stuff, and I'm just sitting down with my food. 😁
    2
  15074. My exboyfriend is chinese, and now my boyfriend is japanese so i can speak japanese, soon ill date every men in the world and i can master world language

  15081. Love the content! Keep up the great work = )
    2
  15082. Guy at the beginning was surprised to find out you didn't come for the anime. He was expecting you to be a weeb lol.
    2
  15083. Very super lady
    2
  15084. Awesome! Thanks for bringing us along
    2
  15085. you should try scuba!
    2
  15086. Funabashi spoiled me. I had a large apartment all to myself. I lived in a building with 7 other gaijin, each with our own apartments.
    2
  15087. Since lockdown began 4 months ago I started to learn Chinese and Japanese, but mostly Chinese for me it's like being stuck in an infinite loop, the most difficult things I've found is Pronunciations & saying certain letters it's a long road ahead and thank you for the tips. Keep up the good work and amazing videos
    2
  15088. Tommy looking suave in the muscle car lol
    2
  15089. Enjoy your time in Japan! Your channel reminds me of Bald and Broke
    2
  15090. Don’t be disheartened, I watch everything you post! I think Toby is a lucky guy and you make a beautiful couple, best wishes!
    2
  15091. I too m someone who embraces not fitting in 😎✌🏼🧙‍♂️
    2
  15092. Dragon Ball is one of my favorites! Never thought you'd be a fan.
    2
  15093. How they say to you in chinese "your chinese is amazing"?
    2
  15094. One of my fave channels! 💜🤘🏽
    2
  15095. Awesome!!!!! I will be checking the band!!!
    2
  15096. I agree. Not being afraid brings one confidence and with confidence a person can really learn anything. How fun was that..!!! I loved that you get exposed by people who see your videos. You're a star...
    2
  15097. Both of my trips to Japan were amazing.
    2
  15098. It is so hilarious when dude picks up the rickshaw and then says it's so heavy....lol I want to learn Japanese so I can watch anime videos lol.. anyway I love your channel ❤️
    2
  15099. Great video! Love from San Diego!
    2
  15100. couldn't have said it any better!!! keep up the good content and please do a colab with @abroadinjapan :D
    2
  15101. I love how the footage of home cuts in every now and then, it's like you're showing us what you're really thinking about while cleaning.
    2
  15102. This warms my heart speaking japanese and chinese together. Its a blessing. You are the best oriental pearl muah love and kisses.
    2
  15103. Wow you have a gift at editing videos! And you are one brave and adventurous young lady! I bet your parents are crazy proud of you. Keep the videos coming!!
    2
  15104. Glad you had Matt vs Japan on the channel! Love his content on the japanese language!
    2
  15105. I still remember the first time I saw this woman with blue eyes and blonde hair in my country, I was like 6 years old. I literally thought she was Cinderella and I kept complimenting her on how pretty she was. 😂
    2
  15106. "Yeah this is a rough area." The understatement of the year lmao Be safe out there
    2
  15107. Get in touch with other guys who can speak Chinese... and make a collaborative videos and for them to promote your Chanel too as well so that you can get more subscribers and viewers then you starts to make more money.
    2
  15108. Oriental Pearl yes... speak is one thing. Reading and writing is TOP Achievement. One needs to go to higher education for that. Bravo to you.
    2
  15109. I am a Russian who moved to China and I have NEVER got any of those comments from Russians. It's fun to see how differently people from different countries percieve the world
    2
  15110. Wow that's a lot different from the tourist areas Japan is famous for. I guess it's the same all round the world I live in Liverpool, U.K. There is a lot of tourist areas but a darker side as well.
    2
  15111. Calling someone fat is not the same unless there is malice behind it. Yes, things that Japanese (and other east asian) people say in your face like being fat is not common in the US. If you grow up there, it's no big deal. In the US, the stuff people say behind your back are worst.
    2
  15112. What a crazy video how the rickshaw driver also turned out to be half! For the record Aaliyah is gorgeous, but, thats beside the point. I am just fascinated not so much that Aayliah and Tekaski both speak fluent English and Japanese, but I presume with an American English accent and Japanese Japanese accent. That is so impressive to me.
    2
  15113. I will watch this content forever I love this. Inspiring me to learn Chinese. I started learning Tagalog, Albanian, and some Arabic but Chinese always seemed way too difficult and stuff like this really makes me want to start. I translated some words to chinese in google translate earlier to practice pronunciation
    2
  15114. The sad truth is that people hate because they are afraid of new things, new trends, new people. You’re doing amazing, keep learning.
    2
  15115. I would stay In Japan.....especially with what is going to happen.
    2
  15116. I love your videos. So interesting and I get to see places that I probably never will. Thank you so much. You and Tommy are a lovely couple.
    2
  15117. Mastering one Asian language is difficult enough. Being fluent in two is truly gifted.
    2
  15118. you’re so sweet ♥️
    2
  15119. Your Multilinguistic abilities are Superb, und du ist Sehr Schon 😜 , hope your clips inspire more people to take chances to communicate in another language 🙏
    2
  15120. So according to America because I I have wanted learn Japanese since I was kid I’m appropriating, what garbage. I’m learned traditional kyokishin style karate because of my love for Japanese culture. I’m trying to the Japanese language right which is hard but I love all things Japanese because it is spiritual for me.
    2
  15121. Dope video but Gusto??? Cmon girl lol
    2
  15122. @Oriental Pearl nice video. I think you are COOL and nice! Thank you for this awesome video. Happy New Year!
    2
  15123. Happy 10 or almost 10 year anniversary in Japan! It's very true that people open up when you open up to them! Keep up the goos work 😁
    2
  15124. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. How cool are these attractions especially Godzilla and the 1958 Japan recreation? Very cool. By the way. Do you get free ramen noodles at the museum? Man I could live on that stuff as main course and chocolate chip cookies with milk for dessert. Yumm! Also, very cool fireworks but too many people. I'm claustrophobic :-( . Take it easy :-) .
    2
  15125. Great to see you on your channel. You both must be very excited, you start your lives together, how lovely. You are so happy it just shows all over! I only send well wishes your way and (some rent money JK) 😁
    2
  15126. It's the same with any skill actually from learning a language, to drawing or painting.. you have to put in the effort to really gain that skill you want. your mind is your cheerleader, or if you're a pessimist then your mind is your basher.
    2
  15127. Already a tradition!
    2
  15128. it's only because she's going to the most popular areas for chinese like Chinatown in Yokohama is one of the biggest Chinatowns in Asia!
    2
  15129. Japanese kids are so fun to interact with and are at times not shy about approaching foreigners. For example, during my first trip to Japan I was visiting a temple in Kyoto and was wearing a t-shirt I'd got when I competed in a BJJ tournament in LA put on by Rickson Gracie. This was not long after Rickson had fought in Pride and merc'd Nobuhiko Takeda twice so he was very popular. There was a large group of middle school boys on a school trip and one of them spotted the shirt. The next thing I know I'm surrounded by about 20 of them shouting "Rickson, Rickson!!". They were convinced I must be some famous MMA fighter. Of course I was and still am absolutely nobody, and told them as much, but they weren't having it and all insisted I autograph whatever papers and booklets they happened to have. It was a surreal experience.
    2
  15130. Everyone is so kind hearted ❤️ 💓 🥰. I love how cool everyone is.Japan is a beautiful country and beautiful people .

  15135. @3:21 Guurl!! Same!!! But hopefully I'll get there 🤞🏼😄 fingers crossed.
    2
  15136. Kattie is very pretty and the way she smile it awesome my heart beat go faster.
    2
  15137. It's for this reason that I am learning to speak other languages to my native one. To be able to have an open conversation, and make a connection 😀 That and the fact that all languages have their own fascinating sounds and feelings 😀
    2
  15138. Thanks for this fun interview video! I first learned about Lisa on Tumblr when that was a thing. She's a real sweet heart!
    2
  15139. I was born in Tokyo, but emigrated to the U.S. when I was a kid. My parents were nikkei. We had to relocate to Tokyo because the post war discrimination against Japanese Americans made it impossible to live and work in California. So dad took sis and mom to Tokyo. I remember dad taking us to see Minami Senju. He felt it was important for us to see how difficult life was for Japanese after the war and how the burakumin were segregated from the rest of Japanese society. As a kid, I really did not understand what I was seeing, but when I moved back to Tokyo in 1970, I revisited this area and understood what it meant to be burakumin. Thank for introducing this to your viewers as it is important for foreigners to understand that there still is a caste system in effect in Japan. ありがとうね、頑張って、面白いトピックをつづいて使用形してね。
    2
  15140. Congrats on 1M! I have been rooting for you since November to cross over the 1M mark! Love your videos.
    2
  15141. So lucky to have these amazing opportunities, keep living the dream!👍
    2
  15142. Another great video showing what Japan is really like. The only way I can tell Japanese and Chinese writing apart is to look out for Hiragana and Katakana. I can tell the difference between the spoken language instantly though, they sound so different.
    2
  15143. Holy shit ur living the life of exchange student who sits in the protagonist chair O.o

  15150. Rather than carrying around a conspicuous camera for recording your videos you should consider buying a pair of the video camera eye-glasses that you wear hands free. I use them for fishing and hunting trips cause it allows me to fumble around with my fishing or hunting gear; all while filming. In your case I'd try to get them with clear non-prescription lenses and then just mount a set of the inexpensive flip-up tinted lenses on top of them. As long as you're not blocking the very small camera lens integral to the frame of the glasses you can go about your video making in an undetected and natural way. People tend to change their behavior when they see a camera. With these covert eye-glasses video cameras they are none the wiser unless you let them know you're recording. These video recording cameras are getting smaller and smaller. They also have one the is in the shape of a functional ink-pen that you just stick in your shirt pocket. The camera lens sits just above the top edge of the pocket and has a wide enough angle lens to allow for close personal video recording all with no one the wiser.

  15157. He's right when he says that it's kinder to help than ignore, but the time to do it is when they make the same mistake repeatedly. That way, they will get the most benefit from the correction and will probably feel relieved that they have been told. One-off mistakes should not be corrected, because you may be mistaken for a pedant and cause them some annoyance.

  15158. Love this so much!!! Oh my gosh, I miss living in Japan!

  15176. Polyglots feel Comfortable wen they dont understand anything. The best start. In fiew hours, they Adobt the most important sentences, just like a Mechaniker with tools, or mathFreek with Algorithm, or dancer with Music. Swimmer in the watter.etc. Every one creates His own rithmus for his element. I thing you could not learn German or Spanish. Its to Symple. But Arabic, Russian, and Ketschua. Could be a Chalenge for you. Complicated is symple, but symple is no Chalenge, fast loosing Interrest, for us. For Me anyway.

I really like your videos, I'm from Dominican Republic, and I'm also studying chinese and have a bachelor in International relations so I really feel identified with you and your videos, i went to 北京师范大学， 学了西个月的汉语了，I lived there and I really loved it, over here in my place i've been in different chinese restaurants and places and they give me free stuff too.. I think they're just very excited about foreigners can speak their language is amazing ahaha, keep doing your videos! I really like them! Greetings from this small island! :D
    2
  15181. You’re now my goals lol. YOU TOO started with Chinese then to Japanese purely through the study of language. I tripped when the girl mentioned New Zealand!
    2
  15182. Your stylist ROCKED your hair!! It looks amazing! I laughed about the packaging because I love that the food is usually individually wrapped because I hate folks touching over everything. Plus it's so pretty. When I came back last year from Tokyo and brought stuff to work, it was perfect to leave in the break room.
    2
  15183. You, "I'm not that pretty".... , yes you are, and clearly very intelligent, it doesn't get much better than that.

  15187. Please make the series you suggested.This was fascinating.

  15188. I think the japanese girls was wearing a copy of Highschool SOPA - School of Performing Arts Seoul, its really a famous school and theres many kpop idol who studied in there, biggest example is BTS jungkook, redvelvet seulgi, EXO/SuperM kai, EXO sehun, F(x) sulli and more

    2
  15201. OMG! This guy's Japanese sounds flawless! It's too bad though I really wanted to hear him speak Mandarin.
    2
  15202. Also. Your English accent sounds very Northern. Explains your kindness.
    2
  15203. Wow you know so many languages, you are amazing make more videos!

From the Beautiful Strand's of Atlantik and Midlemare till the Polarlights of Trömso. Now the next station is Japan. Isolated on an island, but able to travel in China, Korea Australia, Philipines, +++. I Need to Create a Base, This are the Infos you get by the Consulate, and this are true Experience's, maybe there are some Special move's necessary? You are our Eyes there.... (In Anming we Trust)👍👍👍

  15210. respect, I dream of such a level in Chinese!
    2
  15211. Woohoo! Go the Kiwi's!!! So proud of you loving both cultures. I am Samoan Maori and always loved all Asian cultures but mostly fascinated by the delicate female culture, the "no nails" architecture and mostly their ancestral history. I'm so jealous of you. Embrace the negative jibes. It builds character 😁 May your children grow healthy, happy and wise. ❤
    2
  15212. @ Oriental Pear Stay safe in Japan I see it was uoiur birthday happy birthday many more to come wish I was there
    2
  15213. Most importantly was not what they said but your reaction. For people to learn they need to have the safety net of considerate and caring people 🙂
    2
  15214. The kids are so CUTE!!! Fun story, my mom lived in Japan when she was about 2 years old or so and stayed there for around 2 years. While living there she attended school for about a day. She is about 50% African, so her skin is darker and her hair is curly. Apparently, the kids she was going to school with had never seen a curly haired black girl before and swarmed her. She did not like that at all, and as a result she stopped going to school. I find this story so funny, and I like how kids are just so innocently curious. Kids don't know or care about what is socially acceptable, they just want to know "why". I love kids.
    2
  15215. Very encouraging & awesome video! 👍

  15216. Ohhh this is interesting; guess I'll subscribe lol. Keep up the content Pearl, and buenas noches✌️

  15218. What’s your goal in life? Others: Buy a car, buy a Gucci bag, find my life partner, etc. Me: This
    2
  15219. They are "polyglots" AND they are also youtubers. Sure some of these videos are clickbaity and cringey BUT they can also be quite inspiring and entertaining. These videos also encourages people to pick up a new language and for beginners to not be shy and practice more. At the end of the day, as long as they are not making bullshit claims like "anyone can learn 3 languages in 6 months", it's all good.
    2
  15220. Just a few minutes and look how much Chinese and Japanese people there already adore you. It's amazing how learning a foreign language can help people break the ice, win heart and mind of people.
    2
  15221. I would of guessed you were from Spain judging your looks
    2
  15222. Love this
    2
  15223. I have a good ear and can pick up tones, stress, etc. This helps me sound more native but I have no advantage in learning grammar or vocabulary. Also, some cultures really praise any attempt no matter how poor at their language. I’ve studied Latvian, Ugandan and most were impressed at just a few words.
    2
  15224. I actually kept this "heyyyyyy" in my everyday language. After 4 trips to Japan, i guess it's normal to keep some habits....

  15226. Oriental Pearl it’s not so bad in the UK at the mo only the people who have been to Italy or China or one of the other restricted countries are having to self isolate for two weeks. The government are having COBRA meetings (emergency) meetings almost every day and the spring budget (government spending plan) was released yesterday. They said they would allocate 3 billion GBP (I think it was 3) to helping healthcare and sick pay. The next 2 weeks will be the worse as that’s when they think it will reach its peak here. Thank you for your vids and stay safe and well. Lots of love from Leeds, Yorkshire.
    2
  15227. It’s gotten bad here in Norway, but I usually spend most of my life indoors anyway because I’m sick. I really enjoy your videos - they brighten up my day!

  15228. What's her youtube name? Love this!
    2
  15229. The mattress story sounds to me like it was similar to a timeshare schpiel. Ugh, I feel so sorry you went through that. Such a disappointment. :( Love your vids. Keep up the great production.
    2
  15230. My type on the different side of the world😍💕
    2
  15231. Good interview. One thing I picked up from you is that even though I very much like Matt's approach of " immerse and don't force speaking and grammer". It's a valid approach. However, you've proven that being very diligent in a multi-angled approach is what'll get you fluent faster and probably more thoroughly. People that get too hung up on these "breakthrough methods" limit themselves. What I've come to understand is that the best method is basically the "old school" mindset of put in a ton of work and use a multi -angled approach of writing, reading, speaking and listening.
    2
  15232. Is it just me, or am I the only one who can't stop grinning while watching? Their reactions are so cute, and you handle those situations so well.
    2
  15233. The rickshaw guy is cute 😗
    2
  15234. Not every Japanese elderlies are xenophobic towards foreigners because the Japanese society overall is very polite and nice. But you will come across a few, regardless of age group, even kids who will act xenophobic towards foreigners. It’s just how it is in Japan because they don’t see foreigners often. At least it’s not racism, it’s more of a “we don’t see many people like you, therefore you are an outsider.” Type of situation. Usually it’s just one out of a hundred or thousands of people. But people tend to focus on just that one and make a big deal of it.
    2
  15235. Oh my gosh. Tonal languages! My ex is Vietnamese. It is so hard to speak. Still if you manage to say a few lines you build a connection. I actually sang at a Vietnamese wedding and got a standing ovation. I am a very good mimic.

  15236. This video put a huge smile on my face. You're amazing 😄

I WISH I could speak a FEW languages!! Lol!! Thankz again for sharing your Awesome adventure & experiences. Take Care.. Stay Bless and Stay Safe out there...

  15248. I am a Chinese, I would say one of the reasons that Chinese people think or say you are from Russia/Ukraine is because there are actually a big number of foreigners in China are from those countries. Many travels to China to work as models or actors and speak Chinese very well, many girls marry a Chinese husband, and that could be a reason that people think you are a Russian, Ukraine.
    2
  15249. Wow interesting.

  15252. I hope I can try this when I arrive in Tokyo. 😊😊😊
    2
  15253. Hmmm I feel like you put in way too little ads and I think 3 ads for a vid is better and I hope you can make youtube a platfrom for your income during these hard times!! And i loooveeee your videos i watched them again and again especially the ones where you speak chinese!!

    2

  15270. I absolutely loved this video, even though the music was a tad loud. Such a pleasant reaction from all the children and people.
    2
  15271. I love all of your videos and find them so incredibly interesting. I visited Japan just before the pandemic but unfortunately had to go back to Australia after only three days due to an emergency. I noticed in Tokyo that there are a lot of restaurants and cafes etc that people can still smoke in. Is this the case everywhere in Japan?
    2
  15272. Like👍👌👌

  15277. I love this channel, myself, a Brit, born in England and moved to North Wales as a child. I had to go too a Welsh speaking school until i was 11yrs old. Used to be fluent but over the years it has faded dramatically. The Asian culture is wonderfully diverse and fascinating as hell. Great channel, beautiful content, thank you for educating us all 😊❤😎
    2
  15278. Well both Chinese and Japanese are one of the harder languages in the world to learn, so it's no wonder their respective citizens would be impressed that a foreigner can speak fluently, it proves to them that you've put a lot of effort into learning it. English on the other hand is universal and one of the easiest language to learn, so even if you're from a non-English speaking country nobody really cares if your fluency is perfect or not in those English speaking countries Still, those are some very good pronunciations, respect
    2
  15279. Did you study chinese in Beijing? I have studied Chinese language for 3 months in Guilin. Now I go to chinese class one a week aside my major. I would like to go back to china and master my chinese because I think I make less progress having class ones a week than studying fulltime in China. Can you recommend going to 北京师范大学？

  15280. I would love to study and live in Japan and Korea. They both have cute bears...

  15281. I want to learn your social skills and not being paranoid about what people say around me) I need to talk to random people more, it's so s8mple, yet I'm making a big deal out of it. Thanks for this video!
    2
  15282. Your videos are truly awesome! I hardly use to hold a long conversation in my own language. I guess I'm not so talkative 😅. But it's amazing to see that!
    2
  15283. NO! You are so not “stupid.” You were just distracted with the filming, paying, socializing... it happens 👍☺️.
    2
  15284. Your editing has improved immensely 🤗

  15294. I love your videos. At first when I saw this channel I just didn’t like your videos no offense, I just don’t know why. But honestly you know so much about other cultures and are very respectful. Many people are having anxiety and fear rn but you just gotta stay strong during these hard times, through every dark night there’s a bright day after that, So no matter how hard it get stick ya chest out keep ya head up and handle it.....

  15295. From my experience they always just throw you there and expect you to preform with very little if any prep time.

  15300. the pretty white girl who speaks fluent Japanese has no idea why people are so nice to her ! lol i lke you and your series (I'm from Michigan too) but come on! lol if you were not good looking or you were a man, reactions would be different and understandably so...not everyone is or can be a fluent, pretty young girl you should acknowledge that at least I think.
    2
  15301. I would speak English to japanenese People who can understand English. If I understand Japanese I would expect the Japanese person to speak Japanese. That way we can learn from one another. It’s a win win.
    2
  15302. Oriental Pearl ¿Cuántos idiomas hablas? y realmente suenas bien cuando hablas... tienes buen acento y tambien nose si podrías colocar colores a los subtitulos asi para enterder mejor quien habla y quien responde

  15304. Thank you for sharing this you and Matt 😊 I’m Japanese and half Korean, I speak fluent in both Japanese and korean. Including English because I was raised in America from 4th grade all the way up to college in U of M. so yeah I completely understand where you’re both coming from.

  15305. Where was this in Tokyo? I want to play Beyblades with these kind people when I visit.
    2
  15306. More videos of your adventures through Tokyo please! I had two trips to Japan in the last year which were cancelled so this is my way of still being there.
    2
  15307. Such a cool lady. Very inspiring and such a positive energy. Thank you for your videos 😊
    2
  15308. I feel like even though there are millions of people in Tokyo, in Harajuku everyone knows each other
    2
  15309. Wonderful Japanese.......you should be proud.....
    2
  15310. All that’s left to blow everyone away is some Spanish 😂
    2
  15311. Thank you for making a title that does not include your skin color. There are other idiots on youtube that do that just for attention. Also.... HOLY CRAP THEY ARE PLAYING ANCIENT BEYBLADES XD
    2
  15312. Thanks for your advice at the end - I want to support your channel and it was easy to let the video roll to the end instead of clicking off early. I’ll keep that in mind as a way to better support my favorite content creators

  15313. Otoh, speaking conversationally is one of the last skills to develop if you are not immersed and especially if you are autodidactic. But YouTube is not conducive for showing off reading knowledge. But reading comp is critical and you don’t have to worry about a bad accent and you can improve greatly on your own. How many immigrants to the us excel at college but have a strong accent? Most are high level at reading and listening and even writing but not speaking.
    2
  15314. Totally amazing how easily you switched between languages. Very impressive
    2
  15315. You know you're fluent when you switch back and forth without missing a beat. Incredible! Keep it up!

  15316. Disabled yet soooooo beautiful😍

  15317. She sounds so cool when she speaks Japanese. She must have put a lot of effort in.

  15318. There is sometimes a murky line between cultural appropriation an cultural appreciation, but this is clearly the latter!! :)
    2
  15319. So lovely. This kind of sweet reactions are one of my reasons, why I started learning chinese (only a few months ago, but I will continue :) ). Greetings from germany from a new subscriber.

  15320. Later I'm actually soy intolerant

  15321. You’re such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your Asian culture experience and language journey.

  15323. GIRL YOU ARE SO UNDERATED! Currently I'm learning japanese and Spanish and its hard.. Wish me luck!
    2
  15324. your accent is japanese is so cute !! i wanted to know something since you were an exchange student in japan (right ?) i'm planning on having an erasmus there too but i don't know what courses i will attent, do we get to choose new courses when we are exchange students ? or do the people organising it just choose something similar to our major ? because i am currently doing a language licence in japanese/german with a minor in communication but if i can choose something new during the exchange program it'd be amazing !
    2
  15325. Omg! I just found Kelly's channel like 2 days ago!!! I had no idea y'all knew eachother!!!! Awesome! Hopefully some more collabs coming! 💖💯
    2
  15326. Ohh what a beautiful video,people tend to stereotype Japan. Vending machines. Anime. Sushi. All those fun things. But what about humans? I shall donate right now,dear Oriental Pearl to the homeless in Japan,as I do,to the homeless in my country. ❤️❤️😊
    2
  15327. .....I naturally smiled as well, not much of that these days, Thankyou x

  15328. This is a great video, they always make me motivated while I’m learning, studying and practicing speaking Korean

  15331. I'm really enjoying your videos! Please keep them coming. By the way, there just might be more people than you realize interested in your thesis and the details surrounding it-a much shortened version ofc but interesting nonetheless!
    2
  15332. nah, America number 1, especially their politicians, CIA and FBI or police.
    2
  15333. The only 2 reasons why I wanna learn Japanese so bad 1. To watch anime without subs amd read raw manga 2. When time comes that I'm finally in Japan, I can't feel any language barrier.
    2
  15334. (Climbing a tricky flight of uneven steps in dainty sandals) ... "Don't be afraid to make mistakes" Lol! I like it.

  15335. Well honestly my top favorites are JJ you Luca kauf yeah .others just do a little smattering to gain subscribers

  15336. Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷. 👍
    2
  15337. Can't wait to hear you speaking Cantonese! Definitely, not the easiest dialect/language to learn. But I'm sure you'll pick it up fast!
    2
  15338. My daughter is learning Korean, and I'm learning Polish. Chinese being one of my target languages one day. My daughter is always studying, speaking, writing and reading. She immerses herself in the language every day (mainly with BTS - don't tell her I said that 😂😂,) But everything you said is true. Whatever languages we are studying, you won't become fluent or speak very well with putting in the effort (I'm talking to myself 😂😂) Thank you! 🙏🏾🇬🇧
    2
  15339. You don't have to do a video of your wedding (of course), but maybe a photo slideshow, and maybe talk about the ceremony? I am interested in how Catholic Ceremonies and weddings in general happen in Japan. Thanks so much for showing us a glimpse into your life!

  15340. Amerika is not taking the virus serious , late info and communication is led by poor leadership. Als the health system is very bad in US.

  15341. I love you. You are so friendly and beautiful. Nice speaking in another language. Greetings from The Netherlands.

  15342. Been watching your videos for so long and today i find out we are both from Detroit.

  15343. Great topic, thanks for the video 📸🇯🇵🇯🇵.
    2
  15344. That guy is crazy going swimming 😀
    2
  15345. You must have a natural aptitude for speaking foreign languages. It surprised me when you switched from Chinese to Japanese. I think it would take me years to learn Chinese.
    2
  15346. This was so heartwarming to watch! I'm so glad it worked out with everyone meeting!
    2
  15347. Beautiful woman
    2
  15348. oh my goodness, that japanese guy playing queen was awesome

  15349. You didn't try!! 😂😂 Trying new food is always a moment of tension.
    2
  15350. That game they are playing is called beigoma
    2
  15351. I love being able to experience these different cultures vicariously through you. Now I just need you to record every experience there is in the world and I never have to go exploring on my own!
    2
  15352. Rody brought me here. It’s nice to meet you. Subbed you.
    2
  15353. Nothing shocking at all when a foreigner who can speak Japanese language inside Japan, it is because you are a clever and respectful person unlike many stupid foreign tourists.
    2
  15354. Heterosexual male chiming in... yeah your husband is beautiful

  15355. An Ming, you've heard of the old trick for getting over stage fright right? (Imagine your audience naked...) I was thinking, what if there was a little mind trick one could use when trying to get up the nerve enough to talk to a stranger in their own language in a foreign country? And I think I may have found one. Just imagine yourself in your own hometown doing some shopping when a tourist walks up to you and asks you a simple question in your own language. Would you answer it? Of coarse you would. Wouldn't you then also be just a little bit curious to hear why he (or she) can speak your language, and why they have come to your town? And because of this curiosity maybe even end up talking to him (or her) a little after you have answered said question? And if he (or she) during that exchange then pronounces a few words wrong or uses the wrong word every now and then, would that offend you or make you angry? No of course not! So ask yourself, why would a Japanese man (or woman) in Japan react badly if you walked up to them and asked them a simple question in Japanese and then tried to talk to them a little? You wouldn't be annoyed if the shoe was on the other foot would you? That little mind trick, to put yourself on the other side of the situation, maybe all that's needed to pluck up your courage enough to take that first step... And sure, as you have mentioned in a couple of videos, it's entirely possible that the person you walk up to is a sourpuss, is very busy or is very shy, and therefore ignores you... But is that on you? And what have you lost for trying? Nothing I'd say ('cause the red on your face is free, and non permanent...) I know you don't need this trick yourself An Ming (your'e brave enough without it), but maybe others can use it, what do you think?
    2
  15356. That's probably because 70 % of viewers does not speak Chinese or Japanese. I don't speak either of those I just enjoy Asian folks gets surprised by a Caucasian speaking an Asian language. For what it's worth... I'll subscribe.😇

  15357. El español de Wouter aquí es extraordinario quitando un pequeño error.

  15358. I started using Hellotalk 5 years ago to learn chinese. As you know, Chinese is mainly ruled by one frustrating principe : 语感. As a french person, this concept was really frustrating to make any improvement. I tried to practice with chinese people at first, but you also know that chinese people rarely correct people because 人们要给你面子. Plus, you spend more time correcting them than improving your own skills (especially to Chinese students, but I finally understood why). So I stopped using these app, decided to move with my wife in China (She is chinese, but not a good language partner hahaha), and started courses in BLCU. After 3 years of intense study, by selecting carefully my language partner (who later on became my best friend), I finally reached HSK6. Before starting a master of translation, I decided to give Hellotalk another chance because I wanted to practice 文言文 and 古文, at least, I wanted to find someone able to help me improve this difficult part of chinese language, barely studied by a large part of foreigners. Soon have I realized these language partners were not ready to share, because the level of language (文言文) was too bothersome for them to bear. So I went back with my best friend and started studying that new world of chinese, offline. Now as a junior chinese-french translator, I would recommend to study diligently minimum 3-4 hours a day with books, dedicate some time to find the most adequate language partner , and try to do a language project with this partner (time, goal to be reached, transparency and good spirit). I strongly disapprove the use of languages apps like Duolinguo or Rosetta Stone to learn Chinese, because this language is mainly based on 语感, minor grammar rules, and a strong influence of 古文, when you start studying pretty advanced text in 书面语. Thanks Oriental Pearl for being honest and insightful when you share your language journey.

  15359. I've learnt japanese just to have a small talk with the elders ..it's worth it

  15362. She is amazing! I'm bilingual but learning Chinese and Japanese that fluently is in another level completely! I want to learn Japanese so bad! lol
    2
  15363. It’s funny how it’s always white people who are complaining about colonialism. The fact that they dislike you “showing off” means simply that they’re jealous and frustrated with their own progress. As a mexican polyglot here, I was really inspired by Wouter’s videos and I hope to be able to speak more than 25 languages next year. Yeah, most polyglot youtubers come from Europe and the US and we could say it’s because they’ve got lots of privileges, but there are many interesting polyglots in Latin America too, like Pedro Perebal, who comes from Guatemala and can speak more than 14 languages. NO EXCUSES! Thanks a lot for this video.
    2
  15364. Thank you these videos are great for learning Japanese as well after you learn a few words
    2
  15365. This is so cool I'm studying JLPT N3 level atm but really wanna study Chinese after I get JLPT1, these 2 languages are both so beautiful and challenging, you speak them so well, mad respect!

  15366. Turning your weaknesses into your strengths? Respect sister.

  15367. i want to visit that guiatr store and jam
    2
  15368. The cadence of your English is interesting as an American. I think I watched enough of these kinds of videos from different channels to be able to detect a change to your American accent and intonation. Or maybe I am just imagining things, idk haha.

  15369. Loved this fun video Anming with your friend Richard and R2D2.

  15376. Revisiting this video because that pigeon attack is too funny! Lol currently showing this to my friends on discord.

  15377. There is a dynamism in becoming immersed in different cultures that is a benefit for all. The more diverse an ecosystem is, the stronger it becomes.

  15378. she kinda reminds me of scandal band mami with her hairstyle hehe :P
    2
  15379. I have been a fan of Sam for about 10 years now and he gets a lot of hate because of his confidence or because he is confident and overweight. People can't understand how he can be comfortable with himself and so they hate him for it. They try and put him down because if his weight but the people who try and put him down are actually the real insecure ones.
    2
  15380. That’s Jess!! She’s my friend! Nice
    2
  15381. Congratulations, you guys seem like a great couple and I'm excited for you!

  15388. That looks like a dreamland, anyways keep up the good content

  15389. I do not understand the negative comment other than people being so jealous that they lash out! Great role model this woman, thank you for this part 2 of the interview! ✌️👍
    2
  15390. Actually you not only speak japanese.you totally follow there accent and style.You are so good.Continuously watching your videos. Can you share your way of learning like if we learn kotoba, kanji and bunpo, where to use it and make it perfect. Or should i focus on reading part first and then go for speaking. Please share your views. I really want to improve my Japanese.
    2
  15391. i would like do a duet with her, looks like a nice person <3

  15394. Thanks for the advice in learning a new language ! I’m learning Hebrew and you give good advice on learning! תודה רבה /Thank you very much !
    2
  15395. I've been watching YouTube polyglots for probably close to a decade now and it's been fascinating to see who's become popular and how the landscape has changed. It's also been interesting to see people's levels in the languages I have some knowledge in now (Spanish & Korean) since I didn't know anything in either in the beginning. Now I have the ability to see through the cracks of people's abilities in these languages and it's really opened my eyes to how "good" these people are. Glad that this video was made and wasn't made in order to criticize people but more to spread awareness on the fact that some of our favorite language learning Youtubers are actually being dishonest in some sense.
    2
  15396. You are so pretty, how was it learning Chinese and Japanese
    2
  15397. So wholesome!
    2
  15398. In what language do you think, and process thoughts?

  15399. Your spare time = Our fun time! That was a close shave with your visa issue so glad it's sorted out for now at least.

  15400. That was fun to watch.

  15401. I like so much these videos are awesome and funny at the same time i would like to visit japan someday.

  15402. I'am so happy for you and Tommy. Enjoy these beautiful moments.

  15403. Nice, I'm still studying Mandarin

  15407. Aww great I thought I was gonna be the coolest person in Japan being Mexican and speaking Japanese
    2
  15408. I really enjoyed your video and all of the people you encountered. It feels nice and made me smile. I love Japanese culture and would love to visit all of the islands someday.

  15409. It's definitely allowed, Congrats to her. Such courage. 👍

  15410. you have Chinese accent when you speak Japanese 🤣
    2
  15411. The snowboarding, what are the snow columns called? It looked so incredible. What an amazing experience we are getting to see through your eyes 😍 It looks so unreal, like another planet. Beautiful !
    2
  15412. I got “unsubscribed” by YouTube. This happens a lot to me on other channels. If you have alt places that you post, let us know! Pretty sure they do this on the regular to anyone who offends them. Ironically probably a pearl clutcher that did it. Bitchute, Gab and other places don’t do this and it can’t hurt to upload as many spots as possible.
    2
  15413. I think this is not final step, no no no... this is a first step in your new great family. Congratulations I wish you all the best in your life (and many great kids also.😉😊) Best regards from Ukraine 🇺🇦

  15414. What’s the girl with with the bright colour’s Instagram? She seems cool af

  15415. I lived in Shanghai for 10 years. Just got back to the States this year. I miss the people, food, culture. Everything. I made the mistake of living with my native-Chinese girlfriend who I met through work. Her English was incredibly good, that we always spoke in English together. We tried; One day English, next day Mandarin. But English was just too easy.
    2
  15416. Eh, doing this has much more to do with being shy or lack of confidence rather than language ability. I couldn't pull this off even in my own country or any English-speaking country. And yet I pulled it off a few times in Akihabara last year with a completely broken collection of one-word sentences in Japanese! But I think small talk is super hard when you don't have that empathizing mindset. I hate small talk, and small talk is expected in situations like these. I just don't care about the weather, the food, or what they're wearing or how many days they work per week. I'd rather talk specific things. The few people I approached in Akihabara were idols, musicians and artists so the topic was already there. And they're probably used to talking to strangers. Made some friends doing it too.
    2
  15417. Many people can't tell the difference between the Australian and Kiwi accents whereas it's very clear and obvious to us. Still, my (late) wife and I spent a month in Canada and the US and we couldn't tell the difference!
    2
  15418. Anming displays a level of confident risk-taking in social situations that I am trying to attain. I live in California, but I think I am only about 60% of her level.
    2
  15419. This was awesome. I'm from Detroit and thought it was the perfect introduction for him. Except you should have gone to Lafayette Coney Island!

  15420. being of mix heritage can be challenging and often times those of us who are mixed are required to choose.. like katie .. japanese or US nationality.. .I am also mixed heritage Thai / American but when I joined the US army that pretty much defaulted my options and the Dept of the Army sent a letter on my behalf to the Thai Government renouncing my Thai Citizenship, however.. if your not employed by either government directly.. i would work toward keeping both nationalities.. "the USA follows the ‘master nationality’ rule, which means it recognizes only the US nationality of an individual" but does NOT require the individual to renounce another countries recognized nationality... so i am looking into getting my Thai nationality recognized by the Thai government again.

  15423. Me, living in Korea. Can read the language perfectly but still suck at vocabulary and structure. Two years and I’m still working on it. You’re so impressive 😮
    2
  15424. I have no idea why some people find it bad to do your best to fit in with the culture of the country that you are moving to and living in. It just shows that you have interest in the country that is now your home.

  15425. Cool video now im wondering if ther will be an aussie Arc

  15426. As Japanese, this is really interesting for me. Now I can speak English but I used to be like those who don't speak English at all

  15430. My inspiration, love your videos. They give me an insight and goals to do well so I thrive for this sort of living also. Housing costs , no joke. 😊

  15431. What in the World am I missing here? Japan is looking pretty diverse. I thought this was New York at the beginning of the video. Maybe I need to get out more and see the World, Lol
    2
  15432. This happens when you live in a foreign country for too long. I speak fluent French when i am really mad.
    2
  15433. Yeah this is probably what I will do as well when I get to go to Tokyo. I do watch some Anime but I don’t remember characters or anything because I kinda watch it in bulk xD, I also photograph Cosplay so that would be an interesting part to see for me :).
    2
  15434. Congratulations U2 ❤️ 👦 👩 ❤️
    2
  15435. Great way to deal with hate talk - putting them all on blast. It shows everyone else how ugly they are. They don't expect you to reveal their hideousness to everyone and it catches them off guard. The worst thing to do is hold onto it alone and let it dissolve you. You aren't alone. We all get it at some point(s) or other because humans have a tendency to treat others like absolute shit.
    2
  15436. 4:00 - I love how he broke from the pack to come visit you even as the rest were hesitant. So cool!
    2
  15437. Shirakawago keeps popping up every where in my YT feed, so I guess it can't be THAT creepy! It looks amazing in the winter though!

  15447. I’m one week into studying Mandarin (TPRS/comprehensible input strategy). Your videos are super entertaining and useful to people like me, thanks! Hoping to visit Japan in August if the cases continue to drop
    2
  15448. The consonant and vowel pronunciation in finnish is very similar to Japanese. The syntax is also very similar. It's not a typical European language.
    2
  15449. Love you're smile 😊
    2
  15450. These are always good fun. I've been watching for like 2+ years, now? I hope to be watching for decades to come :) Thanks for the videos.
    2
  15451. Thanks for helping me understand this, as someone learning Chinese I've often felt very uncomfortable when people always say "your chinese is so good!" when obviously it isn't. This kinda hurts my feelings as it makes me feel like they have lower expectations for me, and also that when I do get better, they'll still say the same thing, so it won't acknowledge progress or value the hard work I put into this. I think I understand it more now. Also, I've watched a few of your videos. I understand it hurts audio quality, but I think you should wear a mask. I think people might be a bit hesitant to speak to you because of it, and it might make them feel more comfortable participating in your videos. I don't know if I can prove anything about masks or not, just that it's the local culture there and could make people feel more comfortable.

  15454. You and Blondie in China need to help heal the very wounded relations between the western world (US, UK, Australia) and China. These 2 factions just cant get along with each other.

  15459. You’re a good investigative reporter. Unlike most Youtubers based in JPN who tend to describe JPN as a paradise, you show JPN as it is, including its negative aspects. Keep up the good work.:face-blue-smiling:

  15487. Thank you for this view into the shadowy corner of Tokyo. I had wondered what the city's "solution" looked like, and now I know!
    2
  15488. Loved the onsen part. I went to a hot springs with my Japanese side family. It was truly magical. There’s sadness in the generation of older people that they won’t be replaced much less revered. It is part of the aging of Japan. The affluence that they achieved in the 70’s and forward resulted in young people not producing kids. The Japanese society is very homogeneous and reticent to foreigners. The result is now what we see. The government hasn’t addressed how to fix the elderly population. Japan is depopulating, so they need to find a solution.

    2
  15500. OP, do more videos while you are buzzed!!
    2
  15501. Lovely. Though in Sapporo, Hokkaido speaking Japanese to locals seemingly impresses them less in my experience. There are quite a few foreigners even outside of international students. Locals still appreciate it if you make an effort to speak Japanese. Trust me, you'll understand them better if you use English as a last resort than if you put them on the spot and they start struggling. Don't be afraid to pause, repeat, ask to repeat if you didn't understand. People are generally patient esp when they see you making an effort.
    2
  15502. Most rural areas are super friendly.
    2
  15503. I would give her a long hug and a few big kisses! Kiss on the mouth. Fuck Corona. I wish I didn't live so far away and I wish you learned how to speak in multiple languages. This girl is amazingly beautiful and if I had the opportunity to I would make her mine.

  15517. Thank you. You are Not Japanese. What I mean is that most people speak their native language fast. You not being Japanese you speak slower and, I can understand you better.

  15518. I love pig Ears! But I haven't had them with those mixed vegetables! Will definitely try adding those next time! It's a Southern American dish!

  15520. Oh Dennys, bad food but cheap 😎

  15521. Congrats to both of you. And what a gorgeous, gorgeous dress! All the best to you two. BTW, was the wedding at St. Mary’s church followed by a dinner at Chinzanso? I only ask this because I went to kindergarten at St. Mary’s. I’ve been living in the US for 39 years, and the video of my childhood places brought back lots of fun memories. Thank you.

  15525. Honestly, this was the content I subscribed for. And you should TOTALLY DO TWITCH. It has been growing rapidly since it first came out and it is owned by Amazon so it's not going anywhere. I use it more than Youtube these days. The amount of money you can earn as a stream is absolutely ridiculous. They have built-in sponsorships for people who get high views (Example, play a new game on release day for $10,000 per hour if you're one of the top streamers) (Usually someone with 500+ viewers might get a smaller sponsorship). Sponsorships aside, people can subscribe to you for $5. You get $2.50 of that. Once you becom "Partnered" to Twitch, you get $3.50 per subscriber instead of $2.50. Also in Twitch culture, donating is huge, you will get tons of donations also. It's still a good opportunity. I would watch anything you did on Twitch because you're interesting :)

  15526. Hallo Anming, small talk between people can sometimes be more ice breaking and interesting than well spoken deep conversations. Been there, done it all and got the tea shirt over decades here in Germany. Don't remeber if I have mentioned this before but my German is surely no where as good as your Chinese or Japanese. I learned it only by ear and never visited a school class. I've heard it all from people over decades. From "Oh your German is so great" at a time where I knew It wasn't that great at all, but someone was just being very nice and polite. Then "how nice that you have have acclimated so well, many foriegners don't really try". However the hit was "Oh your American, I thought you just spoke poor German".... that person didn't even flinch with an eye at the thought that it could possibly be an insult. 😂😂😂😂However all in all the majority of experiences are positve. I've been here so long now that the quality of my pronounciation or grammar barely comes up even though it's still not that great. I must say I am amazed at your perfection which I can hear without even understanding a word of Chinese or Japanese. Joking in a foreign language is a stronge indication of perfection. After experiencing living in a different country other than ones mother language for so long I can feel the intensity and see in the reactions when people are honest or just going along with a conversation. I would say the majority are not only truely surprised, but radiate a respect for your interest and expertise in their mother tounge. I can only say keep going girl your on a good path for your future. When you look back in a couple of decades I'm sure you will remember that sometimes it was a bumpy road but absolute lovely path and well worth stumbling here and there. Wish you the best on the way and may you encourage many to follow your path, as people growing together is always a positive thing. Greetings from Germany to you and Tommy.....Robert

  15527. Tokyo is consdered to be one of the most expensive cities in the world, now I know why. Thanks for showin us your living situaution up to now as well as your new spcace which looks really nice. Great use of spaces. Always excited to watch your videos.
    2
  15528. Oh that country you visited was a really nice country. It’s one of the hidden gem IMO. Every one knows Thailand but not everybody knows about Burma

  15538. The uni reminded me of my old footage and I almost got my first oversea job in the very first epidemic core in Europe but the viral attack postponed it and am sure that my adventure won’t restart again. I want to live as you did. The west pacific from Russia, Japan , China, to Singapore, Indonesia, Australia + West Coast US, Canada, New Zealand will be the most interesting and diverse area on Earth in 21st century. Every country has completely different culture and civilization to its neighbor. Compared a decade years ago, we visit each other much more often and have much more knowledge on each other. More and more people will want to live like you
    2
  15539. You. Are. Awesome!!! When I left Japan, the number one thing I told people who were interested in the language was to make mistakes and not be afraid!! It took me several months before I could really say anything when I was in Japan because I was so afraid of insulting someone or embarrassing myself. Thank you so much for being such an incredible example of that!! The people in my class who really made it were like that too! They just loved using the language no matter how well they did and they quickly got over mistakes. I was so much more cautious. I haven't finished this video yet (had to stop and comment), but I wonder if you will share any tips on how you got to the point where you just did care if you made a mistake? How did you overcome the fear of rejection and the awkwardness of saying things wrong? I think we find this to be true in our native language too!!

  15540. EVERYONE SUBSCRIBE LOL LIKE THE VIDEO- thumbs up🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🙌🙌 love this channel

  15550. "I'm a film maker. Wanna come see?" What kind of films I wonder? This isn't sketch at all LOL. Finding a Japanese person that speaks perfect Chinese was a first. We were the ones that got surprised for once. Seems like a good place to make your style of vids!
    2
  15551. Oriental Pearl they say if you talk someone mother language in a sudden you will get the best reaction 🤣🤣yesterday i just talked in English to British girl and you know how fast the British English is she was buying beef in a supermarket no one could talked to her and understood what she wanted until i stepped in and she swear i am American thanks to my fluent American accent she said that after a week of knowing her 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  15552. Wow! You are really committed to learning another language. I'm in awe, I'm still struggling to learn enough Japanese to be able to survive as a tourist (and I've just booked to go to Japan with the family in April next year.)
    2
  15553. Congrats!!!.... you looked Beautiful, i wish you both so much Happiness and may all your Dreams come true...

  15558. The Spider Troupe music completely threw me off; but man was it amazing. Instant flashbacks to my first times ever hearing Japanese in HxH.
    2
  15559. I don’t get some people who would criticize her … when people from many different backgrounds and circumstances came to America, past and present, whether their intent was to immigrate from the start to have a new beginning for themselves and/or families or came on a temporary basis for work/school but then felt a connection to America and decided they wanted to be a part of this great experiment, most of us see that as a good thing. Most of us would welcome the future positive contributions these would be new citizens could make to our country. People who would want to come here in the USA fell in love with one or more things about what and who we are … so why is that so hard for these critics of her to understand she feels this way about Japan or for that matter any other country that she found a place in her heart for … it makes no sense other then just simple ignorance … just my 2¢ … btw great video again 👍
    2
  15560. I think most Japanese don’t care about the color that you are. It’s more the purity of being in Japanese. They normally don’t say anything about it but it’s part of who they are. That’s why the blood type you are even mean something to them they think different but they have nothing against the color you are. And of course they’re getting angry at foreigners because of what’s been going on lately, but it’s not like they don’t want you there just getting annoyed. in which you can understand. Sorry for the long for comment I love what you do don’t stop 👍👏🫶

  15561. You said “Dude..”

  15562. Im not afraid to say it out loud... VOLDEMORT! There you have it people 😏

  15563. That was a fine haircut! These guys are good. Oh, your whimsy sunny window again. :D Fun video, thanks for sharing.
    2
  15564. Just wanted to say thank you for being who you are. After my first few months of living in Japan I had a very hard time communicating with people here. It really destroyed my confidence to approach and talk to people. I've developed a fear of reaching out now. But seeing your confidence, and the reactions that you got has inspired me to get over my fears and try all over again...
    2
  15565. This vlog highlights the fact that a third-world situation can exist in a modern society. The Japanese are aware of this. To solve it requires the concerted effort from both the government and people.
    2
  15566. Girl, your costume was so awesome!! 🥰🥰 I can’t believe the some people didn’t know the movie Kill Bill. I got it right away. You look great 👍🏾. There were so many pretty girl costumes. I never liked doing pretty girl costumes. I always go to ComicCon, and I always like to do monster costumes. I like my costume to look like a Sci-fi movie. I hope comic con will start up again here in the US for 2022. I really miss going. thank you for sharing your Halloween.
    2
  15567. Your Chinese is so goooood!!
    2
  15568. Pearl, I'm intereste: why do Chinese peole come to Japan but not integrate more in the language. They seem to stay more to themselves in their communities? Why do they do that? Usually, when someone goes to another country it's to experience the people, the culture and what have you. The Chinese seem to be more isolated, and that seems like a great loss for them. Thanks for the vid.

  15576. It always feels good seeing somebody so happy when you can speak their language!

  15577. Love the real life video!
    2
  15578. Perhaps you could introduce a simple phrase or word with each video for people to learn?
    2
  15579. I love ur content so much anming!! you’ve inspired me to learn more languages!

  15583. Ah lovely to see Yokohama! That's where I'll be moving to most likely :) People are so nice and friendly! Just that small area seems like a place you can explore for days! ^_^

  15584. Ahh that was lovely ! Just for the silliness of it!😂😂🖖

  15585. JJsays has 133k subscribers while Oriental Pearl has 134k subscribors.How coincidental🤔
    2
  15586. Im so glad the interviewer acknowledged that this girls experience must be hard. This in itself is a beautiful healing moment where someone opens up and is heard /acknowledged ❤
    2
  15587. That pure joy and amazement. He is adorable. How come you are staying in the states? 😭
    2
  15588. I love the view , Just beautiful from here !

  15589. I loved the video i would love to visit Japan but I don’t know any Japanese! It was really inspiring to see both of you speak Japanese
    2
  15590. Never had I realized I'm a polyglot myself as well. I speak & write Chinese, English, C/C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python and more. Sry, I'll see myself out... Thread.Abort();

  15591. I love your videos! Now I want to learn Chinese from a Harbin native! The best of the best! Do you feel the "ChineseClass101" are Harbin natives?
    2
  15592. I feel like Japanese people are more respectful that's why they don't act surprised
    2
  15593. 500k now wow! In no time I know you'll make it to a million 😊 congrats and I know this video will be fun, can't wait
    2
  15594. I want to at least live in Japan for a few months so I can really experience it but I doubt I'd ever live there long-term, and thats just because I know I'll never get use to earthquakes. I'm from New York and we don't do earthquakes over here cause its something that doesn't happen in the east coast. lol I don't think intense ground shaking and falling objects is something I can just occasionally live with.
    2
  15595. because you are white? i mean come on :DDDD
    2
  15596. This was a hard comparison. Okinawa is a tiny little island 1/2 the size of Maui. Philippines is much much larger. But you did a very good job.
    2
  15597. It might be hard to make these videos but the final product makes it look effortless! It's nice seeing real conversations and not the guided magic tricks you get on some other channels cough cough
    2
  15598. Great attitude and great taste in guitar pedals!
    2
  15599. Nice work ladies! Everyone is so closed minded it's really unfortunate to still see that in 2020.

  15600. Hey hey hey I'm earlyyyy

  15601. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! This was a pleasure to watch! really enjoyed those off the cuff edits 8)

  15602. Governments don't live next to each other, people do.
    2
  15603. You're getting closer to Saga. My ex is from that area so you could go all over Kyushu and it would brings back similar memories for me. It's so "country" out there and in my opinion it's so much more fun and authentic than always just being in the bigger cities. A different kind of fun maybe but fun nonetheless. Of course I haven't visited those areas in nearly 20 - 25 years but my memories are still fond. Anyway love the videos as always. I get to see Japan again after so many years but now through your eyes and it's really a treat.
    2
  15604. No foreigners in Japan rn because of Covid but hopefully everyone can come to Japan soon. Miss seeing many tourists in Shibuya. ( by native Japanese)
    2
  15605. This reminds me of alphaville song “big in Japan” lol
    2
  15606. A very touching summary of events. Thank you for being the encourager you are. I'm sure there are many who highly value all you are doing. We are on stay home in San Diego. It's a bit eerie to see the walkways and highways sparce with activity. I am still able to work my full time job (essential), but not the part time. We will come out of this stronger, wiser, more resourceful and united, both as a nation and as a global community!

  15610. I’ll offer a different point of view perhaps: sometimes people don’t care if they’re legit or not; remember they might be watching purely for entertainment purposes.

  15616. One of the easiest topics for you to discuss in another language is about learning the language itself. Like talking about how did you learn it, how long did it take, and so on. Probably because you have discussed a lot about that with your teacher or something. And it's easy to see that those YouTubers can't really move beyond this topic and from saying random things about the other person's country

  15619. I am from Germany but speak Cantonese. Canton people flip out when they hear me speaking because the language is so comparatively rare. They are so deeply grateful for foreigners taking an interest in their language, history, and culture. I lived in Hong Kong for two years and fell in love with the language. It is not for everyone but it is very unique. My favorite is to make jokes in the language and invent new phrases that make sense in English and are "TECHNICALLY" correct in Cantonese but no one would ever say these, so for me they are pretty funny to use in conversation.
    2
  15620. I think this is your best video so far. Thanks

  15621. OMG! You had me laughing! I was already subscribed but I hit that bell. I hope that helps because your spirit is what this world need right now. Keep being a positive influence. Haters gonna hate.

  15625. Japan thinks statues is their GOD when I went in 2016 I talked to some of them why they think that their culture can make them enter hell instead of heaven there are Japanese that believe in the God we all know the only thing I can say about Japan that’s different then any other country is that are very clean no garbage found on the floor they don’t yell or make loud noise they don’t steal you can leave your key in the car they won’t steal it or money they are polite when I came back to America all I saw was people staff yelling at us Japan is different that’s for sure

  15630. of course there're many people who didn't intentionally become polyglots(they grew up in international marriage families, or their parents migrated while they were young), but I don't believe pursuing becoming a polyglot is something worth doing.

  15649. I’m so glad I found this video ! I learn Japanese since a few months now, and I just love learning languages and especially Japanese ! But I was quite worried about getting weird gaze or turning my head and seeing someone staring at me when I would be speaking Japanese as a foreigner in Japan... Anyway, your channel is perfect because it can make me practise my English and Japanese almost at the same time !

  15654. I spent time in northern Japan with my American kids who had blond long hair. The Japanese women liked to steal a feel of the hair when they thought I was not looking. Took my baby to the beach and never needed a sitter. Children of all cultures have their own language between them.

  15656. Living in Japan, I just bow to people I catch staring at me. I don’t think there is anything behind the stare, they are just curious because they are not used to seeing someone like you.
    2
  15657. My experience from way back: People in rural areas simply expected everyone to speak Japanese, they didn't really imagine anything else being possible, so a foreigner speaking Japanese was absolutely normal to them. I never had problems talking to people in the countryside. But in bigger cities... You have people telling you in a very broken English that you speak "a very good Japanese" while not being able to respond to an inquiry. Or they run away. I bought rechargeable batteries in Akihabara (Tokyo), back when it was still mostly electronics and radio. One clerk saw me approaching to pay and ran away to get another one. That guy checked what I bought, punched a number into a calculator and showed me the display. That's a total contrast to a small store in Machida (small town near Tokyo), where I had a nice chat about the advantages and disadvantages of certain types of transistors with the owner - without calculators.

  15658. I'd love to watch more videos about offices and job culture in Japan! This video was so good🥰💞

  15660. About 20 years from now, this sort of "how come you speak Japanese so well" comment will be a thing of the past. These older generations simply grew up in a pre-global age. Their entire worldview is pre-digital, pre-globalization, and still clings to post-war nation state ideology. That coupled with the fact that Japan's population will shrink to about 80 million, and the steady flow of foreign workers, will see urban Japan become much more diverse than it already is.

  15673. 唯有努力學習, 才能掌握外語 It's all about self discipline. I also at first learning so hard after a year I realize that three to five word a day is enough if you really understand the words. The only way is to ask native and daily practising.

  15674. Today we again had a M6.8 earthquake in Japan. My cat doesn't get scared anymore as she grew.

  15675. Ironically, I sound the most fluent in Mandarin when I'm telling someone how bad my Chinese is. I go in deep explaining that my listening is better than my speaking ability and that memory is terrible so I forget words but I can understand the basic bones of what someone is saying to me.
    2
  15676. I feel the same way about my Korean. I live in Seoul and go to University here, been studying Korean language for 5+ years and hearing "wow your korean is great" is almost a backhanded comment. Like, 'You're definitely a foreigner and you sound like it, but I can understand it so it's cool'. It does get old for sure, but when it leads to an actual conversation and the natives seem genuinely happy and enthusiastic that you took the time to learn their culture and language that makes it all worth it to me. THAT's when I love hearing it, because it's very hit or miss if people even want to talk to you. Especially recently because of covid, I've noticed a lot more people wanting nothing to do with me, despite me having been here for a long time.

  15681. Absolute Sub! I miss the days with a friend that is completely fluent in dialects, slang and so many other things... We'd go into Chinatown in Boston and they already knew him, so no surprise... Then NYC and Bobbie would shake them up.. (He's a good friends son who is a savant with languages). This is SO COO!

  15693. You should have Rody teach you some words from his language, now that would be fun to watch.
    2
  15694. That's so true. Similar way of thinking here too. As long you can get down the basic conversational part of a language, it goes a long way. Much better than using just hand gestures or head nods.:)

  15701. Hello I'm a new subscriber of yours. I enjoy your videos, I am studying Japanese but it's not easy at all.. I master Hiragana and Katakana and I'm studying Kanji now but it's so difficult I have to study Japanese so I can understand people in Japan, my fiancé is a Japanese. He make me go study in Kumon in Japan. Watching your videos inspired me, also I like it when you speak Chinese too. 😊 I'm use to watching C-drama.

  15702. you got this!!! bigggggg love from Korea ❤

  15704. I'm from the Philippines🇵🇭 and I'd say I'm pretty fluent in Tagalog, Bisaya & Waray (my English is a little bit lacking).ネズミ505000のワァンとして、I think you're kinda pointing him out in this video. BTW that's your opinion, but mine is just to let others be as long as you're not included in it. Sa huli, wala silang ibang niloloko kundi ang mga sarili nila. It's okay to be jealous but not envious. You're just making enemies with these kind of videos. MATT VS. JAPAN, you're dissapointing a fan. Collaborating with this Seleseng bebe'e kinda feels a waste of time. Mepete keleng gerl pere hende ke telende. RIP LEGEND. 🐀

  15707. Good video!
    2
  15708. Just awesome! It just shows you how accepting the world can be when you make the effort to appreciate other cultures. FYI, as a born and raised New Yorker (1st Gen Chinese American) I still will get comments here and there about how 'impressive' my English is, and it really offends me. This world needs more people like you to show the world how we are one!
    2
  15709. As someone who has been trying to learn Japanese with limited success for years, I know your language ability acquisition has been a long, hard road but it's paying off big time. Still, your proficiency in both Chinese and Japanese is amazing. I'm not sure if anyone else has said it but your Japanese has a slight Chinese accent but mostly just your natural accent, which is not a criticism just an observation. I'm sure even the non-shocked people were thinking "What the heck?!?" even if they weren't showing it. Your videos are fun and a perfect length to watch during a break - please make more!

  15723. I try everyday. I hope one day to be fluent in Japanese like you

  15724. Wow, lots of hate for strict teacher in here. I found, growing up in the West, that the strict teachers were the best ones. I always felt more challenged and driven towards excellence with strict ones where as the "lets have fun" teachers were either always in the weeds (going off topic or trying to be cool) or never went deep enough into a subject. This is especially true for teaching certain intuitions behind some mathematical proofs and the hard sciences in general. Honestly, I think the West would benefit tremendously from more strict and formal learning, I think most countries could use a little more Japanese excellence in their personal and professional cultures.

  15725. Greetings from Mexico! i just love this kind of videos. I hope you guys learn some Spanish some day. It's amazing how intelligent and gifted you are for such difficult languages.

  15730. 😉 good team
    2
  15731. I am learning Korean and after watching this I am glad that I multi source. I use a few different apps as well as some different videos to help. I have noticed that sometimes words don't line up the same so I try to find the right one from legitimate sources. I also feel that you can not get a good feel for a language if you are not all in. That means learning to read and write as well as speak. Learning the culture of the country whose language you are trying to learn is also good too. Helps understanding somethings you may not normally.
    2
  15732. Sitting in the wrong place 😂 I feel like that would be me. Great video. I love this cheerful vibe.

  15733. Absolutely fascinating insight into cultural societies! Thank you for excellent videos. I always enjoy them ❤

  15740. Because of watching your channel I've been teaching myself basic Korean. It's hard but I have to keep at it. I liked your advice about getting outside of your comfort zone and talking to strangers. You end up making friends with people you converse with. I'm going to do that as soon as Philly opens and it's safe.

  15741. Congratulations on your wedding! In My country... it is considered lucky to have a bit of rain on your wedding day. May luck be upon you always!

    2
  15745. One thing I have recurrently noticed about Anming - she has an impeccable sense of how to initiate a conversation under the right circumstances, and end it gracefully and smoothly at the right time. This is an incredibly subtle skill very few people have. I hope she lands a job as a TV talk show host (Japan, China, or America), so she wont waste her prodigious talents. Aim high !

  15746. Don't mind them! Keep going! ❤️

  15751. I've watched a lot of these "shocks natives" videos and I found them quite entertaining at first, but when you realize they all follow the same scenario, with the same clickbaity title, it gets tiring. No need to be angry though, just stop watching. I don't think there is any problem with people documenting their language learning journey and their genuine interactions with native people. Those types of videos are always fun to watch, you can even learn about the culture and the language. The issue is when the video is centered around the shock/surprise factor, in that case there is almost nothing to gain out of it from a language learning perspective. The less genuine it looks, the more uncomfortable viewers will be. For example, if the first thing you do after learning the basics of a language is film a video shocking natives with your prowess then it might be very entertaining to watch for some people, while other people will find it cringy and inauthentic.
    2
  15752. I wonder if you can make a video describing your process in learning college-level standardized Chinese; all of the language schools you went to, classes you took, and pronouncing tongue-training practices in step-by-step manners. Thanks
    2
  15753. Gorgeous couple. Wishing the very best for you and your future family. Much love!

  15763. I am pleasantly surprised to see you carrying the Tower Records plastic bag, I had to rewind to ascertain that my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me, cause that is so 80s! OMG! In the 80s and 90s, whenever I travelled, I always look out for Tower Records as I used to collect vinyl records, especially those single 7 inch, I still have them. Anyway thanks for bringing a little fond memories for me!

  15767. I love this video. I've been studying Japanese for 6-7 years. I'm still mediocre at best. Tortoise and the hare. Just keep going.
    2
  15768. Woow thank you so much for sharing your adventures! <3
    2
  15769. I’ve been pimping your channel to my friends, but you earned it.
    2
  15770. I am fairly new but that is amazing! What you upload is educational on top of just a bit of fun and it's heartwarming at times

  15772. Hi, nice video this made my day I love always when you interact with people in Chinese or Japanese is so funny thank you for all your hardwork on this video I enjoyed it a lot have a nice day.
    2
  15773. You have to be highly intelligent to not only learn 4 asian languages so easily but be able to switch back and forth is amazing.
    2
  15774. Please take care, I hate to say this but things could start getting rough in Japan.
    2
  15775. Katie seems really cool. Also fun dancing. (And I kind of appreciate Japan for being able to be high-tech, but they also stick with what works for them. I understand they use lots of fax cause they gotta hanko stamp everything in offices. :)

  15776. Lol I KNOW this Detroit Airport! It’s my home airport
    2
  15777. i heard fugu cook is good taste and hangover but i'm reluctant to eat due to venom even though chef have a blowfish certificate by the way you look good in kimono 😅
    2
  15778. I remember my problem is I speak 2 languages @ 80% fluency for both language with occasional grammatical mistakes. I'm always afraid they'd learn the wrong stuff from me. So it's kinda hard to do language exchange when you have little to offer.
    2
  15779. I heard about the lucky cookies story in my Chinese history class, it's in one of the dynasties that someone wanna exchange their messages secretly and they add a note to some chinese cookies to avoid anyone knows.

  15780. Beautiful bride!

  15783. 質問があります! When speaking with children in Japanese, do you use formal or informal speech?
    2
  15784. As always... GREAT CONTENT/VIDEO!!! 👍 This was fun to watch! Thank you!
    2
  15785. I love your videos. Thank you!
    2
  15786. It must feel really special to be able to connect with people on that level through language and living abroad.
    2
  15787. I like you, because you are supporting our country. I am also studying english.
    2
  15788. Katie's born in Aomori, I wonder then if she also understands the Sugaruben dialect? My mom is from Aomori and when she calls her relatives the vocab is so crazy different. When I visit, the relatives switch speaking to Tokyo Japanese for my benefit😅
    2
  15789. Recently I watched 「The most amazing prophecies」, this is a really good sermon about the prophecies in Bible
    2
  15790. I just seen and Rody's channel you anming lol I'm supporting your friend as well lol 😉 I hope you're doing okay my friend ttyl 😘
    2
  15791. it doesn't stop at language. The fitness category is filthy with lies. Things that they don't mention are, that they are on PED's and that is why they are so muscular and ripped. six pack abs in 60 days lol
    2
  15792. Unbelievable , I just ran across this channel today , WOW , AMAZING JOB , Not just beautiful on the outside , but I can see X2 in her heart 👍♥️

  15793. Hi dear, I believe those negative comments not from Japanese. They just jealous. Lol Keep on your good work. がんばって!

  15794. This headcape is nepal country

  15795. I am helping with your million subs. Subbed, liked, blacked belled. You speak Chinese awesomely. Is it Mandarin or Cantonese or other or both? My animals speak fluent Duck, chicken, dog, cat, and cattle on my videos!!! lol
    2
  15796. Congratulations!! 1 million subscribers so happy for you! 🎉🎉🎉
    2
  15797. but you looks so pretty wearing a dress !
    2
  15798. Some of these "Polyglots" are clearly not fluent and don't claim to be. I get that you don't want viewers to be disillusioned. Completely understandable. I will say that the biggest reason I watch some of these channels is to see locals brighten up when they see a foreigner at least trying to converse in their language. It's the reason why your video even popped up in my suggested videos. Forgive me for saying that this video does come off a tad sour and the title somewhat reflects that. I do however respect that you both expressed your views objectively.
    2
  15799. Fantastic interview, you did so good. It's easy for me to feel like my Japanese is worse than it is, I'm at n3 trying for n2. It's easy to feel intimidated or not good enough from other speakers. It's awesome you can speak Chinese and Japanese. I think Chinese sounds so cool but I don't actively try to learn it. Maybe I can watch more Chinese movies and stuff though to hear it. I'm trying to teach myself Korean too. It's such a slow process self teaching.
    2
  15800. Thank you for sharing your family life. I love your videos and learn a lot. Happy New Year
    2
  15801. Love the video as always a fantastic job
    2
  15802. I live in Montreal Canada where we have 2 official languages, English and French and I'd say more than half the population here doesn't speak any English (only French) and vice versa.. when I look at people like you, I realize these folks here have 0 excuses! I would argue that Korean is about the same as Japanese. My dad (Korean) told me he learned Japanese in 3 months (conversational Japanese) :)
    2
  15803. You are correct, Anming, YouTube is another skillset! But, you do a good job at it. Perhaps some people are more natural than others. I know that I have to script mine beforehand (which seems less natural), but I tend to freeze when the camera is on. I like you very much! I hope we can become friends in real life! One question I have, how do you get the rhythm of Japanese down? Yes, that guy has the best Japanese ever as a foreigner, but Anming, you have the best Chinese ever as a foreigner. That is a trophy! Japanese and Chinese are the hardest language to learn!
    2
  15804. This is dope. Such fun interactions. Even learning just some simple phrases in the local language goes a long way. Good stuff.
    2
  15805. Japanese and Chinese people seem so polite! I want to visit Japan some day
    2
  15806. Fun video! Looks like you’re having a great time in Korea

  15807. 2:14 this is Dragon Fruit 😂😂 Not Alien Baby Fruit hahahaha

  15808. I want to try the "Italian Tomato Cafe Jr." just to see who's making "Italian" food!
    2
  15809. Awesome content again!
    2
  15810. Always get a giggle from the zoom-ins to the staring people. They got to stare at you irl, so now we stare back at them through camera haha
    2
  15811. おめでとう。私は日本語をべんきょしています。you and your channel gives me a lot of inspiration thank you
    2
  15812. Your perspective on Japan is certainly unique, Anming. :)
    2
  15813. 他国言語を話せると楽しいだろうね、若い時にもっと勉強しておけば良かったよ。
    2
  15814. Dad ... why?
    2
  15815. That was an interesting conversation about the differences between east and west. Nicely done.
    2
  15816. I want to learn Japanese, but I struggle socially, so it kills my motivation and makes it difficult. I can read Hiragana and Katakana and several hundred kanji, but know extremely little in the way of conversational stuff. I'd love to be able to make these connections whilst visiting Japan, and part of me would like to take a sabbatical from work to live and teach English in Japan, but I worry I'd be even more lonely there than I am here. How was your experience when you moved to China? Were you lonely to start with, and did you have much knowledge of the language before you moved? Sorry for all the questions! Stay safe :)
    2
  15817. Thank you for taking us along. I like seeing different places and learning about them from the people there, which one can do when you speak their language, as you do. The guy in the yellow shirt at about 3:30 said that that place was a lot of fun. Did he mean that particular area you were going into, and if so what made it so much fun? Or did he mean Taiwan in general? Just curious.
    2
  15818. Congratulations!
    2
  15819. Damn, watching these videos makes me hungry! If I only I could be young again, so that I could eat without consequences. LOL
    2
  15820. Back to back videos .. You are on a roll ! What a sweet tooth .. It seems we all have sugar problems , we just cant get enough!
    2
  15821. I've noticed after watching a lot of video's with Chinese, there are quite a few Chinese that speak Cantonese, and Fujianese. Do you think at some point you may add one of those to your amazing language abilities..?
    2
  15822. Deep conversation requires specialized vocabulary
    2
  15823. The mixed-race black/japanese is an amazingly nice look...
    2
  15824. It's been a WHILE! I hope you had a great new year and holidays! Wow, I loved that guy's reaction at the start! (0:32) that was great! The two girls too were so excited and wholesome at 3:48 that whole interaction, I just smiled the whole time lol.
    2
  15825. Like if you love japan
    2
  15826. If you are so smart and very skilled in foreign languages then try to learn Polish. I bet you can't do it. 😊
    2
  15827. More content like this! This is what I subscribed to see
    2
  15828. Love your interactions, this 10 min vid went by so fast.
    2
  15829. I love this video. I love the sound of your laugh and I love seeing you happy plus you are making other people happy. Please keep making videos. You are definitely an inspiration to all young people. Thank God there's people like you that enjoy making people happy and inspiring them to do good things
    2
  15830. Seeing these videos and some of the reactions makes me happy 😁 and jealous because of Japan. Since there's nice merch I've seen over the years I wanna get lol. I can't even go now either sadly. I really enjoy seeing these.
    2
  15831. Like +1 ❤ Happy New Year🍀

  15832. Holy crap! I didnt realize you were almost at 1 million subscribers. Ive been following you since you barely had 100,000. Glad to see your channel is growing so much!
    2
  15833. This was a nice collab! The music was beautiful too. Great work, you two! :)
    2
  15834. Just do you and learn everything you can from every beautiful culture,as much as you can,while you can,and forget everything else,others don't matter as long as you are happy.

  15835. 太同意你的，节假日绝对不进去玩。首先景点都是人人人，其次住宿格外贵贵贵，再则道路基本堵堵堵，最后消费经常坑坑坑。

  15836. OMG!

  15839. Thanks for the motivation! Been learning for almost 9 months now. It's been super fun and I enjoy the process of learning a lot, which is the most important part in my opinion. Gonna start reading some Jump 少年 manga soon I think which is a big step.
    2
  15840. Love it, so awesome.

  15843. Born in Hawaii, would've been good if he could speak Hawaiian then that would have rounded off a super impressive resume of Asian and Polynesian languages
    2
  15844. I still love watching these kind of videos in my free time, it's really cool and calming to watch your videos!
    2
  15845. Long time fan here. I love how your channel has grown over this past year. I really enjoy your videos and content. You really have a gift for languages. As always, please be safe.
    2
  15846. Love your channel, keep up the great work and videos.

  15847. I was in Tokyo in 2005. I got compliments from people on my Japanese when ordering food and whatnot. Usually just saying it was good and where did I study. I would imagine it has gotten much more common in the last 15 years

  15848. Awww..i loved the Naka Meguro area..cool area to spend the day in. One of my favorite areas.

  15850. Pearl always shows a good sense of fashion. I'm guessing she keeps it classic/conservative to help make a good impression when she's out talking to folks.

  15852. American girl😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

  15853. I understand. I was hired to do my sister in laws makeup for her Quince in Mexico and her entire dama party was so shocked when I started speaking Spanish with them. We were in the rural part of the state of Chihuahua, so I understood their curiosity. (I am American, my husband is Mexican)

  15856. Clickbait is 100% disingenuous, and the worst. But what makes it really bad, is the adverse psychological effect it has on the larger demographic, as well as the negative impact it has on the greater market. You see it the most coming from opinionated article-mill websites and here on YouTube.
    2
  15857. Your mom is so cute, she looks like alot of fun. You make a perfect Peach! I love to see all the fun happening

  15868. Hi Anming! I love every single one of your videos. I see all the love and work you put in, and I admire you in your choices to leave your home to go study abroad and live in another country. I was very interested in China and chinese in my teenage years, my dad even went to Shanghai for some weeks for his work and I was sooo jealous, but as I grew older it somehow got left behind and so much happened. After all of this Corona craze is over I am taking a chinese language course, and it's only because I stumbled upon one of your videos. Please keep uploading these videos for us, I really enjoy all of the the content you produce. I wish you all the best and some strong nerves being locked in Japan, lots of greetings from Germany and xiexie to you again for bringing me back the spark of wanting to learn chinese.
    2
  15869. I enjoyed watching this, your friend seems so sweet! I'd love to have her as a friend :)

  15870. Thanks!

  15871. You should improve you knowledge about malware. Your old computer could be fixed within a few hours (re-installation) and you don't get hacked by clicking on a link that easily. Most of the time it's phishing or attacking old security holes, that aren't available on an updated system. Good hackers don't move your mouse - that's something only script-kiddies would do, to get some naked photos or something like that.
    2
  15872. Awesome 👍😍
    2
  15873. there's no quarantine in Japan. Starbucks are closed but some cafes and restaurants are open. government ask people to stay home but no obligation.
    2
  15874. It's fun to watch a video like this, I speak English natively, my Japanese is between N3 and N2, my Korean is about level 3, I speak intermediate Portuguese, and my Spanish could use some work. I've been at it for years and it took and lot of work, when people say they learned a language in a few months, it's so just inconceivable, just on vocabulary alone (1k being survival, 3k intermediate 6k advanced, and 10k 'professional' roughly speaking) there is no way to do that in 3 months while learning all the grammar and things that go with it. I wouldn't consider myself a polyglot but I can get around decently. Thanks for the realistic take on the subject, very refreshing.
    2
  15875. Another great video, 俺名老办！Btw how do you spell your Chinese name? For me I picked 志愿 ：）I wanted an authentic Chinese name.
    2
  15876. This was sweet. I just started learning Chinese. Hopefully I can become a good speaker without having to live in China
    2
  15877. Love it! The screeching “eeeeeeeeeeh!?!?” brought back memories.
    2
  15878. I agree and disagree with what you guys are saying obviously that 30 day stuff is bs. A lot of people aren't looking to be advanced at least not right now but want to be able to interact in the language they're learning and be able to order food have joke around a little etc with dreams of being able to truly connect. In my experience most people realise they want to take it to the next level when they get kind of good and they're actually capable of it. So I think those videos as long as they're encouraging people to learn and not giving false expectations are actually filling a need. I definitely agree that they shouldn't be selling language courses though. Everyone's gotta eat so I'm not mad 🤷‍♂️
    2
  15879. Oh god, the guy from the elevator was SHOOK lol 😂
    2
  15880. I was looking around and saw the thumbnail with your photo .. and the .. "Fake Polyglot" .. and I swear .. I was like .. "Noooo ... She's :LEGIT!!" ... then saw it was YOUR channel. Sheesh!! :)
    2
  15881. People that discriminate people expressing their interest in languages, or just sharing the experience are pathetic. It's the same with people discriminating western people wearing Eastern attire like kimono or Yukata as some form of appropriation, but forget that there is a form of eastern prestige by incorporating "whiteness" into their look. Commenter have almost no idea or just stupid bias with no understanding of the entirety of the topic. Just another case of targeting westerners because it's an easy target, but looking deeper it is a stupid argument.

  15882. Eyyyyyy!! I didn't know you could snowboard?! 🤩❤️❤️👏👏👏👏 Next time I have to follow you for a lesson. So so so gorgeous.

  15885. I visited Tokyo over Christmas in 2003 and stayed in Ikebukuro for 3 weeks. Things seemed quite a bit different back then compared to the videos I see of Tokyo now. I barely saw any foreigners aside from the occasional "steerers" outside clubs. On a side note, I was visiting a Japanese friend who took me to a movie and I let her pick what we saw. We watched "The Last Samurai" lol It was also odd that I happened to check out the TV in my hotel room one night and the movie "Lost in Translation" with Bill Murray was playing. Those movies made the entire trip seem even more surreal.

  15886. That was a great interview with katie and ride around.

  15887. THATS so good! You made my day!

  15892. Recently I started watching your videos, your video's are encouraging me daily to learn Japanese language. Even I too started learning Japanese 　大好き　です　から　とても　楽しかった　ですね。Thanks for making a platform through youtube to learn languages. ありがとうございます。　私　インド人　です。love form India 🇮🇳

  15893. The fist skit or whatever it is called is me when my brother try’s to make food for me Edit: oops I did not watch the whole vid yet when I posted this comment
    2
  15894. Thank you Anming for your videos. They're entertaining, real, & I just love the day in a life sort of vlogs! I also appreciate the respect you have for the language. By the way, I'm Chinese American & you inspire me to speak & know my culture better!
    2
  15895. The dislikes... Hm does people blind them self and rejecting the facts, again? Some people who rejected this wise message in language training is just refuse the reality. It is not easy but it is the only way. Languages are to communicate with peoples not only by them self. Apps only first little steps. Peoples should not to be 100% depend on it (or made it like their god). Apps is not as perfect as real life nor human brain. Apps just a little guide. Not made to be perfect. Second big step in language training is between talk with peoples who speak the language. This will never replaceable. No excuses "i can't find people who speak the language" (bla bla bla) because there are so many ways even by online talks. Web talk apps, MMO, Vrchat, etc. Yes, someone can find peoples who speak the language easily. IF THEY REALLY WANT TO LEARN ofc. The only thing important is do people want to do it or just lazy but not admit it (mostly tried to blame another if someone told them the right thing). No excuses needed. That is the fact. What was the dislikes for if she is indeed correct by speaking the right thing. She indeed young but i admit she know what is right. Sorry, pearl. I just feel irritated with the shortminded peoples out there.

  15896. I joined cruise ship and visited Okinawa last October. It’s so sad that I didn’t have chance to see the historic palace in Naha city. 😢😢😢
    2
  15897. I've just recently subscribed, but consider the social and educational aspect of those other videos. I feel that you being able to speak these languages despite your (to them) foreign looks catches them off guard, instantly breaks the ice and creates a deep rapport, allowing for a more intimate and rare peer into the heart and soul of not only the people you talk to, but their cultures too. By making those social connections, I kind of feel connected to them as well by proxy. A local Chinese or Japanese person would not be able to get the same effect simply because there's no instant ice breaker. My favorite bits are when you are able to get them to explain something that you don't quite understand. I would love for you to just explore the people and their culture, armed with your language skills and curiosity of finding out more. Like "what makes a good manga"? It's not a question that has an objective answer, and thus is bound to reveal a little about the person trying to answer it.
    2
  15898. I like all your videos but this video is just a mashup from the other videos (there are some new clips though)
    2
  15899. I like all your videos. You are pretty. That's not the reason I watch but I do always think to myself "she's pretty". Smart girls are pretty. I never knew how cool it would be to speak Chinese until I discovered you and laoshu. Now I'm hooked.
    2
  15900. We are here for you❤❤❤
    2
  15901. Maybe even though many vids on YouTube like that,, Do some quick basic Chinese and Japanese phrases greetings etc,.,I know most but Id still watch you, regardless and regardless if you did that as a suggestion,, x
    2
  15902. Keep posting, we are watching! These videos are so relevant and necessary right now, so people understand what others are going through around the world. Yes, your usual videos are fun, but that's not all you have to offer. From what I see with other YTers that I subscribe to, views are a small percentage of subs, so somehow you've got to get your subscriber number up. Unfortunately, I am not a social influencer, so all I can do is offer you my encouragement.
    2
  15903. Sadly that’s how it is with youtube. Look at the trending videos, most have exaggerated faces and clickbait video titles. But don’t worry about that and you have us who are subscribed to you and watch your daily videos. New viewers will come in surely. : )
    2
  15904. I love to watch your adventures. All I know in Chinese is Ni How and Shea shea (not sure if I spelled that right) but even with that alone the people at my local Chinese restaurant seem to appreciate it. They are super nice people. Likewise my elderly Japanese neighbor who has been here since after WWII seem to really appreciate me showing an interest in their culture.
    2
  15905. OH TOMMY! lol
    2
  15906. This is a great video. I went to some classes when I was in Kyoto and I had two major problems. 1- Only one person person at a time could ever speak in the classroom. Either the teacher or one student talking to another with the whole class watching. We were never allowed to do any pair work or chat together. 2- When a student made any little mistake, even a mistake unconnected to the main lesson theme, the teacher went to to the board and explained the error for five or so minutes. Wasting everyone's time and making the student feel like an idiot. This was my reason for not attending again. After this I got a great private teacher and she boosted my speaking skills no end. So my advice is to get a private teacher and meet in a quite place for a lesson and then find other ways to chat in the other time. Such as joining an art class, learning some music etc.
    2
  15907. She looks gorgeous!! Her hair is amazing!

  15908. Life is an adventure and you have put yourself to good use with those years .a learning experience. A joy to be remembered. 3cheers from Canada

  15910. The first time I was in Japan at 姫路城. Went to the Tea House for the tea ceremony, and I was approached by an elderly Japanese man who heard me checking in with tea house staff using my limited Japanese. He had a note book with world maps and he made a point to meet foreigners, and record were they were from, and locate it on the maps. The weird thing was that our conversation was totally bizarre for a while. A Caucasian in western dress speaking limited Japanese with this elderly Japanese man who was replying with broken but very understandable English. My friends said it was weird watching this loud North American speaking Japanese to an obviously Japanese man who was speaking English in return. A total reversal from what was expected. This elderly man sought out foreigners to practice his English while learning about where they were from.

  15912. The Manga is basically the Japanese drawing their alter ego. The Manga characters has everything the Japanese don't have. Clear facial expressions, Big wide eyes, Amazing (and crazy) hairstyles, hair has colors of the rainbow, big boobs But yeah... Aside for the Socks shop....there are even shops for Stickers only (Just look for B-Side Label in Shibuya)...got a few cool stickers for my laptops and phone :)

  15914. I'm studying Japanese , Vietnamese , Korean and Chinese at the moment and so far , Korean is the easiest. I think it's really exciting to speak to people in a foreign country❤

  15920. She is in Nepali attire

  15921. I visited Tokyo back in 2007 and was surprised that there were a lot of Chinese expatriates there. Since I can barely speak any Mandarin, my wife spoke to them.

  15922. How to become a fake polygot: -learn hello, nice to meet you, where are you from, I've never been there, that's a beautiful place, I speak other languages like EXAMPLES, I am self taught, I learn through books or conversation, is this your family, I live with EXAMPLE. -Repeat these steps for each language. -Learn proper nouns and question phrases so you can detect the language. FINALLY, MY MAIN POINT: now that you know how to be a fake polygot, you can better avoid them.

  15923. You’re so adorable. Thanks for sharing. 😊

  15924. didnt know speaking chinese can get so many followers. did u find your asian bf yet

  15925. Hey! Absolutely agree w you gals, great insights, I enjoyed the whole video! 😊 Actually, I do the same and that's also why I totally understand the way you might think and feel! (Ofc, I do it not on that level you guys do! Yet.. 😏 ) For me English is not my mother tongue, but I decided to use it as my first / No. 1 language in my daily life. So it's not (only) about passing a language exam, or getting a better job. There's still room for improvement for sure, but however, it became one of my biggest passion and source of joy! I'm always eager to learn every single word you all have, I'm always curious about where those words, sayings originated, so I'm really interested in every details about this language! That doesn't mean I'd hate my country or my nation, obviously! But it's true, language has a huge affect on your personality, on your thinking. For me it turned out so, using English changed me for the better, I made definitely a measurable progress in the background. Really interesting experience! So, I think, both of you have a super great attitude, I'm absolutely impressed by the conversation you have had with each other. I hope there's going to be a continuation! 😉 Thank you for making this vid, have a great weekend!

  15926. I loved this interview! I am relieved that Joshua received only the "normal" level of bullying, in school 😅 👍🏻.
    2
  15927. Your all videos are so good and amazing!! Love you from India 😍😍😍😍
    2
  15928. How beautiful is it for me to watch your video first
    2
  15929. I once had a conversation with someone who did the same line of work. They did about 12-16 hours a day almost non-stop. When I commented on how difficult that was, they said "That's what you get when you're in the anime industry." It's a work of passion. That could be how they get to stand the pay. Of course we'd still want better pay/conditions for them overall. Easy to say, but this is a tricky process. And as Henry mentioned, can't 100% be based on western ideas. Thanks for doing this! Love your videos!
    2
  15930. This was really fun to watch. Can't wait for more videos like this.
    2
  15931. Can you show us how you're learning Korean? It would be super helpful to see you learn something from scratch so we can follow along!!
    2
  15932. youre gonna blow up one day, the content you provide is very niche and interesting
    2
  15933. Love watching your videos! Please show us more about yourself in Japan!
    2
  15934. Love your videos!
    2
  15935. THANK YOU for talking about this topic, as relatively, and I insist, relatively egalitarian Japan may be, the homeless situation in Japan has always been underestimated and filled with societal taboos. The situation is so suppressed that just talking about it on your channel is big, thank you.
    2
  15936. So Awesome 💪💪💪 thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!! Heading back to China, Guangxi region in the next few months and plan on pushing myself to continue Learning Mandarin
    2
  15937. Thanks!

  15938. I like kyudo but I love kenjutsuu
    2
  15939. Your music taste is sublime!
    2
  15940. I think language schools in Japan are really seriously taken and disciplined, whether students are passionate or hardworking to learn Japanese language for their future paths. Apart from it, even you were kicked out of the language school, but still hardworking to learn Japanese language, Miss Alyssa.
    2
  15941. Japanese citizenship and Japanese ethnicity are two different things. You can be born and raised in Japan but that doesn't make you an ethnic Japanese.
    2
  15942. Why do ppl buy toilet paper
    2
  15943. Myth 3: Most tourists in Japan are from the West. Made me immediately remember: What is the meaning of “Bodhidharma coming from the west”?
    2
  15944. Congratulations, so beautiful you looked. Very exciting times. Wishing you and Tommy all the best for the rest of your lives!!!

  15945. I just bought my red pen 🖊 . I’m ready to go 🤓.

  15946. Me sorprende lo distintos que son los puestos de comida en comparación a los de mi país 🇵🇪. Gran video, que raro que no lo vi antes ^^
    2
  15947. I can understand what they are saying with few words without looking at translation AHHAHA weebs can relate
    2
  15948. Very intriguing indeed! Looking forward to more cool contents like this from you! Go for it, Anming!
    2
  15949. Yess, i love thissss! Hope I can learn various languages too:)
    2
  15950. What can we do to get your numbers up? Your channel is awesome!
    2
  15951. Great video, I miss Japan so much, I lived there as a Catholic too 😃 🌸💚☘️
    2
  15952. I love when they do a second and third look!!! So much fun😂
    2
  15953. Soooo cool!!!!! One day I will send you a video speaking Chinese and Japanese in the streets! I cant get enought from that. I hope you are doing great! Anming
    2
  15954. Kawasemi is my favorite bird in Japan. You can find them along small streams and rivers. Very beautiful, vibrant blue.
    2
  15955. Im happy this video is growing your popularity!! You deserve it.
    2
  15956. Like 👍👌👌
    2
  15957. You have the right approach! Respectful is appreciated. Your videos are genuine and you come across as smart and meaningful - keep up the good work! 😊👍

  15958. Hopefully your Pearl of Wisdom would invoke a change of Hearts and Minds. ❤️ 🇯🇵

  15959. I had well over 20 westerner teachers when I was in China. All of them are great but most of them can't speak a proper sentence of Chinese. Love your content and respect the hard work behind your language skill. Wish I had a teacher like you.
    2
  15960. I’ve been slowly learning Lithuanian 🇱🇹 for 13 years, I can hold a basic conversation with a native, but I’m no where near able to step in to a conversation as when I’m with my friends and they are speaking, I get less than 10% but can patch it together.
    2
  15961. I never had this situation, they acted normal, regardless of age. Maybe it's my hair:)
    2
  15962. Another fun one ... a little late to the party but your buddy is right ... "Gwai Lou" or 鬼佬 is a Cantonese Chinese slang term for a foreigner (non-Chinese person) ... it's about as impolite a term as "Gai Jin" or 外人is in Japanese. It more than implies that those "darn foreigners" are devils ... BTW, just watched your video of the Tokyo dog walker. That's the peace and love message I wanna buy into!! Keep up the amazing videos. We need them especially during this time if you know what I mean ... 🌈👏😇
    2
  15963. Love your videos. My daughter lived in Japan for a while and l ived in Germany for 4 years and speak good German. I'm Hispanic which throws a lot of people off when I speak German and my daugher speaks Japanese but now lives in Montreal, Canada.
    2
  15964. Congrats on 1 million subscribers!! 🎉

  15965. Soo.. bueatifull, Love you

  15966. Wonderful video😊 One thing I would say though is that London isn't representative of the rest of the Uk

  15967. What a cool job! He must enjoy the attention
    2
  15968. Lisa is hot 👀🔥
    2
  15969. Don't mind me stalking your channel hahah I've been learning Japanese for about 7 years now (I'm in my first year of uni), and watching channels like yours is a serious inspiration (it's also really satisfying when I can understand without the subtitles hehe) - your Japanese is great! I did a high school exchange to Saitama for two months by myself last year, and my host family actually took me to Kawagoe, it was such a beautiful little town hey - I had a lovely time and I hope you did too!
    2
  15970. and I also definitely noticed the same thing in talking in Japanese to the shop clerks, they'd see me speak a little English with my host student and get visibly nervous until I spoke Japanese to them at the counter hahah
    2
  15971. You did not disappoint and I really appreciate that you show the whole interaction and also the people who did not seem surprised. Open and honest thank you 😁
    2
  15972. OH. MY. GOD . YOUR JAPANESE IS SO AMAZING, AND THE WAY YOU TALK, YOU VOICE TONE, YOU NEED TO BE A VOICE ACTER.
    2
  15973. You even revealed your Michigan accent (saying 'egg') ☺️
    2
  15974. With all the crazyness going on in the world, with all the protests, racism and dividing, its really emotional and warming to see videos like this bringing people from all over together and laugh and talk about normal things. Thank you!
    2
  15975. That feeling that sometimes me as a Malaysian Chinese got too. English, BM, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese 😆
    2
  15976. Awesome video 😊 I used to play with those when I was young lots of fun 👍
    2
  15977. Pearl you’re too funny.
    2
  15978. Based on your recommendation, I started using Pimsleur 3 weeks ago to learn Korean. It’s so convenient to listen to the audio and practice while I cook or exercise! I feel very productive, haha.
    2
  15979. I can speak fluent albanian and english but i really want to learn japanese
    2
  15980. You have become one of my inspiration to learn another language beside English, and Spanish. Amazing Video's
    2
  15981. Girl, take easy on Tommy, he is doing his best. Not many Asian will change their life to be with someone special. He has a big smile, and enjoy his life with you, it's not easy for Asian culture. Should take Tommy for a race car ride, thats part of be American too.
    2
  15982. Out of all the non Japanese/Chinese people on youtube that speak those languages, your videos are the best. You really seem to put effort into each one
    2
  15983. Holy cow!… ‘Gratz Michigan!!! 🥳 Likewise, shocked & surprised that you know Emi. She’s cool, funny & love her channel as well. With that said, no doubt, I think you guys should do some collab? You prolly know her buddies Yuka & Lemi as well..even Nobita? Now that would be a sick awesome collab, hands down. And speakin’ of awesome, WTG chica! Many blessings to both of you & congrats again 🙏🏼 PS: Surprised Japan doesn’t allow double citizenship?

  15986. Love this one because even as an American, I learned alongside Tommy about some cool places and foods in Michigan/Detroit.
    2
  15987. That church looks amazing! I love it!

  15988. love your channel

  15989. and september is here 🍂🍂

  15990. My dad was stationed in Japan when he was in the USMC back in the 70s. He said the people there were so friendly that if you dropped your wallet they will leave it alone. He even had a Japanese girlfriend for a while before he came back to the US.
    2
  15991. I think you get hotter in every vlog - Tommie hit the jackpot 😂
    2
  15992. You even laugh like a chinese person lolol! You've been in china for a couple years it shows 姐你太厉害呀 么么哒😘
    2
  15993. Me: holy shit, she speaks japanese, she's been living abroad for 9 years. Random japanese lady: Amazing. Your parents must be lonely. :D
    2
  15994. I always thought it was a bit weird how these videos go where they ask the same silly questions that people don't even ask in their own language. It feels textbook, it isn't really speaking. It's like the first chapter of every phrase book.
    2
  15995. The food in all these videos looks delicious!! Your content is awesome!!
    2
  15996. This is so cool! I love how excited everyone got 😄
    2
  15997. I'm always amazed with their reactions, but the true glitch in the matrix is you being able to speak with them so naturally, as if you spoke their language since birth 😉
    2
  15998. After first and second..by a smidge
    2
  15999. I can never think of Pearl without thinking what a great ambassador she is.
    2
  16000. Thank you for sharing this video. 🙏
    2
  16001. I love these new concepts of videos. It shows us more than the streets of Tokyo.
    2
  16002. I wish the Oriental Pearl knew how much I love her.
    2
  16003. When I got my very first ipad several years ago I downloaded everything I could find that was free. There was a pimsleur Japanese learning program and I tried a couple of times to learn. Im so jealous you speak so fluently. I hope to be inspired by you to pick up the learning again.
    2
  16004. It's a compliment in this era of divide, hate and negativity enjoy the gesture to tell you that you are doing something right/good.
    2
  16005. A pioneer and a veteran! 👏🏼 Why shouldn't he do what he loves every day of his life no matter what 🙏🏼
    2
  16006. I’m super impressed that the man knew Car City! I have to say, I’m really proud of your language accomplishments! I know you’re not my daughter or friend, but seeing a young lady study hard (new languages are not easy!) makes me really proud of you. I wish you all the success in the world 🌎, you deserve it. Thanks for these videos!
    2
  16007. I need a sequel to this video: in the summertime, up North. If you get Tommy to visit Petoskey, I'd be over the moon: we camped up there as a family for years every summer, and I have such warm memories of the town.
    2
  16008. Everyone should become a member or, at least, SUBSCRIBE!

  16009. 中国70年时间从贫穷落后的农业国发展成为初步繁荣的工业国，不是靠意识形态口号，靠的是几代人的艰苦奋斗！我们的爷爷辈饿过肚子，起早贪黑每月工资不到20块钱，他们的付出为这个国家的工业化提供了启动资本。72年中美和解后，我们得以进入国际社会，改革开放，我们的父辈用他们的勤劳使得中国制造的商品行销世界，中国经济开始腾飞。现在到了我们这一辈，物质条件极大丰富，人们能够体面地生活，但国家仍然有很多问题，贫富差距大，金钱至上，环境问题… 我相信中国人自强不息的精神一直都在，国家会变得越来越好！
    2
  16010. Thanks again! You seemed really relaxed and well. Time will pass and you will be back in China, so really try and enjoy every day in Japan, as it will be just a memory one day! I look forward to your next video :)
    2
  16011. Great video! I really like what you are doing w your channel. Meeting people in Japan is the coolest thing. There is not enough of it on YouTube so I think your channel is going to grow like crazy if you keep it up. I’ve watched all of your newer videos and I find myself wishing there was more from Japan. Anyways keep doing what you’re doing please don’t leave Japan I love this type of video so much. Hopefully my family and I will be going to Tokyo and look now when when this pandemic lifts.
    2
  16012. Your videos are the best. I love your sense of humour :)

  16013. bruh , i watched the while video without realizing what her actuall disability is , then i wondred what it was and skipped to the beginning , and bruh she really is stronk af.

  16014. I understand, I'm from Kansas and the snow is crazy here sometimes! Haha Love the vlogs keep them coming!
    2
  16015. I hope your channel grows a lot. There are a lot of hackers out there. You can never be too careful. I don't know much about YouTube either but some big YouTubers are using Discord, Patreon, Twitch, etc now to make more money. Looking forward to your videos.
    2
  16016. She is such a Kawaiee girl!! She's soo friendly and kind as well - . Lots of warm love and care! 😶😘

  16019. I really love this video, funny, entertaining and a special guest, you made the best on a gloomy day, keep up the great vids, I'll be waiting for the next
    2
  16020. Hahahaha, the intro is so cool!
    2
  16021. Im enjoying every moment in this video, especially when "only" cicadas sounds is appear. And congrats for 95K.. now time to wait for 100K subs... :) I've dream visit Japan and of course rural place where i can hear cicadas sounds. Oh, they (Japan ppl) also not show to much for reacting foreign people that speaks fluently in Japanese.. But i guess in they mind be like: 👀👀👀 😂😂
    2
  16022. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. This video I had to stop the tears of joy and from laughter. This was amazing.
    2
  16023. Yes more travel I love it. So beautiful there.

  16024. 1st

  16025. That Soup by 11:57 its Fake.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍

  16026. I wish I had the same talent as you
    2
  16027. Me gustan mucho tus videos! Since I start learning English ,never stop learning new words. But learning chinese and Japanese it's something else!Congrats Oriental Pearl's Hello from NY!
    2
  16028. I had to close my eyes when you were hanging us over that railing...and I'm pretty tough. I see you're doing a fantastic job keeping up with your comments. I get about 30 comments a day right now and it's all I can do just to keep up with that. Maybe you have extra down-time because of the coronavirus? Anyway, keep up the good work. I knew your channel was going to blow up when I saw your language prank video getting recommended on Xiaoma's videos a couple of weeks ago. I think you were under 500 subs when I subbed, now you're closing in on 10k! Good for you! I think I understand what you mean when you talked in your most recent video about not liking youtube very much. A lot of youtube is, simply, contrived. But you're real, and people notice that. People want more of that realness, and it's part of the reason you're blowing up right now. Keep making the videos you want to make and we'll keep watching.
    2
  16029. Thank you for this episode !
    2
  16030. I'll subscribe because she actually went out and chit-chat with locals and bitched about others.
    2
  16031. Aside from your language skills, it’s your authentic personality that makes me a fan. Combining these 2 things together is what makes your channel so special. I haven’t found another multi-language speaker like you yet nor I believe I ever will. I’m cheering for your successes Oriental pearl! Also the “I got bubble tea” song is a blues clues reference isn’t it lol
    2
  16032. not gonna lie. i free styled to it :D
    2
  16033. congrats
    2
  16034. I’m learning Japanese too 😊😊😊
    2
  16035. I like your channel, new sub. You're throwing some facts out here for us simple folks. I'm a Latina American, talking to a Japanese guy and I need to make efforts towards learning Japanese. He knows English pretty well, but if I decided to move or settle down in Japan, it will be a must. I've lived in South Korea before, but I've only visited Japan -- I have much to learn.
    2
  16036. I really like you being honest making videos as one of Japanese viewers!!! Thank you always 🙏 10:06 I think the cashier was probably Chinese or other Asian. She didn’t behave like Japanese do when you asked the direction. (Her name tag is too small to see though. ) Maybe that’s why she didn’t know the direction.
    2
  16037. Always enjoy your great people skills and the fluency of your speech!! Also Japanese are so polite, always bowing ...
    2
  16038. I absolutely love your videos. I find it amazing that you can speak so fluently in Japanese as well as Chinese. I have one question where did you learn Japanese and become so god damn fluent? Help me pls!
    2
  16039. This was a fun and inspiring video! ‘So my little cousin can answer these questions - AND she’s cute! 😂 Love it! I think you did a great job in the TV show considering you weren’t trained or experienced in presenting. That Chinese woman though was a real pro. Just look at how she held it together and refused to look flustered when there was some confusion going on. Kudos to her!
    2
  16040. You're awesome
    2
  16041. I loved this video! I was a missionary in Japan, so I had to overcome my shyness quickly. 😅 But I learned from one mission companion that if you try your best, speak with confidence, show you care about people with your actions, and mime the rest, then you can usually figure out a way to communicate. Her Japanese didn't always make sense, grammatically, but people got the gist of what she was saying and knew that she loved them. Try to give yourself time to learn, and don't criticize yourself as you are learning a new language. Just remember, actions speak louder than words. :)
    2
  16042. Lmao michigan road!!!! 🤣
    2
  16043. ひゃー、たしかに、これだけ日本語うまい男性と話してて、私の言ったことに対して「は？」って言われたら怖いと感じてしまうかもしれない。彼が日本語うますぎるが故に。そんなに日本語がうまくない人のHuh?は何も思わない気がします。
    2
  16044. Japan is so much more fun than America. At least where I live anyway. And Japanese people probably feel the same way but they think America is better.
    2
  16045. アカキさんは日本語うまいよね。最近、見ないと思っていたら、中国にいたんですか。
    2
  16046. I wonder how many girlfriends that guy has
    2
  16047. That’s so intriguing to me. I wished I could learn that fast as you do I’m subscribed to you over two years ago. Keep the videos going love them.❤
    2
  16048. Oh I've been waiting for this one! The intro alone was so funny lol It must have been exciting returning to the US after so long and with your husband! It was heartwarming to see all of his reactions to the American culture 😂 Thanks for sharing with us
    2
  16049. You are absolutely amazing 👏💃💪
    2
  16050. Katy is so beautiful 👁️✨👄✨👁️

  16052. Waiting with my popcorn and soda pop.

  16053. Next time you see someone following you confront them
    2
  16054. I appreciate your language skills, I also love to learn new languages, love from India...💖🇮🇳
    2
  16055. Pearl sis when you asked the Chinese man on the bike if he came back to chat with you more, that means something different to men LMAO. I could have told you he was about to call you good looking.
    2
  16056. いい天気、鎌倉を自転車で散策気持ちよさそう。トニーさん加油
    2
  16057. YOU HANDLED THAT DEFTLY AND WITHOUT CREATING animosity but surely embarrassed that Lady ( the 3x loopback of her expression said it all). But continuing and building a rapport rather than negativity turned the situation positive for everyone. I am certain she will likely guard herself is such situations next time.
    2
  16058. To me it is so amazing how some stuff in Japan IS cheesy old but on the other hand there's also the most advanced technology around
    2
  16059. You remind me of an anime character
    2
  16060. 1. Why no driers? Because Americans use driers too much! They use a lot of electricity and an average American person wastes a lot of electricity and energy in general. Air drying is free. And you won't see them in fancy malls, just where people live, their homes. 2. Why own a car? I think you understand it already pretty well. It's a status symbol. It'll pass I think. And to be honest, with kids and their stuff, it's a lot easier to have your car carry all that stuff around, especially in weather. 3. Those exact shops, I don't think the majority of them are paying rent. They either own the place, or they live there because they have to live somewhere, meaning they are already paying rent, why not make a few more bucks by opening a shop? 4. Excessive share bikes. I've heard stories that the abandoned bikes situation is bad, not this is the first time I'm seeing it on cameras. It is bad. The reason is there has been too much liquidity (money) in the economy and they all invest in the fad all at once. Some of them will survive and some don't. When they go bankrupt they certainly don't have any funds to clean up their mess. It is bad. But to me, it does not seem a valid reason to not use them. They still make sense. There was a time in Shanghai bike theft was rampant. With shared bikes, you don't have to worry about theft. I think that's an important reason why bike sharing came into existence. It's still one of the major means of transportation in Shanghai and a lot of other Chinese cities. 5. How do the riders and drivers make money? They pretty much pay very cheap rent. They don't have much other skills to find a skilled professional job but doing this in Shanghai still beats farming in their hometowns. I can totally relate to them now because I am doing this myself albeit in a different country. I call this "saturated money-making mode", so you don't let go even the slightest chance of making some extra bucks, even if it means you spend a lot of time waiting and don't get paid very well or get a lot of business. But every new business is extra $ in your pocket and you know you need that money. When I am under less financial pressure, I'm pretty sure I will drop this casual job. But now, I'm in 90% saturated money-making mode because I need the money.

  16062. I believe it's thanks to Japan that we used to play tops like that in Brazil. 27 years ago when I was 4 we played it with wooden spinning tops instead of that plastic ones. Edit: Nevermind, googled it and turns out people played with spinning tops for like 6000 years, even in Rome or Greece. But both China and Japan are responsible for reintroducing the spinning top in the West. I didn't find who was the first culture to use a cord for the spinning instead of the fingers. Anyway, had a good memory trip thanks to this video.

  16063. I've been learning Vietnamese but I'm addicted to your videos. They are great for motivation learning any language. I hope I can do what you do one day but in Vietnamese 😊

  16064. Cool video. It is true, there aren't that many westerners compared to other nationalities in japan. Living in Gunma I don't run into too many westerners, and when I do it's so rare I sometimes feel obligated to say hello. You kinda do that awkward stare down like..you gonna say hello or not... no, ok, move along.
    2
  16065. I want to learn those languages, going for it for my whole life then.
    2
  16066. Oh, come on, you're from Michigan lol Those bug bites could be worse! (but, also, I totally get it and being able to go to Taiwan would be so cool! Thank you for continuing to upload <3)

  16067. Not sure I got this but your Japanese boyfriend (Toby) is stuck in China and you are stuck in Japan? Happy birthday Anming, did I get that right, anyway you seem to be doing pretty good yourself under all the adverse stuff going on. Good Luck

  16068. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 that awesome 😎 new video
    2
  16069. I feel like it's a good thing that people make these kinds of videos, because it shows how cultures can come together and learn from each other. It shows that people are surprised and even honored that others learn their language and are interested in their culture, from a place of respect. Isn't that a good thing? To come together, despite our differences, and find something we can share? I think it's a good thing, anyway.

  16076. Yes, I absolutely notice, on a microcosmic awareness level you don't even say "hell." But I know that's not what you're referring to. Godspeed

  16077. Nice to see a new video. I like how you interact with people and present yourself positively.

  16079. Aww. I'm from Grand Rapids but have been living in South Korea for the least 4 years. This made me really miss home, especially Frankenmuth around Christmas! I'm glad Tommy had fun!

  16080. yup ive always loved the honesty of kids. its always interesting when you ask them about home life too. sometimes depressing. so just be mindful of what answers you may get when asking a question. and also what ears are listening also.

  16081. I’ve been studying English about three weeks but I often face many unknown words when talking to myself in my room... I guess it’s very hard for me to say the english word changing simple word... What’s the best way to learn second language?
    2
  16082. The crowded atmosphere on the train looks super uncomfortable, I can't believe they go through it everyday. I guess they really do get used to it over time Edit: That footage you had of Harajuku looks so calm, I thought that street was almost always crowded 😲 What day or time was it?

  16088. I think as of now, you’re getting viewers who appreciate the variety of content you put out there. If they are anything like me, they’ll enjoy any format. What’s important is that you feel comfortable and confident about what you put out.

  16098. I saw a video of laushu six year ago. Since I've learned 3 languages on my own. Everyone has their own opinion, but I am very grateful to the people who make these videos.

  16099. I never expected to live in Japan or even try to learn to speak Japanese but you know life is funny. Definitely learning some tango on this chan. Takes 2 to tango. ;p

  16103. I can speak 4 languages 😊😊 proud* and Japanese is one of them (not fluent, still learning)
    2
  16104. A subtle thing came through in the way you said "told" at 2:32 with a distinctly Japanese pronunciation. That "wr" sound with the tapped "l", it's clear to me how rooted in Japan you are. Thanks for sharing your story
    2
  16105. See, you can make lots of friends this way because you are amazing person and full of good positive energy !
    2
  16106. It's not very satisfying to watch fake polyglots. Every video is the same few lines without much variety in topic. It's disingenuous to the people studying their asses off to become truly fluent, and makes it seem like anyone can become fluent if they just spend a few weeks casually listening to audio tapes.
    2
  16107. "Too tall" "See you later" 🤣👍 funny congratulations girl 👸 from England UK 🇬🇧

  16108. Thank you for sharing and to keep on your investigation. Take care

  16109. the intro is so positive! it really gets you wanting to speak chinese, especially always seeing you have such friendly conversations with locals and seeing how much fun you have.

  16110. When you say japanese then they make eye contact. XD

  16111. You are what you eat, but since you haven't turned into pastel-colored candy yet, i'll take your word that you still eat normal food in between... Nice that you think of us as your extended family! Yes, candy-man, just filming for my family of 35,800 here ;) It's always amazing how accommodating they are to customers. The customer really is king in Japan!

  16112. Hi @Oriental Pear I love your videos but am also a Reddit user. Not of the subreddit you were talking about though. I think i have a more nuanced perspective which will probably clear some things up for you which you misunderstood. I think the problem that is being perceived in the mentioned video is that you try to talk English to lets say 'more rural people' who obviously don't speak it. Think of as talking in street language to the queen of England. Saying "What's up dog" isn't generally rude or condescending but in that case it probably would. I think the guy on Instagram messaged you probably because he's a fan of yours and wanted to give you a heads up and wasn't trying to blackmail or scam you. For the Reddit part. Reddit is a website comprised of numerous different subreddits (categories) some of which are small and some big. For example one of the biggest subreddits is /r/aww which is for posting pictures of cute cats, dogs and babies. On the other side of free speech and Reddit there are also the bit more negative subreddits such as /r/japancirclejerk. I've never been to this subreddit before but the rules/guidelines which are visible on the right side of /r/japancirclejerk says enough: ""Warning to newcomers: This thread is a troll hole. Post on this thread to get attacked by trolls and children. Mods? What mods? Just a warning to all newcomers. If you want to have a question answered, you won't have it answered most of the time. Instead you'll be attacked by trolls. Post at your own risk or go to a different thread where trolls are limited and moderated" This subreddit is clearly made for and by trolls and isn't anything to be taken seriously. Although the top comments are insults towards you, they fall under free speech and every idiot is entitled to his/her opinion so there's very little you can do about that. The "It's never too late for abortion." could perhaps maybe possible be seen as a comment that incites violence and get removed if you report it but i doubt it. Further down in the comments some users said "If we mass report it, YouTube bots will take it down, I reported it as harassing obachan lol" and another "Nice! I followed suit." which is Brigading an and not allowed on Reddit. Each comment on Reddit has a report button under them, just select the option that says it breaks the /r/japancirclejerk rules and then Brigading, the mods will be forced to remove those comments. Even though the guidelines insinuate that there are no active mods, there have to be. Any subreddit with content which violates Reddit's rules and policy that isn't regulated and removed by the mods will get quarantined or removed entirely if the admins catch wind of it. Lastly the 4000 Yen. On Reddit each user has a 'Karma' count. You earn Karma points by simply posting content and comments and when people upvote them you gain additional points. These points are basically worthless and are just a representation of how active you are on Reddit. Some of subreddits have a minimum requirement of Karma point before you can post and/or comment there. The mods of /r/japancirclejerk seem to have changed the work "karma" with "yen". You are not expected to pay any kind of fee to be able to comment anywhere. Just a minimum requirement of karma which is mostly implemented so that not every Joe can leave their dumb comment and probably mainly so that bot account can't just easily take over entire comment sections.

  16116. I really like your videos. They are fun and I'm always amazed how you switch between languages. I'm trying to learn Japanese but I also know Spanish (native tongue) and English and I have to retrain my brain to a lot of customs, formalities and basic things to say. I tried speaking my little Japanese to one native speaker in a game and I froze 😅 Anyways, thanks again for the videos. I appreciate them. 😊

  16117. I don't understand why products are "overpackaged" it seems such a waste, after taking out an item we are literally throwing out all this plastic, all this packaging material, ending up littering our planet (only small portion is recycled, like 10% or so..)... 和製英語 is fine I got used to it, portion sizes are ok'ish you can always ask for more rice :) ,I've seen many different people wearing socks with sandals, even though it might look odd at first, you'll get used to it and later on not even notice "this interesting combination" :) . Now about "cartoon culture", there are plenty of great anime, novels etc. that are totally worth watching /reading, there are different kinds of genres, some of these Japanese cartoons covers really interesting topics. I believe you simply entered the wrong section in this shop, some people might say it's a "good story" with some sexual elements (ecchi) or so, I think it's just different form of pornography (hentai) with more or less "objectionable content", deformed bodies etc., they just don't want to admit it. It's really sad that there are a lot of people who actually watches/reads all this and it doesn't matter in which country it was made...

  16118. ok, beautiful pearl. Hadn't finished watching the video 😬
    2
  16119. Thanks for the tips :) PS : your dress is soo gorgeous :o

  16120. At least you get more time to learn Japanese while you are there. I doubt many people in Shanghai speak fluent Japanese.

  16121. That Route 66 part was really neat. Did he really make it through those 5 to 7 states? Pretty amazing stuff. It looked like he went through my home town of OKC, Ok.

  16122. Congratulations!

  16123. i have learned how to say "its okay" in chinese because of you and im oddly proud of it-? XD
    2
  16124. It is good to learn another language, that way you can tell if others are speaking behind your back, in front of your face, or in this case, sitting beside you. That way you can have a polite conversation with them.
    2
  16125. I just discovered your channel! I like it! Nice video!

  16132. I wish you would do more videos about speaking Japanese you are in Japan after all. Yes you speak good Chinese but damn girl you’re in Japan Shock the Japanese with your Japanese speaking skills enough of these Chinese videos there’s tons of them on YouTube but not many of America’s speaking Japanese and shocking them . Hope you take my advice and stay safe out there.

  16135. Every jobs has its own difficulties, never knew YouTuber has it too. You are a smart girl, the fact you can speak Chinese and Japanese fluently, you go girl!
    2
  16136. Wah~ I watch these types of "foreigner speaks ooo language" all the time and it's the only area where I feel jealousy lol I've always loved languages but they're immensely difficult for me (I've tried learning 5? 6? over the years), currently living in working in korea (no korean skills) and wish I knew how to study better. Props to you for how hard you've worked! These videos are amazing!

  16161. There is something that moves me in this video, tbh😭🎉✨🥂🐏🐕
    2
  16162. The thing that stands out to me in these videos is how warm people are when you speak their language. I'm trying to learn French but I am finding it very difficult. Not a chance I could ever get my head around Chinese or Japanese.
    2
  16163. 你真的很棒，在日本安全第一，健康第一，加油💪
    2
  16164. I love Japan and Japanese language. They are cute. Arigato

  16165. Dang. Nice so your bilingual? Awesome. Yeah I want to learn either Japanese or Chinese

  16166. Would love more YouTube videos of her! She’s really cool

  16167. You should learn how to speak korean too!
    2
  16168. at about 14:00 weirdly enough I find it easier to talk about 'meaning of life' topics in Spanish than everyday tasks, does anyone else find this in other languages you've learnt?

  16169. I love the blocking feature.

  16170. That was beautiful and touches the soul.

  16171. It wouldn't be good if you slipped on those stairs on the Great Wall, I'd love to have a walk through a bamboo forest that would be cool. Both places have interesting places to visit, nowadays it definitely impossible to go anywhere in the world that doesn't have pollution which is really sad. Right now I'd be glad to go anywhere.

  16174. On another note, SO AWESOME that you speak Chinese and Japanese!! And soon Korean 😃👌 New sub!
    2
  16175. At the beginning when u said you wanna learn korean: Trust me you should 100%%% learn Korean because since you speak Japanese and Chinese it'll be like 10 times easier and it a REALLY interesting language so I reccomend you do since it'll be easy !!
    2
  16176. Hey pearl what language do you think sounds better when spoken I think Japanese sounds much better Chinese

    2
  16181. I've learned about 40 national anthems for fun ranging from Afghanistan to South Africa, and people sometimes think, I also have to know these languages. But that's just what people say, when they're astonished. While I do research on how to do the pronunciations right and try to imitate the sounds as close to the original language as possible, and if possible get a feedback from a native speaker, it's not the same as learning an entire language. It's just as easy as learning a few phrases.
    2
  16182. You will be nervous no matter what. However it just becomes normal. It’s definitely different but it will feel the same once you’re comfortable.
    2
  16183. It's the same as asking someone with a certain talent like playing the violin or snowboarding not to take a video because it's showing off and making a big deal out of it... sounds so dumb. It's a major part of the lives of those that speak multiple languages. I say keep making the videos and don't mind what these ignorant people say
    2
  16184. @Oriental Pearl I love your video have a Dream I met my favorite YouTuber all time I be in Japan very soon Next time I’m getting a drive license in Japan when I come back
    2
  16185. Its seriously amazing how you can switch languages like that and communicate with the locals and store ppls. 👍 I think there's a quote that Nelson Mandela said, "When you speak to someone in their second language, it goes to their head but when you speak in their own language, it goes to their heart♥️." (power phrased)
    2
  16186. This video about telling us that most people aren’t shocked when you talk a different language is why I subscribed and you are an awesome person! :)

  16187. what a incredible on you you are just like a walking A.I

  16188. Love ur vids - you make me want to try and learn another language.

    2
  16194. You're right that a lot of foreign Japan vloggers don't talk to Japanese people or hang out with them much. That's one thing that sets your content apart from theirs. . At least Abroad In Japan hangs out with Natsuki a lot. I love Natsuki! I hope you get a chance to meet him someday.

  16195. You’re right, listening something is very important! For myself, I think radio is helpful. 真的，听广播非常有用！

  16198. Hi Pearl, Hard to believe i was just in Kyoto a week ago & now the snow has really come down. Had to return home quickly due to deaths in the family. Recently have become fixated on K-dramas. My korean language is but a few words however have noticed a mix of english, korean & japanese thru those dramas. Noticed that japanese used in korean may have a slightly different accent but the words & meaning remain the same. All the best & hopefully i will be returning to Japan within the next few months.

  16200. I would believe this would be a compliment for every country. I could be wrong though. I do feel bad for the people who try to speak English due to the fact that it’s hard and even the fact that some countries have different variants of english words. Like a torch is something to light up a cave, but this could be a trunk in other countries. I bet as long as your trying your hardest, the receiver of the conversation is noticing that you’re trying in any language
    2
  16201. You got out and talked to the poor folk in Osaka. Nice to see Tommy being adventurous here!
    2
  16202. The ones saying thier Japanese probably mean thier nationality is Japanese but they are ethnically Chinese. It's like if you go to sushi restaurant in Los Angeles the cook pretend to be Japanese when they are actually Korean or Chinese. It's common to lie about thier ethnicity in the older Chinese l/Korean generation to appear Japanese cause there's more money there. 👍

  16203. I always wondered,for someone studying international relations,at the end of your study what actual jobs can you get from it?
    2
  16204. That was such a lot of fun!
    2
  16205. I don't really speak Chinese or wanted to learn it but you give me some kind of motivation. I always though Chinese was super hard to learn but maybe a few phrases can't hurt too be learned. Entertaining video as always 🙋‍♀️
    2
  16206. Anming you inspire me so much yo!! ..I'm about to get into my studies, got them genki studies going ha! LOVE your videos so much. I'm going on five months learning..I don't feel confident yet but soon I know I must start chatting it up. Hiragana is my main learning goal right now. So far so good..I'm started to know characters now. I gots to break out of my shyness like bad haha.

  16209. It's good to see a new video from you. This was fun!
    2
  16210. You guys give a inspiration to start learning Chinese and Japanese as a third and fourth language cause I already know Spanish my main language and now I speak as best it’s possible English since 2008 when I move here USA 🇺🇸. Other than English and my own language Japanese and Chinese are that one of the most I’m really interesting to learn speak and write. Bravo for the great nicely live discussion you guys have was beyond amazing 😻
    2
  16211. You guys are so cute, surprised you don't buy some big estate there with a good price and redo.

  16212. Hi! I'm Japanese. 日本語お上手ですね！私も英語頑張ります！
    2
  16213. Haha wonderful. Love seeing other races embracing the oriental language.😊😁Lastly, i can conclude that language youtube is informal while business communication is formal. During my corporate time working, i knew 4 business development managers that speaks great Japanese for every Japanese clientele meeting in Singapore HQ. They are very amazing in the sense that they were able 2 feed 3-4 kids each very comfortably. That is how bloody top they are in the social ladder. I still believe be in youtube world or senior managerial world, both can still make big money as long as you stay on top of the game.👍👍😎😎

  16214. Anming i'm Binge watching your videos on Lockdown 😀 , love all of them 👍 So sorry you didnt get to go into the Castle it looked beautiful from the outside.

  16222. This guy knows a lot about America!
    2
  16223. Great video, This is why I feel it's best to just assume someone speaks the local language and knows the local culture instead of assuming they don't. You can quickly find out very quickly if someone isn't native but assuming someone isn't native just because they don't share the same race is just not ok. Here in America it's easier, I've never looked at an Asian or Spanish person by ethnicity for example and assumed they don't speak English, I can't imagine doing that and feel it would be so rude, but I can understand why Japanese do this, they just don't have many foreign ethnicities born and raised in Japan. But hopefully with more videos like yours and as it becomes more normal for Japanese to encounter other Japanese of other ethnicities it'll become less of a problem. But it's also a bit disappointing knows even someone who is 3rd generation Japanese still isn't treated as Japanese because of looks. I know a lot of Japanese youtubers try to defend Japan and claim this isn't racism or there isn't racism in Japan but it is racism, they just go about racism in a far less harsh way but it can still be troublesome for people who don't look Japanese. It will not stop me however from loving Japan and I hope people can learn to embrace the positives of the situation. Yes it's exhausting having to explain himself in almost every encounter but he's doing a good service in doing so, opening up peoples minds for hopefully improve future generations experiences.

  16226. Hi, I'm a fresh subscriber from Norway. The footage from the rocky shoreline had me thinking: I never hear about people in Japan using the ocean recreationally the way many North-Americans and Europeans do with small private boats, even though in Japan you are never far from the ocean. Do you know if it is a thing?
    2
  16227. Congrats on your moved. the new place looks amazing.
    2
  16228. Haters hate because they cant f**g make any content up for there own channel. Geez bunch of leeches… everyone that has a channel; enjoy it and do your own thing, persevere and take notice of your positive members. The rest is noise peoples 🤜🏻😊
    2
  16229. Hi Anming. Great video again. In the video you put a small bit of a music track.What sort of music do you listen too, if you listen to any? I recently found the Wagakki Band and love the mix of Rock and Folk music.

  16230. Congratulations on the one million followers! :)

  16237. Congratulations 🎉
    2
  16238. Thanks for the amazingly positive videos! And greetings from a subscriber from Belarus!
    2
  16239.  @OrientalPearl  You should know that for some time Belarus was the only country where the football championship was not interrupted, and we did not have forced isolation. Children go to schools and kindergartens, life goes on. However, the people themselves organized and the number of contacts fell sharply. Lord, again we are all talking about this coronavirus. Yes, you look like a Slav, but the fact is that all white people are similar (Americans with European roots are no different from European Slavs). Hug!

  16240. I like Japanese Movies than Chinese Movies

  16243. "You have to be adaptable. You have to be grateful for what you have and not focus on what you don't. We already have so much." Your words are so true! Thank you for sharing your day with us. Everything was truly beautiful! Congratulations to you both! I wish you both many many years of happy memories, lots of moments of joy, and lots of laughter!

    2
  16247. It's a good thing that you're getting "exposed!" More people are watching and enjoying your videos. Just keep doing what you're doing. Are you able to travel to other parts of Japan perhaps?
    2
  16248. It is good that you sound these warnings. Greatly appreciated.

    2
  16255. The songs thats its on background on 6:14 its from Koffe-W Amazing song BTW
    2
  16256. Subscribed, your content is fun, very informative about places and a treat to see your travels and interactions with everyone. Well deserving of a million subs!!
    2
  16257. Your such an awesome sweet girl. If your taking the train everywhere you might wanna wear a mask in these shitty times. Love your videos keep them coming!🎶
    2
  16258. I expect that to take a lot of effort, It would be awesome to have chinese subtitles as well. I am learning mandarin and I'm sure some people here too. It is hard for me when I hear something I don't know, but I don't even have the hanzi for it. Chinese subtitles for when you talk english, but that's not what I've expected (That can maybe help chinese people tho) Also, thank for the english translation and for your vids!
    2
  16259. Aweeee, you look stunning! I wish you a healthy marriage!
    2
  16260. Another lovely video, makes me feel very happy during these tough times, thanks. I live in Scotland and things are getting a lot better. Warm greetings and much love from Scotland...
    2
  16261. Hey Russian girl :DDDD Hope you are safe and healthy! It's been a while since I watched your videos. Gonna binge again! How is your Japanese progressing? Caught up to your Chinese?
    2
  16262. That was fun!
    2
  16263. Shuri Castle! Terrible fighting went on during WWII! I think it was the Japanese Command's Headquarters!! They met a fatal ending and, unfortunately, as many local Okinawans. The Americans attacked with overwhelming fire support and ferocious close in fighting! The last battle in the Pacific.
    2
  16264. Tbh, japanese appreciate westerners. Their entire society is based of old british culture. Not making eye contact, being polite at all times, like a genteman. If u respect their customs. They will respect u for respecting them. Very british. "Thankyou for thanking me"
    2
  16265. I love you ❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍 I am from Brazil !

    2
  16269. Such bubbly girl you are, it must be fun to have you around! But your Chinese roommates are rather reserved, you do lift up the atmosphere with your lovely Pikachu Baskin Robbin ice cream cake. Have not had Baskin Robbin for ages! Cheers!
    2
  16270. After watching this video I literally got back on HelloTalk and paid for VIP because I’m ready to start taking Japanese and Portuguese seriously. Thanks for the video and motivation!
    2
  16271. This is honestly got me wanting to learn Japanese. It just sounds cool
    2
  16272. Hey Anming. First of all. No elevator? What gives?? Second, that kid is really smart for 6 years old. I'm afraid that one day there's gonna be a male Anming running around. By the way. The hostels are cool but kinda tight for people :-(

  16285. You live a great life.

  16286. My languages are Swiss German (my native language), German, some French and a few words of Italian. And some other language, but I can't put my finger on it right now - anyway, switching between those is now natural to me but it took me a long time as well. It does feel nice though to be able to switch around and directly understand what the people of other cultures and places talk about. Oh! I remembered the other language! I've been taking Duo Linguo classes in Dutch! Bedankt ver het lezen!
    2
  16287. Now this is the type of content I love. Thank you for this video!
    2
  16288. Your determination is so inspiring, I always feel motivated after watching them. They're so fun to watch, thank you! Tommy saying "yayyyy" over and over killed me 😭

  16289. When you go to japan and speak w/ japans: WHERE IS THE SUBTITLE???!!!!
    2
  16290. Tommy with the ole Ultra Man pose with the gun 😂✌️
    2
  16291. should never use q tips for that. Most often the wax is pushed further down the ear canal. Use mineral oil or even olive oil for a couple days to loosen the wax, then flush with warm water. I have to do this every six months.
    2
  16292. Japan looks nice, even in the built up areas. Next video, you attempting to juggle. Lol. Good on you for you trying to talk to people.
    2
  16293. wow she made herself a whole friend squad XD
    2
  16294. We need more people like Lisa and you in the world! I don't wanna be too long winded, so I'll keep it short and sweet; this video single-handedly rekindled my desire to continue learning Japanese. Thank you guys.❤💙

  16299. Does pimsleur actually work fast for daily conversations? I heard it does

  16310. People say the same stuff about Japanese people adopting Chicano culture, but only people they seem to care were non Chicanos. Were you think they learned it? Its cool stuff like this helps bridge cultures together.
    2
  16311. Can you get scholarship form Waseda as an international student ?

  16316. I want the fully Japanese girl to have spent many years in the US and/or have gone to International school otherwise her English is too depressingly good including her intonation (American) etc. Please tell me she didn’t simply go to University in America and has lived there for only 3 years! 😫
    2
  16317. I really don't know what it is about you and your content, but this is the second video I've watched and I smiled through the entirety of them both! Thank you for sharing!
    2
  16318. A new video! Yay!
    2
  16319. I‘ve been studying Chinese for almost a year now. I enjoy my studies but I can’t imagine I‘ll ever be able to speak like this. 😳 How long did it take you to get to this level of fluency?
    2
  16320. I'm just an average grad girl, stuck in Japan. I wake up at 11am. Hey hell, I'll pay the price . . . I always feel like, an old lady's watching me. And i have no privacy...
    2
  16321. I found your channel very interesting and fun! Great content to watch stuff right from Japan... your channel has tremendous potential and it will grow more and more so keep going ganbatte ne!
    2
  16322. Anyone know Katie’s YouTube name? I want to follow!!! Spread your knowledge upon us!
    2
  16323. I just subscribed! I know the nail salon I go to is talking about me when I walk in because they're looking me up and down when they're doing it..lol I don't think I want to know what they're saying but I would like to freak them out and walk in and just start speaking in their language which I think is Korean.
    2
  16324. the issue i have with a lot of these videos is that people watching them seem to think everyone is fluent in all of these languages and while i don't think that's necessarily the polyglots' fault i think they should be aware of the fact that people are going to have unrealistic expectations coming out of the videos. especially because if someone speaks just one or maybe two or three of the languages in the video they aren't going to be able to judge how well the person in the video speaks them. i think they should clarify in the video itself that they don't speak all the languages to a high level. it's still impressive to be able to speak a lot of languages a little bit and i just think it should be clear. more than the videos i take issue with the comment sections.
    2
  16325. Hahah! You said exactly what I was thinking at the beginning! 😂 If there was something in there it would have been on the ground! 😂😂😂

  16326. His pickup line is so lame. He should work on his rapping but you are Nanpa worthy for sure. Are you dangerous?

  16327. Lovely. No trash or litter anywhere.

  16328. Beyblade comes from Japan?! Wow, you learn something new every day! I enjoyed playing Beyblades when I was younger. (In my small rural town I did a competition and my Beyblade came in 3rd when it was very popular. I was quite proud of myself at a young age lol) You know Kelly and her Husband?? That's amazing, I've watched her channel for a long time to! That vlogger was a cool dude. My anxiety gets in the way of putting myself out there, unfortunately. I will talk to a stranger today to get over it a little!
    2
  16329. That guy is awesome! I really dig the subtitles you added for a comedic twist on it all
    2
  16330. Ah yes, a real life anime character. What season are you guys on?

    2
  16346. I also wanna learn Chinese🇨🇳👲..... U should give me so encourage and inspires me 🙏... Lots of luv 😍💞
    2
  16347. I'm the same, I've never overheard anything bad being said about me in Japanese. But there are some nuances to how people speak in Japanese that I won't go in to (空気を読む)
    2
  16348. Thanks for sharing your walk. Those northeast chinese guys were really nice.
    2
  16349. I want you to know that I appreciate this a lot. Than you for doing this even though it was probably not the easiest thing to do.
    2
  16350. Spanish is my native language, and i have been learning english for 2 years and i feel im not ready to say i can speak it when see some people that can really do it. Usually take years to learn 1 language. Huge fan of your channel.
    2
  16351. 🇸🇬 Singapore fan Hi , Thanks for the videos ,Very amazing , beautiful and spectacular American girl ,U are most welcome to visit Singapore cheers
    2
  16352. Love this video! You're so right. I love languages and I used to feel bad for only knowing four, but at least I'm not faking it. I actually speak English, Spanish, French, and Tagalog. And a little bit of Portuguese (which I barely say I can speak since Im still learning and cant hold a full long conversation YET). It's cringy to watch "polyglot" Youtubers who look like they just memorized a line or two. Oh well... at least they tried I guess😜 Good for them. 😀 Quality > Quantity Ps. Love your channel. 🙏💝
    2
  16353. Glad to see you are well, sending love and best wishes to you from the UK, stay safe xx

  16354. At 2:38 your subs say “Love eggrats the most.” So childish of me haha. Love your vids
    2
  16355. 04:48 I THINK Anming is trying to tell us she's a badass. Agreed my friend
    2
  16356. My first job during high-school I had a co-worker with the same disability. She was probably the most diligent and hardest worker in the store and quickly rose to management. So kind and genuine, it's really cool to see how people can rise above things.
    2
  16357. I'm mexican and i like your videos, your Chinese is pretty good. YouTube recommend me your video cuz im learning Japanese, I speak English, Spanish, German and Italian
    2
  16358. So nice to find your video...not exploitative or condescending in the way some YouTubers can be. This was always my experience in Japan too...friendly, generous and funny!
    2
  16359. Thank you for all your videos!
    2
  16360. OMG how great is this. International, intercultural exchange and understanding - you and your knowledge is the link TO MAKE WARS UNNECCESSARY ! Why ? Because the human, not the political conviction is deciding !!

  16366. I never lost my passport thank goodness but I feel like it’s easy to lose stuff when you travel because you’re usually tired and carrying way more junk than usual.

  16367. So humble and genuine. Amazing languages you speak

  16372. Anming: Speaks Mandarin The Chinese: My queen 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️

  16373. I find it interesting how they are both doing all the Japanese mannerisms even though they are both Japanese language learners. E.g all the bowing and modest speech. I guess it shows their level of the language. That those mannerism just end up becoming 2nd nature.
    2
  16374. I have also been to this village but before Covid, lots of visitors, very crowded. Many tour busses. I saw flowers with little tree frogs living inside and I saw newts living in the rice fields.
    2
  16375. Good video, OP. Nishinari was also a burakumin area. It is amazing how quickly everything is changing. In the late 90s I saw Nishinari had a chicken walking on the street and men warming their hands over a drum can with a fire inside [New York style]. Ten years later, the chicken etc was gone and people were running many little outdoor [mobile?] karaoke bars where they could sing and drink on the street. Others were gambing on the street. Now it has changed again. It looks even more deserted. The old people are dying off and the young ones have many opportunities due to the labor shortage. And those who can't work will become hikikomori or (if female) maybe standing women, I guess. I feel a bit pessimistic when I see what is happening there. But I can't quite put my finger on the problem.

  16376. Lisa San is pretty inspiring, I really liked the video because it made me think about my attitude a bit. I practiced classical guitar for 10 years and on December of 2019 I overused my fretting left hand while practicing , I messed up my ulnar nerve causing cubital tunnel syndrome at the elbow (a nerve condition where your nerve becomes entrapped at your elbow making your funny bone sensible at almost all times, and your pinky, ring and half of the middle finger to lose strength feeling uncomfortable) These last 2 years I have been doing therapy and taking more care than ever, but it hasn't healed, and I think I'm gonna need surgery if I want to play again. I was losing hope, and even thought about not playing guitar never again due to the pain it causes, but as soon as I saw Lisa, I got my guitar and started playing slowly. I will not lose hope and keep looking for a succesfull treatment, even if I need surgery. Is very inspiring to see Lisa San living her life, and being herself, doing her best while I due to a setback have felt as if my musical passion was over. Thanks for this video! 👍🏻

  16377. I envy you cause when I went to Japan for just one month after studying 2 years at home privet lesson 3 hours per week... I could speak like you japanese... but now, I became a little bit worse🤣🤣

  16378. I'm so glad that tommy got to experience all of this
    2
  16379. What was your high paying job in Detroit? And your main reason to move to 🇨🇳 is because you were bored with your life in Michigan n wanted to study abroad?
    2
  16380. This so freaking cool, I'm your new Latin Fan, Paraguay here. It's curious because sometimes, I cover the bottom of my screen in order to practice my japanese listening with you✨, new subscriber girl👏🏼
    2
  16381. I don't even like to leave my rural home to buy groceries, but given that disarming personality of yours, I would blindly follow wherever you lead. 😁 Let us know when you start your tour guide career. 👍🏼

  16382. Hi, i have a question. (Im a dutch person) Since ive been 15 i have been working at multipule chinese restaurants and ive taking a huge liking to their culture and especially their culinary. Im considering studying in china anywhere in the future, so my question is. Is there like any high quality culinary school’s in china you’d recommend? Hope you have an answer :)

    2
  16394. Heartiest Congratulations An Ming on your happiest occasion. Blessed marriage. 🙏🙏
    2
  16395. WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE LEARNING THE LANGUAGE? I am currently in graduate school rn going for two majors and I have no time to study other languages so I am soooo jealous but once I’m done I’ll for sure try out what you have to offer.
    2

  16400. The dark side is much better.
    2
  16401. We love Japan. And your presentation of Chinese Children vs Japanese Children is sooooo good. :) We were at the Winter Festival in Sapporo when cv19 hit and the Chinese from Wuhan were just pouring in. One of our good Chinese anime friends was suppose to join us, but we had to go on without her when all here flights were cancelled. But I must tell you that I did fulfill one of my Bucket List Dreams - I danced NicoNico (Anime Dancing I call it) in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park!!!! :) Anyway, we can hardly wait to go back to friends and family in both Thailand and Japan. P.S. And Friends in China as well. Crazy times we are in.

  16402. I say bye bye when I’m about hang up a call on my phone. It makes it less awkward for me than saying just a single bye. I’m American btw

  16403. Where I escape in is the Theater or in my studio. There is where you can create your own world and escape the madness from a world that’s full of cellphone zombies 😉
    2
  16404. I wanted to learn chinese cuz I'm good at japanese
    2
  16405. 3:43 that turnaround was kinda smooth
    2
  16406. True, I understand how it could bother some but I really just like watching them because it gets hyped to learn a new language then I go back to studying Japanese after I watch a few of their vids
    2
  16407. So good, Anming, thanks again. Love the laugh on the lady holding the 500 sign, she was great <3
    2
  16408. I want to live in Japan when i graduate and your videos make me happy❤️ i hope to be as confident as you one day!! Love from Australia 🇦🇺

  16409. That’s so sweet of your friends of celebrating your birthday *happy late birthday!!🎊🎉. I hope all your wishes come true and you may soon return to China. Love your content ❤️
    2
  16410. Hello Anming yes a good contribution that there is not only much light but also much shadow. The truth is that there is much poverty in many large cities, a fact that no one can deny. At least like everywhere is taken care of even if it looks very bitter everything. Thank you for the contribution from you. Greetings from Germany Andy
    2
  16411. bR0- Your Chinese accent is good, damn
    2
  16412. This definitely not your your kids Halloween Party lol. Much prefer Japan's take as far more festive & interactive. Halloween around these parts is stale and boring. I always run into people who wonder why some people put so much effort into it as in really, sigh. 🙄😪. I respect expats who put this level of dedication in living & working in a foreign country. So many obstacles but what an experience. :b
    2
  16413. Excellent video!
    2
  16414. 色々ありましたが大丈夫そうで安心しました。 これからも頑張ってください!
    2
  16415. You have good sound in your videos, is it an external mic or something? 😄
    2
  16416. Thanks for another Mandarin video! Interesting that pharmacy folk thought you were Russian and not American. Speak any Japanese/Korean?
    2
  16417. "He's ULTRA ASIAN" had me DYING
    2
  16418. Its really good to watch content like this, because im learning mandarin, so this type of videos really help to listen and know some new words, 谢谢。
    2
  16419. This is so wonderful!! Congratulations!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and health!! 💖💖
    2
  16420. It's not like people look at 'you' per-say, they look at who you're walking with. A group of foreigners is not a big of a distraction because they assume that you are tourists, whereas, if one foreigner is walking with a bunch of Asian people, people wonder 'why are they with you?'. So basically, it is not like they are looking at you, they look at your Chinese friends because they are thought to be elite to be walking and talking with a foreigner.
    2
  16421. Faygo Redpop 😍👍 Firework is difficult to obtain.
    2
  16422. Wow your japanese is amazing too!!! im glad to see everything is still thriving over there in japan! love watching your videos!!! miss japan so much! i actual tried just english asking for stuff and same.... they didnt understand!!

  16423. Really nice video, as if you were talking about your experiences while next to me. Power to you, woman!
    2
  16424. You should either get a job or go to school. I don't see the virus issue getting better anytime soon. Do you?
    2
  16425. 8:13 Tommy looks like Levi Ackermann from behind. 🤣
    2
  16426. Oh wow! I can relate to you so much! I was an assistant English teacher in a public junior high school system in Japan from 1992-1994. Basically, I was a human tape recorder. My job was basically like the JET program, except I was hired by the city I worked in. They wanted more English teachers than what JET would allow them. It was a great experience, but I started to grow cynical about the culture. I’ll always love Japan. I still dream about it occasionally.
    2
  16427. Way to go, Anming!
    2
  16428. I need to learn how to Speak that language
    2
  16429. This is very encouraging especially me self learning Japanese and hopefully communicating better on my next trip. 👍🏻

  16432. Love your vids!
    2
  16433. where did you live in usa where you had so many accidents? ok just saw you were in michigan. That explains it :) We agree on those other channels im sure we would name the same. You are authentic for sure compared to some of the others . I actually unfollowed a couple of them. I honestly think it went to their head (even more) as they got more and more subs , quit their jobs since they were making a lot of money ( when you could) through ad rev .
    2
  16434. You’re beautiful and smart. I Io e following you ❤️👏

  16436. Loved this interview. I would love to see John and Joshua get together!
    2
  16437. Hi Anming! Watching Xiaomanyc's channel and your channel has inspired me to gain fluency in Spanish and in Thai. I'm about 70% fluent in Spanish and 80% fluent in Thai. I was very impressed to see you switch from Chinese to Japan with ease. Thank you for your vlogs! It makes me forget about my solitary confinement due to Covid-19. Ciao!
    2
  16438. Thanks for the video. I see respect, orderliness and giving each other space 👍👍👍👍
    2
  16439. Bust out the Redbull.... way the go girl!
    2
  16440. The unfortunate part is that at least one of the people who does this also runs a business where they teach people their 'method', aka the method to learn to speak and respond to a set number of specific phrases.
    2
  16441. Congrats 🎉🎊🍾🎈
    2
  16442. I am not so familiar with the Japanese culture. But I found it very sweet, that your boyfriends father trys to learn English. This is sweet.
    2
  16443. Oriental Pearl They are starting to wear them here in the UK but the media are deliberately using scare tactics as they always do. I just listen to the official guidance and ignore those criminals.
    2
  16444. I always enjoy seeing your interactions and hearing your encouragement. I watch several others (like XiaomaNYC) as well. I hope to be proficient in a few languages :D
    2
  16445. Just know that you're amazing! Always enjoy your videos.

  16446. Luv the reaction of the ppl u r so smart that's a gift from God help ppl whit your gift 🙏

  16447. Love that was willing to learn the culture correctly. Only thing I would say is to get better posture on a horse, tuck your butt under more. Keep learning and having fun!

  16448. ❤ from Kerala India 🇮🇳.. I love modern America & traditional japan

Nice break, Glad to see you're doing well though & staying safe as always friend :D I always enjoy seeing the reactions too! | 5:00 I'm so jealous too! Look at all of those kit kats. I would literally, buy 1 of each of those if i could lol.

  16452. Don't y'all think she looks like karinaOMG but the adult version😂😂YALL LOOK THE EXACT SAME I CANT

  16453. "I am not an American celebrity" was my favorite part.

  16455. I want to learn East Asian character based languages
    2
  16456. I’ve rode in a rickshaw by myself. It’s just a mode of transportation.
    2
  16457. I enjoyed this video😂
    2
  16458. Yeah most polyglots don't like to take credit for being polyglots. But people are quick to compliment and recognize others as polyglots. But Chinese AND Japanese.. definitely qualifies. People also stopped complimenting me on my Japanese too. Instead, I sometimes get people asking me why my Japanese is good. Like I need an excuse or something. I tell them I studied a lot of flash cards (Anki) and they don't really buy it.
    2
  16459. Really enjoying these different perspectives on Asia. 👍👏😊
    2
  16460. This is the content I'm subscribed for
    2
  16461. Oriental Pearl:"What do you do to cheer up?" Transitions to shopping video My brain: "Women, lol"
    2
  16462. I always watch your videos to the end Anming. How is your Christmas going to be this year, are you going to celebrate it with your Chinese friends? Maybe you could show us a little of what Christmas in Japan looks like? Meri kurisumasu!
    2
  16463. A lot of people who speak multiple languages tend to speak mostly related languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian Romanian or German, Dutch, Norwegian-Swedish-Danish, Icelandic. That's not like learning Hungarian, Tamil, Mongolian, Hausa and Arabic... know what I mean? Having a wide range of superficial knowledge can be handy in a lot of situations though. I studied quite a few languages to a basic level and it does give you a sweep of knowledge, for example about how different scripts work. People repeat incorrect information all the time. For example that Chinese characters are not phonetic... but in a way many of them kind of are: eg: 中、忠、仲 and so on. All 3 are pronounced jong in Chinese or chuu in Japanese... the first means "middle". The second character incorporates 心 meaning "heart" but is still pronounced jong or chuu, but the meaning now is "faithful"... and so on. If I hadn't messed around with so many languages I wouldn't know this stuff. But I would never call myself a polyglot. Another thing, if you really want to be a polyglot then learning languages has to be your main passtime, which is fine for many people I'm sure. But some of us have other things to do!
    2
  16464. You are courageous as well as creative.
    2
  16465. There are actual services that help gaijin rent apartments because I lot of Japanese don't like to rent to gaijin because they have a reputation of being complainers and trouble makers.
    2
  16466. that’s funny and i was surprised they couldn’t respond such easy questions.年配のひとならともかく少なくても6年は英語勉強してるだろ！
    2
  16467. メリークリスマス！Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Thanks for spreading the Christmas cheer! 🎄🌟🎁🥰

  16473. A tour of Yokohama Chinatown and a mukbang! I'm starvin over here :(. Another great episode, can't wait for the next.
    2
  16474. Is the background music at the intro Chinese music? Because it's really similar with Javanese & Balinese gamelan music.
    2
  16475. I've currently starting learning Japanese (pod101 channel) and found it helpful you put subtitles on this video. Thank you.
    2
  16476. I wish one day I can go to China or Japan 😁 I love the culture and I self taught myself how to count to 100 in Japanese lol. I love seeing your videos and your personality is so nice and refreshing!
    2
  16477. This has been really helpful! Keep killing these myths.
    2
  16478. This Chinatown in Yohokama is amazing! Definitely on my list of places to visit.
    2
  16479. Great discussion, thanks and keep up the good work!
    2
  16480. My favorite thing to watch on your vlogs is you switching from one language to another and the reaction the people give.
    2
  16481. Great to see you surprised!
    2
  16482. omg i'm so jealous of her to be able to speak both mandarin and japanese fluently
    2
  16483. so happy he got to see and spent time with your family
    2
  16484. I love ridding my bike along the coast in Maine every week end good exercise it's good to have a well tuned bike and good tire pressure a lot people do that here there are paths just for bikes good sidetrack with that guy.🚲🇺🇸😁😷🌷
    2
  16485. I know the word "book" in almost 8 languages including Latin.
    2
  16486. Murderdolls! Hell yeah!
    2
  16487. Thanks for taking the long train ride down to Yokohama! Chinatown there is obviously loaded with content for you, so we're happy to see your visits. Next time, please get your fortune told! That would be so interesting to hear what they say, both in terms of language but also for the unique experience.
    2
  16488. That pretty video 🤩 , hi! greetings from México 🇲🇽
    2
  16489. The moral of the story is, you won't achieve anything in life without working for it
    2
  16490. Finally took the plunge after watching your videos to sign up for Japanese lessons at the local university on the side of work, and signed up to Japanese Pod 101 :)! I already made a friend on Hello Talk who i talk with but they have to speak so much english for me. I look forward to learning the language and being able to speak back to them and understand what they are saying :)!
    2
  16491. im feeling close to u and the people in video.. u make such a good vlog :((( Thank uuu
    2
  16492. There's a huge difference between what you do ("I studied multiple languages for a lot of years and therefore can speak them well so videos of interaction are actually educational") and what a lot of others do ("I can sorta speak two languages but I'll add like 3 days of 30 other languages so I can say 50 things and make videos for me").
    2
  16493. Hey Anming. Thanks for your posts. So. Have you ever departed from Kadena on a 747 on JAL business class? Best flight of my life. Hot, wet towels were a plus too.
    2
  16494. Love your videos. Please continue to inspire people. 🙏
    2
  16495. Dang you’re rich!
    2
  16496. 7:09 this is seriously awakening my travelling years especially in Vietnam😭 Meeting new people and just talking about their travels or life, such a great moment! I'd say the same for Russians but it's a little hard since they naturally have cold personalities but that doesn't mean everyone is like that, I've met some incredible people in Moscow and most of my school friends are just the sweetest peeps out there! 9:54 you can tell that you just made that woman's day ♡
    2
  16497. This gave me a good laugh, not that I understood what happened tho this is too much for my young soul😂
    2
  16498. Thank you for sharing. ☺ The Northeast sounds fascinating!
    2
  16499. They don't mean it "when they say ur japanese Is good " 😭😭😭my kokoro just broke in two 💔💔

  16500. Really great show! Love the guy singing! Cute, smart, and very entertaining! ✌️
    2
  16501. Your friend Katie is cool, she can be a model beside being a dancer, mixed marriage always produce beautiful looking child.
    2
  16502. Give me a hug, american style 🤣
    2
  16503. Whats his twitch name

  16504. Each time someone subscribes, it is a hug for Tommy!
    2
  16505. Your hair is so long and luscious owo
    2
  16506. Nice to see all those reactions. How about learning Dutch?
    2
  16507. Wow, not only you can speak fluent Japanese but Mandarin as well. I'm super impressed. 👏
    2
  16508. Your videos are amazing, and so are you ❤
    2
  16509. This was a great video, you two have such great, friendly energy and I do hope you get to do more videos! I'd love to see more dance related stuff, as well as find out what life was like in Aomori vs Tokyo. What does she miss from the countryside? What is her favorite thing about both places? Thanks for sharing!
    2
  16510. 素晴らしい 👏👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
    2
  16511. Yayy see u after a long tym 🥺..U look so beautiful nd ur boyfriend is also so sweet💜💜.. great video May God bless both of u🥰🥰🥰
    2
  16512. oh cmon, not all manga/anime are drawn that way. you're just looking at a genre not suited for you.
    2
  16513. I know it would be sort of a copy-cat video idea, but it would be pretty cool to see you give out some traditional American foods, explaining what it is and seeing how people in Japan like it! Could be worth a try one day just to see how many views it gets ^_^
    2
  16514. 真好，你的普通话非常好呀！在中国几年啊?
    2
  16515. this was very sweet to watch, your videos give me hope for the future!!! thank you anming!
    2
  16516. The seamless switch from Mandarin to Japanese was dope.. lol
    2
  16517. "Why not me?" Is the best part of this vid😂
    2
  16518. They are doing the same in Thailand as well, they like to put people pretty quickly behind an etiquette. I'm often asked if i am from the US and they are actually sometimes shock when i reply i'm actually from France. Then sometimes they instantly reply, oh you are like M'Bappé lol Have a great weekend ahead ❤
    2
  16519. It's nice to see how far you came I wish you the best and I would really like to see some videos in America what does your husband think about it
    2
  16520. Funny how I prefer southern Chinese and Cantonese probably for the same reasons. I find the northern thick nasal accent annoying 😆🤣
    2
  16521. I love your videos...such a beautiful country and people, very wholesome, and your interaction with the locals is wonderful ..... from near London/ UK
    2
  16522. 4:07 くれちゃんだ！💓
    2
  16523. Mann.. love watching your videos.. it's like I'm actually there.. wish I can go.
    2
  16524. Gweilo means "ghost person" ( "ghost bloke") on account of white people being white and pale like a ghost. Although widely used especially in Cantonese speaking communities it is today considered mildly racist and not to be used.
    2
  16525. I didn't get very far out, but I tried to go way off the regular path and areas you'd expect tourist. It was amazing, in Kyoto, I ran into a kids martial arts class and a parent waved me over to sit beside him, watched for over an hour until it was pretty late and the adult class started, I left shortly after
    2
  16526. I have been reading how Japan is bankrupt now, which is hard to believe because they keep the dark underbelly of their social problems very hidden. Thank you for this video and others like it. Keep shining a light on these serious problems, and the neglect of the poorest elderly, and perhaps some Japanese official, will feel enough shame to do something about it.
    2
  16527. Can't wait for your next video!
    2
  16528. U gotta learn Korean next.
    2
  16529. I have few questions. How much of a basic vocabulary did you have before you ventured onto Hello Talk? I have a basic transactional grasp on Japanese, but when conversations moved to similar meaning phrases, or ways of saying things, that I was either unfamiliar with or unable to comprehend. My comfort improved as I used the language but when I watch Japanese movies and TV I find my comprehension varies between 10% to maybe 40% of the conversations. I would say I mostly get around 20% of what is being said. I find that different peoples manner of saying things that I think I should understand, can sometimes render me totally confused and my language vocabulary seems like a Shinkansen blowing by me in the Eki. It goes by me so fast that I can't grasp words to make a response and am basically rendered mute. Also, although I feel very confident in my English vocabulary and ability to use the language in multiple situations. What materials should I have to ensure I'm able to uphold my end of the language exchange. I'm a crappy speller in English which translates to me being a crappy speller in Japanese. In English I can spot my mistakes, and given time to properly proof read, I can correct most mistakes, but in a rush the wrong or misspelled words jumps in. With auto correct sometimes changing things, what I meant to write turns into confusing gibberish. I wouldn't want to pass my deficiencies onto someone who is trying to learn proper English. As you have taught ESL and as a user of Hello Talk I feel your insight would be beneficial for me on my journey. Thanks for this video enlightening as always.

  16534. I have been very lucky to come across your videos and this particular one. I am in the early stages of learning Japanese and have been wondering about the different methods of learning the language and what would be best. Thanks to you and your sound advice I am now fully equipped to get going properly! So thank you :) x

  16535. I would love to visit Vietnam someday it's so cool to see other countries and learning about our world first hand. I love this video and it truly shows how your parent's adventurous spirit was handed down to you how cool is that! 😍 Oh and I was born and raised in Arizona now living in another state! Still proud of AZ...LOL...I can relate to the Cowboy thing!

  16543. I love, love, love, love watching your video. It inspires me to make a goal to visit Japan which I always wanted to do since when I was young. And also finally started to learn Japanese which I finally got around to it after putting it off for so many years. Keep up with the video!

    2
  16553. I really do learn so much Japanese from you. Do you ever consider doing lessons? Its so easy for me to pick up sentences when you speak and i love it!
    2
  16554. you could make an endless series like this :)))) so cool !!
    2
  16555. Anming, I find your videos really inspiring. Seeing how you interact with Japanese and Chinese people is so charming and you have such a lovely positive energy. I started learning Japanese last year and find it so insanely difficult, but when I see the fun you have with people it makes me keen to study hard and hopefully get to your level.
    2
  16556. It's a nice party trick to speak fifty languages, but their knowledge may only be an inch deep. Fluency lets you have real conversations, where it is about the other person, not just "Hey, look at me, I'm speaking their language."
    2
  16557. Ever thought of translating the English to your Chinese viewers? I'm sure they'd love it ;]
    2
  16558. Wow! You speak three languages so well!! Being a language teacher as well, I'd like to say this is really inspiring for learners!! :)

  16566. I'm American, and I spent 3 summers in Japan when I was 19, 20, and 21- I'm obv super impressed with your skills- and one thing I noticed was that your physical mannerisms changed when speaking Japanese, too- the female Japanese laugh, the hands to the mouth, body language- everything. Interesting!
    2
  16567. I was so into this video that at the end when you said goodbye and started waving your hands I automatically waved back. 🤣🤣🤣 What a great video editing skills you have. Never a dull moment. Thank you.
    2
  16568. Awesome video Anming !Really enjoy these types of video !

  16569. i love your videos, they're so heartwarming and real! xx

  16572. If an earthquake like that comes to italy, all would collapse 😂, that's why I love Japan, it's so secure and calm hahaha
    2
  16573. Great video. I some what get it but I'm not a foreigner in the US. A lot of people confuse me for Chinese or Filipino. Some people start talking to me in those languages. But when I say I don't speak that language they ask what am I. I'm actually Mexican American. They are surprise. Even when I talked to people in school sometimes they asked me and they say I look asian. I say I'm asian by heart though ✌.
    2
  16574. Please continue doing more videos! They are wonderful, and the fact that you are inserting subtitles make them more useful for us the people who are studying mandarin. You are such an inspiration! Thanks.😎🌎

  16577. It is part of acceptation, we will never be like others, we are just like we are and the differences remains but with respect for me and everybody.
    2
  16578. You have the most entertaining videos on YouTube. Maybe because I love Japan. But speaking so many languages must stagger these masked people. I love your videos. I sorely miss Japan.
    2
  16579. Akihabara would be my first stop. For sure, when I finally visit. 😂 My money would go on food, arcades and collectables lol. Always good vibes though with your vids. 😁

  16585. When I moved to Texas from a small town in Malaysia, I felt right at home, not because the people there reminded me of home, but because there was diversity of people that made me not stand out so much. Then I moved to Boston, and it turns out my Malaysian (by way of Britain) English accent, combined with my recently picked-up Texas accent combined to convince the locals I had Bawstahn roots. Go figure. You're right though. It's just wanting to fit in. But being unique is fun too. BTW, Anming, here's a tip on how to stop getting these reactions: STOP. CHECKING. OUT. EVERY. SINGLE. FOOD. STORE. YOU. PASS. BY!! Ha! It's possible a local Japanese person might actually get a chance at a xiaolongbao. Love your videos, but you make me hungry.
    2
  16586. I love how you address words and things that they are saying so that there is no confusion.
    2
  16587. I really love ❤️ the shocked faces 😮 when they don't expect perfect Japanese, Chinese, or Korean..... I've been studying Italian in hopes I can visit my mother's family in Sicily someday. I've got to the point where I can read and understand some, but I need to study more. I love watching your show. Keep it going and keep posting! ❤
    2
  16588. That was very revealing. It appears that these Japanese store clerks don't want to be rude, but I'm sure that most just don't speak English. Maybe more corporate business types would, but a lot of us don't dwell in that world. Perhaps, advanced education professors and students, and those interested in international relations might? How many Americans even know another language other than English? I've studied French, German and Irish (what the Irish themselves call what is known as Gaeilge or Irish Gaeilge), but none of it took very well. Sadly, I don't have a gift for languages. As much as I may love Japanese art and culture, how am I going to study the language at 67 years old?
    2
  16589. I was debating whether or not to learn chinese until I found polyglot youtube. The positivity just makes me wanna learn ALL the languages! 😂It just makes everyone so happy and therefore it makes me happy 😊
    2
  16590. I just started learning Chinese about a month ago and the reactions I get from my Chinese and Taiwanese coworkers is really heartwarming. (I'm a white American) There is the initial shock of me speaking it but it quickly turns into excitement and happiness that someone not from their culture displays an interest in their language and culture. I've had people invite me to their homes in Taiwan (we are in in Australia currently). I'm learning simply because I love learning new things, especially languages. Plus I believe I have a bit of an obligation to learn other languages as I do travel quite a bit and I don't think other countries and cultures should be forced to go out of their way to accommodate me. As far as this whole video is concerned, I think there's no reason people shouldn't make the videos showing them chatting with people in their native language. It's what makes them happy and breaks down barriers regardless of fluency levels. Should they maybe find better adjectives for the video names? Yeah that would be nice
    2
  16591. You are so beautiful
    2
  16592. I appreciate your cheerfulness.
    2
  16593. Wow!! Good JoB...👏👏👏
    2
  16594. I left my phone in my taxi on the way to our lodgings. I run a gaming website on the side and all my work in on my phone, so the thought that I had lost it was devastating. Luckily, I got a receipt from the taxi driver and the people at the ryokan were able to call up the service. I had my phone back in 30 minutes. I feel like that would never happen anywhere else. So, I'm glad you left the wallet part in! We all get forgetful, but it's nice to see an act of kindness!

  16600. I have the answer....why don't we all say we are from planet Earth.
    2
  16601. There are many nice people around the world,just be nice and kind to everyone and they will be nice back.
    2
  16602. I'm sorry that you had such a bad time teaching kids. I think it's very hard to teach kids, because they continue to push boundaries and so you have to set up strong boundaries from the start. I teach a lot of kids, and even though I can speak their language fluently, I do not use it, because once you show them once they will take it as the new boundary and just keep pushing to get you to use it more and more, because it's easier for them. So I agree with your boss that you shouldn't have used Chinese, but probably for other reasons. Further, if they cannot communicate in Chinese then it forces them to learn English to get the things that they want, and to interact with you. It does sound like you are heading for something that is more suitable to you though, so good luck in the future.

  16603. Thanks Anming for sharing your videos, i enjoy them a lot.... LoL, Best regards from Mallorca Island. 謝謝 ありがとう

    2
  16608. "They are always going to tell you if you are good or not" to be fair most americans also tell foriegners that speak english that they are good too. Our language is certianly not the easiest either with all its slangs etc. I think its just a respect thing really... like wow.. you took time to learn our language? Hell ya.

  16609. Congratulations! Such a beautiful wedding! Lovely family! Prayers and good intentions towards your marriage. It is said that rain on your wedding day signifies good luck and means the marriage will last!

  16612. I love watching your videos, I can learn English and Japanese simultaneously.
    2
  16613. Incredible! I am an English teacher who has travelled the world. I was in China too. It is an extremely difficult language to learn. This woman deserves a lot of credit.
    2
  16614. It is thanks to people like you (and others) living in Japan that I wanted to start learning this language. I bought books, but I never really got into them. 2 months ago, I finally started taking private lessons with a teacher (haifu) to study seriously. I hope to be able to visit in 2-3 years, I am not trying to speak fluently, but I want my experience in Japan to be the best!
    2
  16615. I know why they went silent.... THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE A SPY!!!
    2
  16616. This video had so many feels! 😢 🥰😷 I really felt your message and appreciated it. Sending hugs!
    2
  16617. I like manly looking guys, like the old days in film with the samurai. Do not like feminine guys at all, dated a few and always wear bad. My hubby has no beard but would love him too grow out out and his ancestors was samurai. Yay. We need to hang out!
    2
  16618. You're a big kid! Stay curious...

  16619. Thank you for posting another video!

  16620. It's amazing to see other real estate markets around the world. I share a house with my older brother and his family and are father who recently retired. We live in a small town in northern Washington state. The house is almost 5000 square feet and cost us about $750,000 3 years ago. Congrats on 1M subs. Matt C.

  16621. Wow Richard amazing
    2
  16622. It would be cool for you to learn Wenzhounese it’s like a mix of Japanese and Chinese and it’s a HUGE challenge
    2
  16623. I have an idea. Talk to Japanese people in Chinese and get their reactions (then switching to Japanese of course).
    2
  16624. The natives are shocked and appreciative and respectful however the non natives get mad and ask to stop..... What a world to be living in 🤦‍♂️ Keep shocking natives and spread the love for languages ✌️.. Respect from Sudan
    2
  16625. Really great idea for a video. I used to live in Japan (I'm from California). I've never been to Detroit. Watching this was interesting because as an American we all have an idea about Detroit. But I could watch also through the eyes of someone from Japan having lived there and speaking the language. At first I was thinking, oh my god, please don't take your Japanese husband to 8 Mile. But you opened my eyes too. Anyhoo, thanks for this eye opening and interesting perspective of your home town.
    2
  16626. I have just found the Americans living in Asia channels who speak the languages and am really enjoying them. People enjoy it when you can speak their language.
    2
  16627. U speak really good Japanese

  16632. I loved watching an actual real world conversation. I’ve been learning Japanese and it was neat to understand some of the words.

  16633. I live in Detroit!!! It’s so awesome to see Tommy’s reactions to everything! I love your videos!!

  16634. Good video thanks!

  16635. Chicken legs are so great it has to be a compliment. Love your shows.
    2
  16636. Thing is, it's as though the Japanese think being skinny/underweight isn't unhealthy either. Yes being overweight is bad. But being skinny means your bones and inner organs become very exposed, you feel colder in the winter and have a lower immune system. I'm glad to be a normal, healthy weight. Not fat OR skinny!

  16643. Damn I wish I could speak other languages like you! Awesome the transitions.
    2
  16644. Please keep giving us more videos. Look forward to them.love Japan videos also do some on South Korea.
    2
  16645. I'm American. Videos like these resonate here because of our familiarity with the experiences of immigrants to the U.S. Depending on where you live in the U.S. virtually everyone knows people born in other countries, living here on green cards, etc. For me, a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law both are immigrants, as was my father-in-law (all three from different countries). Yes, it is natural to feel love for your home country and your adopted country, and everyone can benefit from the cultural interactions. It's all good.
    2
  16646. You have a lovely disposition. Hope you and Tommy enjoy your new apartment.
    2
  16647. You said the Taiwanese didn't give much reaction, but I think they had the best reaction and were the most friendly 😉
    2
  16648. This is the best video youve ever made! Make it a series and you will be one of my favourite channels :D

  16652. For some reason I didn't see this video before. I worked at Disney World Orlando. I loved it. That on seems smaller but cute. Kawaii? I love how everything has some Chinese tones. Your boyfriend is so dry funny! And u are just so natural. Love the video
    2
  16653. The content I've been waiting for. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
    2
  16654. I dream of a world, where everyone accepts everyone else from every culture and language is not a barrier anymore, but just as in your video, knowing the language breaks down all barriers.
    2
  16655. Looking forward to the journey! I'm trying to learn Chinese and Japanese. Thank your for sharing your journey with us. It is inspiring!

  16660. An excellent video expose on the abundant YouTube “polyglot” frauds! Well done!
    2
  16661. People tend to get nervous or even annoyed when faced with a language barrier I've noticed. My boyfriend used to work at a restaurant where all the kitchen staff spoke only Spanish and they would never really even respond to him in English, but they actually became friends once he started learning Spanish.
    2
  16662. Congratulations!
    2
  16663. wow you are such a stunning woman. Whenever I see you speaking multiple languages, I just admire and drop my jaw. It's fun that you switch your language like turning on and off a switch haha. As an English learner, I have been motivated by you.
    2
  16664. I just love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
    2
  16665. I don’t think they wanted you to leave. 😂 So sweet that you took the time to really talk with them and answer all their questions!

  16666. Every Father of a daughter has heard their daughter say something like that from 3:00 - 3:23. And have laughed! "Oh gosh, I can't even eat like a normal human being."

  16667. The moment kids aren't allowed to be honest and curious any more and have to walk on egg shells to make sure they don't "offend" with there words, is the moment the world will have reached his lowest of lows. Kids are so precious and inocent. We shouldn't poison them with over sensitivity. That's just how you get adults with social anxiety and selfe esteeme issues xD
    2
  16668. That guy is literally my old boss (an old chinese lady) when i work at a cafe. I can speak both malay and english fluently and a bit of japanese and there's a lot of foreigner there. XD she always did that everytime i speak english with the customer.

  16676. I've been really interested in the Akita countryside school course. I believe going to the countryside for my beginnings would be best (especially not to be overwhelmed in a big city)
    2
  16677. Surprisingly nice and short-ish video. Natural, sincere and nice
    2
  16678. I really LOVE your videos. We are planning on moving to japan but I barely know Japanese. Is there any Japanese learning things for me to know?
    2
  16679. Do you think it's not possible to study Chinese to a fluent level on your own?? I heard in the video you said "Formal study is necessary for Chinese"
    2
  16680. I love this!!What a beautiful and refreshing way to cross bridges and teach so many rare treasure. Thank you, amazing.

  16681. 2:50 You are a bad girl 😂😂😂

  16682. I like her, in the second grade my teacher taught us all about Christopher Columbus being the first to discover America. I had two issues 1 the natives that he met were already there and 2 Leif Erickson was before Christopher. My report card stated I talked to much. I constantly questioned my teachers and so did my kids. My dad bought my daughter the book “lies my teacher told me” because she had the same inquisitive mind as myself 😂

  16683. I’m Mexican. I’m teaching my daughter Spanish. Her daddy is Italian but doesn’t speak a lick of it. So English/Spanish & random Italian things I taught myself are going to her. ❤️❤️

  16684. Thank you oriental Pearl this really helped me alot thank you!❤👍

  16685. I have to disagree with some of the conversation concerning cultural differences. While not everyone is humble, this painted Americans as a whole as arrogant, overconfident, and lacking in kindness. I can say that though we are confident to a degree, that confidence is tempered by a deep care and compassion for others. There is nothing wrong or to be apologetic about concerning feeling special. Every person was made uniquely and has something special to offer this world. To everyone reading this, God loves you and has made you wonderfully in His image. Blessings to everyone, and may God protect each of you.

  16686. I enjoyed this video, those little Japanese horses are so cute. And then he said that they eat them that made me sad. 🤢

  16687. Before the second guy leaved, I honestly thought he was your friend, not someone you just met at the street. It's really amazing.
    2
  16688. Yay, you guys had so much fun!
    2
  16689. your bravery is amazing! I wouldn't dare speak to random strangers ahahahaI speak canto, mando, & Japanese in addition to English! Tho I'm an ABC, your mando is definitelyyyyy WAYYYY better ! From watching your videos I definitely think your Chinese is stronger than your Japanese, but nonetheless so cool you're learning both! I wish more people from Western countries will learn Asian languages & culture!
    2
  16690. This really hit me hard. I just lost my sister to a rare cancer in October.. nothing prepares you for something like that. I know the anxiety and stress that comes with it. Thinking of you and wishing you the best. It's really awesome of Pearl to use her channel and reach to help!<3

  16700. I'd like to go tag along with my cousin during his business trips, but with a 98% conviction rate, without due process, without a day in court, without a dedicated lawyer, lazy police, Japan kinda looks like a Barbie version of the U.S.S.R.
    2
  16701. At 2:00... Me: GOSH! It's Harajuku! (I really recognize the crepe there) hope I say the right place..cuz you say that you're in Tokyo so it's Harajuku.... Btw, I'm a japanese from Osaka! はじめまして～

  16717. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. Anyway. How cool is this (aside from the rain)? I like the Burmese architecture. By the way. How's your Burmese coming along?
    2
  16718. I guess I can understand it must get annoying after a while especially in the actual country. For example speaking chinese in China. I can understand the excitment when you speak Mandarin in Japan though. These people are probably excited to hear their home language, especially when spoken by a russian-looking american girl ( jk :P ). It is probably a cultural thing I guess, but I am native to Quebec, Canada. French is my mother tongue. When I see a foreigner speak French, I don't get excited. To me, this is normal speaking French here. If you don't then we can easily revert to English, and I'm not mad at all, but I don't really get the excitement of seeing a foreigner speak french. However it is very multicultural here. Most people you see is a "foreigner" So if I was to be excited every time I see a non-caucasian speak french, I would be in for some very exciting times! XD However, when I visit the US or any other non-French places, including central and western Canada where they mostly speak English only, I do get excited to meet people speaking French, no matter how broken their French is.
    2
  16719. Very educative video, interesting topic. One will always hear the truth from a child's mouth. You speak such good Japanese. Congratulations! I subscribed to your channel. また、日本語能力の向上にも努めています。どうしてあなたは日本語を学ぶことを選んだのですか？ただ興味があるだけ。これがあなたへの音楽の贈り物です。異文化の子供たちがピアノ音楽にどのように反応しているのだろうか。ほとんどの子供たちがそれにたくさんの熱意を持って反応すると私は確信していますが、それは興味深いトピックになるでしょう。ありがとう。

    2
  16734. This is real journalism Pearl, thank you for the respect you show. Good job not making people into a spectacle or seem lesser than.

    2
  16746. I’m chinese so when I went to Japan they were more shocked than impressed by my Japanese 😔 Like “wait... are you even Japanese?” But I guess that means I blend in well when I’m not speaking?
    2
  16747. Thank you so much Oriental Pearl for making the effort to open my eyes to the reality of Chinese culture and how they perceive education. I live in Canada and have little knowledge of the reality of not just China but the mindset of the CCP and their ways of education. You are awesome and I am now a subscriber!

  16748. I live in Calgary and we have a few cat and dog cafe's. I've never been though. Maybe I'll go now and pretend I'm in Tokyo =p

  16758. Hey there Pearl. Did you see that Japan might let independent tourists enter Japan from October? I'm talking no need to make tour arrangements via Japanese travel agency/free visa tourist travel. I'll still work in Beijing a few months and most likely return the first week of Chinese new year. :D
    2
  16759. Found your channel yesterday and I’m addicted!! You are so smart and beautiful! I was born in Detroit, Mi., as well!! Live in Tennessee now. My husband went a few years ago on a mission trip to China. ❤️

  16760. Congratulations beautiful girl I love you so much 🇺🇸❤😍🇺🇸❤😍
    2
  16761. Wow that is a very high percentage of elderly people. With my culture the elderly are intrinsic part to the family unit. They are taken care of, respected, and honoured. Would this be the same in Japanese culture? Are there slums outside the big cities? It would be interesting to know how the elderly are treated in the rural areas?

  16767. There’s over 2.000 comments on this video already, but I hope you see this. Don’t listen to the haters. Your videos share culture and promote positive behavior. The world needs this kind of content! 😀
    2
  16768. It’s simply a matter of practice. When you learn your “Native Tongue” as a child, you have no choice but to find/understand/learn the word, or else nobody will understand you ! That’s how you need to approach learning a foreign language! ... IF you want to learn fast and thorough. If you half ass it.... it’ll take you over a decade !
    2
  16769. Just found you, and been loving your videos. Definitely subscribed. :) Question, do you dream in Chinese?
    2
  16770. Next year I will start studying Japanese as my 4th language. I am very excited :))
    2
  16771. You are living your best life for sure....love your videos! :)

  16772. Good to see you be a bit more aggressive at starting to chat up people. That's what we all like to see.
    2
  16773. Does she have a YouTube channel also?
    2
  16774. Is it only me who think her voice is similar to billie eilish 🤔
    2
  16775. I forgot about SerpentZA , He is the only exception who youtubed in Chinese community and Chinese wet market in Tokyo and talk with Chinese living in Japan in Mandarin Your good point is that you relativize yourself from the viewpoints of three cultures, which no other English speaking youtuber has done. Most of them are living in a foreign bubble , which is a bubble only for English speaking foreigners and talking about and complaint about Japan from the inside of bubble.
    2
  16776. Haha. Can i say that i hardly heard of michiganians, heck the whole of midwestern state ever interested in living oriental while mastering the top 2 oriental languages. My GAWD. Can i say you are now the best representation in bridging west 2 east like bruce lee bridging east 2 west in the 60s.😇😇😆😆I always assumed the folks that love asian living are normally from big cities like LA San Fran Chicago NYC which is home 2 the biggest Chinatown in the world. After i subbed your channel, i also busted own my myth already. I dare welcome you all west, whichever US state you are from to oriental living.😄😆I also like wishing you also staying healthy in this dark period.😇😇

  16777. Hi, it is so much fun watching your video's! Not only because of the language thing, but also because of you being so kind and funny and chearful.

  16806. I am going to tell you something. You became an inspiration to me to learn Japanese. After I watched your video switching to Japanese from chinese I admired you very much. And I decided to learn Japanese. I have been learning it for a week already.
    2
  16807. You look beautiful with kimono ... 🇲🇨
    2
  16808. The structure of face of both guy and girl is same, so definitely life couple.

  16817. It seems that, separate from tones, there are different types of r sounds. Also, I love your mask at the pikachu place.
    2
  16818. Watching your videos keeps me motivated to keep studying Japanese, so thank you! I'm 16 and want to be able to learn as many asian languages as you are right now :) I want to study abroad in Japan someday, hopefully when I'm 20. Do you have any tips on staying motivated to learn Japanese and other asian languages? ^^ I would appreciate it so much if you responded!!! <3 also, I've been seeing a lot of hateful and racist comments and I wanted to say I admire you for being so positive. you are truly one of the biggest inspirations of mine!!! :D
    2
  16819. Was that a Magnolia or a Plum tree in blossom?It was gorgeous.I've been watching Japanese anime since the 1960's and my total Japanese vocabulary is about 30 words,but I read subtitles with real authority.

  16820. Omg it’s been forever since I’ve been here! Your channel has grown so much!!’ Wow!
    2
  16821. Your amazing..now learn Navajo....my language 🤗
    2
  16822. I am falling in love with you Anming 😂 I am in this f**** isolation, under movement restriction (can't exit from my city, and it's even prohibited go out for jogging) and I watch a lot of your video. I envy the fact that you can walk freely 😂
    2
  16823. I love your video's
    2
  16824. This kind of vlog is more entertaining than before, great job anming :) Cheers from Jakarta - Indonesia

  16827. 嗨，安明（ANMING）告诉你我的朋友，我有胡子哈哈，加上我很帅的哈哈jk，只是为了好玩
    2
  16828. Wow your Japanese is so good! I’m in my second year at uni studying Japanese and my skills aren’t nearly as good as yours, admittedly it’s a long process and I have never been to Japan since I starting studying the language. How long have you been practising Japanese?
    2
  16829. So we did venture to a new place. Awesome! And the boyfriends were the impetus for the language learning. 😂I like seeing Japanese people in your videos who can speak foreign languages in addition to English. When I lived in Japan, I knew a Japanese girl who was fluent in Spanish. Question... What language do you dream in?
    2
  16830. To be honest your Mandarin is really unusually good, especially the accent/mannerisms. There are a decent number of Westerners who have studied Chinese and have a native-level command of vocabulary and grammar, but even these highly educated speakers often have a pretty obvious accent - I think it has something to do with the way vocal chords develop? I interact with a fair number of Mandarin-speaking Westerners in my work and if I ran into someone who spoke with an accent as good as yours I'd probably make a comment about it lol. That said, it's also true that people in China will compliment your Chinese even if you can string three words together into a sentence.
    2
  16831. As always your videos are amazing. I fully enjoy them. And I found the peoples responses to you very amusing. 😂 have a wonderful day!
    2
  16832. YEY 100K SUBS
    2
  16833. I’ve been there. Beautiful campus.
    2
  16834. This is so beautiful, I'm sitting here crying. You've reinvigorated my desire to learn, thank you for popping up in my suggested videos, I'm now subbed. The way they kept offering you things in the store to keep you there, they didn't want you to leave; you probably gave them an experience they will talk about for the rest of their lives. This sort of interaction and sharing of humanity is what dreams are made of.

  16835. how to get a girls number in japan: walk 14 dogs
    2
  16836. Chinese and Japanese! And you speak both of them! IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE! No words... Bravo!!!
    2
  16837. You literally speak about 95% Japanese in comparison to a Japanese professor in Japan you must have a highly developed part of your brain that allows you to pronunciate accurately as far as the Japanese accent as well you remembering very well what you hear and express it so identical when it comes to you mimicking👏🤓
    2
  16838. Dang It ❗ My craving for learning Japanese and Mandarin intensified after seeing this video
    2
  16839. Great video! Keep them coming. I'm an older ABCer of the baby boom generation who grew up in middle America speaking mainly Canto and the cantonese variants of Taishan and Kaipinghua which was still spoken in most US Chinatowns during the 1960s and 70s. Took up Mandarin around 2007 but still have a long way to go to get to a comfort level of conversation. I'd be happy to get it to where I can speak it as well as Kaipinghua,

  16840. Hey anming I’m trying to learn Japanese but I don’t know what words I should write for flash cards any suggestions

  16843. Wonderful to see Japan like this. I love it. Thank you.
    2
  16844. Your videos helped inspire me to finally start learning Japanese. As you recommend, I'm starting with Pimsleur. I'm planning to visit Japan sometime in the next few years, and would like to be able to at least converse with the locals a little. BTW, I'd recommend adding "buy me a coffee" links, as it's nice for no-obligation, one-time donations.
    2
  16845. When did you start learning chinese??

  16852. Jess is a sweet, beautiful and amazing archer, don't have a clue who she is! Follow her on her social networks (jessintokyo) instead of watching drama videos. You are famous Jess!! 😄😘

  16856. I subscribed because I am a fellow Michigander

  16857. Watching this video premiere at the park with a matcha latte when it was snow flurrying out was quite the experience. I’m a little cold but it was well worth it! 🥶 ❄️
    2
  16858. I’m also a Michigander!!! I love your videos and your attitude about everything. You’re so positive and inspire me to learn more languages! I love your videos!
    2
  16859. Wow. So sad to see. All over the world many feel the impact of being homeless or struggling to survive. 😭. That was really eye-opening. Thank you for sharing.
    2
  16860. I had D Grade Japanese language skills when I travelled. Thought everyone in Osaka was much nicer than Tokyo, just because their attitude to foreigners was way more chilled. Will definitely travel to Hokkaido and rural areas when I get to go back!

  16861. Miss you my heart is yours ❤

  16862. In the biopic about the baseball player Moe Berg he goes to Japan with his team. He approaches some Japanese guys and says something like 'This is the only Japanese I know but I have learned this to impress my friends. Please react to what I'm saying as though I have told you a good joke.' When we went to Greece with our 10 month old daughter who had very short hair we learnt two phrases not to say but to understand 'Is that a boy or a girl' and 'how old is she.' Everywhere we went people came out with these two phrases and were very impressed when we answered them in simple Greek. I speak reasonably good conversational French but after many years I have far from the knowledge of a native speaker.

  16863. She's so pretty! She reminds me of crystal Kay

  16864. Japan's wild. People just stand out in the street and play some real-life Beyblade and talk about foreigners coming to Japan to study.
    2
  16865. Hello, (T)ry (A)nming’s (L)earning (K)ickstarter! :D
    2
  16866. I am so impressed with the various languages you speak. Keep it up!
    2
  16867. How old are you now? I would like to learn japanese korean and chinese. I started japanese some months ago and i will go to study japanese in Japan for 1 year and a half next October. Youre such a good inspiration
    2
  16868. Coming back to your channel after a while and seeing that you kept up with your Korean studying is really inspiring. Keep up the great content!
    2
  16869. Is it too expensive to own a car in Japan or is it just not convenient?
    2
  16870. The chocolates look wonderful. Are they made in Japan......are they great quality? as Japan is not known for its chocolate. Cheers from Australia.
    2
  16871. Konnichiwa, it’s so good to see you post a video again. I really enjoy these so much, I do enjoy watching you, you have such nice expressions. 😀

  16872. Another genuine and perfect video. 10/10 again. 75k by September 1st

  16873. Yea!!!

  16874. Enjoyed watching , love your interaction with the people you meet. I so admire your skill of communicating I their language, super cool. I love languages, I'd love to learn Spanish. It all takes discipline. Take care 👋🏽
    2
  16875. Happy New Year and thank you all for sharing your home with us! This was so interesting and full of joy. His parents are so lovely and sweet. You and your fiance are adorable together! Hope you have an amazing year of the Tiger!

  16876. When I started dating my wife who is Japanese I told her I'd love to meet her parents. I didn't realize it was something you did when you were ready to get married. She seemed a bit shocked I said that since we just started dating. I didn't realize it was a huge deal. The first time I met them was after I proposed and moved over there. They ended up being super nice to me and we got along just fine. From our first date to being engaged to being married was around 6 months total. Looking back it was too @#$%^%$# fast and crazy to do that.
    2
  16877. I heard that not just books and apps when we learn our mother tongue we get immersed in it that very immersion is required for japanese tooo so there is no better way to learn japanese than in japan 😁
    2
  16878. I never expect there are homeless in Japan ,God bless you people for helping them.
    2
  16879. The university building looks so beautiful
    2
  16880. In my experience, here in the Netherlands, we say that people speak good dutch is to encourage them. You can here that from our intonation and entusiasm (???). It is a honor when people take the effort to speak a bit of dutch. And really, you make very good videos. They are good because the subject is a recurring chain of the same words. That gives a listener a lot of practise. I recognised many many words this time and sometimes even complete sentences. What do you think of my english? Can you tell it is not my first language? Thank you. Looking forward to your next video!
    2
  16881. You are my favorite polyglot I love you ❤😍🇺🇸
    2
  16882. As an American businessman who’s lived in Japan and who speaks Japanese, I would highly recommend learning Mandarin instead!
    2
  16883. I love how you naturaly talk to everyone
    2
  16884. I am going to quit and have a long break and think what I should do in the future.💪🏻与君共勉

  16888. That little girl wearing a black dress and a red bow 4:00 kinda reminds me of Kiki from Kiki Delivery Service.
    2
  16889. Holly shit your Chinese are great!
    2
  16890. You are right around my neck of the woods. It's cool to watch. I didn't know there was such a ghetto street art place, kind of cool.
    2
  16891. That looks so fun and they were so nice I definitely need to ride when I go
    2
  16892. Just discovered your channel think it's awesome will recommend to all others but I'm like your grill needs attention a buitiful girl with all due respect shouldn't have a grill like that well no one should. If I have offended you I sincerely apologize it is not ment as an insult
    2
  16893. Videos are fine. Let the naysayers go elsewhere
    2
  16894. I say that to people all the time and it instantly makes them stop being douchebags lol. "Did...you....have a bad dayyyy?? Orrrrr..." lmao

  16906. Can you please be my sensei. I really want to learn the language and live there when I get older.

  16907. @8:15 i thought the train station music has changed HAHA! blends in well with the BGM
    2
  16908. I have helped Spanish friends learn English and found that it's not that you shouldn't correct them when they speak, but it depends on the context of the conversation. I always look at it as two friends talking and in that case its a matter of ignoring small mistakes or correcting the odd phrase by correct repetition, so as not to break the flow. I only tend to go into grammar etc. when they specifically ask. I quickly tired of people who just corrected every Spanish mistake I made (and I still do make a lot). Its also good to remember that unless you make a massive mistake, native speakers are so good with their own language that they still understand what you are saying no matter how much of a hatchet job you make of communicating.
    2
  16909. Oriental Pearl oh my gosh, do I have a story for you! Late 2016 I was visiting the Nagasaki Prefecture with some friends. I had set up our itinerary and had made plans on the app Couchsurfing for the 5 days we would be there. The first day we set out for the Nagasaki's Atomic Peace Park and Memorial Museum from Sasebo. We were able to navigate fairly easily to the tram station and set off early, Nagasaki being the end of the line. It was an awesome trip until I realized AT THE MUSEUM that my wallet was missing! I thought I'd be devastated, but something inside told me it was going to be okay. Well we had fun, took lots of pictures and after a long day we finally got the Sasebo station and I was chased down by security. They stopped me and handed me my wallet (with everything including USD and Yen) and let me know somebody returned it that morning. They had found it on the counter next to the ticket booth. I hadn't stressed about it, but still felt great relief!! I was so grateful for that person that turned in my property. Goodness, day 2 we were supposed to stay on someone's tea farm just outside of Fukuoka and he was going to be our tour guide the the city and take us out to Hiroshima. The sponser contacted me and informed me that unfortunately it had rained so hard that the road to the farm was inaccessible. Everyone was pretty bummed but instead of going out to the city we stayed in Sasebo and found many hidden gems! We went to a street market and ate fresh picked oranges, hiked many mountains, found out way to many observatories, and after all of that we hiked back to find a hotel. Thankfully I was distracted by hanging lights in a giant room, so I went inside and my friends followed. It turns out a local children's orchestra/choir winter concert was going to be performed. We stayed and I'll tell you, it was quite pleasant! Many of the audience members seemed excited not only for the show, but a raffle during intermission. It was very interactive and the surrounding audience members encouraged us to sing along and do different motions with glow sticks that were handed out. I had a flipping blast!! We found a hotel with one room available and stated there for the night. The third day we killed time before it was time to head back home. Though the trip I'd not go as planned, we made the best of it and still had lots of fun! I hope my story makes you smile!! Good luck out there :)

  16910. Anming, thanks for sharing all your adventures with your beloved room mates. 🙋🏻‍♀️😉👋🏽❤️ I feel connected to your weekly excursions and I miss the ability to vacation outside my community since the quarantine. The scenes of the Countryside and rural areas are so simplistic and amazing. Your posts have drastically changed my stress level, made me smile and improve my understanding of a beautiful culture outside my beloved Country. Yes, as an Indigenous Native American Indian Woman...the United States really and truly is my ancestors homeland. Stay Safe and Positive.
    2
  16911. I really like the shock videos, I think it's cool I'm American pero hablo español con fluides porque mi amigo Puertoriqueño me enceño. Und ich kann nor ein bisten Deutsche sprechen. but the latter is becaus of my heritage ( Great Grandmother was German). but she didn't pass the language down so learning it my self. 😁😇 🇺🇸 🇵🇷 🇲🇽 🇩🇪 👍
    2
  16912. OMG I really feel sorry to him cause he seems like a good man and he is friendly! but maybe if he change his hair style it could be better it looks kind of weird to Japanese people 🙅🏻‍♀️😂😂😂.. anyway Hard luck great Nanpa!🥺💕👏🏼
    2
  16913. Wow that is seriously a long delay. Hopefully you will be back soon in China. <3 Also good tips I also think a roommate when abroad is a good idea
    2
  16914. Thanks for bringing Chinese, Japanese and American cultures together. Both your Chinese and Japanese are pretty powerful and being blonde makes a big difference in Asia. Wish u well and good luck to your awesome journey. Wish that more Americans are willing to try your paths. It's really fun to watch.
    2
  16915. I find it interesting that she say Aluminium the English way not the American pronunciation.
    2
  16916. Good video, keep doing your thing. Don't let the hater's get to you !!
    2
  16917. Wouter is my favorite "polyglot" because 1) he keeps it clean (most don't) and 2) he does the thing I cannot do, which is hear what people are saying and get the gist--I've studied many language for decades and what I've ended up is someone who can read many languages, write several languages, speak a few languages, and hear one language, albeit not very well. I could never pick up a tonal language like yall, I can't even stand it when english speakers change tones while they speak--totally throws me off.
    2
  16918. Thank you so much for this video! I love Star Wars!❤️ Especially R2D2!

  16920. Oriental Pearl They would just end up all looking the same anyway. Girls with Disney, boys with heroes...individual expression is hard in a land of conformity.

  16921. always enjoy you videos
    2
  16922. The first day I went to Japan I told my friend that going on a rickshaw would be our first ride. It was amazing and they are so nice and professional.
    2
  16923. When I went to japan for the first time in 2017 I knew zero Japanese. Maybe a year ago I started studying and I'd say I'm around N4 because I didn't study that often because of school though. But right now my listening and speaking are worse than my reading/writing, so I got to work on that to talk with people on the street because I haven't really gotten the opportunity to do that yet and practice my speaking/listening comp. In your videos it looks like pretty basic Japanese that you and the Japanese people are speaking, I could definitely make out a lot of it, and I understand now you don't need crazy grammar mastery to have fun and make new friends. I realize through your videos that learning a language unlocks so many new experiences and opportunities in the country you're visiting, and that's why language learning is so interesting to me. Because when you learn the language, you also learn part of the culture and the people as well. I want to go back to japan someday and try to do half of what you do without stuttering and making mistakes like crazy lol and I know if I study enough and practice I can. But thanks for making these amazing videos, it gives me and others confidence for the future, and a look at the kindness of the Japanese. :)
    2
  16924. Beautiful video! We love Tommy 😊 When will you see him again? 😖
    2
  16925. Woohoo, 100K + subscribers, that didn't take long! Congratulations, Anming.
    2
  16926. The way the young lady selling soap changed in attitude was magical to see it was almost as if you sprinkled a magic dust upon her Oriental Pearl, it was genuinely beautiful to witness. Language is obviously always going to be the missing link between different races and cultures, once the language is in place hey presto, all is good.
    2
  16927. Thank you for your advice. I am trying to learn Chinese, and I know that learning any new language requires consistency. I am really happy to get motivation to keep learning Chinese everyday. Who knows maybe in a few months later, I can speak Chinese then jump to learn Japanese as I love Japan also.
    2
  16928. I have a weird situation where I am american, but my parents (who are both white and one of whom speaks japanese) took me to Japan when I was a baby, so I speak fluent japanese in a kansai accent.. it's kinda awkward in japan..
    2
  16929. Anming, this Episode really personalized the Beautiful Citizens of CHINA 🇨🇳 and this is why I prayed so much for them all during the quarantine from every where and All International Countries. You proved to everyone just how persistent and intelligent 🤓 you are as a language student. I’m a fan of research and history...so I sincerely enjoy and appreciate all your posted Vlogs. I’m praying for you and your circumstances and may the difficulties be resolved easily. 🙇🏻‍♀️❤️🙏🏽💨🌏🕊
    2
  16930. Anming, thanks so much for your videos! This is a difficult time for all of us and I'm sure it's very weird for you being sort of in limbo between countries. We'll get there together and in the meantime you're keeping us and yourself entertained and informed. Keep them coming!
    2
  16931. She is so cool!!! It’s a dream to be like her 🥺
    2
  16932. Its literally fun to speak woth foreigners, especially when you are in a country where a lot of them take vacations in your area. I maybe look like a run-of-the-mill Filipino guy, but they are all surprised how fluent me and my friends english are (I blame my mum for exposing be in British and Aussie kids tv like Bananas in pyjamas and Thomas the Dampflokomotive)
    2
  16933. I can switch from German to English like you can from Japanese to Chinese but i am a native German so its only one non native language. But hearing you as a blonde western woman (sorry for stereotyping) switching so effordlessly is just amazing!
    2
  16934. I love your energy and authenticity! It would be amazing to hear more about the Chinese community in Tokyo. I don't speak Chinese, but wonder if there are any places to interact with Chinese people in an open and inclusive environment here ^-^
    2
  16935. Finally a new video 😩 we missed our “Russian” girl!

  16936. Finally, you are wearing a mask!

  16937. 中国語の勉強してる日本人です。 アンミンさんは発音うまいので動画を見ては真似してます。 この前中国人に「発音がうまいですね！」って言われました。 アンミンさんのおかげです。ありがとうございます笑
    2
  16938. Well that was fun!
    2
  16939. I wish I could do this but I’m mixed which means that people are never surprised no matter what language I speak as they don’t know where I’m from and then just expect me to speak any language that they speak lmao
    2
  16940. Nice work! Thanks for showing us all these.
    2
  16941. Using those cue tips pushes the wax in further down the ear cannal making the blockage worse. Doctors use a squeezy bottle with warm water to clean out ears and it works much better.
    2
  16942. Your kimono is beautiful! I love your videos.
    2
  16943. 初めて拝見しました。凄いですね。中国語、日本語、英語が出来るんですね。アメリカ人なのに中国語できるのは、日本人としてはちょっと嫉妬しちゃいます。

  16944. 犠牲者0ってのがすごいよな 他の国なら家崩壊してるわ

  16947. 0:58 well I did not grew up in bilingual but a quad lingual society I am from Nepal so Nepali is the must for me then there is newari language that is because i am a newar and mostly my grandparents and parents talk in newari my home then there is english that is compulsory to speak in school and in last there is hindi that i always hear cause of indian channels
    2
  16948. I love living by myself! When I moved to Europe it was lonely at first but once you make friends then it's all fine, I personally need my alone time :)
    2
  16949. I love this style of video! It's similar to some other foreign Japan YouTubers, but the difference with you being that you show yourself immersing yourself in other cultures and speaking other languages naturally. Others seem to make it into a performance which takes away from the experience they try to convey. Keep it up!
    2
  16950. You are awesome I wish I could go there to😊
    2
  16951. wow.. ur very understandable & clear
    2
  16952. Japan looks so cool omg, I will visit for sure one day! :)

  16953. I checked out the rickshaw guy's channel, and he actually did travel Route 66 in his rickshaw LOL. I thought he was making up a tale to entertain the ladies but he wasn't lying

  16954. Hi, new subscriber ♡
    2
  16955. Ahhhh! Fudan university, they all say. Like oh yes we understand and welcome you!
    2
  16956. I was in China in 2011 and 2012 studying at 北大. I might have walked right past you!! Where did you study? I’m back in the US now. I’ve started studying Japanese maybe like two years ago, so you’re a real inspiration to me!
    2
  16957. Good to know you married to a Japanese guy! Could you tell me a little about him?
    2
  16958. Just subscribed, and I love when people like you go viral and show the world that we can be connected with different cultures! It takes a very open minded individual to bridge the gap between languages and cultures. Honestly, it’s crazy that people have too much time on their hands and tiny brains too small to understand what it’s even like having a friend from another country or culture. It’s a beautiful thing but unfortunately not something their tiny brains (the haters) can comprehend. Don’t let it ever get to you! 🥺
    2
  16959. You are so cute together. Congratulations! This might be the most wholesome channel on YT fr.
    2
  16960. Just loved it..Those guys are so cool and friendly....👌🏽👌🏽 pls keep up your good work...

  16965. You are so funny but your language skills are incredible. You would probably struggle with my Glaswegian accent. Gies a dod o that ya bam. I have subscribed. .

  16968. What parts of Beijing have you been to? Since I started looking for gold in Beijing, i've gone to many places. One such place recently was Longmenjian scenic spot. Very nice place. Only down side is 40rmb each. Amazingly, if you search longmenjian in youtube, only 2 vids come up..both mine. LOL There are other vids up..but the title is in Chinese It's not a common sightseeing spot for people I imagine.
    2
  16969. 3:12 That looks absolutely delicious! 🤤 Tommy is one lucky guy.
    2
  16970. Sis, the way u speak Japanese language is almost similar like local people.

  16980. My daughter and I had a 3 week self guided holiday in Japan in January 2020 and had 3 nights in Kanazawa and took a bus to trip to Shirakawago and Takayama and guess what? It rained for us too……and there was no snow! One night in Kanazawa it rained so hard and was so windy we could only laugh at our struggles. Beautiful places though and hope to explore some more.
    2
  16981. Great Video. greetings from germany 👀👍
    2
  16982. Wow, those 5 clips had me tearing up....glad everything turned out right ...if only for a short while.... as for the virus. Everywhere over here (Australia) has gone mad for TP. There is nothing .... the clip from Ireland reminded me of my time back in the Uk before I moved. Moving to another country is not easy ... passports visas. Extended visas. I had it all. Stay strong keep that positive mind... love your videos. ♥️
    2
  16983. I’m German and moved to the US because my husband is American. But deep down I feel like my soul is part Scottish and part Chinese. People can’t wrap their brains around that🤣
    2
  16984. Congratulations you two! Absolutely perfect couple; you guys were made for one another. God bless you and the family you have started with him❤️

  16985. I really like this Girl!!

  16986. I had my ears cleared by my village doctor. He pulled a thin layer out that was covering my eardrum. (I hope I use the correct words) Great funny and interesting video.

  16992. That was cool trip to that waterfall , you definitely get wet there lol 😀

  16993. My second year in Japan I was getting ready to fly home for Christmas. I got really sick, probably from stress. I was so weak, but a friend helped me get to the airport. He carried my suitcase, accompanied me on the train, and made sure I got on my plane. There are good people out in the world. I hope you make it back to China soon.
    2
  16994. I like you and you are very honest too! Not just going for the ":reaction." Your video was interesting and you are right, I would imagine some people don't think it is a big deal. But I am very fascinated and wish I had that skillset

  17004. To me it sounds like they care about the language learning community.
    2
  17005. Sounds more like they want to make the language community online a better place.
    2
  17006. Nicely done as usual 💯 Such a great reaction video. There's no rule NOT to do it is by far the best line 😂

  17007. I love the way Japan does Halloween 🎃 but I did feel a wee bit anxious in that moment when you said "too many people" whilst being a sardine in the crowd 😮😅

  17014. Wow beautiful city... You're so really good in speaking japanese and chinese... How about tagalog? Enjoy watching from Philippines... Be safe always
    2
  17015. Thx for speaking out. We had the same experience in 2008 when we joined a tour. We were taken to a massive store that sell pearls. Man, as soon as we and all the tourists walked in, the sales people wasted no time approaching us to hard sell us. One family member was so annoyed, she just walked away in the middle of her conversation and the sales girl was upset. Your advice re Don't join a tour is right on! It's a scam! And yes, the tour guide gets mad if you bought nothing. Pretty obvious as all of them are on a commission or kickback. I enjoy the trip but the tour leaves a bad taste in my mouth. All my friends back home in Canada that joined the tour said the same thing. So if your tour/flight price is incredibly cheap - watch out. Btw, your Chinese and Japanese are amazing!

  17022. Your Japanese has Chinese accent surprisingly! I could imagine your Chinese is native level.
    2
  17023. Learning, sharing, and respecting cultural traditions is certainly an experience to remember. A challenge for sure is to do it right and authentically. Kudos to you and pals for putting in the effort.

  17031. I loved this video! It was so cool to see what a place in Japan was like. I left Ireland in 2011 to work in Greece for the summer. It was a great experience but I missed home. I admire you for the length of time you’ve been away since 2012 that’s incredible. 😊

  17048. Me trying to learn korean... so here I go I lived in korea for 2and half years and I dedicated maybe 2 or 3 hours a day sometimes I would stop for a long time because life just got busy, I married my wife who is korean, I learned more korean, I moved back to the U.S recently and well I listen to korean language(talk to me in korean) podcasts , and also im over 300 day streak on duolingo for korean and I finish the 1st level of lingodeer on the app, I dont want to pay for level 2. Recently I heard my mother in law speaking in korean and I feel I understood 95 percent of the conversation and just today I saw the Kdrama( hello me!) And realized the subtitles were wrong 😐 👀 my wife even agreed, I am still far away from fluency but I know its also important to know the social norms as well as the history, nowadays for the last few months I probably only study korean for about 15 to 30 mins everyday. I can only imagine as long as I am still consistent with the language, how good I will be in the future.👀( I think I need to brush up on my own native language (english and spanish) ive been lacking 😟

  17054. On 8:19, there was a truck coming in at the back and could've passed by first before the person in the bicycle but the truck driver literally stopped and waited for the other person to pass through first 🥺 Seeing this kind of random kindness is so admirable❣
    2
  17055. Have you ever been in a situation where they assume you didn’t speak the naive language and they talked bad about you? Would be hilarious to see their reaction when they found out you understood everything. Keep these coming!
    2
  17056. Can I get a heart pliz🥺
    2
  17057. Actually, by learning chinese and japanese to a high level such as (JLPT N1/ HSK 5/6) you could be very much fluent in 6 - 8 languages (being some latin and germanic)
    2
  17058. I want to study in either Japan or South Korea but I'm scared of going on an airplane! haha I'm from the U.S.

  17063. The only thing which make ths world a worse place is the serpent and laowhy clique, always portray China in the dark side, extremely generalize by cherry-picking, and spread hatred and disinformation between the peoples.
    2
  17064. dear Oriental Pearl, you definitively look like Ukrainian, Russian or other Slavic person at all.

  17070. I think it’s beautiful that you’ve worked so hard to learn so much about other places including their languages! It’s also so good for the mind. Science has proven that people who know more then one language are less likely to get Alzheimer’s. So keep up the good work! You inspire me to keep studying so thank you!
    2
  17071. 你的中文真的很棒很地道诶！每次我教朋友中文都觉得中文好像是世界上最难学的语言。You make it seems so easy haha keep up the good work. Your videos are amazing.

  17076. Anime Vibes🔥
    2
  17077. I find numbers mess me up like one and twenty in one language, twenty and one in an other. And pronouns I’ll mix up when learning multiple languages. Though there are times I’ll completely forget an English word (my native language) and a German one will come out naturally. Though I’m not fluent, apparently my grandparents spoke to me as a kid in it and I’ll respond in English. I suspect somewhere in my brain is fluent bc I’ve dreamt in German. Which was odd.

  17114. Oh, yes...so damn much packaging! I have really short nails, too...sometimes I end up kinda destroying stuff (food items, mostly) trying to get it out of the packaging in Japan.
    2
  17115. They you for bringing this to light. We look to japan through rose colored glasses too much
    2
  17116. I found it interesting when you said the people who wear interesting/out there clothes are not shy because I have bright purple hair and i love it but I am sooo shy and get awkward when people compliment it hahaha
    2
  17117. i want to learn japanese and go explore the japanese countryside just to meet these kind of people and have these interactions it looks like such a fun time maybe thats just because im a boring person here in america haha
    2
  17118. I've noticed the further away you are from the big cities in Japan, the more the people will give you a surprise reaction and tell you how jōzu you really are.
    2
  17119. Haha interesting

    2
  17123. I had kind of opposite experience like, people expecting me to understand samurai language in a movie, or were like you don't know anything yet even you have been to Japan because I couldn't read the Heart Sutra and explaining the meaning. Also asking me every word in a Chinese restaurant menu like because they both use characters you have to know it. That has happened when I came back from studying in Japan. Also they wanted me to approach every Asian looking tourist, when I didn't they were like your time in Japan was a waste of time but in many cases these tourist weren't even Japanese. In addition for me it's hard to approach random people on the street and start a conversation even in my native language.
    2
  17124. Fat shaming is a totally western concept, in any place outside Europe or America if you're fat you'll hear about it, because societies tend to have standards for health and stuff the only reason why you don't hear about it in the west is because most people are so jaded that they legitimately don't care about you, you can rot in a dungeon for all they care lol people will laugh at you from a distance but will not come and tell you that you should eat less because they don't care. Give me the Japanese every day of the week over jaded western society and i'm not skinny mind you, but i'm well aware of it and of my own shortcomings in that and slowly coming to grips with the fact that i overeat due to my mental health, it gives you dopamine hits and it's almost like a drug that helps one cope with life, but it's like most drugs a destructive habit so i'm determined to stop.
    2
  17125. Dear, what's the name of the App that you mentioned that we can download to play in our cars? I saw you playing ▶️ it and asking in Japanese! Please tell me, I dream of becoming a Japanese tourist some day but I need to know their language more over and over. Please I heard that you said is "Pimsa..."

  17127. You just inspired me to study more and get a good job, just to fly to Japan!
    2
  17128. I went to Australia one time and took a trip in the outback from Brisbane on the Gold Coast packed with others in a jeep. It was hot and humid and I was not in a good mood with no air-conditioning and was looking forward to getting it done with when all of a sudden a herd of kangaroo ran across in front of us and the tour guide was saying in all his years he had never seen this before. We stopped and got out for pictures. It made me forget about the heat and everything else that was causing my bad mood.
    2
  17129. While I do love the videos where you surprise people with your language abilities, these videos of simply talking and getting to know these people and the culture have been very fun and interesting to watch. Glad you've been making new friends!
    2
  17130. yeah, ill share some of the chats i have with chinese people, and my dad will say "i caution you to think about who you might actually be talking to. youre most likely talking to Chinese govt officials" etc....and im like uhhhhhh i doubt it. i dont think the chinese govt would be too interested in a chat about 包子 XD
    2
  17131. Me who is Chinese cant speak Chinese :) please help me

    2
  17141. even though i'm not that confident and fluent yet i have always tried to talk in japanese as much as i could when i was in japan. it makes japanese people definitely more comfortable to talk to you and happy and understanding even when you're not perfect at japanese. and that's a whole better experience than just trying to get by with english ^^ :)
    2
  17142. Can totally relate to that. Find comments like this racist and annoying
    2
  17143. I've been trying to learn mandarin for a little bit, but always end walking in Japan through a screen, I'm learning more Japanese lol thanks anyway I've been watching your videos for a long time I actually told you already that I watch them at least thrice greetings from Mexico
    2
  17144. I remember seeing the Colonel dressed like a member of the Shinsengumi in Kyoto. This vlog was simple, but, enjoyable. You're right, everyone will react to Japan differently, that's what makes the journey that more interesting. Thank you for your visions.
    2
  17145. What a beautiful,hectic, unexpected, crazy, fun video! You did an amazing job with this Pearl. (Is that your name?) Well done. I bet this goes viral

    2
  17158. These videos are mind blowing, I subscribe to a few YouTube channels but this one is sooooo addictive. It gives a great insight into the Asian culture and how friendly people you’ve never met are. Taxi driver was great what a champion
    2
  17159. I remember when I went to Tokyo I was trying to get to Yoyogi Park but I got off the train at the wrong stop. Ended up having to walk for like half an hour to get there, and I asked a couple Japanese people for directions along the way. Asking for directions worked in this scenario!

  17160. When is the Firework Festival in Japan I really love firework festival it is one of the thing I really want to see. I saw it from anime and I really love the firework festival 😍😍

  17161. Dude your story telling and editing is fireeeeeee!! I've lived in japan before and it was pretty lonely at times thought my language wasnt amazing. You have an amazing command of the language and your interpretation of what they're saying is really fun. Do you get lonely there with that level of language skill?
    2
  17162. When you gonna be able to bounce out of there?

  17169. It took me 4 years to learn korean and I almost gave up but I kept going...but now I'm trying to study Japanese..... and I'm in that hard place again :( but Anming's videos make me feel so much better! Keep it up! <3
    2
  17170. Nothing can beat those awesome intimate videos ! I always wanted to visit Japan, and this video just made me want it more. happy new year for you both !
    2
  17171. How can you speak Chinese so good,or Japanes?Sorry if I wrote it wrong.I’m not that good in grammar
    2
  17172. agree with most of your points but I'd also like to offer that a lot people's goals are only to learn a language and perhaps multiple languages at a relatively "low level" or as they might see it, a practical, basic, verbal communicative level. obviously that doesn't excuse people being disingenuous about their abilities though.
    2
  17173. This talk was so encouraging to learn languages, and deep at the same time.
    2
  17174. You are so talkative and easy-going person, what's the secret? I mean, wow... I'm always afraid to start a conversation even in my mother language. But you just do it. And it doesn't seem awkward or peculiar. Just wow. Every time I open my mouth, there's a huge fountain of stupidity to come out (sorry for my English).
    2
  17175. WOW this is fantastic being able to switch languages. People really open up if you speak their language, very cool.
    2
  17176. I am so jealous of you ,you have visited my dream country both CHINA and JAPAN.I wish to visit both country when i grow up and i also love the language.
    2
  17177. 你好，最近怎么样在中国?💗
    2
  17178. As usual I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and I've only watched it twice so far (lol). Now that you're more mobile have you considered visiting Osaka? The bullet train is a bit pricey though, and any other mode of transport is lengthy - the bullet train my rich relatives paid for scared the hell out of me however, you see everything out to a hundred yards as a blur because of the extreme speed (I was the only one who was deeply worried about any sudden stop... for any surprise reason that might occur... like earthquakes and landslides... you know, things that Japan is famous for.).
    2
  17179. 👌真好！

  17180. as an american living in Wales, this kind of hing happens too lol. I think there is this idea that americans dont know other cultures or other places, and so they think its very strange for one to be living on their street. America is full of people from somewhere else, and a mixing of cultures. There are not many other places on earth that have that much of a mix. Its pretty homogenious in most places. anything/anyone different, really sticks out
    2
  17181. Great Video/ Doc ✨🌏 Love From Tulsa Oklahoma 📍 I love Your Content and plan to visit Japan One day! It's always been my dream
    2
  17182. I had been checking daily for new uploads in the past week Good timing here it is :-) hope Anming has had a good week😊
    2
  17183. this is fast becoming one of my fav yt channels, love it :)
    2
  17184. That was so cool and you were very funny!! Be safe over there!
    2
  17185. I’m Taiwanese and speak six different languages:) Kinda understand how difficult it could be for Americans to learn so many Asian languages. Rly appreciate your efforts and thanks for promoting Taiwan with this video🥰 You’re always welcome to visit us anytime!
    2
  17186. hi maam im from 🇵🇭 come in vesit my country..❤
    2
  17187. After a while he won't like American big cities. Even Americans can see how America is going down hill now. The big cities are mismanaged and homeless are everywhere. My son who lives in China came home to visit and was shocked how much it has changed. America is going through a transition at the moment. I wish you the best. THanks for this video. It was great.
    2
  17188. Awesome video! Do you have any video explaining how did you learn mandarin, and how long it took you to be fluent?
    2
  17189. Watching all these Japan videos because my husband and I are missing Japan. My husband wants to move there, now. Too bad we're broke 😆
    2
  17190. I like your manners with these poor people. You are very kind hearted ;) God Bless you.
    2
  17191. For a moment I thought your friend there was a sumo wrestler 🤔
    2
  17192. YouTube collabs is a must love em
    2
  17193. I saw your pic and thought someone was calling you fake at first. I was thinking that's a load of crap. Considering the depth of conversation you have you aren't a fake.
    2
  17194. very good excurs! thank you!
    2
  17195. Thank you Anming. You are always so inspiring. :goodvibes:
    2
  17196. Subscribed you are so amazing
    2
  17197. New subscriber here I love love your videos 😊 Booked my tickets to Japan for next year I hope the travel ban is liften by then 😊
    2
  17198. I am a 34 year old 5,2 feet white male so I am used to getting weird looks or comments from children in my home country or when I travel abroad. It is sometimes hilarious seeing parents or caretakers panic over the children commenting on my height. I don`t mind it at all and I am quite used to it. So I laugh it of and respond with "everyone is different and that not two persons are the same".
    2
  17199. Pearl, I'm glad you got kicked out; you would not have found Akita otherwise. 🤔☝🏻🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
    2
  17200. You are fantastic!
    2
  17201. You know your Japanese is actually decent when people stop flattering you as they just assume you live there. Been asked if I'm half even though I don't look remotely Asian, I think people in Japan just assume from the start that foreigners won't have good Japanese. A conversational level is very surprising, anything more competent means you were probably born in Japan clearly lol.
    2
  17202. Can i speak Chinese without a tone cuz im suffer with tone it make me difficult to absorb it however i know to sound it the 4 tones
    2
  17203. that looks like you all had a blast! if i was there i would probably be in a seifuku from love live sunshine but easily would be lost lol , i remember first time i walked in the crossings in shibuya i def want to visit again i hope Japan lets tourists back soon.!
    2
  17204. Really happy for you. I hope you have an incredibly happy marriage. Also, that church is spectacular! Nothing like what we have in the UK of course.
    2
  17205. <--subscribed liked as well i enjoy your videos
    2
  17206. Love his mindset.
    2
  17207. Looks that was awe time, I hope you had spending bunches of joy and happiness with of all them 🦞🐚😁😁
    2
  17208. You are a celebrity now! :) Just wait... they may feature you on an NHK documentary. You are so genuine and so inspiring. Although my Chinese is very basic, I try and do the same thing when I am volunteering in Chinatown Philadelphia. Did you get to speak to the 外國人 in the basement restaurant? He kept looking at you in amazement.
    2
  17209. I would love to socialize with people deep inside Japan villages, i went to the big cities and language was often a barrier i would assume that barrier is even bigger in the rural part! Lovely content here 😁
    2
  17210. this woman is incredible, so much admiration and respect
    2
  17211. Drew has been in Japan for 17 years and he is not allowed to be in a hospital room with natives and has to pay for a single room??? Can someone explain this extremely discrimatory law to me? I'm shocked.
    2
  17212. This was an excellent video as usual💯 Don't listen to the people who say you have a low production quality, because it's not. I actually think the "low production quality" as they put it set's you apart from other Youtuber's as it makes you more down to earth and authentic for the regular viewer. So keep up the good work and Ganbatte on the rest of your wedding planning:)
    2
  17213. I really admire your commitment to learning Korean! Im sure you’ll make your goal! If you have time, can you possibly make a video of your perceived differences and similarities between Korean and Japanese customs/lifestyle? Thank you. I enjoyed watching this.👍🏼

  17214. 幸运饼干------中国根本没有～

  17215. I love the conversation that is going on lol
    2
  17216. If it all right to teach me Japan language if you don’t mind
    2
  17217. Thanks for interviewing other cool women in Japan Pearl :) Most of the other Japan docu-channels are run by men interviewing other men. It's nice to be able to see other foreign women thriving there! I've been trying to move to Japan for quite some time now (got my CoE) with my husband who's part Japanese, so I'm a ball of nerves :P

  17219. I wish I could meet you in Japan and I’ll come back to Myanmar with you and your love as a trip!😁 I’ll come to Japan to work as well as to meet you.❤️
    2
  17220. I read them all 😊
    2
  17221. Wow So awesome Place
    2
  17222. I enjoyed my scenic tour but I would of liked to have a longer video. I do like the fact that you take the time to answer the majority of questions and replies, in the age of the youtube to many people don't interact with their followers. Keep up the good work, and maybe we could see a nighttime video?
    2
  17223. Great fun seeing the costumes❣️
    2
  17224. I love how u can talk fluently chinese and japanese... Npw korean! Can u please let me know the links u recommend to learn korean! I am interested! GRACIAS!!!!
    2
  17225. Looked like he had a great time.
    2
  17226. im fairly certain she didnt mean anything negative by it. It was just a joke because she is asked 10000000 times a day about why she is able to speak Chinese. id crack that joke too.
    2
  17227. Her laugh clearly shows that she's joking. And even if there's a bit of confidence in her words, she isn't wrong, as Chinese (Manderin) is the world's most spoken language.
    2
  17228. Ah, another very cool vid. I feel, though, as if I'll need to drive backwards to work! Thanks for the video!
    2
  17229. Love the entire video, but the most surprising part for me was actually hearing you say "egg" in English. I don't think I've heard it pronounced that way before, but that's probably just because I'm from the southeast part of the US (North Carolina), lol.
    2
  17230. 在社區,妳很特出,美國人用他人的母語語言,令人刮目相看得到自己人的感覺,不要說遺失錢包,就算食餐都可記帳無問題.

  17231. loving your vids keep it going : )
    2
  17232. 5:23 SHE's 15?!?! No way.
    2
  17233. WE MISS THE CHINESE LANGUAGE PRANKKKK ❤️❤️😭😭
    2
  17234. I love your videos. One suggestion, reduce the gain on your mic (if you can). Many of your videos have audio clipping when you speak. Minor annoyance but your content is fun so it's easily overlooked.
    2
  17235. the dude who did the triple take killed me :P
    2
  17236. You are always so positive and encouraging...thank you for the videos :)
    2
  17237. As an IT worker, be careful here in America too. Not every company pays 6 figure salaries and you'll find plenty of overtime here as well. So no matter what country you live in, make sure you do your best not to get taken advantage of. Sometimes that is easier said then done when your area has so few options and you need a job to keep a roof over your head. I know that all too well. Good luck out there!
    2
  17238. Anming is a beautiful woman. Those comments were a bit left field. Perhaps if I lived in Japan I would ask her out for a cup of coffee. Or something else instead of coffee.
    2
  17239. “I moved to his hometown” 😂 what a flex
    2
  17240. 感觉日本人比较拘紧内向，中国人相对热情容易聊天，尤其是当你说起对方母语时🤔
    2
  17241. Yes! Katie needs a channel!!
    2
  17242. OMG, Katie should be the next star in STEP UP MOVIE!
    2
  17243. Amazing. I'm studying japanese and korean. I hope I can speak as good as you one day. I'd also love to learn mandarin 😌
    2
  17244. Hey there! You and I have a lot in common. I am from the true mitten state. You know, Wisconsin? LOL Maybe it’s just for left-handed people. Also, I learned Spanish in high school and then lived in Spain in the mid 80s for a year. I ended up becoming an ESL teacher and was able to take Japanese for free in the evenings at my school. My daughter, who is about your age, is learning Japanese and wants to go up abroad there. I have been trying to learn Mandarin for about a year. I’m just using apps like Duolingo, HelloChinese, and Chinese skill, it’s such a fascinating language. So different from English and Spanish. I love your videos they’re so much fun. Keep it up! And Go Pack Go! 💚💛
    2
  17245. Wow im impressed that an American knows this hard to learn languages rather than taking the easy way out like Spanish & French
    2
  17246. What you said about how you learn and improve language skill, really sank in. Because I've been through the same with English. I know I still make mistakes but I've learnt to ask people to correct me.
    2
  17247. In Sweden we also repeat words, like "Hej hej" = "Hi hi" or "tack tack" = "thanks thanks", but that's in spoken language only.
    2
  17248. Great video! Definitely one of my favorites :p
    2
  17249. Love your intro after the “coming up” part. You could really make something similar for your real intro to your series.
    2
  17250. The rickshaw guys are all so charming <3
    2
  17251. Wow polyglot
    2
  17252. As somebody that is trying (very slowly) to someday become a polyglot - these videos overall are extremely motivating to me. When you watch somebody like Laoshu (rest in peace, man) just walk up to people - and see their face light up in surprise, that's fun, but that's not the thing that fascinates me. What I am really drawn to is how speaking a person's language suddenly allows for a genuine human connection to be made that was otherwise impossible. And especially when it comes to people who have lived for years or decades in a foreign country, unexpectedly having a complete conversation with a stranger in their language can bring a lot of joy to them. I was already studying a foreign language, but when I came upon polyglots on youtube showing these kind of encounters, it galvanized me to branch out. And whenever I struggle with actually putting in the effort, I can come back and watch Laoshu to get me back on track a little. I agree that some creators really play up the show aspect of this, with titles and thumbnails, but also exaggerated pauses or sound effects. To a point I'm fine with this, it can infuse a bit of light-hearted comedy into the video. But I definitely see some issues with those who do it only for attention, as opposed to people like the aforementioned Laoshu who want to show the joy that comes with knowing languages. Depending on how it's done, I can absolutely see this having a detrimental effect on both language learning and just views on foreigners from the viewers.
    2
  17253. Frauds everywhere. This is why one needs discernment.
    2
  17254. Yayyy, i get so excited when you post ! Your videos gives me so much potential to learn Chinese or Japanese or any language lol once i can travel hopefully i can have that chance and possibly meet up with you ! 💕 and also i hope you have a wonderfull dayy

  17259. Another great video! I like how you keep it down to earth, and not go out your way to try to fake it just to get views. Nice!
    2
  17260. No one: Seriously no one: Japanese countryside Cicadas 24/7: Now it's time to get funky 😂

  17264. Eu gosto de ficar assistindo seus vídeos, e ao mesmo tempo que assisto, eu prático meu inglês com as legendas e escutando você falar :D
    2
  17265. I especially loved your interaction with Japanese people. Would like to see more of that and also their amazement when you spoke Chinese and switching Japanese in between. That's so cool.
    2
  17266. West Michigander here!

  17267. Guapa! 😄
    2
  17268. i have been studying japanese for 2 years, although i suck a speaking i can read pretty well, but when i cant speak as i would like to it is really frustraring. i really enjoy your video and give me more energy lol. also thinking of study chinese but got to master first japanese T.T.
    2
  17269. These are not the droids you're looking for.....
    2
  17270. If I was already subscribed to you and Sam, does that mean I'm on the dark side? or just gray maybe? lol

  17271. she so cute

  17272. もし名古屋にあそびに来ることがあれば美味しいご飯ご馳走します！
    2
  17273. Can you try different language learning apps for Japanese and Chinese and tell us which one is the best? Then finish the video with Japanese pod.
    2
  17274. Watching him freak out about just how... over sized everything in the US is, is really entertaining. I think people forget just how much space we have in the US, and we aren't even using up all of it.
    2
  17275. Was wondering why no one was there and you explained it in the cable car
    2
  17276. Congrats on the new home and reaching 1 million 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Positive energy to Drew.

  17279. You are a total professional. The production quality of your videos has no limits. I see and feel your love of life and love for others. Thank you.
    2
  17280. I noticed when your on a roll, YOUR ON A ROLL LOL
    2
  17281. The guy has such cute eyes and the women has beutiful blue ones😍😍
    2
  17282. when I heard you saying it took 8 years to learn to talk chinese it scared the hell out of me. I thought you would say like 5/6 months
    2
  17283. Slowly been learning Japanese as I don't have a ton of time on my hands. I'm only a Senior in Highschool though so I got time. I already know maybe 70% of hiragana and I'm proud of myself.
    2
  17284. The real takeaway for non Americans is to see the regional parallels and differences of Michigander Upper Midwest Nice and laid back Hawaiian Aloha.
    2
  17285. Thanks for continuing to show Chinese people are readily open to conversation with strangers, have a sense of humour and generous (offer of face mask). Of course you too have these same qualities! :D
    2
  17286. Beginning had me a bit worried🤣 But, I knew these people were awesome!
    2
  17287. Misora Hibari had a really famous song named Kurumaya-san So when the kurumaya guy mentioned her I chuckled. lol
    2
  17288. The hard thing about all the packaging is that after you've got this mountain of trash, you have to then figure out how to sort it, ... The hardest thing for me was the Pringles can, which -- while it's less packaging, is itself composed of three different kinds of trash all in one, and I felt like I had to cut it up to throw it away. (1.) Plastic cap (which kind?), (2.) The metallic ends, (3.) The thick cardboard in the middle. I just stopped buying Pringles when I was staying in 川崎; too much to handle. I wish I could just buy bulk in 東京, but that didn't seem to be a thing.
    2
  17289. I like watching you videos. I always get demotivated studying nihongo but when I watch your videos I get my motivation back. 😂
    2
  17290. Been learning Spanish since I was 12 and currently just started getting back into French. If I had to put more languages in, I would get so overwhelmed. I’m definitely good with these two. I definitely don’t recommend anyone learning languages of the same family, I’m just more use to Spanish so it’s ok with me.
    2
  17291. What happened to your cat mask ? The sexiest cat in Japan LOL
    2
  17292. Literally just found your channel and I’m impressed with your Japanese and Chinese. I one day hope to be just as good as you are
    2
  17293. Beautiful couple.
    2
  17294. Interesting VLOG... I love the change and variety you provide...

  17297. omg the guy at the train station was so adorable

  17298. Im learning just enough to be polite And just to be freindly.I live around russian and spanish speakers. I speak some spanish at work and I speak alittle russian at home. I did not no there was a problem like this In the youtube comunity. Great video.
    2
  17299. It’s sad that people openly laugh ... the human race is pretty disgusting at times
    2
  17300. I am from Port Huron, Michigan. I have been watching your videos for about 6 months and I love them. When you said, "that's a whole nother skillset in and of itself" I said to myself.. She might have lost the Michigan accent, but she didn't lose the Michigan vernacular. I bet you still say fridge, meer, and ope :)
    2
  17301. Katie reminds me of Garnet from Steven Universe. She's absolutely gorgeous 😍😍
    2
  17302. I got an aunt who move to Asakusa 60 years ago, and their offspring are Japanese too ~ But I don't know them hahaha ~ When I took my mom to Tokyo, she mentioned when we are almost back, because she doesn't want to make her cousin feels in trouble or something so we didn't contact them in our trip... my mom is like very traditional person Although I'm from Taiwan But In fact, I went to have a gene test, and it shows that I have 5.6% of Japanese gene ~ I bet I have a lot of Unknown relatives live in Japan too

  17304. Ohh...He is sri lankan...nice ... it's my country also ☺️
    2
  17305. Very true it's takes commitment to master a new language and yes you are too cute.
    2
  17306. I was working off and on on Japanese, but I recently decided to work on learning Korean. Such a pain in my @$$ since I'm on the clock 8 hours a day with an hour lunch in between the 4 hours. Customer facing tech support is really draining 😢😢
    2
  17307. Jeez what's with all the hate? I've seen a few videos about people talking fake polyglot, only this video has so much hate comments towards the creator. It seems people are jumping to crazy conclusions.
    2
  17308. Hi Anming! You were very cool in this video! I’d like to be friend with you and teach you French 😂 Keep up this amazing work
    2
  17309. Wow I didn’t know such a school existed. I’m from Ny but I’ve never heard of it. So cute
    2
  17310. I am super impressed... you have an incredible talent! I gave you a sub, you earned it 😊 Be safe in your travels. You have a way of bringing out genuine smiles!
    2
  17311. That looks like fun, also mannerism and even accent adaptation is normal. I talk different when I am in my birth place NY than I do in the mid west or south. I pick up a bit of a twang, its unintentional, and I don't do it to make fun or tease.

  17316. R2 rocks! I love Star Wars!
    2
  17317. Oh wow! You know Mrs. Morita! That's funny. Your channels are the only 2 "Americans living abroad" channels that I follow. Another fun video, Anming! Thanks for taking me around town.
    2
  17318. Just finished to watch the Chinese drama, eternal love of dream and i saw your cute video...
    2
  17319. I already speak 4 languages (finnish, swedish, english, japanese) but watching these videos makes me want to learn chinese as well.
    2
  17320. Don't know which is cuter, the little kids jumping up and down, all excited to see R2, or the adults just as excited!
    2
  17321. I have been following your channel for few months now and really enjoying the contents. Those music in the background in the beginning and end really help the atmosphere of the video so I suggest you keep adding them even in the middle of the content (maybe with low volume). I can imagine you made video touring around Japan or China with beautiful cultural music as background. I agree this channel could help to fill the cultural gaps and misunderstanding between different countries and cultures. Keep up the good works and please be careful with your online cred.
    2
  17322. Workout NOT wasted! You work out so you can eat the candy 👍 that’s what I tell myself anyway....
    2
  17323. I just speak 3 foreign languages with varying degrees of fluency, but I love languages so I dabble with a lot of others that I wouldnt say I "speak" I just play with them. It makes me really uncomfortable when people try to label me as a polyglot.
    2

  17334. I'm here watching this and I'm smiling all allong!
    2
  17335. Is waseda a prestigious school? They all look so impressed when you mention that
    2
  17336. It’s crazy how close they build houses together but also make sure they all get equal and sufficient sunlight architectural genius it works in japan as everyone generally gets on and mind their own business wouldn’t work in Britain
    2
  17337. When the earthquake happened the people looked so calm and maybe they were really mature.Stay safe in Japan!
    2
  17338. You are so talented! I am not good at chinese and japanese like you even though I am korean (and although I studied them!), but I think you are already good at korean without studying it because korean consists of more than 60% of chinese words while grammer structure is same as japanese. You will need only small amount of efforts to be intermediate in korean as long as you are familiar with korean pronunciation.
    2
  17339. Learning a language requires a form of obsession. What did you sacrifice to achieve fluency? Did you give up soccer, parties with friends, vacations etc... Curious to know? I've been learning Chinese for a while. My school tried to make it fun but failed. We had a Friday Mandarin corner for all students to attend. It was an informal get together to practice and exchange with a teacher present. I went very week. But others couldn't hold a conversation and attendance dwindled.
    2
  17340. Are you going back to China? can an American go back to China ? Your can become an Actress in Japan and do really well.. !!!

  17342. It's quite amusing to see an American girl speaking Chinese in Japan
    2
  17343. Your friend looks like an amazing, intelligent and beatiful person! Thanks for bringing her to your channel!
    2
  17344. Is not easy marrying into Asian culture. I am Asian, I know. LOL But, kudos to Jessica, u do learn different things n appreciate it for what it is.
    2
  17345. I'm really happy for you! You've been recognized! I've seen your subscribers steadily increase and your content has always been interesting. I've never been to Japan but plan to one day. China is next on my list though since I'm learning Mandarin. Please keep pumping out more content, I always look forward to watching your videos.
    2
  17346. The guy walking out from the end killed me xD
    2
  17347. Love the videos! I studied abroad in Kyoto about 10 years ago. Miss it so much! Just started studying Chinese too. Mostly because I can't stop watching Chinese television dramas 😅!
    2
  17348. Your videos are so cool. Every time I watch them I want to go visit Japan!!!
    2
  17349. Many of elderies in Japan tend to be afraid of meet & talk with a new person they don't meet often. But they can change their negative mind when they realize the new person can do nice conversation in Japanese and sometimes more positive than younger generation because it must be very rare than young generation to talk with a western in good Japanese. Good Job! Oriental Pearl san!!
    2
  17350. It's really interesting to watch how they really get a kick out of seeing someone from another part of the world taking such a keen interest in their culture / language. I'm sure it's very unusual for them to run into a white, western person so immersed in their culture / language. Both parties are flattered I think. Fun to see.
    2
  17351. You are amazing and inspirational girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
    2
  17352. That Japan moments where you'll see it's raining on the other side of the street.
    2
  17353. You know what I love about your channel the content its just so good and friendly and fun you learn alot I'm currently studying to learn Chinese it's hard but I want to visit one day and I believe if you go abroad learn the language. But what I enjoy about your content is no long boring into and a bit of talking before you get to the content you just get right to it the reason we are all here keep up the good work and stay safe

  17356. I don’t usually subscribe too any YouTubers,you deserve it for respecting other languages I’m trying to learn Vietnamese at this time for my girlfriend and for respect for her,she has learned English so quickly. She’s a smart girl ,she knows German and Chinese as well. You have inspired me to push on and get better. And my girlfriend

  17357. I love Shibas so much. Any time one shows any interest in me I feel especially honored😂

  17358. as a former resident i noticed that their head turns when your japanese have gaijin accents in it. i love rural japan. kinda like ii kanji

  17359. Congratulations on your masters. Awesome video.😀
    2
  17360. Awesome interview! whoa .. so many languages in one! hehe
    2
  17361. 素晴らしいですね！ 日本人がシャイと言われるのはシンプルに英語が話せないのが大きいと思います。 あとはご存知かも知れませんが謙虚を美徳としているので、日本人同士でも他人にむやみに話しかける事が少ないです。 原宿は確かに自己主張できる場所なので外国人の皆さんは過ごしやすいかもしれませんね。 これからも動画楽しみにしています！

  17364. Thank You, Anming 🎈. Your videos really give Me a wonderful impression of the country. ❤️
    2
  17365. Happy go lucky making friends language lady
    2
  17366. Thank you sooooo much for this video. I signed up w/ Pimsleur (because of you) and have been studying every day for about 6 weeks. It's super hard (for me). But, I really am motivated. This video will definitely help me keep my motivation. Because...you are spot on when you said I would start feeling like "What's wrong with me?". I don't mind putting in the work. I want to have realistic expectations. I really needed this. Thank you again.
    2
  17367. I just had a discussion about this with my partner who is Japanese. My feeling from living in Japan was that Nanpa is pretty common, but she thinks its actually to the point where it's just a normal part of life in Japan. Nanpa is everywhere. So that makes some of the comments interesting, because people are saying that where they come from such guys would be called sexual predators. I admit the footage of the dude and his twitch I do find cringeworthy, but at the same time, if we were watching a Japanese guy doing it, and it's part of their culture, is it right for us to deride it? I often find myself caught in this mental debate, having lived both in China and Japan, about whether its right to apply Western norms to their norms.
    2
  17368. Katie should definitely start her own YT Channel!!! :)
    2
  17369. Hey, I really liked this. You got the side of Sam many people don't see. Hahaha! :)
    2
  17370. I think just making an effort to speak Japanese is really appreciated, more than the actual output. From my personal experience, the best reaction I've gotten is, "あ、勉強しました。" . Personally, I would just take the compliments at face value, and try not to read too much into it. I also would not expect Japanese to give feedback readily, and that we have to consciously listen to and hear ourselves into "comfort" with the language.
    2
  17371. Your eyes are very beautiful... deep blue eyes. I hope you’re not wearing contact lenses🤪
    2
  17372. To be honest, black and Japanese combo DNA is one of the most beautiful mixes I have seen. It just works at a near 100% level.
    2
  17373. 13:20 it looks like it’s Mochi, 😂 even though I might be wrong. Regardless it looks very delicious 😋 👍
    2
  17374. Enjoyable and good editing
    2
  17375. Thrift stores are the best by the way, you never know what you're going to find. Or even what you're looking for some times, but you know it when you see it.
    2
  17376. I get the same thing in EU as a Asian speaking Dutch , French and English. Even though i'm a local. xD
    2
  17377. I love all ur videos and I love you toooo!!💖💖🥺
    2
  17378. great work :) love japan. love'd to learn the language but got little time due to make time at work be very extensive. can you advise me what is the best way or easy going way to learn it ? thanks ( great channel again) :)

  17380. I enjoyed this. Random encounters can lead to friendship or aquantanceship. Stay healthy and safe! 😷👍
    2
  17381. Este video me emocionó mucho. En estos meses estuve pensando en postular a una beca en China, pero me da miedo el que aún no tengo un nivel alto de inglés y, mucho menos de Chino. Por cierto, con mis comentarios repasas tu español ^^
    2
  17382. fascinating as usual, i always notice after i finish one of your videos i have this huge stupid grin lingering haha, thankyou for sharing these videos, it's really helping my insight into understanding other languages :D
    2
  17383. heeeee you are so beautiful 💚😍
    2
  17384. Love this vid ❤
    2
  17385. Also, very nice editing skills. Your channel is so awesome. I admire your independence and intelligence. #Risingstar
    2
  17386. Congrats on reaching 1 million subs! I'll be in Tokyo from june this year, excited to start my study abroad program, hopefully I'll get as good as you <3
    2
  17387. It's because Westerners stand out. Chinese and Koreans can blend in with the population. Even in some of your videos, I wouldn't have been able to tell the people you were speaking with were Chinese but if I saw a White or Black person, I would know they were foreigners. Nice myth busting.
    2
  17388. your reaction vids never get old. Their responses are so cute. You keep making them and i'll keep watching and 👍

  17389. Hi from Farmington New Mexico 👍❣️😊

  17391. First comment tho I have been watching for a long time now. Congratulations. I just celebrated my first year anniversary with my partner I met on HelloTalk too. ☺️
    2
  17392. I moved to Japan quite a while ago not gonna lie I like it half half I miss my home but exploring a new place is always incredible would I move back no I always shock people speaking fluent japanese because I had such a passion and you also taught me a lot so for that thank you ❤
    2
  17393. THE WOMAN IN THE KIMONO WAS SO PRETTY
    2
  17394. Wow, I only discovered your channel a couple of months back, but watching this episode listening to you speak Chinese (Mandarin), really surprised me. I must ask, how many languages can you speak fluently? Also, how long have you been in Japan for? Its cool that you're there now, during this time. Please, keep the content coming, you're awesome showing everyone around parts of Japan (even I haven't been to, yet). :) Keep having fun!!!
    2
  17395. Wonderful video. Respect!✌
    2
  17396. Because you're special...

  17399. I watch all your videos till the end ;-). Hope some more people can subscribe to your channel as it helps you out a lot.
    2
  17400. Love your Chanel
    2
  17401. I already know who you both are but really appreciate the introduction you both gave. I feel I've learned more about you both. I love how your both switching languages so smoothly. I hope you do videos when you get back home to China and show us the beauty of that country too.
    2
  17402. You made that yourself. Bravo!
    2
  17403. Your videos are truly amazing. It’s so intriguing that just you talking and interacting with others is so entertaining. Keep up the great videos. I hope to one day be fluent in either Japanese or Chinese.
    2
  17404. Shattering stereotypes is part of the reason I love taking these little trips with you. They see a white blond girl and assume "tourist." Not just that, plenty of people use that shock value approach. I can't put my finger on it. It will come to me eventually.
    2
  17405. i just started watching your videos not too long ago, & i already wanted to learn japanese, but hearing how you said you were very antisocial/didn’t speak to many people but then became very social once being in japan has really encouraged me to want to become fluent in japanese ! i have really bad social anxiety & i’ve been trying to fix it & i feel that learning a new language & communicating more, even if it’s in another language, will definitely help ! i took an ASL class & really got comfortable with communicating with the deaf community, but i have more of a passion to learn japanese. i enjoy watching you start conversations with others & i hope one day i can have the confidence to do the same 💜💜💜 have an amazing rest of your day or night, & happy new year !!! 🎉✨
    2
  17406. I really want one of those sodas but not the fermented soy bean aka natto its the texture that is off putting
    2
  17407. Your hair is really beautiful She - "that's because it wool" 🤣🤣🤣 If that was me I would probably end the conversation there
    2
  17408. Hi Anming, you are absolutely amazind human! My heart breaks reading and hearing all those horrible comments😣. Ignore them and keep going. You inspire us, educate us, entertain us - thank you for your hard work. Sending love 💜

  17409. what the…我是福建人😭
    2
  17410. Great memories they will have.
    2
  17411. Wow, the level of fluency in both Japanese and Chinese is just amazing!
    2
  17412. Sure you have an accent - an american accent.
    2
  17413. I speak Filipino, English,Spanish, Ilokano, and Ifugao fluently, I understand and barely speak Korean. Bisaya, and Chinese(Cantonese/Mandarin) some of my friends are chinese and bisaya so yeah... sometime in my college years i went to Korean language school, i learned Hangul(korean alphabet) i can read and write but my accents is not very good.
    2
  17414. A great video. You guys had me laughing, even through the sad facts. Well done!
    2
  17415. 407 dislike r ppl who don’t speak Japanese
    2
  17416. I don't why but I found this so funny. Id be so overwhelmed if that was me. You handled it really well <3
    2
  17417. It's shocking for japanese standards, but honestly looking at it as someone from a third world country, that's nothing compared to the poverty we have right here. *not trying to challenge the video or anything, just bringing a perspective on how the perspective of poverty changes based on where you come from.
    2
  17418. The most beautiful and fit body I've ever seen...you are the best
    2
  17419. This is the total opposite of the school I went to in Tokyo, we had many western students, got close to the teacher (going to izakaya and karaoke) not that many students or class and yeah all this stuff is just the opposite of the school I went to in Tokyo, guees I was lucky 🍀
    2
  17420. You're like Xiaomanyc but with Japanese! :D I really love your videos and I don't usually stick to any particular Japan related channels except ones for learning Japanese, such as Japanese From Zero and Japanese Ammo With Misa, as well as Abroad in Japan, who is a British J-vlogger. However, I'm addicted to your videos and really like watching them, so please keep it up! :) You deserve 13 million subscribers rather than 13 thousand too.
    2
  17421. 5:34 kawaii <3
    2
  17422. Just discovered your channel and I moved to Chicago 6 years ago. Cool to see this video! Also, I lived in Germany for 8 years when i was younger and while obviously not the same as living in Asia, there's a universal "I'm from somewhere else and people get delighted when they meet a foreigner" kind of experience. especially because I'm sort of like you where I'm American, but in Germany, of I'm of Asian descent. So people would be SHOCKED that an Asian kid is actually American, but can speak German. haha. Definitely subscribed to your channel!
    2
  17423. That guy that ran off to the convenience store was amazing. People like that are why I love Japan.
    2
  17424. Every video of yours is a surprise and a treat !
    2
  17425. I'm sorry your family couldn't be there, but congratulations! Catholic weddings in Japan must be pretty rare

  17428. She plays the guitar better than me. 🥺

  17429. I've been watching your videos for a while now but this is the first time I commented here. I Just wanna say keep doing the good work. You're going the right direction!
    2
  17430. There is a secret american sauce that goes with everything. Ketchup with natto!
    2
  17431. Y’all look amazing. Very happy together. That church! Congrats to you two! Do y’all have a gift registry?
    2
  17432. Just got a new follower I love this ❤️
    2
  17433. I think, people that learned a foreign language properly will achieve also the proper body language and facial mimics. They become another person somehow when they switch language.
    2
  17434. The title : why is Japan good Me: duh bc it cool amazing sound cute 😊
    2
  17435. Very well produced video. I love it.
    2
  17436. Best wishes to you and your band, it's always nice to see someone doing what they love.

  17437. she is incredibly pretty

  17438. I never clicked on a video so fast. 😂

  17439. You are amazing at making people around you as passionate as you are.

  17440. Love these shop videos from the other sides of the world! 🧡
    2
  17441. Yes! Great content, you're japanese is great! continue posting videos with locals! I never knew how friendly strangers can be in japan how nice :)
    2
  17442. This is the first time I've seen you and your videos. I plan on watching more. I'm from San Diego, Ca.
    2
  17443. Thank you for revealing this. It helps me let go of my illusion that Japan is a flawless, ideal society like the ones we often see in anime.
    2
  17444. I'm prefer Philipine, more exciting and more extremely outdoor game. But I'm more suggest another good place for Philipine is Boracay , white sand beach along 5km long if not mistaken, I forgot so sorry. But there is the best place I had been since few years ago. But I also like your Japan,that sunset view, that's good for proposal to someone you love I guess. Actually this world have lot of beauty places included what you have showed in your video. Hope can see more another place in your youtube channel, cheers..Have a great day
    2
  17445. You have such a simple idea that works really well. Just gentle fun and no one's feelings ever get hurt. A little insight into other cultures is interesting. Have you ever said on your channel what you plan to do with your language skills, once you have your degree?
    2
  17446. The challenges of learning a language are great. He seemed like a good sport though. Best of luck!
    2
  17447. I live in the US and my family doesn't use dryers hahaha you also get a very clean smell most of the time because it takes away harsh scents of the detergent i think
    2
  17448. This is actually very wholesome and cute lol
    2
  17449. What a wholesome video! Was lots of fun to see 😃
    2
  17450. No more fake happy tours 🤣🤣🤣. You’re trying to shock Tommy 😄. Hey that does look like lawn art 👍. I hear more about New York than I do about Michigan. I’ll look up Michigan right now on YouTube to check out the changes you mentioned that are happening there.
    2
  17451. There's food stuck on your lip... LOL..!!! 😂😂😂
    2
  17452. I love the open nature of Japanese once you start speaking just a few words of Japanese and show your vulnerability. Such a great country to visit as a tourist. I took a couple of courses of Japanese before I went there and I loved every single interaction with the people there. Great to see the same in this video.
    2
  17453. Lovely! Enjoyed this so much.
    2
  17454. haters will be haters bc they cant do it
    2
  17455. Que alegría ver tus videos de nuevo 🤩
    2
  17456. Another SUPERB video. Loved it!!!
    2
  17457. your koreans alot smoother in this one than older videos^^ (specifically thinking of the valentines clip handing out candy) its fun getting to watch you progress in a language❤ cause you were already so good at japanese and chinese haha your pronunciation was always great though, it just flows smoother now and its fun to see the difference^^❤ im also proud of myself for the amount of japanese i understood without captions 😱 still not much, but way more than before lol
    2
  17458. Quality content right here.
    2
  17459. Are you with the olympics lmao, did he mean are you an athlete? Kind of odd way to tell someone that they're fit but it's cute 😅
    2
  17460. A man following his passion in life. More of a hobby then a job. I understand - I am a retired firefighter / EMT. Helping my fellow mankind was my passion. I hated to retire but after 31 years of injuries from the job etc. it was time. Still miss it every day - but now am the care giver for my wife. Thank you for the video - I know nothing of the subject but can feel his compassion to his 'hobby'. Take care be safe.
    2
  17461. This is a story of an American met China northeastern “Laoxiang “ in Japan. Great story...
    2
  17462. @Oriental Pearl Please tell Rody that even for some native speakers that some words like “statistics” are difficult to pronounce. That’s why we have the shortened form of the word: “stats”.
    2
  17463. You are an amazing woman, and your love for Tommy shines through! Everyone thinks you are Russian, what is your ethnic background? Your videos are so cute and cheerfull, thank you for posting! 🥰🥰🥰
    2
  17464. U CAN SEE PEOPLE LIKE KOREAN AND JAPANESE IN NORTH EAST INDIA AND WE ALSO ARE GOOD IN ENGLISH I EVEN HAVE A PHD AT ENGLISH IF U EVER VISIT NORTH EAST INDIA IT WILL BE GREAT EXPERIENCE
    2
  17465. WOW,your AMAZING!!!!!!😅😅😅😅

  17467. Pearl is particularly beautiful in this video. Happiness does that to a person.
    2
  17468. I love the conversations. Keep going ❤️
    2
  17469. Nomad you've got skills, your level of English is amazing better than some of the native speakers here in the UK, hope you find work soon, you got talent.
    2
  17470. Oriental Pearl blowing people’s minds left & right 🤣.
    2
  17471. As always kudos for another great video, this one was fun in its random street encounters. Your editing skills are getting notably more polished every week! Suggestion: put a few words in the description of where you go if it looks notable.. where was your pretty temple visit with Kelley, for example? That had a tiny flavor of Kyoto's Fushimi Inari-taisha.
    2
  17472. U deserve more subs!
    2
  17473. Perhaps the spies thought you're a spy too so they follow you to gain super bilingual powers
    2
  17474. It's really cool, that you seem genuinely open minded about those around you.
    2
  17475. thank you for sharing your journey so far! i followed your journey in parts and really appricate what you have shared. We are all suffering and in this together, thoughts are with you and your family. This will pass and things will move along quickly! keep your spirits high! Your vids brighten my day! take care! and yes spring brings new life and hope to us all!
    2
  17476. Ahhh you're killing me with that ending! Can't wait to see part two. 😁
    2
  17477. Thanks for taking the time to explain it's not all fun and games traveling to another country. My trip to Mexico in 1992, the officer that greeted us on the bus from the airport told us to hang onto our passports. If we lose them, we could become a permanent resident of Mexico. (probably in jail) Bomblasted everywhere by Los Tiburones de las calles (street sharks) trying to sell us everything, all the time, but the weather was great. I live in southern New Mexico now, 80 miles north of Mexico. Traveling there is no longer advisable, and shouldn't be considered. The gangs have taken over the country unfortunately. It's not safe to travel there. I feel real sorry for all the poor souls that have to live there, and everyday is challenge just to survive.

  17478. That hat she was wearing from is Nepal it’s our traditional hat
    2
  17479. You are a breath of fresh air online. Full disclosure though, when I saw the post about the homemade R2D2, I immediately thought, "Man, I hope she has the embassy on speed dial."
    2
  17480. OMG all the Japanese blossoms. <3 also, is this normally how they clan in Japan or is this the "corona virus" way to clean?

    2
  17483. People might follow you because you look different. I remember going to Japan a while ago and I got stared at and followed and when I confronted some people about it it’s was more often than not my really pale skin, freckles, or extremely naturally curly hair that made them interested.
    2

  17491. YOUR SO AMAZING IM BLOWN AWAY!! I CANT! honestly this inspired me so much I wish I could learn other languages and speak them. and this also inspires me to learn more of my own language and work on it. Thank you so much!

  17492. Dogs and people domesticated each other. It was interesting to see the young kids trying out their English with you, too.
    2
  17493. Any more videos coming using material from your trip to Korea?? I took a 3 week study vacation to Seoul last fall for the same reason. But I went to a regular language school and it wasn’t so intense. But going to Korea totally motivated me. For a while. I need to go back again. Just what the heck did you do there? Go rent a room from someone who teaches korean to foreigners and live with her and study with her for a month? How much is that?? Knowing how to study a foreign language and what to expect is really a small part of learning a foreign language. The big part is having room in your life for that language. I studied lots of German in my 20’s but haven’t looked at it in ages - I just don’t make any time for it. I’m too busy with English, Japanese, and now Korean. I guess I lost interest in Europe and fell in love with Asia.

  17494. I wish i could be a student like you or work in japan just like u😭 Im struggeling cuz idk how it works😭😭😭😘😘😘 hope one day a person like u could help me with it !! U are a nice person!! Greetings from the netherlands!

  17496. I’m impressed. Literally no accent. If you have intentions of staying on in Asia after you graduate, our company would gladly hire you on in business development and/or sourcing management. Let me know. I’m even open to have an open job offer for you.
    2
  17497. Thank you so much! I have wanted to know about the sad side of Japanese society.
    2
  17498. I think in America we're more oblivious to these type of things. like America is very diverse nowadays so if we see a foreigner speaking English then we're not really gonna pay it any mind. the only times we'll take notice is if the English speaker is struggling or we hear a heavy accent then we're like "oh, what country you're from?"

  17513. That bamboo shoot was so neat! Noodle delivery done right :P Thank you for teaching us about the power of Tsunami's, this really helps to put things into perspective.
    2
  17514. I find it interesting how it's always westerners hating on other westerners for taking interest in another culture. The people who actually live there aren't even offended by foreigners who take a genuine interest in being a part of their culture (I'm sure there are outliers, but for the most part they don't) , so what's the problem? The gatekeeping is so weird. People are so bored with their lives
    2
  17515. Hi sunshine very informative and there reaction still get me I don't know why I am not surprised when someone from Japan comes to the States and speak English I don't really give it a second thought.🌷😊🇺🇸🎼🙏

  17516. It depends on what part of the animal the food is from and it's name, tofu brains it was just the translated name, if it was actually brains I would never eat brains, although people do eat brains, it sounds disgusting, pig's ear I would never eat pig's ear that sounds disgusting although I do eat Baken Ets fried crunchy pork skins, it's a snack like potato chips, it's funny what people will and will not eat, I would think eating a snack of fried pork skins would be disgusting to me but it's not, and veal I don't eat veal because it's a baby but I'll eat it's parents, so weird and funny, maybe we should all be vegetarians then nothing to gross us out

  17517. Light and fun ! 🖖

  17519. Hello pearl, it is true that in Japan it is frowned upon that women walk very low-cut, but not that they walk in short skirts 🤔 ,god bless you

  17520. So many good points in this video

  17521. There's a guy named Matt he has a YouTube channel called Matt vs Japan, he goes on vrchat and people don't believe him that his from the US. Hello 👋 from Asunción-Paraguay Forgot to tell you that he speaks Japanese on vrchat.

  17524. It is fun to get along with the locals and speak their language.

  17528. I think some reactions also depend on personality. For example, I'm a shy person, so while I might be shocked in the inside, I'll act normal on the outside and to the person who shocked me
    2
  17529. Mom is a blast! 😀
    2
  17530. I saw one of your videos a while ago, but this is the one where I was compelled to subscribe. Someone mentioned below, those compliments are genuine, and you should be gratified. 4 times harder and longer to learn than Spanish, you said it yourself.
    2
  17531. 3:44 you can still hear a distant "すごい上手い" lol
    2
  17532. Ty from france :)
    2
  17533. Wow, this is so impressive! It was my first time seeing you and I’ve just subscribed to your channel. I’m an American teacher and had no idea how impressive Chinese universities could be, or that they offer scholarships to foreign students!
    2
  17534. As long time subscriber I always watch you until the end of your vlogs !!

  17535. Hi, i’m tea drinker. Maybe you could do a video on Chinese and Japanese tea culture. I’m a big fan of Chinese teas!!!

  17538. Wow!! So beautiful!!

  17539. I am actually learning Japanese, and I have been attending private classes for the past two months or so. Most of the children in India grow up speaking in three languages (ie. English, Hindi and their mother tongue) so we learn other languages with a certain kind of ease. The same applies to me as well, but I get really anxious when it comes to the 'speaking' part of it. I chicken out, or at least try to when my Sensei asks me to speak. So what oriental pearl is doing, is really fantastic!!!!! I really look forward to being able to speak like her.

  17540. Tommy is so adorable. I am so jealous. Such a cute couple

    2
  17551. I speak Bahasa Indonesia, English, and Japanese, But reading and Writing on the other hand are near impossible for me (I have dyslexia). So learning languages for me either by youtube or having a conversation with the native speaker.
    2
  17552. This was eye-opening! Thank you for your insight. I have to agree with you on your point about viewing other videos. It's hard to find that right YouTuber that isn't full of themselves or arrogant. On the contrary, you're so down to Earth!
    2
  17553. Bring her to America! I will show her around.
    2
  17554. I love all you videos that you do. These kind specifically that you do, showing the city and the culture, are great. Your videos are informative and educational. Would you consider yourself a journalist?

    2
  17562. 你好， 我是一个懂中文的越南人，刚刚知道你的channel, 觉得你的channel 对我来说很有用的。因为能学到你的英文。希望你多多讲点英文哈哈。谢谢你。
    2
  17563. 3:00 that cracked me up so hard XD reminds me of myself when I once asked my roomie what time it was as I just woke up. He then just replied with a confused "what?" I repeated and he gave me the same answer and it went like that for almost a minute and I was already wondering what the hell his problem was. Then my brain finally started to work and I then realized that I was unknowingly speaking Chinese with him, which he obviously did not speak XD epic fail
    2
  17564. This was awesome.

  17565. Loved this video!

  17570. I love how you gave a bit of context on how you started the conversation in some cases, kinda fun knowing those details haha
    2
  17571. Jealousy is another reason. All those reasons to hate polygots is based on their jealousy.
    2
  17572. This was interesting

  17573. "I don't know what is inside but it is good" Jajajajaja!
    2
  17574. Great video. Beautiful apt, thx for the tour. Great memories of the old apt.
    2
  17575. I have watched all of your videos from the beginning. You have replied to a few of my comments in the past. Some very positive, some not so much. Your husband seems like a good person, BUT Japan is not for you. They are not as personable as the Chinese, Americans, Koreans, etc. Japan does not fit you at all. You should have gone back to China. Bring your husband to China, but ultimately America. My Uncle was engaged to a Japanese woman, so I know everything about the culture. Get out! You both will be happier in China and America. I'm a father of daughters and grandfather of granddaughters, believe me go somewhere else. I pray it works out for you, because you deserve to be happy.

  17577. 你的中文说的真的很好，已经非常接近中国人了～
    2
  17578. I think they are just showing their admiration that you've taken the time and effort to learn their language,they've probably come across thousands of white people in their lifetime and you might be the only one that's spoken their language fluently.
    2
  17579. 3:20 He said hello in dutch way, "Hallo"

  17580. among all polyglot utubers, you have the best pronounciation and accent, glad to see your new video uploaded
    2
  17581. There are different reasons for fat shaming if it's for looks. that's bad. Most times it's for health reasons because we don't want you to have a heart attack or other overweight medical issues.
    2
  17582. I was so excited to see your new vlog. Great as always😊
    2
  17583. I like you because you are respectful towards every culture equally. There is no bias. Your Chinese is so authentic, I love to watch you speak them. Chinese and Japanese is not an easy language to learn. Pronunciations are hard. But, you speak so well. It's a skill to be proud of. In addition to that, language is also culture! When you show an interest in their language, you are showing interest towards their culture. Many countries have to learn English, but not the other way around. So being able to communicate with the natives in their language is a blessing. It makes natives happy because people are also putting effort to speak in their language and culture! Its a very considerate and most kindest factor. Like there is an appreciation on a communication level. To be honest, I think you are also so fun and kind. The kind of friend I want.

  17586. Tommy took things in better stride than my Japanese cousin did when he visited me in South Carolina. I took him fishing. He was having a good time till a big catfish he hooked and landed bit him. Tommy had a comfy boat ride compared to my cousin who rode in my narrow "Jon boat" up front into choppy waves. My cousin loved the fried taters at the gas station and malt liquor drink too.

  17587. I love that my cheeks hurt from smiling watching such lovely interactions.... Please keep it coming Anming. Domo

  17588. Dankeschön!
    2
  17589. I don't speak almost any Chinese but I've been to China 3 times now because my girlfriend is from there so we visit from time to time. The vibe I always used to get was that people were often intrigued when seeing foreigners. I never got the vibe that anyone was negative or speaking ill of me and this was always confirmed by my girlfriend. Mostly people were just curious where I was from or if they could take a random photo together etc. Once I had a 70+ year old grandpa speaking Russian to me which I partially understand so I got a giggle out of it. Generally I feel like people there are far friendlier than a lot of people in the west think.

  17590. Thank you Oriental Pearl! Sharing seems not to be a hard thing to do for you. I am now trying chineseclass101.com. Much Love, Yves

  17592. I love the little twist youve put on this adventure on everyday strolling in Japan, and wow its a great bonus that a lot of peeps love it! 6.5m views under a week is big game! Im rooting for 40 million peak views!!! 😍
    2
  17593. Girl I adore you! I love this, and how people react to see the dogs and to see you. How kids talk to you and try speaking English. My husband is sri lanka 🇱🇰 and whenever we go out to public and children see us they always run up to us. And try talking English its just so cute. We love it and of course we love children. ( no kids yet)
    2
  17594. Honestly, I am confused now, what do we mean by "being a polyglot"? I've been learning Japanese for 4 years, and honestly, I still can not speak perfect Japanese nor talk about difficult subjects, but does that make me less of a "polyglot"? Do you have to speak perfectly without any mistakes and be able to talk about everything in order to consider that you can speak that language? I can totally handle any normal everyday life conversation, so... am I not a polyglot? Same question for my mother tongues. I have three of them: French (from my mom), and Spanish and Catalan (from my dad). I read a comment saying that when considering yourself "a polyglot" you should exclude your mother tongues... But that does not make sense to me: I can speak three languages, isn't that the whole point of "being a polyglot"?? Omg I'm confused now

  17600. Utah is so beautiful. I'm assuming that was Angel's Landing @Zion. Keep it coming you lovely couple.🤙
    2
  17601. Hey, you managed to teach the audience how to say "dog" and "cat" in Japanese. So your channel is still educational!
    2
  17602. The similar thing that you and the two YouTubers you mentioned in your comments did is speaking Asian languages as Americans, but the HUGE difference between you guys is that they are shooting videos in their own country, in their own culture, where the local people (immigrants) have already acculturated or even assimilated so they usually don’t have high expectations for these YouTubers and tend to have exaggerated reactions, which lots of people loved to watch, I believe, due to the effect of enhancing their “cultural confidence.” However, you as a 异乡者 in this completely foreign language and cultural environment insisted to do such an unique and extremely difficult cultural introduction and communication e.g. 5 weird things in CN, JP to English speakers around the world to explain and solve their confusions or even sometimes prejudices towards Asian people. Me myself as a prospective international undergraduate student literally have to explain a lot of stuffs to my Chinese family and American teachers due to the misunderstanding between different cultures, societies, and ideologies as well. At the same time, I also have to face and accept the various conflicts that brought us tons of pressures, hurts, discriminations, and even insults, so I can totally understand your frustration. All I can say is that the YouTube is a platform that aimed to appealing to pathos for the majority of the audience who may not have a really profound educational background, intercultural understanding, and critical thinking skills. There is nothing we can do about it. Just be yourself and not losing faith. Lastly, hope that all human beings can put aside their prejudices and unite to fight against this freaking pandemic and return to normal life ASAP. Wish you, your family, and your friends all around the world take good care of themselves during this tough period and stay healthy!

  17603. i think they mean it cause your a foreigner kearning they language and don't expect you to get it right?

  17607. I always feel insulted when a fake polyglot claims to know German. The self deceit of these people is unreal.
    2
  17608. This was an interesting video Anming! Hope to see more of this content delving into the cultural quirks of these countries!

