Terrific video, with a TON of useful information for people thinking about taking up the challenge of learning Mandarin. Sometimes the hardest part is just knowing where to start, and we appreciate you mentioning our program! 加油 (jiā yóu)! ❤️🚀
1) Find a good teacher to not feel overwhelmed 2) Pronunciation is very important - know how to say the word, not just understand it (practice using a Pinyin chart) 3) Vocabulary (textbooks and online resources e.g HSK Academy) 4) Grammar (this is when people start needing a teacher)

@@枢密使 Hello! I'm interested in this offer, I am a native English speaker from California, USA. I don't know how to get WeChat verification for signup, is there a different way we can get into contact?
Informative video! It's really important to know how to start learning Mandarin Chinese. Thanks for mentioning us. And we really like the Chinese songs you covered. 加油！
I totally agree with you! You say only meaningful things. I recommend "Road to success" as a textbook, it's cleverly divided into topics and the vocabulary is gradually introduced in a meaningful way, so it makes it easy to remember. To me the textbook did matter, because it was almost a nightmare studying with Boya Chinese. There was no plan behind it.
My girlfriend speaks Chinese and I speak Spanish, I can speak English but she can’t, so we speak in Japanese to each other LMAO I want to lear Chinese but it’s soooooo hard D:
你好，😀 I also recently started learning Chinese. I had a very big challenge regarding where to start from But now, I've gotten it right💃. Remember, Chinese is divided into 6 HSKs. I recommend you start with HSK 1. I can say more if you're interested. Between late last month (March) and this now, I've been able to learn how to pronounce, read and write 50 HSK 1 characters and even how to use them in a sentence. Its really amazing 😊 And by the way, I also just started my UA-cam channel. It's all about arts, creativity, vlog and of course, I'd be sharing my Chinese Language learning journey on this space😊😀 You can start from scratch even if you don't have many resources. You just need to be determined I'm so excited. I'm also learning Korean as well and I've been able to learn Hangeul and some vocabularies. I anticipate your response friend
Recommend the music being pushed way in the back. At least half from what I'm hearing. We shouldn't have to struggle to hear tones with competing music upfront like this. Rule of thumb: If you notice it, it's too loud. It can sure be there, but if we start "hearing it" then it becomes a distraction. Comment made with respect and love as always JJ :). Keep up your great work - you're a real 'Star' :) Daniel
This was so helpful. From this video I actually found a realizable source to learn all the pinyin and tonal sounds which is what was giving me a hard time. I really thankful for you and this video if you have any other advice for English speakers who are learning Chinese please do share. I don’t have a way to get a teacher so naturally it’sa little harder but this video haves me a few way to make my journey a lot smoother and easier.
hey, thanks! I myself learn Chinese for 2 years and have reached a good level with it! What you're saying is definitely true! Everybody listen up, it's all about repetition!🥰 if I knew this earlier! thanks again, awesome video
To be honest, Chinese is not as hard as you think, But it may uncomfortable for a beginner at first. As there's no changes on verbs and nons, even without tense, So it is your duty to adjuste your speaking habits. Chinese is not difficult, but in no case is it easy as we suppose. I am Chinese, and I also learn Chinese grammar, but it. is much deeper including the grammar of classical Chinese. Hope everyone can do your best to achieve your. learning goals!
@@thequeenamina6100 characters may be difficult, but they are also limited, actually you just need master about3500 characters to understand the Chinese articles
I'm Japanese. I want to speak to Mandarin. I have studied Mandarin for four years at university, but I can't speak and listen to Mandarin. I have already known Kanji but I can't listen to Mandarin.
Hah I was just sitting here going through mt cupboard looking for everything that has Chinese characters on it :P I'm sitting at hsk4-5 right now with reading, so it's fun to recognize the characters on my bag of rice or my Korean BBQ bottles (its Korean but there's Chinese next to it )

To start from zero you are the only one who can help yourself first by learning a bunch of words (vocabulary), study grammar and than just talk to people... You do not need a professional teacher. Your friends who speak that language that you wanna learn will be your "teachers". Teachers are for advanced learners I think... This video is full of commercials/sponsors. You MUST help yourself first because no one else can.
I want to learn mandarín from Taiwan, do you have any resource? I mean I found text books, but like you said I don't want just start with "what day it's today " or something like that 😅 any recommendations?
i’m from hong kong and i’m trying to learn french... and my french classes are cancelled because of corona so i really don’t know what to do since french will be a subject in school when i move to canada after this pandemic 😭 i will be so behind :(
A channel that i would recommend is "learn french with Alexa" she go through a lot of beginners lessons and her explanation is really easy to understand maybe that would help you 😉
You guys who are chinese and are here with no reason, aren't you interested in giving me lessons totally for free?is an big opportunity!! lmao, kidding but...I'm dying trying to understand this language
I learned Spanish to fluency on my own and can even sometimes convince people that I'm a native speaker. But I just started with Mandarin and I can see how down the road I might need an actual teacher. I'm hoping what I learned with Spanish will help me in the learning process, if nothing else.
