I don't know Korean fluently and now I'm learning Chinese 😂😂 Rip my interest

I want to study Chinese because there are so many Chinese drama without English sub.

I'm a native Chinese speaker.Why am I whatching this 🤔🤔🤔

"Learning the Chinese alphabet in less than 20 minutes" *I can't remember a single thing.*

Now I realized how easy Korean is...... quite likes .... ooh ty tho

I find it so fascinating that Chinese people have to learn every single word individually

Heyy, I'm Indian🇮🇳 After I started watching Chinese drama I felt like I was learning Chinese and then I couldn’t stop Because I like China so much😻💋

Anybody got interested in learning chinese just to watch chinese dramas or is it just me? 🤷🤣🤣

Anyone here trying to be multilingual like wayv ??? Ok only me....

Since I am a native Hindi speaker, this was not much difficult for me!! 😊 Thanks for this video!

I'm done learning Korean and got improved my French. I'm also learning Japanese and Russian and now planning to learn Chinese. I was raised and born in Philippines who grew up bilingual.

I was learning Korean Alphabet: Easy Language: Insane 🔥 While chinese: Language:Average Alphabet:Insaneeee

17/11/2020 This is my first Chinese lesson, I'm a big fan of China , I hope one day I study, work and live there ( it's hard and impossible but may a miracle happen ) From Tunisia

I’m a Taiwanese person and the alphabet is actually not used a lot outside of school it’s only used in school so students can understand how to pronounce some Chinese words they haven’t learnt yet. So if you wanna get the basics down start from here!

Believe me, if you are Indian or know marathi Hindi or sanskrut it's most easy for you to learn Chinese Best of luck to all learners ,👍🏻

Man I thought learning Chinese would be difficult but every pronunciation was so easy and exactly sounds like words in Hindi

Done learning korean. Now wanna learn Chinese ❤️🎉 as an Indian, these languages are so easy. 😭❤️ Thank you so much god

i'm studying chinese because i'm very very interested in poetry and music, i think that the poetry and songwriting from each language shows how cool they all are and a lot of that can't be translated perfectly :] so i'm learning lots of languages to appreciate them more. even though that's my main reason, this is actually the first language where i'm focusing on writing, spelling, reading, etc. first since i'm trying to practice that way of studying/learning, and i figured this out waaay faster than when i was learning japanese kana on my own lol. thank you for the video!!

"Use your imagination"lol. That's why I love learning Chinese. Thank you so much for this video...and you even spoke Spanish!!!!!♡♡♡♡♡♡

It's so tough to learn this . I appreciate chinese people

This video is so creatively made. I don't why this video has not much views. This is better than all other KZfaq videos on Chinese alphabets.

This is my first time learning chinese and your video is the first learn chinese video Ive watched

I want to learn Chinese because Chinese is a vital and important language and also I love speaking and learning different languages

I guess as a native German speaker, some pronunciations are easier but I just noticed that Chinese alphabet is funny bc for every single sound, there is a sign/letter. The different pronunciations in German just happens while talking/ speaking complete words but in chinese there is a sign for each sound xD

One of the best videos on the introduction of learning 注音!

I've been struggling with my 80 yr. old brain for awhile with the alphabet, and had just about given up. Then I chanced upon your video, and it has been given in such a clear, precise and professional way that I am amazed. Thank you so very much, young lady, I shall revert back to this video as needed, but you set me on the proper path.

Having taken French & Russian, the Chinese alphabet is similar (to me) to learning Cyrillic. Cyrillic has many diphthongs combined to make one letter rather than separating them out into separate letters. This, to me, is fun!

I am Mexican. I have learned English and Japanese. I always loved how chinese sounds so today I start my learning. Hopefully I can learn it ❤

Actually I never knew that Chinese has alphabets, I thought I should just memorize every word and I can never read any new words unless I'm already familiar with it

The problem is I'm not good at imagining. Except from imagining that Darren Chen became my boyfriend😂

I have been speaking fluent Cantonese and some Mandarin for my whole life but somehow I still don't know how to write and properly read so I am putting up a challenge for myself to learn Chinese properly and also try to learn some Korean. This was a really helpful video thanks!

