Subtitles make speech comprehension easier even for native speakers. Fast speech, accents, technical jargon — all of this can create difficulties, especially in movies and TV shows.
When subtitles are especially needed
- When watching movies with strong accents
- When learning professional vocabulary
- In noisy environments
- For better understanding of dialogue nuances
Tip: Even if you understand speech well, try turning on subtitles sometimes — it helps catch small details and new expressions.