  17609. Your next language to speak is Russian because you locked like hhh

  17610. Oh I love her ,😍😍😍 hope she does more YouTube

  17611. I've been waiting for this video! And I also just noticed that you added the Join button (when???), so now I'm an even more loyal fan. 😄
    2
  17612. Yes that is for all languages unless u are a native of the language
    2
  17613. Parents embarrassing their children seems a very international practice 🤣🤣
    2
  17614. I enjoy your videos so much, you encourage me to travel abroad (when this whole situation allows us). Please keep doing vlogs, they are genuinely good.
    2
  17615. You are such a smooth talker !!! (I mean it in the best way possible) ♡♡♡

  17618. Sup gorgeous! What u been up to? I can't wait to see you speaking korean ㅎ 화이팅!
    2
  17619. It’s wild to see the little mannerisms that these people picked up in their native Japan.
    2
  17620. can you make a video how foreigners can get a job in China other than teaching English, particularly in the Finance & Accounting industries? Thanks
    2
  17621. Honestly though, Japanese is much harder than Chinese. Because of how Japanese kanji has multiple readings that vary from word to word. I don't think so Chinese characters have multiple readings, or maybe I am wrong.
    2
  17622. Thanks for the interesting and insightful conversation!
    2
  17623. i'm prob one of the biggest weebs out there but i love japan cus of anime. Anime taught me to love japan more and more, so im more than willing to learn it and learn about their culture. i already know a few by just watching anime in English subs :P

  17624. 1:03 Anming: I came here to eat Chinese... Old ladies: Ok bye! Anming: ...Food

  17625. Oh. I hoped my peace offer to the Yakuza would have been yielded to ... I guess I have to become the Asian Paris. 🤔🤔
    2
  17626. Catching up on your past vids and I feel your emotions when you got the news you could stay in Japan. Bless you🙏.. it must have been hard... I had a friend living in Japan back around 2010/2014, as you can imagine she when though a lot too... very emotional, but your strong and it's nice to see where you are now... keep being real... not that forced stuff. 🙏
    2
  17627. You deserve a round of applause purely for your ability to endure learning difficult languages to a very high level. You've nailed how to learn languages in my opinion, well done! 3 years of intensive daily Mandarin classes and then HSK6+. Were you able to achieve the same level with Japanese in a similar timespan and was your approach very much the same as with Mandarin?
    2
  17628. This put such a large smile on my face, I held it on for the entire video and now it hurts. x)
    2
  17629. With this, I should get motivated to play the guitar.

    2
  17631. I think Steve Kaufman and Lindie Botes are legit polyglots
    2
  17632. I can totally relate to Jessica and her kids. Growing up half Japanese and living in both the States and Japan I got teased a lot, even by my Japanese cousin! However, It doesn't bother me anymore. Hopefully, her kids grow to be strong-minded individuals!
    2
  17633. Finally a video that adresses a burning issue! Maybe a german video next
    2
  17634. Natto has a really good flavor if you have some good stuff. It’s - “fermenty”? But not unlike cheese. I love the stuff, but I like it with rice and mustard. Just eating it by itself is sticky-stringy - and a danger to anyone (like you) if you have long hair in front of your face. You have to be with your family or friends to eat it because it’s not the prettiest to eat. The texture might be different, but in the U.S. we have some foods that have pretty strange textures too (ambrosia salad). 😁
    2
  17635. Thx. It's really relaxing seeing your video after news about the chaos back in the states.
    2
  17636. Eating ice cream and talking about beards... yeah, looked pretty cool hahaha! Nice video Anming ✌🏻

  17638. 9:20 Hell0:) I'm curious what your, "dark, depressing room" (just kidding) costs you per month?
    2
  17639. 3:05 damn, no wonder his Japanese sounds supernatural, just as a native tongue...
    2
  17640. Quite a change of tone for you, very good.
    2
  17641. Me sorprende lo limpio y ordenado que está todo, que bonito se ve. Gracias por este nuevo video 👍
    2
  17642. I remember being nervous meeting my future inlaws. There was some resistance at first before they met me, but I can say studying Japanese and being respectful goes a long way. I'm Catholic too, a revert after 20 years of being away, and her family is cool with that.
    2
  17643. Annie Leonhart is real
    2
  17644. I'd love to see you and Júlio (Gengotaku channel) having a good conversation, but unfortunately you're kinda far from Osaka.
    2
  17645. You are building bridges, be proud!
    2
  17646. Yet another thing that is similar in Finland and Japan. We also say you are speaking Finnish well, when we notice that someone has studied Finnish so much that they can have some kind of conversation. When they speak good Finnish we don't mention it any more. The complement is mostly becouse, it's nice that someone is studying our language. If think it's the same with Japanese.
    2
  17647. Can you explain what those two shrines were towards the beginning you panned? Edit: houses in San Francisco beg to differ! Haha
    2
  17648. 15 million views in 9 days is insane! I see your videos semi-frequently in my recommended and I enjoy them so I’ll subscribe now lol
    2
  17649. 日本語がとてもうまいです！
    2
  17650. There are so many cute Japanese men
    2
  17651. This young woman is already pretty. But her level of intelligence and attention to detail makes her that much more attractive.
    2
  17652. 横浜中華街! 良い場所ですよね!
    2
  17653. Thank you Anming! I was slacking and I needed this reminder 💕
    2
  17654.  @OrientalPearl  Wow. Very interesting. Somewhat rare in the U.S., I think? Growing up in atheist home? Usually it's the other way around. hehe! :) I've posted some of my own experiences with Jesus (in Spirit), and some biblical viewpoints I hold on my YT forum, here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOqOr-lYMcAF-N39vx8WLng/discussion?view_as=subscriber If you wanted to check 'em out. Not too much, as I only started last year or so, and not very consistent with posting there.

  17655. 凄いビデオを作りました、高評価でした！! 僕は最近日本語を学ぶ始じまりました、 僕も知らない人と話たい、けどそんな事はまだとっても出来ない、緊張する恥しいから。 アノ、そんな虹色の髪型の女の子のInstagram教えて下さい🙏
    2
  17656. You inspire me to keep working hard on my japanese! Maybe one day I will see you on the streets of Japan! Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
    2
  17657. Wow your mandarin is so fluent and smooth it almost has its own rhythm!
    2
  17658. ahhhh the lady with Pink Flowers sooooooo Beautifulll. Introduce me to Chinese Lady.. warm and caring my only requirements ( not joking)..HOw lucky are youuuu. I wish I could been there....

    2
  17661. Always enjoyed
    2
  17662. I've always had a dream of opening either a cafe, or a western media store in japan (or both). This video only revitalized that dream.
    2
  17663. Smoking and cooking... like a boss. lol

  17664. The safest place for kids in the world---JAPAN🧗🤼⛹️🚴🤹👲

  17665. That was so fun, AM, thx.
    2
  17666. Kudos to you! I spent an extra year at undergrad, because I spent a year in Germany and didn't shedule out my gen ed requirements well. I really enjoyed this video
    2
  17667. I would just tell them I am Sumo in Training.
    2
  17668. Great video as always. Love your enthusiasm, curiosity, and encouragement. I feel that a lot of people will take that next step to learn languages and travel because you make putting yourself out there to talk to people seem less awkward or scary than we tend to think it will be. Good work, keep it up! ❤
    2
  17669. not 2 alarm u but i think i'm falling in love with mr rickshaw gump, loving these vids Anming! always makes me smile :^)
    2
  17670. Another great video! Here are simple tips for everyone if you receive an email from someone you don't know: 1 - Don't click on any links. 2 - Don't open any attachments. 3 - Don't respond to them. 4 - Delete the email.
    2
  17671. I was listening to when you two were talking about who was paying in the shop and I felt really happy cause I could recognise and understand when you were saying 「大丈夫、大丈夫。安い。」
    2
  17672. Good to know. Thanks, Oriental Pearl!
    2
  17673. Hopefully one day you can bring your husband to America and show him how different it is here
    2
  17674. Congratulations on your marriage. So happy for you.
    2
  17675. Maybe you can go also to the Philippines our language is much easier than Japanese & Chinese and English is our second language too.. new subscriber here...
    2
  17676. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ amazing, beautiful content and a very potent idea to approach people and speak with them i. Their language and a very rare idea for vlog content.
    2
  17677. PERKELE! It's Finnish and now TORILLE! Great video!
    2
  17678. Fantastic work 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠
    2
  17679. I like the background music. It's like a badass japanese ronin. And you are patrolling the territory.
    2
  17680. That boba is a bit small and cost Y560? Btw, when you told someone her Japanese has an accent, aren’t you worried you might hurt her confidence? Great video and please keep it up 👍
    2
  17681. I love Pimsleur and I can vouch for it being effective. I'm learning Spanish right now and surprising myself with how much I've learned.
    2
  17682. How interesting!
    2
  17683. Love your great sense of humor! You always have a smile on your face, so refreshing to see.
    2
  17684. "To know another language is to possess another soul". I forget who said that!
    2
  17685. Hairdresser was amazing xD. The Japanese do love packaging everything but the best thing is everything gets recycled really well so it's not a big issue. In the UK a food organisation would've fined or potentially threatened to remove a product from shelves if it has too much packaging. Because, it'd just end up on the ground, in rivers, ocean etc.
    2
  17686. You can do it Pearl, you are Mighty! 👍💪
    2
  17687. Amazing polyglot! Very impressive multilingual skills you have in there 😎🤓
    2
  17688. Nice and thanks for sharing 😎👍 I will show this to all my Weeb friends who don't get out much at all.
    2
  17689. Amazing! Love polyglot people! I’m very happy for u! Nice skills
    2
  17690. such big hearts.
    2
  17691. don’t like it ? don’t eat. No need to torture yourself. Let others know you can’t handle the food served.
    2
  17692. Looks like you do read almost every comment.. enjoy that while it lasts, because when you get more popular, you'll forget to do it.. fame is an acquired feeling..
    2
  17693. Whenever I see a video with food in it and then someone comments ‘you made me hungry darn you’, I want to strangle them.
    2
  17694. As someone who's trying to become a polyglot, and someone who loves seeing and experiencing other cultures, you and a handful of other YouTubers like Xioma (I hope I spelt his name right!) are a big inspiration. The fact that you have these people criticising you over bigoted and very subjective stuff, is very saddening, to say the least! Also, Lisa just earned a new fan! I hope her band becomes more well known and appreciated!
    2
  17695. She definitely should work as a model. Why is she not one yet?!
    2
  17696. That older woman reminds me of my mom here in the USA! She loves meeting people & is quite the charmer. I'm glad to see we have a lot in common.
    2
  17697. Speaking the language definitely helps when you want experience the food and know what you are going to be eating. Taste and the different manner ingredients are combined can totally change how the same or similar dishes changes from place to place.
    2
  17698. I'm currently living in Japan with a private school program for the year to both learn Japanese and experience full immersion into the culture, my experience here is exactly what you say! Conversations with people are just normal everyday things with people rarely acting shocked that you can speak their language, thank you for trying to show others what living and speaking abroad is really like. I feel like the fast interesting media of our modern day has removed some of the more interesting intricacies of day to day international communication
    2
  17699. Money doesn't grow on trees. How are you getting money to support yourself while in Japan? I love your videos, wish I there in Japan to meet you in person.
    2
  17700. Thank you, your video helps me a lot.
    2
  17701. I wanna learn some chinese and Japanese aswell, seeing your videos really inspires me to learn it and study!
    2
  17702. IloveU Anming me gusta mucho tu forma de contar historias... I really enjoy you're videos.
    2
  17703. According to Wiktionary, the first known appearance of the word ‘Yankee’ is from the year 1683. And according to Wikipedia, early versions of the song “Yankee Doodle” date to before the Seven Years’ War (between 1756 & 1763) & the American Revolution (between 1765 & 1783). NO WAY does it only date back to the American Civil War.
    2
  17704. How long have you been learning Japanese?
    2
  17705. Hey again, I have commented on a few of your videos . I’ve also noticed some comments from others that haven’t been very nice / negative . Please do not take these to heart, instead, use them to motivate you even more . I am so happy to see you break through your shell and put yourself on YouTube for the world to see , it benefits so many people in many ways, and it would be so easy for you to not take the time to edit and upload these vids, but know one would be able to enjoy them. wo I ni AN MING !!!! Hahah
    2
  17706. I love your videos
    2
  17707. OMG those girls in kimono were so damn awesome 😍
    2
  17708. In America how much is ¥3,600? I was always curious
    2
  17709. I think it's good to give Japanese (in general) more exposure to foreigners speaking their language. Hopefully that would raise their curiosity and openness to other cultures as well.
    2
  17710. I'm learning Japanese so hopefully one day I can do this
    2
  17711. I love Sam 😍
    2
  17712. Believe in Jesus Christ. Be repent. Heaven and hell exist.
    2
  17713. I'm in California I wonder if Everytime we message each other it's night over there and morning where I'm at is this true ? Lol HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY MY FRIEND
    2
  17714. I know this video is a little old, but I'm a big fan of your channel, and you're extremely inspiring to me to learn Chinese. thanks for posting this :)
    2
  17715. Hii! I come from Manila, Philippines, and I have been to Okinawa! I guess I find Okinawa much more interesting because it's a different place from mine! I loved it when I was there, and can't wait to go back! Too bad there is no direct flight there from Manila (I did my layover in Fukuoka) because it's only 900 miles apart. I loved how comfy and at home I felt in Okinawa in terms of food, culture and atmosphere! I heard Okinawa is like the Hawaii of Japan, and though I have never been to Hawaii, I can feel it in a way! I think I am more into exploring abroad than local, which is fine since I'm young, but the beaches in Philippines are really beautiful! If you're a local here however, sometimes the money you spend exploring in Philippines can be just as expensive as going abroad.
    2
  17716. Don’t forget your UK followers too ! 💕
    2
  17717. Spek Javanese in Indonesia with medok you will immediately be very famous
    2
  17718. you seem like such a nice and positive person wow, I love how you were making them feel comfortable easily lol, Thank you for your video :))❤
    2
  17719. Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (Jn 3:16" But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17):
    2
  17720. 3:59 This was so cute

    2

    2
  17733. Thank you Miss Pearl . I will like and keep for future reference.👍😃
    2
  17734. Do children go door to door trick or treating in Japan?
    2
  17735. Pearl, I just binged a few of your videos. You should hire me to proof read your subtitles and then pay me a absurd salary. lol
    2
  17736. Watching this vid again because you look really hot in this outfit btw Road to 250K ... Fighting
    2
  17737. This definitely uplifts the spirit. Cultural diffusion at its finest. Such positive energy and enthusiasm. Wish there were more videos like this where we are all culturally one, and less about "Karens", Killings, Covid, and Racism 🙄
    2
  17738. アンミン姐さん！おはようございます！！ 今日も元気に、行ってまいります！！
    2
  17739. I've never seen foreigners when I was a child because I lived in one of the rural areas in Japan, I wish I could live in the big cities too, but it's expensive there ahaha
    2
  17740. Seeing you stand by the window only means one thing...delicious snacks and smiling happiness! :D
    2
  17741. I can only imagine having to hear that so much! Good on you for flipping it on its head and turn it into a positive way to have fun! (even if it can be hard at times) Also, I have still yet to try Bubble Tea. What kind/flavour do you like?
    2
  17742. Love from India 🇮🇳
    2
  17743. you are beautiful!! love your vids and following along.
    2
  17744. My dream is to become an English teacher in China. I'm 17 years old an dive been studying Chinese for maybe.. 1 year now. I can only speak a little but memorizing the characters is so difficult for me. Im also scared of not getting a job if I do keep this as my dream because my school grades aren't too good.... Hhh... Its a little scary...
    2
  17745. love the energy
    2
  17746. 强大🐯 向你学习。
    2
  17747. Thank you Anming for letting us be a part of your wedding day. 🙏💕 Beautiful couple.
    2
  17748. Awww the shout out for Michigan <3 I rarely visit much anymore but I do miss the simple life there. Dont lose faith with your videos, I love the content!
    2
  17749. That is just beautiful, thank you for sharing this with us Gweilo.
    2
  17750. You’ve been exposed! Do you think you stand out a little bit? Have fun! ✌️
    2
  17751. I take my vacations in the Philippines.
    2
  17752. Is there a Japanese community in Chicago?
    2
  17753. I've found sharing a common language when not expected helps me out technically and for the person fluent is ALWAYS happy to help me out improve. I only wished I'd applied myself 50+ odd yrs back when I was traveling and able. I love your videos not only for the content but the visual, taking me places I'm not capable of going. ❤❤ keep up the videos, your appreciated...
    2
  17754. What language school did you attend? Mine was also in West Shinjuku
    2
  17755. Just FYI sugoi means amazing and kakui means cool 👍
    2
  17756. Those kids towards the end are so freaking cute especially that one girl who keeps jumping up and down happily 🥰 this is so wholesome thank you so much for sharing their! 🩷
    2
  17757. food looks very delicious .
    2
  17758. You got Japanese food, in Chinatown, in Korea? That's crazy 😂
    2
  17759. These people just dont know when to give it up... "Yeah, dont speak another language because it offends me, I don't like the fact that you're probably 20 times more intelligent than I' am."
    2
  17760. Japan and China are still not very diverse so it's still a bit of a novelty to hear foreigners speak the local language well and so they compliment you. Maybe one day such reaction videos will draw little attention on youtube as it becomes common to hear foreigners speaking the local language. Hence maybe make the most of it now :)
    2
  17761. Great video as always 👍
    2
  17762. 安明，我晚上在中国农村我老家的房顶上听着歌，看着你的视频。决定送你一首歌《明月千里寄相思》https://youtu.be/xIRvoTo4joM
    2
  17763. I embrace many cultures so I agree with you.... you don't have to hate your own culture to like another.... only living in the USA... and never traveling to other countries.... leaves me with only my imagination about life elsewhere.... I ask a lot of questions to people about their lives etc...😚 I truly enjoy your videos about life in Japan and it's very interesting to me how well you've acclimated to life in another country.👋👍🙏 best of luck on your upcoming marriage
    2
  17764. ▓▒░   If   there's  anything  I've  learned   from   watching   this   video . . . is that Fortune Cookies did not originate from   China.    `   Perhaps  it  was invented  by someone in Japan or South Korea or   Hong  Kong or  Singapore or   some other country.   ░▒▓ `

  17765. Love the shiba representation!

  17767. almost $400 rent+utilities and internet? not bad..
    2
  17768. Pearl she is a beautiful lady!
    2
  17769. Basedon anime only, inever thought japanses schools were nice, it looked lije a different flavor of high school drama I don't want to partake in.
    2
  17770. I’m learning Japanese as well. I would like to work and live in Japan but I do not want to do English teacher since I’ll have a tech degree
    2
  17771. A strange clash between my usual geographic/urban decay content and polyglot content... I love it!
    2
  17772. Nice to see you back Anming ,it's been a while .We'd Love to see a Christmas in Japan video.......
    2

  17779. ITS MY FRIEND SAM
    2
  17780. Your edits getting more sicker This i like hahahaha
    2
  17781. What a lovely video , people shocked when you speak their language , I guess it’s not every day they come across foreigners speaking there native language, next time they see foreigners they might think twice about talking about people just in case lol , I’m in my 50,s now I don’t think I got time to learn what you have learnt since you are so young , learning a few words to get me by probably be my limit , awesome effort for learning their language , you have done well . 👍
    2
  17782. If you are so smart, maybe you can tell me why watching you makes me so emotional. Is it because I should have picked up another language? Is it because others are so amazed that you can speak their language so well. I think it's a combination of the two. More please.
    2
  17783. A pretty special episode. Congratulations on such a beautiful wedding. Thanks for sharing. So neat to see.
    2
  17784. beautiful couple 👍🥳
    2
  17785. Chuffed to see you uploaded, Anming. I’ve binged your channel - thank you for the awesome content. I love your vlog stuff with Tommy. How’s he doing? Hope you’re enjoying married life and fully settled into your apartment.
    2
  17786. I have a Finnish friend who taught be a little Finnish back in the mid 1980s. I can still say How are You (mita kuuluu), Fine (hyyva), Thank You (kiitos), and Good-bye (nakemiin). She also taught me the Finnish version of Itsy Bitsy Spider, which I still remember.
    2
  17787. when school start imma surpirce my chinese friedn with my chinese i've learn during confinement
    2
  17788. They are amazed with your unexpected Asian languages speaking, Miss Alyssa, and lots of people from local Japan and other countries in Asakusa.
    2
  17789. How are you ? I love you 🇺🇸😍❤
    2
  17790. A really interesting behind the scenes look at these wonderful and interesting folks. Big thanks for another wonderful video!
    2
  17791. That arch at 11:38 is pretty. There are many purely functional pillars nearby, so it's a nice touch of beauty.
    2
  17792. Thats awesome being immersed in the culture. You mindset does change the longer you interact with the locals and being part of the community
    2
  17793. i just think youre amazing and an inspiration to my complete interest in studying to learn mandarin as fluently and fast as possible.
    2
  17794. Same here….my family was unable to come to my wedding (distance, short notice) Her family was there - that worked out just fine.
    2
  17795. As a russian person, if you spoke fluent russian I would have mistaken you for a russian haha you're so beautiful and talented in languages! I've been learning korean since 2019 but still hardly speak it, you inspired me and I'll try to be better and i also subscribed!♡
    2
  17796. Than you so much for this video!!!Finally someone like me fed up enough to listen to so many false polyglots claiming impossibile things and giving you advice on learning or, even worse, methods! I found many of them claiming to speak a bunch of languages just reading the same phrase in several language or just repeating the same conversation over and over... Shame!
    2
  17797. I'd say even the most remote places on earth, people live their everyday life, offer you some tea sometimes and are curious. Such a nice Video.
    2
  17798. You are beautiful inside and outside.
    2
  17799. Keep up the videos!
    2
  17800. Thanks!
    2
  17801. Hello from Michigan. Just be you.
    2
  17802. People really conflate culture appropriation and appreciation way too often.
    2
  17803. I’m still blown away when you switch from Chinese to Japanese. Maybe because I can judge your Japanese and I’m just surprised how well you use the right word without stumbling at all. As always, a good video. I think the dan brown books are all about the plot so reading it in translation you shouldn’t miss much.
    2
  17804. Thank you Anming for sharing this! I like that you also show parts of Japan not many people even know existed or rarely heard of. It is wonderful you share the link to donate. Fun fact I am subscribed to that church's YouTube channel and I have heard of Pastor Marcel from other interviews of foreigners living in Japan. What a small world! It is great that you are sharing the link of his ministry that helps the homeless people. I get worried abut the elderly in America knowing how little help some get
    2
  17805. You look so pretty like model 💓🍵😌
    2
  17806. I love your editing style, great story, Katy is so gorgeous and she seems like a sweet person
    2
  17807. My family is Brazilian, and I was born in Brazil, but we moved to Germany when I was 3, so I speak fluent, native German. My mom says my brother and I would talk to her and dad exclusively in German, and they would answer in Portuguese, and let's just say we got a couple of stares in public lol
    2

  17809. Hardly anyone in Japan is fat, you need to understand it from the Japanese context not your American context of "fat shaming" , seeing a fat person here in japan is very rare so the reactions are expected. Also the reason our stuff is tiny in Japan is because the Japanese territory is very very small in comparison to America. We dont have the resources or the room to supersize everything like the Americans do. Our small islands are full to the brim already.

  17811. So bizarre, I haven't seen your posts in a while but your poll showed up on my subscription page so I clicked back on to your channel and I've been unsubscribed? I wonder if this has happened to anybody else? Anywho I noticed you have shot up in subscribers! Well done to you! Your videos are cool to watch :)

  17812. Indeed never be afraid to make mistakes, yet i have had my share of embarrassing mistakes: Taiwan ordering chicken chops (鸡排, jī pái) but pronouncing it more like 'ji bai' which as i understand is referring to some anatomy parts. Calling a girl 'little girl' (xiăo to) but pronouncing it as 鸭头 yá tóu (ducks head). Calling a lovely singaporean girl named 香花 (fragrant flower, xiāng huā) erroneously a frog (青蛙, Qīngwā). (That's probably why it didnt work out). Speaking of mispronouncing mistakes: often hear chinese men or women giggle when they are in a speaking elevator that announces 'going down'. I understand that to refer to a girl with loose morals

  17813. Thanks you for sharing，after watched a couple of your videos，i have subscribed your tune，could you please keep a whole sentence when subtitle is appearing，maybe it's easy for some audiences who are Non-native speakers of English. 谢谢分享，强烈要求字幕显示完整的一句话。

  17819. When I was in Germany many many years ago I was at a night club. I attempted to speak with what I thought was a very pretty girl. She had beautiful eyes. Sooooo in German, my very bad German, I thought I said in German, "you have such pretty eyes". What I really said was, "you have a pretty eye" they started laughing! She said to my German friend, "what about my other eye" lol we laughed, she laughed, we never spoke again! lol

  17825. You are super Best my friend

  17826. Awesome.
    2
  17827. You are amazing with your mastering of so many languages. I have heard it gets easier the more you know but I find that hard to believe languages sounds so different!!
    2
  17828. I always enjoy your videos. I certainly trust you continue to make them.
    2
  17829. Nerdy? Maybe. Gorgeous, incredible, hilarious girl tips. You are very inspirational and motivating. But, also incredibly fun to watch. I love your sense of humor.

  17830. How has the apartment been so far with you and your fiance?
    2
  17831. I also have the exact same experience. Living in Tokyo but I love to travel and visit rural Japan on my motorcycle for holidays. I have met sooooo many nice people. Be it in a local izakaya and restaurant, in minpakus, passer-by on the street when I was looking at my maps asking me where I was going or if I was lost. Rural Japan is truly a gem. But i am a bit sad because I visited a lot of those villages full of nice elderly and I know that in a couple of decades those villages may disappear. Thank you anyway for sharing the love of 田舎

  17832. Uma Thurman looks that kill!..."Uma" in Hawaiian means 'Arm Wrestle', and I'm curious what language Uma got her name, how some words spelled and pronounced the same way in other cultures but difference in meaning. I'm glad she was a role in your night out and Xiao Li is pretty!
    2
  17833. So what do you do now? How are you able to speak both Chinese and Japanese fluently?
    2
  17834. Learning language is hard work, u deserve recognition for the effort
    2
  17835. Yeah less money to spent in Philippines BUT its not safe to live in Philippines. If i were you just stay in Japan. Im filipino but ive been living here in USA California for 32 yrs now, but yeah, not in Philippines, just trust me... I KNOW. !!! .... jaa... Ki o tsukete ne.

  17837. 6:40 In France, this bugs sound is associated with the regions in border of the sea when it's kinda hot, at least, for me. Most of the French people are not living along the sea but, during the summer, families rent little homes or camping near the sea. It's very common. So, like a lot of French, i have a lot of memories as a child and associate these bugs sound as holidays and really peaceful happy and chill memories For me this sound is associate with happyness peaceful and relaxation. I would feel so relax to just walk there Can't wait to visit Japan ;_; thanks for the video btw!

  17846. Well I think it’s clear and fine but I would prefer the small camera gopro it is easy to use and really awesome. Did something happened for that camera?🥺

  17847. Gopro 7 or 8? I have a GoPro 8 bundle from Costco that’s still sitting in the box unopened after two months

  17856. nice, rn im currently still beginning to learn japanese

  17857. The blank stare at 2:11 made me smile. Then the old Disney cartoon cracked me up.

  17858. People are uncomfortable because you're confronting their racism. This has nothing to do with you or others who speak multiple languages. It has to do with the insecurities of your critics and the racism inherent to all humans regardless of skin colour.
    2
  17859. Lol I’m trying to watch new content from you cause I’m bored, but I’m rewatching older videos lol so good keep going queen 😬 xie xie.

  17863. Very interesting subject. English is my second language and I can tell you that I learned by total immersion when I was young. I don’t learn well in classroom, but I totally believe in the best way to learn is immersing oneself in the language. Claiming to learn over 100 languages is pretty out there. I like your videos. You seem very down to earth. Thanks for making this.

  17864. Katie is gorgeous!

  17865. Damn it’s amazing how you keep moving between countries and finding happiness. I used to be scared I’d never be stable enough, that I’d have to pick one place I’d want to be in forever. But university and coronavirus forced me to be more individual. And I feel like I could do a similar thing to you, move to one of those countries and if anything happens- keep traveling. Currently I’m studying Russian and Japanese at a polish university. I was also born in Germany so... so far I have quite a few possibilities haha. I wonder if I’d ever manage to learn Chinese like you did, seems like it’s easier to learn Japanese after knowing Chinese characters, but who knows! I gotta say I really admire you and your character- I’ll surely subscribe! Have a nice day... or night! Haha
    2
  17866. I'm so happy for you both. おめでとう 🥰 You looked so beautiful in your wedding dress 😍 Can't wait for the next video ❤
    2
  17867. I think a big reason why I had some problems making friends in Japan was that I was paranoid that people were just using me to practice English for free.
    2
  17868. You are such an inspiration 😍 I couldn't stop smiling when Charles came out 🙌 Love your vids!

  17872. So sweet and kind from your inlaws to go to church for new years prayer. Hehe only in Japan ppl wait in perfect line patiently for 3 hours for 30seconds prayer and a picture. Gotta love Japan
    2
  17873. I like Sam and watch his vlogs. He seems genuine unlike a lot of other YouTubers. I think it’s rude to ask a stranger their weight though.
    2
  17874. i really enjoyed this video, thanks!
    2
  17875. I have been followed around supermarkets in Asia by strangers, with them copying products I buy. But this was quite a while ago and would have been them wanting to copy exotic fashion, even though it’s just a brand of soy milk or some red apples etc.
    2
  17876. You're just so cool! I love your videos.
    2
  17877. Okay, first of all, there were so many different places in just this one video! First Hawaii, then Utah, then Japan... It is so nice to see you making people's days and you did it across thousands of miles <3

  17878. at the beginning when you said you almost lost your mom...me: she's in a bright yellow costume. at the end: CRAP. EVERYONE is in Pikachu costumes!🤣

  17880. カメラに両手を振るのは日本っぽい仕草だったのか！言われてみれば確かに…
    2
  17881. One thing I hear often is "That is a difficult languages to learn" and it doesn't matter what languages, I wonder if every body believe there languages is difficult to learn and if the truth might be, that all languages is difficult to learn from scratch ?

  17882. I would love to see more of this side japan.

  17885. As a Londoner, I know how foreigners don't understand that London isn't England, so I immediately empathised that Tokyo isn't Japan. Sometimes I think that the really big rich cities have more in common with each other than they do with their national cultures.

  17886. When im older i rlly hope i move to Japan!!

  17887. Great video! 👍 Suzuki is AWESOME! I really appreciate you showing us about rickshaw drivers in Japan! This series was wonderful! They are so much fun! I love your videos ( and your channel)!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

  17888. You look 👀 like you enjoyed your friends company and your fellow Northeastern Chinese new one. That sea 🌊 cucumber 🥒 was his way of honoring his new friend. How sweet...this couple are the ones who returned to Australia..right? I’m aware that we also sent firefighters over there during their devastating loss of due to overwhelming Fires 🔥 in their homeland...I’m concerned for the Indigenous Native people there as well. Be Safe and greatly blessed. 🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽🥰🌹🤔👏🏽🇺🇸❤️

  17893. I live in Los Angeles whilst my folks & relatives in San Francisco bay area. The real estate markets here are comparable to the ones in Tokyo (including "gifts" to landlords). Please feature the Japanese health care system next as it seems racist to isolate foreign patients. Does Drew really have no status after 17 years of living there? Insurance?
    2
  17894. It opens a lot of doors when you are self confident as you can find yourself making new friends and having new experiences, if both sides are shy about speaking then one side has to take the initiative. Having random conversations and making friends is the best way to learn, there is more complicated stuff I wish I could learn if I had the time that I would have got from school but for daily life you don't need that much. You also learn how to speak like regular people when conversing in izakaya and places like that and you become more natural and less robotic. I'd say 90% of my Japanese comes from hanging out with friends and 10% from movies and video games. I had a couple of books in my teens when I started wanting to learn but they never really had the real useful stuff in them. It was good for remembering all the katakana,hiragana and kanji but not much else. You learn a language by being around the people who speak it. Been in Japan since 2005 with a 6 month gap in 2007 and my Japanese is probably worse than yours but you don't need more for daily life lol.
    2
  17895. I am so glad things worked out well for you, Anming, you've always been a tip-top China vlogger (I don't keep track of Japan vloggers but I'm sure you're just as good of those!)

  17896. Cant watch too pretty

  17897. Thank you for this very interesting video ! I never thought that they were not fluent when they said they knew all these languages. 😅 I studied English 12 years , and spent 2 years in the UK as an exchange . Most people tell me I'm fluent when they hear me because of my prononciation 😅 And even now, I'm still correcting them and saying I'm far from fluent, even though my level is now a good C1-C2 😂 And only because for me ,being fluent would be having C2 ++ It's very strange to consider that you know a language when you wouldn't have the sufficient level to live in the country or even talk with natives about the latest news xD

  17911. That vending machine was cool. I live in the USA and I don’t see those in neighborhoods here. Also the lady selling candy seemed very nice and respectful, she even wanted you to count the change, that was great! Nice video Anming! - Galaxy 2

  17912. That was fun. Should do another collab :)
    2
  17913. I love your videos - it brings back memories of my stay in Tokyo. It's a bit like NHK's 'Somewhere Street' - (albeit you're in lockdown in the one city). Would it be selfish of me, to wish that your stay in Japan is for a little longer?
    2
  17914. You got me. Subscribed. Regards from Germany. 🙂👍🇩🇪

  17920. I should be studying 😂🤣 you're right! Thank you again for informative content!! Awesome channel with awesome mission

  17925. Hi there. I like your channel. Love to visit Japan 1 day in the mid time I'm glad you take some time and make this good videos, I really appreciate. Thanks
    2
  17926. Thank you for showing this. Bless you for going there. This is so sad. I may be ignorant but I thought in Asia people respected there elders. I've seen a American guy marry an Asian women and he had to except care for his mother in law because she was widowed. Its part of the culture. I may be wrong. But still the elderly don't deserve this.

  17927. Looks like lots of fun

  17928. Trilingual-ish person here–I speak English, Spanish (though I’m a bit rusty), and some French–. In my opinion, some ‘polyglot’ channels can be a great way to get people into learning languages/dialects (especially ones they may have never heard of). The talents that are key to what they do are: being fast learners, as well as having good memorization & listening skills. Some actually take the time to do lessons, practice with native speakers, etc. But no matter how talented you are, googling a few things will not make you fluent. Another factor in the fluency illusion is that native speakers you talk to might avoid pointing out your mistakes to be nice. It depends on the culture & the individual. For example, a lot of French people will correct you; remember that they’re doing it to help you, not to mock you.

  17929. Stay safe and thanks for filming. I was on the yamanote line exactly 1 year ago :(

  17931. This apartment is a mansion compared to your last home!! I love it 💕💕💕
    2
  17932. Really enjoyed this one. It was fun seeing 2 non Japanese people conversing in native level Japanese. Out of curiosity, have you thought about putting Japanese/Chinese subtitles? I'd love to learn some of the grammar for the Japanese side of things :P
    2
  17933. Interesting video. It’s a unique window into cross-cultural interactions and perspectives that most Westerners don’t usually get a chance to see.
    2
  17934. Love your videos, only complaint that I have is I don't speak Japanese or Chinese. So I rely heavily on the sub titles. Yours is in white which is good but the person that you are talking to is in green. Sometimes it blends with the background which makes it hard to read. Can you use a bright or fluorescent green or maybe yellow so it can be easier to follow what they are saying to you. Just a thought... keep up the great vids...
    2
  17935. You make me smile.

  17936. Great episode, thank you.

  17937. just a nice video...thank you alyssa

  17938. Damn, dropping the age bar that much was HARSH! lol ^^ Sidenote: one thing I don't think I've heard anyone on this platform ever bring up is the business model of some of these apps. Take the example of perhaps the most famous one out there: Duolingo. Duolingo was developed by von Ahn, same guy who worked on CAPTCHA and re-CAPTCHA. And it's the same underlying idea. re-CAPTCHA uses free human input to assist computer manuscript recognition programmes. On the user's end it's meant as a security feature, but on the back end it serves other purposes. What used to be a job, albeit granted a menial one, is now done for free by the user.  Same with Duolinguo. Its business model involves selling to companies translations done by the users themselves (rather, compounding the translations of a large number of users). I'm often surprised by just how many users aren't even aware of that fact. Depending on their aims, it's also a bit sad because some of them end up shooting themselves in the foot without even realising it. For instance, I don't work in translation anymore, but when I did I was fortunate because I had found the right people, right market segment, etc. But I met dozens upon dozens of young people trying to make some money through translation, only to realise that the market rates are so shitty now that there's hardly any way at all to make a decent living off of it. (Without giving absolute values, I'll just say that I knew young people taking on jobs where the price per word was not even 1/20th of what I used to charge). The reason the market rates are so low now obviously isn't due entirely to Duolingo. But it's certainly part of it. Anyway, this isn't to try to convince people not to use it. It's up to each individual to figure out what they think about economic issues like this. I just mention it because a lot of people just aren't even aware of it, and if they're not aware of it they can't make up their minds about whether this is important to them or not. So best to know about it, and then make up your mind. Because, simply put, you can't use Duolingo and then complain the profession of translator is being wiped out, just like you can't complain local small businesses are being wiped out if you buy everything on Amazon.

  17948. I love the authenticity you bring in your channel Anming. I can’t ever be tired of your edits of people’s reactions. For some reason the girl in the beginning looks like a classmate that went to middle school with me 😂

  17955. Oh nice! You finally decided to go for the East Asia trifecta, so jelly 😄. The medium to harder words in Korean are heavily Chinese roots based (with a good portion “overlapping” the Japanese and Mandarin pronunciation), so once you get past the basic Korean-root based words, I’m sure you’ll fly through the rest 화이팅! ✊Also, Korean Idol variety game and talk shows helped accelerate my Korean (shows like 강심장 or 라디오스타) because like Japanese or Chinese TV, they hammer you over the head with subtitles and repetition, the topics aren’t too narrow, and that 20-something vernacular tends to be a good mix of “simpler” language, plus everyday, plus trendier speak. Maybe I will use this as the impetus to find a good Japanese and Mandarin class 😜

  17959. You are good in Japanese I am also trying to learn Japanese language . I am beginner please give me some advice or anything else for improving Japanese.
    2
  17960. Another great video! The kids are cute but definitely a curious bunch yearning to learn it seems. I think most countries have various regional accents. They were probably just saying you had a midwestern US accent.
    2
  17961. So excited for a new video! takes break from working from home to watch 😂 thanks for keeping us entertained during this uncertain time. You are so uplifting. Have a great weekend.

  17965. Not going to name names but there's a certain someone who claims to speak all these languages but really just learned the same sentence in all those languages. It's obvious when the native speakers try and change the conversation but the "polygot" keeps repeating the same sentence until they get the reply they understand
    2
  17966. You speak Chinese really well and with confidence I guess that's why people feel excited hearing you speaking Chinese in Japan , I understand your feeling I had the same situation speaking fluent French . Btw your Videos help me a lot improving my Chinese and get me know to everyday Chinese speaking coversations keep going ❤❤

  17967. Lol you spoke Finnish with a Japanese accent!

  17968. Thanks for telling your story. I rike you. You make me raff.
    2
  17969. Yes, I taught English to kids in Japan and college age students in China. I really didn’t enjoy the whole classroom management aspect of teaching, so I quit and decided to become an accountant. Eight years later, I’m sick of it! So I plan to do a MA in TESOL so I can teach at a university level in Australia and hopefully just concentrate on teaching and less on classroom discipline.

  17970. I always love your vids!

  17971. Any foreigners who can learn fluent Japanese deserve some kind of medal. It's so hard.
    2
  17972. Great job with the video Anming! Near professional editing there? Felt like we were able to see and feel snippets of happy memories from home that came to you as you were doing simple tasks like cleaning or going about your day. I liked the contrast of the cold Japanese spring weather with the warm flashes of family memories at home...well done!! Glad you are not alone there and have your roommates for company!!
    2
  17973. Interesting info about Malay right at the end. You never know when you're gonna learn something.

  17974. Great video I can’t believe I had not seen this one before. Thanks for sharing. I personally would love to do something like this because I enjoy experiencing other cultures as long as respect is high among roommates

  17993. You're so good at languages ❤
    2
  17994. 1) I think I replayed the black-and-white parts of this video around 7 times. 😂 2) 0:38 - "it makes me uncomfortable." Well, there is part of the problem: too many snowflakes out there who think that "something making me uncomfortable" = "evil." There is no logical reason for that equation to always be correct. 3) However: there are many misleading and/or dishonest language learning videos out there, trying to sell unnecessary or shady "learning" tools, or just showing off some cringe narcissism. But I don't think your channel falls into that category. Keep it up!
    2
  17995. I truly love all your videos they always made my day , i'm studying both chinese and japanese , i'm HSK 3 and N3 . You truly inspire me and i want someday to visit Japan and China . I truly want to ask you something for a long time but i didn't have the courage to do so ! Are you familiar with the four chinese great novels 1. 三国演义 , 2. 水浒传 , 3. 西游记 , 4. 红楼梦 . i'm really fond of 西游记 actually do you know it ? i'm like a huge fan of 齐天大圣孙悟空 i hope you know it if not i reccoment you to read it in chinese , it's so beautiful . I'm sorry my comment has nothing to do with your video , i feel like an idiot ! have a nice day you are truly amazing person 🥰 i hope i can be fluent like you one day ! in both !

  18000. They are only staring because you're beautiful... 😍
    2
  18001. I can understand the fact that it can be bothering that they keep on remaind you that your Chinese is good . Maybe it's due on the fact theres not enough foreigners who are speaking Chinese or Japanese that's why they are making a big deal of it . But I figured things are about to change for the better . Because the economy in china and japan is decreasing and I believe they will need foreigners to come and work over there . And at the same learn those language ^_^ . So just keep on doing those videos you are doing great ! ^^ and dont worry things will change for better ^_^

  18002. I really like your channel and your openness to discuss the dark side of YouTube. Sam has such an amazing positive attitude.

  18003. Extrañaba ver tus videos, son buenísimos y transmiten mucho

  18004. I just read your post of the nasty, unwarranted and untruthful criticisms against you. If people don't have anything constructive to say, they should just shut up! Just wanted to thank you for the videos you do, which have sparked my interest in learning Mandarin, or maybe more accurately, I just pick up words and phrases from only watching your videos (and the Food Ranger). Your personality is so cheerful and positive and it's so contagious and really brightens up my day. Your command of Mandarin is superb and I really enjoy watching and listening to you speaking Mandarin - so please make more Mandarin vids!

  18013. Thank you so much for sharing your take of Okinawa. I have a project given to me via Rakuten Travel and Okinawa Tourism Bureau to create a guide and so watching creative content like yours gives me an understanding of what people would usually do and inspires me to target things from a different angle. I am glad to see content creators get around and still flourish despite the circumstances that be, albeit, done safely! Keep doing you!

  18014. Oh my goodness, you, they are trolling you! Keep doing what you are doing.

  18016. That store was so cute and relaxing and I loved the twinkly ‘Beauty and the Beast’ songs playing. Also what was it you were eating? Was that cheese balls or something on the stick?

  18020. Watched this with my brother to show him how amazing learning and practising foreign languages is! Anming, you are the best in this!
    2
  18021. It's not a "pro-china" video because it has nothing to do with politics and is just about life there. It gets suspicious though when they continuously deny it making it political.

  18024. Good luck with your dream ! Love your videos ... to have the chance to see all the places and people's reactions regarding your language skills ! Best wishes from Halifax, Canada !

  18025. Your Vlog is stand out amongst others. Your audiences like to see a little piece of Anming’s life or thoughts. They also like to consume content in different ways & just as some prefer to read or listen to a story or advice, others prefer to watch it like I do. Great uses of punctuation on the text/sentence, attention to detail.
    2
  18026. Massive congratulations, Ive followed you for a while and its lovely to see you both so happy on your big day x
    2
  18027. I like your channel best among the ones with language pranks. You’re not just a polyglot. You’re actually an interesting person with a bright future beyond youtube. I am fully invested in your career
    2
  18028. Anming, you inspire us all! You're an awesome content creator and you always make me want to stop what I'm doing and learn a new language!
    2
  18029. Usually I only watch Youtube to get some Japanese practice on the side, but I saw a couple of your videos pop up and immediately found them refreshing and sincere! Your current accommodation (cheap share-house for Chinese students?) may look too shabby to some, but it's the best way to meet and make friends with people. But please don't live on junk food! There's a lot of healthy stuff you can just eat right out of the bag, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts! And yes, instant noodles are junk food too 😉 I lived in Japan for a year, going to a language school in Tokyo. I started from zero, so I only got to an intermediate level before I had to return to my country (Italy) for health reasons. But I'm trying to keep my studies up from here. Besides, it was my third language (2nd one would be English) and I found that the more languages you speak, the easier it gets. BTW if you want, I can recommend a share-house owner / small company that has an even mix of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and western residents in their houses. They hold events every month, including overnight trips every once in a while, and it's super cozy and family-sized, so you get to know everybody and it's super fun! Take care. -Toby

  18032. 1:36 he said : hello ladys and gentlemen, my name is Royce.... so to study languages there is a simple method ... languages are a close environment so that you have to learn a certain number of words to master the language ... so admitting that Korean or Japanese at 10 000 words you learned and that’s it you’re fluent ... that’s it , perfect(as a way to end his speech ...because he has nothing else to say) I’m not a professional translater ! I’m 15 years old and still in school ! So take this as an approximative translation ! I hope this helps !

  18033. You are pretty good at speaking Japanese I don’t know Japanese that much o how to write it but I know only these さよなら　こにちわ　あらあら　and anime characters names

  18040. I love how you just make friends with random people :> I like doing that when I go to new places. It's not as easy where I live but people look really friendly there. You're just able to start a conversation with anyone~
    2
  18041. I've forgot how much I love your channel.
    2
  18042. I am loving your videos!
    2
  18043. I think you covered the main points why I don't really like how popular these kinds of videos have become. It's discouraging and gives unrealistic expectations for people wanting to learn a language. To somebody who has never learned the language or is a beginner then the most basic conversation is impressive, I've had the same where people told me how amazing I sounded and I'm trying to explain I didn't have good Japanese. It was useable. Getting to an intermediate and advanced level took time living in Japan having advanced conversations and reading/writing daily. Even after 3 years of Japanese at University I moved to Japan and felt like I had to relearn a lot of things from scratch. Learning a language to a high level takes a lot of time and effort to do. I'd be sceptical of anybody who says they speak 13,14,15 languages or more but on Youtube it seems to be accepted as fact. Reality TV is not reality TV, there is the benefit of editing to make something look however you want. I don't see many people who are polyglots that speak multiple languages fluently, occasionally at the business level, mostly looking at governments, diplomacy and that sort of stuff. Can only speak for Japanese as that's what I've studied and lived but you can tell when somebody is a novice learner or only has some basic stuff they got from books. The way they speak, words they use and so on can expose it pretty quickly and it's the same in any language if you know it. That's why they tend to show very short clips or they don't really have much of a conversation and often the same sorts of conversations.

  18053. Awesome video, thank you for creating it and sharing you experiences. I have learnt basic Hindi, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia on top of my native Australian. People love it when you make the effort to learn their language and customs and apart from the nervous first test run in public, I've found it deeply satisfying to form human connection with people from other countries. Once while sitting in a warung in Bali when a couple came in speaking a language I had never heard before. Either had the staff and the people became frustrated. I whipped my phone out and used google translate to have the most amazing conversation with some lovely people that the language barrier would normally deter me from interacting with. It turned out they had lost their baggage on the flight and also were concerned if the food was vegan. I couldn't help them with their baggage, but we shared the most amazing meal together, not understanding a single word we spoke haha.

  18058. "Typical xxx behavior of a white person"??? Do people have any idea how racist that is? Way to assume something about someone based on- you guessed it- their race. Disgraceful. XD I'm glad the younger generations have a passion for social justice but I'd wish they'd stop throwing around buzzwords for brownie points. When I first came to know the meaning of "cultural appropriation" it happened to be around the same time I coincidentally found out about the Polish festival in Japan- a festival involving displays of Polish culture (so traditional garb, food, dance etc). Normally I would have been delighted to find someone taking interest in what I find part of my identity, but with these new ideas bouncing around in my head I wasn't too pleased. "How can they possibly know anything about my culture, they're not Pol-"... and then I stopped to consider what I was saying. Basically, I had assumed a given person couldn't possibly know or experience my culture the way I do because what?? They're a different race? Now that's racist. Any person could be as Polish as I should they so try. I hope people realize soon that culture- besides all the fancy exterior things- is a state of mind- and you're not magically born with or entitled to it based on whether you look the part. Also- have people never heard of globalization? XDD Everything we know from dishes to customs, to language- has come from a History of people crossing paths- righteous or not. Untangling it is impossible and seeks to fulfill some kind of racially pure/ nationalistic ideal. siiiiigh

  18066. This was awesome! I learned some things and also really enjoy your humor! It seems like it would be so fun to hang out with you and your friends in Japan, and I think when people watch your videos, that's the feeling we get, like we're hanging out, and it's fun and chill times. I am finally getting a quality video camera this week to really get things rolling on my YT channel! I have so many ideas planned out and am so ready to get started being a part of the JP learning YT community!

  18093. My parents met and got married in Kyushu Japan, and neither of them were Japanese but it was like the mutual language they could talk to each other in. My American Mom was working as an English teacher and my Indonesian Dad was working with a Japanese Lumber Company and they met at a party through a mutual friend. At the time, my Dad couldn't speak much English, only what he learned from listening to music.

  18101. I am actually starting to learn Japanese myself, I'm familiar with a few words and phases from watching anime and listening to Japanese songs. Btw your Japanese skills are so good as well as the pronunciations. I also travelled to Japan last year in September and stayed in Tokyo and Kyoto and it was the best trip I've gone on in sometime, I guess it was because I was already familiar with the Japanese culture and loved anime. Anyways I have just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more videos :)

  18102. I understand that feeling, @OrientalPearl, as I love going to the city of Takayama (高山、岐阜県) , which I first visited in 1984, and back then there was no social media or Internet at the time, so it was pretty rare to see many foreigners there at that time. I even remember talking to a senior lady who was at one of the sweet shops (駄菓子屋) there, and she was very surprised that I could converse with her in Japanese, though at that time, my Japanese was still at a "tourist" level (lol). I was told that she lived in that neighborhood since her birth back in Showa 3 (1928), and I was sad that she passed on by the time I made a return visit in 1995. But I do enjoy how most Japanese, in the city and in the countryside are willing to chat if you open yourself up a bit and just enjoy being around others.

  18105. They’re probably getting payed to advertise those apps. Appreciate u

  18106. A question (not critique!) about your Japanese. Your vocabulary and grammar are spot on and you confidently speak and understand. But, noticably, your Japanese speech RHYTHM is a bit stilted. Why? Often when a non-native is speaking there can be pauses as your brain thinks, but your actual Japanese is confident and skilled so I don't think your unique cadence is due to lack of knowledge. Maybe it's from your Japanese language school environment? Again, this is not a tease or complaint, I and others love your skills and get such a vicarious joy watching you and pretending we can speak like you!

  18107. Hey, his english is so much better now! Good job tommy!!
    2
  18108. A fairly common phrase in the eastern/northeastern US is “buh-bye” in addition to just “bye”. Always enjoy the videos, personality and cultural info.

  18111. Chinese often put coins into dumpling, the person who eat the coin will have a good lucky, the tradition are the origin of fortune cookie you refer to.

  18112. I was sleeping (more like a nap lol) at my parent's house when it happened. Hours before we had a small one (shindo 1 or so) near my home and I was sleeping then too 😅😂

  18115. 4:00 the ojiichan said "showa 25 nen kara" which means "since 1950 (in the Christian era)", hence it would be for 70 years

  18117. I have waited for this video 👁👄👁 so long

  18118. Not only Americans but allforeigners in Japan speak fluent English. One of the best Japanese speakers is the Race driver Dilantha Malagamuwa

  18124. Looked like they were playing Tops. When I was a kid, my brothers & I would play with Spinning Tops with the string. We would draw a circle on the ground, wrap your top with string, then pull the string as you are throwing your top in the circle. The object was to knock the opponent’s spinning top out of the circle. A neighbor boy we played with a different kind of spinning top called a Dreidel, which had symbols on it and he would play with it during Hanukkah, Jewish holiday.

  18125. 多分テンションの違いってものが大きな差かもね笑 主に浅草の動画で思ったけど日本人は内気な方が多いから「おぉ…そんな感じね、」ってなっちゃうんだと思う笑 嫌いって言う方はめちゃめちゃ少ないと思いますよ！

  18129. Thank you for shadding Light on this topic. These "polyglots" really Mess with my Motivation..😩

  18130. "How often do they feel the call of nature?" "Just one today" Me moments before: "Omg that dog is peeing on the other dog!" 🤣

  18131. Imagine MAKING A FULL VIDEO to just send hate to a girl living her best life in japan, talking in more than 2 languages, getting millions of well deserved views.... They project all their insecurities in you, and thats funny (and sad for them) 😂
    2
  18132. I love to watch kind of this video and I can’t wait you hit on 100k subs so I’ll be happy for that!

  18140. As a cinematographer, I have to say your videos are excellent, you keep it real & the sound quality is quite good! It's really fun watching the reaction of the locals when they find out you speak their language very well! I get that & I'm Hispanic I love to see their reaction when I start speaking Spanish & they're like what, you speak Spanish" I love to surprise people & get a big smile! I said this once before your Chinese accent is so sweet! Have fun!!!
    2
  18141. you're such an awesome person!!!!

  18142. 0:30, haha I got a shoutout!! Thanks! I am glad you liked my comments!!! I have fun watching your videos!

  18146. To support I have watched two advertisement iyhout skipping in the beginning of your other video and one ad in middle of the same video Xie xie

  18147. I'm a sub so your new video always pop up. But I know what you mean about the YT algorithm.

  18148. So are you planning to spend all your life in Asia? By the way, I love Asia

  18149. I really loved this Detroit episode, thanks for sharing this. I’ve been fascinated with how Highland Park and Hamtramck are actually not apart of Detroit but yet completely boarded by Detroit.
    2
  18150. WOW!!! In the land of Sumo wrestlers I’m surprised by the reaction to his weight 😲.

  18151. Lol I so want to see your husband reaction when he watch this video. Those boys asking if your taken or not lol XD lol they were hitting on you somehow lol they look disappointed when you said you have a husband XD I kind of think it's cute and funny somehow. Kids are just being kids lol 😆

  18152. Never once been to a 🏈 game

  18153. I loved the video! So... I am a Brazilian and Japanese descent (4th gereration already). Every now and then people ask to my wife (not Japanese descent) if I understand Brazilian Portuguese. Here we (japanese descents) are 0,87% of the Brazilian popullation. Funfact: I speak Portuguese, English and a little bit of Spanish, but a reeeeeeeally basic japanese that I learned from my parents.
    2
  18154. I like it that you show the real life also ❤
    2
  18155. I noticed that you also change your body language accordingly. When you speak Chinese you tend to lean forward and your pointing fingers comes out. When you speak Japanese you do the opposite (i.e. less arm and finger movement). Any thoughts?
    2
  18156. I love all your videos please keep making more videos I know you can hit 1M subscribers soon if you keep it up have a great day you Inspired me seriously you do 💖💖💖❤️❤️
    2
  18157. congrats !!
    2
  18158. Unless you live here in Japan you don't have the opportunity to participate in these kinds of activities. To put on the clothes and dance around like a caricature of someone Japanese would be appropriation and hopefully a slap upside the head. Investing time to learn a skill like this and do it properly is a sign of respect. Haters gonna he-to.
    2
  18159. This happens to me all the time, when you are someone who understands a language but can't speak it. People assume because you can't speak it, you don't understand😣😄
    2
  18160. Such a wholesome video. Love all your videos keep up the awesome work ☺. That old lady was so adorable, you wouldn't believe how many foreing friends I made in the faroese hospital. Greenlandic, Danish and Faroese. They always want to know what country I'm from because of my skin tone and hair. Old people are just the kindest thing ever.
    2
  18161. wish you guys all the best!! CONGRATS!
    2
  18162. Hello Anming. Hope you're doing well. First of all. That Chinatown is really cool. Love those dragons. Anyway. What gives?? Those Chinese folks really want you to get a Chinese boyfriend. I don't know how Toby would feel about that LOL. Finally, those egg tarts look really delicious. And now, I want egg tarts. Dang it! Take it easy :-)

  18163. Weird seeing western style graffiti in Japan.

  18165. Ironically, after this video ended, an ad for an app that could teach me any language in 30 days popped up.😄😄
    2
  18166. You both looks like Carole & Tuesday. Hope you know them
    2
  18167. Everyone loves it when you can speak in their native tongue. It is as if they are hearing their name being spoken without an introduction. Some people are floored. Some people are instantly curious. Most are both!
    2
  18168. Wow! What a great vid. And your drawing...wow! You did something that is quite uncommon among would-be artists: you captured a moment, a feel, a mood in your work. You didn't just draw something really well, you stated something, and you stated it coherently. As to my reason for watching your vids... First, it isn't just vids on Chinese and Japanese that I watch; I watch the YouTuber Langfocus and other vids on American's in other countries, as well as vids where Americans who speak other languages are hanging out in communities where the languages are spoken. Why? Well, take your average, every-day joe in, say, Minnesota: does he or she speak other languages besides English? Probably not. Is he or she exposed to other cultures (beyond the smaller Scandinavian communities), again, probably not. If they are, has there been an interest to mingle in those cultures and languages? Again, no. Americans used to travel a lot, and there was respect and admiration of other cultures, but there had never really been a desire to mingle and learn the languages. But that's changing. Now with so much immigration into our country and technology to bring the world right into your home, the younger generation is much more inclined to mingle and hang out with the people from other countries. Hence, there's been a shift of interest in and wonder of finding joy in learning to speak other languages and to learn about other cultures. For me, I've always had a fascination with languages, but only recently have I tried to buckle down and get Spanish under my belt, enough to at least converse casually without too much struggle. Well, thanks again, Pearl, for another sharing video! Note: in the upper right of the screen, there's a "Subtitles" sign with arrows pointing to the right. I have no idea, though, what that means; there's nothing to click. I just turned on the YouTube subtiles, which worked fine.

  18169. Muitas Felicidades, Feliz ano Novo

    2
  18175. Really cool. We can all learn new skills if we find a way how to whether we're young or old. 'Practice makes perfect' maybe a misnomer sometimes with languages as you said. Practice makes you a better each time is better imo.
    2
  18176. Love the videos = ) Keep it up

  18177. Sad to watch and they might be homeless but these Japanese homeless are clean

    2
  18194. Although I'm half chinese I started self-learning japanese with the help of some great websites and videos including yours! I've learned about 150 kanji so far and I'm planning on learning grammar soon, maybe when I've learned around 300 or more. Your videos are super helpful in helping me understand how the flow of conversation goes when talking with native speakers. Excited to see more videos! ありがとう！

  18195. Anming also does this but she walks Japanese and Chinese boys while drinking red bull

  18197. I'm originally from Farmington Hills, went to U of M, Ann Arbor, and I've lived in or around Tokyo for the last 30 years. This video brings back a lot of memories of taking my girlfriend, now wife, back to Michigan for family visits. Now I need to repeat the whole process with my son. Based on the Michigan hoodie your husband was given, I decided to give this video a like and subscribed.
    2
  18198. 5 years learning Spanish you must be able express yourself well enough 🤔😉
    2
  18199. I'd just like to say you both rocked those blue suit and dress very well. Of course your western bridal dress was beautiful too! This was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing both sides!

  18200. I'm a high school student, I already master English, and now I'm trying to master Japanese language cause I think it'll be important for my future.... It's fun also pretty tough, a lot of student in my school think that I'm kinda wierd or something, but then I bring my japanese to whole other level. Like being a MC for many event in my school last year. And a lot of teachers appreciate that and give me compliment, that was a huge booster for me to learn more. And by watching this channel, it gave me motivation to keep learning when I feel tired. And slowly I'm getting better and better. Thanks and I'm wishing the best for you... Keep up the spirit!!!!
    2
  18201. My boyfriend and I talk to people all the time. It is easy to tell who wants to talk and who wants to be left alone. Like you said, there is nothing to lose.
    2
  18202. When I hear people speaking a foreign language sometimes I wonder if people are talking about me. Then I remember how cool I am and realize they are just saying how awesome I am.
    2
  18203. I’ve been watching many of your videos and they are so amazing it’s like we’re all goin on an adventure with you and the fact that you make people happy just by speaking their native language is cool❤️ Such wholesome videos keep on making these videos and stay safe :)
    2
  18204. I'm a new subcriber but I've only been AMAZED by Anming's ability to speak 3 languages! Particularly Japanese, you speak it so beautifully and I even feel motivated to learn Japanese myself because of you, you're content makes me so happy, and you're such an energetic and wonderful person. I really couldn't care less about what those people said, I didn't even know that exsisted. Continue to make great content! 💖

  18216. I look forward to seeing your 3 month Korean language learning progress video. Would you say Pinsleur is good for intermediate language learners? I've been learning Spanish for quite awhile now. I can understand it well when I hear it spoken & written. I'm not too great at speaking. You think Pimsleur can help? Edit: I guess she wasn't going to put out a Korean language progress video & that's why she didn't respond to my comment. 😐😔

  18224. You are so right that fear of making a mistake and feeling foolish tends to hold one back from using a second language. Even when speaking in one's 1st language people make mistakes or can't immediately recall a word or phrase. Even though I know this, I still struggle with the feeling of inadequacy in Japanese until I just use it, and then mistakes or inability to come up the right word or phrase just becomes a minor obstacle to overcome. Usually it becomes a humorous incident, and whomever your talking to will try to correct and help you find the right words. Also, most are just happy that you are willing to attempt to speak their language. Your attitude and demonstrations operating in your two additional languages, show how interactions and connections are enriched. Thanks, you real world demonstrations drive home your point and inspire.
    2
  18225. Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see the other side of japan.

  18227. These days, many people from the other countries come to buy hentai products, which means sexy anime or manga, in Japan. Looking through the comment section, the rumor from my friend, who lives around Akihabara, seems true.😂 Whatever the kind of products, I am very glad that you buy our products. Thank you, love to you!

  18239. My diet story is very similar to yours. Growing up, I ate very limited choice of foods. I refused to eat anything else. But once I moved out off my comfort bubble, I started eating new foods (not by choice initially) and now I eat almost anything as long as they aren't too...exotic. It feels better to be able to eat all kinds of food.
    2
  18240. Wow this is such a great video and I love your energy, it’s so positive!
    2
  18241. You bring Japan and China to us in an entertaining informative way. Thanks

  18245. “How did I end up with Japanese food from china town in South Korea” hahaha. Fantastic video
    2
  18246. Bro the part where they said that Chinese was a horrible sounding language made me go Ballistic!!! It’s such a beautiful language and it sound magical!!! I have been criticized before to for the type of music I listen to. I listen to Indian (Punjabi) music, and people think that it sounds weird, and stupid. Which makes me sooo mad cause they don’t even know what they are saying. Plus people say that Indians smell and grow too much body hair but so does everyone else… I love you oriental pearl don’t listen to the haters, the world is always going to judge but we can’t let others bring us down, we have to spread joy and kindness to all around us, so we too can get respect back..🥰🥰☺️☺️☺️😁😁❤️❤️❤️

  18247. Speaking of bamboo I had one of those small plants before. I definitely get envying them coming from North America. Not at all common 😅

  18259. To be frank, more native-English speakers should learn foreign languages if only so that they may have a better understanding of the world. To know only one language is to severely limit yourself and your interactions in life. By learning other languages we can start to see things from another angle. Like you, as mentioned in another post on another one of your videos, I have spent a lot of time in Asia learning Japanese and some Cantonese. Your videos share the joy and adventure of learning, of experiential and academic learning, that I also feel. Keep up the good work. The world needs more young people like you - especially from the native English speaking world.

  18260. As someone who studied japanese for a little while and who has a chinese stepmother i cant understand too much of either of the languages but i CAN differentiate how different they sound. Im just used to japanese and mandarin being two entirely different sounds!

  18263. I remember when foreigners from different countries came to my elementary school back at 2014, younglings like us literally scattered everywhere surrounding them like a bunch of puppies wanting to get petted. I talked to an asian looking man (Don't know where he's from cause he looked like chinese or philipine) and he gave me a candy. My classmates are all jealous 😂 The whole school gets their pieces of papers with pen and asking them to sign their papers lol i get like six of them Ahh good times

  18280. In my country or any first-world country, everyone is trilingual or, at the very least, bilingual, so China is the only place in the world where a Chinese person would be shocked when seeing a foreigner who could speak Chinese. The rest of the world wouldn’t even bat an eyelid. 😂 Great content, keep it up ❤

  18298. Western know it all are just jealous of Jessica's amazing class. Raising NPCs criticisms is proof that you're doing something right. She's next level and they simply can't comprehend it. When I see her I get the feeling that she could embrace any culture with grace. Oh and, interesting video too :)

  18300. I want to pursue my masters in Japanese but I have no idea where to look or start in terms of studying in japan and acquiring the degree from their school. Some insight would be a blessing

  18301. I've been learning Chinese along side with English. I think it's fast to learn speaking Chinese thanks to the pinyin, which is alphabet-based, but it's more struggling for writing. You're fluent in the top three popular languages in the world including Japanese, Chinese and English. How amazing !

  18305. In March 2020 I was in Tokyo. I was on a train and a family walked in. There were 2 seats open next to me and one across from me. The mom sat across from me and the father told the 2 children to sit next to the gentleman. Now I'm a 6'3 and overweight. Yeah I stand out. I speak some Japanese but understand it a lot better than I can speak it. The 2 children, I'd guess they were about 7 and 5 years old told their father they didn't want to sit next to me. They made a scene which shocked me. I felt bad that I made them uncomfortable. I took a few deep breaths and said Konnichiwa. The kids screamed in fear and ran after their father who had gone to another compartment. Every pair of eyes in the car was on me. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.

  18306. I have walked pass Nishinari area while I stayed in a hostel nearby some years ago. I'd like to visit this one, Kotobukicho and Sanya when I'm going to Tokyo in next 2 months. Thanks a lot for revealing this interesting darker side of Japan!!😉

  18319. There is a lot less shock and surprise now at gaijin speaking Japanese than compared to my first visit to the country more than 30 years ago. My own inexpert analysis says it's a combination of seeing Japanese-speaking foreigners on TV, and the JET program, which has placed young Westerners in all corners of the country, so of whom learn to speak Japanese while they're there.

  18320. 日本語喋るのとき、日本人がもっと優しです。

They are very interesting and I am learning a lot of things, like culture but especially not to be afraid of making mistakes when talking. I studied basic Mandarin like 15 years ago for a couple years, and I have forgotten a lot of it. My main problem was always understanding spoken mandarin, ch sh zh xi all sounded the same to me, but now your videos are inspiring me to grab my old books and study again. 謝謝你！

  18352. It wasn't really like this at the school in Tokyo that I went to though...I went to KAI Japanese Language School, in Shin-Okubo. They're not all bad imo. Also, it's not only Chinese and other Asian students that go to Japanese language schools with the aim of getting a job in Japan, rather than just learning the language for fun. I'm from Norway, so very muchg a westerner, but I went to my language school with the aim of getting a job and settling down in Japan. It didn't work out in the end, but I did learn a lot of Japanese, both speaking, listening, reading and writing. I hated kanji though, so I've forgotten most of those by now. :-P On the other hand, I love speaking Japanese, so I used to go to bars and talk to random middle aged Japanese guys about all kinds of things for real life practice. Great fun.

  18353. I like to share something I've been going through for 4 years, I've been preaching five books, I believe our father in Heaven has led me to preach through dreams it all started around four years ago. I found out Paul was a false apostle and at this time I was trying to discover truths in the Bible and of Christianity ,so I was taking books out of Paul and I had a dream I heard five books, I took a couple more books affiliated with Paul like Mark,Luke and I heard also the books of Thomas and Philip in another dream,at this point I figured either Gods talking to me or its very interesting. Started to try to take out the Book of Revelations to my surprise I did ,it mentions Our Savior say he's the Morning Star which in Isaiah it says Lucifer is the Morning Star, I almost became an atheist because I was researching to get these five books, and I found out there's a lot of contradictions in the Bible ,I made a Facebook called Ticer Tice ,and it was made because of the five books ,I got Matthew ,John first John the Gospel of Thomas in the Gospel of Philip which I found out later those gospels are disciples and are Christian related and also known as Gnostic texts ,so four years ago I was just your average Christian ,now I basically am a Gnostic Christian ,I found out recently that we've been tricked ,the church was made upon conquering and killing off Gnostics and destroying Gnostic texts which they mention Bride Groom, Bridal Chamber, The Light Within, I even found out Mary Magdalene Was the most loved of disciple and the apostle to the apostles, now I know for you to hear this, you probably think I'm possessed, lying or playing around, but I can assure you I'm not, I don't ask for nothing on my Facebook, it's there for free to look at ,something interesting I met Our Father in Heaven, our Saviour two and angel Gabriel in dreams after Gathering the five books. I was even cured of fibromyalgia after wards ,it's prophesied that the word will be hidden and revealed at the end times which I think we are in now, discover to research that I have already discovered, many people already know Paul is a false apostle, there's videos about it and you can actually look at Bart Ehrman who actually is agnostic which basically he teaches about all the flaws in the Bible. So I encourage you all to take me serious, take some time to look at my page and you decide when you think you've came to your conclusion what you believe, all I know is, if it wasn't for the five books, I probably be a atheist or any other religion right now so you're actually hearing this from someone that was saved by the five books, I don't consider myself to be anybody special,and I don't care to even be acknowledged I just am trying to help everybody I can and by faith I hope I'm doing our father in Heaven will, good luck on your journey guys If these prophecies are still in play *Isaiah 28:12-13 To whom he has said this is rest give rest to the weary and this is Repose yet they would not hear therefore the word of the Lord will be to them precept upon precept precept upon precept line upon line line upon line here a little there a little they may go and fall backward and be broken ensnared and taken It was propchied the word would be in a mystery puzzle basically, but by dreams and time and help, it is here to be heard before end times, if you believe in the bible, you should take what it says as serious as you do other verses. 1*.Daniel 12:4 But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” 2.* Enoch 104.12 That books will be given to the righteous and wise and will be a source of joy and truth and much wisdom. 3.Thomas 19 (19) Jesus said: Blessed is he who was before he came into being. If you become disciples to me (and) listen to my words, these stones will minister to you. For you have five trees in Paradise which do not change, either in summer or in winter, and their leaves do not fall. He who knows them shall not taste of death. 5 Books Matthew, John , 1st John, Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Philip. 4.*Joel 2:28 28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: I had a dream , I heard 5 books, I had another dream, i heard also books Thomas and Philip. I had these dreams when taking books out of Paul because I found out and discovered he was a false apostle.. 5. *Matthew 24:14 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. By dreams given, Joel2:28, "5 books","Also books of Thomas & Philip". Book will be given Enoch 104:12. Now I know its hard to believe, even I use to struggle with it, i deleted my Facebook probably 3 times, thinking I was wrong, but I couldn't, it was to much to bare to hold something back from all because I didn't think how it could be . By the 5 books I'm saved, without them I'd be lost.its your decision to believe my testimony and I know I could go to hell and be severely punished if lying. Apocalypse of Peter, And if they say that a dream came from a demon worthy of their error, then they shall be given perdition instead of incorruption." "For evil cannot produce good fruit. For the place from which each of them is produces that which is like itself; for not every soul is of the truth, nor of immortality. For every soul of these ages has death assigned to it in our view, because it is always a slave, since it is created for its desires and their eternal destruction, in which they are and from which they are. They love the creatures of the matter which came forth with them." * The Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Philip are of our Father in Heaven and have no evilness in them. So how can a dream be evil if it points to Goodness? I met Our Father in Heaven, Our Saviour 2 times and Angel Gabriel and flew 109 times all in my dreams. Prophecies have came true in the past who's to say they are not being fulfilled now for it does seem we are at the end of days I was thinking today about Saddam and Gomorrah how come they were destroyed I believe it was because they were practicing acceptance with same-sex relationships nowadays. I believe we have that being taught in schools in social media and in songs to be a way of a choosing of life, so I believe the world is becoming like Saddam and Gomorrah so this tells me now we are indeed at the end of days. So if you believe in the Bible I think it's time you also believe what it's trying to warn about prophecy that is posed to be fulfilled. And I don't think it's right for anybody to believe in the Catholic Church having the right to take any books out because who's to say they have the right to do that in the first place. Proof Paul was a false Apostle, just some points. 1. John 1:13, John 3:5 born vs Ephesians 1:5 adopted 2. Matthew 7:21,Luke 6:46 obedience is required vs Romans 4:5-12 faith 3.Matthew 23:10 no other teacher vs 2nd Timothy 1:11 teacher 4. Matthew 19:16,19 Commandments bring life Vs Romans 7:7- 25 Commandments bring death 5.Matthew 5:17 come not to abolish the law vs Ephesians 2:15 Christ had abolished the law 6. Ezekiel 14:14,20 Job, Danielle and Noah were declared righteous vs Roman 3:10-12 none is righteous 7. John 7:22 circumcision isn't from Moses vs Galatians 5:3 those who are circumcised must keep the law 8. Matthew 28:16-20 preached to All Nations vs Galatians 2:7-9 Paul to preach to circumcised 9. Matthew 28:19 baptized All Nations vs 1st Corinthians 1:17 Paul wasn't sent to baptized 10. Matthew 6:5-6 pray in secret vs 1st Timothy 2:8 pray everywhere 11. Matthew 22:32 God of the living vs Romans 14:9 lord of the dead and living Anyone can understand this basically 🤷🏼 Matthew 7:22-23 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Sounds like Paul's false vision Ezekiel 13:6-10 6 Their visions are false, and their predictions are lies. They claim that they are speaking my message, but I have not sent them. Yet they expect their words to come true! 7 I tell them: Those visions you see are false, and the predictions you make are lies. You say that they are my words, but I haven't spoken to you!" 8 So the Sovereign Lord says to them, "Your words are false, and your visions are lies. I am against you. 9 I am about to punish you prophets who have false visions and make misleading predictions. You will not be there when my people gather to make decisions; your names will not be included in the list of the citizens of Israel; you will never return to your land. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord. 10 "The prophets mislead my people by saying that all is well. All is certainly not well! My people have put up a wall of loose stones, and then the prophets have come and covered it with whitewash. Proverbs 14:15 The simple believeth every word; But the prudent man looketh well to his going. Amos 5:13 Therefore, the prudent man, at that time, will be dumb, - Because an evil time, it is! Matthew 7:24 Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; Matthew 7:26 And anyone who listens to my words and does not practice their teaching, will be like an imprudent man who built his house on sand.

  18360. I see two of the Chinese person you spoke to that couldn’t speak Japanese. I think it is because they are in the Chinese community in Japan. If they are in a different community where these are no Chinese people, I think their Japanese will be naturally better since will have to learn to communicate.

  18365. I used to work for IHI (石川島播磨重工業) as a research intern from 1997 to 1998 up in Toyosu, Tokyo before the main HQ moved. Being a really traditional heavy industry company, I made so many mistakes despite the extensive cultural acclimatization training I had. Luckily they were somewhat understanding and would correct me everytime I screwed up. The daily commute was brutal though...90 minutes each way from Kinuna with 3 train line changes. It was a great experience learning and using technical/formal Japanese and for the first 6 months, I was the only foreign intern so I kinda got some special treatment 🤣. It was definitely harder after the others arrived because I simply got lumped into the group and it became much more difficult to distinguish myself. Still, it was a great experience

  18368. Why are ppl acting like little freaking kids! If you dont like, dont watch! I mean, does that really need to be said to grown adults!!? Everyone has a hustle, and for some ppl its language learning. I dont see the problem

  18369. Love the background music.. who made it?

  18370. It's easy to fall to the predation of "gurus." It is my opinion that even the Beatles were scammed by a guru. "Gurus" are usually out for profit and YOU are the mark. People want answers and shortcuts and that makes them vulnerable. "Gurus" who aren't charlatans often fail to bring up the fact they have natural talent and have put countless hours into it. Even having had the benefit of being immersed in the language in it's natural setting can put someone far ahead in language development speed and skill level

  18371. I had read that Japan with an aging population and economic issues, has a homeless problem and many other underlying issue for the people who are not college educated. I think it’s good to show it and acknowledge the issues out there. This exists in most all countries including here in the US. A few years ago I was on a business trip to the companies office in Mexico City, we saw large modern condos or homes and not far away were shanty homes.

  18372. What you have achieved is a super power. Full credit for all the hard work. ❤

  18373. This videos fire

  18374. why is it a bad thing if they do that? they are shocked because you speak it perfectly and they assume you speak another language perfectly too, or multiple ones. you should be honored getting that look, they aknowledge it's kinda hard

  18381. You two are great together.
    2
  18382. I ve always heard Japan is crowded..your videos have shown, if you choose the right time..it s not bad.. The J/Gov t should pay you for increasing tourism..
    2
  18383. I learned to like natto but I wont try raw chicken which is a popular yakitori. Can't go there.
    2
  18384. What you say it is so true. Once you cross that line, most Japanese don't even react to you speaking Japanese. You get way more reactions than I do. Most Japanese don't even use English with me.
    2
  18385. I really like your videos BUT I would like to hear about working culture in Japan in general. I only know that the suicide rate is extremely high because of the pressure. I understand that you want positive content but that would be interesting to hear from a not japanese person.
    2
  18386. Wow. I'm also happy to see you guys received your Holy Matrimony Sacrament. Congratulations to both of you. God bless you with love, health and happiness❤️🌷😊🕺🙏🙏🙏
    2
  18387. You do brilliant job keeping us smiling...been in isolation and lock down no fun believe me. But watching your vlog gives us hope. Keep smiling and laughing and we make it through this difficult time. My prayers are with your family back in the USA and you. Please take care and be safe. ❤️🇬🇧

  18388. wow, kiyomizu was closed in 2016? Glad I did not go to Kyoto that year. 　Nagoya has a very large flea market twice per month. (名古屋骨董市）Even in the Machida City flea market I bought some very old wood block prints for cheap price. For unusual short trip in Tokyo try 神保町駅の近くにある江戸時代本屋 there are many antique Japanese book stores in this area. Jimbocho Tokyo. I bought some Meiji era books from some of the stores, including an old magazine from the 1920's. Another place to visit I thought was neat, 川崎市立日本民家園 Traditional Japanese Houses near Odakyu Line next to Noborito station in Kawasaki City near Tokyo . Some houses are 300-400 years old.

  18389. You speak Japanese well

  18393. You may get 25% off in Japanese learning after you passed HSK, but not vice versa😂
    2
  18394. I got skeptical of these youtube polyglots once I heard some of them speaking portuguese (my mother tongue). I thought: if they speak portuguese this badly, how bad are they speaking the other languages they also claim to be fluent? You know, the ones I can not judge. It really made me think.
    2
  18395. This is exactly what I was thinking. I can string together some keigo (formal) Japanese up to about middle school level, and I know a bunch of nouns, so I can understand a lot of what is seen in shonen anime or manga. Yet, if I listen to things a japanese baby says casually, my brain just explodes sometimes because I am so limited. The fact that most of these "polyglots" cant even speak Japanese as good as I can, it's just false advertising. A big indicator for Japanese skill is whether or not people use the right counting category when they are talking about physical objects, because that is legit depth and even I cant remember any of that shit
    2
  18396. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your ongoing preparedness carrying that Go-pro on ya all the time.

  18397. Day 4 of watching this vid again I Swear , The More i watch this video the more you look hotter
    2
  18398. This was educational. I don't want to go through life in a bubble / rosy-colored glasses. Thank you. 👍🏻
    2
  18399. You almost need a patreon to pay for the food and travel you do for these videos lol. Keep it up and thank you, I enjoy every video you upload.
    2
  18400. You should do a prank where you hide the fact that you aren't asian with a full face mask or something and speak chinese. See their reaction when you take it off
    2
  18401. Hope that YouTube monetizes your video. We appreciate all your effort to share content !!
    2
  18402. everytime you say "eeeeeEeeeee" in was like 🥰🥰
    2
  18403. Someday, when I go to Japan, and eagerly rise from my bed and head to Chinatown for some tea and egg tarts, only to be disappointed and told that the egg tarts have all been sold -- I'll know Anming was here.
    2
  18404. What a nice lad!!
    2
  18405. I love how people see the foreigner in Japan and speaks there language I wish I can go to japan
    2
  18406. I am so impressed by how clearly and confidently Anming speaks both Chinese and Japanese! The majority of polyglots just babble some words, she instead produces very clear and precise sentences. I can't say whether this is due to her natural talent or the fact that she had a proper education. For my case a formal education was crucial: I can speak German confidently like Anming speaks Chinese, since I learned it at school, conversely I just babble when speaking English, since I have learned it in my daily life.
    2
  18407. Your chinese is perfect :) very impressed!
    2
  18408. Yes, it truly is awesome. And amazing. And fun to watch the reactions. She said she wasn't giving you free food because of your Chinese, it was because you're cute. You're getting compliments from every direction. When I subscribed a couple months ago, you had less than ten thousand subscribers. Now look. I can't wait until you hit that 100,000 mark (and you will).
    2
  18409. Japanese neighbours can be really nice, sometimes difficult if you do something wrong but if you know how to behave in your local area you quickly get along with everyone. Some of my current neighbours were a bit wary of a foreign couple moving in but once we settled in and started greeting people they quickly began talking to us regularly. There is often a perception that you won't understand the way of life or will cause problems but when people realise you know how to do things, are willing to participate in neighbourhood life and be polite they quickly warm up to you.
    2
  18410. Glad you're okay, take care 🙏
    2
  18411. art never asks where you are from, as long as you respect it, don't care about other people saying negative things to us maybe they are just jealous
    2
  18412. Yeah!!! Anming found her favorite “Portuguese Egg Tarts”. Lovely 😊 and you look so happy during these EPIC Interactions that are wonderfully recorded for future review, This episode was edited perfectly. 👌🏽 Thanks for posting and sharing your amazing experiences. 🙇🏻‍♀️🔍🌏👸🏻😉👏🏽

  18427. As a 13 year-old who has self-studied Japanese for about half a year and wants to live in Japan when im older, you're a really big inspiration to me. Your video's make me happy and I just wanted to tell you that ^^

  18428. So if it’s a Cafe do they also serve snake? Lol. 🐍

  18429. I always doubt when someone says that they speak more than 10 languages. What does it really mean to "speak" the language? It probably depends on everyone's point of view but for me, "speaking the language" is being able to communicate pretty fluently with other people on any topic which doesn't require specialistic knowledge, with pretty good grammar. It would be like B2 level. If I'm able only to make dialogues about stuff like weather, food or making a slow talk, then it's too early to claim that I'm speaking the language. I'm actually the language purist and for me it's more important to focus on 2-3 languages and really master them, than learning everything on A1/A2 level and "showing off" that I know so many languages. Tbh I think this kind of claims are rather discouraging people than encouraging. It suggest that there are "talented" people and "not talented". Like, "if someone can speak this amount of languages, and I can't dominate even 1 of them, then maybe it's a waste of time". I know plenty of people who don't even try to learn languages because they think they are "not talented". And that's the worse what you can think. Learning a language is nothing but putting a lot of effort, practising and learning regularly. By these kind of claims, people think that to "talented" people it comes easily and fastly. By the way, if you think you are not making progress anymore, don't give up! It's totally natural to think like that at some point of your learning. If you are learning on your own and you have problems -> consider having private classes. If you don't understand grammar -> don't hesitate asking your teacher or if they can't explain it to you well, consider changing them. If you feel you can understand the language but can't speak well -> try speaking to your own in that language and describe your everyday routine. If you feel you lose the motivation -> try finding a friend! there are a lot of internet sites in which you can find people from all over the world. Nothing encourages more to learn the language than the need of practical use and will to impress or simply communicate with a person who you find close. Also I want to say that even if it's A1/A2 level, being able to say something in 29 languages is really impressive and I don't want to downplay Wouter's accomplishments. My point was to distinguish some stuff.

  18430. Pearl, I just turned 46 on Tuesday and if I saw R2 ANYWHERE like that, then I would squeal like a 🤚🏻☝🏻 year old little boy and fanboy so hard! Edit: And the younglings flock …

  18432. Started learning Norwegian half a year ago but I have no one to talk to, so it‘s hard to practice spoken Norwegian. Ist quite easy to read for me, but native speaker tend to speak so fast so I wish I had someone that could talk to me just a bit slower so I could understand it and practice :(

  18433. 豆沙包子很不错啊 是自己做的吗

  18434. It's always good to see oriental pearl do things live. You will always be awesome to me. Muah to you always. Much love towards you.😘🙂
    2
  18435. This was one of the first of your videos that I've seen. I feel the same as I did then: you have fun with people by surprising them by speaking their language, without making fun of them. Only now, I also appreciate your interviews with interesting people. You are very good at conversing with people, even with creepy guys most women would stay away from (that one was funny, although if you were my daughter, I would have been concerned).

  18438. When you go to Malaysia, you dont need to learn the national language cos most people speak english there. even if you say some words in their national language, nobody there is going to be impressed by you. Use English all the time in Malaysia and you will be fine.
    2
  18439. Ok question - Japanese and Chinese can be written in both our alphabet as well as kanji? Do the native Chinese and Japanese students growing up always learn how to write out kanji? Like can all of the population write it? or is it something special you have to learn. Are all the books, newspapers and anything else written always in kanji? Or do they use our alphabet as well.
    2
  18440. There is a reason people like Japan

  18446. Do you notice things like being followed without having it recorded, or either way recorded/not? I only really pay attention when a car in front of or behind me is going down the same path as me for a long stretch of a commute- but I don't pay attention to the same thing when I'm walking around.

  18447. I hope that Mr. Suzuki fulfills his dream of traveling down Route 66. I see he began his first journey at the famous Bagdad Cafe 👍. When everything returns to normal, hopefully soon, will he need sponsors to help him fulfill his quest? Does he have his own YouTube channel? Is there footage of his first trip?

  18449. Hello dear, hope you had a good weekend, thought or today tomorrow and beyond. The effects of kindness are not always seen immediately. Sometimes it takes years until your kindness will pay off. And is returned to you. And sometimes you never see the fruits of your labors. But they are there, deep inside of the soul of the one you touched. ~ Dan Kelly

These are golden, highly entertaining and you have a permanent smile on your face thank you!! It is a good format!! In saying that there's is an entertaining pink bear in Korea called Bellygom, really cracks me up!!

  18457. There's such a huge Chinese population where I live. I'd love to learn Chinese. Love your videos!
    2
  18458. How do you manage to hear and understand everything they say? Like your listening comprehension is superb!!!
    2
  18459. I've been following your videos for some weeks and was wondering what kind of job you're doing? Seems like you have a lot of free time haha

  18469. I want to thank you for putting a spotlight on homeless people. You’ve done several videos on this subject, and I think it offers an important service to any society to bring attention to the worst off. You are on the good path ❤😊很感谢你

  18470. i actually started using Hello Talk a couple of weeks ago thanks to you! it's sooooo useful!

  18471. That is some nice content. Don´t focus so much on the negative comments of "woke" people who have an issue or agenda with everything. Keep up the good work.

  18475. Congratulations 🎊, on your new apartment!! Also, starting off living in a share house is not bad cause when you’re moving into an apartment most people forget to factor in the furniture. Furniture is also important when moving into an apartment too.
    2
  18476. I love your content! These interview videos are fascinating. I would like to request something. Since you interact so much with Chinese diaspora in Japan, I would love to see an interview video of you asking Chinese immigrants in Japan what cultural difference they perceive beyond superficial simply language and aesthetic differences.
    2
  18477. Oh I cried Im so happy for you both you looked glowing and beyond beautiful I wish you the happiest life ever

  18486. i really love your channel, greetings from flanders, belgium

  18487. First time on your channel, I'm bilingual (English and Korean) and this video really motivated me to learn Chinese and Japanese~ I admire you, Big props! Now wanna see you go ham on Korean which you will easily nail it lol. Subscribed & interested to see you in the near future :)
    2
  18488. Another great video / documentary. Great research , great eye on the spot. Statue of Liberty Graffiti at 5:30. You are rightfully cautious accessing the situation with some risk. You were rewarded for your risk. Its not surprising though. Japan's economy is very economic driven by tourism; especially for people short on work or money. To be honest, drugs are the main killer for the USA and other countries right now. Very appreciative of your videos.
    2
  18489. So cool that you happened upon another ex-pat on your trip! Awesome tips, thanks, Anming! You'll find Korean so easy to learn, as it's nearly one-to-one with Japanese in every way.
    2
  18490. I've been to where you talk with the girls in the intro it's a crepe shop aaaaaaa
    2
  18491. Funny that the majority of the people who are calling her and other people out are not involved.
    2
  18492. Probably it just because of the different cultures shock, as an 100% chinese, I already tired of everything here. I have been lived in USA a couple months and I really wanna moved back for work or start a business something, I like everything of there!!
    2
  18493. I think you went into a school that was not suited for your needs. Of course you have paid, but it is still a school with its own rules and rules have to be applied nonetheless, no exception. I enjoyed your video and there are as many different teachers as different teaching methods. I also work as a teacher and to be honest I really hate that teaching method she uses but this method is working very well on some type of people, just not everyone. However, in my experience, when teachers in Japan are teaching this way, yo can understand why many students just give up on learning English. Edit I forgot to mention that many "language schools" are business made. Some teachers have to get results to get more students and more subsidiaries. Especially in big cities, smaller towns and countryside schools are sooooo much down to earth and friendlier. Wish you the best!
    2
  18494. Great video, very interesting, keep them coming
    2
  18495. Hmmm... I don't rly learn any language but i rly love your videos! Speaking other languages can open so many doors! Would love to life in japan as well and speak japanese language as good as you do i'm in love with so many japanese stuff since my very early day's! But somehow i'm too scared of leave my country... :( You very good anming and your videos are so much fun to watch! P.S.: I also subscribed to your channel. :) Best regards!

  18499. It’s always refreshing to see your videos! Keep up the great work!!
    2
  18500. Watching your videos makes me want to get better at chinese! I was born in america but my parents are from the northeast so hearing you say chinese with the northeastern dialect is really conforting to me :)
    2
  18501. I feel this is the same with people who only speak 2 additional languages. I think people who only know their native language and are beginners in another are just amazed that there are people who can speak WELL (all in the pronunciation) and aren't from said country. That being said, I want to be a polyglot because there are many languages that I adore and desire to be fluent in. Korean is the one I feel MOST comfortable with, though I can't do in-depth studies right now due to my jobs demand of Arabic. Arabic is a beautiful jumble of dialects as I like to say but I find it harder than Korean (I probably know more Arabic than Korean atm tho lmao). I studied Japanese for a little but forgot almost all of it. I plan to become fluent(ish) in these languages then move on to the next (Chinese, German, Spanish). As mentioned in the video, you should learn a language because you WANT to, not just because you want to learn a few phrases to make YouTube videos. It is unbelievably hard to learn/stick with a language when it's forced 😂
    2
  18502. Herzlichen Glückwunsch :) Wow your husband's family looks so humble! <3

  18503. I think I’m in love

  18505. The gentleman with the black mask playing with the spinning stones could not help himself he was obviously feeling your warmth and light and felt the need to show some hospitality be it in a childish yet loving fashion , I felt that was actually very sweet, he had kept silent for quite some time and then spun you a stone and placed it in your hand.
    2
  18506. Wow, you are an interesting person. I would like to hear more of your story. Keep up the great content.
    2
  18507. The sound effects! LOL

  18510. I get excited every time you upload a video :D I can't wait to go to Japan. Have you heard when they will open their doors for tourism again by any chance? I read that in April ir might happen but I'm not sure.

  18511. Can’t wait for the next parts

  18515. How could anyone think that someone speaking a second language (somewhat poorly) is stupid? I hear that from time to time unfortunately. These people obviously have already mastered at least one language and moved onto another one! That's smart! =p
    2
  18516. One and a half years on. This still makes me chuckle!
    2
  18517. Ahhh I loveeee these videos so much!! I died when they told you to go the wrong way 😂💀
    2
  18518. Beautifull. Mooi(Dutch). Bonita(Spanish). Bunita(Papiamento). Moi(Surinam). That's beautiful in 5 languages I know. Many blessings to you. I have been a fan of your channel for years. You guys are AWESOME. ❤🇳🇱🇦🇼🇸🇷

  18519. Hello, I greet Japan from IRAN. I love Japan, I hope one day I can travel to it and get to know its people and culture better. I also love your anime and manga, love from Iran ❤️💙🇮🇷🇯🇵

  18520. I like very much okinawa

  18521. That was fun! At first I thought Yusuke was from the US. He sounded like he was from California....LOL. Emi is so cute! Hope to see more of her.
    2
  18522. What a fantastic life experience :) Thanks for showing us parts of your life. I love these vlogs <3
    2
  18523. Nice Video... love that thrift store... we have Savers in New York and there are such good deals there as I imagine you find also... Keep those videos coming and be safe....
    2
  18524. Things are better now in China, my daughter is 四年学生 and this week they cameback school. I hope you can comeback soon... And when you look to the airplanes was funny for me 'cause I do the same, yesterday saw a lot coming again xD please, eat well 加油加油！
    2
  18525. Thanks for the reminder, I have been watching for a few months now but forgot to subscribe. My bad, now corrected. Keep up the good work!
    2
  18526. Just curious, is there some connection between Japanese, Chinese and Korean? What I mean by that is is it easier to learn one over the others then transition to learning the others after having a solid foundation in one? Also could you give more detail on how difficult it is to learn the written language (i.e. how long it took to grasp and how it helped with learning to speak). I would be learning for fun. I watch a lot of anime and Korean Dramas and would love to not need the english subtitles (would also be fun to know another language). I'm just not sure which (Korean or Japanese) to learn.
    2
  18527. I would love to sit with these two guys at the snack stall, and just chat to them. I think they could have some great stories.
    2
  18528. ❤Thank you and your Japanese family for keeping it real! Hoping to see more of you all together.
    2
  18529. Wtf is wrong with people? Identity crisis... Weebo? So you're bad for learning their culture, and respecting it? It doesn't make any sense.
    2
  18530. Thank Anming for this video. I love seeing you debating with other people
    2
  18531. Hi Anming, quick Japanese learning question for you - my current situation only allows me to practice Japanese once a weekend over a zoom call with Japanese friends. During the weekdays to practice for these weekend speaking sessions, do you think it is more effective to write down what I will say, memorize it, and practice saying it to sound more natural? Or rather practice it more organically each day by saying what comes to mind at that time? Great video as always and thanks for any response!
    2
  18532. I live for her to flip from two conversations in Japanese and Chinese then back.
    2
  18533. You’re awesome! How you can switch from one language to another so smoothly. Question: Which language is your favorite?
    2
  18534. Keep it up!
    2
  18535. When I was there, I refused the rickshaw ride because it felt inhumane to have someone carry you around like that this day and age. Your video changed my mind on that and, if I do get a chance to visit Japan again after the virus, I would buy a ride from them for sure. Thx Anming!
    2
  18536. English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean…..WOW…..what’s next? 😮 Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
    2
  18537. I am French and I am trying to be fluent in English and I watch your videos, speaking 3 languages ! That’s amazing ! I’d like to learn Spanish and Japenese in the future.
    2
  18538. These areas are really beautiful especially for an artist that draws backgrounds and stuff, thanks once again for the amazing content
    2
  18539. My dream to go to japan 🤩🤩
    2
  18540. A Japanese taxi driver in Osaka could speak Mandarin.
    2
  18541. I've just discovered your channel and I love your interactions with Asian people, you speak as fluently as native people I daresay. I'm an Italian guy, half Iranian and half Chinese: I know some conversational Chinese because mom taught me but not at your level because I didn't actually take any courses. I can understand 80-90% of what you're saying which is fine but not good enough. Your videos have motivated me to go back to my old Chinese exercise books and have some practice again. Thanks for the enthusiasm you put in your videos, you've just got a subscriber!
    2
  18542. Omg!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! おめでとう！！！
    2
  18543. Great stuff! :)

  18544. All the western negative feedback is only from all the "jealous" ... And the gaijin who can't speak Japanese .. let em stay mad 🔥💯... These girls are awesome ... #sugoigang #ebisuapproved :)

  18545. From personal experience in mainland China they stare hard. South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan was not as bad for me. annyeonghaseyo
    2
  18546. You’re so brave to do the sky diving, no wonder you can travel across the globe to study something you are passionate about; Chinese and Japanese language. Looking at the clip showing the University premises, I just find you a very lucky person to have the chance to experience university life, not everyone has the same opportunity, I am envious of you. 😊
    2
  18547. Nice one Ann always good to have funny conversations.
    2
  18548. There was a "woo" sound, like a horror movie
    2
  18549. The red hair throw me off but she is a wonderful person Enjoy the interview

  18552. when you said "YAKUZA <3" :D im always amazed by your videos!
    2
  18553. Strange, I had been a Patreon supporter, but then my Oriental Pearl account just disappeared. I fixed that early this morning. Nice video. Will you be interviewing Japanese farmers and fishermen?
    2
  18554. Everything is simply, SPOTLESS!!!!! New York...long way to go!!!!!!! Just saying it, as an observation!
    2
  18555. I can see why you married him. He is a Genuine good happy gentleman.
    2
  18556. Your growing in confidence every day
    2
  18557. Anming, watching your previous videos i got the idea that you study very hard to speak Chinese and Japanese, I'm assuming you are a little bit different than the polygots that you are talking about.
    2
  18558. Hi I love you 👑💗
    2
  18559. Been searching videos regarding Americans speaking Japanese, and results brought me to your channel. What a wonderful content you have! And yes, you have a good speaking skills there! I wish I could learn japanese too. Oh BTW, you gained my subs! I'm your new follower! Stay cool there, and of course, stay safe! Greetings from the Philippines! 😃
    2
  18560. Its true ... sometimes when they try speaking spanish, portugués, italian or french its so evident and annoying 😖
    2
  18561. Great video!!!

  18563. My 3 years in Japan… I never got super fluent… but I was able to have decent enough conversations… Easily impressed, and they love it. I even got the opportunity to teach some English and German.
    2
  18564. that genuinely looks like a nice place to live
    2
  18565. Great video, loved the content & the interview. I’m bilingual (Spanish & English) & I’ve been to Japan (which I love) to perform my music. I met beautiful people over there, & would love to return one day. Keep up the great work on your videos, I like the diversity you’re showing now. Cheers!

  18568. I can not tell you how often I come back to your videos and I just freaking love them. Thank you.
    2
  18569. Thank you so much for making this video!
    2
  18570. From what I know it's the same in other Asian countries like Korea or Vietnam. They seem to think that foreigners who can speak their language is some kind of anomaly of nature...
    2
  18571. 日本在这方面和中国很像，我觉得有点虚伪，安明看得懂中国古诗词吗？
    2
  18572. Personally not a fan of his approach but I also have met a lot of women who say they like men who are confident enough to approach them if they like them. Ive heard women complain even sometimes that a guy they know likes them is too shy and wont initiate a conversation with them. Its tough lol. Unfortunately it seems we gotta play some crazy balancing act in hopes not to offend someone when the intentions are simple and harmless, guy finds girl attractive, asks her out to get to know her and see if he will find her personality to match. Maybe some of you females out there have some insight to shed on a confused guy lol
    2
  18573. having a similar situation myself at the moment. I had to marry my wife via proxy due to the border closures, we used to live together in Canada. I moved back to the UK and she was going to visit in 2020, but corona happened. As a result we have been separated for multiple years due to the border closure. We got married via proxy for now, and we are going to hold a ceremony when the borders are back open so the family can come out to Japan. It really is a difficult time but, we can push through it.
    2
  18574. People that dislike your videos are MISERABLE and choose NOT to be happy in life. I am miserable but I love making people happy and seeing people happy, like you!! Love your videos!!
    2
  18575. Learning Cantonese, I CONSTANTLY stutter or repeat myself. It is indicative of my low level. Lacking confidence in grammar or pronunciation. You can observe this in others on Youtube who...."speak fluently". 😉
    2
  18576. What an amazing, intelligent and interesting young woman your are! I stumbled across your video and I was hooked. I’ve just subscribed. Thank you 😊
    2
  18577. OMG I heard the cicadas and immediately thought of all the anime I watch. LMAO. Also what a great video showing all the culture in Japan. However it saddens me that there is so much graffiti on the public streets there.
    2
  18578. Dumpling QUEEN! Frozen ready-made meals are my type of cooking! One-pot recipes or throwing it in the oven flipping once and done! Easy-Peasy. I do enjoy baking myself though... unfortunately now everybody is buying up all the flour in Canada so I have to make do with what I have left! The high-speed voices near the end had me thinking of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
    2
  18579. The stalkers are probably cult followers looking for victims. Just ignore them and you'll be fine.

  18582. I never tire of your videos! 💖

    2
  18590. Youve been holding out on us! "Nanpa"! i remember those two old dudes! LOL This one was fairly cringy, but i enjoyed it! :)
    2
  18591. Is driving there (china/ Japan) any different from driving in other places (like America?) Also another question. Have you ever seen a foreigner,from let's say a English speaking country, being lost or having you ever helped them?
    2
  18592. Wow, your trip looks like so much fun! Thank you for answering the questions! I had some of the same one's. I would like it if you introduce some (or all) of your roommates.😊 Thank you!
    2
  18593. @Oriental Pearl Yeah I was disappointed to hear you say the castle was the only thing to see! Glad to see you clear this up. Sending you well wishes from Canada!
    2
  18594. Japan looks like a lovely place to visit. The older wooden buildings are lovely. Prefer them to tower blocks and skyscraper
    2
  18595. Love that your mom was down for that too lol. I know it could get pretty crazy
    2
  18596. Hallows eve in shibuya looks fun

  18598. Hi Tommy! Don't show your money like this! Behind you. The can see everything! And have fun! ✌️😁
    2
  18599. Anming, you are popular because of your authenticity and individuality - humble people recognize that. You are trained in marketing and specialize in these languages and cultures, and you worked hard and deserve every reward. Those are your individual accomplishments, and you're just beginning. Everyone in your videos seems quite unique and different from the next. I think most westerners are humble and special. It's amazing how quickly a smile and hello begets a smile and hello. Maybe you were just having a lively conversation with the sweet lady taking your order, but she did not seem to agree with your stereotyping of westerners😊. Anyhoo, thanks for sharing - very entertaining and enlightening.
    2
  18600. dang them puppets are going at it. THAT'S how you get cooties
    2

    2
  18604. Such a cute family 😍
    2
  18605. This is so cute! It seems like Tommy is right at home in America and enjoying the new experiences. Also, as an American, I shot a gun for the first time recently too so this was relatable. 🤣 I also had one of the shells hit my arm!
    2
  18606. I'm early! :D Yay!

  18611. The woman who said she was 73/72 years of age actually looks young, (in my opinion) she looks like she might be in her 40’s or 50’s (not trying to sound rude, I mean this in a positive way ☺️)
    2
  18612. I'm subbed to Matt, too! This is great! ❤ I want to learn languages because I actually enjoy it. It's fun for me. I just wish I had more time in the day. Great video!

  18613. I want to try that bubble tea right now! 🥤
    2
  18614. You are amazing I only could wish to learn as many languages...I have watched several of your videos and am amazed how easily you go from to the other languages
    2
  18615. These are fun to watch. I would love to learn Japanese and Chinese. Though first I am working on French. Going to visit some distant cousins in my grandparents native country and hoping to be able to carry a conversation in French. 😁
    2
  18616. I love your videos and how you interact with the local people, but I really love when you speak their language and the surprised look on their face.
    2
  18617. You know you actually made me go through with my goal of learning Japanese so I’m starting my lessons soon! 😊
    2
  18618. You're so right. This is how our grandparents met. Today boys are so shy to talk to girls.
    2
  18619. Congratulations on all your success! Your new place is stunning and definitely deserved after seeing your share house room, wow!
    2
  18620. So fascinating! Thanks so much. ❤️
    2
  18621. congratulations 🎊
    2
  18622. Hello Anming, You have one large advantage (fortunately). You are very out going and inviting in your ways when you meet strangers. Not everyone can do that. So are you celebrating your 10 year aniversary with this video or is there a big celebration coming up? Looking forward to the next vist. Take care and hello to Tommy. 👋👋
    2
  18623. I have been following Lisa and her band on Instagram for some years now, she's hella cool!

  18624. I don't mean to belittle your visa struggles but as someone who travels on an Indian passport, trust me, you have no idea what visa problems mean 🙈
    2
  18625. Those guys could play. You're spoiling us, dear Anming.

  18631. Well, shit! I feel like I can pronounce most of these pretty well, and now I kind of feel obligated to learn some mandarin???
    2
  18632. Congratulations! You two have a very sweet and cool relationship. Thank you for sharing your special day with us! Loved both of your dresses, and Tommy did look dapper in his suit.

    2
  18635. A good one
    2
  18636. I'm a fan of both! But I'd say personally I'm drawn more towards the longer ones.
    2
  18637. We want more 😊 The 30 minute video would be just right for me. Some videos I can only stand 5 minutes, but the type of videos you do are entertaining and educational, so I tend to get into it more and want to see what's next. Always good videos BTW
    2
  18638. Oriental Pearl another good vid Anming. Any length of video is okay.
    2
  18639. The longer the better, I’ll even play all the adverts if it helps you/your channel. Live long, keep posting and prosper! 🖖🦄💐
    2
  18640. For me, the longer the better. I always let all the ads run. In fact, I've watched many of the videos several times. Everyday, getting closer to 100,000 subscribers. I got on board at about 2000......

    2
  18661. Melissa R same here from Vancouver Canada. I agree with everything you said.
    2
  18662. I doubt you will see my comment but I love your videos and also xiaomainyc, you have every right to make any title you want for your videos you are investing in to entertain us all. this is business, if someone puts white guy shocks blah, white girl shocks blah, who cares, we love to see the shock on everyone's face and I'm sure you enjoy surprising people, otherwise you would be doing something you hate, which makes no sense. I am glad that you said before youtube that it was frustrating at times, but that is your problem for living in the place you want to live. But it is great that you bring a positive from that, by doing youtube videos. You have an audience that majority love you, great person and entertaining content. Most recently the video i watched "I heard what you said", was very interesting to watch, I think it would have been good to include any comments you caught about the negative you hear, bringing impartial content, but to bring a long comment to an end. It does not matter if you are jesus himself, SOMEONE in the world will find SOMETHING to complain about. Because of you and Xiaomainyc, I am inspired even MORE to learn languages. I say "even more" because I have learnt a basic in a few so far, but I love seeing your interaction with people and I would love to have that. These sensitive little...., need to stop being so fragile or stop looking for attention or clout from other people. Nobody cares, everyone loves drama, drama sells, drama makes money, but your lives are still gonna be sad and pathetic because the foundation of your life is DRAMA. Thank you :P
    2
  18663. Saw your video with nomad push love the video keep up the great work and content
    2
  18664. She can be a good English teacher
    2
  18665. I love your videos! I'm studying English and Chinese, so you help me a lot. 7:40 She said 「じゃあ、元々中国語分からないで、行った？」 Actually, this means 'When you went to China, had you never studied Chinese?'
    2
  18666. I will correct you when you said no self teaching literally as a little boy I made my own and I shot my own and nobody supervised me nobody was even home to supervise me I made my own weapons and I used them very well and not everybody can be self-taught but some of us were gifted.

  18680. I'm sorry to know that you almost got scammed. It's great that figured it out and didn't fall for it. I've been watching a lot of videos about Japan and most of it are from a tourist perspective. They give this vibe about Japan as a perfect place to live and on the other extreme, a place that is not friendly to foreigners. I would just like to know if as a foreigner, do you see yourself living in Japan long term? What's the biggest culture shock you experienced in Japan? Also, what's the best and worst thing about Japan? I like the positivity and authenticity of your content so I thought you'd be able to give more realistic answers to those questions. Thanks.

  18681. How come you have to go shopping so often is it because you can only buy a certain amount of items ?
    2
  18682. Haha true. Made your own itinerary is the best. If you can tag like 2-4 friends along it will be better. Find your own stay is more fun with airbnb. Hahahaha. Lastly you look exactly like Taylor Swift there. Dang. I had never seen your old looks b4 yet.😂🤣🤭👻

A lot of us live vicariously through you and other like you documenting your life for others to enjoy and learn from. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into recording, editing and adding subtitles!

  18701. Anming is right! I refused to date a Chinese man because I don't want to deal with their mothers! But, I recall in one of the videos that Anming said she started Chinese because of a boy! Can you tell us that story?

  18702. Wow 2 videos in one day Love it Stay safe!!!!:)

    2
  18706. I've watched videos on YouTube of people speaking in languages other than their native tongue, and it always amazes me how that helps break the ice and how ready people are to teach and converse their languages... from asian languages, european languages, african languages, etc..

  18707. oooo that okonomoyaki from the place in korean chinatown (lmao) looks so good whaaaat

  18709. Curious question. Was the "eh?" scene a one take or did you pick one out of many?
    2
  18710. 很多國家都解禁了....日本還不能出境嗎? 還是有其他原因還待在日本? 你日後回到中國還會繼續拍片嗎?

  18711. I love the way you dress so much!!☺️☺️☺️

  18714. This year I cooked some Japanese dishes for my family since they're not so familiar with Japanese food and I wanted to try out new dishes. We had Onigiri, Toshikoshi Soba and Dango for New Years Eve! I loved the soba but the taste of dango is something I need to get used to. Not bad but strange. 😅 Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪
    2
  18715. This is a good progression for your channel! Videos that are a mix of J Vlogging and language learning are great for you. Don't be afraid to do normal J Vlogs as well!
    2
  18716. 天呐！姐姐你太优秀了！收下我的膝盖！I'm really shocked that you speak native Chinese and Japanese.I hope I can become you in the future！

  18717. This was a really cool video! It was also super cool how the girl ran over and returned your wallet! This video has lowkey motivated me to brush up on my Mandarin, I'm not going to lie!

  18718. 1:47 - Did your stepfather really say that? P.S. I'm from Wellington, New Zealand - we laugh at the Chicago claim to be the windy city.

  18719. You are speaking Japanese in 100% Japanese tone.

  18724. Congratulations! Your ceremony and ongoing celebrations were lovely. That blue dress is killer! Suit's pretty sharp, too (in case Tommy feels left out).
    2
  18725. @Oriental Pearl I love to collaborate with you i never speak Japan language if it all right to teach me
    2
  18726. Personally I think you are conflating fluency with literacy. It is very possible for one to be fluent in a language and be illiterate in that language and not be able to have college level discussions even if that is your native language. I grew up speaking three languages but I’m literate in only one mostly because the other two languages are native languages and all my education was in English. I think the key is to know what your goals are and therefore what level of fluency or literacy you’re looking for. If all you want to be able to do is have small talk with people then that’s a goal, if you want to have deep intellectual conversations that’s a separate goal and no one goal is ether than the other IMHO
    2
  18727. She's amazing!

  18728. Lisa is a darling inspiration despite her disability!

  18729. I have been watching your channel for a while now. You are a lovely person and Tommy seems so sweet. I'm Canadian in BC on Vancouver Island. I grew up in South Vancouver and Richmond till my 20s. I love culture immensely. I'm 57 and I vicariously live through your experiences because I would have loved to do what you've accomplished. I still know a few phrases from childhood but I know that if I was immersed in the country, I would learn quickly. I will continue to watch your adventures and enjoy them very much. 🥰

  18734. Aww I was so happy to see my friend Tokyo Drew!!!!! He’s such a wonderful person!!!! ❤❤❤❤ loved your new place!! It’s beautiful!!
    2
  18735. Glad that somebody points this out. Too many people seem to overestimate the use of learning apps without using them properly. Had some english, german, japanese meetups which were truly eye openers on how to learn languages efficiently
    2
  18736. It's not fun being fat anywhere. When I visited my Bro in Taiwan. "You are much better looking than your brother". It was never a thought. My bro was not offended. "Chinese just come out and say it.".
    2
  18737. Oof! Got another one in my recommendations that I really shouldn’t miss! Great tips! I am just starting out with a learning format for Japanese. These guys have their own way of teaching and it’s pretty enjoyable. It’s just for some survival sentences but a very interesting course nonetheless. Learning new stuff every lesson. :)
    2
  18738. I think it's good advice to get in that mindset that you need to put some effort in. Living in the country and using it everyday helps but you need to make a real effort to study. I wish I actually studied Japanese because there are still so many things I lack that I would have got with a proper education in the language. I get tourists who think my Japanese is really good and I'm like no, it's just usable lol. After 15 years of being exposed to the language if I couldn't at least do that much I should just go back to England lol. There is a quote from somewhere that's something like: The pain from studying is temporary, the pain from not studying lasts a lifetime. It's a really good quote for learning a language or anything else. If you don't put in the effort then you'll have regrets in life, if you put in the work and deal with the stress now you'll have something you can use for the rest of your life.
    2
  18739. I appreciate the simple and no non-sense of videos. However, to make it worth your while, you gotta make your videos 10 min long or split it into two different videos. You can add goofy click bait and intro/outtro to pad time.
    2
  18740. I miss Japan, I was there last October. I cant wait to go back.

  18741. As an Idahoan I was litterally shocked to see that he was watching east idaho news. What is happening? Is this a glitch in the matrix??
    2
  18742. I lived in Japan for a few years, mainly in Yokohama near Chinatown. Spent most of my time working and going to meetings all over place. My view was great, I lived on the 30th floor and could see the whole harbor with Rainbow bridge off to the right. And on the other side of the my place you can see Fuji-san off in the distance. When I could get a day off, a lot of the time I'd go down to Chinatown area and hangout around the harbor area. Since I don't speak Japanese very well it. Really didn't matter because Japanese in the city can speak english, but they're too scared to talk. Thanks for the video 🇺🇸🗻

    2
  18744. Your points are well taken, but it does raise the question of at what point you have the 'right' to say you speak a language. i don't know that you necessarily need to have a near-native fluency to be able to say that. Rather I think the question is could you function in the day to day world of that culture? Can you understand what is being said to you and respond appropriately? If you can do that in multiple languages, are you not, by definition, a polyglot?

  18745. I love this wholesome content⛩🏯🌸🌻🌼🦋

  18746. Love this channel. Please keep the videos coming... doing a great job Aiming! Been here since 700 subscribers. So happy to see the channel growing.

  18749. Love your channel Tommy looked like he needed a stiff drink 🤣

  18750. I don’t believe this, the locals are supposed to be nice to each other, even to international foreigners, but this is different to mixed… I think they (mixed) should not be discriminated…
    2
  18751. Your videos are very interesting. I like how your excellent command of the Japanese language allows you to talk so easily with locals.
    2
  18752. I get that reaction in most countries I visit. I just look like a lot of typical American pro athletes so I stand out in a crowd pretty much everywhere. I'm used to it though and not offended.

  18756. I tend to think that the reason they stare is because of how beautiful you look and because of the colour and length of your hair. Back in 1992, my class had the chance to visit Japan, but I couldn't afford to go. My friend however, did. He told me when he went, he was like a magnet and attracted Japanese school kids and the like because of how tall he was: over 6ft. So yes, if you probably look different, they probably would stare or be curious.
    2
  18757. We all know who they are talking about lmao. I had the same views about him and a year or two ago I was watching him thinking it was so cool untill I realized he would only say basic greetings. Even if the other person asks him something complex he would go off his script like a tape recorder. But he definitely was one of the factors that sparked my interest in language learning.
    2
  18758. I didn't expect to see spray paints in Tokyo's public spaces like that (2:51). How surprising 😊
    2
  18759. Im happy to see what Japan looks like, I've always wanted to go and it's also neat to learn new things. Like ; I didn't know there was a Chinatown in Japan lol 🤷🏻‍♀️that's pretty cool. Thank God you speak 3 languages lol😅💯🦋
    2
  18760. It's always great to know a little bit of someone else's language. Even if you at least try they are super impressed. Just lets them know that you appreciate their culture. Easy sub! Keep up the great content!

  18761. The rain was an interesting mention. During my visit, it was very warm and welcoming. We quickly didnt mind the rain. Work, play or ball games with friends

  18765. Another fabulous and interesting video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

  18766. I want to learn Japanese but it’s hard for me to study over long periods of time so I want to try to talk to more people that are native to get a better understanding
    2
  18767. I loved this video, I didn't know about you until now :o Definitely subscribed!
    2
  18768. That's because English is a Universal Language. So are French and Spanish.
    2
  18769. We need the professional travel videos on tv but with you as a narrator! Glad to see you're doing well and happy!
    2
  18770. When people make an effort to speak the language it goes over alot better than some visiteurs who expect everyone to speak English. I believe that is the least someone can do, even if it is only the basics such as hello,goodbye and thankyou.
    2
  18771. Love your videos, but I have to mention: compliment - to say nice things complement - to enhance or complete
    2
  18772. Enjoy hearing these conversations and the collabs you’ve been putting out. 💖 Good stuff.

  18778. Awesome to hear you are from Detroit. I live in Michigan now, not in Detroit but up in the tip of the thumb, it’s way to cold here! Lol. Congrats on your marriage
    2
  18779. YOU think you have social anxiety ? No way . Real social anxiety would prevent you from speaking to strangers in any situation , let alone filming and engaging with people as you do . Yes of course it's subjective for you but the fact that you DO engage as easily as you do means you are not controlled by what you perceive to be anxiety . Have you ever considered running a tour business ? you could advertise on your channel for people that want to visit japan or china and give them tours of the cities , nature ,culture etc.

  18789. Hi oriental pearl. Do you have any advice in learning chinese? Any apps or any online training courses ect? Weve spoke before, I'm English, 42 . And a vehicle mechanic. So this is out of my range. But for the last 6 month iv been slowly learning mandarin. All I'm after is any pointers or advice really. Thank you and kind regards. Key

  18790. I really like your videos. Im currently living in china and learning chinese myself! Inspiration for me to keep going! hope you can get back to China soon.

  18797. I agree with the sentiment that there is no reason to glamorize speaking a language by posting these types of videos, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to try to take on multiple languages at once. I have no official language teaching experience, but I do think it's not bad to try and take on numerous languages in a relative time frame, as in perhaps learning one for a couple months, practicing it while you can, and if you want to work on another and get focused on that, I do that. I find that learning multiple languages from the same root language can be an interesting way to watch the change of the language over time as well as learning concepts in other languages that make other things seem easier in another language and while it can get confusing with mixing up vocabulary, I think this is something that can be avoided by immersing yourself in a specific language or culture so that each time you are in conversation with one language out of the others you might know in the family, you have it in the back of your mind. It's much like a switch into that language; with your accent no matter how bad or perfect, comes the learning and practice associated with it therefore directing your abilities towards a good conversation. Again, everyone learns and processes differently so I think the whole matter is subjective, but not something that should be strutted around under the guise of "Look at how cool I am." It's just nice to make someone happy that a foreigner is taking time to appreciate someone's culture and way of life. Seeing a smile on their face a great motivator to say "Now I gotta learn how to make the conversation more interesting."

  18800. I learned something very simple with food. To say "Kore, onegaishimasu" when ordering something and that would be enough. 😁
    2
  18801. Hello Anming! I've watched some of your videos and I'm so shocked and starting to admire you. You inspired me by speaking a chinese and japanese hahahaha. I want to learn another language like chinese and japanese. I hope you read and notice my comment hahaha. By the way, I'm a Filipino 😁

  18802. I love this video! When you are in this part of the city, the reactions are such fun!!!
    2
  18803. After watching a few videos from Xiaoma, Youtube recommended me your channel. I can only speak Portuguese (Native), English (Fluent) and Spanish (Really fake, using portuguese words all the time and being roasted for it), but my goal is to catch'em all.

  18804. 厉害👍great! 凄い！

  18805. Yaaaayy congratulations anming!! You’re channel is getting popular! Wish you get more and more subscribers 😆💃🏻💃🏻✨

  18806. I've never ever been to Asia but I have lived in Spain, studying Spanish and found similar reactions when meeting people there, but nowhere near as extreme as this! I absolutely love this channel. Makes me want to move to Asia and have the adventure of learning a new language there.

  18807. Japanese food is amazing, how do you and they manage to stay so thin! :D

  18808. I have been learning korean... but man it gets tougher and tougher as I go on...

  18809. This is my first time on your channel and I got super happy and started to tear up during your wedding ceremony part in the cathedral! And I’ve never teared up at any weddings before. 🥹 Wishing y’all the best lives together full of happiness and love!

  18810. I love your videos and your style. Please dont ever change =) be safe.

  18815. i don't really want to make myself look like a simp here, but seriously your eye color is so azure and beautiful in this video that it is almost hypnotizing.
    2
  18816. I love watching your videos. I wish I could do what you do. It's really wonderful. I spent 5 months in Japan last year and loved it. I plan on returning each year, so I want to learn Japanese. I did buy the full Pimsler's method through your link. Now, I need to spend more time with it!
    2
  18817. Great video, thanks for the captions!
    2
  18818. Other than English the only langue I speak fluently is sarcasm. And yes, I catch people talking about me all the time in that language. Funny that they think I won't know it
    2
  18819. Isn't it amazing how you easily switched from one language to another 🔥 How many languages do you speak? You sounded amazing 👍
    2
  18820. I love your & Katie’s collabs! Planning to move to Japan with my daughter after COVID & this is giving me perfect examples of expectations. More of your Katie-collabs, please!!!

  18821. I can’t imagine he doesn’t know this, but has he tried to make a minimal pairs deck in anki to distinguish between min and ming? Even though Japanese people can’t readily parse L and R, two weeks of minimal pair work usually allows them to separate them.
    2
  18822. What great fun. Thanks!!

  18823. This was very eye opening and very well done. Thank you.

  18824. I’ll try anything as long as I don’t have to run after it for too long!
    2
  18825. Dear, beautiful, enchanting Oriental Pearl, my advice would be: don't pay too much attention to the frustrations of some narrow-minded people who are unable to espouse a foreign culture as you do. You're too smart and clever for them. Just keep enchanting us with your great videos about the Far East.
    2
  18826. Ooops I commented too soon. I have now subscribed to your friend Tokyo Drew. I wish I could send money. ❤
    2
  18827. wow, you sound like a native! the way you speak sounds so nice. did you focus on learning the accent of a particular location in China, or listen to speakers from the same area..? i'd love to learn the same accent as you!
    2
  18828. I moved to China last year, and one thing I have been extremely impressed with is that Chinese people will tell me that my Chinese is good, really great, amazing, etc. （你的中文真棒啊！）Even though my Chinese is not good at all -- but what that is... is very encouraging! Unfortunately we do not have this practice in Western culture, seemingly expecting other to just speak English and speak it well. So, now I tell everyone their English is great. 😂 （哇啊，你的英文很好啊~ 怎么这么好？？）
    2
  18829. So cute 🥰 I wish I could see them in person they are so cute together omg 😱 didn’t know a straight guy could fan girl 🫢

  18831. Hi Anming! I just want to say that I really love your channel and personality. It feels so real and genuine, I hope you keep it that way. Im from Malaysia, and its filled with a multi-cultural and multi-language community, so I can somewhat resonate with your switches between the 3 languages. In Malaysia, we even tend to mix a few languages in one sentence haha! Lastly, Im actually on exchange in Australia right now (not the best time), and its been tough since we're always cooped up at home. Watching your vidoes really inspire me as a person, not just from a language perspective, but the way your carry yourself. Your vidoes really makes my day and motivates me to improve my language game. Hopefully I can improve my Chinese (it's been a while) and my Japanese too! Thanks and I hope you stay safe and healthy! Cheers

  18835. The real question is what does カルピス taste of lol. My mum is always fussy about trying new things and was asking what it is when I was going to get her a drink. I couldn't even describe the taste except for "it's refreshing". I guess it's like a flat cream soda but that doesn't even describe it perfectly.

  18836. Yeah Japanese are really thin... I went on a food trip in Japan and my partner and I ordered a shit ton of food in izakayas... My fat shame story was when i got 2 bowls of ramen from the ramen machine ticket dispenser (they take your order from these dispensers and you give the ticket to the servers) So basically Me: Gets 2 bowls of ramen Chef: Did you get 2 bowls by mistake? We can refund you Me: Uhmm.. no im a fatass and i want to eat 2 ramens

  18837. Him talking to those girls in the street was hilarious lol. As an American, I love it when people make fun of Americans and American stereotypes
    2
  18838. In your opinion, which language is the hardest to learn and speak, Chinese, Korean or Japanese?
    2
  18839. I love this one, Anming <3 Very interesting. I think a lot of people don't believe they have the personality for YouTube but in fact they're perfect for it and extremely interesting to watch and listen to. I get it though, it's not for everybody <3 Thanks for the two videos a week :) Keep up the caffeine!
    2
  18840. I'm french and this video était juste incroyable <3
    2
  18841. This is one of the reasons why I am learning Japanese, it's a dream to be able to actually talk to Japanese folk. 😁👍
    2
  18842. Congratulations you two! Although I grew up in Japan and my father is Catholic I never attended a Japanese language Catholic Church. It was interesting how the Japanese culture of bowing to show respect was integrated into the Catholic ceremony.
    2
  18843. Love your content. I started to learn Japanese!
    2
  18844. Youare awesome and charming.
    2
  18845. As someone who looks like you and lives in Korea it's very similar here people don't really care that foreigners speak Korean, I'd say older people have reactions sometimes... 😮Happy Valentines Day Alyssa ❤

  18846. thanks for the tour. reminds me when i left my hometown to pursue my studies in the city.

  18851. Great to see you back in your natural habitat and doing what you always do best! :D
    2
  18852. someone PLEASE tell me what is wrong with appreciating another culture(s)? Should I just stick my head in USA sands? shove hamburgers down my gullet, shoot guns, and watch football 24/7? What's wrong w/ respect? I appreciate so many cultures!
    2
  18853. You should dye your hair and dress in those crazy ass colors for a day, then arrange to meet your Finnish friend and do a reaction video..lol

  18854. me, meanwhile in the Northern Prefectures: (speaks Japanese) the Locals: 👀 naruhodo ne (doesn't naruhodo at all)
    2
  18855. I've occasionally come across your videos and recently been binge-watching them! they're not only interesting, but also very wholesome and joyful. I love your friendly and open-minded character and also love you and your fiancé's chemistry! everytime I see the two of you I just get so happy hahah idk if you ever made a video like this, but what about "speaking to my fiancé in English for 24 hours" or maybe even Chinese? I just think it would be so cute and funny :) lots of love from Germany!!
    2
  18856. Thank you for this great discussion! Its really helpful! I had intended to make a video on this from the perspective of a relative beginner to language learning, and this has really informed me! Discussions like this have really helped bring me back down to earth and make realistic goals...which even then I feel are ambitious at times. I want to maintain my Spanish, maybe slowly improving it whilst learning Arabic properly. Any dabbling in other languages, probably other romance languages will just be for fun and to communicate when visiting any of those countries :)
    2
  18857. watching from Australia amazing
    2
  18858. Oooh I am watching thid so early
    2
  18859. I ws honored and blessed at meeting each and every person who was overjoyed with my Japanese/Korean studies. It's like, they lit up every time. beautiful people.
    2
  18860. The difference between you and a lot of these other YouTubers I've visited is that you speak two, very distinct, and extremely difficult (for a native English speaker) languages at a very proficient level. I'm sure you've seen the difficulty level classified by the Foreign Language Institute that the time requirements to learn Japanese or Chinese each require about 4x amount of time it would take to learn Dutch, French, Spanish, or any of the easier languages. So being fluent in both Chinese and Japanese is like being fluent in 8 of the easier languages. It's pretty insane! I use this example to try to discourage people from attempting to learn Japanese unless they know what they are getting into! I've seen people struggle for literally 10+ years to study Japanese!
    2
  18861. Very interestig cross-cultural study. Subscribed.
    2
  18862. the man on the moped was super chill, and his english was hella good like conversationally fluent, if not ouright fluent.
    2
  18863. i was thinking about the same thing, I started learning Japanese just 1 month ago, and I am overwhelmed with the homework already as a working adult. I have been writing a lot due to the assignments given but I can barely speak anything in Japanese yet. But surfing on discord talking with people who claim themselves who are really good in Japanese, yes they do speak well and fluent as I am not at anywhere to judge/identify yet, but they cant even form a complete sentence properly. 😂 Looking at those polyglots, I don't have the courage to say that I am FLUENT in any languages that I've learnt all my life lol.
    2
  18864. That's wonderful performance by the children singing Mandarin song 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
    2
  18865. Positive reinforcement works best 👍

  18869. Love this video! The conversation with the two vendors was great!
    2
  18870. I'd subscribe but I already am subscribed. 😂 I love these videos, I am amazed at the fact that you speak four languages. I would love to learn a new language but never seem to have the time. I do speak a little Brazilian Portuguese from working with several Brazilians for like 20 years. I would love to master the language though. Plus maybe learn my ancestral language of French. 😁

  18875. Kill bill is one of my favs too! I bought a pair of her infamous “f*ck you” shoes a few years ago. Looks like y’all had a great time. Onitsuka tiger tai chi’s if anyone was wondering what the shoes were called.

  18876. Tks for the Nihongo class Teacher. Arigato!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎

  18877. Weirdly I was watching the latest season of Cobra Kai and as the lady was speaking Japanese I recognized what she was saying (it was simple language, greetings and such) but I very clearly heard what she said and understood because it was phrases you say a lot❤❤ I'm picking stuff up just by watching your wonderful videos 💜
    2
  18878. So as a non-native speaker can you answer this question. When you speak in Japanese do you think first about the word in English then into Japanese? I have always wondered how other languages are processed internally from a native point of view. Is there a point where you don’t internally translate it and it just comes out as normal speech? Like getting to the point where You can understand people if am walking around without a secondary translation
    2
  18879. 日本語も中国語も上手だね

  18880. 0:45 You make it look easy for sure!

  18883. Everyone is so freindly! I would always be nervous that I was somehow being ill mannered on accident due to ignorance of the culture.

  18884. Such a heartwarming video omg! So glad I found your channel you and your friends are always so much fun and it's so wonderful seeing all the Christmas cheer.

    2
  18892. You are amazing 😂 idk how you do it with all the languages.
    2
  18893. This is a sweet and heartwarming video. Everything about it impressed me. But I have to say the thumbnail photo for the video is hilarious, perhaps unintentionally. Happy New Year!
    2
  18894. That man is good looking just saying. Anyway I love your videos and this one was really good.

  18896. Wow the sirens and walking through the eerie buildings made me anxious and nervous that's crazy scary...
    2
  18897. You look so happy. Congrats from another person on the internet. As an aside, how did two childhood friends (Kelly) BOTH end up in Japan married to Japanese men?
    2
  18898. I love these kind of videos. It always warms my heart to see how happy it makes people when you can speak to them in their own language.

  18899. When I saw Colonel Sanders dressed as a samurai I couldn't stop saying, "Oh, no!"

  18902. Yankee isn't a negative word in English?? Yankee is a term originally used by the British to refer to the US settlers, especially in New England. Within the US civil war, it was used as a mocking term by the southerners. Prior to the Anerican Revolution, the Yankee Doodle song was sung by the British and French to mock the "disheveled moronic simpletons" from the US and has connotations of a poor musical taste. Ironically, the Americans enjoyed this song and started singing it with no idea what it meant. Outside of the US today in every major English speaking country "yank" or "yankee" is used as a pejorative term to refer to any American. It carries a meaning of loud, obnoxious, ignorant, stupid, fat, overly patriotic and so on.

  18903. Hi, first of all, I love your channel so much even tho I’m a brazilian and I don’t understand english so much. My name is Jhon and I have a mixed question for Katie and for u. “How can we keep up a healthy relationship with such’a distance, like, My boyfriend is going to japan in 2021, I live in São Paulo and I’ll miss him so much. Xoxo!
    2
  18904. You are doing great 👍
    2
  18905. You are so talented! You study hard and have achieved multi language status. I wish I could do this. Continued success.
    2
  18906. Not to wanna flex, but I do have a very acute ear for languages and pronunciations (speak 5 languages fluently, 3 of which natively). I have spent time with japanese (martial arts in Tokyo; my brother stayed 5 years in Tokyo). I very much commend you for your flawless skills in both nihon-go and chinese. I am sure your korean will be as immaculate. Highest rate of appreciation right here. You are inspiring.
    2
  18907. He's got some good content on his channel. Very entertaining.

  18908. I remember I was in Ikea and there was a sign that red ソフトクリーム and I red it outloud with the English pronunciation xP a woman standing infront of me turned her head impressed (almost scared) xP

  18911. Wonderful channel. You are a wonderful ambassador for America, and you make me proud to be an American. I discovered your channel surfing YouTube while visiting my daughter and her husband. You and your future husband are so cute and I can't wait to see the video when your respective parents meet. I am sure there will be laughter and tears of joy. How do you jump from one language to another so quickly? and, What language do you think in?
    2
  18912. i hope you have a great christmas
    2
  18913. Ah brilliant, I am always so impressed by anyone who can speak more than one language and especially when your native language is English because it is so easy to be lazy as most of the world speaks English so you really can get away with not learning another language, but those who did are like they have super powers!

  18914. I was in California and had a earthquake and I was oh No what is this and the majority of Californians are like it’s no big thing. The aftershocks had me calling the airline for a flight out sooner

  18918. I’m living in Kawagoe. Kawagoe festival is very exiting.
    2
  18919. I get this a lot too as a half Japanese and half caucasian. People wonder why I know so much about Japan, can speak the language, and even act like a Japanese. lmao many also say that I act Japanese, but don't look like it physically. Now I've gotten used to that, but still makes me disappointed lol. and even if they already know that I'm half (even met my mom lol), they don't treat me as a Japanese and become surprised that I even take off the shoes in the house 🤦‍♀ sigh weirdos
    2
  18920. Fascinating culture. I wonder how they get help when in need? (Lests ask Oriental Pearl)
    2
  18921. Yeah, I have seen some polyglot videos and when they go to speak Japanese (I live in Tokyo by the way) they tend to use very basic Japanese to introduce themselves like Chapter 1 textbook stuff and their accent is really bad. I started to realize some polyglots weren't legit but if I didn't know any Japanese I would have probably though they were amazing.
    2
  18922. I wish both of you the best of luck throughout your life together. A traditional Catholic wedding . . . excellent.😇💖 You both look amazing!
    2
  18923. Another video. Yay.
    2
  18924. When I went to China I exactly experienced the same excitement from the Chinese people :D though I have to say that it was a rural area (Shangyu, Zhejiang) but damn...these people seem to never have seen western people, especially Scandinavian looking ones! 😂
    2
  18925. What a great piece of journalism. Well done! 🎉
    2
  18926. Damn right 😮

  18929. Is it really you who hearts these comments or do you have a team that does it?
    2
  18930. usually they toss in the "every learner has their own learning style" which is true but also a hedge. i just focus on cognates and structural parallels.

  18940. Thank you. I just found your channel. Thanks for including the translation. It helps alot in learning the language in a real life scenario, speed. Great Job.
    2
  18941. I think it's great.... ! I want to learn more languages... now Just because u can speak English then go abroad except them natives to talk English back to u .No u can talk in their native language. I Wish we had more different language lessons at school ...

  18942. Your new haircut 💇‍♀️ is cute! 🙃

  18943. Wow nice, can’t believe you too did a video together. I love watching your videos, you both.

  18944. I thought it was illegal to own bibles in China?
    2
  18945. Hey oriental pearl I think what you’re doing is pretty cool and you’re encouraging others to learn languages Which is a great thing please don’t stop making videos and don’t listen to the haters who are jealous from your skill

  18948. omg i love the auntie that lovingly judged you "your parents must be lonely" so adorable.

  18949. They're so cute 😭😭 Congratulations!!! ❤️❤️🥳
    2
  18950. So that's the app I was looking for !!! I have mistakenly used HiNative for a few months thinking it was Hello Talk LOL. I studied Japanese for 6 months straight in 2019 then obtained N4. Sat for N2 last month, hope I can pass it, but still not very confident in speaking. Think will try out Hello Talk. Thanks Anming for bringing this topic up! - A Malaysian subscriber in Tokyo (English, Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese)

  18951. This is such great video journalism マジで最高
    2
  18952. Yes Katie! Question authority! We need you back in the US!!!!!❤️🖤💚
    2
  18953. And the editing level I think has shot up a few levels. Nice job.
    2
  18954. Yes by all means if you have time put all your videos on here I have been watching nothing but your videos the last two weeks and some of them ten or more times. Oh and by the way you might not want to here it but I actually came to your sight because I saw a beautiful blond lady that caught my eye but once I started watching your videos I was addicted to them. I got a lot of respect for you taking on this journey of discovery and embracing it. My brother and his son have lived in Tokyo for the last 10 years teaching English and they love it. They are fluent in Japanese both in language as well as reading and writing.
    2
  18955. Wow! English, mandarin and Japanese. Great linguist.
    2
  18956. People just say what they want to say 1) they can’t stop the movement 2) these videos keep inspiring people like me to learn new languages
    2
  18957. I want to learn Japanese im gonna start nowww
    2
  18958. THANK YOU!!! That's what I've been saying! People are so easily impressed and it makes me cringe. A lot of language channels are really gimmicky and dishonest. I specially dislike the videos of people who all they know is order food and claim they're fluent. I appreciate you talking about this topic.
    2
  18959. Very cool and awesome channel as always ❤️👍🏻 and hopefully one of these days, I can fly out to Japan when this whole COVID crisis is over in California “PRAYING EVERY DAY” all major holidays were cancelled in California 😞
    2
  18960. What! The rich Shaw is amazing, Japanese people are really amazing. They pulling by themselves.
    2
  18961. 1:50 Ayo is no one gonna talk about that Hunter X Hunter ost though?!
    2
  18962. 😂 I like how you speak English here with your husband. Let him practice too! ❤
    2
  18963. ahhh shirakawa-go is what inspired ryukishi07 when he created hinamizawa, the tiny village that serves as the setting in the higurashi series! definitely worth checking out if you like visual novels or anime! (anming briefly referenced it in the video- it's a murder-mystery series!)
    2
  18964. Great for her, she is doing what she loves and she is absolutely right ! Her disability should not stop her following her dreams ! As a fan of metal music (and rock too), rock/metal in Japan is becoming bigger and bigger (even it's still kinda mainstream over there) thanks to the explosion of many Japanese female bands (with female singers or only female musicians) that are more and more present in the musical universe. It's even called "Girls Metal Band Boom" since a decade. And they are more known than Japanese "only guys" bands ! Babymetal, Lovebites, Band-Maid, Waggaki Band, etc...
    2
  18965. I think people are not too surprised to hear foreigners speaking Japanese but if you speak it well then they become surprised. I didn't really notice it too much myself but when I was out with my friend friend from India he noticed a lot of people looking at me twice when they heard me speaking Japanese. I think they were polite enough not to be so obvious as to get my attention. I wish I could achieve that level with Chinese too. It only took 6+ years of studying Japanese lol. I just started Chinese (your channel is one reason I'm interested in Chinese)
    2
  18966. I'm Chinese-American, learning Japanese, this was a really fun video to watch. It's so trippy watching a Caucasian girl schooling an Asian guy on an Asian language LOL. Keep up the good work!
    2
  18967. Lol, so funny when you said sweets are a trap. I can so relate. Sweets are my weakness!
    2

  18987. Наверно многие, как и я, просто не понимают сложно ли говорить на Китайском) Но поверю что это сложнее чем английский)
    2
  18988. Usually I don't comment on videos but I've got to say that your Vietnamese pronunciation sounded so native-like that I had to double-check! I guess Chinese helps to get the tones right. Can't wait for you to speak Vietnamese in your videos:D
    2

  18996. I love this type of videos not just from you but others as well its so funny to watch reactions when they hear their language from foreigners

  18997. Hello from Alberta, Canada. Love, love, love your videos. Keep them coming. I always look forward to them and I am a long time subscriber.

  18999. I'm not surprised that "people" (not naming names, but someone who uses 'white guy speaks chinese' in their video names) fake reactions or edit out footage. It's all for views, honestly. I can admire the dedication to learn entire languages and exploiting it for youtube money but honestly it gets annoying to watch those kinds of videos. People aren't so shocked by people being bilingual, or even multilingual in your case, just because it's so common now for people to speak multiple languages.

  19000. Sorry Oriental Pearl, needed to comment again!! WOW, you rocked this editing!!! improved so much. learned a lot from you about HOW TO TELL A COMPELLING STORY in a video!! 🙏 🙇‍♂️

  19006. Just wanna ask how many years did u take to learn Japanese and Chinese?
    1
  19007. Ive been trying to study Japanese on an off for a few years, when I see other people speaking the language I want to learn I find it cool and even inspiring when native of that language say oh you speak really well. I think Humm maybe if I study and practice hard enough I can also get to that level.

  19020. Brilliant.👏👍Now is the best time 2 bridge the gap of China and Japan. 80 years of dark history should be long forgotten specially the new generations now.😄😆I am less amused with my 90 y/o grandpa war stories that he kept speaking whenever our family meet up. Dam the old folks. I am like just move the heck on mang.😏😏Lastly self employed own boss is the best.😇😇

  19022. Your fluent Japanese quite amazes me. By the way, if you heard me pronounce English, you would have an ugly nightmare. 失礼ながら、次の日本語をどう思いますか？ 1) 明日は６月30日だ。１年の50%も終わりか.... 2) 採れ立てのメロン 3) 採り立てのメロン
    1
  19023. Wow! I am impressed with your comfort level with multiple languages. It's sad that our American school system doesn't start other languages sooner and require them yearly while our brains are young. I want to know more languages but not enough to put it on my to-do list.🤪 I am in awe. What fun to travel for you because of it!

  19027. Another great video - thank you. What I enjoy most is pausing here and there and looking at all of the surroundings etc. Such a cool experience, I find your videos fascinating, educating and entertaining. Not just click bait nonsense. Thank you again for doing these and taking the time editing. Those flowers were beautiful - Hibiscus?

  19031. Hey, I'm almost 60, and I was hitt'n on a nice 78-year-old babe a few days back. I'm, like, "So, girl, do you like Oriental Pearl?" She was, like, "Oh, for sure!" We were married, like, ten minutes later, which didn't last more than ten more minutes, after I found out she thought I was going to buy her some type of pearl, an oriental species! Man, what a waste of time...and paper work! (Thanks for the vid!)

  19032. That looks like so much fun!

  19033. What a good video to watch <3 it's been 6 months since i started to watch your videos I was looking for something about Japan.

  19038. Also laughing at 16:37 - Japanese people viewing you as "just another human being" does not exist. Foreigners are other in Japan, no ifs ands or buts.

  19056. It seems like people get a lot less shocked by me speaking Mandarin than they used to. Especially younger people and people who have recently left China. Now they don't care too much which I much prefer.

  19074. Great video! And the last part so reliable that Oh you're interested going to another country can't land a job here in the US.

  19082. I remember wanting to play super robot wars original saga on ps2 but I couldn't because both og saga games were completely in Japanese and I was like FUUUUUUUUUCK!, most of the best games in existence never came out of Japan, we can enjoy some of them due to the awesome game-hacking community, I've managed to play both Digimon games on the psp due to some dedicated dudes translating them 100% in English, and re-digitize is now on my top 10 games of all times, I know English and Spanish(which is my native language), but Japanese is honestly entirely out of the picture for me, it's just too hard for an Spanish-speaking person, I wish some day we'll all be able to understand each other without the barrier of language and so we'll be able to be friends with any person from any part of the world

Im heading to the filipines on the first (i hope) ill be so glad to get all this covid19 thing behind me, i live in vegas, and it has been a long road here. Vegas is in big trouble, we dont know if the casinos will reopen or when. They odviously are the bread and butter of this state. Anyways hope you are healthy, and happy, and life treats you well. And good luck with your videos. Mark H

  19092. I already felt the need to not be an arrogant ass even in my own country. I never really thought of it being odd to not be boastful because to be honest, it annoys me a little as well depending on the context.

  19093. I'm Asian and I enjoy watching quite a number for polyglot channels. No idea why anyone would be angry. The clueless white dude at 2.53 saying that it "smacks of this colonial mentality" is the most idiotic and ridiculous thing I've heard in a while. When the British colonized my country, they didn't bother to learn the language, and instead forced everyone else to learn English.

  19094. Aaah how much I want to learb english and chinese and korean😭 To meet new friends. I speak english and spanish hehe I am latin. I also want to learn italian I know a little italian but is so hard to learn to many languages at this age2😭

  19119. you should go to the country side and learn their dialect when you get the chance to do a program in korea. i'm curious what you think. technically, we do have one tonal dialect but it's still korean and can be understood if you know the context(but every word that uses a tone means something completely different). by tones i mean, there are 3 tones rising, neutral, falling. since i personally don't speak a tonal language, i've been curious what people who did learn a tonal language thinks about that dialect. the specific dialect is from gyeongsang-do

  19127. On my first trip to Japan, my friends and I had found an onsen that had a mixed gender outdoor area. I think that might be one of the better ways to get comfort with public bathing, since you can just do it with a group of friends you feel comfortable with. I fear that mixed bathing has become less accessible in recent years, though.

  19128. When a "polyglot youtuber" makes a video of themselves going around speaking our mother tongue at an elementary level while claiming that they are a "polyglot" feels kind of insulting and we're most like not to comment(generally) on the cringeworthy sight that we just saw. However, if they make a video of themselves going through the works to become fluent in our mother tongue without claiming to be a "polyglot," it would be seen as respectable and thankful for appreciating our culture. I'm a Korean and I grew up speaking Korean, English, and Filipino and actually lived in those native speaking countries so I'm fluent enough to debate political and scientific topics using them. Whereas, my other languages such as French and Mandarin are at B1 or Grade school level so I would consider myself multilingual but definitely not a polyglot--this title takes lots and lots of effort.

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now, and I’ve also seen other videos about Japan and I really want to move there, but I fear a lot about struggling to make friends in Japan, but I don’t know what to say bc I don’t live there (hehe) so I want to know how is it. Love from London!!

  19143. Thanks for your advice Anming! I finally decided to learn Mandarin and I'm looking at paying for services. I signed up for italki and have a trial tutor set up. When choosing a tutor, should we consider how easy it is to understand what they're saying? There's a tutor from Beijing who's easier to understand than one from Tianjin (in terms of my being able to distinguish more of the words rather than a word jumble). I'm not sure if it's just a difference between the individual tutors or if it's regional. Should we be fine starting with someone who seems a bit harder to understand in the hopes that other accents will be easier to understand? You mentioned ChineseClass 101. How do 1 on 1 classes work on ChineseClass101? I see it's a flat price -- how many one-on-one classes does that get you? Thanks so much for sharing your experience! This channel was the first I returned to when I decided to learn Mandarin. lol.

  19144. My two daughters and her extended family as well as I celebrated my grand daughters birthday at “”Marine World” in California. When we got there we had an enormous line to wait. 100’s of protestors were there due to Animal Cruelty Allegations. It was so overwhelming hot that I had to leave early with my other grand daughters grandma who was also over heated with a smaller young grand daughter of hers as no amount of spray water, etc. kept us cool enough. My oldest daughter’s new car started to act up so we had to spend an extra night at the hotel. We couldn’t use the air conditioning in the vehicle because it seem to cause it to stop. Finally got to the city where the dealership was...spent another night at a different hotel. Needles to say it took three days longer to return home. I prayed all the way from the beginning to my home town. My daughter went alone to the store and her car stopped and would not restart and so she had it towed back to the dealership. I can’t seem to get excited about going on anymore trips with everyone now.

  19154. Another interesting video. Looking forward to your Sendai excursion footage. Had a friend who spent 15 years living in Singapore and Taipei. Their son is and was a six foot four blond hair blue eyed youth. People would come up and touch his hair to see if it was real,and many wanted to get photo's with him cause he was so different. He grew up thinking it was normal, and when he came back to Canada for university, he remarked that except for he height he was no longer special, just tall.

  19200. I usually don't talk about this too much, but for me, I hate it when people claim to speak 6-7 languages, when, in reality, they can just introduce themselves in 6-7 languages. In my book, to be able to say you speak a language, you must be able to converse about most everyday topics. It's okay if you have an accent, it's okay if you make mistakes, but you should be able to basically live in that language alone. Then, I will admit you speak that language. For example, I speak french as my mother tongue, and I also speak English. I make a few errors in english, but I can discuss some vey advanced topics, including engineering, physics, etc. I do understand almost everything in Spanish, portuguese, italian and haitian creole... I would never claim I SPEAK any of these languages. I could probably say a few sentences in each, but this is not speaking a language... And so I am NOT a polyglot. I am bilingual. In YOUR case, I think it's perfectly safe to say you are a polyglot, you speak at least 3 languages at a very high level, I'm sure you make mistakes both in Mandarin and Japanese, but you did live in china, in chinese, and in japan, in japanese. There is no reason for anybody to challenge your polyglot status... Wouter is extremely impressive.

  19202. I honestly love Japan but how they even have a term to compliment skinny people by calling them “スマート”(smart) annoys me. So what do you call a fat person? 馬鹿？(stupid?). Older people would tell me don’t get fat because you’d looks stupid. I just think they should try to change these kinds of stereotypes.

  19203. I love ya Oriental Pearl and been watching/subscribed to you since you only had 7K subs but come on your 20 million view video is click bait worded. When i first saw it in recommend list it had 30K views and i thought to myself WOW that is some serious bait text, I bet it gets her the most views she has ever had. (and it did) "Catching People Talking About Me in Foreign Languages" and "I know what you said about me" (in the thumbnail graphic. Sounds like horror movie title "I saw what you did last summer" Yes that is a real movie) Anyway, just because that is true doesn't mean it is not click bait-ish lol

  19207. Most of Japanese care about Taiwan and Korea in wide ranged ways and many people visit there for many times for holidays but we almost forgot about the North East 3 provinces and few Japanese people visit there for holiday. I think we should more. l. I want to learn Chinese but it seems very difficult to phonic side of the language. Japanese way of pronouncing Chinese characters is imported from the way of the ancient 呉 pronunciation. I can barely communicate with people in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Fujian today in the Japanese way of pronunciation. I like the cultural diversity in China. They say Han and the 55 ethnic minorities. But I can divide Han roughly into 5 to 6 ethnic groups culturally and ethnically if I adopt the criteria to define ethnic groups in other countries. Han is a very broad concept like Arab. Whenever I visit China, as a Japanese, I feel very strange like in Alice in Wonderland about that Chinese people are physically very close to us and many of them(though some won’t) can pass by Japanese if they are dressed like Japanese but they behave completely like alien. I am wondering if American people who define themselves and categorize human being by racially physical features can understand how alien we feel about each other in spite of the racially physical closeness. You see that not so many Chinese people reacted to you speaking Chinese. That’s a good example that shows that they categorize human in a very different way from American. I heard that for Chinese people what was most important was if you speak Chinese or not when they categorize people. For Japanese, we unconsciously divide all people in the world, Japanese/Non Japanese. We don’t categorize people not by race.If somebody is Japanese or not is everything. Maybe, that is why black American before the civil right felt very surprised at being treated equal along with other American in Japan. Japanese and Chinese don’t know about each other because despite the geographically closeness to each other, both have had little first hand direct experience to each other all through the history. I am sure that the people from rest of world would be surprised that we have seldom visited each other, almost to none despite the geographic closeness for all through the history. I would like you to interview Chinese people living in Japan about life in China and collaborate with Chinese Japanese-speaking vloggers in Japan for Japanese audiences. and some native English speaking western Vloggers who have lived in China and know well about Japan too like Winston Sterze

  19215. Very interesting. By the way, I apologise for my english, I do my best, but, it is not my mother tongue. Actually, I am what we call a ''half'', my mother is japanese and my dad is french, I am born and raised in a French speaking part of Switerland, so never lived in Japan, but i visit my family at leat once a year for an extended period of time. I speak fluently japanese, read and write it also, even tough I sometime need a dictionary for the kanji, I have some difficulties remembering them. My appearance is not as foreign as you, but I definitly don't look fully japanese (I suppose your color of hair attract even more attention in asia?), but something is different and i stand out. In europe however I am told I look asian or latina, haha. What you show in your video is very similar to my experience. I should also mention that when I was small even in the big city it was unusual to see a foreigner speaking japanese, now it is normal, you can go (almost) innoticed. So, I think, things changed quickly in the last few years. However, in the countryside it will arouse some curiosity, people will come to speak to you, stare etc.. especially the eldery. It doesn't bother me (I know some foreigners take it badly), because most or the time, like 99%, it is not aggressive or hostile, but curiosity toward something exotic and people are very kind. Also never heard any of my friends who visited Japan metioning any bad experience. The only one I had, if we set aside the few ''uyoku'' (far right groups) shouting their hate speech ( ignored by everybody, they can be violent folks so beware) was in a ''Izakaya'' in Tokyo, that refused the gaijin, my dad went first and after being rejected, pretending being fully booked, I went, angry to show I could speak japanese before noticing there were only men and were judging by their look the aformentioned extremists. How frustrating, but better not to get in trouble. However, I must add that behind this image of kindness, politness, hospitality of the people, the fascinating beauty and sophistication of this culture (art, cuisne etc..) as well as the nature (cherry blossom, fall etc..), lies another reality, that foreigner - by which i mean ''tourists'' and not longterm resident - often fail / don't have the opportunity to see - that perhaps ''half'' such as me or foreigner who live / lived in Japan some time realize. Based on my observations, it does happen after some time, preceded by a ''honeymoon period'', where everthing seems perfect and idealized. All the beauty are real, but there is much more, japanese society is in fact so much complex than what one can see in the first instance (like any where else). I have heard sometime from people who have been disappointed by Japan that ''it is a facade'', in my opinion, it is because of the false image of Japan that some people have and of course cultural differences. It is just that they lose their illusion, due to a deeper understanding of the culture, but Japan had always been like that, As shown in the video as a foreigner, there aren't animosity or violence as in some western countries, and the hospitality which is agreeable can become frustrating because you will never be truely accepted in the society.

  19234. Makes me so mad when people who put a ton of effort into achieving true fluency in 2 or 3 or 4 languages get overshadowed by people who know basic levels of 20. I know people who speak Spanish at the same level as I do and they claim themselves fluent when they are obviously not. I will not call myself fluent in a foreign language until I am actually fluent

  19253. Sounds like you are going a little stir crazy! But you are getting out and doing stuff and that's helping you I believe. I do like the pranks. I watch laoshu505000 often and I think you could do similar vids at department stores and shops. Your personality is infectious and most of the people I see you interacting with are genuinely surprised and more willing to share a part of themselves with you. Keep up the good work and enjoy the moments.

  19265. Dear Anming: Keep up the good work! I feel you for slipping on ice! I live in NYC now. But my Air Force family lived for three years in Misowa & part of that time on the area Air Base. We were located at the northern most tip of Honshu just across from Hokkaido! We had built in rooftop hatches which we would push snow off & open to get out when the snow was drifting higher than the top of our front door! Then my dad (usually) would go shovel out & open the 7 foot high front door & clear off the sidewalk to our car, etc! It snowed prodigiously! Great Winter Memories of snow-people, igloos, sledding & snowball fights!

  19269. This video made me realize how many opportunities I robbed myself of because I was too darn afraid to make mistakes. I could have been at a way higher level by now if I hadn't stopped myself. That is the part that sucks. I must say, I'm still a scared-y cat, but I'm feeling more open now. I've been learning Korean for nearly 10 years, yet I'm the level of someone who has been learning for no more than 2. I have the opportunity to speak Korean with someone in my town, so I should probably take that and not let this slip too. Thanks for the wise words!

I just bought a brand new 58 sq meter apartment in a nice neighborhood of Jerusalem, not the most expensive neighbourhood, and itwas $750,000. Tokyo isn't as expensive than i thought.

  19275. I follow what you guys say and I think its good that you at least concede that they can motivate people. I suppose what sets you apart from the others is the casual/candid conversations you do have with others instead of just looking for a reaction. The only unambiguous issue I have is with those "Fluent in X days!" videos.

  19276. 你的中文好标准，还会日语！

  19277. Your channel and by extension you have inspired my continual learning of Japanese. I have a number of paid and free lessons including some you recommended such as japanesepod101. Because I am riding the ups and down of learning the language, I find that when I become frustrated with one, I can switch to another, and keep working towards my goal. One thing, in your last conversation with Matt you expressed frustration with how Japanese was taught by some Japanese language schools. It is my hope to spend three or four months in a smaller Japanese city ie: Not Tokyo or Osaka, at a language school. Do you have any suggestions for language schools that instruct in the manner you consider a more effective way. I'm assuming that someday Japan will reopen, and between school and the immersive environment I hope I will become at least functional, if not semi fluent. I no longer stop studying when road blocks appear, because if you can work full time and still study six hours a day, over coming obstacles, then I can study three hours a day and not back slide by giving up for even a short period of time. I watch and enjoy all your video's, but is when you strip away all the learn a language in minutes with no effort garbage, and drive home the message that it's hard work and will take a lot of effort, that your content shines. Thanks for the inspiration.

  19295. My sister left her handbag on a train in tokyo, some charged after us on the platform to return it. Other places you would be glad someone didn't actively steal it. Japan is something else.

  19308. your so cute😍😘
    1
  19309. It's clear that you are not only fluent in Chinese, but also literate in Chinese (able to read and write). It would be interesting to know your thoughts on the difficulty of learning to write in Japanese vs. Chinese.
    1
  19310. You should put the locations of these places in the description so we can support them!
    1
  19311. 4:05 i think this is the worst kind of people. No respect !!!!! when you go to a country, at least TRY to learn the language, on a basic level !!

  19312. She was probably a fan of your channel or someone trying to steal from the store. I would not worry

  19313. 10 minute videos with advertisements is the sweet spot to optimize your earnings per a video. Research it and your profits will soar. Good luck!

  19314. I really appreciate your videos. Please keep them coming

  19315. @0:05 The older I get the more I realise there’s no such thing as a stupid question! How do you say ‘blended family’ in Japanese? 🫶

  19316. Best advice I ever got, "haters gonna hate , its their job, let them do their job".

  19317. I'm feel excited because I can understand your English 🥺
    1
  19318.  @OrientalPearl  No, I have to spend 12 hours at my job 😁 + eat, household and recovery (sleep) there ain't 6 hours left which I could spend into learning. So that's why I think learning such a challenging language is just for people who live in the right environment and have the time to spend in studying. I'm definitely none of them due to my working hours 💩

  19319. loving the videos.... and that Drum&Bass ... Plus a bit of ASMR Eating on the end... PERFECT !!

  19320. will give this a watch when finished work I've been waiting for this to see what's it's like working in Japan as a foreigner.

  19322. It is "anteeksi" I think finnish people say sorry all the time. Finland is to cold in the winter time and a lot of mosquitos in the summer. But love it anyway :)

  19325. I thought Japanese locals are nice to international foreigners... only because they thought the foreigners did not follow regular Jaoanese practice...

  19334. Interesting. Thank you.
    1
  19335. I think it has a lot to do with your approach and intention. If you are direct and start with Chinese, it's only mildly shocking, and that's overcome by their desire to help you. Of course if you switch languages it's more shocking.
    1
  19336. I just love your fashion sense.

  19337. Yes, I liked and am subscribed! :)

  19341. That's so weird, but complaining on the internet is America's past time. haha I think your ability to converse is a beautiful thing. You're a great ambassador of the U.S. and I'm proud of you for repping it for me. Communication is always a good thing. The only thing that could possibly be up for debate is filming people who might not want to be filmed, but that's a whole other subject. Really though if there's anything worth filming with a selfie stick it's two people from different worlds having a conversation with smiles on their faces.

  19342. Oriental Pearl is really cute (very Kawaii) and fun to watch, thanks for your videos.

  19343. Annie Leondhart? Is dat u?

  19344. White people who refuse to be cultured and learn other languages so they can be more open minded and communicate better with others. Criticized. Racist.

  19358. From watching youtubers in Japan now for years I can see how it can be annoying but it doesn't seem to be often as youtube videos sometimes make it seem. I watch a lot of IRL streams and see interactions between residents in real time, i almost never see Japanese going "Wow you speak good Japanese" to clearly foreign youtubers. But at the same time they still treat you differently then someone who looks Japanese even if your born in Japan which is really sad. like you never belong because you don't look Asian. I'm so tired of people saying this isn't racism. it is. I mean Japan overall are some of nicest people in the world but I really wish they stop treating people different purely based on looks, this results in a massive amount of effort to gain their trust vs for example an Asian looking person moving to Japan and immediately being accepted as Japanese if you speak good Japanese. It's racism pure and simple. Overall i'd still love to spend time in Japan but I could never live there. I'm not a youtuber and being treated poorly because i'm a foreigner even if I speak fluent Japanese has pretty much completely demotivated me from learning anymore. I hear so many stories of real jobs in Japan not letting you stay at a job for long or never giving you promotions because your not Japanese and so on. I've loved Japan my whole life but I finally come to conclusion unless you can sustain yourself with a job as a youtuber or streamer, Japan is only best for vacations/tourism. not living in. Unless your lucky enough to look Asian and speak good Japanese then you'll be treated like a local. I think that they need to fix this problem if they want to try and help the workforce population issues by bringing people out-side, or else it'll never happen. I do want to retire some day out-side USA.I don't like how bad it's getting here. the western toxicity and hate that keeps getting worst. the horrible politics. Since Japan is no longer an option, I'm considering other countries like Tiawan and all, especially if cost of living is significantly lower and I can live a better retirement. I'm getting older and would like to figure out a way to get away with everything I'm dealing with now in USA. Everything has become my worst nightmare here, all my family are extremists to the fullest extend, every hateful conspiracy you can think of they support and they think i'm controlled by 5G towers and brainwashed because i got vaccines and i can't talk to any of them anymore, nearly everyone i know believes in this crap and they seem fully ready to go to war over this country backing Trump. I can't do it. I see nothing good happening anytime soon, i waited my whole life hoping to see my conspiracy loving family change their minds one day, finally realize error of their ways as they see their beliefs debunked over and over again and yet it's only gotten worst, they still this 9/11 is a hoax, that virus was a hoax, that election was truly stolen and far worst. It's embarrassing to go anywhere with them and they look up to see contrails in sky and claim its chemtrails by government. I just can't deal with this anymore.

  19370. I hate the 2:43 argument about colonialism. People has complaint that english was one of the main languages and now people complains that some people (native english speakers mostly, at least on YT) are learning different languages and learning about different cultures. They hate barriers between cultures but when there are efforts to shorten the barriers they complain.

  19371. I simply love your work. Keep up the good work.

  19372. I love ur dress😍 Great advice btw... I'll try to watch some chinese series with english subs😁

  19373. Congratulations to you both! Your wedding ceremony was beautiful! You are an absolutely stunning bride!

  19374. It's one thing to criticize but it is entirely something else to be openly mean. If you feel the need to degrade someone on the internet, you have issues that are in need of attention FAR more than you hate posting.
    1
  19375. I completely agree with what you said. Mostly with Chinese and Japanese, as although speaking is hard, writing with all the Hanzi/Kanji without peaking at a dictionary makes them even harder. I believe that for being considered a polyglot you really need a C2 level, so to be proficient, in all the languages you claim to be fluent in. That includes both oral and written proficiency then. For instance, I do know some languages, I have two mother tongues (Galician and Spanish) and I'm pretty fluent in English, but the next language I know French is just at a B2 level, so I wouldn't dare claim myself to be a polyglot. Thanks lots for the content and I hope more people are able to distinguish how they should properly learn a language.
    1
  19376. Yeah I’ve seen these types of kitkats a lot in Thailand and in S.Korea as well. Never tried it though. I do try the local delicacies though. Very curious about the Japanese ones! Savoury and sweet! I hope that everything is going fine Visa wise.

  19377. I have had people ask to take pics with me all over the world. I see it as a compliment.

  19378. Very informative! I wish I could explain Japanese like this to my coworkers when I was there. Sometimes it is hard to make Americans understand why people in Japanese do or say certain things, especially there is no English word for it.

  19379. You know how to write Chinese is very hard

  19401. Bizarre because, in the US here, everyone would recognize her immediately as either Japanese or Asian of some kind! (she is right many are ignornant, and will just assume...) It's sad how lonely one must be like this...nowhere in the world will anyone find you at home, only yourself...she is really beautiful and I hope she finds joy in that her uniqueness sets her apart from others even if it will be negative many times....

  19407. It's ALWAYS Mandarin...🥱 Mandarin is one of the top business languages and spoken around the world. Cantonese would be more impressive. Just 7,4% of foreigners actually learn and fluently speak cantonese.

  19413. When they say that..put your left hand out flat..the make a fist with your right hand and make circles in the air over your left hand and say, "Goma suru na"...i learned that over 25 years ago in japan...it means "don't put sesame powder on top(of your food to make it taste better)"..meaning...u r buttering me up/bullshitting me...and they will then say "EEEHHHHHHH!!!!" and will actually be surprised you know that shit!!!! :) You are welcome, Japanese are not going to teach u that one! luckily i had a good friend in the countryside in Japan :) peace from CHina.

  19424. I can speak intermediate Japanese, I’m terrible at reading and writing, but I can speak pretty good. Right now though I’m going through a slump after years in Japan and I wanted to watch your videos to remind myself of your attitude and how you just move forward and try to reframe the disappointment you might feel with being othered when people comment on your language skills etc and you seem confident with it. I need to remind myself to just keep going and disregard any negativity or dismissal of my ability or over emphasis of it.

  19431. Yea that bike system stinks. This was a few years ago, i wonder if it's been cleaned up by now or they still have all those piles of junk unworking bikes everywhere. And can you even just grab one and use it? Sounds like you were saying you have to pay for it and many of those bikes due to company not around anymore you can't even rent so literally no one can touch them? That's silly. Same the companies when go out of business doesn't have them donated to other companies or sold so they can be maintained by the active ones. Or at very least have someone scrap/recycle them,, ,should be worth something to someone willing to get rid of them if they allowed it? Like here in America we have scrappers everywhere where I'm at, like if anyone throws a busted bike ir TV or anything out by front trash these scrappers immediately see it and pick it up, likely to sell it for scrap. If china said hey these x bikes need cleaned up and scrapped, company no longer around and said people who take them to scrap yards can get paid x per bike, surely they would vanish quickly.

  19437. I ate at a Chinese restaurant in Japan. The owner was Chinese, and incredibly kind and funny. We spoke only in English while I dined, but when I payed and started to leave, I said 'thank you' in Japanese. His eyes widened and he slapped his hand on my shoulder. He kind of bent his knees and just looked me in the face so shocked and excitedly said "you speak Japanese?!?!" I told him I speak very little, lol! Jist simple phrases. I just thought it was kind of endearing that me making just the tiniest effort to speak the language of the country I was in would cause people to feel so excited about it.

  19450. I'm from Boston and I love Detroit and have friends there. However on a road trip to Chicago this summer I stopped in Detroit on the way and my car was almost stolen. They broke my window, busted up my ignition, it was a nightmare. But after that whole ordeal and getting my car fixed and being with my Detroit local friends my affinity for Detroit was restored again... it's a great place to have good friends and find good community. It has been getting better over the past decade and I think it's a really cool place.

  19452. Hi Anming! Is your You Tuber friend half Japanese? She doesn't look full Japanese. Just curious.
    1
  19453. I live in Belgium, so it's very difficult for me to meet Japanese people. But i really wanted to start learning japanese, and the pandemic crisis was not an excuse. I bought some books, I tried to work by myself but I needed more motivation, so I took an online private teacher, 1 hour per week. And the fact that I have to talk japanese with her, or try to guess the context of the sentence changes everything. When I will be more confortable, I'll try to find some japanese people online and try to speak with them in japanese (or english or french if they want to improve, like you showed in the video with the 30 minutes of a language and the other 30 minutes with another one). Even if it's online at first, before I got the chance to visit Japan, speaking even with mistakes is the best thing to do for me ! :-)

  19457. I’m near native in Korean and I’ve seen the polyglot on the cover speak it on the street to people in one video. I don’t think he can say he speaks it. He just used a few lesson 1 phrases like nice to meet you and thank you, and used them badly…
    1
  19458. Very interesting subject. Thank you for sharing. I'm so Polyglot that, drunk, in Germany I asked the bartender "Eins maekju bitte. German/Korean/German. Obviously I did not get my beer lol!

  19467. That point was too adorable
    1
  19468. It's obvious that the haters are just envious of something they know they will never achieve so it's better to make fun and hate. Trust me I know I'm envious of some people and hate them in ways, I'm also too lazy to even try to get the achievements that they have done and this is why I project my self hatred onto others. It's a sick mental reality with people. I know that there are many people that would not say any of what I did and just sugar coat things but come on people be truthful and honest and open vs quiet about things.

  19476. Again amazing channel. Really liking it. Would have been interested to hear him speak more languages though considering he can speak 7.

  19477. It's nice to see more people appreciate other cultures. Our own and other cultures are interesting. (Ignore those who remain ignorant.)

  19478. Many years ago when I was a univ student in England, I tried to share a house with local English students simply because this was the best way to improve my spoken English and understood their culture. I am glad to see more and more westerners nowadays can speak perfect Chinese and live in China as if they are not a laowai lol. BTW, sorry to hear you have been stuck in Japan not able to go to China as well as USA. I managed to move back to China from the UK more than a week ago and right now for my Day 10 quarantine in a nice hotel in Shanghai and my flight had around 35% who were the British people; I talked to some of them, they said China now allowed them to return if they could manage to get a sponsor (invitation letter) from a Chinese employer something like that in your case.
    1
  19479. It could possibly be the culture of the Chinese when they see the foreigners who are very good at their language. It’s, of course, totally opposite when comparing to the Chinese or the Asian people who could speak 3 European languages fluently, such as English, French and Spanish altogether although the logic behind that is the same.

If you have a chance, get us a online tour of Ikebukuro of both the east gate and west gate from quiet neighborhood Zoshigaya ,using the tram to hop into temples and parks and Sunshine, to the Chinese town of west side.

  19485. I wish to learn Japanese, because my father has Parkinson’s that’s affecting his speech, my father was stationed in Japan in1955, when I was born. He learned Japanese then. I hope to talk to him in the event that Parkinson’s affects his English. 2nd language is in different part of brain and sometimes it works . Wish me luck

  19486. It’s motivating. Idk where or why ppl think this is bad. I’m learning spanish and watching ur videos make me want to go harder with Spanish. U make me want to learn chinese

  19487. I think it would be hilarious if you put a Southern twang on either Japanese or Chinese. The results would be hilarious.

  19488. So happy for you both, I have been following your channel since the beginning. Congratulations on your marriage to Tommy.

  19489. Thanks for making this video, you're a huge inspiration and when I am settled and comfortable with my Golfing (aiming to become a pro) I will restart my Japanese learning, I never really stopped but it's been little bits here and there. I'll do a 30 day challenge too to get back into it. I've also been looking at homestays and coaching. I know there is a Golf scene in Japan so maybe I can combine the two in future! Who knows maybe I oculd meet you guys and teach you Golfing when I'm a pro :D

  19490. I love Japan. this is so fascinating!! is it true that they dont like Americans? i still love Japan and the people.
    1
  19491. The clip that you used of the guy claiming polyglots are spreading colonialism is totally wrong, colonialists made people of all countries learn English because they couldn't be bothered learning the local languages, learning local languages is quite the opposite and is integration on so many levels, I would take it as something to be respected.

  19495. I th think you hit on a major flaw in American lower grade education. Children thrive on affection and praise doesn't matter where they're from a hug hand shake high five gives anyone motivation and shows acceptance. To get the best work from anyone praise and acceptance motivates a person to do the best they can. A hug could remove the anxiety of possible failure allowing for attempts without fear of rejection.

  19498. The last scene reminds me of the Japanese train videos where the camera is mounted in the cab. I watch those to really see the countryside on a more personal basis. And today's quality of recording makes it seem like you're there. One video said that a place in northern Japan is supposed to be among the snowiest on earth.

  19510. Hi. Congrats you are becoming a bigger and bigger star with every video. Your friend Jasmine mada a similar video and her Halloween video only got 700 views. Are you surprised by your own success and do you think other YouTubers in Japan are still jealous.

  19511. I love your channel oriental pearl so much I hope you have fun

  19512. Well, he has lived 12 years in Japan? I see even chinese people speaking my mother tongue (portuguese) relatively well after that long. It is great he speaks japanese well, but over a decade? It should be expected right? I guess we're so used to people not trying to blend that when we see someone doing that it is somewhat surprising. 98% of all foreigners I have met over the years who were trying to speak portuguese make obvious mistakes and have that "give you away" pronunciation, even after a looong time, even french or italian folks. Americans are specially bad at speaking decent portuguese ffs

  19521. Very informing video! Thank you for speaking about this phenomenon. Sad to see people who look to capitalize on lies even among the language learning community. I'd like to add from my own experience regarding some of the said in the video though, particularly about learning languages "halfway" or "taking a shortcut". While polyglots, and I mean people who generally are able to speak more than 3 languages (I don't know the proper definition) are rare, people who are bilingual or even trilingual are much more common, especially among immigrants and native citizens of foreign countries, mostly developed countries. I was trilingual by the time I was a child since I had 3 different languages for different uses, Russian for speaking at home with my family, Hebrew for speaking with people in my country, and English for using media, that is TV, video games, movies, internet and etc. It's not a rarity among people who lived under the same circumstance of emigrating to a foreign country that is not in the anglosphere. But an important note mind here, these languages are used for different purposes with different groups of people and therefore are most likely not similar in the level of competence or comprehension. Talking to mom about your day at work isn't the same as filing a tax return form. In this case, we have to ask about the main goal of knowing a language, surely for a polyglot it might be a personal pursuit for self-development and curiosity but for most people it's for "getting around" and in such having conversations about politics, god, physics and etc is not so relevant as they're virtually never required to be able to write an essay or give a public speech, that is to learn the "proper" language. I wouldn't think that a native Chinese speaker from Canada, per se, who can't read in Chinese as someone who "doesn't really know" Chinese but I wouldn't also think that someone who learned English just to get a common job in the US is someone who learned English "halfway" even though they might not be able to really express their opinions about the presidential candidates.

  19529. I was just discussing this issue the other day with a Japanese friend and he was like "Do you really believe all those polyglots are real? Tbh their Japanese and French suck big time, they're probably fake (he's native in both, bilingual kid + English)". I couldn't say because I'm not sufficiently proficient at any of the 'rare' languages, but it's great that you put this out to see the light of day. Then again, YouTube like any other social media is simply a marketing tool where flashy stuff sells and actual quality is often overlooked.

  19532. I can barely talk with strangers in my own country, in my own language and here I find you doing it in a different country, in a different language. That increases my confidence, I'll improve myself. Thanks for that. (Also you are cute).
    1
  19533. I am personally okay with saying "thank you" after receiving compliment from others. Actually, many hipsters in China are getting used to conversations like this. But for the older generations, they might feel uncomfortable with it. So, that pretty much depends on the people you are talking to.

  19534. From now im yiur follower too.

  19535. I left a comment after watching one of Nico in China's video. I told her it had too much cinematography to it, drone shots, fading in and out, all rehearsed...I told her to make a video more like something you would send your mum back home and not like a NBC documentary. I told her to look at oriental pearl's videos. nothing rehearsed. all natural and raw. Nico politely answered back with a thanks but I think she was pissed off with my comment.

  19543. thank you so much for the content, as a non Japanese person, its really a eye opening video. And got one thing clear, it doesn't matter which country you live in, if you don't have basic facilities. And this homeless individuals are pretty smart and talented. I can't help right now however i will definitely share your videos.

  19550. I always found older people to be really easy to talk to in Japanese and in general. The whole it's better to be silent and not say the wrong thing fear that permeates Japanese society just completely goes away when they retire and they turn into friendly outgoing chatterboxes. The juxtaposition is really something to see.

  19553. I’m Chinese American and you keep doing you. Your Japanese rock star Lisa is beautiful and so are you. Let her know I said her chin is perfect and she’s truly beautiful. It’s so annoying when hatred is so apparent among all faces of earth. You have those that are envious and jealous for the both of you. PERIOD. Just ashamed we all can’t accept the fact that we’re all just unique and different. When they said both of you are ugly unattractive it’s truly a psychological problem that they’re bringing their insecure and negativity directly towards the both of you. So that way, they feel protected like Lisa said.
    1
  19554. It is so embarrassing that I am Japanese American but I sure can not speak Japanese like you can. Hats off to you! I loved the video.

  19564. I really love how polite people are.. I wonder sometimes if I would be happier in Japan. Isn't to say I'm not happy right now :) But it just is refreshing to see that. I would be bowing to everyone that bows to me! lol well I should ask huh: Do people still bow like that or is it becoming infrequent?

  19565. You'll definitely get a million. To speed it up, you should do some collaborations. I found your channel after watching ....Xiamia, your channel came as a suggestion, and after watching, I subscribed.

  19570. I travelled to china about 5 or 6 times, and never did learn the language. The only thing I had learned to say in Chinese was "I'm sorry, I don't speak any chinese". Seeing toddlers being able to speak better Chinese than me made me feel realy dumb... and I could have gotten SO much more out of my trips had I learned even basic conversational skills.

  19581. curious is you are pushing the wrong buttons in japan, like I wonder if a Japanese person would even get your videos in their YT feed. Great job exposing this. Wonder if you should interview regular Japanese folks that are not homeless and to see how they would comment on it, would they blatantly disregard it or even claim it doesn't exist?

  19612. No negative meaning to the word "Yankee"? lol! You've never been a New Yorker traveling in the South! My best incident is where I almost restarted the Civil War at a restaurant in Dallas, Texas. Had a guy call me a "Goddamn Yankee!" and I referred to him (and those nearby) and a "Brain dead, Red Neck, Inbred retarded Rebels.". The only thing that stopped them (and me) from tossing down is a Cop that came in the door at the "Goddamn Yankee" part and couldn't stop laughing at my retort walked me out of the restaurant. Good times. Good times.........

  19614. I grew up in Australia where the culture is very diverse.. yet there's still people who tell me "your English is so good!" and at this point I'm not sure if they are just pure racist and is looking down on any culture that is not white, thinking we aren't capable of speaking English or... It kinda makes sense for Chinese because of how difficult the language is and how most people leave China instead of go to China to live, so it really is a huge achievement to learn Chinese fluently, the cashier who didn't comment but said he was envious of your Chinese is so sweet (also you talking to Chinese cashiers in their language! He must have been so happy haha XD a lot of locals actually love to have a bit of a chat) and even more, if you can speak a dialect, Chinese people will often be even more loving towards you because they would feel like you're a relative (even if you're not xD) my mum always gets a bit emotional if she randomly bumps into a 老乡 from inner mongolia haha

  19620.  @OrientalPearl  At the start that was interesting and fun to see(Asian shock) but we now know you well enough, and it is your ability to ask questions and talk with people which you do very well that is also a good watch.
    1
  19621. Tbh I mean when I was little and I went to tamagawa yochien I didn’t stick out at all. I was the only American in my class, but I mean there were 5 other Americans in the grade. It just depends on the area ur in. Near Tokyo or the military base… seeing a foreigner isn’t something unique at all. I moved away when I was like 7 or 8, but I mean I still have some American friends who stayed there throughout school.

  19624. You're so nice by not naming names and it is so true. I saw this one video of this Polyglot who was getting schooled by another younger polyglot that was just blowing him/her away and it was almost like an epic fail video rather than anything.
    1
  19625. it really is important to receive feedback and proper criticism. Hellotalk is a helpful app for this sort of feedback and assistance. Good job speaking so well with them!

  19626. That is so cool I didnt know there were that many chinese people in Japan! Im myself chinese and always wanted to go live there. I was wondering what part of Japan are you visiting/ residing in? Thank you~ :)

  19627. Tell her don’t ask the government about keeping citizenship... just don’t say anything. That’s what most people do

  19628. Thanks!

  19629. You have a really good TV or radio voice when speaking Japanese, just has that nice enunciation with an accent. I don't know what it is but Americans seem to have an easier time with speaking and not letting the accent be confusing. My English accent isn't even particularly strong but it's still very noticeable when speaking in Japanese. Even still sometimes don't quite understand the odd word when I say it lol.
    1
  19630. Umm im 15 turning 16 in summer but I'm trying to learn Japanese I'm a native English speaker and I've always been interested in learning new languages just don't know where to start. I don't want to start and then do everything wrong and end up offending someone on accident so do you guys have any tips please it would really help. Also, is it too late for me to start? Like if I start trying to learn the language right now is there still a chance of me ever being fluent?

  19631. There...the perfect channel to learn both chinese and japanese🤣🤣🤣

  19638. It's nice seeing Shinagawa station, missed seeing it. I changed trains there almost daily on the way to school. At least Japan seems like a nice place to be during this current situation. Stay safe and look forward to more videos to see how things are going there!

  19642. You are"" Amazing"" 👏

  19643. It's awesome to speak fluently like that. Chinese and Japanese! Meiji shrine and Imperial Garden are great places to visit too. Just east of Meiji is Takeshita Street. That is where many shops and younger crowd hangs out. You would be a big hit there. Keep walking from there and you end up in Omotesando Hills where the hi-end stores are.

  19656. woww.. im so jealous that you know how to talk in 3 languages. I'm learning Japanese too, and I kinda know Chinese by nature (just by hearing though, I don't know a single letter in Chinese, the reason why it's hard for me to learn Kanji), but I am a Malay girl. So its like I can speak standard Malay, Malay Brunei and English fluently. My Chinese and Japanese are bad though.. 😅
    1
  19657. This was a heartwarming vid. I find parallels with how the elderly are viewed and respected in my society. How the latitude given makes some of them rude, but makes others really shine, like the lady with the hat. Also btw is it diggy3625 with you in white shirt?

  19658. Dam gurl....your Mandarin is so good.

  19660. Congratulations!! Great Job🙂
    1
  19661. Congratulations on your graduation! How were you able to pull that off? Were you allowed to go back to China for it, or did they just grant it to you or what? Good luck on the job hunt!
    1
  19662. Now that’s awesome. You’ll get a job that I hope turns in to a career.
    1
  19663. I believe you, I used to make videos and sometimes they took even longer, but I am happy you seem to find it fulfilling after all, I really admire your capacity to be so rich in languages and have a job and put a ton of work for videos, they are fun actually, thanks

  19676. Take care of yourself my friend. Please upload videos
    1
  19677. The most shocking thing for me is you bought cereal. Cereal in Japan is highway robbery for the amount you get xD. Super impressive how you can switch so fluently. Currently I'm learning Japanese (lived in Osaka for a bit) and some Korean on the side but I doubt I'd ever get to the level where I can switch that fluently :P.
    1
  19678. Loveeeeee it!
    1
  19679. Its true. I speak Dutch as my mother tongue, also fluent German without an accent. Fluent English with a slight accent. And i can have small basic conversations in French and Hungarian, fact is that i am still a beginner with these 2 languages. And still people are amazed by it and think i speak it fluently. Same as your explanation, they only know a litle bit of many languages.

  19680. Chinese is so cool, I suck at it though.

In the middle of communication , there were a lot of chinese so i also tried to communicate with them using google translation . Everyone who talked with me was really kind for me and i hope to communicate without google translation

  19705. Sharehouse is a ripped off. But I know there is no choice for short term visa visitors unless you have a very deep pocket. I wonder why the university doesn't provide student housing for students or is it too expensive?
    1
  19706. for a native english speaker, learning to speak japanese...as in saying words in general, is very easy since japanese has a much much lower amount of overall sounds in the language than english... Now, understanding situations and context..or god forbid, kanji.....that;s where the fun comes in. :)
    1
  19707. The future of this channel looks promising
    1
  19708. Most people I met from North America are honest and humble,and have a sense of shame.Chinese modesty doesn't mean humble,it is a kind of sophistication.Because they are really used to doing and accepting serious heartless things.Says a mainland chinese,me.

  19709. The greatest hoax in the world. All governments complicit: experimenting lock down of people: how far they can reach. Here in Italy we see: very, very far with police forces more violent than ever. The real virus is just the excuse.

  19741. that was so true! people going on omegle saying "hello" in 5-6 different languages and they consider themselves as polyglots. thats like playing 3 chords in guitar thinking you are Hendrix. i look up to you and i hope i reach your level one day.
    1
  19742. Oh my God thank you so much for saying this. Every time I see those videos of people in a store or something filming themselves speaking A1 level of whatever language I feel like I have to lie down in a dark room for a while. Now I know people are rightfully outing the fraudsters.

  19761. Anming, I wouldn't compliment you much if I were around 'cause I'm relatively more strict than the average Chinese folks when it comes to language speaking skills lol. But honestly your conversational Mandarin is fairly good. Have you taken the HSK just to see how good your written comprehension is? Try HSK6 : )

  19762. Congratulations young lady! That's awesome! 👍

  19763. Food right into the trash! ;_; sorry you dropped it. Also, i would like to think, that the person following earlier in the video, was maybe curious? That you speak Chinese, but either way it's pretty creepy. Stay safe!

  19778. 很喜歡你學語言的出發點！ Due to some sort of stereotypes and political stuff, human are always dividing apart. 言語の力で離れた人はまた集まってきて、本当に素晴らしいです！ ずっとそう思っています！ 這也是我一直在學新語言的原因。

    1
  19786. i don’t live in china but i occasionally go back to visit my distant relatives. we tend to react more if the foreigner is speaking accurate chinese, with all the correct and clear tones. i hv seen too many foreigners who try too hard and all i hear are the pronunciation but with no or non accurate tones. those kinds we tend to give the “u tried” face instead. her on the other hand has really accurate tones that almost makes her sound like a local, hence all the surprised faces
    1
  19787. You are like my cousin in Japan...Or. Italy. He's 6ft+ and has red curly hair (can't miss him).

  19789. How do you manage not to mix up two languages?
    1
  19790. i just want to say how awesome you are doing and how encouraging you are, you have help me find better ways to learn not be afraid of tackling a language and pressing on no mater how hard it is but also find hope. im never giving up on Japanese, i remember first meeting a person from Japan, she was my teacher when i was in the 2nd grade and told all about Japan so i will continue to explore and dive deep into the Japanese language, and also Chinese and Korean.

  19803. I cannot wait to hear what college level language study sounds like. If you already amaze so many people with the level you are speaking, I cannot even imagine what is coming next 😊💓
    1
  19804. You are so beautiful. And you seem really nice.
    1
  19805. I've tried to use memrize and duolingo but I can't stay committed to clicking through vocabulary list. I'm 10 days away from finishing unit 1 of pimsleur korean and its helped me practice dialogue. Coupled with grammar books, reading and listening practice I've advanced so much faster!
    1
  19806. I'am amazed by your determination and courage.
    1
  19807. your japanese is so fluent, would you say your chinese is better or japanese? my speaking is terrible. 内戦って言葉も分かってる、すごい！it's unfortunate that we had to cancel our trip to japan for the spring break :( it's not any safer now here in vancouver canada lol great video as always, keep it up :)
    1
  19808. It definitely takes a special kind of person to dedicate 6 hours per day to language study. That kind of drive is rare. Maybe not always because people aren't willing or capable of it, but also because they just don't realize that's what it takes. They study 1-2 hours and think that's enough to put them on the fast track to fluency. So it's good you're telling people what it really takes. If you want to learn "quickly" you're going to have to sacrifice.
    1
  19809. The fact that you're based in Ikebukuro for the time being gives me extreme nostalgia for when I went to Japan lol. We were at an airbnb out there maybe a mile or so from Ikebukuro station? There was a real nice soba place right around the corner. Unrelated, but I made friends with a fellow IT guy out there and now we swap programming horror stories in each others language- to tie in with what you mention about learning languages.

  19812. What happens is I get sick of all the entire sett-ups - it's either : Restaurant scene ordering food Shopping to buy things they don't even want Walking food and other item outdoor markets along the streets Mall walking shopping or eating ** they've purposely steered the conversation from the get-go knowing what their common/standard responses are It's why I stopped watching most of them When a guy says he's learned a language fluently in 3 weeks (but they always suffix that with saying they are always still learning ) thus releasing them of responsibility when they screw up It's all just so scammy ...

  19821. Your speaking in Chinese is far better than speaking in Japanese Chinese one is like Native Japanese is a too formal

  19822. Nice.

  19825. What inspired me to improve my Chinese was seeing people like you laoshu and 小马nyc go out in the street and speak to people not a bunch boring guidelines on which books to use on and on…

  19826. If you can go to another country and get by pretty easily, then you know the language well enough. Nobody can learn 100% of any language. My dad speaks seven languages, and while he's stronger in some than others, he can still get by in any of them.
    1
  19827. Great work , & great video.
    1
  19828. Always great seeing you upload. Hope you enjoy your weekend. Also it's crazy cause recently my brother came to me. Asking if you or another YouTuber, which I won't name. Cause I don't like name dropping. Asked me if you guys actually speak Mandarin, cause apparently people somewhere on Facebook. Apparently thinks you guys can't speak the language and it's fake. 🤣

  19831. I am consuming all videos on language learning and I spend most of my day reading in foreign languages. Those videos are very inspirational for me. I have no intention to follo any linguist, unless the videos are fun to watch.

  19832. Wow, as a Chinese I envy you ❤ My uni actually lies a few blocks away from Fudan, and I’m also applying an international relation master hhh😂 Love your video, totally feel the vibe🎉

  19833. It was hard for you to get so fluent in mandarin? I can write it and read it but conversation it's still dificult for me, more if it's with a native speaker. I love your videos! Thank you for being so awesome!

  19834. As always another interesting look into your life overseas. Be careful with all those goodies, we don't want you to lose your girly figure. Stay safe and see you on the next episode!

  19835. That concept where appreciating a compliment is seen as arrogant is the exact same in Irish culture. There’s a long standing adage that you simply can’t compliment an Irish person. We often highlight the contrast with American culture where compliments are received with agreeable responses.

  19836. Im not a picky eater I just don't eat 3 common food. Meat rice and cheese. People call me weird for that lol

  19837. yeah still foreigners who can speak Japanese are less. but they are getting increasing. I had an American co-worker who speaks Japanese fluently. I hope many foreigners can speaks Japanese increase more and more.

  19841. I can name some tooo! especially the one who always wears hats! I know he was fake when he spoke my native Language Filipino. He just converse with the person, "where are you from? Why are you here?", etc. He can not even elaborate on the answers and make a topic out of the answers he gets. If he was asked a question that he does not know the answer, he changes topic. I once subscribed to him but after that incident (talking in Filipino), I unsubscribed. I know he is fake. I still see you polyglot who always wears hats. You have made a living out of deceiving people. I am happy being a bi-lingual (English and Filipino). I am still contemplating to add Japanese. What scares me is the writing hahaha.
    1
  19842. People who hate on polyglots are just jealous they can't do it.

  19843. Love ya work lol be fun as that.😊

  19844. I think a lot of vloggers in Japan tend to be really miserable there and have a negative opinion,it really distorts a lot of things about Japan and living there. I'm always watching videos thinking "If you hate it that much then why not move back home?". There are also the ones who feel self important and want to preach to people how to act in Japan. You're right, people are people and just acting normally in Japan and being human will do you just fine. It's not really super strict at all and plenty of people are loose with the rules. Some things people put out as social taboos are not even all that big an issue. I guess it comes from not really having many Japanese friends and only being with other foreign vloggers so all their views become this weird hugbox of opinions and what they think is important. Finding friends in Japan will generally depend on your interests and what you like to do. In my case I'm a fan of idols so I began going to shows,found some groups I liked so attended regularly. At first people would kind of ignore me because they were nervous of this random white guy showing up but once they saw me speaking Japanese a couple of fans approached me. After that happens a bunch of other regulars approach and then you become accepted as part of the group, it's pretty much been the same pattern for various groups I follow. Now I'm part of the LINE group chat and included in a lot of activities,invited out and so on. It's easier to make friends when you have something in common.
    1
  19845. The hard working and even the laid back japanese citizen deserve all the happiness in the world, i hope one day japan has some of the lowest statistics for depression, suicide and the general feelings of being overwhelmed and/or over worked. theyre a lovely people with a beautiful country whose advancement's in technology have changed and continue to change the world.

  19847. Very cool channel. Love your stories and how you narrate them. Sub'd!
    1
  19848. Yeah, I guess having people react to you can get a bit annoying, but since you like making new friends & speaking to different shop owners & such you’d probably have to approach reactions as an occupational hazard 😄. A positive one 👍. I’m sure your close friends are used to you speaking 3 different languages by now.

  19849. I would have listened more . Lol

  19858. I can’t believe people say such hateful things about you. I am Russian living in USA, I stumbled upon your other video and had to follow you because often times between knowing Russian, English and understanding Ukrainian and being from Lithuania, I have come across many situations just like you walking around and people speaking about you. Pretty funny when you can catch them especially if they say something bad. 😅 either way! I followed your channel because you are unique and pleasant to look at and hear plus you’re intelligent and that is admirable! Keep going 😬💕

  19868. If there are people dumb enough to get so close to a bison to be gored by it, I'm not surprised that there are other people who will also try and get close to other animals that can be aggressive. Also, I would like to point out that Chinese-American food technically is authentic in its own way. It was created by the Chinese diaspora with the ingredients they had available in the US. It's different, yes, but still very much Chinese.
    1
  19869. Haha binge watching your videos right now as I’m learning Japanese . Thx for the tips about adjusting to cultural differences . I know I speak for many people ,but I’ve taught myself a decent amount of Japanese and still feel like I suck lol .

    1
  19874. Thank you for your advice. I will try my best.
    1
  19875. I will return to China to work as soon as the boarder opens. I want to use my time in China to practice. However it seems that I am forced to use so many apps now, I dont have as many options to engage in legitimate day to day conversations. Have you or anyone else noticed this, what is a good solution?

  19878. That unshaded bulb in your room. Doesn't it bother you? Since you are from the Midwest, is redbull considered as pop?
    1
  19879. I can understand your situation. It is actually frustrating to be told you are good at one thing over and over again, that simply shows low expectation. You may feel being treated as an outsider to some extent. It's still unusual of a white girl to master Chinese language to your level therfore the reaction. China needs to open up, I am sure you are one of them to contribute. For this reason I appreciate your effort for making language videos. You promote the positive side of China on youtube, which is rare as well.

  19886. I really want to visit japan but just for trip or on vocation only😅. I don't want to live there forever. I think in japan they're very strict. But Japan is also a good place for you to visit 🤗
    1
  19887. Don't over think too much. Even I would walk in and walk out, especially when I see so many people and some of them not wearing masks LUL joking aside, most likely a coincidence. Can't say what you experienced before is the exact same case as this, but always stay safe.

  19888. Japan is great nation

  19890. Wowww you're so amazing 🥺 wish I could speak like you fluently and travel
    1
  19891. Everybody is free to have an own perspective. There are those people who are into many things at the same time and others that are more methodical learning one after another. With learning languages it's the same. I , personally, object a bit to that kind of polyglot approach of gathering as many languages as possible and turning language learning into a kind of ego-show. Learning languages shouldn't turn into a tick list either. Mastering only one foreign language at a high level is already a tremendous achievement, and communication should be about communicating relevant and enriching issues that should somehow go beyond shallow smalltalk. This is what I think but l'm not the person either to judge what's relevant and what isn't. Learning different languages is something really enriching and I love to be able to switch from one to another among the five that I can speak somehow at a medium or high level. I keep noticing that I live different personality traits when I jump from one to another. But again, everyone should have the freedom to explore this wonderful world his/her own way.

  19909. My worst vacation was in Western Washington State. I was on a RV trip. We could not find a place to stop overnight to sleep. It was 3 AM and everywhere was full including rest stops. Finally at 4:30 AM we found a State Park and pulled in. At 6 AM the Park Ranger woke us up pounding on the door. We didn’t pay. We paid and left only to run into a wind storm, a tornado and then a brush fire started from lightning right where we were staying and helicopters were flying over with buckets of water. We went to stay at a mountain RV resort to fish. We got there , opened the door to encounter a bear. The lake was dried up. Nothing to do. I turned on the radio. It was 9/11. But what an experience YOU are having! Stay safe and keep us informed please. I am pleased to hear you can stay for a while. 💜

  19916. you are really sweet

  19917. At this rate your channel is going to take off! Which I find more than deserved and due ... especially considering too exaggerating and misleading similar content creators (and finally a female). Hope you do not forget the chidren of the first hour. And that marriage proposal is still up-to-date! 😉😁😘

  19918. I'm still detecting an accent but very impressive nonetheless... This kinda reminds of when I asked a Japanese person for directions in as perfect Japanese as possible and I got an answer in Japanese... I did not understand a word of it... LOL

  19926. You are living a part of my dream! I almost did International Relations when I studied Japanese, but I was also heavily involved in music and did too much at once. I love your perspective and how you represent yourself abroad! Also, I’m from Wisconsin, so I appreciate that you are from the Midwest. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!! ❤

  19928. I was Okinawa for over a year and when I went out in the city everyone was very kind to me. I went out all by myself and I didn't speak the language but tried to learned a few words and that was all I needed. Before you ask no, I am not a tall white guy in fact I am short and of Latin decent so I was not a comedy to them. I loved my time there and would go back in second because of the people and how king they are.
    1
  19929. What do you think about using something like Rosetta Stone to learn Chinese and Japanese? I've been using it for Chinese...and I amazed by the amount of Chinese i was able to acquire. I am in no means fluent in Chinese nor can i write much, but when you have no other options i think its a great tool!

  19970. I really like japanesepod101. I had a premier membership there for a couple of years. Nowhere near being fluent, yet, haven't been consistent enough. Want to switch over to Spanish, though, seems a bit more useful here in Los Angeles.

  19971. Imagine being able to speak Japanese with girls. It doesn't even matter if the girls are Japanese. Just, you can speak Japanese with a girl, how cool is that?! It just sounds so cute!
    1
  19972. it's difficult to respond when you dont know what they are saying xD (they tend to seek for help from someone who can understand) i did something similar, then i reveal i know some japanese then they are like "why you bully me by speaking english if you know japanese 🤯"

  19984. Create YT channel just to criticize other channel is not genuine and original... They just seat on the chair filming themselves, watching and throw critics, think they are better... That was not cool. Try to speak 3 languages at the same. And that fantastic.

    1
  19994. LOL, I always thought it was funny being called a Yank by the Limeys when I was in the Army. It never offended me, and or anytime I was in the south. Thats because my Great, Great, Great Grandfather was Marshal Vandergriff. He enlisted as a soldier in the Union Army at the beginning of the American Civil War, in 1860. He was 14 and at the time they wouldn't let him march and shoot in the front lines. He ended up being the Horse Steward for General Sheridan. The horse re took care of and attended was a black quarter horse named Rienzi, after the town of Rienzi Mississippi. Sheridan renamed it Winchester later because the horse carried him from Winchester Virginia to Cedar Creek to reinforce Union units and that battle was known as the Civil Wars (Midway). Never again was the Confederate forces able to push north in the Shenandoah valley in an attempt to capture Washington DC. So now my home town where I was born and raised is Cheyenne Wyoming. My Grandmother on my Mothers side is the ancestral link to Marshal. They came from Fairmont West Virginia, which was Fairmont Virginia at the beginning of the war. So yea, I'm a Yankee from Yankee stock, and to the British Empire, if you are American then you are also a Yankee, which tends to piss off the people in the southern United States, because to this day a good number of them wishes that it was the Confederate States, and to call them a Yankee is like Republicans and Democrats calling each other the wrong party name. LOL interesting how you got on that topic in Japan.
    1
  19995. I'm currently learning japanese. I love japan.
    1
  19996. That is the nice shared house tour, but where did you hang your laundry in rainy days? I left my home in Shanghai in 2017 for California, United States for my study, and I found very interesting that I went to your country to study, and you went to my hometown for your study! Well, I think it is great because people from China and the United States can learn from each other.
    1
  19997. Well, you can film but you aren't supposed to upload unless you had their permission to film in the first place. But even Japanese youtubers do it. It's potentially illegal so all the bigger companies that risk lawsuits mosaic... everything. Even my friends who aren't likely to actually get sued or anything often mosaic kids. Most people don't seem to mind, but it's good manners to be careful when filming faces. Obviously you asked so it's okay, but people filming should know it CAAAN be a sore issue, so best ask permission.

    1
  20020. I envy you. You look like you're having so much fun out with friends in Japan! And your Japanese is better than mine. I have a long way to go on it. And you are right about a lot of false info about life in Japan. I had several people take photos of me on the trains in Nishinomiya. Out in Matsumoto and Omachi I had people coming up to me to try out their English and take more photos. I felt like a Rock Star! I'll be moving to Omachi soon so vids like yours are priceless to me right now. Keep the vids of Real Japan coming!

  20035. Hello Anming, because of you and your videos, I pursued learning Chinese (self taught), watching your videos and other youtubers that speak Chinese makes me REALLY MOTIVATED!!! thank you ❤️❤️❤️
    1
  20036. I relate to this 100% after 4 years in Japan. The NiHonGo JyOuzU gets old really quick and can feel patronizing but at this point I think of it as an NPC line programmed into a vast majority of Japanese people in the rare mind blanking chance they meet a foreigner (who speaks Japanese). What’s really weird is my students or graduates (trying to make conversation I’m guessing by) saying “wow your Japanese has gotten better!” Sigh. Thanks I guess. Your positive spin on it though is refreshing. That mans big smile when you ordered the boba tea tho. You make Chinese seem so interesting. Hearing you speak it makes me want to learn too :) Why are you being so modest! She called you out! Haha

  20039. I’m an expat in Japan. I feel like some languages just suit certain people’s personalities and I feel like you seem well suited to Chinese, like it seems so natural the way you speak and interact. I feel like Japanese is a bit more stiff it feels like to me but I don’t know Chinese at all so

  20048. i can tell youre fluent in japanese. but your nihonggo is too formal to use in casual conversation. but you say youre basically shy and all.. well.. but i liked your other video with a half japan black american. she has a great vibe. you should hang out with her more often. or maybe with that rickshaw guy too

  20051. ハロウェイン→ハロウィン this is not right or wrong but I think the title “can you~” was translated too literally into Japanese. “ 日本人と日本語で話せるかな？渋谷ハロウィン編 would’ve been something more natural in Japanese. No hate but it was hard for me to know what video is about in Japanese title

  20058. I think tutoring IELTS Speaking or TOEFL Speaking can offer you a higher rate, especially you have a good command of Chinese. And you don't need to worry about classroom management since the students are better motivated and are clear about what they really want.

Virus is real, sanctions are scary and not good for the people. The big punch is already in the making and its not the virus at all. Watch some episodes "Black Mirror" its actually not far away.

  20079. Do not go around Europe at easter , I was once in Wienna and then Budapest at easter first Wien but holidays! Thought communist Hungary wouĺd be atheistic , Ha, why so many people at train station? They where all going away for easter...Italy is the same have I heard and same for every country I imagine. Do not travel /visit when there is a big holiday on. Midsummet might be nice to experience in Sweden but we all quit work and everything is closed.

  20080.  @OrientalPearl  You are most welcome. It was supposed to say Midsummer, but autocorrect. Hope this Easter is finding you well. Discovered your channel just a day ago. Very interesting stuff. I only speak european languages myself, and you are doing great with these Asian ones, much impressed! Stay safe in these troublesome times, now that even Anak Krakatoa is erupting!

Could you give us a short overview e.g. start 2015... reached N4 at 20XX and so one? Since I am working full time too, it would be great to have someone I can compare my progress to. :)

    1
  20099. Thank You for this one, it was quite enjoyable. Never apologize for upcoming "home videos". There are many here in america that are IGNORING the danger, and it makes me sad AND angry. Keep the content flowing, some of us really do enjoy what you have to say
    1
  20100. You looked gorgeous in that wonderful kimono. When my sister-in-law was introduced to her in-laws, my mother and myself, she tried so hard. My mother loved to eat pork so my sister-in-law cooked pork for my mother and herself. For myself and my brother, her husband to be, she cooked beef. Both my brother and myself have an intolerance to pork. Unfortunately my future sister-in-law cooked the beef and pork at the same time in her large oven. Of course there was cross-contamination and she actually gave my brother and myself food poisoning. I have never laughed do much whilst being so uncomfortable. My sister-in-law was devastated at first but I think my reaction and my brothers put her mind to rest and it's made a good family story. I hope your family introductions were less eventful😉

  20115. Funny experience - At my Japanese language school in Tokyo, I wanted to go on a trip with a few other students on the weekend and had to inform our school’s coordinator. He said that he couldn’t allow my friend and I to go if there were boys going too. 😑 We we’re 25 years old. lol We went anyway and had the best time. 🥳 Also, I totally agree about pimsleur. It helped me build a foundation for the language and sentence structure and pronunciation. I recommend it also.

  20120. Wow, I prefer focused to your English pronunciation and spelling,, I can hear the vocals and your lips clearly although I'm HoH (Hard of Hearing),, mostly, I cannt recognize what native speakers said because there are a missing word in his/her spelling and pronounciation, in example when you spell 'place' at 8:40 , mostly I hear 'please',, I'd think your english is clearest for me so far,, I can watch your video repeatedly to attune my HoH-ear when hearing sounds in english,, (anyways, I'm still learn, and I'm sure some of my grammars are wrong,, and I'm open for critics,, I'musing social media to learn grammar via texting, and talk in real life for train my spelling and pronunciation,,)

I just wanted to ask if you can tell us the areas in Tokyo that you go to in future videos because I like looking at the background and especially where you bought food like that takoyaki.

  20139. Congratulations! I wish you and your husband good health and happiness. I just recently discovered your YouTube channel--its great! I admire your outlook on life and what you have done with your life in Japan and China. (I'm from Detroit originally as well. My wife and I now live in west central Florida). Best wishes.

  20140. Love this

  20141. U r talented in languages! and I could not agree with u more! However, more and more (South East) Asians are learning Putonghua instead, especially those sale reps in cosmetics, pharmacy, etc businesses, unnecessary for those Chinese to learn even to greet locals when they visit other Asian countries, which I wouldn't do. Don't get me wrong, I like the Chinese.

  20152. Peral the production quality of your videos are light years ahead of your earlier ones. Enjoying them more than ever.
    1
  20153. I enjoy your content! Since you are going to be in Japan another 3 months, any chance of a video with some history or info on the tactile paving that we saw in the video, as the developer Seiichi Miyake came up with the concept in 1965 and it has now become a worldwide aid for the visually impaired. Although most people I have spoken to think that it is something to keep you from slipping at crosswalks. Thanks!

  20154. I remember see footage of the 2011 quake and there must of been thousands of people at a train station and all they done was crouched down and waited silently. No one screemed or ran. Amazing.

  20163. Did you honestly just call the stranger a “handsome man”?! You gave an awesome response when the lady told you to wear your mask.....like seriously it’s not gonna anyone if you don’t have it on immediately. Calm now everyone😂
    1
  20164. Just take it easy. I started following you only a month or two ago and you had only few thousand followers. Now your running close to 20k in very short time. Just pour your heart but also make "funny prank style videos" also. Eventually you got so much followers that even poorest videos get viewers :) Greetings from Scandinavia.

  20192. The noodle shoot pipe, I cannot help but wonder why there are missing numbers (4, 9, 14, 19) though the pipes seems to be bundles of three. The missing numbers, is it because they are bad luck or they have special treatment somewhere in the restaurant?
    1
  20193. okay but like after the photo they gonno post it on fb or instagram with the caption with white person who can speak chinese i;m just curiosity dont take this the wrong way

  20194. True, good polyglot doesn't have time nor interest showing of chitchat as how good she/he is. They study languages, they work on upkeeping higher level. Use it or lose it works on languages.

  20209. I found some of the Chinese breakfast foods odd, some I liked but others were oily and I though "this is not how I want to start my day". I found that Chinese food is almost never sweet or what qualifies as sweet is not that sweet but the drinks are overly sweet almost undrinkable.

  20222. I feel for him. There is fat-shaming in many cultures (it's like the last socially accepted prejudice), including in America. However I think it's harder for big people in Asian cultures because the Asian body type tends to be slimmer or more petite. That's a generalization with lots of exceptions, but European descendants often inherit a bigger body type, so in Western countries fat people don't stand out as much. (I'm an Asian who lives in Hawaii, so get to see many different types of cultures.) Kudos to Sam for being determined to live his life and try to rise above it! That's the best attitude to have.

  20231. You mentioned that speaking and making mistakes infront of people doing output is necessary for learning a language. What is your opinion on Stephen Krashen's philosophy of comprehensible input, and minimum output?

  20232. This is sooo cool bro !

  20233. Thank you for giving some insights on what’s outside Tokyo. It would be great to have the opportunity to get some first hand experience but I’ve accepted that it won’t be an option for quite some time so it’s very nice to see your perspective.

  20234. 教英语还不错，挺有耐心

  20235. It's funny how many Japanese mistake you for Russian. Maybe there are more Russians in Japan than I imagine. Though with Russia so close, it makes sense.

  20237. That comment she recalled about the chicken and chicken coup really got to me. Whom ever that was that made that comment doesn't understand how the world works. Yes physically this woman wouldn't necessarily Mach up with the traditional physical structure of a typical Japanese woman but the way our society works today is that where you're born is what nationality you are. You can ultimately apply for and be granted a citizenship for any country in the world if you go through the proper channels but for all intensive purposes where you were born will be natural or native land/home It's horrible to see something like this and to know that some people are made to feel that they don't belong no matter where they go. Unfortunately there does exist the small minded people that can't see anything other than what's in front of them and can't accept anything that's even a little different to the norm. I want to say good luck and keep going to anyone that finds their self in this situation or similar 😊

  20238. Your boyfriend has very good parents very attentive people, I hope he realize you are the Oriental Pearl.

  20239. Pearl, you're a smart, brave woman. And that's what the world needs. Communication and listening and learning, that's what we all need. Only ignorant people think we don't, as humanity.

  20249. 残念。I would have been really interested to hear his unfiltered opinions :D I imagine it would be quite interesting to talk to this guy. But I understand that you want to keep controversy and politics away from your content. It also works better with YouTube policies I guess.

  20258. On August 3rd will be my 25 wedding anniversary and on November 24th will be 29 years I have been with my husband.

Blessings to both of you 🙏❤️ 🌹

  20259. He seemed very cool so I definitely subbed

  20260. I really want to say that your Japanese videos have been so inspirational for me! I've been majoring Japanese for almost three years, and your content fits beginners and those who have studied the language for a while. If possible, have you considered separating the subtitles so people can turn them on and off? I would love a feature for that to test my listening skills more! Regardless, thanks so much for these videos! I always find myself looking forward to your uploads >w<

  20261. Finnish and Japanese are both agglutinative languages. They use independent suffixes (agglutination). Their words contain stems to which one or more suffix is added.  Taberaremasu is an example. Indo-European languages are not agglutinative, that's a big reason why learning Japanese for an English speaker is difficult.

  20269. I took Chinese for 6 years in middle/high school and was only around B1, /maybe/ B2 when I graduated. Legitimately thinking that people were getting fluency in a month, when I was still stumbling through my senior year speaking exams... it was not a great feeling. I'm in college now, trying to teach myself my grandparents' native language, and I have to remind myself constantly that it's normal to struggle, and I'm not stupid for not getting it perfectly right away.

  20273. Hi, I really like your videos; you have great interaction with people and genuine spoken Chinese in this format is almost invaluable for listening practice. Would you perhaps consider adding Chinese Subtitles to your videos too? I can totally understand if it's too much effort though - your upload schedule is impressive so you must be busy haha.

  20284. Speaking Chinese in Japan?
    1
  20285. I think there is something in human nature to exaggerate about someone’s (or someone’s children’s 😏) language skills. I have noticed that when people want to make others into thinking they’re highly educated they usually claim to speak several languages (I tried it too some time ago 🙄) even though they might have only studied them at school or know only very basic things but couldn’t hold a meaningful conversation. Some sources say that lying about language skills in a CV is quite often, that also proves it’s not just a matter of a few fake youtube polyglots. Maybe in some cases those who have never actually spoken with foreigners have distorted perception about what it takes to speak a foreign tongue successfully or maybe because linguistic education was an important element of education in noble families in the past and nowadays it remains perceived as a trait of the elite, and people want to be seen as special - I don’t know.

  20289. Hi! I'm now in your channel and I don't know that you have a video where you talk for what you learn of Chinese and Japoneses but I would love if you had some video about that, I want and I'm learning Korean, and I would also like to learn Chinese and Japanese, so if you have it or you don't, it would be great for me a great help the truth. I am Spanish and I am also learning English and watching your videos helps me a lot, thank you very much for your videos 😍💜

  20296. Can someone like, tell me who these fake ppl are and explain why/how they're fake? I mean I know that you don't wanna call people out, but I'm kinda nervous now. I watch polyglot videos all of the time, and now I'd like to know who I should/shouldn't be watching. It would mean a lot to be to know who is real and who is not? And if not, please at least tell me who the real polyglots are then.

  20308. I wish I could speak at least one other language fluently. I ended up traveling to multiple countries and trying to learn each language. Completely different languages make it difficult to connect information. Oddly enough, my recall is terrible, but improves greatly when trying to speak a different language, as in I can recall Swahili or Japanese when I'm trying to speak Spanish or Mandarin and vice versa. You're right about the jack of all trades. I can't do much more than extremely basic greetings, buy things, etc.

  20309. Props to Matt who is so passionate about languages that he made up a new word "slowler". That being said, thanks to both of you for enlightening us on the subject. Keep up the good work.

  20313. Hey Anming. How's it going? It looks like things are slowly improving in China regarding Covid 19 and you may be able to return soon. Unfortunately that is not the case in Italy (and other European countries), and Iran. Certain states in the US (so far not Michigan:-) and provinces in Canada are also affected. Anyway. Enough bad news. Let's remain positive and hope that this problem gets resolved ASAP. How was your Dan Brown book?

  20329. I didn't know that Japan's education was much cheaper. I have to pay here in Utah (where I am) about 25 - 35 k a year 😭 And that's the cheap university. Thanks for your videos. I have enjoyed them. And honestly I want to go back to school and get a degree in English education and move to japan and live there. I hope I can make it! I wish you the best of luck too in all that you do.

  20334. I have done many different places in Japan ( 31 travel in 14 years) but it is still amazing to see the Japanese faces when you talk to them in Japanese. Now I can’t do it because I am married with a Japanese woman and I have 3 kids, so the surprise doesn’t work 😅

  20335. I agree she’s very nice and beautiful

  20336. What did you say at the beginning about making mistakes and not giving a crap any more. Well if you like the place you're at then why do you care that more people in Japan are watching? Stop giving a crap that it's being watched and people are noticing you. You're a tough Michigan girl and you can take a little celebrity/ being well known. You look like you're having fun.

  20340. I agree to a certain extent, but I also believe that some polyglots on Youtube have a pretty high level in a language like Spanish, Russian, or Norwegian, which makes learning French/Italian/Portuguese/etc or Ukrainian/Serbian/Croatian/etc or Danish/Swedish/Icelandic (not Finnish though lol) a little more efficient. And sometimes after learning or studying so many languages, you start seeing similarities in vocabulary and grammar in languages that are seemingly unrelated which makes it easier to commit things to memory. I think the reason why some languages like Hungarian or Arabic are so difficult for most people, even polyglots, is that they’re unlike most languages they have learned and do not share a crazy amount of material with other languages in the same way Spanish does with Italian or Russian does with Ukrainian. I also don’t think most of these polyglots necessarily claim to be C1/2 in a language. To them, fluency is being able to hold conversations on a variety of topics but being able to understand most material in media and literature. It depends on their fluency definition, which is very subjective at the end of the day. Other people’s perception of them is also based on their own definition of fluency, so while you two don’t view them as fluent, some other people might say they’re “pretty fluent” or something like that. I agree it’s easier to make a more accurate judgement in that sense if you have some context of the language.

  20353. This time I did not recognize one word. Fun video it is. On and off I try to learn chinese and japanese. At the end of a days work it is difficult for me to start learning. But I have fun with it my own way. Also I speak German, English, Dutch of course, a bit French, a bit Spanish, a bit Swedish. So I am happy with that. The rest comes when it comes. Thank you for your fun video.

But I enjoyed the video thank you so much and continue continue posting and youtubing God bless you

  20377. Question to the haters....... Why would you go ahead and negatively show it if your jealous? I have been forcibly been adopted from Japan to America, so why am I not allowed to show my native language in a positive light? That's what we are doing not for all the fame, money, "sex"........ I never even understand that when it comes down to people that "Oh your got money, you got fame so I want to have sex with you...." THATS A GOLD DIGGER!! But what they are saying, ITS OK TO UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE TO THE PLACE YOU WANT TO VISIT! IM SUPER HAPPY THAT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED ABOUT MY HOME TOWN!!! Its a Hot Pot Community, and it makes me sad that we forcing English because THOUS PEOPLE DONT WANT TO LEARN...... You are always learning, I'm almost 33 and I NEVER STOP LEARNING. It's not a "Nerdy Thing" nor a "I'm better then you...." type of move, I WANT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND MY CULTURE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARENT THE NORMAL MYTHS "We are smart!" "We are shy." "We are this and that!" COME ON OVER TO JAPAN AMD UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE THE BEAUTY OF THINGS!!!! IT MAKES ME SAD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTS TO BE SO CLOSED MINDED!!!😭😭😭😭

  20392. Here's a funny story: I once worked at a Japanese company (in Singapore) and of course we would have Japanese colleagues who could speak English very well. I was still learning Japanese at the time. One day a bunch of us were talking in the pantry, and a Japanese colleague was talking with us and even referencing English language terms, which I felt was quite advanced for a Japanese. So I suddenly burst out "あなたの英語が上手ですね！”(anata no eigo ga jyozu desu ne / Your English is good). Many of us laughed and she got a bit embarrassed, because it was a kind of reversal for her. Pretty much immediately, she had no choice but to say "あなたの日本語が上手ですね！”, and I did the typical "ああ、いえいえ、上手じゃありません！”. It was all good fun making fun of the trope itself.

  20393. Even I would probably guess you were from Russia but it's funny that's a recurring theme haha :p

  20394. Please answer this if you see this -- It is likely I will only be able to learn 1 language (time constraints) If you had to throw all the pros and cons of Japanese and Chinese in a bag, and pick 1 language out of the bag to learn, what would it be? I know more people speak Chinese, but japans gaming/entertainment/culture is better/safer and such, all pros and cons aside, what would you choose? I really want to learn one but Chinese just seems to not have cool games or shows that would really give me motivation to learn casually. Japanese might be easier in the sense that theres SO MUCH entertainment that learning becomes easy because you like watching it or playing the games.

  20412. Hi Pearl. For an average person, we may be interested in all of these languages but can only learn one. Will you do a video of pros/cons of each language? Stereotypes, etc? Stereotype: Chinese is good for business but lacks good entertainment. Japanese is good for entertainment (games, anime) but not for business. Korean is good for kpop/kdramas but not much else. With all that being said, what would you recommend to an average person to learn, and why? Should we focus on more practical or entertainment? Is it enough to learn a language just because there are more speakers/more business opportunity? Or should you just go with "what interests you more?" even if its not practical? A lot of people may have a small interest in each culture but do not take the leap because they don't want to invest so many hours in a language that will end up not being practical for them. As someone who knows all 3 languages, you must have some bias for which would be the best to learn and why. Thanks.

  20442. Hey! I loved hearing your little conversation about choosing a passport, and I wanted to help with your confusion. Because Japan is pretty strict about immigration they don’t allow dual citizenship. So even though you might have an American passport and are allowed to get a second one, that country can’t be Japan due to their laws. Hope this was helpful!

  20457. Great topic so true, and I hate the callousness of these youtubers which allows people to develop unrealistic expectations which also trvializes the real accomplishments due to yrs of hard work of truly fluent speakers. My father and my favorite prof at the French Dept at the Uni where I taught both spoke 7 languages, different in each case,. and are true polyglots, although the above prof used to joke about the famous linquist Roman Jacobson, 'I speak 23 languages and English she is the best":). Each was born in a different country from my country of origin, Canada; each had spent several years in the country whose language they acquired and worked and lived in that language. These are true polyglots. It is true that if you grow up in a bilingual or polyglot household and grow up bilingual yourself language acquisition is easier, speaking from personal experience, but it still requires the kind of effort and commitment you both describe.

  20483. Lovely video, I really like the scenery in the end, the countryside is really beautiful in Japan. I have a question for you, well its more of your point of view and opinion based on your experience. Ive started learning japanese a couple months ago, and I knew it was hard but it seems way harder than any other language ive learned before, for example in the same time I spent for Japanese now, I learned at the very least 5 times more things worth in Spanish or German or whatever, so its much more difficult and a much more slow process. I was basically just wondering, in your experience and opinion, how many months would it take to be able to understand basic conversations well and be able to talk and hold basic conversations? I am very diligent and try to study at least a bit every day, tho im very very busy, so sometimes I can study for an hour or two, while sometimes I can barely do much. Thank you for your answer.

My son lived in a village first and then Tokyo for five years as an English teacher. He loves manga. Maybe not that sort. He Loved karaoke bars. Maybe try that. For me, one of your best ones. Keep bumping into weird stuff. Oh, best part for me was your delayed reaction to opening and finally eating a cheesecake kitkat. The packaging theme was great. Use a hammer next time. And, of course, your beauty salon was also fun. Great job. Again.

  20487. I like how I understand small phrases because of how much anime I’ve watched

  20488. That looks exhausting! Is is really hot in Japan??

  20489. Subscribing :) I feel I can relate so much to your channel. Lived in Taiwan for just under a decade and have visited Japan several times and loved it. Really enjoying your videos as something different from the usual. Keep up the good work! ^_^

  20490. I still think you have a chance of breaking that 1 million, just takes that one video to boost those subs! Good luck to you, you deserve it!

  20491. In early 1965 and then again in early 1966 I was stationed in Japan (Atsugi then Iwakuni ). Wasn't there long enough either time to learn the language but do remember the most useful phrase, for us young Marines when off base, being "(something) wa doko desu ka".

  20495. My son is going to Japan (from Australia) in a few weeks and he is a very stinky 6ft tall white guy, with long hair down to his butt 😅 He's a little worried about his body odor, which is why I've stocked him up with plenty of travel size deodorant and soaps 😊 I hope he doesn't offend anyone while he's there, at least he's very polite and is taking the time to learn as much of the language he can. Interesting video, cheers 😊
    1
  20496. What I don't get is, what is there to hate from what I've seen from your videos you're literally just interacting with people in a positive manner. Its such a huge stretch to hate on some thing like that. Seriously

  20497. Unrealated to the topic but I noticed there were a lot of graffiti in the area, is that a common thing? Also, you seem like such a nice person. Im going to subscribe〜

  20511. Awesome - Congrats Hold it down

  20512. Even some native speakers don't know everything in their own language..and I have witnessed it myself...if you dont belief in some polyglots, you could always go on their blog and challenge them, have a full blown conversation with them and then you can see their level, before you make this video.. instead of assuming that someone is not fluent in what they do or posing to be a polyglot... Language has phases, you could speak conversational Japanese and Chinese but fail miserably in Chinese literature or folklore simply because you may not be used to the terminology...example i personally know people who were born and raised in America, they speak English but they can't read and write it and in my conversation, if I should use some basic vocabulary in literature, economics, politics, finance, they keep asking me what that word means... And its the same in many languages, as I speak quite a few fluently and sometimes even native speakers may be speaking a dialect that you dont understand, even tho you speak the language, you will still get lost but that doesn't mean that you dont understand the language, its simply bcos you learnt the standardized language and not that dialect and vice versa..example is Greek dialect from cyprus and standard Greek from Greece and many other dialects within greece..... both countries speak Greek but different slang, dialects and terminology....so give credit to all polyglots, its not easy at all, wether they are faking it or not..atleast they are trying, I also know some native French and Spanish speakers who were struggling with those languages in the university level, even if polyglots speak a few sentences...its worth giving credit...cos learning or memorizing any language and keeping it for a long period of time is never easy at all...big up to all polyglots, fake or real...I appreciate yall..

  20526. As a non American and non Japanese person this interested me so much haha

  20527. The whole point of learning a new language is to communicate ! It’s not about showing off. Most of negative comments are from lazy/not motivated people who wish they could put efforts to learn but they don’t.

  20534. I felt the same as you but my experience was quite opposite with respect to moving from India to USA . I saw so many different things compared to India . Asian culture is so much different then American. The thing which took me major surprise was people hug and kiss each other unlike we use Namaste to greet .

  20539. Hey Anming, the reason I enjoy watching your videos is because I love your confidence and the way you approach people to talk...! 💯👏 You're awesome🔥 I'm an introvert, and I'm learning form🤜🤛😊
    1
  20540. I have never been to Japan, so I might be missing something, but: I find this whole "insane commutes" thing surprising. Given that Japan supposedly has lots of rural places which are being depopulated, why is the govt not trying to kill two birds with one stone? Move state functions from Tokyo to the 2nd tier cities far from Tokyo, and it boosts population in the sticks, while easing congestion in the metropolises. Win-win. My country has been doing that for decades.
    1
  20541. Your ‘go is VERY good, and I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m an old man now, but back in the ‘80s and 90’s I loved exploring Japan and talking to people the way you do here. なつかしい!
    1
  20542. WOW, its mee!!!!! dont worry - there are some really stupid idiots outthere with no reason at all or nothing better to do. I am sooooo glad you have your basis covered. Evedently, someone has a lot of hate, which usually comes back to hunt back. So, no worries,, you are smart as always and is all about fun and learning. At least that is how I look at it. I am here with you...so Keep it up Madam!!! You are awesome///tai hao le!!!!!!! :)

  20543. It happened to us as well))) We were followed by one old lady in a supermarket)) It was a bit scary... but then we decided to follow her😃

  20544. I noticed it and started wondering about their grasp on languages if that was the level they were speaking at, as soon as they started reaching for languages I understand, like Norwegian, as I'm Norwegian, but we also understand Danish and Swedish as well, so hearing polyglots touching on those, and barely understanding what they were trying to say... ya wonder about the rest of their languages really.
    1
  20545. You must get questions all the time about China/Japan relations. I, for one, understand why you may want to avoid getting too far into those issues in the context of YouTube. Have you ever thought about making a Patreon? What part time job did you end up getting?
    1
  20546. I think the elderly have no problem with foreigners who learn the language, social rules etc. They just don't like rude tourist with no respect for japanese culture, I guess.

  20550. I can speak 2 languages at a native level and 2 more at like a 4 or 5 year old's level(they know enough to understand their parents but aren't necessarily able to express themselves in full using the complex vocabulary that it would require.) People knowing multiple languages isn't the impressive part in my eyes, that's sort of just the flow of life to me. The potentially impressive part is why they learned it to begin with. If you get married to a foreign national and end up living in said foreign country, then you knowing the language isn't going to be impressive in the least bit. It also depends on what the language exposure is like in the country they live in. I speak Laos fluently and I can bet that no one would bat an eye if I suddenly broke out speaking Vietnamese or Chinese(not that I know either of them mind you) because it's so common to have a grandparent who's from those respective countries for my generation.(My grandfather on my mother's side of the family was Viet) When I was a kid, there was this small Asian grocery store owner that spoke Laos and was from Cambodia. To me, it wasn't the least bit impressive and just felt natural that he might know the language. It also made talking to him a lot easier because his English wasn't all that great lol.

  20563. Wow 😍. This is truly amazing. I feel so happy watching this video. The way you people are helping each other out. It is the way it should be. No discrimination period. Anming you really set an example of how to be and help others no matter where you are from. We can be a family. I think that's pretty cool. I believe that you are cool and unique in your own way. There is no comparison to others. This is my 3rd video of your's and girl you're making me fall in love with you 😍❤️🤗😇. Love your personality 👍❤️. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏

  20567. People tell me that I have a Texas accent. I read a lot about Canadian English accents and I didn’t believe how crazy it is until you visit some parts of Canada. I was there last year. Once your in Quebec and Alberta , you come across a lot of French Canadians and their is 75 percent French speakers in those regions.

  20573. Another amazing Episode! When you go into these thrift stores, are they all "ok" with filming? or does their attitude change when they discover you speak the language fluently? Also, how's Toby? :)
    1
  20574. Like your video. Chinese international students in US should all watch your video so that they will understand that they have to live with American roommates or families to immerse in the language and culture, not just living with fellow Chinese.

  20575. Hey Pearl, I think that title belongs to me!!! Hehe. I’m sure you already figured out I’m mocking my people’s stupid rule that I’m not really “Japanese” ‘cause I was born in Hawai’i. I love my ancestry, traditions, and culture...but there are some things I really don’t like. 😁 Anyway, I hope you and your ohana are staying safe and healthy during this pandemic! Lotsa love and aloha from Hawai’i! 😘❤️🌈☀️🤙🏽 (<—some symbols of Hawai’i)

  20591. How I imagine your first day teaching in Japan, after 8 years of teaching kids in China: You: good morning class, how are you today? Have you all brushed your teeth? Do you bring your lunchboxes? Fingernail inspection..... 40-50 years old Japan professionals: EHHHH?? NANIIIII?!??! You: whoops.......

  20599. I've heard there's a lot (or at least more than other foreigners) French animators in Japan working on anime. I forget his name, but I listened to a podcast where he spoke about his story and experiences. It was pretty interesting!

  20600. Would trilingual be considered a polyglot? I had a friend growing up who’s family spoke three languages. Both parents of my friend were bilingual with English as the connecting language. Mom spoke German and English dad spoke Slavic and English. My friend although living in an English speaking country spoke all three. I was very jealous growing up that my parents didn’t have me learn a second language. I took 3 years of Spanish in High School but barely remember any of it past days of the week, colors, animals and how to ask really basic directional questions. I’m learning Japanese now because we are most likely moving there next year. It’s the only reasonable place my husband can military orders too at the moment. I’ve been dedicating 1-3 hours a day self teaching with the genki textbooks, Japan pod 101 and Japanese from zero books and you tube videos. I wanted to take a college course but the local community college doesn’t offer Japanese. :( .I plan on taking language courses when we move there.

  20601. I think Henry is WAY more efficient and intelligent than his easy going demeanour portrays here. This man must have an incredible amount of intelligence and drive, coupled with a pure love of animation. He had to, learn the language, learn job culture, and efficiently find the shortcuts, edges and advantages that would sell his skill set while breaking the glass wall and cultural barrier for an opportunity. Not to even emphasize he did it in what can only still be described in many aspects as a monoculture.
    1
  20602. Just another awesome video I have watched!! I have question again haha. So before you became a youtuber, have you thought about doing something else? Then when you decided to do so, what made you to do that as a polyglot in the video? Or when you first decided to do the youtube thing, have you thought about other video contents? Please reply me.. You are truly the inspiration!! I am learning Spanish but I'm struggling.. I tried to give up few times but since I found your video, you are the best example of hard working and possible to learn more languages!!!

  20611. Your Japanese is so formal. Do u speak informal Japanese too? I'd assume u know both in Chinese as well as slang. Also it'd be helpful if u added the store/town names for more context. And No, there aren't very many girls as pretty as u in the states, with those tropical ocean color eyes and naturally golden blonde hair!

  20612. What a fun trip. One of the things I'm concerned on public bath house would be the water temperature. I would draw a lot of attention from jumping in and out of the bath! Thank you for showing the hotel, breakfast, and train ride. Happy travels! Great video!

  20621. Your videos in general are great! but this one could be your unique niche if you continue (cause as you said most foreigners don't work in this field). I wonder if 10 hours workday is normal for office jobs or it's a marketing thing? seems tiring

  20622. Thank you for the video. It was super interesting. Hope you have a blessed day

  20623. Tbh You gotta be VERY stupid to believe some random guy actually learned a language in 2 days or so, when even native speakers require years. 🤷
    1
  20624. no matter hwo many people want to brush over it. the fact that someone is so beautiful and knowing so many languages. not saying you have to be ugly to learn languages. its the stupid stereotype that good looking people are assholes. that usually when you find someone whos gorgeous you throw a stereotype that their are just rich and visiting and not knowing the culture. so to see someone like her is like super shocking and like holy wow amazing

  20640. Well done you, so amazing. My son speaks 6 languages fluently but European languages. Love to see someone as great as you
    1
  20641. To be fair I've been in situations before where i'm near someone speaking another language and thinking "I hope they ask me directions or say hello" so I can converse. I'm shy and a bit too self conscious, so that woman could've just wanted you to talk to her ? Or she is a Spy, But not a very good one if she is.
    1
  20642. I thinks it's awesome that anybody who can speak 2 languages fluently, let alone 29 is amazing. These people who can take the time to learn multiple languages on top of everything else they are doing is great. Plus I've said this to a lot of people, if you live in any other country you SHOULD learn the language. It only makes sense.

  20650. Hi Anming, do you ever get free food speaking Japanese? We know how the Chinese react to your speaking in Mandarin but how do the Japanese react when you speak Japanese? From your videos, Japanese people don't seem that impressed.

  20662. あなたの視点は面白いと思いました。私の考えですが、欧米人は日本に来て、訪れた場所を楽しみ、経験を目的として観光をしているひとがほとんどのように思えますが、その一方で中国人観光客は日本にただ買い物するために来ている人がとても多いです。そのため純粋に観光をしに来ている「観光客」の数は、実際には欧米人のほうが多いのではないかと思いました。大阪市在住の私が、大阪に来る外国人を見ての意見です。

  20664. Thank you for making videos like this. It gives us people back home a sense of traveling and how other countries are dealing with the pandemic. You represent the American people very well. I just have one request, try to mention a little more you're from Detroit Michigan in your videos to represent lol 👊✊

  20665. Anming! Hey girl, I enjoyed watching this video...Im loving all the positivity..!

  20666. I am lame, I only speak English and Spanish but I know the feeling of switching mid-conversation to speak with someone else. I am trying to learn Japanese but at 32 years old it's so damn hard. Anyways, Love the vids <3
    1
  20667. Thanks for posting this (like u said u would!) Hope it gets lots of likes👍! When you're choosing suitable partners on HT, do you try to match up with ppl whose level of English is similar to your level of Japanese? Or is it not a big deal (i.e. you speak Japanese better than they speak English or vice versa)

  20668. 4:51 You're welcome

  20669. I'm tryna visit Japan for 2 weeks but If I get called I don't really know how to speak it and I'm super shy so I get anxiety, and I'm learning how to speak

  20678. Galbūt mergina kuri nieko nesakė buvo japonė? 多分何も言えなかった娘は日本人だった。How it feels not understandig first sentence? Bad, Silly? I guess it's what the Japanese should experiment when you're adressing them in chinese. Of course it's cool to comunicate to diaspora but you have to be sure that you have the right guy in front of you. Pagarbiai... Greatings from Lithuania.

  20685. Please make more videos were you go to speak to someone who doesn't know you can speak mandarin. Then pull a 180 and start speaking fluently. I heard the best way to learn a language is to just sit with native speakers

  20686. She went dowm from a love tap

  20687. How to tell that Oriental Pearl goes beyond 100% legit and goes all the way to 100% amazing: Check out the natives' reactions when she tells them what universities she goes to.

  20700. Comment for the algo, making YouTuber happy

  20701. I see all of this more as entertainment and nothing serious. If people learn something or get motivated ... great. Some people may just get discouraged because they are not talking X languages or not after 2 weeks or something ridiculous like that. The famous ... "I am not good with languages". So, there is that. Uhm ... don't see that much harm or value ...good entertainment, possibly, if that's your thing. I saw your stuff from the chinese critique lesson and appreciate the fluency etc. ... don't care about the theatrics.

  20702. This soundtrack is one of the best one in your videos in this list. Really cool

  20706. In the past few days I started to focus more on Korean because since it shares some similarities with Japanese it'd motivate me to study more Japanese as well, besides I really like Korean haha but after watching this video, it also motivated in a more simple and direct way haha thanks!

  20707. Lol that one time, we were in a family vacation in japan and my family dosent know what to do first lol then i asked a japanese stranger for directions (i was speaking japanese to him lol) Then my dad asked me where did i learned speaking japanese then i told him, " i learnt it on anime"....

  20717. 1. Anyone who doesn't look asian will never blend in. 2. Japanese people are very serious? It depends on the setting. They take work very seriously. Sure, they like to relax in bars, but usually they're shy around foreigners. They often laugh inappropriately because they're embarrassed if communication is difficult but don't they know how to react. 3. Jokes seldom translate to any other language. 4. It's illegal to take video or photos of people in without permission. Lots of Japanese people are very shy, especially in the countryside when faced with a foreigner. Kawagoe is super popular with tourists. Try a place where there's less tourists. And come on, people operating a good stall for a festival are bound to talk to anyone to make a sale. 5. People don't have time to make friends. It took me six months to make friends in Japan. It's got to be easier if you are semi fluent. 6. Yes Japanese people break rules. I was amazed how many people were speeding on the motorway in Shikoku for example. But it depends on the rules. Very few people break rules like being noisy on trains. 7. It's hard to get by without any Japanese at all, especially outside Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. 8. Asking for directions in a Conbini is often a waste of time because in big cities like Tokyo, many of the employees are Philipinos or other non Japanese. But some Japanese will go out of their way. I think omotenashi has faded a lot with the increase in tourists especially from Asia, because they are so rude. Having said that I have experienced Japanese people asking for directions in a Conbini in the countryside. PS I think people were more worried that you were taking video than failing to blend in while speaking 日本語

  20718. I think you’re amazing!!!

  20719. Be yourself and don’t worry what they think of you, it’s good to understand cultural differences but if your ex Chinese boyfriends mom compliments you and then you thank her and she thinks that’s arrogant, she has a flawed character, don’t be a people pleaser but rather be a God pleaser
    1
  20720. The crazy thing about China is how people come running up to you as a foreigner to try to speak English with youl It's not like this in many of the tourist type places, but I was in Lijiang and a few other lesser visited places (by foreigners). It's even funnier when they come up to you to speak English and you reply in Mandarin.

  20738. You're talented. I pick up languages easily too. Speaking English, İtalian fluently and learnt french as self taught learning. Some scenes were looking like random act of kindness. When in America, were you talking to random people and telling that they look nice etc. ?

  20741. Hi Anming, can i ask how long did it take you from scratch to speak confidently (In Japanese or Chinese) to native speakers? During your learning phase, did you have times where you wanted to speak something in Japanese or Chinese, but didn't know the way to? Thanks in advance!
    1
  20742. Language evolves as year passes, look at the lyrics of the old Japanese songs and compare it to the recent ones, they are so different.

  20754. My Mandarin sucks, but I can go shopping/negotiating etc. like this in pretty good Cantonese if that impresses! I also speak quite fluent Thai and once helped the ticket conductor girl on the bus from Bangkok to Pattaya communicate to some tourists, as I swapped from my fluent French, sketchy German in and out of Thai and back to English! I am learning Japanese at the moment. にほんごをべんきょうしますが、とてもむずかしいです - to omoimasu! Love languages

  20771. I love the energy from these videos, they make me laugh all the while making me sad. No one expects an American to speak their language. And Usually they are right. How sad for us. It's not easy, I know as I am trying to learn Italian, but mainly getting frustrated. Your learning strategy must be on point as I am using Pimsleur as others do, yet not getting nearly the results I had hoped. I was ready to quit, until I saw these and realize it may take longer than I want, but I will get there.

  20783. Greetings from Arizona. First off let me say, you kind of look like "Lady Gaga" in those Chinese talk show gig clips but you have a leg up on Gaga cause you can speak Chinese and she can't. Second off, (and this is the sad part) you suck at violin but on the bright side you've got nice legs so it all evens out. Glad to hear you've got relatives here in Arizona. This is a nice place to live and learn.

I read somewhere that polyglots tend to have above average IQ rating. I bet if you took a Mensa test, your IQ rating would be above the median. I think you are a wonder and your gift comes from God.

  20812. Chinese language is a very difficult language for western people to learn, so it is a little surprise for them to hear you can speak Chinese so fluently. They don't have any bad intention, if I were you, I would feel good or pride if they make comment of my Chinese language skill.

  20813. The pharmacy is a vendor, and vendor's are known to share spaces with other vendors, i.e. the bookstore. Remember, all businesses are vendors. But, I get it. I feel the best locations for pharmacies to share vending spots are in hospital's, clinic's, or perhaps a coffee shop/food mall.

  20825. Hi beautiful, I am from Dongbei! I always had the thought that personality wise, dongbei people are very much like American that's why I like US a lot. You confirmed my thought! It's just funny that the southern people sometimes discriminate dong bei ren. It used to upset me, but now I am proud to be from Dongbei!

  20829. People who can do something they like as a job is truly fortunate. I love art since I was a kid, and dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, but unfortunately, I was thrown into a science stream and never had the chance to do art, Asian parents don’t really encourage their kids doing art.

  20837. Hi Anming, First of all, congratulations on you upcoming marriage. 結婚おめでとう！ Second, I watched a couple of your videos and cracked up when they mistook you for a Russian. In one, they even said not Russian, but Ukrainian! Haha. I’m American and my mom was born in Russia and my entire family on her side is in Russia and Ukraine. I learned the love of languages from my mom and can function in several. (If you ever need help with case endings in Russian, let me know!) What is your ethnicity if I may ask? Your features, mannerisms and gestures remind me exactly of a cousin I have in ужгород. We’re probably related! Have a great day!

  20838. Just discovered your channel. You really make japan seem like a super happy , friendly place to live. I guess that's vecause of your multilingual skills. If I only knew English, it guess it wouldn't be such a friendly experience, right? -anyway, onwards binging all your videos. 😃 Do you think it's much much harder to learn Chinese using online videos and audio, just repeating sentences snd words, vs having a physical teacher present? I'm trying to learn cantonese but it seems my memory for longer phrases is useless. How do I improve my memory !? Arghh

  20849. ▓▒░    I  like  the  way  he  asked  her: “ Whatcha doin' in Japan? ”   (6:33) with  that  intonation  -  and  with  open  arms, no less. That's probably the same intonation I'd use with someone from the U.S.A. who comes to live in this here country. But he speaks English pretty well. And I understood just about everything he said.    ░▒▓ `

We may have our problems here like so many other places in the world but we can also show our better angels so to speak and that good that I know exist here in the U.S. as well. Your family were gracious host and I hope every visitor from abroad can have a nice experience like Tommy did. Thanks for the video 👍

  20860. I work and live in a multicultural society, and i love hearing people speak Maori language and pronunciation well... I love watching your videos, I had people who hated me speaking my own language because they found it rude. Be you, tape them... I love them... they give me hope to learn more languages even at an older age... Please do more, forget that haters... You will always have haters when you're showing excellence. People will always try to pull you down so they can feel good about themselves

  20896. You did an amazing job reporting this story, thank you.
    1
  20897. Its embarrassing how most of these Japanese folks seem to speak better English than most born here in the US... I also never fully thought about how big the cultural differences would be in communicating, I always focused more on the vocabulary and pronunciation. Love the videos. Extremely well made and edited. Especially giving tips after perfect examples of real interactions. So much much more substantial than if you were to just tell viewers the same thing without context.
    1
  20898. I can play your video over and over until I learn a few phases. How about mama-san talking?

  20912. Yeah, I bet the Chinese government have turned off their facial recognition systems! BTW, I've worked in a Chinese company for over a decade & while I don't speak Mandarin, I have heard a lot spoken... and if I close my eyes and just listen, I'd never guess you're a blonde American :)
    1
  20913. I love your channel. My boyfriend is Japanese and I recently moved to Japan halfway across the world to be close him. I used to watch your videos whenever I felt down about it. I hope my Japanese skills improve a lot! ❤ keep it up!

  20915. Congratualtions! Awesome Couple and enjoy many, many years to some.

  20916. You slipping on the ice reminds me of how people are downtown in Chicago. They're so use to the ice and snow, so much in fact, that when they do slip their facial expressions stay the same. So they could be laughing and chatting with someone, slip and just continue on like nothing happened xD I saw this and it made me laugh

  20917. Lots of hard work and dedication.... you are a little bit special, even if you are too modest to admit it. 🙏

  20918. Pearl's vids rock! I've been trying to study some Japanese with Pimsleur. I think I want to go with Mandarin first now! Mandarin and Japanese are the 2 languages I really want to learn and always have since I was little. I was always so scared to do it in school though :( Do you have any suggestions? Pimsleur seems great to start out with for speaking, but what else should i do?

    1
  20924. Have been following your channel and I notice you to be a very polite and considerate person, you should not have problems settling down in any city or country, people will like you.Talking about eating while walking; once in my younger days in the 90s, I was in Japan on a working trip, while munching something as I walked down the street, an elderly lady walked up to me and told me off in Japanese with an angry expression, i know a little Japanese and realized she was telling me not to eat while walking. I guessed she thought I was a Japanese and I was pretty young then, hence needed some proper etiquette from her! Haha....

  20925. Such a great update cant wait till you visit USA. We miss you:)

  20926. 厉害拉

  20927. Since you mentioned two websites you recommended to learn Chinese and Japanese, I started to look at Kanji basics. At a glimpse, it seemed that understanding true meaning of Radicals required certain Chinese and Japanese culture insights. As someone that had zero Kanji basics, I could not grasp the idea of how a Radical would mean (let's say) a person and then it would mean entirely different once another Radical was put in together unless I had some understandings of how Chinese and Japanese thought and acted. I wonder if you could share some insights on such in the next video. Thanks 😊
    1
  20928. even though many of them are simple phrases, and conversations it's quite fun to watch these kinds of videos and at certain times realize you've studied to the point where you don't need the subtitles
    1
  20929. this is interesting to see. wish you made more like this. The language ones are cool but these little vlogs during this covid shit are awesome. Also I wished I heard your commentary on China and all those anti-foreigner videos that are popping up.

  20930. Anming, you should move over to India and try Hindi to increase your language skills and also maybe have a change of scenery. Would love to see your language skills transcend so many countries.

  20931. Beautiful apartment and love the porch.

  20932. Anmimg, I watch your video's from start to finish, and I watch your ads to help you. I want to say that you are as iconic as Marylin Monroe, I have followed you from the beginning. You are an amazing young woman, and I am in awe of your language skills. The Asian people are so polite and intelligent, yet you are able to amaze them with your skills in language, and jumping from one language to another. There's nothing more that I would like to do than to meet you one day, you are an amazing woman, and I wish you the best of everything! I will share this on my FB page to get you more subscribers. Rock on Anming, you are "AnMazing"!!!!! 🙂🙂🙂

  20938. I enjoyed watching your video. And listening to the language. You are way to pretty to cover your mouth with your hands..
    1
  20939. You should put out the conversational videos anyway, for those who are learning. Similar to the series Easy French; so learners can hear the flow of conversational language. Keep up the good work.

  20940. Yes I agree with this young lady I lived in Japan Yokohama area cause my father was in military so I decided to take Japanese classes I'm not proficient but I do understand certain key word to be able carry conversation...love your video and thanks for the pointers

  20968. She is sooo intelligent
    1
  20969. Duolingo and memrise are good for vocabulary but so far the best has been to read books with a chrome extension. It allows me to compare expressions and words. For listening anime and youtube. Understanding some cultural nuances through sites etc. The downside, speaking does not come as natural but i am not a people kind of person. Japanese is my 5th language. The hellotalk approach cuts learning time in half by my estimate but you have to talk to people.

  21013. I am currently studying another language (Arabic) and have been using YouTube as one of my resources. A lot of the points you two made in the video were spot on, even in the comments. I am in no way a hater....cause like your friend said one positive side to the whole fake polyglot thing is getting people excited and encouraged to learn another language. However, it is NOT a walk in the park and it (the fake polyglots) can be misleading. For me, yes YouTube is a resource but it's not my only one, the key that I want people to understand is that there is no such thing as perfect....forgive yourself for the grammar errors and what not, you're learning. But the key is not google translate or YouTube, but being around native speakers and possibly going to the country. Learning another language requires more than just a few phrases, then uploading a video with click bait. Sorry to go off on a tangent, this video was really good and a lot of what was said was how I have been feeling the past few weeks. Bravo!

  21014. Your videos are top tier quality, OP. You must be happy with your hair too! Edit: I made my comment before i finished the video, I liked the comedy aspect of this one.

  21027. I really enjoy your channel. If it were 40 years ago, I'd probably join you, Japan has always tugged at my heart strings. Plus you're kinda from my neck of the woods, though I'm now across the border, I used to have family in the motor city. 👍

  21032. I think it'd be kind of cool to setup the prank by starting off tourist-level phrasebook Chinese, pronounced poorly, and then develop into native-level fluency.

  21050. Did you pick out the kimono? Or did the fitters? I often see videos of women walking in kimono and it sometimes appears like a struggle, especially going up stairs. They must wrap you in there quite snugly, but even so you didnt seem uncomfortable and the colors and pattern were beautiful. A shining jewel in the drab winter.

  21071. Anming, it has already been proven learning a foreign language can stave off dementia. You are just bloody amazing and a real achiever and a real credit to yourself and your family including I might add your parents. Wow, what a polyglot and also talent. You study the same area of political science as me, International Relations and it is such an interesting area of study. Cannot believe it and despite some lukewarm collaborations with other YouTubers, best was with Jillian from JJsays, you must continue to collaborate and grow your Channel to be the best for sources of how to master the East Asian languages. Stay safe as it is nearly over soon for you to return to China.

  21072. Loved the video. You seemed a lot freer and easier going since you have the new guy in your life. He brings out more of the fun in you.

  21073. Another winning video. It was interesting that the girls in the Korean school uniform also spoke Japanese fairly fluently. The Instagramer was definitely not a shrinking violet. I have found Japanese people are a mix, much like every where some want to talk to strangers (foreigners) and others don't. I'm just a person who likes to be able communicate more ably to be able to experience the local I'm in more fully if I can understand the local language. Besides, I just think it's basic politeness. Japan has a strange mix of English and non English. Sometimes both languages are represented, other times only Japanese is only present. Since my Japanese is so poor I could only get 10 percent of the story and I wanted more. So that's my basic reason for wanting to improve my skill. Your abilities show what is possible, and that means with some work I can become functional, and open up more of the history and culture of amazing Japan. Thanks for the Video and the inspiration.

  21074. I absolutely loved this. I have a degree in Latin American Medical anthropology. 1/2 my courses at university were in Spanish and almost all my textbook were in Spanish. I could write papers, debate and defend my dissertation in Spanish. But I CANNOT hold a conversation. I cannot order food. I have academic Spanish only. I know zero slang. I do not even know the word for vegetables or fruits. I grew up speaking French and German and learned English in high school. I would say my level in those languages is not good. I think English is stronger. I teach Japanese and Chinese in Japan. I still feel like a beginner in many situations. So I agree, there are few polyglots in the world.

  21084. I totally agree that everything they said about Tokyo are not rellay true. I ve been there in 2010 and even with the few Japanese word I speak I was able to meet awesome people. I found that they were very curious once you kind of break the ice. You just need to be respectful and that's is valid in all the countries I visit so far. Edit: you just got a new subscriber 😊

When you were in New York, it's a shame that you didn't meet up with Xiomanyc, he's a guru of languages also. I so admire your language skills, you are exceptional to say the least, you're parents must be so proud of you. I must ask, do you have Russian in your family tree, you do look a bit Russian...I am part Russian myself. Rock on with your kool self, you are the woman!!!!

I'm finishing up Level/Month 3, and even though it's difficult? I'm learning a TON. I JUST learned a lesson you ALSO touched on in your vid to step away for a day (due to frustration/burnout).

  21153. It's happened to me so many times. I've been to almost 30 countries, lived for years in some of them and whether you want it or not, you end up learning. I remember speaking Sesotho in Lesotho after people were trying to guess where I was from. I remember hearing girls talking about me in the Philippines, and then asking them if they were talking about me, all of a sudden their faces got red. But the one that people were most surprised was in Armenia, they speak Russian to foreigners, so when they hear a foreigner speaking their language they just freeze with the mouths open, they all pretty much have the same reaction, it was hilarious to say the least. But there were countries that people actually thought I was from there, like Colombia and Turkey, so they were always surprised to hear I wasn't.

  21155. Hey, I was on that bridge at 2:02 just about a month ago! Chicago is a beautiful city... but it felt like there wasn't a lot to do after you completed the tourist stuff. Also, as someone from the eastern seaboard... That isn't pizza! It's a casserole made out of cheese and tomato sauce! Give me a good New York style slice, made by a slightly grumpy, sweaty, 4th/5th generation Italian man that I can proceed to get all over my shirt! (This is me suggesting you guys tour the DC / NYC area at some point and have Tommy compare!)

  21158. 4:26 .. we want to see the things you you struggle with as a Caucasian western woman in foreign countries. Many times , like in India and Africa, women get incredibly harassed by local men. You need to do a video and challenge the advances in their language and make fun of it, and I bet it makes for great content.

  21159. Thank's for your channel.. i never know that there's much homeless in Japan, we only know the good side about Japan.. i hope Japan's Goverment will do something about it..

  21161. This was a beautifully edited video. I am always a fan, but I still really struggle to understand your Japanese accent, because I am learning japanese I need to rewind to hear how fluent people understand it and then I realise it, I'm guessing you have a chinese accent but I don't know enough to fully comprehend it

  21164. I iive in Tokyo at the moment and have been coming here since 2000. I have never felt unwanted. Why evern perptutate this myth? I only speak very basic Japanese and even that isn't a problem. By the way i think they are paying because you are chicky chicky babe - no one pays for me :( I love Tokyo, the Greatest City on Earth!

  21170. What a great life! Middlebury summer Chinese language program, decades ago, dissuaded me from following a similar path. Congrats on making it work!

  21172. I see a new Oriental Pearl video, me happy, me click Like then me watch. It's great therapy and very educational watching your videos and as the vast majority of folks are 'good', you've got a lot of potential to tap into with your style.

  21180. I recently found your channel and I am loving every video. I lived in Japan for two years, one year in Nagasaki for school and the other in Sapporo for work. Your Japanese speaking skill is amazing and though I don't speak Chinese, I can tell it is 10x more amazing. I just wanted to say that the thing I love the most about your videos is how polite you are. I think this makes just as much of a positive impression on Japanese people as your speaking ability. Thank you for making these videos.

  21181. This video was adorable 😭😭😭 I can’t wait to see more of your journey!

  21185. I only learned a few Japanese words, from the series Shogun. Once, in Denmark, we had japanes engineers working, and I met a few in the lobby, when I was coming to work. I greeted them with a few words, and first, they look surprised, but then they smiled and greeted back :)

  21193. You tip about actually paying for some instruction is a good one--if you have "skin in the game" you tend to pay a lot more attention to results.

  21198. How long of a commute?? My typical commute with rush hour, school buses and what not into Boston at times may take me an hour and a really packed day would be closer to 2hrs, but typically between 1 and 1:20ish. Really good days are like 40mins. What is considered a decent commute time there? Or just varies between individual? Have you interviewed many people who have long commute into Tokyo?

  21200. I would think that most people wouldn't mind unless they are caught in a compromising situation. But unfortunate if people start to recognize you, or perhaps not. BTW, that skirt and sweater look especially nice on you, I think I've seen them before.

  21201. This is super sweet. Congratulations you guys. :)

  21202. Just found out that you are from Michigan as well!!🥰love the content. Speak Japanese, a little Korean and working on my Chinese currently. So it's very cool to see I am not the only one with these language preferences.

  21203. Oh my gosh! So different! Wow!

  21205. really, unique?, how come..?I think what happens is that, i have been introduce to a real true feeling and have become very open. thats what you discovered as well. You open to a new beautiful door and found a goldmine of amazing experiences and could not let go. that is what i think. when you spoke i agreed to everything you said and became interested, even you. I have been alone for several years no girlfriend because it just never happen. so I am very happy you are happy where you are where you feelings takes you..that is more what i am..anytime you like to connect let me know, i have wechat skype..i am sure it’ll be amazing

  21209. Great video. As per usual
    1
  21210. Oh, how I would LOVE to not get distracted so easily. I've tried to learn korean and japanese a few times but then I get distracted and I forget almost everything. But aside from that, I just love watching people get surprised. Cool video. Keep it up!!! :face-orange-biting-nails:

  21211. Anming, you must be used to it by now but lots of Japanese workers put up with long commuting. My son used to do it from Yokohama to Shibuya for a company which checked foreign jobseekers’ references. Now he’s been working from home since the pandemics. I’m lucky to visit only my service users locally on foot, a short bus or tube ride as a domiciliary care worker. June of London (My new profile pic is Lucy, a stuffed Chow, my canine daughter.)

  21215. Before you ever decided to move to China to study abroad and to live there, I am really curious to know if you have ever thought about moving to Taiwan to study abroad and to live there instead of China? If you did before, why did you choose China over Taiwan?
    1
  21216. The first flashback to your home in Michigan was jarring, but pleasant mixed in with the video. I especially adored all of the flashbacks to it while you were cleaning, it puts into perspective how far you are from your family.

  21217. Your eyes are amazing in this light...

  21218. You are really amazing , such beautiful languages.

  21219. I watch Xiaoma’s videos so I’m assuming that’s why I got suggested a video from your channel and I was really happy with what I saw here. although I like his videos, the more I watch, the more I notice that he says the same few things and his language skill seems more like a gag then anything else. It doesn’t seem like he’s appreciating the culture as much and it’s just him saying the bare minimum to provoke content for the repetitive reactions. I loved seeing you interact with these tourists more by holding these conversations with them and humoring them with these photos. I’m definitely subscribing because I already want to watch your posted videos with the varied topics as is so I’ll definitely want to see new content in the future too.
    1
  21220. That was great. A real treat. Thank you for sharing. 😄

  21221. Hello Oriental Pearl, first off great videos and I want to learn Japanese, so that I can visit Okinawa one day. I noticed that your intro had some typos in it. Just setting as an FYI in case you can fix it on the fly.

  21222. Thanks again. Ilove your videos please keep them coming. I’m your #1 fan from Canada

  21227. I like this girl's use of basic Japanese. Nice and simple, and it really does help to just talk to whomever and practice as much as possible. It makes me wanna practice more (and My Chinese).

  21238. Next time when you slice a cake make sure to get wet the knife with warm water lmao. For those of you that doesn't know, you can cut a cake super easy if you wet the knife with warm water ( you have to do it for each 1-2 slices ).
    1
  21239. Japanese crepes!!! The first thing that I ever ate in Japan because I'd arrived with a bad case of the flu, and it was all I could keep down. Sadly, now I have to drive an hour to find one locally. Thank you again, Anming, for the chance to walk vicariously though Tokyo.

  21240. Congratulations!!!!!!^____^

  21241. I’m from Wisconsin and it was good to see how Tommy was enjoying the colder weather, even if he was over-prepared in a heavy jacket. You planned some great activities, visited during holidays so he could see so much holiday culture, and it looks like you all had a blast. He could gain weight staying in the US for sure! It was sad to see him going back home in the end.
    1
  21242. so that where the name Anming came from! i was always curious and didnt know till now! love that treat you had!!! made me super super hungry!!! and i love vending machines! wouldnt mind visiting japan just for vending machines hahahaha actually love watching ericsurf6 and his vending machine adventures too!!!! glad your enjoying your outings! makes my day!

  21247. You are braver than I am!! I passed on the pig's ear. Someone was trying to make something special for me. It smelled so good, then I pulled up a duck's tongue from the broth... freaked out a bit but kept my cool. Next, I there was a pig's ear and had to have a "conversation". Looking back, I should have tried it to at least be polite. Love the fried dough though! Thanks for your videos. I feel like I am on vacation with friends when I watch them. I know it takes a lot of time to make quality videos. Yours are always worth the wait!

  21248. from what i have seen the country seems so much more pretty and peaceful.

  21250. Should I continue learning Japanese and Chinese together or complete one language first then go for the other?

  21258. She’s from Russia.

  21259. You do speak really good Chinese and Japanese and what I heard of your Korean though that’s a language that I’m not as familiar with. Your Chinese is amazing!

  21260. Asking for directions, the time or any definitive question in Asia, certainly will cause panic due to potential loss of face. In Thailand asking for the time even with people wearing watches will result in I do not know.

  21261. Great job. The best video I have seen in a while.
    1
  21262. This is very insightful, before I got into my line of work, I was very much contemplating trying to work in Japan. Could always be a possibility in the future, but it would be military related.

  21263. You asked me to subscribe. I did because you are a pretty Russian girl. 😂😂😂
    1
  21264. We saw you making a new friend from the previous video. I didn't think you could do at first bc that girl wasn't very talkative (or maybe this is how all Japanese are) but you insisted and she finally opened a little bit haha

  21265. I just speak English but and say Hello I Love You in Mandarin, also a smattering of German. I hope this day finds you well.

  21266. Wow, how did you learn Japanese and how long did it take you? Can you read also? And can you recommend a method to learn this language?

    1
  21283. I enjoyed this video and the other videos that I have seen of yours, so far, because you express your point of view entertainingly. I have no intention of learning Chinese or Japanese, but it's good to hear opinions from someone who is expert but is also a native English speaker. And of course, I don't care who is making what money.

  21287. Something I like about Japan is the huge variety of possible styles that a person can have, you can see yourself very colorful, very dark, very rare ... there are so many styles and they are all happy in their own way, just amazing :)

  21288. hahaha you're cute

  21292. kinda sketchy scene... that guy asking you in English to watch his movies. In early 1965, as a young Marine, I was stationed in Atsugi, Japan just 20 something miles from Yokohama. Never made it into Yokohama but did get one weekend pass and was able to make it to Tokyo.
    1
  21293. I would love to speak multiple languages. I don't even care if they are showing off or not. That is irrelevant. These people are the Mozart of languages and I realize this will never be something I can do but I admire it greatly. After 2-3 years of French I doubt I could even order in a restaurant. Almost believe this is just jealousy with all the crticisms. Please dont stop making these videos!
    1
  21294. Wow thats crazy🤯

  21295. good food knows no boundaries

  21296. Do you have any advice on learning new languages when you aren’t able to be immersed in the culture??

  21297. I and I bet you learned your mandarin in north china. Most likely, Beijing.

  21301. It's so cute seeing someone get excited over things we consider normal 😂 this was a great video!

  21302. Haha cool collab mang😇😇
    1
  21303. This woman from NZ is dare I say…a badass! She looks so regal and powerful. When you move overseas and participate in the culture and customs, that is not appropriation, that is appreciation (and assimilation!). The negativity reminds me of some hate I got when I was living in Japan - I had to block someone I went to high school with because he would write on my posts “you’re not Japanese.” (My thoughts were “Well, duh…but…I live here. Japan is kinda my life now…” I didn’t actually say all that - just blocked him hahahah) I had another younger, American coworker who wanted to buy a yukata and wear it to matsuri’s but was worried her American friends back home would get upset. So silly. She ended up getting the yukata and wearing it to summer matsuri’s and looked great, thank goodness! People need to be more open minded and stop inventing dumb things to be fake-mad about 😅😅😅
    1
  21304. Super interesting, as usual. In fact: more and more interesting....😊
    1
  21305. I have such a difficult time understanding certain Chinese accents. It seems from your videos I tend to under stand the Harbin accent more than others. Some seem like a roller coasters but the Harbin accent is like a straight line in my brain.

  21306. Traveling is the best time to get out of shyness and introvert zone , just remember you will never meet them again , so have fun . Once I complimented one having a nice shoes, I think he will remember for ever .

  21307. love your videos!! keep up the good work❣

  21308. How can this gentleman keep his weight in Japan? Without any intention I lost more than 6 kg within 3 weeks by just eating like a Japanese. Maybe he is on a special sumo diet. Has he ever tried to become sumo? If his balance is strong, he can become quite successful with it even as a foreigner.

