As an American living in China, I can tell you that this guy is the best you'll find. His pronunciation is so clear. He's better at teaching than the Chinese people. I'm also a teacher and very critical. He speaks at the perfect speed. Chinese people always speak too fast or too slow. OMG! You should be charging a lot for your classes. Good luck. I hope you don't mind I left my comment. And you might want to take this video and make a different version with more modern energetic music for when people are not sleeping or they just don't like this music. You can also make a version with no music. Then you'll have more than one video for people to find you. You can take this video without music and cut it into small sections so you have more videos. Great work. Good luck.
Eko Languages I don't know what a VPN is. If it's validation to live in China, I'm actually in Hong Kong. I've lived here a long time and have a very good ear for both Cantonese and Mandarin. So what is VPN?
Eko Languages Actually, I was thinking how unfair this video is to you because your English is also impeccable pronunciation and now you'll have Chinese speakers learning English from your vid. 😂😂😂 Honestly, your enunciation is such a clear and standard form of English that I thought you might be CIA. 😂😂.
VPN means virtual private network. It is a way to get around the internet firewall. But Hong Kong doesn´t need it. I have been there too and liked it very much. I think cantonese is harder than Mandarin too. So if you know both, I am impressed!!!!!
Eko Languages I've subbed your channel. I found all your other vids. Thumbs up, of course. If I come across anyone who wants Chinese or English over the internet I'll make sure they have your contact info but you better charge the normal rate which is much higher than what I think I saw you mention. I'll try to stay in touch sporadically. Love your work. 💜💜💜
I've been studying Mandarin Chinese for just over a week now and I am actually surprised at how easy it is to get the hang of the sentence structure. The hardest part is definitely reading and getting the tones right, but apart from that, I think that I know more than I thought I'd know by this point.
I really appreciate the free “learn Chinese” videos in general, but yours is really the best so far! The content is much more like day-to-day Chinese and less classroom style, and I really like this. But the best thing about your video is your voice. Unlike similar videos made by others, your voice doesn’t give me a headache 😂 So thank you so much!
I agree, there is something about the voice, I am an intermediate student so my understanding is quite limited but the voice seems more like how I expect people speak, rather than "announcer" Chinese.
As a native mandarin speaker, I can tell that ur pronunciations way much better than most of the mandarin learners. I suppose u learnt mandarin in Beijing or some cities in northern China cuz u pronounce 一点 like 一点儿, which is cute.
I noticed this as well! I had to ask a Chinese co-worker (I work in a Chinese owned facility in the U.S.) what the pronunciation should be. I assume both are acceptable, somewhat like a Northern and Southern accent here in the U.S.?
I watch this video as my first experience of learning Chinese, that was exactly 1 year ago. I have grown so much in fluency and am still on this journey. I came from writing like a dork, to memorizing the exact stoke order, from speaking horrible, to knowing all the tones of the characters I had learned so far. Although I'm not perfect, I have reach a massive milestone. 365 days ago is when I first watch this, thank you so much Eko Languages for introducing me to Mandarin. 再见👋.
This was very useful also everyone, please know that in China, native speakers don’t really answer yes or no questions this completely. You can either repeat the verb used to answer yes and bú(不) + the verb to answer no. Do you know his name? Nǐ zhīdào tā de míngzì ma? (你知道他的名字吗?) Yes Zhīdào (知道） No Bù zhīdào (不知道) Exception verb is ‘have’ w/c is yǒu (有) cause you negate it with méi (没) instead of bù. Hope this helps.
I used to learned Chinese in long time but afterward I have to gave up because so busy and gradually I forgot it , Today I suddenly find out this channel I like it and I trying my best to again study , so lucky for me and everybody, Thank you so much , It really useful .
try this, I set it up to start playing as my alarm clock in the morning. So far 2 weeks waking up everyday to it and making coffee, breakfast, leaving it play. I am already memorizing the terms!
Im a Chinese and I am here just because I want to see how hard it is for you guys to learn Mandarin.And I could feel more comfortable when I learning English.lol
Man, ARMY are everywhere these days!! I don't know if I only realise it now since I became ARMY, and before all the random comments about no jams, infires and junshook just went over my head. But UA-cam seems to have been taken over in the last few months, lol, we are EVERYWHERE....
