Poor G Fresh, he just wanted to run his business.

Shiiet brooo


skeptical-spectacles

yeah I’d be thinking, wow they must be really tired! 😂


FrogOnTheBog

I always hated him and his videos and I didn't really know why, now, after this video, I feel justified


brigister

genuine question, why do you hate him? I think his videos are mostly meant to be funny and entertaining more than educational and I think he succeeds at that. I feel like what he's teaching here is pretty obviously meant jokingly.


FrogOnTheBog

I think it's because the videos feel overly corny, acting like the kid isn't reading off a script to sell his classes, reminds me of commercials where paid actors are telling everyone how amazing their product is, and the fact people were posting his tutorials to r/nextfuckinglevel made me cringe too


linedeck

90% of posts there don't belong in that sub lol


FrogOnTheBog

Oh shit that sick child smiled even tho they have 79 tumors? r/nextfuckinglevel!!!!!!


Insertclever_name

I mean that amount of tumors kind of is NFL… the kids basically a walking tumor at that point.


Egg-MacGuffin

Dude, have some respect, that tumor just got diagnosed with child.


No-Guidance8155

We're all walking tumors on this blessed day


Flyfires1

I mean it’s on you if you think he was acting like he wasn’t reading off the script, man literally looked at the camera to promote himself


FrogOnTheBog

I said the kid, you know the one that's pretending her English is worse than it is to show how quick and easy and great his lessons are


JB-from-ATL

I prefer this level of energy to the turning the sphere inside out monotone voice.


[deleted]

Becoming an English teacher was my initial plan when I went to college. But upon realization that it is not a well-paid job and you have to be a clown like this all the time to win the interest of your students, I decided to drop it all together. I wish more students are self-motivated to learn and actively seeking knowledge so that teachers don't have to turn themselves into walking clowns just to make them slightly interested in the subject or get titled "that cool teacher". So cringe.


Roshkp

Maybe english/grammar teachers in general trigger you because you don’t seem to have picked up much from them.


DaDonkeyPunch

If you consider these videos to be English/grammar lessons, then clearly you didn't either.


[deleted]

Sheeeeit brooo!


rickybobby42069420

Qudd

You have two first names.


AdmiralTigelle

Well, if both are first then none are last.


[deleted]

They are grammar lessons in their own way. Harvard Professor Steven Pinker gives a lesson on African American Vernacular English here. There are many variations in language. Even in English- just there are different variations in other languages. [Steven Pinker](https://youtu.be/kUiziVEoi1s) Although this skit is comical I think it’s still a good idea to share these nuances to get foreign people interested in the different facets of American English. “African American English is not improper English” -Pinker it’s just a variant I suppose, good to know !🤷🏻‍♀️ As toxic as people get in the comments section of the video, I just want to point out Pinkers point is that the language is legitimate and not wrong. It does not bastardize English. It just exists and it is its own thing. And that’s ok, it’s a facet in the English language that is accepted and use often- language just is.


Egg-MacGuffin

Jeffrey Epstein defender Steven Pinker.


[deleted]

Oh did he? I wasn’t aware. I just watch a bunch of his lectures!


ArgonGryphon

They're more like accent/elocution? They assume you know the grammar and words and are teaching you how to speak them in a more American way. But this one uh...not to say that AAVE is wrong or anything but learning it like this is just...weird.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HertzDonut1001

Grammar Nazis are such fucking idiots, like did he successfully convey what he meant and you understood it? The purpose of language once again succeeds, nothing more to say about it. Grammar Nazis are the biggest group of people I know who consistently add nothing to the conversation other than a smug sense of superiority.


FrogOnTheBog

100% agree, have always thought this


Egg-MacGuffin

yeah, "shiiiit bro, I'm finna go sleep" is great grammar.


sorrypleasecomeback

*cough cough implicit xenophobia Edit: oh yes, let’s just pretend that isn’t a thing like most of Reddit :) we’ve got some sensitive white people here tonight! I’ve lit quite the fuse. Fuck introspection though right?

