That's a lovely introduction to measure words! I like the made up categories, it can help in the learning process more than just a simple vocabulary list.

Thanks Jakub for your feedback. It’s not easy to explain things that we grew up with and use every day to people who just started learning. But there’s always a way!

Great video! And 2 of my favorite things - green tea and red wine mentioned ❤ And I was just learning colors 🎉 I also love your inclusion of Chinese poetry 😊

Hey thanks a lot for your detailed feedback! Speaking of poetry, I wonder if introducing a whole poetry 5 characters×4 lines could be an idea...
