Huh, I'd do the opposite: see a show in that language with subtitles in a language I know.

Rather easier to watch some English-spoken DVD that I want to watch anyway and use the Arabic (or other) subtitles. The opposite would admittedly be a better exercise, but much harder to get hold of, and there aren't as many movies/shows in Arabic that I want to see.


True.
I don't pay enough attention to subtitles to make that a good option for me, I think. Although I haven't tried it. Perhaps if I used a film I knew very well. Hmm. A plan forms.

Books are one of my primary ways of learning a language, but I find I learn much easier from hearing it spoken. Hence my choice of sound vs subs.

I can't agree that reading subtitles distracts you from what's going on. Legolas - 22/01/2011 12:25:01 PM 478 Views

Yes, but you see, the languages I'm trying to learn aren't that mainstream. Legolas - 23/01/2011 10:24:02 AM 422 Views
That is the major problem with subs, isn't it? Darth_Katie - 22/01/2011 02:29:24 PM 446 Views
I don't watch anime much, but generally speaking: of course dubbing isn't always bad ironclad - 22/01/2011 03:42:07 PM 460 Views

It seems to come down to quality, doesn't it? beetnemesis - 23/01/2011 06:55:41 AM 555 Views
I prefer subtitles because they tend to stay as close to the original artistic intent as possible ßelals Girl - 22/01/2011 07:42:37 PM 430 Views
