victorhart Posted December 23, 2014 at 02:13 AM Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 at 02:13 AM Please note that Study Guide 4 has been updated because the link was broken. I was very happy to finally find a new version of it on YouTube, and all I did was change the link and modify the times of each segment, since it has some extra seconds of introduction in the beginning. The episode reviewed in Study Guide 4 is perfect for learning or reviewing the names of shapes in Mandarin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorhart Posted February 3, 2015 at 02:05 AM Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 at 02:05 AM Qiao Hu Study 8 is fresh off the press! This time I selected four particularly instructive video segments from two different Qiao Hu episodes and edited them into a single video, on which I based the study guide. Thus, it packs added learning punch per minute of viewing! I hope you will enjoy and benefit from this video and the guide.

(2) Learn colors and shapes. (3) Learn vocabulary and expressions related to clocks and telling time.

stapler Posted February 5, 2015 at 11:48 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 at 11:48 PM Thanks to this thread I discovered this show. It's great for learning. It's the only programme I've found that speaks Chinese at my level (I did mock HSK 4 test a few days ago and found it fairly easy, but HSK 5 is way too difficult for me (at least, the listening component is). Every other show is a real chore (endless pausing and rewinding). Watching this is actually fun because I can enjoy it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorhart Posted March 8, 2015 at 11:16 PM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 at 11:16 PM I am happy to bring you Qiao Hu Study Guide 9. These study guides do not, of themselves, teach any Mandarin, but they suggest a highly instructive and fun-to-watch Qiao Hu video and give beginners a clue of what to listen for while watching. They may also serve as a benchmark for progress. After 300 hours of watching a variety of authentic videos in Mandarin (including practicing some songs), I have made a bit of progress. I can now, especially when repeating segments of a Qiao Hu episode several times, get the gist of what is being said, and certainly pick up a lot of words and short sentences. Thus, I have changed the guides slightly. I now provide a partial translation of each segment. There are chunks missing, indicated by ellipses (. . .). The parts I'm confident I understand are underlined and bold, the ones I believe I understand are just bold, and when it's more a guess, it's plain text.
