Nikola Hoskova Posted March 31, 2015 at 06:21 AM Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 at 06:21 AM Hey guys, I suppose that my problem has probably been mentioned here, but, anyway - could anyone recommend me any program to watch Chinese TV? I would like to watch Chinese news on daily basis, but the TV's website's 直播 does not seem to work very often. Thanks in advance for any help.

ceciliamiao Posted March 31, 2015 at 09:03 AM Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 at 09:03 AM Are you in China? Are you trying to get news on TV or on the TV's websites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea? Thanks for your reaction anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceciliamiao Posted March 31, 2015 at 09:33 AM Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 at 09:33 AM I think there are many ways for you to keep up with your Chinese. Check out http://news.letv.com/ I watch a lot of shows and movies on LeTV in general. All mainstream Chinese video sites have mostly entertainment stuff and some news videos. I don't know if Czech IP addresses are blocked from these videos. If yes, you can find an add-on called "unblock youku" or something like that. It'll unblock the Chinese video sites for you. Weibo and WeChat can also serve as also good sources of quick news. A lot of news outlets have Weibo and WeChat accounts that are updated daily. Hope it helps.

xuexiansheng Posted March 31, 2015 at 03:12 PM Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 at 03:12 PM Other users have done some guides to watching a Chinese program called 鏘鏘三人行。They are all interesting discussions of current topics, I've found them very helpful. Here is the link for the episodes covered so far: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/42490-qqsrx-list-of-episodes/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicawang Posted April 2, 2015 at 03:07 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 at 03:07 AM And I recommend "北京爱情故事"，It's a very popular Chinese Tv series through which you can practice your listening. You can search it on youtube.com by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
偉爾豆仁 Posted April 2, 2015 at 04:28 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 at 04:28 AM One of the best resources I know of is sugoideas.com . The source material is mostly from Taiwan, but there's A LOT of it, mostly talk shows and short dramas. For a news based program, I would suggest 新聞挖挖哇. 康熙來了 is a mostly comedy-based talk show and is extremely popular both on the Mainland and in Taiwan. I know the sound effects are off putting at first, but stick with it! You really don't notice them after a while and they have some really relevant cultural topics sometimes (one I recall was about teenage mothers in Taiwan and all the hardships they have to deal with). I always go for the sillier dramas if I'm gonna watch them. 蜂蜜幸運草 is probably my favorite that I've seen, very over-the-top humor, good characters and real-life issues are all present. My favorite Mainland TV show is 愛情公寓, essentially a Chinese version of "Friends." It's really pretty funny (especially after the first episode). Also, if anime is your thing, most animes aimed at teens or younger have been dubbed. Cardcaptor Sakura (百变少女 or 魔卡好女嬰), Dragon Ball (龍珠), and Detective Conan (名偵探柯南) at have at least one dub. I hope you find something you like! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
