How to use captions for language immersion?

Captions can be a powerful tool for language immersion. By watching foreign-language videos or movies with captions in the target language, learners can improve their listening and reading skills simultaneously. To use captions effectively for language immersion, it's important to choose content that matches your level of proficiency and interests, and to actively engage with the captions. This means reading and listening for meaning, pausing the video to look up unfamiliar words or phrases, and repeating sections to reinforce learning. Additionally, using subtitles in the target language during everyday activities like listening to music or podcasts can also help to immerse learners in the language.
