I wish I had a teacher with your spunk and charisma. You'd make the lessons fun and actually care about how your student(s) grasp the language. Good luck to you!
Who would have thought that 11 months later I would take that leap into learning chinese. Your videos are a blessing sent from heaven. I feel like everything is so much easier to understand
Hi Rita! Your approach is very professional, very dynamic, mature and with a lot of experience! You don't play. I was a little intimidated by your super intense and temperamental style, but you probably boosted yourself for a more impactful video. I am a native speaker of Hungarian ( with almost all necessary sounds for Chinese, only "î" and "ă" from Romanian) as my mother tongue and Romanian, a Neo-Latin language like Italian or Spanish as the official language of the country and I also speak English and French occasionally, from school and University and now in my 6th decade. Now I am very interested in the Far East culture and step by step I found myself studying the basics of Mandarin. I dug to trace our Hungarians' Asian origins, some roots that led to the Huns and to Turkic peoples of the Eurasian steppes, and so on. Beyond these historical, linguistic, genetic points, etc. we have a sense of belonging to Asia, even the rest of European people consider us so, somehow despising us for this, but this is just ignorance. This mutual sympathy between the Hungarians and the Asian peoples is quite well known. I had some contacts with some supplier companies in China and recently I tried to use some words, sentences in pinyin on my conversations with sales managers. Even at two Chinese shops I went in, after about 20 basic lessons, to exchange some common words with real Chinese. I can't afford to set a systematic study schedule, only occasionally steal a quarter or half an hour, two or three times a week. I have seen a lot of Chinese movies, from Zhang Yimou to commercial action films, interviews with actors even without subtitles. Something is happening... Please, what do you recommend for me to progress, or rather to learn, to the best of my abilities, more extensive and occasional learning? Thank you very much.

