This video is the best as a musician I know singing is a good way of learning. I like the comparison of the Chinese and Taiwanese tones and having read some of the comments. Those who think this video is long they should look up the meaning of the word practice and patience. Excellent video, I love listening to Chinese speak English.

@MandarinImpossible 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for the comment. I struggled with shortening the video time or not . But later I still decided to make "whole concept" and well prepared long video. I always try to improve my English ability. I hope my English is OK for you all. :-p

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

In my lessons, you can also learn the meaning for each character. All these knowledge are like a foundation that will also help you a lot in the future lessons and make you understand more and more in a very short time. :-)

@TheDravvy 8 лет назад

+Mandarin Impossible Yes, I will keep learning. The detailed way you explain things helps me understand it, rather than just repeating words without knowing the meanings like many others. It is very useful for beginners. I hope you keep going!

Absolutely brilliant lesson, thank you! Love the repetition- the more the better; it helps my foreign ears to hear the nuances! (Also interesting to hear the etymological background.) Thank you so much!

@MandarinImpossible 2 года назад

I am glad this lesson helps you. You are welcome! :-)

@Jowyerv 7 лет назад

in Malaysia, we've been taught to use "星期" for usual, "礼拜" just only limited for Sunday because the worship just only on Sunday. but it's okay to say it on daily conversation.

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

In my videos, they are based on the Mandarin Chinese in China and Taiwan. In China and Taiwan, "礼拜" is not limited for Sunday anymore. That's why people in China and Taiwan also use "礼拜" to say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Thank you that you let me know that in Malaysia people only use " "礼拜" for saying Sunday. It's really nice to know that. Thank you for your information! :-)

@Jowyerv 7 лет назад

you're welcome, by the way, in Malaysia and Singapore we tend to follow the Taiwanese way of speaking (due to most of the TV shows and dramas are from Taiwan) but still writing in simplified Chinese. :)

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

Haha! It's really interesting! In the future, I may ask you how people in Malaysia and Singapore speak Mandarin Chinese. Thank you for all the information! :-)

@Jowyerv 7 лет назад

sure no problem :)

I'm glad you're back! I thought you wouldn't upload more videos ever since your last one. I'm looking forward to your next videos. It'd be great if you could make some lessons about ''chinese verbs'' and ''grammar rules'' :)

@MandarinImpossible 8 лет назад

+Lia Ying Sorry for the long waiting. Last year I was so busy at my work and had no time and mood to make it because too much pressure from my work. I will consider about your suggestion "lessons about ''chinese verbs'' and ''grammar rules". :-) I also hope my next video is coming soon. :-)

Salamat po! Remember to practice more with your Chinese friends even you are just a beginner for Mandarin Chinese language. That will help you a lot to improve your Mandarin Chinese.

@minot6534 6 лет назад

great teacher....this surely takes a lot of time to prepare...thank you.

@MandarinImpossible 6 лет назад

You are welcome! It did took me a lot of time. I am glad you like it! 😀

@nightyew2160 7 лет назад

I appreciate all the repetition in your lesson. However, it might be helpful to break up Chinese videos and Taiwanese videos into two separate ones so those who want to focus on one don't have to be confused by the other. (Those who want to learn both could still watch both videos.) It'd also help those who felt the video was long.

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

Hi! Thank you so much for your suggestion ! I will think about that. Right now I just need more time to make the video after my work. :-p

@mjlow-key5298 6 лет назад

@leohaid 6 лет назад

Hi! I did not get a point, why did you sun,or sky for Sunday. Or do you use this because of holiday?

@MandarinImpossible 6 лет назад

Hi! Long long time ago in China, people used different way to describe each day of the week. Later when the western culture came into China, then people started to give a Chinese name for each day of the week from Monday, Tuesday until Saturday and Sunday. In ancient China, Chinese Christian went to church every week and called that special day in the week as "Worship Day" in Chinese. Day in Chinese is called: " 天" which means "sky" and "day" Or "日" which means "sun" and "day" Therefore, you can also remember it as "Day" for Sunday. And "Day" in Mandarin Chinese is called " 天" and "日". In this video, I explained how was it from by a interesting story.

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

你好, Jaedth. Thank you for the comment. I will think about trying to reduce the repetition parts in my future lessons when it is suitable and possible. For the intermediate level lessons, I will make it with less English explanation in it. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you! :-)

@jadegorre7674 7 лет назад

how to say what day of the week is it?

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

You can say it : 今天星期幾 ( 今天星期几) or 今天是星期幾 (今天是星期几) ? 今天 means "today". 是 means "is". 星期 means "week". 幾 is a question word which means "how many".

@marylouvang1448 5 лет назад

If you teach Chinese Mandarin and Taiwan together. You make person of not completely understand become confuse because you teach two manner at once. Other words, you should put all formal lesson in one video and the informal in an other videos. As well Same to chines Mandarin and Taiwan's. So we can learn one lesson at a time. This way we will get it. I learn your lesson for over 3 years, and i be confuse just like above.

@MandarinImpossible 5 лет назад

Thank you for your feedback and let me know what difficulties you had. So far all my videos listed both traditional and simplified characters. All the traditional characters are listed on the top row , and the simplified characters are listed on the bottom row with the parentheses like this : "(......)". Please focus on the demonstration and the characters in the parentheses if you like to learn the simplified more. The next video have been making and is in progress. Except the coming video and for the future videos, I will have a concern about what you said and try to make the balance between traditional and simplified characters. :-)

@sayasaya4246 7 лет назад

boring class you have to say week name first you took long time

@MandarinImpossible 7 лет назад

你好, Saya Saya :-) I think my lessons are really boring and I agree with that. :-) I spent a lot of time on explaining each meaning of the characters in the phrase meaning "week" in the video because my students can apply them in the other phrases like 星球 which literally means "star ball". Then you can memorize "星球" means "planet". Right now I like to keep this boring way to teach especially for the very basic parts. But after I teach all the basic things I want to teach, the style of the lesson will be changed. Thank you for your feedback and hope one day my videos will become more interesting to you. Good luck! ^^
