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

- anotheryou 8y agoI 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).

- wallflower 8y agoThe problem with English subtitles is that you will usually just end up reading the subtitles and not focusing on the audio.
- anotheryou 8y agoI 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.
