I will get severe headache if i have such that translator during the important conference.I was wondering that if the meeting involved the representative of other countries,then they all should understand english quite well and they can at least communicate among each other,but there were no one tried to stop Helen from continue talking.Helen should go into the TV and not work in a company.Finally, we should not accept the task that we are really not familiar with.

When I knew that we should leave a comment for every video,I felt scared because I scared I can't understand what the video talking about. I think that my english is very poor.However, this video is very simple and very funny make me laugh like a drain.Haha... I think that Helen has enough courage.Although she knew that she should translate 7 types of different languages and actual ly she didn't know any one of these languages, she still brave to accept the job.I will give her a clap. However, it is not a good example in the actual life. In our working area, we should know our own ability and should not accept the job easily without have a deep thinking because it just will make ourself and the company disgrace. At the end, I think that Helen will be fired by the company...

For me, accept the work that we cant do is a bad decision. I can say that she brave enough but be brave at the place that we should not be brave is totally wrong. Yes we must be brave especially in meeting or open talking but there is a limit. She not only damage her employer but ashamed herself. The people involved in the meeting also should understand English when they want to communicate at international level since English is the international language. This video show us the important of language in communication. I can't imagine how we want to communicate each other if language is not exist in this world.

After watching so many videos,I feel this is the best video. It is hilarious.As we know different countries have different languagues.It is good to learn many types of languages and it enables us to communicate with the others easily without misunderstanding or misinterpreting the real meaning of the message.From the video shown, the so called "translator" does not know how to translate the languague. More over, she makes fool of the people around . This is a very disrespectful act.

At the first moment i watching this video clip,i feel very funny and this video is a suitable for person who was in stress and sadness.But if this situation is happen in this real world,i think that the coorperation between company will be destroyed.I may feel unrespectful when a person speaks unresponsible like that.From this video,we know that english is a important language and we must learn it well.

This video is hilarious. Upload it to Youtube and it will gain 1 million views. !! In my opinion, we should know our limit on how well we can perform in a subject or matter. Don't become a stupid person by humiliating ourselves and our employer. Chinese community has a quote that sounds like this: "If you don't have such a big head, do not wear such a big hat. The quote means if you do not have the ability, please don't do it, or not it will cause something bad to happen.

That's a brave of Helen. But this was a very funny video. Helen should not imitate the slang of other country, that was a rude attitude. If she cannot be a translator, she doesn't have to offer herself to do this task. By doing this, she had humiliating his company and maybe the company will experience a bit loss. Other than that, all the foreigner should have thier own translator for emergency case like this. As a conclusion, we must know the language of the world for international matter. Thank you.

Well, of all the videos, this is the most entertaining video. From my point of view, this is what is going to happen when there is no common language used in a meeting or a conference. Everyone will speak with their own dialect and mis-comunication will occur.

One thing good about Helen is that she speaks with confidence though it is all nonsense.

It is a funny video.very funny.I think Helen should not take the job because she knows nothing about the seven countries.Every countries speak different languanges and act differently,when helen does that,any misunderstanding may occur.The deligates also will assume the Helen behaviour as rude.However,helen is brave but she makes herself humilitated in front of the people.I think she should think deeply before make a decision to be the translator.Thank you.

Hahaha...This is the best video than the videos before.Over brave?This is the best title for Halen can I gave.She just drop her image and dignity by doing that.She show her bad behaviour and brought the bad impression from people outside.However,her self confidence should be followed...

Wani said...

Happy to say that this video is the funniest among the others. In my opinion, Helen should not accept this job because it may give a bad consequence to the company. But in other side, I think Helen have a good confident level, she do not afraid to be humiliated. Just speak confidently, throw away the shy feeling...It is useful to be a good speaker, but don't throw all of our shyness. It will be dangerous.

>.< its a funny video i have never watch before...the woman is very brave to volunteer herself as a translator...but she don't know their languages and still volunteer herself as translator,this is that we should not to learn form her. anyway,i respect her courage,we should learn from her courage...

Siti Norhaslina Bt Halim said...

What a funniest video. Haha... What a shame for me if being like her. If i was her boss, i'll put my face under the desk. Oh no, i can't stop laughing. It is so funny. For me, i don't think she is brave or courage. I think, she is over confident and just want to show off to her boss. Maybe, I think she is dumb or cannot think rightfully at that time. No body want theirself to be humiliated in front of the others. What a shame!!!..

In this video, I consider the women can translate to different language. In the video, the women expression play and important rule in her performance. The expression that been shows by this women make the audience fell uncomfortable and fell like be teasing. And this automatically makes audience lose their trust to those women.
If I consider that the women cannot translate to 7 different languages, the women should not take the risk which to translate the language because she will make her company in big trouble. The women also should not tease the language because language means the country.