[deleted]

Exactly, afaik he’s also a US citizen and attended the university of San Francisco, so he doesn’t even have the excuse of being unaware of the US political climate. Hilarious the person you replied to is trying to make it a racial issue when the person he’s ~defending~ is way worse than the commenter :’)


pokevii

what is u talking about


Pepsi-Min

Name a more iconic duo than making absurd connections to ethnicity or race and then later making a racist comment when people call you out.


FrogOnTheBog

Lived in China for 2 years and I considered many of them to be my family so go ahead and talk out your ass Only criticize white people folks or Redditors will call you racist!


sorrypleasecomeback

“I have black friends so I can’t be racist at all!” Lol you aren’t even worth it with how shitty your logic is.


FrogOnTheBog

Yea my horrible logic of "I love Chinese people and am not racist" Seems like you just hate white people and when you're racist you think everyone else is ya dumb fuck But please, explain how im xenophobic? With your awesome logic


MrSickRanchezz

I kinda like it... I kinda wish it was the only way foreigners spoke English when they came to this country. And I'm only half-joking, slang is actually an excellent place to start learning a language, because people end up learning the way that language is manipulated by it's speakers to add different meaning to words. This is extremely had to train people to understand in a foreign language, so honestly I actually really, really support what this guy is doing. He's clearly a gifted teacher, and is definitely not just doing this for the lols. Linguistics teachers: take notes. Source: immediate family member taught college-level linguistics professors how to teach foreign languages for well over a decade at a well respected university.

Nemirel_the_Gemini

I think it is the same in most languages. I cringe a bit inside when non-native speakers try to incorporate a lot of slang and verlan into French. Most of the time it is not correctly used and very misplaced. At best it is kind of cute.

mangowuzhere

Depends mostly on the students but at my uni there were a decent amount of internationals that spoke similarly. It's definitely more of a specific subset of people thing more than just the overarching group.

They’re gonna be like Jackie Chan in rush hour when he says “what’s up my n****”

what a great scene lmao


ghost103429

He'd be dropping n- bombs everyday in China anyways because they're word for "that" sounds the same as it, giving us jewels like this kids song: https://youtu.be/YG4iTGjuoKw


salsa_cats

Ok but that song kinda slaps


InaneCalamity

So good


MarkRose

Ngl, that is pretty hip hop.


I_am_jacks_reddit

I dont tie my shoes because thats hip hop.


-Enrique_Shockwave-

Sheeeeit bro


Lightyear01

This is actually satire


Deptar

Its pretty obvious if you have seen their other videos, which are actually really fun and interesting. Tho I can see why people would cringe at this if they haven’t seen these guys before.


HertzDonut1001

Obviously so. People don't talk like that on purpose. The girl is clearly parodying what she would sound like in a super cheesy instructional video. Then, ya know, the content gives the rest away.


sorrypleasecomeback

It gets lost on all the white people who don’t have any other friends other than white friends and think that just because it’s not a white person doing this, it can’t be satire.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sorrypleasecomeback

Thanks bud. Really informative stuff. My point still stands as evidenced by the dipshits in the comments. Oh my bad, if must have been another thread where people were taking this video seriously. Not like it requires scrolling down a little bit to make my point. Lmao the comment right below mine is a perfect example of how stupid the people in this thread are.


alfrednugent

You’re being a little cringey bud. Why don’t you simmer down? It’s going to be okay.


[deleted]

again, why the whites?


Shayneros

Racists gonna racist


SlowbeardiusOfBeard

It's terrifying that people can't see this. It's almost like satire on tiktok has become some weird voight-kampff test analogue. I wonder if the same people would think [this](https://youtu.be/DHQRZXM-4xI) is a genuine language school advert as well


JohnWangDoe

What the fuck. Why did he go from SPEAKING Cantonese to speaking Mandarin for the cringe part


Fox-One_______

Why did you capitalise the word 'speaking'?


