Chinese Listening Practice With A NATURAL Tone and Speed: I've never said "I love you."

- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- In this video, I'm mainly chatting with you guys and sharing my recent thoughts. I used a more natural tone and speed, and I haven't specifically chosen easy vocabulary for Chinese learners. If your Chinese is at an intermediate level, you should be able to roughly understand what I'm saying and learn some new expressions from it.
You can use this video for listening and shadowing practice, and you can also share your thoughts in the comments. It would be great if you can share your ideas in Chinese, as it will help you practice discussing deeper topics in Chinese.

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!
Your note from your mom made me cry!!! I agree with another commenter, my Western parents said "I love you" constantly to me growing up, but it was never backed up by action or real encouragement. To know that your parents supported you this much even when you went against medical school is just the most amazing thing. I would take THIS over "I love you" any day!
I'm Dutch and if I told my parents I love them, they would definitely think something was wrong or I was dying XD. We just never say these things out loud. There are other ways to express love than just saying the words. Saying words is easy. Showing love through actions and care is much harder and more meaningful.
This video and your previous one with your mom are very helpful for learning real-life Chinese listening skills. The topic was very touching.
Damn…. That was beautiful, you must have a great relationship with your parents, I’m envious.
你好，说说中文-老师。我学中文学了六个月或者七个月了。我觉得最近我的进步慢了一点。 而且每次我试一下跟我的同事聊天，我只听懂一半他们说什么。
我已经花了很多时间练习我的听力。我以为我的听力还是不够。
其实我的听力已经能够了。 大部分这个视频我听得懂。 我还有很多中文我听不懂，但是我的中文的水平能够看这个视频。
你的故事让了我很感动。
多谢你分享你的经验而感觉。
In life, there are people who easily feel happy when being praised by others and unhappy when being criticized by others. These people put their own happiness into the hands of other people.
你的視頻讓我哭了.我也從來沒有對我的父母說過我愛你.
我是中国人，我也爱看你的视频因为你爱用很易懂的表达和句式，很棒很有意思
也爱看 Vaush 的频道
It's cultural. In the west, I feel the words are used too loosely and too often that it can lack sincerity. For me, actions speak louder than words. Your parents are awesome.
I really liked this type of video and your parents sound so lovely! I say "I love you" to my parents probably every time I talk to them. It's kinda just something you say like at the end of a phone call or when saying good bye. I hadn't thought of what it might be like to grow up in a culture where you don't say it, but it's clear from your stories of them and your emotion in the video that not saying it doesn't mean you don't love each other. In fact you can see it in the clear actions of your parents, and like what some other people are saying, I think the actions that show you love someone are more important at any rate.
I agree with what you said about how communication and encouragement are more important in a parent-child relationship than those three words. My parents often said “I love you” to me, but I wasn’t able to believe them because of the other aspects of our relationship that were very difficult.
视频太棒了！非常有用。谢谢老师！最近我对我父母说 “我爱你” 因为我们好久没见面了。 除了这没见面的时间，我很少地对他们说了“我爱你”😅
Your parents sound like amazing people,” Jiang Hai Shi Lao De La “. They must be very proud of you.❤🇨🇦
For love, actions are more important than words! Great video!
We can learn the most about someone's true character when they experience difficulties. Without difficulties, how can we know if someone has any virtues?
Even though we didn't use to say I love you very often in my family, I agree that there was no doubt about the love between our parents and us children (or vice versa), but since I've been with my husband I've grown to appreciate the value of saying and hearing "I love you" daily. In my husband's family, they say I love you to each other all the time and It was very strange for me hearing him say it to me so often in the beginning. In time, though, it bacame more and more normal and, because of that, I started saying it to my parents and my mei mei and it was strange for them in the beginning too, but then I started hearing it from them also and, well, my experience is that it's really nice. It's good to say it. It's good to hear it. It's strange and awkward when it's not always been done (for the many reasons that people may have for not saying it), but I really recommend it. Someone has to be the one to start saying it... be brave. It's okay if we don't hear it back, but if we feel it, we should express it, especially if it's a good feeling, that's my opinion nowadays.
Good format! It would be great to get from you more videos without English, with normal speed and natural language. Good continuation in your job!
