Popular Post markhavemann Posted August 5, 2021 at 12:19 PM Popular Post Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 at 12:19 PM (edited) I know there are one or two other threads about YouTube channels, but I wanted one to specifically collect channels that have soft sub in Chinese, since they are useful for learning in all kinds of ways. Those are the kind of subtitles you can turn on and off with the little button at the bottom of the youtube player. I would like to list any with traditional or simplified characters, but not English, although that might be worth it's own thread. I've listed genre and gender of the speaker (if you plan to use for shadowing purposes). Here's what I've got so far: Gender Genre 人人都该懂的经济学 M finance 眼见为识 M science 老孫聊遊戲 M gaming 李永乐老师 M science 电丸科技AK M tech 江峰时刻 M historical 小高姐的 Magic Ingredients F cooking Any additions would be welcome. I'll try to update the list and move any recommendations from posts below into the list above. As mentioned in comments below, you can use the following tools to download subs and full videos: https://downsub.com/ youtube-dl (a command line tool, very powerful but not as easy to use) Edited August 6, 2021 at 12:26 AM by markhavemann 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinKenDo Posted August 5, 2021 at 01:00 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 at 01:00 PM 小高姐的 Magic Ingredients is great for cooking vocab, recipes are great form getting used to stuff like 把 construction, most videos have subtitles. 江峰时刻 is great for historical stuff and most videos have subtitles within a few hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can grab the videofile and multiple subs, perfect for subs2srs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnoser Posted August 9, 2021 at 07:35 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 at 07:35 PM I recommend captionpop extension on chrome for finding chinese soft-subbed vids on youtube. these are chinese cartoons with soft-subs. might be useful for beginners since the dialogue is short compared to shows for adults . speaking of cartoons, there are soft-subbed peppa the pig vids on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xWOkhib-qhiea2iFS_5ly5J ep 1-6 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xXG4J02UBVsLigtjOfQ86Rr 1-26 - daily life cartoon https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xXhXPl_Al_guoMaxpZyL8am 40 min moviie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVXxasNar0U ep7-12 only - mouse cartoon - t https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xXvdcoSgjDNEo6zVaJhF6p9 eps 1-40 wooden things https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xVRYLk68YH3n_hho2RqyUPr happyfamily all 52 eps https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xXgcLJqKlSHG4Cv1IY9ZdOd ep1-25 only - not modern times https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xVv5MTqMhz4uJX1bOlDKeX7 1-31 singing show https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xXp67WuQLM5AaCO3QRmujUz everything but 46 and 48 - not modern times https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xUjKwy0CUTSSchRoH668Gwu movie with rats english subs and chinese subs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjT5q31PKk4&list=PL5X7W6vC47xXTW1EcZw1BDLVRFH5hkwY3&index=4 1-13 fox show - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xX4PJmLmr7a7iLR5Uo4KLIP 1-24 - weird camel cartoon https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5X7W6vC47xUI6h9dcKmk4YnD9DVu02IK there's a bunch of dramas with c-subs on youtube. some of them also have english subs which are fake subs sinec they were generated from google translate. the truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C666t4P4ebM&list=PLRBClVey5Bqwhzv6BzfMe5XK3BcMHcWMB&index=1 your secret- no eng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1qekZfY-8M&list=PLkvG4EWPDB0lxXS18fYgVerdx81p2wiM2 behind the scnes 1-46 - no eng https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRBClVey5BqwXsLx9QOsFEyXi8alITafW ======================REALS SUBS lover's lies 1-10 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGMn_M1Fmi2jbRT4a3f-4MV1iWlfDMNuf old drama -c -e for 1-5 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9XVMRWxmvTyRqWA9HnmLrMi0th191gyC real english subs - period drama dark lord 1-11 13-29 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhSPYBxZ94&list=PLEXBGg5OB0B-FK3r8hgXimLzB4gU54Ova&index=48 1-20 romance drama real english subs from dramafever -tree in river https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXBGg5OB0B-xtpxPFSVwhzf7rnoemeuq hikaru no go 1-7 -real eng subs + chinese subs https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlCrV9TCfzMbnvZuZpudAfl43H7_YcL9D ancicent detective 1-20-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNigIiQRC0g&list=PLHdJJ3VKDV8RyOR6oDHa_Z29X-i3RWlCk&index=1 word of honor - youku https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk3CgXKvqvFp_0e1wE1twwEJc-PL9BmKS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmayo Posted October 31, 2021 at 01:25 PM Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 at 01:25 PM Recently I quite like 悉尼奶爸 aka Sydney Daddy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbKazqxVVIT0aIm4ZPR9t4w Worth pointing out that the most recent episode or two typically don't have subs immediately, but they generally seem to get put on a few days later. I also have a soft spot for both 梁文道* and 周孝正. There are soft-subbed videos on what appear to be their channels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyKhmqpGSby-wjt4JtODdqg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBtIsU8tuFzE0U8spSUUbZw The way youtube allows you to open up the scrolling subtitles in a side panel ("open transcript) is exceedingly helpful for copy/pasting words or sentences or indeed the whole transcript into dictionaries or SRS etc. *梁文道's subtitles aren't ideal for playing around with because they're not perfectly formatted, originally I thought they were auto-generated from the audio but I don't think that's true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glu Posted November 5, 2021 at 05:43 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 at 05:43 PM @markhavemann thanks for the thread, and @realmayo thanks for the extra hints! I checked them all out and there are some that I really like. I couldn't stop myself and I downloaded the audio and the SRT from 梁文道's talk 文科生没用吗？现代人需要的人文素养 and put it through the close listening environment I've recently been posting about. You can check out the result here: https://jealousmarkup.xyz/off/tingshuo/index.html?ep=LWD-HUM I hope you'll enjoy it : ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
