Malaysian here. When I saw people struggle with pronunciation, I always ask them to repeat the vowel for few minutes, like āáǎà for 2-3 minutes. It helps most of them increase the accuracy of tone, I hope it will help anyone who is interested in Mandarin.

How long have you been studying for in total?? Your tones are amazing what do you do to practice tones? Do you listen to phrases while watching the shows and repeat or just long time exposure to the tones? when you watch movies do you watch with mandarin subtitles or english??

你好，😀 I also recently started learning Chinese. I had a very big challenge regarding where to start from But now, I've gotten it right💃. Remember, Chinese is divided into 6 HSKs. I recommend you start with HSK 1. I can say more if you're interested. Between late last month (March) and this now, I've been able to learn how to pronounce, read and write 50 HSK 1 characters and even how to use them in a sentence. Its really amazing 😊 And by the way, I also just started my KZbin channel.

[@paulwalther5237]

I just started studying mandarin a month ago. I found a chrome add on that lets you watch mandarin subs with pinyin and English subs too. It’s getting more and more useful the more vocabulary I learn. I’m stressing out a little on the tones. So many people say to study them right up front but I don’t really know how to. I use SRS flashcards for vocabulary and if I grade myself wrong because I forgot the tone even if I remember the pinyin etc it’s too hard and my head will likely explode. I don’t want my head to explode so I need to be careful.

[@sharmaine28]

what is the add on called for the mandarin subs?

[@paulwalther5237]

@@sharmaine28 Language Learning with Netflix. Yeah I think it's appropriately named. I think I also use a pop up dictionary add on too that works with it.. or it has a built in dictionary I am not sure which. The pop up dictionary I have is Zhongwen - Chinese to English dictionary.

[@sharmaine28]

@@paulwalther5237 thanks !!

[@rainnnnn28]

Update? How are you going? I've been studying mandarin for 3 weeks and tones have gotten easier for me to grasp (and I stopped stressing too much) after I started learning them by group and not individually (as recommended by a youtuber). What I do is I take a word or short phrase and learn how it sounds all together. I practice the right tones multiple times. Don't focus on the individual tones too much because you won't be saying each one individually in real life and the tone might change depending on the tone change rules/character next to it. But if you want to memorise it one by one, I recommend saying it out loud while "drawing" the tone level with your hand at the same time multiple times. But, practice saying the word/phrase out loud first as a group multiple times (to master the correct pronunciation as a whole and make it stick) and then break it down. Use pleco or yt to help guide you. Not only you will memorise how to say a phrase correctly, you will also be able to memorise the individual tones. Practice with long sentences too once you get comfortable :)

omgoodness i feel this. I got a new Chinese teacher this year and she actually makes us talk in Chinese. Yes, she speaks in English so that we can understand, but she teaches us Chinese and still says things in Chinese.

[@kaimm1080]

I recommend watching donghias! You could basically call them chinese anime, but it's better if you avoid the term because sometimes those circles can get quite messy if you don't respect the terminology - many of them are short (20 minutes long generally) so it helps if the one hour episode is initmaditing (I love dramas but I just cannot sit for so long and watch it straight in one viewing) . If you watch it in their youtube channels (Tencent or bilibili) there are simplified chinese subs AND english subs! There is no pinyin though but it helps to recognize characters. Finally, put down yours goals with Chinese - I want to read chinese content so jumping straight to characters is important but since caligraphy is not really urgent to me my written hanzi can look like chicken scribbles (I practice the strokes in apps because I hate writing them on paper). Also, when learning a new character SEARCH FOR SENTENCES WHICH HAVE IT. If you negate this you are going to end up knowing every single character and still not understanding what's going on.

Huh, that's an interesting video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

[@dumplingsuwu6691]

Yeah I'm self studying Chinese too It's really interesting and fun But sometimes it gets me feeling really exhausted.

