This is the best video, I watched in last 6-8 months for learning Chinese. Most of the resources you talked about, I am already aware but for a newbie mandarin leaner, this is an excellent video. Though I couldn't develop my vocab but I was in the process to find all these information which I wished I would have seen an year ago. Thanks Man, you are awesome but my recommendation, for full time working person like me even you learn a word or two in a day, give 5-15 mins daily would be fine, instead of giving full energy and getting lost on the way. Again so nice of you for share an amazing video. Keep it up.
@@BrianWilesQuizzes Welcome Man, you really deserve it. I searched all this material in 6-8 months. Your amazing video will save time of many more and is a very good motivation for language leaners. Additionally, you sound very good which is another plus as you have so much energy, you are paving the way for others. Great Job.
Keeping a journal and learning to write Chinese will change your world. I've learned how to write tons of new vocabulary words (both traditional and simplified) just by writing down my ideas and thoughts on the left page of a notebook while writing down unknown characters a few times on the right page. It will make you stand out if you learn to write Chinesr with a pen.
Chinesse seems hard initially, but when you realize it doesn't have conjugations, declinations, genders, and tenses, you know you can save a lot of time, for example in chinesse every verb has only 1 form and you know time by context, and in spanish every verb has 108 forms.
chinese has always been my dream language, but I was scared at first. However, it turned out to be so pleasant to learn. I really love it, and I think this is the key why it sticks to my mind so easily. I can say even easier than English some years ago. The great video, definitely! So many great resources, thank you!
@@ZixuanWang-ly4xy useful only in China and Taiwan. Outside those two countries it's practically useless. English is the true useful language since it's spoken globally around the world.
this is probably the best, most comprehensive and realistic guide to learning mandarin ive seen yet! thank you for being so specific and straight to the point instead of just spouting generic language learning tips. will definitely be using this :)

I would like to recommend two Taiwanese podcasts: 1. 鄭淳予的深夜播客。A podcast about poems that I find very relaxing. In each episode one topic is chosen, and the hosts share their views on the topic and read to you poems that are related to the topic. Some recent topics are: mystery, memories, kindness & chatting. The three hosts are female and they speak in gentle voices and moderate pace. They are good friends for a long time so the atmosphere is always great and playful. 2. 衣櫥裡的讀者。A podcast that share one book with you each episode. I love the host's taste in books. So far my favorite episode is #72 where he talks about the history of building design. The male host speak clearly in moderate pace.
Thank you so much for this! I’m can currently speak English, Korean, Spanish, Japenese, and now Mandarin🤭 and this really helped me! I hope I can accomplish my goal of becoming a United Nations Translator.
Hi guys, I'm Brazilian and I really wants to learn Chinese/mandarin. If a native speaker wants to exchange I can teach Portuguese. Brian, you slayed! This video helped me not freak out and have a point to where start learning. Thank you so much ❤
This is literally the best language learning video in the entire youtube, thank you very much for your time and dedication, I can only hope someday you do one like this for Japanese and Arabic!!!!
It will be awesome when you make one of these "How to Learn [insert language here] On Your Own for FREE" to learning russian. Congratulations for the channel. Excellent content.
I have been meeting a lot of Chinese and Taiwanese friends online and I suddenly feel really excited to study mandarin. Making friends makes the process more exciting!
You should be aware that mandarin used in Taiwan is different from Mandarin elsewhere. The Taiwanese dialect is intermixed with English, Japanese, and vietnamese words. Scholars see it as a completely different dialect and call it Min.
Not in all cases. Min is too different from Mandarin. Have you seen the movie Coughing Tiger Hidden Dragon? One main character is Malaysian, another from Hong Kong, and the other from Beijing. Beijing dialect is pure Mandarin, the Malay dialect is mixed with a lot of Malaysian words, and people in Hong Kong speak Cantonese. The actor from Hong Kong spoke with a Cantonese Accent. There was a comment that none of them understood what the others were saying.
Another factor is that the same language in different countries will evolve differently. Take simplified characters in China and traditional characters in Taiwan. Plus, china and Taiwan have different histories and historic figures, so idioms based on that will vary greatly and won't be understood by the other
Brian... You don't knownhow much your videos helped us.. My bf is Chinese and I'm Egyptian.. He's learning Arabic and I'm learning Mandarin through you.. We really appreciate your work💚💚

