I'm on lock down for Corona Virus so I might as well learn a different language.
And I too
Doing the same here, Wo Yào Xuéxí Guanhuà Zhiqian zhè niándi (我要学习官话之前这年底)
@@SkullGamerFull guan hua ...that sounds great but is so wired tho,maybe you should say pu tong hua which means ordinary language
@@arnoldcheng9609 True, think the same, learned about yesterday that Mandarin is most commonly spelt this way, is just that in Brazil (where I live) lot of texts about Mandarin have it writen the way I commented. That's the nice thing about learning a language, as our studies go on we start noticing the commom mistakes around us that usually are the key to differenciating a fluent from a "college degree" level of speech (just like when you're in the last steps of mastering your first non-maternal language, though i'm not even close to that with Mandarin)
@@SkullGamerFull actully chinese people will understand you even if you dont practice any tone things,but it sounds not natural.how long have you been learning Chinese btw
i’m supposed to be doing french homework but here i am learning mandarin instead
I have a french test tomorrow and im here too lmao
Bon courage ! :D
One of my final upcoming exams next week is in spanish and here I am learning chinese lol
=))
Oh my God, I use french to distract my self from my chinese lessons hahahaha
sandra bullock is so good at teaching mandarin
Omg saaaame thought 😯😂
v a l x r i a Ikr. Wow, she can both Mandarin and German.
Personal opinion here.....better looking than Sandra Bullock ☺️
Right?! haha
HAHAHA este man
I am a native mandarin speaker,but I think your pronunciation is better than me. You are a good teacher.👍
Davide Di Oh that's amazing....Chinese in general is a beautiful language and I am tending to learn it even if it takes me 100 years to do so....wish me luck -.-
😂😂😂 that's good to know
@Michael Cai Tysm 😁💖
@Michael Cai true dat
I'm half Chinese but I can't even say a word HAHAHA
I'm a Mandarin speaker but I found myself repeating after her LOL...
Yili Liu ..
teach me senpai
@114018561760837891936
sorry but what is a senpai?
Edit: Senpai is the Japanese pronunciation of 先輩, which means a senior at school or workplace.
This word is pronounced Xianbei in Mandarin, which was why I didn't get it initially.
Yili Liu senpai means senior
Ashlynn Sania Japanese word?
I was tryna learn Mandarin on RosettaStone but instead of teaching me stuff I'l actually use, it taught me shit like "This dog is swimming." This was much more helpful.
I am married to a Fluent Mandarin Speaking women, only learned about ten phrases, decided to watch this video, learned more here than a decade around Asians.
I have looked at videos over the last two years, and this one made the most sense.
I am a native Chinese speaker, and I find your way of learning Chinese is really interesting and effective. Good job!
I am a native Mandarin speaker, I just wanna say her pronounce is almost perfect,even better than my grandma. Most of Chinese who use Cantonese as first language, they have a very funny accent when they speak Mandarin. But I can't feel her accent, that's really amazing for a native English speaker.
not really most of Chinese use Cantonese as first language Chinese has many accents, every where is different in China,
。我林日天第一个不服 great i want toooo please teach me you can join me on wechat
Lol Cantonese is fucking nasty sounding. Just as bad as Vietnamese.
What, really ? Is that really a thing ? I am a native French and Cantonese speaker, it's kind of making me self conscious about my mandarin accent.
thot Lol but why are you being mean though.
Ok. Now I am excited to learn Mandarin!!!! You made it so quick and easy to understand....practical. I will rewatch this several time.
我很樂意幫助你...
What!!!
hi wanna exchange language?
Do you know madarin is most easiest language
Holy crap, this is the video I watched when I first got to China in 2017 and so nostalgic. I remember when even this content was almost too difficult and foreign for me. Now I can have semi fluent conversations in advanced topics in Chinese after on and off study over the past 4 years. Don’t give up guys, this language takes a while and is packed with obstacles and barriers to learning but so rewarding the more you learn and communicate with locals. They sure appreciate it and know how hard it is for foreigners to learn.
When I said this to Chinese in my home town, they were laughing at me😅😅, then I said "do you understand?"
They said "yes"
😅😅I was so proud of myself
For a lot of mandarin speakers a white (or indeed any western) dude or gal speaking Chinese is the most wild shit they'll have seen all day.
Lmao I'm only learning because I work in a Chinese foot massage place and all my co workers speak chinese
Deon Colbert tryna make sure they not talkin shit huh? LOL
😂😉Loved this comment. Great ending 👍
Foolish
But this is a really good tutorial my mama sister and I went out to eat and I started ordering in mandarin. The waitress look at my mama and my mama shrugged her shoulders and said... "At least I know she's learning outside of school".
congrantulations for your mum!
