Have you ever noticed that the DVDs of movies that you get from Netflix or Blockbuster have a feature on them that allows you to insert subtitles or have the dialogue in another language? Of course the most popular foreign language for these alternatives is Spanish. We are speaking here principally of English language movies.

Ira Riklis knows that just before you push “Play” you will see others options and one of those will allow you to play the movie dubbed in Spanish or have Spanish subtitles.

So how is this helpful in studying Spanish? Well, the suggestion has been made to watch the movie three times. The first viewing would be with English dialogue and Spanish subtitles just to get the gist of the storyline and notice how it is translated. The second time you would choose to play the movie with Spanish dubbed dialogue and English subtitles. Ira Riklis knows that by doing this you can really listen to the Spanish spoken and check every once in a while for the English translation. With the third viewing you would set the DVD for Spanish dialogue with Spanish subtitles and really get a workout in the language department.

Now how easy is that? Pick a favorite movie and have fun with it all the while increasing your language skills. You will be surprised at how much Spanish you pick up.
