her indian english accent is awesome. Thats exactly how an indian woman speaks.
wasn’t sure where she was going with this initially but a great message encapsulated in an engaging and unique monologue. bravo.
not only funny…..she is smokin hot
this was frickin awesome!
I wasn’t so impressed with her Chinese accent the first time I watched this, but since I’ve been taking Chinese, my opinion of it has improved – she sounds just like my Chinese teacher.
She is amazing. Really awesome from beginning to end
She’s my new personal hero!
She is awesome!
Since Arnie has been a governor, everytime I hear someone wth any kind of accent say the word “California” it sounds just like Arnold saying it. The chinese voice wasn’t as good as the others. Though its hard for most people to pull off a Chinese accent cause of the biological difference. Chinese people have shorter tongues than other cultures, which is why they have a difficult time with R, S, T, D, L, and N sounds when learning english.
she’s good!!!
She’s not supposed to just be funny, she’s supposed to be REAL. Which she is, amazingly so.
Hahaha exactly the reply I thought I’d get. Good man.
