If you found today’s lesson helpful, don’t forget to share it with your friends who are also learning Chinese! 😉
Also, let me know what your struggles are when learning Chinese (can be in any aspect, like listening, speaking, reading etc.) in the comments, I might do a future video about it!
非常好！😁😁😁❣🤜🤛
Would you please make a “Comprehensive” video on frequently used dialogues on C-Dramas? Is there any difference in the dialogues in Historical/ Wuxia and Modern dramas? It’ll be more easy to learn the daily uses sentences and more fun and enjoyable to watch those dramas. Also, we can focus on what the actors are saying rather than focusing on subtitles.

word-order, i.e. sentence structure, is THE struggle!
@Dreadnought 1997 If I were a Chinese then I could’ve learned from my Mother. Why would I be here to learn?
I find it difficult in identifying the characters when reading but I'm improving in the listening but I want to be better in conversation.
I'm a Ghanaian
This is my first time learning the terms “left” and “right” branching languages. I actually didn’t notice until now how English modifiers often branch to the right, so the way you contrasted the English and Chinese structures really helps. Thanks as always.🙂
No problem! 😉 Thank you for being supportive as always!
@@GraceMandarinChinese Yes! That was really helpful.
I've been learning Mandarin for about 3 years, almost four, and this video helped me! Chinese grammar was never explained to me in this way, so now, a lot of things make more sense to me now. Before, I was used to knowing what was right and wrong, but this video helped me be able to vocalize the reasons why! 谢谢 💕
This is arguably THE most important video about the Chinese language that I have ever watched. Thank you!
This really clarified a lot about complex sentences. The left-branching for relative clauses explains SO MUCH !
Hi! Right now I do not have much money to pay chinese classes I used to attend to. I am a Spanish speaker and I really thak you for these videos, they keep my mind fresh.
You have cleared everything for me. This is the most useful lesson i have come across.
I'm 13 and is currently trying to learn a third language. - Chinese.I really want to learn about 3 or 4 languages and your videos are really helping. ❤ Thank you for that by the way. There's something about Chinese that I feel myself attracted to.....

@@shabbirsalvatore6722 TAKE MY BROTHER AWAY IS AMAZING TOOOOO PLEASE GIVE IT A WATCH OR SMN--
@@shabbirsalvatore6722 I’m Chinese and also a teenager but it seems to me that I don’t even know what they r lol
I’d say if u really trynna learn how modern people communicate or more practical dialogues, go and check bilibili just like what I’m doing on CZcams to study English. That’s where we young people like to have fun
@@lunaleon3126 It’s not that we watch Chinese drama only to learn Chinese language or vice versa. It’s more relatable field for entertainment and also for learning. 😊
I noticed that Chinese grammar is almost the same as Korean grammar, except the SVO form.
The noun modifiers are also placed before the noun in korean as well.
In korean, you add ㄴ/은, which works like 的 in most cases.
East or West,
Grace is the best 老师 ❤️
怪不得感觉好想最近越来越多老外说中文时候有台湾腔了，原来是因为有个这么正的台湾妹做了这么专业的视频，就连我这个大陆人都忍不住看了好多集…… 厉害，加油。
This is the clearest explanation of Chinese grammar I've seen yet. 非常感谢，老师
你好， 同志！
it's really good. Grace 是好老师。
我已经两年学了中文了，确实这个视频帮我了解语法好一些。非常感谢您，老师。
Your professional stunk me and open my horizon in teaching. THX!!
Amazing idea with that sheet in the description, I feel like I took out of this lesson way more than I usually do. Thank you so much, i think you should do this more often ♥
very helpful. this would've saved me a few months of head scratching.
Ahhhh the "left branching" concept has helped me massively as a beginner. I didn't think about this before, thank you!
What an amazing explanation of this lesson! Really so clear!
This is an amazing video! I will definitely be sharing it 🤗
So very helpful!!
