German Immersion
Note: I recommend not reading subtitles while watching the videos. If they’re hardcoded into the video, try to ignore them or, if that’s difficult, cover them with a window or a piece of paper on your screen.
When you rely on subtitles, your brain learns to depend on them instead of developing a complete phonetic model of the language. In the real world, there are no subtitles.
