1) I am sure I make lots of errors and will continue to do so. It has never been a problem. 2) I suggest that you do not correct people's language, nor point out that their hair is messy, unless they ask you to do so. 3) The word "which", as such does, not exist in Chinese as far as I can tell. 4) Your profile says "go China, go socialism, go communism". I presume this is intended tongue in cheek since there is neither communism nor socialism in China and you live in Toronto, not China.
Wow,awesome! I’m learning Mandarin too and love to focus most of my content in the target language on meta-learning strategies. You should put subtitles in your foreign language videos too :)
A year or so ago my chinese wasn't so good but after living in China for a year a can understand your videos perfectly. I am an Englishman but i feel i comfortable saying your Chinese is v good (especially considering you can speak so many other languages)
You're really good. You have a gift for languages. At present, I am learning English in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a very old and interesting city. I hope you can come to Chiang Mai one day.There are plenty of people are learning different types languages.
We teach Mandarin, and we loved this video. If you can you should add subtitles. You got another subscriber! thanks for spreading the love for this beautiful language. :)
I am not easily discouraged I can assure you. However, I am against correcting people when they speak, especially if they did not ask for it. This wangsishuo guy annoyed me because his comments were just silly. There is no word for "which" in Chinese so I could not have overused "which" in Chinese. I am quite sure, however, that I use constructions that are not native like. I doubt that he speaks Japanese. I think he was just trying to be clever.
I am less dogmatic than some of the folks at anti-moon but I believe in doing what you want. No pressure to speak. I spent at least 12 months on Russian (just part time of course) before speaking. Try LingQ.
so it is! I've just started watching your clips Steve as I'm about 5 months into my Mandarin study. Very impressive in 8 months (plus whatever input you've had in those 40 years ;) Would you recommend speaking already? As i've been following Antimoons method of just letting speaking come from alot of exposure to input.
@LilJellyS Don't believe in multiple souls but in broader view of world. In a few cases I lived in the country, in most cases I just studied at home. Go to LingQ and see how. Or Read my book, to be found on my blog, The Linguist on Language.
It is not necessarily bad, just not very productive, especially while people are speaking. It can discourage some people. It is more important to encourage people to use the language more. Most mistakes are corrected by the learners without intervention, and intervention rarely leads to corrected output.
Amazing! Steve,how can you make it to speak so fluent Mandarin? I may think you are a Chinese if I don't look at your face. 我想您所說的學語言7原則,一定是您學好華語的親身經驗與心得, 感謝您的分享!
I found your this film accidently, and I admire that you can speak ten languages. I'm also interested in learning new languages, but I just could speak Chinese, Taiwanese and English. I need more time to watch all your films in youtube. Finally, happy Chinese New Year! (By the way, how long do you speak Chinese?)
bonbon, Just be patient. Also focus on listening over and over to a limited amount of content, content you like and where you like the voice. Do not focus on individual sounds, they will come, get the rhythm. And be pateint.
I had a convrsation on the phone the other day and was ok with about 70% of it without asking that person for a translation. Although overall I'm still uncomfertable with it. Is it true you were able to speak on talk back radio in Mandarin (or Cantonese) after 4 months? That makes me curious as to what you consider full time and part time.

1.大脑是自己会学东西，经常在学习，大脑不能不学东西，它是为了学东西而搞的小机器。大脑有了刺激会发现自己的原则。大脑对一些有逻辑的有科学性的东西会比较弱。 2.input比output更重要，重视input。3.帮助大脑发现和注意到一些东西，需要多听多阅，学习单词和词组。学习文法，帮助大脑发现有什么缺点。4.要有感情emotion，有好奇心，有爱心，增加对语言的感情，对学习非常有帮助。大脑能做预料，会有动力。5.不要害怕改变，因为人们都习惯于自己的文化，要模仿另一个文化的行为的话会有抵抗，这个要尽量避免。6.课堂效率非常低，互联网有很多很丰富的内容。
来人啊，给课代表发小红花

I studied full time for 8 months about 40 years ago and have just kind of tried to keep it up.
steve 老师,我太佩服您了.我现在就是在用您的方法学英语,主要就是听和读.对语法并不太在意,不懂也不纠缠.我现在听英语障碍已经不大了.我听了8个月左右,每天5,6小时的NPR广播或者别的INTENET 广播.,看英语电视剧,读英语新闻,但是我现在还不能写,和讲.但是我觉得您的方法是绝对的正确.
可以分享下您现在新的感悟，写作怎么提高的？
谢谢！
謝謝😎
Steve老师说过，在课堂学外语效果不大。原来如此。我曾在补习班学过中文，难怪进步很慢。我好像白花了冤枉钱。如今是电脑时代。无论任何人，都可以随时随地用互联网免费学外语。可是我认为，外语学习没有捷径，还是得下功夫，锲而不舍的学才对。
@自由くたばれごみ 找个中国朋友就好了，没事交流很快的
您是日本人？教教我怎么学日文吧。我学了2-3年。五十音没问题，然后学了N5和N4。现在感觉还是没办法做简单的交流，也无法流畅阅读。是不是我得学完N3才能达到？
我覺得你只要尋找相似的語言就會學習得很快
譬如我學日文的時間就很快，只花一年就通過了檢定，但是我學英文花了三年卻依然文法很糟糕
@superdog797 Thanks for the support. It is greatly appreciated.
好敬佩您的学习语言能力，让我有了学习的动力!
中文说的真不错！！！祝老爷子身体健康！哈哈
很高兴您和我们分享语言学习的经验，谢谢您老先生！
幾年前因為看了您的片子激發起學英文的興趣,，現在正學法文，回來再看一次，對您還是很佩服。
@Gorrita615 It is up to the members to add lessons and there is nothing against adding lessons in traditional characters.
活到老學到老！！真是有意義的人生很讚！
比我爸爸妈妈的普通话还要标准，您中文太棒了！我目前在学英语听了一年，努力想突破口语😜
非常喜欢您对学习语言的分享！让我再次燃起学习语言的热情！
天哪！！老爺爺您的中文講得真的非常棒！！真的要向您學習！！
Done, thanks.
太精彩了！我在自学德语，遇到困惑时总能在互联网上找到惊喜！感谢Steve的宝贵经验！！！
太厉害了！！学了十种语言，而且中文听起来很流畅。I feel ashamed cause I learnt English for more than 10 years but still can't speak it very fluently.
謝謝您的愛💕與分享分析
Kaufmann power！！！ Professor of Language！！！现在我不得不佩服德语民族了，你们什么事都可以做的很好，赞赞赞。。。。
很欽佩你的語言能力!
Thanks Steve! You have inspired me!
Wow,awesome! I’m learning Mandarin too and love to focus most of my content in the target language on meta-learning strategies. You should put subtitles in your foreign language videos too :)
@Gorrita615 The best thing is for you to get on our Forum and say how much you would appreciate more content in traditional characters.
你是真正的勇者
勇敢的與自己的大腦固有模式對抗。英雄
When I saw "do toho" I knew it was either Czech or Slovak then I check at google translate.
您的說法很棒 謝謝您
祝老爷身体健康！
謝謝您，讓我學習有所改進
谢谢！向你好好学习！
I studied Chinese for about one year, over 40 years ago.
A year or so ago my chinese wasn't so good but after living in China for a year a can understand your videos perfectly. I am an Englishman but i feel i comfortable saying your Chinese is v good (especially considering you can speak so many other languages)
您中文說的真好!!
您中文说的真是棒！

