Some of my classmates don't have this issue. But some do.

I think it's more related to how well you know a language. Normally, I don't require a subtitle to watch/enjoy videos from the English world. And sometimes I talk to myself in English when I'm writing code (which I think it's a English environment despite I'm a Chinese)

When learning languages, before it can be self-explanatory (like explaining an English word in English), I need to translate them into the language I know (normally, it's Chinese).

It applies to Japanese, where I catch some words from the sentences, knowing what it means in Chinese, but the whole sentence is represented in English insubtitles, which I don't translate them into Chinese anymore, the issue occurred.

I tried to learn Germany in English on duolingo, and I was perfectly fine when a Germany video had English subtitles. But still ok if it has Chinese subtitles, where my brain just gives up and doesn't care about the Germany voice. (However, I only learned about 2 weeks before I switched back to Japanese)

@trinsec
It depends. If someone is speaking English and subtitles are English, I'm fine with it.

But if someone is speaking Japanese, where I can't fully understand but do understand some words occasionally, and the subtitle is English, I find that it is extremely confusing. However, if the actress is singing like in the video, I'm ok with the subtitle since my brain can't catch the word.

It looks like 3 monitors in a row but in VR mode. It's floating somewhere and you need to move your head to see different screens, and your laptop screen can be the 4th screen.

If the space is a limitation, then this glasses is a pretty good solution. But for daily use, I'd prefer physical monitors too.

Well, you see my broken English in this toot. 😂

Tomorrow I'll ask if ChatGPT can mimic that.

Despite spen delivered a outstanding writing experience (better than Apple), I still prefer paper. But the inconvenience of bring a lot of paper and pen (Platinum 3776 with F nib, using carbon black ink which means looking for troubles) while traveling is not a happy thing to do.

Especially the carbon black ink is tricky to handle, and often clogs the pen.

In case you don't know who it is, it's OpenAl's ChatGPT. I saw people start blocking contents containing that name/word, so I decided to use the title "you know who" from the Hany Potter Series to defeat that Stupid filter.

@trinsec I found myself generally hard to follow a long series. The movie is not that hard. Usually, 2 hours would finish it. Series of movies are also fine (still takes me 2 weeks to finish harry potter, I mean, watching 3~4 movies a day, then resting for a week).

TV series and animes are pretty hard. Generally 12 episodes per season, and several seasons in total, not counting OVA or OVD or something. And I have to remember what's going on in the last episode, which is pretty hard if I didn't finish them in a sequential/continued manner.

@trinsec Yeah, even though the movie is 150 minutes it's still not long enough to get everything in it. I didn't read the book, but I do read reviews and spoilers before I watch things. In the last two movies, I think some scenes are just too hurried and I would never figure out without going through those reviews and deleted scenes.

Maybe Netflix or someone can make a series of TV shows for each book (I heard about Amazon was doing a middle-earth series), the movie is still a classic (in terms of visualizing the magical world).

@trinsec
I just watched all the movies. I also have the Middle Earth series in my queue, after a lot of animes I collected since 2019 (I rarely watch videos since then)
