Sir I really appreciate your teaching I pardon can you teach me learning Mandarin Chinese language . I'm from India and I'm really looking to learn International language from a long time but as u mentioned I have come across many wrong people learners pay huge price but they land down learning wrong process.

The way you analyze the structures and give more examples or correct the mistakes in a very professional way motivates me a lot. It is the first time I saw a Chinese teacher explaining the stress in the second s[yllable. That was my mistake and I thought I would not improve my pronunciation ever. Now I understand what the problem was. 非常感谢 :)

I feel very encouraged! I don't have to be great to start but I have to start to be great! Thank you so much Andy. Chinese is such a beautiful language, I wonder why it took me so long to start learning it, I am so glad I finally took the step to learn it.
i will never forget this video. my friends always say i sound a bit unnatural and now we know exactly why!!! you put my problems into words perfectly. thank you so much

This is great. I love watching analysis of English speakers speaking Chinese like videos of John Cena. Besides being inspirational, it helps me be more aware of the mistakes I make as a native English speaker. But I got stuck as I didn’t know what to be aware of just knew I was making the same mistakes. This video helps direct my efforts. Thank you! Can’t wait to see more.

不客气，Debbie! Good to know it's helpful for you. Just sent you the link to join the international group class. Don't know why the link works well on my phone but doesn't work in my sent mail. Please check the link and let me if it works for you. Have a good day!
Andy aces it: listened to this again and how well he pin points the difficulties and points out how to overcome them…all in such an upbeat Andy fashion:-)
Andy, just started to learn Mandarin, and your explanations are very clear. Also thank your government for not allowing Facebook into China, it interferes with free speak and politics.
Stresing the end of the word is really a nice trick. I'm also glad to hear that you do not need to speak perfectly to be somewhat understood. The language gives the impression that you need to speak it perfectly.
Although I have learned a lot from my previous course I think I should have followed Andy from the beginning. I learnt or didn't learn the finer points correctly. This has now necessitated me to "unlearn" bad points. Andy's teachings is great with everyday examples.
Great video! I also learned a lot from the emphasis on using the second syllable! I have applied it to my studies, and it can even help me better understand what I am talking about. Especially when what you want to say must be sincere.

I’ve just now found your channel. Your teaching skill is excellent. I will recommend your channel to other learners. I am an ABC (American-born Chinese). I moved to China for a number of years. Almost every time I said nihao to someone, they would ask, 你是哪儿的人？（Where are you from?) I didn’t know why they would ask that. Was it my tones? Hard to get the tones wrong for nǐhǎo. After about three years or so, I realized that it might be because Chinese natives don’t say nihao. They just say, ng! Do you think that’s true?
Thank you for your good feedback and you can find the anwer about the Chinese greetings in this video: th-cam.com/video/aWhDYAFQhAI/w-d-xo.html And I mentioned "ng" in the video :)
@@AskAndy I had already watched that video, which by the way is excellent. You said it’s OK to greet people by saying, nǐhǎo. So it seems the reason Chinese natives respond with, “你是哪儿的人？” might be because they already observed that I am not a native Chinese; so since I initiated a greeting, they took the opportunity to confirm that or to find out more. Anyway, I didn’t mind that the native Chinese knew right away I am a foreigner, because that made it easier to start conversations.

Part of sounding more like a native speaker is embracing the culture. I’m black and learning Chinese. I watch a lot of Chinese programming so I can understand the culture and hear the language. I love history and watch a lot of documentaries on Chinese history. I speak to my Chinese coworker so she can correct me. She was born and raised in China and I appreciate her help. I’m not sure outside of his wife and making money that Zuckerberg cares about Chinese culture.
@Sero Suit the people you speak of didn’t actually embrace the culture. If the language of the culture is tonal and you don’t learn tones then how can you communicate?

Wow this was incredibly helpful!!! I've been trying to learn for awhile. I've thought about how we learn languages....and I think something that would be helpful for many learners is to read out loud with a native speaker correcting the tones as they speak. And I always ask for people to correct me in speaking...but many times the person will be shy about that and let the mistake go.