Sweet sentiment!
On a totally random side note, this is the first video I've ever found with the PERFECT subtitle layout, where you have one language at the far top and the other on the far bottom! Typically, I understand 80-90% of the Chinese and just need the English translation for 1 or 2 characters/pairs, but I find that when the English and Chinese are right on top of each other (which is what you see on most videos), I tend to just read one or the other, apparently because there is too much cognitive load for to switch gears when they are so close to each other. In the past, I thought the solution was to look for a website or program that displayed only the Chinese but allowed you to hover over specific characters if you needed the translation for just those few characters.
But watching this video just made me realize that your layout achieves exactly what I need and without the hassle of hovering! I mainly read the Chinese at the top but glanced down to check the English if there was a word or two I didn't recognize. Something about the separation made the cognitive switch easier. I really hope you continue to do videos with this subtitle format!
It’s an excellent video that points out a very fundamental cultural difference between east and west in the way we (in the west) verbalize (over verbalize) our emotions. Thank you for sharing your personal story and deep deep feelings for your parents. This is a universal story that touches the heart which makes learning Mandarin very effective.
Hello Shuoshuo laoshi. Thank you for sharing your story while simultaneously teaching us your beautiful language. This video made me very emotional. And when you got to the letter, I was struggling not to cry and keep it together. I come from a culture (the Latino culture) where saying I love you to our parents or our parents saying it to us is not a strange thing to hear. At least in my immediate family. You have awesome parents indeed! And you seem to be a reflection of who they are. Thank you for teaching us, Mandarin.
Ps: I know you are learning Spanish. I'm a native spanish speaker. Let me know if you need a friend to practise with😊
I am mongolian from the north. I feel honestly very similar about my family. Very touching video!
Amazing video ❤ Would love to see more content like this that discusses feelings and relationships. Also love it that you made it in a natural tone and speed.
Thank you, I really enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences in Chinese too! Will do more in the future!
I love you Shuoshuo, for the first time in a long time i feel inspired by someone and i feel like i can trust you, i think you are very special and real and good person i hope i am like you and if not hope i'll become like you
Love ❤
What a lovely video, thank you. You and your parents are lucky to have each other, love and support each other. All the very best to you and your family ❤❤❤
This video was amazing, I loved how you kept talking about one topic so I always knew the context! Pls keep doing these
Lovely. I enjoyed listening to this video. I understood everything you said. I hope there will be more similar posts at this normal natural speaking speed. I wish you well.
非常厲害的視頻，Shuo老師！對我們學習中文很有幫助，而且是一個很動人的話題。我跟你一樣，從來沒說過對我父母我愛你這三個字，原因是差不多跟你一樣。感謝你，希望你會考慮將來做更多此類的視頻！
好的！很开心你们喜欢😊
These kinds of videos are perfect for my level! Please make more!
What a beautiful, moving story you told!
Thank you so much for expressing your emotions and love like that. I feel the same about my parents as they are pretty old. Every time i leave the house im afraid ill never see them again. Your video got me into the tears.
Thank you for such an amazing heart-felt video!
Very thankful for that helpful video
这一集好暖心。忍不住跟着你一起流泪。理解你❤加油！Shuo好好享受和家人一起的时光。
This kind of video is perfect for me. I'm British, in our culture we can also be quite avoidant of being too direct or expressing our emotions, but in my family we al grew up expressing them directly, so I tel my brothers, my sister, and my mum and dad that I love them. :)
yeah i do like this kind of video, don't stop your teaching but it is cool to know something about your thoughts like this.
Thanks for sharing your feelings! Your parents are great people.
I grew up in a middle class English-speaking South African home in the 60’s and 70’s, and it was the same- we never said ‘I love you’ to each other, although we did love each other very much.
I’m really impressed by your candidness and how you open up to your RUclips audience. Just one thing I don’t understand: if you never doubted that your parents loved you, why did you feel that insecurity about the possibility of them leaving you?
You’re a very smart woman, doing such great work and earning well from it. Well done!
Linguistically this kind of video is good, for the listening practice, and actually 10 minutes is a good amount.
And also, I think it’s nice that you talk about this kind of thing.
Wow this video is really immersive!
