Aww thank you for noticing that! 🥰

Last year, I lived in Taiwan for a year as an exchange student. I watched a lot of your content before I went, but once I got back I took a break from studying Chinese for a couple of months. Getting back into it again and glad to be watching your videos again! :D

[@mirceacostache7578]

The way difficulty jumped from intermediate to advanced is scary. But very happy that i got 2/2 in listening and 1/3 in reading in the C1-C2 level.

[@StovallX]

I did the opposite lol. 3/3 in the reading and 1/2 listening *cries in tone deaf*

[@mirceacostache7578]

@@StovallXtotally understand you brother. I listened to 2-3 hours of podcasts every single day for more than a year until i started noticing differences between tones. Now i’m really fine with them but it was a STRUGGLE😂

[@alexwhinnie274]

Interesting to see how rusty my Chinese has got since I left China 4 months ago. Got completely stumped by the advanced ones . Nice video Grace !

[@everblua]

this was really helpful. i haven’t felt comfortable saying i’m at a B1 level because i don’t get as much practice speaking as i would like. but i understand and read quite well at that level. i’m still getting used to reading traditional since i recently switched over 😅 it has messed with my confidence a bit because i sometimes feel like a beginner again. this was great for getting more insight into where i’m at, especially for the tocfl. thanks for sharing this!

[@WelcomeOuattara]

您的英语很好。多谢了给我考这个考试， 我很高兴❤❤❤

[@johnnykleytonful]

I'm at B1-B2 level. Great content.

[@onegram99]

Excellent video Grace, really well thought out and useful! It's important to know where you're at to progress... I guess the only caveat I have is that studying for tests like TOCFL or HSK don't really prepare you to have complex conversations with actual native speakers very much, in my experience of speaking Chinese for 10 years. But if you need to pass them for entrance into university or for work, it makes sense to work to pass a test like this. Some people do thrive in a more structured environment too, so there is that as well.

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! You’ve made a really good point! I’ve noticed this as well, which is why I’m currently working on creating learning resources on Patreon to help learners truly understand native speakers and communicate with them in a very natural way😉

[@onegram99]

@@GraceMandarinChinese excellent idea, I benefited a lot from watching native speaker Chinese KZbinr's vlogs, but to have content like that which is more focused on leaners is excellent 👌

[@tronix4732]

B1-B2 level ! C1-C2 太难了 🤣

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

B1-B2 很棒了！

[@zoolity]

4/4 on A1 - A2 ! 3/5 on B1 - B2 (had to guess 3 and got 1 of them right. Was a 50/50) I guess im currently about B1 reading and listening. A1 writing and A2 speaking (maybe low B1?) Thank you

[@genace]

Thanks! This was fun. I scored around intermediate in this test. I’ve gotten much busier the past couple years so my progress has really slowed down😕I still try to watch your videos and some vlogs so I at least don’t forget too much.

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

It's very heartwarming to know that even though you're busy, you still watch almost all of my videos! Thank you so much! 🥺✨

I was getting all the answers right until the advanced questions started lol Btw, here's what I understood of the intermediate level dialogues (corrections are welcome): . . . . . . 這些菜聞起來好香，味道更是沒話說。 謝謝，我對做菜一直很有興趣，我也喜歡吃自己煮的東西。 老師要我們寫的作業，你寫得怎麼樣？ 我想了好幾天，還是寫不出來。

[@jagason7494]

this might be a sign to touch up my Chinese. the intermediate questions would be easy for me last year...

