Live Broadcast!!! 直播 | Learn Chinese Now

all right hello go and drop another ha when you're shorter and lower tiny is now the true boss so welcome everyone to learn Chinese now's live broadcast or I think that's the correct way around let me know if that it or not I've got it written the normal way as well just because the camera actually you know turns things around because I'm using the camera points at your face on the iPhone what this says says Dave somewhere on me ha left buttcheek says neha anyhow so this is our live broadcast or so you guys who are watching this why don't you just tell me are those characters written the correct way around because I just want to know whether my phone's camera is flipping the video round so if you see that the correct way realm tell me if not I've got it written the wrong way round there Fabio where the hell have you been sorry guys well instead of saying that so yes this is the correct way around now right Drupal it is huh okay all right my wife's just said it from from watching on another phone so if you learn even just one thing today on this live broadcast so this is a bit dirty yeah I was the only white bit of cobbler I could find if you learn only one thing today you will learn the Chinese word for live broadcast which is June 4 so drew it kind of means like straight or direct like if you say Jude so it means to walk straight okay or eg means like all the way like Ichiro or something like that Eric it means straight and then four is the word for broadcast so judge report is live broadcast so yes that is our word for the day report we'll keep saying it clear concise yeah what's a giant wish her money or shunt when you can so people are probably thinking why haven't we been uploading to the channel I thought this channel was dead and yet to be honest it's been just because I'm too busy with other channels so right now my main channel is the credit shufoo which is okay someone's just written to if they yes that means a direct flight so you can see the same word and then instead of four you would have faith like Fiji that they is in airplane flying fake and should if they means a direct flight anyway as that's another use of Jude but anyway so yeah right now my main channel is the credit Shifu so if you want to learn how to improve your credit score or reviews of travel credit cards using points for business class that can I think you can check out that channel the credit shuffle but yeah basically it's been that I haven't really had time to do the learning Chinese channel learn Chinese now so basically I am kind of thinking that we may do some live broadcasts just because it's much easier to do I can just do it live don't have to edit it and we can pick one bit of vocabulary each week so this week's word is Jude for the word for live broadcast I'm gonna drum this into you guys head so you're really gonna remember it by the end of this video okay okay Ethan says I've been watching a lot of the learn Chinese Channel thank you so much Ethan thanks for watching our channel even though we haven't been uploading so much recently or at all so it's kind of funny we've gone from like 40,000 subscribers to 170,000 in the time that we haven't been uploaded we have been subscribing to the channel even though we haven't been uploading and also I want to show you guys something and also I want to show you this to say thank you to everyone who has subscribed but this here this is actually our 100,000 subscribers silver play button kind of plaque think so yeah but basically that's it that you can see the reflection of my daughter's toys but yeah thanks so much guys for subscribing cuz he got us this and I do want to try and upload a few videos to this channel maybe do a weekly live broadcast and just focus on like one bit of vocabulary each week for example today's bit of vocabulary is dribble or the word for live broadcast I will do a more interesting one next time but actually if you guys in the audience watching this also if you want to ask any questions I can start answering questions now so Dave says I thought your main channel why can't you war so I can draw is a foreigners view of China that is one of my main channels certainly it's the one that has the biggest amount of subscribers five hundred thousand subscribers and it's a very big channel in Taiwan it's all in Chinese the basically these channels like hand-drawn war and learn Chinese now are connected with the NTDTV so I can draw more foreigners view of China is more directly connected and it's basically it's run by a TV station and you need a mic okay sorry about that I try and you know going to be very careful with moving the phone so I don't you know make noise or whatever so and yes Lao icon junghwa is La Vie I can't draw a foreigners be of China that's the one where you made it quite big with in Taiwan this channel was sort of a secondary channel for teaching Chinese oh someone says is Chinese possible to learn well yes idiot it definitely is possible to learn because it's you know I mean I learned it and a lot of other people learn it but I will say that it is more easy to learn if you are really interested in it if you watch someone who's just learning it for business because you're gonna go on business to China and you're not really that interested in the language then I would say that it's actually pretty could be pretty hard to learn someone says hi from Ukraine hello thanks for watching and yeah so if you're really interested in languages how the characters were kind of stuff like that I would say it is quite easy to learn and how someone says if you put in 2000 hours yes it is I think I've put in more than 2000 hours now there's a rule actually they say if you put in 10 pound you need to put in 10,000 hours to be a master or something I don't know if I've put in 10,000 but you definitely do need to put in a lot of hours I stood a learning manner in for fun people think I'm crazy yet people will think you're crazy because it is obviously you know the characters are kind of alien compared to you know English letters like the characters for uber or live broadcast which is what this is what is this excuse me what is this person say over here inside hi I'm drew hands Yolo they make Worman yes so are you in well we were in Taiwan I lived there for a year and I live in the u.s. now and it's Oh Eid le can eat that JA whoo thank you very much the greetings from Italy that's awesome thank you to our viewers in Italy actually the learn Chinese now viewers come from all over the world a lot of my other channels localized in one country we're just showing you guys these things as well this is kind of like my collection of Chinese artifacts this one is Jing Chi Lam I think I mean anyway it's a type of Chinese cloisonne inherited from my grandma and then we have this you see this one this is a Jade Dragon kind of thing also inherited from my grandma's collection of Chinese artifacts very very cool I display them here I try to keep it clean but it always keeps getting cluttered with various things yeah we have here to drape Jade Lions which were also kind of antiques from that collection this thing here actually this is from Taiwan and it's a Apple made of wood and it's very special because if you