Do you watch foreign-language content with English subtitles? A survey explores how English-speaking viewers engage with subtitles and whether optional on-screen explanations could help improve understanding. It takes about 15-20 minutes to complete: forms.office.com/e/6Hd0DtYJsx.

What do you think of #subtitles?
We want to hear your opinion!

The UK #Subtitling #Audience 🎬 Survey is collecting information on #viewing habits and #perceptions of subtitled media. It should take about 10 minutes.
We would love to hear from you 😊
