- Chinese dialects may be more than you think! This can explain why many people you encountered in China speak Mandarin with an accent and you could hardly understand. Even two people whose hometown is one hundred kilometers (about 62 miles) apart may not understand each other.

Hi, welcome to ShuoshuoChinese 说说中文; my name is Shuo, I’m a native Chinese teacher living in Bangkok, Thailand, I’ve been teaching Chinese as a foreign language for more than 10 years and I’m also a language learner.
In this channel, I will upload a weekly video, in which I talk about Chinese vocabulary, Chinese grammar, Chinese culture, Chinese stories with pinyin and the English translation for listening practice.
With my channel, you can easily start to learn and understand complicated Chinese grammar, sentence structure, and differences/nuances between similar Chinese words.
If you are a Chinese beginner, I’m planning to upload videos about what Chinese language is, how it differs from English, Chinese pronunciations, Chinese characters and Chinese stroke sequences and a mini Chinese course, (10 minutes per day), which can help you learn quickly and easily. Don’t miss it!
So, subscribe to my channel and start your Chinese learning journey!
Even though I have spent years learning Mandarin 普通话, everywhere I go in China I feel like I have to start learning the language all over again haha
😂
I have been learning for only about 5 years, I started for my boyfriend at that time, now it's more about me... and my husband now of course! But I can't imagine a day where I just know it all and am fluent. I'm okay with that ❤
You have this on many countries in EU also. Like Germany or Italy for example. If there wouldnt be a main language, the people would hardly understand each other. But I heard in china its so wide spreaded different that some linguists would seperate it to languages, not only dialects.
@@blop1343 You are right, other nations have the same issue (including my home the UK to an extent), but I think because of China's immense size and ethnic diversity the issue is the most extreme of anywhere.
Because Cantonese and Teochew and other non-Mandarin Sinitic languages are completely different languages from Mandarin with virtually 0 mutual intelligibility, sort of like a native Russian speaker needing to learn Polish, Czech, Serbian etc before being to converse without difficulty. As a native Cantonese speaker, I understand virtually nothing from Teochew, Xiang or Shanghainese languages. I understand Mandarin only because I learned it during high school.
Well I am Indonesian, and really relate with this... We have completely 700 different languanges... without "bahasa", we will not understand people from difference city... there's saying that the languanges will changes every 60 km when you travel in Indonesia... I and my distant cousin live in the same province but different district... our house just +- 40 km apart... But if she's using her traditional languange I'll not understand a word....
haha interesting. seems it's often in the world. i know this from many places in eu. next village, no way to understand :D
I understand Dwi Yerlis Rahmi. I often visit friends in the Cirebon region on the north coast of Java. There are some villages where have the people speaking Sundanese, the other half speak Javanese (Jawa Cerbon). Many people mix both languages, plus loan words from Arabic and English. It is a very colorful mix! 😊
Saya tinggal di Jakarta, tapi saya tdk bisa bahasa Betawi, Jawa, atau pun Sunda.. Makanya kadang-kadang kalau dengar orang ngomong bahasa itu saya tdk mengerti..
My parents retired to a village 40km away. I only understand about 50% of the local dialect. This is also in northern china, where dialects are considered "mild". Their culture, habit etc are pretty different from us too. I actually enjoy this aspect. Stuff in the US are so standard it's bland.
Keep your culture and dialect alive. Those are invaluable.
@@GamelanSinarSurya thats why our ancestor created Bahasa Indonesia as our national languange....
Actually Bahasa Indonesia is different from other country mother languange that passed down from their ancestor (ie korean, english, chinese, japanese, etc)
In 19th century to united our large and multicultural country with many languages.... We decided using "melayu language" wich often used by trader that time, and adapted some foreign word to our language.
We read word as what its writen, and doesnt has complicated tense.
There's no past and present word type of word.... just at time stamp word like "dulu, kemaren, etc" for past and "besok, nanti, etc" for future.
Its easy to use and to understand.

I love these kinds of dialect videos, this was really funny and informative, thanks!
Me toooo 😭😭
哈哈哈哈 我也会喔！
The 7 “dialects” presented in this video is a bit of a misnomer. Only the speech from Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Henan and Guangxi (even people from parts of Guangxi speak Cantonese natively as well) are considered dialects of each other, as they’re part of the Mandarin/Guan “官” branch of the Sinitic family. All of the other ones from Hunan (湘), Guangzhou (粵), Shantou (閩) are completely different languages (within the Sinitic family), as different as between Russian, Polish, Czech and Serbian. BTW, my native tongue is Cantonese and also speak Mandarin.
