[Onlaisneen25]

Peggy, 請問, [看書]跟[閱讀]一樣的意思嗎?Thx!

[tkg2902]

Peggy, Thanks for the quick and really easy lessons! Ive been to Taiwan three times before with my wife to visit the family, but never got much beyond, "Ni hao ma?" or Wo xi huan pijiu, and the ever popular, xie xie. This year I decided to do something about it and found your lessons. Everbody thought it was so neat to see a Yank that actually knows a little Mandarin. And what I didnt know, I got lots of help with : ) Taipei rocks!

[checagou1340]

After this fab video, I'll be back to learn some basics. I have a friend in ShenZhen from when I was an English moderator on Alibaba. I English-named his daughter "Orly". You can also see a video I made for an originally mostly Chinese audience, youTube "professor carl vowels"... I have an MA in linguistics, and through that prism I see your lessons as as good as they get.

[sadunlap]

The hand movements to illustrate the tones are very helpful. I also notice that you do them from right to left so that the viewer will see them moving from left to right. 很聪明.

[dorissayyadeth]

我有很多爱好。我喜欢游泳，看电影，看电视，长卡拉ok，也跳舞­。我也喜欢睡觉！

[CoenHee]

[lukethewall]

Chinese is the easiest language in the world!

[kalliskivike]

@lukethewall i think its the hardest even China letters are sooo hard >.<

[infotechsailor]

@lukethewall joking...?

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@infotechsailor What's the most difficult language to learn in the world?

[infotechsailor]

@PeggyTeachesChinese for me right now... learning to read mandarin. I wish all written chinese switched to pinyin ! but at the same time i think written chinese is a beautiful ancient language so in a way I'm glad its still in use... I just don't like it right now .

[Skadeedah]

@lukethewall I'm inclined to say it's English but I'm strangely biased..! :-P

[CherryTom09]

[MrMerolu1]

Muchas gracias por el aporte que estas haciendo para quienes estamos aprendiendo tu idioma :)

[ralphzoontjens]

Hey, great lessons. I was wondering if this is Mandarin Chinese, since what you teach is a little different sometimes from what I get on Rosetta stone. For example, is there a difference between 'zi xing che' and 'jiao ta che' for bike?

wo xi huan ping chang zuo huà.

[TormentedCurse]

@ralphzoontjens

Basically, zi xing che (自行车) and jiao ta che (脚踏车) are same. In Malaysia, jiao ta che is the most common word for bike eve though we are taught to say zi xing che in school.

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@TormentedCurse Ni hao, thank you for sharing your response! :) In Taiwan, 腳踏車 jiao3ta4che1 is more common than 自行車 zi4xing2che1 too!

[todebejar]

Your lessons are fabulous :-)) There´s no choice but learn chinese then. Xie Xie



[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@todebejar Thank you. How nice of you to say that! ;) I hope my lessons help you with your Mandarin.

[shahr12an]

peggy ! love your lessons !! izan from malaysia

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@shahr12an Thank you for watching~~~ "Ni hao!" from Taiwan! ;)

[JenniferIsCoolBeanz]

I like to sleep

lol

[JenniferIsCoolBeanz]

@DrMMHMD how do you type like that

[isakrief]

Great videos, thanks! Is there any way for you to actually write the tones over the words rather than numbers?

[FearMyWaffles]

hen hao, xiexie!

[galvanchristian]

you are the prettiest chinise girl I have ever seen!!

[robinsupergenius1]

wo pingchang xi huan yue4du2 can dian!

[fraysherkrane]

GREAT video, peggy. You've got a great personality for teaching!

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@fraysherkrane Thank you! Please share the video for more people to learn Chinese. ;)

[Annemiepje4ever]

xie xie ni! it'sr eally helpfull

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@Annemiepje4ever Thank you for watching!

[mmeshmesh]

hey

It's an amazing video but I had a question

what dialect do you speak?

I guess you said wo si instead of wo shi!

[CanaldoPier]

Hi Peggy I'm Pier again! I thanks for internet cause now, in Brazil is it possible learn mandarin in an easy way!

look what I'm just learned: Peggy hen3 piao4liang4 !

good luck!

[c1c2vb3]

我也平常喜欢旅游

[ivyscar]

@c1c2vb3 should that be 我平常也喜欢旅游?

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@ivyscar yes.

[wiroajw]

Cool!!!!

