Very good tip, especially the last point. Living in any country is not an easy task, especially in the beginning. Hope you don't stop learning Chinese, when your Chinese gets better and better, you will be able to have more in-depth conversations with Chinese people. The more you know about the country, the more opportunities you will have in China.
I was surprised you did not include Baidu Translate, which is my second bible, with so many functions, including able to translate Chinese writing content in pictures and photos. Check it out.
@@AaroninChina although WeChat translates, it only translates whatever is on the app. Its translation at times is not always accurate, thus i use Baidu Translate to verify, and for instance is see signs or other writing i cannot read, i simply take a photo using the Baidu camera option. There are many other functions also there, including speech translation. I definitely recommend you download it, and you will likely thank me for it, lol. One other thing while i think of it, you mention that the words zhe ge are very frequently used to mean "this", but in conversation you will also hear the words "na ge" used, meaning that. So we have this and that, being zhe ge and na ge.
I like very much your channel- Thank you. I have a question: Married with chinese citizen , when want to settle down in China, how high is the monthly rate of Health insurances?. Thank you , nice regards
I am not too sure about this. I'm not married but I assume that you would pay into your health insurance card every month depending on the level of your salary. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
@@AaroninChina i am married to a chinese woman, but as i understand it, being a foreigner, i cannot get chinese health insurance. Under spousal visa arrangement, you also cannot work for an employer in China. You can only work on a work visa. So health insurance must be applied for outside China, on a spousal visa.
@@AaroninChina Could you please elaborate on that? Does it involve writing or social media content management? Perhaps negotiations with overseas clients? Do you have any marketing education?
@@AaroninChina Yeah... I suppose I could always opt for a stay in one of those quarantine hotels you mentioned... that doesn't sound too bad . And I suppose there are probably some cheaper "quarantine packages" you can buy if you do it like that? I reckon I'd head for a tier 3 or 4 city, just to work on my Chinese for a few months to begin with, like you suggested. That would be in my price range anyway. I reckon I could probably be a pretty fair English teacher, as long as I get used to using some basic Chinese first. As for heavy administrative work... I live in France so I'm used to that. Especially since the amount of paper work you need to live and work in the country has practically doubled again here for me since the UK left the EU...
@@littlestone1541 I've had a couple of friends and co-workers go back to the USA and then return to China. Quarantine seemed to be okay for them mostly. About 100-150 RMB per day (food included). The main obstacle was finding flights and making sure that they knew, and followed the covid regulations from China. If you head to a 3rd-4th tier city and work as a teacher then I think you will improve your Chinese very quickly! You may feel lonely at some times but your language will definitely improve faster than living in a city.

Glad it was helpful!

I've never actually used Baidu translate because wechat can also translate from a picture. But I will will definitely check it out!

Thank you all for your help and responses. Nice regards
@Dancers Collection i hope you are right, as I have already started the process, after more then 6 years of marriage.
Seems besides the first WeChat, you didn't edit in the logos, which help us easy to seek for.
In what kind of job/field are you working in Shenzhen?
Marketing (Technology company)
@@AaroninChina Could you please elaborate on that? Does it involve writing or social media content management? Perhaps negotiations with overseas clients? Do you have any marketing education?
looks like i'll probably be waiting for the end of the lockdowns before getting my plane ticket...
You might be waiting a while 🤣🤣
