Hey hey, Rita aka Fàn lǎoshī here! It’s happening - I analyzed Laoma Chris’s Chinese, as so many of you have asked for!
On top of his Beijing accent features, I also broke down his video clips and see what all Chinese learners can learn from it or pay more attention to so that you can improve your listening as well as speaking when talking to Chinese natives!
In this video, I covered:
00:00 Northern Slang
01:35 Tough Tones!
03:01 Pause like a Native
04:39 How we REALLY Talk
08:51 The Beijing Accent
10:41 Rookie Mistakes
13:55 Dialect or Putonghua?
15:17 Is his Chinese PERFECT?
And keep this in mind - the point of this video and any other Chinese analysis videos on my channel is never to insult or praise an individual Chinese learner’s current Chinese level, but to help all serious Mandarin learners see how to improve and where to work on.
That’s the best appreciation and help that I can give to all you learners trying to learn this unique language!
Leave your thoughts or any questions about Chinese learning that you have in the comments! They may be answered in my next videos!
Your subscription, like and comment are HUGE support for original content like this video! The more my videos are promoted to Chinese learners by RU-vid algorithm, the more motivated I will be to make content for you all! It means the world to me. 谢谢！
Remember, with Fàn lǎoshī, Chinese makes perfect sense!

Who do you think are the best Chinese speakers out there? Let me know who else's Chinese I should break down next time! And what other mistakes can you find that Chris makes while speaking? Also, remember these videos are never meant to criticize or praise any individual's current or previous Chinese level. It's simply a tool to help you learn and find what mistakes you may make while speaking Chinese yourself! Hope you find it helpful! 😊

Guess I'm your perfect target group, studied Chinese at university (in Europe), lived in TW for 12 years (hence TW accent that Chinese detect in about 2 seconds), married to a TW lady, speak mandarin daily, but not making much progress anymore, more laziness than anything else. It so happens we have the same surname Fan. You are the absolutely perfect teacher for advanced Chinese learners, I didn't think I would ever find someone like you, too perfect: you put your finger so precisely on all the problems of (slightly lazy) advanced speakers, and you're even able to imitate their mistakes, so funny. I feel sorry I just "discovered" you this morning. Your vibes and facial expressions are so much fun and positive, love your style and personality. You have motivated me to once again trying to rectify all my mistakes (as you know: tones, and q, j). I have my work cut out...

@Nikolai508 3 года назад

I'm learning Japanese and something I find interesting is that for both Chinese and Japanese it seems that the learner is encouraged to have a native accent and sound as native as possible. Whereas as someone from the UK, many of us see our accents as part of our identity, culture and as an indicator of where we're from. If a Polish person is living in England we very much expect them to speak with a Polish accent, it would be weird if they spoke with one of the English accents unless they were born here. We don't see accent as being in any way an indication of how skilled they are at speaking English. Their accent is who they are. Just thought it was interesting.

@SupremeDP 2 года назад

@Takahashi Shimo Mo Yeah um, no. Even if you mess up 50% or more of your tones people will understand what you mean. Mark Zuckerberg made his speech with terrible tones, yet it was perfectly understandable. That being said, a thick accent is a barrier for understanding in any language, but inference and context can easily do the bulk of the job without issue. This is probably a cultural thing with how the whole idea with mandarin is to erase the differences between the chinese languages, and in general make everything nice and homogeneous. That being said, let's be honest, all language learners want to be as similar as possible to a native, it's just natural. It happens in english too. And to finish off, this is really just an educational video. I genuinely believe Rita doesn't believe that Chris should work on his accent because of all of his mistakes, and that his chinese is not good enough as is. I mean come on, she has such a strong accent in her english it would be hypocritical to say that. The mistakes exist, and pointing them all out can help learners figure out where they can improve themselves, but there's not such an obsession with perfection as you might think.

@soaringaegis 2 года назад

@@SupremeDP not sure what you were responding to as the comment is gone, and most of your comment seems to make sense, except the claim that 50% of tones screwed up is remotely acceptable, and that Zuckerberg was at all understandable, much less "perfectly". As a native speaker I needed subtitles, his accent was COMPLETE garbage. In tonal languages, the accent is like a third essential part in addition to phonetics. If you don't have it right, it's like you're skipping vowels in a Roman language. There are Chinese dialect accents that are similarly part of identity and comparable to a Polish accent while speaking English. But that's acceptable deviation because you're largely still understandable, barring any super thick accents. You don't get to mess up 50% of vowels and substitute random vowels and still expect to be understandable.

@shokujinki 9 месяцев назад

In fact, Chinese and Japanese (a Very hard truth for Chinese) the "accent" is Very Very VERY important to listen and speak. If you really want to speak with your mother accent you have to find listerners who know how to hear broken Chinese from foreigners. Unlike Portuguese, English and French (languages I have experience with) I don't see any major problems with accent, but in Chinese... It's only possible Understand if you train yours ears to understand this "Chinese tongue of foreigners". You will never hear this truth from Chinese teachers, because it turns off new students, but I have good news, you can handle the Chinese accent, you just need to practice a lot

@Sam-kz9ji 3 года назад

Rita, my question to you is how large is his vocabulary, grasp of complex grammar sentences and ability to communicate on a wide range of subjects without prep. The reason I’m asking this is because I’m under the impression (rightly or wrongly) that some of us Chinese language learners who start speaking early- will naturally have a good practice and ease with “some day to day sentences” but do poorly when it comes to complex reading material and writing at a more advanced levels. As a student of Chinese myself, I often find myself grappling with this question: developing a solid foundation of vocabulary and 语感 versus jumping in quickly and loosing this opportunity further down the track when ‘correction’ will be too hard to contemplate or even achieve -especially when it comes to botched up tones.

