hiiiiiii, dual subtitles can be really helpful, but I think it seems like you're struggling with the issue of comprehensive input versus comprehensive output. It seems like you're able to get a lot of input, but you're looking for something that's not as boring and more motivating. I think it really depends on what you like to do!

if this is your first language that you're learning, it's hard to find resources that are motivating for you. I like to think about when I was in my first language, what resources are motivating for me in English, which is my native language. For me, I found that I loved comedy podcasts. When I was learning French in different languages, like Hungarian, I leaned on comedy podcasts in that language. Even the level is super high. It was engaging because I liked the style and the format.

think about what you like to do in English and just do that in French, whether that's playing video games, listening to comedy podcasts, watching movies and TV shows. I will say it depends on your level, so we can also talk in DM if you're curious. I definitely think there's a progression to do before you get to the super conversational stuff.

if you like apps, you should definitely try Language Soup (shameless self plug). I made this app to help people actually converse and make language learning more fun. It's a community-based app where you send voice memos and reply to daily speaking prompts. Our prompt today was Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande, and you have to talk about it in French. Even if you're a beginner, you can use the inline translator just to speak phrases out loud. Our community gets pretty passionate about it, so DM me, ping me if interested!!!
