Eileeen, 你是最好的老师, 使用最好的方法. 你改变了我的生活.你是很聪明,很美,也好友好.你是太好了! When I grow up I want to be an ESL teacher like you are a CSL teacher. You are truly The Best.
Without a doubt the most intelligent and useful presentation of measure words that I have ever seen. Dividing it thematically and then showing how a given measure applies in different categories really helps bring home the meaning.!!!!
This is a great video series I look forward to studying it over and over again. The pacing is perfect and I'm able to think in Chinese. I will be sending in a donation this month to help you make more videos. Mandarin Corner is the best, we all love Eileen.
Eileen once again fantastic quality of your videos, I am amazed just how good you make them! I hope to meet you someday in shenzhen hahah keep up the good work ;)
I truly love your extensive videos they are without a doubt the best on youtube!! I know love is not enough so when i earn money i will certainly donate!
An excellent reference resource that you can keep going back to for more! The time stamps are great. :) I would have placed the word 'classifier' in the title because that was what I was searching for and what I think most people use for the 'measure words' - it may help with more hits on RUclips search??? Just a suggestion.
The voice is relaxing, the sentences are not too artificial. The pictures are appropriate. The colouring of words is great. Pretty good overall. I would just have like to be able to directly read the Chinese sentence while reading the English one (it's much too slow, I read the English one 4x faster). Also, it would have been nice to display the measure words concerned during the whole session instead of one by one at the beginning.
*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video *5% at a time* on *desktop computers and laptops* OR *25% at a time* on *smartphones!* Access the playback speed controls as follows: *Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the *lower right* of the video's screen and click on the *settings icon* (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link *"custom".* Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time. *Smartphones:* open the video and go to the *upper right* of the video's screen. You will see *3 dots.* Click on them and you will see the link to open the *"playback speed"* controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you *greater control* over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).
Very helpful lesson, thank you. I would prefer the pause before repetition of a sentence to be a little longer to allow me to repeat the sentence, though. Kind regards 😊
How did you get your English pronunciation to such a natural level? Your accent is not very strong at all. Sounds very American/Canadian. A friend was interested in reducing his accent.
Pritam kumar you can look up for “Chinese character frequency list”. it was made by a university department. In that list, the first 1000 characters make up for approximately 90% of texts, the second thousand characters extend that percentage till 97% or so.... but learning this 2000 character is really useless, you need to learn words not characters by themselves, as nowadays mandarin words are, in a great part, disyllabic in structure, and knowing isolated characters don’t help, you can sometimes understand every single character in a sentence but nonetheless are unable to understand its meaning.
I also had not seem this word before, so I check it out on Yellowbridge: www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/dictionary.php?word=养&cache=108696 As Eileen said, it means to "raise".
Eileen, we're going to see you&晓峰 still together to discuss any much interesting nowadays or ancient culture topic, aren't we? (I promise I'll do a good child! 👧🏼) 🐺🧝🏼♀️
Again, amazing content. again, would like more shorter videos. 20 minutes is about the max of my attention span. 10 minutes I would watch the video 3 times. 5 minutes I would probably watch it 4 times. Each section could be made into their own movies..
Hi Yamspaine, yes we understand your point about the video being long BUT this is what it takes to cover the material in a more comprehensive manner. RUclips already has a lot of Chinese teaching channels with 5min to 15 minutes videos. We want to present something different for the more serious student. To help digest the long videos, we are now providing TIME STAMPS. These are the time stamps for this video: 1. Measure Words For People: 01:50 2. Measure Words For Animals: 08:50 3. Measure Words For Plants: 12:20 4. Measure Words For Body Parts: 16:05 5. Measure Words For Vegetables And Fruits: 20:29 6. Measure Words For Food And Drinks: 24:50 7.

Measure Words For Office Items: 56:50 14: Measure Words For Actions: 59:46 Does this help?
I like how long the videos are; she speaks slowly and always repeats sentences which helps understanding, though this of course makes the videos stretch for long. If it's too much to take in at once, specially if you write down the sentences and fiddle with them as I usually do, then take your time; but it's certainly better to have more content than you can deal with than less than you need.
I would watch all of the videos if they were in shorter clips... Her content is near perfect.. I just need to review each section multiple times, and I'd like to do that a few more times for each section. I can't retain a whole video. It might be fine if I were studying Chinese full time. If each video was put into a play list, it would effectively be one long video, and remain suitable for someone watching the whole video... but it would still be easier to go to each chapter. This is just like 6 videos all put into 1. No need to change the video, or re record, just clip it into 6 or 8 videos and they would probably get even more likes... I would be able to hit like for each video. Her view numbers would go up... I would hit like for more videos. No need at all to change the content... just spit it into 8 videos. This video should have thousands of likes and 10's of thousands of views.. if not 100's of thousands..
timestamps are good. I just think that a playlist for measure words would work to your benefit... and mine. Your videos take a lot of effort, and the number of views is lower than I would expect... if it were in 8 videos I think more people would watch... and you would get 8 times as many views. I've tried the other people's 5-15 minute videos... and your content is much better. You truly are excellent. I just watch much fewer of your videos than I would like to because I don't feel like I can take a whole hour. If we can help make an app that goes along with your lessons, or join with an existing company like chinese-skill or hello-chinese or du-chinese that would be amazing. I would have each example as it's own video clip, and be able to play them from your printed content. We might be able to make something for your website that helps drop out words and quiz people. I'm not good at web development, but I'd look at the meteor framework... and try to get a deal with an existing company because there are so many chinese apps out there and many are excellent... yours is just even better.
My imagination for how I would like to absorb your lessons is by having each example as a separate video on a web page that can automatically play one, then pause for an amount of time, then play the next video. I might have a fill in the blank quiz or something for each.. and maybe have something that blocks the audio and covers a word and asks a multiple choice question. Technically the video could probably be played and paused with one monolithic video as the source.
Actually we do not need any measure words in China, when they tried to cheat me in a cafe for a helping of a qingzhengyu, I did not say yi tiao yu, they perfectly understood my yige yu and reduced the price five times and my comment "Bu nenggou sahuang " you cannot deceive customers

