[@slashlakers2320]

I think this kind of format is excellent. Also the two hosts are very professional and give clear explainations. Hope for more content like this

[@ChinesePodTV]

We're glad you appreciate it. Do watch out for more content like this on the upcoming videos.

[@haniw916]

[@ChinesePodTV]

谢谢你的评论！

[@nguyenluu7373]

两个老师既然讲了课文非常好❤❤

[@atiffromchinespodteam]

谢谢

[@abousaria603]

their speak make me fall in love of chinese.

[@kokolexx]

I really like that there is no subtitle when the hosts are speaking, so i can practice my listening. But after one host speaking in mandarin, the other reply on english so if i didn't catch what she means, i can understand what that was after hearing the response in english. 非常好!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate your comments.

[@unclebob1507]

你们的确棒极了！

[@JRWB78]

Fantastic video. Lots of vocabulary and very clear speaking. The level is perfect for me as well - not too easy and not too hard. Thanks a lot!

[@ChinesePodTV]

We're glad you appreciate it. Thanks for your support!

[@ChinesePodTV]

[@KingTiger10588]

Captions like English & pinyin for the first portion of the video? A lot of good material keep up the good work 🎉🎊🎉

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thanks for the feedback! We'll consider your suggestions on the upcoming videos. Cheers!

[@suizilla]

i think you should have also explained what 薪水 and 面试 was. i'm a heritage speaker and i had to look up what xinshui was but i understood everything else without the vocab explanation. thanks for the video!

[@dnicholas8525]

This video is packed with useful sentences and vocabulary. The title doesn't do justice to all the good information. I was expecting only some dialogue and description of first-tier cities. The video has much more and was a nice surprise. Please keep up the great work.

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thank you for your support!

[@EddieTiongKeeCheng]

This is my first time know there is a place in China called 呼和浩特. Is there any interesting place to visit or food to eat to recommended in 呼和浩特? Thanks

[@cknight2574]

The phrase "zhuan gong" at 2:03 is often used in HongKong and Taiwan but not in the Mainland, right?

[@Emma-oq4ku]

very cool! I like this topic. thanks for sharing .keep good work!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thanks for your support!

[@andreamoreau9380]

Is there any difference between 列车 and 火车?

[@Trumppower]

This old video is better than the new one's

[@atiffromchinespodteam]

you can watch more videos.

[@mazinalamir]

谢谢你们

[@ChinesePodTV]

谢谢!

[@trinidadmadraga9796]

What is the difference between 薪水 and 工资?

[@trinidadmadraga9796]

Is 麻辣锅 the same as 麻辣火锅?

[@trinidadmadraga9796]

Is there any other word with 差 meaning business trip?

[@trinidadmadraga9796]

Is 转工 the same as 跳槽?

[@circleforit]

Shall I ask if it is correct to say Hu He Hao Te is the 首都 of Nei Meng Gu? I thought 首都 is capital city of the country.

[@ChinesePodTV]

Hi circleforit, actually, 首都 just means 'capital'. Just like we can talk about the "provincial capital" of a place in English, we can also say 呼和浩特是内蒙古的首都。

[@andrewwang4637]

Your videos are so helpful, thanks!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thank you!

[@gracechen4950]

why they use "da gao tei, da huo che", I usually hear they said “ zou gao tei, zou hou che" what is different between them? which one will be used normally?

[@gracechen9903]

"转工" means "换工作"? this is the first time I heard that.

[@fernandotonon76]

These are great, thank you!!

[@ChinesePodTV]

We're glad you liked it!

[@andreamoreau9380]

Can I say 坐飞机 instead of 搭飞机?

[@solomonsahile1337]

Fantastic one i like it !!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thank you!

[@angelaembrey276]

“首府”和“省会”的区别在于建制为省还是为民族自治区。 “首府”在中国是专指民族自治地区的行政中心，在我国自治区和自治州的行政中心都称作首府。 但是，“省会”（或称省城），为省行政中心（省政府驻地），正式文件中，省级行政单位（直辖市和特别行政区）的行政中心并不称作“省会”，直接称为政府所在地、驻地或治所。 所以呼和浩特市是内蒙古自治区的“首府”，而不是“首都”。 首都仅能用于国家。 一个国家只有一个首都。 一个国家可有多个首府和省会。 英语中“Capital” 区分不细，州和国都可以有capital。

[@trinidadmadraga9796]

Can I say 搭公共汽车 meaning to take a bus?

[@christiefromchinesepod5493]

Yes. 搭 can be paired with most public transportation, like bus, underground, train, plane, etc.

[@Molefhe_music]

Thank you for the video...

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thank you too!

[@WilliesBayler]

Really nice!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andreamoreau9380]

Is 去哪儿 the same as 去哪里?

[@Betty_ChinesePod]

Yes. They are the same.

[@andreamoreau9380]

Is 和 and 跟 the same?

[@Betty_ChinesePod]

When meaning ‘A and B’, both 和 and 跟 are OK.

[@gracechen9903]

8:15 the host said" 文化“ ,could you explain what does that mean?

[@InspirationMatrix]

Culture

[@graceli100]

good video. But at 1'42 tone of “一” should be the first not the second. at 2'02" 阿 is incorrect. it should be 啊

[@unclebob1507]

If yours intonation has problem be careful with the phrase 搭飞机... Pay attention the first character is the first tone!

[@unclebob1507]

I will check and then I tell you... @Jerry Woods (ChinesePod)

[@gatorademe]

Awesome!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thank you!

[@pinald.sangma5428]

YES . I HEAR.

[@ChinesePodTV]

We hear you too!

[@junpu2179]

It should be "为什么要面试啊" rather than "为什么要面试阿"?

[@andreamoreau9380]

Why in the Pinyin 主意 is zhǔ yi, but the pronunciation is zhú yi?

[@christiefromchinesepod5493]

The standard tone is zhu3 yi, but in daily dialogues people often say zhu2 yi. Technically they are both correct.

[@Zytyman]

They really just said 打飞机 10:23 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@susannaallmeroth5006]

Great lesson, thanks! I wish you would have elaborated more on the second- and third-tier cities since I expected that from the description. Also 一线 should be Yi 1 Xian 4, not yi2 xian4.

[@susannaallmeroth5006]

@Jerry Woods (ChinesePod) From what I know, the pronunciation indeed changes, but the Pinyin does not. Are there different practices how Chinese is tought? Thanks for the reply. My comment on the content was indeed more a suggestion and I appreciate that it needs to be adapted to suit the level.

[@gkkwan5]
