Another way to improve English is to watch English movies.
Yeah, I know you are crazy about the Chackies, the Bonds, the Tom Cruises, etc., etc. and have watched lots of movies of this kind. But it’s better to watch movies which have more dialogues than action movies.
Movies which have a nice story line, or
sitcom comedies where dialogues play a vital role, will help you to improve
your command over the language.
Here I will help you with an idea. First,
find a movie which comes under the given condition. Watch the movie once. Watch
it again…. and again. Watch it at least 5 times. Now break down movies into
smaller parts. May be you can break a movie into 6 – 8 parts or roughly 10 mins
a part. Watch the first part with the subtitle, till you can understand all the
pronunciations. Then try to read the subtitle with the movie. You may not match
the original speed and pronunciation .… don’t lose heart
This is how you should imitate the dialogues... :-) |
Repeat this activity till you match the
pronunciation. Now try with the next part. You will feel that the second part
is much easier than the first one. By the time you finish a movie, you would
have improved a lot.
Hope this activity helps.
