How to quickly learn a language from TV shows

Have you ever wondered how to combine business with pleasure? Today we'll show you how watching TV shows can help you speed up your language learning process.

Learn a language phonetically

When you learn a language, you do exercises. For example, fill in missing words in sentences by saying them to yourself. This is how you memorize words and learn the correct pronunciation, just like with TV shows. Watching them, you hear how words and sentences are pronounced correctly. You understand that there are different accents in a foreign language.

Find the connection between pronunciation and writing

At first glance, it may seem difficult to associate pronunciation with writing, but it is not. For example, while watching a series, you can turn on subtitles. That way, you'll see the text and establish a connection between it and speech. Research shows that over time, these neural connections, which are formed when watching TV shows, will become stronger, which contributes to the development of the brain.

Learn basic words

Watching at least one episode will expand your vocabulary. Each character is known to use specific words and phrases. Learning basic words will help you speak fluently. Of course, this will take some time. But then later you will not pull the words out of memory but will use them naturally.

One word, multiple meanings

Depending on the context, a word can take on a new meaning. The most important thing is to recognize the meaning that is being used in a particular case, and watching TV shows will help you develop this skill. When you already know the basic words, you can see that the words change their meaning depending on the situation.

Learn to decipher ambiguity

Watching the series, you do not understand everything. With each series, the phrases can get more complicated. In such cases, record them on the recorder and listen after a while. This will help you decipher the ambiguity of phrases that you did not catch the first time. Also, by listening to phrases and dialogues, you will learn to express your thoughts more naturally.
