چطوری با موزیک و فیلم زبان یاد بگیرم

Ok I wanna show you 2 ways to practice English

doing things you already love to do

and those two things are

listening to music

and watching movies

let’s go

So, let’s talk about movies

you don’t need particular movies

to learn and practice English

just pick a movie you like

I like action movies

you?

Then go for it

why movies?

Because they’re entertaining

and so you’re learning and practicing English

without noticing

that’s cool right?

One thing you should do is

to watch your favorite movies with English subtitles

and of course NOT Persian subtitles

You have to be able to think in English.

many English learners struggle with

translating Farsi to English in their minds.

that’s because the whole idea is wrong.

That way, you can’t think and speak fast enough

and you’re always looking for words to translate.

An extra process keeps happening in your mind

and makes you less fluent

and sometimes less accurate.

Alright but

what does it have to do with movies and English subtitles?

Listen

human brain

works and learns better

if you show it a picture to accompany a phrase.

Think of it this way.

have you ever told someone

that you remember their name

but you can’t recognize their face?

Of course not

Seeing a phrase in the subtitles

and seeing the related images in the movie

is what we need to remember and learn English.

Also, It helps you to say the phrase you’ve learnt instantly

without any hesitation or translating.

Well, that was about the movies

now let’s talk about music

music?

Why did I say it like that?

anyways

And I mean English songs not…

you know what I mean

Music might be used for learning idioms

phrasal verbs

and stuff like that but

Ok

the main usage I want to emphasize on here

is dropping the Persian accent.

ta-da

Is that the right expression?

I don’t know.I just went for it.

I forgot to tell you that

if you want this to work

try singing with the song.

It will help you pick up the accent and intonation.

Sorry what?

You don’t have a good singing voice?

Neither do I.

who cares?

Ok pick any song you like

listen to it a couple of times

and try to guess and understand the words.

then you need the lyrics

‫I use an app called Genius

to find the lyrics for my songs

ok

when you got the lyrics

play the music

read the lyrics

and try to sing along

Your brain automatically does the job for you.

It works really damn well

trust me on this

Let me tell you something before I go.

you don’t need to understand every bit

of the movie you’re watching

or the music you’re listening to.

Even I don’t understand the whole thing

just have fun with it

that’s it ladies and gentlemen.

be safe

thank you for your time

see you soon.
