Thank you for the China's Taiwan lesson

[@shortsale]

Do you offer a printout of the phrases and meanings including pinyin? That would be very useful. Excellent lesson!

[@michellethong8476]

Love these useful phrase videos - they really help bridge the gap between sounding like I learned from a book to sounding far more natural. Thank you!

[@wsudance85]

我也這樣覺得喔！

[@Live_chin]

I won’t to be one of them

[@unstoppablezone4980]

These are indeed very colloquial and useful. Living in Taiwan for 46 years I can assure you these are essential.

[@thedustwhispered]

the way you offer similar expressions for the same meaning, explain nuances, and supply example conversations and drama clips, is all super helpful. i'm one of those chinese-americans who can understand more or less, but can't speak well, so i'm trying to expand my vocabulary and phrasing with your videos. i'm really glad i found your channel, keep up the good work!

[@RetroPhonicMedia]

I have been in China for 9 months now and I really love the place but I'm struggling with the language. In particular I have been struggling to find useful common phrases people use on a daily basis. I find it quite easy now to express myself and how to speak about daily life but my listening is much weaker than my speaking. Thank you so much for your videos, you've earned a sub for sure :D

[@DS-uo1zy]

hey are you still in china or back home, how is everything going?

[@RetroPhonicMedia]

@@DS-uo1zy Yup, life is great!

[@WenAtan]

I always enjoy the clips from TV shows with examples of phrases, but this is the first time I've actually watched one of them! Rest Your Head on My Shoulder was the first show I watched after I started learning Chinese. It's still one of my favorite mainland China shows.

[@mslincantonese]

喜歡Grace每次的講解＋例子，影片後製也很厲害！😉

[@antoniolocsin1831]

😂

[@laurenR_]

the way you used a clip from one of my favourite Chinese dramas

[@nagasolaire8462]

I really wish your channel grow fast. Thank you for your videos! I couldn't find any KZbin channel like yours, with such good useful tips for people who are beginners. It would be great if you do something like podcast talking about anything that interesting to you but using not complicated language for beginners. But of course it's nothing but my thoughts. Thanks again!

[@YugeYun]

I was hoping there would be a channel teaching Chinese with example clips from dramas and I found it! Thank you! It's so much easier to learn sentences when you hear them in more natural setting than text book audio.

[@bobo568]

Yesss I agree. After watching Chinese films I realized I’ve been pronouncing Chinese words very unnaturally 🥲 So it helps to fix your pronouncation

[@LocatelliCorinthians]

Amazing video! thank you so much! best regards from Brazil :) 谢谢，老师

[@minervahn]

I’m so glad that I found your channel, Grace. I’ve been binging over your videos because they’re very useful and easy to understand for me. I can watch it while I’m chilling without feeling I’m in the middle of studying. Hope to see more videos! 💗

[@KongSiXin]

All of your videos have been soooo useful, but I think that this one may even be the most useful one yet! These phrases are incredibly important in real conversation. I love how your examples simply illustrate the contexts that these phrases are used in! 非常感謝！

[@SimpleChineseYoutube]

I can confirm! These are all very commonly used in China! I love the real-life examples you use!

[@tacitozetticci9308]

Hey you should make videos together!

[@tacitozetticci9308]

Hey you should make videos together!

[@SimpleChineseYoutube]

@@tacitozetticci9308 That would be awesome!

[@theperson278]

You are the best teacher!! Thanks Grace!

[@ALLTHERAGE1996]

Thank you for putting in the traditional characters! This channel is one of the few that add traditional characters to the lessons. 謝謝你🙏🏻

[@baouyennguyenvo7689]

谢谢你的视频。我很喜欢你用英语解释的方式。你解释很清楚也很简单。谢谢你

[@pauljh6478]

So happy I found your channel! Very useful phrases. Thank you!

[@ករុណាឆាយ]

I have been waiting for you so long❤

[@themaple_dusk]

我经常听到我的汉语老师说，”没错。“ Otherwise, I've never heard of any of the other phrases you mentioned in the video. That aside, very informative video as always. 谢谢你！

[@anasmirza346]

你的每一个视频都有无数宝贵的教训，非常感谢你的努力

[@coloredcloud9717]

"教训" is used in negative expression It's better to use "资讯(information)" or "教材(teaching material)" Ps. I'm a native Chinese speaker :)

[@Juncboks]

Put your head on my shoulder! I loved that show! When I get more comfortable with mandarin, I have a list of shows to rewatch and that's one of the first. Love it

[@thelucciola4534]

thank you so much for your videos. clear, simple and really interesting. Cheers from Italy

[@manimdead949]

Thank you for these helpful videos

[@nadee_sn]

Thank youuuuuuuuu This is exactly what I was looking for ❤

[@th0rne_999]

Thank you, these are amazing! I love that you both included yourself pronouncing the words in different speed levels as well as included a clip of someone saying the phrase in a movie! It makes it easier to know how it sounds in normal speech that way. 谢谢你！

[@aefc843]

bonus: use "卧槽" for literally everything to really sound like a native speaker on the internet (you can use anything that sounds similar in PinYin form, for example "我靠“ and "我艹“ also work fine

[@devinrichmond8207]

😁 Now I’m ready to show off what I just learned! You’re awesome thank you👏

[@Phoca_Vitulina]

This was really great, thanks! I'm always looking for phrases and just stuff people say in daily conversation since I want to be conversationally competent for when I go to China at some point in the future!

