Spanish subtitles on my TV shows and movies On sunday evening I was wathching a TV show. I use to use Spanish subtitles to help me to understand the dialogs (it's a british TV show). Everytime I watch it I think, I've to practice my listening much more because I have to read the subtitles to understand everything. But last Sunday something happened. I was ironing, so I couldn't pay all my atention to the TV, but I was listening and I could understand much more than I thought, indeed I almost undestood everything except some jokes and some isolated words. The conclusion was that subtitles in Spanish could help, but also can focus your attention on reading and not to try to understand just listening.
