Is Beijing a business city? Shanghai
((Mandarin)) So you speak Chinese?
((Mandarin)) Wow, you speak so well
((Mandarin)) You're too nice
((Mandarin)) Wow, you're so cool
((Mandarin)) **Idiom** I totally had no idea that you would be able to speak Chinese.
How did you learn Chinese?
((Mandarin)) You can speak with me in Chinese
((Mandarin)) Oh really? How did you learn to speak so well?
((Mandarin)) Because when I started learning Chinese a long time ago, I practiced with a lot of Chinese people, so...
((Mandarin)) I can speak a little bit
((Mandarin)) Have you ever been to China?
((Mandarin)) No
((Mandarin)) No?
((Mandarin)) No, but I have many plans to go there in the future.
((Mandarin)) I mean, I have plans to go to either Mainland China or Taiwan.
((Mandarin)) You should go to China and have some fun. Go to Beijing.
((Mandarin)) Of course.
((Mandarin)) The Great Wall
((Mandarin)) Oh, the great wall! Right..
I'm just came back from last year from the Great Wall
((Mandarin)) Oh really?
((Mandarin)) It's so long. So many people there.
((Mandarin)) Then there's the Forbidden City-palace museum ''Gugong''
((Mandarin)) Go to Shanghai and have fun. Your Chinese is so good that,you won't have any problems.
((Mandarin)) Hopefully, I'll have a chance to go there.
((Mandarin)) So, you've worked here at this restaurant for a long time already?
((Mandarin)) I've been here for two years.
((Mandarin)) But I will go back to China next year.
See my mom and sister.
((Mandarin)) They've never been here before?
My sister cannot come here. The immigration is very hard
My mom doesn't likes it here.She's been here twice
((Mandarin)) She's just not accustomed to this environment
((Mandarin)) No friends, she can't speak English and can't go to the store by
herself.
((Mandarin)) Would be hard to communicate for her
((Mandarin)) Yea, it's not easy for her so..
((Mandarin)) You need to go to China and teach.
((Mandarin)) Is he Chinese, too?
((Mandarin)) He's Cantonese.
((Cantonese)) Do you speak Cantonese?
((Cantonese)) I want to speak Cantonese with you.
((Cantonese)) You speak Cantonese?
((Cantonese)) Wow, your pronunciation is on point!
((Cantonese)) In fact, I think Cantonese is better so, lately
((Cantonese)) I've been trying to learn it
((Cantonese)) He speaks both Cantonese and Mandarin well.
((Cantonese)) You speak Cantonese, too?
((Cantonese)) I can understand, but not speak much
((Mandarin)) You should come here more often to have fun
((Cantonese)) I want to go to Hong Kong and other places, for example,Guangzhou etc..
((Mandarin)) He's from Guangzhou
((Mandarin)) Guangzhou city is ???
((Mandarin)) Studying languages is a...how do you say?
((Mandarin)) You have a language talent
((Mandarin)) Studying languages is just a hobby for me
((Mandarin)) You're the first American I've met with an accurate pronunciation
((Mandarin)) But in my opinion, I still have problems with tones,especially when I speak Mandarin
((Mandarin)) However, I think my Cantonese' pronunciation is better
((Mandarin)) But my Mandarin is a bit more fluent.
((Cantonese)) It's because I know alot more vocabulary..
((Mandarin)) More vocabulary in Mandarin
((Mandarin)) Do you know how to write?
((Mandarin)) Yes, I do.
((Mandarin)) Do you have a Chinese name?
((Mandarin)) Yes
((Mandarin)) What's your name?
((Cantonese)) Rat!
((Cantonese)) This is Cantonese
((Mandarin)) I want to see how you write in Chinese
((Mandarin)) Write your Chinese name for me.
((Mandarin)) Oh, you're left handed.
((Mandarin)) MOUSE!!??!! Why did you choose this name?
((Mandarin)) It's a long story!
((Mandarin))This is interesting.
((Mandarin)) I had a friend a long time ago from Mainland China,
who introduced his whole family to me.
((Mandarin)) At that time, his family wanted to know what my American name
was
((Mandarin)) After I told them my name, they tried to pronounce it, but had
many problems..
((Mandarin)) It's because my American name is Moses.
Oh, that's why!
((Mandarin)) It sounds like Mouse
((Mandarin)) Yea, I also think so.
((Mandarin)) When many people choose a Chinese name, it's chosen by the American
pronunciation.
((Mandarin)) I'llshow you my American name.
((Mandarin)) This character is hard to write!!So many strokes
((Mandarin)) Left-handed people are smart
((Mandarin)) It's hard writing characters with the left hand
((Mandarin)) What does that mean? It's your name?
((Mandarin)) Right
((Mandarin)) You must've heard this name before because it's in the bible.
((Mandarin)) In the bible?
((Mandarin)) Right.
((Mandarin)) Yes, I'veheard it before.
((Mandarin)) So your name is from the bible?
((Mandarin)) Right
((Mandarin)) So you're Christian?
((Mandarin)) Oh, you're not Christian, you're buddhist!
((Mandarin)) No, I'm not..
((Mandarin)) So you believe in buddhism?
((Mandarin)) Actually, I don't have any religion.
((Mandarin)) You won't have any problems if you go to China, really.
((Mandarin)) I hope so.
((Mandarin)) Is she Chinese, too?
((Mandarin)) You should come here more often. Do you live far from here?
((Mandarin)) My first time here..
((Mandarin)) Do you know Easton Mall? I live in that area
((Mandarin)) You work over there?
((Mandarin)) Well, I live there, but as far as work, I work independently.
I'm a language teacher.
((Mandarin)) Oh,then no wonder you speak Chinese so well.
