Growing up Asian, I've heard some dumb stuff like, "Hey, are you Japanese perhaps?" Yeah. Why? Oh, namaste" "bruh." And also the classic, all Asians look the same, which no, that's ridiculous. Are you telling me that if I could cut my hair short, learn martial arts, hya, and claim that I'm Jackie Chan in the bank to request $3 million from his bank account... "Hey, I'm Jackie Chen. $3 million, please." Nobody would even be able to tell the difference??
2
Mr. Jackie Chen, hi. Wow, I didn't realize you were so short in real life.
3
Can I get an autograph?" I've heard this phrase so much growing up just because I'm half Asian. So imagine someone who is fully Asian, the pure breed, like my dad. He gets compared to his older brother so much even though my uncle is 20 years older than him, which is ridiculous. They look nothing alike. My uncle has wrinkles and wears glasses and my dad doesn't have wrinkles and wears glasses. They look nothing alike. Right, Dad? Dad? Uh hm. Did you get a new haircut? Anyways, Asian stereotypes. I sounded a little too excited. It It's a bad thing. So, Asian stereotypes. By the way, these stories that I'm about to tell you are all true, no matter how stupid they sound. Well, I guess some people are just ignorant. Anyways, enjoy. I love sushi. Hey. Uh, you used to live in Japan, right? Yeah. Oh I love sushi. I'm so so jealous. You could eat sushi every day.
4
Sushi every day. Sushi every day. Sushi every day. Oh yeah. I ate sushi and only sushi every single day while living in Japan because Japanese people have invented no other cuisine. Damn it, you're so lucky. No, I'm just kidding. I actually hate sushi. Taste it once and never again.
5
What the do you mean you hate sushi? You're Japanese. Actually, I'm only half Japanese. What did you used to eat then? Ramen.
6
...dogs . Studying Japan at school. So, this one was actually kind of funny. Whenever Japan was mentioned in like, I don't know, history class, people's eyes would instantly start to stare at me, including the teachers. As if my ancestors, actually, I shouldn't even say ancestors. I don't know these people. Those are random Japanese people I don't know about. As if it was my own family who did those historic things. Okay class. So today we're going to learn how Japan committed war crimes, mass genocide, enslavered many innocent people and left forever lasting scars that will never recover on territories they invaded during and before World War II, right, Jyuna? Uh me? Uh yeah, that that was horrible. Okay, class. Now open chapter 1. So, Japan first formally annexed Korea to its territory in 1910 and it lasted until the end of World War II in 1945. When they lost the war alongside the rest of the axis, including Germany and facist Italy, Korea under Japanese was marked by- Why are you looking at me? I got nothing to do with that.
7
Where are you from? So, as some of you may know, I'm half Japanese and half Brazilian. And while I've been in Brazil, people have asked me like, "Where are you from?" Even though my passport is Brazilian, like, "Hey, where are you from?" Huh? Where are you from? I am Brazilian. No, no, no, no. Where are you really from? I was born here in Brazil, man. What's your ethnicity? Oh, well, I'm half Japanese and half Brazil. Oh my gosh, you're Japanese. KONNICHIWA Namaste. Is that how you say it?
8
Dude, that's not how you You know what? Never mind. Namaste to you, too. I had a teacher who'd always greet me like that. I'm absolutely sure he had good intentions and was just oblivious. So, I though it was a bit cringy, I never bothered to correct him. I thought that maybe it was a bonding moment for him. So, I thought like, eh, whatever. Oh, good morning, Miss Jyuna. Namaste.
9
And then he would make this praying motion. Oh my gosh. My response would just be like, namaste to you, too, Mr. Mendes.
10
That That's not Hey, you can speak Japanese, right? Here we go again. Yeah. Why? I So, uh, I got this letter in Japanese. Could you translate it for me? Okay, I can try.
11
This is Chinese. Well, then can't you read it? It's basically the same thing, you know, just a bunch of sticks. No, I speak Japanese, which is a totally different language from Chinese, in case you didn't know. Huh. Really? Well, it all just looked the same to me. Uh, I can see why you'd think that, but to be fair, Japanese ideoggrams did come from China, which is why some of them are identical. But still, I cannot read Chinese. It's another language. Oh, okay. I I understand. I guess I'll never be able to read the letter my girlfriend left me before disappearing.
12
Just use Google Translate. Oh, you're right. You're Asian. You must like Hey. Are you Asian?
13
Yeah. Oh, I see. You must like anime then. Uh, yeah, I do. Oh, really? What is your favorite anime? Oh, it's one called I Like anime, but Not because I'm Asian. H, I've never heard of that one before. Strange title. Mr. Chan, here's your $3 million you have requested. Mr. Chan, so just a disclaimer because some people in my last video of being the Asian kid thought that I had suffered bullying. And yeah, although most of these interactions were a little inconvenient and annoying sometimes, but I mean, they were nowhere near bullying. I swear it didn't traumatize me or anything. So, I don't want anyone taking what I've said in that video and in this video seriously. Like, yeah, it's a little annoying, but that's about it. It happens. And looking back, I think it's even pretty stupid and funny. So, just don't take it seriously. And that's it for today. And so I have finished my next video by the time I'm uploading this one because I used to get very anxious whenever I would just rush a video to then upload it right after I was done editing. So right now I have a couple ready so that I don't feel that anxiety anymore and that now I can work more peacefully. I want to say thank you to all my patronons and thank you for watching. I appreciate it very much. Thank you. Bye.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
