Im with you. Though I am still undecided whether I should learn Chinese or Japanese. Either way, if I may speak for both of us, I expect we will only begin in 2020. It took me over 8 years to be absolutely fluent in German. I reckon it will be in my forties by the time I can speak Chinese - should I stick with it. But good luck to you and happy new year x
Many years ago, I used to be an Army linguist. I spoke German, Vietnamese, and Chinese Mandarin. I haven't read, written, listened, or spoken it for almost 40 years. This last year, I underwent open-heart surgery to replace a bad valve, fix an aneurysm, and implant a pace maker. The pace-maker surgeon has a Chinese surname. Apparently, under anesthesia I started conversing with him in Mandarin. He, and the nursing staff had a good time over that and he told me about it in recovery. He claimed I spoke it better than he, and at his next family get together, he was going to bring me along. I didn't think I still remembered enough to not make a fool out of myself. So, while I'm home-bound and recovering, I thought I might see about brushing up on it.
when you were in the army, were you a linguist because you were naturally talented at learning languages, or did you study extensively and just eventually learn many languages? like, was it extremely hard for you to learn those languages, or do you have a strength for learning languages and that helped you in your job? i really like learning languages but i’m not super great at it, and i might want to get a job like that one day, though probably not in the military.
@@orlywolf2885 I was always a Math & Science guy. I struggled with English and all of its exceptions. I need hard rules. In Vietnam, I picked up some words and phrases out of survival and convenience, very similar to traveling through the US and ordering a soda or coffee. (Coke vs soda pop vs soda vs soft drink) In Germany, the Army had an introductory course for GI's. It helped us to fit in with basic greetings, counting, currency, transit schedules, etc. I figured I picked it up so easily due to my immigrant grandparents. While they wouldn't teach us German, as a kid I just picked some up and retained it until I was there. Mandarin Chinese was my first and only formal language training. I had the option of other languages but chose Chinese due to its rules and structure. It's almost like Math! It's monosyllabic and builds from there. That is why the "tones" are so important. Even their counting makes so much more sense than the western world. If you understand math and advance math, you should do well with Chinese or Korean. Oh, I did recruiting for the Defense Language Institute for a while. We had a very high success rate with kids with some musical background. I believe it was the "patterns" and picking that up. One of the tests I had to pass to go to language school was learning Morse code, Good luck and have fun with it!
It's awesome how, even in a complete beginner lesson, you go a bit into the literal meanings of characters and not just stick to set phrases and tell us to learn them by heart. Thank you :)
I am a school bus driver and using this with some of the younger kids, you should see the smiles I get. Amazing how these younger kids can grasp two languages with such ease. I do not let anyone tell me these kids are not smart. Thank you.

