you can sit a bit forward
your face can appear bigger that's ok
ok let's start
so this video is an experiment and challenge for us
that, the two of us
will only be communicating in English for the next 7 days
we been dating for 3 years
but we never seriously or completely used English to communicate with each other
when one speaks a foreign language one's personality changes too, more or less
so I think one of the interesting things about this experiment is...
we might discover...
a new side of...
each other
- this sentence's grammar sounds off - you are already using English grammar
so let's start
you will give me a high high five
and.. then we start
s t a r t
ok
can I leave?
ok
so the challenge has officially started, and one of the...
things I worried the most is...
will have the limitations to express ourselves
and also I'm worried because the whole experience is kind awkward
we might end up to...
end up not loving each other
no.. end up not talk so much I mean
cause it's so awkward
- I'm not myself anymore - I'm totally fine
I think I'm already regretting this idea
I think 7 days is too long
right
I think
I think one day is enough
but I feel like if we just do it one day
and the whole process is going to be just full awkwardness
I think it's gonna be better after two days
probably
and it's going to become natural
probably, I'm not awkward anyways
super weird
my only thing is I have to tolerate your English accent for whole 7 days
what do you mean my English is perfect
so now we just gotta mind our own business
painting my nails
probably won't be able to do anything for ten to.. for at least half an hour actually after painting your nails
so I just sit there and watch
as you do all the hard work
you can help me at five o'clock
what time is it now?
four thirty seven
that's not enough
whaaaat
cinematic
emotional
art
this camera is soooo good
worth eeeeevery penny
guess what
what
I have my friend with three legs
It's called.. the tripod
no I mean it can you talk normally?
today is the day to say goodbye to my piano
for how much?
three hundred dollars
pathetic
before I say goodbye I shall play a song
name a song
you don't know any song... apart from "Fur Elise"
that's right
I kinda regret buying this colour
just like any other colors
check 'em out
go do that in your own channel
I feel I'm a better person when speaking Chinese
in what way?
friendlier, nicer, less... judgemental
then why do you have such personality when you speak English?
I donno
that counts as English right?
*speaks Japanese*
that's against the rule
for the punishment you're going to transcribe and translate and put subtitles for this video
I'm not
I don't we need to document anything
no I mean.. of course.. but this is related to this experiment
I need you to be completely honest
ok about what
so it's been only one hour and what did you
just say to me? you suggested we end this experiment
no I suggest that we speak Chi.. switch back to Chinese after 10 o'clock or 11
yes you suggest that we only speak English to each other 9 to 9 right?
or 9 to 10
that's kind of like giving up
it's not
I want go full out
But you sound stupid
this is a part of the experiment
to discover the new self, the new
each other
the new self huh?
I prefer the old one
we are recording
do you think of our dinner for today
tomorrow and the day after tomorrow
looks great
does it?
how great is it?
*kiss*
EW
I'm going to work
it was super awkward
to say that first thing in English in the morning
and as the rule applied we are communicating in English right now that's also applies
to the written form, texting, so let me just ask her
what
kind
toilet paper
did you
want
me to buy?
apparently this is the brand she likes to wipe her butt hole
I'm back
tripod
human's best friend
forgot about the video thing, can we like...
you don't have to be on camera then if you are so insecure about your face, which
I don't think you need to be this this much insecure
do you identify yourself
as a feminist first of all let me ask you this
probably
okay so what do you think of
the current media portraying how women should look
honestly this might sound super politically incorrect
but I kind agree
with the body image that's on the mainstream media
if everybody just want to
show their perfect side on the screen and you agree it's a bad influence to
the younger generations right? (to) the girls are just growing up
yeah
they have unrealistic expectations
it doesn't have to be unrealistic
well because you only showing your perfect side so
those people think you're perfect all the time which they later on
going to let themselves try to be perfect all the time which is
impossible and then they get depressed
I think we we should be more comfortable
to show ourselves as who we are right now to be confident
says the person who washes his hair for the day
I didn't
that's it for today see you
wait we should talk about something
regarding to this experiment this is day two and how you're feeling right now, actually
today we didn't talk much. I mean when I see you when I want to talk when I want
say something to you it's always in Chinese, in my mind and then comes out as
Chinese. because that's how we've been communicating for the past three years
that's what we should be doing
yes. So... but this is experiment and it was very difficult for the first day
I have to intentionally to speak English for you I have to think first
after the afternoon I think I've switched a little bit
ok
so not much change let's see
how day three works out
I can't wait for this experiment to be over
see you tomorrow
I'm going to work
we need to talk about something
like what
like how I'm not
still not feeling secure enough to be on camera?
sure
Emmm, only because I forgot to style my hair today
cause I forgot about the whole thing
I did wash my hair just didn't style it
you don't have to style it
and I'm having a
really bad skin day because I slept too late last night
anyways it's...
it's a bad skin day
it's still a filming day
it's a seven day series
yeah that's why I hate filming
so you will be on camera today or not
no
I thought you were trying
I'm not
not anymore
cause I realise how terrible my skin looks now
are you moving the camera way?
