If you're gonna watch C dramas to learn Chinese, I'd recommend watching modern dramas than historical ones. Because in many historical dramas, they may use archaic language that isn't used widely nowadays :D

[@ailin7513]

Thanks for your advice, you're right.. the modern dramas use more everyday phrases, but I feel like in historical dramas they pronounce words more clearly x'D

[@siames3cat]

Some tips✨ 1) For the layout of the characters, the box should have two lines, one going vertically and the other, horizontally in the middles, this allows the characters to be center and all of the chinese booklets for 3-10 in china have that layout. 2) if your from america, its best to say 我是美国人, rather than saying 英国人 because that means your from the uk Just a reminder, its the hardest language to learn and natives only know about half of the 80,000 words and still gets them wrong daily. So your doing great hunny 😩 im native and im not even nearly fluent yet

Hi Jazmine, I am not a native chinese in China. However, I am born as a chinese in Malaysia. Juz want to tell you that you are heading in the right direction in learning chinese. Chinese is no doubt the hardest language I have ever encounter ( I know and can speak fluently cantonese, chinese, english, malay and now a little bit of korean). This is because of the unique chinese character. (You can't really read them by words, unlike english, each of them are different, and each of them carries a different meaning) I am very happy that's someone is interested in learning chinese, it's such a beautiful language (despite I definitely agree on the difficulty) Keep it up ! I am sure that sooner or later you will be able to speak fluently in Chinese !!

[@gwenivercall]

Whatever you watch (and I love the Untamed too!) it's best to watch it on youtube - not because the subs are great (they're not) but because on top of the English there are subs in Hanzi - it's been great for me to recognize characters which I practiced and hear them pronounced too. Also, I've often paused the video and copied out the character to look it up online if I'm not sure. It's how I found out the many meanings of 'gǔn', haha.

what do you think is the hsk level where you can understand most c-dramas?

[@connie_83]

@@hatdoghatdog1570 I mean I'd say that maybe 2 or 3ish? Regardless, watching C-dramas will help regardless, if you're on beginner levels theres also loads of Chinese children's shows or dubs of english ones that you can listen to to help! My brother was learning mandarin (my family is chinese so he's the only one that doesn't know it yet) and he just watched the mandarin dub for My Little Pony on Netflix. It sounds rather silly but a lot of children's TV shows use language thats easy to understand and actually used!

[@themistbrt9008]

I would recommend you to watch Chinese drama about school. It can be quite cliche when it comes to romantic scenes (idk if you like that, but I really do haha). It's a good way I think to listen to everyday conversations between Chinese people and also to get familiar to the pronunciation by listening to common conversations topics

Hello ,can you help me on my chinese .... 🥲

[@s_ilfu5143]

I was born in America, during when i was a child there weren’t many chinese th shows I could watch like Ciaohu, it’s a chinese show for kids and the mascot is a tiger. My parents spoke different dialects. I also have a baby sitter who spoke Taitonese (didn’t spell that right) So i learned how to listen and adapt very quickly. Although I can understand what they can say most of the time, i can’t speak mandarin very well because mandarin and cantonese sound the same to me so my mouth will say what ever is easiest on my mouth. I was pushed to learned chinese when 11, i didn’t learn much because i felt that my chinese teachers were jumping subject tk subject way to fast. Also being around small children didn’t get my excited to learn. I dropped out, my sister did too following me. When seeing other people who speak my assumed language better than me, I feel ashamed. I regret not pushing myself, but when i did back then I would cry if i didn’t get it right. I would make myself frustrated that i wasn’t perfect. Or seeing other chinese people reaching great highest when i’m below them, content. I do want to learn I truly do. Because I know I have an advantage, i can ask others around me yet I don’t use that advantage. Because if i try to start learning i’m afraid of getting things wrong and asking my parents and them ridiculing me. It makes me not want to learn. I cant blame them, both my parents didn’t even get into highschool, I know they mean no harm. They don’t know how to parent well, because they aren’t parent well. So i’ve done my studies on my own, i’ve learned how to shut my feeling. My sister she looks up to me as a mother figure because my mom is not. I can speak to her, she is annoying yes. I don’t understand her just as my mom doesn’t understand me. The thing is my sister follows me right? So when i learn she learns that what my mom also tells me. Another reason for me to learn more because it will benefit my sister. I always didn’t like this, i didn’t understand why my sister couldn’t do it on her own while my whole life i’ve done things myself. I didn’t ask teacher nor parents to help me understand things. I figured it by myself, so why doesn’t she have to? It was selfish of me and i still think like this now. I’m ultimately ashamed of myself lot doing better. I’m sorry this is me ranting about myself not hate to the creator you are doing great! I’m 13 btw not an adult, but when i go to highschool i will try to get into the mindset of learning mandarin by myself. I hope that I won’t give up and half ass it.

Yasss! Someone else who reviews their Japanese while practicing Chinese! I started with numbers, and in some cases, contextually, I can understand a written sentence because of a Japanese Kanji!

