  • Thanks to BBC six minutes English. I learn some new vocabulary from the lesson of "The art of subtitling". There are upbeat, high five, jaunty and gobsmacked. In reality, the subtitle is an important communication for deaf audiences and a great way to learn a language. Therefore, I'm so upbeat.

  • I enjoyed the genre of ST's music, I felt upbeat and jaunty when I saw him in his concert. I gasped in suprise at his display. The majority of audiences were gobsmacked. He was deserving of five stars in that day from everyone.

  • Thanks BBC If people are deaf or hard of hearing, it would be impossible to watch television without subtitles. Subtitled captions aren't only for dialogues but also for sounds in most dramatic action-packed scenes. According to Karli Witkowska, a subtitler, it depends on the genre and the show that she can choose suitable adjectives to create emotion for the viewers. If you have a very upbeat sort of period piece where the music is very jaunty, you would like to use the word jaunty to describe the music. It's creating an idea of what a second is like and using a very descriptive word in order to do so. Also, she loves "gobsmacked silence" since she's able to tell people that they are almost on the verge of a grasp or a shock and that was the atmosphere. But there wasn't actually a sound so when her colleague came up with that one, she definitely wanted to give him a virtual high five.

  • The film's genre is upbeat and jaunty, and there won't be a lot of gobsmacking moments or gasps. The producers should get a high five for making the film.

  • Great to learn about the audiences of subtitles (not only the deaf, but also English audience of non-English films), and not just of dialogues (but also sounds). This comes in useful as I m embarking on archival work!🎉❤

  • Since I began studying English watching films in English Version has not only been a pleasure, it also has been a great tool for learning the Language. But I'd recommend watching these films without any subtitles at all. If you read, you reading English Skills will improve but not your Listening. Your attention will only be on the subtitles and at the very end, Subtitles can be an disadvantage rather than an advantage 👆

  • «The translated subtitles of foreign films are great for learning languages.» -- Especially for learning English, where the sounds of the words too often do not correspond to their written form. A philosopher here (Italy) in a talk half-jokingly said something like "English is a German [that] went bad". Now a question, hoping that somebody can answer. Many years ago there was a publication, under the form of series of books, based on classic literature, divided into levels based on number of words used, and rewritten in a way to fit the corresponding levels. If I remember well there were levels with 1000, 1500, 2000, ..., and so on, words. Time ago I tried to google, but to no avail. Anyone can tell me the name of that series?
