Episode notes
Rising Sound Design Hides Dialogue
- Modern movies and series increasingly raise ambient noise and sound effects, which masks dialogue.
- Producers often expect viewers to rely on subtitles, making pure listening harder.
Use Spanish Subtitles, Not English
- Use Spanish subtitles when watching Spanish shows to train listening and reading in the same language.
- Avoid English subtitles if your goal is to improve comprehension because they reduce active listening effort.
Rewatch And Replay Key Scenes
- Rewatch scenes or episodes: first watch with subtitles, then watch again without them to test comprehension.
- Pause and repeat challenging parts to link sound, meaning, and context for better retention.
