I'm glad there is no music background so we can listen to their voices clearly. Thank you so much.
Yes, we remove the music background that may be noisy in our new videos.
@@EverydayChinese Yes, sometimes music is interrupted. 😂
By the way, Could you please make videos about telling the story with pinyin and English translation? (No music background)
It would be a really great way to improve our listening comprehension.
@@xiaoyin_h Thanks for your suggestion. Most of our newly posted videos are music background removed.
@@EverydayChinese could you please try some TPRS (teaching proficiency through reading and story-telling) where you'd tell simple stories using 100 most common verbs in Chinese we could read them while listening to you in both in Pinyin and Hanzi
@@user-my5zx4gr2d Hello, we actually use the tprs method in our online courses. You can check it out at courses.everydaychinese.com
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that guy on 4:41 makes me laughed a lot
He change the answer so fast afraiding her girlfriend will see the video, but in reality he didn't like the festival 😂😂
yeaaaa. i wish she would watch this video and knew how her boyfriend think. :P
also laughing hard at this guy. Love DengDeng's experssion on the 2nd time he answers. HAHAHA
This clip is so funny..🤣🤣🤣
they did him dirty XD
4:52 hahahah his reaction 😂😂😂
I love that you didn't edit it out
--
Good short video with various answers from different stand points. They are funny, too!
instant subscribe. The fact that you introduce the cc, and have pinyin and the chinese signs as subtitles just shows what a kind spirit you have!
This is the best video ever. Thank you for making the Pinyin, characters and english subtitles.
4:52 😂😂😂 that guy made my night, i laughed out loud, this part made the whole video Sweet kkk it was nice to don't edit and cut off 👍👍, kkk he has spoken by the heart
This is one of the best Chinese video i've watched! 😆 that guy really made me laugh out loud!! It's very entertaining, and true-to-life conversation. Thanks for the Hanzi, Pinyin, and English Subtitle. This js very helpful! I admire ur effort, and much appreciated 🥰💕
I think learning chinese is bit difficult but on my opinion it's such a interesting language 😊 After learning chinese we can interact with chinese people and 我们了解他们的文化。
These conversation were amazing guys ❤❤❤
没有，你想多了吧.... No ,you are thinking too much 🤣🤣🤣.The kid when asked if he has a girlfriend .He made my day 😂😂. And I remembered when you taught us these short phrases .Thank You everyday Chinese for making us learn chinese in a fun way .
My goodness! These kinda videos are extremely helpful.. Keep em coming ;)
Glad you like it.
I will answer all their questions :)
1-In my opinion Chinese share similar features but they don't look the same way, however Chinese aren't as mixed as we are in Latin America. so I can often distinguish chinese but it's sometimes hard.
2- Huh, I don't do anything it depends on the couple
3- I don't celebrate Qixi or even Valentine's day
4- Flowers, chocolates, cakes.
5- I study Chinese because I love Chinese culture, language, history and Chinese historical dramas, also I want to read Chinese literature, but I have a lot of work on :( well Chinese is indeed difficult, but as long as you keep focused on your goals, you will always remain motivated.
I enjoyed a lot this interview I could understand a lot! make more videos like this.
From a Thai pengyou...(answering questions)
1. Because i'm also Asian. I can kind of tell the differences between far east, southeastern, south Asians...with 70% accuracy. Although some people are hard to tell because of the mixed races these days.
2. Totally depends on the person. Some people don't give much importance. Some go out with friends (if single). Some buy presents, date, have nice meals. Students in schools or colleagues at work may put heart stickers on your shirt as a sign of affection in Thailand. Not a norm, but I've seen it done more and more now.
3. I think Qixi is exclusively for Chinese. We don't have a different version of Valentine's Day...just Feb 14. And again, the presents are totally depending on the couples. Most people will just give flowers (which becomes extremely expensive on that day), chocolate, or nice meals. Some dedicated couples may also give some handmade presents with pictures of them together or any keepsakes that bring good memories as a couple.
4. Because I want to understand what XiaoZhan and Yibo say in their interviews and I want to understand it first-hand. It's difficult, but I'm determined. haha.
This was amazing ! You should definitely consider making more videos like this one !
Thank you so much for this helpful video. Hoping you guys will have more and more real conversation Chinese like this 😍😍😍
These videos are so helpful, thank you so much!
the content was ultra super. a very useful way to learn the language thanks again and keep up the good work 给你们个点赞
Agree with the others. I find these street interviews very helpful, with the added bonus of no background music to distract the ear. Keep them coming!
