I like the way you show us both Traditional and Simplified form of Chinese so that we can learn both at the same time. I wish you could write the characters on top of Chinese characters Bigger. Thank you Ms. Guo. You"re an excellent Chinese teacher.👍🙂🙏🏾

Guess I just got used to it. Some of those sounds, I didn't think sounded different but I guess you're being pretty thorough and I appreciate that :-)

    I've learned a lot form this vid as a native speaker lol ;) but I'm wondering why in this video January is pronounced as *yíyuè* instead of *yīyuè* ? Im asking because the rule is when 一 (yī) appears as an ordinal number (as in "first"), or as a number in a series, address, or date, it is pronounced without the tone change (regular first tone "yī")

    嗨!謝謝你提出的好問題! 既然你是母語者我就用中文回覆,我剛剛搜了一些相關的語音材料,發現兩個發音都有人說,甚至有同個人在不同的語境下用不同的唸法。我的推論是雖然字典上「一月」是標 yīyuè ,但實際口語表達當我們說得比較快時,可能就出現了變調,但也根據個人說話習慣而定。在影片中我可能就以我自己的語感發了「一月」的音,並沒有多想。謝謝你的觀察!之後如果我要教這個詞的話,我再多注意一下☺ (對了 我之前看過你的影片很喜歡你的風格!💛)

    Everyone should check out your zhuyin video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c398l6uBmMW7haQ.html I like the "your turn" parts! It's unfortunate that pinyin seems to be used more than zhuyin/bopomofo. Having learned with both, I've always felt that zhuyin makes pronunciation very clear, whereas there's some uncertainty with pinyin. Maybe there will be a video sometime where lao shi will start singing: "bo po mo fo, de te ne le" 😂 (I didn't know there were so many versions. I like one that I saw in Qiao Hu)