[@florenciadwisela1147]

Thankyou Grace! I always like the way you explain things, it's easier to get and not boring

[@maxpower2617]

This is the most useful Mandarin language video I've seen so far 👏 thank you

[@ESL_Jigsaws]

Great video. Would love it if it were broken into two videos, one with the easiest shortest ones and one with the harder ones.

[@kylefong2888]

TYSM for continuing to teach Grace!

[@darielleyson4037]

15 个非常有用的将帮助我更像当地人。我会尽量和我的中国朋友一起使用。谢谢， 老师。😊

[@AzazQsqs-q4j]

您是最好的语文老师，谢谢您

[@toledodiazkatyaandrea6148]

thanks! I was looking for more natural phrases in the daily lifea and i found this really useful :)

[@bladedragon8825]

very helpful thank you

[@txtsbkpp]

just realised i've watched some of your other videos and they were very helpful, subscribed! the amount of pyhoms clips in the video,,, they're kinda making me want to rewatch it cause when i first watched i barely knew any chinese

[@genace]

Hmm, I think I hear 幹嘛, 沒錯 or 對啊 the most. These are all so useful…thanks Grace!! I’m busier lately but I’ll still try to memorize all these👍

[@chungchhen]

Hi Grace! Another great video as usual. Thank you so much, and I love your sense of humor. Hahaha! Keep'em comin please.

[@DarthRoo]

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful!

[@I_scream576]

Dear Grace, thank you so much for your channel, I've started learning Chinese about a month ago and your videos made the process easier, fun and much more effective! You're a great teacher, happy af that I found a girl who teaches real life language, not textbook one! In the lesson about food there was so much animal stuff! But.. How do you say "I'm a vegan, I only eat plant food?" Please, make a lesson for people like me 🙏 Just saying "我不吃肉和鱼, 我不喝牛奶" isn't satisfying :) Btw, are there many vegetarians and vegans in China? 谢谢你，Grace 老师 🥰

[@anasmirza346]

我很欣赏你使用的方法。我希望你继续努力

[@AtomicSquid5433]

hell yeah. Thank you for this video!

[@chinesewithting5185]

Congratulations, Grace. I did check different sites, but I like your site because you are very to the point.

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Glad you like it ✨

[@HannahSaidLikeHana]

Didn't expect to see so much of 林 一, but I'm not complaining. I think using examples from dramas is a great way to learn Mandarin.

[@angelicarivera4624]

im glad i found u, i really enjoy your videos!

[@MegaWoonsen]

I love your channel and all of your videos ! they are all useful and can use in a real life unlike in textbooks hahah. Thank you :)

[@woodies2009]

Thanks, Grace! As usual, I could get to learn a lot from your video! ;)

[@dabadshoes8658]

This was really helpful but there are a few phrases I need to practice as well as finish the getting started with Chinese course.

[@danedrennan]

I am an American expat who just moved to China a month ago and your videos are helping me so much 🫶🏼

[@gizelop8481]

Thank you, enjoy your method of teaching, I can clearly discern your annunciation of word

[@NickvonZ]

EXCELLENT, as always! Thanks!

[@TheSarenarass]

[@racheljenn1628]

I love these videos, thanks so much for making them!! I’d love to learn more about native/polite phrases to say when interacting with the general public eg. When leaving a cafe, “Have a great day!” :D

[@averagewanderer1732]

Very well done. Thank you.

[@NekoJoyT]

We use a lot 好了 in my Chinese clases to tell the teacher we finished something they asked us to do lol. Good video.

[@petermhart]

Thanks for posting - nice idea to use the video clips to illustrate the different phrases - I see that "Put your head on my shoulder" is available to watch on Netflix so I will take a look.

[@paulinelai4690]

OMG my fav Lin Yi! Love your video!

[@billvalley]

[@WorldWideSk8boarding]

Some of them were so easy and fun to learn/say, I LOVE THIS! You think it will be ok if I say some of these to my fellow Asian classmates? Im worried they will laugh at me or think im being offensive 😅 but i just love asian cultures

[@sastravithkhieu9353]

Good learning Chinese language!!❤

[@nusratjahan99924]

You are awesome teacher. ❤️

[@rinrachana7228]

hello Mrs Grace I'm your student from Cambodian🇰🇭 and I suggest you make a video of measure words like Kg, g, Km, mm,.. thanks🙏

[@FantasyMelody-dt7]

thanks you very much for videos

[@wenyewlee]

i think your videos are really good. even though you have a bit of an accent speaking english, your english translations are very accurate and natural

[@MKVideoSinzig]

Hi Grace, thank you for this informative video! It's good to know these phrases and with the help of your video learning them is quite easy! Have a good time in the cold northern US. The region where you are can be very cold - especially for people from relatively warm Taiwan (tough little country!).👍

[@lamtuvi]

Thank you very much !

[@woyingzhefeng]

太好啦! 谢谢你哦 🎉
