❌ 6 most common Chinese grammar mistakes we make as learners
Chinese grammar is both ridiculously easy and mind-bogglingly unintuitive for many learners. In this video I talk about the most common grammar mistakes we make as Chinese language learners.
00:12 ❌ Chinese grammar mistake 1: using 还是 (háishi), which means "or" in affirmative sentences
01:25 ❌ Chinese grammar mistake 2: using 和 (hé) to connect verbs, verbal phrases or clauses in a complex sentence
02:53 ❌ Chinese grammar mistake 3: using adverbs after verbs
03:48 ❌ Chinese grammar mistake 4: always translating "how many" as 多少 (duōshao) and forgetting that 几 (jǐ) is also "how many" for numbers under 10
04:35 ❌ Chinese grammar mistake 5: using direct object after separable words
07:08 ❌ Chinese...

    Well done video! In most cases, the reason for unsatisfactory results of learning a foreign language is a loss of interest in the student, or you have stopped at some stage of their training and began to "stomp in one place. Thus, the effort and time you have spent in the absence of new techniques will not allow progress in mastering the language. For example, if you spend your time and effort learning the alphabet for months on end, you will not learn to read, write, speak and understand the spoken and written language. Yuriy Ivantsiv in his book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" writes that you should not selectively stop at one thing, and try to gradually move forward, without skipping anything and not jumping, developing all the necessary language skills for you proportionally. Only then will you get effective results. In your strategy for learning any information for you, including a foreign language, you should adhere to the following principle: you made a breakthrough - mastered the new information, then you need to take the time to consolidate the material and bring it to automaticity. The next step - learn new material and master it, and so on. "There are no secrets to success. It's the result of good preparation, hard work, and learning from your mistakes." Colin Powell. Many thanks to the author of the channel for the tremendous work in creating the instructional video. Thanks to such helpful videos, we have rapid progress in language learning.

    You are amazing. You speak fluent English. 中文 and of course Russian. I am an American that speaks 中文 and Spanish, but not as fluently as you. Your English is amazing, I have not met a Russian person or any non-native English speaker with the complete grasp of American English that you have. I do not want to offend our British friends that is why I said American English. I worked in Taiwan and the British were so badly offended when the employers specified an American accent. You should definitely start a school somewhere (maybe online} and share your language learning knowledge. I know you are doing it now in these videos but I think you would excel in a more rigorous format.

    The Japanese combined kanji to create a new concept, as in the case of the telephone, which they translated as 電話(electricity+talk), while the Chinese applied kanji with close pronunciation like 泰来風(Tài lái fēng). Now they use 電話 in Chinese too. Most of the vocabulary in modern Chinese is borrowed from Japanese.
