Nice work!

[jaredhawkglade]

Hey can you please send me a video daily? i have really wanted to learn Chinese...

[LearnChineseWithEase]

Nice job! Love how standard her Mandarin is & that both PinYin & characters are present!

[clairemer2006]

@LearnChineseWithEase Thank you

[hujintao3]

There is a university in the United Kingdom called the University of Dundee. It's in Scotland. I would very strongly urge Chinese students who're thinking of coming to the UK to undertake undergrad or postgraduate studies to NOT enrol at the University of Dundee. Many Chinese students at this university have been racially abused (either verbally, and in some cases physically.) Some lecturers at this university are very racist towards Chinese students and the city of Dundee is also VERY racist.

[LearnChineseWithEase]

@hujintao3 That's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that!

I think counting in Chinese is very easy. It took me a while to learn the numbers but once I got it down, everything else was good! :D

[maslowsbabexoxo]

Ne hao, wo jiao april!!

wo xi huan zhong gua :)

Im from north carolina and i learned this today, i can count too, so proud of my self :)

[Samhiuys]

@maslowsbabexoxo

You got the two pinyin wrong.

It's: Ni hao, wo jiao April. Wo xi huan zhong guo.

You write it like this: 你好， 我叫 April! 我喜歡中國。 Keep on learning, you're doing great. You're learning to write in simplified Chinese right?

[beckyp4win]

[samsnowball]

How can you learn chinise without sounding like a girl -.-

[clairemer2006]

@samsnowball Good question! I'll send your question to Bill in Beijing and see what he says.

@samsnowball Good question! I'll send your question to Bill in Beijing and see what he says.

[UnknownFromHeaven]

@samsnowball you are joking, right ?

[samsnowball]

@UnknownFromHeaven no :(

[UnknownFromHeaven]

@samsnowball you can talk mandarin without sounding like a girl...

[dlseth2]

@UnknownFromHeaven It's a linguistic thing... Higher pitchedsounds, notably the first tone, are associated with a feminine voice in western culture, merely because western women often have significantly higher pitched voices.Thus, for a westerner who isn't used to a tonal language, it is natural to associate a tonal language with sounding feminine. The best solution would be to be a girl or get a sex change, so that sounding like a girl is no longer an issue... :P

[UnknownFromHeaven]

@dlseth2 i disagree, a male deep voice will never sound feminine.

i can speak mandarine without sounding like a girl..

i found this argument silly!

[Samhiuys]

@dlseth2

It doesn't sound feminine at all. I'm a native Chinese (actually I speak Cantonese). I can speak fluent Mandarin and I don't sound like a girl. None of my friends do.

[dlseth2]

@Samhiuys I agree with you on that, I just stated that, from the perspective of westerners in general, tonal speech is more often a female characteristic and western males often have a more monotone voice. Just something I noticed after I started to learn mandarin myself and it could explain why some westerners consider Chinese, or tonal languages in general, to be a feminine

[mbshus]

@samsnowball I've heard plenty of men sound masculine when speaking Chinese. Perhaps the person speaking isn't very manly? Be patient, they'll drop some day!

[LearnChineseWithEase]

@samsnowball Think of it as speaking in the exact same way, but lowering the pitch to a comfortable level for yourself. The pattern is the same, but the pitch is lower. (You can take a look at some of the videos by askbenny, but he also has a higher voice than most men).

[S3NNAA]

@samsnowball Its just one of the four tones - / v \ it is the first tone (-) and its just that you have pronounce it with a high voice, it common, everyone does it so you wont sound like a girl lol

[jpaufakoning]

@samsnowball use a low voice and laugh :D

[amandanguyen45]

can I ask you one question chinese and taiwanese is same language right?

[cullenYe]

tai wan belongs to china so the same language lol~~

[navan999]

no. Taiwanese language and Mandarin are separate languages; Taiwanese is derived from Fukien dialect of migrants who arrived from Fukien province several hundred years ago. It's being sucessfully revived in Taiwan at the moment. Mandarin

[Olebruc]

what?? everithing is monosilabic??

[crouchtig]

Kinda, the basic units of Chinese language are characters, and each character is one syllable. But most of what we would call "words" are made up of two characters. E.g. I think of 'Zhongguo' as being one two-syllable word.

[rechengweng]

Yes, you are right. And a more difficult part is the sequence of characters/words leads to different meanings. E.g. 全没来 is far away from 没全来. However, in English, that everybody is not here is almost the same as that not everybody is here.
