I like your channel BECAUSE因 *you* put the heart心 in GRACE 恩 yin+xin=en1

[@QuizmasterLaw]

I am 100% likelier to watch in-video advertizements IN CHINESE. The last thing I want is to have my Chinese learning interrupted by a product I probably can't buy or don't want; but if it is in CHINESE then I would GLADLY listen to it and even recommend it to others!

[@popoolos478]

PLEASE make this a series! i'd watch it

[@兔子抱緊紅蘿蔔]

I have been waiting for this! Teacher Grace, please to let you know that most of the students are in the range of either HSK 1-2 and HSK 3-4 (old HSK) and TOCFL equivalent. I myself currently studying at NCKU Taiwan and have Chinese level around HSK 3 going for HSK 4 (again old one). I hope you can do longer sentences, maybe 10 or 2 x 10 each week. We don't need very good edits or anything. We just need the numbers (knowledge of phrases) to be a lot since we all love watching Chinese and Taiwanese drama (and apparently, just knowing the vocabs for Chinese is really not enough).

[@sasino]

The last scene in the video 是我和你 💔😢

[@tommysiharath6988]

I'm living in China and use/hear these phrases often. I learned more from communicating with others than studying. Great explanation and video! This is more practical Chinese for everyday communication.

[@alexwang6156]

Not a Mandarin learner but as a native speaker I’m so happy to find out our language has been introduced to so many good people here hahahaha! 小姐姐视频做得真棒啊！太有才了😁请继续传播中国文化!

[@orangeyorange5948]

I love how you used real life situation like in drama or skit. It's easy to understand 💙

[@ronross9752]

Thanks for the great video production, very useful indeed. I liked your acting sketches, I am sure it is very hard work to produce but I think we all enjoy it and relate to it better than the TV drama clips, if you get too good at the acting stuff then someone from the TV production company will spot you and you will be in those TV dramas in the future. 👍❤️

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Haha I doubt that, but thanks! 😂💕

[@ivanrobc]

I love how you show both Chinese writings so I can learn better the Taiwanese style

[@Garbaz]

Not directly related to this video, but I want to tell you how much I appreciate your videos in general! There are so many Chinese-learning KZbin channels, but I've found close to none I enjoy watching. They tend to be either super clickbaity or low-effort. The more I look, the more your channel stands out for me. No clickbaity topics, a calm and well structured presentation, very clear and understandable explanations and really well done video production. I have watched all your videos, and not only have they been very helpful in learning, but also have greatly helped with keeping me motivated. I sometimes even rewatch videos of yours just because they are pleasant, even if I already know the topic. Anyway, in short, thank you for the videos!

[@JenniferKao]

Your videos are by far the best I've found online to learn Mandarin!! I'm always so blown away by how through and well-produced they are. Do you by any chance know how to speak Taiwanese and would you ever make videos on how to speak Taiwanese?

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately, my Taiwanese is very poor 😂

[@seth462]

This. I cannot afford a private tutor to help me, but I have the absolute best teacher available. I watch adverts and all as a way to say 谢谢你 老师。

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you Seth! 💛

[@evragrae6365]

Love how you used dramas to teach us mandarin, thankssss

[@evragrae6365]

I'd love to see more dramas while learning mandarin

[@annitaannie8881]

Grace 老師是 such an angel. Her video lessons, her voice tone, her teaching methods are really suitable for students.

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you🥰

[@frankbinder8508]

Thank you very much Grace for producing this video. 太谢谢你了！ I've been watching and enjoying learning Mandarin Chinese with your videos for a while. The reason why this video is so outstanding for me is because it's references to Chinese TV dramas. Being as I'm living in London - England I don't have the benefit of being surrounded by native mandarin speakers, so I'm watching a lot of Chinese TV dramas, which are a great listening practice and a very efficient way of learning Chinese. But due to the fact that the dialogues are spoken in normal speed, it is often challenging to understand it, this is exactly where your video builds the bridge. I can't thank you enough. Please make more of this kind of videos as it is such a valuable tool for everyone learning Mandarin Chinese. 麻烦你了 I can only encourage others mandarin Chinese learners to do this as well. Not only does it give you the language but you also learn a lot about Chinese culture as well, plus entertainment value is very high. The TV drama "Who rules the world" is probably the best TV series I've ever watched. I was literally glued to the chair.

[@KairosSU]

Greetings from a fellow Taiwanese , glad to see a talented person introducing our language & culture to audience outside, subscribed. Keep up the good work! :)

[@eyerusalemdemeke1860]

I don't know how to thank you Your videos are very helpful Thank you sooooo much❤

[@smartass6745]

Love your channel! Learning is more fun and easier when you include some drama clips to drive home the usage. Keep it up!

