Love your content, my Chinese teacher was laughing her ass off to your tone tongue twisters!
Thank you! Haha, that’s awesome.

Yup, that's how it works. Just learn the logic behind it and then most common words and phrases. You'll be able to understand a lot just by understanding context.
That's exactly how my Spanish is; I have a good understanding of the grammar and even though my vocabulary is small I can still understand plenty
That's how im able to understand English because it's worldwide in the internet then

this is how i learned english

It took me two years of 15-60 minutes a day to learn rudimentary Japanese teaching myself. The fact I can read and write very basic sentences/stories is enough for me even if I never get any better.
you definitely will get better even if you learn a little at a time, its only when you stop that it gets worse.
Well I mean I know nothing 💀
@@expertgamingyou're right, especially with kanji... You'll never forget their meanin the real issue is how to pronounce them.
Believe me, Japanese is not Chinese. U can read Japanese if u know Chinese tho, but I find the Japanese way easier to learn than Chinese
@@reinedesdeesses4255 I can read and speak basic Japanese. I'll never be fluent because I started to late, but something is better than nothing
Why does he sound like he's being held hostage
One time my classmate came to Taiwan for vacation. I taught him to say "You are beautiful" in Chinese, but in fact I taught him "I love you".
So my mother was very happy during those days when he came, because every day he would tell her I love you.
So learn Chinese well and don't be fooled.
How do i start
Taiwan is a nice country 👍
Don't you mean China?

Chinese is definitely hard
As a chinese myself i sometimes even forgot how to write the word

know enough to work is a perfect representation of learning chinese
The fact that UA-cam knew I started taking Chinese and recommended your vids…
Ikr I had the same thing
Have you written Chinese in any UA-cam comments?
"learn your dang tones" is so accurate. I'll tell people how to say something in chinese, and they'll pronounce it right but butcher the tones!
Every language is like that, like a tool, you need to know enough for it to work
Same logic works with any language. The main thing is to be able to hold basic conversations and from there on you should be able to learn more from the conversations youll be having
Yeah but in other languages you cant become a celebrity as easily as with chinese. Look up”white monkey” thats what foreigners who come to china to make money from adverts etc are called.

not gonna lie the chinese people arent even different than us lol, they have social media and they have access to every western movie there is, usually they will watch it if there's chinese subtitles or chinese dubs
I 'm brazilian but I like chinese very much I and you're a great chinese teacher . Wo ai ni❤❤❤
I can't belive that i watched the three body problem and didn't recognize you! Well performed, great chinese!
Bruh the "oi vei"😂😂😂
I started learning Chinese in 2019, and I've already managed to reach 2nd language-level classes, so it's possible to advance quickly, but you need to put a lot of effort into it. (I took around 6 hours worth of lessons per week )
The perfect loop does not exi---
This dudes entire shorts channel is a perfect loop my god
I was born in Puerto Rico then move to United States at 9 and my mother married a Chinese man when I was 11 (and I’m very good at picking up languages) so I speak 100% fluent Spanish, 99% English and like 60% mandarin (also am conversational in French, Portuguese, and sign language but I don’t use those languages often)

Ur Chinese is better than me,I'm literally Chinese
I started learning Chinese really recently and I'm incredibly happy that I did. There isn't anything that I'm particularly working towards in China I just really like the language.
2 weeks its basically matching existing vocabulary
ANYTHING GOES EVEN- Chinese
As a native speaker of Chinese, learning Chinese is a total sore on the rent
Not so much when you eat dog and rice
I'm learning Chinese for years but I'm not consistent I'll learn it for a few months and then something will come up so I'll drop learning the language even now i was trying to learn it better than ever but this exam came up i finished college so i have to get prepared for this exam but once i get done I'll try to do good at Chinese thanks for the reminder ❤

I honestly started learning chinese because of my mother, she really seemed interest in the culture, even more in their medicine, she knows nothing about chinese though, she used to bought me children stories that were traditional in china, all in portuguese, the stories were nice, the artstyle really pretty. So I started learning after getting comfortable with the flow of learning new languages. I stayed because I enjoy every single moment and I met a friend that is chinese, and despite not talking to me much I really look up to him, I hope one day being able to have a full conversation in chinese with him :D
Hah. I new fluent Chinese since I was born.
I know Chinese but i sometimes forget how to right
Be me: *learned mandarin chinese for 6 years* I have no idea how to speak chinese
You are the best bro 💪congratulations 🥳 👌👍
Well I was bored so I started learning German, French and Italian at once
Bro after learning that he’s 0.2% chinese:
هذا يعني انني اذا اردت ان اتعلم الصينية في سنة واحدة احتاج لدراسة الصينية ٥ ساعات في اليوم
its kind of the same with arabic, because every word has root letters that it came from, so you must know how to say the present tense verb from the past, how to tell someone to do something using the root letters, how to make dual, plural from a word, etc.
Wait you’re Mike Evans from three body?? Holy crap how did I never notice??! You’re amazing \o/!!
as I always say, if you don’t know the word but can reasonably explain the concept in that language, that’s almost on the same level as knowing the word
Chinese so easy
i can speak it when i just less than 1 years old😂
Chinese is so ez to learn… bcuz I am chinese😂
heh, the only problem with chinese is, you still dont know the dialacs locals speak, i just came back from china but couldnt understand anyone in longyan
same lol😂❤ BTW I go to China at least once a year except lockdown so I kinda have to😂❤

