I am a Chinese and I am learning English and Japanese, and everytime when I feel tired, watching this sort of videos gives me motivation :D Keep it up guys （wink wink）
I'm a mandarin speaker.If a friend wants to learn mandarin ,I can help you .It would be better if you could help me with my English.I’m a student.
Speaking Chinese is also a cognitive exercise to the brain. When you speak Chinese you use both parts of the brain. That’s the best reason why you should practice Chinese daily.
The verb "to be" 是 (shi) is not pronounced like "shee". It's pronounced as if it was spelled "shr".
I love the Chinese writing! Every 汉字 tells you a different story, and after a while, it's not that difficult to memorise them.
我爱汉语！
Chinese can look intimidating, what with the tones and the complicated writing system, but it does have pretty simple grammar! And its structure feels more similar to English than a language like Japanese does...
This video is so opportune... I just decided two days ago to learn Mandarin! 😂
I am learning Chinese 😁
I love the writing system of the language because it is super fun like drawing!
And also the characters are very unique 😉
This video really motivates me to learn more about this language.
謝謝你
中文真的是世界上最精彩的语言。因为英文是我的母语，而且在学中文之前我没学过别的语言，所以我觉得中文非常兴奋，很有趣。虽然它激励我学习其他的世界语言，但是还没找到一个比中文好。

Since i have started to learn chinese, i began to love this language , it is so nice , funny, and no so difficult, you need to have endurance and dedication. Thank you very much for this incredible video.
I’ve always wondered how singing works in tonal languages.
Great video too!
No-one has to convince me to learn Chinese. #proudly_Chinese_learner
我已经一年学习汉语了。
I am chinese but I can’t even speak mandarin nor cantonese. I speak english, dutch, indonesian and learning swedish currently.
As usual, I still love each video you upload, and the 9 reasons are my favourites. 😍
I'm not currently learning any language but in my country summer has already arrived (yesterday), and I'm planing to atempt into a new language soon (don't know which, I'm gonna rewatch most of your 9 reasons videos xd).
I'd love to see a 9 reasons to learn Catalan, Occitan and some iberian languages, but only if you feel like making them.

Almost no grammar
Writing is cool brain training, creative and easy to visualize
Its short
İ love it, even more than Russian. But of course nothing is better than Arabic :-)
Because I live in California, my motivation is to learn the top 5 most spoken languages after English in this state which are Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, Korean, and more.
Nice video! I started learning Mandarin with Yoyo Chinese about a year ago and your 9 reasons really made me believe that my choice was the right one! 我会努力学习中文的。我爱中文。
Love your video! Interesting background music makes the video fun to watch! And you are a 汉语通！哈哈. 你一定下了很大的功夫学习汉语，佩服！继续加油，你真棒！
非常感谢你的节目，欢迎大家学习汉语
One more reason is - To read those pop up ads that show up when watching movies :)
I love your videos Lindsay! On your YT channel I always find new motivation to keep on learning languages. Thanks!
Thank you :)
Your video even makes me amazed by the language, and I am a chinese native speaker...
Mandarin Chinese is one of the Asian languages I want to learn along with Vietnamese and Japanese. I've already dabbled in Japanese for a few years now just from all of the Japanese things I am into such as Kimonos, Anime, and Kaiju films
I been Studying Chinese for a while and I'm still having a hard time understanding a Chinese conversation. I need to be more exposed to it.
I am studying Mandarin Chinese. It’s a lifelong challenge and I love it. :)
你好。我是美国人但是会说一点儿普通话。很高兴认识你。谢谢你，Lindsay.
I can speak 🇮🇩🇨🇳🇳🇿🇻🇳🇭🇰🇯🇵🇨🇦
I love these videos! So interesting :)
I was wondering if you could maybe do a video at some point about tips on learning and memorising a new alphabet/writing system? x
Chinese language has no articles, Chinese language has no conjugation to verbs, it is not like western languages, which have articles and we need to conjugate verbs.
I'm thinking of trying to learn it again some time
9 reasons to learn Russian please!!!

