Something I knew about before landing here was that you can get Dutch
subtitles on TV by simply going to text 888 (ondertitels). It’s intended
for the hard of hearing but I find them really handy to decipher
conversations.
On the other hand, all the English language broadcasts already have Dutch
subtitles and this is also great for learning, as you know I have been
using this technique already, before I had even arrived here.
Where I live we have cable and get a ton of Dutch channels, the odd French
or German channel and even BBC1! I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad
thing for me! I was thinking of investing in a proxy service anyway in
order to obtain BBC via iplayer (normally not accessible outside the UK).