Finally! Just caught up with watching all of your videos! Excellent tutorials Grace. Well done and keep it up. I'm learning so much from you!
I'm glad I found your channel, this will definitely help with my self study
多谢老师！
我学中文学了半年。我很喜欢这个语言。我七百字/词研究了。你做很好的工作。你帮我很多。继续做好工作。😘 如果我犯了个错误，不好意思。
really love the explanation!
OMG this video helps me so muchhhh. Thank you :D!
Love you classes, so simple and easy to understand
Hi Grace! My native language is Turkish and is also a left side language. For example; eve gelen(who came home) çocuk (kid) = Kid who came home. I was always trying to use English word order when I try to practice my Chinese because i heard that they are both SVO, so close; but thank you, I won't try it anymore.👍🏻 Day by day, I see that Chinese is not only similar to English but also Turkish. It is close to agglilative languages around of it. We also add "mı, mi, mu, mü" to ask yes and no questions in Turkish. For example; "İyi mi?" means "Is s/he/it good?", and in Chinese it is 好吗？(hǎo ma?). We also have common words like yen- in Turkish, (means to win, from Ottoman Turkish yeng-, Old Turkic yeng-), 赢 （yíng）in Chinese (means to win), etc. I didn't know we have that much common. That makes me more enthusiastic to learn Chinese. Even though Chinese is not a agglilative language, it doesn't have irregular verbs as in any agglilative language. It is just like an agglilative language. For example we add -dı/di/du/dü to end of the verbs to create past tense, and you do the same thing with 了(le). Same for the other tenses. No irregularity, no plural suffix after plural objects (as in two pencils), no gender... I'm lucky than the other guys here who speak only English. Because i think Chinese grammatically is between Turkic and English. If there was Latin alphabet and no tones, it would be a piece of cake for me❣️✌🏻
This blew Chinese wide open for me - thank you for this video.
Thank you! Awesome video and explanations!
這個視頻很好看啊。謝謝老師。
The type of video I was looking for!
This is the most helpful video of learning Chinese, thanks for teach me:D
Great information, clearly explained. Thanks!
The dependent or attributive clause can precede (left-branches) the modified word in formal German and did so in Classical Attic Greek, so this was not unheard-of in Europe.
This is such a great video Grace. These videos are revolutionary in teaching and learning Chinese
Wow, thanks for your video. It is very clear and helpful 😸
This is very well explained and makes a lot of sense. 谢谢。
Thank you rly! Enjoyed it a lot! ♥️
Very useful! Thank you
This is really useful! Thanks
this video is very useful
非常清楚♥️
太棒的！多谢啊！
This is essential viewing for anyone who wants to be able to speak/write Chinese and not just read it. Thanks!
GENIA TOTAL!
谢谢Grace老师
不錯! 有幫助. 謝謝.
Thank you!
谢谢你
Ah, thanks! Further, as a beginner I find your Chinese speaking speed and clearness very understandable.

Thank you a lot 💙
thank you for teach and explain me
Thanks will look at your friend's page. We are lucky to have cool people teaching chinese online now 😉👍
Grace 是我的可爱中文老师。
小妹多谢！This is exactly what I've been looking for literally for the past year or so. I've been trying to learn Mandarin again but use an approach I'm more familiar with (understanding the grammar) but my BaBa hasn't been able to explain it very well (teaching and grammar are not his strong suits) so this is what I needed. 谢谢你！
BRO YOURE AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG XIEXIEEEE
Not going to lie, using (what I assume you have studied) actual models for the language, such as left branching, is very helpful!
谢谢老师
Now I have watched this video which teacher uploaded yesterday.
現在 我已經看完了 老師昨天上傳的 影片。
Perfect!!
Thank you so much! I was finding basic chinese grammer lessons. Your lessons are so helpful.
Hello friend 😊
I am also new beginner for Chinese language learning
Hey I love your content it is so great it is really helpful as I am a Chinese adoptee from Xi’an…love your content.
