@@vaeal2004 "普通“ is normal, not special, it has connotations of "fact and objective", like 每个人都是普通人（everyone is a normal person); "平凡” also means normal, but "凡” refers the mankind earth comparing with heaven, so 平凡 has the connotation of "not magnificent". "平凡之路“ refers to the life, and it's more about self pursuing inner peace instead of describing the life is just bland and normal.
Haha, reminds me learning Chinese back at the university especially with 同意. Laoshi had us repeat 我同意你的看法/想法 several times. As for 都, it's easy to understand why many students commonly make this mistake because they haven't been introduced with 所有的. They want to say 都人 everyone、都国家 all countries etc. because they've only learned that 都 means "all". However 所有的 isn't taught in Chinese class until much later usually at the intermediate level.
Most of those mistakes are made by native speakers of English language. In my case (native speaker of Italian and Spanish), there are some times I don't commit that mistake, as in Italian we say exactly in the same way, for example: 等我一下。 Some other mistakes are the same or differently. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the video, especially for reminding us of those mistakes we make in our daily life. These mistakes, I do believe, are influenced everyone's native language. We tend to translate literally sentences from our native languages into other languages. Regarding ”我同意你”, some of my Chinese native speakers think that it's wrong. For them, we should say ”我同意你說的話”、ie for them in Chinese we don't agree (or disagree) with people but with what they say or what they do). Thanks, waiting for your comment.
I’ve been following her for several years and she’s come a long way. So natural. She’s always had good material, but her presentation is fantastic now.❤
Haha, this really made me laugh. I have been teaching English to Chinese students for 7 years and I have to really fight not picking up the common mistakes that I hear! Great video, thank you!
Great topic! 请继续谈话这样事情！ “等我几分钟” rather than “给我几分钟” I probably do mostly get right, but almost certainly do make that mistake from time to time. For whatever it’s worth, my (Chinese) wife thinks that “给我几分钟” is probably OK, informally at least, but, yes, agrees that “等我几分钟” is certainly more proper. “我同意你” I probably have gotten wrong in the past, but no more! 谢谢！ 都 before a noun is a mistake I *almost certainly never* make. As with many of these, this clearly comes from word-for-word translation from English, which I rare do. I virtually always go straight from ideas in my brain directly to 中文. That to the point where, sometimes when I’m stumbling to figure out how to say something in 中文, my wife sometimes criticized me for not just saying it in English. I don’t because my brain is in full-on 中文 mode, and if I try to switch my brain to English mode, I often forget what I was talking about!
Yaay, all correct! But 都 is a tricky one. I know how to use it but too often I still forget it, it is not always obvious to me when I'm casually talking
Your student Will..... hahahaha I love it! I JUST started Korean 5 weeks ago and had no intention of starting Chinese yet. But I'm already drawn in....... I went to look up Krock bands to listen so I could listen to the language. Ended up finding music I love anyway. Rolling Quartz and Luli Lee are amazing. 5 weeks in and it has already opened up a new world. Chinese and Japanese are next. After that, Spanish and Italian ought to be easy. I'm from California so I can probably skip ahead.
Good tips! "都“ mistake is super common among my students, too! As a native speaker, I wouldn't say "同意你”. Instead I would say "同意你的看法“ or "同意你的话”. Typically “同意” is followed by an opinion instead of a person, unless I'm mistaken?
These all seem to stem from doing a word by word translation from English, which is generally a bad idea. I don't think I've made any of these mistakes recently, but I definitely make others! Thank you for your videos! 🙏
Love your work Shuo! By the way, can you explain why Jay Chou says "再给我两分钟“ in 最长的电影 ??! Hoping you can explain why he says this, because I'm sure lot of students have heard / studied that song and used some of the learnings in daily life (perhaps incorrectly!)
Thanks for the information, your video its helpful! Anyway, Could you make some video more about the chinese grammer? It's a bit confusing sometimes. Thankyou!