  21309. Not only amerikans i'm from Macedonia and watch your videos

  21310. You must make many friends along the way....I'm jealous!❤😊
    1
  21311. Marry me?
    1
  21312. It's so interesting in Japan they don't challenge authority, but in America you are really taught to always challenge authority. I think this is probably due to the fact that America was built by rebels and that spirit was passed down over the generations.
    1
  21313. Oriental Pearl i think they show admiration for your eagerness for learning this hard language as myself i noticed in japanese i am just beginner in it but i am so experienced in learning that kind of language Arabic for instance its really really hard one abd i am native in it anyways i love cultures a lot that's why i love your channel contents 😇😇😇😇
    1
  21314. You should visit my city. I live in Hikone, Shiga. There's a Michigan University here that is actually partnered with the American school in Michigan. There's also a beautiful original castle (to give a little incentive). :)
    1
  21315. I completely agree with the idea of living with people and living alone. I lived alone in Taiwan and was cites away from the only people I was close with and it was extremely lonely.
    1
  21316. At the end of the video, a japanese couple were mimicking your waving to each other. Would you be able tell me what they may have been thinking? I initially thought that they may have believe that you and Akaki were friends and waving rather than hugging for a foreigner was unusual.
    1
  21317. Really 👍 content. I am watching everything

  21318. I like the boys with big eyebrows, white teeth, that say ‘how you doing’! Joey❤️

  21319. Thanks for some great imagery. Rural Japan looks very appealing. Surprised at the proliferation of overhead power/telecom lines though. I imagined they would have them mostly underground like we do in the UK.

I lived in Japan for 4 years as a young boy and to this day and when I feel like going back to my childhood I just speak Japanese and my friends her in the states Feak out that I can speak it. Thanks for tour of your day and I will be watching more of your videos.

  21326. I found that this video has the most wholesome comment section about China. I felt a little unaccustomed ,is it because i was profoundly into politic issue ?

  21328. Actually, Japanese culture ain't that bad but they are more reserved when it comes to foreigners. Japanese people are the type to mind their own business.

  21333. Wow. I have always experienced the same situation while in Shenzhen China. It feels good but crazy at the same time. Due to their snatching even my shirt's sleeves were torn. Haha. Thanks for sharing. I am in Nostalgia now!

  21336. Before coming to Japan I had no problem with talking to strangers but after 14 months of living in Tokyo I was terryfied of doing that so for my you are kind of magician right now :D Good job with your channel, keep it going, I miss Tokyo so I like to watch your vidoes.

  21337. Hey, I also work in (digital!) marketing for a Japanese company, just not in the hotel industry. It is indeed pretty rare to find any anecdotes from foreigners who work in Japanese for Japanese companies. Many get frustrated by the language and culture differences which translate to various problems at work. You need a really open mind to stay for the long term. By the way! The reason why どうでもいいです wasn't OK in the situation you brought up is not because it's not business language, but rather it's not an appropriate reply even casually. You basically said "I don't care" instead of "Any time is fine for me" which is better said as 何時でもいいです or いつでもいいです.

  21338. Did you get into Two oversized bath tubs in one day?😃They looked suspiciously from onsen[s] . My first experience of it was at Mae Sai, Thailand, unknowingly jumping into a half empty tub, Yuck! Of course I moved onto another self filled one. Yours and Katherine's Journey to the East, mandarin [not the fruit] are amazingly refreshing easy to comprehend with no regional accents to consider. Is it deliberate or you learned that way ? I admire both of you of your zeals.

  21339. 4:03 Now that's pretty funny! Read the (English) caption!

  21340. How do you guys even go from speaking one language to another completely different language so seamlessly like flipping on a switch?? I speak a little Spanish myself. But even I have to stop and pause for a moment to formulate whatever I want to say in my head before actually speaking it to someone in that language. You polyglots are complete naturals and your brains need to be studied by scientists!

  21341. Oh I feel motivated to keep learning then :D Thank you, great video

  21352. The only thing I had happen to me when I was over there was people would approach me to try their English. With my limited Japanese I was happy to talk to them and let them have practice! Good times those days.... It was my great honor to run into so many friendly and open people! But the big question right now is: Was that "Kill Bill" and "Demon Slayer" cosplay you had going? lol

  21353. I considered working in Japan when Mitsubishi was developing the MRJ. They had a lot of foreigners working there, so I wondered if the environment was different from the typical office job. It sounded like there was a culture clash at times, but overall being in a technical field you can (usually) rely on facts and data to get by these arguments. When they "paused" development with covid being a convenient excuse, I was glad I didn't go over, as I'd have had to reapply to my company right when they were laying off people.
    1
  21354. Yup, when I lived in Kanagawa Pref, I had a four year gap in visiting the USA. Having grown up in the US, one would think that there would be no adjustment or reverse culture shock. But that was not the case.

  21370. I say yet them do what they want. If their channel makes you want to learn then good. Oh, speak English, Japanese and struggling through Korean and Japanese sign language.

  21371. You are so respectful of the people your around, what a Lovely Man🙏.. glad you show positive side to life in Japan.. the world needs people like you. And you can have a lauf too. Bless ya.. keep up your great work...🙏

  21372. As others have said here, there's no harm in having a bit of fun with languages. I had an Italian tutor for 2 months before a trip and had a better time on my vacation. I'm taking a trip to Switzerland in a few months and I'm doing the same with Swiss German. A foreign trip, learning phrases to impress your girlfriend's parents or a new neighbor, coworker, etc. It's fun and people tend to appreciate the effort you made to communicate. As was stated in the video, it depends on the motivation of the YouTuber, how they represent themselves, and especially if they are selling something. Pearl made a good point that the world doesn't need another language-learning system. Pretend fluency is more magic trick than language learning. Get the accent down, toss in some slang, and edit the bejesus out of the video seems to be the basic formula for YouTuber "polyglots" who should have a disclaimer before every video. Watch them as entertainment with a heavy dose of skepticism and get inspired to try it yourself. Nothing wrong with that, but without a Matrix-style download into your brain, language learning takes years of hard work.

  21391. Very interesting to watch as always! One thing, i maybe wouldn't point out every single person that looks at you or the camera, it might come across as overly self-conscious. Leave it to the viewers to point that out, the footage is already great as it is :)

  21412. You are great! Subs. I am from Singapore trying to learn Japanese language when i was 20++ (can't remember the actual year i was trying. at that time i met a Japanese girl while i am having a short vacation with my parent in Japan, i can't remember where i had been visited due to young age, We exchange broken conversation on the boat for almost 1-2 hrs. I find she is so cute - "Kawai" and we both exchange address and continue to write and call to talk over the phone in IDD at early 90' till dad found out our telephone bill was like almost S$9000.00 ! month in the 90's. that's shocking to my family!!!. it was so difficult to learn and there is no Internet) the only way to learn hiragana and katakana was by buying Japanese pop music cd. at my time, my one of my Fav Single is "Kudo Shizuka " and many more.. Japanese artist . Till now, i am 51 with 4 kids , 2 boys & 2 girls , i still couldn't speak a word of Japanese. My elder son was taking a short courses in Basic Japanese Language . He is able to speak very basic Japanese when i brought him to Okinawa 2 yrs ago. I felt so embarrass, My dad actually told him that i was interested in a Japanese girls before and i did not even get to learn a word of Japanese Lol... Anyway, your video is interesting with mixed of Mandarin, English & 北方 华语. I can fully understand . Keep up with the great video. Perhaps, consider making 1 or 2 episode of American English too. ( I study 2 yrs in Perth and 2 yrs with my ex gf in London E17 for engineering course) Been to LA, Ca, Vegas some donkey yrs ago too.. Love America . Great place and would like to go again when all my kids grow a little older. Cheers for now. Regards Benny Wong.

  21425. This is for EVERYONE🎉 If you worry about income, food, residency, your health and what will happen after you die. GOD desires our hearts. When we give Him our hearts, He imparts His own righteousness on us. And our communion in prayer is a joy for Him and us, as He uses this time to fill us and renew us. JOHN 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ROMANS 10:9 Confess out loud JESUS is LORD believe in your Heart GOD raised HIM from the Dead and you will be SAVED! ACTS 3:19 REPENT, and turn from your SINS, so your SINS may be FORGIVEN! 🙏✨

REF: song Blood Upon the Risers (Gory Gory What a Hell of a Way to Die) here on you tub. If you think what you did was a rush try it from 30.000 feet at night over water 2 miles from the beach! Linguistics is easy it is the second jump that it hard to do. All ways remember "A Journey of a thousand miles or thousands of feet begins but with a single step" Not dependent on direction. Congratulations on your accomplishments now about that Spanish ?

  21454. Great video sister. Is it ok if call you sister?

  21455. Their denial of saying "thank you" being rude seemed quite genuine, how do you know that the modern Chinese/Japanese are this way when they never tell you? It seems like this may be more of a traditional thing that the younger generation doesn't care about. My wife is Asian and says that most things like that don't really bother their version of millennials.

  21456. Looks stunning, but very costly for a small area. But also great for a couple without kids 😊. Also when you say a million dollars is that in USD or Yen ?

  21458. Still studying J even though you're perfectly fluent in it. That's the spirit!
    1
  21459. I speak fluently 5 languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian and English) ...I am a self-taught but I am also citizen of 3 countries so I lived and worked in many countries where these languages are spoken. I take online classes about Medicine, Geology, Naturopathy etc... from various universities in the world, in different languages, so I keep practicing and learning new words (technical) in those languages. You can't just say that you are fluent in a language and that's it, you know every single word in that language. You need to practice every day. To me, a language is a tool, a key that you need to open a door to more knowledge coming from different angles of the world. I don't just learn the language for the language itself, although I must confess that I sleep with fat bilingual dictionaries in my bed and experience so much joy just reading the words and imagining myself using them in daily life. I practice the 5 languages every day. In the morning, I listen to the news in French, listen to a Mexican radio while driving, watch movies in English at night , talk to some people in Romanian and work as a Medical Italian - English interpreter, sometimes Spanish and French too. Lately I noticed that my Portuguese got better too (that would be my 6th language). I understand almost everything a Portuguese speaker says. I don't consider myself fluent in Portuguese though since I only understand the language but can't speak fluently, only able to make short sentences. German is the same: I understand a lot if the person speaks slowly but then I can only make short sentences, sounding more like a child. So I am far from being fluent in German. But one day it will be my number 7 language. I am also trying to teach myself Japanese and Chinese and that's why I am here. Everyday my Chinese and Japanese get better but I am at the beginner level. I know how to write hiragana and katakana and can read, write and understand the Chinese characters at the HSK 2 level (a bit more than 300 characters). I can make short sentences but I don't understand when people talk in Japanese or Chinese to me, unless they only ask basic questions. I was thinking about making a channel but I get blocked when I turn the camera on. I get blocked in all the languages I speak. LOL.

  21466. It's great that when you switch to Japanese it's as if you actually turn into a Japanese person, with their mannerisms and gestures
    1
  21467. Your charm is irresistible!! You look energetic. I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships

I would really prefer to be in any appartment in Tokyo anyway. Congrats for the Youtube reward, I am really touched, I kwew it would happen. Warms regards from your old fan.

  21474. I speak English, I'm semi-fluent in Esperanto, I speak very little Spanish, and even less American Sign Language. As for Nahautl, I only know a few words. I don't see why anyone would claim to be a polyglot if they aren't.

  21521. Hi Anming. I'm studying Japanese currently and wanted to know what your approach has been for studying new vocabulary and reviewing, Chinese or Japanese. Do you use regular flashcards and review using rote memorization? Do you use a Spaced-Repetition System (SRS) like Anki (What I'm currently doing)? Or do you learn from context such as by reading something and highlighting new words? You seem like a language scholar so I'm very curious about your learning method.
    1
  21522. you.... are amazing. cannot stop watching!

  21526. Good job, that's a hard thing to do! I speak Russian and Arabic. Whenever I switch between the two I'm putting Russian case endings on Arabic words, conjugating Arabic verbs with Russian pronouns that have Arabic pronouns on the end, all sorts of craziness. It takes like 5 minutes to actually switch and be good in either.

  21533. Thanks so much for this Vid! Just subscribed! I’m still at N5-N4 and I’m struggling to just, get to N3 and be at a conversational level ya know? And memorizing Kanji is soo difficult! I use HelloTalk from time to time and it honestly is a great app! (I just get shy and suck at making language partners 😅) I’m taking Japanese classes here in America in my University but eventually I want to move to Japan as well. This video really gave me a reality check, I just gotta study harder and find more fun ways to learn Japanese! ありがとうございます！

  21537. After living in Japan for 10 years I applied for Eijuken (permanent residence visa) and I was told that I could also apply for Japanese citizenship. I applied for the PR and got it. I didn't apply for citizenship, as I wanted to maintain the citizenship of my birth country and allow my children to use my citizenship to apply for a PR in my birth country. With a PR I don't see any added benefit to becoming a citizen, but I don't understand why Joshua doesn't apply for citizenship.

Okay, so she speaks three languages, very fluently, is working on a masters, and is concerned that we might think she's 'stupid' because she did the normal things we all do...we ALL do: forget a wallet, a set of keys, a phone somewhere.

  21542. Danke!

  21543. This is what I was talking about!! You're so right about not seeing videos about this type of content! You have so much more to offer your viewers other than, "Foreigner does XYZ to shock locals." Your content is way more intelligent and I'm so happy to see that you are doing something that you obviously enjoy. When you like what you are filming, it really shows and I'm so here for it! 🥰

  21551. I'm glad i've found your channel. I'm learning both languages and your videos are helpful and entertaining at the same time. While watching your videos, i noticed you use this phrase: 还可以吧 hai keyi ba when someone praises your chinese. I've heard of other humble responses but not of this one. What does it mean? Is a common phrase there in China?

  21585. Being a polygot in English, Chinese and Japanese... Living with 6 Chinese nationals in Japan, you're able to utilize your languages proficiency. That's superb. I'm handicapped whenever I visit Japan as my 日本語is only N5 level. In Malaysia, due to it being multi racial, we locals tend to blend certain words from other languages into our daily speech. However, a foreigner, e.g an American like you, coming here, and speaking fluent Malay (our national language) would turn heads and impress the locals. Better still since you know Chinese given 23% of the population is Chinese. It would be a pleasant surprise, since our private sector operates in English and we would have automatically conversed with White visitors in English.

  21587. "Yeah I can play guitar, here's Wonderwall. Would you like some lesson?" But seriously I like this video if only because it goes against the grain to remind us that it is hard work, but that it is worth it (and btw wtf would you want to skip out on learning the kanji/hanzi? Outside of being an awesome way to learn vocabulary, that is like half the fun of learning Japanese and Chinese, not to mention being especially dangerous in Mandarin). Fun fact, according to Wikipedia, Japanese is the 13th most popular language in the world, despite having less than a percent of speakers as a second language. Unlike any other of the most popular language.
    1
  21588. I know EXACTLY how you feel...about having a strange life and connecting. I have lived in Japan, Korea, China and speak all of the languages. I often seek out these different groups in different countries, it is quite interesting actually and sometimes I forget what country I am in or language I am speaking, I have to remind myself. For example in Hanoi there is a Japanese neighborhood, Chinese stores in Korea, or Chinese speakers in Malaysia. Quit a trip for sure, thanks for the inspiration. peace from Macau.

  21598. similar happened to me when i went to Mahabalipuram in India and visited the shore temples and many Indian families came to take a picture with me.. just that i don't speak Tamil or any of the Indian languages.. I do have to admit that i was the only white person there, and some told me they never saw a man with green eyes. Some wanted me to hold their babies for pictures, so it got a bit weird at one point, but they were all very polite and nice people.

  21619. Totally agree. I got the feeling on a few videos. Often asking the same questions or giving the same answers.

  21620. this was a fun video to watch as a finnish speaking person. thanks for trying our weird little language! just a heads up, at 3:41 the long and USELESS word was accidentally misspelled😪. it's supposed to be lentokonesuihkuTURBIINImoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas not turbin. Are you going to need this word ever in your life? NO!

  21634. Hey, I just wanted to say that after watching several videos on your channel, I'm amazed at the strong similarities between people of different nationalities. If I didn't know better, it'd look like my local farmer's market or university campus. Because at the core of it all, people are people and thus we all share that same intrinsic human quality. Nice work :)

  21638. All the languages I want to learn: Japanese, Norwegian (maybe all three dialects I'll study), German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Latin. I've thought about Mandarin and maybe some other Chinese dialects, but I'm not completely sure. I think it's great what you and other YouTubers are doing with language learning. By doing some street talking videos. Because I believe language learning ought to be normalized. If someone doesn't want to learn a second language, then that's their choice, but if people love to watch videos or read about their interests in other languages, or just simply even get absorbed in another country's culture while studying the language of that country I think is actually really great. And there's definitely no need to keep your other languages to yourself, that's how you become one who doesn't study and practice well enough (at least, for me. As I don't have anyone to practice any languages with, so I'm stuck to not studying every day, because it just feels like a drag without anyone else to practice with).
    1
  21639. You're a big inspiration, thank you for these videos!!! After almost 2yrs at a Chinese company I now feel like I really, really want to learn the language. Pros: I can get help from my colleagues (and they really like to help) so I can study while working and Cons: It is hard... :D

  21640. Wow! That's so impressive! I was shocked when you started to speak japanese too! 😱😱😱

  21641. I always wondered why when people speak. In Japanese or Chinese, and are told they speak it well. Why they don't thank them, like hey thanks or thank you for noticing etc. Didn't know it would be views a certain way if you did. Good to know. 👍🏼

  21647. The term "Yankee" was not coined during the American Civil War (1861-1865) but rather the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). However the earliest recorded use of the word originates from the Dutch word, which was used as a nickname Jan "John" which then turned into, Janke of the same meaning. The term became somewhat relevant before the American Revolutionary War when it was used by the British to describe the people inhabiting New York (formerly the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam) or those of Dutch origins in a derogatory way. The original use of the song "Yankee Doodle Dandey" was to describe the people of New York (and by extension the rest of the rebelling colonists) as idiotic people, which was then somewhat reclaimed by the Rebelling Colonists as a rallying cry against the British Empire. The term was then transformed into a derogatory slang around the mid-1800's as tensions rose between the Northern and Southern States when regarding the issue of slavery, it then became defined loosely as; 1] An inhabitant of New England or one of the Northern States (Non-Slavery States). or 2] a Union soldier (United States Soldier) or 3] Supporter of Anti-Slavery or the Union Army, and latter anyone who did not support the C.F.O "Confederate States of America" (only used within the South).

  21655. You are very humble. You have mad language skills, in truth. But I am sure you worked hard to obtain them.
    1
  21656. curiosity can be creepy sometimes. but i guess those people who follow u secretly just kinda admire/amaze of ur language skills. i hope. but, keep up making contents yo girl. stay safe

  21660. So it's a lie like parents tell their kids or teachers tell their pupils, huh? Because you can discourage people by telling them the truth, or encourage them by lying to them. For me this is very weird and foreign, all the adults in my childhood would give me a slight compliment only if I was utterly amazing. Turns out it was my family and where I grew up.

  21661. They should not be taking photos of you. They should be taking videos of you, talking fluent Chinese!

  21670. Gah Katie is beautiful!!! It’s crazy the Japanese folks think she’s a foreigner because of her skin and hair but I guess it’s still not as many half black/half Japanese living there as I thought. We have many offer in the Is. at least they were polite about it

  21671. New subscriber! Just stumbled upon this video and I'm captivated!!!

  21672. Japanese has so many characters so I'm sort of curious how that all works when it comes to phones and messaging. That would be a cool video! Same with computer keyboards. (I hope that makes sense?)

  21680. Omg good job anming! You ate semi healthy, lol! Everytime I see you talk to people it makes me smile. Its nice to learn how people talk there and that not everyone is like people in Canada and the states. We're too reserved and shy.

  21684. Very insightful video and well documented. To give a point of feedback, I found the music a bit loud and distracting at times (around 3:10)

  21687. We do love the videos. I have a friend here that worked in Japan for several years and married a Japanese lady. I told him of your videos and he and his family watch them often. Like you, he tells me how difficult it was and still is to live here after spending several years in Japan. Keep the videos coming.

  21688. I'm really impressed!

  21690. 0:15 funny that's exactly what a spy would say
    1
  21691. This video explores a few different interrelated things. That Anming and Tommy have decided to publicly announce that their relationship was a serious one. In fact so serious, that they are engaged and planning a wedding. It was obvious to regular viewers of your video's that based on the manner you introduced him in the video's that your relationship was not casual and transitory in nature. So congratulations on finding each other, and realizing that you could create a forever future together. It highlight's that you are both your own people, and will continue to be individuals, whom have chosen to merge into a couple going forward. The second was that exploring how choosing to learn other languages can open new worlds and maybe change the direction of your lives, in way's that were never anticipated. Third that language exchange programs can improve not only your capabilities in your language of study, but can improve and change you life by expanding your circle of friends, acquaintances, maybe even lovers, and marriage partners. Fourth a conversation among a group of friends where although the primary language spoken was Japanese, English was used in just the general natural flow of conversation. So, as always a great video. Thanks for sharing.

  21697. Luca says a polyglot is someone who speaks three other languages to a fairly competent functional level, Anming (OP's name?) definitely is a polyglot in my mind because the high language level for two very different languages. Plus the way we count languages is rather arbitrary with Italian and Spanish being considered different languages but in practice they might be more similar to each than different dialects of Mandarin Chinese that she understands.

  21709. You didn't give them enough time I think. I really like what you are doing and I don't even understand Chinese. Nice if you have a theme or story for these beyond just seeking reactions, I think.

  21720. A lot of truth in this video. Thanks, Anmay (sorry I got it wrong last time). People always appreciate foreiners trying to speak the native language. The little white lie is to make you feel comfortable, you can't take it seriously. Just like someone saying "I like your hair", is it real or just empty air?

You have a great life ahead of you. Please continue with your education and career: Japan and the USA need more people with your education and skills (Language and the ability to articulate thoughts/ideas in three languages).

  21725. what was it you guys were eating at the end? you didnt tell us! lol also, amazing reveal on the physical changes the people made when you started speaking Japanese. i really feel that people around the globe understand english, but are too afraid/embarrassed to speak it because of their perceived accent. which is a shame, because i always say to them, imagine me trying to speak (their language here)! and laugh at myself :)

  21740. One way to avoid scams is to not be reachable, or appear unreachable. That means never responding to them. Same for trolls or creepers. It sucks if you want to establish a connection to your audience, but a lot of YouTubers do exactly that; it's a one-way communication, except when they actually meet groups of fans for example. You are reachable by anyone with an internet connection, so some sacrifices must be made to avoid wasting your time and stay focused on what you want to do. So completely ignore all that, never post about it, never make a video about it unless it's very non-specific, otherwise they'll target you again. They move on if they feel you aren't being reached.

  21743. I see a lot of these videos where the Chinese people say “your Chinese is better than mine” do the Chinese people have a tough time with mandarin as well? Or are they just giving a really nice compliment?

  21751. I followed polyglots on youtube knowing full well they are full of shit, I can admit it was entertaining enough to see reaction videos however. As in they may speak a second or third language at a decent level but anything beyond that is just numbers and "im learning this language because I love learning languages" or " im going to vacation there some day" ( if you know you know). I will full on stan and stimp for oriental Pearl on her quest to vanquish fake polyglots.
    1
  21752. 10:49 "That's happened in China to me many times [...] I guess it happens in Japan, too" You literally asked for directions to a Chinese person working in a Japanese convenience store; do you realize that? If your point was that Chinese people always misdirect you, both in China and in Japan, then you have thoroughly proven it.

  21759. did my mind I'll be digging like certain people look what they look but it's not like I'd be imagining so it's like certain Japanese wolf Japanese was like certain black people or in a different race or like black Japanese look Japanese or black Chinese look Chinese but sometimes they don't so it'll be confusing and so for 15 years I didn't even know so now I'm learning I don't even know if I ever seen a black person that is a Japanese or or a black Asian or Chinese or Korean it's like in my mind maybe I have maybe I did I don't know I'm more like as confused as itching my head but I'm interested

  21778. You can’t help wondering about お上手ですね！I take it with a grain of salt but I think it’s nice of them to say it. I would never be mistaken for native but a lot of people think I have lived in Japan for a while or something which makes feel good about my Japanese.
    1
  21779. @2:04 only 1 class in learning  the Koto / Guzheng some  time ago .  Impressive on Anming's ability to quickly learn and retain. @5:50 cool to have a private onsen. Please bring a kitchen thermometer next time, curious to know how hot the water is. @7:20 thank you for the tip on Rotenburo Onsen - to be out in a outdoorsy nature-setting.

  21780. I am just curious how many languages you can speak? your japanese is good as well

  21790. I’m not a polyglot but I am bilingual to some degree with the mother tongue. Being Asian decent in the USA I’m already seen as a foreigner till I speak. I think this issue destroys people’s comfort levels with their idea of foreigners. those non polyglots who are criticizing you to take offended stances and call out polyglots because they themselves as they criticize others don’t want to do the work to speak multiple languages. Side note: hopefully other polyglots can answer this but as a polyglot do you listen to a lot of bilingual or trilingual music?

  21791. you are a RARE DIAMOND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21796. Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos and they inspire me to learn Mandarin and Japanese. I got interested a year ago and gave up because I all was using was Duolingo and not making it far, however I recently found a Reddit community with a lot of insight and once I get my Mandarin to a higher level, I plan to study in China (I've looked at Harbin and CLI as well as Keats). Thanks for making videos and hope to see more!

  21806. You’re from Motown? That makes me even more happy. That’s my home city! I’m always so impressed when Americans take time to learn an Asian language. I wish it was part of our education curriculum in the U.S.

  21817. You are really cool! They wanted you to have your drink there because they wanted to keep talking to you, they were really surprised and probably felt really pleased that you could speak their language which such fluency.

  21821. I'm from Chile, so the start of the video was not that surprising. We have above 6.0 earthquakes every few years and above 8.0 at least every decade. We're so used to them that we can tell how strong they are by feel; I wonder if Japanese people have that superpower too 😂. Loved the rest of the video. 毎日の生活の動画が一番好きです。是非頑張ってくださいね!🙌🏻

  21829. you deserve more cuz I've wanted to learn japanese.

  21830. Well allow me to disagree only good japanese will do the job. The entire influence, the way you look, the way you dress and act is also important. You have the luck being pretty, have a nice hair and smile. Even if your japanese is well but you were some grumpy or average chick, I doubt kids would crowd around you like this. So don't mislead people everything is possible if you learn your lesson. It's not like that and we both know it.

  21833. Hi! New to the channel (and Sub'd) I'm a Japanese American born in New Jersey, USA. Both my parents are Japanese, so this makes me a 1st Generation Japanese American. Although I had US Citizenship before, I gave it up when the Japanese government told me I had to choose One, but now I regret I did that since a LOT of my dual citizen friends still keep both citizenship without problem. Now I'm trying to get a Greencard so I can move to the United States, to live my retirement days there. (I'm 60 and don't need to work for a living)

  21840. It was my first train trip in China with my Chinese wife around 30 years ago. I could only speak a few words but when my wife left the train cabin for a few minutes I understood that a young lady whispered to her neighbour that I am a German devil. When I answered: "YES, I'm a German devil!" this lady's face became red like a tomato. I guess my wife had told her about my nationality just before she went out.

  21849. Is $25,000 the annual salary for foreigners or by average for locals? Is that the salary for China or Japan? Whats the salary for both? Do you plan to work in China or Japan? You must be their favorite teacher - so lean and not strict! The boys look naughty, lol!

  21875. Michigan represent! I'm hopefully heading to Japan this fall. Thanks for sharing your story! I hear you about the Japan Youtube culture, though. People ask me if I'll want to start a youtube channel, but it's honestly not appealing to me. But maybe making more authentic content like yours would be a better fit.
    1
  21876. Love this
    1
  21877. At 5:15...did you copy "squiggle...squiggle...squiggle..." from travel Youtuber BALD AND BANKRUPT? He said the same thing in his vlog in Myanmar! Lol

  21883. Love your channel!! I guess one of the biggest things that is so unique about your channel is the sense of simplicity it has. It's just you with a camera. I kinda got tired of watching all the big productions from other channels, they seem kinda fake to me (most of them just try to capture the reactions of the people and don't focus on the conversations). This channel is just so real which is very refreshing to watch. You do get surprised reactions but you also show the rest of the conversation too, which feels like you're a friend who's showing us an inside view of the Japanese/Chinese lifestyle. Thanks for all the content. We love you! ❤️

  21884. The tone of voice change when he speaks English is so sweet. It reminds me of a happy child. 💚

  21885. Ooh that was a short video? Great as usual thanks Anming. That lady at the temple was so into you. Did you notice her flirting with you? 😂
    1
  21886. Yes!!!! some people ignore rules. I recommend Okinawa that is the best place in Japan! I live in the west of Tokyo . It's very piece and good area so you can see beautiful scenery 　東京の田舎です！
    1
  21887. Have you consider doing a video “ when Asians visit America “ O.o , I don’t know about kids , I’m personally scared!!!
    1
  21888. I totally agree with what Matt says because when people talk to me about foreign people they know who speak "really good English" I think to myself that Is your personal opinion of their language ability and I will decide whether I think they are good or not WHEN I HEAR THEM SPEAK!!!
    1
  21889. Would love to see more on current business culture and customs as well as politics. Japan as well as China and Korea. You are a strategic asset to those doing business in the region.

  21890. Keep going. Your show is awesome!!!

  21891. I’m so jealous of her hair 😄 harajuku and shibuya are the top two places in Tokyo that I always enjoy wandering 😚

  21892. Seriously my goal is to speak Japanese like you in the near future

  21893. Goed gezegd

  21894. This is just me being curious so do they not meet a lot of foreigners who can speak their language?
    1
  21895. What a fun video! For once, we didn't miss Anming speaking in her mother tongue. I bet its scary how many calories those guys burn each day. A restaurant that does an "Eat As Much As You Like" deal would be stripped bare in minutes.
    1
  21896. I love that you came up on my recommended videos page! I’ve been thinking about moving to another country and but have a lot of things to consider before deciding to do so. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to live in Japan and would sporadically teach myself a little bit abiut Japanese like common phrases, the names and meanings of different places or celebrations. I grew up enjoying anime and manga and with the pandemic giving me too much spare time, I’ve gotten into learning about various things, currently I’m teaching myself about Romaji, Kana and Kanji because the creator of My Hero Academia puts a lot of thought into the series. With all that random information, I appreciate your making these videos! It’s helpful for knowing what to expect if I were to move there and also in a social psychological standpoint, not to mention a fictional writing standpoint!
    1
  21897. Coolest part of the video was the dog with sunglasses. Don’t blink! Let me add a thank you Anming too for this video, I learned something new. The “Orente” was interesting too, but it didn’t look like what it is. Haha.
    1
  21898. Y’all are dope, keep doing what you do. Much love to your family stay strong

  21899. Thanks, you really are a PEARL!

  21900. I totally get the lifestyle change. I currently life in a super small apartment in one of the dorms of my university. It is 15 square meters, the kitchenette is basically just two burners and a sink in the hallway. But at least it has a big window and the bed can be put up to make more room and I live there alone. We share 3 washing machines and one small room to hang clothes between 150 people. At this point I much prefer washing most of my clothes that aren't too dirty in the sink by hand instead of waiting for a free machine and having to clean it first. But as you said, it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent living situation. Hope you can move out soon and find a nicer place in Shanghai. And yes I would love to pack my bags and experience a completely new culture. My university is in the neighbouring country of my homecountry so the change isn't too big culturally. But the subtle differences are sometimes even more confusing because I don't expect them. Whereas in a completely different culture I expect things to be different so I'm less shocked about it. I traveled Japan for 3 months in 2015 and worked at small farms. It was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I might move a bit farther abroad for some time after finishing my degree. Or maybe do a Master's Degree abroad if I can find one that fits my goals and will accept me. Good luck with your studies!

  21901. This video randomly showed in my feed (I'm in Metro Detroit), so I checked it out. What a fun experience you documented. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

  21911. It really annoys me that someone like Sharmeleon has so many subscribers compared to you. You have so much more personality and speak three languages. She just talks about her day and shows off Japan. Barely speaking a word of Japanese. Dumb. Possibly invest in a better camera, maybe? Not sure what she has that you don't.
    1
  21912. Haha. More like her target audiences are more interested in dumb contents than pure miss pearl here who made video out of love 4 us.
    1
  21913. Thanks, great video. You are a dear heart... It is not unique to you. There is a shift in body language as you shift from one language to another. You probably know this, that the spoken word is just a small portion of communication. Inflection, pitch, volume, facial expression, posture all have their impact. Once again, DT Suzuki is a master at explaining Buddhism , his book Zen And Japanese Culture a must read for those that want/need a deeper understanding of Nippon. Yeah I'm off-center. I'm on the spectrum of Asperger's. That's why I'm self taught about so much... eclectic. :-D

  21914. Luved the vid as always. Keep'em coming, Pearl. Thanks for your awesome work. 🚀

  21915. These comments about speaking a foreign language applies all over the world. I always hear, " after living here for so many years, why dont you speak perfectly". This also is a bummer.
    1
  21916. Call me strange but I've never once thought someone was talking about me if they were speaking another language around me. I probably just don't care enough to come to that type of conclusion, even if they may actually be talking about me lol. Also, being from the US and how diverse the area I'm from is, I tend to not use the word "foreign" when describing another language.

  21920. Loved your video!!!!
    1
  21921. In my opinion, 90% of Japanese people do actually mean it when they say "Your Japanese is very good". We often tend to think that most foreigners can't speak Japanese (Not that it's a bad thing), therefore most of us get surprised when they can speak Japanese. So the first thing that comes of our mouth is that phrase haha.
    1
  21922. That looks so nice. I would love to learn that game too. It's called Go in Korea, but I have no idea how to do it. I suppose it is easy to find a youtube video to learn.

  21923. Hi can i know what language did you learn first ? And what step did you take ? Do you have/made video on that ? I would watch. I'm 26 and want to learn chinese. But i dont how/where to start.

  21927. Pimsleur is a very good place to start. I used the French pimsleur lessons. It will not teach you to speak a language per se, but it is a very quick way to start. How quickly it progresses without leaving the listener behind gives some confidence. I did spend 8 days in Tokyo back in 2006. I was a guy in his 30s. Most people were friendly. I did get a few cold stares, which told me they were annoyed by me. Although, it may have been because I was drunk. I never got harassed by the police. The only thing one cop told me was to pick up my cigarette butt off the side walk, which is very reasonable. The only time I saw the cops yelling angrily at anyone was yelling at some homeless men. All in all, they have a mostly nice demeanor.

    1
  21935.  @OrientalPearl  I also noticed that your Zhi Chi Shi didn't sound quite as much like the Beijing accent. I had heard in your other video about buying books from a Chinese bookstore where you were talking with more of a Beijing Zhi Chi Shi.

    1
  21942. i love your channel
    1
  21943. Finally finished watching all videos (well....after 5 the reaction videos got old) so I must like something about you. But to be fair, that doesn't mean 100% , so if a comment isn't necessarily positive, maybe just something point out something "you are touching your hair a lot" , you may even use it as opportunity to improve. Like when learning a language. Can't please everyone 100% anyway "talk about my boyfriend....don't talk about my boyfriend". More people more opinions, more disagreements. So better to make the video for yourself not trying to please others. (not sure about the financial side of it) And yes, while it's about Japan, it is about YOU, we see YOU, we watch YOU eat, we watch YOUR reactions. So who knows how we ended up here, but we if we stay, YOU have a lot to do with it. From there it's all personal. That dude is funny, but also dominating. (and I wrong?) Kids are great for telling as they see it. We love them so we forgive them. But as adults, we can't live like that. You may not want to go back to China (I'm glad) but some day you might, so still watch what you say. You are a "public person" now . I'm sure you know about the Two Michaels and how we have no idea if they did anything. (also because how the courts are there) sad. You are definitely unique. "little weird" probably that will set you apart from others not your editing skills. More to say you have ?! (probably won't get that one as you don't seem to be a movie watcher) yes, but I stop here. :)

  21950. Haters gonna hate, it's like a white person trying to learn about black culture, people always have something to say. This teaches people like me who want to go to japan what to expect to a certain degree. Thanks for the info. Keep, keeping it real.

  21955. I really love how you genuinely interact with those around you Anming! It sounds very natural & trying your best to speak in the native youngest of the people you encountered. It definitely motivating for me because I’m slowly going back to study Japanese again & want to dabble a bit of Korean & ASL here & there
    1
  21956. I watched all your videos by now and have a question. When ppl compliment you on your chinese/japanese you never say "thank you" but instead you say "ah it's ok" or something like that...would saying thank you be "rude" or make you seem arrogant in this situation? Greetings from Germany! Danke! ^_^y

  21963. The Japanese have a concept of Tatemae (建前) and Honne (本音). When they say they'd like to go out with you, often it's said out of politeness, not out of true feelings. They will only tell you their true intentions (本音) only if you have been accepted deep within their social circle. Else, everything said should be taken at superficial level.

  21996. Japanese youth fashion is so alternative, creative and pleasing to the eyes, albeit some can be over the top! I think it’s in their DNA, since the 80s, the Harajuku kids have always been leading the fashion trends , and now it’s still the same. Have not gone to Tokyo the past one year, look like psychedelic colourful design is in fashion. Anyway you look gorgeous with the summer hat, wearing hats suit you!

  22013. I’ve eaten rotten fish, fried tarantulas, bugs and all kind of weird food but nato was the only food my brain told me “no no no this is wrong”! As you said it’s not the flavour but the texture! I have however managed to at least swallow a few bites after ordering a bit every time I go out to eat on a Japanese restaurant!

  22018. Interesting how women give gifts in February and men in March. I would imagine foreigners are much more shy doing public hot spring baths due to the nudity among strangers.

  22019. You’re so humble, when people tell you that you’re so good! I am sure you are! I want to learn Chinese, how hard was it? I’m guessing Japanese is probably a little easier, but Chinese is so beautiful! Are there many cognates?

  22020. I never called myself a polyglot but after watching this video I can say that most people born in the carribean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are polyglot. For example born and living on the lowlee islands you start at kindergarten with Papiamentu and Dutch. At the primary school you get English and Spanish. At the secondary school you get French. After finishing secondary school you can be fluent in minimum 4 languages around the age of 18. As these island are multicultural some kids are fluent in minimum 5 languages if their parents are from other countries like China, Portugal, Haiti etc. After living the in the Netherland for almost 15 years my English got bad. This year want to improve my English for business purposes. And the coming years I want to improve the other languages that I already know. So after 4 years I can start a new language. I'm thinking about Romanian, Hebrew and mandarin

  22033. It's nice to see people who are open to talk like that in Japan, but in harajuku is like to go at the five ave in New York and speak english to someone. I meet my best friend in doughnut cafe. He went to study my mother language (is not english ;) and I went to study japanese. 東京はいいんだけど、関西の方が楽しいと思います。しかし一番いい所は田舎です、日本人はもっと優しいと思います。 Deberias intentarlo/やってみてください/You should try

  22035. YES, Americans say "sorry" for smaller/quick mistakes. If you bump into somebody on the subway, you say: "Sorry!" But, if you spill your coffee on somebody, on the same subway, you must apologize and then...RUN, as soon as the doors open!!! I remember one time, I went to a movie theater and got a pack of popcorn. As soon as I got back to my seat, by mistake I poured/dropped the whole buttery popcorn on top of the person sitting in front of me!! I DID APOLOGIZE 100X!!! I DID NOT RUN, THOUGH!! Love your channel! Keep it up!!!Chris/NYC

  22046. Pretty neat that you go outside Tokyo to see Japanese perspectives because most YouTubers videos are mainly in Tokyo where I think westerners are more welcome vs more places outside that may not be as welcoming. I recently moved to Iwakuni Japan in the Yamaguchi prefecture and that area is very old generation/old school feel. While the Japanese there are friendly, I also find there is a lot of discrimination against westerners specially in many restaurants as some will not allow you inside their business because you are a westerner.

Thanks so much for all your cool videos and I truly wish you both the best for the future 👍

  22066. I'd be proud of my daughters if they were as polite as this young lady is to her future in laws... I keep telling my girls why can't they be more like this Oriental Pearl chick she's polite and she speaks Japanese and stuff.. while my college-aged kids still watching anime love Japanese culture but afraid to eat the food.. we're Mexican we eat cow tongue and brains and stuff at least the Japanese food looks pretty our food looks exactly what it is..lol
    1
  22067. Good stuff guys. Growing up in a multi-lingual environment does make a difference in developing a feel for languages. What is cool about other languages is that they can take you to another conceptual plane because the word/phrase/saying describing the underlying feeling/emotion/idea are 'exactly right'. I also like that as a native speaker you can be surprised at people new to the language who speak and use it better or more eloquently than you do. Couple of years ago I complimented a co-worker on her well polished Dutch not realizing she was foreign, it was just a genuine compliment. She commented that she fled Afghanistan four years previously as an illiterate ... I would never have guessed. Impresses me more than polyglots with or without talent ;-)

  22068. I don’t comment a lot but I’ll do this time. I LOVE how you keep things interesting and different on your channel! It doesn’t feel like watching the same vid over and over again. I love the way you share those little moments of your life with a lot of context and explanations about the country you’re currently in. Regarding this video in particular, I love the fact that you were able to spend some time with this man without making it weird or letting him think he could have more than just a drink. It was just a nice interaction to watch imo. You seem like a really outgoing and nice girl, and I think the way you’re handling your channel is brilliant. You deserve to have a lot more of subscribers and I’m sure you will. Take good care of yourself girl! Cheers from France :)

  22069. Maybe you didn't know this but Finnish itself is an advantage to learn Japanese, not because there are many cognates or same characters, but the sentence structure is quite similar. Same happens with other languages like Hungarian or Turkish, they all share the "backwards" thinking adding many suffixes, so it's more natural to these speakers. In contrast it's more natural to you learning other languages Subject-Verb-Object than Subject-Object-Verb, but of course with enough practice everyone gets better at their fields.

  22070. we are staying in Shinjuku right now... at the Godzilla head hotel.. LOL. We were bar hopping Thursday but didn't stay out late. I think we were done at 22:00. I'm glad we turned in and didn't stay out late. I told my partner that if I somehow saw you while we were in Tokyo I would yell "hey Michigan!" (I'm originally from Michigan, btw) I was surprised to see all the police and security out in Shinjuku. We also read a couple of articles about the city cracking down on public drinking. But it didn't seen to stop anyone.

  22071. i can totally feel your emotions of thinking of your family far away at the rough time in US. Hope everything will get better soon. in Jan and Feb, i was depressed with the pandemic situation my family were facing in China and felt so helpless.

  22075. When you start dreaming in a multilingual form you have finally reached the pinnacle. My Japanese accent is much stronger inflected with my English NYC roots. I always go back and forth. I speak ASL as well but the Japanese sign is very different so I have to write it down in Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana as well as romaji to have a good conversation. I can read Spanish and understand it basically, and some French as well. My Chinese is rudimentary but I can read their menus easily as long as it is not that short-form characters used by the CCP. I read it and point. If you cannot read Japanese or at least understand the meanings of the characters, I can send you some hints. Keep up the great videos being brave and prosperous for the new year.

  22099. Staying in Japan is the best for you at the moment. Nobody knows about the real figures and number of cases reported from China. Some Chinese medical doctors were silenced and some people have disappeared. The situation in China seems foreboding... Staying safe is a must. I think you are a very courageous individual to live in Japan and going through this madness of not being able to return home.

  22101. Interesting Hotel. Before you mentioned that they were somewhat lenient towards tattoos, piercings and beards I was actually expecting to see that from it's almost Rock n Roll (for lack of a better description) vibe.

  22126. Fun to see a new video from you. I can totally understand people wondering if others around them are talking bad at them in another language, sometimes you can tell they are talking about you but because it's in another language you can't but help think it may be bad. I think it's just that it's in another language you feel that they are saying something secret they don't want you to hear. But reality is like you said it's rarely a bad thing. I think especially in Japan people just aren't that rude there. Now if your in an American high school and kids snickering in another language i totally would expect them to be talking bad about you but that's America, people are often rude here and not as respectful or afraid of saying rude things. So yea i can see why people assume this but like you said best way to know is to learn some other languages. I really want to learn Japanese myself just for fun, not that it's too helpful here in America, but i should really learn Spanish as that is the most common foreign language here, especially in Florida.
    1
  22127. I particularly like your point about giving it a rest when you are trying too hard too fast. Like you, I had times where I gave it up completely. Yet 日本語 kept coming back to me. I also learned to stop comparing myself with other people because feelings of smugness or bitterness only interfere with my own progress.
    1
  22128. let face the facts, it will never be normal for many people to speak many different languages.

  22129. Keep up the good work! haters gonna hate because of a thing called jealousy!

  22130. I always hit them with the "sochira koso" (as in your Japanese is even better!). Usually gets a laugh. Or a weird confused uncomfortable smile.

  22143. was watching ur videos all weeks but still don't follow you what a shame
    1
  22144. I dont remember which youtuber, may be it was you, youtuber once said when he/she asked the chinese/korean/japanese person why arent they surprised when he/she spoke their language, person's response was "are you surprised when I speak english in your country? Why should I be surprised when you speak in my homeland?" There can be no better response I guess. Still, I have very much respect to all people who spend their time for learning new languages and communicate with people in their mother language. 👏👏

  22148. Question: Did you learn Chinese first and then moved on to Japanese afterwards or did you learn both at the same time?

  22163. I think I speak for everyone when I say ...”I see no disability” . Overcoming has clearly been accomplished. Every man alive would have his dream come true having a woman like Lisa . She can have whoever she wants . Congrats to her for being in a band and not allowing anything to hold her back . It’s safe to say you met a good friend here . And the same compliments go to Pearl as well . But your not single . So ...lol staying tactful here

  22165. I am pleased to see that Tommy had a fantastic visit to Michigan. You two are perfect for each other and I wish you the best life. It was sad to see Tommy have to return to Japan without you, but hopefully you will be reunited soon, if you haven't already returned. One more thing: Seeing that your step-dad is fluent in Japanese and studied there explains why he didn't look like he had culture shock at your wedding... he's already been there and done that. 1%? Ridiculous. Subscribe to this channel, folks! It's free and fun!

  22171. Another informative Video - Thanks..! Its great seeing the reactions to a 'foreigner' speaking Chinese/Japanese.......do you think age is a barrier to learning Japanese? Im very keen to do so, but am not sure the learning ability is still there for me..! I think if I could practise on / with Japanese people in my area it would be easier, but there are not many Japanese speakers in my area, alas........maybe in my next life...! 😉

  22173. なつかしいよ！ I’m probably using that term incorrectly but I miss visiting Japan. I love Tokyo and Japan and it was great to watch this video. It almost feels like I’m there again! Also I now want an orange Santa suit! 🤣

  22174. This is the first video I’ve seen on this channel. The way you edited this is refreshing! It was cool how you fit different scenes where you were talking about the same topic.

  22176. What is Harajuku girl's Instagram name? I want to look her up. Do you know? I would appreciate it. And also love this video because it show the interaction with the more open "you be you" side of Japanese people.

  22177. I loved this video. I now know more about you. It was interesting to hear the differences in our countries.

  22179. The food looks amazing!!! It's almost too pretty to eat!!!

  22180. I don't think Japanese people are unwelcoming to making interactions.. They're humans after all. If your intentions are sincere enough, you'll be welcome the same way in any corner of the world.

  22181. I am still watching to the end as always. It's the Chinese language that fascinate's me. I have dyslexia so is difficult for me to understand written words and am wondering about the difficulty reading Chinese characters? My girl friend told me how to spell most of this message! Thank you from a massive English viewer.

  22184. In East Asia, a foreigners who speak their language wins respect! Think the reason that Tokyo Japanese don't talk to foreigners is likely because most of them cannot speak English. In Japanese culture, they are afraid of embarrassment and that is why they don't want to talk to strangers who are foreigners as they think that foreigners can't speak their language.
    1
  22185. WOW we must be very proud with your Amazing change as a picky eater to a risk taker! LOL and of course we have to Imitate you🤣🤣

  22187. 3:51 I mean of course she was happy because she don’t speak English and wasn’t sure what you were trying to get at so she tried to ignore you. Japanese is a must know language that’s like going to Russia without knowing any Russian at all you won’t survive 😂

  22189. Fact is that big contries peopole take his contrie language like naturalu´y even out his other country. I born and live Estonia .Here is normal that You can speak 3 languages and no extorinary if You speak 4 or 5 languages. Local languages is Estonian, English and russian.

In school teahcing estonian, russian,english . I learn in school germany ,but practice in Estonia is low = I understand but 30 years I forgett grammar.

  22212. I wish I could do what you are doing. Speak Chinese n Japanese and make videos. I am really jealous.
    1
  22213. I went insane many days whilst teaching primary aged kids in Japan, Korea or Taiwan over 4 years. I also wanted to play games and be their friend, but if there wasnt a Chinese co-worker having some influence, you just cant do it, there will be kids that will misbehave and ruin the learning objectives. So you have to be a cop at times, and use rewards/punishments to control behaviour, and yeh that's a personality thing and not fun.

  22232. Its a good thing chinese and americans etc like to chat to randoms cus im british and really dont lol. Another english speaking guy approached me in akihabara once after the 2011 earthquake, i was living in ueno and wanted to walk down to see akihabara when it was totally off and empty cus when else can you do that? i think i had stopped to reply to a msg on my phone after taking a few photos and some random starts chatting to me (my mistake was to reply in my native english thinking he was a tourist and was gonna ask me directions since buses were all rammed and all cabs were taken). he starts asking where im going / what im doing in that "oh that sounds fun AKA please invite me too!" kinda way... So I made a polite "well good luck have a nice day" exit, and yet he proceeded to walk behind me for like 25 mins so much so that i made sure he wasnt actually there before going into my place so he wouldnt know where i lived lol. dude i am not your best friend just cus im also an english speaker, i dont even like to be bothered in my own country, so nothing changed just cus im abroad lol. I probably sound super harsh but yeh thats my reaction to when randoms speak to me lol and since being followed im even more wary of engaging even when someone looks like they just wanna know how to read a map or put money on a train card etc. I always thought only girls got followed before that lol.

  22237. It's a lot quieter these days for halloween in Shibuya, usually local partiers are joined by millions of tourists who come for halloween so even if it still gets very busy it's not quite as heaving as it was a couple of years ago. Think the last time I went out for Halloween was 2018-19 forget which one and I was freaking out because you couldn't move anywhere around the station. Was supposed to meet friends for drinks somewhere else and getting the Yamanote was a joke lol.

  22243. I want to learn Japanese but icant afford money. Is there any other way to learn mam?
    1
  22244. I think this would be the same in so many countries. I think a lot of non anglophones don't realize how rude it can be to just blurt out English out of nowhere. I feel like learning to say "Hi do you speak english?" (or any similar phrase) in the target language is a better approach that would make everyone more comfortable (besides, it's always a nice party trick to know a phrase or two in another language). I would love to know the opinion of an anglophone on the matter (specially if you've travelled abroad and more so if it was to a place where people couldn't speak a lot of English)!
    1
  22245. Note to Oriental Pearl and Lisa the Rockstar: Oriental Pearl, I enjoy your videos and that your passion is bridging the gap. Yes, there are some others with the same passion, but there's only one YOU. And same to Lisa the Rockstar; you're unique, and THAT is what people not only love to see, but need to see. Both of you young ladies are doing a great job. And, I wouldn't even waste a minute on these fake critics. They're only projecting their own shortcomings.
    1
  22246. Congrats your famous! Yeah gonna be hard to make surprise reactions vids speaking Japanese and Chinese when everyone knows you. Not sure if moving would help when your vids are available all over the world unless its an area where people don't have YouTube. Might want to start brainstorming new ideas buddy!
    1
  22247. I know many people who speak many languages. It's not surprising. Malaysians speak at least 3 languages. HK people speak at least 3 languages. It's very common. Singapore people speak 3-4 languages minimum. Asians pretend to be surprised because it's polite. I think the surprising thing about an American speaking Chinese is that Chinese people think Americans don't know many languages. Russians probably would know Chinese and it's common.

  22256. I remember my first trip to Japan in 2014. I was by myself, feeling a bit down, in a sitting area near some vending machines and this older gentleman offered to buy me some tea. He spoke little English and this this was before I figured out Google Translate, but I sincerely appreciated the gesture. I had just lost my husband a month ago and kinda felt it was an angel message of comfort.

  22261. I have to admit...I love your Michigan accent. I'm from southwestern Ontario (shares the border with Detroit) and have lived 16 years in western Canada. It's interesting what I've come to love about the Windsor-Detroit area...after moving away. A video series from your ex-pat perspective about Michigan might be an interesting side project :-)
    1
  22262. The weather is one reason why I don't think I would like to live in Japan all year round. The times I visited Japan, the summers were brutal, not only the heat but especially the humidity. And the winters were so cold. I guess I'm spoiled by California weather. Sure it gets hot and cold here too, but not as bad as in Japan IMO.

  22279. I really appreciate videos like this, it's important to see these sides of areas, especially places that people talk about and idolize. I live near Vancouver, a place that a lot of people talk about, but there is a street where people die of overdoses pretty much every day, and parts of the Chinatown are run-down and there have been cases of violence and hate crime. I still like Vancouver a lot and want to visit it more before I move away, but it's important to know about safety before going. I still love Japan, and it's very safe (part of the reason I want to live there), but I think it's important to acknowledge these problems.

  22283. I taught teens in China. They were used to strict teachers. When I got strict and imitated the strictness of the Chinese teachers, they got in line and respected me more. They do think of you as a plaything. There are specific methods of classroom management that people don't know if they just try going overseas to teach.

  22295. I did enjoy and I can understand your vexation at the “ oh your Chinese is so good” but as you said “ I just want to be accepted “ well unless you plant yourself into a local village it’s not going to happen in my opinion . You are mixing with city folk! 😂 and you will always be a foreigner to them 😎 but I think as you said “ it doesn’t really bother me now “. And you use it for the vids ! Myself I would wear it like a badge 🖖

  22301. I live over in Chiba. and I often go to the asian supermarket run by a Chinese guy whos always super nice. Its the only place I know of that I can regularly get american Root beer. lmao I always wish I could speak to him in Chinese but we only speak in Japanese. Im so jealous of your Chinese speaking skill! haha I can only switch between Spanish, English and Japanese the way bounce back and forth. Guess I gotta study more!
    1
  22302. Omg, i studied japanese many years ago and i used to speak basic japanese and because of not practicing i forgot many vocabulary, i have a japanese friend who is a teacher i’ll start practicing with her again! Thanks for this videos, it motivates me to start learning japanese again, 😉

  22303. Man, seeing those surroundings reminded me of my favorite Kawabata novel, "Snow Country".

  22304. Whenever you dive into a subgenre of any kind, you'll find the gatekeeping elitists. Music, food, fashion, sports, hobbies, it happens all the time. As someone who is not on the polyglot side of youtube, I have seen those "foreigner shocks locals" videos and thought they were pretty fun and wholesome, never felt the need to give it a second thought. I'm also from Serbia and hearing any foreigner speak my language, especially outside of my country would no doubt be surprising and make me smile. The "why are you taking video" argument is just a boomer way of thinking. Overall I feel like this is 1000% a made up issue.

  22316. Very nicely done, I enjoyed your video very much. How refreshing, thank you,
    1
  22317. I look at it this way. I learn a lot more about the different cultures, traditions, and many other things I never knew about from learning many different languages. It expands my mind, keeps my mind active, and helps me to bridge connections with other people from other countries who aren't able to connect alone. The best thing I experienced when speaking Korean in a Korean store was getting free food every time. Keep doing what you're doing, Anming. Ain't no one gonna stop you, Wouter, Xiaoma, and many others from connecting with the world.

  22318. Enjoyable videos as always. Even with that dreadful pullover Tommy had on. Remember "Go Green, Go White"!

  22329. This is the form of respect I like to earn from these people. To have so much interest in their culture that I want to learn how to write and speak it. I knowhowtos speak, read and write Korean already and just started with duolingo's Chinese and japanese, but using the 101 sites really is a great step to take it further & more deeply. Thanks for inspiring me to continue! I know I have a long way to go, but I won't let that stop me anymore

  22334. This encourages me to learn Chinese more 🤩
    1
  22335. I can think of 2 reasons why Chinese don't take complements 1. Chinese parenting - complements are not usually given. 2. Being humble is big part of confucianism which is the cornerstone of Chinese culture.

  22350. 16:30 It's worse than that, they start getting annoyed that you're so "poor" at speaking. Quite funny because when you're far less proficient they think so much more highly of you!
    1
  22351. This vid is soooo cool with much clear audio and visual details! This vid makes me feel surreal as you and your bf talk in Chinese while a discussion about natto and sea weed. People would believe that this were a Tarantino movie^^ I wonder how you call your bf btw^^

  22353. I was in Nepal in the 90s (i'm an european) and I strolled through a quieter part of Kathmandu, when I realized that an elderly man was shouting at me, waving his walking stick. I was confused and tried to ignore him, but he yelled even louder, pointing at me, so suddenly dozens of people were looking at me. Then he walked across the street. When the old man was in front of me, he looked at me, bowed with his hands put together, said Namaste and then started thanking me in broken English for visiting his country and learning about his culture. Then he went away. Will never forget that.

  22363. I am always so impressed by and a little jealous of those who speak two or more languages. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s fluently. As long as the person could get their point across. I’m an American in my early 60’s and I tried to learn a second language in high school but I just couldn’t seem to grasp it even though I took all four years. Broke my heart.

  22367. Kawagoe is a great day trip from Tokyo. There are lots of neat Edo era buildings that the city has preserved. The beans at the shop being mentioned are tasty and huge! As for bye bye usage here in the US, my experience is that it’s basically “baby talk”. Adults would not use it between one another unless they are very close. I have also heard people in Europe use it just as they do in east Asia. Another thing, as others have already pointed out, Yankee can be derogatory in the south. Thanks for posting this video!

  22368. Great video! Thanks for sharing their amazing stories 🥰

  22369. I am mixed race also. Curaçao (Caribbean) Dutch and a bunch of other country's. I live in Sweden now and we moved in Japanese people for my work. They're always really friendly and curious. Some even told me that I look really nice, and told me that they think that Caribbean people look really beautiful. Also a funny fact. When I deliver their furniture and tell them what would look nice. They specifically ask for me, to tell them were their furniture and beds etc would fit best.

  22377. I think it's rare to hear someone bad mouthing you in a different language. Once at work we had german visitors and I caught them talking bad about the company to each other. Little did they know I had 2 semesters of German enough to understand them and small conversation. When I responded the look of suprise was priceless. Thankfully things went smoothly and politely after. It can happen but most of the time it's paranoia.

  22394. This is why I'm learning Japanese right now, when I visit I'd like to stay for at least a couple months and be able to speak with anyone.

  22395. The authority scare of a teacher can be international in reality. My English teacher in the US (Chicago) was quite authoritative and mean, and she preferred European students to Asians in her attitudes. She freaked me out and got easily annoyed with questions. I didn't particularly felt "freedom and democracy" through this teacher.

  22399. I am from Arizona, born and raised. I wouldn't bat an eye about his accent and would accept it as the homogenized American accent. Prior to the penetration of mass media, TV and the like, linguists could place an American accent to about thirty miles of where it's spoken. Now after 75 years of mass media all but the most exaggerated accents have disappeared. At best now I can only pick out those exaggerated stresses and Australian, UK and Canadian are easy but anywhere around the world where mass media has a deep footprint verbal traditions are being homogenized.

  22407. Hi. Thanks for another great video!! It is an inspiration - just as you hoped it would be. have a few different comments. First, I am not a language expert on the incredible level that you’ve reached, but I did learn a challenging language as an adult (my 5th, and no my best) and can totally relate to the notion of what you get out is closely related to the level of effort you put in. After a while though, that pain associated with the initial learning curve falls away and, without the dark cloud of anxiety, truer, deeper learning actually becomes easier. Second, seeing you making your way around and making friends along the way - all with the beautiful backdrops of Japan, really brings back great memories I had of my travels there. Finally, I came to your channel looking for information and ideas on how to Either develop my skills in Japanese or begin learning Chinese. I think I’m at the right place, ha ha. But, setting aside so many other great parts of your content, what strikes me with every video Is just how well refined your sense of fashion is. You have such good taste, and I love it that you are able to elevate relatively simple pieces to a genuinely artistic level. If the Crackerjack is the candy of the videos, your implicit fashion tips on the side are kind of the secret, fun surprise inside. It’s yet another reason I look forward to your newest postings. Sorry to gosh, but you deserve more compliments on them, I think. I’m totally going to emulate some of Your choices. I’m thinking we are far enough apart that no one will notice. Ha ha. Stay safe, stay well and keep on going with your wonderful channel.

  22411. I don't watch a lot of content about Japan, but this was very interesting. You can't blame the Japanese, but it's a tough situation for such a cool guy to be in.

  22412. I just watched 3 video rn and I started to speak chinese accent even my sister noticed 😂😂😂
    1
  22413. Before watching this I had no idea people took issue with those kind of videos, I personally find them extremely fascinating to see how native speakers react and connect with you and it’s inspiring and motivating for me to want to learn a new language
    1
  22414. Yeah... it's all about the crunchy texture. Almost comparable with yellyfish.

  22417. It is so difficult seeing the animosity between China, Korea and Japan. When I lived in Korea a short time at the end of last year. Every time spoke or brought up Japan, I was often met with hostility. Similar when I mention China in my home country of Australia. When I lived in Japan for only 6 months, I never encountered hostile attitudes against Korea or China, however, when speaking to friends from there they have told me some issues that they have faced. People hate countries and people of those countries without even meeting someone from there or even visiting. It is great to see another person who enjoys the small things in life and enjoys learning and different languages and getting to know people from different backgrounds. <3

  22419. because 1: people are jealous... Way I see it is... It's a good way to learn a language going up speaking to a native speaker either it be omegle or in person.

  22420. Quiza este sea unos de los pocos comentarios en español jajajja pero...lo gracioso es que veo tus videos para aprender ingles, ademas que me inspiras a aprender japones y añadiendo que cada vez mas que veo tu contenido el deseo de aprender chino

  22425. Impressive linguistics skills there. If you like Chinese food and spices, don't forget to try 老干妈 , it is a chili paste or chili oil and goes wel with almost any food you eat, like meat, vegetable , rice or noodle. It adds more flavor to the food you are eating. John Cena likes 老干妈 too . With your language skills you will blend in and naturalize perfectly in Japan, Taiwan and China. However there is one exception, Hong Kong is a little different, they speak Cantonese, instead of Mandarin. As for me Cantonese is my mother tongue, Malay, English and Mandarin is taught in school, and I took one more language which Japanese. I am from Malaysia.

  22430. Gwai Lo = older foreigner man Gwai jai = young foreign boy Gwai mui = young foreign girl Gwai poor older foreign lady Gwai is Ghost in Cantonese. So you are basically saying Ghost man or Ghost woman.
    1
  22431. I’m not sure but maybe having a camera makes people react to you a little differently? When I was living in Japan I totally wanted to just fit in and I think everyone else working in Japan felt the same way but unless you look Japanese, or at least Asian, good luck doing that. People are always really nice though and I miss it. I think if I went back I would have a better attitude about it (I was frustrated and sad about it at the time).

  22432. I've always thought you reminded me of Beatrix from kill bill and to see you in the outfit is so cute!!! Hope you guys have fun 🙂

  22445. idk... Natural things don't bother me whether it's tornadoes, quakes, fires or hurricanes. And yes, Japan does have Tornadoes but very rarely. More so than Arizona which also get's quite a few but not many see them since they occur more out in the open where there are no people.

    1
  22455. I always find men verbally-bashing women one of the most disgusting, disrespectful things they can do. Also if try to make someone else unhappy it doesn't make your life better. It's so dumb. You're doing amazing things, constantly wanting to improve and actually diving into the culture. You're not pretending to learn a language for clickbait. So those comments don't hold up 🤦‍♀️. Your channel brings so much joy to 482k, I hope you don't let any of the dumb comments affect you ❤

  22456. 2:07- THAT LADY'S EYE!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22466. This is why I don't click on the "white guys shocks natives with language" when in reality, in my opinion, they are not taking the time to deeply learn the language and study the culture. Stay positive Anming!! 😊

  22474. Best laugh. Great channel

  22475. That first resturant, just straight creative and artistic.. Love that shit.. the minds behind things like this, it's simple but people literally sat down and brainstormed up an idea like this, not because it was needed but because they wanted to put some great art out in this world then funded and produced this restaurant. Constantly impressed by Japan and really appreciate channels like this exposing me to it since I cannot get there myself. ty Pearl!

  22476. So what I've learned is that if I want to have a Japanese experience, I should go to a Korean Chinatown 😅

  22477. I noticed that a lot of them sound like they are stuttering but its not stuttering, its them trying to put together basic sentences with limited vocabulary. I have taken French, German, Japanese and Norwegian foreign language classes but the only language I 'SPEAK' in otherwords am fluent in (speak, read and understand) is English. I agree with Matt about the Fluency illusion. I am thankful I took the classes I did, it does help to identify people who are actually able to speak those languages.

  22494. Oh this video made me so happy

  22495. I remember the last time I went to Taiwan I stayed an extra month not knowing about how there were regulations of how long you could stay until just before my flight back to the states and I almost didn't make it back luckily my Chinese wasn't the greatest and made it home even though i would have preferred to stay there. Glad your Visa issues got worked out

  22496. Try removing post-it notes from the pad sideways rather than pulling them upwards. The glue strip is less likely to curl up so they tend to stick better

  22499. "It's raining in your wedding day" kinda reminds me to Alanis Morrisette, "Isn't it ironic? It's like rain in your wedding day, it's like a free ride when you are already late, it's the good advice that you just could not take, and who could have thought, it figures!"

  22501. wholesome video

  22502. This was wonderful to see. The rapport was great. The interaction was funny too: “Do you have a boyfriend?, I have a husband. , Wahhhh, I’m the next husband. (LOL).” On a side note, when I came a couple decades ago to teach or to camps, where I was we could not have worn such a skirt; the skirt needed to be below the knees and with nylons or tights or spats or such. Besides that, men had to wear long sleeved tops and ties. Times are moving along.
    1
  22503. I loved watching this video! It's nice to have a feeling of how daily life really is at Japan. Also, on a side note, I couldn't help but notice the ever present Think Pad by Lenovo, I think that this is the most used laptop across all major comapnies in the entire world hahaha!

  22504. I would like to learn several languages, mostly because I want to develop a broader perspective of the world. At 59 years of age that would be difficult. I took 8 semesters of Spanish in junior high and high school, but retained little of it. These critics are being unjust.

  22505. Can you go to the US Embassy for help?

  22506. Where did you get those brown leather shoes?? Looking for a woman's pair just like that

  22507. Why don’t you try learning Spanish? If you do it, you’ll be able to travel all around the world without any problems! You’re so good at studying languages so I think you can do it easily 😊

  22508. I'm late to the party..lol. congratulations!! Wishing you both a very blessed long, joyful life together!!

  22509. I can speak only one other language besides English and I’ve always wanted to speak Japanese but I would need to live in Japan to fully learn the language

  22532. My daughter has just finished her degree in Chinese. She a Scottish mixed-race Mauritian girl so I've seen Chinese people look really shocked when she speaks to Chinese people in Mandarin!
    1
  22533. I am as Gringo looking as possible. But I lived in Central America where I learned Spanish. Later obtained a university degree in the Spanish language. I married a woman from Central America who didn’t speak English when we married, so our first few years together Spanish was the language spoken in our home. Seinfeld moment: we were in a grocery store and a woman my wife vaguely knew came up to speak to her, in Spanish. She totally ignored me. She immediately began saying all sorts of nasty racist things about me to my wife. My wife was shocked into silence. Rather than being offended, it took everything I had not to laugh at her. When she finally saw my silly grin, she stopped. When I finally spoke Spanish to her, she was horrified, yet she apologized. It is a rare thing to hear people speaking Spanish about me behind my back, they have their own lives to live. And I’ve spent the past forty years using my Spanish to help people communicate.

  22539. You have a great chemistry. You both are so fun and sharp. Thanks for sharing. :)

  22540. I’m confused to the people tracked you. They might not be curious about you can speak the language fluently because you got the same situation before. Not sure whether it is dangerous to ask them the purpose of tracking.
    1
  22541. How do you not confuse the languages each time you speak do you just know which one is which ? Because I feel sometimes they sound the same so wouldn’t be hard ?
    1
  22542. I love your content. So interesting. You are amazing!

  22546. I just need to walk to the freezer to get egg tarts (pastéis de nata) and put then to bake in the oven without the need of speak japanese neither chinese... but I am portuguese :) (it is funny to know that an american needs to talk chinese in Japan to eat portuguese tarts)

    1
  22551. Again a nice video. You are so extroverted with the camera. Is it the same without it?
    1
  22552. You still have an accent when you speak in Japanese but you are quick to response and that's quite impressive. It's easy to understand that you've been in Japan for some time at least. I'm 20 and I'm not so fluent in japanese since I lived there for only 1 year but now I'm trying to learn chinese (at school) and korean (by myself) so seeing you switching from those languages is really an inspiration to me. I hope I will be able to speak as fluently as you are in Japanese and Chinese to be able to switch from these languages. It's a must if I want to work in a hotel abroad. Ah really I'm shy to say that but I'm jealous of you ! You are what I want to be ! :') Because when I speak in Japanese, I have even difficulties to return to my mother language which is French. So switching to chinese or korean... it will take me time.
    1
  22553. To me, this doesn't make sense. I just like watching your videos all the way from Michigan but i like to see more of Tommy and you and your stories keep up the great work

  22560. The one place that I always go to when I'm stressed would be the library. I like to be surrounded by so many wonderful books 📚

  22561. It's nice too see stuff in the suburbs and countryside. The city centre is busy but it isn't where (most) people live and relax
    1
  22562. I could not stop laughing. They were so pushy for pictures 😅 but why they took so many angles lmao yea im a beginner japanese learner and whenever i say the little bit i know its insane how many people react similar to this (minus the pic taking) i find it fun tho because it makes me practice
    1
  22563. Good advice, as usual, Anming. Even for those of us Japanese learners who are a bit older than your target demographic, there is no substitute for actually trying to talk with native or fluent Japanese speakers.
    1
  22564. The way im crushing on you
    1
  22565. Thank You OP,. You have to stumble before you can Walk same in learning a new language! Always enjoy your Laugh😁 great Video.

  22572. When i was a kid i went to a ramen bar. We didnt understand japanese but we made orders by pointing at the pictures. One of the workers got curious, i guess it was a quiet day. And tried to talk. He was really nice and in broken english from him and broken japanese from us he found out where we were from. Then they gave me a crazy cool bendy ruler. I guess i was lucky the shop was quiet but it shows japanese people are willing to talk. Some old lady on a bus also gave me a pack of tissues because i had some sniffles. She started talking in japanese. i still dont know what she said but she was nice, gave me a hug and called me "kawaii". As i said i was a child. I wish i spoke japanese so i knew what that old lady said, it was probably a cure for the sniffles!
    1
  22573. OMG, your videos have gotten so great. Don't over think trying to come up w/ content; All your daily interactions in two different languages are interesting enough. It's unfortunate though that right now, you have to risk your health to get that content. Stay safe!
    1
  22574. Best way to learn any language is to be immersed in the country and more specifically the people went to high school took 5 years of Japanese as a class subject learnt hiragana,katakana, kanji and all the regular stuff numbers etc.. decade and half later barely remember any of it..
    1
  22575. Those four guys at the end were so hyped! Wanted to see more of their reactions haha

  22577. My only 'bad experience' in Japan. Was being picked up from the hostel I was staying at by my Japanese friend to go to back to Ireland. Some Uyoku dantai tell me "American go home" (while outside the hostel putting my bags in friend's car), my friend gives me the WTF look & I just started cracking up.

  22578. No longer very shocked as it has become kinda common for foreigners to learn Chinese

  22584. Delightfully enjoyable as usual. I get hungry every time you buy food, and thirsty every time you buy drink... I subscribed a moment after finding your first video, it was like finding a rare and magical creature for the first time... I don't always comment but I never miss a new video, which is always appreciated (for the effort and content). Thank you...

  22591. Omg I need to go to that restaurant when I visit. In our, Mexican, culture we eat tacos of cows tongue. It's one of my favorite dishes. Maybe try having it serve a different way?? But I understand some people just don't like the texture. Can't wait for any of the worlds you share! It's really interesting and fun to watch. Maybe make a video when you return to Michigan to show others what it's like in your area 🤷‍♂️

  22592. I really like what are you doing keep going you doing well 👌

  22593. Never try that in USA/UK just because you could speak perfect English and then ask for a free meal, the shop owner could call police immediately -:))

  22594. I've always found the argument that something is bad because of the way it makes some people think as a really weak argument. All forms of expression can be misinterpreted

  22595. I think I'm mastering Asian languages just from watching this video. Someone compliments you. Say you don't deserve the compliment. Everybody laughs. Japan here I come.

  22596. Japan seems to have way more fun with Christmas than we do here in the States. Then again Japanese people take many Holiday's and amp them up to a Boss Level Event. Happy Holidays!

  22617. Good video makes me wanna learn more languages.
    1
  22618. I would also add that if you set out on your language learning journey with unrealistic expectations, you might actually not appreciate the good work you have done. When I was in high school, I went to Greece on a foreign exchange program. I tried to learn as much as possible before I went, and out of 65 kids in our group, I and one other person were the only ones that were able to have a meaningful conversation at the end of the two-month program. Looking back, being able to have a conversation and deal with real life after two months is actually quite good, but I remember being disappointed because I had been so focused on really coming home “totally fluent.” My mom’s Greek friend said “my God, I heard you and had to pick my jaw up off the floor,” but I was too focused on what I hadn’t done that I didn’t appreciate what I had done. But nobody placed that expectation on me; it was entirely my own doing and hopes-to-be. I did get fluent later on and would eventually look back at that time with extreme appreciation for the opportunity it gave me. So, realistic expectation are important, not only so that you won’t get a mistaken impression about what’s possible, but also to recognize the value of the good work you put in.
    1
  22619. I’m so jealous of your proclivity for languages. You must have some level of eidetic or photographic memory. An amazing ability! I enjoyed your video :)
    1
  22620. Next time you see Araki please tell him: ''Elä ole mulkero/mulkku.'' He is such a typical introverted Finn when someone asks to learn Finnish from them. :P Oh, the meaning of the phrase: Elä Ole Mulkero Don't Be A Shithead/Asshole Mulkku/Mulkero is a slang word and is not commonly used. He should know it though. You could use ''Kusipää'' (literally pisshead, but means shithead as well) as well. He will probably have a chuckle. :D
    1
  22621. I never knew you are catholic! When i heard that I literally gave my screen a thumbs up haha. I would be interested to hear about your experiences as a Catholic in Japan. Is it ever brought up? Do people care? Edit: Congratulations on your upcoming marriage btw! how rude of me not to include that in my original comment
    1
  22622. I do feel super-duper envious, honestly. And it's not bad in any way, your experiences, as others ones, keep me up, gonna work hard to study in Japan, to have opportunities. Thank you.💪

May your lifetime's mutual journey be full of love, happiness & joy! 🥳🎊👍 (Nice to see that your channel has grown a lot ever since - I still remember a few thousands (or was it just a few hundreds? 🤔) of subscribers in the very beginnings. All the best, take care & just keep up posting videos & stories, like you've been doing it till nowadays! 😉👍

    1
  22646. I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships!

  22647. Ninja Monkey is awesome!

  22648. Yeah i think its mostly the personality difference between the chinese and japanese is so huge
    1
  22649.  @OrientalPearl  I'm sorry they did that Anming, it must have felt like you weren't wanted in a place that you'd made such an emotional investment and uprooted your life for. I hope at least that the university allowed you to graduate - even if you couldn't attend the graduation ceremony.
    1
  22650. Funnily enough I'm of Chinese heritage so I look the part but I suck at the language (trying to change that tho lol). I bet if I went to a Chinese speaking country, people wouldn't bat an eye if I spoke the language well. We just have to play the cards we're dealt, I guess.

  22659. 10:45 Yeah, you maybe learn bahasa indonesia instead, if it just for the numbers.. or maybe tagalog if you want to visit the Philippines instead.. but are quite easy from the pronounciation.. the languages you learned already are really more complicated :) filipinos also love social media, I guess after that you would be at 1 million subscribers :D come visit

  22669. Thanks for the video. Awesome cultural exchange. Suggestion: Accept free food, and decline free ride. Why ? It's because drivers don't normally make a lot of money.

  22679. Wow that subreddit is cringe. It's weird because they cosplay and engage in Japanese stuff but have this incredibly misogynistic anti social illogical hate mongering for everything. It's like a group of guys that want to feel important after being rejected all their lives and need to punish anyone else and the Net provides anonymity. I was linked through the youtube algo. tonight (Xiaoma) and from your great content I know your channel will be huge soon but so its nice to see you are privvy to all the scams. I just got my Japanese citizenship last year so I'm a dual USA/JP now. Your personality is so vibrant and you are a creative communicator. People really crave content like this. Happy to support you and thanks for sharing your life!

How I wish I came accross this platform before starting to work in Japan. And its really helpful!! P.s. thanks for the other tip to go to izakaya to practice my japanese. 😂😂😂

  22684. Wait are you from Michigan? I grew up in Battle Creek Michigan 😂 I lived there for 25 years or so.. 😂 that’s cool! I moved back to Japan 🇯🇵 six years ago 😂 That’s why I don’t have accent speaking English 😆 Japanese people think I was born in America 😂 but I was born in Tokyo 😂 My family is still in Michigan so I came to Japan 🇯🇵 alone 😊

  22685. I'm going to Vietnam this week... any tips... is there a crash course in three days to learn Vietnamese... lol just joking... I will be relying on Google Translate! They say the voice is a South Vietnamese accent and will help along during my stay... cheers... love your excursions!

  22686. Hey cool videos, very impressed with your tones. Have you tried talking to Chinese people in the USA and what's their reaction? I'm a N.American born Chinese so if I go back to China no one cares how "good" my Mandarin is. Alot of ABC's deal with it. But I speak Russian too and I know the feeling when people are shocked that you know their language so well.
    1
  22687. woow.. your chinese very very good!
    1
  22688. I have always wanted to learn Japanese. Working in NYC China town and picked up a few things but never pulled the trigger to go all out and learn. You have reopened those desires once again Thank you. Let the haters hate!.

  22689. I often glitch out when I see Chinese people speaking American. XD. I feel like it would be pointless for ME to ever learn another language, cause I never talk to people I don't know in public anyways LMAO.

  22692. Hi 🙋🏾‍♀️. Military Brat here. Wow, Akaki, he’s been in Japan for 12 years?! His Japanese is so awesome. When I was in Japan I hung out with Kevin Cooney (Tokyo Cooney). He was there 13 years. Kevin went back to NY state, but I wonder if they have ever crossed paths while he lived in Japan. Have you ever seen Laoshu on YouTube? He speaks 50 languages😲—amazing. Thank you for sharing you videos. I really enjoy them.

  22693. I forget about how much I love your videos until you post a new one. Thank you for today’s, it got me watching your older vids again. x

  22694. I can't believe these comments! Incredible. And they make me very sad. If beauty is an issue at all then no doubt both of you are very handsome women. However, that aside I always considered intelligence to be a major factor of attractiveness and mastering Chinese and Japanese to be able to speak it fluently makes you Ms World and Ms Universe in my opinion. Same goes for skills such as playing the guitar on that level. I congratulate you for your courage to put such comments and behaviour on the spot.

  22695. Wow you so fast to learn that I mean really fast between me take so long to learn one

  22698. Man i'm so happy for you guys! Congrats again to you both, And thank you for bringing us along for the ride all the way through.

I wish you both nothing but the best my friend! おめでとうございます! 🎉🎉🎉

  22699. How did u learn to speak Japanese? Did u just live there and learn the language?

  22700. You two seem really happy together.

  22703. It’s more like a Nanny for bunch of kids especially they are not in the classroom. Chinese teachers are more strict on discipline and they have an almighty sentence for those naughty kids:”叫你的家长来一趟‘’ lol
    1
  22704. Second comment post-video! I think maybe 2 white people speaking Japanese in Tokyo is less surprising than 1 white person speaking a completely different language in Japan 😄. Also Chinese languages seem super challenging to learn so I’d be just as surprised and impressed as well. I used to live in Shiga in a “inaka” town (it was really more like a suburb of Kyoto 😅😅😅) and the one place in town everyone went to hang out was Viva City: a huge mall, with shopping, movies, a gym, bowling, karaoke, supermarket, etc. I would tell my family “No seriously! It’s like being at the mall at home!” It was comforting and familiar.

  22710. Yes the pretenders are gonna hate because they're being exposed. And there are many pretenders on YouTube. There's a huge difference between actually speaking a language and memorizing a bunch of phrases. That Wouter guy is one of them.
    1
  22711. Oh gosh these comments. I'm glad some of you did not experience this, but dismissing the experience or refusing to believe the millions of people who state they have experienced this is appalling. If it wasnt a thing, it would not be something so many people would have heard about before.

  22719. It's funny!😊 An American lady is talking with an Chinese guy in Japanese! This is the first time I've come across such people, albeit through YouTube! I'm surprised that your Chinese pronunciation is flowless and comfortable to hear, though you have studied Chinese for only 8 years. I'm sure that you are not only a gifted person but also a hard worker:)

  22736. I really enjoyed this latest video. I have been watching your videos, as they are produced. My 1st video that I watched was when you traveled outside of China and came around a bunch of Chinese tourists from Shanghai. I have been hooked since, along with the other V-Blogger , Chris, who now is back in D.C from Beijing. Keep up the awesome work and thank you , again.

  22762. The salary was the same in the 1990’s and the yen was stronger so it paid well. There is no career progression for teaching English in Japan. So it’s not something to do more than 1 or 2 years. It is an enjoyable job for a short while joking around with students.
    1
  22763. If you were to listen to the Italian Rafaelo Urbano aka "the metatron" speaking Japanese, how fluent is it? He makes mostly videos about military history in English, but occasionally also makes learn Japanese for Italian speakers. I like how you make constructive critisism of China and Japanese societies in which you are currently living, unlike the south African Serpenza, and his american friend Laowhy86 who ride their mopeds across china and talking smack about the political system, and society, and making all kinds of disparaging remarks about the chinese people in general

  22764. You seem like a nice girl. I'm glad that was a positive experience for you.

  22770. Yeah you’re surely going to have people following you. A blonde Caucasian girl speaking multiple languages in a foreign country is going to attract curious people. Many times it’s nothing they have seen or heard before. Don’t whether to tell you to try and interact with them (which might make a good video), or to just be super vigilant and careful.

  22771. Wow your English is flawless and you only started learning at 12? Damn

  22802. 2 hours one way is too much. My last manager was doing that for a long time and in the end he got another job that paid a lot less but was only 15 minutes away from where he lived. He said he's now so much happier. Sacrificing your life for work is way too normal in Japan.

  22822. I just discovered your channel by chance and this is the first video I watched. I really don't understand where the hate is coming from to be honest. Not marketable? Almost half a million subscribers would likely disagree. This video has over 150000 views and is not even 24 hours old as of this comment! Criticising your looks is just uncalled for and really says a lot more about them than it does about you. For someone who thinks they speak "PR", they probably should take a few more lessons in not being an a**hole before someone gives them an attitude adjustment. Keep on doing what you do. You are clearly doing something right.

  22830. You probably get this question a lot, but do you have any suggestions or advice on options when moving to Japan? My wife and I would love to someday down the line. My wife actually does Youtube and online business, so we are a little confused on how working works as an American Citizen (The legal side especially). Any advice or resources is welcome! Thanks for your great content!

  22831. Interesting that you mentioned that people from China give you the “thumbs up” gesture. If you watch any of the old Chinese Kung Fu films on YouTube you’ll notice that this gesture is used a lot by the characters in the films. Is this coincidence or a gesture that is very popular in the Chinese culture? I don’t know.

  22853. I just realized I might’ve come off as talking crap about Detroit / Michigan, but that was just one of my memories of Detroit as a younger kid. My apologies as I don’t mean to disparage Michigan or Detroit. I rooted for the Tigers my whole life!

  22854. Alexander Arguelles said once (I´m going to paraphrase here) that the definition is wrong, a polyglot is not someone who "knows" lots of languages, a polyglot is a language learner, that´s it. And I think this is a good approach, since it is so hard to say what it means to know a language.

  22855. great video, great interaction with the kids

  22856. About the "why tape it" well ! It's motivating people out there !! Really , I found your channel when I was living the worst of my life was a nightmare for me having a lot anxiety breakdown and a lot of bad things anyways during this time I was giving up of everything and learning Chinese , but when I found her and her videos showing how amazing she's skil languages and how she made the natives smile seeing her talking in their mothers language was sooooo inspiring to me that I get motivated and back to work and studying! Thanks for everything you amazing and we love you keep doing your work !! Btw sorry if I said something that sounds wrong or weird 😅 English is it not my major language :)

  22857. @ Oriental Pearl This question might sound cheesy, but where do you see yourself in 5 years? We all know years go by and suddenly we have to deal with uncommon situations as we currently do. Did you ever think of setting up your own business, e.g. a language school etc..? If so, would you mind to do a video about expectations, possibilities and probably the harsh reality? Thx

  22860. Ive never seen a more dedicated foreigner with japanese. I mean even being fluent she still is learning new lessons on her free time
    1
  22861. In secondary school I had a Greek/Latin teacher who really was either fluent or very proficient in 10 languages. But he would never bring it up, only when asked. We initially only knew because of stories from seniors. He would gladly talk about any of the languages he studied when asked, we even got some basic lessons of Russian and Chinese.
    1
  22862. You’re so polite! If you were my niece, I would be so proud of you! 😬

  22863. Miss you also learning other language. It’s cool !

  22869. I don’t think it’s so much people being angry at polyglots as it is people’s assumption at what comes off as clickbait for YouTube views. I’m trying to learn Japanese myself as an older guy (super fun and challenging btw) and so I get a lot of these “white person shocks native speaker” vids in my feed; I don’t personally watch them - but I don’t watch minecraft vids either… doesn’t mean those are cringe 😂it’s YouTube, and there’s something for everyone, maybe people should just keep scrolling if they don’t like it 🤔

  22877. Ok, I stopped one minute into your video! There is plenty special about you! The ability to speak a foreign language exists in many but not all. Yes, you are correct there is nothing wrong with trying. But Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Esperanto and Russian are all languages that are intrinsically alien to westerners. It is rare to find a westerner such as yourself who speaks Chinese and Japanese so well. But then you are young and intelligent and have studied for 8 years. To be honest, I was incredulous to hear that you actually hated being complimented for your skills!! But I am glad you have changed your attitude in this. I lived in Germany for 3 years and spoke German pretty well. Working in the aviation security industry for many years, I learned a smattering of many western languages. During my karate days I learned a little Japanese. But for many it is very difficult. Almost as difficult as leaving their home town and venturing out into the world! It requires an aptitude that some people do not have and may never achieve. So for what it’s worth, you are special and I admire your skill with these languages - as indeed the locals seem to do. Rather than offering an off-hand western response, perhaps a little bow and an honourable “thank you” gesture would go a long way to showing your appreciation for their kind comment. In japan you gain great face in this way. I enjoy your videos and I have subscribed. I am now 64 and trying hard to learn Russian, having a girlfriend in eastern Ukraine. It is the hardest thing I have ever done! But I try. You do not mention your name but you should be proud of yourself. You are part of a small, special group of westerners. Best regards from the UK.

  22898. Wow! I would have never known you were getting such hateful comments, but even more surprising to have youtubers making videos just to put you down. That is so wrong and infuriating they have nothing better to do! >:/ Honsetly, I find your videos inspirational! I haven't been a subscriber for that long, maybe a few months but I've enjoyed your channel. It's cool feeling like I'm visiting China and Japan right along with you. I wish I could speak their language with how fluent you are that's seriously impressive and amazing. Anyway, don't let those videos bother you! 💛

  22901. Another really interesting video, thanks. Surprised even city people are still fascinated by western eye and hair colours. I remember I was on a trip to a really remote place on narrow mountainous roads with a chinese driver. We just about managed communication, I asked him to stop at a breathtaking view so I could get out and take some pictures. nearby was a tumbledown shack, out of which came an old lady who began pointing to me and shouting, the driver went over to talk to her. I was worried I had trespassed on her land, or walked on the grave of her ancestors or something, and got back in the car. When the driver returned I asked him. Not at all he said. She wanted to know why his passenger had yellow hair.

  22916. @5:45 you find frozen twine-tied leaf nuggets. Are those savory zongzi? The Japanese version tends to be cylindrical, called chimaki. They also look very similar to the very different flavored sweet okashi sakura-mochi.

  22926. By any chance. Are you thinking of studying another language?
    1
  22927. It is the BBC's motto in the UK let " Nation speak unto nation" which I think was a biblical quote and seems to reflect your philosophy; I quite agree with your ideas about learning other languages to make communicative bridges with people from other countries!

  22938. Even your friend Jillian Atkins is not immune to this kind of attention, her and xiaomanyc pull a similar stunt in a Chinese restaurant in New York. I agree with you, polyglots and people fluent in foreign languages are modest, and they climb to success because of their hard work, not because of the attention on silly videos like those, A good example is Julie Dreyfus, in her humble beginnings she had a tv show in NHK channel teaching French to Japanese audience, then she featured in a Japanese commercials, like the one with William Shakespeare selling natural gas. Eventually the notoriety landed her a role in Kill Bill, as Sophie the henchwoman. In short, being boastful will get you nowhere.

  22941. With me I did up to level 2 Japanese , but its motivating myself to keep at it, and language or not, its a struggle with most things that have to persistent with me, like keeping up with routine all the time, having slight learning difficulty and procrastination, doesnt help

  22951. I saw some videos of people pretending to speak large amounts of languages... Most of them don't. But I don't really know how to judge language skills. I think there are 4 components: Understanding, speaking, writing and there's the accent (you can know how to speak and have a very bad accent). Do you have to be equally good in all of those to pretend knowing a language? And to what degree? My first language was Italian, but I moved in France at 6, so I was able to speak it but not to write it... Then I learned English and Spanish and I took Italian as a third language to have easy scores... I don't go on French comments or forum, even the press. Most of the French people don't know any vocabulary to the point that they mix "have" and "be" that can be pronounced the same way. I think anyone who studied French for 2 years would speak it more correctly than most French Millennials.

  22952.  @OrientalPearl  ahh.. okay nearly 5 inches qualifies you to poke fun at someone shorter ;P hah. The difference didn't look so big when standing apart on screen. I'm qualified to say that though because I'm 192 cm :D

  22970. You looked really good in these videos 😊. Anyway, I taught English for a little while in Japan and I had to teach a couple of 13 year old girls. You could tell one girl was the smart one and the other girl was the fun one I guess. Anyway, the fun girl was talking to her friend in Japanese during our class and she said to her friend in a perfectly normal voice that she thought I was kind of good looking. I immediately felt really awkward. Normally I would probably have let on that I can speak some Japanese but I definitely didn’t after that. Nope. English speaking Paul from America who doesn’t know any Japanese.

  22971. First of all Anming. It was really windy in Tokyo. Good thing you had a ponytail otherwise you would have the same hairstyle as someone getting an electrical shock. Anyway. Cool vid :-)

  22973. Hi, you`re totally right about Japanese being a very useful language, for me is for professional purposes. I speak already Spanish, French, English and now learning Japanese (and if I can Korean will be next). So, I think that can improve your resume and open some doors. Hey!!! I really enjoy your videos, your Japanese is awesome.

  22974. i speak spanish fluently and one time i was at a nail salon and the workers there thought i only knew english so between them they talked shit abt me and my friend and at the end of it i said i understood everything they said in spanish and they were shocked and i just left.

  22992. 😂I wish one of my parents would've another native language, but no both of them are German. Anyways I think it's really important to learn different languages, so I'm really happy to have the chance to learn english and french in school and also a little bit japanese, because of YT.
    1
  22993. Normally these 'foreigner' vids mostly go off of a purely western perspective; I absolutely ADORE the fact that you brought in the perspectives of your Chinese friends, as well! I don't think a lot of us Westener's understand the friction between a lot of eastern countries. Glad to see that it's getting better, but even more happy to see that we are being exposed to the differences one might face even just speaking chinese, compared to english, in japan.

  23011. I skipped the language school focus and studied Japanese at Waseda as an exchange student and had a good time overall personally. Some teachers and classes weren't my favorite, but I was able to get to know my teachers better I felt, and got involved with clubs on campus and was able to speak with the native Japanese students. Might just be a difference between a university and a language school though

  23014. Thank you for your teachings 🙏🏽 🤔🤔🤔 Here in the UK and alot of other countries they want a 'CASHLESS SOCIETY' claiming you can get covid (another excuse) AND the fact that you'll still got PAPER FILES ETC.. Don't knock a fax machine 👍🏽👍🏽

  23017. I had just recently seen Yuta's video of having Japanese people attempting to read Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters and trying to guess the meaning. I love these kind of quirky bits! I totally thing it'd be easier for an American to get the tones of Chinese than a Japanese person just because of the rigidity of Japanese word pronunciation, but maybe I'm wrong.

  23027. Wonderful vid. I did not, however, know that driving in Japan is on the left side, as it is in England. Wow, that's a first. I don't remember seeing that in your other vids. Glad, too, to hear your family is okay. I'm a city transit bus driver, so my chances of coming in contact with...stuff is, well, pretty high. But I'm at peace about it all.
    1
  23028.  @OrientalPearl  Ah, well, I'm an American, so you will NEVER catch me driving on the left side. One time and one time only I did the driving-on-the-left side in the UK once, and that wore me out! Never again!

  23037. Another great vid Anming. Soo interesting. Still firmly believe it would make a good film/ TV documentary, or at least a travel blog for Japanese Tourist/ Culture Board!! Thought you could have explored the food a lot more. Prob justifies a 1 hour special on food alone (yes please ! ) Thought the voice over towards the end was really good. How about a trip to the smaller towns? Or did you do that already? ( not seen all your vids ) Keep them coming !

  23065. Im from Philippines and I really really love Japan. It began, when I started watching anime to researching about the country itself. I just can't explain it to words, you know HAHSHHAH its like, when you have so much to say then you just can't explain and express it into words. HAHSHHA. Yeah HAHSHHAHA. So why Am I telling this? I just wanna let you know that your videos are really inspiring me to keep forward. To keep moving. To keep chasing my dreams despite the changes that are constantly happening around us, around the world to be precise. (Omg, Im getting emotional HAHSHAHAH) Btw, the "dream" that I was talking about is that I wanna go to Japan someday. I wanna teach there, not just in Japan but also in other countries. I really wanna be a teacher and a psychologist. (Im 17, a grade 11 student) Oh, Im also self studying Nihongo for about a week now. I decided to study it now for real. Huhu, I love you, I love your videos (even tho I only found out your youtube channel today), I just.. keep safe po! And continue inspiring others! Love from Philippines!❤

  23083. In watching your videos I'm happy to see them because it shows how people react in other countries that. I'm interested in traveling to and how the people react to you taking the time to like you say learning the language and how easy you all make it to talk to strangers it's not about how many you all speak so thanks

  23095. About the people living in Netherlands for five years and not knowing how to speak Dutch. I'm planning on doing my Masters abroad and Netherlands was on my list, I looked at the requirements it turned out they put international students in English courses, I looked at University of Leiden and University of Amsterdam both said almost the same thing. They didn't even say a word about Dutch being a requirement. It was a real turn down for me I believe if one was to study abroad they must immerse themselves into the culture of that country. It's not just about learning the language it's about connecting with locals in a deeper way so you can understand the ways of the country better

  23096. I just learned about bamboo forest as well. 😁

  23100. Another fun video, thank you. Your Japanese is really good. I sometimes detect a Chinese accent, style or rhythm to your Japanese which is interesting and probably creates a disconnect coming from a blonde white lady.
    1
  23101. Your mom looks so young, she looks more like she is one of your sisters.... But, as she is just a visitor and has no intention to live in Japan, I would forgive her the little cultural mistakes. Yet, I am pretty sure, she is very, very proud of you the way you live and the way you adjusted.

  23105. Japanese kids are the cutest, theyre also probably the freest people in the country. No need to worry about filtering their words or formalities or appearances at every second Also holy crap a japanese person with dyed hair, and a highschooler no less? I thought that was against like the entire countrys school rules

  23113. Perhaps you could let your room mate know that it’s not only the West, even we Asian know that wearing the right attire is part of social etiquette , many years ago, we came to know that the mainland Chinese wear pajamas out into the street doing chores like buying groceries, they don’t see a problem with it, really hope they don’t do it anymore.

  23114. Japan is such a amazing place to go. Too bad I don’t speak the language

  23125. Those gamer boys sure got into their music too. Joyful & energetic music, for sure. Reminds me of Dr. K’s impromptu boogie-woogie piano videos from the UK. I’m sure Royce and Anzy may know of him.

  23132. I speak Thai and live in Thailand. It was one of the smartest things i ever did. I can not imagine learning Chinese or Japanese. The video length was fine . Loved the Japanese man with the bike. Made me laugh.

  23133. Lmao this happened when I was like 4 yrs old; my dad was working abroad in Japan and we visited him there, and there was this one time when we were at a park and like i were doing my normally random stuff then suddenly 2 japanese kids like went to me and smiled. They were saying sumthin in japanese which i dont understand then they suddenly grabbed my hand 😀🔫 when i wasn't saying sumthing back, they suddenly started crying then their mom asked what tf happened then my parents also came over saying that we cant speak japanese or understand japanese then their mom just did the bow and kept apologizing. It turns out that those 2 kids eanted to play with me, and cuz i looked like a japanese for some reasons lol (and for those who wants to ask what country I'm from, I'm from the Philippines) :^

  23145. This breaks my heart!!!! Thank you for sharing their story. I can’t believe they don’t exist to the government. What can we do to help? 😮

  23146. 99% among YouTube polyglots who say they can speak Italian can't actually speak it. It always sounds so bad! The pronunciation is bad, the lexicon is poor, etc. But maybe that's also because people usually think that it's easy 😂

  23147. I want my daughter to learn Japanese

  23154. I appreciate that you work so hard to make these videos. I am subscribed and I really get a kick out of watching the reactions by the locals when you speak to them in their own language. I am slowly learning German. It's fun.😍

  23155. What a wonderful experience. I have heard of the ryokan traditional Japanese inn, but I didn’t know much about it or why it is so popular. Thank you for sharing. It appears to be designed for couples. Is it culturally acceptable for single person to stay at a ryokan?

  23156. You 2 are super cute ❤ Tommy's parents a cute and funny too 😂

  23157. I really liked this video. 1st. Katie is a really likable individual with a great personality. 2nd. The Japanese fit in so well and was really conversational and not transactional in nature. I liked that it was "OK you speak Japanese", lets go have fun now. Language was not an issue, but communicating was. I enjoyed this video so much. For me it could have gone on much longer. I think it was because you appeared to having fun, Katie and the rickshaw guide seemed like they were enjoying the experience as well. I liked at the longer format, it made the vibe flow naturally, and although you could have broken it into two parts, I feel it worked better the way you edited this particular video. I really hope that it gets lots of views and increases your subscribers.

  23161. I think that it is jealousy tbh... Anyone who criticizes others who improve themselves wishes that they could do the same. I wish I could speak 4 or more languages with ease... Anyone who can absorb any language that is foreign to their own , even if it is just some general conversation, is inspiring...

  23174. This is the second video that I’ve watched about the homeless population in Japan. This one is so different than the other in a way that I can’t quite describe. The guy in the video has extremely nice camping gear and feels like more of a backpacker\nomad, than homeless. But who am I to judge? I live in Portland. A city known for its large homeless populations. I think the big difference is that no drug abuse or addictions were part of the story. Do people in Japan with drug addictions go to jail? And the ones without, are invisible? Lots of us see YouTube videos with folks renovating free homes in Japans countryside. A life that not everyone wants to live. Or we see cherry blossoms and hot springs. I always like seeing different views and people.

  23175. Awe i hope you go back and order something not on the menu or learn to cook with her video 😊

  23177. YouTube channel is ubiquitously nowadays, not surprised if the man has watched your channel, could tell you were a little shocked! Glad you had gotten back your purse. About two years ago, I was in Okinawa for a week holiday with my partner, the day of departure at the airport, I realized I had left my iPhone in the toilet at one of the mall about 7 stations from the airport, I was very certain the phone will be gone, but my partner insisted of going back to the mall to check it out, and as the Japanese way, someone had pick up the phone and handed to the lost and found department, was so thankful to be able to get my phone back as it contains lots of pictures I loved, and to add more drama, we nearly missed out flight. Anyway, thank the person who had picked up my phone, ありがとうございました😊

  23178. 0:45 onward "subscribe" - so you are learning the pro youtuber ways now 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, "Your humor is excellent" 🤣 Seriously, really enjoy the non-packaged product experience you bring us 👍 Helps ease the pain of quarantine cancelled classes and having a Parrot w better accent in foreign languages than I (he tries to teach me!!!l). Thanks Anming, EnJoy, 💚🐦💚

  23180. a wonderful and soulful school, only unlike language schools in large cities it does not issue student visas. More suitable for students who already live in Japan and have a goal of not taking the JLPT exam, and learn more about Japan.

  23197. i like your personality as a whole when you speak Japanese, it's like your power reading of cuteness and adorability went over 9000! Chinese is still impressive but your approach is like direct, straightforward, on-point, and just small talk. Japanese is quite the opposite. Then again, you're speaking with someone with common experience and interest as you haha sugoiiiiiiiiii!

  23213. Good advice. I have a question about Pimsleur. Before the Internet I started with Level 1 (on CDs) but was very disappointed for the price. I found it very useful for honing pronunciation. However, I was very frustrated to learn a pick up line in the third lesson before the basics of polite greetings and exchanges of names--or what you might say after that. I did not wish to learn Japanese in order to invite nameless people to my hotel for drinks. I don't imagine most other people would either. There was also a lot of stuff about driving to places and filling up with gas that is highly unnecessary. Frankly, it felt like it was aimed at occupying forces. Though it's boring as hell, I found listen and repeat phrases on YouTube the most helpful. I put them on in the shower or when I was doing housework. Has Pimsleur's content been updated to more relevant content?

  23214. Its origin is still unclear: Yankee1683, a name applied disparagingly by Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke, literally "Little John," diminutive of common personal name Jan; or it may be from Jan Kes familiar form of "John Cornelius," or perhaps an alteration of Jan Kees, dialectal variant of Jan Kaas, literally "John Cheese," the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen he first known attestation of the word Yankee is found in a letter from 1758 by General James Wolfe —he used it as a term of contempt for the American colonial troops in his command. The song Yankee Doodle, which in early versions was sung by British troops to mock colonial Americans

All it does though is make them look like little jealous misogynists, how embarrassing for them. I like your videos and i'm glad you're not letting them get to you.

  23230. Tokyo folks seem to have more fun on Halloween then here in the states. Sadly last few years here in arkansas... people don't seem to want to decorate houses nor kids go door to door like it was when I was a kid now it's trunk or treat. Which I guess that is safer for the really young ones. 3-5 year olds...But I Remer bring like 7 or 8 making a few blocks, filling my sack full to the brim, going home dumping on our fire place and going back again for round 2. On foot. Be sweating so much after all said and done. My brother would make several blocks on skates and his jansport backpack. We had so much candy that it literally would last until next Halloween. Slept real good afterwords.

  23248. Hi again, I was wondering about you being stuck in Japan while you're trying to get back to China to finish up your school. I'm also stuck too, where I'm a M'sian (Malaysian) citizen, but worked in S'pore (Singapore). Then this Covid-19 pandemic came & companies started to let their staff go (which was what happened to me). So since I don't have a job, that means I don't have the legal work pass to work and stay in S'pore, and have to "go back" to M'sia. So now, I'm stuck in M'sia and looking forward to hear any news when borders in both countries will open soon, so that I can return to S'pore. The irony is that, I grew up in S'pore since I was 1.5 years old, in a bi-national family (dad & mom are ethnic Chinese, but dad had a M'sian passport while mom has a S'porean one). So after my parents moved to S'pore, all my 3 younger siblings were born in S'pore & they are S'porean citizens. I didn't apply for the S'pore PR (Permanent Residency; like the Green Card in the US) because I was moving around and living in various countries (US: 8 yrs, Thailand: 5 yrs, & Japan: 3 yrs) & when my Japanese wife & I decided to move for the last time to S'pore from Osaka (after our son was born), our long-term plan was to get our S'porean PRs so that we can plant our roots in S'pore. So I'm stuck in my birth country, M'sia, but my wife (still working in S'pore with a work pass) & son are in S'pore. I had missed celebrating my birthday, Father's Day & next weekend, my son's 4-year old birthday with him. :( Looking forward to when Covid-19 ONE DAY... can be a thing of the past we talk about... so that I can be reunited with my family again.

I don't even know. Lost all motivation when I went to China and nobody sounded anything like how I was learning it.

  23309. As a Chinese person who had lived in UK and Latin America and had Japanese friends and have been to USA donzens of times and..., it's 100% ok when you say "Thank you" to a Chinese person who compliments you. Saying "No, no, no, I'm not good" as the answer is ok but not mandatory. At leaset I don't say this...I would just use "Thank you" as the answer. Maybe saying "会一点点" （understand a little） is an option for you. I am not of any service in corrcting a person's incorrect accents when I first meet her/him, but I'll difinitely be for the second time. However I think Japanese would do a different way. No matter what you say to them, they never say no to you.

  23318. It looks like ppl aren't really that surprised at least for speaking the language itself? Most of the 'shocks', or really interests, actually came from experiences, like coming from a certain university, as well as the story with your bf, etc.
    1
  23319. You should head out to NY or CA (San Fran) one of these days - go out speaking Chinese with people with JJSays (I think people are even more impressed here to see Americans speaking Chinese), make a video about Chinatown and how it compares, bring Tommy and teach him some American ways, whatever. I think an adventure in America would be fun to see.

  23325. I think it was less shocking because you’re in Shanghai which is a huge international city. I think it was more interesting when you revealed more personal details like being a student at Fudan and knowing yet another language: Japanese. Both yours and the store clerk’s Japanese was good! The two of you got along well! :)

  23326. You are a celebrity

  23327. I lived in Japan for 3 years (san nen :)). One thing I realized is women would teach me Japanese with feminine pronunciation, like "ne" at the end whereas men say "na" or "za". Maybe you can explain this difference in a future video (sorry if you have and I missed it). BTW, I love that you respect the culture and break negative American stereotypes by being humble & classy. Japanese culture is all about class and respect, it's even built into their language - differences in speech between talking to the elderly versus your same age friends for example. I accidentally used "moshiwake arimasen" instead of "gomen nasai" and the person I was talking to was mortified. Live and learn.

  23334. On the topic of dual Japanese and American citizenship, I have the same thing but my mother told me not to worry about it and that the government wouldn't go hunting you down to choose. There's wayyy more half-Japanese people in the same boat as us, so there's no way the Japanese government can track down and crack down on every single person with a dual citizenship. Unless you perhaps become famous or work for the government or programs like JET, is when you would have to decide since it'll be harder to hide. I think as long as you keep quiet about it around government officials and stuff, you probably won't have to worry about them sending you a notice about your time to choose a citizenship. I do live in the US so maybe its easier for me.

  23343. Oh how fun you went to Nara I loved it there my only pet peeve of the experience was I didn’t know I was allergic to deer in between a heat rash but other than that highly recommend
    1
  23344. I've noticed in your videos that when people compliment your Japanese instead of saying Thank you, you say something like "not really". Is there a cultural norm to down play the compliment so as not to appear arrogant or ?????

  23345. Am I the only one who likes the video before watching it

  23354.  @OrientalPearl  Okay, I was exaggerating a bit, sorry. Your Mandarin Chinese is beautiful.

  23355. The hate sounds like a bunch of people that are really insecure about themselves. Pretty pathetic. The channel is great! Keep it going!

  23359. I went for a haircut in Kin Town that pretty much ONLY cuts US military people's hair. I ordered my haircut in my garbage Japanese, basically what I've been using. I spent the whole time trying to convince them I didn't speak Japanese. Their first thought was I was married, which is common for American military in Okinawa who speak Japanese.

  23363. I am Indonesian and I once found a video saying there is a foreigner speaking Perfect Indonesian and impressing native speaker. I viewed it and I found that the guy indeed knew some Indonesian words, and he could actually speak in Indonesian, but it was indeed not the Perfect Indonesian as what the title said. It was conversational but didn't sound natural. Not to judge, more like I was disappointed with the video, as a native speaker of Indonesian listening to such "Perfect Indonesian".
    1
  23364. Yayyyy happy for you guys been watching your videos for a year.
    1
  23365. like you, i drove over 5 hours to see the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria Germany! after my long car ride I found out it was closed for the day! noooooo. Well, I parked on the hill and enjoyed the most pictures' countryside in the world! https://gf.me/u/yxdy2c

  23366. My one goal in life is to learn Japanese, I've tried and tried, but my brain doesn't work properly and I just can't learn a new language. It hurts so bad. I want to go to Japan so bad but I cant. I just wish I could remember. I respect the Japanese culture. But my limitations hold me back from experiencing happiness for once in my life.

  23367. I love these kinds of videos.

  23372. That timelapse of the Sakura was fantastic! It's so neat to see how certain trees turn green before the others. Rody isn't as experienced as poppin' tags like you are, LOL. Thrifting is the best, eco-friendly too. You're so blessed you to have such great roommates to throw you a surprise party! Happy Birthday to you!!! (Even if it wasn't a Pikachu cake ;))

  23376. Are there other languages you are interested in learning? I know a little Japanese and Slovenian, but currently focused on Spanish.

  23377. Those American kids learning Chinese are truly an eye opener, who say Americans are not nurturing their kids?

  23378. LEARN KOREAN AND YOUR COMPLETE!
    1
  23379. I guess many are just impressed and want to compliment you on your linguistic capabilities and meant no ill will. Chinese is not an easy language to grasp being quite different from the phonetic systems of most languages.
    1
  23380. Yo, life out here is hard. Sometimes even a stranger needs a hug.
    1
  23381. Music excellent example, specifically musical instruments. The majority of people are impressed by the basics of music, which is the equivalent of knowing your ABCs of music and impressing people because they have no understanding of the fundamentals. On all social media basic uncomplicated structure in music gets more views, much as your language views with less complicated vocabulary.

  23382. Yes ..I'm subscribed!😊 Bubble tea are tasty, very popular in my korean town on New York. Hola...Perla Oriental😊

  23391. In France a 60m2 apartment is common for parents with a kid or two. My first flat was 60m2 with 3 babies 😂😂 now my house is 70m2 with 3 teenagers 😂 I know it’s small for an American person, but I have less cleaning to do 😂😂😂 (I live by the sea, so we can go on the beach. So having a small house is ok ;) )

  23403. It must be hard not able to be accepted but she's handling it so well and most of all, she's pretty and has a lot of japanese features. If I lived in her area, I would date her ! :face-green-smiling::face-blue-smiling:

  23407. Nice one as usual! About people from the north vs. south, i just read an article that it's partly down to the way they used to do agriculture... google "What a gloriously offbeat social experiment in China can tell us about the human psyche", quite interesting.

  23408. You are courageous! Well done for speaking out and giving a voice to those we do not hear! ❤

    1
  23413. Love the video! Something I'm noticing, though perhaps not particularly surprising, is that I can parse your Chinese quite a bit more easily than your friends'. Maybe it's an accent thing. Your words sound more distinct/separated. Oh well.. more practice...
    1
  23414. man, I wish malaysia could be like Japan, very clean and a fe

  23415. Most people type these days, it's easy to forget kanji even for Japanese and Chinese natives.

  23417. A long time ago, while at officers basic before going to Seoul, I signed up for Korean language school. I thought to myself, “I speak Spanish fluently and have a high school grasp of German, so how hard can it be to learn Korean?” HAH! TOTALLY different… however, I still know how to order a beer and tell a cab driver to take me to Camp Hialeah quickly…

  23418. For caffeine while in Japan, I love to drink Georgia Coffee. Can’t find it on the east coast in the states, but I was lucky to find some in San Francisco. I wish Coke can somehow sell it online.
    1
  23419. I Envy you girl... haha... How you are fluent in 3 Languanges... LOL. How can I be like you. Can I ask you, where did you learn your Japanese? Do you take formal Classes or just studying at Home by yourself... Damn that made it easier for you to also practice it then, since you've been to China and Japan. I've tried learning Nihonngo for quite some time now and even not that great in making Sentences, hahaha...

  23441. I think your English is also very good!😉 . Just kidding! . You know, it is about standing out because you have a skill not many people have or expect. That can be quite frustrating. . I am glad that you told about your frustration in the past, and how you deal with it. It gave me an idea for myself. Instead trying to be normal, I am going to try to be just myself and to see how that goes. . Thank you for your nice video!

  23449. In Korea I get the same reaction often but usually in bigger cities, in smaller places they don't even react! One common thing is that they will tell my korean friends that my korean is good rather than me 😂

  23452. Bruh, I have a job offer to work for my airline in Narita,Tokyo and the only thing holding me back is the language barrier. I make close to $6K USD a month so finance isn’t really an issue. I highly doubt real life conversations sound like anime or that anyone will have magical floating subtitles when they speak so It feels daunting moving overseas by myself, I just might do it tho lol, see if I can learn a bit over an app or something.

Shelbes in Hawaii are empty... 😱😱😱

  23460. Anming, this was a really enjoyable watch. Curious who is Ari to you? Funny how Tommy feels that everything is so big. I guess you don’t notice it unless you’re normal is much smaller. Hope you reunite very soon and that we get a Tommy perspective on his trip there!

  23471. I like music in this video
    1
  23472. i love your videos! i am NOT currently learning Chinese or Japanese but French and German. I hope to move to those areas. i am studying social policy and classical music as an undergraduate. French are very tough when it comes to their language and will not be forgiving, i've experienced it! they'll just talk to you in english once they realize you're inadequate. in germany, especially northern germany young people WANT to speak to you in english to practice and I also believe they think it's fun. your videos give me courage to speak even if I come across as a fool!
    1
  23473. I wish I can speak Chinese like you
    1
  23474. Do you ever find yourself exhausted after speaking so many languages in a day or within a few hours? I'm a Canadian who lived in Norway, but I worked in the cruise service industry so I'd have to switch between Norwegian, German, French and English some days (sometimes within a few minutes), and it was tiresome! At the office, I also had to speak with colleagues in Danish and Swedish- at least they're mutually intelligible! How do you keep sane?
    1
  23475. My mother tongue is English. I also speak two other Germanic languages fluently. However, I can't imagine being able to speak Chinese. I think I'll study a bit of Spanish.. Seems much easier..

  23486. You are a delightful person, I enjoy your videos very much. My question is, have you ever been prejudiced against before they realized that you speak Chinese and Japanese?
    1
  23487. Sheer hard work. Amazing motivation. 3 Asian language goodness me. Question is can you maintain Chinese and Korean being in Japan with a Japanese husband.

  23489. People are so mad at you for living your life? Like are they gonna think about this on their death bed no most likely not so what’s the point in obsessing over what somebody else is doing, you aren’t hurting anybody it’s crZy how much strangers care about someone else’s life

  23490. Congratulations! I hope the best for you two.

  23491. I love this video!!!! It's so great to see you in your work environment. I look forward to more about work and your everyday life. This was very informative about the differences in speaking business Japanese and everyday Japanese.

  23492. Hi Animing. How do Chinese people immigrate to Japan? I've noticed many of the Chinese that work in Chinatown have been there for many years, so I was curious what it takes for Chinese people to go to Japan to live and work. Japan doesn't seem like a country with an open border, although, I did hear about their dwindling population due to low birth rate that could contribute to a labor shortage in the future.
    1
  23493. You ever tried tripe soup? That's cow stomach soup for those who don't know.
    1
  23494. Very interesting. I'm a mother to 2 half Japanese boys and my Japanese is far from good. I can communicate but not the way you do. I'm just way to tired and busy 😅 when I was young and lived abroad for the first time, in learned English in the blink of an eye... As for Japanese... 3½years and I still suck. Good for you. I try to follow you. Even though I'm probably to tired to keep up with following someone in YouTube nowadays 😅😅😅

  23498. Dope
    1
  23499. Hm, just food for thought, but I don't think that a true polyglot is a real thing. What I mean is there are different strokes for different folks, some people like to learn as many languages as possible to just a low level so they can small talk in dozens of languages, and then there's people who want to take 1 or 2 to the highest degree possible. Neither is more of a true polyglot than the other, as it's all one big community. Even monolinguals should feel welcome in the community as aspiring polyglots, right?

  23502. Haha!! That’s so true about learning new languages from foreigns is always bad words! Lol
    1
  23503. You're absolutely right about speaking to locals in their language to get close to their feelings and customs. When I went to Morocco me too I spoke to them in their language they were so enormously friendly and open. I had two friends who knew some Arabic but they refused to talk much to them, like "sha was looking so strange at us". Yes off course, but you have to speak to them and look at how friendly she was to me. Peopke all over the world love to talk to people who love to talk to them. Unless you just met the angry one among them. That's possible of course

  23504. That scared the crap out of me 🤣🤣🤣

  23520. Do you have any tips for learning languages ?💛

  23521. Is JLPT N3 good before I start learning another language? What level would you recommend?

  23522. This was fantastic! Keep up the amazing work! Thank you!

  23523. You have such an ease of dialogue...!!))
    1
  23524. Language is fundamentally spoken. You need to listen to a large amount of input at a level where you can more or less understand it. Facial expressions and gestures are important. When you are speaking, you are not practicing, because you aren't receiving new information about the language when you are talking. If your foundation isn't good enough, you are going to start contriving things using your first language knowledge which leads to unclear speech, bad grammatical habits, etc. Just as a baby doesn't start speaking right out of the gate, neither should you. In a new language, you are a baby.

  23536. Dear Anming, How are you today? You are so industrious. Tku vm for answering. I love the way you acknowledge comments. Your positiveness is contagious. I am impressed with your camera- and sound-handling. Both are so clear as well the text! (Except that I cannot follow it sometimes :( You are so fast or I am so slow :)). Then I watch the videos a couple of times, so I get (I hope) all of it. If you don't mind me asking: What camera do you use and how do you hold it? With an extension? I would love to duplicate your art of producing a video. Can I help you with smthg? ML, Yves

  23546. Your language skills are amazing! I’d love to move to Japan but not sure if I can get a visa. I’m working on it. From the UK and lived in the USA for 30 years but I’m sick of the direction the country has gone.

  23567. @oriental pearl: Yankee is not from the civil war. It is a combination of two Dutch first names: Jan and Kees. Jan-kees = Yankees. It was therefore used to depict settlers from Holland, typically in the Northeast of the US.

  23568. Asian people are the nicest people to engage with. I lived in Britain so when I emigrated to NZ it was the first direct contact I had with Japanese Korean, Chinese etc. They are so polite friendly kind interesting . I wish I had a talent for languages. I don’t. I only have a little Mandarin. Great to see you showing what the different Asian cultures are like.

Brilliant channel by the way. I love the ethos of bringing cultures together & showing our commonalities. :-)

  23604. Awesome, I’m glad the parents are supportive. Japan looks amazing. The food, wow, even the fish on a stick looks great. I’m Asian so I do get the whole eating food with eyes still on them :)
    1
  23605. I think people susceptible to these cults and gurus are generally people who hate working hard. I'd know, I'm one of them, however I don't follow gurus. I accept that I don't wanna study hard, and it still doesn't prevent you from getting to a conversational level in any language. Just talking to people and making friends with them works. Language is merely a tool to convey feelings and information. Nothing more, nothing less. No big deal, really.
    1
  23606. Oh, gosh. Where is Anming taking me today? Hahaha. It's like having a buddy take me around town.

  23615. I personally think all the mixed heritage ppl ive seen on YouTube are unique, amazing ppl and everyone is jealous of your ability too co exist in both of your parents countries of origin.

  23616. It did not happen too often in Europe or Japan. It is mostly people making an observation and not a rude one. People just being people and making comments aloud to others as they are curious. I too found it makes them happy when you engage them in their language, as they are to shy to try the English they know. We are all curious. Still, I found adults more mindful and subdued when commenting aloud. With age comes wisdom.

  23617. Wow, Japan and the Japanese people are so cool.

I like to watch your videos, I'm From Chile, a south american country, I really like your content, you show us a reality that so many people want to live, and I feel that is really important your content because you share us a lot of cultural diversity. So thanks for making this videos. Greetings!
    1
  23625. Lots of great wisdom in this video, keep up the great work Anming! While I don't study Chinese, your videos are very inspiring and motivational when I am struggling to learn Korean. I think for some of us it is important to be realistic with our goals. If you're working a full-time job(s) or you have children it's ok to only be able to put in an hour or so a day (and some days even less depending on what is going on with your life) - the important thing is repeated, consistent, daily use of our target language. We can watch Anming and think "To be this good is my goal", but don't be discouraged that it takes longer to be as proficient! With hard work we will all end up at the same destination, just at different times.

  23639. I know a couple people who are self-taught in mandarin and even though they can successfully communicate with native speakers, they are not very fluid. I really think you hit the nail when you said you need formal education to properly learn Chinese. I am trying to learn Japanese by myself, and even though I have made decent progress, I really think I need to go to Japan and get used to speaking it AND hearing it naturally so I can become fluent. Great video as always, you give me the motivation I need to keep learning!

Before the end of 2020 you'll break the count of 100K subscribers . you did +12K in less than 30 days :). The best days your channel get more subscribers depend on last week data on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday . Great raw content and nice to watch . Keep going . Enjoy it.

  23646. Japanese clerks will chase you down like that even when you forget 10 yen in change. :) Japanese honesty is sometimes OVERextreme. I went shopping at Uniqlo (a common cheap but good clothing chain) and bought about $100 of shirts and stuff. I got home, and I realized I didn't have the clothes! Did I leave it on the subway? On the street? At the store? My (Japanese) wife called Uniqlo and asked if I had left it there, they said no, but took my name and phone and address while they double checked. I'm pretty sure I just stupidly left my bag on the subway seat. An hour later there was a knock on the door: the Uniqlo cashier who helped me earlier personally came and delivered the clothes! Totally unexpected! But the kicker was that he didn't find my shopping bag, he just took the computer receipt record, found the same clothes I bought and reassembled the same set and brought it over. With a big apology.

  23647. And you write Chinese also.😮. ❤

  23648. Hi, i'm a first time subscriber to your channel. Was wondering are you still learning in these language schools? How much do they cost you? By learning these 2 languages, what is your plan in life? Becoming a multi language tutor in china or japan? By the way, love your japanese outfit! You look great 👍!

  23649. I am from Harbin too, actually I graduated from HIT, see the connections from this video? this triggered me to leave some words here, may be a bit of home sick. I am now living in PA for many years. I am not going to say your Chinese is perfect but it is super good :), I don't know Japanese, your Japanese sounds pretty good too, obviously you are very talent in learning languages, good luck.

  23653. Not gonna lie, university in the U.S is insanely easy compared to my 6 month language program in Korea. It broke me. I had class everyday, homework daily, and tests every Monday. The tests (발표 balpyo) covered reading-writing-speaking-listening, and we were graded based on our memorization skills. Meaning presenting a written speech with perfect grammar, and memorizing the entire page or losing a point for every improvised word or mistake while reciting it without looking. I thought I was going to die from the stress of it all, school here is seriously no joke. Anyway I’m level 3 in Korean, 6 is business level. It gets easy once you can confidently pronounce everything well, people will understand you even if you make many grammatical mistakes. I really dislike schools here, so I recommend doing private tutoring this way if you can afford it.

  23654. This is how they react to me even though I lived here since 2013

  23665. Maybe you can find somebody in the US to send you a prop bag of American fortune cookies with the fortune written in English and Chinese. You can go out with a couple stashed in your pocket. Next time, "oh here let me show what I am talking about." It would be priceless reaction to see a native Chinese person opening/reading an American-Chinese fortune cookie for the first time.

  23692. You can kind of get away with it in your 20’s. But you are 🚶 to burn calories! You have a lot of refined carbs! It’s not only about eating more 🌱. Increase the protein+fat 🥩🍗🍖🍳 so you don’t crave the sugar and carbs from 🍪🍩🧁🍨🥤🧃

  23695. To all that watch but are not subscribers yet , please do it! I have subscribed to Anming's channel for over a year now, and her adventures are amazing and always entertaining. What are you waiting for? PS .. I am not a paid spokesperson
    1
  23696. I would definitely watch another "not shocked" style of video. I understand that content is edited and curated, but it's definitely nice to see the "boring" content sometimes as well.
    1
  23697. I find your content interesting and informative
    1
  23698. such an amazing video!! Thank you so much for this. I wanna travel to Japan and I prefer to go to a much smaller city rather than Tokyo! So this video just made my decision much more clearer to me!! :)

  23699. Awesome Is that spinning top? Is small but cool and looks fun.

  23702. Did you always start w pimsleur and complete them? Or when did you branch out?
    1
  23703. Happy New Year to you all! It looks as though you had a lovely time at Tommy's parents house and they seem really lovely people. Might they want to learn "Auld Lang Syne" for next New Year's Eve, do you think? I noticed it quietly playing in the background near the end of your video. :)

  23704. Great content😮❤

  23705. Being genuine is what sets u apart from others. Wondering if your personality changes when you switch languages due to the culture associated with it.

  23706. I love pearl because she tells the truth she doesn’t bullshit and she doesn’t let the offended people in her comment section make up lies about her or other countries I’m so sick of the “Japanese people don’t like this 🤓” “we do this because🤓” crap because most of the time it isn’t true and they are just projecting their anger so thank you Pearl for stating the truth!🙌🙌

  23713. The interviewer was right, you are going to get to and then get past 10,000 views. Pretty soon you won't be able to reply to every single comment on your vids! I think you present yourself in a very genuine way that I really appreciate, and I also have the impression that you have poured yourself into achieving as much mastery of your languages as possible. Keep making videos as you have time, you're going to gain a following, I guarantee it.

  23714. The title makes it sound like a Hentai Haven video.

  23760. Many congratulations for reaching 1mil subscribers 🎉 and I hope drew gets lots of donations ❤ my apartment in Glasgow city Scotland costs £675 (around 850USD) and is just under 1000 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I believe Glasgow is one of the most inexpensive cities in Europe (even though we’re not technically in the EU anymore), plus we’re fun and friendly too! I’d also like to add my apartment dates from the 1880s, there are modern flats here, and a couple of high rises, but they’re mostly for students or government assisted housing. 😊

  23761. I enjoy polyglot videos. I find them encouraging and fascinating. Thank you Oriental Pearl for sharing your content.

  23765. Agree 100% Pimsleur is the best place to start. I literally was able to learn survival German during the time it took to wait for my flight and cross the Atlantic. I still use it to brush up on my Turkish every time I visit Turkey.

  23766. i’m so happy to see this channel grow at the speed it is! well deserved!!

  23773. >>> SUBSCRIBE PEOPLE <<< I was one of you. But one day I decided to binge watch AnMing videos and realized what made her so special and different than other YouTubers. I even discovered the first "clip" of Tommy before he was her boyfriend, and he was a student learning Chinese. Watching Anming get depressed about her content, and how YouTube punishes those with views and no subscribers broke my heart. I hope she continues to push forward because we love her spirit and things she is showing us, so Subscribe and Put the bell on!

  23774. Thank you for showing the other. Side. Of. Japan. 🤔. 🗣. 📢. Wow

  23778. This was such a pleasant video, love your attitude.

  23779. Thank you for the nostalgic guitar sound, I unexpectedly welled up tears with Tommy's departure. In return of my appreciation for the sound I would help you advertise Sakurako, copying just right part of captions. 8:13. oh my God that's going to be so fun that's so much better than like the American version Sakuraco and Tokyo treats are the perfect gift for my family when I come and visit each box contains exclusive and seasonal Japanese snacks like Cola they have a KitKat every time there's potato chips different types of instant ramen and there's even a booklet so you can check and make sure.

  23787. I hate to be that guy, but you are so pretty! Oh, I'm from Michigan also. Born in Flint, but now live a little north of there.😁
    1
  23788. Wow, it’s so weird to see places I’ve been before- I’m from Michigan and I didn’t know you were until today-
    1
  23789. I don't normally comment on your channel, but after hearing snippets of the hate you get, I'm slightly confused as to what they're hating on you for. One of them mocks a title of your video "I'm going to go to a Chinese restaurant today and surprise people", and this is where I'm confused. Ever since I've been subscribed to you you've continued to talk about how getting reactions out of people shouldn't be a reason to learn a language. Despite the title of your video they're referring to, you always repeat how you shouldn't focus on reactions. You encourage the audience to find the confidence to engage with the locals of the language you're learning. You talk about food, culture, and language as many other vlogs do. You take us on little virtual trips and teach us small bits of information about a place a majority of your audience don't see every day. There's more I want to say but those folk who run a podcast (or whatever) bashing someone's appearance and language skills aren't worth thinking about. I swear whoever these people are are just making up excuses to talk about you for content.

  23790. Te falta hablar español de america para estar completa

  23791. Great show! Be yourself ✌️
    1
  23792. It's so interesting to see the cultural differences between the west and Japan. Like if y'all started walking down the street in my Canadian city in full Santa gear, the reactions would be very different!
    1
  23793. おめでとうございます🎊🎉👍
    1
  23794. haha, if you speak my language fluently, a lot of people will follow you, because: 1. You're beautiful, foreign, and different from most of us 2. You speak the language well enough to make us appreciate the effort and hard work you put into it (I won't be able to just let a foreigner speaking my native language slip, I'd want to be friends) 3. I honestly want to be around amazing people, and from your videos and comments and what I know about you so far, you have a really amazing personality! Funny, humourous, light-hearted, brave, smart, kind, ... (I can go on) Of course, stalking people and following them around is just plain wrong and creepy, and is no good thing. Anyways, good luck, your videos are really amazing

  23802. I'd imagine trying to get a date in Japan as a foreigner would be just as hard as trying to communicate with a person of there language.

  23807. Im highkey obsessed with the square backpacks! haha the lavender and pink one for me please

  23808. The fluency illusion is real. The other thing is asymetric proficiency. I can understand waaaaay more French for example than I can speak and that's because of exposure over many years. I wouldn't claim I can speak French at a high level at all but you could drop me in France and I'd be able to do things like get a job, rent an apartment. So I'd say production at A2/B1 would be fine. Spanish is definitely my strongest language after English and I could go to university in it. Other languages like German and Italian, because I live in Europe, and have had exposure, I can navigate in a limited way, I would say confidently at A2 in terms of production. And then B1/B2 in comprehension. The only situations in which I would claim I could speak them is in a tourist situation where I would be with other monoglots. So basically never.

  23809. They are just trying to be nice to you, no matter how good or bad when u talk to them in their mother language. When are you come in back to the state girl, get out of there and come back here to la.

  23811. Katie looks so beautiful

  23812. You're a brave person, you might not see it that way but not that many people would take on challenges like you do, with a cheerful, positive attitude and a lot of perseverance. Good for you! Glad your stay in Japan got extended!
    1
  23813. I love that it is raining. In my belief rain is good luck. Rain is water which is essentially used to nourish us, plants, the other animals etc. May you both grow and have a blessed life. Congratulations to you and Tommy. 💕

  23822. I enjoy these videos SO much because you share daily life and also, how to interact with people by using the language . Sometimes, in classrooms they don’t teach this side of reality...加油！ 😃☀️🤗🙌🏻🌹

  23828. She’d mix English and Japanese within the same sentence lol. That’s the same thing I myself, as well as just about all my family does with English and Spanish lol

  23830. Thanks for the video. I always enjoyed watching your adventures.

  23834. Hey, when you come back to Michigan could you teach me and give me some insights on how to be a good vlogger? I want to start vlogging here in Southeast Michigan mainly as a foodie trying out restaurants and giving them reviews. I still have to buy cameras and equipment but i could also use tips and tricks from a professional like you. If you ever come back to MI let me know.

  23837. Yes renting in Tokyo can be a bit frustrating. That's why I decided to build instead of (one in Tokyo and the other up in a rural mountain area). That being said, the cost of living here in Tokyo is stll waayyyy cheaper than my own hometown, Zurich.

  23843. Hey, I really enjoyed your video and the live stream presentation as a live stream was a great idea. What was the name of the soba noodle restaurant. It looks like a good place since it is unique and you said it was really tasty. That cave looked like a bit of a game of twister.
    1
  23844. Woow, there is no need to say that you are super amazing! They all already said, you are a grand inspiration for me to learn Chinese and more English!!! I think you miss your life as a student in China 💔 so I wish you can comeback soon and live as normally we used to do in here honey, you looked a bit sad in your room and I could feel that, I wish I am wrong about that. You take care too, stay healthy. Hugs from Putian!!!

  23847. That was fun to watch. I like your personality and enjoy language or vlog videos. It looked like you had a good time. I appreciate that you shared a part of that with us.
    1
  23848. This was fun! Do you find that people UNDERSTAND english, but refuse to try speaking it with you due to them THINKING they'll SOUND bad to someone that speaks english? Video idea.... see how many different languages you can intersperse into one conversation (without telling them about it), and just go with the flow
    1
  23849. - keep it up

  23850. Their apartment is so pretty but tiny

  23851. That’s so awesome you appeared on a tv show ! So cool do you ever run into finding certain words that you don’t know how to say or write certain kanji that it’s just too difficult
    1
  23852. On TV you get that serious look. :-) Arizona is just too hot for me after living near the SoCal coast for most of my long life. Although I must say a new level of respect is found for you after viewing this video. I'm a reader and haven't owned a TV for > 30 years. We must stay active, that does include the brain. Peace to you Anming.

  23860. Great inspiration video. I think for me learning Japanese while living there would be a great advantage due to the fact that Japanese is in your face everyday, but I'll keep learning at home as best as I can. I miss Japan so much. Hope to visit soon again. Cheers.

  23866. Omg that’s gorgeous thank you for another video ❤❤
    1
  23867. Those people are usually pretty obvious, even when you don't speak the language. There is one very popular "polyglot" who was showing off his Russian language skills. I do know a little Russian, and he was completely unintelligible. And it wasn't just me and my low skill with the language, but the people he was talking to were struggling to understand him as well. He was basically just saying basic greetings over and over, and his pronunciation was horrific.
    1
  23868. There is always something to learn everyday. glad we have things like this you learn so much from videos thank you for bringing us so much joy and entertainment We have had a lot of rain here with a 89% humidity & 24°c
    1
  23869. Maybe your past life was Chinese and Japanese. Lol! Very good

  23889. That TV show part was so rude and really pissed me off! A lot of Chinese treat foreigners like “it's impossible you people can speak our language very well”, which is so ignorant, arrogant and uneducated! Thank you for the tips on learning a second language at the end. I feel so inspired and gonna pick up my Wonder by R.J. Palacio and read it during this endless qurantine time! Btw, I definitely wanna be your friend because you girl is so real❤️

  23895. I don't know how many languages you need to speak to be considered a polyglot but I can speak 5 languages fluently. Tagalog and Ilocano since I'm a Filipino, I lived in China for 8 years so I'm confident in my mandarin, I also know Cantonese and of course English I'm currently learning German but I'm lazy😂😂

  23904. This might not be important for you and but as a big wwii buff myself, I have to ask is the war ever brought up? Is there grudges held by older Japanese people? Ik the younger Japanese people aren’t too familiar with it. And maybe a good video idea would be going monuments or museums! Just a thought, I’m curious, love the vids, thanks!😁

  23910. I do speak a couple of languages and still learning them. Self study of foreign languages is very tough if you do not have the environment. I have seen a couple of polygot youtubers, they look awesome with multiple languages and are cool on the screens. When u go further deep down, many polygot youtubers tend to repeat the same beginner levels languages except maybe one or 2 of their own native languages. There are a couple really strong ones too out there. Wish I have the environment to master Japanese like you. At the end of the day, money talks for you tubers across. Again, thanks for sharing your videos. I do agree.

  23912. Why did he leave? Bc he has work? How long are you staying, how long are you going to be separated? 😔 I went to Japan for 10 days without my husband (for the first in 8 years we got separated) and I wanted to die, even though Japan was my top place to see in this life, side by side with USA.

  23919. You are amazing. I am from Chile so my native language is spanish. Long time ago (over 28 years ago) I lived in Japan for two years and I became very proficient in Japanese. At that time there were not many foreigners in Japan so everybody was surprised when I addressed them in japanese. However you have mastered also Chinese in a way that surprises your counterparts. And moreover you switch between the three languages so effortless that sometimes is difficult to follow. Congratulations. Enjoy your time in Japan. It was great for me.

  23920. It’s good that time he was able to see. Hope to meet you guys one day maybe on your next trip back I lived in Detroit raised in Detroit but I live in Trenton Michigan for 23 years now but I still work in Detroit and do things down there on and off. Reynaldo

  23921. I'm more happy since I stopped watching those language learning videos. I'm kind of a slow learner with a lack of confidence so those "from beginner to fluent in language x in 7 hours" videos just make me feel dumb. Learning and remaining a language is hard. People tend to forget that. And only because I learned 100 basic every day vocabulary I do not speak the language at all. I love learning but I love to doing it in my own tempo. Sorry if I butchered the English grammar. I had it in school but I'm learning it by myself now

  23925. Japan is a pretty good place to lose something lol. Dropped a wallet and phone once or twice and got them back pretty easily. My wife took her coat off on a bench once and forgot she was wearing it, came back after getting home and remembering she actually had a coat. We went back and found it on the same bench, only difference is that somebody folded it neatly and left it on the seat to find lol. I've been to a lot of shows in Japan where people are dancing or moshing and somebody drops a wallet. A common thing to do is to look for I.D in the wallet and hold it up calling their name or you can just hold up the wallet so the person sees it and comes to get it. Dropped my wallet there and people bought it back to me because they knew who I was from being one of the few white guys who follows this band lol. It doesn't mean you should be careless though lol. Stealing is less uncommon in certain situations like going out drinking and falling asleep on the street or in a station. People do get their money stolen sometimes. Never assume you are completely safe anywhere.

  23926. Love this! Recently found his videos on a variety of topics. Excellent review! I actually had your channel come up in my feed after watching a few of a particular polyglot’s videos for fun. Interesting conversation. No opinion on who. Do like another channel that talks about other aspects of Chinese political culture that impacts the rest of the world. Thanks for what you do. Balanced, skilled and knowledgeable. Refreshing!

  23931. Enjoyed this first installment, and am looking forward to all your videos in this series. It's very understandable how you became enamored with Japan and China. My in-laws had family homes in Osaka and Tokyo, and I got to see Kyoto too in cherry-blossom time (though all the blossoms had fallen like snow by the time I got to Tokyo). I did get to see Tokyo Tower from the top, which I thought was pretty cool, as Godzilla destroyed it in every movie where Tokyo was trashed by Godzilla. My Japanese wife was doing a Japanese teaching course at Sydney Uni when we first met but she refused to teach me and our kids Japanese, over many years of me teaching her advanced English (I attempted a rudimentary conversational course, alone, but never managed to learn much.;-(

I love natto and have to seek it out in imported Japanese food section of Asian supermarkets here in Edmonton, Canada

  23937. Congratulations (おめでとうございます, sorry if that was incorrect, it’s been years since I studied nihongo!) ! You were a beautiful bride and Tommy was so handsome! I wanted to say that rain on your wedding day is actually a sign of good luck! Also, will you fly the dress to the States and have a reception with the other side of your family and friends? Maybe even on your 1 year anniversary? My sister had a very intimate wedding, but my parents had a reception a bit later at their home for family and friends… her dress was displayed on the hook along with photos of the ceremony… we also took the cake topper and reused it again!

  23938.  @OrientalPearl  I was ignorant and did not know it is a famous building and I'm not judging China itself. I know the word doesn't have the same meaning in other parts of the world but since you're American and probably have a lot of American viewers, I think it's in bad taste. I guess it makes it okay since you have the entire building's name
    1
  23939. Hey Anming! I had to comment on the guy in the middle of the video, who wanted to show you his own videos! You wisely declined! I mean, that is like the classic line "Come on up to my room and I will show you my etchings"! Yeah right! This guy was clearly to me at least, only trying to get you as he saw what he thought was an attractive blond female, and he was clearly enamored! Another example of what I had told you previously, in that, Asian men are totally enamored with blond women! You handled it like a pro though!

  23947. You’re having fun, enjoying yourself, learning, and also expanding other people’s knowledge of other people. That’s what breaks down walls and prejudices! I appreciate that you go out of your way to learn and make friends.

  23953. Although I will "never say never" I feel that my "healthy skepticism" helps in the "cyber world". Our life is simple, and though I have a tech support background we don't do social networking. But even regular email and such is always open to attack at all times. I've even blown off people from church by deleting emails I don't recognize. Our phones as well as our PCs are avenues of scam and deceit and we need to be reminded. Thank you for doing so and the accurate description of what you experienced. "A word to the wise is sufficient".

  23995. Me clicked in expecting to hear English: oh wow there is a fixed subtitles! Ya! Me when the subtitles stopped updating: what’s going on Me heard Japanese: Okay Me founding there are two English speakers speaking Japanese: okay, you will shift back to English right after right? The two seemed determined : fine, but you only gave me English subtitles! Where is the Japanese subtitles? Omg here is an English Channel there won’t be Japanese subtitles 🤪 Should I stop looking into subtitles and only listen to Japanese? Or it’s time for translating two languages into Chinese in my head at the same time? Haven’t done this for years. 中文字幕或是對應了你們說的語言的字幕在哪裡 。・°°・(＞_＜)・°°・。 The moment I decided to focus on listening: you came back to English Me: okay. 👌 And yeah I just watched a video talking about how weird English are, what unique craziness is in English Me: okay you might haven’t known Chinese, half of those things you called craziness is very common in Chinese. Maybe that’s why I don’t think English is crazy now. And they started to talk about how they have learned Cantonese. Me: so... wait? You must have known those things is in some languages other than English right? And the sound you said very rare like only in 7% of the whole languages... existing in Mandarin actually. At least Mandarin in TW, maybe there is a slight difference I don’t know...??? And then they said something in Cantonese. Me: hum, sounds like what I would do (I am not native) so well, I am not sure, maybe it’s true. And then they ranked Mandarin as “for native English speakers, easier to learn than Cantonese”. Me: Yes of course but, Cantonese is a natural language and Modern Mandarin Chinese is an artificial language made by the government sometime during 1911-1945 for people all over China (which means native in numerous different languages) to learn. It’s based on Beijing language but it’s a simplified Beijing language. It’s not fair to compare Mandarin with any other natural Chinese languages. And then I found out they teach tons of European languages. Me: okay fine. You might be really good at European languages and I am gonna stop here. Besides, you both really sounds like Japanese, in my opinion. I am definitely not some what expert of Japanese (tbh as a Traditional Chinese user, reading formal Japanese which is all Kanji is the easiest thing, and then... I think I only speak informal Japanese and the basic type of formal Japanese XD) but I have been used it in my personal life for more than a decade. Although the main reason I used it until recent 2 years when I was talking to foreigners was because... my English was much worse than my Japanese, so even if I encountered a Japanese who is capable of speaking English, I would be like: 英語ができません…日本語でいいですか or their English was really too broken for me to understand. It seems every time I started to learn a language, the reason was always the locals don’t speak English so I have no choice but to learn it immediately. Thankfully Japanese are so kind to tourists who speak Japanese and it was easy to walk around! Until I met a Korean clerk in a shop XD back that time my Japanese wasn’t good enough to understand broken Japanese either, so we were kind of “hummmmm are you speaking Japanese 👀” to each other, quite hilarious. I think a very important thing is, the natives could understand what you are saying even if your speaking is really broken. But only when you are understandable for a foreign beginner, like I am learning Japanese and a Japanese learner from Europe could understand me speaking Japanese (which means they can’t modify/rearrange what I have said to a meaningful message on their own in their head) then I am really coming to a level of communicable. In my opinion you two are good at it, especially Matt. Seriously I thought Matt was born in Japanese family. And your Chinese... is almost “very great” according to China accent XD but you do good in tones. And when you said 可以給我一個袋子嗎 the way you said 子 (and 袋 too) sounds like Taiwanese too, hum 👀 while when you said 可以給我 it’s definitely China accent 🤔Anyway cool! I subscribe to some Japanese YouTubers teaching Japanese for Chinese speakers and I have to say... they are really good at writing (with few flaws) and they really teach very detail things but really not tonal in speaking Chinese...XDDD even European like the Ku did better than them. They claimed to be able to speak 10 languages but Chinese is also their best foreign and the others are somewhere between A2~B2 as they claimed their Chinese is C2 or something. I was like: o...kay? Btw, Ku is a French YouTuber now living in Taiwan, making videos in Mandarin Chinese so he is also somehow Taiwanese YouTuber, and he is really good at Mandarin Chinese (TW) despite of not being tonal enough. His channel is “Ku’s dream酷的夢-”. But this is not a language channel! It’s more like “hey Taiwan (and Korea) is so cool!” Channel

  24019. Just love you and your channel. It popped up and I’ve already watched several videos. Love how the people of Japan are so nice it seems. Not like the ones here in America. Don’t get me wrong there are amazing People that live in America, just not in big cities. That’s why I don’t live in cities here. But anyway love you channel and I hope good things continue to happen for you ✌️🇺🇸

  24028. This is absolutely a thing! As someone who learnt in SCHOOL and not online, very very pathetic and RUDE seeing (especially in my case nihongo) people claim to be fluent AND teach it wrong. No one calls them out! I dont get it. Likes over truth huh. 馬鹿馬鹿し。もうやめてくれ😭😭

  24044. Korean's difficult you have to deal with tense conjugation, and politeness conjugation and when you have mastered all the grammar, you will have to deal with the cultural aspect (e.g. really really beating around the bush when communicating with people of higher status)

  24045. Loved this!

  24046. You know what, as I am learning Chinese I haven't any problem remembering the dialogs and mostly the expressions because I am Asian. Here the way you start the conversation is very similar to Chinese and Japanese so its easy for me. And in Chinese, it doesn't have any hard grammar rule and that's what I think.

  24057. I watched your video speak fluently at "Chinese and Japanese"before l'm wondering Do you remember all the chinese character and kanji ? Bcoz I watched other's video the native speaker doesn't even remember all those character.
    1
  24058. What can I even say about this? The preview in the first minute was awesome already! I spend a lot of time watching videos showing cool things about various countries, often Japan, but a video like this is really heartwarming to see someone experiencing so much American stuff and getting excited! Actually, it's also new to me because I've never been to Michigan! You make me want to go too! I GOTTA GET THAT MICHIGAN BASKET!! "Do you know how to eat it?" "No lol." eats it perfectly He's a natural, MARRY HI- oh. The awe he had of your house was fun to see. THE HOUSE IS SO HUGE. THE ROOMS ARE HUGE. THE BATHROOM = HUGE. Was that German restaurant like a beer garden or something? That town looks really cool! EMBARASSING PHOTOS PART DEUX!! YOUR DAD SPEAKS JAPANESE TOO??? You and your whole family are awesome!! The energy at the Redwings game looks unreal, I'm glad he got to experience that!! That sendoff was bittersweet! America will miss you too Tommy! The back to back of your mom first visiting Japan and then your Husband going to America was such a unique display of cultural exchange, and all in one channel! It's so cool that you got to introduce a family member to a whole new place and culture in each video! Btw, when did you go to Arizona? I might not be following too closely, but your last video had a preview where you guys hiked in Arizona but this one took place in Michigan. DID I MISS A SECOND AMERICA ADVENTURE??? Thank you for making these videos! C:

  24081. Could you do an episode on actual handwriting vs printed characters? Either Chinese, Japanese (Kanji) or both. Like how does someone reasonably, in a an essay for instance, fit 鬱 into a line? I'm starting to get the hang of how SOME printed strokes translate into a Chinese "cursive" style writing, but I'm still at a loss for others.

  24082. this is just my random question. Have you visited Yoyogi Park? is it okay for Tourist to take a videos or pictures there? I've heard somewhere (i forget where) that there's "No Taking Pictures or Videos" caution there. but I'm not sure.

  24084. I am an Italian studying chinese language, I think that to pronounce some chinese sounds it can be difficult for many people if they didn't study them. This so doesn't mean that japanese people should be able to say chinese words just because they are close to China. If I try to let an italian or an american to say that words, the resoult will be the same. Ri and Re sound are the basics of the study, but difficult for newcomers.

  24105. reminds me of learning to play a music instrument, takes about 6 months of (almost) everyday practice to get to solid beginner, advanced beginner to intermediate level at 1 year, but at least 3 years of playing for an advanced intermediate level, going past that stage takes natural talent, and another 2-3 years to make it to advanced, the small % of people who make it to 1 year plateau there, and an even smaller % advance past that stage - I started at 9 and play several music instruments, also taught many beginning players, I made it to advanced with only 1 instrument, prob because I formally studied it at university, getting close to advanced on a second instrument rn, also found that resuming intense practice in middle age (40s) after not playing anything for almost 20 years, was improving my mental health, wonder if learning a new language does that too!?

Japanese can be really nice they can be really shy and scared to talk to foreigners since they rarely encounter one and are scared of the language barrier Not to much of a problem for me I speak fluent Japanese the only problem I have is that they ask such personal questions I would never get asked in the states I know they aren’t used to it so I try to be nice other than that such nice people I feel so safe in Japan not currently living their I’m planning on moving once I finish college it’s been I life long dream to move to Japan I also wanted to live in South Korea I just have a hard time choosing which one I wanna visit first.

    1
  24122. This is a really stimulating video but let me start by saying what I disagree with. I think it's Matt who says talent or skill (I don't remember the exact word) doesn't matter in language learning. Well, my experience as both a teacher and a learner suggests otherwise. Yes, the difference between the gifted and the "average" people is not as big as in say sports. Moreover, learning a language is something that any person can do if they apply themselves to it. Learning a difficult language like Chinese or Arabic is a lot more about self-discipline than talent, esp. comparing to what most ppl think. But are there people who are gifted for learning languages? Oh yes, you bet there are! Second, "wide polyglossy" (speaking 15, 20+ languages at a mediocre level) is far from easy. i think the vid seriously underestimated its difficulty. Even learning as little 5-10 phrases in 20 separate lanaguages is complicated enough to give me nausea just to think about. Third there sure are legit ways to learn up to 10-15 languages at good level. We can debate the benefits, but there is no doubt it's intellectually challenging. You can can exploit the fuzzy distinction between language and dialect and just by learning all Romance languages you become a polyglot! (which is probably easier, esp. if you come from English, than learning well a single difficult language like Chinese or Arabic). Also if you are born bilingual (esp. if the langs are significantly diff) you have a very good head start. Note here that bilingualism and trilingualism is quite common in africa and from what I've seen it can help a lot to learn more (esp. when it comes to pronouncing and learning grammar, vocabulary is ofc another story) Finally, I have to say I spend a lot of my time on youtube looking up vids on foreign lang learning and more generally education but I haven't come across the "fake polyglots", so it's a bit hard for me to judge the accuracy of what you say. That said, I think it's good you discuss polyglossy here and yes, it's very often confused for something it is not. It's often more of a challenge to oneself than an actually useful skill, esp. when we talk about ppl who know 10+ langs at a mediocre level. I wouldn't dismiss it as an intellectual pursuit, but you do very well to present it in a more realistic way.

  24124. I am a native Chinese speaker, speaks pretty good English, I can read hiragana and katakana, I lost my motivation to learn Japanese because half of the time, I can make out the kanji meaning, the other half I can pretty much guess the English word from katakana, also with basic understanding of the Japanese grammar, I think I am done as far as the reading.😁

  24127. Being in love with the history/culture/people of Japan since I was 7, I used to have fun just talking to anyone who I would meet, whether asking for directions (in broken Japanese, when I first visited in 1980), or like yourself Anming, just to tell people you like their style or to say Hello. At least putting out the effort to talk in a native language will ease others and as long as they can feel you are trying, you can get many conversations or just fun reactions out of everyone. 7歳の時から日本の歴史・文化・人に愛されていて、道を尋ねる（壊れた日本語で、1980年に初めて訪れたとき）など、会う人と話すだけで楽しんでいました自分のAnming、自分のスタイルが好きだとか、"こんにちは"と言ったりするだけです。少なくとも母国語で話す努力を払えば、他の人は楽になります。彼らがあなたがしようとしていると感じることができる限り、多くの会話を得ることができます。 Love your videos, Anming, but still makes me miss Japan very much, as I can't wait for the "virus" to subside or go away, so I can visit Japan again soon :-)

  24132. Those comments are so pitiful and angry. How many times do we have to hear someone who “isn’t” dissin’ someone who “is”. The ones who are getting on with their lives and goals don’t have time to analyze someone else’s actions. They not only criticize but take additional time to make certain others hear their critique. This only serves to make the person more miserable with the realization that the skill they are developing is “disrespect”. It’s like living in …. sewage - it gets all over you and no one wants to be around

If you listen to a Chinese with a strong Northeast accent, it must be from Liaoning Province. People, there is one more point, the Northeast dialect is super infectious. Anyone who spends a long time with the Northeast accent will become the Northeast accent, hahahahaha Ai Fukuhara（福原爱）, a famous Japanese table tennis player, has lived in China for many years and studied in the table tennis team. His roommate is from Liaoning.，You listen to her chinese，A cute idol star，Become standard 东北大妮儿.

  24145. I always thought learning a new language is a huge endeavour. It was such a serious business I couldn't even choose which one to study. And there are many that I absolutely love. But watching Wouter and his street conversations somehow inspired me to go big, have fun, so now I'm studying Japanese of all the languages. It's not a very practical decision for me since I'm not planning to go to Japan any time soon, although of course I would love to. But I could have chosen French or Spanish that as a European I understood a little, but no, I chose an adventure. So, very grateful to stumble across those videos on youtube. My conclusion, have fun, take risks!

  24164. The people who bag on you guys ain’t nothin. There arguments sound more like jealousy. Haha I have been loving your vids. You not only get to hear the language but learn about these places your going to and how you interact. It makes it seem so plausible to learn and travel. Keep it up !

  24170. If there was ever such a thing as a Youtube Ambassador I could not think of anyone better to represent the Youtube watching world than you Oriental Pearl . I did find the fact that someone as adventurous as yourself not wanting to eat Cow tongue quite amoosing, yep I did it I went there, and I have no shame. I just hope there won't be any beef between us because of my humor.

  24171. Hi I just found your channel and I find it fascinating! I have a question, did you learn Chinese before moving to China or did you mainly learn the language over there?
    1
  24172. You must have made quite an impression at that restaurant to be the "beautiful foreign girl" in their memory. Your long blonde hair probably helps you stand out.

  24173. This video was jam packed full of information on learning a language!

  24176. These people who are hating on you Polyglots are just jealous, and they feel uncomfortable with themselves. Typical hater shit, and try to back it up with their opinion. KEEP DOING YOU! Fok a hater, live your life, and see you later! As always, great content!

  24183. You are quite the celebrity... 😎

  24184. I totally get the thing about questions getting old. I'm from Canada, so people don't randomly start asking height questions as often (still happens, I had two people pass me today and say "he's tall!" I also had a Costco worker the day before ask about me), but if I ever go to the states... sometimes I feel like I should charge 🤣 I don't mind conversation because people are generally nice, but hearing "do you play basketball" can be disappointing and feel like a label.
    1
  24185. Great job! Pretty interesting to learn lots of languages. :))
    1
  24186. Why not read the book in its original language? a lot of nuance is lost in translation...even translating from similar languages such as Spanish to English. I would prefer to read chinese original books in Chinese than its translated version in English...the loss of nuance is huge from Chinese to English.

  24190. Cow tongue tastes good depending on how it’s cooked. But that might go with almost any kind of food. Loved your choice of cafe though.

  24191. Your business card is so cute and so clever!

  24192. I'm always impressed by people who can Learn Mutiple Languages.
    1
  24193. You speaks Russian, English,Chinese and Japanese?
    1
  24194. Hey Anming! I am interested in studying abroad in taiwan or china. And I was wondering if you knew any good resources to get started on research.
    1
  24195. I'm fluent in Spanish and English (native Spanish and graduated from a university in the UK) and I'm currently living in Japan and trying my best to learn Japanese. I also studied French for around 5 years in school so I could possibly be able to carry a very casual conversation, quite sloppily, however, since I haven't had a chance to practice it much and probably forgot about 90% of it. So I would never claim to be able to speak French as to me claiming that you're able to speak another language means that you're perfectly fluent at it, almost at native level. I've also met many people that claim they can speak Spanish but when I actually start to talk to them in Spanish at a regular speed they never seem to understand what I am saying so I always find myself speaking extra slowly and having to modulate extra carefully, which is generally not how someone that's native or at a decent level of fluency would sound like. So yeah, basically for me most of these polyglot channels have always been bs but who am I to judge these type of things when I even have trouble speaking my native language sometimes.
    1
  24196. You look as though you really enjoy yourself.
    1
  24197. Can't say that I care for that kind of content, but to each their own. Beyond the criticisms you mentioned, I'd imagine that some of it just comes down to people's own experiences with language learning. To put it bluntly, a lot of people have had the experience of getting stuck for a while on top of the infamous Dunning-Krueger "Mt Stupid". Usually somewhere around upper-beginner, lower-intermediate. Dunno. B1? Somewhere around there. And one causal factor in that is the positive feedback you get from native speakers, which can inflate your sense of accomplishment. Getting down from "Mt Stupid" can be a rather embarrassing experience. The ego takes a hit. So then when you've gone through that and you see content that is putting positive feedback from natives front and center, you can't help but think "aaaah no, be really careful with that stuff or you're gonna get stuck just like I did". Add to that the fact that the level someone like Wouter aims for (and displays in his videos) happens to coincide with the level that many of us experienced retroactively as "Mt Stupid", and yeah, you can get fairly strong reactions to it. Don't get me wrong: I'm not judging Wouter for not aiming any higher than that. That's just a matter of personal preference. I'm just saying that from the perspective of learners who have pushed further, there's an overlap between certain risks they think you should avoid if you want to learn the language further and what his kind of content celebrates. Of course, it's not just B-level learners that make that kind of reaction video. But from what I've seen on Xioma's channel, he's getting the same kinds of reactions with Chinese than he is with languages he's only been studying for a few weeks... Which just brings us back to that initial point of saying "be careful with positive feedback from natives, because it really doesn't mean much".
    1
  24198. Yeah we asians feel the same here in america. We just want to fit in too.....
    1
  24199. I thought the title was clickbait, but your Mandarin is legit on point, from pronunciation to vocabulary. Pronunciation is usually the hardest to get right and you've really nailed it. You sound more native than a lot of Chinese-Americans, lol.
    1
  24200. Your channel is interesting. Lots of humor and cool touches. But you are beautiful 😍

  24201. For teaching adults in Japan at an Eikaiwa, would 40 years old be considered too old to get a job? Is it uncommon? I have heard in Korea that they prefer younger teachers, is the same true in Japan? Again, I am talking about private Eikaiwa's like AEON teaching adults and not a program like JET teaching kids in public schools. I value your opinion which is why I am asking you. Thank you.

  24213. I learned a lot of languages by watching Anime and listening to k-Pop and basically how the idols live their life you know just listening makes me better. Like watching Hunter x Hunter(Japanese) Hunter x Hunter taught me a lot of Japanese. I'm currently learning Korean.

  24214. wow, i am a fan, damn your good

  24215. I really admire your friendly personality! You are so inspiring to me. I can hardly talk to strangers in my own language and country! I wish I could be like you!

  24216. great video

  24217. Congratulations for both accomplishments…👏👏👏

  24218. That's insane. As a Chinese, I have to point out that there are only very few things in common between the language of Chinese, Japanese and Korean. That is insane for a Caucasian to manage to speak all three languages natively. Simply amazing. Madam, u are such a genius.
    1
  24219. Anming, my son taught Japanese in a couple of villages and then Tokyo for five years. He liked it. He's been back for awhile now. He had a sponsor (a better, richer Dad than me for a year.} Jerk. I call him my Japanese son. Back in Cleveland he translates documents for auto manufacturers. And hates it. He got his degree in Japanese from CWRU located here. He misses Japan. He said it was a shock coming back after five years. Your videos are unique. Keep doing them. I got bored after watching a few of the other videos. Some of them with a million views. Doesn't matter. I got sick of them. As you said, all it is is shopkeepers and restaurant staff losing their minds when they see a white guy speaking Chinese. It's different when you do it. It's fun and more personal. Keep doing that. As for your Chinese, it would be valuable for many corporations doing business in China. And you speak Japanese? You're gold. Asia's pretty much it for business. Play your cards right, you'll be key for consulting groups or manufacturers. Maybe get a masters in business. But you may not need it. As for the kids, some of them love you. And don't feel you have no control just because the kids are being kids. But also, don't let them run over you. Loved the video. Keep being you.

  24225. hm.. I suppose that reason in Japanese are confuse about you like a Russian lady is maybe they had a beautiful image and expand to northeast Asia for active as a fashion model, broadcaster, youtuber etc.. and also close nation as a geopolitics than western Europe 😅✌

  24226. Awesome I’ve signed up. Can’t wait for more vids!
    1
  24227. Actually go out and use it with people. I noticed that a lot of vloggers live in a foreigners bubble in Japan. They go out to stores and talk with their students but don't really spend their lives among Japanese people. Teacher can help with proper language use for the same reason we teach English in American schools but to speak freely comes from actual usage.
    1
  24228. Thank you for your video I’ve been to Japan once in the 80’s it was amazing I remember feeling very safe even being out late at night. Is it still safe or very dangerous?
    1
  24229. Another great video. Where did you grow up in the US? And only 8 years that you live in China but your Chinese is way better than most people’s English who have been studying English for 20+ years.

  24240. Great video. I'm still trying to learn Spanish. Forget Chinese! However, I spend 6 hours a day on chemistry, Physics and math and know those well. Too bad the day only has 24 hours and we need to sleep every now and then.

  24241. Oh wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. Just started studying Japanese. This is my 2nd month and I am enjoying it so far. Waiting to see where language learning will take me in life.

  24252. You seem to get more reactions from Chinese speakers than Japanese/Korean. I also don't think I've ever seen anyone genuinely surprised at my Japanese. I mean, they say oh wow! You speak Japanese! It's so good! But nothing that would ever make its way into a YouTube video.

  24259. Hello Anming! Just subscribed to your channel. First Im glad you found a way to stay in Japan while waiting for the travel mayhem caused by the Covid-19 to settle. I admire your realism in sharing your experiences. Im a Filipino health professional hired by an American company last 2014 to work here in the US due to an actual shortage on my field of work. The fastest was through H1B so I started working here even without a green card, thinking I can start the process for permenent residency while working here. Then POTUS 45 took over last 2016 and issued blanket executive orders that caused severe delays in all processing of green cards. If someone has time I can spend hours sharing all my experiences since then but in short my life here has been horrible for the past two years. Finally I got permanent residency last quarter of 2019. For my love to live and work in your homeland, Anming, I was willing to endure that. God bless America!

  24261. Two restaurants side by side. One has a line; the other doesn't. The owner should come out and give a speech: "Please try our restaurant. We have good food also. Try it. You will see." Give people the choice, stand in line for an hour or get just as good food with no line. I'll bet many would give the other restaurant a chance. They just need some encouragement to switch.

  24262. omg this is so cute ,congratulations <33

  24268. So cool to see you putting the effort in! I think some of the shock is also that you wear American-style clothing so they assume you're a tourist.

  24274. I think a lot of people want learning language to be easy, but it's like learning to play a musical instrument. It takes a lot of study and practice, and most people just want to get fluent quickly and get it over with. It just doesn't work like that.
    1
  24275. I love her voice it’s so calming
    1
  24276. Oh, congratulations! :) I didn't see this coming; was it also a complete surprise for you? Would be awesome to see you guys move out to New York someday and travel the world from there. New York = the best place to surround yourself by new languages.

  24281. Ohh I understand that very well, I'm 44 years old and my English is so bad that I write this with google translation and it annoys me even if I dare to speak English well, what can I say, people look like me surprised at how those who tell you your chinese is really very good only believe me your people mean it positively, mine rather not because it is assumed that you can speak english, i am now learning chinese on my own and find your channel interesting and inspiring👍👌

  24282. I’m from California and want to go to japan for various reasons the culture, the people,and nature I feel it’s a great place for my spiritual growth. I hate to bring up race but it’s something I must think about knowing I would stand out as a black foreigner in particular. I’ve heard some things that repel me from going. African Americans people encountering stares or people touching hair without consent or people being scared or not sitting near you on public transport . Would I truly have nothing to worry about city vs mainland? I plan on going in a year or 2 when this illness calms down and I would be able to at least hold a basic conversation in Japanese. I’m outgoing tbh even more when speaking , Japanese I wonder if my appearance would hinder me from making friends or even a gf who knows, just want to know your honest take on it if you have one thank you 😊

  24293. You made that woman's day. It's good seeing people treating each other with kindness. On another note, being a Chinese American whom cannot speak my native language, I won't get those huge reactions you get if I were to speak perfect Chinese. Lucky you.
    1
  24294. You should teach us a phrase or two in a video and than show yourself and native speakers using those phrases in real life situations. I think those would make for very interesting and helpful videos.

  24309. His Japanese is at the best level for foreigner. HOWEVER it’s 100 percent because he is from Finland.  Finnish language does not belong to Indo-European language family. Finnish is grammatically so close to Japanese. Finnish language is close to Japanese, Korean, Mongolian,Manchu Turkish, Uzbek, Kazakh, Uighur, Estonian, Hungarian and etc. Today, Finnish and Hungarian look absolutely European but their origins long time ago were from the east. Turkish, Mongolian, Hungarian, Finnish, Korean, Uzbek, Manchu and etc in Japan learn much more quickly Japanese and become better speakers than those from people of Indo European language family.

  24315. That's right, integrating and get good at the language is the best way to make new freinds and impress people. To bad there are people who don't realise that and expect the same kind of goods, jobs, and treatment as the ones who are integreted and show respect.

  24318. Low production quality? Who the hell said that to you?? I really like your style of video making and I love your content. Frankly, the most important thing is loving what you do, and I think that is exactly what you're doing! Learning new things is a massive part of life! You also add your own charm to the content you create. Also, this was a very interesting video. I think that opening your mind and learning about another culture is incredibly beneficial and could very well change a person. That's pretty amazing. I'm going to keep learning Japanese and one day, I want to look back and be proud of myself for taking the effort to learn the language, visit the country and simply enjoy Japan for the beautiful and unique (and of course not flawless) place that it is.

  24327. tbh, what I would do depends on my mood. Which isn't good, because being in a nasty mood would make me respond badly, which would make my mood even worse. I try to remember that even if the comment is (technically) about me (or someone I'm with), the motivation for the comment probably has nothing to do with me. Sometimes you make fun of a third person to bond with the person you are talking to. Sucks to be the third person, but it's really not about you.

  24331. 2:38, this hurt me so much girl...you are beautiful and i really love the way you look, everyone is unique and beautfiul in their own way. So don't say that you are not considered pretty in the USA, those things such as beauty standard bla bla bla, are so stupid, don't pay that much attention to them. God bless <3

  24341. I don’t know who gave people the audacity to tell other people how to live their life if living your life in a different country makes you happy and speaking with other people makes you happy then that should be all that matters you’re educating other people on a daily basis and that’s really cool I have always loved your channel. I know I find it really sad when other people hate on other people just because. Just keep doing you and that should be all that matters❤️

  24343. Hi Pearl. Oh my goodness. I was really feeling your relief we you shared with us that you were allowed to stay longer. I try to stay open minded for that Forest Gump “box of chocolates” that you don’t know what you get, moments that life throws at you. I was in S Korea waiting for a train with my friend when an older senior man started yelling. I started looking for the person he was yelling at. My friend (who spoke Korean) told me the man was yelling for us to leave his country and go back to our own country. We ignored him, got on the train , and met many other wonderful Korean people that day. I enjoyed my holiday in S Korea. I’ve been to Japan 2 times & lived in Germany when I was a child. Now I am having fun learning the German language I had forgotten. I think you are really awesome. Stay strong and Wünsche gute Gesundheit—Good health to you.

  24369. To learn a foreign language well, it helps to have a good ear. If you're tone deaf, you can learn the new language by rote, but it's so much harder to acquire.

  24370. Nothing of the video is a surprise to me maybe because i have been watching others channels of native people like アットホームチャンネル or 1日見てもいいですか but really my conclusion is if you are gonna become homeless or you wanna be one there is not better place than living on japan
    1
  24371. This is so cool! What street is this? Hopefully things get better and I can visit one day!
    1
  24372. This is my first time watching your video; got me interested; no hate. Just a feedback: you showed your whole content pretty much at the intro; i thought you would be talking to other people too but was only those two scenes like shown in the intro

  24395. @Oriental Pearl This blows my mind so much. My maiden name is Alisa Poole. I went by Lisa Poole when I was younger....but I grew up in Western Tokyo in a town called Akishima. Can't help but wonder if I didnt know her parents or grandparents-and wonder if I didnt influence her name somehow. 😜 As most typical Americans, of course I am vain!

  24396. Mark Zuckerberg was flexing his Chinese in China one time. I do not know Chinese, but I knew he had a strong American accent that probably changed the meaning of words. Comments from Chinese people agreed.
    1
  24397. I love this. I have a new daughter in law. Is it the men don’t hug naturally as a greeting? Or women too? Because I am a huge hugger.
    1
  24398. Have you even been to HK? If so, HK people might feel surprised as those Chinese did in your video, if you speak Mandarin to them. But the only difference might be they feel surprised in a way westerner can speak Mandarin rather than a feeling of intimacy. Not sure whether my assumption is right but it would be worthwhile for you to try and make a video of it if you have a chance. :)

  24404. I’m Chinese and I know three languages but even then I still had a hard time staying fluent in all those languages. How did you manage to get so fluent in Chinese and Japanese?

  24421. Back channeling is something I still can't get rid of in English even after living back in the US for 12 years. I constantly back channel to my American colleagues and friends, sometimes with English words like "right" "uh huh" etc. but also sometimes with non lexical vocalizations like "mmm" and "nnn" which is really just a thinly disguised ”うんん”. I can't not do it. Meanwhile my (Japanese) wife won't continue her sentence UNLESS I back channel at the appropriate spots 😂. My wife has a degree in linguistics from University (in English) here and I ghost-studied everything along with her. We've had many discussions on back-channeling, code-mixing and other linguistic especially pertaining to bilingualism. Fascinating stuff, and I'm glad to see you giving it attention. Great video 👍👍

  24422. Your channel is so fun to watch! I live in Canada half hour from the Detroit Windsor border so I love it when you talk about Detroit!! ❤ I’ve been going to Detroit since I was a kid.. and it just keeps getting better and better. ❤😊

  24435. Hi; to be honest I still curious how can I improve my language skills like you. Especially when we talk about Japanese language. I have no idea how can I move in to the next level . Faster and more effectively. I am exhausted of many YouTube tips or materials which actually have the same information and not provide a good recommendations. 😢😢😢😢I am also overwhelmed. Should I learning by myself or again looking tutor. 😢

  24437. Aren’t they called Japanese Brits? Like the Hong Kong natives are Chinese Brits? My parents did the same with us, we had to speak Spanish, and Portuguese at home since we got English at school.

  24449. First off if you can make money from showing something interesting and you are not hurting anyone then ** them and make money. Their opinion doesn't matter your well being does. Don't take it to heart. Its interesting subject for anyone to speak another language and work in those countries. Straight ignorant of people to attack you or anyone that speaks multiple languages. I don't watch Xiaomanyc because its usually useless bait videos but he's making money and supporting local venues. I wouldn't care if you did the same I'd still watch your video because I'm trying to relate and learn more languages.

  24493. Drunkards and random creepers talking to young girls I'd have to say is a worldwide thing. Good on you for taking it with stride and moving on with your day! I've also heard about gaijin hunters and lots of other foreigners have the same encounters you have had with these type of men.

  24496. I've just started learning Chinese and your video is very motivate me.
    1
  24497. Oh you like animes? I suggest u to watch 'grave of the fireflies' (studio ghibli), aswell as 'Jin-Roh' written by mamoru oshii. My last recommendation is 'akira' but to understand the anime you might need to read the mangas first. These are the good ones from the late 80's..
    1
  24498. You are adorable and captivating at the same time. New sub here.
    1
  24499. Wait, can you speak Chinese and Japanese???? Cuz that’s so cool
    1
  24500. I'm French, and even though I understand and speak (a little bit) English, it can still be surprising at beggining, when a stranger is engaging a straight conversation (without saying 'Hello' or 'Excuse me') in a language that is not your native one. You become afraid to say something dumb, and not be understood because of the accent.
    1
  24501. One of the reasons people watch your easy videos is Steve Krashen's "comprehensible input" theory. I think your friend Matt agrees with this. My target language is Russian. I look for input at my level or slightly higher. I use Steve Kaufman's Lingq program.

  24505. Fortunately I learned both Japanese and Chinese. Now only remains , to check my ability by visiting both countries

  24506. Green tea KitKat is nice too😀
    1
  24507. Agree with a lot of the points you(Oriental Pearl) and Matt pointed out! It is channels like these that actually inspired me to want to learn Japanese and to take it to a higher level than just はじめまして。XXです、よろしくお願いします。In regards to what you mentioned with how easier conversations garner more views, I would actually say that that's true. A lot of people wants to learn simple phrases then call it a day. They assume that knowing a simple greeting would mean they are fluent in said language. In my own experience, growing up as a bilingual(native English and Mandarin Chinese speaker), I would still admit that my Mandarin is really bad. Can I speak conversations and write and read? Definitely, but if you ask me to write something that requires a high command of Chinese like for example world news(I could understand what Oriental Pearl was saying, just using it as an example), I would have trouble forming a proper sentence that covers that said topic. Whenever I apply for a job, I always put an effort to say that I'm good at conversational Mandarin but not written even though I have been brought up to speak Mandarin.

  24514. Congrats and wishing you a long life of happiness and health. Rain on your wedding day is said to be good luck. My mom was a bridal designer. It's suppose to signify a lasting wedding because when a knot gets wet, it's much harder to untie.

  24519. Hey Peral, I just wanted to let you know it’s really unhealthy to eat unscaled fish and Pork flesh. It causes many problems health-wise, long term. The Torah, Gospel, and Quran all confirm this message. It is unclean for humans to eat. Causes long term neurological diseases as well as causes people to get fat. Affects everyone differently but the point is, it’s not good for you. Be conscious of how you feel after you eat it, come to your own conclusions, but for sure, this type of food makes you want to eat more and more. God bless, thank you for sharing your amazing experiences with us, I watch all your videos!

  24520. Hello I m Justin Nice to meet you

  24522. Good Video. I'd like to see you go to a section of your location where the seniors hang out and talk to them about their views of our present day world and maybe get them to reminisce about the days of their youth; the good old days in Japan.

  24523. My Homeroom teacher taught English in Japan before the tsunami in 2011, She was back home in America at the time, but after the tsunami hit, she went to help with cleanup in the town she lived in while she was in Japan.

  24524. It's interesting that Tokyo accent for girls is different than accent for girls in other parts of Japan. But you have young and older girl accents. I guess that's similar to girls in any country. If you're from cali or new york as a girl, your accent is going to be different. Went to a big Halloween event last night in Shijingshan, Beijing. SOOOO many people, a lot of people dressed up to different degrees. mostly women, fewer guys

  24525. Haha :-) , thanks Anming for this beautiful elevator-dramatization-scene ("The agents are watching"). ,,Keep it up. All your video I've watched so far are very enjoyable. --Though remember to 'protect-others' also ,by wearing masks in tight inside-areas. Its not only self-protection, but perhaps more to prevent spreading one's(your) 'own' dormant natural viruses also. /br, from Norway. Thanks again.

  24549. Does she come from Warabi? Warabi station- Nishi Kawaguchi station- Kawaguchi station Warabi has Kurdish town. Nishi Kawaguchi has Uighur town. Kawaguchi has Northeastern(Manchurian) town. Explore the north bank up from Tokyo boarder and you’ll find the neighborhoods that no foreign media and no youtuber from US, Canada, Australia and etc don’t know. Diverse foreign people living in those neighborhoods don’t have any contact with so called ‘Gaijin expats community’. You are the only unique one and other ‘gaijin youtuber’ who thinkselves to be representatives of all foreigners living in Japan should watch your channel. Tokyo is indeed much more international than many foreigners think. (Even if somebody from like US that travels to Japan without any single knowledge of the languages stay in Ikebukuro, he/she will be repeat the cliche ‘ Japan is very homogeneous ’ but if you understand Chinese, you will often catch Chinese spoken on street.) For example Tokyo’s first and biggest mosque was built in 1930’s as a part of the policy in those days for Muslim people from Inner Mongolia and Xibei and it was rebuilt in Yoyogi later and was now renovated to be Turkish culture center because Muslim Tatar refugees from Russia to Japan used to attend the mosque along with those from China and got Turkish passports later. Muslims in Japan are not from middle east but from China and central Asia. Japan had historically almost no relationship with for example Africans so the color of skin is not diverse at all but Tokyo has been still very international, which most of westerners don’t know about. For instance, today, I found an Uzbek guy who can barely pass as Japanese, working in my local convenience store. The imperial family of Qing dynast has been living in Japan as refugees when China was renewed. If you try, you can find good number of very old Japanese people who used to live in Northeast. If you can good at reading Japanese, you will have a lot of novels about the northeast by Japanese novelists. Btw I know where you live because I was hospitalized there when I was 7 year old. Looking forward to the next cocking video.

  24551. Congratulations on your wedding. Sorry your family could not come. Hope and pray for the blessings of you and your husband. I hope Japan will be open to foreigners soon as I be heading there in September from here in Australia.

  24552. Because people are "people" and that is why some of those people do not react to a foreigner speaking their language.
    1
  24553. I understand 6 foreign languages : English, German, French, Arabic, Russian, and Mandarin with different levels of abilities. I'm a 50 year-old Indonesian. I speak German pretty well, and been to Munich to learn German. It was long time ago that I reached B2 level, nearly C1. But it seems that my German deteriorates. I also learned French and Russian, but I don't speak those languages very well like my German, and of course, my fluent English. Now I'm learning Mandarin, and I believe my Mandarin reached A2 or B1 level, because I got Hsk-3 in October 2019. The problem is maintaining the ability. Once you get the B level, you start to be fed up with the language you have learned, unless you have a very high motivation and specific purpose to learn the language. And after that the next question is whether you can maintain the level that has been attained. I reached B2 or even almost C1 in German long time ago, but now it seems that I can only answer relatively correct the B1 level. My German deteriorates. Language is a matter of habits and habitation....

  24554. I trying to learn Chinese and Japanese. So i picked up Japanese first, but idk when start to learn Kanji my head more like get nothing from what i learn.

  24567. Awesome video! Keep up the great work!

  24568. How/Where did you learn such great Chinese? I need to know. Pls🥺🥺
    1
  24569. I was comparing Japanese and Slovenian work. We start way earlier, usually at 7am, so most schools start at 8am and you can bring your children is schools as earlier as 6am. But then we also get to finish our working day earlier. And some eat lunch in local restaurants while some just bring sandwich or yogurt to work and eat while keep working. Our mentality is: if you rest you are lazy (although it depends on generation), so many overwork themselves. That means even at home everybody always works on something - cleaning and gardening is popular, or creating something for the house.

  24578. I think when you become an adult you're supposed to choose either passport. However it seems to not be strictly enforced. In other words many people carry two (or more) into adulthood. I would like to have a world passport, travel and stay wherever I wanted whenever.

  24579. Thanks!

  24591. The girl dressed in color clothes (decora fashion) looks a lot like Haruka Kurebayashi! She's famous abroad in the japanese fashion community (although after seeing her instagram i just realized it isn't her lol). The guy next to her was junnyan, another popular fashion icon. I can't believe you managed to run into them on the street like that XD
    1
  24592. I am very amused that you can speak Chinese and Japanese. Chinese and Japanese is the hardest language to master if your native language is English. If I was to ever visit Japan I think I would rely more on the Google translate to help me out

  24593. Waaaaaat. Congrats! Finally

  24595. In Portugal, pig ears are considered (kind of) a delicacy and it's called "orelheira", from the term "orelha" (ear), so are the nose and the intestines. The three are commonly used in multiple recipes of bean/chickpeas stews or by them selfs. I won't tell what "túbaros" is... And you would probably be more interested in "pasteis de nata". It's what you usually call Portuguese egg tart (the translation is more like cream tart).

  24596. Where's the home fries and scrambled eggs and ham steaks and sausage and French toast and pancakes with Maine maple syrup. Not that rice paper 😂🌷🙏

  24603. Love 露天風呂　.... so nice, outdoor hot tub, usually with a forest or ocean view (not always, but I stay a places with it ... （日光と箱根）。　Also, I love tatami mat rooms, the warmth and scent of woven bamboo. If you ski, you should visit Hokkaido. More snow up there than Aomori and the food is sooooo goood.

  24606. Fire escape, fire plan, fire alarm, fire hazard. It was freaky enough just being on the end of your arm... Run run away. Too many sticks too many hot lights too many others too many obstacles. Too few ways out. I'm still running. Edit: I just turned back to hit the like. It's only polite. Running away now. またね

  24611. 3:35 That guy was like did I heard what I just heard? It is so fun to see the shock faces of those people when you speak their language!
    1
  24612. I’ve often wondered about your name being Anming, which I assume is Chinese. Was it the name your parents gave you at birth? If so, why? Do they have a story behind it? Is that what lead you wanting to go to China?
    1
  24613. what makes this discussion so good is that we can see u guys r having genuine fun.
    1
  24614. To tell you the truth. I watch your videos because of your English.

  24638. I don't really see a point on learning a lot of languages and barely being able to understand it deeper, but as long it is studied to a intermediate level is okay but it's really time consuming learning languages to that level or higher.
    1
  24639. Hi so where do you like more to live Japan, China or US?
    1
  24640. It's funny how wedding is the final step after moving together XD , in my culture you get engaged ,then start dating, if it worked well get married in 3 mounths ! You can't go on trips or move together unless you're married , I think it is good since you date with the intention of getting married most people don't breakup .+ Divorce is alowed in my religion not a great option but if things just don't workout at all they can divorce , this is why to prevent that that "dating after engagement " period should be taken seriously

  24641. Beautiful 😊

  24642. Hello , you are so talented person, i hope you will be next us president. 加油 ！

  24643. Amazing! How do you learn Mandarin and Japanese? Apart from English, Chinese and Japanese, do you know another language?
    1
  24644. Another great video! If I ever get to go to japan again, that'd be pretty cool if I were to see you on the street, but I'd probably not want to disturb you to get a photo lol

  24645. This was really informative. (And fun). Thanks.

  24646. The fact that anime helped me partially understand these convo’s is crazy
    1
  24647. I have used HelloTalk, it's great when you are inside the country. but it's definitely harder to find & get responses outside it.. I don't know if they fixed the algorithms since then. Protip - set your main language to english, even if your native language is something else + fake the GPS location lol

  24654. There's some octopus that will, LITERALLY, walk on the beach, like turtles or crabs. Check out some videos of it. But that was totally random seeing an old man with an octopus, when the beach is nowhere near.

  24656. i've been made aware of this in one of Language Jones videos about certain popular yt "polyglots" and people in the comments quickly pointed out xiaomai 😅 after that, i always look doubtfully whenever someone claims to be a polyglot, especially in youtube

  24657. good for you!!! We love you because of what you do

  24658. You are awesome at starting conversations. I've learned a lot from these videos, thank you.
    1
  24659. I like this style video best! I like how you throw in facts and images of Japan. Compliments seem like a good way to set the tone when talking to strangers.
    1
  24660. I can't travel there now so I'm living vicariously threw you and I'm enjoying it. It seems that the culture of people are not that diverse like in Hawaii or is that just the area.🙏😷🇺🇸🌷

  24668. i miss Japan, i want to visit again... among the (few) countries I’ve visited, Japan is where i want to visit again. Love the culture, good food, people are nice and disciplined. On topic, they do walk away if you speak English, not to be rude.. maybe they are just not comfortable

  24671. I have studying abroad and living abroad half of my life speak 3 languages but I've been very spoiled all the way with lifestyles and stuff... I do appreciate people who can live in the minimalism.
    1
  24672. You've got such an amusing personality. Like, whenever I'm watching your videos I get this overwhelming urge to bro hug you, or, at least, engage in some kind of secret handshake ritual.
    1
  24673. I really love your sandals in the part where you are in the carriage and wearing a beige skirt!!! Also thank you for the motivation to continue learning Japanese! :D

  24678. like your videos, try coming over to singapore some day.

  24679. I started to learn Japanese a few months ago, and I find your videos where you mix Chinese and Japanese really interesting. I am just beginning to grasp a few words and general ideas when you talk in Japanese, I have a lot ahead of me in terms of studying and practicing. 6:36 I am a bit curious now on how "more advanced stuff" would look in a video. Maybe nuances on communication or regional accents and mannerisms? Great video!

  24689. For once there's a video where the one talking about a disability is disabled herself! Way too often these videos are about experts talking about disabilities, someone reading and explaining statistics or what they read in a book about disabilities or even a family member of someone who's disabled talking about the disability. The voices of the ones who actually HAVE them and who are the most affected by them should be heard more often.

In Europe you only have to drive 2 hours and hear countless other languages. That is quite normal in Europe. So I think your videos should rather amaze American audience.

  24731. Hi Oriental Pearl. I am traveling to Tokyo from Canada in a couple of weeks with a special entry visa. I was told that I will be allowed to enter Japan but I have to stay in quarantine for two weeks and I have to be picked up from the Narita airport by only one person. The regular accommodation businesses are charging for the quarantine accommodation and the airport pickup more than the cost of my flight. I am wondering if you could recommend a lower cost option for my two week quarantine place and my transportation from Narita to the quarantine place? I will be banned from using public transit or sharing a room with other people for two weeks after my arrival. However, as soon as I comply with these two restrictions, I can be picked up from Narita by any person and to stay anywhere in Japan, including an isolated farm in a rural area (one of my dreams). I am looking for something around the $500 dollars cost, I don't need household furniture (neither AC), I only need an empty room, cooking utensils and microwave or gas stove to prepare my food. Thank you.

  24759. Nice intro to two places I'm so curious about! Michigan and Japan. I've worked and studied in Vancouver, California and Costa Rica and would love to experience more. Were you living here to save money & are better accommodations pretty affordable too? P.s. please take your shoes off 😭 Haha. I just buy house slippers that are comfy to change into at home. But kinda disrespectful if your roommates walk in their house shoes or bare feet on the floor that you just walked in outside shoes on.

  24765. Hi Anming, I love your videos because you are spontaneous, genuine and smart. Most people don't understand how difficult it is to reach a high level like yours in two languages ​​so distant from your native language. For school reasons I had to reach a intermediate-high level of Korean language and it was very difficult despite living in Korea for two years and studying six hours a day between school and individual study. I had already studied Latin and French for five years but the Indo-European languages ​​are much easier to study since I am a native Italian speaker. I admire your efforts and I am amazed at your incredible results. Please continue making videos here on youtube. Keep it up! Greetings from Florence, Italy.

  24805. I love Yokohama China Town!!!!! The first time I went there for lunch I left my credit card in the restaurant, I had to let my friend's Japnese wife found the restaurant number and called them, then put myself on the phone after we found out they don't speak much Japanese, then went alllllllll the way back there from Yokohama station. I bought 老干妈s before I went back to Okinawa because there is no Chinese grocery stores in Naha or anywhere!

  24810. Really loved this video. As a language teacher myself I got really skeptical seeing people on YouTube claiming they have learnt a language in 3 days by watching a film or a tv show straight. We know that it takes time and It indeed demands loads of dedication. Ive seen a video which this youtuber claimed a fluency in Spanish and then when he started talking it was so off and there was this delay in his thoughts, which it does not happen when you are fluent in a language. There is a difference between trying to find the right word and when you don't know what or how to use the word.

  24811. She ruined the video by talking about her boyfriend

  24812. Now I see why in your last video you were talking about staying there in the future haha. Congrats!
    1
  24813. Great video and good topic. A few points were very interesting and I would like to comment. The first - why don't non-English speakers speaking English get the same reaction? In my experience, it is because we English speakers have this bias that we expect everyone else to be able to speak language so instead of seeing it as something wonderful, we see it as owed to us. Second - how can you connect on conversations that are no more than about three minutes. If I take a look at most of my interactions with people daily, other than work or family, most of my interactions with people are goal oriented and very brief. The vast number or our spoken interactions are very mundane and very brief. Also, the comment about their being foreigners in these countries for years and yet still the shock of foreigners speaking the language. If it is an white person, it could be them thinking the stereotypical foreigner who only speaks English or in the case of the Japanese person speaking Hindi or Swahili. These languages are not commonly spoken outside of a small group second language learners and so to be with someone who does not fit that stereotypical second language learner can be quite a surprise to me as an individual.

  24835. Great video. Very heartwarming and his dad is very cool. I've often thought to ask you to do a video on food in Japan since I gather you don't cook. Or, did I gather wrongly? Anyway, the food is this video was amazing to see. And I hope you will do a video on the food you like in Japan. All kinds. Street food, snacks and junk food, and restaurant food of all levels. Food is a big part of culture which is something I know you try to present in your videos. Happy New Year.

  24858. I don´t think not learning kanji or not be able to read and write is a short like you said. People have different goals and for some writing an extensive essays in chinese or japanese is not one of them. But I do agree that there are too many fake polyglots on the internet claiming they can speak several languages to a very high level.

  24864. Late to this video. But this is great! Motivating as well as honest! It takes dedication as well as sacrifice, there is no quick fix.

  24865. Anming, this is hilarious. Sorry it "rained in" on your getaway. Lol.
    1
  24866. You have a great accent and speaking style, so well done. I've been to Japan 3 times and I know what its like, to be there in the moment, speaking to people. It's an amazing feeling and post COVID, I will be taking a trip again in the future.
    1
  24867. I loved this!
    1
  24868. I'm Japanese too and respect your video.
    1
  24869. Wow.... you rock! Re: text... I meant the subtitles. The spoken word is really loud and clear and understandable., even the sound of the person near or not so near you. A go pro 7, amazing, and you have it on an extension stick I guess. Do you connect the go pro with an iphone or mac or pc to download the recording? And what software do you use? Hope not to be too much of nuisance. ML, yves

  24870. I smiled throughout the whole video! You guys are so cute together! I’m so happy for you. Wishing I could go to your wedding… I bet its going to be AMAZING! Congratulations 🎉

  24876. When I started watching your videos I understood like 10% of your Chinese now I am at give or take 70%. Getting there! Also please keep giving us these culture bites like the 王老吉 part。 Had no idea what was that before. Cheers

  24877. That dining table is awesome
    1
  24878. I feel like now that it is so easy to reach out to people in different countries it is a great opportunity to use your language skills. The fact that we want it to be more "normalized" i think is fine as long as we respect them and their culture. I don't see an issue with us going over there and recording a normal reaction that you get while living your daily life there. It doesn't seem to bother them so why does it bother other people so bad :I I watch these to learn a little more about the culture/food without the ability to go there.
    1
  24879. I like this vid. Good insight and I like how you two vibe together... I am looking for that Hot spring in the description, and ofcause the food.

  24880. for chinese, is writing the chracters really that neccesary in the first month to 3?
    1
  24881. I'd say simply recognizing them would be enough, nowadays pretty much nobody writes chinese characters by hand anyway..

  24882. This video made me all warm and fuzzy I loved it 🥺💖

  24883. Wanglaoji is sorta 'cooling' herbal tea, opposite to 'warming' herbal like Korean Gensin. I personally feel it's very anti inflammatory, but definitely a no no for conditions like cold or cough. Can be used as laxatives lke prunes, too. So, go easy on it.
    1
  24884. Are you really wondering why old Japanese people stare at or even follow you? You are a blond Russian girl speaking Chinese in Japan 😁 It's not something you se every day. So sometimes you might be even followed. 😀 But Japan is really safe country, there is no need to be worried.

  24885. 你听会区别东北话啊？ 好厉害👍

  24886. At first, when you were in the vehicle, I thought, "Where's the driver?" Then I thought, "Japan must have those driver-less vehicle in place already because they really know how to make great electronics!" And then I remembered that other countries drive on the opposite side of the road that the US does, and also sit on the right side of the vehicle to drive instead of the left. LOL Silly me. AND WOW WOW WOW What a beautiful wedding. A beautiful bride and lucky husband, so cool.

  24909. 3:16 what does the “ya ya ya ya” mean? I hear that in many Japanese conversations. Is it equivalent to “ yeah right” in English?

  24911. Shoutout to graded readers like Mandarin Companion and Chinese Breeze. They're books graded to various levels of Chinese, but with stories for teens/adults. They're soooo much better than reading children's books

  24912. I love this interaction and how the people respect you so much. Yes I subscribed!!!🌹🙏👌

  24913. I'm happy for you guys ☺️❤️ congratulations 🎉
    1
  24914. I just saw this video which you recommended! It's great. It's great that I found your channel in suggested videos earlier today!!! One reason that I like your advice is that you want to go deep to study at the uni, that is what I want too. Even if I decide to learn ten languages, I want all of them to be at an academic level but I am not sure there will be enough hours to learn ten languages to an academic level and live a life at the same time. :) So glad that I have found your channel even though I don't have anything to do with Chinese or Japanese language.

  24915. Hi anming you're so cute you have such a beautiful girl and face love hearing you talk 😚🐕🌷🌹

  24925. Let me guess... People who cringe at these vids, only speaks 1 language.
    1
  24926. Japan is the best country that I have so far visited!
    1
  24927. With all the anxiety inducing news circling around, your videos are really a breath of fresh air. Simple human interactions that bring smiles to peoples faces are exactly what people need right now since most people are stuck at home. Great way to build upon your momentum and keep growing the channel while giving people something other than depressing news to watch all day.
    1
  24928. I had no clue your ancestors were german, Pearl 😱 Vielleicht solltest du in Zukunft mal erwägen Deutsch als nächste Fremdsprache zu lernen? 🇩🇪 (What about learning german? Probably not a big enough challenge for you anymore I guess 😂)

  24931. I’m not subscribed to this channel (yet), but the blonde girl reminds me SO much of my friend! She’s like a bubbly version of my friend (or, my friend is a chiller version of her?) They even look alike, but my friend has black curly hair. So weird! 😄

  24943. ok this is like my 4th comment but this topic has really been irking my soul cause learning a language takes effort and time and dedication. I speak English korean chinese and french. And I still don't consider myself fluent in any of them (lol. Not even my native) but I know that I put a lot if effort into learning these languages because I WANT to and I love learning about the language and it's culture. And seeing certain "polyglots" on here that really have conversations like: "Wow Korean" "Korean" "I learn korean person. How long you learn?" "Yes" Then claim to be fluent like EXCUSE ME??!!

  24951. So cute how everyone is curious about you. 🥰
    1
  24952. Wow, if I understood you correctly, you learned Japanese in 2 years? Here I am in Thailand learning the Thai language for 18 years and still not perfect, but I can have conversations when I am out alone! Wherever you live, you should learn the local language, it's polite and shows you have an interest in the people and are not lazy, expecting them to speak English! I have many Thai friends who say many foreigners who live here are not interested to speak their language and that is shameful! I guess it's just that I am interested in language as a form of communication, most important! Today language tools make it far easier than ever before!
    1
  24953. But with the outbreak in China do you really want to go back right away? How long will Japan let you stay? I think it will be a while before the virus runs its course!

  24979. 150k in 10 months is a pretty amazing feat, but then you are a pretty amazing individual, so it just goes without saying that your unique, educational, and quirky content would be a hit. I came for Japanese language learning tips and got much more. You find interesting people to interact with in Chinese and Japanese. Although it would be hard to get together, I'd like to see an update video on some of the interesting guests you had in your videos. Let's be honest I watch a video of you walking through a residential area videoing peoples drying laundry. Hope your Christmas was excellent and have a New Year Celebration for a better 2021. You're making the most of the hand you were dealt. I'm happy you take us along.

  24985. 19:48 I can confirm. I live in Cambodia and locals are blown away that I know the numbers and words for food and simple directions. I probably know between 100 and 200 words but even if I say "thank you" in Khmer they're flabbergasted.

  24990. You're right, OP. They're wrong, overly sensitive, and silly. Keep doing what you're doing. You ARE inspiring people to learn in an era when it's becoming easier to do so. That can only help humanity.

  24991. You're all cute. I'm not subbed. But I might now I've seen partially naked Tommy. 😂😂

  24997. This is so freaking exciting!

  24998. The most amazing thing to me is that when you instantly switching from Chinese to Japanese and vice versa.. wait till you can switch Chinese, Japanese, and Korean instantly. That's superb!

  24999. I enjoy that you have a huge midwestern accent. Almost like a yooper. It's endearing.

  25004. 你好，Oriental给你提一点小建议。一般普通人/陌生人之间不经常用死这个词。对我们来说有点太strong了，听起来让你觉得不舒服。当然你是外国人，大家不会怎么介意，但是你的中文已经说的很好了，所以我提出了这个细节希望可以帮你改进。比如你刚才跟四川大姐说话的时候如果说你不会扎到手吧，要比不会刺死吧让人感觉舒服的多。10分钟应该不会弄死我把，改成10分钟应该没事吧。死这个词要慎重用，尤其是前面跟其他动词搭配的时候。因为会让人有“故意弄死”的意思。

  25005. Hi Anming, I'm learning Spanish through a technique called Comprehensible Input. Have you heard of it? It's a system where you learn a target language by acquiring it through lots of story-telling and gestures. This system allows you to naturally acquire language rather than consciously learning it. Correct grammar is not important until you acquire the language fluently. It's supposed to mimic the way a child learns his/her native language.

  25019. Interesting! Thanks for sharing! I noticed you've used the women-only train carriage - is it really that bad in Tokyo or was it more of a precaution? What's your personal opinion/experience on harassment on public transport in tokyo??

  25020. 7:00 Ha, caught you. You don't speak English. You speak American. Proper English is that one stands in a queue, not a line, lol

  25021. Crazy, you look like you be a sibling of a frankonian friend of mine. From the north of Bavaria. There are so many lookalikes in that part of the world, your family definitely is part German. I really love to watch the natural style you connect to people. Motivates me to talk to people that way.

  25022. More videos please. Thank you again.

  25023. Same for my country too, when we are listening we say (e, e, io.) just so that the other person knows we are listening

  25024. Nice in-laws 🙏 🙏 The food looks lush 😋😋

  25025. People these days are so used to watching videos for nearly any subject, that they form an opinion very quickly. What comes across in many language clips, is that these people are, in fact showing off. It's clear their identity is based on this showmanship and that they enjoy feeling better than others. (not this channel).

  25026. Congratulations on the new place! I think you guys will be able to make the space your own.

  25035. The only word you need to learn in Japan: ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    1
  25036. 3:58 Koreans say "한국어 잘 하시네요~~~" in a similar way. It is just a general compliment to give to foreigners when you try to speak their language. The Korean thing to do would be to refuse the compliment to feign humility. I usually say "잘 하기는요. 오래 살아서 조금 배울수 밖에 없었어요." (Not really, I have lived here for a long time so I couldn't help but learn a little bit.)
    1
  25037. My god I've been studying Chinese for 7 years, just now studying for HSK 5 and can't really speak complicated sentences with correct sentence structure. I'm motivated and feel like a loser all at the same time. Very confusing feelings.

No one can talk like a native unless you have been in a culture for years an years...I belive after watching you two and Xiaomanyc and a few others for a number of years now that you have never claimed to be perfect in every language ..but you's have shown that it is possible if you put the effort in to talk and make your self's under stood to who ever you meet from round the world and in one or two languages yous have shown how close to a native speaker you can be ... that in its self is worth celibraiting ....the worst people for learning a foreign language as far as I can see are my fellow English men no matter where they go they expect every one to speak English ....so ignore the negative comments and all of you's keep the vids coming ..

  25047. I love that you made this video. I personally like all your videos. I especially love the ones with you just having conversations. I don't care about that shock and aww factor. I think you're incredible and speak both Japanese and Chinese very very well. Kudos to you

  25050. In my country (Canada) the personnel on various national media platforms consistently speak or write English (I can't comment on French) incorrectly. Lay people also fail to speak and write correctly. I suspect that's also the norm for other countries and languages. Ergo, it's pointless to flog people about their failures in speaking languages which are not their native tongue. Everyone misspeaks. All the time. If these videos are not to your taste, it's better to watch something else. For me, the oeuvre is a bit like a one note samba. Interesting but not a sustainable form of joy over any length of time. However, trolls harping on it are always tedious.

  25055. Yes, Japanese and also Chinese tend to pull their wallets faster than Clint Eastwood his gun. Probably it's a way to show you that they appreciate your companionship. If you want to show the same, you must see the cashier in advance or have the cash ready. Don't check the bill first, you must have the banknotes ready in advance. If you wait to see the actual amount to pay your Asian friend will pull his wallet faster than you can say はい！I assume they have special Samurai trainings at school in which they practice to invite you and keep you away from the receipt. Clint Eastwood is not Asian so you may have a chance if you are well prepared. 🥷🏼 You must have the will of a 🦁 and the speed of a 🐍 Good luck 😂 By the way, if the cashier is a vending machine, position yourself and hold the banknotes ready.

  25073. Ah, another great video. Thank you, Pearl. And remember, those people you come in contact with as you film, they, too, are just as much your audience; their fascination with your ability to speak not just Chinese but Japanese too, will be inspiration to them to study. Encourage them to do so, in the context, of course, that they can do so. (Oh, and you passed right on by Spider Man (opening of the video), who could have webbed you some killer catches, saving you from having to do all the shopping!! Hey, thanks again!)

  25075. Ok, well it’s obvious that you’d be better off knowing the language of whatever country you’re visiting, but how practical is the advice if I’m visiting several countries a year as a tourist for the next few years ?

  25078. I really have to compliment you on this video. It kept me entertained all the way through and was educational as well. I especially like how you explain a certain phenomenon and then shows us exactly what you're referring to. Your interactions with the locals are really sweet and often your videos tend to shed a different light on how it really is living abroad in asia. I've seen quite a few youtubers and either it's been glorified or just poorly portrayed, but you definitely manage to pull through. Kudos for your hard work😁 also, when you're allowed back into china, are you planning to make similar videos? I'd really appreciate it if you did! I really want to know how it is to live in china, especially as a foreigner

The other person i am inspired by peter Christopher Nelson he could speak write and read 33 languages fluently check him. I always adore your videos and congrats to you had your husband and his nice his nice family. Keep making videos of people experience being half Japanese i even wrote a poem about being half Japanese or half other ethnic group of people.

  25101. As per the wikipedia page, Katie can retain both American and Japanese Citizenship. At the declaration made by age 22, declare intent to keep Japanese citizenship, and lose American citizenship. That declaration has no effect as far as the US government is concerned, since to actually lose American citizenship, there is a formal process to go through, on US soil/embassy. Afterwards, Katie will be Japanese as far as Japan is concerned, and American as far as America is concerned (and will still need to use an American passport to enter the US). The one potential downside to retaining US citizenship: it will be necessary to file a yearly tax return (and potentially pay taxes to the US), no matter where the income or the country of residence. To get around this, a formal renunciation of citizenship at a US Embassy will be required.

  25102. I'm here in japan about 10 months & kinda completed n3 level...but u r sooo damn good in japanese & chinese at the same time, i can speak hindi & english (a lil bit though) & bangla besides japanese but u r amazing...... I can't believe.... I'm just nothing beside u & i'm not a modest person like u r...not at all...u being so modest in here like japanese folks but i'm not....i tell people what i can do & what i can not straight forward...but modesty has it's own charm...but overdoing this could be feel kinda fake & sloppy....i can not describe it clearly but u r great in both in chinese & japanese...i wonder if u can speak spanish or Portuguese or something else i'm not gonna surprise at this moment...😆😆 But from now on i'm gonna study hard & i'm also gonna learn more languages after completing japanese language coarse.... U R AMAZING (please don't say mada mada desu.😋)(by the way ur pronunciation in both languages r awesome)😊

  25105. I typically don't comment on youtube videos but I saw you were getting frustrated in the comments. I joined your channel a couple of weeks ago, I imagine when many others did as a video of yours must have hit the algorithm for people who watch videos of polyglots. When I first watched your video I was so incredibly impressed in your fluency of Japanese and Chinese, unlike other polyglots who might know some stock sentences for the 'wow factor', and thus decided to follow your journey. It's that reason why I understand it's incredibly frustrating when you see growth in your channel, intentionally or not, from videos you feel were perhaps 'low effort' or 'easy views' and then don't see the same with the videos you felt you put a bit more of your heart into. This is incredibly common among, I would say all youtubers, who are looking to really break into the youtube world and use it as a tool for themselves. The only advice I can offer is perhaps alter your frame of thinking. Views, Likes, subscribers should all, in my opinion, be an after thought to your creative process (making videos). If you make things you want to make, you'll garner the audience that you will eventually want to keep. If you want to make videos for views, this is entirely sensible as it will provide the growth you're looking for, but you must understand you'll get the fair-weather fans with it. I enjoyed this video, and your other videos as well. I hope you do continue to create.

  25113. Anming, Fantastic! I loved that back and forth instant language switch you were doing...Chinese and Japanese. That was fun! I'm English speaking only. So, it's like watching a foreign film, with the closed captions. You balance nicely with English and a pinch of Korean. Simply well done! Imagine having a fine wine. Cheers! Hmmm Your name sounds great if a brand of wine? Just a thought. I would just love to see it... Anming Plum Wine -- A Japanese and American tradition.

  25115. The guy you were talking to said something great. We should all learn Chinese to learn about their beautiful culture. I live in Vancouver Canada. I have a job in sales. We have a huge Chinese culture and I deal with many. Many insist on taking me out for lunch for dim sum. One guy always wants me to try duck tongue!! I have learned so much about their culture. I often reference videos like this to further discuss their culture.

  25131. You’re the second person I’ve heard say Yankee comes from the civil war. Yankee Doodle came from the Revolutionary War and was used as an insult to the colonists. But Yankee was being used as a derogatory term against colonists by British Royal Army leading up to the Revolution, too.

  25135. I watched the whole video. The tittle was a bit scary, like a preparation to war, but the feeling i got instead was just listening to two people speaking their mind of, it was so chill that I can almost call this atmosphere very positive ?lol?. You are involved in language learning community if you do not speak your mind out there, it will haut you and the negative energy will build up. I hope people will realise not everything comes easy to us, and they will be able to avoid being scammed, controlled or whatever. Do not follow people blindly look for your own way.

  25144. There were a lot of good tips & some I do know but somehow, you gave a new fresh relook into them. As for #13 - Int'l Dating, sometimes it won't work. I was with my Thai xgf for 5 years & realized I learnt more Thai when I'm interacting with my Thai coworkers & also the shopkeepers in my daily life, to order food or buying things. When I'm with her, the main objective is to communicate & they might not be patient enough to wait for you to practise the language. It's the same with my Japanese wife now where (like the Thai xgf), the biggest advantage is having a ready source of cultural insights, but not the language learning. As I was a teacher, their English improved tremendously cos I was patient enough to teach them extra stuff in English. Maybe if they were a little more patient, I might be able to learn more. Finally, your #15 Word Databases for both languages are Impressive. It just goes to show there are no shortcuts in learning languages & your level of fluency is a testament to the "you are what you reap" axiom. Thanks again for a very useful video. 🙇 😀

  25146. Pretty impressive just going up to a stranger like that, I didn't think it was possible here in Japan. You have a lot of confidence in your Japanese ability, that's the difference I guess. I always get a kick out the various reactions, complete panic to perfectly calm. For some reason a lot of older men are always talking to me. Asking how tall I am. :) Sometimes I'm tempted to answer 150cm. :)

  25160. Wow.. this video goes over things I have been thinking for SO long about these "polyglot" videos.. usually and especially the Japanese can be extremely bad. Not knocking on them for trying, but when they claim fluency it's just. AGH. Usually they just memorize a few lines (name, where they learned, where are you from, I am from, etc.)

  25185. I'm not surprised - don't see why anyone who is a realist would be. EVERY major city on earth has its areas the locals all know are no-go zones. If the population is in the millions, you can absolutely bet on that. Japan has this image of being sparkling and devoid of the undesirable elements that come with other major cities but that's a statistical impossibility short of a functionally perfect, flawless society, which does not exist. It's no different in China - I've been to areas where there are mountains of trash lining the streets, which is NOT what the typical tourist to Shanghai or Beijing sees. I live in Sweden right now and there's also this Scandinavian image where nobody is homeless but today we passed several of them after my wife commenting for months how there aren't any - there's no exception to this in ANY major city. You just have to know where to look.

  25196. Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. The production values on these videos are superb 👌 . I'm not worried about part 2. Something tells me the in-laws will get on swimmingly. 🤞👍😄

  25197. She has no problem keeping both us and japense citizenship. Once she is 22 she should pick Japanese citizen. The j gov will request her to renounce her us citizenship but that’s about it. It is a request but not enforcement. Good example is the incident when ex Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori took refuge in Japan (you can google what he did). The Japanese government protected him from expedited back to Peru because of his Japanese citizenship. So on the surface, the J gov won’t allow dual citizenship (tatemae) but in reality they don’t care (honne).

  25223. This is valuable info ! Thank you. Also, Matt has such incredible eyelashes :D But seriously I've been wanting to learn Japanese and it feels very difficult. I only know a dozen words, and unable to make a sentence. How long did it take Matt to self-teach to that level (that sounds indeed so fluent) without being into a immersion context ?

  25224. For suspicious links, you can always right click/copy link address and paste it into a text editor to give it a once over. Skritter is basically just an app to practice drawing 漢字 on your phone. It's pretty cool if you want to learn to write 漢字, but if you haven't used it, then I totally understand not promoting it. I tried it for a bit, but ultimately decided that writing (as opposed to speaking, listening, and reading) is not super important to me right now.

  25229. Im slowly starting to learn Chinese and these vids are awesome! You sound more native than the natives 😂 What you could maybe also do is in the beginning speak English to them and use words they may not understand and then boom 💥 buss out your Mandarin when they least expect it🤘🏾

  25230. Every blessing to you two!

  25231. I think people in some countries, especially in less open countries (e.g. Cambodia, Myanmar) might be impressed if someone even utter 1-2 local words. It might be that they are more impressed that a foreigner is willing to take that little step to be "open-minded" enough to want to learn either a difficult or not-so-common language. I think the same would apply if maybe an Asian traveler is in some small & obscure Flemish village & is able to speak conversational Flemish, the locals will be impressed too & wondered how he had acquired his fluency. Nobody in Tokyo or maybe Beijing would bat an eyelid if a Caucasian-looking foreigner says "Konnichiwa/Nihao" or "Arigato/Xiexie" cos these are the big cosmopolitan cities & there are many people/travelers from everywhere. ;)

  25240. Finally some light has been shed. I come from a multilingual background and i can say that I'm only fluent /native in English. I can speak 5 other languages but they do range from basic to intermediate and only know writing in 2 to 3 of them. And it does take years to learn as I usually go for the all round approach from reading, writing and speaking. A lot of times the 'polyglots' seem to be good at and learn quickly in speaking only, but it takes years to master a language. And I now see that its mostly great editing.

  25241. "reaping the benefits" sounds really good.

  25242. Wow! You two looked amazing, and of course your dress was out of this world!!

  25243. I found your Japan video very interesting because I saw my old myself in your videos. When I came to Okinawa in 2016 with the Marines, there was rarely a Chinese person around on my base. I met one Chinese Marine at work in the first nine months I was there. I remember that I would spend weeks without saying a single Chinese word and started dreaming in Chinese. It was so stressful to work in an unfamiliar environment as a new joint, not to mention I was using my second language to talk to people 24/7. I got so desperate sometimes and just took a bus to Naha and walked around on the streets just to listen to the Chinese tourists talking. I then was transferred to Shizuoka to work in 2017, and that was when I got a chance to go to Yokohama and Yokosuka to find those Chinese immigrants living there. I never knew there's a Chinese community in Tokyo, but I went to Yokohama Chinatown a couple of times. Eventually, I found some Chinese immigrants living in Okinawa in 2018, and I saw more and more Chinese joining the US Marine Corps. Good times.

  25250. 🤣Well, I am NE Indian, and I dont look like Indian at all. so while in Japan, everyone thought I was Japanese with my fluency in the language. then when I told my co-workers and some friends that I wasnt Japanese at all. they were like stop playing, how are you not Japanaese. You speak with an Accent. (my roommates were from Osaka and Okinawa. they had pretty thick Accents. So I just kinda copied alittle of them) 🤣 People thought I was Japanese enough that bouncers at Japanese only clubs didnt check my IDs. People are wild in those places

  25265. Here's an idea.... don't watch it if you don't like. I'm not sure why I should care that someone is triggered by someone else's ability to speak more than one language. I think it's incredible. The others opinions are just that,... opinions, which are like assholes... everybody has one.

I need to be doing a lot more to hold a decent conversation beyond just exchanging courtesies, introducing myself, asking for directions, ordering something, stuff like that. I'm pretty solid with what I do know, but that just isn't enough by far.

  25308. Hey Anming, I'm a Chinese guy who has been to Japan and USA. I just want to point out that I enjoy watching videos from both you and JJ's channel. It is just the Youtube that is not putting your recent vids up to my " recommended " page lately,so I have been missing out... lol For the future, when we can travel again, I think it would be great if you make video back from US and introduce some american culture to your Chinese audience in Chinese. I think that is the way to bring back some of the Chinese audiences. Just my idea...

  25322. I would say for me, moving to Japan and studying there, DO NOT STUDY JAPANESE AT UNIVERSITY they only care about getting homework’s and tests completed. HOWEVER I loved moving abroad and studying everything else it felt free and challenging. I’d say you can study a language yourself honestly but if your trying to study other things then GO! Don’t be afraid because there’s SOO many students doing the same. Haha I go to Sophia so we always had parties with Waseda students before Covid

  25340. I love this take on learning another language and making people smile -- take baby steps. You can just search YouTube for "How to say X in LANGUAGE". While I'm no polyglot, I do teach my daughters how to say "hello" and "thank you" in whatever language is used by the restaurant or service staff. My 2 year old girl freaked out the owner when she busted out "kum sah ham nida" at Korean BBQ and we were rewarded with some off-menu banchan. It makes them smile. Same at dimsum (Mandarin), same at the nail salon (Vietnamese), same at sushi (Japanese), same at the dry cleaner (Korean). If making someone smile doesn't do it for you, do it for the favorite customer discounts and free stuff! She's six now and has 7 languages with simple phrases.

  25371. Her demeanor and mannerisms are very japanese. Can someone tell me if it’s considered common to make small talks like this in japan? Or is it because she is caucasian that people oblige?

  25373. I love all of your videos, especially the homeless one. Just want to let you know that some of us cannot like your videos because I use that section for my music, boo hoo. But truthfully, I love all your videos, especially your husband’s only fans…hee hee. J.k.

  25378. Congratulations!!! I wish you both happiness, success and good health in your new lives together. I’m not good with learning new languages but always found your videos informative as well as entertaining. At least I can see the real Japan through your experiences because as much as I would love to see it for myself one day I know that would be nearly impossible the way things are for me now. Any who …. Best wishes to you both 🙏

  25383. Havent found any food yet that I dont like! Another one that really isnt popular with foreigners is(even not with japanese!) 鮒寿司「ふなずし」its a type of fermented fish, quite an acquired taste. Love natto! Also raw eggs in my rice! Pretty good stuff. Another thing thats on my bucket-list to try to eat is real stinky tofu, but I am pretty sure you cant buy the real stuff in Japan and have to go to China for that. Keep trying is a good thing!

  25384. Pearl, it appears that you travelled to the hotel by train, but the map does not show a railway near-by. Did the hotel pick you up at a station?
    1
  25385. its because the Chinese people doesn't want to have their clothes washed and dried in the same machine used by other strangers.

  25389. Seeing your suitcase at 7:04 like "Gosh I wish that were me..." There are more reasons than just this, but one of the reasons I want to learn Japanese is to read novels (particularly light novels). I come across so many novels that look really interesting and sometimes there are fan-translations and sometimes there are no translations at all. Even if there are fan-translations though, I most of the time don't want to start reading them especially when I see that the last updates were years ago. There are also novels that are officially translated in English but when I read them, sometimes things seem a bit odd/awkward and I wonder how much is lost in translation (all that goes into translating a book must be hard though, so props to translators 🙌). I just really want to get the exact words and expressions the author meant to convey(?) in their story. Sometimes when I'm feeling unmotivated/discouraged in Japanese, I look at content I wish I could understand and I get fired up again hahahaha Sorry for the long comment and thank you for this video! You give such great energy! xD

  25392. Lisa is beautiful... I'm disabled too, but I was born healthy. I fell ill when I was 26, transverse myelitis, I was lucky ( I can walk), but I still can't run nor ride a bicycle... maybe it's just a lack of proper care, I have to work and I don't have time for kinesitherapy.

  25393. I'm loving your video's and your Chinese is good to me, even tho I can't speak Mandarin, but I can tell by your tones you have the language down packed and I will support you.

  25394. Passive aggression hurts INFINITELY more than if the same person screamed in your face. “Breaking the harmony” is bullshit.

  25404. Hey pearl since you are already there. Can you recommend 1 week plan for Japan? I want to travel there when everything is back to normal, google has been helpful but too many tourist options I would like something less tourist focused.

  25405. Your videos always make me miss Japan so much. I haven't been back in 20 years but your videos always make me feel like it was just yesterday and then I get hit hard with the nostalgia. :)

  25435. It's a shame that people with disabilities struggle getting jobs in Japan. In the UK people with disability have many rights especially when it comes to employment. For example one of my colleagues does not have use of one of his hands, and it negatively effects his productivity. But all this means is that he doesn't have the same stats to adhere to as other employees, because it would not be reasonable. He is still a great employee and the productivity he loses in having only one hand, he makes up for in other areas too. Our employer gives him opportunities to shine often, and understand his worth in the long term and in multiple roles.
    1
  25436. Solid dedication, replying to almost every comment. Fair play to you. I do have a question, assuming you spend more time on videos than you used to, have you gone down to part time in your job to make space in your day to create content? I imagine a full time (35+ hrs) job PLUS content creation would mean work is basically life!

  25437. I love this. Languages are human’s superpower.

  25440. You just inspired me to learn Japanese with how you speak Japanese soo perfectly and the beautiful scenes of Japan where we can't find in our country.I'm lazy at learning.But I do not know how to learn a language in easy ways beacause I'm not good at my native language like I do not know how to speak fluently like a native of my country.😅

  25441. The man at the 屋台 He was trying to explaining that we say words like 擬音語 and 擬態語 that is two sounds repeating like キラキラ etc so maybe that’s why we say バイバイ.

  25447. In America Yankee actually can be used in a negative way. There are many southerners (Rebels) who are not still fond of people from the north (Yankees/Yanks). It isn't super common but still very much exists unfortunately. Also I have heard people from the UK call Americans Yankees sometimes, not in a negative way... and when they refer to us in a negative way they usually use the term Yanks.

  25448. I need that trift store in my life such nice things in it. I will never look at a Goodwill the same again lol

  25450. You got all this right cause you fluently speak Chinese and Japanese and the topic is great and whenever a see some one trying to speak more that’s 4 languages but they don’t have a long conversation the only say an intro in each language that’s not polyglots I just stop the video and don’t watch anymore

  25471. The hardest part is to learn using effective methods so don't waste our time.
    1
  25472. I work more hours in Mexico (48-50 per week) and I make less money as an engineer than a dishwasher in America. So I'd be happy to work in Japan... And I could also teach Spanish.
    1
  25473. I visited Japan a few years ago for 2 weeks. It wasn't long enough. The food was always presented so beautifully, the people so kind and gracious, lovely landscape and interesting culture and traditions. So happy I was able to go. Best wishes for a long, happy lifetime together. You make an adorable couple! I think your in-laws love you.

  25479. Hi! I love your videos! One question - How do you stay motivated to learn all these languages?
    1
  25480. Where did you guys meet your boyfriend it’s funny that you’re speaking different language and he speaks a little English in your videos it’s like reversed
    1
  25481. If I was given the opportunity to live in Japan for the next 20 years, there's no hesitation, I'll definitely take the chance! I wholeheartedly support you Aming & Jessica loving Japanese culture & lifestyle. There's no rule or law which states you can't have two homes & I absolutely support you'll in all your endeavours! Continue showing your strength against adversity. 💕🇹🇹

  25487. When I visited Japan in 2017, I saw socks with sandals and was very VERY confused. ... I still bought some though. Some really nice socks! The woman I was hanging out with who lives there was also confused, but said they just like showing off their socks. More power to them. lol I was also thrown off by their tiny, by American standard, drink sizes. I was drinking Monster Energy at the time, but I manages to find joy in the small can size I found at the Lawsons that was near my ryokan.

  25488. Congratulations!!!

  25489. At an Amish store....two young girls behind the register....talking about this cute boy in the shop...as they were taking my order I spoke to them in German.....they both blushed adorably.

  25491. I found you 40 mins ago from nowhere. I am a hungarian who speaks English (in B2 level i think), still can speak German what I didnt forgot yet :D, I plan to learn Spanish and my long time goal know a basic Japanish but only the spoken one. You got a new subscriber. :D
    1
  25492. Studying abroad is awesome! I'm from the USA, and did some of my university in Paris, France. It was beautiful! At first I was scared, but I've since adopted the life philosophic of "If you're afraid to do something, then go ahead and do it because afterwards you'll no longer be afraid of it." Within the next two years, I'll be studying abroad again. This time in Mexico!
    1
  25493. Great vedio!But the room is so small even for chinese😱How do an American live in such a room
    1
  25494. Ehhhh I like both languages quite a bit. And I just watch a lot of polyglots. Most r rlly good in Chinese. I think as an American, Chinese becomes a very acknowledged part of our culture. Since we have china towns and lots of Chinese food near SF. My friend and I love Mongolian bbq. Also as a person who loves fantasy, both languages offer you a lot of anime, and Chinese has lots of fighting movies!!! But I do want to travel to Japan after I finish my math bachelors. So who knows haha.

  25495. That's something you have to proud of 😂

  25496. I speak english, dutch, german, portuguese, and im learning mandarin right now...i really enjoy it

  25497. How strange to see yamanote trains so empty. It's quite... serene... I hope Japan opens up soon. I hope they resume visa processes for us who want to come. (although my country is on the banned list right now)
    1
  25498. Japan can't oblige people to stay home. Japanese constitution doesn't allow it. government can only close school. I enjoy running, going cafe as usual.
    1
  25499. Nice to see people start talking to you, instead of you having to start the conversation. Why would it be a problem being recognised I wonder? Isn't that a plus? 😁
    1
  25500. I always found it strange when youtubers did reacts to language videos. I come across a lot of non-native english speakers and I've not been surprised that they can speak english, and in the videos on youtube I see non-native english speakers being surprised that someone is speaking their native language. I just don't get how they can learn english yet still be surprised by others. The only thing I can think of is the accent these youtubers have picked up to mask their original native tongue takes people by surprise, rather than the act of speaking their native language.
    1
  25501. 2:50 I didn't know that it gives these kind of roof also in Japan. In Germany we call it "Reetdach" and it is also so beautiful as this one in Shirakawa. Such an amazing place I'll travel to Shirakawa, next time I'm in Japan. 🤩 6:09 It feels like our last vacation to japan 🙈 my boyfriend and his brother are over 1,95m tall, so sometimes this really happened to them in the accommodations we've stayed in. They remeber it painfully.

  25505. Hey i have a question...😁 Why the first lady didn't say: 你会说中文吗 0:49 Instead she said something with 中国"hua" at the end.. I'm still learning and i would appreciate it if someone knows 😁
    1
  25506. Love Japan. The lady knows no fat people. Amazing. When I was child growing up in Australia there was almost no fat people. Now 50% of the population eat far too much and do not exercise. I stay fit also and none of my family is fat, but it still was amazing to hear the musician say she did not know ANY fat people. Well done Japan.

  25515. Great video! I have been living in Japan for more than 2 years now and I work in Japanese (around N3 level now) and English (English is not my mothertongue but I speak it fluently to some extent) but in a place where I don't need a high level of the language. I came to Japan with 150h of Japanese study and an N5 from 10 years ago. So obviously, my Japanese is VERY BAD. However, we have a lot of foreigners coming to my workplace and they comment about me that I'm fluent in Japanese or that I'm bilingual! To which I reply that I do NOT speak Japanese. They think that because they don't speak the language at all or they speak it even worse than me. And regarding the people in YouTube saying how they are fluent within 3 months... It makes a lot of people feel like crap about their learning capacities!

  25521. Hardest language hands down is Faroese. Since one word can be so many things and it's different in sounds in the alphabet and letters and hard to study it if it's not in the islands itself.I leaned the basics but still cant write it. Plus it's not a language you can learn online or with books since most of that its attainable in Faroe islands only.

  25522. nice. great culture video... and the music was awesome...

  25524. 日本語上手!😊 I've studied Japanese for three years and I just started studying mandarin, I hope to be at your level!😀

  25525. When foreigners speak fluently japanese, Japanese people are confused and answer you with a "No Engirishu".. If you're a hafu born in Japan, you're treated like a foreigner, with some bullying on top of it

  25526. That dry smile on my face as someone who has Chinese heritage but can't speak Mandarin at all when I see a Caucasian speak fluent Mandarin.

  25543. Hi again! What is your opinion on pimsleur? It claims you can reach an intermediate level within 30 days. Im genuniley wanting to try it - do you recommend it and is it a good tool? Obviously I know I won't become fluent but I want to be able to hold a good conversation. Have u used it personally? If you say yes then I'm gonna try it lol for both japanese and Chinese. Edit: I've tried japanesepod101 and I just don't find the app effective on my phone and I end up getting discouraged. Every app I use i end up getting discouraged half way in.

  25545. Cute little guy ... and ..... Fast for a six year old. 🤪 I didn't quite understand why it should be a problem having the little guy along, but on the other hand I am sure one can find people all over that will find a problem where one doesn't exsit.

  25547. Haha let me guess. Is it a 30 minute long video?😂🤣I loved that you starting 2 premiere your adventure further but would be sweet if you try stretching the video around 30 plus minute. I have seen a lot of premiere which on average ranging 30-60 minute long which is just nice 2 finish my jumbo🍿🍿.

  25550. Helping you on your way to your 1 mil sub wish. I lived for 12 yrs in seattle and it does not really rain that much. In fact, for three years there was a severe drought. And it does snow there too. The first of the winter snow is heavy and wet. But after that it is more crystally, what some call a "dry snow". And have to watch out for the black ice in the I-5 "S" curve close to renton.

  25551. I believe your channel came up because I watched quite a few of Xiaomanyc videos shocking NYC Chinatown shops with his language skills. You are funny, interesting, and cute. You also keep up a fast pace in your videos. I've watched sub'd Japanese TV for quite a few years along with any good new season anime. I seem to enjoy the style of Japanese story telling, its difficult to explain, but they approach subjects from an odd angle. Often the cultural differences make some stories seem absurd to an American, but that's ok. I like the sound of spoken Japanese, and can understand much and the emotion underlying how things are said. However, I don't particularly like spoken Chinese. To my ears its like German, harsh sounding, tongue twisting, unnatural noises. The only China youtubers I regularly watched have left, more like escaped, with their families. The Japanese youtube community is a very fun crowd, you'll fit right in, Chris, Simon/Martina, Rachel/Jun, and many more, even the curmudgeon Victor at Gimmeabreakman.

  25569. I worked in a computer lab with about 50% Vietnamese techs. One day, a lady brought back a magnifying lamp and asked if we needed one for our area. I told her no, as we had one at every station. She came back with another Vietnamese tech and the lamp and was going to have him attach it to a spare table. He started to mount the lamp on the front edge of the table and she stopped him, said something in Vietnamese to him and motioned toward the side, so I "agreed" and said, "yeah, if you put it on the front people will bump into it, you should put it on the side." They both looked at me with eyes-wide and she responds with an astounded, "oh, you speak my language..." and the look of, 'I've been caught talking about him all these years'. I just smiled and went back to work and let them believe

  25586. Michigander here as well (Bay City, originally), this is when the YT algorithm is GREAT! I've been on the cusp of wanting to be bilingual for some time now, and this video confirmed that I must. By only speaking English, I too, in fact, AM in the matrix. 😫 ...I don't wanna be in the matrix anymore!!! Thank you, @OrientalPearl for your incredible gift you give to the world...from the other side of the world! ✨✨☺️🙏✨✨

  25592. I know bunch of people who know one or two foreign languages and they know them really well. However, all of them have spent years learning those foreign languages. Also, I have never met anybody who knows 5 or more foreign languages (except for my grandpa who grew up in a city where 3 languages were spoken and later he learned 2 more in school). I am always sceptical when someone who is like 24 claims he/she speaks 10, 20, 40 languages. I am not saying it is impossible but damn, that's a hell of a claim.
    1
  25593. Your pronunciation of Japanese has actually got a lot better in the past year or two :D

  25594. You answered "yakuza?" This is a very novel answer, and it was interesting.It was funny and my abdominal muscles collapsed.Then the person at the bus stop is probably a disabled person, and he has no malicious intent.
    1
  25595. I just came across your channel, I've been watching so many videos of Americans who surprise Chinese people by speaking Chinese, and those videos along with your videos are truly inspiring me to learn chinese! I love your channel already and look forward to watching as it grows!

  25601. Just wondering, what do you use to record audio? Cause even though you film outside, it’s always super clear!! (I really enjoy all your videos by the way, they’re always interesting and engaging)

  25602. After watching this I subscribed HAHAHAHA I see a good and interesting stuff here and I want to work and live in Japan too.

  25603.  @OrientalPearl  yes i was raised in pontiac. My family is all still in oakland county, except my mom, who is a bit north. I left a long time ago, but for some crazy reason, michigan never leaves you. I lived abroad for 8 years, in central america, where i learned to speak spanish. But have been traveling a lot to s.e. asia, wich i love. Im really considering moving to philippines, from vegas. Love your videos, great job. Ill be sure to give a thumbs up. Good luck Marko

  25604. Hi can you tell me where this was filmed, at least first part of the video? It’s gorgeous
    1
  25605. They really enjoyed having you interact with them during their local game spinning mini tops. At 1:15 why did the girl put her hand out to you as if it was a microphone? What did that gesture mean? Also, she poised for a long time before asking you her first question "Why did you come to Japan.?" She thought hard of what to say and how to say it. She was trying to figure you out. What did she say at 3:23?
    1
  25606. In Japan I rarely get compliments for Japanese. And actually, when my wife is with me, who is Japanese, and i am the one taking the order, or asking staff about something. they do respond, but they only make eye contact with my wife and respond to her, who hasn't even said a word. There are many Japanese who are super good at not acknowledging your very existence. i pay at the register, change is handed back to wife... anyone else experience this?

  25607. Congratulations on your new home! It is very nice and it gets a lot of natural light, which is one of my most important criteria when choosing a new apartment, it's perfect for you!🤩

  25609. I wish you strength with your family. This is an interesting video with beautiful pictures. Thank you.

  25610. I'm subscribed and I watch your videos until the end all the time. To be honest, I'm intimidated sometimes by just how incredibly successful you are. I assure you it's respect. I have many connections to Japan, have been there several times, have had a Japanese friend for 40 years, but I have been unable to make any respectable progress with the language besides learning hiragana katakana and some kanji about 600 of the joyo. I get discouraged too, but you are amazing. I could only dream of accomplishing what you have. Keep your head up. I'm in awe of you. You're a hero.

  25611. Happy one year anniversary! P.S. : I just saw you have blue eyes! ^.^

  25612. Oriental Pearl I follow Teal Swan who almost a week ago posted on her IG: “Anyone feel like life is being written by a 4th grader right now? And there was this virus 🦠 and everyone was scared. And then the world ran out of toilet paper 🧻 yeah, and then there was no school for like a month, and then it snowed!” Lol!

  25614. How I wish I could speak Japanese. Please show us the konoha next time
    1
  25615. Honestly people are more receptive to you in Japan if you speak Japanese. I learn Japanese outside of Japan and went there interacting with locals and first thing I noticed is most Japanese find it fun to talk with foreigner and learn how it is like overseas. They are legitimately curious but most are shy if you don't speak Japanese. It was like a peak into each other culture. I'm definitely impressed with younger students speaking great English in yokohama, that was a lifesaver for my half baked Japanese as well. Lol I went to Korea, I mean it was fun, but the language barrier was kinda limiting the experience.

  25630. One thing I did noticed was that pumpkins didn't seem to play a dominate theme in the festivities. Were they present and the camera just simply didn't pan on them or is that more of an American Halloween icon?

  25636. I have a couple of YouTube accounts and I know I’m subscribed through one, but I realized YouTube recommends your channel more on this one, where I just realized I’m not subscribed. I am as of just now, but that’s so weird!

  25637. This is so fun to watch, I am proud of being a polyglot, Oh would like to extend to asian languages but I find it difficult to learn them while not living in a country where is spoken.

  25646. You are so correct. I have watched videos stating that you can learn Spanish in one week. I have been speaking it almost exclusively for 58 years, living in Spanish-speaking countries and married into a Spanish family. It took me many many years to become fluent. Only one who is fluent in a language can determine if the other person really speaks it.

  25648. I had no idea you were from Phoenix! I'm also from Phoenix and I recently discovered your channel lately. Your positive attitude is contagious. I'm hoping to work in Japan in September, but I'm anxiously waiting to see how this coronavirus situation ends up.

  25654. Thanks for showing this! Very very neat! It was good to see how welcoming the parents are and the fact that they took you to church was a bonus. Thanks for showing part of the mass, though it was in a different language I can tell which part it was at. Very interesting to see. Very nice and wishing you both an abundance of blessings for your wedding! Looking forward to the video of it!

  25659. See, by default, you grow up expecting certain people to speak a certain way, and then your brain completely short circuits when an exception to the “rule” appears. Older people would likely have seen plenty of multilingual people in their lifetime, but young people may not necessarily have that experience yet. Ever seen someone of East Asian descent speak fluent Spanish when you first meet them? There’s no way you won’t get tripped up the first time, lmao.

  25662. Whoever she was, she was fairly good at it. "Accidentally" getting caught in the elevator so you focused on that instead of why she was leaving already. Walking out in front of you so you didn't feel followed. Guarantee she was still there a ways away while you continued filming. Probably Japanese gov thinks you might be a Chinese spy.

  25669. 3:06 I really like this video and the kind interactions but upon noticing this video was uploaded on 3.4.2020, it's sad to see Asian people wearing face masks in the background considering coronavirus is worldwide news these days.

  25671. How old were you when you start learning Japanese and Chinese? And how old are you now?

  25672. There is one guy who purports to know not just languages buy the various dialects within those languages. Watch a few of his vlogs where he speaks to some tribe half way up the Amazon, he uses the same words. His vocabulary rarely goes beyond a dozen key words. When his vlogs are a little longer they look as if they have been edited and his pronunciation, compared to yourself for instant, is a little slurred, lots of word repeats, etc. I much prefer yourself or Blondie in China. Keep up the good work.

  25673. That's so funny. You are just too cool Russian girl 😄

  25687. Thanks for making this video as an awareness to people who fall into the idea where learning a language seems to be as easy as what they've seen on YouTube, the reality is you need a lot a lot of time dedicated in learning any languages. I always cringe when someone make a video about "How I learned X language in 14 days", reaction video etc... when the fact that the viewers didn't realize they only able to speak few common phrases or common sentences just to impress the people in the video, reaction videos sell very well on YouTube! Be smart guys! don't believe everything you see on YouTube, there are many fake videos on YouTube, such as fake pranks videos, fake animal rescuer videos & even fake cooking videos.

  25707. I tried a number of years ago to learn a little Mandarin before I went to Taiwan, not to be fluent but to be polite, I wanted to be able ask simple direction's etc. I was told check you tube and found polyglots saying you could become fluent in under thirty days. Didn't happen. I got a couple of well known language programs at great expense and was rapidly overwhelmed. In end I traveled being only able to say hello and thank you. I relied on my friend to talk for me, and found that many Taiwanese could speak at least some English, and even more so in Hong Kong and Singapore. Prior to my first trip to Japan I took an eight week, one hour a week, travel language Japanese course, used Rocket Japanese, and was able to say short stock phrases. In native speakers I could pick out the odd word in sentences but still relied on the fact that many Japanese spoke what they thought of bad English, but was far better than my limited bad Japanese. Basically got by. I made the decision that I really wanted to know Japanese so got a Japanese Native tutor and got a little better prior to my next trip. It was obvious that I could make myself understood at a very basic level and understand more but at a basic level. Again I got by. I had begun to realize that my approach was flawed. I had thought I could just get conversational, but it didn't really work. I was watching YouTube but not really finding what I needed. I was a half assed Japanese language student. When covid shut down the world, I couldn't continue with my tutor. I found your channel and you smacked me up the side of the head by your straight talk. You need to practice hours per day not per week, you need to learn to read and write in Japanese because they complement each other. Grammar is important. You need to work hard for years, not weeks, to achieve anything close to useful understanding of a new language. I had already a basic knowledge that I need to follow this path, but was still looking for the magic shortcut. However, my finding and subscribing to your channel was a case of the right time for me to be receptive to your message. It's up and downs, but progress is slow but steady. It's video's such as this which is why I listen, watch and subscribed. It's why I look forward to your content. I love the cultural components, the interesting people you interact with. The stuff that makes me think. It both inspires me to work on my language learning journey, as it shows what is possible, if you put in the effort. So that is why I look forward to every release of yours. I'm sure that why you were an effective language teacher. That's why you channel stands out from the masses. It doesn't pander to the slacker in me, it calls out the bullshit in myself, and the world of language learning myths. Thanks again.

  25722. I'm glad you're making videos like these again: using language skills for exploration and journalism rather than for their own sake. I think you'd mentioned the reaction videos always got more views than these, but perhaps you have enough of a subscriber base to make it work now.

I need an 1 hour version of this video, i really like it, dude i have been learning the language for two years an half and i have to tell you jsut like when i started to learn it, like with english for the firts time and when you gradually are reaching the point where you are able to undertand the conversations as well to read it the feeling its so gratifiying. I hope to being able to travel to japan one day to so far in the future.

  25734. I reckon if you speak chinese on such a high level, people assume you've simply grown up here, whilst if you don't speak that fluently and make mistakes, people will think you are arduously studying it xD

  25741. For me, I study languages until I understand advance stuff, but I don't come as far as being able to make sentences using advanced words. Like how you did with Chinese to prove your level. English is my second language and for example I was able to understand everything by reading the engsubs that you added, but I know I wouldn't be able to form a sentence like that by my own, maybe not even in my native langue. Sure I can understand advance stuff but doing it and being interested in doing so is another story.

  25743. I'm glad you are starting to enjoy the attention! You obviously bring a lot of Chinese speakers joy when you speak to them, so it's good that now you are finally enjoying it too! And I love watching your videos as a way to help me practice my Chinese.

  25745. I mean even if tokyo it might not be the paradise that many people think still is an pretty good dam country in many aspects and really the relaity is that if you compare it with many others countries japan still is so much better. Im not really surpraise to being honest although is not like most of japan is like this or anything close but always is important to have an at least decent graps of the good and bad things about an country.

  25757. En Perú es muy poco común encontrar tiendas de dulces o de productos empacados. En la mayoría de lugares, como estaciones de tren, o de autobuses, o en edificios gubernamentales, plazas, parques, o lo que te imagines, hay personas vendiendo porciones de comida natural preparada al instante. Parece difícil de creer, pero sí, la gente se las ingenia para preparar comida en lugares pequeños. Es por eso que al caminar por las calles de Perú, se huelen diferentes aromas de comida.

I’m an American who visited Japan recently (solo) and found out plenty of Japanese people are willing to talk to you even if you don’t speak their language. I drank and took pictures with so many Japan natives at bars, restaurants etc and even got to hang out with a group of Japanese guys and girls for a couple of hours at around 1am. lol I fell asleep on the train dead drunk and woke up to a Japanese salary man sleeping on my shoulder! These people are just like you and me so don’t be afraid to interact with them.

  25767. 1. Many Americans don't travel that much. 2. A lot of US, UK, AUS, NZ.. choose not to learn a second language. 3. She is obviously active and takes care of her health. 4. Many of her facial features do look Eastern European. If I didn't here her speak English, I'd probably guess the same.. their guesses are valid.. OH! 5. Also, Russia is so close and they probably get many visitors from there 😅 Great job on the videos! ❤

  25774. The term Yankee actually predates the Revolution and may have originated in Britain in the 17th Century. It did become an appellation for New Englanders before the War, and then by extension a term for all northerners. Then somehow 'Yank' became a nickname for all Americans in Britain, no matter what region they hailed from. Language is weird.

  25821. Congratulations! It looked lovely. Personally from my experience cultures can clash during weddings. Western mothers/friends want to be involved in every aspect of the wedding to "help out" whereas in Japan couples take care of it themselves and it's more private! Maybe a generalisation but that's just my impression.

  25826. I plan to move to to Japan to be a teacher and I am having a hard time figuring out how to bring my belongings to Japan. Could you give me some advice? Should I pay slowly have it send to me or should I pay to have it all shipped all at once? I do plan to stay for a long time even thinking about aiming for citizenship if I like it enough. Most of my belongings I'm okay with leaving behind, and some I can just put on carry on with me, but when it comes to more personal items that are heavy and big that I want to keep like collectables is where I have the issue. I really don't want to have to just give everything up and start over with getting these items.

It's crazy the way people still think nowadays, how rude and unkind they are just because they are behind a screen and they feel powerful by spreading hate and shitty comments, it's not easy being a foreigner in another country, and yes some people don't accept you being there but this dosen't mean that this is a place where people should be assholes just because they can't understand or care about a thing or others, anyway, like the video and keep up with the good work 😊

  25848. I have to disagree with you on two points: 1. In my opinion it's fine to learn two languages at once provided that the languages are actually unrelated to one another. It's much harder to learn Spanish and Portuguese at the same time than say, Spanish and Chinese. 2. You certainly can reach C2 level fluency with self-study. There are millions of L2 speakers of English, including yours truly, who have never bothered taking a class, simply because it is not their style of learning, everybody is different.
    1
  25849. Not quite sure why you felt the need to include the failure of your friend to show up. Pretty much off topic and a bit of a distraction. However, I enjoyed the rest of it. Thanks.
    1
  25850. I'm glad some have actually addressed this. Internet "polyglots" get on my nerves to an unimaginable extent because their popularity is built on being disingenuous. This wouldn't get on my nerves so much if they were "actively" trying to learn the language, but many of them seem only to have memorized lines and phrases and depend on controlling the conversation to sound fluent. Heck, I took a few Spanish classes my freshman year of college (I'm a senior now) and haven't touched the language since, but I can still speak better Spanish than any internet "polyglot" that I've seen. Maybe I should become an internet polyglot. I need the money. Well, my student loans need the money.

  25858. You are such an inspiration, Oriental Pearl! I've been lazily learning Mandarin over a few years. The little I know I use in a way that gives the impression I know much more meaning my pronunciation is good. Nali nali. You spoke to the aspects of properly learning Mandarin that seem so daunting—reading and writing. Xiè xie nín, lǎo shī.

I have a very good friend from Finland and she taught me all about the sauna customs, including beating each other on the back with tree branches. She even had a small sauna put in to her home here in Los Angeles.

  25873. It's not just you. So many language-centered youtubers post inauthentic, uninteresting content, and have massive egos to boot. That, or they've got something they're selling. My least favorite is the "SURPRISE, BITCHES, OUTSIDER SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE" trope; "how I became fluent in X language in just a month or two ;) ;) ;)" is a close second. It's exhausting, and that's just from the perspective of an observer. It's not all bad, of course- there are excellent content creators and content in the YT language scene. There is a small handful of creators posting content in 閩南語 with a view to increasing its popularity and use among younger folks, and I think that's just wonderful.

  25879. I don’t understand why you receive any hate? Like all you’re doing is just loving your life, sharing your journey, and sharing your experience in so many uplifting ways and for people to hate on that type of positivity and beauty? Girl your literally going places and all they do is envy that because their stuck being miserable and there demons. Keep being great and keep sharing your bright light and someday i even wanna be like you and visit Japan and try to learn the language and just go out and explore the world! People are so small minded and bounded by their limits rather breaking them. You are amazing and you will continue to be amazing because the truth that they fear is that you’re only gonna continue to grow and they hate it. Gain that confidence queen and prosper!! Much love 💕

  25882. Chinese is my language for 2023. It will be my 10th language, and I am trying to recapture my other languages after years of only speaking English. Edit to add: Is this where that guy does his Chinese videos, too? In New York? They are probably used to it now.

  25885. I speak English, Spanish and ASL. After the second language you become bye-lingual cause the languages start to meld lol. I'm not sure if it happens to you but my brain will sometimes wake up in Spanish and I have to translate all my conversations to English in my head. Same when it wakes up in English and I'm with someone who speaks Spanish. I learned Spanish in Puerto Rico when I was 10 tho.

  25886. Suomi Mainittu. Torilla tavataan! Well finish and japanese cultures has much similarities and this why many Japanese like Finland and finnish culture and otherway around also. Social distance in behaviour. Average peoples dont make them selfs to be known (grandiloquent). No loud speaking, joking, fooling in public areas. Restrained appearance. Also in way of living. "Less in more" what comes to house interiors. Also designs and styles are very similar.

  25901. New subscriber ⭐️ I lived in Japan when I was young and loved it so much! My family and I have such great memories. My mom also taught English there and we are originally from MN. Our experience was very similar to yours and I do believe it’s Mid West nature to be so down to earth. We just get it. Anyway, it’s great content and it’s what I am doing while I work from home in DC right now. I also adoreeeee you’re a woman doing it on your own. So cool. Keep sharing and like you said, people are people xx

  25942. I think motivating yourself is really helpful. I once tried learning Hebrew like you tried learning Spanish. Then I met an Israeli guy who I was really interested in. He had been an elite soldier in the 6 day war and I wanted to hear his story. But he spoke no English, so I was motivated to put in the work and learned enough in 6 months to have a conversation. Unfortunately, I found that the guy was too PTSD to talk about his war experiences, but at least I got to read and appreciate Song of Songs and Psalms in the original.

  25948. just ignore people talking about you, you know I have been trying learning japanese for 1 year but no luck because it's hard to find japanese people for practice, I can learn from anime only lol...you should proud that you can speak multi languages, keep doing it, because I will try practice japanese! ganbatte!! forgot tell you I'm one of those have disability too..thanks for this video!

I've been trying out some substitutes to progress my learning further but the varying degrees of quality and what works for me are all over the place. You being the first person I've ever seen that willingly used Pimsleur, I hope you can let me know what else you used

  25964. Alyssa, I don't see this kind of reporting on NHK! Aside from the guy lowballing you in NW Tokyo (your virtue is infinity), it seems these areas are relatively safe and there is less mental illness than in the US. The light you are shedding on this topic of homelessness is making a difference. If you can keep it up, I think the government will do something to address it. It takes an outsider's eye to put the problem into perspective!
    1
  25965. I 100% agree, as a speaker of 3 languages you can tell when people are BS it. (I'm Greek) and learned English and French cause of Canada. languages are used to connect IMO. I'm studying Japanese now and its like you said it takes time to build up to read to write. To ask for more than a katsu curry. Keep up the good work!

  25966. Dam... your Chinese is so good. Shame of me... do you consider teaching Chinese as well? Very nice of you. I can imagine lots of guys crash on you in China. Thanks for sharing!

  25990. I saw a black guy, an athlete that did the same thing and he got a really good reception but this girl does much better. I think it’s because she’s so casual and likely has a much better dialect?

  25991. ....so amazing! Learning languages are the door into the people's hearts in that country! 😊👍👏👏👏
    1
  25992. Maybe in another 10 years' time, when more foreigners are able to speak Chinese fluently, people may not find it out of the ordinary. So do enjoy the attention and satisfaction of being part of the rare minority with the proficiency of speaking Chinese AND Japanese so well!

  26015. Random question: out of general curiosity only. Do you ever feel like, when speaking Chinese with others, that they just want the conversation to end? Im not implying anything im simply just curious.

  26022. Like you do have an accent in japanese, but I am able to understand you so it's good. I feel people say the bottom part of when saying "its good" when its "bad" it's more it's good because it is understandable. Everything can always use more work, no? But when flaes are pointed out, it's a bit nitpicky, but people tend to want to do their best so it's still positive both ways I think.
    1
  26023. I think the lady and the guy from Taiwan were pretty impressed. I’m from Taiwan and I’m super impressed with your Chinese. The lady asked a good question about culture difference and I like your answer a lot. I observed the same thing here in the US. Btw, just curious, how do you practice Chinese accent? Did you pay extra attention or time focusing on it?
    1
  26024. your channel is great, thank you : )

  26025. Mamachari == "Mama's chariot" == bicycle/jitensha with basket/seat on the back. BTW here in the USA more and more people are becoming too poor to own a car and it's all walking, bicycle, and public transportation for us.

  26026. Why are people angry at polyglots? Lets step back abit, people are angry (jealous) that they can't do what others can d,. and now people are just angry at everything, even themselves and needs to vent and play the blaming game. Learning anything is a skill that can be developed IF you find the best way to learning it, some people learn something faster some not as quick. I speak somewhat 7 languages within my territory; Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, English (duh) broken french, aweful Korean and spanish, the majority is from school, another is interest and facinated, French and Spanish is very sexy 'wink' 'wink' Oriental Pearl is just amazing and Wouter is on another level

  26036. I often hear people talking about me in Japanese. Can't tell 100% what it is most of the time but I can get the gist. Kind of annoying. Called some kids out once and scared the absolute shit out of them. In their case, it was about me being fat. So... yeah. Putting a little scare into them is probably a good thing.

  26061. Been speaking bits of Cantonese since a kid from my chinese friend. Late teen I started learning bits of kanji. Now as an adult. Friends are trying to get me to learn. Hiragana then to totally break my brain I've learnt lot of nice phases in Polish, Spanish,German, Italian, Indian (Punjabi) ,Portuguese ,Romanian and Lithuanian.

  26064. Hi you’re Nihongo is really good! I’m just curious how long did you study it and how long did it take you to actually be good at it? I”m studying it at the moment and because I don’t use it daily I tend to forget older studied material :/

  26068. In 2016 I attended language schools in Tokyo and Fukuoka and both were amazing. While I agree that you shouldn't limit your Japan experience to the big cities, it's not true that all school there are equally bad or don't provide room to pratice speaking skills. But maybe I just got lucky with 'my' schools

  26071. Japan tends to be a very playful place. I'm not surprised at this. Plus it brought a good deal of joy to the day. There should be a punchline here somewhere: A black man, a blonde and a robot walk into a bar [mall] ....

  26072. Love this. Really enjoyed! I'm glad you both had the chance to visit s place like that. It's on my list

  26073. I took your advice on pimsleur and it is a really good course actually! Working my way through Japanese 1. In your videos you seem really confident - back in England people don't seem to be as friendly as the people you speak too and it makes me anxious. Do you find Japanese people to be more friendly than westerners generally? I plan to move to Japan in the next few years. The people seem relaxed and friendly to talk to. ありがとございます

  26080. What a cool, cool video. Very engaging. First, I, and American, can eat with chop sticks like on one's business! I'm fast and accurate. But, my handwriting is horrible. I have to painstakingly concentrate on each letter if I want my handwriting to look accpetable. And then I found out handwriting is in the brain, not the hand. Well, that explains that. Must be quite the disconnect between writing and using chop sticks! Oh, and Pearl, why are those vending machines in English? I saw a few of those, and I dont' get it. Thanks again for a great vid!

  26103. That’s what I love about your videos that you actually talk with people in Japanese or Chinese and I always find that annoying about other Youtubers they know how to talk but they don’t do it
    1
  26104. i always wonder about this bc i've wanted to visit east asia, i have a friend in Singapore and i've been wanting to visit Japan and Korea, but in korea especially, it seems like every meal revolves around meat or has fish sauce, and I can't digest most animal proteins without getting sick, and as a result even eating like veggies or something that has a meat sauce on it now just makes me think about being sick and it doesn't taste good to me :( i've been wondering if there's anything i could really eat in Korea other than rice and steamed vegetables... I know food is a big part of the culture and i'd want to do my best to get to know people there, but is there a way you can do that when you have a severely restricted diet? I know vegetarian / vegan foods exist in east asian cuisine and i do love a lot of the flavor profiles, especially spicy food, but is it common to find those options in restaurants? I love learning new languages and have studied about ten and am conversational in about two, and learning some Mandarin and Korean has made me want to go there, but i feel like it would be really hard, idk. I'm glad I found your videos though! they are super positive and make me want to get back into learning korean and mandarin like i was a couple months ago
    1
  26105. i closed my eyes while I'm listening you reading it in Chinese, but idk why some conversation from Chinese movie always crossed my mind 🤣
    1
  26106. I find this shocking and hard to believe ! For centuries , China and Japan were rival bitter enemies ! Remember before the Pearl Harbor attack on the U.S., Japan invaded certain parts of China ! China aided our U.S. Pilots that were shot down by the Japanese Armed Forces ! So it is shocking to discover that Tokyo would even have a China Town section !

  26117.  @OrientalPearl  are you stuck in Japan? Are you going to make more videos? I think these videos are great because of the reactions of native Mandarin speakers being blown away by your fluent University level Chinese. It's novel to them because they don't expect it from a Caucasian. You should include these interactions in as many videos as possible. Imagine the untapped YouTube market. You can have millions of viewers across the globe and monetize your videos. All your videos should be in dual languages. You already show a Westerner's perspective to living in Asia. You can introduce and give insight to American culture to the Chinese speaking populations. Your options are limitless and you own your own content. You can license it and even get picked up by a travel show.

I will also do day trips to Yokohama Yamaguchi Kyoto Kobe and Nara. While I am in Tokyo I would love to meet up with you and husband if your both interested. We could meet up for a chat and we could do some sight seeing and I could treat both of you to dinner. Let me know if your interested.

  26161. I don't think the Chinese at the bookstore were shocked because of your ability to speak Chinese. Consequently, I won't label it as "shocked". The expression I would think is more of admiration than a shock shock.

  26180. This defeats the whole bias against Japan from western media saying Japanese hate foreigners. And other prejudice bullshit the mainstream media says and when they exaggerate problems within Japan. My big brother who lives in Virginia was in the navy and visited Japan many times, and he is half Jewish on our father's side, his skin is slightly darker and less pale than mine as he has more of our father in him than I do. and as far as I know he's never got into any trouble with native Japanese while visiting Japan or experienced racism either. Yes Japan has some bigots, but then again, so does every other country in the world.

  26210. Anming, something that has never hit me before while watching your videos... the breathing, and i mean that literally, seems to be quite different when speaking chinese/japanese vs english. is that something that you find, at least initially, required a "re-training" of oneself when learning those two languages? There appears to be more speed required, less time to breathe in between sentences, etc

  26226. that guy on the scooter was good vibes you should hangout more with him and have more cool conversations

  26227. I don't know how much it is that it feels good to hear someone making the effort to speak Japanese, so that's become the way of saying "I appreciate that you're making the effort to learn Japanese".

It was such an experience going to our local shrine and then temple. That is so cool that your father-in-law watches Youtube and is learning some English. Reminds me of my mother-in-law. You guys had some nice osechi and sweets too! Very cool!

  26245. I can start a conversation very easily. But the problem is, I can't continue for long... and soon the conversation becomes boring. Maybe it's because of lack of my Japanese vocabulary

  26246. I'm sorry your going through growing pains for the YouTube channel. Looking on the bright side, with everyone encouraged to stay at home, now is the time to invest in content creation so that once a vaccine is available and ad rates go back up you will be in a much better position as a content creator to thrive.

  26253. Did you know that rain on your wedding day is good luck? It is. At our wedding is was misting, then stopped for the ceremony, was sprinkling on the way to the reception, and then rained just like your heavy moments as we ate. I like to think it is good luck as we are still happy and going strong. Next year with be our 30th anniversary. All the best to you both, you looked so happy! Also loved the fact that you did the ceremony your way! Everything looked fantastic and most of all the groom and the bride.

  26260. It basically just comes down to how much you put into something determines how much you get back from it … the more serious effort you put in the better the results … Also learning a new language should be something taken at whatever reasonable pace that’s comfortable for the learner. To force yourself with unreasonable expectations of an unrealistic time frame is never a good thing so take it slow and steady is usually a good place to start from and in time you’ll figure out how much more time and effort needs to be done. Just my 2¢ … great video again 👍
    1
  26261. Do you have any suggestions on how i should start? I downloaded duolingo and have started doing some lessons starting from scratch of course and i watch your videos on a daily and a few others. I always think i just might be too old to retain it.

  26262. I love Asian women! Emi is so beautiful!! And I'm too short! Hahaha

  26263. The way I see it, if you wish to REALLY learn a language, you are going to have to spend many, many years perfecting it. As for speaking many languages, I think it may be important (especially if you're interested) in mastering basic conversation in some other languages. That being said, people who know fluff talk in many languages, should definitely not be calling themselves polyglots because polyglots spend many decades of their life perfecting their work, so it practically comes off as an insult to people who actually put in the effort. However, being able to speak a language enough to understand basic conversation can actually be a really valuable asset and can be used in many lines of work.

  26267. That was a great video! You inspire me to keep up with my language learning! It is a good reminder for when when I ”hit” those ”roadblocks”! Your Mom is AMAZING! Thank you for all you share!

  26268. Great job with your Asian languages and impressing the people over in those countries.
    1
  26269. Great conversation! One thing that has bugged me is the people who just magically learned Korean (for example as this is my current language of choice to study) by watching Korean Dramas and listening to k-pop.. like how? I mean I grew up, like many others, listening to English music and watching English shows with subtitles in my native language but that didn't make me magically become a great English speaker.
    1
  26270. I don't see any problem (in terms of manner) with responding "thanks" to "your chinese is good", though they may not mean that. They said this because they are willing to talk to you, when they have no idea what is the best to talk about. Saying "your chinese is good" could start a good topic, in my opinion. (Therefore, downside of "thank you" is that it might end the conversation right away, while saying "not exactly" could continue it)
    1
  26271. Anyway, most of us are proud of our language and wish more and more people can learn it, so we never want to depress anyone who ever tried to speak it. （BTW我用英文评论是为了让更多人能看懂，并不是因为我不喜欢中文）

  26275. She's right when she says that you don't need great language abilities to order food and have casual conversations. My Korean is really limited, and had great experiences with service people in Korea when I spoke their language. Don't be afraid, they'll value your efforts even if your skills are not great. Never give up, guys!

  26281. I don't understand why they are so shocked about foreigners or not Japanese looking people speaking Japanese. Like it's impossible for "non Japanese" to speak their language. I can't help but imagine if I were to be like this towards English people here in France (where I live there is a lot of English) , it would be so rude 🤯

  26282. On the last myth, in my country, there are these legendary creatures that know everything when you ask them directions. They are the SEKYU (Security guards😆)..

(Where is *insert place*?)", and they just know everything.😂 BTW, the country i'm talking about is the Philippines for ya'll foreigners.

  26290. Northern Han Chinese and Japanese are genetically the same in this most recent study. Manchurians are close relatives to them. So many dongbei people in Japan make a lot of sense due to shared traits from their DNA. Very likely that Japanese are just Northern Han people who ended up in Japan thousands years ago. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41422-020-0322-9

  26296. So in regards to that mindkraft idiot. He’s basically trying to say it’s racist and disrespectful to put up videos of amazing, happiness inducing interactions with native speakers by a person that’s not native? The videos I’ve seen aren’t click baitey, greed orientated, money for clicks vids. They are amazing and intriguing. Which is why they are popular.

  26300. As someone learning Japanese now, I’ve noticed that you seem prefer using いないです instead じゃありません when you’re conversing. This is interesting because my book teachers the latter as the mor politer option, especially when you speak to people you don’t know

  26302. I've noticed that many Japanese people will also say that they don't know English and then speak full sentences in near perfect English. Grammar being off generally isn't a big issue with me anyways.

Plus, Japan has been trying so hard as a community to get ready for the Olympics. Many of our shows revolved around teaching how to interact with gaijin and speaking English.

A baby knows more than I do, I can say hi and ask for that red shirt over there (I literally only know one color....) There are NO Japanese classes within like 40-50 miles (over an hour or 2 with traffic) so I can't go learn IRL like I want with other students... :(

  26377. I think that the interest in your channel stems from the fact that many people study a language and wish to achieve your level of proficiency but they get halfway and get stuck on some sort of plateau there and find it hard to get further. I have experienced this myself studying French and Dutch.

  26378. Thank you so much for uploading content. I appreciate you! I really do love your videos, they keep inspiring me to learn a new language and maybe someday go to Japan! Please, don’t be discouraged because of people who unsubscribe or the haters. I am rooting for you! Thank you! 🙏🏻💕

  26389. I mean, for an English perspective, no one will be shocked if someone speak English XD it's so normalized and even in some places you hear that is almost imperative to speak English if you wanna be someone, but it's diferente with other languages, o personally love the videos where people should somebody by speaking their language, it's makes wanna learn more because you can see the people happy and and interesting to connect with people from other country in their own language :)

  26394. I totally understand what you mean. I regularly speak to new language exchange partners. My Japanese isn't even good and I'm not being humble. But whenever we talk for like 30 seconds they immediately tell me how great my Japanese is and then it's this constant back and forth of their compliments and my modesty and I know I know, they want to be nice but ugh I just can't stand it hearing this all the time.

  26417. I propose no answers, but I can say this for myself. I just enjoy seeing people interact where there would have been a barrier if not for everyone with the patience and drive to actually learn other languages, and the passion to use them. The surprise, and very often elation, is a wildly positive experience. Thanks for everything.

Hi, i just discovered your channel and i think that is so interesting, i have learning chinese for three years and not see too much vloggers talking about chinese culture and language.I like your content.I'm uruguayan and here is not too much chinese people but the chinese that i meet always be surprised about my chinese even if i only say 你好，很高兴认识你，haha but i think it's because not much people talk chinese in Uruguay i think that is rare found somebody talking chinese here.I love korean lenguaje too so someday i wish to be like you talking this two languages, thanks for your videos.

  26443. People like you who share how fun and wholesome knowing another language is has encouraged me to learn Hindi. It is hard but I am slowly noticing some improvement.

  26444. Hello I have à few questions for you because currently I am doing a Japanese/German major and I wanted to go learn chinese in order to work in China or Taiwan can you tell me if it is okay to work in China as a teacher? I really like teaching languages so I would Love to work there but I am still hesitating between Japan and China because I don't have a clue about the salaries and the work conditions It wouldn be amazing if you could clear things up for me❤

  26446. So many impressions for Tommy to digest, especially the home sizes and of course the food. Awesome that Tommy was able to experience Thanksgiving with your family. So funny how he cheers for the wrong side scoring, but finally cheering for a Red Wings victory. So sad that Tommy had to fly back on his own. How much time can you take off when working in Japan?

