Hey, does anyone know where I can download or watch these series with English subtitles? Or other recommended cartoons to learn Mandarin?

 

I can only find half a dozen on Youtube..but there are 1000+ episodes, is there a better source with many of them?

 

Thank you. :)

For the first title in your subject line, look it up in English using the phrase "Pleasant goat and.....", for example " Pleasant goat and the big bad wolf," or something like that. (Even though in English we would say sheep or lamb, somehow it got translated as pleasant goat at first, and it stuck.) This might turn up more episodes on YouTube.

For hard copies, any of the online bookshops in the West that cater to Chinese expats and XBCs like Chinasprout or YesAsia should carry it in their children's section. If you are in China, or a Chinese-speaking country, any supermarket will have them for about 12 kuai for a multiple CD set, often in the checkout line. And as you said, there seems to be an unlimited number of episodes. As to English subtitles, that's a bit more iffy. Read the description carefully.

I am not familiar with the second title, but the same advice should be OK for any cartoon series like Dora the Explorer, and so on.

Hope this helps. There are a lot of people on this forum who use children's cartoons às a learning supplement, so I hope they step up and give some more advice.

I tried looking up Pleasant Goat and in pinyin but there only seem to be 3 episodes with subs and the movies. :/

 

I found some hard copies, but they don't feature English subtitles.

 

Are there any other famous kids series like Pleasant Goat, Dora The Explorer, etc.?

Maybe I can find one that does have English subs.

 

BTW, thank you for the tips!
