Thanks for putting up with my people, I'm presuming the government is trying its hardest to promote Xi with black/african leaders as to un-brainwash chinese that only know of black people from western media. I'm glad 90% of your experiences are positive though, I hope you can report instances to the gov as feedback

If you wanted to help us,(1) you could have talked SLOWLY ( 2) given us some illustrations etc One would think you were teaching learners how to speak English in a lightening speed...!!!

hii, I am currently learning but I haven’t found any resources that teach how to learn the structure of the characters. In korean i was quickly able to understand how the characters make sense phonetically, but i am struggling really hard with finding some who explains the characters in mandarin. it seems people just expect us to see it and memorize it, no logic. I do not have that capacity hahah, what do you recommend?

Hi, thanks for your video and suggestions! May I ask where did you find videos with double subtitles? Or which extension/app do you use? Thanks!
@thisischanieceАй бұрын
One option on KZbin (if they have subtitles enabled) is to just turn on the closed-caption feature, you can also enable automatic translation. Aside from that Language Reactor is a good extension, not completely free but the free part of it is good enough. It also requires subtitles on KZbin to be enabled, so if you can't turn on closed captions it won't work. Language reactor works for Netflix too, but it's moreso for you to translate each word you see in Chinese, and you can also add words you won't know to a vocabulary list. I should do a full video on it actually, it's a very nifty tool.

I had great help from a Taiwanese professor who taught me the pronunciation symbols that native Taiwanese people use to learn from. It's great pronunciation help. The best solid footing I've ever gotten.

Thank you for telling the truth: “Chinese is not hard.” Some American-born Chinese cannot learn Chinese language well and then make videos to tell everyone that Chinese is hard. Their videos discourage people from learning it. Those people just need to find the effective ways to learn and work hard.

Thank you for sharing this! I love the tip about talking to yourself. One of the barriers I have always had to learning other languages is my fear of speaking to others, particularly in a language that is not my own, and sounding stupid. I barely talk to people in my NATIVE language because I'm just not a talker. I only very recently started learning Mandarin but I've been learning Kazakh for a year and I absolutely talk to myself in Kazakh all the time. ALL. THE. TIME. In my car, in my classroom, at home. Anytime I think of a word or sentence I want to practice in my target language I will say it to myself. I definitely use native language tutors on italki for both Kazakh and Mandarin and I will be taking a structured course in Mandarin through my university. The cool thing about Mandarin is it is a very logical language so, while there is a lot to absorb, having the building blocks solidly in place makes it easier than it initially seems.

Chinese is dirt hard diffcult. There I said it as a Chinese person. So much easier with English only needing A - Z ( 26 letter ) and can make a sentense. Try doing that in Chinese with so much different words. 😂

I understand the pain of non-speaker for learning an tonal language where as most languages in the world. I am a native Cantoneses speaker, so learning Mandarin tones is easy. Cantonese has at least 6 tones. Mandarin is nothing. The Chinese language could make it to world language anyway.

So racist, so disappointing, these people love to animalise us, depict us as inferior fools who have no manners. Oh and of course we're rude and ugly because of our melanated complexions. It's so idiotic!! We're reduced to stereotypes of dancing and singing, which is just pure idiocy.

too be honest living 8 years in a country is more than enough to become fluent in the language. sadly some immigrants live way longer in a country but can still barely speak the language, i notice this is because some people dont try to learn the language of the country they moved to, and they only link and mingle with other migrants from their home country this way they never become better at the language of the new country and only mainly keep speaking they mother tongue, this is how you stay behind in a language! if u wanna learn a language u should focus on having to converse with the locals, at work, social events, daily life etc. just natural way and you will learn and become better ande eventually become fluent.

Hi Chaniece - Great video! I had three years of Chinese in school so I speak moderately well. I agree with pretty much everything you said here. Especially #9, Chinese is not hard! It's pretty easy! I would just re-emphasize something you said - do not skimp on learning the tone of each word. It's not a shortcut - it's a way to end up confused in the long run. On the other hand, if you do learn the tones well, Chinese people will tell you you speak so well. I have one thing to add: It's a little bit difficult to use flash cards for vocabulary because there are only two sides and you have to learn three things - the character, the pinyin and the English. I figured out some workarounds that let me quiz myself on all three things. Anyway, congratulations on moving to China, learning the language and making it work!
