Her apartment looks like mine, not many books on shelves, not expensive furniture, a mixture but she dresses nicely. I bought or my uncle did for me & I paid him back at time, many of my clothes from sample sales in NYC but they are in Los Angeles now too. Happy New Year Peggy! Sincerely, Jason

Ni Hao! It's so nice of you to teach Mandarin for free. Currently, I can only understand Hokkien, & my Mandarin is very poor. This is soo very helpful! I'm really lovin' this that's why I am now a subscriber. Thank you so much, Peggy. By the way, your English is impressive I'm guessing you lived or studied in the States? You're very talented & also very pretty & hot! :) Cheers!

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@hybridtigershark Thank you for your comment and subscription~ I hope you also like the other 90 videos! Please help share the video. Xiexie. :)

[lunovintoys]

why u need 2 bargain wit urself? just give it to yourself

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@lunovintoys haha. that's true. thanks for watching! 

[sonicxisforever]

I think these videos are helpful, because I get to learn different expressions that the ones I already know, so I will get used to hearing different ones. Thank you!!!!

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@sonicxisforever Thank you for watching! I am grateful for your comment. :*)

[sonicxisforever]

From the book I am learning from there are phrases like:

便宜点儿的（object ）- (object) that is a little cheaper

小点儿的 (object) - (object) that is a little smaller

Do the people in Taiwan use different phrases?

[xiaotiemo]

ni hao, wo juede ni zuihao laoshi, hen xihuan nide banfa

jia you!!

P.S. ni tai keai

[moonbaby1962]

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@moonbaby1962 Thank you very much for watching! :*)

[glazierEd]

I cant concentrate on learning mandarin for some reason. I just keep zoning out for some reason.

[jjlwis]

wow sis, thanks so much... im learning SO much!!!

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@jjlwis Glad to hear you are learning Mandarin from my videos. Thank you for watching! ;)

[getalifein]

Hi Peggy

Thanks for the vid. But, if 450 = si4bai3wu3 then what is 405 ?

[Bandolero8000]

wow, Peggy is 很漂亮 !

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@Bandolero8000 謝謝你唷~~~ 請幫我宣傳我的影片!

[Bandolero8000]

[S4maNedy]

[midorihelenie]

thanks so much for your vids peggy. I am taiwanese but i live in canada, your videos really help me to learn many useful chinese sayings : )

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@midorihelenie That's awesome! Thank you for watching! :)

[chica476]

Excuse me, but do the numerals represent the tone? Thanks.

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@chica476 Yes, they do. If you are unfamiliar with the tones in Chinese, please watch the lesson "Basic Chinese , How to Say Hello in Chinese , Chinese Tones" Thank you for watching! :)

[lukecavill]

peggy!- its about time someone taught chinese in an energetic fun way. Your video is 5 stars and a big thumbs up. 你较中文教的很棒！

[durty1calhoun]

This is why I take my Mandarin lessons from an old Chinese lady where I live. I don't have the urge to check her out and not pay attention!

[KemikoLee]

好啊 算你500 哈哈哈哈 

[SanJudasTV]

what does the shopkeeper say at the end ? "谢谢，谢谢光临“？

[jinseokjin]

Thanks for this cool video. Recently I am studying chinese and your video is really helpful.

[SinhaleseForever]

awww this is so cool ..xie xie ..LOL

[cherbaby18]

Thanks so much for the helpful video. I appreciate all of your hard work. :]]

[Jefugo]

你太酷!!! XD

[BarsonWells]

Good video. You don't really need a language to bargain in Asia because they use a calculator. What you do is point at the thing you want, the trader punches in the price in the calculator, you gasp, step back in shock and mutter "Jesus H. Christ" under your breath, then move in and punch in a price half the trader's initial offer. Then you go from there. In China you have to also check all the banknotes for fakes.

[lovedavdubs]

This video is especially helpful for me. I love going to the night markets but I'm sure the vendors see me coming from a mile away. "here's comes the American guy who doesn't know how to ask for a bargain" XD They're going to be disappointed now. lol! Thanks Peggy.

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@lovedavdubs Yay! You go, lovedavdubs!

[lovedavdubs]

[scrapbook11]

I'm glad you are using simple (previous) words along with the new ones. It gives me a chance to review and learn at the same time.

[buffdiggy]

Looking good in your bargain dress.

[eror151]

ive just startet looking at your videos and all reddy i feel chinese but can u teace for example that girl over there is pretty? just so i can say to my friends when i see a beoutiful girl.

[AfricanLionsHunter]

Do you speak exacly Mandarin or is there a Taiwanese accent in your words?

