I think this translation is little bit wrong. 8.50 这里的天气不是太冷，就是太热。Exact translation should be" If the weather here is not too cold then it's too hot." 但是你的视频很好处。
this is the most useful chinese lesson that i have seen online 谢谢
Agreed
Totally agree !!!
truth
This is a fantastic video! My vocabulary is pretty decent (around 2500 words), but without context and listening skills, they don't do a lot on their own. I knew all of the words in the video, but I'm on my fourth time watching this, and listen to parts many more times than that. I love it. Thanks!!!

Currently working hard to reach HSK 6! Wish me luck!
heck yeah! 2500? That's awesome

I took my HSK 5 and passed it last year almost entirely by watching this channel and speaking chinese with the locals while living in China. I did lots of HSk5 mock tests and used Pleco + Android to memorize characters..
This channel is all laid out for you in the easiest way possible. The grammar series and the HSK series are a god send... I don't know how I would have learned it otherwise..
How did you get on with the writing part?
@@LeMouvementNZ I bought 4 boxes of A4 paper, and 100 pens... and literally wrote down 500 characters a day.. hardest is to differentiate similar sounding characters..
not to mention memorizing Anki Flashcards.
It was the hardest part
Chinese has straightforward sentences, so its not hard to write a sentence ( no grammar, no plurals, no fancy sentence structure), however, remember the characters is a massive obstacle.
@@PeterMasalski93 You said your wrote 500 characters a day. How many days in the row you were doing it and how many A4 sheets have you fully written on?
@@awesomebearaudiobooks After some time, I realized that I wasted a lot of paper. I bought a small whiteboard (like 50cmx50cm) with a box of board markers (20 markers).
And I just lied down on my bed with my HSK list, I would use flashcards to review the meaning and then start writing them big until I could write them in a single motion small. Once I could write them small enough I switched to paper to be able to fill in the exam questions.
Using paper will clog your trash bin, I promise you that. I forgot to mention my small whiteboard in my initial post which helped me draw them big at the beginning.
So I would suggest
- Start with a whiteboard with markers and practice them big with all the details, slowly make them smaller and remember the motion.
- Once you are good enough and able to write them small (book size/test size) then switch to paper for essays and stuff.
this lesson is really a treasure!! thank you!
This is the best free way to learn Mandarin I've ever encountered. Subscribed and donated right away.
我也是
The way you space the words in a sentence is very helpful!
亲爱Eileen。我今年78岁， 瑞士人，住在俄国，学汉语。 您的课程太棒了！您的发音 精彩！您的 例子们 是与中国人沟通的良好基础。谢谢您 ! Спасибо! Arigatoo gozaimasu! Merci! Herzlichen Dank! Thank you! 再见!
哇！您今年78岁还在学习汉语，实在令人敬佩。我们都应该向您学习！
Your channel is a true value to the internet. We can't thank you enough.
As a sinology student who started university 9 months ago, this is truly the best online Chinese grammar lesson i've ever seen! It's literally summary of our books. It is even more instructive. Thank you so much. 非常感谢！
One of the most informative video on Chinese I have ever seen. I'm subscribing with the bell notification! 谢谢你
This is possibly the most valuable channel I have stumbled onto. Thank you mandarin corner.
I appreciate all you do👍🏽👍🏽
These videos are a tremendous help for my listening skills!!
Still the best Mandarin peeling lesson I've ever received is this very one video. I've gotten to a point where I relax after work by watching this instead of watching Real Time with Maher, I'm loving watching these two and they relax me. What a fantastic job there, Eileen!
非常实用，谢谢！
Chinese zero to hero
你也是最好的老师。我喜欢你的中文课。
Very very useful video. Jiayou!
Thanks, I lived in China for 5 years and I appreciate your vocabulary, i am learning more from here.
Why don't u have a million subscriber already
I could say hand on heart this is the greatest channel to learn chinese❤
Never delete this video! A real gem!
