Season's Greeting from LCFM!

(Order Before December 31st and Take Advantage of the Christmas Sale
Prices)

What is LCFM? How does it Work?

(This program is also used by Dr. Schmidt, Ph.D to teach Chinese to his
students in Africa. Dr. Schmidt has authored over 20 books and
textbooks in the fields of Chinese Studies, Linguistics, Traditional
Chinese Medicine, Chinese and African Studies and Cultures, and
Religious Studies and Theology. More on him here.)

What do you get after you purchase LCFM? (try out a mini-version in the
free trial)

* Download links for all movies for all ten (10) movies listed below
(the files are neither hosted on this site nor uploaded by me. But they
do work.)

* Download links for all bonus movies listed below (if you buy before
December 31st, 2011 - Christmas Sale)

(Note: I do not endorse free downloading of movies. However, many of
these movies are difficult to find in many countries, so I would like
to "point you in the right direction" and provide the movie links -
which are not hosted on this site nor uploaded by me. They are simply
readily available on the internet.)

For each movie (including all the bonus movies), you get:

* LCFM subtitles, which include: Chinese (ch), Pinyin (p), Direct
Word-for-Word Translation (wfw), Fluent English (en) translations and
any combination thereof. So, for example those files would look like
this:
* rango-pinyin-only.srt
* rango-ch-p-en.srt
* rango-ch-p-wfw-en.srt
* rango-ch-p.srt
* rango-chinese-only.srt
* rango-english.srt

* The special media player that enables you to simply "stick" on the
above subtitles onto your downloaded movie file (or any movie you
already have in your house or on your computer.)

* LCFM Glossary: A list of every Chinese word mentioned in the movie in
chronological order, includes Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese,
Pinyin, and English definition.

* LCFM Flashcards: In jpg format . Flashcards are useful in testing
yourself at remember the Chinese characters. These flashcards will play
on your iPhone, iPod, iPad or any device that supports jpg files (which
is pretty much every device these days).

Test it all out in the Free Trial
(includes a sample movie, sample subtitle files, media player, and
more).

So, how does it work?

Simple:

1. Download your movie
2. Download and install the media player
3. Open your movie with the media player.
4. Drag and drop your desired subtitle file onto the media player.
5. Done (subtitles will start playing automatically).

really have to read because I've covered all of the program features
above)

LCFM: LEARN CHINESE FROM 10 AWESOME MOVIES

LEARN TO READ AND USE OVER 3000 OF THE MOST COMMONLY USED CHINESE
CHARACTERS "PASSIVELY" BY WATCHING TEN (10) OF THE GREATEST CHINESE
MOVIES EVER MADE WITH UNIQUE SELF-TEACHING SUBTITLES.

This powerful learning program is simply not taught in any Chinese
language learning product, it's not taught in any Chinese language
learning book/CD/DVD, and it's not taught in any university by any
Chinese professor, teacher, or tutor. This new Chinese-learning program
coupled with new learning methods using the latest technology is
designed to jump-start your Chinese level. It is perfect those who are
currently living in China, have already studied some Chinese, or for
those who think that learning a language from movies is an effective
way to learn a language. This program is not boring and does not focus
on "grammar rules". This is a program that helps you learn Chinese in
an enjoyable way. The result: Your ability to read and use over 3000 of
the most commonly used Chinese characters.

*NOTE: Spring in a Small Town (the original movie in this program) is
available for download (with my embedded patent-pending subtitles) in
the download section, and available with different subtitles
combinations. For the 9 other movies (and bonus movies), you must buy
them (or use the provided download links) and then use the unique
player that will easily "stick on" my subtitles.
For the 9 other movies - (1) A World Without Thieves; (2) Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon; (3) Empire of Silver; (4) Curse of the Golden
Flower; (5) Hero; (6) House of Flying Daggers; (7) Lost in Beijing; (8)
King of Masks; (9) Shower; Bonus Movies - I will provide:

* Chinese-Pinyin-WFW-English (and combinations thereof)
subtitle files and a program that allows you to "stick it" on the
movie. Pause the movie after every sentence and read all 4 subtitles
(Chinese, Pinyin, Direct Word-for-Word Translation, English). Keep
doing this for the whole movie. Watch the movie a few times and you
will begin to memorize the Chinese words and phrases.

Digital Flashcards. For every word and character used in
your chosen movie, these flashcards can be viewed on your iPhone,iPod,
PSP, cell phone or any portable device (both Traditional and Simplified
Chinese). View the flashcards anywhere for constant practice.

Chinese Character Writing Worksheets (not available for
Bonus movies). Choose your style, print them out and practice writing
all the Chinese characters used in the movie. Even if you don't plan on
writing Chinese, writing practice helps you remember the characters
more easily.

Dialog transcript of the entire movie. This can save you
time if you simply want to read the movie dialog and don't feel like
watching the movie (which can take longer)

Glossary of words for the entire movie (includes Chinese,
Pinyin, and English). In a snap, this will let you see every word used
in the movie. The words are in chronological order (order of
appearance).

