Do you still turn the subtitles on even if the movie is in English?

If it has features like that, I would probably turn it on but, some people don't want to. There was this one time during a Shakespeare class during college that our professor simply didn't like watching a play/film while the captions were on. Stressing on listening as well as associating the dialogues with the performance of the actors. If the film I'm watching doesn't really have that much 'slang' in it, I wouldn't utilize the subtitle features, and some films that I get to watch have weird subtitling..

I do turn them on! even though english is my first language I turn them on because sometimes they speak so quietly that I don't hear what they are saying. I don't like to miss anything the first time around... so this really helps me catch everything =]

Only sometimes, when for some reason or another I cannot understand them or they are too quiet. The movie Rescue Dawn was one I had to turn the subtitles on because all of the actors seemed to be mumbling.

It is good to turn on the subtitles as my husband would usually do the settings for the movies. If the movie is an original one the english subtitles are okay. If the movie is a pirated one he would sometimes turn it off because the pirated movies' subtitles sucks - its just irritatingly inaccurate.

I do not use the subtitles a lot if I am watching a movie in English but sometimes it helps to have them on even though I can understand what they are saying,I do not know why but it is sometimes easier to get a grasp of what is going on if I can hear them speaking and also see the subtitles of what they are saying,and besides the subtitles help me keep up if I am on the phone or something and can not pay complete attention to them speaking.

English language is my second language, So I must turn the subtitles on the make me more understand the movie story. Previously, The subtitle I turn on is my mother language, but now I try to watch movie with english subtitle. So I can improve my english and the way to speak.

I'm so sorry for coming in so late. However, sometimes I also like to read subtitles for the same reasons, mentioned by you. But not always.

I don't turn them on. Since I can understand the people I don't see the need for it. If English isn't your first language though, I can see how the subtitles will help you improve your English.

No, but English is my native language. Maybe if I were learning still I might, but since I am fluent I don't.

i turn the subtitle off.its enterupting me.

Yes I like movies with subtitles. I enjoy the movie more because even if it is in English, some spoken words are not so clear. Subtitles make me understand the movie better. And English is not my native language also. So it helps more.

Yes I do turn it on. As you said in your post I don't know english either. As english is not my mother language I get less scopes for practicing english. Though I am not that dump not to understand what they are saying. Still I don't want to miss a thing. Moreover it helps me to know its spelling, it helps me to improve my word-stroke. Sometime the actor or actress used to through the speech so quietly that it is relly hard to understand what are they saying. Sometimes the native speakers stumbles to understand their whispering speech.

i don't really like too but sometimes they are too slang. i am asian and even my country have hundred dialect i still can understand movies that are too slang. so sometimes i rather have the subtitles.

Yes, I turn on the English subtitles even if the movie is English. The main reason is because, I can watch the movie with low volume if I have subtitles, or I can watch movies in my laptop even if I am not using a headset. The sound of my laptop is not good, so I always have to wear headset when watching something. If I have subtitles, then I won't have any more problems with it. I even download subtitles if the movie does not have one.

Though English is my native tongue I do like to have the subtitles on during some movies. Some movies it is impossible to hear just what is being said especially if there is some back ground noise in the movie. Sometimes it is just easier to keep up with what is being said with the subtitles turned on.

i actually hate subtitles...so when its English i don't turn on the subtitle because some subtitles are just annoying...it doesn't fit the right words the character say and it bothers me all the time..another thing is that when its on i focused so much on it even if i don't want to..so i don't i hate subtitles..

Nope. Although I turn them on if it's a non-eglish movie. I would rather read subtitles then the usually lousy translation jobs. This is ESPECIALLY true of Japanese stuff I watch.

I some time turn the sub title to understand clearly to that and I have to learn lots of english.

I like to use the subtitle feature even if the movie is in English. There are some words that I sometimes don't know and it is good to know the spelling. The only problem with using the subtitles is that you sometimes miss the details of the scene because you are to busy reading the subtitles

yeah sometimes i turn the subtitles on while watching a movie, coz i want to understand it clearly. have you notice that sometimes you can't understand what they're saying coz the voice is low or maybe they're talking fast. so in order to understand the whole story, i will turn the subtitle on hehehe..
