me, a chinese person, who was born in guangdong watching a foreigner’s way of learning chinese to get tips 👁 👄 👁
😂
Me, a mixed child between Chinese and Vietnamese, growing up in VN and cannot speak Chinese even a sentence watching a Chinese learner to get tips ~\(UwU)/~
Same her writing is way better than mine👁👄👁💧
im mixed,, chinese and filipino,, i was born and raised in the philippines so i didnt have a chance to learn chinese-
I'm chinese and got two B's on my chinese exam 🙂
It's nice to watch how students are learning Chinese characters. Thanks for vloging your journey. :)
Your notes are super cute and I'm so glad you're learning Chinese but if you are going to write the characters out for three lines like that, just look up the stroke order before you starting writing out each character! You're Chinese handwriting is actually one of the best I've ever seen from a beginner, but your stroke order is wrong (which I know you mentioned, but here's my point:) and you practiced that incorrect stroke order for 3 lines of your book! I really don't want you to feel upset to anything but I would like to suggest that if you look up the correct stroke order before you start writing it out, then you could be practicing the correct stroke order for 3 lines rather than the wrong one! And trust me, if you learn the correct stroke order, it will take you less time to write the characters (it will feel more natural) and it will also help you improve your Chinese handwriting!
That's all I have to say, I'm so sorry if anything I said made you upset, I really am so happy you are studying Chinese and hope you will never give up ❤️😊
Hahah don’t worry! It doesn’t make me upset! I wanna learn and I think it’s okay to make mistakes! (04:50 ) I did exactly what you mentioned 😆 I looked up the correct stroke order, but I still forgot it! I know what you’re trying to say! It’s not worth it to write a character so many times with wrong stroke order! I can understand what you mean!😊
@@smarttokki your handwriting is SO NEAT IM SHOOK and another tip is to get used to the pattern of left to right and up to down !!
to practice writing characters try skritter i find that the other chinese learning apps focus on vocab more and pronunciation
Hi! I really want to learn chinese, and I don't know ANYTHING about it, I don't even know how to start, can you give me some advice please?
valentina benitez personally i think you need to expose yourself to more chinese/mandarin environments so that you can get used to the language so maybe watching shows (for beginners you can watch chinese peppa pig etc) and also watching youtube videos that are for beginners and teach you the basics? i’m chinese so i’m not really sure 😭😭
what scares me about learning mandarin is the fact that a text book might be giving you the wrong definition and you'd never know..
astro ramirez many chinese characters have more than two meanings, and they have different ways of pronouncing them. Most of the time, they will probably give you the most used way of defining it.
Yes its true lol. 😂 i found a word in the book that i've read before. Luckily i know the meaning of that word is wrong, thanks to chinese drama that make me understand a little bit. 😂 after that, i always double checked the meaning of any word in any platform 😂
You gotta watch more chinese dramas to keep you updated with words lol
@@genieldoblados6676 i hope so. But it's hard for me to click with cdrama. Mostly i only watch about 2 or 3 drama in a year because i couldnt click with the drama and drop the drama in 1 or 2 episode. 😂
Chinese character pairings also have different meanings. So be careful of that. The word pairings can have meanings that are completely different from the actual characters themselves.
If you guys need help with anything chinese related you are always welcome to drop me a dm on my Instagram @rene.lim_ . 😊
in my opinion, chinese is one of the hardest language to learn. big props to doing ur best. stroke order also has many "unwritten rules" so that if u learn correct stroke order for enough characters, new characters will come intuitively.
@@rain.0.0 how are you gonna say Chinese is easy- There's literally a different character for every word and there's no alphabet, as an English speaker, learning Chinese is super difficult
@@rain.0.0 it's really hard for people who aren't chinese... that much should be obvious...
@@rain.0.0 lmao why are you shouting, "learning from heart" wdym by that. If you mean motivation, yeah I have a lot of it, but the language is still difficult
Is not hard but is hard to understand in the proununce so yeah.
Im Latina so pls dont make me bullying about my bad inglish.
@@rain.0.0 if you are born in an area where your first language is Chinese it's easy
but if you're not,
*it's not easy*
It's literally not easy tf you talking about??
