Dutch subtitles
In Belgium, you have the opportunity to watch the "Travel Channel" in American English. If you choose the Dutch package, Belgacom TV offers you Dutch subtitles (given the price charged, the word "offer" is quite misleading ;=)).
This way, I listen to magazines spoken in English while reading the translation in Dutch. It's a perilous exercise very demanding in terms of concentration but it's quite efficient. I watched "Bizarre Foods America" several times for fun... Thankfully, this magazine about junk food is broadcast just before dinner time (Belgium). After seeing the most unbelievable street foods in America you are not hungry anymore. However, there is more good news: for the same price you can learn two languages at once while dieting!
