Laowai speaking (bad) Mandarin


Recommended Posts

The Big Bang Theory is a great show, it's worth watching in its entirety. The guy teaching the other guy Mandarin is a would-be womaniser trying to impress women by his knowledge of foreign languages (though usually in vain). The other guy... is just Sheldon (you'll know what that means if you watch the show)...

Thanks for posting, it was fun! :D

If you haven't seen it, here's an example of switching syllables that actually makes a humorous error:

He says 包皮 bao1pi2 (foreskin) instead of 皮包 pi2bao1 (wallet).
