The Chinese Competition | La Ĉina Konkurso!

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Hello, everyone!
  • 0:01 - 0:04
    I'm Evildea, your god.
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    And you probably can hear that my voice
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    is terrible now, because recently I was
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    really ill, and at the same time
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    I had to prepare myself for this
  • 0:14 - 0:15
    Chinese competition, which will
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    take place today.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    So hopefully I won't lose my voice.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    And now I want...
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    ...now I want to show you my
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    Chinese T-shirt, which I actually bought
  • 0:25 - 0:31
    when I was in China. Luckily, I can still
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    wear it as I haven't got too fat.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    So, do I look... tasty?
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    Sexy?
  • 0:40 - 0:41
    Chinesexy?
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    So, I've just arrived at the town centre
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    and I'm totally stressed out about
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    the competition.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    So, I'm now at the place where the
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    competition will take place,
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    and we have to wait for the others
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    to open the doors, and I don't want
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    to wait for them.
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    In fact, I don't want to be here!
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    So, I'm now at the event, and it seems
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    that everyone else can speak much better
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    than me.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    So, I just did a Chinese test
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    and I totally don't understand anything
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    that she just told me.
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    So it'll be interesting.
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    I just found out that that guy -
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    where is he? - there, is a YouTuber,
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    but he teaches Chinese on YouTube,
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    and it's interesting to find other
  • 1:30 - 1:31
    YouTubers here.
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    It's completely crazy here. No one knows
  • 1:35 - 1:36
    what we're doing.
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    Hello!
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    Shit, my mind is now thinking in Chinese
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    so I can't speak Esperanto that well.
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Welcome to the Chinese
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    2016 Chinese Proficiency Competition
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    for the foreigners across the globe.
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    [Chinese] Hello everyone!
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    I'm a bit ill.
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    I can't speak very well.
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    My name's Richard.
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    I call myself Tall-rich-man
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    But my wife calls me Homeless-poor-man
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    You can call me, God
  • 2:19 - 2:19
    God is good ...
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    I will now use Chinese to present myself
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    If I make a mess of it
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    Or call your mum a horse
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    Please forgive me
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    Because I only discovered this competition
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    a week ago.
  • 2:35 - 2:40
    I was born in a small town in Queensland
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    My father is a New Zealander.
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    My mother came from Germany.
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    I have liked studying languages since I was young
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    I was in the army for six years
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    while I was there I learned to speak Esperanto
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    I now need to study Chinese
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    because my in-laws don't speak English.
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    I don't have much time
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    I can't study a lot.
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    because I need to work a lot.
  • 3:15 - 3:18
    My wife loves money.
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    I really do love Chinese culture
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    except for Chicken feet
  • 3:30 - 3:31
    that food tastes bad
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    I can't eat that food.
  • 3:35 - 3:36
    Very bad tasting.
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    I don't know what I need to say now
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    Thank you all.
  • 3:49 - 3:50
    I'm Richard.
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    Who are you?
  • 3:52 - 3:52
    I'm Richard!
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    But... I'm Richard!
  • 3:54 - 3:58
    I'm also Richard, silly little man
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    Sorry, I don't understand
  • 4:00 - 4:01
    Silence!
  • 4:01 - 4:05
    I'm the smarter version of you from the future.
  • 4:05 - 4:08
    Sorry, I have a question
  • 4:08 - 4:09
    Ask
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    Why can't I see you?
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    Why can't you see me?
  • 4:14 - 4:16
    Yes, why can't I see you?
  • 4:17 - 4:21
    I'm from the future, silly little man
  • 4:21 - 4:26
    Only my voice can travel through time and space
  • 4:26 - 4:30
    I understand, but why are you here
  • 4:30 - 4:34
    Because your idea for the competition
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    really sucks ...
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    You're a little late
  • 4:39 - 4:40
    What?
  • 4:40 - 4:43
    The competition has already started
  • 4:44 - 4:45
    Really?
  • 4:45 - 4:46
    Yes!
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    Oh shit, quick do something funny
  • 4:49 - 4:50
    Like what?
  • 4:51 - 4:54
    I don't know. Just wave and smile ...
  • 4:58 - 4:59
    Now what?
  • 4:59 - 5:01
    Come here. I have an idea.
