Welcome all Chinese language learners back to the Biliidiu Podcast. This is a project focused on everyday Chinese language, A Chinese podcast for authentic conversations and relaxed listening practice. Yes, this is where you learn Chinese from real conversations. rather than learning from boring textbooks. I am Yin Jie. I am Chiayi. Jiayi, how are you today? Busy? I'm a bit busy; I have to work in the morning, then go to the gym. But I feel good now. And you, Yin Jie? I'm fine, just a bit tired. I stayed up later than usual last night because I watched a movie. Ah, so you might have wasted a bit of time. It might just be a little, but that movie was quite good. I'm so happy today to be chatting with the audience again. You're right, every time I sit down and chat with you, We all feel very happy helping everyone learn Chinese. Yes, it feels like we're all in the same big room together. Alright, chat time is over. Now let's move on to today's topic. Yes, before we start wasting everyone's time. Yes, today we have a very important topic, Don't waste your time. Time is life. If we waste time, It's just wasting a little bit of life. It sounds a bit serious, but don't worry. We'll talk in a relaxed and simple way. Yes, before we begin, We'd like to ask everyone for a small favor. If you like this episode, Like, subscribe, and share with friends who are learning Chinese. Especially that person who is always saying, I don't have time to learn Chinese. A friend who spends an hour scrolling through their phone. We all know that kind of friend, Sometimes that person is ourselves. Alright, let's talk about what it truly means to not waste time. Yin Jie, first let me ask you, What does it mean to waste time in simple terms? Good question. To waste time means, You're spending your time on things that are unimportant to you, and nothing helpful on that either. Yes, it's not just about being fun or not fun. Whether this matter has helped you or not. You're right, imagine time as water in a bottle. Water in the bottle. Yes, the water in the bottle is limited. If you pour water on the ground, After that, I couldn't drink anymore. It's just a waste of time. I like this metaphor. Yes, when you spend your time on those I cannot help you learn. It cannot help you grow. on things that cannot help you rest either, You're just throwing time onto the ground. And sometimes we ourselves know that, right? Afterward, I'll feel, why did I do it that way? You're right, that feeling of regret, I could have used that time to do something more meaningful. It's a clear signal of wasted time. Just like I originally just wanted to watch a short video, After 40 minutes, he was still sitting there. He couldn't even remember what he had watched. Yes, this situation happens to many people. Now we understand the meaning. Let's talk about how to stop wasting time. Especially when learning Chinese. May I tell a story first? Good idea; stories are easier for people to remember. Last month, there was a day when I was working at my computer, My brain feels very tired. So I said, I'll take a 10-minute break. That sounds like a good plan. I sat down on the sofa and turned on my phone, Start watching an interesting video, I laughed, feeling good. Then the next video plays automatically. I think, okay, let's look at one more. A truly classic phrase. Just one more look. Yes, after a while, I feel something is off. It was already over one hour and fifteen minutes. That was a very long 10-minute break. You're right, the problem is, After that, I didn't feel happy. I feel empty, a bit guilty, And even more tired. Yes, that feeling is like sand slipping through your hands. When you spread your fingers, it falls off completely. A magnificent scene, After that day, I said to myself, I must use my time more consciously. Being conscious means, You are deliberately doing something. rather than happening by accident. Yes, today we'd like to share some The method that has helped us, I also hope to be able to help you. A simple method combined with a short story This is easier to remember. Ei-chie, what is the first method? Method one: Create a very small plan. Small, not a large-scale project. Yes, imagine the plan like a GPS in your car. If you do not enter an address, The car might drive around recklessly. You'll go around in circles, waste fuel, and waste time. Yes, keep driving without knowing where to go. But when you enter a simple address, The GPS will tell you. So, a very small project Just like entering an address for your day. That's completely correct; many learners say so. Today I'm improving my Chinese. But it's too big, too vague. "Blurry" means unclear. Yes, so let's change it to a very small plan. For example, today I am going to learn three new vocabulary words. Today I'm going to listen to a ten-minute Chinese podcast. Today I am going to read a page of a Chinese short story. This feels much lighter now. I have a personal example. Tell me about it. When I began learning Chinese, I said to myself, You need to study for one hour every day. It's perfect for me. I feel very tired and often skip it. Then felt discouraged. I understand. Later, I changed my plan and said to myself, Just ten minutes a day is enough. There are some days when I do a bit more. But my promise to myself lasts only ten minutes. Is this more effective? Much more effective. I can keep my promise. Not afraid to start, And each time I