Watching movies in a foreign language can be a lot of fun, even if these films do not have any subtitles in them. If you are watching a foreign film in German, you need to be aware of the different dialects spoken by the characters. Some dialects are used to reflect the setting of the film in a small town or village. When you watch a film in a foreign language without subtitles, you may really enjoy the film in spite of not understanding what is being said.
A few tips to help you understand foreign films
Though a lack of understanding of what is being said can be a disadvantage, you can with the help of a few simple tips, understand what is being said and enacted.
