Hi everyone, how's it going? I hope you're all doing great. One of you sent me a message before Recently I asked an interesting question in the comments. Should one watch movies and series Watch in German, with or without subtitles? Honestly, I think when it comes to this topic There are more myths than facts. Many language learners are convinced that subtitles should be used as little as possible. should be turned off quickly. You often hear sentences like, if you want to learn German, You have to watch series without subtitles. Sounds logical, but what does the research actually say? Exactly that's what we're talking about today. And if you don't know me, my name is Mohaddese. I am from Iran and I am a German teacher. I live in Germany and in this channel Let's talk about various topics in German and try to improve our language skills through To improve listening, watching, speaking, and enjoying. If you're interested in such content Hey, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel and like the videos. Thank you! Before we begin, I'd like to ask you a question. How do you normally perceive Germans? Movies and series? With German subtitles? With subtitles in your native language? Or without any at all? Without subtitles? Please write it in the comments. Let's start with subtitles in the native language. Let's assume you are learning German and watching a German series with Persian subtitles. English or Turkish subtitles. The great advantage is obvious. You understand the The plot is much easier. You don't have to keep stopping, looking up words, or guessing what Just said. Now we move on to German subtitles, and here it gets interesting. Many Current studies show that subtitles in the target language are beneficial for most language learners. The best solution is. Why? Because you simultaneously hear and read. Your brain connects the External language with the spelling. You hear a word, you read the word, you understand the word. That way, it often sticks much better. Additionally, you discover some expressions or idioms. and words that might not have even caught your attention when simply listening. But what about Films without subtitles? Aren't they the best method? The answer is not necessarily. If Since you already have a very high level, this could be an excellent exercise, because in real life Life, after all, doesn't come with subtitles. If, however, you still have relatively many difficulties When you're trying to understand, it can quickly become frustrating. Imagine you only understand 20 or Thirty percent of a film, then you're not necessarily training your listening comprehension. You spend a lot spend another two hours being confused. And precisely here, a rule comes into play, which I personally find very sensible. The so-called 70 to 80 percent rule. If you You are in an ideal state if you understand approximately 70 to 80 percent of what you hear. Learning area. The material is neither too easy nor too difficult. Your brain understands it. enough to follow the content while still leaving plenty of new words and structures to learn. If, on the other hand, you understand only 20 percent, the film is probably still too Difficult. And if you understand 100 percent, you probably won't learn much more either. Lots of news. Therefore, I would recommend the following for most language learners. If you If you're at A1 or A2 level, watch German movies and series with German subtitles. If at all possible nothing is understandable, you can first watch with subtitles in your native language Watch the same episode again later with German subtitles. If you're at B1 level or B2 level, German subtitles are your best option. You simultaneously practice vocabulary, Listening comprehension and spoken language. It is precisely in this area that most learners benefit the most. stark from subtitles in the target language. If you are already at C1 or higher, then you can many contents can be watched effortlessly without subtitles. Nevertheless, even native speakers sometimes use them. Subtitles, for example, in dialects, poor audio quality, or complex documentaries. It is therefore by no means a sign of weakness. The real question, therefore, is not whether or without subtitles, but do I understand enough for learning to take place at all? That is far more important, for the best material is not the most difficult, but the material that is yours demands, without overwhelming you. What kind of sentence did I say? By the way, many people ask me about Every now and then, which German series and films are actually suitable for learning German? Therefore, today I would like to give you a few recommendations for different proficiency levels. What's important is the best series is not necessarily the most exciting or the most well-known series, but the one A series that you can understand mostly. If you understand only 20 percent, you often learn less. as you think. But if you understand, for example, 70 to 80 percent, you are in a ideal learning environment. For beginners at the A1 or A2 level, I would initially not recommend standard I recommend German series.
