I love this channel so much. Please continue to upload videos. You are helping us a lot.

[@vio3366]

I struggle with this kind of vocabulary so this came perfect to me

[@kazooha3646]

Same!

[@alishafiee1656]

I loved the way you taught and made things very clear. Great job, thank you.

[@jingforrer2462]

谢谢老师，我的学生很喜欢您的课：发音清晰，语调缓慢，三语齐全，并且还有活动，超赞👍！

[@mountaintag]

What about asking "how far (distance)" and "how long (time)" ? What's the best way to ask "How far is the hospital?" Maybe 去医院有多远? or maybe 去医院有多长的路? How should we ask "How long does it take to walk to the hospital?" Maybe 走路去医院需要多长时间? or maybe 走路去医院需要多久?

[@EverydayChinese]

Yes, you are right. how far (distance):多远？ how long (time)：多久？ How far is the hospital： 到医院有多远？ How long does it take to walk to the hospital：走到医院得多久？or 走到医院要多久？（"需要" is a little bit formal.）

[@johnmofula]

Maybe one day I'll get to use this kind of vocabulary, thank you

[@caterinasiligardi1758]

[@jackg5321]

The exercise at the end where we had to listen to the directions was very good practical exercise to test what we had just learned. If all lessons have this application part it would be very useful for us learners. Only suggestion is to remove the English translation at the end test, so we rely on our understanding to figure it out.

[@EverydayChinese]

Thanks for your great suggestion, Jack. Crystal

Living in China, this is sooooo helpful!!!

[@MobileMood]

Wonderful channel. Thank you

[@peaceandlove713]

What I like about these videos is that dialogues are spoken in normal speed as opposed to the baby talk we see in other channels. Just one question: where is your accent from? Is it Beijing?

[@jeemina8623]

非谢老師

[@dmblum1]

I live in China. I will ask the question about the dress in a smaller size tomorrow!

[@kastus77]

When i first time arrived in Beijing, on street i asked one women '天坛(Temple of Heaven)怎么走‘ . She looked at me very strangely Later i understood that with my pronouncation such question could sound '天堂怎么走’ and it was a bit countrversial

[@TK_BS6106]

LOL

[@EverydayChinese]

Hahaha. So, sometimes, pronunciation is important.😊

[@QSafrota]

Thanks a million for these seires of videos, you can not imagine how much problems it solves for me as a chinese language beginner.. But where us the pdf of this video? Thanks 😊

路人: "你先往前走，然后在第一个路口往左转，再直走到第一个路口往左转，再直走到第一个路口往左转，然后再直走，走到到第一个路口。在这个路口你就看见了。" 问路的: "谢谢你啊！" 路人: "没事。"

[@user-rn5hr4gj7o]

你可以在原地等他，一会你就又能看见他了

[@okhaiakhazemea369]

什么？你完全不知道怎么给别人指路。我无法完全理解你的指示。

[@user-rn5hr4gj7o]

Okhai Akhazemea 他在开玩笑，他指路的方向是向左拐向左拐再向左拐，这样被指路的那个人又回到了起点

[@gabrielfarias6709]

Great video as always! Just one question: Why in the minute 1:03 do you use èr ge 二个 and not liǎng ge 两个?

[@EverydayChinese]

第二个，we usually say "er" to express the second number (ordinal number).

“十字路口” 和 “路口” 一样意思吗？😊✌🏽

[@EverydayChinese]

“十字路口” 一般指有四个方向的路口，而“路口”可能有四个方向，也可能有三个方向。

老师，我不懂5:29. For "现在我们来学习一下怎么听懂中国人的指路。" I see and hear "Now let's understand how to listen to Chinese directions." Should it not be something like "现在我们来学习一下怎么用汉语中国人指路。" or in English "Now let's learn how to use Chinese to give Chinese people directions." ??? Forgive my poor understanding.

[@EverydayChinese]

Yes, literally it means "Now let''s learn and understand how Chinese people give directions".

[@mohanrajan124]

YOU are teaching in correct direction,simple, clear and meaning full. I WISH WU HAN CORONA WILL VANISH SOON.

Thanks for supporting us, Mohan. 🤞

[@marioandres1006]

Laoshi I would like to know if I were walking in the wrong direction and has to return and of course I am walking not in a car ¿ How will it be said in chinese ?

[@EverydayChinese]

You should use this word "回"，for example, "你往回走"(Turn back).
