Nothing but free videos to help you speak Mandarin!

This time they talk about the familiy.

yé ye :grandfather (your father`s father)
nǎi nai : grandmother
bà ba: father
wài gōng : grandfather ( your mother`s father)
wài pō: grandmother
mā mā: mother
gē gē : older brother
jiě jiě : older sister
dì dì: younger brother
mèi mèi : younger sister

They also try to teach the different conventional titles for uncles and aunts. This is really difficult, as a native speaker I mistake them sometimes, too :)

I think three points make this video very good:
1. At the beginning of the video there's always a review of the last lesson.
2. They make the video interactive and live. The examples in the video are also good.
3.They have subtitles in both English and Spanish

This video (see at YouTube) is of medium level difficulty. It has subtitles in English, Pinyin and Chinese characters. We especially recommend this video.