in brief: This video provides a detailed introduction to the Chinese phonetic system, often referred to as the Chinese alphabet. The video emphasizes that this "alphabet" is designed primarily to assist with pronunciation, since written Chinese relies on character-based radicals instead of a typical alphabet. The Chinese phonetic system is colloquially known as "Bopomofo," named after the first four letters: bo, po, mo, fo. The video covers two main systems for writing the Chinese phonetic system: the Pinyin system, which is widely used in mainland China, and the Zhuyin system used in Taiwan. The Pinyin system uses Latin letters, whereas the Zhuyin system uses unique symbols. The host suggests that learners start with Pinyin due to its familiarity and ubiquity, but advises considering learning Zhuyin as well to avoid common pronunciation errors that come from applying English pronunciation to Pinyin. The video then proceeds to provide a comprehensive walkthrough of the Chinese phonetic system, offering unique mnemonic devices for each initial (beginning sound) and medial (middle sound) in the system. These sounds are divided into several groups based on their pronunciation characteristics: -labial initials, -dental initials, -guttural initials, -palatal initials, -retroflex initials, and -dental sibilant initials. Each initial is illustrated with a corresponding example, Pinyin representation, and Zhuyin symbol. The host connects each symbol to a memorable image or idea to aid learning. The video also introduces three medials, providing similar mnemonic techniques for each. The video emphasizes that proper Chinese pronunciation also involves different tonal qualities, but leaves this topic for another discussion. The text is providing a mnemonic and visual guide to learning the Chinese alphabet, specifically focusing on the zhuyin system, also known as Bopomofo. - The symbol ㄠ is described to look like two bent knees of someone who's fallen, with its pinyin being AO. - The next symbol, ㄡ, is reminiscent of a bow tie in the process of being tied, pronounced OU in pinyin. - For ㄢ, the best English equivalent given is the 'a' sound in the Spanish word for bread, 'pan'. The pinyin is AN, with the zhuyin potentially resembling a baker's hat. - The pinyin for ㄣ is EN. It's best compared to the "-un" part in the phrase "young'un", suggesting an older person referring to a child. - The pinyin ANG corresponds to the symbol ㄤ, described as being similar to the word "wrong" without the 'wr', or like an 'a' sound followed by 'ng'. - ㄥ is likened to the word "dung" without the 'd', spelled as ENG in pinyin, with the zhuyin resembling a nose sniffing dung. - Lastly, ㄦ (pinyin ER) is compared to the uncertain sound of "err..." one might make when hesitating in speech. The text encourages multiple repetitions of these lessons, possibly with songs in Chinese, to aid learning. It also suggests visiting the website singandlearnchinese.com to download a Chinese pronunciation chart, and to check out the Sing & Learn Chinese song teaching videos for further practice. It ends by encouraging learners to share their new knowledge and promising more videos in the future.

I love to learn Chinese language because of my obsession for Bingya Yuan, Zhao Lusi, Cheng Yi and Allen Ren.

It's hard for the beginner to learn Zhuyin without knowing Chinese characters. I highly recommend people who don't know much about Chinese to learn Pinyin first.

oh my gosh, I am literally crying, this helped me soooooo much. I was so confused about learning both but you actually explained what you should learn !!!!!!!! and I was able to understand everything, thank you 💙

Best explanation on KZfaq!!!😘

I'm 19 years old girl from India. I'm here to learn Chinese language bcuz I'm fond of learning languages 😌 ur video helped me a lot. Thanks for your support ❤️❤️ Few months ago I also learned Korean language it's very interesting language i really enjoyed learning.

RIP to my mouth and tongue. 🤐 Thank you for this video. Everything is very clear and the video is fun to watch and follow.

I‘m a native chinese speaker. And I'm trying to find some guys speaking English, especially the native speaker, to help me improve my oral English. If somebody needs a chinese partner to practice Chinese, I will glad to help. I think both of us will learn a lot form each other. If you need a chinese friend, please common below for more detials.

Im Brazilian and learning my fourth language (Chinese), its really funny how similar the sounds in Chinese can be with Brazilian Portuguese!