Hahhaha!!! This video is too funny for me.. I enjoyed to see this video. From this video, it teach me that know the others language is very important to presenter to present their speech in different language. Besides that, if we know the other language, it's bonus to us to present very well. As the translator, we should know 100% about the language that we used because it can make easier to make the present. And, as the chairman, we must chhose the right person and dont choose a wrong person because it's very import to attract them to hear our speech. That's all, thanks..

BISMILLAH.. NICE. TOO NICE.. I LAUGH A LOT EVERYTIME I WATCH JUST FOR LAUGH SHOW BUT WATCHING AT THIS VIDEO I LAUGH TOO MUCH I THINK. SHE IS REALLY GOOD AT ACTING. SHE USED A NICE FACIAL EXPRESSION, BODY LANGUAGE AND SEEMS CONFIDENT. THAT'S THE GOOD SIDE OF HER. BUT IN OTHER SIDE, SHE IS ACTUALLY PUTTING HERSELF IN TROUBLE AS SHE IS ACTUALLY MAKE JOKES OF OTHER COUNTRY LANGUAGE. THAT'S QUITE IMPOLITE AND RUDE. SHE IS EMBARRASSING HERSELF AND HER COMPANY. NICE VIDEO AND NICE MESSAGE.

XD..When i was watching this video, i keep laughing and laughing. Non-stop. Really Fun..!!! I have converted this video to my hand phone. It's really hilarious!!
Back to the topic. I think that Helen shouldn't volunteer herself to be the translator. She may help her friend to find someone else to be the translator,but not volunteer herself as she is not mastering the 7 languages. It will spoil her friend's presentation and reputation.
Talking about languages,it is an advantage if we've learned another language. We can talk to other people by using their language and hence the chances of misinterpreting/misunderstanding are lowered.That's all of my point of view.
Thank You. :)

When I see the video clips that show a women is destroy his friend’s discussion with translate wrong language to all company representative that came from different country. Based on video clips, I understand the important translator in our life because the present he or she can help us to communicate easily with foreign people and translate knowledge from foreign language into our language. If the translator is wrong or do not know translate foreign language to us, it will cause misunderstanding between us or them. So, I want the people that learn or do not know about foreign language is try improvement or learn the foreign language which can increase our knowledge about their culture, race and country.

After watching the video, i think that the officer is irresponsible. He should not give the job to that lady, without knowing her ability. The lady is really irrespectful. Before doing any work, we must think that we can complete the task given or not. so as a conclusion we should think deeply before making decision or job.

For me this video is very funny and stupid.haha.My comments is before attends the metting,the speaker should prepared a good translator to make sure the audience understand what the speaker talk about.The translator should able to talk in many language and try to respect the others language.If you are not sure,do not act as you know it.

As we all know, human being born to be a all rounder in every aspects but we must know our ability before we commited to a task given. from viewing this video, we know that lady in this video is adopt herself as a translator in that situation using a common sense about the accent of people from different countries.

are we have enough knowledge to be a good translator?.. that the question that plays in my minds related to this video...
this video shows that we are not have to pretend like we have a good or enough knowledge to translate the language if we are not the professional translator...
we have to know in deep about the meaning of a some language... like this woman in this video, she just make a sounds that related to the country....

First of all, i would like to leave a comment that it is a really... funny video.I have to praised that Halen is brave enough and talk confidently to the clients from others countrys. However,the way that she accept the job as a translator, i am totally disagree with her behaviour.She should know that her limit and she is unable to accept this job since she know nothing about the others country language. Her attitude is terrible,she imitate the slang of others countrys language and does not respect them at all.Furthermore, one more thing that i have learnt from the video is we should be able to manage the english language since it is the international language.It is important to us so that it can avoid any misunderstanding among the countrys.

When I am done watching this video, I think this is very funny video. At the beginning, I think this women can speak in seven language fluently but I am totally wrong because she only make the mimic of other language and it is so funny. I also think the women totally out of mind because it was an important meeting but she can make fun with it.

I believe,who are watched this video will laughing include me.haha..so funny!.But we must learnt something from it.Nowadays,learn other languages are very important especially when we go interview to get a place in job.Not only that,it enables us to communicate easily with the people around the world.Actually in this video,Helen didn't know these 7 language but she still speak in her own ways.That why we must learn other languages.

This video is so funny! It makes me so laughed.I think Helen dont know that she must translate to many languange.She maybe know only a few languange not all languange. I can imagine the boss feel ashamed.Beside that,the cooperation between the company will destroyed.
This is because the guest not understand what the translator said.So, it's very important to learnt many languange at least 3 languange.

This video clip makes me to laugh which i think most of the people who watch this video clip for sure will laugh as i do.First of all,I don't understand what the video clip try to explain. But after I watch few times the video clips, I found out that Helen is really a very courage woman. Although she don't know other languages she bravely perform something in front of them. It's shows that she brave in take risk and also good in attract people's attention.However I think she should learn some languages in order to perform excellently in her task.
