is it better to watch movies without subtitles but less often or with subtitles but more often? (B1)
for improving listening comprehension specifically.
it's been my biggest problem in learning english for a long time because i never knew what was the best way to improve that and would always get frustrated. the thing is that i really, really want to watch movies/tv shows without subtitles, but its still kinda tough for me, so i need to pay way more attention and spend much more energy to understand what the point is. therefore i dont watch it frequently because of the fear not to understand some parts and because of the annoying thought about how difficult it is - to manage to understand. uh.
at the same time, when i watch anything with subtitles i understand everything. the problem is not lack of my vocabulary or something, just the comprehension part. and it annoys me even more, because every time when i turn subtitles on i cant help but think that this is like cheating. and even tho its way easier to watch and actually enjoy it, every time i feel kind of really unsatisfied.
that's why im asking this question here. i know that this is really helpful to watch stuff regularly, but if i do that (regularly) without subtitles, then, pretty sure, i will lose my energy motivation and all this important stuff very quickly. i can watch it less often, though.
or i can watch it more with subtitles, because here i know that it won't be a problem for me. i just.. i cant understand if it really will work. because, like, i just read text from screen, dont i? then how the heck is it gonna help me with listening comprehension? i seriously dont understand this sort of things so i hope someone can explain it to me
thanks for reading! also, if there are any grammatical errors in the text, please tell me, this is very important for me!
