how to start learning mandarin chinese by Yourself for Free as a complete beginner/newbie🐣

I appreciate your video and channel.

Appreciate for ur lovely video ❤

This video really brings a lot of amazing ways to do selfstudy in learning Chinese language journey.

Girl learning Mandarin is hard. One slight tone difference changes the whole meaning.

I like hello chinese~ they explain grammar too hehe

I wish there were more traditional chinese resources. I really want to read novels in traditional chinese.

How do i go about learning traditional chinese?? If i learnt simplified first would it make it easier?

I've started over twice. Getting ready to start again....

i dunno why youtube read my mind. Today i decided to try a trial Preply less which i paid for. But the lady didn't speak cantonese or english and my mandarin at the moment is basic, i can say, My name is...or I love chilli sauce etc. so it wasn't so great. she had a slide deck introducing how to order food, but i want to learn more conversational daily mandarin. so i think i want to learn the basics myself then pay for classes when i am a bit more proficient

thank you so much,even in English almost like that the literally prounantiation and spelling is only around 2% (syllables, schwa, stressing,linking) terrible

You are a blessing from heaven! I just started learning Chinese and your video is amazing. Thank you very much!!!

Thanks for this video. I appreciate you offering advice on learning Chinese. It seems nearly impossible to learn. When you say "ma ma ma ma", I cannot hear the tones. I had to think really hard to find any distinction in the sounds you are making. I expect teaching my ear to hear the tones will be essential. Thx!

For sure, I'm just the mid video and I now find Chinese quite interesting and mentally much easier.

Ugh, I’m not doing well so far. I’m feeling frustrated bc I can’t get the tones right. They sound right in my head then I my mouth screws them up…like I have a hard enough time trying to speak words in English (first language) where my mouth is constantly fumbling sounds. I think I’d do better if I had an actual coach to tell me if my tones are on point or not, like when I took choir a long azz time ago. 😓

Je suis française et les adultes comme les enfants ont dû mal avec cette langue. La grammaire, l'orthographe sont très complexes. J’ai fait de l’allemand et c’est pire !
J’ai appris un peu le russe et j’apprend aussi le japonais. Heureusement le japonais ressemble beaucoup au chinois pour la grammaire et les Kanji.
Mais je trouve le chinois plus simple à apprendre que le français 😂

Can I ask a few questions please? 😊

Is there any Chinese here? Can we be friends please. I want to test my speaking and understanding 😭🙏🏻

我学英语就挺痛苦的，为什么要有那么多麻烦的时态语态。顺便不推荐学学繁体中文。欢迎来中国大陆

Thank you for your video! I stumbled across your video yesterday because I was looking to learn Mandarin Chinese - just at a low level for now. My 4 year old great-nephew is learning Mandarin Chinese and when he comes to the states to visit, I want to surprise him with just a few things to say. Your video was the perfect find. First off; you are totally adorable, I love your zest for life. You gave me a really good baseline along with the website and podcast recommendations. I see that is not your focused content, but just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated this video.

I love your energy that you carry with you through your videos. It’s easy to feel a sense of clinical doom when I try to find guides. Most of my motivation outside of just truly loving Chinese culture and HISTORY come from people passionate about inspiring the newbies

So very helpful; thank you!

Cool video, except when you used ChatGPT, sorry had to give a dislike
