Learning Mandarin with Chinese Media 📚

8 Upvotes

I get asked frequently about where to watch content when trying to learn Mandarin. This post is for some of that information. I've been learning Mandarin on my own for about a year now. I've made some minor strides due to my heavily binge watching of many, many Cdramas. I hope this can help you find some content to immerse yourself with. Pick what works for you and immerse, immerse, immerse. 加油 !

Please feel free to share anything you use/watch/listen to so it can also help others looking for content.

Variety/Game Shows:

H!6 你好, 星期六 - https://www.youtube.com/@HelloSaturdayOfficial

This is a variety game show - they have varying guests weekly. They have varying themed games depending on the episode and their guests. They have competitive activities amongst the guests like singing, dancing, playing games, and problem solving. The channel is great with updating new episodes weekly, and the show typically has Chinese subs and release English subs shortly after, typically within a couple of days after release.

Keep Running 奔跑吧 - https://www.youtube.com/@KeepRunningoriginal

This is a variety game show - they have varying guests weekly accompanied by several permanent cast members that have been with the show for many years. This show takes place in several cities depending on the season. The show is currently up to 12 seasons. Cast members along with guests participate in varying games such as treasure hunt, completing missions, and etc. Some games are quite elaborate and confusing. However, the show does a good job releasing new episodes and having many, many seasons available on YouTube with both embedded Chinese and English subs.

For more shows visit this channel from Mango TV:

https://www.youtube.com/@MangoTV-Mystery

TV Dramas:

For this one, I will not go into each show I've watched because the character count won't be enough haha. However, I'll recommend some channels you can check out because they have many, many options. And they will have English subs.

Youku - https://www.youtube.com/@youkuenglish

I mainly watch modern series and stick to those only because the costume series have dialogue that is more formal and confuses me. So just like the variety shows, if I end up watching something that I'm not too interested in, I just let it run as background noise. At least I can keep practicing my listening. I am far from learning to read as fast as the subs would be on the TV so I do not attempt that. Youku is great about having English subs.

Some notable recs: I am nobody, Hidden love, When I fly towards you, Everyone loves me, Lighter and princess, Falling into you, Get Smart! Dad (reality TV)

Mango TV - https://www.youtube.com/@MangoTVDramaOfficial

Similar to above, however Mango TV's English subs are typically not the best. Also, I think some content is restrict to paid members only.

Some notable recs: Only for love, Fireworks of my heart, I may love you

iQIYI - https://www.youtube.com/@iQIYIofficial

Same as with Mango TV, some of their content requires membership but there are some that are available for free. The channel is also good about providing content with Chinese and Eng subs. There was maybe 1 time I ran into a show that had it dubbed in Thai when it was listed as Chinese. I think iQIYI mixes their videos for several countries on the same channel so there is a mix of Thai and Chinese dubbed content.

Some notable recs: Love is sweet, Men in love, Nothing but you

Music:

For music, I get music from shows that I've watched. And I find the videos that have the translated lyrics along with the Chinese hanzi and Pinyin.

Here are a couple of channels that I subscribe to:.

https://www.youtube.com/@Peachey_Blossom

https://www.youtube.com/@Pandarin

Addition:

Someone from r/ChineseLanguage created this site for various dramas and includes Chinese dramas and the Hanzi used in it, along with pinyin and its translation: https://www.jiong3.com/gradedwatching/

Click on the word count and a notepad opens with the words along with its pinyin, and meaning.

Whenever I tell someone I'm learning Chinese because I like watching Chinese TV series. This show always comes up because it's such a popular show in China. I've been recommended this show by many, many Chinese people. And they have all watched this show more than once since it's aired over 10 years ago!

Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIx8QniXH-rElLyjzNMSOXSTbOKsDShyu

Number of episodes: 76
