Step By Step Technique: Now I'm going to show you how you can improve your language skills or learning a language while watching Netflix. It is a step-by-step technique. So the first step would be to choose a film or series that you absolutely love. You know, the kind of series that you might know by heart, like friends, Gamow thrown or other series that most people have been watched. So you would rewatch that there's a different step there. Either. It is already a film in its original language that you know a lot. That would be for a more advanced level. If you are a beginner, maybe watch something in English just to remind you about that film or that episode. Step two would be to watch it in its original language with English subtitles. So if it's a film infringer watches in French with English subtitles or Spanish weaving the subtitle, depending on what you are learning. If it's something that you used to watch an English sometimes on Netflix, you can change the language and put it in a different language as well. So that depends if you've done the Step one or not. So this will help building up your knowledge of the vocabulary used in the film or in the episode. And I would take notes of this new vocabulary. When you are on this steps, you need to keep watching it like this. So original language plus subtitle until you are completely confident with the language subtitles. And then the new vocabulary makes sense. Step three, what should in the original language and in the original subtitle. So if it's French, French language and French subtitles. So then you are fully immersed in that language. So try to follow and repeat sentences to work on your pronunciation and your accent. Keep doing this step until you are completely confident that while there is no point missing a step because you will find it too difficult, you need to be sure you are completely confident with the audio and with the subtitle in the language that you are learning. Step for. Master the language. Watch it in the learning language with no subtitle, atom. Watch it until you're confident enough and you understand everything. And finally, step five is basically to find another film will continue the same series that you were watching. So to summarize, Step one is basically depending on your level. If you are a beginner, I would use a series of a film that you already know in English. If English is your main language, because then you could change it to French or Spanish or whatever language you are learning. But you would start with something in English that you can just remind you of what they're saying. If you are be more confident, you can start with step two, which is to watch something in its original language straightaway. And it follows on step three, the original language with original subtitles, so no more English subtitle. Step four, you must know the language. You don't have any subtitles at all. Step five, you choose another film and other series to continue building up your knowledge in that language. Really the idea here, for example, if you learning French, watching English with friendship title, too easy, move on to the next step. Watch it something in French. We friendship title, too easy. Watch it in French. Only if you think you are struggling, go back a step. So now let's move on to the next video where I will give you some film and series recommendation to watch. Thank you. 4.
