Hi guys,

In order to improve my listening skills, I have bought a few chinese dvds with subtitles in chinese in the Paris China Town last summer.
I am watching them with a regular dvd reader.
The problem I have is that the dialogues go too fast for me to understand and I would love to be able to slow down the audio pace, without eliminating the subtitles. Today, if I change the pace, the subtitles disappear.

Anybody knows the right tool to enables this ?

Perhaps view them on your computer? You should then be able to pause/resume quick enough to catch all the subtitles. I have watched shows like this before, but definitely not more than 10-20 minutes at a time before feeling exhausted.

Thanks skritterjohan, but I am viewing them on my PC, I wasn´t clear enough in my post. I just wonder if some dvd readers (for pc) can slow down the pace.
The "stop and go" process is indeed very tedious...

can't you find a text file that have the subtitles? if you can you can have it printed and follow separately

VLC is the best media player. It can do this.

Something I find useful is to go through at full speed, then thoroughly study the transcript by itself, then go back and listen again at full speed. That helps a great deal with developing listening skills.
