Practice Chinese through YouTube It's a known fact that YouTube can be quite helpful for learners all around the world, it's a great resource, but sometimes things are quite hard to find, that's why I have gathered some of my favorite YouTubers to share with all of you, some of them will be study and others will be to get immerse in the Chinese language.

Where can you find Manhuas? So there are a lot of different places where you can find them, for example if you want a physical copy you can find some on Amazon, but there's not a lot of variety, so the best options will be to read them online: there are some platforms that you can use for example: bilibili 漫画  or Webtoon , these two are both web platforms and Apps, so you can use them in the format that you prefer.  They are both free and quite easy to use, they quite similar, but the content in each one is quite different, another thing that is...
