I always watch people from the US adapt life in different countries, but it’s really cool to the the opposite perspective! Love this! I hope Indiana treats you well!
@@GraceMandarinChinese Yes they really are ! 😄 I watched the video first with the english subtitles to be sure to understand eveything and then I rewatched it with the chinese one so that I can try and pratice my skills. Thank you so much for all of your videos, they helped me a lot 🤗
Remember to turn on CC 🙋♀️ Subtitles for today’s video: Traditional Chinese → gracemandarinchinese.com/【mandarin-vlog】helloooo-chicago-traditional-chinese-subs-1/ Simplified Chinese → gracemandarinchinese.com/【mandarin-vlog】helloooo-chicago-simplified-chinese-subs/ Sorry, the sound quality isn't great :( I hope you still enjoy it!
I love how, in this video, you make English subtitles optional! As a Chinese student, it makes watching the video a better learning experience, for I don't have to (instinctively) look at the subtitles.
Oh Joy Yee! great choice Miss Grace! Favorite place to relax during me and my wife’s medical residency training in Chi-town! Also nothing beats walking along Lake front trail on Lake Michigan
Ahh! welcome to Chi-town. Glad to see you enjoyed your stay. A bit sad to see the Chinatown a bit more touristy, the strip mall across the street is where some of the businesses have relocated to. If you ever visit again, Argyle street has a lot of Asian groceries and restaurants.
Hope you're adapting to the life in the US! Glad you are vlogging and sharing your journey with us. It's great to document your journey for your own precious memories. Please try local coffee shops other than Starbucks. I'm not a big coffee guy myself, but I think you can find a lot of better coffee options besides Starbucks! That being said, if you're in Chicago, try a coffee shop called Philz Coffee. It's a smaller chain but my coffee friends love it. Give the "Mint Mojito" a try, it's their signature drink. Another tip I have is to try to open a credit card so you can gain some rewards and start building your credit. It might be a lot to think about, but if you plan to live here long term, having a good credit score will help you a lot in the future. I know you have limited choices as a foreigner, but try to research a little bit on this topic more for your own good. Cheers, looking forward to more vlogs!
Hope you are enjoying things in Indiana. Winter is just about here and it will be very, very cold. Next time you are in Chicago there is a pretty good Taiwanese restaurant, Hello Jasmine, it is a couple blocks away from central Chinatown. 謝謝妳的辛苦了。妳的 videos 很有用。 加油！
If you watch TV shows, presenters often uses various versions of 接下来，接着，紧接着， and they all are like, "next, coming up next, up next" It comes from the meaning of 接 that means "to connect", so I think of it like it's connecting from what we are doing or just did, to the next thing!
12:52 You saved the scariest scene for last😂 (This toll is $6 USD/car, never going that way again) Enjoy your time in the US though! You'll get used to the ridiculous food portions😉
Very nice vlog and interesting to see more about the US. For me as a learner it would be better though to have English and Chinese subtitles at the same time, which unfortunately TH-cam does not offer. Have you thought about maybe putting the subtitles directly into the video for your VLOGs?
Thanks for the downloadable subtitles!🙂 Chicago looks really nice! I haven’t traveled much since the pandemic so watching this feels very therapeutic LOL. Have you experienced any interesting culture shocks since arriving?
If you stick around the Midwest, you should pay Madison, Wisconsin a visit. I hope you enjoy your time here in the US. It's nice to see the script flipped (I was an expat in China for 3 years).
Since the Chinese hand gesture for "six" has to do with the word "六", it doesn't translate into English. In Hawaii, it means "hang loose", or "take it easy". I've encountered many Chinese using that hand gesture in America, to the utter confusion of their American audience.
Great vlog! I have watched several of these; highly entertaining! NO! Chicago's weather (climate) is NOT good. Is this your first time visiting America? If you have the opportunity, I recommend the San Francisco Bay Area; best weather / climate in America! I also enjoy your language videos. I'm very fluent in Mandarin, but I still enjoy watching yours and others' Mandarin language videos.
Why Chicago of all places?! lol. maybe you had a friend living there already? Definitely not where I'd choose to go. Also, any trouble entering the USA right now? seems they're pretty strict, unless you walk in the southern border or board a plane from the middle east.
I always watch people from the US adapt life in different countries, but it’s really cool to the the opposite perspective! Love this! I hope Indiana treats you well!
I really love use your vlog to learn chinese!!!
Yes ! I was waiting for a new vlog from you, I'm so happy ! (btw thank you for always taking the time to put subtitles) :)
You’re welcome! I hope the subs are helpful for your learning!

