For non-Chinese speakers, she’s not just fluent, its like the way she say things and the way she forms a sentence sounds very native and natural. I feel like its really one of the highest level u can get in language learning.

[@henry12h]

Anyone can do it! Just commit to do so

[@noname89636]

@@henry12h ... Yes, but it is a strong and one he*l of a commitment. You have to LOVE that language you are learning and find an inner and deep internal value to it. That is why many people quit after the A2 level. It is why I quit after learning Arabic and Polish (I lived in Middle East and Poland due to my job). I tried to continue on with Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and other languages, but my energy just isn't there because I know what I went through with Arabic and Polish. I have no clue why I just ranted under your comment. But yeah it is one strong a** commitment.

[@TheVivienne1990]

Speaking as a native Chinese speaker with a linguistic background, I must say I am very impressed with her Chinese capability. I see some comments making a remark on how she doesn’t sound native. Granted. if we are to compare her Chinese to native Chinese she still got some room to improve, but is native fluency really the lowest bar for recognition? just imagine for a second how we sound when we speak English as a non-native speaker, those English speakers instantly know we are not natives - there are mispronunciations, there are inappropriate choices of vocabularies and unnatural syntaxes. But you don’t hear people say someone’s English isn’t native enough. It’s ridiculous! I know too damn well how difficult it is to learn a language, and how much harder it is to master a language. This lady really surprises me with some of the “markers” she has mastered that are so quintessentially Chinese.

[@thryce82]

its because there are a lot of petty folk out there. she does/doesnt speak fluently does really matter . Im a native english speaker as soon as peole talk about art or someone with a welsh accent speak i understand nothing. i would assume she is solid in 90%+ of converstaions that go on. think its more of A i cant do that so she sucks or B white people shouldnt have passable mandarin. B>>A i assume. i lived abouts in asia for ~7 years. asians everywhere are not very excited when u learn anything about their language in my experience. they know passable-- some english so once u start learning their language they feel they lose an advantage and take it kinda offensively. at worst they lost an english practice partner at most they have to watch what they say around u in their own language. Thai and japanese forrr sureee but i assume chinese folk too.

I teach English in China. The Chinese way to teach English is vocab, vocab, and more vocab. The children know hundreds of words and can't say a thing. Learning a language is not about words. You can say many things with very few words or not be able to say anything with many words. IMO

I agree with her lol! I took spanish for two years and even to me its harder than learning chinese. I am learning chinese more faster and understanding it better. I also think it depends how motivated you are and if you have that connection to the language. I started learning spanish because I wanted to talk to people in my community who only spoke spanish. After only 2 years of Spanish in high school i can have a light conversation with them...which should be more but I lost interest after a while(at least my motivation got me to understand a good amount haha) Now with chinese, it has always been apart of my life. Growing up I would watch chinese movies and dramas so the vocabulary and phrases are more familiar. Also being a regular chinese drama fan helps me learn outside of studying time! It all just depends if its the right time and right mindset to learn a certain language :)

It’s been 3 years and a half since I started learning Chinese language, and I really find it cool even though it’s pretty hard and I have to practice very often to memorize the characters and the pronunciations. It’s definitely not easy 😂 I’m French and in my school, 95% of the students choose Spanish since it’s also a Latin language and it’s very similar to French. I didn’t want something too easy and I wanted to learn a completely different language with a different writing and grammar etc. , so this is why I decided to learn Chinese. And I do not regret it at all!

I spent the summer of 2019 in Xi’an with a scholarship language program. I had no previous knowledge of Chinese, and it was amazing how much I learned being immersed. Since returning to the US, I have had a hard time adjusting to studying on my own (work, school, etc). Your videos are very encouraging. I know that if I put my mind to it I can improve my mandarin greatly and one day return to my second home in China; your videos do a great job of helping me remember that! Thank you.

A year later (with many gaps in my learning journey) and maybe 300-500 words under my belt (words that I can actually write and not just recognize), I can now understand 10-20% of your video lol. I'll watch it again next year to see if I can pick up more. I spent the last 2 months really studying and I can see an improvement right away.

Even though it's "harder" in some ways, the process is enjoyable and I look forward to learning every day.

The amount of backhanded complements are insane. Accent isn't EVERYTHING!!! You know how many accents there are in the English language? There are probably over 15 different ways people pronounce and have accents changes to each word in the language depending on where they live, grew up, other languages they know, how they learnt it, etc. Just in America there are probably over 50 different dialects in terms of how people talk across the states, much less the different countries. Give her a damn break.

[@alias_peanut]

I spot a person of culture

[@heyitskatharine]

There are definitely dialects/accents that exist for Chinese, but she isn't using one of those. I don't think people would pick on an accent as you are describing. It's more so that for the Chinese language, tone is actually really important. Unlike in English when you can randomly choose to emphasize or not emphasize parts of a word, in Chinese if you emphasize a word in the wrong way, you end up with the wrong word, because there simply aren't that many sounds in Chinese - every syllable in Chinese is a whole word. Saying "hi" versus "HI" in English makes zero difference to the actual word; saying ma (1st tone) or ma (3rd tone) or ma (4th tone) make completely different and wrong words. Chinese is very context based and if you use the wrong 'accent,' your sentence will no longer make sense. A great example is the famous "Shī-shì shí shī shǐ" poem. And yes, it matters what accent you use to say all those different "shi"s, or none of it makes sense. She has great flow and good vocabulary, nobody can take that away from her, but for this language you can't compare it to English - tone is 95% of saying it correctly, not the 1% it would be for English. People aren't trying to be mean when they point out her tone could be improved upon, they're being helpful. Anybody who doesn't understand this does not know enough about the Chinese language. Trying to compare it to English is a misunderstanding of the culture. Chinese is pictographic and tonal. English uses an alphabet.

