Hi Ms. Yang Yang. Your lectures really help a lot of students to learn Mandarin. More power to your channel. By the way I'm a Chinese-Filipino. Cheers from the Philippines! 😊
i like the way u teach chinese.. simple to understand.. i got it fast.. i've been in a lots of channel but it was confusing how they teach... 👍👍👍 good job
I was excited to teach spanish to my internet friends, then somehow I ended up teaching english to a japanese friend, explaining japanese to a bunch of people and helping with korean to a friend (but now its annoying)
screw "zhi, chi, shi" im chinese native speaker too. i can hear there is a difference between them, but when i try to say it myself, "chi" sounds just like "ci"......giving away as a typical chinese southerner lol
@@topaz173 yes i have cousin in fuzhou. So difficult to understand what he is saying about. Alien for me. But still i can understand the taiwanese, beijing people or southeast asia chinese speaking chinese (except the java chinese).
Wow! You are responsible for giving me the belief that I too can learn Mandarin. If I could learn it like I know English and Spanish I'd be ever so happier!!! Thanks very much for your way of teaching! You are a terrific teacher. Well done!
This is my favorite kind of feedback! It's our mission to prove that anyone can learn Mandarin, you just have to have a good program and study every day. We're so glad you are enjoying studying with us. 💖 加油 (jiā yóu)!
+Oluwadamilola Faleti Awesome! You can do it with our Beginner and Intermediate Conversational Courses! Let us know if you have any questions along the way. :)
Oluwadamilola Faleti Is it true that in Africa there are also tonal languages like Chinese? I wonder if Chinese is easier for those who speak other tonal languages. But if you've lived in the US all your life, you probably don't know :(
Hello Yangyang. Your videos are informative and very helpful especially for me. I am an Online English teacher and my students are all Chinese. I started to learn the Chinese language 3 months ago...I self study.. I've learned and practiced basic conversation sentences but I still find it hard to pronounce your language. hehe. However, when I saw your videos 3 weeks ago and started to follow your advises, I improved drastically and now my Chinese students were amazed with my improvement in speaking Chinese...Thank you. 😆
谢谢 您 ! I have been studying mandarin for two months now and you helped me so much to pronounce correctly the "special 7" with your video. Thanks again :-)

I really love your videos they help me understand pronunciation so quickly and easily, you're a really good teacher. I teach English in Japan, and have been learning Japanese for around 16 years, so I know how hard learning different pronunciations is and how hard it can be to deconstruct one's own language into terms that the other person can understand to help them learn it. On an unrelated note, because I learn Japanese, when I listen to you say a word, and then use a Chinese pronunciation checker on myself, I can often tell right away if I've said the word correctly because I can recognize the characters from my Japanese studies. Though I'm noticing that remembering them in Chinese is actually much easier, correct me if I'm wrong, because they seem to always have the same pronunciation, so I can learn just one way to say it and associate that with the meaning and how the character is written. But anyways, I really appreciate your videos and how much effort you put into not only teaching how to pronounce the words, but thinking about how to make it easier for English speakers to understand the sounds and differences, repeating the expressions many times, and having your camera set up close to your face so it's easier to see how you're pronouncing the words for mimicry. Thanks so much for your hard work. I'm not yet a serious learner of Chinese, but as a teacher, and a learner of Japanese, and lover of Language learning, your teaching technique is very good, and I'm sure is helping serious learners progress much more quickly than if you didn't make your videos.

you are my offically my main resource, in the last 2 hours you've taught me so much about pronunciation and basic grammar that no where else even TOUCHED on , i feel like ive improved more today than i have in the last month
I was learning Korean and I like how they had a channel where it explained everything to of the Korean language (like this one). So happy to know there's a channel like that for Chinese 😭 I was having trouble :) tysm

