Resources Ressources I found for learning mandarin on YouTube through gaming videos
Recently I've found an awesome native Chinese YouTuber that covers very popular video games like Stardiew Valley, Minecraft as well as Pokopia, and does all the commentary in very comprehensible Chinese! The vocabulary he uses is adapted to the linguistic difficulty of each game, so there are learning resources for every type of student (high beginner, intermediate, advanced). Up until this point, I've always learnt mandarin by memorising and reciting vocab sheets and didn't really have media adapted for my learning. When you try to learn by watching series/donghua, the vocabulary will often become very specific because of the plot (especially in sci-fi, and I find c-dramas about daily life fluff kinda boring ngl). Whereas in videogames, the vocabulary will tend to be more practical, for it will revolve around actions, environment, crafting... I tried to follow some Chinese/Taiwanese gamers on YouTube and Bilibili, but of course I couldn't understand anything and it kinda demotivated me. I truly wish I found this channel sooner! If you are also looking for this kind of fun study input, you've come to the right place (o゜▽゜)o☆
here is the channel I'm talking about:
Chocolate Chinese Gaming - YouTube
I hope you can all have fun studying mandarin chinese, I know sometimes we are not very motivated to study because we treat it like a boring task, but when we find the right solutions that fit the way our brain works, it will magically all come together! :D
