Pinyin Cinema: Learn Chinese from watching movies with Pinyin subtitles

A few months ago I made a website for Chinese language learners. The idea is that the user can practice their Chinese through watching movies. All the films on the site have Traditional/Simplified character subtitles, as well as Pinyin subtitles, which is the main selling point since it is very difficult to find Pinyin subtitles for Chinese films elsewhere on the internet. Every movie has learning games to go along with it, so you can review words used in the films. All users can, once per month…

I haven’t tried it, but just remember a Formosa has offered something.