My university has been selected for four years in Japanese, to learn Japanese first look at the history of Japanese history, the Tang Dynasty when China's national strength, the Tang Dynasty capital Changan is now the world's only one in the world population of more than one million cities For example, North Korea Korea (Korea), Japan (Yamato), Vietnam, Thailand and so on are China's vassal state, that time sent to Japan to send Changan to study in Chang'an, that is, today's students, they learn Chinese characters after Changan back To Japan to create their own text, their text, including now there are a lot of Chinese characters, some Japanese words only use the Chinese characters radical, so the Japanese have a pseudonym with the pseudonym of the points, but for Japanese reading is not the same as Chinese , In order to distinguish between Chinese characters, they made some changes in the pronunciation of Chinese characters, but also after the integration of some English pronunciation, but the meaning of Chinese characters inside the Japanese basically did not change, and because the Tang Dynasty capital Changan is located in northwest China, so the Japanese There are some words pronounced with the Chinese mainland northwest dialect pronunciation base Like, some buildings such as Kyoto, Japan are in accordance with Chang'an City was built, very Tang Yun wind, I think the Japanese language is not difficult, if you know Chinese school up faster ~
Your Chinese is great. In Chinese, we normally dont deny twice. For example, if someone else ask you, Can you speak English? In English, we say No, I can't. In Chinese, we say 我不会 instead of 不，我不会。 They are both correct, bur former one is more natural.
This has helped so much! I'll listen to it while drawing or doing my makeup or doing any low brain power activity and repeat the phrases as you say them & it's helped a lot with pronouncition and tone identification as well as conversational use of language! 谢谢🙌
I'm a Laotian, I try to learn two languages it is very difficult, now I found this video it is very useful for me, because I'm watching it I can know both languages, thanks so much for owner of this chip.
Tip: If you are a gamer you can listen to this while gaming. (I say this as I used to spend hours on hours playing games like WoW, Starcraft, WC3, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc etc) As long as the game isn't too fast paced and you can concentrate on the audio while playing then you'll pick it up pretty fast too. If I could go back to those days I'd definitely have done it.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean you speak Chinese. In any case, if you happen to speak Chinese you could give some positive feedback. Let us know if it's authentic and the phrases are popular and well used in mainland China as that would be very helpful. Not the obvious phrases but some not so obvious like for the phrase "take care" "bao ..... (something)" was used and I've never heard that phrase before.
Some useful Chinese words if you're in China. Ni hao(Hello) Xie xie(Thank you) Ni neng bang wo ma?(Can you help me?) Chang cheng(place) zen me zou？(How can i get to The Great Wall?)So if you're going somewhere, you can just add "zen me zou?" behind the place's name. Wo yao zhe ge(Id like to have this.)You use it when you wanna buy something or in the restaurant. Bu(No) Shi de(Yes) Hao(Sure) So that's it:)
I know of the man who spoke for this video! I must say this was the highest quality Chinese learning experiences I’ve had in a while. Great pacing in the video!!
i've been trying to learn mandarin through a couple different sources and it's fascinating how much of a difference the dialect can make! i guess it makes more sense when you think of how different say, someone from the southern U.S. and someone from New England would speak and how there could even be complete word replacements ("pop"/"coke"/"soda", "water fountain"/"bubbler", "grocery cart"/"buggy")...i dunno if i'm looking at it the right way but it's still super fun. especially when you see a word or a symbol in mandarin and can start to predict what it means. that's a delight.
I love this video. I just let it play and listen to it and repeat after the voice. Some phrases are more like tongue twisters as the tones don't roll off the tongue easily. I love how the phrases are repeated which is very valuable as it gives one a chance to remember what it is. Absolutely brilliant video and the soothing music in the background. I tried leaving it on overnight and couldn't sleep as my brain was too active in learning it so I had to admit defeat and turned it off.
THIS IS AWESOME!!! i took i 2 semesters of mandarin and after i lost practice still remembering some basic sentences but my tones are off now and some words are disappearing
this lesson is really very nice.i have being learning mandarin in china for 6 months,you are really better then the native teachers that were teaching me.
i'm chinese but i can't even speak my own mother tounge. i used to take mandarin courses when i was a kid, even til highschool but it was so hard so i gave up but suddenly right now i wanna learn mandarin again . so i'm gonna start hearing this everyday hahaha
