I have been to Ladies Market in Hong Kong and I can speak cantonese. My family told me you can haggle in these night markets but I usually haggle for like 10-20 HKD off. But you were able to get more than 50% off. I am amazed. I'm learning a lot in more ways than one. Haha.

@MPAnderfeldt 3 жыл бұрын

I was also impressed. :-) I think it's because Eileen is not really interested. I'm horrible at bartering, just when I'm not interested and start to walk away, the shopkeeper suddenly lowers his offer again and again. This is the only time when I'm successful at bartering.

@cartoonhanks1708 2 жыл бұрын

The stupid thing is she's haggling for $15.00 USD, that's chump change especially for a cashmere scarf which you can get for a minimum of like $40 USD in the U.S. This is basically stealing from them at that point. It's almost unfair (assuming its real cashmere.)

@skyworm8006 2 жыл бұрын

@@cartoonhanks1708 It's still a fair amount of money in China and that's no excuse to get ripped off. China is the largest producer of cashmere so it will be cheaper and probably real. The price in the U.S is not a good indicator of anything. Also, you're meant to haggle. They set the price high because they expect you to haggle it lower or be a foreigner who doesn't understand the value of money. And she would not sell it at that price if she weren't profiting.

Thank you Eileen for adding subtitles to this fantastic video. Your videos are truly unique and watching you interact in daily life situations is extremely helpful because slowly but surely Chinese learners get an understanding of which words and expressions native speakers actually use in real life. This is probably one of the most difficult aspects of studying any language. Rather than remembering words, getting a feel for which words native speakers actually use in which situations tends to take much longer. Unless you live in the country whose language you are studying and interact with natives on a daily basis, this is not at all an easy thing to do and it's these kinds of videos which help you with this part of language learning.

*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone! *Access the playback speed controls as follows:* *Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the *lower right of the video's screen* and click on the *settings* icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time. *Smartphones:* open the video and go to the *upper right of the video's screen.* You will see *3 dots.* Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).

Your video is excellent for intermediary learners indeed. The text appears in due time and in the three relevant versions for learners. You are informative, modest, highlighting the " chinese spirit", your smile and enthusiasm wraps it all beautifully. I think it would benefit to be split in two parts . You don't always have nearly a whole hour in a day and frequency is important in learning a language. In any case, big thank for your efforts! 真谢! From Israel.

Bargaining in the night market is wonderful. To degree is fun for both sides of the transaction. Almost 10 minutes in 2003 over about 50 cents US for a multi tool pocket knife. Was a victim of bait and switch in the Stanley market for maybe 4 or 5 dollars US. Most of the time I paid a fair price. I used the same approach in NYC Chinatown on Mott Street for a knapsack (started at 18 paid 14). My friend (a gentleman born in Hong Kong who came to the USA when he was about 12 years old) who was with me was shocked at my approach. I said to him I must bargain with the shopkeeper or she would not respect me. Recently did the same in Flushing for about two or three dollars when I purchased a few accessories for my new cell phone. The young lady obtained her dad's approval for my price offer. She smiled quietly when I said to her if I did not bargain you would not respect me. Sometimes its the small things in living that makes life a lot of fun.
