Well it's about time grace sheesh!😄 & oh yeah I forgot don't ever torture us like that again😋😂 but it's ok we understand because you put a lot into your videos on top of juggling school & that shows a lot about you & it means a lot to us I wish you nothing but the best in life & hope you accomplish everything you've been working towards buddy #Grace4president❤️❤️❤️ #noelectionneeded👈
这录像是非上好。多谢 你 ：-）I'm very much for podcasts in Chinese, because sometimes I know I need my daily dosage of spoken Chinese but am in no mood for another episode of drama.
I agree with the others. The video turned out great! I love how you always take an educational video and make it look and sound fun, modern and trendy.
@@imvarda I’m not sure why you would say it’s not educational. Then if someone wanted to learn English, should it be from U.K. or America? Also, china has many different accents including in the south where the accent is very very similar to the one in taiwan. So are they not educational and useful either? 到底 which part of china is acceptable for you?
@@JamesWongLife I'm an expat living in China and as an intermediate learner it is entirely wasteful for me to try and not learn anything but standard chinese, if you have to ask me what that means then I guess you are not an expat living here. Anyway, let's stop this dialogue - it's my opinion, you're free to have yours too! Grace is awesome.
I am bilingual because I moved to the US when I was around 11. I’m very fluent in two languages, and learning a new language like Chinese feels so difficult because sometimes things don’t make sense to me. When I hear you talk about how it’s frustrating to hear “A” sounding differently depending on the word, it made me realize that the difficulty is just a part of the process to overcome. Because English is a language I grew up with, I don’t notice all the little things that would be hard to explain to non-English speakers. When you point it out , I feel like my frustration with learning a new language is also the pronunciation because I don’t want to get into a bad habit that will stick with me (as in a habit of saying the same word incorrectly over and over). I think you are really amazing at teaching. Your process and work ethic is also so inspiring. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us these videos.
The pronunciation is the thing we are all afraid about but we should work it since day 1 cause it's hard to get use to talk later. I speak english (not really fluently but i am okay), spanish and French, and i am learning 3 others languages. I really feel it when you talk about difficulties that natives speakers don't notice. I remember that some stuff were so hard for me in English back then and now it just come naturally even if i am not fluent .
@@shaps9311 Yes, I get a little discourage at times and upset at myself because I really want to get better. Our own language is so natural to us that we don’t really think much about it, so I want to get to a point when the new language will become so natural that I won’t have to think so much before speaking lol. That would be nice. ^^
@@purinpat if you wait until to achieve a good level before speaking you will regret it. I encourage you to start to speak now. When we were kids, we were doing mistakes while speaking our native language and now we are fluent. That's the same with new languages. Mistakes will help you to improve. If you are shy just speak to yourself. If you are shy, Repeat sentences you know when you are alone in your room, sing some songs, try to sum up your day to yourself in the mirror.
@@purinpat (maybe it's just me but Taiwanese people seem to speak slower so it's easier to have a conversation with them and improve than with mainland chinese people) You are welcome. 加油
Grace, you are truly a god-send to all of us learning Chinese! Every day I check my RUclips feed to see if you've released a new video! You are born to do this. Also, your English is really good, keep it up! I am an online English teacher for a Taiwanese company, so I am familiar with how Taiwanese people speak English. You can really be so proud of yourself!
You are a genius. Clearly, you analyze the languages and have your own innovations in teaching chinese language. The videos are all helpful and insightful.
This was such an amazing video. You are an awesome person and you make me want to learn Mandarin Chinese. I was in a bad place and couldn't bring myself to keep practicing Mandarin Chinese, I was getting no joy out of it, but when I watched your videos it made me want to study, study, study. So thank you. Please make more videos where you only speak Mandarin Chinese, it's fun and great practice. I actually learned a lot of vocab from this video. I don't know if you have a video like this, but if you could recommend movies and dramas to watch-maybe in Chinese-I think it'd be great. Great job!!

