Do you have English lessons for mandarin speakers?

I started studying Chinese in China 3 years ago, paying attention to pronunciation and tones. When I "practiced" with native people they did not understand what I was saying, my way of speaking was very "formal". I tried to figure out how to know how to speak Chinese from daily life, but no one teaches you that, it is very frustrating 😔. When they talk to you, you don't understand anything because you expect to hear what they teach you in class. They don't teach you to understand "real life". With these examples now I understand many things that people try to tell me and I didn't know what they were referring to. I live in China and I want to learn how to understand Chinese from "real life". I like this video 👍 老师 more videos like this.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad my lesson helps!

[@andia968]

Watch modern drama series , suitable for that purpose

[@JoshHibberd]

"Your upper teeth have to high five your tounge." Never heard that before. That quote should be put on a t-shirt. 🤣

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

hahah as long as students can remember! Thanks for your feedback!

[@AlexWishard]

There's a cool example someone made explaining why it's so difficult to learn a new language at first. He played gibberish in English, and a normal sentence in Mandarin, but because I'm American, I could understand the gibberish because I've grown up with those sounds. In short, he said we should be constantly hearing it and speaking with people because we'll be able to pick up on the enunciation and phonetics even faster. Would you want me to link the video in my comment?

[@kohinurakther2688]

Your teaching skill is really too good ...I highly appreciate the way you teach....😍there is no mandarin teacher like you who tells everything in details.. love you💙💙💙

[@cr7ji07]

That's the reason why I was unable to relate the words with Mandarin movies,.. -My tongue got uneven after practicing this video,..😂😂 -But, Thanks for your efforts...u made learning Mandarin really easy for us,..

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you very much for the feedback, it's really all about practicing and getting used to the rhythm of Mandarin.

[@paulcowderoy6403]

Thanks from Sydney Australia, I have never heard anyone else give a lesson like this on shortened forms of pronunciation - extremely useful!

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

welcome!

[@sinfuldavy0]

There were five annoying commercials in this video. Is this an indication of how popular Katrina Lee is? No doubt she’s one of the best teachers on this platform. It’s all good 👍

[@crquetzals]

I have been hearing this for years and this is the first time that I can finally hear it. Thank you for taking the time to make this video it is very helpful. My Taiwanese friends do this a lot and I could never distinguish what they were saying. Although, as you were going through them, I was able to say them and know what it was. So maybe I have learned some things over the years and just didn't realize it.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you so much for the feedback!! 😀 I'm glad you find this video helpful!

[@swpfranky]

Thanks a lot Katrina. It's exactly what i need... Because for me, what i hear is more important than what i see. But i agree that we have to learn the correct way to talk and write before.

[@patriciapaye2194]

thank you very much,this is my feeling,they speak so faster and make Chinese look difficult for me,am resting for now,since all my life is in china too much stress in learning Chinese🙆

[@marivicjanala604]

Thanks ma'am Katrina for your keep sharing the video i learned more Mandarin language so enteristing

[@selenepolli9138]

Thank you so much Katrina for your lessons and your hard work! I myself am teaching English and find we have a similar way of explaining things in showing what textbooks don't say. My boyfriend is chinese and you are really helping me getting across the language barrier and that marvelous connection you can get when you can really get enriched by one another's culture. Thanks once again!🤗

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you very much for the feedback! :)

[@dyeam8115]

I like this...I always hear this from native speaker in supermarket. Now I knew it I will try to respond in this way too.Thanks Ms. Kat.

I have many books but I don't know to read because of the tone when I know you, I download all your vedio thank you so much.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

It's my pleasure

[@soldieroffortunate1296]

Thank you Katrina for uploading this video.

[@stridedeck]

So much like contractions: blending and slurring the unimportant parts, and what is left gives you the meaning.