I appreciate Chinese culture even more now, thanks for sharing these thoughts with us
I loved the lesson. 😊
蠻感動的! 我覺得這是看人，看家庭的。我在美國長大但不常跟我爸爸媽媽說『我愛你』，在我們家那會覺得一點尷尬。大多時候，擁抱他們一下就充分表達我的愛。🙂
I love your videos so much. You helped me learn about mandarin and chinese culture thank you 😊
看过这个视频以后我感动一点，很很好的视频，感谢你
Thank you for sharing such deep insights and personal feelings, your parents definitely love you, as they demonstrate that support and trust to you, definitely you have wonderful parents… I am as a 68 father and grandfather deeply impressed.
I really like this type of video and hope you can do more please
Your Videos help me so very much to learn chinese !!!😊❤
我也支持你 ! You're one of the best RUclipsr 😊
哇啊我很喜欢那种的视频！❤它们让我的中文进步很快！😊
这样的影片我觉得特别有帮助来学习口语，还有今天的内容很动人 谢谢老师分享～
Thank you! Tears in my eyes.
Thank you Shuo Laoshi....for me, if you're not used to saying "I love you" then express it through your actions, even as your parents gives you advice, they are already expressing their love for you...for everyone, appreciate or express your gratefulness to your parents while they are still alive ❤🙏🏼
I am a berber (amazigh) from North Africa which is an old civilization, i completely understand your relationship with ur parents because we're very similar
我非常喜欢这样的视频，谢谢！！我是俄罗斯人，我也不太习惯对父母说“我爱你”，但是我说过了 哈哈。你的看法很有意思！我认为只要大家都舒服就好了 :)
Very touching.
谢谢你做这个视频! 是一个非常touching的故事, 有天有一定有这种我现在跟父母的关系. 真的想appreciate他们是特别人. 说实话我试试不想到一个他们不在的世界,但是重要很早意识到他们是怎么棒啊. 让我了解那个"爱"有什么意思. 不管跟家庭,女朋友,朋友之类 有这么多办法爱
น้ำตาซึมเลยค่า
What a wonderful story. 😢😊
我真的喜欢这个视频。 你将一个有意思故事，用汉语。所以我可以进步我的听力。
Ghosh, you pushed them a bit? One would have described you as 'rebellious' at that stage. But that unconditional support kept you discovering your world - and you're not doing too badly at it. Thank you for the kindness to share this. Best wishes.
Muchas gracias, Shuo, por tu sinceridad al tratar estos temas emocionales de forma tan natural. Espero que tu español siga progresando, hasta otra.
Sí, puedo entender todo de tu comentario. :))
I think saying this phrase is very personal and also cultural, some cultures say it more than others but also if you want to say it or not is finally down to the individual.
My mum often used to say 'I love you' at the end of phone calls and I always felt pressured to say 'I love you too' This made me feel extremely uncomfortable, not because I don't love my mum but I felt that I should chose to say it and not be forced to say it. I think after a while and many awkward conversations later, my mum doesn't say it as much and when she does, she's not expecting me to say it back. But I have told my mum I love her on occasions and I feel that I show it, I know that she'll not be on this earth for a long a time now so I make time to spend quality time with her even though I'm extremely busy with my career and study and just living my life. I think she knows but I'll make an effort to say it occasionally too because I know the words mean much to her too.
Are you going to share this video with your mom and dad? Although there is a lot of variation in the USA, my family is more like yours. In fact, the words seem trivial to me compared with behavior that demonstrates love. I think expressing worry is more the way we expressed our love outside of actions. My parents have been gone for almost 10 years now. Treasure yours! PS: I was so excited to hear you use 之一 . I just learned it, but I haven't heard anyone say it before! This is a lovely video.
真的很感动
That was such a cute story!
我会说我爱你。我的父母告诉我“我爱你”所以我觉得舒服告诉他们。别人可能不是舒服说我爱你。我觉得这是还行如果他们的孩子们知道他们有爱
your mom is a really good person
Explain it very clearly.now I lived in zhuzhou,hunan.my generation and your generation same.i came from Bangladesh.Bangladeshi Culture also same.we doesn’t express our love to parents by ‘I love you’. But Recent generation doesn’t understood it and doesn’t feel it.this three sentences actual meaning 😢.still now my father working for us.giving to me lot of money.i want to tell this three sentences but I can’t. Really it’s very difficult.
