Just curious what YouTube channels you think are great to learn some basic Mandarin. Cheers!
this one is the only that is all right. Chinese learning material compere with other languages is not the best.
does that come with a free Beijng accent, rrrr?

Hahaā¦Yah, I think thereās a little work on his singing needed. But 100% for passion and effort. 
Many thanks!
Thank you for recommending my videos!
There are a number of lesson series available on my channel, like Traveling Taiwan, Street Mandarin, Tasty Taiwan, Intermediate Chinese and Tasty America. I hope you find some of them helpful and interesting!
Would be great to hear what you think.
This one is good. Especially for beginners and for instantly usable idioms and vocab. Its mostly in English but has good videos and its presented well. They speak super clearly.
Anything for the young kids? 5-7 years old?
does not need to be traditionalā¦
They can watch education stuffs in Chinese, like å·§č cartoons
Hey thereā¦this channel seems alright for kids: Chinese Buddy. Most of the songs are pretty catchy, some I donāt like, but overall not too bad. Anyhow, thatās from my own exploration.
Once you have a few basics down, Iām a big fan of Twin Cities Chinese Tutor for additional grammar points.
Latest one from this channel mentioned above is pretty good. Itās a live feed type thingo, but lots of current conversational stuff that you could throw in if you are chatting with someone. 
Great channel for learning Taiwanese Mandarin
The Refold community has a lot of recommendations on this website
Seconding Grace Mandarin! For raw/native listening immersion, channels like å ¬č¦ę°čē¶² (PTS News), ē¶åå£å³ (MixFlavor), or native Taiwanese vloggers are also awesome once you get past the beginner stage.
A huge hurdle when using native Chinese YouTube channels for immersion (especially if you follow the Refold workflow mentioned above) is that almost all of them use burned-in / hardcoded captions. Standard popup dictionaries (like Zhongwen or Yomitan) donāt work because thereās no selectable HTML text in the video player.
If you watch on desktop, I built a free browser extension called YuzuLingo to fix this. It runs local OCR over web video players so you can hover your mouse directly over hardcoded YouTube captions for instant pinyin/definition lookups while listening to the audio.
Hope the channel recommendations help, and hope the extension makes reading the hardsubs on native YouTube videos a bit easier!
