Extraordinario! Felicitaciones! Fantastic! You are an excellent teacher. Please keep making this kind of videos. I always thought about how to put together all the HSK words to make phrases with sense in chinese that sounds natural. This is the first time after a lot that I can find something exactly as I need. As selflearner of a third language this methodology save me a lot of time.!
Perhaps the best Chinese learning channel on TH-cam. One day I was thinking about the kind of listening/reading resource I wish I had, so I started searching, and bingo! Found this channel. Needs perfectly met. Excited to see more content next year!
mandarin is my fifth language now. i feel like chinese is always labelled as the most difficult language -- but in reality, it's fairly easy once you get the hang of it! i love these videos - they are great for beginners!! and i love how you act the verbs out in the video as well !!
Another great video! Every time you pronounce the name of our hero 李想, you make a hand gesture. Why is that? Must be an aspect of the Chinese culture I am not familiar with, but it really interests me:)
Oh, that's just a gesture our presenter made in the first videos to make it easier to identify when a character name was used (like sometimes an underline is used in written texts), but we soon realized it was a bit redundant and annoying, so we decided it was not really necessary. It's not anything cultural, but just something we came up with, so it cannot extrapolate to other situations.
@@MandarinClick I also recommend to consider not using such hand gestures as it can be interpreted as a negative connotation, especially in other countries about intepretation of "dream" with the culture of such "dream" in China. Considering his name, his age and his dream can be also rebutted by people with their views and the obvious labels given. Realistically the scenario used in this example could be interpreted derogatory to this character name called Li Xiang who apparently is a low paid English Teacher with no car, no financial stability and wanting a house in Shanghai out of all the cities/provinces in China. As you know, language and community/society expectations goes goes hand in hand. Whether you consider it as culture or not, people will say otherwise.
Great video! I do have a small suggestion(personal opinion more than anything). I think it would be better if pinyin would be optional (same as eng/esp subs) and only Chinese characters available by default. I'm trying to avoid reading pinyin and just follow characters but I can't stop my eyes from taking a sneak peak all the time.
Brave I'm.lesrning on Duolingo plus and I prefer Pinyin to traditional I don't think I will ever learn by reading traditional but if it works for you great, how are you learning if you don't mind me asking
@@noirnight2608 I have set a daily minimum for myself - 5 new words + 60min revision of previously learnt words. Afterwards, if I feel like it, I do some reading/writing/listening practice. I've already learnt all of the hsk dictionary up to level 4 + random words I picked up along away. However, I can't recall them quickly enough to be useful for listening/speaking yet. I think characters only by default is how it's commonly done on Chinese TV. The sooner I remove pinyin crutch for myself, the better xD Best of luck in your Chinese studies!

After listening to this audio of video, I feel that it seems not to be a HSK4/5 listening test, because it is not as hard as I expected.
我觉得买房子在上海是不可能的事情哈哈
可是我祝李湘好幸福的生活

Good story for educational purposes, but a bit depressing.
I think there should be a list of new words with English translation at the end of the story .
Thanks a lot for your feedback! We take all your comments into account to improve the future content.
你的故事让我伤心了。因为李想代表我的实际生活情况差不多一样。但是， 我比李想更糟糕。我今年在三十六岁。😂😂😂
谢谢你的视频。你的视频做得很好。我会继续认真努力学中文。
I have a question, how do you know when reading Chinese characters that they represent a person's name, such as 李想? In English we capitalize the first letters of names, but that can't be done with Chinese characters, can it?
No, I've seen in some cases, in text books, where there will be parentheses around the name. But it is not common to see it.
do you pdf of this video??
Thanks a lot for your feedback, at the moment it is not available, but we will think about including more material for the videos in the future.
那对我来说，从来似乎有一样的问题，尤其是给做很重要的，大一些选择.... 可能这是因为我长大了有一点自卑！这个事情有一些比较明显的原因的, ,要找到在家庭界中了.
可我认为最反常的是：
我现在是年纪比较大的，以前做一些很大的错误后，就终于明明知道我想什么！但是看来给我已经没办法选择！有的说《不行！》，《你不可以！》....
难道谁有权利这样说，及其也
以黄话卑你吗？
无论是这样的，我比如在做事汉语和几门不同外语从早到晚吧！《如果幸运的话》，我还可以有一个机会给新的生活开始啦！

Like how every time they mention LiXiang she puts up airquotes like it's not his real name lol
This story was helpful but also extremely depressing
You should give english meaning with chinese characters. Thx

对了，如果男孩儿找到工作了当英语教师吧在一座城市像上海的话，怎么会没有得到户口呢？还是问题是他还在打工?
我猜户口会由于专职和职位，要不然和当地人结婚，之类的... 对外国人来说，也是这样的. 对吧？