@@imsheepyeye I'm glad you're interested in learning Chinese! However, I know that learning a new language isn't easy, so I have a few questions to ask you. How should I contact you?
Great video! I'm a Turkish-American who grew up in Taiwan (attending regular public elementary school) until the age of 11 at which point I moved to the U.S. My Mandarin is still very good (you likely wouldn't be able to tell that I am not Taiwanese if you speak to me over the phone) but I don't have anyone to speak Chinese with. I'm looking for podcasts and movies/shows to engage with the language without it feeling like a chore, all the app recommendations are really helpful, thanks!
Hello, I am Interested in Taiwanese Mandarine, I heard that its different from Mandarine spoken in China. I am also living Kibris, I know a bit of Turkey

A word of advice: with adverbs which you can quantify, try quantify them. One won't normally say "我現在說得流利". instead, one might say "我現在說得蠻流利的". Other options are e.g. "頗流利", "挺流利", "很流利", "非常流利".
The best video on Mandarin curriculum! Covers all topics, gives you all the resources and more importantly explains how to study for HSK! Question: what is the mobile app you’re using on the video for Anki?
1:31 I'm a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese (Taiwanese). Your pronunciation is 100% correct. The most difficult part of spoken Mandarin Chinese for native speakers of non-tonal languages is, apparently, the tones. According to my observation, 99% of foreigners in Taiwan cannot pronounce the four tones correctly.
Thank you so much for sharing, I would love to learn Taiwanese Mandarin. Are the resources he shared in this video relevant?? Please clarify, because I heard that Chinese Mandarin is different from the one spoken in China
@@wilfredmkhatshwa8195 what do you mean by "Chinese Mandarin is different from the one spoken in China"? As with English, English in one country is different from English in another. They evolve differently because of culture and various other factors. If you're talking about Mandarin spoken in China compared to the dialect spoken in Taiwan, there are similarities but they are completely different. As in China, putonghua (meaning common language) in southern china is quite different in tone from Mandarin spoken in northern china.
Do you want to learn Chinese? I'm a college student and my English is not good so i want to make friends with you . i can tell you many thinks about China
thank you, this is so helpful, I am taking a high school introductory online class and the textbook I am following is so hard to learn from so these are some great tips. Especially the app tips and how you divide the time for HSK1 :)
I started a couple days ago learning Chinese, took me all this time to learn that basically to get Chinese down, memorize the characters and how they sound, and even if you have the Chinese keyboard on your computer or phone, as long as you type the sound, it puts in the characters for you. So it helps to read and type. Writing by hand though...that's a challenge. Anyways, 谢谢！
Love your video . I'm at Hsk 4 level I want to pass hsk5. I live in the US . and my question here is about preply. How to choose the right turtor for me. I want the turtor to lead me to pass Hsk 5 successfully. I found a lot different prices and student . Thank you so much for your video. Love it.
Thank you for the video! It's super helpful! I like Chinese Pod podcasts. They teach you new words and also mention culture related stuff. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is Preply actually. I liked iTalki way way more. Good luck to everyone learning Chinese!! We can do it!! 😅
السلام عليكم I'm Chinese and a Muslim. I especially want to learn Arabic, but I don't know how to learn it. Seeing your comments, I think you should know Arabic. I don't know if you want to learn with me. I can teach you Chinese. You teach me Arabic.
Finally, got this very knowledgable content that is suitable for a beginner like me. thank you very much for sharing this one. Really eager to learn Mandarin and recently just listening to Pimsleur but don't know what to do after. So, new subs here and will definitely follow the steps you mentioned
Hey guys I’m a 24 yr old native English speaker with intermediate Chinese looking for someone to practice speaking conversational Chinese. Very eager to learn and teach English. Anyone interested let me know.
I guess I can be the one you're looking for.I'm a 100% Chinese and of course a native Chinese speaker.I think I'm gonna be a good one to practice Chinese with.And also my English is not very good as you can see, so why not have a try?
10 min for 30 characters per day. For about 50 days, you can recognize and pronouciate the most common Chinese characters. Then 15 min per day for Chinese vocabulary and vernacular grammar for the next 3 months, you should be able to communicate fluently in standard Chinese. You can engage in daily conversations and read/watch the news without any problem. Then, it's 8 hours of heavy study every day in the next 10 years to understand the "real" Chinese.
Interesting video, with some good resources included. I've tried learning Mandarin before, but it was too hard for me and I had to quit. I couldn't even get the basics down.
As a native Mandarin speaker, I strongly recommend Mandarin learners to study standard Mandarin which refered to the mandarin with northern Chinese accent。
Thank you so much for your advice. I'm currently learning English and I'd like to reach at least a B2 or a C1 in this language and after that I'm gonna move to Chinese :3
你好 Super helpful video thank you Brian for uploading and sharing . I watched this your video a few months early but I did go my own way by learning from 3 different books HSK 1 and I got confused and lost . . .I should have followed your advice. . . Now I am only learning from the book HSK 1 Standard Course and I am at lesson 5. I do love the Chinese calligraphy and I can write (with normal ballpoint pen) almost all the Characters of the dialogues from lesson 1 to 3. For my 4 months experience ,if you are a beginner HSK 1 , I would recommend the Brian suggestions on the video as it helps has helped me lot. Happy study 再见
buying workbooks will give you additional practice and often will provide useful information that you will not get elsewhere. well worth the investment if you're serious about getting ahead.

