Learn Chinese with Disney's Mulan. Speak Mandarin Chinese authentically - HSK Listening

Those familiar with the story of Mulan will know that although she encountered various difficulties in the army, she never gave up; even when her companions discovered she was a girl. After watching Disney's retelling of the story most people are left with a deep respect for Mulan. However, truthfully Mulan is only one heroine, from the many (both real and fictional) who have defended and shaped China throughout its long history. Why then is Mulan's story so popular and enduring, and what are the key reasons why Mulan's story continues to be passed down from generation to generation in China?
By watching this video we will help to explain the story's popularity based on its strong focus on exploring traditional Chinese moral and cultural concepts. For example the interplay between the nation and the individual, the individual and the team, the old and the young and the role of women in society. These ideas and concepts are at the heart of Chinese social and family ethics.
However this video is not just about cultural instruction, it will help you quickly, and practically, improve the authenticity and fluency of your spoken Mandarin. So let's listen to the dialogue between Mulan and Mushu as we learn to use vivid and emotional expressions, idioms and the precise use of language/vocabulary to express our true feelings.

Awesome. Would love to see pinyin subtitles rather than English

[@DiarioJagiya123]

I saw English, mandarin Chinese subtitles also (characters and pinyin)

[@lindaquap4730]

I agree

[@readjordan2257]

Bopomo is more useful, or just the regular written form.

老师，您的课很中用。谢谢！虽然我学习了中文差不多十年了，我还不能有时候懂我的外婆。我知道，不好意思。 我有社交恐惧症和可能独孤病。所以如果没有人帮我break down sentences into parts that aren’t too technical, 我就对学语言有怕的。 我喜欢您的课因为课很简单。所以什么人，包括我，可以学中文。谢谢再一次！

If you have Disney+ you can set the audio to Chinese (中文) or Chinese（普通话), both are Mandarin but the former is from Taiwan and the latter is from mainland China

The video contains several inaccuracies. Firstly, Mulan was of Turkic origin and therefore would not have spoken any Sinitic languages. Secondly, during Mulan's time, simplified communist characters did not exist. Therefore, even if Mulan spoke and wrote in sinograms, she would not have used this type of incorrect script. During the time of Mulan, people in Northern Asia spoke Middle Chinese rather than Modern Mandarin.

[@katyb2793]

I believe it's Disney you should complain to 😂

[@wetot2]

And on the other side, the Mongolic people insist that Mulan was from Proto Mongol Xianbei origin. It was during Northern Wei Xianbei Tuoba’s dynasty

[@xyeB]

Mongolic isn’t Turkic

[@edmundleung2098]

There is no such thing as speaking Chinese. You can say speak Manderine, Cantonese, Fujain or Mongolian or Uyghurs or whatever. It is like saying, people speak in Americano in USA. Americans don't mind if the language they speak refers to another country "English". That's the truth.