* Movie download links. However, I highly encourage you to buy the
movie, either from iTunes or the DVD. The download links are a last
resort and the movie files are not hosted on this site nor have been
uploaded by me. But they are good quality and work well.

Order before December 31st, 2011, and receive 10 extra movies for FREE.

WHY DID I MAKE LCFM? WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT LCFM?

6 years ago I came to Shanghai on a teaching assignment, planned to go
straight back to Canada after I finished, but got sucked into the whole
Chinese culture, decided to stay and learn Chinese. I tried to learn
Chinese at reputable universities here in Shanghai (Donghua Da Xue, Hua
Dong Shi Fan Da Xue), I tried tutors, and I bought a few online/DVD
Chinese Learning programs. None of these methods worked for me.
Studying seemed more like a chore - writing characters over and over
again, memorizing vocabulary lists. Nothing was sticking - there had to
be a better way. My university classmates, even after studying Chinese
for 2 years could not even hold a conversation with a native Chinese
speaker. The courses are so drawn out. I mean, really, 2,3,4 or more
years to learn a language? I don't think so. They never mention that:
LEARNING LANGUAGES FROM MOVIES IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND FASTEST WAY TO
LEARN A LANGUAGE.

Chinese language classes are just textbooks and teachers. What a great
way to turn you OFF a language. Instead of getting bored in a
classroom, why not get excited and watch a movie with...

UNIQUE, INTUITIVE SUBTITLES THAT WILL HELP YOU LEARN CHINESE RAPIDLY.

PSP

How do other parts of the world learn English? That's right, through
Hollywood/American movies. I remember meeting this one Chinese guy
named Rocky who had the best English I've ever heard. How did he learn
his English? From Al Pacino movies! The guy swore a bit too much, but
other than that it was flawless! So, doesn't it make sense that we can
learn Chinese through Chinese movies? You bet it does!

Get It Now-

WOULDN'T THOSE EXPENSIVE INTERACTIVE CHINESE LEARNING DVD PROGRAMS BE
BETTER THAN MINE?
Short answer - NO! Most online/DVD/CD programs I bought were way
overpriced and were lacking in so many ways, it was unbearable and
utterly unbelievable. Knowing what I know now...
I WOULDN'T USE THESE "REPUTABLE" PROGRAMS EVEN IF THEY WERE FREE. WHY?
All these "reputable" online/DVD/CD programs have one or all of these
pitfalls:
Foreigners (ie non-native Chinese speakers) speaking a Chinese
dialogue with terrible tones (Learn Chinese from Movies - LCFM - has
Chinese people with perfect tones!)
Did not teach a single Chinese character, only Pinyin. (You
actually learn Chinese faster if you learn Chinese characters - SEE
BELOW)
Didn't have a transcript of the dialogue. (LCFM has badass
transcripts! see below)
Only taught a few hundred words or characters (LCFM has over
1700 Chinese characters per movie, see below!)
Terrible animated dialogues, usually with 3$ computer
microphone audio. (LCFM uses a badass movie instead! see below)
"Interactive" programs have this so-called "Voice Recognition
Software" that says if your pronunciation is "right" or "wrong". This
software, however, can not distinguish between similar pinyin sounds
like z-, zh-, j. So, basically, it's useless...unless terrible
pronunciation is your goal. (LCFM shows you how to pronounce everything
perfectly!)
Did not have anything for learning "on-the-go" - ie, videos,
flashcards for iPod/iPhone, PSP, etc. (LCFM does! See below!)
Did not teach Chinese from a Chinese movie (LCFM uses 10
badass movies!)

Get It Now-

The Learn Chinese from Movies (LCFM) Program does NOT have any of the
pitfalls of "reputable" DVD/CD/Online Products!

Instead...

the LCFM Program includes these features:

LCFM teaches Chinese Characters because learning only Pinyin will slow
you down. So many "pinyin-only-learners" look back in regret, knowing
they should have started with Characters from the get-go. Chinese
characters look intimidating, but they're not all all, as I will show
you in this program

LCFM has badass movie transcripts. To learn any language a transcript
is a must, it jump starts your learning by pairing up visuals with
audio - especially Chinese because of their very visual/pictographical
writing system

LCFM teaches you enough characters to read most of a Chinese newpaper -
over 3000 characters (10 movies total)! This is more than Rosetta
Stone, Fluenz, and Pimsleur combined! This program will teach you the
3,000 most commonly used Chinese characters and more.

Also, reading body language, looking at gestures, and having decent audio -
like from movies - is ideal when learning a language.

LCFM will show you how to speak each word perfectly.

LCFM program is the only one on the market that uses a full-length
Chinese movie (now 10 movies!), with "magical" subtitles that will
learn Chinese FOR you.

I don't mean to come across as this big "hater" - go ahead and try all
these other "reputable" online/DVD/CD programs and see what you think.
If you like them, that's great. But if you don't, maybe it's time to
try something new.

Anyways, my point is that during my Chinese learning road to "fluency"
I realized that there were many downfalls in every method for teaching
Chinese.