[@cocarob1047]

Best practice videos I watches so far. High density of information and clear explanations. 非常感谢!

[@CitizenOfSymphonia]

Wow I've never seen a video with over 1k likes that still has 0 dislikes....and I've been on KZbin since videos used to be rated out of 5 stars... Amazing job; very helpful!

[@onlysongqian7813]

OMG!!! I saw Victoria Song 宋茜 in this video, my favorite celebrity 謝謝你 💕❤️😍 I love your videos, I like the way you teach mandarin, you make it see so easy and understandable. Thanks for you hard work 💪👏💞💓

[@WalzFilm]

Thank you Grace for all the free content you are giving to us mandarin learners! Really appreciate it and hope you won't stop :) 謝謝你!

[@frankbinder8508]

I totally agree. Learning Mandarin Chinese with your videos is great fun and full and your videos are full of useful and every day content. I really hope you will keep going for a long time, bringing use very useful study content.

[@jono_bates]

[@kashr118]

謝謝Grace！ 我一看到視頻的主題， 我就馬上打開了而給妳點讚了。 這樣的視頻太有幫助了。 好喜歡！ 我也剛才開始看 use for my talent 那個節目， 挺有意思的

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ShenShen88]

Really impressed by the quality of this video. Well done 👍

[@genace]

Super useful and practical, and it’s nice to see your acting and drama clips again too! I previously read elsewhere that 怎麼了 means “what happened,” but the page I read didn’t elaborate that it’s often in the context of someone being upset or to respond to someone. Maybe dictionary definitions aren’t enough sometimes so it really helps that you explained the situations that these phrases are used in. Thanks as always Grace!!👍🙂

[@frankbinder8508]

I've given up on dictionaries, as it is simply too incomprehensive. The translation and the actual meaning of phrases are quite often totally different. That is where teachers like Grace are a real blessing for us students of the Chinese language.

[@peanutsandpop]

`I just found your channel yesterday, and I'm so glad I did! I am a Canadian teaching English in Taiwan, and I have been looking for Mandarin learning materials that are especially useful for people living in Taiwan. Thank you!

[@__donez__]

I recently switched to an input-heavy approach to learning Mandarin, so this video is extremely helpful! 謝謝老師！

[@ignaciopazgarcia5370]

input heavy?

[@WiktoriaMiszczenko-id7zr]

Hi! I just wanna thank you for your videos. I wish I had discovered your channel before. THANK YOU to mix new words you gave in ONE examples, it is very helpful, cuz I have problems with memorizing words. Sending love💖

[@ahom9387]

Helpful video!

[@galyapazheva7955]

Love this video! Thank you!

[@anja.krslin]

Thank you soooo much for this video. I really liked it!!! Sometimes it is very hard to memorise so many words and in the end you realise you can't make a meaningful sentence 😅. This is why I liked how you used everyday useful frases instead of "cut of sentences" from some books or dictionary. Thank you for puting in, parts of clips from Chinese dramas, to give us an example of how different people pronounce them. I also appreciate a lot that you write everything you say both in Chinese characters and pinyin. That really helps. 😉 Could you do more videos like this. And also did you hear of TPRS stories? I would love to listen to them, in Chinese, in you future videos. 🙏🙏🙏

[@popoolos478]

PLEASE make this a series! i'd watch it

[@user-ct9tt6sf8w]

[@imgiang5576]

thank you for the great video ❤️

[@normayuniari1238]

Many thanks for today lesson 🙏🙏🙏

[@botzuki5246]

What are some Chinese TV Dramas you can recommend? I really like serious dramas with realistic romance

[@emrk6517]

The Rational Life (2021) is really good! It's also on Netflix. It's about this woman Shen Ruoxin, who works in management at a car manufacturing company in Shanghai. There are some comedic moments but the drama mostly deals with serious issues.

[@chen-mq1by]

I like 白夜追凶 day and night, it’s on KZbin and I think it’s been really great but it has little romance

[@kleinekuenstlerin7717]

I like „Insect Detective“ with Gala Zhang. It’s a mystery drama series with English subtitles. Or „Storm Eye“

[@trendy-retro]

How about 北辙南辕 / Crossroad Bistro (2021)?

[@learnaboutChina-i5p]

微微一笑很倾城

[@sanowarapathan435]

I'm glad to see a clip of He Ziqiu from GO AHEAD..❤❤

[@frankbinder8508]

[@Elizabeth-so6zp]

These are the kind of videos I love! Subscribed.

[@himitsuju]

Thank you so much! It must take a lot of time finding all of those clips 😱

[@russellburton2135]

Awesome lesson. Love the role plays, very cute.

