If anyone knows of better Chinese video sites please share the links with us below.Ībout halfway through my first year at 山西农业大学 (Shānxī Nóngyè Dàxué, Shanxi Agricultural University) I decided to take a stab at learning some 四川话. It would be awesome if they get up to speed with youtube sometime soon and start offering higher quality clips. Be forewarned that the video quality is generally not great on these sites. Here are some links to a bunch of different 猫和老鼠 clips dubbed in different dialects: 四川话: 河南话 东北话 兰州话 陕西话 潮汕话. If you surf for a while longer you’ll see that the cartoons have also been dubbed in tons of other dialects as well. If you log on to one of the popular Chinese youtube knockoff sites like youkou or tudou and do a quick search for 方言 (fāngyán, dialect) you’ll see that some of the results that pop up on the first page are Tom and Jerry Cartoons dubbed in 四川话 (Sìchuānhuà, Sichuan dialect).
The talking is a little distracting at first, but after you get used to it you’ll see that it adds a whole new dimension of humor to the cartoons. Not true in the Chinese dubbed versions which have Tom and Jerry talking almost non-stop.
You might remember that there is almost no dialogue in the original American version. In Chinese the cartoons are called 猫和老鼠 (māohélǎoshǔ) which literally means Cat and Mouse. If you’re a fan of Tom and Jerry cartoons you should definitely check out the Chinese dubbed versions.
“I am pleased that our students, faculty, and staff will benefit from a space like the HITC that supports their teaching, learning, research and engagement.Last week I was reading the forum thread about what else people use to study Mandarin and wanted to put in my own two cents here about using Tom and Jerry cartoons as study materials. “We know that we need to broaden the way we typically think and teach, and build upon the transdisciplinary initiatives we’ve started,” President Freeman said. Freeman lauded the group for their planning efforts, adding that the center will address a long-standing need by bringing the university’s health profession programs together. “It will foster excellence in the healthcare field and engage students from other academic programs to show them the role technology plays in modern healthcare.” “The center will become a hub of collaboration, providing a range of transdisciplinary experiences and research opportunities for faculty and students,” Matuszewich said. Leslie Matuszewich, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and planning group co-chair, said the Health Informatics and Technology Center is an excellent example of harnessing the power and expertise of multiple academic units across campus to address a regional and statewide need. “The Health and Informatics Technology Center will not only increase opportunities for transdisciplinary collaboration within and between health profession programs, it will encourage collaboration with community and external partners as well,” Ransdell said. “This modern and flexible space will be extremely beneficial for interdisciplinary education and research in this field.” “The building is being designed with the goal of bringing together dispersed units of health education from various locations – on and off campus – to one site,” Roller said. Roller said the location is a great anchor point for students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community. A portion of the state’s funds will be used to raze Lincoln Hall. In early 2020, a campus-wide survey went out, and the feedback aided in selecting the location on Annie Glidden Road at the site of Lincoln Hall, a resident hall that’s been unoccupied since 2013. NIU has received $7.7 million for planning and design efforts of the $77 million that was designated by the state of Illinois as part of its capital budget.īelinda Roller, director of Architectural and Engineering Services and co-chair of the planning group, said determining where to locate the Health and Informatics Technology Center was a crucial first step in the planning process. “The center will be an interactive space that encourages synergy and a future-oriented approach to health education and research at NIU.”
“The group did an amazing job in laying the foundation for this monumental project,” said Lynda Ransdell, dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences. Lynda Ransdell, dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences.
