Japan also seemed like the better choice because the northern latitude coincided with China’s capital, Beijing.

What is going on in this person's brain? Do they think the magnetic poles impact a person's accent? Being closer to the equator makes you sound more like a hick or what lmao

Ah yes studying Arabic in Mexico will help me develop an Algerian accent because of the latitude

Oh dear god I think he first learned Taiwan has a different accent, and separately learned that it's in the south, so therefore there would be a southern accent and mentally melded the two together as Taiwanese have a hillbilly accent

He then learned the University of Tokyo has a good Mandarin course, and it's on the same level latitude as Beijing, so he would get a proper northerner accent.

If this is real, this guy is incredible