  26450. The reason why they calling you Russian is because you are beautiful like Russian girl and second they don’t expect American to speak fluently Chinese in such way.
    1
  26451. This channel always delivers good vibes.
    1
  26452. Just discovered this channel,much interesting topics, I do speak Arabic and French cause I’m Moroccan , English as official corporate language in the cpy I work in, Russian and Ukrainian the main languages of universities where I graduated in Moscow and Kiev, but I do not see my self a Polyglot 😉
    1
  26453. People said are polyglot can be narcissistic; people are against the fake polyglot also can be narcissistic; I can be narcissistic. But, just living with other person we can say this other is narcissistic.

  26460. It definitely helps being fluent in Nihongo to start with...especially if you know formal Japanese...
    1
  26461. You are very attractive 😻
    1
  26462. Yes, fun, I liked it. I begin to recognize words now and then. In both languages. Also begin to hear when you speak which language. Thank you so much for these fun videos. You made me smile today. Thank you.
    1
  26463. I left it too late to study abroad. Yes, one can pack up and go at any time but I am now in my 50s with family and commitments. I would encourage anyone much younger to consider doing so as I believe it greatly enriches one's life to experience other cultures, never mind the benefits of learning other languages. I wrestle with Greek and Japanese but really should have spent time in those countries as I miss the nuances. Thank you for your interesting, funny and informative videos.
    1
  26464. you always keep things real 👏👍

  26465. Oh, and another great vid!!

He should visit once Germany at least for a week traveling through different areas and will have seen not much. Beside it would be an interesting food experience. I know japanese tour for seven days in Europe and believe have seen all of it.

  26474. 阿明，我听你说中文的声音配上你的表情，已经是没有隔阂了，虽然是个洋妞，但是是一股中国味儿，哈哈，最有特色的就是你嘴里说出来的那个"不"字！！ 😄，看来和中国小孩在一起的日子不少啊！！

  26478. Hi, I just wanted to ask you something. I was wondering if you would be my friend. I am 27 y/o female and live in Arizona and have been studying Japanese for 4 months. I am obsessed with Asian culture and plan on studying Chinese after Japanese. You are just so adorable and kind and I have one friend(not trying to get pity LOL js) but I have a hard time making friends with anyone here in America as I don't think people are very mentally healthy, I am too nice and get taken advantage of a lot and I don't have much in common with people. You seem like someone I would get along with. I don't know. I am just putting that out there. Obviously you are probably a very busyperson and aren't using youtube to make friends. Have a nice day ~
    1
  26479. nice make more video😎

  26480. You are so cool ❤and you look Russian. Haha just kidding

    1
  26483. Aaaaaaa, your videos have really great quality of content, also the editing and script are very good. It doesn't feel like a video but more as sharing a piece of your day on a platform, it's really impressive. I'm not so much into Asian countries specifically but more into learning a new language, but even with that your videos still got me hooked. Seems like I'm gonna watch them all very soon haha. -Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

  26484. At 9:28 they are Malaysia The Problem its i am also Malaysia and live at Kuala Lumpur Btw i love ur channel!!

  26485. I can't wait for the Japanese version! I was studying Chinese but then I wanted to learn Japanese for some reason. But I need help cause It seems like memorizing 1000 simplified characters is easier than memorizing one kanji lol. Thank you for this video!
    1
  26486. Learning a new language takes tons of dedication and YEARS of work. It also means learning a new CULTURE and you cannot possibly do that in a few weeks or months.
    1
  26487. Ur language s are so good I just started to learn Japanese
    1
  26488. Hola , Ang Ming! Hello from NYC😊🖐 nothing like living alone!

  26489. I actually feel inspired to try to broaden my lingual horizons. Thank you for making this video =)
    1
  26490. true. they just regurgiated some basic sentences that they have learned.iam vietnamese.learning chinese is easier for vietnamese people in comparison with westerners .but it still takes 4 years for me to reach proficiency level and i still have to study it every day .I have seen all the self-proclaimed polyglots speaking vietnamese on youtube .i quickly realised that they just spoke some basic sentences that they rote-learning except for keely. he said some quite deep meaning sentences the two real poplyglots i think they are steve kaufman and tim keely. little girl named bella is also impressive

  26491. So miss Japan ........
    1
  26492. i grew up in malaysia, with a good portion of us being trilingual, speaking english, malay and mandarin with some diaspora chinese being able to speak multiple dialects and diaspora indians speaking tamil(mainly) and the other dialects like telegu, maliali, hindi etc. seeing you code switch like that reminds me of malaysians code switching too! I'm currently studying japanese and am aiming for fluency to mix with the other 3 languages i speak (english, malay, mandarin) hehehe. can i also mention 你的中文真的超可爱，日本語もめっちゃかわいい!
    1
  26493. Calpis drink is my favorite Japan drink, available here in CAMBODIA 🇰🇭 as well. BTW, you’re well in interacting in conversation with Chinese as well as Japanese 👍🏻
    1
  26494. I like that you're bringing awareness to this because I'm half Indonesia, my 2nd language I could say is Japanese not Indonesian, though I'm trying to learn that too. And a cool thing is that even my Dad got surprised when I spoke Sundanese (his native language) even though it's part of my own ethnicity. Him and my relatives on his side were very happy that I was learning that. Just because it's an uncommon language and I've taken interest into it.
    1
  26495. Couldn’t agree more

  26496. Uzaki chan is soooo good tho

  26501. Ugh, that bowl of 'gloop' was well worth avoiding. I shared your gag reflex at the thought of taking just one mouthful. As for the fried egg ... I will try eating one with chopsticks sometime, but to be honest I usually drop it using a knife and fork, so what are my chances?

  26504. Sayaka-san seems so nice!!
    1
  26505. well, I can feel you, not being accepted as one and sometimes being accepted as one when you don't want to, is painful indeed. (being accepted as one when you don't want to, is usually in case of not identifying with the birth country or country and culture of ethnicity) in my case that being accepted as one when one doesn't want to, is much stronger. Fitting in and finding home a difficult thing for sure. Do you feel connection with the country and culture you grew up in? (The US)

  26506. This was such a special moment. Tommy looked like me when I landed in Japan after dreaming about going since I was a little kid. Thank you for sharing.
    1
  26507. This was so heart warming and proves that once we have the ability to speak to each other we find out that actually we are not all that different . Oriental Pearl go girl, I only wish I had a quarter of your brains excellence, in fact I think a few strands of your blond locks probably has a touch more intelligence than me, HA !.

  26518. I'm like those fake polyglots in a way, I speak a tiny little bit of a few languages, and even when I tell people I speak to, that it's only a liiiittle bit they're like "it's still impressive" or "you know so many languages" I'm like wtf? How is it impressive? Because anyone could do that. I think people put so much into learning languages, like even the basis, they think it's extraordinary for some reason, but it's really not
    1
  26519. We love your story and really appreciate your sharing it! You make a lovely couple💕

  26520. They definitely can't detect your accent either.

  26522. Happened in Singapore. I was once riding in an elavator with a couple of Japanese guys who were going for a tennis session. Them talking about tennis in Japanese. Wished that I had picked up enough of the language at that time to join in the conversation, but alas, I could only infer only so much, let alone speak.

  26523. That was a really cool video. These people are so welcoming.

  26547. Trolls are insignificant ugly inside people who sit at home in their underwear stinking the place out and diving into lives that try, and lives that are much much much more interesting than theirs . Ugly Jealousy and Coward like tendencies = Troll. Remember we who watch you are all somewhat insignificant, well let's say we don't truly know you and you do not truly know us, Pearl, what matters most is your family and close friends and sometimes even they can get the better of us all. Just remember that people who are not at least nice should not matter to you, constructive criticism is not a problem but nastiness should be flicked away like a tiny piece of paper into the abyss.

  26548. part 2 please!!!

  26549. Why do americans call a cabriolets, convertibles? The name is missing any poetry and creativity ... almost like a German made this name up. Guess how Germans call Cabriolets ... Carbiolets. Like the rest of the world. 😜
    1
  26550. Nooooo way would I do that. I've dream of doing , it, it looks exciting. What brave you and your mom are to do this!!

  26551. I follow Tokyo Fashion on instagram as well as a few people on there, and I also follow you on youtube/instagram, so this video was like one of those amazing "cross-over" episodes! Really looking forward to the next video, hope Sayaka is in it too!

  26553. I've watched some of your videos and must confess, you are amazing.

  26555. Your Chinese is super cool!

  26556. It seems like they aren’t shocked because you’re so natural and casual with it. It’s like it goes past your head or something like that.

  26572. Cow tongue isnt that bad. Here in the Netherlands we have something called 'tongenworst'. It is a big kind of sauces with cow tongue in it. The butcher makes thin slices of it (about half a milimeter thick) and we eat it on a slice of bread. Very jummie. I wonder if your parents know about it because you have German roots. I dont know if germany has it too.

  26577. Congratulations on your engagement. Let your future inlaws know they came off as warm and loving. I first heard of taiyaki when I watched a video about it, and a shop opening up in the states that was making taiyaki. They made sure to do it in a traditional Japanese way, as apparently there are less traditional types sold in the US. (According to the video I watched.) When I saw the dango I immediately thought of marshmallows roasting.

  26586. Do you have any language learning recs for people who might be intermediate skill level but need to pick it up again? I always fall off learning programs again and again because they start at the very beginning and I get bored :( My intermediate skill is Japanese for reference. Thank you for all your hard work in your videos :)

  26595. Oriental Pearl, amazing! It has to be written up. You probably will not even mention it yourself. You gained one subscriber for every two minutes in the last day! 24 hours ago you had 40,100 subscribers. Now you have .............40,700 subscribers. That is an increase of 600 subscribers in a day. Or that is 25 subscribers for every hour. Or that is one subscriber for every two Minutes. That is affluence. That is gargantuan.

  26601. Large house at 4:38. Many foreigners says this about western houses. I had room mates from France who said Canadians were so lucky to have such large houses. And you get a backyard, parks and open areas. They told me in larger French cities many people with houses don't have such large back yards. They often live in apartments as well with little space. And there are not that many parks and open areas in France. I imagine coming from Japan Tommy is overwhelmed with everything America has to offer.

  26614. I have subscribed for awhile now and will do my best to leave likes and comments on as many of your videos as I can, if it will help you out in some way! I really love watching these videos, as a monolingual American with aspirations to learn other languages, you really inspire me that you have been able to learn so many so well.

He even knew about the cold weather in Michigan and the Great Lakes..wow, I think I'd feel like an idiot in Japan, I really know nothing about their country (aside from the obvious stuff) compared to what they probably know about mine, well I mean at the jump I'm sure they've learned a ton from just our TV shows, I haven't seen a single Japanese TV show

  26628. So before starting your career you went off to see the world, it was fun and now you're ready for something different. What's wrong with that? I was in Japan 3 years and stayed there ... for 12. Now I'm back in the US. Funny, what I miss most is the long hours reading on the train - magazines, books on which American movies were based, technical papers, even Anthropology and Linguistics. In one paper, someone recorded Americans from all around the US, mixed them up and played them all back to other people from all around the US and asked which ones sound like standard American English. They generally choose the speakers from around Iowa! That's the kind of thing Linguists and Communications majors do. Yeah, classroom management is a skill different from Language or Math or whatever you're teaching them. One of my favorite books on the train was "Preschool in Three Cultures - Japan, China, the US." I think it was Tobin's PhD Thesis but he rewrote it as a popular book with videos which by now are probably on youtube.

  26631. Honestly, the reason why I enjoy the videos is that it makes me more interested and comfortable knowing that the natives not only appreciate the fact that a foreigner is trying to learn their language, but they get so excited. It is these videos that gave me the push to pursue learning more languages. I find it ironic here that the ones complaining are doing so on youtube...

  26667. Some of them mostly follow you because of your blond hair and blue/green eyes its hard to tell which it is. But In Japan one of their major ideals of beauty relate around people that look like you. People of general German or Swedish decent or other such with the traits related to Blond hair Blue eyes, they don't like it on males or people who don't natural have it seeing it as a punk or other issues. But if its natural its seen quiet differently. Some websites state it as being relative curiosities based on being white with blond hair blue eyes, but many might look at follow or observe foreigners just to do it. It does not often have to do with wanting harm or do other such but it could include wishing to practice English. No different then your looking for people to practice Chinese and Japaneses with when you go out.

  26674. And even worse is when they claim ok so do basics in like 3months then go intimidate in like 4 and bam you got it... OMG how discouraging to real people... It takes YEARS to learn languages especially getting above a basic level. Just be authentic. That's what people crave

  26682. Anming, your college lvl studies really shines. Most average Americans can't spell judgmental correctly. There's a computer game i currently play, Darkest Dungeon. I tried to tell them it's judgment, NOT judgement. But no one listen. C'est la vie. I don't believe in this corona virus hoax either. I'm outside daily wearing no mask.

  26685. I've heard Americans cannot become citizens of either China or Japan. Does your family or your friends here in the US ever tell you to come home? With the deteriorating relationship between China and the US I wonder if you will ever be able to return to China.

  26688. Hi finally yesss your videos ❤❤❤❤

  26689. One thing to keep in mind in China is that there are actually districts and communities with a large number of foreign residents in them. Usually those associate in non-profits or established religious associations within the city that follow China's guidelines of religion or larger international businesses that set aside residences for their employees so they are in a denser English speaking area. In those communities its not required to speak Chinese since most locals there will have some level of English comprehension or only speak English in those areas. I have friends who do missionary work in China and there district is full of English speakers and the areas surrounding them accommodating to English speaking residents. So Chinese speaking foreigners are actually still rare compared to the number of english only foreigners in China. Japan on the other hand doesn't do that for foreigners. They don't set aside dedicated areas like that. Especially since in the cities, Japan already does a number of things to accommodate foreigners. At least in important stuff like food, safety and shelter. Most foreigners are either tourist or people working in the area. So the Japanese are more use to that dynamic where foreigners either know or don't know Japanese. But that depends on where you go of course like the video says. Just that in China, it's very much a surprise where in Japan, it's a surprise but no unexpected.

  26696. In these self-quarantine times getting my Japanese workbooks and brushing up on my Japanese I know will come in handy in the future! Glad to see you not letting this stop you from living. Living in fear isn't living after all. You showed perfectly how much more comfortable they can get from you knowing small phrases to break the barrier!

  26707. People that criticize her must be from a country where their government force them to watch her YouTube channel. Where I comes from, I can choose not to watch. As for the person complaining that she is not beautiful ... In case it is too difficult for you to understand, she did not present herself as a beauty queen nor provide advice on how to look pretty. In the end, she is an entertainer for the people that subscribe to her channel. Perhaps you should resist your governments requirement to watch or subscribe to her channel.

  26709. You seem to be the only one wearing a face mask with a design. It would seem like Japanese would at least have something like a hello kitty on the front, or some floral print.

  26711. Kawagoe is immediately recognizable with it's shopping streets and historic architecture district. I think it's funny they have stalls even when there's no festival. People outside of Tokyo in general seem more talkative and want to talk about the good points of where they live, but some of them might not be used to seeing foreigners and might be shy, if you stray from tourist areas. I didn't speak more than a few words when I lived in Japan and as I traveled around I really regretted not being able to speak more, people would still approach me and were so friendly but I couldn't do more than exchange very surface level pleasantries. Learning the language is so important!

  26712. "No human being should ever be judged on the way she/he looks. Respect human dignity!" That should definitely be a signage to put everywhere in every city in the world ❤

Love is stronger than anything and I wish both of you all the best! Thank you for sharing your special day with us and I do hope your family will be able to visit you sometime soon. I wouldn't mind donating to a fund to make it possible. (If tourism returns to Japan at some point in the future, I'd love to visit as well). Congrats again and enjoy this new chapter of your lives! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊🥰

  26721. and now in japanese pls :D i still don't know why japanese is fascinating me so much more then any other language. My only regret is, that i can't keep myself focused for long to study the language on my own. maybe when i come to japan with my old age ( 35 q^~^p ,hopefully by next year) and have no other choice then learning or go starving :D i heard you going out with Jasmin and Nik and you guys go partying together. hope you guys stay safe and have a lot of fun with together :)

  26726. @Oriental Pearl & @JJsays The youtube algorithm may tend to isolate people in echo chambers. However, another analogy may be Eastern European early 20th century ghettos. The Internet Ghetto is not necessarily disadvantaged peoples lacking access. Rather, being herded into areas with high walls, not being given access to outside interactions and not being able to even see what’s out there. And then, there is the Great Firewall of China. That’s another level beast.

  26728. How refreshing to see real life video. It is such an advantage to be transparent in life. It gives everyone a chance to know you.

I love watching people become so excited that you can speak to them. I makes you think about how much better the world would be if we could all just talk to each other.

  26735. Living my dream right there.

  26736. Glad that skaterdude at least got a good meal out of the interview. Many Japanese would feel ashamed if you ask them to be interviewed and have the world see their current status. I hope he obtain a good paying job so he can afford a decent house (Tokyo Lens channel shows plenty of small affordable apartments around Tokyo) and also a circle of helpful friends (he will not be on the street if he has some good friends who will help in time of need). I'm rooting for you dude, I wish for you to have Pension when you grow old!

  26739. I think the reason some people show no reaction sometimes is that in the moment, especially when theyre busy like the cook in that little restaurant, you dont notice when someone speaks your native language to you because it just comes so natural to you, and sometimes you just realise later on

    1
  26745. I mean, as globalized the world is nowadays is not absurd that most people wouldnt be shocked even in some very conservative asian countries tho sure a lot of those people wouldnt exactly know how to react since is not a day-to-day occurrence. Either way, those videos Anming mentions surely dont intend to show people not getting shocked. Their whole selling point is not authentic reactions but only surprised ones.

  26752. You film it to bring the knowledge of language learning and being ok to make mistakes, to a wider audience. I started learning Russian and French because I was inspired by Polyglots making conversation in the streets with natives and seeing how happy they are when a foreigner speaks their language.

  26763. I just stumbled upon this video and was very impressed by your language skills. I was also inspired to learn one of those languages. I've been in Japan and learned how to say a few things, and also have the Chineasy book that explains the Chinese characters, so I'm curious, but I'm too busy with family etc to be able to plunge into one of the languages. As a translator I already have a few languages (Swedish, Finnish, English, Spanish, Greek) but always hungry for more. Thanks for a nice video!

  26772. I don’t know anyone stronger than you haha. I think we Michiganders have thick skin. Love how you edited this video too. Sadly all the hate comes with being online and a lot of the hate isn’t always visible. Private messages, podcasts like the one you shared, other videos. A lot of the hate is disguised too or said in a “nice” way. Honestly, people have too much time on their hands 😂 imagine living a life where that’s what you do all day is just criticize. Some people are so unhappy with themselves and their lives. For anyone reading this, you can do and be whatever you want, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Oh, and start using the block, delete, and remove buttons more often. This is your space. You can do what you want with it. ❤️

  26780. Someone HAD to say it. Thank you for speaking out about this! I personally have some level of knowledge in 6 languages. Do I consider myself a polyglot? DEFINITELY NOT. I'm only fluent in two of them (Portuguese - my native tongue - and English), I can speak another one fairly decently (Spanish), I can understand another two well enough (Italian and French) and the last one I'm VERY basic at, even if I've been studying it for years (Finnish). I think people have to be real about the language learning process. YES, it can be fun and even if you're a beginner I think it is important for you to go out and try to use it as much as possible (practice truly is key), but unless you're some sort of one-in-a-million-prodigy (which, well, most people aren't), it's gonna take you years to get to a fluency level. I think these fake polyglot videos can be real damaging in the long run. Sure, at first, people can be inspired to try and learn a language. But, further down the road, these same people seeing these said-polyglot videos can (and will) be disappointed in themselves, and probably think they're some level of dumb, when they realize that they couldn't master this or that language in a couple of months, no matter how much time they dedicated to it - and that couldn't be further from the truth. They just need the proper time to do it.

  26782. Your 日本語 と 中国 is so good! I am trying to learn 日本語 now but its sooo hard I get discouraged easy. I am using japanesepod101, duolingo and lingodeer. Any tips? Also what language do you think in lol? すごいvideo!

  26783. I would totally pay that for a Pikachu cake. Native speakers (except for English-speaking people in the USA it seems) always seem so surprised when a foreigner can speak their language so well. I guess Americans tend to just assume you should know English if you're here.

  26784. awesome video

  26785. It's almost like these algorithms (robots) are pitting youtubers against one another - or trying to twist good meaningful intentions into opposite meanings... you shouldn't have to defend yourself like this. Your viewers like myself know that you are smart, caring and desire to make a good representation of yourself, and of others you film. I love hearing you speak, especially in Chinese because you speak it so well and your tones are perfect! 😊👍❤

  26786. One of my favorite indirect phrases from Mandarin is 我有事🤣🤣 “I have things..” I love it and pretty sure I’ve tried to create an English equivalent. So I’m not saying I don’t want to do something directly but... “ I have things”😆

  26790. Look on the Brightside. After this virus panic passes (and it will pass) toilet paper and many of the other things that panic stricken people are hording now will be dirt cheap because those many panic-buyers will not have to buy any of those same things for a very long time. Another Brightside with regard to the face masks. It kind of levels the playing field for ugly people. They can now put on a mask and feel less self-conscious about themselves when they go out in public. With the mask on basically all we can see are their eyes. Since the eyes are the windows to the soul, those who have grown up thinking they are ugly can now show us all who they are on the inside.

  26791. Won’t mention it as a ‘weird’, but that was one hell of a journey you got there. Wow, just wow.... now i can’t wait to see another video, it’s like waiting for another episode of my fav anime. That’s how excited i am atm.. sugoi! 👊🏻

He was a war veteran and mentioned he had actually been to America as a young man. I felt bad, because the police saw him talking to me and he hurried away when the police approached.

  26814. So I'll say it. The rude "WHAT ARE YOU?" question. You literally get asked if you're Russian all the time. I genuinely think you REALLY give off a certain Slav vibe by the looks, but I am not confident in saying specifically Russian though. Slav I am like 90% sure, just the vibes... And if I am wrong (that you don't have any Slavic blood in you) - I will be DAMN SHOCKED AS the Chinese people shocked at your Chinese hahaha. Only you know so maybe you can dispel our assumption if you're not even of Russian heritage, and if you don't actually know your own heritage, the typical youtuber DNA video is another video topic in the future! Not sure if anyone asked in the comments or if your family background was even discussed in your videos, but it's definitely something I was curious about (and I'm sure everyone else is, no?). So that's an idea for the future. :)

  26846. I wish my German was as good as your Japanese and Chinese. Even though I'm not exactly the best at it, the people I've spoken to when I travel to Germany to see relatives and such are always appreciative and supportive of my attempts to talk with them in a language their comfortable in even if they can speak English well. Plus it's good practice for me!

  26856. Aw, I just realised that my comment wasn't hearted by you. Was it because of the rude joke? If so I apologise. Sometimes it's almost like I can't help it, as if the joke writes itself. I seem to forget that not everyone has the same smutty sense of humour. I'll try to use more self control in the future, but I can't make any promises if I find it really funny. Hope you and your bf are still happy and well. Sayonara.

From my experience, our accent guides are more closely resembles Southern British (a bit more Northern English for Irish English). We aren't used to listening to Northern US accents as we thought African-American or LA/New York/Boston would be the majority.

LOL ride in one and feel onions while doing it, like your going somewhere important. You have you wear a kimono, or a hanbok, and have a big gaudy satin bag with tassels and a jewel with a chinese knot and your outfit has to be that good silk. And you have to have some big rings on your finger, but not the modern ones, the old school carved jade and stone ones from china! Yeah i have a vivid imagination. And when you step off you have to be helped off like a lady. Yes hunty! I would be showing out in Japan!! Rickshaw all the time!!! Everywhere!!

Strangely i understand more in German than chinese,a language that ive been studyoping by myself for only about 2 years. I guess its true what they say,that we are naturally better and what we like. For me i just hated how the chinese language(cantonese sounds better to me) sounds in additon to how diffcult it is to read and write,and german is so much easier for me as i was raised with english as my L1

  26927. Hi, I enjoy your videos, very much. I'm from Michigan as well. I watch them as a "Hey, if I really put some time and effort into it I can also be fluent in another language like this lady! I could live abroad! Or travel and not worry about struggling to communicate! Wouldn't that be awesome!" Like that. I work in a kitchen in a Chinese/Korean restaurant, and there's Spanish, Chinese, Korean and French being spoken at any given time, and I would love it if one day I go to work and I can talk to everyone in their native language, that would be just so cool. And it would also be cool if one day no one watches these videos because we all are polyglots. But there's always gonna be haters. Just consider what they're saying, don't think about it too hard. If it's from a good place, then take the info, if it's from a jealous petty place, then disregard it for what it is. Just my two cents.

  26933. While it's true a short visit like that is greeted with friendliness, it's more out of obligation that honest friendliness. In Japan, treating a guest very well is considered important. So, if you are a foreigner, you are automatically thought of as a guest. But it's totally superficial.

  26934. ouch I always felt uneasy on the top bunk. they need to be required to have railing. unless of course if you fell while climbing

  26940. Another lovely video. I don't have much interest in language learning but really enjoy experiencing life thru your eyes. It's time for you to pull another city from the hat. Is there a ghost town or haunted city to take us to? Are Japanese ghosts polite?

  26952. In today's news: Chinese couple shocked to hear a western blond girl speaking fluent Chinese as if they were gun shots in the area. Reporters claim it was an alias of "Oriental Pearl" who committed the action undercover with her face mask on to hide her identity.

  26953. Hun, the reason the girls were so overly sexualized, is because it was an ecchi... They’re meant to look like that specifically for that book type. There are PLENTY of regularly shaped books.

  26954. After all of those good impressions they didn't offer you the membership card? Unacceptable! Haha ^_^ I share your passion for bubble tea. Calgary has a great bubble tea place in the china town mall and at T&T Market.

  26956. I will never try to understand 'haters', because I am not interested in their lousy life. Some 'language' channels I like, others less.This channel I like a lot, because it's educational, you get some insight of the culture, the reactions of the people are just fun to watch, the vids are very well edited and the host is likable. It's a good mix of why this channel is worth watching. And maybe at other 'language' channels the host spreaks less 'fluent', but who cares. If you don't like it (for whatever reason), you leave and never come back. Sometimes (YT) life is so simple.

  26964. Anmin-chan, where is this quiet forest or park located?

  26965. I like how you started the conversation with the two girls from far away and then DIDN'T move closer. At lot times people will do that: start from far away and then charge at you. That will always make people defensive. If you watch what you are doing and ask yourself if you would want someone to do that to you, that can work much better -- but no guarantees. One thing in your favor, however, when people are out in public they sort of instinctively understand that they are more vulnerable to people approaching them, and they allow for that -- unless they get the slightest impression you have an agenda and want something from them. And that kind of behavior is really easy to spot.

  27011. What were you making in the studio? And how do the younger Japanese, like Tommy, feel about the diminishing rural population and presumably culture? So many questions. I realise you were on only there on holiday not as a journo. Can’t wait to visit one day. Awesome video. Thank you!

  27013. well the 330 ml redbull is actually quite large in america (12 oz when the normal redbull is 8 oz) honestly, i'd be a fan of a smaller redbull so i can drink more throughout the day rather than just one or two a day (i am a student, and soon ill have a part time job, so i am a redbull expert)

  27016. Congratulations to your new beginnings!! I just wanted to say thank you because I came across your videos and you introduced me to a new language learning app. I'm struggling with learning French probably because I only speak one language English.

  27053. Would love more japanese speaking videos
    1
  27054. "Locals nonplussed when white westerner speaks their language". Wow, eight views! The algorithm would bury that one fast. It was encouraging to hear the "get some help" talk, I sometimes get frustrated with my lack of progress in Japanese. Maybe I'll find a teacher. I have been trying out some new online platforms too, to keep it fresh.

  27055. How long did it take you to speak Japanese so good?

  27056. omg!!! i was crying laughing at this!!!

  27057. Hope you read this comment cause wow is it crazy to come back to your channel and see you at 500K subscribers. WOW THAT IS CRAZY. I still remember watching your videos for the first time in Feb of 2020 when I was on deployment. Just from your early content I took a BIG interest in learning foreign language and applying it to everyday life. Ever since then I have been very intrigued with learning a language and then learning about the country which has shown me that there is more in the world than just my city in America. Just by learning a little bit of a new language has given me new friends, invites to homes, and a new hobby. I'm gonna be honest when I say that you were the person who pushed me over the edge and I cannot thank you enough for that. In case no one has told you this, you're doing great and things can only get greater from here. I wish you well in your Career and your YouTube Journey. Continue to show us the great things East Asia has to offer.

Or DTW just gets a hell of a lot of traffic being a hub city (I think?)

This one is huge,because you get married and you learn to share things on small space,with one you love. Not easy,but with compromise,( do what your wife tells you😂😂😂😂), and no problems.Cheers girl,all the best. Stay healthy,happy and have a lot of money.🌹

  27086. Jeez you're such a chatterbox lol. Glad I came across this video and got to know you. Speaking of which, I didn't know you had to leave China because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I still have friends (from Ukraine) in Shanghai for school and they haven't returned home yet so I don't know if it's a must for y'all to leave. Anyways love your videos and keep rollin'! - From Seattle WA, based in Taipei for work as a linguist (speak Japanese, Mandarin, English, German and some Russian and Ukrainian).

  27097. I enjoy the way the people react to you when you speak to them in Mandarin and or Japanese. It reminds me of when I use to have interact with the flight crews on JAL. I worked for JAL 25 yrs in the Cabin Service department. I was In charge of catering the flight from Chicago to Japan. It was funny to see the Stewardess get flustered when I spoke Japanese. Keep those great vlogs coming.

  27099. I learned French and German at school, and German and Arabic at university. I now live in France with dual Britain and French nationality. I'm also a musician. I've used ALL my languages professionally and music too. I have experienced jealousy and downright bullying all my life from those in my entourage - "friends" whom I trusted. Fortunately I've been able to distance myself from them but their behaviour was an enormous disappointment, leading to depression. Now I'm very careful with whom I spend my time. I didn't listen to the video because I thought it might trigger some upset. Languages and music set you free ☮️❤.
    1
  27100. thank you for that speech in the beginning:) I’ve been trying to expand my Spanish levels, my mom is from Honduras and I was upset about the fact that I couldn’t fluently speak a language from my own culture. It’s hard to learn a new language but definitely possible!

  27104. I myself don’t consider to be a 100% polyglot. I love learning languages, but the only one so far that I can say I’m somewhat fluent, besides my mother language, is English. But I’m still a language-learning enthusiast, and do find it kind of easy to learn new languages, that’s why I have the mark of knowing at least a little bit of 10 foreign languages 😅 but I do need to work on them a little bit more xD

  27109. I think Japan is really doing itself a disservice with its current corona related regulations. Not even letting their permanent residents in is ridiculous. I had dreams of buying property in Japan, but with how things are now I really cant see myself doing that, it just seems so risky. As far as I heard China is the same (see your example, you have a place there right? But cant get back in?), has that changed your future plans at all? I'm still happy I studied the language though! Sorry for ranting here.

  27127. Kawasaki and Opama in the Tokyo area also has a lot of Brazilian, Peruvian and Brazilian stores. Not only there in Places like Okinawa as well. In Tokyo there are many Brazilians Famous restaurants and even Brazilians Schools, many Japanese people are also very familiar and appreciate Brazilian culture, music, samba, capoeira etc… There are also samba schools in Tokyo and even a Carnival parade in Asakusa. There is a lot that connect Japan with Brazilian and Peruvians. Peru also had a Japanese decent president “ Fujimore”.

  27136. I've been a fan of yours for a long time. I love the way you use the camera and YouTube to let other people in other countries learn and know about Japan. I've been a long time lover of Japan and its culture. I know a few words and phrases in Japanese but not fluent at all lol. I think no matter what people do there is going to be haters out there. Just know that you have a fan base that loves and respects you for what you do. There was one guy that was criticizing Lisa for having a big nose and a long chin and another that was criticizing your teeth and face etc...but then they say they are sick of girls coming on YouTube trying to be sexy to get subscribers...? Huh!? You can't have it both ways. Either you're trolling for subscribers or you are physically unattractive. It makes no sense because hating is not logical. Keep doing what you're doing Anming and your loyal fans will stick with you through thick and thin.

  27144. If you have the skill and creative talent, gently sprinkled with a monumental load of dedication you may be lucky enough to make a living from something you love. The sad reality for most is a mundane and repetitive job to support your existence, if you're fortunate to actually have a job. All I was good at and the only thing I loved at school was art, then over the years I let it slip away which is a real bummer. To get by in this life by doing something you enjoy is never a workday, but some of those artists looked like they were chained to their sketchbook or laptop, almost a slave to the machine. I guess I'm just a frustrated artist that hasn't achieved anything through my gift.

  27145. Oh my gosh, I clicked on this video soooooooo fast, especially when I saw your wedding dress in your thumbnail!!!!! Congratulations Anming, I'm so happy for you, you looked beautiful as usual, and your hubby is so cute and sweet, not to mention he has a great sense of humor as you do also. I wish you many happy years together and great health, you two are geniune humble people. The Japanese culture is so polite and beautiful, I can see how you love and embrace it. May your marriage be blessed with happiness, joy and eventually children. It's a pleasure to watch your videos.......🌻🥰

  27161. I speak Cantonese English and taishan dialect but I can learn Japanese because my cousin is half japanese so he can teach me easily. finding motivation to learn is hard and the urgency to stop because it gets boring is easy so.
    1
  27162. There's something call humbleness, respect. The people who speak many languages... a big part of them have the money to living and travel in other countries. That's is not possible for many people. Is like a classic American guy shows he's new Lamborghini. When do you show your skills you have to also keep and have a little bit of humble. Do you know about languages but nothing about cultures. Sorry for my English. I'm a light brown guy who don't speak English.

  27170. hi! just wanted to say that i love your videos and they’ve helped me to get more confidence to talk with dutch speakers here in the US. i’d normally be too nervous to do that as i’m naturally a big introvert but after seeing your videos and how you basically said that most of the time people will be friendly, i decided to do it. i came across a dutch man and his son at the airport yesterday in Orlando! they were coincidentally sitting next to me at the gate and i overheard them speaking dutch so a bit later i took the plunge and asked if they were on vacation in dutch. he seemed really surprised lol and we had a great and pretty lengthy conversation 100% in Dutch! there wasn’t a need for anyone to slow down or repeat something, it was really natural. i’m in between a B1 and B2 level. i know getting out and talking to people is a great way to practice so i’m doing that a lot more now. thanks for your great and inspiring videos!

  27172. These things indeed happen. I once went to Washington with my brother and gf to visit the capitol. We’ve made an appointment to visit but there was something going on outside of the capitol. Some sort of fire or something. We had to leave the premises while the officer cocked his AR-15. Quite bizar.

  27173. Great video! Though, I mean ... not exactly surprising result. Might have also been interesting to observe reactions when switching between Japanese and English in the same conversation, multiple times.

There are more and more Youtubers doing videos like these but you have your own unique style and approach. It is such a breath of fresh air

  27182. well lets go back！哈哈

  27183. I have a question for you, I started studying japanese a month and a half ago, im super excited and really want to learn, im very motivated and I want to learn so bad and really dedicated. I was wondering what you think about my current plan. First I learned hiragana and katakana. Now I started learning kanji and kanji vocabulary words on a site called WaniKani. There are 60 levels on this site, on level 60 you know like 8000 kanji+words, and my goal is to get to level 10 now, and then start grammar using LingoDeer and maybe some online sources. Ive read that its good to learn a decent amount of kanji and vocabulary first before grammar because it makes it easier. So once I reach level 10 I will just add grammar and do both. What do you think?

  27193. Hallo Mrs Pearl. Ive been following you for a long time now. Im a bit curious about what kind of music you listen to. Im a big anime fan since many years. Therefore I like much music from anime. I also really like hardrock and metal. And 2 of my absolute favorite bands are Lovebites (all female metal group from japan). And BandMaid (all female hardrock group from japan)... Im a bit curious about what you like and/or of you or youre husband have heard any of this bands. If not I would recommend you to discover them. And even better see them live as you live there. Or maybe as suggestion, do a YT video about music in general at where you currently are staying... Sends you and youre husband all the love from Stockholm Sweden/ Jonny

  27209. It's very surprising that they let you film! Normally Japanese people are very private, especially on an event like this. I also have a very special family in Japan so I learned from them. They are super traditional but, I love it because I get to learn things from older traditional style Japanese.

  27227. I don't like the idea of a rigid fluency, normally I would also have problems speaking about certain things in a certain way in my mother tongue since I can't possibly know everything about my own language, however, you can fully express yourself with simple phrases and simple words, you can even explain difficult concepts this way and that's usually how I speak English and Spanish (My mother tongue) this very video is a good example I'd say, you never used any uncommon vocabulary and kept your english simple even though you were talking seriously about a topic. My general aim when learning a language is simply to express myself in one way or another, and to be able to watch movies without subtitles (except for those weird words that only show up in specific situations), that's how I would define "fluency" if I was threatened with a gun, because, what does fluency even means? Nobody talks about that. I wouldn't call myself fluent in English but I can have meaningful conversations and that's what I want. PD: Making translations from one language to another it's hard, because I learn words by context and not so much by direct translation so I get why someone's video might have messy subs (up to some point)

  27231. Congratulations. You both looked amazing. I must have missed my invitation in the mail, ha ha. Another ceremony back home later would be nice.
    1
  27232. Actually I would be extremely flattered if I could get compliments about my speaking a foreign language from the native speakers. It would give me encouragement and confidence to continue to learn and improve. It is I'm sure very much the exception for Chinese and Japanese people to meet foreigners who speak their language so fluently and as such it genuinely is something for them to remark upon and indeed, to genuinely and justifiably praise you for your fluency. I think you should be extremely proud of what you have achieved through all of your hard work and dedication. I work with several people whose native language is not English and I have complimented them on their fluency even if it's not perfect. I hope I am encouraging them. I'd hate to think that I was being inadvertently condescending. 😧 Very nice video Anming. 👍

  27264. I couldn't stop smiling all the way through the video, these sorts of things are the true value of learning new languages in my opinion 😊💖
    1
  27265. The polyglot videos are kind of a scam though because it tries to make it seem like learning languages is easy and trivializes the process of learning a language with these videos of people saying a well practiced sentence but they often dont have basic knowledge of the language or sentence structure. Meanwhile, someone like Oriental Pearl is busting her butt to learn Japanese and Chinese the right way. I studied Japanese for a long time and still lose a lot of meaning when I hear things and I am slow to formulate sentences. Then I hear supposed polyglots bumbling around "shocking people" with their Japanese.

  27266. yeah...they just bullshitting..but you are real..u are a genious

  27267. I assume they think your Russian because they see more Russians in that part of the world. Americans don't get to Japan often. If they do it's in touristy areas. Probably.

  27281. This is cool!! 😍😍😍 I really want to learn to speak japanese, and like visit the country and learn more about it. I learned hiragana before and finished my online lesson with writing hiragana *cause it was free 😅*, but i have forgotten about it cause it was around 10yrs ago i think. I had a hard time with the two other writings, not sure if it was kanji and katakana anymore. Hahahaha. But yeah. Im 26yrs old now and I really wish I could still learn the basics. ❤❤❤

  27294. Oriental Pearl, your so kind and funny! And I need to thank you for inspiring me to do my best to learn Japanese! My end goal is to speak Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. But I want to focus just on Japanese for now. I'm getting old but I believe I can still learn a language if I work hard enough. I learned how to build my own computer so why not a language to build a bridge between people groups. So again, thank you!

  27305. The one time where I felt like the Japanese person saying my nihongo was jouzu was when the lady asked me if my mother was Japanese. At that time, my Japanese was actually still fairly beginner level, but my pronunciation was pretty decent with the little bit of Japanese I could speak at the time. You can seem really jouzu even if your Japanese is really limited so long as you have a lot of practice with a few really common basic topics (I think that's how a lot of these polyglots make it seem like they are a lot more fluent than they really are, but then once the native speaker starts to stray into something more complex, the polyglot starts just nodding their head and you can tell the conversation has gone out of their depth). That Finnish polyglot in this video sounds really dang native-like, though.

  27313. Extremely impressed, but it is very hard to confused japanese with chinese, mandarin or cantonese, totally different languages. Even as I know im not fluent in both yet, I can still tell. Also I have no vocabulary in cantonese but it is much different from mandarin and can be distinguished easily.. hao, or hou-aa for example or you mei you.. vs gou m'gou

Koreans also kept asking if my daughter and i were russian lol (blonde hair blue eyes) IM SO GLAD YOU MENTION 9 OUT OF 10 DONT REACT! when ive mentioned that koreans didnt really comment on my korean people on insta and amino are surprised. Like my korean must suck. Then you have moments like in 강릉 where the starbucks barista complimented me just for saying 감사합니다 lol she repeated in english cause she thought i didnt understand... but rly it just took me off guard and i kind of froze cause ive said complicated things with no reaction and now all of a sudden im praised just for saying thanks and ordering in konglish?? 😂 so i just stood there like 😶😶😶

  27330. Dear Oriental Pearl, It's such a nice thing to see you so fluent. Maybe I can use you to help me out on a secret mission in Japan. I'm looking to take off the limiter off of Japan's language barrier. The Limiter requires a great deal of knowledge. How fluent do you think America is at speaking Japanese? Since you show a great deal. It's game we play. Thanks Anthony

  27334. May god bless you and the others. Be with the Chinese make sure you truthly nice to them and trust me they will treat you real nice. Never treat then bad and they will bring you benefit in life. I Love Chinese people, they are nice when you treat them right. The truth they are many nerds (in a good way)and they have their own ways to make friends. That is why they are smart and hardworking, nothing will stop them in creating anything. Have fun and never stop learning. The westerners should try to know China people too but with true love and they will know more how nice are the China people..... I had the chance to know them truthly and i would say overall, they are real ok🙏

  27336. You guys are too polite and just call it for what it's worth - fakers. I grew up in Asia and immigrated to US when I was very young and due to family circumstances, I had to learn and several Chinese dialects among a few other languages. It's incredibly difficult to "master" a language, let alone a few. There are people out there learn a few words to string together a few sentences with a lot of mispronunciations, and advertise themselves are multilingual is just laughable. I once had someone try to talk to me in Chinese and boast how others tell him that is very good, but he was horrible. The issue is a lot of people are trying to be polite and feed into this issue by playing into these fakers' ego.

  27340. I live in the U.S. & here English is the main language but Spanish is our second one. Most people here know a little Spanish at least. Still, people are genuinely surprised when they hear me speaking Spanish with fluidity! Like, they get REALLY excited & happy. Sometimes I feel bad because I don't deserve that much praise for doing a little over the bare minimum. I get it though, they don't expect a gringa to speak their language, & in fact they're probably used to ppl telling them to speak theirs instead 😞 so it's very surprising for someone that looks like me to speak like them Either way, they usually end up smiling by the end of our conversations, so it makes me happy too :)

  27370. Google tells a little about the salted statue - they're Jizo/Ojizosama(?) and the "Daily Onigiri" page explains: "People believe the salt will bring luck, clean the soul and make their wishes come true. When someone has a wish, they take some of the salt home. In return, next time they bring back new salt and pour it on the statue. If the wish comes true, they tend to bring back even bigger amounts of salt."

  27371. i would guess its not that they arent surprised is just that they dont wanna show what they really think, its just how they are

  27372. I am in a very interesting position. Okay, I was born in northeast Afghanistan in a small city called Feyzabad. (beautiful place I only hope the current Taliban does not destroy it!) This was even before the Taliban existed! Do I know (or being fluent in the Dari language? The answer is NO! I went with my family first to the Netherlands then switzerland and across the Pond to eastern Canada. So I never had a real chance to learn Dari. Now am I a polyglot? Weel... I know some words and phrases of many languages -- inclusive of 日本語 (Japanese language) -- Deutsch (eignetlich Bärndütsch) some French and Italiano. I can speak some Portuguese, Galego, and Spannish as well. So though not necessarily 100% fluent but enough to get by. The only two languages I have with high degree of fluency is German ( both Hochdeutsec and Schweizerdeutsch).and English. Born into a country that uses Dari (a for of Persian) then Swiss german and French, then English after winding up in Canada.

I don't have a lot of understanding about modern day Japanese society so it's an eye opener. Keep up the good work and thanks for everything you do ❤ When did you become Alyssa?, I thought your name was Anming? I don't know how I confused this two 😅😂
    1
  27377. That’s a interesting topic which coincidentally I mentioned in my presentation recently. When Chinese respond to the compliment, their normal reaction would be denial, but in my report I said many young people tend to say thank you, even make a joke or tease to the compliment, based my experience. I..e, you look thinner. Oh, really, thank you. I didn’t see someone respond as no, I am fatter.

  27388. So when they want to speak in Portuguese it is a total disaster. First the grammar is horrible, then they speak with a Brazilian accent. You can see that they are only at the beginning and that they even understand what they say but they are far from being reasonable.

  27402. One huge problem about the English edcation in east Asia is that every student are forced to learn English to pass the exam.I believe in the states studentd can at least choose between Spanish and France for their second language. Most children in Asia do not believe they will use English in a practical meaning, and just not that much into learnibg it. Stay safe, love your video.

  27453. You are a great motivator! I am still quite the beginner at Japanese and it's part of why I am starting my Youtube channel early in my language journey. I want people to see the process early on, and most Youtubers who talk about foreign language learning are already conversational if not fluent by the time they start doing Youtube, so we don't get to see the mistakes and the struggles as much, and I think that because of that when people make mistakes they feel like something is wrong with THEM, not realizing it is a normal thing all language-learners go through. This is especially the case for solo and at-home learners who don't have peers from the get-go to make mistakes together with. I had some really serious health problems in the last few months, right as I was about to start doing my channel, so that got in the way... but I'm nearly better now and about to get back to it and hit it hard! My goal is to be reasonably fluent in Japanese and visit Japan by 2025! Ahem, if you'll excuse me I need to stop watching Youtube and get to work. 😅

  27456. I live in the USA in California. There's only a few millions of Korean, Mandarin, and Cantonese speakers in the USA and there's a few of them in California. There's only about five hundred thousand Japanese speakers in the USA and there's a few of them in California. Even though I'm learning Spanish because way more Spanish speakers in the USA in than people speaking the East Asian Languages in the USA including California and Arizona. Maybe I can learn those East Asian Languages after I learn Spanish and French. I would like to learn Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin in a few years in the future. I probably don't want to learn Cantonese because Cantonese has way more tones than Mandarin. Anyway I do believe you can learn any language of the world without leaving your country .

  27458. Weddings?! Damn girl! Congrats! I remember when you had 1500 followers and I watched your 2nd video. Youve gone far after that as a youtuber and in your private life. PM me if you guys even come to nordic countries.

  27462. Japanese people are pretty shy about language exchanges so I end up doing pretty much the same thing. I think I sent out 30 messages Friday night on Tandem to voice chat and got two replies. They were slow to reply too but I'm happy they replied and we got to talk. At some point I'm going to have to chat with some Chinese people but I'm nervous about that since I've been studying not even two months.

  27472. Hey I’m really slow, what’s the odd thing about the woman at 6:23 ? Watched a billion times but I can’t see anything! Edit: I watched the whole video. Creepy Edit 2: Love the message towards the end about how people from different countries can get along. That’s the reason why I love learning languages and I think people should try to learn at least one foreign language in their life.

  27473. In a smaller city in china I was in an elevator with my daughter, she was 8 at the time. A couple entered and said, “wow she is beautiful” in Chinese. I told them in Chinese that she looks quite normal in America, it is only her blond hair that makes her appear beautiful in China… T he look on their faces was priceless.

  27478. Surprisingly, as a white person, I know what a (Japanese) Futon is. I don't think I've ever called one of those weird Couch-Bed things a "futon". Those are just convertible couches. lol I've always lived in the suburbs of southern California, so I think that's why I admire the City so much, but I think I'd feel at home living in the countryside of Japan. Where I live certainly isn't as green as Japan's Countryside, it's pretty um... dead grass-y.

  27479. Interesting videos, seeing the different reactions. I’m living in Japan also, 197cm tall, so I’ll never fit in here! Even after 10 years, my Japanese is just so so, but I still like seeing the reactions. Most people suspect I know zero Japanese of course.

  27481. Nice I enjoyed this. It encourages me to study more.

  27482. Love your videos. It's a dream to go to Japan for me. I would love to learn japanese but there's no school here in Aruba and there's almost no Japanese poeples that lives here.

  27483. I personally find it to be FAR more fulfilling to learn a few languages to a native degree (sometimes higher depending on how long you study it), as opposed to learning many, but only enough to cover basic topics. When you reach native-level capability, you gain the unique ability to COMPLETELY experience many aspects of the culture that require such a level of fluency, including a lot of comedy, books (!), a lot of authentic history, etc. And, when you get to that point, you've probably even learned parts (or the entirety) of a dialect or two; the experiences you get from that are incomprable. (There is a LOT of hype about speaking; but while speaking and writing is often overlooked, I find also that, with distressing regularity, LISTENING is barely talked about in comparison. You set a good example because you, well, KNOW the languages you claim to, and don't turn an entire culture into an amusement park in your videos. It's actually a place, with actual people, with actual conversations! It's fantastic!) I'm part Japanese, but depite being surrounded by that culture here in the states with my family, I could barely speak it until a few years ago, when I decided to go out and try to study it by myself. It's been tough, and I still have a long, LONG way to go, but your progress and experiences inspire me to push forward towards my dream of becoming proficient in my family's tongue, Chinese, Korean, and French. (I do have plans to go to each and study the language there, of course o.o [コロナが十月ころになくなるなら静岡県に住んでいる日本人の家族と一年くらい泊まる予定なんですよ！]) I love the channel, the videos, and you! Keep it up! いつも動画を作ってくださって本当にありがとうございます！これからも頑張ってくださいねぇ！ あっ、忘れてたんです！この動画を自分の祖母に見せて、祖母は「わー、すごい！白人だって日本語日本人っぽいね！」と言いました。聞きたいことかもしれないですけど<3

  27484. Your videos are always so entertaining and educational. Unfortunately trolls lately feel empowered by so many others trolls in the news media, that has brought them out in public and anonymously through the internet to spread their vicious hate. They've always been around but hidden in the shadows and darkness. And some day they will slither back off into that darkness. Just remember they are the minority, just very noisy. Keep up the good work for the majority of us who appreciates and gains by it. Keep it up.

  27487. Thank you for this video. I am going to be applying for a school in Tokyo in about a month. I have so many anxieties about it but it has been a dream of mine for so long. Part of my anxiety is that I’m a bit of an older student and not in my 20’s. But it is a dream and, anyway, I really have enjoyed your videos. Thank you :)
    1
  27488. This was a really important discussion to have, and widened my perspective on these kinds of videos, especially street videos... Constructive criticism is indeed key to learning and the both of you put this across so well in this debate. Keep up the great work guys!

First year anniversary is coming up next month and we have a baby on the way in January!

  27511. So interesting ! During this time in Switzerland, everybody thinks we are racists, but, for example, we have 84 official foreign nationalities in Geneva, in reality much more. Only asking which country people are coming from, by kind curiosity, is considered racist..So you to have to show no interest, pretending nobody is different. What a pitty.

  27525. My friend and I are trying to enroll in a language school and go to Japan this year if it's possible. We have an interview from that school this coming week. And our goals are exactly like what you said about those who are there to study and work. I am trying my best but if the results come out negative and even if I can't go, I won't be unhappy that much since plane ticket to Japan alone is expensive enough. I feel like a burden to my family as well. So even if I don't get the Visa, I will probably be ok. But I won't stop learning Japanese tho. It's not easy but pretty fun to learn a whole new language from scratch.

  27536. Hey Pearl, I'm trying to learn Mandarin. I would say I am an intermediate proficiency. Currently I have a tutor once a week and then spend the rest of the week looking at flashcards that I create from vocabulary that I have picked up during the tutoring session. How can I take this to the next level though? Should I start attending actual in person classes (when I move to Taiwan in April), or should I just increase the frequency of my tutoring sessions? Thanks!

  27542. Asians tent to double/triple say the same word like in Malaysia we can actually say “I’ll call u later.”, but out of habit we say “Call u later. Call u later. Ya ya! Call u later!” Like seriously...as if our signal was bad. 😂 So, basically this is the Asian habit, not only Japan. Another thing is that if I don’t know the direction I would often direct them to the information counter(if they r indoors) or say “sorry I don’t know.” Nth to be prideful about~ I live my whole life in the capital city, but I don’t know much about the places here... so... If I was tested, I’m sure to fail to be a citizen here 😂

  27555. I love living in the countryside. I find that people here are much more respectful of my own space, I feel like I stand out more in Tokyo and Osaka because every time I’ve been I’ve had people talk about me in Japanese thinking I don’t understand them.

  27557. I suppose that's one of those things you you'd have to weigh on a balance before considering moving to a foreign country - whether you'll be able to tolerate how the locals will think of you. If not, then it would probably be best for you to not move there at all; you can't expect the locals to change their attitudes just for you, whether you perceive their actions towards you to be mean or not.

  27560. This control the kids nonsense usually only stems from Chinese work culture meaning they think more pressure equals better results. Trust me I had a friend try this, they kept complaining so he gave up and put mickey mouse cartoons on for the whole class and he was congratulated for improving. They usually aren't paying any attention to how your teaching it's usually fake pressure and then after a while they'll lay off and then put pressure back on you again. If you're good at your job you'll find that you only get more classes without any extra pay. I taught in China for 2 years and made many mistakes and received lots of unpaid overtime until I twigged on.

One thing you didn’t touch on is that the “OMG I LEARNED A LANGUAGE IN 2 SECONDS” videos never learn listening, which as you said, is a half of the language they usually skip And about the money, you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

  27592. It’s incredible the hospitality you can receive if you make a small effort at language learning. Taiwan looked like so much fun! I’ve always wanted to go there as well. I was watching your update stories on Facebook too. 💜 I went on holiday myself to Prince Edward Island in Canada and just got back to my home province in Nova Scotia. I went on a boat ride, floating boardwalk over the ocean, lighthouses, beaches, a historic tour of Charlottetown, Anne Green Gables, and lots of shopping. Have you ever been to Canada?

  27596. I'm a huge language guy, and here in America at least, I think a lot of monolinguals are very eager to bestow "wow super genius polyglot", so I wonder how many are just lured into it. People are always eager to think you speak tons of languages just because you have basic understanding. I wonder how many of them started humble, and just rolled with it after getting all the WOW YOU'RE SO SMART I always dread the "How many languages do you speak?" question, "Well, I definitely know English, Spanish is decent I guess, Chinese I guess I'm half a phrasebook..."

  27603. I do watch Xiomas channel, but I don't comment to him. I can see through the pretend. I am entertained, but I take it as it is, knowing that your abilities and your honesty about language learning has helped me see the truth of what others are lacking. His own channel gave away his lack of skill as well. The biggest thing I saw was when he was speaking Chinese in China and a younger guy actually asked if he was Xioma and when Xioma spoke, the younger guy then said "oh you can't be Xioma, you don't speak that well". I also saw another video where a college age kid said "oh I thought you would be better, your Chinese isn't so good". I have never seen anyone say that to you. The opposite actually. We can be entertained but I hope we are not fooled. Thank you for always being honest. ❤

  27617. I grew up in Japan in the early 70's and lived on a military installation since my father was in the service. Such a different time then. I am half Japanese and my mother would take my twin brother and I off the military base to go shopping. As we were walking to the various places my mother liked to visit, there would be hoards of school children surround us essentially lining up in single file in front of us. One by one they would speak the few basic words they knew in English. I was about 12 years old and shy so the attention wasn't exactly welcomed but I made it through just fine. Back then, it wasn't as common to see Americans or in my case, half-Japanese people just walking around. I finally made it back to Japan in 2018 and it has certainly changed. I was no longer the rare find for Japanese to practice their English on. I will say that I was very happy to see that Japan had remained mainly Japanese. I was so afraid to return to a Japan that was too Westernized but was pleasantly surprised. These videos from Oriental Pearl has certainly inspired me to step up my game and start learning more Nihongo.

  27618. Home is where your heart is. And whats wrong about that? Just because you don't look Asian doesn't mean you aren't integrated into another culture and live it. I don't get ppl sometimes lol.

  27632. For learning a language recording yourself speaking it in daily situations is SO important. You will be able to see your progress and your mistakes. I don’t think the street videos are about connection it is about learning. With learning though it opens up the ability to connection. At the end of the day click-bait titles are lies. Shocking titles marketing tips. That comes with the territory. It is a sad reality of marketing and the internet.

  27634. Just moved up to first place blogger for Japanese (Nihon). I like how slow you spoke Japanese. Most bloggers that speak Japanese seems to race through their words. Trying to learn Japanese before I come visit next year. I know words and really small phrases, but not in a way that I could hold a conversation. Keep the videos coming and I will continue watching! Stay safe and healthy!!!

  27635. I was there in the street of sensoji temple in an old woman’s chopsticks shop and she talked to me in japanese and she was really surprised I was able to speak it at least at a basic level😂 so I guess not everybody just speaks english with foreigners😂

  27642. Well, thanks for this video, I am one of those who believed that those videos were true! I'm studying japanese and I started to think that maybe I have to learn two languages at once because I thought it was possible. Thanks for saying the truth!

  27643. Gratitude ❤❤❤❤❤

  27644. So cool and awesome of your language abilities speaking Chinese and Japanese. I enjoy watching the shock on their faces when you are speaking their language. Thanks for sharing and to inspire us that any language is not difficult to learn.

  27654. Have you encountered any backlash when not wearing a mask or giving a handshake? In America (northeast) people are still not wearing masks but they are avoiding all physical contact. Just a curious question. I wonder if it's different for the different generations too. The middle age people here seem to not care about any of it. The younger tend to avoid touching but still don't wear masks. The elderly are scared and don't seem to know what to do.

  27659. I went to visit my brother in tokyo in 1998...he had been there 3 yrs...i learned some basic japanese before i came...studied about 2 weeks....when i was in Japan my brothers japanese friend said i sounded more japanese than he did....too funny....but to all naysayers....it can be done if your willing to try...i may get back on it again with pimsleur

  27660. you suddenly become an celeb 😂
    1
  27661. I not sure what got me to start watching your videos but I actually enjoy them a lot. I have been to Japan several times for six months or so and learn some basic conversation and found that I would get a lot more respect when I greeted them in Japanese but I got freaked out one time in Hiroshima when I got mobbed by 30 to 40 Japanese girls wanting to speak to me in English since they all learn it in school. They actually asked me if I could come back more often so I could carry on conversations with them in English. It was fun but I definitely didn't know Japanese like they knew English but they were fine with that.
    1
  27662. I love your videos you and my son inspired me to learn Spanish.

  27664. Great video! Well said.

  27665. I wouldn’t say it’s outrageous for people to assume he’s not Japanese. He doesn’t look Japanese and if he speaks English how would anyone know he was from Tokyo. It would be a large assumption that a white guy with a seemingly American accent was not American and speaks fluent Japanese.
    1
  27666. All I can say is Oh My Goodness. Honestly my new favorite youtube channel. I'm also American, and I have learned Chinese and always had a fascination with the Japanese language. Seeing your channel has made me realize I can actually achieve my dream/goal of becoming decently fluent in all three languages. It was so cool to see your channel!
    1
  27667. lmao as a half Japanese person, I speak perfect Japanese accent wise, but because I grew up in the US, my vocab is pretty lacking, and reading and writing is extremely lacking, so I wish I could live in Japan to fix that!!

  27668. Awesome video

  27671. There's nothing with with learning maybe 50~100 phrases and their meanings, and understanding tourist level grammar, why most people (including me) is when the demeanor changes to a "master of all languages"

  27673. very humbling and what a nice soul. x uve made me pick up learning Japanese. big hugs.

  27674. 🇨🇦 I just came across your videos…so very interesting. My grandparents (Caucasian) went to Kobe Japan in the early 1930’s for business and lived there until the 1980’s when they came to Canada (west coast). My first cousins were born there, and most of my Dad’s siblings stayed in Japan during WW 2. My Dad left before Pearl Harbor and came to Canada sponsored by a relative here. My cousins moved here from Japan in the 1980’s. They got off the plane here and said “Look at all the foreigners” because that’s what they were called in Japan and now they were seeing most everyone looking just like them. Whenever they meet Japanese here, they always surprise them, by their fluent no accented Japanese as they grew up in Japan and didn’t come here until after High School.

  27675. I was kinda pissed when the Chinese lady said people from Fujian can't speak mandarin well I was even angrier realizing she is right

  27683. These two guys are certainly legit..I really like their style and their level of competence..they are great language learners 🇮🇹
    1
  27684. I only accept the "traditional teaching" argument if that teacher is world class with provable results.Otherwise self-study can be just as good if you're strategic about it.Yet not many are strategic about it.It's work smart and hard...not just work hard.And there are some polyglots that are almost a C1 in 4-5 languages. They just are not among those that like to make videos like xiaoma and laoshu. xiaoma and others that do those kind of videos do it because it attracts a lot of views(and $) and might create some motivation to beginners to actually start something and not keep inventing excuses. Luca Lampariello is a good example of someone who mastered multiple languages at a high enough level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsyaiY80CNs For actual mastery you do have to interact with people in environments you want to be proficient at, no one's denying that.I do agree with the fact that most people who just do demo videos of speaking 10 languages might look "amazing" if you're monolingual.But once you become a polyglot the magic of those kind of videos fades away because you're on the inside and know what's going on,know that their level is very basic in almost all their demo languages.
    1
  27685. Luca has a C2 certificate in english, spanish, french and german.But while he has them,unless he practices them very much his certifications can easily not represent his actual ability today.The point is...not all polyglots are just dabblers.

  27707. I see a lot of love in the comments here, and most of the times kind comments are harder to take in than mean ones(speaking from experience :P ) But I hope you reading these are an exception from the rule. I stumbled over your channel a couple of days ago, and I've set myself a goal to learn or atleast try to learn Japanese myself. So thank you so much for the inspiration! You keep doing you, Anming! You're doing great! :)

  27710. Hello madam, I hope you will have an answer for my trouble as I am learning japanese as many people watching your videos. I find interesting the point of view you give on things there and I am grateful about it. My tourment right now is that as many people consider japanese a very hard language, to what extent do you think it is possible to learn japanese all by yourself? I have read some grammaticals books and know around 400 kanjis for my vocabulary and want to get to at least 1000 kanjis knowledge. Problem is I hardly find any way to improve my fluency as I do not practice it in real, and I can not divide what vocabulary and verbs are commonly used and wich are existing but no one use.

  27711. The one day I decide to stay up late and I'm actually catching a video early, awesome

  27725. I noticed when you are walking with your American friend that you didn't stop as much as you do when your Japanese or Chinese friend ( sorry if I called him different then what he is) try stopping at a few places with your American friend and speak there language and see what kind of reaction you get..I'm sure it will be totally different then if you just walk around in the street 😊

  27727. This was a fantastic video Anming. Thank you so much for bringing this subject to light and making/editing this video. You are by far my favourite person to watch and since finding you I don’t bother with the other person I used to follow at all. Your content is authentic, legit and not claiming huge claims you’re just you and I love it. Thank you for constantly providing content for us during this pandemic. Love from Ireland 😊

  27731. Interesting! I did not know Japanese did Halloween, I'm guessing it's only in major cities like Tokyo that has a heavier western influence, i doubt they do Halloween in the more rural areas? I have you beat though, i have not celebrated Halloween in 20-22 years lol. To be honest i always seen it as a kids holiday, companies don't even give you off on Halloween that I've worked for. I feel adults who celebrate it is younger adults like in 20's doing it for the parties which honestly is an area of life I've skipped.

  27764. I love the word differences and how each native language speaker has different interpretations of what the correct translation of words are! I guess that’s why translators almost always only work on shorter phrases and sentences.

  27765. The rickshaw guys were mad cute 👀

  27766. Interesting topic, thank you for this. For me, Youtube is more a source of entertainment however, if I do learn something out of the presenters video, then that's great. Languages has never been a main interest to me, so I guess I'm easily impressed on individuals whom speak multiple languages fluent or not. But, I see the main point on how non-native speakers of any language that can be a "fake polyglots out there pretending to be fluent speakers." and thus, profiting/making money from either their knowledge and/or otherwise. Perhaps, only time will tell for these types of individuals, whom continue down that road with their chosen languages. Great job! keep up the good work.

  27774. For me a credible Polyglot is someone who can speak more than 2 international language FLUENTLY, not the one who speaks dozens of languages but only basic greetings - something you can find on any tourism pocket book.

  27796. I discovered your channel a few days ago. I then blocked the other channels of polyglots with unlikeable personalities. It can be hard being in a foreign country at so many levels, but hearing about things other people don't like or how they make fun of locals may bring you further down. So your channel is quite motivating. I want to get to a level with which I can go and have a friendly chat with locals as you do. So keep up the good work. You seem to be a great (normal) person and that is refreshing. エディットなどが大変だと思うけど、これからもちょいちょいアンミンさんの動画を楽しんでくれたらとうれしい。頑張ってください。

  27797. It is very sad to see the hate you are and have been getting, from my perspective you have opened my eyes to so many different things across the countries you have lived in and I thank you for that, your videos are fantastic, keep doing what you are doing like I am sure you will, you have more fans than haters, no doubts, thank you for your content :)

And another video about the Chinese popular expressions part 2 . I tried to post some of the expressions on Facebook with the hope my Taiwanese friend saw it ,in the way to have a funny dialogue and she thought was funny. How are you?

  27826. You brought up a very good point about most and true polyglots not being on YouTube. Just like most Americans that speak a foreign language such as Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, etc tend to live in those countries.

  27834. I've been subscribed for a very long time, a random video I remember is you showing yourself cooking with your Chinese roommates then you gave us a tour of your cute little room after you went out buying cute little snacks, I'm glad I am one of your favorites! :) Please don't ever stop making videos!
    1
  27835. I noticed most of the time that people who are talking a different language than the country they are in is because it's easier for them since it's their native language and they talk about life thing in general not about people in their surroundings. And when you live in a pretty mix cultural area you don't want to talk about someone next you, thinking they won't understand. Because you have a good chance that they will understand. It happened to me and it was awkward. Thankfully I didn't say anything bad. French is my native language. I know English pretty well. And now I am learning Japanese thanks to you and other YouTuber. I want to travel to Japan but I want to speak it first to have the full experience. So thank you for all your videos it's helping me motivate myself to continue leaning Japanese.

  27871. (this is somewhat irrelevant to the video but) Hi! I'm a 20 y/o from Hong Kong have have been living in the US for the past 7 years. I've been binging your channel recently and gotta say, your Mandarin is even better than mine even though I'd been using it everyday from 1st-7th grade! I've been wanting to pick up Japanese, and hearing that you only started learning both Mandarin and Japanese as an adult gives me hope :) do you happen to have a video/ suggestions on where to start (besides learning hiragana/ katakana/ kanji)?

  27878. I agree, going to church in another country is a good way of learning a language. The bible has been translated into the majority of the world's languages so it is possible to use it to learn another language. I have a friend I went to college with who is a pastor in Japan and though I do not know Japanese, I can follow some aspects of the worship for instance as some songs can be found in multiple languages. This is his church. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuVH2gWFIVbm8BFG3sM1RvA/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0

  27899. You & JJ were having such a blast. I think she said it best about people, especially those with only have limited stereotypical knowledge of other countries, who would pass such laughable remarks like "Are you anti-American/a spy/govt puppet/etc.?". We all know that when we meet people who had either traveled quite a bit, or at least had read or interacted with overseas people or fellow travelers, their minds are so much more Open & such closed-minded talk never arise. Guess maybe since America is quite a big country that it is culturally isolated from the rest of the world, which might sometimes have made it quite hesitant & even combatant to other countries/cultures. Hopefully the antidote to this matter is to have more traveling & global interactions. You mentioned that you're kinda "trapped" among 3 lingo-cultural realms, which I think is like your personal "Bermuda Triangle", except I think you're able to navigate quite adeptly among the 3 cultures & languages. Ok, that's it for now. BTW, I know sometimes you might be hesitant to remind/ask your viewers to like/subscribe your channel. So go check out this Italian bass guitar guy (davie504). I don't know anything about that instrument but he really knows how to get viewers to actively like (or "slap that button" as he calls it) & subscribe to his channel. Maybe it's his odd & wry sense of humor...

  27931. I went to Kai Language School at Shin-Okubo, picked a conversational class and I had none of these experiences. I've had a lot of language classes in my time for German and Dutch but they had the most modern learning methods at Kai, it was really good. None of this stereotypical rote Japanese learning.

  27932. I only speak totally fluently is English. I speak English better that my native language (Portuguese). My Portuguese is ok but i won't say fluent. Sometimes i say that i speak 2 languages and a half, for the joke lol. French and English fluently and high intermediate Portuguese. In the nirth of Europe they are really good in English, i had a collegue in London, she had a perfect English and she was from Finland too.

  27959. You are so funny.
    1
  27960. :) Yes. Being immersed in the language, understanding the proper structure, nuance, etc, is the only way to learn. A good example is trying to take a simple sentence using English and trying to put it into 'whatever' language doesn't work. The structure of nouns, pronouns, verbs, all that grammar fun, along with the proper 'pomp and circumstance' of the particular culture never translates properly. When you add actua;ly writing the language - another bag of beans (another americanisim).

  27968. I really love your videos, (insert name here). Between you and the fellow from New York, Xioama, I have been inspired to learn my Mandarin. I've learned a little so it far and fearlessly spoke to someone at a Chinese restaurant the other day. She was from Taiwan and was so nice and helped me with pronunciation and adding to my vocabulary. You are awesome!

  27980. I hope you are able to find some peace while waiting to return to China or US. I really enjoy listening to your accent. I am originally from CA and we don’t get a chance here to hear that sort of English. It is so cool!! By the way, what area of Tokuo were you shopping? I live in Tokyo next to 3 large Japanese language schools. We have no shortage of Chinese exchange students.

  27987. It's definitely from the pranks for me. I used to watch a bunch of prank channels (but got bored of it a while back). For some reason, Youtube must have thoguht I was still into them, so it recommended me to Xiamanyc's videos, which were a much more entertaining type of prank. And since then I've started following a bunch of Youtubers who speak Chinese - you, Laoshu5050, and Beijing Chris.

  27993. It seems to odd for people to be this fanicnated but in souther California you grow up neeting people from all over the world you pretty much are exposed to everyone in diverse parts of the U.S. In Japan there not much diversity for them to experience in person.

  27996. this language ilusion is.something pretty common here in china...many chinese now feel that because they have studied some language they are ableto judge who is a native speaker or not...when in reality they tend to assume someone is from a country.base on the appereance (and that is just a polite way to say their skin color). I had canadian friends who get that all the time here cause they are not white enough or they have brown eyes. the opposite is also true, they would assume someone is bative speaker mostly based on how much they conform with the stereotype they got in their minds.
    1
  27997. I was shocked to see the stereotype that if a white girl speak chinese she is Russian and if a chinese guy have different hair style he is assumed as Korean ...... no one could predict your German descent few generations back

  28000. Those Japanese vendors talking about bye bye didn't want to acknowledge anything you said about other Asian countries especially China. I feel that is pretty common from my experience.

  28007. I have to say that I have seen your channel only twice. I used to see black man in China video. It was pretty good. But I see you and you are like way beyond that. Being from San Francisco, I knew many Asian people. I have always loved their culture. I actually wish I could do like you and visit many of the Asian Culture and speak their language. My hats off to you and your talent. GOD bless you, my friend. Oh, and yes, after watching your video, I did subscribe.

  28012. Funny because I used to hang out with Japanese girls from Japan so tourists will assume I'm from Japan as well, and freak out that I don't know a word of Japanese. Even in California, people expect me to know my language. I'm like no, I was born in America.

  28028. I watch the on-the-street videos sometimes. Just for entertainment, not necessarily for inspiration. People are so happy when someone unexpectedly speaks to them in their own language and I like to see that. As for whether these people are actually polyglots, I don't know. The guy saying he speaks 5 languages fluently doesn't usually impress me much. I think most of them just learn a few conversational things (hobbies, food, where do you come from, etc) and pass that off as fluent. That's the pattern I see when I watch videos of people claiming fluency in many languages. Just my opinion, though. And it doesn't really matter to me because I just tune in to see the happy people. The ones who are pitching programs and telling people they can learn a new language in 30 days at an hour a day annoy the crap out of me. That's just flat out lying to people.

  28034. i think u can only get these good reactions on chinese, u won't end well with american, especially nowadays. u will "offend" them anyhow.

  28035. Truthfully i was waiting for a part to skip lol But i absolutely love your videos, even though I went Germanic Languages. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean where always more of a dream for me and maybe one day. Until then i live through you and the other foreigners doing Chinese/Japanese videos.

  28040. I was raised Catholic but I don't practice. That Japanese Catholic Church was dope! That priest hit those notes and the ceremony was very reminiscent of US Catholic Church. Much respect to the archdiocese over there, they are on point.

  28042. Just discovered this channel. Very wholesome content. It's a lovely experience for everyone when an unlikely looking stranger speaks your language. I studied Icelandic for a short time and remember seeing the look of pure shock and joy on this Icelandic farmers face when I started chatting to him in his tongue. Great fun!

  28043. Teaching English is not for everyone especially in Japan...... Saw a video from a German girl who studied in Japan. After graduation she wanted to stay teaching... Unfortunately was denied because she is not a native speaker. I am not a native speaker but due to business met a lot of people from different countries and if I had to compare her English o people form UK, there wasn't that much of an issue....But yeah bureaucracy spins the gears of the world not common sense... To be told I am not a teacher never wanna be one, like my job and even if I had to move again would like to keep it... unfortunately working in engineering in Japan is not a recommended choice not to mention without N3 or even N2 not possible :(

  28052. Dear Pearl!🙂I am so grateful to you for recommending the application Pimsleur! Today I started learning Japanese and I love it! In the morning I did the first lesson and in the afternoon I repeated the whole thing again! It was fantastic! But I'm afraid of writing! I plane it for tomorrow! Can you read and write? Isn't it terrible? By the way, I'm hungarian, I speak perfect German, a little bit Russian, my English is OK, but not fluent enough, so I'm learning now Japanese that I also practice English at the same time! It's funny and my new goal. Thank you so much for this app! Greetings from Hungary! ❤️

  28076. Good, Bad, and Crazy teachers - Watching this video of you with the kids reminded me of when I did substitute teaching in Hawaii and Iowa. I met lots of teachers - the good, the bad, and the crazy. The good teachers knew how to manage a classroom, and manage kids, and I liked subbing for those teachers. The crazy teachers loved their kids but could not manage them, and their class rooms were crazy zoos. Those classes were really challenging to sub for. The bad teachers did not like their jobs. They either did not like teaching, did not like kids, or were burned out and waiting to retire (or they were all 3). I did not like subbing for those classes either. I really enjoyed teaching 1st. through 3rd. grades. The kids liked me. Many had no fathers, and saw me as a father figure which I felt a bit awkward about. They wanted to cling to me and hang out around my desk. I needed to push them away to make sure nothing ever even looked inappropriate. I always kept my classroom doors open, and tried to keep some distance from the really clingy ones. I did K-12 and special ed. I really did not like high school or 7th and 8th. grades. I was only doing it for the money. I did not want to become a teacher, and I didn't like kids (I didn't like disciplining them! I had my own kids at home.). Watching you on your field trip with the kids reminded me of how much I liked the field trips with the little kids, but dreaded it with the older ones. One really nice thing I experienced while subbing in Hawaii, on the Big Island, was all the support I got from teachers in the neighboring classrooms. I felt special being a teacher there, although I didn't think of myself as being a teacher. One memorable day my wife and I were out doing some shopping. I noticed a little girl walking with her parents. She pulled her mother's hand and stopped her. Then she pointed at me and said with such admiration, "that's my teacher". That really made my day. I've never forgotten that. I sure enjoy watching your videos. When I was living in Iowa and could not find a job, I thought about leaving my family for a year to teach English in Japan. I found a local Japanese woman who taught local Japanese and American women English and Japanese. Her husband was a Japanese man who managed a local Japanese-run factory. So, once a week for a year, she taught me Japanese - speaking, reading and writing. In exchange, I taught her how to speak better English. The closest I got to going to Japan, was moving back to California! When my Japanese teacher and her family moved back to Japan, they all came to visit us in California. This was back in 1994. I've since forgotten 97% of the Japanese I learned!!! John in California

  28084. just discovered your channel - great stuff. My high school kids I taught English to in China were great. Middle east high school kids were wild . And my urban kids in the USA i teach are just about right. Good luck I wish I became fluent in Chinese - two years was not enough -)

  28088. But even I think you are amazing and I like seeing their reaction to you. In their eyes they don't see many foreigners speaking as fluent as you and remember the people who are telling you that you are amazing probably have only met you once or a few times. I think it can be annoying if it were the same people who already know you say that you are amazing.

  28089. Great stuff! :)

My girlfriend and I also live abroad so hope to return to Japan soon.

  28099. We have this here in spades! Much of ours are drug addicted and mentally ill. There are many though, that even when offered jobs or housing, do not want it. They don’t want to follow anyone’s rules. It is very depressing to those of us that have living space too. They beg and steal.😢 Oh, subscribed to his channel.

  28105. Thank you so much for posting this video. I've seen a lot of polyglots rising up on YouTube lately and they seem to make the whole learning process so easy, but that's not!!! It took me years to learn English and Japanese and even though I can speak both, I still struggle in a lot of subjects. Even in my native language I commit mistakes lol I wish I could give you 1000000 likes in this video.

I’m thirteen and learning Japanese....I won’t be quick enough to learn Chinese or Korean.

  28133. Me having a really unique clothing style and having social anxiety plus being a introvert is horrible, your absolutely right though. A lot of people do come up to me and try to strike a conversation about it, I’m grateful though it’s so nice knowing people like my outfits 😅🥰

  28150. Absolutely delighted with the news. Congratulations to you both.

  28151. At least at colleges in America, if you know the person is an international student, you could compliment their English skills. I did this with korean and Chinese students and they were happy to hear it but shy/humble at the same time. I thought it was a cute reaction lol

  28152. Great video!!!! Looks like so much fun!!!❤
    1
  28153. I've been watching all your vids, working from the oldest to the newest. When I came to this one, it made me finally sign in and subscribe. It's my favorite, with its combination of entertaining soba restaurant, touching tsunami village, and trippy cave! I admire all your videos and am inspired to learn Japanese (and pick up some Chinese phrases as well). But I really enjoy the ones exploring Japanese/Chinese culture and places the best -- thanks so much for continuing to provide them! (Impressed with how entertaining/informative your comments and editing are also. "Hit head" count made me LOL!)

  28156.  @OrientalPearl  No No, 无意冒犯。。 我的意思是，在说英语的时候希望得到赞赏和肯定。就像我们一般会夸奖别人：哇哦，你中文很好。 我是希望也能得到别人的赞赏。 希望不管学什么语言，在什么地方，都能得到对方的赞赏、肯定、和支持。希望世界更加和谐的意思。 可能我的英文不太好，意思表达不清晰。sorry。

  28164. The editing and the fun way you put this video together is amazing!! I love it. I just wanted to say I don't subscribe for your language content and honestly I don't think a lot of people do anymore either.. I think you should post more about yourself and your daily life like this! Maybe even about all the fun stuff you and your fiance do in Japan! I think people would love it 💜
    1
  28165. Have you ever gotten free food for speaking japanese?
    1
  28166. Yay! I absolutely love your videos!! Excited to see more!!

  28167. Your videos are so so interesting, funny and teaches us so much about the Japanese. Thank you for another great video. And you break the thought that,"You can't make friends in Japan". P. S- which was the clothes shop you went to after visiting Kinji? 😅😅
    1
  28168. I recently discovered this space on YouTube it's been motivating me to get better at Spanish because I want to move to Colombia someday so to see people react negatively os kinda stupid in my opinion learning another language is not easy and your appreciated for taking the time to learn another cultures language

  28179. last video before going to bed, hehe.. Really enjoy the video since i never had a chance to visit Yokohama when i went to Japan.
    1
  28180. I just started learning Japanese and it is so nice to watch videos like this and be familiar with some of the things being said! Like when the lady said “nana juu san sai” I could understand what she meant. I’m bilingual since childhood and haven’t tried to learn a new language before, it is so fun! I hope I can be fluent like she is one day!
    1
  28181. In my humble (North American) opinion, it's ok to have relations with people where the major motivation is improving language skills – on the conditions that a) you candidly express your wish to soak up their lingo, and b) you really do enjoy each other's company. What would be objectionable, imho, would be faking friendship when there is none. No one wants to be discarded when they cease to be useful!

  28182. such a beautiful couple ❤️❤️❤️

  28193. How long have you been studying Japanese and Chinese for? You're really good at both languages!
    1
  28194. I agree so much! That kinda sucks. Probably will change in the future to the better and people will understand that people with other skin colors also can speak the local language. Cool that you are addressing this topic. 我的汉语还没有你的那么厉害哈哈，祝你一生不老。

  28203. Congratulations

  28204. I really liked this video in comparison to your "surprising people on the streets"-style videos. I think the ones where you interview others such as the video with the musician and the foreigner who practices traditional Japanese archery were really cool, although I do believe your interview skills do need some improvement. This is just friendly observation as I know this is new to you. I think most people would enjoy more "a day in the life"-style content, attending events that you can't find outside of Japan, or focusing on other cultural customs (such as when you celebrated New Years with your future in laws). I wish you the best of luck. I'm happy to continue supporting your channel. 💕

  28207. I really wish I could learn how to speak Japanese 😔
    1
  28208. I really like your content and videos. I appreciate the effort you put in. I even watch all the ads just in case it helps you monetarily speaking. But I must mention one thing that can sound like a scorning but it is genuinely an honest suggestion: please try and work on not cutting people off when they speak. It happens several times in the interview portion. And seeing as it is a clear one on one interview, it is a standout to me. That's a habit that many people develop and find difficult to break out of. But as an introvert who has grown up around people who do that all the time, it honestly triggers me just a little when I see it happening to others. Again, I am not trying to criticize you. This is just a friendly suggestion. Thank you for making your videos!

  28209. Took a trip out to Jigokundani a few years back and always wondered what those trees were at 0:34 in this vid. Are they apples? They were as bare as they are in your vid.

  28213. Dang Anming. Some of those words are simple in English but not so much in Chinese. Also, it was nice of you to buy that gentleman a Pokemon toy. Lastly, I'm surprised that Hong Kong isn't called Xiang Gang instead. Hope you're doing well :-)

  28217. low key love the drama in the language community xD I am fluent in English and Spanish, and have tutored people in both languages. I have been learning Hindi on and off for two years but have been really committed for the last 4-5 months. It is a language I hope to master and continue learning for the rest of my life. I do enjoy watching "hyperpolyglot" content but I understand it's downfalls. While they can have conversations with a myriad of people I will never be able to communicate with, the depth of those conversations is lacking. Really happy Matt touched on this.

  28247. I’m ethnic Chinese but my Mandarin speaking ability is probably 10% of yours! I absolutely love the way you speak all the languages, even the English. And you are so beautiful!
    1
  28248. Hello! First, I really do like to see videos like those, when chineses get surprised of westerners speaking mandarin. Secondly, I would like to know if I can ask you some questions about the subject and some help as well... hope your answer me, fingers crossed 🤞 thank you and congrats for your mandarin proficiency!

  28249. 第一次看到你视频 好厉害 我也要加油了

  28250. I loved this. I desperately wish I could speak many languages. As Americans, I think it is so important that we show people that we can learn other languages.

  28251. i dont know karate but i do know taekwondo so maybe kicking will work for me
    1
  28252. you sound so warm when you speak Japanese. :>
    1
  28253. It is interesting to know that Japan's younger generation are being open and direct to express their thoughts and feelings. Is it because they are at Harajuku when is considered normal, or is it a growing trend across areas especially in rurals?
    1
  28254. Love this video! Thank you for making this!
    1
  28255. Great video. I know you like travel. Just found out that you're also a serious student.
    1
  28256. Has anyone gotten weirded out or kind of upset about you speaking their language? Like korean... the farther I get people say to me like... this is weird just speak english. or things like that, almost like they dont want me to invade their "culture" or something. But as a beginner they are so happy, like youre so cute!! 귀여워!!! 몰라.... Only a few but that makes me a little sad
    1
  28257. 奥さん日本語がとても丁寧で素敵👏👏I can feel much respect to your hubbies parents from your Japanese. I don’t know these days young Japanese kids can use polite words like you do lol Adorable.

  28259. Should have him visit Novi one of these days and see what he thinks of the Japanese food there

  28260. I think people would be less shocked by foreigners speaking Japanese than Chinese. The Chinese language isn't exactly mainstream yet in the west. Japanese at least have anime.
    1
  28261. You looked stunning. Congratulations 🥰
    1
  28262. I think you’re amazing and I need some expert advice. What are your recommendations as to your methods of learning both Japanese and Chinese?
    1
  28263. Thanks, I will definitely look out and know people might ghost me friendship wise now. Your keen eye is appreciated. I would dislike the passive-aggressiveness too!

  28264. I love you Pearl!

  28265. Congratulations! I played a part!
    1
  28266. Yeah you do have a slight Chinese accent
    1
  28267. You better watch out, the polyglot community might take away your polyglot membership card. Just try to remember that you speak for every single person that has the same likes, interests, and hobbies as you. They have the god-given right to tell you how to act, and most importantly how bad you should feel about the things you've done.

  28276. They always say it’s hard to make friends in japan , you gave me hope <3

  28289. The visa thingy is not really a big deal. In such situation you can always extend your visa. Besides if everything else doesn't work out you can just fly to Guam or Taiwan and fly back to Japan. Americans are visa free to enter Japan and can stay up to 3 months.

  28290. They are both so good on wish I can play the piano too I'm learning how to play the guitar next I will do the piano and I hope I will be good like both of them☺
    1
  28291. I would argue that you should pay for private language learning tutors(online or in person). Free language exchange tutors typically are not very good. Also try at least ten paid private tutors for whatever language you are trying to learn.
    1
  28292. See that’s great hun, they respect people who makes the effort to know their culture. You are such a great advocate for them and us. Love you sweetheart keep safe❤

  28294. Isn't it wonderful that they have time in their own purposeful and fascinating lives to instruct the rest of us? Pay no attention.

  28296. cool

  28297. Thanks you for this video and hello from Guam
    1
  28298. I love that you mentioned the "reading and writing" part about Chinese and Japanese, but I would extend that argument to all languages. I've been learning Japanese and one of the epiphanies I've had is that I will never learn the full context and power to command the language the way I do with English if I cannot read their literature. The reason for my epiphany being that a massive portion of my vocabulary as an English-speaker originated from reading in English all through my life.
    1
  28299. I'm learning English with your videos xD, I'm also learning Chinese but I'm still beginner.
    1
  28300. Thanks for the tips :3 <3

  28301. Okay. You have a sweet tooth like I do! When I lived in Japan I don't think I ever really spent time in Shinagawa. I did change trains there often though.

  28307. OMG YOU ARE AMAZING! I wish I was half as good as you are LOL! I could kinda speak in Japanese and a little more in Cantonese and I would prank people handing out advertisements on these streets when I was in Hong Kong lol. One time, this guy asked me to sign up for something and i answered in Japanese, saying I don't understand. He started guessing where I'm from and then I switched to English and we started talking in English. Then I said I could speak some Cantonese, and switched to that, and he was SHOOK LOOOL it was pretty fun

  28326. Your mic is peaking quite a bit, distorting the audio. I noticed this on other videos as well. If you have a gain knob, I'd try turning it down a bit! Thanks for the video! :) (EDIT: This seems to happen on Matt's portion as well, so maybe it's an artifact of how the video is being exported, not the mic.)

  28332. In 1977 I landed in Israel; one member of a large group of tourists just off a chartered flight looking forward to 8 days of touring the "Holy Land". We were on some line after having had our Visas checked when I was approached by several soldiers and told I was to go with them. I was led to a room in which there were several Military officers who questioned me for about 20 minutes or so. I didn't feel threatened because I had nothing to hide. The only tense moment was when I refused to answer what my MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) was while having served in the US Marine Corps. All ended well once they were satisfied that I wasn't a problem. They apologized for having felt the need to question me and hoped I could understand. I was escorted back to the tour group... leaving me with a unique experience from my visit to Israel.

  28338. I think she was curious and wanted to talk to you. When I see something strange that I’ve never seen before of course I’m going to be curious and take a peak. Following you was a bit too much and I can see why you were wary because you had people following you before. But you can see how she got out first and left maybe she wasn’t following you? I’m sure she didn’t have bad intentions. Anyways take care of yourself and omg stop touching your face. I caught you touching your face like 4 times.

  28346. Personally speaking, I think people just have to many expectations for these apps. None of these apps is going to give you fluency. Learning a new language is a grind and nobody wants to hear that. They want something quick and easy but doing anything worthwhile requires a significant investment. That what those apps prey on. Admittedly, I need to get more speaking practice in. I've been doing exclusively self-study and I have even spoken a lick of Japanese. I been practicing my reading comprehension everyday however.

  28373. Anming lives life on the edge in the mysterious Orient. I've only read about fugu and how one risked death to consume same as if improperly prepared it could kill you. I've read news articles where it has happened. Now that you have showed the benign looking dish, well I still probably wouldn't eat it because 魚 is not my thing. The only earthquake I have ever experienced was in Japan, and I was so clueless I didn't even know it was happening. My friend pointed out the signs all swinging and the native Japanese just stopped the clueless gaijin from getting in elevator. It was like a minute out of their day. I'm not sure what a big one feels like as I've never experienced " a big one". Apparently you are one of those who are more sensitive to feeling vibrations from seismic activity. My friend had a Typhoon App on his phone and made us leave Hirado, Kyūshū for the safety of Nagano. The typhoon ended swinging off and hitting Korea. A week after we left Nagano, Typhoon Hagibis hit and probably flooded one of the Shinkansen we were riding in. Joss, I guess. Thanks for the visuals of Anming. Risking her life daily, in Japan. Fearless she is.

  28376. Honestly I know it's not the intention of this video... But now I kind of want to quit going to my japanese classes lol... I don't watch anime, and I am probably never going to visit Japan unfortunately. So there's no real logical reason for me to be learning Japanese, I was just doing it for fun. The only real-world use I could possibly get out of knowing japanese is displaying it to my friends and family. (Showing off, essentially). So yea, this video is almost inspiring me to just give up on japanese because there's no logical reason for me to learn it other than to impress people lol. Maybe if I watched anime I could say I'm learning so I can understand the shows better but that isn't the case.

As a Korean American that speaks Korean semi-fluently (enough to have full convos, but not formally enough to be interviewed for say, a job), this makes me want to be better at my "native" language. You're awesome.

  28407. I think learning Chinese would be amazing, but I don't think it would be very welcoming for me there. Even though my great grandfather is Chinese from China, I'm mixed race with a tan complexion. I hear the Chinese are segregating and discriminating against African and black people at this time.

  28409. I’m not sure if I would do well with all those social nuances, greetings, and phrases that are expected. I live in the northern US and once while visiting a state in the South I walked up to two employees in a grocery store and said “Hi, do you have gift cards?” They looked startled, then glared a little before answering. My husband said it was because I didn’t say “excuse me,” or “pardon me” and wait for them to acknowledge me before I blurt my question. I don’t know if this is the case, but if I have trouble in my own country I’m sure I’d perpetually, but unintentionally offend in Japan.

  28411. I loved this video. I'm a language teacher and also a translator. So I know how hard is to master and learn a language. I can read in some languages but speaking only two 😓 and thats okay, I never tried to truly learn the other languages O can read and understand. Nowadays I'm learning korean and want to learn japanese and German, but I know i need to really stop and learn from the beginning and focusing hard to really learn. Thank you for showing me that I'm right haha. Just the best for both 💐

I am thinking to learn Japanese not really in Tokyo but if you could give me an idea would be great. I am quite into healthy life style. Is there availability of vegetables and fruits? I have heard the prices for this itens are quite high. Thanks a lots

I love playing with kids too! we had school groups visit the temple I lived at sometimes - sadly, I never did learn much more than basic temple words - but I still had fun drinking tea with the kids and talking about Disney movies! お疲れ様です - thanks for all the hard work! I know videos are tiring and take a lot of work - don't let the morons in the comments get you down... remember .. even mean comments are "Viewer Engagement" and benefit your ratings.... another channel I watch one of the creators had "L.E.T." tattooed on her wrist.. which stands for "Let Em Talk" - No matter what they say, it will benefit you in the algorithm - even if they're uneducated, uncultured, untraveled twits.

  28438. You hear the stereotypes that Chinese people are rude and dislike foreigners, and that Japanese people also dislike foreigners, and are too formal to engage in conversation. Then you see videos like these that completely smash those stereotypes and show you that Chinese and Japanese people are like any other people and, as long as you have the language skills, will be very pleasant to speak to.

  28439. Real enjoyed the opening footage of the street and wouldn't mind a little more of the scenery as I will never get there. Great video and enjoyed watching other peoples reactions to your fluidity with the language. I do miss your cat mask, what happened, , did it break, or is it in the wash, inquiring minds want to know? Thank-you for the tour.

  28440. I love these videos of "surprises the natives" I think someone who is bothered by it is a hater
    1
  28441. The UK is quite similar in that regard. We're a self deprecating bunch regardless of the level of etiquette, so compliments could be regarded with anything from "you're too kind" to "stop chattin' shit." I've never really found it jarring in your videos, even if the idioms are different. Those people were super nice by the way. I think it's impossible to overstate just how many doors a second/third/nth language opens.

No 8 it comes out on April and I also watched the new Hulu series called the shogun it’s really good but a lot of blood and gore it’s really interesting to watch and I love Hiroyuki sanada he’s the guy who plays hanzo hasashi in mortal kombat in 2023 it’s really amazing how i love Japanese culture

Subscribed, I do the same in the Netherlands, I speak with a thick Irish accent or very posh English accent and when they switch to Dutch, even regional dialects, I understand them and tease them in their own dialect. well, not the same, I mean, I don't make videos about language, but maybe I should. I hope you get to 1m subs soon, you are a lovely woman and I am sure your husband feels the same.

  28456. Hello I had a question about this video. Did you pay for the language school? I studied japanese for some years ago for one year in Tokyo and I never had that experience. But I had an exchange program with my school I guess it might be different. My school Gakugeidai was really good and the teachers were nice and helpful. Many subjects you could study japanese by studying their history , there were sakubun classes and so on so I have a completely different view. So I think you should explain better what kind of schools they were so people don't get only the negative side of Tokyo schools.

But also boring, my daughter doesn't understand why she can't go to school, the library, playground, beach, park, pool, the trampoline park or out to eat. For me, the highlight of my week are watching your videos. They are interesting, beautiful and provide hope. So I'm extremely happy that you make them and want to thank you!! I hope you are able to stay in Japan!! Right now Trump is threatening to not send ventilators to Michigan because he's angry at Governor Whitmer. Please be safe!!

  28473. Interesting video, but I'm sure if you spoke English in any foreign country on the outskirts of a major city or tourist attraction, you would get a similar brush off or a shaking of the head. The Japanese do not want to offend people, so they feel uncomfortable if they are not able to assist you or understand you. I'm sure if you did this experiment in certain countries, they would tell you in their own native language to speak their language or NO English...

  28474. So happy for you Anming 🥺 you two look so happy together!

  28475. It takes a lot of effort. Facts! On some of your vids, ppl answer you back in Chinese before they react and some react before replying. Which is more common? 🤔That could be an episode in itself 😆.

  28476.  @OrientalPearl  其實台灣的補習班或補教單位也有寒暑假..建議你若想休息可以直接跟公司請長假..這段期間若無聊去教短期家教..時薪應該都是一千台幣起跳..會中文或多種語言者還會更高...在台灣做事情常有一句話:上有政策下有對策! 台灣極缺外師人才. 最後還是希望有時間可以多來台灣走走玩玩看看! 台灣人的好客是世界有名的! 祝順心! ps.其實你大可在台灣建立你個人的家教事業.白人在台灣的社會地位是高的! 且若算上物價水準(台灣物價低請員工很划算!).台灣外師的薪水其實不算太差喔! 而且台灣人對外國人既好奇又友善經常有機會可以上台灣的電視節目! 再次祝順心!

  28494. l lived in Pagsanjan for 2 years and found this area a very warm and accommodating place. l have done the boat tour a couple of times and it was a bit nerve racking, but enjoyable. Every Sunday l would go to the Pagsanjan Falls Lodge for lunch. It overlooks the river from on top of a hill with a very wonderful view of the countryside. l miss the Philippines, but will return once the virus is behind us...

  28495. Cultures can be so different and can be a barrier specially if one party or the other is stubborn or just backwards and not wanting to evolve. I just want to say cow tongue is delicious hehe I'm Latino/European (mixedbreed) but I can never get myself to swallow natto... i literally had to "politely" put it in a napkin.. nor do I like seaweed or fake crab naruto... I am a loud person and Japanese are quite, how are Chinese people loud or quite?

  28496. I live for these videos, it would've been me if I had actually stuck to Japanese after years of studying it (it was my dream to study there, didn't happen, so I let it gol

  28499. I'm fluent in English and Spanish by default since I live in the US and have a Hispanic family, and I've been studying japanese for a few months now. Even though I've tried studying other languages, I never took it took it too seriously, so I've ended up with a bunch of knowledge of different writing systems and sentence structures that I can't put to use because I don't know the language. However, this time I'm taking it more seriously and I plan to become very fluent in japanese, and I'm very impressed because in just a few months I can understand very simple things, and often tell apart the verbs, nouns and adjectives from a sentence, even if I don't know what they mean, I feel like it's a good progress

  28503. Very funny. Kind of reminds me of our trip to Interlaken in Switzerland (very touristy place, lots of Arabic and Asian tourists there). We wanted to go to a medieval fair but couldn't leave the train station, because literally buses full of Chinese people wanted to take some photos of us (we all wore medieval style clothing). :) PS: I am learning Mandarin Chinese at the moment. The hardest parts at the beginning are definately the pronounciations and recognizing the characters.

  28522. This is the part of chinese culture I experienced when I first started learning Chinese! People would hear me speak Chinese and offer to buy me bubble tea. The grandma who used to work at a boba shop would always give me pastries at the end of The night and tell me to take them home to my family. One time a complete stranger came up next to me and said do you want to sit with us and have lunch? And he gave me his number so we could chat and hang out again. It really is a warm feeling. It makes you realize they must feel respected if a white or black person takes the time to properly learn chinese.

  28530. Even if you were not a new YouTuber, it does not matter that you do not have fancy, expensive equipment. You run a personal YouTube channel, not the Disney animation department. Your videos are perfectly fine with excellent content. Please do not let the naysayers’ negativity affect you! Keep posting your happy videos and ignore them. Most of them are probably envious and want to make themselves feel better by putting you down.

  28535. no notification this time even though I've subscribed. It just shows you that your way of thinking on things changes when you get used to something ie it bothered you when people reacted to your Chinese but not time has passed you love the reactions to it, just goes to show you how much you as a person change overtime, And I hear you have you subscribed yet sounds corny but needs must. Keep up the good work hope to see more awesome videos much ♥ from Scotland

  28544. Just wanted to say that the end really resonated with me. I binged a lot of your videos in the past hours and it‘s really inspiring to see how well you speak Japanese and Chinese. I am actually a second generation immigrant in Germany, so I speak German and Chinese (btw your Chinese is way better than mine, it‘s almost a little bit sad xD). I would say that my English became really decent after we had an exchange student from America who I become good friends with during the time of his staying so I became really confident using my English skills. Anyway after the corona outbreak, quarantine and those stuff happened I just bought some books for learning Chinese (mainly for the characters (hanzi)) and Japanese. After that I became fairly confident with my Chinese so I would go shopping or buy bubble tea with it and I even failed ordering my first bubble tea since I was not very familiar with the menu and Chinese characters. But it was really fun to mess up and learn from it. And watching people like the above mentioned exchange student, other YouTubers like Xiao Ma or Chris from Abroad in Japan or especially you, who speaks both Chinese and Japanese, having so much fun is just really motivating and inspiring. I hope that I become so confident that I can be more like you, using every language I‘m able to speak in one interaction xD with that said I going to reschedule my free-time... :D

  28581. I lived in Chinese speaking countries for 11 years and only picked up street survival Mandarin and Cantonese as I was travelling every week, had two very young kids, a crazy busy job and it’s bloody hard. I regret not learning more and you are inspiring, genuine, non-condescending to local people (unlike so many Wàiguó rén). Will try to learn now I seem to have a lot more free time for some reason. Be safe. 😷

  28590. A pretty sure fail safe would be TedTalks polyglot videos on YT at least if people want to find actual polyglots. And for them it did take time. There they would have to prove the self before getting there. If such YTbere that say they speak multiple languages (to a limited degree), it may be better to say they are a polyglot in progress or want to be one instead. And just be honest.

  28607. Hi!! Another great video! 🤗 Thank you for sharing your experiences and for encouraging us so much to keep strong and learning! It’s very interesting to compare the universities from different countries. Here in Brazil, for example, the public universities are the best, but very hard to get into, similarly to the Chinese ones. On the other hand, a lot of students don’t get to graduate, because it takes a lot of studying and effort to graduate. Also, the diversity of the students’ backgrounds is another barrier, because some are more prepared than others, due to financial differences, which can be very demotivating since some have access to quality education while others don’t. Do you also get to see these differences there or in the American universities? Lots of love! Stay safe! ❣️

One of my many discoveries was in some parts of Asia, is that KFC wasn't just a fast food choice, but a special occasion dish. Well it was nice that that your friends tried amalgamate your Americanisms with Asian traditions to celebrate your birthday.

  28617. Alyssa you’re looking beautiful as always! Tell Mr. Tommy if he doesn’t treat you right I volunteer to be your Sugar Daddy! 🥰 I am half Japanese btw. My mother was born in Japan in 1935 and married my father in 1957. She was shunned for several years until roughly 1966 and didn’t see her mother until 1980. Really sad honestly. Question Alyssa, is there a illegal drug problem in Japan and if so what drugs are abused? Thank you for another fantastic video you gorgeous beautiful lady! ❤ Much love from Texas!

I just started a new customer service job for a big business and I'm treated like a statistic rather than a person and I don't think I've been this miserable and tired in a while. This video made me feel a bit happier though🙂

  28636. I must not get out much. No idea this was a thing people were arguing. My only issue is that I'm skeptical at some of the youtubers who seem to be making all their videos in same context, like every video ordering a big mac in different language
    1
  28637. I have seen a lot of these videos, white people shocking chinese people with their chinese. Why are there so shocked and suprised, i don't understand. Is that because chinese are even differcult for them self to learn and speak. In my small country you can study chinese on a lot of places. I mean it must be 10 thousands all around the world who is not native that speak their language. I can agree not everyone choose chinese for learning extra language mostly english, french, spannish or german maybe.
    1
  28638. Thank you so much for your amazing tips!! I didn’t know that the app HelloTalk exists, and that is what I was exactly looking for because I’m learning Chinese and I don’t know many people to talk with it. Thank you again!😊😊

  28647. Just watching your videos makes me want to learn a new language. I speak English and Spanish, but I'd love to learn another language

  28648. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. How cute were those girls in their South Korean outfits? And what gives? There's already 6 Anmings on Instagram?? The Japanese girl doing the photoshoot looked super cute as well. Lastly, the shops, alleys and architecture in Japan look quite interesting and unique from the rest of the world. Take it easy :-)

  28649. 6:28 I don't get why people cringe when the KitKat is not broken in two. Like what? I always eat it in bites, because I don't like touching my food unless my hands are clean.

  28650. I miss being in Japan
    1
  28651. That was real good. Thank you. My daughter lived and worked for a couple of years in France and I agree. One has to live and work in a country to understand the language in order to truly speak.

  28662. 我觉得你的视频好有趣啦。我同意你的意思，学习语言真的不容易。我大约三年自己学中文了，要说我中文真的不完美，经常感觉我懂的还是特别少的。我也有时候学习一点日语但是我的日语真的特别差的。其实学习还有练习中文花好多的时间。我真的想提高我的日语象我中文一样但是说实话我没有那么堵的时间于耐力。

  28663. Just subscribed. I believe beautiful people are those who have a beautiful soul and you are one such person. Your outside also matches your inside. Stay above the hate and just keep looking forward towards your bright future.

  28666. I believe that the "hang loose" gesture originated from the Hawaiian surfboard culture, popularised by Californian surfers in the 1960s with the raise of Surf Music (e.g., Jan and Dean and the Beachboys).

  28680. What a great video...so entertaining! Allow me to tell you about my funniest, and also most embarrassing, moment while visiting Japan. Many years ago during my junior year in high school, my family took a trip to Japan (I'm a 4th-generation Japanese American from Hawaii). I had just learned to read hiragana and katakana characters, as well as very basic conversational phrases. I was looking at a department store restaurant menu, and mistaking the katakana 'ra' (ラ) for the hiragana 'u' (う) , I asked the waitress "Sumimasen, ano okosama unchi wa nan desu ka?" Clearly, the waitress could tell Japanese was not my primary language, but could not help but chuckle before correcting my error. My Japanese cousin sitting next to me also heard what I had asked, and after practically rolling on the floor, he filled me in on my faux pas. Suffice it to say, I turned 50 shades of red in embarrassment! In my defense, those two characters kinda look alike, and when reading hiragana 'okosama' to katakana 'ranchi', one might make that mistake. Lol!

  28681. Omg I love your videos I really want to go to japan now

  28682. Love your videos! Could you show more about what you eat in a day there in Tokyo? I'd love to learn more about what you enjoy as an American in Japan!
    1
  28683. Thanks OP Wonderful Video like always. When you talked to that last woman the restaurant you passed by had a large menu with pictures of bowls etc of food they make I'm amazed there looks like maybe over 50 pictures.do they offer that much variety?😁😀
    1
  28684. Anming, Royce was a lot of fun! I'm so happy to see you collaborating with different You Tubers. I would love to see you do a collab with my friend Jen over at her "Dream Prague" channel. It would be need to compare your experiences as Americans, living and working in foreign countries...would be so interesting!

  28685. What if you meet a nice Japanese boy and marry him would that change your immigration status ? I just don't want a nice Michigan girl to be in China any longer than she has to.

  28699. Hello Anming ( Oriental Pearl) , nice to meet you. This is the first video that I have watched and I fell in love with it 😍. I really love your straightforwardness and small talks with the people. You set an example that you can make friends with people when you talk to them in thier local language. Please do keep making videos like this 😍. All the very best👍 . Best wishes for your all your future endeavors 🙏👍 Subscribed to your channel just now ❤️👍😇

  28702. wo you know when you watch movies and everyone is skinny the same thing in Japan. mostly everyone is in great shape. not just that this is during the pandemic everyone seems so cool so normal so happy.
    1
  28703. It’s like full on Asians who were born and raised and grew up in the US, speaking english with no accents.. but as adults still get to be asked ‘WHERE, as in where are you really from?’ Traditional Asians don’t look anything like you at all, so of course people will be surprised if you say you’re from Japan. Hahaha

  28704. No more 这是你说的最最能体会到你内心的话，这种感觉，顿时镜头那几秒钟有种说不出来的感觉在心头。

    1
  28706. I love that you decided to do this “portrait” video where you’re still vlogging but focusing on Lisa and showing how cool you can be even with a disability. I also recently covered the story of a man who went blind later in life but decided to be a total star about it and was very humbling.

  28710. Okay.. I remember this. It was one of the first "new" videos I watched after I subscribed. I remember thinking the same thing... Do they think everyone is so gullible? And weird... Full circle👍 another video that needed a smashed like button.

  28711. Sister Anming is a language genius, Will you plan to learn some Chinese dialects or Japanese dialects? For example Cantonese, Sichuan dialect or Kansai accent?

  28712. I want to do this SO BAD!

  28713. Your videos are always so pleasing to watch

  28715. Technically he’s not wrong that you “look” European haha since you can’t “look American” It’s amazing that you speak Japanese and Chinese. I think your next target might be korean? Haha

  28716. Nice video! 💗Thank you for your advices! 😊 I have a question:When did you start doing language exchanges on apps? Were you at an intermediate level or you started right away at a beginner level? Because I don't know if I should study a little more or already start doing language exchanges😁😁😁

  28732. New subscriber, here! This video is so cute and congratulations to you both! I don't think there is anything wrong meeting other people, making friends from a language exchange app or perhaps finding a soul mate, things happen in life unexpectedly and it's just amazing how things happen like that through an app! I can't wait to watch future videos of you both and also the family!

  28743. Why do these polyglot conferences alway take place using the English language? (As far as I can tell). English should surely be the one language they should never need to use. Otherwise, what's the point?
    1
  28744. I just found your channel and loooove the conversations you can have with people when you know their language. Like just imagine you wouldn’t have the convo if you didn’t know the convo.. :(

  28751. All three of my kids studied Japanese. My eldest has lived in Takasaki (Gunma Prefecture) for almost 5 years. My youngest may teach for a year before continuing her studies. We are proud Michiganders (and Spartans) from the Detroit area. I enjoy your posts but never realized you were from here. I am glad you could show Tommy around. Have a great holiday. Hopefully my entire family can return to Japan before too long.
    1
  28752. Hello, glad you dont get upset anymore... not as much at least. People will always think you are a tourist bcuz of your looks. They will not know if you live there long and educated overseas. Just embrace it and post on YouTube. That's what make it fun and inspiring of your language skills.

  28753. You rock the yellow bikini , and 1.5 million others agree with me. Nice video as always.

  28755. Sometime ago I commented on your channel, I think it was shortly after you arrived in Japan from China, that I would love to speak Mandarin but that I was to old to learn and your reply to me was that there was a senior man pass 70 or so that was learning English in Japan. Well since then I have started to learn Mandarin and pleased to say some progress has been made. Still difficult to understand the fast language but improving everyday with the reading and characters. Thank you for the inspiration.

  28756. i like how the big dude says "yeah" while in japanese it souds like "iie"(no), how people say "hi" but for japanese it might sounds like "hai"(yes)

  28762. I understand 100%. Many Asian Americans are told this all the time, in their own country. “Your English is great!” “Where are you from? No, I mean, where are you originally from?”

  28763. Actually this never happened to me in the Bay Area. But I experienced it in other states, like Colorado and Illinois.

    1
  28765. LOVE your content!!! Every time I watch one of your videos I get so envious. I love that you can speak both Chinese and Japanese so fluently. I know that you always say that your Japanese is not as good as your Chinese, but I am a Japanese American born in Okinawa and raised in California and over the years my Japanese has become somewhat lazy and when I hear you speaking my native language I feel a bit inadequate and realize that I need to practice my conversational Japanese to regain what I am clearly losing. (shameful, I know). I need to go visit my mom so I can brush up on my Nihongo! You are a Gem!

  28768. It's such a nice surprise to see you two together. Man, hearing Stuart speak Thai felt like...I dunno, home? It's not my native language, but it's one I lived in, every day, for a few short years. There is a certain warmth I associate that language. ฟังแล้วรู้สึกอบอุ่น How many mistakes in that tiny sentence 555. (The number 5 is 'haa' in Thai, so 555 is a Thai LOL. I think, I might be wrong.) I actually understood without the subtitles. It will be a long time before I can do that in Japanese, if ever. Languages are just hard, there's no getting around it. With Thai, I was immersed in it, plus I found the language itself interesting. I wanted to know what was going on, so I carried a dictionary around to read the signage. I read magazines on topics that interested me, that I already knew something about. These things helped me keep learning. With Japanese, it's harder, and slower, because I'm not in Japan, but it's improving bit by bit. Maybe in a couple years I'll be able to hold a halting conversation. But 30 days? No way, gurus. เจือกันอีกไม่นาน またあとで

  28771. First time I see American speaks Japanese and Chinese fluently. I am a Japanese live in Hawaii I don’t know Chinese but i have Chinese friends say your Chinese is perfect. How come you learned both Asian languages? Many Americans I know they are not interested to learn Asian language. You are exception have ambition and aspiration. By the way I’ve never met Japanese who speak multi language not just English. You are fabulous. Good luck your adventure. Aloha.

    1
  28777. This video is really cool! I think these kind of conversations are one of the best ways to overcome your first "fear" of speaking a language you are not familiar with. When Japan will open its borders again i'll study japanese in Tokyo for a month and see how it goes, fingers crossed😁

  28778. Haters are just sad and frustrated people with nothing better to do instead of voicing their envy against the accomplishments of others. These people need to get a life.

  28784. Actually if you transform your channel into one where you stay overnight in creepy places and talk to ghosts in Japanese and Chinese, you may double your subscribers. You'd be a language/ghost buster channel.

  28788. I usually speak only short sentences. How did you memorize sentences? Did you read aloud or something...?

  28789. She kinda looks like annie from AOT. Is it just me who thinks that? 😂

  28790. There you go again blowing people's mind with your special gift. I have to say that I love seeing you in action. Then sadly you make the arrogant people look like dumbness. I speak a little; very Chinese, a little Japanese, because I live in Japan for two years. I also was married to a Japanese woman, of course. I even speak a little Tagalog. Because I grow up in San Francisco. I will not live there now. Thank you, Pearl, for your lessons. GOD bless you again.

  28791. Great cliff hanger

  28793. Hahaha I laughed when you were talking about the packaging... I spend some time in China and I can remember when I bought these jelly sweets is would be in a big bag with all these small packagings of sweet in them!!! It was madness...🤣🤣🤣

  28796. Ugh, people are so disgusting and disappointing. I’ve been watching this channel for a while now and there’s nothing but good times and positivity here. I swear some people exist just to bring others down. For reals, if this is you go fly a kite some place. There’s more than enough BS going on on YouTube, the world etc than to have folks leisure time walked on by your idiocy. 💯
    1
  28797. The way you switch language is mechanical! It's like an automatic transmission on a vehicle (ok that sounds weird). Anyway, this is the first time I saw your video. Really like it! Cheers!

  28813. Oh my gosh I just found your channel and its amazing. I really want to move to Japan.. but How did you get a Visa to allow you to stay?

  28814. Hmm, you're an interesting person. You're the complete opposite of 'Laoshu' who appears to require praise and commendation on a regular basis.

  28817. I am a bit late to the party but here is my perspective as a youtube consumer and language fan: The clickbait titles need to go. If it's really about the love of language, a person shouldn't need to make clickbait to be seen or get advertising revenue. Once those things get priority it's no longer about the language or culture anymore--it's about making money. Since one of the critics of the "Trad Polyglot community" brought it up, he's not off base once we account for the "algorithm" excuse. A person will learn a language and culture from love with or without money and chasing the fabled algorithm shows us what really is on their mind. For me, the videos with the most value are the travel videos where the person took time to learn the language and interact with the people in their country. Top of my list are Sabbatical and Bald-n-Bankrupt. The interactions aren't petty "Hi, how are you, I like your national dish" level canned stuff that these street fluff videos show. The conversations can sometimes seem awkward, but, there is a significant amount of genuine love and connection going on when native speakers see that they have some basic command of the language. A good example of this is the recent video series by Bald about the Trans-Siberian railway. He deals with drunks, curious fringe folks, taxi drivers, store clerks, and old ladies on the street. One of the most memorable scenes for me was him talking to some lady in a small town's museum about her home-town pride and how life changed from the USSR -> 90s -> now. Another was his conversations in the Caucasus with drivers and taxi drivers. In the Trans-Siberian videos he talks to his driver in Perm about the tank base(a very non-typical uncanned conversation). While he sometimes says or does edgy things for showmanship, Bald is most certainly a good demonstration of how a person can take basic language skills and apply them and get by in a non-English environment. With regard to Sabbatical, he had a chat in Rwanda with a guide while they sat over dinner. They discussed the impact of the Genocide on life and how people are moving forward there. Tommy has sat with countless people at bars or in markets discussing daily life and demonstrating how one can build connections with locals during one's travels. While I respect Laoshu(Moses) and Xiaoma for being willing to go out of their comfort zones at home and connect with "foreigners at home", I don't think they do a service to language learners for exactly the reason you state: it perpetuates the stereotype that certain kinds of people never learn languages. People may get a kick out of hearing their language but the connections are usually more shallow because the videos are about getting as many 2 sentence conversations in as possible. These are just my thoughts as an American expat who lives in 2 languages and learns several on the side.

  28819. I think he exemplifies that people from all walks of life can be so talented. That Social media is bad in its behavior to attack people people because of nationalistic ideals. We are one world. One people on one world. We should embrace everyone and amplify talent like his.

  28821. I’ve been on and off with learning Japanese for years now, and since I’ve been watching so many of your videos lately, I’ve taken your words to heart and am using Japanese Pod 101. In your videos that I’ve watched previously to this, you talked about how you sometimes had to put money into your passion for things to come to fruition. I’m glad that your videos were recommended to me, because you’ve put things in perspective and really inspired me! Thanks, Anming! Keep doing what you do and thanks for being an inspiration! I’m sure I can speak for lots of folks here!

  28840. As a Japanese learner(work in progress) I would love it if you could add Japanese subtitles as well in these kind of videos where you interact with natives. I know it takes a lot of extra time but please consider this request since this will be really beneficial for learners of the language. ♡
    1
  28841. These videos are great. It's funny how people all over the world (I've travelled a lot) are so comfortable talking about how others "look" and asking about origins.... but in the west we are being told we are racist if we dare make a judgement or ask a question.

  28844. There sure are some languages out there way to far away from each other in the composition of the sentences, and even the words to be learned all at once, but if you take languages that comes from the same family and learn them together, you can do it, because they have the same structure like italian, french, spanish, portugese and romanian all comes from latin, have the same gramatical structure in sentences and have a lot of the same worlds. Whithin those language families you also have catalan and corsican that are a mix of spanish and french, and french and italian, so they are easy to learn and quick to pick up on once you know at least tre of the other languages. Another cathegory is the nordic languages. They all share a bunch of the same words, exept from that, they all come from the same family, germanic languages. Where you also can find dutch, frisian, german, afrikaan, and some sublanguages as well, those can be learned grouped as well. Same for the sentence formations for those languages. English is a composed language so the people starting out from english as a language can pick up a lot from latin languages, greek, and specially from the germanic language family. Also, there are a lot of countries where they learn 2 or 3 languages to start with,and then english plus one or two other foreign languages extra, so we can't really dismiss them as being fake, however, japanese, corean and chinese, would be a very different cathegory of languages, and can't be learned all at once.

  28868. Lol learning Spanish in school in a non Spanish speaking environment doesn’t get u anywhere. Spoken from a student in America who took Spanish for 4 years. Like everyone says, you’ve got to speak daily with actual hispanohablantes. What u learn from textbook is not exactly how it’s spoken today— like with slang. If u want to truly learn the language, you have to keep up with the times, otherwise you’re still speaking a foreign language (a language foreign to everyone including yourself because it’s not spoken now)

While you should edit your videos to share what you want and keep private what you want so that you enjoy making them and we enjoy watching them, all sorts of things can be interesting for all sorts of reasons.

As for my own experience, I do American Sign Language (ASL) and I'll sign around my Kids trying to get them into and have had people say some not so nice things to which they are quickly put in check as I tend to be a defender of the hearing impaired community, or most of the time it is not anything bad just awe he can't hear of sympathy, which I do say nah I hear you just fine and there's a good laugh.

  28897. Hi Anming! I was so shy in elementary school that they would mistakenly put me into ESL classes at the beginning of the school year. It was always funny to see the ESL teachers' surprise when I started to speak fluent English when I was more comfortable. Now, as an adult, I'm a social butterfly and I love talking to strangers wherever I go especially when I travel on vacation. A STRANGER IS A FRIEND YOU HAVEN'T MET YET.

  28902. That "anime motorcycle" was pretty cool. I fully understand that, as I have Japanese interests myself (BabyMetal music, Yotsuba manga) despite my advanced years. Never quite grew up. Maybe you could do an episode on American things you see unexpectedly in Japan. It surprises me to see so many English words on signs in Asia, and not just as a bilingual thing. We have picked up many Japanese words (anime, manga, karaoke, haiku, kamikaze). Are there any English words that turn up unexpectedly? And do Japanese people really understand them? (And I don't mean places like the airport or subway, where bi-lingual signs are commonplace).

  28903. Hello Miss Oriental Pearl. You are one of my favorite people and the bff, I never had. Hahaha. I hope you are feeling much better in regard to this topic. I believe you just want some respect, recognition and appreciation for your many years of nonstop hard work in learning Japanese and Chinese. That's why we are here on your channel because we love and appreciate you. We are trying to follow in your footsteps. Try to remember to always keep a great attitude being humble and less prideful. Self respecting yes but a little less prideful. You must remember that you are somewhat of an anomaly. A tall blond haired, blue eyed westerner, speaking Chinese and Japaneses, like a native. Wow!!! I know there are more and more like you theses days but it's not the norm. It should be but it's not. America, being a country of immigrants, has always encouraged new immigrants to assimilate as much as possible and become American and speak not your native language.......... not English but.......'Merican. Hahaha!!!!! Now, Americans are trying to erase history and become who knows what. As you know, if you don't study history, you are doomed to repeat it. Sorry for digressing. As a culture, America has not always embraced other cultures and their languages (although, that's changing). Chinese and Japanese people are shocked to find this American speaking their languages with authority and command. They are not used to it. Most, seem to love you but some will hate you. They have pride too. Also, consider the current geopolitics of the east vs. the west. Please keep in mind that some people are illiterate and not educated. You, speaking their language, may spark a bit a pain in their hearts. Lastly, try to remember that they cannot see all your hard work, studying, sacrifice, expensises and tears. You, will often be a novelty and for now, an anomaly they cannot believe even exists. There, will always be those who treat you as a native. Also, there are those who will treat you as an resident alien because......well your are an alien.........until you obtain citizenship. Keep that pretty smile and let your great positive/humble attitude guide you. You will be successful in all your endeavors. Remember, we are here for you. If you have any problems, you tell me. I will come over there and straighten them out.😄 God bless you always in your life and in your studies.❤✌😎

  28922. Hi Anming. In your video, you said that you chose Anming because your real name also starts with the letter A, therefore, I'm going to guess that your American name is AMY. You look like an Amy and Anming sounds a bit like Amy. I also thought your name could be ANN or AMBER but you look more like an AMY. Did I guess correctly? 😄😄😄

  28941. I'm confused... people have a problem with making videos about shocking native because you speak their language? Why? When I'm in Japan people are shocked all the time when i speak Japanese but i've never made a video before but considering making one next time.. People really gotta make a problem out of everything? I think they're just ignorant

  28945. Hi Anming, I always pick up something new from your videos, thanks for making them! I've been interested in Japanese culture - and the language in particular - ever since I was young. I usually tell people that I can follow normal conversation, but for highly technical or scientific contexts, I still find it difficult. That app you mentioned, HelloTalk, seems like a really great idea! Nowadays, since finding language "sparring partners" has been a bit difficult, I watch Japanese videos on social media; sometimes they have subtitles, more often than not, they don't. I end up pausing quite often to look for words in the dictionary, and rewinding because I still have a bit of trouble catching everything when Japanese is spoken rapid-fire (for non-native speakers, normal for them!)

  28951. Worldwide the more we learn from each other the more we become true neighbors to one another. I’m not very smart but I made it my goal to learn how to say hello in every language possible. It’s a small start but I never want anyone to feel left out of the loop. A warm hello is always a good beginning.

The guy looked like he worked for the train station and when I asked him he started yelling at me in Japanese. Not sure what got him so mad but ya I think I know what ur referring to. Once Covid is over think I will give Osaka and Kyoto a try =)

  28962. Your social skills are unbelievable. Just seems like youve known them for years.

  28963. This is amazing! Just now because of quarantine I took the courage to start learning chinese, but I get really frustated specially bcs I don't go to "formal classes", plus it's really expensive here to find chinese classes, since I live in South America (ofc my first language is spanish), do you have any recommendation?

  28967. Congratulations. Love your channel. Hope everything works out for the two of ye.

  28968. You have to be extremely smart and not be shy to learn other languages. I can speak a little Spanish but I hate when people laugh if I try to speak it. Makes me not wanna learn more. I'm just super shy about it 🤷
    1
  28969. I've always wanted to move to a new country! I'm really scared :( . But, I just started watching your channel and it doesn't seem as scary anymore. I'm also definitely more motivated to start learning Korean again.

  28977. these are some quality videos you are dishing out
    1
  28978. I do believe that the results may differ in the states. Many asians don't develop that surprise until they reach the states and discover that nobody speaks anything beyond English. So the excitement comes with "Oh, an American finally knows my language and respects my home country! After 10 years here I've found one that speaks my language!" One person you've mentioned before: Xiaomanyc did put out a video speaking Spanish in public wherein the people were not interested in the least (not great for views). I think this is fairly representative - if an American learns a language out here, it is almost always Spanish. Visit California sometime and test this theory. There are a lot of Mandarin speakers out here for ya to chat with!

  28983. I think it's very intersting!Anming,You should put more effort into cooking

  28984. I agree with you that travellers need to chat with Japanese when they go there, especially if they've learned Japanese. I've been studying Japanese for over 4 years and I want to be able to communicate like you have been, when I visit.

  28987. Interesting topic, it is very apparent that languages can open some interesting doors. You have the advantage 👍. I however, am disadvantaged being Japanese, that doesn't really speak any Japanese, in a country that expects their language to be spoken, "generally" most of the time. Here's hoping that more multi-cultural societies become excepting to one another for future generations. Keep up the good work. Cheers All.

  28994. I wonder if I can call myself a polyglot or multilingual? I was born and raised in the US and can speak Punjabi and Hindi from my mom and Japanese from my dad. I can speak Spanish pretty well since I studied it for 9 year throughout my school years. And I learned bits and pieces of Chinese and Korean from when I traveled there. I can understand French but I can't speak it. I don't think I can call myself fluent in any of those languages, so what am I?

  29016. I know this feeling, it usually drags me down hard. I had to leave the US in January not sure where to go, as I had no place to live anywhere, still don't have a proper home. I wanted to go back to the US in May. But, nope, I won't be able to go back for a long time as it seems. Now I'm hoping for Shanghai, just like you. The EU is publishing a list tomorrow. Countries they open up again for travel. China is currently not on that list. It could be, but only if China lets EU citizens back in as well. We'll see what happens in the next few days, or weeks. It's tough, my friends are also stranded all over the world. Visa troubles, job troubles,... #叹

  29018. I would love to learn Japanese badly, But due to my disability. It's kinda hard to learn, I have ADHD and short term tension span. For me to learn a language took me 3years to 5yrs to learn Korean just only the 1 level. :/ feel kinda a shame............. I still want to learn both of them if only someone have the patient for it @Oriental Pearl

  29024. Anming, how come there are so many Chinese residing in Japan. The area you lived in, in Tokyo is full of them and then you have this Yokohama Chinatown which is fair enough as it is after all a Chinatown. Yes, even a frequent viewer of your video blog, I feel an affinity for you and very proud of you.

  29032. Great video. So the main points for me; Pros: Cycling is common. Great for me, as I don't own a car and hope I never have to. I hate sitting still while strapped inside a metal box that also pollutes the environment, so Japan looks great in this respect. Cons: The different types of food will convert you. Unfortunately I'm a strict vegan and none of that looked compatible with my personal ideology. heh... guess I'd better get good at cooking!

  29033. Awe that's a cool cake!

  29038. I've been to many of those same places! I loved Saitama!!! Kawagoe has some of my favorite spots, the people there are really nice. I'm a big Kamen Rider fan, I went to visit two popular filming locations out there. Met some fellow Rider fans. We had a good time chatting and they took me around for a couple hours to meet other friends and see their shops. You should try to check out Iwafune. Beautiful scenery and the people are fun. I had people pulling over their cars to say hi!! Bizarre, but welcoming for sure!

  29062. The one thing you can say about YouTube is that there is a plethora of contradictory content. If someone makes videos about how much they love apples, guaranteed there's people making videos about how much they don't like apples. This concept isn't unique to any genre and is pretty consistent across the board. Another example is how much I dislike clickbait titles. I can go make videos about it all I want but guaranteed there are people making videos about why they love clickbait titles and probably trying to validate them by listing out "benefits" of that bored to death tactic. At the end of the day, it's YouTube. You (the viewer) gets to curate your viewing experience. If you love it, like it. If you don't love it, move along.

  29067. Hello Pearl , So i've actually been watching your vids for quite some time and I really enjoyed them tho this is my first time commenting haha. Im planning to relearn Japanese and Mandarin so I can improve my accent and be able to speak these languages fluently again , havent used the language in awhile hence yea. So I was wondering what would be a good way to start ? Im currently thinking about studying the N4 for the JLPT and likely the HSK for mandarin or should I try pimsleur ? Proabably the Topik for korean later down the road

    1
  29072. Awesome. More Americans should make efforts to be fluent in different languages....or try to learn a few words, just to put smiles on faces! I've said it before and I'll say it again, when I learned my neighbor was Eritrean, I learned how to say Thank you in his native Tigrinya. Years later, at a hot-dog stand with a couple of my rather drunk friends, I asked the female vendor, where she was from. "Eritrea", was the answer. I thanked her in her native language: Yekeniyeley Her response was a magnificent smile, with some confusion a white man said it. I hope I made her night, with that simple effort of a single word. It surely made mine:) We're all in this together folks, we have more in common than our differences of language, origin, religion or hue of skin. There are no races, we are one species. Human.

  29081. Ok OK Ok I subscribed. The only thing that I know is the difference between Boston accent and New Hampshire accent because I was born in Ohio. Not gonna lie. MMMM I slso saw some posts by a guy who does this everywhere and bombs Chinatown in NYC. I think he does a good job of picking up parts of various languages ~ skill there. And then there is Jazmine Sachiko Ross I think British, who has shared that she was raised and educated in Japan's public school system. ~ a very brave person. So... Thanks for this. 😎

  29118. Japanese praise foreigners when they speak Japanese. But I can't understand that foreigners have negative feelings that they are treated as aliens. Japanese people are happy that foreigners study Japanese. I'm glad you tried hard to communicate in Japanese! I praise it. There are no negative feelings. 日本人は外国人が日本語を話すと褒める。 でも外国人は宇宙人扱いされたと否定的な感情になるのが理解できない。 日本人は、外国人が日本語を勉強してくれて嬉しい！一生懸命日本語で伝えようとしてくれて嬉しい！と思って褒めてる。 何の否定的な感情もない。

  29138. Whenever you can do an entire 10+ hour course on Udemy IN a foreign language, then you can claim fluency in a language. I can do this in the major Romance languages with the exception of Romanian, and its Slavic vocabulary comes from the southern Slavic languages like Bulgarian (which I don't know!). I can understand maybe 50% of courses in German and Russian. I ignored Spanish for years in favor of Portuguese, but that helped me acquire a lot more vocabulary in Spanish. I'm thinking of doing the same with Polish to help with my Russian, as crazy as that sounds.

  29147. It's funny how here in Finland we speak the hardest and one of the least useful language in the world and when someone foreigner speaks fluent Finnish no one is surprised at all although they could have spent that time studying more important languages. Mandarin chinese, after all is the second most important language after English :D

  29165. Interesting he wanted you to move to North Carolina that's the state I'm from!　中国語じゃないけど、日本語を勉強しょうって思いました理由とほぼ同じ、僕は、4年間独学で日本語を勉強して、ノースカロライナ州に住んでも、日本語を話せるようになりました、もう3年間、日本語で配信しています、いつでも日本人と話せる環境が大事ですね、未来で中国語も勉強しょうかなー、考えてます。。。back to English for a second I really need to change my study habits...or the way I've been doing things because I focused so much on speaking and listening study wise I've gone way off track and stay in my comfort zone with Japanese... I need to go back to being super uncomfortable with what I'm looking at to progress I think. This video was very motivational for me. ありがとうございます

  29166. Thanks for the video - I enjoy your "slice of life/POV" type videos. I'm in the USA. My job is on the phone and I often speak to people who were born elsewhere so English is at least a second language for them. Almost every time, these callers speak nearly flawless English and apologize for their poor language skills. I have flat out told a few of them that their English is better than many people I speak with who were born and raised in the USA. I would imagine that sufficient Japanese knowledge/fluency/confidence might produce a similar result.

This world is becoming a singularity, and polyglot are going to succeed. And they should. Investing time and effort in this area is wise.

  29175. Impressive but I guess that if you live and study in a country, after 8 years you have to speak fluently, right? Requires effort, perseverance and dedication but it’s not a thing of super intelligent and smart people. Anyone can learn a new language.

They also are prison guards. The untouchables are not allowed to marry with regular Japanese people they may change their koseki two new Japaneseshin Nixon Jin so I have heard there’s probably many yakuza who are untouchable too. They do the jobs that normal people don’t want to do.

  29182. The locals were probably so chilled about the earthquake because of a constant continuous threat to them - being surrounded by bellicose, psychotic neighbours with North Korea on one side and China on the other. With friendly neighbours like that would you really care about tectonic plates shifting or the odd poisonous fish?

  29183. Maybe its me, but I felt like that girl in the beginning, who lived in New Zealand, was somewhat rude/fake. The aggressive nature in which she asked, " why are you here," was very condescending and most of the conversation she seemed very disingenious. But, as usual Oriental Pearl handled it with class, and didn't give it a second thought. Well played! Kill em with kindness!

  29192. People following random white people in Japan is actually quite common, me and some friends from England regularly get followed by random old guys in suits and we don't really know why. There aren't really very specific stalking laws in Japan that cover following people so you should be careful, it's usually harmless if a bit weird but some people have been known to take their nosiness to claiming to be an investigator/police and asking for passports and stuff or trying to find where you live. Had a guy follow me to my apartment once and try to invite himself in to "show me how to use everything". I said I already know and he still kept insisting until I raised my voice which scared him away. If I'm a guy and something like that can happen to me I wouldn't want to be a woman alone in that situation, it was pretty late at night.

I was really debating if I should of studied in the less populated areas and now I might be disappointed I didn't! So i am worried. I really hope I get lucky and get some decent teachers 🙏. Thanks for sharing your experience and if I don't like it, I really hope it will still be a learning experience. Have you heard anything about ISI being good or bad?

  29222. Thanks for making this video. The mochi hitting the shoe scene was hilarious. If anything, it dispels my wrong childhood impression that people in Japan are germophobes, when that's not really the case. The parts where you're caught unawares by the Akita dog was so cute. Speaking of Japanese language schools, this video reminded me of my three years spent in Japan Foundation's Nihongo course here in Manila, Philippines. While the teacher proportion is half-and-half native speaker and Filipino teachers of Nihongo, the classes were actually enjoyable because there is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The Japanese nationals themselves are not as uptight as some of their counterparts in Japan. They encourage students to ask questions during class and even after class if there is anything they didn't understand in the lesson. The teachers embodied the 'cultural exchange' ideal that Japan Foundation promotes in its actual name (国際交流基金). Having said that, formal classes are not for everyone, especially not for those who don't enjoy being given homework and hate class seat-work. Students will do better to supplement their study with a combination of self-study, enthusiastic media consumption in the language they are studying (in my case, Japanese punk and metal music and food-based manga like Oishinbo and Cooking Papa), and attending events where they can meet and speak with native speakers. Most countries outside Japan, especially Southeast Asia, have a local Japan Foundation branch and a Nihonjin Kai (equivalent to Jaycees or Rotary Club-style business/culture associations). These organizations have regular events mainly held for Japanese expats but they also welcome non-Japanese who love the culture and are learning the language.

  29223. Once I was sitting at a table with a company of natives. We were eating and having fun together during the lunch time. Then I hear them talking shit about me right in front of me thinking I don't understand them. I understood everything. No country, no names. But just remember that it happens literally almost anywhere. The only thing you can do about it is to choose the right people to make friends with and be nice.

  29225. I honestly think it is just genuine curiosity when they follow you around. After all you speak their language and you are a good loking woman. When you speak their language it goes to their hearts and tears down that barrier people keep up to guard themselves.

  29227. I’m from Slovakia, which means my mother language is Slovak, but I also speak Czech fluently, since the languages are really similar(after all, we did use to be one country). I recently saw this video of a guy who went to some place with a lot of foreign people from different countries and he was speaking to them in their languages, pretending that he’s a polyglot who speaks a lot of languages. I couldn’t really tell whether he was good at them or not since I didn’t speak any of those languages but then he started talking to somebody in what was supposedly “Czech” except I didn’t understand what he was saying at all. I looked at the comments and almost all of them were talking about how they couldn’t understand nearly any of the languages he spoke. It really angers me when people just title their video something like “Polyglot Pranking People By Speaking Multiple Languages” or something like that and yet they maybe only speak like 3 or 4 languages well.

I don't know for what reasons, but it's been said that sticking q-tips in your ears is one of the worst things you can do to your ears besides plugging your nose and then blowing your eardrum.

  29260. I think there is dichotomy between foreigners in Asia. Some go to live, work, or vacation and don't feel the need to learn the local language, but would like to be served in their own language. Others go wanting to learn the local language, because it is at the very least polite, or because it makes operating in the country easier. I have met people who were very proud that they lived in Asia in their foreign language bubble, for many years. I personally believe that in more homogeneous cultures and language groups, they run into more foreigners who speaks their own language slower and louder expecting to be understood. Therefore when they encounter a visible foreigner who can speak their language to greater and even lesser degrees they are happy to encourage and praise the individual.

  29267. Those 6 myths comes from the biggest misconception that there is one Asian culture shared commonly in countries of different cultures. Until almost the last decade of 20th century, they didn’t go to each other countries all though histories. Going to China from Japan had been more difficult than going to the moon all through history. For example, the famous Chinese Buddhism monk in 7th century was asked to come to Japan for teaching, He tried to sail to Japan by ship for five times in 12 years but failed at all of them and turned blind because of lack of vitamins during sailing and at the 6th sailing, finally he succeeded in coming to Japan while other monks wouldn’t because they heard that only one out of 100 trials of sailing to Japan could be successful and didn’t want to risk their lives. 7th century is the almost only century when Japan learned the most ,mainly the buddhism and the legal system from Tang dynasty in China and except for the 7th century, the cultural influence from abroad mostly from China had been very little until the other cultural impacts from abroad from the 19th century to 20th century mainly from USA, France, Prussia and UK . But even in such 7th century, the reality was like that. No intermarriages among royals of each countries unlike Europe No continuous relationship of people to each other unlike Europe No same religion unlike Europe. No language similarities to each other unlike Europe The term Asia is not self describing term. Beijing is the capital of China legally and the westerners have never doubted that and they want to fo to the forbidden city for sight seeing. But for Japanese, the capital of China has been Xian until today and in fact Japanese people are more interested in the culture of west part of China like Xinjiang, Gansu and Shaanxi. Nara- Xian -Duan -Xinjiang are the cultural connected line. In Japan of the 7th century , there used to be central asians working from the place called Xinjiang or Gansu today. But Nothing from other part of China feels culturally connected to Japan at all. For Korean, I am sure that the capital of China has been Nanjing even today in their heart.

  29270. Britain coined Yankee. I’m not going to research now, but “Yankee Doodle” at the very least implies aaa “superficial self actualization of a nation” also while making fun of The Colonies attempt at independence they are encouraging to “keep the women handy” because there was definitely occupation. It definitely wasn’t a naval war since it was a rag-tag revolution where the famous German general organized the military (idk name) and the also famous Marquis de Lafayette helped greatly. But of course anyone above Virginia is a Yankee and idk the connotation but nobody in the north cares, southerners would take insult (depending “nowadays “). Well, hope that was fun. I like song analytics as well as history and lingo analytics. So insult, but no one cares or has the concept to be offended. Fun video, Hope I get as good as you. 頑張りよ (I gotta trust that’s the right kanji)

People in Korea are the same - I went a whole evening with my closest Korean friends, with green onion stuck in my teeth, and no one told me! My own friends! But I digress. Anyway, I had dinner with a friend in Kyoto and got the opportunity to introduce her to the 'you've got a friend' approach. She thought it was a genius way to broach the topic in a lighthearted, yet indirect way LOL

  29286. When I moved to Japan a long, long,........LONG time ago, I purposely moved to a working class neighborhood. I learned to speak reasonably comfortably much quicker than other Americans and Europeans who often moved to areas where foreigners tended to cluster together. I ended up speaking Osaka-ben before using a more polished Hyoujingo. The good part was I learned so much more of Osakan culture than I would have had I first moved to the Kanto.

  29295. Loved the conversation, Anming! (Just as a suggestion - might want to keep the camera a bit further back to get a bit more area into the frame, also might be better to keep the camera above the eye level, dunno why, but it just looks better that way!) Great video otherwise, cheers!

  29322. The arguments presented against the culture are a stretch. Let's explore the argument that you guys fool people into thinking that they can learn a language in no time for monetary reasons. Learning a language is a skill and not everyone processes language the same way. Some are good at it and some aren't. But that doesn't mean that one cannot develop the skill to process multiple languages. So basically you're encouraging people to try and hone their language skills just like people who are good with numbers encourage us to learn math. But we don't complain about all the math channels fooling us into thinking that we can become good at math right? So what's all this outrage about? It makes no sense.

  29323. Everybody in these videos are always so sweet, it'd be cool to meet more people like that. I'm trying to learn Japanese on my own because I eventually want to go to Japan and attend a language school

  29324. Alright, is the water level that low? Or did they just really over-compensate the depth of that ravine? That's been bothering me and forgot to ask.

  29325. nice vid. advice from an oldtimer. NEVER date someone who is even mildly jealous. that is a mistrust of you not anyone else and more often than not, that person is untrustworthy. they cheat or have cheated and then think, if i can cheat then so will she. dump him now. if there is jealousy now, then it will only get worse. why waste the time? 3.5 billion men in the world so pickings are good. lol. you laid it on pretty thick with the joking about jealousy so you must be quite worried. on the flip side, its your life so...........

  29330. Fascinating to see (and try to appreciate) the extreme order and obedience that the East Asian culture places on learning and working environments. If you’ve seen the documentary “American Factory”, you’ll see how Chinese companies are teaching the managers who oversee the Midwest American industrial factories, now bought-out and under Chinese management, how the Chinese view Americans as constantly needing validation and encouragement to to complete the most menial of tasks. So they’re basically teaching the mangers to treat the American workers with “kid gloves”. And IMO they’re not really wrong, but the militaristic viewpoint of driving hard labor and learning really destroys a person’s ability to be an individual and blossom in their own creativity and personal learning style. But I do personally think there is a stricter discipline needed in American education settings. I have a lot to say on this topic but I’ll just keep it to what I’ve written here. Love love love ❤️ your content Oriental Pearl!

  29331. When that old man said that his family were atomic bomb survivors from Nagasaki, I thought it might have led to an awkward moment between the two of you with you being American, but thankfully there was non of that. He was merely telling you as an interesting fact about his family. I think the Japanese police have done a decent job in taking on the Yakuza in the same way that the Italian police faced their mafia problems. I believe they had to, as the Yakuza had somehow been integrated into various aspects of Japanese culture such as anime and video games, and there was a danger of another generation growing up thinking it would be somehow 'cool' being part of it, and showing off the tattoos and severed little finger to identify themselves as Yakuza. It's great if the authorities have really taken them on and are winning the battle, and haven't just driven the sub-culture underground - out of sight of tourists and the middle classes. Well done for highlighting the subject anyway. Good luck and stay safe. From Steve in England, UK.

  29332. Crossing chopsticks to use them is actually really common among Asians, I guess some people just find that easier lol. I spent a lot of time getting good with chopsticks before I even went anywhere near Asia, when my family ordered Chinese food (the British version of it anyway) we had these fancy chopsticks and dishes we'd bring out like a huge event just for that lol. I ended up getting used to it and my grip is pretty damn good. It's just an instrument for eating food though I don't know why some people seem to think it's important or that anybody cares. Nobody in Europe ever got mad if somebody eats spaghetti with a knife and fork instead of using a fork and spoon.

  29343. Anming, I’ve started watching other Vloggers on Utube from JAPAN 🇯🇵 and you’re most sincerely the Best at interacting, conversations are definitely interesting, your concepts are exceptionally done ✅ for each episode. I didn’t realize how True it Is that Japanese are so “shy” and I thought my own Race was. You most certainly have a way with breaking the ice 🧊 by just being open and joyful. Good Job 👍🏽.

  29345. i feel like if you’re in bigger cities, especially in the middle of tokyo, they don’t pay attention to race as much bc theres so many more foreigners compared to years ago i went to elementary school in tokyo and there were like 4 ppl who ethnically werent japanese (half or full) in my class but it didn’t affect anything i do remember there was this kid who moved from okinawa and he was treated like a foreigner 😭😭 (not in a bad way but it was funny)

  29347. I’m sure you have a lot of information about the U.S. you want to pass to Tommy before his visit. But I’m sure he will be overwhelmed by one aspect of America-it’s size.

  29356. You remind me of xiaoma in nyc. You both have good energy and great personalities and embrace Asian languages. I subscribed to his channel because it’s priceless seeing the walls come down when you can speak to people in their language. In a time of social distancing, you are bridging the gap with language. I will subscribe to you for more feel good language stories...

  29366. I was in a small town called Blaenoufestiniog in Wales once with my dad. We went into a pub that he was doing a singing gig in and the people in there started speaking in Welsh. I sat at the bar sampling some beer while my dad was setting up (I was a great roadie haha) and 4 Welsh customers were talking in Welsh. I felt a bit uneasy like they were talking about me, but then I heard the words Steak and Cheese Sandwich, so I said in English, "Are you guys talking about Subway", the said Yes, and I said "Cool, I can understand Welsh" and they all started laughing and then switched to English then, it really broke the ice.

  29405. Orientalさん。なんとなく荒れてる感じですね。私は英語苦手ですから、日本語のコメントしか分かりませんが、 なんとなく、最初の女の子2人組が韓国の制服を着てる事に文句言ってる人がいますが、 確かに日本と韓国は歴史的に愛譲れなくなってる事が多々ありますが、 だからと言って、日本の女の子が韓国の制服着ようが、アメリカのチアリーダーのユニフォーム着ようが、イスラムのブルカを纏おうが誰も文句は言えないし、個人の自由です。 日本は、個人的にはアメリカ以上に自由な国で自己主張が出来る国です。 だから、日本のアニメやゲームは発展しました。 日本の女性が全員着物着てる訳じゃないし、原宿スタイルの服を着てる訳じゃないです。 偏見のある方が、いろいろ文句を言ってると思います。 だから、気にしないで。Orientalさんが感じたままの日本を発信して大丈夫です。 ただ、、日本語字幕はあったら嬉しいですけどね😂

  29408. I was getting tired of seeing so many recent videos praising Japan. I think it would be good to let people around the world know about these aspects of Japan that people don't often get to know about. This is the reality of Japan.

  29422. Watching your videos, I can understand nearly everything you're saying in japanese even though I'm around n4-low n3 level. This makes me realize you don't need to be 超ペラペラ to just have a fun conversation with strangers in japanese, you just need to be able to communicate the most important things and you'll be fine.

  29423. Japan looks so cool and the dishes looks so delicious 😋 👌 I wish I can visit one day. Great video

  29424. Im taking Japanese classes and I’m pretty good at memorization but it’s the whole application thing and context that gets me. I always get shy when I’m around people who speak because I don’t want to offend them but this showed me that you just have to try. I understand a little bit of the Japanese you spoke which is a good start! I’m motivated now to keep learning. <3

  29425. So nice to see you again Anming🌹for me going China is still a dream, my grandfather was from Honkkou Fijian and I have so many relatives there, I really enjoy watching your vlogs 😊 TC, stay safe and healthy 🙏🙏🙏

  29431. Dude , you're so dang cool >_<, hope you're okay & safe :]

  29432. Yeah everything you say in this video is true haha. The thing is I enjoy a lot of those polyglot videos (the way I enjoy doughnuts or twizzlers) even though I realize quite quickly that they can't actually hold a conversation in all or any of the languages they claim to know. I'm not upset about that unless they're deliberately trying to infer true fluency. I remember one guy who put out a video about "my method for learning a language in 3 weeks". Which was complete bullshit of course. I think that's obvious for anyone who is trying to learn a new language. I've been studying French for years, and it will be another 5 before I can say I'm fluent. Even then I won't 'inhabit' the language like a truly fluent person because language isn't just about learning the words it's about expressing yourself in a particular way which resonates with the culture. So when I see a person such as yourself speaking Japanese I can feel your fluency even though I don't speak Japanese myself because you appear to have the little cultural cues, like how you cover your mouth and your nose when you laugh to express mild embarrassment. Similarly in French, Jodie Foster has all those little French cues which makes me think 'wow, now there is a truly bilingual person'. So yeah, there are a lot of fake polyglots, but this is the internet we're talking about here and there is a lot of fake everything. So let's not take them too seriously, they're just going for the easy click-views. You on the other hand would have the ability to make truly insightful videos on Japan. I love Japanese culture so I'm happily subscribing!

  29436. I went to Japan last August and even though I speak about as much Japanese as someone from the sticks is expected it was quite easy to manage at least in the more urban areas since most of everything I needed to do I could point and do what I could in Japanese. Plus all of the service staff everywhere I went we so nice even though my language was poor.

  29449. The comments made by these people are unfortunately pretty common in the internet these days. I put it down to this: Week and feeble people can’t stand seeing others succeed, they can’t stand to see passion and happiness flourish. They would much prefer everyone around them be as miserable and dead inside as they are. I for one love this content, it offers insight into a subject you can’t learn in books - that being human interaction within a culture different to our own (as a westerner). Here in Australia, while we are very multicultural, as I walk the streets - everyone looks like me, because of course they do. The same is obviously not true for a westerner walking the streets of Tokyo or HongKong. The insight into what this is like, is fascinating and I feel that’s kind of the goal of this YT channel.

  29460. I was on on the bus in Manchester, UK and I saw a white guy speaking what sounded like Hindi to an Indian woman. Another time I saw a group of people consisting of British and Indian people speaking Hindi. I was surprised and couldn't help but look at them.

  29468. Your videos are really interesting! Read your description and wanted to note that race, while constructed differently in various social contexts, plays a role in societal reactions towards “westerners” because from the outside, the west’s standing is most attributed by a white American. I’m wondering how the experiences of Black Americans and especially African migrants would play out as well.

  29469. Omg I nearly lost it when the Mike Myers music came on! But to answer your question: people secretly follow you in Japan because they are also looking to make a friend!

  29470. I love these kinds of videos because I am Mexican and know fluent Spanish but I look white and when I speak Spanish I get the same reactions lol. I love it!

  29471. You mean there are FAKE THINGS on YOUTUBE? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I am so 😲 shocked! I think the foreigner-speaking-our-language shock factor has two big drivers, and they are related. One is pronunciation. Most people who learn a language after around the age of eight will always have an accent, no matter how much they study, drill, and converse with people. For example, I know a Vietnamese American who has been here since he was 14, over 40 years, who speaks with a heavy Vietnamese accent. It's what we're used to, and so are Japanese people. If you sound anywhere near native, it's unusual, and it surprises people who are used to hearing foreigners speak with an accent, often quite a strong one. And the media, if course, makes this worse by almost always portraying foreigners as people who speak funny. I have better Japanese pronunciation than some people who are much, much, MUCH better at Japanese than I am, and have shocked Japanese people with my crappy Japanese that sounds better than it actually is. The other factor is race. Not looking Asian marks you. THAT face is making THOSE sounds? WHAAAAAAAAAAAA?! You're not fitting the stereotype, and that shakes people up a bit. And we do that, too. Even though I KNOW language has nothing to do with how a person looks, and that Americans can be from any kind of ethnic or racial background, part of my brain still associates certain facial features with some kind of accent. It's embarrasing, and I feel bad about stereotyping, but the expectation that Asian looking people will speak with an accent persists. When they don't, that little dark corner of my brain goes "huh?", and I have to process. "Oh, they were born here, or came here when they were young. Maybe their family has been here for generations. Just like mine." This, even though my own mother, spoke English as her second language, and her uncle, who I still remember, spoke with an accent.

  29478. Why is this video so wholesome😤😭
    1
  29479. I think content like yours breaks down traditional visual cue-based stereotyping. It may rub folks the wrong way when they are so far away from an immersion based language experience but so close to their keyboards! Your content shows a direct counter to many stereotypes! Way to ruffle feathers and make people think!

  29482. Mandarin Chinese has a very distinctive 'tune' when you listen to it. That isn't to say other languages don't have their own 'tunes' but it seems very pronounced in Mandarin. (I don't know if 'tune' is the right word, but I mean the pattern of tone and rhythm).

  29503. I think a big reason is what you said, chinese people are more open about their opinions and reactions, japanese people don't want to embarass you or make things awkward. Chinese people could walk up to you and tell you how fat you are, meanwhile generally I have a hard time seeing a japanese person ever doing that.

  29504. I found my inspiration

  29507. OMG you guys look like you had so much fun! I'm glad Tommy really enjoyed the differences. It's always so awesome to see peoples reactions to such different things, esp when he's just so new to it. Sadly in a few more visits, it'll be so "normal" to him lol. To be honest, I wouldn't travel in Detroit alone either lol.

  29534. That's not what I experienced in the rural area I lived in. They acted like it's common for foreigners to speak nihongo, might be because the place is near Mt. Fuji therefore lots of foreign tourist, that or many of the foreigners I know can speak japanese. I lived in Fujinomiya. Either way, I had a fun time there.

  29539. Genuinely appreciate how you don't try and make this about yourself at all. Just the interactions that you have because you speak people's language when they don't expect it and the connection that brings. Best type of influencer, just spreading the positivity.

  29542. Firstly, I want to say don’t worry about fitting in. It’s one of those things you cannot control. It’s up there with “omg you’re left handed” or something similar. I honestly think that you can see a difference in the meaning of the phrase “your (insert language) is so good” when it’s said in different places. In Asia people are genuinely praising you whereas the same comment in UK or America might have a patronising tone to it. I’ve found if you stay in one place long enough the community will accept you and you’ll fit right in. Keep up the great videos.

Our kids are born and raised in united states. They are bilingual like my wife and i and we also mix launguages mid sentence when we talk. It,s kinda of funny.

All people after watching it will find themselves uplifted. In all of your videos you are setting a good example, you have a real message, a real purpose to get people in communication with each other. You prove that increasing communication increases affinity and reality and you get people to like you. If enough people follow this example there will be peace on earth. That makes it worth to learn a new language. Communication is the universal solvent. Uplifting really. Thank you.

  29602. Anming, does what I would find impossible, to study 10 or 12 hours on any subject. God I'd be happy to be able to converse for 30 minutes solely in Japanese. Perspective changes everything. I appreciate that you included that you did have struggle's with obtaining your goals. Your dedication and faith in your own abilities is just inspiring. Korea has never been a primary focus country for me which is strange considering, I interact weekly with Korean immigrants whose native language is of course, Korean. Then Cantonese and Mandarin native speakers. So, of course I pick Japanese, the one that I have to actively search out native individuals or for that manner anyone, who can speak the language. I thought about this as I watched your video, and came to the obvious realization that it is Japan itself that calls me. Therefore efforts must be made to achieve a basic level of proficiency in the Japanese language. This video as all of your video's is simple superior and uniquely you. Your approach to life, language learning, and travel just connect with me. I get entertained, learn things, and am inspired in equal parts, by both you and your content. I enjoyed your Korean video's and I assume you'll have further content you have yet to share. Thanks for making the day a little better. I look forward to your future content.

  29624. This video not surprised at all. My sister visited China in 1997. That time tourists from Europe a few in China. When they look around in Tiananmen Square ( Beijing) with its boyfriend a Chinese families start ask My sister can they took pictures together with Her. She is polite and say of course no problem ! For Chinese people its amazing to see blonde girl from Europe ( Estonia). She don´t understand only how many families like make this . So photo session extended to almost one hour. Chinese start fighting who make this first. Uhh must be hard work.....
    1
  29625. Polyglots are a joke. Especially the ones on YouTube. It's all for views. They don't really speak as many languages as they claim to speak. Can they have a discussion on any random topic in all of those languages? Absolutely not. They are not really speaking languages because they just keep spitting out these memorized sentences without giving time for the other person to respond because they will not be able to understand the response and give an appropriate reply to it. I'd rather speak 3 languages fluently than memorize some sentences and pretend to speak 30 language lol.

  29638. Trust me, they are everywhere around this vlog's area - from one of the streets she rode in (my street haha) - I can walk to a Lawson 100 in three minutes, a Natural Lawson and Family Mart in 5 minutes, and six or seven (or more) 7-Elevens in less than ten minutes ;-) The only complaint is there isn't a "normal" Lawson nearby.

  29645. haha love these, if only you had a 360 camera! see people's reactions behind you and such lol. that's too bad you didn't get a fortune cookie though!

  29646. I am so glad to see another video from you! I'm glad to see your health is okay and hope the same is true for Toby. I learned a lot about you from this video that I hadn't seen in your other videos so this was a great one for me. And I now know the true origin of the name Oriental Pearl which in my mind was your nickname or handle that you went by. Because to me you are an Oriental Pearl. I just love your videos and I have been binge-watching this past week to try to catch up on past videos. I guess you want to know the reasons why or how people found your Channel. I have always loved the Japanese and the Chinese language it is so beautiful when spoken and in the back of my mind I had always wanted to learn it and it's something I'm still thinking about but I can identify with you about the time thing I have a lot of things going on and can't really commit to that at this point in my life but I do love the language. So that's one reason I started watching your videos. The other is that you have actually lived in Japan and China and I have always wondered what that would be like and since you have lived in America also I figure it would be like watching what it would be like day today walking around and Japan or China and seen things that are normally not on other channels or in documentaries. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future and hopefully you will sneak one in there of you playing violin. LOL. I just love your sense of humor oh, and quite frankly that is the reason I keep watching your videos now I find you very funny.

  29647. That last shot of Sam taking off on his bike though... I'm so used to seeing the POV from his helmet that seeing him in 3rd person is darn near jarring lol

  29657. I don't understand the hate, if they don't like it why they still watch it or still following on it, are they are better than Fans following?

  29660. Hi. I am a huge fan of yours and I just subscribed. Is it true in Japan that an older car like 5 or 6 years old won't pass an emissions test and would get dismantled and sold for parts. Have you seen any 15 year old Toyota Corollas or Camrys in Japan. In America there's probably 2 or 3 fifteen year old Camry or Corolla on every street block.

  29663. Wow! I am blown away that people react to you and others in this way 🤯 I feel like the best thing we can do for these haters is really pray for them because there’s really something sad and dark in their hearts 🙏🏼❤️ gosh, I felt it immediately when hearing those clips. love you! 👊

  29668. I feel ashamed of myself for not learning Chinese very well. I speak Chinese Mandarin with my parents but never learned properly how to read and write. I'm Taiwanese Canadian and my French and English a lot better than my mother tongue Chinese. That's why my parents call me a banana (yellow on the outside and white on the inside). XD I'm interested in learning Chinese and Japanese.

  29669. I'm a white Chinese speaker in HK, nothing amazing here... for now. Super fun video. 👏🏻

  29670. Omg cow tongue is delicious! I haven't tasted a Japanese cow tongue version but the ones from Greece, France and Iran I had are delicious!
    1
  29671. I think the reason it's so "shocking" to see "white people" speaking anther language... ANY other language than English, is because as a culture, US Americans are not taught languages as a necessity. Most never try, never have to try, and expect the world to just learn and speak English. When going to other countries, it is required for them to LEARN, not just dabble in, English. Most people from other countries know at least 2 languages, when the majority of "white people", US Americans, will never know any other language than English. Most are very stuck in the mentality of ONLY English. I don't find it as hard to swallow when I see my German friends speaking English, and French. They were brought up to respect language learning.

  29672. Everything looks so clean and organized. Is all of Japan like this?

  29676. Seriously, つつむ and くるむ are both spelled 包む. WTF Japanese people? Really? Why? You can do all the extensive reading in the world and still not have a clue what the difference is.

  29678. I saw a video of this place or one very similar to it a few years ago and it has been high on my bucket list ever since.
    1
  29679. Get that 150K! I am rooting for you. BTW, I know your experience has been good in speaking with random strangers in Japanese. Do you know anyone there that's a YT (or not) that's Japanese, but not born in Japan, not fluent, and tries to do the same thing? I'm curious because my little experience with Japan is that there's a little bias there, and am wondering if I am just overly sensitive or just generally incorrect in my views. It's kind of like, "what, you're Japanese and can't speak?"
    1
  29680. Maybe they are afraid that the foreigner is a second generation immigrant, who considers himself/herself Japanese, and they don't want to offend him/her by assuming that he/she can't speak Japanese. I truly am sorry, if I am being ignorant.

  29688. 0:10 Reverse shock. XD Love your videos. Also, why no one compliments you on your Japanese as often as Chinese? Has it become a norm for foreigners to speak Japanese at this point? Haha

  29689. When i close my eyes i can hear japanese person speaking

  29690. Omg, I wish I have you language speaking skills. I’ve always wanted to speak Chinese, Japanese and Korean. But I don’t speak any of those. I can distinguish the differences in those three languages but can’t speak it. I am wowed by your speaking talents! Smart young lady.
    1
  29691. You know, if I just know what it is I'm going to eat, it's much easier for me to try. It's when I have no idea that food becomes hard to try. Good vid. Thanks.

  29695. You're a walking quiz show. They try to guess your origin, while you try to guess theirs plus pick the right language.

  29696. Yankee comes from native American pronunciation of the French word Anglais..something like yongay

  29697. Omg at the end! You’re so adorable together!!

  29698. I can see that you have the natural advantage of accessing more varied sources for research, and probably easier for you to keep a balanced view on things. International relations sure suits you. Love to see more videos:)

  29702. I’m an Irish Catholic and married into a Japanese family (second generation in the USA) and this video reminded me of so many wonderful New Years celebrations I was lucky enough to enjoy.

  29718. Totally agree. And is not just about modern languages. Channels with people who study Latin or Greek dare discuss linguistics as if they were specialists or as if modern languages were just corrupted versions. The probabilities of being contested by a true specialist is even thinner in this case.

  29719. Shes the last Samurai lol

  29720. When it comes to this, I've noticed 3 kinds of people, the first will compliment everything, since it's the culture of sugarcoating and complimenting. The second will think you suck but will encourage you since it's the culture of 頑張って and the third will be outright surprised and honestly think your Japanese is really good (compared to any foreigner since 99% of them are just tourists and don't know a single word).

  29738. this is my goal tbh, i live in new zealand and we have a lot of chinese immigrants (and second/third-gen families) and i'd love to be able to communicate with them! i had a customer who needed help of a translator and friend to book an appointment and literally all i said was xiexie/bukeqi and she was SO HAPPY like she absolutely lit up!

  29742. These people sound so depressed when they make these negative videos about content creators. One dude literally whispering because he knows what he is saying is bs internally lol. People like you are so kind to everyone they speak to, how can they be toxic about it.

  29745. Hi there. As comparison, people in Germany are not at all surprised if people from abroad speak German. In fact, we know that German is a difficult language to master and the simplest German phrases will do the job. People in Germany are living for decades with people from abroad. Connecting that with our history, we can feel blessed that so many people are visiting our small country and even learn our hard language. Thank you world for bringing all these people to us! Arigatou But last week I met some Indonesians here in town who were surprised by me speaking Bahasa Indonesia. :D The world is small.

  29746. Wow you Chinese and Japanese is amazing. Greetings from Germany. :)

  29748. I used to work and live in and around Detroit, and it was the same, co-workers lived in Dearborn or Bloomfield Hills, or Southfield, and they would not even drive through Detroit if they could help it. And I thought that was hilarious, because Detroit is not like that. And if people who've lived their whole lives in the thumb area think that you're taking your life into your own hands if you go to Detroit, what are other people gonna think? I'm from Lansing. And here in Lansing, people would say they're from Detroit, and I would ask them exactly where until they had to admit that they weren't from Detroit, but close-ish to Detroit. I was working at a corner store in Lansing, and this guy comes in and asks where the bad parts of Lansing are, since he just moved here and he wanted to avoid living in the unsafe areas. We asked him where he was from, and he said Detroit, and we laughed and laughed. In Lansing, the worst places look bad, liquor stores, churches, bars, gun stores, crack house, but you go a few blocks in any direction and you'll find yourself in a rich neighborhood. And then go a few blocks any direction and you'll be in a bad neighborhood again. It's all jumbled up. The worst places in Lansing aren't as bad as the best places in Detroit, but I'd go to Detroit before I'd go to Flint or Gary, IN. I had people give me mad props who were from Brooklyn and Queens because I used to work and drive in Detroit.

  29763. If you are respectful and polite, and especially if you try and speak Japanese, Japan will be friendly. If you are loud, drunk and obnoxious, and speaks to everyone in english expecting they should understand you, yeah Tokyo is not a friendly city.

  29764. I was stationed at Misawa AB in Aomori Prefecture from 1991 - 1993. Best assignment ever. I made friends all over while DJing in the clubs there. I'm from Okinawa originally so it was sort of like being home.

  29768. Did you get scholarships to study in Fudan and Japan? I was teaching physics in Shanghai, very good lifestyle and salary. I'd love to try living in Japan but don't know the best route. Even teaching English, which I don't particularly want to do, seems to be quite tough to apply for. If I could learn Japanese at not too much cost for a semester or two, that would be great!

  29773. Hi, Visa problems sound scary when you have so little control over your temporary residency. As you said, the rules are rules. We have one especially bad story. My wife and I lived in Turkey (Incirlik AB) for five years from 1990-1995. We were there a year before Desert Shield/Desert Storm and four years after. It went from Mayberry (Andy Griffith) to loading civilians on board planes and escorting children to alternative (safe) places. My wife was military and I was civilian DOD which meant my wife watched my plane take off while wearing a chemical warfare suit and SCUD missiles sailing overhead. Only military were allowed to remain. After escorting five children to various US families, I spent three months praying she didn't die. A close friend did. I was lucky the government decided they needed me back but I never even got to see her before getting where the action took place. That was the worst part of our five years there. They best part is that our children came along quite quickly after that. Both were born in Turkey. Miracles do happen in the strangest ways. Thank God for that! Of course there was the story when our Turkish maid tried to kidnap our son....

  29797. I have to ask. Is it a cultural thing to deflect compliments? Or simply something you do? I've been watching your videos and I think your humility is great, but I for one thrive on compliments 🤣 I'd like to visit Japan one day and I'm curious if that's something I need to be aware of or not.
    1
  29798. I have watched a ton of your videos over the last year. When I first started watching your videos I was just amazed how effortless it was for you to speak. This video was my favorite one yet. It shows your process. I like that you said it’s not easy and there is no 30 day course that would make you fluent…. Truly inspirational

  29804. damn I been using duolingo hoping I'd achieve some benefits from it and I at least got the hiragana memorized and was gonna start with the katakana soon but yeah, I always figured it'd be a stretch to reach fluency from it. I'll be sure to try Plimseur, but is Duolingo just not valuable at all?

  29808. I think some Japanese people would like to make friends but don’t know how to, however some people are psychopaths so be careful. The old woman was attracted or fascinated by you and had nothing to do. Most people from Detroit aren’t friendly like you, it’s refreshing to see!

  29828. Subscribed! It made me angry and sad to hear about the bullying trolls. Your amazing guitarist friend is simply incredible how she is persevered and accomplished what she wants to do regardless. And asked to play at the special Olympics?! That's incredible! Something for everyone to be proud of. And you, the YouTube Star, are amazing. The courage and the strength to move to a completely different culture and then thrive there is incredible. And being fluent in several languages?! Especially Asian languages?! That requires an exceptional intellect and I admire you very for that. Ignore the trolls. Every negative thing they say is an awful reflection of themselves, not you.

Pleas just do not listen to those that are saying those negative things and keep up your work because there are people out there like my self that really do want to learn other languages and i find what you do to be fun and interesting because yes when it comes to foreigners i wish i knew what they say about me as well because i love other cultures and want to learn more but i am home bound and do not get out any more so i wish i had taken the chance when i could to learn so i could have had a bigger friend base.

  29855. I can speak 3 languages english(I can understand everything you'll say and will be able to answer in the simplest way due lack of actual practice) russian and hebruw(at native lvl.) and i understand 50% of ukranian. I was born in ukraine and we moved to israel when i was 2Y/O . I can for sure say that there is a lot of polyglots that try to speak russian (coz hebruw isn't that popular) they speak the most broken russian ever ,bad pronunciation, bad grammar, bad everything and I don't blame them russian is really hard to get right all the time its takes years some times decades to master. for exp. there is 50 ways to say "run" in russian any you need to know where to fit correctly every single 1 of them. even Steven Kaufman the polyglot I would say that he speaks like 2nd year student of linguistics but he trying to talk about topics that I wouldn't LOL. i just gonna say if you able to keep up with a basic++ conversation you are fine. BTW i love your content . keep up with the great work :)

  29866. 在早稻田啊，我就住在户山公园旁边。你日语也超好。
    1
  29867. to compare with Japanese, the English is actually easier to Chinese. yes, both Chinese and Japanese learn the same or similar explanation on many characters, but this is not the point. the sentence plays the big role on daily communication, not the words. so how to make a sentence is the significant part of learning language. the English is totally different with Chinese on spelling, but I have to say that about the grammar on how to make sentence, the English is more close to Chinese. like saying 'I very like playing computer games', this is Chinese sentence grammar, either. but on Japanese sentence grammar, to translate to English is 'I very computer games playing issue that like is'. let alone the 'like' is a verb both in English and Chinese, but is a adjective in Japanese. when I am speaking out one word, I am recalling the spelling of the word meanwhile. it is very helpful on deepening the memory of language. but on Japanese, same spelling make the Chinese intuitively searching the same or similar pronounce. it is a absolutely wrong way, but it is a reasonable and unavoidable conditional reflex, either. unlikely on English, Chinese will convert to a different but relatively pure spelling and pronouncing model. about the sentence, want to translate the words to English one by one under your custom of sentence structure? yeah, it is intuitive, but it works. so the same or similar spelling and meaning on certain words implies the convenience of Chinese people learning Japanese, which is a big misunderstand. and actually this is did a barrier to learning Japanese.

  29882. That's amazing how you can switch between Chinese and Japanese so fast. I reckon you should apply for Netflix show - 'Terrace House' if you do happened to go back to Japan again. Great personality :)

  29892. 这个要看夸奖完之后还继续和你说中文说多久了，不过一般中文口语达到你这样的语音语调和表达的流畅程度已经是很了不起了，不过还是有些洋腔洋调的痕迹！哈哈，一些字眼还是有美国英文的口音！几乎所有中国学习英文的学生都从来不去说的，也不注重发音，这是一个有没有激情的问题，你是喜欢中文才去学和说，他们不是喜欢英语才去学的，而是逼不得已才学，因为要考试，因为为了学历要求，总之，语言不去大量说的话，学一辈子都没用，很多中国学生的思维是改不了的了，固定了，就算在国外呆很多年也没用，只有真想会说真想学就会抓住一切机会说，练，隔离是要收费差不多1000美金半个月，其实不管能说多少，开口去说才是第一步，夸来夸去，有点虚了，变得不像真正的交流，成了恭维，不实际，其实听着这种国人夸奖外国人中文的对话，有点不舒服，外国人能说好很正常，就是一种语言而已，改革开放几十年了，国人骨子里还是没有变，很保守，学习英文就是一个典型的例子，这个和封建思想的影响有很大关系，这个问题会一直存在，你在中国那么多年应该融入过中国的社会，你应该懂的，我看得出，你是很喜欢中文这门语言，至于中国人你肯定没那么喜欢，哈哈哈，虚，假，坏，不是说所有，在国外的中国人更坏。

  29893. I'm literally just new here and this is the first video I've watched in your channel and you ask why am I here?Well hehe😜,I think it's because I'm a kind person,hehe(I may not be right).I see myself as a respectful person wherever I go,whether in the internet or to any people.When I watch or see something in the internet that I like then I immediately like it(commend or thumbs up) cause offcourse those people that entertained me and expected to atleast have something in return for the people they entertained so I just do as what they wanted cause they deserved it and besides its just using your point finger so what the hell is so hard about that?And I have never bashed nor said any discomforting things to any people except when people totally say or act un-right things(you guys know that).So that's basically the reason why I'm here,I quite pittied you and I wanted to fight for you like who the hell can't understand that when you're new to a country and haven't gotten used to it including the language that it's TOTALLY NORMAL to not know many things about that country including getting mistakes with that country's language😤.And Uhhhhh like I said before I only dislike people who act or say un-right things and that totally includes people who judges people by their looks.I know you(guys)know about the "Don't judge a book by it's cover right" but ask yourself if you really did keep that in mind?That's all,maybe you won't read this comment if keep it too long😅. Btw your supporter here in the Philippines💖💖(lol I don't have emojis of country flags).Cheer up,have a good day😊.

  29906. Thank you 安明姐姐 for sharing the advice. I am an Indonesian person and currently learning Mandarin in a Mandarin Course in Indonesia. I have a question and I want to know about your opinion, It is not good to learn multiple languages at once right? but how if I want to learn Mandarin and just say, Cantonese at once? Both are Chinese languages, but differ in dialect isn't it? Is it okay or I will just have a double miles to have a journey on? XD I wanted to learn Cantonese and Hong Kong culture but there are no Cantonese course available in Indonesia hahaha :D and also there are no Chinese speaking community in my city. What do you think about that? Thanks in advance! :D 謝謝妳！

  29917. Thank you for the video young lady. Always great to see a new one. Life is short at times. When you are young - at 20 you have many years possible a head of you. As you age you think of how short life really is. One second your are 20 / 30 - working, raising a family then suddenly your are 65. Showing my age - when young you looked at birth announcements. Friends are having a family. Late in life you look to see what friends or people you know that have passed on. It is the cycle of life. You take care - enjoy life to the fullest and never forget to tell someone you love them. Tom (Spin)

  29922. When they said you look like you're from Russia or Ukraine, I'm pretty sure they are referring to your ethnic features, not your Nationality/Citizenship. They wouldn't be too far off, especially if you're naturally blonde. I would personally also guess Polish, Baltic, or Scandinavian.

  29924. Most people don’t react when you’re in their country speaking their language , bc everyone in that country speaks that language so it’s not as impressive also it’s respectful to learn someone’s language when you’re in their country . You get really shocked reactions when you speak foreign languages in America bc Americans mostly speak English so if you end up speaking the language of a foreigner in America they wouldn’t expect you to be speaking their language in an English country

  29939. I am proud she learns Japanese, because she CARES about Japan, at the same time,one American learns japanese,which is unbelievable. Despite the fact Japanese is hardly used anywhere outside of Japan. Japan still has an enough prominent future to be viewed as a powerful,at least for some of the AMERICANS.
    1
  29940. You know what I like about one of aspect of your videos? I hope this isn't insulting to you but I like them because they're not overly produced. They're simple. It's just you, a video camera, conversations and some editing. Do you have a wide taste palette? You seem to like a lot of different kinds of food. I my enjoyable taste palette is very narrow. I like a little of this cultural food and a little of that, but not nearly everything. It's kind of a drag when I travel. Sometimes I feel like I'm being rude when I can't eat some of the local food.

  29962. Japanese101 is good. My very personal problem was the ads at every single audio lesson. I payed and yet still audio ads at the start of every single lesson. And I had the misfortune to get a Japanese teacher assigned who felt like a robot. Plus I never cared about the money, so I wasn't even motivated to stick with Japanese101 for the reason that I bought the service. It's just me, I know, but I wouldn't even stay sitting in the movies when I don't like the movie, just because I payed cash for it. Here's my take. It may be a kind of hard way for some. Find some random Japanese native speaker. Ask the random Japanese person if you may send them Japanese audio messages. Ask her or him to only correct the messages when specifically asked. Also ask for permission to do lots and lots of mistakes. The reason is simple. 1. Learning must be fun! 2. I'm in no hurry to learn the language. 3. Children learn by mistakes, never by pain and torture. 4. The brain is a miracle pattern making work of natures art. It will find the patterns of language with time and exposure. 5. Why learn "すみません、駅はどこですか？” when you are simply not in Japan?! Learn to describe your living room instead. 6. For gods sake, ditch the memory palace of vocabulary translation tables. It's an antique technique used by monks in ancient times. They sent one monk into foreign lands. He learned the language, wrote down the vocab in books over books, sent the books home so that other monks could follow. It's the 21 century, use technology like the google translator app. It's quite all right for starters and simple sentences. For beginners, it couldn't be better. And use modern learning techniques. Didactic has gone a loooong way since the time monks went out preach to Africans.

  29963. I find these interviews interesting, I don't think Joshua should worry we are all individuals. But I can understand it must get frustrating if you don't quite fit into one culture or another.

  29964. First time I saw your video was the japanese immigration one. There, I thought your japanese sounds like my chinese friends' japanese. And then, next recommendation video was this. I knew it! You speak chinese and the pronunciation is better than your japanese ^^

Loved the ODR and learning "zamboni." not an easy word...and maybe not a translation? Thanks for the treat.

  29988. Your cultured and your sharing your experiences so that other people feel less threatened when they are going into a foreign place. What your look like has nothing to do with it, but we all know that’s all people care about these days. I think your beautiful and I admire that you took time to learn about another culture because it’s important to educate yourself and educate others. Who were they to comment about how relevant you are when we all need to learn something from you. I haven’t been watching long but this girl is brave and her spirits are always high!

  29999. Hi! Great vid as always. I saw your mountain of flash cards that you were writing. I am learning Japanese and then want to go into Mandarin etc one day. I was told to write Japanese words in a sentence and not to learn them in isolation. I think you speak all three quite well and wondered if you write out just the word and meaning or if you do sentences?

  30005. I agree that we need to be realistic in the language community about how many languages we speak and which are actually “fluent” vs beginner level. However, I believe that there are different types of learners. Ikenna actually has an interesting video on different types of language learners where he categorizes those who like to learn a multitude of languages to a pretty basic level, all the way to those who study a single language for multiple years like on this channel. Regardless, it’s important that we respect each other’s goals and not go after those who want to speak to many people in many different languages. They shouldn’t claim to be fluent though, as it could be misleading.

  30011. I felt this was such a positive video. As a Western-born anglo-saxon person, I feel that we have created the negative behaviour that other cultures exhibit because of our own bigotry and exclusion. It was great to see people open up with warm sentiment when they heard you speak their language because it showed them respect and honour. I totally agree with your message - we need to communicate better!

  30028. I think these were a fun couple of days combining learning and a little action. Emi fists of fury and Anming the giggling death strike purveyor. As always I enjoy your mixing it up in your videos. A livestream a month would be most welcome. One thing about an Anming video is food will be prominently displayed, as a girls got to eat.
    1
  30029.  @OrientalPearl  I'll be honest in that a solely a food video viewing isn't really my thing. But if you showed bowls of Natto, I'd watch because I figured you'd link it to something interesting somehow. Like your Soba Noodle video, the setting made it really interesting. Your Instagram always has photo's of interesting dishes or deserts. If you incorporate into something else like beginning, middle, or end of video cause you often have some food and I'm always interested. Really, I just want you to find a way to show your Fugu footage. I don't know title it "American Girl Risk's Death in Japan while speaking Japanese". Click bait but whatever works.

  30047. Is there an age that is optimal for learning Mandarin? I'm 54 years old so I guess my question is...is there an age where you would tell someone to forget it? I would guess the younger the better to start.

  30061. You did great speaking Korean! 잘하고 있어요! I could understand everything u said (meaning Koreans should be able to even more), even with the pronunciation difference. I'm genuinely surprised considering ur living outside of Korea and most Korean learning apps have bad grammar, pronunciation, or translations. Since I'm low/mid-conversational (and I've been living here over 6 years) I get annoyed when I see so many mistakes on the learning apps. It hinders me from wanting to use them. But 잘했어요! 계속 수고 하세요 ^^

  30073. One thing I like about Japanese people, I rarely see Japanese people in videos not smile. They're always smiling and it really gives you good vibes😂☺️

  30074. i find it funny how white people like to make assumptions of how us Asians should feel and what is right for our culture ahahaha To be frank, Oriental pearl's mandarin is way better than mine. And its good to see her trying to learn our language and culture. There's nothing wrong with that! Or would u guys rather watch white people shoving their English language and culture down our throats?
    1
  30075. In Asia, we don’t criticize it’s just that our language is not a globally speaking language like English or Spanish. And sometimes it’s hard to learn so when someone from the western country is speaking, it surprises us because it’s usually us trying to learn English language in high school.

  30081. I love channels like these and all the others called out because of one reason: language appreciation. I grew up in a bilingual family and lived in Italy as a child for several years and have always loved and appreciated that people love language enough to study it and learn languages or make YouTube videos about it. So, this whole “calling people out” stuff seems like a waste of time. This creators intro to their video as well is such an instant turn off for me personally. Who made them the language police? I suppose if they have extensive training then that’s one thing - but even still - I love this type of content and am Always here for it. Really great commentary from you here, Pearl.

  30093. One thing I feel a need to say is that this kind of study method will not work for everyone. It’s a sure fire way to lead to burn out and stress for the majority of people. It’s best to do what you can each day or week depending on your schedule etc: find a style that works for YOU. I just want to put that out there as a language university student of French and Japanese. Burnout is a killer and you need the balance to keep any sort of motivation intact. Thanks for sharing the experiences in Korea! It looks like you had a great time. This comment means no disrespect. It’s just that I know studying 10 hours a day won’t be for everyone lol

  30098. I watch videos like yours to hear natural and basic conversation in Chinese. Your style which is, shall we say, 'unprofessional' also has an odd charm to it

  30103. I can get used to 4 out of shocks on your list. The only one is your No. 4 shock which is very Asian thing I can not take even I am an Asian. A lot of them don't think that changing an appointment at very last minute is a very not cool thing to do. They will rank the appointments and choose the one that deems more important or more interesting, then cancel the rest of them with some BS excuses.

  30106. Honestly you are right to a certain extent. The older generation is never satisfied and are extremely judgmental. Nothing you can do about it. However, I believe what they are saying is true, just not what you are thinking. If anything they would use their (or yours) situation to boast. Like "OMG I just met a white girl that speaks better Chinese than you!" among other things.

  30128. I think it’s still surprising for westerners to be fluent in Asian languages, but have been living in East Asia for awhile too and it’s not uncommon that people are fluent in 2-3 Asian languages plus English...just took these immigrants in Japan, became fluent in Japanese and English because of the business purposes, that’s very admirable.

  30155. Happy New Year! You make me want to visit Japan. Just like my junior high school teacher in my French class, I've been to France 4 times. You would make a great teacher. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
    1
  30156. Well, you picked the wrong school at Toyko, it is not related to the location. (exclude the quantity of students; but in other hand you can make more friend this way) I did from beginner to advanced in a Tokyo school, and I thought the teacher were too kind to student at the end; allowing them to come to school just for the visa. They were not able to make a correct sentance after alsmot 2 years learning japanese.
    1
  30157. I really loved your vlog and you speaking excellent chinese ! Please do more vlogs in chinese!

  30158. wow congrats, where in the US you originally from? Good luck, dont ever come back its terrible in the States everything is going downhill to be honest. good luck

  30159. Sad that people are jealous. I speak 7 languages and learning German now. It's fun and and in my travellings it helps me to bond a lot with people. To hell with the out cries, keep doing videos.
    1
  30160. In your heart, where is "home"?
    1
  30161. Great advice! But, at 0:22... not sure if that was too forced... seems to me kinda rude, when Anming is kind enough to pose with them.
    1
  30162. Your Japanese sounds so.. ふわふわ笑笑, the way you proncounce different words
    1
  30163. Not surprising that there would be a lot of polyglots from Europe since they have so many countries with different languages in the same relative proximity. I don't think he's the best I've heard at Japanese, but he wins as the least Japanese looking person I've seen that's fluent. I notice that a lot of the "polyglots" on Youtube seem to learn a few sentences on a few common discussion topics and that's about it. They tend to steer conversations to a limited amount of common topics. Food, hobbies, etc. I don't believe many of them can understand much of a conversation on anything else. I don't think that's truly knowing a language. Of course, I could be wrong. :)

  30164. it was so cute to see the kids reactions and the people's reaction the R2, Richard's hard work payed off.

  30169. You are so cool! I wish I could learn more languages too and the only reason why I’m able to speak English like this is because of tiktok😅

  30171. I never knew you got this much hate! Don't let people bring you down, you're a wonderful person with an infectious personality and awesome skills that I'm so happy to see you using. It's thanks to you that I recently memorized all 46 hiragana, with katakana incoming, and even began the push for me to learn Japanese in the first place. You're an amazing YouTuber, and I love watching your content. The haters don't know what they're talking about. Keep up it, Anming! :)

  30180. @ Oriental Pearl, Be strong and keep this video up. I am sure there will be a lot of hate spewed at you for making this video and your honesty.
    1
  30181. While I agree with you there's a lot of youtube content that's absolutely hyperbolic, I think there's a little bit of an elitist attitude here. That is, not all of these people have near-native level fluency as a goal. Some of them only want to be able to wander through shops in NYC and speak to everyone at a basic level in their native language. Sometimes the goal is to be able to connect with someone, but not to make lifelong friendships.
    1
  30182. But were the colorful baos tasty? We didn't find out from the video
    1
  30183. The driving thing is probably because of the expense. I drove from Tokyo to Fuji and back with my family. The tolls for the trip were US$100. Was still cheaper than taking a tour as there were 5 of us.
    1
  30184. We appreciate you guys! But Matt said it...the high level polyglots don't want to show off their skills on social media platforms...but the mid and low levels are hustling to make money...the audience who speaks those dialects will let them know!!

  30185. like how you can change the lights and the stairs. Such a nice couple.

  30194. I've gotten addicted to your video's lately. Started learning Japanese as well, even though I'l probably never need it.
    1
  30195. I've always wanted to go to Japan since I was little and a language exchange would be the best way to go there for me at this age. I just hope the borders open soon. And who knows, maybe I'll meet someone cool
    1
  30196. Oh wow, so good of you to take Robin for a steak. Love your content, thank you for highlighting the plight of these people.
    1
  30197. Anming, can you tell me if I should listen to serpentza? I feel like what he said gives off a distorted view of China. Like for example, Chinese have a child’s mentality.
    1
  30198.  @OrientalPearl  Yes, and Thank You for being open minded. Many people are waking up and smelling the river, as they say... Next will be the Vaccine Hype and that is where the reactions, both for and against, will be evident and pronounced. Keep your mind open and think critically using objective reasoning and analytical thought. Gambatte-ne!
    1
  30199. So Cool your video with Her but i m sure is not easy to be Hafu there + Katie is Tugh Girl then i m not sure Japanese society is ready for this , i mean not yet ... soon .

  30200. I’m so impressed by your chinese ! I also studied Chinese in Taiwan and lived there
    1
  30201. Always admired people that can speak and read multiple languages. Wish I had the will to learn when I was younger. Tried french and portuguese with no success, procrastinated too much. Just picked up Japanese recently since I would like to visit there within a year or so.
    1
  30202. I live in Thailand during winter and NYC in summers. I think you would enjoy Thailand. How are you supporting yourself while you live abroad

  30205. Love this video. It's clear that you have a passion for culture and languages and the channel is just one of the ways of expressing that. Keep having fun.
    1
  30206. An Ming, if you ever decide to take part in a Anime event or attend a cos play convention you would make a super Sailor Moon, just saying...
    1
  30207. Can you explain your objection? You’ve worked hard to have this level of cultural and linguistic fluency. Why not accept the compliments? I’m sure this is totally unexpected of Americans abroad. It may be no big deal stays for you but it’s clearly not for Chinese-speaking natives. I get the wish to fit in but if you’re an American living in not one but TWO Asian cultures, seems like par for the course.

  30208. If you speak English to them first then randomly change into mandarin, shock will intensify

  30227. Regarding Counter culture shock: I worked and lived in Saudi Arabia for 6 years. It was very tough when I came back to America. Resturants were the worst. I had dificults in selecting what to eat. There was a large gap in conveesations related to shared movies, TV programs, and current history. It took about a year to resink with my peers. Aa a result of working in Saudia Arabia, I learned to appreciate the experances and opening of cultural doors that learning other languages does. I am not fluent, but I can speak, Arabic, Eurdo, French, German, Hendi, Mandarin, Jananese, Spanish, and Thai. I know bits and pieces of many other languages from around the world. Right now I'm learning whow to read and write Japanese. At 71, Konji is a strougle. I make very tasty Chinese and Japanese pickles. You Tube has become my very good friend. I like your videos. They are very helpful. Keep up the good work.
    1
  30228. Thank you for all the inspiring and helpful information! I had been trying to re-learn Japanese (after learning in high school and living in Okinawa for 3 years), and am more motivated to keep going now! It is amazing how you learned the language and became fluent so quickly. It looks like fun to just start conversations with people on the street. Great work! It takes a lot of practice and courage to do that. I look forward to watching your other experiences in Japan.
    1
  30229. For one thing you are so pretty,and you dont look oild enough to even know about seinfeld haha i really like your channel and love to hear you talk
    1
  30230. So in your opinion what is the best way to learn Japanese? You say the best way is to speak to other Japanese people or other people who are fluent in Japanese, but I’m like an extreme beginner, like I can’t make conversation. And I live in America and don’t know any Japanese people. So, any other suggestions?????
    1
  30231. Please make more, I basically keep watching your vids for inspiration and they really help me to re-educate myself with my mandarin. I learnt mandarin many moons ago and now am trying to relearn it again along with my children😌 more videos pleas🥳🙏❤️
    1
  30232. Bring him here to Texas next time! Lots more culture and experiences here I think he would be loved And culture shock factor would probably be cranked up a lot lol

  30233. Catching up on some of your earlier videos. 😀 Ha ha, I'm from Indiana, which is almost Michigan, so we share a similar "accent." 😄
    1
  30234. Thank you for representing the USA so graciously.
    1
  30235. Out of all Anming's videos, this is the one that makes me the most jealous. That woman in the dark purple/white pattern dress @1:14 who made a beeline for you without hesitation, when she heard you speak Mandarin. You couldn't wipe the smile off their faces. That was EXACTLY my experience here in the U.S. - being suddenly approached by a bold, young Chinese beauty in her 20's. I still can't believe it happened.
    1
  30236. I'd like to know how it was for Katie being black while in Japan?? I've heard their can prejudice..is it like the US?

  30237. Happy for you both! Congratulations!!!

  30238. i used to use japanese pod 101, maybe the way i was using it was not the most effective way ? please do a video on what you believe to be is the best way to utilise it ?

  30239. amazing video. love seeing ppl reaction when you switch languages.

  30240. Hi guys! I just want to say thank you so much for posting this video. I have been really annoyed by those fake polygots and it's been tremendously tiring to constantly watch them. I'm not saying that i'm not appreciating those who really can speak many languages, i'm just stating that this video is extremely encouraging to those who are learning foreign languages. Ps. I've also enjoyed listening to your Japanese and those amazing opinions. Wish you all the best and take care!😀👍

I have fond memories of Euno Park and the zoo, it a place I would love to have stayed. But tell us, is there no concept left of couples like you buying the "forever home" not just apartment hopping?

I would never admonish you for not uploading on a frequent basis, because when you do upload it's high quality stuff and that's all I can really ask for. keep up the good work! I too am learnt trying to learn a language as well as work among other things I understand it's difficult to do other things outside of that, but keep up the great work!

  30268. I suffered sore throat for two days cus I slept without a blanket a week ago, it made me stay for three days in my home as people would do harm to me for covid-19 thing. In my point of view the Nagoya castle is so beautiful for its stone wall, moats and the Japanese garden attached to the castle.
    1
  30269. these people consider their hateful/jealous remarks as "contents" for their channel and then expect their channel to grow like yours xD at least ur contents requires effort. Just keep doing what ure doing pleasee. u keep me motivated to learn Japanese
    1
  30270. Unless I'm hiring a translator/interpreter, I'm a lot more impressed by a 20 language B1 than a 3 language C2--for me the ear is the hard part: once you can hear the words of a language it only takes a few months of immersion to go deep. Unfortunately for me, I'm all text and no ear when it comes to languages, including English, despite decades of study and years living abroad...my kids are legit polyglots, they have their mother's genes and my coaching.

  30276. No way I have her talent. But I can survive in French, German, and Spanish. And what you lack like she told the lady hand gestures can go a long way. In Germany we wanted a bread knife and I didn't know the word so I made a cutting gesture and said "for bread, for bread" in German and they understood. Messer is knife in German.

  30286. Damn bro at the start she just walked up next to a group of students and a grown man and became the Alpha in the conversation. You could almost feel them all sit in their chairs and follow her lead, lol. She guided them through the pictures and conversation. That was cool to see, Pearl would make a great mother.

  30290. I live in the Philippines as an expat. I'm learning Bisaya and I speak Japanese. It really upsets the other American expats cuz generally, most are incapable of learning another language. They fall back on the old argument, English is universal so y'all best be learnin' dat.

    1
  30298. She's just being friendly and making conversation. I don't see her doing that at all. She typically talk a lot bc 1, she's making videos, and 2 Japanese ppl can be cultural shy in public, especially with strangers. She's just making ice breakers for conversations. No one had been offended by her. Quite the opposite
    1
  30299. I was raised in Japan my childhood life. I speak both too.

  30300.  @OrientalPearl  haha It's nice in the fall. I saw you said you were having trouble doing subtitles somewhere else. I wanted to recommend this process: -Finish editing your video -Build a subtitle file in the .srt or some other standardized format. Basically just type a time and subtitles as you go through watching your edited video. -Hard embed the subtitles into the video using something like virtualdub. Maybe it'll be easier than your current method

  30301. THIS is what we want to see 👍. Forget the 'shock, language fluency' headings and focus on Japanese life - language is just an integral part of that. You have everything else worked out 100% 👌😎.

  30302. Wow now I want to learn to speak other languages like you. But I don't know where to begin

  30312. Another awesome video ! I know it seems like there are more Russians speaking Chinese than Americans and that is probably why they think you are Russian .To me you don’t look Russian 🤷🏼‍♂️

  30314. I started to study Japanese and French this year, those are languages that are really far away from each other, so that's why I'm studying them at the same time. But even with that distance between the languages, avoiding me to get confused, I feel like I can't focus so much in those at once. I don't even know how someone's possible to study more than 3 at time and really focus on them all...

  30318. I have watched your other video about polyglotism, I couldn't agree more on the point you said that learning a language takes a lot of years of dedication and endeavor. I have been living in Canada for 19 years, I still make a lot of mistakes in English. I can speak 10 languages, I would not say I am fluent in all these languages, because every language is so difficult to reach a native level, even some native speakers are not being able to speak their mother tongue very well. I am still improving my English, I want to be a simultaneous interpreter in English to Chinese or English to French, but I still have a lot to improve. I really love your videos, you are a wonderful woman with talents. You are very humble that you said you have no talents at all learning a language, but I believe you have such a talent.

  30319. ive watched bits of your videos here and there but i never realized you're from detroit(?) ! do you have any videos where you talk about it?

    1
  30371. @Oriental Pearl I totally agree with you. I think a foreigner will speak and sound like a native speaker with practice and effort. Maybe someday I will be able to speak English and sound American just like you! LOL!
    1
  30372. I find the private tutor is probably the best approach for me. I tried Duolingo to try and study Mandarin once but I found that using an app didn't work too well for me. I need the face-to-face interaction: I need to know what I am doing right, what I am doing wrong and I can't really get that without the face-to-face interaction. Of course everyone is different and have their own way of learning. Since I am retired now, I am going to hire a tutor and learn Korean in the near future. Do you have any desire to learn Korean? What about Klingon? HA HA HA!

  30379. Hey Alyssa! You speak english, you can get around on most places. You speak Mandarin, you can communicate with 1 Billion people. How about you also consider learning Español? :) you will be able to communicate with an entire continent and some change.

  30380. Fair enough if you're Logan Paul, but she's harmless. But if wearing a certain outfit matters to certain people due to ceremonial purpose or whatever, then I would understand to a certain extent. E.g. its like someone wearing an army outfit and badges that's not really in the army, where many have died wearing them outfits and badges. Even then, I wouldn't say anything. Let me be. Also: you made me believe that old guy was bad in the thumbnail. Lol.

  30392. Anming, Congratulations!! You look stunningly beautiful.
    1
  30393. Anming, as someone who just recently started learning Japanese and struggling very bad, its really great hearing from someone of your caliber of japanese that you also struggled at the beginning. You are completely right about needing 6 months to have basic conversation skills IF you study hard, I didn't really study hard in the past few months im studying because im super busy with work and sometimes work almost all days, but I do try to do it dilligently every day even if its a little bit. And even tho I learned many things now and can say some basic things, having even a basic conversation with a Japanese speaker would still be extremely difficult, and I also don't understand alot when I listen to people speak (for example your video) but at least im starting to understand some parts of the sentences, whilst 1 or 2 months ago I couldn't understand almost anything.

  30394. I wonder what was he doing at 4:07

  30396. One thing about Asian people is some of them are very interested in blond haired people and even more so tall blond haired people. Had a friend who lived and traveled throughout Asia for 15 years. His son was very blond and many times families wanted a picture with the blond foreigner, because they rarely saw one. His son grew to be 6' 2" and the taller he got the more people either asked to get a picture, or tried to manoeuvre their friends or family so it appeared that it was just chance that he would also be in the photo. Since you are also tall and blond you definitely aren't the norm. So your physical appearance coupled with your fluency in in Mandarin and Japanese makes you a unicorn in their day to day experience. As usual a great video.

  30400. What a misleading title!Japan is by far the friendliest, most polite country I've ever been to, hands down. Tokyo too: on several occasions we didn't even need to ask for help, they just saw the confused look on our faces and they jumped to help us find the right way, or buy the right ticket at stations, etc. even if they spoke only three words in English or none at all(and we don't speak Japanese at all!) I was absolutely impressed.

  30409. See, I speak/know 7 languages (and learning two currently), and my videos are in English. My kids also know many languages. This just isn't what my YouTube is about. I love watching your videos since I miss Japan. We plan on doing a world vacation in about 8 to 10 years, and my languages will be useful then. Yet, also, I love watching these polyglot channels. It helps me learn new words. Helps me realize I can keep learning new languages. That my languages aren't useless. I love making new friends with my languages, too. Working in my small USA German town, though, I have found that people need my languages sometimes. It is useful.

  30431. I think the people who are faking being polyglot on yt are just seeking instant validation with putting in minimum work. For me, if you can talk your way around words or describe the object, then you are fluent. I speak Spanish and I could not remember for the life of me how to say umbrella. So instead I said "you use it when it rains" or "it can also shade you when its sunny" and then they told me how to say umbrella. That is to me is when you can be considered fluent. I am learning Japanese but I seriously cant even begin to think of how to talk my way around words on the fly. So therefore, I would not be considered fluent. Thank you for talking about it! It bugs me when people are being deceitful. Not to mention, Japanese is one of the harder languages to learn especially if you are going from English so to say you learned it and are fluent in just a few months is borderline impossible unless you have the memory of an elephant. I can somewhat grasp the sentence structure since it is sometimes similar in Spanish.

  30432. Great video as always.

  30433. It is interesting that during the Tv show how naturally you acted and how nervous even a little bit rude that male host was , although he was a famous actor. Make me think about cultural differences.

  30435. It’s so funny to me that people say you have a Northeastern Chinese accent. They notice it right away. Too funny. Enjoyable as always!

  30436. Actually it's not hard to make friends in Japan there are a lot of people in Japan so if you go out everyday you will be able to have a conversation with someone eventually, here is the tricky part you need to know Japanese it will make things more fluid, without some Japanese it is a very hard country to get by, I find Thailand easier to make friends without knowing any Thai compared to a place like Japan.

  30439. I enjoyed your video. You live a charmed life. Our son has his degree in Japanese, speaks fluently and went to the Language Institute in Kyoto for a year. He is moving to his English teaching position in March 2025, most likely somewhere in Kansai. We've been three times and hope he has room wherever he lives so we can visit again. He is half and half, just maybe not the halves you'd expect. 😄

I'm so glad that YOU are humble and have the most beautiful spirit and soul. Thanks for bringing us awareness about these hackers out there. Furthermore, I love how honorable you are that you will not promote things you don't use yourself. Aloha and mahalo.

  30454. Hi Pearl! I found your channel, I guess a few weeks ago. You're an inspiration! Maybe it's just me, but I feel more easy approaching people after watching a few of your videos. You have something very special here; don't let the haters bring you down. You have a gift, and people are envious of that. Keep on truckin' along! God Bless.

  30455. You know, it's funny. I got an email from this Chris Christiansen. I have purchased a number of Chinese language materials online and have subscribed to various YouTube language channels. Who knows? But I am a former IT professional so I didn't see anything inviting in that email either.

  30462. Hey @Oriental Pearl, so a few days ago I just started studying some Japanese writing and speaking. I was just curious on how you learned Japanese and how you got so good. Do you have any advice?

  30463. I like your attitude, pretty cool

  30464. Good one. I try so hard to tell Chinese people I lived in Tokyo for 5 years so my 日语 is good, but my Chinese is 不好。So hard to speak 中文。

  30465. I will love to see the cute girl in another video with you💛 and thank you for the tips, since I started to watch your videos I become more and more openly to talk with strangers and practice my English. (Cause my native language is Spanish).

  30486. So jealous, yes it's such a struggle to get around Japan without knowing Japanese. You just have to do a lot more navigation homework. Also, it's a pain when stuff I researched to go in advance end up being closed when I drag my group there. :( It's like waste of time and money to get there and realize they're closed. The only thing I really remember how to say is where is the toilet.and very very basic words..and phrase. and then when they give instructions or respond im like.. .. not getting half of it LMAO...

  30490. It always amazes me when people have videos like "How I got fluent in German in 6 months" or "How I mastered German in a few months". As a German Native, I don't think so. The German grammar is horrible and there are so many rules that then have extra rules but also irregular rules. There is no way to master German in such a short amount if time for most people.
    1
  30491. My husband is Japanese. Be it both online and off, I don’t understand why people have to be so negative - general comments or online randomness. I just watched your other video with your in-laws and it was heart warming that you spoke to him and he watched your videos. Focus on the people who are for you rather than against 💕

  30492. Don’t forget to clean your hands after you touch stuff like vending machines!

  30493. You are amazing, being fluent in many languages says many good things about yourself

  30494. I guess as long as you dont cause a stampede, and disrupt too much business, guess they're like, "This is fun, GO FOR IT!" Loved the fact they had guards up on the tables, and the card players section was awesome. XD

  30495. This is not my favorite channel but sometimes your uploads are very interesting..A reminder why i subscribed months ago i think! This is video is very interesting, THX for this upload...

  30497. Not being critical at all... ( I mean, you know like 100,000 more words than I do, lol )... I caught a mistake in the subtitles. 2:32 nag should be knack. 👍

  30498. I would like to add something to your list. Which is that learning a languages is 90% delayed gratification.. A lot of people want fast result and this is why a lot give up. It is important to understand that language skill takes time. Most of the it can take up to 3 months for your brain to use to a new concept within a new language. This in relation to moving new concept to a conscious from processing to a subconscious from of processing. No skill that one can use easy is mastered in a short time.

  30503. Nice video and the dance is the best
    1
  30504. I wrote you some comments last year. You don't pop up on my recommended list ever. Is that a sign of your quality of videos -- not at all. Someone like you when I accidentally get a recommended video 1 out of 365 days means, that is a YT fault - not on what your videos are all about. But more than that, this is not a YT popularity contest. You change peoples lives when they think the blonde russian from America -- saw it all before -- (BTW, I know you are not russian, lol) is a breath of fresh air when you can talk to them in their own language, so YT aside, you are changing lives, and your language makes people happy. If it doesn't translate into money, what it does translate into is happiness from strangers. Keep doing you, whether or not it impacts anything monetary. You're making so many people surprised and happy and thank you for sharing as much as you can with the rest of us who aren't polygots.

  30514. The US is moving closer and closer to banning TikTok in the country. What is your husband's opinion on that? Personally I believe it's the right move and it's an untrustworthy app with serious privacy concerns. I'm curious as to what your husband thinks as he works there. All in all, I appreciate your videos Anmin. I'm quite envious of the experiences you are having.

  30515. LOVE JAPAN SOOO MUCH! I will go there one day... so beautiful and I like how they always have so much unique styles. Sometimes I wish I was a girl JUST to try a lot of those cool styles LOL! They just do it so good over there seriously...

    1
  30529. Another good video Oriental Pearl and you are so right Chinese people love to eat at KFC more than Americans. Also Asians love to eat at "Popeyes". One last thing you are correct all people in Asia don't use chop sticks correctly.

  30532. This video seems like the hate got to you. I can understand how some people may be offended because minorities tend to speak multiple languages but that is expected of them, on the other hand, when a white person (especially abroad) speak a second language even if subpar, they get put on a pedestal. However, its unfair to target you as this is a societal problem and not your problem as you have not done any harm.

  30540. It is not too surprising that a native Finnish speaker is the best Japanese speaker to be found because both languages are These two languages make extensive use of independent suffixes (agglutinationWords contain stems to which one or more suffix is added.  Taberaremasu is an example.

You really have very informative and positive content and make it so fun to watch at the same time (I know it's a lot of work too). I especially like your smooth speaking voice. You say it as it is without being too cliche. What an amazing accomplishment Anming!!

  30561. Hey, love your videos ;-) I lived (and worked) in Japan for almost 4 years. Watching all your videos (in Japan) bring back so many great memories... I love Japan ! My Japanese is unfortunately not as good as yours. I was an english and french teacher in Kofu (Yamanashi-ken) for two years and worked for a french publishing company the other two years, but did not have a lot of spare time to improve my Japanese. I just took the time to study for the language yon-kyu (which i passed) but now, living in France, i have a hard time keeping my Japanese at the same level... :-/ Anyway, keep up with the nice videos ! ;-)

  30610. It is definitely true that the so called polyglots are 'fluent' on their own terms, namely they infantilise their level of communication, avoiding complex adult, often newspaper subjects - a target language newspaper is the first genuinely hurdle if you want to sound educated and intelligent

  30611. Hi, just wanted to say 2-step SMS verification are NOT safe either but better than nothing. I say this because hackers can do SMS REDIRECTION. (look it up), your 2-step code goes to them. I use Google Backup codes and Authenticator offline app for codes because my whatsapp got hacked onetime, they got my whatsap SMS code while my phone was right next to me, and it logged me out. luckily whatsapp also had a 6 digit 2step code. i think u should Try to privately handle hate, dislikes, low views and negatives on videos u worked hard on.

  30638. Kia ora (Hello/Wishing you well) Anming, my name is Patti. I'm using my hubby Adam's Youtube account. People say that white people speaking other languages is considered having a colonial attitude. As a Maori woman (indigenous culture of my country New Zealand), I know that the British who colonised countries aimed to eradicate the native language to 'civilise' the savages (the British actually called my ancestors 'noble savages'). It is good when a foreigner learns the native language especially if you live there. As for being a narcissist, doing Youtube videos is not my thing, but that would make every Youtuber a narcissist as you're filming yourself and what you do. Keep doing what you do as a person who speaks only 3 languages well and a few others at a basic level, your videos encourage me towards my goal of knowing 7 languages well before I die. Nga mihi nui (Big thanks)

  30653. I really love your videos (Its why I'm a long time subscriber) .. This was interesting to watch.. The one thing I have noticed with you though, Oriental Pearl .. Is that you tend to let the haters get to you.. Don't.. They are just jealous that you are awesome.. Keep up the fantastic content.. and have a wonderful year! :)

  30656. Which dialect is better to learn in your opinion? Mandarin or Cantonese

  30657. At 7:12 when Anming mentioned her boyfriend's Japanese, the Chinese lady was like: why did I waste 5 minutes of my life with you. Lol. She sure was disappointed.

  30658. Excuse me, you are my inspiration to learn Japanese, could you tell me how you studied kanji? as a foreigner or as a Japanese? Thank you!

  30663. Watching you switch between languages is amazing. I can understand why people are blown away, it´s not often you encounter someone who speaks more than two languages so well. (btw the mask looked very cute ;D ). I also found it interesting to see how open the people are and how interested they are to speak with you. Because you often hear that japanese people are shy but they were clearly interested in getting to know you as soon as they saw that you understood them. I think language IS a big barrier but if you master it people will be so much more open to interact with you. It was so nice to see these people praise you. I think you motivated them to maybe study more/ learn another language too :D Good thing your roomates told you about that place! :D seems like you found a lot of things you missed from china? Greetings from Germany!

  30671. Dude, u do a good job hosting. Really enjoy ur personality and character. Good narrative voice too. Hope there will be more shows like this.
    1
  30672. Referring to one of your previous videos that showed clips of people hating on you and your channel, I don't understand why. It's videos like these that I really enjoy and it's goofy that anybody wouldn't enjoy these videos. I think it would be cool to see a full length video on your snowboarding adventure. Keep on being awesome.

  30673. I find these polyglots videos very inspiring and hopeful because that means that everyone can learn any language and besides that polyglots have interesting ways of studying that are very helpful! :)

  30674. Someone upload this video to the chinese video webside, so i watch it and follow the link to subscribe the youtube channel. After watching all of the video, i think you are very charming and have special opinion about the normal thing.

  30675. Some of those hater comments that you played... Just wow! Imagine how miserable their lives must be. 😂

  30676. Once you know how to ride a bike, it is all nice and dandy, you might even go without holding on to the handlebars. But when you start to learn to ride the bike, it is a bit scary. Same thing with languages.

  30677. I haven't spoken Chinese in almost six years so I'm trying to get some listening comprehension, and this channel is absolutely*perfect* for it! Thank you! Your subtitles are waaay more accurate than most and it's very helpful. Also just interesting content in general, I wish I had found it sooner 🙂 looking forward to new videos!

  30681. There is no end to video material in Japan. A new volcanic eruption in southern Honshu has formed an island and continues to expand. In Japan, you don't have to remember all the kanji, it's enough to know everyday kanji. But everyone knows about "large format", he is a little skeptical.

    1
  30695. hahaha..i must disagree with.the idea that a particular skill is harder than other, for me and many others i know speaking was the hardest whilst the writting and reading was the easiest. Also if you look at the wider case of school studies most people in.some countries can read english well, they can even speak using a considerable amount of language but they are lost when it comes to listening to non chinese speaking their target language.

  30720. Years ago i was apprehensive as a Canadian meeting my French in laws in their home for the first time. Lucky for me i too already spoke their language. My mums parting words as she dropped me off at the airport for the visit were "hey do you think you are staying in the same room, they are catholic". I spent half the journey thinking about it! Arrived and they were nothing but so kind and my bags were whisked away to the childhood bedroom, no issues. It sucks living so far away from them especially in these times of limited and challenging travel. It is honestly not that challenging to be open to other cultures. The fun part is sharing our own and learning about the funny quircks of new cultures!
    1
  30721. Language is learned to be able to communicate and be understood...you can learn it to any varying degree you want as long as you can communicate your basic needs and understand I have a simple conversation with someone, you can speak that language.. language learning should not be a status quo... It should be fun!

  30727. You know, I keep seeing people saying they "studied for 6 hours a day" and I'm having trouble imaging it. You mean 6 hours straight? Or with breaks? What do you do during that period? Flash cards? I can't imagine retaining the information if you're just going through a book chapter-by-chapter for 6 hours. Lesson after lesson of Pimmsleur? Doesn't it take like 6 hours for information to process in the brain? HOW do you study a language?

  30749. I like this video.

  30750. Just came across your video and will watch others later as well. You are absolutely right with learning other languages. Its the key, the door opener to the people and their culture and helps you to understand their view to the world, the way they are living. Its widen your own view as well.

  30760. I wonder if you could make a video regarding language acquisition, tips and experience that sort of things. I'm sure you know this as an ESL teacher, it takes average of 7 years to reaching near native level as an adult learner. I wonder if there are some differences in Eastern vs Western languages. Consider Chinese and Japanese are typically the most difficult languages to learn. Finally, do you dream in Chinese or Japanese sometimes?

  30767. Reminds me of the time I first saw a 10-foot round basin for washing hands (in a military bathroom--I was a civilian). I thought, wow, do they just walk up and pee in this thing? Really? I mean, no individuality at all? No privacy? Thank heavens I found out it was a wash basin before 'using' it!

  30778. Basically a fun video about pronunciation in non native language. It showed the difference in tone and the fact that you can get right one time and minutes later be unable to replicate. It also shows that some people can pick up words or phrases easier than others. I find that personally that I always think the other learners get pronunciation correct better and sooner than I think I do. However, they feel the exact opposite. Our tutor usually advises that we are both pronouncing word wrong, close, but still wrong.

  30779. WOW he sounds perfect! I look forward to more videos with you both. :)

Male creators can be like "WHITE GUY SHOCKS LOCALS WITH PERFECT JAPANESE!!" and the comments are all positive and all this girl does is "japanese people react to foreigner speaking japanese, I'm not bragging, it's not perfect" and the comments are so hateful. She wasn't "showing off" she was doing a video that people requested.

  30794. Think like this, a random guy plays the only piece he learned using public piano and gets thousands of views. You're watching the video and the next day you make a video saying that he knows only that piece. (And it's because you've learned thousands of pieces and doesn't get that much views, admit it). It's about the 'REACTIONS' cuzz, not the skills. That's how youtube works. They just know how to use it.

  30808. This is very eye opening!
    1
  30809. Japan is still very closed to the outside world to accept foreigners speak their language and understand their culture. And Americans would never correct you unless you ask them to do so. Also some of them speak really non intelligent English, so they quickly realize your language is way more sophisticated than theirs. And yes, I hate being told that my English is good 😕 which means something is wrong. But they may say it after they’ve found out I wasn’t born in the country. 🙂

  30816. Not caring can be a good defence mechanism. But at the same time there's some collateral. I got to that point by pre-empting the jokes and constantly putting myself down. I think in Japan after maybe a month I could adjust to the honesty around my weight, but the poking and prodding would take a while longer. I'm not used to nor do I really enjoy being touched. Really should just lose some weight lol

  30832. You know, people from cold countries swim in colder waters and weathers, too. Ok, december and 7 degrees is extreme. :) I would swim in the Baltic sea starting from 15 degrees. In summer it rarely exceeds 20. Do Americans swim in northern states or do they only do that in Florida? ;)

  30840. Hey I doubt you'll see this but I'm 17 and thinking about studying both Japanese and Chinese in university... I was wondering how you got to where you are and how you made money when you were studying in China (before youtube) and maybe any tips you have (:

  30846. I'm really hoping to get my ass in gear and start learning some languages. I'm from Canada and they do teach us French in school but they don't do it well at all, I don't know anyone who was even remotely fluent from public school French. There are special French immersion schools that focuses on French and English through the entire schooling (I believe) but my parents didn't have the foresight for that and I'm not sure how well it produces fluent speakers tbh. Unless you're from Quebec, you probably can't speak French over here. So I'm thinking of starting with that as it may be slightly easier to pick up since I have some knowledge of the language and besides that I think I'd like to learn Mandarin and Korean. My cousin has lived in China for 20 years or so now and has raised a daughter and everything, they've offered for me to visit since I was a kid but I just haven't gotten around to it because of my anxiety around planes but I'm eager to go (definitely on hold now with Covid). I also consume a fair amount of Korean media so I'd like to pick it up a little. I wish I could speak every language but for now I'll stick with those 3 lmao.

  30851. Great video, thanks for the late night work. I am sure it was crowded. But at least it wasn't as insanely packed like in 2019. videos.

  30852. Thank you for bringing up a topic that others do not cover. Body odor, forget it. You been eating Japanese food for years, and exchanging Japanese germs too, so no I don't think so. This is only if you just arrived, maybe. You are right to think that a source could be the homogeneous nature of Japanese society. While you can't read another person's mind you can experience another person's actions toward you. It could be based on you and the most obvious feature that you have, your non-Japanese-ness. But who knows? You can't ask a whole train load of people why they don't sit next to foreigners, can you? In 1980 I was going to live with my girlfriend, soon to be wife (or so I thought), in Ube (Yamaguchi prefecture) a city of about 300,000 people. I did notice the avoidance of the natives, but I always thought that was because of their lack of exposure to other people and so they were fearful of outsiders. My girlfriend told me that she saw her first black person when she was 21. I certainly didn't belong to any close inner group of her people, and I figured that would change with time. People would be aloof, and I was ok with that. They would warm up. They never did. As to the trains, I was able to figure that out by myself except for buying the tickets in Toyko. I had a station agent help me. No one sat next to me the whole way down. I was too preoccupied with seeing my girlfriend to notice this as you have done. Also on my return, no one sat next to me. I didn't think about it at the time. It is hard to think about what happened and ascribe it a likely cause when we have only partial information. Keep up the good work.

  30857. That is so awesome speaking the Chinese language to Chinese immigrants in Japan. Your Chinese and Japanese language skills are needed by the U.S. State Department -- who knows, you can one day be an American foreign service officer or diplomat at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in China or Japan.

  30864. I don't have the experience of bad language advice, but your comment about deceiving viewers with "bad advice." In general, so many of these videos and blogs are about "what not to do in japan" and most of the things on the list were nonsense. "You must cover up your tattoos in public/restaurants/et al" Rubbish! Foreigners with tattoos were completely ignored, no one batted an eyelid. Tats are associated with Yakuza, how many white foreigners on holiday with tattoos are part of Yakuza? I got into everywhere I wanted with a tattoo on my arm. In Robot Restaurant, the guy on the other side of the stage area had tatts up to his neck and down his arms, he got in no problem. There are loads of others things, that I can't remember, and none of it was a problem, I felt lied to and that people had overhyped how sensitive Japanese people are, when on the surface of it, they seemed to be the opposite.

  30885. So how did the meeting go?? Did you get the job? And I really want to learn mandarin so much!!

  30886. I just watch this video because I like both of you guys. I understand you wish to have a conversation about this, my take on it would be "fu*'em. If they don't like the videos they don't have to watch them". Were you were doing something that might be thought of as unethical, rude, dangerous, then I see other people weighing in on it, but if you wish to go and talk to people in they native language, or piglating, it's nobody's business. Thanks for all the videos.
    1
  30887. I can understand this. Personally speaking, I think Chinese culture and Japanese culture have kind of self-suppressing elements, which means sometimes you need to act very humble to avoid being considered as an over-confident or arrogant guy. I'm saying it's bad or good, but it do sometimes make ppl from other culture background feel a bit confused and floundering about how to react properly. For exemple, as a Chinese, when I heard Japanese friend complimenting my Japanese, I tend to say something like いえいえ、まだまだです, no I'm not. Still need a lot study. etc. However, also I totally understand it's kinda very natural reaction for westerners to say oh thank you, it's so nice of you at the same situation. As a human, who don't like getting compliment? Especially, when I paid plenty efforts here in studying this language and finally got chance to prove that it paid off, I'm just happy. But for sure, I don't want to be that arrogant to say: yeah, you right, it's me. I'm the god damn genius! So, just thant you! ...
    1
  30888. I just realized I don't read the comments on any of these videos. I just like seeing Chinese people go from shy to outgoing in a matter of seconds.
    1
  30889. Good video! I think the people following you are just plain curious by your openness because I don't think it's something they are used to. They want to learn too but are very shy going about it. Maybe they are also thinking what a brave woman running around without a mask?

  30939. 16:08 THIS IS SO TRUE. People often ask me to order stuff in Chinese, or speak Chinese to people just to get their reaction, but they're often disappointed because Chinese people rarely have huge, over the top reactions to me anymore. I still get those once in a while (especially if it's someone who has known me in English for a while and then finds out I can speak Chinese later, or someone who speaks to me over the phone and only discovers I'm not Chinese afterwards) but in general I don't. I'm glad about it though haha it means 1. I can actually talk to people in Chinese rather that just being reacted to and then them switching back to English, and 2. Non-Chinese speakers don't ask me to pull out my Chinese like a party trick as often as they used to because it's less fun for them hahaha 18:20 So glad I'm not the only person who really wasn't a fan of Chinese people losing their minds after a 你好. Also I think this is probably something that contributes to people who aren't really that advanced in Chinese (maybe Japanese too, I don't really have as much experience with that) thinking that they're really good. Like, if native speakers are constantly telling you you're really good, you can't really be blamed for believing it. Especially if you're used to study European languages where the natives, whilst friendly and encouraging, don't act like you're a genius for learning basic phrases.

  30953. I speak 4 languages fluently. Arabic. English. French and spanish. But I have to say spanish was the easiest for me to learn (8 months) watching spanish movies, songs, and talking to a spanish friend. I won't be moving to another language untill I know I master these 4. Next I am thinking russian which is gonna be a big challenge since It's a totally different language with different alphabet. Most of the fake polygloths master 2 languages at the most (including english) and the rest is bullshitt.

  30975. You visited a lot of Chinese shops! Why not left their addresses in the end of films so viewers can know where they are in Tokyo?
    1
  30976. 個人的には、日本人は日本語しか話せない人が多いから、複数の言語を話せる人と出会うと、その言語のレベルを問わず、「上手ですね！」って言ってしまうんだと思う。 most of Japanese can’t speak any foreign language at all. So, in my opinion, when they meet someone who can speak any foreign language regardless of its level , they tend to say “Your foreign language is so good”.

  30977. I love it that you speak their language it is best , I love ground sitting . Am not Japanese just a person born like this lol Best wishes 🙏🏽❤️☮️

  30984. I still remember when you start uploading these videos, the last time I was commenting here this channel maybe was less than 15K subs and you were chilling and posting people's reactions to you speaking their language. Then COVID cases were going up in Japan, some axxhole try to hack your channel and you bought a new laptop. After that subscriber's numbers increased by hundreds then thousands .. here you go today almost 120K and more to go ... What I would say this is life everything has a purpose and nothing happens randomly or for no reason, so we just should adapt and keep going. Stay strong beautiful people.

  30987. Hi Anming! I was just wondering the other day about the story behind your roommate situation. Now I know! However, I've also been wondering a few other things which I don't know if you've covered another videos, but this seems like a good chance to ask: -Your name is Anming, but what is your given American name? (just your first name obviously) -On your channel trailer, why were you appearing on the Chinese game / talk show where you’re in the gown in front of a very large theater? What is the story behind that?

  30990. My grandmother is Japanese, and my mom was born in Japan but when my grandma came to the states she said we live in america we speak american... So she never taught me or her daughters Japanese. I really wish I could have learned from a young age.

  30991. This is so awesome!!! Love seeing people of all cultures connecting. I’ve watched a few of your videos and it’s really heart warming seeing how Japan and China both embrace you. Such great people there! Hello from USA and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

  30992. I had an ex in college who was born in Japan but was not ethnically japanese. He had permanent residence, but lost it when he didnt go back to Japan one year. Otherwise totally support the move to stick with a Japanese citizenship.

  31000. I like watching some of the older videos on your channel, just because I am not been a subscriber for a very long time, but I wanted to say how I thought, that looking straight into the eyes, when you speak to others in Japan, makes the Japanese people nervous, was very interesting. In my country it’s actually considered rude, if you don’t do that. It feels like the person you are talking to is not interested in you, same way like responding hai or ey (I don’t know if I wrote it correctly). I hope it’s understandable, what I wanted to say. Ignore any typos. English grammar is not my strong point 😅

  31015. In my country images of a sexual nature of a character which is portrayed to be underage are illegal. When I went to visit Japan and went to 7-11, there was a manga on sale which would have DEFINITELY been illegal in the UK. Full nudity of a clearly underage character that could be seen by literally anybody walking through the shop. It was on sale in multiple stores, too.

  31018. I’m in favour of people learning other languages: it’s not uncommon during times of conflict, to demonize what the “enemy” is saying. Mighty tongues tell mighty lies! But if people knew for themselves what was said in other languages, we could hold our leaders’ feet to the fire (so to speak) and keep them truthful. A lot of strife could be avoided, I think. Taking potshots at polyglots is unhelpful

  31035. Hii!! I'm not sure if you will see my comment. But I wanted to let you know that I've been seeing your video's the past two days and I'm in love with them!!! I always wanted to learn Japanese and you kinda inspired me to just do it. I've been hearing your tips and thank you for that! I actually have a topic (maybe a bit edgy, I wouldn't know)... But I'm wondering what the view is on homosexuality in Japan. Idk, if you are up for it but I would really like to know ˆˆ! Well I hope you have a wonderful day and can't wait to see your next video! Greetings from The Netherlands!

  31069. I wish the innocence and wonder of experiencing another culture or race was acceptable these days. It may be acceptable still in some Asian countries however its rare that you'll find this in a western country without scrutiny of culturally appropriating, being "racist" (frequently misused term), or general ignorance. Being curious about foreign things (culture/people) should be normalised not demonized :(

  31082. 1:24 till the end of the video can use a slight audio boost. At least its affordable where you live! Rent where I am is 2000 a month due to strict building and pluming regulations. How I see it, you can always move to a better place once you start earning more but not even having the option to rent cheap and save money is worse. At the end of the day you just need a place to sleep.

  31097. 82 sqm for $1 million? Jesus. Then again, with that price, you're pretty much paying for being in Japan. Here in Manila, that $1M gets you a much larger, far more upscale unit in a posh area in the city. And they usually come with 2 or more parking slots included. Then again, even if you live in a posh area here, the rest of Manila sucks compared to Tokyo. So that's that.

  31099. I subscribed because I think you're possessed by many souls. A famous French writer said for each language we learn we obtain an additional soul. My two sons studied in Asia. They learned korean and vietnamese and Chinese. Both my sons married Chinese women. They speak Chinese in their homes. My grandchildren are also fluent in Chinese. One of my sons' lived in Taiwan for two years. He complained even with language mastery he was not accepted and always felt an outsider because he did not look like Cheese people.

  31101. Katie... You. are. so. gorgeous.

  31102. It's very simple reasons. We Japanese believe speaking in a foreign language is an unbelievably great skill which most Japanese people can't. Even me who just stay in the U.S. for several years, I'm always asked to speak English when I'm in Japan and Japanese friends realize I am studying abroad, and I just say like '' Hi I'm an international student majoring in Chemistry in the U.S.'' then they react ''Eigo Sugoi!!''(Your English is amazing!) And Japanese is a very limited language in terms of where it's spoken (only in Japan) so we really appreciate your efforts speaking our unique language. It might be a sort of おせじ, but this おせじ is not a fake compliment, but more like admiration, appreciation, and encouragement. So they are not mean at all.

Ppl who arent good at it will pick on anything they can. Its the same with utube. If u enjoy and r really good at something, theres a minority who will cry n carry on bcoz they are not as good. Its politics 101. If u haven't guessed .... it really annoys me. You n wouter are awesome. Rock on 🤘

  31121. Here's the thing, people are people, whatever the gender whatever the race, we have that 1 thing in common that we are all humans, it's the differences that are interesting. When a white person says to a black person, oh I really like your hair, it' a genuine interest, but now a days in this mad woke world we find ourselves in, we are taught that enquiring about other folks differences is some kind of bigotry, well in the West we are taught that, but you don't need to be a genius to see that that kind of thinking is never going to help bring us together.

  31122. Proof there is poverty all over the world even in countries that give the illusion they have none. Wiping it off the map definitely doesn't make it disappear. I noticed that there seemed to be very few women if any in the video. Is there a reason for that? Thank you for showing a very different picture of Japan than I've ever seen before.

  31131. This video was super helpful. I started japanese on my own with no YouTube exposure about 2 weeks ago. Just simple memorizing hiragana. And I felt quite accomplished, but when I started looking up language programs for direction on google and YouTube I got lost. I at one point was so annoyed at not having a resource to just point me in a direction that I almost quit. Seeing so many just breezing through languages really made me think I must be too old for this. I still feel lost on where to set my foundation for japanese learning, but it's nice to hear that I am not alone and that a lot of it is sensationalized. Thanks for video!

  31145. My grandmother was Japanese and chose to marry an American man stationed in Japan during the height of US/Japanese conflict. She was disowned by her family and moved to the US, never speaking with them again. I often wonder with the time passed and new generations since, how I would be perceived by those who’re blood relatives and technically family but I’ve never talked to— especially the older generations. Great to see the elderly of Japan exude such kindness and lightheartedness towards foreigners! As always, the content is appreciated Anming.

  31157. Anming, you are right, holding arms each other is rare in Japan. I know it is common for Koreans but is for Chinese too! Hug is getting popular in Japan but is disappearing by covid 19 issues. One more thing is that I noticed in this vid he, the guy who kindly let you eat fermented soybeans!

  31167. I mean, the short answer would really be that you can make money off of it AND it's harmless, so... Not even that, but it's inspiring. Watching content like this encourages me to study because I really want to speak other languages. It also inspires me to improve on my current situation because I want to have the means to travel and enjoy the world someday. It's fun to watch and as long as you aren't fetishizing or stereotyping, it's okay. Which I definitely haven't seen from you, and I honestly don't think I've seen from people like Xiaoma or Laoshu either. Some privileged people just always want something to stir up drama about.. "this HUGE ISSUE on Youtube, guys..", meanwhile millions of people out there are actually struggling with real problems.

  31170. I really like how they’re so open to talk to foreigners, it’s very refreshing! But I’m also kinda scared, I don’t know if it’s for my own prejudices and also because of what I heard, but I actually have some tattoos in my forearm (a traditional Japanese tattoo also 😗)so I think that Japanese people would be not so willing to talk to me if I ever go there

  31171. Any idea on when American tourists will be allowed to visit Japan? Just asking for a best guess. I have heard if the Olympics will still happen then tourism might open up right before that. I have heard others say that is not the case. Most Americans won't get vaccinated until summer. Not sure about Japan? At this point, I would be happy if it happens at all in 2021.

  31176. I just realised I needed 15+ years of studying English (not very consistently) to get to B2+ level and I'd need at least 6 or 7 more years of dedicated work if I wanted to confidently say I'm C2 and hopefully be able to do academic reading and writing. suddenly I feel way less insecure about barely scratching B1 after 10 years of studying Japanese. These insecurities made me want to quit at many times and only thing that keeps me going is that I don't want to throw away these past 10 years and I hope that maybe after another 10 years of studying I'd be actually be able to use Japanese and all that money on classes wouldn't go to waste

  31180. Study time is important but some people also have brain structures that incline them to pick up languages faster. Therefore there actually are cases where one person could learn and retain more in 15 minutes of studying than another person does in 6 hours.

  31185. It’s funny how Asian people won’t say a word to you if you’re not their ethnicity, but Once they find out u speak their language they’ll talk your ear off 😂. You eat a lot of crap LOL

  31187. Spreading goodwill! I love it! One year of Mandarin in college is all I had. I took a year of Russian and three years of German. Not much of it has stayed with me.

  31188. In countries with immigration we don't compliment language skills because it's seen as very rude, except in particular situations were we are genuinely impressed. I remember there was a Kurdish girl in our class which came to Norway less than a year before she started in our class, but already spoke fluent Norwegian, and everyone would compliment her. But she was a special case, we genuinely were impressed. How-ever, if an immigrant had come to Norway say 60 years ago we would be impressed by them only knowing a word or two. It was something new and exciting. When Luis Armstrong came to Oslo, people would line up just because they had never seen a black person before. How things have changed. But when I went to Asia I have to say I got similar experiences. I was in rural Thailand for almost half a year and people would be surprised and stare at me, say "foreigner" behind me back when I walked past them on the street, or be very eager to say hello to me. I felt like a celebrity or something, and word of mouth would go around and everyone suddenly knew my name even though I barely told anyone. Young kids would want to hold their arm next to my arm to compare skin colour. Strangers would invite me for a beer. They would use the only English words and phrases they knew, like school girls shouting "I love you" or "marry me" at me. That was a complete shock to me, but now I realise it was just because that's probably the only thing they knew, they were just having some fun. And then if I learned one or two words apart from hello they would all become seemingly filled with joy and surprise that I knew them. Imagine if someone had acted like that in Norway. Stared at people with a different skin colour, hold out your arm to compare the skin colour, say they were good at Norwegian for knowing a word or two, or invite someone for a beer just because they were n't ethnic Norwegian. All of that would be extremely rude or condescending. It's all about how much immigration is normal.

  31202. Why would they hack into your computer to take videos. If anyone wants your videos, they can just download them from youtube themselves. Also, you dont need a reddit acc to watch reddit subs. Also, you dont need to buy a new computer. Just wipe the drive and reinstall the OS. Its very easy.

  31203. Salary in the US for a software developer is upwards of 100k while lower in Japan so it wouldnt make sense to move to Japan however, in canada its like half of the US because we don't have many Silicon Valley companies in canada which is why im exploring options on moving to Japan since Salary would be similar to Canada ( 4m yen ~ 50k for a starting position )

  31240. As an Indonesian, i speak 3-4 languages on daily basis : Bahasa Indonesia or English when meeting clients or during office meeting at work, occasional basic Javanese with friends at work or after office hour, and my own ethnic language (Manado Malay/Manadonese) at home. Nothing special, all Indonesian especially those who live in major cities did the same.

It’s Great News that the Earthquake didn’t effect your area. You are loved, blessed and an encouragement to many. Its Great to see you sitting down with your roommates, once again. I’ve missed seeing you enjoy your happy times with them all. It’s nice that you have a new companion as well to share your adventures with. Stay Safe and Positive. 🙋🏻‍♀️🇺🇸🔍❤️🙏🏽

  31263. It is amazing that these #$$&$have nothing better to do then bad mouth another YouTuber to get views from their own fans. If you don’t like something don’t look at it. Do not attack other people for enjoying making and/or watching another’s Chanel whether you like it or not. Simply put when I find something enjoyable I watch it if I do not I click to another link. Girl continue to do what makes your heart happy and in doing so you bring joy to you viewers. Do not even give haters the thought by ready their posts….DELETE

  31282. Hi OP, I was shocked and saddened at the young black guy in Korea, speaking Korean extremely well btw, I mean without guilt tripping anyone, learning a language, especially Asian languages, is very difficult. I would have asked the said young lady on the train if she owned it? If not, she should move. Yeh, I have a very wide personal space limit, so if there were empty seats, GREAT! 😂🙏🖐🏻🇬🇧

  31283. I guess I'll post another experience I had catching Japanese girls talking about me. I don't recall any guys ever talking about me right in front of me (maybe they did though). I lived in a dormitory style share house with about 60 people. We had members of all ages and it was an English speaking share house so English was encouraged and presumably all Japanese people living there wanted to learn English. There was a large community living area and kitchen. I went down in the middle of the night to get something from the kitchen and two young Japanese ladies/girls were in the kitchen talking to each other. I can't say for sure what they were talking about before I got there but I would assume the guys in the share house. They just looked at me and switched to talking about me as if I were deaf or something. Granted, my Japanese was hit and miss but I picked up on this - I mean they were looking at right me for God sake. One girl said something nice about me but the other one completely disagreed. I don't know what it is with Japanese girls talking about foreign guys like they're not there when they are. I guess guys would do it too maybe but about foreign girls instead probably.

  31286. Sorry An Ming, but unless the fruit in those cans are submerged in anything else except their own juices and water they are likely filled with syrup (liquid sugar), and that makes them belong in the "junk food" category too.., And in my experience, canned fruits without any syrup isn't that tasty on their own, they need cream and maybe something sweet to make them good to eat. They are however good to use in dessert recipes, but then you're sure to add sugar again...LOL! May I suggest that you maybe buy a couple of stackable transparent plastic containers with lids to store your groceries in? It would maybe make your little room (that I think looks quite cozy) a bit tidier looking and easier to clean? Just a thought.

  31293. "Please look kindly upon me" is what my long ago deceased mom used to say to herself in Russian before entering some big authority's door and passed on that knwoledge to me... H-m-m. Intersting. I's amazing you speak fluently two of those most complex langueges in the world probably. English is the only languege i've "mastered" so far. Im in awe. So when you're recognized as a russian instead of neglecting it you should probably say "yes, but I just dunnow the languege yet") I can help you with learnig Russian little bit, but i'm afraid that, you may get into the category of impostes if you don't get enogh knoledge of it.

  31303. i don't see the need to fit in. you have a broader knowledge by learning , speaking and easily assimilating with more people who are diverse in many many ways. you should be having with every moment. i think to fit in is kind of self limitation feels like feeling good for being boxed in with my kind ,your kind , that kind.....mind set. you are more free to explore more. carpe diem.

  31324. 最近看了好幾個YouTuber都是拍白人講中文來讓華人「驚訝」的影片，面對華人回的「你中文很好」，也幾乎是回應「沒有啦」、「還好啦」、「你比我好」（華人聽到白人說自己中文比他好…似乎有點怪怪的…）等等，真的沒什麼在說「謝謝」，其實光說「謝謝」比較好一點，不卑不亢。一味謙虛有點讓人覺得「假假的」，或是覺得好像是像How are you? I'am fine thank you and you般的課本式回應。

  31341. Hi Pearl. We have a mutual friend who speaks highly of you in Tokyo and I can see why. You seem like a genuine NICE person (Your recent comment on Daniels video about you backs that up). Don't stop doing what you are doing and I hope you get to 1m subs by the end of the year with your talents (which is what they are, and those who attack are jealous and pathetic). Also people commenting on your appearance? Baffling. Keep going, you're in the 'likable' category of popular J-vloggers in my opinion, and f the insignificant haters. Edit: mocking that hannah girl was hilarious.

  31343. My Japanese is terrible, but I understand a lot of common phrases. When I arrived at Narita, I was asked to place my luggage on a table in Japanese. I did so. I was asked to open my luggage. I did so. The man asked if I speak Japanese. I said no. LOL. Poor man was so confused. I didn't know how to tell him my speaking skills were bad, but I had a good grasp of vocabulary.

  31358. Congrats to the both of you, you are a very lucky lady. You both look very beautiful, and your husband is very charming with his character. Wish the best for both of you in your marriage and a long and healthy marriage. It is nice to see couple who look past their differences and unify together by their strengths and love, and i can see the love in his eyes. Think his name should have been written in the title though. And as well he will make you very happy as Japanese men always are dedicated to you for rest of life, guaranteed. Take care both of you

  31373. I really liked how you pointed out that the native speakers are speaking very very very slowly. The problem with the so called "polyglots" is they get very boastful about their skill. 🤣 And they would say that your language is a basic shit. 😂

  31383. i can't imaginge why anyone would say chinese and japanese are similar, unless you have some rare-to-unique language facility. but you are putting it to good use, and enjoying life as young people should. i'll check in for more of your story as it unfolds- good luck!

  31384. Japanese kanji writing originally derived from chinese characters many centuries ago, i believe. besides the native islanders of japan, chinese and japanese share ancestral dna, i believe.

  31401. It's not hard to make friends when you are fluent in the language. Also, being a younger female is also helpful than a foreign male. I lived for only 4 years in Japan, and people were friendly enough, but I did not progress with the language as well you do!

  31409. Truthful contributors say which levels they have attained in each language, making distinctions between comprehension, conversation, reading and writing. I like seeing HOW each approaches language study. -- one size does not fit all. I approach languages -- Mandarin & Cantonese, Russian (childhood Macedonian/Bulgarian) and Romance languages with different tools and compartments of my brain. Thanx to you and Matt!

  31418. Anming, I'm taking my first train with my bag and skateboards tomorrow morning to begin my trip. You are one of the persons who inspired me to leave my native country, to learn and grow. I'll take my Chinese textbook of course and follow your vlogs from elsewhere now. Greetings from France! Thomas.

  31424. Another great video, Anming-san. It's refreshing to see videos of interactions with real people, whether you just talk about mundane stuff or somehow stray into a really specific topic. I have a suggestion for future videos: Try talking with people with strong regional accents? For example, Kansai-ben or Kagoshima-ben? Maybe have them say a popular phrase and have you figure out what it means. Then maybe a video where you can share your observations on the accents of people who speak Mandarin but are from the mainland, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. Hope you get to read this, stay safe!

  31425. You are just paranoïac ! That woman probably was looking for Something fast and didn't find it and went out again. Seriously, if i was a Japanese man, i would also follow you if i knew how good you speak japanese and chineese, just to see how others react to you… exactly why i Watch your videos here too 😉
    1
  31426. First dude was def ready for all the smoke with the anime question. They really dislike it when you're only reason for visiting Japan is "OMG anime is so good ill go to Japan and be an anime protagonist!" So being able to speak their language would be a really good idea.

  31427. As tourist, the cyclist still kinda shoked me, I feels like there is no rules for cyclist: anywhere, anywhen, anyhow ^_^ Japan is a very unique country, I love it very much. Sad I may not come this year because of the virus.
    1
  31428. I am impressed. More plz!!!
    1
  31429. It also comes down to personality and language. People will still be learning Japanese, so actually may be more awkward and feel like they sound weird. They could also be very shy. I am NOT making excuses up, I am just saying a possibility. I am only a kid so I don’t know why but I’m just thinking these are the main reasons?

  31440. this video is a whole vibe, i plan to go to japan for my first ever trip abroad and spend 3 months there. i'm a completely inexperienced traveler so it's gonna be a challenge to get me out of my comfort zone. i kinda wanna do what you're doing, just walk around and explore. would you call yourself a naturally extroverted person?
    1
  31441. The whole conversation was so fun 😁😁😁 but on the other side i was so scared that people would ignore you and give you a cold stare🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
    1
  31442. do you ever get "language leak"? i'm doing several languages, russian, ukraine, and czech among them. it's a slippery slide. ie: i was driving my wife nuts because i "earwormed" a word, and couldn't remember what it referred to, but knew it was slavic. "bread" in Haitian Kreyol. languages can be fun! love your vids!

  31447. How are you so fluent in Japanese .I take foreign language classes (japanese was my option cause I love japan ,their people and culture and love watching anime)but it's kinda difficult memorising all the scripts and counters is jlpt(N4 minimum) compulsory to get into a eng business school or work in japan .cause I think I'll mostly be able to get through 2 to 3 levels and can further improve my Japanese when I get there cause yeah speaking japanese and learning will be easier in its place or origin.anyways tell me if there are any suggestions on how you learnt japanese which will make it helpful for me .I love japan wish I was born their 😭 now I am striving for my dream to go to Japan and stay there for the rest of my life .hope life turns out the way I want it to.arigatou gozaimasu

  31451. Anming , I live in Louisiana ,2 1/2 hour drive from famous New Orleans . 9th Ward Ghetto near down town New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina as bad as 8th in Detroit. Crime in New Orleans way worse in 2023. Shootings,killings,robberies of tourist in French Quarter area . I no longer visit New Orleans , unless you have bullet proof vest and guns. Now the best food you will ever taste is in (Lafayette) Louisiana , Cajun cooking. I would be honored to be your tour guide , Tommy and you Anming could sample southern cooking. Promise to keep you away from ghetto here. I am with a Catholic - (St. Francis of Asissi - Third Order) organization ,that we get together to feed the homeless 2 to 3 times a year. Lafayette ,also has a St. Joseph's diner that feeds the homeless year around. We could visit Avery Island where we make famous (Tobasco sauce) , Bamboo,Flowers , A (Huge Buddha statue ) given to Louisiana Island in 1936 from Japan , swamp tour with birds,alligators ,scenery. St. Martinville ,story of Evangeline and Why Acadians from Canada settled here ,Vermillionville - Cajun/Acadian way of living from the 1765 -2023.

  31454. I guess my main criticism is the same with most Youtube "Reality" video, it's all edited so they can remove mistakes and only include the bits that sound good. Even then a lot of these people claiming to speak a million languages only speak the most basic beginner level greetings or book level, it's not even really how people speak and they have trouble forming sentences, that isn't speaking a language to me even if somebody in the street finds is surprising and amusing somebody foreign is trying to speak their language. I've never seen videos that really go into language at a competent level from most of the famous ones and some of them use the exact same phrases in each video. I know actual polyglots in business and politics and they have a deep and intimate knowledge of the languages they speak along with the culture behind them. Language is more than just knowing the words from a book, it's about living and experiencing a culture to develop a more natural vocabulary. When you speak Japanese or Chinese it's obvious you learned it by speaking with real people and have a deep vocabulary to a technical level where you can express yourself in more complex ways than day-to-day conversation. To somebody with no knowledge that day-to-day level sounds like a pro but it's just useable and by no means is any sort of competency in a language. If people find those videos where somebody says basic phrases in 20 languages entertaining that's fine but it doesn't make them reality. Nobody learns a language in a week, you can learn basic greetings and phrases in a week though.

  31460. I am sorry to hear that you are cramped in a tiny dark dinghy room. Life back in US could have been a luxury compared to an exotic place. Don't you miss your parents?
    1
  31461. Roll on, Pearl. (For us motorcycle types, rolling on is upping the throttle!). Thanks for another great and inspiring video. The one thing I appreciate about your vids about learning languages is you don't short circuit it with the idea that it's easy; just a few hours here and there and you'll be up in no time. How not true! Yet, you reveal the light at the end of the tunnel, not leaving us in the dark, groping around, hunting, hoping. Thanks for that.

  31473. Looks like you were having fun. Do you plan to show more of your trip to the country at a later date? Hardest part for me living in Japan was getting bored or lonely when I was off work. And being tired because most of the time I was in a semiconductor fab 12 to 16hrs a day. Thanks for the video! 👋😁 See you next time!

  31483. Thank you for the video. Nice point about all the people who skip learning to read and write in the L2; literature is one of the greatest reasons to learn a second language; especially in a world where many people will try to only speak English with you, reading is perhaps the most satisfying part of learning a second language. HOWEVER, you miss the root of the word "polyglot," when you bash those "illiterate polyglots," because γλώσσα means "tongue." ;)

  31484. Having studied martial arts from childhood beginning with Shorinryu Karate and learning to play the shakuhachi I respect individuals who also appreciate Japanese sports, music, and culture. This is a brilliant series and one I hope you will continue. To date my experience with Japanese individuals is that they appreciate those who have a genuine interest and respect for Japanese culture.

  31498. When I went to Shanghai and Hangzhou, I was with my old friends who went to the college with in Europe. This is the situation! You really don't want to be rude that you cannot eat certain food because your friends are so hospitable and nice. I tried my best to eat food I was not used to. With this challenge, you really learn the new culture and a way of living. The beginning is hard but the future will be bright!

  31508. Those criticizing you have a very limited horizon of experience and none of the contrast that living abroad and speaking another language gives a person. I can see the perseverance and effort it takes to learn the language, practice it, and also trying to integrate and adapt to the culture while being singled out for looking different. People, this is what being a foreigner who speaks the local language and that looks and sounds different is like on a daily basis! Locals are always going to ask where are you from and ask how did you learn the language and why are you there! It is way better than being plainly ignored and ostracized, it means people are open and curious about foreigners and not apprehensive and distrusting. Please, keep sharing your experiences with us, I don't think many realize how far you have gotten by having a job at a company in Tokyo in the little time you have been there.

  31509. 你真很有耐心学习，作为中国人我觉得学习中文重要的不是语法，而是文字。中文的整套词汇成语其实就是儒释道三家思想的著作里稀释出来的思想，你能把这些融会贯通了那就是真正的中华文明继承者。

  31526. I just came across your channel and after about 10 minutes and I knew that I had to pause the video and subscribe - you have a very soothing voice - I could tell that you are kind to all and that’s so important - we need more individuals such as you - I hate that your family could not attend one of the most important days of your life - Congratulations on your wedding, may you and your husband have only good cross your paths - I can’t wait to binge watch all your videos - Thanks for sharing your lives with the world - it’s nice to get a glimpse of Japan - your videos are as close as I’ll ever get to Japan lol - it’s nice to see other cultures and their way of life!

  31529. Wowwww, your skills !! Awesome I lived, studied and taught in Thailand for a few years. Got pretty good at the language and loved this kinda interaction too. Locals really appreciated that westerners took the time to learn . Did overhear the odd cheeky comment about tourists which always got a reaction when I'd laugh, frown or comment back that, "that's not very nice " 😋 was always in good humour to be fair because it was funny what they would say . Mostly innocent enough comments

  31534. For me: - I thought more people spoke English (like even in China and Korea, they can understand me when I ask them for directions) but I was surprised many people just said “wakarimasen” to me even though I showed them a map or where I wanted to go to (it was actually one minute away haha) - didn’t know how expensive fruits were - didn’t know you shouldnt eat while walking - the first thing that shocked me upon my 1st day in Tokyo was seeing kids that look like 5 year olds walking by themselves. Coming from the states, that’s just impossible. I didn’t even walk get permission to walk to school or walk home alone until I was 12 lol I’m sure there’s more. What about you guys?

  31545. Hurray! You got PRINGLES! You are safe! It brings back memories! During the severe four-week quarantine, I went out to CVS(ha ha, yes to the pharmacy) during the night, to get 2 packs of PRINGLES (onion with sour cream and BBQ flavor)! I was craving for junk-food...or call it addiction! However, don't tell your friends that we sell that kind of junk or shoe-polish, or light bulbs ...in American pharmacies!!!!!!!!!!! They won't get it! Ha, ha... Stay SAFE!!

  31551. woow u should saw me right now, i have a big smile on my face ... cuz u have good frieds with u and as u said, when u live far from home, family, hometown ... to live in a different culture indeed is hard (i know), hopefully u made a lot of good memories and of course this quarentine will be over one day, meanwhile I'm impressed how chinnese have some similarities with my grandmother dialect (Mexico have a lot of native dialects / languages with a quite interesting pronunciation so different from spanish). Hope u are fine whereaver u are! :) Greetings

  31557. Language is an art and the mastery of a language is achieved by how much 'effective' efforts you put in. Yes 6 hrs and 50 words a day seem a lot but if your life situation allows you, you'll make the sacrifice (years of sacrifice). In the end, it's all worth it. Honestly, Anming's Chinese mastery level (from the perspective of learners) is well beyond most other foreign vloggers I'm aware of. Hats off to you Anming. You're a genious. 👩🏼‍🎓

  31564. The conversation they had about the Japanese term Yanki here is a bit confusing, so I did a little research and now I can clarify. Yankee can indeed have a negative connotation in English, but for a completely different reason than in Japanese. In Japanese it refers to a working class youth subculture that tends to disrespect authority and play pranks. In English, it can be a mildly patronizing way for British people to refer to Americans, or a neutral-to-hateful term used by Southerners to refer to Northerners. It doesn't have to be negative, but it certainly can be, really depends on context. Ironically, a Japanese "Yanki" makes me think of an edgy young southerner that goes around waving the Confederate flag and talking about the South rising again more to make a statement and be shocking than because they intend to organize a rebellion.

It's not easy to do so. Over time, people came to use 「吹牛皮」/「吹牛」 to refer to boasting. （https://www.zhihu.com/question/21529766

  31574. 全然大丈夫 = young speakers poor grammar :-) ... it is true that making a positive statement in combination with 全然 has become common but for us older folks who speak Japanese for more than 30 years it sounds hideous.
    1
  31575. I agree with you Tokyo people are a bit shy they live busy lives it's like that in big cities. They take a bit of time to feel comfortable chatting to you speaking a little bit of the Japanese helps a lot. I visited Japan 3 times. Image is a big thing that helps and don't act like a stereotype,be loud or be over opinionated.

  31576. One of the greatest country's in the world regarding public safety, every public building is prepared for an earthquake. Funny how you are practically riffing away making comments and poor Tommy opposite you looks as if he could lose himself in fear, but his Japanese superpower will not allow him to even go there.
    1
  31577. I remember how foolish I felt when I said "Konban wa" when I was leaving some Japanese co-workers in the evening, and they explained to me that "Konban wa" is only used upon arriving in the evening. I'm sure I committed many other errors that my Japanese co-workers were too polite to mention. I tried to keep my mouth shut and concentrate on listening to the conversations around me to try to discern the topic.

  31594. That is very interesting the way! And yes, the Japanese Kanji and Chinese words are both similar, but don't get mixed what you're writing before post. :) As a hard hearing-aid. I would be trouble with speaking fast, but on this video has helped me with slow 0.5 speed to getting more understanding what you're saying. By the way, It seems like you're very happy with Chinese and Japanese people. Because you won't have a problem speaking with simultaneously speaking on the between Chinese and Japanese. (I'd say helping them for interpreter communicate as if someone who don't have a experience speaking) I would visit the China and Japan places once I've mastered with the very basic speaking. (such as restaurant and places) once covid is over.

  31640. 09:23 This was very much my experience of Japan - as soon as you ask a question in Japanese, you can get a whole lot of information! Unfortunately for me I know how to ask a lot of things but aren't really advanced enough yet to understand answers unless they're super simple. I can't wait to be able to have actual conversations with people, it really changes your experience of a country!

  31642. How long does it take to learn Chinese? If you are really obsessed. Something like 15 hours a day of learning. No joking) Cool video. I always admired people who can learn SEA languages. Moreover Chinese.

  31647. 3:21 .... 😶 ain't nothing harder to lear, write and pronounce than Chinese... I find Japanese way easier than Chinese... I think even Korean would be easier than Chinese.. I'm personally learning Japanese, I already have half year learning it and I don't find it "とても 難しい"

  31648. I feel a different energy in this video for sure, making big moves !

  31650. My wife got me a book to learn Japanese for my birthday 2 weeks ago and we have started working through it together and loving it so far. I have always dreamed of visiting Japan and she now shares that dream which is great! We never wanted to just go and get by with English as we want to go for at least 4-6 weeks to travel around the country but my track record with languages isn't great so I am hoping this will be the exception! Thank you for your videos as it is seeing the reactions and joy you bring to people just because you took the time to learn their language thag helps drive me as we want to do the trip right and show respect to anyone we meet even if we can only hold basic conversations! Keep up the amazing work!

  31654. Thank you for your video! You seem like a down to earth person. Look forward to seeing your future videos!! How did you find this job or do they treat you differently and if so in which way?

  31655. Well, I now think Anming wanted to torture me. A year a half or so ago, I mentioned that I wanted to take Japanese in Japan and was considering different locations, and you suggested that Tokyo would be best for conversational based Japanese. Now you put this language content out, and your advice is totally different. I have mentioned I'm a contrarian by nature, and you suggested a highly structured format, with almost no human element. That you hated! I can see that my classroom boredom if I'm not enjoying the learning environment and subject. I'd probably get tossed out class on my ear, for being me. Basically, you are now suggesting what I had been seriously considering anyway. I'm not against cities for their amenities, but I gravitate towards the rural less populated areas. The Akita Inaka School is now higher on my list than it was after your previous video about the place. Thanks for a language learning video that fit my wants and maybe my needs. But, I am suspicious now. Looking forward to your reteaming with Jessica Gerrity for some Yabusame. I've always had a weakness for pretty horses, and fast women, although they chased cans, rather than carrying bows and speaking Japanese.

  31662. Hi! Oriental Pearl, Are you into Chinese history? If so, I recommend you learn either in Japan or Taiwan. As you might know well, today's history in mainland China is completely CCP propaganda. I'll give you a tip on history of Japanese language in relation with Chinese. In Japan Chinese characters(漢字) can be pronounced into two different styles, i.e., 音読み(onyomi) and 訓読み(kunyomi). 訓読み is origal or traditional words i.e., 和語(wago) or 大和言葉(yamatokotoba). We applied Chinese characters of similar meaning to read orignal Japanese words since Japan had no written characters at that time. That is 訓読み. Whereas 音読み are borrowed Chinese words same as it was in China. Ancient Japan adopted only Chinese pronunciations without tones since Japanese has no tones(声調). Japan imported many Chinese words mainly from 長安(today's 西安) in 唐代(Tang Dynasty around 600~900). That's why 音読み is so different from today's Chinese(共通話). In 1868 Meiji Restoration started. In Asia, Japan was the first country that adopted Western systems, technologies and science. Japanese intellectuals of Meiji era translated many Western words unknown in Asia at that time, by using Chinese characters, such as 科学(science), 原子(atom),物理(physics),人民(citizen),共和国(republic),経済(economy),資本(capital),主義(-ism), mentioned just a few. Many of these words were exported from Japan to China and are used now. This would be a rough explanation on Chinese and Japanese history.

I normally expect chinese lessons conducted in either West Coast California or East Coast New Jersey because these 2 hosted the biggest Chinatown in the world. Anyway thanks 4 opening my eyes bigger. I hope the Mandarin influence will spread the whole Southern zone soon.😊Miami-Texas-Cali.😊

  31690. It's fascinating how Japan (and other places) have so many flavors of Kit Kats. In the U.S. I found some wonderful dark chocolate mint Kit Kats recently and they were a close-out. I enjoyed them while I could. Seems like the only differences here are sizes. [Just saw another video which says Kit Kat sounds like Kittokatsu, which means "to surely win".]

  31698. I actually met a gal that was from Michigan (the U.P. area), who visited my homeland (Vietnam). It’s pretty awesome to know/see so many well-traveled/well-versed individuals (linguistically). Makes my heart warm for some reason. Not sure how to explain it.
    1
  31699. Oriental Pearl, I’ll definitely check that out and see if I’m familiar with some of the places you’ve traversed in Saigon. I’ve been back about 3 or 4 times in my life so I guess you can say I know that area pretty well. As for the UP, I’ve never been that far up north, but have only heard great stuff about the natural beauty there. Similar to that of Sa Pa, VN. I’ve only been to Detroit for a work trip. Gặp lại sau, Viet
    1
  31700. Oriental Pearl, you should totally go back! And visit Nha Trang, VinPearland, Hoi An. Some beautiful coastal towns by the water. Perhaps even brush-up on your Vietnamese as well (so you can pull off some of your jaw-dropping reaction videos). Haha...
    1
  31701. I loved this video :D
    1
  31702. I was born and raised in Japan. I think your Japanese is really good. The ultimate compliment in Japan would be in they don’t mention that your Japanese is really good, instead, they just launch into normal Japanese conversation with you. No one ever says to me, “Wow, your English is really good.” The best compliment is when I speak to someone on the phone before meeting them. When I meet them in person, they express shock and say, “Wow, I thought you were gaikoku-Jin.”

  31706. Your pronunciation and training is better than mine ever was. But from my experience in Taiwan, the younger folks absolutely appreciated an American speaking Mandarin, but the boomers were annoyed. Might be because my skills were lacking, or there might have been a historical or political component. Hard to say, but it was very obvious the difference in the way a 20-year-olds treated me vs 60-year-olds. And maybe Taiwan is different from mainland China. Arabic is like that squared. An American speaking Arabic is perceived like a talking dog. Never been to the Middle East, but Arabs in USA and Europe are extremely surprised and impressed if an American speaks a little Arabic.
    1
  31707. It's very intersting to see how American housing mindset handles itself in Japan. 62m2 it's a pretty decent apartment in Belgrade (Serbia), but he monthly rent won't be over $300-$450, so my husband and I would actually find it "just like at home" in yours. But for Tokyo standards, that's indeed a very spacious and large apartment, someone would say you're very lucky ^^

  31711. Hello again! Love your videos! I was just wondering if you can do another video about the culture of Japan? Especially about tattoos. I think you did one before. But I would love to visit Asia one day. But I have a sleeve and a love of large tattoos on my legs, so I’m just curious how people dress or where to go or not to go with them. Also, when you were listening to your audio lessons, I see you use flash cards too in another video too. What other advise would you give to someone learning another language? Once again, Love you videos! Hope you have a great summer!! And good luck with your job search 😊
    1
  31712. Hi, I wonder if you could review this other Youtuber and give your thoughts? I disagree with this gentleman about business transactions with Chinese people. He suggests you should not divulge you understand their language to have the advantage in a business meeting. Sounds ethnically sketchy to me or would this not be offensive to native Chinese? Included in the Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHkI9A3-Neg

  31715. I think people enjoy videos like yours because we enjoy seeing the positive and drastic reactions that come from people seeing foreigners unexpectedly speak their mother tongue. The videos are very positive and leave you feeling happy. It’s extremely inspiring to see your accomplishments providing you with such amazing intercultural experiences. Your videos especially have a very natural feel while some others seem more produced or forced. Keep it up.

  31716. you should try learning some german sometime, it's a lot like english

  31717.  @OrientalPearl  Keep making them and they will come. YouTube is a great place for international relations, because you can show people all over the world just how beautiful these countries really are, and there is no-one doing that as well as you.

  31731. Okay street videos are good^, but because they're "repetitive", it gets boring i guess. And when people are bored they get irritated 😂 I just don't watch them much, if at all. Also as for this guy speaking 29 languages, he's right even if most of them are "basic". It's his hobby and skill.

  31736. Unlike typical Chinese people, the Japanese try to stay calm and don't overreact to foreigners who speak Japanese. The reason is they think it's rude to treat foreigners like a baby who just started speaking words and expressing emotions.

  31758. Studying abroad is a wonderful experience, but not easy. By leaving abroad you not only learn a different culture, but also something about yourself, since when you leave your comfort life and you are pushed to be more independent, resilient and active. It's an experience that helps you to grow a lot!

  31766. I am a Swedish man married to a Korean woman. our daughter is 6 years old and speaks both languages ​​without any problems. Children absorb languages ​​like a dishcloth. Personally, I find it incredibly difficult to learn Korean.
    1
  31767. I’ve seen 20 year old polyglots who speak 20 languages, and 60 year old polyglots who speak 20 languages, and usually the first one is the one on YouTube, with their accents that are 🤢. I personally speak English, Russian, and rusty-Japanese, and then by the YT polyglot logic I speak Chinese, Kazakh, Spanish, and Dutch (in reality those are at a really really basic level where I can’t put two sentences together). I think it has to be said that both of you speak amazing Japanese in my opinion, like the manner in which you speak really shows how well you learned it. 僕が日本語をいっぱい忘れた、さいご毎日毎日日本語をしゃべった時が八年前だった。ヨウチエンから三年生まで東京に住んでいって勉強しました。いつも日本語のポリグロットのビデオを見る時なつかしい ~~~sorta all I have left which makes me sad but I’m not surprised 🙁😂 Any recommendations on how to de-rust-ify my Japanese?

  31777. Two of my favorite YouTubers in the same video. I was really eager to watch this one. I feel like you definitely wanted to name drop. I think when you see how much money they're making it's hard not to. Although it's really hard to really judge someone's language ability without giving them an actual test, you do get an instinct for it. And your example of talking about terrorism is pretty good. I probably would have paused a little trying to say that in Japanese and the overall complexity of the sentence likely would have resulted in a slightly weird sentence. I will say that it's easier for me to judge someone speaking Japanese or German than to judge someone's English. For English, if they just say hello how are you with confidence I'm already pretty convinced  😂

  31784. Hi Pearl, I just wanted to let you know I've been watching you for a while and I think you're on track to become one of the language goats. Especially you being female you are dominating this language aspect of videos on YouTube compared to the guys and you're really going to set a new benchmark for a lot of people ❤

  31788. Since I was a child I wanted to learn Japanese. Probably from watching the mini series "Shogun". I managed to teach myself Spanish and am now trying to teach myself Italian because I have an Italian online friend. Lately I have developed an interest in Asian languages from watching polyglots like you, Laosue, Xiaomanyc, and others. Would you suggest learning one language at a time or several?

  31792. 6 hours of study doesn't HAVE to mean sitting at your table writing or actively reading and studying it; I still consider myself to be in study mode when im just going about my day and translating things in my head as I see them. Just making sure im engaging in some way in the language im studying, is considered "study time" still imo :) as far as actively sitting at the table with a book, i only do that for about an hour each day. I have kids XD I feel pretty comfortable reading elementary level books after studying daily for 11 months now. so almost a year.

    1
  31798. This was probably the most comprehensive video on this topic that I've watched. I completely agree with all the points you made. If English were a rarer language, it would be a shock. Honestly, all the clickbait videos about 'x race speaks Japanese' just makes me more nervous for when I go to Japan myself, rather than easing it. That being said, hearing about native English speakers' experiences with learning Japanese does help more if done in the right way.

