Thank you, Shirley! You make it easy to understand and this helps reinforce the character with the pronunciation.

What is the hardest chinese word to pronounce and could you make a video?

[@MatiasGeraldoThe2nd]

So fiiiiine doh 🥰

[@gacha.inxiiy]

Ok nice

[@flymiffy1173]

It's a nice lesson. But do you have tips for remembering the characters?

[@TraditionalChinese]

Perhaps you can try and remember the characters by looking at the radicals they are made up of.
For 你, the left side is 亻rén meaning person, and 尔 ěr meaning that or you.
For 好，the left side is 女 nǚ meaning woman, while the right side 子 zi means son or child. From the point of view that continuing family lines is very important, when a woman has a child it is a good thing. So therefore, you can connect the radical components of 好 to the meaning of the character, which is "good".

[@flymiffy1173]

@@TraditionalChinese That is so interesting, thanks!

[@ibrahimozturk0671]

@Rebecca from ChinesePod Team get that part, he says if we wanted to say "hi, how are you?" how can we say, like should we repeat the ni hao part or something different?

[@ibrahimozturk0671]

@Rebecca from ChinesePod Team thank you!

[@ALoonwolf]

I'm confused why you don't use the third tone, you just say the words??!? Do we use the tones or not?

[@ALoonwolf]

Before a 1st, 2nd or 4th tone, the 3rd tone is pronounced as a low, falling tone
Before another 3rd tone, the first 3rd tone is changed into a 2nd tone (Ni/hao\_ EXACTLY AS PRONOUNCED!)
In final position, the 3rd tone is often (but not always) realised as a low, falling tone
In isolation or when stressed, the 3rd tone is usually pronounced as a falling-rising tone

[@TraditionalChinese]

Hi Aloonwolf, actually Shirley is saying the words with tones, she is just not over-emphasising them. In daily life the tone sounds are quite subtle.