This was very inspiring! Not just to keep learning Mandarin, but also just to live my life better. I'm 28 but I feel like you were already doing a better job of just living at 24. It's all about putting in the effort.
We're actually the same age! Idk why but it makes me happy! Also I really like this kind of format where we learn a bit more about you! It's cool (and great listening practice)
As someone who is improving in conversational chinese, it was helpful to listen to you answer these questions in Chinese. Do you have recommendations for any chinese-language podcasts (prefer Taiwanese Chinese since I visit there regularly) to improve my listening skills, that aren't too difficult (podcasts discussing current events are often too advanced)
Ok wow. The fact that you were able to transform your English pronunciation to near native speaker level in 2 years is just amazing. I'm also from Hsinchu, but I had the benefit of living aboard for a long time to get my English to where it is right now. You are a living proof that learning English in Taiwan, or learning Mandarin outside of Chinese speaking countries, doesn't have to be a limiting factor to your language abilities. It really comes down to the method of teaching and personal determination.
Wow! I only intended to watch maybe 5 mins at the most. I was only expecting fave food, tv show etc. You are insanely taleted and an incredibly hard worker! Very surprised you have time to eat or sleep with that workload! Haha! Awesome work that is very much appreciated. Thank you Grace. You rock🤘🏼💯 I guessed about physical age at 26, but intellectually, I think you would be closer to about master level.
You're amazing. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You're very talented and beautiful. I'm working on becoming more fluent before going to Taiwan. Thanks for all your videos they've been helping me a lot. My favorite teacher so far.
I would love to see more videos like this with you speaking mandarin for the entire video, on any topic really. Some more advanced videos on grammar structure, writing, and 成语 would be amazing as well. Much love.
About 8 years ago I lived in Taiwan for a year and got to a middle intermediate level. Since moving back to the states and starting a job and General life issues, I’ve really let my skills fall behind. Thank you for your inspiration to continue! While you may see not traveling much out of Taiwan as a negative, as someone teaching Chinese and having great English abilities as well, it encourages me to refocus on my Chinese and not use an excuse of “I’m not in Taiwan anymore to really practice” - I look forward to many more videos and updates from you! One thing I would suggest for future podcast is taking an interesting Chinese news story.... not necessarily political but maybe viral internet stories, culture, fashion trends, travel, gaming, etc and explaining the story in a more intermediate level for listeners. Maybe one first half intermediate....a little slower to allow clarity in sounds and word order yet fast enough to pose a challenge. Then the second half in a more advanced way. Maybe have a friend come on and you two talk about it - once again maybe in a more slower pace yet natural talking and then in a more advance. Whatever you do, I’m sure it will be great! Don’t worry about vowels and sounds. If you travel more and interact with English speakers, those issues will correct themselves once you use them often. I feel like they are good to be taught and be aware of and practice, but won’t really stick in your mind and come naturally until you really use them in English speaking settings because they can be very tricky for non-native speakers. Just like bad mitten or piano, with practice you’ll become way more aware of the sound issues until you get to the point you are saying them correctly without even thinking about it.
Oh my god, 16:59 - 'bad' vs. 'bed'. That was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! That short 'a' vowel gets confused allllllll the time with short 'e'. My younger students ALWAYS confuse them. It's really funny to see you point out the absurdity and that some sounds even still give someone like you trouble!
That's so interesting. As native a native English speaker it's not something I would have ever imagined to be a difficult concept to learn. I guess that's what it's like for native Chinese speakers when they discover that Mandarin students struggle with tones.
