I just watched a programme about cheese in Italian with English subtitles.
What's the weirdest thing you've done in the name of advancing your language learning? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I once watched a program about rice in Japanese. It didn't even have subs so I have no idea what they were saying.
Playing children's games in another language is a pretty surreal experience. It can be fun for a while though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I put a Korean little kid's game on my iphone. It consists of feeding a monster an item depending on what the audio says. It was kind of amusing and I learned a few words from it. My mom also enjoyed it, and I was a little proud that I was able to tell her what the audio said without looking at the screen. :D

Oh, you were actually talking about cheese. I thought you were talking about cheesy, Vegas something or other. RE: Language learning through cheese Well, the Elvis impersonator singing old Elvis songs I saw in Thailand had pretty good English. Surly that counts as going the distance for language learning / making a living. Or perhaps he was just having fun. I'm hoping to learn both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions of some pop songs and try them out in a karaoke sometime. All in the spirit of language learning... (I'm a REALLY bad singer though so I suspect I'll have tomatoes thrown at me.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've watched Deutsche Welle in English... programmes about Germany and I loved it.
also I've played videogames in Italian and in Svenska (the last one was almost instintive, because I couldn't understand most of the words xD) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not related to the actual question at all, but for some odd reason I get really excited when I learn the word for "cheese" in a new language. Just a moment ago I learned پنير in Persian and I was ecstatic. I remember the same reaction when I learned сыр and brânză in Russian and Romanian respectively.
