Are Chinese Speakers Better at French Pronunciation?

Description

Someone on YouTube has a theory: Mandarin Chinese speakers are better at French pronunciation... unless they also speak English. Quite the emotional roller coaster for me, in about five seconds. I went up so high, because I speak Mandarin. And then I was dropped to the bottom, because I speak English too. So this episode is me checking the theory against the actual research. Turns out some of it is really true.
