((RUSSIAN)) Yes, I can speak
((RUSSIAN)) You can also speak Russian
((RUSSIAN)) A little bit
((RUSSIAN)) I studied Russian for 5 years when I was at the university
((RUSSIAN)) Were you in Russia before?
((RUSSIAN)) Not yet?
((RUSSIAN)) OK
((RUSSIAN)) Difficult?
((RUSSIAN)) Do you think Arabic is difficult?
((RUSSIAN)) What does that mean?
((MANDARIN)) Hello
((MANDARIN)) Hello
((MANDARIN)) How are you today?
((MANDARIN)) How are you today?
((MANDARIN)) Are you drunk?
((MANDARIN)) Which part of China are you from?
((MANDARIN)) Right, but where at in China?
((MANDARIN)) I know
((MANDARIN)) Your pronunciation is very good
((MANDARIN)) Oh yea?
((MANDARIN)) You're being too nice
((MANDARIN)) Confucius said ''Three people walking one of them must be my teacher'' 'I can always be taught by someone'
((MANDARIN)) It's really....
((MANDARIN)) Oh yea
((MANDARIN)) How long have you been in America for?
((MANDARIN)) This is my 3rd year
((MANDARIN)) Oh, 3rd year?
((MANDARIN)) Right
((MANDARIN)) Two years...
((MANDARIN)) 3 Years ago...
((MANDARIN)) What's your impression of America?
((MANDARIN)) Generally speaking, yes
((MANDARIN)) It's hard to say
((MANDARIN)) It's OK
((MANDARIN)) It's not the same
((MANDARIN)) I feel that It's more open here
((MANDARIN)) Yes, you're right
((MANDARIN)) How do you say...We have an idiom for this which is...
((MANDARIN)) I don't know that idiom
((MANDARIN)) You could use Chinese to explain it to me
((MANDARIN)) That's very deep
((MANDARIN)) How long did you learn for?
((MANDARIN)) I don't study Chinese now, but when I first started I learned for about 3 years
((MANDARIN)) But after 6 months I was able to have conversations with Chinese people face to face
((MANDARIN)) You speak very well. Your pronunciation is so good
((MANDARIN)) My pronunciation?
((MANDARIN)) Right. Your pronunciation is very good
((MANDARIN)) Thank you
((MANDARIN)) Like for instance when foreigners speak Chinese they have a problem with the pronunciation due to the tones that we have in Chinese.
((MANDARIN)) But by practicing with Chinese people everyday you become accustomed to it
((MANDARIN)) My American name is Moses
((MANDARIN)) This is how Chinese people say it
((MANDARIN)) But my Chinese name is mouse
((MANDARIN)) Nickname
((MANDARIN)) It's a long story why my name is mouse though
((MANDARIN)) A long time ago I had a friend who came from Fujian
((MANDARIN)) At that time he introduced me to his parents and they wanted to know what my name was
((MANDARIN) So then I told them that my name is 'Moses' but they kept saying 'Moose'
((MANDARIN)) My friend then said ''Hey I have an idea. From here on out we're gonna call you mouse''
((MANDARIN)) At that time I didn't know
((MANDARIN)) At that time I didn't know because I didn't know how to speak Chinese at the time
((MANDARIN)) So I then asked him what laoshu meant
((MANDARIN)) He said 'mouse'
((MANDARIN)) Can we find another name?
((MANDARIN)) Usually that name mouse isn't a really good name
((MANDARIN)) I know, I know
((MANDARIN)) But for a nickname though...
((MANDARIN)) Well, for a nickname it isn't bad
((MANDARIN)) See when I was young my nickname was mouse ''Haozi''
((MANDARIN)) Haozi is the same as laoshu
((MANDARIN)) Right, the same
((MANDARIN)) Do you know how to speak any other languages besides Chinese?
((MANDARIN)) I was studying Spanish
((MANDARIN)) Unfortunately I don't have a use for it because I've mainly come here to focus on studying English
((MANDARIN)) You know China's exam
((MANDARIN)) I know
((MANDARIN)) It's very intense
((MANDARIN)) It focuses on our grammar ans speech
((MANDARIN)) I don't really have an opportunity to study it
((MANDARIN)) That's OK
((MANDARIN)) You still have a lot of time to study it
((MANDARIN)) I would like to learn Spanish then.....I know a little bit of French
((MANDARIN)) Say something for me
((FRENCH)) Hello
((MANDARIN)) I can just say some words
((MANDARIN)) That's fine
((MANDARIN)) Basically, I can't really speak. I can just say several words
((MANDARIN)) But you guys in China...
((MANDARIN)) Like uh..the dialects in China. For example in Beijing they have their own dialect.
((MANDARIN)) Right
((MANDARIN)) So, in your hometown do you have your own dialect as well?
((MANDARIN)) Yes. We have our own dialect
((MANDARIN)) Do you speak that as well?
((MANDARIN)) Of course
hahahahhaha
((MANDARIN)) Because see I'm from the south
((MANDARIN)) How should I say. You see in daily life we speak Mandarin, but we still have our very own dialect that we speak.
((MANDARIN)) The majority of people can speak Mandarin
((MANDARIN)) Those languages spoken in the south and the north are part of the same language family
((MANDARIN)) Like, people from Fujian and Guangzhou speak languages that are connected
((MANDARIN)) Hold on for a second, I will check the meaning of this word
((MANDARIN)) Their way of speaking
((MANDARIN)) It's a bit not the same
((MANDARIN)) The pronunciation of the people in the north is different. Certain words are enunciated very differently
((MANDARIN)) Taiwanese people are very similar to this
((MANDARIN)) For example, they would often say ''I want to eat''
((MANDARIN)) Nice to meet you
((MANDARIN)) I'm very glad to have met you
((MANDARIN)) Too cool
((MANDARIN)) Take care
((MANDARIN)) Are you Chinese?
((MANDARIN)) You speak Mandarin?
((MANDARIN)) I speak Mandarin
((MANDARIN)) I speak Mandarin and Cantonese
((MANDARIN)) Where are you from?

((MANDARIN)) Hong Kong
((MANDARIN)) Hong Kong? Why do you say that?
((MANDARIN)) Why did you say that?
