thank you for explaining the scenes that we just watched

@@antzooma you’re welcome. It’s a good thing since I’m the only person on the internet who does that

One time, in college, we were doing a thing for a class and they specifically told us not to speak in English and just use our mother tongue because we were being recorded and the video was going to be shown to beginners. All of our classes were in English tho, because we were learning the language to become ESL teachers and we were in advanced classes already, so we were used to communicate mostly in English. When it was my turn to speak, I said everything I had to say in English without realizing what I was doing and when I finished, everyone was looking at me like I was from Mars. It took me a whole 30 seconds to realize what I had done. I freaking ruined the recording lol

Once i accompanied guest from US. We were talking in english until someone shouted racial slur to him. I profusely apologised to him in bahasa. In my panic state, I forgot to speak english.

I speak several languages fluently and usually you catch yourself way earlier. Often before you utter the 1st or 2nd word of the wrong language. But it does happen frequently, if you use different languages with different friends.

Thanks for your comment. I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how good/bad his accent was.

Interesting - I was wondering since I don't speak Korean at all what actual Koreans thought about it - I've learned Chinese for years and I can tell that a lot of hollywood movies where the actors "speak Chinese" it's really horrible and sometimes (like in the show 'Firefly') you can barely if at all understand a single thing they are trying to say it's that bad - I wonder though, is it the same with Korean where Korean speakers will compliment a foreigner's Korean skills even if you are being totally honest they're not very good compared to a native speaker? Because with Chinese it is like that - take Mark Zuckerberg. There's a video of him "speaking fluent Chinese" on youtube and his Chinese is really, really bad - but native speakers always compliment it just because at least he's trying to learn it and speak it - I feel like Chinese speakers are way too nice about it and need to be more honest with it. My wife is at least more honest (she is Chinese) but even she is nicer about it than I would be if someone were claiming to speak my language (Estonian) "fluently" when it was very poor in reality!

like one ever was! **dun dun dun dun** to learn korean is his test! to speak it is his cause!

+sjkewlest i'm laughing so hard at this..i totally agree, i thought at first he was speaking japanese wahahahah XD

Korean pronunciation of foreigners is difficult. so it seems that Hard pronunciation will come out.

it sounded vietnamese when those two are put together Holy shit (dieing of laughter)

dying* rofl

desolationrow they don't sound similar at all to me, but everyone I know asks me if I'm listening to something in Chinese when it's always in Japanese. I guess that a lot of people just say "Chinese" when they hear something Asian, I don't understand how you'd mix up Mandarin with Japanese though, they don't sound alike in any way.

Exactly. I'm half Korean and have known the language for forever and I still can't pronounce all the words correctly 😂

@@raesmith2164 full blooded koreans themselves have said that they have trouble pronouncing certain words sometimes so it's all fine

육빅스 as a non Korean speaker, what does his accent sound like in Korean?

The PaperCut Survivor Sounds bit awkward in pronunciation but his intonation sounds pretty natural. He must have put a lot of effort on practicing those lines. Especially when he said “let’s get on the same team here”, i almost thought he is Korean!

When the teacher told him you did well at 0:13 he didn't understand. But he spoke full sentences to the lady.

The camera is not always on his face, there may be cuts. Not to blame his performance though

That's kind of the point of the movie (it's called Yes Man btw) Jim attends a semi-cultlike conference with a guy urging everyone to always say Yes to everything, which ends up improving Jim's life.

Right. He could’ve admonished her for poor customer service, but he didn’t. He wanted to know what was wrong with her.

@@themi0598 Thought it was because a wish his son made, after Jim's character breaking a promise to him again.

@@barthoving2053 No, thats Liar Liar which has a completely different premise (Jim is a lawyer who normally is a compulsive liar but for one very important day can't lie at all due to his son's wish)

@@themi0598 Yes. You're right. I stand corrected.