One question NO ONE will be annoyed about you asking is "how do I tip you" in fact I am betting anyone you ask that to will be especially helpful
我爱你
I love you
I love how, in this video, you make English subtitles optional! As a Chinese student, it makes watching the video a better learning experience, for I don't have to (instinctively) look at the subtitles.
I know the feeling. Sometimes I put a piece of paper over the bottom part of the monitor so I can't see the subtitles.
Hi Grace老师，很高兴看到您这么轻松就适应了新城市的生活，悠闲，放松。
The song choice is always on point!
Oh Joy Yee! great choice Miss Grace! Favorite place to relax during me and my wife’s medical residency training in Chi-town! Also nothing beats walking along Lake front trail on Lake Michigan
So happy to see you doing well! I also want to hear about your internship :)
i love how you do your endings, i never see them coming
New vlog! 耶！
Welcome! I live 2 hrs from there and my sister lives in Logan Square. I love your channel for learning Mandarin!
Enjoy your time in the States!!

Thanks for sharing Grace. I’ve never been to Chicago or the Mid-Wast. I hope you’re having a good experience.
love to see the vlogs! I think they are my favorite style of video. I hope Indiana is a blast!

Welcome to Chicago! I enjoy to learn Chinese from your channel.
我住在美國的時候也發現他們的份量比較大哈哈哈 胖了5公斤lol
I wonder about the expression "接下來“ that you use sometimes, does it mean same as "next"?
Yes it means next
哈哈我完蛋了！可能也會胖很多😂
Yes, it means "next" :)

好美～你跟風景都是！期待你在Indiana 的vlog 🧡
❤️❤️❤️

Enjoy your time in the US though! You'll get used to the ridiculous food portions😉
I studied at Northwestern in Evanston, so I recognized a bunch of these places!! Happy you liked Chicago :D / visit NYC next!!
Woooow 超好看^^ I’ve been waiting for sooo looong!! 祝您中秋佳节快乐!!🥮🎑🎋
中秋節快樂！
Grace ty for this videos 爱你 gracias por enseñarme chino eres la única razón por la que vivo
I hope you enjoy your stay in the US!
And just FYI, if you’re buying takeout, don’t feel the need to tip!
非常好看，中文難度剛剛好，還有字幕對我很有效。希望妳可以拍多blog！
Welcome to America!
Your Google doc translations are just what I needed! It's like script learning made easy!!! Thank you!
You are really going to love Chicago's winter 🥶
手藝真好🤩
Wish we didn't have tipping but thanks for being awesome about it, Grace
Oh Grace you're such a famous world traveler

Haha I might talk about them in my future video!
@@GraceMandarinChinese Oh, I was actually thinking that it’d be interesting to talk about them in a video haha. Cool!
郭老師，你拍的視頻真的體現了芝加哥還有其中國城的特殊、很高興看到了我的老家。當你給服務員小費的時候，這件事真的讓我好笑。因爲相反的，我去中國的時候沒想到他們沒有這樣的方式。所以我去餐廳吃飯之後，想給服務員小費的時候她很不懂也不接受。最後，我覺得挺有意思看到你到布城儅輔導課老師的過程。
哈哈很高興你喜歡！你要記得多推薦一些芝加哥的景點給我😆
Congratulations. You survived Chicago without getting shot.
你好，从泰国的。
I remember opening a bank account at Chase during my first time in the U.S. Nice to know it still takes a long time :D
Make sure you go to many of the free Fall Festivals with live music
If you stick around the Midwest, you should pay Madison, Wisconsin a visit. I hope you enjoy your time here in the US. It's nice to see the script flipped (I was an expat in China for 3 years).
this is an amazing video!
greetings from Argentina!!
Your vlogs are interesting. I'm looking forward your new video.😘😘
enjoy your time there
OMG 😱. If you need any recommendations for places to go or things to see Let me know. Welcome to the Windy City.
Bloomington 也有一個會講中文的專員 人很好！之前還幫我弄信用卡
哇真棒！希望我之後去銀行辦事也能遇到他～
@@GraceMandarinChinese 我記得她叫 Wendy 亞洲人面孔 應該很好認！我有在哀居上pm妳 有什麼在Bloomington其他的問題都可以問我！我有想到什麼特別的也可以傳給你xddd
Grace 👍
Grace戴口罩一樣那麼美
喜歡妳坐著看大海那一段
5:27～5:42
我也喜歡那段！
i like this video in chicago
you got to go to devil dawgs!! they’re one of my favorites, what did you think?
非常好！😁😁😁❣🤜🤛
我想要給妳提供好有用的信息了，最近妳到達美國伊利諾伊州最大的大都市，在美國第三大的城市，芝加哥。我無法知道妳來那兒之前在臺灣提前了解那兒的四季天氣或氣候的特徵，總之來講，因為那兒開始冬季很快了，就算和加拿大的天氣差不多了，我建議妳必定要提前把越冬對策籌備好了，那兒的冬季和春季的氣溫是自十一月份到四月份大約半年以來跟妳老家臺灣臺北的平均冬春季節的氣溫根本完全不一樣的，為了免得有嚴重狀態的感冒等等的疾患，好好兒準備越冬的時候！其實我之前在加拿大東部所在的安大略州所在的加拿大最大有多文化性都市"多倫多" 待過生活一年了，兩座的大都市性格，位置和特徵都有共同的部分不少了,比如兩座的都市是屬於湖濱城市，所以我比較了解能給妳分享一下！
建议下次啊来美国就要来华盛顿特区吧 不仅是有很多非常有趣（有免费）的博物馆，而且这边我门也不缺奶茶店哈 想从这里去提提昂纽约也很方便，做三个小时的火车就到了 虽然说我自己人也在这里应该是扣分的吧😅，但还是觉得DC也蛮好玩的