Nice!! It shows a sense of support for your own people when you learn the language. I had to do the same with Spanish and it's defintely worth it. I recommend to dont over think it have mistreat thoughts to your self of repeating the same words and rewinding. You'll begin to understand and speak days later without realizing it if you practice good.
This was one of the best if not THE best video of this kind I'ver ever watched. It's exactly the level I need where I know most words and understand the meaning even so I still don't know many phrases and some words or might have problems to understand it without knowing beforehand what's said. It's perfect to learn even with closed eyes just by listening what's going on.
Sarahi Jin Soo Cantonese is only used in a part of China including Hong Kong. But we have more apart from Cantonese, like Minan Language, Jin Language, etc.
I love this thank you miss in kiss a series drama, has inspired me to learn mandarin i hope i can stick to focusing on my goal and come go of my fight to learn with positive results.
Because of my over active brain I usually have hard time concentrating so I usually need some instrumental music playing and you made this way easier to concentrate on because of the background music there ❤️❤️
Congratulations - your Mandarin Chinese lecture is very well done; way better than at many other places. I would also have a suggestion about the visual part: emphasize the Hanzi characters - black, large, whatever - and de-emphasize English letters (this is about Mandarin, not English, right?); also de-emphasize the pinyin letters (a helping tool only, right?). Think of what - I dare to presume - is the primary goal of this presentation: teaching Mandarin pronunciation and teaching Hanzi characters. (Sleeping's optional.)
I live in Malaysia right now.been here for 2++ years and I need to learn it plus bahasa malay.i don't have any friends and can't speak to the locals😣 my husbands family is chinese.im happy I found this!
I watch this video approximately twice everyday. Yes 6 hours daily on average, just this video alone. I like other videos too but this one is my favorite
hi,i am a chinese person who want to improve my spoken language,so if you want learn chinese we can learn each other,my gmail:lai.rongzong@gmail.com.thank you.
thank you a lot . in my country there are no chinese teachers and no friends ,so I am learning all alone . and I found that this is so useful. I'll keep listening to this awesome video till I'll study all of them.😘😊
Mariam El-Rawas omg me too i have the saame problem i live in morocco and no chinese classes are available (well at least in my city) and absolutely no one of my friends know even how to say hello in mandarin 😭😭
The teacher is excellent. I love hearing the phrase at 3 different speeds. Im a new student, but i have always loved the flow of the Chinese languages. Many syllables with the perfect combination of smoothe and choppy. It sounds.....regal, to me.
Of all the views on this video, I am at least 100 of them. This is by far my favorite video on youtube for learning Mandarin. Thanks for posting. Would be great if you could provide a download link, (video preferably). I guess I could get youtube red to download it but I'd rather not.
Thanks for the upload. This is a fine resource for learning some useful phrases. I will certainly recommend you to some friends who are hoping to make a start in the language.
Very good video and lessons, Thank you very much for doing this, it helps a lot!! Only wish I had found you before I went to China And YES to part 2!!!
I would love to see a video for the Mongolian language. I feel like people over-look this very interesting language, and language learning resources for Mongolian are limited at best. So, if at all possible a video on Mongolian would be awesome.
It is this Chinese restaurant I go to since they try hard to speak English I’m trying to learn Chinese so I can make them fill a little bit comfortable.
Chinese is very easy to learn. my head hurts while studying basic Spanish,with its so many conjugations and nouns having masculine and feminine forms. English is quite similar because there are conjugations too,but compared to Spanish, English is not as complicated. Chinese is the least complicated grammar wise!! it has the Subject+ verb( no conjugations at all) +object seetense structure.
miriam tiuseco There are only three types of verb conjugations in Spanish. Once you memorize them it's easy. Well... If we're talking present tense lol
*Definitely!* *The common knowledge is that Chinese is "hard".* *But once you actually learn the logic behind the grammar (which is almost the same with English) and even the characters, it's really much easier compared to Japanese!*
+Solar Smile Try learning russian and german will seem like a breeze. :( 5 cases, and adjectives decline! Don't get me started on arabic, though. Quit that after a semester, but caught a glimpse of what a hot mess semitic languages are.
