You guys are the best podcast for Mandarin. Please do not lose hope. Keep coming up with more topics relating to daily life and China or taiwan, and you guys will keep growing. Also ask your viewers at the end of each video to give you a thumbs up. 😊
I truly believe your audience will grow. You are the best Chinese RUclips educators around because your topics and conversations have depth, which viewers like myself appreciate. Perhaps you can rethink formats and edits, but the content and conversation is unique, there is no other platform for Chinese learning that is at your level of intellectual and moral depth, and it will definitely bring you success, even if it’s slower or not in the way you expect. Jia you!
You didn’t fail, you just evolved. You are not old, you got life experience. It has only been 2 years. Once you pass the 5 year mark, you will laugh about what you used to worry about. Keep posting. I am not even learning Chinese but I like listening to the three of you chatting and just look at the subtitles on occasion.
The thing about a channel like this is although the views at times may seem low, they are real engaged viewers, meaning in other channels with videos with 30k views most of the people probably clicked on it once and watched it for ten seconds, whereas here the subscribers watch many of the videos from beginning to end. It may not be the numbers you guys want but your content is incredibly valuable to a large group of people. I think this is the best podcast for learning Chinese on youtube currently
I remember when I first noticed your channel back in summer. It seems like a long time ago because of the progress I've made in Chinese, to a considerable degree because of you. Back then, I would subscribe to any Chinese learning channel I could find that was still active. I would just watch a couple of videos from each channel to get a feeling of what was out there, to feel that there was a lot of material to make enough progress in the upcoming 6 months. I didn't think much of your channel because I'm not a person who watches podcasts. Usually, I listen to audiobooks or watch videos that expand my knowledge. Also, my Chinese was rather limited so I didn't understand much and the beginning of the videos didn't feel very professional. A few months later, my Chinese had grown to a level that, when I accidentally stumbled across one of your videos again, I could recognize 50% of the words with English subtitles. I had a day off then, and I continued listening to three episodes, after which I felt that my listening had improved. It took a dozen more episodes before I started appreciating what you're doing. There aren't actually that many alternatives to Dashu Mandarin that fill that gap between low intermediate and advanced. You really can't benefit from C-dramas if you're intermediate. Even now, when I can listen to you and some other native podcasts without looking at subtitles, I can't understand C-dramas to a degree that I find satisfactory. The interaction between you is unique, and I will come back to your channel even if my level goes up to HSK9. In some of the blind box questions, you went deep into pretty sensitive topics and shared a lot of yourself. That's special. From the dozens of Chinese channels I've subscribed to, your channel is the only one I'm still watching regularly (well, and the two associated ones). Subscriber numbers are just that - numbers. People often subscribe and then don't watch another video. If you need to look at a number, I'd rather suggest you look at your views-to-subscriber ratio. The biggest channel for learning Chinese has 30 times more subscribers than you, but most of their videos have just a couple of hundred views. Other successful channels that have 10 times more subscribers than you have a ratio of 10%, which is OK. But some of your recent videos have a ratio of up to 25%. By this metric, you've clearly not failed. But it's better not to look too much at numbers because no matter what metric you reach, you will always feel that it's not enough. As an INFJ-A, I feel the urge to share other ideas and points of improvement, but I think I don't need to. Your channel is doing great. Just make sure you're enjoying what you're doing, and your audience will feel it.
Don’t lose heart please! Your videos are sooo incredibly helpful. I lost my mother to cancer last year and she was the only family member I spoke Mandarin to. Having found you made me feel like I have found someone my mother’s age (she was only in her 50s). I find it so comforting to hear your natural conversations like I would have with my mom. Happy new year Dashu!
Keep it up guys! and your individual channels. I often recommend you, and the original richard chinese language lesson streams. I think you standout in a world where everyone chases beginner content. The algorithm isn't fair and perhaps isn't currently set up to find an audience of Intermediate+ chinese learners, but when it does, or for some other sudden reason you should explode.
I watch Mandarin content from two channels, one being yours, for 1 hour a day. Your conversations are interesting and entertaining to me, but the main selling point is that you really hit the sweet spot, being quite advanced but still significantly more manageable than the channels for natives that I enjoy. In only a couple of months doing this, I already feel like I have to pause, rewind and look at the subtitles way less often.
