Discover what you need for finding your Mandarin voice, and FINALLY hear natives clearly and sound natural in Chinese!
Our interview series with the most successful Mandarin learners is back! Learning Chinese as an adult might seem IMPOSSIBLE, but today my friend Laura is gonna tell us how Learning Chinese transformed her career, sending her to the Dutch Embassy in China, the United Nations in New York, and then Stanford as a researcher. How did she learn and how does she keep it up? You’ll definitely wanna hear and implement what she has to share.

I started learning chinese a year ago (at the age of 48) just for the fun of it and because I think China and Chinese is very interesting. Great to hear a fellow Dutchy speak Chinese so fluently! Very very impressive! And I can also hear her Dutch accent, which is very recognisable 😊. I hope to be able to speak Chinese like that one day. Groetjes aan Laura!

I wish I could learn to speak another language that well. Her Mandarin sounds pretty good to me.

这个视频很有趣！Laura 说的非常好！对我来说跟非母语者的对话对我很有用，因为说中文的非母语者说得比较清楚 😊 Laura 说英语的时候有荷兰的口音（我说荷兰语说得很流利）不过她说中文的时候听不了荷兰的口音

I'm not Dutch and her tones sound strange to me at a bunch of points. Most the non-native speakers I here are either English, Japanese, Vietnamese or Korean speakers, so maybe I'm used to different languages' influence on tones, though.

"文化和语言是分不开的“ I dont think she could have said it any better. Amazing video!

我跟你同意！不过很多人学英语，说英语，可是他们没有对英语文化感兴趣和不知道英语文化，因为英语就是很奇怪的语言.非母语者比母语者很多很多，那么非母语者学英语因为他们想跟别的非母语者交流

@@timothydouglas9474 你说的我也非常同意啊，接触一门语言的具体文化是一个方面很多母语者闲置，并对语言的内在文化算是不存在的，唯一非母语者因为从完全不同的文化背景开始接触这门语言的文化从而真正的体会到的，你说的很有道理。

Learning Chinese seems to have touched her deeply in ways she couldn't have predicted. Having taken your pronunciation course, I can hear a few accent issues in her speech, but obviously they don't inhibit her communication much. Suggestion for future interviews: use two microphones, because sometimes it's a bit difficult to hear your response when she has the microphone. I don't know what hardware you are using, but I think it shouldn't be difficult to add a second microphone no matter what you have.

我如何保持我的语言能力？事实上，我使用了很多方法。我的技术水平还不是很高，但是已经足够我可以交朋友了。我可以问简单的问题。作为一名经常在美国各地出差的护士，我通常会选择来旧金山。旧金山有很多中国移民。当我听到有人说普通话时，我通常会自我介绍。这让我有机会结交朋友并练习口语和听力。一举两得。我还使用一个名为“DuChinese”的阅读程序....我复制笔迹。然后我尝试给中国朋友读这些小故事。我很高兴找到你的视频。你的视频看起来很有用。

Have quite appreciated these videos up until now, thought Mairead's Chinese was very interesting to listen to, very educational. Can't help but feel that this girl's pronunciation is all over the place-her tones in particular seem off. A good example of what not to do when learning Chinese (or indeed, any language)-pronounce it badly without realising it. Couldn't get through more than a couple of minutes of it, but that's educational too, I suppose. Appreciate the upload either way.
