Watching videos is one of the best ways to improve your “Mandarin” listening skills when you are not living in China. By watching videos, you can not only learn new words and hear different accents, but also know more about Chinese culture. The advantage of these channels is that they all have Chinese subtitles (and in fact most of them also have English subtitles), so you can not only listen but also try to read simultaneously and record what you thought to be interesting… Thus, your reading and writing skills will also improve.
In this article, you will find 6 entertaining Youtube channels that will help you improve your Chinese and understand more about modern Chinese society.
Top 6 Youtube Channels To Help You Learn Chinese Effectively
1. MAMAHUHU
This funny Youtube channel is created by a group of multicultural people currently living in China. In their videos, they like to compare the cultural differences between Western countries and China. Also, a lot of their videos show you what it's like to be a foreigner living in China. The content is a mix of English and Chinese, really suitable for beginners (but advanced learners who have lived in China will also enjoy these videos and find them very easy to understand) ).
A fact: The famous expression “马马虎虎 mǎmahǔhǔ” means “so be it”, “careless”. It is often learned by Chinese beginners.
