I have been told that it makes a big difference which _sounds_ the kids are exposed to during a certain age range, when they are developing the ability to distinguish language sounds. This would support the subtitles-better-than-dubbing hypothesis, and also explain why adults find it easier to learn languages with similar sounds to their childhood languages.
