Seems like I've been doing this for the 2-3 years that I have been actually self-learning Chinese! I can totally vow to this method. My parents are Chinese but I grew up outside of China. My mother tongue is Taishanese which is totally different from Mandarin. After moving to the U.S. and seeing that so many people here know mandarin and their mother tongue (any Chinese dialect) I FELT SO EMBARRASSED I DIDN'T. My cousin introduced me to Hong Kong dramas (Cantonese is similar to Taishanese both come from the same region, Guangdong) but I stirred away into Chinese dramas. I started watching with English subs but then I fell in love with many Chinese actors and well decided to watch their dramas regardless of English subs. Since a year ago, I started to not care if there are subs or not, I will watch it. Now, I can fluently speak to my mom in three different dialects which is AWESOME!

I started watching Chinese dramas which increased my interest in Chinese, then watching KZbin videos, building glossaries and I just finished my first semester of Chinese at a community college and did very well in the class. I’m enrolled in the second half. This year I had planned to travel either to Taiwan or China then the pandemic decided otherwise. There is nothing better than traveling to the country where they speak the language. It’s baptism by fire. When I was learning French, traveling to France and having conversations with French friends increased my understanding of the culture, the institutions, how people really speak, not text book French. I hope next year I’ll be able to travel again. Getting my Covid vaccine in a week or two. I work in healthcare. Hope everyone in the world will also have access to one and we can get somewhat back to normal. Stay safe and keep learning and growing. Never too late to learn. I’m in my 60’s.

It was Chinese dramas that got me interested in learning the language in the first place. At 68, I have been learning through both online courses and through watching the programs. At first I thought I would never learn this language but as the time has gone on, I am surprised at how much I know. I am no where near proficiency in the language and am always looking for ways to up my learning. I just find the language so fascinating and have made the learning a part of my daily routine. I just found your KZbin site today and look forward to viewing your videos. I am a far cry from speaking the language comfortably with someone who's mother tongue is Mandarin, however, my comprehension grows stronger each day which is encouraging. Thanks for creating your channel.❤️

I'm a polyglot and I've been studying Chinese for a few years now. And I suck. I'm subscribed to your channel exactly in order to listen to (high quality) Chinese. But this wasn't the base of my study. My method was veeeeery different. But I applied what Matt recommended and I feel it works so well...

Like, the thing, I have been studying Chinese for 5 months and of course I first did some basic stuff like grammar structures etc, but I NEVER actually sat down and memorized vocabulary by heart. Immediately 1 week later I started watching stuff in Chinese, let it be Tv Shows, interviews, whatever. That's the thing why now my listening skills are very good as well as my pronunciation. That's the 1st thing I recommend, be around your target language as often as possible. Every night I spend 2 hours watching Tv shows in Chinese and I have a book where I write down stuff I come across while watching. Now my booklet is full, so I am having a new one. Also, I ask my "language parent" the next day about things I didn't understand the night before, let it be grammar or something else. Now however, because I am better at Chinese than 5 months ago, I started creating vocabulary lists, organized "to do with people - verbs", example 羡慕 or 接。, as well as adjectives or also phrases, such as 有好处,泰然处之,有自信。。and so on. All those are what I have come across in those shows/interviews. What I mean is that, for ME personally, it could not have been any better, because how can one possibly improve faster than when having real life input, analysing it, speaking it, asking about it, just generally devoting oneself completely to the language? Also, instead of a teacher I find it better to have a *language parent* , that way you interact way more and you are having more fun (Just my personal opinion).

I definitely know what you mean by a feeling of familiarity with a language even if you don’t understand it. When I was very young, around 3-4, I had Cantonese children’s cassette tapes I would listen to over and over. My dad also taught us enough that I would tell my preschool teacher I need to use the bathroom in Cantonese, even though we were in America. I never got that far in the language since my mom only spoke English and now I’m trying to learn Mandarin and Cantonese, but even though I’m getting more Mandarin than Cantonese, the Cantonese feels more natural sounding.
