You can learn how to build and expand your Chinese vocabulary from how to create opportunities to learn more new words to how to memorize these new words effectively by watching this video. I talked about several methods and tips (Many of them base on cognitive psychology, some of them are my personal experiences that have helped me a lot) for you to acquire new vocab more easily.

I noticed your books in the background, do you recommend any learning books?
I love when you say focabulary.
You are so beautiful 👋
poor Emma
her ONLY means of recreation was shopping!
hence: poor!
Upon reaching intermediate-advanced level (about HSK 6 under the ~2017 syllabus), studying classical poetry can be very useful for building fundamental language vocabulary that focuses on the meaning of individual characters rather than groups of words. Take it slow and study one short poem a month, study each thoroughly, understand the meaning of each and every word and line, and memorise them.
very useful! could you share some sites?
1. Memorize general meaning of characters
2. Finding pattern or rules of Chinese words. Since sometimes two character words can have similar meaning with each words
3. Imagining yourself using the words. Don’t write Han Yu = mandarin, but write the example using han yu. E.g. wo Yao xue xi hanyu. entire yourself effectively in this language
Thanks! I am trying to learn Chinese traditional and it is so hard to find a Taiwanese speaker/teacher Great vid
John Stevenson Haha I’m glad you found me!
Study mandarin. Then you can study dialects of Chinese
i am a cantonese speaker, i know chinese traditional.
I don't even know a Chinese speaker in my city or internet
@@erturtemirbaev5207 yea right thats what i did
I love that you added a musical intro
Matthew Muirhead Haha I think it’s the time to make a new intro :D Glad you like it!
for anyone reading, I used a calligraphy book to repeat and practice words, I learned well but I'd spend a lot of time for only a few words. Then I got pleco and used their flashcard system. Kinda worked, way more time efficient, manually moving words from the "new words deck" to the "old words deck" was hard to judge sometimes, new words would take a while to pick up because I'd have 30 or so words on the "new word deck". Moved to ankidroid(you can integrate it with pleco), spaced repetition is simply real life magic. In a day I had to rush a ton of vocabulary I was able to learn 80 words in a single(long) day. Most days I learn 40 new words(on vacation rn) a day without pain.
I feel like it's so hard to find good Taiwanese show to watch when you're not into dramas
EXCELLENT TIPS, GREAT VIDEO!!! keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much for your videos, Grace! I started to learn Chinese a few months ago from an app. Although the app is wonderful (like playing a game, so you don't even realize you are learning), there were idiosyncrasies with pronunciation (like bu and yi changing tones before certain words) and also confusion with how I should pronounce "x" and "c". Your videos have definitely cleared up a lot of my confusion. Thanks so much for all you do!
Thank you for the suggestion of learning chinese. I am keep trying to learn chinese and your suggestion is help me so much❤️
I really love your videos.I am learning Both English and Chinese. Your videos give me effective ways to study these.
I think the last tip is the most helpful! Thanks!
Awesome advice !! Thank you
Great way 🤩Thanks 老师
I just started a basic course in Mandarin at Fu Da, and I will follow as many of your practical suggestions as I am able. Incidentally, your spoken English grammar, sentence structure, and pronunciation are all really excellent!
Thank you so much for this video. I learned so much and got a lot of ideas that I think are going to help me out a lot.
I thought I would help you too. On your notebook you wrote"wrap up" and then wrote about wrapping up to go outside. In America we wouldn't use that phrase that way. We would say: You should wrap up that sandwich before you put it in the fridge. You could alsosay: We should wrap up this meeting so everyone can get home before rush hour starts. Another sentence could be: She was wrapped up in a blanket in front of the fire reading for hours. For your sentence I would use the phrase "bundle up". If you don't bundle up before going out to play in the snow you could get sick. I hope you don't mind me giving you this information. There might be other areas where they use wrap up the way you do. I can only speak from my experience living in America.
6:00 LOL I've been locked in reading and watching and listening for months now and even before I finished this part of the video, I"ve got to say that even though I'm sure I picked up on all these ways words are put together (although I'm still trying to get all the most useful of these words committed to memory) it's weirdly exciting so see if the rules that I put together in my head are consistent to what Grace has put together for the video :)
Your voice is really clearly. Thank for your video.
So helpful, thank you!
哇, this was so incredibly helpful! I've been struggling with building vocab for a while now, but this has really helped a lot! 谢谢你
Some excellent pieces of advice! Thank you teacher!
You're welcome! 💕
Woah I never thought of that trick! 谢谢 😀
Perfect, i need this kind of video too.
👌🏻
Good to know! Recently I’m planning to make some more about learning strategies;)
Watching this in prep for my Mandarin GCSE in 2 years! I hope to pass with top marks, and continue to learn even after GCSE.
A good Chinese vocab app I use is called Pleco! I recommend it :)
This is a great video - people (myself included) tend to dive straight into learning a language without much thought on the method they should use, and thus learn inefficiently. You've clearly thought long and hard about what methodology to use and came up with some really useful tips as a result, so thank you for that!
TheTrunkMunky Thanks a lot for the feedback! I also took some time to find out that having the right learning methods really save time and enable us to learn effectively!
A thousand thanks Grace for sharing the tips , see u soon God nless
An excellent video and great tips. Writing new words down sounds simple, it is, I just need to do it :) Something else I have found I needed to overcome was the confidence to speak these news words in a sentence with someone. I’m going to make mistakes, potentially sounds a little silly and learning to embrace this takes a bit of confidence. 太感谢了 ☯️
John Compton Yes! I’m so on board with what you said! Even now when I speak English, I still make many mistakes. But because of learning from these mistakes, I can improve my English and have more confidence after overcoming those obstacles. 加油💪 不用客氣😄
I love thisss!!

