About DailyEnglish Marathon
Learn Chinese from today’s English news.
DailyEnglish Marathon (Chinese name: 英语马拉松) is a daily YouTube series for Chinese learners of English: one episode a day (a weekly recap on Saturdays), six high-frequency words each from that day’s English news, each explained in context. This English interface flips it around for English speakers learning Chinese — the English word and sentence are what you already know; the Chinese equivalent, meaning and example sentence (all with pinyin above the characters) are what you’re here to learn. Every story and every word has its own page, so you can come back, search and review.

Join the channel membershipData and sources
News quotations are attributed to their original news sources with dates. The background notes aresummaries and explanations, never a substitute for the original reporting — follow the source link under each example to read the full story.
The site receives approved news batches, words and episodes from the upstream WordDay pipeline. News content goes through AI-assisted drafting, automated cross-checks, and content and illustration review gates. Editors may review and correct material during the review window; automatic release when that window expires is recorded upstream. Video production follows later; website publication does not depend on a completed video.
Learning topics and usage notes
Supplemental notes and topics use AI-assisted drafting and independent AI language review, with automated checks for format, links and word references. Changes are tracked in version history, and usage references are provided for further checking.
Sentences labeled “Original teaching example (not a news quotation)” are written to explain usage, not to report events. Usage references are separate from news sources. Supplemental notes remain in Chinese without pinyin; topic pages are available in Chinese only.
