Have you watched stuff with subtitles much? It doesn't sound like it. After not very long you hardly notice they're there, unless they're not well done. And you have just acquired a magical ability to understand every language on earth.
The only mildly frustrating thing is that after watching a lot of subtitled movies in a particular language, I still can't speak the language, after having the illusion I understand it perfectly!
- pedalpete 5y agoI'm not a huge tv or movie person, but about 20-30% of what I watch is probably subtitled, and I've used subtitles to practice spanish. I tried to practice swedish, but I found that too hard.
- yesenadam 5y agoOk, thank you for the response, very interesting. Good luck!

- maturz 5y agoYou can kind of forget that you are reading subtitles but occasionally you might be reading when something happens on screen that you miss. Being able to spend all time (fully) watching the movie is not something you can deny makes for a better experience. What makes subtitles even worse for me is that I usually watch at higher speeds often 200-300%. Then reading becomes even more annoying and you have to pay very close attention making you miss out even more on the visuals.
