對外國人學中文最有效和理想的方法是由學繁體中文開始, 因為大多數繁體中文字都是由2000多年前的中國文字不斷進化並演變至今, 是極具歷史價值的,相反簡體字只有很短暫的歷史. 再者, 學習繁體字不但令你對傳統中文字有更深入的理解,而且可以更透徹知道字體背後的創造原意. 可是, 為了書寫方便快捷, 大多簡體中文字的構造都被刪減, 甚至假借普通話同音或近音的字,完全失去原有的意思, 因此, 外國人會很難透過想像事物的形狀外貌猜想簡體字的意思,令學習中文更加困難. It's better and beneficial for foreigners to start by learning traditional Chinese at the beginning because the present characters in TS have been widely used and greatly evolved for at least 2000 years, but simplified Chinese only has a very short history. Not only can you better learn more original characters, but also deeply understand the initial creation meaning of each of them . Yet, in SC, most of the characters lose their original meaning and you are hardly to guess the characters by directly imagining the shape or appearance of that stuff. As a result, you may feel exhausted in learning Chinese through SC. So , I supporting learning TS in spite of its more complicated formation. I've a great passion for learning English and French too!!!! Hong Konger's comment

This was great, I saw something in Glamour magazine and have keeping my eye on the website. Now the book is out, I'm definitely going to buy it! One thing... on the next video (this was great, by the way!) could you please tell us the Chinese pronunciation of the word? Or is that difficult, is Chinese a tonal language? Thankyou! :)
Yes chinese is a tonal language, there are four tones the first one is a high ongoing tone (in pinyin that's ā) the second is a rising tone that starts in the middle and goes up like asking a question (in pinyin:á) the third starts in the middle then goes up but not as high as the second(in pinyin:ǎ) and the fourth is a tone that starts at the highest but goes straight down(in pinyin: à) watch the tone your using because if you say mā that means mom but if you say mǎ it means horse watch the chinese tones video on learnchinesenow
She starting with the sound bite that will sell you something...so, pinyin, pronunciation, and the other 95% of the Chinese characters that are not easy...well, you'll have to find that out later.
The 4 Chinese tones. This may help you. If you simply google "chinese tones" and search images, you will find out some nice ways to understand the basics. Good luck ! Nathalie. By language-teacher.co.uk
Me : I've learnt some chinese words, now I know several words like tomorrow, prison, and woods Friend : really? What's prison in chinese Me : it's a cow under a roof 😌 Friend : uh... what's the chinese word? Me : You silly, I just told you! 🙄
Yes..can any one say is this Mandarin Chinese?. And how many letters do Chinese mandarin have and how much she is teaching us? .if you know any of this question I asked please reply
@@pinkcholexx827 written chinese is mutually intelligible between the various dialects & there are two styles: Traditional & Simplified. This video appears to use Traditional characters, more properly called ‘radicals’, of which there are about 200+. I forget. Anyway these combine to make all the thousands of chinese words. Hope this helped!
@@pinkcholexx827 no one knows how many “letters” there are, but estimates say +100,000. But 99% of Chinese literature is written with a list of only 3,000, and furthermore, 89.1% of it uses just 1,000 characters.
The picture for "king" did not capture the real meaning of the character 王. In ancient China, the emperor claims to be the son of god, connecting heaven, earth, and people. The three horizontal line represents heaven, earth and people, the vertical line connects the three, hence the character 王. This character was not created from the shape of the object like 人, but the philosophical meaning of the object
thank you for this more elevated explanation ! I doubt I could now ever forget the character for king !! PS. I simply love how so many of the words have stories attatched to them, it makes them much easier to remember and also lots of fun to learn new ways of thinking about objects!
***** Well ，you probably ask for the difference of “人人” and “大家”. the exact meaning of “大家” is “all of you/all of us”.“人人”means“each of us”. we often say “大家好”in chinese and“hello,everyone"in english otherwise what we say"人人都通过了测试” means “everyone passed the exam” therefore .both “人人” and “大家”are translated to “everyone”. Hope that can help you.
Hahaha I always feel it's somewhat subjective which is a reason why this is difficult. Someone told me it's the tigers markings because the tiger is the king of the forest.
I’m not learning Chinese but I’m actually learning korean, I was just curious on how other people wanted to learn Chinese and so far Chinese actually looks fun to learn! Good luck to anyone learning any language 😉
I tried learning Korean just cause and I was like 'nope I'm out' and saw this video and I was like 'time for me to flex my abilities on the chinese language😈'
I'm here actually because of "Hanja" (Literally Chinese characters) in Korean. But, learning hanja prompted me to learn more of chinese. I'm loving it! Good work for you too to learn 한국어. Much love from Brazil! :D
I made up this method for myself when I started studying Mandarin, however it does get harder once you get into more complicated characters. Plus there's forming sentences, pronounciation and so on. But it does help in the beginning of you have a big imagination I guess.
Hello I'm from India Can u plzz suggest me the best way to learn Mandarin I've learned Spanish korean English And my 2 native languages And now I'm struggling with mandarin but it is quite tough
@@arpitamukherjee9755 Listen, that is the best way i can tell you. Nowadays its more common to speak than write so learning these characters might nott help so much if you want to travel or anything
such an ancient writing system. The whole world uses phonetic alphabets except for china uses this damn shit. memorize how many? 50,000+ fucking characters? It's only making china more isolated
What an amazing video! We appreciate it alot! Please if you wouldn't mind add the pronunciation of the Chinese character to the greatest teaching , it would perfect and more informative in this way! Xiexie!
Great way to start off! Very helpful! Note that as you get to harder words, this does not apply as much and some are a stretch. While some characters are like this, they are in the minority! :) By the way, if you are curious, more traditional characters look like what they represent than simplified. So take that into account when deciding which to learn Ex: turtle Traditional : 龜 Simplified : 龟 This is great though and is a great starting point!
ra saket Japanese pronounces "chinese characters" (aka Kanji) differently to Chinese. In the most basic terms, written japanese uses a combination of these Kanji AND two variants of alphabet - Hiragana, being the native alphabet, and Katakana, being a "translation" alphabet used for foreign words. I would highly suggest trying to find Japanese courses online. :D
I believe the purpose is to allow communication. Speaking a language is not as helpful as speaking the language. If you were traveling being able to read street signs. She also said a lot of the language is contextual meaning that the way things are presented and understanding of culture is required to be able to communicate clearly. So she has given a basic starting place of how the language is structured. I have the distinct impression that without the context of how the characters are superimposed the ability to learn spoken Mandarin would be near impossible because the context of a characters use alters how the words are pronounced. So were learning the context.
That material is not enough whatsoever. Learning a language is not only about learning words individually, it encompasses a myriad of things. This is an oustanding way to learn but for children, what about adults? It may introduce you a 2 percent of the language, is it what you really want to?
me: 'not being able to remember characters for tree, person, fire etc' Chinese is hard *sees 王* me: OMG that's Wang, see I know every Chinese character, haha
Everybody gangsta until you learn that: 糖 means "sugar" 赢 means "To win" 蔬菜 means "vegetables" 警察 means "police officer" Pretty easy to write them, ngl ;)
First fu can mean MANY different things like 妇 means woman, this fu 付 means pay. Not just one single meaning, depends on the tone and sometimes two different words will have the same tone so you have to understand them in context.
Well, i really fancy chinese custome. I watch chinese movies, shows. I listen Chinese music. I read Chinese novel. It will be so weird if i don't study chinese for better experience

