I've said this in another video but I'll say it again: This IS the way to learn languages. Pretend you don't know any other languages -- babies don't have a first language to translate into either! What do you do when you don't understand something in a language you speak? You don't panic and say you "can't speak the language" or that you need subtitles/translations! You move on until you understand it or you investigate in the language. I'm so happy I got this recommended. I'm tired of learning from textbooks (they're all horrible) so I have not picked up any new languages, but I've been wanting to learn Chinese for a long time. I know nothing, which is the perfect place to start (apart from being able to read a lot because of Japanese). Thank you! :)
This is so great for beginners, It’s free to learn and easy to understand no matter what you don’t have any knowledge about Chinese language. Thanks a lot!
I’ve been learning Chinese for three months . I’ve been all over the place not really retaining or learning much .. this gives me a solid place to start over with a better foundation … body parts .
I have always wanted to learn Chinese. My great grandfather was Chinese. And you have a magnificent history and culture. I hope that I can learn this beautiful language.
Thank you so much, coach. This is a very refreshing approach to learning Chinese. Your channel stood out to me from all of the channels I recently have been watching to learn Chinese.
Thank you for your kind words, Kairu! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my channel and I hope it continues to be helpful for you in your Chinese language learning. If you have any question, let me know.
ive been learning Chinese with a a tutor mom brought for two weeks, all i know is pinyin and few words which i keep forgetting and have some difficulty in it, i came across ur video and watched it once… and i found ur method helpful, it helped me and inspired me so much, i wish all teachers learn from you, please never stop doing these video and keep it up, my hope of being fluent in chinese has came back!! THANK YOUUUU AGAIN SOOO SOOOO MUCH
I never imagined that I would learn Chinese. It wasn't something I had planned for, but by pure chance, I came across your video. I ended up watching it until the very end and something changed inside me. I felt inspired to embark on this journey of learning Chinese, and I couldn't think of a better teacher than you. I am grateful for the opportunity to become your student. Thank you so much for creating such amazing content, and please continue doing the wonderful work that you do.❤
Wow, that's really high praise. I am also inspired by your comment. I'm going to keep doing goodcontent so that anyone who wants to learn Chinese can learn it painlessly like a native speaker.
Definitely adding this to my curriculum! I have found Chinese really isn't as hard as i thought. I still don't know much but I've been watching so many videos I've already started recognizing sounds. Japanese has been my main target language, but i may move Chinese to the top lol
Japanese is one of the fastest languages in the world. After experiencing listening training in Japanese, you will find it much easier to practice understanding Chinese.
After diving through English as my 1st target language none has told to start by using -comprehensible input- I learned from my own mistakes and I won’t let this happen, I’ll fix my inputs first by watching your videos and thank you from your time & efforts * btw it’s my first day heading to learn Mandarin Chinese

