The pilot project is being monitored by the University of Manchester and the initial encouraging results can be seen at http://www.springboard2languages.org/Summary%20of%20evaluation,%20S2L%20Phase%201.pdf <BR/>You might also like to see http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670<BR/><BR/>Confirmation can be seen at http://www.lernu.netBrian Barkerhttp://www.esperanto.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818332935611072344.post-55096294825538533712009-01-12T09:26:00.000-08:002009-01-12T09:26:00.000-08:00It is not all that common to put subtitles in the original language on a DVD. It happens, presumably out of consideration for hearing-impaired (formerly known as deaf people), but rather spottily, and this seems to be true not just for the US.frenkeldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18115187417587333532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818332935611072344.post-45238517738017058252009-01-10T07:52:00.000-08:002009-01-10T07:52:00.000-08:00Hello<BR/><BR/>Good point, I have seen Russian DVDs with Russian subtitles - very useful. I don't remember ever seeing a French movie with a French subtitle but I never really looked very hard. I quickly checked a couple of Bluray movies. Good news, subtitles in French, Spanish Italian etc. Now, I am referring to American movies with foreign language tracks. Original movies might still come without subtitles.reinekehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07698980784691138039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818332935611072344.post-73888901706592634752009-01-10T06:20:00.000-08:002009-01-10T06:20:00.000-08:00hello there! thanks for your comments!<BR/><BR/>one thing that has annoyed me about DVDs in america - specifically, the movie amelie. there are no french subtitles. sometimes i want to watch a french movie in french with french subtitles. <BR/><BR/>and baguettes! how i miss them. they're on my "to learn how to bake" list.<BR/><BR/>good luck with your language learning!csquadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07596726160454946466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818332935611072344.post-77699901709373115402009-01-09T19:46:00.000-08:002009-01-09T19:46:00.000-08:00Seven or eight foreign ones plus two English ones.reinekehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07698980784691138039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818332935611072344.post-51619574536389577282009-01-09T18:02:00.000-08:002009-01-09T18:02:00.000-08:00What's the most number of audio tracks on a disc?Keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02533265523359409077noreply@blogger.com