Some of the pinyin is incorrect. Like pig should be zhu. Also, pay attention to intonation accuracy, like ask should be wen4, pig should be zhu1, prince should be wang2 zi3.
Stephanie Luu Why did they change pinyin? The old spelling was so much easier for English speakers. It's not difficult to remember how to pronounce "Zh" and "q"
Well, it sure ain´t easy to learn the writing system. Learning to speak the basics is not that hard though. Speaking well is, as in all languages, a difficult feat to achieve as a non-native.
I like it that you have shown how Chinese culture has changed throughout the years and that you have the capacity to explain all these characters to us. Thanks!!!
Because it is explained with modern interest, it is naturally not coherent and logical. If you are interested in the evolution of Chinese, you should browse this video. It uses textual research based on the evolution of different periods to demonstrate, this is the correct study. ua-cam.com/video/3X8T5sZhtgM/v-deo.html
I have the chineasy book and and it is amazing! It has been 3 to 4 weeks and I can text a bit in Chinese! (人)"person"(从)"to follow"(众)"crowd"(大)"big"(夫)"man"(辶)"walking"(好)"good"(王)"king" SO COOL!!!

木 that's not exactly the tree , that's means wood ...! 木 = wood , 树 = tree ! I can understand that's earlier to foreigner to learn , and that's the good idea to have the easy way to learn Chinese , but should be the right :)

Hong Konger's comment
我不这样认为，繁体字确实很具有代表性，但是现在的简体字是一代一代的演化出来的，事物总是需要进步的，照你的说法来讲直接学甲骨文会更能理解中文但事实并不是这样的，中国文化讲究意会，由繁到简并不是只是为了书写方便而改的，简 也有其艺术价值，同音或近音的使用从古至今都有使用叫“通假字”，这也是文化的一部分。英文26个字母也是经过很多次的进化才呈现现在的样子的，按照你的理解为了更好的理解英文难道需要从日耳曼语系学起吗？不是。
繁体会认人望而却步.
真佩服你这个华语老师可以这样教华语

By the way, if you are curious, more traditional characters look like what they represent than simplified. So take that into account when deciding which to learn
Ex: turtle
Traditional : 龜
Simplified : 龟
This is great though and is a great starting point!
CantoMando se?
Tge traditional one is quite creepy
May I ask? Are fish and turtle have the same simplified character?
Hablo español y estoy viendo un video en ingles para aprender chino....

