I'm a big fan of subtitles. I was born in American, but I grew up in a Vietnamese household, so naturally, my first language is Vietnamese. I picked up on English through the TV and subtitles until I was old enough to attend pre-school. My parents still watch everything on subtitles and my mom actually learned a lot of English this way. I love reading, and realized many times that I've missed a lot of things when I don't put the subtitles on. A lot of Americans hate it, I've realized and I can't seem to watch a movie with a group of friends without getting bitched at for the subtitles. As for English films, I absolutely need subtitles.
