Vietnamese here, our language is the closest to mandarin (not counting cantonese and other Chinese dialects), it's still took me 2 years of concentrated effort for hsk6. But hsk6 is just middle level on practical usage. For watching drama and douyin without subtitle, it took me another 2 years of leisurely watching Chinese anime weekly. Their writing system is truly a nightmare, but the reward of unlimited access to Chinese entertainment is well worth it

Videos like this are so much more motivating than the hundreds of comments of "i became fluent in six months!" When it takes me longer to learn Chinese than calculus, it makes me feel like i'm not wired for languages

It is NOT how long does it take to reach HSK 6, it is how many HOURS of study each day does it take to reach HSK 6 .. Two different things 😊😊

I'm so glad i learn for fun and have no interest in the HSK exams

Got my HSK 3 results today. It took about 3, 5 years. I studied Chinese next to my full time job. Hope to reach HSK 6 one day too... :)

And I was thinking I could become fluent in 2 years learning chinese as a hobby for like 2 hours a day after work. xD
It's going to take way more than than...

You have such good energy. You excude a light that I cannot put in words. I think it's your eyes but also your articulation❤

I’ve spent about 100, 000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture. My native language is Chinese. I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures.
Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese.

I've heard that In China they don't allow children to learn Pinyin until they're 6 years old they already know hundreds of characters, because it actually inhibits learning the language..

Do you have hsk 7_8_9 I want it please how can download for free

[HectorGuerra-fv]

Maybe when I reach HSK9, I’ll feel more comfortable with my Chinese. That phrase just killed me: I’ll never be fluent in Chinese after hearing that

HSK6 is considered C2 yet it only has 5000 words, while C2 from Taiwan (TOCFL) has 8000 words. Also, the HSK exams have a very specific format that you can train for. I met many people who have HSK6 whose Chinese is atrocious, I assume they went through some heavy test training to be able to pass it. I am preparing myself for HSK5 now, even though I have been speaking Chinese for ten years already, but didn't take any exams yet. Feeling lazy to learn HSK6 vocabulary at the moment. Maybe some day.

Getting tones perfect is not needed. Its the context of the sentence that matters most. Chinese people will understand you even if you get it half right.

How many hours a day is "less intense"? How many hours a day is "intense"? ignoring productivity of course? Asking for a friend.