Great video. I am thinking of moving to China next year so I want to be intentional about learning the language, especially for international business purposes.
I learned it because I lived in Taiwan and it was difficult to even buy food until I learned a few words...lol
Hey Lindsay.
I love your 9 reasons to study languages 😄 you've convinced me to start studying Indonesian a while ago 😄 but I've got a little request or idea for a new video. Since many languages are not as popular among languages learners as others, it can sometimes be hard to find enough resources for the language you want to study. You probably know this problem😀 I live in Germany and it was really hard to find good material for Indonesian. So I decided to look for English books that teach Indonesian, which was a good decision. But I still haven't really found enough books. If I were interested in learning Welsh for example, there wouldn't be enough material on the Internet and in the book shops as well.
Maybe if you find some time for this you could give us some tips where to find resources and material for the "not so often studied" languages like Welsh or Quechua or whatever. Or other tips on how to study a language effectively without having many different resources to use.
That would be amazing and maybe I'm not the only person who would love that.
Lots of love from Germany, Sina 🌹
谢谢 i am also learning chinese
I think there are 1 million of reason to study mandarin!! I agree totally with you :) I would like to start studying it but i'm so scared. It seems so difficult and i don't know if i can afford it. Greeting from italy
I'm learning it now. The writing is indeed hard to get. But I'm getting the speaking down
My partner and I were just talking this morning about leaning Chinese.
However I forgot that learning mandarin would be way more beneficial to us.
Ive looked at tons of videos for beginners and why we should learn it, but yours has really made me go "Ahhh! I get it!"
How FUN! Were both excited to start our journey to learn mandarin & korean. 5 🌟 "s girl! Great video!♡
Yes ,I am learning Chinese
谢谢
As a Chinese people ,I don't think it's difficult to learn Mandarin , I think the most import about it is 4
tone,you should speak it exactly .
I’m a Chinese speaker, who wants exchange English speaking skills,hands up!
Which is better mandarin or Cantonese?
I like your video
Speaking Swedish as my native language I find the pronounciation somewhat challenging but it is not as hard as I thougt it would be from the beginning
Haha you could have an Episode to talk about Cantonese it'll be great too
Te Reo Māori also doesn't use verb conjugation.
Lmao, we watched this in class with Ms. Wu
Love from India❤❤
How many languages do you know
UR incredibly intelligent! 10Q! I already loved Mandarin, now you've just opened up a whole new approach to it!
Could You Please Do Hawaiian Next? That Would Be Great!
我去学校学习中文。我觉得有点难但是非常好玩。我的中文不好但是也进步了
I have dabbled with the beautiful Chinese language, but the writing system has been a barrier for me up to now. It is a neat writing system, yet it makes reading real literature or newspapers impossible at my level. And that of course keeps my vocabulary limited, which understandably makes reading more difficult... so this is kind of a vicious circle.
As of now, I have found languages with alphabets more approachable, as even the most unfamiliar script repeats itself often in texts and in the worst case hints at the pronunciation. But maybe this changes if one devotes more time to Chinese.
Being a person who likes reading a lot, I feel far away yet from reading anything substantial in Chinese. So what I have is probably a motivation problem because easy Chinese reading material is such an unexplored territory for me that I would not even know what to look forward to at an intermediate level.
I wonder what literary texts Chinese kids read in their first classes, before they have mastered enough characters to freely choose their texts? Or would teachers in their Chinese lessons just read nice texts to them in the beginning, which they would understand, since it is their mother tongue?
Thanks for the motivating videos with the reasons, Lindsay!
رائع
I spent 5 weeks there and want to practice it more with my peers, problem is nobody over met knows any and my friends who do live far away. I really liked your video.
omg im laughing, imma need to teach you chinese haha