I might be adopting some of these techniques! Thank you for this video! ❤

FYI, Chinese words pronunciation has only 5 sound groups: yin, yang, shang, qu, and neutral. If you are interested to know more how these sounds created, you may search them from the Internet, or KZbin: Chinese pinyin tone mark. Note: If the sound of the words are pronounce wrong, it may bring another meaning. Beware of that.

[@285049]

I absolutely love the Untamed, the story is really good and there are so many "moral grey" characters. Plus the main leads characterizations are like "love it". The Untamed is actually based on a web novel by the name of Mo Dao Zu Shi, or The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. Which is a BL (Boy Love) novel, or a relationship between two men. The Untamed itself does not have any BL elements between the two leads due to China's ban on presenting Homosexuality on public television (though the crew was not shy in hinting that there may be something more between the two leads 🤣) But anyway, the show does have a lot of Chinese idioms used throughout, especially between the main characters (they do come from prominent sects after all), so it might be a good idea to use online resources to look up some of these idioms. But other than that, I hope you have fun. If there is anything about the show that confuses you. Feel free to reach out to me. By the way, Netflix has it to where you can turn on Mandarin Subtitles if you need to read them while watching the show because they can talk really fast. (This goes for all C-Dramas) Good luck.

[@TiinkerBells]

@@285049 That's not true. Wangxian are still canon in the show. It's just not explicit. The producers were careful in order to bypass censorship, but it absolutely does have "bl elements".

Although the female actress is filled with controversy, this is still indeed a good drama.

Well to learn a language you have to invest a lot of motivation and effort. Without those two it's going to be hard to learn. I am currently trying to learn Mandarin and Korean and I try to put as much effort and remind myself why I am learning them to keep going. Maybe study one hour per day and commit to that plan or plan according to your schedule. I also try to make my notes for mandarin in Korean to practice my Korean and vice versa (but I still use some English since im still not common with some grammar points) I hope this could help a little and if you do learn I wish you the best

[@jaydenrasmussen1674]

For everyone complaining about the title, read the description please lol. I know she should've said it in another way, 'my journey with a new language' for example. But in the description, it clearly states: "I am so excited to share with you my first 30 days of learning a new language! I'm by no means trying to say that I've become fluent or even an upper beginner because Mandarin is very content heavy and I want to learn the writing system too! It's simply my journey with the language :)". It's just a small mistake, y'all needa chill.

thaks u so much i really loved this video, i speak spanish and i want to learn both chinese and japanese in english and you gaved me a looot of resources, mil gracias linda !

[@annabelreeves6329]

watch Triad Princess!! its based in Taiwan so the accents are different than what you might be used to + theres some native dialect, but such a good show!!

[@gillianl8932]

Not sure if you already knew this but there’s actually free writing practice sheets that you can find online. The website allows you to input whatever Chinese character you want and you can choose to have the sheets show you practice strokes or not, traditional Chinese etc. So it basically customisable and you can print/download.

what is it called?

[@cookingflies4218]

0:50 i never knew the numbers were the same for japanese! I knew that japan borrowed some of their writing system and that the pronounciation is different

[@raydai9541]

Your handwriting is really good!

[@Alankrita_Singh]

Really love to watch this channel and this video is superb

[@sze4977]

1:51 I’m pretty sure that I heard the recording recorded wrongly, the “ what “ in chinese goes like this, the ‘shen’ pitch is lower than ‘me’, I don’t really know how to explain it since i am Cantonese and isnt the best at mandarin, but I still can understand it, hope it helps and happy learning

[@fabi.e8151]

You should watch unrequited love and triad princess! (That one’s Taiwanese but it’s very good!)

[@stellaqian1645]

Good job girl. You're amazing.

[@thejensetterkive]

I needed this! If I can start today

[@umme13]

There are so many "the untamed" fans here.....It's really great to see so many the untamed fan....Honestly I feel so much interest in learning Chinese after watching the untamed

[@xinling7601]

Yes exactly, I want to learn Chinese so badly after the untamed.🔥

[@xinling7601]

[@mio-t1d]

[@jin39838]

omg you are doing so well girl!!! and also your Japanese. btw I'm a Chinese living in Japan right now. keep going!!

[@TanKLoveR]

Great video Jazmine, as a fellow Chinese learner I know the beginning can be overwhelming, right now I'm trying to get out of a rut and finish hsk 3 and start with 4. If you want to watch some Chinese dramas I recommend 都挺好， 棋魂，The first half of my life and Nirvana on fire if you like fantasy it's really good. Keep it up 加油

[@radhasunil9165]

[@kizziemccarthy6217]

There are alot of chinese dramas on youtube however I suspect that not all of the english subtitles are correctly translated. Some dramas are the legend of han yunxi Eternal love of dream The flame's daughter The general's lady Princess agents Maiden Holmes Etc. I hope you find them helpful

[@piapickten]

I have a ton of Chinese dramas. But my top three favorites are, Novoland: Pearl Eclipse, Eternal Love (a.k.a. Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms), and The Princess Weiyoung.

[@yutazenlol3839]
