Probably the best instructor (diction English AND Chinese; clarity; choice of examples; personality) on the net. Learnt more here in 1 hour than from all my former coaches, personal work, etc in last 2 years.

[@jasonbrown1210]

Amen to that! I like the other guy, but he comes up with the most odd sample sentences and he doesn’t sound natural. You speak clearly (without all the awkwardness). Your teaching style is effective and sample sentences are PRACTICAL. 多谢你

Knocked it out of the park with this video. So much super useful stuff. Will definitely be coming back to this over and over

[@pohlpiano]

Along with this one, if there was a top ten list of must watch KZbin videos for Chinese learners, Mandarin Blueprint could easily grab half of the spots.

Thank you for your kind words :)

Thank you to the MB Team for sharing their knowledge, sent a small thanks for all your hard work.

👋I started evening Chinese classes a few weeks ago. I am French and fluent in English. I'm learning 中文 from both french and english.💪 I realize that we also have a lot of different words to apply in certain contexts, but French people have become lazy 😅. It's good to dig in and bring it all out to understand the nuances of the Chinese language.

THE BEST INSTRUCTOR ❤

[@MandarinBlueprint]

Thank you 😊

[@Micah-l3g]

这非常有帮助。我是中文初学者，这些视频真的很有帮助

[@monayassin6199]

Your method is the best ❤❤ Thanks ... Actually I found it hard to understand the structure of chinese sentence... it is very hard to translate from English to Chinese with the correct order of words even I know them call. Would you please simplified it in a separate video?

[@MandarinBlueprint]

Hey Mona , Thank you . We did a similar video recently . You can check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZjPZ4aIirasY5I

How I differentiate 东西 and 事情 is that I think of what is tangible and what is intangible. 东西 - things I can touch physically. 事情 - things I can't touch physically.

Thanks!

" go with ... together" is also Bavarian - so I feel rigtht at home in Mandarin 😂

[@garyinspain]

Hi, regarding the difference between bu and mei you. in this sentence according to my book mei you refers to the present, if i understand you correctly, you say that mei you is used for the past, could you clarify. thanks very much for your videos. wǒ méi yǒu hěn duō shí jiān - i dont have very much time

[@MandarinBlueprint]

I meant in terms of negation only, not the meaning of "have". Sorry that wasn't clear!

[@shabby0203]

“必须”和“必需”这两个词其实中国人也很容易弄混（以前小学考试会有这种选词填空题），我觉得最重要的是理解“需”是“需要”的意思（need），必需（must need），必须（must），然后“必需”这个词用得很少，只在一些书面短语里出现，比如“生活必需品”😊

[@shabby0203]

看了你的视频感觉启发很大，从外国人的视角看我们日常使用的语言，也能更好地理解我们平时学英语遇到的一些困难。在我看来区别很明显的词语，其实真要讲有什么区别，也说不出，这些都是在日常语境中感受出来的，这也是学习一门外语最困难的地方所在

[@shabby0203]

大部分词其实都是口语和书面的区别，有些词只会在书面语或者很正式的场合才会用的

你好Luke老师， 谢谢你的非常好视频。 我看不到这个418 Conversation Connectors 的视频。可以发给我吗？ 谢谢你

[@INkosi_Sandile]

Hi Luke, you guys at MB are right the traditional system/way of learning Mandarin is broken BUT you're fixing it. I wrote and passed my HSK 3 a long time ago and I want to try pass my HSK 4..... it'll be my second try 😅 this video was really helpful. Thanks for the help all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦. I wrote my HSK exams at the 德班理工大学孔子学院 。

Glad we could help :) And that you for your kind words!

关于（愉快） 这个字怎么用呢？

[@MandarinBlueprint]

"愉快" 和 “快乐" 意思和用法都非常类似。

[@joewdowski7806]

wish you used traditional characters

[@MandarinBlueprint]

We don't but you can use our method to learn Traditional characters

[@joewdowski7806]

@@MandarinBlueprint Traditional is hundreds of years of writings before 1949 and is used in other nations outside of communist China and Singapore. It is also easier to read. It is the difference between a sign with a line with a line through it compared to a picture of a cigarette with a line though it meaning no smoking. The other problem is that simplified was used by the Party, so they can rewrite the past to control the future.

[@pilou5783]

@@joewdowski7806 Language is thought, agreed. But simplifying the Chinese characters not PRIMARILY an ideological but a social project, e.g. combatting illiteracy.

[@joewdowski7806]

@@pilou5783 Taiwan it very literate with traditional Chinese. It can be learned easily. It is like understanding a no smoking sign with a picture of a cigarette crossed out as opposed to a single line crossed out. The later is easier to write, the former is easy to understand and read.
