Subtitles often create false confidence.
Why subtitles mislead
Understanding the text does not guarantee recognizing the sound. Short loops reconnect text with speech.
Aligning sound and text
Looping a single subtitle line allows sound and meaning to align gradually.
Looping sentence-level segments
This bridges the gap between reading comprehension and listening comprehension.
Avoiding over-reliance on reading
Practice listening without text first, then confirm with subtitles.
Building listening confidence
Gradually reduce subtitle dependency as recognition improves.
