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 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 :)

This is interesting to me because I had a similar experience. I took three years of Spanish and did okay but just didn't really enjoy it and I was not passionate at all about it. Then recently I decided to learn Chinese on my own and the experience is a 180 degree difference. Even though it's "harder" in some ways, the process is enjoyable and I look forward to learning every day. This makes sense to me now because a while back I watched a video on language acquisition and this guy in the video said he felt the number one key to learning anything-- but especially languages-- was being passionate about the language you are learning.

繁体字很美。我的书法朋友写字都是繁体字而且偏好小篆。只是长期看简体字习惯了。读大段的繁体字有点累。

[@oldiessongbook9034]

雪蓮，很多謝你分享學中文的經驗，無論普通話還是英語，你說得非常清楚，雖然有些中文字的音調不對，但完全不用看字幕也聽得明白，你的成功經驗很值得學外語的人參考。最初，我以爲你父母一方是中國人，原來竟然不是。看你用簡體字，原來你是到過台灣學習。我想你用簡體字，是因爲讓更多中國大陸人能看到吧。其實中國國內的朋友，雖然他們是用簡體字，一般都能看得懂繁體字，我在淘寶購物，也是用繁體字跟他們溝通的。繁體字承載著中國源遠流長的文化，在我看來，每個中文字，都是一個很優美的圖案。

[@Headphones.on.Seals.]

中文是母語的人，只要受過合適教育，都可以使用简体字和正體字進行無障礙交流。

[@karltorento3358]

Would you say you still understand her perfectly well though? Just curious.

[@Blessmywill]

Her accent is pretty strong, some imperfections in terms of tones, but it is still ok. I wish to see her without clipping video. Plus Chinese level is average. In China, there is no 总统 but a 主席.

[@rodgerspenda3207]

KAI O As me. 我不知道上面的人到底有什么问题。心理的问题，偏偏怎么问那道题啊。不过视频好像不真的。口音的重要性不是说快而是说准。视频太快了好像被人编辑到最快的地步。无论如何，她还是不错。不过还是说'its not how fast you speak that determines but its how flexible your tones are to fit in the languages tones and how wide you knowledge is to fit in any conversation.

It's true. I started learning Chinese and realized it's so fun to learn the characters. Like it has a basic/general meaning behind every character and the more you learn, the more you see how it's all connected and gets even easier. It's like learning a jigsaw puzzle or secret code system. I'm so addicted

[@gloriamartinez5540]

I think it’s this way because in China students are taught English at a young age in school, but in the U.S. Chinese is rarely taught in schools it’s usually offered during high school (and my high school doesn’t even offer Chinese only Spanish and French). And English has a Latin alphabet, meanwhile, Chinese doesn’t.

[@eChineseLearning-school]

This is fantastic, you sound great! Our Chinese language students would look up to you. Keep it up.

Even though I started way younger than her (15) and have been studying for a few months, I'm really worried whether I'll be able to speak fluently in the future. I hope I can find a teacher in my city or maybe even be able to go to Mainland China or Taiwan to really flesh out my speaking and listening. This was honestly motivating, thank you!

You literally remind me of my Japanese teacher during my Bachelor degree’s third year. He’s from Japan, and taught us in Japanese 100% during that whole academic year, (we communicate with him in Japanese and body language) .But when it comes to the final lesson, he really surprised us, for that 90mins , he speaks just in Chinese, sharing his thoughts and giving advises on friendship, life, relationship, family and career. None of a single word during his talk made me or my classmates feel he is not a local native speaker, his Mandarin is even better than mine. I really believe there are some human do have gifts in language learning like you two. Bravo!

[@user-sv2be8qj9p]

thats really impressive and i think its the best motivation he could show to his students...

I watched this video when I first wanted to learn Chinese (didn't understand a single word then, but the one thing I got out of this video was to learn as many characters as possible). 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. My goal is to learn 1200 of the HSK words by the end of September. Having a goal/deadline has really helped me. I hope to be able to speak like you one day. 谢谢你

令我十分驚訝并且感到十分興奮得很的是，您的態度和方法正是我一向以來都持有的，此種方法都幫助了在我學習和獲取我的第三，第四，第五和最近追求得到我的第八種語言。。。我個人認爲學習任何語言最要緊的便是態度，其次，便是必須讓自己完完全全地沉浸在正在學習或試圖獲得目標語言之中。 例如：聽聽存有自己學習的目標語言的那些音樂或歌曲，看目標語言電影，閲讀漫畫，還有尋找機會與目標語言的母語者交談來自我練習。。。謝謝您的分享。除了讚，還是讚！！！Exactly the example you gave as the point of reference, I encountered that when I decided to learn Swahili during my peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo as there was no other languages in my personal repertoire that I could draw from to refer to any words of Swahili... So, it's purely by memorization of words... It's extremely hard work, but it awesomely fun, I just LOVE it !!! :-)

[@janelle705]

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!

[@Deandzzzzzz]

Yeah I totally get it. It’s like discovering your hidden self that you didn’t realize before. The way you behave, you perceive things also tend to diversify. That is just so exciting and driving you to keep learning it.:)