+miriam tiuseco "Chinese is very easy to learn." Ha. No. If you think that 'grammar' is merely equivalent to 'verb conjugation', then you're right, but it isn't so you're not. For a native speaker of some european or related language chinese is difficult because there are NO cognates, so you've got to start vocab from scratch. Whereas a native english speaker looking at a romance language they've never seen before, especially if they're relatively literate, will be able to guess the meaning of tons of words. But even setting the difficulty of vocab aside. It's simply not true as many claim that 'chinese has no grammar' or 'chinese grammar is super easy.'. I don't mean to be a dick toward you in particular, this is a pet-peeve of mine and it's a common sentiment. There's tons of weird stuff in chinese grammar that takes a while to get a feel for, like '把‘, or '打不开'. Those aren't necessarily extremely difficult things to 'learn', but to get them firmly embedded in your head to where they come naturally is, i'd argue, harder than just i go / she goes, yo entiendo nosotros entendemos. If you're satisfied with expressing yourself with the equivalent of "Me tarzan you jane", or just sticking to simple SVO sentences at all times (avoiding any embedded clauses) then sure, chinese is easy to learn.
I really like it! Sentences are simple and useful! There are plenty of words i know and it’s very interesting when i can find a new word i can learn. Chinese is definitely one of the best languages i’ve learned.
wo yau keyi ci tau chinese😭 start 19HB august 2017 I'm start learning Chinese mandarin. soon I'm gonna teach people like you do. love chinese😘 wo hen AI ni Chinese. soon gonna learn Korean and Japan language.
like it and want a part 2! difficult to believe that it has only 230 phrases even taking to account that they repeat 3 times cause that would mean only 230 phrases in an hour. very good stuff btw.
I love this music it plays wit this Its relaxing ! And beautiful I am not Chinese but I am learning to impress! ❤I start my days very early in the morning when most people are sleeping this video is on point and helps me stay awake !
Yay! I've been taking a class learning this, but I seem to be falling a bit behind. This will be very helpful to me, and I can share it with my classmates! 谢谢!
Thank you I am learning mandarin as an extra language (I'm learning a different separate language too as it is more important to my future) and I don't have much time
I love this! I was taught traditional Chinese, my tutor is Taiwanese and she says they use Traditional along with the Pinyin system. Would you mind creating one for traditional characters
i gave this guys the thumbs up and clicked subscribed , the music is a bit distracting but its peaceful music but still i dont know why people are giving " thumbs down" he clearly talks slow and he repeats plus his vocabulary is not complex and perfect for begginers he should have atleast 50 K likes.. the other You Tube video lessons with cute chineese dolls im sorry you're not going to learn anything ..
As an American living in China, I can tell you that this guy is the best you'll find. His pronunciation is so clear. He's better at teaching than the Chinese people. I'm also a teacher and very critical. He speaks at the perfect speed. Chinese people always speak too fast or too slow. OMG! You should be charging a lot for your classes. Good luck. I hope you don't mind I left my comment. And you might want to take this video and make a different version with more modern energetic music for when people are not sleeping or they just don't like this music. You can also make a version with no music. Then you'll have more than one video for people to find you. You can take this video without music and cut it into small sections so you have more videos. Great work. Good luck.
Thanks for the comment. Do you have a VPN. I heard they were hard to come by these days.
Eko Languages I don't know what a VPN is. If it's validation to live in China, I'm actually in Hong Kong. I've lived here a long time and have a very good ear for both Cantonese and Mandarin. So what is VPN?
Eko Languages Actually, I was thinking how unfair this video is to you because your English is also impeccable pronunciation and now you'll have Chinese speakers learning English from your vid. 😂😂😂 Honestly, your enunciation is such a clear and standard form of English that I thought you might be CIA. 😂😂.
VPN means virtual private network. It is a way to get around the internet firewall. But Hong Kong doesn´t need it. I have been there too and liked it very much. I think cantonese is harder than Mandarin too. So if you know both, I am impressed!!!!!
Eko Languages I've subbed your channel. I found all your other vids. Thumbs up, of course. If I come across anyone who wants Chinese or English over the internet I'll make sure they have your contact info but you better charge the normal rate which is much higher than what I think I saw you mention.