I am a native Mandarin speaker. Your pronunciation is perfect. I like the way you teach languages. Recently, I follow you to learn French. Now, I am so surprised that you teach Mandarin as well. Cool.
I watched this 8 years ago and decided to start learning Chinese. I never used any more of her resources but became pretty fluent. It feels nostalgic now. I can hear her American accent when she speaks now but I couldn't back then.
I am a native speaker, and I really have to say,
YOU ROCK!!!!!!
The very fact that a non-native person like you can speak such a difficult language so well is encouraging to the learners.
By the way, I traveled to China both before and after the 2008 Olympics and noticed that cab drivers there could speak and understand basic English after the Olympics.
Babak Bagheri after all the ordeals they went thru…
Because English is a required subject in Chinese education, most Chinese people have no problem communicating in a simple, slow-moving language, even though they have never had the opportunity to use English in their lives.
Yeah the sound are pretty tough. You are the best Chinese teacher I come across so far
Guys keep saying Zhe Ge Na Ge together it sounds like chicken nugget
lmfao
now i keep on repeating that lmao
@@lemonadeee6392 lol
🤣🤣🤣
Why do I find that funny 😂
I am a Chinese born overseas who speaks Chinese. I think she is doing a very good job. I really admire her. The way she teaches is very clear and makes it easy to learn Chinese. Kudos!
As a native speaker, I gotta say your accent is amazing.
Hh
Thanks, Sonia--this is probably THE best Mandarin introduction on UA-cam! All useful stuff. I wish someone would do this for Korean also.
Oh my God, what a class teacher you are. The way you start n make it understand. Really lucky to see u....your one video made me, gave me confidence to start, to study Chinese. Xie Xie
You The Best
I learned more from this 14 mins video than 20 years of trying hard to learn,though surrounding by Mandarin speakers since primary school.
What the hell were you doing during those 20 years? You could become more fluent in Chinese than in your own native language in that amount of time if you tried hard enough.
Yeah I have to agree wtf fuck, I started learning German as a side language starting from the first of December of and on, and due to Christmas (mainly focusing on Japanese) and I can already say more things then what was in this video.
This sounds like your where trying to give a compliment but you endded up looking like and idiot.
20 years trying hard your mother, that's enough time to become fluent in 7 languages and you cant even master 1 language?
@@XMansive well aren't you just so intelligent.
作为中国人表示，你的发音很完美。 Your pronunciation is perfect. Awesome video!
I'm a teacher myself and Ive tried to keep my lessons as far as possible from picture-word teaching and simple repetition. I try to use context - usually in the form of short, circular stories, depending on level - and games. Love your approach. Started last Thursday out of simple boredom/ challenging myself. Already very interested today, Saturday. :-)
Thank you. What a great teacher!
Whenever i'm struggling with English or Italian, I watch Chinese lessons on UA-cam to remind me how hard it is for a non-native speaker to learn a new language. Makes me happy every time.
This vid really inspired me...
I do the same thing with English😂 they both have their challenges for non-native speakers
I'm a student studying in England and I used to be a broadcaster in China, which means my Mandrin pronunciation has been trained professionally and is much better than most Chinese people. Even so, I have to say, your Chinese pronunciation is so incredibly amazing!!!!!!
Eat shit
@@rogerjr.6588 ????
@@smartiebroks9729 leave me alone
？？amazing? 一听就是外国人发音好吗
Sonia you are so cute when speaking Chinese. A great job for sure! Pretty authentic.
Woo, as a Mandarin speaker I have to say your pronunciation is super!!!
Denise Lu hye dear, im from malaysia and i am a girl. can u teach me on how to speak chinese? i watched some video that saying if we want to learn foreign language, it would be more helpful if we have someone who is good in that language.
Hi Miss can you practice with me? Plz
"Qing shao deng yixia, zhi jiang shi zhide de" can you translate it in english please thank you
@@anajihah6516 Do you still want to learn Mandarin?I want learn about malaysia.And I can speak Mandarin,cause I come from China.
@@smileyosh6587 please wait a minute,it worth for it. What you wrote in pinyin i think is 请稍等一下，这将是值得的。
I'm here to understand what the heck they're saying in Meteor Garden 2018 because subtitles take forever to be uploaded
I can translate into English for u if you want, just need you to snap the pictures and send them to me.
But how come Western ppl begin to watch such artificial sentimental Chinese TV drama.
Haha me too! but after a few mins of the video i dont think i could ever learn chinese LOL!
If you have Netflix, there is no problem in the subtitles
Me too..haha
Page 250 u do know it’s on Netflix right
"Alcohol" "Shop' ... "HOTEL!"
