Chinesse seems hard initially, but when you realize it doesn't have conjugations, declinations, genders, and tenses, you know you can save a lot of time, for example in chinesse every verb has only 1 form and you know time by context, and in spanish every verb has 108 forms.
I agree!
That's true 😂
And how difficult is the writing?
@@JhonDavidFlowersMenjivar Incredibly so. But once you get out of school, you don’t really write on paper. Unless you want to, of course.
I didn't knew that spanish had 108 conjugations
I'm a native speaker.
lol
I recommend for beginner podcast Tea Time Chinese 茶歇中文. He speaks slowly, without accent, also on the website you have script, you can listening and reading at the same time. Also you can click on text and read translation. I really recomended!
Sounds like a great resource, thank you!
Keeping a journal and learning to write Chinese will change your world. I've learned how to write tons of new vocabulary words (both traditional and simplified) just by writing down my ideas and thoughts on the left page of a notebook while writing down unknown characters a few times on the right page. It will make you stand out if you learn to write Chinesr with a pen.
HI ..I AM A NATIVE CHINESE SPEAKER WHO IS LOOKING FOR A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER TO EXCHANGE . WOULD U BE INTERESTED?

This is the best video, I watched in last 6-8 months for learning Chinese. Most of the resources you talked about, I am already aware but for a newbie mandarin leaner, this is an excellent video. Though I couldn't develop my vocab but I was in the process to find all these information which I wished I would have seen an year ago. Thanks Man, you are awesome but my recommendation, for full time working person like me even you learn a word or two in a day, give 5-15 mins daily would be fine, instead of giving full energy and getting lost on the way. Again so nice of you for share an amazing video. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!
@@BrianWilesLanguages Welcome Man, you really deserve it. I searched all this material in 6-8 months. Your amazing video will save time of many more and is a very good motivation for language leaners. Additionally, you sound very good which is another plus as you have so much energy, you are paving the way for others. Great Job.
@@BrianWilesLanguages Can whites stop appropriating everything. Why must you centre yourselves in things that have nothing to do with you?
I am also learning Mandarin from July with the help of Duolingo. Do you have any suggestions about that?
@@ayushdubey520 Well, Dulingo suits more for revision. Use the resources mentioned in this video. These are the best.
Thank you for the mention, Brian. Really enjoyed the video! The Chairman's Bao Team.
Thank you for putting everything in description it really helped
this is probably the best, most comprehensive and realistic guide to learning mandarin ive seen yet! thank you for being so specific and straight to the point instead of just spouting generic language learning tips. will definitely be using this :)
Thank you!
chinese has always been my dream language, but I was scared at first. However, it turned out to be so pleasant to learn. I really love it, and I think this is the key why it sticks to my mind so easily. I can say even easier than English some years ago. The great video, definitely! So many great resources, thank you!
well when you really gets into Chinese, you'll found out it's one of the most simple and useful language
HI ..I AM A NATIVE CHINESE SPEAKER WHO IS LOOKING FOR A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER TO EXCHANGE . WOULD U BE INTERESTED?
@@FINDAFRIEND91 yes I'm interested
@@ZixuanWang-ly4xy useful only in China and Taiwan. Outside those two countries it's practically useless. English is the true useful language since it's spoken globally around the world.
@@FINDAFRIEND91i am interested!
That was really informative!! Thanks a lot❤
It will be awesome when you make one of these "How to Learn [insert language here] On Your Own for FREE" to learning russian.
Congratulations for the channel. Excellent content.
Make more videos about learning English and speaking it fluently please 💐
شكرااا مقدمااا استمر.
This was so helpful, thank you so much! 🤩
I really can not like this video enough! So helpful!!
This video is immensely useful - thank you!
Thank you!
thank you so much
"Hello, blogger. I'm Chinese and have lived in China for 23 years. I'd like to ask for a favor: I'm very eager to learn English, but I find it very frustrating and difficult to learn on my own. My Chinese is very good. Could you help me find someone whom I believe has a connection with me? I'll teach them Chinese, and they can teach me English, so we can learn from each other."
@bulizi: Hi... I'm an Indonesian & I've been teaching English for years. I know some basic Mandarin but I don't have a speaking partner to practice. I think it's a good idea if we can collaborate... 你看怎么样，行吗？
yes i can from India
I'm an English teacher if you're interested we can get in contact
We can coporate
Can you teach me chinese, if you do that , i help to learn english.
Thankyou so much for this video, i wanted to learn mandarin for the longest time but didnt know where to start, and this was soooo helpful, thankyou so much, keep up the good work
Great video! I'm a Turkish-American who grew up in Taiwan (attending regular public elementary school) until the age of 11 at which point I moved to the U.S. My Mandarin is still very good (you likely wouldn't be able to tell that I am not Taiwanese if you speak to me over the phone) but I don't have anyone to speak Chinese with. I'm looking for podcasts and movies/shows to engage with the language without it feeling like a chore, all the app recommendations are really helpful, thanks!
Kanka, that's 非常好。
cok ilginc gercekten 😂
thank you, this is so helpful, I am taking a high school introductory online class and the textbook I am following is so hard to learn from so these are some great tips. Especially the app tips and how you divide the time for HSK1 :)
Thank you so much for the video
Really Thank You

