I’m not learning Chinese but I’m actually learning korean, I was just curious on how other people wanted to learn Chinese and so far Chinese actually looks fun to learn! Good luck to anyone learning any language 😉
I tried learning Korean just cause and I was like 'nope I'm out' and saw this video and I was like 'time for me to flex my abilities on the chinese language😈'
I'm here actually because of "Hanja" (Literally Chinese characters) in Korean. But, learning hanja prompted me to learn more of chinese. I'm loving it! Good work for you too to learn 한국어. Much love from Brazil! :D

Some of the pinyin is incorrect. Like pig should be zhu. Also, pay attention to intonation accuracy, like ask should be wen4, pig should be zhu1, prince should be wang2 zi3.
The picture for "king" did not capture the real meaning of the character 王. In ancient China, the emperor claims to be the son of god, connecting heaven, earth, and people. The three horizontal line represents heaven, earth and people, the vertical line connects the three, hence the character 王. This character was not created from the shape of the object like 人, but the philosophical meaning of the object
thank you for this more elevated explanation ! I doubt I could now ever forget the character for king !! PS. I simply love how so many of the words have stories attatched to them, it makes them much easier to remember and also lots of fun to learn new ways of thinking about objects!
***** Well ，you probably ask for the difference of “人人” and “大家”. the exact meaning of “大家” is “all of you/all of us”.“人人”means“each of us”. we often say “大家好”in chinese and“hello,everyone"in english otherwise what we say"人人都通过了测试” means “everyone passed the exam” therefore .both “人人” and “大家”are translated to “everyone”. Hope that can help you.
Hahaha I always feel it's somewhat subjective which is a reason why this is difficult. Someone told me it's the tigers markings because the tiger is the king of the forest.
I made up this method for myself when I started studying Mandarin, however it does get harder once you get into more complicated characters. Plus there's forming sentences, pronounciation and so on. But it does help in the beginning of you have a big imagination I guess.
Me : I've learnt some chinese words, now I know several words like tomorrow, prison, and woods Friend : really? What's prison in chinese Me : it's a cow under a roof 😌 Friend : uh... what's the chinese word? Me : You silly, I just told you! 🙄
That material is not enough whatsoever. Learning a language is not only about learning words individually, it encompasses a myriad of things. This is an oustanding way to learn but for children, what about adults? It may introduce you a 2 percent of the language, is it what you really want to?
Hi, so glad you like the lesson. We have more video lessons in the Chineasy app. It's free to download and the first 8 levels are free to play. Give it a try! :) iOS: apps.apple.com/gb/app/chineasy-cards/id1318941705 Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chineasy.cards&hl=en_US&gl=US

I'm mexican and I've been thinking about learning another language but after this video definitely I'll study chinese, it's very interesting, this way of teaching is very smart and professional at the same time. This is a real entrepreneurial vision! :)
Great way to start off! Very helpful! Note that as you get to harder words, this does not apply as much and some are a stretch. While some characters are like this, they are in the minority! :) By the way, if you are curious, more traditional characters look like what they represent than simplified. So take that into account when deciding which to learn Ex: turtle Traditional : 龜 Simplified : 龟 This is great though and is a great starting point!
對外國人學中文最有效和理想的方法是由學繁體中文開始, 因為大多數繁體中文字都是由2000多年前的中國文字不斷進化並演變至今, 是極具歷史價值的,相反簡體字只有很短暫的歷史. 再者, 學習繁體字不但令你對傳統中文字有更深入的理解,而且可以更透徹知道字體背後的創造原意. 可是, 為了書寫方便快捷, 大多簡體中文字的構造都被刪減, 甚至假借普通話同音或近音的字,完全失去原有的意思, 因此, 外國人會很難透過想像事物的形狀外貌猜想簡體字的意思,令學習中文更加困難. It's better and beneficial for foreigners to start by learning traditional Chinese at the beginning because the present characters in TS have been widely used and greatly evolved for at least 2000 years, but simplified Chinese only has a very short history. Not only can you better learn more original characters, but also deeply understand the initial creation meaning of each of them . Yet, in SC, most of the characters lose their original meaning and you are hardly to guess the characters by directly imagining the shape or appearance of that stuff. As a result, you may feel exhausted in learning Chinese through SC. So , I supporting learning TS in spite of its more complicated formation. I've a great passion for learning English and French too!!!! Hong Konger's comment
These characters are Chinese characters, It is used in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. When we speak, we are divided into Mandarin and Cantonese. But it's the same in terms of writing.
me: 'not being able to remember characters for tree, person, fire etc' Chinese is hard *sees 王* me: OMG that's Wang, see I know every Chinese character, haha
Everybody gangsta until you learn that: 糖 means "sugar" 赢 means "To win" 蔬菜 means "vegetables" 警察 means "police officer" Pretty easy to write them, ngl ;)