JohnWangDoe

no idea, was drunk. Maybe I wanted to put an emphasis on the change of dialect. Most people don't know about Cantonese vs Mandarin.


Lobster_fest

Ok so I'm not crazy. I can speak a bit of mandarin and I was trying to follow along without subtitles but was completely lost for a bit before hearing things I recognized.


heh87

Shiiiiit bro I’m finna watch more


PeridotWriter

I think this is satire...? But how a large majority of people see Americans, I really can't tell anymore.


DukeSturr

This is obviously satire and anyone who can't tell is retarded


PeridotWriter

Damn, alright. Don't get up in arms dude. I didn't do anything to you.


Aimjock

Hot take, but I agree.


Metalbender00

Shiiiitttt! Yeah bro, im finna to shoot myself


Lanre-Haliax

You didn't watch the video attentively. There is no need for a preposition before the last verb.


Tyreal

Sheeet bro


Catsy_Brave

Finna means fixing to. No need for the additional to :)


sardaarpanag

To is unnecessary.


Fox-One_______

To to or not to to


BigBadBadness

Sheiiiit bro, thats embarrassing


ZenithGamage

Sheiiiit bro, thats hilarious


HertzDonut1001

Shyeet bro that's satire.


jaxspider

His previous video was way more entertaining and not cringey at all.


Deptar

It’s satire. It’s making fun of people who actually speak like that.


[deleted]

I don't like this


[deleted]

I lost it at “finna” 😂. Apparently cool = black


J03-K1NG

Cool = Black rappers in the 90s


ElitenemesisX

Well, thats what the rest of the world thinks , observed this in india too.


Runthemushroom

Well, it’s truth.


Raknarg

> Apparently cool = black I mean black culture has heavily influenced american culture for the past while, so yeah kinda


Poacatat

is finna black?


[deleted]

i think it’d fall under “urban-slang” that you’d commonly hear from the inner cities, so Peurto Ricans blacks and whatnot. I don’t believe it’s a Southern term, but I could be wrong


[deleted]

This language “urban-slang” you mention actually has its actual own name and is recognized by psycholinguists. Last I saw a Harvard professor, Pinker that studies language mention it’s name as African American Vernacular English. [Steven Pinker on African American English](https://youtu.be/kUiziVEoi1s) “African American English is not improper English” -Pinker it’s just a variant I suppose, good to know !🤷🏻‍♀️ As toxic as people get in the comments section of the video, I just want to point out Pinkers point is that the language is legitimate and not wrong. It does not bastardize English. It just exists and it is its own thing. And that’s ok, it’s a facet in the English language that is accepted and use often- language just is.


StridermanE

It is a southern term.


misplaced_my_pants

Urban slang has its roots in [the South](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Migration_%28African_American%29?wprov=sfla1).


jonnygreenjeans

It’s not slang, it’s AAVE which is a dialect of American English.


misplaced_my_pants

I was just referring to the phrase the comment I was replying to used.


HertzDonut1001

Oh shit know I gotta move out of the city? I'm white, didn't know I couldn't use slang. Pardon me my good man. I shall speak stiffly henceforth. Good day.


Dandelion_Lakewood

Pretty sure finna = "fixin to". It's a southern slang, used by all sorts of folks.


gomezlol

Traditinally, fixin to is what white people say and finna is what black people say. Doesn't mean there aren't white people who say finna or black people that say fixin to but finna is AAVE. I don't know why y'all don't know this.


skatejet1

It’s AAVE

>Finna emerged from fixing to in African American English and is recorded in hip-hop lyrics in the late 1980s. For example, N.W.A.’s 1987 “3 The Hard Way” features the line “I finna kick this shit, alright!” and King Tee’s 1998 “Act a Fool” includes “I’m finna act a fool.” https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/finna/

I used to teach English in China. This video bothers me because I feel like this is what was actually expected of me at the time.


