      I think this translation is little bit wrong. 8.50 这里的天气不是太冷,就是太热。Exact translation should be" If the weather here is not too cold then it's too hot." 但是你的视频很好处。

    This is a fantastic video! My vocabulary is pretty decent (around 2500 words), but without context and listening skills, they don't do a lot on their own. I knew all of the words in the video, but I'm on my fourth time watching this, and listen to parts many more times than that. I love it. Thanks!!!

    I took my HSK 5 and passed it last year almost entirely by watching this channel and speaking chinese with the locals while living in China. I did lots of HSk5 mock tests and used Pleco + Android to memorize characters..
    This channel is all laid out for you in the easiest way possible. The grammar series and the HSK series are a god send... I don't know how I would have learned it otherwise..

    • @PeterMasalski93
      @PeterMasalski93 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@LeMouvementNZ I bought 4 boxes of A4 paper, and 100 pens... and literally wrote down 500 characters a day.. hardest is to differentiate similar sounding characters..
      not to mention memorizing Anki Flashcards.
      It was the hardest part
      Chinese has straightforward sentences, so its not hard to write a sentence ( no grammar, no plurals, no fancy sentence structure), however, remember the characters is a massive obstacle.

      @@awesomebearaudiobooks After some time, I realized that I wasted a lot of paper. I bought a small whiteboard (like 50cmx50cm) with a box of board markers (20 markers).
      And I just lied down on my bed with my HSK list, I would use flashcards to review the meaning and then start writing them big until I could write them in a single motion small. Once I could write them small enough I switched to paper to be able to fill in the exam questions.
      Using paper will clog your trash bin, I promise you that. I forgot to mention my small whiteboard in my initial post which helped me draw them big at the beginning.
      So I would suggest
      - Start with a whiteboard with markers and practice them big with all the details, slowly make them smaller and remember the motion.
      - Once you are good enough and able to write them small (book size/test size) then switch to paper for essays and stuff.

    This is a very good video. I'm happy to say that i've advanced beyond the level where this would be helpful, but if i had seen this years ago i probably would have got there sooner. Any beginner or intermediate students would do well to check this out.
    The vocab is all simple enough to allow one to focus on the sentence patterns themselves, and they're the kind of sentence patterns that are important for getting beyond the 'me tarzan you jane' level of simple grammar, which, it's very satisfying being able to sound halfway natural in a language so different from one's native tongue (chinese is the only language i've ever progressed to that stage in, despite having studied a few others). I remember drilling these things at uni, and a lot of them are weird, but hey, that's the way the chinese talk. And, some chinese people are (or at least act) very impressed with any laowai who can muster a simple "nihao, qingwen tushuguan zai nar?", using these kinds of patterns will get you more deserved/sincere props. If you're vain af like me, that's half the game. Or you could just memorize like hundreds of chengyu, and that might actually stroke their cultural ego more, and then you're just TMD厉害了. But who wants to memorize chengyu, really?
    Anyway,
    谢谢你,支持!加油!恭喜发财happyeverydaydayupupstudystudygoodgood!
    Oh if anyone bothers to read this i do have one question:
    I lied, there was one sentence pattern i'm not too familiar with, the "等。。。再" --
    So, "才“ is often used for a "not until" or something that happens late, like,
    我三点钟才睡觉了
    wǒsāndiǎnzhōngcáishuìjiaole
    I didn't go to bed until 3 o'clock
    I get (i think) that the 等。。。再 seems to be specifically for waiting for someone (like, that's why it has 等). But in that case, could one use ”等。。。才“ instead? My gut tells me that something like "等大家都到达以后,我们才可以开始吃" should sound okay and also mean "We'll wait until everyone gets here and then we can eat", but sounds more... strict? Like it would be better translated into the english "We cannot eat until after everyone has arrived, get your hands off the goddamn food." ??

    • @MandarinCorner2
      @MandarinCorner2  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Both “等大家都到了,我们才可以开始吃。” Or “等大家都到了,我们再开始吃。“ are correct.
      However, the meaning and the tone are slightly different. The first one is more of a command, "Only when everyone arrives, can we then start to eat." (Do not eat until everyone arrives!)
      Whereas the second one is a simple statement, which means "we will start to eat when everyone arrives. "
