When I lived in Switzerland, being English speaking I relied a lot on the subtitles (in German) for French films This helped improve both my French and German but I discovered something fascinating If I really started getting involved, I would suddenly realize afer half an hour or so, that I had understood every word and hadn't read the subtitles once As soon as I was conscious of this, I needed the subtitles again One of the many mysteries of language Has anyone else experienced this I wonder

I saw this quite a while ago and loved it (I am from America and it was in English) but I'm happy to find it here in any language. Thank you, especially for the subtitles.