My japanese studies are screaming and telling me to keep going :D
Keep going!😊
Keep going boooi! *Let's get It*

I'm chinese and lemme just say your handwriting is way better than mine :)))
🤯you’re too kind
I'm not Chinese but I can realize that the handwriting is so good, especially when she wrote with the highlight pen
I don't even care about the stokes and lines when writing lmao
Lol my teacher said that once she has taught chinese students and they all have the same writing😂Is it true?
@@alenchick245 nope
Hey! You’re really good at Chinese for a beginner, just wanted to point that out. Having grown up speaking and writing Chinese (and English) and being fully Chinese, here’s what I would recommend:
You’re currently learning to write in 簡體 (simplified Chinese), but if you are planning on learning both 繁體字 and 簡體字 I would recommend starting out with 繁體 (traditional Chinese). I get that learning simplified Chinese is easier and possibly faster than learning traditional Chinese, but learning 繁體 then 簡體 rather than 簡體 first and then 繁體 would be easier. (That might’ve been really confusing, lol sorry about that,) By that, I mean learning traditional Chinese then simplified Chinese, instead of simplified Chinese first then traditional would make it easier to learn to read and write the latter version of Chinese.
Do also keep this in mind: mainland China (at least mainly) uses simplified Chinese, but if you’re planning to go to places like Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Macau, learning traditional Chinese would probably be a good idea.
I am a fluent chinese and wow you right Chinese characters so much neater than me!! XD
Same lol
Chinese is such a beautiful language. It has a long history and is really worth learning. Thanks for sharing your experience🥰
我也同意
Hmm your Study methods though aesthetically pleasing - isn’t really efficient. When learning new characters in the beginning learn the most important ones writing over sample ones 10x or so. All others you should not endlessly write. This method takes forever and does not guarantee that you will remember them long term. This is how most study characters and they suffer through it and have to relearn repeatedly.
What I use: flashcards - even new characters I only copy them 2x after that I just see the pinyin side of the card and try to write it down - than if successful
Put it into the green pile - if not back to the end of the deck and with a red pen I correct my mistakes on the written character + rewrite the character with a red pen correctly 1x. In the second round the correct hanzi goes to the blue pile and after that correct hanzi goes into the red pile. I review the red pile later that day/ in the next card pile I do that day, the blue pile the next day and the green pile either the next day or 2 days later. - This is like ANKI but paper based. (Because I only write them down 1x/2x a time I can keep reviewing and the periods of review keep getting longer and longer until they became part of your long term memory and you can easily recall.)
I realized when doing anki that rewriting and copying doesn’t help memorising - only helps in writing nice hanzi so when I struggle to write a character or it’s very ugly I use grey printed practice sheets to write over the hanzi to have the correct way. But it is not to memorise ! It is to have an aesthetic handwriting !
Interesting method I am gonna try it first I gotta make flashcards because I normally learn characters online
I guess this (her method) method might become boring for her in the future. I mean her handwriting is amazing but it takes a lot of time to practice one character. I had been learning Chinese for 1,5 years, so I can say that the first important thing that I learnt was the order of writing. Once I knew the order, it wasn’t a problem to memorize and write words and texts.
@@defnotadel I wouldn't say it's not working, I would only say that it's not efficient. The two things are different. You have to practice 10x if not more to achieve the same results as with active recall and that is scientifically proven.
I really want to try but i’m still a bit confusedd, do u make the flashcards for radicals or like words you learn on the go?
Imma leave my comment here to remember cuz I’m learning Chinese
"I know you wanna learn Chinese but you're procrastinating by watching my video!" haha you got me! SO ACCURATE
for book series i recommend the integrated chinese series (level 1, pt, level 1 pt 2, etc). It comes with a textbook, a workbook for practicing writing characters( details stroke order as well), as well as a workbook to practice what you learned from the textbook. there's also audio that pronounces the vocab and also reads textbook and workbook dialogue but im doing this through a university class so i think if you want to have the audio you have to buy through the publisher site directly. anyways hope this helps.
I’m currently studying Chinese, and that’s how I found your channel. I got so excited to learn that you were watching going seventeen while practicing Chinese characters!!! Those are two things that I love!! 加油！
I learned Chinese for 3 years in high school, then college came around and it was 2 years on and off because of schedule conflicts. Now, I'm trying to maintain my Chinese skills, as well as continue to learn on my own. I've been watching Meteor Garden as well lol. Also, I've never followed the strict stroke order, and my teachers (who were both Chinese born) never really made a big deal about it. They said my handwriting was really nice, so I'm not sure if I should be following the stroke order or not.
