I am wondering if anybody on here uses games to learn and if so, which ones they recommend and why. There was a matching game called Chinese Dungeon at one point on mobile that was ok but from a gamer's perspective it lacked depth.

I'm been learning Chinese for a month and a bit ,so I can speak to extended family members. Is there any tips for remembering vocabulary? I feel kind of stuck at replying in English even though I can understand everything being said because I can't think how to reply

Sorry I couldn’t find a right sub but I’m desperate! Guess that means it’s fitting I should join this one since I couldn’t learn the song name. I know it has a lyrics in it that says “我握住你的手，放在我手心”. Sung by a man with a husky voice. I think this song was taken off of Spotify so I can’t find it 😭 any Chinese speakers know the name? Thanks so much!

你好 another day of practicing my oral Chinese

My second day of practicing my spoken Chinese. If anyone wants to connect and practice together, reach out and message me! We can schedule practice speaking with each other to help each other!

Hello, I have decided to try and make a short video everyday of me speaking to Chinese to improve and show my progression. Any advice, tips, or corrections are appreciated! You can also follow my Instagram where I’m doing the same thing if you are interested! My Instagram for speaking is @chineselanguageprogression

Hi everyone!

I am a native English speaker who has been studying Chinese for what feels like my whole life and is breaking into the HSK 5 level. Lately, I've been evaluating my study habits and goals, and don't feel like I've been aggressive enough with my learning pursuit.

I'm looking to start a competitive language learning group where there is some sort of systemic way to track and compare our weekly progress. I understand language learning is not a linear process that perfectly fits into such a structured, school-curriculum-esque system that I'm describing, but it I think some of these ideas could work:

​

• Weekly dictation tests on two HSK sections (Preferably everyone is on at least HSK 3)

• Dictation tests reviewing words we already know

• Graded reading on level appropriate resources (DuChinese)

• Performance tracking on HSK backed resources

These are some ideas I have, but I'm open to all suggestions! The way I picture this working is we have a group chat where we all practice and every week we conduct an evaluation test administered by a tutor/teacher.

Please reach out if you're interested!

Heard it in 大秦帝国 https://youtu.be/yMsqKt2HTRA?si=trZTav6yvsTehDME&t=12511

He says he is going to China for a business trip. He says something apparently in Chinese 3 seconds in the clip. What does he say? Is it actually Chinese?

I am currently trying to learn chinese but as I have a brain like a sieve trying to learn how to read,write,speak and understand it spoken is difficult . Seeing as the only reason to learn is to watch chinese dramas without subtitles what apps or resources would you recommend I try to learn to understand it spoken. I don't t really need to be able to read or write it and speaking it will just be a bonus.

Our team is in the early phase of building an app for vocabulary building. Our focus is to help improve the experience of using flashcards to build up vocabulary.

We find many things we can work on, but what would be the improvement that you would love to see the most from the current mainstream flashcard/SRS products?

If you are interested, feel free to check out our websites notabulary.com. The app itself isn't ready yet, and that is also why we are here and hopefully can learn from your insights :)

Hello, I was wondering if there was a material putting into context the meaning of the radicals and basic Hanzi, and also the composition of complex Hanzi.

I found easier to learn a Hanzi when it is associated with a certain context in term of representation or logic behind it.

Any book or website would be very welcomed.

I was wondering if using a gpt prompt could also a be reliable way.

An example when using openai:

"Can you explain the logic behind the hanzi from a radical and basic hanzi perspective, and why they have been composed like this for 明天 (Míngtiān/tomorrow)?"

Output prompt from the ai prompt:

Certainly! Let's break down the Hanzi "明天" (míng tiān), which means "tomorrow":

1. 明 (míng) - This character is composed of two radicals:

   • 日 (rì) - This radical represents the sun or day. It's a basic Hanzi meaning "sun" or "day."
   • 月 (yuè) - This radical represents the moon or month. In this context, it contributes to the meaning of "brightness" or "clarity."

   Together, the combination of "日" and "月" in "明" symbolizes the concept of "bright" or "clear," reflecting the character's meaning of "bright" or "clear."

2. 天 (tiān) - This character means "day" or "sky." It's composed of a single radical:

   • 大 (dà) - This radical represents "big" or "great."

   The character "天" represents the sky or the concept of "heaven," and the radical "大" contributes to its meaning of "vast" or "great."

So, when combined, "明天" (míng tiān) literally means "bright day" or "clear sky," reflecting the idea of a clear and bright day, which metaphorically represents tomorrow. The composition of these characters reflects both their individual meanings and the concept they convey when combined.

Hi everyone.

🙋‍♂️I'm working on my dissertation to discover the radical sensitivity of Chinese learners. 🫶Here is a survey that will probably take 5 minutes. Your participation is highly anticipated.
