Russian Girl ZERO Chinese to MOVIE LEAD in 8 Months (My Student)

[@RitaChinese]

Transform your Mandarin pronunciation in 84 days with our "Finding Your Mandarin Voice" training boot camp: www.ritachinese.com/pron-bootcamp (Starts February 12)

[@alexanderriley65]

Hi, is your Mandarin pronounciation bootcamp going to be a regular thing? I don't think I will be able to sign up for a bootcamp starting Febraury 12 due to scheduling issues but it does still sound very useful so I wondered if the bootcamp would be happening again sometime

[@knowone6429]

I have the same question... Will love to enroll but won't make February's set how long till the next enrolment maybe I'll be ready for that one

[@RitaChinese]

​@@alexanderriley65 Hey Alexander, my boot camp will generally be held twice a year, but I'm having a baby in June of this year, so I'm not sure if I'll be running it a second time in 2024. If you miss this February boot camp, you'll probably be looking at early 2025. That being said, I also have my "Finding your Mandarin Voice" video course. That course guides you through all the initials, finals, tones, intonation, etc. of Mandarin; however, it does not have the 1-on-1 corrections of the boot camp. That would allow you to adjust to your schedule, and you can come for the weekly live streams and participate in any of the discussions in our private Discord group for course members. You can check it out at ritachinese.com/fymv. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I look forward to helping you on your Mandarin learning journey!

[@Bittzen]

This is a good sales pitch. It's making me want to work with you, you seem to be an efficient teacher.

[@stoomkracht]

That was the whole reason. Sell her class. An unrealistic sales pitch if you have the full picture because it leaves important things out. This girl was already busy with learning Chinese in 2018 (probably earlier elsewhere). The movie is from 2013 and needed an old style of Chinese. Hence the 8 month extra training. Still impressive feat of the girl, but this video exaggerates with one purpose and makes the whole thing questionable.

[@essennagerry]

What I learned for me personally, although it's not exactly new to me but you're confirming it for me and it's very encouraging and motivating: Creative problem solving + lots of repetition (smart drilling and patience) + lots of exposure to natural language (including also living life in that language if possible) - it's the combination of these three which I think we tend to underestimate. We focus on how no amount of drilling is a sure fire way to sound like a native and no number of years lived is a sure fire way to sound like a native, but we fail to consider a more complex solution that also takes time to really test out.

@@RitaChinese OMG, thank you for answering me 🥰 actually I have a question I asked so many people but no one could answer...so why isn't there a so called drilling exercise book about Chinese grammar? My first language is not English and when I studied English we did a lot of drilling exercises to practice the given grammar part, to feel more confident about how or when we should use that. But I didn't meet any in Chinese books...I am a beginner and don't know a lot of books, but the few I know are just like introducing the new grammar point, max 3 sentences to practice and then move on to the next unit / grammar / whatever... So do you know these kind of books? Are they existing? Or isn't it common in Chinese? I know it's not related to your pronunciation course but I would be grateful so much if you can help me anyhow with your answer!🙏 ❤️Thank You!😊

Amazing! I wish that I had picked up Mandarin that quickly! I'm still on my learning Mandarin journey, and from the beginning my teachers had me start with pronunciation and tones. I spent about 3 weeks just on these two things and found that most days after my studying and practicing there was a noticeable shift happening in my mouth muscles and vocal cords. It was wild! But I will say that starting with building excellent habits in pronunciation and tones helped me TREMENDOUSLY. So much that even when I was still learning basic words and such, I was impressing my native Chinese speaking friends with my level of understanding for pronunciation and tones. It 100% makes a difference in the learning journey.

That's really cool, but it only works out once you have enough money and time. And an opportunity to pay for the lessons too (which is quite hard to arrange currently in Russia due to sanctions). I'm Ukrainian and currently I do struggle a lot with money after moving to Russia because me and my family are refugees. And I study Chinese myself, but I definitely know that if you are penniless it's gets extremely hard. So... yeah. I mean, it's quite expected of a person to get to that level of speaking a language if that person has the resources. Nothing insane about it. Give this opportunity to me or anyone else who's truly passionate about the subject and we'll be just as good. But nothing comes for free, so.

[@unifieddynasty]

I was wondering how that happened. This is a great example!

[@paulwalther5237]

Interesting story. With language learning motivation is huge. There are so many difficult aspects of the language and it takes a lot of motivation to overcome and learn them - idioms, grammar, vocabulary, etc. I think I'm most motivated to learn vocabulary because it helps the most. Less so with grammar but there's still a lot of motivation. Regarding pronunciation.. the bare minimum is ok for me. I mean, who wouldn't want great pronunciation but it requires a lot of work. I know you say she did this in 3 months but she's relatively young, talented, working on it full time, and motivated to be an actress in China. Speaking of which, how did she get the idea of becoming an actress in China if she didn't even speak Chinese??

[@lillekorn]

"Naran’s path to securing the role was no easy feat. Surpassing 15,000 contestants, she emerged as one of the final 20 chosen for an exclusive six-month training camp. Diligently, she mastered old Chinese, dance, the guqin and combat techniques with a rigorous regimen." So basically looks like the bootcamp was where the final decision to cast her was made, and all the work she did paid off.

