How do you recommend studying your videos?
太好了！他讲中文得太好了。
我很开心看看这部视频，谢谢你。
❤️ 你的中文一直都会帮我。
Halal…是清真。
I have been watching your videos for a long time. It helped me a lot. We love you😆
非常有意思的对话内容。谢谢Eilen，你真棒！
It's weird how fluently he speaks, but still lacks a lot of vocabulary. I think in Malaysia you can fill in the blanks with English most of time and be understood.
泰国人对邻居也很感兴趣并且八卦太多
非常感谢你作视频的功夫。我练习听力，学到了好多日常的汉语
This is an interesting topic. Love from Taiwan.❤
看完了！内容特别有意思，你们俩特别好玩儿。I had so much fun watching you two. Mixing languages and cultures can be so entertaining and instructive. Lovely video!
That teacher was evil.
这么好的客人
This is one of my favorites of all the interviews you've done Aileen.
👍👍👍👍👍
多谢！你的视频真的很有帮助。最好和最有趣的视频
非常谢谢老师让有这种机会看这个节目❤非常谢谢顺利圆满
⚠️⚠️⚠️ 請問一下你們可以訪問我嗎？我中文比以前更好啦，我現在說的很流暢了。我以前住台灣，生活豐富，我是教英文的。 請考慮喔 ⚠️⚠️⚠️
This kind of guest is really great for intermediate lessons advanced, much less new words. Thank you!
Nice Indian guy, very useful video!
