I'd love what they suggested as well, for other languages. I'm working on improving my French (and occasionally German), and I'm at a stage where I can follow along some French shows reasonably well if they're not speaking too fast (one of the first French phrases my French teacher in school taught us was "plus lentement, s'il vous plaît" - "slower/slowly please", for a reason), and if they're not speaking any particularly difficult accents, and not too much slang, but it's limiting and I'm often forced to keep English subtitles on as a consequence and it's sometimes too much of a crutch. It doesn't help that my hearing isn't what it was.

Being able to "step down" the difficulty so that I can either turn off subtitles entirely or rely on French subtitles, or even much "difficult speech" and "simple subtitles" or vice versa seems like it'd be very useful in getting over that hump faster.
