- Don´t use subtitles! Turn subtitles off if they appear automatically!
You can have a look at subtitles or the script after 3-4 times you have listened to the same talk, to check the bits you didn´t understand. If you use subtiltes the first time you listen it´s a reading, not a listening exercise and you don´t train your ear!
