Thank you so much for your support - you help make the future of Comprehensible Mandarin possible!

Comprehensible Mandarin depends on viewer contributions for funding. If you would like us to be able to continue producing more & better Mandarin content, please consider supporting us on Patreon.

Our current funding goal is to be able to attract & retain more editors who are able to make more complex topics understandable through pictures. Making videos comprehensible for beginners requires a significant amount of time, & with our present budget it is very difficult to hire editors, as we simply can't pay enough. We're ~$225 per month from reaching our current goal in this area.

Every little bit helps! - if every subscriber contributed even $1 per month, we would have more than enough to produce our daily videos, and we could hire more teachers, get them better equipment, & start uploading more content.

Paid supporters also receive early access to videos with downloadable links, so you can save them for watching or listening on the go, no sketchy download sites needed.

You can also help our channel grow by liking, subscribing & sharing. Thank you, & we hope you enjoy our upcoming videos!

Comprehensible Mandarin is inspired by the ALG listening-first method. We seek to make it possible for beginners to build a solid base in the language entirely through listening, with no need for translation, text, or explicit study.

For decades, research has shown that acquiring a new language by listening to interesting, compelling, authentic content may be the fastest, most effective method for learning a new language to a high level. It's also a lot more fun than traditional classroom & grammar study!

Unfortunately, for many languages including Mandarin Chinese, there is currently a major lack of material designed to be understandable to beginners without relying on translation.

Up to now, language learners who wanted to acquire Chinese through comprehensible input had to individually pay for many hours of private tutoring, with each learner having to re-invent the wheel at their own significant expense.

Our goal is to fill that gap, by crowdfunding to hire native speakers to produce a shared resource, with large amounts of compelling, comprehensible input suitable for absolute beginners.