Yes I find this Channel really helpful she teaches very good. Please can you tell me, which is the channel that you learn Korean from? I want to learn korean too.
The way you're using examples from English to describe how each syllable sounds, and how to use tones, is so helpful. The rising tone sounding like "what?", the falling tone sounding like "No! or Stop!", the low or "bouncing tone" sounding like "Huh??" is a revelation. Makes me realize English speakers use tones too, just in a different way!! And we don't even realize it! Thank you for such an eye opening tutorial.
There are definitely regional differences in pronunciation, and one of the risks of taking classes locally is that you're likely to be taught some 'local' ways of pronouncing and speaking Mandarin. That's OK - as long as you are able to communicate! In our courses, we teach you to speak with standard 'broadcaster' pronunciation, but use dialogues filmed with native speakers all over China (including Shenzhen), so you develop listening skills that can handle different accents. If you're looking to make extra progress beyond your classes in Shenzhen, or just more practice tools, I hope you'll check out our courses on YoyoChinese.com! 加油 (jiā yóu)!
Your are a PRO Yangyang Cheng. I speak 5 languages and I must say you are one of the best teacher I met. Blessings. You seem to do what you love and you love what you do.
Being a Thai speaking Thai helps me a lot to learn Chinese as it becomes easy both in tones, vowels, and even in expression structure. Some consonant sounds need a little practice on my part which is also not difficult because I've created a way to bridge what I know to the characteristics of Chinese such as the sound of 'r'.

i have literally youtubed hundreds of videos trying to learn to speak Mandarin and finally found yours! your seriously the best teacher Yangyang Cheng, thank you for making it so easy :D cant wait to learn more!
Thumbs up up up, really amazing how well you explain the tones. I also very much like how you use the english comparison words in which we also often use certain sounds and pronounciations. Really really enjoy watching and learning and picking up step by step from your lessons. Keep going to produce more of your great lessons :-)
i was so impressed on how easy you make mandarin to us :-) THEEEEEEN i saw you tonguetwisting and forgot all what i learned and tried to repeat that xD it is so hard and different from our tongue-twisters :-D thanks for all your videos..!!
It is almost two weeks since I began to learn Mandarin, on my search for tones in Mandarin I found your channel, you gave me a lot of optimism. I will try from now to use them. You say it is very easy to use these tones, I hope so. I have no problem with memorizing the words or the grammar, my only problem are these tones. Thank you from my heart, looking forward to see your video collection.
Thank you for this kind comment! It's exciting you are starting to learn Mandarin, and I'm so glad our lessons have helped you master the tones. 加油 (jiā yóu)! 😊
When I am looking at this video, the way you introduce the 7 tough syllables are so interesting and amazing, I don't know why for me it is similar to the classic movie "The seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa back in 1954. I am looking forward to make progress in my Mandarine to be able to understand the meaning of the words that "Teresa Tang" sings. She is my favorite Chinese singer. So thanks alot for your videos and good luck.

I time completing the exercises exactly as you give them. This is a great way to learn. Way better than reading about pinyin and then listening to audio samples. Thank you for the channel.

+Robert Martin You can say hen hao when you are talking about yourself like.. you are doing great / you feel great. But when you want to tell someone else they are doing a good job (not a feeling) its fei chang hao. This is simply what I observed from watching videos so don't quote me on it.
These lessons really help, i'm taking chinese 1 and we didnt go over proper pronunciation. This channel is really helping. Thank you very much Yangyang Cheng!

I teach English as an additional language and my Chinese students have trouble pronouncing English sounds. This lesson has helped me to see why they have some of these problems. Thanks so much.
Yabbamita Maybe because these lessons are so funny,it's totally different than those courses we took during our first grade. And the most important reason is this teacher...you know what I mean. lol
I really appreciate the positive feedback, and I'm glad you're seeing progress with your pronunciation. It's so great you are learning Mandarin with your son. 加油 (jiā yóu)! 😊
You're freaking awesome!!!! really you're the best teacher I've ever had in my life!!! I really feel like you were in front of me teaching to me!!!..Greets from Colombia, Note: for spanish speakers is no dificult to understand the sound of the vowels U-I because the sound is exactly the same in spanish!! how blessed I feel for speak spanish also!
I love your lessons! I’m a complete beginner and thought this would be impossible but your lessons are really fun and you provide great explanations of how to pronounce words by giving us English words to link them to (e.g. chirp’ for chī) - this helps me remember!! And you’re enthusiastic and uplifting ! Thank you YangYang!

