不客气：you’re welcome

不谢/不用谢：no need

How to intensify something in Mandarin Chinese

Basically just some different ways to say ‘very’ with different strengths and subtexts

很      hěn        very   the most basic and uncomplicated way to say very 

真      zhēn      really, truly

挺      tǐng        outstanding, extraordinary, very

蛮      mán       quite, pretty   colloquial

好      hǎo        very, quite      colloquial

超级  chāo jí    super-, ultra-, hyper-

特别  tè bié      particularly, especially

极了  jí le         extremely    as opposed to the ones above, this expression is put                          behind the word it corresponds to

死了  sǐ le         extremely, lit.: to death   this expression is also put behind the                              word it corresponds to; it’s mostly used in a negative context                                (e.g.: 饿死了 ( ě  sǐ le) - to be hungry to death; to be starving)

[sooloosulu]

非常- especially, unusually, extraordinarily

十分- 100%, completely

Another thing to note is that in formal and academic contexts it’s always best to use the two character intensifiers. One character ones are more basic, colloquial, and casual. Two character ones are more highbrow, sofisticated fancy academia

[languagesorwhatever]

using languages other than your native language like

reading: i am the avatar, capable of mastering all of the languages

writing: alright, yeah this isn't so bad

listening: whoa there partner i sure would appreciate if you could you say that at half speed and repeat it a couple of times for me

speaking: let me practice this 3 word sentence 20 times in my head and look up each word in the dictionary and make sure i have all the right forms before i ever say it to another human being

Mandarin Chinese: Comparisons

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted in a while, school started and it’s taking up a lot of my free time. Anyway, here’s a grammar post about making comparisons using 比 and 比 ＋ 更。I hope this is helpful for you guys!

Using 比

比 is basically equivalent to the English word ‘than,’ but the sentence structure in Chinese is rather different from in English. It might take a bit to get used to it, but here’s the basic structure:

Noun #1 + 比 + Noun #2 + Adjective

For example: 

English: Xiao Li (noun) is taller (adjective) than (比) Xiao Zhang (noun)

Chinese/English: Xiao Li - than - Xiao Zhang - (is) tall(er) 

Chinese: 小李比小张高。

(Some more examples)

上海比纽约大吗？

Is Shanghai bigger than New York?

她比她妈妈漂亮。

She is prettier than her mother.

苹果汁比橙汁甜。

Apple juice is sweeter than orange juice.

Using 比 ＋ 更

When you use 比 and 更 together in a sentence, you are saying ‘even more (than something).’ The structure is pretty similar to the previous one (with just 比), so it shouldn’t be too difficult after you get used to that one. Here it is:

Noun #1 + 比 + Noun #2 + 更 + Adjective

Example: 

(this is implying that Xiao Zhang it tall, but Xiao Li is even taller)

English: Xiao Li (noun) is even (更) taller (adjective) than (比) Xiao Zhang (noun)

Chinese/English: Xiao Li - than - Xiao Zhang - even more - tall

Chinese: 小李比小张更高。

(More examples of this)

我哥哥比我更高。

My brother is even taller than me.

他比我爷爷更老。

He is even older than my grandfather.

我比王朋更快。

I am even faster than Wang Peng.

As always, please let me know if you have any corrections and/or questions. Also, if you’d like pinyin for anything, let me know, I’ll be glad to add it. I hope you all find this helpful!

This is my #1 language learning tip!  I’ve been asked to explain this many times so here we go

This map is from an app called periscope. It is a live streaming app much like Facebook or Instagram live, and it’s super easy to watch live streams from all over the world! 

“Why is this so great?” You might ask. Well… 

1. You can get great listening practice with native speakers talking about real life things (how their days was, a funny story, listening to and talking about music) 

2. You can hold a convo through their commenting system to practice reading/writing 

3. It’s easy to make friends! Finding people to follow is as easy as picking a country and browsing who is broadcasting at the moment 

ALSO red broadcasts are happening right now and blue are old ones. If you feel intimidated, watch some blue ones with no pressure of them knowing you’re there. I hope this app helps some of you with your language studies!

Introduction

Hello everyone! I’m Nana! NIce meeting you all! ^^

I’m a 14 (soon to be 15) year old, living in Jakarta, Indonesia. I’m currently in year 10, taking both the national curriculum and O Levels. For the national curriculum, i’m majoring in Social Sciences, which means i’m taking Economics, Geography, History and Sociology (and about 10 other subjects which is tbh too much).  And i’m taking Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Maths (But i’m planning to take Business and Economics for my A Levels). We Indonesians called it as Korban Salah Jurusan :’)

I’m also learning languages, primarily Mandarin and Korean. Other than those two, i’m pretty much fluent in English and Indonesian. 

