At 1:35 she wraps … At 1:35 she wraps it up and i’m just wondering…is she speaking English at this point?…because she sounds way off. If i was paying her, i’d expect much better language skills for my dollar. It would have been better if she’d have said each stroke sound instead of each entire character sound.
the only thing i … the only thing i learned is that if u wanna speak chinese talk reaaaaly slow and drawn out and put an e in random places in words. lol
The poem isn’t … The poem isn’t wrong… I’ve read it before and studied its characters. It has to be interpreted using the grammar/syntax of the older Chineselanguage.
the teacher’s … the teacher’s handwriting so sucks..and also made a wrong Chinese poem…it should be ???,which means fishing on the riverside covered by snow,but not ???which means south area of China.
you need to lable … you need to lable your work with 1of whatever so one can follow in order .. Now all over and not in order. Thank you let me know when you have an order identified to your videos so they can be followed.. Till then waist of time