I am feel it is important to learn Mandarin. For the reasons you cited. And my brain health. And eating at a Chinese restaurant and I have a Taiwanese new female friend!
Reasons to learn Korean pls❤🇰🇷
Reason Nr 10 : to order your food at the Japanese restaurant in your hometown ( most of them are run by Chinese anyway 😏😜).
Great video. Slight mispronounciations of 是 (shì) and 了 (le) - the vowels here are schwas, like in uh-huh. You can hear them at: ce.linedict.com/dict.html#/cnen/entry/130b5d4b01ac4775a1f203c5daeeabf5 and ce.linedict.com/dict.html#/cnen/entry/3533a0e55d014e0aa254c0aec420c1da
I want to be able to read labels enough to cook without poisoning myself via allergies, and I recently started contracting for a Chinese company. That kicked me into bothering to add it to my study, at least to pick up some basics, and…I'm remembering it more easily and faster than I do Russian. Doesn't seem any harder than Greek, on that front.
I found one app (Pandarow) that includes a record-and-evaluate for pronunciation checks, which is a bit finicky about recording me but seems to do a decent job. I'm also using the Memrise English-to-Mandarin course. Both methods have their strengths and weaknesses. I ideally want the flash card method with everything Memrise does *plus* the audio with the characters (it often shows just pinyin, with the audio only being when it quizzes you on pinyin), so I'm still looking into options. One eventual goal is getting through HSK 1 & 2 on Clozemaster.
Familiarity with the Russian alphabet sure helps with the pinyin, though, and familiarity with Greek alphabet helped with the Russian. I think it's interesting, how details you know about one language can help with another, even if you don't know much.
i was kinda on the fence about starting to learn chinese, but i know it's hard to learn, so i searched for reasons NOT to learn. your video did the job great. thanks
9 reasons to learn Cantonese!
I love Mandarin very much!
Thanks a lot Lindsay Williams, you've really conviced me why should I learn Chinese, I'm already fluent in four languages and I am willing to learn a fifth but quiet confuse which one between German, Arabic, and Chinese?! Could you tell me, what's the difference between Mandarin and Chinese? I really appreciated video, kudos!!!!
These reasons are enough for learning #Chinese.
Thanks @Lindsay
9 reasons to learn Catalan please!! ✌
I wanna learn Chinese so bad. I know many words. But the writing system is so difficult
I am currently learning mandarin!! it is very complicated at first but I really want to learn it 💖💖
If you are learning chinese 我能帮你😀 l am a sudent in china.
Admire your efforts, (here comes the BUT); but the Mandarin verb 'be' is pronounced phonetically, as 'cher.' Just like the older '60's rocker of the same name. Mandarin uis also known as HanYu, or the language of the Han people. Based on the Beijing dialect, the Han represent about 60% of the Chinese ethnicities. Other Chinese speak Mandarin as a second etc language.I had a Chinese neighbour with whom I developed a sort of 'Chinglis' because I couldn't understand his Mandarin, which was his second language. Thank goodness for his 10 year old daughter who used to interpret for us when we were stuck. In other words, second language speakers have an accent, even among Chinese speakers. I knew a person whose first language was Shanfhaiese, but being born in Australia, she told me once that her Shanghai cousins were amused because she spoke her Chinese with an Australian accent. I must admit, I have trouble getting my head around that one.
how about business and trade benefit to communicate
I’ve been learning Japanese for two years. Do you think that will help or hinder me if I start learning Mandarin Chinese?
Knee how ma?
L'année 2012 peut être une occasion bien venue pour compléter les diverses versions en raison du décret de 1912 par lequel, pour la première fois au monde, un ministre de l'éducation nationale, Caj Yuanpei, décida d'inscrire l'espéranto au programme des écoles normales. Même si cette décision ne put être réalisée, en raison de la courte durée de la république de Sun Yatsen, il s'agit là d'un premier pas significatif qui eut une suite.
En 1922 à la Société des Nations, les délégués de l'Afrique du Sud, de la Belgique, du Brésil, du Chili, de la Chine, de la Colombie, d'Haïti, de l'Inde, de l'Italie, du Japon, de la Perse, de la Pologne, de la Roumanie et de la Tchécoslovaquie proposèrent l'espéranto comme langue des échanges diplomatiques, scientifiques et culturels.
Cette proposition fut farouchement rejetée par le gouvernement colonialiste français qui rêvait encore d'une destinée impérialiste pour l'Hexagone, le même qui fit occuper la Ruhr et qui facilita ainsi l'accession d'Hitler au pouvoir.

I love your videos a lot and have been enjoying watching them for a while. However, there is something mentioned in this video which is not 100% accurate. The followings are my perspective as a linguist of East Asian languages.
The Chinese writing system is "morphosyllabic", which is close to what you described as "semanto phonetic". In Chinese, each character indicates an independent meaning, and in most of the situations, they function as morphemes. Meanwhile, each Chinese character is an individual syllable.
Why the seemingly non-phonetic Chinese writing system provides clues about sound is because over 90% of the characters are COMPOUNDS, which means they both have a semantic radical “部首” and a phonetic element “声旁”. The pictograms, logograms, and ideograms mentioned in the video only account for a very small proportion (less than 10%) of the writing system. A lot of pictograms, logograms, and ideograms don't indicate sounds. It is better to add semantic-phonetic COMPOUNDS to your description of the writing system because they are "mainstream".
Like your channel, looking forward to watching new videos!
You've confused a significant amount of terminology in your comment. When talking about the morphosyllabic aspect of Chinese, one is talking about the representation of meaning through morphemes. In the case of Mandarin, most morphemes are composed of a single syllable. The term morphosyllabic has nothing to do with the term phono-semantic. They refer to two completely different things.
When referring to the structure of characters, one can call them phono-semantic. Which means that one component represents sound and the other meaning. That is one type of character structure. Other types include pictogram and ideogram which represent a tiny amount of characters in the modern script. Nonetheless, all characters are logograms, which means that characters are used to represent words. The term logogram has nothing to do with character structure. Furthermore, just because a character is a compound, doesn't mean that it is of the phono-semantic type.
