Living in the UK, and being the only person learning mandarin I know, I find this all the time. Everyone sees a Chinese person and says "go speak to them... your learning mandarin". I then explain that there are so many dialects. SO even with my basic language skills so far, they could have a different dialect completely.
Wow. I just found your channel and it is everything I have been looking for. I am an intermediate learner and I just started to try to explain my thoughts, opinions, ideas in mandarin, but I'm not always sure how to structure my thoughts. Your opinions / ideas are all so clear and the pacing of the arguments are inspiring. I agree with you that you are good at it! I will be learning from you in the future - thanks so much!
@@JasonEyermann congrats on passing HSK4! 🎉 I'm also HSK4/HSK5 level. I haven't found other channels like this. The others I watch are either native speakers vlogs or teachers explaining concepts. Li Can is unique in that he really provides you with clear examples of how to express yourself. Next week, I'll actually start studying his clips by printing his subtitles through downsub.
@@jessyca9833 what is downsub? It’s an app to download the subtitles. I added a comment earlier asking if there was a way to subs then I can also study them. BTW ruclips.net/video/1g0LD4JF_8w/видео.html is also very very good for intermediate learners
Many words really complicated for me, but since you put the translation i can try to understand the logic and i hope it helps me improve my mandarin listening skills🎉
History Putonghua can be traced back to the language based on northern accents when Beijing was the capital during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. ... The Ming Dynasty began to call the official language Mandarin, with Jinling Yayan as the positive tone (called "Zhongzhouyin"), forming a common Chinese language system called "Zhengyin", which has profoundly affected the Chinese language to this day The form, at that time, "Nanjing Zhengyin occupies an important position in the Ming Dynasty." This is the Xiajiang Mandarin that prevailed in China until modern times.。。。。。
You mentioned that Mandarin is a "man-made" language, but aren't all languages man-made? Could you explain more about how Mandarin was manufactured and then standardized? I'm very fascinated by this topic.

Similar to English, everyone has different accent depends on where they come from. I know how to speak mandarin but not very fluent. I really want to learn more and speak better. I'm trying to watch more Chinese series now to learn but it's hard if i don't speak to someone daily.
@@shaunphan9039 My bad. What I wanted to say is that if you can't find someone else to practice speaking, at least you can speak to yourself, but, you must have a topic to talk about, not just some random words, that's useless. Because, after all, only input is not enough, to learn to speak a language, you need to output. I also asked, are you a Chinese American or just a Chinese learner?
I wish I could download and study the subtitle text after watching so I could study it. I hope that’s is something you could consider adding or maybe even selling
you can use downsub to download the subtitles or use the Google extension language reactor to watch it while learning it, it provides meanings to the words, very convenient.
as a chinese learner who has been using your videos to practice, i wish you would go back to the style of subtitles you used in this video: ruclips.net/video/nDJEG35T6S8/видео.html. it's helpful to be able to toggle between english, hanzi, and no subtitles at all - especially when watching the same video multiple times. the hard-coded subtitles you've been using recently are too inflexible
@@EazyMandarin thanks! I know understand it's important for english speaking audiences to know that your video is subtitled. for me, the (en/cn subs) label worked well

I am very impressed with your knowledge and the way you expressed the story line is interesting. Love it, keep it up.

Ooh... I've got to subscribe to this channel... That's good diction to copy.
Great ! very impressive.

This guy is 真优秀。
李璨老师视频里你自己的发音就是标准普通话最好的例子了！👏👏 橄榄枝双手奉上，李璨老师未来有合作需要请考虑考虑我啊! 😆
我正在看你和理查老师的访谈呢😄，必须合作啊！不过我最近手头有好几个视频要录，过一段时间咱们一定也做一次连麦啊。我很喜欢看人连麦的视频。有一次在微博上看人连麦看到凌晨两点多。。。你一般什么时间比较方便？
@@EazyMandarin 一点也不着急，特别理解，有时候视频点子出来忙起来就停不下来。按西安时间的话，你的17.00以后我都行 😃，等你这边忙完了，我们提前几天约，那个时间就一定能空出来
@@chinesewithben 好的👌
我也很喜欢陈道明。怪不得喜欢看你的视频，发现是因为你说的话比较好听
哈哈哈，我很喜欢这样的赞美😁
I hope you gradually increase your viewership.
托你吉言😄
我刚刚碰到你的频道就觉得特别特别的高兴！
欢迎欢迎😄