[@m.2383]

Thank you so much for making a video on this. I never know what level I actually am. And lets be honest, resources for anything that isn't simplified china Mandarin are incredibly rare 😭 This is perfect ~

[@LinkAnn-sn8lz]

native chinese don't usually speak more than one dialect and most speak mandarin so why no choose madarin

[@wktmalsMoli]

Can I please ask what are the differences between HSK and TOCFL? Is it simply that the HSK is from mainland and the TOCFL is from Taiwan? I wonder if there’s a difference in the difficulty of the questions too? Like a HSK 4, HSK 5 level would correspond to what? Just genuinely curious that’s all 🙏 I enjoyed the video very much, thank you!😊

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You can find more details about your question here: tocfl.edu.tw/tocfl/index.php/test/reading/list/8 (Click “HSK” at the top right of the page). There's a chart comparing how the levels correspond to each other and to the CEFR framework. I hope this helps!

[@SimaShangde]

@@GraceMandarinChinese It seems that they have it only for the old HSK. New HSK has a bit more similar requirements to TOCFL, with a little twist on advanced levels.

[@qq5369]

I'm glad to know the TOCFL Test! In the C1-C2 level, is it normal that I forgot the Listening content when doing question 2?....

[@errgo2713]

C1-2 listening 0/2; reading 3/3... I hate TOCFL 😅

晚上好 Grace 太太，我 祝 您 圣诞快乐❤❤❤🎉

[@AlfredVeevers]

I am where I thought I am. I did A1-A2 with ease, but though I could read some of the text in the intermediate section. I couldn't understand the spoken question. So I feel I am on the border between beginner and Intermediate.

[@ElezaAnwar]

Hi my name is lezza I just want to say thenk you very much ❤❤❤❤also i want you to tell us how we can learn chinese characters free and written it please i don't found anyone to help in it please my age is 11 i love china and im from Britain

[@carlsonliao3100]

The final question is just way more difficult than the other ones. I think you can even put it in the entrance exam for Taiwanese junior high students

[@ericab3919]

Can you do tocful with only simplified? Will they give simplified questions too? Do you need to know how to handwrite?

[@Alessandra00215]

谢谢🫶🏻 您的视频都又有用又有意思的 :)

[@Flyingsearat]

I got all of A1-A2 right and the first conversation + fourth fill in the blank of b1-b2 correct , should I just say im a2 ?

[@kirillnovik8661]

B1-B2 level. Still got stuck in the listening part a little bit. I believe you shouldn't really worry about this test. Just use Chinese in real situations and remember that tests are a separate skill to master (almost like aside from listening, speaking, writing and reading, there is also "test taking" 😄😄😄) 我真不喜欢应考教育

[@artugert]

I was a little confused by the question at 9:06 報導最後指出，消費者該擔心什麼？ At 8:15, it says (if I heard it correctly): 作為一個消費者，可能得祈禱這家慢遞公司的生意越做越好，不要在寄送時間到之前就倒閉了。 Of course, it implies that if the company goes out of business, you might not get your package, but I just didn't think about that for some reason. I also missed the last one, since I didn't know 沖淡,could be used that way.

[@Redfield8684]

这个题是挺难理解的，A就是把信给弄丢了，这文中没说这方面的内容，所以不选；B没办法立刻寄到，人家就做的这个生意啊，图的就是没法立刻寄到嘛，所以也不选B；C的公司生意太好影响效率，这点也没说，他文中说的意思跟效率没关系，所以综上所述只能选D了，这题确实不太好理解，我一个中国人都听了两遍，其实就直接说个“消费者怕公司倒闭之后他们的订单都没人完成了”就好😂

[@matthewheald8964]

I made it through all of the spoken questions for A1-A2, but I messed up one of the written ones because I’ve been learning how to speak it, not read and write the characters. Is it bad for me to learn how to speak the language well & then come back to characters to learn how to read?

[@KKFan592]

Why is it 当爸爸了 as 成 might stand for 成为 = to become ? 👉🏻👈🏻

[@zoolity]

Also HSK is accepted in china right?

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Yes!

[@ivanlinuxandunix]

The problem with this is that I learn through comprihensible input. My grammar is pretty good but I accquired words that are not in this test. A better test would be testing your grammar and how you can express yourself in Chinese. Not knowing the word for clean as in a clean room should not be what is tested for.