Also, for anyone in the USA, I use an app called Mango Languages, and if you have a membership with your local library, then you can have a free account with the app! I find it pretty helpful. You can learn words, phrases, and grammar points.
its more efficient and easier to write if you learn the correct stroke order. plus, the stroke order adds fluidity to your writing, so even if your characters look different from the standard ones, people will recognize the stroke order and thus be able to read your characters, even if you write them fast or sloppy,
koo-core agreed ! When I learnt Chinese as a child, writing it in the correct order made me recognise words faster, and it makes the characters look balanced . My handwriting is more on the efficient than neat, since I go by the ‘as Long as you can read it’ thing, which isn’t really good. idk, but learning the strokes really helped me !
I usually use digital flashcards to memorize kanji, but I think I'll try writing a lot of times as well to see If that also helps me. Because the kanjis that look similar always make me feel confused.
Please, whenever you have time, do a Japanese study with me video ♥️♥️♥️ I'll love it.
I’ll try digital flash cards to see if I can remember better!😊 I haven’t tried different kinds of methods for chinese yet cuz I’m still a beginner! And it’s difficult to remember those characters 😭😅. Oh and Thank you for your suggestion! My next video will be how I study Japanese! ☺️
This makes me wanna learn mandarin >-
Yes I’m a carat!☺️
What Is Carat?
@@cirilocas8345 kpop boyband Seventeen's fandom is called Carat
Cirilo Cas I hope you check out some of their songs and performances their choreography’s are out of this world😭
Ayeee carats
Ty for all the tips. I actually wanted to learn Korean but now that I have seen you you actually inspired me to learn more languages. So I've ordered some books and now I'll study Korean, Japanesse and Chinesse.
It will help me cause in the future I want to travel to asia and maybe go to collage there :). Gl to you and I hope you learn your languages soon!
There's a basic rule in learning strokes in which a certain kind of stroke comes first before the other (e.g. heng which is the horizontal line comes first before the shu or the vertical line). You can look this up on Google. It's really helpful instead of learning the sequences for all characters. Also, it's very very important in writing correctly esp. in calligraphy. Try to master it so your muscle memory won't get used to your current practice.
I hadn’t thought to do this sort of practice with the characters! I’ll definitely do that now, thank you! 💗
'Watching going seventeen while writing characters'
My heart: Aww my fellow Carat❤
Also love your videos!
I never thought about the graph study chart! I recognize Chinese characters, but I was worried about me memorizing them long term. This will definitely help! Thank you so much!
As a chinese when I saw your handwriting i was so shocked and made me question about my handwriting now.
Self esteem - 100000000000
As a chinese, I must say it can be hard to learn chinese! But don't worry, Chinese people don't know to write as many words as you think, we still have loAds of words we don't know how to write, even if we know how to read it. Simple words like 鼻 (bi2, 鼻子 -nose) yea, some of us still forget it. I just realised how the translations are a lil off sometimes, and there are like random traditional characters in your book? Idk if it's supposed to be there but just so you know! I wish you all the best!
Yess. I agree with you. I'm not a native chinese. But i learn chinese only by knowing the pinyin and the pronounciation and memorise some character. But if i have to write it down, then i wont be able to write most of the word that i know 😂
I wanted to learn the Chinese language, but I was too lazy, but when I see your videos, I get energy and start learning
Yay! Good luck ❤️❤️
@@sornfairy5128 🥺❤️❤️
God I remember during primary school we had to do writing exercises to remember how to write the characters but I was a dumb ass kid who didn't know and I thought that it was stupid but now I cannot read and write much Chinese. I only know who to speak it
i’m so motivated to learn Chinese now 🏃🏽♀️
HelloChinese and the Innovation (Chinese 101) apps are my favorite! And I’ve been watching Accidentally in Love on Netflix
Guo junchen 😍😍😍
Wow, your characters are so neat, I was raised in Chins by my grandparents, but when I moved to America with my parents, I forgot literally everything I learned and can only speak Chinese and write simple words lol
i rlly recommend 马立平 chinese books!
the kindergarten to second grade books are mostly poems or short stories
third grade is longer but also short stories
fourth grade is long stories
the grades go up to 8th
every story has words to learn from the stories and each chapter has a glossary telling the meaning of words
ignoring the stroke order, your handwriting is honestly amazing 👏 加油 ^ ^
your vids never fail to motivate me to study!!
this Is the second video I watched on your channel I'm gonna subscribe now!💯💯💯✨
thank you for this!! i've been struggling on how to use my notebooks for this tho. this is a great help for me!!
