DON'T Say 你好! Say THIS Instead! - How to Greet Like a Native Speaker
They call it “learning”. We say it's “Fun”.
Welcome to "Fun Mandarin 玩中文"!
👋 “你好” is the most common way to say hello in Mandarin; however, it is often overused in the wrong settings, which may sound awkward and unnatural.
In our first episode, we are going to practice using three categories of other authentic ways to greet people in Mandarin, just like a native speaker!

7:44 it seems there is some misalignment between what you say and what is written, 9:22 you accidently used simplified 见 instead of traditional 見 . Other than that, great job. Keep posting!
Thank you for pointing out the typo with the character 見 :) We will be even more careful in editing future videos.
