Description

Hello everyone,


Since it is common knowledge that China is one of the most powerful nations, it should come as no surprise that interest in China and the Chinese language is growing by the day. People have the misconception that learning Chinese is a very difficult task, thus they put off beginning their studies of the language. However, despite appearances, Chinese is not a particularly difficult language to learn. Pinyin and tones might be scary to first-time readers because of their reputation for being difficult to decipher. However, as you will see throughout the course, and as I will highlight on a consistent basis, the tones are not nearly as challenging. During the course of the session, I will go over the connections between the pinyin, which will make it much simpler to remember. There will be around 800 videos included in this training series. You will see the words you have learnt used in a variety of queries, which will make it extremely difficult for you to forget what you have learned and will also make it much easier for you to comprehend what is being said. This is one of the most helpful aspects of learning tones via listening. You will be able to utilize the tones and pinyin that you have learned straight from questions while speaking with a Chinese acquaintance, which brings up another important issue that we will cover. We will study the pinyin that you may use in everyday conversation. Because of this, you will be able to talk with ease.


There are around 620 Chinese phrases that I will teach. You will see the words you have learned used in a variety of different sentences, which will make it very difficult for you to forget what you have learned and will also make it much easier for you to understand what you are reading. This is one of the most helpful aspects of learning a language with sentences. You will be able to use the sentences that we learned directly from the stories or similar sentences when talking to a Chinese friend, which brings up another point: we will learn the sentences that you can use in everyday conversation. This means that you will be able to use the sentences that we learned directly from the stories. Because of this, you will be able to talk with ease.


I teach Chinese by translating precisely 46 different short tales from Chinese that are known for their humor. You will see the words you have learned used in a variety of different sentences, which will make it very difficult for you to forget what you have learned and will also make it much easier for you to understand what you are reading. This is one of the most helpful aspects of learning a language through stories. You will be able to use the sentences that we learned directly from the stories or similar sentences when talking to a Chinese friend, which brings up another point: we will learn the sentences that you can use in everyday conversation. This means that you will be able to use the sentences that we learned directly from the stories. Because of this, you will be able to talk with ease.


I designed this course for those who have no prior experience with Chinese, so there is no prerequisite knowledge required on your part. Make an effort to get a complete grasp of the concepts that I have outlined in the videos, and do not be afraid to ask me questions about anything that remains unclear to you. I will respond to your questions via the creation of new videos. It is strongly suggested that you start your job by keying in the characters found at the beginning. You will have a lot easier time understanding the framework of the characters if you approach it this manner.

Who this course is for:

  • To those who are interested in studying Chinese.
  • To those who are perceptive enough to see the significance of learning Chinese:
