Thank you, the 5 of you are so interesting and humble. It's reassuring to see that many Chinese learners are experiencing the same gap between comprehension and ability to speak.

[@dashumandarin]

💓

[@MrAntinexus]

我的情況是相反的，我會說出自己的想法，但有時候有問題聽出來某人的話，尤其是快速說的

[@isnisse3896]

I'm surprised that you guys are so open about your business' model and industry. Not many youtubers does that. Its refreshing to see that kind of transparency

[@ChinesewithmeiEveryday]

I guess it's because we all want to develop the Chinese-teaching community into a better one😊

[@SpencerCN754]

watching this again! thank you guys! love the longer interviews.

[@suttdie]

三位大叔 您们好~ 对一个留学生来说 大叔们的频道是一个很珍惜的学习来源！

[@maximiliano8849]

你们都是在我日常生活中最期待收看的内容，谢谢你们让中文学习者得到无比的乐趣！😃

[@dashumandarin]

看到你的留言我们都超开心！

[@varvarasevortyan]

你们都很棒， 如果有空我平时听你们的视频 谢谢大家❤

[@coolco1619]

Yes very true, learning to listen is much easier but I still cannot speak Mandarin yet. That's because I can't find opportunities or anyone to talk to.

[@woodies2009]

At least, you can talk to yourself or find a partner online.

[@sunmoonlaketom1041]

Great interview!

[@Themindofreyrey]

Great podcast as always Uncles!

[@SpencerCN754]

Amazing video, guys!

[@strandpromenade]

I can speak a lot, even at times super fast - yet I cannot understand when Chinese people talk. As soon as they start relaxing and talking in their normal style...I get lost...so it is just the other way round....

[@Grem305]

Spanish and portuguese are the same for a french person. Very close and readable but hard to speak fluently

[@michaelkensington2494]

I think Portugese is very similar to Italian right? Is Italian more similar to Portugese than Spanish

[@Grem305]

@@michaelkensington2494 No, spanish us very close to portuguese as they share the same roots and language structure (Iberic peninsula and same history back in 11th century)

刚看完Dolores那期，现在来看自己的😂

[@dashumandarin]

哈哈 最近更新太快了，我们每周保持一个直播，一个长视频，偶尔放个精华短视频

[@realghosts580]

@@dashumandarin 哈哈我知道。但是我不看别的视频每天。。。我看10新分钟的这个视屏和也从头看。

[@realghosts580]

内卷是很有意思的字 (6:42)。你们喜欢用这个字但是我觉得翻译不好。翻译是 "inside roll" 或者 “introverted” 但是我听说它的意思也是 “competitive"? 是不是网上发明的字？

[@dashumandarin]

对 应该是‘’过度竞争‘’的意思

PeiPei! ❤

[@dashumandarin]

是的！明星老师

Although some people can learn by listening and repeating or by trying to speak immediately, others, like me, are used to reading, forming a structure in their head and then putting it into practice, that is writing ans speaking. If I don't intend to travel or work in a Chinese-speaking environment, I don't see why I should focus on speaking from day 1, while the language is a chaotic mess in my head. In Chinese, everything is focussed on speaking, speaking, speaking, tones, speaking, tones, speaking. When I am looking for reading materials, they are either some foreign-based books from the 80s with boring bilingual pages or some really silly texts from generic novels or some old texts that would tire and bore me even in my own language. What I did in the past and helped me acquire some fluency was to print a normal text I would read in my daily life ( not a textbook) and then to learn the structure and vocabulary with a dictionary, to make a questionnaire and try to explain the text to myself. I have abandonned studying for now because of life obligations, but when I start again, I will do the same. It worked much better than classes or apps for me. Also, another thing that makes studying difficult for me is that almost all the learning ressources are made with English speakers in mind, they overexplain concepts that I don't need and they underexplain important concepts that I need. That's all :)

视频说明里你们应该写一个链接她们的IG和中文课程。。。

William has a Chinese girlfriend. So he has her to thank for his fluency level. Anyone can speak fluent Chinese if their partner is Chinese. But students who dont have that advantage have to work even harder.

[@dashumandarin]

有女朋友未必就一定能学好中文。威廉最重要是学习的方法对，然后也很努力。
