Why “Just Watch English Movies” Doesn’t Work
If you want to improve your English, just watching movies in English doesn’t work. Watching movies is a passive activity. Learning is active and requires a different level of engagement. Am I saying that you’re probably not watching movies “the right way”? I know that sounds funny, but if you don’t have a strategy and the right mentality, you will waste a lot of time just staring at a screen and not learning much at all. So, watch this video to learn how to engage with media and use it as a language learning tool. Spoiler: It means pausing, rewinding, and actually taking notes! Also, leave a comment and let me know about your experience with English movies.Levels

Hello dear teacher Alex, I hope you are doing great today.
Yes the lesson is very useful for me.
I appreciate it.
Dear Alex, congratulations! I have been frustrated watching English movies. Slang, everyday English, badly spoken by some actors, without subtitles, was a catastrophe for me as a learner. Thank you so much for your excellent introduction how to use movies! Perhaps I will try again.
