Start watching movies in English!

- Movies let you learn informal and slang words, which are not find in formal English dictionaries.

- Movies also let you improve your pronunciation, not only grammar and vocabulary.

Some tips when watching movies in English:

*If you are playing the movie, you can stop it whenever you don't understand a sentence. You can then play the sentence as many times as you want, until you are able to understand all the words in the sentence, or at least most of them.

* In most DVDs, you can turn on the subtitles. With them, there is no problem with unclear dialog, because everything is just written on the screen. It is also easy to look up difficult words in the dictionary, because you will know their spelling.

*But the best way is trying to alternate between these two ways, because only reading the subtitles can make you stop listening and start concentrating just on reading. The more skills you exercise, the better!
