Your courses are the best I have found. Your explanations are clear because you explain literally word by word the meaning of each word in a sentence and this is essential for understanding. Many thanks. Can you please translate this for me : DOES THIS SAME TRAIN GO DIRECTLY FROM SHENZEN TO BEIJING OR SHOULD I CHANGE FOR ANOTHER TRAIN DURING THE COURSE OF THE TRIP ? Thanks
Thank you so much for your work. In german the word flavour is "Geschmack", so you could ask: 1) Haben Sie Marmelade mit einem anderen Geschmack? Do you have jam with a different flavour? However in this situation it is much more natural to ask: 2) Haben Sie (noch) andere Marmeladensorten? Do you have other kinds of jam? Or: 3a) Welche anderen Marmeladensorten haben Sie? What other types of jam do you have? 3b) Welche anderen Marmeladensorten haben Sie (noch)? What other types of jam do you have? 3c) Welche Marmeladensorten haben Sie noch? What other types of jam do you have? That little word "noch" is optional and can be left out. In this context it indicates that you are looking for alternatives, so if you use it like in Sentence 3c) you can drop the word "andere", because it is clear that you are looking for alternatives i.e. different kinds. Unfortunately this doesn't work for sentence 2), because the question word "welche" is not there. So in sentence 2) you can use "noch" or leave it out, but the "noch" can't replace the word "andere". I hope I didn't confuse you, but now you know almost everything about asking for jam in german 😂😂 Have a great day!
I am currently on vacation from work. I had planned to travel to Taiwan during this time but due to Covid 19 I’m not able to travel. In the meantime I’ll keep watching and learning from your videos so by the time I do go to Taiwan I’ll be more proficient and confident. Xie xie.
whenever i see your Topic,my first imoression is always "it will be very difficult" But once you start with your unique easy style and sequence ,you make it very simple and easy to learn and digest Hats off to you Tai xie xie le , wo de laoshi

Thank you for consistently doing these videos. They have truly been a great help with my Mandarin language journey. Do you think you could do a video on a typical bank experience? You may have many other followers interested as well. 谢谢老师！
试吃 taste test, or sample. Same for shì hē. Normally in USA people just ask for samples of anything from food to skin care products. another great lesson thank you.

Thanks for this lesson. May I ask, what phrase do they use in a restaurant to ask if I want 米 or 面 without mentioning those two words (面 and 米) and without saying 你要米饭还是面?
Hi Ms.Katrina a new subscriber here i've found out that your teaching mandarin is so.clear and very organized thank you for these videos it helps me a lot to know more especially in how to use phrases
@@smartmandarinkatrinalee whoa, minds meet from opposite sides of the world... cool! I've been watching a lot of videos about Taiwan recently, and it looks amazing. If I wanted to move there, are there any opportunities for a foreigner?

I hear "kuba ke yi" a lot on tv. From the dialogue, I use context clues and gather it's like begging to do something/asking someone to do something. Is this a type of emphasis on "ke yi" like trying to persuade someone or is this a "cute" way of asking for something? The word sounds like "kuba", but I probably spelled it incorrectly. I often hear it being said, but the subs are written in hanzi with english translation, not pinyin.
Katrina; Please do not insert the POP sound when you have a new sentence or point to make. It is so IRRITATING. I am a trained educator, with a teaching credential in the US and I now teach at a high school in China. I can tell you that there arent many places which recommend that you add a POP sound or ANY sound when the teacher is making a point. Learning remember is about concentration and absorbtion and that POP sound is distraction. When I first started watching your videos I would stop my video to check to see where I had gotten a message, because it seemed to be so loud and so many. It took awhile for me to realize that the POP alert notification sound was within the video. Gee, now is that helping me concentrate and focus or is it distracting?? I know you might think that sound is cute and harmless, or innocuous as we might say, but it is not and there is a reason that it is a NOTIFICATION SOUND--because it is distracting! Moreover, that sound is NOT PLEASANT repeated over and over. Please dont continue using it, as it detracts from your professionalism a lot.
Thank you for your suggestion. But you are the only person who made this suggestion or comment. So I'll ask my students if they feel the same. If most people feel the same way as you do.
@@smartmandarinkatrinalee I understand but I know how people are today and they will try to support you and protect you from any isolated criticism, esp in regard to professionalism. They'd rather make you feel good! Yet also look at other instructional videos. I have watched many for learning Chinese and none I can remember do that. By the way I like your lessons as they mix practical phrases with points on grammar that can be applied in other places also. Helpful.

This lesson is not for biginners !!
The sentences are very hard doesn't suitable for biginner level ...thanks
Thanks for the suggestion. You can watch super easy Mandarin series. It’s for zero level beginners 👍
what is the mandarin of help or you need a help in case of emergency, like you are in accedint situation..thank you
In English you’re asking to sample a product (food or drink) before buying it.
In English you ask "can I try a sample of this?
If 'duome' is how then what is 'zenme'
different how~ :)
Duome is used as in how beautiful you are...how hardworking you are
Zenme is used as in how do you do this?....how do you ...
@@kenlai1066 Hope to clarify my further doubts through you...
@@anupkumar9530 no problem ....anytime
@@kenlai1066 how do we say what happened in mandarin...

in english we just said *FREE TASTE*😀
Than you!
always welcome thankyou also for more free learning videos ❤️❤️❤️
You tube much Hokka liked
But give script Chinese inHOKKA all right slowly speak pronunciation A Hokkaido university college Cheeky Hokka language
妳的 for beginners 我看了都覺得好難。 學中文的人不見得都是智商一百。可以設計一系列「真正」完全不會中文的人，並假設讀者智商只有70。只需要二十句就夠。這樣的難度雖然妳教的很好，但我根本無法請我朋友看。我想看不到一個視頻就放棄了
非常抱歉我的課那麼爛, 你可以做幾個影片教我怎麼教學生嗎? 相信你一定是一位很會教很有經驗的老師, 我願意向您學習!!! 我用看的文字看不懂,你可以做一系列的教學影片直接指導我怎麼做比較好嗎? 我非常期待您的教學影片並且與您討教!! :)
@Retty Hsu 你覺得難是你的英文程度問題吧? 看你的留言應該中文也要加強喔。加油多看視頻，看不到一個視頻就放棄難怪甚麼都看不懂。
