Thank you again Rita for your very informative and instructive podcast . My hat off to your guest who speaks perfect chinese. I Can tell how demanding and uncompromising in the learning process to reach such a a high level of language starting from scratch. It is very inspiring. Keep it up.
It was very inspiring to see your guest speak. I need to speak more. Also my listening isn’t bad but not as good as I wanted. I also feel the struggle of forgetting Chinese easily if not practised compared to English
Yes, speaking is the key! You can maybe notice that I do make some mistakes (word order and tones), but in 99 % cases people understand! Good luck with your studies! 加油！
@ I appreciate your comment. I hope my Chinese will improve. I would like to be fluent. I have been self studying for many years, put a lot of effort, but only during the last year I started having classes with a Chinese tutor. I also enrolled in the pronunciation course by Rita before and didn’t complete it but I need to pick it up again. Pronunciation is very important for Chinese. Recently I’m also trying an app for conversation that uses AI and while it doesn’t replace a real teacher, I see it can be useful for squeeze in some extra practice during my free time, also without being afraid of making mistakes and be judged by someone :)
@ well I don’t know as many words as you do, so I was listening carefully trying to understand but I didn’t spot your mistakes :) you sound pretty fluent, well done
@@fabiothebest89lu As I mention in the video - I also went just through half of the course myself - the game changer was the bootcamp. And now I return to the videos every now and then, when I feel like brushing up on something.
Haha, when I attended the chinese course at ChuanDa, the pronounciation teacher couldnt properly speak standard mandarin. It was very frustrating, and soon I skipped that class. Now a hundred years later, I am about to restart my chinese studies. Wish me good luck!
@@cinstinasrenatou I should add that the pronounciation class was at 8:oo in the morning, which didn't mix well with the SuShe lifestyle... At the time the biggest scare was to lose the chinese/english/chinese dictionary or travel booklet..... although it was difficult(very) to use, it did contain some sentences and examples. The dictionaries you could find in Chengdu was to little or no help. As a near beginner, even if you looked up every single character in an unknown sentence, most of the time you wouldn't be able to even know the subject of a paragraph. and only in jinjiang hotel could you find an english paper and english map. and withdraw chinese money. Taking a bike ride over to jinjiang, was the almost daily "joy of the day". And very sweaty it was. Next to JinJiangHotel there even was a Dinos hamburger🙂. But my favourite food was most definitely GuoKuiNiuRou at GongHeLu . One day I will go back to search for it... but I have been told there was only 2 restaurants ever serving it and there is a 999% chance they are long gone. I will forever miss GuokuiNiuRou Next step in my new learning adventure is to find a way to install a chinese keyboard on this computer. One that doesn't mess with the normal keyboard.
For me it was a LOT of input (books, textbooks, listening to natives) and then just SPEAKING. If you don't have Chinese friends, you can talk at least to yourself! But you have really say it, not just in your head. 加油！
@@RitaChinese probably it’s link,I usually like public speaking competitions,I have passion in it but most importantly the way it humblymakes me want to sound standard gets me moving harder and following all advice I receive without pride
I’m sure for her profession as a teacher in Czechia it’s plenty fine but her Mandarin isn’t great. Accent issue is minor and almost entirely tonal, which is fine, but the word choice is still quite awkward - in fact I would say in many places simply incorrect.

@ Thanks a lot ☺❤ I know I did make some mistakes - but maybe there are some I'm not aware of. Honestly my Chinese is not as good as it was some 2-3 years ago... And that's why I started taking classes again ☺ And I have to say I was quite nervous when talking to Rita, knowing so many people will see it 🤭
Thank you so much for having me and creating such amazing content😊 ❤
Thank you for sharing so many interesting stories and experiences with us, 小米!!
小米加油!
Thanks for the video and thank you again for sticking with the no background music! Great job Rita!

Although I'm a beginner, i can tell that her pronunciation is very good.
I am a beginner but can you create a group for us?

Renata was a diligent student who always worked her hardest (although I was hardly there as a terrible student 😽).
Hahaha thanks 🥹 But I almost never felt I worked the hardest I could... 🫣

Yeah, that's a big issue in Sichuan! Haha, but I'm glad I'm also used to not standard mandarin :))

Brilliant
其实我觉得不管你学什么事都要打好基础才能进步下去。所以对我来说第一个中文学习者需要掌握的是发音。虽然一开始你觉得很难但是坚持了一段时间就能够接收到正面的反馈，从而自信地去提高你的水平！😉
嗯嗯，说得对，我同意！
I really emulate this fluency but don’t know how to come to it’s standard
Join my Finding Your Mandarin Voice course and boot camp is one way to achieve😄
@@RitaChinese do you still do 1-on-1 intensive coaching training?

@@cinstinasrenatou yeah there’s wisdom in speaking to oneself though I thought it’s weird,lemme start on it this week

Thanks a lot for your comment 😊 I would appreciate if you could point out the mistakes so I can do better next time ❤
@@cinstinasrenatou I’m sure they can’t point them out. I personally felt quite envious of how fluent and natural you sound. Thanks for sharing.

可見中文漢字是世界上最優秀語文！世界中公認最難的語文？也說明中國人是很聰明！也表示了其他所有的語文！都簡單宜學了？西方人常常會說挑戰難問難題的種種事物嗎？
