On the "too young" question... second gary Sep 03, 20:47

With the Ghibli films, I've been watching them in Japanese with English subs and reading those aloud so it's LIKE I'm reading to her, right? {nm} Paul2k Sep 04, 04:56

Ah, no; well, I've never thought about this question, but I think it's a no. That said, film literacy is a literacy, too. {nm} second gary Sep 04, 10:28