This is a very good video. I'm happy to say that i've advanced beyond the level where this would be helpful, but if i had seen this years ago i probably would have got there sooner. Any beginner or intermediate students would do well to check this out.
The vocab is all simple enough to allow one to focus on the sentence patterns themselves, and they're the kind of sentence patterns that are important for getting beyond the 'me tarzan you jane' level of simple grammar, which, it's very satisfying being able to sound halfway natural in a language so different from one's native tongue (chinese is the only language i've ever progressed to that stage in, despite having studied a few others). I remember drilling these things at uni, and a lot of them are weird, but hey, that's the way the chinese talk. And, some chinese people are (or at least act) very impressed with any laowai who can muster a simple "nihao, qingwen tushuguan zai nar?", using these kinds of patterns will get you more deserved/sincere props. If you're vain af like me, that's half the game. Or you could just memorize like hundreds of chengyu, and that might actually stroke their cultural ego more, and then you're just TMD厉害了. But who wants to memorize chengyu, really?
Anyway,
谢谢你，支持！加油！恭喜发财happyeverydaydayupupstudystudygoodgood!
Oh if anyone bothers to read this i do have one question:
I lied, there was one sentence pattern i'm not too familiar with, the "等。。。再" --
So, "才“ is often used for a "not until" or something that happens late, like,
我三点钟才睡觉了
wǒsāndiǎnzhōngcáishuìjiaole
I didn't go to bed until 3 o'clock
I get (i think) that the 等。。。再 seems to be specifically for waiting for someone (like, that's why it has 等). But in that case, could one use ”等。。。才“ instead? My gut tells me that something like "等大家都到达以后，我们才可以开始吃" should sound okay and also mean "We'll wait until everyone gets here and then we can eat", but sounds more... strict? Like it would be better translated into the english "We cannot eat until after everyone has arrived, get your hands off the goddamn food." ??
Both “等大家都到了，我们才可以开始吃。” Or “等大家都到了，我们再开始吃。“ are correct.
However, the meaning and the tone are slightly different. The first one is more of a command, "Only when everyone arrives, can we then start to eat." (Do not eat until everyone arrives!)
Whereas the second one is a simple statement, which means "we will start to eat when everyone arrives. "
哇,酷，没想到人会回复我。 Especially not so fast.
So it sounds like my intuition was spot on... at least on this one.
Awesome channel. You're a good teacher, keep it up.
Great video! I love what you guys are doing on this channel and love that you guys make your awesome resources free for people to use.
Thank you so much!
you made a great video - a lot of thought has been put into it to enhance our learning on multiple levels
This video has filled up so many gaps in my understanding of the language. This channel is truly very underrated. This video is gold for anyone wanting to take a quick dive into mandarin Grammer.
This video is STILL amazing! So hard to find resources that will actually just go through grammar, what it means, and how to use it. Been learning Chinese for a year and I'm happy I finally found something like this.
你是我理想的中文老师，谢谢你给我们讲课的。我希望在未来能够跟你一样怎么精彩地讲中文课。
I can't describe how much I appreciate this kind of simple knowledge ❤
This should be the best video ever. Nouns are bit easy to learn. But nobody really teaches how to connect one word to the other. I swear I will listen to this video 50 times this two months and probably more after the two months..I'm in love with her explanation ..谢谢 thank s to you that now I can express my real emotions... Right now I can have a conversation but after this I will be holding stories 🤗🤗😘
Beautiful Chinese teaches us beautiful Chinese.
謝謝老師。 你的視頻超幫我學中文。。
我現在在臺灣的大學念書。

这是最好视频在 UA-cam
A very useful collection of sentence patterns. This takes me back to fourth year university and my Mandarin teacher Mr Wang from Beijing reading from the rudimentary text books of the 90s!
非常非常非常好， 辛苦你了。
Best Chinese lesson I have ever seen. 你很厉害。
Excellent. Must see material. Super useful. Eileen, you are the best.