I really appreciate the free “learn Chinese” videos in general, but yours is really the best so far! The content is much more like day-to-day Chinese and less classroom style, and I really like this.

As a native mandarin speaker, I can tell that ur pronunciations way much better than most of the mandarin learners. I suppose u learnt mandarin in Beijing or some cities in northern China cuz u pronounce 一点 like 一点儿, which is cute.
I noticed this as well! I had to ask a Chinese co-worker (I work in a Chinese owned facility in the U.S.) what the pronunciation should be. I assume both are acceptable, somewhat like a Northern and Southern accent here in the U.S.?

AWRaine it doesn't make you fluent right away but it helps. You nee dedication to learn a language
he's obviously joking bro

@Johnathan Holman Do you have Wechat ? I want to add you
This was very useful also everyone, please know that in China, native speakers don’t really answer yes or no questions this completely. You can either repeat the verb used to answer yes and bú(不) + the verb to answer no.
Do you know his name?
Nǐ zhīdào tā de míngzì ma? (你知道他的名字吗?)
Yes
Zhīdào (知道）
No
Bù zhīdào (不知道)
Exception verb is ‘have’ w/c is yǒu (有) cause you negate it with méi (没) instead of bù. Hope this helps.

One of the best tapes I've found on here. I love how the repetition is different speads and not the same Chinese clip copied and pasted 3x. Xiexie!
Of the basic phrase videos I've seen, this one seems more socially useful and the pronunciation sounds very authentic. Thanks!
Thanks! This is very close to standard Chinese. There are tons of dialects. This is considered "standard".
Ruby Gee yes, very authentic!

You'll begin to understand and speak days later without realizing it if you practice good.
Awesome! When studying i find this awesome at night because it triggers the words you learn before you go to sleep.
This was one of the best if not THE best video of this kind I'ver ever watched. It's exactly the level I need where I know most words and understand the meaning even so I still don't know many phrases and some words or might have problems to understand it without knowing beforehand what's said. It's perfect to learn even with closed eyes just by listening what's going on.
time to learn this so my chinese teacher will praise me
saelidoesart same...
Ayy that's why I'm doing this too
Omg yas I am falling Chinese and I need this
I use this often but usually while I’m awake 😉. Thank for making this video!
I'm learning Mandarin even though I would love to learn both Mandarin and Cantonese. Great video. ☺
Sarahi Jin Soo Cantonese is only used in a part of China including Hong Kong. But we have more apart from Cantonese, like Minan Language, Jin Language, etc.
Annabel Guan Thanks for letting me know. 😊
I love this thank you miss in kiss a series drama, has inspired me to learn mandarin i hope i can stick to focusing on my goal and come go of my fight to learn with positive results.
There's actually a very nice flow to the conversation led lesson.
Here in New York City Sunday April 26th 12:23 a.m. listening to it again trying to learn Mandarin 谢谢你的视频. 普通话很难学.
You can do it!!!!!
*Doctor: You have 3 hours left to live*
*me:...*
Enjoy those three hours......
Because of my over active brain I usually have hard time concentrating so I usually need some instrumental music playing and you made this way easier to concentrate on because of the background music there ❤️❤️
Congratulations - your Mandarin Chinese lecture is very well done; way better than at many other places. I would also have a suggestion about the visual part: emphasize the Hanzi characters - black, large, whatever - and de-emphasize English letters (this is about Mandarin, not English, right?); also de-emphasize the pinyin letters (a helping tool only, right?). Think of what - I dare to presume - is the primary goal of this presentation: teaching Mandarin pronunciation and teaching Hanzi characters. (Sleeping's optional.)
I live in Malaysia right now.been here for 2++ years and I need to learn it plus bahasa malay.i don't have any friends and can't speak to the locals😣 my husbands family is chinese.im happy I found this!
This is the type of material I listen to in my car instead of mainstream radio or music.

The teacher is excellent. I love hearing the phrase at 3 different speeds.
Im a new student, but i have always loved the flow of the Chinese languages. Many syllables with the perfect combination of smoothe and choppy. It sounds.....regal, to me.

Of all the views on this video, I am at least 100 of them. This is by far my favorite video on youtube for learning Mandarin. Thanks for posting. Would be great if you could provide a download link, (video preferably). I guess I could get youtube red to download it but I'd rather not.
It useful for beginer learning Chinese. Thanks for publisher
Yes we want part 2, new expression thank u
This is a very usefull educational chinese language learning material for a beginner.
Extremely clear and easy to digest.
謝謝您 老师。。。
I woke up and my name is John, I grew up in California and I love it here 🤔
Thanks for the upload. This is a fine resource for learning some useful phrases. I will certainly recommend you to some friends who are hoping to make a start in the language.
Very good video and lessons, Thank you very much for doing this, it helps a lot!! Only wish I had found you before I went to China
And YES to part 2!!!
Thank you for 432 Hz tuned background music, very welcome.
I would love to see a video for the Mongolian language. I feel like people over-look this very interesting language, and language learning resources for Mongolian are limited at best. So, if at all possible a video on Mongolian would be awesome.
I love it even am intermediate students but this is so Easy to learn..😁😁😁
It is this Chinese restaurant I go to since they try hard to speak English I’m trying to learn Chinese so I can make them fill a little bit comfortable.
This class is perfect ❤❤❤❤
Chinese is very easy to learn. my head hurts while studying basic Spanish,with its so many conjugations and nouns having masculine and feminine forms. English is quite similar because there are conjugations too,but compared to Spanish, English is not as complicated. Chinese is the least complicated grammar wise!! it has the Subject+ verb( no conjugations at all) +object seetense structure.
miriam tiuseco There are only three types of verb conjugations in Spanish. Once you memorize them it's easy. Well... If we're talking present tense lol
miriam tiuseco Try learning German then and you'll find Spanish easy 😂
*Definitely!*
*The common knowledge is that Chinese is "hard".*
*But once you actually learn the logic behind the grammar (which is almost the same with English) and even the characters, it's really much easier compared to Japanese!*
+Solar Smile
Try learning russian and german will seem like a breeze. :( 5 cases, and adjectives decline!
Don't get me started on arabic, though. Quit that after a semester, but caught a glimpse of what a hot mess semitic languages are.

