Language Learning for Hearing Impaired

Are you using LIngQ? If the video has subtitles, import into LingQ and work through the transcript. Then go back and watch the video, try to listening and watch the speakers.
Not sure if you are familiar with the Easy Spanish youtube channel, but it would have some good content and facing speakers for sure.

Thanks for the tips! I'm not familiar with Easy Spanish, I will definitely check it out. It sounds like a great place to start. Watching camera-facing speakers is my best bet. Once I'm more comfortable with Spanish the lip reading with happen naturally over time, I just need listening practice that is audio and visual.

I cheat and repeat lessons a lot. I read, listen and see the translation. After a lot of repetition, I'm trying each part separately (read, then see translation, then hear). I'm tending towards hgetting help to understand the language and then reading and hearing for practice. Your notion of cheating might not be helpful.

"Cheating" was just a joke. :) If it helps me learn, there is no cheating!
I'm just struggling with listening comprehension. I listen as much with my eyes as I do my ears. Listening to audio only with the translation in front of me isn't helping me learn to lip read these new sounds and words. I need to get to a point where I can have a conversation with an actual person, and that means lip reading.
With YouTube videos I'm not familiar with the content as I am with the LingQ lessons, so I keep subtitles on. Keeping subtitles on means I'm looking at the subtitles, not the speaker, so it is not improving my lip reading skills.
I'm sure I'll find a method that works, I'm just struggling with it right now and thought I might find some help here.
