Hello everyone, Im Tim (神农).. I would like to
make this video because i want to let you see my
progress learning chinese (language learning experience)
umm You guys already know that
i have been studying chinese
Iv been studying chinese for 1 year now.
this... this passed year..
was and
has had a huge
impact, in regards to my life
because.. when i was younger, i didnt have the oppurtunity to study the chinese language
so..
Actualy, umm.. from that period in time
umm I had been very interested in (the idea of) studying chinese
At that time..
I was in History class (in school)
we began studying about China and its historical affairs
...and then i became more and more
infactuated ( drawn deeply)
torwards the Chinese language and culture
For exmaple.. Calligraphy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Chinese Martial Arts
excetra...
...This past year i have been listing to (traditional chinese music)
.. watched many different Chinese videos/ movies
These things also have had ..
a deeper meaning and also a deeper feeling to it.
I think its..
especially improtant in regards to China
and in regards to studying Chinese
but in those early days
I didnt have an oppurtunity to study
the chinese language.. so..
I slowly but surely started to increase my undrestanding about China
then.. This past year i started actually studying
Actually, I .. have never been to China before
but I..
I would like to go to China and teach English
so.. i independantly study
because i feel that... I am capeable
because i am capeable of teaching myself..
languages
As a matter of fact, I realized that..
i have succeeded
i have done a good job at my goal so far
because, my actual "goal" was
to study Chinese for one year, then..
see my immediate prgress and experience
So, I think that through studying a language
is relatively huge as far as
impacting my life
mm...
in this aspect, it alowed me to little by little
to be deeply connected
to chinese poeple (in general)
at the same time, their life style
and their language... I think that..
this experience is
extremely rich and abundant.
So, Everyday I try to understand
new topics (subjects)
in regards to the culture of the whole world
as well as the cultures within it.
umm.. what else..?.... OH!
Many poeple ask me..
How do you study the chinese language?
Your chinese has increased alot !
it has..
improved alot!
but, my answer (to the question) is
comprised of 3 notions
Firstly, I generally listen to alot of spoken dialogues
this allowed me to get used to the language.
I think that if
if you dont undrestand ( what is being said)
then, it would be relatively difficut to speak it.
.. mm so i think that..
Listening to alot of dialogues, is a verry important piece
um.. So..
secondly.. the second aspect..
I think that speaking with native chinese people
is another important aspect
I try to use chinese everyday
I guy a for suree sukha so sure
probably about..24 hours of the day.. hehe but of corse,
with Americans, i speak in English.
so, Each and every day i try to
communicate and speak in chinese with others.
as a matter of fact, every day i chat online
half of the day i have an oppurtunity to interact with chinese people
through chatting ( instant messaging)
and also chatting by voice
This aspect allows
me to increase my pronunciation
and also practice
my overall spoken chinese
Online i watch many videos
as well as chinese tv and film animations
tv stations
as well as watch many interviews
for example ... "说出你的故事"
and "爸爸去哪儿"
so..
The third aspect
I chat online and listen to alot of things
and listen to alot of things as an expamle.
...
also Listen to alot of important things
in constant repetition.
... as well as
listen to the radio.. etc
uhh.. when im watching a movie or video
see alot of interviews,
because this allows me to
get used to listening and and seeing the dialogues (through subtitles) and the
"every day spoken languguage"
and when im watching/reading
i write down some things (from the video)
things (from the video) that i dont understand
or that im not too familiar with..
because this lets me
study..
new words
then i look up the words in the dictionary
umm.. Alright~!
This is my language learning experience (in chinese)
if you have any suggestions
or you want to ask me some things
please write it down (in the comments section)
so.. thank you for listening to what i have to say..
see you again ~!