finish, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Therefore, this analogy is, A small plan is like a clear address on a GPS, You will no longer wander aimlessly. Yes, when you know where you're going, You won't waste time thinking about what to do now. This is a highly advantageous first approach. And the second one? Method Two: Make good use of your pocket time. Pocket Time? Yes, imagine time as a coin, You have large blocks of time during the day, Like a one-hour block, But there are also many small coins, Five minutes here, seven minutes there, Another three minutes. Just like waiting for a bus, While waiting for a taxi or standing in line. You're right, many people simply throw these small coins away directly. Just keep scrolling through my phone. But if you collect these small coins together, Then you can exchange it for a big item. For example, review three new words while waiting for the bus. Listen to a five-minute Chinese podcast while doing the dishes. Reading five lines of Chinese while waiting for the coffee. Very practical, A friend of mine has mainly improved his Chinese through Pocket Time. Really? Yes, he has two children. I have to work again; it's extremely busy. He told me, I've never had a full hour to myself, But I have many scattered minutes, So he used that time, Five minutes' walk to the bus stop. Ten minutes for lunch, Seven Minutes Before Sleep A few months later, he discovered that his hearing had improved. Said more fluently. Those small coins turned into a great treasure. Yes, if you don't want to waste time, Start by using pocket time. Even just five minutes can be useful. Perhaps the audience can now reflect on this, Where are my pocket times throughout the day? Method Three: Making Chinese Fun Because if it feels like punishment, You'll just want to run away. Yes, imagine you're a child, Every time you play, someone yells at you, To achieve perfection, one must not make any mistakes. The child will stop playing. It's the same with learning, The brain does not like sustained stress. If Chinese is always heavy and solemn, The brain will say, "Thank you, no thanks." How do you turn Chinese into a game? Rather than punishment? Connect Chinese with the things you already love. For example, I like music. I remember some Chinese songs have helped me a lot, I found the lyrics and kept listening to them over and over. Mark the new words, sing along, Try imitating the singer's pronunciation. It was both fun and educational. What about you? I like stories and short films. I've watched some Chinese short dramas or stories, Start with subtitles in your native language, Later, Chinese subtitles were used. After a while, I can understand many sentences without needing subtitles. Like a tiny spark of vitality. Yes, interesting is important. Because it allows you to stay in contact with Chinese for a longer period of time, If you read the content in Chinese, At the same time, learn new expressions. You are not merely watching; you are growing. Time thief — I like this expression. A time thief is someone who steals your time, Things that have not given you any benefit. For many people, it's social media. Social media can be very fun. But if you're careless, It will keep taking your time, over and over again. I remember one evening, I originally just wanted to send one message, Then I saw an interesting video, Then the short film, the留言 controversy, the news, My mind is full, yet I've learned nothing. This is a very common experience. After it ended, I felt both tired and a bit sad. Therefore, we need to protect ourselves, Stay away from these time thieves. A simple way is to set small rules. Keep your phone in another room while studying. After completing the small Chinese project, Just checked social media, turned off notifications for one hour. Just like locking the door to keep thieves out. You don't hate thieves, but rather protecting their own home. When you protect your focus, You can accomplish more in less time. You will save time instead of wasting it. A very important point, If we say we shouldn't waste time, Does it mean I have to study Chinese every single minute? Not at all. Resting is not a waste of time. Imagine your body and brain as a smartphone battery. If used throughout the entire day, What happens if you never charge it? It will run out of power and stop working. We are the same. If you keep studying and staying busy, Yet never rests, The battery will run out. Adequate sleep, Quiet time and simple rest, Like charging up. Sometimes, resting is wiser than forcing oneself. This is not a waste of time. but rather preparing for better use of time in the future. The key is balance. A little study, a little work, A little entertainment, a little rest. Quickly review today's method. Make a very small plan. Enter the GPS address for one day. Make the most of your spare moments. Those fragmented moments throughout the day. Make Chinese fun Turn learning into a game rather than a punishment. Beware of time thieves, Protect yourself from endless smartphone scrolling. Remember, resting is not a waste of time. But it's charging. Your time is very valuable, You don't need to be perfect, Just make slightly better use of your time every day. Even if you only spend ten minutes a day on quality Chinese learning, You can also see noticeable progress over time. Now it's your turn. Do you, What one thing is currently wasting your time?
