chinese's learning tips! 🌟🇨🇳
👀 watching a slow mandarin vlog 📽
#langtwt#studytwt#learnmandarin#learnchinese
do you find yourself tend to get bored watching short chinese cartoon like peppa pig or nailong? 🥱 or maybe chinese podcast is still too fast for you to keep up with? 😵💫
i've got you! 😋👌🏼
this channel posts slow mandarin vlogs where she talks about her daily activities using common, everyday vocabulary.
she talks slowly and very clearly, providing hanzi 汉字, pinyin 拼音, and the english translation.
this is really suitable for beginners (like me, hehe!) because it gives me time to process what she has said and the meaning, plus improving my listening and my vocabulary list! 📖🌟
go try giving her channel a visit! 👇🏻

The fastest way to stop mixing up 有点 / 一点 🇨🇳
They both mean “a little”.
But they don’t go in the same place.
有点 = a little + adjective
我有点累。
wǒ yǒudiǎn lèi
I’m a little tired.
这个有点贵。
zhège yǒudiǎn guì
This is a little expensive.
一点 = a little + noun / after verb
我会说一点中文。
wǒ huì shuō yīdiǎn Zhōngwén
I can speak a little Chinese.
请等一下。
qǐng děng yīxià
Please wait a little.
Easy rule:
有点 + adjective
verb + 一点 + noun
有点 often feels slightly negative.
A little tired.
A little expensive.
A little annoying.
