Can you give me your WeChat account

I think this translation is little bit wrong. 8.50 这里的天气不是太冷，就是太热。Exact translation should be" If the weather here is not too cold then it's too hot." 但是你的视频很好处。

[@ahmettimur3788]

this is the most useful chinese lesson that i have seen online 谢谢

[@lvd2001]

Agreed

[@Alice_Sunny91]

Totally agree !!!

[@marcofecteau]

truth

[@gabrielschroll3824]

This is a fantastic video! My vocabulary is pretty decent (around 2500 words), but without context and listening skills, they don't do a lot on their own. I knew all of the words in the video, but I'm on my fourth time watching this, and listen to parts many more times than that. I love it. Thanks!!!

You are the doctor, who put his hand in exact pain position and give the right therapy, thank you much.

[@PeterMasalski93]

I took my HSK 5 and passed it last year almost entirely by watching this channel and speaking chinese with the locals while living in China. I did lots of HSk5 mock tests and used Pleco + Android to memorize characters.. This channel is all laid out for you in the easiest way possible. The grammar series and the HSK series are a god send... I don't know how I would have learned it otherwise..

[@LeMouvementNZ]

How did you get on with the writing part?

[@PeterMasalski93]

@@LeMouvementNZ I bought 4 boxes of A4 paper, and 100 pens... and literally wrote down 500 characters a day.. hardest is to differentiate similar sounding characters.. not to mention memorizing Anki Flashcards. It was the hardest part Chinese has straightforward sentences, so its not hard to write a sentence ( no grammar, no plurals, no fancy sentence structure), however, remember the characters is a massive obstacle.

[@awesomebearaudiobooks]

@@PeterMasalski93 You said your wrote 500 characters a day. How many days in the row you were doing it and how many A4 sheets have you fully written on?

[@PeterMasalski93]

@@awesomebearaudiobooks After some time, I realized that I wasted a lot of paper. I bought a small whiteboard (like 50cmx50cm) with a box of board markers (20 markers). And I just lied down on my bed with my HSK list, I would use flashcards to review the meaning and then start writing them big until I could write them in a single motion small. Once I could write them small enough I switched to paper to be able to fill in the exam questions. Using paper will clog your trash bin, I promise you that. I forgot to mention my small whiteboard in my initial post which helped me draw them big at the beginning. So I would suggest - Start with a whiteboard with markers and practice them big with all the details, slowly make them smaller and remember the motion. - Once you are good enough and able to write them small (book size/test size) then switch to paper for essays and stuff.

This is the best free way to learn Mandarin I've ever encountered. Subscribed and donated right away.

[@ahmedjorgeatgmail]

The way you space the words in a sentence is very helpful!

[@teo5146]

You guys get better and better! Incredibly instructive and I am not even half way through. Thank you so much!

[@monzeradil1699]

Why don't u have a million subscriber already I could say hand on heart this is the greatest channel to learn chinese❤

[@ojingaj30]

I appreciate all you do👍🏽👍🏽 These videos are a tremendous help for my listening skills!!

[@AndriLindbergs]

One of the most informative video on Chinese I have ever seen. I'm subscribing with the bell notification! 谢谢你

[@karenwilliams2752]

This is possibly the most valuable channel I have stumbled onto. Thank you mandarin corner.

[@lindsaycox]

A very useful collection of sentence patterns. This takes me back to fourth year university and my Mandarin teacher Mr Wang from Beijing reading from the rudimentary text books of the 90s!

[@ovilianiw]

This is really good. I have been learning from Aileen's videos for beginners for some time. They provide great foundations on sentence structures. Thank you so much.

[@blokenearexeter]

you made a great video - a lot of thought has been put into it to enhance our learning on multiple levels

[@mufa.7646]

This video has filled up so many gaps in my understanding of the language. This channel is truly very underrated. This video is gold for anyone wanting to take a quick dive into mandarin Grammer.

[@jt4369]

Your channel is a true value to the internet. We can't thank you enough.

[@paulcowderoy6403]

Thank you, very clear pronunciation, and slow enough to hear the sounds exactly, and very well structured to teach the grammar also.

[@spencerchun5614]

This video is STILL amazing! So hard to find resources that will actually just go through grammar, what it means, and how to use it. Been learning Chinese for a year and I'm happy I finally found something like this.

[@TheAzn18]

Thank you for posting the English definition, the Chinese character, and the pinyin. Lifesaver.

[@henkka6456]

Still the best Mandarin peeling lesson I've ever received is this very one video. I've gotten to a point where I relax after work by watching this instead of watching Real Time with Maher, I'm loving watching these two and they relax me. What a fantastic job there, Eileen!

[@turkopolethestanczyk]

As a sinology student who started university 9 months ago, this is truly the best online Chinese grammar lesson i've ever seen! It's literally summary of our books. It is even more instructive. Thank you so much. 非常感谢！

[@abishekhariharan9123]

This is amazing content, spoken clearly with pinyin and characters. Highly recommended for the advanced beginner/intermediate. 谢谢你。

[@bluelightsaber1098]

Great video! I love what you guys are doing on this channel and love that you guys make your awesome resources free for people to use. Thank you so much!

There is a lot of rubbish on KZbin but glad I can always come back to this channel to learn my Chinese

[@juliuseko29]

謝謝老師。 你的視頻超幫我學中文。。 我現在在臺灣的大學念書。

[@EBUNNY2012]

I love this. It is great to have the three translations to follow. Thank you for sharing.

[@brandonlawrence5851]

This video is seriously worth its weight in gold. 多谢 !

[@alexanderkhodovets2437]

This grammar and logics reference video is very useful for those who love training because any speech pattern requires one's one effort in lexical extension using words from your own experience and creative approach , not consuming the ready phrases but producing in compliance with the patterns but with your own situation. Thank you.

[@immigratewithjim]

Thanks, I lived in China for 5 years and I appreciate your vocabulary, i am learning more from here.

[@carlyhurst1905]

[@bantuvoicemuchaikinuthia2536]

This should be the best video ever. Nouns are bit easy to learn. But nobody really teaches how to connect one word to the other. I swear I will listen to this video 50 times this two months and probably more after the two months..I'm in love with her explanation ..谢谢 thank s to you that now I can express my real emotions... Right now I can have a conversation but after this I will be holding stories 🤗🤗😘

Thank you so much for your work, this is truly excellent material. And you are very good (and haokan, if I may add) teacher

[@Stuffinround]

Very helpful, much better than just grammar and syntax rules from a text book.

[@AshinAsia]

Thanks Mandarin Corner... of the hundreds of films I've watched in the last 3 months... this is probably the most useful! I wish I had seen this earlier! Your films are brilliant, I only found them last week when looking for listening tests (which are equally good)

[@colinebied-charreton1343]

Thanks. These sentence patterns illustrate how smart Chinese language is to use few words in order to express the most

[@IcyDeadPeople]

This video was incredibly helpful Eileen, you are an excellent teacher! 👏 thank you for all your work on this channel! I've been noticing more and more how common and useful these phrases are. I'd like to share one request - if possible, next video after repeating a sentences a few times slowly, can you repeat it again at a normal (faster) rate of speaking? I'm trying hard to improve my comprehension when native speakers speak quickly (which often sounds rather different compared to when they are speaking slowly).

[@liaminchinese2466]

Awesome video - better than any textbook i've ever had!

It is designed from an insider genius like a private one-on-one lesson. Very focused and tactful for every beginner