You mentioned linguistics books. Could you do a book recommendation or review video on some of those? Or books about language learning?
This is pretty advanced, and only recommended if you can already read Chinese books:
现代汉语 黄伯荣，廖序东
www.amazon.com/%E7%8E%B0%E4%BB%A3%E6%B1%89%E8%AF%AD%C2%B7%E5%A2%9E%E8%AE%A2%E5%85%AD%E7%89%88-%EF%BC%88%E5%A5%97%E8%A3%85%E4%B8%8A%E4%B8%8B%E5%86%8C%EF%BC%89-%E9%BB%84%E4%BC%AF%E8%8D%A3%EF%BC%8C%E5%BB%96%E5%BA%8F%E4%B8%9C/dp/B072ZM1GG7
try reading krashen's theory about language acquisition if you are into language learning from linguistics perspective ;)
Search " Frank Palmer Semantics pdf" for a good infroduction.
好. 谢谢
Thank you, very helpful
You're english speaking is very good and your teaching of Chinese awesome
Been doing all this...I'm amazed at how like thought s are...😊😊
谢谢！ very helpful 💚
谢谢老师！
这个视频很有帮助。谢谢
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Thank you Grace!! I love your videos
Sappukei Thanks for your supporting! 💛
Your English handwriting is so good. Definitely a lot better than most Americans.
tip number 3 is really good
This is really helpful, thanks!
Charlie Barnes You’re welcome! :D
i got better at chinese ! thx you
I note a lot of words on paper too.
I note words, group of words, sentence parts or whole sentences in my notes, with a translation in my native language, or other, sometimes more than one language, sometimes with examples. Plus some annotations (Slang, litteral, dialect from country/region, outdated/old-fashioned...) I even draw a little pic from time to time.
I think to really remember a word, you need to forget it and reactivate it again, 1 to x times.
Another thing (wich is the same thing) is reoccurence, and you can increase this reoccurence rate by exposing yourself to more of the target language.
What I mean is that sometimes I will encounter a word in (for ex) a book/magazine, check it, then later I will hear it in a youtube video or encounter it again reading a comic book and then it will be : "ah, that word !"
And about comic books : I like them. But they're also great for learning new languages because they can show in picture the meaning of a word.
This is so effective. Subscribed. Very grateful Grace
JP Glad you like it and happy to have you here! ;)
came here from Hellotalk, keep up the good work. Subscribed!
Anthony松鼠 Thanks! Glad to have you here!
I think the most important advice is learning vocabulary by context since words are not used separately when speaking a language, I just find some audios with phrases using the vocabulary I want to learn, make flashcards in Anki with the character transcription and audio, that's it.
Angelo Thanks for sharing!
你教得很好。非常好的视频
Do you still cook now?
I build glossaries and group them by topics such as family, food, fruits, clothes, etc.
Thanks. Nice teaching.
Glad you like it!

One thing I find helpful when checking meanings of new words on dictionaries is not using bilingual dictionaries. Just as Grace said, you should not rely on your mother language
非常好
Thank u sooo much
You are very beautiful.
Fantastic way of teaching.
Love and respect

