join me to make English video on hot words?

[Bibu]

Anyone would like to join me to make videos ? this video is for Mandarin learners, supposed to be a weekly video , introduce 1 or 2 hot mandarin words/phrases that surfaces in recent weeks.

 

Partners would be doing planning, shooting video(a good mobile phone or webcam is must to have), post-production of the clips.

 

Here is a very draft version you can check of, and leave your message if like to join , only comment is welcome either.

3rd try,  thinking about change to bi-weekly seriously now.

There are already so many videos, podcasts and blogs that address this content. I do not recommend pursuing this content.

I don't wish to be discouraging but it seems a lot of work for no reward.

If there is a hot word I wouldn't watch a 10 min pod cast. All I would want is 10seconds to look at the word and example sentences. If I think it's useful I just put that into my flashcard system 

 

Also I don't think it's useful actively searching for these words. It's better to come across then naturally, in wechat conversions, web blogs,  forums, conversations etc then check the meaning . The frequency (and widespread usage) of them appearing, means by definition they are "hot words". Further a word might be just used by a particular age group or particular sex  thus making them inappropriate for someone who doesn't fit into that category to use. Same with English. It sounds cringy when a Chinese person  uses black American slang.

good point, if i am repeating others, better stop it now. I would look around other's and have a 2nd thought.

A bit discouraging .Anyhow, many thanks.

 

The video is for others, as well as for myself. It looks the audiance is quite small, myabe myself only. I will think again. Thanks..

Run this as a Twitter / Weibo thing. Post about new vocab as you notice it, with an explanation and a link to actual usage. Far quicker, far easier to consume.

Its only one opinion though, don't let that put you off! Many people might like these type of podcast.i should add that I don't like ANY podcast across many disciplines so I might be an outlier in my opinions

Make a lot of  sense, but writing is not my cup of tea. Thanks!

Thanks pal,  I am not so easily affected,  I am still good so far, LOL.  Your input  sounds not so good , but I know it is the best remedy, 苦口良药.  Comments is always warmly welcomed. BTW, the hot words video turns out to be a bit difficult for me,  from choosing the topic, how to interpret etc., so maybe you are correct.
