PICK A MOMENT 13 CREATOR VIDEOS

Find a moment you love.

From ordering a drink to exploring a city, start with a story that interests you.

The Beijing subway and mapo tofu previews use Wikimedia footage with short, approximately timed sample captions. The mapo tofu captions are machine-derived drafts; timing and wording still need listening verification. The subway announcement voice type is unknown. Other creator videos play through YouTube.

BEFORE YOU START

Learning Mandarin with videos

How can I practise listening and speaking?

Choose a video, listen to the original audio and repeat a phrase. Where sample lines are available, try replaying or looping a line and recording yourself to listen back.

Are subtitles available for every video?

Not yet. A few videos have short, approximately timed sample lines; others link to creator materials or need subtitles. Sample timings still need listening verification.

Do I need an account or a subscription?

No account is required for this free preview. Structured collections are an idea for the future and are not currently for sale.

a little more to give.
