One small note: Now that the weather was starting to get colder, we experienced actually some pretty polluted air, so it really depends on the weather conditions as well.

كيف فعلتها يا رجل؟؟؟
انأ ايضا فرنسي واتعلم العربية 😅 انها لغة صعبة جدا لكنها جميلة
لا يبدو شكلك مثل الألمان نهائيا
مش قادره اصدق ازاى وصللت للمستوى دا وانت فى تونس والعرب مش بيفهموهم اصلا
Ich studiere in Tübingen bro, hahaha. Ich bin Syrer und möchte dir sagen, dass dein Arabisch sehr gut ist. Waw, Respect!
Danke dir chef!
Okay können wir mal bitte darüber reden wie creepy das ist? Hab deine Videos zu tounsi gesehen. Ich bin halb deutsch/halb tunesierin, möchte auch tunesisch im bourghiba institut lernen, habe auch Verwandte in Tunesien mit denen ich nicht sprechen kann, und keine Ahnung was du in China machst aber da hab ich auch 1,5 Jahre gelebt. 😂 Schau dir gerne mal Nanjing für 2-3 Tage an wenn du schonmal dort bist 😊 Edit: du lernst anscheinend mandarin dort, das kommt dann auch noch auf die Liste ^^
Crazy hahah einfach identischen Lebenslauf😂 Geh auf jedenfall zum Bourguiba Institut!! War eine mega Zeit in Tunesien für mich. Was hast du in China gemacht?
@JonnyInChina 我学习汉语在南京大学! War jedoch leider mitten in Corona wodurch ich leider nicht so viel lernen konnte 😅 aber du wirst ne super Zeit in China haben da bin ich mir sicher, gehe auch im Sommer wieder hin weils mir so sehr gefallen hat :D darf ich mal fragen wie gut du tunesisch konntest bevor du dort angefangen hast zu lernen? War dein Level schon A1 oder hattest du auch nur die basics drauf?😅
@ ah okay interesting! Habe an der uni davor nen hocharabisch kurs gemacht und konnte dann das alphabet und verben konjugieren aber das wars basically. Für tunesisch konnte ich nicht mehr als شنو احوالك und لباس😂
Le plus beau poème que j’ai eu à entendre. Sa m’a touché le cœur 🇹🇳❤️🇵🇸
My mother tongue is Arabic I enjoyed listening to you when you speak Arabic, you're so good at the language, I wish you all the best.
Any scholarship in Uni of Tubingen?
Hi! Thank you for this amazing video! Which books you used on kindle to learn Arabic and do they have Audio so correct yourself when you learnt to read out loud ? Thank you
Jazakallahu khairan
Love your positive attitude, Jonathan. Looks like you didn't have any ideological burden with you which helps. Wish you every success with your Beijing life. As to travel suggestions. There are simply too many good places to visit. You first identify what sort of experience you want, and go along that path. Be it culture, history, modern tech, natural scenery, industrial development, there will always be good choices in front of you in China.
Hello how long does it take to get sdmission letter from them? They say they check the applications after the application period ends? Isnt it a bit late?

You toooo much talking, you sand that how you learn arabic, but you event didnt tell the tips or what did you did aaarrrgggg, si
Wow! 2 weeks and your Chinese is not too bad. 加油!
Thank you! 😃
Imagine. Built over 2000 years ago and it is still standing. Can't wait to see it soon!
加油加油
Hi, there, fellow student! Same with me, I’ve never been to China before and my first Chinese experience is Beijing and Peking University. So far it’s been amazing and I can’t wait to explore more! P.S. I’ll say hi when I see you. 😂
哥们来南方吃好吃的吧,北京好吃的太少了XDD Welcome to China :D
Big ups tho can’t wait to see what’s in store you over the next few months my schnuckelchen👀👀 bis Mai/juni
Dass du ein coco addict wirst hätte ich mir in meinen düstersten Träumen nicht vorstellen können hahahah
HAHAHA
Thank you Jonathan for your informative introduction to student life in China; you are off to a good start; documentaries 's of this quality give this perennial student insight into a fascinating culture and civilisation which has embraced 21st Century digital technology with an awesome rapidity and application.
