It really helps to understand radicals for sure. Thank you for your comment 🙏🏻😊

De hecho, mi español está retrocediendo últimamente. 🤦‍♂️Tengo que usar mucho diccionario o preguntarle mi hermanito que habla español.😉 Hace un año mi español era mejor, pero me olvidé de gran parte actualmente.😢😭😭😭

​@@learnpromandarinoh, comprendo, tuve el mismo problema cuando quise aprender finés, hermoso idioma, pero difícil...

Porqué quiere aprender finés? Si no le importa que pregunte.

@@learnpromandarin Lo intenté aprender debido a que me pareció un idioma bonito, mí primer contacto con el idioma fue escuchando bandas de heavy metal de Finlandia e indagando sus letras

Qué interesante! Además de usar este método que enseño mandarín para aprender español, también escuché mucha música y vi muchas películas en español. mi esposa me dijo que mejorara mi chino hace un par de años, así que dejé de aprender español. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂 pero estaba aprendiendo a hablar español con fluidez por primera vez en mi vida. Básicamente, fue solo a través de la inmersión 😉👍🏻 ¿Eres de España o de Latinoamérica? Soy de California. 我住过中国两年。也为了住过别的地方。差不多不停地搬家

😊🙏🏻❤️ thank you for the kind words. If you don’t mind me asking. What are your goals for learning Chinese? I will make videos in the future about different methods of learning languages, but mostly Chinese. Of course, this isn’t the only way 😉😁

I haven’t given up yet. 😉 我还没放弃！ 😁 But I have been super busy lately. I still have a lot of material planned and topics I plan to discuss, but not fully prepared yet. When I start back up, I should have quite a bit of material. Sadly, if I don’t feed the algorithm with as much as I was doing before, which was a video per week, UA-cam basically shuts me down 😥🤦‍♂️ But I for sure will produce more in the future 😊 Thanks for keeping me encouraged.

Good question. I think it’s just the pronunciation that I’ve heard or hear a lot, which may be a regional thing. But I think I only noticed it on the first time I said it. But if you heard it more than once, then it is what I’m accustomed to. Could be a northern thing or just a shěngyáng 沈阳 thing. I’m not sure. Something else that’ll happen the more you speak Chinese with certain people, the more you’ll realize what words they smash together or don’t enunciate clearly, which will naturally rub off on you. 😉

Thank you for the comment btw. I appreciate it. 😊🙏🏻

@@learnpromandarin That makes perfect sense! Thank you for taking time to answer my question.

I love it 😆😁 Chinese is awesome 😎 It is one of the things I love about the language. The mix and match of characters to make a word. It can be as funny as the word Earth = 地球， which could be ground, dirt, or earth and ball. Or it can be beautiful and have a deep meaning like 感谢 🥹🙏🏻 where as 感 comes from 感觉 to feel, and 谢 from 谢谢 to thank someone. So instead of just saying “thanks”, you’re thanking the person with feeling. It’s stronger and more beautiful to me. Anyway, I love Chinese 😉😁❤️

真不错！😁👍🏻 加油！

请问，你打算去中国吗？或者你去过吗？

@@learnpromandarin 老师，从来没有去过中国

如果你去的话，你要去哪儿？ 另外，你学中文的目的是什么？

@@learnpromandarin 一定要去西安，大利，杭州，丽江，还有多地方要去。 我的目的就是学习语言的快乐。

不客气 😉 好久不见！ 我在过一段时间应该会继续拍视频。但现在还比较忙😥

Muchas gracias! Vamos a producir nuevos videos muy pronto

Thank you 🙏😊

The fastest that I’ve learned any language Chinese or Spanish. Is when I was actively using it. For example, I play an active role in our local Mandarin speaking branch at church. That allows me to speak it and listen to it actively everyday (not passively like watching television, I’m engaged because I’m part of the conversation). So seek out any organization whether in person (preferably in person) or online that a lot of native speakers are involved in, and preferably don’t speak enough English for you to cheat and/or give up on practicing your Chinese. Second is that when I first learn to speak a language, I stick with only one subject at a time. For me, it started out with religion and religious terms. Then it naturally moved towards business, because there are always opportunities to do business. Then politics and other topics. My suggestion here is to focus on one subject and practice listening and speaking about the various aspects of that subject for approximately 3-6 months. Then move on to one to two other similar subjects. You’ll see how you will pick up the other two subjects so much quicker than the first. Lastly is practice using the sentence structures that you see in grammar books or on these videos in each of these subjects. The more you do this the less likely you’ll forget them and the more likely you’ll internalize them, making them your own. The only way I’ve been able to memorize new vocabulary is by finding as many opportunities to use it in real life until the sounds that I’m speaking become words to me and not just sounds. Also I ask Chinese natives if I’m using the word correctly. After about the third or fourth time I’ve asked a native and they’ve confirmed, I stop asking about that word. In other words, I talk to them about the usage of a certain word in Chinese (I’m not asking them in English about the usage of a word, only in Chinese), and we discuss about that word

Hopefully this helps. 🤞🏻🙏😊

谢谢你的赞美。我希望以后有时间的话我可以继续拍视频。🙏

谢谢你 🙏😊

Read the pinned comment at the top. Thank you.

