1. **Challenge of Learning Chinese**: It acknowledges that learning Chinese is tough, leading many to give up. It stresses the importance of strategies to avoid this pitfall.
2. **Long-term Commitment**: Emphasizes that learning Chinese is a marathon, not a sprint, requiring years of consistent, dedicated effort to achieve fluency.
3. **Personalized Goals**: Advises learners to set realistic goals based on their lifestyle and available time, rather than comparing themselves with others.
4. **Importance of Habits**: Highlights that forming study habits is more effective than relying on willpower. Suggests setting aside a regular time and place for study, ideally daily, to build a strong learning routine.
5. **Study Techniques**: Discusses various techniques for effective learning:
- **Dedicated Study Time**: Even 15-30 minutes daily can be effective. Personalizing the structure of this time is recommended.
- **Passive Listening**: Utilizes passive listening in daily routines, like commuting, to increase exposure without impacting other commitments.
- **Study Methods**: Focuses on three study methods - using apps like Anki for spaced repetition and retrieval practice, conversation practice with feedback, and engaging with enjoyable, level-appropriate content for input.
6. **Vocabulary Learning**: Stresses learning vocabulary in context rather than isolation, using Anki for efficient memorization.
7. **Conversation Practice**: Encourages speaking with a variety of people in different settings to improve fluency and communication skills.
8. **Engaging with Content**: Recommends engaging with interesting content in Chinese, like books, articles, and TV shows, suitable for the learner’s level.

Post some 10-15 min vids of you speaking Chinese and talking about hot topics Will. I'd watch. It'd get your UA-cam engagement up too. No need for subs. People will watch without.
Thanks so much for the advice! What kind of hot topics would you recommend trying out? Do you have any ideas at all?
But wouldn't he have to write subtitles? Maybe he could rely on the automated subtitles...
@@paulwalther5237no need for subs. Can aim it at a different level of Chinese learner.
感谢您提供有用的视频
😂 hearing your English accent really shocked me, you’re an inspiration !!
😊 thank you
You’re my role model about learning Chinese even now I’m learning Chinese so hard many times I watch Chinese movies and this is boosting my Chinese skills everyday and I use many resources to study it .I believe that soon I’ll be fluent 谢谢你
不用谢，加油！
@@willhartmandarin 😍😍👌
Can we learn from each other? I'll teach you Chinese, you teach me English
@@limo-up6vr okay no problem I’m always available
Amazing thank you
No problem 😊
Hi will , long time no see, I wish you the best of luck for 2024, keep up the good work
Thanks so much! Wish you the best too!
Thank you
新年快乐
I have plenty of time to learn Chinese, I just don't have anyone to communicate with which have been said is key. Communicating with someone from time to time and learning in one's spare time is immersive and will strengthen one's learning. I gave up but I keep coming back and give up. I remember the meaning of quite a lot of hanzi characters at the beginning so I guess I'm trying once again cos I really, really want to learn.
I wish you all the best! Maybe you can try language exchange apps for finding a native to practice with?
@@willhartmandarin I’m going to look into that avenue. Thank you.☺️

Hello Will thank you for motivating to study mandarin. Can you share please with anki decs you use?
元旦快乐🎉🎉🎉🎉帅哥
Thank you very much I was thinking to learn Chinese this year because I like Chinese drama a lot can you make a list of resources that you use if you are learning any new language please let as know
谢谢你的建议
不用谢 ！
I find that nothing beats actual conversations for learning a language too. But it's stressful and embarrassing at least until you get well conversational. Which is probably why you remember things so much better after you've used or heard other people use it in a conversation. Everyone on UA-cam talks about immersion and how you can just learn from immersion. Everyone's experience is probably different but I've been immersing with Korean for several years but the progress is really slow. I haven't had very many conversations though. It's just embarrassing when you're bad (a beginner) and I keep wanting to skip this awkward phase through more immersion. I don't think it's going to work though. As for me however, I don't really need natives to give me feedback on what I do well or what I don't do well. At least in the beginning phases, I'm all too aware of my shortcomings. I notice all the mistakes. I think later as I get more comfortable and have lots of conversations under my belt that feedback from natives becomes more useful. I don't think I notice my mistakes nearly as much then. But if I'm not aiming really high I also might not care as long as people can understand 😅.
I totally agree, conversations was what got me fluent in chinese
>>> But if I'm not aiming really high I also might not care as long as people can understand
yeah i think the point of comprehensible input is that it enables you to follow a conversation without having to moderate your peer. You will not get good results by just following a text book because while you might be able to practice a sentence and say it well, the answer you get back is incomprehensible, and usually spoken at the speed of light. So comprehensible input is like practice for conversation, then you can pick up the speaking skills by parroting back various things you hear.
