Foreign subtitles improve speech perception

Foreign subtitles improve speech perception for second langauge learners according to a new study by the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. The research suggests that foreign language acquisition works better when watching foreign film DVDs if the learner is able to watch with subtitles in the target language rather than English subtitles. The anecdotal evidence from talking to customers who have bought Foreign language DVDs from us would appear to support this research.
