I learned it as "Ni hao wo jian Ying Ying (my chinese name). Wo shi di wu nian ji de xiao xue shung." In English that is "Hello. My name is Ying Ying. I am in 5th grade."

[Zaphenath4]

CAnt you see his picture on the videos. And its most likely hes Chinese anyway even if there are no pictures.

[dj98fm]

ni hao benny!

xie xie by posting those videos, but just one thing...

how do i say portugal, instead shanghai in this sentence:

wo chu sheng zài Shanghai.

The towns and countries names still the same right?

[askbenny]

portugal is"pu tao ya" in Chinese.

Sometimes it is translated by the pronounciation.

[zim5656]

Hey Benny what do you think the easiet way to learn mandrin. Thank you!!!

[askbenny]

Learning Mandarin with Benny!

Haha,Have you ever been to my website?

[kaizokumaru]

Benny is a typical shanghai guy. 'coz i've found that most of guys there cannot pronounce 'ng'as well. like here, CHU SHENG, they say it like CHU SHEN. no offense

[askbenny]

Interesting! how do you know that?

[kaizokumaru]

hehe, 'coz i come from peking. as i know, most of shanghai guys like this. i always tease them about this small peoblem. never mind, cheers, mate.

[crazyhanyu]

Confusing the -n and ng finals is fairly common in southern Mandarin. I always remember a lot of Shanghai Mandarin speakers pronounce 来 lái to sound like léi - at least older speakers tend to. Perhaps that's no longer common among younger speakers. What do you think, Benny?

[kaizokumaru]

ma3 lai2 xi1 ya4 = mainland

ma3 lai2 xi1 ya3 = taiwan

[samrat1092]

chauni ma

[rangeralanna24]

really helpful!

thankyou so much benny! lol.

[askbenny]

You're welcome! rangeralanna24. My pleasure.

[sarra247]

:S how can I say it ....^^ ?

[askbenny]

Emirate? in Mandarin, it's "qiu chang".

United Arab Emirates is "a la bo lian he qiu chang guo", but we use abbreviation: "a lian qiu".

[sarra247]

how can I say Emirate ?

Emirate is U.A.E >> united Arab Emirates

wo shi ...... ren ?

[askbenny]

Ni hao! My Emirate friend.

Wo shi a lian qiu ren = I'm from U.A.E

[dyensen]

I've always wanted to learn how to speak Mandarin. Now, thanks to your vids, I have that opportunity. Thanks a lot Benny! ^_^

[askbenny]

It would be great! :)

[scottv]

Cool videos Benny! They are very helpful in learning basic useful sentences and learning the structure while I am new. Keep it up! 谢谢你！

[askbenny]

Thank you very much, will check your profile:)

[PolyglotNZ]

你好！ 我有一个问题： 你说"I was born in Shanghai" 是 "我出生在上海"，可是我觉得 "我在上海出生了" 是比较好的翻译。这两句话哪里不同？意思一样吗？你可能可以给我­解释一下，因为普通话不是我的母语。

[askbenny]

你好，我在出生在上海强调的是"地点"，我在上海出生了强调的是­"出生"这个动作。我们很少会说"我在上海出生了"。

谢谢你

[askbenny]
