  2. Dear MinMin,

    Your idear is so cool. Thank you so much. I am going to study study Chinese right now and everyday.

  3. hey!!!
    Im giving this another try ,
    im starting now from the beginning of your posts
    because i wasnt learning anything, i did but i would forget everything
    im losing hope, although i do recognise some characters now!
    wish me luck:))

  4. 你 好 Min Min, I have a question.

    On sentence number 4. Why is the word “clothes” said twice? Doesn’t 衣 and 服 both mean clothes? Do you have to use them together or can they be used separate. Like:

    服 洗 好 了

    or

    衣 洗 好 了

    Just curious to know if this is proper or a mistake. 谢谢

    1. Hi mrkalifornia,
      You can say:
      衣 洗 好 了.
      but not
      服 洗 好 了.

      衣 can be used as a single word but not 服.
      服 has to be used with other character to form a word,
      e.g. 校服 (school uniform), 服装 (clothing; costume)

  5. I’m a new student in learning Mandarin and your website is very helpful. In fact, the e-book aided me in the first weeks of my class. Thanks for building this site as well as keeping it updated with new words and other activities that make learning Mandarin a lot enjoyable.

  6. i am a new student of chinese and i wanted to take something online that is as organized as a university program. This is very well designed and a great idea. Xie Xie ni for doing this – I am so happy! I want to teach my son chinese also, he is three years old. is there a basic video or exercise that I can work with him, or is this good for him too? He has a friend in his daycare who speaks Chinese and I want him to learn and write some characters. I have a friend who is teaching him japanese character writing, but i dont want him to be confused.

  7. can i say 我好了 to say im done like for example

    1. Hi Kurogane,
      I posted this character “好” 4+ years ago. The audios are not good quality.
      Hopefully in year 2014, I will find some free time to update all the low-quality audios that I created in year 2009.
      Thanks.