Hi. I absolutely agree with your points on why your channel doesn’t grow, it’s true that the algorithm probably doesn’t see it as smth interesting because many people don’t understand what you say because the speed of the speech is too high, though your channel is still very helpful even for beginner learners like me, even though I don’t understand like 70%, I still listen to it as a background when I run errands or go somewhere. But yeah, I guess if you sometimes made easier episodes where beginners and intermediate learners can understand, that would increase the views Anyways, thanks for your content !
You guys are 100% not failing! You are supporting, entertaining, and teaching many students across the world! Perhaps some more really beginner content would help the channel grow, as I would say the vast majority of Chinese learners never get good enough to watch this and / or give up. Maybe more beginner content would allow you to capture that audience, similar to 'Lazy Chinese'
Or some content at levels similarly distributed as 'Dreaming Spanish', Ben shu may want to check this out as he speaks spanish and can see what I mean :)
Another Idea is more 'out and about' content, showing us around, narrating, as we then also get more visuals and things to see, while learning a bit about life in China
As a Chinese learner, I’ve noticed a big challenge when it comes to finding the right content. There’s an abundance of materials for beginners, and plenty for advanced learners, but there’s a noticeable gap for intermediate learners. I like to call this gap “the death valley of the intermediate level.” I feel that Dashu Mandarin leans more towards advanced learner content with its natural, conversational speech. If you’re looking to reach a broader audience, maybe consider bridging this gap! For example, one of you could occasionally pretend to be less fluent in Chinese (putting yourselves in our shoes) and take some time to explain key terms or phrases-something like what FreeToLearnChinese does (maybe interview her sometime?). Just a thought! 😊 P.S. You joked about your appearance, and while I think you all look great, it seems like not much thought goes into your outfits or the background decor. When I think of China, I imagine the vibrant colors, shapes, and designs that represent its rich culture. As a viewer, I’d love to see those aspects reflected in your videos-it’s a visual medium, after all! Your intro is funny, but I would love to see if you could harmonize a little more (a challenge for you 😄) Wishing your channel all the best for 2025! I really appreciate the effort you put into creating valuable content. 加油！
The last few months have been pretty tough because of work. Hopefully, the new year will start a bit more relaxed, so I can find more time to watch your videos. I have to watch them with additional subtitles because, as you mentioned, your level isn’t quite comprehensible input for me right now-but someday it will be! Then, I could even use my time sitting in the car to listen to them. I love all three of you so much, truly! And I love your content-it’s always deep and meaningful! And yes, I’ve been one of those people in recent months who forgot to leave comments because I watched your videos while doing things in the kitchen. You haven’t failed. The RUclips algorithm just sucks. It often filters out your videos and shows tons of other channels instead. The algorithm doesn’t want us to stick with one creator-it just wants to give us a dopamine kick with new channels. It’s so annoying because even though I use notifications, I often have to search to see if you’ve released something new. But despite that, I truly believe you have one of the healthiest audiences out there!!! I’ve set some (flexible) learning goals for 2025 because I’ve been feeling frustrated about my work situation and my time management-it hasn’t allowed me to improve as much as I’d like to. It’s not just frustration-it’s been kind of painful. The past two weeks, I’ve watched some interesting videos featuring TJ Power and Ali Abdaal-they’ve helped me get back on track 💪🏻😁 . Watching your videos always feels like coming home. Thank you! ❤️
Hang in there ! your channel is already top of many lists for suggested listening materials at intermediate / advanced levels. I don’t have time to listen to everything (and obviously 我的写作水平还不太高😅）but Dashu is still among the favorite to listen to for practice. Already made a lot of progress since I started to follow you three. Lots of good luck for 2025 !
I loooove your podcast, I listen to it everyday on my way to work and it makes it more fun and productive. I hope you guys don't give up, growing an audience sometimes takes time, but I believe you'll get there!❤ Wish you all the best in 2025!
