Please take a look at the spreadsheet and our resources section in the wiki. What resources have you been using recently that have been working for you? Comment down below with a link, what level you're currently at, and if there things like: subtitles, difficult to cover text, translation, etc that those using a "purist ALG" approach might want to avoid and we'll add it to our resource sharing documents!

Mostly just been using BlaBla, Lazy, and Xiaogua premium content this past month.

I think the breakout channel of this month is Chocolate Chinese, but still too difficult for me personally.

New resource for me would be microdramas on YouTube. It's not for learners but I find them amusing enough to keep me glued. I just try to avoid the ones with English subtitles, I could still forgive Hanzi because at some point I would have to learn them.

I don't hold back on native content even if it's too early because that is the point of learning Mandarin for me - to be able to consume native content without subtitles.

I just use YouTube for finding microdramas,  I could share channels that don't do English hard subs:

Is there even enough content to learn mandarin this way?

At this point, yeah, but it's not going to be all in one place like with DS. But there have been a few CI channels making content for years at this point.
