A wonderful journey. Learning Chinese will be difficult, but you are back to your student days again. Time goes back and I wish you all the best! Love from Guangzhou
Guangzhou is okay and nearby HK and so convince by High speed train from Guangzhou South and Guangzhou East station to HK weekend reach at West Kowloon station.
In a month's time, you will be the best cultural ambassadors in the world! We are all rooting for you, Matt and Julia! You can do it! Forge on, brave soldiers!
Your attitude towards new places and culture is the reason I keep watching you guys. There’s good and bad days when travelling long term but you guys just always seem to roll with it. Ppl sometimes complain about how different or “weird” things or make these “shocking China!” vids but you guys never do that. You treat everyone with the same kindness and respect. ❤
😅😁You are very brave. Despite all warnings from the medias not to take ‘risk’ coming to China , you did it.Chinese is one of the six official languages of the United Nations and the most widely spoken language in the world. China's territory is the third largest in the world, so there is no problem for Chinese people never to go abroad, because China has all the topography in the world. The North and the South also have completely different cultures and foods. Chinese is indeed difficult, but if it is just for daily conversation and communication, you can quickly improve your communication skills with Chinese people in one month by studying in Beijing. I hope you can study happily. have fun!
What a spirit of improvement! I wish you all the best with your Chinese course. For me it would be impossible, I have been studying English for 50 years and I still speak like Tarzan. Haha... I would need 500 years to be able to make myself understood in Chinese! What great news that you are repeating the tour through Uzbekistan! Being part of your first tour was a privilege. Fantastic memories for a lifetime. I am already dreaming of being part of the tour through China... I hope it happens... Love to both from Sasha
I admire you guys so much ! I am actually thinking of learning Mandarin next year, so this was inspirational. Pro tip: After a lesson, take a nap. There’s some neuroscience to this, but basically a nap was found to give the brain time to process and commit to muscle memory what it has learnt. And yeah, the brain is a muscle. Same is done in yoga, when at the end of the class you go into savasana , where you give the body and mind time to rest and consolidate the learning in the body.
Great tip by the way. FUN FACT || we have a big couch at the school (you might see it pop up in some of their videos). We had to rename this the nap-sofa because students just sleep there more than studying, chatting or browsing on phones! Welcome to join us in Beijing next year 💪
Congratulations, Julia and Matt! I would have made the move myself if I were a bit younger. So happy for you guys, be well and have fun in this new journey!!🎉👍
@@MattandJulia I took a French class in college and the professor 100% REFUSED to talk to us in any English. I absolutely hated that style of teaching language.
Have fun. Being an expat living and working in Beijing back in early 2000 for 6 years, I can say from experience this will be a trip for sure. Wangjiang at that time was still considered quit the outskirts then and most of the expat hangout were are east to north east between 2nd and 3 rd ring road.
As a tourist and as a resident are very different things. A lot of new challenges will be waiting for you for sure. Wish you both happy and successful in your lives!
I really admire your dedication and determination in committing to full-time Mandarin study for a month! Keep up the great work! Let me know if you'd like me to respond in Mandarin in the comments-I'm a native speaker based in the U.S. 🥰
What an exciting adventure! 😁 Wishing you all the best as you settle in and embark on this exciting new chapter! Looking forward to hearing about all the adventures along the way. 🏮😊
This is just the start . I am a Chinese Singaporean , am bilingual and so I can understand where you are coming from . Generally , young children pick up languages much faster . If you have the determination , it can be done , regardless of age . 继续努力，你最终会成功。Cheers .
How fabulous! Best of luck to you. I’ve really enjoyed your videos and these on China have been incredibly interesting. I think what’s struck me the most is how clean the streets, sidewalks and parks are. Truly shows the pride in the Chinese people. I’m looking forward to following your progress.
