New Members bobbydeol Posted January 1, 2019 at 01:22 PM New Members Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 at 01:22 PM Still a beginner but don't want to receive a major shock when I start to consume chinese media so I want to know what shows I should watch to start working on my listening. Also, since I doubt textbooks are 100% similar to the colloquial chinese, are there any websites/social media/shows/whatever I can go in order to get a hang of the colloquial speech?

NinjaTurtle Posted January 1, 2019 at 04:41 PM Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 at 04:41 PM Since you are a beginner, I suggest you watch children's videos in Chinese. These videos might be a bit boring, but they are great ear-training. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY3Xz5Q532o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM_QSDCjHKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpseCxt5Wkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7vP9EYCYsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSkZsh3sl8c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_GQPMqJR30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0lTEAPVkbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUDt4vyCOfo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoulIKjl09w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx9OhgVxxyE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeQhpeNgM68 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlYuykVFYNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-BaeRspg9U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0eT6dA3vDo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw8GIf7KYLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s96iyEYcPo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7iaXVgk1xk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsz99rmn-P4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jojGGiCvplM (When you move past the beginner level, I have higher-level videos I can also recommend.) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are a bunch of people on the forums who have moved past beginner, but can't yet consume regular TV, and are wondering if there is any good video material to watch. How about you start a thread listing your recommended videos for split by difficulty level? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurstmann Posted January 3, 2019 at 09:32 AM Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 at 09:32 AM I would also recommend 小猪佩奇. There are lots of episodes on YouTube. It's quite watchable, even as an adult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
