While I was learning vocabulary, reading, writing AND grammar in the junior classroom at the same time, this approach to grammer with basic familiarization

with the vocabulary makes it much more clear. xie xie : )

@Vojife Your comment is 2 months old but i'll just reply. yes you can put 人at the back for nationalities. e.g. America=美国， American=美国人，France=法国， French person=法国人，Spain=西班牙， Spanish person=西班牙人

@Vojife ren .only means person

[Vojife]

Hm, help me out here, please.

So, if I get it, "China" is 中国 (Zhōngguó)

And in a past lesson you said "I am not Chinese", where "chinese" was 中国人 (Zhōngguó rén).

Now you say "You can speak Chinese", where "chinese" is 中文 (Zhōngwén).

So 人 changes a country to a nationality and Chinese as the language is 中文?

I know it isn't the topic of this lesson, but I really "need" to know whether I can use 人 for other nationalities as well)

@TenejiNdNaruhina actually i find it very easy to follow. i'm a complete beginner in chinese and not even an english native speaker. still i fully understand that little piece of grammar after watching this video.
