I’ve recently discovered this YouTube channel aimed at supporting children with learning Chinese in an immersive way. It’s great immersion for beginners + pre-intermediates and a good way to expose yourself to other Mandarin accents (they speak with a southern accent). For beginners: Listen for key words e.g. like / is / what / have / good etc. Learn some words from the list below, then listen again. For upper beginners/pre-intermediates: Listen to see how much you understand. Listen to see how many words from the list you can hear. Learn the words from the list. Listen again to see if you can understand more. Practice shadowing with some key words/phrases to practice intonation + tones. ……… This video shows a mum and her daughter creating a volcano experiment 🌋 at home and narrating the process to the audience. ………. That said, there are no subtitles to support listening and the characters are in traditional Chinese. So, I have prepared a list of key words for you with pinyin, English + simplified characters. This way you can learn some key words and enjoy some brilliant Mandarin immersion! 😊🎧📝. Leave a comment/like to let me know if you liked it and I’ll post more in the future! 妈妈 mā ma - mum 老师 lăo shī - teacher 同学 tóng xué - classmate 火山 huǒ shān - volcano 实验 shí yàn - experiment 一起 yī qǐ - together 学习 xué xí - to study 大家好 dà jiā hǎo - hi everyone 今天 jīn tiān - today 做一个实验 zuò yī gè shí yàn - do an experiment 很好玩 hěn hǎo wán - very fun 小朋友 xiǎo péng you - child / children 什么 shén me - what 是 shì - is 很特别 hěn tè bié - very special 不一样 bù yī yàng - different / not the same 有的 yǒu de - some 海 hǎi - sea 危险 wēi xiǎn - dangerous 想象力 xiǎng xiàng lì - imagination 东西 dōng xi - thing(s) 用 yòng - to use 我们的 wǒ men de - our 不放弃 bú fàng qì - not give up 一点 yī diǎn - a little (Bit) 准备 zhǔn bèi - to prepare 里面 lǐ miàn - inside 水 shuǐ - water 红色 hóng sè - red 然后 rán hòu - and then / next 非常好 fēi cháng hǎo - excellent 太小了 tài xiǎo le - too small 大 dà - big

This browser extension helps me a lot. Maybe it will help you too. After the extension is enabled, all you need to do is to hover over the Chinese word and you will get a popup with the dictionary.

This week and last week I have practised 是 and 喜欢, so here are some sentences I've made and practised. 我是学生。 你是我的妹妹。 我是你的姐姐。 我们喜欢披萨。 她喜欢米饭。 我的妈妈喜欢喝水。

知道 zhī dào - to know / realise / be aware of - 不知道 bù zhī dào - don’t know/ not be aware of - 谁知道 shéi zhī dào - who knows (?) - 你知不知道 nǐ zhī bù zhī dào - do you know? - 早知道 zǎo zhī dào - to know in advance/ if I had known earlier… - 我知道了 wǒ zhī dào le - I get it / I understand now. Example sentences: 1. 你知不知道比赛什么时候开始？- Do you know when the match/competition starts? Nǐ zhī bù zhī dào bǐ sài shén me shí hòu kāi shǐ? 1. 我不知道你说什么。- I don’t know what you’re saying. Wǒ bù zhī dào nǐ shuō shén me. 1. 谁知道他在哪儿? - Who knows where he is?/ Does anyone know where he is? Shèi zhī dào tā zài nǎ’r Suggested practice activities (Inspired by our Weekly Checklist). 1. Do shadowing (listen and repeat) with the audio. 2. Write the sentences in characters. 3. Test yourself writing out the new word in characters to memorise. 4. Add the new word to your Mandarin flashcard app to learn it. 5. Make sentences of your own with the new word. 6. Use a dictionary (e.g. Pleco) to search for other example sentences using the key word in context. 7. Break down the characters of the new word - have you seen these characters before? Where? What key radicals are there? What components have you seen before? Make links between this word and others you know (synonyms/antonyms etc.) Submit your speaking / writing for feedback!

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about using SuperChinese to practice Mandarin and would love to hear your experiences. Is it effective for learning vocabulary and grammar. Also, is the paid version worth it or is the free version enough? Any honest feedback or alternative recommendations would be really helpful. Thanks! from last month i have learned grammer and some words
