Dubbing VS Subtitles, Which is better for language learners: dubbing or subtitles or both? Much can be said on this subject, firstly it depends on the situation of the country (or countries) where the language is spoken, in the western world some countries tend to dub all foreign products while others have subtitles for Use films and only dub cartoons and programs for children.Some countries even synchronize products in the same language because foreign accents and cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings among viewers. Voice-over is traditionally used in Eastern Europe: the original soundtrack is retained along with the recordings by one or two voice actors. Regardless of their preferences or habits, language learners should weigh the pros and cons of each solution. Synchronizing allows students to practice listening, but they are less faithful to the original and sentences can be difficult to understand due to background noise or music, local variation, and technical issues. Subtitles are more faithful to the original and can help students match the original with the translated text; however, they mainly help to practice reading. VoiceOver can also help the listener compare the original sound with the translated one, but personally I find it confusing to hear two or more voices speak at the same time. what do you mean?Share your ideas and experiences.