I'm Chinese native speaker. We can be language exchange partners if you want.
How long have you been learning Chinese? Oh it’s amazing. I love the way you speak, sound really nature.
Thanks! I've learnt mandarin for about 3 and half years now
Thanks for the film and the many tips. Do you have any podcast recommendations? I listen to 故事FM and 随机波动 but those are not always easy to comprehend.
Maybe have a look at some on this list www.alllanguageresources.com/learn-mandarin-podcasts/
Thank You Will. I'm starting to learn kinda simillar like You. First step gonna be with pinyin. What a great example here ✌️😇
You can do it! Best of luck!
@@willhartmandarin thank You uhh Will you're so so clever and great 😄 without Yours example in this path i definetly be somewhere lost
btw tbh You was my true guide here :d
I am a native mandarin speaker. I feel that there might be a way to streamline the way people learning chinese so to shorten the amount of time. For example, avoid to 'unlearn' the incorrect pronunciation by focusing study the correct pronunciation at the very beginning help goes a long way. Many spend more than 5 years but still speak rather poorly because of it. With aid of AI tools, people should be able to learn mandarin faster this day than 20 years ago.
Well you can blame bad native speakers for that one. They failed us. Resulting in that poor pronunciation
I speak pretty great Chinese, I've lived in Beijing and Taipei for about a decade and I've probably never heard a white person speak Chinese as naturally. What I actually appreciated here was the honesty. The methods are replicatable, but this guy is some sort of unicorn. I like that he says years of consistency, it would be easy for him to lie to sell.
Thanks so much for the comment and kind words! Yes it would really easy for me to say 'buy my really expensive course and you'll absolutely master chinese in a year' but the reality is most people can't invest enough time in a year for that to even be possible. I'd much rather be honest that it's gonna take a while and instead share the techniques that have helped me along the way.
@@willhartmandarin I actually just happened to reach your guest episode on Dashu Zhongwen. One of the issued I have is finding content that is for advanced learners but falls short of native level. I'm sure you've done the circuit, any podcast resources you know that hit a similar level to the aforementioned.
Most people don't lie about learning Manadarin because no one is under the illusion that it is remotely easy. Everyone knows it's one of the most difficult languages to learn. It really depends on the person how badly they want to learn. Also, his methods are no different to what a lot of other people are advising to learn Chinese (Mandarin).
Bro when you first started speaking english my brain didn’t register 😂
hahahaha
I want to be just like you when i grow up 😂
Been in China 6 years and still am not fluent. Thanks for the tips!
No worries! Let us know how you get on!
How many hours a day you usually study mandarin ? So iv been studying for 32 days for 4 hours everyday while working full time job....one of my biggest challenges so far is sentence structure or format in chinese...have you had that issue as well in the beginning? Like you know what you want to say and you attempt to say it but you're not saying the sentence in the right order....thats one challenge i have the other is the use of the word "zài" so like if i say i am at school i would use "zai" ans there's other times as well....is there a point where using this will become natural ? Also i feel like some days i seem to either retain more or less ....
I think that's totally normal since you've only been learning 32 days, it's going to take a lot of time. Even learning four hours a day, you're going to need at least a good few months before you can spontaneously form sentences. At the beginning 'retention' is really hard, but with time it becomes like similar to retaining things in English so keep going! If you want any more help or advice drop me an email!
@@willhartmandarin Hi will . What is your email ? Would love to communicate with someone who has been successful!
空耳侠甚至觉得后面的英式英语听起来也很像中文😅😅
真的吗 笑死了 哈哈哈
何威同学，你好棒呀，请传授一下小朋友学中文该怎么学ua-cam.com/video/6RbzGQ87h0Y/v-deo.html这是我家小朋友学中文朗读的视频，他需要怎么继续学呢，谢谢
哇，这位小朋友好厉害呀！我觉得最重要的是先培养他对中文的兴趣，让他多看自己喜欢的中文书 ，中文电视剧 等等。同时，也可以让他在家里的时候只跟你们说中文，这是一种沉浸式学习方式。
@@willhartmandarin 何威同学很开心看到你的回复！我们住在美国，他们在美国出生长大，没有去过中国，爸爸不讲中文，他们大部分时间在学校，所以讲英文多，会不会长大一些发音就越来越有口音了？如果有一天他们可以和你对话就好了😂，谢谢你的回复，我会让他读一读你对他的鼓励。ua-cam.com/video/rMYafYT61QI/v-deo.html 这是他的妹妹的中文水平
外国人的上帝🙌🙏🧎♂️
可不敢 啊哈哈哈
The thing is, I can understand your Chinese but not a native speaker's! 😂
hahaha Don't worry I'm sure it won't be long before you're understanding natives
