    Practice Tips to Really Learn English with Movies

     Choose an interesting movie. This probably sounds obvious, but if you choose a


    boring movie, you’ll be bored. And if you’re bored, it will be difficult to pay attention for
    more than one and a half hours!
    I remember when I was a child, I had to watch hours and hours of really old movies like
    “Singing in the Rain,” “Mary Poppins” to learn English. If you don’t know these films—
    you’re welcome to check them out—they’re really old! I didn’t exactly hate them, but I didn’t
    feel excited at all when watching these films.
    And because of that, I highly recommend you choose movies you like. To do this, you can go
    to a website called Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website with many great critics and reviews
    on many tens of thousands of movies. It’s the perfect way to learn English through movies
    you love and know will be great.

     Select a movie that matches your current English level. For example, for beginners


    in English, I usually recommend you learn English through animations. The main reason is
    because the English is usually very friendly, nice and easy to understand.
    On the other hand, if you try to watch something like “Romeo and Juliet,” you will be very
    confused. Shakespearian English (which is English used many centuries ago) is very difficult
    to understand on screen, even for advanced English learners.

     Bring your dictionary. Maybe I’ll add point 3.5, too: choose a film with subtitles! So
    when you hear a word you’re interested in, check it up!
    Because you went through the trouble to understand it… you’ll be able to remember that
    word for a long time too!

     Repeat short phrases! Sometimes, you might hear something cool in the movie. For
    example, some short phrases, or slang like, “hell yeah!” or “sure thing” or “you betcha!” that
    are commonly used in English. If you like how it sounds, it really helps to repeat it! After
    saying it out loud a while, you will be able to remember it for a longer time! It’s a great and
    enjoyable exercise—one of my personal favorites.

     Watch with and without subtitles. I know it can be really challenging to watch a
    film in a foreign language without subtitles. So here’s my recommendation. When you watch
    a film the first time, just turn on subtitles. But if you get the chance to watch it a second time,
    try turning off subtitles.
    This way, you already know the story from the first time you watched it. And this time, you
    can try listening to some individual words that you might have checked up last time. Or you
    might try to see how much you can understand the film without subtitles.

     It’s okay to miss words… just let it go. Last of all, remember what we said in the
    start? Watching movies should be fun… so if you miss a word, a phrase, or even many
    sentences, that’s okay! Just follow along the subtitles and learn that way. Don’t make
    yourself feel bad… watching films is supposed to be fun!