Well, i really fancy chinese custome. I watch chinese movies, shows. I listen Chinese music. I read Chinese novel. It will be so weird if i don't study chinese for better experience
I have started learning Chinese Mandarin a while a go with several Apps and online courses. Chineasy brought me forward much faster any other App. the real difference is the methodology they use. They guide you through the characters and the grammar in a very intuitive way
What an amazing video! We appreciate it alot! Please if you wouldn't mind add the pronunciation of the Chinese character to the greatest teaching , it would perfect and more informative in this way! Xiexie!
ra saket Japanese pronounces "chinese characters" (aka Kanji) differently to Chinese. In the most basic terms, written japanese uses a combination of these Kanji AND two variants of alphabet - Hiragana, being the native alphabet, and Katakana, being a "translation" alphabet used for foreign words. I would highly suggest trying to find Japanese courses online. :D
I believe the purpose is to allow communication. Speaking a language is not as helpful as speaking the language. If you were traveling being able to read street signs. She also said a lot of the language is contextual meaning that the way things are presented and understanding of culture is required to be able to communicate clearly. So she has given a basic starting place of how the language is structured. I have the distinct impression that without the context of how the characters are superimposed the ability to learn spoken Mandarin would be near impossible because the context of a characters use alters how the words are pronounced. So were learning the context.
such an ancient writing system. The whole world uses phonetic alphabets except for china uses this damn shit. memorize how many? 50,000+ fucking characters? It's only making china more isolated
I have recently brought two of your books but this video really made the books come alive. Your enthusiasm and your presentation style were wonderful, thank you very much from London. And I agree that the origins of some of the female related characters are sexist by today’s standards 👍🏻
Stephanie Luu Why did they change pinyin? The old spelling was so much easier for English speakers. It's not difficult to remember how to pronounce "Zh" and "q"
I spent 4 years in Taiwan, it's my second homeland. I always enjoyed the stories behind each caracteres and your creativity makes it reachable for all. Thanks a lot!!!
木 means wood , not tree; 树 means tree. Again, 門 is traditional Chinese, if u want the simplified form here it is: 门 从 usually means “from” e.g. 他从那边来的。 牢 is usually put as 2 牢牢: to hold on tight or to remember better. A pig is 猪
I was learnt basic manderin Chinese characters in Beijin, China Agri. Univesty so its very useful to upgrade my study with Chinese characters and langauge skill.
First fu can mean MANY different things like 妇 means woman, this fu 付 means pay. Not just one single meaning, depends on the tone and sometimes two different words will have the same tone so you have to understand them in context.
Hello I'm from India Can u plzz suggest me the best way to learn Mandarin I've learned Spanish korean English And my 2 native languages And now I'm struggling with mandarin but it is quite tough
@@arpitamukherjee9755 Listen, that is the best way i can tell you. Nowadays its more common to speak than write so learning these characters might nott help so much if you want to travel or anything
Because it is explained with modern interest, it is naturally not coherent and logical. If you are interested in the evolution of Chinese, you should browse this video. It uses textual research based on the evolution of different periods to demonstrate, this is the correct study. ruclips.net/video/3X8T5sZhtgM/видео.html
What a lovely way to learn Chinese, hope those who learn Chinese can pay attention to the Chinese dubbing app, which simplifies the difficulty of Chinese learning as much as possible, and also grades and corrects pronunciation.
I saw this when they were still in development; so practical. Had I started studying Chinese back then, I would have a pretty good grasp of the language by now 7 years later!

Hong Konger's comment
我不这样认为，繁体字确实很具有代表性，但是现在的简体字是一代一代的演化出来的，事物总是需要进步的，照你的说法来讲直接学甲骨文会更能理解中文但事实并不是这样的，中国文化讲究意会，由繁到简并不是只是为了书写方便而改的，简 也有其艺术价值，同音或近音的使用从古至今都有使用叫“通假字”，这也是文化的一部分。英文26个字母也是经过很多次的进化才呈现现在的样子的，按照你的理解为了更好的理解英文难道需要从日耳曼语系学起吗？不是。
繁体会认人望而却步.

