[@hey-kh7te]

I'm 11 and I'm obsessed in with china i really love ur chanel i learned some Chinese but i couldn't learn very well cuz it was a bit hard but ur teaching is amazing it all by u i learned some Chinese i can speak a little right now

[@HarbinMandarin]

I'm so glad to hear that. Happy learning! I'm sure you can do it! 😊

[@jaydenkristoff1543]

I liked all of you’re video’s

[@byrenyan3162]

Nothing is impossible forr a witing man come on

[@johancoetser906]

Look up Mattias Ribbing on youtube. He will teach you memory techniques that are simple yet really work. I use them myself to learn Japanese...

[@areader4000]

After mastering some Chinese and Chinese characters, it'll be easier to learn Korean and Japanese. Cos 70% of Korean written vocabularies were from Chinese, while Japanese language also uses a lot of Chinese characters.

[@quach8quach907]

Traditional Chinese characters are also used in Japan in Kanji (Han Writing).

Never seen such a comprehensive big picture - oracles to seals and then calligraphy, seals are still a thing (I got one when I was in Shanghai), then the facts behind the simplification process. Much better understanding of the beautiful Chinese characters. .

Respected mam, I have been learning Chinese from your you tube channel..your lessons made my learning process easy..I am really thankful to your free video lessons mam. And now when I plan to take hsk level 1 exam. I donot know how to apply for exams, ie in which website to apply and whether complete online exams are there or where the exam centre is. Kindly please assist me with how to apply and attend exams online, I am residing in India, Tamil Nadu, Chennai. Here in Chennai ( city where i reside), There are few institutions which take classes and assists students for exams, when i approached them regarding this ,they said they will help only if i join in their class as a their student. I cannot afford for the fees which they charge here mam and also I am more comfortable with self learning and I feel more productive when i learn from your channels and from other internet sources.. Is it possible to assist me regarding this mam..I will be very thankful to you..

Mainly the base is pictorial. The mode and style may be different in the different historical period, so went to language evolution.

[@eliendayambaje5744]

谢谢你 老师 我喜欢

[@HarbinMandarin]

不客气！😊

[@kingarthur1217]

Why is the symbol for horse used as a question article?

[@HarbinMandarin]

Good question! The question particle 吗(ma) is a semantic phonetic compound, which means part of the character gives hints about the character's meaning, and another part gives hints about its pronunciation. 吗 has 马(horse) in it because the pronunciation of 吗(ma) sounds similar to 马 (mǎ). Please watch my new video to get more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2nUdY2rZpmkm7c&t

[@yasminejade]

Traditional characters are also common in Malaysia singapore. It is simplistic to just say simplified or traditional are used in here and not there

[@kellyt8836]

Laoshi…what program do you use to do your presentation/video?

[@marcemile6346]

老师您辛苦了^^ 教师节快乐！ 中秋节快乐🎉

[@HarbinMandarin]

谢谢你Marc! 😘

[@abdulakbar1283]

Hello Teacher . All of your lectures are very good but many of your students want to learn writing this language . Therefore it is requested that you prepare some classes on the strokes ,characters etc . Also you have to tell the correct strokes order for certain characters and words . Thanks for reading my comment.

[@HarbinMandarin]

Hi Abdul, I will be doing that soon. First, I'm making some lessons to introduce Chinese characters, and after that I will start teaching the characters including how to write them.

[@narlyyy]

If I understood you correctly, now in China, in textbooks and all official documents use the simplified Chinese characters?

[@Nana24275]

谢谢

[@HarbinMandarin]

不客气😊

[@thuhan7181]

Thank you! 😊

[@sensen3236]

If I'm learning Chinese to read Chinese novels, is it better to learn the traditional characters rather than the simplified?

[@AnilSaini-dc3lr]

Ni hao mam Please create a New video Mandarin alphabets I am form India. I am learning Mandarin language from your channel

[@quach8quach907]

Chinese is not an alphabetic language. It is a glyph (pictorial) language. You cannot transmit a movie through the radio.

[@jonalizabalili2411]

Next please introducing yourself in mandarin. We need for those who will go to taiwan. Hope you can read. Your the only one who is good.

[@ikerina]

The characters are beautiful but still difficult to be learned/memorized even tho they have simplified 30% of it 😭

[@pedroaraujo9093]

Muito difícil esse idioma😉✌

[@spindashtv]

The mandrin word 木 actually means wood.