19:55 The auto caption help it easier to learn the pronounciation somehow 😂 Like when she said bici bici, the caption caught it as pizza pizza It’s kinda sounds similar!
mupa in Hong Kong she is a wonderful teacher, I have an iPhone that speaks to me as I type since I’m blind, that’s how I’m typing to you as well. I put her voice on my heart. I wish to one day marry a woman from China. That’s been my lifelong wish since I was 15 in 1998.

mandarin does not have voiced initials other than nasals. z and c are only differentiated by aspiration, not voicing. Therefore, z is not [dz] but [ts], c is not [ts] but [tsh]. English speakers often incorrectly use [dz] for z.
When saying j [tɕ], q [tɕʰ], x [ɕ], the tip of your tongue should touch the your lower incisor teeth, and the top of your tongue touches the hard palate.
Ray Cui thanks friend! I studied phonetics for a few year but I can not figure out those sounds, there is no clear distinction among them, only aspiration. Hope you understand my English!
In one of your lessons you pronounced hamburger as Han bao bao ,actually if you are ordering a burger in a shop you say han bao , i found out han bao bao is how a child refers to it, not an adult. So embarrassed .

Thank you for the kind comment... I really appreciate it! Are you studying with our full courses on YoyoChinese.com?
I am just starting learning Chinese. Chinese pronunciation is very hard but you made it so fun and easy to understand. Nice lessons ! Thank you !
不客气 (bù kè qì) - you’re welcome! We're glad you are enjoying studying Chinese with us. Have you checked out our full courses on YoyoChinese.com? 😊
@@YoyoChinese yeah sure
Thumbs up up up, really amazing how well you explain the tones. I also very much like how you use the english comparison words in which we also often use certain sounds and pronounciations.
Really really enjoy watching and learning and picking up step by step from your lessons. Keep going to produce more of your great lessons :-)
I love her attitude!
i was so impressed on how easy you make mandarin to us :-) THEEEEEEN i saw you tonguetwisting and forgot all what i learned and tried to repeat that xD it is so hard and different from our tongue-twisters :-D thanks for all your videos..!!
It is almost two weeks since I began to learn Mandarin, on my search for tones in Mandarin I found your channel, you gave me a lot of optimism. I will try from now to use them. You say it is very easy to use these tones, I hope so. I have no problem with memorizing the words or the grammar, my only problem are these tones. Thank you from my heart, looking forward to see your video collection.
Thank you for this kind comment! It's exciting you are starting to learn Mandarin, and I'm so glad our lessons have helped you master the tones. 加油 (jiā yóu)! 😊
When I am looking at this video, the way you introduce the 7 tough syllables are so interesting and amazing, I don't know why for me it is similar to the classic movie "The seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa back in 1954. I am looking forward to make progress in my Mandarine to be able to understand the meaning of the words that "Teresa Tang" sings. She is my favorite Chinese singer. So thanks alot for your videos and good luck.
So excited to learn with you, Yoyo, especially the twisters regarding si shi si :D x
Thanks a lot x
We're excited you are starting to study this amazing language!

LOL.... I remember trying to teach my son when he was 6 year old to pronounce 14 and 40 in Mandarin and he was totally confused!
Started self learning mandarin yesterday ..it's quite difficult for a beginner like me until i found your channel....hoping to learn a lot...
You really can learn to speak Chinese. We're glad you found our sample lessons on RUclips! Have you checked out our full courses on YoyoChinese.com? 😊
"i" does metter. It has the same sound as "ы" in russian which is one of the most hard sound for outlanders.
I time completing the exercises exactly as you give them. This is a great way to learn. Way better than reading about pinyin and then listening to audio samples. Thank you for the channel.
Where were you when I was taking Chinese back in college? Love the explanations!
The last information 太牛了 ! !
女 - 律 - 旅 - 绿
我学习汉语一年多了 , 还刚才知道怎么写它们 ! 谢谢您 ! 最好老师啊 ! 🌸💖🌸

Fēicháng hǎo, fēicháng hǎo! :D
What does it mean? I'm curious.
"Very good".
+011azr Extremely good.
+Wadokujin I thought very good was hen hao?
+Robert Martin You can say hen hao when you are talking about yourself like.. you are doing great / you feel great. But when you want to tell someone else they are doing a good job (not a feeling) its fei chang hao. This is simply what I observed from watching videos so don't quote me on it.
These lessons really help, i'm taking chinese 1 and we didnt go over proper pronunciation. This channel is really helping. Thank you very much Yangyang Cheng!
Very Good lesson nicely explained. Also, She is the prettiest teacher ever.
Wonderful! You're a great teacher! Thanks for the video!

