Keep these videos coming!!! I am in the 2-3 hour study period, also my work is in the Chinese art market (both antiquities and contemporary). The MB program keeps getting better, and Dom helped me with a sticking point in adding characters. Traverse is excellent! Plus I am on disability, so I have no excuse. I will keep watching this one if I find myself slacking off.
Same! Haha. I think this company is on the verge of “popping,” and I’m a marketing professional who thinks it’d be a lot of fun to work with this brand.
Very good advice. After living in China for over 20 years, then returning to the US, I used reading as a way to keep the language fresh in my mind. Then I realized that reading was expanding my vocab, because so much of what is spoken everyday is not necessarily the same vocabulary. Consistancy, from various modalities, is important in gaining good Chinese skills. Keep up the good work! 加油！
Love your comments & suggestions ~ spot on! Habit is key for all things to be accomplished if that's a goal, I think. Rather like learning a musical instrument...
Lukes video has re-inspired me.. My father was born in Beijing and I missed out on studying Mandarin with him-he never lost his Bejing accent! In 2005, I left Japan Society in New York, where I had acquired some Japanese language with classroom study, and 1/2 staff was Japanese. I moved to London to study East Asian art history at the University of Londons School of Oriental and African Studies. I found I could not study both Chinese and Japanese, so I went for Mandarin, a weekly Saturday class. When I returned to New York, I took classes and tried an online course that didn't help. I have had a "Chinese identity" as. a scholar of China's 5000 years of culture and art, and I have worked at all the auction houses. One day I saw this cool ad, I thought the guy was a Chinese monk because he had a shaved head, was sitting in front of what looked like a temple and had what sounded like a Beijinger accent. He turned out to be Luke, so I signed on to Mandarin Blueprint. I got bogged down with characters by making my "movies" too complicated. I did sort of drop out and went back to French since I lived in Paris as a kid. But now, in 2023, with many excellent new inspiring videos like this, I rebooted the pronunciation course, and I am going to make Mandarin my focal point. Due to some health issues, I am unable to work for now, so I decided to jump back in with a new resolve. Speaking and writing, and reading Mandarin are the only elements missing from me being a top-notch China scholar in art and culture, able to talk to dealers, collectors, museum curators, and auction house specialists!

i like the positive vibes here 😊. nothing was more discouraging than having people says it’s going to be impossible to learn another language as an adult. so thanks for the vote of confidence 🎉
I'm interested in the statement at the beginning of the video about how learning Chinese for a Spanish native speaker is easier than for an English one. I am Mexican and I haven't heard that before! I wish to know because that could help with my motivation.
Watch the same content three times: first with English subtitles & Chinese, second just Chinese, third no subtitles. If you do this once a day along with a program like Mandarin Blueprint, you’ll grow your understanding quite quickly.
When I am slacking I like to just watch some Netflix on Chinese. There’s a pretty cool Bruce Lee series. I use language reactor extension to add pinyin and English to the original. When I find easy sentences I stop and repeat them

I freaking love this channel to the point that I want to work with you if there’s any job available 😂✨ btw I’m a Chinese major student from Egypt 🇪🇬
I like the vision of your channel too !
Same! Haha. I think this company is on the verge of “popping,” and I’m a marketing professional who thinks it’d be a lot of fun to work with this brand.
Thanks! No jobs available right now I'm afraid, but noted :D

Couldn't agree more!

Agreed!

Great to hear this, John :D

You're very welcome!
I am currently down in my journey in learning mandarin and I need these videos! Thank you 🙏
Glad we can help you get back in your journey!
awesome video. Love the identity part of the video.
Interesting point about Spanish...I'm basically bilingual in English and Spanish. How is it that Spanish speakers find it easier? Why?

Hey Brenda, Are you currently studying Chinese?
Love Atomic Habits reading it now!
老師！you are Amazing ❤🔥
i dont get why this doesnt get more views, these techniques are applicable to any language! xie xie, laoshi!
Glad you think so!
Me questioning myself about watching non-chinese related content when watching a piece of content in my second language 🙃
老师谢谢你
Just love your program. Could I ask you to speak slowly specially when it’s a difficult word. Thanks.

You can use the settings toggle wheel to slow the speed of the video if you'd like to slow it down.
Hi Luke, which habit app is it that you mention in the video (@28min 08secs)? I haven't been able to find a good one that has a timer. Many thanks
It is on Apple called Habit Tracker.
Hi, when watching Chinese TV drama What would you advise, watching with subtitles or without? I am a beginner.
Watch the same content three times: first with English subtitles & Chinese, second just Chinese, third no subtitles. If you do this once a day along with a program like Mandarin Blueprint, you’ll grow your understanding quite quickly.
i paused this video and switched my game language to simplified Chinese...we will see how it goes LOL
When I am slacking I like to just watch some Netflix on Chinese. There’s a pretty cool Bruce Lee series. I use language reactor extension to add pinyin and English to the original. When I find easy sentences I stop and repeat them
Hii how do you add piyin and English at the same time
@@Laputaaa can be configured in the language reactor chrome extension settings
I can't agree you more.
I think I am one of the only British 13 year old that is actually learning a language with motivation just for fun😮😅
你在中国吗？
yeah, for now
@@MandarinBlueprint haha,Welcome to Changsha
Wholy shit~ you sent me from this video to you repeating the last one ad nauseum~!