About your age, I thought “she must be around my age”, I’m 25...pretty close!! Am Also you played the Pocahontas theme song on the piano! It does sound beautiful, never heard it before (on piano), but I used to sing it all the time when I was in chorus in middle school 🥰 Thank you for telling us more about yourself, this was very entertaining 💚
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! It’s awesome getting to practice my listening while also learning all sorts of cool things about you. You’re incredibly talented and hard working, hearing about everything you’re doing is very inspirational! Plus, you gave me some great ideas on ways to improve my workflow and life in generals. 非常感谢！
I know this is weird but, I learned 大姨妈来from you.I remember hearing this girl say it and all I could think of at that moment was "wow, I learned this from Grace. The Chinese she teaches, actually works"...if this is weird, my apologies 🤭
This is a really good film Grace laoshi. I'm 6 months or so, learning, and this was a great listening practice! I think your best film yet! I think this is worth time putting hanzi on it. I had to use English subtitles, because my listening skills are't great! But you speak so clearly! With hanzi I think this could be the best listening youtube film online!! I also see Shuoshuo and Smart/Karina posting... you all are great!
If you started a podcast I would definitely listen! Ever since your video recommending podcasts I have been listening to the kkshow and 打个电话给你 everyday. Listening to these podcasts has definitely been the most useful and interesting tool for learning chinese :)
看完了之後，覺得你超認真，也很成熟。以後做什麼工作或王陣麽方向發展一定會成功的！ 創造動機這一點，很認同。你所謂的走出校門走向社會之前已經懂得創造動機這件事，就是說明你很有智慧（會不會說得有點過分😅） Also, love that you are humble enough to keep the "bed" VS "bad" part in the video. It's that spirit of humility in the face of challenges that allows folks to reach the highest heights of any domain of expertise. 讚！
This was such a long video than your normal ones, but thank you for answering these questions 😂✨ And also, you look wayyy younger than your actual age, 你很漂亮 😭❤️
Hi! I’m new to your channel and I really like Taiwan mandarin, the way it sounds is so pleasing to my ears. ☺️☺️☺️ I’m also learning American Sign Language because I am Hard of Hearing. :)
I have been subscribed to your channel for a long time, and it is great to watch your channel continue to grow! 😊 I am studying Chinese and I hope to teach English as a second language in China or Taiwan in the future! Thank you for your videos, and I hope you stay healthy and happy. 加油 💗
You r a multi talented person. I like your teaching skill and presentation. You r an honest teacher only u provide us d learning source from Google. Thank u teacher I am a teenagers student of u only 51yrs old now. (😀😃😄)
Love to hear you speak full chinese... I hope you can share the text of all your words in this video... I need to listen every single day so that my tongue will be able to copy your pronunciation... Haha..
I really appreciate this all-Chinese (with subtitles) video! And thanks for using your professional knowledges on language learning to help us study Chinese!
Grace has one of the best methods of teaching languages so most people can learn Chinese. But it won't work for me while I am watching the video because her heavenly beauty mesmerizes and distracts me.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Great video! Good listening practice, and I get to learn more about you. I find it so endearing when someone has trouble hearing and pronouncing certain words in English, but they are trying hard to get it right. I can tell how hard you've worked to get where you are. It's takes a long time to learn a language. I really like your English accent; it's so soothing. Although, in that one clip you showed you sounded a bit robotic, hehe.
just recently subscribe & watched some of your videos not yet done with the rest though, I can see you are doing a great job Grace 加油💪。I love watching taiwanese teachers found your channel few days ago.Thanks for the effort sharing all the tips. I love learning mandarin still struggling DIY studying hope to learn more from you too appreciate your effort and inspired by your motivation.❤️
* Your piano and badminton skills are impressive! I want to try badminton. It looks fun! * I guessed 23. * I’ll continue to watch your ads. * Your notebook and handwriting are so neat. 😳 * Good luck with graduate school! * I didn’t see anyone guess the sixth country yet. Maybe Australia? * Lastly, thank you so much, and congratulations on the 50K subscribers!
hello Grace! Nice to know more about you! I like languages too, conversant in Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, English, intermediate Korean, and basic Japanese..
Aha, I guessed correctly because we're the same age XD Thank you for this video, I love this format of almost all Mandarin to help us learn new words and practice listening! And it was nice to learn more about you, your piano playing as a child was so good!
