I think you're right - it's probably a bit of both. Don't give up…you'll be surprised at how quickly you progress! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I finally located these recently and checked them today. Apparently I only got to Season 1 of each series before I stopped buying them. Buffy Season 1: Audio = English, French Subtitles = English, French, Spanish Angel Season 1: Audio = English, French, Spanish Subtitles = English, French*, Spanish Given the delay of when Angel started airing (about half-way through the Buffy series, I believe), the US may have gotten the same release as Canada for these based on the language info on my copies above and your observation that Buffy added Spanish as an audio language in Season 3. In fact I wonder... {quick search of Google then back to the forum} Searching around the web I did find a torrent claiming to be Buffy season 1 with English and Spanish audio however, it also noted it had Spanish-only menus and is PAL (not NTSC), so it obviously was not from a US release disc. EDIT: I went to rip Angel Season 1 and the box was incorrect, it has all three languages available as both audio and subtitle tracks. The box implied that the only subtitle tracks were English and Spanish. *EDIT #2: Upon looking further only some episodes have all 3 subtitle languages; others only have 2. Odd that it isn't consistent, but that explains the lack of a mention on the box. Edited by Warp3 on 17 January 2014 at 3:30am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

FYI, I was watching an episode of Angel in Spanish and I was disappointed because they used some improper "spanglish" or whatever terminology so I stopped watching it in Spanish. Something incorrect like, "estoy consciente" (when "soy consciente" should be used in situations that DON'T have to do with your physical consciousness) or "el televisor está trabajando" or something nasty like that.
Just keep your eyes peeled for mistakes. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

By the way, is the Spanish on the Buffy DVDs Latin American or European? I've found both
online and generally prefer Latin American, but it's much easier to find the European dub. As for after FSI, audiobooks are great, but I usually end up listening to podcasts. ivoox.com has loads to choose from and it's really nice to have a couple options ready to go. When no one is looking, I try shadowing, but it looks like I'm a crazy person. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

@Warp3, I honestly don't find the Spanish subtitles very useful. They don't match the words being spoken, so they're
more distracting than anything else. If you can find the first few seasons of Buffy, I think it would be better than starting at season 3. The show is much better if you get to know the characters. @culebrilla, thanks for the heads-up! I think that my level is not quite high enough to catch mistakes, so I'm not too concerned about it at this point. But I'll definitely pay attention! @evilado, my DVDs are Latin America. I wish they were castillano! But I really like the voice actors, so I'm enjoying the show a lot! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah, I read some reviews saying that. It sounds like the Office Space DVD where the Spanish subtitles and Spanish audio were so far off it makes you suspect that each was translated in complete isolation from the other.
When those two shows were originally on the air, I watched both religiously until their runs ended, so I've got that part pretty well covered. ;) Edited by Warp3 on 18 January 2014 at 4:02am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I think that's exactly what it is. The subtitles were made for Spanish-speakers watching in English. And then some other company took care of the dubbing. Both are translations - but they're different translations. Anyway, I'm loving Buffy in Spanish! Since you're already a fan, I think that you will too! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I just wanted to say Stelle that I saw one your your monologue videos when you were five months or so into your Spanish learning and you honestly impressed me! And I'm extremely honest and hard to impress. I wonder how good your Spanish would be right now. :)