Your teaching skill is so good

I really want to learn Chinese language.. Because my best friend and BF is from china.. And I want to go China.. That's why I'm so serious for Chinese language... 💜🥰😘🇨🇳💜🇮🇳

I want to learn Chinese because I heard it's one of the most important languages in business and manufacture... and I also enjoy watching chinese dramas :)

I already am Taiwanese and I know all this, but just wanted to review it 😂

To me pinyin is a lot lot easier especially with the simplified form. Note: overall your video is very interesting.

Actually it's really easy for French speakers , a lot of letter sounds exactly the same in French and I absolutely love it!

Its awesome and I am learning Chinese because I want to become an Chinese actress so wish me luck that my dream come true

My chinese learning experience is ... very strange. I never learnt how to pronounce letters, I just went into vocabulary and grammar, surprisingly? This worked ...

I'm just here to learn Chinese so I can read.... ehem... bl mangas.... But nonetheless this is the best and easiest video for u to get started in learning Chinese. Her voice is so alive I feel like a kindergartner. Thank you for the free lessons!

I am trying to learn chinese thanks to Wayv!

I’m only 3 minutes into this vide and it is already one of the most impressive instructional videos I’ve ever seen. I’m so impressed. I’m still terrified to learn Chinese, but slightly less now with her.

Did anyone elses mouth get tired from saying these? Kudos to everyone who can speak chinese 👏

I'm a Spanish speaker. Who's not very fluent yet in Spanish, but I like languages. I can speak Spanish, Tagalog, and Portuguese. I love kung fu movies and would like to learn Chinese to understand whats going on in the martial arts movies I love to watch. I learned a lot from this video. Gonna have to watch over and over to get it. Thanks!!

This is one of the best language teaching videos I’ve seen if not THE best and most memorable. Bravo!! You’re an amazing teacher, can’t wait to watch more of your videos.

Honestly speaking , this is such a great teaching and learning lesson for Chinese alphabets in accordance with English alphabets and those impressive pics to help learners memorize better ! Great job and thx!

Used to learn Chinese alphabets pobomo...when I was young but have forgotten how to use them, now I can learn from this video, thank you.

I love these mnemonics for Bopomofo! It reminds me of when I was learning Japanese Kana using mnemonics.

Love how how you share the Chinese alphabet thank you!

After seeing Chinese character I realized how easy Korean is.. But still keep going

I'm learning Chinese using a tool that shows flash cards in hanzi for you to read. When you hit the space bar it gives an audible pronunciation and also shows the pinyin. For me I found that using this method I picked up pinyin without really thinking about it. At the start I would write down the hanzi character followed by the pinyin followed by my best attempt to write it phonetically in English. I did find that my home grown phonetic approach had a tendency to lose the tonal content a bit so beware lol. I now find that I can read the pinyin and in many cases I don't need the pinyin either. The biggest hurdle I have now encountered is trying to understand someone speaking to me. It's the classic ask a question you have practiced only to find you don't understand a word of the reply lol.

Yes,when compared to Chinese Korea is very very easy 😉 I'm an Indian but still I love South Korea even learning Korean language 💜

I watch so much Chinese dramas and now is lil bit easy to me learn Chinese

learning korean and chinese at the same time korean for kpop and chinese for drama and this video was really helpful

Thank you so much. Recently I start to learning Chinese. This helped me so much for beginner as me.

Because I learned japanese before, I read some symbols as japanese hiragana or katakana. Like さ (sa) or ヌ (nu).

@Sing and Learn Chinese This was a great video! Xie xie. This is the first video I've found that teaches the pronunciation of the Chinese alphabet. Plus you have a very lovely and pleasing voice. You have a new subscriber. I look forward to hear you sing in the other videos. I wish I saw this 12 months ago when you uploaded it. haha.

I'm from Kerala,India... I'm the woman who dont even speak my mother tongue(malayalam) well.. and has huge desire to learn chinese&korean.. 😁😁😁 Dear Xiao Zhan&Wang Yibo, I'm learning this because of you two...😂😂😂😂😂

As a malayalie,( Kerala, INDIA) pronunciation is quite easy for me. I think almost all indias got the pronunciation correctly as its similar to our dialects ❤

This was very helpful in learning pin-yin ! Learning Mandarin is such an exciting journey 🥰🤓

Amazing channel. This lesson was a big help!

Your video helps me in pronounciation of bopomofo, thank you very much

THANK U SO MUCH I APPRECIATE IT 😭💖
