你好!hello! so this is my first masterpost and i decided to make a masterpost on chinese since i am currently learning chinese and have been since i was around 5. i haven’t seen very many chinese masterposts here and hoped this will help every single one of you who are currently learning chinese or would like to start learning!!
the basics:
chinese tools learn chinese - they have 31 lessons!
bbc learn chinese - several different sources
memrise - i’ve heard lots of good things about this site!!
quizlet - great for grammar, flashcards, i used this at school since my chinese teacher made sets for use to learn!
CCTV learning chinese - CCTV is a chinese tv broadcaster, this has a lot of videos you can watch
mandarin chinese pinyin chart with audio - awesome chart of pinyin and tones
you could also find a chinese ethnic school near you, this is what i did but i know many non-chinese who choose to go to a chinese school since you are surrounded by others who are also at your level and you have a teacher in person to teach and guide you. having native chinese speakers around you is definitely helpful and it will help you develop listening and speaking skills! :)
apps:
learn chinese - chineseskill [ android | ios ] free
learn chinese - hello chinese [android | ios ] free
skritter [ android | ios ] free for a week, then you have to pay
pleco dictionary (the best thing ever honestly) [ android | ios ] free and there is a paying option but the free version is still good!
line dictionary [ android | ios ] free
laokang tone test [ ios ] free but no android version :(
shi zhi - learn characters [ android (this is a similar app and its cute!!) | ios ] the android app is free but ios app isn’t
dictionaries:
MDBG dictionary - has both a simplified and tradition character option and also you can draw the characters and they can recognize them
line dictionary - sometimes this site doesn’t work for me but when it does it is very useful!! also has a handwriting option
chinese tools
chinese text annotation - i’m not sure if this counts as a dictionary, however whenever you copy and paste or type a chinese paragraph into the box you can annotate the phrases and get the pinyin and the english meaning
google translate - ok i know this isn’t a very reliable translation option, however when you type a paragraph of chinese into it, it shows the pinyin which is v useful for those who need to write down the pinyin into their textbooks etc etc
other resources:
中外对话 china dialogue - read chinese articles for you to improve your reading skills and to find new vocab
slow chinese - another chinese article site where it also has audio and podcasts on itunes. slow chinese also translates not only into english, but german, french, portuguese and many more languages!! [podcasts]
music, movies & tv shows etc.:
myasiantv - other than korean dramas and movies, myasiantv offers chinese ones!!
最强大脑 the brain china - a game/talent show aiming to find people with exceptional brain power
非诚勿扰 if you are the one - a game/dating show, addicting :’)))
奔跑吧兄弟 hurry up, brother (aka. running man china) - running man is a very popular variety show in korea and now there is a chinese version based on the original version!
learn chinese now - youtube channel
chinese class 101 - youtube channel
tips:
try to make learning chinese fun!! watching tv shows in chinese with or without subs will definitely help you pick up on some vocab and pronunciation
engage with native speakers, if you have chinese friends, ask them to help you with conversation and pronunciation, don’t be shy!
try to use at least one word/phrase in a sentence each day, this will help you in future for making sentences
keep on practicing! i stopped learning chinese for 2 years and i actually lost a lot of vocab that i learnt and when i started again, it was hard to remember some of it ;A;

I did not at all expect my first post to get as much love as it did but I’m glad it was helpful :)
Read under the cut for some additional resources!
