    Lots of credit to him for learning so much in a short amount of time. Seems like there are commonalities among successful strategies. However much progress can be made with "self-study," ultimately language needs to be used for communication, so utilizing every opportunity to speak or write with someone else in the language provides opportunities to practice producing coherent sentences and phrases and to be exposed to new words and grammar structures.

    • @oh-noe
      @oh-noe 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      At that point I wouldn’t classify it as studying anymore though. There’s studying, and then there’s real world application. When people talk about self-study I think it’s more about the action of studying by yourself and your own rules rather than spending money to go to school and study there. Of course real world practice is a must, whether it’s by self study or if it’s by a class, but that usually comes after studying. First study the topic then put it to practice

    我从小到大在学校读中文,因为它是我的母语。但我真话说,我在学校时从来没有对华语有很大的兴趣,所以在功课、测验时都会有许多错别字、语病之类的问题。Truth to be told, I was way more in love with English and it became my native language. Chinese became something that I was extremely unconfident to speak or write with. But seeing this man learn it to such proficiency in 1.5 years that surpasses my 10+ years of formal education is the most inspiring thing today. 我听他那么灵活地用华文时、就一直想:他真的,真的非常棒啊!I want to revisit Chinese in my adulthood because of this.

    I have a degree in Japanese studies and took optional Chinese classes during my degree. I was terrible at Chinese😅 but my writing was always complimented by both my Chinese and Japanese teachers. I was writing Japanese all day, but my first Chinese class was all about stroke order. We didn’t learn stroke order as part of my degree. It tremendously helped the quality of my handwriting. On the other hand, we spent a lot of time learning radicals in Japanese class, and that helps me recognise meaning in new vocabulary in Chinese. Yes, because I was so bad in class many years ago, but now I am engaged to a Chinese man who speaks my native language perfectly, so I feel determined to master Chinese too (and maybe his dialect one day?!). So thank you Grace and Will for your precious advice!

    Its so interesting the way Will speaks compared to the Grace speaks. Will speaks so casually with a very Mainland accent. He speaks with a very masculine tone and intonation that blends words together. Whereas Grace is very pronounced in her accents, especially the fourth tone. Its very clearly a Taiwanese accent here too! Amazing to listen to both styles and how they both sound. Will sounds so natural in a 18 months. Amazing!!!!

    For writing I was practicing by writing journals. I've also come to love writing on graphing paper (I use for Japanese and I feel it's made me more aware of how my characters should look.)

    A tip for Will: if you want to improve your writing ability (I’m not talking about writing characters by hand, but writing formal compositions), I suggest broadening your transition vocabulary. For example, phrases such as “as a result”, “in contrast with”, “due to the fact” will make your writing flow together better.

  • @mercury15316
    @mercury15316 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    What an amazing and inspirational video! Thank you so much for both of you! For the question about writing, I would say that the physical act of writing is needed but it's not sufficient. I think knowing how to write characters requires you to know and remember each part. There's two ways to go about it, which can and maybe should be combined: 1) mnemonics and 2) knowing the components. About the components it at least helps me to know what is the pronunciation part and what is the meaning part of a character, as well if it's meaning has changed over time from it's original meaning. Outlier dictionary is excellent for this! It can be purchased in Pleco. The mnemonic part is creating a story or a reason for each component to exist in the character, which you can and mybe should invent yourself based on the meanings of each character component. These tools help you to create a reason for the character to have each part, which helps in remembering how to write them. Finally knowing the stroke order ties all of these together. Good luck and thanks again for an amazing video!

    As someone that has prioritized being able to read and write chinese more so over speaking ive used a mixutre of pure repetition of writing lets say 5-10 characters a day until the point i can write it quickly and then switch over to a blank sheet and writing them again helped the best. Bonus thing i am also doing is writing it in random places so my mind retains the stroke order and i dont really have to think about stroke order. I get to a point with a character where i can write it and picture it in my mind over time. for example the character 爱. visually at first glance with anki i can tell thats love. But after ive written it enough i memorize it like an english letter versus a just a picture. its weird for me to explain my learning method in that sense. i really wanted to rely as little as possible on treating characters as pictures and more like very complex english letters. I will admit though something i struggle with is writing characters in limited spaces like a notebook paper.Trying to fit so much detail in a little space.

    On Improving Writing Skill Of Chinese
    As a student of English department who also has been trying to do so in English, I find the book------Writing Skills With Readings Ninth(or Tenth) Edition-------written by John Langan practical and realistic( if you were to improving writing in Chinese).
    What he proposed is the idea of keeping a journal which helps you to cultivate a habit of wrting. With time, you can write as natural as possible in ENG or CN. This resonates my experience. Because the more you write, the more you'll learn how to write, and it doesn't has to be about a journal. It can be anything you want to spend a solid amount of time writing (and better yet Reading) about.
    (I would recommend reading books in order to understand how others talk in books so you can "know the game")
    At the end of the day though, this takes time. So this really has a lot to do with how much your way of living connects with improving writings in that language.

