Fantastic video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
I have about less than half as many Chinese books. I've got the Practical Chinese Reader that you show, and the white character book I borrowed from the local library. I like that one because it gives little drawings related to the shape of the characters. Cool.
Girl you have more than me lol. I have that same Chinese Basic grammer book I brought it on Amazon to help me in class and it works and helps me with sentence structure.
Same I repeated my Chinese 101 and I was upset because I got A and wished I never took it again. I transfered as well to a university from a community college and I thought Chinese would be hard at the university but it was the same so I was upset but life is life.
dupe my naija sister!!! how u dey? please what camera do you use to record videos? do you also use an added microphone? I will send you a dm on insta. we seriously need to chat as a fellow nigerian also learning chinese. your progress is incredible. I feel like my progress is so slow.
I dey fine ooo. I'm using the Canon EOS Rebel T6i with no added microphone. I do have one but not sure how it works, still learning it. No problem at all, I shall look out for your dm. Same here, I feel like my progress is slow too, but just trying sha. It's hard when you are not in the environment the language is spoken.
I’d recommend The HSK Standard textbook and workbook collection. Although the book mainly focuses on preparing one for the HSK exams, I’ll still recommend it those who aren’t planning on taking the HSK exam because I believe you would be aware of the common words and grammar that a person taking the Chinese proficiency test should know. Although, other textbooks will eventually teach you these words and grammar points but it is easier with a book that focuses on HSK proficiency test. I’m currently using the HSK collection alongside Chinese Zero to Hero course because I believe it will help me learn better. For me, I learn much better when things are explained to me than just reading and also it saves me time on researching grammar points.
I believe New Practical Chinese Reader is also a great book to use, because it has exercises and drills and as you go up in level you get short stories (in chinese) at the end of each chapter. Good thing that it goes up to 6 levels.
I don't like the New practical Chinese series its hard to understand and learn the characters using this series. I also feel the book has to much information and does not explain anything well and you need a teacher to help you go through it. I use this book at the community college I went too. Now I am in university we use the Integrated series which I love more and it's easier to learn the language and understand. I threw the New Practical Chinese series books in the trash, But not every textbook is for everyone.
@@thalblankson4002 An update to the third edition.... That's pretty nice....and they have pretty good explanation of words in the dialogue and the grammar points
katherine leal Hahaha I know it does sound like it but I’m not 😄 I was trying to use chinese filler words such as ”那nà 那个nèige” which is equivalent to umm in English. But I try to avoid using it now and also since I hardly ever hear Chinese TH-camrs using this filler word in general. Thanks for the love 💕
Your channel was full of life. Keep going Sis