I agree with you, The BOSses, and she is very pleasant at that, she reminded me a little bit of Hanguk Onnie who teaches Korean! They both have a very pleasant personality!
My friend is trying to teach me Chinese and she keeps laughing at how bad my pronunciation is... hopefully this will help. I'm just going to pretend I improved by myself
@aucrax Good for u cuz you start 4 months ago 🥹actually today is my first day learning chines language and I've never seen a Chinese film or series But all what I can say I think it's easy to learn but the Only problem that l'm gonna face is learning how to write In chines I think i't very difficult to me cuz I haven't seen It's letters befor so can u please help me to find a website or any thing to learn Chinese letters! 😭😭
I took Mandarin for 2 years in High school and got pretty good at it. I got a A in both years of taking it and had all the Basics down of basic conversation. We were allowed to talk all we wanted in the class even if it was not class related as long as we spoke Chinese. The teacher would even correct us in our separate conversation. Loved it. But it’s been a long time and lost it all 😞 😢
Yes, they say use it or lose it... I learnt Greek on a teach yourself course of two cd discs and a course book . Then I live here for 20 years 😜,, unfortunately I am not fluent yet lol.... I'd say am the middle level not a beginner. .but it's not easy. I was pretty damn good at french in middle school , alot of my class work was given Trei- bien comments from the teacher. Very good. And I have been shopping at my local Chinese shop in my area and becoming very friendly with the staff ..so I am gonna make some effort and try learn some Chinese. Let's hope xx
I’ve been watching Chinese dramas and I speak English of course so I always have to use the subtitles. I’ve been hearing this beautiful language that I don’t know how to speak so my goal is to better understand the language so I can learn to recognize the words in the dramas without having to completely rely on the subtitles and simply because I want to learn different languages and cultures.
Me too. Interesting that after hearing a lot of the Chinese I am picking now on the meaning and able to understand. But I would like to learn writing too.
How are you doing so far ? With the language ? It’s been 4months since you posted this , any progress ? I kind of just started , now I want to know if I’m on the right track wit this channel , lol. Your recommendations are highly appreciated too though .
As a person who has Chinese roots I really wanted to learn the language because it sounds so beautiful and I wanted something fun to do and your courses really helped! Thanks!
Same! I used to know basic Spanish and French, but almost a decade of not using it has taken it's toll. I did mean to eventually review them but I think I'll peep some Chinese first.
Same, I started learning Spanish few years ago, and lately I was about to get back to it but Chines was always in mind too, so I'll see if I can catch up with both
Thank you for this! I'm a teacher but had over the years kids from China or those who spoke only mandarin chinese that would come to class. I wanted to learn so I could be a better teacher and helping the children feel more welcomed in class.
I just found this channel!!! Watching and listening to Zhou Shen inspired me to learn his language. So I'm attempting to learn a little bit and see how it goes.
great lesson easy to understand, the only thing I would like to suggest is that put the English translation at under the Chinese word by word, no need to do a correct English grammar. It helps to understand the Chinese structure.
Thanks for the suggestion. We did do word-by-word translation for every single sentence in the lessons, and a liberal English translation that makes sense. Sometimes without the liberal translation it just doesn't make sense and might even be hard to understand what situations are appropriate to use the sentence. So liberal translation is a must. Word-by-word helps with understanding sentence structures and grammar, but liberal English translation helps us understand how to appropriately use these sentences.
I am a native Chinese speaker who studying English now,I got 6 points in the ielts test so I can do basic communication fluently.I want to find a native English speaker who want to study Chinese and we can help each other.
Hi, I am Korean and I I study Chinese living in Toronto, Canada. I tried to help my son to learn Chinese so that he can introduce himself in Chinese. We are making some videos but not easy. Thanks for your great videos. 😀
Thank you so much for this! I’m Korean, and I’m fluent with English, Japenese, and Spanish. I’m trying to learn Chinese to get into the UN. It’s gonna be difficult but I’m gonna try my best!💗
I have decided to learn the Chinese language and your tutorial seems easy to learn and understand. I hope to practice this when I visit China for business one of these days. Thanks for the tutorial.
I’ve wanted to learn Chinese for a long time,Luckily I finally have the chance after Covid-19!Thanks for the help of this video it was very inspirinational.
Hello Lili. I want to thank you for your great lessons. I have been learning Chinese for about three years. I study many courses on websites, apps and books. I even take classes on the weekend. The problem is my speaking skills and comprehension are not good. Your website came as a gift from God. The lessons are clear and concise and I can understand what you are saying and read the characters. I was surprised to find out that I have registered with your website some time ago didn't follow up with the lessons. I have subscribed and plan to use the channel more and more. Better late than never. Thank Hao Li. You are as beautiful as Halle. :-) But all flattery aside, your channel had renewed my hopes to learn Chinese. Xie xie.
Thanks John I'm glad that you've been keeping learning Chinese for 3 years and find our courses helpful. And It's good to know that you're already registered on our website. On this channel we will always upload sample lessons of our new courses, and if you want to check out all our content, you're welcome to unlock them on our website! chinesefor.us Wish you the best of luck learning Chinese!
I studied Chinese for 6 months 10 years ago. Recently I just want to learn it again. Then I saw your videos on UA-cam. But what are the benefits of being premium membership on your website? I love your course and it is very useful to me. Thank you so much?
I am a Chinese native. I’m learning English, I know it is hard to learn a language so I’d like to help people who are learning Chinese. And if it is possible, we can teach each other. I can communicate in English
I'm Australian and we have a substantial Chinese population and with Mandarin rivalling English for most dominant world language I feel a duty to try learning it but at 38 years old it's a daunting task as I'm aware Chinese is a lot about intonation not just the words themselves. Ill probably have to rewatch these a lot to get any of it to stick. You also need other Chinese people to talk with to practice what you learn so you don't forget ofcourse and I don't know anyone Chinese but I appreciate your video keeping it simple never the less, xie xie :)
Hello!I am from China and I am a college student. I really want to improve my spoken English so would you mind let me teach you Chinese and learn English from you?
I'm 38 years old as well, and agree it's a bit daunting but exciting and important. I'm finding the ability to read sheet music helps me visualize intonations better if I think of the words as moving up and down the scale as I'm talking.
when i try to pronounce the Chinese words in the video, I end up laughing at myself 😂. Sorry guys, I am trying to learn this language for the first time 😅
both of my parents immigrated from the Philippines to the US before i was born. the city i live in has a large filipino community so i was still connected to my filipino roots growing up. however when i turned 18 (i’m 19 now) i found out that both my parents are part Chinese. my mom never mentioned it bc she didn’t grow up with much of the culture (she was raised by her grandmother). and my dad didn’t mention it bc he’s sinophobic but that’s another story. now that i’ve learned more abt my identity i’ve been trying to connect w my Chinese heritage. there were some Chinese holidays that we celebrated like Lunar New Year & the mid autumn festival/moon cake festival but many countries in Asia celebrate both of those and more without having Chinese ancestry. i’ve always wondered why i looked the way i do .. most of my filipino friends are brown or tan while i am pale. my facial features are also different than theirs. knowing where my family comes from helped me feel like i learned a part of me that was missing. i am not sure where in China my family is from. most of my parents family have passed now. they had my siblings and i later compared to most people so i don’t rlly have many ppl to ask. i hope to learn a lot more abt Chinese culture & the languages/dialects. thank you for these videos!!! :D
每当我学习英语很难受的时候，我就会打开中文学习的评论区，不是因为别的就是看到你们学习中午我感觉很有意思哈哈哈哈。Whenever I feel bad about learning English, I will open the comment area of Chinese learning, not because of anything else, but I feel very interesting to see you studying at noon hahahaha.
My first international language was english, second one was korean and now i want to speak Chinese as well.. Well done my brain u doing just fine that's why u getting hotter these day like it's going to explode somehow 😂
Thank you, this was very helpful. I need to ask my oldest great aunt what my Chinese name is, but I have been trying to convince my grandmother to let me go with her on their next visit to China. I need to learn to speak Mandarin fluently because it is common, and my relatives speak a different dialect.
I am learning chinese by myself and eventough i knew all the key phrases in this lesson, i still think it was interesting especially the parts when you explain things thoroughly. Oh yeah, I didn't know Bruce Lee's Chinese name was Li XiaoLong.
Recently took a course for learning Chinese and almost everyone in the class is Chinese and could speak the language. So the teaching methods of that course was so fast that I I couldn’t keep up. This video is so helpful if your learning a new language since it’s more elaborate and it helps with pronunciation better. What kind of Chinese course I got into? I have no fucking clue. This would be helpful for sure.
I really love your video. It really help me who really want to learn mandarin. Wishing that i can fluently talking to that aunty who sell vegetables near our house. She is so kind.