As a language teacher the American, you are correct. The westerner worries too much about tone but it is not that important. They must speak with confidence, good rhythm, be clear, and not be afraid of mistakes. Practice is the best way, speak with the native. But first, consider being in China at the best areas for Mandarin standard. Where is it in China?

@@AskAndy Thanks for the feedback, Andy: this lesson on pronunciation tips especially on stress was very helpful. Paradoxically, it also explains why many Chinese don't sound like English speakers, stressing the last part of words. 'First' becomes 'firSTE.' for example... Yes, regarding your approach, you provide intuitive logic that works, which I enjoy rather than passive rote learning that is so boring in comparison. (I can point out some other features in your English that you might like to improve if you wish - basically just fine-tuning. That said, you already have a very agreeable and captivating speaking style. ) Best wishes to you and your wife.

Interesting about stressing the second syllable. No teacher every taught me that. Maybe they feel it is too advanced a concept for beginners, but it seems pretty important.
That may be the difference between language teachers and linguists. Language teachers teach you the content (pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar which are WHAT) and then you need to "practice makes perfect" while linguists study languages and let you know WHY and HOW so that you can learn better and faster.
No problem. th-cam.com/users/AskAndy There are lots of videos not only about WHAT but also about WHY & HOW on my channel👆. You can check them all out but you can't find them anywhere else.
Great analysis in the first half of the video! But In the 2nd half, I don’t understand what u meant by “the tone of 南京话 is wrong”. 南京话有南京话本身的tone, 如果影片里是南京人说南京话，那她南京话的tone是对的，我们只能说南京话的tone和普通话不同，而不能说她的南京话的tone不对。如果你想演示的是“南京人说普通话时的发音问题”，那我可以理解你的意思：“这位南京人说的普通话不标准因为她的tone不对”。如果是此意，那这段video segment 的title应该改成“南京人说普通话”。否则我不明白你是在评论“南京话和普通的区别”还是在评论“南京人说普通话时的发音问题”。（Btw, I’m a native Chinese speaker)🤗
Excuse me once again, so I can use shízhe (try to do sth) in a tense like in this sentence: I'm trying to learn Chinese, so how it would be? Wo zhèng zài shìzhe xuéxí zhöng wén? Sorry some stress are not on my keyboard, am I wrong about the use? Isn't a verb?
Good analysis! I started studying Chinese around a year and a half ago (and although I'm far from being fluent, I feel I have a good grasp of the tones). I watched that interview around a month after I started learning the language, and I remember I had no trouble whatsoever to understand what Zuckerberg was saying, and I even thought his pronunciation is quite good, haha. Now though...It is a different story. His sentence structure and tones were so off that I didn't get a lick of what he was talking about (past the 我的中文很糟糕 part), and I had to wait for you to repeat his words. Maybe elementary students have an easier time understanding each other because they make similar mistakes. But I guess, the more your tones and overall pronunciation improve, the harder it is to understand "bad" Chinese.

Andy, your English is almost perfect. There's one pronunciation you should watch out for, though. 'Video' is pronounced as if 'viddeo' (lax 'i'). It failed to get Anglicanized to fit the few rules.

I think it’s a shame you view the other “dialects” as less than Mandarin, and not as true languages. I don’t know enough about Nanjing dialect to comment on it specifically but in general Iw ould assume the speakers of a dialect have found their own unique and complete forms of expression. In the US we have dialects (and in this case they really are dialects, not languages, because they’re mutually intelligible which many Chinese dialects are not) which have less prestige than others, but the ones with less prestige are understood by linguists to be complete and fully logical in their own way just like the prestige dialects. E.g., African American English is quite different from white English, but actually follows its own internal grammar and phonology. I enjoy your videos a great deal.
I think that a lot of people fail because they don't notice the different pronunciation of the sounds or even how to make them. They don't move the tongue the the proper place to make the proper chinese pronunciation. The pronounce the letters like they would pronounce them in english.
we name first the other person "my dad and I" also in writing. We do this out of respect. Chldren learn it at school. You don't have this concept in chinese?
For sure he could. But this is the latest conclusion of my research. Maybe no other Chinese teacher have the idea of stress in Chinese because no textbooks mention that so far.