刚才发现了这个词, 很有道理😜
Nice 👏👏
Danke für die Hilfe ♥️
Lol auch ein deutscher hier
good job
Great video!
Kobe Stassen Thanks!
I tend to watch things like That Chapter...basically like horror, investigation, mystery type things. Does anyone know any Chinese person who does this with pinyin/ English subtitles? I’d learn Chinese in a week 😂
Big fan 😍😍❤️
I study in Yangzhou University.
I want to improve my Chinese skill.
Chinese is very very very easy to take if you live in china.
谢谢
Grace 👍
The last tip is soo smart. I love it!
HazzaH Glad you love it! :D
I liked your handwriting.
That last method is like the input method. Never relying on the second language but figuring out the function in the language you are learning.
@DarthShuaider Input is how you learn your first language by saying a sentence and being corrected by relatives and progressively learning new words.
I think i can speak a bit chinese, i know many chinese words and i can make them into sentences, my problem is to find someone , preferebly native speaker with whom i can practise my chinese. You are a good teacher thankyou very much, Gbu
Thank you! Im taking my first national exam in about 3 months and my chinese grades havent really been the best, ill follow ur methods and see if it works out for me and ill probably come back here during my revision period right before the exam and update my progress.
Hi, do you have an update? Good luck for the exam
加油↖(^ω^)↗
nice video
The last tip you gave is genius, I actually didn't realise but I kinda passively using it all the time, because I have so many words that I know in my second and third language, that I can't remember in my native one just because I'm using them all the time and learned them by context.
@DarthShuaider to learn words by context not by definition it's a kindq double edgrd sword though because when you learn the meaning of a word with no equivalent in your language you start using it everyday when you try to convey it's meaning and people who don't speak that language wouldn't understand you and you need to explain yourself 😅
Very helpful xie’ xie
我學習漢語與韓語。我使用Anki。 今天我知道1700個漢字和3200個韓語詞語。My Chinese grammar is terrible because I'm not learning any right now (I'm focusing on Korean) but I can already understand basic sentences
不想学中文但是还继续看视频因为喜欢你。加油美女 :))))))) From Vietnam with love
Nguyễn Xuân Hưng 謝謝你這麼支持我！🥰 我會加油的💪（谢谢你这么支持我！🥰 我会加油的💪）
hi grace! can you recommend me some programs or channels in bilibili i believe that it is a good way to engage with the chinese language
I love this Language, Hanzii so Beautiful 😁😁 Hope Can speak with this language and also Take HSK.., I learn Korean too hehe
Hi! Thank you for you UA-cam videos. I 'm a self tough student ,I'm 61 and I still have the HSK-1 certificate. Watching your video "How to increase your vocabulary" I don't understand how can I prepare step by step my notebook. If I understand well, I can write the new character without English or Italian translation,and write some short phrases with it....it's true? Thank you. Giuseppe (Italy)
I have not been able to pronounce the r
我欢喜你的教学，谢谢你
Please make a video on Chinese writing system
Just a tip, grace sounds more natural in the neutral, or 1st tone.
Thanks
❤
我愛你
I recently started learning Chinese and I’m glad that I actually know what you wrote!!
@@yamamma9224 very good
So Raina where you from?
@absolutetrash واقعا بلدی فارسی چطوری؟😶😶😶
such a good teacher! Xie xie Laoshi
Do you use any SRS flashcard apps?
If - yes, what's your favorite?
I use Ankidroid for a good amount of years. It's a bit geeky and not too overly user friendly, however it is free and amazing (from my personal point of view). It enables you to memorize your stuff your way because it allow you to go quite deep into the app configuration.
Hey, good advice! Another advice I keep hearing is to watch Chinese movies - can you recommend some websites to get Chinese movies?
UA-cam, Netflix, Dramacool. I also have apps: WeTV, VikiRakuten, iQIYI, MGTV
pretty nice! I love languages. Let's study Mandarin!
Gerailton Carvalho.S. Thanks! I like your positive energy :D
加油啊
Hi grace I love you so much
can you add arabic subtitle because I don't understand english
❤
How many words do i need to know before watching something in chinese without being unable to follow?
Is there any Chinese professionals test in Taiwan like HSK ? Can I work as a doctor in Taiwan? I been looking for a Job in Taiwan and I hope you clarify me about it... By the way I am a Jay Chou fan and I have enjoyed your Chinese teaching a lot... I love Taiwanese Accent~ I mean it’s cute and fast ♥️♥️♥️
谢谢！我三年学习了中文在高中，可是我的中文不太好了
我爱你
you are very nice and you teach well and you are very beautiful
你好,Grace 在 4:40 我会说，(W)ritten,而不是 Written,W 省略号。👍
了解！謝謝指教！（了解！谢谢指教！）
another idea is to look up images for foreign words, rather than just translations
How to remember the tone? Do you have any tips?
Keep saying it
Are you pronounce in Simplified Chinese? Thank you and waiting for your response.
Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese are pronounced the same. The different part is about the accent and some pronunciation of characters in Taiwan (Where I am from) being different from China. (but generally speaking, it's not that many differences.)
Pronunciation is generally divided into Mandarin and Cantonese,
Written characters are divided into traditional and simplified. Mainland China uses simplified Chinese and speak Mandarin, Taiwan uses traditional Chinese and speak Mandarin(with a little different accent), HK and Macao use traditional Chinese and speak Cantonese, which is also many people's mother tongue in Guangdong province.

I'm learning Chinese and I learned that intelligent is 聪明. Is 智力 a synonym too?
No 可是智慧可以代表聪明
I have a problem of finding words to memorize. Should I randomly get words from dictionary and study them or should my vocabulary building be from a group of people or things I find interesting?
