Thank you all for the 30K subscribers!! ✨ I feel so blessed to be able to share with you my knowledge of the Chinese language. And you have given me so much valuable feedback and inspiration.

Such a professional attitude while talking about subjects most Chinese youtube channels don't teach us about. Important for all learners to know these things!
The aunt example is really interesting cause in English, there's a similar euphemism. It's more of a joke, but if a girl were on her period you could say her great aunt Flo came to visit (since Flo sounds like flow, i.e. menstrual flow)
No idea why but I am completely fluent in Chinese - in fact, I am Chinese.. but I still watched all her videos~ they’re so interesting for some reason even though I already know everything 😂
Literally the best educational chinese channel! Among all the intricate details you always incorporate in your videos, I love being able to see how the characters look like in their traditional form even though I'mlearning the simplified version. Thank you for the quality content you make ❤❤❤ 加油!
我看著 ”想見你“ 的時候，有一個女生在洗手間。她朋友的男找到她了，後來問 ”你頭疼嗎？還是吃壞了肚子？哦，是那個。。。“ Or something like that, it was pretty funny seeing 那個 in action and realizing what was happening at the start of your video 哈哈哈
Lol, i have so much fun learning from your channel. And to this video, your content and cinematography is so well- developed! 谢谢 Grace 大姐! 你的视频对我挺有帮助的，等待你下个内容，我等不了啊😆😆😆
In Spanish we have lots of sayings involving Chinese people or China. For instance: 1. Esto es un cuento chino (lit. This is a Chinese fairytale). Used when something is hard to believe. 2. Me suena a chino (lit. This sounds like Chinese to me). When we can't understand what other people are saying because the topic is very complicated. 3. Esto es trabajo de chinos (lit. This is a Chinese people work). It is used when something (usually artistic or handicrafted) is very elaborate or has lots of details.
Already wrote you on IG but I need to say again that this video is so informative and interesting!!! I hope I can learn more of these once I'm in Taiwan. ☺️
You're breathtaking!! 😎 Awesomes lessons!! Не понимаю, каким образом, мне и на английском всë понятно в ваших видео, хотя я английский очень плохо знаю)
Great topic, all the examples are highly useful and frequently heard. Very smooth explanation;-) Just an idea for a future topic could be explaining a popular song. 2 songs I used to listen to over and over are below 張震嶽 A-Yue - 愛的初體驗 王力宏 Leehom Wang - 龍的傳人
As a native speaker I just don''t realize how many of 那个 or metaphors I use just because it's a sensitive topic, one thing came at the top of my head was when Chinese want to refer to some serious sickness like cancer 癌症 people tend to just say 那个 and you really have to udnerstand the content to be able to understand what 那个was referring to. We are doing videos with Chinese and English subtitle and would love to get some support =) Thank you and good luck to all you Chinese learners.
I teach English on the mainland of China and I asked my students about chaofan as I saw this a few months ago on another video( I teach adults) and they had no idea what I was talking about so I guess chaofan only means to have sex in Taiwan. Now it’s a common joke in my class. Everytime I want to say have sex I say Chaofan. Always gets a laugh. I guess you could have also mentions eating someone’s Toufu and little brother and little sister.
Many phrases are specific only to Taiwan only or mainland China only, especially for informal slangs. Just like for "video", she said "yingpian", while in China it's "shipin".
What about the word 給？ There’s this drama character who said 給我啊 in an 18+ context, so the meaning is obvious. But is it a commonly used expression or does it sound odd?
Thanks for this video! This will help in situations where I would have directly translated the saying without realizing it.. now time to watch it a few times so I can remember all of it.
I really confuse the sounds j,q,x and c,z,s. I saw the video you talk on this but still not understand. Could you make another video talking specifically. Thank a great deal. From Vietnam.
Ya. I tried a lot of times that way. it is just different from the vowels but the consonants are the same. They are quite similar. Whether Vietnamese and Chinese have many common points in pronunciation.
You do know that the first one absolutely sounds like...sth even more "extra"...right? Actually the 2nd one too....esp pronounced "neige". But I guess you did know that...
Great video as always! Very useful! May I ask, at 2:16 , why do you use "結果" to say "but" ? If I remember correctly, "結果" means "result" right? Thanks!