Watching your channel grow is so cool. I guessed you just got 25. btw The extension "two captions for youtube" is very useful for this video (and the long i version of the word video is actually the correct way to pronounce it in German)
I was always told that one of the fastest way to learn a foreign language is find a partner/significant other that speaks the target language. That was one of the ways that I learned Spanish so fast. 🤷♂️🤣
Love Taiwan, I'm following 2 nice French youtubers (a couple), who are visiting the country for a year, after leaving Japan. They love it and it makes me wanna go there to meet my Taiwanese friend as well
Ever thought about learning a foreign language yourself? What better way to know what your future students will be going through when starting their life-changing journey into the Chinese language?
Grace, can you please recommend us good websites where we can download Chinese books, essays or even drama scripts for free? Looking forward to your podcast! Congratulations upon reaching 55k❤❤
Your videos are great! It helps me a lot. I want to learn Mandarin because I want to communicate well to my Taiwan co-workers. Looking forward to your next videos. Xie xie
我媽過世之後就很想自己的中午進步，覺得如果忘記這個語言代表忘記了她。其實很後悔那時候沒有好好的學，跟她溝通不太深刻，只是日常生活而已。生了孩子之後就希望能傳這個語言給下一代，雖然沒機會遇見阿嫲，我想當她還在，幫著我照顧她的孫子。 還有，妳都應該知道，英文拼法和發音是無關的，that's why you get "P" is for psychology, "K" is for know and knight, "M" is for mnemonic, and why is see and sea are not pronounced differently when they're spelled with different letters. 是因爲英文字母是 at most quasi phonetic. If it was true phonetic, spelling bee competitions wouldn't exist. I've heard Korean's Hangul is true phonetic, same idea as 注音符號, one symbol one sound, which English is not.
It sucks when you put alotta work into something, only to have others not appreciate it 🙁 But honestly, keep doing your thing and rock it anyway! Does your family/bf watch and support your channel? I really hope so! Thank you for all the amazing content 😊
amazing how I got to you (and subscribed) even though I am not an active Chinese learner. Not sure if it is too later to ask but where is the best place(s) you have found to get langauge exchange partners? is it locally or on the internet?

If you want Taiwanese accented chinese...otherwise it is not at all, fanboy~
@@imvarda what’s wrong with that?
@@JamesWongLife Nothing at all - but if you want to learn standard Chinese it is not educational.
@@imvarda I’m not sure why you would say it’s not educational. Then if someone wanted to learn English, should it be from U.K. or America? Also, china has many different accents including in the south where the accent is very very similar to the one in taiwan. So are they not educational and useful either? 到底 which part of china is acceptable for you?
@@JamesWongLife I'm an expat living in China and as an intermediate learner it is entirely wasteful for me to try and not learn anything but standard chinese, if you have to ask me what that means then I guess you are not an expat living here. Anyway, let's stop this dialogue - it's my opinion, you're free to have yours too! Grace is awesome.
I am bilingual because I moved to the US when I was around 11. I’m very fluent in two languages, and learning a new language like Chinese feels so difficult because sometimes things don’t make sense to me.
When I hear you talk about how it’s frustrating to hear “A” sounding differently depending on the word, it made me realize that the difficulty is just a part of the process to overcome. Because English is a language I grew up with, I don’t notice all the little things that would be hard to explain to non-English speakers. When you point it out , I feel like my frustration with learning a new language is also the pronunciation because I don’t want to get into a bad habit that will stick with me (as in a habit of saying the same word incorrectly over and over).
I think you are really amazing at teaching. Your process and work ethic is also so inspiring. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us these videos.
The pronunciation is the thing we are all afraid about but we should work it since day 1 cause it's hard to get use to talk later.
I speak english (not really fluently but i am okay), spanish and French, and i am learning 3 others languages. I really feel it when you talk about difficulties that natives speakers don't notice. I remember that some stuff were so hard for me in English back then and now it just come naturally even if i am not fluent .