Best Chinese lesson on UA-cam you should start an international Chinese school.
唐乐天 can we learn from eachother? I have no experience in speaking chinese though.
I agree with you, The BOSses, and she is very pleasant at that, she reminded me a little bit of Hanguk Onnie who teaches Korean! They both have a very pleasant personality!
Im only here because I accidentally switched my phone to mandarin... and i dont know how to change it back😂
What phone do you have?
Maybe I would be able to help

Glad it was helpful!
My friend is trying to teach me Chinese and she keeps laughing at how bad my pronunciation is... hopefully this will help. I'm just going to pretend I improved by myself
That's quite normal.Many Chinese have accents.Never mind. :)

I suggest everyone who wants to learn Chinese needs to watch her videos!!!
Thanks for the support!
This is the best lesson for any language I’ve seen on UA-cam!
I took Mandarin for 2 years in High school and got pretty good at it. I got a A in both years of taking it and had all the Basics down of basic conversation. We were allowed to talk all we wanted in the class even if it was not class related as long as we spoke Chinese. The teacher would even correct us in our separate conversation. Loved it. But it’s been a long time and lost it all 😞 😢
Yes, they say use it or lose it... I learnt Greek on a teach yourself course of two cd discs and a course book . Then I live here for 20 years 😜,, unfortunately I am not fluent yet lol.... I'd say am the middle level not a beginner. .but it's not easy.
I was pretty damn good at french in middle school , alot of my class work was given Trei- bien comments from the teacher. Very good.
And I have been shopping at my local Chinese shop in my area and becoming very friendly with the staff ..so I am gonna make some effort and try learn some Chinese. Let's hope xx
I want to learn mandarin so my grandma can't diss me secretly anymore
haha :D
what's your native language tho?
Kit Rimes it seems to be English
Kit Rimes well obviously her native language isn’t Mandarin, since she wants to learn it.