[@shinyeee1709]

FYI she was also picking up small modeling and acting gigs in music videos around China & other Mandarin speaking countries. When she was casted for the movie, she had no choice but to learn Mandarin fluently. All the young, newbie casts were required to train for 6 months in a boot camp. So she had an incubation period to learn Mandarin while others were learning horse riding, archery, etc. Generally Chinese movies are not often dubbed compared to dramas. Her looks played a major part in getting the role because the director wanted the fox demon character to be different from previous versions. Feng Shen Bang has been adapted into film and dramas many times before with a Su Daji being portrayed similarly has the individual who caused the Shang’s Kingdom’s downfall. Her version of Su Daji changed the character from what people were familiar with.

lol don’t listen to him. It’s not that you’re stupid or low IQ! If you want to study give him a try, even if you don’t learn to read right away! :) The writing is hard but speaking is no worse than any Eastern European language and “tones” are just silent final consonants that influence vowel pronunciation. French has those too, and Norwegian has actual tone. I’m mixed Norwegian / Czech / German and Mandarin pronunciation, at least, doesn’t really include anything that’s not already there in one of my (very European!) heritage languages. Mandarin is influenced heavily by languages to the north of it in Russia which sound more conventionally “European” so it’s an easy starting point. And the grammar is very easy compared to any other commonly studied language. So if you want to learn, happy studying! :)

[@sophiaschier-hanson4163]

Passive exposure does more than you think. For one thing, spoken exposure gives you a head start on listening practice and pronunciation because you know what the language generally sounds like. Written exposure (package labels, business signs, etc) gives you a large passive written vocabulary- either characters you see a lot and associate with particular things or alphabetic spellings you can mentally match to the strange sounds you hear from passive spoken exposure. You’ll even learn some grammar. Lots of bilingual packaging and signage in my region literally made it so like a week of ear and accent training was all I needed to start doing extensive parts of my daily routine in my target language (which tbf is “easier” for English speakers than Chinese, but multiply any time estimate for “easy” languages by 4 to get a good estimate of how long the same thing will take in Chinese.)

[@stoomkracht]

Why always that need to exaggerate? You met her in 2018 for the purpose of Chinese language learning Inl guess. What else would it be..we already see her sitting in class and somehow make it 8 months. Yeah 8 months intensive language training for the 2023 movie. Doesn't make it less impressive. "Getting" a language needs time, consistency and concentration. "archaic Chinese speech and other skills) mainly because of the language barrier. I had to learn the same content as everyone else and at the same pace, but I was a little slower at understanding everything and at that time, I just kept hoping to get better at it so that I could improve faster.“ A little slower means she already understood Chinese at a decent level. If not there is simply nothing to follow.

[@woshinigege]

There are loads of old-school teachers, who refuse talking with natives and adore their textbooks. They think that talking is useless and unserious, they like only grammar and writing. This type of teachers exist, yeah, they're really severe and conservative, they ignore evrth modern and connected with the internet. I suppose, Naran met one of these old-school teachers, cause she thought this strict person was a professional. In Russia you should try (hardly) to find a progressive teacher among all these "professionals". P.s. These teachers don't now words like "racism" or "elitism", they think that's stupid and that's the new teenagers' naughtiness. They always say "in my times there was nothing frivolous like this, kids now have imagined loads of bizarre things". P.s.2 Most of these old-school teachers are former communists, so they adore all the nations, like "our brothers and sisters", "our comrades of all nations" and etc. In Russia there are over 190 nations and usually it's hard to understand someone's race or nation, cause you can't remember all of the 190+. So... it's hard to be racist in Russia, you never know who the person is and where he's from.

Сначала научись правильно писать "Бурятия"

[@woshinigege]

Gosh, Kalmykia is very far from China. Did you open the map only once in your life? Also, Mongolia has been attacking both Russia and China in 12 century. So one moment Chingeez-han, the king of Mongolia, became Chinese emperor and then put Inner Mongolia together with China. That's why Inner Mongolia now belongs to China. Chingeez han-was a very big tyrant, so that was his "pay" to China. China never took Yakutia, Russia took it once and afterwards noone was interested in the land full of ice. So Yakutia, Buryatia, the whole Siberia took part only in Russia. The maximum that China was interested in, was Manjuria and Inner Mongolia, which were given them by Chingeez-han. So they were rather busy with Japan people and Hunnu(Great Chinese Wall), they already had enough territory to take care of. They may look alike with Siberian people, but in China there are 58 nationalities and onli Manjurs and Mongolians look alike with Buryatians, Yakutians and other 70+ northern nationalities in a cause of their Mongoloid race. They're not one country. Also Siberians may look alike with native americans, cause many centuries ago one of them has crossed the frozen ocean and moved to the other continent. As you can see, they have the same eyes and cheekbones, i mean, native americans with clean blood, not the european mixes. Does this fact meen, that Alyaska and North America belong to Russia, cause they have the natives which look alike?)) That's with your logic. Btw, Alyaska was also took by Russia and Russia sold it to America then. Interesting fact, yeah?
