Ugh chinese is hard for me.idk why i just forget how to write the most simple words

We can even say 13th month like shi san yue😂😂 while in English no

Chinese languange system is easy except the number of their word and "how to pronounce them"

learned yue is moon thanks to cardcaptor sakura

My Chinese students always complained: Why name everything? Can you just number like we do?

Yes easy, but overall, Chinese has been 1000x harder to me than English😂

Благодаря 👍

Its written the almost same way in Japanese 一月 Ichigatsu 二月 Nigatsu 三月 Sangatsu 四月 Shigatsu 五月 Gogatsu 六月 Rokugatsu 七月 Shichigatsu 八月 Hachigatsu 九月 Kugatsu 十月 Jugatsu 十一月 Juichigatsu 十二月 Junigatsu

Makes my brain happy

Nobody says I want to eat a lot of rice in Chinese.

很好，谢谢你。❤

Use multiplication table 背成述表以后你的心理算术是很厉害的。

Tai Halo Le

Wow

Also Hebrew

I litterally agree with you!!!!😅 I must stop using it now! I haven't made any progress in my learning process!

Благодаря 👍

unlike Japanese, you don't change pronounciation👍

100 =Bai : 百， 1000 ＝ qian: 千，10000 ＝wan ：萬

Finally I got it

Băi! Băi 'er shí wŭ 225?

That's considered to partially explain why Chinese are so good at math

well... after 99 you need 百，千， 万 to get to 99999. Also you need to know 零/〇 for zero to say years

My chinese friend taught me that before when i was 11 it was really useful and i think you should put 0 😅

It's like saying "Dang, once I finish working 3 jobs at once in 40 years, I will buy a house easily".

Badmouthing an app which provides a free language resource to people like me who wouldn't afford the basics any other way, it has allowed me to try out so many languages and zero in on the ones i find my brain works best with! I know others who only do 1 language on duolingo and its more like a game in that sense but the gamifying the repetitive stuff has actually kept me coming back to it because i couldn't write it over and over with the arthritis in my hands so having thr app has felt like language learning is more accessible than ever before! Yes i don't just do the app but doing the app gave me the confidence to understand how i learn and how to go about teaching myself better, i buy 2nd hand books now and the thing I've found that's helped me improve thr most is watching shows i enjoy only in the language I'm currently studying and that has helped more than anything... But duolingo helps keep me consistent and reminds me to practice every day which in turn makes you more likely to keep studying in other ways, like sticking a podcast on! Language resources are shocking in the UK and we don't put any value in learning any other languages which is just appalling, growing up thr language you learn depends on where you live and what school you go to in Scotland (i cant say about England) so it's a post vode lottery that decides thr language for you or if you even get a regular language teacher. Learning a language always costs so much so we can't be crapping on one of the few good free resources we have 😔

There's a theory in Greece that the Aegean Sea was named that because the white foam of the waves looked like sheep. Maybe that could also explain the 'ocean' word? Sounds cool, even if it probably isn't true.

The zh of your 着 needs to be retroflex

Cú (same pronunciation) means assh*le/anus in Portuguese 😅

哭闹is more like a meltdown tantrum.

I might disagree with that, just because I consider Duolingo as a good introductory tool into a language. Yet, I finished Duolingo German course and didn't become fluent at all, though it has completely changed the perspective on how I feel the language I've never knew before. So I went on getting to know Chinese with Duolingo, and even now it doesn't sound and look like gibberish anymore. By the way, the language I write this message in is also not my native, and it took me over ten years of practice from scratch to fluent. So I would stick to the same way if learning, and Duolingo is a good starting point 👍

哭泣 哭闹 爱哭鬼😢😢 流泪 猫哭耗子

The way you explain character by character is fantastic, thanks for all!

❤❤❤❤❤

😍

Duolingo used to have comprehensive grammar lessions in each course, but they either removed them completely or hid them to the point where I can't find them. Duolingo is good for learning words and syntax but it needs to be supplemented with other sources.

I love this daily learning boost! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making and editing these shorts :)

absolute love your shorts. I watch them all... Xiexienin laoshi!

I remember Joan cena when he said beingjiling 😂

❤

You know the principles of Chinese character more than I do. Well done.
