Hewllo there!

I wanted to hear your opinion on a topic that's been annoying me for the past few months.

I am aware that this Patreon family we're building together comes from many different parts of the world. And I love its diversity! ❤

As a non-native English speaker, I'm always grateful to have subtitles on anything I watch. I might not use them, but it feels safe to have the option just in case I have issues understanding the other person's accent. Not to mention that sometimes, I might need to watch that content while there's a lot of noise around me and I can't really hear what they're saying.

But as the person who has to write and add those subtitles to videos... it is quite an annoying task 😅 Especially after I've already spent hours working on a tutorial, adding even more hours to make sure the subtitles show up correctly and translating them to Spanish just makes me groan like a monster.

So I wanted to know; are the subtitles in my videos useful for you? Or would you be able to watch them and understand my sometimes funny accent just fine?😂

Please be totally honest! Even if it's more work for me, I want my content to be useful for you, so if you want the subtitles to stay in either language just say so.

Honestly even though I'm fluent in English (I'm French), I'd still prefer to have English sub since I'm so used to it... Maybe you could ask someone to do the subtitles for you? Is that an option? But do whatever suits you the most 😁

Honestly, you do have an slight Accent that makes some words a but hard to come by, but it's usually understandable either way through context or my non-native brain! I don't need the subtitles to understand you. I am more of a visual learner anyways.

I'm a native English speaker but am used to dealing with (and living with) non native English speakers and I find your accent perfectly understandable. That said, I appreciate others may feel different so, thank you for asking!

I don't earn enough to hire someone to do that for me sadly x'D it's okay though
