It will only take [est_time] to read this post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos and audio lessons are brilliant for learning Chinese, especially when you’re on the go. You might already know how to say you already know how to say \u2018\u6211\u559c\u6b22\u6253\u7bee\u7403<\/a>\u2018 (w\u01d2 x\u01d0 huan d\u01ce l\u00e1n qi\u00fa) ‘I like to play basketball’ and really want to get to grips with the Chinese vocabulary of your hobbies, interests, and lifestyle choices, this is the place to start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video lessons listed in this article come from ChinesePod’s vault of video and audio files especially created for all Chinese levels, from Newbie to Advanced. I’ve labeled each lesson with their target level, but these are only a select few from each topic area, and there are plenty more to be found on Chinesepod.com<\/a>. Also, just to let you know that there are affiliate links within this post, which means if you decide to upgrade to one of ChinesePod’s subscriptions, Written Chinese will get a small fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whether you\u2019re a lover of music, a food connoisseur or a Trekkie, here are some lessons you can learn from our friends, ChinesePod! After all, you\u2019re more than just a Chinese student…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting into shape and eating healthy \u5065\u5eb7<\/a> (ji\u00e0n k\u0101ng) is becoming an important lifestyle choice for many people. Not only can you learn the Chinese names of anatomical features \u4eba\u4f53\u90e8\u4f4d\u5b66\u540d<\/a> (r\u00e9n t\u01d0 b\u00f9 w\u00e8i xu\u00e9 m\u00edng), but also how to get your organic veggies \u6709\u673a\u852c\u83dc<\/a> (y\u01d2u j\u012b sh\u016b c\u00e0i). If you take part in a yoga class \u745c\u4f3d\u8bfe<\/a> (y\u00fa ji\u0101 k\u00e8) learn the basics from breathing techniques to more difficult vocabulary like pose names. All in all, live a more zen life using the Chinese language!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry, I haven\u2019t forgotten those of you obsessed with blood, guts, and TV shows like The Walking Dead \u884c\u5c38\u8d70\u8089<\/a> (x\u00edng sh\u012b z\u01d2u r\u00f2u), there\u2019s something for you too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
