Chinese Speaking White Guys Catch Gossiping Nail Salon Workers Red Handed
Want to learn Chinese or any other language from my own courses? Check out: www.streetsmartlanguages.com/
The other day we white guys who speak perfect Chinese went out to NYC’s Chinatown to the nail salon. They were “gossiping” about us (in a loving way!), not realizing we spoke Mandarin, and then we totally shocked them by switching to Chinese! We ended up having a really deep and interesting conversation with them in Mandarin and the rare Chinese dialect of Fuzhounese.
So to find out what they are REALLY saying about you at Asian nail salons…just watch the video! It was a funny prank / social experiment but also a really meaningful experience. Plus of course it’s interesting if you’re interested in language learning!

You have mastered a very hard language I tried a little of it it is hard.
Pplppp
I feel embarrassed to be American. There’s nothing happening in this video worth photographing, publishing or watching.
In the future, you must wait until you've paid and are out the door before letting on that you speak the language. I GUARANTEE you, you will have a far juicier video.!!
Ok
We all know the nail lady went home and told her daughter “you know there’s this white guy who can speak better than you”
Uncon Trollable - BRUH
it do be like dat sometimes doe😔
Uncon Trollable 😂😂yep
If her daughter sees this thts gonna be funny
Literallu how it goes in my house with spanish lol
“I speak only a little to be honest” *Proceeds to speak so well that actual Chinese woman talks trash about her own daughter and praises him to the heavens*
It's funny that the white guys have fake modesty. They both know that they speak great Chinese and play it off every time with the locals. The women just love them....
@@goaley45 That's a cultural thing. It's quite rude to accept compliments in China, so by playing down or denying their skill they're doing the polite thing, not hamming it up.
@@blumie21 this ^^^
Lol well she is Asian though, so obviously she would be talking trash about her own daughter XD
It's much easier to speak fluent-sounding than it is to understand, you can prepare entire dialogues in your head if you're the one going to add something to the conversation but you could be caught off-guard if the conversation changes and you haven't prepared any dialogue for the subject
I love how they didn't get snarky when the lady was talking trash, but won her over with good personality and kindness. Show a great maturity and lack of pettiness. Well done really enjoyed watching.

Yeah it's nice to see people overcome their differences and connect it's so wholesome
It want trash, it’s normal for gossip, lol
And I think he studied in a china environment so that he has that kind of nature, and Asian people are very used to gossip so like lol
Yeah plus what she said was pretty fair without context lol
i can't even imagine how many social credits this guy has

She wasn’t even that rude, it IS kinda weird to just be filmed without knowing what’s going on and she was really nice after he started speaking Chinese :)
I mean she wasn't even being rude before he started speaking chinese, I have no doubt they've had a few crazy Karens
Agreed. Everyone is saying she was rude in the comments, and she definitely was not! There are some crazy people out there... and it wasn't like she continued to berate them. She was sweet and funny tbh.

True.
@@Alina-kj2zw That IS rude.

Sean Buchanan or in Chinese : nah , you’ve got to have crazier people than us.
omgggg YES
Sean Buchanan it’d be funnier
This is one of favorites so far. It was nice to see the nail tech open up to you. You made her feel special by praising her culture in a place where her culture isn’t usually praised.
would you feel the same if it was a white woman speaking that way to a Chinese man who appeared to not know English?
As someone who’s Chinese, he’s super fluent in the language like holy- Probably better than me in all honesty. The thing is, it’s not even the large fact he knows the whole Chinese dictionary (most likely), but he knows how to bring out the accent as well as the language which makes him sound even more fluent.
accent is more important than people think