the beautiful way I learn (and I'm improving) english, and, then, in english, I'm learning to speak chinese
1:31 I'm a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese (Taiwanese). Your pronunciation is 100% correct. The most difficult part of spoken Mandarin Chinese for native speakers of non-tonal languages is, apparently, the tones. According to my observation, 99% of foreigners in Taiwan cannot pronounce the four tones correctly.
Thank you so much for sharing, I would love to learn Taiwanese Mandarin. Are the resources he shared in this video relevant?? Please clarify, because I heard that Chinese Mandarin is different from the one spoken in China
@@wilfredmkhatshwa8195 Sorry, I don’t know 🤷♀️
@@wilfredmkhatshwa8195 what do you mean by "Chinese Mandarin is different from the one spoken in China"? As with English, English in one country is different from English in another. They evolve differently because of culture and various other factors. If you're talking about Mandarin spoken in China compared to the dialect spoken in Taiwan, there are similarities but they are completely different. As in China, putonghua (meaning common language) in southern china is quite different in tone from Mandarin spoken in northern china.
Thanks so much for all the tips, this is the best video I've seen so far for learning chinese as a beginniner
Do you want to learn Chinese? I'm a college student and my English is not good so i want to make friends with you . i can tell you many thinks about China
@@夕落映红 yes I do
thank you so much
thank you, this is so helpful, I am taking a high school introductory online class and the textbook I am following is so hard to learn from so these are some great tips. Especially the app tips and how you divide the time for HSK1 :)
شكرا لك براين علي هذا الفيديو الممتع والغني بالمعلومات والمصادر ❤❤❤
I started a couple days ago learning Chinese, took me all this time to learn that basically to get Chinese down, memorize the characters and how they sound, and even if you have the Chinese keyboard on your computer or phone, as long as you type the sound, it puts in the characters for you. So it helps to read and type. Writing by hand though...that's a challenge. Anyways, 谢谢！
I'm learning Mandarin on my own !
Nice!
我也是！！！我觉得太难了但是我喜欢！！！！
加油！
Let's learn together
Are you on Instagram? WhatsApp?
Love your video . I'm at Hsk 4 level I want to pass hsk5. I live in the US .

