Hi, welcome to ShuoshuoChinese 说说中文; my name is Shuo, I’m a native Chinese teacher living in Bangkok, Thailand, I’ve been teaching Chinese as a foreign language for more than 10 years and I’m also a language learner.
In this channel, I will upload a weekly video, in which I talk about Chinese vocabulary, Chinese grammar, Chinese culture, Chinese stories with pinyin and the English translation for listening practice.
With my channel, you can easily start to learn and understand complicated Chinese grammar, sentence structure, and differences/nuances between similar Chinese words.
If you are a Chinese beginner, I’m planning to upload videos about what Chinese language is, how it differs from English, Chinese pronunciations, Chinese characters and Chinese stroke sequences and a mini Chinese course, (10 minutes per day), which can help you learn quickly and easily. Don’t miss it!
So, subscribe to my channel and start your Chinese learning journey!

Translation correction: 13:00 the translation for A比B高 (A bǐ B gāo) should be “A is taller than B”

[@lushinasmr]

It keeps surprising me how good of a teacher you are!! Even though I'm currently studying for HSK5, I still watch your beginner videos because you always provide interesting insight to strenghten our understanding of the language ☺️ It is never a waste of time to watch your videos, thank you for the lovely content

[@ngocuyennguyen9152]

I'm Vietnamese, and I've learn Chinese for 3 months. Thank you for your videos, they're helping me so much! I really like Chinese, by the way, I'm U50, and learning Chinese is good for my brain!

[@madhavkumar556]

+1 to being a big fan of these

[@martinphipps2]

I once had a penpal in the Philippines. She said "You can help me with my English please" so I sent the letter back after correcting all her mistakes with a red pen. She didn't write again.

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

哈哈！🤣（好久不见！）

[@martinphipps2]

When I first started learning Chinese I tried not to translate from English to Chinese. Instead I would follow the Chinese grammar rules. As a check, when I finished writing a sentence I would translate the sentence word for word into English words. If that sentence made no sense at all I figured I had written the Chinese correctly.

[@TheodoreMcGurrin]

很喜欢这个视频。我是在美国的中文老师。我是白人。一定要给我的学生看你的视频。谢谢

[@denaetak1147]

Anna is doing super great! I have been learning for over 2 years now and am about her level. I learn very slowly and I still cannot create full sentences yet.

[@jssmedialangs]

Ana is such a team player! 😆☺ 谢谢你做这个视频！

[@benmuema7979]

I like your teaching skills

[@MaJunyi]

These type videos are really helpful for me, thank you Laoshi. 👍🏻

[@lindsayrendall]

谢谢，非常有用！

[@diegohays4014]

[@elchinoguerito8915]

Another helpful video! 谢谢老师啊

[@Blinful]

That’s a great lesson! 谢谢你！

[@pansaltman]

你的视频总是很棒！ 谢谢， SHUO！

[@kokolexx]

now I am curious what "mistake" there was yesterday that you need to reupload this video 😌

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

I accidentally deleted it and I decided to make it into two parts😆

[@TulekBehar]

😅 你的粉丝 注意到了 最小的细节哦

[@k.c1126]

​@@ShuoshuoChineseI was sure I'd done something wrong 😂

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

@@TulekBehar 哈哈，Alex更像是我的朋友！

[@Fatcatbaz]

As always, great content that is exceptionally well delivered. I am really looking forward to your beginners series. Any guidance on how to break through the beginner stage would be much appreciated. You are a very talented teacher and I'm sure that you will continue to be very successful in the future.

[@christianortizsignorelli6959]

What great videos you provide for us. No hui shuo ing yu nma??

[@no-gh5hk]

This is more than good! Thanks for making such helpful videos 💓

[@Camerakid730]

Thanks!!

[@cesarblum5438]

Something I’ve been wondering for a long time related to mistake #2: why is 在 ok after 住, like in 我住在美国? Seems to break the pattern we use in 我在大学学习 and the other example sentences.

[@merodrem]

I am happy to say I didn't learn anything in this video. And all the sentences with mistakes sounded weird to me. It means my chinese is finally improving!

[@eindratkhit9677]

plz can u make a short vedio of roll change conversition like Fluent chinese channel

[@martinphipps2]

I met Cyndi Wang. I said "我真的愛你!" but that was an exclamatory sentence. :)

[@nicholasraymond765]

03:45 What about "塞車” does this expression wrong or how'd you use it?

[@taipo101]

As I study both Mandarin and Cantonese, I see some Cantonese creeping into the Mandarin like soeng nin (last year) perfect OK in spoken Cantonese. But Great lesson .

[@SuperOpensource]

03:07 我曾經也有犯過這個錯。 因為跟邏輯應該是小學然後到中學。因為我沒經過中國的教育所以以為中學後是叫“高學”。 哈哈哈。 現在知道了。沒有“高學“。只有”高中“ 或 ”大學“。 :😀

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

我是直接用你的声音读的这一段评论！🤣

[@TweenkPL]

Can we say 马路很拥挤？

[@martinphipps2]

When I go shopping with my wife the salesclerks always talk to her in Chinese. I have to tell them "她不會說中文。(Tā bù huì shuō zhōngwén.)" The salesclerk would look at her and then look at me and be confused and say "她不會說中文，但你會嗎？(Tā bù huì shuō zhōngwén, dàn nǐ huì ma?) I explain by saying ""她是菲律賓人。 (Tā shì fēilǜbīn rén.) " To be fair, I make the same mistake. If I meet people who are Filipino, Vietnamese or Indonesian I assume they are from Taiwan and I speak to them in Chinese.

[@rictusjas1014]

确实，“都”这个错误听着太奇怪了😂😂😂，其他的都还好

[@ericab3919]

For 22. Do people in mainland really use 高 to mean expensive? Here I've only heard 貴

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

Omg here the translation is wrong, it should be taller

[@eek8605]

I passed HSK 9 recently, and you said there is no such thing as “上年和下年”, but there is for 上年..... :0

[@justinmike0236]

Hello

[@toolazytoplay57]

HOLA :3

[@JTLCritRocket777]

老师，我有个小小的事情想跟你说：在 8:47 的 “X” 我觉得你应该用红色的 "X", 应为一般来说红色是表示 “不对” 的意思，然后绿色有 ”对“ 的意思。所以用绿色”X“可能让大家搞混，不知道那个句子是对的还是不对的。除非别的文化觉得绿色表示错，红色表示对 🤷‍♀😅. 我说的是美国人的看法。希望我说的话说清楚😅 反正，超棒的视频！你每个视频我都会看！

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

你的建议很棒！谢谢你🙏

[@vasileseicaru8740]

5:44 are you saying that 我回在Ohio的家乡 is grammatically ok? a. Why is 在 ok between 回 and the place that we return to, when we usually simply say 回国、回家、等 b. The phrase Ohio的家乡 sounds like "Ohio's hometown" if Ohio were a person's name. Sounds more awkward than 我回家乡，家乡是Ohio c. Hold on, I've watched it again and you forgot to write what you said, and what you said made me realize what you meant. Was it intended as： 我回（我）在Ohio（住）的（这个）家乡 if not, see A and B

[@ardianafandhi]

chinese is confuse...

[@wavygravy1945]

I must want to know how come air fare Vancouver to Bangkok so expensive now.