How the fuck is he a good programmer / coder when he can’t even get basic grammar down pat. Makes me scratch my head. Btw Andy your English pronunciation is excellent. If I did not see you were Chinese I would assume you are American or Canadian and at the very least think you are an international citizen. In fact your English is very international. Meaning your accent is very neutral .
I find Mandarin Chinese impossible to learn, and my pronunciation and tone are terrible at best, and yet even I don't sound as bad as Zuckerberg. Listening to his speech was pretty cringy, to be honest.

I’m not sure outside of his wife and making money that Zuckerberg cares about Chinese culture.
Good point! Thank you for sharing your story!👍
@Sero Suit the people you speak of didn’t actually embrace the culture. If the language of the culture is tonal and you don’t learn tones then how can you communicate?
I am also black and learning Chinese ! Let’s go fam

Wow this was incredibly helpful!!! I've been trying to learn for awhile. I've thought about how we learn languages....and I think something that would be helpful for many learners is to read out loud with a native speaker correcting the tones as they speak. And I always ask for people to correct me in speaking...but many times the person will be shy about that and let the mistake go.
No problem.
Thank you for your good feedback😊

Its hard for me to find a native who doesnt laugh at me and degrade me for not knowing
As a language teacher the American, you are correct. The westerner worries too much about tone but it is not that important. They must speak with confidence, good rhythm, be clear, and not be afraid of mistakes. Practice is the best way, speak with the native.
But first, consider being in China at the best areas for Mandarin standard. Where is it in China?
Thank you for your good feedback.
Northern and central China is better than the southern part of it :)

@@AskAndy Thanks for the feedback, Andy: this lesson on pronunciation tips especially on stress was very helpful. Paradoxically, it also explains why many Chinese don't sound like English speakers, stressing the last part of words. 'First' becomes 'firSTE.' for example... Yes, regarding your approach, you provide intuitive logic that works, which I enjoy rather than passive rote learning that is so boring in comparison. (I can point out some other features in your English that you might like to improve if you wish - basically just fine-tuning. That said, you already have a very agreeable and captivating speaking style. ) Best wishes to you and your wife.
Some really good advice.
I want to learn the proper way to speak Chinese. Thanks😊

Interesting about stressing the second syllable. No teacher every taught me that. Maybe they feel it is too advanced a concept for beginners, but it seems pretty important.
That may be the difference between language teachers and linguists. Language teachers teach you the content (pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar which are WHAT) and then you need to "practice makes perfect" while linguists study languages and let you know WHY and HOW so that you can learn better and faster.
@@AskAndy For me, that's the most enjoyment I get out of learning Chinese, the why and how! Thanks for what you do.

Today's important point
我的中文很糟糕，但是我试着说中文
Great analysis in the first half of the video! But In the 2nd half, I don’t understand what u meant by “the tone of 南京话 is wrong”. 南京话有南京话本身的tone, 如果影片里是南京人说南京话，那她南京话的tone是对的，我们只能说南京话的tone和普通话不同，而不能说她的南京话的tone不对。如果你想演示的是“南京人说普通话时的发音问题”，那我可以理解你的意思：“这位南京人说的普通话不标准因为她的tone不对”。如果是此意，那这段video segment 的title应该改成“南京人说普通话”。否则我不明白你是在评论“南京话和普通的区别”还是在评论“南京人说普通话时的发音问题”。（Btw, I’m a native Chinese speaker)🤗
我是从老外的视角出发的。只是想告诉他们即使普通话的声调错了，只要重音和节奏是对的，大多数的中国人还是可以听懂的。所以第二部分是南京人说普通话的发音问题，尤其是相对于普通话而言的声调错误问题
Excuse me once again, so I can use shízhe (try to do sth) in a tense like in this sentence: I'm trying to learn Chinese, so how it would be? Wo zhèng zài shìzhe xuéxí zhöng wén? Sorry some stress are not on my keyboard, am I wrong about the use? Isn't a verb?
You are right👍
Good analysis! I started studying Chinese around a year and a half ago (and although I'm far from being fluent, I feel I have a good grasp of the tones). I watched that interview around a month after I started learning the language, and I remember I had no trouble whatsoever to understand what Zuckerberg was saying, and I even thought his pronunciation is quite good, haha. Now though...It is a different story. His sentence structure and tones were so off that I didn't get a lick of what he was talking about (past the 我的中文很糟糕 part), and I had to wait for you to repeat his words. Maybe elementary students have an easier time understanding each other because they make similar mistakes. But I guess, the more your tones and overall pronunciation improve, the harder it is to understand "bad" Chinese.
😁Thank you for sharing your story! That's interesting!

