I feel like of all the Mandarin tutors on YT right now, ShuoShuo is absolutely destroying the competition in the "subtle yet dark humor" category. It's like she has this deep wellspring of dark/sexual humor, and every so often she will let it see the light of day in her videos....
@@kondaniriche8372 Yep, been at it for a few years now. My best tip would be throw away the textbooks as soon as possible and start watching at least 2-3 hours of mandarin content on YT (or listening to podcasts) every day. If you do that for at least 6 months, you will see massive improvements. Videos like the ones ShuoShuo makes are helpful, but think of them as at best supplementary. For example, all the examples she lists in this video, I've already learned just by listening to lots of content and organically coming across them again and again. Input is the key factor!
@@peters8699 That is some very good advice! You definitely need to know some basics in order 'to get to first base' with ShuoShuo! I would also recommend Yi Zhao's learning videos. Can you list some elementary podcasts, because I have trouble catching words and phrases.
@@jmarker35 听故事学中文is a great one for beginners, they go through stories in mandarin and then go back and explain the vocal, but do so in mandarin. Also they speak at a moderate pace, so it's a great podcast for beginners
@@jmarker35 You can also watch (on YT) 世界青年说 and 二分之一强 as well, as those shows are mostly foreigners speaking fairly decent mandarin, so while it's not great training for your accent, it IS a great stepping stone to get into 100%, normal speed, native content. If you watch at least 100 hours of those shows, you'll be impressed at how effortlessly you improve.
I've been learning Chinese for maybe 12 or 13 years... You are the first...yes, genuinely the first, Chinese female teacher who has been willing to teach any words that are not entirely polite. hahaha...Boys will teach swear words as the very first thing to learn. 谢谢老师。 为什么中国姑娘那么多礼貌?
A lot of language resources I've used over the years (and for various different languages), most teachers try and avoid topics that are more mature and less "appropriate", and I've always found it really frustrating to search for genuine explanations of the spoken language I was hearing. People say things that aren't appropriate all the time! People curse, people say dirty jokes and innuendos! So I'm really, really glad that you're taking the time and effort to explain these kinds of words and expressions. I feel like the Mandarin that I'm learning from you is so much more human and realistic :)
Try to do this small quiz after watching this video! 【How do you say ... in a more casual way?】 1. 你在做什么？ 2. 你真厉害！ 3. 我们几点走啊？ 4. 你想吃什么就吃什么。 5. 这件衣服太贵了! 加油！
Hello Shuo Even that I just found out your channel, quickly realized that your videos are extraordinary. Checking your videos seems to become a daily routine for me, keep up the great work..
0:31 lol Such a relatable moment. This happened to me too often on apps and I honestly can’t tell if they’re just being nice or are really impressed. Probably the former XD

I think it dependsbon your expression and tones? I sometimes did to my roomate when he does weird or crazy things. Mostly to closed friends never say that to older ones or your bosses.
Well, adding the 在 makes it more gentle， If you really want to say "what the heck are you doing" or with that emotion, you'd say 你干嘛？and maybe stress the 嘛 to sound like 你干嘛啊？
你在干什么！ or 你在干嘛呀！ are probably the most common i've heard in games (primarily Siege) i believe the 呢 makes the sentence more casual as well as your tone
你太屌了，You're doing a great job shuo, I thank you so much. I feel like learning chinese wasn't meant to be difficult with you. You are such a great teacher, I love you.
Again such a great video. I always see 搞 on Chinese internet but couldn't find out how to use it... Thank you so much and I love your jokes! Can't forget the words after that 😂
When I was studying in 苏州大学, one of my classmates told me that a good reasoning behind 屌 meaning "awesome; great" is to look at an English equivalent: a "well hung" man is considered to be a sign of greatness, lending towards the "fertility" argument haha. I guess that's a good way to remember justifying its meaning, even if it's a tad vulgar!