Me: WHAT THE-
@Legend of potato 14:30 Also, why do you care whether I watch the whole video or not lmao
Literally !
Chinese are funny:)
I as a Chinese Speaker says everything you say is P E R F E C T !!! :D 10 out of 10 stars! 😁
Plz teach me chinese
as a native speaker,i must tell u that you pronouce the words very well.its amazing u master at least five languages.keep up the good work n good luck
Very effective Lessons, I've been married to my Mandarin Wife for 15 years now and was with a Taiwanese girl for two years before her.
I should have let myself be taught 17 years ago, that Tawanese girl was a teacher and was good at it.
Now I'm starting for real and will be speaking fluently within about 3 years I hope.
This the first Video watched since watching about learning how to speak mandarin from some effective British guy explaining what you'd need to learn about four years ago , including witch translater, dictionaries and other relevent information important in learning Mandarin.
That was Four years ago, I know now I'm burrying my head into it. May take some time but it'll pay.
Most of the wife and I's friends are all Mandarin.
Many years, groups of up to thirty people all spoke English for me but now they don't care anymore, they're
all relaxed around me so It's time to learn and This Is my starting point.
Excellent Announciation.
All the Best, Excellent Courses.
( Note- UA-cam, Please remove the unsavory remarks, I remeber my first beer, there's plenty of other places where those types seek out those remarks)
Diplomacy and Respect.
This is the first lesson where I’m like “ohhh…I get it!” Glad I found this channel!
Thank you very much miss. May God bless you, your family, your channel and all of your subscribers. Thank you so much.
Thank you!I am Chinese and was originally trying to Learn spanish, some how find your Chinese tutorial and find out you pronounce 100% correctly!which I know not too many people can speak that well unless he or she was native. I am very impressed and gaining more confidence on learning more language from you. Thank you!
this is the most helpful lesson for an absolute beginner (like me) I've found so far.
Yeah it's great :) What about Yangyang Cheng
+Jason schmidt i would like to teach you chinese ,and can you teach me english ?and my english is not so bad .
+林志勋 try ConversationExchange.com :) Sorry; I accidentally reported your comment as spam. Good luck though.
Me: *repeating after her*
*laughs*

Lo
An excellent approach ... when I studied Hindi nothing taught was of any practical use .. this is immediately valuable to me when I visit the local Buddhist temple Tea House. Thankyou.
I learned Mandarin when I was about 6 (and took classes until I was about 8) because my dad worked in China a lot so I would go for a month every year in the summer. I got pretty good, but then my school stopped offering classes and my dad stopped working in China. Recently I got interested in learning again, so I came looking for videos on basic Mandarin. I was surprised by how much I started to remember watching this and that I can still recognize the difference in tune of the words.
Welcome to China. In fact China children learning Chinese and youtobe on many video is not the same, but maybe this way is more suitable for a foreigner (in fact in terms of efficiency comparison first way will be higher)
Hey i am a native chinese speaker, your pronunciation is amazing!
the best part is when you say the meaning of each part of a word. think you. this is exelent🙂
I just discovered this channel. It's amazing!!!!
This was helpful. Thanks, Sandra Bullock!
Puteri Nor Atiqah I just knew somebody would say that.
I saw in the French, but why in the Mandarin section too
SHE LOOK LIKE SANDRA BULLOCK TO ME..
老师的发音很标准。我是来学习英文的。
The teacher has a pretty good mandarin pronunciation.
I come here to learn to English. ;-)
lol
from china, "lol", what's meaning?
Ben Cheng lol is an acronym that means "laughing out loud" . It means you are laughing or think something is funny

Hello sir.
Give her a medal 🏅and some cash 💸for her awesome lesson just now.
This was really helpful. Thank you! I've been living in Taiwan for several months but have found no time to learn Chinese with my work schedule
I never knew chinese was so easy. I'm just learning Chinese so I can speak it With Zhang Yixing and Huang Tao
You are a real good teacher, thank you sooooo much, I looooooooooove learning languages, it is such a luxury!
I’m here because I’m getting frustrated with learning Russian
For Russian just don't learn the grammar in the beginning it'll turn you off if you don't.
Just offer vodka... We don't care after that loo
加油💪🏼
Thanks fluens,your teaching is so easy to follow
THIS GIRL CAN SPEAK EVERY LANGUAGE! OMG!
