Hi, welcome to ShuoshuoChinese 说说中文，my name is Shuo, I’m a native Chinese teacher living in Bangkok, Thailand, I’ve been teaching Chinese as a foreign language for seven years and I’m also a language learner.
In this channel, I will upload a video every week talking about Chinese vocabulary, Chinese grammar, Chinese culture, Chinese stories with pinyin and English translation for listening practice.
In my channel, you can easily understand complicated Chinese grammar, sentence structure, and difference/nuance between similar Chinese words.
If you are a Chinese beginner, I’m planning to upload videos about what is Chinese language, how does it different from English, Chinese pronunciations, Chinese characters and Chinese strokes sequence, and mini Chinese course (10 minutes per day) for beginners which can help you learn easily and quickly. Don’t miss it!
So, subscribe my channel and start your Chinese learning journey!

That's the best explaintion of 着 I've ever heard.

[@alonkagan9915]

Agreed, even better than the hsk book

[@lailanashim274]

Yes! I thought that I knew the difference between 在 and 着, now I'm sure I don't know it! 😆

[@gracajose8474]

I didn't know how to use 着 I just avoided it lol. Thank you

[@dylanference4451]

I really like the "screenshot" example explaining the difference between 在 and 着. I've been studying Chinese for 6 months and I suspect this just saved me a huge headache further down the road.

[@Gav_bot]

Outstanding job explaining such a complex character! I’m truly amazed at how well you taught all this material, while still managing to keep it concise! Keep up the great work, you and your videos are very appreciated

[@SrChatty]

I couldn't agree more! Explaining 着 in a way that everyone is able to understand, while at the same time being concise, really is proof of great workmanship! Very well done, indeed!

[@pavel.pantoja]

That metaphor about continuous video and a screenshot is outstanding, brilliant

[@joanloveslanguages5914]

Thanks so much! I feel so confident now and am excited to use 着 more!

[@chungchhen]

Teacher Shuo, you did a great and thorough job of explaining zhe. 感谢您!

[@yurymunoz6870]

Excellente, just an excellent explanation about "zhe". Thank you so much!

[@user-lk2ti5me7c]

Best explanation ever. Now I finally know how to use it properly!

[@misterRDF]

Stumbled onto your videos today... just subbed. Your explanations are great. I hope your channel grows to the levels it very much deserves.

[@midinette]

Wah, again your videos are so precise and informative! The metaphor of the continuous video is perfect! Thank you for your great job,

[@safaryanna9872]

KZbin recommended your videos yesterday and I've been binge-watching your videos. Your teaching is really good and you're funny too. I enjoy your acting a lot 😂

[@jgtbym601]

OMG! Did you read my request?!? (Or maybe a hundred others asked the same. LoL） No matter, I’m so grateful! And as always, this lesson was so helpful. 谢谢！Your loyal student from Japan.

[@ariamaze9081]

Oh! Im so lucky to found this channel, Im going to take the HSK exam and the content is exactly whay I need to review.

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

:)

[@mumamumamu9550]

The crying 对不起 part killed me hahahaha you're an amazing teacher, very clear and funny explanations

[@knuckleskaboom]

You make wonderful content, keep it coming... Such a great laoshi

[@banbangu]

[@samanthawu1637]

Really helpful! Thank you so much for your efforts 💜

[@SwizzzBL]

Great video, very helpful! 谢谢!

[@AldO-HPB]

I've been confused how to use 着. This is so timely. Brilliant. 感谢你!

[@Queenaisofpop]

I learn more through your videos than with my teachers in university. Probably because my teachers use french to teach/my textbooks are also in french. English is my second language so watching videos in english I have to focus more than with my native language. Your explanations are also very clear and straightforward. Thank you.

[@coolnanel]

wow. You are a very good teacher. Thank you. And just like you said at the beggining, I thought I knew how to use 着 :D

[@mariabarrufet]

This was super well explained, thanks a lot!!!

[@analimatraducoes]

This video really teached a lot! Thank you!!!

[@mathuang95]

I like the grammar explanation about putting the main verb in the back, solid.

[@mben9109]

你的视频对我真的有帮助😍

[@marwana.4122]

the best explanation of 着 I've ever heard, makes everything a lot simpler now, thank you.

[@carlosm4212]

Finally, the best explanation. This girl is fantastic.