Yes. Everything you said is absolutely true! I would also recommend, ask a native speaker to check your tones. As a native Mandarin speaker, I feel it is important that a learner familiarize the tones from the getgo to avoid future difficulty.
Yes, Nope, yes but yes From my point of view When someone is ready to talk with a new language? So from the very beginning. Once you learn something you must use it if not it will be loss form ya mind I just like how polyglots study languages and most of them have this in common. You just cannot have a massive amount of input for days or months when you need to use that
I actually have a doubt. By vocabulary what type of vocabulary you mean ? Like colors, furnitures, emotions, etc. Or grammar words and vocabulary ? Or both ?
oceanniez hi! It doesn’t have to necessarily be HSK academy - but vocabulary in general afterwards is really good. If you don’t know of other sources to get vocab (textbooks, free websites, etc) I would do the hsk academy. Only thing though that the hsk academy UA-cam channel uses an automated voice for Chinese pronunciations (which are not always the most correct with tones) so I would find videos with actual people speaking the vocabulary to assist 💗

i was told i was good at languages by my french and german tutor as i already spoke chinese at home and english at all other times... now im an expert at gibberish... really want to get half decent at mandarin as i feel as things are going it will be good for jobs... even 10 or 15 yrs ago.. people were telling me to get half decent at it.... i feel i just need a block of time and devotion.. which i cant find at the moment
I like to watch your clips when you speak English and Chinese because I have studied Chinese for one year but I can speak English and Chinese just a little bit and now I practice two languages together (Chinese and English)😆 我学中文了一年多但是还没说得好 #我是老挝人😆
I have been studying Chinese for a year now. But it takes a lot for me to formulate sentences and it takes me a long time to think about how I should arrange the words. you could make a video about that. I know a lot of vocabulary but I don't know how to arrange the words. Can you help me🥺🙏
你好，我叫索菲亚。我十二岁。我的生日是六月二号。我是瑞典人。我说瑞典语和芬兰语。（我也是芬兰人。）我有一个猫。她叫...Penny(lmao). 我爱她❤️。我的姐姐学日语，我的弟弟也学日语。我喜欢吃苹果和西瓜。我喜欢喝可乐...我爱可乐... Lmao that’s basically me using all of the Chinese I can remember ( I didn’t use any translation so be proud of me lol). But also like your videos really motivate me because it’s so satisfying hearing you speak Chinese..just me?
I dabbled in Chinese during college, I enjoyed studying it as a hobby but I had no real reason to learn it other than curiosity. I managed to obtain a reading and listening level of Hsk3 but never really practiced speaking or communicating because I didn't have a strong motivation to. After college, I ended up losing 95% of the language before I finally figured out what I want to do with my life. I can't really say I regret it because I wasn't mature enough to understand the benefits of speaking Mandarin and continuing on back then wouldn't have been fruitful. Now that I've found a true motivation to learn, I picked up Chinese again 2 weeks ago from the very beginning and have been studying it a few hours each day. I constantly search for videos to give some insight on studying independently. I'm excited to one day be able to communicate with the friends I made in China in their own language as well. Thank you for making content like this, new resources and insight are so helpful.
@@mariajoselicht7770 don't worry, Chinese people very kind, if you speak it wrong, sometimes it will listen very funny, but finally they will correct you, so just say out with Chinese, and they would love to help you
@Logan Wong This is so true! Most people are super understanding and just appreciate that you're taking the time to better yourself! Mostly people are very nice! 😊
My advice is to just listen to more television, radio, etc.... like babies, we kind of start absorbing that information and can better recognize when something doesn't sound natural! It's just mostly an issue of exposure. 😊
I'm just curious because I've studied Japanese before and my teachers always put a lot of emphasis on the importance of learning Kanji. I'm very fascinated by the Chinese language, thanks for your vid!
hey, I think your question is do you need write characters in anyway you like or learn vocab first then write it？We always suggest our students to recognize character first，writing is option if you are not attend exam，hope our answer can help you
My gosh, I really had to read the Chinese subtitles of this video several times for 2 weeks just to get the right pronunciation, increase vocabulary and translate my own understanding and compare it with the English subtitles. It's exhausting and fun. Thank you, JJ!
Im totally a beginner, I dont know why I am interested in this language, really I HAVE NO IDEA. Its funny because since I started learning Mandarin, I find it so difficult. However, since I REALLY WANT TO LEARN IT (even if it is self-taught) your video is a huge kick! It motivates and inspires me more! With your program, I do believe that in 3 months I can speak like a 3-5 year old Chinese kid and by 6 months, I probably can speak Chinese. Thank you for creating this video! I really appreciate it. You are a great help!