I spent about a month living in Changsha several years ago and it was one of the best culinary experiences of my life! 不吃辣椒的人不是革命者! If you have not already done so, please do a video on Hunanese cuisine - or why not a video on each of the eight cuisines? Would love to watch that!
我喜欢这样的视频
老师好!
谢谢你的很有意思的视频! 谢谢你，我的汉语水平提高了.
I really like the fact that you don't put the pinyin! it forces me to look at the characters, and read them
这对我很大的帮助! 你用中文有名表达，这让我提高了.
你的个性很有趣!
我还是中文学生 - 对不起我回答很有多的错误。
很多谢您叙述您的父母的真大的爱心。又说句子 ”我爱你“，这件不能让孩子感觉亲情。对本人的，听说 ”我爱你“，“我想你”，“希望你都舒服还有很开心“ ，这么句子都帮助我感觉很好的，安全，爱。偎，拉个手，拥抱 都一般。有时候我对自己疑虑不安，所以这件事情对我非常好。我妈妈对我最好的，可是常常他忘记怎么帮助我感觉好起来。甜甜说，拥抱，这件事情对于她没有很多意思。她信为他人做工作是真爱。我生活的全，她工作给我一切。我们是美国人，所以我会彼此说 ”我爱你“，全没有尴尬，害羞。时候她不知道怎么安慰我，但是因为她为我从来工作努力给我好事情，我一定感觉她爱我。
我想了有意思，时候你说了你不可以告诉父母 “我爱你” 因为你的关系不平等的。我常常说我妈妈是我的最好的朋友，因为我们一起好玩，工作，讨论问题。可是你对的啊！我们的关系不平等的。虽然我现在长大的，我从来不能报答她。我觉得美国文化不认识这么意思。
又说啊，谢谢您教我怎么你的文化一边有大亲情一边没有说出口了。
PS。你去过天心去在长沙里吗？我的中文名字是孔天心啦！
谢谢你
Good video ❤❤❤
我非常喜欢这种类型的视频！🙂 Maybe other viewers have different opinions, but I think it would be even better if the english subtitles were optional (for example, you can turn them on or off using the captions button)- I find that if english subtitles are on a video my brain subconsciously wants to read them instead of the hanzi, so when watching this video I covered the bottom of the screen which had the english subtitles with my hands to make sure I didnt read the english to help with understanding you 🤣
Great letter, Great parents = Great daughter who is beautiful inside and outside. Actions speak louder than words, so you don't have to say I love you, if you are speaking loud and clear "I love you" through your actions. However, they say that the pen is mightier than the sword, this is because words are also powerful. So the moral of the story is to have the best of both world's and that would be “speech acts” and “performative utterances”. To say I love you in words and in actions. When you don't take anything for granted, you will be more open to do it all just because, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. A penny for your thoughts, what do you think will have the most impact on your parents? a) If you say to them, I love you everyday for two continual weeks before you leave to go about your day. b) If you are silent, and just give them a (hug-squeeze) for two minutes for two continual weeks before you leave to go about your day. c) If you say "I love you", and give them a (hug-squeeze) for two minutes, for two continual weeks before going about your day, and then asked them which of these did they enjoy the most. Would it be A, B, or C?...lol 💯%👈I think [C] would be the winner...Sometimes it's fair to say, we may not miss what we don't have. Letters, voice-mails or any audio recording, pictures and videos of our love ones are so precious, and become precious treasures when they are gone. Never take life for granted, express your love in word and in action...Thank you for sharing this awesomely amazing content... May the MOST HIGH YAH blessings continue to guide you and your loved ones with peace, wellness and prosperity. 🙏💜🙏
Pls try to make these kinds of videos...❤
谢谢你的分享。我外公也是这样，从来不说 我爱你 三个字，他都会用行为，而不是话，来表达对我们的爱。
这样的视频对练习中文听力很有帮助，我只有一个小小的意见。你在视频里面说 "unpopular opinion", “controversial”，我理解你可能在生活中也是这样说的，不过在视频里用中文说法，我觉得还是好一点，"不受欢迎的..."，“很矛盾的...”，这样听众可以学会新的词汇等等~
You have a very smart mom, telling you the right things at the right moment. That's wonderful. I lived several years in China- Shenzhen and Suzhou- and I really miss it living there, but my feeling was, Chinese people consider much more thinking twice about what they say to others to stay respectful and not to hurt other people in any way. In western cultures, I guess unfortunately, people are very direct often and later maybe even regret what they said, but they already did. That didn't happen in China. Although sometimes it was a little bit hard, because I was working as technical teacher and quality manager there, after I adjusted to the Chinese way, it became hard for me to tell workers they didn't do their work right or they made mistakes. So I always had to think twice, how to tell them, without making them lose face. A bit difficult for working situations but wonderful relationships between humans there.
