Leraning English by Watching Movies

English Flicks are great media in learning English

Everyone likes watching movies, I am pretty sure about this. Besides I do believe that movies, especially English movies can help the EFL learners in improving their English. Am I right?

There are a thousands English movies available out there.They are nice media to sharpen your ability in English, they are also rich of knowledge and information for the watcher. Watching movies sounds like killing two birds with single stone, you are learning English and you give your brain break at the same time. Just go to the DVDs rental and pick up the movies you are dying to watch.

Below are some advantages of watching movies for your English.

• Watching movies can enrich your vocabulary. You may have a piece of paper and write down a new vocabulary you think important in the movie.
• You can also sound like a real native. Just repeat the line how the actors or actress say, snort not sweet child, it will work, especially to some spelling that is wrongly pronounced by EFL learners, e.g. Thought, tough, thirteen, thirty, etc.
• You can also learn how the real natives speak. How they use their gesture, mime etc.
• You can learn about the culture, for instance, table manner, how to greet someone, how they communicate etc.
• You can improve your listening ability. You'll get accustomed to native speakers' speeches by watching movies.
•  You can also learn grammar from the movies your watching. It's so true that you can find out some example for your grammar class.
• You can use some lines in the real conversation and make your word choice better. Besides it will sound awesome. 
• You can get the new idea about your linguistics task. You can even make the movies as an object of your research, for example theses, final report, art class report, or drama class.
• etc.

Hints: 

• You can play the movie over and over again, until you can memorize the words. It sounds crazy, but I apply it.  
• Use the vocabulary you've got in the movie in your writing, or speaking.
• Pay attention to lip movements of the actors or actress. It can help you to understand what they say. 
• Choose the right movie, not all the English movies are good for us (I'll talk this later)
• Don't forget to share your new knowledge you've got from the movie to everyone. This is important.

So, let's watch the movies and get all the good things from them. Do not waste your time watching something unimportant. Re-watch your old movie and make yourself good at English. Have fun!