Hi,I am a Chinese teacher,from now on,I am preparing my IELTS exam, I'd like to find a native speaker I can help you with Chinese,trust me I will do my best to help you,as return plz help me with my English,plz give me some reaction,I was struggle with my poor vocabularies.
U are my inspiration for real my mother tongue is Portuguese and see you speaking so perfectly Chinese is a dream to me!! I hope one day I could talk to someone in mandarin too 💜
Hello JJsays, I just came across your video and I found it to be really informative and everything you have said makes sense. Very inspirational too!!! When you mentioned to learn the sounds with the Pinyin chart, does that include the meaning too or just start with the sounds? Thanks
This will be day 1 of learning Chinese will be putting 100% dedication into learning this language and hopefully by this time next year I will be be able to understand so much more!

I had a very big challenge regarding where to start from
But now, I've gotten it right💃.
Remember, Chinese is divided into 6 HSKs. I recommend you start with HSK 1. I can say more if you're interested. Between late last month (March) and this now, I've been able to learn how to pronounce, read and write 50 HSK 1 characters and even how to use them in a sentence. Its really amazing 😊
And by the way, I also just started my UA-cam channel. It's all about arts, creativity, vlog and of course, I'd be sharing my Chinese Language learning journey on this space😊😀
You can start from scratch even if you don't have many resources. You just need to be determined
I'm so excited.
I'm also learning Korean as well and I've been able to learn Hangeul and some vocabularies.
I anticipate your response friend
@@bubuscreations7718 Thank you for your reply. I am encouraged to progress with learning Chinese even if I can only practice weekly. I currently studying French and will continue with this. I will follow your Chinese learning as encouragement for me. Good luck in your language learning.
@@lisagurran5472 I wish you good luck as well 🤗
I also learnt French to some extent since last year. Still at the intermediate level though. But I want to go far with Chinese first before I commence studying both together.
All the best friend
pronounciation is very important,i think you are right
my god,too ,good,your chinese is good,come from china
看到了你的视频，我觉得你很令人振奋! 我也在学习中文，HSK4级。学习的时候我常常想一想我的学习中文的目的是什么，我原来是学习因为我好想跟我的 远祖想通，不过学习的路上我丢失动力很多次了。在我的生活环境找到会说中文的人不容易，所以我又没有进步又无聊。那，我想问你的学习中文的目的是什么？希望对你会学没有写在书上的事情，谢谢!
我就是会说中文的人哈哈哈，你可以跟我聊天，也许我能帮你提高你的汉语水平
你的中文实在太棒了！我个人的话非常喜欢用Hallotalk来学习语言😀👍
谢谢Becca! 我刚刚看了你的一个视频... 我有点好奇... 你说的是德语吗？😊😊😊
@@jjsaysnyc对的我说的是德语，因为现在暂时在德国生活
you have convinced me to try to start learning mandarin!!! thank you so much!

How to remember tone of every chinese word?
Hello, mam, I want to learn but I have no idea
Thanks for this sharing teacher :)
wow that's really pretty cool
The library has free books.
Thank you, I’m all talked out.
Hahaha, I guess I do talk a lot, huh? 😂😂😂
italki,language website
i was told i was good at languages by my french and german tutor as i already spoke chinese at home and english at all other times... now im an expert at gibberish... really want to get half decent at mandarin as i feel as things are going it will be good for jobs... even 10 or 15 yrs ago.. people were telling me to get half decent at it.... i feel i just need a block of time and devotion.. which i cant find at the moment
I like to watch your clips when you speak English and Chinese because I have studied Chinese for one year but I can speak English and Chinese just a little bit and now I practice two languages together (Chinese and English)😆
我学中文了一年多但是还没说得好
#我是老挝人😆
I need more vlog in chinesee!! Btw, like how informative your videos are😄
You really helped me a lot.
pinyin vs latin alphabet
I have been studying Chinese for a year now. But it takes a lot for me to formulate sentences and it takes me a long time to think about how I should arrange the words. you could make a video about that. I know a lot of vocabulary but I don't know how to arrange the words. Can you help me🥺🙏
你好，我叫索菲亚。我十二岁。我的生日是六月二号。我是瑞典人。我说瑞典语和芬兰语。（我也是芬兰人。）我有一个猫。她叫...Penny(lmao). 我爱她❤️。我的姐姐学日语，我的弟弟也学日语。我喜欢吃苹果和西瓜。我喜欢喝可乐...我爱可乐...
Lmao that’s basically me using all of the Chinese I can remember ( I didn’t use any translation so be proud of me lol).
But also like your videos really motivate me because it’s so satisfying hearing you speak Chinese..just me?