fine
but you you promised we're gonna finish this project together
just be two of us talking bout..
food we gonna eat tonight which is super boring no one cares
nobody cares about anything anyways
random topic generator
I don't want talk to you for the sake of taking
just so we can filming the two of us talking and post it online
that's stupid
but this is the experiment
there's no experiment if you're not cooperating you are part of this project
I can't do this just myself
that's why I don't want to be a YouTuber
well now I know maybe I will try to design more projects in the future with you less involved
that's not the problem but right now it's already started
alright
so..
would you rather lose an arm or a leg
why would I chose between these twp
just answer the question
why would I want to make myself miserable
just answer the question
I refuse
okay you asked me question you're not good at answering questions
would you rather be the best player on a horrible team
or the worst player on great team
of course on a great team
so the worst player basically
well, worst play...
where everyone blames you
worst player in the great team
that guarantees me to be the best player in any other less great team
yeah the guarantee is everyone else in the team blames you, for everything
yeah just in the team but everybody else..
it lowers your self-esteem
no I won't
I like to be surrendered by people
that's greater than me
are you a risk taker what is the biggest risk that you've taken?
that's two questions
well it generated two questions for me
I think I am a risk taker
the biggest risk...
you've ever taken?
dating me
maybe
is that so?
actually I am I am a risk taker but I'm not a risk taker towards relationships
if it's just some regarding to relationships then I'm not a risk taker
but anything else I am a risk taker
what do you think of this experiment? this is day three
I think conversations in English isn't a problem for me
the problem being texting in English is super not efficient just because it's
way faster to text in Chinese you can express far more information in a few words
and you don't have to care about grammar basically and another problem is
that I have to prepare myself to face a camera lens every night
which I don't want to
why does every personality have to have a face?
because facial expression is very important
I'm sure everyone can hear how hateful
not easygoing I am judging by the voice of me
maybe...
judging by the way I talk
maybe you look friendly
I don't
I know
so what did you learn from this experiment at day three?
that being a youtuber is hard as beep
why is being YouTuber hard?
and it's beep not fun to...
- thanks for beeping your self to save my time on editing - to present your whole life to the public
I mean regarding to this experiment
regarding to this experiment?
that some people do sound dumb when they speak a second language
so you basically attacking me right now
I... that's actually a valid point because I can't express myself as accurate
when I speak Chinese so the limitation
- you're not that accurate in Chinese either - makes me...
so you saying I'm dumb all the time
no I'm just saying your accent is
better in Chinese
okay I think that's enough for today
I think that's more than enough
I'm going to work
day four
I think last night was extremely cold minus 22
or something like that
it's too cold
not for humans to live
the sun is out tho
I hope it warms up soon
I think it's good to go
time to go home time to go home
I'm back
Google
what's the temperature?
in Regina it's currently minus 11
it's really cold outside
only stupid people will choose to go out
like today
ahhhhh
I'm dead
chocolate
brunette
espresso
for fuck sake why does it have to be this cold?
how is it tasting?
this one?
yeah
really good
as usual
hey Google
what's the temperature?
in Regina it's currently minus 7
hey Google it's Regina not Regina
I ate too much
like way too much
now I'm feeling sorry for myself
I'm sad
I'm back
I got food from two lovely ladies
taiko no datsujin
what are you going to eat?
Timmies
how about you order that waffle thing so I can take a bite
hungry AF
and I'm gonna take a bite of this
we got a small coffee double double
medium steep tea double double
I like it
I like it
you want eat mine?
but I want this too
today's weather is...
horrriiiible
what did you buy?
two candles and a hand cream
the hand cream might be a little bit unnecessary
but the candles I believe are good
I forgot how to re-wrap it so we'll just do it this way
you look stupid
I know
I think this is an artistic shot
okay
filming
from the reflection in the mirror
of a woman reapplying lipstick
paired with this type of background music
it's classic
it feels like an indie movie
yeah
that's what I like
same
done
ok how do we conclude this experiment
it was
"fun"
and
"educational"
and
"innovative"
yep
do you recommend other people do this experiment
I mean if you're a super borad
if you can't think of a different way of torturing yourself
so you don't recommend it
not really
I recommend people to do this experiment
maybe not this long
maybe like...
maybe not at the beginning for a relationship
maybe like
two days
because we got used to the native expressions
it's a lot adjustment for us
we've been talking in Mandarin for three years now
languages have their personalities it's different
when you switch the language
the whole speaking tone and then the way you express yourself is all different
so that's why it felt awkward to me at first
it didn't happen to me
it happened to you
you said you don't like me when I speak English
yeah but I don't feel awkward
well awkward is my way saying i don't like it
it's not that strong as i don't like it but it's just awkward
fine
so the change of our expression personality is definitely kind of weird at first
so maybe if you want to improve your English
you can do this with someone relatively same level as you
and maybe not full time
cause 24 hours is is really tiring
after work or study you just want to relax but you still have to kind of work
with your brain
to speak
better
to make as...
as less as
possible mistakes
okay
I'm already tired
