Grateful for English subtitles
Day 1/365
Today, I was feeling a bit low because a lot of the current shows I want to watch on Netflix Japan don’t have English subtitles. But then I thought, how lucky am I to have been able to watch SO much content with English subtitles up until now. This includes anime and Japanese dramas.
I was able to finally finish a drama I was loving called After School Doctor. The subtitles took quite some time for each episode, and while I do understand a good bit of Japanese, I don’t understand everything, especially medical terminology. So I really rely on English subtitles. Even though I felt a bit frustrated by the wait, the gratitude I feel for having subtitles at all is stronger.
I am grateful to the people who are clever enough to fluently speak both languages and provide such a wonderful service to people like me. Isn’t it amazing that we can translate languages so effortlessly in our current society? Imagine what we would miss out on if we couldn’t do that.