As Chinese myself, here is my salute to your dedication. We learned basic characters through elementary for 6+ years. Looking back, I dont think I can learn Chinese starting as a grown up man, it is just ... too much efforts. Glad it is my mother tongue so I could master it for free, lol. English is still hard, but that Chinese dauting lol
Chinese is definitely a good language to learn for cultural perspective and business opportunity alike, so all the best luck!
Really enjoyed this video! Instantly subscribed! ^^
omg ur handwriting is so gd (im chinese btw and my handwriting needs to be at least half as good as yours ahhh )
I take mandarin at my school and it’s going great. I’m on lesson 10. But I wanted to learn how to organize my learning and this really helps.
You seem like a really hard working and artsy person. I’m Chinese and I encourage you to try learning chinese calligraphy. Not only does it require you to practice perfecting chinese characters, it also requires you to know the origin of the word and sometimes the history behind it before perfecting the character. Doing chinese calligraphy can benefit you a lot! 加油！👍👍
This is actually good! Keep going!! You can do it!
I feel attacked at the "procrastinate" 😂 btw ur handwriting is so beautiful
thank you for making this content! i currently learn korean and same here watching gose while review the vocabularies lol XD, soon i wanna learn chinese as well and again thank you!
Thanks for this awesome vlog!!! I've started learning Mandarin Chinese!!!💕💕💕💖💖
Me as a chinese speaker, I wanna day myself that chinese is not easy at all. There's no alphabet, there are strokes, you have to rely on your memory and it can be confusing sometimes. The 汉语拼音 and the 成语，笔画 ，熟语EVRYTHING BY MEMORY it's hard but you will eventually get the hang of it and learn way way more to come. Also if you are ready you should change your phone language to chinese. It helps you to get to know some words that you may not know :) study hard! Learning any language is hard and If I were you I would procrastinate :) so you are 👏👏👏👏 加油↖(^ω^)↗你可以的!
oh your hand writing is beautiful !!
your pinyin handwriting is good tho! I'm still in the process of learning, thanks for the tips
Your learning journey makes me want to learn Mandarin
Keep up the great work! Omg your watching metour garden! Nice!
Me who shows symptoms of ADHD making it nearly impossible to learn chinese korean and japanese:
👁👃👁
💧👄💧
Hello there, I'm getting tested for ADHD after few assessments and I am learning Chinese: please don't give up! :)
You can do it, I believe in you! I self-studied Korean even though I can't focus for more than 10 seconds. :D
Girl it’s okay, I show symptoms of adhd it runs in my family 😆 but I’m learning Spanish, French, and Chinese all at the same time. I study each language for 30 minutes a day and what keeps me focus is putting my phone in a different room, grab my computer and play music of my target language. Buying books on how to pronounce it and writing it is the best(this is for Chinese) It isn’t impossible to do, just think of it as playing 3 different sports, you play sports that are similar to each other and you practice everyday, you get better. Languages are the same thing you practice everyday for how long as you want and the results will start to show! I believe you, taking breaks is the best thing when you’re mind is going somewhere else. I struggle too. I think of like 5 things while learning my target language 😂 you got this! Stay motivated and have a schedule that works best for you!! Good luck ✨✨
Better to learn french or Chinese instead Spanish and french because they will mix up with each other and confuse you
@@user-nm6xn8yg5k yea I put a hold on Japanese and Korean, and I replaced those two with german (for now)
I NEED THIS IM LITERALLY DYING IN CHINESE THIS YEAR
thank you so muuchhh babyyy i really confused from where i should start.... this is so helpful thankyouu after giving me a lot of motivation !!!!