Yea I have yet to watch this video and I’m betting it’s gonna be a neat video, but seeing the word “dialect” used whilst seeing Cantonese listed on the screen confused me lol. I’m native to English and don’t truly know much about the Chinese languages, I just know enough that mutual intelligibility between spoken Mandarin and Cantonese is insubstantial to call them dialects. I can’t watch this now but I’m excited to later lol
im fairly certain Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese, as well as the Hunan dialects. i think that they are under the same language of Chinese but are basically different languages because of the large differences.
@@abowlofrice3487 I think the more accurate way of describing it would be Cantonese, Mandarin, Xiang, Hokkien, Shanghainese as distinct languages under the Sinitic language family. There's no such thing as a Chinese language. Written Cantonese vernacular is very different from Mandarin with some differences in grammar as well. Same with written versions of Shanghainese, Hokkien etc. People often mistakenly think there's only one "Chinese language" with "dialects" is because everybody from all provinces in China learn to write in "Standard Chinese", which is actually the written Mandarin vernacular in order to politically unify all the provinces within China.
Main problem... The idea of dialect and language is very political (and probably Euro-centric) , instead of being strictly linguistic. Usually, people refer to Chinese as a language when most of the "dialects" are mutally intelligible. On the other hand, I have never studied Portuguese, but thanks to my Spanish degree, I have always been able to speak Portuguese and watch television in it without subtitles. Yet, Spanish and Portuguese are considered different languages. Since Chinese is considered is considered a language, then everything spoken in China is a dialect, regardless of whether related linguistically or not.
"A language is a dialect with an army and navy"
Really loved this video and hearing the more natural Chinese chatting. I would love if you had a second channel of just chatting with your friends and discussing things etc
Oo that's a really good idea!!
couldn't agree more, finally hearing some actual Chinese
Transcriptions for us beginning learners might not be easy though
I can speak Teochew since my family migrated from Shantou to BKK, so I understand all words Mr. Ron spoke. Hope to see Mr. Ron somewhere in BKK.
I'm also a Teochew as my grandfather migrated from Jieyang to Indonesia. I can understand his Teochew expect for one word, nail.
That was really wholesome and cute and I'm happy you know so many friendly people
Nice to see you all having fun making your video. Congratulations to you all on a job well done.
Thank you! In Nanning during an afternoon meeting, the school's lead (foreign) English Teacher was addressing a room of Chinese English Teachers. During his speech two of the young teachers asked me for clarification as to what he was saying. I replied to them that as a native English speaker, I could only make out a few words but could not comprehend what he was attempting to get across to his staff. Its nice to be on the opposite side of the desk as a student again and learning from you Shou Shou. Thank you!
Absolutely fell in love!!!! Thank you 🙏 so much!!!!!
Loved it!
Looking forward for the next grammar related video!
I loved this. Please, do it more often!
Really really fun and interesting, thank you!
你好！ 我名字是阳福智。我也来自湖南。I am adopted. I loved the video. I am currently taking Chinese in high school. Once I became a US citizen at age six, I had to speak English and later on, my Chinese speaking disappeared, so I guess you can say I am re-learning Chinese

This was a great video. Informative and loads of fun outside of the usual setting. I look forward to more videos like this 😊
Delightful video. I thoroughly enjoyed it ! 👏🏼👏🏼
This was soooo fun!!!!! Hope you can make more videos like this
I had no idea you are from Changsha.
I went their last year (shortly before COVID) and went to see mao ye ye.
The "sexy tea" is the best drink in China :D
I'm actually really glad to have seen this video. I thought the regional dialects were dying out but it's encouraging to see these guys still keep theirs alongside Mandarin.
Shuoshuo, your editing on these videos is great!
As a chinese&teochew native speaker... I feel so proud cause I can understand them ahahaha
I'm guessing Ron's dialect would be very close to your Teochow dialect. Were 欣欣, Shuo or 跑跑 any easier to understand than the others? How did you go with 小敏's dialect samples?
My great grandfather speaks Teochew and I was happy to see a native Teochew speaker as there seems not to be many around.
太棒了 很好的练习。感谢您！
I'm a Cantonese and Tiociu speaker from Indonesia. Great to hear both languages represented here :)
I enjoyed this video not to mention you look like you were all having fun so it makes it fun for the learner as well. It will takes time to learn all the different nuances of a language, regional speech, dialects, accents, speed of the language spoken, cultural differences, etc. Just when you think you mastered understanding a standard form of speaking or textbook Mandarin, the native speakers throw a curve ball at you. Keeps it interesting and fun.