I just found your channels, and i am a student which is learn Mandarin, and i'm so grateful that i found this channel, i Will watching always your videos. Please don't give up to always make content, i Will share this channel to my friend to support you guys. Keep it up ❤❤❤
I really like you guys, I like your personalities and the topics you cover. It is like you said in the beginning though, your content is just slightly too advanced for the majority of intermediate learners. As my level increases though, I will definitely be watching more of your content. Keep up the good work!
I think the market of Chinese language learning isn't that big. And it's even less for upper intermediate /advanced learners. But I really like your videos! Thank you for not giving up^^
You guys are awesome please dont stop. I am learning Chinese and your content is awesome. I still don't understand a lot but over time i noticed big improvement
Although i don't watch every episode, i love each one i DO watch. You pick interesting topics, your pronunciation and vocabulary is clear and simple enough not to discourage the learners, yet challenging enough for us to get some real practice. I always recommend your channel to people with intermediate level and up. Please please stay on RUclips ❤ ❤
The sad truth is, for Chinese learning RUclips channels people only watch click bait videos like:"the best way to learn Chinese, hsk 5 in 1 week". And never actually learn Chinese. The people who actually learn will search their prefered type of content to watch and improve vocabulary. I just dont know of there's a big demand for this type of content, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy this type of content and think it is helping me improve. Good luck I hope you guys reach what ever goals you have in 2025 ❤.
I think your content is basically advanced Chinese .i discovered it in 2023 and i gues its the longest podcast i litsen to very interesting .... just planning to take my HSK 5 from 乌干达 。i really love the topics ..
滴水穿石，路遥知马力；时光筛人，细水长流者最可贵。你们用时间赢得了观众，而不是依靠一时的爆红。那些用心了解你们的人，会更加理解和忠诚，而不是那些追求一时热闹、随时准备挑剔的人。 I use your channel as a measure to track my understanding of the Chinese language and to set goals. Although I am still on my learning journey, standing at the foot of the mountain, I deeply appreciate channels like yours that offer authenticity and rich insights into diverse topics such as culture, people, and language. 加油，叔叔们！❤❤❤
Your channel is the best Chinese podcast that i have seen. Your contents are amazing, especially those videos with both english and chinese subtitles so that i can see the pinyin while reading english subtitles. Keep going and you will be very successful one day. Wishing you all the best ❤
I am a beginner, but I listen to you anyway (with English subtitles😅), because you are very funny, down to earth, 3 very unique characters, with unique styles, broadcasting from different locations. I especially love your episodes with guests, when they share their Chinese learning journey and life stories. I don’t need “special effects”, my only suggestion, though not a big issue - better video quality for Ben and Richard. I often watch you on my smart TV and their videos are a bit blurry. Oh, and I love your Dashu logo.
I don’t think you guys fail on this cuz i really like your content to be honest and for non native speakers who try to find comprehensive input content like me, I definitely love your content that it’s helpful. Keep going on it and thank you for creating amazing content like this❤❤
5:46 i recently subscribed to the channel and i don't understand most of what's being said but I subscribed just for that reason. I try to listen without subtitles on but I go back and forth of turning cc on and off and rewinding the video. Literally did that for this comment 😅 yalls work is much appreciated. 加油！
老师们好！我很感谢你们，你的频道又好玩又有趣！I got this channel recommendation after watching some videos from Richard 老师 several months ago. I subscribed immediately and since then I've watched many of your videos. Also discovered your other personal YT channels. I feel is so refreshing to watch and listen to you, you add some variety to the YT Chinese learner's community. Your content is great! very authentic and I hear more and more people talking about you. The only challenge I've come across is that sometimes the English subtitles seem out of sync in some videos. But maybe this problem was already fix, in this video it works just fine. I hope you keep up the good work and still have fun while doing it 加油！
I love dashu mandarin! i think the topic that really made me hook mostly about politics and culture between Taiwan and China... I also do really love live tour video in xian before, that also very interesting maybe teacher richard can give some live tour in taiwan too hehe
❤ You guys are great. 👍🏼 Please don’t stop your channel. I listen to your Spotify podcast driving home after work everyday . Not a native speaker, your conversations about life, culture and the beautiful Chinese language has helped elevate my vocabulary, conversational ability besides improving my pronunciation . Thank you Dashu for your efforts researching very interesting, informative podcasts for us. Wish you success achieving your subscription goal this year. Ps: Will appreciate If there is a bilingual translation on Spotify.