@@shaps9311 Yes, I get a little discourage at times and upset at myself because I really want to get better. Our own language is so natural to us that we don’t really think much about it, so I want to get to a point when the new language will become so natural that I won’t have to think so much before speaking lol. That would be nice. ^^
@@purinpat if you wait until to achieve a good level before speaking you will regret it. I encourage you to start to speak now. When we were kids, we were doing mistakes while speaking our native language and now we are fluent. That's the same with new languages. Mistakes will help you to improve. If you are shy just speak to yourself. If you are shy, Repeat sentences you know when you are alone in your room, sing some songs, try to sum up your day to yourself in the mirror.
@@shaps9311 thanks for the tip. I have Chinese and Taiwanese friends. I will try to be brave and ask them to help correct my pronunciations.
@@purinpat (maybe it's just me but Taiwanese people seem to speak slower so it's easier to have a conversation with them and improve than with mainland chinese people)
You are welcome. 加油
Intermediate/advanced listeners really need more chinese language vlogs like this!
Grace, you are truly a god-send to all of us learning Chinese! Every day I check my RUclips feed to see if you've released a new video! You are born to do this. Also, your English is really good, keep it up! I am an online English teacher for a Taiwanese company, so I am familiar with how Taiwanese people speak English. You can really be so proud of yourself!
Thanks Jonathan! Your words literally made my day! Thank you for letting me know these!
@Albert YK Chen As a native speaker, I think she said it in 4th tone .
You are a genius. Clearly, you analyze the languages and have your own innovations in teaching chinese language. The videos are all helpful and insightful.
Thank you for your kind words!🥰
This was such an amazing video. You are an awesome person and you make me want to learn Mandarin Chinese. I was in a bad place and couldn't bring myself to keep practicing Mandarin Chinese, I was getting no joy out of it, but when I watched your videos it made me want to study, study, study. So thank you. Please make more videos where you only speak Mandarin Chinese, it's fun and great practice. I actually learned a lot of vocab from this video. I don't know if you have a video like this, but if you could recommend movies and dramas to watch-maybe in Chinese-I think it'd be great. Great job!!

Grace is wonderful 😊
This was very inspiring! Not just to keep learning Mandarin, but also just to live my life better. I'm 28 but I feel like you were already doing a better job of just living at 24. It's all about putting in the effort.
We're actually the same age! Idk why but it makes me happy! Also I really like this kind of format where we learn a bit more about you! It's cool (and great listening practice)
You have totally inspired me to study Mandarin, and I’m so excited! Thank you for giving such great content.
As someone who is improving in conversational chinese, it was helpful to listen to you answer these questions in Chinese. Do you have recommendations for any chinese-language podcasts (prefer Taiwanese Chinese since I visit there regularly) to improve my listening skills, that aren't too difficult (podcasts discussing current events are often too advanced)
Ok wow. The fact that you were able to transform your English pronunciation to near native speaker level in 2 years is just amazing. I'm also from Hsinchu, but I had the benefit of living aboard for a long time to get my English to where it is right now. You are a living proof that learning English in Taiwan, or learning Mandarin outside of Chinese speaking countries, doesn't have to be a limiting factor to your language abilities. It really comes down to the method of teaching and personal determination.
Wow! I only intended to watch maybe 5 mins at the most. I was only expecting fave food, tv show etc. You are insanely taleted and an incredibly hard worker! Very surprised you have time to eat or sleep with that workload! Haha! Awesome work that is very much appreciated. Thank you Grace. You rock🤘🏼💯
I guessed about physical age at 26, but intellectually, I think you would be closer to about master level.
Haha I'm glad you like the content! and thank you for your kind words! 😉
You're amazing.
I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You're very talented and beautiful.
I'm working on becoming more fluent before going to Taiwan.
Thanks for all your videos they've been helping me a lot. My favorite teacher so far.
I would love to see more videos like this with you speaking mandarin for the entire video, on any topic really. Some more advanced videos on grammar structure, writing, and 成语 would be amazing as well. Much love.