Having pinyin makes it easier for learners, especially for native speakers of a phonetic language. But this ease will only stay at the beginning stage, and it will become more and more difficult later on, which is why many people eventually give up learning Chinese. Because learning Chinese with pinyin is not in line with the natural rules of Chinese. The goal of Wei's course is to help learners learn Chinese the way native speakers do, so no pinyin subtitles can be given at the beginning stage. Pinyin is not the real Chinese language. In China people only use Pinyin when they type Chinese characters on their phones and computers, and when you start learning Chinese characters you will feel like you are learning two languages. My friend, now that you can listen and speak quite a bit of Chinese, it's time to consider moving away from pinyin.
Hello! I'm delighted to find your lessons and I'm commited to follow this natural method. I've been studying on my own for three years and I really need to do something intelligent about it otherwise the feeling of being stuck could be very depressing at times. I'll never give up though. So thank you for your channel. You will definitely have a lot of success with such a truthful endevour.
Most of the difficulties and bottlenecks in Chinese learning are caused by the wrong learning sequence. If you can get back to the normal track, the difficulties will disappear. Let me know if you encounter some difficulties in the future, maybe I can help you think about how to solve them.
@@chinesewei You are amazing...! What can I say, I feel really touched! Thank you so much for your words. I am definitly backtracking to your listening method. Oddly enough it has already changed my earning skills a little bit in a few days. When I listen to other content it feels different and I don't feel the need to look at the subtitles as much. I don't understand much more but it seems more normal. Now I know that I have to get used to listen a lot without looking and the meaning, regularely. I get that that's the natural process. I trust my brain and now i trust you as well. 感谢您的帮助!
My interest in chinese sparked when I was watching a cdrama, I've searched for many tutorials online, scribbled some characters but have no direction. But after I stumbled into your channel I finally see hope, Thank you so much for making this valuable content available!
I think that this is a good strategy. One problem: your sound quality has an echoing sound making it more difficult to hear exactly what you are saying.
I just found this channel after looking at a lot of pinyin videos, feeling overwhelmed. But the approach seems great and I will use your videos from now on!
I have had tired to learn Chinese in the past so I know few words I found it interesting that how "er duo" was similar to the English word ear back than I came to know a new word "bo zi" is similar to a word used by people of Gujarat "bochi" both meaning neck
Although humans are distributed in different parts of the world, they are secretly connected in some way. Why is the pronunciation of "mother" similar in many languages? It's hard to explain.
@@chinesewei yeah in Hindi mami means mother though it's pronunciation is close to mum-mi but ma is also used for the same and I have learnt that it's 妈妈 "mama" in Mandarin I am also learning Japanese, whenever I find some similarities among different languages and my mother tongue it intrigues me
If you must learn grammar, it will have to be after you finish the intermediate content. Grammar is the basic logic of the language. When you finish the intermediate content, you already have a lot of Chinese language material in your head, and that's when you can understand the logic of Chinese faster and better. Actually, as native speakers, we do not learn grammar. I used to think that as a non-native speaker, learning Chinese grammar would be helpful for the exam. Later, I read about the HSK test and found that if the test taker has enough Chinese input, he or she can pass the test without learning grammar at all. I have a WeChat group of Chinese teachers who are all native speakers. We often discuss in it the grammar knowledge in some Chinese textbooks, and those grammars are really too difficult for native speakers. I don't know what the point of their existence is.
Thank you so much, coach 🤍🤍 I have a question, how would I know if my pronunciation is correct? I'm doing something I don't know if it's correct . I pronounce the word in google, and if it appears , I considered my pronunciation correct. So there is any other way to check my pronunciation????
There are two ways. One is to find a Chinese person to listen to your pronunciation. The second is that you can use the Chinese language input method to input Chinese on your mobile phone. If there is no major problem with your pronunciation, the input method can accurately recognize what you say Chinese. But I don't think you need to do this. When my daughter was three years old, she had a lot of mispronunciation. I tried to correct her, but it didn't work. Later, after reading a lot of linguistic research materials, I discovered that my correction didn't work because she couldn't hear the difference between her own pronunciation and the correct pronunciation. As she got older and she listened to more Chinese, those mispronunciations of hers gradually disappeared. Instead of trying so hard to know whether your pronunciation is correct, you should focus on listening, your pronunciation will naturally improve, and the wrong pronunciation will gradually disappear.
hmm... no matter how much I love the chinese language, chinese culture and chinese philosophy I think you are wrong on couple of points 2:50 word is not the smallest unit but the letter, whereas latin alphabet is composed of 26 letters, chinese radicals are composed of 214 symbols... not to mention the order in which they can form a character and the speed is not conclusive 1:19 "Chinese is spoken at half the speed of English" = 9 words, 中文的语速是英文的一半 = 11 characters... I'm sorry but I just can't pronounce 11 hanzi faster than 9 english words😁 anyway I will keep trying! nevertheless, good teaching lessons😉
Letters are the smallest unit, but letters have no meaning. The smallest unit with meaning is the word, isn't it? But every Chinese character has meanings, and even every component of a Chinese character has a complete meaning. So letters can only be equated to the strokes of Chinese characters.You can watch my newly released videos on 300 elemental Chinese characters. These videos have detailed explanations of the composition of Chinese characters.😀th-cam.com/play/PLVm_2mAUtlPGBASS0jsnimA_oE9uWTJ-9.html
Agree, the letter has no meaning until it is combined into words. Hanzi as a single character already has a meaning. Thank you for your explanation Sir
Great, let's promote Chinese together. Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures. Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help remember them. I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
I've said this in another video but I'll say it again: This IS the way to learn languages. Pretend you don't know any other languages -- babies don't have a first language to translate into either! What do you do when you don't understand something in a language you speak? You don't panic and say you "can't speak the language" or that you need subtitles/translations!

Thank you so much for your efforts. I’ll certainly do my homework. 😊
I REALLY love the way you teach, naturally and organically, as babies learn languages, the best way to learn. Thanks you teacher.
This is so great for beginners, It’s free to learn and easy to understand no matter what you don’t have any knowledge about Chinese language. Thanks a lot!
Yes，We don't have to rely on translation to learn a foreign language.
谢谢老师！我在学习中文两个月了，我的中文现在不太好。我住在苏格兰的格拉斯哥 🏴 thank you for this course the material is fantastic!
After only two months of learning you can write these Chinese words, you're pretty good.
I’ve been learning Chinese for three months . I’ve been all over the place not really retaining or learning much .. this gives me a solid place to start over with a better foundation … body parts .
I have always wanted to learn Chinese. My great grandfather was Chinese. And you have a magnificent history and culture. I hope that I can learn this beautiful language.
We have a magnificent history and culture. You can learn the language of your ancestors.
Thank you so much, coach. This is a very refreshing approach to learning Chinese. Your channel stood out to me from all of the channels I recently have been watching to learn Chinese.
Thank you for your kind words, Kairu! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my channel and I hope it continues to be helpful for you in your Chinese language learning. If you have any question, let me know.

我爱你的教。谢谢你！:)
老魏教练好，我自学中文已经学了5年多了，但也是从拼音开始的。虽然我的发音不错，学到的词汇和汉字也不少，可是听力不够好，有时连简单的句子都说不出。我觉得就是因为基础学不好。再说，我根本有点内向，一开始都不敢开口说话，好在现在好起来了。我感觉你这个意思很有道理，期待跟你提高我的汉语水平！非常感谢你的视频 :)
看得出来，你的中文不错，你可以多看不带翻译的中文电视剧，对提高听力很有帮助，在看电视剧的时候如果遇到一些喜欢的台词写下来，写在一个笔记本上，每天朗读笔记本上的句子。这样即使你和人交流不多，你的口语也能有效提高。
@@chinesewei 好啊谢谢，我会这样做的！