I think even if there are other resources for more advanced students, having content in mandarin on the "western" side of the internet is still a big advantage. I cannot make sense of bilibili and its culture for example, it's such an alien environment I'd rather stay on youtube. Even if I could understand the videos there. I'm also not really interested in Cdramas which eliminates a really big portion of Chinese media accesible to the west when it comes to my options. I enjoy the kind of laid-back content your podcast is though, I subscribed 👍
One thing I think that would greatly improve all your videos are the dual 汉字and english subtitles. The pinyin is maybe not always the best for intermediate to advanced since naturally english speakers will gravitate towards pinyin and not learn as effectively the 汉字. However if every video has dual captions it will make them watchable by every intermediate speaker instead of only the advanced. If they are only English it makes learning the hanzi harder and if they are only hanzi it makes understanding every word harder as well, I think dual setting is perfect
I love watching your videos. I watch everyday. Keep it up! Hang in there! I only understand about 50%, sometimes less, but I am making progress and I love the fact that you give me an opportunity to experience normal speed day by day chinese.
(I didnt watch the ep yet) You guys are literally the most interesting podcast for learners out there! I dont know how you do it, but you are able to talk about a range of topics using simple vocab. Other podcasts directed at learners are usually very boring, they stick to typical "learning" topics. When Im listening to you, I feel like Im simply in on a conversation between friends. Tbh i DID wonder before, why you dont have more followers here. I have no idea why!!
Love your channel and really hope you continue. a couple of more general comments for you. I tend to agree that you are operating at advanced level chinese and therefore you're competing against a huge amount of native content whose primary purpose is to entertain. I am not sure a huge subscriber base is realistic as most chinese learners are beginners and only a fraction of chinese learners progress to higher levels. another channel i follow is mandarin corner which has 200k followers, the content is also advanced, but it probably focuses on more 'popular' themes and puts in a lot of time on interviewing, sub-titles etc. I tend to prefer your videos with a fourth person. I find talking over one another while on the one hand is more natural form of conversation and lively, but makes understanding what is said super challenging. I originally found your channel through a recommendation from another channel - are you doing enough to promote yourselves on other channels/platforms especially related to language learning (steve kaufmann?). are you on other platforms insta/tiktok?

Happy new year !!!
我觉得大叔不是那么火因为你的材料水平比较高，但这样的内容很重要，因为高水平的学习者进步很难，你们的粉丝真的很喜欢大叔频道，辛苦了！
Keep it up guys! and your individual channels. I often recommend you, and the original richard chinese language lesson streams. I think you standout in a world where everyone chases beginner content. The algorithm isn't fair and perhaps isn't currently set up to find an audience of Intermediate+ chinese learners, but when it does, or for some other sudden reason you should explode.
8:00 虽然我喜欢看国产电视剧，但是我更喜欢看你们的视频，因为我知道这些材料有助于提高我的中文水平。我看电视剧是为了放松，但你们的视频让我学到了最多的知识。千万别放弃！你们的观众一定会越来越多！加油！
I watch Mandarin content from two channels, one being yours, for 1 hour a day. Your conversations are interesting and entertaining to me, but the main selling point is that you really hit the sweet spot, being quite advanced but still significantly more manageable than the channels for natives that I enjoy.

你们成功了！
对我来说，你们是目前学习中文的最佳播客，毫无疑问排名第一。
你们的受众群体会持续增长。随着中国在全球舞台上的影响力日益增加，会有越来越多的人想学中文。你们已经走在前面了，这意味着你们的未来一片光明。
我想分享一个我在学习中文过程中学到的最喜欢的智慧：
农夫明白：
事情需要时间，但
在这段时间里你不能懒惰，
你必须做好自己的部分，这样大自然才能做好它的部分。
非常感谢你们制作了如此出色的内容！
谢谢你的智慧小语 大叔们很喜欢，我们都要先做好我们的责任!