  31799. „It’s encouraging people to seek fame, money, sex“…what the actual; that guy has problems, srsly!

  31800. Congrats on getting your million subscriber wall plaque thingy! Literally brought a tear to my eye seeing that. Your place in Tokyo reminds me of my old place in Shenzhen, but yours is nicer. Right now I’m living in a tiny hut in a very remote jungle location. Quite different from what I expected my life to be… 2020 spun me around. I can’t believe it’s 2024 already and I’m still not back in Asia yet!

  31801. I envy you

  31804. I live in Houston. I am out near NASA. Until they moved two of my daughter's best friends were the children of a Japanese astronaut. Houston is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the US. I never know what language I will hear. Yesterday it was German at the grocery store. I think my ear can discern Mandarin and Japanese. I'm not sure about Japanese and Korean.

  31806. Enjoyed this video also, but can I make a suggestion? Use a brighter color for the captions when the others are speaking. Much of that green faded into the background depending on the colors it was up against. Maybe a bright blue in contrast to your white?
    1
  31807. Do you mind if I gave you a simple critic? I saw that some Chineses in the video pretend to like and interest to talk with you. I think they love you to respect them by talking fluent their language. But, I also saw that you talks continuously more than they expect... for example, They said from Shanghai, I think it will make them uncomforted by keep talking about what you know about Shanghai very much. how about try to find out more what they will inform about Shanghai and try to look excited :D.....anyway...you are absolutely so outstanding Chinese speaker.....Love it...:)

  31811. Oh, it's a definite difference in taste between any canned vs bottled softdrink; the bottled kind is almost always better. Hands down. (See, we viewers see the most important aspects of your videos! We're watching. We're paying attention. So don't drink Coke in a can if you can drink it from a bottle!)

  31825. It’s true that learning Japanese at first indeed really hard..... and I’m not even half bucket yet myself.... cause I learn most by my own and then there’s this Japanese Society which teaches us Japanese Language only once a week and not much can actually catch up on.... that’s y I’m also learning it myself ~ ☺️ ( tbh I’m only N5 btw ) almost gonna go for N4 but I don’t think I’m ready yet to upgrade to higher class

  31832. Woah, the quick switch between Chinese Japanese and English I’m— Like, my switching form English to Spanish is smooth but like, I’m still somehow not fluent in Spanish lmao so not as smooth I’m envious hah My switch from English is Chinese is just horrendous— I need to get in the zone before I can speak Chinese using good tones 😂

  31833. Yes indeed make friends. Seems women bond much quicker than men. My I suggest the Japanese retro rock-a-billys of Tokyo. Or the Japanese low rider Chicanos of Osaka/Tokyo. Either one would make for interesting/entertaining video. Be brave. ;-)
    1
  31834. What I have noticed, is the universal "pulling down" of achievers, by a very noisy group of jealous low achievers, who don't want to acknowledge other's persistence, effort, and resulting personal development and attainments. I like to quote Eleanor Roosevelt. "Great minds discuss ideas, small minds discuss people". Too easy for piety people to whine and criticise, when the big picture is simply beyond their comprehension. I'm looking forward to seeing more insights to Japan, Japan's social issuers, and your appraisals of the cultural aspects of life where you are. 👍👋

  31835. Is japanese is more hardest to learn? I mean i wanna learn to speak Japanese and chinese language too :’)
    1
  31836. I am half Thai so I am not surprised they have put you on the floor, but I am so used to my/a bed that I have troubles sleeping without. I think it is a "true" for so many large countries to leave the big city/cities to experience the real country. I've never been in the US, but when your view of the country only would be NYC, I think you will miss a lot of the beautiful country. This aside, I like the truthfullness and the honesty of the film. Personal question: "how" did you fell in love with your first Asian bf, because #prejudicefrommyside, aren't it mainly "Caucasian" people? Keep up the nice vids, I like them very much. I also try every time a go to a country, to know at least to say hello in their own language, you see that people appreciate it. Grts

Unfortunately, we've all just been reminded that the law of averages gives will give us some unhappy, hateful people. Keep annoying them by running your brilliant channel as you already are. Half a million subs, you're doing pretty damn good as many will agree! Keep the good vibes flowing! Peace and love!

  31860. hey whats up T. Not to take your words out of context here but most people living in China knew, from the bottom of their heart, that social mobilization is near impossible. If you came to Shanghai to work from the countryside, you couldn't afford anything but a cheap small rental unit, the job ain't gonna be legit since you don't have high education nor Shanghai ID card. A lot of people out here just try to survive and make a little bit more money for their kid's education. Believe or not, their kids are not even eligible to enroll in Shanghai's high schools if they aren't from there originally. For these people, every day, the purpose of life is surviving, surviving the cold-blooded metropolis, so one day their kids could come here and fit in. Like the shoe repair person said, life is hard but folks find a way.
    1
  31861. Your channel is great and yes I am subscribed! I also spend a lot of time in S.E. Asia and have not been very successful with learning or using the languages but I am naturally lazy! <y Chinese is good for an American Tourist and Thai is coming along but Japanese, Korean and Viet are nowhere in my brain!

  31864. I get where you are coming from. It's almost like how a celebrity and/or athlete probably feels everytime they go out in public. The fact is you are a UNICORN. A 1%er. There aren't many people like you walking around on this Earth. You are one of God's best creations and he loves to show you off, as people are magnetically attracted to you. Keep sharing your positivity and love with the World. I'm sure you are serving a higher purpose.

  31868. There was a good BBC doccumentsry done yrars ago by a british diplomat who was vompiling a chinese dictionsry in retirement. China was complicated by confusionism and taoism having different ways but one thing was you wete always above or below someone. AUTOMATICALLY they seek a position. If tjey know nothing they ask you age tlo defer to the older ss superiour. This seems to be the source of the self deference and humility. You may have some version of itvyourself if you come from working class Detroit. Even Bruce Springsteen had it wearing denim and giving to charity. I think you would learn from that doccumentary. Ill look for it

  31869. You treated him to just about everything Detroit has to offer I think besides Buddy's haha. I miss Yates! Though I'm triggered seeing my buckeyes losing in the background >_>

  31874. Pearl what was your nickname at school when you were a child, annoying smarty pants?. Once again a wonderful video, there is quite a difference between how the Chinese and Japanese people react I think that the Japanese are a bit more reserved, although with respect a blonde white person speaking Turkish would be surprising to me and their are actually many fair Turks with blonde hair, so only god knows how these people feel when you can speak their language so well, obviously impressed but quite weird too I would imagine.

  31880. If I look at videos of comparative linguistics I know that most linguists speak about one and a half languages. What I mean is that to really learn a language requires one to immerse oneself in a culture for a long period, (say a year+). To understand the way that languages flow and interact through geography and history requires studying too many languages, so all but a few of those studies are inevitably superficial. I think the viewer needs to know the difference between these two types of expertise and to interpret what they see accordingly. I guess there is some responsibility on you tubers, also, to be honest about what level/type of expertise they possess.
    1
  31881. Anming your videos often brings things to mind. The early History between China and Japan is of real interest. "China In The Tokaugawa World" is 20USD on Amazon. It might also be found in pdf. It is not a long read but fact filled pages that show the influence Chinese knowledge had on Japanese language, calligraphy, arts and agriculture. For you it would seem a must read. You might find it in Chinese. A Japanese friend teaches at USC and 10 years ago gave me several books for my library. If I talk/post too much tell me so.

  31897. A public Onsen was, definitely one of my more, unexpected, experiences when visiting Japan. Friends organised it and at the last minute the guy did not go in, meaning I was flying solo. Changing walking through with the tiny towel to suddenly encounter female staff was..... Unique! But the different "baths" where phenomenal and truly relaxing.

    1
  31923. Im so impressed that Matt learned japanese mostly living in the US..!! just listening to his voice without seeing him you would think he is native...Im japanese by origin and growing up in Sweden that is my other native language and english is a language spoken daily as I live abroad. Italian is the language I have spent most effort in achieving advanced level in short time and master it better than French and german which I studied for several years in school....short or longer time does not really decide but the amount of focus you put into learning it. So dozen languages are possible but not all of them in same fluency level. You can get “fluent” fairly quick but to really conquer a language it takes at least 2-3 years of really strong focus (immersion) therefore multiple languages to learn simultaneously is not efficient.

  31951. I love watching your videos. They are fun and interesting as well as funny. I have been speaking Japanese for a long time. Majored in college in International business with a minor in Japanese language and culture. I loved my time being over there in Osaka. But I had a stroke recently and lost a bunch of my language recollection when my short term memory fried. SO I use Pimsler to refresh my memory thanks to you. I also use my husband's expertise. Very American and Autistic (we both are) Over there years he has taught himself to not only speak fluent Japanese but read and write it (Type it) too. His friends in Japan didn't know he was American. lol. Sorry for the ramble my point is with Kanji even he forgets that part sometimes. If he doesn't recognise one he looks it up and then researches what goes into it and what it means then works with it until it's ingrained in his mind. lol Japanese is that enchanting of an language if you give it a chance to be.

  31967. At the core of this topic is, people don't like to feel stupid, we all think that were better than we really are.... and once people show them they are not who they are, they act out... because people that are slightly smarter than you are a threat...

  31968. Anming, this was so cute! Did you rent the bikes or was it your own bike? I left mine in Chiba, but I'm thinking about getting another one unless you recommend that bike (if it's a rental). I'd like to ride around Japan again :D

  31975. Japanese and Chinese folk always seem so nice and thoughtful. I really appreciate these personal experiences you share. On the individualism vs collectivism in a society, I tend to appreciate the former more -- but individualism certainly seems to breed more selfish jerks than collectivism does. :-(

  31978. You've fooled me too many times, Anming. You temptress. I came prepared this time. I had a full lunch before watching this. Though the youtiao and bao certainly weakened my diet resolve. however, I persevered. Ha! Liked anyways. :)

  31980. Ignore them haters. Just keep doing what your doing. You should find some other creators to do collaborations. Also you should update the mic. And get an editor. Love your videos.

  31981. Tell home girl she got a new fan! Lol I loved the beginning performance! Your videos are just delightful ☺️ ALSO! 3:25 where is this tourist spot? It’s going on my list of places I ought to visit if I get the chance! Also honestly, stick with Japan. There’s too many problems with racism, which honestly plays a huge part in why I want out.

  31986. Nice one as always. So THIS is where those darn Beyblade gyro toys stem from! I much prefer this old-school version of the game. The last two summers, kids played with Beyblades outside my apartment, and it was quite loud at times when they dropped the toys into the "arena".

  31995. This reminded me of the King of the Hill episode where while in Tokyo they spent an entire week basically in the genkan area of their hotel room not realizing that they were behind the shoji doors and just on the other side was a huge suite. Thank goodness you guys didn't have that issue. Or did you? 🤔😎

  32015. I'm born in California and grew up in L.A. There are tons of foreigners here; tourists and immigrants. They are totally accepted into society. It's not a big deal. America is a melting pot. Usually I'm the only white guy in a group of blacks or latinos or asians or Arabs or Indians, etc....I have a diverse group of friends. My last assignment in the Army was as an advisor with NATO in Bosnia. I was the only American in the building. My co-workers were Bosnian, Slovakian, Italian, Turkish, Austrian and Czechoslovakian. I learned to say good morning and thank you in their languages. They were so proud of me. LOL. I even perfected each accent.
    1
  32016. Beautiful video short but very specific to the most important moments.. thank you for sharing this awesome moment with us. 😊🤗❤️

  32017. So this is my first video of yours.. I don't know if you're in China or Japan. I can understand why they'd be super shocked if you're talking to them in perfect Chinese while you're in Japan. I imagine there would be like SOME Chinese areas in Japan right? Haha.

  32052. Very nice explanation, I'm looking forward to the Japanese version !! If you have already learned Japanese then Korean can also be learned quickly. Easy pronunciation, very easy writing system and grammar similar or the same structure as Japanese. When I started learning Korean, I first translated the sentences from English to Japanese and the replaced the Japanese words with Korean words, very quick learning.

  32061. I agree with you! my experience is that they want to have a photo with you. Time and time again. There is a little shop in Guangzhou who took a photo of me with a vinyl record I was buying and it’s his shop’s photo image on WeChat now! Never encountered negative behaviour!

  32092. You have the experienced living 100% among the Japanese people, housing, neighborhood, and everything else -- that is definately a challenge for you that I admire. For me, being stationed in Japan as a U.S. military service member during my active duty time many years ago, I lived on a U.S. military base and being on-base it is like living in an American environment, and most of the Japanese civilian working on base for many years spoke very well and have a very good command of English due to the fact they worked for the U.S. military in Japan. The U.S. military service members bring their spouses and children to Japan, in fact there is an American school system (U.S. accredited) from kindergarten all up through high school on-base and the education system is run by the U.S. Department of Defense School System which hires American teachers from the U.S. I could go off-base, and experience the Japanese culture and everything else, so it was not a challenge for me to learn Japanese that well and knowing that I have to go back on-base in an American environment -- it is like being in an American town or city. All U.S. military personnel and the bases are under the United States Forces Japan -- there are about 88 U.S. military bases in Japan. There are approximately 50,000 U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan, along with approximately 40,000 dependents of U.S. military personnel and another 5,500 American civilians employed there by the United States Department of Defense. I enjoyed your videos and thanks for sharing. Your videos brings me back all the wonderful memories of Japan.
    1
  32093. Dear Anming, what pleasureful entertainment your videos are. Thank you very much. They are such a good demonstration that communication brings people together. In war, soldiers send out a communication too, with their bullets. Would they instead communicate with words, they would not kill each other. Communication is the universal solvent. Peace on earth is created by bright beings like you who show that communication is important, and thus affinity and reality are enhanced and as a result there is understanding.

  32094. please can someone give me tips to start learning japanese?

  32111. Australia is the same with the toilet paper. There's a meme going around of three idiots wrapped head to toe in toilet paper like mummies with the tag line 'This is how Australians protect themselves from Coronavirus.' The media needs to take responsibility for this freaking circus. More people die every year from the FLU people. Calm the fuck down. I'm glad you get to stay in Japan btw, that would have been rather stressful and scary.

  32112. Great content as always! It would be interesting to hear you talking about college and the international relations degree in China and Japan. (Sorry for any English mistakes... and Hi from Brazil ;))

  32122. "Your fly is undone (open)." in Japanese will be 「(前の)チャックが 、開いているよ」or 「社会の窓が、開いていますよ」. " 社会の窓"(shakainomado) is a insinuating way of expressing pants zipper, often used Showa Period. I found some young Japanese don't know this word.

    1
  32136. Great fun to watch as always! One thing, i appreciate "Staff:" etc. in front of the subtitles, but the red and white background is a bit distracting and covering a good part of the video. It might be better to just use e.g. a black font with a yellow outline for what you say, and a black font with a white outline for what they say. This is a direct, self-explanatory visual clue, with no need for extra text or a solid color background. It will be readable over bright and dark backgrounds and it will be clear who said what.

  32149. How did you do to live when you first arrived in China? Was your house paid by your parents or your economy the time you find a job? And was it hard to find a job at the beginning? I mean all the project of going across the world seems so great and enriching but it seems so strange, so mysterious it easily scares people and I m one of those people.

  32157. Hi Anming,I have a question for you. I'm learning Japanese for almost a month now and I'm only using an app. Do you think that l should buy a textbook or something similar? Would be really nice,if you could answer this question 🙂😅

  32161. To get multiple languages mixed up in my head......I first have to know mutiple languages! :-). And when you say it's just as easy to learn multiple languages as an adult..Adult as in what age?.....18..or my age in my 50's.?....Because I don't think that's true for my age...Head already full of so much useless stuff now there's no room for anything new. What space is left is a little leaky..so doesn't hold new info to well.

  32170. Aww love your video and your Japanese dress is beautiful. You and Tommy are a cute couple. So glad your mom and step dad were able to visit. I’m glad Japan has reopened. Maybe I’ll get to visit there next year. I hope tommy enjoys Michigan. I’m in Michigan as well. Take him up north.

I am learning German and indeed it's very much helping me in "living-room" conversation like what's in your video. And in turn, the brother from my husband and my niece trying to speak English and bahasa to me. That's really sweet from them ❤️ even my niece showed me her English exams' result (she is elementary student)

  32193. That Mandarin 'r' was tough for me to get right. I think 'r' is frequently a source of frustration when learning a new language. French r vs Spanish r vs English r, etc When said without context, I still have trouble distinguishing 側 from 次 (as spoken in Taiwan), for example. 車 vs 吃 as well, I'd have to really pay attention.

  32210. Excellent and entertaining information! Although my emigration to Japan is to coincide with semi-retirement to concentrate on music, my career is in marketing (specifically digital marketing and web analytics). It's interesting to get a glimpse into that field in my country-to-be. I don't really expect to work in marketing over there, especially on an hours-restricted student visa at first, but you never know! OT: it was cool to see you do another video with Lisa13. She's one of the most open and friendly people I've met in my previous Japan travels (along with MiL/BBB bassist NaluchaRos). Things are blowing up a bit for her band(s), and it couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

  32215. Socks with sandals...Maybe a little like wearing a mask? After walking around, your feet might collect things you don't want to bring home, Although, I have seen some videos, showing places that have foot baths. Maybe just the capsule hotels...That is something we don't have here in the states.

  32225. I speak fluent Spanish (can imitate several accents convincingly), relatively good English and Italian (specially the phonetics, I am a freak about imitating voices and foreign languages) but I will never call myself a polyglot as I believe a true polyglot is one that acquires LITERACY (spoken and written) in said claimed language, not basic proficiency... this is, being able to think and improvise using the language as native speakers do, that's the trap because doing so in Aymara, Amharic or any other obscure language is really hard to achieve if you are one of those people that believe in course books and cookie-cut paths, same with difficult languages as German, Russian (educated Russian is incredibly difficult), Japanese or Turkish (Turkish is renown for its suffix system). All this requires a self mastery to understand the semantics of each language as they approach to concepts and reality differently. I myself can attest that Italian as simple as it looks is a real difficult language, Italians use an extensive repertory of rhetoric devices and nuances of tone to convey meaning and this is something no one teaches you, over time you learn that the seemingly easy language is just the beginning to a high and sophisticated poetic system that is fundamental to be a good communicator within the Italian culture.

  32234. Very nice to see the REAL JAPANESE LIFE
    1
  32235. I do get your point, but what would you call these people? If they’re not polyglots. Even if they’re not fluent or even proficient, even being able to have a basic conversation in another language would put them in the “able to speak x language” right? I think the issue is them saying they are 100% fluent/native level if they’re not. But are they saying that?

  32240. Hey Anming. I'm sorry to hear you are going thru these scams. Those people are scum and don't deserve to look at your pretty face. By the way. Glad you are not using the purple monster anymore. Take it easy :-)

  32241. Everyone who disliked the videos because of the reasons the “traditional polyglot” people names, please be quiet and focus on you own boring life, let things that interesting like they are thanks, from a German learning Japanese 🤌

  32243. My guess you failed the Spanish probably because you did not have a Spanish boyfriend at the time :-)........btw, my ex-girlfriend she was English/American and she was studying in Beijing (my hometown) pursuing PhD, she wanted to live in Beijing while I was just about finishing my PhD and found a job there and I wished to work there for several years to gain experience, but she couldn't wait and we split up....... Have you managed to move back to China ?

  32248.  @OrientalPearl  you can absolutely ship violins from China. For a personal item valued over something like RMB 13,000 you need customs paperwork. Find a reputable agent who can do customs, freight forwarding, fragiles packaging, and insurance. It will cost a lot though.

  32253. I'm genuinely interested in how you were able to learn to speak Chinese so fluently and with a terrific pronunciation too! I've lived in Japan for 15 years and still am at an intermediate level with my Japanese. I really want to pick up Chinese since I'm half Chinese so any tips would be super helpful. Thank you!! :)

  32257. It's an immediate ice-breaker if you can speak the other person's language, even just a little. It doesn't take a lot of effort really, and it's a huge sign of recognition. You're on their ground, and it's a show of respect.
    1
  32258. Thanks!! I hope you make another video with her again. I had a question for you, if you don't mind. My question is... Do you earn enough money from YouTube to pay for your expenses in Japan? I hope you can get back to China soon or your boyfriend can get back to Japan. I'm in New Hampshire and I haven't seen a single Canadian license plate the entire summer. I usually see eat least a dozen a day. My friend here can't see his daughter who lives across the border. It's very strange.

  32261. I started learning Japanese a few months ago and youtube has been a big help. Honestly without it I wouldn't have even tried. In America if English is your first language very few speak a second. Not only do they not but a large portion are against the concept of speaking another language. Like "why would you want to learn that?" Like learning is a negative. Unless you're going to make money from it what's the point? What you're doing is normalizing learning languages and I appreciate it.

  32262. Hallo Oriental Pearl. Ich habe mich gewundert, Wie ist dein Deutsch?

  32263. I love your videos. Sending hugs! ❤️
    1
  32264. Lol I went to Japan for the 1st time last summer, not fluent in Japanese, but I already know basic Korean. I managed by using English, basic words in Japanese and translation apps on my phone where you speak and it translates. Many stores as well as at the stations they had similar devices if English... very helpful.
    1
  32265. What if people reply to you in English when you speak to them in Japanese? Does that mean anything? What do you do when that happens?

  32266. Did he say in 2:12 “iyi, iyi, chok iyi”? That literally means good, good, very good in Turkish.

  32271. Harbin has a historical connection with Russia. In the early 20th century the Russians build a Russian Chinese railway through Siberia to Harbin. I suppose you have seen the Russian Orthodox Church in Harbin? Harbin had a lot of international embassies. It was a diplomatic hub in Northern China.
    1
  32272. Very sweet to share! Hopefully later u both can do something special for family that could not come. ☺️. Remember that marriage is about love but it’s also a life partnership! Maybe they are both the same right? Haha! I am little older than you guys! 😉. 28 years married! 🙏🏼🎌✌🏼

  32273. I am working on learning 2 languages at the moment. Not for clout or anything like that but because i love languages. I'm Swedish native and know english quite well. Learning Spanish because of my dad having an apartment in Palma de Mallorca. But my "Flex" is that i'm studying Korean since about a year. Started as pandemic boredom turned into loving the language and culture. 😍
    1
  32274. In Taiwan I've come across many people who just came up to me and wanted to take pictures with me and as an introverted person that was just... strange...? But also quite nice because I didn't have to make the first move to talk with people and it was always very nice and fun talking to them anyways. I'm half-Taiwanese so I do speak Mandarin fluently which makes it even funnier when those people don't expect it from me😆

  32275. Such a beautiful bride!

  32276. Not shock at all. We live in Dog eat Dog world. Some people use crack of the law to eat another. Some people sacrificing another for they own Profit. This world to dangerous for innocent and impulsive person. Stay aware. Stay safe. Good luck
    1
  32277. I used HelloTalk to practice Spanish and I still talk to some people today after a year! It's really kind of a flip of the card with that app (at least in my experience) because at times it may be hard to find a language partner that will go beyond "Hello, How are you?" "Good, and you?" But if you become that person that asks more questions and is engaging it will probably encourage them (hopefully) to do the same! Otherwise I may recommend HelloTalk as well😌😌 May God be with you on your language learning journey and in your life!! Japanese is the next language I would like to learn! 😁

  32311. Honestly it is quite interesting seeing what office life is in a Japanese company. I would definitely be interested in that kind of series - especially seeing how sonkeigo examples in live , like you had shown a bit in this video (generally a keigo vs casual Japanese video would be interesting I think)
    1
  32312. I really enjoyed this video. Fun restaurant ( although Wang seemed a bit miserable). I also found the caves and the town history with the tsunami fascinating. We can only imagine the horrors of that time with so many fatalities. Glad you wore the safety helmet and had sensible shoes and clothing! Keep safe and take care :)

  32316. I like your channel mostly for the prank vids lol...I think it gives some ppl some type of smiles when you see the relation of ppl seeing a foreign person speak their native language...idk for me in a sense for me if someone learn my language and they are foreign? I’ll feel happy...becuz for someone to take interest in my culture I feel like I’m connected to them in a humble level..no one asked them to learn but when they tried...I appreciate it very much!!😊😊 plus ur reviews on spots out there are pretty cool

  32317. @ 1:14 You can tell by that guy's body language that he is stressed - he has never seen a Westerner speaking Chinese. Haha. One thing I noticed about Anming is her impeccable sense of timing. This is something you can't learn by going to college or reading a book - it is a very subtle skill.

  32320. I worked 5 years in Asia and in the Middle East, some days were very difficult, morale was not always there. With hindsight I deeply think that this experience allowed me to develop my instinc and to have more respect for my condition/situation. This kind of way is a path full of paradoxes that allow us to discover who we are, we will reap the rewards years later. Thank you for your feedback.

  32322. Love your little setup for the kids!!! And wow that indoor BBQ! I'm super jealous and hungry now! Hey i have just one question for you, Anming? Do you want to build a snowman? Come on, let's go and play! I never see you anymore Come out the door Its like you gone away..... Hahaha yes quarantine madness has hit!

  32329. Not Chinese related but.... I learned Spanish, because of work, on my own in about a year. At least I was pretty decent with it. Now, While I forgot a lot of it, I can still understand "ok" but have to think more about what I'm hearing/reading than I did when I was at my best. "Use it or lose it" Working on learning Kanji over the past year and signed up for JapanesePod101 a couple days ago to give that a try. I'm slow. "Life" and all doesn't help with studies but I still work on it here and there. Take care, Anming. Enjoy your holiday season.

  32334. Thank you so much for making such a valuable video denoucing the serious social problems of the country. Only by raising awareness to social injustice and other issues in any country can we stand some chance of making a better world, it's not a matter of destructive criticism but actually of uncovering the deep wounds of any society worlwide so their healing can be attempted.

  32348. The problem: Japanese food is GREAT....OUTSTANDING. But...Chinese food in Japan, the few times I tried it...was "number 10!"
    1
  32349. Nothing wrong with this of course but the "can you approach girls/talk to girls" titles entirely imply 'with romantic interest'. Guys have a harder time talking to girls because the approach is immediately perceived as romantic interest. Women are typically more receptive of other women approaching because it typically is not with romantic interest. If you as a woman do approach other women to express interest, then yeah, it's likely about as difficult as it is for men (depending on their culture).

  32350. Your just fun to watch, you seem to be happy and that’s what makes me watch. Spread smiles and laughter wherever you’re at 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤠🤙

  32354. As an EFL teacher, I get extremely frustrated with some new learners who have unrealistic expectations based on ridiculous YouTube and TicToc videos. I often meet false beginners expecting to master English after taking a one month course because they heard some influencer said it’s possible. 🤦🏻‍♂️
    1
  32355. The first thing that struck me was that the streets look so clean and organised. Maybe that's because it's a nice neighbourhood, or is it like that in general?
    1
  32356. Just COOL AS hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    1
  32357. @OrientalPearl, a very good video, as I liked the real Coke in a glass bottle (w/the original design from the 70's, as REAL Coca-cola is made from pure sugar), the rock-throwing wish cliffs, and cow tongue is really good - as I had some there w/teriyaki sauce)...and you should try ox tails some day...ummmm. And not sure if you ate at KFC, but I just had some last week, for the first time in a year and a half. Anyway, still a good video as you show versatility with your friends but I can see that you have a lot of fun. :-)

  32361. I went to Japan to see my friend that I talked to online for 2 years and I went to see him I asked were he lived so he told me Japan and I when I got on the bus there were little kids everywhere but it was so beautiful and pretty and uhh so nice there so a lot of kids asked me stuff but I didn't know what they were saying but that day I was amazing
    1
  32362. I never would have expected to see KFC in Japan. Do they have Popeye's?

  32363. That was intense!

  32364. This video made me remind myself in my home country (Ecuador) as an 8 years old randomly asking american tourists "what's your name?" because that was one of the few english phrases I knew back then

  32368. Your EX friend not showing up is a big loss for HIM. On a brighter note that green tea ice cream made my mouth water and the music you used for the dog gift store made me laugh. Thanks for another great video...

  32369. absolutely amazing!!

  32372. I can speak 3 language (communication level) but really fluent only my mother language I always have something to learn
    1
  32373. i do research on asian music and theater, so it's very important for me to learn the language associated with whatever tradition i'm studying. right now i'm studying chinese for the hsk exam, but in the future i plan on perfecting my korean and japanese to an advanced level. i think i need an advanced level because i want to read books and articles, and watch documentaries, lectures, and also understand song's lyrics. right now i'm studying chinese for the hsk 5, i think i'm around intermediate-advanced level. i can't understand many kinds of chinese opera, because they are in local dialects, and the phonetics is very different. fortunately, every performance comes with subtitles, so it's possible to know what is the subject. i have studied other asian languages in the past, but not to the same level that is my chinese right now. i think now i have a clear understanding of the whole process of language learnign, from basic to advanced, and i plan on applying this experience to study other languages which interest me, like japanese, korean, sanskrit, thai, vietnamese, etc. it's important to notice that some languages are hard to learn simply for lack of resources. even though chinese is pretty hard, it's much easier to study it by yourself than, let's say, burmese, because there's a shortage of burmese resources. actually, in order to learn tibetan or burmese, i think i have to first master chinese, and then search for chinese resources that teach tibetan or burmese, because english resources are very limited. if i want to learn khmer, i'd probably have to master thai first, because of the geographical and cultural proximity between thailand and cambodia. i want to learn all the official languages from east and southeast asia, so let's say, i want to learn mandarin, cantonese, japanese, korean, thai, vietnamese, tibetan, burmese, khmer, laotian, indonesian, malaysian and tagalog. that will take many years, i can't make a video on youtube tomorrow and say 'i speak 18 languages' (by adding fluency in portuguese and english, and some familiarity with sanskrit, bengali and hindi), things don't work that way...
    1
  32374. I think it's a worldwide stereotype that rural people are rude and ignorant. I myself have found that rural areas are where you find the MOST friendly and respectful people, whereas big cities are filled with very rude and angry people.

  32375. That 's where I was born Guam.

  32376. Thanks for the video. It looks so nice and warm there. It’s only 4c here in Canada 🇨🇦. But for the next few days it will be going to 12c, heat wave, for this time of year. Lol.

  32381. Imagine just getting to move some place where you automatically stand out and feel special by default. I wanted to go to asia to teach english but got told because I am asian american, unless I spoke both langauges REALLY well I would not get chosen because Chinese and Japanese people want to practice speaking to a white person. Especially at the higher class schools. I was jealous of my white friends who didn't speak any chinese, or japanese that were able to easily get jobs teaching english in asia.

  32387. I was a Chinese teacher in US for two years, that's a beautiful memory too. Kids are innocent and pure.
    1
  32388. Unfortunately the US does not have dual citizenship. I've found this out with my husband. He became a US citizen after all we thought he could keep his citizenship from Asia but we were informed that's not the case. USCIS told him he had to pick which it was going to be. Since his new job requires citizenship in the US he made that decision based on that. I could see he was sad about losing his citizenship from his country but he really wanted the new job here in the States too.
    1
  32389. I grew up in the united states with two of my best friends being chinese, and I always thought it was such a cute language. I'm learning japanese right now, but I would be so interested in learning chinese next. I know you have probably answered it in one of your videos, and hopefully i will stumble accross it, but did you pick up learning other languages from a younger age? Or did you just decide to learn one day.

  32407. Yes, I did always wonder why Japanese people “back channeled,” is that what you called it? I suspected it was cultural. Thank you for explaining that ☺️. Oh, I also wasn’t aware about looking people straight in their eyes. Thanks for clearing that up as well 👍. Very informative video 😃.

  32419. Maybe it was a tad (Creepy), I think the lady was probably just more curious about you, but when you make it in slow motion it makes it more extreme. LOL. cool vids though. I have a friend whos mother was from India, and his Father was Guatamalan. (please excuse the spelling) Any way he could speak Hindi, and Mexican Spanish. He looks Mexican and not Indian at all. He goes into a local Hookah store (Bong Shop) The owner is Indian, (India not Native American) He is making some kind of Illicit deal on the phone in Hindi. My friend listens for a bit and then tells him in Hindi (You should be careful about what you are talking about on the Phone, and just not assume that people dont know what you are talking about) LOL, it scared the hell out of the man. I know bot parties well, so I got a good ass laugh out of it. anyway, cool video's. Stay Safe in these times.

  32423. This reminde me a little of the old black and white British or American war films where the Japanese generals would give nothing away to their enemy always stoic proud but with hardly any emotion apart from that of anger when annoyed, well that is how they were portrayed anyway. For me it is very surprising to see the lack of even a comment that a foreigner speaks their language. I would not be wanting them to jump up and down or look dumb struck but a small well done on learning our language would be nice. Different cultures different ways eh, this actually proves very much that the way most western cultures look at people of asia was quite racist ie they are definitely not alike .

  32424. Im in love with the way you speak. Love from Nepal.

  32425. Congratulations on your beautiful day! We have travelled to Japan a few times and love everything about your country, culture and the food! Thoroughly enjoy your videos on your channel.

  32430. Do you incorporate pitch accent into your Japanese studies? Seems like a lot to juggle along with grammer, kanji, vocab, immersion etc etc.

  32438. Yep, we all make mistakes. The important part is to learn and grow from them.
    1
  32439. Something I've learned about bullies: They are sad, insecure & lonely people who feel they must compete with humanity to earn their place in the world. So they hate & make enemies. Often they go after popular people. Both of you are very attractive, smart & skilled so bullies are quick to attack you for that. Remember when bullies go after you it's because they really sense you are better than them. They want to bring you down to their level. They want to share their misery with you. Ignore them. Most of them will grow out of it when they're adults. A few never do. If they want your attention make them earn it. No one deserves to be bullied.

  32440. Definitely congratulate you for being brave living in Tokyo I can’t stand living there. I prefer to be in the countryside or at least a midsize city. It’s too stressful and demanding for me to live in Tokyo.

I used to be really jealous of people who both of their parents could speak different languages but not anymore. All is a matter of time and hard work. 本当にありがとうございます。頑張ります！

  32468. "There is no rule against it" is probably the most reflective thing to say about Japan. In America, you know there are rules, because SOMEONE did something stupid, but this is like the opposite situation.

  32470. I've been thinking about learning Japanese I sometimes work with people from japan and even with the language barrier kinda became friends with a guy whats the hardest thing to learn it looks like its going to be the writen language and tbh I'm kinda intimated by it .how long did it take for you to learn the language or whats the estimated time I don't know where to look for stuff like this so I've been asking around youtube

  32476. i hear some changes in your accent in English. I mean i don't know you, but it seems a bit off. Of course this is not a bad thing. I am Hungarian living in the US, i have been here for 10 years and my friends and family from Hungary are picking up on my accent changing. Its amazing you learned Chines and Japanese, I like language nerds :) I've always wanted to lean Japanese, but my main focus now is Spanish and German. Stay safe!

  32485. I liked the Duolingo Chinese course for the first 300-450ish words to introduce me to the basic sounds and sentence structure. After that, I used anki to brute force my way to ~900 words, and since then, I've mostly read short stories and listened to speech and music for practice. I desperately need speaking practice, but since quarantine, I am rarely home alone, and i don't particularly want to practice in front of family. I think the gamified apps can be a great way to start a language as long as you also set aside just a little time to learn the basics of the language (script, new sounds, basic grammar, etc.).

  32489. This is, as they say, where the rubber meets the road. Great to see the reaction videos, but clearly this is a whole different kind of Japanese language experience. Wonder if there would be similar challenges working for a Chinese company. Definitely like to see more in this series, with maybe a lesson on the politeness levels. Thx.

  32496. I suggest you change the format of your subtitles. They're too.. invasive. Just put them at the bottom in white, smaller font, clear to read. The flag at the bottom right is too big as well, for my taste.

  32497. There are some that seem to think that Annming is some type of secret foreign agent, they have no chance of getting away with talking about you. The only outcome of these brief encounters is people being stunned and amazed at how accomplished you truly are. Their reactions are priceless, even if someone was saying something not quite complimentary, it's that old thing that if they're talking about you they are leaving someone else alone. I'm sure most have nothing but the highest respect for you. You really do have such a kind hearted aura about you.

  32500. ha haa. i know it sounds funny, but when they flake with a flamboyant lie like raining. your actually not supposed to say its not raining. i only know cause it happens to me too. now the weird part is that they do this quite often after inviting themselves. the weirder part is that they could make up any lie, but they choose one that you know is a lie, so that you will know. then next week theyll ask if they can go with you someplace and do it again. i havnt figured it all out but its part fear and part a desire to be controlled. and... they dont want you to say "where would you like to meet" or "where would you like to go". that will scare the shit out of them. they want to be told.

  32517. Recently on YouTube Spain you can see ads for a supposed language academy where they assure you that in just eight months you can speak the language you want, and the founder of the academy is a kind of guru who claims to speak eight languages at a native level . Another Spanish youtuber who is dedicated to uncovering scams exposed him to the country, it is a very shady case. I had no clue that this type of scams on YouTube was a matter that reached so far all over the world.

  32538. I would say it's borderline impossible to reach super high levels of fluency in more than maybe 3-5 just out of the sheer amount of time it takes no matter how smart or how many "hacks" you use. It's obvious that most of these polyglots only know a few stock phrases that they use to impress people.

I know a few words in Spanish, Portuguese and German, but my brain (for some reason) won't let me put a coherent sentence together. I generally find a smile, the few words I do know and a lot of pointing and gestures help ;-)

  32562. Well... my father is Japanese and my mother from America. I am a halfu. My father was always grateful that I am a child of both different worlds because it is one of the unique things not many can say in Japan.

The fact that there are people out there who would negatively comment on any YouTube video, or try to scam people, is just sad. I hope their lives improve so they will stop doing those activities.

  32572. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? If you have been traveling China and Japan for years then what kind of job do u have/how to u make money? I am VERY TRULY CURIOUS. MAINLY...because i have been slowly saving up money to go to Japan for a few months, and visit South Korea for a week or two also. And i would LOVE to actually live there for a few years(or the rest of my life...). I have a young son who is 7yo. And i am not with his father(he doesnt see him much at all). So my son WILL be going with me. I plan on going there in the next 1-2 years. I want to make sure i have enough(A LOT of) money without worries at all. I would LOVE to know what u do for a living, and if u have any suggestions for working in Japan as an American trying to live there for 1 year or more. Ive ONLY visited Japan ONCE, 8 years ago for 2 weeks. And it was seriously the most amazing time of my life. The ONLY way it could have been btr is if i went AFTER i had my son. (Cause he makes EVERYTHING btr.) Idk if work history or education would help AT ALL. I have a history in Childcare as a Daycare Teacher, and Nanny with multiple childcare certificates. Retail, and retail supervisor. Cleaning and maid work. AND i went to college for Aesthetics(skincare, makeup, facials, etc). I also currently Homeschool my son. SO because i do that and i was the lead teacher in the kindergarten class at the daycare and it was my job to teach basic english, math and science... I am very good at teaching. (I really enjoy Kids, Teaching people, Caring for people, and Skincare.) I think ur awesome, beautiful, and i def envy your life a bit. Ur channel is great i just found u today. So ANY help i would GREATLY appreciate! I REALLY hope u reply one day!😊😊😊🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🙏🙏

  32588. Don't worry, haters gonna hate. Some points that might be helpful for someone: -Like you said, 2FA is really important so everybody just activate it.( If you are serious, you can try authy or security keys like yubikey) -Try to use a password manager so every website will have a different complicated password. -Always be cautious while opening emails, you can check the url down in your browser by having the mouse pointer on top of the link or right click and copy link and paste it on notepad. -if you are worry about malware you can install a virtual machine(you can have snapshots of the pc state) and use it to open those kind of things and then revert it so anything that could be downloaded or installed it wouldn't be there anymore. -if your PC got hacked and you are worry of turning up the pc. google for Ubuntu or any Linux distro, use a good pc to burn the file in an usb and put that usb on the hacked laptop and boot Linux with it. That way you can get all your files without worry of the Trojans o virus or whatever (most of them are for Windows SO). After you copy your data just wipe the HDD. -Always check the url name and look for any misspelling. It looks like what you got was a Trojan, they can control your PC, see all what you see, transfer file and get a log of all the keys you have pressed. So change all your account passwords. About the hate thing, people are always looking for a chance to mess with other people. I have seen people hating someone's video without actually watching it and then the creator commenter and the people that were hating were like "oh sorry I just saw it and your pronunciation is perfect blah blah" . About the thing between Taiwan and China I don't understand completely but Chinese have a really big opinion in that matter 😅

  32626. Oh, cool vid, Pearl. On TV here in the states, there was (and may be still is) a popular Disney anime cartoon in which the theme is about these kids going from place to place to compete in what looks very, very similar to the stone-spinning you featured; but the kids are using these robotic toys...or something. I don't know. And, of course, there's all the adventures behind the main story. Hey, thanks for the vid! UPDATE: AND THE TRUTH COMES OUT! Pearl's all hangin in the bars, rapping Japanese..."Sup, my brothas!" (I can only imagine!). Just kidding ya, Pearl.

  32649. Wow this video just randomly popped up and it made me miss Kyudo…🥲 Kyudo is not just one of sports it’s budo and it’s called standing zen, that’s what I like about it. If you became interested in Kyudo watch anime called “Tsurune” from Kyoto animation. Usually Kyudo is drawn terribly wrong way but Kyoto animation does the job right.

  32650. Really good show! ✌️

  32651. Thanks very much for the effort you put in, in making this video. I appreciate it because i have a goal to live in Japan so learning Japanese is not easy. And was in Shinjuku last year!

  32654. Are you a native speaker of Japanese? It seems like they understand you well? Why would they ever turn their head when they hear you speaking? Is that because of the accent which sounds strange?

  32662. The thing I don't like about youtube polyglots is that a lot of them only learn couple hundred words to be fluent is. Conversation is nice, but it gives false image of what it means to know a language. There are few youtubers, like Oriental Pearl, that I am more sure they can comprehend a wide array of content because they studied them for so long, but I don't believe those 10+ language polyglots are able to read a newspaper.

  32677. Here in Florida there is a lot of bamboo growing (from people randomly planting it, plus we have beautiful Japanese gardens here as well). Even though I see it often, every time I see it I get super excited. It's just super calming and beautiful to look at.

  32678. If your friend continues her education in collage, she can extend her duel citizenship and not have to choose at 18. That's the only loop hole I can think of. I was born in Bremerhaven, Germany and had to choose US citizenship because I couldn't afford to study abroad.
    1
  32679. I would have not been so polite with that tour guide like your friend! I would have definitely spoken my mind! So sorry you had to go through that nonsense.
    1
  32680. Haha "Your face is so small" - I've heard of someone being in Japan and a Japanese guy coming up and saying point blank, "Your face is so small" it makes me think of the old-time MAD Magazine comics where one artist used to like drawing big, Irish I guess, guys with a very small face on a large head (on an even larger body).

  32681. good video

  32692. Anming, when you learn a new language on Pimsleur, do you do all of the other activities as well as the speaking lessons? Or do you focus more on the speaking parts (the main lessons)? Also, how many lessons do you go through before you are fluent and/or conversational? I have completed 3 of the Pimsleur Japanese courses and have learned quite a bit, but I am wanting to become fluent and conversational. Any assistance you can provide would be apprecated!

  32701. Mannn. Are there really people saying it’s hard to be friends with Japanese? Cause when i was in my 1st year of Med, i had a classmate who’s Japanese, i was so polite in talking to her then she was like so chill and a bit crazy rplying to me like to the point, we just both laughed and we got to be friends, she was a bit crazy in a humorous way ofc, and really nice too. Sadly she transferred school the next year

  32721. Love your videos. Would you consider learning Cantonese too?
    1
  32722. One could not ask for more. Your vlogs are not only both entertaining and educational but also leave a positive impression on the viewers (provided they are healthy psychologically). I always give it a like before watching. I think YouTube algorithm does not recommend them often as happened with Pranks. The youtubers who have built a huge fan base never done that through vlogs but through something else like Pranks or any other types of startling vids. After that, they move on to do vlogs because now they have a huge fans who already know the Youtuber through the “startling viral vids” and then they are likely to wanting to know about her/him. This is very sad state. Just give it some time. The more subscribers you have, the more likely there would be a portion of them that would enjoy watching vlogs. Hence, the vids would reach out much more number of viewers who are interested in this kind of vlogs.

I live in Norway, have a heart for Korea!

  32748. You are doing great videos. Both fun and interesting. Thank you 👍

  32749. Yes, and the additional illusion of fluency is created by the "polyglots" by simply reading their prepared text : I mean, it looks like they are speaking to the camera, but in reality they are just reading. And I admit, one needs to know the language a bit to do that, but it's not near being fluent. ( Btw. I would be able to do that in Swedish, Russian and German, languages that I nearly forgot, but know enough to read fluently for the camera. Not that it matters, but if anyone is wondering: my native language is Polish, and the only language that I consider myself speaking fluently right now is English, because I have been living in the United States for the past twenty five years...).

  32756. Body language is so important and eye contact is everything in determining whether the other person is willing to engage in a conversation. Never easy for me but once I get started so worth it. Hard to do in California where the streets are empty and shops shuttered.
    1
  32757. Writing (and reading) in Chinese is so difficult. You need to remember all these characters.

  32758. Hahahaha nice. A different flavor from your typical video.🤠🤠Hope 2 see you collab more with other video stars.😆😆

  32760. 16:54 tbh I don't watch this channel for the reactions, I watch it for the adventure and conversations. But of course not many others look for that on YouTube, which equals less views.. it's a shame to know how much more content we are missing
    1
  32761. $380 consider very very cheap. I guess it also depend of the location. Is it close to subway/ train station? Is it a safe neighborhood? You are very smart to study Japanese & Chinese all oversea. Chinese is the most useful language to learn. I wish I could do that when I was young. Wish you all the best. :")

  32765. That young lady sure is a colorful character. Is she still in school or working? Is that an acceptable way to dress in Japan for work?

  32770. Hearing speak you Chinese (not sure if it Cantonese or Mandarin) and Japanese is amazing! Everyone looks so stunned. Reminds me of when I speak spanish to people. I’m half Japanese and half Peruvian born and raised in NYC. I have family in Japan been a few times to visit, but sadly I don’t speak a lick of Nihongo 😭.

  32777. Do yall even understand how hard it is too learn Chinese language like Cantonese or Mandarin for Mandarin is set for of 4 tones and for Cantonese its 9 to speak at 9 to 12 to master it Girl is awsome

  32778. Too fast Anming.. too faastttt.. 🤣 nevermind, it's ok hhaha
    1
  32779. Just a note, because it's a pet peeve of mine. The whole saying kind of changes the entire idea, and it's "A jack of all trades, and a master of none, is still better than a master of one." Now, it isn't talking about people who know how to do a number of things poorly, but how to do them well. So, why anyone would learn how to do a whole lot of things poorly is beyond my understanding. I do move on from one thing to another, but I don't start another thing, or I don't give up on a thing, until I am good at a thing. It's okay to move on from thing to thing, but don't make it harder on yourself, immerse yourself in the thing you want to learn until you are not a n00b anymore, and don't make easy mistakes. I don't know enough in any language to hold a conversation in any language other than English, but I know when someone is speaking German, vs. Dutch, Japanese vs. Korean, Spanish vs. Portuguese. At some point I hope to be able to hold a conversation in a language other than English, but that time isn't right now, because I am too OCD.

  32812. it sounds like the older people/boomers really do not understand that they had it good 50-60 years ago when the economy was booming. and it seems to be the way for a lot of countries' elderly populations, it's like they don't understand that culture can change and the economy will change when they retire and that the younger people now have to support an exponential increase in old retired people to keep the country afloat.

  32826. A homogeneous country of islands with a long history of isolation, combined with few outsiders learning fluent Japanese in both grammar and accent. What else could be, but surprise and even non-acceptance? Not like many countries with large established immigrant populations. I saw a similar disbelief in Iceland with fluent non-Icelandic. If not from an Icelandic family historically, you are not Icelandic. You may be fluent, be well-liked, very habituated to local custom and habit. But Icelandic? No. So the reactions to this fellow are actually natural and predictable. I know a half-Japanese fellow who is an accomplished Kabuki theater player and director. He looks Japanese to Americans. But not quite Japanese to full Japanese. We have some of this confusion with Jews whose ancestors lived in exilic communities in central and east Asia, but who are themselves Western Asian Israelis. But Japanese isolation and homogeneity explains much. As in Iceland. Islands and isolation. The daily challenges are very touching, and I feel for him. Don't imagine that will change. I wish him good fortune and a happy life despite the identity problems! Cheers from Israel

  32828. I personally love these videos. As someone who grew up in the U.S. and only knows English, I find it fascinating people who speak multiple languages. It makes me want to learn. I think people who criticize these videos are just being haters and need some content.

  32830. I really loved Japan and Tokyo when I visited in the past. My only gripe is that they use so much excessive packaging for everything! Everything is individually wrapped and so much plastic trash is produced. It's been like that for a long time and it really irks me.

  32856. I have always been skeptical of "polyglots" that speak 20 languages. Languages are cultural and idiom is important but often lost. I do like the "reveal" clips where the American will begin a conversation with a native speaker and suddenly break out in that person's language. That can be fun but this person then does this loud laugh or cackle which I consider annoying and rude. How can he be sure that an inappropriately timed loud cackle may not be demeaning?

  32877. I love seeing all the places you visit while you are in Japan! you should visit an area named Kashiwa (Kashiwa Shi) if you've never been in the area it is a very quiet location very good for strolling and looking around, lots of drink vending machines and a plenty of locations for food/ Shopping! weather or not you see the place I figured it wouldn't hurt to mention it, love seeing the videos, you're the only one getting me through college so please keep up the videos!!

  32891. I taught in China also, 1250 kids per week. In my opinion they want the kids to be "entertained" rather than "taught", so a teacher has to come up with ever more innovative 'games' since "hangman" gets tiresome. The kids are rowdy and you do get assigned a Chinese student monitor who dishes out the discipline to keep order, but it barely works. The boys like to show- off for the girls. Making them 'stand' at their desk is all the monitor can do. Your personality type is soft and not made for the rough & tumble of the corporate world. It's like you need a husband to handle that. It is difficult to say what kind of career a person should go into anymore because there are problems with so many. Obamacare has ruined many healthcare jobs. Many Dr.s and nurses are leaving their professions because of it. Lawyers generally hate their jobs. I wouldn't know what to tell a young person to go into frankly.

Even if it was a high paying job I think my sanity is worth more. It's good to see what Anming does for work, all this time I thought she just corrected the English spelling on signs all day. haha. Nah nah nah, j/k. :) And damn you pass 500K!

  32923. At 2:58, after knowing that you went to Fudan University, the girl replies that 有点差距, implying that she didn't go to an as reputable university. She might not be saying 有点诧异 which means a bit surprised as the subtitles put it.

  32937. Great video! Learning about the Tsunami was the quite interesting! The cave was a bit tight/narrow/claustrophobic! I don't think I could have made it, walking crouched for so long. You and your friends are pretty brave!👍 I'm curious, how long did it take the complete the cave walk? Thank you for your r great content!👍
    1
  32938. Great video, thanks. The problem is some people don't realize there are different learning types, so you have to figure out what works for you and this is what can waste time. According to educational teachers, some of the different learning styles are visual, auditory, kinesthetic etc. So I'd say a good place to start is to find out what your learning style is first. I'm a visual learner so it has always been a struggle to remember things without an image association. I could look at a word on a page 50 times and still forget it. But when my brain makes an association of that word or character to an image, I can literally remember it after one look. I got interested in wanting to learn Japanese and really struggled at first just by trying to remember the characters and repeating them. I then came across Dr. Moku's flash cards. Just by the way he had associated an image with each of his Hiragana and Katakana characters was so helpful. Example: く = Ku. He made the association of a Cuckoo birds beak. So every time I see that character now I think of a beak, which in turn reminds me of the 'ku' sound. The association is almost instant with how fast the brain works. I actually learnt all Hiragana and Katakana in about 3 days using his cards. I'm still very much a beginner but I have found what is currently working for me.

  32940. Reduplication of words is used in a number of languages still, including West Germanic languages such as Dutch and English. My favorite one is Bahasa Indonesia though, Gado-gado (Meaning mixed) which is one of my favorite Asian dishes.

  32941. You are learning/learnt those languages which i also want to, so I was wondering if learning them is better online or going to that country and getting enrolled in university for language programs

  32957. Everyone can learn many language! The basic pretty important for most off the people that claims i speak many language. It's a different story when you learn a language for 1year and use it in the field. i myself speak french,english and dutch flawless,because i use it daily. i can put a real conversation with people. From most off the video's i see where people talk to other people in their language they are controling the conversation, that makes it amazing to the public eyes/ears. I'm sure if you have to talk about daily routines they will be left out in the dark and don't understand what the other person is talking about,because you only know the basic from it

  32973. I only speak 4 languages ( French, English,Portuguese and Japanese) but it is still not enough to write it for the last one ( way to hard to learn more than 2000 kanji). I have seen even a foreigner in a Japanese show with a kanji test and he was unbeaten even with Japanese people! That’s perhaps the most difficult to learn. Writing is the key to pretend to be truly polyglotte in my point of view… so I am polyglot but not in Japanese for this reason

  32976. Your Chinese is better than mine and your accent quite on point. I wouldn't think you're foreigner unless I really listen and concentrate and it's only a few syllables. You're amazing! I can't say anything about your Japanese but it also sounds amazing!

  32981. This video should get more likes, I subbed to your channel, I'm a Surinamese born in The Netherlands, I learn Mandarin Chinese and also want to learn Japanese because I like both cultures and languages. Do you recommend me to do one at a time or can I do both? I know it will take much more time mastering one, but just want your opinion.

  32985. They should’ve given people helmets with lights attached for that cave walk as lighting wasn’t too flash; I’m amazed they’re allowed to do that without OSH regulations. Another great vid, thanks Anming. I bet you’re glad you’re not in the US right now and I hope all your family and friends are okay :-)

  33008. I'm an Asian (Chinese) American, and I was on vacation with my parents (both from China), and we went to several cities in China. In the places that received lots of tourism, the locals wouldn't really notice us, but the children would stare at me when me and my little brother were speaking in English. English is my primary language. In the other places that don't get as much tourism, the adults and children would look at us awkwardly (maybe because of our accent-less English, and my mediocre Chinese). Anyways, one person went as far as to sneaking videos of us talking in English. Otherwise, the locals are amazing, and China is an awesome place to visit, except for local train stations where they run whole airport level security scans on you.

  33009. Those are agents from China that monitor people such as yourself when they leave the country and plan to return

  33010. Being followed and touched by Japanese in Japan was much worse 50 yrs ago especially if you had light colored hair and blue eyes, the old men that were in the service part of the ww2 occupation force said it was so bad, that they would ask for a clipping of hair and to take a picture with them.

  33011. So the moral of the video is, Beyblades are cooler than we thought and when you're a delivery guy, it isn't about delivering to a destination, but the friends we make along the way. Goodnight Ladies and Gentlemen.

  33012. I totally agree. Japanese people are very humble. Their own language shows it.
    1
  33013. Great conversation. It’s great to see so many other YouTubers commenting. People like You, Wouter, Xiaoma, and of course Laoshu have given rise to other great channels, and at the end of the day I just find it so intriguing when anyone can speak more than one language and you’ll always get a thumbs up and subscription from me.

  33014. What is the goal of nanpa? Just talk to girls or more? It wasn’t clear whether nanpa’s motive is innocent or not. Or if it even varies from man to man.

  33016. This was a really good reminder! I never stopped to imagine someone could be “faking” it. All these language channels are very entertaining and motivating. I agreed with pretty much everything you guys were saying. The small part about you talking about people not being impressed if you were to speak Russian was relatable to me. I was adopted from China when I was 4 months old and grew up in California. My parents are not Asian. So Even my situation is different from ABC s. Even though I minored in Chinese (mandarin) in college and studied it maybe not as seriously for the entire 10 years plus of my life, I’m 24 now, I never did it to impress someone, especially knowing that no one would be that impressed in the first place because of my ethnicity. I went back to China when I was in 8th grade, and remember not really speaking much when I got there. I remember people trying to speak to me but I just looked confused and a little embarrassed and apologetic like I “should” be able to communicate with you, but am too shy, unconfident in my Chinese ability etc. (excuses I’m just overall quiet person). Unfortunately, I never lived or studied abroad there and because of the small fear of judgement from others and my own self confidence in my abilities is probably what held me back from doing so in the first place. Luckily, I’m still trying to maintain and improve my Chinese at my own pace not because I have to or want to impress people but just because I like it and want to. Even trying to learn other languages because it’s fun. Even though I’m a quiet person i still thinks it’s great and very important to be able to communicate and understand others. 谢谢你，我很喜欢你的视频。

  33030. Hello again, friend. Today I had another FREE session in Mandarin. Your videos (most recently) have encouraged me to take the plunge. Now I'm trying to "work the stystem" by getting all I can for the money. Both of my sessions were very good. It turns out that I can pronounce fairly well and this should help me to learn faster. However, I may also take classes at the university since my employer will reimburse me for these. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! So happy to hear that you are doing well. Your passion is becoming your career more and more😊👍

  33037. The real problem here is outrage culture. The people criticizing polyglots are the same people who criticize a thousand other totally benign aspects of human life. “Calling people out” is the means by which they gain a following or social clout. We simply have to remind them, in no uncertain terms, that they’re in no place of moral authority to be judging anyone. Learning a new language and speaking it in a YouTube video with native speakers is in no way sinful or harmful to society. It’s time to start pushing back against the new wave of angry church ladies thumping their Bibles in everyone’s face.

  33049. Few things to say… 1. I’m addicted to your channel!! I’m binge watching all of your videos!! 2. You’re really inspiring, your videos have motivated me to keep on with Spanish 3. I’ve noticed that your old channel name was Anming and your birth name is Alyssa, did you change your name when you moved to make it fit into the phonetic Chinese alphabet?? I’ve heard of people changing their names for religion but it never occurred to me that certain names don’t work in certain languages.

  33060. Let's just call it like it is: "JEALOUSY." FACT: People are so jealous about other people speaking so many languages. You wonder, why?? Well, as soon as they realize how hard it is and how much time and effort you have to put into learning a language, they simply give up and the frustration starts to surface. FAILURE>FRUSTRATION>ANGER>JEALOUSY>HATRED...there you go!!! So sad but sooo true!!

  33076. Why other youtube language channels might be popular, I couldn't tell you. But let's run down the check list here; you've got blonde hair, blue-gray(?) eyes, straight teeth, an "attractive figure", you've got a brain in your head, a quirky personality and you're well-traveled. And with all that going for you, it's amazing how down-to-earth you are. We {heart} Anming! ❤

  33092. I love when people challenge stupid rules like schools non nonsensical image rules and with her personality I imagine that was fun, I had my moments like that in high-school and that felt good, specially with my own upbringing being the son of a super strict elementary school teacher I had no say until I was big enough to challenge him that happened when I was 16 and just shy about 300 lbs I looked down to my dad and that was it.

  33093. The Japanese are resilient.

  33094. I think the thing about filming interactions is probably the touchy one because once you see a camera, you are going to act differently. It just changes the nature of the interaction, particularly if they know they may end up as content somewhere. That said, I find it hilarious that there's drama everywhere here.

  33106. Do you mind me asking- how old were you when you started to learn Chinese and when you started to learn Japanese? How old are you now? I am 21, and have been learning Japanese for 3 months now. It’ll be my second language. Family obligations keep me from going to Japan to stay, so I have to study from home in the US. I’m wondering if by the time I’m your age, I might be able to know more than just Japanese and English- like you do. My goal is to get a Bachelor of Arts in Asian and Asian American Studies, and eventually become a translator and/or even a polyglot, with multiple Asian languages.

  33110. I really love ur video, especially when you speak traditional Japanese language idiom which I can't learn it via text books. Not only those knowledge but also Japanese manners via Japanese language which I have almost preferred. I can't wait to watch your next video.

  33111. Hearing that woman's voice only at 5:55, I would have bet my entire house that she was a native Japanese person. I was blown away when she appeared on screen!

  33120. I think a lot of foreigners often only have interactions with people in Tokyo and don't really speak Japanese. City people in pretty much any country are often a bit more cold because they've seen a ton of tourist before and aren't interested, but the further out you go, the more interested and welcoming the people are of foreigners, especially those that can chat in Japanese.

  33121. It’s a pleasure to see your videos. You are a very nice person with good ❤️.

  33122. I recommend you to study Hanggeul and Filipino🖤

  33123. This was a timely video, thank you Oriental Pearl. I really value the opinions of advance language learners such as yourself. It is important that we follow realistic goals otherwise we could be discouraged from learning the language altogether. No one is learning Chinese in 6 months. That's a lie. Let masters of the language be your influence not those that know a little bit. In regards to the comment section, of all the "polyglots" that are getting heat. Wouter is actually pretty good.

  33126. I used to watch those people and found it awesome, until they spoke my language and realized they only said random words fast, without making much sense. Or sometimes just saying the same phrase in different languages. I think anyone can learn that in a few hours, days at most(just learn a sentence in different languages).

  33154. Great video as always, just found the music a bit loud to hear you as I try to pay attention a lots to your pronunciation! That is true, your channel was suggested to me through that video prank. I think as Chinese and Japanese are 2 languages with complete different structure from our mother tongue, people feel quite optmistic to see other foreigners learning and give them maybe a feeling " Yes, I can also do it". It is a source of motivation. I am Brazilian, so speaking Portuguese alows me to find Spanish and Italian a lot easier than Asian Languages because of our Latin background and I presume none of the languages were easy to learn, but you have put a lot of effort and dedication to that. I can definetely see when you comunicate and read. If you do not mind, would love to ask you about your school in Shaghai for Mandarim studies, without be enroled in the University itself. Do you think it was worth? I am not even a begginer so I am quite concern about understand absolutely nothing in the 2 months :):) but I believe in immersion for language learning. Do you mix the 2 languages sometimes speaking or writing?Thanks Anming. Pleanty of health, love and prosperity

  33163. I think personally so many people are offended by everything these days and it shows great weakness across society. My perspective do what makes you happy and have fun in life. Sure there are probably many polyglots pretending they are better than they are to sell books but oh well they have chosen deception to make a quick buck. I do think even if a person has only a basic level in a language it can really make another person feel a sense of unity. Just have fun in life.

  33177. Well, to be honest I'm not really sure what was clarified. I knew that a few of the drawings were yours and that you had talent as an artist. However, you also made it clear that you made a determination that it was more important to earn sufficient remuneration to support a lifestyle that you want to live, then your art would provide, at least initially. That you have talents, have proven you are willing to work hard to reach goals, is without doubt. Henry made a different determination. To him, being able to create the art, and be part of a great work of anime, is more important then the pay. He has sacrificed to make that goal happen. So is it about an individuals focus, as to what one needs to feel fulfilled. Everyone no matter whom they are are has to make determinations on what they need in order to do what they want. What lifestyle or likes are they willing to give up or forego to do that job. These choices are why we are individuals, as even with similar education and talents, each individual will choose a path that they believe meet their needs. Now, I'm not a massive consumer of anime, but I have watched some. I'm a subscriber to a channel that has discussed anime as one part of the channels focus. They have discussed that in animation you need to be a talented artist who can produce a sufficient number pages per day. Talented artists who work too slowly won't make it. They also stressed that you won't get rich unless you own your characters and art and hit big. So I respect Henry for his talent, dedication and commitment. I enjoyed this video. I'm impressed with you, for getting this interview, and highlighting what working in anime is really like. As with most of your video's, you show and explore parts of Japan and it's culture that are not normally shown. Another great video.

  33178. You are very self-deprecating. This certainly is a function of living in the Chinese/Japanese culture for so long. If you come back to the states it'll be hard to adjust. You are quite smart. Secondly- while I know China pulls at your heart - just look at the difference in culture as shown in this video. In Japan wallets and such are typically returned - not so much in China. Better community in Japan... But - less individual freedom too... always good/bad everywhere.

  33180. That cave gave me so much anxiety 😱 thanks for the history and for all the videos, I’ve been bingeing 😅. I’m hoping to visit Japan with my friend some day, so I’ve been using that website you recommended to study

  33181. @oriental. I am really loving your videos and your energy is truly infectious and inspiring. I have a question. I am studying Japanese at the moment but I don't live in Japan. They say the best and fastest way to learn a language is to study in a country where the language is spoken, but I don't have enough money to move to Japan at the moment. What would your advice be for learners like me? If moving to the country of the target language is not possible, what is the next best thing, and can learners like us make any progress?

  33185. This was an interesting video for me, as one of the things I felt I lacked was an ability to speak other languages. Yet, I've travelled to a few European countries and, with just a few pleasantries under my belt and a phrase book, I was able to get by most of the time. Maybe I did better than I thought and should have more confidence in my abilities. Thanks for the pep talk! 🧡

  33203. I speak also seven: Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, German, English and Japanese (JLPTN3 level) in Europe it is common, OK Slovak and Czech are 80 percent alike but not gonna lie...Russian was for me more hard then Japanese in the beginning LOL but when Russian started rolling then after 3 years it was on a good level and my Japanese after 11 years it still rusty especially I completely shitted on Kanji and for the last 5 years only YT and Anime keeps it alive as since 2015 I am no longer going to a Japanese class as I moved home and here are non...sadly (previously I lived in Germany for a decade and there I was learning Japanese I was heavily involved in Aikido and was working in Automotive)

  33209. We're not stupid. It's all fun to watch whether we are laughing at them or with them. As for language learning. I am 993 days straight into Duo mainly Japanese and I am definitely three time as fluent as when I knew nothing. Only joking. Some days I hear things and don't even realise it wasn't English. The day you get a joke in a other language is such a winner. I have time for all channels. Just be you and don't fix them.

I love my trips to Japan and watching your videos always makes me miss it. I think it’s interesting seeing it on the flip side from your perspective! You guys look great together I hope to speak as many languages as you do one day. I’m am pretty decent in Japanese. I’m also learning Korean. Best of luck to you guys ❤

  33221. Honestly I love how the church ceremony was done. The words the priest spoke was much more beautiful than here state side for me. Those words to me feel better suited for you and Tommy and how you love each other…instead of the church making it about themselves- when it’s your special day for you two. I am happy for both of you and how you have long happy marriage and beautiful genetically mixed children that look like models. Yes I know that’s weird- but some genetics from mix races create beautiful stunning children!

My family liked her and so did I even if I never spoke with her but I kept myself kinda close to her ( don’t even know how she looks like cuz I’m really awkward like that , hope to properly see her next time ) — OVERALL This — this was so adorable and I loved it and I’m so sorry for rambling ! Wait — lemme add some more ! The fact that they respect your religion and went to a Catholic Church — I’m a Christian honestly but I still found this SO AWESOME ! They are so kind and respectful !! And that you also still with them to the prayer thing — I love this so much. Sorry if I was rude !

  33271. I have recently been writing into pleco and trying to memorise more characters to improve my reading comprehension. I have seen that proverb @1:30 before, and always translated it as 'There will be no difficulties in this world for the person who is determined'. So it is nice to see a succinct and more natural translation. 😁👍 This video is encouraging.

  33284. It's a low and very insecure person who insults someone about the way they look. I would say the same for the people who think what you're doing is somehow insincere or culturally insensitive (what the hell does that even mean?). I enjoy your positive interactions with people abroad, and the fact you put time and effort into learning new languages is commendable. I lived in Japan twice and am looking forward to visiting again in the next year or so. I still have friends there!

  33320. Okay so I have been fascinated with the whole concept of polyglots and the subsequent commercialization of polyglotalism (fake or otherwise). This is gonna be long but I'm interested to get some thoughts out to see what other people think. Firstly it seems like thanks to the phenomena of I LEARNED X LANGUAGE IN 24 HOURS and other such clickbait, there is now very little distinction between learning a language, and actually learning how to learn a language. I feel like the reason fake polyglots get away with what they're doing is because they're counting on their audience to not understand the difference between the former and the latter. Learning a language takes considerable time and effort, and arguably is not a goal that can ever really be 'completed'. I often learn new things about English despite it being my native language and being 26 years old. One can also learn a language without really having learned how they infact learned it. For example, my father is a native Croatian speaker who learned English upon moving to Australia. He 'learned' English, but he did not necessarily learn 'how to learn', and as a result it would probably be fairly difficult for him to take on a third language. However, once someone understands how to learn a language, that person could arguably 'learn' a large amount of languages provided they can memorize certain phrases, numbers 0 - 100, 100 most common verbs, nouns, adjectives etc. Imo the vast majority of people could do just that if they really set their mind to it. But the act of filtering out what is necessary vs what is unnecessary to start learning a language doesn't mean you can speak it or use it. Being methodical in learning a language doesn't equate to being fluent. And this is what pisses me off the most about these 'polyglots'. Instead of being real with their audience and explaining how even the average person could get a leg up in several languages (if they want) using the kind of method I outlined above, they would rather make clickbait videos of them 'SHOCKING NATIVE SPEAKERS IN X CITY USING RARE LANGUAGE'. And it's just such a shame. Because there's real value in learning how to learn a language. There are better and worse methods to learn a language, period. I know many people will claim they use vastly different methods to learn a language but in reality, they eventually will have to learn numbers 0 - 100, the most common verbs, adjectives, and grammar/sentence structure in their target language if they want to make any real progress. I don't know. I get that clickbait works on Youtube and all that but it still feels gross and wrong that so many 'polyglots' can't just bring it down a notch. There is absolutely zero reason to trick someone into thinking they could learn 10+ languages fluently, unless you can somehow profit off of it, I guess.

  33321. This is what happens when you learn the hardest language in the world. It's so rare that people will always compliment you. If one doesn't wanna hear compliments just learn french, nobody will give a fk about you in the middle of Paris.

  33333. italki.com is amazing. Screw spending money on college. Screw grad school. Just learn what you can for a cheaper price and be happy. But good on you for your language skills. I think going to a language school is important to get to a very high fluent level.

  33343. When I went to Japan for business, my Japanese coworker offered me 桜肉 (🐴 馬肉).  I couldn't get myself to even try it.  You should do a vid on weird (unique) Asian foods.

  33344. Anming, can you please do some Chinese lessons for us? Maybe how to order at a restaurant or go shopping. That would be awesome! 😁👍🏼 Then we can do our own “pranks” haha

  33346. Please don't tell them where you are from and politely ask them to guess like your previous videos. I want to know if they always guess Russia.

  33349. Do you think you're lucky that Fudan U's acceptance letter was so late? I first visited China as a tourist in Beijing 2005 when the suburbs where I stayed had roads with traffic lights which were installed over streets but hadn't been turned on yet. Then I went to Shanghai in 2013-4 to work, and it was so different. I went back to Beijing in 2017, and realized the other differences I had noticed were more Beijing-Shanghai than 2005-2013.

  33354. Hi 🌞 It's funny seeing rickshaws we have them in Maine in the summer but not in the winter I think that that originated from there didn't they. 😵 if I was there it would have been great to ride on that with you and show me some of the site's.

  33363. I cant wait to save up enough money to go with my family. I've covered genki 1 and 2 and other books and made Japanese friends so I'm hoping I've built up enough when I go.

  33364. I met one Chinese lady in Spain and I was impressed that she could speak English, Spanish, French and Dutch very fluently. However, I don’t think it would be like your case in Asia. The world is just different.

  33365. Your roommate's are awesome for taking good care of you! 🙂

  33370. I speak Vietnamese but I don't speak it to a proficient degree. :D. Theres some people that tell me my Vietnamese sounds wrong but when I talk to my parents, they say that it's right...
    1
  33371. Given that native Japanese speakers usually struggle with words starting with R, it'll be more entertaining if you make that Japanese guy speak more Chinese words starting with R like 如果, 忍耐 or 认真 😂

  33379. I think Tolkien, who spoke far more than twenty languages, co-wrote the standard books for Gothic and Celtic and invented nearly as much languages, is no considerable comparison because he was foremost a LINGUIST - and the most dedicated for sure! But Friedrich Engels, who was a genius too, and highly educated and dedicated, spoke twelve languages fluently! That should put in perspective how much you can reach if you dedicate your WHOLE LIFE to this topic! Although one must mention that they didn't have the internet in those days! But this mainly makes up for the lack of resources and educational short-comings! They were rich and had the possibility to travel a lot, live in other countries and meet lots of people from around the world! But like you said it is totally okay when you learn many languages with lesser aspiration if you just want to have small-talks with as many people from different cultures as possible!

  33380. How did your learn to speak Chinese so fluently?

  33402. As a native spanish speaker i can notice that his Spanish is super good, no noticeable gramatical errors, the only things that are weird about his spanish is that he sometimes is using like formal words that aren’t so used and his tone sounds a bit weird but his Spanish is super good, specially grammar
    1
  33403. Nice vid very interesting. If you don’t mind can you guide me to a book to learn japanese ? I’ve been trying by researching but I really get confused by the versions people say that is kenji and the other cansai or something. Sorry if im rude but just want to learn.

Wo bu shi mei guo zhen. Wo shi La to wi ya zhen. Ni zhi dao wo de guo ma? Wo ye xue xi han yu. Wo hui shuo fa yu, xi ban ya yu he e yu. Best of luck!! I could never memorize the characters for writing and reading in Chinese or Japanese.

  33441. For me being a white dude living in Northwestern China I'd say it's about 70/30 shocked to non shocked ratio when I speak Chinese to the locals. When I've been in bigger cities like Chengdu or Kunming less people are shocked, but yeah, I get a lot of shocked reactions but also a lot of non shocked reactions. The most interesting interactions are the small few when people think I'm a minority Chinese person like Uighar or Tartar.

  33442. Hello, many thanks for your video. I do not regret to sign your channel. We have here at Europe also Europeans, whose are genetic a European, but skin-colour is comparable to Africans or Asians. The best is: Europeans treat you like a European. YouTube reads your subtitles in language of my nation: German. I did not like that, because I am able to understand International English and British Englisch. Over ten years ago I vacated at a West-English University. Nowadays England changed to a closed society.

  33450. Love this lady😃

  33451. I think videos about learning and speaking languages are very interesting and quite helpful for others, and after watching these videos some people might feel like learning a new language. but the videos which I personally absolutely hate on youtube are those "international couple"-videos "my japanese /korean boyfriend"-blabla videos, these are very weird but whats there to complain about learning and speaking languages and inspiring others
    1
  33452. Amazing video!! I'm impressed by how well you speak both languages. I recommended your channel, my nieces, one of that is learning Chinese and the other one loves Japan.

  33466. im currently studying Japanese at my university and was originally planning to study mandarin maybe after 3 more years of japanese but i realized i would've graduated by then (my actual major is Comp Sci) so I signed up for a Mandarin beginner class this summer and im really worried jflkhnjldf i know it's a bad idea to study Japanese and Mandarin at the same time but............

  33469. That was really well done. It is a side of Japan I suspect might exist but this is the first time I have confirmation. Although it’s a bit of a shock, in reality it doesn’t look anywhere near as bad as depressed areas in most other countries around the world. But it certainly is a wake up call to do something to prevent this situation getting any worse.

  33476. Tiny apartments are so cozy! Congrats and good luck for your wedding!

  33477. Maybe they are saying your Chinese is amazing simply because they want to validate all the time and effort you put into learning Chinese. I see it as a huge compliment.
    1
  33478. I TOTALLY understand her feeling. I am a Taiwan citizen but don't look Chinese even 1% (I have Australian/white family too though). Unlike Japan, Taiwan has Aboriginal Taiwanese and even Dutch colonization in the past so it should not be so strange for some people to look different but still speak fluently etc but SO often people were shocked or could not accept etc. The worst is when I went to China though because they were brainwashed to think all Taiwanese=Chinese and customs didn't believe my entry documents etc so anyway similar things can happen elsewhere in Asia.
    1
  33479. I totally agree with you ..hellotalk helped me a lot improving my spanish and i started with portuguese just one month before going on holiday to Japan...I was able to communicate the basis with locals there.. Now I would like to start japanese? but what to study first? Hiragana alphabet or vocabulary? Greetings from Italy

  33490. I enjoyed this new style of your videos!! I guess your channel will become more attractive and fun if you diversify the videos styles. That’s really awesome and great idea ✨😍😍

  33491. I'd be interested in hearing how you're paying for all this I'm hoping to spend another year in China (I returned to Canada, 10 months later, itching to go back) and I'm stressing out over scholarships

  33495. I am SO glad you are showing this! I always wonder, I always look. I saw only two things while in Osaka. A clearly homeless person sleeping with a blanket and pillow against a garage door in a little nook, and then during the morning, I have no idea if this guy was homeless or just napping on the job, but the guy was asleep on a cart type thing in the sidewalk with some folded cardboard boxes stacked on it, so I went back and left my spare yen on the cart for when he woke up, because I was under the impression he was homeless and would be able to buy a riceball with it later.

  33505. Interesting vid. I don't speak anything other than English but I had a similar experience in Thailand when a group of Chinese female tourists literally randomly grabbed my sister & I & started taking photos. They meant no harm but were quite rough & slightly scary lol! Had the same in Dubai. Random Chinese girls lining up for photos with my friend & I at the top of the Burj Khalifa & I'm about as photogenic as a dead dog lol! It was surreal. I honestly thought they'd mistaken me/us for someone famous. Apparently not. It's a thing!
    1
  33506.  @OrientalPearl  Yer, seemingly so. A Chinese friend of mine explained that for exactly the reason you mentioned, there's an element of prestige to travelling abroad & meeting "foreigners" so they want to prove it which is why they seem almost desperate to take photos with random people from other countries. I guess it's quite flattering in a way but I can't help chuckling when I think there might be a random photo of me on a mantelpiece in China lol.

  33507. I don't get that they aren't amazed by you speaking Japanese!

  33536. I am learning both Chinese and Japanese as well and while my Japanese is a lot better (mostly because i have put more time into it) I totally agree when you said you thought Japanese was a bit harder than chinese. Chinese pronunciation is harder but Japanese grammar and writing is a lot harder in my opinion. But I am very envious of your abilities and will work hard to hopefully become as good as you!

  33542. whoa, live streaming today!!! This is very different!
    1
  33543. This video is a great example of “flexing” your Japanese skills as well as sharing some educational info about the culture in Japan. I myself feel like your videos are a bit short (regardless of content). Maybe videos with a mixture of street conversations and educational content would fit your style better? I.E speaking to someone enough to get over the “jouzu” part and educate the viewer about something. It might not always be possible and require some cooperation from the other party, though.

  33544. i love your channel. that is all.

  33545. The music that plays in the beginning was so nice as an intro haha

  33546. Another great video and fun conversation. I am still wondering how you can nail the accent? As you know, many Chinese students can ace the English tests but can’t speak well. Will you say you have special talents?

  33567. Or some polyglots just grew up in a situation that allows them to learn many languages. I have a relative who grew up in the 1930s in Romania near the Hungarian Border, but was Jewish with a German-Jewish mother. So he grew up with German and Yiddish at home, Romanian in School, but Hungarian was also spoken all around. He learned Hebrew because he lives in Israel these days, and learned polish as an adult to help out with Holocaust education and learned Arabic because he worked with a lot of Arabs in Israel. So he grew up quad lingual and learned 4 more over time. I also met someone whose mother is a native Spanish Speaker, father is a native English speaker, grew up in a third language country but being a dual lingual place learned in school two other languages. Primary School age kid who speaks 4 languages fluently for his age level

  33573. Anming! What an amazing life you live! You are off to an fantastic start in life! Please keep the videos coming! They help to keep me connected to Japan when I lived there in the early-mid 60's, while living with my Japanese Grandparents for a time. My mom's side of the family came from Yokohama (Tsunoda family), and she left Japan when she was 19 and came to America to make a life with my dad in the Navy. She was an Japanese-Engllish interpreter for the US Army as young as 16 when she met my dad who was a young sailor in Japan during the early 50's (he was a farm boy from just outside of Hannibal Missouri), at 19. If she were alive today, she would be so interested in your life and your interactions in Japan. I can hear her saying "That girl is SMART!" Thank you for all you do!

  33588. I think that fluency is hard to define. Even in my mother tongue there will be words that I don’t know. If someone says they are trying to be conversational fluency they aren’t going to be perfect. And you have to look at there background. For me if I already speak something like Norwegian and I say I learned Swedish in 6 months that’s not unrealistic. Plus it depends on how many hours you spend on it.

  33589. wow this is awesome 😎

  33601. Thank you for sharing this with us. I feel you. This is sad.

  33602. Everyone is impressed by your positive attitude, supportive and encouraging approach to promoting learning language and travel and being bold enough to talk to people from another culture, and deservedly so. But I wanted to express how impressed I am with your video skills. Over the last couple of years, I've seen a significant although sometimes subtle improvement in your editing, composition, and camera work! Your lighting is very good lately, your decisions about whether and when to add soundtrack, choices about how much time to spend in a particular scene, all are reaching a truly professional level. I'm impressed.

  33615. I'm hoping to get at least in the healthy weight range before I visit. I don't want to get pointed and laughed at for a medical condition. Being fat is a hormone imbalance. I'm fixing that with a carnivore diet. I'm dropping weight now at a rapid but safe pace but I have a long way to go. I would love to visit Japan but I don't want to be seen as a freak. I'm so sorry that the person in this video is treated so poorly for a medical condition.

  33618. I never understand this type of choice. Too small i need minimum 80mq. Why to pay 30man for a such small place. Plus how much is the maintenance fee? If you need a parking how much? I bought my first luxury apartment in takarazuka 10 yrs ago. Now i am renting it for 15man. 5 yrs ago i build my home in Yokohama. 130 SQM 2 car parking and 2 motorcycle parking. By train it 30 min to Shibuya in the 3rd most requested area in Japan. I use the motorcycle to work and it take 15 min. I pay 16man and on 100% loan. I pay like the normal rent that is covered by my earnings from my first apartment. Do you think this is the best solution for living?

  33651. Look what’s annoying as far as being a new language learner is the idea that these people claim to “speak 20+ languages”. Then walk around speaking basics and not knowing how to speak them properly. In my opinion it would be more motivating to say “I am learning x language and here I am trying to connect with people”. That’s much more motivating and captivating. “White guy blows minds off of Mexicans” is stupid and offensive. Unnecessary

  33668. Ur videos are so cute! I saw one of ur videos u said u were from Detroit! I am from Ann Arbor😂. So cool! My grandmother and mom can speak German, my grandmother is from south Germany. But they never taught me, I grew up in Michigan. My daughter now wants to learn German because she heard mom talking and she was so intrigued. So I bought my daughter dou lingo, and I study with her, she's better then me. I have also been trying to learn Spanish because I now live in Florida and Spanish is very heavy down here! I catch people talking about me in Spanish, and I understand but I'm still trying to pronounce the words properly, so most people help me! Learning other languages is soo cool .

  33672. Thanks for making us all aware of this, being super lazy i linked everything with facebook to login.... WITHOUT 2FA.... and.... of course someone managed to hack my facebook and several sites i logged into with FB, online shops is automatically linked to my Paypal... yes stupid me! i started getting charges to the credit card linked with my FB account and before u know it my friend messaged me to ask if i was ok... someone had posted i was trapped in Afganistan and needed help....money as i was being held hostage! anyways long story cut short... installed 2FA, changed passwords, email address, disconnected my payments with paypal etc.... Yes trolls are everywhere, they discredit people for profit or to try to stop u from making content, or as you said already scam you. We love the peek into your life! keep on smiling having fun and sharing! p.s. i followed u on IG finally! liked all of your posts i think, so if you saw a bunch of likes appear its me! stay happy and stay safe!

  33673. Hello ! Thank you for the video, I love it so much ! I was wondering, I came across one guy walking around with the grey cart thingy ... Sadly I was in a rush so I didn't have time to stop. But what are they selling ? Are they street food seller ? The guy I came across was wearing a suit, very salaryman outfit. Wish you a good day !

  33674. I’m learning Spanish but I like your videos because I admire the way you to talk to native speakers. I hope to be as good as you one day in Spain or Latin America 🙂

  33676. I am so delighted by the way you expressed those Japanese mannerisms - these are very subtle cues of a person who understands the nuances of the Japanese language. I am very happy! (Grrrr... also jealous)

  33677. So I've been to Japan something like 9 times and I'm fat so I already take up a lot of space. The first couple times I went to Japan, people wouldn't sit next to me but I didn't care and just assumed because I was a fat gaijin. However, I didn't have that issue in Kansai and people sat next to me on either side and went on with their business. For the next few years I stuck to primarily travelling in Kansai and didn't experience that issue. But I also stopped wearing cologne and stuck to lotions. But the last couple times I visited the Tokyo metro area, I was surprised to see that people would sit next to me without any cualms so I thought to myself, perhaps it was the cologne? I haven't experienced folks sitting away from me since. And I'm not any smaller than I was during my first couple Tokyo trips iver a decade ago. So I'm not sure what changed but I'm okay with it. Granted, I'm also aware of my size and sit with my arms and legs close to my body as to not encroach on the spaces to the left and right of me. Sometimes folks will even try and and conversate which is a huge difference from the Tokyo I experienced a decade ago. I still like Kansai more though 😅

  33678. I'm a chinese but I don't speak it nearly as good as you.... RIP I feel like my Japanese is better at this point lmfao Ima consider changing nationality.

  33680. First of all, you are GORGEOUS! let's just get that out of the way. 2nd of all, the way you immerse yourself, and learn, and teach about your experiences with other cultures in such a respectful way that shows so much love for them, is so beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for giving us more insight by making yourself vulnerable and sharing aspects of your personal life. Lastly, a lot of these nobodies make these criticizing videos of people who have popular channels because that helps them to get their Channel noticed because if someone searches you, they will come up in the search. They are like YouTube parasites LOL at the end of the day you make something that you are proud of, and say f*** it to the rest of them! Keep doing you, and the real ones will keep watching and supporting you!

  33691. PearlTommy, 🙋🏻‍♂️very loyal subscriber here from Houston, Texas. Watching you 2 is like a wonderful shot of dopamine and endorphins all wrapped into 1 package. Thank-you both for posting. I love it when they compliment your kung-fu, Pearl. Happy Year of the Rabbit 🐰. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵🇨🇳🇰🇷

  33692. You are amazing and I love your videos, I am chinese (well am I?) and can't even speak chinese, I tried for a while in my late teens/early 20s and then gave up. I look chinese and 2 of my grandparents were born in China but they migrated to South America, I live in the Caribbean, I studied in America and I have an EU/Dutch passport....I confuse people a lot too, being fluent in Dutch and with my oriental looks. I wish I could speak Chinese like you, I admire you a lot, much love to you, keep the videos coming. Take care!

  33702. I’m so grateful for people like you who are willing to shine light on bad situations and want to help the homeless there. I couldn’t believe all of the trash laying around! Because, all of the videos I’ve ever watched shows how clean and strict they are with waste! Blew my mind! Thank you for a great video and would love to see more! Keep spreading the truth! ❤

  33705. I love your content and you inspired me to pick Japanese up again (4 semesters at university... years ago ... I’m 37 lol) but I appreciate you saying this. I’m a musician and often feel this way when people play 3 or 4 instruments poorly and the world is like “look at that amazing talent” while someone else who plays one instrument has far greater command but that’s not “flashy” so I feel this at a spiritual level. Anyway, I watch a lot of your stuff and I just wanted to say thank you for this video!!! (Unrelated but even after 12 years of Spanish and going to Spanish speaking countries and using no English to get by I still have a hard time saying I’m fluent in Spanish ... I’m not... I can just live day to day and get food and directions and explain my toe hurts... I don’t understand much more so it irks me when people portray fluency and just talk about their favorite color and how they want pizza lolllll)

  33727. Don't do that anymore !!!! You'll become viral. Serioulsy, it's impressive to speak both japanese or chinese. Japanese sounds smoother what do you think of that ? What is it to learn and speak those languages ? I really like your video. Not sure to watch more contents but, it's a good social experiment ! Have fun !
    1
  33728.  @OrientalPearl  I don't know how you manage to respond to tens of thousands of people, but you manage to do it, it's impressive! I subscribed following your recommendation. Let's live the adventure

  33729. I sound like a broken record but this is what sets you apart from the rest. Sure, it’d be nice to make “bank”, and perhaps you will, but your passion is clear and genuine. I’m so happy you’re finding others like you and appreciate the honesty. As I’ve always said, your commitment to authenticity is something to be respected and admired. It’s a much lengthier road but the reward is so much more fulfilling 💕

  33738. I have lived in Japan for 25 years and to tell the truth Japanese are polite , shy , highly educated , and Japan is very safe place to live . people say lots of stuff but the reality living there yourself and seeing yourself and experienced it yourself is different thing ! I am not blond nor tall just ordinary guy . Japanese are wonderful , kind , friendly and generous .

  33741. I was in Senegal (1977), and we walked into this bar (really just a screened in room) to get some "Star" beer, well, we grabbed up some bottles and we paid the lady lying on the carpet with the money tray. Cool. We carried our beers to the outside tables, and all was fun drinking, soaking up the east African sun, and trying to talk to the locals in my broken French, when suddenly a member of the Senagalese army sits down heavily at our table. Since my hat was on the table in front of him I removed it to make for more room in front of him. The army guy becomes agitated and starts yelling at us. A quick question to our guide (we had hired a local person to show us around Dakar) revealed that the soldier was insulted, and I had removed the hat because I thought he would steal it! I had unknowingly made a major cultural faux pas!! I thought the soldier was going to gun us down as he had a sub-machine gun and grabbed it up. Uh-oh! I was apologizing as fast s I could to no avail, when "Alex", our guide, grabbed up the soldier by his collar and belt and gave him the "bum rush" out of the bar and into the street!! Alex came back and said the soldier was just drunk and chewed (Khat?) and that the army did NOT issue them any ammunition anyway, and not to worry! So, everything worked out alright even though, for a minute, I thought we were goners... (we tipped Alex REALLY well at the end of the day, by the way) That is my story about having trouble and its resolution while travelling overseas.

  33750. Do you ever slip up and use a Chinese word or phrase while you're speaking Japanese? In Cabo last year I was throwing out what little Spanish I could remember in a situation and then I said, "Obenjo wa doko desu ka?" instead of "Dónde está el baño?" I was embarrassed . We used the word obenjo a lot back in the 70's. I imagine that has changed. In the 70's, Okinawans and Japanese wouldn't be very friendly because they thought we were American military. We lived off-base and tried hard to get to know our neighbors. One of the first phrases I learned was - Watashi wa gakko no sensei desu. The cold shoulder immediately dropped because of the high regard for my profession. (Don't criticize my slaughter of the Japanese language!) I'll never get a command of Spanish like you have with Chinese and Japanese and before long Korean. I just want to be better.

  33755. Anming, your Japanese is coming along nicely. Only a native Japanese speaker would be able to detect a hint of an accent there. There will come a day when your English will have a slight accent when you speak it, and not because you’re from the Midwest. Lol.
    1
  33756. I do not think so. There have not been any failure. You have actually succeeded as evidenced by Chinese people's reaction especially the waitress. It is just that your friendly and heartwarming personality outshine more than the prank – which makes your pranks ten times better and have their own special character.

Enabling your Super Thanks in your channel settings will allow us in the comments to treat you to a snack or beverage so do so and Boba bucks will be headed your way. Btw that was cool of your Mom to come along to the party it may have been some time since you were last trick or treating together! :shelterin:

  33777. Originally (circa 1758) a nickname for people from New England, now applied to anyone from the United States. Even before the American Revolutionary War, the term Yankee was used by the British to refer, derisively, to the American colonists. Since the Civil War, American southerners have called all northerners Yankees.

  33783. I think what a lot of people may not realize with these "Chinese people shocked by [adjective] person speaking fluent Mandarin" videos is how many people they may need to interact with to get 2 or 3 people who's jaws drop and have an entertaining reaction. You may be seeing a compilation that took 50 interactions to get 3 entertaining reactions. Or it could even be days going from area to area to get 5 minutes of good reactions.

  33787. How is it getting negative feedback? Personally someone who can speak more than 3 languages has basically a real world super power. The fact that you can go to many parts of the world and communicate with people is an amazing gift. The bald guy speaking it traces back to colonialism is a farce discussion in itself and sadly somewhat foolish. Learning languages is an amazing gift, recording one self doing so is cool and a eye-opener.

  33790. There is still a very special relationship between China and Japan. Many Chinese are still pretty aware of the war crimes which were committed by Japanese soldiers in WWII and that it took several decades for an official apology. Germany is in a quite similar position with its neighbours. At least the German government apologied much quicker.

  33801. In the end I think it boils down to jealousy. I'm impressed because I could never do it.It's like an art being able to speak a couple of languages so well that you sound "almost" like a native.To be honest I don't think there are that many people out there that can actually do it, as a lot of people don't have the personality for it (to do videos). And even if it is for fame (for some people), who cares. People do a lot of really stupid things today to get famous, and this ain't one of them. If you happen to be somebody that doesn't like it, then just don't watch it, pretty easy.

  33802. Elderly Japanese are probably less likely to be surprised by a foreigner speaking Japanese because they grew up with Americans stationed all over Japan after WWII. Younger Japanese would probably be more likely to be surprised by it.

They will go through all your videos and pay the most attention to what you do. When they lash out it's just showing love. Never get angry at them back or you might scare them off" or something. Those guys on CircleJerk don't love me any more :( You can stop by here any time as long as you give me some notice. Message me on Twitter and lets set something up^^

I am very late for bed (almost 3:30 am where I am sitting) and BOY AM I AWAKE, NOW! lol I did not find that house to be creepy, or the village. The tunnel, though... But, I am only seeing this through your camera so I have no idea, personally. Darn. I would LOVE to go visit, but not until I am closer to fluent in Japanese... The rain superpower is funny. He wants to be close to you, so you share an umbrella. That's brilliant. YAY! The Bullet Train!!! Okay, I loved this video! PLEASE upload more often if you can, I LOVE your content!

  33836. I had an incident in Vietnam once. They knew I was American and I don’t speak Vietnamese as good as I would like. I had a cab drive in circles just to hike up the charges. Was supposed to take 30 minutes but ended up taking almost 2 hours. They made their money on me and I didn’t even know until I told someone what happened. I was scammed. Another time in Greece, I was given tourist priced menus. I didn’t even know until I noticed a local menu with different costs left on a table next to us. Scammed again.

  33856. Kalau di jepang ada "rickshaw" yang namanya "rickshaw boy". Di Indonesia juga ada,cuma pake "Kuda/Horse" namanya "Delman" dan kami biasa menyebutnya "Pak Kusir". Mungkin kalo berminat bisa menambahkan spot traveling ke Indonesia (Yogyakarta/Bandung/Medan/Bali) disana bisa jumpa yang namanya "Delman". Salam sejahtera, semoga kakak selalu diberi kesehatan,sehat selalu dan dilancarkan segala aktivitas nya. Semangat >_<

  33858. Oh my goodness I remember watching you like 2 or so years ago while I was learning Japanese !! You had 8k subscribes at the time, I thought you were really underrated but I didn’t have a channel the time, so I couldn’t subscribe to you. I lost you but found you again, and now you have 230+k subs and verified! Keep it up love! God bless y’all

  33860. 5:20 Right? Kind of disgusted at these people calling Europeans colonizers etc for being interested in languages. So you should be demonized for being interested in other cultures and languages just because of your skin color?

  33887. Great video though I highly suggest Japanese pod 101 over pimsleur it taught me substantially faster and the classes were more of what you would get in face to face encounters

  33888. It was so nice to see you having fun.
    1
  33889. Wow, two of my favorite vlogers in the same video. Anming and Kalie. Awesome! The small servings and drinks in Japan seemed weird to me until I thought you don’t see hardly any obese people in Japan, but in America it’s so common. Our portions are way too big.
    1
  33890. I feel fortunate that by the fate of or the nature of things, your channel had come to my attention (some time ago). Sure, there are many great content creators. But, what I am trying to express is that individuals like you have a special energy that comes across as being very attractive, comfortable and real. I've watched many of your video productions. I love them all. There is something special when you focus on the real life experiences you and Tommy, his family and yours share. It's almost like I, as a viewer, am part of your experience. So much so, dare I say I feel emotionally connected! The moments you highlighted in this video were endearing, cute and fun to be a part of. I felt joy and happiness! I am sure many of your viewers would agree, we want more! Of course, gratitude is offered for your hard work to bring us such wonderful moments of your life. I truly hope you and Tommy succeed in all you endeavor to do and that good health allows you to achieve it. All the way from somewhere near Lake Erie in NY State, Blessings!

  33937. Once i was in chiba and struggled to follow signs in train station. I asked random strangers for help ( as i was visiting japan and doesn’t know anything about japanese language) almost all ignored but only some girls thrice helped to get into right train. I was wondering what was wrong with thoses people. In place where i live if someone ask for address people will make sure you reach correct place sometime they will accompany you till you reach there, as i has happened with me.

Those who say they are from Harbin, many of them are not from Harbin，But they're basically from Heilongjiang，I don't know why，But it's true，Maybe most people think all Heilongjiang people are the same ，In fact, the difference between Harbin people and other Heilongjiang people can only be known by ourselves.

    1
  33946. I like your final messages. A bit of sacrifice but after some time you're rewarded and the reward would keep coming for as long as you keep that level. Because being able to speak another language fluently is so cool. Also it opens doors professionally speaking.
    1
  33947. Congratulations to you both! You look beautiful!!! And that cathedral is just WOW!!! I hope you guys have a lifetime of happiness together! I’m sorry your family couldn’t be there but I’m glad you had a close friend who could walk you down the aisle! Maybe you can celebrate an anniversary with your family and friends in the US one day!

  33975. @3:50 actually some Japanese girls do it to each other too (girl-to-girl, if they are very close)! My Japanese friend often cling onto me. Sometimes we pretend to be a couple, lol (hold hands and stuff)! It's definitely an Asian thing! Lol, not gonna lie. I love watching you speak Chinese and Japanese! @6:40 such an American thing, lol - to open doors for others!!! I thought Anming is such a gentleWomen!

  33976. I think this is your best video yet. I think the bar is exactly when they joke about your Chinese being better than theirs. Join us and wear a mask 😆

  33981. Interesting story. That's what i call brave- starting a whole new life far, far away from home with a completly different language but not once, but twice.

  33982. I'm surprised they didn't ask your name. They wanted a picture with a stranger 😂😂
    1
  33983.  @OrientalPearl  你學中文相當精準👍。連這個都挑出來。我在臺灣（台灣）多用取名字，起名字在臺（台）灣很少用。你星座應該是處女座或是魔羯座的。

  33984. It is a good thing that the European Frame of Reference for the Languages was invented. You can pass a test and then say I am a B2 in German for example and C2 in French. When someone pretends to have reached a high level, you can now ask which one ? The Alexander which is mentionned at 21:30 is certainly Alexander Arguelles.

  33985. Love this lady, always smiling and happy😎😎😋😋

  33986. One thing people know about Me is I'm a conversationalist, I will strike up a conversation with anyone as I love to talk. So I agree with you people should just start talking you never know who you will meet or make friends with. Another fun filled video thank you for the entertainment
    1
  33987. Can you return to the US and work remotely, perhaps teaching English online? Best of luck to you.

  33994. This video was REAAAAAAAAAALLY fucking good. God dammit, good fucking job^^
    1
  33995. Its impressive to hear you speak different languages. I am native British but I am fluent in Japanese and can switch between the two languages easily, but thats it. I learnt some Chinese and Vietnamese too, especially asbI have been to China and Vietnam, but never mastered either of those. Seeing this video makes me want to learn Vietnamese more once again....was very inspirational.
    1
  33996. Hello there, can you please tell us the name of his channel, if possible? I tried looking him up, but couldn't find anything...

  34001. anming, you go gajin girl. people criticizing two fluent albeit white japanese speakers and married to japanese of cultural appropriation is next level stupid. your reverence and level of commitment for japanese culture are evident. i am in your corner on this one. tim

  34005. That ramen museum is in Shin Yokohama

  34006. I like this idea and I want to try it when I go to visit Japan. I don't have friends in the US where I live because here in Utah (where I am right now) everyone has their own circle of friends and they don't let anyone new in. I hope that when I visit Japan I can make friends and keep in touch with people there so that I can move and live there eventually.
    1
  34007. I'm a REALLY REALLY big fan of Visual Kei style, it was born there in Japan but it's been almost dead for years now, but it remains a bit nowadays. I'll be so delighted if you bring something about Visual Kei to the channel (maybe asking Harajuku people you meet about that fashion or smth). Btw your videos are amazing, you always make me encourage to do my best learning Japanese and anything really!
    1
  34008. I’m a black American and I noticed every very beautiful looking woman in America. THIS WOMAN IS A MODEL!

  34009. Enjoyed the video, Japan is a great State, will visit again in the future. I will hire you as a guide and interpreter.
    1
  34010. Jargon... every subject has its different vocabulary and optional usage of familiar words. Anming refers to it in the video and several comments do too, but I didn't see anyone use the word. Knowledge of the jargon in many subjects is definitely a sign of fluency/ proficiency in a language.
    1
  34011. The polyglot videos give off such high expectations for people to fail and feel they done something wrong. Then they leave the language... people should not be paid to mislead others and eventually be a reason why they loose their passion. There are so many videos claiming to learn Japanese in BLANK days with such unrealistic results. It just isn’t right...
    1
  34012. Beautiful and informative video. I enjoy it very much.
    1
  34013. Nice video, I’d love to know more about to music you listen to in Japan? Is Idol music really that popular and how popular is Babymetal in Japan? I’d love to know how living overseas has effected your taste in music
    1
  34014. I love ur videos i hope one day i’ll be able to speak with you in japanese or mandarin

  34015. You look so pretty in the Kimono 😍

  34016. whoa, she is very good!! im already amazed by how she speaks mandarin. but when she starts speaking japanese fluently, that truly caught me off guard. now im subscribing to ur page.. :D
    1
  34017. Didn't expect to see R2D2 on this channel. This is up there along with constipated Pikachu 😄
    1
  34018. I don't remember the guy's name i think he had a contest of paying you 5 Euro if he doesn't know your language...now I do think he speaks more than just a couple...but watching one of the videos, you could tell that he was partly memorizing certain phrases as he was conversing, he didn't really answer the other person's question...like the person would ask 'how did you learn..(such and such) language and he'd answer with well, I'd like to practice ..or something irrelevant like that. I am moving slow with my Japanese duolingo (used to fly through the lessons last year...for a few months)....man if I could at least be good at conversational level in a couple more languages (Japanese included) that would be awesome....

  34023. Redbull?!? Ugh. In California, where I'm from, everyone here separates the trash. Most of California. That might be coming to lots of other states too, such as Michigan. BTW, nice intro to Michigan. You should talk more about the US. Is Redbull popular in China or Japan? Personally, everyone I know who drinks it, hates the taste.
    1
  34024. Keep up the good work. I also speak English, Spanish and French fluently. I learned to write in Spanish and French when I was only 14. It took years and years of watching movies, writing, learning the IPS sounds, and reading of course. I’m moving on to German this year and I’m 20 btw.

  34025. did someone ever get scared with that mask? 🤣
    1
  34026. Sooo,Polyglots are like people with nice cars??......... " just because you have something cool doesn't mean you should drive it out in public.keep it parked in the garage and enjoy it by yourself".......... This is probably the dumbest window-licker attitude toward this type of content. if anything the videos serve as motivation to aid in a persons language study. gives a perspective of a possible real life dialogue......which is the goal of study in the first place
    1
  34027. Do they have an Instagram? - need to know more about that girls earrings 😍

  34028. Can't wait for the America vlog!!!!!

  34029. She's adorable! I studied in France for a year when I was young, but that was really awesome. So much more impressive than learning another Indo-European language, especially not when you started learning it as a child.

  34030. The Japanese seem like wonderful people.

  34034. I've been learning Chinese for a couple of months or so now using YoYo Chinese which I really enjoy the heck out of it! BUT, there are some Chinese people that work in places nearby and I want SO bad to try speaking to them (very very little at this point of course) but I am so afraid to!! I want to just say a little something here and there and freeze every single time. I just cannot do it. I'm so afraid they will think what an idiot or that I sound so stupid or laugh or make fun etc etc etc. How in the world do you get over the fear of that and go for it?! Ugh...

  34037.  @OrientalPearl  I don't think it's gonna be a difficult thing to do, coz you can still do by sharing videos on your channels. It's good to make up your mind what u want benefits from this coz a lot of people are making thousands of dollars on YouTube through what you are doing. You just need to create content it will be easy for you to make it coz you are a lady

  34041. I think your YouTube channel is great for you. Because you have an outlet and a purpose for these reactions. And I also think it's a good way for you to get out of your shell.

  34043. Many Blessings to you both. I wish you many years of good health and discovery together. This was so heartwarming to watch, thank you for sharing such intimate moments in your life with us.

  34049. Hi there, and thank you for the videos. Since you are spaking so much mandarin in Japan, I was wondering what percentage of Japanese people in Japan speak mandarin? Thanks for the answer (estimate)

  34056. Congratulations! Guess you’ll be staying in Japan then :) Married a Japanese man last year (no ceremony or honeymoon yet :()and what’s kind of frustrating is that for some reason his family and friends assume that I’ll naturalize someday, but I really have no plans to (my country of origin is a big part of my identity, even if I plan to settle in Japan).

  34057. Congratulations!

  34058. Wow I was born in China and then moved abroad when I was young. At literally every family reunion, I was asked to perform ‘speaking English’😂 It was funny to hear that Americans do that to with Asian languages.
    1
  34059. I guess it's good to talk about this, but if people are too fixated on this issue just remember there are actual hate crimes happening to people for speaking a different language. That to me is more deserving of discussion when it comes to language and culture.
    1
  34060. I love your videos as it is funny and relaxing to watch. You have a great and likeable personality.
    1
  34061. Good video as usual. It’s nice to see both of you in more videos ,it very charming!
    1
  34062. Yeah, I usually steer clear of videos of people claiming to be polyglots after watching a couple videos years ago and clearly hearing basic level speech or just very bad pronunciation. Sadly, this may deter me from watching videos of actual polyglots who are hidden behind all the clickbaits. As someone who has been learning Japanese and Korean for years, I already know not to click the video if they claim zero to fluent in a matter of months especially if you are just learning on your own. You really need to interact with the language you are learning to pick up on the nuances. Here's in hope they are at least encouraging language learning and viewers know what works for one person may not work for themselves!

  34063. New subscriber here! Your channel came up on my recommended feed. Your Japanese is very good. Just curious if you have heard of Xiaomanyc? He is a YouTuber from New York that speaks fluent Chinese.

  34066. I went to Fudan for a semester. I'm sure you're aware it's one of the best unis in China so I think that's what they're reacting to :D

  34067. Damn, those people being angry with polyglots filming in the street showcasing their talents are proper INSECURE. If they hate those kinds of genres, better hate those people playing musical instruments in the streets, shocking the crowd and filming it.

  34069. I love matt and so happy you did this collab with him!! It is so true about the various polyglots, because I h have followed yours & Matt's channel, along with some of the actual polyglots and some of the "pretenders". I guess you would consider me a polyglot, but I NEVER claim, as some do, to be "PERFECT" or "TOTALY FLUENT". I speak English (native- I guess you could also add "Texan" Southern language to the mix), Russian (B2 intermediate), Spanish (B1 intermediate), Czech (A2 beginner). and German (A2 beginner)..I even know a little Elvish "Mae govannen!". I think its important, like you said, to compare each polyglot language You Tuber with other native speakers. Dont completely rely on one guy or gal and think that they are super amazing or talented. I am currently taking formal classes in both Russian and Czech and want to stay focus on both languages until I hit C1 Native fluency- only then will attempt Polish or Ukrainian! I think these Polyglots sometime draw people in with "clickbait" titles...its a shame. Thank you Anming, Matt vs Japan, Steve, Kaufmann, Luca Lampariello. and Chris for giving straight up great advice for language learning. What I would love for you and Matt to do sometime is a "Anming rates <insert YT language reactor name here>" or "Matt rates <insert YT language reactor name here>". You can review Chinese and Japanese YT language reactors like I have seen some language teachers have done. I think you could really test some of the big boys like Xiaoma, Ikenna, Laoshu, JJ, just to name a few...would love to see that for sure!!

  34070. I think why people think you're Russian because your face looks similar to Russian people face structure. If I don't know from this video, I think you look Russian too. I have been living in America for 40 years. I can tell the American accent from British or Australian accent. I live bubble tea too. You're right some store can't make the bubble tea tasty. Since you can speak Chinese and Japanese, the other language you should learn is Spanish. Then, you can work for the State Department to work for US embassy around the world. They need people like you. In healthcare If one can speak Chinese and Spanish, they are easy to find a government job than speaking other language. In my area, the county wants to hire people who can speak Chinese and Spanish.

  34071. agree it's about the conversation
    1
  34072. I'm very introverted but sometimes i love is the feeling warmth. i live in Rome and we have a china town here. when i enter those stores I'm very self conscious and feel observed but then i found a store. and i felt warm inside. i didn't feel judged i was so happy. that store wasn't the cheapest it was quite expensive but i decided to go there just because they greated me and remember my face. I'm sure they do it to everyone but that feeling is special to me. i could by something for 5 euro somewhere else rather than 7 there but just because of them knowing i go there often, asking where i live and small talk i go there.

I wish you keep your smile and have a safe flight back to China asap. By the way I know about some Brazilians youtubers who succeeded entering in China, right in the middle of January, but they had a restricted quarentine,so I hope you can make it through too.

  34136. I'm not sure, but just how bad is the japanese social security system that that would be a valid point for the US citizenship? Pls don't misunderstand I'm not saying one of them would be an obvious choice over the other but I'm from germany and compared to most european countries the US social security system is basically non existent so that statement made me genuinely curious what the japanese one looks like!.

  34145. Wow thank you so much for this video especially the advice about bringing cash to Japan..I didn’t know that for real and I love the fact they still old school. Love your videos and it’s a real eye opener. Question? Which places would be good to visit if given this situation ends and if cash is used everywhere apart from Tokyo.

  34147. At Germany People would think you are weird when you talk to them on the Streets, Especially in Berlin. Just Drunk or People with some sort of Mental Handycap (Down Syndrome etc.) and sometimes Old People talk to Strangers here regularly. At least that’s what I encountered here in Berlin and one French Guy at the Train once. At America it’s much more Open I think. I never visited the USA but when I see YouTube Videos or Documentations about the USA I see it often. Small Talk seems to be a common thing among Americans. Here in Germany people are pretty reserved especially at the North Berlin etc. but we also the most unfriendly City probably in the whole World

  34151. Great Video :) What was the average breakdown of learning in the six hours? i.e. Split between Characters, Listening, Writing & speaking?
    1
  34152. Thank you! Yes, you motivate me to study Japanese. I'm currently on Duolingo and Japanesepod101, for free. I study Japanese only on the side as I am still studying for my board exams this year. After passing the boards, I plan to take up actual Japanese language classes. Keep the videos coming! おめでとうございます。

  34153. I agree with the people in the video - your videos have inspired me to study Japanese twice as hard!! Thank you!

  34154. Congratulations! I am so happy for you.

  34155. Why do we watch? The cultures and countries are interesting, sure. But that's a side show. We watch cuz you're a) charming, b) brimming with constructive energy, c) obviously very bright, and d) your language skills are damned impressive, especially considering only 6 and 2 years of study & practice. I don't speak either language, but I have a good ear for accents, and I would never be able to tell Chinese was not your mother tongue. I'm less able to gauge your Japanese accent; but still I've never heard another Westerner sound more convincing in that language. One more thing: I'm unable to detect any social fear in you. Being a timid introvert, personally, I envy this, and observe with fascination. Keep 'em coming.

  34162. Beautiful. I just started seriously trying to learn Japanese. I'm hoping to be generally conversational in 6 months and fluent within 3 years. Then it's on to Chinese, Swahili, German, Arabic, and Spanish. Wish me luck!

  34168. Just like any video that is on streaming platforms is capturing reactions or a reaction from it. English speakers do it to each other about accents or pronouncing words. Accents Dialects and Slang. It would be a boring video if a bunch of multilingual people conversing. I would like a bunch of people who could talk binary or Morse code just saying Numbers or Symbols cause it would be normal for everyone no matter the country

  34185. I always felt like I could do well with languages. I knew some German when I was a kid and did well with Spanish for some time. I've tried learning some Russian on my own but didn't go very far because of work obligations. I know a little Farsi but I really want to work on Japanese. Unfortunately, I don't get a lot of support for learning another language so I try doing what I can in the shadows so progress is much slower. Really cool seeing how well that guy spoke. I've met a Brit while in Afghanistan who was a good polyglot. He said he know about 11 languages. Cool hanging out with him and getting his take on different languages.

  34190. The trash can situation in Japan drove me bonkers. But I’ll never forget the night we walked by a design studio and they had a trash can outside of the front door. We threw a couple of cans in there and one of the workers ran out as we were walking away and just stared at us. Apparently, not cool to do...

  34194. I've done classes for kids and adults, and have similar experiences with the kids' classes. The way I think about it is that it's a slog that you have to go through and it'll get easier some day if you just keep hacking at it. Having a few of your own is a good way to naturally get better at it - Of course this isn't mandatory and it doesn't guarantee success either.

  34202. I've been waiting for a video like this. I speak three languages (English/Spanish/German) with a very basic conversational grasp of a couple others. From my experience in the multi-lingual community, very few people would ever dare call themselves polyglots. People who refer to themselves as polyglots usually do so out of arrogance or misunderstanding, and either way it's a pretty big red flag that the person is indeed not one. I see so many of these Youtubers pumping out videos titled "Guy/Girl shocks vendor with NATIVE language" only to witness someone stumbling through beginner sentences with poor pronunciation and terrible grammar. The power of editing is real, and if this is the content they are SHOWING, imagine how awkward the content that doesn't make the cut is... This video needed to be made, it was getting pretty annoying seeing these self-proclaimed Youtube "polyglots" raking in the cash by basically defrauding their viewers.... not that this will change that but at least it brings some awareness. Also, Matt is adorable.

  34203. Your calculation is off. 180cm is 5 feet 11 inches. I am 176cm which is exactly 5'9. Unless you meant 5.9 feet and the .9 part is out of 12 inches. Maybe a couple of inches doesn't objectively, but it sure does in the dating world!

  34221. There are Chinese channels that claim that Chinese people prefer large crowds. I have a lot of difficulty in crowded situations. I can't say that the Irish prefer gale force wind and rain, though. Getting hit in the face with flying debris isn't most people's idea of fun.  Your channel has always been very light-hearted, but we all are in a serious moment now.  These moments will pass, and things will get better for all of us. You are blessed to be doing what you love, learning new languages. You get to apply your gifts and skills – hurray for you!

People who doesn't study languages may be fooled but I'm not. Language learning takes time, and it's HARD, well if u really wanna learn it, not just fool people into believing you're a polyglot

  34244. I just recently found your channel and I love it. I Love the Asia Culture, I love it so much I married a Filipino Women 15 years ago. But I had a thought about your channel. If All the children of the world, say young teenager, Be mandated to live in another country for 3-6 months, maybe in 20 -25 years this world will be a better place. because lets face it, people would never go to war with there friends! But until this happens, please continue your YT work! Congrats on the wedding! (ikaw gwapa kaayo)

    1
  34273. I’ve been learning Chinese for 4 years now and although I can have simple conversations in Chinese (mandarin) I don’t consider myself fluent at all. In the beginning, I was inspired by some of the videos you’ve discussed where people claim to learn fluent Chinese in a matter of months. I go back to those videos from time to time and as my Chinese improves I realize that some of those people weren’t that proficient at all. It doesn’t bother me though because, in the end, those videos are some of things that inspired me to start learning in the first place. Now when I see really fluent people (like you and Matt) I know that it could possibly take 8-10 years or more to reach the fluency that I aspire to. But that’s perfectly Ok. So I guess my point is those “sensationalist” videos can be the “gateway drug” to a real language learning experience. So they do have a positive aspect. Thanks for all you do.

  34274. This is cool! Good on him for getting to such a high level. I personally find it extremely awkward to talk to another foreigner in Japanese. I just can't. It feels weird and unnatural and I I get really uncomfortable. Cool that you guys don't have that issue.

  34278. This is me talking to the hater. Why does it matter if she didn't achieve they way that you expected to be? She knows multiple language through effort and experience. Anyone who criticize her sounded so dumb. The opportunity for people like her is open for many things she can do. Jamal and Karen need to stop. I mean literally just stop. You have done enough damage to people's brain cells. You can keep your ideal fortune cookies of negativity somewhere in the ditch

  34281. When you live in an area you get adjusted to what happens there. I grew up on the US south east coast and hurricanes, especially smaller ones, don't scare me at all. They seem more an irritating nuisance than anything else. I wonder how long I would have to live in Japan before earthquakes seem that way?

  34300. yes, it's been so bad...our imbecile govt as i've mentioned havne't done one thing...we were promised kits weeks ago...still nada...the only semi normal person here in the NY governor...we in CA are still suffering immensely...shelter in p[lace but why isn't it done in the entire nation...alot of ppl aren't complying...not taking it seriously..ignornat and arrogant....and i'm sure the world has heard the imbecile spring breakers in FL....why the heck the local govt there didn't shut down knowing full well they were coming is beyond me..this is humiliating to be living here....the country has not acted and performign worst than a 3rd world nation....many local hospitals are out of supplies and askign the public for help....there is absolutely no commicaton and collaboration amongst diff levels of govt....the numbers have risen exponentially..NY worst as it's so densely populated but CA is doing not well at all..ppl are infecting each other inadvertently weeks and months ago...and the numbers will only exponentially increase once the damn tests will be given when and if they do arrive....seriously i dont know how anyone would want to live in this country given what is transpiring...l.even the hospitals staff aren't on board with what's going on...do ppl not listen to the radio and watch news...sigh. Pray for us....the numbers will soar exponentially thanks to more arrogant and ignorant Spring Breakers....most businesses in Chinatown will never recover...they have been hurt the past couple months and now with the shelter in place they can't operate....it's truly quite devastating...my heart is so broken.

  34302. 💛🤸‍♂
    1
  34303. I agree with all this, but I think a lot of the point of at least some of these channels is that you actually do not need to speak a language at even a remotely high level to actually speak the language and communicate. You really can learn enough of a language to have a conversation and communicate with someone else from another culture who doesn't speak your native language in a reasonably short amount of time or with not an incredible amount of effort. For example, I don't speak Japanese or Chinese, but I would absolutely skip the Kanjii if I were to learn! In terms of time to communication ability efficiency you would simply get much more for your time (all this coming from someone who spent many years getting just one language to fluency)

I'm starting to learn chinese again (started learnin at the beginning of the year on my own) but felt discouraged since I ALWAYS hear that you have to go to China or so and so country but many of us dont have the resources or education to do so. My town also doesnt have a big chinese community so it's very discouraging.

  34328. Just curious that can you write in Japanese as much as what you can speak? I just started learning Japanese, as a beginner, I found that is easier to start with just speaking by using the English letters to pronounce than learning the Japanese characters...

  34341. Unlike other Westerners, I like natto stirred in rice with raw egg for breakfast or served other ways. A colleague once asked me "What kind of gaijin are you?" as if I'd let the home team down. But I do admit that squid guts, red snapper intestines and other "appetizers" at a very high-end Kyoto restaurant were a challenge. Same at karaoke bar in Yonezawa. Thankfully, I'd ordered a flight of sake tasters with my meal. Once I'd knocked back the first one (like a shooter) the offal wasn't as daunting. But yeah. Food can be a challenge. Fortunately, I'm not super picky. My main challenge is the phlegm-like texture of some Japanese foods. Shudder.

  34348. Wow, you’ve got some guts there Pearl, those areas look rough, must be insane at night! I once managed a Transitional Home for homeless/ex convicts/etc., being transferred to apartments by state and private organizations. Seen all sorts, heard every story in the book, learned things you can only see and hear when living amongst people in these situations. Did you see any social workers out there, trying to get these people into housing, or handing out food, bus vouchers, etc? Did you see private or religious groups out there, trying to help people? It’d be interesting to see just how big, the skid rows are there in Japan. I’ve seen and heard of the skid rows in Las Vegas, L.A., San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Tucson, Phoenix, Philadelphia, and I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of that being from Michigan. And I’m glad you mentioned the huge numbers of elderly in the homeless population, when I was a live in house manager at the Transitional Home, I did see huge amount of elderly coming thru, for all sorts of reasons, but for certain the homeless population is getting older. Excellent Video, thanks again, and stay safe Pearl.

  34369. I somehow think it's impossible to fit in like that, even hafu and foreigner couples' children have troubles fitting in. One of my friends is just 1/4 European, he's native Japanese, never even went out of Japan, looks Japanese, but still feels like he doesn't fit because they notice even the smallest of differences (his hair is a bit on the brownish side and he's a bit taller). He said he struggled a lot until he finally accepted himself as a foreigner and ever since then he actually abused the fact he's a foreigner and used it to his advantage. Hearing these stories from various people just made me make peace with the fact I should just play the foreigner card rather than fit in.

  34370. those critics are just trying to gain fame by criticizing polyglots. critics are just a bunch of laughable hypocrites. it takes skill and practice to learn different languages and it deserves to be praised if one can do so.

  34380. After listening to what was said in the video as well as 100 comments both positive and negative, I must say that it's shocking because people are using their titles as clickbaits and are learning the bare minimum of the language. Its NEVER a bad thing to (try) learning ANY language however its disheartening for when an average learner tries to learn (for example) Cantonese in 1 month and gives up on language learning on the whole because they aren't talented enough. Is there method to the madness or madness to the method? I honestly believe that there are things after listening to many polyglot gathering videos and individual (polyglot) ones as well is that they want to inspire you to take the leap and learn. Finding a method that suits you is the hard part since there are so many, and structure is needed for discipline and self checking. In retrospect, I don't believe Oriental Pearl is jealous or wants to "make bank", I believe that its a matter of picking a language and fall in love with it, not just learning 2 sentences and claim you're a polyglot or you're a master. If you feel inspired to learn by any other YouTube channel, then they did half their job. The other half is to choose a method that suits your learning pattern. I'm feeling inspired to learn languages even more now, and make YouTube videos 📹 ✨

  34381. OP......im from HI and may I understand that it's your parents and not your husband's? I am so glad that your close friends and your "now father in law" was there for the special day. Your husband is so darn lucky to have met and married a beautiful woman such as you. My 2 uncles (on my moms side) also married caucasian/white women. I know a "thing or two" about the possibility of reason why your family did not attend....I lived in this state for the past 60 yrs and there is still sorta "hostility" about history (if you know what I mean). But i can guarantee you and Tommy, once you start having a family.....your parents may want to break that stereotype.....because your kids WILL be so darn naturally attractive and cute! Again....Congratulations on your marriage and love for each other........

  34386. You have a beautiful home and family! I hope you're not discouraged so much by the view count on some of these videos that you stop posting! Sometimes YouTube views rely heavily on the "Recommended Videos" that pop up on people's main page, as some of yours have in the past due to (what YouTube decided was) similar content to "high-profile" accounts like Xiaoma. If you get enough subscribers: these types of videos should receive more notice! Watching you in the mornings before work has become my new routine and I love it! ^_^

  34387. Good job pearl 👍

  34388. Enjoy your videos. Why don't you get a government or corporate job that requires both Chinese and Japanese? You could do very well.

  34391. I appreciate your channel, your experiences, your insight more and more with each of your videos I watch. So inspiring. And you're from Jersey! Ha. Im from New York but feel like it's possible for me too to learn at least one of these languages. Lol

  34394. Your Chinese is better than me and on top of that you speak Japanese. I worked for a Kawasaki for 38 years and went to Japan so many times that I lost count. All I know how to say is arigato and sumimasen. Shame on me.

  34400. Congrats! I'm wondering how your bf Chinese level is now. The sweetness in North America to East Asians is almost toxic to a whole new level. After I moved here, although I can survive on the first bite, its just too sweet for me to take second bite of any American/Canadian donuts, cakes and candies.

  34401. You wrote beautiful Chinese characters/Kanji.
    1
  34402. you see how the attitudes, manners and behaviours changed when you switched from chinese to japanese? Amazing! Anyway, chinese people won't get surprised if you speak their language in other countries. Best reactions would be in USA, even in China they won't get surprised.

  34407. I enjoy your videos more about learning the culture and living abroad including your social interactions just doing normal day to day things. I have questioned those other videos about "quick & easier" ways of learning a language. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

  34415. So basically you are saying that if you don't really study that language in school, you won't get on high level of that language? Because I'm self-taught. I basically learned English over the internet, but what you're saying is pretty interesting. Because I feel like I got stuck on one and the same level and cant go higher. When I watch Netflix, I feel like I only understand like 80-90% of the content. I've set my goals to actually understand to 100% of the content without any subtitles. It doesn't really work out so far. I watch your video where you're switching languages like shoes. God dammit, I feel so stupid. I like this video a lot, thanks for this content. Your camera movements are smooth, with great angles. Thanks for that.

  34424. How do you "study" 50 words a day? I am learning german. have obtain up to A2 level. Now i am self study. focusing about 2-3 hours a day. Mostly listening and reading. my core apps is by l***q. ( I would not reveal it for obvious reasons, but you know what I mean). spend on it about 1 hour a day, and the rest of the hours on random youtube content. watching, reading the german subtitles at the same time, and occasionally translate it if I came across words that I dont understand. but could you elaborate more on how you "study" 50 words a day? flash cards? learn, forget, relearn again? I felt that I have plateud.

  34428. Yaaayy! Finally we find Anming eats something looks healthier than sweets or candies!😆😂.. Well yeah I am totally agree with you. it may be hard making these kind of videos cause you must be lucky enough to find the suitable place and time or friendly people.

Hola amiga, me gustan muchos estos YouTube de idiomas, son de lo máximo o súper, pero debes colocar subtítulos en español si quieres tener más seguidores,ya chis tu amigo hondureño que habla italiano español Inglés, mandarín, y quien sabe cual otro idioma más, ya el subtitular en español, es solo una sugerencia a una mujer tan bella e inteligente como tu mi niña.

  34440. I saw some videos of people who do prank by peaking multiple languages, but most of them speak poor Japanese. They have so much basic grammatical mistakes and their pronunciation is so bad. I never expected those people speak Japanese really high level tbh. 面白いトピック!なんとなくタブーなのかな戸感じていたので、かゆいところに手が届くディスカッションでした。

  34444. To claim that someone is engaging in their language arsenal on social media to gain power, money, fame and sex is such a laughable accusation! The concept of gaining those things is baked into the medium. Whether it's playing music or doing chiropractic, who knows what people will like to watch? If a skill gets clicks, why not? Why hate?

  34451. I learned Japanese and Korean long time ago. But now working in China and need to speak Chinese very funny lol. Although I am trying to gain back Japanese these days. Here is the trick, if you can conjugate the Korean verbs, it will be easier to speak the language. Also try Let's Speak Korean by Arirang TV. Very old but still useful for beginners.

  34471. Those language skills open up the job oppertunities.

  34472. She is 100% right about Japanese teachers of English (JTEs). They will mark shit wrong that isn't wrong. The multiple choice English tests they make up might have 1-4 of the answers as actual correct answers but they want THEIR correct answer. So a native speaker taking the test might get it "wrong" because the answers suck or the question is so amibigious. I used to be an English teacher in Japanese schools and now I do some contract work proofreading English tests made my JTEs...some of the stuff I see makes me crazy. (= It's an uphill battle...on ice, with a weighted backup...blindfolded. ;)

  34473. Tangential to your debate but I'd love to know your opinion... I have really 'gotten into' Japanese and Korean rock music (start at Momoland and finish at Boris and via Yaorenmao and Babymetal on the way). My question is: does the sound spectrum and cadence of Japanese (or Mandarin or Korean) make for great pop/rock? like I'm sure you know people say Italian is the language for classical opera (and English is rubbish for it). Because I often find the sound of these languages so attractive when I listen even if I don't understand a word!

  34482. Love your channel and the impressive skills with languages you have, not to mention all the hard work you’ve put in to learn and expand your capacity. Why are people putting things into space? I’m asking because the North American trend to put balloons into the air or just dump garbage only adds to the debris in our oceans (and wilderness) where most of it ends up. Anyway, thanks for the peak into other places and the reactions to your fluency. Priceless! 😄

  34496.  @OrientalPearl  the tapioca is extracted from the cassava, it can be powdered or balls like sago, which as it should be made for this drink, it powder becomes a dough only with water and salt that bakes in a frying pan like a taco, then put cheese with ham, or condensed milk and coconut, whatever you want.

  34524. Just watched channel yesterday. Actually, I saw it a month ago but Lost it somehow. I love your videos! I think me and you would be friends in real life because we’re both outgoing and exuberant. A lot of people are outgoing but not everyone has so much energy and can be peppy all the time. I had a friend that told me sometimes my energy is too much for her. But we’re also opposites...she’s more introverted and I’m extroverted. I don’t really like the terms introvert and extrovert but that’s how people classify me

  34530. Your films are just fascinating. Thank you for telling these stories.

  34531. That’s so entertaining to watch ! Chinese/Taiwanese seem talkative, Japanese not so much

  34532. Wow... I apparently just binged watch most of your videos subconsciously.... haha 😂

  34533. Awed is not the word I'll use; but rather, astounded, open-mouthed, awestruck, amazed, and flabbergasted! You're so great!!! I'm now super motivated and inspired to the max 🤣 Salamat!

  34536. I am sure that the Japanese locals are surprised and interested to hear that, people/foreigners like you can speak their language.

  34537. The white lady is really sexy

  34538. Like the videos, I've only been learning Chinese for a month and these are great for listening practice

  34541. This put a smile on my face! I was only there for 2 weeks in 2016, but during that time I felt like a Rock Star. People definitely will approach you to try their English. And if you are standing near people at, say, a train station and start to use even broken Japanese with them, you will exchange email addresses, Instagram, Skype, Discord, EVERTHING! It even happens here in the States. I live close to Niagara Falls and visit there many times in the summer. 2 days ago I was there and ran into a mostly Japanese High School Girl tour on Goat Island. They where looking at me and talking in a huddle when one came over to me and started trying her English. Once they saw me smile and start broken Japanese I was surrounded and spent time doing photo ops and info exchange. lol! Looking forward to my return to Japan after COVID!
    1
  34542. Possibly a bit of a weird question but: it looks like most of your roommates are guys, was this weird or at all a concern for you? Also do you have any advice for women going solo to Japan? Ill (hopefully once borders open back up 😭) be studying abroad in Japan next year, and itll be my first time living on my own (Ive always lived with other girl roommates) so Im a bit nervous!

  34563. Indiana has a lot of mixed race people. We also have a pretty diverse population compared to some other states. We generally don't have as many race issues as, say Illinois next door. So Indiana being more welcoming doesn't surprise me tbh.

  34564. He looks Japanese, maybe Okinawan as he is darker.

  34565. Does Lake St. Clair freeze over in the winter? That is, do people play hockey or skate on it in the deep winter?

  34566. You're totally right, America is so multicultural that you wouldn't really compliment someone on their English just for having an accent. Especially in cities there are a lot of ethnic enclaves. You could live here for decades without ever learning much English (which is totally fine). And some of those born here who speak a different language at home retain accents even if they're totally fluent. So you can never really tell who's a foreigner unless they tell you.

  34567. How did you know that woman at 3:28 spoke English?

  34572. Girl, if you got both passports by birth (through your parents), you can keep both. My kids were born in the US, their dad is American and I’m German and they got both passports without any problems or questions. You just first need to apply for your birth certificate in each country, once you got that, passports are a no brainer. Feel free to message me if you have questions
    1
  34573. Wow, your Mid-West English is amazing. (haha)
    1
  34574. That was pretty cool. Funny how you seem to have an equal chill vibe in Japanese, but a lil more pep with your Chinese. You seem pretty humble, I hope you continue to excel in them. 🔥you're gifted but also hard working.
    1
  34575. I've been using Duolingo for a few months now and even though it's not the best it's certainly a start. Once I've finished using Duolingo I think I know where to go next, thanks Anming!

  34576. Thank you for the video. It’s amazing to see all your housemates working together to make a very nice meal. You would never see that in America. Too frigid lazy. My daughter shared a house with 6 other girls going to college. It was disgusting, and no one knows how to cook or clean. Yuck 🤢

  34587. On Young/Ka-neechee-wa! Korean alphabets are pretty easy but speaking is very difficult because of the many different levels of politeness and mannerisms depending on your social/age/gender. Good luck tho, I know you have a knack of language and I admire your intellect.

  34613. I’m actually very surprised that there’s a small population of Chinese people living in Japan. I honestly thought there wouldn’t be any, because the Chinese’s and Japanese's had a terrible past history.

  34614. Pearl has such a beautiful soul. She's one those people you feel, "Wouldn't it be great to befriend her". Not necessarily have 'many' but a small circle of true intimate with Pearl being one of them. A ray of [sun]light you. I see you dancing and letting loose to 'R.E.M - Shiny Happy People' 😅😁 God bless... much love from Botswana 💛💚

  34616. Those parents seem very sweet

  34617. I think moving away from the polyglot stuff and more towards doing ethnographic videos would be great. I liked the in-laws video you did. I think your Japanese audience is likely to be extremely interested in how you fit in to the Japanese family system and how you view Japan. Being a foreigner you can get away with so much in terms of interacting with Japanese folks and documenting it. Maybe you can cover some cultural concepts that most of the rest of the world do not understand while allowing Japanese folks to realize that they can accept you as one of them. I lived in Kobe for 10 years and I enjoy your videos a lot.

  34618. 越来越好。

  34619. just like my mom going to the street market, speak malay/indo in 1 store, speak english in another, speak mandarin to the chinese auntie, and then cantonese to the uncle down the road me? I'm just listening, able to understand most but not as fluent as her. Stuffs like this is pretty common in asia especially southeast asia

  34621. Good video ❤ You all are very polite about it. But let's be adults, here. This is called racism and those two are consistently being racially profiledby there own people. It's sad and infuriating that racism is still so prevalent around the globe. Smh 😢

  34624. There are 2 year olds, who without musical training, can suddenly get up and play a piano they have seen for the first time, at a grade 4 standard. By 6, they have passed musical grade 8.... They have a 'gift'. There are some 10 year olds doing degrees at Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, etc., in a variety of fields, such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, IT etc. They have a 'gift'. About 15 years ago I worked with a lady I will argue was 'gifted' in languages. She spoke & needed (for her career) advanced French, English, Arabic and Farsi. She had previously worked with the British Council doing British examinations overseas (e.g. A Levels), before she was my deputy in the UK. She, in my opinion, was gifted in languages / linguistics. We had a 'trick' we would play (on each other), where I would take her to visit a family for the first time, who she knew spoke another language she did not speak, but she did NOT know what language beforehand. I would not tell her their name, where they lived or anything about them. I would surprise her. One time the language was Hindi, another time, Bengali ( Sylheti), once, Ghanaian 'broken' English (Pidgin), another time, Russian etc. Her trick, was, I would ask the family to speak their home nation language amongst themselves (such as what they each planned to do that day, with each person introducing themselves (name, age, interests what they do, their relationships etc )). My deputy would listen intently for about 5 or 6 minutes, and after a while, she would stop them numerous times, and ask questions about correct use of grammar when speaking their particular language, then ask them to continue. She would then start trying to speak their language at a basic level with them. She always suceeded. I think she had a natural 'gift' in learning languages, like some people are gifted, and can remember and repeat a list of 100 numbers given to them at random from a computer previously. Some of these people who show they know 8, 6 or more languages at a basic level, have no want or need to learn them at an advanced level. Some people who only seek to speak foreign languages at a basic level, may see being familiar with a language in a similar way as some of us who may learn 15 different card games, or 12 computer games...but only at basic levels. Once they have accomplished familiarity at a basic level in language one, they move on. To each their own. Why some people you refer to, pretend they speak certain languages at advanced levels when they don't, you already said why they do it...it may be a way they can make money, while for others, maybe it causes others to admire them in a way they would not otherwise receive. Great vlog, as usual. Live long and prosper !🖖

  34633. wow were they raised in Japan? because they have zero accent when speaking english. they speak so well. And I am wondering if i have the concept of back channeling correct. Is it when someone is speaking and the the other person constantly says " yes, uh huh...and other phrases" during the convo?

  34642. Nice! At least, you tried it and didn't like it which is fine. You don't have to like everything. I hate when people say they don't like something but never had it. How do you know you won't like it if you never had it?

  34643. I have a friend she is Sri Lankan her eyes are deep orange with little touch of brown very unique and beautiful to see her eyes with my eyes. 🧡😭😍 I remember an animator when I was at school he had very clear eyes blue green. Mint green eyes it's wasn't the blue eyes you find everywhere 😭💙

  34645. Keep up posting those videos. Dont care about what other people say. Its just interresting to learn something new. Some peopel learn languages, other martial arts, others learn other things. I learn by myself Japanese, since few years. Woow you learning now Korean to ? Good luck with the studys. I think its little more difficult then Chinese or Japanese ?

  34646. Me as an Austrian whose native language is German, watching a video about a girl speaking Chinese in Japan with English captions turned on because I simply can't understand neither Japanese or Chinese: Interesting

  34649. Pearl,I want to tell you a story of my first love. Sharon Yoo,Korean American,I adored her beyond words. She invited me to her parents home. Her mother was exactly as beautiful as Sharon was,I couldn’t believe my eyes! Her mother made a dinner that was indescribable,I began to get up to get a bit more,and all at once,the family yelled out ‘no!!’ Apparently,this was not acceptable,Sharon’s mother had to serve out more,I had no idea. Ohhh,what a dinner it was,to this day,and I am 52,I was 19 at the time,I cherish that memory,and that Korean perfection. 🥰

  34651. Your awesome! I enjoy your videos and want to learn new languages; I feel like I need to go to a different country and learn by immersing myself in the culture. I feel it would take years to understand and speak fluently by this method, however I think it would be the most organic way to learn. I'm 36 and want to learn a new language but find it difficult to actually think I can do it.

  34674. People are whining and crying too much nowadays. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Simple as that. I actually like that Wouter isn't an expert in a lot of these languages. It shows the learning side of it, and also inspires people to try the language they're learning out with native speakers. Wouter as far as i know has always been honest about not being an expert in a lot of these languages so i really don't understand all the crap he's been getting. People should just stop being snowflakes and watch something else if they don't like it.

  34681. I am terrified that when I leave my home country, I will never find any friends where I go. Now I know this is very unrealistic for e, because I make friends pretty easily. But I know social standards and such are pretty different in Japan. I know that that is where I want to go, I want to live there for a while. But I hope I can either bring a friend or my partner with me, i feel like socially that will help me the most :)

  34682. Anming, I hope you wash your hands after handling the little puppy. Otherwise it is not too hygienic to eat your food without washing.

  34696. Hi, I’m Kei. This video is really nice material for Japanese like me to learn English👍👍 But u’re amazing coz of handling with several foreign language. First I didn’t know you can also speak mandarin so I got really surprised to hear u’re saying 不用客气 or something lol. ちなみに、私も早稲田出身なので嬉しいですが、 アンミンさんは、なぜ早稲田大学と復旦大学に留学しようと思ったんですか？ 他の動画で説明してたりしますか？
    1
  34697. こんにちは、日本人です Maybe, but you speak Japanese, so people will talk to you. Japanese people do not actively try to talk to people who do not speak Japanese. Because they can't speak English very well.

  34698. just the best wishes for the two of you ♥

  34704. For you its 100 times a day for each of them its only once. Last year me and my wife went back to visit in China and went for 2 weeks in Japan in the middle of the trip. one of her friends said "In Japan you can satisfy your tongue but not your stomach in china you can satisfy both" I miss both places

  34731. I love Japan! 😍👍
    1
  34732. This is why i always get defensive when people say i speak Japanese really well, or even when Japanese people say i speak really well, because the truth is, i still feel like i couldn't survive on my own in Japan with my language skills. I recently finished all my N3 studies but i hope to master Japanese until i reach N1 level or native level. I'm also considering to learn a different language after that, i just don't know which one yet 😅

  34740. One group I found super common in Japan was the Germans. If you're staying in business hotels in the various major cities every time you step into a lift or sit down for breakfast at the hotel there's 2 German business folks next to you in super sharp suits. There must be a tonne of business linkages between Japan and Germany, I guess it could be a result of both being tech powerhouses emerging together after WW2.

  34748. Dear Anming, I watched your video several times. :))) what if the news were reported that way? reporting about nothing dangerous, reporting about things that made you smile! I saw a nice quote today: "A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear." and a video that hopefully makes you smile: https://youtu.be/dXXWNgRfV-0 ml, Yves

  34749. society getting ready to end the world istg. Hating on a woman for speaking Japanese?? Cmon now that’s ridiculous it’s like the world won’t hate you if you learn a common language like Spanish or so. Honestly bro the world is mad weird rn.

  34779. for Europeans it's normal to know a lot of languages, a europian knows an average of 3 languages, i know , Noors, Duits, Swedish, Spanish, Italian, France, Wu (Shanghainese), Yue (Cantonese) and my own languages Dutch and Fries from the Nederlands. we get like Dutch and English as main languages on schools, and Duits, Spanish, Italian, France as a side languages on school. Fries i learn from home and it's close to the Scandinavian languages so i picked up Noors and Swedish really fast. I learn Wu (Shanghainese), Yue (Cantonese) for my IT internship in china, Wu is way EZ then Yue.

  34795. My word, being a polyglot must be fantastic! I am Dutch myself and when I was young I learned three foreign languages , but in this ever expanding world with contacts all over the planet I need to study more tongues, of course, to make myself fully understood.However, my advanced age prevents me from picking up other languages easily.. As for you , dear lady from the USA: I saw quite a few of your videos and I'd like to compliment you on your incredible talent of making all the people you want to have a conversation with, feel completely AT EASE. Seeing your enthusiasm was most enjoyable:-). You can wrap people in kindness :-)
    1
  34796. Some nice people.

  34797. Why do ppl give a flying FU¢K about any of this?!?! If you don’t like it then don’t watch. So much unnecessary drama. Like y’all really don’t have more important things to worry about?! 🤨 I’m not even subbed to Oriental Pearl but even I’ve gotten something positive out of the few videos I’ve watched.
    1
  34798. Congratulations to the both of you! You both looked amazing and both looked extremely happy!

  34801. 😎🤙 kudos!

  34802. I also do PR for an integrated resort, and what Anming showed is not even the tip of the iceberg of what the job entails and covers! Not to mention the hours! Definitely interested to see more videos of you at work (great property promo strategy btw 😝) and learn more about Japanese business/office dynamics and language!
    1
  34803. I really want you to know that I really love EVERY single videos you make. I'm a chinese but I got hooked to japan and everything changed. Also I love how the length of conversation you manage with japanese people compare to other youtubers! がんばって! もっとすごい動画をつくる！

  34806. I must say, I really think that your vids come across as pretty real. I think your content is great. As a person that moved from their country to SEA, Its cool to see what other people are doing and sharing their experience of it too.

  34807. I miss Japan. It was always fun messing around with all the international kids and all the funny looks you got. Great time for sure. Like you said Tokyo is definitely a special place.

  34814. I liked the way you put this video together.
    1
  34815. You can always counter that you have a long way to go (which is the case for pretty much anyone learning a foreign language). If necessary, you could then tell those who won’t take the hint, that you won’t consider yourself properly educated in Chinese until you have every dialect down cold (regardless of whether it’s true). To anyone who persists, you can retort that you won’t be satisfied until you’ve engraved all Thirteen Classics (十三經) on your heart. Anyone who persists after that is a troll who’s best avoided.

I never take the money they offer because I take care of them with all my heart as if they are my own grandparents. I love my job just to make them happy on their last days is enough to give me strength in the harshness we live in.

    1
  34849. I did an experiment, I typed in the Youtube search bar 'How to master ........... In thirty days?' I plugged in Chinese and got many examples, I also plugged in chess, math, guitar, singing, and also got a ted talk on how to master anything in 30 days, I did not watch it:) There are content creators that are using these (deceptive) marketing tools in a wide variety of difficult subjects, they all frustrate people and lead them to neglect what it really takes to succeed, which in my opinion is hard dedicated work.

  34853. I love your videos but i have no interest in learning Chinese or Japanese. I like the way you show the community and the people, just as it is. No promotions and no frills, Rusty railways and men sleeping on cardborad. Just people living their lives and talking to each other :) Keep it going.

  34854. It's so funny. Attractive people in the US tend to be more on the rude side. But the environment in Japan seens so different. People are so kind

  34857. No.. she just SAW u giving US DOLLAR and want ur US dollar too. Even then I might be wrong but it could be she was curious just because u speak chinese. Even my mother will keep looking at u when u start speaking our language. I know my mom a lot. It is just plain curiosity.

  34873. Good to see you uploading again. Hope all is well.

  34874. Most people are used to hear their language being spoken, so they will just continue to speak to you in the language they can express themselves best in. That's the reason why you seldomly get very shocked reactions.

  34889. I am Colombian and I learn English in the university and the people say me why you learn English you live here and things like that but I think this language change my form of see life and I don't need subtitle and I have access to information, books and others things only one language, imagine know others languages, I try to learning Korean because I like kpop and kdrama and Japanese for anime German for rammstein I think if you can comunicate with others and understand what they say and answer what is the problem I don't like google translate or others apps

  34905. I choose my Chinese name according to the auspicious Chinese names of the year of the horse like I born in the year of horse. My Chinese name is 蓮龍王。 Chinese people stay happy when we speak in Chinese mandarin to them, once in a live video on Facebook I sang the Chinese name of my friend from Taiwan and she was so happy with her reaction.
    1
  34906. I wish I was a NATURAL polyglot. My wife could converse in Korean (her natural), English, Japanese, and Manderin. She started picking up Spanish when she came to the USA. I am always awed by this ability!

  34911. im in the .8% but hey wish you all the best abroad and in the interwebs algorithm
    1
  34912. Really loved the video. Found it very informative. And I agree with you, a lot of other vloggers don't interact much with Japanese people while living in Japan. They talk about it, and what to expect. But they don't really do like what you did here. Which personally for me is more helpful. So that's a subscribe from me. :3

  34913. Omg your Chinese and Japanese is so accurate!

  34923. I get that a lot, with the hate comments. But funny thing is I dont get to me, because if they dont like it then I'll just dance the haters away 😁🤣

  34924. Think I’m addicted. I’ve subscribed to Laoshu, xiaoman, Chris (forgot his Chinese name) and now this girl. Where will it end?
    1
  34925. Wow...bringing back memories to me, @OrientalPearl, as I told you on IG that I was in Kamaishi City a few years ago. Love the visit to the Rokando Caves, as you must be tall, for I did not hit my head once when I visited. But seeing the empty parts of the city brought tears to my eyes, as my last visit there was for a funeral visit for a good friend I lost in the tsunami. The soba noodle restaurant was relaxing, but I thought it was more polite to "slurp" your noodles when eating, which is the usual Japanese custom that was taught to me. Anyway, great video, and thank you for your efforts to bring nationalities to understand each other a little better. :-)

  34936. こんにちは。その食べ物ははっぷんぐらい何ですか。　(I'm still learning Japanese, so I apologize if that's not correct grammar/word choice) I remember eating it on my trip to Japan in December when I went to Takao-san, but I can't remember what it was called.

  34955. Haha omg so one time in 2018 Sam and I also hung out with a group of kids when we were walking around in Ikebukuro and one of the kids said the same thing to him about his belly and I was laughing so hard!
    1
  34956. What an adventurous lifestyle! I don't think I'd have the stomach to decide to move to the other side of the planet to immerse myself in a completely new culture. Did you know the language relatively well before you traveled there in 2016?
    1
  34957.  @OrientalPearl  Oh wow! Good for you though! You stuck it out through the rough times and now you're thriving! Makes me want to be more adventurous and take some risks in my own life!

  34958. Any tips for finding places like that place where they sell vegetables cheaply? Searching for a place for like ages. Could read the sign on the 野菜直売(could not read all of the sign,because some part of it got cut off), maybe if I search on that? Also love the interactions with people in such places!

  34962. Wen people tell you your Mandarin or Japanese is really good, you are so humble. I think you are so cool.

  34963. My family is from Fujian, I am offended by that Chinese lady
    1
  34964. 'none of the things i've done in these videos is difficult' introverts like me who are afraid of saying hello to neighbours would like to have a word with you

  34965. Another great video. Kirby da-yo.

  34966. I know we're having our issues now or whatever but I am so grateful to have grown up having the diversity we have in the United States

  34967. I understand just some basic phrases in japanese. Chinese not a word but maybeI I will catch up some words in time. Big plus for me is that I train english with you too :D My native language is czech. You have my support young lady :). You are wery pleasant to watch and listen to. GR8 WORK and thumbs up for you. :)
    1
  34968. You must have come from a wealthy family to have done all this traveling. Most of us don't have the resources to just pack up and leave their home country to follow a dream ! I'm not criticizing you for it, just stating a fact. These types of dreams can't be pursued with out money, connections or probably both !
    1
  34969. I want to go to Japan so badly. So so badly!!!
    1
  34970. One of the best sights I've seen in Japan was literally 5 minutes after leaving Tokyo Station upon arriving, when I saw two men on a massive trike painted all over in cow spots, with the men in cow costumes taking pictures with anyone who wanted one.
    1
  34971. That camera is definitely sugoi dekai.

  34972. 私なら、ちゃんとミスを指摘されたい派です。そんな風にちゃんと捗ると思っておりますからですね。「指摘しようものなら、相手を傷つくかもしれないので、とりあえず嘘をついた方が無難」という日本の方の善処気質は少し自ら気になります。正直の方がいいと思っておるものですから。ですが、そういう方は少なく居れば別に平気だとも思っております。
    1
  34973. Congrats !?!?!?!?!?!??! So happy for both of you!
    1
  34974. Yeah there is a lot of polyglots in youtube even with million of subs. But they can speak like 4 to 5 language perfectly fine. But when they start like shock the locals bla bla bla, stup!d bla bla bla title/thumbnail (like they are the most impressive genius in the world) with like maybe 8 language or more, it's just for views. They just memorized few basic lines and that's all let's go to market/restaurant/street and chit chat chot chut chet lalalalala and then when the local said other than basic lines, they just blurred(sometimes they cut the video) why need to be cut, afraid? embarrassed because people will know that you only know less than 5 basic lines?
    1
  34975. I totally agree with you about knowing the norms of a culture where you visit. Loved today’s video 👍🏾
    1
  34976. The comment you made at the end of the video about how "most people just don't want to give up their free time" is so so so true for me. For months I've chosen to watch Netflix or re-watch YouTube videos I've already seen, instead of studying Korean which is my language of choice, when I just want to be able to do what you do. I really admire your language speaking abilities and the hard work it took to get there and it inspires me to study more. Love your content! Keep being you!
    1
  34977. i loved this video! its amazing that you guys can make ppl happy by just walking around with (an epic) handmade r2d2, did he say it took him 6yrs? thats alot of commitment and it payed off, love you and all you do keep at it!

  35000. People are going to hate others for their own shortcomings. I envy but don’t hate and wish if anything I could speak many languages! Now the problem that they’re having about “well why film it!?” Answer is WHY TF NOT!? You all have a talent I say make some money from it and if you put it to furthering your talent than all the more to you! Listen I’ve heard of plenty of people (majority women) selling their bath water, foot pictures and ever showing their vajayjays and making thousands weekly but people are going to hate for Speaking multiple languages and making videos out of it!? Get out of here! I say keep doing the great things you are doing and continue doing you! 🙌🏼

  35005. Only getting scammed in Greece but it was my first time traveling, lost 200 euros but learned a good lesson :) Oh and once feeling like maybe I would die in a blizzard in Iceland after ending up on my own on the first day of a few days hike, then in the middle of it stumbling on a stone with a memorial plaque for someone who had died there a few years earlier, in a blizzard, one day off from the day it was. But it ended up not being as bad as it actually seemed and I soon after made it to the cabin.

  35018. Totally agree small classes are better & not as stressful as in big cities. I love ❤️ 🇯🇵 county side including villages and towns even the smaller cities I wouldn’t mind living in 🇯🇵 . I saw last year I think it was beginning of Fall on Only In 🇯🇵 or his Go YouTube Channel on the same very Learning School 🏫 but it had to been summer the weather was better and he even want to the place where people can stay to I think it was a doorm type but it was on the side of the Main Street. He had one of the male teachers on there to. I would only go to Tokyo & Osaka to visit then back to the country area. 👍📸 also Time Stamp 2:31-2:34-2:46 anime version 😂 Nooooooooooo! my mochi ! but it has a little taste of shoe heel to it. 👍🇯🇵📸

  35023. sugoi desu ne! how could you speak japanese so well that my jaw dropped when you started switching to J.... keep it up!
    1
  35024. I found in my time living outside Tokyo that so long as you're polite and you attempt some of the language with them, you're generally going to be pretty positively accepted, even if your language skill only amounts to be a few words, they really appreciate the effort. Also, bring a notepad or some way of writing with you, a lot of Japanese are pretty shy about speaking English, but can write very well.
    1
  35025. Everyone has an accent. There is some sort of standard American English that American journalists are taught to imitate. So Charile Berens a journalist from Milwaukee had to take a speaking class to change his accent. In the end he decided to capitalize on it and exaggerated a northern Wisconsin accent becoming a YouTube sensation (at least in Wisconsin) with his Manitowoc Minute channel. I from Montana was beloved by my Chinese students because I spoke English so slowly due to my drawl. However, my Mississippi cohort was disliked. Hey, at least he was teaching in Southern China.

  35049. He sounds like my former boss (native japanese). On my first job, I said to myself... I love watching anime and I want to learn the language, maybe I should work for a Japanese firm. Man, they speak soooo different from those anime characters lol. It was so fast and so fluid and so hard to understand xD. Btw I didn't learn how to speak nihonggo even after 3 yrs of working there. It's also funny how I only got to know what kind of software I was actually maintaining after 2yrs working there. XD I never understood the letters, it was never properly turned over. So glad the actual codes is in english tho some of them is in Romanji.

  35062. My wife is Japanese ,and I've been to Japan a half dozen times. I'm on and off on learning the language. I know hiragana and katakana and a few phrases. Embarrassing really! Japanese people are so kind when I speak. I just say konichiwa and they praise me on my Japanese speaking ability. My wife grounds me in reality and tells me how much I suck. Listening to this woman speak three languages is awesome.

  35074. I don't know if you will ever see this but you are honestly my inspiration and you got me started on learning Japanese and now I am learning 7 languages because I love to learn them. I just want to say thank you so so so much for just being you and sharing your love of making friends with different languages with everyone! I now have amazing friends from China, Japan, Spain, Malay, and Korea. I am moving to Korea in a year and a half and that has been my goal for 11 years but I just didn't have any big motivation to learn Korean just yet but now I am studying every single day. Thanks and I love you!

  35080. So, as you can tell by my sign name, I like hangug. But, it seems I like many languages as of late. I do have spiritual brothers and sisters world wide, but as of a year now, I've turned my attention to Asia. Your Chinese is really good, but switching languages is sidetracking my German, for that is actually my familial history, from Germany, but I've never left america so I have northern and southern English, spanish, some korean, and some German. I actually times in to hear you speak japanese.

  35082. Japan house is a lot like the illegal rooms around queens ny. Every floor is divided into 4 or 5 rooms. With 3 or 4 floors plus the basement it gets crowded.

  35083.  @OrientalPearl  they busted a housing inspector in nyc for having just this kind of thing. No problem unless someone gets a new York Post reporter involved
    1
  35084. I take it you are speaking Mandarin rather than Cantonese. A friend of mine from mainland China said that learning Mandarin was fairly easy because the Chinese grammar is very simple compared to most other languages, but learning to read the characters would be difficult for a grown person. I became fluent in French and German in 5 years. I tried Japanese, but I found it very difficult.

  35086. It's kind of funny. I've travelled all over the world for work, for which I am blessed. When they get into groups, I can discern exactly what they are saying. Nothing bad about me. I am a giant human being so talking mess to me wouldn't last long. Entertaining though.

  35096. This is silly since I'm just a viewer, but I'm so proud for the 1M subs for you. Always such nice content and then getting married and moving houses... No joke I hope you have kids and share how it is to have kids born from parents of different countries and how that turns out to be. I know this is a bit of a "simping" thing from me, but honestly and also as you've shown on your channel, it's not easy being "half" and growing up in Japan. I wonder how that evolves across the years/decades. Just cheers and happy to be here for your videos :)

  35099. It feels like your Japanese has improved from your earlier videos. I'm so jealous of the brains you polyglottal geniuses have and how quickly you pick up and become natural at foreign languages.

  35125. Is your Japanese more advanced than what you spoke in the video. I think my level is about the same, or little below the conversations you had in your last few Japanese videos. I'm a little more confident and excited that I will have fun if I visit Japan. For the longest time I was worried my language skills would not be enough.

  35126. I would have fun with the question "Why do you speak so well?... " I'd answer: "Military Interrogator. .. " :D

  35146. I was so waiting for you to say in plain English but you caught yourself lol 06:41. Honestly, I feel like this was more informative and I guess culturally revealing? It is interesting how in America it's considered rude not to look someone in the eye and there it's off-putting or awkward. But obviously it's nuanced, some places here you want to avoid eye contact..
    1
  35147. A fun channel, this is my first viewing. 80% of the world has brown eyes, 10% blue, the other 10% every other color, amber being the rarest iirc. My eyes change from blue/green to green. As the pupil dilates the iris compresses and the pigment's color can shift. I'm an old guy and envy you. To dance in Tokushima is my dream.

  35148. So glad it's all going good. It's hard enough in this crazy world right now even with inlaws getting along. The bigger family support system the better

  35152. Hey Anming Since this was filmed in March, did you go to immigration again for another extension? I live in Japan but got stuck here in Korea now. It’s been almost 4 months but I keep getting extensions because I do not want to return to America. I think if I do, the chances of me going back to Japan are even slimmer :(

  35167. That's what I hate about most foreigners in Japan's channels because they don't speak Japanese or speak very, very little Japanese. And most of then are white... they're not used to being "discriminated" when really, they're just not used to being the minority lol.

  35189. Yeah, I get that too every time I speak Japanese. I does get a bit annoying after a while because really, I only know a little bit here and there, and while I deeply appreciate them stating my Japanese is good, it also puts me on the spot, and I get nervous to speak. I am very shy, and even in English, I am quite scared to speak out

  35195. My daughter is learning Japanese at her high school in America but wasn’t getting much practice talking in Japanese. She’s been using iTalki, which has been helping with speaking. HelloTalk helps with writing in hiragana, katakana, and Kanji. Generally, Japanese teenagers seems to be very shy about practicing in English via video chat on HelloTalk. So she finds herself texting them mostly on the app. In the area we live in America, a suburb of Pennsylvania, there are a lot of Chinese, Koreans and Southeast Asians here. There are hardly any Japanese people to practice speaking to. So you’re lucky you have native Japanese people to practice with!

  35208. First of all CONGRATS, you deserve this chance, and don't get me wrong, I think everyone deserves a chance to start somewhere. I couldn't find a job in Spain (where I'm from) cause I never had enough experience or was an expert at a particular field. So I moved to Germany, to see if I'm lucky this time. I had really good grades so one lab called me and said they were really interested but then I arrived and they said no cause I don't have enough experience with their equipment... It can really be depressing having studied so much and be willing to accept anything as long as you get that experience and are useful but they won't hire you... What's more, those guys even questioned my intentions cause I had studied languages at university before becoming lab tech. We all need one chance, nobody is born an expert. So thank you for posting this, really <3 Thank you friend Anming :)

  35213. Glad you made out alright. Was in Hong Kong couple years back and realized there's a 7 day restriction for Chinese passports. Went to speak to Immigration and, unfortunately for us, they wouldn't let us stay the extra 3 days until our flight to Japan so my wife and I had to do the border dance into Shenzhen and back. Negotiating with immigration is no joke and having things work out like this is not the norm. You really lucked out.

  35222. I have studied 17 languages, but they are all over the road. Like, I am pretty sure I could order a coffee in Samoan (ironic, since I don't like coffee) but ask me to do anything else? Not so much. Of those 17 languages, I tend to measure the ones that I can watch un-subtitled tv in as my best. (There are 7 of those.) I don't measure by speaking because speaking ebbs and flows. I have a degree in French and Spanish. When I did my degree, I wrote a whole thesis in a foreign language and I worked giving tours in French and Spanish. Last year, having not so much as sneezed at Spanish for a decade, I had to speak to a South American ambassador and made a booboo that will haunt me even after I die. I am really reluctant to use the word "polyglot" though. I prefer plurilinguist. According to Wikipedia, "A person is considered competent in plurilingualism when they can speak in one language while understanding another; and can switch between languages when appropriate and/or necessary." Every single day, I use 3 languages. There was a point where I used to interact with 6 every day. So it's difficult for someone to argue that I am not plurilingual because I am living that life. But with the term polyglot, there are so many opinions about exactly what level of fluency you need to maintain and people are always skewering polyglots for making any mistakes. Honestly, native speakers make mistakes, so why can't non-natives? I'm sure there is a genius or 5 that can speak a whole bunch of languages and all of them are perfect. However, having interacted with some of the big names, I think it is much more common to have 3 or 4 languages that are pretty much effortless and having to reach for the rest. Also, I think monolinguals being impressed by multilinguals goes both ways. Sometimes, they are underwhelmed because of one or two mistakes. I think bi- and tri- linguals often fall into that trap too. Barring the rare genius (again), you just can't maintain 20 languages the same way you can maintain 2. Having said all of that, I agree that there are a lot of people out there with phrasebook languages milking them for all they are worth. I have decent competency in a lot of languages so I can usually see the ones that they speak really well, the ones they are reaching for, and the ones that they are bluffing in. I don't worry that much about the advice they offer though, because "to each his own." I'm in Japan and language teaching here leaves a lot to be desired. Yet, some people go through that system and come out the other end fluent somehow. Similarly, some of what I do isn't what most people do. The last time I was studying only one language at a time I was 9. Since I have been in double digits, I have always studied at least 2. Being that weirdo, I know that it doesn't have to work for me to work for you. In closing out this massive essay, I would like to say thanks for this video. I think that this needed to be said especially for monolinguals just starting out. Hopefully some day, I will also get around to Youtubing, but I also live in Asia, and you know how the netizens and the work climate is here, so I need to figure that all out before I start.

  35227. I use a paper clip. Will not stab you and hooks the wax in its loop. Or I use the lid off a biro. It's kind of hooky but can stab yourself. Bit dodgy if you are not used to it. Hospitals use a mini vacuum. Never had but saw it. Edit: that is where a bath wins out over a shower. Submerge in the hot water and wax shifts itself.

  35237. lol some people got mad cos you speak other languages? I can't even imagine being that bitter about someone else's success. What actually stands out for me about your channel is your conversations are in depth and that you're clearly proficient. Some polyglots, and I mean no disrespect to them, just being honest, film themselves having A1/A2 interactions in many languages but without the same depth, it's mostly contextual or day to day needs and conversation. Personally I believe a B2 and above (which is probably an old HSK 6) is a good and fair general standard for effective communication and collaboration in the workplace, obviously it would need to be higher for some contexts. I use it as the standard for claiming effective bilingualism in most circumstances, but that's just me.

  35240. そう！"日"と"人"の発音が日本人にとって（少なくとも私にとっては）すごく難しいです。アルファベットの表記だと"ri"と"ren"ですけど、英語のRの発音とは違うように私には聞こえる。"zhi"と"chi" に関しては同じ発音に聞こえるので、より難しい。

  35241. I unsubscriebed you because you always put this annoying smileys when it becomes interesting 😒
    1
  35242. 1st, I congratulate you for the astounding level of determination you must have to learn not only Chinese, nut Japanese as well. 2nd, I am sooo jealous. Everything you said is true. I've been working on my Spanish for over ten years, but I wouldn't even put myself at an intermediate level. A simple introduction, asking directions, navigating a menu... But a discussion on religion, politics, or even a simple doctors appointment would be nearly unmanageable. I just don't have the vocabulary. IMO, you really have to immerse yourself in the language - move to the country and be forced to communicate entirely in that language. I know that English is the default language of pilots and air traffic controllers around the world and that much of the scientific communities also default to English. (I am NOT saying that the world should just speak English...) Do you think that we will eventually see a decline in the number of spoken languages as we become less nationalist and more globalist? Will some of these amazing languages go the way Latin did? How much of the culture do we lose when we lose a language? Will we see the end of the Euskeran language by the turn of this century? What languages do you see as "at risk"? I'm just curious about your opinion from the stance of a language educator. ❤
    1
  35243. Wow .... I am so impressed with your language skills. In addition, you are pretty and charming. I stay loyal to your channel

  35244. Wish I knew you guys were in Chicago! My hometown. Nice vid! Keep it up!

  35245. This just takes me back when I talked English when I was 3 (I’m swedish) since I was self taught I always got so many compliments and even from the people that were grades higher than me always said “this girl is better at English than me and I’m the one with English classes” or “When you’re older you’re gonna get an A in english” it was crazy 😂

  35246. Hi Oriental Pearl, I loved your video. It has given me more confidence to keep on, keeping on with the Mandarin. I am loving it. Considering taking up Japanese, also.
    1
  35247. OMG. Good luck with Finnish XD I studied it for a (short) while and spent a month in Rovaniemi with local friends, so I understand a bit of standard Finnish and a bit of the Kemi dialect. I reckon the ONLY easy-ish things about Finnish are that the consonants and vowels always sound exactly the same, no matter where they're placed in words, and that every single letter written is read (like, if there's a double "p", you always pronounce it pausedly in order to make it clear that there are two letters). But let me tell you, few languages have such emphatic-sounding swear words like Finnish. It goes waaay beyond prkl hahaha

  35276. HAPPY NEW YEAR! So, we did not get to see much of the in-laws' reactions to you; does his Mom think you are too tall for him or is she totally okay with all of this? Does she have reservations about your relationship at all or is she very hands-off because he is a grown man and can handle himself? It seems like his Dad really likes you (AT LEASET enough to have subscribed to your YT channel... That's pretty cool). Did you talk about what things will be like in the future? Are they expecting grandchildren from you both? What will it really be like as a 'mixed' married couple (no matter where you live)? Obviously, you don't have to answer this stuff. I was looking forward to the deeper conversations but I do understand that this is a Christmas/ New Year video so of course maybe the deeper stuff has to wait for a while. I suppose all of that stuff could make good videos in the future, or not, if you don't want. Of course none of us know what will happen yet. I really want to see how this plays out but obviously, I would much rather know that you will be happy in your life, over having to know all the details. You have me SO interested! I don't want to interfere at all, I just want more information (which of course, you are not obligated to give at all, that's fine). I hope the YouTube channel doesn't become intrusive to the relationship, especially because of curious idiots like me. This is AMAZING and I hope only the very best for all of you! <3

  35278. Haha wonderful. I never heard of FDU until your channel presence.🫡🫡

  35279. It just amazed me how people get offended so easily. For example if they watch someone speaking a good level of foreign Language , they may say, why are you doing this? You wanna Bragg of your skill, you wanna prove you're better than others, don't tape it you are making everyone uncomfortable. And then we have the other side. Those who think they are entitled on how a polyglot should be, and what path they must follow if you wanna get consider into their polyglot group. For all that I would say Really? We learn a Language to get to know people, their culture, background, etc. Why are you trying to encapsulate polyglot ' skills into a categories

  35282. I'm not surprised by the Japanese elders reaction. Someone told to me that there's an unwritten rule by the Japanese that 'Foreigners who came to their country should learn their native language. Because they sure as not won't adjust to the ones who decided to migrate there'. And it is super effective because there's like 95% of foreigners who adapt to their language rather than the other way around. 😁😄😆

  35291. Anming’s channel is sooooo much better than Xiaoma’s. Don’t get wrong, I like Xiaoma’s content, for the most part, but Anming is on another level. I think her skills are way beyond other Chinese language channels. Now let’s get this channel to 100k subscribers!!

  35292. 4:00 Right away: He's probably not an ice skater. Figure skating is also prevalent in Japan, but I guess the crowd don't see them in action. 4:08 It's only slightly above 4 degrees Celsius (wind chill not factored in), so I guess he lived in the warmer side.

  35297. Your channel about to explode! I really enjoy watching all of your vlogs.

  35298. You are a linguistic goddess! I spent a decade learning Japanese while working in an Asian market in my teens and early 20s. I was pretty good tbh but after only a year of Mandarin, it's already far surpassed my Japanese 😭 How!? If anyone reading this is intimidated about learning Mandarin, trust this Mississippi white boy when I tell you it's really not very hard! Added bonus is that depending on the restaurant, you can sometimes request food that's not exactly on the menu like 水煮牛肉 😁

  35308. My pool spa heats up to 102 degrees and that is a comfortable hot. I don’t think any spa in the US gets hotter than 102. I bet your bath was much hotter. My daughter grew up in Bloomfield Hills and I was in Detroit many times every year traveling from Los Angeles. I know how cold a Michigan winter can be. I think what was worst than the snow was the freezing rain and the lack of street and highway maintenance like on I95, Telegraph and Woodward Ave. I want to visit Japan someday plus I would like to explore more of Italy away from the typical cities like Venice, Florence and Rome. I hope traveling for pleasure will get better soon.

  35315. Just like yourself, i'm usually never on Reddit. It's literally a waste of time. Among 1000 people, there's always 5 to 10 that dislike you for whatever reason, or choose to misinterpret you, or are just generally people that like to spread negativity, and sometimes they just flock together on Reddit. The only option is to ignore them, every energy spent of them is a wasted effort. But thanks for making the video anyway :)

  35321. No one chooses where they were born, what race, nationality, etc. I think as long as it’s done with a good deal of respect and understanding of the culture and tradition I think it’s fine. Obviously I’m not Asian, so idk how much my opinion matters in this context, but I think it’s dumb to say you can’t do that because you aren’t a certain nationality etc. That’s different than those who are just ruining something because they don’t take the time to learn about it. Japanese people have embraced western culture, the west has embraced Japanese culture. At the end of the day we’re all just humans who do things differently and can learn from each other.
    1
  35322. Thanks for this video ❤ I was dreading watching this when I saw it in my feed but was pleasantly surprised! I think a lot of people misunderstand the curiosity of Asians and the bluntness from the Chinese in particular. A lot of it isn't malicious but just a difference in culture where they are more straightforward. I don't think it's inherently wrong to make assumptions about others, so long as you're open to changing them and not treating them as inferior. It's the constant resistance to changing opinions and views of minorities that I personally have a problem with.

  35364. I think you should explain more on why americans don't comment much on an assumed foreigner speaking good english. Its not just awkward- people can quickly assume you are being racist. But maybe you don't want to get into that- I just tried to explain it here and gave up. Our history (and present much of the time) is fucked, and the affect its had on our society is beyond complicated.

  35367. Jessica, don’t listen to those nay sayers. Ignore them. You are doing nothing wrong. I am rooting for you! That whole American cultural appropriation thing is unnatural here in Japan. Japanese people are generally very open and accepting. I’m an American and have lived in Japan for over 55 years. I have raised my son here. My son is half too but we raised him in the Japanese system. There was some discrimination mostly towards me at school perhaps. But as I participated more in school activities, that went away.

  35374. I really love your videos, you show that a lot of chinese are warm and friendly people, unlike all the Western medias who demonize China and his citizens all the time. Nowadays people usually love everything about south Korea and Japan and hate China, but they don't even know that maybe 80 % of the Korean and japanese culture came from China ...

  35375. I've noticed that foreigners who are really good at Chinese usually say "还行吧" "还可以" "还好吧" or something like that when Chinese people compliment them on their Chinese. But if people who are so good at Chinese reply like that, what would be a good thing for beginners to say if someone tells them that their Chinese is good?

  35376. “You can sit here and drink it too” Aww, he wanted your company. He didn’t want you to leave! I don’t blame him, you’re such an interesting person! May I take you to a quick lunch once this virus calms down? We live an hour away from Tokyo. I would love to have my daughter take a picture with you! Yes, I’m a star-struck fan! 🤩

  35379. Once I get my business in the US (Virginia) to be able to sustain itself without me needing to be here physically I want to move to Japan for a year or two (Maybe longer). I am learning Japanese now for this venture but also because I have always wanted to learn Japanese. What advice would you give someone having never been to Japan before wanting to move there and start their own business in there? Love your video's!

  35380. I like the Ikebukuro area too but you film on the West side a lot. You don't like the East side?

  35381. I love your channel! discovered it like a year ago but I still watch your videos when I have free time :3

  35382. You can really tell some thing I’ve seen many times before mom is raised in her generation are definitely amazed and baffled by the different cultures which will naturally make them uncomfortable you could see her uncomfort but at the same time you could see her happiness for yourself she’s very proud of you I know that you will cherish her as you should for the rest of her life take care of her she’s a very sweet woman she went out Of her way to make you happy by putting herself in her uncomfortable zone but thank you for the video very good content

  35383. Haha interesting. Glad you cover more Americans living abroad.

  35384. Wrong directions are definitely a real thing. Went to Hiroshima. Asked a police officer how to get to the botanical garden. He points to the left so I start walking in that direction. 2 hours later I'm back where I started (managed to walk in a big circle). Realize it was actually right across the street from where he went me in the wrong direction. By then it was closed already. Super lame but the aimless wandering was fun and everyone there was super friendly.
    1
  35385. My one big issue with such videos is when people falsely label that they speak "perfect" (insert language here), when it's not really close to that - not your channel btw, which does things respectfully.

  35386. I guess I was rare ..I worked in Japanese company for 5 years in design + tech ... interesting to say the least 👀

  35387. 是不是找人说话的刺激感和成就感让你学会语言的？

  35388. I feel like a lot of the 'shock' is in the States vs Americans living in foreign countries. i.e. people in Chinatown are shocked when someone white speaks any dialect of Chinese. I'd like to see you shoot this same video in a North American Chinatown (SF, NY, Vancouver BC) and see what kind of reactions you'd get.

  35389. I can’t wait to see the Korean videos!!!

  35391. that black girl is gorgeous though

  35392. Oh my, that just reminded me of being on the people mover in downtown Detroit. We would be coming from a Red Wings game and (somehow) decide that going to the casino afterwards was a good idea on a work night. So many drunk people packed into that little sardine can.

  35393. How common are big earthquakes in japan? i know earthquakes are common but big ones shouldnt be that common, right??

  35394. Your chinese is amazing! How many years did you study the language?

  35395. You like bubble tea alot must be nice

  35396. Chinese people are always under the impression that you might be Russian and you are always surprised by it!! It is understandable (from a Chinese perspective), considering the fact that China shares a border with Russia, 3,000 miles in length. Seeing a white, blonde lady, speaking Chinese, they immediately assume that you might be Russian! Nothing personal!!! I myself witnessed that a lot, in NYC! I live in a Russian predominant neighborhood, and every time I go shopping in one of their stores, they would start speaking Russian, to me. It all went down based on my look and appearance in general! I guess that is the nature of humans, trying always to label and categorize you, somehow!!! I was a little bit annoyed by it, in the beginning, but shortly I got over it! On the other hand, I would go to a Chinese place and I would hear Chinese people speaking a fluent Russian, and the other way around, too! However, they'll never expect you, to be an American! That's not going to be their first guess.That'll NEVER happen! Their reaction is priceless, though! Love your channel! Keep it up, and STAY SAFE!!!!! P.S. This is a comment to your June 7th video!! Sorry, wrong posting place!!!!! It's the pandemic, damn it!!!!!!!! Chris/NYC

  35397. Hi Anming, after our president has been missing for 19 days he addressed the nation night before last. Didn't say much about moving to level 4 from level 5. Police and military violence on people, mostly white it seems is still going on here. The economy might reopen month end. Some businesses are open under the essential services rules but we are still waiting for the level 4 rules to be published.
    1
  35398. Aye we got an Anming origins story about why she started to learn Chinese! Awesome as always.

  35403. 我发现了大部分的中国人认为我们外国人只会说英语，但一点汉语不会说。😂

  35404. As a non-American, I can assure you that Yankee is a negative word in English, outside of the USA. It gets used as in "those god-damned yanks!" Etc....

  35406. Hello the, I hope you're doing well. I really like this girl. I am not sure how I am supposed to properly contact her outside of here. I'm not sure why but she has brought me to my attention and I feel as if I like her very much I am not sure where to go with this

  35407. Off-topic, but I'd definitely date that rickshaw guy at 1:25

  35409. Hi anming, do you think it’s harder to learn Japanese without spending money if so.
    1
  35410. Hi hi. Long time no watch and I really missed your content 😂 I adore how you approach subjects like this. Super intelligent and so interesting. I agree with your ideas !!
    1
  35411. Went to Japan in January and after 3 years with the covid, Japanese forget their english but not their kindness and service whatever happen. I with my JLPTN5 i was able to understand and speak short conversation and casual. But i encouraged me to do the next level. Because Japanese showed me that my start in Japanese was and is good.

  35412. Fascinating! Love what you do! 1M subs. As they say in America "You Go Girl"

  35414. I went a little nuts trying to figure out the difference between 包む and 包む. I eventually gave up. I use HelloTalk more for the ability to make short posts in a foreign language or reply to others. I use Tandem for language exchanges. One problem is that I live in a small town, Tucson, Arizona and there's either one person within 100 miles of me who is a native speaker of the target language or nobody. I haven't seen ore than one and usually it's zero.

  35434. I'm glad you stuck with your language to such mastery. I've seen others who claim to be polygraphs but they can only say the absolute minimum of yes, no, hi, bye.

  35435. hey you actually look like Annie from Attack On Titan :)

  35436. I don’t think we talk about how pleasant you are, and that laughter of yours!🤣🤣 It’s contagious! I got so happy watching this. You know you’re the one that led me to Pimsleur language app, it’s absolutely my favorite! I honestly cannot thank you enough, your channel is comforting 🧘🏾‍♀️❤️😘

  35438. 3.45 Those signs: 'please ask if you want to take a picture' - is that common in Japan or is that chap just a bit camera-shy? Do people just turn up and start taking pictures?
    1
  35439. Many foreigners can speak Japanese，but they can't read Chinese character（漢字/汉字)、漢字/汉字 looks like pictures for them，it‘s so difficulty to remember and write 漢字/汉字、i think you are not only can say japanese but also can read 漢字/汉字，because your Chinese is very good.
    1
  35440.  @OrientalPearl  Agreed! I am low-key watching your videos and I could tell this channel is really promising. I hope you consider introducing yourself, listing your favorite foreign foods and discussing about learning different languages in your upcoming vlog contents because we'd like to know more of you! Love lots ❤️❤️❤️

  35441. This is great. I personally have been looking forward to learning a few things regarding working in Japan. I would love to see a series of this.

  35442. Haha. It remind me first few weeks in America middle school....

  35443. I would have like to gone to high school in Japan for a year. But at least I got to live there, can’t wait to go back!

  35444. What city were you in? I hope to visit Japan after the pandemic is over.
    1
  35445. How long did you live in Harbin? That's my hometown lol
    1
  35446. I can sooo relate to what you were saying about you being somewhere and still treating you different. Everytime I talk people right away say "your not from here are you?" Just because of my accent... I know their slang and everything, but my accent gives it away... yeah its annoying every time they ask me that... In my head I am always like "Here we go again same question..." I try to talk using fewest words possible lol.. hate when they try to overcharge me on stuff too... -_-

  35455. Do people from the PRC use the term 學姐 to describe a female that studied at the same school ahead of oneself? That’s how I would normally refer to the lady at the register, rather than 同學, since you’re not in the same grade studying together.

  35462. crazy. you have refreshed my aim to learn the Japanese language, and maybe even Chinese after viewing your stream. As for the not the other items about your appearance.... who cares. to me, and it's subjective but you are very good looking.

  35466. It's a shame some peoples only way to get attention is to put other people down. Just show the true lack of belief they have in their own ability.

  35467. Interesting how these ancient Japanese arts of warfare have been transformed to modern day sports.

  35468. So true. The kids don’t have a filter yet. I lived in Japan for 5 years and I started to adapt to the Japanese energy, which was low in my experience.

  35477. Those kids @ 10:15 They really went fully Ape sh!t. MUST be real SW fans. Fun to see that most of the people, and the kids especially, were quite openly enthusiastic about R2. How 'big' is SW actually in Japan?
    1
  35478. Omg so cool! i love your videos. love from Germany
    1
  35479. Just an observation . Having lived in Europe and Asia and being American , I've found you will never "Fit in ". You'll always be looked upon as a foreigner . No matter where you go. My upbringing was in a diverse environment. Many of my friends were children of American and foreign parents. They are Americans whose foreign parent taught them their native languages and customs. However no matter if they spoke fluent Vietnamese, Japanese,Italian German or Spanish...... they were always considered foreigners in mom or dads native land. Just an observation.. Enjoy your videos and look forward to more of them. Go to Yokohama and visit Benny's Place an American sports bar. Benny Eiler has been there 20+ years. Americans and locals frequent the place. All ages. He's an old shipmate and a decent fellow.

  35488. Thank you so much for sharing. Truly it brought tears to my eyes.

  35489. Be careful those sandals aren't suitable for climbing, the hill surface looks slippery. I play Japanese songs and podcast in my car, it fills up my time during a traffic jam. I watch Japanese TV series, and anime. I learn much faster than learning in a classroom. Because as I listen, I realized the same expression can be said differently in Japanese and sounds much better, so much shorter and simplified and makes more sense than those lines from the textbook. When I use a line from the textbook, a native Japanese can easily and directly tell ahhh this guy , he is still learning , he is a beginner. Wow !!! You have a beautiful handwriting. Your kanji handwriting look much better than mine, I am Chinese. LOL....

  35533.  @OrientalPearl  Aww, I am glad it helps! I'll probably be watching all your videos and commenting on them :D Plus it helps me learn, I am currently learning Korean and Japanese as well, and love intercultural combinations. Seeing people who help combine multiple perspectives or enjoy living in multiple worlds makes me a little bit joyful. Good luck!!

  35547. Another lovely and enjoyable video from you again! Your channel is growing so quickly, I can't wait to see you eventually get to 100,000 subscribers. I actually want to make similar videos to what you and Laoshu505000 makes and both of you have inspired me. Laoshu505000 makes similar videos to what you make and is also really good.

  35548. Its really in my heart to study Japanese in Japan but I doubt I could support myself with my financial capabilities now. How much do you think will it take for me to be able to study and live with expenses there?

  35549. imagine hating on someone who tried hard to learn foreign languages and calling them ugly when they are just beautiful and really positive...like she gives advice on how to speak to people,manners and you just shame her...

  35557. Giving wrong directions on purpose makes no sense at all. It's so strange some of their customs contradict, like they go out of their way to ensure they aren't hindering anyone else and are respecting others and making sure they talk in a polite form and so on, but they don't think wasting a tourists time by pointing them in completely wrong directions instead of just saying i don't know is ok? How is that ok? It just doesn't make any sense to me, ugh.
    1
  35558. Yes finally another video I'm so excited
    1
  35559. I liked your channel already. It’s even more special now that I know your a catholic. God bless you!

  35563. I liked the change of content in this video, seeing interesting activities.
    1
  35564. Anime/Manga did NOT make Highschool in Japan look fun/cool. In fact it made it look scary, full of bullies, and entitled rich kids 🤣

  35565. Thanks!

  35566. You are my favorite youtuber. I really like your videos. I watched them all. It's not just about languages. You have a good personality. Thank you for sharing.

  35574. Pretty sure the guy with the mask on at the start of this video is a butler from the butlers cafe the YouTuber エミりん goes to 😂

  35575. If it was the next city over, she might not be upset but Kamakura is far from Tokyo and depending on the train line. It can take you a constant almost 2 hour train travel and a couple of train switches.

  35580. ive been in beijing three years, it is really hard to leave
    1
  35581. Sorry, but I have to disagree with first minutes of video. It is not easy at all unless you are a girl. That is fact. Try the same as a boy and you'll end with mark "weirdo" at best. It is nothing against you, it is just statement that you, as a (pretty) girl, have quite big advantage at it. You can interfere to space of others like no boy/man can. Anyway I wish you the best and I'm looking forward to new videos. They're great.
    1
  35582. I went there, and I love Japanese culture! Maybe when I get oldet I going to move there.
    1
  35583. Thank-you for the different tour of the area, the train tracks, as I like when you get out and show us different areas in your neighbourhood. You should include that motivational speech in all your videos so people will realize that it takes dedication and hard work to learn a new language, let alone master it. The bonus part of the video was my favourite type of food, FREE, their is nothing better than free food, well maybe moms cooking. Have a good day an stay safe, and wash your hands.
    1
  35584. Aww they were so sweet!

  35585. Great video! Just wondering... why don't idols tell whether they have a boyfriend or not?

  35587. So, I have been speaking Spanish for over 20 years and am comfortable and conversational and have a really good native accent because I lived with and learned from native speakers from Chile, Argentina, Honduras, Panama, El Salvador and Mexico. But I am comfortable talking about literature and religion and history, etc. and NOT about everyday things, so I can't just walk into a tool shed and name everything or a grocery store and name all of the foods. Native speakers are often surprised at how ignorant I actually am and yet can speak on certain topics quite intelligently. I took Japanese for three years in high school (enough said) and am now beginning a serious study of it as an adult. Same thing, relatively good accent, but not by any means fluent. I am fascinated by true polyglots and aspire to be one someday, but I do not kid myself. This will take years - probably decades. Just because I can listen to (or better read) Italian, French, Portuguese, etc., and understand it to varying degrees does not a polyglot make me. I can't speak them even though I can read them well and pronounce them fairly accurately. Final confession: I've now been studying Russian heavily for the last 165 days and have taken a deep dive into Italian and German in the last couple months, also, but other than that, I have only surface-studied Latin, Greek, Hindi, Hebrew, and Mandarin, in that order. This is not impressive, it's crazy, and those of us who seriously study languages at all know the difference. I am not a polyglot, and don't consider myself to even be FULLY bi-lingual. A fantastic and well-done video. Many thanks! The honesty and bravery is commendable. Loved it!

  35588. I was thinking if I can do job in Japan. So make more videos and congratulations on 500k subs 💥💥🧡

  35589. I'm pretty much the same way with English, Spanish and Japanese. Ha!

  35590. This video was awesome. Also I'm from Idaho so that news thing was a shock lol.

  35591. Man, Scandinavian people in general are amazing! Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, etc. Great at math and engineering AND languages! Anaki was amazing! Wourter is another You Tuber polyglot (Dutch from Amsterdam) who is very inspiring too. Anming, thank you for sharing your gifts and your infectious (in a non-COVID way, of course...LOL) bubbly personality with us! I love and admire you as a friend and amazing human being! Keep up the great content!

  35592. You got "7-ELEVEN" and "Baskin-Robbins" in Japan?? You are safe, then! LOL!!

  35593. Regarding the Corona virus, you can appeal the automated process for a few days now, YouTube have changed their policy and are allowing the use in a staggered fashion now. Annoying still but at least you can get ads with your content this way. Source: https://twitter.com/YouTube/status/1237775624921481222

  35594.  @SleezeJest  i agree, it's kind of pointless patronizing someone with perfect foreign language skills. They already know it. Encourage the beginners and learners it will boost their confidence. On that thought, poor Anming. I thought you were really good but I have just realised your Chinese must be terrible because everyone tells you how well you are doing ;)
    1
  35595. super cool, congrats and all the best!!!!!

  35601. They hate you cause you’re growing fast right now because of how good and pure your contents are and they’re hating you cause they don’t have enough skills to copy this type of content where it takes a lot of time to master new language

  35602. Aw I love u guys... 💓... hi from Arizona

  35605. Wow!! Another amazing and educational video. I never knew about the Japanese archery from horseback. Love to see both you and your fiancé in the videos . I can't believe you got called out . A message to all your haters , there's this thing you can do and it's called "Don't Watch"! Go watch paint peel and let the rest of us enjoy the content . 😃😎

  35607. This kind of video help me to NOT drop off my Japanese classes, after Japanese i would like to learn chinese and korean Thank you, i love this content Subscribed! Love from Brazil <3 Stay safe ( sorry about my english )
    1
  35608. Enjoyed this episode. I think a little change from your normal format is a good idea. It’s all about being in Japan, which I enjoy watching. Grew up as a military brat on a base called Tachikawa in the 60s. Left in 1971 and unfortunately have not been back since. Watching your videos is almost like going back. Domo Arigato!
    1
  35609. Wonderful channel, very enjoyable. Sometimes the Youtube algorithm throws you a nice surprise. I speak a few languages, not like you, and I agree with you. I too never experienced any hate. I also find that generally people appreciate it and are willing to show you more of their country. You do look like you could speak Russian. Also, something semitic, Arabic or Hebrew or both. Much success

  35610. U did skydiving in Japan? Where?

  35622. Thank you for the great video! Can I ask what Chinese schools you might recommend / went to? I'm planning to study Chinese in China but there's so many schools to choose from
    1
  35623. One day I hope I can be as good as you 😓
    1
  35624. I am so intrigued by people like you who can speak so many languages so fluently to the point where I'm actually borderline jealous. Because I simply do not understand how you guys can do it (this coming from someone who's tried to tackle Russian at some point). So consider yourselves super special and naturally talented (and no, this is not meant as a backhanded compliment, but a very genuine one) :)

  35627. Hi Anming, you are so cute ! I love your vlogs ! you are so sweet and friendly, I wish I can have friends like you ! Best wishes from switzerland ! 🤗
    1
  35628. I regularly watch the 'Hydraulic Press Channel' and 'Beyond The Press' on Youtube, operated by Finnish factory owner Lauri Vuohensilta and his wife Anni. It's fascinating to see how much force items must undergo before being squashed. It's also fun to watch things being blown up. Their english pronunciation is similar to that of my sister's Swedish husband, although Finnish and Swedish are different languages.
    1
  35629. What is the best way to acquire verbal skills in a language if you aren't at a place yet where you can hold conversation?
    1
  35630. Receiving compliments on your language skills shouldn't make you feel forever an outsider... It's the strength of relationships you build with the locals that counts
    1
  35631. I have enjoyed watching many of you videos about Japan. It reminds of when I lived there. Changed days but it still reminds me.
    1
  35632. You said that you've been out of the USA since 2012, Have you still held your Citizenship? I thought you must live here for so many months of the year to maintain. Maybe some misunderstanding on My part.
    1
  35633. First video I watch... Very nice people you encounter. Don't care about chinese or korean, but I have a dream of talking Japanese like you do. I'm fairly good at it replicating the correct pronunciation and such, know a few expressions and phrases, but I don't know enough for conversation pieces like those. しかしあなたわほんとに美しい女性です. Best regards to your 日本🗾 husband. Have great travels! You want a challenge?! Try speak Portuguese...not Brazilian...the real Portuguese (that even Brazilians can't do it correctly)! 😂 That would make me be very impressed as a pronunciation achievement! 😜 Japanese is very easy to pronounce correctly if you're keen on some anime, like myself, you catch the language phonetics very easily. The problem, for me obviously, is memorizing the language and meanings.
    1
  35634. 7:25 lol

  35635. You are truly amazing and I wish I could speak another language

  35640. hey, you made a mistake to make those trolls and haters a platform and exposure!!! you are successful with 480k subscribers and lot of views, don't focus on haters, you are only giving them a free advertisement...focus on your work not their...
    1
  35641. Some of your tones, vowels and intonation sound a bit like a Cantonese native speaker speaking mandarin, it’s very light but i think it’s the only problem in your mandarin speaking :)
    1
  35642. We also dropped everything in the states and came to Japan in 2008. Original plan was for 2-3 years, still here today! From a career standpoint, I probably should have thought out things a little more, but what a life experience! Not only here in Japan, but we've traveled to many Asian countries, have met so many interesting people. None of this would have happened if we had stayed home. Next home, maybe somewhere in Europe? Life's too short to stay in one country! Glad to see you're enjoying Japan.
    1
  35643. 100,000 subscribers by Thanksgiving, 150,000 early 2021....I’m calling it. Those girls absolutely loved that you were talking to them. Nice job!

  35644. during the last week of june in 2018 my Japanese neighbors moved in next to me and since my cousin lives in the neighbor with me we would always go to my house and see them outside playing with their bikes and i thought they’ll hate me because i’m african american,but they were actually really nice i was shocked especially the mom was really nice and she gave me some japanese words since i was curious and my siblings and i also my cousin played with them the whole summer but them sadly they moved and i haven’t seen them since 2019 i really miss them ^^(the mom also influenced me to learn japanese)

  35653. I am learning japanese as a personal challenge and will visit (maybe live) one day and i feel it might be a bit easier than chinese (which i also like) ..but i live in manchester(uk) and there are sooo many more chinese people around so im half wondering whether to switch to chinese as i won't get a chance to use my japanese as much and it might fade away without use.. what do you think ? i love your attitude and videos btw ..they are inspiring :) (edit.. i also think you look a bit russian haha (which i am also trying to learn)

  35655. How could you not have a panic attack when they all surrounded you like that and pulling your arm and everyone speaking at the same time😨 I’m just watching this, but my stress levels went through the roof
    1
  35656. I love Japan, been many times. Seen too many to count nice people, but I have unfortunately met really creepy older men, asking me out, asking where my hotel is and the entire works. Then again, you will find that in every country. Still won’t make we walk away from the amazing land of Japan!

  35664. very awesome video. also i speak four langue's and one them is the langue from Babylon which it is called Aramaic.

  35665. It's evident from your videos that fluency in a foreign language impacts positively personal relations. It'd be an interesting MA thesis how that would impact international relations.
    1
  35666. At 9:56. The best thing to do is to educate the locals about who you are. Answer any questions they have, and don't take it personally. I am sure tourists say stupid things in foreign countries and make cultural faux pas.

  35667. My Italian intuition gives me confidence

  35668. Working as an ALT is also being in an all Japanese office. Can be fun and stressful at times. My former school I ate lunch with the principle and vp at the same table, along with other teachers. Sometimes they were eager to know about different aspects of my American life...etc. fun times. :D

  35669. Saiko! Great encouragement!

  35670. It sounds more like people who have issue with these types of videos are just jealous. Why they getting hot and bothered by smart people? Lmao!

  35685. I think... Im fairly sure among white americans that German is the largest genetic ancestry followed by irish then probably English or scots and French but French would be regional to mainly Louisiana region and near Canadian border. Most americans dont know german is their largest ancestry group. They all want to be irish of course😊

  35690. okay but why are the girls so CUTE
    1
  35691. There's a relative of mine who speaks 3 languages basically like his mother tongue (he is bilingual Spanish, Italian and has lived in the US for more than 20 years, he is exceptionally fluent in English, with little to no accent), and on top of those he also is pretty good in other 2 languages (Portuguese and French) and I think he also knows some very basic German. I know it's easier to speak many languages if they are in the same family (Romance languages in this case) but should he be considered polyglot or what? What's the usual distinction between a polyglot and one that can speak very well a bunch of languages? Oh, by the way he is not part of any "language community" whatsoever, I don't think he even uses youtube at all :D He is an Engineer and works for oil companies, so totally unrelated to language teachers / courses / communities and stuff.
    1
  35692. 还有一个好玩的视频 。谢谢
    1
  35693. If I was a Chinese person in Japan and a westerner came up speaking Chinese, I would probably be stunned as well. I would guess that there are only a few people with a similar background and skillset in all of Japan. I'm betting you get fewer strong reactions when you speak Chinese in China. Maybe when you go back to China, you can find some Japanese people to surprise!
    1
  35694. I came here to see you eat natto, and I wasn't disappointed. But aren't you supposed to mix it with some soy sauce and maybe some chopped green onions or something?

  35726. Loved your video! Really interesting to see your work environment in Tokyo. I’d enjoy seeing more work culture videos. I hope to visit Japan in the fall.

  35727. That's awesome! I'm half Japanese and have always enjoyed your videos. I took my Mother back to Tokyo a few years ago and it was fun to practice my Japanese. It was the first time seeing my relatives in 50 years. My cousins have since visited me in the states.

  35728. I vibe with you, you seem wholesome. I always try to talk Japanese in Japan, but I'm always nervous

  35729. Thank you for recommending Pimsleur. It is helping me alot with Arabic. شكراً

  35730. Cultural norms, very well said. It IS painful. Like when someone wants to give you something you actually appreciate, but you are expected to refuse so they can insist, Ugh. Younger people may be easier because they still don't adopt (or don't care) about certain social norms. I'm not even surprised people go to Harajuku etc to openly express themselves. Reminds me of the Gal fashion of the late 90ies. Staring at people (jiii), on this side they tell you too look in the eyes of the people you are speaking to show you are being honest, but in Japan its (nearly) the opposite. And my biggest struggle is the gender issue, showing any type of appreciation to someone of the opposite sex is a big no no unless you are implying "something". Friends of the opposite sex? Impossible. Seriously it can become frustrating and exhausting.

  35731. I think the surprise may have to do with switching from pretending to be a tourist that doesn’t speak the language and only speaks English to them to a really good Chinese or Japanese speaker.

  35732. I could sit with you on a 15hr flight and have a conversation with you “nonstop”

  35737. I’m trying to learn Chinese but girl I’m telling you your Chinese is Awesome very good
    1
  35738. Another great video. I noticed a 7: 20 so many of the stores have English names, is that common, or just the area you are in? An chance you could pronounce the words in Chinese, or Japanese, like the ice cream cone or other foods? Sorry about your date, but rainy day friends are the hardest to find.

  35741. Oh! I’m disgusted by the negative comments sent your way! You sound much more fluent than most people. You at least make an honest effort to understand and speak both Chinese and Japanese. I salute you, your intentions and your efforts. Those who criticize should get off their fuzzy butts and try to do as well!

  35742. Congratulations Anming and Tommy! 💕

  35747. I don’t know which video I watched of yours. I think it was the one where you went to this three story shop in Tokyo? After that video I was hooked into the beauty of Tokyo and Japan . Thank you for making these awesome videos and keep on going 👌🏻😁

  35750. I just don't buy what those 'polyglots' say because most of the time they are speaking in English about how good are in languages. Memorizing a self-introduction and other similar sentences don't make them polyglots.
    1
  35751. When I was living in Hachioji I got weird looks from older Japanese people constantly
    1
  35752. I think maybe speaking JP to those who only know JP in Japan may shock more. Many channels seem to portray JP are scared to talk to foreigners. Where many CH living elsewhere may be used to foreigners speaking CH to them maybe?

  35757. I am less amazed by someone speaking Chinese than by someone who can read it. I know this girl can since she studies with Chinese students. I worked on learning Japanese for a while. I had a friend from Japan who lived in the U.S. for five years. Towards the end of his stay he would borrow my kanji dictionary when he was writing letters home! 😂. Imagine having to learn more than 1800 kanji just to read the newspaper!

  35758. Dude! That’s like so cool! It made the whole shopping experience so interesting. 好想念日本

  35759. Been to China a few times, so many Chinese have so little exposure to non Chinese compared to Japan and also the lack of .... manners or western manners I think this is something that is t generational. One generation ago china was a backward 3rd world country, many Chinese have only recently moved to cities and most have never traveled outside china or had much interaction with non Chinese. I had people nearly crash staring at me as I walked around a small town of 6-8 million. I imagine it is tiresome having the exact same conversation every time you speak Chinese.

  35775. Sad to hear that you've been through a tough time. It would've been worse if you had purchased those plane tickets since both China back then and Michigan at this time would put you at a bigger risk at getting the virus. But hey, we get to stay home and do something different!

  35778. Oriental Pearl, this video is very good. It is important that you never feel discouraged to properly expose the truth. Especially when many people who happen to be a part of those cultures and societies who may be very sensitive, already have been inconvenienced or been treated like they're an item to be studied, rather than a human being. As you know, with Chinese and Japanese languages, they are not languages that you could simply study by yourself. And often times it's very very imperative to have a native language speaker who understands the behind-the-scenes mental choosing of words when and where they sense something in everyday life. you have to understand, that when you take the time to accurately and factually explain from a objective perspective like you do in this video, that you should not feel discouraged. There was a person I knew, his name is Troy Nguyen. He did many things to stand up for mainland Vietnam. And exposing the truth as to how many people of other races or ethnicities, we're taking advantage of that and many other countries in Asia. many people try to take what he said out of context and without looking at it objectively. He was very correct and I do commend him for exposing the truth. So what I'm trying to say is, the mindfulness, modesty, and perseverance that you take with every step of your own life, sends waves of collective energy that attract those who are as sincere as you are in your own path to cherish life as best you can around you. I have watched this video and I am watching a few others. But I don't claim to know everything about you, however this video that you've made to expose via education is very nice. I've gotten so upset with a lot of those self-proclaimed polyglot YouTubers who treat people within the us or within their own countries, as if they are books. Singling them out just because they're different race or ethnicity. Or the self-proclaimed polyglots, specifically creating a problem so that they can talk the way out using suppose of language skill. which of course is just them focusing on their own ego and implying that just because the people are foreign or of another race or ethnicity, that they would not be able to recognize the degrading action of exploiting language or race or ethnicity like this. I'm very thankful for your video because, I am actually half Japanese. I was adopted by an American couple when I was very very young. And so even though I had American parents, there are many things that I did that American children would or would not do via genetic mentality difference which is rarely inherited by Japanese mixes..(I'm sorry for my poor English grammar and punctuation I've been studying other languages) To make a long story short, I tried learning Japanese in college, however the majority of people that went to the classes were very egotistic and treated something that I wanted to learn out of sincerity to find my biological mother, as if the people that natively spoke where items. Also many of them, after they found out that I was half Japanese, spoke down to me saying that I was inferior because of the typical Western misunderstandings of us mixed people. So there were people that deliberately tried to turn language learning into a competition and one up. So in other words, it was incredibly discouraging and damaging learning with those people. And for someone like me, who is deeply influenced by unexplainable feelings and connections towards my biological mother and genetic collective consciousness with other Japanese, I feel left out and constantly degraded when I see those polyglot videos. There's a difference between ego stroking heritage and naturally having some sort of connection with people that you can't actually explain to clearly being raised, American, yet only to be told by older Japanesethat they're comfortable with you because you've inherited genetic mentality.Therefore, it's ideal for you to learn the language so you can reconnect with people that you were meant to be with. there are many deeper and more powerful forces that are unseen in the world around us, which does polyglot fakes oftentimes overlook for their ego. and it can discourage the more delicate unseen things that might exist in those societies or cultures. So I'm just simply thanking you, for taking the time and care to understand the importance of cherishing your own life, which then indirectly branches out to knock down barriers and provide chances for life around you to grow. To influence without possessing. Selfless peacefulness you obtain from helping others, encourages existence of life elsewhere. What initially exists as form, turns into an essence. Wish you peacefulness~

  35779. I read somewhere that it’s considered rude to accept a compliment for example when they say your Chinese is good instead of just saying thank you, you should be modest. Is that true?
    1
  35780. I'm a person who actually speaks 4 languages fluently (French, Japanese, Polish and English). I'd say it takes me roughly 1h per language per day to be able to maintain a decent level of fluency in each of these languages... On top of that I actually spent 3years living in America, 12 in France, 1 in Japan + 3 years spent in a predominantly J-speaking environment + some 15years in Poland. My point is that reaching (and maintaining) real fluency comes with tons of devotion and WORK. Knowing that do I believe that a person can reach a high level of fluency in 10, 15 languages and be able to maintain that kind of fluency for at least 10 years? Frankly, I don't think it's possible.

  35795. How you compare rates of "character amnesia" (that's what Wikipedia calls it) in Japan vs. China? A cursory glance says it's common in China too, but you seem to imply that it's more frequent in Japan than China.
    1
  35796. Where should I look for getting an online tutor to learn Japanese?
    1
  35797. Minute 8:52 You’re right. We start learning a new language with swear word lol 😂 I’m learning English and learned the swear words first
    1
  35798. I only got a few chinese words out of the conversation and only cause I took Mandarin in high school, but really didn't learn it well. I agree that learning a language is good and can be useful, but its also rather tricky, specially if you don't use it often enough or struggle reading (like I did when it came to characters). I'm lucky enough to know a few things: greeting, saying good bye, asking how someone is, telling someone you love them, how to ask birth date, telling someone you don't understand and probably a few others. I think someone talking bad about you in their language is more common in America where people tend to be a bit more stereotypical. Not saying that's 100% accurate, but it does feel like it sometimes.

    1
  35812. To be honest, I don't see the old lady weird. I guess she might just feel surprise that a Western girl who can speak so fluent Chinese. By the way, Japanese people are very sensitive, especially when you hold a camera on street and speak loudly. I can see many people staring at you while you are filming. Japanese people are too care of how other people seeing them, but that is part of their culture.

  35814. You're living in Japan. And every once in a while you try to maintain your Mandarin by speaking to the local Chinese. Which makes me wonder, are you striving to become like a professor in both Japanese and Mandarin Chinese?

  35825. You seem genuine compared to lots of other language YouTubers. And also respectful to the cultures you're in. Growing up "foreign-looking" in the States, I get it. Seems they've totally run out of things to talk about, so they have to complain about something. Interesting how some people work, and more so how Big Media works.

I heard the labor law is trying to push back the overworking culture, but from the recent similar videos like “一日密着”, I don’t see a lot has changed. Excited to see more videos like this!

  35840. Rather than culture barrier, I am interested in some "culture shock" that you experienced in the past. Culture barrier is more like, something that make you distant, but I dont really think there's a lot of "culture barrier" nowadays when you are open minded and respect other people's things. But for culture shock, of course people esp foreigner would experienced it (at least most people from overseas, right?). So I am kind of curious what culture shock that you have experienced and possibly end up loving now. When I visited Japan, I was so confused and kinda scared of mascots there lol. It was weird for me. But over time after I grew up, I actually kind of jealous that my Country dont have that kind of mascot or animated persona for their cities and such lol.

And I’m currently studying Chinese in high school now. Chinese is really difficult 😥 but if I continue watching your video maybe I can learn more and my listening skills will improve.

  35862. Pretty and dance

  35863. Another great video, and after only three hours, 230 comments, and 3600 views, not bad at all. Plus the fact that you now have 53k subs means you have hit the big times, now we have to get to 100k. I would like to see you two exchange some Korean words for Chinese as that would help you both out with your languages and you could learn a little Korean and he could improve his Chinese. As for all the other chatter about who has the best polyglot channel... I must say I have checked them out, but I tend to find them very egocentric, or very limited in their content as they seem to do the same thing adnauseam. Thank-you for the video, and as always stay safe and wash your hands.

What is your path to learning Chinese in Fudang? Did you start learning in the state or like taking a language class at school? If you see me comment a lot its because im binge watching some of your videos.

  35870. People are so bored that they need to have to bring a negative opinion that no one needs into the world, just watch what you like, stick with your own bubble of influence and stop caring about things you can't or don't like, why bring negativity into the world, when you don't have to, but that is likely the only way some can get the attention they crave, seeing as they have no talent for making there own content, so lets hate on other and film it. (I'm talking about the few clips in the vid, not you two :D )

  35893. This is simple, most of the real polyglots are humble and when they speak the languages they claim to speak they do it almost without an accent (of course perfection does not exist) but in the other hand you have these guys who are always claiming to speak this or that language and when you hear them speaking omg so cringe...

  35902. Thank you again for your video. I really enjoyed this one too. I love watching polyglot videos too, an find the whole concept so exciting! I also follow some other bilingual or multi lingual videos on You tube but it is rather the same just different packaging, and often seems that apart from ordering food, there is very little content. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching more videos from you, esp those with language at a more indepth level.

  35910. You're sooo good at Japanese!!! Really impressive.😁😍
    1
  35911. I've been thinking, Japanese and Chinese looked somewhat similar until when they speak. So do Japanese people find it offensive when people spoke Chinese to them?
    1
  35912. No, not really, they understand some people can't differentiate. I'm Chinese myself and I usually wait for people to speak first to decide if they're Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
    1
  35913. When I worked in Shanghai, I met a women who was Swedish. She could speak Russian, Chinese, Japanese and of course, English. There must be a point wear learning more languages is counter-productive. I have lived in UK, Germany, Kazakhstan, China and now Thailand, but at my age, I have forgotten more words and phrases from several languages. It's all about repeated practice. Great video, I always admire people who can communicate with those around you, in simple shopping encounter. Best wishes from Bangkok.

  35926. Yup, if I were to identify the brand for each YouTuber, you are definitely the best when it comes to natural conversations, and I think you have a really good potential niche in this segment because most YouTubers do not want to have to take the time to do subtitles. So videos are typically always in English, and they lose out on Japanese speaking viewers/audience. You, on the other hand, is where you want to go to hear natural conversations with locals... bye bye, hahahaha

  35940. Well, if pigs ears were more meat than cartilage, I supposed I'd be in on it. But I don't eat the cartilage of any other animal—though, in my preteens, I was known for devouring almost the entire chicken leg—so the ears would really have to be worth it (texture, taste, etc). Thanks for the vid.

  35964. I have been living in Japan for almost eight years, and I have worked at my father-in-law's Naishoku business. It was hard and I worked a lot of hours for a small income that a highschooler would make more money than I did. Fortunately I quit the job and started working at a landscaping job here in Tokyo. I am outside all day for ten hours. Technically if you take away two hours for a break time and lunch, I only work eight hours out of the day. May income is way better than my previous Japanese job! Plus I like getting my hands dirty.

  35966. I really appreciate all the work you put into your channel. I’ve been a lifelong lover of languages and have pretty good proficiency with three now and am starting my fourth. The best thing about your channel is the mix of interesting topics, all of which are relevant and inspiring. If I had to pick my one favorite, it would be the times when you directly encourage your audience to take on the greatest challenge of effective language learning: overcoming the fear of rejection. That said, from my own perspective and from what I’ve read in the comments, I think a _lot of people would like to hear more about your fashion & style journey as well as your current tastes and opinions. It may not be your area of professional expertise, but you are clearly very savvy to it. There is no shortage of videos that show - even mock- extreme examples of individualism, but I believe you would cover the whole topic with much greater authenticity and genuine insight. Just as with language and food, fashion is an important part of any culture - and I believe one or more videos sharing your perspective on the subject would be both entertaining and educational for your audience.

  35971. Actually, when a japanese goes 'nihongo jouzu desune' I just go madshit because of their facade or tatemae. I find that chinese people are aware of how difficult their language is, and they don't expect any foreigner to take enough effort to speak with them in their language. In general, I feel it more genuine when the chinese compliments you than the japanese.

  35974. hi michael douglas told us sort of about language learning in the film falling down from 1993. he went to a shop in america and said to the shop keeper how much is this. The shop keeper replied eighty fie. Douglas said then said five there is a V in the word. You come to are country and dont have the decency to learn the language. Well if you seen that film douglas was angry throughout it but the person not learning the country language bothered him also. So as Oriental Pearl said learning languages is fun and it would have stopped douglas feeling more angry in the store lol.

  35996. @2:20 even in the new suburbs in Sydney (Australia) the houses are being built closely together like that too, with just a walkway between. Of course, compared to Japan, Australia has a lot fewer areas, and smaller areas, densely built like that. I’ve seen stuff like that in the UK too. I guess it’s a strategy for denser settlement when property becomes expensive. However, of the few Japanese houses I’ve been into, they are smaller than what I’ve seen in Australia or the UK (although old, unrenovated tenement buildings in New York had really tiny apartments.)

  36017. I guessed that he was a Finn when I saw the thumbnail of the video. That Akaki person actually looks a lot like me. And then the finnish language.. It should not be too hard for you to pronounce finnish words because you speak japanese. Finnish and japanese pronunciation is almost exactly the same. I guess pronouncing R, L and S is hard and then there is of course ä and ö. I can actually teach you some funny words. common finnish and japanese words. same word but different meaning. The word kani "カニ" means a crab in japanese but in finnish its "rabbit". Risu "リス" is a squirrel in japanese but in finnish its a "stick" or "branch". Shika ジカ is a deer in japanese but in finnish "Sika" means pig. Hana はな in japanese is flower but in finnish its "faucet" there are lots of words like these. those are just few examples. finnish first and last names can be funny too. For example, imagine someone saying 私はミンナアホです My name is Minna Aho or My name is Henna Pantsu 私はヘンナパンツです. Then there are first names like "Aki" and "Ari" etc.

  36024. You know you're a real 中国通 when you subconsciously start using the hand symbols for numbers! I also moved to China in 2012, and your channel is simultaneously making me really happy (because it's inspiring) and really ashamed (since I've let my Chinese backslide since moving back). I can anecdotally confirm your opinion about self-study vs. formal study. I never took formal Chinese classes, and mostly studied on my own with a tutor or in small groups. I made pretty good progress up until passing HSK 5, and then I hit a wall. The jump from a 2500 word vocabulary to a 5000 word vocabulary at HSK 6 is a huge time commitment and self-study alongside working full-time and starting a family wasn't cutting it. I think if I had 6-12 months to really study full-time it would have been a different story. Hopefully I'll get there someday! I also agree that I think self-studying in-country was a pretty good way to start. Some of my friends who went directly into the university study route ended up getting buried under a demotivating pile of academic work, whereas I had the freedom to wander around and practice whatever seemed most important and relevant to my life at the time. Speaking just for myself, I think the "ideal" would have been self/tutor-study up until HSK 4 and then sliding into formal classes when the vocabulary learning really ramps up. Of course, the other problem with self-study is that I never learned to handwrite properly in Chinese because I could always just get away with texting/WeChat. So I know the stroke order but didn't really memorize many characters at all so I'm still pretty useless when it comes to handwritten communication. Anyway, thought I'd chime in on the topic. One interesting video idea: how did your Chinese foundation help/not help you learn Japanese? Are there any ways that it makes things more confusing sometimes (false friends? same character/different meaning?). I'd love to hear more about that.

  36025. The first foreign language is the hardest. The second one you learn is a bit easier. The third language is even easier (by this time your brain starts to develop an idea of 'structure' of other languages). The fourth one is even easier, and it gets easier and easier from there. Most people are put off learning because the first foreign language they learn makes them think it's difficult. The way to REALLY get a gift for languages is to start VERY young. I was fortunate to be taught French from age 6 where most kids in the UK only started it at age 11. At age 8 I was helping my parents out with their French on a holiday in France (even today it sticks in my mind - the first time I was more knowledgable than my parents at anything, and I can still picture that afternoon in a foreign supermarket some 47 years later where I knew the word for 'matches' for our camping holiday to light the stove, and my parents didn't know the word). The best age to teach a child a foreign language? Start at 6 months....

  36035. As an American living in Spain and who speaks Spanish fluently to the point people think I'm just from Madrid, I sometimes get confused suspicion whenever people actually learn I'm not in fact Spanish. It's like - You must have Spanish parents, grew up here etc. I don't, I just have a good ear for languages (speak 6) and have been living here long enough that the accent disappeared. I find it highly disrespectful how many English speakers living as expats in various countries sometimes spend decades living somewhere without ever even learning the local language to any respectable degree.

  36043. 日本語を学んだ事を一つのきっかけにして、アンミンさんの人生に素敵な変化や影響があったとしたら、一人の日本人としてとても嬉しく、光栄に思います！! 日本の「本音と建前」という言葉を知っている外国人の方は少なくないですが、これは人間関係に最低限の礼儀を保つための初歩的な常識であって、日本社会の入り口に過ぎません。アンミンさんのように日本語を使う強い意志があって、自ら心を開いて語りかけて下さる人には、多くの日本人がアンミンさんと同じように心を開いて、親しく話してくれると思います！ これからも、アンミンさんの人生が日本語と共に素敵に輝くことを祈念致しております！Thank you so much!!

  36044. Really love your sharing! I would like to get your suggestions on my situation. I think my level of English is intermediate to advanced. But often I found myself totally lost when someone just blurts our short or fast sentence/phrases out of context. Especially with men, seems it’s hard for me to identify words when they’re said in low tone. Have you got similar experience? Any idea how to fix this? Thanks a lot!

I'm making my list at this moment, I need to go to the supermarket but I only go once a week, I actually hate going because I'm afraid of you know what and I already have a chronic illness (fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome) anyway, hope you have a nice weekend. Sending love all the way from Paraguay!

  36064. Hello Michigander! Detroit is not as depressing as it used to be, as long as you don't go out into the sea of bandos. :+ ) The area around Campus Martius Square is a good place to start, when easing people in to Detroit.

  36066. Hi Anming. If you were to pick up another language, which language would you choose?
    1
  36067. It's so funny after all of these years watching your channel, I only knew you as Anming. Was this the first time you used your (maybe) real name? Anyway, I love how you took the platform you built off of reaction videos and used its success to focus on really important topics. This is truly different and eye opening for the vast majority of us. You're going to break stereotypes!

  36092. Great stuff

  36093. Amazing! Will you be thinking of pursuing another language?
    1
  36094. You both have made very good points. I speak English and Greek fluently, and I’m studying Spanish, European Portuguese and Japanese. I believe that I can achieve fluency in all of them slowly. I don’t feel that taking courses works nor do I feel that studying a language at a university is a good method as hardly any of the knowledge will be absorbed and used in real life situations. The best method is simply to learn enough words and phrases with a good app, make notes of everything, then have several conversations with native speakers either online or in real life. That method is guaranteed to work perfectly. Also, a high vocabulary can be achieved by reading books or by reading articles online. That’s my opinion anyway. Anyways, both of you speak really good Japanese. Very impressive.

  36095. こんにちはアンミング、私はあなたの「Youtubeチャンネル」を見てきました、私はそれが好きです。 頑張って、さあ

  36096. You are so adept at Chinese. Did knowing it first help in learning Japanese? Are there similarities in the languages (sentence structure, verb tenses, pronoun usage (do objects have gender), etc.)?

  36115. I don't what is about Japanese people or their culture as an middle eastern Japan and Japanese to me are the most lovely at the same time awkward ppl I love them and their country
    1
  36116. I found that as my Chinese got better, my friends and co-workers would start nitpicking my grammar and pronunciation more often. Which I guess felt like a compliment?
    1
  36117. I'm from a small country and we speak a language that is going to die sooner or later. So, i guess i have a different perspective on language learning as knowing 2-3 different languages is a basic skill for us. Anyway, i really enjoy these videos and am really impressed by your learning skills. People who don't like these videos and feel like its ok to make a video about not liking them seems ignorant to me.

    1
  36127. Greetings ! I like your videos and thank you for sharing. How did you get an apartment in Tokyo? I hear is pretty hard. How expensive life is there? And if you are a student how do you manage financially? Just curious and it will help other people who may want to go there to work

  36128. Oh wow I'm Chinese but u speak mandarin better than me

  36129. That mode switching, though. I've studied Japanese and Spanish and I tend to get words confused at times. It would take years of practice to get as good at mode switching as you are. You should be proud.

  36140. Fortune cookie! What’s that??? Lololol

  36141. There are a lot of terms thrown around on youtube language speaking communities that don't mean what people think they mean. Fluent: It does not mean you can survive in daily social conversation. Fluent means that while you may still have an accent, or make minor mistakes here and there, you can function in any non specialized topic in the language with native speakers in all four main skills, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. You can hold down a job in the language. Bilingual: It does not mean you are fluent in two languages. Bilingual means you are "native" or "native like" in two languages, meaning there are no or few discernible differences between your production and a native/first language speaker in either language. Polyglot: It does not mean you are fluent in 3+ languages, it means you have/can pick up languages to native/native like level and have typically done so with 3+ languages. The vast majority of youtubers that claim to be fluent aren't. The vast majority of people that claim to be polyglots are not. This is not to make a direct statement about the two speakers featured in this video, but Japan specifically has an incredibly low bar for assessing foreigner's ability in Japanese. Japanese people will assert to you that you are fluent if you can make it through a self introduction in a heavy accent. This is mostly because it is a monolingual society, and high proficiency in any language other than Japanese is almost non-existent. Throwing around these terms without care toward what they really mean devalues them in general, becoming "fluent" is a long and difficult process that takes most people 3-5 years living and studying in the country that speaks their target language. It means reading, writing, listening, and speaking at a working adult level, let's not belittle that effort. Remember, the best compliment anyone will every give someone on their language ability is not mentioning it at all. That means your ability is just a matter-of-fact as a member of that society, and complimenting your language at that point would be like complimenting a Japanese person on their pronunciation of Japanese.

  36145. Please remember to hug Tommy and let Tommy hug you! I'm glad to see most people don't bad mouth foreigners. People were mostly nice to me in the Philippines but I do think they spoke bad about me behind my back maybe a few times. Overall though, people are very polite in the Philippines.

  36159. Firstly I would like to say that I really like your channel , I am a recent subscriber, please keep up this fantastic work. I am enjoying your videos a lot. I have to disagree with you both for what you say in these videos, you need to get out of the language geek bubble you guys live. I am saying this because I am also a language geek that has lived in many countries, most people don't learn languages for the cultural enrichment that it brings , but they do to survive or to simply be able to work and lead a normal life in the country of destination. They are not fussed about the intricacies and therefore they do have different set of priorities when it comes to learning a new language, that's why they don't really care if what they're saying is 100% right or obsess about excessive attention to detail , being a perfectionist or blending in . This is why you will find people with strong foreign accents or even repeating grammatical errors for years. I hope you understand my criticism.

  36175. I think it is amazing watching the process of learning a new language and the development you share on YouTube .. I think it shows that anyone who wishes too , can learn a little of the language that they choose. I love watching the different polyglots and their journey along the way.... This is a great discussion. .I think these street chats allows practice, practice , practice .. improving can only come from practice .. The more someone goes and tries to speak a language then they become more confident .. Love your channels

  36181. haters only drag ppl down including themselves. Ultimately it is a choice they have made themselves at some point even though they will blame another event or person for it. Luckily everyone else still has the ability to choose what they want for themselves so one really doesnt have to get involved with any of it. Learning Chinese and Japanese isnt easy at all for a western person, neither is making a popular yt channel, neither is playing electrical guitar in front of a crowd ... who is anyone to judge. 😎

  36205. Jumping around through your videos a bit, and it seems our worlds are getting smaller haha. I've applied for English Village a couple times but nothing came of it. Don't suppose you know an American guy called Kevin who works there (he's been there 10 years or more) ? - he lives in our area too, he suggested I apply at the school. Definitely agree on adults being easier to teach too, the "teaching" tends to be just free-talk/random chit chat in most cases, at least where I've worked it has, whereas with kids there's that control you mentioned, almost an element of parenting required.

  36229. One thing I really admire is the Japanese people’s work ethics. But sometimes they are too adamant and stubborn in their work culture. You two lovely ladies bubbly personalities really stand out in Japan society.

  36242. I just can't help learning several languages at once. It's just sooo much fun and it's so interesting and I'm too impatient to do one at a time 😅 but I don't mind. I mean, it's my way of having fun I guess. I totally agree with your points, the term polyglot is overused. I mean you need FLUENCY in like six languages I think 🤔 I don't remember

  36243. Good for you for staying away from the cow tongue. Although I myself eat meat I won't eat organs and such. Ugh.

  36262. I agree...once you learn another language your life is forever changed. I was born in hk. When I was 6 I lived in Ecuador until I was 19, then lived in ny all my adult life and now with the quarantine I’m trying to learn mandarin. Once you learn a language you open the doors to a new culture, a universe of new movies, literature, music, culture opens up for your enjoyment and discovery. And if you have the opportunity to learn an Asian language like mandarin you get to explore thousands of years of accumulated history and culture. Asian movies compared to western movies have a different feel, the emphasis is different, it’s hard to explain until you experience the language, immerse in this new universe and explore. I feel I was blessed in being able to travel and learn 4 languages.

  36270. I started learning words in Chinese mandarin and now can recognize the words on your videos. Same thing when I was trying to learn English. I started by learning words. I need to learn English grammar but I feel confident that I can learn Chinese. About Chinese words Is to pay attention to the initial sound, ending sound and tone. I think that’s a key to recognizing words.

  36279. Good video! I learned Japanese to an intermediate level as a hobby, but dropped off of it after a few years. I’d like to start again and maybe do something with it in the future but I’m gonna be 40 yrs old soon, so it’ll probably stay a hobby and Japan can be my holiday destination

  36290. I just got scammed out of $194.11 from a fake Amazon help line number
    1
  36291. I am a long time language learner and student. I know how to say hello in 30 languages, but I would never ever say that I speak 30 languages. That would be like knowing how to play a single note on 30 different musical instruments, and telling people that you play 30 instruments. I can only speak two languages to the point of being able to fluently converse about practically any topic, and a third language almost to that point, but not with perfect grammar. Memorizing phrases does not mean you speak a language fluently. I see this sometimes in these "polyglot speaks 30 languages with strangers" videos, where the other person responds in a way the guy doesn't expect, and it's clear he doesn't know how to react, and just ignores it and switches to a completely random, unrelated phrase, like "I like (insert famous food from that country)". I don't mean to discourage these people, because it's still better than not even trying to learn another language. I just think it's better to focus on dedicating yourself to learning one or two languages at a time until you reach a reasonably proficient level before starting to study other languages, rather than just memorizing a dozen or so set phrases in a bunch of languages at a time and not being proficient in any of them.

  36316. I think you might be saying “Tokyo” with 頭高 pitch accent but I believe it’s 平板. Or maybe you just say it the foreign way when speaking English? I find myself doing that when I say “anime”
    1
  36317. Yeah I agree it’s not super important and shouldn’t be someone’s main focus. It’s more of an afterthought. And of course I wouldn’t have mentioned it if you’re Japanese wasn’t really great 😁👍🏻

  36318. Please be careful😟 people are people, I agree 😌

  36319. She looks cool AF in that outfit with her red hair 😍

  36320. If you dont understand why anime is good may be you should watch Eiga Koe no Katach (has a manga) or Kotonoha no Niwa(Its just 40m long). Obviously anime/manga is filled with stupid content just like any other type of media. To be honest nobody should limit themselfs by a type of media. Just have to find the good ones.
    1
  36321. I've really enjoyed watching these episodes on western looking people being born in the Far East. I wonder if there are any 1st generation Japanese born and raised westerners that struggle to speak English. I assume it's rare because English is like the world's lingua franca or universal language. Many Asian Americans seem to struggle with their parents' s mother tongue.
    1
  36322. 16 an hour? Is that like 2k yen an hour? The problem with classroom management is that ALT are not considered teachers. They are considered tape recorders. That means the students don't think of you as an authority figure. One interesting aspect you might find a bit disheartening is that the reason you had so many older male students is because.... hmm.... well, one time I met some foreign ladies who worked at a gaijin hostess bar. They pointed out that we have the same job. We get paid to talk with people we wouldn't normally talk with. I have a friend who is a real hunk of a gaijin guy, and his private classes are 100% female students. Not a guy to be found. You have mostly older male students for the same reason.
    1
  36323.  @OrientalPearl  you mean 1700 an hour? That's barely higher than a konbini part time worker's pay.

  36326. You're a multilingual beauty. Since you're pretty, every Asian is shocked when you're speaking their mother tongue. One more thing is like this: very few girls with fair skin speak Mandarin Korean or Japanese fluently. 继续加油，学说中国话，朋友遍天下。

  36334. I often wondered by seeing Chinese-speaking-Western-Youtubers saying "No no, it's not that good' to being complimented on their Mandarin. It's good to know the proper way to being complimented, imo. Very culturally enlightening!

  36335. Since I rarely comment your videos, here I come again 😅 I wish you and him the best of the life. I did not expect you to get married so fast. Idk what else to say. 😃

  36337. Youve made a decision many people could only dream of including me. If I had the choice I would stay in Asia and never come back to america. America is in a bad place right now and will be for decades to come. Ive done alot of research and travel into asia and life is just better there for the forseeable future.

  36338. Congrats to both of you!

  36339. I think anywhere else but US,UK Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, where the local think their own language is not the world’s standard, they will act exactly the same. Whenever I went to France and spoke in French, they said to me like “ Oh your French is good!”. I mean those English speaking countries expect foreign visitors speak in English but no other language speaking countries would expect that foreigners could speak in their own languages.

  36340. Hey oriental pearl i have a question could you explain how i can go study abroad im on my second year of college but im thinking of studying abroad in china and japan do the same thing you did which was learn both languages. Next year imma be a 3rd year on college so im working on a transfer application so i can transfer schools since im in a community college so i was wondering even though ill be a new tranfer student can i still apply for a study abroad ?

  36346. Greetings from Brazil 🙂🇧🇷

  36347. Just found your channel 👍 I like multi-language people, I think Japanese is harder in writing, likewise Chinese Mandarin harder in speaking. I worked once in multi national company, so I sometimes felt depressed when I said wrong intonation in Mandarin. I speak better in English and Japanese 😅
    1
  36348. I would have thought that Korean would be a little easier than Japanese and Chinese. Languages that are written phonetically seem like they are easier to study and memorise - although I think Korean is complicated by Chinese characters and isn't just the phonetic hangul (?).
    1
  36349. Although this is a very late comment, I will add my two cents anyway. Culture is a funny concept to me. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, nothing foreign from Western life or other places was allowed, not even music. Same in many other countries and places. People migrated from Italy to America, from Japan and Russia to Brazil. This inter-culturalization allowed for not only the exchange of language but also the way we think about others and life in a positive way. People are fickle and history repeats itself over and again. This time in the form of a culture/community of language learners. There is nothing to guard, no secrets to keep. oriental Pearl is doing a great service. More than half the worlds population wish they could achieve something, do more and experience new things. Many times, it's this type of content that creates a fire within the viewer to go and try that experience and understand that if you know some words/phrases, how much better it would be. In the end, people are people and they are gonna talk and have opinions/views and it will continue as long as someone thinks like they do and perpetuates the thought. Negative opinions don't matter. Keep doing you boo-boo and bask in the glory of hatervision 2.0. 2.5 coming soon!

  36355. So much valuable truth in this. Not just applying to language learning but everything from bodybuilding to guitar playing to computer software. Youtube is to learning scams much like eBay is to consumer products. A wild west where the gullible get caught time and again. Moral of the story: if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is.

  36365. A very interesting video. I noticed that you become Japanese when you speak it. I do the same when I speak Russian (I am English). I take on the personality of that language, which is logical, as you have to 'blend in' with the natives; a question of survival...

  36397. This is really just the nature of the beast...the medium is the message and youtube is particularly geared towards entertainment and controversy over content and the promotion of amateurs with a good sales pitch, like Stephen "you learn to understand a language by understanding a bit more than you currently understand" Krashen.

  36400. I am so impressed that your pinyin is so accurate. Its v easy to tell whos a foreigner based on pinyin. But ur pinyin is almost 100% like a native speaker, same with the flow of ur sentences and expressions. I would have thought you grew up in a chinese speaking family or country. Amazing man!

  36404. I would have told my friend if he asked. Honesty is important to me. I'm German and I used to speak 5 other European languages. English & French at school and Italian & Spanish later at university. The classes at uni were really bad. It was like a lecture & that's not the way to learn a language. There was no communication. So I went somewhere else. I never tried Asian languages due to the signs. I don't think I'd be able to do that. It's almost like drawing which I can't do either 😅 Since I got sick, I lost a lot of what I knew. English is still okay because it's my first second language and I watch movies & series in original version. Understanding the other languages is still a little bit better than speaking but I don't think I could do a conversion in Dutch (A1), Spanish (A2) or Italian (B2) anymore. In French (C1, DALF) I have basic skills left, but it's nothing like it used to be. It's sad that you lose so much when you don't use it (and when your brain gets fried from a neuro-immunological illness like mine 🙈). Unfortunately, I never really traveled. I wish I did. Now I'm sick and I might never get the chance. Great to see you do what you love! 💚

  36426. You're literally living my dream, being able to speak multiple languages like that on a conversational level. I only know Filipino and English, and that's only because they're mandatory to learn in our country as the first and second language. I hope I could learn another Asian language one of these days, preferably Japanese. 😊

  36429. In Amsterdam they often enough send people the wrong way. But not to save face, but to screw with tourists. So you may want to go to Madame Tussaud and end up in the sex museum, or want to visit some historic place and walk inbetween red lights with ladies in the windows and massive dildos proudly displayed in the window.

  36438. Anming, so here is something I heard lately that I wonder if you can ask people in Japan about. I read that when toasting you should let the most senior (or highest status) person's cup be the highest in the toast. Is this a common etiquette there? Or another one of those etiquette myths?

Just turn off all of the lights in the room at night and watch the city. That's bucket list stuff. Beyond envious.

  36445. OMG please do more of these outside of major cities. This is sooooo cooool!
    1
  36446. Hey, I have an idea for you. Why not curate tours like this farm house dinner where only you would have a chance to experience and we (Americans) who can’t speak or know of these things would be interested in doing. It doesn’t have to be a big, long tour. It could be a short side trip for people who are already visiting Japan.
    1
  36447. LIKE. A. BOSS.! No more Anming, we should start calling you #BOSS! im telling you Anming, next time youre REALLY bored, go watch your videos from March. You'll see the difference now. CONFIDENCE. Also, have you considered wearing sunglasses when making videos? The mask is a great... mask (sorry lol), but perhaps if you covered your eyes, youd avoid the "OMG SHE SPEAKS Japanese/Chinese SO WELL" situations?

  36452. You shouldn't be too hard on the old perv, even though he was brazen you would've appeared to him as an exotic creature too cute to ignore - a cross between a Pikachu and a unicorn. Of course we don't know the extent he may have gone to... as long as he wasn't aggressive or rude... Our family home in Tokyo is in an outer ku so they actually have about six feet between neighboring houses and a small backyard (about ten feet deep), a rarity in Tokyo - years ago it was valued in the millions (of dollars). You only have to look at the narrow streets to know space is at a premium. (just woke up, in the dark, to find another delightful video by your good self - thanks for the cheer up)

  36480. @Oriental Pearl - Just to let you know, there’s always been people scamming other people who are vulnerable, way before the COVID 19 crisis occurred. And, it’s really unfortunate. For instance, I’m sure you heard about people from India or Pakistan, scamming the elderly thousands of dollars, who are from the US. Also, the age that we’re living in, it is absolutely easy for people to steal other people’s personal data, unfortunately. And, our data is pretty much everywhere in the digital world, for people to steal and used. Our data is also being sold to other companies as well as to complete strangers, without our consent. Therefore we always need to be extremely careful and alert, when we are on the internet. And, continue to always be alert and cautious on the internet, like you’ve been before.

Mainly if someone does something stupid or doesn’t know how to do something you typically hear “ da mn yankee” lol. “Don’t talk like such a yank” is heard a lot in my circle when someone says something like “soda” or a very northern phrase lol. Not really bad but I guess negative connotation

Follow Ideas Not Men. ★ If a person had done an extra ordinary achievement and helped most of the people , we come to a conclusion that he is good and we can follow whatever he says. ★ This is the Cognitive bias – a systematic error in thinking. ★ We think that a sample taken from a enormous quantity is same as that of others surrounding that sample. ★ This is the problem of sampling.

  36548. Mannnnnn... I've been studying languages since I was in Junior high as a hobby because I basically love to talk (to people) too much. The way others light up and are so humble that you took time out of your life to learn their culture and even try to talk to them makes all the ignorance from asshats like are highlighted in this video all that much sweeter. Zutto ni ii kimochi da na motto motto kudasai ne. The genuine interactions and these people taking you in as their own completely trumps anything any of these low lifes can do to us, so keep up the good fight. You do you. Those that have shit to say never do so let them stew in their squalor. Hell me doing what I've done gave me 15 years in video game development which I would never give up those memories for anything. Forget them continue loving life and embracing it. We can all tell you love it so screw them. <3

  36552. Despite being interesting to see this feat, it is also very rare that a person normally can spend 6h a day, everyday solely to a thing. I would like to believe you already have a University's course done by the time you have started to learn, and during the time you spent learning Chinese, your other obligation was just to work. In such case, it is totally feasible. But, for a person doing a Master's in engineering, for example, it is very difficult to maintain everything together and yet find 6 hour PER DAY to study something entirely else.

  36555. @Oriental Pearl I am not quite sure if you are trying to make the point that in big cities you do not get much of a reaction about your Japanese and in the country it is a BIG deal. While it is true I have not lived in Japan for 18years, I have lived outside Nagasaki and in Tokyo, and visit every couple years to my wife's parents in Shizuoka. As a fluent Japanese speaking white Caucasian I will tell you the biggest reaction/over reaction is in Tokyo. I will tell you why. In Tokyo they are used to the myriad of foreigners who can't speak Japanese. So when the do run into a foreigner who is fluent it is quite a shock to them. Living out in the country, where there are no English signs, I think the local thinking is "Hmm, you must be able to speak Japanese if you are out this far in the bumpkins.". A little hint for those still learning Japanese "日本語は上手ですね” is not a complement on your Japanese ability, it is a test to see if you truely understand JAPANESE culture. If "ありがとう”is you reply, you fail. If "いえいえ、まだ初心者です。" is your reply, you pass....You have just earned mad respect, and actually put a wall because you understand the JAPANESE culture, and now force them to use 本音and 建前 with you. So make sure you understand Honne and Tatemae before proceeding to answer humbly to "日本語は上手ですねえ"。 At least this has been my experience.

  36556. "Harajuku is the place where people are not shy" That's an interesting new point of view for me Japanese, I haven't thought of it. And you come to Osaka things are the opposite that you'll find it hard to meet shy person like in Tokyo.🤣 Looking forward to watching this series of video in Osaka!

Edit: Sorry, I don't want to detract from what the "polyglots" have done, it's still very impressive that they can have a basic conversation with sooooo many people. Edit 2: Oriental Pearl - You are completely wrong about one thing, @11:25 you make a false statement. You say you only speak Chinese and Japanese yet you are talking in American. (I say that because Americans haven't spoken English for some time.)

  36572. Second time to try this. I think this is another case of the visual predisposing an action based on an erroneous conclusion. Ethnicity in a more homogeneous population is one of the ways people erroneously categorize strangers. The same is true for manner of dress, language, wealth. The primary difference is that your ethnicity is intrinsic to your being and can't usually be changed. It's the old one of these things is not like the others. Aju is another of the unique and interesting people that you interview. Her experiences are bound to be different from fully ethnically Japanese people. Her abilities at kendama immediately attracted the attention of passerby's because they know that it is difficult with a lot of practice. They assume based on their visual categorize that she will probably not be skilled. When they see that Aju is skilled, they want to observe her performance. Aju has a strong sense of self which informs her resignation at the reactions that she engenders. She is also a performer which brings with it's own set of problematic interactions. It's unfortunate that I've already caught up with all of your past videos. So I'll just wait for your next video, somewhat patiently. This was great video, with a lot of fun elements. Anming captured the ball twice in a row, like a true kendama master. すごい

  36574. I am a Korean American studying Japanese. I went through all 5 units of Pimsleur Japanese. I found that Pimsleur helped me to talk in Japanese. Textbooks are not enough for conversing. Also convenient. I did most lessons on my commute. I cannot wait to see you do Korean videos. Have you visited Korea?

  36575. My China experience was 2 months in Kunming on business. It was the sickest I’ve ever been in my life (sinus infection). So the plus side with a 7 day fever is that I started writing poetry. When the fever broke after the antibiotics kicked in, my short lived writing gift vanished. 😀

  36601. The image I get when the word slums comes up is of India. That country is much maligned by western media for that. When in reality slums exists in all major countries in the world, though the degree of prevalence varies. Slums exists in almost all major cities in the US. I have seen it in London, Paris, Madrid and Rome. Seeing this in Japan is little surprising, though.. shows that inequality in society is universal.

  36602. I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…

  36614. I have been wondering about whether or not these "Onsen" videos I have seen are really real or not. I was also hoping you would visit one, but alas, you must have visited this one with a guarantee or something that nobody else would come in! I mean, you said it was a male onsen and yet, nobody showed up. In the videos I have seen, and they are widely available online, you seen men and women in the same hot spring, and they are all naked. Of course, at first, the women are usually shy and sit there covering themselves up with a towel, but they always later on end up dropping the towel and just enjoying the hot spring. This was basically a video of you with your husband in a hot spring. I was really hoping you would do an indepth report on the Onsens that are in Japan, or whether or not they are even still around. There are also the Japanese Sauna videos where men go to get cleaned up by women who are usually wearing small swimsuits. By the way, there are also these same kind of Japanese spas where women go in to get cleaned up and they get to choose whether they want a women or man to do the cleaning. Either way, these videos are quite entertaining to watch! They are yet another source of video material and research for Anming!

  36623. In the 90's I discovered how to slow done french people speaking french. That is by speaking french very fast in a mumbling way. This makes them insecure and start to speak slower and more articulated. This way I could understand what they said. The same thing is happening in your video. To me he speaks mumbling japanese and I could not make anything of it. It was one blur of sounds. And you understood him. That is to me very impressive. I hope I am not offending you.

  36626. Well, I can't be Frank, cause that's not my name. However, I could act as a fictional character called Frank. Is Taylor Jones really angry? I'd say no he's not angry, but he is bothered by people who misrepresent their abilities. He is more upset with those who are profiting by selling there own language courses. The one time I thought he was really angry was when he talked individuals who claimed to be the secret last speaker of a dead language. I will disagree with his statement that people need some sort language training authority document to make their language ability valid. Arguing from a position of authority granted by some organization doesn't necessarily mean competency. It just means one knew enough to pass exams and get some sort of certification. That doesn't mean I'm against education from competent authorities, it's just there are some individuals whom I've met who have achieved a proficiency in languages other than own native language, without formal training or education. I've learned that many so called experts only know slightly more about their area of expertise than any uninformed random individual. This includes language experts and educators. Anyway, I found this video interesting and informative. I'm here because you are the real deal, and I can trust you to be straight with your audience. Sometimes it's hard to hear what you don't want to hear, and I've got some scars where you burned me for lack of effort or ineffective effort. Oh, if you do make that video to force him to eat his hat or two, I'm one of your regulars who will watch the whole video. Besides, I'd find it funny if he did eat a hat or two.
    1
  36627. You are right! People are people and when it comes down to it I truly believe that a smile, kindness and especially learning that language of the country you are visiting or living in goes a long way. I think it's so cool to watch your videos and understand the culture and most of all I see the people laugh and really like that you are a part of their community. Too cool!

I hope some day i can speack a little bit of japanese..... i get scared because japanese is sooo huge to study.... have so many things....

  36636. The brief conversations content creators put out there serve to produce great content and in the moment, they make many of the native speakers feel more welcomed and at home in a foreign country. It also serves to motivate others because low level live practice is still practice. Many "study" a language for years and are still afraid to converse in the foreign language. While many of the "polyglots" do memorise some scripts or at the minimum have basic sentence structure down, doing this still requires a great deal of effort. What makes the difference is when the content creators explicitly express that it is a process and are honest about the work you need to put in in any language to improve steadily.

  36640. Absolutely fascinating

  36641. Late but I do want to point out some distinctions, like in Chinese, I’ve heard people that has spoken Chinese and can read and write it WAYYY better than me, who lived there for 7 years in my childhood. But I can still hear a bit of foreign accent that’s apparent. The difference is that you can tell they know the language well, and that little bit of accent, (which for me I can hear it a lot in foreigners coming to Japan or China ad that’s the main two other languages I speak besides English) doesn’t make it any less impressive, even if they have a hard time pronouncing the “r” in Japanese, or something like that, I still have a bit of trouble with “th” even though I’ve lived in America for most of my life and studied here since 3rd grade. So yeah, accents, don’t be self conscious about them, it doesn’t make you any less of a linguist, but the people that just say random jibber is in Romaji and say “yEaH wHiTe gUy SuRpRiSeS jApAneSe lOcAls wItH PERFECT JAPANESE!,!” That’s just faking dude.

  36672. Spanish is so much easier than Chinese, I could reach a level to maintain conversation after 6 months of self study and after 2 years in Latin America speak the language comfortably (although still not fluent like native level), I've been learning Japanese for maybe 3 months now, I still don't even have the most common verb conjugations and essential words from N5 memorised. I think speaking advanced Chinese or Japanese would be very difficult to achieve without moving to those respective countries also.

  36698. The North-East of China definitely sounds like the North-East of the UK. It's colder here than in the South and our people are more open and friendly, and we have many comedians and also athletes. If you ever visit the UK, I'd recommend a trip to the North-East, maybe York or Durham. Your personality would fit in much better there than in London.

  36706. The graffiti on the various walls are in an East Los Angeles graffiti style. I'm from Los Angeles, so I've seen that style around my neighborhood. Pretty cool! I've heard that in Japan, there is a generation of Japanese who follow the old "cholo" and "gangster hip hop Mexican American" style of dress. They also tend to mimic the style in art, graffiti, and even have the low riders driving around Japan. It was really awesome seeing it around the various backgrounds, as you were walking around. :) It shows a little bit of the "outsider" culture of Japan as well. It was nice to see that part of Japan on this video. :) It is a respectable part of their own culture too, since they were able to make the "cholo culture" a part of their own culture as well. :) It shows the kind of dedication and respect Japanese have for other cultures, of being open to experience other cultures. Thank you!

  36723. It's bothering me also when people say "fluent" at some language and consider as polyglots just because they know a few sentences to respond to another few sentences and told people to do this to do that to be "fluent". That's not right. P.s: I just realized your eyes are blue lol 👀

  36727. Any Chinese person in Japan meeting you must be a sweet and sour experience. Interaction with you is awesome but at the same time your time in China must also induce homesickness in them. BTW...changing Peace -> Pearl Street can easily be done in the dead of night! :D

  36731. For me as a "Westerner" it is very easy to distinguish Japanese and Chinease and Thais and Vietnamese etc..... and gauge their age as well! A simple glimpse of their face is enough for me to find out ^^ /giggles

  36740. I watch Your and similar channels just to get see new places and for same reason why people watch reacting videos to some movies, language learning is not my preference, people reactions are

  36741. I love hearing native English speakers speak other languages fluently on YT, especially like you and Xiaoma, but I kind of hate listening to native English speakers speak Latin languages on YT. I suppose it's cause it's painfully obvious to discern between native and non-native speakers in Latin languages but the same can't be said for Americans speaking languages I don't know anything about (ex Japanese, Chinese). I applaud anyone learning a foreign language and, more so, if they can take it to fluency. It's beyond amazing. But I wish people took accents/naturalness more seriously cause, personally-speaking, the path towards sounding similar to a native speaker in the target language is an important one, in the language learning process. To me it's 1/4 or even 1/3 of the pleasure in learning a language.

  36753. I suck at speaking english, some words I have trouble to pronounce, number three, orginal etc. As an norwegian I speak like the rally driver Petter Solberg, just not as bad. Japaneese don't seem to be a such bad tounge twister as english, think it's beause some of the tones can be similar to norwegian. But writing in Japaneese would be really hard I guess. Btw, most american that talks norwegian, do suck at it lol. Like missionaries that have been teached by some other missionaries that talk bad and theaching them bad habbits. Btw, Lisa is really cute :-)

  36760. I saw three mistakes you made today. #1. You didn't get Ichiran for breakfast. #2. You didn't get Ichiran for lunch. #3. You didn't get Ichiran after work. 😁 Once a week, I take an hour long train into Manhattan and two subway lines to get Ichiran, then get right back onto the same subways lines and same train to get home. I can't wait until Japan reopens to tourists. Any ideas when that might be? I miss being there. I also need to visit Super Nintendo World at USJ. I already missed the Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba ride and the Nezuko popcorn box. Great videos. Thanks.

  36764. Subscribed! I love learning new languages (other than Japanese or Chinese) but can totally appreciate the ability to switch between languages on-the-fly once there’s a level of mastery achieved. My teachers once told me that if I could get to a point where I could dream in a foreign language then that’s the point at which it feels comfortable to do this switching so that makes sense to me. Great video!

  36765. 哈哈哈，我不是来测试你的中文的，正如你在视频中谈到的那些，我们学习需要就是为了更好的理解对方，尽量消除隔阂，促成一个更加美好的世界。我自己因为像你这样的人，激励着我在学习语言，这已经成为我的一种自觉～～学习英语，韩语。谢谢你，希望你能够越来来越好！我与你同在！

  36779. Great video. Best one so far. The videos that mean the most usually don't get watched the most. Like alot of artist who sing songs. Their favorite songs are usually the ones that aren't as popular, but that's okay. Because you do have a fan base who will watch (like me!) REGARDLESS of the title name or thumbnail. Don't lose faith, I love love love watching your videos. I hope things get better & stay safe!

  36811. I have watched many of Oriental Pearl's videos and this is one of my favorites. It really nails the feelings and looks of people you speak with when you start speaking in your native tongue and not theirs. I see myself in these videos on the places I travelled to. I always try to learn more than a few words and phrases when I visit a new country. The mood and attitude of the person you are speaking to really changes even if you are just uttering a few words in their language. I was in Japan in 2018 and really enjoyed speaking the little Japanese that I know. Sometimes a simple hello, good morning, etc. can really make a difference. Keep up the good work.

  36814. My father grew up in Detroit, and we used to go up to Michigan every few years to visit his father (my grandfather) who was taking care of my paternal grandmother with Alzheimer’s. I will never forget traveling down the highway and coming up to the Detroit skyline and seeing an oil barrel with flames coming out the top at the exact overpass where the city border was (I was about 10 years old at the time so I can’t tell you the exact interstate / overpass, but maybe I could if I looked it up on Google maps).

  36819. It's important to also show th other side of cities know to be tourist hotspots. Such areas are hidden so that illusion of the "beautiful" city remains. In times of ecconomic crisis with such an inflation as we see these days, even more people end up landing on the streets or in such slums. It's important not to forget these people who depend on welfare to survive.

  36826. Anming! Congrats. I've been watching your channel for a little over a year now. I watch every video! Post whatever you want because I will watch it. I know you have mentioned feeling unrewarded by putting time into videos that do not get results. Maybe if you focus your channel to be more about your personal life you can gain a new audience of people who don't necessarily care only about language learning, but also about you. This way they will be happy as long as you are in the video. Just my 2 cents, take care!

  36834. We were stationed in Korea and one of the best speaking foreigners whom I met while we were there was an unpresumptuous guy from Maryland who worked as a professor at a local university. He just blends right in but at the same time he sticks out. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I told him that he should guest star in some Korean TV talk shows or reality shows because that kinda thing is popular. He told me that he did do a few but the producers tried to make him sound like an over-the-top type of foreigner and IRL he is actually more soft-spoken. So, yeah, you're right... A lot of professionals don't do YouTube or TV because it's just not their cup of tea.

  36845. So, basically you are saying a lot of these YouTubers are like Lindsey Stirling? lol. Sorry, violin snob here. Just to put it into perspective though. Many people find her very entertaining and she packs arenas for people to go see her. As someone who knows the instrument, I see that she's a gimmick. But is that truly a good or bad thing? I think it's good if people are more interested in the violin. But her music just isn't for me, because I can name musicians who do what she does(even the contemporary songs she does), but much much better. Sometimes I guess it's a fine line between the "gimmick" people and the frauds.

  36852. I totally think it’s crazy how they were slanting the idea behind your friends title ... Being a native English speaker I totally understood they meant let’s see if we can get by with out Japanese I mean I speak French not perfect anymore but I’d prefer English if I went to a French place so I’d try it first .... from everything I’ve seen In your videos and others like you when you try and have fun and then switch to their language those people light up like so much and are happy you can fully communicate ... but where just as happy to try and help as much as they could None of you are doing it to insult or humiliate people

  36894. Damn videos like this make me want to learn Chinese and Japanese but I am correctly taking French and I only know English and Spanish but that’s cause I am a Mexican who was born in the US anyways there are so many languages I wanna learn as I said Japanese and Chinese but also German and Italian and even Russian I doubt I’d be able to learn so many but I can’t always try

  36903. Thank you. It had to be said. I cringe when I hear the word "fluent." It takes years to learn a language. To be truly "fluent" you need to know literature, music, dialects, even TV commercials. It takes a lifetime to come close to knowing another culture.

  36906. I appreciate your videos and the positive attitude you choose to show them with. It has been motivating for me to realise how much commitment has been necessary for you to develop your multi-lingual abilities. You manage to present your videos in a very modest way, so such criticisms as you have noted seem unnecessary. Please continue to stay positive and focus on the support instead. Any negative feedback with regards to your videos are more likely a representation of so many more positive impressions, even if they don't appear to be emphasised.

  36937. Why Chinese people find to hard to learn Japanese? It's literally one of the flattest language ever. Speaking Japanese is not that hard. Actually hardest part is the Kanji, which Chinese people find it pretty easy. It's odd. :)

  36938. Tommy is so cute!!!!

  36940. I speak two languages, English is my second language. I tried so hard to learn third language and it's never easy. I learned Spanish for months but I still barely remember the words I learned. I watched those polyglots, they made everything sounds so easy to learn and honestly it made me feel bad about myself because it really took times for me even to understand how to make a sentence in one language 😭😭
    1
  36941. Wow this was so great! I didnt realize you started to do vlogs. And you're really good at it! Which one should I watch next?

  36942. Hahaha i love you're good vibes contents😍

  36944. Learning languages is hard... I'm struggling so much just to learn French and I started a year ago. I can imagine it would be very off putting to see a lot of fake polyglots online making language learning look so easy only for genuine language students to struggle in comparison and risk being disheartened and giving it up. Happily I've had a very positive experience with polyglots and it was watching videos from the various polyglot conferences that inspired me to take language learning seriously after previously just doing basic intro classes or using an app in a vein hope to pickup a level 5 language. I felt that I wasn't getting anywhere with my language studies a few months ago so I started a spreadsheet to record exactly what I am doing each time I study and how many minutes I am studying to help me gauge my commitment and to try and spot trends or weaknesses. Even being in a lockdown I've found it harder than I anticipated to give my studies as much time as I feel I need and have to dramatically ramp up my commitment since my last trip to France. I think those who only see some of these fake YouTube polyglots will be shocked at what it takes to truly learn a language.

  36945. Congratulations.

  36946. Just started following your Vlogs, I love the stories about you and Tommy, you guys are super cute and you laugh so much together.... That's so important can't wait to see Tommy in America.... congratulations to you both from Ireland 🎉 🇮🇪

  36947. Can't help watching your videos. Love your attitude - how you are facing the you-know-what situation and difficulties, how you talk to ppl with different ethinic and culture backgrounds - i.e. nicely and respectfuly. Subscribed immediately and looking forward for new ones. I am a Chinese lived in US for 20 years and travled a lot recently. Love to see people from all over the world talk and befriend peacefully and gracefully, no matter what the politicians say and whatever they do.

  36970. I got so excited when I saw Hawaiian Airlines & then saw you & Tommy were on O'ahu!! I'm from Hawai'i & you inspired me to take up Japanese again, so that I can speak to people who are visting Hawai'i. You probably noticed O'ahu has A LOT of Asian Influence Chinese, Japanese, even Korean. So when I visit O'ahu I practice reading & speaking Japanese sometimes I get lucky & I am able to speak with a few people. I hope to learn Korean next. Hope you & Tommy enjoyed your stay in Hawai'i. Aloha! 🌺🤙🏼

  36971. I find the street talking videos motivational. That I can try talk to native speakers and that they will not judge even when i am at a horrible level at it. Knowing that native speakers will be overjoyed that someone is trying to learn their language helps a lot. Knowing that i don't have to be native level perfect before trying to speak it. As an aspiring polyglot(learning 6 languages at the same time, all at different levels atm), the street videos are super helpful, as they also function as learning material.

  36972. amazing/I don't know what to say. As soon as i saved/ or have enough money to visit Japan. Covid happens. but Really I love watching Japan through your perspective.

I love how you speak multiple languages and that is so fricken cool and I hope you keep on fighting through because all though people may still criticize, you just fight through it. YOU GOT THIS!

  36995. Thb the country side of Japan kind of looks like a mix between Brampton and Barrie. I used to live in Toronto but moved to Brampton. I used to hate how far things where in Brampton compared to Toronto but now I don't mind it since I been living up here for a few years. I visited Barrie 3 times. If you ever vist Ontario Canada during the summer vist Berry it's beautiful. There is farm land for miles and the lake up there is vary nice. It's almost as nice as Niagara but less noisy vary peaceful tho if you ever want to vist anywhere up there you WILL need a car xD.

  36996. It is definitely easier to walk up to a total stranger if you are a girl.

  36997. I've always wanted to learn Japanese, but there is no programs in my city. I have the dedication to do it, just might have to do a school far from home. I currently speak English, French, and german fluent. Thanks to both sets of grandparents being from france and the other from north Switzerland. Learning spanish now for work and its lot easier than I thought, though grammar is a little tricky. I hope to move on to Japanese, chinese and korean by the time I'm 30. You inspire me.

  37006. If you're in China as a tourist the people in cities that come up to you with anything above decent English are commonly scammers. Never heard the 'I'm a film maker' angle though haha.
    1
  37007. Why were they so nervous and afraid before you started speaking Japanese? Tourism and the amount of foreigners living in Japan has increased so much in recent, so you’d think they’d be used to foreigners
    1
  37008. You should be proud when people give you a nice comment. It takes a lot of years to speak a language to near perfection so enjoy.I can only speak English so feel lucky

  37009. Her Chinese is Amazing!
    1
  37010. Learning reading and writing 汉字 has been extremely difficult, but I'm definitely glad I am taking the time. Because the time lost focusing on that is quickly paying dividends on helping me learn speaking and listening just because I have an anchor. It's a shame many people learning Chinese simply skip it.
    1
  37011. Here in Greece we have the same reaction. Everyone stares at you if you look foreign. It's not a bad thing tho we just do it because It's rare to see foreigners here (when it isn't summer cause in summer tourists are more common to find than actual Greeks)

  37026. I love these videos but honestly with all the americans who know chinese and japanese fluently, Im very apprehensive about going because I dont speak any of the two languages. Now I feel like if I know nothing I shouldnt go. I know I could learn some basic phrases but even then, Ive seen then talk about americans when they thought they didnt know the language and that just sucks....I dont wanna be the person they are making fun of, right in front of my face. What a bummer.

  37033. This is an inspiring video. I'm just in Tokyo one year for work at university since february, I was not interested to learn japanese or stay more but after few months I'm really enjoying to discover this culture (despite the virus thing). You make me really think about staying more. And discover other Asian countries. Thank you for this kind of video.

  37041. Sooooo. for pantry help, a simple thing to do is cinder blocks and shelves. Another thing the fact that you've learned both Chinese and Japanese, is crazy. Currently I'm studying Japanese, and the only thing that I have going for me so far is my confidence, other than that not much of anything else. I don't know if your gonna see this or not, but your awesome, and good luck with your ventures.

  37052. These prejudice comments are the reason why I have the mentality to KNOW the thing I'm talking about either the same or more than the person I'm having as the audience. WHY would you talk about something that you haven't personally touched on? Try to learn language yourself and find out why people do what they do. Labeling what people do base on what you think when you haven't even dipped your toes in the topic is like you being a karen about how nobody likes pizzas (not that I'm saying everybody likes pizza). The point is, why would you hate on something you don't know about when it does nothing AT ALL except fuel your baseless ego. People are having fun improving and learning and you're just using your time to spread hate and stuff like that. Language learning is a hobby, a must, and even a source of income for some people. Dissing on some post that you DON'T even HAVE to click and then making a video and/or mesaage about is is kinda hypocritic ngl. People often think that they're doing more than what they actually are, and that makes them very vulnerable to others excelling over them, just worry about your own life and I'll carry on with mine. But hey, nothing we could do about it :)

Very interesting to see how a woman born in Japan and whose native language is Japanese is still treated like a foreigner in some regards. I'm also super impressed with your command of so many languages. Congratulations on having so many subscribers!!!

  37068. I have a disabled child too, and this "What DID YOU DO????" is very often heard here too (I live in romania, i am romanian). It's about the people. There are people like that everywhere. about cultural appropriation.... idk I feel like here we celebrate people that want to learn our culture, and admire people that eventually identify with it after living here for awhile, even if for a short amount of time. There are hateful people too, of course. But generally, it's a bit of an honour to see people from other countries loving our culture.

  37072. I loved Anthony Bourdains shows, but tbh you got as close to that vibe I've ever seen, if you would do more food and tradition related things, you'd be even more awesome than now

  37075. coldest city really? I felt very welcome in Japan. I don't speak a word Japanese and was lost at Shibuya, looking for the right train. The guy walked with me for 15 minutes right up to my gate. I was very humbled by that.....

  37076. I really like this video about japan and I use to live in Asaka Saitama it was really nice experience ... thanks for the video and hope u will upload more and more video in the future 🤗

  37077. My first time eating at a Japanese restaurant, I left a gratuity. The lady must of chased me 3 blocks to give back my money. I also attended a Janet Jackson concert in the 90s. They placed a souvenir on each seat. At the end of the concert, everyone left the souvenir back on the seat not knowing it was for them to keep.

  37079. お誕生日おめでとうございます. I was trying to repeat the Chinese words you were teaching your friend. Be glad you couldn't hear me! Japan really does have 4 beautiful, district seasons. In my state, we have about 1 1/2.

  37080. It may be considered old school but I think payphones are a good thing. Since cellphones are more common, they took out almost every payphone but there's still people that don't have one. Then there's an emergency if your cell phone is damaged.

  37081. That kind of humble culture is Japanese, not Chinese. Chinese humbleness is about the same as Americans.

  37082. if in the future I will go to live in Japan and my family would come to visit me and there had been an earthquake at that moment they would have been immediately scared but I would have remained calm.

  37083. I appreciate your honesty on the selection for interesting reactions and that most folks just go on about their day and aren't shocked. It's refreshing when someone is up front about their approach to making videos!

  37092. Hello Pearl, if you are looking for subtitle software, since you understand Chinese, I would like to recommend you to watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ath3BX9DBRs and download some programs, when you've done the subtitle file just directly upload it to Youtube.
    1
  37093. Yeah, I'd like to see more content like this.

  37094. You're amazing!

  37095. That was a great video. I apologize - I supported on Patreon and had to stop for a bit. I’ll be back to do so again. Your videos are superb and sharing in your journey is a joy. You are appreciated and valued.

  37103. You use the word "only" pretty loosely. You have an interesting personality and for me the Michigan connection made me stick around initially. I guess I can't imagine taking the leap that you did and it's admirable. Also I literally just posted my first video and it's nerve racking, the key is not to care right? I have a lot of respect for you guys who put yourself out there all of the time.

  37104. It's a good thing you made a video of the cave. The scale and effort it took wouldn't have been the same in photos. Fun times.

  37116. Randomly discovered your channel. I’m from Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦 Many from Japan and China live here. It’s quite awesome.
    1
  37117. My big takeaway from this video is that you need to put in so many hours a day for so many years to master a language. Reality check this is; thinking otherwise is just fooling ourselves. Thank you! On another note, I believe your incredible work ethics and your openness to other cultures helped you a lot to blend in in China and Japan. Am I right?

  37118. So Fun to watch! Thank Y'all! Gonna go pop over to his channel now💖🥰👌🙌

  37126. I love your language fluency! What was your undergrad major in and what school did you go to? I’m an ABC too and need to brush up on my Mandarin reading skills! I’m also from Metro Detroit and we go to Toronto often because 10-15% of the population is Chinese and we like to go to the Chinese suburb of Markham for the food.

  37127. Such an interesting vid.Thank you
    1
  37128. I adore your casual vlogs like this! Really enjoy hearing you speak to natives as well in Japan and when you switch to Chinese - those are the vids that started me watching your channel and then I stayed for your personality. Whatever content you put out we will watch cos it’s you doing it, don’t try and please people just put out whatever content you feel like at the time. This was a brilliant and thoughtful idea for valentines! Looked super cosy and peaceful. How do you get your arms so nice and toned please share your secret! X

  37129. This is so Great. You've become a major tourist attraction. You'll be on maps. Tourist buses will drive past your home. Sell photos of yourself in action wandering around and interacting. You need to charge some sort of fee, though. They'll want to pay to see your every move. Think about that.

