[@deontesampson1991]

Thank you for making such an awesome platform for us tiny little mandarin learners it's so crazy how long you've been making videos time surely flies but I'm so proud of you you've came a long way & I'm So happy for you! It's a blessing to have such a great guide on this journey it's been a great trip so far let's keep going! we love you to the moon & beyond Grace! 😘❤️❤️❤ #Grace4president #ingracewetrust #no debate #before&after #deadplant #fuzzysweaters😄

[@dqbradford]

Grace, I wanted to add to my other comment that I made earlier because I was on a plane in Washington DC about to take off when I posted it. I didn’t have time to finish. I want to thank you for your dedication and hard work in your videos - they are stellar. What distinguishes you from all others is the exactness and attention to detail in your content. It’s precise, accurate, and so helpful. I’ve found it so easy to learn from you, and that takes a special talent. When I have questions about the dynamics and peculiarities of the Chinese language, you’re able to answer them. Your ability to go back and forth in excellent English while teaching us Chinese is priceless - and your English is perfect. You’re an extraordinary teacher, and I’m very thankful for what you do to help all of us learn Chinese. You are an extremely important part of my Chinese learning. I know you’re in graduate school full time, which makes your videos even more special. Spending time with us through these videos when you must have so much school work to do is so unselfish of you. You post whenever you can while getting some rest, and I can assure you that I for one will always be there to watch your videos. You’re an extraordinary young woman and one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure to learn from. Thank you for that, and thank you for who and what you are. I am humbled, thankful, and honored to watch your videos and learn Chinese from you. As to reaching the 200,000 subscriber mark, that just means that 199,999 other people besides me have figured out what I have - you’re the best Chinese teacher on the planet and a wonderful person. You’re awesome, Grace! Humbly, Daniel ❤️

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Hi Daniel, I am absolutely touched by your kind words and support. I'm so glad that you find my content helpful and easy to understand, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you and others learn Chinese. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and encouraging comment. It truly means a lot to me, and I hope to continue to provide you and other learners with helpful language learning content. ✨

[@georgeherzog5929]

I certainly understand the huge amount of production time for each minute of a good video. The higher quality is part of what makes your lessons so precious. Thanks.

[@christinawang7000]

Please make more videos that are completely in Chinese. Thank you!

[@JS-lm7ry]

I've been using your video's Subtitles to learn Chinese since you uploaded this video: by repeating out loud exactly what you say... And now Chinese is Muscle Memory (non-stop practice!) and I can understand you on Normal Speed! I just re-watched this video and understand EVERYTHING!

[@JS-lm7ry]

Step 1: Extract the subtitles from video (Use: inspect element) Step 2: Save literally every single line (time-consuming but necessary and worth every moment in the end!) Step 3: Paste to Google Translate and read along the Pinyin Step 4: Repeat aloud every single thing Grace says ***with her*** (this makes the words become *muscle memory* and the sounds & words become understood by your brain quickly, mimicking is the key!) Step 5: After these steps, begin understanding word definitions, the same exact way we learned our first language (hear+repeat first, concern yourself with understanding word definitions later) Enjoy!

[@woodies2009]

I really appreciate that you've been making great efforts for years to make such helpful videos for us, Grace. I can't really thank you enough.

You've always been dedicating yourself wholeheartedly and is an inspiring teacher. Sending Oprah Winfrey 's quote as a congratulation to your 200k milestone! “I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. ” I hope more people discover and see how wonderful your channel is ❤

Thanx again for sharing your language learning and culture with us.

[@dqbradford]

Grace, I’m so proud of you. You’re a wonderful person and stellar teacher. You enhanced my life and Chinese learning adventure. I Love it when great things happen to beautiful and talented people like you. You are a cornerstone for me and learning this difficult language. And yes, I’ve watched your videos for years. 😊. Congratulations on meeting this milestone. It’s so well deserved and couldn’t happen to a better person. I’m so proud of you. So well done, Grace. You have my admiration. Humbly, Daniel. ❤️

[@ogfoxhound]

5:00, always loved that method of sentence forming in your early videos. It makes it much easier to distinguish words from each other and find parts of the sentence that have moved [due to non SVO structure perhaps.] I bet it takes some time but I'm sure you could streamline the process. Thank you for mentioning that, I do miss it.

[@tronix4732]

Congrats !!

[@janiebondoux2736]

Amazing! Congratulations!!!🥳 Thanks so much for making videos even though you’re very busy. Please make sure to take care of your health too. I remember first finding your channel during the pandemic. I think that’s when many people tried studying new languages lol. Learning from your videos really helped keep me sane during those hard times. I’m busier now than I was back back then but I still try watching your new uploads whenever I get the chance. So proud to see you now at 200K subscribers!! 🎉 I hope you continue to grow!!

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you! I can see that you're busier now. I really appreciate you still take the time to watch my videos and give me feedback! I'm so lucky to have you here!

Congratulations on your achievement! We appreciate all of your effort and candidness. You have made noticeable progress with your English pronunciation 😊 I'll be traveling to Taiwan this summer, so if there's something from the US that you miss, I'd be happy to bring it for you.

I do miss it... but at the same time I rather just have the sentence and the translation because then I'm challenged to make the connection between the words myself. CONGRATS ON 200K!! Here's to 500K in the future!

[@andypierce6593]

😮 謝謝你叫我們這個。 我覺得你較很有用的比如說slang, etc. For me KZbin is more for listening practice and occasional explanation of complex topics, which your channel does very well. Also, as someone who is not in a Chinese speaking country, the suggestions for TV shows and podcasts are very helpful, because that way it’s easier to get exposure.

中文10级（以下语句的区别是什么？）：😁 1、冬天：能穿多少穿多少； 夏天：能穿多少穿多少。 2、剩女产生的原因有两个：一是谁都看不上；二是谁都看不上。 3、地铁里听到一个女孩大概是给男朋友打电话：“我已经到西直门了，你快出来往地铁站走。如果你到了，我还没到，你就等着吧。如果我到了，你还没到，你就等着吧。” 4、单身人的来由：原来是喜欢一个人；现在是喜欢一个人。 5、小明明明明明白白的，却假装不明白。 6、今天下午我骑车差点摔倒，好在我一把把把把住了。 7、我不喜欢我喜欢的人喜欢我不喜欢的人，更不喜欢我不喜欢的人喜欢我喜欢的人。 8、中国有两种球，一种是乒乓球，一种是足球，一个谁也打不过，一个谁也打不过。
