I absolutely LOVE your videos. You’re one of the few Chinese teachers on TH-cam i can understand without English subtitles! I completely agree, more listening and less talking, the only thing i disagree with is Duolingo. I actually really like it as a quick, gamified supplement to learning. I think it’s fun. Pimsleurs i don’t really care for though, it seems outdated. Thanks for all your videos, you’re so good!
I can't express my thanks enough. I feel so confident after watching your video and understanding completely! I've been trying to language exchange recently, and I felt really bad after a couple calls that made me feel like I have absolutely no Chinese. Now, I really understand I need to ask my partners to speak more instead of always trying to get me to speak... it's been quite difficult, because most people aren't taught to learn that way.
So happy to hear that! Yes limit yourself to more important/high frequency words and then slowly progress! Natives won’t know how to limit their words and that could be very overwhelming! Comprehensible Input is the way to go!
I've been studying Chinese for a while, but watching this video is the first time I've been able to understand full Chinese sentences and feel how much I've progressed since I started studying. Truly 很開心！
This has absolutely been true for me as well. Every time I make significant gains in vocabulary or understanding it is always a result of more listening to comprehensible input. Listening to native content is fun, but learning from it is hard because every sentence is whistling past at lightning speed - even if I know most of the words or the grammar it's gone before I can process it. I can learn words from flashcards just fine, but it's the stories I listen to or read that teach me how and when to actually use them.
This was great, thanks. It's the perfect balance between "too simple" and "too difficult", exactly what I've been looking for. You deserve 100x more viewers for your amazing channel, thanks again !
@@comprehensiblechinese I found out about comprehensible intput when I was learning French, and I was looking for Chinese c.i. channels. Many of the channels just go through HSK textbooks. There are some c.i. channels that are good, but yours is just great!
I completely agree! As a beginner learner, I thought that speaking more would be better. But with speaking, you are only limited to the words you know. But with listening, you would understand what other people say and open up plenty of opportunities. Plus listening is a good skill to have in general, not just language learning. That's why I'm learning a lot from your videos. 谢谢你！
This is right at my level!! Yaaay! Your gestures also really help me! Duolingo is repetitive but it's the boring kind. The characters aren't used in novel and interesting ways and there's no message to connect with.
Someone should write a book about this I feel like people have to search all over to understand what the steps are to learn a language, the slow listening really really helps!
Absolutely right. It's just like learning to play the piano (or any musical instrument). Bit by bit you get there, but if you keep repeating the same thing, you'll just get good at repeating the same thing. You won't understand how music works and how to improvise. Drills are useful, as are scales, but they should only make up a fraction of your practise, and it is more efficient focus on them a bit further into your journey. However, drills to get sounds right must happen at the outset. If you don't focus on the quality of the sound for a guitar or string instrument for example, you're digging yourself into a hole full of bad habits that is extremely hard to crawl out off. Been there!
I really appreciate how slow you speak for us. It's so much easier to understand than the crazy fast speed normal Chinese is spoken. I also learned a new phrase, "Xin ku le," today. It's the equivalent of お疲れ様です (otsukaresamadesu) in Japanese, and i didn't know they uad it in Chinese and Korean, too. I always did have a hard time translating that well into English.
I agree with you! This is my 4th language. I have learned so much from you in such a short time. You have also influenced my teaching of Spanish. My problem with Duolingo is that people learn incorrect pronunciation. Unless the person already is very familiar with the language and just wants grammar practice, I don't recomment Duolingo. I listen to TV, music, and stories in Mandarin to increase my listening comprehension and just understanding the sound of the language. You have to listen a lot!!! Thanks for all you do. You are the best!!!
I agree with everything except that when your level is higher you got to learn and listen to things you don't completely understand. Keep making more videos, they really help
Me personally, I have improved a lot by using graded readers, like DuChinese. I think reading is particularily useful, because one can slow down the language to one's liking. Whereas, with audible content, that cannot be done as easily. The natural corollary is that one will always have a much better reading comprehension than listening comprehension, because the reading acts like a crutch. However, I don't think this is a problem, as long as one also practices listening.
I've tried Pimsleur. Improved a bit, but then it also sounded boring to me. Now I watch your videos and create cards with sentences on Anki, that I also study every day. From time to time I also write HSK 1-2 characters. Thank you so much for your videos.
我同意你说的一切。 I hope i was almost correct, i wanted to say i agree with everything you said, especially the part where you said that you feel motivated when you are able to understand everything you listen, like in this video. I love comprehensible input
Great content, thanks a lot for your efforts！I definitely agree on the importance of comprehensible input to acquire a new language. What do you think about speaking faster in high intermediate videos? I think it could really help us intermediate learners to get used more gradually to the native speakers’ speed. It is true that there is already faster intermediate/advanced content out there but often they also make use of more difficult vocabulary…
Hey there, I want my videos to be low intermediate learners(even beginners) friendly. If you are in intermediate level, I think it shouldn't harm to watch some Chinese shows/vlogs.
Laoshi, why some other podcast i can’t really understand but yours are above 90% ? Lol even i already use 2x speed up on your podcast but still understand.🥳 , so now youre my fav!
I completely agree, listening is key ! And it's better if you understand what is said Although I learned english using mostly native level content, but that's incredibly inefficient (I have no idea how I could just watch stuff and understand 5% of it without getting bored at 10yo) But your videos divided in different levels are very efficient and interesting, so thank you lao shi ! I feel like my mandarin is better than my german in 5 months vs 6 years at school 😅
I think Duolingo can still be useful . Not as a main learning resource of course, more like something you do casually every day, like, instead of mindlessly browsing the internet or playing games. The repetitiveness sucks, yes, but only at the beginning, when you didn't discover enough words yet. Once you use it for a few days/a week, it starts to make more sense, because by that time you will probably start to forget some words you've learned earlier. So it kinda works like spaced repetition. And the more you use it, the more words and grammar you learn and the less boring it becomes.
I agree with you for sure and I love DR krashen, but all I'm wondering what if I don't know any single word in that foreign language! This will need more patient to listen for months when you can't grasp or figure out the sentences, tenses and structures. So I think at least we need a little background, is that so ?
I have never tried Duolingo, but i did the first 2.5 lots of pimsleur. I did learn, and the english that is used diminishes as you go on, but it is very boring and it teaches you "pointless" vocabulary (do i really need to know how to say "international department"?). Also it asks you to memorize some very grammatically hard sentences that feel way beyond my ability. There again, it did help in some ways, so who knows...
I think Pimsleur should change the dialogues (I bet some AI is talking anyway) to make it less tedious, and structure better what they ask you to remember. Still, when I managed to pass my very first lesson I felt exhilarated as even that simple dialogue felt like black magic. In any case, despite what they claim, it does NOT teach you to speak, so let's keep expectations low 😂.
Yes I've tried the Duolingo app & I totally agree loashi it's so boring & repetitive I felt like I wasn't learning anything like I was going nowhere fast & you trying to figure out how to say Duolingo haha hen ke ai♥️ I was rooting for you first try (yes)!😀2nd try she's got it!wait..🤨what? Attempt 3 & 4 perfect!🎊 I noticed how it made you lose focus the deep sigh afterwards told it all😄
@@comprehensiblechinese 😆 you got it laoshi as far as English pronunciation goes you said it correctly & now you know how to say it in Chinese so you'll never have to question it again we appreciate you not cutting that part out when trying to say Duolingo because you could've edited it until you said it perfectly in Chinese but you didn't & that's what makes you such an awesome teacher you just kept it as is & showed us that it's ok to make mistakes & don't give up probably wasn't the message you were trying put out at the time but you know what I mean🤣