Glad it was helpful!
Old Chinese... Are not even 1 generation removed from being abject poverty.. Making a dollar a day on a factory floor
脑残
a dollar a day?? 30 dollar a month??? hahaha
What star are you from?
@ what’s so funny they were the generation that managed to save 30% of those wages per month. For 30 years. Investing or making a business with it. While indirectly loaning that money to average Americans making 22 times more than than they did per month Where Americans borrowed that money spent that money and then borrowed to spend some more Now they eat more protein than obese Americans Have you been to America and seen their dinner plate sizes? 👇 Average Chinese national now eats more protein than an American: UN food agency The milestone was reached in 2021, according to United Nations data despite US predictions that it would destroy the planet 18 Jul, 2024 China has surpassed the US in the amount of daily dietary protein available to its population - an important indicator of a modern quality of life, and one that some commentators and politicians in the West thought would be impossible to achieve. According to the latest data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), China overtook the US in 2021, reaching a daily supply of 124.61 grams (4.39oz) of protein per capita SCMP
Nice,keep it coming 😊❤
My observation over the years goes something like this: when foreigners try to speak Putonghua in China, locals almost without exception are eager to assist and communicate. When Chinese, or Asians, are struggling with language in the West, they often get mocked and ridiculed. The abundance of courtesy on one side, and the rather lack of it on the other, is a bit unsettling.
Racism at the heart of it all. My way or the highway.
It is simply arrogant
I‘ve spoken to quite a few asians living in europe and they told me that it was not the case for them. But I am very sorry to hear if people have this experience..
@@JonnyInChina EU is a bit different because English is not native langauge.
A great place to visit and see is Wuxi in Jiangsu Province, west of Shanghai. PS: My surname is Huang xD
Guten Abend! Ich wünsche Ihnen auch ein glückliches Leben in China!
I'm also here just 2 months,kinda feel jealous that you traveled a lot because with our schedule, I barely even have time for myself. Every other thing is the same. I hope your learning gonna be fine 😊
Hey, it may seem as if I travelled a lot but to be honest most of my time I am just studying because Chinese is just so hard. Semester holidays will be great though!
@JonnyInChina haha I see. Also can't wait for the winter holidays.
Second Guilin/Yangshuo for their breathtaking karsts (the rock climbing is fantastic, and the sunrise hike up Xianggong Mountain is worthwhile). Xi'an is incredible and steeped in millennia of history, very worth visiting. But actually, one of my favorite smaller cities to visit was Guiyang. Beautiful mountains and really temperate climate, so a good option to escape the summer heat. Take the opportunity to also go to things like music festivals too! The music scene in China is flourishing.
Interesting perspective! Especially when I myself am a Chinese who used to study and now working abroad, I can relate a lot about how you adapt to a brand new culture. Looking forward to your new content
Can we take a photo??
Trust the process 🤞🤞
Also a Tuebingen University Student here studying Sinology (Chinese) I can really recommend you Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou, Guilin and Yangshuo And definitevely the Yunnan Province which has a four-seasons-all-spring climate (四季如春) with Shangri-La!!, Lijiang with the Blue moon valley and Dali, as well as Chongqing and Chengdu. And if you love Hiking and nature I can recommend you Wuyi Shan and Wuyi National Park.
Thank you for the recommendations!!
Great. I like this video. It is professionaly made and it gave me valuable information about life in China and the Chinese culture. Well done ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, You’re amazing bro! I’m in Egypt now learning Arabic. I’m struggling but this video gave me incentive.
I am a native Arabic speaker, and you are the best Arabic learner I have ever seen who speaks Arabic with such fluency and proficiency.
I am also learning arabic this year, and im very excited. Your story is very motivating tnahk you for sharing!
