A great thing is to watch a movie in French with French subtitles (so you don't need to
find a transcription and can easily pause, replay etc both together if you want). Another is an audiobook + the book. Not necessarily for the full L-R method, just to have the text available when you need it. Some, the old ones, can be found on guttenberg + librivox which are both free. French has an advantage over other languages. Even public domain works can still give you a lot and the old date is not so much of an obstacle (and some of the French classics are awesome). The books won't give you the spoken language but they will surely help with listening comprehension in general. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Cavesa,
A quick question, where can we find French movies with French subtitles? Aside from ordering from Amazon.fr, which I find has surprisingly small amount of DVD that comes with French subtitles... is there a french version of Netflex or something...? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Other amazons have French edition of some dvds as well (for having both sound and
subtitles, you need to search a bit and either get a dvd meant for more countries or one with subtitles for french deafs). Other than that, you can download from many places but I don't know any fully legal source (the online shops are very limited from my experience). If you have access to dvds with French sound and just need the subtitles, than you can download them (fully legally, the subtitle makers are usually fans who do it for free and make just an ocassional mistake) and add them to the film during plaiyng in your computer. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

In my experience, if the DVD doesn't have French subtitles, there's very little chance that you'll be able to find French subtitles online. It's a shame but French subs for French films just seem to be very rare in general. 1 person has voted this message useful |
