1_Select a movie that matches your current English level

If you are a beginner and you have just started to learn the English language, and you want to improve, the best thing to do is pick a movie written by a person of your culture who speaks English like you. You can also watch animated movies because these movies have easy English words and phrases that can easily be understood. Animated films are beneficial to learn the English language quickly.

 

2_chose the right movie.

Select the movie of your interest. The film that entertains you. If you have chosen a movie that makes you bore, you will not learn anything from it. There are different film types: romantic cinema, science fiction, action movies, documentary movies, animated movies, and many more. Chose the movie that you love to watch. If you are a fan of romantic films and start watching action movies, this will bore you, and you may not understand the movie clearly.

 

3_Aim to understand 70% of the movie

Aim to understand at least 70%.  Of the movie you select. It is not necessary to understand every word, sentence, and meaning. You may not understand the accents they are using in different situations, so you can watch the movie repeatedly to learn the things that you don't know at first watch, or you can use the technique of delayed subtitles to learn the words.

 

4_repeat your favorite lines

If you are watching a movie and suddenly like a phrase or a dialogue, repeat it repeatedly or write it down on paper. Later try to use these phrases in your daily conversations. The words used in movies are not present in any textbooks and can't be learned from any grammar book.

 

5_use subtitles the right way

Subtiles help you to learn the words you may not understand by watching due to their accents.
