strongly disagree. learning chinese by youtube. I comprehend 15% but I pick up new patterns and words all the time.
- pchristensen 8y agoAny good sources you recommend for learning Chinese on YouTube? I’m just getting started with HelloChinese and Fluent Forever - watching video seems too deep for now.

- rahimnathwani 8y agoI find it hard to maintain motivation and attention if I'm not getting at least ~30%. This applies to both movies and real-life conversations in another language. And, now I think about it, it also applies to English-language materials that require specific technical background, e.g. academic papers.