Wonderful lesson. On the last one, there's a subtle difference in English that I'm not sure how to convey in Chinese. In English saying: "All my friends " emphasizes a different common relationship among the subject than "My friends all " The latter matches with the Chinese in emphasizing that they share the predicate, but the former instead emphasizes that they are all members of the group "my friends." Is there a simple way to convey this other emphasis on Chinese or does the dou construction bridge both meanings?
When I taught English in Japan I think I was more likely to end up speaking English like my students than for them to speak English like me 😆 I've barely started studying Chinese so I don't have any habits yet but I'll revisit this video again later.
It was very very useful you r amazing I have a question about the word （等） I am confused about it"s meaning in these sentences : 1_ 等活动结束的时候人肯定很多。 2_ 在乘坐地铁和公共汽车等交通工具时，可以听到 .......... What's the meaning of 等 in each sentence and in general . How it can be used Thanks
Your Chinese of course is infinitely better than mine, and I regret saying this but in English, you need a helping/auxiliary verb: "Many cities in China *are* fun/interesting." not "Many cities in China fun/interesting." for 中国的很多城市有意思。
I love these videos because I started teaching beginning Chinese last year, and there are some instances where I will come across students translating sentences directly, but then have a hard time explaining why their direct translation does not make sense in Chinese like in the instance of 很多 versus 经常/常常. I really like these lessons as refreshers for myself and knowledge I can pass on to my own students. ^o^) We should be learning 都 soon, so I can't wait to see how easily my students will be able to pick it up.
Some mistakes sound totally fine to me haha. 给我一分钟, or 给我一点时间，though not used when asking someone to wait, it’s usually used as a response when you are pushed by others (like being pushed by your boss to finish a task immediately), or making promises (e.g. 给我三天，一定把钱还你）. 最近下雨很多，sounds fine as well. 很多 can also be used to describe frequency. “最近（我）熬夜很多，需要保养下” Though these might be grammatically wrong, they sound fine to native speakers. Maybe in daily conversations, grammar isn’t that important. Native speakers make mistakes as well. Then some common mistakes become accepted by people. That’s how languages evolve. However, if you are taking Chinese tests, follow your teacher’s instructions, haha. After all tests are really different from real life. Like me, got 8 in IELTS, still can’t consider myself a proficient English speaker.
老师，请再给我一分钟 is commonly used when your exam time has ended, but you still has that one question you haven't answered, I found my chinese friends say this too XD
Pardon me. That duì 对 (at 5:30) has 5 uses: adjective, noun, preposition, verb and measure word. Is there a similar word with fewer uses that we can use until our language competency reaches the point where we can intuitively select more "tricky" terms? 谢谢.
I commented on someone's video earlier "这个视频太棒了" and instantly after I posted it I had the feeling it was wrong for some reason. I didn't know why it was wrong but I know one of the Chinese teaching TH-camrs talked about this in a video. So I have been going through your common mistakes videos recently because I had a feeling it was one of yours. If you know what I'm talking about can you please link me the video or explain if and why it it wrong ?
At this point, I'm here for the comedy as much as I am the language content.
God, you are really good .
She's awesome both ways.

Your Chinese of course is infinitely better than mine, and I regret saying this but in English, you need a helping/auxiliary verb: "Many cities in China *are* fun/interesting." not "Many cities in China fun/interesting." for 中国的很多城市有意思。
Now that we are on the topic of correcting people you should say : "a native Chinese teacher living Bangkok, Thailand"
That is what she said.
Very good and funny! 😀
Hi ! At 9:27 , does the sentence mean "Many cities in China are fun ? "
I think the verb is missing in the translation.
Also your videos are amazing.
Right😂
I only got one... dou. that one threw even me for a loop
Hello. Can you make a video about rude words, how to curse and that kind of things? I think it would be funny
9:21 Is there a rule about word order that you can explain? I would have said "很多中国的城市.“ Thank you!

Honestly from a native speaker point of view, 等 to wait or 给 to give, it's the same. I hear ppl say both equally often. 😊
我终于明白了！！！😂 谢谢，你是太厉害了！🙏😊
"太厉害了！/太强了吧？/牛逼！学会了。"that's what native speakers say, we usually don't want that subject.
but in a formal situation, we need subject.
