I can’t afford your course but with your youtube channel i’ve made big progress in my chinese! Thank you for all the tools and methods for free💙

Great to hear it . You should send us an email though, let's see what we can do for you [e-mail]

That's capitalism, folks. Educating yourself improves the world for everyone around you, but cost barriers go up anyway because our society isn't built to make the world better for everyone around you. It's built to make the world better for the ruling class at your expense. Of course this ugly fact isn't the fault of @MandarinBlueprint, who should be compensated by public funds for performing a public service and shouldn't have to lower himself to doing sales.

谢谢您！ 因为你真的帮我们

[@user-vg4cj3lq7z]

In Chinese, the word "注意" (zhùyì) has different tonal nuances depending on the context. For example, if you're a school teacher and your students are chatting during class despite your instructions for quiet, you might use the microphone and say "注意!" ("zhùyì!"). The students would respond with "安靜" ("ānjìng"), meaning "quiet". Yes, indeed, in Asian culture, teachers often manage students in a stricter, more militarized manner. So when a teacher says "注意!", students respond with "安靜". If the teacher cannot hear the students' response, they might repeat the action. However, in everyday conversations, the word "注意" can often be translated as "to pay attention" or "to be mindful". For instance, if someone says, "This document is very important, remember to complete it and hand it to me next week. Please 注意一下." Here, "注意" actually means "to pay attention" or "to be mindful".

I Like to watch Chinese Dramas and pick words from their .

[@antanowrites]

Just made a really cool connectionwhen you said ti means body. I was watching a popular TV show called Three Body Problem (based on a Chinese novel) and there's an alien race in there called the San Ti. And a quick Google search revealed that, yes, San can mean three in mandarin 😂 . So the alien race is literally called Three Body in mandarin.

When you were speaking about tixian I immediately associated it with seeing a ghost... thought you could use the laugh.

[@victoricus1]

funny thing happened when I asked copilot to generate mnemonics for the hsk vocabulary...it just said it is unfair to other learners of chinese, i just dont see how)))

[@numegilz]

Is the custom GPT you're using around 16:00 available anywhere? I feel like I'm missing a link somewhere.

[@MandarinBlueprint]

Sure. here you go chat.openai.com/g/g-g8GryaXde-mandarin-blueprint-s-living-link-generator

[@bumpty9830]

Your mileage may vary, but in my decades of language learning I've found 20 words per day to be a reasonable, sustainable suggestion. 100 per day is VERY aggressive--at the end of a three months of study, you'll have NINE THOUSAND words to either use regularly in daily life, if you're lucky, or to review the hard way. Assuming you only need to review half those words in study, and that you're so good that it only take 3 seconds per review, it would still take FOUR HOURS to see the 4500 words you need to review. If you can't do 100 words a day, the problem isn't you.

[@MandarinBlueprint]

All valid points, and if you wanted, using the techniques in this video you could learn 100 words in a day. Should you want this? Depends on your situation. Most people don’t need to.

[@Rubi_iziss]

First question

[@andrewd6438]

Very similar to the mind palace methods used by some world memory champions!

[@MandarinBlueprint]

Exactly!

[@FlightBoyKizer]

現 two definitions aren’t as drastically different as you may think. Present as in right now, can also be pronounced a different way. And when you present something, you’re making it apparent.

[@victoricus1]

So, I've been playing around with chatgpt and I can't come up with the ideal solution. I'm actually trying to do all of the steps with AI and write the omnipotent AI request so to speak))))...for the chinese character 体现 can you please 1) use it in a typical sentence not longer than 5 words with pinin 2) explain what characters mean separately 3) create a personalized example not longer than 5 words (i'm an ...by trade) 4) create a sound definition link, meaning you should come up with a similar sounding english word (i'm an english speaker). And it just spews out complete gibberish. Any suggestions, guys? Also it would be nice to just do a batch upload of all the words that I 'know' to this AI thing and receive a personalized learning table of phrases and correct usage etc.

