I am in agreement. I watched 5 seasons of Un Village Français on Netflix.fr while in Belgium this summer, with French subtitles for the deaf(and not word-for-word of what was said), and I felt like I had quite a jump in my listening skills. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

The best thing then is to get rid of the subtitles totally :-)
It feels scary at first, so starting with something already known may be a good idea, but it is a great relief in the end. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Komma
Welcome Komma and good luck! Buffy Thanks everyone for your replies. I will pursue with using the series I have as I'm happy with that. Yeah, I think it appears that I don't necessarily 'need' Buffy as I have plenty to keep me occupied. I'm not ready/wanting to just yet tho to get rid of all subtitles as I've barely got much use out of reading them in French and I'm quite enjoying it as a new learning activity that's like reading with translated audio in the background- It's motivating and sth different, so Cavesa I'm a little ways off ditching them altogether yet, but tnx anyway :) Once i'm tired of it or even feel I know an episode well enough I will try with French audio as well, or French audio only. Thanks again peoples (pronounced 'pee-opp-lees' I think you'll find) PS Where you at Jeffers? Hope you're ok mate 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I remembered having a few of these as a kid for just kinding of learning general knowledge
miscellany and there they were in the French bookstore! I bought a pack for ages 12 and 11 and they have been great. I find these a very relaxing/enjoyable way to feel like I am working on my French. They include little questions on history, spelling and grammar, geography, arts, etc. and the anwser on the next card. Voila! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Peter, I'm sure you'll do fine whichever way you find the best :-) one of the things I love abou ditching subtitles
is having much smaller trouble finding something to watch. I am now experiencin the trouble again with my boyfriend who needs English subtitles to the movies, that is the only way to avoid Czech dubbing or subtitles with him now. And it is hard to find what we want :-) Plumbem, thanks for the tip. I find school textbooks for native kids and teenagers to be awesome studytools but they are usually hard to come by. Even the libraries don't have them often. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm okay PM, thanks for asking. I've been snowed under with work and things, and then I couldn't get on HTLAL this week (explained a bit more on my log). I had posted on here at the beginning of March, but it looks like the old dinosaur that is HTLAL dropped a load of posts. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Jeffers - so glad to see you posting again!
All - I think we agreed to do an output challenge for March (I think the posts disappeared while the forum was down), and I failed miserably. In reading some peoples logs, it seems like motivation has been low of late. How about something fun for April? Maybe learning the words to a song -- and/or cooking a Francophone dish?? Thoughts for an April challenge! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

PM, t'as une PM.
Cavesa , est-ce que tu es complètement comfortable sans sous-titres? Même pour les séries et les comédies dont le langage est le plus familier? Comment s'est produite cette transition? 2 persons have voted this message useful |