Loved this video! Hilarious but also educational!!
More of these, please! All the best from Spain!
I love it!
If possible next time it would be amazing to hear different dialects, for example Guizhou dialect
Hi Shuo Shuo, thanks for making & sharing this really Cool & FUN video! It showed the casual & real conversational languages in action. Do make more of such videos. ขอบคุณมากครับ :)
When XinXin said LAJI... I busted out laughing. This video is so great 😂😂
Loved this As I watch a lot of different people amd they do use slightly different sayings this was very helpful
my moms side of the family is from guangxi and my dads side is from guangdong so it’s cool to hear the two different dialects!! loved this video!!
This was so fun!
Omg, I loved that even with my super begginner level of Chinese I laughed a lot with this video. I think it would have been the same even if I wasn't interested in the language at all and just came across this random thing. Really funny, and very interesting and good friends. Thank yo!u!!
The girl to the right is sooo funny! She’s screaming at u all the time 😂
Hi, I love Chinese languages. I went to Chinese class before and now I can speak some Mandarin. Your video is really entertaining :D I love it
..,? ? ?? Hello, I am a widow, I want to know more about you. ...Add me on WeChat add me on WeChat. My ID is: Dx091568
A mix of Chinese languages and mandarin dialects . But in Chinese mindset they are all dialects .
I want more of this!!!!!
This was really cheerful! I've already heard of liao za lie!
很有趣，谢谢你们！
I could watch these all day
More of these please
Haha so funny! I love how Cantonese sounds :)
Fun to watch while learning ❤️
love thisss. i love dialects
very interesting and such a nice atmosphere :3
this was soo fun to listen too. good for my listening skills
This is great!!!
Wow that was fun!
You and your friends are great 🙏🙏
I wish you make your all video with your friends . that was awesome😆
Good job, continue video
Lol! This was really interesting to watch!!!😆😄
Wow I wasn't expecting understand and hearing my dialect this makes me so happy because this is so rarely represented in Chinese videos that I am sometime questioning if I really am Chinese sometimes since I do not speak mandarin fluently
Maybe you are not a "real chinese" but a real habitant of your local language, what even sounds more unique and interesting.
@@blop1343 You're right! I never saw in that perspective ^^ It is kind of sad because my whole childhood I kept questioning my origins and felt really alone when I wanted to make friends/speak in my language since I had a hard time learning Mandarin (and still have since I am not fluent at all)
@@xinliu789 什麽是你的方言?
@@xWHITExEAGLEx 我们家说潮州话！^^
I think people who can speak a dialect have a great advantage, he/she not only can talk with most Chinese people, but also can talk with local people kindly.
Honestly, I envy them who can speak with dialect.
You are so funny, guys
I like this video ❤️
omg more videos with teochew dialects please
This was amaziiiiing
Loved this! It's amazing to me, as a Cantonese speaker, how different Shantou sounds to Cantonese despite being so near!
Also, Hunan dialect sounds crazy too.
Because Teochew language is not even part of the Yue branch (Cantonese/Taishanese etc) but part of the Southern Min branch of the Sinitic language family.
I think there are parts of Guandong that speak Minnan instead of Cantonese. As an overseas Chinese that speaks Hokkien, logically my ancestors should be from Fujian, but they actually from Guangdong.
@@roroforo5092 That would be the Teochew language (part of Southern Min branch). Lots of Hongkongers with ancestors from Shantou region of Guangdong province.
Well they were separate countries
@@ahenrycc84 It's not just Teochew, but also Luichew in western Guangdong. There are pockets of Min speakers all around Guangdong (particularly the coasts) such as in Maoming, Zhongshan, Huizhou, etc. In fact, Min peoples were some of the first places to these coastal regions like Zhongshan and Macau. It's just that they are in smaller numbers, so Cantonese is seen as more native.
I am hokkian ( fujian ) but i only can understand mandarin lol i really love the video like this ! Support and keep make a good content more all guys
Why can't you understand Hokkien ua?
Rely interesting. Thanks. In Italy is also like that: we have lots of “dialects” and without standard Italian (since 1860’s and spread out thanks to radio and TV) we wouldn’t be able to communicate with each other)
italy, germany, spain, france, russia, many other countries; india, indonesia, philippines..... when is something a language vs a dialect vs something in between?
