Have you guys done a video where Northerners speak in a Southern accent?😂

I can't tell the difference besides the r sound. They sound exactly the same to me. They both sound Mandarin. 😅 Btw, does Northern Chinese accent considered funny? And next time tell Mandarin speakers to try speaking Cantonese, Shanghainese (Wu), Hakka, and Hokkien. And the other way around! And what do Chinese people think of stereotypical Asian accent in American cartoon shows like Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons, King of The Hill, etc?

Asian accents in most American TV series sounds weird to me.

Lol, I speak Chinese and there is quite a difference in the prononciation. But yeah I find it difficult to understand Northerners since I speak in a Southern accent. Yet at times it is quite amusing when hearing the different accents.

o o For me Cantonese sounds like a totally different language. (I only know Mandarin). I think it would be hard to find people who primarily speak Mandarin that also know Cantonese, since Mandarin is the official language, so there's no need to learn it.

Balala Millions of Mandarin speakers in China also speak fluent Cantonese. After all, Cantonese is originated in Southern mainland China. At the very least, anyone from Guangdong (a big Southern state in China, just next to Hongkong) can speak Cantonese as their first language (and of course they can also speak Mandarin). But that being said, most non-Cantonese people in China can’t speak Cantonese because, as you said, there’s really no need to learn it. I grew up in a city near Shanghai and I can only understand a little bit of Cantonese because I watched many Hongkong movies and drama (with subs) and picked up some pronunciation patterns.
If it sounds funny to them, what more if it's pronounced by foreigners who are learning Mandarin? I've been learning the language because I want to go to Taiwan but I've seen some of Kevin's videos comparing Taiwanese and Mainland way of speaking. Oh gosh, there's more to learn

Because they were trying to talk another different accent but failed 😂 they found them selves funny... (They still spoke southern accent with some ㄦ sounds) BTW no matter what accents do you speak we can understand, as long as you speak Chinese mandarin (not slang), but using correct tones would be important. Or just show the sentence that you don't know on Google Translator to us 👍

Thank you guys! It is such a relief to hear those messages from you. This is the very reason I started learning Mandarin because I want to visit Taiwan. Yes, I need to improve on how I correctly pronounce each word because it would be my means of communication. Another thing I learned that Tawian uses Traditional characters and I'm learning the simplified characters. Hopefully, I will still be able to read given this knowledge I acquired.
