We are a small and local Mandarin institution with few teachers and staffs. Although our channel has more views and subscribers now, we earn nothing (Earnings go to record companies, the owner of the song). Currently we cannot afford to hire more staff to do Youtube contents.

If you can suggest a song or provide the lyrics, that would be super helpful. We will be able to publish more videos and more often.

We do not openly express that we accept song suggestions, simply because we feel bad if we are unable to fulfil them. We want the song to be helpful for Mandarin learners, so we choose the song carefully.

We want the song to have a clear and slow voice. We want our students to learn more vocabularies, so we prefer not to put too many songs about romance. Some of our students have no idea about Mandarin songs, so we want to introduce songs that are popular in China.

You might need to look harder. Search Youtube or Spotify with keywords like “Top Mandarin Song” or “Popular Chinese Song”. Another interesting keyword to try is “Tiktok Song 抖音歌曲“.

If you still can’t find a Mandarin song that you like, no need to panic, there are other hobbies that can improve your Mandarin. Check out Chinese movies, TV drama, or even video games.

We put the English lyric on our website so that we can improve the translation, then add vocabularies and learning points in the future.

The lyric video is optimized for a sing-along during the class, and English lyric is not necessary for that. Adding English lyric into the videos will only make the screen more crowded.

We could have added the English lyric as CC (Closed Caption). However, setting it up requires a lot of work and we are currently understaffed. If you can help us with it, please let us know at [email protected].

We literally cannot. The songs are copyrighted by the singer and record companies. Most companies chose to monetize their songs, and that includes other creator’s videos that use it.

When you watch ads on our lyric videos, you actually support the singer. If the ads really bothering you, you might want to get AdBlock or Youtube Premium.
