    @@AmelieZh 不要对广西口音有太多刻板印象,这里是桂林不是南宁,不存在什么夹壮话或南普,桂林人要么讲桂柳话,要么讲比较标准的普通话。另外,南宁、来宾等口音也代表不了广西。广西还有很多讲类似粤语的地方,那些地方普通话口音和广东的一样一样的。所以根本不存在所谓“广西口音”,广西只有某个城市的口音。

    Hi, there, Oli. Your spoken Chinese has certainly improved since the first time I watched your video using my other KZread account (CanaanOptical) and you're certainly qualified to be more confident. I really enjoyed this particular upload because of personal interests. I was supposed to travel to Shenzhen (from Malaysia where I am a citizen) in early 2019 to teach English in an international school there but my plans were thwarted by the C-19 pandemic. Glad to see you and your dad having the time of your lives in my 'homeland' and speaking well of it in contrary to what the western media would have the world believe. Thanks and God bless! 赵耀胜 Jeremy p/s This clip is a bit shorter than your usual uploads and more suitable for me to share with my friends. Thanks and take care.

    The best students are those who are interested in the subject. They are self-motivated, so they absorb lessons like a sponge. It's very enriching to go beyond vocabularies and intonation and study the history of China. Yes, Chinese think about their ancient history in terms of dynasties. More doors of opportunities will open to expats with mastery of the Chinese language and an understanding of how the culture evolved through ages.

    My ancestral province is Guangdong, only visited once. Loved Yangshuo. It has the best of both worlds. I'm not into "Western brands" like Starbucks or McDonalds but the visual familiarity helps ground me in an otherwise bewilderingly ALIEN place. We visited Yangshuo in 2018 and we had a breakfast in a shop just like the one at the beginning of your video with all the great condiments, sitting at a low table with low stools with our guide. We found her - or rather she found us - just walking around on our first night just keeping panic at bay because there were no "motorer" to get back to the hotel. On that breakfast street alone, there were several Chinese language schools. Remarked to my daughter that this would be the perfect place to get fluent in Mandarin. Maybe one day! It's so beautiful.

    Fantastic insight. Looks like a great learning environment for a student. They provide onsite accommodation there. I myself have been in contact for several months with Omeida through one of their reps, Anya. Obviously learning Mandarin Chinese is the primary reason. But it provides a convenient excuse to return to China itself by getting around an L tourist visa. At the moment, X1 type study visas are not being issued to people in my situation (from Australia). However that should change before the end of this year (assuming the Australian Government let's us out!) Your Chinese sounds good enough to be rated at A2 or nearly intermediate level. You'll thrive at Omeida.