Amazing as usual!
Wonderful video. I like listening to real conversations, Q & A, natural voices and authentic accents of the local people. It would also be good to hear people from different regions. And you look lovely in soft, pastel colored dress.
you guys are doing very much great work,, I would like to thank you and to wish you good luck with your videos everyday ,,, keep up the good work !!!
It's really entertaining and educational. Thank you for your great video
谢谢老师我觉得这个视频是特别好！
Excellent video!! Very natural and people really engaged with the interview!! Cheers!
谢谢您邓邓老师❤❤。视频很有意思。 我期待更多这样子的视频 🤗
Oh thanks so much I found this video very helpful for me to understand my Chinese husband 😁 thank you keep uploading with your complete translation with your Chinese character 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very helpful and well presented!
This was hilarious thank you so much :’)
Loved this Interview! So cool and funny!
I love listening to people in other languages and cultures. I wish I can know more about chinese citizens and visit some day. Thanks a lot for helping us understand you better. We need to learn a lot from China.
well, not the politics for sure lol
我爱上你了 !!!!
Very funny video, I really laughed a lot with the guy who thought his girlfriend could watch the video.
Would love more videos on streets with real speakers like this please. Very helpful!
This video really helps me with my conversation level in Chinese!! 谢谢！
Love it!
Subcribed and liked
Because there's no noise, no music background while watching !
The most impressive video I have ever watched
Thank you for the subtitles, it helps a lot, currently trying to learn Mandarin.
谢谢你们
It's funny and entertaining but also learning😂 thanks!
This was very enjoyable actually. Thanks
this was so informative thank you so much!!!I instantly grabbed my notebook once I read the title and now I have a page full of new words and expressions.
Good student. 😊
Amazing channel
I love this kind of video
Excellent real conversation !!
lol 😂 let’s record this again very funny. Thank You for this video
This was riveting to see people's ideas and thoughts. I appreciate these videos.
So good! So original and spontaneous. The kids were awsome. The guy who changed his version was hilarious. Chinese friends, please note that St. Valentine is an old catholic festival which was revived lately by salespersons for obvious commercial reasons just as the old irish pagan festival of Halloween. Millions of people have no idea what it is in the "west". Millions as well have hardly heard of St. Valentine and don't relate to it at all. To me individual Asians are all different even if I generaly do not differentiate the appearance of nationals. Chinese is not so difficult and so widely spoken, its a challenge. Like & subscribe for the quality.
😂😂😂这个视频真棒噢 👌👌
Great video!
Happy to know wonderful channel 👍🏻
七夕节快了。Thanks for nice video .❤️ from 🇳🇵
I love you to interview everyone
I like your interview, it's funny 👍
我真的很喜欢你的视频 :3
This is one of the most interesting but also funny interview I've watched.
又很有意思又好笑
My answer to the questions
1. 虽然我是个外国人但是我也是亚洲人所以我没有这个问题
Although i am a foreigner, but i am from Asian country so this problem don't apply to me
2. 差不多 almost the same
3. 在这里没有七夕 no Qixi here
4. 差不多。花儿,巧克力,什么的 almost the same,flowers,chocolate, etc
5. 汉语很简单但不容易 Learning Chinese is simple, but not easy.
我觉得这个问题很有意思哈哈可是我看看如果有男朋友那就喜欢过七夕，没有的话就不喜欢过情人节😂😂然后我想答问题，我学汉语当然很难不过很有意思❤️❤️
很有意思，我很喜欢这样的视频。
I enjoyed it 😂
这个视频很好！我最喜欢这样学办法！谢谢老师！
很高兴你喜欢这个视频！
Really sooo funny hahahaa.. thanks for sharing
hahah thank you for sharing! this video was educational and had me laughing!
The reason why I’m 100% engaged with this channel for Chinese content is because their is always pinyin and Chinese characters, much easier to learn
Great video love from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
thank you for the video and the guy at 5;01 made my day lol
Haha, that was pretty entertaining. And a good lesson too, with words and grammar that were not at a high level. Well done!
谢谢!!!!
4:53 😂😂😂
我希望他女朋友看这个视频😂😂
😂😂哈哈，他女朋友也可能不看CZcams
在大陆不能打开CZcams
是啊。只有用vpn才能看youtube.
