Watching English films and television programmes is an excellent way to practise your listening skills. Here are four tips to help you get the most out of films and TV programmes that you use to learn English.
Focus on more recent films
There are many, many classic English language films that are well worth watching for their own sake. However, if you’re watching them to improve your English, it will be much more helpful to choose films from the past few years that are set in the modern day. This will give you a good idea of the kind of language people use today! After all, it won’t help you on your next trip to Australia if you start talking like a 1970s New Yorker or a 16th - century English Queen.
Watch it with subtitles
Watching films with the English subtitles switched on can make comprehension much easier. Seeing the words appear on the screen means that you have two different ways of identifying the vocabulary you’re hearing and can be a great way to get used to the pronunciation of words you’ve only ever seen written down.
Be aware of the type of language that’s being used
People use different types of language in different situations. Words and phrases that you hear used by teenagers in a film might not be appropriate in a formal context with your boss, so keep the context in mind while you’re watching the film. Also, there are some amazing TV programmes and films about communities that use very specific slang (俚语), which you’re unlikely to hear anywhere else. For example, language used in a local show in Baltimore can be tough for anyone who’s not from Baltimore to understand, even if they’re a native English speaker.
Pick films you really want to watch
Obviously you will find it much, much easier to pick up new words and phrases if you’re really paying attention to the film. Of course, you’ll have to focus, but don’t force yourself to sit through a film that would put you to sleep in your own language. It makes sense to choose films that you find interesting and enjoyable, with stories that keep you entertained!