  37130. I love the reaction vids. Keep em' coming

  37131. Congratulations you two!!🥂🍾♥️ Your guys’s love is beautiful, I’m so happy for y’all!! I love what you said about being adaptable and being grateful for what you have (which is beautiful and a really nice example of what healthy relationships look like). I love that in this day and age marriage has become more about being with your best friend vs how it was in the past. Yay for new adventures!! 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️💐

  37135. I think it’s surprising when you start in English and people think you only speak English, THEN you start talking Chinese. If you start in Chinese right away, there are no assumptions taken and the surprise is gone.

  37139. As a cop in Hawaii, we have a lot of pure Japanese officers, born and raised here who don't speak a word of Japanese. Encounters with Japanese tourist who look at the officers features then at his Japanese name on his name tag, and they rap off Japanese right away, and the officer always has to apologize, that he can't understand what they are saying.

  37143. I would've expected them to be even more surprised given that an American who speaks another language in Japan would most likely speak Japanese, but maybe they're just desensitized by now to surprises after themselves being the minority for quite awhile. Also, I feel like the reason a lot of the other big language react channels get such bigger shock features is because they normally speak English first, then switch. If you approach someone who definitely speaks primarily Mandarin with English, then there's a good chance that you don't speak Mandarin (thus why they would get so surprised when the switch happens). However, I feel like it's becoming more and more common for particularly Americans to know Mandarin (complimented with more Americans living in China), so that an American that approaches you with Mandarin immediately isn't super surprising anymore. That being said, I feel like how you approached people in this video (speaking Mandarin first) is much more genuine and considerate compared to trying to "trick" them into thinking you didn't speak it. This react video is both more considerate to the people involved and also more accurate of what it's trying to solve (it actually asks the question, "do Chinese people think that a random American speaks Mandarin?" as opposed to "can I trick these people with my English into thinking I personally don't speak Mandarin?"), and I really appreciate it for that :) keep up the great work!

  37144. Being fluent and proficient in a foreign language is what i strive for. I studied /learned German for 7-8 Months and now living in Germany. Even tho german bf says i speak pretty good for someone who studied for several months, Im still learning everyday and pick up new words that i have not heard of before. At best, im at b1 level, but i see myself only at a2 level.

  37163. It's unfortunate when people fool themselves into believing that they can speak a language well, when they can't. I had a friend like that in Japan. He had been in Japan many years, like me, yet he made really super basic mistakes. He lived in a small town and instead of using it to his advantage to really immerse himself in Japanese, he took advantage of the fact that there weren't many other native English speakers around, so he stood out. He liked to stick out. His Japanese wasn't totally bad, but his assessment of his own Japanese was way off. He had even promised his wife that he would be in Japan to really immerse himself in the language and culture so that he could come out as a professional translator or college professor of Japanese in the USA. His poor wife was waiting for him in another country while he just sat around, taught low-level English classes here and there, got on the phone with his family and friends in the USA, hung out with some of the lowest forms of native-English-speaking life in Japan, etc. He wouldn't even touch a video like this. It would offend him too much. "How dare they talk as if they understand language learning! I know language learning." He was so egotistical. Glad he's not been around me the past couple of years.

  37165. Your charm is irresistible!!😁 You look energetic.💪 You have a great smile. I love you!!😘 Now, the world can be a nasty crazy place out there, we need a lot of courage and we need a lot of resilience after that, and we will fall down before we stand up… What really matters is the silence of the night in our conscience, when we are alone. We cannot control what happens but we can use what happens. We have so much reserves of love and support inside us, if we can just remember that in our mind and move on.

  37167. Excellent opening scene with that panorama of colour and beauty. The balance of three languages in a boardroom is nice to have, but, that higher level of the language needed is the last bastion in your quest. Carry on young padawan. lol. P.S. Thank-you and as always, wash your hands.

  37172. Watched so many of your videos and subscribed. I like your positive attitude. For example in one of the video the thing, perhaps some sort of sweet or cake, fell and it touched shoe of the guy who was beating but you said it was perfect seasoning! Congratulations on your wedding and new life ahead.

  37175. The japanese guy now shows you off to his friends as his GF. Have had it happening to me, when in a NY hotel elevator a South African Airlines crew was teasing one of their colleagues with her shy sexual attitude. She replied (in afrikaans) that if she wanted she would just sleep 'with that old guy there' (indicating me)("dan naai ek daardie ou man daar "). I immediately replied with "kamer 503" ("room 503), which of course led to lots of laughter and a very red face. Maybe it is OK to think not many South Africans in a NYC elevator, but the dutch generally have no problems understanding afrikaans. Oh, by the way....she did not show up that night. Darn!
    1
  37176. Sweden has a few things we say twice at times :) hej hej (hey hey), puss puss (kiss kiss), kram kram (hug hug), sedär sedär (I see I see) but with any language it's slightly regional, personality, friend group, sometimes context as well because some of them are to feel more friendly, some can sound like you are listening but sounding less rude because your reply is longer than just one word and stuff like that so it's kind of odd in a way and definitely hard to explain but... it's a thing. :) And the sayings and jokes that don't translate well.... that took time to get used to in English. If you ever hear a Swedish person say "taste is like the butt (divided)" and refers to varying opinions or "agree to disagree". :p

  37178. Hi Anming! How easy is it for Chinese people to immigrate to Japan? Is there any prejudice against Chinese immigrants in Japan?

  37179. chuugoku means China lol. Watashi ha nihon ni sunde ita/imashita means I used to live in Japan

  37180. You made it to Yokohama! No one recognized you but it was a fun piece to watch in a new environment. My brother's friend owns a restaurant there but i just don't remember the name.
    1
  37181. Bit on the fence on this topic. On one hand I don't think he means any harm and is just trying to do something a bit unique on the internet. On the other hand it does feel a little creepy to randomly approach girls with the 'sole' purpose of picking them up. I think it's fine to talk to random girls if the occasion arises. For example, your at a bar you knock into someone and it leads to a conversation or maybe you drop your drink or the other persons drink during the knock so you buy them another one to make up for it and it goes from there. But to solely just target girls on the street makes it a bit ummm... creepy. But again this guy seems respectful and is definitely not as creepy as some of the older ones that have approached you in the past.

  37230. Your videos are really inspiring. Right now I'm learning Japanese and am gonna be going to uni to study it in September but I also really wanna learn Chinese but Chinese is soooo hard especially since it's all kanji (well it's not kanji but idk what to call it) I need hirigana to give me so confidence but if you can do it then hopefully I can too.

  37231. Aren't the Taiwanese also switching away from their informal, family dialect, in order to speak with you in Mandarin? So wouldn't it be a little more formal and distant for them?

  37235. Now, the world can be a nasty crazy place out there, we need a lot of courage and we need a lot of resilience after that, and we will fall down before we stand up… What really matters is the silence of the night in our conscience, when we are alone. We cannot control what happens but we can use what happens. We have so much reserves of love and support inside us, if we can just remember that in our mind and move on.

  37241. Thanks for the tips and the encourage! I can relate that listening a lot to a language can help you get used to it a lot and trying to speak with native speakers helps the knowledge stay in your head. 加油💪 everyone

  37254. Randomly came across your videos, but I totally agree. You don't need to be an expert to speak with people. The first time I went to Japan, I was still at beginner level and I spoke Japanese with everybody. A janitor in Tokyo Station noticed I was lost and came up to me and asked me if I needed help. She ended up walking with me to my destination and we discussed about the places I went in Japan and the places she went to in the US. An older gentlemen talked to me about photography and showed me his landscape pictures from around Ishikawa Prefecture. Another man talked to me about baseball, especially since I mentioned I was from Houston and the Astros just won the World Series. They were all happy that I tried to have a conversation with them in Japanese! I hope you continue to travel, learn, and spread happiness!

  37266. I do enjoy these kind of videos. Where is what's in the country and not just the city but it in the countryside. Even if you just posted a video about the train ride looking out that would be interesting, to me at least

  37277. I've been watching quite a few of your videos the last couple weeks and it's interesting seeing your perspectives each day. I am wondering, has learning mandarin and japanese so well affected the way you pronounce English words? I notice you enunciate certain English words quite a bit, which helps with clarity. However, there are no old videos of you speaking English to confirm this.

  37278. when I feel bored...I just come to this amazing channel and watch some episodes and am done! easily I'm not bored anymore to watch ur beautiful episodes! ❤

  37288. Must agree with you at all. Specially about fashion (made me more confortable to use some clothes wihch would be "too alien" for western tastes) and friends. At some degree I would not complain about friends at all since I'm used to be alone and do things by myself, but comparing japanese behaviour vs. brazilian is so weird that I cannot even start. Same when we talk about relationships at all - I'm married right now, but if I was single and moved back to Japan I would dodge anykind of romantic thing at all. Had my (bad) share of experience.

  37303. When I was in Japan and eating at a restaurant in Shibuya, I caught someone taking a photo of me! I have very curly blonde hair and it became very apparent I stood out like a sore thumb even in Tokyo. I only wished the Japanese man had asked me to take the photo first then it wouldn't have been as strange for me. 😅 I try view that brief interaction as a compliment. Love your channel btw! Keep it up girl.

  37325. I love that you show off the hilarious and entertaining conversations, but also note that not all conversations are like that. I finally got the chance to use my French fluency around a month ago in Victoria (British Columbia) of all places, and it felt good that I could still understand and communicate easily with an actual French person 🤣 it was a very casual amd brief conversation, but he said my French was good, so that made me happy (since I can basically only practice with my twin) :) Thanks again for the video, they're always entertaining and informative!

    1
  37330. deanmeon Depends in the prefecture... Tokyo would be between late march-first days of April. The further down (south) you go the earlier they blossom. Just type on google ‘best time to view cherry blossoms in japan’ and you’ll get answers, I believe. There was this one page with the map and dates for each prefecture.

  37331. a little bit too late, I think but Congratulations on this exciting time in your lives!

  37347. To see how she avoids her eye contact in public so intensely and then just keep on with japanese as soon as she speaks japanese shows me how dysfunctional japanese society is in that aspect. Don't get me wrong, japanese society focuses on respect and care for the detail and many other things, however, as one of the most modern country in the world, if not THE most modern country in the world, japan clings too much onto many "traditional" views such as gender roles or the fact that one would not be able to engage into a "I am sorry, I don't speak that language"-gesture but instead just friendly nodd with no eye-contact. I mean it affected her mood apparently, her comfortableness in public drastically, this shouldn't be like that.

  37357. I wish I could get better at chinese in general before I start learning a different language because I grew up with the language but I struggle reading and writing hhdjdbd

  37358. I have dyslexia so I have learned to take things at my own pace. I think if you can approach learning with a sense of curiosity and realize that failing something is not a bad thing so long as you learn something from it the better you will be. Frankly we need more kindness in our world. Love your channel!

  37364. so great, speak chinese
    1
  37365. I noticed you don't just speak verbally. You have the nonverbal speech patterns down. I think that adds quite alot, especially in East Asian languages (but goes a long way in any language).
    1
  37366. I've had a few fun times freaking kids out in class who think they can talk shit about me or swear like crazy at their friends and I don't understand anything. Adult students recently moaning about something and not getting that I understood. Also the situation of them then changing languages and that not working out for them either (though, maybe I missed the ones where they were speaking a language I didnt' know, of course). Not so much in other situations, but occasionally: usually you're with a few friends speaking English and some other pair or group starts mouthing off about you or one of you. Once Germans on the tube in London ridiculing my friend's nose-ring. I generally leave these kind of situations uncommented, as they seemed to have the potential to trigger conflict. Sometimes you can hear fun things too; like listening to Germans on a train into London discussing 'real English food', saying quite true and funny things. Other times I've heard ridiculous stereotypes about westerners projected onto us (this has happened in Moscow several times); sometimes not so pleasant, that variant. Actually, I've been verbabally abused and even attacked in Russia for being a westerner, though this is a rarity.

  37367. that face at :23 LOL

  37368. so envious of you, maybe you could share some tips on how you learn chinese & especially japanese?
    1
  37369. I used to go to Japan a lot on business. I found that in the big cities, the residents would try to have some savoir faire, and avoid taking much notice of the giant European. Although if I looked like I was lost, or something, they would try to help me. However, especially in tourist spots, Japanese from the boonies could be heard commenting on the "tai gaijin". There was one memorable incident where I took a day off to do plane spotting at Narita, and I was surrounded by a group of elementary school students who were obviously on a field trip from the boonies. They were pointing and me and saying "gaikokujin" over and over again. There was another subtle incident where a tough little guy hanging out by a Narita exit, probably a security guard, looked me up and down and gulped. I'm 6'4", broad shouldered and barrel chested. I was tempted to tell him I was a lover, not a fighter. But then I brought my kids to Japan. On our first day in Tokyo, we had a mini-macho Japanese construction worker who looked like Fred Flintstone come bounding across the street saying "Welcome to Japan". There are very few "European" kids in Japan, even in Tokyo. Europeans are mostly businessmen, with a few women and tourists, so my kids got lots of attention. And being a dad with kids made me much less alien and formidable. I recommend taking kids to Japan. Of course I had visited a lot, so I had some experience with getting around and getting things done.

  37371. This is so cute. I'm sorry to hear that your family couldn't make it to your big day. I'm sure they would have lept at the opportunity if they could have. Also side note watching your videos spurred me to subscribe to Pimsuler and busuu ^^ I wish you and your husband all the joy and happy ess you deserve.

  37372. I’m only 14, but these videos really inspire me to try and learn Japanese. I am actually learning chinese as a course in school, because japanese wasn’t an option, but now i’m kind of up for teaching myself. Japan looks so cool and to be able to speak to people there would be amazinggg.

  37386. Don't need to feel uncomfy. Everyone is the same in public bath and turns out even the most reserved japanese person will love to start conversations in a shared public bath. I must admit the heat of the water is hardcore though. So when you do go to a public bath house be prepared you'll be well cooked and more then relaxed. 👌😊

  37387. Youtube came up with your video....and I think you are a nice authentic person. I speak a few languages...and want to learn Italian alot better than I know now. Japanese and Chinese sounds very cool but I think it is hard to learn. I think Dutch sounds like that for others...I am Dutch :)...well...I will keep watching your videos, I like seeing other languages, countries and experiences :)...keep up the good work! Cheers Maureen

  37396. I have a friend who is learning to speak Japanese (I think her family is French and Phillipenean or something, but we're both Canadian). She went to Japan a few months ago and told me that a waiter kept speaking to her in English even though she knew quite a bit of Japanese and was speaking it consistently. She kept talking in Japanese and it sounded like a really awkward situation 🤣🤣 But I mean good for her, she stuck with it!

  37409. For context busuu is an app that teaches you any language and let's you correspond with people that are learning the language and to motivate you how much you learn you get ranks and the more you learn the higher rank it also let's people review how you talk or how you write messages they check your grammar spelling ect I was learning japenese and it taught me hiragana and katana even though you could learn both in a day the point still stands I think it's the best language learning app you can use

Here in Bulgaria few tourists had conversation with me and all conversations last over 20-30 min from all people in the crowd in center of the city people start first with me. Do I have some vibe for chill person or cool male I dont know but I like outgoing people so I wont survive in Japan lmao

  37435. I'm a microscopic tiny 'niche' channel and yet I get hate too... Angry and jealous people are everywhere... I can't believe someone would hate this adorable guitarist... We know her from one of your earlier videos... Even if we're not in her life, I'm sure we're many proud of her for her performance at the Paralympics... Congrats Lisa ! As for you Anming... We're 477K supporting you, so much love here. It's tough to get hate, even if we distance ourselves from it... Focus on the good feedback that you deserve !

  37442. My sister used to live in Arizona but she heated the heat so she went to Killeen - Texas. In Paraguay schools have English and our native language wich is Guaraní but, if you go to an American school you have Spanish and English. I believe that teaching kids our native language it's very important because if you choose a carrier and you have to go to the country side you will definitely need Guaraní. A lot of people in the country side don't speak Spanish. Hello 👋 from Paraguay.

  37446. Imo I think you get more of the shock factor if you started your conversations with English and when you see that they're struggle is real you can then ease their suffering with Chinese. I think that your count on the shock scale will be much higher. Either way I'm impressed that you can also speak Japanese very well, so kudos to you. Have fun on your adventures :D

  37460. Hi how long do you stay in japan?
    1
  37461. I am curious why did you choose China? It sounds like you were very determined to get to a high level of chinese before you started studying, like you moved to China and decided "Oh I will become fluent and live here forever!". What made you make that choice, and why China? It takes a lot of conviction to be so gung ho about anything, I am impressed!

  37462. Awesome! Video 👍 more collaboration with new friend eating ice cream

  37480. It's just that you interact with the people. Some YouTubers walk around and avoid talking to locals. I guess they don't want to take the time to put in the subtitles. I just wish I could learn Japanese and Chinese. But I'm lucky to remember my street address and phone number. I've been trying to get my cousin to start her daughter on a couple languages .

  37481. Wow you are awesome i live in austria my dad comes froms from germany and my mom from the Ukraine, so my mouthertounge is german, i also speak russian and ukrainish, englisch and françis because of school, now i wanna learn japanese, because i love the language and wanna go there someday, also i wanna learn korean and chinese, i was so perplex when you nearly could speak all languages which i wanna learn, by the way i'm 15 years old, have you any tipps for me to learn a language easier or something like that, pls recommend me than❤❤❤

  37487. I absolutely admire you or anyone who loves to learn another language and their culture, then wanting to share it with the world in the most positive, fun and loving way. There's always someone who will hate and be negative for whatever stupid reason showing a true reflection of what's in their heart revealing their true character, in this case it's not good. I think you're amazing and I'm glad I found you. So keep doing you, blessings, love and light to you always.

  37501. Im so glad I found your channel. Usually people in videos like these speak with locals in a very awkward, forced way. Your videos are very entertaining since you are speaking with confidence

  37502. The Japanese guy and the Chinese guy when you say down in the restaurant and asked if they could toss the garbage both was like DAYMN I want to ask her out. The guy with the girl was so interested, kept checking you out 😅 type like their dream girl, blonde and can speak Chinese or Japanese. I want to be able to speak Japanese, Korean and German. Comet out to Southern Kanagawa, cheaper rent for bigger places, and it's more chill. We have a 2ldk for all little over 90,000en a month. It's two levels as well with a small backyard.

  37510. I didn't watch the video yet but the title kinda scares me off. I get it if the title/thumbnail works for most people and new viewers but for me personally videos with those types of titles makes me think the author is arrogant or one of those polyglots that just memorize specific sentences... Titling is something like "20 tips I used in my journey to Chinese fluency" makes it feel more personal and not a set method. Anyways just my feedback, only meant in a constructive way. Love the vids!

  37515. I was so happy to see you making people smile, wherever you go! When you speak to them in Japanese or Chinese, and they think you are some Russian beauty (I know, you are American, but foreigners think you look European or Russian), they just light up because they are amazed at how fluent you are! I can speak English, Spanish, German, Czech, and Russian (at varying levels of fluency), but it just keeps me hungry to always study and improve. I take lessons on italki.com every week (I have two Czech instructors and one Russian instructor) AND I'm enrolled with premier accounts on RussianPod101.com and CzechClass101.com, as well as with Pimsleur. Anming, you inspire me to keep up my studies and I can tell anyone else out there that Anming is exactly right- ANYONE CAN LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE! It just takes hard work and dedication... Anming, you are my hero!
    1
  37516. Actually I think in a way the people from the rich countries are so used to srangers that they just don't care. When a foreigner speaks French or English, most people are like "Oh yeah whatever" or even "This person has an awful accent duh". We're not even able to cheer people who give interest in our cultures, that's kinda sad.
    1
  37517. You're doing a great job. P.S. People from Michigan have strange accents.
    1
  37518. Would you ever be willing to make a video about how you achieved such good pronunciation in Chinese? Trying to achieve perfect / near native pronunciation has always been something that has interested me as well as made me a rather nervous and self conscious if I sound terrible. Sometimes just simple things like "actually do this with your mouth instead of this to make this sound" have greatly helped, or did you do shadowing a lot?
    1
  37519. I love that you made this video.. so true. at the end of the day the best bits make it into the video after all!

  37522. The homeless problem in Japan is a psychological problem. Japan government provides housing, medical care, education, and food. However, the homeless problem will not be solved without psychological support.

  37523. I can fully comprehend the sheer number of hours you've put in to learn both Chinese and Japanese. I momentarily forgot how to write sugar in Japanese as I only remember the Chinese one. But a quick look at the dictionary and the recall instantly came back. Language is what's it meant to be--a tool of communication and opening oneself up to the culture behind that language. The more you use it, the hardier and sharper the tool.

  37531. I was able to find a ticket on the last ferry out of Frankfurt a. M. along the Main river in Germany. There was quite a chill wind along that route that found many in the boats cabin. However, a handful of us weren't to be done in by the cold and had assembled ourselves around the smokestack for warmth. I struck up a conversation with a nice German woman speaking in German, of course. She commented on the many foreign tourists on board. I acknowledged her observation and we continued conversing. After a bit she asked me where I called home and I answered in brief, "Kalifornien." I don't believe she spoke another word to me for the rest of that trip. Oh well. I befriended a Russian and a British couple on board. What wonderful scenery to boot.| ( I must admit, though I am American, my mother was German and we spoke it fluently growing up. I hope that's not cheating here.)

  37542. I think you're so cool speaking both Japanese and Chinese so fluently. I have been studying Japanese a little for a few years but like you said I am my own enemy. I haven't dedicated much time for it. I wish I did. I was in Tokyo last summer and there were so many positive reactions when I spoke their language. Maybe I should give more into it while I'm home doing nothing special. Thanks for being you, you always make me smile and laugh.

  37561. I want to begin by saying, that I like very much to watch the videos of Oriental Pearl. I have no interest in learning Chinese or Japanese, although I am interested in Japanese and Chinese culture. . But to be honest, many of these 20 'secrets' sound much to me like a joke of one of the most well-known Dutch writers of the past. . Once an amateur pianist asked a world-class pianist how to become really good at playing the piano. . The pianist then said the following: 'If you practice for 8 years, 5 hours a day, then afterward, you can say that you have improved.' . Having said that, I found the first advice very good. She recommended beginning with the Pimsleur method. I did that with German, all 5 levels, and it took me about 7 months. Now I can speak and understand German fairly well. Every day I watch a German Krimi on YouTube and listen to the structure. That is also one of the things she recommends. . On Netflix you can also install a plugin that can help you in practicing any language. I use it to practice German. It is pretty tough, though to do it. To learn more about the Netflix plugin, look at this video https://youtu.be/2agy8AwoC50 There is also a similar plugin in development for YouTube.

  37571. What a fun video! I wonder if we can convince the female population in the USA to give men chocolate on Valentines Day? Lol. Just think of all the husband's sleeping on couches for trying to pull that off. Hahaha! I will say that I was startled with you almost falling on the ice. I broke my arm in three places that way in 2009 so my stronger arm became my weakest. It still hurts when the weather changes, enough to wake me up sometimes, so I can not stress enough the importance of good winter shoes! Perhaps you two can get ice cleats online or something that slips over your shoes and are easily removable when traveling in such terrain. Living in Alaska I use them quite a lot. Keep the videos coming and keep thinking outside the box. That's what sets your videos apart and filled with life.

  37584. Absolutely correct young lady! I learned laos from my husband because I thought his father was always talking about me, not knowing till later that he was talking about American in general. 40 years down the line still speak lao..

  37588. When your friend said she is your mom I start crying for all your family and me because my husband family was not present because my father in law was terminally Ill. 2 nd day after our wedding he passed 😢😢😢. His wish was that his son marry before he will be gone + the wadding was on my husband Bday and he ( father) did not want his son Bday be sad every year

  37589. I've always wondered what it would be like to be a non-Asian person who grew up in Japan. I've taught a few kids who weren't Asian at all but are growing up in Japan and I just think, "What a crazy life that must be." A lot of people just don't understand how extremely monoethnic Japan is. Not only that, but it's not like the language is widely spoken in other parts of the world. To be black or white in Japan and to speak perfect native Japanese would be amazing. I would prank so hard on people. XD

  37594. it's so fun watching your upbeat personality....been having too much anxiety here in sf, can't sleep and too stressed out, watching italy's situation unfolding and knowing they are a couple weeks ahead of us....awaiting our imbecile govt to come up with supplies and test kits...we have 6K cases already and that's BEFORE we have started to test the general public who needs to be tested...sigh...it's been very depressing and disturbing staying up with updates....i have to unplug....had to find some comedy videos and fun stuff to escape reality....and needing to go out for some fresh air...if anyone has any connections to biotech companies, get the word out to have send them over--SF, CA, & NY is in dire situation...it's deja vu Wuhan here no joke....some hospitals had their admin make makeshift faceguards with supplies bought from home depot....i couldn't get my hands on rubbing alcohol , so using very toxic chemicals to clean....

  37597. Hey @OrientalPearl I really enjoyed how you interacted with everyone at this store and how cordial all the staff and customers were. Just a suggestion, when switching over from Japanese to Chinese to English I noticed that the text is white for both English and Japanese. Maybe having each language a different color when being shown on the screen captions would help non native speakers. Thanks for showing us these interactions and your linguistic prowess!

  37629. 2 months deposit upfront is pretty standard for Asia, the additional gifts would vary for each different culture. I know for Malaysia and Singapore, just the deposit is expected, nothing more, everything else depends on the means of the tenant, so I was told it’s a much more forgiving rental situation, but if the landlord wants to visit, the tenant cannot refuse, it definitely is their house and not yours. A lot of the time, you will get a nice landlord who even gifts you things without expecting anything back, it can be plants or food or even furniture or white goods.

  37633. It's so beautiful to be young and in love, but meeting the future in-laws can be really tricky. You seem to have pulled off NOT screwing up the visit. I, unfortunately, was not as skilled on the first visit with my future in-laws. By the way, the ozoni looked delicious.

  37637. I think you are free to make videos and you are free to learn and speak languages. So i am proud of you guys for taking your time to learn other languages. They are just jealous people, especially because you get attentions and lots of views from it. Some angry because they speak a few languages but they didn’t record it or they don’t get any attention like you guys.

  37638. Hi! new subscriber. I love your video. I have been told if it is rains on your wedding, it's good luck. It rained on my wedding day back 2004 and it has been amazing, exciting and wonderful marriage for 18 years this Oct. Big congratulations to both of you. 頑張ってください

  37647. Well done Anming. When you can speak Chinese equally as good as the Chinese people and they appreciate it, you absolutely deserve the free stuff so take it. Also, you chose to learn Chinese and Japanese instead of getting hangovers so I guess that was a good choice. By the way. The skyline view from the railway tracks is amazing :-)
    1
  37648. It's when people stop saying that your foreign language skills are good that you know that they actually are. When they compliment you, they mean it's good for a foreigner. When they stop complimenting you, it means they aren't thinking about the fact you are a foreigner, but just reacting to the content of what you said.
    1
  37649. Yo, you guys... please be my friend. I’m asking cause I have no authority. I can hula hoop and would love to hang in Tokyo with you guys! This is the first time I’ve ever left a comment to be friends with anyone. I ain’t that desperate. But you girls are so fun! XD
    1
  37650. I'm surprised you're fluent in Japanese also! :o Although I'm not surprised that in Tokyo people are not so surprised, as it's such an international city - for Japan standards anyway.

  37655. A quick tip for y'all trying to learn a new language. This one I just thoight of when I was self studying Japanese and it worked! Learn their culture :) the history of the language and also the country or region it's being spoken to. Understand their culture. And for beginners listen to nursery rhymes, read childrens book and learn basic things like shapes, animals, colors, numbers I promise it'll go a long way🙏
    1
  37656. There is an illusion that getting into the local community can make someone master a language without serious practising. but as you suggested, you have put a huge amount of time ``behind the scene'' on collecting phrases, vocabularies and revising ..there is no shortcut for mastering a new language but consistent commitment.
    1
  37657. My question is why do people get offended for something that doesn't concern them. Like if it was a local thing I don't appreciate you using our culture than sure that's that one person's opinion but for someone who never has been to a certain place, never experience the culture truly, doesn't know anybody of that culture and probably doesn't know that much about it should probably keep their mouth shut... Like I know there was a big Trend it was either in Japan or South Korea this was back in the 90s early 2000's. Where Japanese boy bands and other styles will be completely solely based off the US. So like tanning and bleaching their hair blond and wearing American clothes and taking just random American slang. Is this culture appropriate yes...... it just shows that you like the culture you want to learn about it you're inspired by it. So to those solely think this is culture inappropriate that's fine you can have your own opinion just please don't speak on the behalf of that culture because doing that is cultural inappropriate

  37662. I will definitely feel very embarrassing if I encountered Japanese people who couldn’t speak English. Likewise, I wonder what I do in order to make them understand me?

  37667. おめでとう + 恭喜 I love Innovative Languages. I've been a Premium Member since 2017. It's the world's largest language education mobile app in over 30 languages. They're truly the best, to the point that I bought all their languages. Japanese was the first one I bought, then Chinese with the rest of the languages. Hope to see you soon on their app. I'm happy that you're going to have fun doing what you like best. Now you can learn Russian for free, so if anyone asks you if you're Russian, you can simply say [KNEE-YET] ;-p

  37668. ​ @OrientalPearl  I'm extremely excited to learn from you. I have never ever seen or heard a Female foreigner who can speak Nihongo & Putonghua as good as you. You even have a wonderful happy soul and I wish you all the success and happiness.

    1
  37672. It's because they idolize Japan and try to gatekeep it from others when no one would say this about someone whos entire family is from Mexico but they're the first to be born in the US, they're considered "just as American" as others who has been there for generations

  37681. Good job with the comments everyone.

  37691. You know what, beaing criticized or having a lot of bashers or haters in the Philippines is a good thing, it's a sign that your youtube channel is growing or being known by many.

  37692. Happy New Year and congratulations！

  37693. Oh dude, you're an exceptional artist , no doubt about it ,but your comment about NOT retiring is based on the immortality of youth. real " retirement " occurs when your mind says yes , but your body intervenes and says , " Oh Hell No " As my father use to say about older age , " it doesn't get better " 😂 Keep on drawing , your a genius and hang out with beautiful and intelligent women , like the one sitting next to you and you will be able to work for a very long time . 😎

  37700. Wait wait wait, hold on a minute. I'm trying to figure out the bald guy's train of thought. In what universe does showing that you can speak multiple languages "encourage people to persue money, fame, power, respect and sex"? Woah man, someone really hurt that guy

  37704. Yankee was around for a long time before the civil war, and was actually an insult used by the British during the time of the American Revolution. Most of the English speaking (non-American) world still uses it to refer to Americans, it's not as insulting as it was, but still not a great thing to be called

  37723. Speaking of “mannerism”, you should be able to tell right off the bat that the First Lady is from Shanghai (the accent speaking Mandarin and her body language) and second lady is a Japanese native (her facial features). By the way, there are many ethnic Chinese speaking perfect Japanese in Yokohama. My aunt can speak Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Toishanese all at native level. She was born in Yokohama and went to Chinese schools. Except her Mandarin/Cantonese comes with a lot of “nei” at the end of each sentence which indicates Japanese is her native tone.

  37733. I love watching the daily life of Japan in your videos. ほんとに懐かしい。How far into the Pimsleur Korean course are you? I gave up at lesson 11 =(. I wasn't doing it everyday like I intended and the subscription is pretty high so I'm going to stick to Anki and flash cards instead. I like the listen and repeat method though.

  37738. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. Anyway. What a cool Chinese supermarket. I also did the exchange rate from Japanese yen to US dollars of what you spent, and it was nearly 24 dollars US. Expensive for just a few items. By the way. Nothing creepy about someone following you around right?

  37743. Many of these YouTube polyglots claim to be fluent in Spanish and when they "speak" the language gosh they're so bad they mix genders, don't conjugate the verbs properly and tend to forget the articles and if I should be more strict about their skills I'll should add awful pronunciation to that list. The only youtuber who's really good at Spanish is Dustin Luke he fooled us all he sounds like a native lmao (and I'm saying this as a native Spanish speaker)

  37744. 最後の2分は新宿駅にいったね！　　よく知っています。　Thanks for the tips (secrets no more)! I make my own flash cards, read Japanese outloud, and when there is no one else to talk to, I have mock conversations in Japanese with myself outloud. For example, while driving to work I pretend that someone is interviewing me in Japanese or I tell about my hobbies or pretend I need help. I bet people who saw me must think I am crazy. ^_^ One thing to note about Japan, pronunciation is important to be understood, but perfect pronunciation can lead to trouble unless you grew up there. Having an accent is both sexy, cute and avoids trouble if you make a mistake with social rules and etiquette (people are much more forgiving of a foreigner who tries hard to understand the culture).

  37805. I speak Italian, French, English, Spanish and Portuguese and I can read cuneiform script and translate from Akkadian and Hittite. For some obvious reason I got profiled by Youtube, which shows me a lot of "polyglot" channels in my recommendations. I honestly found some of their videos pretty scary and to be honest completely misleading.  While I do agree with you that they may encourage people who are scared of learning languages to do so, I just can't help thinking that it is that same kind of channel which will eventually discourage them to actually pursue the learning process when the first hardships come. Because I learnt English, French and Spanish in high school, it almost feels like I've always known them and I've always felt pretty confident about my language learning skills ever-since. Now that I'm trying to learn German, I am completely puzzled because I had completely forgotten how frustrating it can actually be to start a language from scratch.  I am an experienced language learner and I know this is totally normal, but I can only imagine how it must feel for someone who, say, is struggling to learn English (which everybody seems to speak nowadays). Polyglot channels make it look simple and effortless to learn languages, whereas it is actually a painstaking process which can be very frustrating at times. I think that their overall balance is negative, because they definitely do worse than do good.

  37834. After decades and decades of fighting corporate lobbyists, smoking ads were finally banned in the US. What did the tobacco industry do? They went to India and China. And now, these two countries have a huge health problem with smoking. The incidence of lung cancer follows the same graph as smoking trends with a time lapse of around 20 years. This is what I gathered from 'The emperor of all maladies'. Unbridled capitalism at its 'finest'. So CCP, if you are listening, it's time to upend your game.

The filling of Daihuku was white in color unexpectedly for you. That is made from white kidney beans unlike black fillings are made from red beans. Shinagawa and Ikebukuro stations looked far less crowded than usual! But kitkut and cup ramen shops were open as usual, btw!😄✨🥂🐪🌞

    1
  37844. I really like your attitude. I also believe that anyone can learn a language if they're motivated enough but to say that nothing you do in these videos is special sounds kinda crazy. Everyone would do if it were that easy. You need to be outgoing, smart and actually have the ability to speak well. There are some ppl like me who have their voice messed up a bit for different reasons and that makes things super difficult if you want to know a language where tones matter a lot like chinese. I'm learning japanese so it's less of a big deal but it will still matter if I'm ever closer to being fluent.

  37869. I'm beginning a Chinese language class at my University. The professor says he does not want us to use apps, tv shows or youtube videos. He says that even a majority of Chinese speakers do not speak the language correctly. Would you say this is accurate - that it is better not to let these sources influence Chinese language learning? He says his method will have us speaking the language better than 90% of chinese speakers lol...

  37876. Before the pandemic hit, I was at a restaurant where I regularly go to. As I was leaving, I was passing one of the waiters and said "hey how's it going?" and he responded to me in Mandarin (which threw me off guard) so I felt comfortable enough to have a brief conversation with him before I left. In a way I felt legitimized, because the only person I spoke the language with was my elderly neighbor who I would see on my way to work. It was truly a feel good moment. BTW if you're ever in Philly go to Bai Wei and Dim Sum Garden in Chinatown (their food is great), you won't regret it.

  37910. Well when I spoke German here in the USA no reaction really. When I spoke in the smaller towns in Germany huge reaction. I assume same thing for say Chinese? Big city like New York Chinatown or Beijing not much but small rural towns big reaction? I lived in a small rural area in the mountains in Germany for years (Baumholder) and the locals would talk about us behind our backs all the time lol The young people were like we love them! The old folk were like we HATE THEM! lol BTW I subscribed to you when you had just 4K subs now you have 740K been watching your videos for those 3 years lol

  37915. How did you learn chinese?
    1
  37916. Waow, nice video Anming. I like it. Detroit, Michigan reminds me of RoboCop, one of the best movies I used to watch when I was young. Your house is big indeed. The road in US is wide and big. Hmm, I was surprised like Tommy too 😧, the driver was on the left side. In my country it's on the right. Nice ice hockey match (Red Wings). And those foods in restaurants are big portions 🙂. Asian and Western cultures are different. Shock culture I guess 😂 maybe I should marry an American or European lady 😊☺️😉. Can't wait to see part 2. Keep up the good work. Take care Anming, all the best to you, Tommy and all your family. 😄🙏🙏🙏
    1
  37917. Sunshine you amaze me every time I watch .the cultural differences seem rather strange to me as a outsider but very interesting I would love to travel there some day but I would need a guide.all your hard work definitely shows through.🇺🇸🌷🙏😀

  37918. I know you worked really hard to get where you are. Congrats

  37919. I got chinese bloodline but I cant speak Mandarin so well. BTW Im from Philippines. Im Fil-Chinese. Do you have any tips on how to speak Mandarin easily? 😊
    1
  37920. I’m a Chinese female in Tokyo. Generally, I speak Japanese at work, but I have no chance to speak English in real life. So, I don’t have western or Japanese friends yet. Does anyone have any ideas to make friends in Japan?
    1
  37921. Your way of approaching others is very American (of course when you're American😉) , but do Japanese people also talk to random people and start conversations, or are they more of a reserved kind of people? We were in Japan last year, but we had very limited language skills, and therefore not many would try and talk to us. They would smile and be very polite, though. 😄 In the US, it's not uncommon to just start talking to people in the store, usually by someone giving a compliment first, and then the whole conversation starts, and neither is uncomfortable. I live in Sweden, and to just start talking to someone without a reason is very strange, so people would be reserved and uncomfortable for a while.. 😄 So how do the Japanese approach others?
    1
  37922. Many japanese is shy.But they wish to be friends to anyone from Other country:）
    1
  37923. haha, they just tell you go that way cause they don't want to lose face and send the problem away. 😄

  37936. I've lived in China for many years, and an observation, your Chinese is really easy to understand relative to that of a Chinese local. I also learned through self-study (also learned Spanish and Latin in college and high school). I had (still have) a hard time with Chinese, but I have children in China that refuse to speak English. Speaking with children made my comprehension improve a lot faster than any self-study. That said, I notice that Chinese spoken by "foreigners," such as yours is easier to understand.
    1
  37937. I only understand you some words in Chinese because I see some series on Netflix and yep i’m really proud of you and your Chinese GODDD THATS TOO HARD i want to learn it.;(

  37947. You from michigan? D-town represent!!!

  37948. I only recently found your channel and enjoying your videos. Seeing places and people I would probably never get to or meet. I speak some broken Canadian frenglish, and am now motivated to sharpen that, so thank you! I am never quite sure when you are speaking which language but the people you are speaking to apparently understand you! Great job, keep it up ❤️

  37949. I was going to make fun of your semi-Canadian accent again but then I saw your really cool outfit @1:15 :)

  37956. I just discovered your videos and i love them :)
    1
  37957. 100% true. I always said this. In order to master a language you have to live in the country where that specific language is spoken, and you have to live there for at least 2 years uninterrupted, and study and practice that language really intensely. How many people do that with 5-6-7 etc languages? Not many. So many people claim to speak multiple languages but they speak most of them at a basic level. That’s easy.
    1
  37958. Really enjoying these frequent postings. Keep them going! I have a great tip for winding up annoying corporations, tax inspectors (and the like) who insist on sending you endless forms to fill in. If they don't stipulate using English, get your Finnish friend to fill it in for you. They definitely won't have a Finnish translator available ... and if they try to guess your answers ... then apparently the Finnish for 'Yes' and 'No' sound like the opposite way round to an English speaker. Mayhem, for which you are entirely blameless, will follow.

  37964. I have social anxiety so being a polyglot helped me a lot, thanks to that I have some "friends" around the world(only West Europe so far), but my family seems angry about that, idk why. I'm proud of being a polyglot at 18y/o, it makes me wanna learn more languages and talk to more people. (Btw I speak Spanish, English, Italian, French and Portuguese)

  37968. I've spent great time finding the motivation to learn Japanese and in taught myself most of your techniques but only on a smaller level because I was just going from what I created and had not heard another person say all the things back to me . I feel stronger today than ever in my endeavor to make it to the top .

  37969. 学习说中文不会那么困难。 超过14亿人说中文！
    1
  37970. Really interesting. Glad to see that there are people posting non-english skills, like Hindi/Japanese. I'm guessing the number of 'white, english speaking person amazes chinese/japanese/korean etc natives' is that its more of a novelty, a personal choice, whereas more high-level non-native english speakers who learn english are motivated by economic reasons, ie.better job or emigrating, or studying overseas. For them its just something you need to do, not a 'hey look at me I'm a polyglot'. Full transparency disclosure: native english speaker, basic French, basic German, (both from school) odd words and phrases of Chinese and Japanese.
    1
  37971. What a loving family they show it in their own way but you can feel and see the love without them even saying it. Tommy's parents seem very fond of you especially when you let them know what he's been up to. 😅💜
    1
  37972. Green is my favorite x3 In my opinion, asking favorite colors is important in understanding someone's personality to a degree. 😁👌 Its a simple enough phrase to learn. "I don't ask for people's favorite colors. That is offensive in Finland" 😂 your humor is golden

  37986. I had a Vietnamese wife and later a Chinese girlfriend. Those tonal languages are tough. At least in Vietnam, they adopted a roman alphabet. It's like you said, getting the tones right makes all the difference. I would practice Vietnamese and would still have a hard time being understood. I think you tackled two of the harder languages out there.

  37994. Learning another language is builds bridges to understanding others in other cultures and countries. Watching these videos are really enjoyable because they help give me a peek into Japan, which has always fascinated me. If I ever get to visit again, I'll be even more prepared to respect daily customs. Those who criticize these videos are ... WRONG and should be pitied for their shallowness and obvious lack of life purpose. Keep Going Oriental Pearl! =)

  37995. Hello again - thank you for the video. I get to see a country (countries) that i will never visit. Very interesting to see how you interact with everyone. Take care be safe. Spin

  37996. Hello i like your vidéos lessons
    1
  37997. Hey there, you inspire me with all the things you say! Every time I want to give up Japanese, I get motivated as soon as I listen to you speaking Japanese. I really wish I can outpour the words and sentences like how you're doing it! You are making it easy for me to listen to every syllable, as you speak it slower than the general Japanese, which is great for someone like myself! Unfortunately, I have 3 businesses to operate and cannot study abroad. What would be a good way for me to pick up my Japanese? I find that the transition words, verb conjugations, and everyday speech are the toughest to learn correctly, as I have no guidelines to teach me. Google Translate is really bad at Japanese translation. Anyway, keep doing videos, and yes, you have my subscription starting today! Love your content!

  38011. You're so awesome!!!! I subscribed to your channel halfway through this first video that I came across of you!!! I'm a native Centralia American living in the USA. I catch all kinds of Hispanics talking about me. When I caught 2 of them saying negative things about me that were so completely unnecessary I shocked them by talking to them in Spanish. It totally scared them and hopefully taught them a valuable lesson. Don't assume nobody else speaks Spanish especially since I'm a black Hispanic. It's actually quite amusing when I catch them. Lol

  38012. You can't satisfy anybody who is: envious, insecure, narrow minded, ignoramuses, etc. AND anybody who mentions another ones race in a rant are racist themselves. They just want equal sharing of their miserable lives. Sorry, but I'm really pissed at these kinds of people.

  38069. 我和你很相似，我学了四年中文然后考上了HSK5，后面和中国学生一起读研一个管理专业。其实我后悔没有尝试考HSK6，因为已经过几年了，感觉我文学方面的能力退步了，虽然我在中国工作，但是每天使用的内容和考试完全不一样。我也很同感你当别人说我们是语言天赋，因为对我们来说是忽视我们过去几年的努力。其实，我目前唯一一个问题，是声调没学好，你有什么好练习声调方式可以推荐呢？

  38080. so, based on your other videos, japanese people don't say "no" directly or they don't comment negatively in rude ways, how can you tell if someone is being sincere or geniunely happy when you bought her that gift? I like the fact, as you mentioned, that japan has good food safety protocols, but not being able to be direct with people is an aspect of the culture I dont believe I could get a customed. Does that mentality change behind closed doors, and being non offensive is etiquette you only show publicly? That is where I like that chinese people are direct.

  38108. Oriental Pearl, came here because of pranks, stayed because of your passion.
    1
  38109. you can't demand viewers. more people eat junk food over fine cuisine too.
    1
  38110. It's because of Youtube algorithms. Only the ones with popular keywords will be suggested to new viewers. But I am sure most of your existing subscribers watch these videos, too. I do.
    1
  38111. Oriental Pearl it’s only been 1 day chill
    1
  38112. YouTube views are down in general right now for anyone not talking about Corona. We got hit really hard.
    1
  38113. Yes, it's the algorithm. Just make what you want to make. It's unfortunate but if you want view it seems you have to make the thumbnails as obnoxiously obvious, and the titles as ridiculous as possible.
    1
  38114. Screw the algorithms. You are great An Ming. You certainly is the linda lee caldwell of youtube.😄😆Keep up the great work. I am one of the niche that enjoy your content. Dont give up. I found your channel recommendation via watching xiaomanyc. I still hope you do collabs with xiaomanyc when you return 2 america 1 day.😇😇😇😇

  38115. I personally like the culture and language exposure, and that's been a lifetime interest for me. I studied anthropology & languages and grew up in bilingual immigrant home in the US. My ex-wife has an MA in Chinese and my son married a girl from China. That's why I'm here.
    1
  38116. Just like another poster said, it's probably youtube algorithm and I personally think sometimes creating the 'white person speaks (foreign language) fluently...' could be retitled a bit better...and you know who I am talking about although I am also guilty of watching the videos...not because of the title, but I just personally look for the videos myself. Keep it up!
    1
  38117. Think it’s an algorithm thing. This video hasn’t shown up on my feed. I’ve had to specifically search you out. Click your videos and find the latest one. Keep the faith you’re doing great!
    1
  38118. Dynamo7 I agree with you. It is definitely a matter of her keeping her touch / authenticity AND meeting viewers' needs. At the end of the day, no matter what, good or bad, it is always a supply and demand issue. To meet viewers' demands while keeping your integrity is completely feasible. As others have pointed out, it is also a waiting game.
    1
  38119. that's such a pretty dress you're wearing! anyway, just make both videos: the "fluent chinese blah blah" and also the heart-felt videos. views on the heart-felt will slowly rise.
    1
  38120. I have friends who work at YouTube and can tell you that even during quarantine they are constantly readjusting the algorithm. At first it was to try to maximize likes, and then they took a dark and unfortunate turn when they tried to maximize view time to optimize revenue. I'm sure you read how that helped conspiracy theorists, political propagandists, hate groups, and anti-science commercial interests. Well, since about October of last year they've been trying to undo that, and that's still their primary focus. The moral is: DON'T LET WEEK-TO-WEEK CHANGES IN VIEWER NUMBERS PHASE YOU. Just keep going and wait at least a month before you even look at a video's performance past the first couple of days to make sure it wasn't erroneously robo-demonitized. Just keep going, because the constant re-jiggering is as likely to help as to hurt, but you won't notice it as much when it helps because +99% views looks a lot less unusual than -99%, right? We believe in you!
    1
  38121. This video of yours is the most poignant I've watched this far, yet probably the best one you've made as can feel the depth of your emotions.

  38122. Nice video. Glad it landed in my feed

  38147. Your vids are the best anming , they give me a window to see what's awesome about Japanese and Chinese reactions. But I don't know my American sister, I only say this with good intentions, but don't white people get better treatment from Asian countries. I get scared trying to learn Asian languages, because as a Mexican American in Nevada, I feel quite intimidated, like why should a Spanish speaker learn this. I don't know... I always feel as if colored people aren't well represented in these Asian countries or communities. What do you or you guys think......opinions?

  38148. I really enjoy those videos and they make me eager to learn mandarin 😊 谢谢

  38154. I am hoping to brush up on my Japanese...especially during the 14 day isolation (just got back from Osaka last week)...hoping at least by next year I can be somewhat fluent in my conversational Japanese...I can read (VERY slowly) some hiragana...and I think I can pick up Japanese pretty easy since I learned it back in High school...can you recommend some good websites where I can learn words/phrases with both romaji and hiragana? I like this video since I can pick up basic phrases for everyday conversation...maybe I will combine watching your videos and learning more words!

  38180. Hi. I just wanted to chime in as a new-ish viewer and toss my opinion into the mix. I watch your videos because I find the content to be entertaining (a sense of adventure), engaging (knowledge and wisdom that can be shared and applied), and appealing to some of my most core values (community, friendship). As the host, I find you to be authentic, humorous, and trustworthy. Anyway, that's the opinion of one absolute stranger on the internet, but I'm glad the algorithm pointed me in the direction of your channel.

  38195. I'm not the world's biggest fan of these YouTube videos where foreigners impress the natives with their language proficiency but so what? A lot of these videos ARE entertaining and a lot of people clearly enjoy these videos. That's great. It makes no sense for some people to get all butt-hurt over these videos. If you don't like this genre of videos, the solution is simple. Don't watch them.
    1
  38196. I'm a very picky eater too - there aren't many vegetables that I like raw and even less that I like cooked. But I've made it a habit to finish my food when I'm eating in public because before I always felt bad for not doing that. As a result I've actually become less picky. Of the things I've hated before I still don't like any of them, but at least I can now tolerate many. And I'm much more happy after actually finishing a meal, even if I didn't like parts of it, than leaving without finishing.

  38197. Oh cool! We have a Moxy hotel in NYC now and every time I pass it, I really want to peek inside even though I’m not a guest. Thanks for the tour of the company and insight into your career :)

Would love to learn another language and travel more out of the States and Caribbean! There appears to be a sweetness to the cultures you are interacting with that may be missing a bit from here. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more!

  38201. Lots of wisdom here, thanks

  38202. The video was amazing to tell you honestly but there are parts where you could have made it engaging like throwing out some facts about Starwars and all. But in all honesty, this feels like a quick vlog which isn't a bad thing since this is more of your style

  38208. I can only speak for myself. You, Anming, inspire me to study harder. Though my language aims are much more modest--the German that my Grandparents spoke. Someday a Romance language...Spanish or Italian perhaps.

  38214. I aspire to have that man's confidence. I'm 15-16 stone ( at 5ft 8) and refuse to eat anything considered a treat when out with friends, normally opting for a black coffee whenever I can. My friends hate me for it, as they take me to dessert bars with them and I'm sat there with either a water or a coffee but hey I gotta lose the weight somehow. It's a great video btw and a real motivator, I've been learning japanese for a year with the intention of studying abroad for a term and your videos are very informative!

  38240. I'm not into languages or travel, I don't watch anything like this at ALL so I have no idea why I was recommended your videos a little back, but I have to say I'm VERY glad to be one of your subs now. Your videos are so interesting and I love getting a glimpse into this beautiful culture and your life over there. And you have a wonderful spark about you that is quite rare, I think that's the main thing that keeps drawing me back to watch your videos. Keep up the great work and thank you!

  38253. Compared to other Vloggers in Japan that I've watched, and I've been watching many over the years, You seem to have a knack for it. I assumed that you were a vlogger that somehow missed my radar. You seem like you've been doing it for 5 years at least. I can tell that you're the kind of person that can adapt to most things very quickly. You're doing great. What ever you can do better will come naturally. Ganbarre! Ganbatte!

  38262. You're making me jealous with all your food purchases. I enjoyed Japanese sweets, from the known stuff like the Matcha rice balls through to the local stuff like Deep Fried Maple Leaf which we had in Minoo, just north of Osaka. I bought a big bag of Kit Kats (one pack of every flavour they had) at the Don Quijote in Narita Aeon Mall before coming back from Japan last year, but now I've run out. :-(

  38264. Or I'd put it in "speaking a foreign language to Japanese is showing a magic to you." That's why they admire foreign people's Japanese skills no matter how they have mastered it.

  38270. What you guys are discussing is what I figured out the hard way. I started years ago by following some of these fake polyglots. I was naive and new to language learning but as soon as I reached a high "actually fluent" level, I realized that many of these fake channels were playing us. If you're someone serious about learning languages, eventually you will figure this out too. The gig is up. They may be making big bucks now but nothing lasts forever. The truth always comes out in the end. Focus on one language at a time, put all your energy into it, practice daily, and be patient. The fluency will come.

  38277. I mean having 2 or 3 languages at C1 or higher level and 20+ of them between A1 and B2 still makes you a polyglot. Some want to fully master all the languages they learn others just want to learn to discover the cultures, history, visit those countries, meet new people and have regular conversations with them (that's more my type). You can be able to have regular conversation and even debate on diverse and advanced subjects orally but wont be able to write a full proper essay. It's not always just about mastering the languages. Now you can't lie about it like some are doing of course, learning and knowing a little bit of the language and being "fluent" in it in less than 7 days is not the same and often not possible. Any natives speaker in the languages some of those youtubers claims to speak like a native can see they are lying. Now they can have the good technique for learning (learning like babies for example) but they will still need more than 7 days to be able to fit their claims of being fluent

  38301. yeah pimsleur works, I do that with a combination of talking with a Japanese teacher on italki. I don't think I can hold a conversation in Japanese yet but I know way more Japanese than I did back in October (which was none at all). Duolingo definitely is not an app people should use if they want to learn Japanese, maybe Spanish but definitely not Japanese. they start you off with hiragana characters with 0 explanation as to what they are and just give you what each character sounds like.

  38312. This was fun! I wanted to ask though, what's the secret to learning kanji? I mean, I think I've got hiragana and katakana down properly, and I was so very excited that I can finally understand and speak Japanese somewhat...that was until all of my self-confidence was shattered the instant I gazed at a street sign outside... I'm trying to learn Japanese to like, make my English classes more interactive with students.(I'm an ALT). Learning hiragana and katakana and using that to learn vocabulary was still manageable, but I'm just stuck at the kanji part for like 2-3 months now. I keep learning how to draw and pronounce new characters daily, but then I always seem to forget the ones I learned a month ago and this vicious cycle goes on and on.

  38326. You may know if this is correct or not, but I have read that instead of denying you can pass the compliment on - like saying "The thanks goes to my teacher" assuming if the person had one. It was from this article about Chinese culture discussing other ways of handling compliments that I was trying to translate to practice so my translation may have been poor. I wish I still had it or I'd share it but if that is acceptable, I think that would be a cool alternative.

  38330. Living in a very diverse city like Houston means you interact with people from many cultures. I agree that some people simply don't make the effort to learn a new language. My ex in-laws had very limited English skills. It's okay to make mistakes and have problems. I know I do. Still I was shocked when I heard a Chinese person speaking with a very proper British accent. Once I thought about it, it made sense, but you just don't hear it much.

  38346. I think it’s important to remember that in every major city there are both areas of blight and gentrification. As time goes on areas either decline or money/population/opportunity moves into a neighborhood can experience revitalization. Unfortunately the way it is portrayed you would think the entirety of the city is bad but it’s more nuanced. I think an interesting experience to maybe show Tommy might be to take him to Flint and show him both the closed motor plants, upon which the city was reliant on for nearly the entire economy - as well as the current water crisis. Even showing him Roger & Me would be pretty educational

  38347. I was talking to someone about travelling and I mentioned that I visited my coworker who was an expat living in China. They were like, what's an expat? You know, an ex-patriot. And they were so offended. Wait they moved to China because they don't like the US? They're not patriotic? I'm like no you dummy, expat means a person who lives temporarily in another country for work. My company sent him there to support our customer. 🙄 Anyway comrade JJ/Anming I cracked your secret code "Smash that like button" means you will be paid by the regime. I know your tricks. You're the same person, because you just change clothes and film in a different room. 😜

  38350. This is a good way to show that Japan is not a perfect country. I know Japan is good but every country has its own dark story. By showing this at least we know that not everything is nice especially when we talk about Japan, everyone just talk about a good thing only.

  38357. I find you videos so interesting because I was raised in America but had a Danish mother and moved to Denmark as a young person and learned Danish from tv ,tapes etc then went on to live in Sweden and learned that language as well.

  38366. One thing I discovered for myself is that as my Chinese gets better, people pay less attention. It's almost as though they just want to make you feel good about yourself while you are starting ... haha. Whatever the case, your chinese is great and gives people a real reflection of how chinese people react.

It sounds as if the guided tour was a blatant scam rip off, set up just to fleece everyone and screw them over, shameful. It would be magical to go see that place in the middle of the night all lite up.

  38388. I could be wrong but I think the reaction is different not because of the person your around with but more because if the language for example Chinese to a Japanese person would be like French or German etc to me in the uk it’s very likely to happen but it still surprises you every time

While I was an English teacher for a catholic jr/sr high school, we sometimes would bring students to help feed the homeless. It was great helping them and talking with them. So sad about that park.

  38392. For me, I don't care if they talk about me because time to short when you are travelling and want to discover so many place.. I try to be open. I got conversation in Japanese old Couple who didn't really speak english and I dom't speak japanese.. But understand they ask where I from, said Quebec and they said they met another person from Quebec the day before.. They were so nice and happy..

  38400. I really love what you said about watching tv and listening to music in your target language. When I first was introduced to Chinese (mandarin) I was watching a drama called MARS, and that's where my interest grew and because it was fun watching tv/dramas/ reality tv etc. I didn't realize I was learning anything until one day I heard someone talking in mandarin and I realized I knew some of what they were saying. It's also great like you said to hear native speakers (especially for me I struggle with the second tone) It's also really fun for me to read bits and pieces (like poems or children's books) because I can pick out a select number of vocab for the day and I remember it more because I can relate it to the story I enjoyed.

  38409. I’m from Japan. When I travelled to China, I never spoke Chinese because I can’t at all but communicated with the local by writing Chinese of about 1500 years ago on my memo-pad. They got really surprised with their eyes widely open, that whatever I wrote down were super ancient and it was super strange that a foreigner who could not speak and listen to any Modern Chinese at all was so good at writing the ancient Chinese. My ancient Chinese is very good because I learned the grammar and vocabulary for reading and writing their ancient literatures.

Also, what is the name of the game they were playing on the street with the spinning stones? That looked very interesting...love the video as always hun! You are such a charming doll!
    1
  38417. Very interesting. I’m usually not that interested in the ‘shocked’ effect in the videos but I’m more interested in the interaction you guys have with the native speakers and the places you visit. For me it’s more the experiences you have that makes me watch your videos. Don’t get me wrong; it is impressive that you’re speaking fluently but after watching 10+ vids, I’ve gotten used to it. For instance, I very much liked the videos when you were just walking around and talked along the way because you’re that interesting to listen and watch, but that’s my opinion. Wouter seems like an interesting guy as well. Fellow Dutch dude! 😄 I’ll make sure I’ll follow him and how he is progressing.

  38420. Wat u said at the end,i also felt that way. Especially the foreigners stayin in Japan,they luk so arrogant that they cud speak Japanese. Like they show off so much their body language is like oh luk how cool i am to speak Japanese so fluently. They also try to luk super funny which they r not at all. Its super annoying to even watch. Mostly Americans do that. I also watched such video of a british guy who lives in japan and does this same shit. I hate him.

  38433. Oriental Pearl that’s fair, I think being transparent is important. Also don’t let the haters bother you, as your channel gets more popular, so will the number of people who will want to provoke you. Just keep making content which you enjoy 加油

  38434. It's clear to me, at least, that you love the Chinese and Japanese cultures and people.  I appreciate insights into other cultures.  Your videos have nothing to do with governments and their actions but are rather a gentle look at people.  Generally, Asians aren't used to non-Asians able to converse in their native languages.  Hence the shock and surprise. You are doing a wonderful job. I'd love to visit Japan and China.  As an artist, I'm very fond of their art and culture, especially the refinement and restraint of Japanese aesthetics, which I'm aware originated in China.

  38443. Hi Anming, sorry for asking this if someone already asked you or you already said it in a video, but can you tell me if you used any books to study japanese and if you did which ones? I love your videos, you always motivates me to never stop working on my japanese :D

  38444. Ha! That's right! Put a smile on your face, say 'Oh yeah'. It will taste a lot better. Even I retched when you tried the Natto.

  38446. A mascot against coronavirus and a Doraemon motorcycle... only in Japan! I liked that! Also, I've noticed you agree with people when they praise your Chinese, but you always downplay it when they refer to your Japanese. Is that a cultural thing, or simply that you don't consider your Japanese to be as good as your Chinese? Nice video! 😊👋

  38448. THANK YOU, for saying the jump cuts counter point... I mean, if one were to judge by my cuts, then I'm not fluent in English either. Sometimes my cuts are literally SCRIPTED IN because it's more entertaining to use all the power that video affords than to just speak. And yes, same for live reactions situations. I haven't really done those but I can imagine that yes, you'd require 40 conversations just to make one video.

  38454. Good thing with communication is, that many ppl speak english as an alternative language. For many ppl like me are asian languages too hard to even try to learn, but english goes! Funny thing at the beginning of the video, how the women changed to japanes after theyre leaked out but didnt calculate that the amercan Lady has japanese in her repertoire also :D

  38457. Your opening lines to start a conversation with someone is so appealing, always so polite and full of compliments, anyone will be so glad to talk to you. And the speed at which the shops change hand in 原宿 is amazing , it comes and go so fast, one moment you can visit a particular shop and your next visit, it’s gone. And looking at your clips, Harajuku is hardly recognisable to me, and can’t wait to visit Japan again!

  38462. As I was watching the first bit, I thought to myself it's neither common nor uncommon for a Caucasian person to speak Mandarin and Japanese in 2023. I said to myself I'd only be impressed if you could read and write Chinese (which I can't do). Then you started reading and writing?!?!? Subscribed.

  38463. Owh ... its quite sometimes now. I love to watch you videos.. and the interesting subject. When you said you re learning Korean, and the moment you pronounce the Thank you phrase, I think you are talented/prodigy. Cause not everyone can learn that fast. Btw, what happened to your eyes. Looks a bit different.
    1
  38464. Lol at the guy saying "colonial" when refering to you talking the local language ..... "Colonial" would be speaking your langugage and expecting the locals to speak it. When did this go upside down ... Also I live in Morocco, and your videos let me see life in another country at the street level. And I love it, it's a window into another part of the world. PS: I'm sure it's not shocking that I speak english, that's why there are no such videos.

  38476. I feel like learning more than one language at a time is unrealistic for most people, I also feel like it would take waaaay longer to master either of the languages than if you focused on 1. I saw a video of a girl saying something like “how I study 4 languages” and I was like hmmm..

  38481. Change the view. How do you think are the foreigners treated in countries like germany with mainly "white" population. Even people in the second generation (having a german passport) are treated like foreigners. Some ask them out of naive curiosity where their origins are from others due to their obsession with ethnical order. The same uneducated and mindless questions appear in America and Europe, too! It is just that we (the white people) ask so questions and do those comments. And we don't seem to understand, until we are put into the same difficult emotional spot. As long as we have so many Nationalists in every country. Who imprint the bullshit of outsiders and as long as we are not able to be aware of our psychology to stereotype (ancestral behaviorism and back then helpful for fight, flight or freeze) we feel estranged to another. Which can be a spiral downwards. If we get aware of that Neanderthal feeling, today we have the chance to hop over it and give the other person a second chance. That what makes us humans. We are not here yet. It will take more than your or my lifetime to reach the goal . But someone has to start it. And someone else will go on. I see myself as an ambassador to change that. I don't ask humans where they are from. I take a look how they behave towards other humans. And I look at their character. If I have a chance I ask them how they got their opinion/knowledge. Sometimes I ask them questions and it is the first time they really start thinking about the topic. And from time to time I see a little spark in their eyes. Then I know I passed it on. If it helps to make other Humans lifes less miserable I am happy.

  38490. The "Local reacts to FLUENT bla bla bla" videos have a limited appeal. After you've seen one or two, there's no need to watch more because the reactions are similar in nature and lack variety. Beyond the superficial and predicable surprise what follows is just a casual conversation between people who don't know each other, I just can't see the appeal there. I'm sure the youtube analytics have shown a decrease in traffic for these types of videos as well from when it was a popular trend. If someone has the ability to speak with the locals then that means they've also got access to the local culture at a greater level than tourists, showing that side of a country and its people is much more interesting and has a whole depth of variety that won't become stagnant.

Everyday I learn a little bit more I work with chinese people here in México and I watch your videos for encouragement to keep on learning and to see if I catch a little bit of what I'm learning and every time that happens I get very freaked out becuase I know that I'm putting the effort. I have to thank you because it's being fun to watch you and learn another language.

  38513. I've been sub'd to this channel for a little over 2yrs now. doesn't bother me what ratio of people you encounter are shocked or surprised, in fact I'd never really given it much thought. i would say if someone thought that every person you met had the same surprised reaction then they must be a little naive. i've watched a handful of other similar style videos from others on youtube but they just didn't feel authentic somehow. i'm not sure exactly. maybe they seemed a little cocky. so, your videos were the only one's i enjoyed. anyway. personally, i love seeing those who do react. also, i think the appeal of your videos is YOU and your bubbly positive persona. keep doing what you're doing. best wishes to you + Tommy.

  38514. Do you think, if you get generations don’t move to that area, in 10-20 years it’ll be akiya houses? I hope Japan does more to bring either tourists or natives to live and love those areas. If I could, I’d 100% live there. First, I have to save up to even try haha. But I also love Kyoto, so now I’m torn

  38515. Keep in mind at the start of every year youtube starts purging dead accounts to eliminate bloat on the platform, so your large chunk of unsubs could also be a wave of dead channels being purged. Every channel experiences this in the first quarter of every year.

  38516. I did not expect a video in Myanmar at all. There's quite a large population of people with Chinese ancestry here. If you ever come back, you should make a video surprising the local Chinese Burmese!

  38517. Good job showing the underbelly of Japan. Many internationally try to hide it but you are brave enough to show it. Wake up people nowhere is perfect every country have its problems.

  38518. There are people who blow you off in every country. It's not cultural. It's simply bad manners, low character and usually someone poorly raised. Those who respect and integrity, in every situation, give an honest reason, have a mature discussion and try not to give you no notice whenever possible. You learn to see who is like that and avoid, keeping standards and self-respect high.

  38538. In Japanese, “Huh” means something like “ you what? what the phuck are you talking about? shut the phuck up, I'll kill Ya” so don't say that unless you're angry and start a fight. If you often use it to your Japanese friends, you'll lose them.
    1
  38539. Girlll, you made me tear up when I saw #5. At the first video I was cracking up laughing, but with the visa stuff I felt like I was putting myself in your shoes since I do want to study abroad. Right now my whole application is up in the air because of everything. I'm glad you're safe and get to stay until thing, cool down, hopefully. Nonetheless, I don't mind "real life" being on YouTube. I don't like seeing too much curated content anymore, unless it's valuable in some sense, like it teaches me something. On the note of your last comment in the video, I actually had a really bad experience on my last trip. I was returning to my parent's home country, Poland. I've been to Poland and back a million times. But like I went with my dad this time, and it just was a nightmare. He really threw me (not literally) under the bus to make himself look good. I was able to meet his side of the family though and I ended up realizing I'm so much more like them than my mom's side. And I bonded with my uncle a lot, he's the complete opposite of my dad. And when I went to my mom's side of the family, I just had problems with catty cousins who thought I was "rich" just for being American. I had a cousin who kind of like harassed me, he just .... Idk I don't wanna get into it but I'm scarred thanks to him. A few good things happened though, the cousins I always found myself drawn to, we connected more and speak frequently now. I had some good nights with one of them. It wasn't all bad, but I honestly felt disassociated from my body for a very long time after coming home because of every little bad thing that happened. I didn't even know I was on a plane ride home. I didn't know where I was at for weeks. I felt like a walking zombie for awhile, and I'm still healing, but I don't think I'd be going back to Poland for a very long time. And if I do, it's not to family. If life allows it, I want to visit many other countries Scotland, Singapore, New Zealand, to name a few.

  38579. I just discovered your channel before Christmas 2021 and really enjoy your perspective on their culture. I wish I had gone to visit for longer than two days spent at Okinawa when I was a child, father served in the US Navy and we were flying to the Philippines. When I lived in San Francisco in the late 80s I had Japanese roommates and my conversational was very rudimentary but getting better. Alas, we all moved on and I’ve only kept in touch with one roomie that lives in Hokkaido. I’ve totally lost my ability to speak since I’m not surrounded by Japanese people living in rural Northern California. You’re doing great work and trolls are just insecure about their existence. I look forward to your next adventures.

  38580. I like your video because you seem very friendly and very open. Easily blend into asian culture that can be difficult to adapt. I'm American born Chinese and speak Cantonese. Amazing how you can spend so much time in to learning, but the rewards are great. I'm trying to learn mandarin now thru YouTube. Since I have some Cantonese background, but still find it so difficult. That is why I applaud you. Keep up the good work.

  38601. Each time I watch your videos, I want to do stuff like this more and make friends if I were to ever go on a trip or live abroad. But I'm totally introverted and I couldn't imagine going up to random strangers, as fun as it looks. Do you have any tips on how to get rid of the shyness of starting a conversation?

It signifies many things like your marriage will last and the cleansing of tough times or sadness and renewal by washing away bad memories or occurrences in your past so that it doesn’t affect your future together. There are actually many good luck 🍀 for rain on your wedding day. Congratulations to you both!!!

  38628. I don't want to be rude or intrude in your private business but how are you financially able to stay in Tokyo for such a long time as a student without income? I did see your video on being an online private language teacher is that something you are still doing?

  38629. One specific (shall remain nameless) you tuber inspired me to learn manderin with his reaction videos , he was really kinda my idol , but the more manderin I learned the more I saw he was just using a script and was directing the conversations to his next well rehearsed phrase.

  38655. I have a friend at church who is a true polyglot. He speaks 7 languages. To the point he dreams and thinks in other languages. It is seamless. But he was a foreign missionary for our church and is a linguist for the US military. He also grew up in a family where they studied many languages and his siblings served missions in other countries and spoke other languages too. But he would never show off and many people have no idea he speaks other languages. I think being humble is a mark of someone who learns for the right reasons 👍❤

  38664. I was very interested in foreign languages and philosophy as well and considered translation type careers but it didn’t seem like it would pay a lot so I went in a different direction. But this video sparked my interest again. And now I have a little crush too. Speaking another language is very sexy.

  38666. Its been interesting to hear your views on this and equally Matts. As a 36 year old just starting out to learn Korean I find it hard to find really reliable sources of help and advice with speaking the language. What I have made the decision to do however is learn to read and write Hangul first before I learn to speak it because I heard that its sensible to do one or the other. With what you have said about people just learning to speak and not learning to read and write almost being like your only getting half the understanding and experience, thats reinforced my decision to do that too. I dont know if I'm too old to master a language especially a far Eastern language but I have always wanted to try. I'm also at university studying in education so I felt it was a great hobby and good brain training alongside my career studies.

  38672. Hard to believe you were shy before because you seem very social & outgoing! Used to love going to Harajuku when I was a teen growing up in Japan. It was a fashion hub back then in the 70's. Good to know it hasn't changed! I live in Arizona now & sure miss the sights & sounds of the Tokyo metro area. Being able to speak the language of the locals definitely is a big plus & you'll go far! Keep up the good work!

  38673. Great tips. As for me, I'm using Remembering the Kanji combined with Anki, adding 10 new characters into my Anki deck after any lesson where it says I have <= 50 words due the next day. So I probably add 10 new characters most days, but never allowing myself to get overwhelmed. I'm also working full time, often long hours, so this is important. I also need additional time to make up stores for the new characters, but often I find kanji.koohii.com is helpful with this. I make sure to take two lessons of Duolingo daily, and am currently on a 561 day streak (which is how long I've been learning Japanese for). I also have a JapanesePod101 subscription, although am more focused on kanji for now. I'm starting to get to a point where I can understand quite a lot of text on Japanese products at a local Asian groceries store and other basic things, so I'm starting to get a sense of accomplishment which helps to stay motivated. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who is Japanese and have never been there, but it'll be great to import and play video games that are slow to be translated, or, in some cases never even released (戦場のヴァルキュリア3 I'm looking at you!).

  38683. Glad to see you bring out the 'classic' video's again! I think I remember you putting out a survey, which had something to do about the direction of content in the future? It seems like the last video of you speaking languages like this did really well, but the other videos in between (like visiting the slums in Japan) did okay too! I think it'll be manageable to bring forward a lot of new content now, combined with this 'genre' of videos.

  38705. I really love your channel, I don't normally watch YouTube channels as often as I do yours, but, sometimes I watch yours for hours, very entertaining. I recently started learning, Chen style Taijiquan and when my Shifu's teacher, ( Zhu Tiancai ), came for a seminar, he barely spoke English, which inspired me to seek out ways to teach myself some, at least, basic Mandarin, which led me to your channel. By the way, your Chinese is very good...lol

  38713. I went to the Mongolian bbq place up the street and asked the chinese lady behind the counter 你是中国人吗？ and she was like...huh? So I said 她会说中文吗？ and then she looked super shocked and then smiled all big and called her coworker over and then she asked me some questions about my studies (they asked me in English but my responses were in chinese) and in the end, they gave me like 10 extra cups of sweet and sour sauce hahaha she was so happy to talk to me XD I was VERY NOTICEABLE shaking but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless and I feel all leveled up n shit now 😜😜👍🏻

  38720. This video inspired me so much. I watch all those 'polyglot' youtubers and I feel this pressure to learn a bunch of languages really fast, but really all I want to do is improve the two I'm already learning and get to a high or intermediate level
    1
  38721. Wow ! that was an amazing video Merci

  38722. congratulations~ i guess this is the right audience to ask this question: do you have recommendations on how to learn japanese by yourself? i don't really have the money to spend on courses or books, but i've wanted to learn it for so long now! any tips are appreciated💞

  38730. One of your most important characteristics is your openness to new things. You are very positive and I'm sure your employer treasures that. Do you really want to return to China when you can, or is Japan a more exciting country to live and work in? Keep up the work videos. This one was informative and fun.

  38734. Okay, I’m just at minute 3 but I wanted to comment something before I forget about it! I used to live in Seoul (had to go back because of the pandemic) and when I was walking through the city or went clubbing I often heard girl saying things like: ‘Oh my god! She’s such a hot body girl!’ or ‘Wow! She’s so pale!’ or they would comment on my height and that’s so funny because where I’m from, I’m like so damn average haha

  38740. Love the vid and I DEFINITELY would love a short series about "a workday in the life" for a month. It doesn't have to be 31 episodes but basically what does a month typically look like. Commute, social life, work, fun, bills, etc. I think it is a great way to kinda get a glimpse of what the day to day would be starting a new life in a new country, such as Japan. Tha ks for always sharing! Can't stop watching!!! Aregato Annmimg! 👋🏻😁

  38747. What I respect and admire most about you is that you aren't afraid of being yourself, and whilst always being mindful of your surroundings not shying away from crouching in front of a Japanese vending machine whilst basically drinking your tea on the ground and filming yourself 😂 I probably would've stared at you like that man walking past you did but I probably would've thought "yeah, ok, why not 💁🏼‍♂️ very good, very good 👵🏻(british grandma accent)". I'm really enjoying your content. I want to have similar experiences some day! Although, I would be way too shy to do any filming 🙊

  38758. I know that those misleading videos can inspire many people to learn new languages (as they did with me), but frankly they only do so in the beginning of the language learning process. In my case I've been dedicating as much time as I could in order to acquire new tongues in a fast and easy way. Turns out that's not possible, the word “polyglot” together with the words “fast and easy” are just not compatible, and if you have unrealistic expectations you end up feeling profoundly discouraged and dumb because you couldn't learn a hole new language in just a week. I'm really grateful for you taking the time to make this video clarifying the many misconceptions about the topic ❥❥❥

  38760. Japan is so interesting with their culture and quirky services they offer! I have always been so envious of their packaging, surprised America doesn’t use the same tactic as effectively to get children to beg their parents to purchase their stuff! Lol Also Im so happy we got to see your hairdressing moment.

  38761. I went to Japan last February for the whole month and myth #8 brings back some memories. I stayed in northern Takatsuki for 2 and 1/2 weeks and the rest in Tokyo/Hiroshima. I piled up my laundry and my sister’s laundry on a bike and went biking around Takatsuki for a while, asking some people where the nearest coin laundry was. I used my smart phone of course, but for some reason it didn’t display all coin laundry areas. The one near where I stayed was closed that day. I ended up biking to Takatsuki-shi because one of the people I asked directions from actually knew where one was. So sometimes it works. I was just lucky though.

  38778. I think in truth most people would look at you if you spoke Chinese in any country, so you can't just say that Japanese people are surprised. Come to the UK and speak Chinese, you will be looked at too.

  38787. You got off easy. Im 6 foot 4 and have really crazy hair. Oh, and I am a black dude. In China, people came out of stores to take pictures of me and with me. Little kids were freaked out because I have insanely huge hands, even for a person my height. Riding the subway in Shanghai, I could tell people were taking pictures of me as I did not hold the bar, but instead held the ceiling of the train. Being able to see over everyone in the entire train was funny as well. Kids were the best as they kept asking if I play basketball and I just lie and tell them yes.

  38788. Congratulations both. My son recently married in Tokyo to a Chinese girl, and like your mum, I am now learning some Chinese, rather than Japanese, so that I can communicate a little with his new in-laws

  38789. I always enjoy your videos! I learn so much! I’m not learning Japanese yet, however I value your advice and appreciate you sharing your insight and experience. I am working on overcoming my shyness so I can practice my Korean language learning (pronunciation) with native speakers. I have to remind myself that making mistakes and being corrected is a GOOD thing that can only help me improve. Thank you so much for you channel!😊👍

  38793. Interesting listening to the long conversation you had with the group towards the end. I was trying to listen to you speak. I must not have an ear for languages. It all sounded the same to me. Really cool that you can speak all those languages, though. Also Interesting hearing your English. Not sure how to describe it, but your English words sound "heavy". Wonder if that is due to you being accustomed to speaking the Asian languages?

  38817. Hi Anming. Everything has a begining and if one has an awareness of this it's easier to recognise the initial stages of friendship, regardless of how or where that friendship starts. Assupmtions will stifle curiosity if we allow that to happen. So, as you have done on this channel on numerous occaisions, go and see what happens instead of doing nothing. Many smiles.

  38837. It depends on what people are used to. When I was in Poland people expected me to speak it perfectly because of my appearance. When I explain I'm actually 3rd generation American they don't believe me. OTOH, when I was in a small town in Brazil people's jaws dropped at my god-awful Spanish-Italian mix with Portuguese words sprinkled in because they'd never seen a person who looked like me speak anything but English or German and expect them to do all the work to understand me. Seeing me struggle to make myself understood was new for them and they were just as polite to me as to their regular customers.

  38841. Depends on what you want. If you want a basic level you can learn it in a few months. If you want fluency you need several years of study . I speak 3 languages fluently. English Greek and French. I have studied English since I was born im Australian. Greek I’ve studied for 10 years and French for 5. But I’ve studied a whole heap of languages : Chinese; Arabic ;Russian; Spanish ; Portuguese; Arrernte; and , Albanian . In all these languages I can say my name , count to 10 ask where the bathroom is and order from a menu. I would never say I’m fluent in these languages, but if I meet someone who speaks one of them I’ll say what I know. I always get a positive reaction. Fluent in 3 languages: has a very basic understanding of another 7

  38895. Absolutely agree with you, Anming. Showing you have learned the language of a culture and seeing how native speakers react is not a "white guy thing". Many people from many countries do this and I think many people (in Western cultures) have simply been primed by certain narratives to view it through this pessimistic post-colonial lens. Can we move forward please!? People smile in most of these videos when they see you can speak their language. If people find a problem with sharing your experiences with making people smile, then I think they are on the wrong track to a better future.

  38898. Watching this video and seeing the differences and similarities in experience between Takeshi's, Aaliyah's and the rickshaw driver's experiences of being half Japanese has made me realise, for the first time in my 61 years, how lucky I am to not have to negotiate these stereotypical 'foreigner' boxes before I open my mouth. I am half English, half Canadian. I look at home in both places; nobody questions me, hassles me in the street, remarks how well I speak English; and all of that can be soooo distressing and depressing. Despite feeing I am a complete fish out of water in Canada, until I talk I can be mistaken for a Canadian just because I LOOK the part. I have it very easy and cannot imagine how much patience and self-belief it takes to live looking different in unaccepting society.😒

  38907. This type of video is very reason your channel is different from most language channels. You stress that it is hard work to get the a second language to a level that can be used in daily life. However, it actually using the language with native speakers which will turn theory into practical useful knowledge. Using that second language forces one to think in the language and to learn to adapt from the formal study language to the way the language is really spoken into normal day to day interactions. Most Japanese course that the polite Japanese will praise a non native speaker for using less than perfect Japanese. That's true but it's also true that is same in most native speaker to second language speaker. You demonstrated this while speaking with the Japanese YouTuber as you praised his English, and he praised your Japanese. The reaction was the same. The reaction from the group to your ability to effectively converse in Japanese was it was nice to have a foreigner make the effort to learn and use their language. Then you just became a person that they didn't know. Not just a foreign person person whom they may have felt was viewing and treating their daily life as an exotic spectacle to entertain a foreigner. Also your clearly stressing that you must overcome the fear of not being perfect in your use of the second language prevent you from using the language and actually interacting with people. Yes, you will make mistakes and mispronunciations, but this how you really learn and improve. I know that when I first tried to use Japanese it was my own fear of looking and feeling foolish that held me back from speaking and using the language. Once I forced myself to use my limited Japanese, I found the issue was mine alone. I still struggle but now I know that my interactions in Japanese improve my experience and inspire me to do better.

  38917. Hey Anming! I really like this video. I agree with you 100%, the only thing that matters is hard work. Hours not days.. (I try to do 4-6 hours of study a day) I've got a question (restrospective for you) I've learned a few languages to C level purely by speaking on italki and using anki for my mistakes but I'm not exactly sure how I should go about this with Chinese. I want to start talking asap and learning phrases and making anki cards in pinyin as I'll be travelling to Taiwan a bit for work and working in a factory. I know at some point I will have to learn characters (planning on learning kanji radicals first)... but in your opinion, what time is the latest I have to start learning characters? Can I get to conversational (B1ish) before then, or do you think I'll start getting confused and want to introduce them before hand. Last question, If i want to " grind" tones and get them perfect for the start. What is in your opinion the best method? Anki cards with recordings? Another app? Love to hear your thoughts!

I once tutored four children learning Chinese and it's really fun... If you have any C- language questions, feel free to ask me (though my English is not as good as ur Chinese) I think the most difficult part of Chinese is handwriting especially today "everything" is computer...

  38942. I'm autistic, and all of these cultural conversational norms are SO comfortable to me compared to american expectations. i can make eye contact fine, but it's pretty uncomfortable to me and i do it sparingly. I'm also not comfortable in situations where I'm being paid compliments, and tend to turn them around onto others on impulse so they don't think i'm being arrogant my jewish family engages in a lot of overtalking too - diaspora jews in the eastern US do similar things with language when talking to each other, where they acknowledge people's words by parroting or adding on to them. I sort of code switch out of it and just let others speak when talking to gentiles because it can be seen as rude, but ive never had an issue with it within jewish communities I hope I don't make a fool out of myself over something big if I ever travel to japan for an extended period of time, but hopefully that'll help stave off the possibility, lol

  38967. A couple of schoolboys stared at me at Kinkaku-Ji in Kyoto. One elderly man wanted a photo of me at the Tou-Ji flea market. The further you are from Tokyo, the more a foreigner stands out. Overall people are friendly, especially if you can say polite phrases like thank you, I would like to order..., or good morning/day/evening.

  38973. Being a polyglot myself, I sometimes feel tempted to bash them, but then I show restraint and try to be polite. I think that I am only entitled to comment when they happen to speak my native language. So far, I have only found very few polyglots who can speak Greek at a decent level. The best one is that guy from Lebanon. Then we have a couple of polyglots from Latin America and, of course, Luca from Italy who has taken learning Greek very seriously. The other (wannabe) polyglots only know a few phrases, pronounced horribly. Some of them seem not to use any audio at all, trying to deduce the pronunciation from the written text. Greek is phonetic to a large extent, nevertheless if you don't listen to natives you are likely to mispronounce lots of sounds. But what really pisses me off is when they stress the wrong syllable. Greek is maybe the only language in the world where stress is marked in every single word, so there is no excuse for wrong stress.

  38994. Personally I do watch some polyglot videos on YouTube like wouter, xiamo and few others and I do get some fun/entertainment out of them and watching ppls reaction to them knowing a bit of their language. However I always prefer Alyssa’s ( anmings) videos where she speaks Chinese and Japanese to a very high level and she’s just out and about speaking to locals and living her daily life. When it comes down to it i always prefer quality over quantity but I don’t agree with the hate for the polyglots. Lot of ppl on YouTube have got famous or made money by doing less. If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Simple as that.

  39004. As a Westerner who has a love of Japan, Korea, and China I love seeing your videos! Learning a new language is fun but difficult, as someone who is learning Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean do u have any tips?
    1
  39005. Love that part, @Oriental Pearl, when you ate the "natto", as I also tried it, didn't really like it but I was hungry at the time so it was ok. Also, you should try the Fanta Melon Soda while you are there, as I'm sure you'll find one in the many vending machines in Tokyo. Just waiting for the COVID-19 restrictions to ease someday, so I can make my delayed trip back to Japan, as this was the first time in 40 years that I did not go to Japan for my birthday this year.

  39010. I am not trying to stereotype, but I do observe that certain race is better in picking up new languages; I think westerners have the talent, and also the Indian, I have many Indian friends who learn how to speak a new language effortlessly, and they are also good at story telling, and write wonderful novels.

  39017. I enjoy this type of video, seeing people engaged with aspects of their own culture can be a great icebreaker and lead to a deeper connection with strangers. One thing you notice if you watch a lot of street videos though is that the responses can feel rather canned, more of a memorized statement rather than an effort to speak and understand the language. I would appreciate it more if the polyglot would announce they are trying to learn the language and ask to speak with them instead of the sneak attack method that many employ. I will likely continue to watch street videos, but I ultimately only continue to follow the creators who seem to actually want to learn more about a culture and the people who are a part of it over the ones who use it as more of a parlor trick to create content.

  39023. Another great and no less impressive video. I like the gist of your videos which portrays your own creativity and your own distinct way of conducting your videos (instead of imitating others). I am really impressed by your social skills combined with mastery of the culture which makes your interactions and conversations very smooth going from one topic to another. Needless to mention –as everyone knows– you fluency is amazing. This video is at once an entertaining prank and an educational gem. It says a lot about the difference between the east and west. I think part of the influence on the east is due to eastern thinkers whose focused was on self-realization combined with ethics to reach wisdom like Confucius, Tao, Budda and Lao Tzu among many others. In the west, huge influence comes from philosophers of the enlightenment who theorized on liberalism and on the individuals in relation to the state. Such thinkers includes Locke, Kant, J.J. Rousseau and J.S. Mill among so many others. Thus, Western ethics are the consequence of socio-political organization along with liberal economy. Although I was not a student of History per se but I discovered that history give us lots of insight. The message of staff at the end sums it all up. Fortunately, philosophers have revived Eastern and Greek ethics called “Virtue Ethics”. It is a hot topic today with much interest from ethicists. But the bad news: all that is confined to academics and students involved in Philosophy and political science. But it is a good start and sounds promising to me. I am not judgemental here about any of cultures. I am only making an observation with regard to history of both and how it shapes current societies. It would be hard for people in western countries to see that “the person's worth is determined by how much money they have” is embedded in their subconscious mind only because they happened to grow up in individualistic society. That's why it is powerful for one to be open–minded as yourself to other cultures because at the end of the day, you can see through all conditionings which we take to be real while it is only geographically dependent. Sorry if I sound like over-analyzing stuff. I am of the habit of philosophizing and sharing my thoughts especially to stimulating topics that you bring in your videos. I must admit that I do not think that my ideas are completely true but I only conceive them on a probabilistic scale. Otherwise, I would close my mind to any new idea that higher probabilistically than mine....

As a lesbian, disabled woman I know these hate and I also know, that it hurts sometimes, even though I normally don't listen to such things. But from time to time it hits me anyways, so I think u need to hear from time to time, that you are just perfect!

  39036. actually no, not only because it is cheaper. Some choose to live in rural areas because with upcoming age you start to value nature and silence more and some choose it for their children because these areas have often less traffic, friendlier neighbourhoods, less crime, & better conditions for pets and wildlife what actually is a valuable lesson for kids to grow up with animals and learn to not be afraid of them. Also less places to buy junkfood from. Those are things i would prefer for my kids if i had some to begin with. Those thing are also general preferences world wide not limited to japan. In fact most people choose not to live in a dense city and if they do its almost always because of their job.

  39048. Oh man, I feel you... I'm German and I moved to Northern Ireland in June. It took me over two months to find an apartment and a job but luckily my partner and I were able to stay at his parents' place here. Then after only 2 months into my new job I started to get sick. I couldn't work anymore and I still can't, no sick pay, no benefits, no nothing. This whole virus situation has made everything even worse. And now I have reached a point where I have to move back to Germany although I really don't want to. I honestly thought my next step was going to be another country, maybe even Japan. And now I have to make a step back, it truly saddens me. I can't afford to stay here anymore and the UK is doing everything they can to make it as hard as possible for foreigners (at least when you're not super wealthy). Especially in NI. I'm fortunate enough that my boyfriend wants to come with me but now Germany has closed borders to foreigners from high risk areas. We have a rental contract here and it's hard to get out of that, we don't know when he can fly, what I should do myself and so on. I feel you.. Coronavirus messed pretty much everyone up. I feel pretty lost atm. It's horrible and I hope we're all going to get through this. You're a very strong person and I admire you a lot. I'm glad I found your channel. You're not only giving me a lot of motivation to continue with my language studies, you're truly an inspiration period.

  39074. I live in Phoenix and had no idea there were schools like that! That’s amazing, I’m so glad children here are being given those opportunities. I wish I would have started learning foreign languages so much earlier in life. I learned Spanish passively growing up here just by being exposed to so much Mexican culture, but forgot so much of it after not using it. And now only started taking studying other languages seriously a few years ago, I turn 30 soon and it seems to get harder to keep up the older I get lol

  39082. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. I deleted my previous comment to this vid and posted another one. When you watch things a second or third time, you spot things that you didn't when you watched it the first time. Like for instance, making a stir fry meat sandwich using lettuce. What a brilliant idea. Everything looked delicious. By the way. Those are some interesting snowmen indeed. LOL. Also, how did you manage to adjust to the hour difference from Michigan to Harbin (which is 12 hours ahead from Michigan)? Must have been hard. And finally, what an awesome tree garden. Like I said in my other comment, you did an awesome job transitioning between Michigan and Japan. Take it easy :-)

  39099. This was interesting .. it says "The Korean language is much more related to Chinese than one might think. Korean is also very closely related to Japanese, probably even more than Chinese, but Chinese words actually make up about 60% of the Korean vocabulary, though in actual speech (especially informally) native Korean words are more common." How factual is that .. being you are fluent in Chinese and Japanese and learning Korean. I spent 16 months in Korea and what stood out to me was that how much sense Hangul makes

  39100. Anyone Speaking Japanese is not that unusual anymore. Before 1900 it absolutely was, Japanese barely spoke a unified language. In 1900 sure it was too, most non-Japanese didn’t. After WWII it was also rare. Maybe after 1970 it made sense but still rare, with Japan economic rise. So anyone who was mix race born from that is 30 years old in year 2000, or 50 in 2020. Point is it’s not that weird anymore.

  39113. Japan’s population is 126300000 people, and 98.1% ethnic Japanese. If we say someone “looks Canadian,” it’s always based on what they’re wearing/doing/etc. To say that their physical appearance isn’t Canadian enough, is racist. If we say someone “looks Japanese,” it’s always based on their physical appearance. To say that what they’re wearing/doing isn’t Japanese enough, is racist. Unfortunately we still conflate race & ethnicity with nationality (and religion) in mostly homogenous societies. A white/black kid, born in China, would never actually be viewed as a Chinese person. They couldn’t attempt to look even remotely Han-Chinese passing, so they’d always just be seen as the child of foreigners; Chinese citizens that aren’t Chinese. As a Canadian, it’s just feels anathema to our views on multiculturalism.

  39123. i wanted to ask since you said learning more than one language at a time isn’t a good idea; i’m planning on doing a dual korean and chinese studies degree in university, is that not a good idea? i’ve been told that it’s easier to study one language for two years and then pick up the second in the third year and fourth year, but is it just easier or is it better?

  39125. Thanks for the personal response. The size and font style are fine ... the white color is difficult when the background is white. What about using a contrasting background at the bottom of the video for the subtitles. I really like what you are sharing. Will check with my vision specialist .. maybe he has something that will help. Keep up your great videos.

  39161. I went to Lima years ago and I was surprised just HOW many Asians live there - Chinese and Japanese mostly. We went on a mission trip and one of our team members was Chinese....or so I thought. She was born and raised in Arequipa, Peru. I also had a flatmate when I lived in Mexico City and he was born and raised in Argentina, but he was Korean.

  39163. Since I’m a total n00b when it comes to the language I can’t really ‘hear’ how Akashi’s comprehension of the language is different or better than yours. Is it that he has the potential to learn that much languages and be that good in a language that is not his own? Sidenote: I learned today how to count in Japanese 😅.

I was just curious if a lot of the people who stared at you when you spoke Chinese in the food market were actually Japanese natives or Chinese patrons of the market?

  39188. I'm from Brazil and I really liked his portuguese. I don't know why people get so angry about your videos. Actually , I think they are quite inspiring. I'm learning japanese now, because next year I intend to live in Japan, so for me seeing you on the streets and talking to people shows that this is possible. To learn any language is not a simple task, to live abroad, neither. People who comment without having that in mind should have the experience. You created the video, you discovered a way to confort you while doing It. There's no problem in such thing. Thank you for your content, I love to see how nice you are with people, regardless the gender, age, etc. Love to watch It!

  39190. When I, as a North European, speak Thai to people in Thai cities, I get no wow reactions, but just businesslike replies right from beginning. Once I mailed a letter in Thailand in a post office whose staff I knew to be fluent in English. I spoke English to them, but as soon as the clerk saw me write a Thai address, I did not get a word of English from her, but instead a rebuke: "As you write Thai, you could as well speak it, too". In 1980's Japanese people spoke English to foreigners and were surprised to get even a word in Japanese for a reply. Nowadays they (at least those working in customer service) seem to assume that foreigners speak Japanese, and they comment the skills of the foreigner only rarely.

  39191. you may not see this comment but I know you speak Japanese and I was wondering when you started learning Japanese? Also is 11 a good age to start learning Japanese.

  39192. Hi, I love your videos, I have to take issue with you on one statement you made: “ you said I am not considered that pretty in my country “. I am a fellow American and I think you are gorgeous and your personality lights up where ever you visit. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
    1
  39193. I absolutely love your videos. And I wish I could speak japanese as good as you do. But when I think that japan is closed for us foreigners, maybe for decades, maybe forever, then I´m soo sad. In that moments, I wonder if its worth the effort to learn the language, when I might not be able to visit japan ever again 💔

  39194. For people who are interested in learning Japanese: Exposure, exposure, exposure. Immersion is the #1 most important thing when learning a language. For example, you can study grammar points, vocabulary and useless knowledge about the language but then when someone comes to talk to you, you blank out. However, when you immerse yourself in a language, you unconsciously pick up the language little by little and eventually, it’ll roll off the tongue. I can’t tell you how many phrases and small nuanced grammar structures I picked up just by reading articles or watching 3 minute news segments that otherwise wouldn’t be featured in a textbook. 日本語の勉強に興味を持っている方々へ 露出、露出、露出。ある言語を勉強中、一番大事なのは露出だと思います。まずは、実例を挙げると、どのぐらい単語や文法構成や役に立っていないことを勉強したりしても、誰かがあなたと一緒に会話したいという瞬間になったら頭が真っ白になるでしょう。しかし、ある言語に露出すればするほど、無意識に少しずつ吸収したりして、さらにじっくり思わずに話せるようになるみたいな感じでしょう。記事を読んだり３分の動画を見たりするだけで、どのぐらい教科書で出てこない文法構成とか慣用表現とかを受けてしまったのかは僕が言葉だけで表せないことです

  39205. I mean, I'm semi fluent in American Sign Language, and can have complex conversations with my knowledge of the language. But regardless of my knowledge I'm still constantly asking someone to "slow down", or to "repeat" themselves. And even in casual conversation I dont use proper grammar. Nobody is perfect.

  39224. Listening to podcasts when I am walking or commuting is also a part of my life that creates value for me. Anming, I have one suggestion for you, the ear buds you are using might hurt your hearing if you use them frequently like on a loud street like that. A pair of noise canceling ear buds will save you from that situation. Do take care of yourself. Many are looking forward to more contents from your interesting experience.

  39242. I think the fake polyglot phenomena has to do with their ability to acquire a near native accent quickly and parrot a few phrases and the fact that most English speakers are monolingual. If you really challenge them, you will discover that they have basic conversational skills only.
    1
  39243. True, foreigners are treated with tolerance but once you behave like a Japanese you are expected to know the culture and conduct yourself like one - there is no more novelty. Generally, Japanese are hospitable towards visitors - that's tourism for the country.
    1
  39244. I had a casual friend a few years ago who was a polyglot. She was a Bosnian Muslim and a refugee from there. Her father was killed right in front of her by Bosnian militia. She spoke 5 languages and worked for the State Department. A really sweet person, but she always seemed very sad to me.

  39257. Maybe she's an Auntie from the Lost Generation keeping an eye on people - like the Uncles in China who would watch youtubers and report them filming to security because they think there's suspicious activity. Serpentza (a South African vlogger who lived in China for over 10 years) has video footage of himself being talked to by security. Him and his business partner C-Milk have talked about it multiple times. She might be thinking the same thing since she probably wouldn't expect a white girl to be fluent in Chinese making friends with Chinese people in Japan.

  39259. Individualism is a good thing, and as is being American. I enjoy these freedoms. Don’t try to say what you think others would say or think about Americans. By the way, that same ballsy attitude is what it took for you to do what you are doing. Keep up the ballsyness!! And don’t sell your fellow Americans too short. I still love watching and will support your page.

It takes years and years to learn the culture and costumes of any group of people speaking a certain language and you really can't learn a language in a few months and actually be fully fluent. Yes you might pass all the tests on language proficiency the same everyone had in school but speaking with people casually and using the language in every context imaginable and this is always different than only knowing the correct grammar and the correct pronunciation.

It would be interesting to see your take on Awa Odori festival. Also, I spotted a Western man taking part, possibly American with the Kikusuiren. I have seen him a few times. Maybe worth an interview if he is still with them! 😊

  39302. Llol. He definitely remember ed two weeks waiting for your reply. Too funny!! Congratulations. I hope the cultural difference isn't overwhelming the love. It's very hard and a lot of work. But if you can settle your difference about food. You're on a good path. Who doesn't like Chinese food? Japanese?....I don't know. It looks good. Japanese are marvelous people. Good luck on not being a housewife. Mothers are expected to be childcareers 100percent. And more. So, just don't loose yourself when you find yourself crying while you're breastfeeding. Truth, you will. Because it's simply overwhelming. I felt chained to the rocking chair for six months and gave up. Now with milk pumps, hopefully you won't have to go through that. Get two.!!!! Llol other than that, if hubby helps with the child care, you're doubly blessed. And those grandparents probably want babies right away. They'll be gorgeous!!! My girls were proof that God exists. They were so beautiful!!! And so smart!!! Blessings to you both.

  39307. My neighbourhood gym in Japan had this chalk board where the staff would write cliched motivational type slogans and such, sometimes in Japanese and sometimes in English too (not that 95% of people there would be able to read it, but using English as a marketing tool is apparently cool and all that). One of those was "Lets Get Shredded Together!" - which aside from being as corny as it gets, now takes on a whole new meaning if other Japanese people also think of shredded as meaning depressed ;-) !

  39349. I just discovered your channel and want to say I LOVE IT! I am also an American traveling throughout SE Asia for the last couple of years, and watch a lot of YouTube videos posted by like-minded travelers. Your channel is one of the few ones that just has a natural, easy-going, and genuine feel. I also love your sense of humor, envy your command of Mandarin and Japanese language, and how easily you are able to relate to those who speak those languages. I would give anything to be able to do that! Also, contrary to what you said in one of your videos, I am American and I happen to think you are very pretty! Anyway, just wanted to say "Kudos to you!", and I hope this whole COVID-19 thing get resolved enough that you can return to China soon. Wishing you the very best...and keep the videos coming!

  39355. FANTASTIC! I think you have more courage than most people including myself. I studied French in High School and College and lived in Montreal for 3 years. My proficiency is decent but nowhere near your Chinese. I think fear holds a lot of people from learning a new language AND travelling abroad. I give you tons of credit for pursuing your dreams regarding both

  39363. That is very true. Before the current apocalypse, I'd often go to Osaka/Fukuoka from Korea by myself to go to concerts or just time away from work. When I'm around Korean/Japanese people and speaking the language; people do get taken aback moreso than when I'm with other foreigners that look like they're from the states. Regardless, I think they're moreso taken aback because I'm NOT speaking english. LOL If anything it's always sparked conversations and hasn't given me a negative experience. I love taking solo trips to Japan because of the random people I meet. I've met a lot of good people and look forward to seeing them if I'm in the area.

  39369. I know tons of Western women--and men--who did this. It's not uncommon. 20 years is actually really just the beginning of cultural immersion. But I am Asian, live on the West Coast of the USA...so in my context...her immersion is not so unusual. Like I literally know a Jew who is a Zen Archery Master who has taught on a high level and spent years immersed in Japan...once you enter that orbit...you see that it is not so unusual.

  39370. cool❤️🎌

  39371. I'm sorry but travelling/living in a virtually mono-ethnic/linguistic country eg Japan or a China as a white Westerner this reaction is only logical. Japanese and Mandarin (to a level of fluenecy) are not widely spoken by Westerners or foreigners as a whole. Japanese is essentially spoken in one country alone and thus why would they expect you to speak it when they don't know anything else about you? It simply reflects the reality rather than the ideal as you'd like it to be. It is a positive thing that they react so candidly and are genuinely interested in your linguistic story. If this is something that bothers people as Westerners (I am one) overseas you need to grow up or head home. It's going to happen for the rest of your life. Language is beautiful and so are the cultural exchanges it engenders. Embrace it.

And being a Japanese language learning I know the tremendous amount of work and dedication it must of took to not only learn that but 2 additional foreign languages. You should be proud to do that and all you have experienced and done. And to make and create edit and do content for YouTube is a lot also. Don’t listen to the haters when you have touch so many that support you

  39389. Your friend lol, not only in Japan but a lot of Asian in general are kind of like that.. it's really annoying. I think it's a wide spread culture.
    1
  39390. Unfortunately for you I believe that you do not realize how rare your skill is. You become annoyed when Chinese people look at you they see an American but when they hear their language come out of your mouth of course it’s going to get a reaction, whether negative or positive because what you’re doing is such a rarity that is why they react the way they do. Your skill is incredible and don’t ever think that it’s not special because it is, what you have done is mastered more than two languages in your young life. That is an accomplishment that not a lot of people can say they’ve achieved! Don’t ever get annoyed at anyone because they’re surprised when you’re speaking a language that is incredibly hard to learn if you’re not born into it. Be proud of who you are, be proud of what you have accomplished and be proud of everything that you have achieved! Keep up the good work because you have the ability to bring two cultures together with understanding and meaning. You have created a bridge between two worlds and you have done that unknowingly! Good luck to you and have fun with this because I enjoy your videos. Sending hugs from Louisiana United States of America.🤗

  39398. Wow--loving your videos! It sure helps being in and around the countries to be able to practice with the people--that will strengthen the language you are practicing! But I will look into Pimsleur as you advised on another video. Right now I am using Duolingo to brush up on some languages I already know, and started a couple of new ones (one of which is Mandarin!) Keep learning more languages--it's so much fun, and those who speak the languages we learn, are usually very appreciative that they can converse with us!😊

  39415. I enjoy your videos of your life in Japan and how you interact with the Asian people. You stick out like a sore thumb over there, but when you start to speak their language you get a whole new respect. Is there street gangs in Japan, and have you bought any Akoya or Micky Moto pearls?
    1
  39416. I watch these videos not because I am planning to learn a language, but to have some form of non-brain dead youtube watching. I understand there are alot of click-bait language speakers, but if I may speak for those of us who only speak 1 language, can SOMEONE please put REAL subtitles on someone else's video? I know no one wants to start a war, but it would REALLY be interesting just to see an ACTUAL translation of whats being said on some youtube language videos. There is no way for someone like me who has no plans to actually audit a videos translation myself to pick out actual language speakers from those faking, other than to just look out for the same video over and over again with clickbait titles. I really think there is a place for reaction/correction videos, just like there are those out for other areas in YouTube.

  39417. Hey great video! Started watching your videos because I noticed how skilled you are, and small YTers are refreshing to watch. Fun fact: I saw you on HelloTalk! Lol fellow American here learning Korean and Japanese. I agree with most of the tips you gave in this video, particularly about not learning too many languages at a time. Although I am learning two at one time lol...Can't be helped though, 'cause I love learning Korean too much and plan to live there again at one point, and Japanese...well like you I live here!

  39463. I am french, I was in Viena last week and I speak Japanese a little (N4-N3) There was a lot of a Asian people but its difficult to find out Japanese sometimes and cant speak if I am not sure. But at the restaurant while looking for menu I heard some Japanese voices, so I speak to them ( It was maybe a little rude or false "Meshi Agare" but to show my interest it was OK ) their reaction was like on your video :O:O . It was a couple from Osaka and I love Osaka . I didnt want to bother them too much so I didnt speak long time but It was cool :) ps : sorry for my English too :D

  39477. I've been to Japan three times. Visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and one trip spent three days at a resort on the slopes of Mt Fuji and I never felt I had to know Japanese. Of course I didn't blunder about asking questions in English either, I'm just not that social. I learned simple greetings and a few basic phrases and that was enough for me. BTW my brother lived in Japan for years and is fluent and his wife is from Japan.

  39490. Always interesting and always enjoyable, no matter the topic or content. While in Japan my wife took me to a "Love Hotel" - where you can hire a room for only a couple or few hours (the family residences didn't really afford much privacy). But more shocking than that was an automatic dispensing machine at a bus stop dispensing porn videos! At a bus stop? There's a strange mix of salacious openness and prudery going on here, something I was never able to get my head completely around.

  39493. I can't help it a lot to think that a lot of this stuff is ideas that spring from political stereotypes. Because I'm American I must hate Chinese and vice versa, for instance. That couldn't be further from the truth. And that's just one example out of billions probably.

I've been loving your videos that it's so important to learn new languages for you to communicate with ppl perfectly or at least know what you want. Take care, and i've been following since almost a yr. just know basic Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese. Thanks for you and ppl i've met during the time. TAKE CARE 😃❤💯

  39514. Thanks for your advice on learning languages. On another note, i could understand with being used for helping with english. I wouldn’t like it either, but Its how an app i want to use works though. The paid classes are a bit expensive, but the community section lets you talk with a language partner for free; Half an hour of English, and half an hour of their language, so it could be a good exchange too. Also i’m glad kids are learning languages nowadays. One of my cousins is 12 and he knows how to speak russian, in the US, also my niece is 6 and she is learning spanish.

  39519. Personally I think people who bothers about this are not different from those who bother about others uploading videos while travelling, sightseeing, or any other activity a little bit out of the box. I think this is just a jealousy issue which always will be exists in many different context, people just do not like to see others achieving something that requires effort.

  39540. I have been enjoying your videos. Better than watching the news! :-) I have about 30 more videos to watch, and I will have seen them all. Why do I like your channel? My wife is Chinese (from Honolulu - only English) and we lived in Japan for 5 years. I guess that’s the connection. We taught school (mostly International Schools) for 20 years overseas (Washington State residents) in 7 different countries. I always tried to learn as much of the local languages as I could. From 1973-78 we lived 3 years in Okinawa, 1 near Yokota Air Base, and 1 in Misawa in the Aomori Prefecture. We loved Okinawa and Misawa. We aren’t city people, but we did do a lot of exploring when living near Tokyo. I’m not a fan of Yokohama as I always got lost driving there. Back then, there were no signs in English, but we drove down to Kyoto and Nara. Even though your command of the local language is poor, it is important to grab a dictionary and explore. I studied Spanish in school and moved to Japan. It did help me a little with pronunciation. We are retired now, living in California half the year, and we stay in Mexico for 3 weeks every year. I’d rather learn more Japanese, but situation makes more sense to increase my Spanish. Here in CA I hear Spanish every day, so it provides me more opportunity to practice. Your videos have inspired me to study Spanish, and I’m currently (because of you) using Pimsleur. I’m on level 1 Lesson 12. Since I’m pretty old and my brain doesn’t work as fast, I often spend a fews days on one lesson. The pause in the lesson is too short for me to get my brain working. When I can converse with the lesson quickly enough, I move on to the next one. I also play with Duolingo. It’s fun and has helped me with vocabulary and reading skills, but Pimsleur is the only way to go for conversational skills. I study a few hours every day. I’m sorry you got locked out of going back to China, but God often steers us in HIS direction and gave you Tommy. I love Japan, and tried to get back there, but my path always led elsewhere. We lived in Seoul for a while - loved it. We were as far out of the city as possible and still be considered in Seoul. Learning to read Korean wasn’t very hard, but I didn’t know what the meanings were. Thank you for your videos. Can’t wait for some in South Korea. We have a Qigong channel called Qigong With Dave and Lucy. Got into Qigong when learning Tai Chi.

  39542. I tried rosetta stone to learn Japanese and in the end gave up. If I would have had people to have conversations then I believe I would have been able to learn.
    1
  39543. Wow those comments you showed at the beginning were some infantile tantrums. “Waaaaah she can’t be Japanese!” lol. Anyway I’d like to say that Beni’s case is really interesting as it really shows the complexities that some individuals face in the age of globalisation. Japan is heavily integrated into this globalised world despite the largely 98% Japanese/Yamato ethnic group make up of the country. And as the country faces inevitable demographic collapse with a high percentage of elders and low birth rates, it’s likely cases such as Beni in Japan will become more common with more loose migration policies from the Japanese state. I’m glad that she as an individual is happy and stays true to her origins and story despite some of the short-mindedness of people 😊

  39550. Lol when I lived in China I did meet a few Chinese people who could speak Japanese. Since my Chinese is not so good, I ended up meeting and speaking Japanese at cinemas, cafes, restaurants etc. The look on people's faces haha it was worth it. When I went back to h Japan I also did chat in Chinese with a JR employee at JR Ibaraki station in Osaka. He started speaking to me in Chinese when I told him I had spent two years in China. Haha this time Japanese people staring at me lol. It was worth it.

  39577. Great video!! Very interesting! I want to visit every place in Japan, hahah! But I admit I wish to live in Tokyo (despite the fact I've always lived in a country house and prefer to stay close to the nature instead of the city xD), but I guess it's mainly because of jpop, hahah! I love boybands and I feel like it might be easier to buy stuff, see stuff related to them etc if I'm in Tokyo... but I'm not sure since I haven't been there yet xD The other reason is bc I'm vegan, and from all I've read till now, Tokyo seems easier to find vegan food. But, again, I'm not sure since I never had the chance to visit Japan, hahah! Anyway, thank you for all the info you gave in this video! I wanna study japanese in Japan before I actually have a chance to work there. I've always searched for schools in Tokyo, but after this vid, I'm definitely going to look for schools in other regions only xD

  39585. I genuinely feel bad for people that say nasty things to strangers online. You just know that they're not living happy lives and all they're doing is announcing to the world that they are miserable. It's a cry for attention almost. If you ask me, the meaning of life is simply to live as happily as you can and gain as much experience as you can (hopefully passing on that knowledge in some form at some point) before you die. I wish everyone the best in that regard!

  39586. "Eat until you throw up!" Yup. That about sums it up. Welcome to America.

  39587. I am surprised you don't know "Gweilo" (鬼佬). It is a semi-derogatory term used in Cantonese to describe a white male foreigner. It literally means "Demon Man". It was started way back in the days when white men first arrived in Guangzhou (Canton) area of China. The term is used so often and common nowadays that it's really not that derogatory. Gweipor or 鬼婆 refers to white female foreigners. Almost all Cantonese speakers would use these two terms to describe white men and women. I am a Cantonese myself, and when I see a White guy, my brains just automatically refer to him as Gweilo. Gweilo and Gweipoh refers to adults, like over 30 years old. For under 30, there are different terms, Gweizai (鬼仔）which means young white male, and Gweimui (鬼妹), which means young white female.

  39614. There are those who are just insecure and there are those who exploit insecurities for their own gain. The former is a bit jealous but what are you going to do? The latter those who stir up divisiveness for clout or views. Both are best ignored.

  39616. Dang I hope I can experience something like this! Meeting such friendly people while effortlessly switching your spoken language is so cool. I'm currently studying Japanese formally, just started on January. It'll be my 2nd foreign language after English which I've used since childhood alongside my native being Indonesian. Though for English itself I only paid like half attention to what school taught me and the rest is pretty much daily use on entertainment like movies, music, and books, and the internet lol

  39619. Completely agree on all points! I "studied" for years and barely learned a thing and I realized it was mostly mental blocks that I had inflicted on myself. Once I took it more seriously, I passed 3 levels of HSK in one year and am on track to pass HSK 5 in November. What I need to start doing more is what you do all the time - speak to people! Quarantine made that a bit more difficult than normal but far from impossible. Once I pass HSK 5 I think I'll shift to either Japanese or Korean (haven't decided yet!) Love your outlook and your videos are lovely. Keep up the great work!

  39622. Would knowing how to speak and read Chinese help in anyway learning Korean for you? or would it be like learning from scratch so to speak?
    1
  39623. I would watch an Oriental Pearl miniseries about Japanese business culture. I'd like to know how much has changed since pre-2000 times. You might need to interview some older folks to fully answer that, though. You mentioned listening to Japanese language lessons on the trip home - did you give up on learning Korean?

  39632. Why this even needs explaining and analysis? It almost looks like jealousy... Obviously some people have very narrow perspective of their own, this should be simple, if you don't like something and it is not in your way, walk away, let others have it... some people rather want things to not exist, because they don't like them then worry about thinking they might not understanding it, so until they ready to debate and consider others then just them self, i guess it needs to be ignored

  39662. Just a comparison: Being an American, living in Sweden, speaking Swedish fluently, I never get a single reaction to that I can speak the language. Not even one. 😂 It's maybe because I look just like everybody else around here, speak like everybody else, and in dialect, and frankly, Swedes don't really care or even comment such things anyway. 😂 A YouTube channel about that situation would be useless.. 😂😂😂 Sigh. 😉

  39681. yeh, in the 80's i spent 7 years going round europe, im scotish by the way, i learned to order food and drink in several european languages, but that's about it, but i wasn't trying to learn the languages, just showing that i was trying as a brit to be polite, and not a thug, and it went a long way to being accepted, made my travels easyer, and that's all i wanted, so mission accomplished, and this is all i see most polyglots do on youtube, interesting, but not amazing. :)

  39685. How much are you making from it? Let’s say in 2020 so far? Are you not making bank? I imagine you’re making at least a few hundred US$ per video. Not a lot comparatively speaking but still very nice. Bravo on your channel by the way.

  39687. Love your videos. When you’re allowed back out, I would love to see different “English” things. You mentioned sometimes the English isn’t good on a vending machine or whatever. I wanna see what/how they write!
    1
  39688. I hail thee, Pearl! I learned 2 languages and deepened 2 (both native ones) from all sources taken together. Literature, apps, radio. Talking only helped me with fluent speech and better pronounciation in the rapids of a lively conversation. For instance, for a very long time I was able to write in English as a poet from a bygone age could. Thusly I can not agree unconditilnally with you, oh Pearl of Pearls. It would seem to me that this holds true especially when it comes to languages that are extremely foreign to your native one(s), such as Nihongo. Walk blessed and be well!

  39689. Hey i have a question, would it be hard to find a job at a farm in the countryside/suburbs as a foreigner? I seem to prefer the rural side of Japan than the big cities.

  39693. I admire your dedication to language but I can't help but ask, why are you so determined to go that far to learn another? Probably the same reason I'm learning Japanese but still curious 😂

  39695. thank you for another video!

  39696. That's Japan tho. Pretty sure a surprised reaction is what you'll get if you were speaking Chinese in America. Chinese people see white people all day here & none ever speak chinese, so when one does it's gotta be a shock. I lived in America my whole life & I have yet to see 1 single white person speak my ethnic language, & if I did, i'd jump outta my shoes 100%. Can't even imagine it.
    1
  39697. I feel like we need to get you more subscribers so you and your 中国人朋友 can upgrade! :-) I'm so jealous of your ability to switch between Japanese and Chinese like that. I speak Mandarin at home with my husband, but it's only very simple phrases and because we're married, we say similar things to each other all the time, so when I try to have a normal conversation with folks, I find that they always say stuff that I can't understand yet. sigh Well, you're an inspiration to us all! ^_^

  39731. It can be hard even in English speaking to other Americans. I was at the Post Office the other day and complimented the lady behind the counter .. she was dressed beautifully and I told her so .. and yeah .. I was a bit hesitant to say that to a stranger .. and it wasn't the "How dare you compliment me!" .. but instead a pleased thanks. Turns out that speaking not only Chinese or Japanese .. but as you point out time and again .. take that opportunity when you have it

You are amazing and inspiring and this is off topic but just with those few notes @5:38 - 5:42 I recognize one of my favorites pieces by TSFH "Skyworld" and I'm morally obligated to state this so others can listen to that great album and song. That said, now I've got more motivation than ever to learn Chinese and Japanese!! I must aspire to that great burn at 7:10, "You'll get it eventually." XD

  39740. I agree with the simpler language part. I'm learning japanese myself so sometimes I try to follow along and it makes me want to watch more if I can follow along more often.

  39741. Very interesting video. I have lived in India and had keen interest in Asian culture since I was a boy. I have been Buddhist since 16 and am 50 now. I have more knowledge and practise lifestyle that you could call East Asian . I live in UK now and am British by birth. I will move to Japan in next few years. Anyway culture is what it is in Japan and any other country thorough interaction with other cultures. It's natural for people to adopt and live in another culture. It's not wrong or abnormal. These people that criticise have no understanding of this and think cultures are fixed like an exhibit in a museum.. they try to enforce cultural rules for others and yet preach diversity and inclusivity and freedom . Just ignore these people they are just Extremely ignorant. You obviously have a love for both Japan and your birth home and it's perfectly normal!!! Love your videos

  39743. A really really nice video, it's so fun to watch you! The only sad thing is how other countries imagine Germany. Anyone who sees this and then travels to Germany must think they have landed in the wrong country. Unless he only visits the handful of (tourist) places in the very south where it really looks similar. But you wouldn't get the food shown there either, it has nothing to do with German cuisine. Anyway, Germany is so much more than a few places in Bavaria. Just like America is more than cowboys and cattle ranches.

  39760. The first of your videos that I listened to, was about people being surprised when you started talking one language they didn't expect you to know, and then another. There are several polyglots posting such videos on YouTube. It is so funny to watch the reactions - the "wow" moments. Actually it's more than just funny. There's must be some mechanism, that I bet psychologists know all about, that makes us able to enjoy surprises again and again through our fellow human beings. It evokes much the same emotions as if we ourselves go through the experience for the first time - even if we never actually did! In this technological world of ours, we can record these special wow-moments, distribute them to all of us, and repeat them over and over. So that's how I started watching your channel. I'll tell you later why I kept watching. (It's in the REPLY here.)
    1
  39761. I've always wondered how it is to actually live in other parts of the world. You don't really get to understand that from watching regular TV programs. When I watched your videos, you really let me into your daily life, far more than similar videos I've watched. So I went on to watch all kinds of videos you make, after the initial videos I watched where you surprise people with your language skills. You not only have the perspective of a foreigner coming to another country, but also that of someone putting an enormous effort into being extremely well integrated into not just one, but two cultures very different from your own. Through your background you know how to communicate the experience to the world, while at the same time you remove the language and culture barrier for us in a uniqe way. I feel I'm right there with you. You impress even the natives with your language skills, who in some cases tell us you speak their language even better than themselves. You engage very well with the viewers and with the people you meet, not least because of your positive attitude. Your skill handling the camera during recording is phenomenal, and the technical quality and editing is also superb.

  39764. I guess the shock titles or click bait titles serve a couple purposes. The obvious is to get views from people who will never take the time to learn secondary languages because they are afraid to put in the time and effort to learn one. A second group are interested in a specific language and hope to find a magic bullet short cut to fluency. I know I've viewed some of these speak fluent whatever in seven, ten, or whatever days. They didn't give me the short cut that worked for me, and most actually frustrated me cause I wasn't fluent in however many days. Some gave me a little hint that helped, other's just were a waste of time. I found the Stupid, Ignorant White person video's were a one trick pony and after viewing a few were boring. Polyglot can speak X number of languages were in most cases just humble brags, so I rarely watch them any more. So what have a learned - Language like any skill get's easier the more you learn and the harder you practice. That being fluent means different things to different people. I'm technically fluent in general English, but not specialized English for Math or computers. So I don't beat myself up because I'm not fluent in every area of Japanese or any area of Japanese to be honest. But I'm also better than I was a year ago, and I work my way through the hard patches that always appear, rather then stepping back or giving up. You showed me you that if like you did, I'm willing to put in the time and effort a general level of fluency is possible. So initially the language brought me to your channel, it was the use of the language that opened up parts of the culture, experiences and places that you'll never experience in the same way without the language. I stay because of the content and the creator are interesting and inspiring. I learn stuff I didn't know about, and see places and things in a different light. That's why this channel has grown and will continue grow at lightening speed compared to many channels.

  39775. The outside area/balcony really makes the new apartment worthwhile. But, Tokyo gets pretty cold (colder than Southern California here), and so, it may limit the time that that area is useful. And the sakura panels that you put in the bedroom really transform it. Which area did you find this new place if not Shinjuku?

  39796. Hi 🙋🏾‍♀️. You always have interesting videos. It was so funny that he asked if you guys were brother & sister 🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾too funny. The first time I went to Japan I wore a big Afro & saw some guys in a restaurant with big blonde hair. They said “COOL!” then I told them “COOL”, then we all took selfies. They tried Eigo & I tried Nihongo. Our language skills were awful 😂. It was fun meeting people. I’m going to purchase a Langogo for my next holiday to Japan (when individual tourist can travel). Thank so much you for sharing.

  39801. I think for me living in Japan, more things are fascinating to me because not only is it because it's Japan, but also because I come from a much smaller city, in a prairie province focused on farming and outdoorsy lifestyles. And now I'm living in Tokyo, about to move to Fukuoka, both big, major cities. So I'm experiencing big city life for the first time, but also Japan life.

  39808. Who is reading those "suggestive" manga ? The answer to that surprised me too when I first came here and walked into convenience stores, always seeing the manga/magazine section crowded with a certain type of customer. No it wasn't the stereotypical otaku types that are into manga/anime back in Australia, but middle-aged and older, everyday-Joe looking Japanese salary men in their generic suits and ties - then I started paying attn. to what that same demographic were looking at on the trains at rush hour - same thing ! Not the fanbase I expected at all ...

  39815. I very much appreciate when you label the moments where the tone is hard to tell such as writing "JOKING" near the top of the screen. I think that is necessary clarification in these sorts of videos

  39816. Thank you for this helpful video. I'm gonna share this video with my brother who just started learning Chinese. It was actually surprising to me, because I always wanted to motivate him to start learning the languages I'm learning myself. But I guess he found his own language he wants to study☺.

  39817. Thank you - I’ve been having problems staying motivated but I think somehow that helped.

  39818. I find it funny that in their petty little brains they actually think they have enough power and influence that their words have some sort of actual impact. Kinda feel sorry for them. Anyways, haters gonna hate, no need to bother, you do you and be happy, that's what matters.

  39823. Just to manage expectations a bit, foreigners and especially ones who can speak fluent Japanese, are no longer a curiosity and are now pretty common all over Japan. Go to a 7-11 in an urban area and the person behind the counter will quite possibly be Indian or Thai. I’ve stayed at a hotel up in the Japan alps that was completely owned and operated by an Indian family but with the type of service Japanese expect. Don’t expect to automatically be treated special because you’re foreign, be happy that you’re treated nicely because that’s just how Japanese are normally.

  39836. @Oriental Pearl How many years did you learn Chinese before going to China to study? As an American born Chinese/Japanese, I always wished I could speak the 3 languages you speak. But sadly, I am just one of those Americans that speaks just 1 language. My parents didn't teach me anything. And, like the girl said, Chinese is hard. I know a little Chinese and a little Japanese. I think I have to move to China or Japan to get any kind of speaking ability. I was thinking of China for a few years.

  39838. With regard to the Japanese/Chinease "relations" during WW2 and the cruelties done by some of the Japanese military I am astonished that there is such a vibrant Chinease community in Japan? Especially with regard to Japanese "opinion" about foreigners of all sorts ^^ ..... Hope this is a sign that people start to get along with each other better.

Keep up the good work!

  39871. Anming, it is disgusting the amount of packaging they used in Japan and also plastic to add to the woes. Why don't they go back to basics and resort to paper instead as it is more sustainable. Japan has always been a non sustainable user of products including at one stage harvesting vast quantities of softwood forest down in Australia. You would think after Fukushima and all the nuclear problems they encountered, they would be more environmentally conscious. Sad but they have not.

  39872. Your personality is so awesome.

  39891. It was surprising for me that you guys use eye colors to identify who because I have never cared about somebody’s eye color and did not know what my eye color was and vaguely thought my eyes were black until I was told that I had brown eyes by ａforeigner． For us the most important part about eyes is types of eyelids.Not only about if they are single or double, they have a lot of variations. Face shape is another important point to tell what ethnic group one belongs to. Han is a very big and diverse ethnic group so compared to Korean or Mongolian, it was harder to tell the specific facial features of them but they do have obviously. Even some Han Chinese raised in Japan can be distinguished from Japanese.

  39892. Ah... Making mistakes is hard... But yes very necessary... It's easier to make these mistakes in class, haha I can't wait until my next JPN class starts up again! Tho it will be online and makes it much harder to practice in class. A quick question, when someone corrects you in conversation, what do you usually reply with? Other than sounds of agreement/understanding, when they are finished explaining would it be better to reply with すみません as a sort of sorry&thank you response? Hope that question makes sense lol Enjoying your videos very much! どうもありがとございました!

  39914. I also think purpose matters. I watch people who can talk and live in the country. Live and make friends. Writing and reading is not needed unless they need to work in that language.

  39918. There is a difference between foods which are genuinely "yummy" and those which are touted as a traditional local delicacy maybe because at one time they were the best thing people had. In a remote town in China my wife and I chose the "local delicacy". The entire restaurant staff gathered around to watch us eat it and take turns asking us if we were enjoying it. Very hard to keep smiling, it was almost inedible. Later we found out (this being the 'off' season) none of them were trained cooks, they were all students with little or no catering experience.

  39919. I wanna learn japanese so bad, but I'm still studying spanish
    1
  39920. This was cool, I usually only see the videos of where people are shocked. It makes sense that not everyone will be surprised, just depends on their experience and I assume location has an impact due to some places have more foreigners visiting than others.
    1
  39921. think Japanese is a simple and very logically structured language. Should be easy to learn. But it’s not. As a former student of the language, for me the big barrier, and my ultimate downfall was the writing system. Alphabets aren’t perfect (English and French are good examples), but done right (like say Spanish, German and Arabic) they go a long way to create confidence in the new learner. For these learners, difficulties encountered with grammar and pronunciation are countered with being able to read the language without much difficulty. In the study of Japanese, the experience is almost reversed. Grammar and pronunciation aren’t so hard. It’s the writing system that presents major problems for ever being fluent in Japanese unless you’re willing to be an illiterate Japanese speaker, a prospect no serious language learner would ever consider an option. It’s almost as if the Japanese want to discourage foreigners from learning their language! Some advice to the Japanese people: adopt an alphabet to write your language and thus make it easier for foreigners to learn your language. Unless of course you don’t want that...

  39926. You give me more courage to speak to people in my target language. I'm always so nervous 😆 Making a small comment (like 'nice dress') is a way to start I hadn't considered.

  39928. I mean, you are showing off your talents to us all - this makes some people mad, but the world advances by people being bold, not using their skills in secret. Also, if people don't like your entertainment, they can watch something else, or create a bitchy, moaning video that some other people will like. Then sometimes both parties wonder around at the same time"other side" and even more people are entertained. You see where I am going with this - YT will never run out of content :-) Love your commitment to languages.

  39948. When living in Germany, we had almost the EXACT experience: two months rent in advance, one month's deposit, one month for realtor fee, all deposits for phone and utilities, and, craziest of all, we had to buy our own kitchen - everything! However, we had a huge townhouse compared to y'all. We also had a yard - about 15 square feet but still...enough room to sit outside and use a grill. My job, with my very limited Germans, was to tell our American neighbors not to garden on Sunday, have their children only play in designated playgrounds, and NOT on the street in front of their homes, park on the street. ALWAYS look to the right when driving neighborhoods as their are no "yield" or stop signs. As our boss would say, "It's not wrong, it's different."

  39968. I watch your videos and other language videos now and then, but even though I might really like to be able to speak Chinese or other great sounding languages, I'm too much of a hermit to ever get any real use out of doing it. But I love seeing the cheerfulness and to see different people's light up when they hear someone speak their language who is not from their location. Great video. 😁👍

  39992. Even when you girls go to the temple I get have to say that I love the architecture of the temple and I have been making my board on Pinterest of my future dream house. I want my dream home to be a traditional Japanese house with an outdoor soaking tub and an indoor soaking tub and also heated floor (a must have), tatami flooring in a couple of tatami rooms, kotatsu (also a must have), Japanese garden (either a dry garden or a regular garden with plants and pond and stuff like that. Also I have yet to actually make mochi (I have attempted it before and it didn’t come out right) . I also want to actually go to Japan and Immerse myself into the culture and also buy up a ton of things like those wind chimes that I believe are called farins. I am self thought (by a little percent of which I only know basics but can do numbers from 1-10 and say thank you, please, goodbye, hello, good morning, excuse me, and other basic Japanese phrases). I love anime and would love to get out to Japan and experience a cosplay maid cafe in person (and not through the inter webs ; I would also love to get a few (I mean a lot) of anime related things/merch. I would also love if I could find a lover (cause I’m a Pringle) that is Japanese. I have had this dream ever sence I was in about middle/high school (that’s about the time my mother told me that I am 1/4 Japanese cause her mother (my grandmother) is Japanese. But yh obviously I love japan and would like more Japanese in my children whenever I get a person to share a family with.

  39997. To be fair, polyglot does not mean to be fluent in many languages. It actually seems to be a pretty poorly defined word. What exactly is "knowledge of several languages"? Also you don't learn language by learning grammar, and the science really backs that up. I don't know about other Americans, but I wasn't taught grammar until I was 14.

  39998. Keep it up ...

  40028. @ 1:28 min. did any one else also get a creepy vibe of that " I'm a filmmaker" guy?, cuz my sister-in-law who is Caucasian, was vacationing with her friends in Japan during her college days and was met by also a middle aged Japanese man who introduced himself as a 'filmmaker'. Needles to say, the conversation quickly went south when he eventually asked if any of them were actors and finally disclosed the fact that he was in the adult filmmaking business.

  40041. Great video as usual. I appreciated the advice on language learning. I've been trying to learn Spanish, but finding it difficult being in an area where not much Spanish is spoken. On another topic I'm interested in learning how you make your videos and I was wondering if maybe you talked about this in one of your earlier videos. If so, which one? If not, it would be great if you could get a friend to record a short segment showing you recording yourself. I'm always amazed they you can walk around presumebly holding a camera mounted on some sort of stick and somehow record stable images that don't bounce around all over the place. It must be hard to hold hold the camera apparatus for long periods of time.

  40090. Hate comments are reflections of people's own insecurities, hate is a weakness a form of fear, consuming insecure weak people's minds that are mislead into thinking bringing people down is bringing themselves up, while the opposite is true. You can also call it jealousy because that's what it is, they hate other people's success ! They would only like you if you were as miserable as them so never take them seriously, just feel sorry for them because it's a disease.

  40091. You look like an absolute princess!!🥰 Tommy looks so handsome too! I loved the look he gave you when he saw you all dressed in your gown..it made me cry!! 💜💜 I'm so sad your family could not be there, but so thankful you had his family, your friends and video to share with all of us! ❤❤ When I got married my family could not make the trip to Alaska..I got married in a court house on my lunch break from work😄..but I have been married 22 years and we have 5 kids together.

  40098. Love your content. I have a basic question I hope you can answer because I admire your learning approach and results. There is this major trend about "only acquire the language, dont study, dont force drills, don't output early. Just take in input, chill and wait till you can speak". Of course I see the logic of getting in quality input you enjoy and comprehend, but i think that advice is going too far. I gather, you did a lot of your Chinese learning the old school way of studying, reviewing, drilling then trying to speak. What is your take? Do you think a lot of this trend of "just immerse in good input for some years and don't "study", just "acquire it" is largely b.s.? I think good old-fashioned drills and efforts to memorize etc is still more effective than "just acquire".😀

  40099. I was bashing my head around this decision - sharehouse vs apartment. Everyone kept saying privacy is #1, and personal bathroom is a must, but I kept saying I don't wanna be alone in a foreign country. Your story confirms it's a good choice, but then again, your assertiveness is unrivaled. :D I guess I should hunt for sharehouses when borders open :D

  40101. In the United States, it’s considered LUCKY if it rains on your wedding day. It’s considered a blessing. Interestingly it mostly rained during the western part of the day. you could see the genuine love and connection between both of you. Thank you for sharing it with us! A thousand blessings to you both.

  40103. Listening to music was the first thing that popped into my head before you even mentioned it! Hah... it helped me with Spanish so much, and yes Pimsleur was helpful too.

  40121. People say we have accents in Michigan, I don't hear it. P.S. perhaps after that you could have searched for a Trader Jo in Nagoya?
    1
  40122.  @OrientalPearl  Aw I actually researched that joke and thought you'd notice. The castles you mentioned all end in "jo"..Trader Joe's is a store in Michigan....nevermind lol. Yeah we used to go to the Keewenaw on Big Traverse Bay every summer. We felt like city folk for sure up there.

  40130. お地蔵さんの中には(inside じゃなくて、some お地蔵さん)塩嘗地蔵とか塩に纏わる名称のつくものが各地にあります。詳しくはわかりませんが、昔はその場所で塩の交易が行われていたとか塩を運ぶ道があったとかそういった由来があるのではないでしょうか。あんまりいい加減なことは言えませんけど。とにかく日本では塩というのは相当昔から主要な食材、調味料で生活の一部でしたし、神事や冠婚葬祭でも用いられた特別なもので、塩に関係するお地蔵さんはあちこちにあります。

  40143. so the secret to lose your euro accent is to learn Japanese? why aren't Hollywood stars using this technique? xD
    1
  40144. What do you have to do to study abroad? Do you have to be able to speak a little bit of the language? I want to study in Japan in the future.
    1
  40145. I think that Japan in at least one place, maybe a city, collects its kitchen organic waste, but I can't find much online about where it happens. If I remember right, the organics is bagged at home and then the home takes it to a local roadside bin.
    1
  40146. love the epic motivational speeches on learning new language(s)... it's sad during covid people would rather watch netflix and play video games than picking up a new language and/or learning new skills that can have more lasting benefits
    1
  40147. Couldn't believe what the video was about for the first 30 second Lisa's really awesome🌟, undoubtedly, even by...them. Keep on looking forward Anming, you've been so wonderful ✨

  40159. That was hilarious!
    1
  40160. You are pretty.
    1
  40161. I think the problem with these polyglot videos is that they don’t really know the language fluently and they only repeat the same sentence “I love your country I can’t wait to visit, insert food that I’ve always wanted to try” so it’s a bit misleading saying they speak the language. I only feel comfortable saying I speak a language when I know if I’m lost I can ask for help or have a longer conversation for more than an hour
    1
  40162. U guy's are rlly cute together bruh
    1
  40163. You are amazing!
    1
  40164. I've been craving Chinese food for awhile now but am almost embarrassed to call it that... it's probably not even close to authentic. What did you like when you were back home if anything?
    1
  40165. Is the music from the Akira soundtrack?

  40166. Fun video. Also, congratulations on the success of your channel - it's amazing how much it's grown.

  40170. Thanks for sharing your work day with us. I enjoyed this look into Japanese business culture. Please keep your hopes up as YT watchers are fickle and sub numbers go up and down. I thought you and R2D2 at the mall was a cool change of pace for the channel. Also love videos about you and Tommy, relationships are difficult no matter the circumstances. You guys have such a sweet and loving vibe. ❤️❤️❤️

  40171. new sub. This made my day!!

  40172. Believe me you’re much safer where you are then here in the US! China and South Korea had it way under control way fast here we have shelter in place and only a few states there’s no testing at all you cannot isolate when you don’t have testing.... and the imbecile in the White House is thinking of getting out of shelter in place.... despite all the surrounding medical staff advising him otherwise.... unless you’re a celebrity have a lot of money Or aged with other health issues n dying, criteria for testimg is not happening

  40173. I think you are atama ga ii desu...

  40174. I appreciate you, calling out those new york kids. only in it for the spectacle and to show off (all the while feigning humility). Thus their interactions are always superficial. I mean what to expect from some man babies who grew up in a place like nyc, cant be too hard on them I guess heh heh. Meanwhile you are so warm and friendly, you're not just in it for the youtube shock value. You actually care about meeting the people, having an authentic engagement with them, and clearly care about your viewers as well, always offering encouragement to do as you do, whether its learning the languages or just being more friendly and fearless. Oriental Pearl indeed, keep shining.

  40184. Hey Katie I think the loophole is to pick both. One side don't care and won't ask. And you pick the one that cares you to choose. At least that's what I hope my kids will be able to do. My kids are half. And I would have a ton of questions for you about school. And being different at school. Cheers

  40192. I’m going on a school trip to Japan in about 1 and a half years. Trying to get as good as I can before then. The hardest part for me is motivation and knowing where to begin. I want to study outside of the classroom but there is so much!!

  40218. Are the egg tarts that you are discussing the famous Macao Portuguese style tarts? I didn't realize they were really available anywhere but Macao and Portugal. I've had them in Macao, but would never have thought to look for them in Japan. Then again it never really occurred to me that there was Chinese area's of Japanese cities. Language opens ones world view greatly. Thanks for an enjoyable excursion.

  40220. Very kind person in the station. Thanks yet again!

  40221. @1:28 - I am not surprised that the lady grabbed your arm - this is generally taboo in Asian cultures. But as I said before, Chinese women can be very forward and bold if you catch their interest. It's clear that they were thrilled to find a Westerner speaking their language.

  40222. Sure they Halloween costumes some off them passing by should be for bedroom lovely video once again

  40224. Katie definitely looks like a mixed Asian girl! Her features are similar to Japanese, except the shape of her face, which probably resembles her father side, as it's more oblong than the classic square/angular Japanese bone structure.

  40225. Maybe not the most appropriate clothes for walking the mountain but they do look lovely on you. You look just darling in white. What made you leave Michigan to travel abroad?

  40243. Look, I'm a polyglot and years go I was dazzled by these 8, 9, 10, even 21 language speakers, but once I realized that they were using ALWAYS the same speech for each language. No, man! Everyone has their own "easier" and their "most difficult" languages. It took me years to have a good ear for german while in italian it clicked in immediatedly. The same for french and portuguese, respectively, etc... Possibly there are a few who really can achieve this expertise in so many languages, but I believe that most of them in Youtube DON'T.

  40247. Your videos are amazing, and you are extremely talented being able to learn so many new languages. What would your recommendation be for the best learning app or site? I see that in some languages you recommend Pimsleur and Asian languages you have a different site listed. I would like to learn French.
    1
  40248. I think it's ok to do it just for the experience Anming, but from medical perspective, you should never clean your ears.

  40249. Looks like Yokohama is around 30-40 minutes or so from Tokyo Station. I'm still hesitant to roam around outside but it looks like an interesting place to explore..for now I'll live vicariously through your videos!

Maybe, may you can talk in other video about the experience in study in a japanese university, how you get in, the aplication way and more things about this. Was amazing video. Thanks a lot for such great content.

  40263. $2,000? Man, the most I've been bribed by a parent is a box of peaches :( What's your secret? Edit: Also, what's your take on teaching in Korea? How is the salary compared to Japan?
    1
  40264.  @OrientalPearl  yes especially teaching private lessons in China could make a lot of money. But the highest paying English teaching job is actually SAT exam oriented. You can speak Chinese and explain to students, boom! You can easily take home $8000 -$10000 a month. But that's a bit boring compared to teaching younger kids because you have to face some grown-up kids.

  40271. Pimsleur is the best (just finished Japanese Unit 1)! It's nice to hear someone at your skill level recommend it! Here's what I'm currently using: Pimsleur (speaking/pronunciation practice) Japanese From Zero (It's well structured, but doesn't feel like a "textbook", so it's easy to get through) WaniKani (Kanji/vocab with built-in SRS. By the time you finish it, you will know over 1500 kanji and 6000 vocab words) Kanji Study (Kanji stroke order) Satori Reader (Reading/listening practice, plus it syncs with WaniKani to update kanji you've learned) Anki ConversationExchange/InterPals (for finding language partners)

  40272. Interesting video! Did you learn Mandarin before going to China?

  40273. I'm so jealous. I barely retained any of the Cantonese my parents tried to teach me and my Mandarin is even worse.

  40292. Ha! you’re such a fun teacher. It really shows that you have fun doing it. I wouldn’t last long in a hostel though but since our situations would be different, me going on a holiday rather than being an expat I’d prefer a hotel. However I would be very happy to stay in China or Japan and work but i don’t speak a word of Chinese or Japanese.

  40296. I never laughed so much as I did in a while by watching your videos. I don't know your name Oriental Pearl but wow, you are very cheerful! I had a visit to Japan in last DEC 2019, I managed by with my poor Japanese and good english (I speak 4 languages in total) that even the Ryokan ladies were impressed by my Japanese, omg Japanese people are so polite and respectful, I loved every moment in my life over there in Japan, I spent christmas time there until new year, I partied the new year in Osaka universal studios, really enjoyed the one piece performance in the stage! \o/

  40303. Hi Anming, your video production & quality is getting better & better! Loved that first soundtrack on this video. 👍 So you're learning Korean now, the third of the "Big 3" East Asian languages. Heard that the grammar structure is similar to Japanese (given both languages) & that some words have similar sounds too. Korean also has its historical roots going back to Chinese too. So all linguistic roads lead to China then. 😜
    1
  40304. Excellent advice. Never click on any unknown link. Enjoyed your videos and words of warning. Many sharks out there makes one justifiably paranoid.

  40305. Hi. I am from Singapore n had 2 previous marriages with Japanese. I am in aw because I am struggling with my mandarin n hopeless in Japanese. In fact I speak English n Minoan more than c=mandarin and Japanese. I had to be sent to Shanghai ‘S Dong Hua da Xue to learn some Chinese. Really envy your ability to be multi lingual!

  40306. Congratulations.

  40307. Anming. Hope you're doing well. First of all. How cool is that Chinatown? Very cool. And it's always nice to see the Chinese people's reaction when you speak in their language. By the way. I'm a flavoured sparkling water fan as well. Really hits the spot on a hot day. Take it easy.

  40315. Interesting. The girl at 0.33 is dressed as...Becky Sharpe? From "Tom Sawyer". I wonder if this is a thing in Japan. My wife and I encountered someone dressed similarly on the train from Tokyo to Nikko, in 1975. It was a guy.

  40316. That was a really cool video and great insight to something I haven’t really thought much about while being an anime fan from the U.S. (one day I’ll catch up on One piece I’m on like episode 700 😂). It’s amazing to see people that actually love doing what they like for a living even if it wasn’t the easiest path. Thanks for sharing this with the world and good luck with your YouTube endeavors. ✌️

  40317. Nothing where you are from is exotic, or interesting no matter how exotic and interesting it is and really simple and mundane things in other countries are exciting. It is a function of familiarity and prof of how humans judge everything subjectively.

  40319. I only know 4 languages (English/Viet/Spanish/Japanese)...Chinese isn't one of them. I'm 1/4 chinese since my grandpa was from China but he didn't pass it down. The schools in California only had French and Spanish in the 90's. Wished they had Japanese and Chinese languages too.

  40324. Also, do you think I’m right in spotting that you have a slight Chinese accent when you say the word Tokyo? I had a double take when you said it whilst crossing the road in the video. You looked great in the suit by the way!

  40340. Loved this video. From my pov, it reflects the idea I have about japan. Not the "japan" we are used to see around tokyo and comedy shows. But a Japan as pictured in Miasaki's movies. One day I'll travel to/through Japan, and I plan to visit the countryside, go to some Onsens and mount Fuji, so many nice things to see in such a beautiful country. Of course Akihabara is a must stop, but if someone focuses only on that, you're gona be missing alot. I'm just so afraid of going without knowing almost any Japanese.

  40345. Agree that learning a new language is hard! Even growing up in a mexican household and learning spanish I thought I was pretty fluent. I didn't study it but this is all just base in the household learning. When traveling to mexico sure i commute and such but it still wasn't as good. You can tell I'm not native when talking. I still have much to learn. You can never stop learning.

  40357. Looked like lots of fun! Very interesting insights. The dual citizenship question intrigues me the most. When I became an American citizen many thousands of years ago, I was informed that such a thing was not possible. Yet, I see it occurring more and more these days. Japan may want to adhere to many traditions but America likes to make up rules that aren't universally held. It's quite stupid and very ignorant/arrogant. There are many, many times I've wanted to just go home for visit and the processes at the time were difficult at the very least to accomplish that wish. Now, I'm old and poor enough to forsake that dream. Ah, well. Such is life in America. Cool video. Thank you so much for sharing!

  40360. The authenticity is what makes me keep watching. Its different. I saw some of your language surprise videos (dont know exactly what to call them) and I kinda was afraid that you would pursue that trend. Even though it probably scores very well, I do like your own perspective of things. To me that’s really interesting.

  40362. Is Primseulr better than Rosetta stone? I am learning Japanese through my online college and the use Rosetta stone as a way to teach. But honestly I learn more from the teach through the lesson, even though I still have to use rosetta stone. This is my last week in school and they do not have a level two in Japanese in my school just the intro that I am taking now. I want to continue my studies in Japanese and wish to use another app along with the self study books I brought. Thank you, for a great video!

  40367. I studied abroad in Japan for 1 year, I felt my writing and speaking improve in class but outside of class was always the real test. At that time I knew my speaking also got better but my listening abilities were TRASH, especially in loud places like izakaya and bars. I think though now looking back, it's not that I didn't understand because I was bad, but rather that I was not trying to really hear what they were saying. If I didn't understand a word I would get hung up on not understanding a word rather than trying to figure out the rest of the sentence. Basically I was too nervous and anxious to really let myself improve. Always remember that your mind set is most of what helps you learn a language!! Nowadays when I speak to Japanese friends I am under a lot less pressure to have perfect Japanese and instead improve what I already have, rather than worry about that which I don't have.

Have multiple experience that this is true old people do like to chat and it breaks my heart when u find em all alone shopping/going to hospitals/ riding bus. Back in the day when i was a kid going in and out of Japan people greet each other on the street for no reason too bad it gradually stopped everytime i visit japan. so i guess old people do miss those days You are amazing this is a very nice video

  40377. Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi I love your videos and I think a lot of people are interested to know how to learn Chinese ? Do you have any books you recommend from beginner and other levels please. And for practise as well what do you recommend it quite popular to take book with a teacher on Skype or other media to practise . What do you think? Can you please recommend some application to practise and also books for vocabulary . I hope you will make a video about that. I'm so happy to see people like you. You are not exceptional you are an example to prove that you can from any country and be able to talk perfectly. I'm agree with you politics are politics if we all judge people by their origins or jobs. I think everyone will be bad to each others. That not good we must live together work together help together love each others because even your worst enemy one day can be the person will help you . That the way I think. There are no enemy if everyone work as a team over the world. Take care. Stay safe Thank you again for all amazing videos :)

  40387. I really enjoy watching the sweet interactions between the elders and the new generation. So wholesome. You're an exceptional person to learn, ingratiate and immerse yourself into a foreign culture. You do so with grace, ease and aplomb. I recently watched the HATE video you uploaded with the incredible guitarist and it really broke my heart. I never thought about it before and felt so sad that a sweet person like you would have to endure so much vitriol. You genuinely are doing something noble and I commend you for staying strong yet humble. There's a reason so much jealousy is targeted at you, they're threatened and frankly bullies. God bless you and your fiance', and the sweet in-laws. LET'S ALL HAVE THE BEST YEAR WE'VE EVER HAD, A YEAR TO LOOK BACK ON WITH FONDNESS.

  40400. We got free food in more than one place just because I was able to read and use extremely basic Japanese off of restaurant menus in Japan. A grandma running a beer shop even gave me free beer after I stood and worked out what a sign in her shop said by reading the kanji and kana out loud (painfully slowly). Didn't even realise she was watching me. It's amazing how appreciative the Chinese and Japanese are when you make even the slightest effort to learn their language when in the western world we expect everyone to speak English perfectly and often mock them when they can't.

  40404. Just my ten cents... unless we have some sort of impediment, nobody is going to pay us compliments us on how well we speak our native language. We don't get to feel 'puffed up' about it. It can even be (in English at least) a problem, being perceived as too 'lah de dah' or academic or perfectionist to speak much it better than the average person. So consciously or not we tend to 'dumb-down' a little. Does that happen in Japanese too? Secondly, as native speakers we tend to pick up our language informally, so we learn to speak a certain way but can't put our finger on why. On many occasions my (Chinese) wife quoted to me rules of English grammar of which I was unaware. I thought I knew what sounded right, but of course I would make mistakes, and she pounced. With her MA in English from a Chinese university her English was in academic terms better than mine..
    1
  40405. We went to Nara and there was a beer festival. We were mainding our own business in the table and speaking Spanish, and there was an elderly couple, the elderly guy came and ask where we are from. It was quite surprising because my brother looks more ambiguous at that time with his long beard. I think they are curious but try to be casual about it.

  40414. Everyone over estimates the amount of a language that they speak. Exactly "the fluency illusion" A lot of people take a bunch of begginners lessons in college and swear they can speak multiple languages. Only like 1% of people are polyglots. Its a really hard thing to get fluent in 1 language let alone 6. To be able to travel and get around is not fluency. Its a great skill but not at the polyglot level. Far too many people exaggerate.

  40434. My brother is 10 years older than me and was in the Air Force. He married a Korean so my new sister in law taught me some words when I was 10. Later I went to Korea for a year in the Air Force two and took my kids. naneun migug-in ssangdung-i appaibnida is what I would say to Koreans. Even after all that, I only know about 100 Korean words and was so worried about grammar that I just used one word sentences. You on the other hand are amazing. My next assignment was Okinawa, Japan where my Japanese was only 20 words.

  40452. Ive been there and still am. I'm learning some Chinese as well and when ppl are talking about me saying "this guy wouldn't understand us"; they get shocked when i answer them and they apologize and some treat me food as an apology. It's cute though. Nihao, Goi sai, Xi Xie😁👍

  40455. Your videos are fun. I decided to learn Japanese for personal enrichment and as brain exercise, but I'm starting to think I was crazy to do it! Spanish would've been so much easier! 🤣🤣 Haha! But I'm learning a lot about Japanese culture and every day life from you! I love your videos and YouTube keeps suggesting you constantly so today I finally subscribed!🤣🤣🤣

  40460. Wow I’m impressed.

  40461. Totally fine if you say "thank you". Actually it sounds a little bit not sincere when you say "没有没有 还可以” so fluently...

  40465. First time i heard of bubble tea is when I first saw your videos. Whats in it beside tea? Looks like some kinda of cream and looks like blueberrys in the bottom? lol
    1
  40466. This video was amazing to watch so thank you for putting in all the work! ❤️ Can I make a suggestion for the next video you premiere? I think you should reduce the time you wait for the premiere to be released a little maybe to a day/day and a half instead as I think it helps with view counts when the wait is a bit shorter (at least from what I’ve noticed with other channels). Feel free to tell me to go some place though as I still think the views will be great on this and at the end of the day, they shouldn’t be the most important thing :) This is edited and recorded/scripted beautifully. Love this channel!

  40469. Going back to The D! That is sure to be some culture shock for you both. I hope you do a video about what it's like visiting after being gone for so long and how things have changed/stayed the same, etc. Have fun! My husband and I had a blast last time he took me to his old stomping grounds in Detroit. We ate Bengalese food probably 3 times in just a few days. Saw lots of amazing art.
    1
  40470. Awesome! Very happy for you! 🙏💙❤
    1
  40471. If I watch any more of this beyond the part where I just heard you speaking perfect Chinese as well like I'm going to start crushing on you really hard and wow just wow.. God I feel like I sound like I'm in high school saying that but I'm 37 and it's kind of embarrassing for me to say this publicly but wow you are all that and a bag of chips. You are so gorgeous that words cannot describe a goddess such as yourself, you seem to have a wonderful mind with high intelligence, and you live in the one place I've dreamed of my entire life and instead extenuating circumstances have me sitting here watching you right now wishing I had made a left turn at Albuquerque and didn't care so much about family, as I'm sitting here taking care of my mother at the sacrifice of anything i could be doing for myself all because of a promise that I made her when I was younger that I would always take care of her and never put her in a home. She's 72 and normally she can take care of herself to some degree but she's a 50's housewife style of person and when my father passed away she needed someone to do everything for her because she was too old and country simple to even learn how to do her bills in the math involved in paying them since she's from another time.. and I couldn't just leave her when I got divorced and move away, so I'm trying to be the Sun that I promised I would be and I sort of owe it to her anyway from all the hell I gave her preventing her from remarrying because I was an intelligent rebel that was good at causing trouble when I was young... I wish you the best because an amazing person such as yourself deserves nothing less!

  40479. It seems to me that interaction between people is quite normal. Is there currently no concern about "distancing" between people like what is going on here in the US? We are pretty much on lock down except to go to the grocery, drug stores. Didn't know that holding hands, arms was a Chinese thing. I learned something because of your channel. Thanks!

  40484. i cant stop giggling XD
    1
  40485. Yeah, my wife's friends give me more over-top reactions whenever I speak some really badly accented Chinese. Usually I get more honest reactions when I interrupt their conversations with English that demonstrates I knew exactly what they were talking about. Although, the funniest reaction I got was when I first got to Taiwan and knew almost no Chinese. My roommate and her friend were going on in Chinese and my roommate said "shower" in English instead of Chinese in the sentence. So I knew the she was going to take a shower. I can't remember exactly how it played out (near 30 years ago) but I said something like OK, take you're shower and we'll get going. Her friend flipped out and thought I spoke Chinese and my roommate had to explain they had been sprinkling lots of English words into their conversation the whole time.

  40486. This was wholesome. I’m from Wisconsin and so many places look the same, especially the heavy German influence.

  40505. Congrats Amning! Hey I have a question, and maybe it would be a good idea for a future video, but what is your experience with foreigners having tattoos while living in Japan? I'm highly considering moving to Japan eventually but I have tattoos and am concerned about work opportunities. Particularly concerned about my hand and finger tattoos. There's always tattoo laser removal but that's last resort. Hoping you can shed some light and wisdom on this!
    1
  40506. Very interesting insights! After watching your other video on your accent, now I can't stop picking up when you say "hafta" 🤣! 90% not subscribed, that's so weird, but seems to be the case on so many good channels, I wonder why.
    1
  40507. 不要在意那个中年男人 他估计当天比较紧张 还有 让我这个土生土长的中国人感到有些羞愧的是 你和你的室友们身处中文的聊天环境 但只有你那么健谈 在带动气氛 这可是我们的母语啊 应该他们几个多说些的 他们可能还有有些害羞对着镜头 不太能放开 其实完全没必要 这一点日本人好像做的比我们好些 他们更健谈一些 其实应该所有人都健谈才对

  40510. Hi Anming. We had rickshaws here in South Africa when I was a kid. Massive heavy costumes, they did elaborate jumps and dive moves omg! I think they were outlawed or something. Will ask my mom. Will try and find some pics for you. Good to know it's still alive somewhere.

  40511. You’ll super cute! 👀

  40514. I feel bad for you hearing those harsh words. I love your channel and it inspires me to learn new languages.
    1
  40515. Wow Interesting! When you speak Chinese, the tone of your voice changes! Somehow I can understand why Chinese voice is high tone! When I listen to it, I can tell the difference between the four levels of sound! I can't speak Chinese but it's very funny and interesting! It's just like the difference in the tone of my voice when I speak English and Japanese. :))

  40521. The bag I hate is the bag used by Japanese elementary school students. Elementary school students are more interested in features than they look because they can easily carry around textbooks. Of course they have choices.

  40523. I was shocked to hear all those nasty comments - it's not like it's even constructive criticism. I think these people hate themselves more than you, they sound so angry and bitter
    1
  40524. It’s so cool they watch your videos and they interact with you I need to study Chinese or Japan because I think it would be cool to shock them like you do in your videos
    1
  40525. Wow you are amazing 😱😱😱

  40526. You need to change the whole format of your website and call it the “ Tommy and Pearl show” . You guys are hysterical….Do this, and your world is your oyster. ❤️

  40527. Great Documentary video, nice to see you doing a more traditional documentary style segment.

  40528. You guys are so cool. Mucho respect. Thank you for the vlog. Well done Anming. I’ve been climbing up and down scaffolding all day, fixing the house. I’ve barley spoken my own language (which I’m sure I know less about than any of your second languages). Keep up the great content.
    1
  40529. Been watching for a while. Just amazing thank you for showing these worlds.
    1
  40530. Your videos are really a fantasy for me that one day I could learn any other languages so well that I could connect with people like you do. I'd similarly watch someone playing an amazing guitar solo. Seeing people excel at all kinds of things gives me a glimmer of hope for myself, and maybe I'm not alone!

  40535. I wanted to say I love your content and am amazed by others who take the time to learn another language. It shows a genuine respect for other cultures and other people. I'm eager to learn other languages. I'm fascinated by everything Japanese, and so I figured learning Japanese made sense. Now I'm thinking about the number of people who speak Mandarin/Cantonese or Hindi/Punjabi/Urdu, etc. I've done very little travelling in my life. The main thing that prevents it is money, but an inability to speak the native language is a very close second. I can't fathom traveling without knowing the mother language of whatever country or region I was going to. I find it mind-blowing that people travel without a willingness or curiousity to learn. Keep up the good work and keep making videos. They're the fuel I need to learn other languages. Life is too short to limit ourselves to so few experiences. It's also too short to worry about what trolls think of us. Arigatōgozaimashita

  40537. damn language learning really is impossible for introverts lol time to change old habits

  40538. Lots of rich kids are little bit spoiled. Had been the same place as you were. You must establish some authority , or they just won't be serious with you, I could not do it either , so I quit it. But kids are adorable, wonderful , full of creativity, enjoy teaching them and sometimes get frustrated.

  40539. congrats, and good luck.

  40540. No 1 danger if you want to do language videos: weight gain. No 2 danger: running out of money. Nr 3 danger: filling your room with so many knick knacks and cheap clothes and stuff that you dont have enough space left to sleep anymore... LOL!

  40560. Watching Harald Baldr when he used to vlog from Thailand was always good fun. His unexpected command of spoken Thai always took the locals by surprise - just amazing how their entire reaction to him changed instantly. Language is important. One of my great regrets in life (and I have a few) is not having learned a SE Asian language. Quite honestly, as a white western guy, if I had done so at an early age my career prospects would have been unlimited. Don't be like me: if you're N. American or European - learn Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc. Doors will be opened and the opportunities are very great, indeed.

  40571. Hey Anming. Hope you're doing well. What an interesting vid this was. Learning about a typical day for a rickshaw worker. It was cool what Rickshaw Gump attempted to do. Too bad it was cut short because of the "You know what" virus. And what a nice collection of rickshaws. Cool to see women getting into rickshaws too. And what were you guys eating with the beer? Take it easy :-)

  40580. Found you be accident.....commented in the previous video.......just wanted to mention again how talented you are!.......very difficult languages!....and yes I did subscribe!....looking forward to more cool adventures!

  40581. I watch your videos for the Japanese 😅 you speak Japanese in a way that I can pin point the words faster. Maybe cause you speak slower than my teacher 😅 She speaks Japanese fast unless I ask her kindly to slow down. It's very interesting learning how you learned chinese and Japanese and I fully agree learning one language at a time fully. I dance traditional Japanese dance where I'm from and there are a few Japanese people who speak only Japanese. I'm trying to be fluent but it's difficult when I'm primarily in an English speaking environment. Thank you for your video and advice it's very much appreciated 😊🌸
    1
  40582. 谢谢你。 你说中国话好流利呀。恭喜恭喜.

  40583. I saw you were using an erasable pen made in Japan, and I think it is a good product which I bought 12 colors pack. I will try the app HelloTalk to see whether I can find a girlfriend there, lol. It seems that you not only efficiently use commuting time to learn a foreign language but also even make videos. High-level player-_-!

  40587. Anming I love all of your videos, I've been studying Japanese for near 5 years, but I'm nowhere near fluent. I try and practice everyday, but Living in a small Southern California Town, there isn't much of anyone to practice with. Recently, because of you (And the memes going around about "Yi Jian Mei") I might even want to learn chinese too. Japanese is my main priority though. My Dream is to live in the Tokyo Suburbs, I love the aesthetic of it. Just working a normal job in a restaurant or something, as I love cooking. It makes me happy to see people just walking around the Tokyo Area and enjoying the beauty. At the beginning of the video when you said you were going to go out and see how many people you can make smile, it made me so happy. I wish I could be doing that. It sounds like the dream <3

  40589. I'm not sure if I've seen any of these type of people on Youtube but I'm not surprised that they exist. Ad revenue and sponsors bring out the worst people on Youtube. As long as Japanese Ammo with Misa isn't one of those people I'm alright.

  40598. Wow teacher was really sweet.

  40599. I have noticed how often people say "It is amazing" in your videos. As the same time, calling things "amazing", overusing the term in American is also common now as well. Everything and everyone is now "amazing" to many.

  40606. One thing I learned from some British people: if you are in someone's presence, you should usually refer to them by their name instead of "he/she/they" when speaking about them. I think it makes sense. Don't know if it's like that in Japan?
    1
  40607. I miss Japan! I used to go there twice a year with my partner, but because of covid19 , my country is still in a locked down state. We call it CB which stand for ‘ circuit breaker’, everything is closed, even our own private condo facilities like swimming pool and gym are not allowed to be used, and everyone must don a face mask when we go outside.

  40617. Some people usually called us racist because of this. But I just wanna say.. no, we're not racist. It's just pure curiosity, we're not insulting or cursing people because of their race. We just thought that it's amazing how different they're from us. My grandma even thought that all the people in the world were born with black hair, so when she met a Caucasian she said "Why did you dye your hair?" XD

  40646. I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.

  40684. LMAO "You ready to die?!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  40685. I get what you mean.....it can be really annoying when someone keeps pointing out that your chinese is good almost everyday, but the truth is most Chinese know that the language is hard to learn and thus their suprised reaction...I guess it's all done in good faith and although it's annoying, the best way is just to accept it as it is.

  40686. Seems like business as usual with so many people still out and about

  40693. Hi sweet How are you? What is about the price per hour that you collect for class in English and cchinese too?
    1
  40694. I think most YouTube videos are snapshots of a larger picture eg cooking, DIY videos. most reasonable people don’t expect to do what they see as quickly or as proficiently without lots of practice. nevertheless people with a natural ability in languages are generally able to learn the basic concepts quite rapidly. even if they have not yet reached an advanced level their natural ability allows them to learn a language at a much more rapid pace than the average learner. so whether the video shows them speaking on a very basic level or not it is a snapshot or showcase of their natural ability. people watching can also judge the reaction of their audience to see whether or not or how well they’re able to converse after just a short time of study. some people are just gifted in say math, music, etc.

  40696. When I went to China for business, I was planned to be in and around Shanghai. So I learned a bit of Mandarin so I would not be totally clueless. I think it was helpful even if my Mandarin sucked, ha. For my last week though I went to a different plant that was in a different region, and they spoke...Hakka. I just had to look that up actually ha. Needless to say, I was totally lost. In the USA, if you know English, you can communicate anywhere. Sure, there are differences, but not enough so to not be English. China though, a lot more complicated.
    1
  40697. I naturally use 2 languages when I was a kid. One for talking with my friends, one for school activities. Then learn English because I worked for american company and have many meetings with colleagues from other countries. Now, I try to learn Chinese, but memorizing new vocabularies are not that easy.

  40698. Looks like a lot of (mainland) Chinese people in Yokohama Chinatown.

  40731. Things aren't so bad here in Norway either. The government reacted resolutely just within the nick of time. 8 weeks of home office, social distancing etc and we're down from 300 simultaneous hospitalizations to 28 today. Now we've been opening society more and more the last 4 weeks and somehow the virus is still on the decline. Most haven't really been affected that hard at all except for home office. Personally I won the lottery ticket in bad luck. Entry bans were implemented 6 days before my wife's flight to come and live with me. We haven't seen each other in half a year due to corona and now we might have to wait for another year.

  40740. I have always found polyglot channels and viral videos to be obnoxious. I would rather watch langfocus any day of the week. I have personally never been partial to sensationalized moments, child prodigies, etc. Videos of talented kids? Inspiring. Videos of random conversations with strangers? In their own language? Inspiring! And humbling even when not super fluent, but we can leave the big claims out of it, right? This video was a guilty pleasure of mine to watch, but I was also worried that it would just be intellectual gatekeeping...like "neeeh these people aren't true polyglots" and it raises the question to me, how important are and WHAT are the definitions of polyglot, and terms like polymath. And what should the parameters be. To me they are just anachronistic expressions. Or rather, "intellectual terms of honour" we'll say. That is why milking the term polyglot online, for views, while glossing over mistakes and awkwardness, and covering it up with the vibe of "social experiment" , is so dang unappealing to me. And why I clicked on this video. Polyglot does literally mean "many languages/tongues". Does it really specify fluency? I am a lover of languages and would love to be a polyglot. I am bilingual. I am more of an amateur linguist than amateur polyglot, and I can't even call myself that because I feel it's not respectful of other people's time and money investment. And I think with linguistics, like math, it is easier to have valuable ideas as an amateur. I would point to Grimm's law as a good example. Basically, I think we shouldn't take the word polyglot, and like terms, seriously. I think this video does a pretty good job of saying that without attacking people or disparaging people for using "intellectual words of honour" a bit too loosely, and even for profit. It's just upsetting when they're making enough bank to pay for your education a few times over lol.
    1
  40741. Yeah, i really don't understand the whole "narcissist" commentary... If you are a foreigner, living in another country than yours, and get to speak even a little of the local language, people will be "shocked" in a positive way, because, hey, it's not that common... I'm french, i lived in the US, started learning english in France when i was 5, speak english with no french accent (apart from Americans telling me "Are you from Canada?" and Canadians telling me "Hey, what part of the US are you from? 😄😄). I lived 4 years in Japan and speak a low/medium level japanese (enough to get by for daily stuff)... I also lived in Brazil and speak a little portuguese and spanish... The thing is, i love to speak the language spoken where i'm at, and it's fun and nice to see people reacting positively to it. When i look at Xiaoma's videos, for instance, or your videos (Anming 😄) i see people truly enjoying the act of communication. When i see Xiaoma speaking African languages (like he's doing now) i don't see a guy trying to show off or impress anyone... I'm just seeing him sharing his love of the "magic of languages" and all that goes with "positive communication"... I've never seen a person react to him like "Oh no, white boy, you get the hell out of MY language and culture". On the contrary, people are actually truly happy to see someone that took the time to come TO them, through their language... 🤔 I am always very wary of people who come to challenge and criticize other people's virtues... their motives are seldom innocent.

  40742. I know how to speak Japanese but I'm from philipines.

  40743. What you mentioned here, can be solved and learned by having Japanese friends and learning from them or by literally going to Japan and staying there for a few weeks, BUT! first knowing and having an understanding of Japanese language. I learned the whole "ehhh" and "ano" with my Japanese friends back in my college years, back in early 2000's, when I was finishing up my computer animation courses and taking Japanese all at the same time. LOL! One thing for sure! every language has it's odd ball usage in their culture. For example, in Spanish it is natural to say "bueno...." (literal translation: good) to use when you are thinking about what to say next. In fact! it is weird if you don't hear a Spanish speaker say, "bueno....(opinion)" when they are talking or are thinking about something. That's how, I myself, take "ano" and "eh" to mean too, it is a "fill in" phrase to help someone think about what to say next. About the direct part! I am a pretty neutral shy person, I like to personally be like that when it comes to both my Spanish and English usage of both languages. I'll share a story, I am currently taking Japanese courses: COVID19 has made them all online for now, and I remember introducing myself and then saying what I did during the weekend: which is watching horror movies. The instructor was surprised and said "how amazing it was that I enjoy really scary movies, and that she doesn't like them." Myself, being shy about it just said, " nandemonai" . She laughed, and said that I was modest. XD I was trying to make her feel better that she didn't enjoyed scary movies, and trying to say that what I enjoy is nothing special. Honestly, I don't like, by nature, make people feel bad. XD lol

  40747. Wow that is really nice! My mother tongue is hmong but I am bad at both English and hmong so I ended up speaking hmonglish. I can switch to hmong if I am speaking to the elderly who doesn't know English but it is difficult. I only know the easy words in hmong lol. I learned Japanese in high school but all of that went to waste since I don't know who to speak to in Japanese. So now I can only understand a bit of what they are saying but I can't speak back as much, whenever I go visit. I only learn simple Chinese words by watching dramas but I wouldn't know much of what they are saying lol. The same goes for Korean. I will end up mixing the languages together in a sentence if I learn them completely. 😅

  40769. Dear Anming, where ever you go you create a safe environment around you. Your care and love for life be noted. Can you comment about it, can you tell some spiritual ideas of yours? (If it is safe to write about it on youtube). ML, Yves

  40770. I watch all your videos lol. Just know I enjoy them all. I'm from California so it's great watching you. I speak only Spanish and english..English... but my best friends are Vietnamese and Chinese so I love these videos. Don't get discouraged!
    1
  40771. Just awesome. I'm trying to learn Portuguese alone. I just try to get through reading the newspaper each week. Your an inspiration. Thank you.

  40772. You more like a big sister to them rather than a teacher, that why you would have a hard time to control the class...hahaha. it all good.

  40775. Hello sweetie, I have that same reaction from Chinese people here in Portugal in the Chinese stores and Chinese restaurants when I practice my Chinese mandarin. I know to speak seven languages but I am tried add one more, the Chinese Cantonese and keep the good work with your videos...
    1
  40776.  @OrientalPearl  I will keep going and in the other day I pretend I needed help in my Chinese grammar in my diary where I write in Chinese, I showed to a Chinese woman in a store to correct me and was great her reaction. On my Facebook in my live videos when I saw my Chinese friends are watching I speak in Chinese to them and they say my Chinese is good. Have a great day sweetie.

  40777. Are there any good programs like this in Japan for (maybe) advanced beginners that go for maybe a week at a time? I’d love to try that but can’t be away from home for much longer than a week. I would of course consider going back multiple times as time permits.
    1
  40778. Out of curiosity, which do u consider to be ur second language? Ha

  40781. Sometimes people are so shocked they act normal. Sounds weird but it's true.

  40782. I wonder how many of your subscribers are from HelloTalk. I saw your videos in my recommendations, saw your profile picture and recognised you from HelloTalk. Also I swear you've spoken more Chinese in Japan than Japanese lol.

  40786. Good!!! There's a new Italian subscriber here🥰

  40787. My first language is portuguese, I've acquired english a long time ago by just chatting online and participating in technical forums, then talking to online friends through skype... We talked about game design, implementations, class abstractions... coding stuff in general. Later I've tried taking spanish classes, the company I used to work for paid for it, and I've struggled a lot. I never know if I'm just speaking portuguese with an accent or proper spanish, it's a nightmare.

  40788. Why don't you have an Accent for all Languages?

  40820. People I believe call soft tofu curd differently in the south. It is 豆腐花 translates to Tofu flower，not脑。 Pig's ear is cartilage which has lots of collagen. Collagen is good for keeping your skin soft and supple. If you want to look young, eat it.

  40821. This video ended too fast maybe I expected a longer video, It was great to see the countryside of Japan, I like to see more countryside of the Japan and the people living there.

  40822. Hi - yes I want to support you but patreon only seems to offer monthly options - my financial situation is very fluid I am not going to sign a monthly payment thing. I'm sure Iam not the only one. Where's the one-off payment option?

  40825. There are many polyglots here on YouTube. The reaction of Chinese people always seems to be the same. Instant friends for life. You and other Chinese speakers here on YouTube have inspired me to learn Mandarin.

  40826. This is great content. Glad I saw this. I’m off to go work a job I despise more than I can say. I’m hoping I’ll get a few minutes later this evening to watch you do a job you love. Great channel.

  40831. I grew up in south america so my favorite beach is a little city in Venezuela called "Carupano" My dad is from there so he took us to the beaches he grew up in. I haven't been to a good beach afterwards so that's the only one I like so far.

  40832. What’s so fascinating is the difference in how others interact with you once they know you speak their native language. It’s like they see you as their own family member and they are so willing to open up to you.

  40840. When I first went to Akita during college. It was my first time outside of the states I went to this small restaurant/public bath area. I didn't know that you had to be naked to go in. I went in with swim shorts, this tiny old guy was trying to take my swim shorts off. Finally i gave in and just sat in the corner of the spa huddled up. Waited for him to leave..then relaxed a bit and went back to the dorms. lol

  40852. A Finnish word with a lot of consonants (3:42), like a tonge twister 😊
    1
  40853. I have to ask you, it’s better to be stuck in Japan than in China right?
    1
  40854. You said in another video that you don't like YouTube. I am new to your channel and I have say that you are a natural on YouTube! Great channel! 'I only speak three languages; Chinese, Japanese and English'. Hahahahaha 😂 That's more than most people can only dream of. I am sure that your family are proud of you. Besides being a little worried. I am very impressed. I speak Danish(my mother tongue), English and I can get by on Thai. Keep your videos coming👍 Watching from Denmark.
    1
  40855. It is interesting to hear you have a conversation. I like the tone of this accent. Thank you

  40856. Good advice. Thank you.

  40857. Ha, found another one in my recommendations. I went through your video playlist. Somehow I still managed to miss a couple. It's funny how I listen to your Japanese convos. In my intro class I learned on how to see the differences between a statement and a question. It all makes more sense Haha.

  40858. 👍Always enjoy your videos!

  40859. love the videos. and loved that you were in my home state of Utah!!

  40860. Hello.  is there an email address to get to you directly with comments?  I have some suggestions/comments about your videos, but I feel if I appear to 'criticize' a video of yours with 100K + likes on it, I'm going to get lamb basted.

  40865. You had me at talking to Japanese girls.

  40866. I already know Japanese (lived there for a while, too), and now I was thinking Mandarin. But, I live in Minnesota. I really just want to watch Chinese television shows or read books... like I do with Japanese. I still talk with my friends in Japanese, but I probably will never use Chinese to make friends. What to do? I speak my languages with my friends or to watch TV. Do you think I should learn Mandarin?
    1
  40867. I think Anming has spoken Chinese more than Japanese while in Japan at this point lol. Next she's going to be speaking Japanese in Beijing or Korean in Moscow.
    1
  40868. I’m Japanese and totally enjoyed your video:) Japanese are used to face earthquakes so most of us are not really scared if seismic scale is not that much. I’ve been living in abroad for 10 years and I noticed interesting thing that actually, a lot of people outside of Japan have never experienced earthquakes. Anyways, thank you for promoting Japan:) missing my home country!

  40888. I had originally planned a five week trip to Japan in March - April this year, to go on one last big trip before I graduate uni in September. But due to several reasons (including corona) my trip got cancelled and it truly broke my heart. I cried for days because I knew that once I graduate and start working (I'll be a teacher) i won't have the option to go on such a trip, at least not for a very long time, and that this was my last chance. But now, my graduation also got postponed until next year, and after discovering your channel and talking to some people about it, I am now planning to do my trip next spring (if traveling to Japan will be allowed again). Thank you for inspiring me to follow my dream once more :-)

  40899. I couldn't control my Chinese students either. I haven't met a single foreign teacher in China who says it's easy to do so.
    1
  40900. I think a big difference for me is that when they don’t react it is usually because they just ignore my attempts and continue speaking in English. Maybe because I’m still in the US and not fluent yet? I feel a little disappointed, because I would love to practice conversing with them, but obviously I can’t make them do it. I guess I’ll just keep up with the independent study and hope I run into some people who don’t mind helping me.

  40905. “Hit the books! What are you doing? Why are you watching YouTube?” I’m supposed to be working 😅. I’ve already said it but I’m super impressed by your Japanese, especially how easily you use the grammar and your vocabulary. What are your thoughts on pronunciation and accent? Do you think it’s worth it to try to eliminate a foreign accent?
    1
  40906. i never ever get tired of this channel, love watching this so much, great job! :)

  40907. I'm from Indonesia, SEA, and my English not that good. If I speak English fluently, and I go to western countries, are the people will say " your English is good" , "your English is great?", I doubt that. So, Anming, my point is, just accept the friendly attitude of Asian people, humble and cheerful people, enjoy and keep happy, despite the sad situation of the pandemy, stay safe, stay healthy, best wishes 🙏🤗

  40911. Congratulations on you both ❤️ I hope you always stay happy !!! I also met my bf through a language exchange app, can't wait to meet him !! We are waiting since 2 years, Japan's border policy is super strict 😢

  40912. 阿。非常好。我觉得您说话得跟中国人一样好
    1
  40913. When you said you went to a Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant in Japan at the beginning it reminded me of when I was in an Irish pub in Okinawa and their Korean band was playing (American) country music. It was AMAZING!
    1
  40914. Nice videos (both parts) @OrientalPearl, but I can feel those unsaid "rules" that you can run into living in Japan. Funny thing is that currently I am now unemployed (due to COVID) and I sort of felt, "Hey, I could teach English in Japan!!"...lol...but until Japan lifts the travel ban for Americans (though I hear that Japan will let resident foreigners back in soon), I guess I will have to keep looking for a job here in my area of San Francisco. Anyway, keep the vids coming, short or long is fine, and hope you are dealing with the heat over there by staying hydrated, as I remember those humid/hot late summer days in Tokyo :-)
    1
  40915. すごく日本語がお上手ですね！ 尊敬します！ I respect you so much!!!!
    1
  40916. Hey Anming. I have a theory as too why native English speakers are so fascinated with other native English speakers who speak more than one language. Because they've simply never had to learn another language. It's part ignorance and part amazement I think. I mean, who doesn't want to be able to speak more than one language? It's so incredibly useful. But, as you know yourself, it can essentially be a life long pursuit depending on the fluency you require. I stay with your channel because your fluency level is legitimate. I have a super meta youtube idea for you. React videos (ergh i know but big hits) you could react to OTHER 'polyglot' youtubers who speak chinese, japanese and get those 'wow' face memes, and actually tell us how good they are at speaking. Accent, tone, pronunciation ect. Would be pretty interesting.
    1

  40925. Another great vid. Im in New Zealand Where Chinese is the third largest ethnic group and i was in a restaurant and this White New Zealand man with a Asian wife and child started speaking to the Waiter in what I guess was fluent Chinese. I was totally shocked needless to say and had the same look on my face as some of these people did. I also cant use Chopsticks too well. I feel like Im getting RSI in my wrist lol.

  40952. Went on vacation by my self for 2 weeks to Japan. Met loads of very friendly and helpfull people. Got candy for free, a free bus ride (cause we were a bit lost) and some random Japanses guy even paid for my ticket for the Todai-ji and gave me a tour. Still my best vacation till this day.

  40956. I’m planning to move to Japan(from America) in the next few years(on my own) and seeing videos like this get me excited and nervous at the same time! The culture blows me away! I can’t wait!

  40958. I think I know who you are talking about, I was learning 4 different languages at the same time and was fluent in Spanish and nearly fluent in the other 3 I found learning very easy for me but unfortunately I got a brain tumour and it gave me a memory problem and after years and years of learning I have forgotten all of them, I respect others for learning my language which is why I learn there's too, great work btw

  40960. I always watch in anime that is pretty normal that not-japanese characters speak perfect japanese xD

  40961. Thank you for this video… It is important to see. It makes my heart hurt that the aged population who have been through the biggest shift in modern history are literally ignored. It seems counter to the “perfect culture” they portray to the world.

  40994. A beautiful message for people all the world. Kisses.
    1
  40995. Again -another interesting video. Thank you. Underneath the covers - your view of formal language training PLUS being ok w/ making mistakes is apparent. The added insight you provide me is the importance of building a kanji foundation. This is definitely my weak spot. Having started in China is a great asset.... Of course, I never lived in China so I am biased - but perhaps life is better in Japan. Separately - as I watch these videos - I see masks everywhere. So nice. There is a slang term in the US - where you say - oh that's a "Karen" - generally for females but this can be applied big time to males. It has the meaning of feeling that you are entitled. People that feel they are better than everyone else - that their individual freedoms are being violated - and go out into society without masks. If they are asymptomatic, and infect others - Karen's don't worry. Enshrined in our constitutional rights. So sad. In the USA - individual rights seem to take precedence over being considerate to others by wearing masks. My sense is that there is less of this in Japan. Hence - we see here the USA leading that way in covid-19 deaths and cases. Of course I love the USA - but this is one of those weak spots. Darwin @ work.

  40996. hahahaha another great content by yours truly :D :D
    1
  40997. It's amazing what happens when you turn off your TV and get out there....forget what your government has to say and just talk to people. I've been to probably 30 countries now. And from Europe to the deserts of north Africa and the mountains of Afghanistan, it was all the same. People is people. Just talk to them and see what happens

  40998. Congrats on a million! Still remember when u only had a few thousand! What an inspiration! 🎉💐

  40999. There was another channel I watched, I think it was monkey abroad. He also lived in China and he said that whenever the Chinese praise that you have good Chinese or that other person has better Chinese than you, it felt like a competition that was unintentionally started between all the foreigners, where everyone competes to have better Chinese. But, you also have to understand that China and Japan are homogenous countries, so they don't come across people who can speak their language well. I mean, honestly, I subscribed to you because I was impressed with your Chinese and Japanese.
    1
  41000. Well I don't know Chinese 😂
    1
  41001. LMAOO NOO NOT THE TUMMY KID, POOR GUY 💀 Lowkey sad lmao, when I went to Japan I didn't stand out cause I'm literally east asian so some people expected me to know Japanese and kinda embarrassed myself 😭
    1
  41002. This was a fun video! thank you for uploading. I really liked the comment you made to your colleagues with どうでもいい. That is like telling them whatever lol. いつでも大丈夫です would be better, but making mistakes is learning which is great! Keep it up.

  41003. Omg its Kelly!! I love her !!! Loved this video !!💖💖

  41004. This is cool! I always dreamed to be able to speak multiple language

  41005. There are just some things in this world that just dont make sense, your videos are just something else, keep making sense lets help the broken world, i feel you, just learn to ride with the waves, God bless

  41006. guys, i love this girl 😭 she's smart, i want learn any language but i'm so lazy, maybe i not have a strong motivation lmao..

  41008. Hey there, You sound you like you speak Chinese to the higher level, how were you able to speak cheese. Were you born in Chinese??
    1
  41009. I knew, who those people you talking about, I live in Asia. Some claimed they are polyglots, but the reality is he just want to show off. Doesn't meant you can speak a little Malays and Indonesian you know the whole things. I kind a hate that black guy. Opss!! Sorry🤣

  41010. That salaryman who skipped down the street (apparently) is adorable, like imagine seeing a salaryman, candy in hand, skipping lightly down the street away from a blond santa and a foreigner woman xD

  41011. Congratulations! You are blessed with each other! Keep loving! Be faithful Catholic couple...God bless you.
    1
  41012. 4:06 I agree with him on that, people who claim they don't need to learn the local language and use English are simply not generally liked. And for a good reason. Imagine if non-English speaking people started addressing everyone in the UK and US in their own non-English language, Americans would think that is rude too. People who go to these countries, live there, and don't bother to even learn to say hi in the local language are then shocked that people are rude to them. Well, ...
    1
  41013. Where did you shoot this Video? The temple looked really nice and I love these little streets in Japan. The video showed so much everyday life, that was really great.
    1
  41014. Could you recommend an app or program to learn Japanese?
    1
  41015. Congratulations! 🎊🍾
    1
  41016. I agree. I enjoy learning from the languange apps a lot though. I've improved my vocabulary. But to bcome FLUENT, you need in person.

  41017. Cute outfit!

  41018. Massive Respect

  41019. woww almost hit 100k ~ Gomedetou gasaimasu your vids are a means of motivation to get my lazy self to study Nihongo. Thank you for that <3

  41020. Congratulations! I'm sorry your parents weren't able to make it due to the restrictions but overall it looked like a beautiful wedding. Wishing you both a long and happy life together.
    1
  41021. So happy for you Anming!!! 明けましておめでとうございます！
    1
  41022. tbh polyglot videos encouraged me to practice the language that im learning because i fear that if i make a small mistake they'll judge or make fun of me but no they help you and correct you.
    1
  41023. I hope the same applies for Japanese as well! I'm quitting my job next week to study Japanese full time (going for 常用漢字 mastery and basic phrases) for three months before I go off to Japan. I'm hoping my "literacy-first" method gives me a leg-up in Japanese-language learning once I start my job as an English teacher. It's going to be tough studying Japanese while working full-time but I'm not going to give up.
    1
  41024. I wanna learn Japanese so bad I use goggle translate just to learn basic words in Japanese
    1
  41025. Absolutely love your channel. Hope you and your husband make your way over to Korea at some point.
    1
  41026. imagine living in a country for 8 years and not speaking the language
    1
  41027. "thanks for watching me go to the supermarket as if I am the only one who does that"... well, most people like me go to the supermarket buy their stuff and leave BUT you just had sweet little conversations with more people at once than I have spoken to in a month (with the exception of my family)
    1
  41028. Hi Anming! I was wondering if you had to bring some proof or documentation that you could not return to the USA to Immigration to extend your stay?
    1
  41029. I have spent just over half my life learning Japanese and I still don't consider myself anywhere close to fluent; I'm okay with that. It's important to remember that a lot of these people aren't strong in the languages they're speaking definitely, but it's also good to note (as you did) that sometimes that's not the point. Thanks for this important PSA!
    1
  41030. I don't think the "modern" way would further speed up the learning process, more likely they would become a distraction. From zero to C2 in three years, what matters is your effort, not the method. Huge congratulations to your achievement. I hope this gives you confidence to get into life and culture in China, to have chat with people not just characterized by "oh, you speak good Chinese", good luck and have fun!

  41031. As usual, another enjoyable video.

  41040. An, that's cool you have a happy/family place in this frying pan I call Arizona! I may be from Canada, but I actually live in Apache Junction, AZ. Not too far from your family. I was not aware that Chinese is taught in schools here....was taught, that is! Schools have been cancelled for the rest of the year here!
    1
  41041.  @OrientalPearl  If they do forget initially, it won't take long for them to remember again. Kids brains are like a new sponge that soaks up everything easily, unlike my old brain which is more like a dried up old sponge that has a hard time retaining anything! 😜

  41049. As a Chinese student, I think the threshold of foreign teachers in China is too low. Any native English speaker can teach English and earn a lot of money.And Chinese school leaders always think about education in their own way,not knowing the facts.

  41050. WOW i really enjoyed this episode, nice music, slowdowns, the old movie black and white texts between shots, editing all of it was perfect.

  41051. I would absolutely fight with my partner for that small patio that Tommy is in! Like throw socks, cat toys, rolled up clingwrap, and foil balls at him! IT WOULD BE MINE!!! 😂 "get out of my space!!" It's the most perfect sketching spot I'd ever had 🥹❤ 1:39

  41052. It's sort of funny that the locals all think you're Russian because of your blonde hair and pale complexion. As for the video, it was very enlightening

    1
  41069. Yes, a lot of polyglots like to show off their skills on videos. And why shouldn't they? They have worked hard to develop skills that are rather rare. They deserve recognition and income for their accomplishments just like people who learn a skill and then pursue a professional career in which they make use of that skill.

  41088. Completely agree, i have been learning French for 9 years. For some people I speak it fluently. But to me, I realize I still make mistakes 😂 And after 9 years been learning and speaking French, I start learning German in the beginning 2020. Till I'm now in B2 level of German, but still im not saying I Speak it fluent. I think, learning language requires discipline, répétition, and focus. Anyway you inspire me to discover Chinese 😂

  41105. Perseverance against adversity, i had the same experience back when i was learning english..scare of pronunciation. But no one is to blame but ourselves. Falling was just the tuition fees we paid to getting up and surviving for better result. There is silver lining and in adversity, they appear. Thumbs up for you!

  41116. I just spent my Sunday watching many of your videos. I appreciate your honesty about learning language in depth, and the energy, dedication, and discipline needed. I really enjoy your content - keep up the good work! FYI, I am a Malaysian-Chinese who learned 2 years of Japanese in U.S. university long time ago (I just remember basic stuff, probably pre-K level?), and now taking 200 level Chinese as an adult in the U.S. It is tough learning a new language - so I appreciate your videos. I'm inspired and I want to keep learning, despite the challenges. :) Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

  41131. The footage in the market was especially interesting and fun to watch. I think you left a very positive impression with those folks at the market. You really should be eating more fruits and vegetables and less processed foods - especially junk foods. [I'm 75 years old so please take it as if your Grandpa were giving you this advise.]

  41133. as a dude who went to japan (osaka) blind to the customs OR the language, i have to say it was a challenge to even TALK to anyone, let alone girls. didnt help that i was over 30 and the people that i COULD potentially talk to were either schoolgirls (creep factor to them) and the old folks (much easier, but hardly anyone spoke english). suffice to say, it was a total disaster; and it felt very impolite communicating with google translate.

  41140. I love it! Congrats, OP! I like how the gal says you don't speak quite as well as they (including her) in the north, yet she thought you might have been from China! And thanks to you, I've got cake on my mind now. I'm going to have to make one tomorrow! Congrats again on a well done year.

  41141. I think 「すみません」 is less of "sorry", more of "i didn't mean to" or "excuse me", then there's also 「失礼します」which is kind of "excuse me please". 「ごめなさい」would be "sorry". And then you have 「申し訳ありません」, a formal apology which I can't think of a Western equivalent. There are tons of ways to say "sorry" which might be unique to Confucian societies.

  41142. Hello Oriental Pearl, I'd like to let you know that you inspired me to start this beautiful journey of learning Chinese. It is difficult for me since busy with small children at home and busy work but I don't give up. Since I started to follow you I made a lot of improvements and learned a lot by studying with an online course. I would very much appreciate your advice for a textbook a serious one that can be used for learning and as a future reference too. Thanks a lot! Francesco.

  41144. I'm new to the language community here so this is low key funny to me. So glad you touched on the 'doing half the work' part, mostly because I'm determined to perfect my kana knowledge even though it's been over a month since I started -amongst other topics (I saw online where someone said you could do it in a week......lmao ok), but writing and reading is so important for me to learn first otherwise what's the point!! I understand if people want to learn to speak quickly because they're going on a trip but my dream is to be able to express myself adequately one day and I know I can't communicate certain English phrases or nuances by just translating them literally because they just don't work in Japanese the same way. But I'm so grateful for this community in general, they've helped me so much!

  41145. We haven't made it to China yet, but when we are in Vancouver, BC, it seems all we do is walk from Chinese bakery to Chinese bakery and buy egg tarts because they seem like they are pretty authentic there. Portuguese-style too. So I totally get the love for them. :-D
    1
  41146. Would it be possible that the difference is cause by Chinese being more open to showing their actual reaction (shock) while Japanese are more polite and tend to hide their real feelings, pretending that everything is normal. The culture is quite different.
    1
  41147. Here is the thing. I watch others who PERFORM on YouTube in faraway places. You, however, share, reveal and converse with a great combination of humility and warmth. When you get back to Michigan you should hold a meet and greet for a day! Others do it and it's great! Nearly 8000 subscribers tell me that would be a huge success.

I am struggling at finding work in a particular area where industry's are disappearing fast. On a positive note, i managed to get more freedom and happiness than lots of very well educated people who make way more money than i do. I am grateful for what i have accomplished and i respect the people who have less. A balanced mind could be my force? Thank you for sharing your story's with us and ATB.

  41178. Not trying to put up that "we are superior to you" thing but here in India, most city dwellers can speak at least two Indian languages + English and they are still not considered 'polyglots'. The problem with this whole "polyglot" thing on YT is that there are two kinds of people here 1) Those who are genuinely passionate about language learning who would religiously spend weeks and months on understanding everything from culture, history to linguistics and grammar of a language. 2) Those who learn a language from the surface - basics, some idioms etc The latter as we know is pretentious and is all about "likes, comment and subscribe coz I spoke something new". And it is these folks who mislead with their content. I used to follow Tim Doner - the American polyglot who gave a TED talk back when he was 17 on how he learned to speak more than 20 languages. He has a YT channel (not that active) but he is otherwise really good at diving in depth while learning a new language. Because of less social media presence, not many talk about him. I believe there are many such polyglots whose names we are yet to hear because they are immersed much in the real world.

  41183. Why did guy in the beginning say "Ni hao ma". As far as I know that is Mandarin and not Japanese? Sorry I don't understand Mandarin or Japanese, but went to Taiwan a few years back, so obviously learned just a few phrases to get around. Anyone replying would be great!
    1
  41184. I was in Japan for 4 months and Japanese people are some of the nicest I have ever met, and that includes complete strangers. I was in Kyoto looking for a shop and went into a cell phone store to ask if they knew where it was. The woman went around asking coworkers and walked outside with me to give me directions. I had no cell phone or any intentions of buying anything, but she went above and beyond to help. Had a similar experience with a hotel employee as well. Now not saying there aren't bad apples, but this has been the majority of my experiences

  41185. Yankee actually came from the American revolution. It was a term that the English used to insult us. The song Yankee Doodle Dandy was an insult to Americans. However, Americans just rolled with it and instead decided to use the term endearingly.
    1
  41186. 1000 subscribers 4000h in year...views...it has to be sensational and entertaining to get money from videos. As a content creator I feel my videos are very boring, but educational...but it is not that what youtube wants.. it wants views, views, views and watching time..btw Speak Finnish fluently and nobody cares, haha! Interesting topic you have here..I think as a language learner myself I don't like these fluent in 30 days videos. I've studied French almost 2 years and finally I feel that I actually can study this language because of understanding it.

  41193. Another very interesting and strange thing is the very common abandoned, unlocked, and in good condition bicycles on footpaths and in shopping centre car parks. They seem to be collected and sent to Thailand. I wonder if there is a Japanese word for it. If you ride a bike, you should see them more, maybe because more distance is travelled, bikes are more maneuverable, and pass by those areas. Sometimes there are bikes that are so old, and actually virtually antique, that they have been there untouched for what seems to be decades.

  41198. I speak Finnish and Korean. Most of the time when the polyglots claim to speak Finnish or Korean among the maaany languages they apparently speak, they can only say few grammatically very poor sentences with an awful pronunciation. Almost none of their audience know those languages, so yeah they cannot know that what these people just said could have been learned within AN HOUR.
    1
  41199. Hi it’s lovely to see you enjoying your new home, it’s very nice in Tokyo but way too expensive for my liking, I live on the south coast of England next to the sea and I have a house which is probably twice as big as the property you have for a fraction of the cost, I couldn’t live in Japan because I enjoy having cars and suvs which of course is quite prohibitive there, it would be interesting to know what you do for entertaining and socialising maybe you can tell me how much it costs also, I really enjoyed your content and I’m certainly looking forward to your next video, thank you.

  41221. Another lovely adventure with our lovely Anming. Thanks. Regarding the "elbow bump" in this Covid 19 time; we are advised to cough into our elbows to limit the spread of air-born bacteria, yet instead of shaking hands (you once might've coughed into) we bump our germ-laden elbows??????

  41242. As someone who has learned 2 languages apart from my native language (english) i completely agree with the guy’s points. Only I think that these fake polyglots don’t have any redeemable qualities outside of taking an interest in foreign cultures/languages which we americans don’t usually do.

  41258. Dunno how this is "appropriation". This is "appreciation". If someone respects the culture, has knowledge and an understanding of it, how can it be called "appropriation"? I hate that word now because it is thrown all over the place. Some people are using this exact word to build walls around cultures, for some reason.

  41291. 9:19 I agree with that, I'm a mix with Japan and Australia, my Australian mom has lived here in Tokyo for more than 20 years married a Japanese guy, still, her Japanese level is around N4 周りの人が英語話してくれるのが最大の原因だけどね 你说中文的时候我也每次惊讶了 我也需要学更多中文... Thank you for the videos!

  41301. Japanese Sweet compared to western sweet is so different. I love the subtle sweets in Japan. I live in NZ and we have sweet but then there is British and American Sweet which is a whole other level I cannot handle

  41302. Don’t do tiktok. Stay with YouTube!

  41303. What's interesting: I lived in Japan 40 years ago. EVERYONE wore masks, in the streets and on the subways. They KNEW THEN how dangerous it is to breath other people's "emissions". I guess we're just slow learners.
    1
  41304. I didn't get to cycle much when I visited Japan because one of my friends couldn't cycle. I only actually learned to ride a bike when I was 27, out of necessity for my job at the time, but I do really love cycling. If you're looking for a lovely little cycle route, Yoyogi park has a nice one, I recommend it. Although I'm not sure if that's easy for you to reach, Tokyo's a big place and I don't recommend using the subway during the pandemic. Cycling on the busy roads / footpaths looked stressful to me. I'd be too scared of pedestrians jumping out in front of me. (also, the houses don't look too close to me, but that's because in Britain almost all housing is terraced housing or flats. Only very expensive houses are detached like you show in your video)

  41324. Yeah I noticed this pretty early on in Japan as well. It's pretty standard that Japanese people will say 日本語上手ですね which they say regardless of your level, even at the most accented konnichiwa or arigatou. The way I interpret it: 日本語上手ですね　= beginner ぺらぺら! = intermediate They dont comment on your japanese ability and judt talk to you = advanced (subject to change based on the individual) I always deny it too, いや、そんなに上手じゃないんですよ something like that with the no no waving of the hand gesture and I do little bows too which have made people giggle. People in Japan really flatter and build up others as well. I see it regularly among Japanese people though I'm unsure if it's truly sincere or just the appropriate way to respond to something someone has done or some skill someone has shown in the given moment, I think to create that sense of "harmony" that is desired in all Japanese social situations the 和 which is also tied to shame culture, carefully choosing your words to accomodate the other person, including supressing your own thoughts or opinions to create a pleasant atmosphere for those around you, appearance based culture, saving face and the neccesity of an ability to 空気を読む read the air to catch unspoken nuances of Japanese social situations and act accordingly. That may be very general but those are my observations as an expat in Japan.

  41337. Damn your Chinese is good. I've been studying for about 15 months (mostly haphazardly), but I'm half way through HSK4. Do you have any tips, or any resources you'd recommend? I already use Pleco, Du Chinese, The Chairman's Bao, and a writing app called TOFU Learn.

  41340. im the same when people try to speak english. like if its ok i will say "yourr english is so good" casually. but if i mean it my tone raises "WOW your english is soo good!" i think we all do this because we want to express we see they are really trying and make them feel good about its so they dont shy away. nothinng wrong with that.

  41348. Yes make more of these. Quite enjoyable! As for PC, lots of people with good advice about protecting like on Reddit. Also, use burner emails to avoid scammers or increase verification for gmail accounts. Really. Xiaomanyc in NY gets like 3 million views for getting lunch and you're doing this without being a um.. not as obnoxious about it as he can be at times.

  41349. I think the lady's reaction at 4:39 is mainly because you are a Westerner speaking to her in Chinese in Japan. I always found I got the biggest reactions when speaking Chinese in Japan or Japanese in China lol.

  41358. The phrase visible minority comes to mind. Humans are such visual animal. They do rank and classify by visual cues. Canadian and American are words for nationality status, not ethnicity, so they have no physical characteristic traits attached. Whereas the word Japanese or Italian etc gives ppl an expectation of certain physical traits. If they are absent, ppl don’t automatically id the person as such.

  41359. I love Tommy's shirt in Malaysia

  41360. LOL. Very funny to see. I do know how it feels to be like an ‘attraction’. When I arrived in Seoul, this dude came up and did a whole selfie photoshoot. I guess because of my grey beard and skin tone that kinda falls out of place there. :)

  41368. LOL; have you ever seen that little poop emoji that comes up sometimes on the internet? Guess where the idea for that came from. Your second dish kind of looked like pinto beans with cheese in it. I'm Hispanic so we were raised on that stuff but we didn't eat it with chop sticks. We ate it with Spanish rice and flour tortillas; and we shoveled it down with spoons and forks.

  41393. I like your videos especially pranking Japanese that you know Japanese also but please make some other content that make us want to go Japan reasonably and worth to spent days. Informative and educative. Thanks 😊
    1
  41394. Can I ask about your channel name? I was under the impression that the term oriental could be offensive. Is it something that is only offensive when used incorrectly? Pardon my ignorance, I have just always avoided using that term entirely.
    1
  41395. Is that the reason for so many becoming English teachers? I thought it was mainly that you could do it without needing too much Japanese. If you are looking for a professional position (other than technical), you're usually told you need JLPT 1 or 2. For programmer/engineer you can get a position without strong Japanese, but for any management/executive positions with a Japanese company you generally need to be pretty fluent. At least my experience...
    1
  41396. OMG 😍 I wanna be like you! Fluent in Chinese and Japanese.

  41397. うわぁ、おめでと！

  41398. Congrats!!!

  41399. But how is it in China then? Does ppl point out your chinese there too in the same amount? I mean, you are in Japan and maybe its more unusual for someone to speak fluent chinese. B ut you said its been pointed out for years so I guess its the same in China.
    1
  41400. I love this. I was in Germany and my daughter in law and her Aunt spoke German most of the time. I was screwed since I only took German in college in 1992. No way did I remember any of it.

  41401. You have secret desires to become a celebrity.
    1
  41402. Interesting, definitely subscribing
    1
  41403. I think Japanese people say that to encourage others, like saying "your English is good, keep it up!" to a person speaking English to you as their second language. That being said I would only see myself saying this to someone if their English wasn't that great. If their English is truthfully really good, then I don't say anything about it. (Again, to encourage them to keep going).

  41411. This has motivated me a bit, it’s quite hard to study and practice Japanese as I have now started a chef apprenticeship and work 6 days a week with a minimum of 38 hours. When I get home I just wanna relax and have a break, even on my day off but seeing you do it has change the way I think. I am capable of doing this, I will try my hardest to learn and keep practicing on my time of. Also you have giving me hope on learning Japanese with the resources you have provided so thank you from the bottom of my heart

  41416. I love your videos because they are clean, you do not use indirect (or direct) profanity, you are such a *humble woman*, especially this!! Oh my God, the vast majority of American women here have SO much to learn from you on that: you are not conceited, you are not stuck-up, you are totally unassuming, and you present realities and environments of other countries for us to learn from 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Keep up your great work (oh! and you never look or sound in a frenzy to carry on your YouTuber work, you are amazing!!!)

  41418. As someone that has been taking my time to learn a language I have seen the videos that say something like I learned “x” language in “x” amount of time. And it seems to be some claim with a crazy low length of time. I just nod and think whatever, click bait. By actually learning a language I have learned how it’s a process that is definitely not learned overnight and takes time, patience and practice.

  41419. omg hahahaha that happened to me when i went to shanghai... its a really funny experience but scary

  41425. Matt, please tell me that you lived in Japan at least for a year... The accent and pronunciation... 完璧すぎるわ~
    1
  41426. Well, to be fair, several countries are extremely homogenous. Almost everybody looks the same, speaks the same language, etc, so... It's natural I suppose. It's something many people here in the US know nothing about since they either live in a melting pot or never visit other countries.
    1
  41427. Whether you want to or not, you act as a goodwill ambassador for the U.S., which sorely needs it now. Also, you are an inspiration to me and many others to carve out that time during the day to learn some basic language skills that will benefit us versus watching some TV shows for the umpteenth time or binge watching movies on Netflix. I'm not against either, but sacrficing 1-2 hours from watching TV to start to learn a language will pay far more dividends in the future. A long journey begins with but a single step. You just have to decide to make that step. A link was left for you in your Happy Birthday post in your community section. Enjoy. And thanks again for all that you do and share. Your sincere enthuasiasm and joy come through the screen.
    1
  41428. Japanese people have always struck me as people who have so much to say but the language barrier just gets in the way. I studied Japanese in the past in hopes of visiting the country and this video just makes me want to get right back into it.

  41437. I have learned and forgotten much of several languages. What is interesting about your channel is not only that you speak Chinese and Japanese well, but your personality and how you interact with people on the street. You vary the type of content you film, and you wouldn’t have over 200k subscribers if you were just flitting by the scene. Your content has a lot of value.
    1
  41438. That’s a sweet apartment. 62 square meters feels giant in Tokyo. And opposed to people from my generation you don’t have a lot of stuff that takes a lot of space, like books, CD’s and DVD’s and games. It’s a good thing you don’t have that.

  41450. I do not like the "white guy shocks native speakers with perfect chinese videos!" The reason why I don't like those types of videos is because it just seems to pander to an audience's desire to feel special, to be unique, and to not be just another foreigner -- they seem to want to feel like "ahah, I'm not just your average foreigner! I can speak your language! I'm special." Don't mistake me, I'm not saying that the creators feel this way at all, and if they do I'm not saying they should feel bad for feeling that way because they put in the work and earned those compliments from the native speakers that they're communicating with. All the respect in the world to the creators! I hope to one day earn the appraisal of natives like you do, too, but I will get that feeling when I've earned it. It just sometimes seems like it's that 'feeling' -- that "I'm unique and special!", dopamine induced -- 'feeling' that the audience gets to selfishly hooked on by vicariously living through these youtube polyglot's accomplishments. I think some youtubers know this and pander to that desire by essentially condensing and bottling that feeling of appraisal into tiny clips that help deliver it to the audience. When that is the youtubers main goal, all in an attempt to get clicks, that's when I lose interest. Obviously I can't know all of this for sure, but it's just how I've always felt while seeing a lot of those types of videos. I don't think there's necessary anything wrong with people wanting that selfish dose of dopamine that they experience by vicariously living through these polyglot's accomplishments and second hand compliments -- I just think it's not for me and that there's better things to get out of a video than that feeling. Now if there's some kind of unique conversations that go on with the natives that shares some cultural info with the viewer, then I'm interested, but I feel like that cultural aspect of these videos tends to be a burriend in the background and not as forefront as the need to sell that famous "feeling" i've mentioned many times. That said, I was very glad to hear your perspective on it Oreintal Pearl, and you made me respect the creators of these videos even more. I've noticed many people commenting here saying that these types of videos inspire them, and I find that beautiful. Maybe my mind is just warped.

  41451. Personally I pick your video more so on your attitude,presentation along with your awesome friendly attitude,thanks a bunch pearl🇳🇿

  41452. Don't a lot of them decide to live on the street rather than work for a place they don't feel is proper? In other words they want to live by their own rules. I applaud your learning of many languages. In todays economy I admit that it is a lot harder to maintain a standard of living but then again I think many homeless are accustomed to living under their own rules.

  41463. I like the idea of sharing these videos to show that some people can speak several languages. it is odd to see Americans speaking anything other than English and it's good to get it out there that some do speak something other than English. and the comments about why aren't there videos about some Asian or African guy speaks fluent English wouldn't make much sense to me because in my experience is that half the population of the planet speaks English to some degree

  41464. regarding the bribery issues you talked, I really appreciate your principle. but sadly many teachers in China don't have the bottom line and accept money or any other form of bribes. so we end up with a wealth-favoured education system which certainly can cause a ton of social unequal in the coming future

  41469. I have never been good at foreign languages no matter how hard I try. When I learn a word and use it to translate I eventually forget what I learn't so whle I may recognise the word and know that I've used it I have no recollection of what it means. Latterly I have taken to learning German and again I started learning words and forgtting them and I have taken to learning the way a baby learns to talk, I don't try to comprehend, I just listen. I'm now at a stage where I'm starting to understand without having to make a translation, but it's a long drawn out process and I might get to a stage where I can understand the language but never be able to speak. I think that you may have a natural aptitude for language which set you apart from everyone else. That's why I watch, I'm super impressed!

  41473. That's a good question to ask and getting the perspective from Natives & foreigners. I would personally like to be given good feedback on my language learning even if I make a mistake. Specificallylearning a foreignlanguage I want to know if I said it correctly than say the woring meaning you know. The effort shown is heard & its understandable for Japanese to say that just to be genuine or nice.

  41488. love this content, some good dicussions
    1
  41489. All these questions people ask you guys shows their ignorance and that they haven't traveled much. I myself are an Chinese-Australian living abroad in New York. I used to live in London and would love to live in Asia some day, hopefully Japan. People need to get outside their comfort zone and travel or experience living abroad and see what these countries are really like for themselves instead being so narrow-minded and so quick to judge.

  41499. I noticed that you were sitting in a 'women only' seat, is this pretty common on Japanese subways? It would probably be a good idea for american trains also.

  41500. When people are bilingual , or multi lingual, I always ask which language they think in. Everytime, hands down- every 👏single 👏time👏 they have to think about it. Which is funny to watch, because you can tell they are thinking "is this always the language I think in, or am I thinking in this language now because she asked me???" Multilingual people amaze me. Legit.
    1
  41501. are people in japan small? and how tall are you?
    1
  41502. I am fluent in French (mostly... the occasional thing will trip my up but not often) and I am learning Portuguese because the chef at the restraint I work at is Brazilian. But there seems to be a lot of polyglots who speak 'portuguese' but whilst sounding a mix of Spanish and Italian and it's so odd!

  41517. I'm Japanese but have been living overseas for a long time, so my Japanese must sound a bit different. Now when l come across with fellow Japanese they tell me how good my Japanese is, and many Chinese and Vietnamese people talk to me in their language. I can speak only a few Chinese words and phrases, but I wish l could speak better Chinese.

  41518. How many times did she say “segoy” in the video 😂😂

  41519. I wasn´t sure at first if I like your videos or not. You´re a charming girl, but those all show-offs in front of natives... But thanks to your appearance on ´Days of French and Sweddish" it makes perfect sence to me know. You´re not necessary making videos purely on learning the Japanese or any other language, but more to encourage viewers to not be afraid of learning, and speaking even with random natives. without hurting anyone. And by all means, it is a good thinking. What about some office (scripted) situations in Japanese bureau? As I am not learning Japanese at all, I just know some Mandarine (i love it and writting is amazing!)

  41522. I just downloaded Pimsleur and even after just one lesson, I’m in love with it. I don’t have much time to sit down and practice Japanese, but on the drive to and from work and I can get through a lesson. I was speaking within the first few minutes of using it. Thanks for the recommendation!

  41523. can you help me out with some context. my japanese friend cant explain it to me. The good bye word "jaane". what is the closest word we have in english? Im not sure if I am using it at the right time.

  41535. I really like your videos and the other from different YouTuber. You can see many of those people willing to be open and talkative when they see someone who cold understand. Keep it up and forget those people whith stupid comments.

  41545. That last question made me realize I have no escape place to go to in order to relax or meditate. Good thing to start looking for one now then. I decided to binge watch all your videos Anming (will make time in the schedule to do so). Started from the oldest. I'm getting there!! 👊 Helps me feel inspired, especially with language learning. I want to make it a possibility for me to learn Mandarin and Japanese, has always been a dream since I was a teenager.

  41550. Love your videos and at 68 have started to relearn what I've forgotten...To many years of not speaking hurts..I've learned quit a bit of Vietnamese having worked around them...but again once no one is around....TY...I'll keep watching for your motivation
    1
  41551. I love your channel. I'm very interested in culture and I love people. I'm glad you're doing this.
    1
  41552. I love your channel Anming, don't listen to the haters... Speaking 3 languages is not a real skill? What about bitching on people on youtube??? Cause that guy looks really good at that. I doubt he has any other interesting skills.
    1
  41553. It’s so awesome that we get to enjoy this as well. Please tell your husband’s family thank you for allowing us to see this and to enjoy your happiness as well.

  41558. I haven't watched any of your videos for a while. It's nice to see your channel is still growing.
    1
  41559. This is the content I been waiting for
    1
  41560. 16:07 this is dead on. You watch videos of a guy who studied in China for 2 years and people are like, "wtf, how do you speak Chinese so well?" And after the initial reaction they just start having a normal conversation. Watch the same guy in a video where the title says, "foreigner blows locals' minds after studying Portuguese for a week" and the people are more like, "oh, that's cool you are studying Portuguese" and kind of talk to him like a baby while he strunglingly tries to speak in complete sentences.
    1
  41561. Great videos. I wish you all the best in 2022

  41562. Your subscribers are always with you as well.

  41565. OMG, from a Chinese person, thanks for your patience and for being such a good sport. May be in 20 more years, things will toned down a bit.
    1
  41566. Your videos are really inspiring! I'm a spanish guy and worked with chinese people here at my country for around 4 years. They taught me a bit of basic mandarin chinese (written and speaking) but I did not continue studing. Now, I am learning japanese in a language school and I think japanese is quite more difficult than chinese! I'm willing to continue with mandarin but with a baby, 2 jobs, home doings... is complicated. Learning languages certainly needs effort, time, but is like you said on this video, it totally worth it. I really like your videos, keep doing this please!
    1
  41567. Speak in a positive way just as you did.
    1
  41568. I cannot decide if I like the sound of Chinese or Japanese better. 🤔I feel Japanese’s is more smooth and calm sounding to me. But Chinese is more interesting to listen to. I would buy every candy and sweet I could at all these shops!! I’m obsessed with Botan rice candy!!😄💕
    1
  41569. I can't believe people have an issue with people showcasing their language skills in this way. I love these channels myself. Unlike what that one guy said, I actually did start learning a new language because I was encouraged to do so partly by videos like these.
    1
  41570. Congratulations!!! I wish you both long lives full of happiness!!!💜

  41602. If only I spoke the language, it would be easier. I think most are shy to speak english because they feel uncomfortable if it's not good enough for their feelings. Such a shame. I did talk a bit here and there in Osaka and all are friendly and realy want to try to talk.

  41608. I know it's the stereotype for American families to say I love you a lot (and I'm sure it's true a good amount of the time), but there are some of us who don't. My dad has told me he loves me one time in my entire life and he was so embarrassed he apologized for saying it a few minutes later 😅. My family almost never says I love you, but we do hug when saying goodbye

  41609. To look like a russian woman is a big compliment. I'm very sure your roots are somewhere in Russia 😘

  41617. Your video reminds me of when I went to Itsuku Shima (AKA Miya jima). I caught the train to Hiroshima and as soon as I stepped out of the train station I was greeted by university students offering free English maps and free information. Like you said, they really wanted to practice their English speaking skills. It was one of the friendliest places I visited in Japan. On that trip I didn't attract that much attention. I think the most attention I got was in the first few years of living in Japan. I worked in a hotel located in Nasu Kogen - I think I was the only western man living in the area (there was a Vietnamese Australian working there too). Lots of school kids would say hello. Back then I had a full head of hair and it was light brown and fluffy. I heard lots of people refer to my hair as rabbit hair (usagi no kami). I think you get a lot more attention if you have light hair and blue eyes... as you stand out.

  41650. Those commentators were trash. You beautiful and have better teeth than me haha. And being a Japanese language learning I know the tremendous amount of work and dedication it must of took to not only learn that but 2 additional foreign languages. You should be proud to do that and all you have experienced and done. And to make and create edit and do content for YouTube is a lot also. Don’t listen to the haters when you have touch so many that support you

  41657. Is there a big difference in reaction from China town in America, to a market in China (or whatever other asian country you are in)? My initial instinct would be that when you are in the country which language you are speaking, there would be a few more reactions like this, than if you went to china town in America. But I might be very wrong there.

  41678. Dear Oriental Pearl, a thought: you created an affluence of subscriptions with similar types of videos. if you change to another type of video, I suggest you continue doing the same type of videos while also doing a new type. i liked that commend about 'don't vent here'. and yes, your vids help.

  41700. When I was at Tsutsujigaoka Park in Sendai a young couple with a baby stroller got up from the park bench and walked away leaving there phones and belongings behind. When I realised what they had done I quickly got up and picked up the belongings and gave chase to return them. They were so grateful. I noticed other people at the park watching me and I think they were so surprised that a foreigner had done the right thing, as I do. Great videos. Cheers.

  41726. Finnish has very regular pronunciation. English is actually a nightmare with all those different vowel sounds that basically do not follow any standard rules at first sight. A beginner who does not know either Finnish or English will master Finnish pronunciation about hundred times faster than the English one.

  41744. Good topic, more power to Beni for weathering her environment. Several comments about her accent being "American", but to me there are different accents throughout the USA - Northeast, mid-east, mid-west, west coast, Texas, southeast, etc. I think Beni made the right choice to remain in Japan. Stay away from the US, it's only going to get worse before it gets better. It's a matter of heart - small and threatening, big and welcoming. Some of my impressions - observed on TV, behavior of Korean spectators towards Japanese ice skaters at the winter Olympics. Via video, behavior of tourists from China in Japan. Heard about - the "ugly American" in Europe. Respect culture understand "humanity", and governments should acknowledge and apologize for past heinous behavior. I scanned about 100 comments and only found one semi-negative one.

  41746. Thanks for the realistic video! Yeah these people were trying to carve out a living on the thinnest of margins. Being surprised that you're blonde and blue eyed and speak Chinese is probably not their highest priority of the day as they try to support and feed families at home. Again thanks for the realistic perspective on these YouTube videos!

I had a similar conversation with my boyfriend, and sent him links of videos of people claiming to be polyglots, like 10 languages etc. He speaks several languages himself, i think he's a legit polyglot, and we agreed that some of these polyglots speak on a very basic level and use super simple words.

  41778. Hey Anming! I know recently you were worried with the subscribers reactions to your different types of videos. You said people seem to enjoy the chinese/japanese reaction videos more. Here is an Idea, I found Frankie's channel, and what he does is that during the videos, he cuts in and do some very quick teaching about a very useful sentence or expression we have just heard in the video. I think this is a brilliant idea that you should explore! video ID NvQjulWcEmU if you want to see an example

  41786. Hey I watched your video on language schools... I'm seriously considering going to study Japanese for a year or longer....what do you think of perhaps a language school in Okinawa? If not where else other than what you already recommended do you think? Perhaps the perfect weather and beaches will satiate my annoyance with a language school haha. I've been looking at ICLC language school... and figured id shoot for your opinion on it...

  41792. Your Japanese is good. The real problem is you’re only talking with that guy so you don’t know how people in the sticks respond. The honest truth is it’s expected. If you can’t speak Japanese then you’re a tourist

  41793. It was nice to "meet" your friend Akaki-san. I'm interested in what they're doing right in the Finnish education system. I'd like to visit there one day. And now I know one word, sauna. I don't know how far that will get me. 😅Keep drinking your red bull and pumping out videos.

  41794. I remeber when you first started on YT ... you're doing amazing !! congrats .
    1
  41795. I think it becomes more annoying when you live there. Maybe a tourist who is studying Japanese or doing a home stay sees it as more of a compliment but if you are living there you feel more like a local and it feels weird to be complimented for speaking the language of where you live. There are people who don't learn the language even after moving but I don't feel like speaking Japanese in Japan is a huge achievement or whatever random compliments I'd get. I think it kinda stops over time as your language skills improve but now and again people will say something., most of the time people don't mean anything by it other than being surprised you're putting the effort in to learn language.

  41802. My biggest fear was of how ridiculous I’d sound in Chinese, but in reality, probably the most accommodating people I’ve ever met. It’s funny how is so scary to face the new, but once you get in you realize “Oh wait, these people are happy I’m trying, they ain’t making fun of me, they’re being awesome”. But is hard for a lot of people to go and say Hi, Tinder is there as a living proof 😂😂

  41805. Heyy omg just found your youtube channel and is great!! I'm a dropout 28 years old, but i'm thinking to go to Fudian or Tongji in Shanghai to study the language and maybe later do undergrad. You think is possible? I noticed that for undergrad some schools allow to be max 25 year old however after a good level of HSK it might be possible? I'm also love both China and Japan, so I'm completely amazed by finding your youtube. I'm sure we can meet at sometime in the future since I hope our paths of china/jp might cross too. Thank you!

  41812. Did you notice that when Royce started to speak French he kind of had to re-set his face and mouth muscle? That reminded me of what my wife said years ago about her face aching when she spoke French after not speaking it much for a long time (she's a francophone). What language makes your face ache more? Japanese or Chinese? :-)

  41818. You are such a bright personality! So likeable :) And well done with your studies. I am just even more discouraged now, as which regular adult has 6 hours a day to study a language? Next to full-time working there are a lot of other chores to take care of. No wonder that all I can do after 2,5 years of mandarin is reading up to HSK 4 but not building a proper spoken sentences, let alone pronunciation. Guess for me it will take 30 years :D. Still I feel brought for you :)

I hope the being stranded in Japan at this point isn't gonna be too much of a problem for you. I like your positivity and your winning character.

  41823. I was also very shy. I think I'm a bit better at being social now but i wouldn't call myself an extrovert 😭 I really tried breaking out of my shell for college but I have to unfortunately draw the line at stopping random strangers on the street 😭 definitely not ready for that yet. i think i'd forget the language

  41865. Just want to say, if you are in the mood and the Japanese people are also, you can have in a way a 30minutes conversations with no japanese speaking person (but seem to understand some word) and a really beginner english speaking japenese person.. I had great time in Kyoto because of that...
    1
  41866. Finally a good example of someone reliable telling the truth about being fluent in 30 days. I learned Vietnamese about 4 words a day and few hours a day in total for the last 2,5 years. If one day I will try to sell you course how to be fluent in 30 days just make a diss video on how big scammer I’am. Thank you for a little bit of true in this madness full of quick fluency courses scams :)

  41874. When you were speaking to the Japanese clerk at the Baskin Robbins, you said ありがとう ございます, but you didn't pronounce the "s" in desu. Is there a reason for this? I moved to Japan recently and I notice that many service workers leave off the "s."

    1
  41879. I just can't get enough of these videos, I don't know why. Something about Americans shocking people born and raised in Asian with their native tongue just makes the perfect type of content. Don't stop Pearl, your channel is getting bigger and bigger and there are endless opportunities out there. I would suggest you thinking about trying Twitch one day, live streaming platform where you can do exactly this but in a live format . There are people with half your ability going around Asian countries doing what you are doing in these videos and making so much money just from Twitch alone.

  41880. Very interesting and great interview.

  41882. Do you feel more comfortable speaking Chinese or Japanese?
    1
  41883. I barely speak Cantonese as a first gen American. I heard you say Kai Wan Xiao which I just found out meant joking. When my mom said it growing up, I thought she was using some sort of English idiom she picked up along the way saying "car on sale". As in, you must be kidding me trying to sell me a faulty lemon!

  41884. I was waiting on the prank and then everything just quickly changed and escalated quickly..lol I was worried when they started pulling you around to take pictures.

  41886. I'm Chinese American and I appreciate your channel as a listening and learning tool for mandarin. I was raised speaking a little canto and studied one semester in Wuhan years ago and forgot a lot. Hard pass on the writing though haha. Thanks for the channel. Subbed and liked.

  41887. Your Chinese intonation is spot on!

  41900. You inspired me to learn Japanese

  41901. You should have asked those people from Fujian if they were 客家, but then again that's a little personal of a question. My Mandarin has really started to disappear ever since the pandemic started and I've been going out less. Not that I ever really committed to my studies because I never knew how long I'd be staying here. But, now that the school year is over I can leave Beijing and fly home to the UK.

  41902. nah this channel too wholesome. happy for you!
    1
  41903. Change the view. How do you think are the foreigners treated in countries like germany with mainly "white" population. Even people in the second generation (having a german passport) are treated like foreigners. Some ask them out of naive curiosity where their origins are from others due to their obsession with ethnical order. The same uneducated and mindless questions appear in America and Europe, too! It is just that we (the white people) ask those questions and do those comments. And we don't seem to understand, until we are put into the same difficult emotional spot. As long as we have so many Nationalists in every country. Who imprint the bullshit of outsiders and as long as we are not able to be aware of our psychology to stereotype (ancestral behaviorism and back then helpful for fight, flight or freeze) we feel estranged to another. Which can be a spiral downwards. If we get aware of that Neanderthal feeling, today we have the chance to hop over it and give the other person a second chance. Thats what makes us humans. We are not there yet. It will take more than your or my lifetime to reach the goal . But someone has to start it. The Best can't choose their place. I see myself as an ambassador to change that. I don't ask humans where they are from. I take a look how they behave towards other humans. And I look at their character. If I have a chance I ask them how they got their opinion/knowledge. Sometimes I ask them questions and it is the first time they really start thinking about the topic. And from time to time I see a little spark in their eyes. Then I know I passed it on. If it helps to make other Humans lifes less miserable I am happy. Lets rather find a common ground in basic topics like (for example) weather, job, education, worries, celebrations, architecture. Things, that unite us in daily life. With Covid19 we all (all over the world) have and share the same hopes and fears. Lets be aware of it and make it a base to put on more common ground of understanding each other even better. 😀

  41918. I'm very familiar with this. I hate when I'm talking crap about someone and they understand my language! 😁😋 Joking aside, it's important to approach these situations with positivity. Most folks are just talking out of curiosity and mean no harm, so it's a cool opportunity to interact with them.

  41926. Jessica has been a real inspiration for me, for someone whos been in love with japan since 2015. I been trying to learn everything I can about the culture and language (watching your videos help with that lol), and I would really like to live there one day. Japan culture has also really influence me as a person over the years and sometimes my parents will point it out that I'm not acting like a "true American". Although, I'm kind of happy about being they way that I am, but I know that the people of the internet hates people for loving a country different from their own wanting to be apart of a culture that they weren't born in to. I do understand that in a sense, but its not like I'm abandoning my other culture for the other, I still love America (even with its flaw, but every country has that). I don't know if I'm even making sense anymore lol so to sum it up, Jessica is very inspiring for me. (I also love your videos! And I hope your have a good day)

  41941. Sanya is a famous area for economically poor elder people. When I first got a driver license, a lot of people warned me not to wander into this area. Maybe, they came to Tokyo in early 60s from rural areas to earn money. At that time, there were lots of daily jobs inTokyo, like road or building constructions. Nowadays, JPN and local goverment gives a decent amount of welfare pkg if you are homeless. But you have to accept regular interviews (in most case they are monthly) from welfare public officers and have to work if physically possibe. Homeless ppl don't want to work and prefer to be homeless. That's a problem.

  41966. I'm crying rn........I actually started my journey in learning Nihongo last April, I studied til' August I was happy because I mastered Hiragana and Katakana and a substantial amount of vocabularies then one time I lost my motivation to continue on learning it. For September to December I forgot most of the vocabularies and forgot most of my Katakana luckily I still got my Hiragana.....butttt I regret that decision cause I just wasted my time and effort on April to August. I was and am frustrated for stopping..... But thank you for this video, I was quite motivated to learn again because of the way you speak Nihongo! Hope I won't loose my motivation once again🤧😞
    1
  41967. Hi! I'd like to say a big than you. I like your channel very much. I've been learning Japanese on my own since Oct. 2019. Can I ask you something? Sorry, it's unrelated to this video. How do you study vocab? In sentences, expressions, single words... or both? And do you use Anki? If you reply, thank you! I really like your style, you're a honest person, and a great motivation. I hope you'll do lots of videos in the future. :-)

  41993. Well, lost internet so only saw this video on 9th. I intentionally fell out of perfectly good airplanes a few times, but never did a tandem jump. The hardest part was climbing out onto the wheel struts while holding on to wing strut and then pushing off. They just hold the drogue chute the first few times. I've used my bad Japanese a few times while traveling in Japan. I want to go and take between three to six months mostly conversational Japanese course. So that I have to basically operate in Japanese 24/7. I had planned to go in 2021 but hadn't decided on school or location as I'm no longer interested in qualifications but just want the enrichment and experience of living in Japan. I jumped out of perfectly good planes trusting that the ram air chute would allow me to fly to the ground and I'm still here. Hopefully by next year things will be a little more open and I can figure out where to go. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Enjoyed the video, obviously the analogy spoke to me.

I love the content of this, it gives me motivation to keep learning Japanese, my reading and listening is great but my speaking is completely terrible I never know where to find a great platform to practice speaking but videos like your content helps articulate how to use it in conversation!

  41997. Ahhh great ! Wow now that I know a little more about what you are about I must say “ well done young woman” I have much respect for what you are about and here you are not sugar coating how hard proficiently in a language is ! Tell it like it is ! Personally I have taken up teaching myself “ conversational Mandarin “ I’m 68 so given my old brain I will be happy to be able to do that 😎 and thank you for not belittling those who want to learn as a hobby 💐. For sure the act of using the language is so important as I am Irish and was taught Galige at school but I’ve been in Australia for 45 years and had no opportunity to use it so I’ve now forgotten most of it 😳. Thank you so much for continuing to do these videos and if I can make one suggestion, that is lower the music in the background because it was hard to hear the “ tone” use 😎. Stay safe ,stay well 🖖

  42000. Hi Anming, great video, thanks. That guy is amazing with 7 languages. They should change the word Polyglot to Polyglutton for him, LOL. You are sounding as impressive as ever of course and what a cool time on the little square puzzle. I think you secretly have one of those, LOL. Also nice to see you upload a video at a sensible time, instead of you staying up into the small hours, LOL. Looking forward to your next video as usual...

  42028. Thank you for you Philanthropy, we need more people like you helping others like these Japanese forced to be fringe dwellers. When I visit, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, I see a lot of this, always near cities, the country people the further out you go, who never see a shop, can live quite well from subsistance, 1 cow, a few chooks land to grow food. Keep up the great work you are doing, 😊.
    1
  42029. This should be split into two categories, how Japanese people react to White foreigners and how Japanese people react to brown people. The reactions are Worlds Apart.
    1
  42030. people also fail to mention that language learning never ends- you need to keep up with the languages you know..
    1
  42031. This is the video that had be out there already! I couldn't agree more with you guys. A lot of these youtubers are just scams and you don't have to be a genius to be aware of that. You see they post these videos where they speak with multiple ethinicities in their languages and shoot their reactions but when you start to watch other videos of him/her the conservations are just all the same! They simply memorise the bloody same dialogues for all other languages they claim to speak and use them over and over again. It takes YEARS to be an advanced speaker, and you have to be very confident in yourself to claim that you speak a certain language otherwise you are just deceiving people. Learning a language is not a simple activity it is a real deal and those youtubers in my opinion only care about the numbers not the quality. Lastly a language is a whole new world and a life time journey and it cannot be squeezed into a couple of months in that sense we should just keep going and learn something new everyday without feeling disappointed with our level, keep your chin up ! 😊💪💪💪💪💪💪

  42035. This is fascinating. I hope you two get together in person some day. 🙏🏾 (in china)
    1
  42036. So can you help us/me to learn chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese) the same way you speak with the tones and inflection. Most of the teachers here will not really follow through and teach very very basic and leave it at that. I would like to learn but with a very willing teacher that will follow through with teaching and respect. would you like to help?
    1
  42037. Please if you like Anming suscribe! 🥺 I always come here to comment and like your videos because I want you to be able to keep doing them. I liked this one because you talked about change, and changing is so, so hard specially if it's a mindset but you did it! And turned it into something great that we all enjoy. Thank you Anming!

  42044. I almost tried riding one because of the cute Rickshaw guy last February but got intimated with the language. lol

  42045. The school should have provided you with at least two aides, and parents should have chaperoned on your fieldtrip. To be honest some of those kids looked like the students from hell!!😲

  42058. I love you this was a great video and so true! Please don’t stop! This is inspirational
    1
  42059. Those people are just jealous. I think your videos are very entertaining and heartwarming (especially the christmas video where you were handing out candy) and if someone doesn't like that content, why don't they just ignore your channel? You don't even hurt anyone you even show people that it isn't that hard to talk to people. These haters should take their rage and point it at channels that are really nasty, for example those channels that pour hundreds of aquatic animals in a tank just to make money. Also: Are channels reacting to or commenting on other YouTubers very creative with their content? I don't think so. Do they just spread the the thought on mocking people instead of being happy for them is okay? I guess so.

  42062. I worked for Michigan State's grounds department and did quite of bit of gardening. I'm fascinated with botany and wanted to attempt a Bonsai but I've heard too many horror stories. Do you know anyone that's into it? Having conquered multiple languages that you have, I shouldn't allow a plant to be too much of a challenge to me..
    1
  42063. i find the shock videos very entertaining and they tend to have an unplanned side effect of creating unity amongst different cultures instead of the rampant division that is so prevalent today.
    1
  42064. I always enjoy your videos, my first thought was if I were to respond to an Asian speaking English with the same reply as young English is good, it would appear kind of ethnically condescending and maybe rude depending on the context.
    1
  42065. I feel I'm too smart to fall for those "gurus" who claim you can learn in x amount of days. But I've definitely bought things like Rosetta Stone in the past and felt it didn't work or I just didn't try enough... Good discussion!

  42070. This was Amazing! It reminds me of when you see people in Britain reacting to Gaelic in Public, Everyone is so surprised by Britons Speaking their Native language, It's just assumed that English is Britain's mother Tongue. I remember being asked where I was visiting from and what Language I was speaking when i was at My Local Corner Shop lol. Even Some Irish and other Scots aren't even aware of their own language, mostly in the Border lands. It's always amusing when Tourists assume you are also a tourist because you aren't speaking English, especially in Rural Areas. Most Scots and Irish speak two Languages from Childhood, Gaelic at home or with Friends and English at work or in Public, Similar to Ethnic communities in America.

  42071. Korea is big on Confucian virtues like humility and duty. In the beginning I tried sitting at a desk ,away from my host family, in the other room, and cramming it into my brain.....until dizzy. But it didn’t work. You absolutely must get out in the marketplace with the basics, you now have, and be prepared to make mistakes and have people laugh at them, especially the poor pronunciation.Force yourself not to be offended. Koreans laugh with you more than at you.. Mimicking what you hear will be a big help. When it comes to grammar, you already have the word order and the inflections..., it’s very close to Japanese. And, your immense cache of Chinese vocabulary words will help you with the transition, by just learning the Korean pronunciation , e.g. xuexiao to hakkyo...Beijing to Bukyung, zhunbei to chunbi,etc. Stay with it, and you will find the Korean people very kind and warmhearted.

  42101. I want to cry. I have my little sister in the US army in Texas and we are actually from Paraguay but since we have double nationally (North American and Paraguayan) she decided long time ago to leave the country and join the Army. I really miss her, she has two kids that I never met. I worry about her situation over there and I know she worries about us, specially because of my mom having two surgeries and she was very ill. In Paraguay we take very seriously this.. You know what... Or at least I do, I have kids and I take care of my mom and dad. Sending love all the way from Paraguay!

  42107. Cool video. I wish I spent more time in environments where only my target language is spoken by others around me. I have to immerse myself through reading, podcasts and videos.
    1
  42108. Great Video! What an intelligent young woman, and an excellent role model. That was one of the most interesting videos I have watched in a while, with so much information to think over and glean. Her points about culture and general differences to the UK and America were great, I had to re-watch that part. I would've loved to hear more about what she thinks about the UK specifically, but I would assume her brother might have a more current memory and holistic view of that. Once again, great video, I hope I find more of your videos recommended to me in the future!

  42109. Congratulation!!!

  42117. That is a fantastic video, thank you so much! You and JJ are so intelligent and articulate, I wish our ruling politicians had a fraction of your insight and clarity. In my own country, Wales, the speaking of Welsh is a joy to preserve the old language but has to fight a number of odd prejudices which you touched upon..... Well done on your part though, as noted, your video was fab'!

  42118. Lol right now I'm studying japanese for absolutely no reason- I literaly just said imma learn a language ans my friends said ok me too and they are learning Korean and Russian

  42119. your adventure is indredible i would like one like that i liked the video n_n

  42120. It's all about sensationalism, the platform is of course suited for this. A broad but shallow exposure is much more attractive than a deep dive into a more specific subject. And of course, as Matt said there are diminishing returns. Like in everything else it's easy to get to a reasonable level, but to make jump in quality take much more effort, with the downside that the difference then is much less visible. Also, as you mentioned, people that, on average have more knowledge, are probably not as interested in "advertising" it (on Youtube or anywhere else). The good thing about all these flashy channels is how they can inspire people. The problem is that few are honest....and it can be very hard for the general viewer, who likely doesn't have a clue about what he/she is watching, to discern how much is legitimate or valuable.

  42142. Hey Anming, I just wanted to say that the reddit 4000 yen thing was probably just a gag relating to that subreddit. In reality, you probably don’t have enough reddit karma to reply, and the server has set the moderator text to something relating to Japan - Yen!

  42149. Oriental Pearl: VERY INTERESTING VIDEO! talking about Japanese culture and language, they are innately intertwined and inseparable from one another. In order to speak the language correctly, it is necessary to learn about Japanese culture. However because the culture is so distinct and there are so many aspects which are difficult for foreigners to understand, it often times seems shrouded in mystery. By breaking down various aspects of culture and studying them individually, we can gain insight into the culture as a whole and how the language is spoken correctly. Chinese may be the same. Cheers from Alexandria, VA

  42150. Cultural exchange alway nice.

  42151. What a great day even with the rain and your family not their you both had smiles and had a great time. You both bought sunshine to a cloudy day. Cheers and hope to see your family and Tommy in the USA:)

  42158. Congratulations!!! If you do decide to go to the US, don’t worry too much about English. I used to live in Southern California. I had to speak more Japanese there than in Tokyo. We had a Japanese bank for our loans (lowest rates ever). We had several Japanese schools to choose from for our children and several Japanese community centers. The Japanese mall was close by for shopping. My wife and I worked at Japanese companies.There are NHK TV and radio channels. It was easy to live there and never feel too much pressure to speak English. So don’t worry too much about living in the US without strong English skills. There are plenty of jobs too. This could be said the same for Hawaii, Seattle, WA or Portland,OR.

  42163. THANK YOU for this video!!! People really need to understand that things aren’t perfect when you’re traveling and working. I’ve traveled in Asia and South America, and I’ve had scary situations almost every time. In Bali, I got food poisoning that ended up being typhoid. It struck on the day I was supposed to fly home, and I was so sick, I ended up on the do not fly list. I had to stay an extra week. The silver lining was how unbelievably kind the Balinese people were to me. They took care of me like family at my home stay. I will never forget their kindness. I also worked and lived in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, which was at once terrifying, frustrating and exhilarating. I got sick with tonsillitis one day and couldn’t find a clinic who would treat me. I ended up going to the pharmacy and getting medicine from them. There were also times that my roommates and I had to hide in our apartment to avoid gunshots. I’ve run into scary and violent situations in Rio as well, including having to break up a fight between 2 grown men. Despite all of these situations, I wouldn’t change a thing. These experiences made me a stronger person. I love your channel! You’ve really inspired me to continue my language learning!!

  42165. I’m a car enthusiast so Japan has always been my dream place to live seeing as I know more about their car culture and history, however I am unable to form a complete sentence in Japanese so I feel as though it would be extremely difficult for me to start a life in, for example, Tokyo, Tochigi or Yokohama. Any tips for someone like me trying to achieve that dream?

  42168. Talking with the Chinese ladies about the cake, you mention learning Chinese for 8 years. How long for Japanese? Was the studies concurrent or one after the other? Really nice when you can switch between languages, seemingly effortless. I knew Spanish at one time years ago where I could speak easy enough I didn't have to think too much about what I wanted to say. That'll come for any language when studying/using long enough. if there's a video that answers the questions, I'll be happy to be directed to it. Enjoying your videos.

  42184. Be careful of yourself. As for scammers, as you know, unfortunately scammers are everywhere involving China, the mainland, abroad, online and wherever. I have dodged scammers who tried to scam me in China for many times while many kind Chinese people helped me on the other hand. As for trolls, be careful of yourself. I won’t joke about this and try to be just serious about that. Now, trolls hired by their government were very active online by the direction of employer to influence the world in pro China because now is the most politically sensitive time about China around the world Any videos which are not so political at all can be their targets as far as it involves China. They are not just nationalistic fan boys to their country. Anywhere involving China is on fire now. For example see the comment sections of Sky News Australia or 周庭 channel, they were like war fields For more information, check out serpentza. This and coming years would be the hardest time to the world in many way. Even if you are not interested in politics and just want to live normal life, more or less you can get involved in some kind of politics to some extent as far as you are involved with China. I would like to advice you to just keep on declaring, for yourself, that you are not interested in politics but only in cultural exchanges. I am sure some big changes will happen but can’t tell what. The war has already begun even though ‘war’ does not always mean military things.

  42190. It's always great to be able to communicate to people in different languages around the world. I speak next to my mother tongue German also English, Hebrew, French and Norwegian. With Mandarin, Japanese and Korean you are able to communicate to many more people. Funny though how you're almost always mistaken for being Russian.
    1
  42191. Thank you, so much, Anming, for putting in the time and effort into these videos. This one hits home for me. I agree, so much, with this, in so many levels, you have no idea. I am native in Spanish by birth and have lived in the U.S for over 20 years now, pending graduation from my University. I would never dare to say that my English proficiency is native simply to avoid arguments over semantics, since I've actually been told that it could not possibly be "native", not having been born there and all. However, I can't help but be annoyed at the logic behind it. I have lost count at how many times I am actually the individual who ends up correcting everyone else's grammatical/syntactical errors around me. Though, I do understand this has a lot to do with my environment. Do I make mistakes? Of course! Nevertheless, I am certainly not making novice (at least, what I call novice for a "native") mistakes like: incorrections in conjugations, contractions, misspelling, the inability to infer through context (which for me, actually, goes even beyond language but into the psychological aspects of "listening", but I digress). So, how does it come about that a "native" can make so many obvious mistakes? Well, perhaps, because it is assumed that when an individual is born in a such a country his or her language proficiency to the mother tongue is going to be "native", implying that it will be advanced. I will admit, anyone who speaks in such a way can certainly be called native, but to be native is not in itself to speak fluently. Now, how is it possible that there can exist native non-fluent individuals? Easy. The exact same way there are foreign professionals (such as yourself and the gentleman in the video, I might add) using their second, third or even fourth language: commitment to the craft. It is a sad reality when someone can be native and yet not be fluent, which I think exists in every country. So, what am I saying? What I am trying to say is that, I believe, proficiency is a derivative of commitment. I see no difference in the individuals whom truly realized their language goals: they all simply did what they had to do with what they had in order to get there. That's why I think it does not matter WHAT WE DO as long as WE DO IT. (Capital letters must be read in the Billy Mays voice). Anyway, I will end the rant here. Jeje. I am very happy I have found your channel. Truly. It definitely inspires me to continue my journey with Japanese; I am, actually, getting ready to take the JLPT N5 this July. I'm so nervous but yet so excited! Thank you, once again, for all your hard work, Anming Sama.

  42203. Chinese or Japanese are two of the most difficult languages for a native English speaker to learn according to the US government and their military language department. To qualify for their 84 week Chinese course, which consists of 6 hours a day class instruction and 2 hours of homework daily, you must score in roughly the 97 percentile. I was a German linguist. My hat is off to you ma'am.

  42210. I feel it's almost respectful to learn the language you want to live in before you move there. Most english speakers don't even try to even understand the language or learn the basic greetings. Even if you are going to Japan for a vacation trip, I feel you should understand the customs before you go, otherwise you might embarrass yourself and/or offend someone. I feel that's why most people in Japan are surprised that you took the time to learn and speak their language.

  42213. Love the birds cawing in the background. Actually made me feel like I wasn't wearing headphones listening to a youtube video. I must say though, the snowman building and touching the snow did make me laugh, since you were verbally saying it was too cold. All I could think is okay, and I'm the one who doesn't wear a jacket with a short sleeve shirt in 40F weather, most days, because it's beautiful out. Playing with snow for 5 to 10 mins is about my cold limit, depending on how much I'm working. I think the last time I worked out in the snow around 28F and had to take my jacket off, thankfully I only was wearing jeans for pants and no snow pants, because I was overheating/sweating. That's probably the last thing most people would do at that temp. I just laugh about it now, because I remember thinking to myself, OMG I'm like an anime monster or superhero. lol I had a literal heat/steambank pouring off of me and I kept it going for about 2 hours. Great workout/chore duty completed that day, but boy oh boy do some people freak out when they see no jacket on at those temps. I guess I was suppose to stay bundled up and just flop over from the heat. haha. Anyways, love the videos and it's always fun to watch them.

  42216. I love watching your videos and I was really looking forward to seeing this one. Awesome video as always. Being Japanese American, it's an added benefit understanding both languages, but I wish I put in more of an effort learning the language when I had the opportunity. Your Japanese is so much better than mine.

  42218. Its a very interesting culture difference I noticed. I speak decent Korean and understand it more than I can reply. When I visited for a week (Im a tallish white woman), I caught quite a few people talking about me. I never heard anything overtly bad, they just commented on my hair or my eyes, wondered where I was from, wondered why I was visiting. Only rude thing I heard was "a little fat" lol. But I guess I am compared to them. They talked well within earshot, which surprised me, but I never felt like replying. It's funny hearing you call these people out for their gossip 😂.

  42222. I have some japanese friends and they're very cool, friendily and helpful. I can't understand why others youtubers say so badly things about japanese people, really. For example: a friend of mine came to my country with his wife, so we had a few beers and went to a Nippo fest in a nearby city. Then, we talked about samurais and templars, cultural and religious differences between Nihon and Brazil. A few years later, I met with some japanese singers in Youtube, they're so kind and helpful too, one of them had traslanted lyrics to me with a large smile on his face. I want to know: why are so many youtubers saying horrible things about Japanese people?

  42228. One of your best videos. Seems less YouTubie than others. Less formulaic. I know there are a lot of Chinese “influencers” who make HEAPS of money online but this felt straight from the heart. Maybe one day, you will find yourself in a diplomatic position. That would likely also come with some culture shock.

I have a friend whos chinese, she lived in shanghai for years and once told me that even in big cities like shanghai she has seen people ask for a photo with a foreigner, and she was embarassed to tell me that as she has since lived in london and paris. As we discussed "imagine if i just stopped someone cus they were asian and asked for a photo with them in london" lol that would be so strange. i dont know about korea but this doesnt happen in big cities in japan lol. china really have a unique culture haha

  42240. My worst travel / visa story is from 20 years ago. My fiance (who is Indonesian) and I planned a wedding in Malta around something called Direct Consular Filing. We had about 40 people from the US and a dozen from Indonesia come to Malta. But just before our wedding they cancelled the Direct Consular Filing program at the US Embassy in Jakarta, so after we got married we had to live apart for 8 months to work out a K3 visa. My concern today is that some people here are with insurance being charged $2,000 for a corona virus test. Since 50% of America has no insurance or extremely high deductibles, I think there are a lot of people who will avoid testing and treatment. And many people have zero sick days or time off and require a doctor's note for unpaid sick leave, so I think most people will go to work even if sick. I think the virus will not be very compatible with our health care system / employment system. I'm so happy for you that things worked out!!

  42259. Love your perspective. I'm bilingual and learned English and Tamil from a very young age. I think even knowing the basics can help you navigate different parts of the world. Being able to have a conversation is great. It really depends on your goal. I'm a native Tamil speaker but my writing in Tamil is not the best yet I am still able to speak to my family, watch Tamil cinema, read albeit slowly, have deep conversations. I think learning a new language can certainly open doors for you, but how far you want to go is entirely up to you.

I enjoy watching the 5 or 6 YouTuber polyglots and it motivates me to want to expand my very limited foreign language skills. After 27 years in the US Navy I only know how to ask to find bars and where the women hang out in multiple languages? LOL

  42278. Hey hey im not sure if you will answer but how do you learn japanese like words? Not the letters but words? Because im having problem with that on japanese and Russian. Like I know how to read but knowing what that means iš the problem
    1
  42279. YES, THIS! I never belived those "you can speak 10 languages by studying for 15 minutes a day!" things. I'm fluent in 3 languages, but almost everyone under the age of 40 is trilingual, to various degrees, where I'm from because it's the law to learn 3 languagues to a high degree in school. It's on the Faroe Islands, and we start with Faroese in 1st grade, Danish in 3rd grade and English in 4th grade. I would say I'm an above average language student; I pick up grammar, in particular, relatively fast. But it literally takes YEARS to be really proficient in a language; especially the spoken language, if you want to be accent-free (in the languages I've studied). I was fully proficient in Danish (and English) when I moved to Denmark in 2009. I could read/write it and understand the spoken language very well, but it's insanely difficult to speak. I didn't have a lot of training in speaking it with native Danish speakers, so I had a pretty heavy accent and started getting stressed and forgetting certain words etc. in official settings. I've been here for almost 12 years now, and now I barely have an accent, but it's still there, and certain astute people can still hear it. This level of "nativeness" I have in Danish is solely because of my (Danish) BF/partner - he doesn't understand my native languague, so we speak Danish all the time. He only speaks Danish, English and German. We "only" have Danish and English in common. As for English - I have almost no practice speaking with English natives, but my spoken English is pretty good, because it's an easier languague for me to speak - it has similar sounds to my native language. I mostly have trouble with the "th" sounds in English. I'm currently learning German, and my (Danish) BF speaks German fluently, so I can practice with him, which helps a lot. I'm really aiming at being fluid in 4 languages at some point. Learning a language is no joke, it takes years of dedication; especially if you aren't immersed in it on a daily basis!

  42292. Isn't more the case that Japanese people tend to prevent social awkwardness? They will rattle off the usual patterns when they meet someone new, and not be inquisitive when the other person seems awkward, or not fluent in Japanese. Just so they don't have to steer into new territory and make themselves look stupid or awkward.

Thank you for this video; I'm learning Japanese, and I will take your advices from your video because I really want to catch my goal (to be able to speak Japanese), the big problem for me is than I live in a country where there is not a lot of Japanese, so it's very hard for my to make Japanese friends.

  42298. You are very good at the languages - very interesting !

  42299. How do you compare Chinese and Japanese ?

  42303. I don't know for the American standard, but for me you are pretty, especially when i look at your heart. But you talk realllly !! so much ! with everyone you meet. I could never do that, i'm way to shy. In a way i admire you for that ! You remember me my father, who used to be like that also. I remember my mother who kept telling him: "Why do you talk to those strangers ? Let them alone, they don't want you to talk to them" Haha ! 😂
    1
  42304. The comments are great. I'm Japanese, but I hope people won't be disappointed when they come to Japan. I am worried. If you are young, please make young Japanese friends. They are friendly to foreigners.

  42305. You are super Best

  42306. Everything is so nice and clean. Obviously very safe. The people are very friendly. The weather looks perfect. You're wearing a very pretty dress. I really like your videos. Your honesty and humbleness says a lot about you. It would be a pleasure to meet you...if I ever won the lottery...lol. What part of Russia did you say you were from? That impression follows you everywhere. I usually start a conversation with a simple hello and a friendly smile. Works most times for me.

  42316. I’m trying to find easy korean grammar videos with translations idk why but that’s my main thing, I’ve watched so many TTMIK but wonder if there’s any other apps. I actually have Drops which is awesome you can learn so many languages but it’s kinda slow and mainly vocabulary so far😊 and that kill bill outfit is so awesome

  42319. Haters and trolls are always going to hate. They can just STFU. You and are friend are NOT the problem. You are a kind and gentle soul. Anyone that is friends with you I'm sure is the same. People with good moral character associate with people that are the same way. You are a riding star. I live in Chicago and the streets are empty and it feels weird. Please keep doing what you do. God bless you!!

  42327. I REALLY enjoy watching your videos & also Oriental Perl :) <3 I was thinking about you during a situation i've encountered when I was bowling & the people in the lane next to me were speaking Russian. Something happened & the mother got upset with her child, they had NO idea I could understand Russian. I waited a moment then started talking the LITTLE conversational Russian I knew. They were shocked & I'm sure a little embarrassed when they knew that I could understand them........ By the end of the night, we were all laughing & joking in both English AND Russian.

  42338. Oh no, haha you started to melt. What centigrade are we talking about? I understood pretty much all of spoken Mandarin and a little of Japanese, just like watching a movie. What rare dialect is that btw? Good luck to your hard earned progress on your languages journey. Also my impression is your spoken English has Japanese mannerism, unsurprisingly.

  42339. Oh I missed the live 😢 This was fun to watch. Congrats on 1 million- you deserve it! 🏆

  42344. I’m learning 4 languages at once — I know! It doesn’t make any sense to me either ( -__- ) but it is too late now and I like them all and also let me explain: - I grew up bilingual: 1. English (which is the official language in my country + tons of Hollywood movies + tons of American music), 2. Yoruba (which is my mother tongue and which we spoke at home) - English and Yoruba are very different and completely unrelated so I’m already comfortable with languages being totally different in structure and I have more structures to borrow from when connecting to other languages. - Yoruba is tonal like mandarin (which I am learning and was relatively easy for me to get into — especially the spoken part but writing is definitely hard) - English has shared roots with French which in turn is similar to Portuguese (so I’m learning French and Portuguese) - I got into Japanese about 2 months after I started learning mandarin (the shared Kanji helps a little I think) - I spend 2 hours covering 2 languages in the morning and another 2 hours covering 2 languages at night. I haven’t been to any of these countries (China, Japan, Brazil or France/Québec) but I’m looking to live in each country for a few months at a time (very soon!). Obviously, this is as a hobby but I do wish to be able to use them very well and feel at home using them not just for showing off every once in a while.

  42393. 2:30 Great work just curious is there not a Chinese word for 'storage'. Correction I just realised you were referring to the name of the shop on the other floor.
    1
  42394. 2:30 i know where that is... that's the Great Bear Sand Dunes in Michigan, i think. knowing that you were in Michigan helped with that guess. kekeke... frankly, it could be anywhere with dunes. camped at that state park, btw. or federal park? i studied in ann arbor. loved ann arbor. many good memories. anyway, did you mean .."never moved back" or "never moving back" in your video title... i was waiting for that part

  42445. In the Philippines, there are around 170 languages, not including the dialects. Most kids grow up learning to speak in at least 2 languages at home which are usually their local language and English. There are two official languages used in government and business: English and Filipino. Filipino is a language that was created and based on all the other languages and intended to be a common and unifying language in the Philippines, and so everyone learns it in school. Most subjects in schools are taught in English. The only subject taught in Filipino is...the Filipino language. I hated it and had difficulty learning it until I had a teacher who taught it using English. It was like a bulb turned on in my brain. Nowadays, it's probably easier for kids to learn Filipino because the most-used language in media and around the Philippines now is Tagalog which is what the Filipino language is heavily based on. (This kinda annoys many non-native Tagalog speakers.) My point is that although you are teaching English, I think it would be easier for students to learn if they allow you to teach it using Chinese.

  42446. I was completely into this video. Very interesting and fun. One of your best videos for now. Well done!

Once again you show the power of language that waitress in a minute was talking to you as if you were chinese , I don't know why they think you are russian you look very American to me, maybe they have a lot of Russian people over there?. I would love you to go to China and go into the rural areas and mix it up with the lets say less advantagious peeps, that would be wonderful and I bet you would blow their minds.

  42467. In a a previous video you mentioned about Japanese people not being close to their families, yet Japan has a very high life expectancy, that seems counter productive. Being you have spent time in japan, why you believe japanese have one of the highest life expectancy?
    1
  42468. It's funny how all these americans speaking chinese and/or japanese on Youtube nowadays somehow also adapt to the way the those two nationalities express themselves body and language wise. With the japanese being more timid and giggly and the chinese more direct and sometimes even a bit rude at first glance. I like these videos, don't get me wrong. But it sometimes is a bit too much when a person who deep inside knows he/she is fluent in a language gets complimented for his/her language skills, but instead of just humbly embracing the compliment for what it is he/she makes an even bigger deal out of it by saying i.e "no, its not that good". Anyway, making and filming unlikely interactions with foreigners in their native language and in that way crossing the language and cultural barriers is a really good thing and should of course be premiered. Keep up the good work! Ni hao!

  42487. You exude so much positive. Your boyfriend is to be envied. 😘 It's just fun watching your videos.
    1
  42488. You make so much unique content with angles that other YouTubers aren't doing. It's awesome. Also, props to this man for his convictions.

  42489. Greetings from Hawaii! Any chance for a part 2 to this video?!?

  42490. I love Chinese people because they are so supportive! If you say anything more than 你好 they start praising you. And when you're able to actually speak at this level their reaction is to give you free food :)
    1
  42491. I'm Kenyan and I genuinely didn't know they are homeless people in Japan. Great work, thank you for sharing.

  42492. Really good video. And so true.... people always think someone is talking about them.

  42493. You see the guy looking behind your back

  42494. "Everyone is different" AMEN! Loved it Anming! Man, you are SO CLOSE to your YouTube Button!!! (100K Subs) i am so proud to say i was here when you were under 4K :)
    1
  42495. Gosh!! You're lucky you can understand anime without any subs...
    1
  42496. I definitely see both sides of this. But I think normalizing white people speaking other languages is very important. Especially in America, we need the normalization of language learning. Also, when I go to south America, I hate having the "Oh wow you speaker Spanish so well!" Conversation. I just wana buy some fruit. I mean thanks but you should kind of expect people to know at least some of your language. If they don't, no biggy. But if they do, you speak it every day. What's the big deal if I speak it every day.

  42497. Both of the Japanese accents are actually really solid
    1
  42498. How do did you learn a second language what would be the best method on my own right now its just flash cards is there a faster way ?

  42499. Thankyou for this story ❤🙏🏼

  42500. The number of your potential subscribers = 1.5 billion English speaking people + 1.5 billion Chinese speaking people + 125 million Japanese speaking people + 3 billion cuteness loving people. i think those numbers are overlapping and total is close to 5 billion. i'm bad in math.

  42504. I’m Chinese and your Chinese is way better than mine. Damn it.. also you sound so cute speaking Japanese
    1
  42505. Cool! Yeah, summer is here :) Nice outfit, as always. And educational, nice and light. The facts at the end put the whole video in another perspective. One should learn Japanese. Stay Well Anming.

  42509. Wondering if you have a Q&A video about yourself? Am interesting in learning more about your road to Japan and China 😃
    1
  42510. I've been subscribed since like forever! I can't remember if it was 6k or 60k, but why I subbed was that I'd previously lived in Japan and I was in awe at your language skills (Mostly videos on Chinese at the time). Those that haven't subbed, do so!
    1
  42511. I'd really love to speak like you one day, you're really giving me hope with your videos. I'm so addicted to your channel :)

  42514. I swear more foreigners say 外人 instead of 外国人 while Japanese people mostly say 外国人 rather than 外人.

  42527. I lived in Japan in 1962-63. I didn't mingle with city people too much but I enjoyed the countryside (farmers, ect) I found they have a different way of looking at things, more laid back and relaxed. To this day I wonder how things have changed over the years.

  42528. Circuitous speaking and ambiguity. Sooo, basically like speaking to a woman. Hahaha jk jk =D

  42532. I'm a Mexican stuying 普通话 in Shenzhen I also studied in Beijing before. I have been in South Korea and Japan. South Korea (Seoul) I spoke mandarin to communicate with them (tourist area) it was okay however, Japan it was a whole different story if I had anything that showed some Han chinese Characters.. Damnnnn they looked not so comfortable.

  42544. As a super pale, blue eyed American guy I usually get at least somewhat shocked reactions when I start speaking Arabic. My customers will talk amongst themselves about what I’m selling. I’ll jump in and correct them or I’ll casually tell them the price in Arabic. It’s fun.

  42555. Anming , comparing clothing style from America to Japan. Are they similar or way different ? In the last 5-10 years, I have notice in America there are more braless women , is in Japan more conservative ? Have you encountered any "Karen's" ,Japanese people ?
    1
  42556. I was born in China and grew up there. I wish I had an English teacher from the US. Now I live and work in Michigan.

  42557. I love You introduce interesting people n friends to us. This video made me want to subscribe to your channel. Katie, I may say your best choise must be Japan. Old school and respect are the better options, in my opinion. Do You think things are changing for the bad in Japan atm? Is it harder to feel proud of your US roots, when You're hanging out with japanese friends? Looking forward to the follow up on today's video. :D

  42565. Prank idea: pretend that you are learning Chinese or Japanese in front of natives by making cheap mistakes in all kinds. Then when someone of natives get interested in seeing you learning, tell them that you are a fast learner. Then, after repeating your “newly” learned words or sentences with their help, switch directly to your fluent–native level. You can perform this prank in a variety of ways depending on context and which way suit you best. You can say for example that you have just visited China or Japan and that you learned the foreign language on your own and pretend that you are at the very elementary level with as many mistakes. Then pretend to be learning from them (new words etc), then switch to fluent level. Their reactions would be hilarious. Lol

  42566. I loooooovvvveeee your shocking people videos....it makes me want to learn more and I think is important if we show people it's possible to learn!!!!!!! for EVERYONE!! Keeping it real you amazing people! and you are forgiving the people who talk about you and then you open minds of the ones who are judging. good for you ... keep it up for those of us who love it!!!! You are opening the eyes and minds of those of us who are open to it. little conversations..? no.... all conversations and interactions are experiences and connections and enlightening!!! it's called AWAKENING.. to who we REALLY are... I WISH I had that... and I am WORKING on it... this helps! thank you guys! so appreciated!!! REALLY!!!! xoxoxoxox

  42569. 私が小さい時店の中で迷子になっていたそうで、その時外国の女性と一緒にいたと母から聞きました。その人の顔や雰囲気など、何も覚えてませんが言葉が通じないはずなのに、私は泣いてなかった覚えあります。怖がらずにいたのが自分でも不思議です。怖がるのもおかしいけど。笑 本当にしっかり覚えていたら、その外国の女性に会ってお礼言いたかったなぁ。

  42570. I was ready to leave Japan the next day. I parked my car with my backpack in the back under the seat. When I got back, 10 minutes later) the door had been broken and my ticket, passport and money were all gone. In those days your plane ticket was like cash and could not be replaced. I got an emergency passport for the embassy. Then I went to immigration. The officer gave we a full one year visa and asked if I would be willing to stay as I now was independent from any company. He introduced me to several part tine jobs that would have earned me 4 times what JET was paying. So the negative turned into a positive.