Hello from Mexico😊👋
Such a professional attitude while talking about subjects most Chinese youtube channels don't teach us about. Important for all learners to know these things!
This is the kind of stuff you can't get from a textbook. 谢谢你!
books are for old people. her channel is a living book. it even replied us !
The aunt example is really interesting cause in English, there's a similar euphemism. It's more of a joke, but if a girl were on her period you could say her great aunt Flo came to visit (since Flo sounds like flow, i.e. menstrual flow)
I'm glad your channel appeared in my recommendations. it's a true hidden gem. Keep going! 加油~
Ah yes..Add oil. (This is a joke I already know it means to keep going)
Really interesting content.. gives the sense of the language, 谢谢
It's do sweet that our Guo laoshi goes as far as to write subtitles in both traditional and simplified Chinese
This is great stuff! You don't find this in a regular dictionary. Thank you!! 😁👍
欸，妳是個解釋語言的天才
你好！我来自柬埔寨的金边，我刚才跟随你的视频，很有意思，我学中文一年了，但是我只能明白简单的，我看过你所有的视频以后，我明白得多；谢谢美人 :)
That was really helpful to have seen this video a few weeks back because I'm watching The King of Romance right now and all this 炒飯 talk was crazy.
Coccinelle 😂😂
Best channel to learn Chinese! I have just started to learn this amazing language and your channel is soooooo helpful
Thank you for your video! I only started learning Chinese a few months ago and your videos make it much easier for me 🙏😊♥️ 谢谢你
Svitlana Sheludiakova I’m glad the videos are helpful for you! You’re welcome!

I love all these types of lessons - really useful, thank you Grace 😊

非常感谢你！你最棒的中文老师💛
I love the inclusion of linguistic realities.
Grace goes beyond recycling basics.
And this presentation was tastefully done, not pandering clickbait.
谢谢老师。每一次看你视频都能学几句课本没有的生词。
Jon Petruch 不客氣！很高興你學到了新東西！（不客气！很高兴你学到了新东西！）:D
台湾人不用“视频”这个用词。他们说“影片”
@@confach 什么叫影片，顺便一下，台湾是什么东西？🤔🤔
@@confach 没有吧，但我还不知道他们的条件。你是在台湾吗？
Very good
Because of light novels, quite familiar with cooking rice
About die/death/epic fail, a joking way to say is 凉了（liang2 le） literally means "(body) cold already".
We use the same expression in Korea.
When I can't speak bluntly
那个=그 거=그 것=that

I think these skits are the best parts of these lessons XD
Grace很用心！看你的教學是享受
Wow! !! really interesting. I really didn`t know yellow colour uses in that way of saying. Thank u Grace.
Oh i got one! When we go hiking in Taiwan, it's common to hear someone announce there's gold (黃金) on the trail when they see dog poop!
So happy to see the 注音!! Thanks for another great video. It would be awesome if you did a video all in Chinese sometimes too ^^
Hi Christina! Thanks!
I've made a video all in Chinese, here: th-cam.com/video/LOCJn0ZRrRM/w-d-xo.html
Feel free to check it out! ;)
謝謝！很棒的內容. I'm taking the TOCFL in January, so your channel has been really helpful and a more relaxing way to study 😄
哈囉！很高興你喜歡我的影片😊 Good luck with your exam!
加油！！
我看著 ”想見你“ 的時候，有一個女生在洗手間。她朋友的男找到她了，後來問 ”你頭疼嗎？還是吃壞了肚子？哦，是那個。。。“
Or something like that, it was pretty funny seeing 那個 in action and realizing what was happening at the start of your video 哈哈哈
Yay! glad that you can understand it now :D
You are amazing! 太有用了😌
You make it so easy and helpful. Thanks!