"Thank you for coming" , it can be said "谢谢大家 的到来"?? Or how it would be?
It's better to say "感谢大家的到来". 感谢 is more formal than 谢谢 and usually we only say "thank you for coming" on formal occasions
Hi Andy, I am an American teaching Chinese in America. I asked many Chinese teachers but none of them have ever heard of Rhythm and Stress. Can you provide some references from other teachers? Thanks
Sorry, I can't. Because it originated with me.

Andy, your English is almost perfect. There's one pronunciation you should watch out for, though. 'Video' is pronounced as if 'viddeo' (lax 'i'). It failed to get Anglicanized to fit the few rules.
Thank you for your comment and time, my dear friend! I've always been trying to improve my English and I know there's a long way to go.
@@AskAndy Not a long way at all.
@@AskAndy To improve you english greatly, don't add an extra sound after words ending in d ot t. This is a common mistake.
Is "试着" also used as imperativ (beside durativ form)?
No. 试着 is for TRY TO DO STH
@@AskAndy it is not imperativ?
Thanks a lot
No problem.

I think it’s a shame you view the other “dialects” as less than Mandarin, and not as true languages. I don’t know enough about Nanjing dialect to comment on it specifically but in general Iw ould assume the speakers of a dialect have found their own unique and complete forms of expression. In the US we have dialects (and in this case they really are dialects, not languages, because they’re mutually intelligible which many Chinese dialects are not) which have less prestige than others, but the ones with less prestige are understood by linguists to be complete and fully logical in their own way just like the prestige dialects. E.g., African American English is quite different from white English, but actually follows its own internal grammar and phonology.
I enjoy your videos a great deal.
我很高兴来到北京。
Priscilla parents heritage is Vietnamese- Chinese descent
I think that a lot of people fail because they don't notice the different pronunciation of the sounds or even how to make them. They don't move the tongue the the proper place to make the proper chinese pronunciation. The pronounce the letters like they would pronounce them in english.
I agree - Engnese😁
This language is simply too hard for me :D zhongwen zhen nan!

Is mandarin same as simplified Chinese
Hello Andy,
Even though Mark Zuckerberg's wife is Chinese-American, he needs more time to improve his Chinese....
You are right. That's why I made this video for English speakers like Mark to know how to improve...
patreon is pronounced PAY-TREE-ON, pay as in "pay the bill". not PAH-TRON. it's a play on the word patron.
Thank you for correcting me.
we name first the other person "my dad and I" also in writing. We do this out of respect. Chldren learn it at school. You don't have this concept in chinese?
We show our respect for others in another way

THANK YOU XIE XIE ZHEGE SHIPIN
Oh if ,Mark Zuckerburg promotes learning Chinese then I don't want any part of it
Like you. Despise Zuckerberg.
Why he could not pay a good private teacher?
For sure he could. But this is the latest conclusion of my research. Maybe no other Chinese teacher have the idea of stress in Chinese because no textbooks mention that so far.

How the fuck is he a good programmer / coder when he can’t even get basic grammar down pat. Makes me scratch my head.
Btw Andy your English pronunciation is excellent. If I did not see you were Chinese I would assume you are American or Canadian and at the very least think you are an international citizen. In fact your English is very international. Meaning your accent is very neutral .
I find Mandarin Chinese impossible to learn, and my pronunciation and tone are terrible at best, and yet even I don't sound as bad as Zuckerberg. Listening to his speech was pretty cringy, to be honest.
