Ok, so this might sound kind of weird, but I SO enjoy how fast you talk. It's twice as fast as the average KZbinr and I love it. I literally put every KZbin video on double speed so that I can get through the information faster (some people speak SO slowly) and with yours I can to watch it on normal speed!! Plus, you maintain the same or an even faster pace when speaking Chinese, which is freaking impressive. I'm just starting to learn Chinese and your videos are an amazing resource and so fun to watch

Great video! #2 is especially important, most people don't realize how well repetitive writing works. I took drama for 3 years, and often we were tasked with learning big monologues (and sometimes entire scripts) with less than 48 hours till performing. The best method we used to remember our lines: repetitive writing! We'd write the entire play one line at a time, focusing on that line for dozens (sometimes hundreds) of times before it was engrained into our memories, then we'd move onto the next line. This was all 5-7 years ago and I can still recite whole monologues like they're nothing.

A big tip is when you have basic vocab and grammar down is to keep a journal. No need to write deep thoughts in there just stuff like “today the weather was nice.” Etc just talk about your day and if you use new words put a small “word bank” at the bottom of the page. And just write everyday before you sleep or something!

When learning Japanese, I used ANKI and the heisig method to learn the kanji, and did a LOT of listening to native speakers, watching TV etc. Now that I am in the beginning stages of learning Mandarin, I am recognizing the hanzi even when they have been simplified, or at least I can often guess what it is replacing. That's kind of fun. I was liking Duolingo for chinese, but it started getting into complicated compound sentences rather quickly and I found myself getting frustrated at that when I thought I should be learning more simply sentences just across a broader topic set.

Guys, it's 100% possible to learn how to read Chinese without learning how to write it. As long as you can recognize the characters you can just stick to using pinyin to type on your phone or computer. I'm not that advanced yet (only hsk5) but I've never had any problem on the reading aspect of the language despite only knowing how to write my own name. I also suffer from carpial tunnel so writing was a big no from the start.

Curiously ? Chinese and English verb modes are similar-- they are both isolating, analytical style languages-- few or no verb conjugations etc Both use modal auxiliary verbs and adverbs (Chinese also uses particles) Internet has articles on this topic including ones on Chinese conditional sentences and modal verbs. They are not mentioned among Chinese language teaching videos, nor have any teachers yet? to teach this topic. Chinese partly uses English style to show verb modes. The verb modes exist, but teaching of verb modes is almost non existent.

Then I would listen to it on my ipod over and over again (not back to back necessarily) and I would increase how much of it I would understand. After while, I had picked up enough that I didn't need to indoctrinate myself with the english subs first and I would still understand much of it, but that method requires you mix up material, because for whatever reason...a program, whatever that program is, somehow tends to use a lot of words often and never other words, so mix it up so you pick up new things.

Really loved the video, and your advices are really good! The only part I don't agree with is the usage of simplified characters. Of course it's a subjective choice which character to learn, but from a personal experience I'd say that the traditional ones are way better: they not only look prettier, but I noticed that when you write them down they look better than if you were writing the simplified counterpart, and also by learning traditional ones, it is going to be easier to recognize simplified ones, but from simplified to traditional it isn't that immediate. I've seen University colleagues with great reading ability (in simplified) not regognizing almost any traditional character, which is sad and last but not least: not many people learn traditional, so you look cooler lol... just joking. but it's nice to experience the "true"* writing system, and native speakers (both Mainlanders and Taiwanese) will be very impressed with your traditional skills, if we can call it that lol. *i don't wanna offend anybody! Both simplified and traditional characters are the "true" system, and both have truly beautiful characters, but it's undeniable that some simplified characters are REALLY ugly, like 廣 (t) / 广 (s)... c'mon, they didn't even try lmfao. Learning 繁體字 is worth the effort, and god don't let me even start talking about 注音

Learn vocabulary is perhaps the most encouraging and motivating advice in this video. In Chinese I started it hoping to approch it synthetically, focusing on the one-syllable morphemes, which apparently was how classical Chinese worked. I do think one can get to HSK2 or even HSK3 that way. But by HSK4 it's fairly clear to me that there are so many metaphoric extensions into two syllable words that just memorizing the two or even three syllable words is a better method. I think vocabulary memorization is much more effective in context: you want to learn the word and then see or hear it or both in a sample sentence. There's no shortage of Chinese lessons which do exactly that (daily zhongwen is one example so is carly speaks shuo zhongwen), mandarin corner also offers vocabulary words which are then presented in context with a sample sentence. Mandarin monkey also has such material.

All great tips I'm surprised you didn't mention movies or t.v. series which in Chinese just about always have hanzi subtitles and which are an excellent source. No mention of graded readers the only one I'm aware of is du chinese, which I"ve not had much luck with. You also didn't mention Chinese poetry which is amazing or operas or ballet. I'm at C2 in English French and German, B2 for Russian and Spanish only B1 for Estonian. By now I"m probably HSK4 but this amount of effort definitely would have gotten me to C2 in an Indo-European language. However, Chinese has a vast array of literary and cultural wonders so it's worth all the effort. Conversational daily Chinese is easier than Russian but getting up to speed for literary/scientific level (C2/HSK6) is easier in Russian than Chinese. Pick the language(s) you love. Don't waste time on ancient languages they are not much of a lemma and have been thoroughly worked by generations of scholars. All the ancient philosophy has already been well translated. Modern languages are where its at. Then either pick one language or language family and get to C2 in it unless you are stupid like me and really want a good comparison and literacy in scientific and literary works for scholarly purposes.
