Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustard" data-source="post: 4591" data-attributes="member: 46">Subtitling is much better than dubbing. In my opinion, this is a huge reason as to why people in countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium speak brilliant English compared to say, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal or even Germany. In the Scandinavian and low countries, they can actually hear the English dialogue spoken and have the subtitles in their native languages, which makes it much easier for them to learn English than in countries where they don't hear the English dialogue and only hear the dialogue dubbed in their own language.I know this is generalizing and there are exceptions, including on this forum, but when one looks at the number of English speakers in these countries, like 80%+ in those subtitling counties, compared to way below 70% in the dubbing countries, there's something in that.</blockquote>
