I was watching this sick in bed with Language Reactor autopause and kept repeating lines over and over because my brain activity was on, "Listen to how nice he enunciated that, and then that but in a totally different way," so it was funny when I got to the point where you were bragging about how well you speak lol... Definitely true! I also appreciate having these shorter videos b/c if you're auto-pausing to read subtitles and repeating lines and have to look up some of the words... This took me 90 minutes to watch. I noticed that a lot of my vocabulary words from flashcards (mostly frequency lists and HSK 3.0) that I've been struggling with came up in this video, so that was great too. A lot of those words don't seem to show up much in the Du Chinese stories I'm reading or in the TV shows I'm watching so it's been hard to acquire them even though I sort-of know the definition from flashcards. I don't know them well enough to catch them if I'm just listening to the podcast, so I'm glad I could take some time with Language Reactor today. This just underscores the point about having as natural-as-possible learning materials. I do think it's good to watch some TV shows if you're not living in an immersion environment because there are a lot of types of everyday speech that don't come up in podcasts. For example, giving people simple commands like sit down, eat, close the door, that kind of thing. Simplified speech in shows with simple dialogue can also be a good starter point for beginners who can't understand podcasts yet and who don't have the patience to sit through 200 hundred hours of beginner CI videos. But you'll never understand natural speech if you never listen to natural speech.

你叫的漢語 非常好❤❤學習從面點🎉🎉
提高听力时，能预测别人接下来会说什么非常有用。这就是为什么学语言时，坚持听一个播客并反复收听很有效。这样你培养了预测能力，之后可以用在更多人的对话中。❤
谢谢！
Learning listening also helps build self correcting mechanisms
I wonder why i can understand you well as compared to other Chinese speakers
可能我说的比较清楚吧
能不能下个视频谈如何提高口语水平？
可以。
