PS I have studied Mandarin on and off but will begin to take it more seriously as I will go to China next year. I speak 5 languages (2dead - Irish and Latin). I have dipped into 5 more including Arabic, Thai and Mandarin. Not to forget bits of Sanskrit from Yoga. Mandarin for me is the next goal and your videos are helpful and inspiring. Xie Xie

Very impressive and not just the fact that you speak English really well (something slowly being lost in ‘British’ media). I have seen two of your videos and am very impressed by your discipline and well done graduating as a doctor. You are also staggeringly beautiful looking and I suspect you are a really wonderful person as well.

Spend only 00:37. The answer is gamification and cards (Anki). Need not just memorize a word, but memorize it in context, also use some art (self made one) to make memory grasp firm. Cheers!

Speaking mandarin there are so many words sound sisisi…. It is like you’re whistling, sounds terrible!
Mandarin is a cheap and rudimentary peking dialect. It is a shame that asking all Chinese use it rather Cantonese is a much much better, profound, beautifully sounding language that has been speaking for two thousand five hundred years by Chinese, the guy pushing mandarin is truly an upside down guy ashamed to all Chinese

普通話講話時都是sisisi像在吹口哨，真是一種低級爛語文更無有資格成為宇宙間及月球上所有的眞中國人的共語，它是中國一簡溜無深度的方言
普通話國語是真老土低能的语文及難聽
因你在講國語普通話時:””你那條舌都伸不直不管講話及唱歌都很難聽！ “”
你知道你講國語普通話說什麼是是時時事事實實，十十十十，去去去去，唉呀！好像在""吹口哨“不但不好聽是"！難聽""還有“耳"跟“而“又是同音，這是什麽音？普通話都是假聲虛音，好難聽！普通話十個有八個字是同音, 用這種簡留而沒有深度的語文來成中國國家公語真是中國人的悲哀.
應用高質量語文如粵語 好聽及博大精深，更能再傳五千年，粵語在中國已運用了二千五百年了.
簡體字更是未殺五千年中華文化的凶手是中國人的恥辱，傳統中文字每一個字都是一段故事 字的結構看得出及反影出每個字內的函意及中華文化，傳統， 民生的喜怒衷樂。簡體字就不知像什麼確實是中華民族的悲哀-我淚在心裡流！！你可知""粵語是世界公認最好聽的語言之一，之最"！
國語歌真難聽只知道尖叫聽聽張學友水連天比普通話歌就知道粵語歌好聽太多
聽聽費玉清，周傑倫，周深 娘娘嗆 歌就真難聽
粵語九聲六調，國語普通話四去聲，粵語的音優越一聽便知，所以用普通話為中國的共語是全宇宙中國人的恥辱
國語普通語應該真真正的歸還給粵語，那才是真真正正中國人共同的語文
在美國百份之一百的中國人

Based on your introduction one might extrapolate that you were not exposed to Chinese when you were younger-but your accent would indicate otherwise

The editing is a bit too much, especially in the beginning. Like somehow I have the attention span of a gold fish.
@SMAVroomAnyone from Toronto😂?
@pegahbh8550Ughhh my brain 😭
@colleen-g5i8pGreat hints and advice thanks
@Nick88688Chinese dramas make learning so much easier. After a while, you start picking up words just because you’ve heard them again and again.
@LearnChinesePodcast2011Thank you for this overview on learning Mandarin. I am just starting now and very interested in following up on your recommended resources. You mentioned there are resources for acquiring input but I don't see them attached to this video. Do I need to look elsewhere?
@eugenewong6714I'm burning ask 1 to 4 into my brain as we speak. Y'all can ask for an update in my replies

@FransiscoReyes-dj3kkWow! Thanks for the good advice You packed so much into 13 minutes! I'm planning a vacation in China in about 6 months. Hope I have enough time to grow a tiny Chinese brain!
@Ranbo5Actually, I watch this video for learning English. I am a Mandarin speaker.
@ChengzeBai-x9u汉语普通话发音很标准，字正腔圆。
@Kai_欧阳凯I speak Chinese and I’m looking for a native English speaker who wants to learn Chinese. Let’s do this win-win thing! Hit me up, buddy—I’m super friendly
@紅蛋-e4yIt seems like 90% of the comments here are on your looks or accent, I just wanted to say congratulations on becoming a doctor! That takes a lot of time and effort, especially while learning a language.
@user-gt3qc2oy1hياريت لو بدون اغاني لانو حرام واذكروا الله يذكركم وصلوا على النبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم
@RemazYasser-bz2wfI am in the process of learning Mandarin. This video is super helpful. Thank you very much.
@blessingthebunny721But you look 100% Chinese? Are you not just Chinese? 😅
@SaintOrCinemaI use WeChat conversations with Native Chinese Women. DuoLingo to learn the basics now working on HSK level 9 Chinese Certification
@BooneDrawLost in your beauty
@weird-f6uLearning Chinese feels scattershot and it’s easy to forget vocab after cramming. You could try CoachersOrg for short, guided practice that fits into busy days. Over a few weeks you’ll notice words coming up naturally in conversation and writing.
@ChuckishTongco-p8vI want to learn English. I think the best way is to find a friend for daily oral communication. That is, having a local language environment. The best way for me is to find a friend who wants to learn Chinese. In this way, I can teach him Chinese, and at the same time, he can teach me English.
@China-子云Is there anyone who wanna practice spoken Chinese here? I’m a person who grow up in China and speak native Chinese. And I wanna practice my spoken English too. Maybe we can learn something from each other.Feel free to reach out. 你好，有人想练习中文吗，我可以教你，我也在找我的英语学习对象，希望可以相互学习。
@lushun2078Sooooo gorgeous
@mintmint5686I decided to learn Chinese 15.08.25
Click on and make me remember
why I'm here... lol...🤣well I really want to know that u guys also struggling with study language
@kuchazida3360Is this girl Chinese? She obviously sounds pommy. If you're going to learn Chinese, learn it from a Chinese person, not from someone who has just studied the language.
@Johnfoster7626Muy hermosa por cierto,,,quiero aprender el.chinise,,Para m conseguir la novia.como usted,
@nicolaschun2651耶稣爱你！
约翰福音 3:16-17 神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。因为神差他的儿子降世，不是要定世人的罪，乃是要叫世人因他得救。
Nice to meet you and thank you so much my beautiful girl 👧❤❤❤❤❤