if you take out the top of it and then you smell it it's an incredibly if you could smell that it's an incredible smell it's a very aromatic you know kind of smell very special type of wood and then we also have this one here which is another Chinese Chinese Bowl what made you interested in learning Chinese that someone says who says that nice swords in the background okay so what made you interested many Chinese well I learn Chinese because I used to do a lot of chinese kungfu hence the swords later on I got interested in kind of Buddhism meditation and I ended up practicing Falun Gong which is a Chinese meditation practice a very wonderful practice just makes your body incredibly healthy and it's clear the mind and it's pretty incredible but anyway it's it's through doing things like that that got me into learning Chinese and so yeah that's why I started and then I was doing it for hobby and then I thought hey I'll I'll you know I'll do it for university and that's what I did so I use the credit sure from what you inspired you to start that channel so yeah we have another channel called the credit shufoo which is a channel about how to improve your credit score and the way I got started with that that one is that I when I moved to the United States I discovered that it's very hard to live here without a credit score you get you have to you know pay a huge amount of money to rent an apartment or you know upfront deposit or whatever and so I started building my credit school and I found a lot of information about it and then I decided to make a channel about it so Dave says not far wrong I I think I think you should perhaps do a little bit more research on it there's a lot of information out there from you know that's kind of like sponsored by the Chinese government kind of propaganda about it because after all far-gone has been banned in China and it is not a just thing that is going on there there's a huge amount of human rights abuses going on in China many religions are you know persecuted there right now Christians have been targeted in China most recently but I just know it's a bit to do in the mainland so yeah I would encourage you to go and you know do some research on it yourself searching on Google in a country like the United States or the UK where there's no Great Firewall and do your own research on it and find out about it but I can tell you personally that it is a wonderful practice very good for your health and not like what mainland China's Chinese regime is would say about it so someone says did you do Chinese in university yes I did I had a Chinese at the School of Oriental African Studies at the University of London London - yeah yeah facia yeah and yeah basically it is I did modern classical Chinese so we did modern Chinese and we studied also a classical Chinese it's very interesting one of my favourite topics we did a lot of Tong dynasty poetry study of that which is very very cool and that's you know where I got the kind of idea to put you know to do some poems in in our videos as well what happened with only in Asia well yeah in Asia it's a little bit of a saw a little bit of a soft topic that one because I started that kind of when I worked full-time at a TV station which owns this channel and owned that channel but that actually got canceled I I really pushed for that I actually wanted to start that channel about a year before it started and I really pushed for it to be like you know a funny show about viral videos coming out of Asia and I thought a lot of potential there but unfortunately you know just the business plan with these things sometimes other people don't have the same view as you and that's just like you know it's it's a shame we've actually you know it's off it's offline now that channel unfortunately but this channel will be still online and I am gonna try any new iguana so someone's quitting the first line of a classic poem what is it cold actually yes I think [Music] from Li Bai anyway and first line is strong shaming you wrong and and if you want to know about that time how to look in our poetry playlist on this channel and so guys I want to wrap this up in just a few minutes so I'll just take I'll take maybe one or two more questions but I just wanna let you know that I am gonna try and do some live broadcasts and in each live broadcast and we'll probably think we'll probably talk talk a little bit about one piece of vocabulary so if you had just joined this broadcast today's piece of vocabulary was joob or live broadcast okay drew it means like straight or direct and for is the word they use for broadcast so means live broadcast and okay let me just take a look at one or two more questions how long to be conversational I would say if you study let's say this person studying pretty intense studying pretty intense in and out of trying for about six months okay so I would say if you study full-time you study for one year then you're kind of ready to be able to have basic conversations like you're not like like to communicate okay so like you're not fully understanding what the person says outside of the specific vocabularies that you've studied I'll give you an example like after I'd studied for a year I was able to call up the the family that I was gonna stay at in his home stay in Taiwan and I was able to say to them oh hi I'm coming today from Tokyo and I'm gonna arrive in Taiwan at this time and I have this much luggage I'll be at your house whatever time right and you know I could understand them saying okay yes cool we'll see you later I couldn't understand any other other things they said all right so this kind of like communicate basic communication it's like one year and then after one year you're good enough to be thrown in the deep end writing code or like China or Taiwan or wherever and be thrown into that intensive environment and then I would say after living there for a year so total study time two years but living in like a Chinese environment for a year like just as I left Taiwan I was like pretty much understanding almost everything people were saying in you know normal conversations so you know one year in the environment or you know maybe if you studied full-time for a year then you went for like six months so China Taiwan wherever you would be probably conversational from from that point on what happened with your channel you've been gone for so long yep we don't really do we don't really have the means to work on this channel full-time anymore or you know often but we're gonna try and do some live broadcasts where we will teach you resume the channel with co-hosts your dynamic interaction yeah well we will try we will try guys so we're gonna do a few more live broadcasts so don't unsubscribe we will be focusing on different characters different words for examples today's today's word was jib or the word for life but well cause where are you right now we are in the United States close to New York Algerian girl says hi from the north of Africa thank you and a big shout out to all our African viewers who are watching this all right guys so I'm gonna end this broadcast now so thank you so much for watching and do look out for live videos that we will do in the next few weeks see ya bye - oh come on Lovejoy icn's I thank you
