What is revoicing and captioning?

Revoicing is to add speech to a clip. It includes dubbing, voice over, respeaking, audio description, free commentary, karaoke singing and reciting.

Captioning is to add writing to a motion or still picture, for example subtitles, intertitles, annotations, speech bubbles and comments.

This is Thalia and she wants to learn Japanese.
Watching foreign films helps to learn languages - and it’s motivating too
But how can learners be more active? 
By flairing a clip!
Which means captioning or revoicing
Thalia can add subtitles 
Or she can dub her voice over the actress's

And then what? 
Thalia can join a group, post her flaired clip, get feedback from her teacher, collaborate with her fellow learners, or simply share it with her friends.
