Thank you and 恭喜恭喜！兔年快乐！ you have found a VERY under-taught part of Chinese grammar: subjunctive/conditional mood, which describes irreal conditions, counter-factuals, desires, wishes, hopes. 我希望和祝你在兔年你的美梦都会实现！

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

@@QuizmasterLaw 謝謝你！也祝你新年快樂🐰🥳

[@hoangthanh0210]

Can you share chinese alphabet?

[@QuizmasterLaw]

@@hoangthanh0210 As a Viet you may know? Chinese characters generally represent sounds as whole syllables, not as letters. These syllables are drawn from the kangxi radicals and the dutizi 独体字 . Grace is great and knows better than me but I do think those are two under emphasized aspects of Chinese language teaching.

[@陳庭安-c7u]

Hi Grace! I'm a native Mandarin speaker, and I'm currently self-learning English. These phrases (Should have / Could have / Would have) have been puzzling me for a while, not quite sure when to use them. But your videos indirectly help me understand how these phrases correspond to English usage. Super grateful for that! 😄

[@patrickstar1164]

I love my dog's cookies too and I don't need regretting sentences for that situation

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

😂😂Okay then

[@ActivelyMike]

You continue to put out fantastic explanations for nuanced topics, and I'm so here for it. Keep up the great work!!!

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Thank you for your kind words and the support! It means a lot🥰 I’ll keep trying my best! 💪
