Thank you for always breaking down each character's literal meaning in sentences and info about the words and why certain characters were chosen to make it up. It's so fascinating.
Abaratarat 很好
I like this video because simplified and traditional version of Chinese characters are both shown. I hope that all of your videos can be shown like this as I am teaching simplified Chinese to my students. I love your program!
The first thing I would say to her would be 请你慢慢说。
Your Chinese accent is amazing for an English speaker!
Great comment about the half speed function of youtube. Didn't know that. This helps to rewind the lessons again and hear them in half speed! Thank you Ben! The lessons are awesome and I like the practical character of each lesson.
This is very helpful to me. Thanks
Great lesson! Clear & easy to follow.
Great, pragmatic lesson. Well done.
This is most necessary video! Thanks for you work!
Great lesson, thanks.
Part 2 Part 2 Please ! 谢谢
Very great lesson! And detailed explanation i really like your channel you are a such smart guy as you can speak chinese!
good lesson!
Thank you very much for your lesson. I'd like to give you a hundred likes!
Excellent video mate! :)
Well explained dude
A Taiwanese friend of mine translates "jiu" as "therefore", or maybe "and then". These lessons are getting better and better. I feel that I learned even more from this lesson than previous ones.
TheDrakon "and then" is a good translation for this particular meaning of jiu
***** Good to know. She also struggles with how to translate it. Sometimes she just calls it "connecting word".
谢谢
I like to think of 就 as meaning "then" or "at that point in time." So in my head “就在马路右边” translates as "it is then on the right side of the road."
I learned all of this just last week lol. I never knew about the phrase 十字路口. I just learned 路口
现在我明白了。 谢谢
You should also mention 拐. It has the same meaning as 转.
do you have romanized of this?? i really need the copy of this for my assignment huhu
你声音好听
第二个部分在哪里呢？第二部视频呢？
Had forgotten he was looking for a subway station, so when I saw that the other listed location was a restaurant, I thought he just REALLY wanted a sandwich XD
Sifu hao soai. Wo hen xihuan❤
2:40 - If I were standing and listening intently to the directions, and they started with "zai (fourth tone) 再" - I would totally assume in my brain that it was "zai (fourth tone) 在" and that they were saying "here/there/at that place" instead of "again" and I would probably be totally thrown off from the rest of the directions... hmmm....
lmao
@@kiwi9660 Good luck with your studies, friend :)
Zhōu yǔ Qiáo how are you doing with it
我在台中。台北，怎麼走？
😁
Great lesson.
到了十字路口
Should the 了 in this sentence be followed by 就 in the next sentence.
It's been a year since my classroom learning days and I remember learning some structure for future tense which went:
我吃了饭就出去。
I'll go out after I've eaten.
Is that the same structure as if you wanted to say:
Once you have arrived at the intersection, turn left and walk 10 metres
thanks again for video
brod2man yes, 到了十字路口，往左轉，走十米

What about 街 instead of 路?
Directions in Chinese are so complicated to me.
I miss Peggy! Is she on any other channels?
i don't. she was rude and awkward
I agree. I didn't care for her style of teach either.
Haha . I've just discovered the playback speed. He sounds very very drunk
Typed into Google Translate: Go forward. Left at corner. Walk one minute. On right. Gave me: Wǎng qián zǒu. Liú zài jiǎoluò. Bùxíng yī fēnzhōng. Zài yòu.往前走。留在角落。步行一分鐘。在右。
it's toooo fast
