They have this nice page* of movies with Ukrainian subtitles. I am teaching English to a family of Ukrainian refugees. Films in English with Ukrainian subtitles would be a fantastic resource. Does anyone know of such a service?

FWIW, I highly, highly recommend showing them (simpler) movies with _english_ subtitles.

This helped tremendously when I was going from “school English” to “native English”, because things I couldn’t pick up by ear yet, I could pick up by reading the subtitles.

If you watch it with Ukrainian subtitles, your brain just falls back on what it already knows, and ignores the soundtrack (mostly).


That is a an excellent point. My wife's English got much better from us watching Friends with subtitles too. I gave them a DVD player and a few movies, thanks.


Sites like subscene have endless supply of subtitles in any languages and you can probably torrent the films themselves.


I should add, they only have iphones and the 35mm site's player just worked as expected with Ukrainian subs.
