Sous-Titrages

Filed under French Culture {4 comments}

I finally figured out how to turn the subtitles on! It only involved pushing random buttons on the remote for 15 minutes and then pushing 888. How easy. I mean, doesn’t everyone know that 888 means subtitles in France?

I just watched two episodes of Bones and understood almost everything. Je suis contente !

Edit: Apparently it’s 777 for the Swiss channel.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Does this work for all of the channels or the majority? :0l

    It seemed to work for the majority of French channels, though I’m not sure if that’s the general way to turn them on, or if that’s just the way our TV works.

Why is Jennie no longer in France?

I created this blog in September 2006 when I moved to France from Michigan to teach English. Many of the earlier posts are about my personal life in France, dealing with culture shock, traveling in Europe and becoming fluent in French. In January 2010, I started focusing more on teaching and learning languages in general. In July 2011, I relocated to Australia to start my PhD in Applied Linguistics. Although I am no longer living in France, my research is on foreign language pedagogy and I teach French at the university so these themes appear most often on the blog. I also continue to post about traveling (though now my trips are usually in Australia) and being an American abroad.