I have started learning Chinese Mandarin a while a go with several Apps and online courses. Chineasy brought me forward much faster any other App.
the real difference is the methodology they use. They guide you through the characters and the grammar in a very intuitive way
This was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on RUclips. I'm pretty much astonished right now.
What an amazing video! We appreciate it alot! Please if you wouldn't mind add the pronunciation of the Chinese character to the greatest teaching , it would perfect and more informative in this way! Xiexie!
Wow!!! This video was really clear, charming and magical!!! Love this culture and language! ❤️❤️❤️
the most wonderful way to explain Chinese characters....kudos to the video makers. got all the more excited about learning Chinese
What about the Chinese pronunciation?
This is only teaching written Mandarin...
I like it very much thank you. You explain the chinese in a easy way. I want to learn more. Can you tell us japanese? Very-very thank you.

Japanese pronounces "chinese characters" (aka Kanji) differently to Chinese. In the most basic terms, written japanese uses a combination of these Kanji AND two variants of alphabet - Hiragana, being the native alphabet, and Katakana, being a "translation" alphabet used for foreign words.
I would highly suggest trying to find Japanese courses online. :D
I believe the purpose is to allow communication. Speaking a language is not as helpful as speaking the language. If you were traveling being able to read street signs. She also said a lot of the language is contextual meaning that the way things are presented and understanding of culture is required to be able to communicate clearly. So she has given a basic starting place of how the language is structured. I have the distinct impression that without the context of how the characters are superimposed the ability to learn spoken Mandarin would be near impossible because the context of a characters use alters how the words are pronounced. So were learning the context.
Loco Garner Mandarin and Cantonese and Wu and Shanghai written the same
so easy because im Chinese hahaha
WTF!!,
Lol same
Hello fellow Chinese
such an ancient writing system. The whole world uses phonetic alphabets except for china uses this damn shit. memorize how many? 50,000+ fucking characters? It's only making china more isolated
Cutie pie As long as you memorize the words like 2000. You don’t need to memorize all of the words x.x
I have recently brought two of your books but this video really made the books come alive. Your enthusiasm and your presentation style were wonderful, thank you very much from London. And I agree that the origins of some of the female related characters are sexist by today’s standards 👍🏻
My Mandarin teacher showed the class this. I love it! It's so easy!
It is amazing how you teach Chinese!
YOU ARE VERY SMART!
The problem is the ping yin....This is a really good way to learn how to know the meaning but the pinyin is important too.
Stephanie Luu
Why did they change pinyin? The old spelling was so much easier for English speakers. It's not difficult to remember how to pronounce "Zh" and "q"
I meant it IS difficult.
I spent 4 years in Taiwan, it's my second homeland. I always enjoyed the stories behind each caracteres and your creativity makes it reachable for all. Thanks a lot!!!
Hi Christel,
So glad we could help. We've also got a Chinese-learning app. Feel free to check it out. :)

I love this ,thank you so much for sharing. You’re amazing
Thank you, Yuba!

The symbol for “wife” had me laughing so much, I had to pause the vid!!!! You are brilliant by the way! The most clever learning tool I’ve ever seen.
just like in spanish u have handcuff = wife
Wow! This is fantastic! I never thought that learning chinese is so much fun!
It’s ok, but this is only for a start.
Yep chinese is fun to learn. If u are using traditional chinese, the words are like drawings.
When you actually study Chinese in school it's hell
木 means wood , not tree; 树 means tree.
Again, 門 is traditional Chinese, if u want the simplified form here it is: 门
从 usually means “from” e.g. 他从那边来的。
牢 is usually put as 2 牢牢: to hold on tight or to remember better.
A pig is 猪
I laughed at "double up too much and you have a wife"😂😂😂 the illustration is very good. Please continue to make more videos.😍😊
I was learnt basic manderin Chinese characters in Beijin, China Agri. Univesty so its very useful to upgrade my study with Chinese characters and langauge skill.
I just wish that you would tell us the pronunciation of the chinese words. I really appreciate the characters, but I want the pronunciation.
Jason Thornt
They're teaching Chinese, not mandarin.
well uh person is ren
tai is too much
man is fu
First fu can mean MANY different things like 妇 means woman, this fu 付 means pay. Not just one single meaning, depends on the tone and sometimes two different words will have the same tone so you have to understand them in context.
not MANY more like 5
but yeah i know its just really easy to forget what tone it is
Fascinating and what a fun way to break down the characters to help people learn.
Chinese is such a beautiful language. I really wanna learn this language
hi, welcome to join our group to learn Chinese, my facebook is darling chinese club.
Did you learn it or not yet?
why i'm i watching this when i am chinese😂
我也是😂
Hello I'm from India
Can u plzz suggest me the best way to learn Mandarin
I've learned Spanish korean English
And my 2 native languages
And now I'm struggling with mandarin but it is quite tough
@@arpitamukherjee9755 Listen, that is the best way i can tell you. Nowadays its more common to speak than write so learning these characters might nott help so much if you want to travel or anything
@@hongwei2635 I want to be an interpreter so I need to be fluent in it and no one here speak mandarin so what should I do???
Any suggestions
Hola@@shariff6155 , quiero ser intérprete, así que estoy aprendiendo varios idiomas
I love learning Chinese
God bless you.You are a very good teacher.Bless your parents who gave you a good foundation.
She is Such an excellent teacher 😘
so easy I'm so fun to learn thank you if tutorials are like this I would master Chinese in 3 days
It seems easy only for the first characters.
The majority are more abstract and complexe.
That's true :(
Most of them are composed with the ones she just showed. Just like 日 月 明，火 烧 烤...
@@陈亦之-w8n yup those are called radicals
Yes, this video is a good start for ppl who never had contact with chinese, but after that we learn that chinese is hard af lol
Because it is explained with modern interest, it is naturally not coherent and logical.
If you are interested in the evolution of Chinese, you should browse this video. It uses textual research based on the evolution of different periods to demonstrate, this is the correct study.