Wow what an adventure. I can see your frazzled brains after day 1. 😂 great language to learn though and I think being two of you practicing together will be an enormous boost. I’m surprised you found time to film and edit a video for us. Tks 😊 I’ve been watching Little Chinese Everywhere and have enjoyed it so much and seen such beautiful places she’s filmed. I’m not surprised you love it there. Bye for now 👋🏻 study hard lol
Matt and Julie , we want to thank you for these beautiful videos especially of China. You have shown us places we have never seen before. It was just breathtaking. 🇨🇦
Congratulations Matt and Julia!!! You know,, you always seem happiest when in the Far East - it always shows in your reports from there (and of course, the Arctic with you Julia). But both of you seem to shine a little brighter in Asia 💎🐅⛩
@juleslowery2030 3 weeks ago Thanks Julia & Matt - I always feel you 're at your best in the Far East, despite the heat. Hot pot would've been a hot bot!!! (Now, if I were a gambling man.... )
You guys are so great! I’m so excited for you and your Chinese language learning adventure! I love learning new languages and I recently just spent some time learning Italian. Wherever I travel, I try to learn as much as I can of the language. Chinese might just be a bit tough for my almost 67-year old brain but I’m just loving watching you go through this. I know I don’t need to tell you this because I know you already know how fortunate you both are!
Not easy to learn chinese but so long you willing to speak / interact more. Will be faster. Dont worry surely will bear fruits. All the best and take care
Bravo, a fun and difficult journey learning Chinese as an adult! Mandarin is my 1st language, Cantonese 2nd, American English my 3rd, and Spanish my 4th. All before 18 y/o! Good luck, si se perde
I've been researching too, I am a Cantonese native speaker, lived in Canada for 42 years, since i grew up in Canada I didn't get a chance to learning Mandarin, nor read or write in Chinese....let's just saying i'm curious as of lately and looking...
We just found you youtube channel today. We binge watched most of your videos today. We are watching from Canada. You are such a sweet couple. We especially enjoyed all the videos of China. You've done a fabulous job.
Hainan Province in China has a separate visa free policy, offering a 30 day visa free period to 59 countries. Hainan Province has a tropical climate with beautiful beaches and the sea. We hope you can explore Hainan
13:49 You guys' reactions are gold! I always knew that Chinese would be hard for foreigners, but it is through your lens that I realize the exact level of difficulty (couldn't help laughing while watching this video!). Keep up the good work, and remember practice makes perfect😆
I once took an intense Russian conversation class. By the end of the day my brain felt the same way you are describing. And...my jaw was not used to making the other language sounds for so long (the full 8 hours in class). My jaw actually hurt the next day. Looking forward to seeing how your adventure continues.
Oh we get you, for sure 😄 It incredible how different languages use completely different parts of the mouth and move the jaw in totally different ways to us right! ❤️
I lived in Beijing for many years and I still want to go back at least once a year. Summer palace, forbidden city, Great Wall, its food, people, and the vibes there… all the best to you ❤
wow great work guys, you're the second vlogger that I know that stayed a little bit to learn Mandarin. I guess you won't need an interpreter for next year as I'm planning to travel to China in September next year too😅😅. Matt would sound better as ma te but it's all done now so I'm looking forward to your next videos.
Welcome Matt and Julia! It's going to be an adventure for sure, and sometimes it won't be as smooth as you imagine, but in the end I am sure it will be rewarding tremendously nonetheless! Here is a wish for the best for both of you!
Hello from 🇳🇴! Recently we’ve been seeing reruns of The Bake-off program on tv and I immediately recognized a participant! Have seen the series before, but now it’s a bit more interesting! Best wishes on your new adventure!
It's so nice to see you both again. Glad that you made it safe. Your teacher was very nice and the other students were very nice also. Good luck in what you are doing. Take care
I so want to come on your trip next year but my dog is ill and i can't think straight. . maybe another trip / another year. Thank you so much for this video . . i think i missed one in all the commotion here so i need to back track i think xx
Wow. Very impressive! I will never be able to stay with foreign families in a foreign country while experiencing language barriers. Good luck with your mandarin class!
Well done guys so proud! interesting to see who progresses faster i think Julia due to being a native Russian speaker.. matt don't let the brits down mate. looking forward to the content.
