Spot on article!

I’m currently in Krakow for a week and this is a thing that came back to me, since it’s been almost 10 years of my last trip to Poland.

I have to say, the Poles do speak English very well, considering the fact that everything is dubbed. My theory is, that people in those dubbing countries struggle to learn foreign languages because they don’t hear those languages spoken anywhere. Same applies i.e. in Germany, France and Italy. I’ve travelled in Germany a lot and the ability to speak German has proved to be extremely helpful.

I’m glad that we don’t have dubbing culture in Finland. Pronouncing has never been a problem to me, because I’ve heard foreign languages spoken since I was a child. They tried to dub the Bold and the Beautiful once, but it was hated away very shortly.

I love Poland, but I have to say, I don’t love dubbing..

How about this: “W Strzebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie” one of most famous Polish tong twisters.
Or “Jerzy spadł z wieży i nie wierzy, ze na gnieździe jeży leży”.
For the advanced learners of the most difficult language on Earth:
“Poproszę halbke spirytusiku najwydystylowanszejszego” (the word “halbka” is a regional (Silesia) word not commonly used).

I don’t particularly like the lektor, but I hate dubbing SO MUCH MORE. I can’t imagine being robbed of the original voices and feel of a movie, I hate dubbing being pushed down kids’ throats these days, so that they don’t even get the chance to realize that the cartoons they’re watching are originally from another country. In the 90. all the kids’ cartoons had lektor and we, the kids, were discovering the beauty of foreign languages, imitating them (badly), and sometimes confusing Japanese with Italian, because somehow we’d sometimes get Italian-dubbed anime ;)). Lots of us went on to learn these languages just because we heard our favorite cartoon characters speak them and grew fond of them. I never let my kids watch dubbed versions of movies and cartoons if I can help it, but subtitles, obviously, are hard for younger kids. Lektor is the better choice!

I only noticed how strange those little kiosk booths are after I moved out from Poland. They have also a very peculiar scent of fresh newspaper print mixed with tobacco, candies and soap! :)
