Can anyone recommend a good podcast, youtube channel or textbook for an intermediate level in Chinese? My school goes by the Integrated Chinese textbooks but I've recently found it to be a bit stilted. I really need to improve my listening skills and want to learn more vocabulary.
欢迎你来中国旅游,要学好普通话,你要多和中国人交流。
Hello, I'm a Chinese youth, welcome you to contact my Skype - live: 891698379, I can help you learn Chinese.
At first,I need to know your level,there're some podcasts there,but they are not good enough for language learning(not like ESLPOD),they don't tell you "why".
So I recommend you some cartoon from China,they are for children,the language is simple and so is the speed,and some of them are also interesting. Also,the cartoon I will recommend to you may have something to do with the chinese culture ,you can learn something from these cartoons.