[@a.g.4843]

Your videos are so interesting. Please make more videos explaining complicated grammar stuff. We all love complicated topics of Chinese language

[@SrChatty]

这也是一个很好的视频！您语法解释得真的厉害！说说老师， 您毫无疑问是在KZbin上最能干的中文老师！很谢谢您！辛苦啦！

[@lutchbizin6420]

Thank you, Shuo Shi! A great lesson. You have explained zhe quite well. I believe you could have given more examples comparing zhe with zai, though.

[@zuzanagelova6563]

You're amazing. I love your videos.

[@dcrock8978]

Your explanations are excellent, thank you!

[@marionplaza4240]

你真的帮我！ 你是非常的老师。谢谢你！

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

嘿嘿，不用谢

[@SERIRITH]

谢谢你

[@unicyclechinese3125]

感谢！I didn't know there were so many ways to use 着！

[@nightsfire]

You said, “I know what you are thinking,” about the difference between 着 and 在... and I was!! Very nice video

[@tyaristighfarsyah3197]

你是我最喜欢的老师 such a very clear and perfect explanation

[@Mathdmd]

I was studying it and got pretty confused, because it seemed too sutil and detailed. And then I found this perfect explanation. What a great job! Thank you for this and congratulations!

[@sonjam-blue]

Thanks! You are great. Really good explanation. Using 着 zhe was one of the first things I learned in Mandarin - I started learning with the lyrics of the song “Gāng hǎo yù jiàn nǐ”. And there it is at the very beginning: "Wǒ men kū le, wǒ men xiào zhe ...."

[@remitto8367]

If you stay consistent with uploads your channel will become huge. This was a fantastic explanation. Keep it up :D

[@akgnag4601]

amazing explanation! a couple of days ago I watched a few other videos, explaining the same thing, but damn, this one is 100 times better that all of them combined ;d and also really fun to watch, as always =]

[@aruzhanermakhan1112]

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

😊

[@leongallego6564]

Thank you so much for such a good lesson. Could you please, for your next videos, put an English translation in all the example sentences since there were a couple that didn't have them.

[@khaledqutub5849]

This is a great lesson Thank you for this video lesson

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

☺️

[@alexlobato3416]

Very good video and explanation, thanks 😘👍

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

☺️

[@clarissa_gutierrez]

Thank you for the clear explanation. Also wanted to let you know you are gorgeous! ✨

[@erikadeavila4464]

Thank you so much, your explication is really good.

[@smsimonson]

我真的爱你. So helpful to know when seeming synonyms are not really interchangeable. Once again there's a distinction made between talking about a POINT in time vs talking about a PERIOD of time...I'm beginning to catch on that this is a fundamental feature of the language.

[@djbslectures]

Thanks!

[@jaia508]

你真厉害。太棒了

[@fourclaws]

你是我最喜欢的老师

[@happymode312]

That’s exactly what I was waiting for. Thank you

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

Glad I helped!

[@Prince_0207]

谢谢您

[@elsashao9849]

Thank you for your videos ! Would it be possible to make a video about how to use and place the character 都？

[@individualism20]

真棒的内容 👌

[@dukewabusia2186]

Well explained

[@arminebner2846]

Very helpful

[@bewaryoftherabbithole8011]

感谢了你的帮助呀！

[@zwouip]

this video was super helpful. Until now every time I used 着 in a sentence, my teacher would say it was wrong. Now I feel like I may finally be able to use it correctly

[@aaaaa1593]

thanks so much 💗

[@channreaksmey7432]

I rarely comment in video. But this video really really helpful. 非常感谢您

[@mbbr6]

very very very useful you are amazing >>thanks

[@CrescentDC]

[@yinxue7311]

คิดถึงภาษาไทยของครูส้มจังเลยค่ะ อย่าพึ่งลืมภาษาไทยน้า เลิฟยูว!!!!♥️

[@ShuoshuoChinese]

โอเคค่าาาาา555

[@thaihm]

Haha I know it now, thank you teacher! 👍🏽🙏🏼❤️

[@manarmostafa9435]

You are amazing ❤❤

[@AdeleiTeillana]

Question - in English we can say "drinking coffee while chatting" or "chatting while drinking coffee". The second activity is the main activity, the first is something you did during the main activity. Are you able to switch it around like that in Chinese? If not, how do you know which activity to put with zhe?

[@xsoireg]

Very good

[@PyroNexus22]

I like your video. Subscribed

[@kungpaochinese-supereasy3006]
