Ah yes, the Landman argument.

I don't know if music in a new language works so well. Lots of songs have, like, "forced" slang or even changes in pronunciation or syllable stress to meet the constraints of the lyrics. In my country I see lots of people that only listen to music in English but don't have any grasp of it.

Instead, I would go with cartoons or children/preteen's shows first. In adult shows, even when not R-rated, characters usually speak way too fast, or, what is most common, the voices are not mixed very clearly, unlike cartoons.

What worked for me best (for English) was watching Disney movies, the same ones I watched in Spanish.

This is hilarious, like "Now, kids, repeat after me, 'te quiero puta'"

> Joel Spolsky said (I'm paraphrasing) that everybody only uses 20% of a given program's features, but the problem is that everyone is using a different 20%, so you can't ship an "unbloated" version and expect it to still work for most people.

I remember reading something like this while talking about developing in C++.

I remember this case the one who put "Actually Indians" in my mind. What other instances do you know?

(Not to refute your point, of course, I am just curious)

I'm talking about the tv show, not the games.