That’s why my mom needs to stop talking trash about people in Spanish in PUBLIC, plus Spanish is a common language to learn 😭
yeah...spanish is hella risky
I can understand it, but can’t speak it... yet!
im italian and never studied spanish but i garantee you that i could understand half of the words lol
Yeah my mom once said this lady has a weird outfit RIGHT NEXT TO HER and the lady looked into her eyes for a solid minute. I’m surprised we aren’t dead yet
We get some girls if we can speak in Spanish..
“You speak better than my daughter” “My daughter to lazy to learn” Yup that’s an asian mother!
Michael Macaluso how it be fr tho🥴
That’s kind of rude
You doctor yet?! Talk to me when you are doctor!
True tho, I'm too lazy to learn Vietnamese 🙃
Jojo Draws9508 I’m asian and this is what my mom does lmao it’s not new to Asian kids
I’m Brazilian, so I speak Portuguese but I’ve studied English since I was a teenager and I’m able to speak in both languages pretty well. I went to a restaurant with a friend and on the way we decided that we should pretend we were Americans. It was FUN AF because people went OFF on us talking s**t. Calling us many many ugly names because they could bet we didn’t speak Portuguese. I was having the time of my life. At the end of the dinner we said: “Can we have the bill e uma garrafinha de água pra viagem?” The waiter turned RED and said (in Portuguese): “You speak Portuguese? I’m so so sorry! We didn’t meant to offend anyone! I’m so sorry!” I was laughing so much. It was so fun. 😂
That sounds like fun! I’m learning Portuguese to travel to Brazil and speak it fluently one day
Hello sir please🙏 help😭 me
daora 🤟
Got them patrão
Kkkkkk meus deus do céu
Hey dude, 44 year old guy here from England. I wanna say your vids touch me right in the feels. I love the reactions you get. In this vid especially when she asked why you learn Chinese I wanted you to say because of the connection n excitement you receive. I genuinely think it's beautiful and I for one really appreciate it. I wish I could connect with people like you do. Makes me realise how excited and interested people are when we can genuinely connect. Respect x
“Daughter doesn’t know Chinese cause she’s lazy.” This embodied Chinese parents so well.
Nicholas The hell you mean you don’t speak Chinese. Dad, you’d have to teach me and I’m 5.
Quite true. It's not just Chinese living in America. Even in Singapore. Some Chinese kids don't wanna learn their own dialects.
Dawn Ho singaporean chinese here! personally i really want to learn dialects but my parents never taught me yikes
No it’s what happens when your parents are immigrants. And you go to an all English school so you learn English to help you talk n meet friends, and forget your language that our parents only know. I’m American Vietnamese and I wish my mom taught me Vietnamese instead of only learning English. My daughter is 2 years old and knows Vietnamese cause of my wife and her parents and English cause of me lol
Pheezy420 REEFER sane but my parents just spoke somali around me . They didn’t “teach me” it was just how u was brought up but they did teach me english as well after school
"You speak better than my daughter" Another fellow asian has fallen.
Well their privileged white people not so hard to believe when most can afford to go to China to learn
Her daughter probably is some NY girl who is embarrassed of her Chinese culture thus won't learn to speak it or use it.
@@lilgreen12 It's called a semester abroad or a year abroad. And things are very cheap in China.
@@lilgreen12 boeheim. The data is in. Asians in the west beat white folk on the privilege spectrum
@@dankmheems290 it's not really necessary to learn if you have no plans of living outside the states, or going into international business
I'm shocked but I actually choked up at the end; I'm so happy you gave her an opportunity to talk about what their hard-working lives are like. I like it when you're able to get past the (very fun!) novelty of them discovering the language and progressing to a real conversation of substance. In this world (and this country), where so many people are so xenophobic and flat-out racist, these videos are doing a great service to everybody.
I love these videos! My Spanish speaking, half-Mexican brother-in-law, who some mistakenly assume is a just an English-only speaking "gringo", used to run a business in an area with many Hispanic customers, and there were a few times that rude customers would gossip in Spanish, assuming he didn't understand, and he would "play dumb" until they approached the counter and were respectfully greeted in Spanish! You never know! Just because a person looks a certain way doesn't mean they don't understand what you're saying!
Her when she heard him speak Chinese: *Heh heh, I’m in danger*

Love your content, a bridge to other cultures. Seems like most people are similar in character, we all just want to make a living and enjoy life! Keep up the good work 🙌🏽
What you are doing, I hope, helps more people reach out to others who are different, and look for the amazing aspects of their culture, language and customs. That you bother to take time and effort to learn their language is a compliment that earns good will in interactions. I found the same thing having learned some Japanese to help me communicate better with my Senseis and their students.
Instead of telling her that you speak Chinese you should’ve been like, “I’m not that crazy”
That's not even what happened...
@@Sikayoujo whoooooshhh🙂
Still funny
That sounds like one of these famous old Jewish jokes. In the 1930s, a Jewish guy sees a middle-aged black gentleman reading a Yiddish newspaper on the subway. He works up the courage and approaches him to timidly ask:" Excuse me, Mister, are you maybe Jewish?" The black guy says: "Me? Do I look "meshigga" to you?"
@@Sikayoujo well no shit sherlock
As I’m Asian, the tone she used when talking about her daughter is where she is super mad and disappointed at her daughter for some random white guys to speak better Chinese. It’s the exact thing I’m told...

Man speaks Chinese for literally 15 seconds and gets called handsome.
I'm guessing it has to be the tone, the energy he puts in it. Also, i don't understand shit but it seems like he's struggling with some words and they can hear that, and they can understand that as someone trying their best so they like it
Just goes to show how little they see people making an effort to come their direction.

