@@sour.skittles I mean I guess it’d depend on your course. mine was a summer school programme so I only really interacted with international students. they were pretty similar to me culturally (ie western) so I didn’t find it to be anything out of the ordinary. the Americans were pretty extroverted. I think if you’re in a class full of Koreans, they’d probably be more reserved/introverted? either way it was pretty chill and everyone was nice

definitely! i find it's not too bad when they're at different levels though, i definitely wouldn't recommend learning multiple languages at a beginner level for example

@@darkhell7639 awh tysm for your comment! :)

awh thank you for your kind words! for english/french, it sounds like you've reached an 'intermediate plateau', where you reach an intermediate level and you're not too sure what to do next to advance your vocabulary. google intermediate plateau solutions and maybe you'll get some inspo! :)

@@dashasdigitaldiaryy thanks

@@LaoShi-y5d my favourite ones are duchinese, duolingo, supertest!

I’m glad you enjoyed 💖💖

actually I’m in my final year of university!

my notion is my baby hehe

@@claudiam9598 that’s just my English accent hahahaah 😅 it does sound different if I’m fully speaking in Chinese. but overall my pronunciation does need some practice so ty!

@@abefroman53 exactly! I’m glad it’s helped you :))

@@jamodix hehe tysm 😁 it’s taken a while to grow out 🤣❤️

@@mai.thoughts duchinese

@@sugarnely thank youuu it’s from Bershka 💓💓

i'm not sure if i mentioned it in the video but there's also an audio option with DuChinese so that you can play the track and read it out loud at the same time - useful for shadowing :)

@@abdullahalnoman7348 hey, I’ve just checked and they work for me! that’s strange that they’re not working for you, but if you want to follow my studygram, it’ll be easier to just search up @dariapolyglot on ig :)

@@abdullahalnoman7348 if you give me the time stamp I can clarify anything for you :) or I can’t remember for sure but I probably mentioned Duolingo and DuChinese!

@@bangtinyseven wow, I did a level Spanish so I already know your Chinese level must be much higher than mine hahahahaha, but in my extracurricular classes we use the ‘discover China’ textbook series. there’s multiple books for different levels so you might find something useful there - there’s also lots of free pdfs available online so you can check them out before you commit to buying one. apart from that, I use either Duolingo or follow the HSK curriculum! I hope that helps :)

hahaha thank you, writing is so subjective, sometimes people tell me that even my current handwriting is bad 🤣❤

​@@dashasdigitaldiaryy Hey, as someone who is studying chinese at university, maybe I could give you some advice on handwriting, the reason people might say it's "bad" (it's not really) is just because it's sometimes pretty hard to read due to a couple of tiny mistakes. For example, you sometimes extend lines that shouldn't be extended, some elements are too big or you forget tiny parts of the characters like in 我 it's supposed to go back up on the 5th stroke and they are also really round which is not that common. Some computer fonts that look very close to your handwriting exist, but it's not that common for people to write like that. So, it's not bad at all and it's already very impressive to learn a new language and to stick to it, plus it's not as important to know how to write nowadays, but if you want to improve that would be where you're struggling, you can watch videos on Chinese handwriting on youtube, there are great ones, I hope this helps

@@vitaliy1858 thank you for your comment! I don’t mind if people don’t like my handwriting, imo it only matters if I can read it and understand what I’ve written. but my stroke order could definitely use some work 🤣❤️

thank you so much <33 i buy my notebooks from TK Maxx!! i can't remember the brand of notebook 1 but notebook 2 is from the V&A museum in london i think

@@dashasdigitaldiaryy thank youu <33

thank you sm <33 the most important thing is that your method works for you! i'm a very visual person so i benefit from bright colours and big titles

as long as you can retain the info you are acquiring, then it doesn't matter how your notes look like :)

thank you for your comment i appreciate it sm 🥰💓😽😽

谢谢 :)

@@CaoShen17 I’m glad you enjoyed my video! please don’t feel any pressure to make your writing/notes look the same as mine, especially at a beginner stage. even I still have a long way to go with my writing :) you’re gonna have a blast on this language journey! 加油加油 🫂💓

OMG REALLY?! 😮🎉 That's great!! Good luck love!!❤😊

谢谢你🥰

you'll have the best time there! Xx

i think it depends on the person - different people revise in different ways! i'd actually been studying for a couple weeks leading up to this exam but i had a summer school and internship the month before so i didn't have as long to prepare as i normally would. but i had a similar approach for hsk 1 and i scored 100% so really it's all about what works for you :) and thank u <3