"Chinese is very easy to learn."
Ha. No. If you think that 'grammar' is merely equivalent to 'verb conjugation', then you're right, but it isn't so you're not.
For a native speaker of some european or related language chinese is difficult because there are NO cognates, so you've got to start vocab from scratch. Whereas a native english speaker looking at a romance language they've never seen before, especially if they're relatively literate, will be able to guess the meaning of tons of words.
But even setting the difficulty of vocab aside. It's simply not true as many claim that 'chinese has no grammar' or 'chinese grammar is super easy.'. I don't mean to be a dick toward you in particular, this is a pet-peeve of mine and it's a common sentiment. There's tons of weird stuff in chinese grammar that takes a while to get a feel for, like '把‘, or '打不开'. Those aren't necessarily extremely difficult things to 'learn', but to get them firmly embedded in your head to where they come naturally is, i'd argue, harder than just i go / she goes, yo entiendo nosotros entendemos.
If you're satisfied with expressing yourself with the equivalent of "Me tarzan you jane", or just sticking to simple SVO sentences at all times (avoiding any embedded clauses) then sure, chinese is easy to learn.
I love this type of learning material. Technically speaking the sleep learning material. Appreciate u for ur effort!!
Great video! Keep it up

I really like it! Sentences are simple and useful! There are plenty of words i know and it’s very interesting when i can find a new word i can learn. Chinese is definitely one of the best languages i’ve learned.
wo yau keyi ci tau chinese😭 start 19HB august 2017 I'm start learning Chinese mandarin. soon I'm gonna teach people like you do. love chinese😘 wo hen AI ni Chinese. soon gonna learn Korean and Japan language.
我刚在起床了。我现在会说中文！非常好！
like it and want a part 2! difficult to believe that it has only 230 phrases even taking to account that they repeat 3 times cause that would mean only 230 phrases in an hour. very good stuff btw.
I love this music it plays wit this Its relaxing ! And beautiful I am not Chinese but I am learning to impress! ❤I start my days very early in the morning when most people are sleeping this video is on point and helps me stay awake !

Zenme Yangzi 口交。。。。it means blowjob
Zeme Yangzi 放屁。你根本不是中国人，你他妈别装逼了

Utas😂😂
He is very clear teacher
Yay! I've been taking a class learning this, but I seem to be falling a bit behind. This will be very helpful to me, and I can share it with my classmates! 谢谢!
Thank you I am learning mandarin as an extra language (I'm learning a different separate language too as it is more important to my future) and I don't have much time
Sitting here trying to copy laughing at my own self

Can I have your whatsapp number
Daniel Maina do I know you?
Elisa Diaz no you don't wanna know you am from Africa....creating friends...can I follow you ig

Thank you. Probably, the most comprehensive tutorial; at least for me!
I love this! I was taught traditional Chinese, my tutor is Taiwanese and she says they use Traditional along with the Pinyin system. Would you mind creating one for traditional characters
I didn't study traditional characters, but could probably put them in the next one.
Wow! I am so interested... Lot difficulties for me living in Taiwan. I think this will help.
it is the fourth time i am watching this same video Xd and i think i am pronoucing the words in chinese a little better :)
you didn't count on my cunning
El chapulín colorado ?
you didn't count on my cunning if you go to taiwan youll have a hard time being understood (like the america pronounciation is off)
you didn't count on my cunning
加油fighting
I am learning English:)
i gave this guys the thumbs up and clicked subscribed , the music is a bit distracting but its peaceful music but still i dont know why people are giving " thumbs down" he clearly talks slow and he repeats plus his vocabulary is not complex and perfect for begginers he should have atleast 50 K likes.. the other You Tube video lessons with cute chineese dolls im sorry you're not going to learn anything ..
Woke up speaking Chinese fluently but don't even understand the words I say😂😅🤣
It's useful vidio those of people want Learn chinese
