Wow, even with subtitles vs movie audio I have a hard time not just turning it into a reading session where I forgot the voice audio is there. Maybe it's different without the visual element behind the subtitles, I'll have to give it a try.

Heck, even with English audio and Japanese subtitles, I end up reading (Japanese is my third language).
Well, it takes a habit not to read them all the time.

One thing what helps a lot is .. turning the subtitles off. Or just make the video run at the background, where you can occasionally glimpse it, but it's not your primary activity.
