Are You Using Subtitles the Wrong Way to Learn English?
Learn English with Bob the Canadian
In this English lesson, I'll talk about seven mistakes you might be making when using subtitles to learn English, and I'll give you some tips on how to use them effectively.
Subtitles can be a great tool for English learners, but if you use them all the time, you might be improving your reading skills more than your listening skills. In this lesson, I'll explain why I think you should avoid mixing English audio with subtitles in your own language, why you shouldn't always have subtitles turned on, and why understanding written English isn't the same as understanding spoken English.
I'll also talk about the importance of watching videos more than once, pausing and rewinding to learn new words and phrases, and using subtitles and transcripts for more than just reading along. Finally, I'll explain why spoken English sometimes sounds quite different from the words you see on the screen.
At the end of the lesson, I'll share a simple technique you can use to practice listening to English with and without subtitles.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson and that it helps you become a better English listener. Have a great day!
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with the English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!
