Enhancing English Skills Through Movies

morning teacher can you help me I have  a question about something you said previously Peter hello about something  I said earlier okay what is your question yeah well in fact it was with  something you said in a video teacher about learning English with movies I know it  is a good method but I don't know how to do it well yeah you're right movies are  a great tool to learn and improve   your English but many students don't know  how to do it well don't worry I will help you I so many students had problems with the  subtitles use subtitles wisely use subtitles   to help you understand subtitles can  be a great tool for learning English   start by watching with subtitles in your  native language to understand the story   then switch to English subtitles this will  help you match the spoken words with the text finally try watching without any subtitles  to test your understanding don't rely too much   on subtitles they are a tool to help not to  replace listening practice use them as a step   bystep guide to improve your listening skills  that's the correct way also repeat and Rewind   when you hear a new word or phrase pause  the movie or series rewind and listen to it again this helps you understand  how it is pronounced and used in a sentence you can also repeat the  lines out loud to practice your resp   skills if a sin is difficult to understand watch  it several times repetition helps you remember and   get comfortable with new vocabulary and phrases  what else focus on everyday conversations very important movies and series often show how  people talk in real life they use everyday   language and common Expressions focus on how  characters greet each other ask questions and respond notice the phrases they use in different  situations this helps you learn practical language that you can use in Daily conversations  write down any new words or phrases you hear   and practice using them and this leads  me to the next tip practice speaking and imitating listening is important  but speaking is also crucial try   to imitate the way characters speak  repeat their lines and mimic their   pronunciation and intonation this  practice helps you improve your AC and speaking fluency you can even  record yourself and compareed to the original speaking out loud helps you  get used to the sounds and rhythms of English what else explore different genes  don't just stick to one type of movie or series   explore different generes like  drama comedy science fiction and documentaries why well each gener  and has its own style of language and vocabulary for example comedies often use   jokes and his Lang while dramas  might have more formal language watching a variety helps you learn  a wider range of vocabulary and expressions oh and do not watch video  without first doing this thing set learning goals decide what you want to achieve with each  movie or series it could be learning 10 new words   and understanding the main plot or improving  your pronunciation having clear goals helps you focus and measure your progress write  down your goals and check them after watching setting small achievable goals  keeps you motivated and makes your learning   more effective and something that helps  many of my students is discuss what you watched after watching a movie or series  discuss it with friends family or a language partner talk about the plot characters  and your favorite sins explain what you   liked or didn't like why because this helps  you practice speaking English and using new vocabulary discussing the content helps reinforce  what you learn and improves your ability to   express your thoughts something that I didn't  mention before but you can do it is use online resources many movies and series have  websites or fan page that provide summaries character descriptions and  discussion forums I am in many of these   forums they are great use these resources to get  more information about what you watched it's very   useful reading summaries and fan discussions  in English helps you understand the plot better and learn how other people  talk about movie or serious discussion it's a good way to practice  reading and expand your vocabulary so do it please now it's also important to watch at your  own pace yeah it is okay to take your time you   don't need to understand everything right away  watch at the Bas that is comfortable for you if   a movie or episode is too difficult you can pause  rewind or even watch it in smaller parts learning   a language takes time and it's important to  go at a speed that helps you understand I   enjoy the process very important rewatch  favorites if you have a favorite movie or   episode watch it again each time you watch you  will notice new details and better understand the language rewatching helps reinforce what you  learned and makes the language more familiar it's also more enjoyable because you  already like the content which makes   learning feels less like a task and more like  fun oh don't forget to write about what you watched after watching a movie or series  write a short summary or review in English describe the plot characters and your  thoughts about it writing helps you practice using new vocabulary and expressing  your ideas clearly you can also write down new words and phrases you learned this practice   improves your writing skills and  helps you remember what you learned I could give you more tips about how to  learn English with movies but we don't have time but if you want another video  about