But still it is so funny. Also 邓邓 looks like she was trying not to laugh when that guy is doing the "2nd take".
I bet she was already thinking "we won't cut this" 😂😂😂
@@kokolexx 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great 👍
“嗯特别喜欢”反应很快😂😅
to answer the last question, well I was told chinese is hard so I just decided to learn it after trying out a random free trial on the internet. To my surprise the language for me was super interesting especially since it had tones, sth completely new to me. After the trial ended I resorted to free resources and used this other comprehensive textbook, so the journey so far has been amazing but limitations are of course not having someone to practice with, the weeks that go by without learning. But it isn't that bad tbh, but this is subjective lol. I suggest whoever wants to learn just dive in and see what happens, do not be intimidated.
These were such funny responses from people!
谢谢你们为这样的视频。我希望你们再拍这样的视频。
I love that guy who asks for replay.. Very clever of him. Broke my ribs...
我给您点个赞，非常感谢！我学了两年的汉语了。您的视频很有意思，帮助我长知识😊
Some of us do celebrate Qixi day! My wife is Taiwanese and she always gets me a nice meal and card. In return, I do the same on America's Valentine's day. ;) Great video.
I Love it
the second half of the video was sooooo funny LOL all the way, tough interviewer!
"Lets start again" That guy,, haha 😄
很厉害！我喜欢看你的视频了
This is one of my favorite videos, I really like 😍
I'm glad you like it
Good save on the second take my man😂😂
Chinese Language is realy hard to learn.
That’s way i want to try. Good Thing is i must not, that gives me no pressure.
Your teaching method is realy great. It keeps me watching More and more.
Thank you again for the helpful Video...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm learning Mandarin because I love Chinese movies, music and Culture. I also find Chinese characters and the language to be very interesting. It may be hard to learn, but I think it's worth it. I also think China is a very beautiful country rich in history. Also, I think Chinese women are very cute and adorable haha :D
awesome
这个视频实际上对于学习如何阅读和说中文非常有帮助
好视频😊
its great
I love learning Mandarin so far. I have been studying for one year now. I think it is probably easier for an English speaker to learn Mandarin, than it is for a Mandarin speaker to learn English. Because English is influenced by many different languages and has exceptions to many “rules.” I celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband by going out to eat a nice dinner. We exchange “Valentines cards,” which are greeting cards with loving sentiments. Sometimes we have a family party. I also give a card to my son along with some candy. Sometimes my husband gives me flowers and chocolate. I subscribed!
Wawwww. I really like it
Amei seus vídeos parabéns principalmente
very useful content. Thanks
The kid was very cute ahah
4:11 我笑死了 😂
hahaha
假设一下，要是他回答自己有男朋友了 😂😂
Thank you so much for this channel! I don't know why I didn't go looking for you sooner. Mandarin is actually first first language (I learned to speak it first). In fact, I remember clearly that I came home from my first day of kindergarten in tears because the other kids could not understand me.
And yet, because I don't live in China, my Chinese vocabulary is limited to common everyday speech like, "take out the garbage", "weed the lawn" or "wash the dishes". 😅 But your channel lets me drill vocabulary while seeing the written words. I do kind of wish you used the traditional characters since those are the ones my mom taught me when I was little, but I suppose over time I'll get used to the simplified ones.
你的视频很有趣
Thanks for pinyin and characters. Also for using native speed. It's hard to practice listening when the language is slow since that's not what you hear in real life.
我来自印尼🇮🇩
现在回答大家的问题
1. 印尼也是亚洲嘛，所以我觉得亚洲人都长得不一样
2. 每个人不一样吧，有的是比较简单，送花、送巧克力啊，有的比较浪漫，在一家豪华的饭店里约会呢
3. 我们国家没有过七夕的，甚至华人一般也不会过七夕的
4. 就送一般在情人节会送的礼物啊，花、礼物、巧克力之类的
5. 刚好我是从小学习中文的，所以中文对我来说，是一门比较熟悉的语言，不但我还是觉得中文是一门学起来比较难的语言 😊😊
老师好可爱，我关注了你的视频。😊
Very good
New Subscriber ❤️👍.
真好学啊
邓邓看起来像一个友好而热情的人...录像非常好!
This is interesting...esp. on the question about the difference between Qixi and VDay...have always been wondering about this. Seems there are many versions of what Qixi and VDay is. Thanks for doing this! For me, it's also my birthday (Vday)
