What is your opinion on the best way to watch a movie or TV series in your target language and why? Do you watch using subtitles in the target language, in your main language or don't use them at all and just try to listen in and catch what's being said?
As for me, I'm studying Chinese so 99% of the material has hard-coded Chinese subtitles. I avoid using English ones, but find myself not paying attention to what I'm watching, but only reading into what's appearing on the bottom of the screen... And they speak rather fast...
As for Russian or any other language, I just listen in. Might or might not put English subtitles, but only to grasp the concept quicker.
What do you do and what would you advise?
I know that the second part of the character is used to form a result complement, but I don't know how to understand the meaning fully.
If 看 means "to look" and 看见 means "to see(saw)", what does 看到 mean? Same goes for the 听 "to listen" compound.
And what about the meaning of the other result complements with: 住, 对, 错 etc. How is the meaning there determined?
I am such a beginner with this language and I know that complements shouldn't be among the first things I learn, but not being able to form the sentences I want to form, really bothers me... -_-
Thank you for the healp in advance! :)
