Shadowing Practice: A2 English Listening Practice - Using Subtitles - Learn English Speaking with Video

Let's talk about using subtitles when you're learning English.

So you can probably already notice that this video has subtitles.

This isn't something that I have been doing recently.

I've been making videos without subtitles,

but I'm going to start creating videos with subtitles that are AI-generated.

So I pay to have this tool that can do this for me.

So it might not be 100% correct all the time,

but I'm hoping it will be like 97, 98% correct, 99% perhaps.

So I hope that you like this.

I'm going to talk about why I'm doing this.

And I want to talk about using subtitles in general.

So first of all, why am I doing this?

Why am I starting to make videos with subtitles again?

Well first of all, many people ask for subtitles.

And yes, there is the YouTube generated,

the automatic subtitles from YouTube.

But for some reason, a lot of people just don't like this

or they don't want to click on the little button and choose the language and all of that.

So a lot of people don't like that or they just don't trust YouTube auto-generated subtitles.

Honestly, they're pretty good.

So you can try them out on other videos that don't have subtitles and you can see for yourself.

I find that they're pretty good,

but many people prefer to have the subtitles on the screen.

And so that's why I'm doing this.

And people have expressed that they really like the long videos that I've done for the past,

I don't know how long it's been,

but I've been doing them for a while.

And these are the videos that people get more excited about because they can see my face.

people like seeing me for some reason,

and they get more views when I first publish them.

But really, the videos that I've made that have helped the most people,

it seems, are my videos with subtitles dedicated to different levels,

like A1, A2, B1, those listening videos,

they still get tons and tons of views.

Not all of them, but the older ones still generate many views over the months and years.

Some of them have in the millions, actually.

Not many of them, but a few of them.

So those seem to be the videos that really help the most people,

even though some people, they don't need the subtitles,

they don't want the subtitles.

The thing is, if you don't want the subtitles,

you can simply ignore them.

That's something that's possible, even though you think that having them on the screen distracts you.

Maybe that might be true for some of you,

but I can't please everyone.

There will always be some people

that aren't completely satisfied with the choices I make in terms of how I make my videos,

but I figured that I should start using these subtitles so that

all the people that need subtitles can have them

and hopefully the people

that don't want them can simply cover them up put something there to cover them

or just not look at them that's probably the easiest thing to do

and I've watched videos where I put the subtitles on but I don't look at them unless I need them,

unless I don't understand something.

It's possible, folks.

So hopefully this will be the best solution for my videos in the future to reach more people,

help more people, and hopefully you guys still enjoy these types of videos.

I think I'm going to make them a little shorter,

possibly 15 minutes or so.

And I don't know what I'll talk about yet.

Maybe mostly language learning stuff, possibly some other things.

But regardless of the topic,

the goal is still to provide interesting content for you to practice your listening.

and I'm showing my face so you can see me.

People really like this format.

So I'm gonna continue to do it like this, I think.

I could change, obviously, but I'll probably make videos like this one.

And let me know if you like this type of subtitling where it kind of shows you

which word I'm saying in the moment.

I think most people like that.

It kind of helps them follow along better,

but I'm sure with the tool I'm using,

there might be options where it doesn't do that,

where it just shows the words and it doesn't show you where I am in the phrase or whatever.

So let me know.

Leave a comment down below and tell me what you think about these subtitles.

And I'm sure some of you will comment and say you don't like having subtitles on the video.

I'm sorry.

Again, I can't please everyone.

I would just say that you can try to cover them or not look at them.

I've done this plenty of times.

It's possible.

So how should you use subtitles when learning English?

Well, let me talk in general,

not just about my content, but in general.

First of all, a great way to do this is to repeat the video multiple times.

The way that I've talked about the most,

I think, is watching the video the first time without the subtitles to see how much you can understand.

And then you watch the second time with the subtitles so you can see which words you didn't get.

and then the third time without subtitles to try to understand everything this time without reading them.

So you can do it that way,

or perhaps you just listen or watch twice the first time with the subtitles,

just to try to get everything.

And then the second time without subtitles,

to try to get everything without seeing the words.

So you can do this in a number of ways,

but the goal is to eventually understand the video without the subtitles.

Okay, so with a video like this one,

you would watch it maybe not looking at the subtitles,

100

just looking at my face,

101

and then the second time looking at the subtitles,

102

and the third time looking at my face again,

103

or cover the subtitles if you prefer.