老爺爺你好厲害噢
You're really good. You have a gift for languages. At present, I am learning English in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a very old and interesting city. I hope you can come to Chiang Mai one day.There are plenty of people are learning different types languages.
好強的人!學了10種語言，中文講起來也好流利

感謝您~
I am less dogmatic than some of the folks at anti-moon but I believe in doing what you want. No pressure to speak. I spent at least 12 months on Russian (just part time of course) before speaking. Try LingQ.
that only works for the interrogative which?, not for which as a relative pronoun.
他所提到的那个原因。The reason which he pointed out. Etc.
您的中文好棒。
That is amazing. How much time did you spend each day?
so it is! I've just started watching your clips Steve as I'm about 5 months into my Mandarin study. Very impressive in 8 months (plus whatever input you've had in those 40 years ;) Would you recommend speaking already? As i've been following Antimoons method of just letting speaking come from alot of exposure to input.
太帅了！！！❤厉害👍️
哈哈，大腦是為了學東西搞的小機器，好可愛！
哈哈
我现在在学英语，看了你的视频收获很大。

so inspiring and encouraging...
佩服之极，我的语言偶像！

首先，很谢谢您的分享，我听了你说很多语言，觉得你太不可思议了，而且每种语言都很流利！但是您所说的方法我觉得不是很全面，可以分享下，该怎么学习吗？
how long did it take to come to this level? How many sings do you know?
佩服！我昨天开始学法语，原因就是我认识了一个新的法国朋友。哈~
敬佩 老外說的一口溜中文
我想學外文卻滿是障礙呢
I'm so impressed!!! Definitely subscribe!!!
I found your this film accidently, and I admire that you can speak ten languages.
I'm also interested in learning new languages, but I just could speak Chinese, Taiwanese and English. I need more time to watch all your films in youtube.
Finally, happy Chinese New Year! (By the way, how long do you speak Chinese?)
Can you provide an English transcription?
老师您好！我想请问一下你可以帮组我学习英语吗？谢谢
佩服呀
+Steve Kaufmann 40 years ago when you studied for 8 months full time, how many words did you get in your vocabulary by the time you were done?
bonbon,
Just be patient. Also focus on listening over and over to a limited amount of content, content you like and where you like the voice. Do not focus on individual sounds, they will come, get the rhythm. And be pateint.
你的中文非常好。
您中文讲的太好了
I had a convrsation on the phone the other day and was ok with about 70% of it without asking that person for a translation. Although overall I'm still uncomfertable with it. Is it true you were able to speak on talk back radio in Mandarin (or Cantonese) after 4 months? That makes me curious as to what you consider full time and part time.
thanks, a new horizon in lingq
语言天才，敬佩
Wow, truly amazing!
how long have you been studying Chinese?
Which language is the most “useful “? Any order to learn these languages?🤔
请问您一天大概都花在读语文上多久呢？
一种语言要接触多久才能很流利呢？
good～I like that～it's very nice for me to learn languages.I want to learn more interesting things to explore my life!
天赋加动机，也是一种很重要的学习必具的元素。
I can tell that Steve really really appreciate learning and teaching languages.
請教一下~
之前很努力學文法~
結果文法頗OK的~會閱讀會聽~
但...就是不會說不會寫.....這是甚麼問題....
您学习的态度太好了，开始和其他对话不胆怯吗？请问您以前从事什么行业
OMG Steve!!!! u rock!!! i'm chinese and i cudn't speak half as good as u in mandarin! :D
thank you.
您学习的态度太好了，开始和其他对话不胆怯吗？请问您以前从事什么行业？
I have to say that your Chinese is so good!!!
Especially if you don't speak any English 🤣
Ikr
nice share for your show~
要有爱情！太对了！
老爷子,普通话说的很标准啊京腔,侯宝林的相声也听哈哈,来段儿 .
I have a question.There are so many different accents in every language, I prefer to know how you choose the accent while you're learning.
You don't choose any accent, you develop your own one which depends on your mother tongue.
学累了进来看看，觉得有动力了
厉害👍