老师们，你们别失望啊，
我刚开始看你们的播客就喜欢了，我真的喜欢你们的内容啊。
希望你们会得到很多订阅者。
谢谢帅哥

GOGOGO!👍
我超爱你们了！已经和几个好的朋友分享了你们的你的 RUclips 频道了！ 希望你们的观众越来越多了！继续努力吧！加油啊！
The last few months have been pretty tough because of work. Hopefully, the new year will start a bit more relaxed, so I can find more time to watch your videos.

I’ve set some (flexible) learning goals for 2025 because I’ve been feeling frustrated about my work situation and my time management-it hasn’t allowed me to improve as much as I’d like to. It’s not just frustration-it’s been kind of painful.
The past two weeks, I’ve watched some interesting videos featuring TJ Power and Ali Abdaal-they’ve helped me get back on track 💪🏻😁 .
Watching your videos always feels like coming home.
Thank you!
❤️
谢谢妮可 大叔们可是一直惦记着你 希望你新的一年 事事顺心
我发现视频时不说英语的中文老师YT上不算很火，但是对我来说这样的内容最有用，最有意思，因为我的中文比英语好得多
我很喜欢你们的视频，谢谢你们来给中文学习者提供优秀的内容！
👍谢谢你的鼓励

超爱大叔中文。成为您们的会员后，真的很值得。有更多的会员视频，每周日的课很精彩，也有会员的社会。
可盈一直都很支持我们!
I just found your channels, and i am a student which is learn Mandarin, and i'm so grateful that i found this channel, i Will watching always your videos. Please don't give up to always make content, i Will share this channel to my friend to support you guys. Keep it up ❤❤❤
大叔们、千万不要放弃啊！我们超爱听你们的博客。加油！❤
加油！💪
真得话说：学习中文的话，我把你们的视频成我最好进步的原因，你们最好普通话podcast的頻道！You can do it! 加油！！
👍
谢谢老师们
👍 哇 谢谢许诺 好久不见了
I really like you guys, I like your personalities and the topics you cover. It is like you said in the beginning though, your content is just slightly too advanced for the majority of intermediate learners. As my level increases though, I will definitely be watching more of your content. Keep up the good work!
三位大叔不要傷心，你們的頻道真棒，專門，內容非常豐富。對中高級學生有很多幫助！我大概一年前開始看你們的視頻，用你們的內容來認真學漢語。我的口語水平進步了那麼快，我的中國朋友都非常驚訝。我現在的目標是提高我的讀書能力，所以送自己買三本查叔和璨叔寫的書來做聖誕節禮物。剛開始讀一讀，你們寫得很好。最近工作和生活都有點忙所以我沒有時間聽你們的播客或視頻，但是一直一直支持你們。大叔們加油！！
你们博客是中文最好的。继续前进，不要放弃哦🎉🎉🎉
一起加油啊!
I think the market of Chinese language learning isn't that big. And it's even less for upper intermediate /advanced learners. But I really like your videos! Thank you for not giving up^^
You guys are awesome please dont stop. I am learning Chinese and your content is awesome. I still don't understand a lot but over time i noticed big improvement
谢谢你 我们会加油的
Although i don't watch every episode, i love each one i DO watch. You pick interesting topics, your pronunciation and vocabulary is clear and simple enough not to discourage the learners, yet challenging enough for us to get some real practice. I always recommend your channel to people with intermediate level and up. Please please stay on RUclips ❤ ❤
谢谢！
太感谢了 ^^
this is an amazing channel. It’s still surprising you don’t have more subscribers. Some other chinese learning channels have 200k.
I think you guys are already successful at creating super quality content, so keep it up!
Thank you!
你们的内容对学习中文非常有帮助。每当我想学习其他语言时，我也会以“大叔中文”作为榜样。到目前为止，我几乎没有找到比你们频道更好的学习资源。希望你们继续努力，相信你们很快就能成为互联网上最好的中文学习频道和资源平台。
为了油管algorithm给呢名额评论。爱你们大叔！必须得继续
哇 太感谢了👍
加油！你们的内容精彩得很！羡慕你们那么认真！千万不要放弃！
谢谢你的鼓励!
