How Does the Chinese Language Work? ANSWERING ALL YOUR QUESTIONS
Hi friends! I guess you've all heard a thing or two about the Chinese App Xiaohongshu, or Rednote, which has been flooded by #tiktokrefugee As a frequent user of Rednote, I've noticed that quite some people have developed a genuine interest in mandarin Chinese and I'd like to take this chance to explain some most frequently asked question about the Chinese language, such as how the Chinese keyboards work, how Chinese poeple write, how Chinese grammar works etc.☺️

    As it happens, this is one reason I practice with a variety of conversation partners. My Spanish is pretty good, and after a while tutors tend to enjoy the conversation & not break the flow to point out when something isn't quite natural because it sounds good enough. But I don't want "good enough" Spanish. I want to know when there are better, more natural, or just alternative interesting ways to express myself.

    • @CeciliaCao
      @CeciliaCao Месяц назад

      Yes true! By practicing with different people, you can always pick up new words and actually strengthen the memory of the super common phrases they everyone uses 😂 and the last point that you mentioned is also spot on! A lot of the times I also struggle with finding more interesting ways to express myself bc of the limitation of vocabulary

  • @travisweaver1805
    @travisweaver1805 2 месяца назад

    A few questions: 1. do you have to do the exams for the lower levels first or can you just take the C-1 if you feel like you're ready? 2. If you want to pass your DELE, do you have to speak Spain Spanish or can you have a Latin American accent? 3. Do you have to take your DELE in person in Spain? or are there other places you can you take it?

    • @CeciliaCao
      @CeciliaCao 2 месяца назад

      Hiiii! Nope, for Dele you can sign up for whichever level you want as long as you think you’re ready for that level. About the accent they don’t really specify and I think both are fine. Actually for C1 for example, in the listening part and the audio in writing as well, they specifically use some pieces with Latin American accent, so I believe they are looking for some variety as well! You can do DELE in any city in the world as long as they hold the exam☺️

    You termed it “conscious learning” which is a great name. I’ve heard people call it “deliberate practice” and “active learning” as well. Definitely a fundamental principle to follow, not only for languages but for learning in general.

    • @CeciliaCao
      @CeciliaCao 2 месяца назад

      Thank you!!! I also really like this name haha! But now that you’ve mentioned the other two terms that people use, I think they also make a lot of sense. And totally agree with the fact that this is fundamental for learning anything, cuz as I was editing the video, I was also thinking well this actually goes true for any subject if you wanna learn it well

      Hiiii! I think most of the people that I cross path with are very nice and helpful and easy to get along with. But my closest friends here are all people from other countries because in a way we share similar experience and it’s easier to bond. On the other hand i think to feel included in the society also requires certain understanding of the language and culture, basically to learn how the Spanish society works so that we don’t accidentally do or say things that are not well accepted😂

    People take their holidays in August mostly if they are families with kids, but some companies close 15 to30 days too in August because they have less activity. About the holidays itself, in the end people have to work a fixed number of hours in a year which regulated by law or collective agreements. Actually if you look for it, you’ll see that we work more hours per year than Germany o France and more or less the same as UK. I personally don’t like those fixed holidays (with maybe the exception of Christmas) because hat makes me take those days I like or not, and obviously ding things is going to be more expensive

    • @CeciliaCao
