"When you watch a movie that's not in your language, you can choose between two types. Dubbed means the movie will be in English and you'll hear actors speaking the new language instead of the original one. Subtitled means you'll still hear the original language, but there will be English words written at the bottom of the screen so you can read what the characters are saying."