This is an awesome video - I have been casually learning Mandarin since 2020 but these last few months I've started taking it more seriously - I love your channel it helps so much - What made me feel a little relieved was that even though I haven't been intensely studying it till now - I did follow these tips when I started learning! Thank you!
"Haven't had a haircut in months". Haha! I was just thinking long hair suits you much better. 非常更漂亮. I hope you will let it grow again to be like this. 😊
This was a phenomenal explanation about the language. I'm a native Spanish speaker, and have always wondered how the Chinese dialects are structured to try and understand how it compares with Spanish and English. I love your accent and energy in each video, specially your hand gestures when explaining the tones. Your explanations remove much of the stigma about the complexity of the language by breaking down the fundamentals into digestible chunks. Thank you so much for the work you do!!!
the hand gestures are used by primary school teachers to help Chinese children to associate the movement of the hand with the tone. It's a bit like conducting where you learn to keep your rhythm of speech with the hand gestures. It makes remembering the words so much easier. "The hand remembers". (which applies to writing characters as well).
You are the best out there in TH-cam. You make enjoyable videos packed with useful content. I am spending hours watching even though I have already been learning Mandarin for almost a year. Every beginner must watch your channel and I wish I could have tutor like you.
Wow thank you so much for your warm comment! Made my day😄❤ Will definitely make more videos to help more Chinese learners with your Chinese learning journey! 🙌
WOW! I saw your later videos today (7/10/21) where you corrected and explained self-proclaimed "perfect Mandarin speakers" and was impressed. I decided to start with your first video and was impressed with your presentation on many levels.
Hi Rita.. I just came from Chris his live video today...and i'm determined to learn Chinese.. thanks for your lessons and video's.. gonna watch them all.
Hey Michael! Thank you for for looking😄🙌 Keep it up! You’ve got it💪 I’ll upload videos more regularly, so you def will learn Chinese better and faster😁
Awesome on the Spanisn learning, you might understand the struggle for us Spanish speakers when it comes to tones and some consonants we don't have (all the sh, zh, etc.)
I'm native in Spanish and Very fluent in English. It fascinates me that you want to learn Spanish. Also.. thanks for the videos as always. You're a great teacher
I started watching Chinese shows and film without subtitles to gain a sense of the cadence and flow of the Chinese language, without having to worry much about the story.
I know some Korean but want to learn some Chinese I have tried several times in the past but tones was my stone in the shoe so I have been trying for 5th time hoping an improvement this time.. saludos a ti y a tú familia.. bendiciones
I watched a movie in the Bejing dialect. Are there dialects in which the tones are being ignored? I watched in normal, 0.75 and in 0.5 speed, listened to words repeatedly and was often unable, to hear the tones. I watched it on Netflix with LLN, so I knew, which tone I had to listen to! My "foreign language listening skills" are good. I am in lecture 30 in a course with a lot of speaking and listening instruction. I understand, that there is necessarily a great difference between pronunciation in a teaching situation to a normal everyday situation. So I am only looking for the dialects, best suited to get a feeling for "normal every day" pronunciation. Incidentally, I find Mandarin much easier than other languages, in terms of pronunciation! As a native German and 2nd language English speaker, for other languages, I had to literally train muscles, to become able to produce the rolling "r", i.e. even when I made the right movements with my tongue, it wasn't strong enough. It took me a year! Addendum: Found your video about Fast Chinese and Northern dialects;-) I ask a follow up question there.
Wow it's great that you value listening and speaking so much, and be aware of the difference between in-class and real-life pronunciation as well as expressions! Keep it up💪👏
I wonder whether the fact that most Chinese words are very short and the tonal nature of the language are connected... What I mean is that when you have words that are so short there only so many letter combination you can achieve, so that is why you need tones to have words that have the same letter combination but means different things.. Or maybe it the contrary.. since Chinese evolved as a tonal language from the start it did not need to make use of long words because short words with tones were sufficient to carry a larga amount of meanings... do you have any idea if there is a theory about WHY Chinese is a tonal language?
Hello, I am self learning chinese (so I do it just for fun) and I don't take time to learn the characters because I think the chinese kids (native chinese) learned chinese without learning the characters right? Here is my question: where the native chinese people learn the chinese characters, and at which age?
mandarin is quite easy to pick up. you compared it to japanese a bit. the number system is extremely similar but very confusing when you speak a bit of japanese already: mandarin: 1: yi 2: er 3: san 4: si 5: wu 6: liu 7: qi 8: ba 9: jiu 10: shi japanese: 1: ichi 2: ni 3: san 4: shi 5: go 6: roku 7: shichi 8: hachi 9: kyu 10: jiu so... jiu is 10 in japanese and 9 in mandarin... yi (1 in mandarin) can sound quite clone to ni (2 in japanese). I swear this makes things super confusing at first
Haha yeah, quite a part of Japanese language was influenced by ancient Chinese language, especially since the Tang Dynasty. And in the 19th and 20th century, a lot of modern vocab like economics, science, democracy, etc., were loan from Japanese into modern Chinese. Languages change all the time😊

You would think lol…Spanish and English 97 “ninety seven (90*7). French “quatre-vingt-dix-sept” (4x20+10+7). Spanish and English 77 “Seventy seven (70+7), French “soixante-dix-sept” (60+10+7). It’s not Korean but I remember learning French and thinking what happened here? then you get use to it.

Hello, I am self learning chinese (so I do it just for fun) and I don't take time to learn the characters because I think the chinese kids (native chinese) learned chinese without learning the characters right? Here is my question: where the native chinese people learn the chinese characters, and at which age?
in Kindergarten children learn to read characters.
mandarin is quite easy to pick up. you compared it to japanese a bit. the number system is extremely similar but very confusing when you speak a bit of japanese already:
mandarin:
1: yi
2: er
3: san
4: si
5: wu
6: liu
7: qi
8: ba
9: jiu
10: shi
japanese:
1: ichi
2: ni
3: san
4: shi
5: go
6: roku
7: shichi
8: hachi
9: kyu
10: jiu
so... jiu is 10 in japanese and 9 in mandarin... yi (1 in mandarin) can sound quite clone to ni (2 in japanese).
I swear this makes things super confusing at first
Haha yeah, quite a part of Japanese language was influenced by ancient Chinese language, especially since the Tang Dynasty. And in the 19th and 20th century, a lot of modern vocab like economics, science, democracy, etc., were loan from Japanese into modern Chinese. Languages change all the time😊
Difficult -- tones; very difficult -- writing characters & finding people to chat with in northern Scandinavia
if not necessary hand writing for tests, writing in computer or smartphone is easy. It's important to read characters.
Babes, we need to do a video. I’m advanced learner
My wife, who is Russian, has difficulty differentiating between:
