This Factor Determines Your Level of Foreign Language｜Intermediate Chinese Listening Practice 

Love your channel. Would really appreciate if you made more longer videos where you discuss language learning as a topic in general! :)

I never thought to put it in those words!! But it's true, I definitely feel that I fell into that error when I started reading in English and neglected reading in Spanish (my native language). Even though I still think a considerable high level in my native language, it does sometimes lack and it's even more obvious in an academic context!! Thank you very much!! I will undoubtedly give some thought to this topic for a while!

很棒的视频。我正在努力提高我的中文水平，这个视频真是太棒了。谢谢！

谢谢！！ 我刚才发现了你的频道。这个题目很有趣，而且这段视频还有助于我练习听力。

Thank you so much! Your videos are slow enough for foreigners to understand, so they're very useful!

I agree😂with you, I have the same problem in my 母语， 意大利语。但是我很爱读书❤

This is so true. On the other hand, some people are poor at foreign languages because they study it in a wrong way and don't practise enough to get better.

Very enjoyable and fascinating as well. Glad I found you, I’ll be back for more.

我感觉也是，有些人母语都不善言辞，就算把英语学的比说的母语英语还厉害，还是一样不善言辞，这是硬件决定的哈哈

Hi Shenglan, that was an excellent presentation, full of wise observations and very true: what level of expression do you reach in your own native language? how can you expect to excel in a foreign language beyond or even approaching that level. So it's time for some of us foreign students of Chinese to return to and improve on our own language first!

我觉得这段子里的主轴思路本身有点牵强。我想个人能力具有天花板。所以，不光是学习外语还是在母语当中，个人的天生能力都会体现出来。仅此而已。超出这基本道理的解说，我不太认同。就我自己而言，我母语能力平平。中文比英文更加复杂。所以说，母语并非特别突出的我转移到非母语世界里，个人局限将发挥作用。 我受英文教育的条件并非特别好。我因为读书慢，加上中文学习排挤，我所读到英文书籍有限。但是少读书不仅我一个人现象。现代社会里少读书是常态。那么我想说，就像我没有创造足够好肥沃的土壤来培养良好的英文一样，我的中文也一样局限于环境因素的。但是我不会把这些描绘为天花板。无论是英文还是中文，只要我有足够好的师资培养和阅读上付出够多的，我语言技能肯定得以超出现有水平。所以，不存在什么天花板。 就如中文里的某些具有古文色彩的虚词，我明明知道我认识不够。我不是特别聪明使得这些概念没有能够顺其自然付诸于记忆。我的意思是分析能力强的人会自然而然的比我更快地内在化这些东西的。我则需要花时间去分析，才能有望掌握。我太懒了，很多事情没去做。我想说，中文好难学。一个在母语操作做平平的人在中文学习事业里外语学习中需要花功夫。就是那么一个道理。你要说天花板，在人之间会有的。在同等学习效率的学习环境里，我只能达到人家水平的百分之80。另外一个人可能仅能达到我的百分之95不等。但是我三个人各自世界里都有可能突破头顶上天花板。通过努力和良好学习方略可以掌握到比现在更多的东西。

我觉得你想法有道理， 母语天花板很重要。那你觉得到底为什么某些人有语言天赋？在我看来，这种人蛮喜欢表达感觉怎么样，往往觉得别人怎么讲很有意思
