What about the cultural difference?

Say, moving from China and going to travel to a new country,

what was that like?

Honestly, from the first beginning, it was overwhelming.

The first time I was in the US,

I was in Louisiana, out of nowhere.

And I met people, they're the neighbors,

they asked me, hey, how are you doing?

I was like, huh?

Are you talking to me?

because in China we don't have small talk

so I never did small talk in my whole life I'm

like oh who are you talking to oh me I'm like

uh okay thank you I don't know what you say

and I feel awkward I feel overwhelmed

because at the time I'm still thinking okay maybe they will

think why this Chinese girl is right here what is she's doing

and she doesn't even speak English I will think maybe he's judging me

because I don't speak English he was saying I'm dumb from first beginning That's all in my mind.

But later I realized I started to speak more.

People actually, they like to get to know me.

And when I see they have the interest for me,

I will try to express myself more and stop thinking about,

OK, they're going to judge me because my English is not perfect.

And they're always being very supportive and always like inspire me.

Oh, you should talk more and your English is really good.

And then later I don't think about, OK, I'm dumb.

I speak bad English.

As long as I can express myself well,

I think it's all that matters.

Because the grammar is just the way to express yourself.

As long as people understand you,

no matter what you're speaking, that's the most important.

Yeah, for sure.

So for example, if I went up to someone in China and I started having small talk with them,

like hey how's the weather it's nice today isn't it then

what do you think the reaction of a Chinese person would be you mean

if it's you like a foreigner oh yeah yeah

and they will be like oh wow she's talking to me I mean it's definitely you look

so like up like different foreign yeah boring learn boring what about

if it was a Chinese person

if it's Chinese people people were saying uh why are you

talking to me like you don't have your own business business to do right now.

Yeah, but sometimes from some regions people are very talkative,

especially for the elderly, they like to talk a lot.

Maybe you met in the elevator,

they will ask you, oh,

where did you get this back?

You know, sometimes they do,

but usually people don't do small talk with you,

they don't talk with you.

Yeah.

Okay.

They're super busy yeah

so it's a big cultural difference then um you lived in

the united states how how long did you live in the

united states honestly i was traveling in the u.s at the

time i first time i was there for like five

and a half months i was traveling

and then the second time i went to visit for like three months

and the third time i actually worked there i was doing the working holiday

because at the time I really want to get an opportunity to work abroad,

to practice more my English and also get better paid.

So I worked there.

So in total probably like one year and a little bit more.

Okay.

And what was your first initial reaction moving from China to the United States?

I was very excited though I was very excited

because I still remember the first day like the plan I'm

like arriving in Baylor Rouge I was in Louisiana seriously out of nowhere

but I just feel like oh my god the air is

so fresh because there's no factory you know so

because the air is so fresh and also I feel like I don't I feel

so free because we do have a lot of restrictions back to China.

We're still very free, but for example,

I cannot use Google, I cannot use Instagram in China,

but here I can just use everything I wanted to use.

So I feel like you can say whatever you want to say and people will accept who you are.

So there was no big culture shock in a negative way?

I think negative way, yes.

I think sometimes people are too nice.

You know, because for Chinese, we're very direct.

If I like you, I will tell you I like you.

If I don't like you,

I'm just gonna be polite.

But I'm not gonna say it was so nice to meet you,

and I had such a great time with you,

I'm gonna see you again.

If I don't feel that way,

I will never say that in Chinese.

But I noticed that when I was in the US,

I thought we're friends, we had a great time together,

I said it was so nice to meet you,

we're gonna see each other again.

And then you realize, oh maybe for them they don't think the same.

By the other time they will be like,

oh I was so happy to meet you,

it's so nice to meet you and actually they don't mean it

100

but i understand

101

because people want to be positive all the time they want

102

to be nice they want to be always being not encouraging

103

but maybe they just think i'm boring at the time

104

because i don't speak that much english

105

and like why do they wanted to know me you know

106

but it's just sometimes i can't know if people really mean what they say Okay,

107

more in the United States.

108

way with you it's because they really don't like you

109

if they're just completely reactionless and with no enthusiasm at all then they're very you think

110

that they hate you they probably do

111

so for me that was a big maybe culture shock

112

when i visited china because they're very like oh you know

113

but it makes it more special when they do react and when they are enthusiastic because it's It's like,

114

oh, I guess you truly do like me.

