I did middlebury for two summers of Chinese. Both summers created some of my best memories and met amazing people. Without middlebury, no exaggeration, I don't think I would have had the foundation and confidence to continue to learn Chinese once I got to China. It's a lifelong process for non-native speakers, and having an awesome foundation and program, like middlebury, is really the game changer.
Thank you both for these conversations. It must be a lot of work to subtitle them!
Haha making subtitles takes forever indeed…but it’s worth the time and effort as long as you all find it helpful😊🙌
@@RitaChinese Super helpful! In addition to the interesting content, I got a lot of good listening practice out of it as well. I think I can reuse these a few more times, actually.
I just recently learned about the Middlebury program, about 2 weeks ago, and have been looking up information ever since. I've started an application for the Chinese, but don't know if I'll be able to ever attend. I'm glad I came across this interview to learn more.
Enjoyed the entire video! Thank you for your efforts to bring this to us.
My pleasure! Glad you liked the video🙌
Another great video. At 70, I'm too old now, but I sure wish I had become interested in Mandarin as a young man.
Uh uh. Never too old. Try it!
I think it largely depends on having a decent memory, otherwise the uptake will be slower. If don't have severe memory problems, you should give it a try!
you're never too old to start learning, i think there's a polyglot around the same age as you who started learning languages after he retired. learning languages improves brain function and memory so even if you happen to have a poor memory right now your memory will improve after a couple of months. it's a great way to pass time too
One thing I’ve learned by watching all these polyglots on RUclips, there is not one of them that started as a child. The math we used to hear that you could only learn languages really well the younger you are, is a myth. That’s all it is. If you immerse yourself in the language, and have fun with it so that you can commit to it in the long-haul, you can learn and learn very well. Just remember you need more than one resource to learn and to practice. It’s about living the language as much as you can, through audio sources, video, sources, and reading and writing materials. Exercise books, conjugation books, verb books and dictionary‘s, as well as language apps. I rely primarily on language apps, but they are not the only things I use.
又是干货满满的一期！谢谢Rita老师和Mairead的分享！❤
明德是我梦寐以求的学校，可惜去年拿到了部分奖学金学习口译，但最后剩余的学费没凑齐就没能去，希望以后还有机会去😊
Wooow, it was a very very interesting and inspiring video serie...really Thank You very much, Rita, for your effort doing it for us!❤😊 I can't imagine how tough was to do the subtitles, but without it, I personally couldn't understand much about this interesting conversation. Really enjoyed it! Wish you they best!😊
This was the school that produced Gabe Wyner (the 'fluent-forever' guy). He became fluent in German in 12 weeks or so there. I might give it a try if I'm opportuned... not for Mandarin though😀.
我真喜欢你的频道！ 每次看你的影片都会学到好多东西 😊 你真的很棒！ 你有一对一的课吗？ 很佩服你们两个。
很开心你喜欢我的视频！我现在不怎么教一对一课了，马上要开学了、新的发音训练营也要开始了，太忙😅你有什么问题欢迎随时问！
这种视频真的有意思！谢谢你们俩的真知灼见 😊
ooh the next part!
Yeah Part 3 is here!!
The perfect chinese accent eh? I wanna sound just like Uncle Roger when i grow up lol jk I know you didn't mean english :O)
😆
Clickbait title...
apparently, Rita uses TA as a third person pronoun instead of 他
personally, I think the chinese language should just get rid of 她 and 它 and 祂 and 牠
TA1 should really refer 他 and that character can be used on men and women, as it did in *Dream of the Red Chamber*
right now, it is merely internet lingo, and honestly I hope that it will remain that way because using TA to reflect English *they* is the stupidest thing ever
let English be English with all those English problems, let Chinese be Chinese
人 was once mistranslated into English as 'man', but now we realize that it is genderless
also, the correct character of Ta1 should be 他, and it is genderless
