"Your videos are great! It looks like you're holding a script while you're talking. Is there anyway you could upload those scripts with your videos? It would be great to have the 漢字, pinyin, and translations in a copy-and-pasteable format :D" - Seth
The following will link you to download the lesson script I used in this video. I hope the availability of this learning material will help you grasp the usage of it much easier! :)
Bu hao yi si! It had been a while that I had not uploaded any new Mandarin lessons. The thing is I was under a hectic search of new producers and I was lucky to have been introduced to this production crew called FirstZoom.tv As you can see in the latest video, the problem many viewers had been complaining about, the audio quality, has finally been improved thanks to their professional skills and equipment. :)
About two weeks ago, I went up to Taipei and we had a scout about the streets near our studio to look for shops and places we were allowed to film. I went in there store by store to explain to the owner my channel and the purpose of our filming and hopefully they could support us by letting us film there. Luckily, most shop owners were more than welcome when they knew it was to promote Mandarin learning to the learners worldwide. You can see my thanking the owners as it is displayed at the end of the video. :P
I am glad that I got to work with new people. It has been a pleasure working with FirstZoom.tv I appreciate their patience and time spent on my videos. In addition, I will also be featured in some of their videos on DiscoverFomosa in which topics about travelling to Taiwan will be covered such as culture, food and people. I am looking forward to it and for those who enjoy my videos, watch out for those! ;)
Finally, I hope this lesson helps you with your shopping in Mandarin speaking countries. Sorry about the long wait. I appreciate your patience and support! Next video won't take so long la. :) Xie xie!
It's a lesson request from tsweezy101 on the sentence pattern of describing a person's capacity of performing an action. In addition, I have included two more sentence patterns which are used to describe the quantity or the time spent an action has required. The three sentence patterns in this lesson are fairly useful and commonly used on a daily basis. :)
You can make YOUR lesson request here on my website too! ;)
Wow! Shi4zu2 sai4(世足賽) has finally begun! I am not a big soccer fan but I remember watching my first Soccer World Cup four years ago when I was in my sweet 17!!! Time just cannot fly fast enough. I am turning 21 next month! I cannot believe it! :D
Anyways, as you sweet darlings of Soccer Game sit or lie on your couch with a can of beer in one hand and a bag of chips in the other screaming, sweating or crying for the FIFA World Cup of 2010, don't forget to pick up the words of "Soccer and "World Cup" in Mandarin. :) This lesson is requested by my friend, Dumezweni Dlamini from Swaziland. I really think it comes in in a very good time.
The first episode of Intermediate level in Mandarin Chinese!!! ;) This lesson contains one of the most commonly used sentence pattern in any languages: Comparative & Superlative Sentence. I've included some of the vocabulary that can be used in this regard. This is important because you can use it on your daily basis and also to strengthen your sentence structure by understanding the pattern and practicing. I hope I made it easy to understand. Jia you! You guys are upgrading to Intermediate or even Advanced level! :)
