Actually, that is probably one of the things I liked MOST about Sakura
Taisen. To the Japanese learner, hearing spoken Japanese and reading
Japanese text helps immensely. It's one thing to say "Mooshiwake
arimasen" in Japanese class a year ago. It's complete different to hear
it and see the hiragana/kanji. Once you see it once(or a few times), you
learn it. Repeat process for other phrases/terms you knew, but didn't
know how to read.
And as a dub-hater, I would be darned not to be able to hear Chisa-san,
Michie-san, and the others.

expected though.
