Hola
I have just purchased netflix to try it for a month. Primarily to practice Spanish. It had lots of Spanish language based series, films too im sure. Its only £5.99 for basic package which includes a few advertisements. But you can choose from many languages. But regarding Spanish i can listen and use subtitles in and permutation i choose.
Listening English with Spanish subtitles or the opposite or in both of either. Has anyone tried this? Im wondering which permutation is most advantageous. I find i have to listen in English with Spanish subtitles at least once or thrice, then try Spanish Listening with English subtitles. Initially it seemed fantastic. But im not sure how advantageous it actually is.
Muchas Gracias
I used to watch Welsh with English subtitles, because I couldn’t read the Welsh ones fast enough - I either didn’t finish reading them, or I just spent the whole time reading instead of watching. Once I could read Welsh at speed, I swapped to Welsh (or none), except for rare moments of being completely lost.
In fact, at one point I used to watch Rownd a Rownd without subtitles (and come away feeling like I’d understood nothing), and then watch it with English subtitles and spend the whole show thinking “Yeah, well, we knew that already,” because I had actually understood much more than I thought.
Obviously, for Welsh read Spanish & YMMV.
