God tried to turn us from our sins through many rules but it didn't help so he became a man lived a sinless life like a 'game programmer' enter his own powerful avatar to overcome all the bugs and to save the other avatars in the simulation(or exam for good place) by sacrificing his own avatar to help the other avatars to make through the exam, anyone can posses that power when he/she have faith in jesus br brHE'S coming back

I enjoy this lesson
Comment from : @kentokenyama3449

It's joy learning this way :)
Comment from : @GottenCrazy

Well, these pictographic way of representing Chinese characters got it to be easily understood works with very few characters A person might be cheated into thinking that that's how all of it works when it coined to characters If you learn few characters it can be easy to dismantle them in that way but when you reach 1000, 2000, 3000, and so on I don't think it will be of any use Nevertheless this helps with those few characters but I don't think you will find any relationship in many characters to why they mean such and such a thing

Comment from : @txtlu6898

This totally makes me want to learn Chinese now!! xD
Comment from : @LmaoWatchMeStruggle

I think it would be pretty helpful to show the ancient Chinese characters of the "basic" characters Like how the character for moon looked like a crescent shape of the moon, and water looked like a river
Comment from : @rvndre8601

Hey um does anyone know what Chinese she's speaking?
Comment from : @sophialaouici1830

learning is fun!

Comment from : @joelin8995

a good way for learning, however, the character does not evolve in this way and gains its meaning, not always at least
Comment from : @agent-j1451

"木" is wood, not tree Tree is "樹"
Comment from : @gordonchan4801

"門" is the Taiwanese way of writing "door" in Chinese, The Main(land) way is "们"brBut really good video!

I loved this! I always thought Chinese was daunting but now it seems so much easier! I even made an entire side wall with the Chinese symbols that I drew!
Comment from : @micaelaroyo4837

This is AMAZING!!!!
Comment from : @megakingpokemon8630

This is terrible, mixing traditional and simplified characters basically gives you two halves of two (related but distinct) writing systems; not quite enough for anything
Comment from : @8214623618

If I finish learning French I may give (just reading) Chinese a try?

Comment from : @gabriels5589

You know that this doesn't work if your native language is ChineseMost of the Words in Chinese indeed have absolutely no logic in their formation

3:35 "mouth on top of a tree is idiot a talking tree is pretty idiotic"brHoom! Sheep get like shepherd, and shepherds like sheepbrBut it is quicker and closer, with trees and Ents
Comment from : @differous01

I can break down any Chinese character into very basic meanings behind it, so that you will find how easy to learn Chinese Characters Because even the most complicated character has created base on the character-creating rules
Comment from : @alexjoshua2056

didn't thought it is by that easy
Comment from : @HaidarAFahad

Impressivebut doesn't tell me how to say these words, and that they are different in the various Chinese dialects/languages
Comment from : @marksimons8861

she is so cool!
Comment from : @fleurdepapaye9635

You can't write in Chinese with ease It's spelt ESE This is why people don't understand
Comment from : @duck1102

I need more of this, it's just like alchemy
Comment from : @romeblanchard3419

how to write excellent teacher in Chinese
Comment from : @philipbuckley759

Recognizing characters or learning words & phases in any language is a matter of word frequency In a typical newspaper you encounter a number of characters Some may only appear once or twice but you can guess what the meanings are by looking at the radical that forms the character, other words & phrases they are sitting beside or the overall meaning of a sentence / idea in a passage of text There are characters that are rarely used and tend to be associate with specific pieces of old Chinese literature Like learning an older form of English from the time of Shakespeare The objects or ideas that these old words referred to may be lost to historybrReading text online is much easier than from printed materials The words & phases you don't know you simply Cut & Paste into an online dictionary Nowadays people tend to recognize difficult characters but don't necessarily remember how to write them because of the increase use of electronic devices for messaging People will enter text phonetically and choose the correct characters from a list I watched an old Taiwanese show "大學生了沒" about a group of foreign students learning Chinese and came to this conclusionbrOn top of learning many characters, the Chinese uses a lot of 4-character proverbs in their writing You can spend over a year learning many of the more common ones

I want to learn Chinese and get a Chinese GF :D
Comment from : @amazingsparckman

she's has got dope legs!!
Comment from : @onecreativecriminal

This is amazing But, she uses both simplified and traditional words and some words have multiple meanings I understand that she wants to get people interested in learning Chinese, but it's really not easy at all once you delve into it Although, this might help you recognize meanings of SIMPLE words easier with pictures and association methods brbrFor example: 从 - meaning to follow also means "from" This is the simplified version of the word The traditional way to write 从 is 從 With the traditional way, you can't really use her explanation of one person following another person as you can see and the other problem is not knowing when a word is simplified or traditional
Comment from : @ChubbyMonkeys

Excellent
Comment from : @sithompson74

In fact Chinese characters are more complicated than her explanation considering its long history of evolution, but her method can really help non Chinese speakers to learn this beautiful language Applause
