Really?
For me seeing a good Chinese movie in Spanish (and even though the dubbing is good) does not work. It just cuts the magic of the film.
Watching a good movie is a great way to travel, to discover other cultures… (Especially with Chinese films!).
And to go back to your comment: It is true that you might not learn a lot of words (because it is such a complex language!), but between you and me… after seing several Chinese movies, I know how to say “yes”. (But don’t ask me how to spell it!)
So Jordi, if you really like Chinese movie, life must be difficult for you because they usually are screened in original version in the city, aren’t they?

You might be right in general lines but I’m sorry, watching a Chinese movie in original version doesn’t make me learn any Chinese at all and it makes me get headache!

And have you ever tried to see Bruce Willis in French? Schwarzenegger in Catalan?
Jokes apart, you are right, it is defitinitely the best way to learn new words, slang words and without making efforts…

The first time I heard Joey from Friends speaking Spanish I also thought it was a bit weird… I enjoy subtitles, makes me concentrate on learning new words as I watch movies…