[@MandarinBlueprint]

The bad news is - AI is still not competent enough to do all that. While we do hope to create an AI engine that can do about 80% of what you described, the last one for similar-sounding English words might be a challenge because of the natural variations in pronunciation for all languages. For now, one of the best resources at hand is the Pleco app. Search for the word you're looking for, and it will show you how to pronounce it, write it, the pinyin, all the different meanings, how they're used in sentences (not always available for more complex words), and even a breakdown of what each character in the word means.

[@victoricus1]

@@MandarinBlueprint yeah, well, pleco is not exactly user friendly, meaning that it's not a learnign platform, it's rather a dictionary. And the same can be done with TOFU learn and it breaks all the vocab into hsk levels, all for free. But the problem is learning within a context, which can be very personal. Still, this all can be done with ai, if you describe the context thoroughly.

[@johnke996]

How do you learn to write the characters and words ?

[@MandarinBlueprint]

That's a great question! We can assist with that. We teach characters and words through a method known as the Hanzi Movie method.

Hi👋. I have been doing Chinese for a year now and no progress. I am broke so don't have money for recourses. I have watched a lot of "how to become fluent in Chinese" and I am struggling. Do you have a free "how to get fluent in Chinese path". I don't want to necessarily learn the characters. I just want to be fluent. Thanks

[@chinopisces]

Why don't you just watch the whole video? Laziness isn't the quality of a good learner.

[@orliyah-kotelo]

​@@chinopisces but in the intro he says how to memorize 100 words per day. I want a full Chinese course

[@timcrnkovic8991]

Perhaps the fact that you've made no progress should tell you that you cannot possibly come close to fluency by remaining illiterate in the language. I know that social media are flooded with people making videos telling you that all you need to do to learn Mandarin is just to listen to incomprehensible gibberish - they call it "immersion" but in fact it is "drowning." The only way to learn Mandarin without learning characters is to be born and raised as a native Mandarin speaker, hearing that language from the day they were born, and it's a little too late for us to do that.

[@orliyah-kotelo]

@@timcrnkovic8991 thank you for replying 🙏

[@HeyJD123]

Here's how to learn Chinese step by step: 0.5. learn the sounds of the language 1. Memorise HSK1, 2, 3, and 4. Or learn the top most common 1200 words. 2. Use those words in conversation, with listening and speaking. 3. Try to become fluent enough with these that you can ask and answer basic questions in a slow conversation with a friend trying to help. Then watch some kids shows in the language and see how much you understand 4. Learn the rest of the words up to 3000 (or hsk6) 5. Watch movies, listen to songs, try doing native level learning at this point

[@yellowcloud0115]

"也没有理由去要求每个人都要做到对地理的精准记忆" i saw a comment like this in a Chinese interview about geography and i didn't know you can use "去“ like that.. what's of the purpose of "去“ there?

[@chuyihangwang7880]

This "去" is not necessary here.

[@ignitemoment]

Separate different parts of a sentence to make it easy to get orally

[@MandarinBlueprint]

chuyihangwang7880 is right, 去 isn't necessary here, but it's used as an expressive way to talk about doing a certain thing, specifically something you'd "go" and do. E.g.: 我要探讨这件事。 I have to look into this matter. 我要去探讨这件事。I have to go look into this matter. Just like the English versions, the meaning doesn't change much, and it's just a slightly more expressive way to convey the same message.

[@yellowcloud0115]

i see, thank you guys

[@sanjavukovic169]

Your voice is so pleasant but unfortunately everything is ruined by distracting background noise.

[@garden2356]

I've got memory loss.

[@janatlmb2770]

My apologies, this is super difficult for me. BtW can you factor in MIND PALACE that you have introduced earlier. How does it work with complicated characters. I know characters and word are different, I was wondering how you amalgamate it together. I guess you need to learn some hundreds of words regardless how and then you can work on this. You can hardly make a meaningful sentence or a story without knowing a bit. But good tips anyway.

[@MandarinBlueprint]

Hey Janat, so you learn single characters first, which then form more complex characters, and eventually you'll unlock words, followed by sentences, and so on. This is done using the Hanzi Movie method. You can find a breakdown of this here: www.mandarinblueprint.com/blog/chinese-mnemonics/
