One surprising fact about English is that, despite being the world’s most-spoken language, many people don’t speak it. Media from around the world are becoming more popular to the point that English-language content accounts for a slim majority of the thousands of titles on US Netflix. Sometimes, when watching these foreign-language films and TV shows, it’s sufficient to watch them with the English dub. If you’re after a more immersive experience,watch it on a nice tabletand change your Netflix settings so that it plays in the original language.