ولكن العربية ممتعة اللغات الاخرى متشابهة ومملة وكأن العربية هي الفتاة الحسناء 😅❤
انا من الجزائر في القمة أخي اللغة العربية عميقة وجميلة جمعت كل الجمال وعينيك ايضا جميلة 😊❤
Think about it, we learned basic English slowly and non-intesively in school over 5 years in elementary school. With Adult mind, ability and motivation it probably can be done intensively.
واو انت تجيد اللغة احسنت 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
you cant say that you learned arabic in 5 months, cuz you arabic is really weak and its clear that you need to learn alot more. Iam saying this so not people think that you can learn arabic good or perfectly in 5 months, you need years.
Bruderherz bist du Muslim?
As a person tremendously talented with languages , fluent in 4 I don't believe it you look way too arabic for me for just 5 months speaking this level i have approached arabic for a month now I can barely read the entire alphabet, sorry but I don't buy your story 😂😂😂
I explained in the video that I already knew the alphabet and a few vocab before starting but 95% of my knowledge at that point was what I learned in tunisia in those 5 months. You can watch my previous videos of arabic progress after two months as well👍🏾

يجب عليك أن تعلم أن الله عز وجل خلقنا لكي نعبده سبحانه وتعالى, فمن أسلم ووحد الله وعبده ولم يشرك به شيئا ومات على هذا في خالد في الجنة أبدا, أما من مات على الشرك والكفر ولم يسلم فهو خالد مخلد في نار جهنم أبدا لذا يجب عليك أن تدخل في الإسلام وتعبد الله قبل أن تموت وتهلك, واعلم أنه إذا مت فلا رجوع للدنيا مرة أخرى إما جنة وإما نار قال الله الذي فوق العرش سبحانه وتعالى : { حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرۡجِعُونِ (99) لَعَلِّيٓ أَعۡمَلُ صَٰلِحٗا فِيمَا تَرَكۡتُۚ كَلَّآۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَاۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرۡزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ (100) فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ (101) فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ (102) وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ (103) تَلۡفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ (104) أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ (105) قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتۡ عَلَيۡنَا شِقۡوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوۡمٗا ضَآلِّينَ (106) رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡهَا فَإِنۡ عُدۡنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ (107) قَالَ ٱخۡسَـُٔواْ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ (108) إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ (109) فَٱتَّخَذۡتُمُوهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوۡكُمۡ ذِكۡرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنۡهُمۡ تَضۡحَكُونَ (110) إِنِّي جَزَيۡتُهُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ (111) قَٰلَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ (112) قَالُواْ لَبِثۡنَا يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖ فَسۡـَٔلِ ٱلۡعَآدِّينَ (113) قَٰلَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗاۖ لَّوۡ أَنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ (114) أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ عَبَثٗا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ (115) فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ (116) وَمَن يَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرۡهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ (117) وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ وَٱرۡحَمۡ وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ (118) } سورة المؤمنون وقال عز وجل : { إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْ أَحَدِهِم مِّلْءُ الْأَرْضِ ذَهَبًا وَلَوِ افْتَدَىٰ بِهِ ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ (91) } سورة آل عمران وقال سبحانه : { إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ وَأَبۡشِرُواْ بِٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُمۡ تُوعَدُونَ (30) نَحۡنُ أَوۡلِيَآؤُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَا تَشۡتَهِيٓ أَنفُسُكُمۡ وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ (31) نُزُلٗا مِّنۡ غَفُورٖ رَّحِيمٖ (32) وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ قَوۡلٗا مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ (33) } سورة فصلت وقال سبحانه : { إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا سَوۡفَ نُصۡلِيهِمۡ نَارٗا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتۡ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ جُلُودًا غَيۡرَهَا لِيَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمٗا (56) وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ لَّهُمۡ فِيهَآ أَزۡوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞۖ وَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ ظِلّٗا ظَلِيلًا (57) } سورة النساء.
