all those youtube language specialists say she has a chinese accent but i cant hear jack

[Cruor]

Definitely an accent.

[bakafish]

She does though not much, but it's pretty obvious English isn't her strongest language out of the three. Actually, even her Mandarin is slightly affected by her Cantonese.

Cruor!? o.O, should u be at sra?

i found whats wrong w/ my autopot, i didn't ran it w/ admin rights, vista didn't allow it to pot

by accent, you guys don't mean her non-smoothness do you? cause that can be eliminated by practice

[Grimm-.-]

I hear a few mispronounced words... But no one is perfect

[Advancechao]

She does have an accent, but you can only tell from a few places.
0:32 She says "We would like to welcome you" and she slurs "would," leaving out the D like a lot of Cantonese relatives I know
0:39 "God bless you all," it sounds like "God bless you au"
0:42 "Those who have faithfully come to our midst," she leaves out the D in "midst"
And just a few other grammar things like "from the overseas" and "even though you might not c-came here the first time"

But these are pretty small mistakes since she speaks all three pretty well! Her Cantonese is great.

@Anh_Hung_Rom_1l, from the statement under the video

all those youtube language specialists say she has a chinese accent but i cant hear jack

, it clearly indicated my take on the story, which she is accent-free.

In the name of jesus

that you are off topic?

[[SD]happynoobing]

yea now that i listened to it (i was at work earlier), she does have a cantonese accent when speaking both mandarin and english.

Hi user, (what a general name btw)

1. Happynoobing was correct about my intention. I was referring to "the other white people".
2. My comment was not to demean, to oneUp anyone. Just sort of a dark humor if you're into that kinda thing.
3. I couldn't careless if you're asian whateverr.
4. I agree, Asians can be anything. Like Michael Jackson. LOL

have a good day guys,
Rom.

[Du De Wei]