Just tried the app, it's great! Can't believe I learned a few chinese characters in the first lesson. Thank YT for recommending this channel
Nice and good method for learn a languaje. Thanks.
Imagine what it looked like before the editing
And without music
her voice is so calming
Prophet a person who speaks by devine inspiration, revealing or interpreting the will of God, particularly used in the bible properly????
What a lovely way to learn Chinese, hope those who learn Chinese can pay attention to the Chinese dubbing app, which simplifies the difficulty of Chinese learning as much as possible, and also grades and corrects pronunciation.
Amazing way of learning. Thank you guys for your hard work and making this happen.
so good i went and got the book. Realy easy to understand thank you!!
So glad to hear that, Geth. Thank you! Feel free to check out our Learn page for other learning resources as well. :) www.chineasy.com/learn/
Geth same
This is sooo cool!!!! I've learn waaay more with this video that in my last month studying Chinese!!!
I saw this when they were still in development; so practical. Had I started studying Chinese back then, I would have a pretty good grasp of the language by now 7 years later!
After watching her on ted talk, wow it's like chinese made easy😀
I've learned 50 Chinese words in Pinyin and I cant remember the character so this really helped
Saw the short version of the intro to Chinese characters when you did the TED Talk. Very entertaining and informative.
Thank you for your lovely comment, John. :)
Thank you so much in over 6 years of learning Chinese at zero this helped me you taught me more then I learned in like a month with just 10 minutes thank you

Wow... you have outdone yourself Shaolin....this is pure gold....
Es bueno haber aprendido ingles, ahora será mas fácil aprender chino (al menos leer)
Keep learning :)

If you say so ...
Anyone else watching but didn't really want to learn but just want to get familiarized if they encounter Chinese along the way in their life🖐🏻
This is mind-blowing! I loveeeee it, genius!

I would like to learn Mandarin. You arę my godess! Thank you!
I actually learning Japanese but Kanji is very hard for me so I found this. Very good example. It made me forget how difficult it was before.

Mehhh I'm Chinese... AND GOSH Chinese seems difficult after I watched this...
Green Apple :v mi no saber
Green Apple why do you say that?
Well, it sure ain´t easy to learn the writing system. Learning to speak the basics is not that hard though. Speaking well is, as in all languages, a difficult feat to achieve as a non-native.
can only laugh after reading ur comment
Green Apple Ikr. But the hard thing is that many words have many meanings.
really easy since I'm already intermediate Japanese!
Yeah these characters have exactly the same meanings in Japanese but with different pronunciations haha
cool, I also creating character stories with Korean hangul. Maybe I can use a bit of this also for my korean study. Thanks
This video is by far the most creative langauge video I have seen.
excelente idea!! debería salir en muchos idiomas, como en español por ejemplo/ excellent idea !!You should go in many languages, such as Spanish
exequiel lastra And how would you make drawings to explain A-B-C Spanish characters ? :)
nominal6 I think he refers to Spanish subtitles o.O
+exequiel lastra i think the class required to learn chinese is the english !!! ja jaja
+exequiel lastra *It should go...*
+exequiel lastra Pero en el Chino, las palabras son caracteres, como "dibujos". Cómo se supone que se podría hacer igual con el lenguaje español, si la palabra es el compuesto de varias letras?