This is one of the best video material ever in UA-cam. Thank you for your hard work. 你是 一 位 认 真 的 老 师。 谢 谢 老 师。 🙏🙏 🇳🇵
....你真是一位非常棒的老师，一定比其他的在线教中文课的老师讲得好得多，我只想给你鼓励一下，你作的视频很有帮助，谢谢！.
One of the best videos I’ve gone through
jatin85000 jjkkjjj
Good day Eileen. This video is excellent, I wish that such materials could have been available when I started to Chinese in 1996. Back then , even textbooks for foreigners were few and far between.
The way you repeat the patterns gives me time to learn the sounds properly
Kai. Lin Lee 你好 🤣I am a Chinese, I can teach you to speak fluent Chinese, I am working very hard to learn English, I really want to learn English, can you communicate with each other? Learn from each other?😄
冬至 Okay
Kai. Lin Lee May I add your social media？WhatsApp or else？
冬至 instagram.

你的视频 是 很 帮助的，我 看完 你的视频 以后，了解 我 会 表达 许多 想法。现在，我 在 鼓励 你们 来 制作 这 类 视频。thanks a lot the video has been very helpful.
I am happy to see how much your channel is growing. Over 7k subscriptions and good viewership. Your lessons are getting better and better as the months progress. Keep up the great work! And congratulations on your success.
Thank you John, we appreciate your comments!
This video was very helpful in the process of improving my Chinese speaking Thanks a lot
this is excellent. they only suggestion I would make is that the second time an example is read to increase the speed to natural speed. thank you!
yes , my thoughts exactly, and with the tone sandhi
I see the tone sandhi is there. Just the second in natural speed would be perfect
You are great! It's a little beyond my level, but probably helpful to fight my way through them. I hope people are donating money to you.
Pritam kumar, What is wrong with you, he is only trying to say something nice. It is not necessary to talk nasty
And let’s start with you, donate the money now! Prat
Donate money now. What’s wrong with you? Bigot
You are amazing!! Thank you so much. SO helpful !
I have been looking for something like this for 2 years. FINALLY!
Muchas gracias profesora, Es muy util. Saludos!
Excellent video lesson. These patterns are necessary to take language mastery to a higher level. Xie xie ni.
This video is seriously worth its weight in gold. 多谢 !
Super! Thank you! This is the one video I am listening over and over....
HI Peace! You can also go to our website, mandarincorner.org to download the FREE audio files (mp3) and video PDF transcript for this video so you study the sentence patterns anywhere without the need for internet connection! The files are very small so they take up little space on your smartphone.
It is designed from an insider genius like a private one-on-one lesson. Very focused and tactful for every beginner
很厲害！ 除了妳的功課以外，我找不到這麽好功課，謝謝老師
谢谢！
Your vids might be the best on the internet (but especially bike ride to downtown) - but I only found your channel recently! I think perhaps this is a new channel, so it is taking time to grow. I'm planning to donate when I'm back in Australia - I'm just noting this now so I have to be a man of my word.
Ooops ... nearly forgot to subscribe!
Thank you for subscribing!
Thank you for posting the English definition, the Chinese character, and the pinyin. Lifesaver.
This video is amazing, thank you for putting it together. Now that I'm living in Shanghai I'm trying to brush up on my Chinese again
Thanks Mandarin Corner... of the hundreds of films I've watched in the last 3 months... this is probably the most useful! I wish I had seen this earlier! Your films are brilliant, I only found them last week when looking for listening tests (which are equally good)
There is a lot of rubbish on UA-cam but glad I can always come back to this channel to learn my Chinese
Very helpful, much better than just grammar and syntax rules from a text book.
This is such an amazing and informative video, thank you so much for your time and effort!
Thanks for watching, Sean!
Thanks. These sentence patterns illustrate how smart Chinese language is to use few words in order to express the most
we are very appricieted your kindly teaching Mandarine for us this video.
Wow so awesome to see this channel grow so much, for a long time her videos barely had any views now they usually have 10-20k views. Congrats :D 加油。
恭喜你Eileen，你的视频真的很有用
谢谢你很棒！
Brilliant video. Very clear and easy to understand. 谢谢你。
oh my god, this is so good to listen to, to learn. thank you so much.
