Hello my cute friends, it’s Emma ♡ In this study vlog I’m finally sharing something I’ve talked about sooo many times: me actually studying Chinese for the HSK 3 exam. I sit down with my supplies and we work through the first 25 words (out of the 600 total), and I’m being honest with you—most of them aren’t completely new for me, I just really needed a proper review. I also show you the part I love the most: writing the characters. There’s something so relaxing about complex Chinese characters when you’re in a cozy, focused mood. After reviewing the vocab, I move on to sample sentences and read them out loud to practice pronunciation and, more importantly, how to use the words in real context. The tones are… difficult (my brain is collapsing, not gonna lie), but we still push through and finish the session together. If you’ve been wanting a calm “study Chinese with me” video that feels like a little safe-space study date, this one is for you—and tell me if you want this to become a series ♡