You are so cool Teacher Shuo❤️ I'm watching your videos everyday, and I keep on laughing while learning. I love how you explain everything, it's very clear and helpful for all beginners like me. Thank you 🙏💐
Such a terrific lesson! I'm so glad I found your channel. If you don't mind a friendly observation, at 4:19 you use 'exchangeable', but 'interchangeable' is better. 'Exchange' means trade, while 'interchange' means replace. Also, when you describe yourself as 'polite', a better word might be 'refined', whereas someone who would use bad language inappropriately would be described as 'coarse'. I only tell you because your command of English is so impressive that it suggests you would be interested in such details.
你太屌了 XD This video was great, and I'm definitely going to start using some of these words with my chinese friends. I had already heard of 啥 because my friends use it all the time, but I learned a lot too!
that's the video we learners all want and need!! except the learners who are surrounded by natives, we cannot learn the authentive speak, since textbooks dont teach you that. thanks!!
i haven't had much practice at all with swear words in Chinese, but I was under the impression that 干 meant the same swear word on mainland China as you say it means in Taiwan
I have a question.... As you said that we can use “你在干嘛？” instead of “你在做什么？” "干” has the similar meaning as 做 ....(but cannot be exchangeable always) And in the next word you said that “啥” has the similar meaning and can be used instead of "什么” in many cases So ... 干啥呀? Can be said nah? 我的意思是，我们可不可以说“干啥呀？”
When I was in China for a bit, some locals asked me how is it that I knew some mandarin. I told them that I spent 3 years in Beijing Prison #15. Some Chinese people did not believe me but others just looked a little nervous. "北京监狱十五号"
I don't know if the meaning of diao has changed, but I knew a couple of Chinese kids from south china who used diao a lot. This was over a decade ago. It means F--k and is used 100% like the English word, except not for the "awesome, great" part. Only sexual or offensive, the negative meanings. It was borrowed from Cantonese, which uses it exactly the same way. I don't know where the positive spin comes from. It's about as crude as the F word and gets bleeped on television in Hong Kong, much like the F word is bleeped in the US. So YMMV when using it. Watch who you use it around.
你太屌了！ As a person learning chinese, i really like your channel and i think you are very funny!! This is enjoyable to watch and learn more things, thanks!
Could you do a video about cool movies, series and singers/ songs. In my opinion, for girls chinese learning will be easier because there is a lot of chinese drama and love songs but for men it is more complicated. I tried to force myself to watch chinese drama i.e meteor garden and others but it's too girly. All I know is Jay Chou and IP man movies 😂 非常感谢您👍
She got me watching dou ting hao and an jia... The first is a realist drama the second is a situational comedy about a real estate business. Both on yt.
Teacher I love to watch your videos. It's really interesting learning Chinese on shuo shuo Chinese. But it would be better using micro phone when you record video lessons. Your voice are much feeble than other channels.
I really want to learn Taiwan mandarin. Don't they use both shénme and gànmá in Taiwan? Even though I was surprised to hear "gan" is equivalent to "f****". I hear both a lot.
To impress my Chinese friends I say something in Chinese that I can't say in English. For example, if I say "You have a passport so you can leave the country but airplanes are not leaving so you can't leave the country." they look confused but if I say "你有護照，所以你可以國去，可是飛機沒有離開，所以你不可能國去。" they understand.
Hello. I Was looking for a video that explains the differences between Míngbái, Tīng dǒng, & Liǎojiě, but I Couldn't Find Anything Could You Make A Video On This Topic Please ? Or A Quick Explanation In A Reply To My Comment ? I'd Be Extremely Grateful. Thanks. J
Is it impolite to use 啥 instead of using 什么 while talking to your boss or an elder person ? And I wanna add one thing more , can we use 你在干嘛呢or干啥呢？to all people or to only our friends ???
Do you think your US English-speaking audience understood the 屌 reference? Unlike in the UK, Americans normally use the word 'rooster' for a 公鸡 😂. Love this channel and your cheeky attitude.
