I really really like the fact that the videos are real authentic videos. It makes it much more interesting. Learning Chinese almost becomes an afterthought to the fact that you are watching cool videos.Niel, Confused Laowai

While many videos come with subtitles, there was never an easy way to look up vocabulary words, or pause the video and make sure you really understood what was being said... that is until now. FluentU understands our pain, and picks up the pieces where all those other sites fall short.Jacob Gill, iLearnMandarinWhile many videos come with subtitles, there was never an easy way to look up vocabulary words, or pause the video and make sure you really understood what was being said... that is until now.

Our quiz teaches you using videos from the real world.
The rich, engaging experiences will naturally help you remember and master new vocabulary.
The quiz sections are the most successful I've seen to integrate spaced learning of vocab, and not be bored out of your mind. The power of seeing an actor speak, hearing their pronunciation, and linking it to the Chinese character re-enforces learning. It is challenging and makes you think about how the Chinese language works.Keith Robinson

"I just love, love, love, FluentU... language learning works best with realistic cultural immersion and timed repetition. You succeed in these two domains where rosetta stone and other software fail, thanks to the use of videos. Video is a brilliant idea since it simulates real life, contrary to picture... But this is not the real reason ... Continue Reading I love you guys. The real reason is that it works... in only 2 days, I can already produce my own sentences from scratch and ask questions, both in oral and pinyin... it has never happened before, even during my youth of learning in intensive classes..."Alex Gartner, entrepreneur
"When I learn a lesson, day after day, the words recede into memory. When I watch a video on Fluentu, I am often tired after work, the action of this video then remains better in mind than the vocabulary itself. And it is the recollection of the action which helps me one or two days later find back the new words more easily, because ... Continue Reading those words are linked to the action. Moreover, lesson after lesson, this process grows stronger."Joseph Alessandro Mati
