Working with a movie

Why watching movies in order to learn English ?

One way to perfect your English is to watch lots of movies. By repeatedly watching movies with native English speakers, you will pick up slang terms that you are unlikely to learn in a classroom setting. In addition, listening to native speakers will help you to improve your accent, and will also help to train your ear. This technique can definitely work if you are willing to put in the time and effort.It also will help you improving your reading and spelling abilities.

7 Steps of how to learn English through watching movies:

1.   Choose a movie that interests you with English Subtitles.
2.   Watch each movie at least twice, back-to-back if possible. The second time through,
      turn off the subtitles.
3.   Rewind the movie whenever you encounter a line of dialogue or unfamiliar phrase to help
      you fully understand it and master the pronunciation.
4.   Stop the movie whenever you find new vocabulary.
5.   Stop the movie and write down useful phrases.
6.   After the movie create your own pictionary
7.   Create your multiple choice quiz.
