This was the perfect level for me to practice listening! Thanks :) I also appreciate the quick translation followed by the really in-depth translation.
In 1:49, the pinyin for “好啊” is “hao 3 a 5”, but in the dialogue in 0:55, the pinyin is “hao 3 a1”. Please check which one is correct. The female host has some problem with pronouncing “周末”, because she made it sound like “me” for “mo”. In the dialogue, “一样” is pinyined as “yi 1 yang 4”. This is the correct pinyin, but in daily life, we usually use “yi 2 yang4” instead. It would be better if they explain or put a note to explain thiis, in case the audience get confused about why the pronounciation is different with the pinyin.
A better way to say hiking is 爬山, which means to you'll go to a forest or more specifically a mountainous area to walk around. I feel like 徒步 just means to walk around （literally to go by foot）and doesn't really specify where or the intensity of the walk. Even though 爬山 literally means to climb a mountain, the word climb isn't used the same as it is in English, and mainland Chinese use it to mean hiking.
Hello, you can turn on the closed caption/subtitle function in the UA-cam video and there you may find the Chinese (Traditional) option to display the Traditional Character counterparts discussed in the lesson. For more videos with Traditional Character lessons, you may check out our sister channel: ua-cam.com/users/MandarinMadeEZbyChinesePod. Have a great day!
I think that at 4:50 一周 should be yī zhōu, not yí. The sample dialogue’s pronunciation was better than the previous ones that I’ve heard on ChinesePod, but Alice’s Chinese pronunciation really could be better. It sounds to me that she is trying too hard.
Thank u for all of your responses. I know that my picky comments could be really annoying. You have been highly helpful and extremely patient, friendly.
at the time 2:04 she pronounced “和” instead of "跟” （the meaning of the 2 characters are the same, but it just doesn't match the subtitle) at the time 8:54 “背包” “背” pinyin should be "bēi" not "bèi"
Harry is an awesome internationally educated guy and the lady... is just nervous(also pretty hard to listen to her English), Harry sure can handle everything on his own, the lady is a weak teacher but has a great standard Mandarin pronunciation and a perfect voice for audio records. Harry, keep it going, man!
In the last segment for the comparisons. They used Sunday is hotter than Sat. But using same structure they stated Today was not as cold as yesterday? Shouldn't it be today was colder than yesterday? Aside from subject A and B the adjective was changed, but it shouldn't switch it to “not cold?” p.s the guy is cute. I just forwarded this clip to my gf

We're glad you like it. Thanks for your support!
I know I should pay attention to learning more Chinese but sorry he cute 😂😂😂😂

Excelente Gracias !!!
Harry's merriness is making me smile together with him xD
Awesome guys, I really enjoy in your teaching style. Keep up with a good work! Greetings from the Republic of Serbia!
Glad you've enjoyed it. Thanks for your support!
Learning Mandarin with joy! Very interesting language!
Nice teaching... i like this Guys smiley face . Ta Kan qilai hen shuai
The way how you guys present content is amazing :) it's both entertaining and educational! 👌❤️ Keep it up!
Thank you for appreciating!
thanks for uploading this video, 非常有用 謝謝你們
I just found myself looking at harry's eyes while watching this vid!😂 I cannot concentrate studying 😆 i need to watch again from the start😆😂
14:48 wouldn't the correct translation be "Today is colder than yesterday"?
Hi Cla_Disney, you are correct, we will add an editor's note for now and see if it is possible to edit the video. Thanks for watching carefully!
Its really easy to understand and well explained.. The English Pronouncation is also very good.. 谢谢你~
Thank you for your feedback! Any lessons you would like to see in the future?
Because it is an Australian accent.
@@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes ahh i see2
Regarding the phrase 好啊, which is the correct tone? Is it hao3 a5 or hao3 a1?
谢谢你们。你们真的很棒老师都。这课很有意思。
谢谢!
i can spend all day long listening to Harry speaking
In English or in Chinese?
Good and fun class but it's better to speak more mandarin since its an Intermediate Lesson
Love the breakdown of the sentences!
The better to help your learning of the Mandarin language.
At 7:36 you use gen 跟 could also use he 和 meaning ‘and ‘?
ok " Let me see !" So cuteeee
@Betty from ChinesePod Team haha, love you !
Why Alice sometimes pronounce the character 末(mo4) like me4? Is it correct?
Killer breakdown, guys! 真棒!
谢谢你的支持 Ben！
ChinesePod 不客气!
Wow it is easy to understand
Great lesson! just one small bug. at 1'56" the host said 和 but subtitle is 跟
What beautiful people
Omg who is this guy and why is he so cute
His name is Harry.
@@ChinesePodTV He has an Aussie accent lol.
You'll see more of Harry in tomorrow's video. Watch out for it!
@@ChinesePodTV I prefer Alice lol.
@@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotesTeam Alice vs team Harry!
ខ្ញុំចូលចិត្តការបង្រៀនរបស់អ្នក😍😍
for our learners who can't read this, it says 我喜欢你的教学！Thank you, សូមអរគុណ, 谢谢
It would be cool to see a lesson on how to use the Chinese language keyboard.
@Rebecca from ChinesePod Team Thank you!
Alice is very cute! 😀
Which one is the correct tone for 背, bei1 or bei4?
Both are correct, but the meaning differs. 背(bei1) means to carry something on the back, and 背(bei4) means the back.
Like the lesson
Hi at 02:04 I think you made a mistake, the Chinese word written was 跟 gen but she said He 和 instead which is another word entirely?
Regarding the phrase 晴天, can I say 雨天 meaning a rainy day?
Yes. You can use the structure ‘weather + 天’. For example 雾天(wu4 tian1) a foggy day, 大风天(da4 feng1 tian1) a windy day.
I also heard people pronounce 空 as kong1, but in this lesson it’s kong4. Why?
How to say the weekdays in Chinese?
Hello , why don't we say 这些天 "的" 天气 ? Thank you
@Rebecca from ChinesePod Team Thank you I understand now =)

What's the difference between 下雨 and 有雨?
下雨 means raining, and 有雨 is a term used in weather broadcast.
这些天跟这几天有什么区别呢？

Yes. They both mean recently.

He just Has to be a NZ Chinese guy :-) even if he occasionally uses American constructions,...

You are right they made a mistake in the video.
#Mistake

My boots is
it is plural and if we have plural in English language we have to put ARE.

Hi Kalsang, you may check out our more advanced lesson videos for more Chinese Content. This video is for Elementary level Chinese learners.
Harry is more Australian than Chinese. So whatever floats your boat.
He's actually from New Zealand I think!
