polaroidsredwine Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I discovered OMG!美语 about two years ago, I think. The channel is definitely for people who have learned enough Mandarin to understand basic conversation. 美语 basically discusses everyday sorts of topics, like being sick or figuring out to wear. She does talk about some topics related to current events, which is really nice, and I love how she paces her talking. It's a nice way to get in some listening and comprehension, and yes, there are subtitles in English.Click here for the page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguaholic Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I just watched some of the videos of OMG and I must say that this kind of video with audio in both English and Chinese can be quite useful. However, this is a little bit too "comical" for me, as she is trying soooo hard to be funny :=) Still, I can see how one could learn some Mandarin from those videos, I guess it is just not my cup of tea.

polaroidsredwine Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Her videos are definitely an acquired taste. Still, they're fairly engaging and entertaining when I need something to lighten my mood while studying, which is nice. I also like her method of employing new vocabulary! It's very handy having them used in a current events fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrender2air Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The goofiness is a bit difficult to deal with but if you can get passed that the videos will be really useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
