ok, so this fascinated me for years and i really appreciate you answering. personally, I have seen 'run lola run' in German and in English and it totally blew my mind. I hated the English dubs! I ordered a copy online and only got the dubs and was devastated! It just feels 'better' in German' lol Amazon has a bad habit of thinking people want films in their own language. Nooo, I want to learn! On that note, rec any German speaking films based on ...idk, action, war, society, stuff? I don't do romance~

1: i love that there are terms for it :D 2: When I was learning german we got the impression that english is pushed a lot in schools? so...do most germans have a grasp on english or does it depend on where you are in the country? 3:I love that you have a term for the subbed films. When I was in France I saw films on tv and they just dubbed over them but never mentioned it was dubbed? That did not feel right to me. 4: yay! 5: That is fascinating! Thanks for sharing that info and link.
I just find the whole thing fascinating but I can't think of more questions now :D
I'd say most germans can understand/speak basic english. Age plays a big role (younger people much more likely to speak good english - my grandparents don't speak any english, my mom only knows a very few words) and the higher the education the better the english, usually.
