This is extremely cringe.

Rakuten Viki (a platform that has all kinds of Asian TV shows) used to have a feature that allowed you to watch videos with 2 sets of subtitles at the same time, which was ideal to learn languages. But for some reason, they just got rid of that feature?

Now there is “Language Reactor”, which is a Chrome add-on that allows you the same feature on other platforms like Netflix, but none of those platforms have an even remotely decent catalogue of shows from mainland China (it’s probably perfectly sufficient if you wanna learn Korean though). It’s also a Chrome add-on and I’m using Firefox.

I’m looking into ways to pirate the shows and then add 2 layers of subtitles myself, which is probably gonna be a huge hassle because torrent hubs also don’t seem to have many shows from mainland China.

Does anyone have a somewhat convenient way to a) Watch Chinese TV shows and b) Watch them with both English and Chinese subtitles? I specifically found this show I thought looked cute named 以家人之名 and it’s on Rakuten Viki but alas, I can only watch it on there with either English or Chinese subs, not both simultaneously. And from my experience, you don’t learn a lot at all when just reading English subs, especially with how difficult Chinese is from a listening comprehension standpoint.
