Movies in Spanish
Watching movies with Spanish subtitles or Spanish Language tracks are a fun way to practice. Here are a few tips:
Rent
or go to a family movie that has been made originally in Spanish
If
you rent a movie on a DVD, you check on the cover to see if it lists "Spanish
Language Track" or "Spanish Subtitles". If so, you can go into the set
up menu and select "Spanish" for the language track.
If
you rent a DVD and set up the Spanish Language Track,
you may also go back into the setup menu and click to see "English
captions for the visually impaired." This
way, you can listen in Spanish and read in English
An
animated movie works particualarly well with a Spanish language track.
When dubbing happens with a movie with living actors, the voice and movement
of the mouth being out of sync can be a bit distracting (but can still
be fun and worthwhile with live actors as well).
