I still use your old Chinese Culture Conversations Preview Clips for listening content

[@circaeternity]

OMD. He's back. You were one of the main reasons I started learning Mandarin. "Wo xihuan heise de mao" video and I was sold.

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

That's great to hear Lenny! How's your Chinese now?

[@circaeternity]

@@FluentinMandarinDotCom Hi Chris. Much better. We are getting there. Thanks for the tools.

[@oldsachem]

Chris, your enthusiasm is not just inspiring, it practically makes you charismatic.

[@wanderingsoul2909]

Hi Chris, wishing you all the best with your new projects ! You were a pioneer in Chinese languages on KZbin and it's natural for you to move on to other interests / projects. Would be nice to see your daughter on videos too !

[@TheLakers27]

I discovered your video accidentally while surfing KZbin sites for mandarin training. It was cool to see your enthusiasm online. Safely travel!

[@AlexHarris1094]

Sounds great mate! I've been watching your videos since I first began learning Chinese many years ago. Your videos were always a great motivator. I can't wait to see some more Chinese language content

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Great to hear! Keep producing your conteent as well!

[@jilrouch5903]

Thank you two guys Alex and Cris, I started learning Chinese in 2017 because your videos inspiring me so much. I didn’t expected that Alex you know Cris. I am so exciting about it because you are my mentors.

[@Geoffrey_bodemer]

Awesome channel, thank you! We share a lot of common interests, in foreign languages and places. I think it's really great you've really turned your language learning into a career and life! I have spent the last twenty years studying Vietnamese and now starting to learn Mandarin.

[@Kensho79]

Excellent Chris!! Happy to hear about the new life developments and congratulations as well! Your content has been invaluable and much appreciated.

[@farntf1647]

You seem more cheerful and outgoing. Great for you

[@CeleryCarrots]

I subscribed after watching some of your videos during your absence, and It's a pleasant surprise to see you still have plans for the channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, stay safe, cheers!

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Thanks Derek!

[@KellyS74]

Sounds exciting 👍🏻.. Its so nice to hear some positive news at the moment.. I absolutely will continue to support you, I'm learning Chinese (or should I say trying lol) and have found your videos really helpful and inspiring... Its good to see you back on here 👏🏻

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Thanks Kelly!

[@sinfuldavy0]

I also still listen to “ what are the benefits of learning Chinese” “ what do Chinese people eat for breakfast” “ what is the best season to travel in China” you were instrumental in my decision to continue learning Chinese. You were very good but you disappeared on us LOL. Anyways welcome back!

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

That's great that you still find my content helpful! I think they'll be some more listening material soon in the form of content in Chinese

[@yingguojieke]

Welcome back to the UK 英国哥们! have been enjoying your 哔哩哔哩 videos!

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Hi Jack, I just checked out your videos. Are you in the UK now as well? Whereabouts are you?

[@yingguojieke]

@@FluentinMandarinDotCom Hey buddy. Yeah I am in the UK! If interested I'd love to chat with you about a collab? perhaps we can add on wechat? if interested - my email is on my youtube profile - we can exchange wechats through there

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

OK, let me send you an email

[@yingguojieke]

@@FluentinMandarinDotCom Fantastic!

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

​@@yingguojieke Hi Jack, not sure if you will see this meessage. Got an interesting project I wanted to talk to you about. Was looking for you on WeChat, but I coudn't find you. I'll try to send you an email, or maybe you can add me on WeChat if you haven't already, Chris

[@deedee2874]

lovely update

[@qadrbradost9177]

very nice teacher👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DanielLeoSimpson]

Great to see you Chris - 5:26 can you put links in your description for your English course? I love "reverse" language learning and actually have a few. If I need a VPN to access I'll get one :) (I'm in the San Francisco Bay area). Marriage and being a father suits you - you've never looked better! Best wishes for continued success. -Daniel update: Ok "British Little Kerry" I think I found you over there lol :) Nice! :) ________________ Daniel Léo Simpson Composer San Francisco

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Yes you can search for 英国小克里 or 小克里 on any of the big Chinese social media, or I will probably put some of the content on here as well

[@rcheanue]

great to see you back chris - was wondering where you've been - your english accent now sounds a bit americany esp at the beginning of the video - is american english preferred over british english, [or english english as i call it!] now in china?

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Thanks! I think that a lot of people are speaking with American English in China, but that's not really the reason why my accent has changed.I think it's because I had a lot of friends from the US and Canada and also I was not in the UK, I was also listening to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks from the US. But now I'm back in the UK so my accent might get less 'Americany' again!

[@israelrivera835]

Trying to learn mandarin here, It looks like leaning in "frases" (chonks); would make more sense. what do you suggest?

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Yes I think that definitely makes sense

[@ColinPlayzPianoC418Music]

其实我自己是觉得你post到中文的视频是非常帮助我的。谢谢

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

那就好，很高兴我的视频帮到你了

[@artugert]

Please post more of your content here for those of us who don't wish to use Chinese apps, thank you! Seeing how you raise your daughter to be bilingual would be very helpful for me as well.

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Thanks Jason, that's a topic that I plan to talk about (maybe in Chinese though)

[@artugert]

@@FluentinMandarinDotCom Great, of course I would prefer to hear it in Chinese!

[@akua4548]

What was the process of you becoming a translator and interpreter? I am majoring in Chinese and am interested in that career path!

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

That's great. For translation, you can start just by getting a certificate for your Chinese ability then going to clients or putting the word out and start on jobs. For interpreting it would be better to do a formal course or get formal training. Word of mouth is always the best way, and getting recommendations

[@hedyalps3548]

Is it 英国小克里？I am your follower in douyin and xiaohongshu.

[@williamadams7136]

Hey mate nice to see you are doing well. How is China dealing with the virus? Are they under reporting virus cases? Many thanks and kind regards,

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

I'm not sure, in the past they were probably under reporting, but now even if there are more cases than they say, there are still not that many, overall they've mostly got rid of it. There are always problems calculating the number of cases anywhere, because some people don't get tested or don't tell anybody. Hard to really know.

[@bernalbenchar4102]

Let's goooooo

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Yeah!

[@reigninblood123]

800,000 followers in China? Holy cow!

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Yeah, but you know, in China that's actually not a lot....

[@bankbank]

why did you go back to the UK instead of staying in China?

[@burnzy3210]

there was a mas exodus of foreigners in china as they were becoming demonised and mistreated

[@bankbank]

@@burnzy3210 nobody was forced to leave - and if he had Chinese family members (wife), then he certainly would have no problem staying. I doubt that is the reason.

[@burnzy3210]

@@bankbank of course nobody was forced, just heavily goaded. that's the CCP way.

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Mainly so my daughter could go to school in the UK, more stable life in the UK etc, although I will go back on visits to China

[@Gabriel-hs9mv]

You have a Chinese accent in English Chris hahahaha

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Nice

[@sinfuldavy0]

Is Becca your wife? She’s good material bro

[@FluentinMandarinDotCom]

Yes
