How to Politely Make Requests in Chinese

[@lheadmendoza7527]

I'm currently working here in Taiwan Ms. Grace and your videos are very helpful since I started learning chinese more videos and more power❤️

[@MYTHOMINHTRAN]

OMG! This lesson is just like I have shoot an arrow right into the target red point! 晶瑩剔透。我非常感激，老師！

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

What topics do you want to see in my future videos? Please ask politely - Time to practice the phrases and sentence structures you learned today! ;)

[@walkingair97]

加油！😁😁😁❣🤜🤛

[@User-kjxklyntrw]

Hi Grace, nice to see ur video

[@Laukiepaukie]

Hi Grace, thanks for your nice videos. I would like to see you do a video on 把 structure. Also verb + 得/不 (出來，懂，etc.) Would be nice.

[@annita438]

Teacher, I have a plan to move to Taiwan as a part-time student and I want to get a part-time job. I don't really what kind of job most young people try to apply but I really want to know which phrases I can use in interview. If it's okay with 老師 to make this kind of videos, let me humbly request one. 麻煩您了, 不行也沒事的。It's already been a blessing that I've found out your channel. 謝謝老師。

[@ragdoll86]

I really like videos like this one! 😁 Speaking practice + useful phrases 👍

[@djbslectures]

太感謝你了！ For the speaking practice, I didn’t have quite enough time and needed to pause it on my parts, but it was super helpful!

[@cindybeautiful15]

I just started learning Chinese and you have no idea on how helpful your videos are to me, specially for the phonetics, I’m just sooo in love with your channel!!♥️♥️

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

❤️❤️❤️

[@yazars]

These videos are very well-made, and her clear pronunciation is excellent for people to learn from. Furthermore, the extra effort to include both traditional Chinese with bopomofo and simplified with pinyin allows all types of learners to follow along.

[@ajherrera4422]

Your videos and overall content are so specific and helpful. Thank you! This is helping me as I prepare to study abroad in Taiwan ♥️

[@Mike-vn3lt]

I started teaching myself Mandarin because I got my kids into a school that teaches it, you have helped me so much! Thank you for making this awesome language learnable for those of us who don't have a teacher!

[@flossy3270]

Those speech bubbles at the end were so good! Please keep them in to future videos 💜💜🌸太谢谢你了

[@yazars]

These examples are very useful! Seriously, I think you could consider writing a book, or partnering with someone to develop a speech and response program/app. I like the speech bubble idea; although I think many learners will need more time to read and practice saying the statements in the orange bubbles than what you used. In terms of politeness, my wife said that she didn't think people said thank you or apologized as much in day-to-day interactions when living in Taiwan compared to how often I say dui bu qi. I don't think I mess up THAT much more often compared to other people :D Do you feel that there is a cultural difference between Taiwan and the US in terms of how often people say "thank you" and "sorry?"

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

I didn’t really notice that actually! But I’ll pay attention to it for sure:)

[@yazars]

@@GraceMandarinChinese I'd be interested to hear if you do! Or maybe the people you spent the most time with in Taiwan were politer than average 🙂

[@Tsunami-]

Thanks for the great variety of examples! This was excellent practice for both writing and speaking, getting some repetition while also varying some words helps a lot with getting my tongue untwisted when trying to say the words. I also really like the speaking practice at the end. This was fantastic, thank you!!

[@saraha7076]

These are so helpful!! Especially the casual/colloquial phrases. Thanks!!

[@jing2anc288]

Could you tell me how to edit teaching video so good such like your video. And what kind of apps or programs that you use for subtitle, image, effect sound.... I really want to know!!!

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

I use Premiere to edit my video, and I use Amara to add CC subtitles. I drew the images by myself using Procreate. :)

[@jing2anc288]

@@GraceMandarinChinese wow, Thanks

[@ssangari]

i looooved the speaking practice please do more of them

[@annita438]

感謝 Grace 老師, 做了好多影片 讓我們學 很多臺灣對話。(●♡∀♡) Heartfelt thanks to Tr.Grace for making lots of videos and let us learn many real life conversation used in Taiwan. ( 老師, Please kindly correct my writings if I'm wrong. ♡ )

[@Andrew36597]

非常喜欢你包括交流复习的一段，希望你继续用啦！😁 不过，不知道方不方便，可以麻烦你下次慢一点吗？😅 有点太快走了啊。感谢你Grace老师😎

[@mindinshadows]

woah i'm really grateful with you channel, i want to learn chinese by my own and you help me SO much with this! the speaking part was so fast for me and needed to pause it but its ok please keep them in to future videos!! ♥

[@tykepope]

The structure of this video is very good 👍

[@urbaguilera]

真謝謝妳今天的影片,提醒了一些我不太常使用的句子🙂👍台灣北部終於有好天氣了☀那下次見喔!

[@anasmirza346]

我已经下载了你所有的视频。你所有的视频都很棒而且很有用。我真的从你的视频中受益。我真的很喜欢你的视频。哇太快乐您的视频频道很棒。

[@edgarmatasanchez574]

What a good way to start the week, good video, greetings.

[@nicolasbruna6118]

Great Video Reallohn liked the speaking bubbles, at First I was struggling to say the frases, it was too fast, maybe you could do a slow and a fast speaking practice, but all in all Great idea

[@Fluglecheese]

Most of this is still above my level (unless I just rote memorise) but there are some expressions I can use too. Thanks for catering to several different levels of ability.

[@anandviswanathan4625]

The idea of dialogue where we can read out our bubbles, is a good one. Definitely gives a better feel than one person reading both sides.

[@arzahellcazanova7057]

I love you Grace 💟 more power

[@KingTiger10588]

Thanks this is very helpful 😊

[@purplelover_only]

i love your videos please make more thx

[@mariorodriguez5291]

谢谢你的视频。我觉得这是很有用。我想问你一个问题。In this video, I frequently heard you say: 如果。。。的话，。。。 E.g. 如果你方便的话，。。。 My question is what does "的话" mean in English?

[@wilsongandakusuma]

Awesome video.... Xie Xie Ni !

[@sadak8236]

Plz make more videos on mandarin phrases

[@jirenuniverse116]

For me, I prefer direct questions like "请问，最近忙不忙？可以麻烦你帮我。。。吗？“or if it's a professional request, i'd just say "麻烦你帮我。。。" I think people will appreciate it. Coz I heard my chinese friend bashed his friend because his friend often says "你在吗？"then wait 5 minutes to say "可以帮我一点忙吗？" it drives him crazy LOL.

[@MaverickZachly]

Thank you Grace Laoshi

Hey I would like to ask, is it possible to only study Chinese speaking and not writing/reading??

[@shareef9996]

Yes! First viewer ✌️

[@TheTMax]

如果可以的话，你方便用很长时间做那些 interactive exercises吗?

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

你的意思是你想要多一點interactive exercises還是想要那個exercise有更長的時間讓你說話？ （你的意思是你想要多一点interactive exercises还是想要那个exercise有更长的时间让你说话？）

早上好！我真的很喜欢你的视频。我学中文学了二年，而且你的视频非常帮助了我。我有一个问题：你学英文多久了？

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

我從小就學英文了，但我的英文一直很差，大學三年級以後才慢慢變好☺️ （我从小就学英文了，但我的英文一直很差，大学三年级以后才慢慢变好☺️）

It's not "Taiwanese Mandarin". It's the traditional Chinese before the mainland side started the romanization system.
