I have been trying to self-study Mandarin, but I wasn't sure what resources would be good to buy. Thank you! This is the most informative video I have found.
Fantastic!! I wish you the best of luck to start :) I know - there are SO many videos that tell you what to buy, but I'm super glad you enjoyed my version of it! 加油！
Thank you for the tips, I’ve been trying to learn Mandarin for a couple months with some free resources because I wasn’t sure what textbooks were worth investing in- now I have a better idea of where I should go from here 😄
My pleasure! Makes me so happy that you're able to take something away from this video :) Keep on studying, it's going to be difficult in the beginning but you'll find a study rhythm. 加油！
Informative content pal. I’m learning the opposite way round to u and I started with learning speaking first but now I’m also doing writing and using some of the books u recommend.
Huh, that's an interesting video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
Firstly, Chinese , Secondly Japanese , thirdly Korea. It's a good option, because there are lots of chinese words in Japanese,Korean. Japanese grammar is similar to Korea grammar .
No problem! I hope you're finding duolingo a great start to learning the language :) To speak Chinese fluently, it's hard to say... They said if you've accumulated and memorized 5,000 chinese characters that is the equivalent to most native speakers (which may take 4-5 years depending on how much you study).
I really loved the Tuttle books (Learning Mandarin Chinese Characters: amzn.to/2Crltil) They have a Level 1 version AND a Level 2! Great spaces to practice your writing and some examples after each vocabulary set :)
I was wondering where you got your notebooks from and i clicked the link but I’m stuck. Which online store did you use? Do I have to be in Canada too order? So far I can’t find it. Is there an alternative on Amazon?
You can find other kinds of links to those notebooks! Here's another one from Amazon USA: www.amazon.com/books-Pakkuno-30S10-5X5-Kokuyo-Campus-Application/dp/B0012OTICE/ref=sr_1_2?crid=21PE68R3JVHWD&dchild=1&keywords=5mm+notebooks&qid=1635118070&sprefix=5mm+notebook%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-2 You can easily find different notebooks like this online, just search up 5mm notebooks :)
I took a 3 month class before I started buying my own books and seriously studying! It's one of the things that I would recommend when starting any language, as it'll provide a good foundation for your self-studying.
I still say reading and writing Chinese is a waste of time to learn unless your going to live in China.....Just learn to speak and understand it ......that's enough work in itself......if you add reading and writing chinese.....it will only make you life harder .....😆😆😆

Your video reminds me of the old days I was learning Chinese intensively. :(

I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese language vividly and in a funny way. I hope you can recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese.
I want to learn all three Japanese, Chinese and Korean
Japanese for anime
Korean for K-pop
Chinese to play video games
Amazing!! I have very similar reasons for learning those languages too :)

@@nichoson idk how this has so less views. :(
thank you for the tips. currently I am learning mandarin chinese only by Duolingo. anyway how long you can speak mandarin chinese fluently?
No problem! I hope you're finding duolingo a great start to learning the language :) To speak Chinese fluently, it's hard to say... They said if you've accumulated and memorized 5,000 chinese characters that is the equivalent to most native speakers (which may take 4-5 years depending on how much you study).
Do you know a book for Chinese people who cant read or write fluently, but knows simple chinese
the textbook introduced in this video will work (hsk standard course)
very very helpful. Thank you.
No problem, thanks for much for your comment :) Best of luck with your studies!
where did you buy them?
Check the links in video bio! You can find the books there and I got my notebooks from a Japanese store called Oomomomo :)
I am wenzhounese and I learn English and Mandarin
Woohoo, keep up the learning!
Which one do you prefer more for learning the character as a beginner, the collins or the tuttle ?
I really loved the Tuttle books (Learning Mandarin Chinese Characters: amzn.to/2Crltil) They have a Level 1 version AND a Level 2! Great spaces to practice your writing and some examples after each vocabulary set :)
kl video which camera are you using? :)
my videos there are not good quality :( :( :(
The camera I'm using for this video is Sony A6000! (with no special lens, just the regular one)
@@nichoson thanks mate :)

I am working hard at English now，We refuel together！
Amazing! I wish you the best of luck with your studies :)
Where do you come from?
I was born and raised in Canada, but my family comes from Vietnam!
Did you went to Chinese School before learning all this
I took a 3 month class before I started buying my own books and seriously studying! It's one of the things that I would recommend when starting any language, as it'll provide a good foundation for your self-studying.
Chinese is not a single language, but a language group. So you're learning Mandarin, not Chinese.
I still say reading and writing Chinese is a waste of time to learn unless your going to live in China.....Just learn to speak and understand it ......that's enough work in itself......if you add reading and writing chinese.....it will only make you life harder .....😆😆😆
So true! Speaking is probably the first way to go, I will have to agree on that haha
@@nichoson yep......I'm still learning manderin....been studying for 2 years