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@AfricanLionsHunter As far as I have studied from my linguistics class, the development of Taiwan Mandarin is inevitably influenced by Taiwanese due to the large population of Taiwanese speakers here. In addition, it is another element that makes Taiwan Mandarin different from Beijing Mandarin. Yet we should not allow ourselves to label either of them as the so called "standard Mandarin". :)

[worldtravel101]

@PeggyTeachesChinese ive a friend from BJ. she has seend your videos as ive asked about this same topic. she says she understands you no problem. people from different regions will often have different accents in speech, but it should not be a big deal. same with us americans. we have many accents within our country, but its all english and ive never had any serious problem trying to understand someones speech just because of where they are from. great video peggy! 886

[ilovemommy2]

What editing program do you use?

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@ilovemommy2 That question goes to FirstZoom.tv They helped me with this video. You can link to their channel at the end of the video. :)

[CatGameDaiyE]

So I've heard a rule from another source, when two 3rd tone words are put together, like 'ni3 hao3' the first word is pronounced 2nd tone. I'm curious about te4jia4, are there any other rules like the two 3rd tones rule??

[TahmNong]

Hahahaa I love the ending, I have had that happen to some foreign friends of mine in Thailand before hahaa~

Useful lesson, thanks again!

[saiyouken]

street negotiation is an art.

[AkoSiAlexPo]

Haha! The end was really funny. "500." "I'll take it!" Haha! Anyways, great lesson.

[rancidx3]

Is there more than one way to write 400 in chinese characters? Your "hundred" looks different than what I'm normally used to. Is it a typo or are both acceptable

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@rancidx3 The word "hundred" could be written as in 佰 or 百

[geminielf7]

Can I bargain for your love Peggy?

lol

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@geminielf7 auction sale?! :D

[redraiders2K9]

Yeah, in the United States, a price on a good or service may vary by day/week/month, but in retail stores (at least around the Wisconsin area), the price that is marked is final unless a coupon is used or there is a defect in the product. But there is always exceptions of course (for example: people who hold To summaraize, I write too much about useless stuff on youtube and this is a fine example lol.

[nate91han]

When do people say 阿弥陀佛! in conversation? My teacher is having us learn it but I don't see where it's useful.

[Xieerqi]

Peggy， 你殺價了一件好漂亮的禮服

And thanks for teaching us this useful topic!

[DumbDuck44]

great video, but lets be real, we will always pay "bai ren qian".=p

chinese buddy bought awesome flops for $4, so I ask where he bought em, go to the same store and bastard lao ban won't part with em for less than $10 as his "special price" for me. >:|

[kcmetroflagfootball]

Peggy, will u marry me?

[Nathanielotaku]

@kcmetroflagfootball I am sure people ask her that almost every video lol

[TheBermuda]

Thank you! These lessons are really helpful, although sometimes I think you go too quickly. There don't seem to be too many natural pauses. But otherwise, your lessons are great.:)

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@TheBermuda I try to over enunciate each word when I teach. But I am a pretty fast speaker in real life, it's hard to quit. I forget I am teaching sometimes. :P

[TheBermuda]

@PeggyTeachesChinese It's okay! Watching your videos has improved my pronunciation a lot, so thanks. :)

[yasumi07]

The dress is cute. It looks nicely with the head band.

[yasumi07]

si bai wu - I would guess it is 405, not 450. You don't say si bai wu shi?

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@yasumi07 It should be 450: si4bai3 wu3shi2 but colloquially, si4bai3 wu3(four hundred frive) is acceptable. 405 would be si4bai3 ling2 wu3 but si4 ling2 wu3(four zero five) in colloquialism. :)

[worldtravel101]

@PeggyTeachesChinese the ending was very funny xixi. peggy your vids are the best because you put so much work into them. many teachers online are boring. but you make learning fun :)

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@worldtravel101 xie xie ni! You are as sweet as a peach! :*)

[aZnchuux3]

whats the difference between "this" and "that" in mandarin?(the meaning) :]

[psychghost]

谢谢 for this video,

im planning going ｔｏ　vacation next year to 中国, Ｉ ｔｈｉｎｋ　ｉ　ｈａｖｅ　ｔｏ　ｓｔｕｄｙ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｔｏｏ　ｍｕｃｈ　：）．

[samphilomath]

Finally! :)

Learn how to bargains in Mandarin is a most. Thanks

[coolsteven2]

Most important lesson of your life when you go to China :D. 我喜歡殺價，抱歉在美國裡不可以 :(. 你的連衣裙好漂亮 ：D。

[PeggyTeachesChinese]

@coolsteven2 Seriously? You don't bargain at all in the US?

[coolsteven2]

@PeggyTeachesChinese Nope. If that's the price you can take it or leave it :/.