[@marivicjanala604]

Thank you ma'am Katrina so enteristing and excited

[@atefevaliyan107]

您好亲爱的老师，我是你的新生，我真欣赏你的教，太有用而且理解，非常感谢您😘💞🍀🌺🍀

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

謝謝你！

[@hemkusum554]

Awesome. Appreciate your hardwork

[@wandasanchez551]

When learning a new language, text book language vs the way people really speak is totally different. You've got to experience it first hand by immersing yourself in the culture. However, if that's not possible teachers like you Katrina can at least give us examples of what real conversations with native speakers might sound like. Great examples. I was watching this one Chinese drama and the actress pronounced xie xie more like xie xia. The final e sound was more like an a sound. Interesting.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you like it! :)

[@iammarau4481]

Your the best katrina,without you i wouldn't learn how to do mandarin for my lolo!!!!!

[@boubahace5847]

Thanks for this video very helpful

[@marcosbrasilien]

Lăoshī, just like Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation. We do shorten words. Thank you.

[@NikoleMcDonaldJonesSpooni]

I have to say. Native is so Economic. I COMPLETELY understand why several things are omitted.

[@lois2911]

Please do more videos like this. It answer the question as to why non-native speakers still have problems in their listening comprehension even after acquire a large vocabulary base.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad this helps!

[@Li.Siyuan]

Hi Katrina, one of your best. Thank you 😘

[@jaxxn932]

I like how you differentiate between what you hear in the classroom vs in actual conversation! Thanks so much! I feel like when I speak Chinese, I sound like a robot 😂

That's really helpful I guess If a person learnt Mandarin and became a fluent speaker, he'll understand all these while talking with some practice. Thanks for the video, it's so helpful as usual 谢谢

[@sammygomes1452]

As a beginner my take on this lesson is first learn the proper pronunciation of each word including the tones which is very important then as time goes on we will eventually recognize those daily examples.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it! 🤗

Thank you for your helpful video ❣️❤️

[@wandasanchez551]

I'm starting to realize that it's harder for me to understand spoken Mandarin by native speakers if they speak fast, have a regional accent, and I have no written reference in front of me. It's easier when you hear the word or phrase with the Pinyin written in front of you. Also, words written the same in Pinyin but with different tones confuse me. I'm going to have to sharpen my listening skills without seeing the written form in front of me. I am starting to recognize a few more characters. That's a positive. Writing them is not so good. I'll keep trying.

[@gautamgulde1946]

This video will help to understand chinese movie.Thanks.

[@gautamgulde1946]

Thank you for your reply.

[@beniology101]

Laoshi, does Shuō hányǔ mean "to speak Korean" and Shuō zhōngwén mean "to speak Chinese"? Another native speaker said it was vice versa, so I'm a bit confused. "Hanyu" sounds like "Hangul" (the Korean writing system) which is why it's easy to remember the meaning for me, but they said it meant "Chinese". Please help, I want to get this right. 😭

[@jackynyarkoafful4390]

hányu is Korean hànyu/ zhōngwén is Chinese. It's the tone difference. Korean has the second tone and Chinese has the fourth tone. Hope this helped!

[@abdelrahmandiea3798]

then when i speak should I speak like you say is reality or like what I learn in class

[@nicgray-piano7054]

This video was really super helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sinfuldavy0]

I have a question. Would you hear that type of dialogue on the radio though or in an official office environment?

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

If people speaks fast, you'll hear the natural speech/speed almost everywhere. :)

[@coffeelover2380]

I really learned a lot from you, thank you!

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

Glad it was helpful!

[@popsserrano]

make more of this :< i love it

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

So, if I say Xie Xie, they won't understand me? You spelled "Usually" incorrect @ 7:11, but I don't mind, because I know what you meant. Isn't that the same? I'm sure that the Chinese person will get what I'm saying. But I do like it that we can eliminate certain words :)

[@carlossori2877]

Be patient like a Japanese! Never give up but challenge, I started learning Mandarin at 72 year-old and getting progress every time I turn on my desktop! Good luck. I've learn German, French and English by myself. Nowadays with the Internet - You tube is very helpful.
