Kevin In Shanghai
When you reach a particular level of proficiency, you can progress beyond the standard grammar and vocabulary video lessons and study the language through Kevin in Shanghai's cultural movies.
With videos like “微信上的快乐瞬间 (wēi xìn shàng de kuài lè shùn jiān), Happiest Moment on Wechat be like,” the producer likes to put a funny and relevant spin on the material.
However, what sets this channel apart is the cross-cultural aspect of his movies, in which Kevin discusses language and cultural contrasts between mainland China and Taiwan, China and other nations, Chinese-speaking foreigners and native Chinese speakers, and more. There's even a movie that contrasts Mandarin dialects from different parts of the world. There's also a video that compares Mandarin accents from around the world, which might help you improve your own pronunciation and accent.
Overall, these clips are entertaining language and culture courses that are best suited for intermediate and advanced students. Beginners are, however, invited to enjoy his amusing videos because they have English subtitles. Hopefully, watching these fun videos will help you enhance your Mandarin and cultural understanding while also providing a much-needed serotonin boost.
