Today at class we were talking about cinema options in Berlin. Where in our city to go and enjoy a cinema movie? Many of us are new to German language exposure, so watching an English speaking movie in Berlin’s cinema could be quiet nice and relaxing hang out. This could be a good break after a long day of studying German.
There are many cinemas in Berlin showing films in their original language (Original Fassung or OF). Films listed as OmU (Original mit Untertiteln) are also shown in their original language, usually with German subtitles. In some cases, the original language of the film could be not English but French, Spanish or Japanese. Films being shown in the original language with English subtitles are also sometimes listed as OF mit engl. UT (Original Version with English subtitles).
The biggest “Kino” in Berlin which offer variety of English speaking movies is Cine Star at Sony Centre