[@raashedulhaq]

Wow. It’s amazing to see you have made this video based on our recommendation. Really appreciate it. We know you have put a lot of effort to collect drama clips. I have a suggestion for you. You can download Closed Captions Subtitles in .srt format of some dramas which are available on KZbin. Then search the word in English from that file, then it would be more easier to find and make more clips of examples and you don’t need to spend extra time on watching dramas. Duì le, We want more videos of dialogues from Drama example. 😊

[@frankbinder8508]

I couldn't agree more.

[@brofluencers7770]

Love this video! Very useful expressions from tv drama

[@anabeatrizmendonca648]

thank you for always giving us such good and free content. You're amazing

谢谢老师 for this useful video! While watching dramas another phrase I pick up often is 我先走了。 I have watched several dramas in the past months, but lately I cannot find anything. Can someone please reccomend some drama? 谢谢大家！

[@Hong0799]

[@ccaerollj.3993]

I'm so glad you make this video... This video indeed useful for me even for those who are learning Chinese nowadays..Thank you Grace. I am waiting for u to release another video like this again...❤️❤️

[@fairylady3655]

So many of 'go ahead ', but you're always reliable 😘 Hope to see another vlog video... They help me so much! 😍 谢谢😁😁🌺

[@daicon2k6]

I think "deng deng" can also be used at the end of a phrase to mean "et cetera" or "and so on," is that correct? Thank you for the excellent video.

[@garudabowo]

我学到了很多. 谢谢 Grace!

[@PanduLuhur]

你是住在臺灣的印尼人嗎？

I really like your lessons, That helps me a lot, thank you

[@dominoaffabatelal6731]

Good. Thank you.

[@Кукусик-е2э]

❤As a learner of the fifth language (which is Chinese for me), I can absolutely ensure anyone here that watching subtitled movies or dramas is the best effective way both to master real-life language listening skills and pronunciation skills. Of couse, we do not take into consideration living with or speaking to native speakers.

[@IOOxIOO]

有意思 感谢你 - Grazie, video simpatico e istruttivo!

[@jyanneskye2535]

I love Victoria Song @1:24 💜 Thanks for referencing her in your video. LOL It was a surprise.

[@nileshbhattacharya2526]

Beautiful video ❤️

[@kokolexx]

I want to see more of your teacher in future videos😎

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

😂😂 I'll ask her if she wants to show up more often

[@jorgechau2327]

That boy Who was rejected was very beautiful 哈哈哈😁

[@amjadidrisguy97]

Hiii this video really useful….we need part 2 please laoshi !!!!!!!

[@cindyrohanauli05]

谢谢你Grace!

[@barthzesperida]

To be honest that "zen me la" is the very used words in Cdrama. When I watch Cdrama lastyear I got more chinese phrases, thanks to English Subtitles for that. I'm waiting for the word "Jiayou" which is also my fav word... Xiexie for ur update I learned so much. I can say that I can learn some mandarin while watching Cdrama since last year... but I cannot write in characters.

[@marthinputra4756]

im soo enjoy the class. thanks

[@jimena._.8030]

Good video! I've heard a lot of these phrases in chinese dramas... how is it used 你干嘛 Means "What are you doing" But I really don't know if is a polite way o informal...

[@ravinosaurus]

Whoah didn't know there was "Zhen Jia 真假" as substitute for "Zhen De Ma? 真的吗" for "really". It also sounds so close to Korean "Jin jja 진짜" which means the same thing. Interesting

[@lindsayrendall]

Thanks - great expressions, think I’ve heard all of these come up in the dramas I’ve watched. I’ve been wondering what the 等我下 one meant - got the wait for me bit, but wasn’t sure what the 下 would translate to.

[@EatingManTou]

等我"(一)下" means a short period of time.

[@manel9660]

Thank you ☺️

[@mariafilippovarus3613]

谢谢谢谢你！Could you make more videos about dramas?

[@jennifersingh1817]

Wow good lesson ....I hope u make this type of videos more... Can u consider meteor garden (2018) tooo?.....

[@vro1996]

Amazing !!

[@jannethacevedo1820]

谢谢老师Grace thank you for your great 👍 and clear chinese classes. Please a qst. I read in your explanations use pinyin, simplified and traditional characters... but in this last one I read in the top, another characters... is not japanese... looks like alien 👽👾 jeje! 开玩笑! 😁 But what are those characters? Thank you dear teacher Grace! Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia! 😊

[@biru-kelabu-0821]

It's a Chinese transliteration system. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo

[@tiddlypom2097]

对了 is interesting. In the clips, "By the way" seems like a good translation. To me "By the way" has a particular emphasis. Like something the person need to know or that corrects wrong information, and that seems like how it's used. When changing topics to something I just thought of, that's not so important, I'm just sharing it, one I often say is simply "Oh yeah ..." Do you use 对了 for that too?

[@chakafei9670]

Great video, keep up the gd work!! Could you post a badminton vlog? 🏸
