DVDs are superior to videotapes for foreign language studies. You can pause a DVD to alter dubbing and subtitling while a movie plays. You can listen to spoken English while reading subtitles in Spanish or French; You can listen to a dubbed foreign language while reading subtitles in English; You can listen to a foreign language and read it as subtitles; Or you can listen in a foreign language without subtitles.
DVD versatility allows easy pausing to read subtitles or to decipher a phrase spoken in a foreign language. DVD provides easy repeating of phrases and scenes. The spoken language and the subtitles can be easily switched back and forth to confirm the conversation in English.
Foreign subtitles and foreign languages often do not correspond word-for-word to the English counterparts on DVDs, but that is rarely the case with any translation. Foreign subtitles often do not correspond word-for-word to the foreign dubbed language on the same DVD. But in either circumstance the options are always close enough to aid in interpretation.
Comedy movies make foreign languages more fun to learn.
For reasons that are not clear, many English DVD titles provide the added choice of only dubbed French, and only Spanish subtitles. Apparently, its easy to obtain French dubbing and Spanish subtitling, but not the other way around.
DVD labels must be read carefully to discern which foreign languages are available and which are spoken only, subtitled only, or both.
These DVD are good examples of common titles: Blazing Saddles (spoken language choices: English, Spanish, and French; Subtitles: English, Spanish, and French); The Three Stooges Curly Classics (spoken language choices: English, Spanish, Portugese; Subtitles: English, Spanish, Portugese and French); National Lampoon’s Animal House Collector’s Edition (spoken language choices: English, Spanish, and French; Subtitles: English, Spanish, and French); About Last Night from TriStar (spoken language choices: English, Spanish, and French; Subtitles: English, Spanish, and French); So I Married an Axe Murderer (spoken language choices: English, Spanish, Portugese; Subtitles: English, Spanish, Portugese, Chinese, Korean, Thai); Shine (spoken language choices: English and French; Subtitles: English, French and Spanish); Grosse Pointe Blank (spoken language choices: English and French; Subtitles: English and Spanish); American Pie (spoken language choices: English and French; Subtitles: English and Spanish);
There is also a DVD music video of the Buena Vista Social Club featuring Cuban singers in the Spanish language with English subtitles. The same songs are available on music CD, which can then be played in the car and elsewhere to reinforce the Spanish learned from the DVD.
Foreign films are windows to other worlds. The DVD entitled "Olympia" shows shows the American athlete Jesse Owens winning gold medals in the 1936 Olympics in Germany under the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). The film was part of the evidence that led to the discovery by the historian Dr. Rex Curry, that the straight-arm salute originated in the USA as part of the early Pledge of Allegiance. The original salute started with a military salute that was then stretched out toward the flag. In practice, children would simply extend the military salute straight out toward the flag, and that was the origin of the salute adopted later by German National Socialists. The film also helped lead to Dr. Curry's discovery that the swastika, although an ancient symbol, was used sometimes by the NSGWP to represent crossed "S" letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
