I am a native Chinese speaker. By merely the first few sentences u have said in this video, i can tell that u have a perfect mandarin pronunciation. Great job! Only those who have learned a second language know the effort u have made to reach this level. 🎉
Nice video as always Luke. I grabbed your black Friday deal and in the last week or so I've already seen a difference in my Mandarin level. I've done the PM course but this long video is great to have on while doing other stuff at the same time.
There are so many people teaching Chinese, but what you are doing is making some almost impossible things to do, enjoyable Thank you so much, best teacher ever 💙
Off to a good start re the Pinyin! Even in China most locals seemed to think if you can read Pinyin you should be able to pronounce Mandarin - you can read it you can say it and they don't know why it's hard for us. But once you realize that's not how Pinyin works and start learning the real sounds you're over the first big hump.
Wow great summary of Mandarin individual syllables👍 It's so interesting that British may find it easier to pronounce the Chinese sounds than Americans, although they all are English native speakers!
Most language rules are natural as you describe in the section on tone sandhi. People often perceive them as aritificial even in their own language. English speakers are often totally unaware of certain natural rules they follow that foreign learners struggle with but native speakers can also struggle some of the rules that are the less common artificial ones, or that don't seem natural any more due to language change. Spelling is probably the biggest area of artificial rules in English but there are some artificial grammar rules that were invented in the 19th century I believe due to a perception that Latin was an ideal model of language.
45:28 As a Swede, we don't use the umlaut ü. We have å, ä and ö, but ü is strictly German. Some dialects may use it, but not in stand Swedish nor in writing. However, this does not take away from the incredible video! :D
The "physics null symbol" is actually the math symbol for empty set! Haha But of course this does not affect learning from this awesome video :) Thanks for that, by the way!

I hope you see this! I’m absolutely dying to become a member of Mandarin Blueprint-you lot are incredible. The content you provide is top-notch and totally worth it. Before this session, I was just pronouncing random words or forming sentences on Google Translate to see if it could understand me (spoiler: it couldn’t 😅). But when I practised along with you, I finally nailed the pronunciation I’d been craving! Now that bloody thing can actually understand me, and I feel like a proper native speaker. You’ve honestly earned my highest respect-no bluffing, just pure quality. Huge thanks and admiration to all of you! 🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re feeling more confident with your Mandarin pronunciation . Keep up the great work, and we’re excited to continue helping you on your learning journey! 🙌 See you in the course !

I just started learnring Chinese 2 days ago! Watching your videos has helped understand my courses' whole first week modules in a few minutes. I perfectly understand and hear the pronounciations now and feel like I'm already super ahead. Hope I can start reading in a month or two!~ Keep up the great work man!
I always think of 在 as a special "is/are/am" that's only used for locations. As in where is it, you are there, I am here. Some other Asian languages have exactly the same thing, such as อยู่ in Thai and ở in Vietnamese. Maybe I should say it's like a combination of is/are and a general location preposition like at/in/on where either part of the combination may be left out depending on the rest of the sentence. "Located" seems to be the standard way Chinese teaching materials translate it these days and I wonder if it's Chinese native speakers that think of it that way rather than English native speakers.
@@Nataliequinn0119 No. I'm conversational in Spanish and can handle myself with tourist stuff in a few other languages but can't have a conversation. I don't consider myself fluent in anything other than English.
Thanks for this! It's nice to have all the basics summarized in a single video. I'm not sure I would have ever understood any of it very well without your Pronunciation Mastery class - most of the textbooks I consulted were not helpful at all!

Even as an Aussie I find there's no "cat" sound in Mandarin. I'm actually surprised you find your British "cat" vowel the same as it.

Have you updated your original pronunciation course? I believe you sold the original product as all the learner would need to buy.

I still struggle with ü in Mandarin even though I have no trouble with it at all in French and German. I still don't understand why.
Are you a polyglot?
