I would always find myself mumbling DeNiro’s “You talkin’ to me?” or Jack Nicholson’s “Here’s Johnny!” to myself. In my experience, this takes away the fun from watching the film as each new word you don’t understand will look like a giant obstacle in front of you. Many people assume that to learn English you need to watch English movies with English subtitles. What is key here is making sure you enjoy movie watching, and for this you need to understand said movies. It goes without saying that you need to turn on subtitles in your mother tongue to learn from movies at the beginning. Answering this question is key to your English learning journey. Don’t ask “how can I learn English?” (yet), ask “what English-language movies would I be interested in?” Some people like horror, others documentaries some people prefer British comedy to American, etc. Letting yourself get carried away by your interests is key to learning English from movies. One of my favorite such movies is Your Sister’s Sister with Emily Blunt. More specifically, I enjoyed real-life stories and indie dramas that didn’t have a lot of plot but realistically portrayed how people live. I learned English as a byproduct of my interest in American culture and cinema. In this article, I’ll show you how to learn English from watching movies and give you ways to structure your learning process. My goal is to help you do the same, in a much faster time. I would watch three or four movies in a day, and after a few years, I realized I could speak the language. I grew up in the suburbs of Rabat, Morocco and learned English predominantly from watching movies.
