Any good sources/books etc. to help learning Chinese?
Hello
I’ve recently started a Chinese language course at university (along with History) and would love to find out if anyone knows of some good websites or software (etc.) which would help with learning aspects of the Chinese (Mandarin) language – i.e. characters, vocab etc.
Thanks

It’s a paid for service but they give free trials and samples and it is really good. There’s loads of good stuff online and loads of free stuff.
Also, www.ted.com has lots of videos in English with transcripts in Chinese and youtube has lots of Chinese songs online with Chinese subtitles and some of them have translations into English as well. There are also lots of Chinese teaching videos on youtube.
