Mr. Siao's Mandarin Class

The two official languages of multicultural Malaysia are Malay and English, but many other languages are spoken, including several Chinese and Indian dialects.

A Malaysian TV show called Mr. Siao's Mandarin Class provides a glimpse into Malaysian society and an idea of how these various cultures interact. The setting is a Mandarin language class, and the dialogue is a mixture of Chinese (Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka), English and Malay.

Mr. Siao's Mandarin Class is entertaining and educational, even if you don't understand all the dialog. You can see it on YouTube.
