Two Chinese Teachers

【About this podcast】 In this video, we talked about two words, "请(PLEASE)" and "想（WANT） "that always cause misunderstandings between Chinese and English. For subtitle version: https://youtu.be/ZCrwNd6mEIk?si=X5lI4c2-fuyOLJKr

While chatting with Cheng laoshi once, we had an interesting idea. We wanted to try chatting in simple Chinese and see what the end result would be. So! And there you have it, this episode! Haha, picked the most common topics--social media, not bad, we didn't use too many B2 level words. If your Chinese is at HSK4 or B1 level, feel free to open this video and you'll be surprised! 【 You can Find me HERE 】 📮email: twochineseteachers@gmail.com 📺YouTube： @chinesemandarincherry：https://www.youtube.com/@chinesemandarincherry @flowingmandarinlab：https://www.youtube.com/@flowingmandarinlab

In this podcast, we are using a basic structure 是……的 to talk to each other. 是……的 is a structure mostly used in past events, to emphasize time, place, with whom, who did the action, methods, and materials.

Although the grammar definition says this structure is to emphasize, Actually we use it a most time when we talk about PAST events. 💁🏻‍♀️Time code: 00:00 Introduction 01:14 emphasize time 04:25 emphasize place 05:44 emphasize method 09:00 emphasize who with 10:49 emphasize who did it 13:25 emphasize materials you can check video here: https://youtu.be/WU4xLukExV0