What about the Chinese pronunciation?
This is only teaching written Mandarin...
I like it very much thank you. You explain the chinese in a easy way. I want to learn more. Can you tell us japanese? Very-very thank you.

Japanese pronounces "chinese characters" (aka Kanji) differently to Chinese. In the most basic terms, written japanese uses a combination of these Kanji AND two variants of alphabet - Hiragana, being the native alphabet, and Katakana, being a "translation" alphabet used for foreign words.
I would highly suggest trying to find Japanese courses online. :D
I believe the purpose is to allow communication. Speaking a language is not as helpful as speaking the language. If you were traveling being able to read street signs. She also said a lot of the language is contextual meaning that the way things are presented and understanding of culture is required to be able to communicate clearly. So she has given a basic starting place of how the language is structured. I have the distinct impression that without the context of how the characters are superimposed the ability to learn spoken Mandarin would be near impossible because the context of a characters use alters how the words are pronounced. So were learning the context.
Loco Garner Mandarin and Cantonese and Wu and Shanghai written the same
You deserve a Nobel
Hell yes, she does!
Woah, I agree that whoever made this video is great, but a Nobel is too much isn't it?
Seriously, she does. Do they have knighting in China? She should be knighted.
Mauricio Bautista Chinese people learn Chinese in this way in the video
That material is not enough whatsoever. Learning a language is not only about learning words individually, it encompasses a myriad of things. This is an oustanding way to learn but for children, what about adults? It may introduce you a 2 percent of the language, is it what you really want to?
me: 'not being able to remember characters for tree, person, fire etc' Chinese is hard
*sees 王*
me: OMG that's Wang, see I know every Chinese character, haha
Everybody gangsta until you learn that:
糖 means "sugar"
赢 means "To win"
蔬菜 means "vegetables"
警察 means "police officer"
Pretty easy to write them, ngl ;)
Jhxjhxhshxhs yea hshusdhsudhsd
王，the face of tiger
I don’t even know the character for my own Chinese last name. 😶
@@carloslolxd2594 wait do you can say 菜 instead of 输菜 ？
Imagine what it looked like before the editing
And without music
I love this ,thank you so much for sharing. You’re amazing
Thank you, Yuba!

I just wish that you would tell us the pronunciation of the chinese words. I really appreciate the characters, but I want the pronunciation.
Jason Thornt
They're teaching Chinese, not mandarin.
well uh person is ren
tai is too much
man is fu
First fu can mean MANY different things like 妇 means woman, this fu 付 means pay. Not just one single meaning, depends on the tone and sometimes two different words will have the same tone so you have to understand them in context.
not MANY more like 5
but yeah i know its just really easy to forget what tone it is
I never thought chinese could be so well explained! Congrats!!
Hi Mateo,

@@ChineasybyShaoLan You made me realise chinese is not that hard
This is TOTALLY wonderful. I love the way the culture is explained along the way, and the presenter (and video) is great fun to watch.
***** Yep. Nice video. For the time it lasts. Then reality sinks in.
+nominal6 it does not stink
Ha ha. I wrote "reality SINKS in". This is a common English expression. Today I also added: "looks like Spanish customers are targeted."
Well, i really fancy chinese custome. I watch chinese movies, shows. I listen Chinese music. I read Chinese novel. It will be so weird if i don't study chinese for better experience
really ？Where you come from
Wow! This is fantastic! I never thought that learning chinese is so much fun!
It’s ok, but this is only for a start.
Yep chinese is fun to learn. If u are using traditional chinese, the words are like drawings.
When you actually study Chinese in school it's hell
Excellent,easy and a good start to learn the characters of Chinese...thanks !...One wants to learn more using your style of teaching. 👏👍😉
That's so awesome to hear! Thank you! :)
看的入迷
@@祝克 I see something of a sun and people but what do you say exactly. I want to know (English please)
I laughed at "double up too much and you have a wife"😂😂😂 the illustration is very good. Please continue to make more videos.😍😊
Lmao even though I’m learning Japanese this helped a lot
Dj
Yes