我们都超爱你们🥰
认识大叔中文之前，我一直在找既有趣又收获满满的中文频道，但在油管里没找到满足我需求的。自从认识你们之后，我再也不用找其他频道了。看你们的频道的目的已经不是为了学习中文，而是因为我非常喜欢听你们的精彩故事。再次感谢大叔们，为我们付出了这么多的努力！
佳佳真的是我们的超级粉丝!
大叔老师们拜托你们不要放弃发视频哦！对中高级学生你们的材料十分丰富，你们讲得非常自然，你们不会特意用简单的词汇或减慢说话速度。你们视频难度肯定比大部分人喜欢的频道高得多，但是效率也高呀！辛苦了大叔老师们！
是啊。大叔中文这个频道太牛了！
你们已经很棒~❤
谢谢你的鼓励
感谢老师们提供这么好的内容
不客气!
大叔你們好，我剛開始看才看到5:00，但想留言一下，我發現其他比較紅的頻道，内容可能比較適合beginner，是不是因爲網路上大部分學中文的人都是beginner，不過我想如果想要提高中文水平提高到可以跟母語者很流利地溝通，多聽多看你們的頻道是一個很好的學習方法 加油💪
The sad truth is, for Chinese learning RUclips channels people only watch click bait videos like:"the best way to learn Chinese, hsk 5 in 1 week". And never actually learn Chinese.
The people who actually learn will search their prefered type of content to watch and improve vocabulary.
I just dont know of there's a big demand for this type of content, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy this type of content and think it is helping me improve.
Good luck I hope you guys reach what ever goals you have in 2025 ❤.
大叔们不要放弃哦，我很喜欢听您们的博客💞💞
好的 一起加油!
不同意不同意， 我觉得大叔就是男神！❤
哈哈 谢谢女神老师
加油大叔！你们是最棒的！
谢谢你的赞美
5:15 when I see your thumbnail what I think is, three really nice guys who are entertaining, smart, and driven. I always click in. I admire you guys.
老师们，你们太厉害！不能放弃！必须继续！加油！恭喜发财！！！
我承诺给每一个视频一个赞。
我每次有时间我来看你们的节目，但是我天天太忙了。你们很专业很整齐也你们三位老师都很帅。你们现在说的原因都不对，keep going forward. From Africa
老师们好！ 我不明白为什么你们这个大叔不红！ 我觉得没有那么你们说过的原因， 你们很好看还有真可爱😍内容非常有意思还有相当丰富👍你们加油吧😊
谢谢最支持我们的白兰!
I think your content is basically advanced Chinese .i discovered it in 2023 and i gues its the longest podcast i litsen to very interesting .... just planning to take my HSK 5 from 乌干达 。i really love the topics ..
谢谢你的支持，乌干达的朋友!
继续加油! 我会一直支持你们的平台！
谢谢你
the content you are making is very valuable, dont give up!
💖
滴水穿石，路遥知马力；时光筛人，细水长流者最可贵。你们用时间赢得了观众，而不是依靠一时的爆红。那些用心了解你们的人，会更加理解和忠诚，而不是那些追求一时热闹、随时准备挑剔的人。
I use your channel as a measure to track my understanding of the Chinese language and to set goals. Although I am still on my learning journey, standing at the foot of the mountain, I deeply appreciate channels like yours that offer authenticity and rich insights into diverse topics such as culture, people, and language.
加油，叔叔们！❤❤❤
说的特别好 路遥知马力 坚持是最重要的工夫
42:13 可以考虑作一个以比喻😊🎉为题目的博客
👍哈哈 真的可以考虑看看
Uncle Can is the master of metaphor! Forward into the dark night!
Yes , he is!! Happy Chinese New Year, Melisa! 😀
我们超爱你们的，千万不要放弃 ❤
谢谢你❤
Your channel is the best Chinese podcast that i have seen. Your contents are amazing, especially those videos with both english and chinese subtitles so that i can see the pinyin while reading english subtitles. Keep going and you will be very successful one day. Wishing you all the best ❤
谢谢你的赞美 大叔们很开心!
