Last week I started my series on watching the film "Never let me go" without the subtitles – that's our ultimate goal. We talked about feeling good about the film, even if you have to watch it initially with subtitles.

It's not your fault because I likened watching a film to being kicked out of a helicopter in the middle of nowhere and trying to find your way back to civilisation.

Movie dialogue is tough and very different to watching a TV series, where you know each week what's going to happen, you're familiar with the characters and the way they speak etc. A film is very different to that. It's ok for that to be hard because there are ways to fix it.

Today we're going to talk in a bit more detail about concrete ways to fix the problem.

I'd like to start off by inviting you to my subtitle freedom club on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/subti...

That's where we're having discussions about the book and film, book and film combinations in general, and how to enjoy films more without the subtitles – by reading books and plays before you watch the film.
