Very entertaining indeed!
My husband, who is Turkish, has been learning Spanish for the past few years during the months we spend in Uruguay. There, we watch Mexico or Miami-subtitled movies and TV shows, and he thought paying attention to the subtitles would be a good way of furthering his command of the language. Thus, a

which elicited another round of family laughter that finally deterred him from using the subtitles as learning aids. ▲ Collapse
