English LingQ 2.0 Podcast #20: Learning Chinese with Luke Truman (3)

Well there we have it got us some excellent advice there. Some great. Uh, content. I'll put the links in the description too, for anyone who is interested in checking those out. Uh, you mentioned interviews on your channel, just there and you have some excellent ones. I see. Uh, is there anyone though, who you would love?

I was wondering who would love to have on your,channel? It can be, you know, unrealistic, like... the Pope or something. Is there anyone you'd love to have on? Um, yeah. And if so, who and why?

Luke: I mean, yeah, I think Pope speaks in Chinese would be a great clickbait and I'd get so many views of that. So, yeah.

Yeah. Chinese, um, sphere. I guess the one that I kind of looked up to a lot was Dasha, which translates to like big mountain he's Canadian comedian. Well, he was born in Canada, lives in China and has done for like maybe like 30, 40 years. And he speaks absolutely phenomenal. And it's not that he just speaks like a native, he also makes lots of jokes and you know, he's standing in front of a crowd of thousands of Chinese people, making them all laugh.

It's just completely blows my mind every time I watch one of his performances. So yeah, I would love to get him on, um, maybe more realistic. Um, there's also this other, I think he's a polyglto he speaks a few languages called Laoma on ... Again speaks really kind of, like really authentic Northern accent in China.

And he has really, really good pronunciation. He has lots of videos, teaching English, pronunciation to Chinese people, he's lived there for a long time and he speaks really good. So I'd love to get Laoma on the channek as well if, uh, if I got the opportunity.

Elle: Well, fingers crossed and to go back to Dashu, is that his name?

Luke: It's Dashu. It's like big mountain.

Elle: Uh, I feel like making people laugh in the language, you know, making other people understand that language laugh is like the ultimate. I feel, you know, as it's so nuanced, you know, comedy in different cultures. So yeah, I imagine that I would be, yeah, just, just would be an amazing feeling.

So, and he's Canadian, you said?

Luke: Yeah. Pretty sure he's Canadian, yeah, pretty sure.

Elle: All right. Cool. Okay. Well, uh, all of these great pieces of content that you have mentioned, I will put in the description and also a link to your channel for anyone who's interested in, checking it out. Thank you so much for joining us today Luke.

Luke: Thank you so much for having me on. I really enjoyed it.
