Hey, sorry for not responding in a while. Youtube's still blocked in china and proxies are way to slow to bother.

Lots of great ideas, i plan to follow through.

I watched 爱情麻辣烫, you're right it'd be easier 2 learn from this movie and there are some funny parts2

Im working on an experimental product rite now and I plan 2 throw it up on mochinamochina soon - similar idea, but with transcript, 2 dvds, vocab, and a huge ch learning toolkit ;)

[mochinaman]

you mean they talk quickly and sometimes they mumble, I'm assuming. Other than that, the subtitles should explain most of it. And if you can read pinyin then you should be able to pronounce all of it too.

This scene definitely has more difficult language than the other scenes.

To clearly view the chinese characters, you might want to click "watch in high quality" - makes a big difference.

Hey, thanks a lot for uploading this. Did you do the subtitling yourself?

I've been looking for Mandarin dialect movies with pinyin, for studying, but until not -- no luck. I have a 200+ dvds from China, but not surprisingly, none have pinyin subtitles.

This is a great way to passively studying language.. the educational videos get so boring.

Hey, yeah I did all the subtitling myself, pretty much. I found the english and chinese subtitles on the net, then did the pinyin and word-for-word on my own. I'm thinking of doing more movies/shows/commercials but it takes a while to do and it's hard to monetize due to copyright infringements...

[DemonTaoist]

The emperor and the assassin might be a little more beginner-friendly. It seems like very deliberately in that movie. But it might be some kind of formal, archaic dialect, i dunno.

[dittonamed]

thank you for doing this. if you do more, consider a tv show or something funny

[giatire]

good job man. have you seen the movie 爱情麻辣烫? you can try to make it in the way you made this one. that movie is good for learning chinese too. and it's easier.

[crock703]

Good luck if you end up doing more of this. I'll keep an eye out.

[crock703]

Shit, the comment I wrote disappeared.

Anyway, this is great. The 4 subtitles thing is perfect. I wonder if there are some old Kung Fu or other movies worth watching that are in the public domain -- prob all in Canton tho w/ HK's early start in movies.

Maybe you could put something on TuDou or YouKu, where they ignore copyright. If I were a Chinese director w/ a catalog, I'd pinyin & upload all my old hits to build a massive Western audience.

so hard to understand......
