Subtitles

Again, it has been a long since I posted last. Life has been very hectic of late but I have had a good deal of Chinese immersion lately. That is, however, another story for another day.

What I will share now is my frustration with how few mandarin language films and television shows are published with english subtitles. I think this area is one where the mandarin speaker learning english has the advantage over the reverse. There is a vast library of film and television available in spoken english with chinese subtitles. I suppose that the market dictates production, and at present there isn’t sufficient market for this but it sure would be nice. With the ever increasing economic power of China, I think (and hope) this will soon change.
