Me too. I even like watching English movies subtitled in French, and
vice-versa because the disparity between the speech and the subtitle is
often quite funny - French and English subtitlers don't understand the
nuances of the other language, I reckon. I basically learnt Spanish from
songs and subtitled movies (hence I know how to say "I love you" but not
"where are the toilets please").
