I kinda like this new format. It’s like you got a chance to practice ur listening + reading b4 going to grammar.

[@free2muse]

I agree!

[@michellethong8476]

These are WONDERFUL phrases not taught in most books - but we use them so often! 谢谢·！

[@woodies2009]

Grace, you're talented at acting as well as teaching Chinese, so I always enjoy learning Chinese in your videos!

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you Rio🥰

[@theo5069]

This is really useful for me because sometimes I see these short phrases, and while I know each character separately, I have no idea what they mean together. Very helpful!!

[@PHH81]

I liked the 我哪知道 because we have such a phrase in my mother tongue haha

[@yazars]

LOVE the new style of explaining in Chinese first, then in English! It pushes people to practice their listening skills more.

[@Xiaoming_Swam]

谢谢您姐！ 我是从缅甸国家 我每天在学汉语从您的影片 and it is really effective😇

[@TheSarenarass]

at first I wasn't as much fan of not having the subtitles in chinese as well but felt it forced me to focus harder on what was being said and pick out words I know so that was nice

[@haleydonovan3421]

Grace puts so much effort into her videos for us. I especially love the movie clips so we can see how the statement is used in actual scenarios. 辛苦了，谢谢老师

[@orangewill]

Cool lesson - I like the movie clips demonstrating the phrases!

[@squickicka]

I looooove this format!!! I just look away from the screen for a while when you're explaining in Chinese, and then I can immediately check if I comprehended it when you do the English explanation. This is so perfect!

[@Heiwa_2]

Keep up the good work teacher 💝💝💝💝

Thank you for putting so much effort to make great videos for us--teachers and students. As a native speaker and a Chinese teacher, I also noticed that what I teach are sometimes not what I use in daily life. This kind of videos are very helpful.

[@brianchanhere]

The skits are very funny! Movie examples are great as well. Can tell you put a lot of effort into these. Subscribed 😊

[@genace]

Very practical phrases and I love this new format too! Listening practice is always fun. Not only would we learn the main phrases from the video, but we could also pick up some new words or phrases from when you’re explaining in Chinese. There is extra learning content even if the video is the same length.

[@yana5811]

hi grace! thank you for the video. just wanted to clarify if 不约而同 and 太巧了吧 are the same? and also 难讲 and 不好说!

[@ispeakmandarin]

太巧了吧 is much more colloquial, it's used for situations where two things happen at the same or you and someone else have something in common when you and that person happen to talk about that thing, in the situations like this, you will say :‘“what a coincidence 太巧了吧”. 不约而同 is for written language, and it means some people do the same thing at the same time without telling each other about this thing
