I found HSK 1-3 to be pretty easy to get through (I am guesstimating my current level as hsk 3, working on hsk 4). I was arguably at hsk 3 after about two months of study. Two months later I still really am just at hsk 3, working on hsk 4. The point is that hsk 4, no doubt, takes SIGNIFICANTLY longer than the first three HSK levels.

English doesn’t make sense, pork? Beef? Lamb? Why not pig meat cow meat sheep meat… and when it comes to scientific or mathematical terms, English is just nonsense.. like triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon.. why not just 3 side shape, 4 side shape, 5 side shape….😂

Thank you so much!!! I'm really grateful for your contents, really made me understand how to study it most efficiently! Love youu Bianca.

I’ve never even heard of what a CV is 😅 thank you for all this very helpful information ❤ trying to apply for a neuroscience grad program in hopefully 2 years from now

Do you have hsk5 deck in anki . Could be share with us

Hey, does the vocabulary from each level overlap. I’ve seen that HSK (3.0) level 9 has 11092 words total - are those all new words or just a total of all previous levels

Useful. Thank you.

I have been studying mandarin for 3 months and I am using Duolingo, HelloChinese, ChineseSkill, and Du Chinese to practice. plus I have cue cards and lots of notes on words and HSK 1 vocabulary. I am currently studying for HSK 1 exam, should I buy the textbook and workbook to study?

how about other textbooks such as Boya, road to success?

Did you know we’re are the correction ?

How were you able to work full time at the lab during undergrad? I'm sure it must have been difficult balancing lab work, undergrad classes, and other undergrad commitments.

Summary: It depends.

Am I just blind, or? I can't find the PDFs mentioned at 4:10

I stumbled onto your youtube video and was so happy that I did. I love your deck. If possible, can you do tutorial on how to create a flashcard for mandarin (include pinyin and pronunciation). I'm also interested in making flashcard for cantonese (include yale phonetic and pronunciation). Thank you.

Wow what a help you are appreciate it. One of the best most helpful and informative vids ive ever seen

I love all the anime references btw.

你看像真美而聪明的，真的欣赏您的帮助。加油🥰

What printing services did you use? I want to print my transcript too 😢

Just a note, HSK 1 (the old version) has 150 characters, that's correct. But you build about 4-500 words with this characters. A learner need to know the words. Otherwise you can't read. OK, you CAN read a HSK 1 text perfectly, but you will not understand what you read. On top, I find it easier to work out words rather than individual characters. Flashcards are OK, but graded readers are really the best way. And if you do not have the audio to any book - have the text OCR by google lens, then put it online, like on an online notepad, and have browser read it to you. Edge has a Read Aloud function (and you can control the speed, and record it with Audacity or similar).

9:17 I originally tried doing the same too lol, I can use Pleco's flashcard feature to make like the same amount of cards in a few minutes that I could in like half an hour manually on Anki

App is not working from all of the phones at home... Nothing is working... Crying.

What is this video about?

I love this soooo much 谢谢你❤❤❤

I do mandarin blueprint and it's hands down the most effective and efficient method

Hey Bianca! I loved your Chinese learning content, will you be doing more of that in the future?

Your research sounds really interesting! Have you already published about the results you skimmed over here?

I just signed up for the Mandarin Blueprint. I will be doing an intense 6 months of acquisition at a minimum of 6 hours a day. I will break the sessions up an not just use the blueprint. I will use graded reading and immersion as much as possible too. I am thinking of filming my progress and seeing what is truly possible if you go almost full time study. I know my motivations and I will have to keep reminding myself of them, but I think its possible. Im not expecting fluency by any stretch, but I think I could take it quite far.

In the earlier stages, I find it more beneficial to use apps like Duolingo and Super Chinese rather than textbooks. This preference stems from the interactive nature of these apps, which offers a level of engagement that textbooks often lack. With language learning apps, you can receive feedback on your pronunciation, practice listening skills, and engage in compelling interactive drills. These features make your learning experience more productive and enjoyable compared to textbooks and traditional methods

high respects to your work, wow. And big thanks!

Really like your voice

nice video. Can I use a CV like this to apply to Columbia University for postgraduate studies? or is it a different thing.

Hi bianca! The video was amazing 🫶🏻 I'm a Master's student pursuing microbiology and want to pursue my PhD from an ivy league. Any suggestions please? I can't find any videos related to that. Most of the videos on the internet are by physics or astrophysics students

'PromoSM'

Thank you for this deck! I have a little issue though, the default setting is that it adds cards in the order of when they were added so now I only get all the „listening“ cards and not the others…

I loved your video. 😊🙌🏻♥️

Your Chinese is very good.

You are pretty and your Chinese is very good. Subscribed your channel.

非常感谢，这太棒了！

I was invited for an interview for a PhD neuro program (yay!!) Im wondering if you were asked any super oddball questions during the interview that took you off guard?? Also, any super technical questions about the stats of your research and method development? Im great at preparing thoughtful answers but worried I’ll draw a blank in the moment when I’m asked a random question! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Your video is really helpful, thank you.

As a video editor and a Mandarin learner, this was an amazing video full of useful information. I really love the way your videos are edited, even your recent ones are amazing. Learning Mandarin is also a great choice because this language is becoming more and more universal. Keep up the good work, 谢谢

Hey Bianca! I know this is a couple years old but I'm learning Chinese at university right now and this is a huge, huge help, 谢谢 ! :D

"and what not?" native English speakers don't use this expression.

The animations really take the edge off such a harrowing, intense, process explanation. This needs to be the standard for such explanations tbh.

thank you for all the helpful vids!

Do you still log in on that Instagram account (Bianca Learns)?

Congrats!

i’m applying next cycle so thank you for this 😭

love the anime references

This video does not only apply to phd and academia. This video contains good advice for life in general