谢谢你Eileen, 我觉得看你的视频是学习中文的最好的办法。
谢谢！
太好了！太好了！我很喜欢用您的视频练习中文。 Eileen 老师 多谢了 加油！
你也加油！
Hi Eileen, this video is fantastic. Are you thinking of doing another video for measure words with perhaps more complex/abstract nouns? thanks
No
We love this series of videos from you. This one is especially helpful. Thanks!
I read your description above - good news for me ! - my goal is to talk like a 3 year old ! :)
Amazing thank you so much Eileen❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much for this video.
Very helpful lesson, thank you. I would prefer the pause before repetition of a sentence to be a little longer to allow me to repeat the sentence, though. Kind regards 😊
Great job again. So applicable, love it!
This is absolutely brilliant
太好了。 又一个优秀的视频。谢谢！
thank you so much! you surely deserve more views!
Wow you helped so much! This was always confusing to me, but you explained it so well and detailed with good example sentences, as always!谢谢您❤️
Great Job Eileen , my Chinese is terrible , but with your teaching method, I will get better one day . 👍😊
Thanks for uploading
A very informative episode, Million thanks.
Very nice video and thanks for teaching us Chinese language.
Love from Pakistan Lahore Changa Manga
comprehensive .. very helpful .. thanks a lot for the video
Simply excellent!
This is wonderful, it also helps to practice the 一 tone variations🤓
您的教学水平越来越好。
谢谢鼓励！
Great video. Learned a lot!
Great stuff, thank you ! Minor detail -- "weigh" not "weight" in, for example, "how much does this broccoli weigh?"
Oops! Thanks for the correction, Tao!
@@MandarinCorner2 Minor nit-pick, no need to fix it. Everyone knows what you mean. Great work !
Eileen, xie xie. It really helps me a lot .
You're the best!
Thanks a lot, i really appreciate your videos
Another excellent lesson. I've just donated ^^
Nice thank you
Great video as always, thank you
This is amazing, thank you so much! 很谢谢你！
Very informative video. Thanks
thanks for this!
Thank you very much ma'am😊
Beautiful information
Mind blowing video
Very good

How did you get your English pronunciation to such a natural level? Your accent is not very strong at all. Sounds very American/Canadian. A friend was interested in reducing his accent.
Great.. thank you. 😘😘😘
I have a question... Why do you use "yang le" instead of "you" to explain 'to have'? Can you not always use you?
老师您好，请问， can you tell me that how many Chinese characters do I need to learn to be fluent ?谢谢您。
Pritam kumar you can look up for “Chinese character frequency list”. it was made by a university department. In that list, the first 1000 characters make up for approximately 90% of texts, the second thousand characters extend that percentage till 97% or so.... but learning this 2000 character is really useless, you need to learn words not characters by themselves, as nowadays mandarin words are, in a great part, disyllabic in structure, and knowing isolated characters don’t help, you can sometimes understand every single character in a sentence but nonetheless are unable to understand its meaning.
A question. Would it be too weird to not complicate yourself and use gè for almost everything?
Thank you so much
谢谢你
Very handy! THX!
Great video but one funny comment - mountain 3000km high ! But the chinese is correct
你好老师。我先想说你的视频特别好！！但是 @52分钟12秒 的量词应该是 “条” 对不对？现在的 “highlighted word" 是 “家”
是的! 我弄错了。谢谢指正！
I’m confused why cabbage uses 颗 when kē is for small and round objects.
You are using another phrase for 'to have' that I've not seen before. Is there any difference between 'yang3 le' and the more common 'you3' ?
yang3 means "to raise" . You can "raise" pets, chickens, dogs, pigs, etc.
I also had not seem this word before, so I check it out on Yellowbridge:
www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/dictionary.php?word=养&cache=108696
As Eileen said, it means to "raise".
Eileen, we're going to see you&晓峰 still together to discuss any much interesting nowadays or ancient culture topic, aren't we? (I promise I'll do a good child! 👧🏼)
🐺🧝🏼♀️
Interesting many African languages also have these type of counters, I wonder when they evolved in language
How much does this Broccoli Weigh?
not Weight
or you can say, How much is this broccoli's weight
I can't stop loving you, Eileen :)
這個視頻里你長得美妙啊而且你的英語好得進步呀．真了不起啊．
谢谢！就像你们在努力提高汉语一样，我也在努力提高英语。
Great job beautiful woman!

"This mountain's altitude is 3000 kilometers."
Well, that's a BIG mountain!
13:50 anyone notice how they pronounce fiance ?
Hen gan xie Laoshi
51:37 那么多啊！
多一点更有意思，也更容易记住。😄
我想要表达的意思是“三千米”用英语应该是3000 meters或者3 kilometers。3000 kilometers那么高的山太阳系里没有。但是我们当然都明白你的意思没问题。
我明白你的意思了。 啊。。。 我想我又犯了个小错误。It's meant to be 3 kilometers.
没关系，没关系！
