{"product_id":"subtitles-on","title":"Subtitles On","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatching shows, playing podcasts and listening to music in another language can teach you a lot, or almost nothing.

It shows you how to match shows, podcasts and songs to your level with a two-minute 98% check, when to use subtitles in your language, in the target language or not at all, how to turn listening into speaking with shadowing, and how to keep the sentences you meet with spaced review. A 12-week plan with progress checks against CEFR levels ties it together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery recommendation is grounded in published research on vocabulary coverage, captions and subtitles, and spaced practice, with authors and years cited and a dated References page. It's tool-agnostic and honest about the limits: realistic hour estimates from the U.S. Foreign Service Institute and Cambridge English, and no promises of fluency in a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults learning any language on their own, from beginner to intermediate, who want to learn from real shows, music and podcasts with a structure that shows whether it's working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Media Ladder:\u003c\/strong\u003e five rungs from learner material to native-speed TV, plus the 98% check that tells you which shows and podcasts fit your level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Subtitle Dial:\u003c\/strong\u003e when to use subtitles in your language, in the target language or none, what the research found for each, and a quick decision tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Episode Loop and shadowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e a one-hour routine that turns any episode into listening, sentence and speaking practice, with podcast and song versions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSentences and spaced review:\u003c\/strong\u003e the one-new-thing rule, a sample card, and four rules that keep reviews under control in any flashcard app or a paper box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA 12-week plan with 6 worksheets and a quick-reference card,\u003c\/strong\u003e including daily menus for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, a sample week, and progress checks at weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37-page PDF (US Letter, US edition), plus Immersion-Tracker.xlsx, a spreadsheet with an hours log and weekly totals, a media list by rung, a sentence bank and progress charts.