这个问题我得和你说中文了。中国其实自古以来都有官话，就是大家为了交流方便制定出来的语言，还分好几个区域的官话。别的时候，大家其实都是说方言。所以，就算新中国建国的这批领导人中，有影像留下来，都是说的方言。1949年后，才开始推广普通话，这个普通话是以北京话为基础制定的，但是发音其实是根据北京边上一个县滦平制定的，然后再推广出去的。

说实话，其实自言自语倒是也能练一练，虽然没有和别人对话练得好。但是，最关键得有一个话题，你就着那个话题说，那样才有效果。如果，只是胡乱说，就很难有效果。可以想下，今天吃什么，怎么做？用中文说出来。语言输入够了，关键还是输出。你是华裔吗？还是自学的汉语？
@@EazyMandarin sorry, 😞 I cannot read Chinese. I will have to translate later into English to read your reply. Have a good nite.

Greetings from Germany
你好，德国的朋友！
李璨也再一次发了太棒的视频，内容每次都特别充实。听你讲你是如何改变口音的，真的很有趣，特别是因为你是个中文母语者！你改正自己的口音的过程花了多久？我也希望能继续改善我的口音。
我基本是一两个月就改过来了，但是完善还是花了挺久的。你可以看我早期视频，和现在的对比。还是有些不同。所以你也可以说，完善花了一年多。关键还是多说吧。我看你也是一个RUclipsr哦。录视频，然后剪辑的时候，多回听，会更容易发现自己的问题，改的应该会更快。
@@EazyMandarin 谢谢你的建议和鼓励，对我也是个YouTuer, 我会尝试多回听，把错误渐渐地改正！
@@thedanyopang 加油！
i'd like you to do a short video in wenzhounese (i don't know if you're from wenzhou)
That would be cool
I can't speak wenzhounese, but I'm a from a place quite near Wenzhou, so my hometown dialect is also super difficult to understand.
我要听一听大叔的方言！@@EazyMandarin
很喜欢Li Can老师这篇！看来我的普通话也还有救😂
😄老师是哪里人啊？
@@EazyMandarin哎呀！千万别叫我老师，我真不是老师。不过好像也没错，因为我是重庆人，我们那里的人都是“老师”。哈哈哈！
@@SimplyChinese 在自媒体上教中文的老师也是老师嘛。我就说你的口音有点熟悉，我在重庆万州上的大学😄
谢谢您！很喜欢您的视频。我很久时间试试找到一个说标准的普通话女人，但还没找到（我是美国人，很难知道谁有这个口音或者没找到很多视频）。您可以发给我建议？谢谢！
你有没有喜欢的中国的电视剧？还有你可以在RUclips上找个 主持人大赛看看，有没有喜欢的人，上面说的都是标准的普通话。
Do you have ur Harry Potter audio book uploaded to RUclips?
我只是录了几章，都在RUclips上了。

在会说普通话的外国人当中我觉得最标准的就是法国人朱利安的。他不像大山和马斯瑞有明显的北京腔，反而跟主持人的普通话一模一样。
对对对，我知道他。确实说得好。
其实大哥我比较喜欢你南方人的口音
Who is the man at the end of this video?
陈道明？
@@EazyMandarin Yes thank you！！！
@@unattendedcandle 不客气😄
非常有意思的视频 - 谢谢。这部视频提醒我看关于中国历史的节目。毛泽东和邓小平的口音很浓可是呈现的中国领导听起来差不多一样，至少按照我的西方耳朵。
如果人想进步他们的听力他就该听很多不同的普通话。如果想进步说话能力一般的普通话比较好。不是那种非常标准的，其实是那种在用标准普通话的环境中长大。这种华人没有什么别的方言。这是对学说中文的人的最好理想。学普通话以后才能学方言。
其实现在中国的很多大城市，孩子们都不怎么说方言了，估计慢慢方言都要消失了，起码在大城市里。
@@EazyMandarin 好可惜 ): 有些方言确实好玩

soft coded subtitles also allow learners to use helpful tools like the "language learning with youtube" extension
我明白你的意思。其实做外挂字幕的话，对我更方便呢，费时间更少。我其实也是为了大家看字幕更清楚些。等我在社区里做个调查问卷，看看，大家更喜欢哪一种。
@@EazyMandarin thanks! I know understand it's important for english speaking audiences to know that your video is subtitled. for me, the (en/cn subs) label worked well

哈哈哈😄

我只是自学过一点，还不会说。。。