And i’m not good at editing nor taking pictures, so do note that my pictures are not aesthetic, at all actually. And i’m thinking of making a studytube in the near future.

Can I become Fluent in ______ in ______ months/weeks/days?  No. You can’t. 

Can I learn Japanese from just watching Anime/Korean from Kpop/Chinese from Wuxia films? Not on your life. Do you only speak the english you know from Spongebob? N'SYNC? The 300? Didn’t think so.

What about Rosetta Stone? For $180-$399 dollars? Are you insane? The program is built to teach you the Romantic languages.  If you buy Rosetta stone for $400, and pass up every free resource on this list, I doubt your desire to actually learn anything. Don’t do it to yourself. That is a lot of money you probably won’t get back.

But I heard that Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Arabic/etc is really difficult: Well if over a billion Chinese people can speak Chinese, why can’t you? No really, don’t let something like this bother you. No, this is not the ease of moving from a English to a Romance language or German, but hey, if you wanted to learn German (and all those ridiculous cases) you’d be doing that. 

But what about ______? I have knowledge on resources mostly limited to JPN/CHI/KOR classes. This is a participatory list, which I am more than grateful to take submissions for.

‘5 a Day’ challenge (learn around 500 new words by 2018)

This wonderful post here got me thinking about how realistic and manageable learning five new words a day actually is, and I’ve come up with a challenge. It’s primarily aimed at language-learners, but if you have a butt-load of definitions to learn it could be useful (although, I recommend only learning 3 longer definitions a day) or for law cases if you just need the name and a sentence about the case eg - Ireland;Burstow (1997) - silent phone calls can be assault.

The challenge:

Starts - Monday 4th September Ends - Sunday 31st December

How it works:

Monday to Saturday, you learn five new words each day, and on Sunday you revise the words and focus on the ones you find difficult.

Monday to the next Saturday, you learn another five new words each day, and on Sunday you revise that week’s words AND the previous weeks’ words. 

And so on.

Each Sunday you revise all the previous words - just a brief check for those you know, and spend a little more time on those you don’t.

By the end you’re should have learned around 500 new words!

300 Basic Words Prompt

Here’s the blank prompt from @funwithlanguages for learning a new language’s 300 basic words! I’ve seen these filled out lists floating around langblr but decided to post a blank copy for anyone interested in using it as practice for target languages. An excerpt from the original post: 

You can express yourself surprisingly flexibly when you know 300 well-chosen words (and grammar) in a language. … Here’s the list of 300. I hope it’s a useful guideline and starting point for you. … In addition to these general words, there will probably be some others that will be among the most useful for you (e.g. “class” if you’re a student). When you find yourself using them again and again, learn them too. 

You should really think of this as a list of concepts. Your goal isn’t to translate each word to a word in your target language, but to figure out how to express that concept in your target language. In some cases, a concept may translate to multiple words (for example, I listed “you” as a concept, but in some languages there are different words for “formal you” and “informal you”). Some concepts may translate to no word at all, but rather a certain grammatical structure (for example, Russian doesn’t use the verb “have”; to say “I have a cat” in Russian, you say “at me there is a cat”).

So share this like the wind! Use this as a starting point for a new target language, use this as a weekly test for yourself to practice, whatever. Edit it however you need to in order to best suit your target language and your individual needs.

Hey, could you explain the difference between 和，跟，and 而? They all translate as "and" when I look them up, but are they interchangeable? Thank you so much!

Hello! ^-^

Yes, you’re right that 和, 跟, and 而 all mean “and” but they’re not quite always interchangeable. Chinese is a bit complicated that way.

和 means “and” when you’re linking nouns and adjectives together. For example:

我喜欢香蕉和苹果。Wǒ xǐhuān xiāngjiāo hé píngguǒ. I like bananas and apples.

跟 means “and” but also in the sense of “with” and in this sense it can be interchangeable with 和 when linking nouns, but not when linking adjectives.

她跟她的朋友去看电影。Tā gēn tā de péngyǒu qù kàn diànyǐng.She and her friend go to the movies.

Here, you could also say “She went to the movies with her friend,” and the Chinese sentence would remain unchanged.

而 is a bit more complicated, because it’s not used to link nouns and adjectives, but rather verbs and phrases. In these cases, you cannot use 和 or 跟. 而 (or 而且) means “and” in the sense of “furthermore.”

我去了花园, 而且我看到了花非常美丽. Wǒ qùle huāyuán, érqiě wǒ kàn dàole huā fēicháng měilì.I went to the garden, and the flowers I saw were really pretty.

I hope this is clear enough! If there’s anything confusing, I can try to explain it a different way.