I really love your videos so much!! ❤️ they are really inspirational to me because at the moment I’m studying Korean and now I want to start studying Chinese 💕 thanks for the motivation 😄 have a good day or night and stay safe!!!
Thank you!!!❤️have a great day!!!
Smart Tokki also a Chinese drama I recommend is skate into love it’s really good but it had 40 episodes and I’m on episode 11 😅
Hello! I am a student from a chinese school. I have learned chinese for 6 years and learned alot, but that doesn't mean i love it. I don't like it a bit but it's a good language in my opinion. I'm really proud seeing other people learn this language, it was hard for me to go through. In my grade level, there's no pin yin/funetics in our chinese textbooks. Lucky for you, you're trying to self-learn chinese. I have always wanted wanted learn Japanese, but I find it pretty hard. Thank you for trying to learn chinese and thank you for inspiring me!! :)
Wow you agree so organized, so Michu inspiration in this video 😍
thank u so much i really liked the method of drawing squares to write the characters i'll use it
I was wondering why yt recommended me this video cause I only think of learning Chinese and then I saw "going seventeen" and "find yourself"~
Good luck with your studies~^^
lol i'm not patient enough to have such a pretty workbook 😅 mine is a mess and all the character seems to be falling apart.
thank you for the inspiration 💕
I'm.. amazed by how i still remember chinese even tho i stopped learning it 5 years ago.. guess my teacher's hardwork are not in vain 😅
as someone who has been writing japanese characters my whole life, ur handwriting is BEAUTIFUL
Honestly those books are for primary school but it's a great way to learn Chinese. Start from basic and your writing also really good even though sometime you wrote it in the wrong way but it's still perfect! Good luck! 加油！
Even the native speakers from China can't write as beautiful as you do and I think you might be good at drawing since Chinese words are derived from pictures.
Yup😂i’m good at drawing
But not the best😆
You are so organized :) In short, great video
Thank you!! :)
Omg you write so well so much better than me wow that’s amazing
Watching Going Svt was unexpected I'm am carat too. Thanks for such a enjoyable vlog, it's ver motivating.
Hey! I think I really find your videos aesthetic and it inspires me to learn chinese or mandarin too! I would really recommend the app Drops for your vocabulary :) it helps me to remember vocabs easier :)
I can speak chinese, I've studied it for a long time and let me say that your handwriting is sooo good so clear really
Now I'm re-viewing this video and omg 0:17, you actually inspired me to learn mandarin! Now I'm on my way to get the HSK 1
Can you do like a room tour and how you organize ur books and stuff 💖 also do you study characters every day cuz it’s so damn harddddd😭
YOUR HANDWRITING LOOKS SO FRUCKING GOOOD
I really love your videos. And I really appreciate your hard work 😄🙂
Omg, I use the same app for learning Mandarin. This video motivated me. Thank you!
你好 I love these videos keep up the great work btw what are all the apps you use for languages have a nice day!
I am bilingual Chinese and German. Your video just remember me my school time in China.... keep going!
whoa.. great work.. ❤️
You can try download pleco (its an offline dictionary for chinese) and they have this step by step stroke instruction✨✨✨
I use a book by Tuttle. Tells you the stroke order and memory tips for each character. Also learning on Duolingo. Read each sentence out loud and from memory as best you can! Been a game changer for me.
What's the name of the book?
im chinese but i was raised in the us and you know more chinese than i do istg
also your writing is so pretty!!
How is your handwriting so good? I’m Chinese American and I’ve been struggling because I have language classes in Highschool for Chinese. Your videos have helped and motivated me a lot. Tysm!!
I’ve been speaking Chinese for 6 years by now and I think she is doing a great job!
OMG!! I also watched Meteor Garden 2018 and started like Dylan Wang as Dao Ming Tse and Shen Yue as Dong Shan Cai 😍 watching them on your video makes me miss them ☺️
Ahh I remember studying Mandarin back in 9th and 10th grade but stopped because my school stopped the mandarin classes. This video made me miss it and want to continue studying it 😭
I feel like she learns more from those books than I have ever learnt in Chinese class and I’ve been learning Chinese my whole life...
omg meteor garden yess!! MY FAVORITE DRAMA EVER😭😭💖
Hi,I am from China 🇨🇳 and also your writing is very good and you are learning it very well 👍 and you write the characters very good like me
