我上中文課

College feels like a ripoff when learning is free at the library... after you pay for your library card, of course. 😂 Thanks to dedicated teachers like you, anyone can learn a language. ️Forget fictional heroes like Superman—in the real world, we have Andy.

You are a gr8 teacher

I'm from Chile, took me a while to get fluent in English, but now I want to become a Chinese speaker because there is so much culture and things to learn, also hanzi is beautiful and quite mystical. I am so grateful of your videos!

You are a brilliant teacher. Thank you so much

You've literally made my day with this video! I'd been looking for such a video to get a grip on tenses in Chinese! Xiexie 🙏🙏🙏

So professional.
我学习。I study.
我在学习。I am studying.

我会学习。I will study.
我可以学习。I can study.

我学过中文。I studied / I have studied.

People waste years trying to handle several rules.

Thank you Andy... good lesson

This lesson is good, thank you

¡Hola! Cómo estás ?

I'm portuguese native speaker, i start to study chinese language recently...but seeing your videos and explications look so easy...And your way to explain is really good to see...

Hello thank you for this! For simple future tense can I use ‘tā jiāng huì shàng zhōngwén kè？also I thought ná means to take not shàng or do they both mean take, it’s really confusing

can you make a video about measure words in chinese? and how to use them.. it will be very helpfull!! i really loved all your videos and content! it really helps me a lot..

Andy 老师， do you have lessons on chinese apps?

And Thank you Sir for this wonderful video, full of info

Sir any difference in the present and past continuous tense of Chinese? I mean to say sentence structure is the same of both tenses so how we'll differentiate

Please explain three de de de in chinese

Thanks a lot

Dear explain "can" and "will".how can we differentiate in chinese

Best way of teaching 😊 thank you very much 🙏🙏

Your video is very clear 谢谢你

Wow, amazing video, I need to save this for my reviewer.. Thank you so much SIR ANDY, you explained it very well.. 🙏👍🏻✨

Thank you dear.I follow your every videos and i get many things to learn from your teaching......continue plz

Hey andy 👋🏻
Can i ask you why are these two sentences are different!
They both happen in the past so why do we use ( le ) here ..

Ta zoutian shang zhongwen ke le

But we don’t use ( le ) here ..

Wo zoutian zhen kaixin !

Why don’t we say

Wo zoutian zhen kaixin le !

Is it because in the first sentence there was a verb but in the other sentence there wasn’t a verb there is just an adjective !


And this could be another silly question but for real it took me a while think of it

In this sentence..

Ta jintian zai jia ( yong ) kuaizi chi zhonggue cai .

Why did we use ( yong ) which i think it mean ( use ) and didn’t use a link word like ( zuo ) ! Or ( gen )


And thank you so much for reading all of our questions and for being kind enough to answer all of us

谢谢，这是太好了。我有一个问题。In past tense it changes from 不 to 没有。Is there a reason for this please, or is it just convention?

Could I assume that 在 + verb is "to be doing something" and 正在 is "to be doing something at the very moment"? So a sentence like 他在学中文 would mean "he's studying Chinese (as a general process, recently have been studying)" and 他正在学中文 would be "he's studying Chinese (but like right now, at the very moment)"? Btw, your videos are always super neat and straight to the point, you explain everything very well. Love it!