115

Yeah, because I think when Chinese people say it's like,

116

you know, they're very welcoming,

117

they show their like your passion to you,

118

that means they're really like you.

119

Yeah, yeah.

120

Because usually Chinese people are very calm.

121

Like, we're very calm.

122

We like to observe that situation first.

123

Yeah, they're very observant.

124

We're not just like, you know,

125

bumping to you and say a lot of things.

126

We like to watch, observe,

127

and to say, okay, how's the situation right now?

128

and how should I react?

129

Yeah.

130

And we're more into like our own business,

131

like what I said, like we don't do small talk,

132

so we'll be like, okay,

133

you do your own business, I do mine.

134

Yeah.

135

Of course, we'll be very like curious about foreigners,

136

so a lot of people,

137

when you're in Shanghai, I think you definitely experienced people wanted to take picture for you,

138

wanted to, you know, talk with you,

139

some kids might come to you practice their English.

140

Yeah, yeah, in Asia a lot too in general.

141

And so what part of learning English do you think changed your life the most?

142

I think for me it's definitely learning English.

143

Let me find out what's my dream for.

144

For me right now, I'm doing my jewelry design and also collecting all the jewelries from all over the world.

145

Yes, so because I discovered when I was traveling,

146

when I was talking to people from all over the world,

147

because I love the cultural things.

148

I love the nature because I've been so many different places.

149

I was in Maldives, Costa Rica, Korea.

150

I've been so many different places because I could speak English.

151

I could communicate with people.

152

I was talking to so many people.

153

For me, talking to them is like you're objecting yourself.

154

You know, I was like observing myself.

155

What do I really like?

156

What's my passion for?

157

What I want to do in my life?

158

And after this two and a half years traveling,

159

solo traveling by myself, I discovered I like fashion.

160

Since I was young, I like fashion.

161

So why don't I just start something with fashion?

162

And because I noticed along the way, I'm always making necklaces.

163

I'm also, you know, collecting all the beautiful jewellery.

164

So that's why right now I started everything and I put a lot of meaning on it.

165

For example, some of my pieces,

166

like for example, this one,

167

like the diamond one, because when I was younger,

168

I liked the song from Rihanna, Shine Like a Diamond.

169

So that's why I made this one.

170

It's so beautiful.

171

Can you see it?

172

Yeah, yeah.

173

I just want to make a close-up while you talk about it.

174

Yeah, so I actually gave this one to my friend as a gift.

175

And at the time, I didn't know I'm going to make jewelry in the future.

176

And I told her, like,

177

you can shine like a diamond.

178

Because I feel like she's so beautiful.

179

She looks a little bit like Rihanna as well.

180

So I gave it to her and she told me,

181

why don't you just start something like you know with your fashion design with jewellery

182

or collecting like all the beautiful things from over the world i'm like yeah why not

183

so that's why right now i'm settling down in maxwell city

184

and i'm trying to build up like everything like for my jewellery

185

and also beautiful things i collect from over the world contain

186

all the cultural things for example for the Chinese things like Chinese design,

187

we have some you know dragons like clouds,

188

we believe in some energy and elements you know,

189

so I just wanted to let people to know different cultures and in in my way like from my perspective,

190

so I want to bring it back to them,

191

meaning bring the energy yeah and each one has a story behind it,

192

exactly a story of your traveling of your journey of your English language journey.

193

Exactly too like right now i have this flower actually i

194

To wrap up the video,

220

221

Now that you're at this level,

222

now that you can have a conversation naturally with me,

223

what's your next step?

224

For me right now, yeah,

225

I'm comfortable speaking English right now.

226

But I feel like there's still certain words,

227

you know, I cannot express myself perfectly.

228

I wanted to know how to become more native.

229

So I would definitely still do shadowing

230

when I'm you know watching like videos on youtube I do love shadowing

231

because it's really like a real reaction you learn from people right

232

and also I wanted to become more professional in my field like a fashion field

233

or because I don't know any vocabularies about like jewellery before

234

so right now I'm gonna you know like get into it to learn more things about my field Yeah,

235

I think this is mainly my English learning goals for right now.

236

And I feel like, you know,

237

learning a language is a lifelong journey.

238

You gotta keep learning, no matter how good you can speak.

239

Because there's always something out there you don't know,

240

and you want to know.

241

So for me, I would love to always keep learning.

242

Perfect, never stop learning, that's what I always say.
