In this video, Skritter CEO Jake, shows us a real time study session of how he uses YouTube to study Mandarin. In this video specifically, he makes use of the Chrome extension "Language Reactor" and watches along to a recent Skritter video, teaching slang, entirely in Mandarin Chinese.

Here are some of Jake's study tips for getting the most out of videos on YouTube:

1. Find content in your target language that interests you, which also has captions.
2. Turn subtitles off first and listen along.
3. Use a plugin like Language Reactor to make use of the captions - you can then select by level or frequency
4. Mimic and practice sentences from the video
5. Note reduplication in speech. How are the speakers reacting to each other?
6. Native speech is great to mine for frequently used sentence structures