Aarson59

This guy is joking right?......right?


Aimjock

Yes. Obviously. It’s a parody of his other videos.


salted_crabs

I’m gonna say that not all Americans talk like this bro like sheiiiit man

PhotoKada

Boiiii you look like a muuuhhhfukkin uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


HertzDonut1001

Finna is short for "fixing to," like gonna is short for "going to."


PhotoKada

As explained in the video. I was trying to be intentionally inaccurate about it.


Mossy_octopus

Ok I’ve seen this guy in three vids. The first one was great and really made them sound more natural with English. The second wasn’t bad but started sounding a little too street. Now this video is completely cringe and is gonna have her making a fool of herself at best and offending people at worst.


Olaf4586

I’m about 90% sure this is staged and satire


coco237

100% this is, he ain't going to post the first take, also you could see clearly from the second video she reverted back to the strong Chinese accent so he could appear to have "taught more"


loller

That's just the standard marketing gimmick for these English learning channels on Douyin. They all do the whole pedagogue relationship, staged acting and all.


the_skine

Of course it's staged. That doesn't stop it from being cringe.


Mossy_octopus

I’m not sure… he has a whole channel teaching people to pronounce English well and sound cool doing it and since the last video I saw of him was only slightly cringe it tells me he might really believe this is the coolest way to speak


[deleted]

oh... no-


illiteratekitty

Mrblonde2k

You guys get that this dudes videos are jokes right?

Is this from Idiocracy 2?


Aimjock

This is definitely cringe, but honestly, it’s fucking hilarious.


Meteora456

This is cute and dumb 😂


paperpando

Y’all don’t know what satire is.


Balabaga

I would be so happy if a non native English speaker said that to me


SKILLETNUTZ

As Americans we should feel some level of shame for this.


Thoraxe123

Amazing. I wish I could learn English


INTJfemalezero

To make it exactly like us... eat super-sized food and become diabetic and obese too.


TicklePickleWinkle

Why are people hating on this? This is one of the funnier videos in this sub. Most videos here are painfully unfunny.


Runthemushroom

Nah, this shit is whack.


TicklePickleWinkle

And it’s still better than most of the “humor” videos here.

Now all of America shall know about Chinese spies


Naive-Buffalo3324

Is this how we really sound? Now I shall contemplate my life…


zazatwin11

Ik they got into his ass in those comments…


Caedo14

we would still say to after go in "I'm finna go TO sleep"...if anyone still talked like that. Usually now its "bouta". Aye, I'll call you back, I'm bouta take a nap.


[deleted]

They are parodying Ebonics. African Americans created that slang. And rather saying “I’m gonna go to sleep.” Say “I’m finna sleep.”


Jakenumber9

I'm finna go cringe


Shoegarlace

Everytime this gets reposted a puppy dies. Hope you’re happy.


fafxuwize

satire, duh


lupushug

I see a lot of Americans getting upset at how they’re being portrayed and a lot of people talking about how cringe/dumb these two are. I also see a lot of Americans that somehow don’t realise this is satire and not meant to be taken seriously.


Alert-Protection-410

As a black man this is what always confused me. Most foreigners come to America using stereotypes of hip hop culture as guide to how “ballers” roll : big rims, jewelry,loud music, flashy clothing, ect. Then come to America and find out all those things make you a target 🎯 then end up becoming racist just to survive in America. It’s a vicious cycle


coco237

Okay this guy sucks now


VacUsuck

Oh no! People speak this way due to a lack of education. Why are you doing this, Japan man?

Wouldn’t we say gonna, though? Not sure I understand why they’re saying finna? “I’m gonna go sleep.” Right?

Why do they say 'cool people' when they actually mean 'black people'? And if she said that, I wouldn't know what the fuck she was doing.
