Do English movies increase our English speaking skills?
Watching English movies can help you improve listening skills, speaking skills, pronunciation, vocabulary. It helps by putting your English knowledge into practice to improve your English! You will also learn informal English and slang words and phrases that you often do not find in books or dictionaries.
Surely it helps.
Watching movies is a great way for you to improve your English, especially your listening and speaking skills. Films are not usually created for English language learners – they are made for native English speakers. Therefore, the language is exactly how you hear it in real life – it is spoken quickly, with native accents and pronunciation, and uses many idioms and colloquial expressions.
You may want to start watching these films using Subtitles, and then gradually switch them off once you start getting the accent because the way they speak English in movies is not quite understandable to many of non-native English speakers.
Watching movies in English will help you in many ways:
1. Listening skills – You will hear English being used in a very natural way. Some parts may be spoken too fast for you to understand but it will be a perfect way for you to get used to hearing native speakers talk to each other. You will also hear informal English and slang words and phrases that you often do not find in books or dictionaries.
2. Speaking skills – Hearing natives speak will also help your speaking skills, especially your fluency. You will hear how to link your words together and where you should give proper pause. Why not watch films with your friends and speak about them afterward? Many people try to recite their favorite dialogues and their accent.
3. Pronunciation – We all know that English pronunciation is extremely important and when you read words it is hard to know how they should be said. When you watch the movies and hear the dialogues, you will understand the correct pronunciation of different words.
4. Vocabulary – By watching English movies, you will hear many new words and phrases, especially idioms and colloquial expressions. You will hear many sarcastic dialogues, motivational dialogues/speeches, romantic phrases, slang (phrases used in day-to-day life).
You may also go for some good TV shows as they contain words of daily use (a.k.a. slang) more than the movies. Game of Thrones (recommended) is a very good TV show for the 1′s who want to hear the different accents. There are many other shows also.
