❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey everyone! Here are some Chinese-speaking youtubers. I think watching youtube helps a lot with listening comprehension and improving pronunciation, I highly recommend it!
It’s just a small collection, so feel free to add more!
冏星人
Mostly book and movie reviews, other topics include mental health, psychology, or current ‘hot topics’ in Taiwanese society. Weekly updates, soothing voice, great fake beard!
囧星人今天沒吃藥
冏星人’s side channel for random stuff.
Yale Chen
Lifestyle, life advice, random stuff. Updates weekly, super cute voice and face!
Lexie Tai
Mostly feminism and LGBTQ+ topics with random stuff in between, doesn’t update that regularly. Cute personality, awesome dimples!
同志道合Lesbianingtogayther
Another channel by Lexie Tai, this one’s for LGBTQ+ topics only. Hasn’t been updated in a while, so just look through the videos that are up there, they’re very useful for learning LGBTQ+ related vocabulary!
安慰记心理小店
As the title suggests: Psychology and mental health! Very informative, updates multiple times a month, and - I know I keep saying this - nice voices.
加菲猫Maya
Beauty and lifestyle. Hasn’t been updated in a while.
黃阿瑪的後宮生活
Ummm… cats. Just cats. They have 7 cats. Some of them quite fat, I might add. Pretty annoying background music, but hey. Cats!
This week I want to focus on using this resource it’s a website that has audio and transcripts of different mandarin accents, it also has a small chart at the top to show you the differences in pronunciation that it has from standard mandarin.
Here’s an example Chart for the Singapore Accent and the differences from standard mandarin accent:
zh/ch/sh -> z/c/s
ji/qi/xi -> zi/ci/si
ju/qu/xu -> zhü/chǜ/shü
Some of the accents it has: Sichuan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bejing, Chongqing, Nanjing Dongbei, Northern Accent and many others and there’s a gap between them if you really listen to them.
My favorite part about it is that it has the transcript because not all of the audios specifically the beijing ones are clear audio, and because my method for improving my listening is writing down everything I hear I can check to see if I heard everything correctly
