Thank you. I recently started renting a home from a man who speaks Mandarin, very little English. Communication is key and I appreciate those of you that are willing to help the rest of us learn the #1 spoken language in the world. ❤️
love the casual way of teaching Mandarin, the tone is indeed a super tricky part in Chinese Mandarin study process. Especially the third tone and I always tell my students to make effort to nod the head and lift the head again when pronouncing the third tone lol Thanks for spreading beautiful Chinese language to the world and inspiration. I'm inspired to make Chinese teaching vids to contribute too
I'm trying to learn Chinese because I'm currently into Cdrama..and I would love to watch it and understand it even when there are no subtitles available.
Thanks for your videos, finally i found the best mandarin lesson that is suitable for me.. Been here in taiwan for 6 years. But I still can't talk fluently and sometimes i don't understand what other people trying to say . I'm studying chinese using youtube, but they are all from mainland . And thanks again.. and i will start here.. 😊😊😊
This video is a big help for me as a beginner in learning Chinese. My boyfriend is Taiwanese but he and he's family speaks Chinese and I'm a native English speaker. I encounter language barrier when I talk to his family specially to his mom she can't speak English. By subscribing your video's I will not be left behind when his mom talk to me some simple sentences like asking or telling something. Please make more videos like this. I like your teaching skills QQ.
I just came back from Hong Kong, and it inspired me to learn Mandarin and I’m so excited to get started. This video definitely gave me some tips! Xie Xie!
I’ve watched 3 of your videos and have committed several phrases to memory already. You teach in a very relaxed and familiar way through how a natural conversation would take place. Thank you for sharing, you are an excellent teacher! -from South Carolina
I've started a Chinese Course because I put a goal in my 55 years old life, that I would learn the very first level, and now I am following your lessons too, and are extremly easy and simple. Well done. Regards from Italy.
I’m so thankful for your teaching! I’ve always wanted a native teacher 👩🏫 from Taiwan!! I’m interested in Chinese classical writings which required knowledge of Traditional mandarin 👍
Wow, this was excellent for a first time beginner! May be the pace is a little bit fast at times though, it would help to slow down a little bit. But I really like the way you continually revise and summarize what is being taught, it is a great way to learn.
I admire your approach! I have recommended you to a young friend ( 16 yr old 中國被收養人) who is anxious to learn her native tongue. I am a former USAF Chinese linguist (73 yr old) and I, too, enjoy keeping current. Many thanks for your efforts.
This has helped me so much, thank you. I use duolingo and other platforms to learn Chinese but I still have a hard time trying to pronounce certain sounds and this has been really helpful. One of the sounds I struggled with was 人 but you covered that in the video. Another one I am struggling with is 鱼。
I love this video but I'm struggling with "ren". 😅 Should the first letter sound closer to an English "r" or a "j"? I know it's not either one but sometimes it sounds different to me depending who says it.
Very good teaching technique! I was very surprised that one can make real Chinese phrases with the basic vocabulary that is taught at the beginning of the video. Please continue making videos like this one. Thank you!
@@muhamadrajali4280 yup. Thanks. Masalahnya saya tinggal di Swedia sekarang..dan sulit mencari kursus Bahasa mandarin , jadi saya belajar otodidak saja.
@@yuukiasuna1383 mungkin saya bisa membantu kamu. Saya di Malang sedang belajar pendidikan Bahasa Mandarin. Mungkin kakak bisa @mr_mhd_rajali. Saya bisa bantu. Tenang.. Gratis kok. Jangan takut wkwkwk. Sama-sama orang indo. Saya ingin bantu..
Hi great class I like you method of breaking down the words in parts I am a travel agent I love diffrent cultures if the world. I hope to some day visit China but first I feel it would help to learn some Chinese. But hearing people speak sounded very difficult. But after I watched your video you made it easier and in about 20 mins I was able to say some small starter words like I'm very hungry in the content of a sentence. To me that's very encouraging! Thank you I will continue to view more . 😉👌
Thank you so much for this video. My husband is from Taiwan and we've been married for 24 years until now I can't speak mandarin. He was frustrated teaching me and I was too. This video is easy to understand. Thank you.
I've been married to a Kenyan for 17 years and still don't know Swahili. I'm trying to learn that and Chinese because I started playing basketball with some Chinese speakers. I really like the approach of this video, teaching the mechanics of the language.
I thought learning Mandarin would be impossible, as I’m elderly, and looking at the characters of Mandarin, with their intricate construction, completely too difficult. This format is working for me, as the repetition, plus demonstration of the ‘tone’, (low, to high, and bouncing) was a huge help! Thank you sincerely!
This video is just the right length for learning at coffee break. I like the simplicity and clarity of your lesson. And choice of words: it describes how I feel most days: busy, hungry and tired. lol
Thanks alot teacher!!!🙏❤I am working here in Malaysia so many Chinese friendly people and I'm happy to learn basic Mandarin from you.🙏Hope I could straightly speak after one month.😆😆😆🙏😘😘😘
@@smartmandarinkatrinalee aah, I had no idea, thanks for clarification. I started learning Cantonese but quickly realized that the people in brooklyn, most of them do not know Cantonese so I lost my passion for learning. When I started realizing some of them speak Mandarin it pushed me to learn it.
Maam thank you for this vedio it can help me to learn mandarin, because I'm almost 4 yrs working here in Taiwan but until now it seems not good to me to speak Chinese mandarin.And my Taiwanese workmates they want me to learn Chinese language but time is not enough at work, and can't easy to memorize it.
This is awesome! I need to learn more traditional mandarin. My husband is Taiwanese but we normally talk in english. I still need to learn mandarin and this video helps . This is my very first time learning traditional mandarin 😁. My husband is always teaching me the 4 sounds or the 4 tones but I'm really having a hard time. So I guess I also really need to learn from the basics from watching video tutorials :) thanks a lot. 🌹 xoxo

Hi. I have two years coming to Guangzhou China for business and really I was not interested to learn Chinese because I was thinking Chinese is Complicated, but I see your video and I like it. I understand I don't need since the beginning learns all the vocabulary and all the way to write Chinese. I understand you, the best methodology is to start as a small person, first listening and repeating the basic words and then increase the vocabulary, and later learn to write the Chinese words. I already subscribe and I will do my effort to learn Chinese. Xie Xie.

Of course you are a very good teacher
Good but doubt if I will remember the words!!
This is an excellent video. I love the teaching strategy she uses. Better than all if the other videos I have seen!

Plz also give pronunciation in written
For Example:-
●Pinyin xiē xiē
Pronunciation shyeh shyeh
Character 谢谢