I know this is a bit confusing, but I am learning English recently and want to find some native English speakers to be friends with. If you want to learn Chinese, I can also teach you.

Thank you so much for your advice. I'm currently learning English and I'd like to reach at least a B2 or a C1 in this language and after that I'm gonna move to Chinese :3
说的不错👍👍👍
谢谢🙏
شكرا لك براين علي هذا الفيديو الممتع والغني بالمعلومات والمصادر ❤❤❤

I am Chinese, learning English. Seeing you explain in what I consider very difficult English how to learn what I consider very simple Chinese, this feeling is truly marvelous.
Haha I can only imagine! Thanks for watching 👍
would you like to do an exchange language program? I’m fluent in English, I’ll teach you English, you’ll teach me Chinese 😊

I'm glad you're interested in learning Chinese! However, I know that learning a new language isn't easy, so I have a few questions to ask you. How should I contact you?
@@imsheepyeye我可以
@@user-sk5ss2zk2x how should I contact you? 😊
This is literally the best language learning video in the entire youtube, thank you very much for your time and dedication, I can only hope someday you do one like this for Japanese and Arabic!!!!
Thank you- and I’ll see what I can do!
انا مكنتش اعرف انك بتتكلم صيني يا براين الفيديو دسم جدا و مليان معلومات مفيدة اشكرك جدا و الله 👍👍👍👍
اني بديت أتعلم الصينية بس الرموز صعبة جدا ، وهنا براين ينصح بس نتعلم pinyin ، هل هذا صحيح !
@@Gg-we5wj لو حابة تتكلمي بس كبداية اه و بعدين واحدة واحدة ابدأي anki اللي هو كاتبه تحت للرموز
Chinese grammar is extremely simple and straightforward.
I first tried learning German. I gave it up for Chinese because the grammar is easier.
❤ thanks you so much, Iam nơ have ton of free time so I will learn chinese by myself in 3-4 months to push my lever from A1 to B1. I believe it works.
Good luck and thanks for watching 👍
الله شكرا ليك كتير بجد 😍😍

I'm Chinese and a Muslim. I especially want to learn Arabic, but I don't know how to learn it. Seeing your comments, I think you should know Arabic. I don't know if you want to learn with me. I can teach you Chinese. You teach me Arabic.

