This thread is for any interesting websites that could be of use to Chinese learners at any level. Feel free to share any Chinese sites you find interesting. Websites that are for native speakers of Chinese are recommended. This thread will be a bit disorderly for a bit, but once there's enough links to be put into manageable categories, things will hopefully be more accessible.
Youku 优酷Tudou 土豆You can watch entire Chinese series or movies on these websites.
ncikuAn okay online dictionary. A bit painful to navigate.
Douban 豆瓣Site for reviewing books, movies, TV shows, and music. There's also
Douban FM for listening to music. (I think) it's mostly independent music, which is good if you ever want to listen to some modern Chinese music, but are tired of pop music. It occasionally plays foreign (i.e. not Chinese) music.
Baidu 百度Chinese search engine, pretty similar to Google. It also has an online encyclopedia
(Baidu Baike 百度百科) that is reminiscent of
Chinese Wikipedia.
A note about Chinese Wikipedia, if you want to make it so that it displays only either Simplified or Traditional, instead of its usual messy mixture, hover over what says 不转换 on the top-left, and then select your preferred style. Keep in mind you'll have to do this for every article.Renren 人人A Mainland clone of Facebook. Tell your Chinese friends to add you on Renren, and they'll be impressed!
Chinese-forums.comGreat forum for learning about all things Chinese.
