How to choose a best way to learn Chinese? Nowadays, in China, when we talke about how to learn English, we surely can find so many methods with different theories. 

I think that's wonderful because so many people are in this Learning English area, then learners could find a suitable and enjoyable way to learn. And discussions can make this industry more healthy and advanced. 
But when we talk about how to learn Chinese? Which is the best way for a foreigner to get Chinese fluency? We cannot hear different voices as much as in English-Learning area. 
I'm not an expert. I just have thought thousands of time about how to teach foreign friends in a better way to let them understand that Chinese is actually not that hard. 

•Chinese grammar is easy and straightforward. 
•Chinese people don't conjugate verbs. is/am/are/was in Chinese is 是 
•no gender in Chinese 
•Chinese words are logical. 
I believe Chinese learning process can be easy and fun for you only if u find a great way, a suitable way, a personalized way with the right meterials.

I believe you guys have heard 发展汉语，新实用汉语，体验汉语，成功之路，环球汉语, and so on. Different materials may lead a totally DIFFERENT path when you use it to learn Chinese. 

There are four main different teaching styles in Chinese-teaching area. 
•decades-old method 
We can tell it's traditional just like how Chinese students learn English when we're at school. You my have so many grammar or confusing or non- related lessons, and after so long time of suffering, you may find you still cannot use Chinese in a natural way. 
• institution method 
They may care about what u want at the beginning. And maybe focus on speaking. But if there are so many students learn language together, they cannot make a personalized plan for each one since institution always want more and more students to learn there. 
•the hardest method 
Yale, Harvard, Princeton have found the method before, it asks people cannot say one sentence without Chinese in two or three months. It needs high level teachers and this method is hard to conduct. But it works. 
• the MOST effective way--tasks in environment 
The reason we cannot learn a language by traditional way is teachers speaks much more about textbooks and students accept in a passive position. But in this method, we are not still learning Chinese but acquiring Chinese. 
I sincerely hope everyone could find yourself great meterials and have a woderful journey on Chinese!

Do you guys agree with "Grammar Is The Engine, Vocabulary Is The Fuel"?

Do you guys agree with "Grammar Is The Engine, Vocabulary Is The Fuel"?

I saw this theory on the Youtube yesterday, I'm not sure it's correct or not.

Do you guys agree with that? I'm wondering that because I used to believe we needn't have to learn Grammar, when we're studying our native language, our parents haven't taught us as "I is the subject, am is the verb.,and mother is the object."

If so, I don't think we can learn our natine language well.

So, do you guys think that theory is correct? And what's your method until now to learn a second language that you think it's really working for you?

How to be a great language exchange partner?

I'm a native Chinese mandarin speaker, I'd love to be a language exchange partner with who want to improve his/her Chinese, and I want to improve my English after a English native speaker in the same time.

I think to be a good language partner we should firstly our language level, how many topics I can talk with my language exchange partner?If my level is lower than intermediate,maybe I should do some preparation.

Also,we should know our partners' language level, and ask about partners' likes and dislikes.Hey, do you want me to do a little correction?or you just talk freely?

And finally,I think this is pretty much important that we should be respectful and patient with our language partner and ourselves.respectful for both of our time and be patient and open to making mistakes.

I always get a little nervous when I'm speaking English:) and I think that's okay, I will keep practicing.

How about you?What do you think is important to do a language exchange?

3 steps to successfully build your language system I myself have learned English for about last ten years, many Chinese students did, but it's obviously that many of us still cannot use it no matter when we are traveling, working, making friends, etc. And I think it's not a phenomenon only existed in studying English language, it's also in the Chinese, French, Russian, etc. It can be any other languages which are not the one we are born to speak.I'm wondering why. I have been searching the reasons during I worked in an online language corporation the whole last year, after reading a lot of theories from such as StephenD. Krashen, many language idol's, I had an inclusion and I have suggested my friends who want to learn English or Chinese to use it. Maybe it's not the best method, but I hope this information could be helpful for you to learn a second language. •【Step One】--【Input】 When we are learning a second language, input is sooooooo necessary. When you say you want to speak English or Chinese well, then ask yourself have you done the input enough yet? Just think about a question, why a baby is capable to speak out when he or she is 2 or 3 years old? Why cannot he or she speak out a sentence just at the time of his/hers born? Because at he/she first 2 years, the baby have been doing this great input, and then he/she copied. We can be capable of speaking out a language only if we have already done a brilliant and long-tern input. But how? Which is the best way to help us not to complain about how hard it is to learn a new language when we've just learned for 2 or 3 months? The answer is to find what you love, find your passion and "i+1"theory. ① We just input what we're really interested in. The material can be movies, novels, videos about all the aspects, or just some apps on your phone. There are too much ways to get the materials you love. Find it, and repeat to hear or read "thousands" times. You can listen， then repeat. You can listen, then write down if you like. Attention here about the caption. Don't only focus on the caption you already know. Here's my way: I usually listen with none caption first time, and I repeat, then I'll find out where I'm not capable to hear. And I'll do the second, third, fourth listening, and look at some caption until I can hear all the sentences without the caption. It won't be hard because I'm listening to some materials I love. One or two hours will both be ok for each day, use your leisure time. ②“i+1” STEP TWO and THREE should be in next article.

Which Chinese movie or novel is your favorite？

Hello guys！

Have you seen some Chinese movies or TV shows that's really impressive?

John Lennon--When I was 5 years old When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn‘t understand life. 我5岁的时候，我母亲总是告诉我，快乐是生活的真谛。上学时，老师问我，长大了想做什么？我说“快乐的人”，他们说我不懂这个问题，我说是他们不懂人生。