In Spain , people say Chiste Verde @_@ right?
@@moonnight0531 Yes, exactly! And we say 'viejo verde' to refer to an old man that has sexual interest in young girls (not a pedophile).
Mocchan y un dicho :algo más raro que un perro verde 😉 qué tiene que ver con Verde ..
@@moonnight0531 True! And when you are late we say: a buenas horas mangas verdes!
Really helpful good content
Thank you! This was very useful!
Thank you Grace you are very teacher 💚❤💜💛
Thank you Aynaz! You always come to watch my videos as soon as I upload them!
@@GraceMandarinChinese yes ❤我爱你💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜
woooah what ice cream is that in the beginning, looks so good 😋
🤣🤣🤣🤣why dude!
Hahaha that's milk ice cream lol
Yellow as a euphemism is similar to blue in English but blue is a little old fashioned
I really like this
Already wrote you on IG but I need to say again that this video is so informative and interesting!!! I hope I can learn more of these once I'm in Taiwan. ☺️
Thank you Jan! You can definitely learn more when you come to Taiwan ;)
this video is so good, very informational and professional but in a way where i feel comfortable thank u so much for this video! it was so helpful
Fantastic very beautiful
谢谢您老师很努力给我们很多影片！真的我学多啦。。
请老师继续努力哦！！ 我会等老师的未来影片。
冲啊！
You're breathtaking!! 😎
Awesomes lessons!!
Не понимаю, каким образом, мне и на английском всë понятно в ваших видео, хотя я английский очень плохо знаю)
I have learnt a lot
I wonder what my sister thought of me when i was watching this video lol
Im only a begginer, but 谢谢老师！
月經的那個例子蠻實用，但比把委婉瑜都聽懂還重要的是當你女友那個真的來了，那怎麼辦！照顧得不好的話，你就下地獄了 也許下一支影片你可以舉例，比如用中文怎麼說：“寶貝我真的很愛你，就是你這幾天都變得很可怕，我怕煮選錯飯給你吃就死定了”
以上的例子跟我個人日常生活毫無關係的 :)
Peter Stebbins 😂😂
谢谢老师， 说实话我没想到那词"炒饭"有其它的意思哈哈
Great to see Taiwanese creators doing Mandarin content! 我也能練注音符號
Thank you, the content is awesome! Could you speak more Chinese? Maybe explain in Chinese with English subtitles
Great topic, all the examples are highly useful and frequently heard. Very smooth explanation;-)
Just an idea for a future topic could be explaining a popular song.
2 songs I used to listen to over and over are below
張震嶽 A-Yue - 愛的初體驗
王力宏 Leehom Wang - 龍的傳人
舒服了 😊
Wow this is some solid content! 👍👍👍
Thanks for another lesson! In a future lesson, could you discuss that 雪花飄飄 北風蕭蕭 song？😀
We also says 「做那種事 zhuo na zhong shi」(lit. do that kind of things) to refer to having intercourse 😂😂
I think this video is 惊艳
Could you do a lesson on 有没有 VS 是不是？

Oh snap! Like in the movie Sixth Sense when the protagonist's wife says "Why did you leave us?" and the protagonist is like "Leave? What? Am I dead?"
很漂亮的Grace老师、你的视频真牛了！
Большое спасибо, узнала много нового!
Anothrr euphemism in english for someone dying is saying they "passed away"
你可以解释“则”的用法吗？
I teach English on the mainland of China and I asked my students about chaofan as I saw this a few months ago on another video( I teach adults) and they had no idea what I was talking about so I guess chaofan only means to have sex in Taiwan.