I am a beginner, but I listen to you anyway (with English subtitles😅),
because you are very funny, down to earth, 3 very unique characters, with unique styles, broadcasting from different locations. I especially love your episodes with guests, when they share their Chinese learning journey and life stories. I don’t need “special effects”, my only suggestion, though not a big issue - better video quality for Ben and Richard. I often watch you on my smart TV and their videos are a bit blurry. Oh, and I love your Dashu logo.
Hi Dashu, i knew your channel from my laoshi. I also one of your Patreon subscribers. You guys are awesome 🎉
Thank you so much for your support!👍
I don’t think you guys fail on this cuz i really like your content to be honest and for non native speakers who try to find comprehensive input content like me, I definitely love your content that it’s helpful. Keep going on it and thank you for creating amazing content like this❤❤
你们录的内容很有帮助的，我总是听你们，加油🎉
谢谢帅哥
5:46 i recently subscribed to the channel and i don't understand most of what's being said but I subscribed just for that reason. I try to listen without subtitles on but I go back and forth of turning cc on and off and rewinding the video. Literally did that for this comment 😅 yalls work is much appreciated. 加油！
谢谢你们！
😊👍🏻
加油! 你们的RUclips频道很有意思。我喜欢。我不是中文母语者，但是我觉得你们说得很清楚了，对学生很有用!
谢谢你👍
老师们好！我很感谢你们，你的频道又好玩又有趣！I got this channel recommendation after watching some videos from Richard 老师 several months ago. I subscribed immediately and since then I've watched many of your videos. Also discovered your other personal YT channels.
I feel is so refreshing to watch and listen to you, you add some variety to the YT Chinese learner's community.
Your content is great! very authentic and I hear more and more people talking about you. The only challenge I've come across is that sometimes the English subtitles seem out of sync in some videos. But maybe this problem was already fix, in this video it works just fine.
I hope you keep up the good work and still have fun while doing it 加油！
谢谢你 查叔表示很开心
大叔们，不要放弃了，你们一定越来越好了，粉丝越来越多了 ❤
谢谢你的鼓励
Nothing but the best.
谢谢帅哥
I love dashu mandarin! i think the topic that really made me hook mostly about politics and culture between Taiwan and China...
I also do really love live tour video in xian before, that also very interesting maybe teacher richard can give some live tour in taiwan too hehe
Haha, that's a good idea. I'd give it a try. 😁
❤ You guys are great. 👍🏼 Please don’t stop your channel.
I listen to your Spotify podcast driving home after work everyday . Not a native speaker, your conversations about life, culture and the beautiful Chinese language has helped elevate my vocabulary, conversational ability besides improving my pronunciation . Thank you Dashu for your efforts researching very interesting, informative podcasts for us. Wish you success achieving your subscription goal this year.
Ps: Will appreciate If there is a bilingual translation on Spotify.
继续继续！🙏🙏🙏
I think even if there are other resources for more advanced students, having content in mandarin on the "western" side of the internet is still a big advantage. I cannot make sense of bilibili and its culture for example, it's such an alien environment I'd rather stay on youtube. Even if I could understand the videos there. I'm also not really interested in Cdramas which eliminates a really big portion of Chinese media accesible to the west when it comes to my options. I enjoy the kind of laid-back content your podcast is though, I subscribed 👍
你们太棒了❤❤
希望你们继续
❤❤
大叔们一点都没失败。没有你们好多学生不会学会中文，至少我自己。谢谢你们加油
我们一起加油!!
