Watching an American teach English to Mandarin Speakers
I ran across this story "http://shine.yahoo.com/dailyshot/why-chinese-teens-love-this-woman-152009557.h tml?vp=1" about an American girl, "Jessica Beinecke", who gained fame on her youtube channel "http://www.youtube.com/user/OMGmeiyu" by teaching common English phrases and slang to Mandarin speakers in China. She speaks a lot of Mandarin in the videos (and seemingly fluently), and all of her phrases are spoken slowly in Chinese and English; it seems that watching these videos could be a fun way to progress our Chinese beyond Fluenz Mandarin 3, at least for listening and conversational practice.
