You probably know that music is a powerful language learning tool, but\u00a0languages like Chinese are especially well suited to be taught using music<\/a> because pronouncing their words and phrases correctly involves\u00a0understanding the various pitches and tones. <\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why I have put together this handy list of websires where you can download (and sometimes even stream) millions of songs in Chinese<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[fluentu-toc]
\n<\/p>\n

1. BuddhaNet<\/a>\"Buddha<\/a><\/h2>\n

BuddhaNet is a site where the music featured helps listeners focus, meditate or even just find inner peace to help better themselves in anything that they’re trying to do. Many of these songs do not contain any real lyrics, so you might be wondering how this site can even help you with your language learning. After all, the whole idea of learning languages with music is to listen to natives sing while following along to their lyrics and practice speaking them right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Not necessarily. And here’s why.<\/p>\n

Foreign language immersion isn\u2019t just about listening and speaking. To master learning any\u00a0language requires taking the time and effort to actually study which does, in fact, require picking up books and reading every now and then<\/a>. This genre of Buddhist music can be very advantageous to people who have trouble doing this. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to surrounding\u00a0yourself in a more calming and relaxing environment\u00a0to help you get some serious studying done, many of the songs featured on this site actually do have words that you can sing (or rather chant) along to. This is definitely a win-win for those of you who\u00a0want to learn how to speak Chinese<\/a>\u2014even if the songs don’t have people speaking in them all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

To sum it up, this special website has a lot to offer,\u00a0and all of the songs are available to download too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Song to check out:<\/strong> \u201cMan with Love\u201d by Daniel Yeo<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n

2. Kugou<\/a>\"Kugou<\/a><\/h2>\n

Ever wanted to listen to high-quality Chinese music on a trustworthy site? Although\u00a0this site is a little hard to navigate and the search engine isn’t the greatest,\u00a0once\u00a0you get the hang of it\u00a0Kugou\u00a0can be very useful to growing your collection of Chinese music.<\/p>\n

Know what\u2019s also cool about Kugou? You can watch live musical performances by rookies and famous singers alike in HD through their partner site, Fanxing<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Song to check out:<\/strong> \u201cWhat Kind of Man – \u7b97\u4ec0\u9ebc\u7537\u4eba” (su\u00e0n sh\u00e9n me n\u00e1n r\u00e9n)<\/em>\u00a0by Jay Chou\u00a0\u5468\u6770\u502b (zh\u014du ji\u00e9 l\u00fan)<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Ihonhon<\/a>\"iHonHon<\/a><\/h2>\n

While this site may not be the most exciting visually, there are many advantages to using Ihonhon, or at least keeping the home page bookmarked. <\/span><\/p>\n

For one, the site is very easy to navigate. Also, if your Chinese reading skills aren\u2019t that fantastic (yet), but you can read English just fine, then you\u2019re in luck as everything is in English.<\/span><\/p>\n

Song to check out:<\/strong> \u201cLet It Go” (Chinese Version) – \u96a8\u5b83\u5427”\u00a0(su\u00ed t\u0101 ba)<\/em> by Bella Yao\u00a0\u59da\u8c9d\u5a1c (y\u00e1o b\u00e8i n\u00e0<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n

4. 5ND<\/a>\"5nd<\/a><\/h2>\n

Among the various sites featured on this list, 5ND is one of the most popular. Not only are all of the songs available for download copyrighted, but the downloading process is quick and painless. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you click on a song that interests you, the song will play, but then there is another button that allows you to just download it to your computer or other media device. Pretty simple, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Song to check out:<\/strong> \u201cFairytale – \u7ae5\u8a71” (t\u00f3ng hu\u00e0)<\/em> by Michael Wong<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n

5. 9Sky<\/a>\"9sky-logo\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Now this site is all about music! 9Sky is heavily similar to other Chinese music sites, but what\u2019s really cool about it is that it has songs from decades ago as well as the most current tunes. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more is that many of the songs also come with lyrics and information about the song\u2019s artists. The site\u2019s layout is really eye appealing as well. The font is large and the pages aren\u2019t too cluttered to the point of making newcomers to the site feel overwhelmed. <\/span><\/p>\n

The only possible downside to this site is that users must first register before they\u2019re able to download any content, but fortunately, registration is free.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Little<\/a>6. Little Dragon Tales<\/a><\/h2>\n

Learning Chinese through children’s songs<\/a> can be very beneficial to your studies. Because these songs are geared towards kids (who are naturally already language learning pros) to teach\u00a0them how to speak Chinese using simple words, repetition and immersion, Little Dragon Tales\u00a0can be a great resource for adult learners too.<\/span><\/p>\n

While you can’t directly download any song tracks from their site, you can view the track titles and follow the links\u00a0to download their album through iTunes and Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Song to check out:<\/strong> \u201cCongratulations – \u795d\u8d3a” (zh\u00f9 h\u00e8)<\/em> by The Shanghai Restoration Project<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n

7. Mama Lisa<\/a>\"Mama<\/a><\/h2>\n

Mama Lisa is similar to Little Dragon Tales in terms of the type of Chinese songs with lyrics available for download, but it’s unique in that you can\u00a0learn how to sing children’s songs in other foreign languages as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The site will allow you to pick songs from any country on any continent, so it would be wise to keep this site handy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Song Example:<\/strong> \u201cA Little School Boy – \u8bfb\u4e66\u90ce” (d\u00fa sh\u016b l\u00e1ng<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus Sites for Chinese Songs:<\/h2>\n

Sing Chinese Songs<\/a><\/h3>\n

Like the name of the website suggests, Sing Chinese Songs is where viewers can listen to (and if they\u2019re up for it, sing along to) Chinese songs. If you’d rather\u00a0just stream songs instead of having to download each and every one, then bookmark this site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes downloading things from the Internet (especially for free) can lead to trouble, so Sing Chinese Songs is great for when you just want to sing along to some Chinese tunes without having to worry about whether or not what you’re downloading is actually legal or if what you’re downloading is real or fake, some of which could even lead to viruses. (Don’t worry about the sites featured on this list though, as they are all completely safe and legit.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Song to check out:<\/strong> \u201cLonging – \u6e34\u671b” (k\u0115 w\u00e0ng)<\/em>\u00a0by Mao A Min\u00a0\u6bdb\u963f\u654f (m\u00e1o \u0101 m\u012dn)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

am1430<\/a>\"Fairchild<\/a><\/h3>\n

This site is unlike any other on this list. <\/span><\/p>\n

am1430.com is the main site of the Chinese radio network program founded in Canada, which contains actual Chinese radio stations that stream songs consistently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, you cannot download any music from this site. However, you can definitely use\u00a0am1430 to expose yourself to various songs that you probably wouldn’t have found otherwise, and then use the sites listed above to find them and download. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chances are, you’ll find what you’re looking for with at least one of them!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re interested,\u00a0here’s a schedule<\/a> of the radio shows featured on this site.<\/p>\n

And, if you want to go even further, websites like these aren’t the only way to immerse yourself in Chinese music.<\/p>\n

YouTube is a great place to find Chinese music in a variety of different styles and genres. Playlists like this one<\/a> can be a good way to find songs that you’ll enjoy, and that will help you to practice your listening skills.<\/p>\n
