Mingbai: Learn Chinese from Netflix, YouTube, iQIYI & Viki subtitles

A Mandarin teacher that watches with you: intelligent phrase parsing of every subtitle line, then a lesson from each episode.

A personalised Mandarin teacher that watches with you. Learn Chinese from the C-dramas, films, variety shows and videos you already love, on Netflix, YouTube, iQIYI, Viki and Bilibili. As you watch, Míngbai points out the words, phrases and grammar worth knowing. After the episode, it teaches you from it, pitched at your level, and brings back what you forget. YOU KNOW THE WORDS. YOU STILL LOSE THE LINE. Dictionary extensions wait for you to click, one word at a time. But the hard part of a line is often a phrase you didn't realise was a phrase, so you never look it up. Míngbai reads the line the way it's said. Its intelligent phrase parsing groups every subtitle line into the phrases people actually say, each with pinyin and a meaning: 我昨天晚上没睡好 Word by word: 我 I · 昨天 yesterday · 晚上 evening · 没 not · 睡 sleep · 好 good Míngbai: 我 I · 昨天晚上 last night · 没睡好 didn't sleep well HOW MÍNGBAI TEACHES YOU 1. Listen. As an episode starts, Míngbai picks up to three things coming up in it, so you know what to listen out for. 2. Notice. As each line plays, the phrases and patterns worth knowing are already marked. No stopping to look things up. 3. Ask. Click any phrase to see what it means in this line, how it's built and how it's used, and hear it spoken. Still curious? Ask about the scene, and AI answers from the lines you've already seen. 4. Recap and lesson. When the episode ends, see where those things came up in the show's own lines, then take a short lesson built from them. It starts at the level you choose and adjusts as you go. 5. Review. What you save comes back in Study on learnmingbai.com, with the line it came from and a link back to that moment in the episode. Reviews are scheduled with FSRS, the spaced-repetition method modern Anki uses, so words return just before you'd forget them. Every step feeds what Míngbai knows about you, and that shapes your next lesson. FOR EVERY KIND OF LEARNER • New to Chinese?
