To clarify the 是不是 structure, all you're doing is attaching 不(verb) to your verb, and when there is an auxiliary verb, it's the auxiliary verb that gets modified, not the main verb. So if the auxiliary verb is 要, it would become 要不要. (Of course, don't forget 有 is an exception and it uses 没 as the negator!)
Aw thanks for dropping by! 😊 Don't rely on just me though because my content is mostly supplement material. You can try an app like Hello Chinese or Lingodeer to get you on a structured learning path! 加油！ (jiā yóu）
"ni3 shì tóng xìng liàn ma?" So I want to visit China after learning Mandarin but I feel like as a gay man there will be some difficulty such as saying the above and being maced or something. Maybe it's better going to Taiwan if I want to use that phrase in person? :p Also I casually watched your videos for a while last year and firstly, thank you for the HelloChinese app. It is so unbelievably helpful. Secondly, your content overall is really amazing so thank you so much for all your hard work!
Where are you hearing that? I’m quite confident in my pronunciation being very standard Mandarin, although in Chinese, the zh and r sound are in fact related and can sound similar.

You are a really, really good teacher! I'm a total novice at Chinese but I'm learning a lot with your videos. Your examples were so funny, too, lol!
You make really good content, don't let any situation bring you down :)
Thank you so much Liz!
The practical difference between the two structures is the complete opposite of what I always thought it was. Good to know!
I am starting learning Chinese from zero and i don't have any special teacher you the one and only

Thank you so much! I hope you'll be able to go to China without any problems, but yes, Taiwan is a bit friendlier towards LGBT
So basically 吗 changes a sentence in Chinese to a question like how the Japanese か changes it to?
In fact, in spoken Chinese, you can achieve exactly the same effect by changing the tone of your voice, without even adding "吗".
I thought 人 was pronounced with an R sound, not a slight Zh sound, is this related to your dialect, or it something in mandarin universally?
