  Once you're past the "basic vocabulary" stage, watch films in French, but with the French subtitles.

    I just found a way to display two languages in the youtube subtitles :) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/two-captions-for-youtube/lpeonmjfimoijceaalocpgjjchocbiap https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/two-captions-for-y... pretty awesome with slow paced documentaries (bit a bit hard to find English and French subs, even when filtering for CC).

      The problem with English subtitles is that you will usually just end up reading the subtitles and not focusing on the audio.

        I put the french subtitles first and it works out quite well for me. In any way you have to stay in a learning mode, pause at times to look up a word in the english subtitles, repeat for yourself in your head in the pauses etc.
