For English speakers, I'm pretty damned sure you're one of the best Chinese teachers on the entire Internet. I just purchased your Sentence Mastery Course. I'm sooo excited that I cannot even contain myself............. it's pretty sad, actually. lmaooo
tone of the character "一" : "你一到，……"（use the rising tone） "他一说，……"（use the falling tone） "她一拦，……"（use the falling tone） "我一想，……"（use the falling tone） All native speakers doing like this. Actually, there is only one case of using high flat tone. That is when counting.
666！this is so good! One minor nitpick/comment: 一 techinically only has one pinyin (yī) if you look it up in a dictionary, but in spoken Chinese, 一 has more tones. Example：你一（yí）到就给我打电话。他一（yì）说我就笑了。but I’m not sure about the exact pattern they are following. Also in spoken Chinese, if two 3rd tones （ě） are together, we tend to make the first the 2nd tone. Example: 给(géi)我
一（yí）旦（dàn）找到工作，就有钱了。我一（yì）开（kāi）始就说了。 so looks like if the following char has 4th tone, then 一 has 2nd tone, and if the following char has 1st tone, then 一 has 4th tone. (“then” here is another example of “就”, “indicating the result of something”）
Is saying 去就去吧 considered rude? Would say it in a frustrated/annoyed situation, or is it a slang way of talking to your friends and not considered rude? Thanks
我花了两年才完成这个任务。the implication is not that was quite late.the implication is the project is too difficult that it takes me two years to complete it. 我花了两天就完成这个任务。（the project is too easy)，that only takes me two days to finish it. i treat your videos as English listening materials,and actaully they are quite great.
你好老帅。 I find your videos to be uniquely helpful, but I found that they all seem to require full visual engagement. Could you make any longer audio-oriented videos?

Your video like this put a lot sense into something that native speakers like me did not thought much about and just use intuitively.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

That's a good way of explaining it, thanks!
I loved your explanation
Thanks Chris, such a good video
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your best Explained in the video, looking forward to see the next video Lesson 👍
great video! thanks so much!
天啊!最近看老外如何教非中文的人民,原來外國老師這麼厲害,研究透徹啊! 中文真的很難學,除了文法外,唸法又有四種口音,不得不佩服這位老外,中文還有一些學問,尤其是文字連母語體系的華人都不完全懂喔,可謂博大精深,教一些一般常用的中文句子就夠了,加油!也謝謝分享我們的語文出去,。
Thank you for taking the time to make these vids!
You're welcome!
那里也特别欢迎老外，他们的视频很受欢迎，随便聊点家常就能有百万的播放
You could place yourself on the upper left corner of the screen, so that we can see the complete sentences!
Thank you so much for the clarification!
Really it's very interesting thanks for your help but i want to know how to use (把。。。当作。。。) please as soon as possible may i ask you for this ...????
I'm going to be doing a video on 把 very soon :-)
把鉛筆給我

It's a bit direct, and it's what you would say when you're frustrated. You could say it to a good friend.
Remarkable teacher.
Thanks !
Very helpful 👍

I could do, but this is a video channel, it's not an audio platform
I don't understand very well about that jiu, so could you explain again other way because jiu is very diffcult for me than other word.
这小子的汉语很棒啊。
‘就‘ 比如：我一吃辣，我就肚子疼
Zhème duõ rén, nî ZHÎ diânle liâng gè cài?. Can we use zhi3 here too? How does zhi3 work? I love this channel!
Yes you can use zhi3 instead.
谢谢你的帮助！
isnt it 看到了你 not 看到你了
Chris, you explain very well, but your pronunciation is really too fast for somebody who learns Chinese.
你可以去中国的bilibili去投稿视频和进行直播，现在那里已经是中国年轻人的聚集地了，发展很快，你这么标准的普通话应该能受到不少人的追捧
我的一些视频好像已经被别人上传到哔哩哔哩上，不过我主要的目的是开发课程帮助大家学习，没有想被追捧
