Learn Chinese with ChinesePod

Learn Mandarin Online

learn-mandarin-chinese-online-free-with-davidHi! My name is David! Welcome to FreeChineseBlog.com. I am an independent online tutor offering free lessons for learning Mandarin Chinese online through video tutorials. When I was in high school I really wanted to learn Mandarin Chinese but my school didn't offer any Mandarin courses. I was lucky enough to major in Mandarin (East Asian Studies actually) at one of Canada's top universities then spend six years living in Taipei. Through this website I hope to share my knowledge of Mandarin with people of all ages. I intend on keeping this site free for everybody's educational benefit. I apprecaite any comments or feedback you might have to offer! Xie xie, David

    Hi!

    What is your first language? If it’s French or Spanish I can try to do videos in that language too!

    I think living in China (or Taiwan) is a great way to learn Mandarin and you are definitely a lucky guy! I hope I can have that experience someday.

    >>> Thank you for your kind comments, Susan. I’m sure your dreams of traveling and learning Mandarin will come true! -david

    I’m learning via the Michel Thomas method CDs, which I’ve used to great success with French, Italian and Spanish. I also have an Earworms CD, which helps you learn frequent expressions in an easy manner (to music) and some books. But I really like the fact that your blog covers all the elements at the same time: the tones, the pronunciation, the meaning, the chinese text and the romanization. It’s a great blog. Thanks!

    Thank you David for spending the time to create a great website and for sharing your knowledge. What do you think is the secret to learning a foreign language? I have heard you should think in the language and not try to translate it in your head.
    Thanks again David
    cheers

    Dear Bret,

    Thank you for your kind comments. I have been learning languages for a long time. In addition to my mother language, English, I speak French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Portuguese. Basically, you are correct: It’s best to learn the new word then just “think” with that word.

    Best Wishes,
    David

    YouTube where I first knew them free and downlodable or not??

    Dear David,

    Thank you for this great resource. It is great that you’ve had such success in learning Mandarin. I live in Australia currently, how beneficial would it be to move to China to learn and study Mandarin?

    Wishing you all the best, are you going to start learning any new languages?

    Rgds
