Videos

These videos will be almost completely in the Mandarin language, with the speaker using visuals (art, gestures, etc.) to help the learner understand what is being said. The vocabulary and speaking speed will be easy enough for beginners to understand what is being said, and to begin to connect the words they are hearing with the concepts being presented visually.

It is recommended by some [1] to get a good grasp on understanding spoken language before starting to learn written language, in order to not pick up bad habits with pronunciation caused by guessing at the sounds of the writing. Therefore, you may find it beneficial to cover up any text that is shown in these videos, so that you can focus solely on the sounds you hear.
