Chinese Movies

Which of these Chinese Movies have you seen?

Watching Chinese movies is a great way to relax if you’re learning the language. It’s also a great way to get more in tune with Chinese culture, and get into the rhythm of the language.

BUT, it isn’t the most effective way to learn Chinese..

Chinese films can also be really hard to understand. The dialogue is often really fast, and there is often a mix of different accents and a lot of slang that beginners wouldn’t normally learn.

I found them really tough to understand for a long time, because the situations in films are usually pretty different from what you would encounter in everyday life, and when you are actually having a conversation with somebody, you have a lot more context and the other person will probably try to help you understand.

If you’re a beginner in Chinese, it’s best not to use films as a benchmark for your language skills, and above all, don’t get put off!

Watching Chinese films also gives you the opportunity to learn ‘more authentic’ language than you will find in a textbook.

Here I’m giving you a really varied list of Mandarin films, containing a mixture of comedy, action and historical dramas, mostly from the 90s, 00s and films from the last few years. None of these films are really long epics or ‘art-house cinema’.
