10 Live Action Movies Available in Mandarin on Disney+
One effective method of increasing exposure to Mandarin, either for yourself or for children, is through movies. It's worth noting that Disney+ has several films available with Mandarin Chinese audio dubbing. Simply switch the audio language to access them!
How to switch your audio and change your subtitles on Disney+:
- Start the movie you want to watch.
- In the first few seconds of the video, click on the Language button which can be found at the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Select ‘Mandarin’ or ‘Taiwanese Mandarin’ for audio.
- Select your caption language (optional). I like to choose English so that I can learn along with the audio.