This video is really usefull. 对我来说这个视频非常有帮助。
This is amazing content, brilliantly presented. Very practical, & will instantly fill some holes in your vocabulary. Thank you thank you thank you!
This is really good. I have been learning from Aileen's videos for beginners for some time. They provide great foundations on sentence structures. Thank you so much.
Very very good. I already heard most of these sentence patterns, but not all of them. It's handy to have them all in a single video. I'll need to watch it again and again to practice.
You can also practice with these sentence patterns and examples with flashcards at: www.mandarincorner.org/42-essential-sentence-patterns-flashcards/
Thank you. You are very kind
This is basically the kind of video that i've been looking for since started learning chinese. Thanks
I love you, thank you. I feel so bad my chinese is not good enough, I wanted to cry and those lessons are very helpful.
哇塞啊，我不敢相信这部视频这么厉害啊。给我很大的帮助啊，是正好我最需要的。绝对了不起了。非常感谢你努力
谢谢你的留言！我们的频道还有很多类似的视频。我们的网站上也有免费的PDF和MP3可以下载。www.mandarincorner.org
All your lessons are very good. I love it and I am learning a lot, you are very beautiful
i cant believe this isnt ur number one most viewed video after five years ??? it should at least have hit a million views by now omfg
Eileen you are so good! This video is so helpful! Thanks a lot!!
我每天早上的第一件事情就是打开笔记本电脑看你视频haha， 我是在中国留学你的视频对我有很大的帮助，感谢你老师!
相信你的汉语一定会有进步的！加油！
谢谢老师。
谢谢老师。我喜欢您的课。
This is very very useful pattern for teaching language and it helps me a lot to remember chinese letters and improve me much better both of how to make english sentences and chinese sentences. Thank you very very much.
Can't not leave the site without saying how well put together this is. Excellent work. The English word order doesnt follow the exact pinyin meaning but I guess at this point you should be able to link what means what. Great job guys, i am subscribing.
Hi Ramon! If we try to make the English word order follow the Chinese word order then the English sometimes does not sound very natural.
ALTHOUGH I'M NOT MANDARIN CORNER'S BIGGEST FAN 'COS I THINK THERE'S OFTEN A HUGE MISMATCH BETWEEN THE MATERIAL AND THE LEVEL, I DO THINK THIS VIDEO IS EXCELLENT IN EVERY RESPECT. THE DELIVERY IS CLEAR, THE EXAMPLES ARE VERY USABLE AND MORE THAN ONE EXAMPLE IS PROVIDED FOR EACH PATTERN.
BASED ON THIS I WOULD SAY EILEEN IS GROWING IN SOPHISTICATION.
VERY WELL DONE.
This grammar and logics reference video is very useful for those who love training because any speech pattern requires one's one effort in lexical extension using words from your own experience and creative approach , not consuming the ready phrases but producing in compliance with the patterns but with your own situation. Thank you.
谢谢， 非常好。
The best Chinese learning chanel on the internet!
感谢您的帮助，我特别喜欢你的视频。
真的对我影响很大。
This is amazing content, spoken clearly with pinyin and characters. Highly recommended for the advanced beginner/intermediate. 谢谢你。
you are a very good Chinese language teacher
Great video. Thanks so much!
Awesome video - better than any textbook i've ever had!
this was so useful thank you so much i feel like a pro now :)
谢谢，来自希腊的问候！(Thank you,greetings from Greece!)
你好! 希腊的学生
I like this pattern of the pin yin and Chinese character. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Your efforts is rise like sky... And 你很漂亮! Love your channel! 好有趣的视频
This is really awesome and helpful. 真的很棒謝謝你
Thank you for saying that these sentences arent actually hard, but they just need repetiton! After writing all of them down, just before you said it, I was about to "wow thats a lot, I'm so bad", so that's why it was relieving to hear hehe
This is better than any textbook!
EXCELLENT video! Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the best lessons I have seen on youtube, thank you!!
