Wow, this has to be the most inspiring video I’ve seen about learning Mandarin! I think it’s the variety of interviewees and their personal stories that really made it click for me. It feels so relatable because they all have different reasons for learning Chinese. I’m kind of like the Canadian guy-just super into the culture-and hey, I’m Filipino too! What hit me the most was the experience shared by the lady from Tajikistan. It’s not like speaking Mandarin automatically makes it easy to make Chinese friends. That perspective is so real and helps set balanced expectations for anyone planning to visit China. I’ve been watching Lois Talagrand's videos, and while I respect the research-heavy approach, it can get a bit exhausting-especially when his guests insist on what’s “most important” in language learning (like intentional vs incidental learning). That’s why I love how these folks in the video just share their experiences without pushing them as the only way to learn Mandarin. And honestly, I’m so over those RUclipsrs who only show off their Mandarin skills to impress others. Sure, they’re talented, but they don’t inspire me at all-I just can’t relate to them. Can’t wait to watch more videos like this!
I'm Brazilian from Sao Paulo. China and Brazil are becoming friends more than ever. I had Chinese colleagues when I was a kid. Although, Japanese are more common here, due the immigration. But now we see Chinese people more than ever.😊
Excellent - subscribed! I'm moving to China to teach (Grad School) & work in advanced research in Decorative Arts. For spoken Mandarin, I have the impression that connective words used in assembling phrases are not easy to master. Immersion has always worked for me - French is my 4th language, & I'm fluent...
So far I can see that the only way to study Mandarin fast is to dedicate a year to an University. Despite I am studying it remotely, despite self-learning routine, - it is still simple level. Difficult even to say basic phrases. Introducing one more teacher and more online lessons to myself. But still compared to almost 2y when I started learning Mandarin Chinese, - it is way way way way way better than before
When I was 18 i worked at a restaurant as a busboy there was many Mexican workers in the kitchen and i started learning just by being around them everyday and it’s like muscle memory you casually learn, as far as mandarin I don’t have many options like before, I watch RUclips videos and shows.
I have a Chinese teacher for you to interview if interested? She teaches online, speaks Mandarin and Korean. Might be good interview for you. I take lessons from her and we have become good friends.
The Tajik waitress used (I presume) almost all hsk1 grammar but was able to have a decent conversation with an accent that I was able to actually understand! (Im a poor hsk1 level 学生). She should start her own mandarin-youtube and make a bunch of friends that way.
it is so easy to humiliate someone instead of showing support. she is just 26 and around age 35 if she gonna keep living in China her language will become more natural
The interviewer's English is really good. He has a Danish accent (like when Danish people speak English). It sounds pretty cool!
So far I have heard people say I’m from Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, UK, America …now let’s go Denmark 🇩🇰

This guy's Mandarin is so good that I can hardly distinguish he is foreigner if I don't see his face.
I guess I will never speak Mandarin well because I don’t know anyone that speaks Mandarin to hang out with.

Yes yes! I’ll be in Beijing for the next few months
@aiden_qiuu let me ask her. The interview needs to be done online or through Zoom ? She lives in Korea. OK?
@ oh no sorry has to be in person
Understand. Good luck
红衣服这人几乎没口音学了几年
No one wants to be her friend :0 Thats crazy!
Super crazy
The Tajik waitress used (I presume) almost all hsk1 grammar but was able to have a decent conversation with an accent that I was able to actually understand! (Im a poor hsk1 level 学生). She should start her own mandarin-youtube and make a bunch of friends that way.
Much higher than hsk1, at least hsk3? I don't know where you're thinking her grammar is hsk1
Do you mean vocabulary? Grammar doesn’t make sense in this case. And HSK1 sounds too basic for what she was saying
@@jeunejaegerx3458i agree. It was probably HSK 3.
it is so easy to humiliate someone instead of showing support. she is just 26 and around age 35 if she gonna keep living in China her language will become more natural

就不能加字幕嘛，，，明明看你视频最多的是华人和中国人
17:16 it's never get rid from the english
Lady in orange picked one of the worst English accents to pick up lol
Aussie ? It’s alright it’s not so bad, there’s worse accents haha
Whats your problem with Aussie accents? I'd rather have that than my American accent
I love this lady's (Alex) Aussie accent. But I am Australian so I would say that
I loved her Aussie/Chinese/American accent. It was really pretty actually.
I found you on ig