Wow thank you
thx for your video
常常看這頻道，來了解如何用英文思維來學習中文🤭
發現這樣學英文相當容易～
逆向操作😂
hi grace, i am learning chinese and I learned Russian before. you might find it interesting to know that in the present tense, in russian the verb to be is ellipsed, nearly as in chinese. no need to add a degree but a bit similar. the lamp is blue, becomes lamp blue(lampa sinaya) or I am grace becomes I grace ( ya grace) . my theory is that in most languages the most common words tend to evolve quicker and follow different rules> the verb to be is mosty irregular in many languages
Cool! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, high frequency verbs tend to be irregular much more often than low frequency verbs (to be, to go, to do, to have, to think... those are all irregular both in English and Spanish, and likely a lot of other languages). That might be due to them changing faster. It might also happen than less frequent verbs tend to stabilize in regular patterns because, being used less, it's harder to learn all different forms for them. It's probably a combination of both things.
说说老师真棒啊
Very helpful
Excellent !! Concise description of
basics of a language is the way to go---like using a reference grammar !!!
Also,
Subject Noun + Predicate Verb +
(2nd) PREDICATE Noun
Subject Noun + Predicate Verb +
PREDICATE ADJECTIVE (like good,
friendly, tall, short, etc)
Xiexie, Guo Laoshi !!! Zhu ni, hao
yunqi !!! Jia, you !!!
Thanks!
Thank you for your support! 💛
Gracias!!
I love your videos, i love mandarin
Thanks❤
Thanks
谢谢 爱你
謝謝你那麼努力的把中文和英文的語法說明， 讓大家能弄清楚。其實這些語法我都能了解， 也能使用， 但是有時我解釋不了了。
第一次看你回覆中文！不客氣，看完之後你也可以用這些來解釋了！:)
Thanks for the term left-branching. I've heard it said that Chinese is a topic-comment language. First the topic, then comments thereon. While Chinese sentences can be force-fit into STPMVO, a possibly awkward but grammatically correct word-order proceding as Grace teaches here is better.
But here is the thing , no one cares about the grammar mistake in China cuz sometimes we would even make those just for fun and turn them into a sort of ‘online language’
Pretty good stuff. Stay awesome :)
Accent of u English is so soft
I understand you more Grace
I LOVE UUU💗💗💗💗
State verb =‘Predicate Adjective
Hi, Grace! I've just found your channel and I think it's very helpful! I especially like the Chinese script part which contains both traditional and simplified! I'm learning Simplified Chinese but I'm also interested in the Traditional. Do you know any books which have both types of Trad.& Simplified? Thank you!
I missed subtitles, by the way it's an amazing video, your English is also awesome.
I'll upload subtitles soon!
Very interesting & useful.
But question- slithers say that Chinese is topic &’beginning of sentence if when speaker wants to emphasize some words ???
好可爱的小姐姐，过来学英文了
if u want to teach us phrases used in Chinese dramas
I would definitely suggest the series
count your lucky stars
I love it very much
😂3:15 for my Russian-English mind this feels like thinking inside out...
Need to get used to it.🙄
Anyway, it's the only way to be good at a language if you can master thinking in it!🧐
Lov from northeast India ❤️❤️
hey Grace can u do a 30 days Chinese conversational speaking course for beginners
I am now learning and i want to know how to talk about different things
and maybe teach us the top Chinese words that are used in daily life
and if u can do daily vlogs in Chinese would be great
there are a huge amount of pen strokes in a chinese character sentence. Is there a version of chinese shorthand for the characters that can be used to make notes in meetings?
Grace! I've been watching your channel for some time and it's so so helpful! I love the variety of language concepts you disclose, a lot of really important things are not even mentioned during our Chinese lessons, however many of those are actually fundamental to understand the language ;; Thank you so much for your hard work! 💗
i appreciate u