I really like movies, and I really like learning Chinese. Why don't I
just learn Chinese from movies? But, there's only one problem - I only
knew a few Chinese characters (at that time) - the rest of the
characters I simply couldn't read or pronounce. It'd be really cool if
the movie had pinyin too. So I thought why don't I take a cool Chinese
movie and add my own Chinese, Pinyin, and English subtitles. And that's
what I did and it worked pretty well for me. But sometimes I forgot
which Chinese character had which meaning and I didn't want to search
in a dictionary every time I forgot a Chinese character. So I thought
I'd go ahead and add a word-for-word (WFW) direct translation line.

The Word-for-Word Direct Translation Line
(see picture below) saves you HOURS of time. You do not need to use a
dictionary to search for individual words!

(April 2nd, 2011 Update: the WFW Translation line is now available for
all 10 movies.)

Anyways, after I added these "magical" subtitles it looked like this:

Learn Chinese From Movies Get It Now-

I did this for a few movies and then just watched the movies over and
over again until I knew almost every word and every line of the movie.

It absolutely SKYROCKETED my Chinese level.

I could pick up those super-hot Chinese girls with non-existent-English
with my new silky-smooth Chinese. I got job offers through my new
Chinese friends at companies in Shanghai. Travelling through China was
now a breeze and so much more enjoyable. Getting Chinese prices - for
food, housing (buying and renting), maids, clothes - comes with good
Chinese skills. You can basically live like a Chinese person- ie, super
cheaply! You can save money and be efficient at the same. In general,
my quality of life improved and I became much happier. Even if you just
go to China often for business, your Chinese skills makes everything
more enjoyable.

So back to my story - my friend saw these videos I made on my computer
with these "intuitive" subtitles one day and later convinces me to
share these with some more people.

I put a few videos on youtube. Before I knew it, some videos had
received:

over 180,000 views!!!!!!

I was blown away.

Get It Now-

During the first year, a got a few hundred emails and lots of youtube
comments as well as close to 200 Youtube users subscribed to my
"channel" (If you're a youtube user, you'll know that this is quite a
high number for a niche like this). People were leaving unbelievably
nice comments and loved the whole "magic subtitles" concept (Chinese,
Pinyin, WFW, English subtitles) and wanted more.

Here's an email from Dave who just got to Shanghai:

Hi there, just wanted to say thanks so much for putting together the
subs for these movies. I've just moved to Shanghai and doing a lot of
self-study, and I've found them incredibly helpful. They've really
helped me a lot with my speaking and listening skills. I feel like I'm
picking up the language a lot more because of what you've done. It's
really empowering and really expands my world since English is very
sparse here, and in many cases, nonexistent.

Much, much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

Here's another from Youtube user crock703:

This is a great way to passively studying language.. the educational
videos get so boring.

Here's another email I got from David (a different Dave!) who even
wanted to help me make the product for free:

Learning Chinese through watching movies is a great idea, and I have
tried doing it myself. But without pinyin subtitles (I don't have time
for hanzi) I don't learn much from the movies. I got an English
transcript of a few Chinese movies (original version) and translated it
into Chinese (with my tutor). I then tried to watch the movie but even
though my translation was good it was not very close to the actual
dialogue in Chinese.

I am glad someone else has taken up the challenge, and am happy to
support your efforts at least through purchasing the product. Tell me
if there is any other way I can help out.

Dave

Here's an email from Kevin (who also bought the DVD) who also wanted a
DVD to watch while on the couch with Pinyin subtitles. He also brings
up a good point about watching Chinese movies in the theatre:
Hi Darren,

For myself, the product I would really like is DVDs with pinyin
subtitles, like what you have on your site already, but a full DVD so I
can sit on the couch get comfortable on watch the whole thing. Also
pinyin transcripts of the movies would even be great with the
characters and english would be great too. so you can read the
transcipts before you watch the movies, then when we watch the movie
you dont even need the pinyin subtitles on the screen and just focus on
building up your skill to watch the movies like you would have, say in
a theater.

Best,

Kevin McKenzie

Here is a screen shot of the Youtube Channel comments from some of my
loyal subscribers:

Get It Now-

I didn't really want to go through the trouble of creating this
program, I wanted just continue teaching high school math and
travelling in Asia on my holidays. But the emails just kept coming. So
I had a choice to make - either change email addresses (which I really
hate doing) or create this program (and make some money, ha). So I
chose to create the program. I had never created this kind of program
before. It was quite a challenge and took me about half a year to
complete. All the while...

I kept getting emails from people asking me when the program will be
completed, such as this one from a guy named Mark:

How's the program coming. I'm ready to be your first customer. No rush.
i just wanted to make sure you didn't forget.

With such positive feedback, I believe this program was decent and
believe it can really help all you Mandarin Chinese learners out there.
Keep in mind, I'm not some sort of professional Chinese teacher. This
program, however, is used by Dr. Schmidt, Ph.D to teach Chinese to his
students in Africa. Dr. Schmidt has authored over 20 books and
textbooks in the fields of Chinese Studies, Linguistics, Traditional
Chinese Medicine, Chinese and African Studies and Cultures, and
Religious Studies and Theology.