大叔们好！支持你们！点赞了哈！👍 我觉得你们的话题很有趣， 而且你们聊天儿的内容不是每个人能勇敢地在社交媒体上分享。 甚至能听你们小时候，家庭的故事，大学的故事，每个人有自己的经验。而且你们三位也越来越了解彼此，虽然不默契哈😜
哈哈 真的 叔们都没有个人隐私了 😜
我也觉得你们的视频很好。 你们很帮助我学习😊👍🏻
大叔们很开心
我超爱你们的，千万不要放弃❤
放心 大叔们不会放弃的
您们的频道太棒了！！！请继续做视频！
❤谢谢
大叔你们这个节目真棒👍 今天第一次看到了 感觉挺不错的。 希望你们延续拍摄这节目。
谢谢你喜欢我们
中文是我的母語，我不知道如何安慰你們三個年輕人，對我的年齡而言你們是年輕人，要記得你們每一次的播客都會造福一小群的聽眾，而這一小群的聽眾裡其中一位就是我的忘年之交，美國人年僅17歲。是他推薦我從RUclips上面看大叔中文，從你們節目裡的談話內容可以作為我們聊天讓他學習中文的材料。請不要放棄這一小群的聽眾，在你們中文學習的列車上總有人下車，有人上車，只要記住有人從中受益才是最重要的！❤
One thing I think that would greatly improve all your videos are the dual 汉字and english subtitles. The pinyin is maybe not always the best for intermediate to advanced since naturally english speakers will gravitate towards pinyin and not learn as effectively the 汉字. However if every video has dual captions it will make them watchable by every intermediate speaker instead of only the advanced. If they are only English it makes learning the hanzi harder and if they are only hanzi it makes understanding every word harder as well, I think dual setting is perfect
Thanks!!
千万不要放弃！！！
我们会坚持下去的!
不要放弃😊
大叔们不会放弃的
大树中文老师们好。辛苦了你们✅✅✅✅。
👍 一起加油
我正常在Spotify听你们的博客，刚才发现还有你们的RUclips頻道！
欢迎来RUclips看我们的节目
I love watching your videos. I watch everyday. Keep it up! Hang in there! I only understand about 50%, sometimes less, but I am making progress and I love the fact that you give me an opportunity to experience normal speed day by day chinese.
但是大叔的直播课很好看，很有意思。
👍 谢谢月莹
大叔们你好！我先是想说我非常感谢你们所有的博客节目和学习资料。而且，我倒不觉得你们在油管方面“失败”了，因为虽然你们的观众或订阅者没有其它那么大，但是你们对非常多学生的影响已经伟大。我现在学了两年的中文了，觉得你们的博客节目完美的适合我的学习！我也常常会向我中文班里的朋友推荐你的视频。感谢你们！
谢谢Emily给我们这么高的评价!
(I didnt watch the ep yet) You guys are literally the most interesting podcast for learners out there! I dont know how you do it, but you are able to talk about a range of topics using simple vocab. Other podcasts directed at learners are usually very boring, they stick to typical "learning" topics. When Im listening to you, I feel like Im simply in on a conversation between friends.
Tbh i DID wonder before, why you dont have more followers here. I have no idea why!!
谢谢你支持大叔们！😊
说实话你们的博客非常好可是认真的关注和学习不是容易的事情要看每个人的动力和真正要求 一边可以被动地参加博客或者驱动的可是你们之间说话的时候需要很大的注意力要不然输入不会起作用 象以前说的除了听你们的谈话还要自己做出努力来背下来和联系每次的博客内容和常用话。
我覺得你們頻道太有用，學生看幾個月就可以開始看母語者的內容❤❤
谢谢你
好棒😊
👍👍
Love your channel and really hope you continue. a couple of more general comments for you. I tend to agree that you are operating at advanced level chinese and therefore you're competing against a huge amount of native content whose primary purpose is to entertain. I am not sure a huge subscriber base is realistic as most chinese learners are beginners and only a fraction of chinese learners progress to higher levels. another channel i follow is mandarin corner which has 200k followers, the content is also advanced, but it probably focuses on more 'popular' themes and puts in a lot of time on interviewing, sub-titles etc. I tend to prefer your videos with a fourth person. I find talking over one another while on the one hand is more natural form of conversation and lively, but makes understanding what is said super challenging. I originally found your channel through a recommendation from another channel - are you doing enough to promote yourselves on other channels/platforms especially related to language learning (steve kaufmann?). are you on other platforms insta/tiktok?
我赞同最后一点。 👆很多RUclipsrs之所以成功，是因为他们利用了其他有影响力的人。请其他Influencers采访你们，你们马上就会有更多的订阅者。
我们超爱你们的! 千万不要放弃! 🥰
谢谢你
三位老师, 加油 !!❤
谢谢你❤
