Why study mandarin from Chinese cartoons?
One of the best ways to improve your Chinese is to watch cartoons in mandarin. Although the cartoons we have chosen are made for native speakers, the audience are generally very young. Therefore, the grammar and word choice is generally not overly sophisticated and is also suitable for non-native mandarin learners. However, these cartoons are usually colourful and entertaining – a nice break from dry textbooks.
Fortunately there are plenty to watch and enjoy for free in mandarin. However, it is difficult to find videos with a good English translation in the subtitles options. Therefore on these pages we have endeavored to provide some great cartoon recommendations to suit all levels of learning. Alongside each video there is a full translation in English, as well as a Mandarin Chinese transcript, this is the ideal place to find Chinese cartoons for learning Chinese.