Who is here after watching Chinese dramas 😅
👇
Me
Me hahah
I m here after watching chaines drama 🤗🤗🤗😁😁😁😂
Me 😂
Meeeeee thanks to them I know some Chinese 😂😂
I’ve been watching Chinese dramas and I speak English of course so I always have to use the subtitles. I’ve been hearing this beautiful language that I don’t know how to speak so my goal is to better understand the language so I can learn to recognize the words in the dramas without having to completely rely on the subtitles and simply because I want to learn different languages and cultures.
Me too. Interesting that after hearing a lot of the Chinese I am picking now on the meaning and able to understand. But I would like to learn writing too.
Learning Chinese is one of my biggest aim cause I love the language and I just started this month. But the pronunciation is something else .
How are you doing so far ? With the language ? It’s been 4months since you posted this , any progress ? I kind of just started , now I want to know if I’m on the right track wit this channel , lol. Your recommendations are highly appreciated too though .
I'm a new learner about mandarin
And I find it interesting
I love Chinese people they
Are very hard working.
Thanks for watching!
I am extremely astounded that so many people are learning our language!
As a person who has Chinese roots I really wanted to learn the language because it sounds so beautiful and I wanted something fun to do and your courses really helped! Thanks!
I was going to learn more Spanish, but I have a feeling I'm going to need this for... the road ahead.
Same! I used to know basic Spanish and French, but almost a decade of not using it has taken it's toll. I did mean to eventually review them but I think I'll peep some Chinese first.
@@Jelly-hq7ug please leans Spanish first. It’s the second most used language and spoken literally everywhere I’m Mexican
Same, I started learning Spanish few years ago, and lately I was about to get back to it but Chines was always in mind too, so I'll see if I can catch up with both
I'm really interested in the Chinese language.. Thanks for this lesson
No problem!
Thank you for this!
I'm a teacher but had over the years kids from China or those who spoke only mandarin chinese that would come to class.
I wanted to learn so I could be a better teacher and helping the children feel more welcomed in class.
My Daughter and I are fascinated by Mandarin and we look forward to Learning gradually and accurately...
I love China and their culture a lot❤️
Love all the way from India❤️
I just found this channel!!! Watching and listening to Zhou Shen inspired me to learn his language. So I'm attempting to learn a little bit and see how it goes.
Zhou Shen is a fantastic singer :)
I'm picking up Mandarin again and so glad I didn't skip the first lesson. Still learnt a couple of new things!
After having tried to learn French and Spanish, I find the Chinese language actually easier to learn.
great lesson easy to understand, the only thing I would like to suggest is that put the English translation at under the Chinese word by word, no need to do a correct English grammar. It helps to understand the Chinese structure.
Thanks for the suggestion. We did do word-by-word translation for every single sentence in the lessons, and a liberal English translation that makes sense. Sometimes without the liberal translation it just doesn't make sense and might even be hard to understand what situations are appropriate to use the sentence. So liberal translation is a must. Word-by-word helps with understanding sentence structures and grammar, but liberal English translation helps us understand how to appropriately use these sentences.
I am a native Chinese speaker who studying English now,I got 6 points in the ielts test so I can do basic communication fluently.I want to find a native English speaker who want to study Chinese and we can help each other.

Hi, I am Korean and I I study Chinese living in Toronto, Canada. I tried to help my son to learn Chinese so that he can introduce himself in Chinese. We are making some videos but not easy. Thanks for your great videos. 😀
Thank you so much for this! I’m Korean, and I’m fluent with English, Japenese, and Spanish. I’m trying to learn Chinese to get into the UN. It’s gonna be difficult but I’m gonna try my best!💗
I wish you all the best in achieving your goal!
I have decided to learn the Chinese language and your tutorial seems easy to learn and understand. I hope to practice this when I visit China for business one of these days. Thanks for the tutorial.
I'm learning Chinese just to see c dramas without subtitle 😂😂.... hats off to me
Me too
same here.....
Your English are so good that makes it so easy to understand . Thank you !
I decide to learn English, we can learn with each other
I fell in love with Chinese dramas. I love Chinese. Need to learn it now.
I’ve wanted to learn Chinese for a long time,Luckily I finally have the chance after Covid-19!Thanks for the help of this video it was very inspirinational.
Hello Lili. I want to thank you for your great lessons. I have been learning Chinese for about three years. I study many courses on websites, apps and books. I even take classes on the weekend. The problem is my speaking skills and comprehension are not good. Your website came as a gift from God. The lessons are clear and concise and I can understand what you are saying and read the characters. I was surprised to find out that I have registered with your website some time ago didn't follow up with the lessons. I have subscribed and plan to use the channel more and more. Better late than never. Thank Hao Li. You are as beautiful as Halle. :-) But all flattery aside, your channel had renewed my hopes to learn Chinese. Xie xie.
Thanks John I'm glad that you've been keeping learning Chinese for 3 years and find our courses helpful.
And It's good to know that you're already registered on our website.

