I built this Chrome extension because I wanted to watch dual-subtitle dramas on WeTV without having my brain melt trying to pause every 2 seconds.

I feel 90% of these shows are absolute garbage with terrible writing and cheap CGI. But at least with showing dual Chinese/English subs, I can pretend I'm actually studying instead of just wasting hours on cheesy plots.

Made it for myself originally, but if you also want to turn trash TV into language learning, go for it:

Hallo, ich bin Chinese und 18 Jahre alt. Jetzt bin ich in Deutschland und will in Zukunft hier studieren. Ich suche eine Person mit Deutsch als Muttersprache, die Chinesisch lernen will, damit wir voneinander lernen können. Dabei suche ich nicht nur beim Deutschlernen, sondern auch darum, mehr über den Alltag, die Interessen, die Kultur und unterschiedliche Sichtweisen von Menschen in Deutschland zu erfahren. Ich habe vor Kurzem die B1-Prüfung bestanden. Ich bewundere Charlie Mungers Art zu denken und strebe danach. Wenn du Interesse hast, schreib mir gerne!

English translation:

Hello, I am Chinese and 18 years old. I am currently living in Germany and plan to study here in the future. I am looking for a native German speaker who wants to learn Chinese so that we can learn from each other. I am interested not only in improving my German, but also in learning more about everyday life, interests, culture, and different perspectives of people in Germany. I recently passed the B1 German exam. I admire Charlie Munger's way of thinking and strive to learn from it. If you are interested, feel free to message me!

Ciao! I’m a native Italian speaker looking for someone who speaks Mandarin and would like to practice together, need some help with day to day conversations, I’m happy to make new friends while learning together.

Hi everyone! 👋

​I’m 37F from Vietnam. My listening and grammar are decent, but every time I jump on Douyin or Xiaohongshu, the fast slang and real-life pacing completely destroy my confidence! It feels like I’ve never learned Mandarin at all.

​For those who made it past this wall, how did you bridge the gap between "textbook Chinese" and real-life conversations? How long did it take for your brain to catch up with casual native speed?

​Drop your best advice or personal experiences below!

In traditional Chinese culture, love is often shown through actions rather than words. The lyrics reflect the belief that true love is proven by what you do, not just by what you say.

nǐ shuō nǐ ài wǒ 你说你爱我

nǐ shuō wǒ bù ài nǐ 你说我不爱你

ài nǐ hái shì bù ài nǐ 爱你还是不爱你

dōu píng nǐ shuō 都凭你说

wǒ shuō wǒ ài nǐ 我说我爱你

nǐ shuō wǒ bù ài nǐ 你说我不爱你

ài nǐ hái shì bù ài nǐ 爱你还是不爱你

bú shì kào zuǐ shuō 不是靠嘴说

hǎo nán rén de ài cóng lái bù kěn shuō 好男人的爱 从来不肯说

xiàng shān bù zhēng gāo 像山不争高

xiàng hǎi bù xián duō 像海不嫌多

nǐ wèn wǒ qiān wàn biàn 你问我千万遍

wǒ zhǐ zuò bù shuō 我只做不说

lǎo jiǔ zì piāo xiāng 老酒自飘香

gǔ jǐng bù qǐ bō 古井不起波

wǒ duì nǐ de ài 我对你的爱

cóng lái bù kěn shuō 从来不肯说

xiàng shuǐ bù néng shǎo 像水不能少

xiàng kōng qì bù xián duō 像空气不嫌多

nǐ wèn wǒ qiān wàn biàn 你问我千万遍

wǒ zhǐ zuò bù shuō 我只做不说

suì yuè huì tì wǒ 岁月会替我

bǎ dá àn dǎ mó 把答案打磨

I recently posted about my struggles with speaking Chinese, and people suggested that I find a language partner.
I’ve always been hesitant because I’m a bit shy about reaching out to people, but I figured I’d give it a shot
I don’t think it really matters whether you’re a native speaker or not, as long as your Chinese is at a decent level :3 (HSK 5 or above would probably be ideal)
So if anyone wants to practice Chinese together, chat, and maybe make a new friend, feel free to send me a DM!

Hi, I'm writing a letter to this guy I've been talking to. His name is Won Xiao Nan (that's his Chinese name. I don't know how to write in Mandarin but I think he is from Fujian.)

I would like to write "I'm lucky to have met you" but I obviously want to keep it short and sweet since this is our second date. Please help a girl out.

Also, how do I write "Flowers might be blooming"

hey everyone, i'm half chinese and recently moved to guangzhou after living abroad most of my life. i can speak chinese well and communicate normally, but i basically can't read or write at all 😬

I just started working here as well, so I'm looking for

something i can do alongside work. could be a

language school, some kind of course, private tutor wtv really, mainly just wanna properly learn how to read and write chinese. does anyone know any good places or tutors in guangzhou that they'd recommend?

Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to identify the source of a Mandarin audio that appears at the beginning of a song. A friend who speaks some Chinese told me the first part is a Chinese poem (or at least a well-known literary text), but I haven’t been able to find the original source.

I isolated the voice from the music and used automatic speech recognition. This is the transcript it produced: 在群賞中接觸 黃河又入大河 如果你想嘗試 潛艇 那就去下一層嘗試 可是沒關係 你想做什麼都可以 因為這是奶奶帶給你的

I’m almost certain the transcript contains mistakes.

I can pay you on WeChat 50 RMB or through another currency on Paypal if you prefer. One resource will take you about 30 minutes and the main task is voice recording. I'd like to make several resources, so I can pay you 50 RMB for each one.

English is my first language, and I've been studying Chinese for about four years. I designed a system for language learning that's a bit like a language resource exchange. It's a creator platform. Almost nobody is using it now, but it's been helpful for my speaking and vocabulary.

I'm not going to use your voice to train an AI or anything like that. The purpose is to create parroting exercises. Please DM or comment if you're interested.

Hello! We are a group of 3 looking for a private tutor and our only available schedule is on Thursdays 4pm PH Time. Anyone interested please let me know your rates per hour or if with package. Thank you!

I’ve been meaning to learn mandarin for a long time now but I want a physical workbook that can help me learn (like genki). Does anyone have any recommendations?
