  • helo it is greetfull words i really lik it

  • 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 !

  • Thanks a lot man I wanted to start learning chineese A while ago, this will start me off!!!;)

  • just what I was looking for to learn Chinese!!! you make it fun! GRACIAS

  • i dont like nei ge's either

  • haha

  • Mandarin sounds so beautiful!

    But that music is terrible! At least turn it off during the show, it's very distracting!

  • Hahaha I like you.

  • i want to learn but this is hard !!!

  • Impossible!

  • I love the Chinese language.

  • You are brilliant.

    Muy bueno!!!

  • WO AI BOBO!!! *_*

  • jackson five = blah

  • 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

  • Haha... that is just how efficient Chinese people are :0)

  • This guys really into what he does

    Respect for him

  • u are good

  • Thank you, very useful.

  • could somebody write the characters for this...

    wo bu is 我不 i guess...

    how is xi huan written?

    謝々

  • I love your lessons benny but i could not concentrate with the music in the back ground it drowns you out

  • Hi Benny , so basicly u can switch around zhe ge and na ge?

  • To the extent that you can switch around this one and that one in English.

  • To Official BYYAHHH..I'm a chink too, and you are a fucking asshole! So kiss my big fat sweet and sour ass!

  • Xie Xie Benny

    Xie Xie. did i say it right. i said thank you

  • wo bu xi huan jigga

  • 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

  • Hi Benny!

    Can I say " Bu yao na ge/zhe ge" as I dont want that one/this one?

  • Yup, that's correct!

  • 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

  • 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 ;-)

  • yao = want

    xiang = would like

    yao is more direct, xiang is more courteous

  • Thanks, I learned these also.

  • ur pronounciation is very good

    thanks a lot for ur help

  • so ''wo (bu) xi huan ni'' = i (dont) like you?

    thanks for the lessons anyway, you make it easy to learn.

  • Zhe ge-This one is very much like

    Korean word "Zho go" which means That one.

    And XieXie for the Chinese lesson~

  • Wo shi huan Benny ! haha..

  • xie xie ni neng xi huan wo!

  • wo xi huan ni de dao jiao ( i think i said that right >_>;)

  • @askbenny

    Wo Xi Huan Xue Xi Pu Tong Hua.. with Benny xD

  • 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.

  • how to say Happy new year in mandarin?

  • xin nian kuai le!

  • 你是好老师可是我不喜欢那个歌!

  • hehe,hao de!

    happy new year~!

  • lol didnt he say he DIDNT like the song? why did you say good?

  • 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.

  • I thougt that the title was because you dont liked the video

  • 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

  • It's really funny and after these lessons you are really able to speak some chinese sentences :D

    Thank you!

  • You are welcome~!

    Have a nice day~!

  • this is fun and helpful. wo xi huan ze ge (:

  • Thank you! Have any question just let me know.

  • 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

  • Bu ke qi!

  • Armed with this knowledge, I am now ready to conquer China!

  • lol

  • I love this teacher Benny.you are so clever.I love your teaching.

  • Xie xie!

  • me too!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • oh and it bothers me when people say na ge its sounds like nigga

  • yeah! Everyone goes through that.. you just get used to it after a while!

  • its true lol

  • lols nice job teaching... speaking chinese is fun

  • 支持~

  • thank you

  • bu ke qi

  • Thank you for your support!

  • Hey, take all of that nonsense somewhere else guys.

  • why do you have to act like an asshole?

  • to make people like you angry

  • I was kidding and I'm not white

  • yay i know chinese ching wau wau hai ya ching cha chun lolz!!!!!!!!!!

  • oh stop it, you're killing me...

  • 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.

  • Thank you for your support!

  • I love it ! it is so helpful ! wo xi huan your videos

  • The only thing I know in mandarin is "Wor bu zi dao" It's pretty effective haha.

  • haha, well that's true, hope you can say "wo zhi dao" soon!

  • you made it seem so easy to understand that sentence... it can't possibly be that easy! XD

  • how do u say askbenny in mandarin

    hahahahhah answer me quick

  • AskBenny! We say it the same!

  • can you make one that says "i dont speak mandarin please play along"

    its a long story
