How to use Portuguese subtitles for listening

An example

Watch a short cooking clip. First identify the action, then read the caption and check a useful word such as sal (salt). Replay the same sentence while looking at the picture, not the text.

What to notice

If you read every word before hearing it, you may understand the text without identifying the sounds. If the captions are wrong, use the audio and context and look for another recording.

Try it

Try three passes: watch for meaning, check captions for one unclear sentence, and watch again without captions. Select a short passage that you can follow; do not pause after every word.
