TRANSCRIPTION METHOD
Step 1: Initial Listening
1. Watch the video or listen to the audio file without subtitles.
2. Write down everything you hear, word for word.
3. Listen to each line as many times as necessary. This is an exercise in concentration, not speed.
Step 2: Review and Correct
1. Compare your transcription with the subtitles provided in the video.
2. Correct any mistakes in your transcription.
3. While correcting, listen again to the parts you found challenging until you understand them completely.
Step 3: Check Understanding
1. Refer to the English translation to check if you have understood correctly.
2. Note down new words and phrases in a notebook or Anki (or similar software) for review.
Step 4: Reinforcement
1. Re-watch the video several times over the next few days.
2. Aim to understand everything instantly, without pausing, subtitles, or translating in your head.
Key Points to Remember:
- This is not a speed exercise; focus on concentration.
- Use dictionaries to look up words you don’t understand until you exhaust all possibilities.
- Don’t give up easily; persistence is key.