If you can't understand the other person it is not a dialect, it's another language. Even if the government pretends that everyone speaks Chinese.
A really interesting video. I thoroughly enjoyed it！ 唔係垃圾啦！😄 👍
Hahahahah love this video!
I am so glad to see these kids are having a great time with their different dialects.
Kids ! Loooooooool
I lived in east malaysia so i could relate to this. It's not just dialect but we speak a different languages too.
It was really funny! Super!
I'm so sorry I just noticed the ironing board at the back and I burst out laughing without any particular valid reason AHAHAHAHAH
They are going to iron their clothes in the living room . As that is the most spacious room in the place.
The tongue twister was so funny 😂
This is great! Pls do showcase more Chinese dialects. So interesting to see how the dialects could have evolved
本期视频真不错，你多拍这种视频啊！
So FUN!! Your videos are always fun, but this is a different, social ambient so it makes the scene even greater! Have you ever thought about doing more videos about Chinese, not necessarily with the same people (they are fine, maybe they just can't be there every single day!) but in a more relaxed environment? It could be something to explore, if you feel like it. Well done! :D
Waaa... 小敏 is my Chinese nickname.. nice to know you another 小敏
wow, our family are 华侨人 and the 汕头 dialect is so similar to our dialect, 闽南话! 十分有趣的！
depending on the subdialect, 勺子 is shuo in shaanxi. mostly old downtown xian subdialect
太棒了!
It was fun 😁
With those Ferrero Rochers, you were really spoiling them 😁
When???
very fun vid, :)
这样的视频真的有意思，第一个原因就是 我们可以听到更自然，当地的中文，然后还可以学一些关于方言的小知识。谢谢老师，请你多拍这样的视频
Complete differant dialects called languages
Funny video and
the non-dialect parts were super easy to understand, didnt read most of the subtitles
说老师，您好！我是一个从越南的粉丝。今天看了这个视频才知道你是湖南长沙人。哇塞！感觉好亲切啊，因为我几年前在长沙读研究生。现在是一名汉语老师，我从你的视频学到很多教学技能。你真的很棒，非常感谢你给那么多人带来那么好的帮助！！
this is was so fun to watch and to learn new words I'm cantonese and white learning mandarin first and I want to learn cantonese next so I love seeing the comparisons!!
I am teochew from Indonesia. I speak Teochew & Mandarin
What a great group of fun young people! It is so interesting to hear the different dialects, especially the contrast from north to south dialect. Thank goodness you have Mandarin so you can all understand each other. But it’s also great that the different dialect traditions are preserved. 谢谢你 😊
Cantonese is dying in canton
This was hilarious, I smiled the whole time
雞🐔那邊超好笑🤣
垃圾也好好笑哈哈哈

@@GraceMandarinChinese Glad we learned 哈哈 recently :)
@@docfrayon Yeah! 🥳
6:51 太好笑! 😂
Yellowbridge says that, @ 1:17, nail (finger nail 指甲 ) is pronounced "zhǐjia" , NOT zhǐjiǎ.
I have noticed that when you add two chinese words together, to make a compound word, the 2nd word often becomes a neutral tone.
I love this content !
Shantou dialect is work in Bangkok! Most of Chinese immigrants in Thailand are Teochew (Chaozhou) speaker.
I'm not sure whether Shantou and Chaozhou language are 100% same or not.
Teochew is a subgroup of southern Min which includes Hokkien, Teochew, Hainan dialects which are intelligible to each other.
Boss battle tier chinese skills to sit amongst them and effectively participate if you are non native.
i bought yoyochinese bundle, was wondering how to access your course? love ur videos!
I will send you the coupon code when Yoyo Chinese send me the buyers’ emails
I m 2nd gen foochow (fuzhou) in Malaysia. Somehow my dialect sounds totally different from all of you! Also I have never heard how fuzhou in China sound like.
Fuzhou dialect is a part of northern Min subgroup. Shantou/Teochew and Hokkien are parts of southern Min subgroup. The northern Min subgroup is not intelligible with the southern Min.
I hope you will make a video about daily activities !!!
How to add your wechat without the Id😭 can’t find you through “shuoshuochinese”
Yea I noticed that depending where u live ppl say the same words differently , it's like word Play some say it as Wan some like War , it's Roy interrsting
我猜了是窗户的意思哈哈哈哈
Does Ron teach Teochew?
Cheers 🥂
I've been learning Mandarin for a year but still not good 😅this video is interesting
