Out of all the tutorial scrolling for Mandarin on KZfaq, this alone has helped me significantly more than the other videos I watched. Just listening into people's conversations on the street can increase your learning in a foreign language way more than the constant videos of people "Ni hao, wo jiao..." (but those still help). Thank you all so much for the series of Mandarin on the streets!

The reason I like this channel is because it actually helps you understand street talk, no other channel that's for foreigners does that, they always wash away that accent, making it much easier than it actually is.

无论是台湾，大陆，还是港澳以及海外同胞，我真是跪求你们不要互相诋毁对方了，团结一心推广自己的中华文化好吗？繁体简体重要吗？只要外国人喜欢学习中文，这一点就足够了。美式英语和英式英语也有不同，那又如何，喜欢的人还不是照样一起都看看，都学学。开心每一天就好啦。我觉得这个VIDEO 非常棒。

我只是觉得无论是繁体字和简体字，都是中华文字，我们中国历史文化都是通过繁体字记载的，某些台湾朋友你是不是中国人都没关系，没人在乎的，别强行说得好像繁体字是你们的“台文" 或者 “台字” 就可以了。我们中国目前正在使用的简体字其初衷是为了让大多数人快速掌握书写能力以方便接受文化教育，实际上繁体字书写只是没有在学校教育里进行而已，生活中遇到繁体字阅读大多数人都是能够看懂的，况且很多书法爱好者本身就具备书写繁体字的能力。最后，繁体字是汉字的书写形式，不是“台字” 谢谢，我坚决拥护繁体字的地位，反对台湾国将传统中华文化私有化的同时还要和“中国人”以及“中华文化”划清界限，贬低中国。如何坚持如此，建议自创“台湾话”以及”台湾字“

Hey, it's fantastic to see easy mandarin here on youtube. Personally I'm learning mainland mandarin, but I understand that with them not even having youtube it makes more sense to do this from Taiwan. I'd like simplified characters alongside the traditional ones personally, since I don't really understand the traditional characters (people comparing this to UK vs USA english are missing the point I think). But if it remains like this I'll still watch them. Some ideas for other videos, that I liked from easy german: ask them about what languages they speak/would like to learn, ask them about good/bad dates, ask them what makes them happy. Maybe some about their ideas about mainland chinese people, or americans would be interesting as well.