In Hollywood there are dialog coaches that help actors speak foreign lines. Usually it's only 1 or 2 sentences but Carrey speaks a lot of lines here. They're all memorized. Anyway the dialog coach may have been a Japanese who spoke Korean as a second language. The movie business is very sloppy in this regard. I speak Russian and French and I have never understood American actors speaking those languages in movies (unless they use native speakers)

+olgasM3 Have you seen Captain America 2? There was the scene at the beginning where Captain America speaks with a French guy. I laughed so hard when I heard that the accent was definitely from Quebec. I'm from Quebec, but they tried to sell a villain from France as a Quebecker. Actually, the whole cinema erupted in laughter. :)

+iKoreaan yeah i was wondering why it sounded weird xD

Yeaaa I speak Korean, but I cannot understand him. Having just visited Japan I really feel like he's confused the sounds of Korean with Japanese. haha.

당연하지. But you can still give him credit for trying. :)

I'm not Korean, I'm from Argentina but I agree with you. It's a soothing voice that he uses to talk Korean and that must took a lot of effort to learn the language at least for that movie.

When the title says "Korean" there will obviously be koreans in the comment section. Use your head.

I’m of Korean decent. The brutally honest answer is that Koreans are *institutionally* racist. Just look up what our pledge of allegiance was until 2007. Only the younger Koreans have a welcoming attitude of people trying to learn our language and culture, no matter their skill level.

yo this is recommended more to Koreans so korean ratio in the comment section is way higher than normal dood you gotta widen your mind before you go full deep on sarcastic mode "everyone is korean" lol when a nitwit thinks hes edgy, your comment happens lol

Strange how in all languages except english you're expected to put on an accent.

@@halfrightface Ive been all over the world, and Koreans are the most anal retentive people regarding the correct pronunciation of their language. If it's not perfect, they will look at you like you have a dick growing out of your forehead.

It's hard enough to learn a language with drastically different intonations and grammar from the one you're used to. Anybody who shames a person for being brave enough to go outside of their comfort zone like that is the person who should feel ashamed. XF

Probably it was a single guy who criticism his accent and then boom, a thousand people feel like "everyone" was criticism the accent.

@@jasonrodriguez2963 now I'm going to criticize you for criticizing the guy criticizing the other guys criticizing the accent.

@@Joshua_Cartus I dont

I think it's just jarring to hear such advanced syntax in a beginner's accent. Generally, if you get far enough to converse like that, you also learn along the way how to shape your mouth to form the words more naturally. It really doesn't feel like a failure on his part, but on the part of the language coach and the creative team. There didn't have to be a disconnect there, but there was, and that's why we're all here talking about it. I really enjoyed this movie and this scene, but I think there was some untapped potential for an even smoother portrayal there.

@@adeliakaye8378 To be fair, there are plenty of advanced learners of any language who still speak with a thick accent.

yeah !

Yah, it's sound like he talking in Japanese. If I wouldn't know he speak Korean I would think he's speaking in Japanese.

That's probably because he learned Japanese first.

+TornadoCreator Maybe, or he talking like this in purpose to pretend he is funny.

That’s odd, because I lived in Japan for 5-years and I don’t hear a true Japanese accent at all. In fact, if I heard this over the telephone I would just think that some White guy was trying to speak to me in Korean.

Can't totally agree since I've met many foreigners ( Asians / Central Americans / Europeans ) whose English was poor. But, to your point, when foreigners do speak properly or at least as well as native born Americans / British / Aussies, etc., then THAT can be pretty embarrassing! LoL. ( Seriously, at least in America, there can be a lazy acceptance of grammatical mistakes and excessive informal speech. When someone on a social platform like KZfaq truly constructs articulate sentences in conveying their thoughts I almost cannot believe it. )

Can you please explain for those (like me) who have no idea what this means? 😅

How come that you're fluent in German of all languages?

@@DaPohli I live in Germany. Before I moved here permanently 3 years ago, I spend a few years living back and foward between Aus and Germany. It was then I mostly bumped in to backpackers through friends and at bars. None of them had any interest speaking German. I once asked an Austrian girl, who a friend was dating at the time (who surprisingly loved speaking German with me), why people seemed to allergic to speaking German. She said backpackers, especially from Europe, are trying to spend a few years escaping their culture before they return to it for good. Hearing their mother tounge spoken to them kills the illusion of escapism and reminds them that their real lives are still waiting for them back in Germany, or wherever they come from. Seemed to be to be as good an answer as any.
