MyMandarin Cinema: Learn Mandarin from Chinese Shows & Movies

Dual Chinese subtitles, pinyin, instant word lookup, and an AI tutor for Netflix. Vocab syncs to MyMandarin for spaced review.

Turn every Netflix C-drama, film, or documentary into a Mandarin lesson — without pausing, dictionary-hopping, or breaking immersion. MyMandarin Cinema watches Netflix with you. It cleans up Chinese subtitles, layers in pinyin, lets you tap any word for an instant definition with example sentences, and brings an AI tutor on-screen for grammar questions the moment a tricky line appears. Save the words you don't know with one click — they sync straight to your MyMandarin account, so what you learn while watching becomes long-term retention through spaced repetition on the web and mobile app. 🎬 Built for Mandarin Learners Most subtitle tools were designed for European languages and bolted onto Chinese. MyMandarin Cinema is the opposite: Chinese-first, with native support for simplified and traditional characters, HSK level awareness, and tone-aware pinyin alignment that actually lines up with the characters above it. 🔑 Features Dual Subtitles + Pinyin Three-line display: Chinese characters, pinyin, and English translation — perfectly aligned, never crowded. Toggle pinyin on or off per session. Switch between simplified and traditional characters. One-Tap Word Lookup Click any character or word in the subtitles to get pinyin, definition, HSK level, and example sentences pulled from the same scene context — without leaving the player. AI Tutor: Grammar, Vocab, Translations and more Ask anything about the current line. "Why is 既然 used here?" "What's the difference between 都 and 也?" The tutor answers using the line you're watching as context, so explanations are concrete instead of abstract. Save to Your Garden Tap save on any word and it lands in your personal MyMandarin vocabulary — categorized by source show, with the original sentence saved alongside it for context-rich review. Spaced Repetition That Lasts Saved words automatically enter MyMandarin's SRS (spaced repetition system) on the web and mobile apps. The words you encountered while binging on Sunday show up as flashcards on Monday — and again at the perfect interval to actually remember them. Synchronized Across Devices Sign in once.