你好，我是台灣人，中文是我的母語，但我還是好喜歡看您用英文解說中文。很高興認識您。
24:20 I think it's gonna be Germany ?
About 8 years ago I lived in Taiwan for a year and got to a middle intermediate level. Since moving back to the states and starting a job and General life issues, I’ve really let my skills fall behind. Thank you for your inspiration to continue! While you may see not traveling much out of Taiwan as a negative, as someone teaching Chinese and having great English abilities as well, it encourages me to refocus on my Chinese and not use an excuse of “I’m not in Taiwan anymore to really practice” - I look forward to many more videos and updates from you! One thing I would suggest for future podcast is taking an interesting Chinese news story.... not necessarily political but maybe viral internet stories, culture, fashion trends, travel, gaming, etc and explaining the story in a more intermediate level for listeners. Maybe one first half intermediate....a little slower to allow clarity in sounds and word order yet fast enough to pose a challenge. Then the second half in a more advanced way. Maybe have a friend come on and you two talk about it - once again maybe in a more slower pace yet natural talking and then in a more advance. Whatever you do, I’m sure it will be great! Don’t worry about vowels and sounds. If you travel more and interact with English speakers, those issues will correct themselves once you use them often. I feel like they are good to be taught and be aware of and practice, but won’t really stick in your mind and come naturally until you really use them in English speaking settings because they can be very tricky for non-native speakers. Just like bad mitten or piano, with practice you’ll become way more aware of the sound issues until you get to the point you are saying them correctly without even thinking about it.
Hi Allen, Thank you so much for these good suggestions! I really appreciate it!
I love your channel so much! After this video, you have inspired me even more with my Chinese learning journey! Don't stop doing what you're doing! 谢谢
Oh my god, 16:59 - 'bad' vs. 'bed'. That was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! That short 'a' vowel gets confused allllllll the time with short 'e'. My younger students ALWAYS confuse them. It's really funny to see you point out the absurdity and that some sounds even still give someone like you trouble!
That's so interesting. As native a native English speaker it's not something I would have ever imagined to be a difficult concept to learn. I guess that's what it's like for native Chinese speakers when they discover that Mandarin students struggle with tones.
About your age, I thought “she must be around my age”, I’m 25...pretty close!! Am
Also you played the Pocahontas theme song on the piano! It does sound beautiful, never heard it before (on piano), but I used to sing it all the time when I was in chorus in middle school 🥰
Thank you for telling us more about yourself, this was very entertaining 💚
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! It’s awesome getting to practice my listening while also learning all sorts of cool things about you. You’re incredibly talented and hard working, hearing about everything you’re doing is very inspirational!
Plus, you gave me some great ideas on ways to improve my workflow and life in generals.
非常感谢！
Thank you for your kind words! 🥰 It's my pleasure!
I know this is weird but, I learned 大姨妈来from you.I remember hearing this girl say it and all I could think of at that moment was "wow, I learned this from Grace. The Chinese she teaches, actually works"...if this is weird, my apologies 🤭
This is a really good film Grace laoshi. I'm 6 months or so, learning, and this was a great listening practice! I think your best film yet!
I think this is worth time putting hanzi on it.
I had to use English subtitles, because my listening skills are't great! But you speak so clearly!
With hanzi I think this could be the best listening youtube film online!!
I also see Shuoshuo and Smart/Karina posting... you all are great!
*Katrina... typo!
If you started a podcast I would definitely listen! Ever since your video recommending podcasts I have been listening to the kkshow and 打个电话给你 everyday. Listening to these podcasts has definitely been the most useful and interesting tool for learning chinese :)
看完了之後，覺得你超認真，也很成熟。以後做什麼工作或王陣麽方向發展一定會成功的！
創造動機這一點，很認同。你所謂的走出校門走向社會之前已經懂得創造動機這件事，就是說明你很有智慧（會不會說得有點過分😅）
Also, love that you are humble enough to keep the "bed" VS "bad" part in the video. It's that spirit of humility in the face of challenges that allows folks to reach the highest heights of any domain of expertise. 讚！
謝謝你 Peter! And thank you for sending me the challenging poem ;)

Love to hear you speak full chinese... I hope you can share the text of all your words in this video...
