Youtubers to learn Chinese Part.2

 Learn Chinese through YouTube 

Currently, there are so many different resources to learn Chinese, but the one resource I really recommend, because of its accessibility and variety is: YouTube. On YouTube, you can find endless Chinese lessons which is something really helpful, on the other hand it can also be overwhelming, because there are so many options that you simply don't know which video to watch. 

Before choosing from which channel to learn from, the first thing you need to take into consideration which study plan do you want to follow: The HSK, TOCFL, are you looking for classes for everyday use, for travel, etc.

YouTubers I recommend for the HSK 

LichaoChinese: This channel has quite a range of lessons. He teaches from the HSK1 up to lesson 3 of the HSK 4. He mainly focuses on the readings passages (which not a lot of channels do), he gives an explanation and analyzes the grammar, in addition he also gives some examples of how to use the vocabulary and even in some cases he explains the cultural background of why the dialogues are the way they are. 

SiSiLaoshi: This channel mainly focuses on the HSK3, you'll find that she has videos for all lessons, and some extra ones that only focuses on grammar. If you are a person that mainly learns through examples, then her grammar videos are just for you, because she gives quite a lot of examples and different ways to use the structures. 

每日文課: This channels is mainly for intermediate level an up, she explains the grammar of the HSK4, HSK5 and HSK6. Her classes are quite clear, and she gives a lot of real life examples, but what I enjoy the most of her classes is that they are completely in Chinese, which is quite important because you don't simply learn translations, you truly understand the grammar and how to use it.

Manhuas, a game changer for improving your reading

How to use Manhuas to practice Chinese Improving your reading skills There are many ways to improve your Chinese skills, but when it comes to reading it's all about practice and constant immersion in the Chinese language, there are a lot of different resources that you can try like: books, articles, newspapers but the one I'm going to be focusing on this blog is practicing your reading through Manhuas (which are basically comics). Where can you find Manhuas? So there are a lot of different places where you can find them, for example if you want a physical copy you can find some on Amazon, but there's not a lot of variety, so the best options will be to read them online: there are some platforms that you can use for example: bilibili 漫画  or Webtoon , these two are both web platforms and Apps, so you can use them in the format that you prefer.  They are both free and quite easy to use, they quite similar, but the content in each one is quite different, another thing that is...

What is going on with the 把 structure ?

The 把 structure The reason behind why you need he 把 structure The 把 structure is mostly used to add emphasis, the emphasis is added in the verb/result as it changes their usual position. This structure can be quite confusing, because in most western languages we don't have a structure that is remotely similar, so there is not a direct translation.  Even though this structure is quite hard, it's also really important, in my opinion it is fundamental. In addition, you will encounter this structure early on in your language journey. In my case I learned this structure in the GoChinese 400, and I'm also I'm pretty sure it's part of the HSK 3 coursework. What is the infamous 把 structure?  This structure is quite strict, from what I have learned up to now, the 把 structure never changes. It always follows its original pattern, which is : Subject+把+Object+Verb+ Result   The main uses of the 把 structure: 1)To emphasize that an action has finished Subject+把+Object+Verb+好了/忘了 ...

Small victories youll encounter in your Chinese Journey

Your language journey Everybody has its own path when it comes to language learning, they are all beautiful but completely different, but there are some victories that will happen in most people's language journey. It's important to care about these victories and appreciate it them because these will help you to stay motivated. My experience Up to this point I have been studying Chinese for more than 2 years and a half and I honestly love this language, but I have had my rough patch, mainly when I first started to learn Chinese. I remember that there was a moment I really wanted to quit and this happened on my third module, which was around my 4th month studying Chinese, I was feeling quite frustrated because I was not able to understand a lot of things and I felt like I was not as good as my classmates and to be honest I was not enjoying it; but one on these small victories helped me to stay motivated, and I'm so glad that I was able ...