Nice. 都是对的！加油！ ❤️👍🏻

I will likely find time within the next few months begin to start making videos again. With my new job, I’ve become real business. I definitely enjoy making videos too. It is fun to help others learn Mandarin as well 😊❤️

真不错！ 第一道第三是对的。 最后两个也是对的，但为了说what’s the distance from New York to California之类的中国人一般的话会把一个“远”放在句子的后边。比方说， 纽约到加州有多远？ 然后在这个情况 “有多长” 有点儿不清楚你想知道的是什么 （比如 distance or time)。 比如说，从深圳到沈阳需要多长时间？ “时间” 就让他们知道你说的是time (ie how much time does it take) 但如果你说 “从深圳到沈阳有多远？ 那，这个“多远” 就是distance (ie how much distance is in between the two places). “有多长”更像”what’s the length…of the item” 希望这个有帮助。 还有呢，从纽约开车到加州有两千七百七十六英里。和从深圳坐火车到沈阳有两千三百一十三公里。 😉

@@learnpromandarin 哦哦你非常的老师。很好，我懂了。感谢你。you explained so simple! Hahahahaha and thanks for the answers as well, good to know ✌️😉

相当好。都是对的。 😎👍🏻

Pikachu 😂 nice!

@@learnpromandarin 💪🎉😃✨谢谢你！

@@learnpromandarin 哈哈哈哈哈，我昨天觉得我很累所以我听了＂Pikachu". I was wondering why would you be teaching us that so specific word 😂. Until I get that it was actually pick up truck 😅😂

@@danielarodriguezminsky9643 中国怎么样？你累了因为最近学了比较中文吗？ 我记得我开始认真不说英文，天天都说中文。第一和第二个礼拜我又累又头疼。嗓子和嘴也比较累。后来就习惯了。习惯了以后就没事儿 😉

Please look at the comment I pinned to the top. I addressed this issue already. UA-cam doesn’t allow for easy editing. Thank you.

Thank you so much 😊

Awesome 😎 thank you ❤️🙏

What part of China are you from? I’ve lived in 沈阳 but visited a lot of other places.

@@learnpromandarin I am living in Macau

What do they say? I’m curious. Is it something like 把蓝牙连接 or 把蓝牙打开? I don’t have any that speak to me in Chinese lol 😉😂

@@learnpromandarin hahaha, none of those two. I remember the tones but not sure about the pinyin… I will try to listen more carefully xD

Great question. 吧 (ba) is for suggestions. 把 (ba3) is for moving the noun before the verb 😊 Some characters have so many functions like 来 (lai2). Or the word “to get” in English. 😉

@@learnpromandarin ohhhh so easy to confuse them at my level! Ok. I would love a video about this if possible. Thank you

@@danielarodriguezminsky9643 I get a lot of the characters confused all the time, especially if they aren’t used in a sentence or have some sort of context. I’m always improving my reading, which improves my overall language ability. But honestly, most people that I know that just stick with pinyin actually do just fine with communicating. Reading characters does bump it up a level for sure. But they can communicate all day long without knowing a bunch of characters. At the end of the day, language is just a bunch of sounds 😉

That is awesome 😎 it really can be applied to any language 😉

😂😁 可以啊。但我还可能需要一段时间安排好一些课程。 我忙着新工作，忙得不过来。 🤦‍♂️😢 希望很快可以继续拍新的视频 🤞🏻🙏

Not sure if you watched this lesson, here’s a lesson similar to your description. I’ll have to do another lesson like it to add more locations. But this one has similar stuff 😉 lemme know if this helps ua-cam.com/video/syajatT5KXU/v-deo.htmlsi=WptuwfxDa9PY7rW2

第一和第二是对的。 第三道题应该是“他们做完了吗？” 然后第四道题的答案是“马上做完了。” 或者“他们马上做完了。” 你真棒👍🏻 请问，你学习这么认真有什么样的目标？我不太记得有没有问过你这个问题。 如果你要去中国，你想要去哪里？ 南方很漂亮。 但是他们一般的话爱说他们的方言。北方人说得更像标准的普通话。有的还有方言，但是更接近普通话。

@@learnpromandarin thank you so much! I am in China already hahaha, in Shanghai. I came to do a master in Art and Design. My program is in English but I have mandarin classes twice a week(I started with zero knowledge of the language since September 2023). I NEED to have an HSK3 by January next year to be able to graduate, so that adds me a good pressure. But besides it as a requirement, I want to have conversations with Chinese people! And the more I understand the logic of the language,the more interesting it gets. So thank you for giving me an extra motivation to learn much more useful content than just the HSK3 text book.

Nice that is awesome 😎 and good to hear. I’m so glad my lessons are helping. It’ll be fun when I am able to make more lessons in the future. Good luck on preparing for the HSK 3, but I think after one year (with as diligent as you study) you could likely be an HSK 5. I honestly believe that 😊

@@learnpromandarin Awwwww that would be awesome, thank you for the extra motivation! I will try. Hope to have more of your videos soon 🥳

Awesome 😎 thank you 😊 I appreciate the compliment.