[@bubuscreations7718]

你好，😀 I also recently started learning Chinese. I had a very big challenge regarding where to start from But now, I've gotten it right💃. Remember, Chinese is divided into 6 HSKs. I recommend you start with HSK 1. I can say more if you're interested. Between late last month (March) and this now, I've been able to learn how to pronounce, read and write 50 HSK 1 characters and even how to use them in a sentence. Its really amazing 😊 And by the way, I also just started my KZbin channel.

@@sashanahenry9706 Wow. You're welcome. Korean Hangeul is very easy to learn. I learnt that within a week and kept practicing. But the grammar is a little bit difficult. I'd be sharing how I started writing characters as well. I wanted to be well grounded. That was why I'm simultaneously learning both pronunciation and writing. It's nice meeting you.😀

Wow nemu juga orang Indonesia yg belajar bhs mandarin (banyak sih cuma akunya aja yg ga ngerti nemuinnya gimana). Btw, aku juga lagi belajar bahasa mandarin, sebenernya dah lama, cuma on-off-on-off karena setiap kali belajar aku selalu terhalang sama yg namanya tujuan. Awalnya aku belajar bhs mandarin karena pelajaran sekolah & kuliah, tapi skrg sbg org yg sudah lulus dari dunia pendidikan, tujuanku belajar mandarin pasti bukan lagi krn nilai, tp karena aku pingin merasa lebih terhubung aja dengan leluhurku. Tau sendiri kan kita sbg org Indo keturunan Cina ga paham apapun soal budaya dan keseharian leluhur kita, dan aku pingin ngerti itu lebih jauh lagi sekaligus menurutku bhs mandarin itu enak didengar, suka aja aku dengernya. Tapi semakin kesini, semakin aku tu bertanya2 lebih detil lagi tujuanku bljr bhs mandarin tu apa sih, itu yg sampe sekarang gak nemu, sampe aku rasanya ga enak sama laoshi-ku karena on-off-on-off itu tadi. Tapi selama 1 bulan ini aku berusaha utk self-taught juga, aku pingin mencoba utk belajar sendiri dl dan kl udah yakin mau belajar terus, aku baru kontak laoshi-ku gitu rencananya. Tapi lagi2 aku stuck sama yg namanya tujuan. Kalau boleh, sharing donk, apa sih yg jadi pendorong semangat seorang Jennifer Liem utk terus belajar bahasa mandarin? Terima kasih ya ^^

yall help me outt! I wanna learn a new language so bad but I'm still questioning myself if its worth-it,is it worth it? I'm also debating between Thai and Chinese, which should I pickk?

[@camilajuarez5165]

any language that you pick will be worth it :) I think u can start learning the language that motivates you the most for whatever reason (if u want to travel, career, etc). You can practice with natives in apps like Tandem or Hello Talk so you don´t feel like youre learning it for nothing

I find it extremely difficult to differentiate between initial sounds like z, c, j, q or ch, zh. They sound virtually the same for me. How can you learn these sounds? And where can I find a good source or course that teaches this? Xie xie ni.

[@zhifengshi8363]

Hi,sorry to bother you. I'm a Chinese guy who have been studying English for many years. I can understand native speaker very well but never got fluent in English. Recently I added an Ameican man as a friend by WeChat. I'm helping him learn Chinese. In order to let him understand Chinese, I'll translate Chinese to English. So by doing this I got the chance to practice English. So long story short. If anyboy who is fluent in English wanna practice Chinese with Chinese native speaker. Feel free to add my WeChat ID han4shen5. You're always welcome.

[@tymanung6382]

Several youtube teachers explain these, like Ask Andy, Shuoshuo Chinese, Grace Mandarin ? etc. 6 of those consonants were invented in 1500s by "Mandarin" speakers. When we see the International Phonetic Alphabet spellings, we see 3 series s z (sort of dz) c (ts) sh zh (sort of j ) ch (close to, English) x (sort of flattened,.hissing version of sh, also in Polish?) j (sort of j , but = sort of d + x ) q (sort of ch, but based on t + x) IPA Chinese letters make very clear all these 3 sets of 3 related sounds that start + 1 sound, then adds 1 of 2 possible sounds. Hope that these help. Zhu, ni, hao yunqi!!! Jia, you!!!
