This is such a great story, full of good language points. … At 3:45 we have 亲身父母. I think this means something like "personal parents", so I guess it's okay. But my computer says this should be 亲生父母 ("biological parents").

Listen to the dialogue in Chinese first and see how much you are able to understand before going through the explanation of the keywords after each video. So, get ready to improve your Chinese while having fun with the holiday cheer. 😃

Great video ! Lots of fun, lots of good language points. 谢谢老师。🙂

请你帮我送她回家 Although 帮我 literally means "help me", it usually cannot be translated that way, because "help me" means that I am doing it and you are assisting me. But 帮我 usually means that only you are doing it, so this is the same as 替我 and we would say "for me". Or we could say "help me out by (doing something for me)". So, the above sentence could be : "Please help me out by taking her home" In this context, we don't actually need help, so we would more naturally say : "Please be good enough to take her home for me"

你做的菜可好吃了 = "is your cooking ever good" This kind of 可 can usually be expressed as "ever" in a rhetorical question. 这双鞋子可贵了 = "are these shoes ever expensive"

For 整数一百美金 we would say "an even one hundred dollars" or "a round one hundred dollars". This means that fractional or small parts have been ignored. We would not say "exactly one hundred dollars" because we are not talking about precision.

I think that 要好的朋友 means "good friend" or "close friend". I don't know if 要好 is used in any other context. I have not seen it.

More closer to learn 普通话 in 五年，lol.

I told the cashier in Chinatown : 我会说一点中文 ("I can speak a little Chinese"). She crossed her arms, stepped back, and looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to speak my little bit of Chinese. She obviously understood 会 as "will", rather than "can".

Thanks for the explanation! Very helpful! My biggest problem with learning Chinese is unlearning English syntax. I translate Chinese words but put them in incorrect order because of sentence structures I have learned in English.

Very accurate explanations! Thanks a lot!

Hi I was watching a chinese drama and when the characters reach a destination they always say "dao le" or 到了. Is this a shortened way of saying we arrived?

If someone is not doing as they're told, in English we could say : " Now, you listen to me ! " In Chinese, I think that could be : 你给我听好！ ( But I'm not sure. )

Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most common-and surprisingly complex-Chinese characters: 听 (tīng). If you’re learning Mandarin, you’ve probably encountered it a lot. But did you know that depending on the context, 听 can mean so much more than just 'listen'?

I thought that 找人 meant to physically look for somebody. In that case, "contact" is not good in English, because "contact" means by phone or by e-mail. So 随时来找我 should be "Come and see me anytime". (This is very common, especially in an office setting.) Similarly, 随时来找我 should be "If you have any issues, come and see me". (This also is very common in an office setting.)

This is a great expression to learn, and it certainly does mean "suffer in silence". However, "suffer in silence" is a somewhat literary form, rarely used in everyday spoken language. We are more likely to say "take it lying down", and this is very common. We could also say "grin and bear it". Or "turn the other cheek". This is a biblical expression, where Jesus advises people not to hit back when slapped, but to "turn the other cheek". Its use is quite common. … I also appreciated learning : 别把责任推到妹妹身上 = "Don't shift the blame onto your sister"

I'm glade i found your channel. Its a hidden gem. Thank you for your efforts. 😊

This is one the best ways to teach Chinese ive seen so far...if you could write transition of each word in front of each character that would be more convenient. But still its best. Im learning Chinese and going to see your other videos.

Awesome, thank you teacher

"The ship dropped anchor in Hong Kong" = 船在香港抛锚了 It's interesting that 抛锚 ("drop anchor") is also used for "break down" when talking about cars.

I wonder if 怎么回事 can be used with the meaning "How can that be?". For example: "Although he failed the exam, his father bought him a new car. How can that be?" 虽然他考试不及格，他爸爸还是给他买了一辆新车。这是怎么回事？

I have only seen 兜风 used with 开车 before, but I guess it's more versatile than that. How about : 我们骑马去兜风吧 ("Let's go for a horseback ride")

When learning Chinese, one of the challenges language learners face is differentiating similar-sounding words with distinct meanings and usages. In this video, we will explore how the three Chinese terms 到达 (dàodá), 抵达 (dǐ dá), and 达到 (dádào) should be used. Although they all include the character 达, which conveys a sense of 'reaching' or 'arriving,' they differ in context and application.

5:21 国家代表团安全地抵达目的地。you can also say 安全抵达without using 地. sorry for the typo error. 😒

Maybe "safely arrive" should be 安全地抵达. 安全的抵达 looks more like "safe arrival".

非常好的视频，很好的例子， 谢谢！

还有，最后两句话都是错误的。

”你到底吃了吗？“ 这句话没有任何问题。

6:50 I think you mean to say 买 has to be before 别的. Because the example sentence has 买 before 别的，not after.