After the “shi shi shi shi shi shi shi shi shi shi-“ clip, nah.
Idk if I'll ever get around to learning Mandarin, as I'm already in the middle of learning Japanese and getting my university degree, but it's definitely my next language to learn if I learn a 3rd. I'll already know a lot of the characters from Japanese so in theory reading wouldn't be as hard to learn as it would be from scratch.
I do Chinese in school and it’s so much easier than people say. The only real hard bit is the tones and sentence structure
I was Learning Chinese before but I retired and I'm learning now German, But with this Video I got the Motivation to keep Study Chinese,Thanks for the Video, New Sub btw!
Question number 3: how long will it take me to find a Chinese course that teaches in the Taishanese dialect
This guy was in a chips ad i think
Bro definitely played the role of a villian in all of them Chinese movies.
My Chinese has developed interestingly over time: bargaining for clothes at the market? Can do it in Chinese. Buying coffee: can do it in chinese. Buying beer? Can do it in Chinese! And that’s all 😂😂😂
You played Evans in Three body? Holy smoke.
Yep 😃
But learning Chinese for exams is literally you know or don’t lmao
A friend of mine, not too good at studies, is fluent in mandarin and cantonese after 3 yrs and works as a guide for chinese tourists.
I am still leanring High valyrian. Maybe later.

Wow dude found out how learning a language works. Truly shocking. Noone ever did that bevor.
Wish intrinsic telepathy was a thing so we could skip the learning part and just comunicate with anyone on the same page
If you master just one Chinese character per day, you would be able to master Chinese in just over 140 years!
It took me 18 years for me to learn Italian... Its my mother language, and i am still not fluent in it
Bro lowkey flexed 💀

OMG!! I just now realized you were Mike Evans in Three Body.
Thanks a lot for making video, just found this channel in couple weeks.. lets start 😊
OH MY GOD I DIDNT REALIZE YOU WERE MIKE EVANS 😭😭
My dads wife had to memorize 400 Korean words a day because of her final exams in Korea
Spending a year doing nothing but learning languages in a quaint cabin in the mountains on a laptop sounds like a pretty good year.
yes.
Yoo you were Evans in three Body? Great show great character
Thank you!
🎉
If you wanna learn Chinese train for another 300 years.

No way he thought it was about 1 minute a day💀
depends on you native language, if youre language root is far from chinese root, it might take longer or shorter than 1800 hours
I like how he isn’t trying to grift/sell a class. He is just teaching you Chinese and in turn asking for you to do the simple task of subbing.
i learnt chinese for my entire life and i still cannot do well in exams :/
Cool lether jacket
nah he just built different 💀
In my opinion, as a student from Canada and grew up in Hong Kong, if you can read and speak it, you're basically good to go. Writing won't be a problem for just conversations or survival since pretty much traditional Chinese is also based on pinyin. However, not growing up with Chinese will be super hella difficult as an adult.
Woah thank you now I feel like a failure
Saw ur account on douyin, nice content
How i got reincarnated in china and became a social icon''_"
As someone who was raised by a Chinese parent, you must practice 30 hours a day to achieve certain goal
I think this applies to a lot of languages too. Almost no one knows their entire native language, but they know enough to live their life. I’m a native English speaker and as you can see from this comment I can use it to convey plenty of ideas and get by but I don’t know every word in the English dictionary.
But once you figure out the general structure of the language and how things go, you can pretty easily learn new words for your purposes and apply them
Why did bro ask the same question twice
ive learned Mandarin since kindergarten n im not even close to fluent i dont even know the hanzi of most words except "wo, ni and bingqilin"
Love your video's!! Started learning Chinese 2 days ago. I love to be busy with this, it's really challenging and i like it ❤!
Loop refers to ADHD😂
And here I am with my three years and I suck.
Learning the most commonly used 2,000 words in any language is more than enough to get by.
I'm learning French and when I think of other languages I think of songs, is it possible to do slant rhymes if different tones mean completely different things?
On the first loop he said "Cool! Question number 2 is,". On the second he said "Cool! Question number 3 is,". Like how do you do that?
What a nice content!
Love your vids
I'm also learning Chinese currently, thanks for all your helpful videos❤
Thank you so much, and good for you! You made a smart choice by pursuing Chinese!