@@BrianWilesQuizzes I'm the one who should be thanking you... Thank you, Mr. Brian
Thank you for the video! It's super helpful! I like Chinese Pod podcasts. They teach you new words and also mention culture related stuff. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is Preply actually. I liked iTalki way way more. Good luck to everyone learning Chinese!! We can do it!! 😅
الله شكرا ليك كتير بجد 😍😍
كنت مستنيه الفيديو دا من زمان جه فوقته،❤
السلام عليكم
I'm Chinese and a Muslim. I especially want to learn Arabic, but I don't know how to learn it. Seeing your comments, I think you should know Arabic. I don't know if you want to learn with me. I can teach you Chinese. You teach me Arabic.
Finally, got this very knowledgable content that is suitable for a beginner like me. thank you very much for sharing this one. Really eager to learn Mandarin and recently just listening to Pimsleur but don't know what to do after. So, new subs here and will definitely follow the steps you mentioned
Hi,can we learn together?
@@MikeLee-r3n sure. I subscribed to your channel so that I can message you when free time. thank you.
I only started learning Mandarin like a week ago and your newest video is about learning Mandarin. Are you stalking me?
Haha glad to hear you’re learning it!
Yes I am
@@splashmobyhello，im Chinese.
This is an AMAZING resource. Thank you!
Glad you found it useful!
احلا يو تيوبر في مصر براين ❤❤❤❤😂😊
Man, wow, what a well put together and informative video. Thank you.
Hey guys I’m a 24 yr old native English speaker with intermediate Chinese looking for someone to practice speaking conversational Chinese. Very eager to learn and teach English. Anyone interested let me know.
I guess I can be the one you're looking for.I'm a 100% Chinese and of course a native Chinese speaker.I think I'm gonna be a good one to practice Chinese with.And also my English is not very good as you can see, so why not have a try?
@@shelversanslee3732 yeah, I'm very keen! Do you use discord?
Yes yes my name is Rosalindlo@@DefaultDimension
@@DefaultDimension What's yours discord name?

Thank you, Brain. That was really helpful.
Brian, PLEASE make a similar video for learning SPANISH! THANK YOU!! 😊
10 min for 30 characters per day. For about 50 days, you can recognize and pronouciate the most common Chinese characters. Then 15 min per day for Chinese vocabulary and vernacular grammar for the next 3 months, you should be able to communicate fluently in standard Chinese. You can engage in daily conversations and read/watch the news without any problem.
Then, it's 8 hours of heavy study every day in the next 10 years to understand the "real" Chinese.
Interesting video, with some good resources included. I've tried learning Mandarin before, but it was too hard for me and I had to quit. I couldn't even get the basics down.
Learning is different for everyone. It might be helpful if you learned international phonetics first.
如果你是非中文母語者，建議你應該學習「注音」而不是拼音，雖然學習起來比較困難，但它比拼音要精準正確且清楚
胡说八道
注音符号是个要被丢进垃圾堆的东西
This video has been more help than 3 years of on and off Duo lingo thanks man
كل عام وانتم بخير 🌹
🌷رمضان كريم🌷
Amazing Video🎉🎉🎉
Could you make a video about how to learn Turkish?
It might take some time, but I'll see what I can do👍
Hello, what a wonderful video, I might it extremely helpful especially when you don't know where to start.
As a native Mandarin speaker, I strongly recommend Mandarin learners to study standard Mandarin which refered to the mandarin with northern Chinese accent。
why?
Thank you so much for your advice. I'm currently learning English and I'd like to reach at least a B2 or a C1 in this language and after that I'm gonna move to Chinese :3
不错的课程，我学到了很多，我很喜欢

你好
Super helpful video thank you Brian for uploading and sharing . I watched this your video a few months early but I did go my own way by learning from 3 different books HSK 1 and I got confused and lost . . .I should have followed your advice. . . Now I am only learning from the book HSK 1 Standard Course and I am at lesson 5. I do love the Chinese calligraphy and I can write (with normal ballpoint pen) almost all the Characters of the dialogues from lesson 1 to 3.
For my 4 months experience ,if you are a beginner HSK 1 , I would recommend the Brian suggestions on the video as it helps has helped me lot.
Happy study 再见
Great info. Cheers.
Great video, I highly recommend Chinese Pod for beginners
It was a well-executed and informative video. Good work, guys.
Thanks for the recos 💜💜
For the HSK books, do you recommend buying the workbooks with it?
buying workbooks will give you additional practice and often will provide useful information that you will not get elsewhere. well worth the investment if you're serious about getting ahead.
اجمل حاجه فيك انك ذكي وفي كل حاجه موجود . ما شاء الله عليك
