Stuck in the 'subs-on' loop: moving from scripted Kannada content to real life.

I’ve been watching Kannada G-rated soaps with English subtitles for months, but the moment I turn them off, I lose the plot entirely. The dialogue is so fast and the 'Kannada connectives' they use make the sentence boundaries disappear for me. Any advice for an immersion learner who wants to bridge the gap between reading subtitles and actually parsing natural speech?