I teach English as an additional language and my Chinese students have trouble pronouncing English sounds. This lesson has helped me to see why they have some of these problems. Thanks so much.
+David Esdaile Glad the video helps you understand your students' situation a bit better! What a good teacher! :)
This tone thing is driving me crazy
I agree but i all ready know Chinese teach us Japanese
kevin leung Yes.I also want to learn Japanese.The only reason is Being able to play Japanese video games.lol
Yabbamita Maybe because these lessons are so funny,it's totally different than those courses we took during our first grade. And the most important reason is this teacher...you know what I mean. lol
+kevin leung
もう日本語を知っていて、私たちに中国語を教えてください。
Okay, I'm not fluent but whatever...
McDucky 僕も日本語が話せます
^^
This was a very important lesson and feels like it moves pronunciation forward a lot, for my 3 year old son and I. Thank you again!
I really appreciate the positive feedback, and I'm glad you're seeing progress with your pronunciation. It's so great you are learning Mandarin with your son. 加油 (jiā yóu)! 😊
You're freaking awesome!!!! really you're the best teacher I've ever had in my life!!! I really feel like you were in front of me teaching to me!!!..Greets from Colombia,
Note: for spanish speakers is no dificult to understand the sound of the vowels U-I because the sound is exactly the same in spanish!! how blessed I feel for speak spanish also!
Enjoy very much the way you teach. Its easy to understand and follow the basic correctly. Keep up the noble work.!!!
this is awesome, thanks for your lesson.
I love your lessons! I’m a complete beginner and thought this would be impossible but your lessons are really fun and you provide great explanations of how to pronounce words by giving us English words to link them to (e.g. chirp’ for chī) - this helps me remember!! And you’re enthusiastic and uplifting ! Thank you YangYang!
i love you yangyang you're the best!
very clear friendly presentation, thanks so much madam yangyang.

19:55 The auto caption help it easier to learn the pronounciation somehow 😂 Like when she said bici bici, the caption caught it as pizza pizza
It’s kinda sounds similar!
thank you for this great explaination. i've been living in china for the past year, and this is the first time i can say the "r" correctly.
mupa in Hong Kong she is a wonderful teacher, I have an iPhone that speaks to me as I type since I’m blind, that’s how I’m typing to you as well. I put her voice on my heart. I wish to one day marry a woman from China. That’s been my lifelong wish since I was 15 in 1998.
You’re special ❤️
Best video I found till now to learn these pronounciation differences also as a no english native speaker!
'The Seizing Seven': named after what I would assume is happening to one pronouncing these
I just bought the Beginner course. Worth all the money.
Thank you for purchasing the course, and sharing your positive feedback! 加油 (jiā yóu)!
Ni tai niu le Yangyang!

If you know Japanese "ci" is like the start of つ (tsu) but only the start 'ts' most Americans say it the same as す (su) and its not the same

Speaking Romanian with its non-syllable "i" is very helpful to pronounce Mandarin... who would have guessed... and pinyin "c" = Romanian "ț"
Sounds like you've got a bit of an advantage learning this language! I hope you enjoy studying with us!
U have very nice voice ! Should be a singer !
Good teacher as well!
God bless u dear!
Sometimes we teach Mandarin with songs... like here: bit.ly/2SNqxl1
mandarin does not have voiced initials other than nasals. z and c are only differentiated by aspiration, not voicing. Therefore, z is not [dz] but [ts], c is not [ts] but [tsh]. English speakers often incorrectly use [dz] for z.
Hi Ray I've found a chart in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin and you are right! Could you help me with the alveolo-palatals? Greeting from Argentina!
When saying j [tɕ], q [tɕʰ], x [ɕ], the tip of your tongue should touch the your lower incisor teeth, and the top of your tongue touches the hard palate.
Ray Cui thanks friend! I studied phonetics for a few year but I can not figure out those sounds, there is no clear distinction among them, only aspiration. Hope you understand my English!
xie xie yoyo.
its really amazing useful lesons appreicted the way u r explaining.
great.
keep it up.
✌👌👍

I speak spanish and your english and chinese are so good that I can understand all your lesson perfectly!. you're a great teacher, thanks you!
In one of your lessons you pronounced hamburger as Han bao bao ,actually if you are ordering a burger in a shop you say han bao , i found out han bao bao is how a child refers to it, not an adult. So embarrassed .
yes, don't say Han Baobao. it's embarrassing.
aww its okay. The more you know🌠
Explaining difference in hotel terms helped me so much!
