谢谢你，Crazie 老师！！！I have finally decided to learn Mandarin for real this time, I'm self learning it from Anki based on HSK 1 content. Found this information very useful, now I'm learning all the pinyin I can too type chinese without having to learn it the traditional way which was very hard in my opinion. Thanks again!!!
不客气，Catarina. How wonderful when you can type those characters out, right? It does train you to recognize the characters too. Hope you are having fun picking up Chinese again!
@@CrazieLaoshi haha funny thing was I learned how to type traditional Chinese without knowing what I was typing, when I learned it I thought was like a game putting all the pieces together although I have never had the real need in using Chinese at work therefore after a while I forgot about it completely... So yesterday after watching your video I used my limited Chinese to type with pinyin which was fun. What I did was, after typing it all out I then paste it onto Google translate to see if they all made sense by clicking onto the sound button. If not then I went back to pinyin and chose another similar sound character or one with another radical. Instead of learning it from here and there I thought of following the HSK curriculum for a better structure. Besides is writing the characters by hand important? Or can that be replaced by writing it or typing it on the computer instead? What do you think on this?
12:42 It doesn't matter which one you use, both Google Translate and your keyboard's voice recognition both use Google's Speech To Text software. So you surrender your data in the same way using one or the other.
I am using google translator to say 谢谢!...I think it means 'Thank You'... I tried to confirm that that is what it means by typing the pinyin Xièxiè... but I got stuck with tones and I neither couldn't find the characters in the list... but it makes sense that the software would just present pics associated with the tonal variations.... and I would just select a number ... SO then I tried just the initials and it came up! 谢谢!
1:38 On a side note, you can still do traditional using the "Chinese (Simplified, China)" keyboard. There is an option to switch the characters to the traditionals one, so that you can still use Pinyin ! 😁 That's what I'm doing :P
I use SouGou which allows me to switch between the two. I did not notice that with the default Chinese keyboard on my computer. Is that what you refer to?
@@CrazieLaoshi Yes I'm talking about the default one, if you go into the Simplified Chinese keyboard's settings, you'll notice a select that allows you to switch between simplified and traditional. And I took my Chinese keyboard a step further by finding online a file that modifies Windows' Registry to change my Chinese keyboard from qwerty to azerty. So that I can have both my keyboards as azerty (because I'm a french native, and we use azerty for french) to make it easier when switching from one to another 😁
Thanks I found this channel from your posts on duolingo I wasnt able to get it working on my android phone. My samsung doesnt have "languages and input" and under general it doesnt have virtual keyboard but its working on my PC
I am glad it is working on your PC. I checked with Samsung it should be General management-Language and Input- On screen keyboard and Samsung keyboard-language and keyboard. You are able to add a maximum of 4 languages in that way. Let me know how this works.
谢谢你！Thank you, this was a useful video. Do you know what is normal typing speed for Chinese speaking office worker when they are typing? I know for language learner our ability is probably limitted our memory to choose the right character, but still a lot faster than writing.
哈哈, 好问题。I never thought about this question so I looked up. It seems lay person types at the speed of 60-80 characters/ minute and then professionals can do 200-400, even faster than speak. I right now can type about 65/minute. :0 What about typing English words?
@@CrazieLaoshi Thank you for the reply! Yes that sounds not to far off what I think it is for English speakers. I think 60-70WPM is normal for professionals who type a lot. (not for me because of so many mistakes..). If I was half that speed one day in Chinese I would be happy indeed :-)
on our computer with this pinyin keyboard, can we use voice recognition for people that are not good with pinyin but able to speak mandarin, so after they speak, Chinese characters will come up.
I think your computer should be able to do it but you probably need to download the language package for voice recognition too to realize that. I will look into this and possibly make a tutorial in a few weeks.
Does anyone know how to input by strokes? In phone it is possible, but in pc i don't know how to install it. I need to input chinese characters, not chinese (i.e., it could be traditional characters or simplify characters or even japanese characters).
@@CrazieLaoshi ¡Yes, the second one! The method where one inputs strokes in the keyboard and it shows the characters corresponding to that stroke order. In Android and Mac it is possible, "for CJK characters" (not only chinese), but I need it for Windows PC too...
@@cuauhcoa have you tried to search 五笔输入法？I will have to search around to see reliable options for this type of input. It was used widely in the past in China.
@@CrazieLaoshi I think "Wubihua (五笔画)" is the name of input method that i was meaning (stroke count method). I read that it is the "Wubi method" version for mobiles (using only 5 keys: 一丨丿丶乙)
If you are using pinyin input, always use v to replace ü, but if you are asking how to type the Pinyin, just the Pinyin, you can use tools like Pinyin Editor to type those special symbols.

:0 haha, improve the speed of thinking in Chinese first and the type speed will come later.
还好 可以用了。谢谢。还想要多多学习。

6:50 "painting" instead of "pinyin" in the subtitles :P

Do you mean by handwriting or the special input where you write the strokes and then it shows the relevant characters?
@@CrazieLaoshi ¡Yes, the second one!
The method where one inputs strokes in the keyboard and it shows the characters corresponding to that stroke order.

Very good thanks a lot!!
I finally added it traditional pinyin on my window 10 pro but its not even named properly. It's under the name of English > Bopomofo
太好了！Did you learn Bopomofo before? My Taiwanese teacher friends teach Bopomofo instead of Pinyin. Do you know how to type with Bopomofo?
谢 谢 我 的 老 师 Correct my grammar if I am wrong! 我 爱 我 的 猫。
Did you type it with the Keyboard? 太棒啦！For Chinese characters you don't need a space in between. :)
@@CrazieLaoshi What I did was, I clicked "ENG" then clicked pinyin, and I typed "wo" which turned into 我
我做到了！谢谢
太好了，Philip。
Thank u😍😍
No problem， 帅哥！
first :)
第一！
how do i type the pinyin ǚ on mac?
You will have to look online since I don’t own a Mac.
If you are using pinyin input, always use v to replace ü, but if you are asking how to type the Pinyin, just the Pinyin, you can use tools like Pinyin Editor to type those special symbols.
@@CrazieLaoshi thanks a lot