我非常想中国 ❤️🇨🇳😍❤️
This is lovely 🥰
@@ShuoshuoChinese Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪❤️🇨🇳 😃✌️ I really miss China a lot. The street food, the evenings with my Chinese friends, KTV, 烧烤, hanging around in 星巴克, and many other things. But I had to return because of some family issues, unfortunately. So for long time already I watch your channel to improve my Chinese, although my Chinese is indeed very poor. You are doing a great job in your videos. Keep it up. I learned so much from you. Thank you very much . 谢谢喔
@@ShuoshuoChineseBy your video here I have to remember one situation in China: I wanted to say something about crying, but I didn't know the word for it, so I said 我的眼睛下雨 and she said, oh, now I understand- this sounds like poetry 🥰
这个视频真不错。
Based on what you said you have great parents 😊
This is so sweet. :) Makes me miss my parents lol
说老师, 我真的可能明白你啊
Teacher Shou, I can really understand you! kml
This helps me understand my Chinese girlfriend. I opened up my Dad to saying it more often. It’s what we say to our parents when saying goodbye on the phone or leaving for a while. You never know when you will have the chance to express this again. Perhaps my girlfriend and I will influence each other for the better. Now, the guy who took my $26,000 and didn’t do the work, yeah, no. He’s toast.
Wo ai ni 😇❤️
There really is a very big cultural gap. Even though those words aren't everything, to me it's so normal to say I love you, and for my mom to tell me all the time. Of course, it has to be backed by action. As for me personally, my love language is words of affirmation, so if they never said it, I'd get really insecure and anxious.
I try to tell my mom "I love you" every single day because there will come a time when I won't be able to.
❤
我是俄罗斯人, 我也有很老的父母， 我也不能说“我爱你“ 。他们也不说但是我们都知道。
As someone who has to live faraway from family and friends i can relate 😢
If there is anyone want to practice Chinese，plz contract me！because I need to improve my English skills. So let us make progress together 😊
你能说“ 我爱爸爸 ！我爱妈妈 ！“
Is there a Chinese equivalent of "actions speak louder than words"? 如果有人说我爱你，我会怕谎言。人用行为表示他的爱，我才能相信。
我们巴基斯坦人跟你们中国人一样。并不会直接表示爱。
这个视频呢，让我非常动人。🙏
老师，多谢你分享这个很有用和感人的视频。内容很有意思，而我有一个问题。作为西方人我总是拥抱我的我的朋友。我不知道中国人是否有拥抱朋友的习惯。我听说在朋友之间拥抱并不是常见的习惯，但我从来没听说过在中国这种习惯是否常见。
Me and you have the same fear, and i try not to think about it coz it almost happened when i was still studying in China. So when I visit them at home, I spend more time in the house with them. I tell my mom i love her more than i do with my father, because my father thinks im joking when i say that😂
哈哈，看来我们的国家文化是一样的
@@ShuoshuoChinese I agree🤣
我爱你妈妈
说，我们巴西人爱你！
I can’t said 我爱你 to my 老师 because I’m scared to loose She 😬
Can you put the English and Mandarin subtitles on top of each other instead of on opposite sides of the screen? That would help me as a learner to associate the characters with the English translations easier. Thanks!
Ahh I thought this could help people more focus on the Chinese characters.
@@ShuoshuoChinesei like it how it is now!
No, this is perfect the way it is, otherwise my eyes would be tempted to read the English translation below !
