1 Three misunderstandings in learning English by watching movies 1. Just pay attention to the plot, watch it once and throw it away.
Compared with boring English textbooks, movies and TV plays have a compact rhythm and ups and downs, which can arouse our interest most. However, when it comes to a new movie, curiosity drives us to pay attention to the plot instinctively, not the language itself. It's just that even if most people watch a lot of movies, they just pay attention to the surface of the plot. After watching the excitement, they have no intention to understand and digest the authentic expression.
2. Overreliance on Chinese subtitles
You must have had the same experience. No matter what movie you watch, you always want to stare at the small Chinese subtitles at the bottom of the screen, for fear of accidentally understanding the deviation. You can't live without subtitles. However, for language learning, Chinese subtitles are like baby walker. With the help of mother tongue, the brain will subconsciously? Lazy? Accustomed to understanding and processing the received information with mother tongue thinking, it is more difficult for learners to jump out of the original thinking mode and learn a new language.
3. download the script and read it through.
Some people have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so it is really commendable to try their best to download the whole movie lines from the internet and recite them all. However, this method is not necessarily worth popularizing widely. It is not only difficult to recite the whole story, but also easy to forget. The dialogue of the protagonists in film and television dramas is mainly oral life, which is of little significance. The most important thing is to learn to use these paragraphs carefully in order to achieve true expression.
What is the correct way to learn English by watching movies? 1. Reduce the dependence on subtitles
As mentioned above, learning a foreign language is more about learning the culture and thinking behind the language. Try to block the Chinese subtitles at the bottom of the screen and immerse yourself in English. Even if you don't understand something, don't be too nervous. Understanding and feeling with English thinking is the first step in language learning.
Choose the right movie
Entertainment and leisure can be freely chosen according to your hobbies, but if you want to use American dramas and movies as materials for learning English, you need to choose the right movies. After all, not all movies are suitable for learning English. Just like the popular Game of Thrones in recent years, although the plot is fascinating, even if you recite the incantations inside, there is not much room for you to play in your life and workplace, right? We might as well choose some movies with lively plots, relaxed atmosphere and simple and practical language style.
3. Review and analyze the selected paragraphs repeatedly
It is better to learn English by watching movies, but not too much. Instead of swallowing ten movies, it is better to pick out the highlights and analyze them repeatedly. If you watch a movie for the first time to appreciate the plot, then you should focus on it when you watch it later. When you see an authentic expression, you can write it down in a notebook. When you encounter new words that the protagonist often uses but doesn't understand, remember to turn off the subtitles and listen to them several times. I believe your listening will be greatly improved soon!
4. Practice more and learn to use it.
It is not enough to write a good expression in a notebook. What's the use of writing if you don't look back once? Only by speaking more and practicing more, and applying accumulated expressions to life, can you truly become yourself!
