Films provide more than just entertainment.For many people,watching English films is a way to develop language skills.While watching a film,you are immersed(沉浸在)in the language and can pick up new expressions that you might not find in a textbook.Some difficulties can arise when watching English films—for example,unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents.With this in mind,here are my tips to help you make progress in English learning while enjoying the films.
Choose a film genre(类型) that you enjoy.
If you like action films,watch an action film—for example Indiana Jones.If you prefer comedies,watch a comedy—anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh!It's simple enough,but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language,you're more likely to enjoy it in English.
Choose something that you are familiar with.
It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of understanding the film.Disney films such as The Lion King,or the more recently released Tangled,are classic examples.Other cartoons such as Up and The Lego Movie are also worth a watch.
Ask friends for advice
Perhaps you have friends who have already seen English film? If so, they may be able to recommend one.
If you need to,use the English subtitles
Subtitles are very helpful for beginners.Using subtitles in your own language is the easiest choice,but for more advanced learners why not consider using English subtitles? This way,you can match the written subtitles to the words spoken on screen.It helps you to develop your language further.