I studied Chinese for 6 months 10 years ago. Recently I just want to learn it again. Then I saw your videos on UA-cam. But what are the benefits of being premium membership on your website? I love your course and it is very useful to me. Thank you so much?

how long to really learn Chinese?
your teaching method is really good thanks

This quarantine am going to learn Chinese

Well done! Love your goal! Keep it up
Well did u learn it
How much did u know now?
vaziya CK vaziya hi can you teach me English?
The first Chinese language video that's not insanely hard, great job!
I'm Australian and we have a substantial Chinese population and with Mandarin rivalling English for most dominant world language I feel a duty to try learning it but at 38 years old it's a daunting task as I'm aware Chinese is a lot about intonation not just the words themselves. Ill probably have to rewatch these a lot to get any of it to stick. You also need other Chinese people to talk with to practice what you learn so you don't forget ofcourse and I don't know anyone Chinese but I appreciate your video keeping it simple never the less, xie xie :)
You cant just ask strangers to teach you. @@rodrigoneustadt6302
Hello!I am from China and I am a college student. I really want to improve my spoken English so would you mind let me teach you Chinese and learn English from you?
@@jasonsdaily6166 if you'd like, I'd be interested.
I'm 38 years old as well, and agree it's a bit daunting but exciting and important. I'm finding the ability to read sheet music helps me visualize intonations better if I think of the words as moving up and down the scale as I'm talking.
Thank you for being a good teacher.
when i try to pronounce the Chinese words in the video, I end up laughing at myself 😂. Sorry guys, I am trying to learn this language for the first time 😅
Me too.
Me too!
just dont laugh it urself. you can say it well in like a few years
Same 😂😂
At least you're trying, I'm scared to even try to say anything without my roommates laughing at me.......and I'm 40 y/o. XD
I speak English and Japanese but I LOVE the way Mandarin sounds, its such a pretty language!
both of my parents immigrated from the Philippines to the US before i was born. the city i live in has a large filipino community so i was still connected to my filipino roots growing up. however when i turned 18 (i’m 19 now) i found out that both my parents are part Chinese. my mom never mentioned it bc she didn’t grow up with much of the culture (she was raised by her grandmother). and my dad didn’t mention it bc he’s sinophobic but that’s another story. now that i’ve learned more abt my identity i’ve been trying to connect w my Chinese heritage. there were some Chinese holidays that we celebrated like Lunar New Year & the mid autumn festival/moon cake festival but many countries in Asia celebrate both of those and more without having Chinese ancestry. i’ve always wondered why i looked the way i do .. most of my filipino friends are brown or tan while i am pale. my facial features are also different than theirs. knowing where my family comes from helped me feel like i learned a part of me that was missing. i am not sure where in China my family is from. most of my parents family have passed now. they had my siblings and i later compared to most people so i don’t rlly have many ppl to ask. i hope to learn a lot more abt Chinese culture & the languages/dialects. thank you for these videos!!! :D
I think this teacher is easy to learning . Thank you Teacher 🙏
每当我学习英语很难受的时候，我就会打开中文学习的评论区，不是因为别的就是看到你们学习中午我感觉很有意思哈哈哈哈。Whenever I feel bad about learning English, I will open the comment area of Chinese learning, not because of anything else, but I feel very interesting to see you studying at noon hahahaha.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching! 😄

Thank you, this was very helpful. I need to ask my oldest great aunt what my Chinese name is, but I have been trying to convince my grandmother to let me go with her on their next visit to China. I need to learn to speak Mandarin fluently because it is common, and my relatives speak a different dialect.
Is any indian here who loves Chinese language??? I think its only me;)

Going to take Mandarin next semester and I have a feeling I'm going to be returning to these videos a lot in tears at the hw
Good luck with your classes! You got this!
I am learning chinese by myself and eventough i knew all the key phrases in this lesson, i still think it was interesting especially the parts when you explain things thoroughly. Oh yeah, I didn't know Bruce Lee's Chinese name was Li XiaoLong.
Recently took a course for learning Chinese and almost everyone in the class is Chinese and could speak the language. So the teaching methods of that course was so fast that I I couldn’t keep up. This video is so helpful if your learning a new language since it’s more elaborate and it helps with pronunciation better.
What kind of Chinese course I got into? I have no fucking clue. This would be helpful for sure.
Thank you! I had a great first experience of speaking chinese with this video! Thank you so much!
可以啊 慢慢说
I really love your video. It really help me who really want to learn mandarin. Wishing that i can fluently talking to that aunty who sell vegetables near our house. She is so kind.
