HOW TO… LEARN ENGLISH WITH TV SERIES

Watching a TV series in English is a great way to improve your English. Here are 12 reasons why.

Twelve reasons why learning English with TV series is such a good idea.

1 There’s a lot of conversation, so you’ll be learning lots of useful spoken language. Also, the dialogues are often short and easy to follow.

2 Watching a TV series is great for your listening ability, which is THEkey skill in language learning. Once you can listen and understand, you’ll learn English easily and effortlessly.

3 By watching a TV series, you’ll hear English in context, so you’ll see how and when the language is used. And although the dialogues have been scripted, they’re designed to sound as natural and authentic as possible.

4 TV series are often entertaining and funny, which will keep you motivated. And those that aren’t comedies are full of drama, suspense and tension, which will make you want to watch them. Finally, the episodes are usually short (often about 30- 40 minutes) so you won’t get bored.