  42571. Making soba in the restaurant with an Okinawan instructor who speaks English. Okinawa has the largest United States military presence (70%)and active duty military(25,000 not including dependents) for being a tiny island in Japan. Okinawa was occupied by the US military until 1972. In other words, considered American territory. Sure, not as many people speak English today as in the PI but English speaking Okinawans are not uncommon.

  42579. AMAZING AND THE WAY JAPAN LOOK IS COOL

  42580. Forget anything about linguistic aptitude, to be culturally competent in any language (even those closely related) takes such an absurd amount of time as is. I also study Chinese and the amount of time I have spent reading history alone for the region probably is well more than enough to learn another language. I think, yes, true depth is extremely non-sexy, time consuming and offers little to no reward except the joy of learning itself. At the end of the day, Youtube is just the TV. And TV almost exclusively makes people stupider, more afraid and feeling insignificant (so they can buy the product which will fix their problems). It saddens me to see how this is affected language learning as well and, honestly, pretty much every aspect of the human experience. I guess it really is time to just turn of the TV... but, I think I will wait until COVID is over :) haha!

  42596. I get it...but it goes to show you all those years dedicated to learning has paid off. I would be elated if I could get to that level.

  42597. I have a subscription to japanesepod101.com, which is run by the same people. You're right, it really takes an investment of time. When I first started, I used to download all of the audio lessons and listen to them on my commute to work. It was a good way of spending my time in traffic, and that's when I improved the fastest. However, my company decided a couple of years ago to have it's programmers work from home, so I haven't really set aside the time that I need to study while I'm at home.

  42603. I think thats wonderful that you've grounded your faith and found someone who can share and respect how you were raised in the Catholic faith tradition. As a still young Baha'i, I have this view that marriage should join the participants in both body and spirit. Marriage as a divine institution and a most sacred and binding tie that should lead to a profound friendship of spirit. Dont let cultural and country standards pull you down in your beliefs. Wonderfully beautiful video.
    1
  42604. I love this video cause I'm trying to start a channel of my own, I hope in the future, you would share important information like this. Super educational 😍😍😍.

  42606. I've been studying Japanese for a little over 2 years and consider myself around mid-N3 reading and listening level, but like N4 speaking/writing level (also JLPT level is a horrible gauge lol). I really struggle with output. Most of the YouTubers I look up to for their Japanese ability have been at it 8 to 10+ years, so it motivates me with a more realistic picture. I want to eventually move to Japan in order to experience life abroad and immerse in the language better. I used to be into the sensationalist polyglot stuff because it is entertaining, but I think it's harmful as a whole. Lots of judgmental attitudes, false claims, too much ego. On the flip side you also have the super obsessive people, especially in the Japanese language community, who advise you to immerse 24/7 and grind anki decks for 5 hours everyday for 2 straight years which is equally unrealistic, because they paint everyone who doesn't do that intensity as not serious enough or whatever. I think balance is key. I'm not in a hurry and remind myself to set realistic goals, and hope to one day get to the level of being able to have normal adult conversations like when you talked about 9/11. I know I'll get there with time.

  42607. I highly recommend visiting the science museum in Nagoya too. It's super cool.

  42608. Entirely wholesome video, positive vibes only containted within

  42609. So impressive! I've always been fascinated by Japan, I think the dichotomy of the ancient land, culture against such modern technology. I used to watch the original Iron Chef and was just as interested when they would talk about their culture, festivals, traditions, etc. as the cooking. You are so impressive and fun to watch. Instant subscribe!

  42612. Hi, I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing what the Japanese think of Americans. (Japanese women's thoughts on American men and Japanese men's thoughts on American women). Maybe in general and in dating. Just a thought. If you did this already, I apologize (I'm still catching up on the older videos). I really enjoy your channel.

  42613. So much respect to both parties. A great start to your life together.

  42616. This is a great butt kicker for language learners. Your tips are a combination of stuff that I've seen or heard from other language learners but never put in such a straight forward manner. You didn't sugar coat that it is up to the learner to succeed. One thing I got told by both males and females in Asia is you should sleep with a dictionary,. a romance or marriage with a native speaker will improve your skill. No one said to use someone to learn a language, but those individuals who were open to this type of interaction all said their target language skills improved exponentially. Now I just have to buckle down and do the work.

  42632. The problem is racism, anyway, and à priori. I grew up in very multicultural city (Geneva, Switzerland, each one of the other pupils in each classroom was from different countries and ethnicity, how lucky I was). So yes your videos are essential to understand how it can be difficult to live in a very homougenous country when you are "different".
    1
  42633. Glad to see Tommy was enjoying his time in the states! How was it, Being back home after so long? Ending was sad too ;~; I didn't realize you would be staying a little longer. While he went back to Japan.

  42634. Taylor swift love Japanese food or Chinese food

  42635. Anming? Super pretty. 😃 So--I'm only studying Japanese right now, but I keep having dreams where I'm speaking Chinese, which I haven't done since highschool. What the? And last night, I dreamt that I was in a Chinese movie and a girl who looked just like you started speaking fluent Mandarin to me, like she knew just by looking at me that I could speak it, and started rattling off and asking me questions. I only understood a few words, but we had a brief conversation, trying to break down what she had said word by word. It was so real! I'm sure you dream in Chinese all the time. 😄
    1
  42636. Myth 7 isn't really a myth. Speaking only English will get you by. it's definitely a lot better to know Japanese but there are many incredibly helpful and friendly Japanese people who will go above and beyond to help you, even if you can not communicate verbally at all.
    1
  42637. Lots of people in Southeast Asia are multi-lingual, as they grow up in such an environment. But you are truly amazing! Somehow, you still make me think about missionaries.

Living in the Netherlands, we mostly do grocery shopping every day, Also, I noticed that you basically always deny stranger's compliments and you state it too in this video, but I was wondering qhy that is. Can't you just say arigatou or is it viewed as rude or something to actually accept a compliment?

  42655. I lived in Hiroshima when I was thirteen 1977. I was 6', maybe a little taller blond hair green eyes. Older couples would stop me and ask if they could take a picture with me, younger people would walk past then do that half whisper behind their hand that seems to be part of the culture. Once I was walking down the sidewalk near the canal and these boys about my age were messing with these two girls. They were walking the same direction as me. One of the boys pulled the ribbon from one of the girls hair. He turned and started to run back towards me. I didn't dodge quick enough and he ran square into me. His head hit me right in the belly. He fell backwards, yelled something dropped the ribbon and ran off. I picked up the ribbon and gave it back to the girl. They all just kind of stood there dumb founded. For about thirty seconds I felt like Captain America. Then my mom yelled for me to catch up. Instant ego deflation.

  42657. Hi, good day ma'am, i'm really interested to learn both nihongo and mandarin i just dont know where to start, is it possible to learn and master both languages just by watching youtube tutorials and perhaps through some pdf or other teaching materials? is self taught/learning at home possible or is it necessary to engage in day to day conversations with the native speakers? im so excited on your reply ma'am thanks in advance, God bless

  42678. it’s so wonderful to hear someone speak in so many different languages and engage with locals like this :’) it’s sad because every time I visit a country I always wish that I could speak a language and just have a casual conversation with someone, i always feel so embarrassed not knowing a thing they’re saying. it’s crazy that something like language can be such a huge barrier, but it’s amazing how you do it so effortlessly!!!

  42679. They would be more shocked about the fact that your non Japanese rather than the fact you can speak Japanese. It's because they expect them to be able to know Japanese as they are unlikely to be able to speak another language.

  42692. I spent 6 months in Vietnam 15 years ago, so foreigners would have been a lot less common than they are now. And I am 2m (6ft 7) with very light brown hair, not quite blonde, green eyes. It was a bit unusal on occasion and the reactions varied. Older Teenagers, or people in their 20ies often said hello and wanted to strike up conversations, maybe to test their English or just of curiosity. But that was almost exclusive to the South. In North Vietnam the people seemed to hold back a bit more... Unless you were going for a Bia Hoi 😀 The kids were always the cutest, waving and saying "hello mister", smiling and laughing. On some occasions, for example christmas or in general during celebrations or events, it could become really busy. Once one person had dared to ask for a selfie, the next 5-10 Minutes were essentially booked.

  42700. Happy New Year, Anming. Not only am I pleased to see your handsome fiancé and his welcoming family, thanks for showing us the NY in Japan where I was born and bred. I couldn’t believe that long queue to the Shinto shrine in a largely secular country. I also enjoyed your Xmas vid with Santa though I don’t celebrate it as a Buddhist. As I fled to London, UK, as a young woman, I probably won’t spend the festivities there again. My British-born son has emigrated to Yokohama so that I’ll visit him just once more when there’s no longer Japan’s unreasonable quarantine rules. Meanwhile I’ve been on Duolingo to relearn Chinese, Korean and Dutch over here. I wish you many happy years with your man. June

Enjoy the new 'digs' - they are cheap out in the boonies of the Midwest (IL) farming is the main thing around here. With a population of around 53,000, so nothing like the huge population where you are at. Take care thank you for the video. PS - sent him $25 to help pay his medical bills.

  42713. Even though 99% of these "polyglots" are fake they are still inspiring. They inspire smart people who believe they can learn a language. People with low self esteem or are just ignorant to learning languages in general will see them as geniuses or something and what they're doing is not attainable. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I get a little triggered when Wouter or any other fake polyglot claims to speak Japanese for instance when I've been studying my ass off for 7 months and there's no way I would claim to speak Japanese for AT LEAST another year probably 2 or 3 even. wATasHI wa SuSHI DAIsUkI DeSU. no. just no. BUT, it's entertaining when you only speak English. So it's kind of like believing in Santa Claus. No harm no foul I guess. But it takes a certain type of person (maybe someone who values money over integrity) to be a fake polyglot, for money. There are way worse things to be in life. Fake polyglots can inspire people. Laushu505000 inspired me to learn Japanese (RIP) even though he was more legit than the people I've seen lately. He would actually spend a year or more on most of his languages. (Wouter claims Japanese at like 2 weeks of tutoring level). It can trigger an actual language learner sure. As to why upload this type of content/encounters, it's all about $$$$ in the end. And if your already a rich kid then I guess it's about making a name for yourself or "vlogging" idk... This is a life lesson. You will encounter these type of situations where people are getting praise that don't deserve it more and more as you get old and if they're not harming anyone, you gotta just let it slide... Else you bring negativity to yourself.

  42717. anyone can learn 3-4 dozen simple phrases about food, commuting, and how to tell basic things about yourself in a 'crash course' for emergency use during a vacation or even longer backpacking trip. That has nothing to do with polyglocy, though, because you'll be absolutely lost the moment the topic comes to anything that wasn't included in your phrasebook, your phrasing will usually be utterly clumsy barely scraping by being intelligible, and that mere seedling of knowledge will basically almost fully leave you after about half a year of not being in that linguistic area. True poliglocy is if you can listen to a random ted talk - say, about societal issues within that culture - at least get a good concept/gist of what is being said and be able to retell what you took away from that talk verbally and/or written while ticking off at least two thirds of the most vital points. I double dare any proclaimed hyper-polyglot to sit down with a list of the languages they supposedly are fluent in, and listen to a non-mundane non-travel-book-phrase talk in each language and go through that exercise and have a native speaker who also listened to that talk assess just how much that person actually understood of what was being said by what they correctly reproduced of it. I can only claim this for 3.5 languages, one of which is my native language, the 0.5 language is a language I'm proficient enough in to understand about 80% of most topics, but my fluency and spontaneously available active vocab would most likely not be sufficient to cover the retelling part adequately. I have additional languages I can kind of get by with in case of an emergency, and there are another 2 that I learned a bunch of simple phrases for vacations for, but I would never have the gall to claim fluency over them, even when to other people who also don't speak those languages, it of course sounds impressive when you say phrase ABC and things happen as they should. But that has nothing to do with real language skill or being polyglot. And yes, ANYONE, can learn any language. You - yes you - are NOT to dumb or whatever to learn any given language. You may be not motivated enough or simply lack the free time to put in the necessary consistent work. Sure. You may lack immediate motivation because you don't need that language to function in your life or for an immediate future endeavor. Often the case. Or you might get frustrated with the apparent slowness of the process - that is directly related to the previously named points btw. - Absolutely. But you're not too dumb. Other people are not smarter than you. Other people just either have more time and occasion to throw at honing their language skills... or... as with those hyper-polyglots on YT... they're by far not as proficient as they make themselves out to be. You're smart enough. If it takes longer for you there will be reasons in your life for it you may be able to tackle or not (lack of time/motivation etc). But you know what, that's fine. Who says you have to be perfect fast? Unless you're going to live in a place where that language is spoken like next month there is no need to learn that language fast. But even if you arrive there not learning it great until you reach there... guess what... no better place to practise than there itself, because you'll actually NEED that language to function properly, and you'd be surprised how much of a boost in motivation that turns out to be for your brain. Otherwise, what's the rush? Take all the time you need and just enough the process of learning.

  42721. when I went to China the first day at school was wild, the kids kept asking if school let us change our hair colours because some of us had light hair. During classes and some lunch times they'd always tell us not to speak any mandarin because they wanted to practice their English and liked our accents, they were all very sweet and I had a great time (although the English names they'd chosen were a bit... humerous to say the least, sort of like nonsensicle nicknames)

  42723. I've seen several who have two kinds of videos: 1) always goes to ethnic restaurants and orders the food most identified with the people of the language he's speaking. 2) Goes to ethnic clothing shops and asks "how much is this?" So to do that in 26 different language videos you need to learn about 4 sentences in each of the 26. If you bone up right before you make the video it makes you look more fluent.

  42740. In the real world I can "survive" in French, German, and Spanish. (English is my native language) I would not try to sit down and carry on a deep conversation as I am no where near that. But speaking some basics I have had a chance to help some non English speakers right here at home that needed assistance with a problem. Car problems, 2 couples lost, couldn't find the hotel, and a French Army convoy turned around in SW Germany (had temporary French tourist plates on the car, they flagged us down). And I would not be able to "judge" the skills of an other. Thanks for pointing that out. ( I will start out letting them know my skills are basic )

  42751. Just wanted to chime in again(I’m not a polyglot),but you two really expose a VERY profitable scam that people like me just buy into,because,hey,he’s speaking this,or that,but I don’t,so how do I know?? Seriously,this is important,I have donated in the past to fund a channel or 2. We’re they legit? Who knows. Possibly money thrown away. But I learned something important thanks to the 2 of you. I said it before in my last post,it’s a cleverly done bit of street magic,and you expose it. Pearl,you expressed concern regarding retribution as a result of exposing these frauds. A legitimate concern,but goodness knows how much money is being scammed by these people. Destroy them!! You have the ability! And I would support your efforts,because you are definitely legitimate!!😊

Here, where I live in Bermuda, we have a large, long established Portugese community - so I am so pleased to be able to eat them fresh whenever I want. I am totally in awe of your linguistic skills - and yes, you do look northern Russian. It would be interesting to do one of those DNA tests for one of your videos. It might even give some clues to your linguistic abilities. Certainly many of the Northern Russians I know are very adept at languages.

  42775. As a beginner studying Mandarin, I wanted to ask about your pronunciation of 小笼包。it’s said: xiao3 long2 bao1 right? The way you say it sounds a lot like xiao2 long3 bao1. I hear a dip down like a third tone when you say ‘long’. Though It’s probably just my ears not being 100% used to the tones. Could you perhaps expand on this a little bit? I want to know how you interpret the tones and why you say it the way you do. Love your videos by the way! edit: Ah, after listening to it for about another 20 times I can finally hear the dip for the 3rd tone, the rise of ‘long’ and of course bao first tone is the easiest to hear. Agh, I know it’ll get easier, just have to keep grinding at it. Also, what was the final verdict on those 小笼包？lol

  42788. What brought me originally to your channel was me trying to refresh my German and being recommended a multitude of polygot/language channels and after a few X videos, yours was recommended. I enjoy the genuine conversations you have with people, your clearly educated, culturally conscious content, and the fact that you dont really waste people's time like some other channels do. You also encourage me to always keep learning bc although i'm a native Spanish speaker, my writing (nor my speaking, really..) is not to college level and you keep me motivated that's it's ok to continue learning German and also educate myself more in the languages I "already speak." Also Japanese = goals, so there's that too lol
    1
  42789. Wow I remember when I first subscribed and you had just 7K subs and you were wondering if you were even gonna continue. Now you are nearing 1 million lol Time flies!

  42794. Interesting takes in your interactions! Who would not turn up to meet you? They are not worth a thought! 🖖

  42795. Tokyo gets such a bad rap. I don't get it. Always found the people in Kyoto to be far more cold.

  42802. How long did it take you before you felt confident speaking Chinese to the locals?

  42803. I noticed that some of these polyglots can speak multiple languages but they’re not fluent in them all
    1
  42804. You are awesome 😋
    1
  42805. I liked this video, it really made me get back on to my track of learning Japanese! Sure I won’t be able to go back for awhile but I shouldn’t let that stop me from staying on point with my studies. I will feel proud of myself once all this work pays off on my next trip :^)
    1
  42806. Very interesting.......you would think that being a very good multi-language teacher, that would be worth more and you would have better conditions to teach, as far as amount of students ans such. you still have way more options for a career at this age and can go in many directions.........all just depends on your passion......follow your passion.........

  42810. 他们听你讲中文没有表现很惊讶，很大部分只是没有表达出来而已。尤其是短暂的交流的情况下，更是如此。
    1
  42811. Awwwee! They are just so friendly!
    1
  42812. Do they hate people who can speak multiple languages or do they hate the fact that they can't? 💀💀
    1
  42813. I really like this channel. I watch a decent amount of youtubers who do similar content but yours seem more like genuine interactions rather than stunts for youtube views.
    1
  42814.  @OrientalPearl  Well I think your channel will blow up soon enough if you keep posting videos even semi consistently. I'll be here to watch them for sure.

  42815. Your videos are amazing =)

  42817. うん、最後まで見てるよ。
    1
  42818. It's true. It's all about interest. The more fun you have the more you'll want to practice all four skillsets of a language. Making native friends is really fun too because you'll learn from them when they speak to you whether it be voice or writing.
    1
  42819. So Cool! I'd be surprised too! Love it🥰🥰🥰

  42820. Love the video Pete! 💜

  42821. Japan is such an interesting country. But I don't know if I will ever travel, but the wonderful Pearl brings it close to me. Thank you for that 🙏🏻
    1
  42822. yeah, read or listen something every day is important, it is relax, not too much pressure, and keeps yourself connecting to that language without disruption. Thanks for the tips and the step of writing the new words hundreds times is very impressive, but for me I don't have too much time (or to say I don't have enough patient) to do that so I use a dictionary app to collect all the new words in a list then go over those words again and again when I have some time during the day.
    1
  42823. So I came across your Videos not long ago and you have this way of drawing the viewer's in...it your content and subject matter, yes some "shock" stuff for the chaser of that stuff, but I like all the cultural stuff and see a part of the world I haven't travelled to... you both have open your eyes to the world and I admire you both for that... keep up the good work.🙏
    1
  42824. The Japanese guy said the Chinese words really well, seems like words starting with r such as 热 and 日本人 are quite hard though

  42832. My eye color changes/mixed color sometimes. I was born with blue eyes, but they change from light brown,greyish blue, greenish blue..etc My students used to call me a monster :P I'd have several students tell me what my eye color is and got different responses. lol They never agreed on the same color of my eyes. :D

  42844. it's probably easier to make friends with culturals in a foreign country since everyone has in common in being an expat
    1
  42845. I can't be more disappointed by the negative comments you said were made. And if they came from America... a country based on "All men ("and women" of course) are equal, well then, shame on them. In our country, (America), where you wouldn't think twice about a person, of White, African American, Asian, of European heritage, walking down the sidewalk, or having dinner at the table next to yours, why are they being critical of a person of a different race in another country?? Don't they have better things to do?? Geez, it's actually embarrassing!🙄
    1
  42846. I like your job you can go anywhere country
    1
  42847. You're amazing! I'm convinced that citizens on their own do more for foreign relations and world peace than any government could ever do!

  42851. He's hot. Though, Pakistani guys are generally hotter than Indian ones so not really surprised there lol. Watching his channel and getting a more relatable perspective on Japan is gonna be fun, thanks for the reccomnedation!

  42857. Awesome video! Brings me back to my childhood trying to be a Jedi 🤣 I think it would be cool to see you do a museum tour as a video idea!

  42861. I should get back into archery. I was pretty good at it back in high school.
    1
  42862. If there is any silverlining to this, it's proof your popularity is growing. Negative or positive, you're getting exposure. And the fact people are actually investing time to scam and hack and cyberbully, they wouldn't bother doing that to a "nobody" or small channel. I'm sure every big channel has gone through something like this at some point, and you're on your way there.
    1
  42863. She’s definitely an extrovert. I dont know how she does it.
    1
  42864. Weird fact (?), spoken Finish actually has some similiarities with Japanese (to my ear at least). Lots of double consonant sounds, like "kk" or "tt" similar to the one in "chotto". Finland is such a dope country, such cool people. Would love to get back to Japan soon, too. Too bad theyre so freaking 鎖国 (is that the same in Chinese?).
    1
  42865. Came here from a Tkyosam video. I really appreciate that you do your videos in Japanese. I have had a strong desire to learn this language from a very young age. Your videos give me a chance to immerse myself in the language, which is what I was really looking for to take my comprehension skills to the next level. I look forward to seeing more content!
    1
  42866. 有点意思，说中文很厉害，你写汉字怎样哪？
    1
  42867. I have an idea for a new video. It happens to me a lot. I understand Espanol , I can converse but not great. I am a Great Big White Guy. I love catching Mexicans talking about me (Dallas and El Paso). Assuming I no comprende. When I bust them they are horrified. Then I get free stuff. Has that ever happened to you? Talking about you assuming you don't understand. Accent is VERY importante.
    1
  42868. Akaki's Japanese sounds gobsmackingly natural. The only slightest hint of foreign accent is found in his "Tokyo" which should be pronounced flatly without accent on either syllable, rather than with accent on the first syllable.
    1
  42869. I travelled to the states for holiday after finishing my junior high. I departed from Hong Kong and transferred to Boston via Dallas. But I found out that the HK international airport had left all my baggages in Hong Kong! All I got were my passport, a cell phone, a backpack and my wallet. But the officials of the customs and the Boston airport staff were super nice and offered some advice. There were a lot of phone calls and emails before I get my luggage back eventually. I really appreciated other people's support and I even did a absolutely crazy shopping in downtown JUST TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.

  42870. Yes, I would like to see further. Brings me good memories.

  42874. kids everywhere are far too honest up to a point in age. looks like japanese kids take the cake tho. I cant read or write in japanese but can speak well enough to carry a conversation. problem is i still have no idea how to properly speak formally so im kinda stuck there

  42878. Just ignore these people that spread hate. They're probably just jealous of you, or they hate themselves so they want you to be sad too. Just choose to be happy and be yourself. You are beautiful inside-out so just continue what you're doing in your wonderful channel. ❤🇵🇭

  42879. I want to speak to other people but I got a speech impediment and I stutter when I’m nervous.

  42887. The „bayblades“ are called beigoma or kenkagoma koma right? I really like the idea behind it. Is it possible to buy those online or in some sort of shop(that is not in Japan)? I really want to get one of those:)
    1
  42888. Excellent video once again. Do you also find that when you start learning a fair bit of Japnaese (or any other language) that you start forgetting how to speak English properly? haha forgetting some words etc? It can't be just me ...
    1
  42889. Why are they so upset about someone speaking a different language and respecting and learning other cultures? How shameful. I hope their parents disown them for their close-minded childish behaviour.

  42890. Nice home I love it

  42891. I always wondered how you picked your name! 😄

  42896. Honestly a huge part in me starting to actually learn a new language at all were YouTube channels like Laoshu, Xiaoma, yourself, etc. It's something I've always kind of had an interest in but never actually committed to until now, especially with negative experiences "learning" a language in school. I'm 26 now, but that sort of thing completely stopped any interest for a long long time. But seeing these sorts of videos, the conversations and things that can be shared, as well as a strong urge to start traveling inspired me to start. Seeing firsthand what is possible & the things that you can work toward is like the definition of motivation for me. And even now several months into my journey I'll still watch them to supplement lessons & things like that just as a sort of extra piece of content to help a bit with my listening comprehension. Plus, most of the time these videos are just fun to watch regardless. One thing that really bothers me about the criticism I've seen is when people say something along the lines of, "These videos are okay if you're actually fluent, impressive enough, meets my standards/expectations, etc." If I were in their shoes I would understand that maybe the video just isn't for me because honestly everyone has different standards. What may not be impressive enough or match your goals, might be exactly the level I would be happy with getting to myself & vice versa ya know? Everyone watching has different standards/goals. Or even in scenarios where the content creator is at a very basic level, I still believe there is value in showing that. It's an approach to learning that a majority of people may be to scared to do without first seeing someone else take that plunge. (myself included) And honestly for a ton of people, if you can make yourself actually push through and get out of your comfort zone by talking with people, no matter the level, you will make so much progress or at least walk away feeling happy that you tried or happy with how well you were actually able to speak with the other person.

  42900. The ones who scream about cultural appropriation have never lived in any other country but their own. Wherever you live, you try to fit in and the best way of doing that is through food, clothing, and language. How else are we to learn and understand each other? I lived in Germany for 5 years and traveled a lot. I miss it. I had culture shock going back to the US. LOL
    1
  42901. I'm actually quite impressed. Damn 4 languages and I only speak one and barely 2 ( french and english ). It must be so hard to learn japanese and chinese. Hands down and all my respect. I'm amazed how you can switch so easily between languages. Jeez !! Love it and a big WOW.

  42902. Thanks!

  42903. There is no automotive friction between U.S. and Japan. U.S. make their cars in Mexico and Canada for cheap labor. Japan set up their factories in the U.S. to save on labor and shipping cost; with the goal of eventually also make cars in Mexico for cheap labor. It's all economics.

  42910. I've noticed that Northerners are usually more surprised/happy if you speak Chinese, but that could probably be to the fact that you said they are more outgoing in general.

  42913. It is just curtesy to say you speak well. If they didnt say that they would say you have nice hair, beautiful clothes or a cool camera =). I enjoy it when people are friendly. It is funny how various cultures are different in socializing =). I love the Asian way of always having a smile and being polite in public. My mother for example thinks the Asian way of "keeping one´s face" in public is not honest. She wants that people show their emotions so that one can act accordingly. My counter-point is then that here in (North) Germany we usually keep to ourselves with grumpy faces and trying to not interact with each other although some might be happy =). That is not honest as well ^^. I know that as an exchange student back in the 90ties in Nebraska I was shocked for quite some time when people asked me "how are you doing" (and I was delighted from my German perspective that they must be very much liking me to ask about my well being ^^) and then to see how they were shocked when I started to explain my physical and emotional status I had at the moment *giggle*. It took some time to learn that this was a socializing phrase like "hello" and that they didnt want to hear a 20+ minutes essay of my inner workings =).

  42921. Inspirational message and love the video! I just want to let everybody know that the Chinese accent (DongBei) she learned to speak is equivalent to New York accent in China, if you are not from that area, it's pretty difficult to learn even for many Chinese native speakers, speaking Chinese is one thing, but speaking native Chinese is a whole different level. As far as for her Japanese, I studied Japanese 3 years in college, not as nearly as good compare with hers. Her Japanese manner and cultural expression are on point. 我以后会向你做未学习榜样。頑張ってね！

  42926. I believe people generally like to stick to their own kind, it’s much easier and take very little effort, unless you are open minded, tolerant and nice , then you will not mind living and experiencing different things with different people. I also know many Americans are very interested with countries like Japan and China, do your part by sharing your knowledge with them. And love your black top, look chic on you! 😊

  42929. came from laoshu's video.....your pronunciation is impressive! I think it is a bit more nature than him (though he's self-taught, might not be comparable.....but your pronunciation is already better than me (yes I am from southern China TAT 2:50 LOL have never seen anyone joking like that to a non-native speaker...I think you really reached (or even surpass) the level of chinese native speaker and she felt talking to you is just like talking to a native speaker! 11:57 I saw some comments saying "会弄死我吗" sounds weird and not that polite...... in my point of view, it is not totally because you used "死", but also "弄". They adding together makes expression a little bit strong, sounds like challenging someone.......actually "弄死" sounds like mafia language to me.......(I think that is a hidden reason why chinese people in comments complaining about this....) If you speak like "10分钟（不戴口罩）……又不会死嘛" (with a a joking tone) people might feel more comfortable.....(to act like an ordinary Chinese person, I will also say thanks for the reminder and mention that I will wear the mask after finishing with the food, even I actually not planing to wear it after that.....here in US, even I don't want to wear the mask, when I go out with my Chinese friend who strongly thinks wearing a musk is a must, I won't say to him about what I think directly, but I will find some excuse like "it is very hard to buy one" or "I already ordered on the internet, and I am waiting for the package" though I actually didn't......That is what Chinese people called "EQ", and I think same in Japan, so-called "KY" when people talk in an "improper way")

    1
  42933. Just a suggestion, since this is working for me, but see if you can get in touch with "Matt vs Japan" He's a youtuber that learned Japanese all by himself. I used some of his ideas mixed with yours and it's helping me identify words in Japanese from TV shows. I'm learning a few words here and there but I'm far from understanding. Sometimes I feel like giving up because it's complex, but other times I want to keep pushing because I love the culture and I want to visit someday. Anyways, thanks for the videos. You inspired me and I appreciate all you do. ☺

  42937. Chinese people cant watch YouTube ?!?! Mind blown 🤯

  42938. I always talk about Japanese peoples' reactions to me speaking Japanese. 日本語上手ですね！ But all I said was hi.. lol Gets annoying because it just feels like I'm being patronized.. Anyway, fun to watch someone else have fun with the same experience.

  42939. Has your family ever visited you when you were in China or Japan? I remember you saying you originally made this channel for your family😅

  42940. Im learning japanese almost 3 month by myself and now i can speak basic japanese and know to read and write hiragana and katakana....and i cant belive for what i did this so far...and im really proud of myself😁😁😁

  42941. Such a peachy 🍑 video 😉

  42942. Yaaas queen! Burn them! Lol. I mean they claim that they are polyglots yet they only used memorized lines or using a translating tool. I mean they don't know the language itself. They don't know our hardships studying the language. They just trick people to thinking they know the language they are speaking. If I were the one who made this video, I would exposed them. Kidding! By the way! I've taken a break on watching YouTube videos for a while and as I return to your channel I am happy to see your channel growing! Will be watching your previous videos this week. I need to catch up. Guys keep subscribing and sharing our Pearl's video! Fighting Pearl! I hope you take on Korean soon. :) P.S. I still consider you as a Polyglot and one of my role model. Hihi.

  42943. It is always fun that you are shooting outdoors instead indoors

  42944. Another great video! My New Year resolution is to learn Japanese, and to think that only a couple weeks ago, I could understand none of this without subtitles. Now I can understand several basic phrases! Arigato gozaimus, Anming-san!

  42945. We Chinese would photograph a dog turd if we spotted one. Natural curiosity or just nutcases?

  42949. Yup that same Chris guy was emailing me too and I opened the link inside. Within 24hrs my Facebook, Yahoo! and Google account all hacked.
    1
  42950. I can understand Japanese really well... every word you said in this video I understood, for example. However, I am so shy to speak Japanese, and it takes a while to form complete sentences in my head. I have Japanese friends but I am too shy to talk with them in Japanese in fear of mistakes.... I know it's so dumb.
    1
  42951. さて.さて.さて. You're Amazing. Do you like Kanji? I'm learning Japanese and Chinese, but i love guessing kanji. For example : 手(hand)+ 紙(paper)= Letter What's this ? 轟 (car+car+car) = Tricycle* I'm joking..

  42952. Who was that guy talking about the puzzle? I thought for sure he was Japanese before the camera turned to show his face. His Japanese is nuts.

  42956. We used to play that thing in China way back and called it in Chinese 陀螺。 Ours was bigger，taller. We would thrash it with a whip so it spins on and on. To start it you could either twist it with your fingers or you could furl it with your whip and then unfurl it, similar to what they did here. Brought back memories of o'le good days!

  42971. The funny thing is that somehow I really enjoy your videos. I watch and listen fully concentrated. I listen to the words spoken while reading the english and transfering it to dutch. So much fun. Keep up the good work. Thank you!!

  42972. If someone says you scared them by speaking their language and offers you bribes of free stuff, they might have been gossiping in that language before you walked in and are afraid you overheard. 🤣

  42991. What impresses me even more than the ability to speak several languages fluently, is the ability to just have spontaneous, random conversations, that are actually quite interesting.

  42992. The Japanese girl's pronounciation is very good.I think she maybe trained English a lot in leisure time or have a lot of friends who speak English.

  42995. 外国語を学ぶ動機が何であれ、言語を一つ習得する度に、新しい言語に慣れるための経験値、脳内に言語を受け入れるスペースが増えていくんじゃない？覚えた言語をどのように駆使するかは、ポリグロット本人の自由。他人がとやかく言うことじゃない。そういう経験をしたければ、同じように外国語を学べばいいんじゃないの？それなりの時間と労力が必要になるけども。

  42996. Honesty the text you add on screen is really helpful for the main points and to keep my attention span, I hadn’t realized how much it’d helped till the end of the video 😊

  42997. I liked this, very interesting. I do think you should have someone with you if you continue to go into bad areas, just for safety!
    1
  42998. Wow how different it is there than in the states. In the states if you’re complimented it’s rude NOT to say thx & if you deny the compliment that’s considered rude or false humility.

  43024. Heh, wish I could get that kind of reaction.. problem is, I look just like them so they assume I'm Japanese ^^; makes it really awkward when I have to request English.. it's like I'm sorry for not being what you thought I was T^ T I really should pick up enough basics before next time I roll around there..

  43025. Japan is such a beautiful country, so green and lush. The people are so polite and seem to be very considerate.

  43026. I'm just happy for your success Anming! Don't worry about those Youtubers who only knew how to insult and throw disrespectful words just to have a content. Yours is wonderful and you have an amazing content which is heartwarming, educational and inspiring as well ❤💕💖

  43049. I think this is great advice, but as someone who started Chinese a month ago I can still barely introduce myself, much less have a conversation. Any advice on how to start out? The app HelloChinese is what I’m using right now.
    1
  43050. So would you rather hear your Chinese is almost sounds too good did you take a magic pill to speak it fluently? Are you really Chinese. Jk

  43055. How did you learn Chinese and when did you start speaking to natives? I have nobody to practice with and I've been studying for four months now.
    1
  43056. The fact that anyone can edit their videos to make them seems like they are good at a language is questionable to me in the first place. For Japanese I say learn from a native like Miku. Or Japanese Ammo with Misa.

  43065. I wanna go to japan but the fact that huge crowds make me very shy and nervous id have to learn Japanese to go towards the suburbs because that's more quiet and its something I'm used to
    1
  43066. Back in 2016 there was the strong Kumamoto earthquake. Also with 7.0 and many after- and foreshocks. And not only once it was 7.0. At that time I was in Fukuoka, I can clearly remember how badly it shook. But it was a great experience. Though also a bit scary, because we also got a tsunami warning, which luckily didn't happen.
    1
  43067. Ah they are so cute.
    1
  43068. lots of books or language portals say - just spend 30 mins a day to learn a language- but that just won't cut it. In my opinion, 2 hours a day is a starting point, 4 hours per day is better. on average you may need 1500- 2000 hours to be reasonable in a language, then you can work out how long it is gonna take depending on the amount of time you put in each day. It is a lot of work to learn a language - maintaining a language after you learn it is also a factor.
    1
  43069. I'm noticing now from your videos it seems uncommon to out right accept compliments? If so, how do people in japan do giving compliments? I'm trying to practice every day and go there for a stay eventually!

Eww yucky yuck yuck, I know of no place in the US to get my earwax cleaned out they should have places like that, the sign "No sexual service" good to know that, who expects sexual service with getting their earwax cleaned out I hope no one, Eww, that's a more of an Eww than the earwax, I have a nasty story about earwax, every time I cleaned my ears with a Q Tip my Kitty would watch and as soon as I'd throw the used Q Tip in the wastebasket each and every time my Kitty would make a beeline to the wastebasket stick her head in and start sniffing, I'd then clap my hands sharply and yell at her "Nasty Kitty get out of here" and she'd start running, there was a photograph of either Taylor Lautner or Robert Pattinson I forget which one I get them mixed up with earwax in his ear Eww

  43083. How long did it take for you to learn basic conversations?
    1
  43084. I feel that people who get bothered by someone who speaks multiple languages feels unintelligent witch makes them defensive or they feel that it's a offensive because they reather avoid anything different
    1
  43085. I don't usually take time to write comments on this platform but I really need to say that the reason why I love your channel it's because you actually have a deep understanding of not one but two languages that are quite hard to learn imo, you're not just repeating the same things over and over, and I value the amount of effort that requires, keep it up!

  43091. 俺も三つの喋てる言葉が理解できます。たった今動画を見られて登録しました。フィリピンの方からです～ 広州と福岡に旅行するから3年ぐらいで中国語と日本語を学んでしまっていたｗ 我也可能了解你讲的三语言了。我之间看见你的视频和登录囖。从来自菲律宾的粉丝了。为了在福冈和广州的旅行我愿意开始学习两个【中文/日文】哈哈 l understood the 3 languages you spoke (in the vid) and l just recently saw your videos and subscribed :) From a fan in the Philippines. l had to go learn Japanese/Chinese suddenly (started 3 yrs ago) since l had to visit Guangzhou/Fukuoka lol

  43094. Miki seems very sweet. I enjoyed this because my son is half Japanese but looks very white. When my wife and son walk ahead of me on the street I see so many funny looks. They look at her, then him, then her, then they finally see me and have this "oh, he's half" look. It's pretty funny. Sometimes when they are together, staff ask if it's ok to speak to him in Japanese or they just think we are all tourists.
    1
  43095. As usual great video. Love the interaction with Chinese in Japan. You can see they are very happy to have a good conversation in their home language with you and it seems they open up and are more personable once they see how well you speak. Keep on posting and I’ll keep watching.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    1
  43096. So ironic how that guy says it’s “colonizer mentality” .. colonizer mentality would be going to a place and expecting them to speak English, not the other way around
    1
  43097. Love this video, it really showcases what living in Japan would be like. As someone who lives in constant fear of banging my head on doors, I liked how your apartment had big ones (although I feel like I'd still be quite crammed in a lot of places haha). With the ridiculous house prices where I live in British Columbia, moving to Japan seems to be a reasonable option (Tokyo is very expensive, but from what I've seen closer to the countryside can be quite affordable as long as you can get a job that works with living there). 🤣🤣 Thank you for the inside look, I always enjoy these videos :)

  43098. Congratulations happy for you..i really wish i can stay in Japan to in future

  43104. The thing is that some polyglots speaking 12 languages at c1-c2 level get less credit/views than polyglots like this guy, who seems to speak English at an intermediate level (I only speak a few languages but I can imagine what the rest of his languages look like) Sometimes it's really unpleasant to see those "polyglots" clickbaiting their videos as hard as they can It's just my opinion though

  43108. Watching this video, I thought that I never met anyone like you when I was single and stationed in Korea with the Army. Being half Japanese, I only met Japanese businessmen. Nevertheless, glad you found someone special to marry.

  43109. Is the first cuisine common Japanese breakfast? Hahah trust me you can not out do my pickiness as i dont eat majority of seafood, vegetables. I am more of a carnivore thats why American meals have been my favorite out of alot of country i travel too.

  43110. Really enjoyed this discussion. We all have different learning styles and we come in all ages. I'm much older than a lot of others. I have tons of language apps and use them in conjunction with each other. I am still a beginner after a few years. Why .. because I honestly have not applied myself. I am self-aware enough to know that dedicated time and effort are needed to make any significant progress. I will happily check out recommendations but never with the expectation that I'll wake up fluent one morning just because I used an app the day before. I will plug away at Korean and Japanese, because why not? 🙂 TLDR; I'm old and I'll get there! I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate you finding the time to create the content. 화이팅

  43129. At the end of the day we live and learn, we move on to the next chapter of our lives trying to do what we enjoy the most. But lets face it this is seldom the case and hardly worked out the way we envision. At least you are the minority who can say been there done that. Thanks for sharing, really enjoy your videos. I’m sure this channel will grow exponentially in no time.

  43137. it's quite good that japanese who survey's will recommend something to the tourists whatever it is. i'm really proud i've come to liked Japanese cultire so much.
    1
  43138. I have a question for you. When learning languages did you learn vocabulary out of context? I keep reading that you should only learn them within the context of phrases and sentences. But in my mind as I keep stacking vocab while immersing, my brain will recognize the words and when they are used and put them in their rightful place. Just a bit unnerved by all the info out there saying to only learn vocab in context. Edit: I've learned to recognize around 2500 japanese vocab in writing which is why I'm so nervous. I saw in another video where you said you were learning 50 vocab a day but I wasn't sure if it were in or out of context.

  43139. Omg!! Please do tell where that super cute heart bag is from?? Also great video!! Always a treat when I see a new vid from you on my feed!💗

  43193. Oriental Pearl i think if it come to Asian languages personal approach is essential as myself i would never reached intermediate Chinese without one on one lessons yes there is a lot of words from hsk 4 and above not known to me yet but speaking to native is imperative you can learn any language by yourself but the point is decreasing time you are a great teacher because the great teacher is the one who knows the best way to deliver the language or information to the students or you tuber to fans

    1
  43204. If it makes you feel better, when I went ice skating with friends in Japan I couldn’t even walk on my own, I was pushing one of our friends on a chair the entire time lol. Anyway, your video reminds me of this Japanese high school student that our family hosted more than a decade ago. He couldn’t believe how wide the roads are in Australia! I’m like, that’s just a normal road.

  43205. You have a nice laugh

  43208. Whenever I dream of going to Japan Tokyo for some reason is very down on the list of places to live for a time. It's too big, too overcrowded. I would not feel well there. My priorities are visits in Sapporo, Sado and Niigata, Nagano, Osaka and Fukui. But I think it will take a long time. Maybe I will never see Japan but I dream on. And study
    1
  43209. The way you switch languages so quickly was really impressive. I watched the video twice. The first time I read the subtitles for context. The second time was just to listen to you switching languages. I know the difference between Chinese and Japanese because I grew up with lots of Asian friends in Los Angeles. Still, I've never heard someone switch between the 2 languages so seamlessly. Then again, I've never heard ONE person speak both languages in conversation before so.... Love the videos, Anming.

  43241. I once went to Spain for a holiday from the UK. One day I went into a cafe for lunch. A teenage boy was waiting table. I don't speak Spanish but I did my best to order in Spanish anyway. The boy read back my order in perfect English, to check he had understood and then served me. While I was eating, another English person came in and launched straight into trying to order in English. Ten minutes later, as I left, he was still trying to order while the waiter was "No Hablas Ingles".

  43242. I love your videos little sister. You and I have been spending a lot of time together in quarantine 😂

  43244. Hey Amning, I recently found you in my feed. You really inspired me. I was a first gen American, my parents are from Cambodia. I spoke Ca,Bosnian up until I went to school, they put me in an English language class up to 8th grade (even though I didn’t need it after 4th grade) anyway my mom became a citizen and both my parents picked up on English and English became our main language. Now I’m 27 with kids (My husband is American) now I know little To no Khmer... I’ve been watching videos to brush up and teach my kids of the importance to know these beautiful language. Thank you!

  43251. If you put 5-10 years into something. Skiing, rally, running, parkour or the best example pro gaming, why wouldn't you "show off" a little? Why not show people that you are an ordinary people like them and with discipline you did it? If i learn a language just to "show off" on youtube and i put 5 years into it wouldn't i deserve even some money for it? Especially if i make people entertained by it.. after all I did put the time in it. . 🤷🏻‍♂️

  43252. The working class can not afford such a tuition fee like that. Or they really put too much on Education. That's why I can't live in Shanghai, quite scary living cost! From rent to fees on education (or self-improvement)

  43258. I have seen Katie in a video dancing! It was a few years ago. She is soooo good! I took dance classes in Korea and in Japan. Belly dancing is very popular in Koreda. I had 3 different teachers. One Korean, Australian, and American. Hip hop was and is still very popular in both countries. This was a fun video to watch. Asakusa was not crowded at all. One of my favorite places. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see more!
    1
  43259. While I do like to see some of the fun reactions, some youtubers only show like little tiny clips of the craziest reactions often making me wish I could year the rest of the conversation and have nothing in-between those moments. I often wish they would show more of the normal conversations. Another issue with a lot of those videos is it's almost always a transaction, simply buying something like food and I'm always like... they only talk if your buying something? lol. I'd like to see youtubers going to an event or something and just talking to random people and not so much only employee's working in a store who are kind of forced to talk to you out of professionalism and such. Omegle videos can be good for this, but those are hard to make due to the horrible things people do on the platform and the 99% of people skipping you, so that's not ideal as well. But it is what it is and youtubers always trying to do what they think Algorithm is going to like the most. I feel like in order to see more interactions with people in other countries, better to stay away from the language channels and go to a channel of someone who makes traveling videos instead of showing of language skills, channels like Karl Rock and others give a far better idea of normal interaction and so on then if he just made videos showing off his ability to speak Hindi for example.

  43262. Hope it’s okay to make two comments on one video. I agree with another viewer . . . Loved the content with Tommy and your attempt to play the koto :-). Also, I was amazed by how much snow there was in that town. Is it lake effect snow like in the Midwest? Or is there another reason why it falls so heavily?

  43271. The one person we all know who "speaks" like 40 langs really knows a few stock phrases in these languages, can have a basic conversation and has tailored their conversation to the set things that they tend to talk about: how they learned, have they ever been to _________, how many languages they know, etc. Sometimes they aren't even answering the question they are being asked. Hey, it's better than 99.9999% of the people out there. But it's not remotely fluency. This person is fluent in Mandarin and seems comfortable with Japanese as well and even knows a decent amount of Cantonese and Korean, but they aren't fluent in Vietnamese, French, Hmong, Romanian, etc. But if he can order off a menu and have a basic convo, better than the vast, overwhelming majority of people.

  43272. My first thought is what day of the week time did it happen because I imagine the event happening while kids are in school and the kind of panic that would create. I have two small boys and once you have kids every fear you have ever had gets displaced by 2 fears related to your kids.

  43275. The fact that Chinese and Japanese natives testified that your language mastery is indistinguishable from theirs speaks volume on how talented you are in learning foreign languages. I enjoyed your videos and the way you interact with people with their own language but, as a graduate in Linguistics, I cannot help but notice that there is no influence of the mother tongue (i.e. English) on your learned languages –which is very rare for adults. People may underestimate this point it is the most difficult task to do. I have noticed –as many people here did– that your personality changes to accommodate with the social norms and pragmatics of the language with which you engage. The more one can feel that about their personality, the more skillful and competent one is in one's learned languages. As non-native of English, when I speak English, I need to switch my mind to another personality because when I learned English I did not just learned sentences but the pragmatics of the language and socio-cultural norms in which the language is spoken. (Languages are different in the way natives compliment, apologize, request, complain etc and how to respond to them. it is also critical to know the right context in which to perform a speech acts like the ones I mentioned above (apologizing, etc) among many others. I do not speak any of the Asian languages, but my experience in learning French as foreign language and then English makes me aware of how difficult it is to master the language down to its accent(s). Not all people can achieve what you have done. That's truly unique and requires a set of skills and talent not just mere dedication of time and effort. It is fascinating and amazing to see you interacting with natives using their languages that are drastically unrelated to your native one. I know few things about both Chinese and Japanese after I took courses in phonemics or phonological analysis – which does not require zero knowledge of languages under analysis because all words are represented by IPA. For example: the sound [L] and [r] are very close and do not contrast meaning as in English.... As for Chinese, the tones is the hardest part about its sounds needless to mention the variety of vowels... It is delightful to see you interact with natives perfectly. I was already amazed by your fluency of Chinese but I got shocked when I saw that you speak Japanese as well. You are inspirational for all those who are interested in Those languages and even for those who are learning foreign languages like myself. Thank you for sharing some of your experiences with us, keep up the good work!

  43277. Very interesting. I have become very skeptical of so called polyglots lately. Its very noticeable that they never offer any certifications of their level of achievement and there are no double blind tests going on to authenticate the learning methods that they advocate. It is about time that the authentic polyglots start policeing their field!!!

  43285. Wow...Yokohama Chinatown? I was a dishwasher in 老正興上海菜館 for almost a year back in 1974. I doubt the restaurant still exists today given it's been over 40 years, I was 19 then I am 65 now despite I can not recognize the Yokohama Chinatown today but your video still helps to trigger my younger days' memories.

  43293. You just seem so nice, lol. You would have probably made a great professional nanny/baby sitter. I know some cities and countries hire a "nanny" from a certain country or with a language skill to pick up and drop off their kids. Kind of like, hang out with my kid and speak Chinese/English/Spanish. It can even be done as play dates, where like you take a couple kids to the zoo, or to play, and you're speaking the targeted language during that time.

  43308. A few years ago a youtuber went to Japan and took a ride with these men. He is gay and crossdresses. It may be a business strategy but the rickshaw was subtlty flirting with him in order to get him and his girl friends to take the ride. He also noticed their muscle legs.

  43313. Speaking of Bye Bye. In Brunei, we have 4 of same word to make a sentence (Or statement) but this is not formal. The word "Awal" means Early, "Awal Awal" means From the beginning, usually being used to tell a story or something. But then comes the "Awal awal, awal awal" means "Right Now! This instance" with urgency to finish or start something immediately like if you are really really really late or if your friends can't decide where to eat and you have classes to attend soon. Cheers!

  43317. Learning languages is so much easier if you're learning them as a child. I was brought up with Foochow dialect, Chinese readings, English movies, Japanese anime and Cantonese dramas, these kicked started my language learning progress. Later in my college life, i decided to pick up German and Esperanto(for the lulz) but it's almost impossible for me to get them into my head. My main languages are Chinese, English, Bahasa and Foochow dialect. I can listen and speak some Japanese but the reading part is limited on some kanji.

  43328. For language learning the format subtitle format of Easy ... which started with Easy German (by miles still the best) is helpful and interesting for language learners. You might want to take a look at it. Not sure if their Japanese edition is still around. Running a YouTube channel is work and keeping things healthy and alive isn't always easy ... What Easy German illustrates really well IMO is that language learning is learning a culture and mindsets. Things like grammar and vocabulary are part of that mix but may not even be the main thing ... Great to see Japan through your eyes. Greetings from the Netherlands.

  43350. I think a lot of the hate comes from a misunderstanding of what race and culture are. If you leave your home country for another and you live that life then you adopt that culture and become a person of that place. One can't help but adopting the culture of their surroundings. If you live in Japan for 20 years then IMO you as a person are Japanese, if you live in the USA for 20 years you as a person are American.

  43352. Whoever says Japanese people are cold haven't talked to a Japanese person person before. I've talked to a bunch and they are more than willing to talk to foreigners. The only problem is language barriers which sometimes discourages people from talking to you. But it's still possible to talk to them.

  43364. As an American, I'm not trying to be racist, and in no way is it intended this way, but I don't agree with this lifestyle, it's fake. You're just saying words with no meaning, you should be truthful, if you think you deserved that compliment, then yes, you should feel free to say "thank you", there shouldn't be a problem with that, they were the ones complimenting you in the first place, however, it would be different if you asked or implied for them to compliment you like "How is my Chinese?" then saying thank you to them just trying not to offend you is different, but this isn't a conversation, this is just tradition and I don't agree with it... I need truthfulness

  43400. Well Anming, I know we have talked about my plans privately, but I'll share them here for others to see. I am presently committed & enrolled at The Language House in Prague. I traveled to the Czech Republic and was actually in Prague when the pandemic started. But I realize by speaking with Czech and Russian people there that there was a definite need for native English speakers to teach English. I will be studying to get my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification, whenever the travel ban and the borders reopen and the school officially reopens. So, in the meantime to prepare, I have been taking formal Czech AND Russian language lessons, with 4 different instructors (2 Czech and 2 Russian), sometime 6-8 lessons a week, minimum of 60-90 minute sessions each. I also speak Spanish and German, but at A2 levels on both. In two months of study, I'm at an A2 level in Czech and I've improved my Russian from a B1 to a B2 level. I also have a gal that I am interested in that lives near Krakow, Poland, so I'm already learning some Polish from her too!! The main thing is you have to have a passion for languages and culture and be willing to go outside your comfort zone. You have to set goals for learning, have a passion and study with a purpose, and put in the time & effort! You also have to immerse yourself in the target language (s) you are studying. Watch You Tube videos, music videos, TV shows, read dual language "mirror" books, use online resources like Pimsleur, the language101 or pod101 sites, or italki.com, where I have 3 of my 4 instructors from doing video call classes. I am a bit of a perfectionist and was afraid to make mistakes, because I always want to do well, but the more I relaxed, the more I started listening & comprehending my target languages and was speaking better too. Anming, you are a MAJOR inspiration for my language journey, even though I do not know Japanese or Chinese, one day I want to learn them and I will. Thank you for being such a great person, you are a pillar of the You Tube and world communities and I am grateful to call you my friend!! Lots of love & respect, dear!

  43420. I think the Chinese people that don't say it to your face have been well adapted to Japanese society, as they know it is the local culture to be humble and not to embellish other people's achievements. It's also probably due to them not wanting to embarrass you by making you speechless or having to respond to their words of encouragement. I don't know if that's true, but that seems to be the case.

  43422. You guys look so formal as you ride your bikes. I'm just getting over a recent mountain bike accident that left me with four broken ribs and a broken collar bone. I was just waiting for one of you to at least scrape against the wall in those tight spaces your were riding in. Your riding skill must be far better than mine. I guess I'll have to try to ride my bike a bit more formally. It may keep me from crashing again.

  43455. If you ever want some fun content you could teach a 60 year old (like me lol), Japanese and see how fluent you could make him in 3 to 6 months. In the end, he or she could fly over there. Would be fun.

  43471. Tbh, the other channel may speaks more than a ton of languages but none of them do mastered the languages itself... And on the other hands you've reached a high level in chinese and japanese which is make you're far more better than the others🙈 and moreover with only english and chinese you already can traveling about 1/3 of the world.. and now you even can speak Japanese which is amazing👏

  43472. The introduction confused me with Asian-looking people in Asian-looking surroundings speaking English. Oh, it's Hawaii, so then it makes sense. And at the end, the Asian-looking people are from New Jersey. Plot twists abound!

  43475. First of all, let me start by saying that I absolutely love your videos! Your content has been entertaining, informative, and always keeps me coming back for more. Your passion for exploring different cultures and sharing your experiences is truly inspiring. I recently came across a remarkable individual who I believe would make for an incredible interview on your channel. Her name is Elizabeth Bergen-Bartel, sensei and she possesses a fascinating similar background that I think would complement your content perfectly. Elizabeth, is an American who has spent a significant amount of time living in China. She's not only fluent in Chinese but has also become a member of the Chinese National Kendo team and a total bad ass. I was amazed to learn that she's currently studying at Tsukuba University, immersing herself in the rich culture of kendo and Japan. In kendo circles, Elizabeth is considered a prominent figure, and her unique experiences and insights would undoubtedly make for an engaging conversation. I believe her story would provide a fresh perspective on the cultural exchange between China, Japan, and the United States. If you're interested, you can find Elizabeth's video where she shares her perspective on mental state when she's competing: https://youtu.be/irVs3CT0_F0. It would be fantastic to see the two of you engage in a meaningful discussion about your respective experiences and the cultural nuances you've encountered. Anyway thank you for taking the time to read this and or considering my suggestion, and keep up the fantastic work! I eagerly look forward to your future videos!

  43476. Hi! Just found your content, since I've been on a massive foreigner travel blog binge on YT and the algorithm gods decided to bless me with your videos. Your Chinese is much less accented than the other videos, and I can definitely tell you put in the hard hours. You're also a lot more genuine and cheesy (I like cheesy!) than some other YouTubers that I won't name. If you want some charismatic Bald-esque content give Adventures in Asia a try, I just found him yesterday and he's friendly, has not many views, and is a great reader/speaker of Japanese, he also has a great editor! The only thing missing from his vids are regular uploads. I'll be watching more of you! Keep doing what you're doing!

  43477. 你好。你在复旦大学读书过，现在日本早大上学。怪不得你汉语和日语说得这么流利😅　（不好意思，你其实不希望被别人这么说？) 我是鈤本人。每周日举行网络汉语学习交流会，请早大的老师做我们学习会的讲师（如果你参加我们网络学习会的话，肯定跟这位早大老师能学到很多东西） 你不喜被欢中国人说”你的汉语说得很好”，因为他们觉得根据你的外貌，没想到你会说汉语。但是中国人绝对不会跟大山这么说。。。 同じように、日本に住んでいても、日本人に日本語上手ですね、って言われるけど、これも言われたくはないでしょうね。まして、変に気を使われて英語で話しかけられても、（英語がネイティブのOriental Pearlさんからすれば）日本人の下手くそな英語で話しかけられるより、寧ろ自分も日本語で一般の日本人と同じ扱いを受けたいと思っているんじゃないかという気がします。 中国人が大山に対して、中国語上手ですね、とは決して言わないし、日本人だってデーブ・スペクターやパックンに対しても日本語上手ですねとは決して言わない。多分そういうレベルをOriental Pearlさんは目指しているのかもしれません だからこそ、こちらが配慮したつもりの言葉や振る舞いが、知らず知らずに相手の外国人を傷つけてしまっていることを学ぶべきでしょう。ロッシェル・カップ氏が言っていたように、「漢字読めますか？」と外国人に訊くのも然り。

  43478. It was a nice, interesting and wholesome conversation you had with them. Although, saying they were shocked is a bit clickbaity like what the other language channels do :( i would accept pleasantly surprised

  43480. Those people look for the wrong things to rant about, one thing I heard from one of them was "horrific" which implies one of them is racist towards saying how chinese language was "horrific" people are only like that because they are in this mindset that its impossible to learn a new language in which case you shouldn't learn it. You are perfect and I'm glad I subbed to you, You're full of great vibes and honestly I learn so much from you. Those people can go and cry about it, one of them is misogynistic and making up a lie saying you use youtube to "show off your body" which will never be true. Stay true to yourself, And keep being you :)

  43483. Many thanks for pointing this out, but this is expected behavior. I like the expression “fluency illusion,” as I have seen this in every field of study and profession in my experience. It appears to be a cultural phenomenon to oversell yourself perhaps just to compete or to deceive for gain. The fluency illusion exists in nearly every resume I’ve seen. To many, “showing off” or getting attention is still the primary purpose and use of media platforms. Although education through open media has great potential in the future, I don’t think we’re there yet. It’s a sad social commentary, but I have learned to be skeptical about anyone’s knowledge about anything.

  43492. The South Korean website says that Indians are allowed to travel visa-free in Jeju Island of South Korea if they directly fly there. So, I planned an itinerary in which I would give my JLPT in Jeju and then move on to Japan. I had a tourist visa for Japan and not for South Korea. So I bought flights from Mumbai to Kuala Lumpur to Jeju to Tokyo. The immigration at Kuala Lumpur refused to allow me to board the flight to Jeju since they had orders from their officer-in-charge and wouldn't stamp my passport and I got to know from them that the reason probably was that many people were being sent back to Kuala Lumpur who went to Jeju from there. Anyway, I was confident and persuaded them to allow me to travel. I finally got permission to travel. I also had some stupid problem at Kuala Lumpur airport, so I was stuck at a terminal and had to actually go over to the other terminal to board my flight, and I thought that I couldn't go because my transit visa expired, it required a transit visa to go to the other terminal. Also, there was an Indian girl in trouble at the airport who didn't know any English or any other local language, so I also had to help her out and our phone batteries were dying out and there were very few charging ports at the terminal. When I finally landed at Jeju and went for checking for immigration, I got pulled over in Jeju International Airport, and they interrogated me about why I was in Jeju? I told them the truth. They said they didn't believe me and locked me up in a room with some other Chinese, Indonesian and Indian people. I had to wait there until my return flight to Kuala Lumpur. Apparently, their rules are that they have to send back the passenger to where the passenger came from. So I waited in that big studio flat kind of room with an iron gate and officers and everything. This was my first time being in a prison kind of environment anywhere in the world including my country. I was furious and frustrated and annoyed and disappointed in the system. I had access to the internet but the signal was sparse. Although I wanted to write about my experience and send it to the Indian embassy in South Korea and all my social media accounts, I didn't. I don't know why. I got acquainted with the other Indian and Indonesian guy in the room and I got adjusted to the situation really quickly and it actually became fun and comfortable living in that room and also my flight was in like two-three days and almost for free since I only had to pay the ground maintenance charges or something which wasn't much, but the downside is that my Japanese plane ticket got wasted and my subsequent ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Japan was much more expensive than the regular price, and also I had some trouble at the Kuala Lumpur airport regarding the Terminals. The Indian guy was there for many weeks. He didn't have any cash on him to buy a ticket back to wherever he came from and also spent all his cash for food, so I helped him for his food. He said he would ask his friend for the ticket and go back in a few days. I didn't hear from him after I left, and I hope he's fine. In the detention centre, we could also order Korean food from a fixed menu of six items by paying it by myself. The food was amazing! The room was spotless. Guards would come every day to clean with vacuum cleaners and mops. It had an attached bathroom and everything. The women's room was separate. It was like a 2BHK, altogether. It also had a huge LED TV and the room was air-conditioned. There were also power outlets to charge the phones. The only thing that wasn't there was a bed. They would only give a sheet in the morning and two sheets at night and a tiny hard pillow. We had to sleep on the floor. We would eat together with other men and women. If I needed extra cash from my bank card, I would give the card and the security pin to the guard, and they would get the money for me from the ATM outside. Our bags were all outside the room. We could access it with permission. The guards were friendly and caring. It was a different kind of tourism experience. Only the immigration guy and the airport customer care were dicks. The customer care speaks very angrily if you called them to ask any doubts. My South Korean friend got very angry and disappointed when he heard of my situation. I called him, and he wasn't allowed to speak with the immigration officer although he wanted to. Unfortunately, since the Wi-Fi was poor in the immigration office, I could not call up my friend when the immigration officer asked me if I can call my South Korean friend. So I regret not having the internet at that time. So, I recommend everybody to always prefer having a smartphone with the best battery, build quality, connectivity, rather than anything else. All other features in a smartphone are secondary. Never compromise on the essential, basic, primary purpose of a phone/smartphone for anything else and don't cheap out of not buying an international data plan and/or insurance. When you are abroad and in the immigration office or any other difficult situation, you need to be prepared. So always think about the worst and always prepare as much as you can. You can check out my photos and videos in Jeju detention room here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5FW7vqe3vHTuxkFU8 In a different incident in Japan, I had lost my passport on the street, which was later immediately picked-up and given to the police by someone. I reported at the police station. The lost and found centre gave me a reference number, and the police gave me a different number. I did not understand why they were different and who I had to ask for my passport. I waited for a month and I would go now and then to the police station to inquire about whether they found my passport. Since I did not remember my visa end date properly, I got worried and went to the Indian Embassy in Tokyo for a new passport. They told me to get some report from the nearby big police station. I went and did so. There they found out after searching for both of the reference numbers that I had, that my passport was found. I collected it. I wanted to thank the person who reported it but I couldn't because they didn't have that person's contact information. All they said is that it was a 28-year-old male and was found half an hour after I lost it. I opened the passport and found that I overstayed by two days in Japan. So, I reported it at the police station, and they took me to the big station where I was interrogated and frisked and photographed and then dropped in a police car for free and out of kindness at the immigration centre. We had a chat in the car about Indian and Japanese police systems and invited them to India. The policemen and women were nice, and they encouraged me to explain my situation properly to immigration. The immigration officials first threatened me to deport and after persuading that, it was not my fault for the overstay and that it was the police's fault, they extended my stay for about two weeks I guess. I tried to go to Jeju once again to see if they would allow me this time, but they didn't let me board the flight at Japan itself. So then I went to Taiwan and then to India.

  43514. I enjoy various languages and cultures. Each language opens up unique culture and you really need the environment to be fluent and to understand how the culture thinks. Its very common to judge the book by its cover, a person's race and dressing where you are the majority. Unless you become a minority in the new environment, you can then feel the differences. In reality, as adults, we have limited resources and priorities to pick up foreign languages. Those who are lucky enough to study foreign languages in colleges and stay in foreign languages will be the next generation of leaders no matter where you will be at. Enjoy all you tube movies on foreign languages like yours as we can see clips of these experiences.

I know how it feels to be away from what you normally do. But in the meantime, keep these vids coming! New sub btw :) I'm not sure how true it is, because I have only heard of it. But I hear that places that are "Yakuza territory" are actually very safe in terms of two-bit criminals being almost non-existent...due to the Yakuza running the city and nothing goes down unless they sanction it. Maybe someone else will chime in and tell me I am full of caca haha!

  43529. People are free to like or not like whatever they like, but to jump on other people for doing it, or to transpose their judgement onto it without looking at other possible context is rather pointless. Live and let live, don't like it, don't watch it, etc.

Do you prefer Japanese, Chinese, American or Korean food? I would love to live in Asia! My wife is from Asia, so she wouldn't mind moving back, but we have a teenage son in High School, so we are here in the USA for a while, maybe someday we could live half the year there half here.

  43578. I've got a questions for those in Japan currently. I'm 25, from England can speak 2 languages (English - Native. Vietnamese - C1.). I'm learning Japanese as we speak and have been teaching English for about 5.5 years (3.5 years experience teaching IELTS). Currently I teach at an international school in Vietnam, but I am looking at moving to Japan. Does my lack of bachelor's degree make it illegal for me to work in Japan? Or are there still legal ways to acquire work? Thanks in advance!

  43606. It's OK to ride on the sidewalk? There are some cities in the LA area where it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk because you might hit a pedestrian. Also, has the electric scooter craze hit Japan? Many of the bigger cities here have had electric scooters that you can rent by the hour. They are mostly parked by subway stations & bus stops for "the last mile," so you can ride the scooter from the station to your work (and just leave the scooter parked outside out of the way on the sidewalk).

  43609. When I first started watching your videos, I thought that you are Canadian! 🤭 Now, I understand why. There's something so familiar to us Canadians about Americans from the border cities. I live in Ibaraki prefecture btw, and I can confirm that there are a lot of abandoned buildings here too. 😢

  43632. Yeah, he's not very good at approaching women. He needs to introduce himself not ask for a random place. He said he's gotten maced before? There's nothing wrong with doing that the only time it becomes an issue is if you're assaulting or harassing someone.
    1
  43633. Very nice wedding! Many blessings to you both and have a wonderful life together.
    1
  43634. Respect! You are really a Pearl. I did not understand a word (besides English of course). However it was so evident through the reaction of the people to the speed at which you constantly replied that you have conquered the languages you were speaking fluently. I have been living in Germany for decades. I understand, speak and read fluently enough for daily use, but grammatically I often need to feel ashamed. Although I must say to my defence I am self-taught (by ear) and never visited a school or learned through any German language courses. Just the same one should never give up a sinking ship 🤪. Back in the day when I started there was no internet to learn from as today. Working long hours to support the family and having little spare time didn't help either with learning. I had the advantage of being married to a German back then and we only spoke German within the family. The mistake that many make in my opinion when living in a foreign country is only using the language when they absolutely have to and otherwise falling back into their mother language constently. I recall that at the beginning I too sometimes thought that people are posssibly talking about me. Somewhere along the line over the years I discoverd that I am not that interesting and surely not that important. 😉 All in all I would recommend that anyone who believes to be interested in any foreign language follow their instinct as it can only enrich ones life and as we could witness in your video often makes it so easy to endulge in friendly communications. Wish You a nice day and kamsamida for your video.

  43638. oh no, now I want a video on all of the bad advice that people give which may actually hurt people's progress and not help them. I wonder if I tried any of that advice when I was starting out...
    1
  43639. You are super inspiring. I love your videos as always! I wanted to ask you a question since you master both Chinese and Japanese. I have been studying Japanese for almost a year (really enjoying it) I know hiragana and katakana but we have just started learning kanji. Would you recommend studying Chinese given that its been a year since i started Japanese or would you suggest waiting? i still havent finished the first Minna no nihongo book. Im a bit more than half way there.
    1
  43640. Do you have any tips for learning japanese for total beginner? I literally don't know how to study, if that makes any sense?! I loose focus very quickly and can't concentrate on a lesson even if I think it's very interesting. And how to actually remember stuff you've learned and be sure not to forget it? I always struggle with this! Another thing is that I'm embarrased to try speaking japanese(or any foreign language) out loud 'cause I'm afraid I'll sound stupid, pronounce the words incorrectly or say the wrong thing!!!

  43655. I speak English and Spanish, I am BILINGUAL. I know how to say things in Japanese, K'iche, French and Italian, but I am nowhere near trilingual or fluent in any of them. I know some words and would never claim to be a polyglot because of that. People who know how to say certain phrases or words in a poor, or decent accent get on my nerves because it takes away from those of us who have really put time and effort into being an advanced speaker

  43663. Enjoyed watching this. Thanks for the intro. For what it's worth, I have a slightly different take on the international - weeaboo thingy. I've lived over half my life in Japan now, about 40 years ... and other than a few movies by Studio Ghibli and Kurosawa, and reading the English translation of Yoshkawa Eiji's 'Miyamoto Musashi, I never got into traditional culture or history. Instead, I pursued the same hobbies I would have pursued back in the states, fishing and music (mostly jazz and things Brazilian), and picked up Japanese buddies and language through pursuing those things that Japan and the states have in common. Peering around the docks for small jack trevally or barracuda (small ronin aji or kamasu), or scanning the horizon for a school of sardines (iwashi) underneath of which might be found amberjack or yellowfin (kampachi or kihada) — there is no 'Japanese' or 'Foreign' fishermen. Just smelly old men (and sometimes women) looking in the same direction. As for jazz, I'd argue that Miles, Bill Evans, and Tom Jobim are more likely to be heard and played here in Japan than their native countries. I see myself as just another social primate looking to enjoy life, and language, history, or 'high' culture as just a few of many tools facilitating that aim.

  43664. Is it uncommon in Tokyo to find foreigners that speak fluent Japanese at a bar? I’ve been living in Gifu for a long time and hardly find any that do. Most foreigners that I do meet are here on short term usually one year contracts.

  43693.  @OrientalPearl  I know. I know. I'm from the UK and I was just surprised to see all those face masks. It seems to be the norm in Japan. I wonder if some people thought it would be rude to appear surprised at you speaking Chinese. I've seen a video from another YouTuber, and every time someone simply "looks up" he claims that *PING* it is because they are surprised. But sometimes I don't see any surprise on their face, they just look up or turn round because he is speaking. It would actually be odd if they didn't. Anyway, nice video, and it must be really great to be so in touch with disparate cultures through language.

  43694. No matter the topic someone is going to complain or have something negative to say. I’m currently trying to learn one language and these language videos are inspiring. Keep up the great work you guys and just ignore the complainers.

  43697. So happy to be notified about a new video from you! You look different now, more sophisticated maybe ? and your make up looks different too! You are rocking the new look! When i lived in Hong Kong, i often heard people talking about me, not so much what they said, but they used the word for foreigner, gweilo, so you knew that you were being talked about. I also had a blue eyed blond friend who was born and raised in Hong Kong, went to local schools etc. He spoke native level cantonese, mandarin, as well as english. He had many funny stories about people talking about him, and their reaction when he spoke back to them!! Never judge a book by its cover!

  43698. I’ve seen the way you communicate in English, Japanese, and Chinese language. You do it well. I’m sure you’ll be able to have a high level of fluency in Korean AND Vietnamese in no time. :)

  43760. In my experience with Spanish and American Sign Language, it is difficult to learn a language. Eight semesters of Spanish and I retained very little of it.

  43761. Another wonderful video! I just lost my job as a teacher here in the states due to the virus situation. Not to be a total wierdo but your video made my day a bit better 😊 ありがとうございました🌸

  43764. i think you should visit all your chinese friends in japan before you go back to china. they will surely miss you. hope you can make a video of that.

  43765. Hello could I ask you what bachelor did you choose to study to get to travel and have these possibilities in Japan? I also speak 5 languages but i am unsure of what bachelor i should get to have the opportunity to go there in Japan! Awesome video btw!
    1
  43766. Yep, the chances of finding someone fluent in multiple languages is almost 0%. It takes too much time to obtain mastery over a single language.

  43771. In india they have a similar thing, but it's bigger. It's called with various names such as Buguri or also known as Top. Both cultures are so similar.

  43773. Are you familiar with 李小牧? He has an interesting story of coming up in Japan's underworld after immigrating from China. He now has set his sights on political office since he has naturalized.

  43780. From my journey. If you try to learn before hand, and you continue to learn during your visit. You WILL have men and women gravitate to you. Its fun to learn culture. And even better to better language with others your hanging out with. Practice at least basic language, gestures and learn culture before you visit ANYWHERE. And people will love to help you, and enjoy your company.
    1
  43781. Kinda weird that people actually judge others on the things they do enjoy doing, you do you that’s all that matters

  43782. Your English accent is interesting too; can't quite place where you grew up in the US. Don't encounter your accent too often

  43783. Just be kind to each other and stay excellent, dudes. Enjoy life, don't be a hater.

  43784. Congratulations. Did you husband convert to Catholicism? I still find it super strange to see a Catholic church and ceremony in Japan! Shame your family couldn't be there.

  43790. I remembered when i used to live in Vietnam, from '69-'79, we used to play a similar thing. But our top is much larger, & we played it on the ground. If that alley was in the usa, it'd be graffiti, trash everywhere.

  43791. Hi Congratulations for doing such interesting videos. I am Portuguese and I started to learn Japanese few years and it has been a long process because unfortunately I don't have much time, but I am still learning the best I can... So you are an inspiration for me and help me to maintain my focus in learning.

  43792. Chinese and Japanese as well?? Wow, mad respect

  43797. The polyglot in me is sooo fan girling over you!
    1
  43798. I can’t believe people are making videos about you in bad light. For me as a black person people are surprised I lam earning a new language and want to continue to learn more. But you as a white female learning languages and connecting with actual people ….is a bad thing. In these days you can catch a break. Your a gorgeous, intelligent human being and I only had to watch one video to know when I clicked on this and watched it that them ignorant jerks are in the wrongs. It’s sad honestly.
    1
  43799. When your a pretty women you often get to see people's best no matter the location. Not so much as a white, male serviceman; it's all relative.

  43804. You don't need American citizenship to invest in stock market and have social security number. I opened my first stock brokerage account when I was in my early 20s as foreign student in American college. After several decades, my stocks investment gave me FIRE (financial independence retire early). Yup, now I am an US citizen and top1% tax payer. All this came from two decades of middle class job income.

  43805. I was an art major graduate. 4 credits of a foreign language away from BA..so I graduated with a BS instead. I taught 7yrs in Korea, 7 in Japan and going to finish up my 3rd and last year in China. I guess i'm heading back to Japan again as an English teacher a bit, hopefully my manga i'm working on gets made. :D

  43809. One thing I noticed from Japanese people they tend to sugar coat things although they mean the other thing. They are not open to their feelings having difficulty in expressing themselves. Being polite is just to be safe. ^.^ 🇵🇭

  43820. Really good video. I like your positive attitude, that's what brought me to your channel. Never give up!
    1
  43821. I like when people say that my English pronunciation is good, but I've never lived outside my country, so I don't know how it feels for you, but you're being complimented, it can be a bad thing. Besides, it really makes people happy when someone from outside can understand them in their first language. You're bringing a moment of happiness to people, ever thought about that?

  43831. It is a great video ! In France we have to master english before anything else. I started spanish but it is so hard to keep a good level in english while I am trying to learn another language. In Europe it is mandatory to learn english and we still struggle with the pronunciation 😂 I also enrolled in a chinese course but the tones freaked me out so much. It is too different from the french / english system

  43832. 你太厉害了吧👍💯 omoshiroi :D

  43833. Hi there so I wanted to ask regarding Japanese are you self taught or did you go to school and learn? I recently took a Japanese class at a university but since it is only a semester long it was really fast paced I could barely keep up especially with three other communication classes and a part-time job I never had time to study so I had to swap it for another Communications class. I don’t wanna give up on learning Japanese and was wondering if you can recommend any websites or apps that can help me learn I do not care if I have to pay a or if they are free. Arigatogosaimasu 🙂

  43839. 2:28 One of the problems is that a lot of toxic habits are baked into our culture (not just in Japan) esp. in a relationship.

  43840. 这朋友也太好看了叭

  43841. I think the only way you'll stop hearing them say "Your Chinese is good" is when they see more caucasians speaking Chinese. Trust me, you can only take it as a complement!
    1
  43842. I've learned a lot from Japan about their culture and people because of you. And it is so funny to see them trying to handle the situation because you caught them off guard lol

  43844. Definitely agree that you should dedicate time on learning a language. For someone who has a full time job like myself, an hour a day of study is a big accomplishment. Also listening to pod101 during travel or lunch break helps squeeze in some more study time. Thanks for this! Arigatou gozaimasu!

  43846. I love watching your videos for the past few years. You are amazing! 😻 I am deaf so I solely rely on closed captioning to follow along your journey. If you can, are you able to include closed captioning in English when you speak English? There are millions of people out there that may not hear so well… more viewers for you. 😊 again as always I continue to follow your videos because you are awesome! 😎
    1
  43847. Love the mood
    1
  43848. I wonder what the reactions would be if you made that experiment (addressing people in English, then switching to German) in Germany. I like to think that many of my fellow countrymen speak English well enough to not panic or feel embarrassed. Ah, it might be different in different regions or whether you conduct that experiment in a big city or in the countryside. People in big cities like Munich or Berlin are used to be addressed in English, especially but not only during tourist season.

  43865. Now watching the video fully it was actually surreal. Random videos of your past, socializing with your roommates and talking to a Japanese snowman who not a typical snowman tells me that you are homesick. Are you homesick? I know the pandemic is making people nervous all over the world. Especially the change of wear. You are using facemask and cleaning more often but before you were comfortable going outside with no protection. I just hope you are well and healthy. Please be safe and try to stay positive.
    1
  43866. Yeah!!! Love your videos O. Pearl. Hugs from Argentina

  43867. Nice videos! I've been trying to learn Japanese so thanks for the reccomendation! Keep up the great videos! (:

  43868. honestly dont understand the hate you get. love your content and keep doing you. the moment you start making content for other people other than you then theres no love.
    1
  43869. When I'm helped by a service representative on the phone and I recognize their Filipino accent (Filipinos always speak English in an even monotone with no stressed syllables), I respond with "Salamat" and they're shocked. Or I will say "Hamnida" to Korean dry-cleaner cashiers.
    1
  43870. I really like this format and this content. I am sure there is much more to learn! Thank you!
    1
  43871. love the ending... So...can I have tea=D I find it so nice that even though Japan has small places, it doesn't feel cramped. <3
    1
  43872. Glad you're ok!!
    1
  43873. That's a valid remark for everything. You shouldn't be afraid to make mistakes to learn. Unless of course you're doing some sort of surgery or rocket precision thing ahah
    1
  43874. is anming your chinese name? what's your English name?
    1
  43875. Like Quijote said: "let the dogs bark, its a sign we are moving forward". Keep up the good work for those who are interested in learn new languages.

  43876. you make it look so easy switching from japanese to chinese and back and it's fun to watch the reactions of the staff! it's also a joy to watch you, because I think you're smart, kind and beautiful too stay safe! xx

  43877. Please go to Laos. the greeting there "Sabei Dee" is a real pleasure.

  43878. i dont really eat breakfast either. but i've never had a chinese breakfast so saying i prefer japanese would be knocking one out before i even try it. once things are better and i have some free time i'd like to see if there's anyone in ny where i can go with friends and enjoy it. we usually eat chinese food in china town or flushing for lunch or dinner, so i'd really like to see how similar, or different, breakfast is. it was a nice vid to watch! i don't think i'd have the guts to try pigs eat tho! i'm quite the picky eater 😭
    1
  43879. i also didn't realize clicking the notification bell made such a difference. i usually still get notifs in my inbox, altho they may come a bit (days) later. i changed it from personalized (not even sure what this refers to? bc i don't remember setting any parameters but i digress) to all. this such a nice and inspiring channel. i hope you'll continue to grow. also saw your live stream earlier! loved it!

  43890. I'm a linguistics major and I'm fluent in one Language 🥴. I've had two years of spanish when I was a teenager but I lost the passion to continue learning. I live in a spanish Culture environment so I'm still able to have basic spanish conversation because of this. Last year, I couldn't tell the difference between japanese, Korean and mandarin. Now, I'm learning Korean and Chinese. I've been learning chinese since January of 2020 and I'm now in HSK3 level but I constantly review HSK2&1 so to master them. I've been learning Korean since April but stopped after two months. After creating a study schedule, I restarted Korean one month ago. Monday through Thursday are my Chinese days. Monday is HSK 2 day. I practice writing ten characters 25 times each, I Practice listening and speaking with my tutor. Tuesday I have Tuttle Intermediate. One chapter every two weeks And I learn at least 1-3 conversational phrases from a phrase book. WEDNESDAY: I use my tuttle grammar book one chapter every two weeks Thursday- is review and quiz day of everything I studied from Monday-Wednesdy. Frida, Saturday and Sunday are Korean days. Friday TTMIK level one It's so freaking easy and entertaining I think this is an easy transition into Korean from chinese and easy for Korean beginners period. I follow each chapter by the audio lessons that's provided online. Then, they have an audio lesson 1 listening quiz. Saturday- how to study Korean- Unit 1 followed by the audio lessons that are available online. And Sunday I work out of one TEXTBOOK which is Integrated Korean followed by Mr. Yoon's integrated Korean class on youtube Because he teaches through the book and he's a native. I'll work out of these same materials for 90 days. My goal is to master each chapter.... Throughout the weekend, Im learning five conversational phrases per week. This week I'm working on informal GREETINGS. If I don't learn five by next week, then I'll study them again until I learn it. I'm in no rush to learn Korean. I'm only in a rush to learn chinese lol 🤣 I'll stick to this for 90 days. By the end of 90sl days, if I'm unable to repeat what's said on the audio files, or understand them, then I'll study again for another 30 days before I move forward. I think it's best for me to keep this to myself because someone always want to test my skills by speaking these Languages to me incredibly fast🤣🥴 😩 😩😫 Don't test me, teach me🙄🥴🥰 Anyway, how I developed my schedule was definitely through trial and error.

  43903. I remember visiting China Town in Yokohama in early 70s. It must have changed a lot since. One thing I’ve noticed in your video is that many stores are closed. Was it because time of the day you visited or due to COVIT19?

  43904. Theres just something about you .. that makes me absolutely love you .. I hope my wife is like you when I find her 🤣

  43905. Very sad for these people. Government needs to assist more.

  43906. Absolutely love your videos!! It’s really so impressive how fluent you’ve become. I’ve been studying Japanese through covid at my university in the US and I’ve never enjoyed studying anything else more 😍 If I may I ask — how long did you study Japanese before living there for 2 years? I feel like after a year of practicing, I know so much but there’s still sooo much vocab/kanji that I don’t know 😭. Hoping to become super fluent at some point too :)

  43918. Next time you find your self with a group of little kids and they ask were you're from. Say you have a map to show them then hold up your right hand and point to were in Michigan you're from. That might blow there little minds. They might go to school and ask the teacher to show them Michigan on a map.

  43919. found this channel organically, typed in this style of video. glad to see you grow.

  43920. I think the answer is in the middle--they're not quite telling the absolute truth, but they're not just trying to be nice either. Speaking as an Asian myself, if I heard a foreigner/Westerner speaking my native language, I'd think the following: 1. "Wow, this person really made the effort to learn my language. That's impressive by itself!" 2. "And they speak English well? And, and, they can speak my language too? That's amazing!" Speaking English in many countries Asia, for good and bad, has a connotation of elevated status by itself. So adding anything to "and they can speak English too?" will likely get you a compliment, regardless of how your skill level in the target language actually is. I think this sums it up best: when you stop hearing "your ________ is really good!" and they just continue talking with you, that's when you actually know you're REALLY good in your target language. Haha.

  43924. To remember back the Chinese mandarin I learned since childhood, I used an app called hellochinese created by a Chinese teacher with lessons, oral tests, oral exercises, games to practice in a fun way, handwriting practice and when I practice in videos live on Facebook my Taiwanese friends say my Chinese is very good. Of course I also received compliments on my Chinese writing, I try to practice with Chinese native came to live in Portugal, was one of the Chinese here who gave me the Chinese news paper to practice my reading , in my videos and pics people can see the sentences I wrote in Chinese mandarin to put on my wall. I tried translate the simplified Chinese characters into the traditional, that's what I put on my walls and I write my diary in Chinese to practice also.

  43925. Interesting. Doesn't Japan have a higher suicide rate then US due to the insular/closed nature of society? I wonder if the birth rate is still declining. Best wishes!

  43926. Like anything, it's all about intention. For ppl looking to explore other cultures and build connections, it's truly incredible. Especially to ppl like me who only speak one language, it's almost like having a super power. But some of these channels do seem exploitative and....."gross". I see both sides of the argument.

  43935. I went roller skating for the first time in over two decades in early 2020 and I just have to say I was really shocked when me and my friend automatically picked roller blades only to find that the arena was entirely packed full of kids and teenagers using ONLY regular roller skates. We both remembered it being "un-cool" to not choose blades and it was just a little hilarious to realize times had actually changed. Also, all the men's skates were of better quality. That hasn't changed. 😐😅

  43957. I see more effort in your videos and I love it! Keep going! people feel it when you‘re doing the videos just for klicks (I read about your situation), the started to watch you because the noticed you like what you‘re doing there. Love from Germany 😊

  43958. 3:39 I respectfully disagree (somewhat)! I wear lolita, decora, and fairy kei, and I am an introvert. I wear it bc it gives me confidence 😊 I love this video though. Your channel has given me more inspiration to study Japanese!

  43961. A gentleman I know once holidayed in Japan. He said he became tired of the Japanese food and longed for a Western meal like a roast. My experience with Japanese food is relatively limited, unfortunately, but I love it. I doubt there'd be a lot of trouble adjusting to the cuisine.

  43962. Gratz! Wishing you two the very best!

  43963. I think there's definitely something to where someone might make a claim that's at the least disingenuous if not outright untruthful. I have heard some of these people say without name dropping anyone that they've been studying for some number of weeks and their "fluency" or skill level does seem much further along than the 3 or 6 weeks they may have claimed to have been studying the language. Of course the other difficulty is the fact that language is such a vast thing with many factors, there's listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing and many factors that go into someone learning and the pace they can and are learning at right, like practicing 8 hours a day for 3 weeks will make a much bigger difference than someone doing 15 minutes a day for 3 weeks, or someone who practices every few days or once a week vs someone who does 15 minutes or an hour a day even. So with so many factors and how someone practices also influencing things it's very hard to gauge. I'm guessing that many of these "polyglots" have the time and resources to sort of make it more like a full time job/hobby where they can invest more time and resources to learning a language faster as well. Some of the ones I've watched anyways at least have pointed out some of the tricks that you can use to at least seem more conversationally adept even if not fluent and even when learning just enough to speak just a bit with someone who is a native speaker.

  43965. This was priceless lol I didn't know that people were uncomfortable with this kind of content. Sometimes when I don't feel like watching this things I just don't watch it at all lol. I actually totally agree with you guys cause you know, I get encouraged many times watching videos Iike this. It's like, these videos bring me some good feelings other than just study grammar or whatever.

  43971. Respectfully I would argue that "Yankee" and especially the shortened version "Yank" in English is or can be a negative word but one that is often meant and used as a friendly slander just like Limey or Pom for British people. As with a lot of things it will depend on how and when you say it, the intonation, body language etc., so my advice would be to use it with caution, especially if you are not a native English speaker. For reference, this is my understanding as a British person. Perhaps it varies across the world. Love the channel. Keep up the great work!

  43981. a friend of mine moved to thailand years ago, hes pretty much thai now, speaks the language, has a good position as teacher, lives with a local etc. i asked him if he intended to have a family and his response was that as a teacher there he has practically fathered a whole generation of thai kids as he has been there from the beginning of their development pretty much up through to their secondary stage of education. its pretty wild especially considering that in our home country he was a school drop out like myself ;) lol.. just goes to show that you can never really predict where the forks in the road will take you ?

  43986. why does people always answer with "its okay" "not the best" "really not that good" when someone compliments their language skills and it's actually really good ? First of all i would say thank you and be more confident 🥴

  43993. I think polyglots (actual polyglots) speak usually 5 or more languages to conversational level usually they’re are a couple they speak very very well and a few they can survive say to say life with. I think that’s what makes someone a polyglot. I think the issue is when someone says they’re a hyper polyglot who is fluent in most the languages they speak
    1
  43994. I kinda want to make videos like these but instead of being the guy who always says "flawless Chinese" in the description I'll just put "halfway decent" there instead.

  43997. I'm from Portugal, born in '84. I grew up in the suburbs of the capital, Lisbon, but lived in Alentejo (from 10 years old to 18), which is more of a rural region, south of the Capital. They also have spinners, though they are wooden and much larger, about the size of a fist from a 10y old kid or young woman. From what I remember, the point of the game was to try and knock out the already spinning ones, though the version shown here looks to be more communal, less competitive. Regardless, it's so interesting and fascinating to watch there's something like that in Japan. Also, I know some japanese and I really love your videos with japanese and also chinese. I feel the different languages in the world are so interesting and it brings so much joy to everyone being able to communicate in another's native language. Excellent job, so wonderful, keep it up!
    1
  43998. That's super cool! I love how Chinese sounds. I tried learning it a few years ago but it was too difficult to me. Maybe because I tried to learn on my own. Maybe I will try to learn again someday but I doubt I'll be have time. I have to focus on German and English since I live&work in EU (Polish is my native language). Japanese I study as a hobby and also because I plan to visit at least once. Would be cool to learn Chinese or Korean someday, if I live long enough...

  44033. I think Wouter is the wrong person to debate this with because he doesn't use the dumb racist clickbait titles and thumbnails and he is pretty honest about his language skill levels. He also goes to speak with tourists and does these little games and challenges. And on his streams he says outright that he knows only 6 languages at a B level or higher.
    1
  44034. Maybe you should learn Ainu next. As an endagered language you'd be doing the world a favor by popularizing it a little.

  44037. Someone wrote of fluency versus proficiency - a very important aspect. One language learner can sound quite fluent, and communicate at ease, at a relatively low level of proficiency. - Someone else may have studied a language for years, and may be at a high level of proficiency as far as grammar, vocabulary and comprehension. But maybe they are shy to speak, or they have difficulty pronouncing new sounds, or they just have a terrible accent, and don't sound as good as the other, confident, beginner level speaker. - I've personally known examples of both, and drawn the conclusion that, in order to be accepted as 'fluent', you need above all to 'sound right'. - What's your experience?

  44038. Dear Anming ! What do you think about an outfit switch with some of your friends? Esp . this lovely Bird? In a way that you would style each other head to tow? That would be a fun Video :-D Greetings from Germany! Btw. What does JSL looks like compared to other Signlanguages in Asia? Do you know someone native to speak about this? How do they deal with international SL ?? Love your content :-D

  44045. Oh the thing with "where should I go" happened to me in China too. We got sent around the city to like three or four telephone stores just to find out it didn't provide the service we asked for until we found one that actually sold contracts to foreigners. I had a friend with me who speaks perfect Chinese so this wasn't the problem but we spent like half a day just driving around 30 minute one direction rides in the city.

  44048. Yes drinking coke out of glass has a different taste then cans or plastic. Plus drinking coke with real sugar like Mexican made coke with cane sugar tastes different. Your room mates look to be a great group. When in Michigan (and in season) I like to go to Bill's Drive in Ypsilanti, Michigan. For their 'loose meat' sandwiches (hot dog buns filled with loose meat) . Plus Bill's has great home made root beer. So do your friends over there like root beer? Most people outside of the US don't understand nor like it. LOL now a video of them trying root beer would be fun to see if they like it or not. Take care have a great day and be safe. Spin

  44049. Hi All, interesting topic, thanks. I feel that, both of your experiences can be relatable on many levels. Be it any language, the choice of language should not define ones true self. Challenging to break down those walls. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

  44050. This is awesome. So far, I've been living in Japan for two years and slowly working towards my "impossible" goals as an artist/musician. I'm always working and studying but I'm too stubborn to give up. lol
    1
  44051. I have been living in China for 20 years since I was 3, and I would definitely say your Chinese is impeccable. Probably yours is as good as mine or even better XD I could see how hard you studied day and night for a long time. BTW what State are you from? Are you from Wisconsin?
    1
  44052. I only can speak English and Spanish. I have watched some of these polyglot videos and when some of these polyglots spoke Spanish they were not good.
    1
  44053. You're so good at speaking Chinese even though I don't even understand the language and it seems that you don't even have a strong American accent when speaking it. An American speaking Chinese in Japan must be surprising to the Chinese people there, more so than speaking to Chinese people from the US. I'm gonna look forward to your stay in South Korea and speaking to the locals and see their reaction to it and it's gonna be so cool when they realize you also speak Chinese and Japanese.
    1
  44054. I think it also depends on your personality, too. people are definitely more apt to talk if you're friendly and have those japanese manners down lol.

  44055. Cow tongue is a big dish in my Hispanic culture and I know what you mean by being surrounded in a place by something you don’t like. It’s pronounced “barbacoa” in Spanish. I’m not a big fan of it. I’m constantly surrounded by the food and also by people who love it. People are always like “what? You don’t like it? Why? Everyone here likes it.” I just tell them I’m not a big fan. It’s a food that’s almost always at parties or at gatherings. Sometimes I won’t eat if that’s all there is. Probably only side dishes. I end up getting weird looks lol. It’s oily, greasy, fatty, and it doesn’t help that I don’t like red meat that much. I completely understand you.

  44056. Ok I only saw the few clips of these people in your video but I could just tell already that they've been poisoned by this sjw virtue signalling mind lol

  44060. They are extremely modest. They won't tell you what they actually think but will be polite and tell you that you speak Japanese well. :) It's that honne–tatemae thing in Japan. It's hard to tell if what someone says is genuine and what is a facade. Still nice to hear positive comments on your Japanese ability^^ I'm sure the older generation would be more sincere and believable if they told you how good your Japanese is.

  44079. well English counts as well but make sure you speak English with non-native speakers you can impress them for sure many people will comment on your speaking skills and ask how you've learned it, plus thanks to your language skills you can get extra respect from others

  44098. Really like watching your videos from Japan. Lived there for three years from 5th-7th grade as an Air Force brat (Misawa AFB). Your videos bring back many good memories of the country. We only learned enough Japanese to be pleasant and to buy things. Survivor of the 1968 Earthquake. Keep the videos coming!

  44103. This the first video I’ve seen from you. Your Japanese is very impressive! It is also very interesting to see it from your perspective. I’ve been to Hong Kong and I’d imagine that Japan is nothing like China or to be more specific; HK is nothing like Tokyo. I’m planning to go to Japan when the ban lifts. I hope by then that there’s a vaccin as well though. In the meantime i’m just gonna follow you and see how you experience it. Thank you! (Im from the Netherlands btw)

  44104. I watched some really misleading and outright racist stuff about Japan today, also couldn't stop myself of reading the comments, they're exactly what you'd expect in these videos, and it was an absolute waste of time that just sucked my energy out and made me depressed... Then I stumbled across this, felt like therapy. Ty :) ...

  44106. I guess most of the people who criticise you are just jealous because you are living their dream. I mean, they are already aware of you and your vids. Doesnt that mean they are interested in the stuff you share with us?

  44143. This video gave me courage to 1. Talk to strangers 2. Wear the clothes I like 3. Not afraid to go to different countries and learn how to speak their language I've been learning Japanese for quite awhile now, but my parents doesn't know that. I'm afraid they would judge me for what I'm doing.
    1
  44144. Many of the negative comments come from Americans who are insecure about not knowing anything other than English. I learned several languages after being inspired by Wouter. However, there are a few youtubers who are completely faking their abilities. I have found two that are complete frauds. I just chose not to watch their content anymore. It’s as simple as that. Hate typically comes from jealousy or insecurity.

  44145. Man your so good at speaking chinese and Japanese my mom cant speak Japanese tho but she can speak mandarin i dont think that how u spell it but i dont kniw how also my mom can speak chinese Taiwanese korean my mom can speak a little bit of japanese my mom said she learned chinese language by there actions but i dont even know what chinese people are saying
    1
  44146. Hey Pearl, I haven't heard a Michigan accent much before, so it's quite novel sounding to me. I like it. You're quite unique in you language ability with both Chinese and Japanese. I've learnt Chinese through mass reading of novels, and am also learning French, so I know the time it takes. I don't think I will start another language, at least not with the intent of understanding it deeply. I imagine it must be difficult thinking up new content all the time. But then again, a lot of people just enjoy the everyday vlog videos. 祝你幸福

  44149. That's what I found too, my Japanese is nothing special, I only know about 100 kanji, but I had native Japanese teachers to learn good pronunciation and grammar. What I found was it was a way to relax some people, especially older people who would be a bit intimidated by a big gaijin. Like she says, you don't have to be fluent to talk to people, if you make the effort to talk in as much Japanese as you can, people appreciate it, and will try to help if they can.
    1
  44150. This is my biggest problem right now :( I've been studying for a while but am too scared to practice... I've only got language exchange apps and I hate phone calls, which makes me more of a chicken lol. Thinking of paying for an online tutor for a while instead to hopefully shake the nerves off... you motivate me to learn more!

  44166. Your Mom looks very young, more like your sister. We couldn’t deal with the number of people everywhere either even in the woods. The only place we didn’t come across a lot of people was deep in the woods in Iwata prefecture outside Morioka. We found many Japanese who were very huggy types especially in karate circles.

  44177. Anming, what a wonderful adventure with your friends!! You always continue to inspire me. I think that once we are able to travel again AND my school in Prague reopens, I would like to start a channel and share my knowledge of Russian and Czech, like us do with Japanese and Chinese. I was to share my experience there as an expat, but also blend in some music reactions as well... culture, language, music, and fun...I hope to do even half as good as you do!! I also had lingua (cows tongue Mexican prep) and didn't care for it either- I would go hunt down KFc too..! Great editing job! You are getting so good at post...like a pro now!

  44178. Great. However you are checking martial arts in Japan, but have not been to a Ninjitsu Class as well. It is good you showed an unusual ninja cafe. Love learning the martial culture and the martial arts forms. You may have a greater reach then most of the students perhaps?

  44181. Hi there! Been watching your vlogs since then and I just saw this. Well, to somehow explain the reason why some of the locals of that specific country says “you’re good in speaking in for example japanese or chinese” that is because their language itself is hard to study. Even if you will speak “bisaya or tagalog” here in the Philippines i would be so proud and give two thumbs up for you. It amazes me watching you speak diff languages coz me myself wants to speak japanese fluently. However, JAPANESE IS REALLY SO HARD TO LEARN for me who’s just studying alone at home. By the way, keep on posting vlogs coz it makes my day. 気をつけてねー

I think they all just jealous or stupid, correct me if im wrong.. language are the bridges for all of us to connect one and to another, we're not alone in this world if i may say, so to those giving the bad comment about polyglot, can have a f*** nice day 😈🤙

  44204. Awesome video. I've always been quite skeptical towards that kind of ppl for the very reasons you explained so straightforwardly. Usually legits polyglots who didn't studied so much the languages are like 3rd culture children, with 2 foreign parents coming from 2 different countries, living in a 3rd country and studying English at school. So like they are able to speak the 2 parents' languages, the 3rd one of the country they live in and English. Like: Italian + French at home German in the country English as 2nd language at school. In this way they speaks natively 3 languages and have English as the studied one. There could be slots for at least another language, like Spanish, often studied in European schools. I'm Italian, I studied 3 languages + 1 at high school (in Italy they last 5 years, 6 hours a day in the morning from Mon to Sat. I had 2 more hours 2 times a week for the optional 4th language and for the lessons with the native speakers professors of the others). I studied English, French, German + Spanish. We had grammar, literature and commercial language for all the 3 main languages, since my school was oriented to import-export fields, meaning that with the high-school graduation you were ready to be hired by a import-export company or society and be able to understand and speak all the language on a professional and technical level. But I've never worked for that field and for this I've forgotten so much for French, German and Spanish. Even my English is far poorer than 20 yrs ago, since I didn't speak or wrote it for years. I'm also a native speaker of Romagnol dialect, despite I'm forgotting it more and more with the passing of the time. Unfortunately I was used to speak it mainly with my grandma and my mother but since the first died almost 20 yrs ago and my mother stopping speaking it due to my niece and nephew not picking it up, I've not so many occasions to speak it :C Now I'm trying to study Japanese on my own, but it's a quest!

  44219. As an American, speaking American English natively, when I speak to a foreigner who speaks English, if I can understand their words and the general meaning of what they're saying without having to stop myself and think about it, I think their English is good, even if they say something in an unconventional way or their pronunciation is very tinged by their native accent. I don't expect a non-native speaker to sound totally natural. What matters most to me is I understand their meaning and that they can use enough English to get it across clearly. It impresses me anyways since I am not fluent at more than one language yet, so they shouldn't be embarrassed, they are doing more than I am and most Americans are in regard to really trying to speak another language. If we can hold a conversation for more than a few minutes I'm even more impressed. Though, I usually don't tell anyone I think their English is good unless they stumble for a word and then apologize for it or say their are embarrassed about their English. At that point I want to reassure them that their English is good, otherwise I might not say so because I don't want to sound patronizing, especially if they are an American and English just isn't their first language at home or in their community. You don't have to speak English to live here, though I would recommend learning it just because it's the most common language. I can tell you how to know if your English is bad. It's when you try to talk to someone and they just act totally confused and after trying to understand you, they eventually just walk away from you because they can't understand. If that doesn't happen to you then you probably have adequate English. If it does, practice and study with others and try again later. You'll get it!

  44241. Good cover. I live along the Tamagawa (Noborito) for over 30 years, and in Japan for 41, but don't know where that homeless encampment is. Could someone name the nearest station? Because of the bamboo, I am thinking upstream, around Ome ... but I could be mistaken. I also occasionally join up with an NPO supporting the homeless in Shinjuku called "Soup no Kai". They meet every Saturday at 7:00 pm at the Big Eye stained glass mosaic about 200 meters from Shinjuku JR's West exit, and after circling up for a brief self intro, branch out into 3 courses covering the area. We do not so much presume to give "top-down" aid, but rather, sit down with them, share a cup of miso soup, share stories and practical information about housing (a few prefer to be homeless because of govt. housing restrictions), health, jobs, etc. After about 2 hours, we meet back at the same place, circle up, share information and impressions. The younger participants (including parents bringing elementary school kids) head home at about 9;, but some of us will head to a rental room, pick up some snacks and beer at a convenience store, and chat about life, politics, world problems, etc until the last train home ... sometimes til the next morning. By the way, the suicide rate is high among the homeless ... less for practical reasons, more for psychological reasons (mukanshin ... being dehumanized by passersby). And there are a few women among the homeless. They have an extra burden of being molested by others among the homeless. The good thing about the homeless in Japan compared to the U.S. and Canada ... very few, if any, are addicted to mind altering substances, and surprisingly few even drink alcohol. So it is quite safe, especially in small groups familiar with the homeless, to help out and let them know they are not forgotten. For anyone interested in photos and more information, I have written several Quora pieces about this from about 9 years ago under my name "Steven F. Martin".

  44246. Hah, I am the definition of the people being discussed in this video. I don’t really flex it though because I know what level I’m at lmao. The only one I know a bit more than the others is Korean, but that’s because I’ve been studying SUPER inconsistently for about 3 years (like hella inconsistent)

  44249. You are an inspiration to us all to keep working with our language skills every chance we have. It is always nice to see the reaction on people’s faces when you speak to them in their own language and it quickly breaks down any barriers. If we all spoke more languages I’m sure the world would be a better and more understanding place. Hello from the U.K.

  44250. Omg! That was embarrasing ahahahah. You can't say that to a client! You are really learning a lot there, especially when getting correction from your colleagues. I wished I had had such a job only to be able to learn ahahah. Good luck and keep enjoying learning! That's a great opportunity!

  44258. Self deprecation is normal. Absolutrly normal. No one can live up to the false standard these "polyglots" put out there, and no one's going to spiral becausd of it. Okay, maybe one person. By your logic, no woman should read magazines, because all the models are airbrushed. Today's society encourages fluffy mental weakness. End of story.

  44270. I bet there's a lot of so called 'stigmatised properties' in that region. I just saw a documentary on the subject. People can buy or rent properties much cheaper than normal if they get one that's reputedly haunted (by people that died suddenly or violently). There are specialist estate agents in Japan that only deal in these stigmatised properties. So if you don't believe in ghosts, then I guess it's a way to get a larger house cheaply.

  44271. Very inspiring and encouraging.

  44272. Rehashing content? Np. I’ll watch it again!

  44273. after seeing all those videos of people being herded onto trains that seemed rather serene. Your street shots reminded me of Rody's street shots that were devoid of people. keep op the good videos, and I am waiting for your collaboration with Rody to come up on YouTube. P.S. you have enough free time to learn how to cook. lol.

  44287. Otsukaresama desu. Mine alarm goes at 6 AM. When I am lucky I drive myself in 90 minutes, one way, to my job. Usually longer. Around 7 PM I am home. Make me something to eat, clean, and go to sleep. But I have an awesome job. But the whole day using my brains, makes driving most times tricky. When I should traffel with public transportation it will be somewhere around 3 hours one way and the first 30 minutes I still have to drive myself. And then I find a great video of you about Japan, that makes me forget everything. Thank you. Domo arigato gozaimasu.

  44327. I tried Japanese with 16 but I failed miserably, idk why maybe because of school and all this stuff. Now on learning korean and I finally can read it and the writing is getting better, but the grammatic is hell. Even the Koreans I write with say they don't know sometimes what's wrong or white lol

  44328. Oven? That stood out. Sounded exactly like we say it in Dutch. You are fearless Anming. I love this content.

  44329. Aloha! You're in my neck of the woods! You really should learn Thai and visit Thailand. Such a wonderful place with the most amazing food in the world! (I'm a little biased since my wife is Thai 😁). I hope your stay in the Aloha State was fantastic! Safe travels! I had a friend that was fluent in 7 languages and when I asked him if it confused him, he said it's like changing the channel on a TV for him. I understand that since I speak English and Thai, when I switch, my whole brain switches to the other language. What's funny is that my wife and I talk in "Thai-glish" Half of our sentences are Thai and half English. It confuses everyone that hears us speaking to each other but makes perfect sense to us.

  44340. Congratulations on your marriage! I just started watching your videos. I love to see how you have adapted to a new way of life. I want to visit China and Japan now! I lived in France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Argentina. I absolutely love learning about other cultures. 💗

  44341. Did you do something to your eyelashes? They look fabulous! Please share your secret lol
    1
  44342. So question about learning a language. When I have tried in the passed, in my mind you hear the work and in your mind it translates to English. At least for me which I think is what messes me up. When you learned a language, what is your mindset while you are talking? Are you translating it to English or do you just take words for what it is? (I hope this makes sense) Thank you for your videos! They are all awesome :)

  44360. how many bathrooms for 8 people, only 1 that is insane ?
    1
  44361. Agreed, but I think apps could be more useful if they would challenge you more and focus less on gamifying the experience. I think some apps like Duoling have more potential if you they had a mode where you could utilize only audio input for repsonses. Multiple choice answers and spelling I've always found very distracting. Discovering Pimsleur was a revelation. I think a good sign that you are actually learning a language is when you feel afterwards something similar to the runners high after a good physical workout, and most apps just don't accomplish that.

  44362. You must have the patience of a Saint. LOL

  44371. Love your videos, I am Chinese raised in the US. Learned some Japanese in college. When I studied abroad in Japan a long long time ago. A Japanese friend in a English language school in Japan studied english, but somehow he knows Chinese as well. And his Chinese was better than his English. I actually spoke to him mainly in Chinese when I was in Japan.

  44377. I gave a speech in Chinese about a year and a half ago. I had it all typed up, and then wrote it in pinyin. It took me 12 minutes reading the characters, reading the pinyin transcription I did reduced that to 8 min. The event organiser saw my notes and said "oh you can just give the speech in English," actually no, because I'd installed my Chinese brain and wouldn't be able to fully switch back even though English is my native language. She thought I couldn't understand what was written there. I worked in a school where the other teachers mostly couldn't speak English, that speech was about 1 year in. They were really relaxed and friendly. There's no way on earth I'd be able to give a speech if I'd continued teaching in a mostly English environment. My progress is much slower than yours, having only reached HSK 5 in 5 years but socialising with mainly Chinese people, and living in a super local area of Beijing really increased my confidence in speaking. I also read with more confidence. I wouldn't suggest totally avoiding the foreign community but have seen people who've lived in China for years and still can't communicate with locals, which is a shame as it's limiting. Now I'm stuck in England but hopefully should be back in China next month. I miss my friends and proper Chinese food, I had a fusion breakfast of 油条and porridge (oatmeal) this morning!

  44400. How did you get better at Japanese? I've plateaued. I can understand fairly well, it's going from english to japanese that I struggle with. I'm currently in a conversation group, but I think the only way I can improve is to use it more regularly. Any recommendations are appreciated :) also I just stumbled across your channel so I apologize if you've already done a video like that :)

  44407. Same as here, Indonesia SEA, very hard to enter state owned universities, and relatively easy to grad. Not every one can study at private univ., especially the best one, way expensive for the average people. If I have the opportunity to study abroad, I prefer Japan, the culture, the manners, the traditions, the rules, the historic sites, the food, cute and lovely ladies, the babymetal 😁

  44408. Hahahaha, this is so funny!

  44409. I went to Kyoto for a month long study abroad. It was so amazing, but felt way too short. I just graduated in the US and got a job, but I hate staring at a computer all day programming, even though it's good money. I'm thinking about studying abroad in Tokyo now, I appreciate your videos!

  44410. I love japanese. I studied it for three years. Unfortunately I don't practice it anymore.

Nicely done.

  44421. Anming, could you please make a video where you explore the Japanese obsession with all things cute. Whenever you walk around in Tokyo I see lots of advertisements, images, magazine covers, clothing and other stuff that all are super cute looking around you. There seem to be whole stores that only sell cute knick- knacks. And the small amount of Japanese pop culture I have come across also seem to follow along these lines. Can you please try and explain this cuteness phenomena so that a northern European can understand it?

  44433. Thank you for another great video Oriental Pearl❤ This series inevitably brings out those kinds of arrogant comments from people who don't want other people to feel at home in the country they were born and raised in. Why should she view herself as a foreigner in her home country? Hopefully it's a very very tiny percentage that feels that way.

  44445. I don't envy much, but I envy this girl speaking two Asian languages with such ease. I think learning them, particularly Chinese, would be extremely difficult. And they are so exotic to Romantic languages. Right, so that's what envy feels like. I'd forgotten.

  44459. I was walking with a friend down Lafayette St. in downtown Detroit one time when a group of Chinese students got out of a car. The driver came and asked me in labored English, "Sir, do you know if it's okay to park there?" I'm not proficient in Mandarin, but I'm a very good accent mimic, and I told him in Mandarin, "I don't know." All five students went motionless and stared at me for several seconds and time froze — this chubby white American walking along with an Iraqi women has just answered in accentless Mandarin. Then they all burst out laughing. One girl had to sit down on the sidewalk, she was laughing so hard, and she kept asking, "What else can you say?" These moments are such a riot that I wish I had video of them, but alas I don't.

  44464. Wow! I think some of them are a bit sensitive and over reacting

  44465. i've been studying japanese and chinese by myself for some years, not regularly, but my level is at most intermediate, and i have no practice in conversation. i studied a couple of other languages by myself as well, but i never practice with a native speaker. the only exception is english, which i learned in a private school since i was a child. just like you, i moved to asia by myself, in 2018. i'm living in the indian state of west bengal, so people speak bengali here. i was better at spoken bengali when i arrived, because i actually attempted to exchange conversations with locals. nowadays i only speak english because, if locals know that i understand bengali, they'll ask me very personal questions that i'm not willing to answer to a random stranger on the street. it gets quite frustrating. so while i understand when people are talking in bengali, i almost never answer questions in bengali, in order to avoid uncomfortable situations. somehow i got into a master's program, thanks to the help of a friend, and i want to keep going with a m.phil. but i don't want to be stuck in india for too long, because there are some cultural aspects that i simply can't adapt to, such as being lgbt+, and also i feel many people want to take advantage of me because i'm a foreigner. so, i was thinkig of moving to another asian country, and the highest candidate on my list is taiwan, because i think it seems very progressive and open to lgbt+ people. i really like japan, but i don't know if it's possible for me to stay there for too long, since i heard it's quite difficult for foreigners to stay there. i have to get a good level of chinese in order to enroll in a phd program in taiwan, i think the minimum requirement is hsk 5, but i'd probably need to be even better than that. i really want to continue with my academic career, but i also don't see how i can move to another asian country, since there are huge language barriers. to make things more complicated, i'm getting my masters in musicology, and it's very centeed around north indian music. so it'd be difficult to go through a phd program in another form of music in another country. i want to see a solution for this situation, other than being stuck in india for the next 6 years. i love many aspects of indian culture, but being unable to have romantic relationships in this country is a big drawback for me. it's fine to stay 2-3 years like this, but i can't spend the rest of my life being deprived of love, just because of my field of research.

  44468. Maybe you have heard this before. . When you are bilingual, you have significantly better cognitive skills, not only in language but in all areas of the functioning of the brains. Being trilingual contributes also, but less than being bilingual. . Maybe the following summary helps too. . When you are born, the brain cells have twice the number of connections than when you are an adult. . When you are young, you do not learn a language. You acquire it. And that happens effortlessly. This is because the acquisition happens for a large part through pruning. In essence, you are born with a rudimentary form of all languages. When you are exposed to a language, all innate languages except the one are eliminated, and the one is strengthened. . That is why you do not remember learning your first language. . This power to get skills through effortless acquisition exists only in the first 11 to 12 years of our lives. It is learning by pruning. . Around your 6th to 7th birthday a new kind of learning 'kicks in'. This is learning through effort. The mechanism through which it happens is quite fascinating, but it would take me too long to describe it here. Suffice to say, that it is a combination of automatic cell growth in the hippocampus, a part of the brains, and concentrated effort, which causes connections to form to these new brain cells and the ones already there. . The hippocampus makes new brain cells all the time. But normally, without learning through concentrated effort, that is, skill learning, the new brain cells disappear. But when they connect to other cells through concentrated effort, they remain in existence, resulting in a growth of the brain itself. The cortex becomes denser. Moreover, the ability to switch between different languages trains the power of concentration. . This growth of the brains through concentrated effort is the easiest between about 18 and 25 years. In that period there is a more intensified growth of brain cells. Learning higher cognitive tasks is, at that age, the easiest to learn. . Usually, when people are older than 25, they notice that learning through concentrated effort becomes much harder. They stop learning altogether, with the result that the brain as a whole does not receive exercise, and begins to decline. . If you are then 'lucky enough' to become 90, the deterioration of the brain has usually progressed so far, that you suffer from dementia. . But if you keep learning, despite the harder effort from 25, the brain keeps growing, so that your cognitive functions become better and better, at least in the area you are training yourself in. . Because you can only learn a language well if you also learn the culture, sharpening your skill in language is the only thing that develops the entire brain. . Learning to play an instrument is second best. Especially when it is a keyboard. . Therefore, Anming, do not underestimate the effect knowing how to speak three languages has on your mind. . That is what I wanted to tell you. . BTW. English is my second language. I am Dutch. I have learned English mainly by studying physics and mathematics, watching television, and just by writing in English. I also learned it by corresponding online with many people all over the world. Especially in two e-mail groups. One about J. Krishnamurti, and another around Objectivism of Ayn Rand. These people pointed out the many mistakes I made in English.

  44497. I’ve watched an Asian man Black female married couple with children on YouTube. They’ve lived in Korea for many years and go married there. But the natives still ask the Black woman how long she is in Korea, where is she from, etc. It will never stop As long as you, your friends, and some of the locals know you are a resident, that’s all that matters. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how homogeneous East Asia is, even though things are changing. And now with COVID, foreigners are traveling less. So there are fewer foreigners in East Asia.

  44525. There is a saying that if you like what you're doing, then you never work a day. It looks like you've found a good place where you work reasonable hours. Back in the 80's and 90's Iwould hear stories about "the hidden office," where an office worker would put in a day's work in the office, then continue to work from home. I got the impression the perception of a balanced work and home life was important, even though work overflowed into home time.

  44528. It will entirely depend on the attitude of the individual. I have seen cases where no matter how fluent the person is with the language, even with the "right" accent, the in-laws never truly accept the son or daughter-in-law due to skin color, ethnicity, or place of birth. Even if the person embraces the culture, cuisine, etc, the in-laws still disapprove deep down inside. My parents never really accepted my wife and only really warmed to her after she bore two grandsons. Your future in-laws appear to genuinely like you. Congratulations on your engagement and I wish you prosperity and good fortune in the years to come!

  44542. Hi, maybe this was answered in another video but do you want to return to the USA someday to live again? What are your thoughts on the work-life balance since there is a little bit more freedom when comparing Japan's work-life balance since 80s hours a week is normal while 60 hours is more of the norm here? I like Japan but the work-life balance is not much of an upgrade compared to USA. But public transport and tech is outstanding. I also hear that Japanese do not joke in conversation and are very contextual. How do you ask to open up more and actually obtain reciprocity?

  44586. First of all Anming. You managed to (very gently) twist my arm and I am now subscribed to your channel. Second, your Chinese is amazing. Sorry couldn't resist cause I know you don't like people making a big deal about your chinese. And finally, how was your xiaolongbao? Take it easy :-)

  44587. You taking the time to learn those languages is amazing and definitely worth a sub. Thank you. Watching you bring joy to these folks is wonderful. Keep bridging.

  44588. Don't drop in the trash Food that fell in the ground, use the 5 seconds rule.
    1
  44589. If you dropped your food into a pile of horse manure, would you still pick it up and eat it, though? Even if it's 5 seconds, you would still have horse manure all over it. And, by the same logic, even if you just drop food on a regular dry floor, you would still have a lot of germs on it. Just because you can't see the germs, that doesn't mean that they're not there.

  44593. Hi I saw one of your videos with jasmine, there you mentioned about English teaching jobs. You recommend that it is better to come as a tourist and apply for a teaching job My question is, if I have a TEFL online 120 hours course certificate and by the way I got a masters as well, will it work out for me. Hoping for a reply ✌️

  44604. Not gunna lie. Pretty jealous you seem fluent in Japanese as well as Chinese. I know some Japanese. Prob should know a lot more but forgotten.. Guess if you know kanji it helps both Japanese n chinese. Sugoi.

  44605. Do you reckon people would get the sense of humour in the US when they try to complement a foreigner’s English and get complemented for their own native language?

  44606. commenting to help. I will never forget that in my japanese major one of the teachers played a video that showed that one city that had higher poverty rates was literally DELETED from japan's map.
    1
  44607. As a naturalized Asian-American guy from a developing East Asian nation, this video piqued my interest. I've always wanted to see the poor areas in Japan. The more people glamorize a nation, the more I want to see the bad/poor areas of it. Now, I'm just waiting to see the poor areas of South Korea...

  44614. Viewing your video is entertaining to me as you are very cheerful even in the midst of shutdown. Thank you. Both your Mandarin and Japanese are good and you could understand both of their culture well. Being a Hong Kong Chinese, I must admit my Mandarin is not as good as you are. On the other hand, I see that you do not live in Southern part of China and Hong Kong before, you are welcome to come here to have first hand experience of our culture which I should say a bit different from the Northern China especially for Hong Kong having very different history and living from the rest of Mainland China.

  44615. This is a very important matter, most people in the west view Japan as a highly successful industrial nation with very few social issues, however, it is sad to see anyone living on the streets wherever they may be. Heartbreaking.

  44625. Lol. There’s a scene in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David has serious difficulty opening a gift that’s protected by plastic packaging 😂. It’s hilarious. The sweet potato tarts box reminded me of that 🤣🤣🤣.

  44639. Glad I found your channel. I lived in JP for two years in the 90s and was conversational then. I will never forget the look on the locals faces when I started conversations in Japanese. They always told me to repeat what I said because they expected me to speak English and weren't listening. Wonderful cultural exchange....arigato!

  44643. Well done, I really like your edit job, very entertaining. I was wondering if you could tell us why you chose to specialize in the Chinese and Japanese languages, what was your inspiration ? If I was younger I would also move to China for a few years, but, my inspiration would be Chinese Martial Arts.

  44652. Damn, people are stupid. What exactly do you do to warrant hate? Hard eye rolls whenever you cut in those clips. Love your videos, glad you’re able to look at this with a sense of humor and talk about it confidently. You definitely inspire me to continue studying different languages. Also your videos are just fun to watch! This video included despite the unwarranted hate. Can’t wait for the next one :-)
    1
  44653. I've been so excited to see this video! It came out during a busy time for me, so I'm glad I finally got time to watch it. Thank you, this is really interesting, and it's nice to see that someone doesn't have to stick with a teaching job to live somewhere new (I was honestly a little worried about that) :)

  44654. This was actually a touching video, stay happy guys . 🙏

  44658. For anyone who paused the video trying to say soap salesman a trick to be able to say the word is to start at the end and then work your way back to the beginning. First say pias, then kauppias, then kivikauppias, etc. Understanding the ending will help prevent you from getting lost along the way when saying these long words. Hope this helps
    1
  44659. Super nice video! You seem such a cute couple but, is he the same guy who was waiting for you in China? Or new life for friend Anming? Just curious, no judgement! I really enjoy your videos and I think a lot of us keep motivated to learn languages because of you! So have a really nice nice week! Hugs from Spain ^^

More of Japanese culture plz, like their obsession with Pachinko(lil silver balls), Flip the table arcade game, plethora of cool vending machines, store doors with no handles(push button like on cruise ships), honesty of the country(no need to count your change), cleanliness of the entire country, manga & anime & cool toy shops.

  44671. I just recently noticed these "person X speaks language Y surprisingly well to native speakers" videos and I never had the reaction that is being discussed here. I am always watching the native speaker and not the person one would not be expected to speak it. If anything, I feel it shows the bias and stereotypes that the native speaker holds. If anything, I find it interesting that many Mandarin speakers say that the one who learned it as an adult actually speaks it better. It is as if someone with a university education in English walked into Dogpatch and started speaking to a bunch of dunderheads. That speaks volumes to the difficulty of Mandarin.

  44673. Well, I’m 60 yrs old. I think you’re a very attractive looking young lady. Your videos are interesting. I discovered them when trying to learn a little bit more about Japan for work. Congrats on the marriage :) The world can be cruel. Best thing is to ignore the rude comments. None of them would say it to your face anyway. The internet does that.

  44680. This was really helpful, I am trying to learn Korean not Chinese. I would always get discouraged when learning and I haven't been able to get very far I learn for a bit then I would stop then start again. I always come back to it because I know that it's something I want to know but it's the learning part that's hard. Plus this is my first language that I'm learning so I am confused about what the best resources are for myself. So I end up learning all over the place. I am gonna try it again, thank you.

    1
  44688. Why not try a different approach? Instead of said saying it’s okay when they’re surprised say I’m fluent see how they react? Maybe their reaction will change?

  44689. Being from a western culture, I’m glad I watched the video where you explain why you take the compliments the way you do, or I’d be really puzzled. I don’t know one word outside English but I really enjoy your videos.

  44694. Motivation is key. If you have motivation, nothing is hard. For me it's just a pain to grab that novel or manga on my desk and struggle with it. Takes too long, but every page, every chapter - they add tons of new words to the pool. I'm pretty sure with enough motivation (as in, read as if your survival depended on it), it wouldn't even take too much time. I pretty much got my fluency in 3 European languages simply by reading, but reading Japanese texts is one heck of a beast. Great advice! Since motivation is key, I think your #13 might be the best motivator :D

  44714. Japanese is one of the hardest languages for westerners? Hmm... Structurally, I'm going to have to say Mandarin Chinese is the hardest. And pronunciation-wise, I'm going to have to go with Thai on this one.

  44720. I love these videos! Thank you so much!❤ On my travels to my local City today! I heard some people in front of me speaking Spanish but as I was walking behind, I thought if I started trying to speak some Spanish, for example, Hello! I would spook them, then they were lost in the crowd! I love hearing people speaking all languages! Especially, when I visit the City! I can pick up different languages such as Korean, Japanese and when I hear people speak Spanish! I smile! As, I understand some Spanish already! I would love to improve! I understand a lot of spoken Spanish but not got the communication part! Lol XD! I should be fluent! I am half Spanish! Shaking my head!🫨😂❤ Have a good day, week and weekend!

  44721. That first girl sure was saying thank you a lot

  44722. I think there is probably some background missing with the first two girls. Yes, Japanese are humble and frequently downplay their ability. Without background I think you give the impression that generally downplay their ability at what would be a non-unique skill. It would not be normal for a Japanese person to downplay their ability to speak their mother tongue, or walk, or use chopsticks. The background for these two girls may be that they didn't go to Japanese public or private schools growing up. They may have grown up going to English-based schools, such as an international school or a military base school. So their perspective may be that their Japanese isn't as good as the common Japanese person who grew up in the Japanese educational system. You can also see the Japanese mindset where the girl on the left says that the girl on the right's Japanese is better than her's even though she is half. They both have grown up in the country, but there is the thought that bloodline should play a role in Japaneseness which language is a part of.

  44731. Yea, my parents could not make the trip to Japan either when I got married in Japan. This was more than 40years ago and long distance travel was not easy and very expensive. They still have not been to Japan, and now is too late (they are in their mid 80's now). So glad your parents could make the trip. I'm sure it will be a trip they will enjoy immensely and remember for a life time.

  44740. Anming, I have a video idea for you. Go to a Zen temple and just try to make friends with one of the monks. Ask him if many Westerners come (they tend to.) Ask him what he thinks about Westerners trying to study Zen. I can send you a list of questions if you want. After you have made friends with him with your usual charm, you can tell him. I've always wanted to know, what is the sound of one hand clapping? If you can't make him smile, no one can. Actually, I would learn Japanese to learn from real Japanese Zen masters. I think Western Zen is too materialistic.

  44748. Hi Anming, how do you go about finding a reputable study-abroad program to learn a foreign language? I'm interested in going to Mexico to learn Spanish.
    1
  44749. Its absolutely and obviously natural for people who are not in their own country to speak the language of the one they are staying.I never for once found it odd . Hey I have seen and talked to some people who were not from my country who try to speak Sinhalese irrespective of Whether they are good or bad.Actually I liked it very much.That shows to a certain extent inter alia that they do recognize the need to speak my language and also that they respect the country where its spoken.Isnt it kind of "in Rome do as the Romans do" thing.Just ma frank opinion.

  44750. I enjoyed this video big time. Top 10 most enjoyable video ever watched for me on YouTube.

  44751. It's a great video. I like watching videos of real interactions that go beyond the superficial short conversations. I put the phone down though so I can listen to it without the subtitles.

  44754. I could feel his excitement getting to experience everything! 💖 I started thinking how I hope I get to feel that excited about everything when I visit Japan someday, and I got all emotional lol. Thank you for sharing more of your adventures! Always love to see you guys.

  44757. I learned 無料 thanks to this video! Much I didn't understand, but I tend to grab a few new words that don't sound very hard and add them to my study deck.
    1
  44758. Now I know why I felt something wrong when I complemented a Japanese university student English is good. 😂 Personally, I would just not say anything if the person doesn't speak the local language well.

  44764. Hey Anming, nice to see you post again! 🥰 Loved the edit, the barrating parts, the food reviewing, "kanji quiz" basically the whole video was bomb! But well, I always like your vids! Nice kimono too! You go Anming! ✌🏼🤩

  44765. I use HelloTalk on and off, but unfortunately the time difference can be a bit of a hassle. I've met a few mandarin speakers in the US on there though so that helps too.

  44768. Dale Carnegie says it best: "be lavish in your praise." I live by that because it is foolish to flatter. It's manipulative. Btw will you ever do a USA related video about what you miss or if you miss it all? I never trusted "you're Japanese is so good." Cuz it is fake. I know a Japanese immigrant and she's blunt. It's really cool. Imagine that? I also compliment English abilities if I see it, but I won't always correct your grammar unless I am teaching it or don't understand it. Maybe you have been gone awhile so you don't know as much?

  44769. This video is such a gem.

  44770. Very well how you prepared your mother for meeting your in-laws. Glad everything went well. Awesome that you were able to meet up a couple of times. Very excited already to watch your USA adventures.

  44775. If we all spoke the same Language, it would make making friends so much easier... Communication would break down so many barriers....... BUT we would lose So much Culture, Diversity and History........ And we wouldn`t have wonderful videos like this... :-))) xx

  44776. congratulations on being together awesome video I cant wait to see more you guys are so cute.

  44777. you are so cool!!! i want to learn at least japanese decently well so when i do eventually travel there, i can speak with them and do daily stuff easier :)

  44778. She is not wrong but you have to understand success bias (or survivorship bias). There's plenty of people who didn't achieve their goals and you don't hear about them. But the few who did, you can see them. You should at least try because if you don't you have 100% for failure. Maybe you'll be lucky. ofc I mean not just ordering food. That's basic skill. I mean running successful channel.

  44779. I just found you, and I love your filming style! So beautiful and clean! Thank you!

  44783. It was nice to see people's reactions. Also crazy to think, No one tried to stop him. From using that in public. Imagine America I feel like would of been asking you to leave. Nevertheless enjoyed the video as always 😁
    1
  44784. If you go to foreign land you should do your best to speak their language when in their area. I had Dutch neighbors and I could hear them speaking Dutch but when I went outside they would switch to English. I loved and respected them, they were great people.

  44793. This girl is slowly but surely becoming one of my fav YouTubers. So down to earth with a great personality and beautiful too. I only have English in my vocabulary but I love watching her interact with people and how fluently she switches between languages. I do subscribe to laoshus channel as well but I agree he doesn’t need to be learning so many diff languages. Def quality over quantity for me. Love you anming. Stay safe over there and keep bringing us these great vids ❤️

  44794. Saludos señorita, pues me hizo reír al final del video, en verdad, solo le hace falta aprender a hablar en español (latino) y tendría los 3 idiomas más hablados, chino, español (latino), e ingles, en ese orden. Gracias por compartir estos videos.

  44801. Your motivation will help you a lot to achieve your goal. In my personal experience I started learning german at first when I was at the university but finally quit cause I didn't have any motivation to carry on. But some months ago started learning japanese with an academy, I had been wishing to learn this one since I was a child and my motivation increases everyday, even I study by myself when I am not on the job.It's supposed Japanese is harder but my love for the language and the culture is what keeps me going. Also looking forward to improve even more my english skills.
    1
  44802. I am absolutely enjoying your channel. I was always interested in learning Japanese, and this is certainly a fun approach to it. Cheers from Philly!

  44805. Questions : have you met a lot of other half and half people in japan . When I went I started noticing that there are a lot of half and half people there . How old are you , are there a lot of people interested in American dancing , Along with this you mentioned that japan is expensive how much does it typically cost to rent a apartment there thanks !

  44809. Damn!!! How you stwich between Chinese Japanese and English is like something you do naturally.. like you are native in all these...
    1
  44810. I only speak English German mandarin hokkien Cantonese and abit of Malay and Thai . I know alot of words in other languages that doesn't mean I can speak them just by knowing a couple of words and a few sentences. So when people ask me how many language I speak I just say 3 . How I wish to learn Norwegian and Tibetan too just don't have the time.
    1
  44811. A problem for me is that for the first tip. My favorite music is in Korean but I’m learning Japanese.😅
    1
  44812. I forgot who it was but a female self-identified polyglot, I think she was Asian, also shared her language certifications. I respected how she provided receipts! How do you feel about the language exams / certifications as additional proof?

  44814. :) Nice job. You sum up the 'why' on doing the day in and day out type videos from around 1:50 - 2:02....because that's why. BTW - I think BDSM pig guy is a friend of TkyoSam ;)

  44816. Ahhhh a fellow Detroiter, love to see it ❤
    1
  44817. You see? The Japanese are smart and easy going. They're all wearing masks 2 just for protection and safety. So then, why aren't we doing the same thing?
    1
  44818. Im a very picky eater, I would probably starve to death in China haha.

  44819. She is really pretty

  44820. probably lots of cargo planes, maybe you just have high metabolism and need energy from the sweets, that would be my excuse.
    1
  44821. You guys are adorable!
    1
  44822. I don't think it was unusual for people to compliment you in that way, it's quite a natural reaction. After all, you are American speaking Chinese in Japan.
    1
  44823. To be honest,I dream of being a polyglot. There are several languages I really love to learn like Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Swedish, Hawaiian and maybe Korean but I'm not sure. I learned English, Spanish and French in school and Dutch and Swedish in university. I almost forgot everything of my Spanish knowledge, can't communicate in French and I can read Dutch textes but have trouble to speak it and I'm learning Swedish anew. I really don't understand how someone can learn "how to get to a mothertongue like level within 60 days" I love learning but it's hard to memorize words and how to write them. And when it comes to grammar my brain just freezes. It's hard for me to learn languages but I love it. So I try. But someday I start learning Japanese with all kanji, Katakana and Hiragana and maybe Chinese. I want to do it since 18 years but I always was misencouraged to do it because it was always this " uuuh it's too hard for you, eeeeh you're too stupid fir this" Longtime I believed this myself. But I'm not stupid and if I really want to learn those languages. Just for myself not to be the one to be wow-ed at.

    1
  44835. Majority of the comments are around the polyglot community but I actually wanted to raise the other subject of not posting normal conversation videos and looking always for reaction. As a language learner I would love to see normal conversation examples, there is just so little out there. If you don't leave in the TL country you really have to struggle to get the listening skill and learn via TV. Or the reaction videos which all look exactly the same if you have seen a few (same vocab and sentences). Especially those where a person can speak few prepared sentences and shows off how amazed natives are about this.

  44836. Old lady is probably checking who you are in contact with. Probably Chinese pie. Until they realize you are just a youtuber :p But yeah, probably just a curious old lady!

  44844. How long have you been speaking Japanese? I've been grinding away for about two years and I think I'm somewhere between a JLPT5 and 4 level it seems. I've heard JLPT3 level is where you can get really conversational really quick. every time I feel like I know a lot I have a conversation with the Japanese person and running to a lot that I don't understand. I'm trying to cross this barrier as soon as possible

  44863. omg, it has been so long since I heard people speaking a foreign language I actually have a halfway decent grasp of, this was a calming experience lmao - though I think at this point my bad Japanese has improved enough and my okay Chinese has deteriorated enough that they're almost on the same level now XD
    1
  44864. I can't believe I missed this video,.

  44865. Not sure how old you are (you seem young...no need to tell), but good for you getting out there and experiencing other countries, learning other languages and customs. I wish I had started much younger traveling around and experiencing different places.
    1
  44866. Living in an english speaking country where theres so many people from different countries and backgrounds its so funny how numb we are to people who speak the same language or arent from our country. At least for me, though I work with primarily latinos and while my spanish isnt perfect yet, they think its so cool that I know more than the normal white person lmfao
    1
  44867. It's really interesting to hear your (American) English after doing so much context switching. You're very talented and this is indicative of becoming fluent requires living somewhere you're dependent on speaking the local language so you can practice it regularly.

  44874. Yesterday, I was just talking to my husband about your channel and was wondering if there was a new video. I'm glad that you made this one. Through your videos, we see the good and bad = reality.
    1
  44875. Oriental Pearl I can see a double act dancing troup with you two happening, come on I am sure you can dab and shake ya tail feather, that is one skill you have not yet shown us. That was a lovely interview from you,. Katie has a lovely warm character, but one thing I would have loved to see is her interact a bit more with Japanese people she obviously did not want to converse much in Japanese and show us their reaction, although she is probably quite well known but she said herself she allows them if they converse in English to exhaust their ability and so probably stays in American mode. Loved the Japanese girls dance at the beginning it was awesome Katie is very talented did she choreograph that dance because the way she dances it looked like her style?.

  44881. Native Chinese and English speaker here. Been learning and speaking Japanese formally and informally for quite a while. I would say that it's far easier for the native Chinese speaker to learn Japanese. Tones in the Chinese language is fundamental so it's quite easy to pronounce Japanese correctly as they usually are spoken either in a single tone, low to high or high to low. Secondly, we don't to worry about learning Kanji.

  44890. I like this video, it seems much more informative compared to the rest! I'm actually planning on double majoring in nursing and Japanese and fall back onto teaching English in Japan as a backup. I'm leaning towards teaching though. I want to travel, see new things, and learn about the culture. What are your thoughts on my plan? I hope it's possible for me to do.

  44900. I am amazed by anyone not Chinese able to speak any of their languages. The words are so "fragile".. so many changes in tones make the same "sound" give a different word. But maybe English is like that a but too I just don't notice 😂

  44909. Can you do a small review of Pimsleur. I have the audio books and worksheets from Audible for a couple of languages, is their monthly course as an app? How is it different, if at all from audiobooks and study sheets, apart from having access to all the languages they offer.
    1
  44910. It’s as if yo-yo, shuffle-board & plate spinning all had a kid!

  44911. I think from my own perspective people who say your Japanese is good enjoy talking to you because we don’t really have that much chance to talk to foreigners.

  44920. Everyone has prejudice’s. I was an airline pilot and spent a good deal of time in Japan. I had a Japanese manager riding in the cockpit on a flight from Anchorage to Narita. I mentioned that another pilot had been mugged walking from Narita town to our airport area hotel. He immediately told me that the mugger were not Japanese, they were Korean or Filipino. That may have been a fact because another pilot I flew with said his sister lived in Tokyo with his wife and children. He had taken his children to his office and then a park. When he and the children were playing in the park he realized they had to get the train and rushed off. On the train he realized he had left his expensive camera on the park bench. After he arrived home he talked to his secretary and mentioned his camera. She sad she would pass by the park on the way to work in the morning and she would check the bench. He thought there was no way it would still be there. It was sitting at the same place he left it the following morning. If it’s not their property Japanese will not touch it.

  44926. I follow Wouter's channel, and while I was critical at first, I came to realize he had very different language goals than myself and became okay with it. I do think he needs some newer and better framing for his videos though. I was surprised to learn he works as a caricaturist and yet he's never worked that into his videos or mentioned it until recently, but I digress. I guess I think much of my problem with polyglot youtube comes from the youtube end of things, in that content that is consumed in a single serving and then forgotten is what is rewarded by the algorithm and clicks, and stuff that is multi-part and in-depth languishes. For example I've thought of documenting my desire to learn French from my current level of nothing to whatever I can get to over a three year period... and I've realized I cannot think of anyone in any of the branches of language youtube doing such a long-term project. I'm sure if I googled it, I could find folks on youtube who have, but it doesn't seem like something that could build an audience... and if no one is watching... then why film it?

You do however speak and write excellent in foreign languages. I was most impressed with switching from Chinese to Japanese so quickly. Then I knew. Cia linguist training is like that. Different languages weaved in a conversation to try and stump you. Great video.

  44937. I'm asian and language learning websites charge in dollars. I would like to invest in my language skills and learning opportunities of course but not at the cost of a leg or a limb. And because I can't even get a job where I live (not to mention that I am a student), earning something to invest in learning opportunities is even more impossible.
    1
  44938. I have conflicting feelings about the subject of this video. On one hand, I completely understand and agree with OP and Matt. There are any number of Youtubers who are inflating their abilities. That said, I really think some of them - especially a very popular one frequently mentioned in the comments already - is doing it in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way, and performing fun experiments with his own language learning. If you haven’t watched any of his other videos, that subtext could be lost on some viewers. The other thing that strikes me is that a single, chance encounter completely changed the course of my life with respect to language learning. Actually, this happened on two occasions, about a decade apart. In each case, that initial spark caused me to investigate whether learning these two languages might be interesting. Then, once I had a taste of them, there was no turning back. I LOVE everything about the process and the people. (OK, mostly everything.) But, if I think back, had I not been exposures to the language and seen the joy that others draw from using it and interacting with the target cultures, I’m not sure I would have ever started either of those journeys. I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So, I guess I’m saying that these false polyglots may not have as much to teach as they claim, but they do have an important message to share nonetheless.

  44966. Excellent video!!

  44967. I think they pick obscure languages on purpose. I was impressed until I heard a few try doing videos in Korean and I was disappointed. They said they learned for three weeks... and uh... I'd say they power-learned for maybe two months but it sounded exactly like anybody else would have sounded if they had learned for two months. They are very confident, but they would not be considered fluent at all. Bad pronunciation, horrific intonation. I had to mostly use context and key words to tell what they were talking about, despite being a native speaker. For most videos you see, the big telltale moment you can see is that the person they speak to compliments them in English and respond a lot in English; the native speakers acknowledge that the person isn't really understanding the language but don't want to discourage too much. Also that they're eating like 2~3 meals in the space of speaking to three people? So how much footage did they throw away when someone even conversationally fluent could whack out a 20~30 minute video in a single morning?

  44968. Hmm? That's my biggest concern traveling abroad. I'm pretty picky.

Actually I think that sharp narrow eyes are quite strong facial feature!

  44985. I'm Brazilian and I'm studying English for 4 years, but I'm still on the way through fluency. I also wanna learn French, Spanish, German and probably Chinese and Arabic. I don't have any ideia of how much time I'll spend on this, but I want to do that because I like feel myself challenged. Now, I think the biggest problem of fake "polyglots" on Youtube is the desire of showing off constantly. You can perfectly be fluent in 3 or 4 languages and have basic or pre-intermediary notions in another 5, 10, 15 languages and that's okay. Unfortunately, many of them want to pose like they are able to speak fluently 20 languages. C'mon!!!! That's impossible a individual with 30, 40 or even 50 years old could be able to speak FLUENTLY 20 languages, unless this person spent all the time of his/her life studying languages. Even if someone is able to speak more than 4 languages fluenty, there always will be some of them who will speak better than others and that's totally normal.

  44996. I genuinely enjoy watching the polyglot videos. It inspires me to study more and learn new languages. I'm into learning languages so these videos are fun to watch. I guess the people who don't have any ambition to learn or judge others 24/7 are the people triggered by them. Which is stupid, if they don't like the videos then just don't watch them. Please keep making these types of videos because I love them and spreading awareness to normalize language learning is awesome!

  45011. Tommy is so handsome. I'm so jealous lol. I'm also jealous of Tokyo rent prices. I'm renting a crappy 50 year old apartment in Texas for $1400/month. The same apartment in NYC would easily be $4k/month. Plus if you live on the outskirts of Tokyo it gets cheaper and cheaper. The opposite is true in the US. I see tons of people in Tokyo studios for like $600/month. Those simply don't exist in US cities anymore. You guys are living in a luxury 2 bedroom apartment in the capital city of a developed country for only $2300. Try doing that in NYC/Seattle/LA.

  45018. What do you think is a good method for when you can barely speak sentences and you try to do a language exchange? The last person I tried to do a language exchange with just kept speaking English... every time I struggled to make a Japanese sentence because I have never talked to anyone in Japanese, she would get impatient and she would finish my sentences without letting me try. So she got to practice but I didn't. How do you suggest I ask the Japanese person to help me? Should we hold up objects and describe them? or... what I'm getting at is--what kind of STRUCTURE should I try to use during language exchange since I can't yet make everyday conversation beyond my name, age, hobby, where I live. I run out of things to say. Just practice saying vocabulary words? I passed the N5 but I have zero speaking experience and I'm frustrated and don't know how to structure my language exchanges to make it productive for my very low level. HELP!

  45080. One more time, I have listened to your voice without videos and I realized that in Chinese your voice became very soft ,"mild" , "plastic" ,very gentle and it flows like a beautiful ,spring river ,it is a real voice transformation.... !!!! 👍👍🤔

  45091. It is true that the term Yankee was popularized during the CW, but it was mainly for derogatory purposes as Southeners used it to refer to Westeners. Also, the term is believed to be used by the English colonists referring to the Dutch ones, again, in a derogatory way. So, it's use have more negative connotations than positive ones, I guess :)) Great content, keep it up and say hallo to Papa Tkyo (dad?)!

    1
  45099. Did the Xiao long bao live up to the hype? Glad you are taking a healthier view to the reactions you are getting from the locals when you speak Chinese or Japanese. They react that way because it is rare sight to behold for them but it doesn't mean they do not accept you as a local or that they think you don't belong. In the end everyone meant well and most of them just want to encourage you to keep learning the language. Get used to asking people to like and sub ya up and coming pewdie pie!

  45108. I would like to become fluent in Japanese and im only like 16 years old, I should be going there soon for like 2-3 years or maybe longer, since im still a bit young could i become like fluent/perfect if i really put alot of time/hard spent hours into learning the languange and the culture and everything that comes with Japan?

  45110. I love your video It is great 😄😄😄😄 This Is the second time
    1
  45111. Two situations the natives try to compliment you: 1. They've found that you're trying hard to speak the language and available to communicate. 2. You've reached the top level and mastered the language like a pro. Fairly speaking, you're at the stage1.
    1
  45112. Inspired and motivated I feel. Thank You for the positive vibe!! You are awesome : )

  45125. I subscribed yesterday and I LOVE LOVE your channel. I’ve only lived in the US and I’m in the Midwest in a small town so we aren’t very diverse here and just seeing Japan/China through your videos is great. Also the more I watch Chinese videos the more I want to learn it but I’m kinda scared cause I have no idea about the language and the tones and etc. but just want to say that I love watching your content and keep doing it ☺️

  45140. Hi. Pardon me for asking - but since you are intelligent, funny, and geeky, you wouldn’t happen to have Polish ancestors? Yes, I am Polish and a geeky Engineer. But I do recognize your level of intellectual humor. Thanks again for the smiles during this time.

  45159. I had a Chinese friend who could speak Japanese but not English. We had to communicate in Japanese. It was kinda bizarre.
    1
  45160. My goal is to learn both Korean and Japanese. I have studied Korean for 2 years now, but I still want to study a bit more so I can speak fluently before I start studying Japanese 😊 But still thanks for your videos, I appreciate it 🤗 💛 I will take it with me when I start studying Japanese! 😁
    1
  45161. I find this video through youtube recommendation, your Japanese is excellent 👍. I live in Japan, but not that fluent of Japanese yet 😄
    1
  45162. This was fun! I always like these videos where you get to surprise, shock and amaze others with your skills. Hey, congratulations on being able to travel not only to Hawaii, but also to the Lower 48! It's awesome that you finally got to visit your family again! How long has it been for you since you last saw your family while in the U.S.? I know that must be difficult. Good luck with all of the Korean learning. You really are very gifted and I am really jealous. Well, envious. My brain just does not do what it used to do in my teens. I was an information sponge and I picked up German in High School (Except for the Math part of my brain, everthing else seemed to work decently). Other CRAP happened that made me miss out on German classes so I did not get to complete all four years, so I did not get to go to Germany with the others. And then, go figure, I had nobody to speak in German to or with after I was done with school. I got rusty, them basically it corroded so bad that it is just gone. I barely remember how to count to ten and my memory fails worse by the day. Anyway, I am very happy for you, Anming! :)

  45163. 6:27 I would love to see a history video of the Halloween tradition becoming popular in Asia! Or am I ignorant, and maybe it started there and we just didn’t know it over here in the US??? Please send me info, this looks so fun!!!

  45164. I don't like going to shops, but binge watching you do it is completely different

  45167. I enjoyed it but would have been cool if this had been a livestream..
    1
  45168. timing = 13:36. The guitar sound of ending would make me feel somewhat nostalgic. I would like to hear this nostalgic guitar sound more longer from the timing of 11:22. Then, I would feel like having come back native town where I have never been/seen.
    1
  45169. What did that girl meant with “fluent in only one language”, you’re fluent in Japanese, Chinese and English!! Also those guys who criticized your looks are so immature and unprofessional.
    1
  45170. I'm amazed! Great job!!

  45173. I’m going to be transparent, even though I was born and raised here in Osaka Japan. Prep until Grade 3, most of my co-workers and japanese teachers told me that my nihonggo is ペラペラ, but I told them “漢字を呼ぶのは忘れたんです“ but they told me it doesnt matter as long as I can answer their questions and their statements. I was like “🥺 aww”
    1
  45174. Wow that's really nice!! Congrats on the move to both of you!!

  45175. Thank you for your videos! It's so much fun. I almost watched them all. Please keep posting! :)

  45181. 豆腐脑 is more common in Beijing and other parts of northern China, while in southern China it's called 豆花, and there are many different flavours of it. So maybe it could also be translated as 'flowered tofu'? I don't know.

  45182. half my family is from japan so naturallly im half japanese.

  45183. You have the advantage of being an attractive woman, but even as a not so attractive male, I find if you learn some of their language, and are polite, then people are generally nice, wherever you are in the world.
    1
  45184. It’s similar in other countries too. China: rural vs city, France: Paris vs Rhone valley. Ppl are less stuck up outside of the major metropolitan.

  45189. I love your channel. My mother tongue is spanish (grew up in Peru) but I am also fluent in English as I have been living in America for more than a decade :) I’m currently self studying Korean. It is my goal to become fluent in it and then go to Korea and talk to natives there! It’s going to feel so good when I’m able to say: I am fluent in 3 languages Lol Edit: I’ve changed my mind! After binge watching your videos and others and after researching about the pros/cons between Japanese and Korean, I have decided to dedicate full time to Japanese instead! I read manga and watch anime so this was a big motivation for the change Lol. I can’t wait to immerse myself in the Japanese culture.

  45190. Please get a 360° camera :) Loved your videos.

  45195. Just watched the video and saw Karaweik Palace and I was like “Isn’t it in Yangon? “ Only after then I realised you’re pranking Chinese tourists in Yangon 😂. Please do more prank videos in Yangon when you visit again. Cheers!

  45196. Congratulation.... I'm so happy for you, do you know safe apps? cause everytime I try some apps they just want my number or face or instagram and I'm just wanna practice ..... -.-
    1
  45197. I love your videos and the tours that you take us around town, I feel like I'm walking around with you. The streets are so clean, is there a big fine if people litter?
    1
  45198. I really appreciate this video. He says straight up that a lot of his languages are basic. I also get sick of "dumb so and so speaks fluent ..." especially when they only spend a week on it. You always provide a real look at the effort needed to learn a language. Thank you!
    1
  45199. The pantry scene was so funny 😂. All junk food ahaha
    1
  45200. I liked the first video with the Japanese women in kimonos hip hop dancing. Not something you see very often. Your new friend seems super nice. I would be fun to watch her freak out some people by her pretending not to know Japanese and suddenly start speaking like the native she is. Also the rickshaw driver was a really nice guy.

  45201. 中文好棒！ 加油😊

  45202. I am jealous of your Japanese! I know this is a video about speaking Chinese but I am currently learning Japanese in school and it's been tough especially now that I am in Intermediate. Your Japanese is soooo good!

  45203. Wow 😯 I feel like other countries celebrate 🎉 Halloween much better way then America 🇺🇸

  45206. Just leaving a random comment to appreciate the fact that it's the second video by you that I'm watching and you're once again going for the Pastéis de Nata which I, as a brazilian living in Portugal right across the street from a bakery, can totally relate to. Best. Tarts. Ever.

  45207. Dig the music. And love you on the bike!!

  45208. I dunno why but it feels good seeing to have decent convos with strangers, I sometimes have too and it does feel great, but just seldom cause u know. Nice to see too Japanese really do talk back if u know how to speak in their language, I see that they’re nice.
    1
  45209. So it's like Chinese person showing surprize like "Boaahaahwoah wtf" and Japanese person showing surprise more like "......"

  45213. HiHi Jets ran around Tokyo using payphones for a youtube vid last year-ish... .. i think they mentioned then (they laughed about no need seeing as everyone has cellphones) that payphones remain as in times of emergencies cells may be down... but otherwise, yes lol. i watched a kid dancing with a robot at the front of a store that sold brand new fax machines back in february of this yr. that, i think, summarized it quite well lol

  45214. Hey, Just a fun video about cultural differences. Enjoyed the grin this left on my face.

  45215. Many polyglots that told they can speak languages and when it comes to my language that is Bahasa or Malay, I barely understand what are they saying mostly lol.

  45226. @OP Don't worry, Sheldon tells Amy that all the time about her neurology skills too. Kappa. Also, you should look at streaming on Twitch, or at least getting a donation link, that way people can support a starving college student giving us content like you do!

  45230. Hi Red bull girl, I admire your passion to live and learn the Chinese/Japanese language. Be able to be independent and venture out to the unknown to explore. Though I see other YouTuber that can speak multiple languages... but something you that inspires me..... ok, enough of that LOL! Back to my stay at home shelter Covid-19 here in Calif.

  45231. You are so authentic and sweet do you do paid tutor?

  45234. darn it .. watching your videos makes me want to walk along with you guys and enjoy everything you are doing

  45235. My wife and I traveled through China for 3 weeks and even though we spoke no Chinese everyone wanted to take pictures of us and with us. Even trying to be sneaky doing it.

    1
  45243. This was a great video. I learned a lot just from listening.You're 100 % right that if I hadn't seen who was speaking, I would have said he was a Japanese native speaker. He gave me a new goal, to have native Japanese just accept you as a person, and not a foreigner speaking Japanese, who should be congratulated on their efforts. It was interesting to observe the the waitress, and the couple in subway station take notice of two obviously non Japanese persons speaking fluent Japanese to each other, instead of another language. I'm so glad I discovered your channel a few months ago. Your approach to learning a second language is inspiring and challenging, as well as being down right entertaining.
    1
  45244. I would love to be bilingual, if I could speak 2 or more languages I would pick a language to speak in based on my mood

  45245. Everyone has an accent but it's not apparent until you meet people with different accents.

  45247. You can have all the China and Chinese culture you want if you come back to the US

  45248. So close to 100k views now, does youtube send you money ? If they do how much are the checks ? Also, hopefully you do go into politics that would be a good career with your language skill set.

  45261.  @OrientalPearl  my mistake 😣
    1
  45262. You know, learning the basics of the local language you're visiting isn't too much to ask. You don't need to be fluent or anything. Just the bare essentials. And if you have to fallback to English, at least ask the person 英語が話せますか beforehand - so they can prepare to get out of their comfort zone.
    1

  45264. Beautiful video on how you studied Anming! I’ve been studying on my free time for about a year using paid and free apps and some books as well. As a musician I would like to study abroad and also learn about the music industry there and break the language barrier. Learning this fascinating language will help! I like YouTube a lot and educate myself on seeing videos how foreigners & foreigners who are people of color live there as a woman of color myself.

  45279. I think it's a human trait. When people from Asia come to the States they tend to hang out with each other as well. Humans tend to gravitate to others with similar culture.To really enjoy the benefits of another culture and to get more proficient in another language to make friends in another country, it's very important to interact with the natives of that particular country. You're so right about that.

  45281. Interesting video. Katie can definitely break out the moves when she wants. Her American accent when she speaks English was such that I would have thought she was raised in the US. Because she is a even more visible minority, does she find that when she is with Japanese friends, that despite speaking Japanese that servers etc., attempt to speak to her through her Japanese friends. By this I mean Katie speaks to server etc. in Japanese, and they reply and speak to the Japanese looking friends, because they can't comprehend that someone who is obviously not ethnically Japanese looking, can fluently converse in Japanese. Thanks for making your Facebook entries available to view without joining the platform. Very interesting material.

  45284. Hi, you give great advice. Years ago (before you were born) I was in the Army stationed in Germany (3 months in West Germany and 3 months in Berlin). You are right, when the mind senses a change it adapts. It didn't take long at all to learn basic language skills. For me, nothing close to your skills but fundamental stuff, like ordering basic food and drink, where's the restroom?... However, the Chinese were a different story. It may have been because I was older but I didn't get it at all. Plus the differences between mainland China and Hong Kong. I do have a curious observation. I traveled between Beijing and Singapore. I saw the importance of the language teacher. It wasn't grammar and diction but "colloquialisms." Those must be the hardest to translate, especially when different instructors have different colloquialisms for the same transition. For example, the phrase "thank you". At the bar in Beijing, the response would be "no problem." In Singapore, the response, at the bar, would be "you're welcome." No big deal, but I prefer "you're welcome." I, personally consider "no problem" as slang. I love your videos, not sure why, but they are educational and entertaining.

I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing you on continuing your journey. 😉👍

  45302. A certain language channel I enjoy watching I think does a good job of not claiming to be fluent in a ridiculous number of languages. Instead, they are just conversational and are only capable of having simple conversations in the videos and they don't edit out the parts where they have to pause and think of certain words because they forget or even have to ask how to say certain words. They seem to show the languages they are weak in and the ones they are much stronger in. They don't have fancy editing in it to make it seem like they are extremely fluent in all of these languages. They only make it seem like they are really fluent in two or three languages From other channels i've seen they have extremely clickbaity videos and titles about how they magically have learned how to speak a language in like two weeks

  45308. Hi Anming, great introductory voice-over that gave a quick overall idea of what your videos are about. You said that you used to be an introvert before. Is it possible that when you speak other languages, they might bring out different personalities within you? https://youtu.be/id5t-44VVBQ

  45314. Sorry, I’m not convinced that it doesn’t bother you. When someone compliments you, the better thing to say is “Thank you” but you seem to always say, no, no, no. While I’m chinese american and only had limited visits to China, I do know that if you weren’t liked and accepted by these people you meet, they wouldn’t be spending time making small talk with you or give you free stuff. Chinese in China don’t make small talk unless you’re part of their family or inner circle of friends. When you see a blond girl speaking fluent Chinese and Japanese, it is not common there because the populations are so homogeneous. In America, you see an Asian person speaking English you don’t make a comment because you come to expect the diversity. Seems to me you’re assuming these Chinese and Japanese people should treat you like you’re living in America. Other than that, I enjoy watching your vids because you’re bridging the gap between our cultures and you’re also humanizing the regular Chinese and Japanese people. When one can’t communicate with another person, we may get the wrong idea of their motives. But the truth is everyone just wants to live a good life, have friends and raise a family. It’s the politicians that ultimately teach us to hate one another. You have a gift and you make it look so easy. Cherish it.

To make a long story short .... I never want to repeat either aspect of that trip again!! I wish nothing but the best for you my friend 🙏🙏 Pls be safe 😊🥰🥰

  45362. I saw the haw flakes in the candy store, I love them! I have just finished making hawthorn jam from the local hawthorn in England that is really small- it took 4 hours to remove the stones! Chinese hawthorn is so much bigger! I first tasted haw flakes and loved the flavour (I also like the hawthorn strips) so I try to make it as I cannot buy it in this rural area and to buy online is more expensive.

  45381. Good video. I think as long as one puts in the effort and can carry out conversations in their third or fourth or fifth languages they can be considered as a polyglot. Realistically, it is not common and takes a long time to really attain mastery in multiple languages, but that shouldn’t discourage anyone from learning their target languages. At the same time, the title shouldn’t matter. The love of learning should matter. The way to learn is not to spread yourself thin and not do multiple languages a day as you said, but rather set realistic goals for yourself and engage with the culture. Conversational practice and learning the culture of the language you engage with is critical to learning any language. I would say that’s the bread and butter. Even in terms of grammar, you catch your mistakes much more by throwing yourself out there and meeting new people than just worrying about all the rules of your target languages.

What HSK test did you take after your 1 year course in China? (I guess it was one year, I couldn't find a video of yours talking about it) Edited: I hope you don't mind the bunch of questions xD

  45388. If you would say your Mandarin word for word in Cantonese, you will sound like a square. Conversational Cantonese is different from Chinese writing. That is why Cantonese is hard to learn.

  45405. I've watched a lot of the different polyglot videos recently and I have to agree with you. Some of these people who claim to speak 15 or 20 languages can't do much more than the computer equivalent of a "Hello, world!" program. "Excuse me do you speak this language? My name is Bill.. what is yours? I studied at this school for this long. This language is very difficult."

  45408. Yes! Im glad this topic is being shed light on. I wont name any channels but Ive seen some pretty popular channels, especially one where this person works around speaking the most basic phrases and act like they're fluent on those languages lol. I speak Filipino, English and French and when I heard this person speak Tagalog and French, it was atrocious lol. Funny how more often, the people that this person talks to, aren't even impressed because this person just says the most basic phrases and was trying to fish any suprised-pikachu faces, but they don't lol I speak 3 languages quite fluently and can get by in Spanish. I can also say basic words and phrases in several more languages, but I am far from being called a "Polyglot". I stopped watching these channels cause it became cringe at this point 😅

To me, the word for 餃子 doesn’t exist in English. 餃子美味しい! I feel your pain regarding cooking Asian food (or just cooking in general). I think my life would be complete if I could cook proper Japanese food.

  45424. Hi Anming!😊 Thanks for your self introduction, it was very interesting. I started to learn Japanese three months ago (I'm a 47 year old man), and I wonder how you are so disciplined and keep your motivation? When I study Hiragana and Katakana, I forgot many already the next day. My teacher told me, to keep motivation is most important, but very hard to do, she understands. I want to see fast result, so I easy get frustrated if results do not come fast enough. I never had that by the Russian language or other languages I learned. Tell me your advice please to keep my motivation? Sure watching your video's and you speaking Japanese already helps.😉

  45435. So basically, it's a brag 😂 "Bet you haven't seen a white girl speaking Chinese in Japan before". As a Cantonese, your Mandarin might just be better than mine. I may still get my tones mixed up from the Cantonese tonal pattern and system if I have to speak as fast as you.

  45436. Is it okay for your husbands family to fly out to America? It’s to bad you guys couldn’t get married in America if your husband’s family could fly out. So that way your family and his family can be a the wedding together. Here in Hawaii, I saw a couple that had a western-Japanese style wedding very similar to your wedding. It was very nice!

  45459. After years of renting, we finally bought a home in 2020. We call it our “b’sheret” house because it felt meant to be. We rented a house that was falling apart across the street and a week into our home buying adventure this home had its second offer fall through. We live in rural Carolina’s so property values are low and this home would easily be 800k+ in a major metropolitan area and we pay a fraction of that. Some of my coworkers in Houston heard what our mortgage, homeowners insurance, and taxes bill is and it was lower than their 1 bedroom city apartments. It is kind of shocking how much 600-700 sq feet costs in Tokyo and we’re sitting on around 3000 on a square acre and paying less than half. It balances out a little with needing two cars and private school tuition for two boys (school system sadly stinks), but yeah I sometimes look around and just think I’m leaving the dream.

  45469. 3:54 Uncle: In other countries, they don't put two of the same words next to each other right? Me: Try Philippines. 😂 Here are some examples: Halo Halo - (mixed/assorted) Pichi pichi - (a Philippine dessert made up of cassava and coconut) Dala dala - (carrying) muni muni - (observe) bola bola - (ground beef or pork shaped into a ball and deep fried) tumpik tumpik - (hesitate) Buko buko - (back) pito pito - (tadpole) walo walo - (a type of sea snake) isa isa - (one at a time) butlig butlig - (blisters) and many more...

  45470. The result of this experiment is: If you have a vacation in Japan but you can't speak their language, no chance to interact. Your tip at 9:08 is obvious, but japanese language is not the easiest thing to learn... :(
    1
  45471. This was the video that inspired me to start learning this beautiful language. Since February 2 2021 i been studying till this day. I understood some of it without reading the subtitles now. I will always remember that late night i bumped into this video and told myself "you know what im learning some Japanese tomorrow ". and for this video i wanna say ありがとうございます🙂
    1
  45472. YES! that is one of the first rules I learned about getting compliments for my Japanese, back when I first studied in my college years and was meeting lots of Japanese people. I'm not fluent in Japanese yet, but when I do speak it I tend to surprise Japanese people. They are more surprise that my accent sounds "good." I just tell them that it isn't that good, and that the only reason why I am able to speak it fast is because phonetically both Japanese and Spanish share the same phonetic sounds. I always say that I got lots to practice and learn.

  45480. I think what you're doing is so cool. In the early 60s, as a young Marine, I got to be stationed twice in Japan. Wish I had spent more time immersing myself in the culture (I did some) and less time in the bars.

  45487. Interesting video and honest conversation with Tkyosam here! I admire his insights about being judged but still coming out strong and not giving a care about it. When people project to others, it says more about them.
    1
  45488. Even though I know 4 languages (Spanish, English, Japanese, Korean), but I don't really consider myself to be fluent on either Japanese or Korean. I have an intermediate level and can understand around 60/70% of the things people say. Even though I could go by as "polyglote", I wouldn't really consider myself as so until I am fluent on all the languages I claim to speak. Most people here might say like I speak 8 languages, but... do they really? It would be easy for me to look up for certain vocabulary before doing a video and then just pouring it out without really understanding it... my point is, people might know the language to a certain extent, but they might not be fluent at them. It really depends on the person to decide wether claiming they dominate the language or not honestly...

  45489. Oh that country you visited was a really nice country. It’s one of the hidden gem IMO. Every one knows Thailand but not everybody knows about Burma

  45491. I tried learning German and Spanish at the same time. Then when I found some resources where I can start learning Japanese, I added that. Three different languages at the same time? That was rough. Way too much. Now I'm just studying Japanese. I'll go back to German sooner or later.

  45504. I lived in Kyoto from 2005 to 2007 & it was a mixed experience. On one hand; the homogeneous preservationist culture is admirable & results in a high trust (low crime) community. On the other hand; the food, events, & opportunity to experience other “flavors” on whole was non existent; making for a rather boring cycle in short order. I really like that Japan has not resorted to mass immigration, despite globalist pressures. It’s what I respect most about Japan, Poland, & such places that truly place their culture & people above politically correct influences. Would I live in Japan again - absolutely not. Too many other options with a more enjoyable atmosphere, but that’s from the perspective of an ethnic Finn.

  45505. So interesting for me to see what a steep learning curve with professional Japanese vocabulary and culture you need to learn.

  45514. Well also your beauty as a foreigner has an upperhand .pls dont forget that helps a lot in Japan

  45515. Great video. I agree that one can get carried away watching too many youtube videos, but I really enjoyed this one. It wasn't pretentious or self promoting, just straightforward and honest. I came across it because I've been watching a lot of polyglots pranking people videos and found one that you had done. I really need to stop watching those videos and get back to practising Spanish. BTW, you don't have an accent when speaking English IMO. Then again I'm from Canada where we also speak English properly. 😊

  45516. Man I LOVE eating seaweed as a snack. My girlfriend thinks im crazy haha. By the way your camera try to remember white balance if you can in camera. The restaurant was a little yellow but the outside white balance was perfect. Great video :)

  45517. I needed this blast of wholesomness, Tommy's excitement was so palpable!! I was smiling the whole time. This is one of my favorite videos of yours, we need the Tommy content!

  45518. I love how you say ke yi ba, you also learned the chinese manneurism of humility haha. I speak teochew Dialect so my mandarin is pretty bad, but since you speak it slower than normal Chinese people I think I might learn from you as they can speak quite fast and its hard to understand lol!

  45519. I am always hungry after I watch your videos now. All the food looks so interesting and delicious. I've seen you order Bubble Tea many times. What exactly is Bubble Tea? I've never heard of it.

  45528. I found it so interesting about the more advanced you get the less reaction you get! I’ve been studying Chinese for almost 4 years now and just got my HSK5, and noticed that nowadays people just accept that I can speak Chinese instead of the shower of “哇你的中文很好” I used to get when I first started。 I think it also helps that my pronunciation has improved a lot since living in China

  45561. Now with GPS and smartphone it's not happening anymore but getting lost in Japan is the best way to discover how kind they are. I was lost a few times in Japan and everytime you won't believe what such kind people did to help me! Even inviting me to a restaurant and paying the bill and giving me a lift to where I needed to go! I agree about breaking the ice it's worth it!

  45562. Well I tried to learn Japanese even I could speak a little bit but when I shift there for my father's business for 8months . And even I didn't have any idea how did I master japanese in 8months which I couldn't master from 5year.

  45573. I love your content. It's fun and informative. Speaking of hot and humid, please come visit Central Florida sometime. Maybe pop by WDW Epcot and shock the international cast members in the Japanese and Chinese pavilions by speaking their language. Also try "Drinking around the world" while your there too. That would be a cool video recorded in a hot and humid place. I look forward to your continuing content. Keep up the good work.

  45588. I believe 鬱 is not even hard Kanji to write for Japanese, the same probably go for Chinese who writes in traditional Chinese characters. Part of it is because 鬱 is indeed a difficult Kanji with many strokes. The other part is that we are all typing on phones or computers. We really don't need to write on paper that often these days. I don'expect the new generations can write lots of Kanji but I do expect people like me in 40s still know how to write them and we should. It is part of our culture!　PCと携帯は確かに便利だけど、脳はあまり使われないようになるので、携帯を使わない方がいいと思う時も時々ありますね。

  45592. I am from Ukraine and I can speak 5 languages. Actually, I can say, it takes really long time to master even a single language and it demands a very good mental health or attitude, I don't know if there is a word for that. But I've been struggling to learn another language just because I lost my home to Russia in 2014 and I am losing all my relatives and friends even today and I feel too depressed to learn anything. I think you need to lead a careless life and have enough constant motivation at the same time ... But on the other hand, had I spent all my time learning some phrases from different languages and not mastering those I claim to be able to speak, maybe I would have become a 30+ language polyglot lol ?

  45604. AHHHH you inspire me so much! haha. My goal is to be fluent in at least 5 languages other than English (my first language). I'd like to fluently speak in Tagalog (Flipino), Hangul (Korea), Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese! I'm currently only conversational in Spanish. Also, I can understand Tagalog fluently but I can only minimally speak it. I need to practice. I will one day speak to you in Japanese or Chinese!

  45618. Something I notice in these videos (in Japan) and not so much in China is the architectue, and the quaintness of the shops. There's character, personality and warmth. In China, there's the three to four main colors you see often, but I'm always looking (in the cities, that is) for more character in building construction and comfort-feel in shops. I hope it increases there. Oh, and thanks again for the vid, Pearl. I'm always happier at the moment I see another of your vids!

  45627. Please continue to post on YouTube don’t hate it lol,you have fans from all over the world now,like im from 🇽🇰 kosovo in europe and watching you in japan 🇯🇵,i love your videos becouse are pure no fake things involved like i can feel your videos like im in there for example going to small shops etc,noone knows what people are going through so meaby a small encouragement or a good message gonna make a person happy,i wish to you a blessed happy life☺️🙌

  45628. Lived in Northern Japan, Tohoku region for 2 years, and i met plenty of people in the country side who had never seen a foreigner in person. My favorite thing to do was when i would over hear something like "gaijin da!" id respond with "Oi! Nihonjin dayo!" to which they would almost always look in disbelief and start laughing X) haha. Good times. Nope in the country side just existing is enough to get plenty of people looking your direction.

  45629. I do wish the subtitles were a little less 'in your face, with a big clear red/white bar'. (like Xiaomanyc for example, simple nothing more) Other then that its always fun so see such vids. :)

  45638. Actually, I am using Chinese Class 101 Dot Com, and I really enjoy it. I had no idea what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve been unsatisfied with my listening ability and my grammar, and these lessons are really helping. I’m not sure whether all of the lessons are done by the same people, but I’m in the intermediate lessons, taught by Brendan and Echo, and they are so good. They make the lessons so enjoyable.

  45667. Indeed, the talk about using the language and getting reactions is very relatable. Especially when it comes to Asian countries. Like, speaking English in UK (as a non-native, but proficient speaker), no one notices a thing, since I look like any other European. But if I ever get to Japan, probably, no matter how good my Japanese would become, I won't really be able to blend in.

  45668. No need to censor me young lady. You have my support.

  45685. Amazing 😳 great job, speaking two languages which are the most difficult in the world. I know one American girl from Oregon, who studied several languages in Kazakhstan. She speaks fluently like you , but only in Kazakh and Russian languages. She also visits markets, shops and other different places to speak with locals. Everybody are surprised of her perfect accent and high level of grammar . Maybe someday you’ll also wish to learn Kazakh language as well. Well done 👍🏻

  45692. can you explain what they mean by a "northern accent" is it similar to us in the US like someone from Washington vs someone from Texas?
    1
  45693. Everyone thinks that you are Russian because we have the most beautiful girls)
    1
  45694. I’m Australian and I lived in the US for over 10 years. I totally understand what you mean about their innocent curiosity and questions really getting to you. It happened to me too. Obviously, in the US, we spoke the same language but my accent difference was what people ALWAYS stopped everything to talk about. I just wanna buy a role of sticky tape and they make me the focus of conversation, and people standing nearby get roped in, and while they’re at it they see what you’re buying and hear all the information you give out under well-meaning interrogation. When it happens for the 1000th time, it seriously is just annoying. But after while I made a game of it. Them: “oh you have an accent, where are you from? It’s not Mexico, right?” (And yeah, don’t even start me on racism that people were happy to show in front of me cos I was an “acceptable” foreigner) Me: “Guess! I’ll give you three guesses” (this throws the attention back at them and also involves me giving out less information about myself. Them: “England, Switzerland, Albania” Me: “I’ll give you a hint. I come from an English speaking country” Them: “Ireland, Holland, Canada” Me: “I’ll give you another hint. I’m from the Southern Hemisphere “ Them: “Argentina, Brazil, New Zealand” Me (getting excited): “close! Remember, English is my native language” Surprisingly few people would guess Australian straight up. I assure you that easily 30% of people working in stores (and my patients in hospital) were as obtuse as this example. But the point is, that I could only make it fun if I had time. Just answering straight up “Australia” then leads to the statement “Oh, I’ve always wanted to go to Australia”, but two times in the 12 years I lived in the US, people wanted to know which state Australia was in. I kid you not! And many more than two people said something like “you speak English so well! What language do you speak in Australia?” 👀 So yeah, I understand their interest, but if you’re doing a quick thing, the questions become annoying. Everyone thinks they’re the only person who asked.

  45713. On my second trip to Japan (2016), one day I went to Osaka. Took the train to go to a mall. I'd never been there before, much less that area of Osaka. I wandered the halls a bit, then stood against a pillar to try to find where I next had to go on my smartphone. An old lady walked up to me and began asking for directions. My Japanese wasn't that great to pick up where she wanted to go, so I told her I've never been here before, and escorted her to the local subway staff.
    1
  45714. LOL how long did it take you to learn Japanese?
    1
  45715. 1:40 that head-turn reaction seemed natural to me. If there was someone non-native speaking nearby, I would probably notice that slight difference from the native speakers sub-consciously and turn back to see who it is out of curiosity at least. No big deal.

  45718. It’s so funny how one starts to speak English with a sort of Japanese pacing and flow after speaking Japanese and living in japan for a long time. I know I picked it up and when I came back to the US after ten long years, people were like “why are you talking like that..?” I couldn’t even remember words. Like keshigomu. It would have taken me a while to look at one of those cute erasers and remember that it’s not keshigomu in English.. smh. I’m only just barely starting to get my English back after 3 years back in America.. smh

  45734. If those YouTubers with 'dodgy dialects' are making that much money, you'd think that their sponsors would step in and either sue them for misrepresentation and making their language courses look bad, or just simply cut the sponsorship money. I also hope that Matt has managed to get his own language business back on track, as I believe he had a recent acrimonious fall out with his business partner in their language course (which ironically was somewhat played out on YouTube).
    1
  45735.  @OrientalPearl  I can understand you not wanting to name and shame them yourself, as it could potentially bring a lot of heat your way that you could just do without, but someone should, or these language frauds will keep getting away with it - taking away potential business opportunities from people like yourself - those who put the work, time and effort in to learn the subtleties of their chosen language.

  45789. I've done this by speaking a bit of Spanish or Japanese. It slightly freaks some people out if I jump between Spanish, Japanese, and a little bit of Italian that I know (I am, unfortunately not as Fluent in Japanese or Spanish as I have nowhere to practice and keep it from getting rusty, though I'm almost completely fluent in Spanish and can almost get by in Japanese, which is my preference for a foreign language) I'd love to get in-depth with Japanese and be fluent to one day soon visit Japan.

  45790. i was into some language before .. but i stopped because theres no one encourage me to continue my passion .. i just want to try new language rather than mother tongue which is "Malay" .. with video like this .. i try to continue some japanese, russian , spanish ,,

  45794. Korean is a lot of fun! I only got to a beginner level while I was working in Korea for a year, but knowing Japanese and Mandarin should help a lot if you decide to take it on. I could pick out some of the Chinese words you were saying from the little bit of Korean I know, and the logic behind the grammar is VERY similar to Japanese, so you'll definitely have a head start. Thanks for the video~!

  45802. It's super inspiring for me! What Japan is for you are Arab countries for me as I have been living in one for 6 months due to my studies even though I am originally from Germany. Actually I am gifted in languages but very lazy which I want to change! Studying everyday you know. Next to Arabic I actually studied Turkish and Persian which I should practice more often too. 😂😅 How do you stay motivated in the long term? All the best 💖💖💖

  45829. My Gran is Thai and lived in Malaysia for many years and spoke many languages because there were a lot of languages spoken in her community. I learned some of these from her. I grew up in Ireland and my granda was Scottish so I speak Irish and Scottish Gaelic and obviously English. But I didn’t study any of these languages, except when I was in school and we were all speaking it and had classes on the language. I don’t consider myself as a polyglot because they are what I grew up hearing, you don’t usually count your mother tongue in the languages you speak. Also my gran has dementia so she forgets things and the languages have kind of blurred so it’s useful to speak some of the languages she knows, not just one.

  45839. Thank you for this! I didn't realize this was an issue for the Youtube language video community (although the way things are in the US today, I should have guessed.) But you and Wouter both made very good points, and IMHO, a lot of people who complain about these videos are just projecting. Like lots of people who complain about things that most others tend to not be concerned about.

  45854. personally I can speak 7 languages but every language I speak has a different level, some people just use Google translate and learn some phrases then considered themselves polyglots. I always say I don’t even speak well my own mother language (Spanish). For example when you watch a tv documentary there will always be some words you might not know about (daily short conversation anyone can get within a day) the problem comes with the clickbait of the tittle in the videos

  45857. I love the variety of videos on your channel. These more documentary style are some of my favorite second to the language learning videos. Keep in mind- the best content may not immediately be as rewarded with mega views, but in my opinion it doesn’t diminish the worth of the video. This video was MORE than worth the watch- the editing, the focus, the entertainment, and getting snippets of education throughout. I hope my comment helps the algorithm along to promote this video!!

  45862. I can honestly say I don't think people are talking about me. I'm not really that noticeable (kinda mousy and unnoticeable...I'd make a great spy ㅋㅋㅋ) and I usually think people in public are too worried about being understood to openly say anything. I also think their present activity is more likely to be the topic of their discussion than me. For that reason, I find these types of videos pretty fascinating and surprising.

  45865. all that "colonialism, fame, sex, power..." nonsense are from jealous people who cannot even speak their own native language properly, the world is becoming a weird place you have to be as dumb as anyone else or you will be hated for knowing too much, or being too much capable, its like they hate seeing their own people getting along with foreigners, looks pertty much xenophobic to me to be honest, i share my congratulations wish the best of life for anyone trying to surpass language barriers, meet different people, share knowledge and spread different cultures through the vast world, its not about showing off, its using it for something, why would anyone try something hard and achieve to do something usefull with it? do people go on engineers or physicist channels that make cool projects tell them to stop showing off? all in all ,god bless you all who keep trying everyday to improve yourself through dedication and hardwork.

    1
  45872. Your Japanese is good, maybe overly formal at times - sounding more relaxed makes you seem more native and friendly, and perhaps try and smooth our your sounds so you're not making small stalls after every syllable, see how the natives speak, it flows together nicely. I would also recommend not telling everybody that you're American all the time, it's a question for them to ask you and if they don't it seems a bit pretentious to just blurt out how proud you are to be American. I always enjoy speaking to Japanese people, they have nice insight and don't care who you are or where you're from.

  45882. I just came across your videos by coincedence, but let me get this straight. You are an American studying at a Chinese university on a foreign student exchange program with a Japanese university buying American books translated into Chinese from a Chinese bookstore located in Japan. That is ありえないレベル of 厉害!

  45886. These complainers are being total gatekeepers, and that's screwed up IMO. As someone who doesn't learn languages well, who was sent to live in japan for work and is doing his best to learn japanese, it's actually really inspiring to see foreigners who speak at least pretty decent japanese... it makes me feel like if they can do it, I can do so long as I keep it up. These types of videos might have a clickbait title - and I can see that annoying people, sure... but I don't see any problem with people going around and speaking a language with anyone that they worked hard and spent the time learning so that they could interact with local people, and seeing the excitement on locals faces when someone shows that they actually took the time to learn and care about their culture, language, etc. is the best part of this whole thing... As for 'why dont people come to america and shock americans' well, thats because America is accustomed to the diversity and people trying to learn English to go to the USA. Many of these other places (such as Japan where I live) are homogenous, and its a completely different thing. In the USA we just kinda blanket expect everyone to know English - the Japanese do not feel this way. Same with many other countries with homogenous societies or regions. However, if a Korean person moved to the USA and went to like, a Jewish community in New York and started speaking Yiddish with little old ladies, that would be shocking to those people, and super cool. These people complaining are just trying to find outrage in nothing, and I find that to be a bigger detriment to our society than polyglots going around talking to people in their native tongues...

  45891. I've seen a couple of your videos and your bubbly personality is really contagious. P.S. You're from Michigan and there's a funny story of mine which includes an English teacher also from Michigan. She has worked in many countries and 2 years ago she came to my country and she ended up in a wrong side of my hometown and I ended up as her tourist guide for a few hours and she was also open and talkative so it was a perfect match. You two share the same enthusiasm. Greetings from Mostar,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Europe. 🙋
    1
  45892. The Randoseru is pretty ugly but I guess it's like a right of passage and a cultural part of being Japanese like wearing Yukata in summer. The strangest thing I've found about Japan is seeing little kids taking the train to school alone. I used to live near Shinjuku station and they'd all collect at the Family Mart in the morning waiting for their friends then go take the train. The staff in the station seemed to know the right trains too so if some 6 year old gets lost they direct them to the right train. It's something that shows how safe Japan can be. A funny story about those kids was once they were playing a game at each station where they'd jump off and on again as the doors are closing trying to do it as late as possible. One kid tried it and left it too late so was left on the platform looking annoyed with himself. I laughed so hard as the train is pulling away and he's just stood there.

  45931. I also started out very young drawing and I very much liked it. At some point I went on doing digital design, DTP, web design and also a bit of developing. I eventually ended up doing User Experience Design, which I very much love to do. It also has been a business choice of mine as well. I've had a lot of hobbies throughout the years and I chose to professionalise some. Like photography was a passion for me as well and been doing that for a long time alongside my design work. It's great! Big fan of Manga and anime. I think it's very commendable that there are so many talented artists that dedicated their life to making awesome illustrations for us weebs. Respect!

  45936. i really want to learn Japanese,Korean, and Chinese but i dont know where to start or which language I should start studying first or if i should just pick one since it will take a lot of time and effort just to learn one language ??

  45938. I even beat the notifications for this video. My only complaint is that it is not long enough!! Great to see what is going on in other parts of the world. Stay safe.

  45940. This is a great video! I have a question. I've been learning Czech consistently for a year to speak with my husband's family. I want to keep going but start learning Spanish for work. Would beginning to learn Spanish while still learning Czech be a detriment to my progress?
    1
  45941. I gave your channel a shout out on my fake slap video when you wrote that the Will Smith slap even made the media in Japan. Glad to see be able to watch a channel that help people learn a new language and is not a fake or phony channel...Thank you

  45942. 2:40 "How did I end up accidently getting the Japanese food in Chinatown in Korea... How did that happen?" Remember when you bought an American book in a Chinese bookstore in Japan? 😅

  45952. Your ending really got to me. I always jokingly correct the sayings of places in my mind now. I can't unhear the correct way to say the places and all the foreigner videos pronouncing it wrong.. AHHH!

  45953. I agree with what you said about other Jvlog YT channels, I love some of them to death but they barely speak Japanese or with Japanese ppl.

  45954. 呃我很討厭那男主持人，令人尷尬，不尊重人。你很棒！ I am a chinese. I would like to say your Mandarin is almost as good as chinese people's. And I feel very uncomfortable watching the male host saying those stupid words to you! Everyone knows you are a better person than him in every aspect!

  45973. Before the days of fancy gimbals and DSLRs I had a puny sports video camera on a monopod that I carried upside down to get a sort of dogs eye view of the Tokyo streets. It was a sort of walking/tour video before they were really a thing. Anyway, I remember hearing some Japanese guys call me CHIKAN because I guess it looked like I was trying to look up skirts. I just had to laugh atvthe whole thing because it never occurred to me that is what it looked like. The footage was to shaky to be used without any stabilization from a gimbal. Some of it turned out ok and was published several years ago. If only I had a gimbal way back then I could be posting like the cool kids today. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  45974. is this in Tokyo? their Chinatown is so cute, quite different from the US. But to be honest, I like Japanese Chinatown more, more similar with China.
    1
  45975. I’m taking a class on second language acquisition for my Linguistics/TESOL major, and I’ve learned so far that the likelihood of learners reaching native-like fluency is pretty rare, and those who do study it for years. I majored in ling because, in high school, I would watch polyglot videos and feel so bad that I wasn’t able to become “fluent” in less than a year like they did. I thought ling would make me learn languages easily (wrong! Though it’s definitely helped understand things.)
    1
  45976. What kind of job were you working when you started learning Japanese? Not to be too nosy, I just wonder about the general career/industry, not exact place or company. I always kind of wonder about how people with a full-time job do this stuff unless this was really close to your ONLY hobby for a while, I am always a bit too scattered to focus on one thing at a time even though I know it's not good, I progress very slowly because of it 🙃

  45993. I got my CELTA few years ago with intentions to teach in Asia but with the news of what's happening currently and some stories I've witnessed constantly via Facebook groups on English teachers from Indonesia to Vietnam and the taking advantage of western teachers I kind of became salty with the idea.

  45994. heyyyy i just came across your videos and I love them, i can speak 5 languages but I still have the French accent (I am French) in all languages. ♥ I think you manage like a queen with languages ♥

  46000. IM NEVER TRUSTING A VENDING MACHINE IN JAPAN AGAIN. Without having any change, I was forced to use my 1,000 yen bill and obviously, THAT WASN'T VERY SMART OF ME!!!! The one I happened to use is broken and it didn't give me anything. I tried pressing the button that returns your money and that didn't work. I was very tempted to kick that thing, but I just walked away salty.

  46004. This might seem like a strange place to ask this of maybe even silly, however I am hoping that someone could help me with answers :) my absolute goal would be to work and live in Japan. I strive to be an attorney. However I am not really sure if this is possible as a foreigner. I was wondering if anyone has even a simple answer to whether working as a foreign attorney would be possible. Any answer would be of help and even any resources that I could read or watch on the topic of foreign careers would be amazing as well. (Or anything of the sort) If anyone knows of laws or processes that someone would need to go through in order to get to working full time in japan that would be amazing. If no one has any answers that Is alright as well. Thank you. And sorry for the long comment haha (PS. I really enjoy your videos)

  46056. Oh my God! I have so much respect for you because you not only trained yourself in Mandarin but also Japanese and you speak English already and now you’re working on Korean or Hangul! I have no idea how people can even speak shit about you without even acknowledging or knowing all of you!! it’s insane and truly disappointing how people would just start hating people to perhaps just piggy back on your fame to gain a little more exposure themselves. I have just one word for your haters … »AAHHO!!»😇 all my love to you🤗🤗🤗 keep going and ohhh congratulations on the wedding front!!

  46057. I've got plenty of times into the "japanese looking surprised while two foreigners speaking between themselves in japanese" situation. Mostly in train stations or just walking by, but it happens everywhere, as you mention. But I might say it's likely more often in that situation, with "normal" commuters or in an izakaya, for example, than on a store or a conbini, since they are a lot more used to people being fluent. Because well, in the majority of cases, in Tokyo 23ku specially, but also outside, we surely won't be the "first foreigner" they met or talk to, even in good Japanese. We are not in the 90s anymore... I prefer that, than getting the "上手ですねー", every time after saying just こんにちは... xD
    1
  46058. Love your videos!
    1
  46059. I think the one problem I'm really going to face is the fact that I lack fluency which makes my confidence waver. I can hardly talk to people in my own language without stuttering but then I'll repeat words and get flustered while talking Japanese while studying alone in my room. I even get embarrassed to mouth words under my mask when I go to work. I really want to go to work and do business in Japan cause I'm interested in working with companies in the US and Japan but (catch me about to cry) I need to really work on public speaking skills and maybe take a Japanese class to gain confidence in speaking Japanese in front of people. I have to remember that I'm bad now but I can get better. One day I'll be able to order food oneday

  46072. Ah, been there. The people online that make you want to do terrible things. I'm half Brazilian and I used to get made fun of alot because I spoke no english and only Portuguese and moved to america in my late kid years. I'm white so people would assume I'm fluent in English and would get mad at me when I couldn't answer them. Don't listen to ass holes that just wanna sh*t on everything. They have no real lives and they sold their souls for internet clout. That's them. You're great. I love watching, even if I'm a lurker.

  46086. Funny enough I found your channel after already starting to use Japanesepod101 and I guess with different Japanese related searches on here I found your channel. Its only been a few weeks but even watching this I heard words and phrases I knew and recognized sentance patterns you used. I know this is an older video but just wanted to say that for anyone who is thinking about using the app/site :)

  46093. If your videos don't do anything else, they show how much we are all the same despite the differences in our governments. People's concept of how different they think other cultures are is so mentally confining. Even the misunderstanding of cultures in this country, like the Amish and Mennonite communities that most people don't ever realize how warm, friendly, and funny they can be if you get t know them. Keep up your videos, keep facing the challenges that try to stand in your way, and stay safe in these crazy times.

  46108. Another great video. It's like you're the best asian tour guide ever. Do you walk around with a cell phone on a selfie stick recording yourself? Is it really obvious you're recording? I gotta say I was like wow! when I heard you say 口語. Somehow I feel like if I tried to say 口語 they wouldn't understand me and I'd have to rephrase it to say something easier like 会話.

  46125. It is truly amazing the three of you are learning trying to have a class learning Finnish and that was hilarious but having fun though with drinks. It reminded me of my language experience growing up in a Filipino-American family in the United States, being an American-born Filipino, I learned my grandparents’ and parents’ native Filipino (Tagalog) language. I completely understood what the family was talking about, but could not speak it quite fluently, until I joined the U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines for 7 years. It is there I completely immerse myself reading, writing, and speaking the Tagalog language. In the U.S. Air Force, and the other branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, the military seeks out and kept a bank list of those service members who were proficient foreign language speakers. I took the U.S. Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s language proficiency test which I passed (Tagalog is a Category Level III language), and I was receiving an additional $100 foreign language proficiency pay each month. If the U.S. military needed foreign language speakers for any reasons, for example, intelligence, translation of foreign documents, interrogating foreign prisoners of war, or being a military translator in U.S. military bases around the world, and etc., it fills the mission requirements or the mission needs of our U.S. military forces objectives. Chinese, Japanese, Korean are Category Level IV; Finnish is Category Level III. These levels are based on terms of learning difficulty for native English speakers – the higher the category level, the difficulty is the learning the language by English speakers. Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed watching your videos.

  46127. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the black experience in Japan. After watching many of the videos, a couple of things stood out. First is they feel safer in Japan and the main thing is that they don’t get hassled by the police, like in the U.S. One man who’s lived in Japan for 38 years, says he truly feels like a free man there.

  46131. Hi girl how you work anything okay
    1
  46132. it is not surprised most people think you are russian or ukrainian. as a european i would think so too. and in fact guessing that someone is from america is impossible since america is not a real nation but a melting pot. anywhere else in the world, people will put you in a box based on how you look of course since each region of the world has certain characteristics. yours just seem eastern european and i am willing to bet you have ancestry from there.

  46134. For me , learning or know any languages are their own business! I have studied English since i was in grade sixth,and it grade seventh i studied French. And in grade 9-10 I learned Thai and lao a little bit. And Japanese and Korean are also on my bucket list 👍❤️❤️

  46135. Seriously asking, are you planing on learning anyother language, if yes what would that be ? And do you speak another language besides english, japanese, and mandarin ? Love you ❤

  46150. This is great video to illustrate the benefits and joys of learning and using the another language. It also shows the down side of being a foreigner using the local language which can sometimes occur. Although most are happy that you are willing to make the effort to try to communicate in their language, even if it's not perfectly fluent. Thanks for the kick in the butt to redouble my efforts in learning Japanese, had some computer issues and just slacked off a bit. You reminded me that what you put into something determines what you will ultimately get out of it. I needed this to reorient my head.

  46151. I do well with the Germanic and Latin-based languages; the Asian languages have always been a problem for me. You make it look effortless!

  46153. A lot of my language exchange partners on hellotalk and tandem don't have time to talk with me😭. Nice video though :), do you have plans to learn any other language? Or you're fine with Japanese and Chinese.

  46159. Anming, you are a real credit to yourself and your family. What a polygot and the people really appreciated your ability to speak without any accent. Wow, I can only speak Mandarin and would love to pick up Japanese and also Spanish and Dutch mainly for hockey as I am a hockey player and coach. Perhaps you should get your country's leaders to do likewise instead of being narrow minded. Keep the wonderful videos coming as for me it is a must watch every week. Love it and hope when the corona virus is over you can shoot over to China and meet up with Li Zhiqi and do a video together and I am sure your subscribers will shoot into the million mark.

  46175. Wow, people can find anything to be upset about. What harm do these videos do? Meanwhile, the USA has a culture of making untalented narcissists like the Kardashians and the "catch me outside" girl rich and famous. People need to get over themselves. I am an Engineer and math has always come easy to me. Science is my language. When it comes to languages, I have a terrible mental block. That is why I am completely fascinated with people who can speak multiple languages. I learn a little with every video I watch on this channel. How could anybody see that as a problem? I just don't understand why people hate so much for no reason. Just live and let live.

  46187. When I was a teenager, my gal pal was dating a young man who was deaf. So she learned American Sign Language and taught me, too. One day, we went swimming at a local lake, and decided not to speak but just to sign to each other and let people think we could not hear. Two guys started flirting with us, and we flirted back, but without speaking. After a while, when they just took it for granted we couldn't hear what they were saying, they started talking about us behind our backs, so to speak. It was quite amusing to hear what they really were thinking! We let them go on like this for some time, and then we shocked them and spoke out at something they said. The look on their faces, caught, was hilarious. Maybe it taught them a lesson, but I doubt it. It must be fun to hear people speaking Chinese when they assume you don't understand what they are saying. Do you have any stories to tell about those times? Wish I could speak Chinese.

  46188. lol you are hilarious. love your personality and channel so much!

  46211. What language/s will you learn next, after Japanese? - @Oriental Pearl Am very curious to know; maybe go with a European or a Slavic language? What about Hindi, Arabic, or even a much lesser know language such as Icelandic or Maori (spoken in New Zealand)?

  46221. I had no idea 🤷🏾 their was any hate for your channel. Your channel really does promote wholesome cross cultural interactions which I believe is a positive thing for everyone. I think if someone hates on those types of things says more about them than what it actually says about your channel tbh. Yes, u a are a foreigner but we are all foreigners if u get outside your box. Ppl who shame ppl for venturing out and having the courage to face the world are are ppl worth admiring and aspiring towards. The idea ppl criticizing ppl for this is so backwards and regressive

  46224. In order to interact with the local people, one needs to be fluent in the language. To be fluent, one must study for years or better still, live in that country for a time - not always possible. Sigh, I envy her.

  46227. Sorry to be a nitpick, but those search features are actually paid-only. Still a fantastic app, and you can always just chat online for free untill you bump into a neighbour accidentally. And it just boggles me how easily people dismiss the fact that language is a communication tool and you can't really practice it without, you know, practicing.

  46231. Thanks for this video. This brings back lots of memories. I commuted by bicycle from Tennoji area to Namba (Nova😁) right through a similar area in Osaka. This was early 90s. I never felt unsafe, but I'm a big tall guy. I really appreciated seeing all sides of Japan and some of the amazing places in areas such as this.

  46236. As someone who has studied languages and speaks more than one language, I truly get inspiration from seeing Polyglots post on Youtube. Overall in society, or at least in the society that I reside in my hometown, polyglots or even language learners seem to be few and far between. It can get lonely, so it's reassuring for me to see language learners and polyglots presenting footage on Youtube, because it's comforting to feel part of an extended community that share the same passion. You hit the nail on the head OP when you mentioned the aspect of inspiring. I've been enjoying your videos since I saw my first early this year.

  46237. You make nice videos' - as your channel grows - so will your equipment and quality. I also do 'archery' - though with a compound bow. A friend in our club use to go out and pick a sapling and make a bow out of it. (arrows also) Sadly we lost him to the C virus last week. Not many people could still make their own arrows or bows. I even knew and shot with his teacher years back. Now both are gone. Don't let the craft traditions die out people. Teach others how to do it. Thank you for the video - hope BF and you are doing well. Take care - be safe. Spin

  46245. Uncle's expression was like "Oh! My daughter-in-law is famous!?" It is there in every country where adults don't recognise you're famous unless someone famous they know knows you lol. I don't mean his father didn't recognise her but he had a shocked expression so it was funny.

  46260. Hey Anming! And Matt :) Good to see some of my fave language Youtuber pros interacting and collabing together, it's awesome! Thanks for this super informative video, I am definitely a HUGE fan of these "polyglot" videos and pro language-claim content, so being reminded that Youtube is also here for entertainment purposes as well as learning is really helpful to know. I am hoping to learn Chinese, Japanese and Korean when I am a bit older and finished in my A-Levels, Year 13 (UK equivalent to senior year!). Would I be able to learn these languages alongside my university degree? Will I have the time to do so? I would like to study International Law, so it would be awesome if I could do at least 1 language on the side or as part of my degree, to then potentially practise law abroad in Asia or work abroad. Thanks for your amazing and awesome content, nice to see you again and take care, stay safe! <3- Lizzy.

  46263. I was surprised by what is considered countryside. What I saw would be called wasteground where I live meaning broken and undeveloped (or previously developed but no longer in use), not a natural untouched piece of land. Makes me feel both fortunate and sad.

Wow, I wish I had stayed in Taiwan to study Chinese - I really improved a lot there in a short time, but then I got a job in Japan and lived there for 2 years and never studied and you're Japanese is so good! What's most important is applying yourself, not how much time you spend somewhere. Knowing the language really enriches your experiences abroad.

  46278. I could recognize certain words but didn't really know the meaning. Just that like 'I know that word' feeling. I guess that's better than nothing. I'm sure if I wasn't trying to learn Korean and Japanese at the same time it would go faster. What scares me away form Japanese is the three different writing systems I have to memorize.

  46280. You probably receive this question all the time but how long did it take you to reach fluency in Mandarin?

  46281. Congrats! given the location, lovely place, beautiful! My home in Zama City Kanagwa Prefecture was not much larger. I think my kitchen was much smaller: I could pull items out of the fridge and turn on the sink faucet at the same time (the space between the open fridge door and the sink was about 10cm).

  46282. You look a lovely couple, wish you the best for the future.

  46283. I wonder if some of these YouTubers are actually spies. They are smart, charming, and adventurous linguists; and that's exactly what countries look for in their espionage recruitments! I'm onto you guys!

  46285. I haven't watched any of the polyglot channels you may be talking about. I have met one person I'd consider a polyglot. A British soldier I met while working in Afghanistan was a military linguist. He said he could "get by" (not well, but just enough) in about 11 or 12 languages (in total) and out of those, was pretty decent in 6 or so. He was always interested improving whenever he could. During the time I knew him, he was always checking with a Norwegian officer about how to say certain things and he studied in his off time while his primary language for military use was those used in Afghanistan. I'm not a fan of the "shock the locals" videos. I came to this channel because I liked that you were showing the area you live in while you're in Japan. It does help encourage me to learn Japanese. This was an interesting conversation.

  46286. I didn’t realise you filmed this in Japan until you said that “I don’t wanna forget Chinese while I’m here in Japan.” at the end of this video😂 I was a bit confused when one of them at the bookstore said the word of Ukraine in Japanese and it makes sense now
    1
  46287. The whole "milk flavor" thing throws me off--I think I was walking the Naritasan Omote Sando and I stopped into this ice cream shop to get a cone. I thought I was getting vanilla, but then I realized there wasn't any vanilla flavor at all. It was just a sweet milk flavored ice cream.

  46288. Wow. I love how he can say that with so much confidence! Very inspiring 11:30

  46322. I have just found out it’s less than 30 percent of Japanese population that knows how to talk English. I wonder if that is because they haven’t learned it at school or if it because the don’t care and think foreigners should talk their language like a lot of people does in America and England and most probably every other countries

  46323. Amin has so much of that Chinese money she can just walk away from it.

  46325. So impressed that you speak japanese AND chinese! I wanna learn japanese, chinese and korean so badly. But these languages are so frightening.

  46326. Smashing Anming, This performance has again practical advice and true statements that if followed, lead to success. About 80 % of the population are social and about 20 % are less social, and only 2 1/2 percent are mad. But you don't see them in the streets. Did something change in your life recently? Something good?

  46336. well unfortunately Japan is an country with lots of natural disasters. so Japanese are mentally prepared that one day at any time Japan will be hit by an powerful earthquakes or other natural disasters. love your video but have one question how long did it take for you to get used to earthquake after how many months staying in JApan ?

  46337. After reading some SLA theories from Krashen, checking a bit of Vygotsky's research, and then picking up a book from Peter Roach... I totally failed understand a bit of phonetics (totally out of my zpd lol). I think it's obvious that if you're not a native English speaker, o que de repente estudiaste algo en latam y entonces hablas Español, or Japanese (東京外国語大学 gang rise up!) or whatever..you can just forget about having "PERFECT" anything or being truly "FLUENT". You will sound weird, you will have grammar mistakes, and no native ever will mistake you for a native when you start talking. So whoever claims otherwise is delusional or lying. Youtube polyglots are like those karate masters from the USA that can create force fields and shock people.

  46340. Well I am an Arab and if I saw a westerner speaking Arabic(which is extremely rare), that would turn my head too. Btw I never saw a single westerner speak Arabic in my life even though I live in a pretty touristy country however I did see a Brit on YouTube speaking perfect Arabic in a Kuwaiti dialect.

  46342. Since covid and the ban on entry in Japan, pretty much all foreigners left in the country can speak Japanese to some extent though

  46343. Does it not get a bit repetitive being asked the same questions again and again? Impressive! I have to constantly change between Mandarin, Cantonese and English at work everyday. You get used to it lol.

  46344. So same as America friendly people everywhere but bad eggs.

  46345. At 9:43...Anming, you said it was your first time driving in Asia when you were in Guam. Isn't Guam in Micronesia not Asia? Also, since Guam is a territory of the United States, the driving should be just like driving in the continental US.

  46351. i gotta disagree about thailand. i lived there for 8 years, learnt only a few words of thai and every time a thai person came up to me, clearly looking like a foreigner, in my everyday clothes rather than my school clothes, and spoke some thai to me and i said i couldnt speak thai back they would say something about me being a foreigner (i know the word for foreigner in thai so i could tell lmao) and then either try to mime it or speak english

  46357. Living in Colorado Springs, I pay $900 a month for 1000 sqft, and a shared backyard! My place is just a standard small duplex house, not as fancy as your setting. My city is the sister city of Fujiyoshida, we have a Torii gate in our downtown area. My view is similar to someone who lives near Mt.Fuji, we also have a large mountain towering over the city that is capped with snow. It's not a volcano though thankfully! Congrats on 1 million, and enjoy your new space!

  46362. I think it's ok that someone doesn't speak the language they are learning that well if they say they are learning. I watch a few and it's nice to see their progress and what they are doing to improve. Mistakes and all.

  46365. For non native speakers, I believe conversational languages is the option. To converse with a person is better than to explain to them what the square root of Pi is in their native level. Like my isiXhosa, German and Japenese is riddled with grammer mistakes as my brain can't translate English or Afrikaans to those languages fast enough, but you will still understand what I am trying to say.

  46368. It is so very interesting to see what you do. Talking to people, having the same small talk with different subjects. And then now and then I hear a word in one of your sentences. That makes me happy and feek good. Thank you for keep making this big effort.

  46375. I totally agree; I don't watch your channel to learn Japanese or Chinese - I watch because you make entertaining videos. It is true that I learn stuff about the languages and cultures in and around Tokyo (including in the Chinese expat community there) but that's a bonus.

  46381. I chuckled at the "pretty" comment, but I wonder about the translation. Maybe "attractive" is the most generic English word? I think of "cute" as being different than "pretty" or "beautiful". "Cute" also captures a part of someone's personality and expression (some combination of youthful, playful, friendly, happy, lively). Obviously there are other words: hot/sexy, gorgeous, stunning, etc. Are there significant differences in how Chinese and Japanese perceive or describe or value attractiveness compared to how Americans do?

  46383. It could be worse Anming. I expect everyone to speak English. This is very arrogant of me. When someone speaks English it comes as no surprise. This is the antithesis of your experience of frustration of compliments. Really, I should complement everyone who speaks English when it’s not their mother tongue. Keep up these brilliant vlogs. Buy the way your Chinese is excellent. (I’ve no way of knowing. I don’t speak it). Domo arigato gozaimashita.

  46387. Belated congratulations 🍾🎊🎈🎉

  46388. Exactly, excellent video! I can feel that, I only watch videos by polyglots who make long live videos talking in other languages, this way you can know if they are really speaking spontaneously, reading a script or simply uttering memorized sentences, and as a Brazilian I could say that Luca Lampariello is really good at speaking other languages. And those guys who make videos learning a language in 7 days, or just impressing people from all the countries in the world, I discard immediately because they are obviously purely interested in views.

  46392. When I was in Japan, I found that there wasn't much access for wheelchairs. I asked some people about it, and basically if you are in a wheelchair, you have to really plan things out, because not all train stations have anything but stairs, so you would have to live near a station that has wheelchair access, then you would also have to exit to work or shopping or to wherever you are going at another station that has wheelchair access. Basically, everywhere I went I noticed this, from stations, to sidewalks, to apartment buildings (most that I visited only have stairs), and so forth.

  46393. Showing respect by taking the time and effort to learn another language and culture is powerful! Of course, it is! ALL humans are personally touched by foreigners who bother to understand them!

  46408. 日本我只是去旅游过几次，没有认真生活过，不敢说。 说中国和我现在呆的地方（New Zealand） 中国发展还不太平衡，有些地方还很落后，国民素质也不平均，有些人确实素质比较差（我指的是卫生，尊重他人隐私之类的方面）以及很多东方的文化西方人不太了解，容易不适应。 但是如果你认真生活过，你就知道东亚，尤其中国，和西方世界最大的差别----人情味。 中国人其实很友好，如果某个外国人愿意给中国人付出1分友好，那么中国人会回报给对方10分。 还有一点就是老生常谈的安全了，东亚真的很安全（不过新西兰也很安全，所以这点还好）。

  46409. there are brazilians watching your videos as well! what do u think about the portuguese language?

  46410. I would rather see and hear what you actually care about over gotcha gimmicks with unsuspecting participants, that market is already cornered. It is entertaining when you do them but don't be discouraged love.

  46411. Anming I checked the Twitch channel of that nanpa guy again but it seems like his channel doesn't exist anymore. I guess people have reported him :( I know what he was doing on the Tokyo streets was bad but I don't feel good about this happening.

  46412. I know an American-born woman of Asian descent who has received compliments and shocked looks about how good her English is. It bothers her a little, but she knows they mean well. I don't get it - can't people tell when someone was born here?

  46413. Ahhh beautiful! Yes I agree with the “bubble “. I’ve been in Australia 45 years and made a conscious decision early on not to gravitate to “ Irish clubs “ something I hav never regretted! . Now to start learning Mandarin for this old brain to master .

  46427. Your language speaking is amazing and I am also trying to learn some too.❤ Also I have a question, how long did it take to learn these languages?😅

  46428. Hi Anming.... *why im laughing while hear your chinese name lul*... anyway, idk if i late but im happy while watch this video. its truth that language is one of the barrier that people cant enjoy for chat. dont bother with haters... haters always gonna be haters... just keep like you always do :)

  46429. Hey Oriental Pearl! Congrats on your Marriage! I came to this video from Takashi's interview with you. I'm surprised that your husband lived in Myanmar as noted from your responses in Takashi's interview. The question is, can he speak Burmese? I am Burmese myself but I was born in Tokyo, and lived in Washington DC and then LA for pretty much my entire life.

  46491. I can only say ..... wow...... I just recently found your channel. I very much enjoyed my times in Japan. It has only increased my curiosities.. Being Retired Army, My language skills in Japan are really only... Hello, Good bye, Thank you... excuse me, ... Beer please, and where is the toilet.. ... The latter being a very important one :) wow .... the haters..... The language they used is really over the top.. If you wish to critique, I think one should really look in the mirror first... Enough of the negative. Thank you for your time and work you put into your videos. I enjoy them, albeit a few since I am a new subscriber. (i'll catch up) I know you have tons of subs! so If you get to this one great.. if not ... No worries. I watch the Sumo matches every other Month.. My wife and I want to go to one sometime in the future.... Do you watch it ?... If so do you have any Favorites? Ours is Enho... Keep doing what you do. Congratulations on the engagement! ~Ed n Shantel from Tennessee.

  46493. Hello! I really enjoy watching your videos and am very impressed at your language skills. I have been studying the Japanese language, first trying to read and write while learning to speak basic words and phrases. I memorized most hiragana and katakana characters but it seems impossible to memorize kanji. Do you read and write Japanese also? Do you ever go to Fukuoka? I was born there in 1955 but only lived there for three years. My mom said when we came back to the US I mostly spoke Japanese...probably because I had spent most of my time with my Japanese nanny. It has been my dream to go to Fukuoka and find my nanny so I could thank her for taking care of me but it seems time has passed me by.

  46497. I started learning Japanese over a year ago. First i started with chinese, then added japanese after writing the HSK 2. I failed my first jlpt exam, but I loved japanese and wanted to learn more, just for media consumption (reading fluently was never a goal.) Well along the way I fell in love with korean fashion and tv, and started with that. A bit sad that Japanese is kind of dying out as a language. Beautiful culture, just wish the people were a bit more open to the rest of the world. I hardly get to use my japanese. Here in Germany chinese and korean are more useful, if looking to use the language in real life and not just for media consumption.

  46498. Meh, "angry people being angry" is such a tired trope. The only people who care what they have to say are other angry people. All they have to offer is their unsubstantiated opinions and angst about the world that is changing without their express permission.

  46499. I'm personally learning Japanese myself and it's such a fun language 👌🏽

I have taken to myself to learn at least a few words in like 10 languages to make them feel honored. Their eyes light up. I am fluent in English and Spanish. You can't imagine the relieve Spanish speaking guest have when I am able to help them in their Language. So I do not feel that your videos are annoying in any way. For me you are an inspiration . Haters will hate and envy is what they feel. Just ignore them

  46538. I studied Thai for 3 months in the US before going there in the 1980’s, and was staying in a small town. The reactions to my barely functional Thai were both surprised and kind, people were just happy I was trying. But the usual reaction “Pud Thai geng!” meaning “Wow you speak Thai so great!” was... ah, heh, being kind. (Haha, thanks, i know my Thai sucks, thank you for speaking very slowly :D ) ... making the effort made all the difference though in connecting with people and appreciating the culture.

  46539. People who criticized others are insecure, low self esteem, feel that putting people down empowers themselves, makes them feel better about themselves. The world would be a better place without negative people! We should tell them exactly that!!!

  46540. I had to unfollow at least one YouTuber in the past. After some time, I just remember thinking, “this person is a fraud.” They called themselves a polyglot, advertised language coach services, they had several sponsored videos. I think they only spoke 2 languages to fluency and the other 5 languages were at A1-A2. Maybe they’ve improved since then, I haven’t been back to see.

  46543. In a continent where most countries are <10million people you grow up to speak 2-3 languages at least. Your mothertounge, necessarily English and at least one more on a minor level because the average European is close to at least one border.
    1
  46544. I can’t even imagine being able to speak another language especially chinese or Japanese. Can they (Chinese or Japanese) hear an accent when you speak? Like when someone from another country learns English but you can hear their accent. If that makes sense.

  46558. This was a really insightful vid! Thank you! I watch a lot of language videos on YT and a couple of YouTubers definitely fit into multiple areas which you mentioned (one in particular... no name drop though! :) ). Many times I've watched them and thought that something doesn't quite make sense or thought that they are hiding the whole truth. I've learned a few languages in my past but these days I just financially can't (shout out to all the single parents out there!) and I don't find the free apps suitable for my kind of learning. I learned Spanish and French at school but that didn't stick because I didn't use it, I speak some Swedish after having lived there for a few years but even after going to adult school to learn I am nowhere near fluent (I do still use it a little even though I'm no longer there or with my now ex-partner who was Swedish), and I've tried to learn other languages using various apps. Having had my own experiences with learning languages, some of these YouTubers and their extravagant claims make me feel sorry for people who think that learning a language could be as easy as they make out. Having said that, many of these kinds of YouTubers (and the more "above board" tubers like you, Anming, and Stuart) do continue to spur me on in my love of languages and have made me realise that I'd absolutely love to learn an Asian or Indian language if I got the opportunity.

  46567. Well that was a roller Coster of a video An Ming. With the lighthearted restaurant visit in the beginning (are Japanese noodles always eaten cold?) and the funny cave adventure at the end (now you know why spelunkers wear helmets to work...),. But in the middle of these two parts there was the towns haunting tsunami story (very well edited by the way), all in all a very good video. However I still like watching your visits to Chinatown and your interactions there with the expat Chinese. They are maybe more simple and not as fun for you to make, but they are very charming in my eyes. BTW, Have you had any word as to when you can return to China yet?

  46578. This kind of reminds me of people who want to loose weight but they don't want to change exercise or change their eating habits or anything like that. They want to be able to take a diet pill and just resume their life styles. Instant weight loss by taking a pill. It's like language learning by downloading an app.

  46612. Fun fact, there are only two eye colours not counting albino types which would be a lack of colour. In terms of genetics you can have the genetics for brown eyes or the genetics of blue eyes, most people nowadays have a mix of the two. Green eyes come from a small mix of brown into a blue eye, hazel would be a small mix of blue into a brown eye. All of my siblings have brown hair - brown eyes but I take after my moms side more and have blonde hair and bluey-greeny eyes. My moms eyes were greener than mine so I guess I got just a little of my dads colour.

  46615. Hi Anming! I just wanted to say thank you!! I know this isn't related to Japanese or Chinese but I have been studying Korean for almost 2 years now and I admit, I'm not very good at all. I've been very scared of speaking in the language. I now live in Korea and I REALLY want to be able to get out there and speak just as you can with Japanese and Chinese. I feel so much more motivated from watching your videos and know with hard work comes reward. I hope one day I can be just as confident as you with my Korean! :)

  46634. Overtime is not necessarily the norm in small IT companies in Japan. I worked for a small company in Shibuya for nearly 2 years but didn't work much overtime. Sure, some Japanese people did voluntarily work longer but I didn't feel much pressure. I was the first foreigner to work there and did my job interviews in Japanese, so there was not much foreign influence in company to cause the difference in culture. My Japanese husband worked for another small IT company in Tokyo and didn't work overtime either. In the end we moved to Europe for higher pay, more days off and free high-quality daycare for our son. Career options are also limited for foreigners in Japan. Like how many CTOs of IT companies don't speak Japanese in Japan? It must be near zero. Overtime work actually increased for us after the move.

  46651. Love Japan culture - very formal initially but more relaxed after a while and always respectful, sometimes Westerners can't handle it - watching Japanese children in school tells you so much about the culture.

  46705. I love how so many people when talking about learning Japanese in the end all say, "just do it" and i guess that's the general consensus, if you really want to learn do it, at some point you need to stop watching so many videos on if I should, how should it, etc. and just jump in and start doing it. I think many people spend so much time figuring out how to learn it, which apps to use, which websites to use, which channels to watch but in the end you just need to start doing it, pick something and begin, over time you'll find ways to improve or refine your learning later but most important part is actually putting in the time everyday just learning.
    1
  46706. Hi, thank you for the inspiration. I am just learning German which is language of my neighbors and it’s definitely much easier than Chinese and Japanese, but the principal is same: speak a lot. It’s a best way and best fun. And without starting of speaking, one will never speak (hope it makes sense, English is obviously not my native language 😁). I wanna going to German this summer to try if I will survive only with German one or two weeks after almost one year since I started learning. Also wanna met in person my German teacher. We never met IRL, just on Skype. Have a nice day. Love this videos. 👍

  46717. How about teaching in junior or high school level? Kids are cute but can be hard to control them ..specially in a large group ..and also I think in Korea the kids classroom size is smaller and if its large ..normally they have 2 teachers in charge ..a main teacher and an assistant

  46718. Hi I love you so much

  46719. Thanks for these videos, I often thought Chinese people were cold and unfriendly but it's just because I don't understand the language. I speak conversational Japanese so I felt different about them, but this really opens people up when you speak their language! This store is very friendly.
    1
  46720. Good video, if I saw a mixed person or a foreign looking person in my school, work, or university! I would be intrigued and would want to be friends! I see people like that as unique and different! I see different as a good thing! Many people seem to have a very narrow minded view and aren't open minded at all! Come on, it's the 21st Centuary! Not the Medieval Times!

  46730. This video was so refreshing! I got a masters degree in linguistics years ago, got a minor in Arabic, and also studied Spanish, French, and Russian in high school and university. Arabic is my continuing passion years later, and I am still "intermediate." And that's fine! I can't fathom why people want to call themselves fluent in multiple languages when they only know some basics. That isn't personally satisfying to me. Yes, I have great curiosity about languages (hence, the MA in linguistics), but dabbling in a language out of curiosity definitely isn't fluency in the language in my opinion. Yes, I am fascinated by the all the things humans languages do that is completely different from other languages (whether Chechen, Navajo, or other more rare languages), but I will keep pushing my way through Arabic (MSA and various dialects) without any naive expectations that I'll become fluent in other languages. I also don't know why people try learning multiple languages from different language families simultaneously, unless you already have a good foundation in them. Being a jack of all trades but master of none just doesn't appeal to me.

  46732. I'm a German, living next to the Dutch border. In school I learnt German (13 years), English (9years), Latin (4.5 years - Great Latinum), Frensh (2 years). I also understand Dutch very well. I also studied 3 semesters of ancient Greek. Well; this is normal for a well educated person in Germany! People in the Hetherlands or Belgium learn even more languages! Even "low educated" persons in Germany learn German and English.
    1
  46733. Good point, even if I don't agree with every language advice that you give, but that's totally okay. I prefer Tandem over HelloTalk though
    1
  46734. Yeah. That's the reason I don't like language videos anymore. When I was a kid I was into this so deep but recognised that it is mostly fake. I even can see this when I look at myself speaking English, which isn't my first language. Some things are really hard to translate into English when you wanna go deeper in your conversation. But I also recognised that this is the case in book translations (books translated German to English or vise versa). Thanks for your video. 😅🌹

  46746. That Japanese girl really doesn’t have much excuse to whine how difficult learning Chinese would be for her at least to you. Japanese people have the biggest head start among all other foreigners because they come equipped with familiarity of hanzi, even though Japanese and Chinese forms are somewhat different.

  46753. This is a great glimpse into English teacher life in Japan. It's an interesting dynamic between the kids and the teacher. I never thought of it as you'd have to be entertainment to the students as well as teaching and pretend not to know any Japanese. The students really enjoyed you being their English teacher with their goodbye and the kind gifts they gave to you. 💜

  46754. Hey. I've recently subscribed to your channel, and I must admit I find the kind of videos where you prank Chinese with your Mandarin quite enjoyable, and lately I've been thinking of learning some Mandarin myself. While I realize mastering it to a degree you have requires am amount of effort I currently can't afford, I'd be happy to be able to communicate on a basic level. Any tips for a complete noob (but who is not strange to learning foreign languages)?

  46792. Hello OP, I don’t comment often on your videos. I typically just sit back and just enjoy but the topic was interesting because I have developed an interest in these types of videos on YT. For an average Joe who only speaks 1 language I watch probably at a lower level than you because I just like seeing the exchanges and the reactions. It’s entertaining but I suppose for you it’s deeper. It’s a “polyglot community” you are trying to uphold a certain level of integrity. So I guess it depends on your point of view. As ob1 kenobi said in ROTJ “many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view.” At first I thought perhaps you were hatin’ on the money angle but I believe I was incorrect and you want to keep your community clean and legitimate!

  46793. This is the boldest YouTuber I have ever seen. You may disagree with this video, but you've gotta admit it. Let somebody try and put other YouTubers in their video... They would be in for it! But that doesn't seem to bother her. For that I can give applause. I still have my reservations about the clickbait title thing, but who cares, I still watch those videos. It's mainly for entertainment and motivation.

  46794. This video was really interesting, I have wondered about people's reactions! I think these types of videos are really fun, thank you very much :)

  46795. Learn...not one but two completely new languages. At...not a nearby place but universities in not one but two countries on the other side of the world. With...no companions just a lone female. This combo would instil fear in many but not our Anming! :D

  46797. This is what I'm super worried about. I'm a picky eater. And I mean picky eater. Like, no ketchup, mustard, bbq, mayo, ranch, salad, veggies, pickles, fish, etc. My dream is to move to Japan but I'm worried I won't like anything :(

  46822. Your perfect just the way you are!!
    1
  46823. Uhhhhh...what the heck? I have actually never heard this. I watch a lot of polyglot channels and it has inspired me to learn the language I've always wanted to learn. It is normal for people to see a European speaking Chinese and think "wow! That's amazing" I do not think it is racist, nor do I think it is furthering "colonialism" or such.
    1
  46824. It is cool, but I couldn’t do it. It made me a little nauseous watching it.
    1
  46825. You are so cool and such an inspiration! I know how to read and write Spanish but I get so intimidated to speak it. You have inspired me to not be afraid. I also want to learn French because it is my heritage and Italian because the languages are related. I’ve followed you for three years and am so impressed with the strides that you have made in these three languages. You are amazing and a beautiful soul.

    1
  46830. The fact that I can guess exactly one of the people you are talking about says it all😂
    1
  46831. Well I guess it depends on what someone considers to be a polyglot. If you count only languages that you can speak on a "C1 level" then I guess it really is rare that you'll find a lot of polyglots that have that level in most of the languages they claim - honestly including me. But you seem to be the kind of person who wants to dive all in and that's why you reached such high proficiency with Chinese. Like I would think my chinese is pretty good but I wouldn't have been able to cover such specific topics as your example with vocabulary that wouldn't naturally come up a lot if you just meet a friend for dinner or go for an activity outside together for which my chinese is actually sufficient. I consider a language to be fluent once you can socialize and make friends in that language like not just people you know but real friends. You basically called out the ones skipping over the reading / writing system of languages like Chinese as "cheaters" but again it depends on what one is interested in. I love this youtuber Ikenna for example who did skip the writing system entirely but his chinese is already pretty sociable to the extend I'd say he can actually claim to "speak the language" even thou he has such a strong accent (in his first music video I couldn't understand him honestly without the subs lol but afterwards he improved). I do thou think you also are not entirely wrong that there is too many who really just barely scratch on the surface and for them to sell it as if they are fluent for being able to do a self introduction is ridiculous.

  46837. Ill be happy if you learn Russian
    1
  46838. you can test yourself to avoid the fluency illusion but as you say it's a bit gresham's law - bad money drives out good. I've interpreted russian and subtitled japanese videos and the interpreting felt like carrying wet cement all day, - i was that tired afterward so I know i'm not that fluent in russian when i'm in a pressure situation, and whenever there was anything off for me (like a Kansai diaelct) my subtitles were pretty bad. But you're right that you don't get paid on youtube for questioning yourself the fluency N1-5 on JLPT or the CEFR are pretty obejctive (and daunting). other side of the coin my french is good now but when i lived in hungary a polish woman there who had learned french vocabulary but literally zero grammar in french was able to ask me for help with her bicycle and work on it with me, and my french was quite marginal. shallow conversational, maybe. so sometimes even a Pidgin language can help. "my boy child bicycle broke you help" - like that. if you want to make a Russian-learner cry have them read The Gulag Archipelago - author was an eccentric and refused to use Russian words after 1800 or so. you had to use "Dal's" dictionary to read it. it was like writing your novel in Middle Engilsh.

  46840. Nice video! Question: How many languages do you speak?
    1
  46841. Been told in the past by people that matter to me: " You ignore something, it'll go away" That can also be used in a negative context, but they were referring to people that try to get in your way. Just do the same & don't give in to the haters.

I have been wanting to go by middle name for some time now but have always felt weird introducing myself as something I've never gone by before. How was the transition for you in getting people to recognize you as Anming. Did your colleagues and bosses respect your wishes even though they knew your legal name? I plan to move to Japan in 2021 in hopes of finding a grad school I can weasel my way into but want to make the name switch before.

  46955. Why bother with Japanese? Let me quote one of the most important translators of Japanese here: "Were America to come to me and ask if it should learn Japanese, I would be tempted to reply: "America, if you have all that spare time, go learn French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian instead. You could learn them all in about the time it would take you to learn Japanese, and you would find richer rewards waiting at the end of the struggle than you would find after your conquest of Japanese". (Edward Seidensticker). The same sentiment (ie. why bother with Japanese) is also shared by David Zoppeti and Hideo Levi (both are writers in Japanese). If you have time read Ichigensan (,Zoppeti, The newcomer) and Seijouki no kikoenai heya (Levi, The room where the Star-Spangled Banner Cannot Be Heard).

  46956. Something I started noticing during covid and it's worse and worse, here in Brussels, I'm seeing more and more young homeless people, it's a mix of foreign ones, but I would actually say the majority are local homeless. I am not surprised to see so many homeless in Japan, I saw your previous videos, but it's not just that; I buy stuff directly from Japan because it's cheaper and the yen is doing bad and it's been going for awhile. I looked into this and it turns out that the economy isn't doing well and it's not new either. There's so much pressure to go to a good good, a good unviersity, but the salaries are pretty low, not extremely low, actually not too far from what people get paid here, but if you took the same degrees here, you would earn more. It's painfully clear how both Japanese education and the work culture are flawed. As for the Economy, Japan makes the big mistake of focussing only or mostly on Japan and not focus on the global market, while there is plenty of demand for many Japanese products.

  46967. The number 1 foreign national is Chinese so its no surprise then its Brazilian then its Korean then American.

  46968. Its easy to speak 4-5 languages actually. But usually it are people who's first language isn't English. For example Dutch people, it's high possible that they can speak; Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish also Latin. Because at some school we are trained and forced to speak those languages until a high enough level and usually we keep using those languages in our daily lifes too. I speak Dutch, English, German and bit of Japanese myself. But I wouldn't call Japanese my 4th language yet. But I am only really fluent in Dutch an German. Being able to be fluent... well you never will be true fluent if you don't learn it as a kid. You can know a lot if you grow up, but the true basic you learn from your parents and elementary school. If you grow up.. and start to learn a language you never learn a language the way how a kids do learn a language. But if your parents speak 2 or 3 languages a lot, you can turn into a polyglot easly. For example Your mother is Japanese your Dad is English and you live in Netherlands. If both speak their mother language also towards you, you learn 3 languages as a kid. However if you watch as a kid lots of tv shows for example Germany TV (from baby on). you will be able to speak 4 languages. and you will be able to learn a 5th or maybe 6th via school and if you keep it up you are able to speak 5-6 languages in your 20ties. But you never can really learn a language in only a few months.. to master a language you have to write/speak/listen a language almost everyday for hours.

  46977. As a person trying to build a life here in Japan as well, I can completely sympathize with your struggles when it comes to nasty comments from the most ignorant and overly-opinionated across societies.

  46984. 不过管主的普通话是真好，超过我认识的大多数蓝荒人。 至于岭南，我还没有认识过一个讲的比管主更好的。 在中国，我这个岁数的人，肯讲普通话就谢天谢地了，根本不敢评价对方的口音。
    1
  46985. I think the reason why they are triggered is because it eliminates their excuses of why they can't learn another language. The thing is most of these street videos are probably exaggerated while the rest are genuine. The main motivation should be to communicate with people

  46999. Learning Japanese is my goal & your videos of there give me the inspiration to get off my butt and do something about it - now I have 2 Japanese books that I will start with...! Living where I do, there are no Japanese speakers I can reach out to and finding a tutor has been impossible - I do think being able to use the language every day in some ways would progress my learning - but for now I will immerse in the books..! Keep the videos coming and I look forward to the Japanese Language one..!

  47006. 中文也会啊，牛逼 well I do speak Chinese Japanese and English but I never been any English speaking country so I don't speak English so good.but when I was in Japan ,people was usually not surprised I do speak 3 languages,maybe it because we are all Asian,and every Chinese speaks Japanese who lives Japan

  47012. I bet jumping out of a plane thousands of feet above does not seem so brave now does it?. Forget you Pearl, I went green when you put that natto into your gob I have read about natto and it sounds quite icky, though I am certain in Japan it is very palatable .

  47013. I will definitely go check out Yokahama Chinatown once the situation improves. I'm still cautious about going out and about. I will tell them Anming sent me..😀

  47014. Woah this is cool.

  47015. It's surprising that you try to respond to every single comment 🙈 what are you gonna do when you hit 10 million subscribers?
    1
  47016. How one learns to read Chinese and memorize 900 characters to read 90% of a newspaper is amazing! Not as efficient it seems as the Roman alphabet and unnecessarily complicated. You have to be determined to succeed. How many characters do you need to know to get by? At least we share Arabic numerals, or so it seems.

  47017. Can I hire you as my tour guild when I go visit Japan after the pandemic is over ?

  47023. I’m glad you are finding Yourself and becoming more comfortable and not worrying about what other Polyglots are doing. And yea, you see People are really surprised when someone that doesn’t look like them speaks their language. I stopped watching your channel for a while. But like I said, I am happy you are finding “Your” comfort-zone!! Best of luck and I hope “You make “Bank”” keep doing You!!!!

  47029. The word "Yankee" is complicated. People in the southern US might fight you if you call them Yankee. People from the Northeast are proud to be called Yankee. And those of us in the West are like, Huh? But the British call us Yanks, all of us, and often disparagingly. Yet, to simplify things I might tell a Brit I'm a Yank to ease communication (although I'm a Californian and I might say that). There also is/was a US Army newspaper called YANK, the other was Stars And Stripes.

  47046. The faygo, Frankenmuth and Michigan apples... I've been to MI atleast a dozen times and have yet to even try those things but hear about how amazing they are. He really got to experience a good amount in five days. My grandpa transported vehicles from the south up there and that's where he met my grandmother from Royal Oaks. He ate a diner called Country Boy off 9mile and my mom and I got to track it down and eat there ourselves. The summer time with the breeze from the lakes is something to experience, hope Tommy sees it again soon when it's warm.

  47059. And I think that the polyglots on youtube are just like a big freak show .Cause they all want to be that guy who speaks as much languages as it is possible to do.Without even really properly learn them and be legit in.Some o the youtubers just forgot what the passion is .

  47060. Shoutout tommy hes even got me hyped lol...take him to vegas or ny next
    1
  47061. That’s actually a good metaphor. I remember when I started learning Chinese and only later I realized how complex and hard it was I thought of a mountain, and it occurred to me I was just “scratching” its surface... we can take heart| inspiration from the famous Chinese story 愚公移山

  47062. You are very beautiful and amazing

  47076. It was really nice to see you and Tommy again. As well as his parents, they seem to have really welcomed you into the family. So that's awesome to see you all together again in a video like this. Parents roasting their kids is always funny lol. 🫶🏽

  47078. @Oriental Pearl I'm a Catholic and I'm a fan of both your channels! You guys do amazing work. I love languages and cultures. I learn so much from your videos 🤗❤ God Bless! Is there any way we can help the Catholic Church in China? Even something like donations. I would love to hear about how the underground church community is doing. I feel bad for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year! 🥳❤

  47085. Hi, what is your opinion on the best app for language learning? Or do you think to avoid them and learn the mother tongue way?
    1
  47086. you linked so many people, but who is tommy.. he seems so nice
    1
  47087. I've passed HSK6 (223分) after 32 months of studying, so 3 years isn't the fastest haha But it really isn't about the exam, and there are no special tricks to learn a language rather than just working your ass out. Good job, keep it up! (:

  47095. Loving your videos. I went to Japan 20 yrs ago approx for a vaccation of exploration staying with a fellow western (English) friend who had a Japanese wife, and he was president of a book publishing company called RIC Publications and taught Engilsh at weekends at a Tokyo school. I really enjoyed Tokyo, Nagoya & Kyoto. I aim to go back one day, so I find your videos very valuable and and enjoyable thanks 🙏

  47100. Can I ask how much language you learned I'm learning Japanese and Latin currently.
    1
  47101. I don't think I've ever gotten anything free for speaking English in the States.....just kidding! Northeastern Chinese folks really seem like some of the friendliest people in the world. Thanks again for a great video!
    1
  47102. Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s awful that people have so much negative energy to express. It’s easy for this crap to be hurtful, too. Not everyone has a thick skin and I wish people would remember that.

  47111. Please teach me your ways because I've been trying to do Chinese and Japanese for the past few years now and I really need some help on it and I don't know if I'm pronouncing the word right or am I doing wrong and I've been watching your videos and they really do shock me of how you do it very fluently and I wish I could do the same 🙏🥺
    1
  47112. Also, thank you for the video. Be safe out there, ya?
    1
  47113. Thank you for the videos. I worked with vulnerable adults and it was always a big no no recording or touching them, but I feel that such restrictions prevent the strengthening of relationships from forming, which could have improved both the ability to teach and be taught concerning both parties.

  47114. I love Andre please bring him back on the channel!

  47115. wow this was qualty content! thanks!..

  47116. my only complain is that some people posting the videos make it seem they claim to have a higher level than they actually have. the so called clickbait titles. sometimes the people itself behave clickbaity in the video. and that wastes my time
    1
  47117. Hello Pearl you brought your husband to our hometown? You were definitely in the right place, and yes people don't realize how big Detroit is in square miles. Welcome home pearl sorry i missed you. Did he wish he was back in Japan? Good experience for him. yes things are looking up . Get me your Mom's phone number if she single 😊

  47118. This is entertaining

  47119. Love watching your videos, and wish I had your level of fluency in Japanese (or Mandarin). I had an excellent trip in Japan in 2019 traveling from Tokyo to Hiroshima and back; very much enjoyed my time in Japan and looking forward to going back. I’m sure you’re aware, but Japan also has an excellent rock and metal scene, and the bands are mostly all-female. Some of my favorite bands in that category are Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Bridear, Scandal, Aldious, Hanabie, Gacharic Spin, BRATS, and Tricot, to name a few. They all have music videos on YouTube…

  47120. Thanks!

  47122. I like to escape to YouTubes oldies channels and listen to the music of the 50s and early 60s. Some of them have slide shows of old cars and hot rods which we did back then.

  47123. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR WEDDING WITH US ! I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU AND TOMMY, YOUR WEDDING WAS BEAUTIFUL...

I Enjoy your videos Very Much! Congrats and Best wishes to the both of you!!!

  47126. Thanks for doing this experiment. The YT channels that show native Asians or others always shocked that a white or black American can speak their language very well seemed totally fake to me. At one time, the average person could not afford international travel and the internet did not exist. That was well over 20 years ago.

  47139. Yet another great video thanks Anming! I can't speak for all of Canada, but for me and from what I've seen around me, if there is someone who speaks English really well we just assume that person is born here. But if there is someone who has a thick accent and is kind of struggling with their English, we do tend to compliment them and tell them their English is really good. So I don't think its really strange that Japanese people do this.

  47156. In my case, some people think I'm Italian & if I go to a store in a mostly Hispanic neighborhood they'll start talking to me in English & when I start speaking Spanish they say, oh you speak Spanish? A cashier at a McDonald's asked what I wanted & I noticed she had a heavy Spanish accent & when I responded in Spanish she was like que tu hablas Espanol (you speak Spanish?) I just smile & have fun with it! It's actually a nice surprise to them that you speak their language, I luv it... Btw your Chinese accent is so sweet! Keep up the great video's, it's really fun seeing the reaction of the locals!

  47159. Aha hearing the taiwanese accents in japan, as well as your friend. I really miss taiwan—cant go back because of the thing. Taiwanese people love japan lol Idk about me, i grew up in shanghai, but i did visit around kyoto before the thing and it was a very lovely and peaceful place. Best i can describe it is that feeling of getting dragged to the airport during winter break. Mostly because it was cold and i didnt sleep very well.

  47162. Pearl is definitely a legit trilingual person!!! Speaking of fake polyglots, I was intrigued by this famous Dutch dude's videos long ago... then after a few videos, I stopped following.... he was simply sticking to the usual few phrases for each language... what is the point?? To be called fluent, you are supposed to carry out a real conversation at any time, about anything in life that's not remotely technical!! So, hats off to you girl!!!

  47190. I just bought a lesson from Udemy. It is just a hobby for me at this point. But I really enjoy listening japanese and and Chinese speaking. I think it would be cool to speak one day. To me Japanese is a bit easier because pronunciation is and grammer is similar to my native language. Thanks for the video. 👍
    1
  47191. I speak Hungarian and English on a native level and i can converse in German and Spanish but that’s not being a polyglot. Almost anyone can claim to be a polyglot nowadays who can speak a language on an intermediate level for a few minutes smoothly and it’s a lie.

  47192. You pick some great beats! 🥰🤘

  47193. I'm so jealous. But in a good way... id love to learn another language!!! And live in another country

  47194. Try to teach Japanese in ZhuYin and it is more similar with Hiragana and Katakana. If you use Hanyu Pinyin, many Japanese will get confuse with Romanji. Same as teaching to Americans.

  47215. Hiii I am a new subscriber I admire you very much and I know this is totally off topic but in the future, I would like to study in Japan. I was wondering if you could give me a little explanation on how you were able to study in China. Did you get scholarships or part time job? I would be so excited if you replied back. Love your videos!❤️

  47218. my first thought when i read the tittle was , they say you are proficient within the context of who you are. Americans are not known for speaking a second language , especially Japanese .Now, thats not to say you aren't good , because you certainly are , but maybe your motivation for wanting to be better is just to be better and not because you NEED to be better for a job or a relationship or whatever . I think you want to be better just because you want to be better , or   i could be waay off base on that . Certainly none of us that watch your videos would know the difference ,,,, so ?  I mostly watch your videos because of your captivating personality and ,,,

  47221. This was one of the sweetest videos I've seen dealing with being a foreigner in an Asian country. Kids are so pure and innocent. I've never had a child be down right mean since I was in Korea. Some will point because they haven't seen a foreigner before, but that doesn't bother me any.
    1
  47222. It would be really awesome if you were able to somehow hear yourself the way a native speaker would to know how you REALLY sound :) otherwise you never know for sure. At least thats what I think about when practicing Chinese. Like, for example, no matter how good someone's English may be there's always at least that tiny little give away like an accent or some word pronounced just different enough or not exactly right or pronounced in just such a way to know that English isn't their native language. Doesn't matter at all of course, just interesting

  47241. This makes sense. Now I can separate the worry that I suck compared to them and instead, be inspired that being ballsy enough to communicate with people is possible. I'd be very happy to have a simple convo or transaction while traveling.

  47245. I can't for the life of me remember his name at the moment (edit: George...duh, I knew that), but LearnJapaneseFromZero is phenomenal, and definitely the real deal. I have learned perhaps even more from him than native speakers I've seen on Youtube. I wish you would do more actual lesson videos but as this video discusses, I know your usual audience typically wants to see the street reactions.

  47264. I hope you can make more videos where you speak Chinese. I just learned slowly by watching vlogs and movies and looking up when I didn’t understand. Practicing sometimes with a friend eventually did one lesson a week with a person from my Church willing to teach me. Now I understand most of conversation regarding different topics as long as it’s not too advanced. I can be understood to a certain degree as well. I’m nowhere near good but it’s good enough which is really cool since I feel like I haven’t given it any effort at all 😂I’m not a good example but I just want people to know that you can get to a reasonable level without shedding blood sweat and tears and have some fun with it too, because the general impression seems to be like Chinese is impossible to learn but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Oh I also found a penpal from China which helps, and is very very interesting.

  47265. I honestly think that I know only one language - Russian, cause it's my native language. I understand English perfectly, when people speak or write in English, I understand every word. But I can't speak English, I can't write English. Because I have no practice, I don't have a single English-speaking friend, I was only once abroad for 6 days, and it was not even an English-speaking country. And I've been learning English since I was 7, now I'm 25. I still don't know it, cause I can't practice. It makes me sad :(
    1
  47266. Nice one as usual! Good thing you did there with the subtitles. I think you could improve them even more, currently the font seems too large (looks like size 48?) and therefore the eyes have to move a lot to read everything. A font size of 28 should be large enough and actually make it easier to read. You could also check if there's a light grey background available for the text, you know, a bit like what Youtube does with their subtitles. But light enough that you can still see the video through it. Anyway, i'm highly enjoying your videos! :) Shame that so many people wear face masks now. Especially since it's not supposed to help much. After 20 minutes the mask is damp from the humidity of the breath, and a virus can pass through. It only helps in the way that you can't touch your face that well anymore. Here in Germany, people wearing masks are still a rarity. But you never know, this virus makes people become slightly irrational. Last week people cleared out the stores of toilet paper and nonperishable food like canned food. Everyone stocked up. They call it "Hamsterkauf" (hamster purchase), like a hamster stuffing its cheeks full of nuts :)

  47267. "YouTube algorithm has gathered us once again" Exactly! And I'm subscribing😉

  47268. Good discussion, my thought 1. Unfortunately, it is uncommon for people from other countries to learn a foreign language. Heck, it is uncommon even in Asia, for example, Chinese to learn Korean/Vietnamese/Japanese. Let alone people from other parts of the world? However, I do see that nowadays there are more and more people learning a foreign language, but it will never be as popular as English. So statements like "No one is surprised I speak English" is kind of irrelevant in my opinion. 2. People are surprised you speak Chinese and Japanese because in the eastern part of the world. People are commonly under the impression that westerner do not speak their language. Could be a common demeanor that westerners usually do not speak, or want to speak another language other than English/Spanish/French, or could be due to world war 2 influence where eastern countries were previously colonized by Westerners. However, I do see a changing trend in the US where more schools are teaching Chinese. This is something that most eastern countries didn't know, perhaps over time, more will catch-on. 3. To comments about easterners always think you're "Clueless, Stupid American". Well, try living in a country where you are constantly being undermined and tell you to "go back to your country", there I have said it 😀. I guess in my opinion there are and always will be these ignorant people in the world in general, doesn't matter where you are. You just gotta ignore them.

  47269. I cracked up at how you casually pushed that guy's subscribe button 😂😂😂

  47270. It makes sense to say it's good as encouragement to someone learning. I would probably understand it to mean they're happy I'm interested and trying to learn. Turned around, I would probably do the same thing because I would be excited someone from another country is working hard to learn my language.

I really appreciate that you are speaking the language you are claiming you can speak; even though I've been a sub for a while and know your amazing talents it proves you know what you're doing and so you deserve a lot of credit compared to these fake polyglot YouTubers (which you also covered in another vid)

  47307. Hello Anming, thanks for the video! I found your channel out yesterday and then I couldn't help spend a few hours watching your videos. You have a great, charming personality and is very entertaining. I want, however, to comment on your advice. I have been looking into a method to study languages called Mass Immersion Approach, have you heard about it? It was based on another method called All Japanese All The Time, anyway. I understand you value professional help when learning a language. I agree that having the commitment to study a language for several hours everyday for years is really hard to develop and having an appointment, alongside a person motivating you along the way helps a lot in developing said commitment. However, I do not believe this is really necessary as my personal experience shows. I am Brazilian and I have no one in my family that taught me English. I have reached a fluent level of the language by just consuming a huge amount of content in English, like watching shows, videos and playing games, including online games that required me to use the language to communicate with other players. So, I believe interaction with the language, especially immersion, is the way to learn it. I am sure you will agree somewhat with that, since you mentioned it in your video. Anyway, I just wanted to comment that because you may not be familiar with this method and maybe it could help you in some way. I hope I didn't sound rude since it was not my intention. Have good one :)

  47309. As much as I enjoy your foreigner language reaction videos (and I do..I'd love to see videos of you doing the same in China/Japan town here in the US)...I think you should do some new music reaction videos too ("come on, come on, come on, yeah!...I don't know this song")....now that gave me a laugh!
    1
  47310. i as an american, watching your videos, and im no expert here, i speak no languages, but i feel inspired watching your videos. i feel the need to learn, i feel that you have showed us a universal travel and language. I also feel that there is a sense of jealousy on something that not all can do, without the commitment of studying for years. I am sure you have people that surely are surprised and admire you. The chinese culture is challenging, right? the culture is very strict on learning. so anything out of range can be uncomfortable, right? The funny thing is, it takes such a sense of strong self esteem and at the same time, a vulnerability that you put out there. your a gift, as all people who speak another language and polyglots are, and show the world that we can be diverse, and most importantly, not to judge based on race or nationality. Thank you.....

  47312. Hi Oreintal Pearl. I am from New York city and just discovered your channel 3 days ago. I have watched over 100 of your videos in the last 3 days. I love watching all of your videos and especially the ones where you prank people by speaking perfect Mandarin. I studied Mandarin in college for a couple of semesters but if I went to Chinatown to prank people nobody will be impressed by my awful Mandarin.
    1
  47313. I enjoyed the way you used different colors for the dialogue. I kindof figured that responding thank you someone's compliment. It was flattering at first, then I realized by watching various videos that they always say that. Now I have to learn a proper response or two.... Take care🙂

  47314. I do enjoy watching your "on the streets talking the language" videos, but this was a great window into Japanese business. I really enjoyed it.

  47353. Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm curious. I notice when you speak Japanese your voice often seems to become softer and, dare I say, a little more melodious. Is this the structure of the language itself, or just conforming to the way most Japanese speak in certain situations?
    1
  47354. Congratulations 🎉😊

  47359. It's interesting how many chinese pronouce Dui as Dei, sounding like Day, though the official pronunciation is like dway. Laziness I guess. It's such a common response, meaning 'correct' or I agree, which is stated as Wo Tong Yi... meaning I agree. For those wanting to understand more chinese, the opposite is Wo bu ming bai, I not understand. Also Wo bu tong yi, similar meaning.

  47363. I am a Spanish and English speaker that started watching this youtube polyglot channels and what Matt mentions regarding they can influence you to start learning new languages is important and did hear them say you can learn 4 or 5 languages at once, so I started learning German, French, Italian, Japanese and kind of Chinese with Duolingo, but was getting nowhere, then it kind of clicks in you, wait well their spanish wasn't that good (because I am fluent in spanish) maybe the rest of the languages arent that good either, so then I started just focusing on French and getting actual paid classes for French, focusing on creating flash cards, listening to french songs and it starts making more sense than learning all of these languages at once. Hey maybe there are people than can learn multiple languages at once but not I, don't have time for a full commitment on all of them and I imagine a lot of people can't either.

Love it!

  47388. The takeaway from this to me is that if you want to go outside of the BIG Japanese cities that may have a lot of english speaking people, you might want to be more fluent or at least be able to understand more Japanese.

  47389. I can't wait to see the video of you guys shooting guns!

  47395. what a Fucking Awesome video.
    1
  47396. It's a more global issue, I think. We're not dumb enough to think that the claim "X speaks 12 langages" in a video means that this person is a polygot. But it just describes the content of the video, even if the person says 12 random sentences in each langage. The issue is that we live in the era of infopreneurship and social media, so these people will have a content for sell, and it's just marketing. Same thing for those who want to help you start a business, lose weight, etc. Most of them are dream sellers. And when you feel crapy, alone or if you have a lack of confidence, you'll end up buying things outside to help you feel better. I don't think there's a "problem in the polyglot community of YouTube. There are attention/recognition seekers, entertainers and langages enthousiasts and... Youtubers. To each his own.

  47403. 中国有很好的文化，这并不是中国人在自己吹捧自己！中国的文化包容性很好，他并不排斥所有的文化，存在就是合理的，多元性的！只是中国有一个不好的组织，想要摧毁自己的国家的文化，想要让民众成为无神论，只是去崇拜那个组织，从而更容易控制洗脑民众以便达到他们自己的邪恶目的！现在的中国已经丧失了优秀的传统文化（也包括很多神秘文化），而保留了不好的传统文化，现在的中国人已经变得很自我，觉醒的人很少数！而且网上有很多禁止发布这种揭穿真相言论的审查，政府就是这样黑暗，民众是政府玩偶，不知其中的阴谋，但是总有一天这种黑暗的阴谋会被揭穿

  47414. I've been watching a few language channels for years now and have just come across yours. It's quickly become one of my favourites. If you can speak Cantonese as well you'll feel at home here in Vancouver (More Mandarin speakers coming the last 10 years though). I agree, people are people. A few take politics as a key identity trait but most people are amiable.

  47415. This was fun to watch, cool post. 👍

  47416. i think even myself if i see someone like that i'd be amazed just thinking how much years and ages it would take to learn another language new to you it's not so easy for some people to learn so yeah i doubt you will still hear that alot and just need to get used to it atleast.

  47428. Something I've learned in these short 49, is that if you have time to criticize someone else's abilities, it must be that you're not paying enough attention to your life and how to develop your own abilities. That is the saddest way to waste your precious lifetime. Keep doing what you do, and Improve even more... not to shut them up, but for your own enjoyment. Haters + Bullies = slime in the pits of the underworld.

  47430. while i dont expect it to be perfect,cant we say the same for the japanese too? japan is not some small or third world country who dosent need english. it is one of the big players in the global economy and with english being the (current) world language and the international language of commerce and trade, shouldnt they at least be able to hold a decent,extended and somewhat detailed conversation, especially in places where they expect to get tourists (as mentioned by the 1st girl selling soap) even if semi- frequently?

  47434. I’ve long held the notion that some channels are “faking” their language proficiency and as someone who studies language and has a familial background of doing such, it is simply these people’s ability to do well in their certain niche of the language they choose to appear fluent in that makes them seem as such. For example, most americans probably couldn’t hold an hour long conversation in quantum relativity theory, but that’s not to say they aren’t fluent. In the same vein, I can talk on general topics in Japanese, but when it comes to the finer minutiae of things it quickly becomes apartment that I’m not fluent. I’m glad you all are shedding this light on these channels though as it irks me as someone who has spent countless hours locked away in my room studying to see someone else proclaim their proficiency in 25+ languages when they are actually just good at a handful and tack on simple phrases in more obscure languages. It’s a different skill entirely!

  47443. In my experience and from what others told me, I think some really do mean it while others are being nice and don't want to offend you. I think your friend Tommy is fairly spot on with the many empty compliments thing. It takes time to really get to know a Japanese person. It again ties into that real/facade thinking that Japanese say. :D

  47449. When I was stationed in Germany I got a haircut and the German lady asked me "What do you call a person that speaks two languages?" I said, "Bi-lingual." She said, "What do you call a person that speaks three languages?". I said, "Tri-lingual?". She then asked, "What do you call a person that speaks one language?". I said, "Single-lingual?". She said, "No. American.." I told her that can be true to a certain point because the first thing out of most soldiers' mouths were "Do you speak English?" I study Deutch 101 through Univ. of Maryland while stationed in Germany just so I could at least ask for directions, order food, read signs, etc. Enough to get around and see the country while there for a couple of years. I did the same thing in Korea. Learned enough Hongul to get around. It also helped that I hung with another soldier that spoke fluent Hongul but couldn't read it. So I would read it and he would translate. Win win. Twenty three years later and I still remember some of it.

Though I haven't been in a while. If I went now, I'd probably get black sesame paste, assuming that they have it. Maybe what I've actually been eating is Daifuku, but sold at a Manju shop?

  47485. People are jealous. Most people can actually be polyglots but are just too darn lazy or take great pride in their know nothing anti intellectual attitudes. Most people who attack polyglots online are just jealous and envious. Its also because it reflects negatively upon their failure to excel in doing more in their own lives, not just in terms of speaking more languages, but in hobbies, etc.

  47491. I am a fan of Phoenix Suns ! Steve Nash 13# . ❤️ PS. 我其实也能理解主持人让你自我介绍的用心，节目效果就是让你一张嘴就用流利的中文给观众一个惊喜！！假如主持人简单介绍说，安明一个来自亚利桑那州的美国女孩！观众first impression 可能会不感兴趣。所以，不用因为这件事而难过！❤️

  47493. I've been learning Chinese here in Yangzhou for two years and I study quite often. I had been studying by myself for maybe like 18 months and then I started studying online with a teacher. I've had some setbacks, but I still have a lot of hours put in and i have to say, I've only been able to achieve something in between HSK 4 and 5. In gaging my own level in Chinese I would say that HSK 5 to HSK 6 might be something on the CEFL scale like a B2. That is what it is on paper, in an academic setting. In real life, You cannot watch or read anything at a native level comfortably at all, and with that said, there are local dialects and accents that influence how people talk. (This is especially the case in Hong Kong and Guangdong provinces, among others.) I must say, I'm nowhere near as good as this Oriental Pearl individual in Chinese but I can still listen to Benny the Irish "Polyglot" speak Chinese and have it make me cringe. Maybe the video I saw was old, but it just brought a tear to my eye. Right now, there is a new HSK 3.0 that is far more difficult and comprehensive than the current HSK course and it will be rolled out in the world over the next few years. Not only will the course have in some cases double the words, but there are an additional 3 levels (capping out at HSK 9) and last I checked, there will be a total of around 11,000 words just in those three levels. Any moron who says that you can learn Chinese in three months (or even a year, really) to a "fluent" level is a (excuse me for this one) a ***** jackass. I'm really, to be quite honest, tired of people claiming to be fluent but they can say like a total of 1,000 words and they butcher the pronounciation and then say that they are fluent. It's insulting to those of us who HAVE SACRIFICED EVERYTHING to move abroad and live in another culture and put our livelihoods on the line, and like Oriental Pearl said, she made a video with advanced Japanese and it got almost no views. Get that? Most people only dabble, and the best that people will acheive on average is B2. This is fine, and it's good, but if you give a monoligual person the impression that you are a near native speaker (C1-C2) you are a FRAUD. One last thing. Remember that a test really doesn't mean anything. People can cram for a test and then go in and speak pretty well, and then six months after they finished milking their content for ad revenue, they switch languages for more views. In the meanwhile, they've forgotten the material six months after they crammed. It's asanine. A true polyglot MASTERS a few languages (at a C1-C2) and has several others at high intermediate level (at a B2 or above). If you are in the polyglot game, be the real deal. I want to see more bilingual and trilingual people that actually can communicate themselves. There's so much more value to doing the work, taking a "lesser" title, and knowing who you are when you get up in the morning. Good luck everyone. Study hard and make some great connections! I wish you all the best in all of your endeavors. Love you all, James Skinner

  47495. My native language is dutch, 2nd is English but my accent is not very good and I have to think before I say something how do I get an American accent. I understand everything but I have problems with pronouncing words like bath. In my mind I sound American but when I speak out loud it doesn’t come out the way I want. What do I do?

  47512. I’m watching ur videos several months now. I love ur aura and I’m really impressed how u made to learn so much. My dream is to move in to China (Beijing) and become English teacher. Now I’m studying english. I need to pass 4 years more to have a bachelor degree. I can speak 4 language now. My Japanese is on a basic level but my Chinese is really bad now. Was it hard for you to change country that you’ve been living ? Did you have a problem with finding a job or an apartment? Do you know any company that help foreigners to start living in China ? Lots of love and kisses from cold Poland ❤️❤️❤️

  47528. GOING OVER A FEW THINGS SAID BY PEOPLE AT TH BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO 1. Do we really need these polyglots? Personally, I can't think of a reason why not, but suit yourself. Polyglots can help people gain the confidence of talking to people, and have the physical and mental strength to learn a language. Listening to a language frequently can actually improve your performance. Many people that speak Japanese learnt it from just watching anime. 2. I hate the polyglot videos a little. Don't know if this is a joke or not, but why do you not like them? I can't find anything wrong with the videos. They walk up to people and 'prank' them by speaking their language. I've done that a lot of times with Korean, and nobody's ever had any problems. 3. Polyglots are not encouraging people to study languages. They definitely are! How would you know for sure? You don't know everybody on the planet. It encouraged me to learn Korean. Just because it won't encourage you or the people you know, doesn't mean it won't encourage others. 4. They make me uncomfortable, for a lot of reasons. Uncomfortable? I mean, I can understand where you're coming from, but their intention isn't to make you feel uncomfortable, or confused. If you feel like that, I'm sure that they will understand. 5. E-Enough. Gosh, someone turned the stove on a little too high-

  47529. How do you learn languages?

  47532. I have already made my unpopular opinion known in another video just like this one, lol. People should be polite to guests in their country. To me, racist is an extremely tired word though.

  47533. The only word I understood was "Chugoku"

  47534. Other people: I want to study chinese and japanese so I can impress them one day with my skills. Me: I want to study chinese and japanese so I can watch this video without subtitles.

  47538. Congrats on the 1m subs! This kind of content reached another level! I understand your struggle, ratings, views, etc..like all media business platforms require good results. I am confident you will work It out. I like everything you do, but I know not everyone is like that. As a matter of fact, I really enjoyed your sponsor presentation, you kept it interesting enough to want to hear about the product! Dang! How rare is that! HA

  47541. I personally love these videos. In my experience people are very appreciative when you try to learn their language and culture. I always say that "I can get by in a few languages, but I'm always learning more." My strongest languages are English, German, Spanish, and French. My Scottish Gaelic and Swedish are fair, and then I speak a few words in Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, Irish, Welsh, Finnish, Russian, Greek, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Icelandic, Latin, and maybe a few more. I was born in Arkansas and wasn't exposed to other languages there, other than listening to a short wave radio that my grandma's best friend gave me. I moved to Houston, Texas when I was 12 and started hearing SO MANY LANGUAGES!!😊 In my opinion, these videos (and learning languages in general) are so much fun! I have favorites (Langfocus, Julingo and more). Personally, I think it's all about having FUN and there's no imaginary finish line I have to cross with fluency, but I do respect other people, and I think that is so much of what learning languages and cultures is about. Keep up the good work!😉

  47543. There are so many borrowed words from English in modern Japanese! But yeah they use them differently or have a different pronunciation so it's almost like learning a new language in itself. Packaging seems like a fascination, not just in the products themselves but when I order shit online it always comes in a fortress of boxes and packaging, back home I'd be lucky to get it in some flimsy cardboard and usually just a random bubble mailer. It's mad opening a bar of chocolate to find more packaging inside and then the chocolate is already in individual pieces. I remember when the Rugby was on they removed some of the more problematic books from the shelves in these book stores lol. Just little notes on the shelves saying they'll be put back out after all the Rugby fans go home like a week after it finished. Also where I'm from you'd never get a person in a hair salon inspect their own work and fawn over it lol. It's pretty normal in the Japanese salons for them to over compliment you but back home they'll never say you look good, they'll ask you what you think and even if you're pleased they'll never once be like "omg you look so good!".

  47566. I need to start practicing speaking Japanese again because my Japanese gets a bit rusty if I don't. I'm from the UK and there aren't many Japanese people here, so it's not very easy. I usually have to talk to myself in Japanese. I have friends who can speak it, but I can't see them right now for obvious reasons. By the way, the quality of your videos is improving and your Japanese is getting better too (especially pronunciation). Please don't stop making YouTube videos!

  47642. Question from an ol' youtuber who hasn't made a video in a year. I want to make vlogs in public, but I find it a little bit difficult because I feel like I'm intruding. It's awkward. I have a CannonG7x. Do you think the smaller size of the GoPro makes it a lot easier/less awkward to use in public? Thanks.
    1
  47643. That's great you can speak 3 languages fluently. I took Japanese & Mandarin in high school but still couldn't speak fluently. now I forgot it all since I never used it for 20 yrs. and now have to read English subs when watching dramas and films. It was actually easier for me to learn Japanese with a, i, u, e,o, (like Spanish) then Mandarin. In Mandarin 101 I got a "C" since I just couldn't get the right tones. 5 tones for one word was really hard but Cantonese is even more muzukashi with like 12 tones. lol
    1
  47644. You are correct. I lived in Japan for 6 years. Very "to themselves" personality but when you engage with them they open up and you make instant friends. I've never seen a train car so packed and yet so quiet.

  47645. Thanks for your everpresent openness and in this particular case the really helpful and essential no-nonsense tips on language acquisition. Interesting academic career by the way. And I have to say: Great youtube channel (inspiring, informative, sometimes eye-opening) and yet marked in most videos by a lighthearted atmosphere, which sometimes is really helpful during you know who ... Keep up the good work. All the best from the other side of the world (aka Germany) to you and Yuki.

  47659. I've had these experiences too as a Mix im half German half Taiwanese and i was born in HK and i learnt english myself in about a year so i know 4 languages. (im most fluent in English tho) one time i went to meet my mom's co-workers and friends (it was my first time meeting them) and when i talked to them in chinese they were shocked, they looked at me for a bit and asked how i was spoke such good chinese and i never really knew what to reply with so i'd just laugh awkwardly but its still pretty funny to me, especially their shocked faces. also i remember there being a foreign teacher come to my school to teach but he didnt know any chinese so he had to get a translator, and because i knew both languages i knew how bad the translator was, they didnt actually fully translate everything, they translated the first few words and made up the rest and told everyone to clap repeatedly and went on about random things for a good 5 minutes which got the foreign guy worried he spoke to much. it went on like that for about 40 minutes, i was a bit upset because they weren't even translating anything which is their job.. my classmates had no idea and i told them about it and they were pretty shocked, they didnt expect that and nor did i lol but i like to kind of secretly judge translators and see if they get anything wrong because i think its kind of funny. (and i ended up translating what the foreign teacher actually said to my classmate, it was very very different) by the way, i love ur videos! i find ur channel very interesting and fun to watch! ur videos really make my day and i really wished i knew some more languages like u and i hope u have a great day if ur reading this ^^

  47662. I can imagine food being an issue for most Westerners living in Japan and China. I always found food in America to be quite boring even compared to England so I can imagine some quite colourful Asian dishes being not that appealing at first. Ghosting is the worst, I guess they assume you'll somehow pick up on these random signs that they don't actually want to meet up and then don't want to admit they were wrong so avoid confrontation. It hurts a lot when you go out your way to meet up with somebody and then they just don't show up or cancel last minute. I've had relationships end in a similar way, I think things are going well and one day they ghost for seemingly no reason. This is why I married an American living in Japan, not that relationships between Japanese and foreigners don't work out all the time but I find it much easier to be in a relationship with somebody that has a similar cultural background. Americans tend to also be very vocal about their feelings compared to Japanese so no misunderstandings lol.

  47664. What!? Your roommates could just boiled and ate those dumplings without tidying up and with all those flour scattered around on the table! Not to sound too fastidious but I would certainly lose my appetite with those mess, so sorry!! Nevertheless, they look like nice people!