Hahaha it’s quite interactive and that’s how it amazed me at first because it’s recorded lessons and back then I thought speaking was really important. But the big idea of pimsluer is that they force you to talk a lot(when you are probably not ready) and people might just repeating the wrong sentences again and again without noticing them. And it’s kinda boring, just generic dialogues.

@@comprehensiblechinese When do you think someone is ready to talk a lot? I am no longer sure there is the right time.

It would be cool to have an English translation (maybe just TH-cam subtitles) to make sure we are truly understanding everything. Other than that, awesome video!! Keep it up!
I understand what you mean, but studies show that people learn a lot less when native subtitles are on. Even if you don’t fully understand a word, each time you see it it will make more sense.
There is an addon for Chrome, you can have English, Pinyin and Hanzi shown at the same time, plus dictionary in case you need more. Usually with CI the rule is if you find some material too tough then you need to lower a lever till you are comfortable.

我同意你的看法， 我是36年前俄语和德语专业毕业的，现在我的工作是翻译。我们那时学外语的方法非常传统，班里一直说英文， 我们主要关注语法。我学中文的时候第一次才遇到了这个可理性输入的方法，在我看来，这个方法比被我们大学使用的方式有效很多。关于APP，我一开始用Duolingo学中文。虽然这个APP不是一个很好学习的方法， 但是还有一个非常重要的好处, APP 帮助学生们"尝试”一个语言，他们以后能自己决定他们要不要找到一位老师， 开始认真地学习。但是不管你的学习目的， 我还觉得你最终一定需要找到一个又专业又适合你的老师。这是我的看法 ;-)
