My mom knows how to speak mandarin, but she's not a good teacher. Benny is!!! Thanks! I'm trying to help this girl at my school..... she only speaks mandarin.
Dear Benny: Thank you so much for showing a "real life" example of what you just taught us. Whenever I've learned a language, I don't remember hearing the sentences we learned in class, in actual life. I kept listening to people talk and talk, just waiting to hear those sentences from class, and I never heard them. I started to think that what we learned was not really "used by real people" and that it was text book stuff. You show us that what you teach is real life talk. Thank you !
wo ye xi huan ni .. hen ke ai ye hao kan ... wahahahha .... hey ... yao shi .. you speak with out stressing the tone .. will people still understand u ????
Great Lessons Benny but the music carrying over into the lesson is very distracting while listening for proper enunciation. And when viewing many lessons back to back the Jackson Five gets old VERY quick. Please keep up the great lessons but drop the music,or keep it to the intro, It really gets in the way of language studies. Thanks Tom THe Groovy Gwei Lao
im not the dude who made this video but im taking chinese as of now in highschool and there is no specific alphabet. there are however tone marks, pinyin (which is how to say a character in like, english sounds) and the charcters which is very difficult. chinese is a lvl 4 language so what it takes people who are taking lvl 1 languages like spanish only a year to learn ( basics ) takes us 4 years. by the end of year one you should have over 200 charcters memorized which is kinda depressing lol
i thought "to want" was xiang. at least that is what they taught us in high school. we would say " Wo bu xiang na ge, wo xiang zhe ge" or does it really matter
Ni Hao, Benny. Wo shi baxi ren. I'm trying to learn chinese. I expect to get it. I found your videos today (april, 17th) and I'm enjoying very much your lessons. Keep on doing it. Xie xie.
I agree, your lessons or fantastic. You should keep the music out of the actual teaching part though.
Really, though if I were you, I would release a professional educational teaching series. You are a wonderful teacher, and your voice is very good for teaching.
Benny you are great! I love learning Chinese with you. But I must say that it is very difficult to hear and concentrate while the music is playing. As a film editor I can say that it is better form to have this particular music as an intro but not while you are actually giving instruction. We love your lessons Benny!
Hi jtownfreefighters, thanks for your suggestion, I will talk to my team to see if we can find an alternative way to swich off the music while I am introducing
Benny, i got a good idea. it's better to rob that shop and tell that lady "ni bu zhi dao jin rong wei ji? wo bu xi huan mei yuan, wo xi huan ren min bi." (don't u know financial crisis? i don't like u.s. dollar, i like renmin bi.)hahahahaha
hey benny i`m taking chinese at school too, and in the bigining it was really hard for me, but now i get it easy, and i saw your videos, and i found they help me to understand more the chinese lenguage, i really like it xie xie, wo shi gelunbiya ren, wo jiào Mauricio.
I like your videos, im taking chinese at my school and your videos are helping me a lot with pronunciation and with recognizing the different tones =]]
yet again i learned something new from this video of yours :) isn't that the bracelet you gave to bobo in "learn chinese:i think you're beautiful" ? haha,i think it is ;D xie xie ni :)zai juan ~JS~
i'm not sure what those marks are called so i'll call them tone markers.
in ZHE GE and NA GE they all have tone markers pointing the same way but how come the GE tone is different in sound from ZHA and NA? same with WO.. some WO (I) sounds different in some sentences. this is what confuses me about chinese.
ni hao benny!..wow..thAnks a lot,it's pretty easy to learn chinese if yoU're the teacher..^^,)and wow again!!!yOu also know how to speak in tagalog..well i'm from the philippines..an it's nice to know that you can speak our language^^,)..xie xie!
Henep ka Sir benny! marunong ka din magtagalog?! nice to know that! sikat ka na talaga! (you are so famous!) Im really interested to learn the mandarin laguage even just the basics. xie xie!
we speak chinese too at home but not mandarin, we use FOKIEN but i also study at chiang kai sheik and phil cultural highschool thats y i also understand mandarin
That's not how Chinese is spoken in either Mandarin or Cantonese you dumb monkey. I can speak Spanish, look, `spywaremegaton es un mono feo mudo porque él es un puerto rican que mejora de justo cerrado para arriba.
At least you could RESPECT the excellent work he does!! could yo do the same with your spanish?... i don't think so... ni siquiera entiendo lo q has escrito en español...
Excellent work? the comment "ching wau wau hai ya ching cha chun" is not Chinese but a mock to the Chinese language. Can you tell me what "ching wau wau hai ya ching cha chun" means? At least the spanish I used does describe something although the grammar is used incorrectly.

I've just started studying myself so I'm unfamiliar with xiang. The one we've used is yao. They could be synonyms, I guess ;-)

cheekySEEKy 3 years ago
They are part of the pinyin and they indicate tones.
1st tone is the flat tone such as huān in xi huan.
2nd tone is the rising tone, indicated as a diagonal mark rising towards the right
3rd tone is the falling/rising such as wǒ
4th tone is the falling tone, such as bù.