  47665. Some polyglots are excessive and seem to do it for just fame or money. However it is ignorant to assume they are all like that. Some people simply love exploring other cultures and the language is a huge part of that. On top of that its more a sign of respect to the person whose language youve learned. Communication is key when you go into someone elses country, and it makes the people of that country feel more comfortable.

  47682. I think this is interesting but feel that R2D2 is more fun. I work in IT so that side of things might be neat to learn about. It looks to me like you guys have lots of quality food places to choose from for lunch there. Not like here in America there is Panda Express and Chipolte - that's about as fancy as it gets.

  47686. I'd expect that location would be an important factor in a person's level of surprise. Few people and few outsiders live in rural areas. Cities, though, have more people and therefore more surprising people. It's hard to be surprised when, at some level, you're expecting to be surprised.

  47690. The world is changing Pearl. I'll just be blunt. You should get some kind of visa, teach English if necessary. And, stay in Japan. China is undergoing a lot of turmoil and the risks are impossible to predict. I expect that China is fun for you, but see if you can get Japan to just about do it for you. Or, if you're motivated by an education timeline. What's the point of that if your in danger in some other way?

I have eaten eyes, mountain oysters and other unmentionables and it is never the taste but the texture that can be off putting. The barbecue is the best though. Have you been to Xi'an, according to my wife it is the best place to eat in China.

    1
  47762. To be fair, the second person didn't know the answer, even when you spoke Japanese, haha. She turned to the other lady for help. I think it's really important to learn some of the language if you're planning on visiting a foreign country. Sure, if you go to Tokyo or something like that, it would probably be fine to speak English, but if you bother to learn the language, people will often be happy that you're trying at least. Plus it's just respectful and shows you actually care about the country, culture, etc. It makes things easier too!

I love the follow up videos with a Katie too. I hope I can have the fluency/proficiency to one day make Japanese friends on the street, lol. Also 6% is one of my favorite stores, I go there every time I’m in Harajuku! 💖❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

    1
  47793. It’s honestly a much better way than some people (especially in the US and UK) sometimes react to foreign people trying to speak English. By trying to encourage and compliment them, at least it’s a positive thing rather than something negative which is more likely to motivate someone to learn the language than laughing or making a racial comment. I remember this boy had transferred from China into England (we were about 9 years old) and was trying to learn English, and people would always make fun about his accent. Also happened to a Korean girl I knew in highschool. Also, I absolutely love your channel!!! Your personality is so fun and easy to watch, and always makes me smile :) Helped me get through the hardest parts of lockdown 💗💗💗
    1
  47794. Chinese is up there on the list of languages I want to learn. I pick up basic phrases from listening to channels like yours (is repetition a language construct of Chinese or just a habit non-native speakers pick up when in those communities? It's really useful in a video!). I have to learn Thai first though to be able to communicate with my partner's family D: so many things to do and only a few decades to do them in

  47819. Very fun to watch video once again! I love how outgoing you are, and it's not even awkward if you stick around after you bought something. You can really keep a conversation flowing nicely. I'd still experiment with the subtitles a bit. The font is quite "comic-style" with some wonky letters. A boring bog-standard font would ultimately be easier to read. Plus i still think the readability would be better with a slightly smaller font size. Reason being, it wouldn't go to the edges of the screen anymore. See, i have a 32" PC monitor, and constantly reading to both edges of the screen at the rapid pace your conversation is going, all the while looking at the video too, it definitely takes up some brain capacity, haha :)

  47832. Love how you just started a conversation with the people, I am 15 and started a while ago studying and learning Japanese language and the place itself. I love the place and the people. I've wanted to move, if not visit for a long time, and it's gonna be a long visit lmaoooo

  47833. You are pretty amazing. I’ve tried to learn GREEK on my own and I know how to read and speak some basic conversational things. My dream was to be fluent but never got there (yet). I always said I’d love to move there because I know immersion is best. I’m too old and established her in US for that. Anyway, you’re inspirational and I love your videos!!!! -Jason (maui, HI)

  47835. God bless your determination 🙏.... I decided to take a refresher course in Spanish.... A language I haven't studied since I was 12 13 years old. I am now 72 and I work part-time in a community college. Something pushed me to go ahead with my plan and I did fairly well because Spanish 101 is basically what I studied back 100 years LOL. But little to my knowledge we had an influx of spanish-speaking people coming through the Mexican United States border this past couple years. And I did not know that they would end up in the Chicagoland area and that we would have several adult students enrolled in our ESL (English as a second language). And one of my department's jobs was to help set them up with our school email and a student portal and also blackboard which is helps the students set up their study for class. I couldn't have picked a better time for my refresher course and it is come in handy. I also had to utilize a lot of words that would pertain to what I was explaining to the students. Several of them spoke some English so with my some Spanish and their some English it was quite an enjoyable time and everyone was very very excited and very very happy. All worked out very well and I am happy and going to continue learning Spanish.

  47847. That's cool! I wish I can do that too... But I just can't even in my own language. I don't know how to approach people first. what conversation? what topic? That thing that won't make me look over friendly, or annoying.. 😅 That's why when I was still in school, the only friends or people I get close to are those within my reach. My seatmates.. And sometimes my seatmate's seatmate. I don't know if it's my shyness or me being coward?

  47882. Love watching your videos! This is the first one that I've seen your husband Tommy in (I'm new to your channel, and yes, I subscribed!😊); hope to see him in a lot more! I think it's so cool that you are learning so many of the Asian languages! I started with Mandarin a few weeks ago; in another 6 months, I will start with Vietnamese (there's quite a few Vietnamese people here in NJ, esp in the salons, and I thought it would be nice to engage in conversation with them😊). That's cool that you met some Chinese people from NJ on your Utah trip!😄 It's great to be able to converse with so many people from all over! Japanese is another language I want to learn, but it will have to wait; I love hearing it-it's a beautiful language. You inspire me to continue learning; keep up the great work you do! God bless!🥰

  47885. Thank-you for that little insight. Most people are unaware of phrasing differences between formal, business, informal, and casual use regarding0 Japan/Japanese; this was a great example. The rules in Japan are very strict as to appropriateness in even the simplest of things. This is in particular with the Senpai (Senior as in Mentor) - Kohai (Junior as in underclassman) relationship.

  47887. It's interesting to see what other offices are like. Thank you for sharing. There are actually a lot of marketing jobs in Japan, but it's about having the right type of experience and being fluent in Japanese and usually a second language like English. It also depends on if you want to work for an agency, which can be difficult. With your language knowledge and degree in marketing I'm surprised that marketing jobs seem hard to find or to get for you. I also don't know your experience, so maybe this is your first marketing job or you haven't worked in marketing in a while. Maybe you're looking more at PR rather than marketing. Marketing isn't common for foreign workers, but it's not rare either.

  47892. Very interesting debate! It seems I'm a little late to the action and only recently joined the Youtube circle after being a couch polyglot for years. In my opinion haters are always going to hate :body-green-covering-eyes:, langauge learning is about communication, self-improvement, making new friends and having fun. Just keep at it, no matter what your fluency level is or how many languages you can speak ... Just be respectful while doing so! Peace :face-red-heart-shape:
    1
  47893. I love watching you speak Japanese and English. You are super talented! Btw, at the beginning of the video you friend spoke cantonese, referring to white man but it n a friendly way. Can’t wait for your next vlog.

  47894. I would love to know Japanese. Its really sad that here in America people shame you for speaking something other than English. I’m gonna give learn Japanese another try

  47897. They won't be afraid of you because you are well groomed and dressed woman. It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are, Japanese people tend to be scared when approached by a tall stranger. There are very few people in Japan who are close to 190cm. Anyway I'm glad you are enjoying Japan.

  47907. While I was living in Japan this past year, I can confirm these things still happen! For example, on the train people would leave a seat next to me open until it was the last choice (not every time but often enough to notice). When I went to an onsen with my sister in Kyoto, we also "cleared the pool" just like the lady mentioned. We were completely silent, no tattoos, and showered right before entering as per onsen etiquette, so the only thing it could have been was because we are White. But I had a lot of great experiences as well, like many shy Japanese people coming up to me to talk about my anime bag while on my way to a cafe or just at a coffee shop. At video game or claw arcades, they spoke to me first, which is very rare to have a Japanese person go out of their comfort zone to initiate a conversation. It's almost as if they felt more comfortable talking to me about these hobbies than other Japanese people. I think depending on the social setting, foreigners can bring out the best or worst in some Japanese people!

  47914. Since I'm from KY, you are in DEE-troit. I've never been there, myself, so I also enjoyed the tour. Haha - when I've been in India, I've about had heart attacks over close encounters on the "wrong" side of the road. I know how Tommy feels! We sure are big in the USA! I didn't appreciate that until I left our country, visited European places, then returned.
    1
  47915. Another great video on social interactions and I enjoyed the editing of the old and new at the 4:18 mark. Whilst waiting for your next video I think I will go check out Kelly's channel, and next time could you provide links for people in the descriptions? Thank-you, stay safe and as always wash your hands.
    1
  47916. You engage well with the people you interact with in your video, rather than simply just ordering. The lady seemed so happy to exchange conversation with you, and she seemed to be smiling behind her mask. I think people probably also appreciate the effort you took to learn their language. Well done!

  47920. new subscriber, great videos! there is another channel like yours i watch all the time called serpentza but he recently moved so his videos dont have as much foreign scenery like yours do anymore which is what i enjoyed most about his videos! i love your videos! ill be watching them from now on thank you for sharing!

  47931. People love genuine reaction videos, and this is the first time in recorded history we've been able to see language reaction videos like this. I love em, keep making these types of videos! It seems the only people that don't like them are polyglots that haven't capitalized on this new genre or aren't as popular
    1
  47932. Don't let the haters bother you. You've accomplished a lot. Learning Asian languages isn't easy, and you may not be as fluent as a native speaker, but you are comfortable in your knowledge, and you are constantly working to improve in your language skills. More importantly the native speakers that you communicate with are comfortable with you and appreciate you taking the time and effort to learn their language. Most of all you're a nice person, and I for one appreciate you taking the time to make videos that give me a view of a world that I will likely never get to see otherwise. Personally I love watching the reaction of native speakers when they see a blue eyed blond girl bust out some Mandarin or Japanese. BTW congratulations in your marriage..

  47933. Jesus... That old lady just stared at you the whole elevator ride.

  47934. Hey, Pearl. Say, what about your own accents? Are you able to tell if you have a weak or strong American accent when speaking Chinese or Japanese? And what's the concensus you've gathered about your accents based on0 what native Chinese and Japanese speakers say about your language skills? Thanks for the vid.
    1
  47935. Ive been studying for quite a while but my listening and speaking skills are terrible. I don’t feel confident enough to speak. Its like a chicken and egg game with my brain. I need to just get over my fear/confidence issues.

  47942. I love your videos so much! They are very refreshing and wholesome. I was reluctant to watch this particular video bc I thought it might be annoying like other language travel youtubers because of the title, but it wasn’t! It was still your high quality videos where people don’t disrespect other cultures! Once again, your channel is amazing and eye opening!!!! 💗

  47943. Ohhh, THAT'S why I like your channel. You're from Michigan. Everyone I've met from there have been really nice. Anyway, GL to you both in all that you do and congrats on the engagement. U 2 look good together. ;)

  47946. Congratulations to you both. I know how you feel as I got married in Thailand and none of my family were able to make it for various reasons. We got married again in the UK a few months later so family and friends could join us. 17 years now and has been a very happy experience with the odd down, namely our 3rd child born with some health issues (pretty much all sorted and a happy soul she is now) and now my wife underwent a major op and is in her 2nd month of recovery. If you can handle the tough times together, then you will enjoy the good times. Wishing you both the best for the years ahead. 😊

That happens to me on trips, I will go to one area, if my friend is with me, it's rain free and usually sunny; If she's not, somehow, my end is rainy but the square-mile around her is somehow lovely.

  47951. Its not only the fact that you speak their lenguajes fluently, using their accent, its the fact that you were so friendly, charismatic and humble that shocked them... and your looks as well. This video reminded me that its time to start learning a 3rd lenguaje but I'm going to be honest... Chinese its just... not on my list lol.

  47987. Hello from Mexico, just started watching some of your videos and have a question, maybe you already mention it but is your name Anming? Or is it like your chinese name? I also started watching Xiaomanyc channel and he calls himself Xiaoma and wonder if you get like chinese names over there or is just one that you like or how does that work? Great video by the way and Merry Christmas or Feliz Navidad

  47992. Great video ! It's cool to see someone successfull in languages struggling like us. The youtube videos sometimes make it look too easy. You should change the title of the video and make it a little bit more clickbait in my opinion. :p It deserves it.

  47998. Last year i went to japan. When i went into a cafe just to order a cup matcha latte, it was a long process for me 😂 because i only speak two languages English and Chinese. Which isnt really useful at all.. Well i tried mixed in alittle chinese which i said: matcha cha? Then the person was like oh ok. She was like having here or take away(In Japanese) im like HUH?! Luckily another customer was beside me that speaks alittle English, so he translated for me. I feel so thankful after that. Oh and Happy New Year! Love your contents

  48001. I would try it - probably have a doggie bag like you. Haha I ate pickled pigs feet in a jar when I was a kid & loved them but no more I grew out of that! You just do you, have fun & don't worry about the trolls. Peace & Blessings

  48002. While I adore and find this video fascinating, some of these comments are truly saddening. For example comments about “the Americans”. How do you promote cultural understanding and openness if you are going to also put another culture down. “Oh this culture is fine…but the AMERICANS”. Yes I am American saying this, but please try to understand. The loud obnoxious people you are actually speaking about represent a small percentage of REAL people here. What you see is what the medias push at you. We can’t move forward as a species if we keep deepening that divide and singling each other out like that. While I know that the “horrible Americans” exist as well, that is not the majority. Anyways, lovely video. Very thought provoking and interesting. Thank you for the content.

  48003. Thank you for uploading this. I shared a house with ten young Japanese people in Fulham, London, in 1976 and they were one of the friendliest groups of individuals I have ever encountered.

  48009. Can I just come move into your pantry and learn from you? (The "pantry" - aka corner of your room - you showed us back in the Chinese shop junk food run from last year) I'll buy all of the ramen and Pringles you can eat in exchange for Japanese and Mandarin lessons. 😎

  48011. Great tips overall but I find hellotalk is not a good app. Also moving to the country of the target language helps a lot.

  48063. that's cool AZ is offering that. When I was in grade school we took spanish in the 3rd grade (one year) and I didn't get a chance to learn another language until high school when I took german for 2 yrs. My daughter didn't take any language classes. I guess it wasn't a priority here in Oregon.

  48101. I watch all of your videos!~

  48102. I kinda like the low-key reactions better, it seems like more real communication happens there, like they feel a foreigner speaking their language is not surprising, and a conversation happens beyond "Oh, look at this person speaking!".

  48108. Japanese people will say your Japanese is great even if you only speak a few words. They are pretty humble and modest. If your Japanese sucks, they'll still give you a good compliment. :D

  48109. I don't know whether you've meet many of these nationalities, and i may sound a bit bias, but i do believe in Asia at least, the best foreign japanese speakers are from Korea & Malaysia.

  48129. Great collection of tips! I gotta mention the Dictionary of Basic/Intermediate/Advanced Japanese grammar by Japan Times though. Hands down the best grammar resource for Japanese. Note the full index is only in the advanced dictionary. Have been into the Dictionary of Misused Japanese by 3A corp recently. It shows common grammatical mistakes actual learners have made in a sentence and corrects them. One example shows a student who used つもりだ when (よ)うと思う was appropriate. Who can't relate to that?! "...買い物に行こうと思いますが、..." If you want a paper dictionary the Informative Japanese Dictionary is great. Includes standard pitch accent, definition in simple japanese, 1 word English and traditional chinese char definitions, a couple examples per definition and furigana. Because it's small-ish any given page is filled will usable vocabulary to help in your 進歩。 お疲れさまでした！(^-^)v

  48132. Tip for worldwide. Don't argue who's paying. Accept your friends generosity. Those on the other side of the counter, don't care, someone just pay, then you all can leave.

  48133. I totally understand the desire for adventure. I am the same way. I discovered several years ago that my purpose in life is to learn about the world and the universe. I turned 33 today and I recently retired. Once Covid-19 dies down, I plan to start traveling the world again. For me, nothing is more exciting or important then learning about our world and our universe. I seriously doubt that I will know everything about the universe but I will attempt to learn as much as I can and enjoy the process. People like us are the brave ones: traveling to another country that is different from yours, all in the pursuit of adventure and knowledge. I cannot imagine doing anything else, I will do this until the day I die. I hope you continue to travel and learn about the world and universe for the rest of your life. Enjoy the ride!

  48138. There's nothing wrong with criticism, in fact its essential for change, growth and improvement, but there's no need for critics to be abusive. However, If people put themselves on a public YouTube platform, don't be surprised when you have people who dislike you as well as like you.

  48139. OK so you didn’t tell me how overwhelming the hello talk app can be! I’m trying to carry on conversation of over 20 people in the past seven minutes. I just posted two pictures and introduced myself

  48142. I've posted on Dogen's videos suggesting he collab with you. His content is quite different to yours Oriental Pearl but I enjoy both of your content and y'all seem like folks who could work well together in a stream. https://youtu.be/4SqgB6j5Ma0 This is a recent video of his, most of his content is this sort of story content but he has done collabs before.

  48143. That was so random and funny, you became a celebrity in a second!!!

  48144. Your are just amazing in languages...been following you for a while. Now you are learning Korean? Incredible

  48145. Fascinating how you quickly switch between the two. As a Chinese person who has been in US for more than a year and studying Japanese at the same time, I cannot switch that easily among the 3 languages.
    1
  48146. In many East Asian countries, especially those having English as an official language, children have been told from a very young age they should speak English to non-Asian looking people. Some people even stress that it is courtesy. That's why one doesn't see many East Asian children approaching Westerners in their native tongues. For those who are shy or lack confidence in speaking a foreign language, they would be very reluctant to talk to foreigners or even non-Asian looking folks.

  48156. I always tell people to dive into the culture to better learn the language. It's not as simple as 2 + 2. I've had Spanish all throughout my school years, but what you learn in school can often differ from talking to someone in a natural setting. Detroit has a lot of Arabic and Spanish speaking communities, and although I unfortunately couldn't get into Arabic as I did with Spanish, I can say that interacting with the Spanish community here helped me a lot with my Spanish, and even then, there's A LOT I still don't know, despite interacting with Spanish speaking people all my life. I'm not a native Spanish speaker, so I'm NOT gonna be perfect. This video needs more attention cause GOD, I can't stress this enough; invest in the language and culture and not the "Language Guru."

  48168. I like that you are finally reacting back to them and stating their Chinese is good also. Keep replying that way, take it farther and state you are Chinese. When I lived in Italy and was fluent, it would surprise them when they found out I was American and spoke so well in a short time. Immersion was great, not just immersing in the language but the culture makes it easier. As more learned I was American and stated my Italian was good, I would respond back to them the same, I think it embarrassed them. They soon learned to respect my talent with their language and culture. I am sure it is harder for you since you do not look like them.

  48177. I started meeting one of my language exchange partners one-on-one at home instead of meeting in with lager groups of people as I have before, thanks to COVID19. We're not quite married yet, but I've pretty much moved in to her apartment at least :) I don't think we would have ever even dated if it weren't for the virus.

  48180. I think wouter is pretty honest indeed about his level. but one time he was doing this 1 on 1 videochat with a guy bragging about that he knew 64 languages. wouter had to give him 5 euro everytime he didn't know the language. but that other guy knew them all really badly, and when my language came i actually didnt understand what he was saying. those guys make me pissed.

  48186. Knowing how to say a little bit in 29 languages is so cool! I feel like you shouldn't say you speak a language unless you have a high degree of proficiency in it though. Not hate to this dude, just saying it's a little misleading

  48195. I can understand the feeling. I somewhat look like a foreigner in my own country that whenever I go out with my friends and we're talking to each others, curious onlookers would turn their heads whenever we/I pass people. They must have been thinking, holy, that guy talks like a native... LOL I'm a native. I also experienced two bored guards, guessing from what country those who pass the door and they thought I was a Japanese. I said to them, "Iya, nihonjin jyanai yo" then followed up with, "I'm not a Japanese, I'm actually a native here" in our native language and we laughed our lungs out.
    1
  48196. Congrats! Maybe one day You and Tommy can visit America together and have a small little re-marry there with your family back home, or a like American reception when you guys visit America. If that's something your interested in. I been following you for a long while now and it's really cool to see this. Now help fix Japan's problem of people not having enough kids and make a lot of babies. hahaha.

It seems like there’s so much beauty to be seen and experienced there. Btw, your outfit is so adorable and pretty. I love your style. 😊👍

  48209. I envy you after seeing the hamburger and melon soda. It was one of my favorite things in Japan! I hope to visit in 2022. Your videos are an inspiration to keep studying!
    1
  48210. What I wonder is your means to an end in gaining proficiency in multiple Asian languages, aside from living log term in Asia ? You obviously will not like to work in constricted office environment like corporate America as mentioned. I noticed you have collected your beloved violin from China. You appear more of a free spirit not unlike youtubers such as Katherine Journey to the East. I will bet you avoid garlicky kim chi more often than not haha.

  48215. Well...there is one language that does tend to repeat words a lot. And is Spanish from Mexico. :) I tend to hear female Mexican speakers say "Mira mira" to tell a person to go and take a look at something fast. Yeap, the same in Japanese with "mite mite." :) I'm an American too, native Spanish and English speaker, I'm trying my best to learn Japanese too. :)

  48223. I always like and I subscribed the moment I found this channel. I do think its easier for foreigners in asia to fit in nowadays. Especially if you speak the language which you do. You just happen to stand out being blonde and beautiful and assertive which looks to be intimidating to some of the people I see in your vids. Not a bad thing, they just havent gotten to know you. Imagine living in japan back in the 70's or 80's like the great author alan booth who had to deal with people (kids mostly) yelling "Gaijin!" In places outside of tokyo. Or in china during that time too. Can a foreigner truly ever fit in living in asia? Few can really say

  48236. Very nice work. You know how to engage the Japanese without scaring them away. When the Ichigo-Choco vendor mentioned Japanese repeating words, like Bye Bye, I think he was hinting at the whole category of mimetic words such as GiriGiri (just in time) and TamaTama (by chance). Your Nihongo is PeraPera (fluent).

  48252. ❤ I don't think that neither of you all are traders I think it's pretty awesome what you ladies have achieved for your lives. Its truly beautiful. Both of you are beautiful people living an extraordinary life. Don't look so kindly on any person that would tell you anything different. The world needs more people like you to show that not all Americans are terrible. Some politics can be bad but that happens everywhere probably. Right now Putin wants to kill people because of where they are from or how they live and it's not right. Your husband seems pretty awesome too btw. Sending you and your husband your family and friends and Japan and all its people my love and kindness from Kentucky 🇺🇸

The new apartment is nice but the older one had better Windows IMHO....glad you guys can afford that price...when I lived in Tokyo my rent was only 150K and it was very nice, of course that was more than 10 years ago... Could the move be related to an upcoming akachan?

  48281. The no-touching thing in Japan before Covid was something to get used to I guess? I can assume that Japanese aren’t direct either? I went through your playlist and I think that this was the last one I haven’t seen.

  48369. Hey! I originally started studying Japanese in 2005 when I was in middle school. During this time I really got into anime and I was learning a ton of new words. However my pronunciation was weak because I felt the words were too long and fast for me. Then around 2009 while watching an anime episode on Youtube I got an ad for a music video called "Gee" By Girls Generation. I was instantly hooked. I didn't know what language it was (Korean) but it fascinated me. Since learning conversational Korean I have found that going back to Japanese is A LOT easier then it was when I first started learning the language. I still can't write or read in Japanese like I can in Korean but I feel like learning another language that is built off of Chinese really helped me out.

  48375. Another enjoyable video! I guess its the same for people in english speaking countries who may still have an accent from their original country and asked where are you from, even if they have lived there for 20 years or more! People just want to fit in and not be seen as something else, or from somewhere else. I think its great for you to experience being a minority, as it will open your mind in a different way when you return to the states.

  48396. Hi Thank you for the fun vlogs always. You did not explain the reason why KFC put traditional armour in the Video, I think you knew why so this is to your none Japanese audiences. Japan has adapted old Chinese seasonal festival calendar in Heian era. It had 5 festival days as Nanakusa (Jan 7), Momo (Mar 3), Shoubu (May 5), Tanabata (Jul 7) Kiki (Sep 9). In Edo era those festival days were registered officially as the holidays. In Edo era when Samurai society took over the power structure, they had pick Shoubu festival day as their festival day because of the sound of Shoubu 菖蒲 was same with 勝負(fighting) and starting to decorate their traditional armer. Soon later this festival day was converted to boys day as wishing their sons wellbeing. That’s why not only at home but at some shop fronts especially popular places for kids and young families, you could see the traditional armour was decorated during May. And we do same for Momo Festival day (Mar 3) and it’s for Girls. We would decorate traditional princess dolls on that day.

  48419. Hold up, why are people hating on you? I mean, when I first stumbled into your channel, watching you actually motivates me into learning Japanese and restudy my French more. I've already started learning a few words in Japanese and short sentences already. What's wrong with learning more languages? I don't get the hate here. 😕

  48420. Japan looks like such a nice place and so friendly I would love to move there in the future when I learn Japanese a little better.

  48427. So Americans that are interested in learning another language and culture are hated on. So if you do you are culturally instinctive and don't understand what you are learning because your not one of them. But if you don't try and understand then your racist. People just look for a reason to be offend and hate. Just let small mined people go and keep learning and inspiring others to learn. They are just jealous they don't have the brain power to learn another language much less multiple languages. Power on!

Replace the old hard drive as I doubt it's an SSD. Install the saved OS and you have a back up laptop. I hope you save all your work to a stand alone hard drive. I'm due for a new laptop and will start using a VPN for sure and switch to Malwarebytes. This video is 6 months old, hope you got good advice about protection. Peace to you Anming.

  48447. I really enjoyed your video comparing your experiences teaching in China and Japan. I am teaching English in Japan as well and always wondered what it was like in other countries like China, Korea, Vietnam. I too will be leaving my ESL job in Japan very soon to pursue other goals. I loved my time in Japan and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in working with children, travelling around Asia and getting work experience. I do have one concern about your video though, and it’s the recording of the children. Wondering if you got permission from their parents, and your staff at the time? I know in Japan, filming, taking photos of students and putting it on social media without the permission of their parents and school is a big no no. Out of concern for your channel, you should probably blur the children’s faces.

  48453. Actually, the term "Yankee" was applied to Americans during the Revolutionary war by the "Red Coats" (British) and "Hessians" (Germans). During America's Civil war, it was applied to the northern state, and in the modern northern states it's applied to rich people. In the '80s and '90s a lot of Asian youth were copying punk rockers as an "American/Yankee" look. That's probably where the application of the term for delinquents started.

  48473. I appreciate you posting these types of videos and wish I had been able to do so 20 years ago while raising my Japanese American son in Japan. As a toddler he looked more western but now looks more Japanese. It can get to you mentally when you see people pointing at you and your child whispering to one another especially on days you just want to rest on the train or your little one is having a rough day. I felt and remember commenting frequently that it was like being a zoo animal on exhibit wherever we went. I know there are many factors why I internalized this attention as negative. As my son grew, ijime became a big problem, but I now look back and realize that part of it was a jealousy issue that some of the children had especially when their moms would compliment my son’s big eyes or doll face. Times have changed I believe since then. To me, I felt I was Japanese and it was hard to decipher prejudice from unspoken rules such as no kids allowed at certain restaurants or why I had to have my name on a different family registry than my son because I was gaijin, etc. I believe for me it was something I had to experience and live with for a while to understand that the intent was usually innocent. Most importantly, despite these minor hiccups, I feel a greater sense of connection with Japan than I do anywhere else I have lived. It is a lovely place to live your life and raise your children.

  48476. I used to think that wouter was a show-off, and then during lockdown earlier this year, I used to go to his Twitch channel and took part in his polyglot game that he invented which was really good fun. I was impressed by his generous attention to all the participants in the game and how he made them (us) feel good by making little playing board pieces or acknowledging the players' birthdays and organizing online parties for them. I think he's quite a humble guy because he tries to connect with everybody and that's why he promotes himself as a person who knows so many languages, although he always says he can only speak 6 languages "deeply:" Yes, he's also got a commercial side and makes money from his youtube channel. Good luck to him for that.

  48482. I love your charisma. My question is; do you teach at all? I'f not, you should. I've always dreamed of visiting Japan. Is the cost of living where you live vastly different than where you're from, in the U.S.? Wherever that may be.

I dunno, almost proud? lol. It's weird ... .dope stuff Pearl, keep it up.

  48500. I'm learning in a smaller town in Nagano and fortunately the teachers are very relaxed and incredibly friendly. However, the teaching instruction is not good. Basically, we never do anything but correct the night befores' homework together for 80% of the class. We don't ever practice talking with one another. The teachers don't do anything to spice up the class---no visuals, no varied teaching methods, no role plays, and rarely any review of previous lesson grammar principles. For example, on Vocab Fridays, the teacher just reads a word from the JLPT N3 Vocab textbook, we discuss it, and then move on to the next word---and that lasts 3 boring hours (no pictures even). I think this was one of the worst investments I have ever made because it has crushed my desire to learn Japanese. Fortunately, I'm graduating soon and will start my full-time job teaching preschool while living in a hot spring town, so I'm looking forward to studying what I want to study without looming deadlines and tests. If I could do it over again, I would chose a school that focuses on conversation and cares less about JLPT preparedness.

  48501. I'm literally going through all your videos and just amazed by how quick you can transition between languages. I'm learning Italian right now and it is so hard to stay focused on it/remember everything, but your hard work is really inspiring.

  48518. I don't understand people who are against learning new languages. Personally I see it as a handicap. I'm a native French speaker and started learning English in the 4th grade. Years When I realised I was fluent enough with it, I wanted to learn another, but that was out of my means for many more years. In late 2020 I finally got to start learning my third, Portuguese. It's obviously not going as fast as I'd like (maybe because I'm older now), but I am progressing, and when I get frustrated I try to remind myself I didn't learn English overnight either. Also if I were to move to a different country, I would make an effort to learn their language as well to better integrate, seems like common courtesy to me.

  48524. I'm not from America but i learn English and so the thing i do and that helps me, not only English but other languages is, i hear, watch videos and read from that language, write down the words you don't know, translate them but not in google translate its awful, but others resources and try to memorize them or write them down, i memorize them because for some reason i can understand them easily, but listen to me you have to start first with spelling its easier then grammar and pronunciations because in grammar and spelling the things you put first in your native language can be very different in the language you're learning in my country its so different the grammar and the spelling in English and much more different in Japanese i'm learning. And you have to memorize a lot if you're willing to learn a few languages and it's really funny, at least for me. I hope i helped you with that information bye have a great time sir/lady/person and have a peaceful night/day bye-bye

  48541. I had a huge smile the whole time watching this 😁. My gf is from China, so we’re trying to learn each other’s language, but I think she has the advantage since Spanish is definitely a lot easier than Mandarin 🤣 Those four tones in Mandarin are the death of me, and she’s getting quite good at Spanish. I lived in Sweden, so I had the opportunity to learn Swedish as well but Swedes are among the best English as a 2nd language speakers in Europe, so I had to pretend I couldn’t speak English in order to force myself to learn and speak Swedish 😅 More content please! This was my first video I have watched from you, so I will subscribe after I am done writing this 😀

  48553. I used to have the same feeling living here in Barcelona and speaking a pretty good Catalan. But I'm trying to come to terms with it, because it's still quite rare to see foreigners speaking Catalan and it's understandable that they get surprised. Now I try to focus on their joy when some one from elsewhere speaks their language. :)

  48597. An Asian face can get that in the US as well. And not necessarily in a cheerfully astonished way. When I was a kid (in the 80s) I usually spent my summers visiting my cousins in a tiny town in Iowa. I have no discernible foreign accent so when I answered the phone there when my cousins friends called looking for them, they'd always be confused at first and they'd eventually ask who I was, they didn't always believe that I was a visiting family member.

  48604. There is a point at which you discover what could be considered diminishing returns on people's reactions.Get far enough out in the countryside, and they assume the only reason you could POSSIBLY be there is if you are married to or dating a local. At that point, pretty much all expectations of how Japanese people normally treat foreigners are useless. :-)

  48610. That is true, but don't forget that that many Japanese not speak English and they are just shy to speak in English. I am speaking Japanese and of course, they were all the time kind and helpful...because they understand me. The video would be more accurate if you wouldn't speak Japanese. It is just my opinion, but still, thanks for the video, I like it.

  48613. Rather than sharing a bad international experience, I’ll share an unusual one. It’s when you leave Spain to cross over into Gibraltar, and vice versa. To do this on foot, which is the fastest way, you literally show your passport at Customs and then walk across the runway at Gibraltar International Airport. So it’s best to time this based on the schedule of incoming and outgoing flights, to minimize the wait. It’s just kind of surreal to be immersed in Andalusian Spanish, then show your passport to someone and walk across a runway, and suddenly everyone around you is speaking English! (Specifically, Llanito English, with code-switching in Andalusian Spanish — another surreal experience for Americans who are used to a very different form of Spanglish!)

  48617. Lol, Chinese people think of Detroit as a "car city" when it is really just a crime ridden shithole with awful roads. The roads are so bad I felt like I was going to die driving there. Plus it was the middle of winter and they don't use salt to melt the ice on the roads in Michigan. Crime is a HUGE problem there too

  48621. I think a lot of us did that in our spanish and french classes. If I just get into those higher up advanced college classes I'll be fluent. Nope! You must do tons of outside work as well. Reading, listening and speaking and doing it tons regularly. Just like ice skating. I see people hit the rink hard a few days a week, for a couple of months, going to be a great skater, then you never see them again. While after a year and a half, I'm still improving and getting more abilities under my belt. It takes a lot of practice and ploughing through a month of seemingly no progress. Then suddenly something clicks and you get that one foot glide or crossover going the other "wrong" way. It's hours of practice.

  48625. I would’ve never known there are so many Chinese live in Japan. Seem like a fun place to visit, I can browse around all day ,ending up buying and eating too much. These people almost treat you like a friend instantly. If you keep on learning more and more Chinese and Japanese, it would be difficult for you to return back to your US life.😃

  48650. I can't say this with certainty as I've never been to Japan, but I get the vibe that it's just that they aren't used to seeing overweight people (bar Sumo wrestlers). I don't think it's meant as shaming or malicious albeit it may come off as that. It's similar to when my blonde friend and I went to some rural areas in Cambodia and some locals asked for a photograph of her (NOT WITH HER).

  48651. I always watch the entirety of your videos. I must be your target audience. 😆

  48652. Huh. I noticed at around 6:30 you walked on the left side of the walk and then left side on the stairs. I know Japan drives on the left but never thought through to sidewalks and stairs. Here in the states it also usually follows the way we drive. Interesting.

  48653. I love that after years of speaking Chinese, looking like this, she is still surprised by dudes desperately trying to get her attention :D As for old CHinese people following you: those are evil aunties and evil uncles. Paid for by the Chinese government to track foreigners with a following on social media above a certain level or other means of influence. They're trying to find out if you use your "fame" and attraction skills for propaganda purposes. Aka for telling the truth. Check out Laowhy86 and SerpentZA on the issue of WuMaos and evil uncles. They can write books on it based on first hand experiences. Yes, even outside China.
    1
  48654. Your fluency is like a compliment to the native speakers. As a Scottish guy regularly holidaying in Bulgaria, I get such respect that I took the trouble to study their language even to the conversational level. It's a great feeling, and worth all the effort.
    1
  48655. I gotta disagree with some of what they say toward the end. When it comes down to it, you can and should knock fake polyglots as business people. When what you are selling is a lie, it's not a hard thing to sell when the truth isn't half as attractive. They lie precisely because they are bad at all of the aspects of business and it's the only way they can make any sales.

  48663. I think it's a matter on the choice of perspective. People can choose whether they want to love or hate it right? Everything has good and bad side anyway, and haters always exist no matter how good something is. It's good if you can motivate yourself from these kind of videos, but if it can't and even may disturb you, then maybe it's just not for you. Hope you can keep going and not to be discouraged by the toxics. 🙌

  48668. Nice vlog. You are elegant even when you stumble. There's a special feeling when you land a job you really want and enjoy, it shows on your face. I have to say I do like the Japanese school backpacks though. When I lived there I appreciated the uniformity to a point. Always vigilant when driving and seeing kids raise their hands. Not sure if they still do that. I really miss street Yakisoba.

  48685. 🙋🏾‍♀️That video was lovely. I really enjoyed it. The breakfast looked so yummy. So much snow. I’m originally from Pennsylvania, and also lived in Germany. Brrrr. Been living in San Diego, Calif for a while now—I can visit cold places, but I’m too wimpy now to live in cold places. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. 🥰Thank you for sharing.

  48692. 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

  48695. I watch wouter YT video alot he is amazing plus English is my second language i study english for 10 years

  48696. i mean i think is natural to expect in any city at any country to listen foreigners speak a bit of the language but get surprised if they do speak very fluenly and vocalize correctly the language, while as in the countryside is moreless the same, but they usually get more surprised, as they arent use to see foreingners at all, and at the same i think is safe to say country side people tent to be more open, calm and friendly, therefore more naturally interested into foreigners, while at the cities we tent to just go with our lives and dont bother much others, as we might cross with thousand of people in a day. In my experience most of the time people in other countries tent to get suprised a bit when speaking their languages, or even when speaking mine, spanish, on their countries and usually they either just look at me if they are shy, or they ask why are we in their country, where we come from, and those kind of questions. I personally find it really cool to have these cultural shocks and cheatchatting with other people that arent from my country.

Please tell me those are not real people putting time on making a video about hating you because you encourage people about learning language. Because you encouraged me to learn english and speak it properly.

  48722. I've encountered a lot of friendly Japanese in Tokyo as well Osaka and Kyoto. Whenever I ask for direction many of them brought me to the place I want to go instead of just telling the direction. Also they offer help without you asking. Some of them offered to take picture of me when they saw me struggling taking my own pic and so with lifting my luggage in staircases in train stations even if I say it is ok. They are warm and kind, it's just that some of them are more shy to express their interest in talking to foreigners.

  48731. So when you are in Japan you mainly speak chineese to everyone even if they are japonese? Do a lot of Chinese people live in Japan? Your videos are so fascinating I am learning a lot about the culture more and more. I had a Korean exchange student live with me for over a year and it was the best way to learn about her culture. I would do it again.

  48740. I love other cultures and your channel not only inspires me to learn more about them but its one of the few forms of entertainment on the entire internet that genuinely makes me smile to see these interactions. When their face of shock happens I feel like there is hope for this planet. Not many other things out there right now make me smile like these do. I have seen a lot of other people doing this but I dont enjoy them like I do how you do yours.

  48756. I have been following your language learning advice since I first discovered you on YouTube. Not to learn Chinese but to learn Japanese. I average two to three hours a day now. Somedays, words, sentence structure, and comprehension just flow easily. I'm a genius. Other days I can't recall stuff I know I know, I can't write a sentence, and I can't comprehend hardly anything. However, rather than just dropping it for a day or a week, as I used too, I power through making minimum daily quotas while cursing my stupidly. Your example gave me the inspiration to battle, daily. I know the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and then putting one foot in front of the other until you reach your goal. However, I'd like to not fall as much cause skinned knees and hands hurt. They heal, and I plod on a little further. That's the inspiration that your video's have given me. Thanks.

  48757. i know it's not your thing but if you made some videos about your language learning process i wouldn't complain

  48760. Just like how we interested much more in a video game world rather than the npcs in it, sometimes foreigners interested much more in another country than the locals themself

  48761. Thank you for videos like this. It's a good way for me to gauge my skill level for small talk with strangers.

  48762. Yes we can all learn foreign languages. Even though we think we are bad at learning languages, which is my case, since we all have learnt a first language our brain is sufficient to learn any other language. The hard thing is to practise and never give up the learning of the targeted language. Respect for your great chinese because it's a really hard language to learn and it needs big efforts to master it. While improving my english i'm trying to learn chinese but the tones are a pretty scary thing Oo. Your videos encourage me not to give up 💪

  48763. My dad was posted in Yokohama in the 1970s, and would astonish almost everyone he met with his fluent Japanese. His school principal was able to leverage this to help with getting approval for projects. If the school board is wavering on whether to fund a renovation, having a western guy make the presentation made him feel a little self-conscious, but after his perfect track record winning votes for his school, he stopped complaining. I'm sure that wouldn't work today.

  48783. Anming姐姐您好，现在中国国内这边大部分地区的疫情基本上算是抑制住了，多个省市的新增病例几乎降到了0，估计再有一个月左右中国（至少学校）就恢复正常了，然而现在新增病例的来源主要是境外输入（来自伊朗、意大利等国家的华人回国），也就意味着尽管国内情况会变好，但是最近一段时间中国政府会在海关入关方面查控的比较严格，可能对于尽快你回到上海不利。希望中国以及世界的疫情尽快结束吧！ 我是一名在北京的高二学生，在今年秋天申请美国大学，但由于疫情的爆发导致学校无法开学、托福雅思考试全部取消、我们参加3月份SAT考试的资格也被取消，只能临时报名5月份的SAT，与同样在5月的好几门AP考试组成了“死亡5月”（并且我报名了AP HuG，和SAT一样又需要去大陆境外考试，所以我在五月的几天内需要跑境外——北京——境外来参加多场重要的考试），同时我也不知道它们会不会受到很大的影响。另外我有一个同学申请了美国一所著名大学的带学分夏校，他在收到offer邮件后的5小时内又收到一封由于疫情而夏校资格被取消的邮件，这让他真的很绝望。我本人也刚刚收到一个首选夏校的offer（幸运的是它暂时还没有撤回），但是它需要我申请F1学生签证，而美国驻中国大使馆至少要到5月份才重新开放，这使我们也非常焦虑。综上原因导致我们今年申请的这一届有许多同学都在考虑是不是要准备留一年级了😢（这么长时间努力拼命熬夜学习搞竞赛活动都付诸东流）。 希望世界各个国家的政府与其他多边组织在这个严肃问题上能够少一些由于意识形态的斗争，多一些方法合作与参考学习，用中国官方的话来说叫“构建人类命运共同体”，因为在疫情面前所有人类的命运都紧紧联系在一起！ Anming姐姐您在日本也要多保重，出门一定要带好口罩，因为那里的疫情状况还在处于上升期；希望您能够早日回归正常的学习生活。

  48784. For all those bargain hunting foreigners: Beware there are at least 3 levels of tourist groups. Most of the time you got what you paid for. 1. Cheap, "bargain" group - you may expect to spend significant amount of time at the merchandise selling seminars. That's how they make up their expenses. 2. "luxury" group - you may expect some time at the merchandise selling seminars. May be 50% less than the bargaining group but you will pay much more up front. 3. Super luxury group with no selling seminar, plus you may even have express privileges to enter some of the most popular and crowded tourist places without lining up for hours - you guessed, you will have to pay a premium price for the service. *Remember: there is no free lunch anywhere in this world.

  48785. i was stationed at Yokosuka naval base and i was inbound to Tokyo Narita on March 11 after having finished my deployment to Kabul. We were a mere minutes from landing at NAR when the air traffic controllers put us in a holding pattern. The pilot informed us an earthquake had just happened - we didn't know the extent of the damage. We got diverted to Sapporo and we were parked on runway for more than 7 hours; it was a very serene setting - there was still snow on the ground. While we were waiting on the tarmac, the plane shook. The pilot said, "Any other day that would be due to the wind, but, as you see it's calm outside ... that was an aftershock ..." Eventually, we deplaned and the airline was able to put us in a hotel. We arrived at the lodging shortly after 2AM. When i turned on the TV, it was shocking to see the tsunami footage ... (my fellow shipmates were on their way to pick me up at the airport when the earthquake hit - the highway was oscillating up and down; they had to spend the night along the highway because all travel was shutdown; when we flew back to Tokyo the next night - they told me, "Sorry dude, you'll have to find another way back ..." luckily, i knew how to navigate the train system back to Kanagawa prefecture ... it was quite an adventure dealing with the aftermath ... something i'll never forget) ... those siren sounds were eery

  48802. Having studied Chinese first I find it really satisfying to recognise a lot of Kanji and compare the usages with Chinese. It's funny when Japanese say they don't understand the most basic Chinese sentence but actually there are many characters in common. I think it just throws them when they see so many kanji together in a weird grammatical structure? In the reverse, Chinese can get a lot of meaning from some Japanese sentences which have corresponding Kanji.

  48810. Kudos for showing Aleksi in the video 😁👍 If you are from a small country and nobody else in the world speaks your language, learning other languages is pretty much what you absolutely need to do. It may be a different experience for countries and languages that have tens or hundreds of millions of speakers. Personally, if somebody makes the effort to learn my language (Finnish), I would be surprised and pleased - "wow he/she is really doing an effort here and bothered learning to speak it". I would say hardly anyone native at least in my country would see this as a negative thing.

  48838. Any skill that someone displays at a reasonably good level will get applause and praise. Multilingual conversational ability is not common in ‘Murica so it’s like a superpower to some who have no experience around it. Like a skateboarder doing a kick flip. I’ve never done a skateboard trick so I am impressed when I see even the simplest trick like that. I don’t care if the skateboarder is a pro who has total mastery of the sport. It is just nice to be surprised and entertained for a moment in your day.

  48845. I cant wait for my daughter to know these same languages.. I want her to know 6 at least, and Japanese, Chinese are 2 of those, English and Spanish being talked in the house should learn those easily too. My daughter is only 1year and 6months atm, but ill be sure to show her your videos for inspiration once she is older.

  48855. In the beginning of your Mandarin journey, did you challenge yourself to memorize X amount of vocabulary words? Did you use the HSK standard course books? After how long of studying, did it take for you to obtain Chinese comprehensive skills?

  48860. Looking back, I don't think I ever studied in school, I did my homework but I never did more than that lol it never occurred to me that I should maybe learn more French words or expand my knowledge on this topic because my school was so focused on hitting assessment objectives instead.

  48870. Being a "native foreigner" must be frustrating. That clip you played at 1:11 shows how strong visual cues are, where the waitress isn't understanding the guy speaking Japanese because all the cues are backwards - the foreigners are speaking Japanese and the Asian-looking woman isn't.
    1
  48871. As an English teacher myself, this is true…..

  48889. Does it feel weird for you coming from MI that the houses in the area are small & tall & the roads are narrow? I watch videos of Japan based youtubers & get distracted by the lack of pathways & the walls of buildings, just inches from the roads.

  48890. this girl knows CHINESE TOO?

  48898. The thing with languages is, if you don't immerse in their culture,speak to their natives,get their humor,learn their gestures, tone of voice, etc you dont get the accent and or being able to speak fluently and properly (even if you study it) And that is the issue many do And surely it looks thag you love being there , You have a lovely accent
    1
  48899. Great video. I do like seeing those who go around speaking a little of the language and having conversations with locals for fun but when someone claims to be a polyglot and barely knows the language those videos make me cringe. It took me months to be at a conversation level in Korean but they usually say oh it only took a week ugh those videos are so disheartening for beginner learners.
    1
  48900. very beautiful.

  48901. Thank you for sharing. I am studying Japanese now and this is very inspiring to me. I want to learn so that I can communicate with more people Oh yeah, buy vegetables!

  48902. What makes this so fun is its America through different eyes. Language videos expose Americans to different cultures but this showed US through a nice lense…and at the perfect American holiday season. Oriental Pearl, you scamp, you held a mirror up to us.

  48914. It's great to see another video from you. I wish my government took the virus as seriously. In the UK there are very few masks, not even enough for our medical staff, never mind our public. We don't have hand sanitisers in shops, not free or to purchase, shops have been out of stock of hand sanitisers since early march. We also have 125,000 confirmed cases and we are not testing those with symptoms in hospitals, so the actual number is likely much higher. Stay safe!

  48926. I bet u didn't come across many Chinese ppl in "China Town," haha. Most Chinese ppl live around 대림역 and 안산, if I remember right. I'm sure there are other areas, but "China Town" is kinda fake imo. It's just picturesque. I'm not even sure there is any real Chinese restaurants there. It's all "Korean Chinese," which is 100% Korean. That was actually one of my small complaints when first moving here, lol. It's so hard to find delicious authentic Chinese food!
    1
  48927. Thank you!
    1
  48928. Oriental Pearl This video was amazing. How many years did you study Japanese and Chinese. Is it better to learn at a young age I am 14 and I want to learn both Chinese and Japanese, but I don't have the money to spend on learning apps and books. Which language do you suggest learning first? Do you still think I can learn without money?
    1
  48929. Of course, I watch your every video! I used "80/20 Japanese" to wrap the concepts around my head in the beginning and after that understanding the basics became much simpler.
    1
  48930. Which language is harder? Chinese language or Japanese? Wow..how did u manage to learn it at your fingertips well?
    1
  48931. I totally agree with you. I've done German language studies and gave an exam at the C2 level, which is the highest. But it does take discipline and commitment to learn it and not to forget it. I think YouTube and the Internet have made language learning much more easy and accessible. I hope you continue making your videos, you never know whom you'll inspire on any given day.

  48932. You got mauled!!! Hilarious!!! 😆 😁

  48949. People that have never been to Japan can never comprehend how amazing their "stuff" is compared to the rest of the world's "stuff." It's all next level and I miss it sometimes. Also one of the best steaks I ever had was at a Denny's in Japan. I believe it was in Fukuoka though I can't remember for sure because it was like 25 years ago. PS. "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way." - Jessica Rabbit 😎

  48950. 中文应该比日文难学
    1
  48951. I learnt japanese and finnish, for me japanese was so much easier than finnish. My native language is german, so not sure which one of these languages are even close to german, probably none, lol. But anyways, japanese was so much more easier to learn with the grammar and easier to understand in total than finnish.

  48987. Wow!! I was so interested in the conversation with the girl in the rainbow colored shirt that it wasn't until mid-conversation that I realized you were having a full blown conversation with her in Japanese. I'm very interested in languages and I hope I can learn languages like you one day. Right now I'm learning Italian and I'm close to intermediate but I really want to learn an Asian language. I love this video! Awesome job!!

  48990. If you wanted to study abroad, how fluent in the language should you be before you go over? For example, can you go in not knowing the language at all? How much Chinese did you know before you went over? Did you know any Japanese?

  48991. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. When Tommy comes back make sure you two visit Chicago and Columbus.😉 Go Bucks!

  48999. Great for visiting but I'd never wanna work and live in Japan, not as an adult anyway. It's so not worth it, the isolationist culture is too much, I'm a hug person.

  49004. Some of your sentences sound strange to me as a British person. Would you make those sentences in America or is it because it's sentences popular in Japan or China? (Eg "You are too amazing")

  49021. I cannot count the amount of times I cringed watching these so-called polyglots claim to "speak" (which unless clarified it automatically gets interpreted as "fluent in", at least by me) some of the languages I studied and have a nice understanding about what advanced level should sound like. "Jack of all trades" language learning is fine as long as you don't claim you're fluent which is just misleading and this happens usually at someone else's expense. I stopped listening to the constant criticisms regarding learning so many languages at once because I can't help but being interested in a lot of things but getting on Youtube with the level that I have would just be plain embarrassing :') I can't even claim I am that good at Spanish and I have B2.

  49038. I took Latin in high school and German in college. Four years in each. So I could parse together something understandable in each language; but I would never claim "mastery" in either. But a couple of years after college, I was visiting my father in South Carolina, and as we were walking back to his car from a little nature walk, I heard some Germans coming into the parking lot, speaking in their native tongue (basic stuff; that was beautiful, where are we going to eat tonight, etc.). I caught their eye and nodded, saying "Good day, how are you?" And they replied, quickly asking if I was from Germany, perhaps Hannover. I told them I was from the USA, and got one of the most pleasant surprises of my life when the husband said that my German accent sounded like someone from the northwest and not a foreign speaker. His wife also told me I spoke very well. Chalk one up for the teaching skills of Professor Miller. Probably my proudest language moment.

  49040. I like your videos! :) I often talk about other people like: Look, they are waiting here for the bus too so we are at the right place! Or let's wait they try to make a foto so we stay here! Wow look how sweet when I see kids or pets. It's not necessary to be rude. When I have a problem I say something directly or I show that I am not happy with some (bad) behavior. I never chat about people in a bad way.

  49045. Its funny, the fact that I never learn Japanese but I'm surrounded by so many people who speak Japanese so I just absorb what they said like almost everytime until I really understand what are they saying and at the end I become used to it and know how to respond to it 😀

  49047. i think, in most country's where people dont speak English native, people can't do so in general.. especially 40+ old people.. "you" would think that in 2020 speaking English , at least just on a basic level, would be standard in the under 30 year old population around the world, but its not... i dont know what is with people and with the defiance to learn a second language , even just for occasional convenience sake..

  49062. Yup. I used to teach at Waseda (Ningenkagakubu). Been living and teaching in Japan for about 40 consecutive years now, mostly in the Tokyo area ... and your comments are accurate for most teachers in the Tokyo area, regardless of academic domain. Goddamned military boot camp ... so bad, that I resigned in protest from a tenured position at Jissen Women's College, and now ending my career as a yearly contract worker (ALT) for Kunitachi. The elementary school teachers are cool, but that is where the ideals of 'education' as many in the West know it, peak. Jr. High teachers and beyond can be insufferably authoritarian and arrogant. I picked up my conversational skills by hanging out with friends who shared similar passions for fishing, jazz, or community activism (volunteer groups connecting with the marginalized). As a former college prof., I'd say that those who become educated in Japan tend to succeed despite 'educational' institutions, not because of them.

  49069. I have had really nice conversations about the meaning of life with patient native french speakers. I get what you all are saying -- I am not into the fake polyglot buuut I think it is nice to learn a little of a language of a country you're visiting as a way to be a gracious visitor and any bit of language learning can open your mind to different perspectives and lots of stuff. But this is different than becoming fluent - this is getting a little language so you can communicate politely. BUT BAD TEACHERS ARE NO GOOD:):)

  49070. The only concern is about the culturally appropriate way to speak with someone from the opposite sex. In certain cultures, as a foreign woman I already get too much attention.. and definitely I don't want to increase that. That is why speaking with women only is what I do of unsure of the situation... How is it in China, apparently chatting to men as a woman is not seen a no-no?
    1
  49071. Your best skill is your willingness to make mistakes. You are skilled with two languages, but you don't worry that you are not perfect at them. That's what holds many people back, I'm sure. I was in Shanghai once and I was afraid to even say "Ni hao" because the person might assume I knew some Chinese. There should be a stopper word to indicate "don't expect any more than what you just heard."
    1
  49072. I've missed your videos so much! I've seen some creepy places, and that village was not one. It looks amazing! A urinal in the women's bathroom doesn't really creep me out either oddly enough. It's more odd to have a sink that looks like a urinal imo. Thanks for the video Oriental Pearl!

  49075. Amid the lockdown, here is my answer to your question. I do not know much about Japanese. But a famous textbook on Japan says that if you speak Japanese poorly, people there will compliment you, but when you speak really like a native, they will feel a bit uneasy, as if you knew too much. Probably this feeling is not uniquely Japanese. When it comes to your Chinese, here are several random comments. First, your spoken Chinese is really good, and sounds more standard than at least 90% of Chinese. Second, when they see you are a foreigner, they are even more impressed. After all, not too many foreigners can speak that well. They meet you under normal circumstances, which adds surprise. If you appear on TV, people will be psychologically prepared. Third, you sound more like a broadcaster than like an average person. If it is hard to understand, you can picture me speaking "ladies and gentlemen" in a deeper voice than my normal voice. You can google American billionaire Jim Roger's teenager daughter, who lives and studies in Singapore and speaks like an anchorwoman. Fourth, your nice appearance and personality matter. If you haggle with them, they will not like your Chinese much. Finally, the Chinese would reply "哪裡, 哪裡/where, where?". Americans would say: "I do not know about that." They are the exact same thing. So they do mean what they say, and say what they mean.

  49083. You speak in a way that sounds congruent like you are thinking in the language you are speaking- I can imagine that you can construct novel sentences and possibly embed poetry through metaphorical verbs for example. While others who claim to be polyglots sound like they are simply using rote memory to speak. For example you will notice that the conversation revolves around one theme only and that's how they learned how to speak the rigid sentences that they are limited to produce "how do you speak..?" I learned it from duolingo or pimsleur or whatever". I have done this trick working as a concierge for 10 years with international guests "what do you have planned for today?" "we would like to see the harbour" " sure I can help if you like.. take these directions..etc". When I worked for the hotel I got better at these predictable conversations, but I could never create a novel sentence. Now, I'll suggest something more deep. I have family who do not speak English, and I also cannot speak their language, but I can understand them and they understand me on multiple levels. This suggests that language is co-created which means language is a social construct not an individual construct. I'm writing an essay on this and will send a link when I'm there.

  49085. I don’t know any Chinese but I love watching these kinds of videos! Honestly a video about a thesis paper would be very interesting!! Things that were Easy to conceptualize in English but difficult to express in Chinese! Or rephrasing sentences because you have to be more formal in a paper! Idk it’s all fascinating for sure

Now on to tonights episode.... that pigs ear looked like pepper strips! LOL really enjoyed the banter with the camera and your roomate. i think you are also getting to a point where you should let the store owners know that youd like to feature their establishment on the channel. it may lead to free food, a discount or better portions! :) Stay Safe (the high five in the car was a little cringy. sadly thats the world we now live in)

  49118. I'm glad that you're thriving in China and Japan. It is sad though that other foreigners can find it harder to live there (especially in Japan). People of color and other Asians (like South East Asians) are looked down on in Japan. I have a lot of college classmates who work as ESL teachers and agriculturists there and their stories are mostly sad. Ofcourse it's not your fault that they like white people, and it's nice that your footage aren't the romanticized ones I see in YT.

  49121. I came here long ago for the language learning but wane off a bit after the fad was over. Now that I’m realizing this a channel dedicated to showing her actual life in Japan I’m back in! To be honest what kept me watching from time to time after I was a bit done with language videos was An herself. I really liked this video and the nugget of info about how the chocolates are returned on the wedding day was super cool. Whatever she chooses in the future as her job, I hope we get to still see her life here and there.

  49198. Anming, I remember in one of your older videos, you mentioned how it's polite to downplay compliments, as just saying Thanks or I know! can be seem as uncouth. Is this till the current culture that you find or do you see that younger people are more influenced to accept the compliments? If so, do you think you could mention this in a future video about cultural norms you find you have to navigate when switching to different languages or encountering different people?

  49216. I really want to visit and eventually move to japan, im currently slowly learning japanese and saving up money but a hiccup has appeared in the form of an injury in both of my knees. Dont know why or what happened but all of a sudden both of my knees have started to cause me a lot of pain to where standing up just to brush my teeth is a struggle and has put a halt to me working.

  49230. My first week in Japan we were out looking for a restaurant and got lost. Then some old guy shouted at us to come over. He then proceeded to introduce us to a group of young adults having a hanabi (cherry blossom viewing picnic). He didn't know them at all. He didn't know us at all, but he told both groups to make friends then walked away. It was cute. We shared snacks and tried to talk to everyone, but we all knew we were only in town for training and probably wouldn't see each other again. Children LOVE to sing the English songs they learned in class. I have a lot that run up to me in grocery stores and just start singing. It's cute, but also... I'm not your sensei. Don't make this weird.

  49231. You are an amazing lady

  49259. Reading the script, then casually slaps butt. 🤣 Aside from the prank or shocks videos, we get to see a different perspective about Chinese and Japanese people and their culture. Admittedly, I had bad impressions and prejudice towards Chinese. Mainly because that's the impression we were taught since childhood plus all these recent incidents. But that changed thanks to you and other genuine language YouTubers out there. Now I'm interested in learning Chinese. Coz quite frankly, they're everywhere! I might even meet good friends! And yes Filipino here living in New Zealand! 🇵🇭🇳🇿 Thanks for the advices. Hits home and a slap to my face 😆. It's fun knowing survival phrases here and there. But yeah, gotta chuck other languages in the back burner and get seriously good in Japanese.

  49260. I love your videos. I am currently studying Japanese. I would like to enter my university there, so I am studying now to not face obstacles in the language at that time . 💙🌈

  49261. That is a creative and entertaining idea you have, Miss Alyssa, a lot of people (mostly children) like R2D2 so much in the shopping mall.💖 And I love Star Wars so much. (Star Wars fan here)

  49262. now u have ever live in china n japan. where would you prefer?

  49263. Chinese people say 'I'm impressed'. They acknowledge it's a very difficult language to learn.

  49264. The Japanese didn't mind... but Disney might ;) would have been cool if when he was eating he had that little arm that came out like when he met Yoda in the swamp on Dagobah...

  49272. Wow how did you learn to speak chinese and japanese so fluent? I‘m trying to learn both languages as well, but I feel like I‘m not gonna bring it really far lmao. Do you have any advise?
    1
  49273. I love natto. Restaurants have changed so much in japan on the last 10 years. Before you couldn’t really modify items or ask for special sides. But it’s pretty much changed at the more easy going establishments. If someone delivers me eggs or naizou I just send it back or don’t touch it.
    1
  49274. Excellent video! Yes, more like this please! As for the language, We know your amazing ability to be pretty fluent in Japanese, but I have always wondered how you are at writing! If I’m not mistaken the Japanese language is made up of three types - Hirogana, Katagana and Kanji, the last one being some 50,000 characters borrowed from the Chinese. You mentioned writing on social media for your company - how proficient are you? Do you write in Kanji? It would be an interesting video. Keep ‘em coming !

  49275. Omg I cried just like I was there! I'm so happy for you both!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  49281. I guess it's not too surprising that a business would want to return their customer's wallet if they came across it. Still, that was really nice of her to run after you. I hope she didn't have to run too far.

  49288. Buen día señorita, cierto es que muchos tal vez no se suscriban porque solo ven a su canal como algo casual, le sugiero enfocarse en un tipo público o lo más viable escoger algo interesante que comentar durante su video más que mostrar reacciones de los que la oyen hablar en otro idioma, incluso el público más enfático puede ser el latinoamericano, por ahí podría estar la respuesta a su petición de suscriptores. Yo me he suscrito porque ud. me agrada y sobre todo por que comparto el intereses que demuestra en sus videos. Don't worry, be happy! XD.

  49296. Hey Anming. Hope you and Toby are doing well. Such interesting fashion they have in Japan. Very colourful. Anyway. Here's something I found on Wikipedia. Take it easy :-) . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Japanese_in_Metro_Detroit

  49297. I understand what you mean. I also believe that there are a lot of people at the end of the day who will have your back covered. You have that type of energy that inspires protection.

  49300. Kids will be kids, no matter where they're from. They really do say whatever is on their mind (even if it can come across as rude). But, as always, you should never expect children to have the social skills an adult would without being taught as they are growing up.

  49301. Beautiful blue eyes girl!!!!

  49302. Another great video OP. As you say, certainly not shy. 😁 added your insta.

  49304. Thanks to inspiring individuals like yourself I've started learning Chinese this week. Any tips for westerners wanting to learn? Thanks for being so great by the way I really enjoy your vids, you seem genuine and kind.

  49308. M'am if you learn spanish and french (cause you speak chinese, english and japanese) you'll be able to communicate with almost all the world lol!
    1
  49309. Congratulations on your engagement! May you be blessed with many wonderful years together!
    1
  49310. Main reason is that a vast majority of time you won’t be able to teach English. Instead you’ll be told to stay in the teachers lounge/back office and stay there until the end of the day even if you have no prep to do. Such a waste of time.
    1
  49311. I git to kearn chinese in 9th grade and im so scared and nervous i dont wanna fail. I could know 3 languages. English, Vietnamese (my race), and chinese. I also wanna learn japanese but i dont know where since my hig school im going to only do chinese and i wish they had japanese but can anyone tell me why most school have chinese and not japanese
    1
  49312. I do disagree that polyglots are rare. I've lived in West Africa where it's fairly common to come across people who speak 7 or so languages very well, however that is embedded in the culture of the region.

  49317. woooow its really interesting... as my mother tongue is spanish we commonly use "r" and "rr" so its quite funny try to say the hardest words as if i wasnt a cat purring xD jajaja..... but more interesting, as a german student you have to pronounce each word using a strong accent... and as you compare each language you realize that both chinese and japanese are quite fluent, that feeling in your tongue is sweet and wonderful. I love it.

  49324. 日本語が本当にお上手。発音も綺麗ですね！

  49325. Seems like your Chinese is more fluent since you started to live in Japan, you made their day. When I was in Paris one year I spoke more Japanese than French because I stood in line at the museums and chatted with Japanese tourists also in line... it was so funny, travel from America to Paris France to speak Japanese.... nice video, thank you for sharing. ところで、笑っている時可愛いね！　声も好きです。　ビデオを作るのは上手になっているね。。頑張って下さい。

  49346. I don't know what it's like now, but when a friend asked someone in the government once about her dual citizenship, she was told, "Just don't tell us about it." This isn't legal advice of course. I looked it up out of curiosity. I did find this: "United States law does not contain any provisions requiring U.S. Citizens who are born with dual nationality or who acquire a second nationality at an early age to choose one nationality or the other when they become adults (see Mandoli v. Acheson, 344 U.S. 133 [1952] )....While recognizing the existence of dual nationality and permitting Americans to have other nationalities, the U.S. Government does not endorse dual nationality as a matter of policy because of the problems which it may cause." However another source said, "Japan reinforced its strict stance in January when a court upheld the country's ban against , rejecting a lawsuit filed by Japanese citizens living in Europe."
    1
  49347. "Foreigners are perceived as quite interesting in Japan but very scary at the same time" That Is very true! As someone who wears modest religious clothes I experience a mixture of more Japanese people finding me scary then when I talk to them they're very interested

  49358. I like your new place, your workspace is great. I'm guilty of watching without subscribing. I'm now part of the 9% now. Wow, I bet with those prices, your old place was rented fast. I live in California, and real estate is also really high. I was lucky to have bought it at a great time. My payment is comparable to the new rent on your old place. Renting a 1 bedroom has skyrocketed to upwards to $2500.00. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!! 🎉

  49373. I haven't left comments on your videos for awhile. Since all your videos are awesome and super inspiring, so that I have a question in regarding to helping others on language learning.. I am learning Japanese, an absolute beginner, so will you be doing live stream on youtube? I'm sure there are many others who are just like me, want to learn Japanese..
    1
  49374. The 老闆娘 seems like a nice person. Yes indeed! If I were her, I would rather choose Taiwan than Japan, but for studying, traveling, and working is still ok to be in Japan. Because the living cost is too high there, including medical expenses I believe it is similar to the USA, lol.

  49396. I remember visiting Harajuku when the "street scene" (for lack of a better term) just started. I think it was in the early '80s ... though could have been earlier (had been there throughout the '70s too). Initially it was, I think, mainly guys with Elvis pompadour haircuts doing 1950's impressions of rock & roll ... but the girls/chicks were there too (appropriately dressed) come to think of it. I recall seeing Weird Al Yankovic with a camera guy filming the scene there ... I think it was mid-80's.

  49407. Actually, natto is great. It looks awful initially, enough to make you gag. But you get past that quickly and it tastes great with the mustard and soy sauce included. I have it regularly now, every week or two. It also has amazing benefits - it's the only thing medically proven to protect against dementia. Also removes plaque from arteries, reduces blood pressure. Amazing food

  49409. thanks for the vid . i think people want to learn more practical stuff rather then learning about abstract vocab and making their language spotless or perfect ; i do understand that ; but i think as you said some people out there are certainly faking it to a very grave point

  49439. Generally when people make horrible hateful comments for no good reasons, they're just jealous, really don't like themselves and have too much time on their hands. They need to get a life and learn how to love themselves (I'll pray for them, haha!). Remember you have 479k subscribers who enjoy your channel, me being one of them. Big hug!

  49452. Im american and have only ever been to Canada or Mexico as far as leaving the country. And both were years ago when it was safer my brother in law owns property in mexico but its kinda in a sketchy area. Always cool seeing peoples reaction to the us for the first time lol, Back in high school we had a lot of foreign exchange students and one of them was from eastern europe from a former soviet country and walmart blew his mind he just went into walmart and about cried cause they had everything in one store and because clothing was cheaper and etc. Another foreign exchange student was born in sweden, grew up in china and spoke fluent chinese and was staying with one of my teachers to go to high school, it still is crazy how many foreign exchange students we had at my high school which was a small school in the middle of nowhere in a farming community.

  49466. In the beginning of the video I was like, "Oh my god, she's speaking Mandarin." lol. I'm still learning it. Looking at her facial structure you can tell she's Japanese; maybe it's just me. I've been around various Asian cultures and some of the time I can tell by their facial structure or the language they're speaking. Being mixed myself it gets easier to identify sometimes. I remember watching Yuta's video about Japanese learning English; some of the people he interviewed mentioned that having an American English teacher is better, because the pronunciations sound more clear than having a Japanese teacher.

  49468. Some people share from the heart, others from the ego. As you are sharing from the heart, you shouldn't even be concerned about others, as the "public target" might not be the same.

  49473. For as long as I watched you know. One thing I have noticed, your laghter has converted to the style of laughter most seem to laugh like over there. No matter weather you speak english or Mandarin, or any of the others, you laugh in a form of, I would call it a laughing shy giggle, you can feel the urge for you to want to put your hand up to your mouth. I got a talent for reading or studying people and their behaviors, I think thats why I like watching your videos so much. There such diffent behaviors that come into the different cultures. I could never be so reserved I fearvI blow up like a balloon,lol. As I said I do enjoy the content you share, all the way here in Minnesota 😮. 😅 🎨 Dee Jay Donnie D 🎬

  49485. My parents taught me to eat everything in front of me... only cutting off fat and bones from meat was accepted. No exaggeration. If I didn't eat it all, I had to eat it for breakfast. no exaggeration. I was still copping that treatment when I was 14 (the last time I recall it happening). Of course, now I can eat anything but yeah, I quietly gag in some situations... probably the worst situation has been badly-cooked liver (correctly-cooked liver is fine), and some really rotten tofu I ate in china once. Actually, I don't like okra much cos of that "line" of stuff that slimes behind the mouthful, like nattou. If I can mix the okra in with a bunch of other stuff, like in gumbo, it is dilute enough to be tasty. For years, when I was a kid, I couldn't enjoy rolled oats (porridge) cos of the texture. The taste is good but the texture was problematic. I used to hate raw fish until I went to Japan with a HongKong national friend who is also a bit of a gourmet. She made me eat good raw puffer-fish and salmon and now I'm a convert and can't get enough of it. So, I conclude I should always try the best quality version of a food before dismissing it.

  49498. "Don't they all taste of milk?" - Exactly what I was thinking. But then I wondered if there was some confusion between milk and vanilla. I'm probably wrong, but I always considered vanilla to taste like concentrated milk. Might just be my confused palate though.

  49499. Culturally appropriate responses to Chinese people praising you can roughly separate into three categories: 1. Denial. "哪里“ (lit., "where") which means "no way", or "没有" which means "not really." Make it sound casual (e.g., by repeating the phrase quickly "没有没有"), or it can be rude. This is most appropriate when your ability is nothing special, and the other person is clearly just being nice and encouraging. 2. Half acceptance. "还可以" or “过得去", both of which mean "it's just passable." This is most appropriate when you're somewhat confident about your abilities, but you downplay it as a sign of humility. 3. Thank the other person for being nice. "谢谢过奖了“ which means "thank you for such a high praise." This is most appropriate when you're clearly amazing, so you accept the praise to avoid sounding disingenuous, but you don't focus on your own accomplishment, and focus on the fact that the other person is being nice instead. This is probably the most confident way to respond to a praise in Chinese culture, which is similar to the most humble English response "you're too kind."

  49507. Great video, thanks for making it, very encouraging, fun and cool! For people getting started learning Japanese I recommend learning it using romaji, it's much easier to remember words and you can use it to start speaking to people immediately! Japanese is a level 5 language in terms of difficulty according to the Foreign Service Institute, meaning it is one of the most difficult languages for English speakers to learn. I attribute this entirely to the writing system! I think the spoken language, using romaji, is probably a level 3 language.

  49508. Another good video Oriental Pearl and you are so right if you don't make Japanese friends there in Japan, whats the sense of being there. When I lived in Okinawa I made a lot of Japanese friends and had a Japanese girl friend.

Homelessness is nothing too be taken lightly or made fun of. You're doing a great thing by showing us that this problem is worldwide and effects others harder than some. Thank you Oriental Pearl for this knowledge. Now it's up too us too see how we can help.

  49518. The Chinese language is difficult to learn and the Chinese know about it. So it is not surprising that they are praise you. I am Russian and I know that Russian grammar is very difficult for foreigners. Therefore, when I hear a foreigner who speaks Russian well, I also praise him.

  49527. Hello Anming. Hope you're well. Really cool vid. Can't believe how many scooters there are in Vietnam. Anyway. Do you know how the city is preparing for this Covid 19? I'm sure there are far less people on the road and they exercise much more caution since the outbreak (we hope). All the best to you and the family. Stay safe :-)

  49528. Random fact of the day - I once saw a documentary that showed simple village life in a quiet part of Japan, The people there lived extraordinary long lives, remaining healthy and active - even riding bikes over long distances - when well over the age of 100. Their secret? Eating that purple sweet potato every day. Scientists analyzed it and said it was a true superfood - far more nutritious than regular sweet potato!

  49529. Japan has a fascinating Catholic history, and it's as long as North America's Catholic history. And there's an amazing cathedral in Tokyo. Maybe you'll get married there? Meanwhile, I think you have had great luck in meeting your fiancé. He's a wonderful man. You are quite a star, yes, that's why we love you and why you have nearly 250,000 subscribers. But he's also a star too.

  49530. I just discovered your channel this weekend and have binged on all your videos. You are really inspiring with your attitutde to culture and learning languages. Congratulations on your wedding and yes I would love more videos on japanese working culture, or just japanese culture itself. I was in tokyo in Jan 2020 (just before covid hit) and found it fascinating but really wanted to learn and understand more about the culture but really wasnt able to.

  49546. Japan has always been a more open society than Chinese that will change soon. I also believe that Chinese have a different perception of foreigners. If you have too much self pride your amazed when some one else surprises you. Japanese people are also learn it people they know that many things are possible. That is probably why countryside people are more surprised than city people. Country people do not have that kind of multi learning culture like city people.

  49568. Morning Oriental Pearl, hope you are well? Do you prefer China or Japan to live in, cherry blossom in Japan looks wonderful.👍

  49569. One thing I discovered for myself is that as my Chinese gets better, people pay less attention. It's almost as though they just want to make you feel good about yourself while you are starting ... haha. Whatever the case, your chinese is great and gives people a real reflection of how chinese people react.

  49570. Good luck to the lovely couple

  49571. How long did you study a day to get to your current levels of Japanese and Chinese? I’m attempting to learn Thai right now, my mom’s Thai and my dad is Chinese, and I can’t speak either. Eventually I want to learn Mandarin too but starting with Thai. It’s so hard 😭

  49578. "Cartoon culture". Seems like you turned into the wrong section. Not all manga are like that. But some of the ones you pulled out are either funny or has a decent plot. Just like music, specific genres resonate with specific people. But understandable if manga in general isn't your thing.
    1
  49579. Ohhh godzilla soda 2:15.

  49580. Your mom is so fun. She so proud of you. Tommy has his mama's features. But his papa's sense of humor. That was comical when papa kissed mama. Papa seems like he really may want to America too someday. Family future vacation.

  49581. What a sweet video ran across your channel recently. Been binging videos. Noticed you said you're Catholic and it shouldn't be that much different in Japan other then the language. I'd guess right?
    1
  49582. As someone who is learning foreign languages I love watching these kind of videos as it encourages me to study more. I don't know why other people hate it.
    1
  49583. I REaLlY want to learn Japanese
    1
  49584. Wow she dont get manga? And living in japan... so you realize what you saying? xD (Japan mostly known for the big pop culture otakus etc.) But hey its fine...your decision...
    1
  49585. I think taking one picture with a person is fine but if they want to take a photo of you like only you it is very strange for me 😅 Love your videos and congrats for soon reaching the 1m!!
    1
  49586. This is one of the best long videos I watched, and felt short 😅 so, I want to say 2 things: 1. No wonder YouTube keeps recommending me JJ videos, I’ll watch it now 2. I related to this video topic, even as a non-American. Been interested in Asian languages and culture draws an undesired attention like you mentioned,the stereotypes, that’s a global thing but somehow it’s ok to follow American culture.
    1
  49587. You welcome I like your video so much
    1
  49588. If you changed the tittle to something like "how you avoid COVID-19 three times in a row" explicitly, i guess you will get crazy amount of views soon!

  49594. I love watching these. I recently went to the Catholic world youth day in Portugal and used Mandarin, Cantonese that I've learned for a long time(as I also have attended a Chinese Church for over a year in order to learn in a proper environment), and then some Korean. And I met with tons of people from all these places and spoke to them. They were soo happy, I made tons of friends and I got so many gifts 😃

  49612. I think theres a lot of butt hurt from those who dont enjoy these videos. To make content they need to destroy others content and its sad but happens. Wouter and Anming, keep doing what you do. As a father, it makes me proud to see u try. My kids want to learn japanese becoz of u.

  49620. You’re such an accomplished adult I swear I would love to be fluent in another language than English. Just gotta study hard!!! Just a question though, it’s just sometimes when I try to speak another language with someone I get anxiety over how I say things or pronounce words, worried I might accidentally say something offensive. How did you overcome that?

  49629. Love your videos keep doing it. And I am also jealous as I am dating a Japanese and I can't speak that fluently 😭. I want to be a polyglot too currently learning Japanese. I hope someday I'll be social like you and speak Japanese fluently.

  49630. Absolutely beautiful! Hope you two stay happy together forever 💝

  49631. Is it always older men who ask you out on a date/dinner in Japan? Btw, it is super weird to see older men hitting on young women/girls, in my opinion.

  49664. Not to self- diagnose Myself or Anming but I think she has an OCD for language learning and I have an OCD for watching her videos. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    1
  49665. I haven't seen all your videos so I'm not sure if you have addressed this - are people uncomfortable with you not wearing a mask? It seems like 95% of people are wearing masks, you being a white lady not wearing one would make you stick out even more I think. Has anyone ever asked? Do you think you should start wearing one to "fit in" more? Do you not wear one because of the videos?

  49673. Super interesting topic for your thesis! I wouldn't be surprised if it is a topic that is pretty well covered already though. Thanks for sharing.
    1
  49674. i reeeally love your videos, anming! your commentary is so much fun too! i was surprised you consider that conversation routine! then again i can't really be a good judge of if it is or not since my mandarin skills are low LOL i should give up trying to find more taiwan focused mandarin courses ;-;

  49677. I’m an Indian and as I believe that Japanese people are coolest people on the earth 🌏
    1
  49678. I've had quite a few interactions with Japanese people whilst as a tourist and honestly it was mostly them making the first move. My secret? Riding a motorbike solo 😂 people are more willing to make that first move like that. Of course if I didn't know any Japanese then I wouldn't have made the friends I have so it's always worth learning even a little bit. Kids are funny. Often the younger ones just stare at you so I just look round me like "Who, me?" then wave and they wave back
    1
  49679. I’m an 18 year old young man and your videos give me inspiration to go out and achieve my dreams of travel!

  49683. This is so fun to watch wtf
    1
  49684. Bonjour Mademoiselle, I mean very interesting as like you to will be fluent in Chinese. I can able to speak Japanese too. But I think it's much better to speak both Asia languages for the business and of course to live in Japan or China. I think it's more difficult to get a work visa now with pandemic if you speak just Japanese or English. Now Asia people would like foreigners who is able to communicate with their own languages. And of course most of them Japanese companies are leading by China so that why Chinese languages are so many important for me. And I like Chinese character sometimes is similar with kanji but the meaning is different.
    1
  49685. This video left me with a big grin on my face. Those interactions were too cute! And the motivation, every time I finish watching your videos I put in an extra quick language study to my day. You're great!

  49695. 中国語は1mmも喋れないけど、日本語はそもそも発音が簡単な上に抑揚とリズムが適当でも通じやすい言語なのに対して中国語は発音上の規則が厳しくて適当にやると通じない印象しかないですね。

  49700. Turns out American small talk was a useful life skill after all.
    1
  49701. Also, those polyglot business people are pretty busy and may not have as much time as other polyglots to create content! Often with polyglot videos as long as they speak at about a B2 level non speakers seem to think they are speaking fluently in languages they do not know because it appears that way to someone who does not speak that language. If the woman in the video said that she spoke at a native level I would of presumed its true and I even know some basic Japanese expressions, common words and verb conjugations. Probably spending about 50 hours or so learning this language so there are a lot of fraud polyglots or at least polyglots who overstate their language abilities.

  49702. A friend of mine had a similar experience in rural China. I think one guy was so surprised, he cycled into a lamppost.

  49704. It’s really sad that videos get exploited that way on other sources. People are hateful even though the video sends out a positive message. Keep on doing that you’re doing, collab with others. I love those a lot.

  49718. Actually ,when you speak Chinese ,I ,mentioned, your voice's tone and the pitch are different too, you sound like a native Chinese female speaker 👏When you speak English your voice becomes different from the Chinese voice .... If to turn off the video and just listen to your voice ,it will seem that two different people speak ..... It is amazing how you have been adapted and integrated with their culture as if you are a part of them too.....You ,indeed ,is a big part of China and Japan maybe that is why I love your videos ,because you are a Chinese and Japanese and an American in one person , it is so unbelievable !!!!🤩🤩🤩 In your videos, everything flows in harmony and in balance ..... You sound as if you were born there and raised there !

  49720. Hello 👋. Enjoyed the video 😃. Hey, your channel is almost up to one hundred thousand subscribers 🎊. Early congratulations 🍾. Everyone says that the Japanese population is shrinking. When you travel to the countryside, do you come across any towns that have many abandoned homes & buildings?

  49728. Every video makes me smile because of how you genuinely love to talk to people. On the whole I hate prank videos but somehow you get away with it!

  49729. still very interesting, even for Germans

  49731. More please 😍😊👍

  49732. Your like me, liking obscure remote places. Everyone tells me you have to go to Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia in Asia but Myanmar is truly off the beaten path. The popular places are now all westernized and expensive full of people from India/Europe/Australia/New Zealand that its hard to keep to a budget.

  49747. you are amazing. I would have taken easy and watch series and tv shows with subtitles, as i did with english until i can understand without them... Btw, how do feel if suddenly a phone app appears that can translate anything from any languaje to any other while talking, just using AI? It's not far in the future...

  49748. You make excellent content so a PR person whom specializes is Visual content should be a big hit with these companies you represent. Plus you have the unknown tangent of promoting too a vast World audience which will inevitably lead too the companies you represent adding more gains. Excellent job but I imagine quite demanding. They have the right person to get er done though.

  49750. I hope that you're boyfriend isn't unhealthy and possessive. If he is, maybe you are better off without him. Just as a general rule, I don't know your exact situation, just want to look our for your happiness :) Love your channel by the way!

  49751. you have such a lucky life! i envy you! Stay happy.

  49752. It would be interesting to know the personalities and attitude toward learning languages of the people who are offended by those videos. When working overseas, I could tell within five minutes of meeting a new American employee whether they'd go home fluent in the language or not. The people who learned were naturally friendly and gregarious and enjoyed sticking their necks out with strangers with their imperfect, developing command of the language. And everyone helps them — the toddler in the house, the popcorn man, everybody is happy to help. The people who developed no proficiency fit an old proverb I once heard: "The easily embarrassed don't learn." It's easy for me to imagine such "easily embarrassed" people nowadays hating on the gregarious ones who take the risk and try.

  49756. The book is okay. A whole lot better than the movie, which was a yawnfest from start to finish and a complete waste of Audrey Tautou's beautiful acting skills.

  49771. 7:55 (In Crocodile Dundee voice), That's not craziness. 😉 You even had the space to stop and take photos with strangers. In 2019, there were at least 5 times that many people in Shibuya. The police were non-stop shouting "keep moving, don't stop" to their megaphones, and it took minutes to walk over the Shibuya Crossing (it was car-free zone that night). Shibuya Center-Gai main street was equally full; after progressing 300 meters in 30 minutes, we diverted and escaped by walking to the Shinsen Station.

  49778. You can say these people are forgotten and invisible but you bring warmth wherever you go with your infectious positivity. Coming from Detroit helps but though the garbage and tents are reminiscent of the worse of San Francisco and should be addressed by the government, there are mostly older forgotten people from what I see. If I go here it will be in the daylight.

  49784. I have been learning chinese since the beginning of quarantine. I always over analyze sentence structure which then causes confusion for creating basic sentences. My tutor always tries to help me but I feel like I'm stuck on this struggle bus with no end in sight. Did you have this problem when you started to study Chinese? If so, at what point did it finally click and were able to look past this nuance?

  49790. Keep it up
    1
  49791. I totally get your point, though I think the majority of people just look for having a normal conversational skill or just be able to express simple things in order to travel or to say "I know Chinese", and I totally understand that people who have been mastering a language for years get upset about that kind of people because some B2 level folks are making tons of money out of it, that being said, if people start learning languages for these people and they have fun doing it (No matter what level they wanna get) it's a net good for the language learning community (IMHO), they will figure out themselves that the """"polyglots"""" level is insufficient in the real life and they will want to learn by themselves, and I think that is a good thing to happen, in conclusion, it may be right that there are fake polyglots such as (insert any clickbaity language video youtuber xd) but I think they are good for the community and good for the people as long as they are not charging excessive amounts of money.

  49792. Great job! Everyone was so sweet and kind. I felt slightly guilty watching as there were a lot of family moments. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage.

  49794. Doesn't make sense. Ethnicity and nationality are two seperate things. Many Americans are extremely mixed ethnicity wise anyways, so it's easier to just say American. Besides, why would you describe yourself as from a country that you share no cultural ties to (and probably have never been to), but your ancestors would have come from?

  49795. I hate your Job! It’s to easy ! Do my job for a day !

  49796. I am bilingual as I grew up with Italian and English language and I decided to learn french (almost 9 years) and Japanese (3 years). It is taking me years for both of them and I still don’t consider myself polyglot as I am not advanced. It is insane how people think they can speak different languages in only a week when at the end they just say some words. Learning a language is not that easy.
    1
  49797. I used to stock groceries at night at a store and we would finish at 6 or 7 am. Sometimes I would have a few beers after work before going to sleep. So I don't judge people that drink no matter what time it might be.

  49818. You guys are completely right! I have seen the so called Polyglots and they can tell their names, numbers and a couple of verbs conjugation and that's it, the worst part is that when they speak always goes the annoying Uh, uh, uh, that is telling you that they can't really speak the languages. In my case a prefer to speak 3 or 5 languages at a very high level and not 15 or 20 broken languages. Thank you for bring this up guys, lots of respect for both of you. In my country we have 25 different languages with a population of 17 million. That's why languages are very important for us. Greetings from Guatemala. 🇯🇵 🇺🇲 🇬🇹😎 ✌

  49822. another question..sorry lol I am curious as to why they keep saying that your Chinese is better than theirs when they are Chinese.(and their native tongue) Wouldn't that be like a Chinese (or any other foreigner whose native language is not English) person speaking english and us telling them that their english is better than ours?? lol

  49841. When I lived in Shanghai in 2010, there was a little supermarket I used to go to a lot and was friendly with the staff there. Once there was a woman in the queue behind me at the till and she was talking about me to the cashier in Mandarin (nothing mean, just wondering where I was from and saying how different my skin and hair were) but of course, the cashier knew I understood what the other woman was saying so we shared a lovely moment of cheeky smiles and raised eyebrows 😄 Another time I was hungover (looking dreadful!) and buying some noodles and overheard some Chinese school girls saying how pretty I was and that they loved my golden hair! Haha! Good for the self esteem 😄

  49848. I am very impressed. Where were you where people switch between Japanese and Chinese? As a Chinese American nobody ever complemented me on my English. LOL. I feel sad and ashamed that I barely know Chinese (Mandarin) anymore. I was born in Taiwan and moved to the US when I was 9 so I knew a decent amount of Chinese and was able to read and write. Now I can't read or write and I can barely speak it. I hope I'm able to send our son to Taiwan or China so he can learn the language and culture of my ancestors. He's a mix of Asian and Caucasian.

  49860. Accusations of appropriation is just another way for some people to make themselves look superior by putting others down for harmless imitation. You could also claim using chop sticks, speaking another language, or wearing hats or a hijab could be appropriation. Attacking people who wear Indian costumes is ridiculous considering I had to wear a foreign costume when I got married to a foreign national.

  49865. My native tongue is Navajo, and I speak English and have only 7 years of French under my belt. I would never, ever claim to be a polygot. Those YouTube channels are entertaining though.
    1
  49866. Nice video! :) Makes me wanna go to to the beach, but Shonan isn't quite as nice as the one you were at. Also, small tip for anyone reading: It's better not to point out you're doing a favor for someone when speaking directly to that person. For example, when you tell someone you'll teach them something, you should just say "教えます (I'll teach you)." instead of "教えてあげます (I'll do you the favor of teaching you)." The first way sounds more polite in both Japanese and English. ^.^

  49873. As a kid I wish I could have become a polyglot. It just feels like it'd be so useful to be able to speak with so many people! I am pretty good with Spanish, although I didn't spend a whole lot of time studying it. I did take some Japanese and became proficient at what I learned--but haven't spent much more time studying either. The world is so much more interesting when you can speak with everyone in it, IMO. If I ever have any kids I am going to encourage language learning and I hope they pick it up and stick with it!

I really hope your employer will be happy with this video. I may be a bit biased since I've never seen any of your video's that I didn't like. Now you need to find time for a half million subscriber live stream! As always I will watch this again to hold me over until your next video. Thanks Anming 7.

  49893. You don't need formal study to learn Chinese well. In fact you will probably sound even more fluent if you learn purely by immersion and some self-teaching.

  49902. That's really amazing. I studied Chinese in school and still suck so bad at it, but I can converse a little. I've been trying to learn some other languages by myself but it's really hard to stay disciplined, would you say that a course/studying it in a school is much better?
    1
  49903. Hello...you have a new sub! I just happened randomly onto your page. Love it...

  49904. I like your teeth

  49905. Why not motivate others?!? I'm from America, the land where everybody knows we're English only! I think most Americans either don't feel the need to or are afraid to learn other languages.... But for me, it's my passion! So i learn them... Currently, I'm fluent in Spanish and French... My Spanish isn't perfect but i get compliments a lot for both my French and Spanish from native speakers... Mexicans are specially surprised and shocked that a gringo like me would speak their language so well.... Personally, I do keep it to myself but just because others don't doesn't mean we should judge them.... Currently, I'm learning swedish i enjoy it and yes I'm making a lot of mistakes and saying a lot of stupid things but that makes it even more fun and exciting!... If you're interested in learning another language just get in the water is warm, make time for it and have fun... But if you're not interested that's ok....
    1
  49906. People keep telling me I have a gift for languages, too, only bcs I was raised bilingually, learned English by myself (scholar education was pathetic) and then a fourth tongue for reasons of xenophilia towards the hispanophone world (the entirety thereof). At work I get frequent requests, how many times I had to clarify that I know only to speak the four, but somehow in their heads that already is an unimaginable number. In hindsight, I can only confirm that in the process of learning the grestest impediment was my ego and a false notion of my superiority. Humility is of the essence when you are a student. And since life itself is the greatest school of all...
    1
  49907. 😁👍 You're very nice

  49908. He looked uncomfortable to high five lol. Great video though!

  49909. I studied to become a translator. I had to take French, English, and German. Got my degree about 8 years ago but haven't really spoken French and German since. According to my degree, I should be proficient in those languages. Last summer I went to Germany on vacation and the guy at the hotel told me to speak English because my German was bad... 😅 I guess it's safe to say learning a language at school or over the internet isn't a guarantee to become proficient. Best way to learn a language is to learn it in the country people speak that language.

  49912. Thank you for uploading this video. I am studying Japanese in Japan and I am taking the JLPT N2 exam next month. I am really stressed out and feeling stuck with my Japanese level. Today I spent the whole day studying in the library but made little progress. I feel motivated again, thank you ❤

  49938. I ate some breakfast's very similar to that in Taiwan. Like you, I'm not really a breakfast eater but my friends are three meals a day people. My friend can read and speak functional Mandarin Chinese but when it came to choosing sometimes it was basically look at pictures and hope it tastes good. I found that most of it was tasty even if sometimes I wasn't fully sure what some it was. However, I'd just eat one good meal if I had my way with a snack here and there to fill any hunger gaps. Like you said one has to be a bit adventurous, but biggest problem was that same name didn't necessarily mean you'd get exactly same thing. Great video cause it took me back to what my friend calls mom and pop shop dinning.

  49976. Also tricky, I was in Surin Thailand (fairly rural), I dont speak much Thai and I didnt have a decent translation app. I sat down to eat at a local family restaurant. after eating for a bit I was feeling pretty ill... trying to explain that without causing offence and explaining it wasnt the food... learning more thai, getting better apps. :-)

  49977. Which language is more difficult to learn, English or Chinese? When I was teaching my children to read, I was so frustrated. English is freaking crazy. IMO. I know a little Japanese. And that's easier than English. I would like to learn Chinese, but it sounds difficult to me.

I’m sorry your friend ghosted you but I am glad you shook it off and made the most of it. I’m impressed you can get on a train/subway that crowded. It looked so uncomfortable. You are really embracing the culture nicely!

  49991. When we visited Nara Deer Park in 2018, in that exact same spot, a male deer tried to eat my wife's bag as well. I also learned something that no Japan tourism guidebook will ever say: There is just so much deer poop on the ground, there's a 96% chance you'll step on some, LOL. It's touching that your Japanese in-laws welcomed your mom so warmly. On my end, I'm aching to go back to Japan again after several years because of your videos. Japan isn't perfect and my country has a few things done better, but Japan will always be a second home to me.

  49995. It's so easy to talk to strangers in the United States. Everyone is friendly and opened to talk to you so I can't imagine people from other countries not wanting to start a conversation. I heard Europeans aren't opened to talking to strangers unless you're asking for directions.

  50001. Tommy is speaking ENGLISH very well now. This is Amazing to see you both visiting your mom and home for a few days. He can go to the bank and explain what happened…by date and time stamp along with you filming the process for him. However, we live and learn 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️‍🔥. I miss target practicing…it’s important to know how to shoot. My grandfather made me do it when I was twelve but I’m Indigenous Native American 🇺🇸. I loved watching your new episodes. I can’t wait for your Halloween and costumes will be fun. I remember your mom was dressed like I believe “MARIO” or was it “PIKACHU”. Tommy leaving to go back to JAPAN 🇯🇵 was sad.

  50004. I went to ASU back in the 1980s. South Mountain in Phoenix can be a very tranquil hangout. It's really neat how they offer Mandarin classes in the Phoenix public schools. I know in my hometown of OKC, OK..they've had a Mandarin program at my ol private school that they've had since like 2009.
    1
  50005.  @OrientalPearl  It is beautiful and huge too. Even at that time when I attended, it had in excess of 45,000 students. I think since China made its mark on the world scene in the past decade and a half...Mandarin Chinese has been the language that's taken on significant emphasis along with Spanish in the States.

  50029. May I say you are never lost...you just don’t know we’re you are lol. What you experience in Japan with men is not good , but sadly happens across the world.

Hope family are well back home. Take care be safe. 💕🇬🇧

  50039. I don't get that living in Tokyo because I'm Chinese and I blend extremely well with Japanese people. It's still funny in Japan where people don't realize that a lot of foreigners in Japan have a high likeliness to speaking multiple languages ~ best not to talk behind people's back :)))

When I was in a korean restaurant I order in Korean and the man who owned the restaurant asked me if my mom was Korean, the gag is the fact that I'm a black girl😅 I'm not mixed but I guess my eyes do look kinda asian haha Regardless, I took that as such a huge complement!

  50052. This is SO AWESOME! I took some German in second grade but we also learned some French. After that I didn't study language until High School. I went back into German, but that was a mistake. I did okay, but not really great. And I didn't have anybody to practice speaking with outside of school. I would have done much better to have listened to my Mom, and taken Spanish instead. Oh, well. The only thing I speak now is English. School was actually decades ago for me now, so I have forgotten most of my German language skill. :( You are doing great though! I know that immersion would do wonders for anybody to be able to learn, that's how we learn in the first place. This is so great! What an interesting channel you have! I'm subbed. I love what you are going for here. <3

  50062. What about bullying? I heard half-japanese kids are in the center of it. That's one of the reasons I would be really scared to have kids in Japan. I mean, bullying is in every country but a Japanese kid has a chance to not be bullied if he's not different, sadly a half-japanese kid is already born different (if you know what I mean).
    1
  50063. From what I've seen, a lot of Asian people are surprised when people who aren't ethnically Asian (i.e. not of Asian descent) speak fluently in their language. For eg, her speaking Chinese/Japanese. Like there probably aren't man, but there would be white, black, Indian and maaany other races who are from Japan, China etc and don't "'look" like they're from there. Like just cause you don't "look" Asian doesn't mean you're not from there or doesn't mean you don't speak the language

Thank you so much for being a big inspiration for me honestly, I started watching your videos before I even wanted to learn japanese, so far I've learned english and that was a nice head start for me (since I know how it is to learn a language from scratch) I'm gonna try my best and master japanese aswell and hopefully by time become even more fluent!!

  50072. Hi! Thanks for the inspiring video (and channel!). I’m 60 and purely out of self interest, and never having learnt a foreign language before, started learning Mandarin about 3years ago. Working full time shift work I have to admit, it hasn’t been easy. I passed my HSK1 last year and am making progress towards HSK2. Your comment about submersion in the language is so true. I wish I had paid more attention to my listening skills early on, it sounds ridiculous, but I thought it wasn’t worthwhile doing until I knew some words that I could recognise😄 I did however start learning Hanzi early on and find writing very therapeutic! Studying is not in my genes, so that has been a learning curve in itself! Looking forward to more videos 😉

I told him i was fluent in Sanskrit , Aramaic , hebrew , latin and Siberian Russian. He responded with " Really , that's incredible , how did you manage to learn all of those languages " I'm serious .  i felt so bad , that i replied and told him i was just kidding . 😂

  50087. I would think it would be more appropriate to say such if they ask you beforehand what you enjoy eating. That’s like getting a x-mas sweater as a present instead of what you really want. There is another level that’s just missing, and I wouldn’t force anyone to wear it when seeing these people, especially if it’s not to your liking.

I met my fiance from Twitter and he is from Northern Ireland while I am Malay from Malaysia. I love seeing interracial love or international love. It’s so sweet and cool how we have managed to move past the differences in culture and way of life and just let the love flourish.

  50107. Yankee was around before the Civil War. It was used primarily by the English to described the Colonist before the Revolutionary war. Probably used more in the New England states since that is where most of the population lived at the time. Which in turn was the cause for it to be used during the Civil War to described Northerners. But outside the US it means All Americans. Also walk around Manhattan and no one will look at you either. Everyone just too busy. lol

But here in the UK you can see examples of all the homeless people in your video speaking as someone who has been street homeless I remember at least two shanty towns that have existed in central London alone. I'm not trying to lessen the experience of these Japanese people just trying to say all of what you have featured in your video is familiar to me.

  50131. I speak English, Spanish and Otomi (the only languages I speak). I have been speaking all of them my entire life. I am NOT fluent in any of them. The concept of language fluency is a farce. If you're not constantly learning something new about language, you're not using it enough. However, have a conversation with me in any of those languages and you'll certainly get the impression that I am "fluent" in any of them. If you can hold a basic conversation with someone in a language, then you DO speak that language. Should you claim to be fluent if you can have a basic conversation in multiple languages? Probably not. However, out of the many "polyglots" I've seen on YouTube, not one of them claims to be fluent in all of the languages they speak. I can also write in 8 different computer languages. Am I fluent in any of them? NOPE. I never will be. However, that has not stopped me from gaining employment and getting paid to use those skills. To the people I was doing the work for, my skill level in any given discipline was good enough to gain their confidence in my ability to get the job done. Does that make me a polyglot? I don't know, nor do I care. I practiced a skill and used that skill when it was needed. I am also a "professional" photographer and video producer. I consider myself to be at an expert level at both of those things but I do not consider myself a "professional" in either of them because I know there's plenty of things I can still learn in both genres. However, in the 20+ years I've been practicing photography, one MAJOR thing has always stuck out to me... There are people who are better than me (much better) and there are people who are worse than me (much worse) and I always try my best to avoid calling anyone out. I don't know their history. I don't know their path. I don't know their goals. I can almost guarantee that none of those things are going to line up with mine. So, who am I to cast judgement? Sure, I could give you a very precise and technical dissertation on how depth of field is nothing more than a physical ratio that can be represented in an algebraic equation or how learning as much as you can about light is "the best" way to become a good photographer. But why? Why would I? Especially unsolicited. Being self-taught in almost everything I've done in life, I can tell you, if someone wants to learn how to do something (and do it right) they'll find the resources to do it. Everyone learns differently. Just my three cents (long ass comment)

  50162. How great was this??!?!!? You mentioned you did not start learning these other languages until you were an adult. Now that you are officially a YouTuber (on the bring on 10K subs, btw!) can you please make a "how i got here" life overview? Pretty please? :)

  50163. I lived in Japan for a year but I don't remember that many compliments on my Japanese even though I'm far from fluent. Maybe because I'm Chinese and there are a ton of Chinese living/working in Japan. Instead, people were more curious about where I was from. Maybe because it's rare bumping into a Caucasian speaking a decent amount of Japanese so there's a higher chance they'd give you the 日本語上手 compliment.

  50181. Awesome video! ... I'm kinda in the same boat as you ... I live in Shanghai but can't go back to the UK to visit family, because if I leave China, I can't come back in 😂 ... Who knows when the travel situation will improve, but I have a feeling it might not change until 2021 ... Anyway, being stuck in Japan is hardly a bad thing 😆 ... It's a great country ... so enjoy it while you're there! Keep putting out videos, they are very entertaining! There are some cool YouTubers based in Japan that I enjoy watching, such as "Only In Japan", "Life Where I'm From", "Paolo From Tokyo", "That Japanese Man Yuta" and "Asagi's Life" ... but your channel is unique as it's all about interactions with locals in their native language, so you kinda have that lane all to yourself, which is great! ... I don't think there are many foreigners in Japan who can speak both Japanese and Mandarin! 😎

  50201. I spoke Spanish before English when I was growing up. I was born in America but my dad is Mexican from Mexico and my mother is Mexican-American from the states. My Dad couldn’t speak English so my mom had to always speak Spanish because he never understood what she was saying in English. I had trouble when I started school because I understood what they were saying but I couldn’t speak back in English so in order for me to get English faster my parents had to speak English at home. Because my dad was insistent in learning English with me he refused to spilt both languages for me to keep both so I lost my Spanish growing up. I understood everything but I just couldn’t hold proper conversations regardless if I knew what they were saying. So when I entered Highschool I took advanced Spanish classes and regained most of my Spanish back. It kinda sucks because I feel like public American-school systems don’t try harder to maintain native languages when they’re so important when it comes to getting jobs in the future. But yeah I kinda feel like they kinda stole a part of my culture, like my mom says that I’m kinda Americanized? I’m in my early twenties and sometimes I get flustered or frazzled maintaining Spanish fluidly but you know if your born with more than one language in your household I strongly encourage you to embrace it and try to learn it because honestly it’s so important going in the real world and also yourself. Like I’m lucky to be able to speak Spanlish in my household without struggling either being a translator or being translated.

  50203. Just a comment on a much earlier video, re: compliments on your Chinese: genuine or flattery ? As a CBC (Canadian born Chinese, and not an ABC: American / Australian Born Chinese nor a BBC (British Born Chinese), I was expected to “know” Chinese, so the usual reactions to my attempts (rudimentary / survival level) were, “Why is your Chinese so strange / bad ????” This was my initial experience when I was in Taipei back in the 1980’s. However, my Caucasian colleagues (American and European) received similar reactions that you experienced, even though their tones / pronunciation were pretty dismal. One story I heard, was about an encounter in an elevator where my friend received the usual compliment as he exited the elevator despite him having said nothing. The funny thing was that as soon as the Chinese gentleman complimented him, he also realized that they hadn’t even conversed …. Awkward !!! I just stopped teaching ESL (B. Arts, B. Comm, B.Ed / M.Ed TESL), after 3 years at an international school in Qingdao because of ageism (work visa denied at 65). I would like to teach in Japan, but my age is again a barrier; maybe Taiwan or Vietnam. Two years ago, my “Newfie” colleague also received similar compliments as she attempted to speak a few Chinese phrases and trust me, her pronunciation was excruciating. I tried to explain our Chinese colleagues were just being polite, but it was an uphill battle. Your Chinese definitely surpasses mine (quite an embarrassment / and loss of face), but I admire your passion and tenacity ( do you have any Asian genes in your DNA ?), looking forward to your journey. Your video on the bilingual school curriculum in Phoenix was an eye-opener. If those students ever attain your level, they’ll have a great future potential. Cheers and stay safe.

  50215. Hi there, a hyperpolyglot here from South Africa. The lady mentions that these "polyglots" would (1) Struggle in academia (2) Be the weakest foreign student (3) struggle to do student presentations or talk about complicated stuff. Those are quite frankly, poor KPIs of measuring "fluency." Reason? Billions of people around the world are fluent speakers of their respective native languages but will still fail when measured against all 3 KPI's - because they are not well educated OR their respective languages are not used in academia OR they do not have industry specific knowledge. In my experience learning languages, fluency for each language must be divided into 3 domains: 1. Corporate/Academic Fluency - which can be in the field of accounting, law, statistics, physics, math, medicine, engineering etc. As an example, a lawyer, who speaks fluently in court will be less than fluent when explaining the outworking of an electronic circuit board of a PC, simply because electronics is not his/her field of expertise. 2. Colloquial Fluency - meaning no industry or academic specific jargon is needed or used. Just plain day to day language used by members of a community staying in some remote village. 3. Written Comprehension Fluency - This concerns Latin & liturgical languages such as Classical (Quranic) Arabic, Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics etc. Because these are dead languages, fluency is strictly limited to understanding written material in these languages with ease. Nothing more. While I admire you exposing these fake polyglots, who truly get under my skin, just tread with caution regarding what "fluency" entails.

  50217. Really, thank you for all the language advices. Have ditched all other other languages, was just to feel good and look cool. And have come back to Japanese to learn it seriously -- Listening, Reading, Writing. Speaking is the missing piece. Btw, do you recommended upgrading to a sub in HelloTalk? Unfortunately, there aren't any nearby partners where I'm at *sob* (maybe limitation on free version?) I wanna add another native language (coz I have technically 3 I'm fluent at) but you can't unless you're on sub. I don't mind the expense.

  50221. Hi Oriental pearl! I shared this video with my Chinese cultural club members here. (And again Detroit Michigan representation~~!) I wanted them to give some of their own 2 cents about the topic. My own feelings is that I know people often get criticism if they say they speak multiple languages, but can only speak basic things. However, I don't see why people should criticize for that, because the goal is for everyone to try and learn more languages besides the most common in the world English and Spanish. That's definitely not an easy task, so i would always feel happy to see someone learning even a little bit of multiple languages, especially if they never been to the country of these languages' origins. All in all, my opinion is we shouldn't criticize people for trying to improve their communication with others, just even a bit can improve communication.
    1
  50222. +Oriental Pearl I'm with you. I don't understand why people criticize in the wrong way other people and dismiss Youtubers who showcase their language knowledge. I keep wondering: what are they afraid of? what makes them not expose themselves to native speakers and culture? I speak 5 languages (and use them daily - for work and social connections), and that's what makes me keep going: improving, connecting, getting constructive critics, and getting to the next level. Go, go, Oriental Pearl. :)

  50227. I think these videos are great because they show that Chinese is a language that anyone can perfectly learn to speak fluently. It’s a shame that so many people with an interest in China don’t even try to learn the language because they’ve always heard it’s just too hard. That’s a lie! Most learners who are serious about it can hold a basic conversation in less than 6 months and extensively socialize after 2-3 years + a few months spent in-country. It goes really fast! Which is NOT the case for much harder languages such as Russian which requires years of training to be able to make a longish sentence without making lots of syntax/conjugation/declension mistakes. And granted you have thousands of characters to learn, but it’s not so different from English where the spelling has basically no rule and you have to learn by heart how to write most words.

I've seen Detroit, its about as bad as Chicago. Nasty, crime ridden cities..but then I saw u took him to the outer areas to meet your family. And what a beautiful family u have. Was his name Tommy? I think so, anyway, Tommy looks like he had a great time, all your friends and family treated him well. Lots of gift baskets and goodie bags. Next time take him to see Great National Parks, like the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Niagara Falls, Yosemite, Creator Lake, Oregon, San Francisco and take the ferry to Sausalito Island across the Bay for lunch with a view. San Francisco also has a tower with a revolving restaurant on top, where u can see the whole city and the ocean as it revolves around while u eat...great seafood...Also, there is The great American Fish Market in Seattle, Wa..and the town where Starbucks was born. Or go to Florida and see gatorland, and the Epcot center, or a Daytona race car race at the Nationally known Daytona raceway, or last week in October, the Fantasy Fest in Key West. ride horses along the beach in South Carolina, or visit the old, but beautiful plantations and have some southern food. Go to Madi gra in New Orleans, let him catch beads, ride in a carriage in the French Quarters, eat really, really great Cajun food.. I loved watching the look on his face every time he saw something or some place new, it was priceless. Makes me want to sponsor someone from Japan, just so I can take them to all these wonderful places and watch the fantastic smile on their face. Thank u for sharing this great video...hope to see more like it. .Come back to America Tommy, we miss u already .

  50247. すごい ! How impressive ! 妳太厲害了 !
    1
  50248. I think 95% of people who watch will simply be impressed that someone has the intelligence to speak other languages and watch the interaction and not really care about the intricacy of what they are doing, and yes you are correct Pearl we do love the shock impact which is quite pathetic to you but is a cheap thrill for us almost like when we watch a tv series, it is the juicy bit . There is an authenticity though between you who has studied the language and speak it at a high level and the gentleman who you are talking to, even though I do enjoy his input too I feel that if the conversation went a bit further it would probably go nowhere maybe I am snobbish, but he is still impressive just not at your level but still he is a million times better than me and his character is likeable I just feel with him that he is doing a bit where as you are immersed in your surroundings and language so there is a different. I agree If you don't like do not watch I also think the Stupid white guy title is ridiculous. How can anyone be upset about foreign languages being spoken, or moan when they see it on social media???, it is truly a wonderful thing, if anything it makes me feel somewhat inadequate but not so inadequate as to moan about it you people are like brain athletes even though that will make many people who speak foreign languages with ability and knowledge cringe, everyone could do with learning a new language it is truly a wonderful thing, jealousy???.

  50250. So happy for you, not Very often you see native English speaker who can talk fluently in another language. It's so good to know other languages, helps to round cultural edges. Best of luck to you in life 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  50251. My Japanese coworkers will compliment native English speakers as well and we all know that we're bad. For us, it's like complimenting a hair style or an outfit. We are accustomed to those white lies but not complimenting someone's English so it doesn't happen naturally.

  50255. So, Anming, now that you are a "YouTube celebrity", the merch must be imminent. Maybe you could merge a new niche, like Yakuza Biker/Lolita. No? Lol Seriously, though, thanks so much for your hard work, you are making difficult times easier, dissolving walls in many ways 🌸💚🐦💚

  50276. 4:40 the male actor standing next to you was a leading role from 我爱我家 which I used to watch every day when I was little 😂 the female anchor is not a very famous one in China atm but I still remember she used to host a TV program named 三星智力快车 which I used to watch when I was in secondary school (a weekly contest for high school students that was sponsored by Samsung) 😂😂 and I also find your Chinese pronunciation is even better than then - they should invite you back to the stage given you are now a Senior 中国通 😄

  50307. Interesting video! My favorite out of the videos I watched on your channel. Did you start learning Japanese with japanesepod101.com to get to your level? What do you think about it? Will it get me from absolute beginner to advanced? I started learning Japanese a few days ago with japanesepod101.com

  50311. Perhaps for most Asian people...it's rude to say that your chinese is just beginner or your bahasa (Indonesia) is beginner...they will apreciate your effort honestly has been talk in their language..also in Japan or Thai, Philippines, Vietnam..and so

  50312. I said it before...I think you are awesome. 👍🏾😄

  50315. As a former Marriott employee, I think it's a good idea for the series. It gives others who have a background in hospitality an idea of how it is like to work in Japan.

  50321. Morning from Aus thank you for sharing your commitment to learning not just Japanese but also Chinese and I believe Korean. At the moment I’m studying Japanese on line with a Sensei on Italki I’ve learnt a lot so far but I enjoy getting tips from people like yourself ,I was studying Chinese Mandarin but after one semester everyone quits so they have to cancel the classes once I get my basics in Japanese I’ll look at getting a Chinese language teacher on line. But now I’ll stick with learning Japanese as I’m planning to take a four week lesson course in Japan. Any advice on which language schools I should look at? Cheers Sam New Yorker Down Under

  50329. Great video. Very interesting how threatened Americans feel about global travel. Also your point about emersing yourself into a culture but not loosing your own identity is on point. I'm a regular visitor to Jamaica for 30yrs now I can't tell you just how many white non Jamaicans i meet who are culture hacking to the point of losing their own identity cultures. I never saw it as one of the other, I guess its that people think you have to hate one thing to adopt another, theres few folks who are strong enough in their own identity to just be a traveller and enjoy and be enriched but not have to rid themselves of their own identity. Great chat.

  50335. Pete I speak one of the Oldest Language in the world over 2000 years Old fluent plus 3 more one in 20 dialog's
    1
  50336. How true is this fluency phenomenon, as a native Romanian and Italian speaker, i have to say that all these so called polyglots are quite bad with both grammar and pronunciation (at least when it comes to these 2 languges). It's probably because they know it's unlikely to have native speaker comment over their ability since they have 5,10 more languages that these people wouldn't be able to judge (even if it's also going to be at a very low level).
    1
  50337. How much time it took you to learn japanese, I'm beginner, I started learning japanese just 7 days ago and do you have any recommendations on how to learn it easily and understand it properly?
    1
  50338. Thanks!
    1
  50339. I'll be going to Japan in the next month-and-a-half because I have friends and family there yet I'm nervous because I've never learned language so I'm doing everything I can learn a little bit more kind of spooky try something you've never done before
    1
  50340. Omg I envy you. Literally wish I could speak Japanese and Chinese. My Japanese is nonexistent even though I studied it for 4 years. Shame. Definitely could relearn easily.
    1
  50341. I guess most people don't cross the line from intermediate level to advanced level and therefore you can tell them everthing. I consider my English as B2, but stopped studying it years ago. And since four year I study Spanish and rushed very fast to a B1 level. After that the whole thing slowed down. Now I think my level is in spanish also B2. But I want to cross the line to the advanced level. And I realized that this very long way. You can't achieve that through finger snipping. Despite I read several books in Spanish I still have to look up words or phrases a lot. There is a barely one page which I can read and knowing everthing (regarding to Spanish). Long story short: I can't imagine to do the same effort for 5 or more languages. And I suppose that some of the fake polyglots can't do this neither.

  50342. Congrats! im soo happy for you bouth <3

  50343. When I was in Japan, I noticed that the garbage are placed beside the roads with those kind of blue nets. I've been thinking, what are those for?

  50369. It's one thing to know a language perfectly, and it's another thing to know a bunch of languages partially. Both things are equally awesome and interesting to me. I know how it is, if something keeps annoying you, so I kind of understand the hard feelings (although I certainly don't share it), but if it irritates one, one should try to simply look away and care about own stuff, the net and youtube luckily is big enough. For myself, Wouter & Co have been the biggest motivation and made me find pure bliss in learning languages.

  50374. Interesting to hear the pragmatic view on eating horsemeat from people who also ride horses, it is something you would probably never hear from a horse owner in the United Kingdom. I personally have eaten baniku\basashi but I do wonder if I still would eat it if I was a horse owner (I probably still would anyway because it does taste nice). Excellent to see your Yumi skills improving massively from your first try at Kyudo.

About the English school problem... my family is Russian-Bulgarian my older sister study first in Russian and in school when we move to Bulgaria she had a Russian class and the teacher was trying to convince her she is not translating correctly 😑.... but my sister was right. Still they called my mom to the principal cuz my sister "talked back" to the teacher. In a class of geography my teacher was saying all over Siberia all the 🌳 are small size... but I have photos of my grandmother that is born in Siberia next to super tall 🌳.... and the teacher just talk me to shut up and "I don't know what I talk about"... it is kind of fucked up...

  50407. So the chuunibyou cos-players for life still hanging on in Tokyo (that's what we called them back then) . Over in Yokohama on Sundays you could always go see and hear the Elvis Presley impersonators / cos-players enjoying themselves up and down the pier towards Chinatown area. Don't know if they still do this. Might be fun to check it out? Maybe? Anyway, thanks for the video! 🇺🇸

  50415. One time, when I used to have a part-time job at a Supermarket, we had a lot of part-timers in around winter holiday. Now I'm a full on blonde hair/blue eyes white guy, but for some reason the 高校生のバイトさん would often ask me "ハーフですか". I don't know why but I found that really funny. Right now I work a part time job as a door-to-door salesman for Meiji Milk. You can probably imagine, but I get a lot of surprised faces.

  50420. My brother has to overcome the opposite issue. His wife is fluent in English, but he isn't in Mandarin, even though it's my third language. I remember when I first met her family, I ended up translating between his in-laws and him. It felt quite surreal as a middle-man at times. Of course: When they went back to China without me, he copped a fair bit from the extended family.

  50421. I just discovered your channel! My dream is to speak three languages- like you. I’m jealous but I know it’ll take a lot of work. Okay ping to find an online tutor ☆ I can understand casual Japanese but speaking is difficult for me (°_°)

  50431. Oriental Pearl, it's a real pleasure to watch your vids. Thanks for sharing. I have a theory. It's not language related but in terms of experiencing different cultures, I think some of us are just naturally drawn to exploring and getting out in the world. I would even say it's something we're born with. I think some of us actually find a strange excitement in traveling to far away places alone. What do you think? Personally, I've been to at least 30 countries by myself and not once felt lonely or wished that I were with a bunch of my friends. Not saying I wouldn't travel with them which I already have but it's not a big deal If I don't.

  50433. And here I am sitting struggling to learn Spanish as a German... a language that is very related to mine and you just go around being so much younger than me and speaking mandarin and japanese fluently. What did I do wrong in my life? :D But for real, would you say learning either japanese or chinese is possible for older people (>30 y) without being in those countries? I cannot relocate since I got family and I would really like to learn either language in my life. Also what would you consider being more easy to learn, mandarin or japanese?

  50460. I was in Ogaki, Gifu, in 1974 for around 3-4 months. I had a roommate from there in college and I had studied Japanese a bit because I like languages. He invited me to visit his family there, so I jumped at the chance. There were people there who treated me wonderfully and other people looked at me as though I were an alien. When I would get out of a car (as the driver or passenger), EVERY TIME, a pedestrian would stop dead in his tracks (mostly guys now that I think about it) and look slowly from my feet up to the top of my head (I'm 6 feet tall) and say WAH, OOOOKIIIIIIIIII NA NE!. To the point that I would say it with them to try to make a joke out of it. It really does get boring after a while, though. There were other people who would touch my skin and even touch my eyelids to pull my eyes wide and exclaim about how they were colored (green). At the time, it really made me angry because I felt like they didn't think I was a human enough to be respected. And then I could write a list of the beautiful people I met and who treated me so wonderfully, starting with my friend's family and friends and Ohasensei who tried to knock some Japanese into my noggin most mornings, and his beautiful grandmother who fed me mikan one lazy afternoon at her centuries old house and told me about how much she hated war, despite the language gap.

So for someone as myself don't live in Japan or China, what would you recommend as someone who I guess, knows a little of basics to learn the language, I swore to myself this year I'd learn one or the other even if its just spoken to speak either one or the other at least a tiny bit fluent, any advice on where I could do it?

  50528. I have a story from when i went to japan in 2019. I think we were lost in tokyo at night(around 10-11pm). We followed google map to find the bus stop we need to take from. Im good at daily japanese conversation. But im really bad at reading kanji. After awhile, a grandma tried to help me. She asked me where do i need to go. And i felt bad for her since she decided to miss her bus to help us. So i kept apologizing to her. I said i couldnt read kanji well and we have no internet connection(i couldnt recall the reason) so we cant use google translate. And she said "漢字を任せて!" 😂 She really is a cute grandma. After she found which bus number should we take, she left hesitantly. Before she got into her bus, she decided to gave us a pack of caramel candy. She said something like "in case you are hungry" when handing me the caramel 😂 i couldnt recall how did she say it tho. I shared it with my cousins. I still keep my share even now. Well .. .i must not eat it tho 😂

I'm not sure how I came upon your channel but I'm glad I did because I'm going into anthropology for undergrad in the fall and I'm really, really interested in East Asian cultures, and I hope that I can learn Chinese/Korean/Japanese (although I don't know a lick of any of them yet I only know South Asian languages ) and visit those countries like you :) Thank you for being a new inspiration haha

  50532. I’ve been going through watching all your videos, and I love your channel! You do such a good job at capturing a normal day, it’s so refreshing to see. I live in the southern USA and I can’t believe how similar the people act! It’s so interesting, especially when you went to that stall with the men, it was so much like my hometown.

  50535. So true!!! When I was like 20, a group of Japan tourists came to visit us to a volunteering program and, my silly 20-year-old person that time, repeated a phrase I had learned while watching anime to introduce myself.... They all reacted as if I was really good at Japanese and complimented me a lot... after some years I came to realize that I wasn't good at all, they just said that because of trying to speak their language and the interest on their culture... Well, that was it! hahaha I felt so related to your vid xD Thanks!

  50546. Wow that's great!! I figure you would pick an expat over a local in Japan but I'm glad you picked a local as you seem to love Japan. I just can't understand why expats stick with expats only when travelling overseas. Getting a feel of the locals is the real deal and most exciting adventure... congrats!!

  50550. Anming, thank you for bringing back some very fond memories for me. I was sent to Shanxi province in the spring and summer of 1986 as a geologist/technical adviser in what is now one of the largest coal mines in the world. Thirty-five years ago, China was just opening up and westerners were rare. And rural Shanxi was an experience. The dirt clod sea that became a sea of flowers in spring. I made many Chinese friends and got by with rudimentary Chinese. I turned 30 there and I am 65 now. The house girls that cleaned our rooms were from extremely rural China and were teaching me Chinese and we were laughing when a Chinese friend who was very educated came by to play chess. He liked very philosophical conversations. After we went to my room, he told me that I should not let the girls teach me Chinese since I would have a very "country" accent . I laughed very hard at that since I am from West Virginia and I assured him that they were learning English with a "country" accent. On another note, I have heard you mention several times how your attitudes and opinions have changed and how you are open to that. That is a life lesson few learn. And China taught me that.
    1
  50551. Woah, I miss you so much Anming!😭 You will always be one of my inspiration in learning language. Congratulations! I am so happy for the both of youuu❤❤

  50552. Everyone goes shopping, but they do not shop in 3 fluent languages. On other vids. it's cool to see how your gestures and body language changes from one language to the other. The locals admire you...Other countries, particularly Japan and China, put so much more emphasis on education and intellect achievments relative to the USA.

  50559. While travelling in Japan I don't have enough Japanese to notice whether anyone is talking about me. However, I have a bit of German from my grandparents and have chuckled to myself as I've heard other travelers comment "This is just cheap shit" and other idle chatter in tourist hot spots. The funniest I ever heard was in a rural JR station without elevators and a rather portly fellow had just humped two huge suitcases up a long flight of stairs. Reaching the top of the platform, his face beet red and sweating he turned to his female companion who wasn't carrying anything, and said with supreme irony, "And now we have made another error." Clearly, it wasn't the first time they'd got the directions mixed up.

  50560. I think for guys it's pretty fine even if you talk to girls in a setting like this. It's all about context most of the time, if you approach girls around bars and clubs they are probably more likely to think you're just hitting on them. Though again if you're a grown adult like myself in my mid 30's you don't want to go approaching random schoolgirls as that is weird and will come off as creepy. It's surprising how many conversations I've had just by noticing somebody doing something interesting or a fashion choice I complimented. Complimenting somebody is a good way to break the ice and express common interests and most people will open up, regular hear the same as here where they express interest in learning English and Western culture so are glad to find a foreigner to talk to. Actually conversing like this in Japan is not that hard to learn or do. You'd be amazed what learning some everyday words and fitting them in the grammar will do. Once you get out of the books or the classroom and talk to real people you improve quickly in sounding more natural. Helpfully enough the less words you use to say something in Japanese the more natural you often sound lol. You notice all the time when people skip particles and words that explain the subject when the subject is already implied. In books they'll have you learn the whole thing which is fine but it's not how people speak casually.

  50565. It’s so strange I ran into your video here. The sensational language shocker videos come up for me, and I have watched them and enjoyed them, but they started feeling inauthentic the more I watched them. What is the value? So I stopped watching them. Thanks for telling me why it doesn’t feel right anymore.

  50572. The switching of the different languages does take some time to do! I could know in my mind what I want to say for example, in French, while I'm speaking Spanish, and then jump over to German (those are my three languages that I know more vocabulary with, and can be conversational at the moment), but it is a struggle to speak it out smoothly; but like everything else, it's practice, practice, practice!😊 Thank you for being so encouraging! It makes me continue to practice every day!🥰

  50590. One of the funniest Japanese English words is "hotchkiss" which means "stapler" in English LOL It comes from the name of the stapler company, much like we say "Kleenex" for tissue, or "Skidoo" for snowmobile :D

  50595. I mean I think it makes sense they cut out the uninteresting parts. I always just took it as an expectation there are uninteresting clips in all those videos, I doubt they’re specifically trying to hide it, they just want to make an interesting video.

  50596. I mean to be fair, Yankee can be a negative word when used by others outside the US. Like a Brit calling a an American a Yank.

  50605. I don't speak Japanese but have watched enough undubbed movies and anime and this guy is scary good. Even amongst foreigners who are perfectly fluent and have good pronunciation, there's always a distinct tone to the voice of a native Japanese speaker.

  50650. I buy corn in a package sometimes in Australia too (cos it is cheaper than buying the corn in the husk sometimes, plus it takes up less space in my fridge). The detailed look at the shelves and products in the store is interesting. I think photos and videos of the minutia of life give a better feeling for travel than views of major landmarks
    1
  50651. Wha ha! So funny to see you have groupies! I like you'r vids! Keep it up!

  50652. It's very interesting to hear Mass in Japanese!

  50653. One thing to keep in mind is that the more different the language is from yours the easier that it will be to learn it. I personally was able to get a comfortable B1 level of Dutch and then the next two years I was able to achieve a B1 level in both French and Spanish studying those both at the same time. Then after a year of living in Spain I was able to say that my Spanish was fluent. Also on top of those I have been able to pick up a decent level of passable Portuguese with only a few months of work. I definitely was say that it takes time to learn languages but it really depends on WHAT language you are trying to learn, for example after a year of learning Vietnamese I can hardly speak anything in comparison to the Norwegian that I was able to speak after months.

  50669. Hey!!! Let me tell you this!! I have been watching your channel for quite a while now. It's always been my dream to learn Chinese, and after watching your videos I have finally found the courage and motivation and drive to do it!! I have the basics; Pimsleur, Chinese class 101 and hellotalk! Your videos are FULL of valuable things, like joy and laughter and edification and much more! ABSOLUTELY FORGET what these other people say negatively about you! You've got hundreds of thousands of people why love and support you and SEE what your content truly is about. So keep up the great work. One day soon I will will make the big move and move to China (I live in Texas). You inspire so many people and there's nothing but good fruit coming from your channel. Those other channels that talk bad about you, they have bad fruit coming from their channel. They want to divide and criticize and scrutinize and scorn and belittle other people. It's honestly very sad cause they truly think they're doing the right thing. But anyways, keep up the great work. We love you

  50673. It’s not polyglot’s fault that people get shocked by how good they speak. It takes a long time to learn a language, of course everyone wanna show off their hard work. I show off my skill in English sometimes and it’s no where near being fluent.
    1
  50674. These videos are so wholesome.

  50682. Finally a sign that you are sometimes a normal human being Oriental Pearl, the forgetting of the purse made me chuckle . It must be all those languages swimming in your brain that make you forget the trivial things, although forgetting a purse is not exactly trivial.

  50684. I am a computer engineer and was planning to work in Tokyo for the long term.

  50690. I'm not really a follower of these sorts of channels...though I have recently seen a few...and they have been fun..but I'm glad you are having fun again and really the bottom line is everyone's voice has expression and meaning, whether its in English, Chinese or Japanese. !! In Australian...Prank it up Baby !!

  50694. I've tried learning languages and was only good at French in grade school. Do you think you have to have an excellent memory to excel. I mean you are very smart and went to university. I am presently looking into learning Korean. I'm not sure my memory is good enough.

  50701. Duolingo has some group events type feature that I think you only can see if you login through your web browser. I've never done an event but was searching the page the other day and with the whole covid business there are a ton of video chat events. I was surprised they even have Greek speaking events.
    1
  50702. The cringe part is when the polyglot just knows some phrases and then starts an awkward conversation. Yes, the native speakers are surprised but they don't know what to make of it since that aforementioned polyglot said something which isn't relevant to anything at all. Y'ALL KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT HAHAHAHA

  50710. You and some other channels inspired me to learn Chinese. I’m at a point where I can understand people which is crazy but sometimes I get nervous I won’t say the right thing back to them lol. How did you overcome this? Just keep speaking until you get better?

  50711. did you guys hire someone to drive or did someone rent a car in your group...so soothing and therapeutic to get out into nature!! omg that lady needs to let the dog be a dog and walk....he's not a doll....during christmas this lady brought her dog for a picture op at the Fairmont LOL and brought a brush to keep his hair in place. :)

  50726. Thanks for making this video. I was kind of wondering how good some of these people are who I'm watching. But you really didn't expose anybody, you just said there were some bad ones out there. I wish you really would have said who they are. I've been watching this one guy, Olly Richards. He seems pretty good, but like you said, how can I tell?? He does make it sound too easy, like learn Italian in 3 months, gives the 5 easiest languages to learn, etc. He actually has 2 videos of the 5 easiest to learn and they aren't all the same in both videos. So could you tell me if he is legit? I would really like to learn some languages.

  50727. The most down to earth and useful language learning advice I noticed online is from Stefani at Polyglot Secrets. Her very logical and common sense tips have helped me a lot in making better progress in Mandarin and Russian. What I don’t understand is that she doesn’t sell anything, and doesn’t ask for money.

  50734. Yes! That's the video I always wanted to see. Like I get it, I learned bits and pieces of different languages, but I won't say I "speak" these languages if I cannot at least somehow communicate in it. And for me as an avid language learner it was always frustrating to see (I speak Polish as native, English as second language and kind of conversational Korean). I felt people claiming that they "learned 5 languages in a year" sometimes was a bit discouraging, like I felt maybe my achievements aren't as impressive? But I did also always wonder, do they really speak all these languages or did they just memorize few sentences in each, but act like they are fluent in all of them? Anyhow, thanks a lot for this video!!

  50735. 8:14, that was awesome how you switched and they appreciated both dialects.

  50736. Sometimes cities get really bad reps for no good reason. I lived in London, I've been to Paris, I went to school in downtown Detroit. The reputations for these cities and the people in them can be bad. Unfriendly. But in reality I met friendly people in all of them. To understand a city you have to really be there for awhile.

  50746. I've only seen a few videos from polyglots. The ones I find fake are the ones where someone goes out and strikes up a convo with a native speaker but the questions are always the same subjects. What's your favorite food? What are you hobbies? And a few other simple sentences. A very small set of questions. Over and over with natives of different languages. They're really learning a few chat phrases and that seems to be it. If you told them to take out the trash they wouldn't know what you were talking about.

  50753. 日本語はぺらぺらです！And you were so cruel, the poor lady’s face froze when you spoke English to her, hahaha 😂 I personally experienced it many times, especially the hotel receptionist, when you ask something in English, they just look frightened, unfortunately I don’t speak Japanese that well.

  50762. I don't know if you're open to criticism but I'm gonna give you some anyway. You should look at the person you're interviewing rather than the camera. It was a good video though.
    1
  50763. I at least, want to learn something basic. When I was in HK I could fairly manage with English but most of the time it was pointing at stuff, LOL. In Korea it was a lot easier. Seoul people speak quite some English. When I go to Japan I want to be able to interact on a basic level and see if I can follow the next step in a convo. If not, tough but I hope that I can manage. I have some time to learn anyway!

  50765. What’s that game at the beginning lol

  50766. Well they loook normal with masks 😷 they are like ninjas we look like doctors and its pretty different since we wear always normal uniforms and clothes but the lady 👩 with damn kids accessories and hair like a mob made me appreciate that its always best to stay simple.

  50767. An ming, you're so right about needing to use the language with other people to make it stick. I've taken First Year Japanese three times, and it was a great help when I visited Japan. I found that no matter how awful my skills were, just making an effort brought out a lot of kindness from the people I met. I wish it were possible to get more face time with Japanese speakers. Its probably good to admit that I'm not going to be fluent. I just want to be able to get along independently. Though I love the language, my next trip is to Iceland. Finding it much harder to wrap my head around the sounds, but a challenge can be fun. Thanks for the wonderful videos!

  50768. Congratulations!!!! Is this a Catholic wedding?

  50769. Adding Korean to your repertoire would be a nice trifecta. Are there many similarities amongst Chinese, Japanese and Korean?

  50770. I dont need your chinese subtitles xD

  50771. You’ve literally encouraged me strongly to learn Chinese and Japanese

  50772. that's so impressive!! you inspire me to want to learn Korean and Japanese!!!

  50773. Excellent video! So much more authentic, not overloaded with some annoying music in the background, and those people just looking to be some kind a YouTube star! Keep up the excellent work! Are you others pay attention and learn something.

  50774. I think you are very inspiring. Keep smiling.

  50775. 122k subscribers now. Well done. You had 33k when I subscribed from Australia not that long ago, and your channel has grown so quickly I feel due to the variety of your topics, and an everyday person street view which you present. Nothing glossy just natural. You have not been uploading as much? Is your job keeping you busy? Cheers from Down Under Australia.

  50776. That's why it's not cool to talk about people no matter what, because you never know if they understand the language... Thanks for sharing, I love your videos. 👍👍👍

  50777. 谢谢你 - big thanks from "德国". I started learning Chinese 3 months ago and it's so much fun! I should have done this years ago. You're a huge inspiration.
    1
  50778. I love this debate... Its the "look at Me's" vs the actual people who know. So many times in my travels I have come across people who try to "help" only to discover their command of English was outshone by their lack of knowledge in Hindi and a few other languages. It seems that my appearance (western) gives them the impetus to chime in. Perhaps my bad but my gut told me there was a racist component to the "aid".

  50779. I can relate, a shutten room 😆

  50780. I grow up speaking 3 languages so it is a normal thing to speak more than one , but now I am surprised .... I never knew this was a thing .... to cheat people like this ...

  50792. Fun vids!! Maybe you mentioned it in a different video, but I noticed you don't wear masks. Is there a reason for that or is it so audio is clear for your audience?
    1
  50793. Random Chinese question! I noticed you translated, I'm guessing: 我知道了 as "I already know". I previously thought of that as meaning "I learned something new!", or basically, "I didn't know it before, but now I know" (change of state 了, I guess). Can it mean both? Did I have it wrong?

  50800. I'm surprised that you didn't ask the pair of girls why they were wearing South Korean school uniforms. Did they study in South Korea? Or is wearing South Korean school uniforms a fashion thing?

  50810. You ever watch YouTubers that got married and lived in China ? They sure have a scary story for marrying having kids and living there but still had to get out. Maybe you should go get you diploma and get right back on the plane. If that guy really loves you he should get out as soon as he can or just quit and get back to Japan. I'm just worried for you being in China. You've got a good life in Japan if your guy was there it would be perfect..

  50817. Just happened across your video as I'm considering my experiences currently doing the same in Thailand. I really appreciate the footage of you with your students. Great insight along with great memories I'm sure. Some people are born with the gift of wanting to teach students, others develop the desire and others pick it up because it's an option that sounds ok for a bit. Glad to see your perspective. Michiganders do have accents but it depends on how close to Canada (N or S in the state) they are as to how strong it is.
    1
  50818. I love these!!! Keep doing it. Suggestion: at the end of each video, teach us a word in Chinese.
    1
  50819. Thanks so much for this vid! I hope to study abroad in Japan in college and I'm considering applying to an exchange program in the future where I can live and work there! I started teaching myself Japanese a couple weeks ago, and I'm gonna save this to watch whenever I get discouraged lol!

  50824. Great vlogs! You must really scare/surprise some Japanize people with you honest openness , and friendly outgoingness. Because they are so reserved in general, Hahahaha fun to watch to how there attitude changes after hearing you speak there language. Why do you think so many Asians think your mother country is Russia? It cant be just your eastern European appearance? Can it? Anyway you are fantastic. Please don't let the trolls under your skin for one second.

  50826. After your fourth language they are all easy. But yeah, the first two foreign languages are difficult to learn properly. Choose the language you love most first.

  50836. I hate those people because people then see these guys and think the rest of us is just dumb or lazy for taking so long to learn another language. I only recently started saying I'm fluent in English and I was able to have deep discussions in that language a few years ago. Still didn't feel like I was actually fluent even though I probably already was. Spanish is my third language and while I can say stuff I'm definitely not even close to being fluent yet but I have the pronunciation down(for the most part, Spanish natives have complimented me a lot on it), am able to understand a lot both written down and spoken to me I just can't answer. I can easily fool someone who doesn't speak Spanish though because I sound legit enough. I could probably also cheese knowing Italian because I also understand that language quite well and the pronunciation isn't hard for me either. Same goes for Swedish, which I'm actually also learning, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch and a bunch of other languages that are related to German, English or Spanish. Pretty sure that's how these "polyglots" do it too. Just learn one language well and look into the others enough to be able to fake it well enough. Fluency to me means you can talk about pretty much anything you can also talk about in your native language and can read and write too. Before that you are just going through the stages of language learning from a beginner to medium level and advanced level.

  50839. I love all your videos! I moved here almost a year ago and I knew little to nothing about the country, the people, the culture, and the language. I have fallen in love with all the aspects of this beautiful country. I haven’t gotten a chance to travel past the Tohoku region because of COVID but I have traveled all over northern Japan and it’s so beautiful and quaint. I would have never imagined it being so peaceful because all I have seen is “city life” (Tokyo) on television. I would advise people to really see Japan outside of the city life like you mentioned. It’s really amazing and I have learned so much in a year :)
    1
  50840. Never stop doing what you love most!! You are simply THE BEST (sounds like Tina Turner's song, though)!! So, keep entertaining yourself, people around you and us!! I love when you keep switching between Chinese and Japanese, back and forth! You might not realize, but your whole persona changes in a matter of seconds! As far as I am concerned, I find it fascinating! I personally consider that as a rare innate talent! Keep uploading! Cristian/NYC

  50870. I worked as a translator and was certified by Berlitz to do Federal government deportation case for EOIR. Translation work is hard. The best translators speak in the first person as if you are the person being translated. Translations doin pretty much simultaneously. The vocabulary is really challenging.— specialized. I did medical and immigration translation work. Also cultural nuances must be taken into consideration. Not even discussing the written portion of language.

  50881.  @OrientalPearl  I was merely joking about the degree of boredom you allegedly experience in Japan. I certainly enjoy your videos and didn't mean any harm. 你太棒了!
    1
  50882. As you stood amongst those big buildings and spoke in such a poignant manner of the Tsunami it really hit home that sadly so many people simply did not stand a chance of surviving it, such a terrible tragedy. The noodle place looked fun if rather silly maybe the staff are just lazy?, then again how many staff do you need in a place that sends food down a long thin slide into a bowl?. As for that cave when you said you were going to see Panda's inside I seriously got a little excited but alas you were just joshing around, to be honest that little joke which i believed to be true was the only excitement i got, because that cave was so narrow and quite boring even though you hit your head a few times, LOL.

  50883. Oh my god you called him handsome, I bet that made his day.

  50884. I wanna know why your choice are Chinese and Japanese? You could choose some similarity of English style language. Obviously, following that way is easier for your brain ideology. Last but most important, I will subscribe this channel definitely and extremely recommend my friend your awesome videos, thx.
    1
  50885. Amazing! Have you got any tips on how to learn multiple languages?

  50889. The kickflip with the Tech Deck tho 🤘 But it seems like Japan doesn't do a lot for homelessness so I think shining a light on this is a very BIG DEAL. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do! 🫶

  50908. This is so fucking wholesome. I love it.
    1
  50909. I suspected this was going on.... after getting my daily does of polygots (i just love watching how they make native speakers so happY) , i started to notice patterns that indicated some of these 'polygots' only knew some basic phrases repeated parrot fashion.... some of the native persons responses were not understood and just glossed over with a response or simply talk over them to a sentence they've rehearsed and wanted to repeat... most of this is hidden with editing but it is noticeable after watching a fair few.... Oriental Pearl is clearly one of the authentic ones.... plus her tone of voice is just amazing ...

  50932. I would really like you to speak some German :) That would be awesome! You're truely gifted. I just speak my own language (German) and English (more or less fluent) and a bit of the neighbour country languages (spanish, french and greek). Non of them enough for a whole conversation like you do on you channel.

  50940. I spent several months living in Japan since I wasnt able to pay for Student Visa (I still cant lol) so I took advantage of turist visa being 3 month and extendible just spending a brief weekend in Korea. My experience as a former N5 (A1) speaker was quite diferent since last time I visited Japan as a total foreigner doing tourism with my ex gf. Starting with my own neighbourhood they are just awesome people, introduced me to lots of nice people I'm still in contact with. The butcher of the neighbourhood guided me home and even drove me there because I was completely lost. They completely made my stay a lot better. Also it depends on where do you go and what do you speak. For instance I have some story in a Soba restaurant in Asakusa. I wanted something warm and nice and what's better than traditional home-made soba? Probably only tonkatsu. So I entered a very very small and non-touristic soba restaurant. They asked me if I was alone. I said yes. Ordered a beer and they gave me the menu. Not only in japanese but made almost 90% of kanji characters. The owner was an old man, reading the newspaper. He asked me if I was having trouble and then I answered I was still studying japanese and there were so many kanjis I cant read. He kindly helped me with the reading, I ordered tanuki-soba, with little drops of fried tempura (freaking delicious) and when I finished eating then he started to talk to me again. It seems is bad manners to disturb someone while eating for that man. He asked me lots of questions starting with "how was the meal?" and the typical "where are you from?" very nice and kind old man. Also at my neighbourhood's McDonald's, in front of the station I have a quite brief story. Those days, those sundays you dont have anything to do and still have the "western chip" where everything closes on sundays and just say: I want some F*cking chicken nuggets. Also McDonald's had a special sale where 24 nuggets > 3$ or so. THERES NO WAY I'D MISS THAT OPORTUNITY. I was talking with my mom on the phone and she was very surprised of my "fluent japanese" (no, mom. its not true) and LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER ordering my food was there. A very nice girl said my number and I just turned my head to her and screamed THAT WAS QUICK! in japanese. It just came from my very heart to say it. EVEN THE MANAGER AND ALL THE STAFF BOWED AND SAID THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Maybe they're not used to anyone valuing their job well done. IDK. I have lots of small stories about japan but that's for another time.

  50942. That game they're playing reminded me of a very similar game that was popular when I was growing up in Mexico. The only difference is that the "spinner" toy was a lot larger, maybe the size of a small mango cone shaped and the top was rounded. Very fun, required good skill to do tricks and such.

  50949. just to tell you what i think about all this, i was lost in my life doing so sutpid shit without a sens and one day a saw the fact that i have always enjoyed languages and that i have always enjoyed learnning about other peopols culture, and watching videos like yours motivate a poor introvert like me to go talk in some japanese restaurants in Brussels to try and practice. Since a few time now i have been learning some languages and pursing into those fields in university and feel mor fufilled. Hope all of you are doing great ;)

  50954. There are two old fashioned cultural barriers: 1: Talking to strangers for no reason is seen suspicious. 2: When done by someone of the opposite sex, even more so. Luckily you are a girl so that probably eases things, and look foreigner too which is a plus.

  50973. Personally I like the videos where locals are shocked by someone who is obviously a foreigner speaking their language, and languages in general. It motivates me to learn and study. I speak only 1 language different from my own (Spanish) with any amount of fluency. It feels really good when you can help someone out by translating for them and helping them to get something accomplished when they don't speak English very well. Unfortunately for me in that regard most people Spanish speaking people who come here in the US speak English pretty well. I don't get to practice very much and I am losing that ability.

  50987. Interesting to see some commonality with the homeless encampments in California: blue tarps! 😂 I never would have suspected there are homeless people in Japan; the stereotype is Japanese society is so clean and efficient. Growing up in Brit HK, refugees from Mao's China built "hillside squatter settlements." They were quite clean and orderly with some creature comforts, such as pirated electricity! The residents were mostly employed and waiting for government housing. Thank you, quite an eye-opener.

  50988. There is a Spanish saying: "a palabra necia, oidos sordos" To the foolish word, deaf ears. Just keep doing your videos and pay not attention to those comments. and yes I'm too a polyglot and I understand the situation.

  50991. I like your videos. They're amusing in the most polite way. I was wondering. Is your polite way of speaking to people more your personality, or is it culturally part of the language you're speaking at the time, or a bit of both?
    1
  50992. I hope you do have kids with this nice man. It can be hard with a Japanese spouse in terms of culture clashes but it’s very rewarding when you stick through and beat those challenges. Ironic I’m also Catholic! Perhaps I’ll be able to get my little lion baptized this year.

  50999. Finally! It is so hard to find videos about business life as a foreigner. Most of the videos I have found have been about influencer lifestyles, creating your own business, making money without being hired by a native company, and other things of that sort. I am so excited to see this! Thank you!

  51001. I'm learning korean right now but watching your videos makes me want to start learning chinese as well but I don't think I have gotten my Korean to a place where I would feel comfortable enough to start learning another language especially chinese. Do you have any tips on learning 2 languages simultaneously?
    1
  51002. As a first generation ABC, I can’t even read or write Chinese and can barely speak the Fuzhou dialect. Heck, I speak Cantonese a little more from visits to HKG & family subscribing to HK TVB.
    1
  51003. I like the "foreigner speaking a language you wouldn't expect" type videos, but with one caveat: I don't like contrived conversations or "shock" conversations. Like someone walking up and asking for directions (that they don't need) in English, then switching to the foreign language and waiting for the surprise. Unfortunately he's dead, but Laoshu has a very famous video of him speaking to two Chinese fishermen in Mandarin and Cantonese. If starts off with him speaking English, then Spanish and finally Mandarin and Cantonese. At first, he goes for the shock value, but in the end, he's just conversing with them and one of them says he wants to be his friend. I like "normal" interactions, not contrived ones.
    1
  51004. The pathetic thing is that people who make hate videos like those are just desperately trying to leech views from the content creators they are hating on.
    1
  51005. It sadly doesn't surprise me anymore how low people will stoop to try and drag you down. It's like no one is happy anymore so they want everyone to live in misery with them. Keep being you!! You're awesome and inspirational!

  51006. She looks a lot like my little sister! Even sounds pretty similar (deeper voice though).
    1
  51007. Hehe you looked soooooo uncomfortable on that stage. And i'm guessing they weren't particularly warming towards you. Would I be correct in saying that someone with your competency in Chinese could do really well in China, business wise? If you don't mind the lime light that is, say as some sort of token 'white' entertainer. Or is this a bit of an older myth? Fun vids as always Anming!
    1
  51008. I am definitely a fake polyglot! I'm genuinely good at English and Spanish, but most of my other decent languages are dead (major limiting factor). But hugh-level fluency isn't entirely my goal, under most circumstances. I often have very limited usage goals — as potentially narrow as medieval ballads in Swedish, studying the hanfu movement in Chinese. Then again, I hardly represent myself as an authority in any language, except in terms of etymologies. I do not even call myself a polyglot, unless pressed. I am far more likely to self-identify as a philologist. It's far nearer a thing to what I do with the languages I study (plus, I have a degree in Ancient Sanskrit). But, no. At most any given language, I'm aiming to be a highly competent trainwreck.

  51015. Yes, quite fluent and both his English and his Japanese accents were also very good. Is he as good in various contexts? Political, business, economic, science, religion, royal, using various levels of politeness properly (e.g., sonkeigo and kenjougo, which even Japanese people sometimes screw up). That would be awesome. The Director of the Linguistics Department at the university where I studied was from Finland too :) (He spent a couple of decades working with languages in Nepal) Before him was an American from the midwest (who spent a few decades working with with languages in Melanesia) and now I believe it is a guy from Puerto Rico (who spent a couple of decades working with languages in Niger). Amazing world of languages! :D

  51019. What is always stressed as of greatest importance in business, relationships, and in general life? COMMUNICATION. These Polyglots demonstrate that it is not just possible to speak to people on their own terms, but that such attempts are well received. Talk leads to understanding and the finding of common ground. Not a bad thing.

  51021. Omg, i am Brazilian.. YouTube recommended for me your video. I like it.

  51022. Matt had a great point about natives simplifying their language. When I comment on language learning videos and such where there may be non-native English speakers present, I'm a lot more cognizant about the words I use and the complexity of my sentences. I agree and think Steve Kaufman is legit, and I think Luca Lampariello is as well. The latter put out a very similar video to this one, actually, about a month earlier. I still enjoy the "fake" polyglot videos, though, they are quite entertaining.

  51033. Oriental Pearl I lived in Bangkok and got to travel around the Pacific Rim for work and pleasure. I certainly didn’t master Thai as you have Chinese and Japanese. Locals always amazed and impressed when you speak their language. Certainly what’s happening has completed changed travel. Good luck with Your future

  51034. Thank-you for covering this topic. As you have reported, the subject and statistics concerning homelessness in Japan does not match the reality. This is, in some ways, not surprising to me. I attribute the under or no reporting of this subject as a cultural issue, in my humble opinion. Since you have lived in China as well as Japan now, I'm sure you have experienced in general, Asian cultures do not want to bring to light, discuss, or acknowledge anything that will bring a focus of "shame" to someone. I am aware the Japanese people of my generation, and older, would do almost anything than to" insult" or "shame" someone; as most other Asian cultures. The same could be said about the subjects of cancer and suicide; the reported numbers appear to be under-reported. I say this because I have had family members who passed from cancer or suicide but reported "officially" as having passed from "natural causes" or "unknown assailant". This issue is one that does need to be addressed but I'm afraid it will take a concerted effort and a couple of generations before something will be done about it.

Feel a bit bad for you that the male Chinese host just mishandled the introduction part during the hosting gig, guess he was not sensitive enough, nevertheless I admire your courage to be in such situation where you are the only foreigner, must be nerve wrecking.

  51090. Interestingly, none of those interviewed seem to be there because of substance abuse, which is dramatically different than here in North America. Substance abusers in the West congregate together to be closer to drug supply and because homeless resources are concentrated in central areas. For cities that rely on tourism, well meaning donations contribute to urban decay. A more logical strategy would be to put supportive resources into communities removed from areas where tourists would like to come.

  51130. Thank you for this video. I am a language teacher and the great majority of my students are not aware that language learning imples very hard work, self-discipline and iron will. They say nonsense like: I woud like to be able to learn Russian/English/Italian etc.. in 6 months. Well, 6 months??? Studying how many hours a day?

  51133. I've never been to Japan, but every time I see j-vloggers go into stores/restaurants they are always in the weirdest places.. like inside buildings (go up elevator down this specific corridor and third door on the right type stuff lol). I would probably give up looking for restaurants and whatnot because I'd be afraid of being in the wrong place. Like how that Denny's was up a flight of stairs and two doors. lol

  51134. I’ve tried learning Japanese but always get stuck on the written side of the language…so difficult to memorize the characters. I’ve been tempted to focus only on conversation via Pimsleur🤨

  51146. Technically I'm a polyglot cause minimum number of languages you need to know to be considered a polyglot is 4 I speak 4 [English, Hindi(I am not counting Urdu because it's like 90% the same) , Konkani, French , some north indian dialects (which I can only speak and not write)] learning more to be considered as a proper polyglot.
    1
  51147. Nice - I think others making these videos "enhance" the "surprise" by speaking English first, giving the impression they are total waiguoren, then all of a sudden in the middle of the book sale, they start speaking Mandarin - then you'll see more "surprise" than if you just just walk into the bookstore speaking Chinese which gives them must less reason to be 'surprised'. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Best wishes for your continued success. Daniel Léo Simpson Composer San Francisco
    1
  51148. How do you switch languages so fast? Is it hard for you? Or was it hard in the beginning? Sorry about all the questions but I have just one more of you don’t mind. How did you learn Chinese and Japanese before you left America? Did you start off learning there or did you practice here then moved out after you got the basics?

  51157. Some polyglots just learn the basics of the language like A1 or A2. I don't take them seriously because It's obvious they don't speak like 15 languages fluently as a native speaker or whatever. They maybe know 5 or 6, but 20. To me it's totally for entertainment and learn languages can be a hobby to them, that's totally fine. But the problem is when they say "oh, I am fluent in 15 languages, look at me, I'm a genius" I've already seen some polyglots like this but I also saw a polyglot that said "I am not fluent in 10 languages. I am fluent in some of them, but in other ones I just know the basics". Plus if you speak two or three languages you can probably tell they are not fluent by the way they speak, if they are comfortable or not...

  51164. Hi! I've seen a lot of your videos, I love them. Thanks for sharing it with us. I wanted to ask you; at what level should I reach in order to have a wide conversation in Japanese? I plan to make several trips to Japan with family or alone, but I would like to be able to meet people and communicate with them. I fell in love with their culture, that's why I want to learn Japanese. I would probably have to reach a basic level, but I wish I could go a little further than that. I am from Puerto Rico, an American territory, therefore I am fluent in two languages; Spanish which is my native language and English. We probably have more or less the same basis, which I would like if you could give me your suggestion on the steps that I should take. Thanks!!

  51165. Incredible fluent in Mandarin and Japanese

  51166. 我也会说中日英三语！ Oriental Pearlさんの動画みたことがないんですが、推薦からこの動画を拾って、何か自分得過ぎない？と思ってしまいましたww見たらちょっとえ？？になっちゃったけど、まぁ、そんなに珍しくないですね。 从中文换日文又换回中文，而且又流利又自然，真的好厉害！您说了自己还是复旦大学的大学生吗？是读语言系的吗？不过好像也说过日文是在中国的语言学校开始学的？ English is my native language too, but both Chinese and Japanese people also tend to be more impressed by the fact that I speak English than their own languages lol. That's also something that I related to in this video.

  51167. Would be fun to see y'all visit other US cities

  51168. Also the women who invite you into the Chinese restaurant are so sweet 😍

  51169. These two are awesome and people like them. I love people and wish I could communicate with everyone in their mother tongue. I hate that everyone has to learn English to communicate. I believe if people are willing to work hard to learn English we should be able to learn their language as well. RIP Laoshu who was the first person I got into watching about languages. He encouraged me to try and learn Spanish. Same with Xiaoma, Wouter, Pearl, Ryan, and more. Keep encouraging people to do what they love and interested in. People need motivation from others!

I love what you do; 7,100 others, think you are wonderful even on this video... it's like that everywhere, from youtube to the traditional workplace; some people love you or don't, and when they choose to practice poor behavior, it is really about them. Keep your chin up!! You are right, it's just not worth it!!! Hugs oh, and f*ck the trolls everywhere!!!

  51184. Oriental Pearl how long have you speaked this language or learned it, I really wanna learn a language but the problem is I’m not sure if the foreign language I’m about to speak is actually true or the right thing if like a website I’m looking at translates “hello how are you” to another language I can’t really trust it cause I dunno if that’s right??

  51185. Learning the language is the best way to experience another culture.

  51186. I'm studying nihongo right now, I thought it was gonna be easy since I have Japanese relatives but it isn't. I need a few more brain cells to understand Japanese grammar and Kanji. You are amazing, I hope to be in that level of expertise someday. Amazing content! ありがとうございます。Subscribed.

  51187. You have to look at it at their point of view some Chinese people never even seen an American especially American that can actually speak their language very rare for them that's why they wanted to take pictures.

  51188. do you have any tips on learning japanese?

  51190. The crazy cultures of the world.....Too Proud to Say You’re Sorry? In Japan You Can Pay a Specialized Agency to Do It for You. ... They have these ‘apology agencies’ through which you could simply pay someone to say sorry on your behalf.

  51191. If all human beings could be as genuine, beautiful, interesting, kind-hearted as you, I'd go back to liking people instead of just animals. Love your channel. Love your personality. Love you. BTW, I'm a french speaking guy, learning english and just beginning learning korean and spanish.

  51213. A very interesting video. Thank you🙏 I don't think I'd have any problem with this. I mean... if a person of another race spoke Polish perfectly. Of course, it would be surprising, because Poland is definatelly homogenic country. However, I'd probably keep it cool and find it nice.
    1
  51214. Oh what a wonderful find. I’m watching it for the second time right now. There’s virtually no one within earshot of you that’s isn’t totally blown away not just by how fluent and at ease with the languages you are but that you would bother to learn their languages at all. That’s what you’re seeing in their faces and hearing in their laughter and conversation. You cared enough about them to learn their language. It’s so endearing. I just find it completely awesome and refreshing. Keep it up

  51215. Fun videos keep it going :) I’m Chinese Canadian married to a Japanese wife. Used to teach English in japan myself

  51217. you are right, we often can't control what happens to us, but we can control what we do with what happens to us. Your videos are refreshing in a climate of fear mongering and anxiety. For me, my way of coping with the uncertainty is by reading about solutions in medical journals- You might want to look into the common medicines combined- Azithromycin+ hydroxychloroquine and the asthma drug ciclesonide. The first combination cured mild/medium & severe cases of covid within 6 days in a French study.

  51221. I think your fans should contribute to get you a 23 and me. Yes, you are an American from Michigan but I really wonder where your ethnic heritage lies. My actual guess is you have a lot of Norweigan/Swedish. It is so common in Wisconsin and Michigan.

  51233. You guys do you! People like it. If course some people are more classy and respectful than other but i only have seen people making connections to people in their language, I would say there is nothing that breaks cultural barriers more than that, you actually doing such a great service by inspiring people to learn languages. It definitely has inspired me!

  51239. Looks like an amazing school, it's just a shame they don't do longer courses so I could get a student visa to go there. I'm in a Tokyo language school and it's OK, but there is a lack of real-world conversation practice, and often I feel I could learn more on my own.

  51240. It really warmed my heart seeing you speak their language. It's like a breath of fresh air for them. You can tell they were super happy seeing a foreigner speak their language. I love your videos!

  51243. Heh it's much easier for people from my country to get a visa for China than Japan however I'm super interested in Japan and if not for covid i'd already be there teaching a bit and doing art projects on the side! I'm just sad I decided the same thing you did 10 years older than you were when your adventure started. Feels like I'll miss out on the young adult fun in Asia. Hope you find something fun in the future after grad school. I didn't feel my Masters made any change however I did notice it's more valued in Japan!

  51258. watching your videos has greatly inspired me on my language journey. I always look forward to seeing each one of your videos. For me Learning a language doesn't come easy,and I can often feel discouraged. But after I watch your videos,and I see how beautiful it is when you can communicate with people in their own language. It motivates me to keep on studying. God bless you! Your subscriber from India.❤

  51269. I’m also an American (non Chinese ethnicity) that has learned Mandarin for about 15 yrs now. Currently I live in the states, so perhaps the shock effect wouldn’t be as big as abroad in Japan. In my experience, some people don’t even bat an eye when suddenly speaking Mandarin , 但是因为我是美国的原住民，然后有的原住民也会长得像东方人，我觉得可能只是因为人会以为我是中国人。Btw both your Chinese and Japanese is really good! I also know how to speak Japanese but I have not lived there so it’s been difficult to become more fluent in it.

  51278. Are there common Japanese idioms that are used or slang terms? Like how in America we have slang terms like thicc(bigger girl that has the weight in her feminine curves) or on point(something perfect) or idioms like raining cats and dogs(pouring) or living under a rock(not learning what is normally common).

  51287. Your advice is so great!

  51288. Back in the day the rather uncouth males of American society would refer to women as, "Broads." It kind of make me chuckle under my breath when you say you've studied a "Broad." Of course you have. How else would you have studied? Right now you are probably safer jumping out of air planes than living In China. It makes me think that you must have a praying grandma or grandpa. I wouldn't even doubt if your dare-devil mom was praying for your safety and well being now with all the stuff going down in China. During your time in Japan, have you ever wondered why or how you now find yourself stuck in Japan without being able to get back to China? Maybe it's just God answering your grandma's or you mom's prayers on your behalf. I hope you're boyfriend is safe and dry as well.

  51299. I don't really watch a lot of polyglot videos, but I do watch a fair number of videos where the presenters are bi- or trilingual, and one thing I've noticed is that often the most fluent people have terrible accents. Just in Japanese and English, Sharla (Sharmeleon) has a distinct North American English accent in Japanese, but you can tell she's fluent by how easily her words flow and how quickly she can respond to others. In the other direction, I've heard Shibuya Kaho in casual conversation and both sides of interviews, and again you can tell she's entirely fluent by how easily she converses, even if her approach to the r/l problem between Japanese and English is just to pronounce both as "r." Maybe even because of that, since she's concentrating on what she's saying more than how well she's pronouncing it. Basically, I'd say the real measure of how well someone knows a language is how easily a conversation with them flows. It's hard to find a situation where you can naturally jump between more than two or three languages, so I'd probably automatically assume anyone holding conversations in 5+ languages at once had to do some prep work no matter what, so who knows how much of the conversations is scripted, making it impossible to tell how much is natural vs. rehearsal. And, of course, to remember that there's 2 channels with 2 directions each (not counting niche things like Pirahã whistling language) (spoken and written, production and comprehension), and a person may have different fluency levels in each. How much skill in each area do you need to be considered fluent? If you think reading/writing is required, how likely is it that someone can learn not just Japanese but also hiragana, katakana, and the rules and pronunciations for onyomi and kunyomi readings of kanji in only a few weeks? Or comprehending the insane spellings of Thai? (I don't know either; I've only taken the first steps in learning Japanese, and the only thing I know about Thai spelling is NativLang's video on the subject.) Or the weird and inconsistent spelling rules in English or French? In my case, I say I know two and five halves languages, because my German sucks and the rest of the halves are dead languages, so I'll never learn to do anything with them except read and maybe write. Well, unless I got a job with a church, since ecclesiastical Latin and koine Greek are still used by the Catholic and Orthodox churches, but those aren't the dialects I'm familiar with. Anyway, if anyone wants to know if I'm a polyglot, the answer is I only know two languages, so I'm bilingual, and I suspect something similar is true of many showoff polyglots.

  51300. I've been watching your videos and getting feeds on YouTube from you. I have always liked your videos, but wasn't a subscriber until I saw your post about losing subscribers. Also, wow!

  51312. New subscriber. I really appreciated this video. I thought that your interactions were genuine and not like some others that I have seen. The young man who cleaned your bag was so sweet. I will definitely look into the language app. I speak several languages, but I have always wanted to be more fluent in Japanese and Mandarin. I have a Chinese American friend that I took sight-seeing in D.C. He was approached by two older Chinese tourists asking him for directions. They were so surprised because I had to speak to them as he could not. The ladies were so sweet and insisted on giving me some Lunar New Year candies before moving on.

  51313. Congratulations!! Jeezzz i was crying of your hapiness

  51314. the only time I've used "apps" was to learn like basic grammar, not complex stuff but you know, at least learn how to do a basic subject-verb-object sentence, then just use dictionaries early on to find words, and slowly build up enough so that I can talk with people and pick up the rest of the language through practice and just asking what words mean instead of use dictionaries when I had enough vocabulary to understand basic explanations with maybe some dictionary searches here and there but it's not realistic to do that for every word.

  51328. You’re doing what I wished I had done when I was young—immerse yourself into a different culture. As a retiree now, I will likely never be more than a tourist. My grasp of Mandarin after thirty years of trying is decent but not fluent. I could follow your conversation for the most part. As an American-born caucasian, having been married to a Chinese woman from Taiwan for twenty-five years is the next closest thing to living in a place like Taiwan. I’ve been over there a few times, accompanying her on visits to see her family. We once talked about buying a place there and spending half the year there and half the year here, but never did. Now that she’s passed on, that option has no appeal to me. I envy you. And I enjoy watching your videos, chronicling your doing what I wished I had done at your age. Thanks for sharing. I will like and subscribe. Cheers.

  51329. Your accents are great, I bet you are good at karaoke too :P I am Slavic/Polish, but can be seen by people as Irish/Scottish/Russian depending on their stereotypes of white skin redheads, and lemme say, as a girl who grew 1/4 of her childhood in Italy it gave me a lot of those situations too 😂 And also I was taken for an Irish or Irish American in the USA, by tourists from my country, lol :D But also most of those were nice things or curiosity, apart from a bunch of dudes on a beach that were wondering if they could sleep with me and my blonde friend - I listened to them for some time and shut them down not even bothering to use Italian 😂

This was mid nineties and sadly my japanese has become a bit rusty. Large part of my japanese learning was with colleagues after work so my pronunciation may have sounded like someone drunk.

  51375. I mean in theory you could use it I guess if the shop owner travels often between China and Japan no ? Don't think it would be much of a problem just do a quick mental conversion or something and they can use the currency when they travel. I live in a country in Europe that doesn't use EURO but for example I remember one time I was rushing to the airport and had only euros on me so I payed the cab driver the fare equivalent in EUR plus a little extra for the trouble.

  51378. Subscribed to your channel because of this video. What a great story that came out from your heart (journey), amazingly, a piece of art.. then later on, i keep on watching all of your video, that’s when i know, i clicked on the right channel. Don’t stop would yea 👊🏻
    1
  51379. Why people do it: Because it's fun to learn new things, specially when you become passionate about learning about other countries, cultures, languages and traditions. Why tape it: To encourage people to learn something and get out of their comfort zone with that old idea of "I'm never leaving my country so there is no reason to learn any other language" excuse that way too many people fall for, learning other languages can leverage people's professional careers as well and it scares me how so many people seem to forget or straight up ignore this. How could anybody possibly be mad at this? For nothing other than simple jealousy, people who lack the will to learn another language, who instead of feeling encouraged by the ones who can learn many different ones, feel like they are flexing on them. I honestly have the feeling that the same people who feel so disturbed by this would most likely use such knowledge in a very different, and probably selfish way if they had it. They see someone's honest curiosity and fascination for other languages and cultures and most likely translate that into a way of becoming the center of attentions, and that's where I think the real issue comes from for these people, the total jealousy generated by their desire of receiving that attention. I know it seems like I may be reading too much into that issue but at this point in time, with the way people behave these days and the ridiculous things people tend to problematize on the internet, I consider this an absolutely plausible thing.

  51383. My native language is European Portuguese, I also picked up Brazilian Portuguese from watching telenovelas and talking to Brazilians and sometimes I blend the two. Anyway, the languages I safely speak fluently are Portuguese and English. I also learnt French at school but know little of it so I keep up this little knowledge by practicing on language apps and on websites. I have dabbed on and off with several languages because it’s my hobby and never claimed to know any of them perfectly.

  51391. I may be wrong but I get the impression that Japanese are quite wary of westerners. Your super language talent helps bridge the divide for sure. I find your vlogs fascinating.

  51427. It reminds me, one time I was in Italy in a restaurant (I am French), I was a kid and with my sibling we were talking about a British couple we saw in the restaurant. I was saying how I like British outfits because they remind me of Sherlock Holmes (I was a big lover of Sherlock Holmes at this time) and my sibling said that he/she found British people annoying and ugly. We were saying that in French of course but at a moment, the girl from the couple look at us and said to us: You know, I speak French. My sibling was so shocked and couldn’t say a word after that.

  51431. I think most people feel the same. I guess it's a mixed bag. On one hand you feel happy getting praised, but on the other hand, you know that they say it to almost anyone who can speak the language whether basic or advanced. But then, I realise I do it too myself! Totally not judging but I'm recalling your video of the Japanese lady working at a Chinese shop whom you thought was Chinese. Thought it was really entertaining to see you react when the tables were turned. Btw, when people comment on my Japanese, I used to reply the standard まだまだです... Nowadays, I'll just reply オッ、ありがとう！Takes some people by surprise - probably not what they expect to hear, but that's just me trying to be positive and giving myself a pat on the back : ) I'm Asian so it doesn't happen so often, but the 'Your English is really good' still gets to me though.

  51432. Hi ya, where did you snowboard? 綺麗で面白そうだから行きたいと思っている。　今青森県はすごく寒いでしょう。　Yes, knowing some of the language goes a long ways and enables one to do more and see more and enjoy it at the same time. (yes, some folks say they can do the same without knowing any of the language, but it's not the same).

  51433. Not a fan of the big windows going all the way to the floor, fear of heights! Congratulation on the new place though!

  51446. Haha I remember I went up to a small shop that sold special Sakura Tea up in Owara. What little Japanese I spoke I guess it sounded normal to Japanese ears, and I looked Japanese so when I told the lady at the shop I wasn't Japanese because she started chattering on about her tea and I couldn't understand everything, her face was like @0@ hahaha I then proceeded to play with her dog a little when, I assumed, a regular came by and they started sorta whispering (I could hear them clearly tho XD) in Japanese about how she was so surprised that I was a foreigner.

  51469. AWESOME ! 😂☺🤓😉😘

  51470. Their reactions are perfectly natural. Try to see things from their perspective. I don't look anything at all like a native from New Guinea. And I'm sure they themselves rarely come across people who look like me. But if I came across them and spoke their native tongue in front of them with perfect command, how else would you expect them to react? I personally wouldn't mind every single time they acted surprised because I get it. But maybe that's just me.

  51471. I have a fourth grade child in the US who wants to learn Chinese. I am not sure how I can help him since I only speak English. Any suggestions?

  51476. I know you've already heard it from everyone else already, but you're absolutely beautiful and you have a fantastic personality that keeps people like myself coming to watch your videos! I know everyone tiptoes around it because nobody wants to offend while trying to make you feel better, but there's nothing unattractive about a bigger or taller nose! I think you're perfect exactly how God made you!

  51477. Been watching you guys for some time now and I'm so happy to see Tommy's reaction.

  51478. I think folks like your channel because the 3 languages you speak is done so with a very high proficiency in each one. Plus, you keep your videos very real world like.

  51485. Honestly the reason citizens in places like Japan, Korea and China, may be surprised or feel excited about an obvious western foreigner speaking their language just has to do with history and the almost non-existent east and west language exchange outside of government,military and missionaries(all formal institutions). Actually if you think about it a lot, people from almost aby country will usually have degree of surprise, or interest when seeing another citizen speaking a foreign language fluently. Being bilingual by now you would think is already natural , but its not yet, that bridge between cultures and societies is there but still not strong enough. And for being an introvert, I always question why so many people claim to be introvert, its hard to answer since there is no one answer. However most common reasons are due to own childhood experiences or young adult experiences, basically experiences some social traumas. Then i feel another reason could definitely due to social media and everything being moved online. I often had friends that would be extremely talkative on social media, however when asking those same people to use their voice or talk face to face, that talkative person becomes a quiet mouse. You would think social media would help people spread their wings more and practice socializing more however it seems to almost be doing the opposite for quite a lot of people. Anyway, I never been an introvert so I can't give any advice, but I can suggest just try to go out more with your closest friends and family but don't let them always dominate the conversations really try to get involved. If you don't know what to say, changing the topic is always an option. The key word is to "try" that's what i think.

  51486. Congrats! Lovely ceremony, meal, hotel all of it looked great

  51487. I enjoyed your speaking native languages so much, Japanese, Chinese...that I did not realize what a goldmine you had in past videos. Loved meeting your families on older videos like this one.

  51494. Why does every other country assume that Americans can only speak English?
    1
  51495. I love it even when you act goofy. Many Japanese people DO NOT LIKE sticky beans. They say there are two kinds of Japanese people. Those who love it and those who hate it. My wife loves it and I will NEVER try it. It looks gross!
    1
  51496. Beaucoup de bonheur !

  51497. here in europe its kinda normal to know atleast a few sentences in a couple of different languages just because here you live so close clustered together and come in contact with different languages quite alot

  51502. You mentioned in an earlier VLOG, you hope to parlay your master's degree into a job with an automotive company. Those vehicles will be electric. Since you are stuck in Japan for more months and if you aren't familiar with EV buzzwords, you may want to study up on those topics to impress on your job interviews.

  51503. Omg so cute! I loved all of his reactions. I'm glad he could finally visit.

  51504. Personally I think the extra packaging is satisfying and orderly but then again it’s such a colossal waste that I can’t support it.

  51505. This is so cool, i don`t know why, but recntly i`m in love with people like u that speak chinease or japanese. And u don`t have to do anything more than that. Your simple day to day experience is amazing. it makes me feel more enthusiastic to learn another language. in this case i want to learn japanese, but first i need to improve my english =). greetings from Brazil!

  51514. I don't know much about the editing part but I like shorter vids, 10-15 minutes. This is good though so I'd say use your best judgement. Thank you for the video

  51515. Loved it! Both of your spirits are so joyful and pristine. I wholeheartedly enjoyed your interactions! Keep up the great content!
    1
  51516. Its good to watch long video to learn about they culture etc.
    1
  51517. I could watch any length video honestly. I find all of your content so interesting, educational and fun.
    1
  51518. OP, I am fine with it., Don't be afraid of the Length, all great things were meant to be longer: Freebird, Bohemian Rhapsody, War and Peace, etc. Although, I wanted to offer a different perspective of why an American might come to a foreign country to work there, with the prospect of working longer hours for less pay. Friends of mine with bright futures in law and banking decided to work and live in another country in the same fields for less compensation because they wanted immerse themselves in a new culture and to learn the language . Some permanently emigrated there. Before I came to hell, I worked and lived in Israel and South Africa. I learned the language, embraced the culture, and at times, visualized an existence there, perhaps not as financially secure as here but with contentment. I ended up coming back for Love of all things. I have Love and Money, but I am also in Hell, so there is the trade-off.
    1
  51519. Yes longer vids plzzz CAN'T GET ENOUGH of your INCREDIBLE Amazing content!!!!!! :)
    1
  51520. Thank you Ms Anming! You and Ms Katie made me day! I really enjoyed your sharing of your life in Japan and taking me with you on your little rickshaw tour. I look forward to seeing more of you both in future posts. : )
    1
  51521. Im enjoy
    1
  51522. I honestly think there is a trade off in the type of viewers you get at about the 15-20 minute mark, that hits most people. I would say 32 min (weird number is to include a short intro and outro) is the longest you should go since attention span tends to wain at about 25 minutes if the content isn't dynamic. Also I think this video's flow works well because of the short sections of interview that pull attention back every so often to engage the audience. Also I would look into making an 20-30 second card to add to the end of your videos to account for the auto-play popup. you can also use a small face cam recording to ask people to like, subscribe, and comment (you can also plug any sponsors here).

  51523. The longer the better!

  51524. Thanks for the videos do they ever play turning japaness in japan probably spelled it wrong lol
    1
  51525. You are having too much fun.
    1
  51526. If I'm engaged, I am pleased to watch videos of any length. I'd suggest that if you do any longer than 30 minutes, that you should also release short highlight clips, that may get more viewers to watch the full videos.
    1
  51527. I love your videos. I dont unfortunately have a ton of time to watch a longer video, so i end up watching half or so then coming back. But that might mess with the watch time??? Not sure, hope not though! 🤷‍♀️

  51530. So outstanding
    1
  51531. very impressive, I always been fascinated by the japanese language and culture. I know a tiny weeny little bit of japanese, not enough for conversation... I would love to learn for real. I also picked up an interest for mandarin recently... But I doubt learning two languages at the same time is a good idea...
    1
  51532.  @OrientalPearl  also, I know kanjis come from chinese writing, right? So since you speak both quite fluently, do you think learning Mandarin or Cantonese before learning Japanese should help me read Japanese a lot easier? I can (slowly) read Hiragana, but I'm very bad with Katakana, and Kanjis literally discourage me :(
    1
  51533. I've watched like 10 of your videos in one day. Your life is so unique and your interactions with the world are really ?interesting?fascinating? lol Keep creating content, it's such an amazing perspective you're giving. You're about to blow up gurl!

  51539. Hello, may I ask whether your Japanese, especially the Japanese culture, is mainly learned in English or in Chinese? Because I saw you said before that you also took a Japanese language courses in Beijing, then I guess it was instructed in Chinese. There are definitely HUGE gaps between Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. It must be extremely difficult for you to learn Japanese in Chinese (cuz I’m learning German in English as well). If you like, plz share some feelings about this kind of unique experience. 最近日本的疫情也越来越严重，take good care and wish you all the best!

  51567. It's too bad the algorithm discourages linguist youtubers from using more accurate words to describe the reactions they get. I'm sure if someone labeled a video "Foreigners PLEASANTLY SURPRISED when I speak ACCEPTABLE BASIC CONVERSATIONAL Chinese!" you'd get very few views because the algo won't promote the video at all.

  51574. At some point, becoming native speaker of any other lenguaje will be the goal of some and achieved by a few. Learning a second lenguaje will always begin with making tons of mistakes, learning from them, is what actually makes you to get better at it. As you always say... every free time you, use it to learn the language, practice... NOTHING in life comes without effort... even breathing or drinking water... living life it self. Congratulations I really like your channel !

  51575. Is that Tokyo? Gosh, looks like a tiny town here in my hometown. I’d been to Tokyo before that massive earthquake, we stayed in hotel near 品川 station, we got such a small room that my colleague even can’t turn around sitting in chair. He is heavyset from US and 6 ft 2 in. It was embarrassing..

  51576. This is the kind of advice people pay money to read in books,watch In videos, etc . Please take this Detroit women’s word! Once you get over rejection (rejection is inevitable) the world becomes an amazing place. It sounds easier said than done but the advice pearl gives is that simple. The world is full of people who will reject you, but there is more people who will accept you!

  51587. is it practical usage to learn thru Pimsler? I want to learn how to talk to the locals, navigate the area, negotiate prices. You know, everyday type stuff. I don't need to know the words for obscure things and grammar and putting a sentence together with useless phrases. And that seems to be how all of these language courses are. They do not tailor it to what you need.

  51588. すごい I just subscribed, the channel, you did such an amazing natural switch between Japanese and Chinese! You are such a good example. 我是中国人，英语可能还不错，在努力学习日文。你是我的榜样！

  51589. I'd love to marry someone from another country, so to me you both made this type of "dream" come true to yourselves. Congratulations! I wish you both live a full couple's life "overwhelmed" by several nice happy moments like these many that you've been experiencing together since you've met.

  51598. I speak 2 languages fluently (I speak both at home) but I have learned 4 others on and off. I can definitely fake those 4 for people who don’t speak the languages. It’s a fun party trick but I’m not gonna sit here and claim that I speak them perfectly because I know in actual reality that I know very little. It just makes me uncomfortable. It feels disingenuous because I know all my knowledge is surface level, I’m quite ashamed of it actually. It’s frustrating when people think that saying a few sentences is being fluent. I agreed with every point you guys made. I’ve never been able to express it before but this put all of my feelings into words. Thanks for this:)

  51599. I noticed that when you say thank you to people you don't have eye contact. Is that a cultural thing you have picked up or is that just your personal preference?

  51611. You should do a video where they dress you up in decora fashion and walk around! That would be very cool and a great way to experience the subculture firsthand. You don’t have to be a participant though, your videos always offer a lovely lens into worlds we don’t always see. No matter what you do we appreciate you and your adventures (especially being cooped up inside right now!)

  51621. hahaha It is so chinese to act this way. It happened to me many times too, even if I do not have your amazing level in spoken chinese. So I am sure it happened to you very often too. It must be so worse/better when you are a beautiful blong girl .... Sometimes some people want us in their picture without even talking to us. So true and funny (or rude depending on how you feel) The best/worst happens to me when I was in a little chinese small in Sichuan. I remember 50 persons, several complete families, forming a crowd all around me. I heared a father telling his son "This is an american". And when I corrected them and begun to talk in my non-perfect but understandable chinese, OMG they were so excited, I was the Circus arriving in town. Often these people have only seen waiguoren in american movies, and they can have strange ideas about us, and they are very curious .

  51624. Your Chinese as well as Japanese are very impressive. I’m currently studying in Japan for a year and I’m struggling quite a lot with my Japanese. I’ve been learning it for two years back in Germany, but I didn’t get very far. I’m also not a very outgoing and social person, I guess. I even find it hard to communicate to strangers in my native tongue :O This way I was not very successful in finding many Japanese friends and I couldn’t improve my Japanese very much sadly. Maybe I just didn’t try hard enough. I ended up hanging out with mainly other international students and I am a bit ashamed that I didn’t make it out of my comfort zone. Seeing you easily socializing with Chinese and Japanese people is very inspiring and makes me want to try to get out of my comfort zone again. But it’s very hard and now there is also this corona situation, which is just not a good environment to meet people. I’ll try not to give up on this, but I’m not really seeing myself succeed anymore, lately. Putting my personal failures aside for now, I wish you all the best. Keep going. Those videos are super inspiring. Your diet doesn’t seem very healthy though :O Maybe consider getting a rice cooker at least or something and also buying some fresh vegetables, instead of just instant ramen and chips? Idk.

  51635. Learning Japanese or Chinese is quite hard for westerners and it might take a few thousand hours of study time to get reasonably fluent. If you realize that the average person spends over 1000 hours a year just watching TV it seems less of a daunting task though. Heck, I spent over 1000 hours playing the Dark Souls series, if I had invested half of that time into learning Japanese I could have played it in the original language and learned more while playing it.
    1
  51636. Watching these ladies makes me feel like I'm watching Olympic gymnastics. Like, I've been studying Mandarin since 2008 and living in China since 2015 but I'm still not even close to this level. Maybe I'm just not capable of becoming fluent

  51638. I’ve wanted to learn Chinese for almost two years now At first,my school offered Chinese as an elective subject but apart from me and a friend,nobody was interested in it😔 In March, I would have started to learn it at an education center but due to Corona,my class was cancelled😭

  51639. I eat poisonous food in the UK all the time. As a child I ate Rhubarb. Nowadays I eat bammy (a jamaican fried bread from cassava and milk) and red peas = kidney beans. All these foods are poisonous when raw.

  51640. Wow, that moment when you click on random suggested video, about random Tokyo neighbourhood, and it happens to be the same neighbourhood you also live in ;-) The sakura are awesome next to that river (when blooming) - you probably did it already but the walk from where you are to Oji along that river (well, more like a canal), and then on to Asukayama is quite the cherry blossom viewing experience.

  51648. Is it possible to ever reach a level (like not 50 years later) of learning a language to the point where we can talk about deep subjects like politics, religion, etc. I feel so discouraged because I feel like it will take decades to do that.
    1
  51649. You're sooooo amazing!!! Right now, I'm trying to relearn my long lost Japanese and Chinese. And trying some Spanish too. Wish me luck! Hope I won't stop this time :)

  51650. My view of Tokyo, is that it is a major world city, and as such operates no different than New York, London, Paris, LA, Toronto, or any other large world city. The main difference is like Paris operates in French, Tokyo operates in Japanese. The cultural differences are less pronounced when you can speak and understand the language. Saying having been to New York or LA means you known Kansas, North Dakota, or Georgia would be unrealistic. Cultural distances are always a major part of any interaction, but being able to communicate in the language of the place your are in lessens the chances that minor breaches of etiquette can become major issues. Even rural Michigan is different from Detroit in the manner with which people interact with one another. My take away from this video is learning at least a survival level of the native language of where your going, is not just wise, but really necessary, to gain more than a superficial experience of the location.

  51668. オリエンタルパール先生は以前から日本語をしゃべってましたが、日本での滞在が長くなってきたからか最近は以前よりもっと上達したように見えます。 道端で日本人に話しかけるとするなら、失敗しないコツは以下の通りです。 1つは、日本語で話しかけること。 外国人の方は時々当たり前のように英語で話しかけてくる人がいますが、多くの日本人はあれで拒絶感を覚えます。 英語で話しかけてくること自体もそうですが、それ自体よりも｢当たり前のように英語で｣話してくるという態度や雰囲気に拒絶感を覚えます。 もう1つは丁寧さです。 日本人は通りすがりの知らない人と話すことは通常ほとんどありません。 また口語の丁寧さにおいてもいわゆるタメ語から敬語まで、はっきりと明文化はしていませんが数段階(おそらく3~5段階)くらいの丁寧レベルがあります。 初対面での会話というのは、相手や状況にもよりますが、その丁寧レベルの中での一番丁寧か二番目くらいの丁寧レベルの口語を日本人は選択して話そうとします。 そのような丁寧レベルの言葉がスラスラと出てこなくても少なくともそのような態度は見せます。 日本人の感覚では初対面においてこれをしない人は、｢常識がない｣｢マナーがない(成ってない)｣｢図々しい｣｢厚かましい｣｢馴れ馴れしい｣という判定をもらいます。 オリエンタルパール先生はこの点を強く意識しているように見えて、意識して丁寧な日本語を使っているようなので、初対面の日本人もわりと心を開いてくれるのだと思います。 あとは日本人もお世辞をよく言いますが、オリエンタルパール先生もお世辞を効果的に使ってますよね。

  51669. Love the reactions!!

  51670. I see, I had no cultural context for this. So it's just something you say, and because less people outside know their language they can say it without being insulting. But in America we expect everyone to know English. Yet people still sometimes are insulting and will say "wow your English is so good". That used to be extremely common in the 80s and earlier but if you say that today that is an insult assuming someone is not from America solely based on how they look. Because America is so diverse you must expect people to be from America and not foreigners, and to be honest I am glad it is like this now instead of how everyone just flatly assumed I was not American. I watch some non-asian youtubers speaking asian languages would always think if this was the other way around it would be insulting. It never occurred to me that they were saying this just to be nice, like we say common niceties. I always thought they were all being surprised.

  51692. OK, that's cool. If you're studying ..ehm... ''international relations'', your flawless accent and diction becomes a bit less unbelievable. Now I know why. ;) (Haha, I know of someone who does something for a living, but rarely divulges anything on the nature of work, but one day this person disclosed that whenever strangers ask about the occupation, the usual answer is: ''IT consultant'', which allegedly stops all further questions.)

  51705. hello talk can be better to meet someone than dating apps because a lot of people on dating apps are not really looking for a serious relationship, Where as hello talk you talk and get to know the person. Also there is not this pre constructed idea that you just looking for dating when you speaking with someone.

  51713. I think it’s fair to have an element of surprise when you genuinely don’t expect somebody to speak your language. This is especially true for places that don’t have a lot of different ethnic backgrounds. However, showcasing it or trying to generate buzz about it might make people uncomfortable. There are similarities to recording yourself helping people (there are a lot of “watch me as I help the homeless” videos on YouTube), which forces the question of how genuine this act is.
    1
  51714. Super interesting. And kind of brave.

  51715. The was a great video! It was really entertaining watching you talk with all those people, and effortlessly and fluently changing languages. It looks really cool and fun to me. This is very motivating to for me to make sure I keep studying Japanese diligently. I started a little while ago and learned all the Kana, but now I need to learn the grammar, how all the particles work, and Kanji.

  51720. Damn that's nuts. You have mainland China accent mixed with a bit foreign accent.

  51721. You may get mistaken for being Russian because the second closest country after Korea, is Russia and theres a pretty decent sized city very close to Japan called Vladivostok. The video is in Miyajima, well it is close to Tottori pref. there is a town in Tottori called Sakaiminato. which has a ferry sevice that you can take from Sakaiminato to Donghae, Korea, and then onward to Vladivostok, Russia. so it makes sense, you look kinda Russian hahah. actually you should go over to Vladivostok and see how many people mistaken you to be Russian haha.

  51751. I rode a bike from Cape Soya to Cape Sato with my son. Even though I barely spoke any Japanese the most wonderful moments were interacting with the Japanese people.

  51752. The English translation on that sign is a little weird but it gets the point across. I notice on the Japanese version they use 又 また.. it always makes me mad when my dictionary says "usually written in kana" and yet there it is.. on the sign of the store with the pretty anime girls ready to clean your ears for you.

  51755. Wow!! Thanks for sharing!! I'm planning to go to a language school or something like that in Japan after I graduate high school. After hearing your story about how you found roommates, and didn't have to live alone in an apartment gives me hope that I'll eventually be able to move to Japan and find roommates and friends too, so thanks!! PS, I really enjoyed your collab that you had with Matt vs Japan!

  51758. I think it’s so cool how you speak multiple languages I only speak 2 myself English and Spanish but I want to expand to a 3rd language I’m taking intro Japanese wish I could take it in person but I can’t thanks to coronavirus. I plan to take the other levels if I feel like I can keep up.

  51762. I can confirm that learning languages is hard. I was at one French emersion and two francophone schools for many years (I'd say around 10), and still have trouble with the grammar and conjugation sometimes (aient, ent, ait, ça vs sa, etc). Saying that, it's worth it to become a fluent speaker, and the pride you feel in knowing that you've learned a language is immense. I'm currently learning ASL, and it's lots of fun! Learning through teachers and real-life experiences (I've had a chance encounter with a teacher, and it was great to be able to apply what I've learned and know that I've made progress) is definitely the best way to go about it, and making mistakes should be seen as a positive instead of a negative. I believe that asian languages are harder to learn, but I look forward to trying my hand at them in the future. Sorry for the rambling, great video :)

  51763. Some years ago now, my English girlfriend (who had lived in Japan and worked for a Japanese bank) was in a Japanese supermarket. She said she wandered around the aisles picking up food items, looking (reading) and choosing some. She clearly heard two shop assistants saying to each other "... such a stupid (western) woman, she has no idea what she is buying..." When she got to the checkout, she asked them (in fluent Japanese) why they assumed she was so stupid. They virtually grovelled on the floor in embarrassment.

  51770. I'm glad I moved to a country that most people under 60 speak English 🤣. Since my Faroese is horrible. Truth be told they speak to me in Faroese and I just smile and nod when I dont understand. Getting more comfortable now with the language. Did it take you long to get comfortable speaking it in public?.

  51777. There's this really good video I watched and it help alot it was originally for French but works for other languages ,but you record yourself telling stories about you in your target languages if you can't say a word or phrase then say it in English and then go back and watch that video and try to find what they would say for those words or phrases you couldn't say and learn it and all these words you learn you will remember easier cause bow they have context and meaning to you and they are useful words cause these are words you'd use to say things you'd typically say in your languages, I'm gonna also tell stories of my predictions or plans for the future to get some future tenses in my vocabulary

  51792. Wow that is so rare to see a catholic church and the fact his family went out of their way to take you to mass rather than going to a traditional temple says a lot about what they think of you. They went during the solemnity of Mary Mother of God is jaw dropping at St Mary's cathedral.
    1
  51793. I am new to channel so still learning your personality but you seem very humble and do not like to be put on any pedestal as you believe we are all on the same level but I think your perspective is a bit misdirected. These people’s culture is not western and they have little entitlement. Sadly In a sense some probably feel unworthy of westerners being gracious enough to speak to them in their native tongue with no expectation that they speak in your tongue. It may seem very uncommon for them to experience. When they heap compliments on you it’s almost a way of saying Thank you! With every encounter you are changing a tiny fraction of the populations mind about the “entitled” westerner. They go home and tell their fam&friends about the amazing American(Russian-lol) girl they met today...😁

  51815. One thing I've personally experienced is that Japanese people tend to be less surprised by my ability to speak the language than they are by my knowledge of Japanese popular culture. "How do you know about this band?!" "How did you find out about this artist?" I had dinner in San Francisco with some music industry people a few years ago, and a Sony Music marketing executive from Japan was blown away by the fact that I had heard some recent news about some J-pop singer and that I had watched a TV show that the executive had produced about 14 years earlier.

  51819. Dear Anming, tku for the info on the instruments you are using to make your videos. Do you have an additional microphone that allows for this loud and clear sound in your videos? love the music you are choosing. Sorry to mention this: The concept I have of your sit is that you are "now locked out of China". However your line reads: "Like everyone else, I'm not locked out of China." Small detail, big difference. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Best wishes. Stay Well ("changed" my name....:)) )

Just met a couple of ladies that newly arrived to Canada from Ukraine at a deli counter so now have a new challenge 😀🇨🇦

  51849. What is happening has made me realise just how close to are as a species, and how distancing ourselves from one another seems out of place and odd, even when we are strangers. Today I walked an hour to give blood, at several points on my walk there were more narrow paths / choke points like bridges where usually you'd pass people closely... at those times people would stop and let people walk across before they walked across, and always was nervous laughter because it just felt wrong to go out of your way to avoid people. In the blood donor centre the waiting room was set up so chairs were 2m apart, meaning many had to stand outside... all standing at least 2m apart. It felt so wrong and awkward to deliberately avoid each other. There was also no tea room where donors stop to have a cup of tea and a few biscuits and have a small conversation before going on their way. It was very surreal. Even though I'm less social than the average person, I cannot wait for things to go back to how they are. The more we follow government advice the quicker that will be. We may need to distance, but we are in this together. Stay safe!

  51882. I always watching your videos until the end, because you are nice and friendly and how do you connect with people (sometimes I don’t like when people grapping you out of nowhere without your permission). I love to hear these conversations in different Asian languages and the atmosphere of asian countries, miss them so much.

  51883. Thanks I try to spread a new one everyday,
    1
  51884. I sincerely thank you for this video, I have waited for this! I always see other people do well with their language learning with their clickbait titles "LEARN IN 24 HOURS", I am a fast learner myself, but my Japanese still need tweaking after 1 year. I kind of felt like I did not do enough, since they could speak "fluently" in 24 hours. I later realized that they do it for entertainment purpouses, and I agree it is entertaining but that does not mean it is real, there are professors studying one single language and they still have told me that they do not know enough, even with decades of studying. I myself speak multiple languages at different degrees of proficiency, but I have never claimed to speak a language until I have a degree of proficiency in it. I was stuck in limbo where I wanted to find the "right" or "perfect" course for language learning for each individual language, and because of this (and procrastination) I fell a bit short. I am now in the development of a plan that will help not only me, but anyone that wants to learn different languages, maybe you guys can check it out when I am done with it!

  51885. How the heck can you fit in that house? Or should I say sardine can?? It's already small with just 1 person nevermind 7 :-( . But I guess for the amount of rent you pay it's good enough. By the way. Awesome house in Michigan and great drone shots :-)

  51887. I don't think Japanese people are shy, by they place a higher value on privacy. Especially as an American, I doubt they will decline getting filmed if you ask, but, I think they'd prefer you don't.

  51927. Good job! At least the world know the other side of the coin. However, with Japan NGOs and the government, let us hope that the social problems will reduce and not eradicate totally. Something is better than nothing.

  51936. You know, I really appreciate people who go to China because they want to experience the culture. Our Asian studies courses are just filled with people who want to make business with China without a sham of love or respect for culture... That is quite sad in my opinion... I chose this course since I loved Asian cultures ever since I was a little boy. Too bad there isn't a course about southeast Asia...

  51940. I never assume people are talking about me when they speaking their own languages. I encourage them to keep on. Some apologize. I enjoy hearing other languages. I caught a few people from one certain culture talking about me. I can't understand their language. But sometimes you just know! So I responded in English. They were shocked. They asked if I spoke it! I said no. Only understand! Haha Was a good lesson. She was asking our supervisor who was same culture as she was. If I could be sent to do her work for her, because she was tired" I responded with a ( No I can't do your work ,I've got enough of my own to do). If she came to me and asked me. I would have helped. But not if she cared more about her self than someone else!

  51941. Which one is more difficult to learn? Japanese or Chinese?

  51954. Congratulations! Glad you and your former language exchange partner are getting married! If I had to be honest, you're living my dream! I know the app is supposed to be used for language learning and practice along with learning about different cultures, but I've definitely been guilty of catching feelings towards some language exchange partners from countries like Russia and especially Kazakhstan!

  51955. Great videos yeah it is wonderful if you can speak the language and understand that and write it I just can't do it I've tried but then I found that Google translator works good but it would be great to go on a trip to Japan and China with you I have some Buddy that can really understand what people are saying very interesting

  51974. 哈哈哈 你所有的问题都可以归于一个答案 ：中国所处的社会发展阶段还没有达到美国 日本 欧洲等的程度 这些都是特定历史阶段下的产物 十年或者二十年后我们回头再看时 很多事情就会变得很简单理解 再有 中国人口基数太庞大了 14亿 地球1/6的人口基数 这个数量真是一个令人头疼的问题 光喂饱14亿张嘴就要消耗天文数字的粮食 这也是有些外国人为什么看我们干点什么事规模都比较大的原因 人太多了 随之而来的 出一点什么小事 都会影响到很多人 当然把这14亿人有效并且有序的组织起来去从事生产劳动 向更好的生活前进 也是个非常大的过程（30年以前或更早 中国人口基数高速增长时 我们中国人没意识到是什么大不了的事 但后来很多问题随之而来了）当然 随着社会一种自然的进化角度来计算 凡是内部稳定 并且社会氛围比较上进爱努力拼搏的民族都会有所收获 再往后某个阶段人们会发现量变引起了质变 当然 我们人太多了 即使普通人的生活达到中等发达国家水平时（大概是人均收入2.5—4万美元时） 那种作为国家整体所爆发出来的总体力量也是任何国家比不了的

  51983. What I find the most annoying/cringe is when the YTer claims fluency or 'perfect' x language.  I'm a native Chinese (Cantonese) speaker (only speaking to family in Cantonese at home) and native English speaker (living in US going to school from kinder to college degree).  And I would still never claim that I had perfect Chinese or English.  People claim to be polyglots too freely and easily.  I've taken 2 years of French in high school, 1 year of Spanish in college, 3 years of self-taught Korean, plus my mother language Cantonese and formal education in English.  And I would BARELY consider myself bilingual.  It's somewhat admirable and impressive about the ability to pick up several languages, but if it's uber basic (and the YTer lacks humility), then it's a turnoff.  Most people are very polite and happy that anyone would make the effort to learn their language, but it's really not all that amazing if all they can do is order food or buy a few things at a market.

  51985. I generally liked everything in Japan, maybe due to my affinity for seafood. However I had to try really hard to eat all of those huuuuge sets and portions, and I was never sure how they eat so much and so fast, even in ramen shops (where i couldnt finish even one ramen by myself) they would pile up towers of empty bowls. It's like they have double sized bellies :D

  51988. I thought that Brillia Tower was built in 2006, was it renovated in 2019? It sounds like you guys did like the location but it was starting to feel small. Ueno Park is one of the more picturesque in the Tokyo metro, having an open vista really helps counter the feelings of urban claustrophobia. The fact that your 1 million YouTube plaque arrived during the new home filming was just too perfect to believe. Nice!

  52010. It's interesting that people with whom you were talking know about Ukraine. It was really unpredictable for me but fascinating simultaneously. I'm really happy to hear my country's name. However I think everyone knows Ukraine just because there are a lot of pretty girls here (on people's opinion) that made me sad a little. Ukraine has other different features that also describes it as a country. Why don't they simply aware of Cossacks? Eh, those stupid stereotypes..

  52027. Ive been watching travel videos and bilingual videos here lately.. i just subscribed to your channel 2 days ago (: you and Laoma chris are my two favorite multi-lingual ppl to watch. (: I got into it tho cuz Xioma from NYC was interesting to watch in Chinese. But he started getting on my nerves when he started claiming he could learn a language in 24 hours and then claim to everybody tht hes fluent in a ton of languages and even knew rare languages like Mayan 😑😐😑 and this whole video all I could think of was this video referring to him haha

  52030. I speak six but I do clarify that they’re all different levels. I was fluent in french but I’ve barely practiced since graduating with my degree. Spanish I’m much more fluent, Italian is I would say basic to middle, Portuguese, I understand and can read, but speaking is harder for me. I’ve been studying Japanese on and off for four years or so, but I would say I have fairly basic understanding at the moment. I’m a language nerd but yeah I don’t claim I’m fully fluent or confident. I’m extremely rusty with some of them.

  52045. I really enjoy your videos. I have been learning Swedish for about 7 months now, and find it very interesting to watch people conversing in their alternate languages. Kind of difficult starting a new language at 35, but I want to learn 4 languages in 5-6 years, probably Swedish, Spanish, German, and not sure on the 4th but considering Chinese. I'm going to give the hellotalk app a try. I'm also from Michigan, hello neighbor. Thank you! Keep up the amazing videos!

Your interactions are magical, I'm going to give Pimsleur a go (I briefly considered them in 2012 for Spanish, Korean and Japanese; the latter two due us doing business with the East).

  52054. If you are from America, I am sure only fraction of Americans wants to learn and speak Asians language and you are one of them. The quick reaction of the people when u speak Jabs or Chinese is because they are not used to it specially from white fellas since they expect 100% u to speak in English language only. So it's good that u are putting efforts to break the stereotyping that even a foreigner can speak an Asians languages and we all should encourage that coz ones we know the language, we also tends to know the socio-economic-politcal-cultural of the people and there is a pretty good chance of knowing the diversity of the people living on this planet. Love one another and respect one another, that's all I want to say, thank you. U videos are amazing.

  52078. You said you're a Catholic. Well I'm a devout Christian (recently turned Catholic) and have encountered similar situations. People walking after you staring intensely for no reason, even from afar. These cases, if you pray they stop and turn around. It could be the spiritual war. It definitely has been in my case. At this point, after praying to God about it, it's absolutely beyond doubt in my case. Scary but God is on our side so nothing to worry about. It might not be in your case, but just saying, something to think and pray about!

  52079. First I think any level of language learning is great as it usually shows you some differences from your own native language and give you a different outlook. But individual aptitude comes into play - despite umpteen years of listening to and reading French, I still have difficulty keeping up with normal conversational speed when we move away from the simple stuff - others with far less experience have no difficulty. Also I wonder about the levels - if you can function in daily life and interact with others, then you may have no need for high level language skills.

  52085. A wonderful video as always love it 😍❤️ 👍... Could you please do "talking to Japanese people" more? It's good to know thier reaction when a stranger talks to them. And also tips (video example) on how to understand the clues when they are busy or not interested in talking to you. That would really help 🙏. Not many people might understand the subtle clues which they give and might end up making them uncomfortable so... You being you is the best part in all your videos, makes me watch it over and over again 😍👍 That's all for now 😇🙏. Love you Anming 💖

  52086. In my opinion, always enjoy a compliment. 99% of your normal life will be filled with only negative things, thus, no matter how many times you receive the compliment, always smile and know that, that person took time out of their day to say something nice. People say my Japanese is great all the time and I always love it 4 years on.

  52087. Always love watching your vids! ❤

  52088. Very good, but if you could only talk faster ... Okay, just kidding. You do talk fast, who is chasing you?

  52092. I got married in 2019 before the pandemic and my family couldn't make it to Japan either. My husband and I had a 出来ちゃった婚 which meant that we got married at city hall and my in-laws threw us a nice wedding party instead with one of my new relatives falling over and getting a concussion after he got drunk. Fortunately he's okay and I had a close friend and her family attend. lol It was hard not having my family but I have really great in-laws and now a baby! It looks like it will be the same for you. Congratulations!

  52119. Oriental Pearl : your Japanese is better than your Chinese - interesting considering you studied Chinese 8 years vs 5 years for Japanese. 😉
    1
  52120. When I was in Japan, the Japanese actually offered to take pics of me so I was happy. Wish I could speak fluently like you but I feel like I'm old to learn it.
    1
  52121. I have absolutely no idea how to compliment you on your outfit without sounding "creepy". Super sexy. Just the Truth
    1
  52122. I liked this video the most of all your videos that I've seen so far. Really good. I especially loved you working in they skydiving and you mom into it because it makes us learn something cool about you and your family, which binds your viewers closer as a community. And now I can discuss with my daughter about her going to China or Japan to study, so that's a big plus for me. So, complete package: informative, entertaining, and some personal sharing stuff. Excellent.

  52123. I love your videos! Thanks for taking the time for us! From México.

  52127. As a Marketing professional, I would like to hear more about the actual B2C Marketing programs of the Hotel and how maybe the things that work in Tokyo are different than, say, in the USA. You know, professional to professional. Would that need to be a separate sub-channel?
    1
  52128. Great video. Wow it would be tough but I guess if needed, I would do it.
    1
  52129. today i gave you the like and subscribed. this is probably the tenth video i've seen of yours .... and they are always so upbeat ... and it reminds me of going to elementary school in Germany and high school in Italy ... roaming around talking to people was just the greatest ...
    1
  52130. As a foreigner, I found Japan to be clean, and friendly. Yes there bound to be one or two who discriminate but majority are good.
    1
  52131.  @OrientalPearl  this is such a good point. The videos could be silent. I read them anyway. (I filmed my latest video without turning the autofocus on the lens. Feel like an idiot...need to refilm)

  52132. Nice, you should go to Gunma next .

  52133. Funny

  52134. The people in that supermarket were so warm and friendly. Really neat as well was how you were holding 3 different conversations in 3 different languages with the people in the store and then with your youtube audience in English via the camera.

  52135. There's way more people that enjoy your content. I find it interesting and enlightening. I'm sure most of the people hating are miserable people irl. Keep it up!

  52136. Hi, May I have a suggestion for your videos, Can you add phrase for the video, So the Chinese learners will learn at least one phrase every video that they're watching from you

  52141. I remember my first earthquake in japan while i was working. I was sharing a table with my Japanese colleague and it start shaking a little bit. I honestly thought he was playing a joke with me and i told him not to shake the table. He innocently said he didn't shake the table. I felt dizzy a little and realize it was an earthquake. 😂

  52154. I just watched your Chinese TV show appearance. Did those guys treat you like that because your an american or because you were a rookie ?
    1
  52155. glad someone else agrees those videos come off as super arrogant lol. my experience teaching abroad has been pretty much identical to yours minus the jump to japan. i guess i’d consider it if i planned on sticking with it - japan is really nice - but i’m not sure that i want to continue as an english teacher at all. appreciate the perspective on the matter, definitely interested in subscribing for more real talk

  52157. How long are your lessons, usually?
    1
  52158. Yeay more.
    1
  52159. Isn't it much better just to say it's ok, just needs to keep practicing? More constructive and helpful. If it's terrible then it's "you need to keep practicing". I do agree with the effort part, love people that are making the effort to learn. I guess i get it though, you don't want to make the other person feel bad or discouraged. I think now that I've said all this, if i was in that situation i would probably say "oh wow it's good that you are learning, i hope you keep at it" or something along those lines.

  52181. ur so awesome for this
    1
  52182. My problem with this "polyglot shocks people by speaking X" videos is the fact that these so-called polyglots aren't even polyglots. Most of the time they only say basic stuff like "hello, my name is x, I am from bla bla.. yes/no, good, awesome" etc in the videos. They do not "speak" the language. Thus they feel like cheap trick videos.

  52187. Thank you once again. The videos seem more professional somehow, so not sure if you have changed equipment. Although as always i enjoy your videos, i did not think that today's countryside was all that special or pretty. I guess living in New Zealand means that my expectations when it comes to beautiful countryside are very high. Maybe its more beautiful when you are there. Thanks again

  52188. When do you visit Jakarta. I want speak Mandarin with u

  52189. Once again I'm watching your channel at strange hours. Melon soda is by far the best thing about fast food in Japan! It's so good and I've never really seen it anywhere else so it's a good reason to eat out. Natto is by far the worst thing to eat, I remember the first time I ever tried it for breakfast I didn't really know what to use to prepare it so I added all the extras to it and mixed it into this disgusting paste. By far one of the worst things I've ever tasted.
    1
  52190. Your videos are really cool. I agree that people are passive aggressive. That happens a lot in the United States too. I'm sorry you got stood up. For a culture that is very keen on respecting people,that doesn't sound like a very respectful thing to do by ghosting someone. Kind of ironic. Always have a back up plan and make sure to make yourself happy first!
    1
  52191. I noticed that your pronounciation sound natural & fluent. Using the right filler words, place emphasis on the right words, syllables & tones. Keep entertain us with your video. Thank you.

  52192. It’s very good practice for him

  52193. Oriental Pearl I went over to give your friend Yuki a view and thumbs up, I didn't see much trollish behavior. I do find the loud sound effects he puts in when the banners display to be particularly annoying and that it is hard to hear you speaking.

  52204. Haters gonna hate, the lack of self awareness with those stupid comments specially that "you don´t see it the other way around" just because they haven´t see it they assume it does not exist, if only they knew, watching this kind of videos helps a lot of language students like myself besides being funny and interesting because it is not only languages there is the culture of that region´s languages. Why is this very popular simple because people often times appreciates the dedication put behind learning a new language they know that it is not easy it takes a lot of time and like Anming said here nobody is gonna be surprised when hearing foreigners speaking English because that´s very common and normal.

  52205. Thank ypu for your videos, you are my motivation to continue leraning Japanese!!! ♥️

  52208. I need literal help with Japanese😭😂 I know so much but I'm so bad at forming sentences and talking. I hope I will be able to speak like you soon because I want to talk to my Japanese friends at school after summer😎❤️ Keep it up!
    1
  52209. It's always nice seeing the reactions but I always love. How much, they love that you learned their language. 😁🙏🏽 Taiwan though is definitely something I didn't think I'd see, so as always. Thanks for bringing us along.

  52210. Loved that last interaction in the shop, such amazing people, so humble :) Great video!

  52217. In Shanghai, foreigners speaking Chinese is not uncommon, therefore people are often not so surprised. I myself is also learning Japanese right now, and I understand how hard it is to master the 3 languages like this. Being amazed by your excellent proficiency!
    1
  52218. An ya! Hehe Japanese tradition and culture is so beautiful 😊 I'd love to visit a blossom festival. Love ya work btw and please don't listen to the hater's as it means people are jealous your being you 🙏❤️. It's funny your like the female version of me in your taste in a partner and how your fascinated in Asian culture it's got so much history in it. I grew up in Australia in a very Asian influenced area which i loved and still do and would never take it back, but it's definitely defined me as person my interests and passions. Also despite all the haters...the Chinese language is so beautiful to. I love the Beijing rrrrrrr! Hahaha it sounds so cool. Keep it up 🇦🇺❤️🎌💯 Oh and if you want to hear some beautiful Korean listen to Jain Kim speak a famous Korean climber. I find her style of Korean so flowy and slow with all the amazing tones it makes me so relaxed and fall asleep. That's if your interested to hear 🤷😁

  52222. I'm really happy you're still around dishing this stuff out! Don't let the company life take away your spirit! Children are soooo cute! I teach some part-time online (Chinese children mostly) and they're so cute, direct and creative! They're doing something right... while we just... exist :P

  52229. How to respond to disdain an hate without disdain and hate? Maybe the problem behind all this is that youtube, twitch, etc. trends are de facto favoring superficiality and appearance as a new latin. Influencers know it, and use it. More than ever. "You can't see the forest for the trees" (M.Manson - The Beautiful People). Lets be beautiful, but clever.
    1
  52230. I really enjoy your videos. The girl at 3:27 mark looks alot like Cathy Cat from "Ask Japanese " channel.

  52231. Very nice. Can't wait for the "Tommy In America" adventure. That wooden bathtub was really unusual, but so was the dimpled wall pattern behind you at 3:26.

  52232. Oriental Pearl 你的真名字是什么？

  52233. She's cute

  52234. I won’t lie… sometimes I cringe a bit but overall your vibe and attitude are superbly nice which in turn makes me happy for you! Good luck!!
    1
  52235. This is so cute
    1
  52236. I think even more of a reason for people to be relatively surprised is the homogeneity of China (and largely Japan). It's very rare to have a westerner that lives in these countries so I'd imagine there is more of an assumption that you would be a tourist.

  52247. It is true that, as you get older (I’m mid 50s) you find you have a lot of life experience that you gradually, gradually build up. You’ve accumulated 1) a variety of experience and/or plenty of experience in a narrow band. This means an older person is more likely to have met foreigners who speak the language or to have mentally processed the possibility OR decided that it’s not something they care about (this is part of the reason I think we don’t learn as well... just my personal hypothesis) 2) a lot of experience with surprises, to the extent that (I think) surprises aren’t so shocking anymore. Im a language nerd, so I personally will never not be excited even by accents, but plenty of my peer-aged friends draw a complete dud on interest when I raise questions about language. I suppose I’m the same on televised sports: I really couldn’t give a tinker’s cuss whether the olympics happen next year or even who the Lakers are. But I do have a question. Does anyone know what the plants with huge leaves are at 6:29?

  52258. That Woman following you was a little creepy Anming , But then again maybe she was just fascinated that an American can speak great Chinese 😆 On a serious note , you should always trust your instinct, If you are feeling uncomfortable you should leave the situation.

  52259. I love watching your channel and learning things. Reminds me of back in college in linguistics class or back in ASL class. In American Sign Language if you’re not signing with facial expressions it translates to speaking monotoned.

  52270. i speak portuguese and there's a guy on youtube that call himself a polyglot and he approached a brazilian on street and started speaking a reaaaallly bad portuguese and he was acting he was speaking it perfectly. i couldn't understand what he said.
    1
  52271. My whole life I only know 3 languages. I'm fluent in English and still learning slangs as the language keeps evolving with this new words like "yeet" and "simp". I'm fluent in Filipino as it's my native language and because my country was colonized by Spain it's kinda mixed with some Spanish words which makes Español sort of easy for Filipinos and lastly, I'm self studying German up until now.

  52272. Yeah, I guess life goes on. Had some sporadic power outages, but other than that, we carry on. Watch the news afterwards and they said the epicenter was 50 kms off the coast of Sendai. We felt it out here in Fussa at the AF base (Yokota). Been to Okinawa and had to deal with several typhoons so natural disasters is almost second nature for us. We deal with it and move on. Stay safe.

  52273. The salaries around japan for dispatch companies are even lower than what was listed in the video. You'd be lucky to hit even 20k usd these days, especially with the devaluing of the Yen. Honestly, unless you're an experienced teacher who can work in an international school, one of the only viable salaries is the JET Programme and hoping to be placed somewhere Inaka so that your rent subsidy covers the entire monthly rent

  52277. These polyglot youtubers are the ones who inspired me to love learning languages and opened my mind to respect and willing to learn more about other countries or peoples' cultures. And learning about geography!, that's a plus too.

  52278. I love public bathing!! I got my first try when i went to Akita as an exchange student. I wore swim shorts and this short old man kept pulling them off me. I felt pretty cringy until he left, then got comfortable. From that day on, I became more relaxed doing the public bath thing. I went to Korea right after college and immediately went to public spas, then to Japan where I had no problems. I sometimes go to public bath houses in China too. I'm one of the few foreigners i know that are 100% comfortable with them It's awesome!!

  52280. Oh i was just watching some of your videos!Lovely!I'm not chinese or japanese,my name is Fernando,brazilian,living in Tokyo..hmm maybe almost 20 years..I wish i had you chinese language when i went to my ex girlfriend hometown(Hangzhou) but everything i could speak was "xièxiè" and "bīng píjiǔ" lol!Still is everything i can say in chinese(shame on me😢)..I hope you enjoy a lot Japan..I don't know how long will you stay here but if you have a chance,you must visit Okinawa!I think you will enjoy there ...Many chineses and,of course,taiwanese there..Local ppl are so LOVELY there..And yoy can have lot of fun speaking japabese,chinese and learning okinawan..Also,there is so wonderful..My favourite place in Japan.(^^) オススメです

  52281. What’s funny is that I’m mixed half SE Asian and half Scandinavian, and the times I visited Japan everyone thought I was just another Japanese :)
    1
  52282. I only felt one earthquake when I was in Japan. I woke up in complete darkness and thought someone was shaking my bed back and forth. It was over quickly so I didn't have time to worry. Is it true that Japanese and Chinese characters have the same meaning but the sounds are different? So they can read each others newspapers no problem? I read that in an old book about Japan. Sounds apocryphal.

  52286. People here in the USA act the same way when I tell them that I'll be studying in Mexico. So often the first response is a scoffing "Eww, why would you want to study there?!" Which is double insulting because I'm Chicano/Hispanic of Mexican decent. 😑

  52289. I have really been enjoying your content for years since you began the channel. I subscribed after the first video. You are an amazing inspiration. I am a teacher in Boston at Berklee College of Music and I speak Spanish and English and because of you. I am now taking on French. I have many students from China, and I am beginning to slowly ease into wanting to learn that language because of you so thank you for your inspiring content! Let’s all subscribe and give donations so there is more great interviews. ❤

Nothing special about foreigners speaking Japanese anymore More people are does it now Years ago it was rare for foreigners to speak and those were the days when Japanese were amazed Yeah so the fun has gone Japanese won't be surprised if you speak fluent Japanese These days with the influx of foreigners has killed it too Menus in English information English hasn't helped

  52332. Many of them are from Harbin because of the visa issue. Many Japanese children were left behind to the local families in several villages close to Harbin during the soviet union invasion even after the end of war. They promised to pick them up soon later but China became communist so it was impossible for them to take them back to Japan for decades. Those Japanese left behind in the north east were adopted into the local families and later, finally they could move to Japan and their family also could move to Japan with family visas for better life. In general, family in the continent is so bigger than normal Japanese family and more and more relatives of them have been moving to Japan with the family visa. Some of them stay Chinese but many of those who are allowed to be naturalized here in Japan took the family name of their adopted children or Japanese family name which uses the same or similar characters from their Han name to avoid social disadvantage. For them it was not for the first time for them to alter their ethnic group to avoid social disadvantages as they were originally not Han. Nowadays, I think we have to accept large number of people from Hong Kong.

  52339. Ok, Anming, I think we found one weakness in your language skills- you lived in Shanghai and dont speak Shanghainese? It would be cool to see if you get to study and learn that dialect...lovely video of Yokohama- you make we want to go see that beautiful city!! You are always so damn cute too! I know why being around you and talking to you would be infectious (but in a good way, got a COVID sorta way...haha)

  52341. Gratz on your marriage proposal. I was in the US navy many years but never got a chance at going to Japan but I always wanted to. Closest I got was Busan SK. I like that you're a Catholic, I was raised Catholic too although I haven't been to church since the navy. Does Japan have churches? I know SK has a lot of them.

  52353. Thank you for making this video, I had no idea poverty of this scale existed in Japan. I had visited back in 2015 for work in Shibuya and Nagoya, and had also visited mainland China as well as Hong Kong. Poverty was much more visible in those areas than in Japan. It’s sad to see that the government is mainly just providing band aids to the problem as opposed to something that could have a greater change on a systemic level, like decent socialized housing as opposed to discounts. Do the organizations you mentioned advocate for this type of systemic change, or is it more of a charity organization? I personally think the former would be better than the latter, but I am glad you mentioned either as you’re trying to impact a change by raising awareness as opposed to just providing slum tourism 👍

  52355. Learning a language is hard work. Many spoiled Chinese kids simply would not have the determination and patience to do so. Many North American universities take advantage of this. They offer these spoiled Chinese kids expensive 'English programs' that guarantee fluency. These Chinese parents are happy to pay whatever amounts. They want to have face. In China, English fluency is rare. These Chinese parents want to be able to show off their kids to their friends and relatives.

  52356. I think you've lived more life than many 70 yr olds. I could probably visit those places for like 2 wks and that would be it. I would miss my American college and pro football too much.:) It definitely takes great dedication, commitment, and passion to do what you have done. ...btw You're videos are getting more and more creative especially with some of the effects and music.

  52376. Thank you for the daily life vlog! Is it weird I was mostly interested in the shoes - LOL - so when you slipped I was thinking "Anming chose those heels again in the snow!" -- I was surprised you had on boots, as I've commented before about your choosing heels when going on hikes before. I've watched way to many of your videos, but thats a good thing! Love every one of them.

  52380. If your in America you should head out to the suburbs and rural areas; the small towns and stuff. The majority of people are kind, especially in the south, they’ll treat you to eat with them and stuff and want to hear your adventurous stories. Though, just like everywhere you still be careful and stay safe.

  52391. Funny thing about my experience with learning Chinese was that, I had Chinese counterparts and clients in one of my previous jobs. I learned it to make getting past the receptionist/trunkline operator (who most likely didn't understand English) a lot easier. Several years after, I suddenly feel interested in picking it up again. Do you also speak Cantonese?
    1
  52392. I agree with you. I think what you guys doing is very good and you are encouraging and motivating other people to learn languages.

  52393. Really really enjoyed your conversations! Why because they are natural conversion, nothing really contrived . You go lady ! I’m a big fan of your style 🖖

  52394. This video was so cute 😍 😭
    1
  52395. My only thought is did half of those questioners actually watch your video's, and listen to you. Your content as always never disappoints. Are you still uploading to Facebook? When I've tried to find you lately, I can't. Didn't know that many Anming's existed in cyber world. Found your first few video's easily, but no so much lately. I follow here and on Instagram, but would like if in your header you could add direct link. I'm a bit of a luddite,
    1
  52396. If someone says Anming can charm birds from the trees...I’ll absolutely believe them! - the lady makes conversation painless, engaging and intriguing! :D

  52409. I always thought it was rude for us Americans to want people to learn English especially when they say speak English or learn English when you come to America.but I guess over there they expect the same from us

  52423. Just wondering if its only mainly Mandarin Chinese, or if there are also Cantonese speaking Chinese in the Tokyo area. Maybe next time I visit, I can try pulling off a Cantonese-Japanese-English conversation. Currently I'm learning Japanese, and speaking it with neighbor and friends; speaking Cantonese at home and with a few friends and family; and using English outside as I live in Canada.
    1
  52424. hahaha! "mer-i-kuh". 美国 sounds a little like "'Merikuh" also. So funny!  Please make a video with 起 七 系 气 attempts - or similar. It's so great that you give your interviewees a little phrase that they can practice! 好吃 is fun because you get to eat and practice!  What is your favorite Chinese phrase that can be used often (other than greetings)?

  52427. Prayers for you Drew!

  52433. Based on what we saw, that teacher seemed excellent - as did her food. Your title had me worried! Thankfully, the only craziness was the amount of hours you spent learning. Cheers for continuing to present the reality of language acquisition, as opposed to the "miracle" strategies spruiked elsewhere.

  52436. great tips!

  52437. I dont know you still reading your old videos comments but I am totally the opposite side of you. I never was an teacher (and never want to be in my own country because of personal reasons) but I like teaching adults, only adults, not childrens so starting with +20-80 years old people. Even I dont want to be a studied teacher person but I like teaching adults because teaching is in my blood. Both of my parents are teachers, my sister will be an History-English teacher, my mother side of grandmother was an teacher when she was younger but she dont working anymore because of her close to her 80 years. Many people saying I am very calm when I am explaning stuffs to adults but for childrens I cant be as calm as I can be with adults :D

  52443. I think your YouTube channel will blow up soon. I guess one good thing to come out of this very challenging time in the world (that you have more time to make these). Hope you are keeping safe etc. and same to everyone in the comments section!

  52449. Very gutsy video. A friend of mine lived in Japan in the 1990s and he told me about some seedy things he saw. (Interesting that you were mistaken for German. That must be a first.)

  52450. Wow - I'm trying to figure out how those boats move. They look like round tubs being waved around from the front. So unusual! There is probably an explanation on the internet, but I don't know what they are called to look them up. And a lovely passage on your 35 minute ride.

  52468. I know this is an old video and you'll never probably see this comment, since i am one of those "fans" you complained about for the past 2 years that would just watch a vid or two and never subscribe, i finally did and went back and have been binge watching. I always preferred your content over the actual "shock" someone because you had more in depth conversations. Just seeing how different you were with your former boyfriend and way you glowed when you first met Tommy. I could tell it was something different about him.
    1
  52469. What nice people. 🍻😻🍻
    1
  52470. Thank you! Tbh I can only say I'm fluent in 3 languages, even if I understand Spanish 100% and have lived in Spanish-speaking countries twice (I still don't really feel comfortable with the language). I can't stand to watch all these fake polyglots showing off for views, learning languages is HARD specially if you didn't learn it from your parents
    1
  52471. Merry Christmas (belated :)‼️ Been binge watching all your episodes so far! Keep going and you’ll hit a million subs in no time!! ♨️ Best from LA 💪🏻👽👍🏻

  52475. You look like that girl from the show pen15... I think that's pretty funny. Anyway, love your content and your charming personality :) Keep up the good work
    1
  52476. I've watched a lot of vids like this one over the past few weeks. I must say, so far you win. You speak Chinese the best.
    1
  52477. Great video! I know exactly the people you are talking about! And goes along with what we talked over on facebook with speaking the new language from day 1. I totally encourage my students to speak Japanese as much as possible because if they don't, they will find it harder to speak out loud the more the know and understand. Because then they actually realise how much they don't know.

  52488. Yankee originated long before the Civil War. Sure it was used by many in the south to disparage northerners (and still to this day is used by many.) The word Yankee originated in England. A "Yankee" is someone who is ignorant or stupid. The song Yankee Doodle Dandy which was adopted with pride by Americans was actually created in England to insult them. A "Dandy" is what they would call effeminate men.

  52505. So nice to be child. No filter whatsoever. Life is simpler when you just say what's on your mind. And also on the other hand, as a kid you don't take things said to you so seriously. Nowadays people get mad so easily over the most trivial things. Every word is offensive and insulting. We should try to be more free like the kids. Let go of the hate and just live a good life.
    1
  52506. It was very interesting to hear about your journey with Japanese! 😄(I think I needed to hear that to get some extra motivation!) I'm currently learning Japanese, I'm a beginner: I started 2 years ago before heading to Japan because I love the country and its culture, but I gave up after I'd say 5-6 months. Plus I'm a nerd for languages (I'm an interpreter and speak 6 languages...hopefully 7 with Japanese Ahah maybe one day 😅). At the time I was very busy at university, dealing with my other languages, and that's why I gave up. I have just started learning it again and this time for real: like you've said, making a little investment (like in my case with a teacher) can make the difference...it's another way to motivate yourself! I hope one day I'll be able to speak Japanese fluently, who knows 😇 Hearing about your experience really gives me hope and confidence so ありがとうございます 🤗

  52507. That’s awesome! 我以前也因为会说中文或者日文收到了免费的东西。 Northerners seem like a cool bunch. I’ve only lived in Fuzhou and Suzhou.

  52511. I've tried other language sites and got discouraged. They are hard to navigate sometimes. What tips do you offer.. do you have a video on using the site ? I'm going to try it out.

  52512. I started learning japanese a few months ago during nightshift. Do you have any tips for me? And i really want to meet people from Japan. I'm from Germany.

  52515. it has a horror movie feel to it

  52516. That was a really interesting experiment. It allowed us to see the complete change in their face, posture and voice when they finally heard you speak Japanese. Interesting that if the situation was reversed if I would 'stiffen-up' or not? I mean my language skills other than English are not that great but I believe I would relax & try to think of a solution, such as phone a friend or one of those translator gadgets. A question please - At the end of the video you were both walking the streets eating. I know somethings are looked down upon & some are fine. So for example how do us gaigins know when it's okay and when it's not okay to eat in public? Thank you.
    1
  52517. i’m studying japanese currently and i hope to be as fluent as you are one of these days! i have mastered hiragana, katakana, and about half of kanji. currently working on kanji and grammar. hardest parts. thank you for the video!

  52518. Congratulations 🥳 I love your videos. I’m going to teach a topic on Japan in my school (England) and may well show the class some of your videos. 😄👍🏻

  52519. I was once riding on a tram and there were 3 Japanese people talking. I can speak Japanese so I was listening to their impression of our city. But then the woman said something really funny and I burst out laughing. That was really awkward as I apologised in Japanese xD then we started chatting a bit and when they were leaving the tram, they gave me some Japanese snacks xD
    1
  52520. Dont get down :) its just until every chinese knows you xd
    1
  52521. Wow, just wow. Kind of inspired to get back to my own Japanese studies again after slacking for so long. Your language skills, that's my dream. Subbed so hopefully the next time you upload I'm inspired again.

  52523. From what i’ve noticed in my experiences being in Asian countries and about differences between the types of Asians there are notable differences in eye shape. Also style differs a lot. I like it how Koreans are so trendy and being creative with their hairstyles. I have yet to find out in Japan how it is though. I’ll bet that they are equally trendy.

  52531. What an amazing video. I wanted to exercise with the video as background, but I was glued to my chair for the whole 10 minutes. I could have watched for an hour, which would have impacted my routine, but I would have gladly watched the hour. I'm watching in Jamaica, and enjoyed this interaction with the Japanese whom I admire. Why? I spent a short time in Los Angeles and interacted with so many nationals at Griffith Park, looking down on LA through the smog. I found the Japanese to be the most interesting people, quiet and respectful. To now hear this gentleman say, that he finds a more tolerant and inclusive atmosphere in the US, the total opposite of my experience, means, there seems to be a stark difference between the Japanese at home and those abroad. Pity. I'm now subscribed, and hope to enjoy many more of your videos.

  52532. Why all foreigners want to be an English teacher in China

  52533. Oriental Pearl that s kinda sucks I’d rather see expats contribute in more variable options like engineering sectors that. Would be more fun to interact with more just like a language teaching machine to make quick money n sponsor the traveling then bounce u know what I mean bro but I have no offense gal cheers happy international women’s day🌹
    1
  52534. I’m so glad you did this. I wasted a lot of time when starting thinking that I can’t learn a second language because I couldn’t live up to these fake polyglots. Now that I know my target language a little better I can tell I was being lied too. I still suck at my language, but I know it’s a long road ahead that I look forward to it now ever since discovering Matt vs Japan a while back.

  52551. Funny enough I told my sweetheart yesterday that Japan doesnt celebrate Halloween that much besides small parties, or one big event. Not much with candy or even super scary things, I cant wait to go back home in Osaka Japan and get to celebrate a lot of events and everything with my family again. This video made me so happy but also so sad, but I know I'll be able to see my family soon!🥰🥰🥰🥰

  52552. Been watching most of your video, like it. Amaze by your Chinese and Japanese skill. Me and fam went to Japan in 2019, really love Shirakawago, good times just before pandemic hit. We wish we can go again to Japan someday. Good video, great language skill !!

  52589. Why tape these videos,.. jeez why do people tape themselves eating copious amounts of food or of doing really dumb stupid things to themselves and getting injured, like? If thats your youtube channel then yeah you gotta film it, its what you do. If someone finds the topics boring or stupid they shouldn’t click on to begin with.

    1
  52591. Thanks Anming for your visual insight on Chinese & Japanese culture. Until this video explanation, I never really understood why foreigners who speak Mandarin didn't say "thank you" when complimented on their Mandarin. Your explanation really made sense. Humbly, I'm gonna work harder on learning Mandarin. Maybe one day I'll become as fluent as you lol.

  52608. Harajuku culture has changed a lot but the concepts are still the same. The second hand stores are the best place to find clothes still, people wouldn't always be able to buy expensive new clothes so they'd make their own outfits from second hand clothing and hand me downs so it kinda birthed a whole culture like punk rock in the West with the whole DIY thing. Those styles that people tend to recognise are not popular anymore so it's really what she was getting at. The heyday was really in the 90's and the early to mid 00's when these styles were majorly popular. It's more of a niche thing now I think and Harajuku is less and less of a hangout for it like it used to be. I think the rise in tourism and Harajuku becoming much more tourist friendly is partially to blame because people didn't really want to be a tourist attraction to enjoy their fashion hobby. Wonder where she gets her hair done. Candye Syrup is really popular in Harajuku and they do a lot of the hair so wonder if she goes there too.

  52612. So when you learn Chinese and Japanese. do you try to repeat what people say while you are for example, watching TV, movies etc. so you can have the local accent as well?
    1
  52613. Another great vid Mrs Pearl .. from my perspective you doing a great job of getting people interested in learning a language I my self like German I was born in Berlin Germany to English parents ...I lost my German language when we moved back to the uk .. but went back to night school to relearn what I class as my mother tongue .. and eventually returned on a holiday to Germany/Austria .. even though my German was of a school boy standard it got me by and the German people really liked the effort I put in to speak the language .. at the min on youtube I follow your self and 3 other Chinese speakers and 2 polyglots i dont understand 90 % of what they say without subtitles but love watching them interreact with people

  52621. So did you learn all these languages through Pimsleur only, or other resources as well? What was your process? Started with pimsler and then...? Did you start integrating movies or YouTube videos listening to the languages? Did you use other resources as well? Like one-on-one lessons. What was your method, please?

  52640.  @OrientalPearl  That's right. In China mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, when a pretty girl walks through, guys will stare at her. In Japan, no one will stare at the girl except for the nanpa guys. or simply put, Japanese dont like to look at strangers.

  52644. Kool ❤

  52645. I think that these videos are only cool at the beginning, but very soon they become useless in excess They usually don't encourage people to learn language and only work on their own "beauty" and "special abilities" they have. These guys, if they speak the amount the languages they claim to speak, they should talk more about the importance of speaking diverse languages and keep contact with different people with different country. Being more "cultural" in general. Also, they should talk how the learning of languages can change our brain, our way of thinking, and the way as we see the world. This kind of thing just enforces useless things, such as pride, stereotypes about people and things like that.

  52646. Oriental Pearl We just got locked down. Keep up making your videos so we can smile and have hope...

  52653. Virus out of nowhere? And you're going back to China!? lol. Not picking on you or really laughing at you. Just sounded funny hearing those two things together. Probably most countries aren't going to slam you for an inadvertent overstay or anything. Some would, but your situation wasn't so bad I don't think.

  52677. Here in Hakodate people are more surprised if you don’t speak Japanese. Everyone seems to do so here.
    1
  52678. That part where you spoke about not realising you had an accent is a normal reaction. Most people don't realise they have an accent at all. I can hear that I have a British accent, but I can't hear my regional accent and that's the part that confuses me the most as my regional accent is typically rather pronounced and hard to miss for other people

  52684. Just a decade ago, these homeless people still live in Ueno Park. My mom was first introduced to poverty in Japan there, we were just careful but had lovely interactions with a lady who took her pet rabbit for a walk and old men who were feeding cute cats. They didn't have much but loved animals. The park has changed so much and homeless people pushed out to the above-mentioned areas for one. I too walked around Shin Sekai two decades ago before it was cleaned out. Not an area girls walk even during the day. Took a wrong turn. 🤣🤣🤣Thank you for showing us various aspects Japan. Amazing.

  52703. In recent years. Many girls have opted to make the chocolate to give. Handmade choco. Giri choco is also big in Japan. I think it's mostly for giving to bosses/coworkers/friends. I'm sure you already know about white day, in which guys return the chocolate favor to the girls that gave them chocolate/giri choco on Valentines day. It's also common to see couple sets in restaurants. Some places even offer discounts to people that are single and eat alone. It's interesting. There are also protests by single people waving black banners etc. It's pretty strange.

  52722. Thanks for talking about this. I know my own expectations were unrealistically set because of those YT shysters. It's been painful to have to adjust my perspectives as I've grappled with how monumental the task is to actually learn a new language.
    1
  52723. I enjoy watching this channel because it is genuine👍. You speak fluently while others only know a few phrases. They claim to know an absurd amount of languages, but they speak a few phrases👎. Thanks for your suggestions.

  52724. ​ @OrientalPearl  Oh never mind my comment, was not literally meant but as a joke. Only if people are also on tiktok, some people might know what I meant. I also wasn't on tiktok until 1-2 months ago (being a millenial) but now sometimes I can enjoy it and there are funny things. Anyway in (Japanese) anime series you have these girl or sometimes guy characters who supposedly don't have time to have breakfast. As a slapstick result they run towards the bus or even while riding a bike with a slice of bread or even crazier things in their mouth on their way to school. On tiktok a real life joke version of this is made, it's an Asian American guy though. Anyway I love your videos, keep it up and thanks for the reply

  52737. Ah, I'm also from Detroit, MI and it's good to hear that your family is fine. We're fine over here as well. I'd like to say that I respect the amount of studying and work you put into your language skills. It's good that you're humble too. I've also learned more about the cultures as well. I've said before that while research isn't a bad thing to do, it's even better, I might even lean to MUCH better, when you actually visit the actual country. You can learn about a lot of things from the locals. I like culture as a whole, but I really like Asian culture. Whether it be language, mythology, entertainment, history, etc. Personally, I don't just watch these videos for the reactions, even though they're adorable. I watch for the exchange of culture. Asking each other about your background. You can really see their eyes light up when you take the time to learn about who they are as people you know? Even if you say your Chinese is ok, like many people who do these videos do out of humility, they are usually proud of the ethic of your work and how well you are able to communicate with them while speaking Chinese or Japanese. Complex or basic, it's about the fact, emphases on fact, that you learned how to speak so well, that you have native speakers themselves confirming your abilities from said studies. That's what I take out of that as a whole. I enjoy these videos, thank you. By the way, it's funny you brought up how it used to irritate you to actually get that reaction when you were just trying to be in and right back out. I can see that, because I'm not always in the mood to talk yeah? But it's such a nice thing at the same time. Because of the culture involved in it. It's cool that you don't mind it as much this time and you actually enjoy it. That's also important. But anyway, this is quite long winded and if you read it all thank you lol. I hope you continue to have good experiences wherever you go!

  52746. I lived and worked in Japan for 22 years. I worked in IT, but only for the global banks. Very few IT jobs for westeners in Japanese companies, unless you have Japanese language certification as well. The global banks want people that can speak English in their IT department, as they need to work with teams in other countries. So I never taught English.

I'm japanese descendant but actually brazilian, writting english on a foreign in Japan video? xD I've been to Japan twice, don't know the language a whole lot, wish I knew more. :P So... big cities like Tokyo, Kyoto and others might give an impression that lots of foreigners live in Japan, because relatively speaking in these big cities there are a reasonable ammount of them. I think tourists might give that impression, because tourism to Japan is big and exploding in recent years. I really mean exploding, if I'm not mistaken, Japan is the country where tourism has been expanding the most worldwide in recent years. But actually, foreigners living in Japan is still not a big number. Ok, relative to what? To give a better idea. Well, in comparison to almost all developed nations worldwide, Japan still has a very small immigrant population both in absolute numbers and percentage relative to the japanese population. This comes both from the language and culture barrier, the geographical barrier, and then immigration policies barrier. Put this in numbers to give a better idea. According to the most recent surveys, which is statistics from some 5 years ago, the immigrant population in Japan composes some 1.75% of the population. Tokyo has a higher number, but it's not by a whole lot, at 2.9%. The population of Japan is a little over 98% ethnic japanese. So it's something like 2.something million in Japan as a whole, less than half a million in Tokyo alone, given that Tokyo is the densest urban center in the world (Tokyo has almost 14 million people). These are very approximate numbers because they were taken from years old statistics, but still (you can find it all on Wikipedia). How does it compare to other developed countries? Most are close to or on the double digits. So, several countries in Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, etc... they all have 10 to 20% of the population as immigrants/foreigners. Developing and poor countries are kind of a mix because you usually have negative numbers... more people going to other countries than getting in, becomes kinda complicated to do the math. About why and how japanese people get surprised... it might not only be about a foreigner speaking japanese. If you guys watch other channels with foreigners living in Japan you will probably already know this. But here are some other things that may... surprise, cause a different reaction, for japanese people - speaking loudly, the entire vlogging thing, weird intonation/pronunciation/accents, non-verbal language. And really, if you think carefully about it, that would probably be the case in your own country too. There usually is a collection of local habits, cultural behaviour and whatnot that, when not detected, would cause a reaction too. xD Obviously, for a country that has such a homogenous ethnicity, looks can surprise too. But I think other factors play a bigger part than people might think. Anyways, fully agreed with the rest. People who intend to visit Japan someday, I highly recommend taking time both to visit the big cities, the big tourist attractions, but also see if you can find sometime to visit smaller towns, more rural Japan. I'm gonna cheat and say I love both. In fact, I kinda dream of living there someday, and my neighborhood of choice (ideally of course) would be somewhere between 1 to 2 hours away from Tokyo... surprisingly, that's far enough to be away from all the noise, rush and fast living of Tokyo, because the city is very packed. On my first trip there I stayed half way to Saitama, and the second trip I stayed in Chiba, close to Narita station. Personally, I have to say that while I enjoyed Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and big cities a lot, it's were we stayed most of the time, the places I really felt a connection with the culture were outside the urban centers... empty streets, well maintained (but not like, super well renovated and whatnot) old buildings, places not as well prepared to receive tourists. That side of Japan is slowly going away unfortunately... partially because of the increase in tourism, opening to more immigrants, part because of aging population, and how parts of older traditional culture are being lost with the aging population. Japan still does a remarkable job to keep traditional culture alive intermixed with modern culture, but it's hard to keep it going given the situation. Anways, wrote too much already... thanks for sharing!

  52767. to be honest, no-one speaks their own native language to 100% fluency, just flick through the dictionary and you'll see words you may not recognise and are not used in every day communication, but you would be considered a native speaker. Therefore speaking more than one lang to any degree would make you a polyglot (PG), even if you could only say 'Hi, how are you, my name is xyz...' Sure, that would make you a weaker PG, but a PG nonetheless. However I agree, it is wrong to try to sell language programmes to others, if a PG doesn't know enough to transmit those language ideas in the first place. So I can't really say if there is such a thing as a 'fake' or 'real' PG. Thanks Anming.

  52845. Good call getting that mama chari. The area you are in seems pretty flat so should be a good grocery cart! Cycling in a skirt is always a challenge. Too long and it can get sucked into the gears and too short will attract, well, that guy. Wearing tights underneath is a good way to avoid harassment in general. I wasn't worried about you for a second as I'm sure you can kick his creepy "Kimpatsu ja-nai-no" ass if he tried anything stupid and with everything on tape, the guy cant lie his way out of it. Really enjoyed this video and hope to see more like it!

  52846. If you're looking to show shocked faces, you should also help Americans who are visiting, so they can show you their shocked faces. I'm sure they don't expect someone who looks like you and sounds American to also speak the language(s).

  52847. I've never really tried to learn any language, but since I was surrounded by loads of languages since I was a kid, now I can speak fluently in 4 languages (English excluded), but my grammar sucks balls in all of them. If you'd ask me, I think that you can't say that you know the language untill you can think and understand context or word play without hearing it before. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't plan out meals and I get home with a bunch of snacks and sweets with no meals. Curse my sweet tooth! Impulse buys get me every time. Those look so yummy, the best I can get for Japanese snacks are a frozen pre-made Moshi in the frozen desserts section or you can find Pocky's in Canadian supermarkets as well!

  52889. ha， yesterday I found a channel. At first I found it helpful but then I watched a video of his, where he spoke 8 languages to explain how he "keeps" these languages and he said he was going for Chinese. I was like, hmmm, actually you still need some work to polish what you have learned...... Polyglot sounds great, but language learning isn't about how many you can, but about if you really speak this language.
    1
  52890. Love it! keep them coming and thanks for the work you do. Cheers from Canada

  52891. I just discovered your channel! My partner of 8 years is Chinese and from Lonkau and it’s embarrassing that to this day I still only know a few words. Anyway I love what you’re doing. You have such an awesome, generous and down to earth energy. It’s really inspiring me to get back into studying mandarin again!
    1
  52892. I'm so jealous that you can speak so many languages and have the opportunity to live abroad. I'm a 22 years old Taiwanese-Canadian still in undergrad in Canada. The only foreign language I actually mastered is French and my Mandarin is lackluster. I realized Chinese in Taiwan is different from the Chinese from China. I still have my Taiwanese accent when I speak basic Chinese. The only good expressions I know are used when I roast people and argue with my parents in Chinese. If you like Taiwanese bubble tea, I recommend 春水堂 , where bubble tea was first invented in Taiwan, in Taichung, my hometown.

  52893. It really is possible to be good at languages if you want to. I'm from Germany and recently learning Arabic in English. Its possible if you just want to. :)

  52894. To explain it simply for your fans because I support the truth you are sharing... These guys are exactly the same as if you saw a man come from a jungle tribe, and he says "Hellow, I smile for you to see." We would be impressed he could say anything at all. So they learn a few phrases, "I like food belly" "I friend to you" These are very simple and incorrect sentences, if an American said them we would think they were retarded, but if man from a jungle tribe said them we would be polite ad amazed we understand anything at all. Your guitar analogy can be better, my analogy is HELLO. I can say hello, yes and no in maybe ten languages, the only difference between me and fakes is that they memorized a few more words and very common phrases.
    1
  52895. Thanks for listening to your new subscribers when we asked for more of these! These are amazing and so fun to watch! Glad these are helping kill your boredom while you’re stuck in Japan. I just hope you get to keep doing these when you eventually return home to China, which I hope for you won’t be too much longer. Keep up this great content! Make sure to monetize your videos. And watch your checks get bigger. Much love from Seattle. 🥰

There is no law that says we can't learn languages or travel and blend in with different cultures, Diversity is so beautiful and fusion make things more interesting! 😃 I also think there is a lack of love and understanding these days😥 you are a human being and should be treated with respect, those people that are giving negative / hate feedback are not happy at all, they are sending negative energy to try to bring you down because they are in a dark place. Shine bright Pearl and don't let those ignorant people dim your light. Much love from New York! You and your friend are Brave, Smart and Beautiful inside and out💙❤

  52909. So as I was watching your video, I was taking note of what you guys were having in the coffee shop. While I know you guys were having coffee, I got to wondering if you’ve noticed what kinds of tea the Japanese like drinking at their tea shops or emporiums?
    1
  52910. I don't know why but I've noticed that Chinese people get really interested and curious when you speak Chinese in front of them. But if you talk Japanese in front of a Japanese person they don't look nearly as interested even if they ask questions.

  52913. I attended Sophia University International Division in the early 70’s…. And as I rode the daily train or walked the neighborhood there was 99% chance of hearing kids yell “ gaijin” or reacting to me, it became quite tiresome because it was alllll the time! I had studied Japanese before moving to Japan, so I could negotiate an easy conversation…. Loved Japan, but being a young university student that long ago was to really stick out… and look how you still do today. Enjoy your videos.

  52915. I've watched many language videos similar to yours, but usually by Americans in American Chinatowns. Yours are legit, the real deal. Why learning in an immersive environment is the way to grok the true value of a second and third language. I was stationed in Germany in the 70s and still understand most Germans and enough to be understood by them 40 years later. Very encouraging. Best of luck in your adventures.

  52916. You should learn Korean! It's very similar to Japanese (grammar and vocab) and the vocab is similar to Chinese (well both Japanese and Korean are obviously). I personally find Korean easier but I might be biased because I consume a lot of Korean media, rather than Japanese or Chinese. However, I find spelling much easier in Japanese than Korean haha.

  52942. Youre a big motivation to learn fluent japanese

  52943. I'm learning Korean so this is not helping me, but I love watching people speak the languages they've studied. It's kind of a funny thing that you have to play down your skills and compliment others, because that is all I do. That just stems from low self esteem, however it's so hard to do that in America because if you don't just say thank you right away when people give you compliments, they get annoyed. So I always have to remember that and I say thank you even though I don't feel comfortable doing so. Especially because it can get annoying for people if you constantly put yourself down, but that is just how my brain has worked for the last 7 years if not more.

  52969. I do agree I think it’s disingenuous to claim you’re a polyglot when you can’t do anything but recite and work around the small simpler conversations that people can learn within weeks of studying a language. As well as selling their methods as a magic bullet. But on the other hand I do admire their balls to go out and speak to natives at their low level and when they attempt to speak in rarer languages with people who probably never get to use their language outside of family and maybe when they visit their homeland. It probably makes their day because they never get to have that opportunity even with a beginner. By the way as someone learning Japanese I would actually be interested in watching/listening to “normal friendly conversations” in Japanese. If the audience for that type of thing is too small for you to bother with it, I understand. But for me it sounds like it would be nice listening practice.

  52970. I got a rosetta stone ad for this video. 笑死我了

  52971. People say it is easy to stay slim in Japan, okay okay, wait till you taste the salmon and tuna, we'll see hahahha. I think most people who say rude things in public has more to do with people wanting to fit in and create a common "us and them, normal and fat" thing, it is very human, and I actually don't think most people actively are trying to be malicious, they just want to assert their own place in the peking order, not saying it is okay or nice, just ssaying it often comes from being insecure themselves and curious to a certain extend. So meeting them with compassion is an amazing difuser and often they are geniouinly curious. Shame is so ingrained in Japanese culture and society, because it was a way of survival from the Shogun era. It is more so of a reflex than people trying to mess with others, keep that in mind if you visit Japan

I've been dabbling in French and German too recently. I think there's nothing wrong with going out there practicing your languages with natives or it will be hard to improve!

  52985. Hi , I have been a fan of your channel for a long time!! You're one of my favorite YouTubers to watch during my spare time!! It has been dream of mine to study abroad since middle school but I never did it during high school cause I got too nervous to ask my parents for permission!! I graduated high school last year of 2020!! Instead of going to college right away like everyone else , I just a did gap year - a year break between college and high school!! My original plan after high school was to study abroad in China for a year but clearly my plans never happened 😅 Ever since high school graduation , I been stuck at home , just dog sitting and becoming stay at home daughter. It's hard to get a job where I live at and you need a car to get to places but I don't have a car or job!! It's kinda feels like I'm falling behind my former classmates and disappointment to my parents like I feel their expectations or wasting my potential!! I have a dream which is to study abroad and travel the world!! I wanna learn new language and get to know different people and cultures!! I wanna get out of this American bubble and see what's out there!! Do you have any advice for me? Especially how to afford study abroad? Or how to find a good program?

  52986. The manner of the videos is more important than what the title is. I almost feel sorry for the people on the other end of the conversation who don't speak as many languages and probably feel a bit stupid and patronized. I certainly would never consent to be in any of those videos, because they will make the speaker look good and me look foolish. If they want to be admired, they should buy a mirror. I'm not here to entertain anyone else or be fodder for content. it doesn't normalize language learning, it puts people on a pedestal above others. I do like videos where people who speak another language (just one) live or travel within another country and use it to communicate but ultimately deliver real-life content (Pearl included) instead of going "oh I'm going to shock the locals, going to stun them" . J-vloggers for instance often don't really make it the point of their videos that they speak Japaense, and I appreciate that. Bald and Bankrupt goes all over the former USSR and delivers quality without ever really 'showing off' his Russian. Harald Baldr doesn't speak any of the languages of the places he goes to but tries anyway, and gets great things done. Paul Barbato of Geography Now speaks English, Korean and French but understands the limitations of his ability in the latter two languages, often playing it into self-deprecating humor while making educational content. I can't really stomach another xiomanyc video, I get he's smart and all but really, it doesn't do it for me at all. It's like nothing is safe anymore from this guy. What's next, Atreides battle language?

  52997. I always enjoy the shock videos but had a feeling it may have been a bit too good to be true Thank you for setting it straight. It is probably no different than seeing an Asian person speaking English. It's kind of expected if you live in a country where people speak the designated dominant language. In the States, shock reactions are a lot less. Decades back one might get a comment like your English is really good, and it was mainly in locales down in the southern US or rural areas.

  53008. I don't know why I keep coming back to watching Anming's videos. This is about the 100th time I'm re-watching this. Heartwarming. Chinese people are one of the most friendly Asians despite America's acrimony towards them.

  53010. 虽然现在很多西方人开始学中文，但总的来说数量还是很少的。原因也很简单，西方的经济，科技，文化仍然处于领先地位，人们不用学别的语言文化。相反非西方为了追赶西方，必须得学英语，中国也不例外，同时还得学本民族的文化历史，中国人又是特别上进的民族，高考要考英语，所以中国的学生是最累的。当未来中国的经济，科技，文化处于领先地位了，西方人为了国家进步，为了赚钱，为了生存也不得不学学中文的时候，学中文才会成为普遍现象。

  53014. As a foreigner when I spend time in Japan I don't feel like I stand out much. There are tons of foreigners around and people just go about their lives. In China though outside of the primary cities I often feel like a novelty and will get people of all ages coming up to me for photos etc. The two countries are on totally different levels when it comes to how much a foreigner sticks out.

  53016. I've been waiting for this video for a long time. Thanks so much. I just bought the Pimsleur course to learn Italian. Both you and Xiaoma recommend Pimsleur. Also, have you ever tried to learn any of the Indo-European languages and how does this compare to learning an Asian language?

  53022. The concept of "Appropriation" here in the U.S. has gotten way out of hand. People see something different shout appropriation and simply stop thinking. It's intellectually lazy. I'm American of Japanese descent. People wouldn't think twice if I wore a yukata but technically I'm probably more American than most. Can I not play Jazz music or cook BBQ? Cross cultural mixing is the way societies move forward. Japan itself is sprinkled with bits of Chinese and Korean cultures. The question isn't appropriation, it is about respecting the culture or not and that takes just a little bit of thinking before speaking.
    1
  53023. That is great you can stay there for a while but why would you want to live any where else beside American and Canada? Visiting other country's is fun and you get to see other cultures and places but living in Canada or American is the best. I am born in Canada and I love traveling to see other country's but would never live outside of Canada or America.

  53024. I have a question!😅 I am also a language student, who is submersed in foreign language constantly as well. When you were first learning to speak, did you find yourself exhausted after speaking a foreign language all day? I find that my brain is litterally exhausted after speaking and reading in another language all day...😅😅😭😭😭😭

  53056. I’m a chinese descent, I look Chinese, i speak mandarin fluently, and even people like me gets the ‘WOW YOU SPEAK SUCH GOOD MANDARIN’ like they’re amazed when i was living and working in Beijing. It doesn’t just happen to foreigners like you (non Chinese looking) Now, I live in Japan, you don’t get that much reaction from city folks with the ‘NIHONGO WA JOUZU DESU NE’ but if you just go a little into the inaka or meet old folks they be impressed af you can spit out basic tourist phrases lol but half the time i wondered if its just tatemae (am i really jouzu?). I’m an accidental polyglot (just 8 languages), i just naturally speaks a lot of languages growing up due to family and environment (the languages i actually bothered to put effort to learn were Japanese-self learn/8 yrs language school, Korean-self learned and french-secondary language offered by school during high school years) i picked up Indonesian just by hanging out with friends from church since young. I think part of why these videos get bad rep was i felt it was gimmicky at times. I saw one long time ago through yt rec that goes something like ‘white guy speaks perfect Chinese.’ And i was like bruh, how is that perfect Chinese. What an exaggeration. Am I being a snob? Maybe, but the pronunciation wasn’t even accurate imo. How is that perfect? At least phrase it as attempted to speak Chinese. That word perfect is being abused way too much. m2c PS: Its great to learn a lot of languages, and its their prerogative to flex. But don’t make clickbait-y videos. Also, btw your Mandarin is fantastic. Some accent here and there still, but overall, if you said you speak perfect Chinese, it’s legit

    1
  53060. Wow, that was incredible, so interesting! It seems to me that when it comes to the real life of foreigners in Japan, this is always a great plot for a video. Even as a tourist you experience some difficulties and peculiarities of mentality, but when you live there, it's a whole new level.
    1
  53061. Great video! It's great to see you communicating with locals. (Super tiny correction but I guess he said the market started in 1925 at 4:00)

  53069. Church in China? What? I live in China, my city has no western churches. We also have no schools that teach Chinese to foreigners. Self study isn't good enough. How I learned? My wife is Chinese, and our kids don't speak English. My wife's advice, "just FIng talk." Learning while living in small city China is hard. Speaking and not being afraid of being teased is the way to go. And no matter how good your fluency, in China as a foreigner you will always be teased, at least once you understand well enough to know what is being said. Get thick skin, and just Fing talk.

  53073. I really do like your videos! You get Portuguese egg tarts in a shop in China town from a Japanese woman… I did much the same here in Canada (Prince Rupert town) where I went to a Greek restaurant, was served Chinese food by an East Indian. LOL I too, didn’t know what language to speak when I asked for chop sticks; I’m still not sure what they’re called in Hindi or Punjabi! I think they just use English words for that. Got my meaning across though. Then a girl came out who spoke Mandarin to me (I took a semester in university and did terribly), curiously most Chinese in Prince Rupert speak Cantonese. Mandarin classes were so long ago…and it was very classroom oriented. Not helpful when I wanted to order food at a restaurant or discuss the weather. I could tell the waitress that I studied Chinese in classroom 222 and there were 12 of us in the class, but the only food I could order was “chi fun”. (Rice, I’m trying to say)

  53077. As a white American woman in her 30's who has studied Chinese off and on since I was a teenager, these videos help me be less afraid to use my Chinese. For introverts like me, it's extremely hard to speak a foreign language. Even when I understand the conversations taking place around me, I'm afraid to open my mouth and make mistakes. That is a big part of why I'm not fluent yet after all these years. I love the language, but I don't actually use it.

I really like your post. Because I can see Japan through you. One thing I want to ask is that everyone smiles and doesn't look good. If you send a greeting, will you be greeted in the same way? can't wait next video.modo modo 😂😂

  53110. Japanese gangsters have common policies to keep themselves underground and not involve themselves to overground people. They are fighting against each other somewhere where overground people are not involved. They are doing literally self segregation to underground society. Yakuza in American movie is not realistic at all. Many English speaking foreigners living in Tokyo always say that Tokyo is homogeneous. But they have misconception that diversity of skin colors is equal to diversity and to their eyes, those foreign communities in Japan seem invisible. If you go to convenience stores especially in Tokyo, it is inevitable to find foreign workers in most of them. For example, English speaking cluster in Tokyo and Mainland Chinese cluster in Tokyo have no intercommunication to each other normally. Both of them almost think that foreigners are only themselves in Tokyo. Generally speaking, I feel that Chinese viewpoints are more precise and objective because English speaker’s viewpoint is often very biased with “Orientalism”, “Only in Japan ism” and “We, the west, They, the eat(But the west is merely Anglo immigrants countries like Canada, Australia and NZ.On the other hand there is no one East culture.) Your role is very important and unique in a very good way.

  53136. Hmm.. isn't it an Obvious that People are Actually a Social living-being. I mean is, most of People love to Interact with others (strangers or you may say foreigners to be exact), but one of People Basic behaviour is "Shy" (or closely to become afraid, sometimes..). Like you've mentioned in some of your Videos, that most of people are likely become 'afraid' to make mistakes (in making a good communication). It's like uhh.. worried to humiliates themselves in front of another people because of the limited knowledge of some stuffs they barely not know about (people call it) : Foreign Language. As for my self, i didn't had that kind of luxury stuff as you got (well studied and got good schools and even Universities in some Countries).. I learned Foreign Languages by myself (i'd rather say it : some coincidences which had happened in my life-journey.. hahhaa.. ^_^' ) Most of 'em, i learned while i'm doing my job (lately, i used to be worked as an Interpreter for English-Mandarin and doing Customer Services for China Airlines and China Southern Airlines ~ Speaker only, at the Airport of SHIA ~ Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Indonesia year 2010-2019). But some i got from watching movies and internet, too.. ^_^' I believe that Everyone were Created and Born into this World so Good and Perfectly by God Himself. But the environments of where People Live, makes them "into something" what they become now. Not mentioned about the influence of the Culture, Family heritage, Religion (some are quite-fanatics, though), and so on and so on.. and those things made boundaries among the People itself.. ^.^' End of words.., i really like your videos. Ganbatte kudasai ne'.. Jia-You.. >_<' (Rēmy, 41yrs old, Jakarta - Indonesia) Ps : i'm sorry if types many mistaken or incorrect words. 'Cause i ain't doin a Google Translate. L.o.L~~

  53162. Well I know English so why work hard to learn any other language, I will just be jealous and hate on people who can understand multiple languages because it's easier then putting in effort to understand and learn the different languages and cultures
    1
  53163. Oh, you don’t know Russian? I thought you were Russian. You get a lot of that in China because they see more Russians there. I might be able to detect a poor Irish speaker, but I was never any good at speaking it myself. Direct translations into English is very poetic. Instead of saying, “I am tired, “, or “I am sick”, they say, “there’s tiredness on me”, and “there’s sickness on me”.

  53183. I just speak spanish and bad-written-spoken-English even though I have grow up with the language since I was a 4 year child, Im trying to learn by myself japanese and german but....at times I feel really bad with myself everytime I find videos about a bunch of people speaking more than 5 languagues.. because Idk how they can make that..or the way that they sell that you can learn a bunch a languages in short time it really drops down the reality.
    1
  53184. Wow your rickshaw guy was so personable and funny. Kinda cute too lol
    1
  53185. Regrettably, Duolingo is all I've currently got time for. There does, I would argue, exist a certain sense of satisfaction just in the act of learning itself ( particularly if you love the people/culture ), but I admit that it's ALWAYS accompanied by a genuine desire for more. I have a Japanese-American co-worker who is both friendly and patient, whi is able to answer this gaijin's (annoying? ) questions. But I always crave more immersion...which, given my own limited time/funds, leads often enough to a certain degree of exasparation.

  53188. Wait, because I'm not sure but I've been studying English actively for just about two years but my fluency level is quite high like I wouldn't call myself a master in this language or by any means a native speaker but I'm just curious from other people experiences is it possible for me that I learned so many English in just about two years. It's to the level where I can communicate on daily basis and have pretty much conversation on any topic. I still sometimes need the help of a dictionary, like I said I do not claim I'm a native, I'm just curious if I'm faking or I really am kind of good at it.
    1
  53189.  @OrientalPearl  Thank you, it's just weird because it's my second language and I'm quite confident in it. (I literally was actively learning for just two years so I'm not sure if that's enough for becoming fluent)

  53190. Out of all the languages you speak, do you have a favorite? I really like how you sound when you speak Chinese. Just beautiful. But of course the universal language is a beautiful and genuine smile and friendliness. Which you have.

  53237. Not sure if you’ve done this already, but i would love to see a video about how foreign women can protect themselves in japan, ive heard a lot of horror stories on how the police will always side with the non foreigner most of the time, us not being able to carry weapons to defend ourselves, etc, and it’s one of the big things holding me back from ever wanting to visit. Loving the longer videos btw!

  53240. 8:44 it always amazes me when people have an estimate of their vocab knowledge😅 but i think in a video or on insta you showed that you keep track of everyword you learn in a document right? part of me wants to make a list cause im curious and the other parts too lazy lol i just learn by seeing. for example 핑계 was on the same page 3 times so now i know its "excuse" and i related with 낯가리다 (uncomfortable around strangers) so i know it after seeing it just once. i make lists when im bored, but i dont study them😅 anyway it was fun to see your experience! thanks for sharing❤❤ 😊

  53245. You are amazing. I’m so envious that you have such a gift for languages. You must have a musical ear. So in conclusion having knowledge of Japanese and Chinese helped? ❤

  53257. I dont get the "Sex, Fame, and Fortune based off a lie" Almost every popular polyglot I've seen says when complimented by native speakers "I'm still working on it" or "No, I'm not great." The fact someone learns a foreign language is respectable. If I, a white guy, met a white guy in America who could speak just one foreign language, never mind multiple, I would give them props for that.

  53258. I went to Japan before for a visit to a friend's place and the whole time I was there, since I'm Asian, they speak Japanese to me. I only know a little bit so I have to tell them I don't know how to speak Japanese. So, I won't have the same experience like you do lol. I did however was able to talk a bit with this one traditional sweet shop owner though. It is a nice experience.
