HSK 5 Chinese Listening Comprehensible Input/ What's it Like to buy a home in China

What makes this video comprehensible? Of course, how comprehensible it is depends on how well you can understand Chinese. Three factors play important roles here: ----recognising a few key, frequent sentence patterns ----understanding fixed phrases as a unit ----knowing some basic vocabulary Whether you have finished the HSK 3 book, are already on the HSK 5 book, or are just learning by yourself without any official textbooks, you could all potentially understand what I say because of these features that make my videos comprehensible. ----I use short sentences to explain longer sentences. ----I stop to fully explain a new word or concept and expand on it for a bit. ---- I repeat on new things The key to making comprehensible input is actually to use limited vocabulary. I am very aware of which words are easier to understand and which sentence structures are easier to follow. Therefore, I stay within that range, but every now and then I break out of it just a tiny little bit. It is vital for Chinese learners at all levels to have input with level control. But this is exactly what is difficult for native speakers, who are used to speaking naturally without knowing how their words or sentences land for Chinese learners. This situation gets even worse when a few native speakers are talking together. In those situations, I would say there is almost no chance of controlling the level and making it comprehensible source for learners If the input is just natural language, what happens then? Sure, you will recognise a few words and understand a few short sentences here and there, but very likely the rest is just noise. Your brain will not process things that cannot be understood. Of course, simple things, once you hear them enough, will eventually be recognised and processed. But that is much less likely with a long, complicated talk. It is important to select language input that is truly comprehensible to you. Only then can learning happen. 竹子
