ActiveChinese lesson part 2

This is part 2 of the Chinese lesson, it's the dialogue without the translation. If you're confused, look for the translation at part 1

[@portlandjoe]

So the word to negate something is 'bu shi'...almost sounds like "bull$hit", which makes total sense. This is gonna be an awesome language to learn; I already love it! :)

[@douglasnewman4163]

Very nice. Very helpful for this beginner.

[@Catherinearmant]

Very interesting and superbly useful. Thank you.

[@FonGamer99]

大家好!

[@EnSimplesPalabras]

mm..I think the tones are completely useless when they put sentences together, I only hear the intonation. When words are isolated, that's when the tones make sense to me..

[@tophrocks234]

Wow. I've barely spoken Chinese before (Starting to learn so I can talk to my friends parents) but I was able to speak right along with Mark!!! I am Japanese profient, so the kanji with different meanings was cool XD I am a teenager, and this is so cool.

[@Smadlin01]

I think you may find it hard to argue Chinese when you don't speak a word of it, but i do appreciate your point ;).

[@Smadlin01]

That's because Chinese is tonal ;), one word can have many meanings depending on the tone it is pronounced it. However Japanese and Italian are toneless, they could be spoken in a completely monotone voice and be understood.

好啊.. 我看得懂. 謝謝老師..

[@Bermudablue3]

this is a really creative idea that actually works well! tnx! :)

[@emeraldmorn]

@iluvnoddl3s except don't smile the creepy way Mark did at the end LOL

[@HeyyHoodie]

The romantic music in the background makes it seem like he's totally hitting on her.

[@DrSAM69]

Mark is on drugs lol

[@paexou]

Chinese is slightly harder, becuz there are reminders on the top of the words. These words sound low, even, up and high. Japanese words have one reminder like even or say quick, but also have many words for the same meaning, so u have to remember all these words.

[@kirrbro]

mark is gonna get LAID!!!! im jealous..

[@boofy901]

I am Japanese/American trying to learn Mandarin!!

[@emeraldmorn]

@HeyyHoodie XD that's what I thought. I wonder how the video makers could have NOT noticed that. or maybe it was on purpose? LOL

[@crackerjack113]

wow the canadian's flirting up a Shanghai girl gg

[@takasora]

i like this, but i am currently learning Japanese, after I am ok with my Japanese i think i'll go for Chinese it seems fun...all the pronunciations...plus i'll finally be able to tell off those rude owners of that chinese food place near me...

[@DarKAngelhapiz]

[@MsCrunktastic]

@nitsujj2007 so its kinda like the same? because i feel like i can learn Chinese a little better than Japanese, ( i am Mexican-american, i speak English, && Spanish, but i speak English wayyy better than Spanish lol)

[@Sviolinist]

I think this is the hidden reason why Americans like myself pick up Chinese. Well, that and for my PhD. But, seriously, it's for the women (shhh, don't tell)

[@SleepingWeina]

bravo!

[@abbiebubble]

I was born and raised in hong kong so i speak cantonese but... i can't speak mandarin at all lol

[@Krapiky]

@nitsujj2007 for a half japanese like me who know only half of the kanji, it's hard to learn chinese xD tho i can guess a bit the meaning of the phrase... but the pronouciation xD god it's hard >.>''

[@TheXanian]

counting from 1 to 10 in ancient Chinese 3000 years ago, learn ancient Chinese: qlig njis suum hljids ngaa rug snhid preed gu gjub

[@langitgrey]

rang dedao chiluoluo di xing xingwei...

[@Smadlin01]

nope, whispering, shouting, singing, none of it affects the tone. It's more like what part of the word you put emphasis on.

[@joseangel637]

EIT ITS THE SAME LESSON

[@TheXanian]

Ancient Chinese 3000 years ago was a non-tonal language. There were probably no tones in ancient Chinese.

[@bonbonpony]

How do you know? Are you 3000 years old?
