The TMI Files. Learning Languages the Ebay Way.
Since buying My Neighbor Totoro off ebay, my daughter now speaks Japanese.I should have checked that it was dubbed in English - it isn't. It has Chinese dubbing, and both Chinese and Japanese subtitles.
I don't speak Japanese, but now Magilla does!
I have no idea what she's saying, but she sings along with the dvd, repeats the dialogue and has a great old time.
Luckily for us all, it's a great movie for the little ones, and you don't actually need any words. It's beautifully drawn, and a wonderful moving story.
I can't recommend it highly enough (although I'd still like to check it out in English).

Just be aware of where and when she uses the term 'gaijin' :)
Hehe. Luckily that's one word that's not in the film.
