hello this is jack from tofluency.com and welcome to this new style of english
0:06
lesson well for me anyway where we now have a blackboard we also
0:11
have chalk which means I'm going to start writing things down for you and
0:16
now I can stand up and give these lessons like this
0:20
so if you are new here welcome and also go into the description and click the
0:27
link for my book and you can download this book for free it's called the five
0:32
step plan for English fluency now today we're going to talk about five ways in
0:39
which you can better learn English through watching television and I
0:45
imagine that you are already watching the television in English now or at
0:49
least watching videos in English like this one and TV is a great way for you
0:56
to learn but a lot of people they watch movies in English and they feel really
1:02
disappointed because they can't understand anything they want to be able
1:09
to enjoy watching movies in English but they can't because it's too difficult so
1:14
tip number one is to find TV shows and find movies that's are understandable
1:24
okay things that are understandable things that you can understand because
1:31
again if it's too difficult you're not going to get anything out of it you're
1:36
not going to enjoy it so two ways you can find more things that you can
1:41
understand firstly watch something that you've already watched in your native
1:46
language or watch a movie where you've already read the book in your native
1:52
language that way you can understand the general plot the general idea of what is
1:59
happening so watch something that you've already seen before and secondly find TV
2:05
shows and movies that are easier to understand so this might be children's
2:10
TV shows or movies that have been made for children and the family in mind and
2:16
again this is important because there's a hypothesis called the zero plus one
2:22
hypothesis where you take your level and you find materials that are just above
2:29
your level so that you learn new things but you also can enjoy what you're doing
2:34
at the same time so my first request of you is to in the comment section below
2:43
leave TV shows and movies that you think are suitable for intermediate learners
2:50
of English so anyone who who has a b1 or
2:54
b2 level of English so please do that in the comment section below to help other
3:00
people and be sure to read the comments to find some movies and TV shows that
3:04
are suitable for you tip number two is this subtitles now do you think that you
3:13
should turn on subtitles in English or your native language so you're watching
3:19
a TV show in English should you turn subtitles on in English or you or your
3:25
native language or not at all I'm going to give you the answer in three two one
3:32
studies have shown that it's best to turn on subtitles in English this is
3:40
going to help your comprehension and it's going to help you learn new
3:44
vocabulary now this might not be for everyone but again a study showed that
3:49
is it's better to turn the subtitles on in English and this way you can learn
3:56
more English as you're watching and you're listening in reading at the same
4:01
time and I'll leave a link to that study in the description but let me know what
4:07
you think about that as well do you turn on subtitles when you watch TV shows and
4:11
movies in English let me know tip number three it's to use the pause and repeat
4:19
method the pause and repeat method now if you follow me for any amount of time
4:26
you'll know how much I like repeating things in English so I have a method called the L
4:36
r RC method and this is where you listen to something in English you repeat it
4:42
you record your version and then you compare L R RC a simple way of doing
4:49
this is just when you're watching a TV show or a movie you pause it and you
4:55
repeat what somebody said and you can just do this throughout the movie or TV
5:00
show and if you have subtitles turned on then you'll be able to read what has
5:06
just been said so that will help you with this method so you can pause and
5:13
then repeat what you hear while you're watching the movie tip number four s RS
5:21
s RS what does s RS mean it means spaced
5:26
repetition software spaced repetition software my favorite app here is called
5:35
Anki Anki I actually have over a thousand Enki cards in the to fluency
5:43
program so if you're interested in downloaded those check out the
5:48
description for more information on this but you can also create your own and
5:54
what I recommend you do is you find the transcript of a TV show you're watching
6:00
so let's say you're watching the first ever episode of Friends you can find the
6:06
transcript online take sentences from that TV show create digital flashcards
6:14
put them into your spaced repetition software and then repeat them I used to
6:21
do this when I was learning Spanish and I actually got the audio as well and
6:27
that way I could listen and repeat and listen and repeat so we use in this
6:32
method pause and repeat but we can use flashcards instead
6:38
spaced repetition software it's a very powerful way to learn a
6:44
language and what you're doing is that you're getting repetition in a smart way
6:51
so let's say you put in a sentence saying I'd love to go to the party I
6:57
would love to go to the party so you put
7:01
it into your space repetition software you repeat it today you repeat it
7:07
tomorrow then in four days eight days 16 days and so on it's a very effective way
7:15
to internalize vocabulary and to internalize grammar SRS spaced repetition software final tip is to
7:28
binge to binge now this means to find a TV show and just watch episode after
7:39
episode after episode after episode and this is possible these days due to
7:45
things like Netflix and other versions that people might use online where you
7:51
can find every episode of a TV ship series and just watch them again and
7:57
again and again so you watch episode 1 today you keep going episode 2 episode 3
8:02
over so for I'm sure you've done this in your native language I recommend you do
8:07
it in English - especially for TV shows because the language is going to get
8:14
repeated again and again and you're going to get used to the different
8:19
characters and the way that they speak so the first episode of friends might be
8:24
quite difficult but if you watch five episodes in a row you're going to learn
8:30
a lot more about the language that they use and your goal to get used to the way
8:35
the characters speak so binging is good if you're learning English we all do it
8:43
with books and TV shows in our native language so do it in English instead
8:48
okay in summary find things that are understandable turn on english subtitle
8:55
use the pause and repeat method use space repetition software to get
9:03
long-term repetition and binge watch TV shows now remember I want you to help me
9:10
out by leaving TV shows and movies that you think are good for intermediate
9:18
learners of English so leave your comments below and again if you are new
9:24
here then go download my book the five-step plan for English fluency and
9:29
if you want to learn more about how to get these flashcards with audio and
9:35
download them and then also improve the way that you speak English and to get
9:40