@LaomaChris 3 года назад

Hi Sam, lemme take a crack at this. As far as vocabulary goes, I would say that I’m very rarely limited by vocabulary in any topic. I try to consume at least half of the media I take in in Chinese. Though most people may know of me because of my accent/pronunciation, I have spent a crazy amount of time reading and increasing my vocabulary over the years, and I love reading about pretty much any topic. Grammatically I never run into anything I don’t understand, reading articles, linguistics papers, newspapers, etc., but when it comes to writing, I don’t generally challenge myself to write in a very formal register as I generally subscribe to the KISS principle. That being said, I have never read any of the 四大名著 or anything, and I’d probably struggle a bit with things that mix in a lot of Classical Chinese references. Around 2014, I definitely struggled with more “complex” grammar since I mainly just spoke about daily topics, but since then I made a concerted effort to read and write more, and I did write a blog in Chinese for about two years. Hope that helped a bit!

I still keep clear distinctions between "j,q,x, z,c,s and zh, ch, sh", but my word usage become really mixed, especially in the last 3 years.

Hey, having watched the video I'm super curious about something. You mention he pronounced 不管 with a rising tone on 管, but in the context in question, it preceded another third-tone. We're generally told to change a 3rd tone to 2nd tone before another 3rd tone. I realise just from hearing Chinese people speak that this doesn't always hold, for instance in cases of emphasis or at certain phrase boundaries, but I'm not 100% sure what these rules are. Would you be interested in making a video on this topic? Thanks.

@xiaotao9319 2 года назад

你的直觉非常正确！同一个词语在不同的上下文中确实可能使用不同的音调，例如：这（件事情）是一件好事（hǎo shì）means good deed，然而：这个人非常好事（hào shì）means officious，但是大多数情况下一个音调的不正确并不影响理解（因为人会联系上下文推导正确的意思）只是会显示有些奇怪，实际上母语者有时也会说的过快导致音调失误

@30803080308030803081 2 года назад

When I was a beginner, this was super annoying to me. The rule, “change the 3rd tone to a 2nd tone if it’s followed by another 3rd tone” is inherently much too vague. My Chinese teachers and others I asked at the time would not help me. Eventually, I was able to listen to people in detail and gradually get an idea of how to apply this “rule” correctly. I’m still not perfect, but much better than before. I think Chinese teachers and textbooks really should introduce this “rule” to beginners with the warning that it is not simple and will have to be learned over time.

I've always thought Chinese is quite melodious but whenever I hear the tone comparisons between the wrong and correct ways of pronunciation, I've come to realize I have such a hard time identifying the differences. I'm pretty sure it's because I've had little to no exposure to the language that it's hard for me to pick up the differences. Is this what it means to be tone deaf? Lol omg I still find it to be a very beautiful language though, and I hope to have the courage to learn it one day.

Do you know how different is Taiwanese accent compared to mainland Chinese accent? My family is going to move to Taiwan bc of my mom's job and I am trying to learn some mandarin before we go.

@maira3590 3 года назад

It probably depends on where you're going to live. If you're going to be in the city then you're not going to see much of a difference. Most people speak in a standard mandarin accent. But there's also some that have a "hokkien-accent" which basically means as a beginner you might have a slightly harder time understanding because people will pronounce 'sh' as 's' and 'ch' as 'ts' etc. Otherwise, it's the same language, same standard pronunciation, with a few different words and maybe slang.

@12:51 I thought pronouncing beng peng meng feng as bong pong mong fong was a southern thing. Nice to know 北京人 also do it :D As somebody who lives in Taiwan I find your j q x quite softer (sounds a little like z c s) than what I'm used to hearing. Not sure if it's a case of 女國音 or that's just the way it is over there. I've also noticed your ü sounds more "u" than "e" compared to what I hear here. Could it be a southern/northern thing?

@kyleysk 3 года назад

Don't know what you are trying to find out, but her "peng" and "jqx" are perfect. I can assure you that her Mandarin pronunciation is flawless.

@po9397 3 года назад

@@kyleysk Nope. @12:51 she pronounces 朋 (peng) as pong, which isn't considered standard but is something a lot of people do in some parts of China. I bet she pronounces 台風 as taifong and not taifeng, again something you commonly encounter in some areas but nevertheless considered nonstandard. Don't know about "perfect" and "flawless" but as far as standard pronunciation goes her way of pronouncing 朋 is nonstandard.

@kyleysk 3 года назад

@@po9397 That's how Peng should be pronounced in standard Mandarin. The national standard Mandarin of China is based on the accent where I come from (Hebei), and this is how we say Peng. Unless your standard is based on another Chinese speaking country, if you don't pronounce Peng like her, you're wrong.

@kyleysk 3 года назад

@@po9397 You are confused probably because she properly pronounced the sound of the "ng" part which is commonly missed by people with southeast accents who mainly focus on pronouncing the "en" part. It is common for some southeast people to entirely drop the "g" at the end and saying "Peng" just as same as "Pen". However, you should include the "ng" sound just like Rita did in the Putonghua standard.

@po9397 3 года назад

@@kyleysk No. You're completely missing the point. 把朋(peng)念成pong是很普遍的現象尤其在南方。這不代表它是標準發音。 www.zhihu.com/question/20493313/answer/132290466

不管你说 bu guan ni shuo 管 guan is formally 3rd tone. But because 你 ni is also natually 3rd tone, you have to change 管 to 2nd tone. This is common trick that most of foreign Chinese learners can't grasp in daily use.