104

You can do it that way.

105

If there's a video that doesn't have subtitles on YouTube,

106

you can use the YouTube auto-generated subtitles.

107

They work.

108

I use them.

109

So you can watch without the subtitles and then activate those subtitles and then turn them off again however you want.

110

But using repetition is a good way to practice your listening and see what you can understand,

111

what was hard for you to understand,

112

and then eventually understand everything without the subtitles.

113

So that's one tip.

114

Another tip is that you can just look at the subtitles when you can't understand a word.

115

I like this tip here.

116

Like you can watch this video and just look at my face.

117

And when I say something that's not completely clear to you,

118

or maybe there's a phrase or a word I use that you're not familiar with,

119

then you look down and you see what it is that I said.

120

And that's a great way to use them.

121

And it's pretty simple and it helps you train without subtitles,

122

but then use the subtitles to help you get what you couldn't understand

123

or see the new word that I used, etc. Right.

124

That's a great way to use them.

125

You can also use subtitles for,

126

I guess I'll call it targeted listening practice.

127

So you notice which patterns you can't understand.

128

Let me explain this.

129

If you can understand something when it's written down,

130

but you can't understand it when you just hear it without seeing it,

131

that means that you know the word or you know the phrase,

132

but you can't understand it well.

133

It's not a new phrase for you,

134

but you can't understand it.

135

This means

136

that you have a good opportunity to see what the difference is between what you're expecting to hear

137

and how native speakers actually say the phrase.

138

So when you use subtitles,

139

for example, you can watch without looking at the subtitles

140

and then you can't understand something and then you look down and you say,

141

huh, why couldn't I understand that?

142

I know that phrase.

143

And And then you repeat,

144

you rewind the video, and you train with that phrase.

145

You listen multiple times to see how a native speaker actually says that phrase.

146

So you're targeting the things that you can't understand and then seeing why you couldn't understand it,

147

what you were expecting to hear,

148

and then you see how it really sounds.

149

So that can help you notice and better understand different patterns in English.

150

So that's something that could be useful for you.

151

you can do the same thing for pronunciation practice.

152

So when that happens, you can,

153

like I said, rewind the video,

154

watch it again, listen multiple times to hear how a native speaker says it,

155

and then you can replicate that with your own,

156

you know, saying it yourself.

157

So you You practice your listening and your pronunciation in that way.

158

You are noticing how things really sound and then you try to say it the way that native speakers say it.

159

So this can be good for listening and pronunciation.

160

And then lastly, you can use subtitles when you're just watching content for pleasure.

161

Let's say it's the end of the day,

162

you want to watch something for entertainment,

163

and instead of watching the show in your own language or the video in your own language,

164

you watch it in English.

165

This can be hard, but if you put the subtitles on,

166

you can understand it much better probably.

167

During this time, if you're just watching something for pleasure after a long day of work,

168

then you probably just want to watch it and not rewind it and take all these notes and things like that.

169

You just watch the content,

170

but you have the subtitles on and you're practicing in that

171

you probably won't understand everything

172

but the subtitles will make it easier for you to just enjoy

173

that show that video or whatever and so in

174

that case there's nothing you should really do you should just relax

175

and enjoy it but you're getting some English practice and because of the subtitles,

176

you might be able to understand enough to just enjoy the show or enjoy the video or whatever it is.

177

So that's another thing that you can do.

178

Alright, I hope that you liked this format of video with the subtitles.

179

Leave a comment down below and let me know if this style of subtitles is good or whatever.

180

I don't know exactly what I'm going to be doing and talking about.

181

And I assume, like I said,

182

I'll just make videos that are like this,

183

a little shorter than I've been making them recently, but with subtitles.

184

And I don't know what I'll title these videos,

185

maybe intermediate English listening practice, or I don't know.

186

But we'll see.

187

I just wanted to make a video talking about subtitles to introduce this new era of videos

188

that I hope to make and to give you some tips.

189

And of course, as always,

190

remember to check out my advanced podcast episodes in which I speak fast and check out my U.S.

191

Conversations podcast in which I talk to different people from around the country.

192

It's a lot of fun and it's great practice for you

193

because you practice with my authentic conversations that I have with other native speakers.

194

So both of those links are down below.

195

Alright, thank you for watching this video and I'll talk to you in the next one.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
