Ok “放假去哪里玩啊?” Is such a cute way of asking about holiday plans because it uses 玩! That’s so neat!

They use “play” so much and I was so confused when first hearing it but yeah it’s extremely frequently used

I just came back from a 2 week assignment to China, even going through Changsha and Zhuzhou. Your classes definitely helped me get through and even though we had translators provided by our local office I could probably understand 50% of what our business contacts were trying to say. Thank you!

Glad that I can understand and use both English and Mandarin although my mother tongue is none of them. I love languages and I hope I can be a polyglot one day ❤ 其实我的外语能力还要提高提得多，因为我觉得我的表达能力还是有限的。很多时候我想用外语表达我想说的话但是有点难的，而我却没有那么好的条件去外国练习语言，因此我挺喜欢在KZbin上看你们母语者人说说话。

Shuo, I'm a big fan and love all your videos, but this is my favorite one. I would love it if you had a whole series like this for various themes. 50 useful native-sounding sentences for shopping, sports, dating, school, the office etc. I would watch them all many times!

[@gnostie]

That's exactly what's needed, ready-made sentences to get used to hearing and pronouncing. All the rest of studying is much less useful in comparison if the goal is to speak and understand living speech of normal Chinese people. Thank you, Shuo, for this common-sense move. Hope you record many more useful videos like this one.

[@duozuo]

This is like a phrasebook, only covering topics more in depth, since we're all students. Love it! 你叫什么名字？might be weird grammar when compared to English, but it isn't any weird when you approach it from Spanish, actually it's quite straightforward: 你 (te) 叫 (llamas) 什么 (cuál) 名字 (nombre). The direct translation sounds broken (the usual sentence would be «¿cómo te llamas?»), however it's 100% understandable. The more languages you speak, the easier is to understand new ones. 😃

[@julienvincenot7974]

This is the way ! Very similar to the Glossika method I’ve been using every single day the past 3 months (I guess similar method, even building your own phrases decks works as well, not an ad 😅). Saves my life especially now I live in China ! It really helps with listening comprehension, absorbing grammar patterns and liberating speech which is always intimidating. Most important is to pronounce the phrases immediately after at least 2-3 times, to practice pronounciation and flow just like a music instrument 🎶

This is a great video. I'm just starting my learning journey. I really appreciate this video and the hard work you put into it, but I was wondering if there is a similar video like this, but that also includes the English meaning spoken? Most of my learning is done by listening to videos while I'm working and I am not able to look at the English phrase on the screen.

Hi Shuo, can you make more videos like this? It’s a very nice and helpful way to become familiar with casual Chinese speech. I’m certain you would get at least 30 views per video just from me aha

[@CynicalCryptid]

I don't think I've seen it on your channel but do you have suggestions for people with speech impediments (incurable) on how to be better understood? I've never been able to shake my speech impediments in my native tongue despite working with professionals for 15+ years so I dont think it would get any easier in Chinese. Also has anyone ever told you, you remind them of the talented and cool 许杨玉琢? Especially when she participated in 金曲青春 EP6.

After learning Spanish, I find Chinese extremely easy to understand, it is spoken very slowly and clearly.

[@marcuschen786]

[@YesuAiNimen]

That's the key...........hanging out with native speakers who speak slowly enough. Most of my Chinese friends speak too quickly a great deal of the time.

[@DiarioJagiya123]

Real Chinese speak very fast, at least, here in the city of China where I am living

[@jamesjames4652]

I could not disagree more. After learning to speak Spanish fluently and then starting to learn Chinese, I began to think of Spanish and English as two dialects of the same language.

[@jaxonmattox9267]

@@jamesjames4652 They have more similar vocabulary, but the similarities mostly end there. Chinese verbs aren't conjugated, English verbs are usually not conjugated, spanish uses plural markers (idk wtf its called) like "las manzanas" so plural stuff is twice as complicated. Spanish even has some tonal words like Como and cómo, Que and qué. The similar vocab helps English speakers learn spanish vocab fast, but memorizing vocabulary is the easy part of learning a language

[@deonkonzen3580]

I'm still a super beginner (took a couple college classes like ten years ago and nothing since) so I was surprised I even caught míng​zi and guó​rén from those three sentences at the beginning xD

I found that using videos to teach Chinese to practice English listening is better than directly listening to pure English. Perhaps it is because they pay more attention to the differences in thinking and reaction speed of people in different languages. (Laughter)

[@markkulehikoinen3297]

Some 5 years ago I could read Chinese. I have read some 15 books, understanding most of the text. I could also speak, but not very well. Then I lost my online friend and lost my motivation with him. Now I look at the books and do not remember but a few zi. Out of your 50 sentences I understood some 40, but had difficulties to read some of them. Where should I start, if I wanted to try to get back into my previous reading and, maybe, speaking level as well?

[@jonh1995]

According to a polyglot Helen Abadzi because the brain lays down the language in a specific order based on what/how we learned, you may find it helpful to revisit the texts you studied with originally, you’re at a huge advantage because you learned so much before! Good luck

[@Henry-teach-Chinese-in-jokes]

I recommend my method of teaching Chinese in humorous way to you. Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help understand the meanings and remember them vividly. know yourself as well as the opponents. I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
