If you're watching a program that's in a language that you don't understand, would you rather see it with subtitles or dubbed?

Wow, I'm really surprised to see subtitles are winning out, but then, this is a very literate group. I think the answers would be different if you took a population that doesn't read much.

I also prefer subtitles. I like having subtitles even if I'm watching a film in American English. I find there is often at least one scene in which the actors whisper or mumble and I cannot figure out what they're saying.

It is effortless for me to read while watching, so I don't think it takes away from my experience of the action at all.

I prefee dubbed and I rarely meet someone who read as much as I do. Simply movies for me are to unwind.

Subtitles for sure!
We actually watch most programs and movies with subtitles this way we don't miss some words but if its a foreign film id rather hear the other language that goes with their mouth movement and have subtitles than watch and hear two separate things.

This. It's discombobulating.


That. And thank you, Zaq, for using one of my favorite words!
