Listening with Chinese and English subtitles in 10 stories

About the course

As you all know, listening is very important when learning a language. Good listening habits help with word recognition and pronunciation skills for speaking Chinese.

I have been teaching Chinese for 10 years. During that time, I found that just listening to the MP3s that come with text books is not enough to help you become a fluent Chinese speaker. Some students understand that, and they try to watch news or TV shows. This does help, but not in the most efficient way, because there are still so many words and phrases you don’t know. It takes a long time to learn the structure of the language, the vocabulary, phrases and expressions without a native speaker’s help. Again, it must be said, without good listening you cannot speak Chinese very well!

That’s why I created these 10 real stories. Each story will play three times. The first time the story is only in Chinese. During the first play, you will listen, roughly know the meaning and pay attention to the parts you don’t know. The second play is with Pinyin and Chinese character subtitles, so you will find some words which you know, but did not recognize during the first play. The third play is with Pinyin, Chinese characters and English subtitles. In this third play, you will learn some new words you don’t know.

Trust me, after studying these 10 stories, you will have taken a solid step on your way to fluency. In addition, the selected stories will not only help you learn Chinese, but to understand and know the culture of China as well.

  • Kev Johnson
  I find Johns approach to listening with subtitles more conducive to my learning methods. The repetition of the passages, along with the ability to hear clearly what is being said, and then to also be able to track the words being spoken, is a great help. Especially the pinyin!
  The variation in content of the stories will also provide a good insight to Chinese life! Thanks John.
• 

  • Dong Trang
  A ten video course is perfect for those trying to improve your Chinese vocabulary on a wide range of topics. The speed is steady and clear with pictures and English/pinyin subtitles if you are lost. I would recommend for those of elementary levels to mid intermediate level Chinese learners. GIVE IT A TRY…what do you have to lose?
• 

  • Marios Triviza
  good quality, structured course.
• 

  • Martin Ljungdahl Ristare
  Good material for learning Chinese. I’m at intermediate level and found your videos very useful!
• 

  • Paul Mckenna
  I have been learning Mandarin with John for quite some time and his course is very focused on everyday language and the support and explanations John provides is excellent and makes the learning process very comfortable and a very pleasant experience
• 

  • Ozma Mcithwa
  Excellent bite-sized passages, perfectly suited to intermediate Chinese learners. Clear, even-paced voice facilitates understanding. Fills a gap for accessible reading materials in the Chinese learning market.
• 

  • Kylie Sparks
  These interesting short videos are very well done. First you can listen to it alone, then read the story with pinyin/hanzi as you watch, and then watch it again with pinyin/hanzi and english. Very effective method.

  • Mandy Wilson
  I’ve given this course 5 stars and would definitely recommend it for a number of reasons. I’ve been learning Mandarin for a couple of years and I find listening the hardest skill to improve, in most coursebooks the listening exercises are really too short. In this video course the 10 videos are long enough (but not too long) and also interesting, it’s great to learn about life in China (I really enjoyed the video about making noodles, I might even give it a go myself!). The tutor speaks clearly and the 3 stages are really useful. I imagine I will use this a lot, and hopefully improve my listening skills.

Learn Chinese online with Chinese Teacher John

I am a professional Chinese teacher with over 10 years experience. Please feel free to contact me!

Do you need to speak better Chinese?
Do you need to pass the HSK exam?
Do you need to write better emails, speak to international colleagues, or attend meetings and presentations in Chinese?
Are you a beginner? Or you have to see your Chinese mother-in-law soon?

These are the skills and situations I specialize in.

Around 2005, I started to teach Chinese. As soon as I started teaching, I recognized that I loved it.

When I decided I wanted to be a professional teacher, I took formal classes at Dalian Foreign Language University to study teaching Chinese as a second language. After that, I quit my job and worked as a full-time Chinese teacher.

I worked for many language schools since 2007. During that time, there were many overseas students in universities in Dalian who needed to prepare for the HSK test. So, my teaching included classes to prepare for the test. At the same time, because of my seven years of experience with the trading company, plus having a marketing major in university, students also enjoyed my Chinese business class.

Since 2010, I began freelance teaching. I no longer work for the local schools as I can earn more working on my own. And, the most important thing is that I can find enough students to teach.

In our sessions, we will focus on the aspect that you need, with an emphasis on speaking. Our main goal is to improve your confidence so that you will communicate better in every situation.

Once you schedule your trial lesson, I will test your level so that I will know your level of Chinese before we meet. Then, during our trial, I will determine your oral ability and we will talk about the areas that you need to improve.

I have taught over 350 hours on Italki and got Rank 5.0 which is the highest.

I can help you with your conversation, HSK preparation, business Chinese and Chinese characters. Feel free to sign up for a trial class today!

'As always a really useful lesson. Your explanations of grammar are so clear!'

Valentin
'It was a pleasure meeting John! I really enjoyed his calm, gentle and highly professional attitude. When starting off with our first lesson, he immediately started writing down the vocabulary that I could improve on, which is extremely helpful. He explained sentence structures and the meaning of words perfectly and I am sure to continue taking his classes.'

Kylie Sparks
“老师John总是分享他的生活故事跟学生，还有她倾听我的故事。这个我很喜欢。这次她给我看照片的她的家人和朋友。我告诉她关于昨天下午的活动。我学了恨多祝词和生词。谢谢！”

DongTrang 张正东
'excellent lesson as always. I learned lots of medicine related new words today. I enjoyed discussing some of the problems with the medical system in china. John corrected and refined my sentences. I am able to come up with nearly coherent sentences (altogether my sentences are full of errors) I am able to make somewhat coherent sentences. : ). Slowly getting better. I wish I had more time to study and review.'