Your pronunciation is amazing ! You must helped so many people ! I'm a native Chinese speaker so I'll have to say that there are some translating mistakes , but it's difficult for new foreign learners to understand , those sentences are easy to practice and helpful for communication but they are actually very impolite to say ... Yet , you are a nice person ! 很棒的老师！
You are The best I just opened and wrote how to speak Chinese and I already have learned a lot thank you 😊
每一个好的老外中文老师都是好的英文老师
Every good Mandarin teachers from outside of China are great English teachers for Chinese students like me :D
As a Chinese, I am so happy that you guys are willing to learn mandarin : ) If you have any question of your Chinese study feel free to ask me~ : D

Honestly, this girl speaks better Mandarin than most Chinese! Hard work and determination pay off!

@@alanfang452 I could try to help you if you want to help me with Mandarin. I'm on WeChat.
HOW CAN YOU SPEAK ALL OF THESE LANGUAGES SO WELL
Despite being a bit distracted by her beauty, this video is indeed very helpful and I can recommend it to everyone.
Let me say it was awesome. I really really enoy this video. It literally takes us step by step and makes it very very easy to catch up and understand that quickly. Especially for a beginner like me. Thank you very much.
Same I just started learning manderain I liked this video allot. I cant even speak full sentences yet but hopefully with good youtuber teachers I'll get there!
This was a very very good lesson. I'm really trying to train my ear to these particular tones...thanks. As a complete and total beginner, this was helpful!
Sepia Rose As a native speaker, I have to say the pronunciation is so good, it reaches the professional level as teachers of hanbridgemandarin.
Ye Julie
Yes, she's excellent! I have to get more into her lessons. :D
Sepia Rose hello, native Mandarin speaker here, If you wanna learn mandarin, I can teach you, and you can correct my English errors.
My Skype:skipper5678. Welcome to add me!
I'm a mandarin speaker and I am shocked that you can speak so naturally. You've got a totally Chinese accent!
This was so helpful, I’ve learned French and Spanish and you made learning mandarin easier than I learned in middle school haha Thank you so much. I have my husband laughing with me as I pronounce it funny. I speak Cantonese so mandarin isn’t too hard to understand certain words.
Awesome. Thank you very much. Good Greetings from Baghdad/Iraq to you 💐❤
I tried to act smart in front of my family so when my mom asked me what a wanted from the shelf I said nà ge and she slapped me
Relatable
The EXPERIENCE lololo
The EXPERIENCE why?
The EXPERIENCE nvm
Why did she slap you?
bīng shuî means water with ice. the cold water is lêng shuî :)
不是凉白开么
I work with a lot Taiwan/Chinese people, this is good for knowing the basic mandarin as language sometimes is a barrier to communicating.
This is super helpful, give thanks to the one who makes all possible!
As soon as the video started I knew what the comments were going to be like lol.
I wish she had more videos in mandarin. I learned more from this video than rosetta stone
your method of teaching languages is the best I've ever seen.
Thank you very much ! You’re a good teacher.
excellent .straight to the point..practicle
For a native Mandarin speaker, her accent is really nearly perfect. I can't imagine White people speak so correct!! Although its just simple sentence...
I love how her eyes go wide whenever she starts speaking Chinese ^__^ Very expressive.
One factor that made this video good is her soothing and relaxed personality plus good voice.
This is the first time I've watched a video on Chinese, and thought, maybe I CAN learn Chinese. Really awesome. You need to fix your link in the description. It doesn't work.
AngelBlade It’s a very old video. Fluenz might not be a thing anymore.

Wow it's really fantastic to have you as a chinese teacher.thank you so much.
I'm way past this point, but this is the best pronunciation and phrase guide I've seen for day 1. Great for business Chinese.
You know as English speakers we hear the very slight inflection make a world of difference and think to ourselves "oh boy what a tough language". But then you just hear the super slight difference in tone for the word "good" and "god" and think, oh s*** English is hard
Speaking it isn't hard, reading is
The best way to learn eng or chinese is JUST TO FEEL and DONT TO THINK,which is said from Bruce Lee
玻璃坤為什麼要那樣做空白
Its even easier to complain about someone speaking a different language and pointing out what the official language of the country is.

Good luck
This video is AMAZING!!! I spent a couple months in China. All I had was the lessons from this video. It was enough to get out of a rough airport situation with a taxi and to do basic communication with waiters and my hosts friends. Thank you for making this!!
Im 4 years here in Taiwan just now I know restaurant is fandian😆😆.....i learned a lot 👍👍👍
Because its different version? mandarin in mainland is simplified and taiwan is traditional
She reminds me of Sandra Bullock
Same here.
Except that she is even hotter!!!!!!!!!!!
SANDRA LIKE BBC!
There are several things for how to learn Chinese
Decide exactly why you wish to speak Chinese
Try to use Chinese everyday
Decide what method works for you best.
