I love these content ! Just downloaded the app

I've never seen or heard a better presenter, professional or not, than Fiona. Been following you since the Chinese Pod.

The sound of 多 in 多謝 is not same as 都 in mandarin. It's a schwa sound, like ㄉ of 注音。

Creative!

Love the series, keep it going!!

A Strandberg Boden and a Yamaha silent? Very cool!

Wow! What a great lesson for the day! I’m day 76 on learning chinese! 我喜欢 学习中文

I’m three years in, and I’m just now learning the list of radicals 😂

Great video and production !

I really love these useful vocabularies. Hope to see more vocabularies for discussing real life interests like baking and true crime. Also really like the introduction to more Taiwanese way of speaking in the other videos as I have a personal soft spot for it. Just one thing that would make these videos even better would be if the whole video is in Chinese with English sub that can be turned off. So it can be useful to both beginners and more intermediate viewers 🥰

Super useful dialogues! Thank you :)

做好心理准备 puts more weight towards preparing for potential emotional toll 做好思想准备 puts more emphasis on being mentally prepared (being strategic about thinking)

In Malaysia, 管你的屁 is what we learned.

I recommend the chinese version "Three body" produced by Tencent Video.

Are the images AI generated? They have that weird uncanny plastic quality and them 😬

Some of the Chinese sentences when Ye Wenjie was messaging the San-Ti seemed a bit stilted. eg “到这里来吧。我们的文明已无法自救。我将帮助你们获得这个世界。‘

Question: is the Jade there at that market good quality Jade or there some that sell fake Jade and what currency is accepted at the market. My cruise is in about 20 days and we will stop in Tapei...I wanted the opportunity to purchase some Jade. Do you recommend this place or is there another Jade type of market? Please advise and thank you for your time

I suggest people to look up Rotren Mango’s explanation behind the scenes of how the 3 Body Problem universe even came to be (as a Hollywood/Chinese powerhouse) and you’ll see how easily and quickly such delicate and intricate and culturally rich topics can and will get diluted into a “More Worldly” story.

Ironic how the speaker mentions that she enjoyed it because most sci-fi is Western-centric, yet the Netflix adaptation of a Chinese novel... was made to be Western-centric. From Wikipedia: "[Chinese] Viewers criticised the racebending and gender swapping of several protagonists, cultural appropriation, as well as the "dumbing-down" of concepts to appeal to non-Chinese audiences." In other words, the current state of "entertainment" in the West. As always, go back to the source material and read the actual book before it's corrupted, watered down and repackaged ideologically for mass consumption.

For me the Netflix version felt really rushed, watered down and poorly written / directed in spite of its crazy budget. I really recommend the Tencent drama that came out last year, obviously the budget was much smaller but it really had the heavy and slow vibe of the original book.

another gaming term I recommend for mandarin learning with board games. 我掷一个色子, wo zhi yige shaizi, I throw1 dice. This video was great. Wish It didn't focus so much on card play though. Focus on board games and other aspects. Hope they do a follow up on other games. 谢谢你老师。

The problem of classifying a character by sound is a mistake as it is dialect dependant. If you do not know how a character is pronounced, you are screwed when trying to look it up. Now the stroke system is also broken, the modern Chinese dictionary a la Beijing dialect is broken as well. For example, if you see an unrecognized character, there is no way you can find out what it means or how it is pronouned. You do not have that problem most of the time with traditional Chinese characters as you do lookups radicals and stroke count there.

But the system of simplified characters has broken the radical system. No longer are dictionaries organized by radicals. Traditional Chinese characters are organized by radicals and by a table of exceptions. Traditional Chinese dictionaries are orgainzed by a radical and the number of strokes on the non-radicals. Complicated but working. The simplied Chinese characters are organized by sounds of the characters according to the Beijing dialect in a hash table manner. Some characters have multiple readings and if not careful, you might neglect all the possible readings of a particular characters. The simplification process actually rid of the radicals for simplification purposes. So it is not true any longer that by looking at the radical you can guess what the meaning of a character. Before 1970, I did not learn Mandarin and only spoke Cantonese. I was able to use the traditional Chinese dictionary. If I did not learn Mandarin on my own, I would not be able to use the Xinhua dictionary, for instance. The simplified system was designed and deployed in haste, 1956 deployment. They have gone through several versions before having arrived at the current one. It was supposed to be a transition language until romanization. Romanization failed so we are stuck with the current one. I learned Chinese thru the traditional characters and do not consider it difficult. I can data entry simplified Chinese characters but cannot write it correctly on occasions. It is hard to get used to for me. Moreover, with a few adjustments, I read simplify Chinese transparently. I write traditional Chinese proficiently manually enven though I have not even finish third grade in HK. In practice, it was self-taught bith in Cantonese and Mandarin. It is feasible if you can use a traditional Chinese dictionary. Manually traditional Chinese characters are hard to write manually; other than that, reading, data entry with computers are pretty much the same.

Fiona very gorgeous..

Fiona长得太漂亮了。😍