Glad to watch Ur vlong. How are O doing there? Are you getting used to live there yet?
4:58 super mario music?
How do we say “where are we going next” please
如果你们来旧金山路行，我可以带你们转转！我喜欢看你们经历我们美国人的文化！好多区别！
i would like to speak chinese, but even i cant speak english nor spanish atl well (my native lenguage)
真可爱的Grace，我希望你会享受你在我回家的时间！：）
What bag is this?
很可愛
Grace你可能可以說說你的實習嗎？我猜想蠻多人都對這個話題很有興趣😊
可以是可以哈哈
但其實就是教中文，所以我以為大家不會感興趣XD
@@GraceMandarinChinese 謝謝你跟我們分享喔~~ 希望你喜歡你的實習！
@@jeremye8041 我可能會發在我的Instagram! 或等實習結束的時候拍支影片，還不確定😝 我再想想
@@GraceMandarinChinese 好哇！還有想跟你說：我特別喜歡看你跟美國人講英文😁 我希望我將來可以像你講英文一樣說中文！
我希望你很喜欢芝加哥！请将来你会回来，芝加哥有很多东西所以你应该参观多我的城市。对了你的视频非常好！加油！
I think you'll find every meal is 1.5-2.x times bigger than Taiwan.
好好
歡迎你到美國🇺🇸 我在印第安納長大！如果你有空，我推薦去Broad Ripple（在Indianapolis）～ 我也在Bloomington上大學，如果你找推薦可以問我！
Oh, wow, I didn't know Taiwan doesn't have seagulls! =)
yes, Taiwan province has
You didn’t get deep dish pizza?? What a shame 😭
我希望你在Indiana能玩得开心！我是Bloomington大学的学生
我也是在Bloomington! 好巧！
在美国很像在德国来付款的方法，这么麻烦咯！就使得法国付款的方法看起来容易得多，哈哈。🤣
I love you
7:23 在简体字幕中，您写了“掰掰”，可是看起来大陆的写法是“拜拜”。多谢您的视频博客🙂
Send me those Bok Choy off-cuts, I'll eat them! hehe
I'm from Chicago!
hi, I'm from Taiwan province of China
你去旅行嗎？吃那麼多呀哈哈。那一盤排骨飯是越式的嗎？看起來很像，唯一區別的是米飯是超過的。
What do You Chinese think about Turks?
欢迎来到美国！ 你实习做什么？
你需要来西雅图！
（有機會的話會去的！）有机会的话会去的！
I want to meet you
麥克風有點沙沙的聲音
我想你😉
這次的emoji比較好😂
oh no, Indiana isn't a very great place to visit. Indianapolis can be dangerous. Be careful.
I never tip 😁
Why Chicago of all places?! lol.
maybe you had a friend living there already?
Definitely not where I'd choose to go.
Also, any trouble entering the USA right now? seems they're pretty strict, unless you walk in the southern border or board a plane from the middle east.
I watched previous video. Internship. makes sense now haha.
Take those silly face nappies off. They don't stop any virus 😂😂
Remmeber to tell that to your surgeons when you go through an operation
Wonder how your family and friends feel when they see your racism comment.
@@cawfwe Not the same🤡