Hi. Thank you for this video.
I am dwelling on starting to learn mandarin, but I don't know where to start.
There are nice videos, which teach all 214 chinese Radicals, there are some, which teach conversation, there are some, which have emphasis on pronunciation and tones.
Would you start, for example with radicals? Theoretically they can help to memorise the characters.
I would recommend starting from the very beginning of the HSK curriculum using the HSK level 1 video lessons that I linked to below (you can get the book, or not). And you should also use the two videos I posted about tones/pinyin to better understand those concepts. Good luck!
As a native Mandarin speaker, I strongly recommend Mandarin learners to study standard Mandarin which refered to the mandarin with northern Chinese accent。
I am learning Chinese, and I have studied it seriously as a hobby for a year now. I have even started a RUclips channel for it. Come follow if you like!!💯😄😅
I wanted to learn the Chinese language, and I learned simple things, but I left Chinese and went for Korean because I found it easier to pronounce and write as well, and I feel that it will benefit me in the future 😭💔.
ماشاء الله بتتكلم انجليزي كمان عاش💪😂😂😂😂
Hi🎉thanks ✨️ for the video 📹 please help me to make a plan for Hsk4 in 3 months 🌱🍓
Could i use this methode my korean language learning system?
As someone who has been living in china 7 months, i think this video is amazing
I really appreciate that 🙏
hi everybody i also recommend reading webnovels in chinese they're quite interesting for intermediat learners also there's lingq language learning platform not for chinese only but for number of languages there're so much DLC right there
well i studied chinese for some days along side russian but i felt that i can't focous on them both so i set it aside until i achieve a decent level in russian my native language is arabic which i'm studying right now in college as a mager i've learned english on my own and lately i finished reading my first novel in english which is i'm aproud of achieving and right now i'm studying russian the most wonderful and difficult language so far you can say that i've achieved an A2level also on my own overmore i'm a blind 😉 so everything is possable if you give it enough time as being said if there's a will there's a way
Great advice- thank you!
I'm gonna give it a shut. Thanks!
I want study English.If someone want study Chinese ，we can help each other
Sure thing. How can we help each other?
We both can
I'm in Guangzhou when can we start😊
We can help each other with this
How can we do that?
Can you make the same video but for learning French?
We need video how to learn french😊😊
If you're keen on Chinese culture and literature, consider using effective tools such as DeepL and Immersive Translate to help you grasp the essence.
嗨布萊恩，我是伊斯拉 Well, if these are the first words I learned, I think they are a bit difficult, but that's okay, I'm still a beginner. Thank you very much for making the video I requested. I really appreciate this. Best wishes, Esraa. ❤❤❤
HI ..I AM A NATIVE CHINESE SPEAKER WHO IS LOOKING FOR A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER TO EXCHANGE . WOULD U BE INTERESTED?
مساء الخير،
افتقدنا للفيديوهات الي كنت بتعملها😢
What about Duo?
احلا يو تيوبر في مصر براين ❤❤❤❤😂😊
أنا أول تعليق❤😂
The best video on Mandarin curriculum! Covers all topics, gives you all the resources and more importantly explains how to study for HSK!
Question: what is the mobile app you’re using on the video for Anki?
Thank you very much! That is the Anki mobile app 👍
can you do the same video for frensh language
I also recommend 2 chrome extensions: Language Reactor and Zhongwen: Chinese-English Dictionary.
Another resource, not free but definitely really useful: a scan reader pen
I'm learning Mandarin on my own !
Nice!
我也是！！！我觉得太难了但是我喜欢！！！！
加油！
Let's learn together
Are you on Instagram? WhatsApp?
A great collection of tips! I’m an advanced level learner, and I have used almost everything mentioned here, with the exception of flash cards. A lot of people find them useful, but they’re just not for me.
yeah i tried getting used to flashcards like using them while i'm on my way home or during the brakes between lectures in university but they're just too boring
I appreciate that- thanks for your comment!
I have a problem. Whenever I want to write or speak Chinese (just for practicing or when I try to talk to somebody), the only words that come up to my mind are basic stuff (like "My name is...", "I'm... years old", etc.) instead of the other words or structures that I know. How can I solve this?
I type Chinese in zhuyin on my devices, I prefer to use this system. In zhuyin but with simplified characters.
Can you make a video like this but about German
Hi Brian! I'm Brazilian and I would like to learn Mandarin and Japanese as a hobby. Which one would you recommend starting with?
Thank you very much for the tips!
If you’re set on learning both, you can really start with either one. Learning to read either language will help you read the other (a bit), but that’s about the only similarity, to be honest. Traditional Chinese characters are the basis for most Kanji (although often with adjusted meanings), so I guess I would recommend starting with Mandarin and then moving to Japanese. Good luck!
@@BrianWilesLanguages I had actually already started learning hiragana. I can hear Japanese pronunciation more than Mandarin, but I confess that the different forms of honorifics in Japanese worry me. However, the tones in Mandarin also worry me. Thank you for your attention and tips. Sorry for the mistakes in my English!
After graduating from my university, I will dedicate some time to learn Maderine I tried to do but It was difficult to balance between my academic study, doing my assignments, learning English on my own, and trying to learn Mandarin. Lol, I even haven't reviewed, or studied English since along time that's depressing.
You can do it, Naira!
Hi,the LCTS is not free @@BrianWilesLanguages
2:13 我覺得那四聲調很困難但慢慢來。加油！需要試試我的口語能力，還很差
Hi, Brian! Do you think we need to have some preliminary Mandarin knowledge before starting HSK1? Or can we start it from zero?
HSK1 is for absolute beginners ! you dont need prior knowledge
I only started learning Mandarin like a week ago and your newest video is about learning Mandarin. Are you stalking me?
Haha glad to hear you’re learning it!