Just like for "video", she said "yingpian", while in China it's "shipin".
In Russian, yellow is used to refer to the gutter press.
Oh! So it’s a bit similar to Chinese 😳
Do you have a pdf of these statements?
「還把我的電腦借走」
笑死我啦！
happy to see 注音符號. I dont know pin yin
日本語とほぼ同じだね！覚えやすい
That’s Advanced Chinese Lesson!
你选的角度不错
{... What would I do without this content! 💖
What about the word 給？ There’s this drama character who said 給我啊 in an 18+ context, so the meaning is obvious. But is it a commonly used expression or does it sound odd?
Thanks for this video! This will help in situations where I would have directly translated the saying without realizing it.. now time to watch it a few times so I can remember all of it.
I really confuse the sounds j,q,x and c,z,s. I saw the video you talk on this but still not understand. Could you make another video talking specifically. Thank a great deal. From Vietnam.
Ya. I tried a lot of times that way. it is just different from the vowels but the consonants are the same. They are quite similar. Whether Vietnamese and Chinese have many common points in pronunciation.
3:10 IJBOLLLLLL your examples are so funny im happy to learn from you sjdjskkdkdkf
那個來了。 黃色笑話
小明問爸爸：
小明：「爸爸，為何男女辦事時，只有女爽，男不爽呢？」
爸爸：「這跟挖鼻孔一樣。挖鼻孔只有鼻孔爽，手指當然不爽！」
小明：「為何女人被強暴不自在呢？」
爸爸：「你走在路上，有人硬要挖你鼻孔，你會自在嗎？」
小明：「為何女人那個來時，不想辦事呢」？
爸爸：「你流鼻血時，你喜歡人挖你鼻孔嗎？」
小明：「為何許多男女辦事時，都不戴套子呢？」
爸爸：「你喜歡戴手套挖你鼻孔嗎？」
You: 你怎麼這麼黃啊？
Me: But you said you weren't angry!
You do know that the first one absolutely sounds like...sth even more "extra"...right?
Actually the 2nd one too....esp pronounced "neige". But I guess you did know that...
谢谢！
不客氣（不客气）！:D
in Italy "yellow" is related to investigation novels ahahahahah
ahhh italiano che aprende Cinese??????
diventiamo amiciiii
In the USA it is a racist anti-East Asian term.
Very useful :)
0:00 好像是小孩子 😂
I laughed so hard at 炒饭 😂. 3:14 : 好可爱 :p
Why fried rice btw?^^
Haha Thanks Tronix!
Actually I don't know its origin, I'll have to look it up :P
@@GraceMandarinChinese Oh ok ^^
老师你好，我想问你一个我挺好奇的问题。你英语这么好肯定是专门学过的吧。假设你在中国跟一个学中文的美国人谈恋爱。他想提高他的中文水平，你想提高你的英文水平。刚开始你们可能会说好隔天英文中文这类的，可是这样持续下去时间长了就会开始有点烦了。最后你觉得你们会讲中文比较多还是英语比较多？你更希望在家里跟男朋友讲中文还是英文？ ^_^ 谢谢
你实实在在真的很顺眼
长得很美，又白又漂亮
what is this alien language above in chinese characteres? hahahaha but the video is very good thanks for share it with us
does anyone know the title of that movie? 05:00
I too am curious since it looked very familiar to me
Great video as always! Very useful!
May I ask, at 2:16 , why do you use "結果" to say "but" ?
If I remember correctly, "結果" means "result" right?
Thanks!
结果 also means the outcome of something！so the outcome of the period is that she cant attend the game！
@@nickylam-hong6845 ooh i see now! Thanks a lot for explaining ☺️
Could it be like ‘turns out’?
Nice lessons but sometimes the translations bit too fast :s maybe for my poor chinese?
Thanks 🙏
I get this one, because I guess I have watched too many Taiwanese dramas 😆
That's great haha!
Great Video, Very Informative. Save a lot of embarrassment in the future👍👍👍
也有人会说“他挂了“ （死了）
确定前面的没有缺了个“了”，听的好不习惯。
Thanks to Taiwanese dramas I've watched, I learned too many double meaning words especially 18+ lol
Grace 你觉得去台湾还是中国学中文哪个好
Really interesting content, can I add your we chat😍😍?
黃 - can this be found in 'sexual harassment' or is that a different word? Thanks!