((Mandarin)) Well,all kinds of languages...Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Vietnamese, etc...
((Mandarin)) That's extreme!
((Mandarin)) Japanese, Korean...his Cantonese is excellent.
((Mandarin)) If I closed my eyes, I would've thought you were from Hong Kong!
Laughs
I'm serious!
((Mandarin)) Why do you say that?
((Mandarin)) He's smart and talented.
((Mandarin)) Perhaps, you're being too nice.
((Mandarin)) You know, Confucious once said that there are three people walking,
and one of them must be my teacher.
((Mandarin)) You're fun.
((Mandarin)) So, you're teaching online or?
((Mandarin)) Right, you know skype?
((Mandarin)) Shoot, I forgot how to say...program?
((Mandarin)) Program? You cansay any of these words
((Mandarin))Go to China. Especially to Shanghai to teach English.
((Mandarin)) Many kids there want to learn English. You speak Chinese well, so..
((Mandarin)) I'm serious.
((Mandarin)) For sure..
((Mandarin)) You can check more about this on the internet.
((Mandarin)) We'll see, but for now I already have so much work so..
((Mandarin)) Too busy?
((Mandarin)) That's good. You're free.
((Mandarin)) Don't work for others, work for yourself.
((Mandarin)) Right, this is the best thing
((Mandarin)) You feel proud of yourself
((Mandarin)) Come more often
((Mandarin)) OK!
((Mandarin)) You teach me English then I teach you Chinese
((Mandarin)) But you already speak English well
((Mandarin)) Oh, than you very much. Why did you say that?
((Mandarin)) OK then..
((Cantonese)) I'm going to leave. Thank you.
((Mandarin)) Come again
Bye bye
Man this was sloppy!!
Ok, I'm going to this Indian restaurant
Level up
I'm about to level up right there with that dude
Are they open?
I'm not sure how to go in
I remembering seeing this place before
I rode past it a few times
Hi
How are you?
Not too bad
((On The Phone))
You have a menu?
Your going to place an order?
Yea
Have a seat
Hey, how are you doing?
How are you?
You eat here often?
No, this is my first time.
Oh, this is your first time, too?
Yea, this is my first time, too
Actually, I came three days ago, but they were closed
Oh
Today I'm off so I just came by
Oh, I see
((On the phone))
Have you eaten Indian food before?
Yes, I love Indian food
I tried Samosas last month since someone recommended it
Is that like the triangle?
No. It's like a dumpling and it has vegetables inside of it
You ever have a dumpling before?
Yep
That's what it's like. It has like vegetables and some meat in it
Actually, Somali makes one of the best Samosa
Oh
Yea, like the triangle shape and it has a lot of vegetables and meat, fish
Oh, OK
So,you're Somali?
Yea
((Somali)) How are you?
((Somali)) How are things?
((Somali)) Good
What's your name?
((Somali)) My name is Moses
((Somali)) Nice to meet you
(Somali)) Nice to meet you
Wow, you can speak Somali
Just a little bit. I know some words here and there
You have friends of Somali?
((Somali))No, but..what is it...
I have some books and it has the audio with it.Because
that's what I do
((Somali)) It's a good thing to study languages
Definitely, learning languages is good
I myself speak you like five different languages
Oh, you do?
Yea
Before I came here, I used to live in Denmark for 16 years
And I learned Danish, Swedish and Norwegian
Oh my god, really?
But they're very close to each other
Oh, that's too bad. I haven't studied those yet Danish is very difficult. Especially the pronunciation
Can you say something to me in Norwegian?
Tell me, that you're in the restaurant now and you're about
to eat something.
((Norwegian))That means I sitting here waiting in getting
something to eat
Oh, wow
I want to learn more. I only know basic stuff.
Americans are better off learning Spanish
I can speak Spanish, too
Nice
When you want to learn a language, it's all about the exposure
So, like here in Columbus, there's a high population of Somalis
Almost like 40,000-50,000, I'm not sure exactly
A very useful language
You get to practice alot and you'll pick the language up quickly
Every language you need to practice
Right
Go to the right place and speak to the people
((Arabic)) That's right
I very amazed that you can pronounce ''Xa''
We write the letter ''X''
Alot of Americans can't pronounce that. It's very difficult for them
Yea, letters like ''Q'', ''KH'' in the Arabic language
You speak Arabic also?
((Arabic))Well, I study Arabic, too. Because....
((Somali)) Because...languages are good to learn
((Arabic)) I think languages are beautiful
Oh, ok
Not that's the real Arabic
Modern standard Arabic?
Yea, the modern standard
I've been to Egpyt many times and they prnounced things differently
((Egyptian Arabic)) Very beautiful
In Modern Standard they say ((Hilw Jameel)). It's different
((Somali)) Yea
I love languages,man. It's so fun.
Yea, it's fun. You play with it, and can learn a lot of cultures
once you learn the language, you can easily learn about that culture
Right
Actually you know what, I have so stuff here on my phone that I can show you
Aww, it's not on here, I have some Soamali audio, but I don't have it on my
phone at this time
Where do you download the Somali audio from?
I have a course called ''Colloquial Somali'' and it comes
with audio
What would you recommend?
Samosa is an appetizer
It's not a food it's an appetizer
Samoli makes Samosas, too
Oh, you're from Somalia,too?
Yea
I don't want to eat too much that's the thing
((reading menu))
Okay I going to get Somosa. You get two pieces, right?
One order is two pieces

really
Here?
Yes, this place and another Indian place
Oh, you mean the Taj Mahal over there?
Yea, so I had to choose either this place or the Taj Mahal
Actually I choose here because it says kitchen.
I figured it would be for a family with good food.
I love Indian food, I love it! I love Ethiopian food as well
I love spicy food
Spicy food is good, yea
