The past two weeks, I decided to watch a drama to further my learning process of listening and comprehension skills. Usually, when I watch a drama, I tend to read the English subtitles because I can not check up with what is going on. I looked up on Google for a popular drama, and found that Descendants of the Sun was the top drama on many people’s list (it was on Netflix). Thus, I began watching the drama and only turning on subtitles, when I did not understand what was being said. This allowed me to immerse myself in the language without having subtitles as a default.
The only downside to is that the subtitles can be wrong sometimes so I did not just focus on the subtitles for translation but I also utilized Naver to translate the words/phrases I had trouble on.
I think that this is a good way to strengthen one’s listening and comprehension skills because when learning a language, consistently listening to it is a strong way to understanding it.
