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.
I guess one more common mistakes is 平时，平常，，往往，一般，通常 等等。I guess many students don't understand the difference between these words , could you make a video about " how to say Usually in Chinese . Pleaassss
@@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.
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.❤
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
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!
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! 🙏
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?
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!
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?
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.
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
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.
I had a student in Taiwan say to me "I had a party but the food was only a dot dot" and I said "In English we do not say a dot dot to mean a little bit" and she said "Oh really?"
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.
Great video! That clarified all kinds of things, so thanks so much! In fact, it even had me question the characters in 意思 briefly, because when I lived in Japan, I'd see caution/danger signs at train stations (or, when driving on mountain roads...), and other places with the characters 注意 ( said, "chui") which is apparently nearly a perfect homophone in Chinese with (chu4 yi4). When I'd first seen the 意 in 意思, I was curious as to how the two were related. In the last sentence example, you are missing the word "are" in, "Many cities in China are fun." Still, this lesson was top notch! Thanks again! (also, I'm glad you don't prefer guys that are taller than you, since that means you are judging a potential mate on a largely vein characteristic versus one of value, like goodness or honesty. It is very juvenile to be superficial. Best in finding the right guy, even if it could potentially be me! hahaha Take care!)
I got all of them correct except the rain one. I thought 今天下雨很多 is correct because it sais today it's raining a lot. If I want to say that it rains a lot right now (and not that it rains frequently) how do I do that?
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.
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.

Very True and well said
What is 所有的？
Jessy J it means “all” like you can say 所有的钱 （ all of the money）拼音： suǒ yǒu de qián
@@aysaiahwu2204 but this is equivalent to 都right? The only difference that 都becomes after nun and 所有 before the noun, right?
I personally use 以后（as in English for later） where I should 晚一点 instead. I found real hard to correct this habit
I guess one more common mistakes is 平时，平常，，往往，一般，通常 等等。I guess many students don't understand the difference between these words , could you make a video about " how to say Usually in Chinese . Pleaassss
Thanks for your great idea!
而且为什么这首歌”平凡之路“叫平凡的。应该是普通，对吗？那些区别都也让我有点蒙

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.
luckily i don't have any of these bad habits. Can you make a video about how to use 给，谢谢！
Hilarious and helpful! 视频真好看啊！
老师的影片做的越来越有趣了！字幕太活泼啦XDD
usually we say "视频" instead of "影片", perhaps the people of HK like to say "影片".
I only got 4 correct. And I always hear Chinese people say "wait me a moment", now I know it comes from 等我一会儿
Ah! Yes! That’s Chinese speakers bad habits!

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 .

Dou is similar to "also" in the English.?

5:23 What happened to Chinese being a SVO language??? I'm so confused!
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 will use "dou" before a noun just to annoy my Chinese friend,