[@ayszhang]

Well, she didn't even pronounce "shi" (ten) correctly and instead she said "shi" (to be). So instead of saying "I started learning Chinese when I was eighteen" she said "It was at 8 years old that I started learning Chinese"

[@JayA-rx3hi]

All these "Chinese" speakers saying her tone is off blah blah “she doesn't sound like a NATIVE”, when is learning a language about "sounding perfectly like a native"? What's important if you can communicate well. And most if not all of you could understand her. I know many Chinese people who speak broken and not so native English but if you call them out it's "racism". To eradicate one's true origins by removing their accent is just as fake as denying your true origins. Everyone has their unique accent. Even Chinese people on TV or in fast conversation don't get the tone exactly perfectly because that would sound weird and not so native-like. Also to say someone isn't a native speaker is being ignorant as there isn't just 1 Chinese dialect: Mandarin (65.7%) Min (6.2%) Wu (6.1%) Yue (5.6%) Jin (5.2%) Gan (3.9%) Hakka (3.5%) Xiang (3.0%) Huizhou (0.3%) Pinghua, others (0.6%) And to me all of them are native speakers, whether "Standard" or not :p

[@PhoenixfromChina]

I totally agree with you that Jilian is a perfectly fluent speaker and a successful communicator. She has excelled in learning this hard language on so many levels, e.g. her fluency, her diction, colloquialism, etc. Honestly, I might say she's more articulate than some native speakers. (And trust me - I am Chinese.) However, it is also true that she carries an accent which is common to western language learners. I'm actually surprised that she doesn't have any Taiwanese accent. I didn't read other comments, and I'm trying to sideline with anybody. But the truth is she doesn't sound like a native speaker. I have seen western speakers with much better pronunciation and more natural tones and intonations. HOWEVER, that doesn't disqualify her as a successful language learner or discredit her capability to communicate in Chinese. Sounding like a native is usually not the end goal of learning a language, but there's nothing wrong to point that out in case some people are more interested in achieving that goal.

[@PhoenixfromChina]

I'm really glad you did research on Chinese dialects. Unfortunately, a common misunderstanding towards Chinese dialects is to liken them with Western accents. The dialects listed beneath Mandarin do not remotely sound like Mandarin. And quite honestly, a Chinese person would not understand regional dialects either if not born there. Two Chinese regional dialects could be more different than two Roman languages, say Spanish and Portuguese. While these people APPEAR TO BE native speakers to you, I wouldn't label a Min dialect speaker who can't speak Mandarin as a "native speaker" of CHINESE. 母语是中文的人. I would just say this person speaks only this dialect, which is super rare and incredible! I've never met anyone like this in my life because the simplified Chinese language has been standardized, educated in every school and publicly used for more than half a century... well maybe except that she's a very old person living in a far village somewhere. A lot of people do speak Mandarin with accents influenced by their regional dialects. That's probably want you want to talk about, but Jilian's accent definitely doesn't sound like those. The bigger issue about dialects in China is that some are extinct, and many are dying. It's a cost of modernization and development... Chinese language is very interesting and has a long history of development. I hope you like this language. =)

[@naguoning]

@@PhoenixfromChina I totally agree to not liken with Western accents in English. More like comparing different Europeans speaking English. I have met people who could barely speak Mandarin who were not that old at the time (about 25 years ago) I needed to have people translate local dialect to Mandarin in parts of Zhejiang near a place called 樂清 (not so far from WenZhou) or here in Taiwan I know of some Aboriginal people who are about a bit under 60 who can't speak Mandarin. I also encountered one customer a few years ago who would now be maybe 40 and he couldn't speak Mandarin to save himself... like really, really bad. I remember it because unlike about 70% of people in Taiwan I am not a Hokkien (MinNan) background speaker and for me it was difficult to talk to him.

[@JayA-rx3hi]

Phoenix Wang the title of the video is “how I learnt FLUENT Chinese”, (you even described her as “a perfectly fluent speaker”) - the video title is NOT “How I mastered the Chinese native accent”. So yes it is helpful to point these out, but she didn’t make any such claims that she has a perfect native accent, so I wonder why people are making her prove herself. Especially, as you mentioned natives are not perfect themselves, so why are you asking for perfection from foreigners learning your language? It is totally strange.

[@naguoning]

@@JayA-rx3hi "the natives" are not always native speakers of Mandarin. In fact many are not. That is why I say it is like Europeans speaking English. Mandarin acts as a link language within China between speakers of a huge number of dialects. Eg if you have a Shanghainese, a Cantonese, a Hokkien and a Hakka speaker and WenZhou dialect speaker... they will speak Mandarin to each other but it is like a French, an Italian, a German, a Swede, a Polish etc using English together.

shouldn't Spanish be easier for English-speakers when the two languages are so similar?

@@vincentyang1128 Spanish grammer is more difficult and has past and present tense, also you have to change every word if your talking to a male or female. So confusing
