[quote=Anonymous]You're very welcome. Also, "Mandarin Cartoon" or "Mandarin Kids Movies" searches on YouTube are a great resource, e.g. Peppa Pig, Mickey Mouse Club and Thomas the Train for the younger set, Harry Potter, Disney and Pixar etc. for the older. The kids will invariably complain that they can't understand all the Mandarin, but don't give in. The more they hear, the more they're understand and repeat. If you give them the "out" of English kids entertainment, they'll take it almost every time, so don't unless it's a special occasion (you can watch Star Wars in English with Dad tonight because it's his birthday). Also, with Mandarin dubbed DVDs, there's usually an English subtitles option so parents who don't understand the Mandarin can enjoy watching simultaneously. Some Chinese is always better than none, so don't worry too much if the kids reads some of the English subtitles you're reading. Good luck. [/quote]
