How to approach learning foreign TV series for language improvement?

29 Eki 07:45

I'm trying to build a routine around watching foreign TV series to boost my language skills, but I'm not sure which method works best overall. Should I start with series that have native subtitles, or use bilingual subtitles from the beginning? How do you balance passive watching with active note‑taking, and what frequency of re‑watching helps retention? Do you recommend mixing genres to keep motivation up, or sticking to one style until you feel comfortable? Any general strategies or tools that have helped you stay consistent would be great. 😊
