I have always thought it would be a good idea to have a weekly post where learners of all levels, heritage and native speakers can post the Chinese content they have been consuming this week in whatever form. If people also give an indication of their level as well it can act as a way for people to discover new content which may be suitable for them.

    Well, it’s almost the next weekend but I can add a little something here anyway.

    While randomly searching around on Youtube I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3hh5ySu3YI
    It’s basically a long, detailed description of a book called 狐狸的电话停. The summary/description is probably more advanced than the actual book (it’s a children’s book). I think this is a complete reading of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Be4WiPU-L0

    But oh man, from the description in the first video I don’t think my heart could take listening to the book itself. I didn’t dare to listen to more than a couple minutes.

    The good news though is that the same channel seems to have a lot of videos of the same lady reading books (children’s books, I presume). Here’s one that that won’t leave your heart battered and beaten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFjexEnqNeg (actually pretty funny!)

    I’ve been learning a little bit more than a year. Actually, I think it’s just a few days shy of 13 months currently. I’ve been teaching myself using online resources/mobile apps so probably someone reasonably dedicated (or who has been learning with a teacher for a shorter time?) could probably enjoy this content. What would you call this level, maybe early intermediate?
