Have you ever watched a show with subtitles?
I have a hard time watching “dubbed” over shows, because the words never line up with the video, and my brain can’t unsee it when it happens.
Plus, when you hear the original voices and then the dubbed ones, your brain also goes – “those original voices are so much better than these other ones, I like them better”.
But then, to understand what is being said, if you don’t know the language, you need to turn the subtitles on.
And what do the subtitles make you do?
They make you read, because if you don’t, you don’t know what is happening.
And if you’re having to read, you’re having to pay attention.
