[@osoiii]

Native here. Toby speaks way better than what I would imagine a beginner would do. Kudos to him!

[@DeShark88]

He says he's been learning “很多时间” - I'm guessing he's been learning for a while but never seriously applied himself to get to a good level of fluency. He knows a fair bit of vocab, but maybe not so much how to string it all together.

[@cmaven4762]

This is a GENIUS idea .... definitely will be referring to this video more than a few times.

[@wingsaber629]

Truly, love this kind of video. Similarly, I watched quite a few 3-levels food type videos comparing cheap, intermediate, and expensive foods. This format is perfect!

[@jansoltes971]

Couldn't agree more! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and learned a ton from it. 感谢老师！👍🙏

[@ralphrodriguez9037]

Dude. That "beginner" can say a lot. He's working hard on that Mandarin.

[@montybeton]

Super interesting video. My takeaway is that the native speaker is a lot more precise in her use of verb phrases. The objects are often the same. For example 朝山, 照过来, 从很高拍下来, 也是可以倒影. Very few Chinese learners would use these phrases.

[@lyah3550]

these types of videos are super helpful. please make more like this!

[@brekkoh]

From my perspective, Xiao Min definitely used plenty of less common vocab, but more importantly she was already quite certain that what she was saying was correct so you could hear in her delivery that she isn't thinking about a word as she is saying it, but rather inspecting the rest of the picture while she finishes explaining the last observation.

[@kenneseyl2819]

Your literally the best Chinese learning channel I’ve ever had, thank you for these types of videos so much!❤

[@MiMingqiu-us4wv]

I think the biggest difference between learners and natives is this idea I’ve read of “Speaking English using Chinese words” (my first language is English). I feel unless I can internalize Chinese grammar, I won’t be able to express and phrase things like Xiaomin was-regardless of vocabulary. At the moment, I’m somewhere between Grace and Zachary. Thanks for the video! Amazing content as always.

[@duozuo]

The best approach I found so far is learning full sentences. For example, back in the '90s when I was an English learner I would get the lyrics of those songs I loved, and type them down instead of photocopying them (we didn't have internet back them, some people even handwrote them). This is a first step memorising something, even more true with Hanzi. These lyrics had grammar mistakes, and we added our own typos, but their sentences stuck with you, and after a few dozens of songs you could actually combine those sentences to fake some real speech (while you were aware you were just like a parrot). So you just collected all these "Lego pieces", but you could actually grow on them, because they (mostly) were real expressions from real people about real life situations. They weren't tailored sentences coming from an official learning book, where they need to hide more complex stuff than you can grasp at your level, they sound so unnatural regardless. The thing is you actually need to combine both sorts of sentences in order to evolve your skills: the real sentence shows you the goal, the tailored sentence shows you the bare-bones starting point, and you need to travel the bumpy road between them.

[@DeShark88]

​@@duozuoyou're not native English?! Your system must work, because phrases like "So you just collected" and "The thing is" really do make you sound fluent.

[@DeShark88]

@@duozuo did I say something to offend you? I was trying to compliment you!

[@duozuo]

@@DeShark88 I'm so sorry, I mistook you for another person who actually tried to attack me. It happened in another thread under another video, it was a xenophobe hating Chinese people. It all showed up in the list of replies to my messages, and I mixed it all up. I read your message quickly, being sleepy, and I got it all backwards, like "don't make you sound fluent". Obviously I didn't talk about you, but it only became obvious now. I don't know how I could compensate you for my huge mistake, beyond deleting my stupid message. This is so embarrassing, and it's all my own wrongdoing.

[@DeShark88]

@@duozuo Don't worry haha! Apology accepted. I really appreciate your tips about "learning whole sentences" and working downwards as well as "learning individual words and grammar" and building up. "Travel the bumpy road between them" will be my reminder when I get frustrated with my progress that it all helps, and knowing that you've achieved a high level of English using this method (to the point that I would genuinely not realise you're not native when reading your comments), is really inspiring! Have a good day! 👍

[@amemandarinlanguagelearner]

Strangely, I’m a combination of all three learners.

[@justinmike0236]

跟我一样

[@photo200]

我也是。我們一些人不根據 HSK系統，反而隨即學。我們會是很多 HSK 等級 的混合。

[@duozuo]

That's actually not strange at all. You can actually keep shifting levels all the time: some day you're advanced, and a couple of weeks later you're seemingly back at square one. It depends on how you interact with your target language. Especially when you learn the language while you live at some place where it's natively spoken, but suddenly you don't really speak it through some period. An example I know first hand: you just go to shops and such places where language is repetitive and never develops beyond a "survival" level, but you only have meaningful conversations with your fellow foreign friends in a language both of you are fluent, unconsciously hindering your skills in your target language.