[StriderChipp]

I was taught differently.

ni3 shuo1 shen3 me5 .

wo3 de zhong1 guo2 ren2 shuo1 peng2 you3 shen2 me5.

Is this Taiwanese dialect?

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@StriderChipp It is "shen2me" in standard Mandarin but in spoken Mandarin in Taiwan, people tend to pronounce "shen3me5" instead "shen2me5". It's the regional difference in Mandarin language, not a dialect though. :)

[pilimen2005]

good

[MrZaicon]

你是台湾人吗？

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@MrZaicon 當然囉! 不像嗎?

[MrZaicon]

@PeggyTeachesChinese

我是德国人。。。认识很多的台湾人 :P 但是我现在主在中国。我听见了你是台湾人啊！！

[240kankan]

@MrZaicon 你的中文听力不错，其实台湾口音和大陆口音差别不大。

[buffdiggy]

[godce317]

[gamapg]

[gamapg]

@PeggyTeachesChinese 多谢老师， 因为我的汉语马马虎虎，可是我是半课中国人所以我应该学我的国家­的话。

[godce317]

@gamapg %……半个吧  半裸 ⊙﹏⊙b汗

[jinfenguk]

骑脚踏车 normally in textbooks and Chinese people from China will call this 骑自行车

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@jinfenguk Yep. We tend to use 腳踏車 in Taiwan Mandarin. :)

[purehermit]

very lively, thanks Peggy, can you do one class on vegetarian terms ? People like us that don´t eat meat, eggs or dairy, how can we tell people in Chinese? thanks so much for your happy classes, far from the boring mp3 tutorials. Best wishes

estefano

[worldtravel101]

peggy you were really rockin to that music! =)

[missfanning]

u are so cheerful ! haha

[XiaolongSimatong]

我注意到台湾人和大陆人的说法不都一样。比如：我的中国朋友几乎­都说[做饭]，不是（做菜）。我很想去台湾，继续学习汉语，因为­对台湾人有点儿好奇。我知道这个句子会听起来很奇怪，但我喜欢看­你的视频，也喜欢评论视频，因为我在中国住了差不多四个月。我想­念我的朋友，也很想看会讲汉语的人，因为我住的城市没有很多会说­普通话的人.,所以看会说汉语人的视频时候，我就很高兴。any­way keep up the good work and hope you don't mind the many comments ^^

[graciagirl]

Haha, I read Metamorphasis in school last week! :D

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

thank you so much! you are a great teacher :)

[purohiti]

xie xie peggy!!! wo xi huan lu you. ni xi huan kan dianshi?

[stopglobalswarming]

Does it help to think of the characters as bar codes?

[stopglobalswarming]

What are the numbers for? Do they correspond to international computer keyboard commands for accent marks?

[timcthefilmguy]

@stopglobalswarming They represent the tones which she is also representing with her hand motions. She has a video that explains it.

[mbfreshmike]

This girl is freaggin Gorgeous

[maiermiao]

uh...it is "shi", not "si".

I know many Taiwanese and Singaporean pronounce "shi" as "si". However, the right promunciation should be "shi" by curling your tongue.

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@maiermiao Yep! :)

[yizn74]

@maiermiao Cantonese also do this.

[RowShell93]

wo qi chuang qi dian wu fen. wo xihuan shui jiao. ???

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@RowShell93 dui a. ni ne?

[drpoxy]

Many thanks for this. I particularly appreciate the hand movements that correlate with the tones.

Xie Xie.

[ferguswatt05]

[speed6mazda]

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@cakeandcookies97 zhen de ma? ni hui zuo shenme cai? :P

[cakeandcookies97]

[larry691980]

@PeggyTeachesChinese

are u currently a chinese teacher ? I am taiwanese and currently teaching chinese in midde high school in the usa,,ur video is very interesting and wonderful,,it will be very helpful for me to teach chinese here,,hope to share more ideas of how to teach chinese more efficiently with you,,

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@larry691980 Thank you so much! I feel so flattered to receive a compliment from a professionally trained teacher. I am now in my junior year in a university in Taiwan. :)

[KissVirgin09]

xie xie! I just figured out what the numbers meant too, which is helpful cause I can't find the pinyin on the computer C: wo3 bu4 xi3huan1 pa3o bu4! x3

[tboneplayer8]

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

I'm learning Japanese. Everyone says the grammar is difficult but I haven't reached the complex grammar stage. :)
