You can find the English version below.)大家好!欢迎收看新一期的《五分钟中文》。在本期节目中,我将讨论通过看电视节目学习语言的利弊。虽然它通常被视为一种有趣且快速的学习方式,但它可能并不适合所有人,尤其是初学者。我介绍了“comprehensive input可理解输入”的概念,它指的是大部分可以理解但有一些新元素的语言材料。我分享了我看日本电视剧(名为《地面师たち》)的个人经历,并解释了为什么由于我目前的熟练程度,它没有显著提高我的日语水平。我还建议专注于与您的语言水平相匹配的听力材料,以使“磨耳朵”(听力训练)更有效。此外,我还谈到了 Maayot,这是一个通过适合水平的内容学习中文的有用网站。最后我谈到我制作这个播客的初衷就是提供简单而自然的语言输入,帮助学习者有效地练习。如果您觉得《五分钟中文》有用,请订阅、分享和支持这...

My thoughts are with all of those directly affected. With natural disasters increasi...

Maayot offers daily readings with pinyin, English translations, ...

Hello everyone, welcome to the latest episode of "5 Minute Mandarin." Today, I want to chat with you about my experiences with driving in the United States. As you may know, having a car is essential in most parts of the US, unlike in China where I never felt the need to drive. Upon moving to the US, I relied on public transportation and walking, as my first city had good infrastructure for both. However, when I found a job in a smaller town, owning a car became necessary. So, I decided to le...

It classifies languages into four levels of difficulty for English speakers.