I need to listen every single day so that my tongue will be able to copy your pronunciation... Haha..
Okay. I'll make sure to watch at least 30 sec of ads every time. Best Chinese as a second language content on RUclips :)
Yeah! Thank you!!
Definitely, if this is a way to show appreciation for your charity and hard work.
I really appreciate this all-Chinese (with subtitles) video! And thanks for using your professional knowledges on language learning to help us study Chinese!
Please come up with more videos. Btw I love your channel so much.
Be happy 😊 ❤

Your English notes in your notebook is too lit and very detailed! 10/10

Great video! Good listening practice, and I get to learn more about you.
I find it so endearing when someone has trouble hearing and pronouncing certain words in English, but they are trying hard to get it right. I can tell how hard you've worked to get where you are. It's takes a long time to learn a language.
I really like your English accent; it's so soothing. Although, in that one clip you showed you sounded a bit robotic, hehe.
Been waiting for this upload!!!
just recently subscribe & watched some of your videos not yet done with the rest though, I can see you are doing a great job Grace 加油💪。I love watching taiwanese teachers found your channel few days ago.Thanks for the effort sharing all the tips. I love learning mandarin still struggling DIY studying hope to learn more from you too appreciate your effort and inspired by your motivation.❤️

然後我覺得可能真的中文系的培養，還有妳特別提到的語音學課程吧，在妳教到中文的一些看似根本解釋不出來的內建原則時，都可以講的很有邏輯，非常欣賞佩服！因為我自己有時候也會思考到，但都無疾而終
You're great! Thanks a lot for your videos )

There is another person also guessed Australia, but the answer is Canada :P

Thanks! Adding the subtitles took me a long time😂 I’m glad it’s helpful!
Aha, I guessed correctly because we're the same age XD
Thank you for this video, I love this format of almost all Mandarin to help us learn new words and practice listening! And it was nice to learn more about you, your piano playing as a child was so good!
Wow , you're awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite videos definetely
Grace is so beautiful and smart!😃
姐姐你好有氣質💕我的問題有被回答到耶好開心😆
you make me fall in love with mandarin
Grace你好，雖然我是台灣人，但是很喜歡你的頻道，因為我本身對觀察語言非常有興趣，雖然不是我的工作，但是也算是我的消遣吧！而且有時候，某些我不曾注意到的詞彙跟用法，被你提出來之後，我就突然意識到了，例如：「想不開」，我之前都覺得是「想不開」這個詞本身而已，沒有想到原來隱含著「自殺」的意思。
如果希望你做一個Podcast，我很希望是關於語言學的Podcast，或者是華語教學的相關內容。
如果願意的話，或許可以在臉書、IG等等上交流。
Watching your channel grow is so cool. I guessed you just got 25.
btw The extension "two captions for youtube" is very useful for this video (and the long i version of the word video is actually the correct way to pronounce it in German)
Congrats! I love your channel, you've really helped me learn Mandarin ☺️
i’d love to see more videos like this ❤️
I was always told that one of the fastest way to learn a foreign language is find a partner/significant other that speaks the target language. That was one of the ways that I learned Spanish so fast. 🤷♂️🤣
Nice video! I love it!