[@photo200]

@@duozuo yes, another effect I've noticed is that as you get more advanced, you begin picking up vocabulary for more specialized topics that you might be interested in (e.g., politics, medicine, technology, sports, etc.), and after a while you end up being at a high intermediate level overall but with some advanced specialized vocabulary that may not even be included in the normal HSK levels. This happens especially if you interact a lot with native speakers, similar to what you said about getting beyond 'survival' level language.

[@dondongo4036]

This is a perfect excercise for anyone who is learning Mandarin Chinese...xiexie shuolaoshi ❤

[@justinmike0236]

“其中人看起来像是坐在那里要钓鱼的样子” this explanation make my day so funny. 😂😂😂

[@MK-gq8fr]

Such a good idea, this is actually very useful - at the same time, a little disheartening! I've been learning for 5 years now and I was able to basically understand everything that has been said. I even completely get the grammar and the ways the advanced learner and the native speaker build and form their sentences. It makes a lot of sense! But when it comes to describing these pictures myself, I'm still not really able to come up with such good sentences by myself. I would put myself somewhere between the beginner and the intermediate learner. So it's a little frustrating to know that you have the theoretical knowledge and understanding of forming good sentences already inside your head but you struggle to actually manage to make use of them. I guess I just need to practice speaking a lot more...

[@duozuo]

加油！Never despair, learning a language never is a linear process.

[@sarahcrisp9194]

I'm in the same boat! Unfortunately one of the downsides of studying independently is our speaking/conversation skills can end up underdeveloped compared to our other skills. I've started a game with my co-workers (also language learners, to various degrees) of challenging eachother to answer questions. describe, explain, or give an opinion on things around the workplace. It's challenging but 10x less scary to me than talking to a native speaker lmao 😅 wishing you progress and confidence ❤

[@tvl6347]

I have stayed in China for one year. At the beginning I was shy and couldn't express many things, but after a couple months I have spoken more and more. After I while I could feel more confident. The best way is to stay abroad or have some Chinese friends.

[@TRUTHGOSPEL2023]

I must say you’ve always proven yourself to be on of THE MOST CREATIVE and INTELLIGENT老师 on this platform since my following you in 2020. i’m soo sharing this on relevant groups as a sign that we can speak on different levels 不管你是初中高级的学习者。最重要的是自信及珍惜(错/进步）的态度。 爱了爱❤💯

[@natalias5898]

Im currently learning mandarin and im HSK3 but only in vocab and grammar lol i get too much anxiety to speak because im scared I'll say stuff wrong and my tones are absolutely awful right now. Honestly Toby is really inspirational to me because hes a beginner but already is pronouncing the tones pretty well! His memory of the tones is really good too, I can barely remember them without searching the pinyin 😂 thanks for the video!

[@taniadisuria3653]

这个视频好棒哦！请你做更多这样视频。Sometimes the native speaker may not speak fast, but indeed use more correct expressions or more commonly used expression which non-natives are not used to or even may not know.

[@DeShark88]

The other thing I noticed was that the answers were, as discussed, more casual. The answer to "What's your name" is *very* rarely "My name is Joe". 99% of the time it'll be either just "Joe" or it'll be "Well, my mum calls me Joseph, but most people call me Joe". Whereas the non-natives would try too hard: "I am called Joe" or "My first name is Joe". No-one really talks like that. It's not "wrong" per se, but it's not how a native would say it.

I wanted to clock like while the video was playing several times. Pity its not possible. I liked when you interrupted to highlight some factors. I liked the notes at the bottom while the video was playing. I liked that you did this in the first place . Now I know what I need to do because I thought I am intermediate but I see I’m actually bottom beginner because your beginner had some advanced words.

[@photo200]

Cool video! 除了輕鬆地講話，我覺得 xiaomin 用的詞彙還是比其他人複雜，比如她把第三張照片描述為 "池塘" 而其他人都說 "小湖"， etc。

[@salehkettan8277]

This very amazing Idea to think in Chinese, How can I join this meeting classes?😢

[@chinese.with.kristen]

我的takeaways 是，连高级学生偶尔还会犯那种比较大的语法错误(“在穿”跟“穿着”）。然后就像你说的，母语者说话的时候用的词不一定会比高级学生更高级，就是说话时更自然一点。 你的视频总会做得超好，对学中文的人来说超有用，谢谢你！

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

我在采访小敏的时候也一直开玩笑说她使用的词太简单了🤣但好像我们平时都那么说

Oh, 应该是 can be used like that? In Spanish we say "debe ser" in more or less the same situation, which is a word for word translation! 这个视频太牛bi了!

[@SimonFrack]

你的新的头发好看. 🎉🎉🎉

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

谢谢☺️

[@eightballjamal]

I think Grace (intermediate level) will eventually surpass Zachary (advanced). Her tonal accuracy is better. Perhaps this is because she is a native Thai speaker (also a tonal language).