Such heartwarming dialog
Fun fact: people are nicer and treat you differently if you speak their language.
well it signifies that he/she spent a lot of effort to learn their language, meaning the people respected the speaker
@@leht1617 he was raised in Beijing. He even says it though his videos. His practice was being exposed more the very environment around him. It's not really practicing if the language that is spoken the most is the dominate language. Your reply would be more relevant if he was located/raised somewhere else. Like if he was raised where the majority of his family lived he'd probably only speak english like they do but if he went out of his way and learned Chinese, mandarin, fuzehouse, etc. Then that would be practice which would be respected. Nice try on going around my comment.
@@sethhardy866 you're reply was unnecessary hostile
@@leht1617 yeah it’s freaking hard learning languages. I really respect people that do.
@@leht1617 while thats true, i feel theirs multiple factors perfect example would be something like this, they know they can understand you and so its harder to talk shit or say something unless your willing to confront them directly about it. basically forcing people to act nicer then they likely would be. again their are likely MANY factors but i feel like your comment and this one are probably the two biggest players and will obviously vary from person to person. Some people just won't be impressed, others will be happy and amazed that you just tried, and others will be happy but not amazed, and everything in between and outside

I appreciate it is more about breaking barriers than just the wow factor. It was so touching and refreshing the conversations with the owner. I think people are just surpised because not many people in the USA speak more than one language through studying it.

First time seeing a video of y'all. Speaking so many languages is so awesome! I've lived in deep south TX(takes me about 20 min. to get to Mexico) for my whole 34 years, and know about...maybe 30 or 40 words in spanish. 13 of those are numbers! 🤣🤣 But my Dad knows spanish. He picked it up as a child. I remember a story of when he was a foreman at a construction sight, and how the guys "under" him would constantly talk sh*t in Spanish, because of course they assumed he didn't understand. He let that go on for months...them just sh*t talking him right in front of him! Then one day one of them asked him something, and he responded in Spanish. He said the looks on their faces was hilarious. Like..."oh sh*t!! What have I said about him, in FRONT of him, in the past?? 😥😥😥" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So he careful, because you never know. Lol

I decided a long time ago, if I ever had one wish (don't believe in magic/miracles just pretend), I would want to be able to understand, read, speak, write, translate any language I wanted with a phrase to activate it xD Meet a lot of people and could easily make a living as a traveling translator or staying home if I wanted. Translating old forgotten languages and new. I'd enjoy it.

Good to hear some bossa nova vibes, sort of a jazz ones! Greetings from South America, midwest Brazil.

So awesome you all speak mandarin and some other dialects. It expands your viewpoint. Some of the words mean so much more than what was translated in English. Like the Chinese word “li hai”.
That took a lot of respect and humility for him not to call her out.
Remember when you could go outside and actually sit down in a restaurant and eat and talk to people, yeah I miss those days
We all do.

In sweden we still do
No when was this?!? I can’t remember..
that was like a month ago, not some past ancient era
In the real translation she didn’t seem nearly as rude, she was commenting on how they were recording and questioning why.
Thanks :0 !
AGREE
Honestly 😂
If anything she seems uncomfortable being recorded....
a lot of his translation was wack, at 2:30 he says 很好吃 (delicious/tastes good) and captions it “this place is seriously dank” like bro thats not necessary
Hard work a concept difficult for some grasp. What a sweet video and I’ve always admired the Asian peoples work ethic.
I love this, this is so great. She insulted you in the beginning and you let it slide. I’m sure she regretted it and you and her had a great experience.

Misleading. She’s actually concerned as to why she’s being recorded and she thinks she’s done something wrong
Clickbait, Jason, clickbait.
Yes click bait, it's a thing remember.
TBH even if the translation is inaccurate I didn't think he was trying to make her look rude. It was clear she was referencing the weirdness of recording getting his nails done. I thought she was really sweet and I love how happy people in his videos are at hearing their languages being used by a foreigner so far from home :) They always light up!
So why wouldn't he have told them that they were recording for a video, that's usually what KZheadrs do lol or make it obvious it's for a KZhead vid. Isn't it illegal to film someone and show their identity without their permission? That's why people get their faces blurred in reality TV shows or some KZhead shows so they don't get sued. Idk, I'm confused with this video. But that's not to say this isn't far from Asian people do gossip about their customers in their own language (which is really rude by the way, to talk about them thinking they won't understand. And right in front of them too.)
Exactly...I don't understand why are people hating on her for that
