Does Mandarin Really Equal “pǔ tōng huà”(普通话) | The Dialects of Mandarin | guān huà(官话) and Mandarin

Why did you show the map of these Indonesian island Pulau Samosir when you talk about Manchu? There, people do speak Manchu? But anyway, I like this video, as a lonely Chinese learner I am very grateful for such information. Once I had a Chinese colleague, she always confused me. I said a sentence with the word "rong". She screamed: ah, das ist gaaaannz falsch ( I am German) because I pronounced it a little bit like the English word "wrong". She said that I have to pronounce it like "zhong" ... Was very confusing. Her hometown is Guangzhou, a very stubborn woman, who didn't want to talk with men 😂. In Germany we have the so called Hochdeutsch, which is also a construction from 1920s, created by Theodor Siebs in the late 1890s. Language is like water always in movement 😊

Firstly thank you very much for your comment. 🙏🙏🙏. In fact that Indonesian map is one of my videos that I made. It’s just an example of my Manchu language channel. 😂 and this is a very interesting language learning story. 😊 honestly learning language is indeed a lonely process but when we can understand the logic, the culture behind the language and we even can gradually understand how the native speakers think by learning this new language, we can feel the amazing point, which can give us an amazing sense of achievement. At this moment, learning language is not only a tool for communicating. By the way mate, you may get a chance to learn Cantonese😎because Guangzhou is also a Cantonese language city. And I want to share a learning language experience. When we learn pronunciation lonely, we can use google translate because this app has speak output mode. We can record our pronunciations and do a contrast between the google’s pronunciations and our pronunciations.