Julia !! Your English is clearer than a lot of English native speakers. If you could achieve this at a young age you certainly must have the confidence and skill to learn Chinese now. Give yourself time and space to learn . You will do amazing 😊
Like that you two lived with a Chinese family in a local neighborhood. Real China. Very cool. At the school, do they teach you about Chinese culture? Do's and don'ts? I find people from China are super nice and fun and helpful. LOVE THIS STORY! I LUV visiting China... I need to attend that school but .... :)
Молодец! I think you guys will cope, nothing is easy, study hard, and play hard, enjoy the journey 😊 A piece of advice, try using Chinese as much as possible, force yourself, even between 2 of you, and you will make better progress.
You're very brave and really encourage me to continue studying foreign languages. Keep moving and never stop learning everything! If you want to travel to Anhui, you can message me, and I'll recommend some valuable places to travel to. I hope you all have a good experience traveling and learning in China. Take care!
one of my mates spent three months in China as a foreign exchange student and said it was one of the best experiences he’s ever had, and i’m planning on going to China mid next year
You guys are amazing to tackle this challenge. We are learning Portuguese and Japanese To see you so committed Wow !! Thank you for the wonderful tour of LTL Be Well Guys 🙏🙏 sending you much love❤❤ from Harriet, Jim and Yuki
We'll be sure to look after them! Portuguese and Japanese! What a beautiful mix. We are opening our Tokyo school next year. Hope to see you drop in and say hi 🥰

We're going to do our very best for them!
Awesome, now you are learning the language. Have fun !! Take care, thanks 😊
amazing new journey, looooking forwards to your progress

Me too , love following their trips and culture over the world .. thank you guys ❤❤❤
I completely agree!

China is a far more safe place to live than the U.S. or Europe
What a spirit of improvement! I wish you all the best with your Chinese course. For me it would be impossible, I have been studying English for 50 years and I still speak like Tarzan. Haha... I would need 500 years to be able to make myself understood in Chinese!
What great news that you are repeating the tour through Uzbekistan! Being part of your first tour was a privilege. Fantastic memories for a lifetime. I am already dreaming of being part of the tour through China... I hope it happens... Love to both from Sasha

Welcome to join us in Beijing next year 💪
Welcome to China again, and enjoy your staying in Beijing and learning Chinese! I am excited to see your progress in a month！
Congratulations, Julia and Matt! I would have made the move myself if I were a bit younger. So happy for you guys, be well and have fun in this new journey!!🎉👍
I think you can start at any age if your health allows
Good luck in your new abode in Beijing, looking forward to following your experience living there.
That's a huge decision. You guys are so brave.
Thank you so much, that means a lot ❤️🙏🏼
@@MattandJulia I took a French class in college and the professor 100% REFUSED to talk to us in any English. I absolutely hated that style of teaching language.
In what way is BRAVERY involved in this decision? Is Beijing a dangerous place?
@@cosmoobserver3416 I’m ignoring you.
@@OMGFrijoles You are ignoring me by replying 😂
Have fun. Being an expat living and working in Beijing back in early 2000 for 6 years, I can say from experience this will be a trip for sure. Wangjiang at that time was still considered quit the outskirts then and most of the expat hangout were are east to north east between 2nd and 3 rd ring road.
As a tourist and as a resident are very different things. A lot of new challenges will be waiting for you for sure. Wish you both happy and successful in your lives!
So glad to hear this! Enjoy and explore something new! Love to see you having a new start! Wish you well!
I really admire your dedication and determination in committing to full-time Mandarin study for a month! Keep up the great work! Let me know if you'd like me to respond in Mandarin in the comments-I'm a native speaker based in the U.S. 🥰
So happy to welcome you both to Beijing. We're going to have some fun!!
wow, I admire you so much! Enjoy the learning experience and have fun! One month later, you will be able to communicate in Chinese!
Exactly! We're excited to see them progress
Surely you'll learn a lot more about China and definitely love China in the upmost!!!
What an exciting adventure! 😁 Wishing you all the best as you settle in and embark on this exciting new chapter! Looking forward to hearing about all the adventures along the way. 🏮😊
You are for sure the coolest couple! Love your clear, positive perspective on life. Thank you for sharing, good luck🤞🏽 😘😘