  • @timwlake
    @timwlake 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    That was a great video! I'm learning on my own as well and I'll definitely look into those resources. I'm strongest in reading and typing followed by writing and then listening and speaking. I need to increase vocabulary and learn how to use the words in context better. Anyway ,I use an app called Chinese Writer. HSK 1 is free, you can get the rest for one payment (I forget how much). I like it because writing pages is boring and I feel like I'm wasting paper. The app lets you build sets of words, I built mine in HSK levels and then practice them until I know them very well. I just like to play the game that it has, where you have to race the clock to write the character. The app isn't perfect and I'm not learning how to write perfect characters but I remember the strokes and stroke order. It has helped me with distinguishing characters too. I also like to practice writing in VR with native Chinese speakers and they're so impressed that I can write. I write more clearly than some of them 😂😂😂

    Ok. I realized I'm doing the same thing for English. But I'm stuck in B1 - B2 level after a year of studying this way. 😢. I thought I would have to do other think for Chinese.... But it is the same approach. The problem is how to get the "elementary level", learn the characters first or focus on listening directly... Great interview by the way!

      I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese language vividly and in a humorous way. I hope somebody can recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. For beginners, Chinese characters may look complicated. But once you learn about 100 basic radicals, most characters become easy.

    Thank you for another great video and interview Grace! Thank you for the tips Will and I was particularly impressed by your focus on building habits. While I have built a habit of receiving input (books, dramas etc), i find my output production still feels like scheduled “work” rather than a natural habit; Im hoping to improve that soon! In regards to Will seeking advice about writing, one thing I do in all my studies is to make sure the language im using/studying is meaningful to me so to practice writing characters I usually write simple journal entries about my day to day life with the characters in already know/want to practice then rewrite them to improve my handwriting. If you’re a person who likes reflective activities such as journal writing, this can definitely become a “habit” to practice your writing 😀 🖊️

    I try to self-study since October, but it's hard for me to actually learn the language. I can do flashcards everyday, but it's as if I knew those words only while Anki is open, because outside of it I can look at the characters I should know and not even recognize them, or struggle terribly with remembering which accent I should use for words. Your conversation encouraged me to not give up, and maybe try different methods of approach. Thanks for the video!

    There isn’t any average person that learns and speaks any foreign language this fast and fluently no matter what learning method is used. He either had to lived in China to really force him to learn the language, he is gifted to learn, he put in 1000% percent of his time that most people cannot give or he has previous study more than 1.5 years

    I have watched three different Chinese language dramas, namely Weixiao Pasta, Taohua Xiaomei and Meile Jiayou! I watched them when they first aired and didn't understand them. (I didn't understand for example why a boy would be angry and the girl crying,) I found them all on TH-cam with English subtitles and I learned new vocabulary by comparing the English subtitles with both the spoken Chinese and the Chinese subtitles that are provided on the official DVDs. I have also learned songs by Cyndi Wang, Jolin Tsai, Rainie Yang, Eva, Coco Lee (RIP), Karen Mok, Vivian Hsu, A-Mei, Penny Tai and Angela Zhang. I learned over a hundred different songs and I sing them all on my TH-cam channel (although my voice is not as loud as I would like). I have watched a lot of videos by you and Shuoshuo and Peggy Lee. Now I understand Chinese so well that when I tell kindergarteners that I don't understand Chinese they know I am lying because I easily can.

I'm here in Taiwan for more than 7years already but just last year when i started having a desired to learn Chinese through songs

    One thing that helps also. Is listening to Chinese tv shows in your sleep. Your brain rewires itself during its rest stages and listening to languages your learning in your sleep will teach your subconscious to learn faster. It's also been proven through studies that doing most of your learning at night before you go to bed makes you better at it the next day. You can use your dream cycles to speak Chinese and see yourself speaking it with others.

    分享一些關於中文寫作的tips,因為中文口語和書面表達還是有些差別,可以訂閱一些中文的雜誌看一看書面表達的文法習慣,中國這邊的話,以前讀中學時候經常讀《讀者》《意林》《青年文摘》之類的雜誌,每篇篇幅比較短小,不會像讀一本厚厚辭典那樣有壓力(對非中文母語者來說),話題也可能涉及社會經濟文化藝術等各個方面,主要是很多動詞名詞or形容詞副詞以及固定搭配,很多都是平時不會講但只有寫作時候才會用的(有點類似於英語中很多源自於法語的複雜長單詞)。新聞通稿裡關於文化和經濟的論述也是一個很好的學習途徑。如果還有興趣的話,可以積累一些四字成語or詩詞歌賦~
