Watching foreign movies or TV series with native subtitles is definitely a good medium for foreign languages learning. But what if there are no subtitles in the downloaded movies and episodes? 🎬

Many people are traditionally prone to downloading separate subtitle files alongside with corresponding videos. So, why not consider merging them into one? 😎 That way you don't have to manage separate subtitle files or worry about compatibility issues on any devices.

Agree? Now I'll walk you through the process of attaching subtitles to your movies or TV episodes for a seamless viewing experience. 🍿