  • 5:05 - 5:07
    Are you sure?
  • 5:08 - 5:09
    Just do it.
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    Really ...
  • 5:11 - 5:14
    I have a small donkey
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    Which I never ride ...
  • 5:16 - 5:17
    They're not buying it.
  • 5:17 - 5:19
    Do a dance.
  • 5:19 - 5:20
    I can't dance.
  • 5:21 - 5:22
    Dance!
  • 5:23 - 5:25
    I have a small donkey,
  • 5:25 - 5:27
    Which I never ride.
  • 5:27 - 5:31
    One day I feel like riding it,
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    You totally screwed it.
  • 5:35 - 5:36
    You need to do better.
  • 5:36 - 5:37
    I'm listening.
  • 5:37 - 5:40
    This is going to seem dramatic
  • 5:40 - 5:43
    but trust me it will work.
  • 5:43 - 5:44
    What?
  • 5:44 - 5:46
    You're going to have to strip ...
  • 5:46 - 5:47
    What?
  • 5:47 - 5:48
    Yeah baby, take it all off.
  • 5:48 - 5:50
    How will that work?
  • 5:51 - 5:57
    When they see your super model body, you'll automatically win.
  • 5:57 - 5:59
    So, the competition has already finished,
  • 5:59 - 6:02
    ah shit, maybe you can hear that I have
  • 6:02 - 6:04
    a cold, because I can't speak that well,
  • 6:04 - 6:07
    but I didn't beat the others, the others
  • 6:07 - 6:10
    actually studied Chinese at university and
  • 6:10 - 6:12
    other places around the world while I
  • 6:12 - 6:14
    just studied at home with my wife.
  • 6:15 - 6:17
    I'm now with my new friend, of course
  • 6:17 - 6:20
    he doesn't speak Esperanto but he does
  • 6:20 - 6:24
    speak Chinese, and now I want to show
  • 6:24 - 6:25
    him to you because he has a Chinese
  • 6:25 - 6:26
    YouTube channel.
  • 6:26 - 6:28
    My YouTube channel is called
  • 6:28 - 6:29
    Shawn's Mando Chinese.
  • 6:29 - 6:32
    It's especially for teaching foreigners Mandarin Chinese
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    So, go to that channel and subscribe to it!
  • 6:36 - 6:38
    So now I'm leaving with my wife to
  • 6:38 - 6:40
    eat together, and ...
  • 6:42 - 6:43
    I don't know what I'll do after that.
  • 6:43 - 6:45
    Maybe I'll go to the cinema
  • 6:45 - 6:46
    but I can't speak that much
  • 6:46 - 6:49
    because I have a cold.
  • 6:49 - 6:50
    So yes, okay.
  • 6:51 - 6:53
    And now we're on the way to
  • 6:53 - 6:57
    a Chinese restaurant, - to eat, of course!
  • 6:57 - 7:00
    I forgot to mention that today is
  • 7:00 - 7:03
    Vivid Sydney, it's just a festival
  • 7:03 - 7:06
    of lights, as you can see there are lots
  • 7:06 - 7:09
    of lights here, and tomorrow
  • 7:09 - 7:12
    I also forget to say this, because this week
  • 7:12 - 7:17
    I'm too busy, tomorrow I'm flying abroad
  • 7:17 - 7:21
    for a very short holiday, because recently
  • 7:21 - 7:24
    I've been too stressed due to work,
  • 7:24 - 7:28
    due to other things, and I just need a holiday.
  • 7:34 - 7:36
    So, I've been fed, and now I'm going to
  • 7:36 - 7:38
    the cinema to watch the new film,
  • 7:38 - 7:40
    Warcraft!
  • 7:41 - 7:46
    And now you probably can't hear me,
  • 7:46 - 7:48
    because I've totally lost my voice.
  • 7:48 - 7:52
    I'm at the end of the night. I really
  • 7:52 - 7:53
    liked the film World of Warcraft,
  • 7:54 - 7:57
    so if you liked this film, like it,
  • 7:57 - 8:00
    share it, subscribe to my channel,
  • 8:00 - 8:03
    f**k my voice, and I'll see you all in
  • 8:03 - 8:04
    the next film.
  • 8:04 - 8:05
    And if you're not there,
  • 8:06 - 8:08
    I'll steal your voice.
