    I learned English by reading english subs of pirated movies.

    I did that for years. Now I get wierded out by movies dubbed in my language.

      What is your language? A 1 to 1 translation can be varying degrees of awkward depending on the two languages involved.

        No, that’s not it. German is very close to English.

        It’s more that the known english-speaking actors suddenly have different voices.
