Great platform for speaking and learning Chinese, plus free Mandarin lessons by me (YY)

This is honestly the best software to use to improve your Chinese speaking and listening. I've been using YY on and off for 2 years, listening to Chinese people learn English and teaching them myself. 

 

I've also started a Chinese for foreigners 对外汉语 class, where anyone can participate, it's like a live online classroom. 

Watch my lesson video for more info, and how to download and join the channel and our lessons!!!

I think you should invest in a higher quality microphone, or at least position it slightly further from your mouth.

This is honestly the worst audio I have heard on a language learning site/video for a long time. It is over modulated (distorted), the volume changes from very quiet to overly loud.

 

I have not bothered to check out the website because i don't hold out any hope of it being better, because if you don't care enough to get it right on your demonstration/advertising then why would you have bothered on the web site.

 

I may be wrong about the website but I am not going to increase their footfall just to find out.

 

Good try, but serious fail on audio quality.

[Pickley]

It's not a website. It's a piece of software used for talking and in online classroom learning. The intention is to show people what you can use the software for! I'll get a better mic for next time.

Unless I'm much mistaken, some of the problem is over-compression of the audio, it's not just the mic. 

 

Pickley, where's the advantage of YY.com over, say, Skype, or Youtube, or QQ? Compare it favourably to something people will know. 

[Shelley]

I understood from the you tube video that you had o go to a website to sign/join the classes, that's what I meant.

It has built in classroom software for learning, there are people on 24/7 and you can get chatting right away.