都是对的。其实你想说什么都可以。没有什么对或者不对的。😉 你的第三个答案真搞笑😂

不客气 😉 谢谢你🙏

Nada 😉 他想检查地下电线。但是那个皮卡停在电缆井盖儿上面。所以他打不开。他希望找那辆车的拥有者，所以他们可以把车开到其他位置。 He’s trying to inspect the underground power lines under the truck. So he’s trying to find out who owns the vehicle to get it moved. 😊👍🏻

Thank you. I really appreciate that. I’m glad that you found that it helped. 😊🙏

If you don’t mind me, asking, what other methods have you used to study Chinese?

@romandarin I am in Chinese 1 in community college using Integrated Chinese text and just getting to Chapter 2. So thats slow. On my own, I have mastered the first 150 words HSK plus more and watched a ton of videos by all of them. My weak area is speaking and listening right now, so your lessons are a God send. Your approach is great becasue it is visual, presents a very usable set of patterns and provides context. Plus I can use all that vocabulary I memorized. I also add every word in your lessons to my "essential" vocab list . I am a native english speaker but have German, Russian, Japanese, Indonesian,....Thanks again for the great job. Will cram on your stuff during spring break. PS, I am close to 70 yrs old.

That is amazing. I really think that’s cool that you’ve spent the time to learn so many languages. And that you find my content helpful. Honestly, I think each language has some amazing attributes and unique ways of describing or thinking about life. It’s almost like each language is a different form of art. All of them have their difficulties to learn them, but all of them have some interesting perspectives as well. Thanks again for your compliments. I really appreciate them.

@@learnpromandarin Thank you. I had the good fortune to learn Japanese 50 years ago from a scholar who left DLI and set up a different system with native language teachers and no mercy. Same for German taught by a wonderful East German lady. I learned Russian pretty much on my ownbut I was working in a Russian speaking country and had translator next door who swapped Russian for English instruction. Immersion is hands on the best if you can get it. I am really looking forward to digging with your lessons starting with Spring Break..

第一道第三道题多了一个“吗”。该把“吗”去掉就可以了。为什么呢？因为你说“谁” 已经是个问句。 你是在说“who”.但是如果你要用“吗” 的话，问题就改成了“did you”或者“did he/she”之类的。 除了那意外，都是对的。真不错 👍🏻 希望这个对你有帮助。 🙏😊

@@learnpromandarin Thanks. I should have seen that excessive 吗.

没关系。谢谢你的答案。

Nice 👍🏻 thank you

除了第一道题的“他”都是对的。应该要写“她”，但是声音是一样的。真不错。请问，你是哪国人？

@@learnpromandarin 那个地方我其实有点不小心，所以把“她”写错了。谢谢你提醒我。我是越南人。

其实我经常不相信写错词。无论是中文或者英文。都一样🤦‍♂️😉 不知道你有没有看过这个中国华侨教中文。她好像住在越南。她说中文的发音很标准。非常清楚。我有的时候也会看她的视频。虽然讲的有点儿慢，我喜欢她讲的内容。 希望你也会喜欢 😊🤞🏻 ua-cam.com/video/RciFcmUBHbI/v-deo.htmlsi=ac8jusAazHJL7rGs

谢谢你愿意看我的视频 😊🙏

@@learnpromandarin 我以前看过她的视频很多次。但这不是她真正的 UA-cam 频道。好像有些越南人把她的视频翻译成越南语。我不知道他们是否得到了她的许可。这是她官方频道的链接。youtube.com/@DANLIAOFreeToLearnChinese?si=OYbEpATFOPxsm7RX

那太好了！希望我所有的课程都有帮助。 😁 我最近真的很忙。恐怕我需要更多时间才能拍新的视频 🤦‍♂️😢 但是再过一段时间我肯定会。我就是不太确定什么时候能做。 😬

@@learnpromandarin 别担心，我会再看一遍所有其他视频来回顾。祝你工作顺利

😂👍🏻 yep

Thanks for the comment. I love it

La mayoría de las veces significa "poder". Pero si estamos hablando de cuánto tiempo lleva algo, también podemos utilizarlo para significar cuánto tiempo va a llevar algo. Normalmente no oigo 能 en este caso, sino 要 o 需要 en su lugar. Espero que tenga sentido 🤞🏻🙏 我的新工作是在一家天然气公司。我要成为高压电线项目经理。这一切对我来说都比较新鲜。我以前是个高压线路工。所以在这个方面我很了解。但是在项目经理方面，这些都比较陌生。

@@learnpromandarin 好的，谢谢。 我祝你在新工作中一切顺利，保重，因为我们都希望你能有更多的时间当老师☺️🙏🏻

可以说是有点多余的。但是说“现在我在学中文”，“我现在在学中文”，“我正在学中文”或者“我在学中文” 都可以。其实我觉得也应该有更多说法。但为了回答你的问题，你说的也可以。 😉👍🏻

@@learnpromandarin 好的好的，谢谢☺️

I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot to me. I love ProSpanish videos. He definitely inspired me to create my own channel 😊🙏