Hi Grace! 看了這隻影片感覺好像又重新認識了妳一下🤣🤣 非常敬佩妳做事認真仔細的態度和堅韌不拔的毅力以及認準目標後做出清晰又行之有效的規劃的能力！然後受到你的motivation我也決定從今天起改掉拖延的壞習慣🤣🤣 更加surprised的是妳居然還是羽球教練！我也是🏸的big fan，如果妳到北京來玩的話希望有機會一起打球🤩🤩 Btw, 想問下妳有沒有考慮過學一門除了英文之外的第二外語呢😎
Omg i just finished watching 以家人之名 and now I'm watching 我喜欢你，what a coincidence 😊😊
I would have said you look 23 years old, so, well, not too far!
also, I love the music you put in the background of your videos :)

Love Taiwan, I'm following 2 nice French youtubers (a couple), who are visiting the country for a year, after leaving Japan. They love it and it makes me wanna go there to meet my Taiwanese friend as well
Ever thought about learning a foreign language yourself? What better way to know what your future students will be going through when starting their life-changing journey into the Chinese language?
Grace, can you please recommend us good websites where we can download Chinese books, essays or even drama scripts for free? Looking forward to your podcast! Congratulations upon reaching 55k❤❤

@@JamesWongLife Can you teach me how to please?

你多拍純中文的影片吧。我畢業了中文係，所以你的基本教學影片對我沒用。可是，我還很喜歡聼你的話，讓我想起我學中文的體驗（特別是我的台灣老師）。你可不可以多講台灣當地的事情呢？去年我在台灣度假打工，給我很深的印象。我也對大家宗教文化感興趣，很想聼從你角度來看的話。

我媽過世之後就很想自己的中午進步，覺得如果忘記這個語言代表忘記了她。其實很後悔那時候沒有好好的學，跟她溝通不太深刻，只是日常生活而已。生了孩子之後就希望能傳這個語言給下一代，雖然沒機會遇見阿嫲，我想當她還在，幫著我照顧她的孫子。
還有，妳都應該知道，英文拼法和發音是無關的，that's why you get "P" is for psychology, "K" is for know and knight, "M" is for mnemonic, and why is see and sea are not pronounced differently when they're spelled with different letters. 是因爲英文字母是 at most quasi phonetic. If it was true phonetic, spelling bee competitions wouldn't exist. I've heard Korean's Hangul is true phonetic, same idea as 注音符號, one symbol one sound, which English is not.
Hi,could you please upload more lecture videos to your channel?Thanks.
This video inspires to keep learning Chinese though sometimes I lose motivation.
Its normal to lose motivation. Finding a study partner can really help. I just got into it again because I started playing the game Genshin Impact.
語言交換真的是好東西 👌很棒的分享😊
加油 非常喜欢你的影片！来自大陆的粉丝！
It sucks when you put alotta work into something, only to have others not appreciate it 🙁 But honestly, keep doing your thing and rock it anyway!
Does your family/bf watch and support your channel? I really hope so! Thank you for all the amazing content 😊
✌Nihao! Could you please give me the name of the first piece of music that you played ? Thanks you.
You look gorgeous and I like the way u talk
Grace姐姐，What app did you know that we can practice Chinese pronounsiation? Or we can also use VoiceTube?
amazing how I got to you (and subscribed) even though I am not an active Chinese learner. Not sure if it is too later to ask but where is the best place(s) you have found to get langauge exchange partners? is it locally or on the internet?
Like, for real? 😂😂 I'm currently studying in Hsinchu, Taiwan.. I study at NCTU.. Would love to meet you, louhsi, in person 😁
你喜歡喝的奶茶可以去清心福全找喔
他們的隱藏版飲料就是珍珠蜂蜜鮮奶普洱
超好喝的～
對！我都是在清心買的 XD
@@GraceMandarinChinese 哈哈哈 😂 那就直接去清心買就對了
棒~~我把你的pinyin影片分享给我的美国学生，他们很喜欢~~想知道 混淆（hun2 xiao2）在台湾是读hun2 yao2吗？
謝謝你的分享！日常中「混淆」我們讀hun3 yao2，不過在台灣這個詞規定的讀音是hun4 yao2，所以也有人講hun4 yao2（但我比較少聽到就是了）
Very interesting to get some insight to our favorite Chinese teacher on RUclips! Tried to understand without English subs, I’m getting there 🤓
