When you find yourself flipping because a favorite Japanese series (or your
corresponding target language) is dubbed in English, but you don't mind it so much when an English show is dubbed in Japanese (even though you admit to yourself deep down that the original is still better, and that you prefer originals to dubs).

That's sometimes easy. Study other subjects IN your target languages. ;-) Somehow, the

Oh well, in my workplace I read Euclid's The Elements when I have a free time. It is bilingual in Greek and English. I try to read the Greek parts, but because sometimes the words just come out from my mouth, people would think that I am chanting a magic spell instead.