Very informative
Why there is no pinyin
谢谢你
Thank you so much for your advice 😊
是不是恰饭了哦？
I dabbled in Chinese during college, I enjoyed studying it as a hobby but I had no real reason to learn it other than curiosity. I managed to obtain a reading and listening level of Hsk3 but never really practiced speaking or communicating because I didn't have a strong motivation to. After college, I ended up losing 95% of the language before I finally figured out what I want to do with my life. I can't really say I regret it because I wasn't mature enough to understand the benefits of speaking Mandarin and continuing on back then wouldn't have been fruitful. Now that I've found a true motivation to learn, I picked up Chinese again 2 weeks ago from the very beginning and have been studying it a few hours each day. I constantly search for videos to give some insight on studying independently. I'm excited to one day be able to communicate with the friends I made in China in their own language as well. Thank you for making content like this, new resources and insight are so helpful.
Beginners might find learning 文言文 useful
trollolololol 😂😂😂
I love 文言文 tbh, cant wait to learn about it in depth at the university 😅😂
好厲害❤️❤️
Hi! Could you give more tips on how to memorize and say tones better? Also in which university did you study in china?
the best way to remember is speak it everyday with Chinese people
Logan Wong it’s so hard tho! Like I can replay the tones in my head but when I speak they just come out wrong!!!
@@mariajoselicht7770 don't worry, Chinese people very kind, if you speak it wrong, sometimes it will listen very funny, but finally they will correct you, so just say out with Chinese, and they would love to help you
@Logan Wong This is so true! Most people are super understanding and just appreciate that you're taking the time to better yourself! Mostly people are very nice! 😊
My advice is to just listen to more television, radio, etc.... like babies, we kind of start absorbing that information and can better recognize when something doesn't sound natural! It's just mostly an issue of exposure. 😊
Easy peasy huh?
You didn't say anything about learning Chinese characters, why? Beginners shouldn't bother to learn them from the get go?
I'm just curious because I've studied Japanese before and my teachers always put a lot of emphasis on the importance of learning Kanji.
I'm very fascinated by the Chinese language, thanks for your vid!
PuzzleMessage I believe when you get to the memorisation of vocabulary you also start memorising and practicing how to write the characters!
Hello,
hey, I think your question is do you need write characters in anyway you like or learn vocab first then write it？We always suggest our students to recognize character first，writing is option if you are not attend exam，hope our answer can help you
Unfortunately I'm not rich enough to aford a private teacher 😢😭
My gosh, I really had to read the Chinese subtitles of this video several times for 2 weeks just to get the right pronunciation, increase vocabulary and translate my own understanding and compare it with the English subtitles. It's exhausting and fun. Thank you, JJ!
Do you know how to write Chinese?
請問一下，妳會寫漢字嗎❓
你好！我很喜欢你的all videos❤️😁😁😁really very easy peaesy 👌🤣🤣🤣🤣谢谢你💕
Im totally a beginner, I dont know why I am interested in this language, really I HAVE NO IDEA. Its funny because since I started learning Mandarin, I find it so difficult. However, since I REALLY WANT TO LEARN IT (even if it is self-taught) your video is a huge kick! It motivates and inspires me more! With your program, I do believe that in 3 months I can speak like a 3-5 year old Chinese kid and by 6 months, I probably can speak Chinese.
Thank you for creating this video! I really appreciate it. You are a great help!
Hi,I am a Chinese teacher,from now on,I am preparing my IELTS exam, I'd like to find a native speaker I can help you with Chinese,trust me I will do my best to help you,as return plz help me with my English,plz give me some reaction,I was struggle with my poor vocabularies.
U are my inspiration for real my mother tongue is Portuguese and see you speaking so perfectly Chinese is a dream to me!! I hope one day I could talk to someone in mandarin too 💜
Portugues também é a minha primeira língua e vou aprender chines. Como estão a correr os teus estudos?
I'm a junior school student from China,and i can unederstand what you said when you spoke Chinese.加油。
Hello JJsays, I just came across your video and I found it to be really informative and everything you have said makes sense. Very inspirational too!!! When you mentioned to learn the sounds with the Pinyin chart, does that include the meaning too or just start with the sounds? Thanks
Hi JJsays, what HSK level do you have? what HSK do I need to be fluent in the language? thanks!
I learnt how to sing two Chinese songs with YOYO Chinese academic
the best way is get a Chinese boyfriend LOL
TRUST ME , DOESN'T HELP 😂
or a chinese friend lmao
well,
if possible...
@@ivy9142 u gotta be cute looking ~
This will be day 1 of learning Chinese will be putting 100% dedication into learning this language and hopefully by this time next year I will be be able to understand so much more!
Great video. But in future please stop running Chinese "Patriotism Business". Chinese needs truth instead of compliments.
Thanks for your tips, I started learn Chinese ✨❤️
My social anxiety could never with the video calling
