Aren translation subtitles “cheating”?
As the learner, you have full control. You can turn off (or on) either set of subtitles by clicking the small button to the right of each caption box, depending on your needs at any given time. Full translations give early learners the benefit of exposure to true native content without the accompanying frustration of severe incomprehension. Studies have shown that translation availability enables 2nd language acquisition in beginners.
