7 Chinese channels made for learners, measured
Ranked by median difficulty, easiest first. The bar is a range, not a label — a channel typically spans a wide stretch of the scale, so one level would be false for its own hardest videos.

6 of these 7 channels carry the same vocabulary band (HSK2-HSK3), and their scores still run from 0 to 47. That gap is pace: what separates the easiest of these channels from the hardest is how fast people talk, not which words they use. How that is measured →

Chinese native content is still thin here (2 categories), so there is nothing meaningful to filter between yet — the learner channels above are the whole picture for now.
