Chinese Podcast #35: Why You Understand Chinese but Can't Speak Fluently? 为什么你能懂中文却不会说？ 

Thank you, the 5 of you are so interesting and humble. It's reassuring to see that many Chinese learners are experiencing the same gap between comprehension and ability to speak.

I'm surprised that you guys are so open about your business' model and industry. Not many youtubers does that. Its refreshing to see that kind of transparency

我的情況是相反的，我會說出自己的想法，但有時候有問題聽出來某人的話，尤其是快速說的

三位大叔 您们好~ 对一个留学生来说 大叔们的频道是一个很珍惜的学习来源！

你们都是在我日常生活中最期待收看的内容，谢谢你们让中文学习者得到无比的乐趣！😃

你们都很棒， 如果有空我平时听你们的视频 谢谢大家❤

Great interview!

watching this again! thank you guys! love the longer interviews.

Spanish and portuguese are the same for a french person. Very close and readable but hard to speak fluently

Great podcast as always Uncles!

Yes very true, learning to listen is much easier but I still cannot speak Mandarin yet. That's because I can't find opportunities or anyone to talk to.

刚看完Dolores那期，现在来看自己的😂

Amazing video, guys!

I can speak a lot, even at times super fast - yet I cannot understand when Chinese people talk. As soon as they start relaxing and talking in their normal style...I get lost...so it is just the other way round....

Although some people can learn by listening and repeating or by trying to speak immediately, others, like me, are used to reading, forming a structure in their head and then putting it into practice, that is writing ans speaking. If I don't intend to travel or work in a Chinese-speaking environment, I don't see why I should focus on speaking from day 1, while the language is a chaotic mess in my head. In Chinese, everything is focussed on speaking, speaking, speaking, tones, speaking, tones, speaking. When I am looking for reading materials, they are either some foreign-based books from the 80s with boring bilingual pages or some really silly texts from generic novels or some old texts that would tire and bore me even in my own language. What I did in the past and helped me acquire some fluency was to print a normal text I would read in my daily life ( not a textbook) and then to learn the structure and vocabulary with a dictionary, to make a questionnaire and try to explain the text to myself. I have abandonned studying for now because of life obligations, but when I start again, I will do the same. It worked much better than classes or apps for me. Also, another thing that makes studying difficult for me is that almost all the learning ressources are made with English speakers in mind, they overexplain concepts that I don't need and they underexplain important concepts that I need. That's all :)

最好的播客就是大叔中文

PeiPei! ❤

内卷是很有意思的字 (6:42)。你们喜欢用这个字但是我觉得翻译不好。翻译是 "inside roll" 或者 “introverted” 但是我听说它的意思也是 “competitive"? 是不是网上发明的字？

some legit bejing accents in there.. "bu er dao..."

视频说明里你们应该写一个链接她们的IG和中文课程。。。

You guys understand Chinese?

William has a Chinese girlfriend. So he has her to thank for his fluency level. Anyone can speak fluent Chinese if their partner is Chinese. But students who dont have that advantage have to work even harder.

哈哈 我是不是说得太快了 抱歉抱歉 😂

English subtitle?