Same I'm also learning Japanese
Japanese Kanji come from China !!😊
Learn chinese with your method is easy.
Thank you, Philippe! :)
It reminds me of German. I love the literal sense of the language and can't wait to learn more

but the thing is i cant caught up its hard to talk to native chinese lmao the way i translate things is way different youtube didnt teach informal language of chinese of how people sound like a native speaker like them im too formal when im speaking with my friends
Some of the pinyin is incorrect. Like pig should be zhu. Also, pay attention to intonation accuracy, like ask should be wen4, pig should be zhu1, prince should be wang2 zi3.
Chinese doesn't have âêîôû, but ǎěǐǒǔ
Also the pinyin for 日 is rì not rí, and 月 is yuè not yué
ming2 tian1 is tomorrow, they just simplified it
The problem is the ping yin....This is a really good way to learn how to know the meaning but the pinyin is important too.
Stephanie Luu
Why did they change pinyin? The old spelling was so much easier for English speakers. It's not difficult to remember how to pronounce "Zh" and "q"
I meant it IS difficult.
The symbol for “wife” had me laughing so much, I had to pause the vid!!!! You are brilliant by the way! The most clever learning tool I’ve ever seen.
just like in spanish u have handcuff = wife
Mehhh I'm Chinese... AND GOSH Chinese seems difficult after I watched this...
Green Apple :v mi no saber
Green Apple why do you say that?
Well, it sure ain´t easy to learn the writing system. Learning to speak the basics is not that hard though. Speaking well is, as in all languages, a difficult feat to achieve as a non-native.
can only laugh after reading ur comment
Green Apple Ikr. But the hard thing is that many words have many meanings.
I like it that you have shown how Chinese culture has changed throughout the years and that you have the capacity to explain all these characters to us. Thanks!!!
It seems easy only for the first characters.
The majority are more abstract and complexe.
That's true :(
Most of them are composed with the ones she just showed. Just like 日 月 明，火 烧 烤...
@@陈亦之-w8n yup those are called radicals
Yes, this video is a good start for ppl who never had contact with chinese, but after that we learn that chinese is hard af lol
Because it is explained with modern interest, it is naturally not coherent and logical.
If you are interested in the evolution of Chinese, you should browse this video. It uses textual research based on the evolution of different periods to demonstrate, this is the correct study.

Es bueno haber aprendido ingles, ahora será mas fácil aprender chino (al menos leer)
Keep learning :)
Aprendes Inglés y Chino al mismo tiempo °
If you say so ...
I have the chineasy book and and it is amazing! It has been 3 to 4 weeks and I can text a bit in Chinese!
(人)"person"(从)"to follow"(众)"crowd"(大)"big"(夫)"man"(辶)"walking"(好)"good"(王)"king"

A falta de subtítulos yo también aprendí, jajajaja...
Necesitamos alguien asi que enseñe bien, su pronunciacion se entiende muy bien.
Jajaja yo tmb😂
jaja si
Igual yo
grxiaz a ete vidieo ahorra hblo peorr ezpanol grx
thanks a lot, excellent video but the annoying soundtrack.
it would be helpful if u put pinyin under the English words thx, but of course its a very interesting video thx for sharing 👍👍👍
You're welcome!
I think this is just meant to accompany the Chineasy book where they have the pinyin.
I don't know if it's just me, but this looks futuristic. More characters make more sense to me now, so thank you 😁😁
You're welcome. Glad you enjoy the lesson. :)
"The symbol of fire looks like"
"Fire!!"
"A person on fire"
.......
This is traditional Chinese, not simplified Chinese
I know.
She mostly teaches Traditional Chinese.
In her books, she teaches you both versions at the same time.
Not, this is simplified Chinese
Some are traditional some are simplified like the door for simplified is 门
Shame she only gave the Chinese pronunciation for only a few words.
Wow😯🤔😍😍😍You made it look so simple. I actually learned a lot from this. Xiexie ni🤗
bu ke qi. :)
Fantastic job!... I couldn't read a single Chinese word, 10 minutes ago, and now, I can already read +/- 25 basic words...
Thank you so much...
And your method is so easy, so natural, and so funny...
You made a really fantastic job, Miss...

木 that's not exactly the tree , that's means wood ...! 木 = wood , 树 = tree ! I can understand that's earlier to foreigner to learn , and that's the good idea to have the easy way to learn Chinese , but should be the right :)
best comment ive read true as could be that isnt tree and the symbols have some shift i know Chinese the least but you know whats up hmu
I love how she explains things so well and keeps me feeling engaged. Voice and all. Teach me more!!!
Wow, impressive, anyone have a tally on how many words she’s covered in this 1 ten minutes video?
30+
Who's came here after watching her on TedEX?
This is mind-blowing! I loveeeee it, genius!
Thank you!
